 ls wil be seen that meeting of the Wings of this town has been called on Monday next to appoint del egates to the State County and District Conventions It is important that there should be general attend ance on the occasion. To make the selection of our candidates acceptable it is necessary that dele gates to these Conventions ehoud be appointed by distinct expression of the popular will.

The "Ex- pungers--the natilat0rs of the public records-the poGtica! spanies wh" come and go, fetch and carry; at the beck or nod of demagogue master-will ell vote for Johnson, should he walk into the Senate Chamber with black wife or concubine hanging on each arm The free and independent and yirtuous winds of Heaven-and dny ding is fit to preside over an American Senate, composed of such cTea. tures as now form its majority -Brfalo Whig.
 True-very true-and what when the above was written was conjecture, is now history. Richard M.

"virtue hath fled to bsutsh beasts, and have lost their rsason.''
