From the Eastern Republican.
THE CONVENTION.

We were highly gratificd at the spirit manifested
at the State Convention held in this City Thurs
day last The real Democracy were there-the
farmer, the mechanic, the manufacturer, ard the
sailor The producing glasses were well represent
ed but saw no loafers, except two or three Loco
FOcoS tlking notes in the galleries. An excellent
spirit prevailed, and all were highly gratihed. The
accounts received from the various quarters Of the
State, and especially this county, are truly cheering.
No Loco oco can be elected 10 any Office in this
county, nor can the Loco-Foco candidate for Go
vernon come within haling distance Of an election.
Indeed, If we had organized six months ago, we
might have carried our Senators in this county, and
with proper exertons We NAV do II sill. The peo-
pie are everywhere waking up to the Importance Of
the subject The zeal Of our friends in the country
was concklsivey shown by their leaving their farms
this busy season. just in the midst of their haying,
TO attend the Convention In reply TO the remark TO
young man from Carmel that we had not expected
so many from The country Al this busy season, he
said il better to leave lille hay, than TO de-
Sert the country"
We never saw more sober men than the Locos.
They had sent EN- ssares TO every town from which
they expected delegates, TO deter the people from
coming They denounced us as federaists-lhey
assured the people the object was 10 renominae Mr..
Kent They misrepresenled our numbers and mo-
lives and altered themselves they had prevented the
people from attending. When they discovered their
mistake, and found them pouring in from every
quarter they assembled in front of the City Hall
to browbea coax, and wheedle them into the Loco
Foco ranks But II was no 60" They were pre-
pared 10 go LOT principles anu tnelF country IN spite
OF intimidation and threats. They were men who
have been foremost in every struggle for liberty,
who buckled on their swords and hasened to the
tented field at their counry's call-men who, in "a
when the great mass of the party committed the Re-
publican banner TO no friendly hands, resisted this
dissertation, and rallied 10 the rescue in 2S-men
who, in "a found foremost in the thickest Of
the fight, and who are known through the State as
staunch and Incorporating Republicans. Those
mushroom democrats who spring up in night and
wither in q day aSsail such men in vain The Re-
pubcans Of Maine will remember where these men
were when their party was broken up during "the
era of good feelings" They saved the party then,
and are destined to save the party again.

1G"We regret TO see that the resoIu.
ton offered by Mr.. Patton, and adopted
by the House Of Representatives, de-
clariDg that all petitions. memorials, and
papers, touching the abolition of slavery,
shall be laid on the table without being
debated, printed, read OF referred, is
treated by many Of the newsp apers in
the North and West, which have not
heretofore favored the Aboliiionists, as
an alarming violation Of the right of Pc
tition. The justice of this course we
are at loss to comprehend. Does the
resolution practically affect the rights or
privileges of any citizen of the non
slave-holding States : Is important in
any sense that their sentiments should
be heard on question in which they
have no personal interest and over
which they can justly exercise nc con.
troll. Ii slavery be an evil, the evil is
not their's-if it be sinful, the sin is no,
theirs. BY the compact which binds
us together as one people, they have no
right to interfere with our domestic in
stitutions, nor can they do SO but iu vio-
lation OF the plainest dictates of duty.
How then is the right of petition ipvad-
ed? As well might they send in petit

FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY.

AT the last annual session Of the Cen,
eral Assembly of Virginia, an act of in
corporation was granted for Fire In>
surance Company. in which we have
felt considerable interest, and to which
we have hitherto refrained from caIl;nn
the attention of our fellow citizens only
because we expected the gentlemen at
whose instance the act was obtained
would ,ere this. have taken up the subject,
and adopted measures for the organiza.
ton OF the company. We allude to the
act to incorporate The Millers Mutual
Fire Insurance Company" in the coun-
ties of Augusta and Rockingham" We
have long wished to see such an ins.itu.
ton among us, and the provisions OF the
charter for the above company strike us
as being altogether liberal, and ms fully
meeting the wants of every portion OF
our community. The act authorizes n
capital OF fifty thousand dollars, in shares
OF one hundred dollars each, with power
to increase the same to two hundred
thousand dollars, and gives authority to
make insurance against all kinds of dam.
age or loss by fire ON mills, mill houses,
and other buildings Of every description,
and also on furniture, goods, wares, pro.
duce, and merchandise in store. The
Commissioners for carrying the act into
effect are Michael Whitmore. David
Hedrick, William r. Stuart, Joseph
Smith, and Jacob Baylor of Augusta
county, and Stephen Hausbarger, Jacob
Conrad, Samuel Count, Robert Grattan.
and John Crisman, of Rock ingham.-
We can but express the hope that the
Commissioners will meet at an early dov
and fix time for opening books for the
subscription Of the capital stock. We
do not doubt that the whole amount
will be taken at once by our citizens.
