STATE CONVENTION.

We continue 10 receive the most gratifying inteli-
gence from the unchanged democrats in all parts OF the
State approving the proposed Convention to be held
in Bangor on the 18th instant, to nominate suitable
candidate for Governor. The Loco Focos have been
checked in their mad, anrepubcan policy by the firm
of the Conservatives, and the country for time
relieved from the whitening and blghng effects OF the
old exploded federal measures which they have attempt
ed and are still determined they recruit
their forces to fasten upon the country II the Con-
servaves now relax in their opposition to these runous
measures and suffer themselves to be drawn into the
support Of Loco Foco candidates for Office all that has
been gained by the unchanged democracy Of the coun-
try will be lost The Loco Foco leaders, after abusing
and denouncng every consistent democrat who has had
the frmness 10 adhere to Jefersonan principles, now
want our votes for their candidates. and nsultingy
quest us to lay down and rally around their
Ultra agraran standard Their emissarcs sent out
to soohe and pacify, for season, the old democrats
they have so avshy abused and vilifed Can there be
man in this Spartan band lost to honor, to patriot
ism, and love of country TO be scduced by the
deceptive promises and alluremens Of the Loco Foco
leaders We trust not No confidence whatever
should be reposej in these till they abrogate and
cnounce the heresy of Loco Focosm and return to the
principles Of ancient and rational democracy. Resting
the broad platform Of democracy, which sustained
the administrations Of Jefferson, Madison and Monroe,
with principles not men, for the regulation and guild
ancc Of political course is here intend to stand,
and from which neither the allurements Of the Purse
nor the Establishments Of the Sgord either seduce
or drive us.-Eastern (Mc,) Republican,

THE TRUE POLICY.

The Conservative Democrats in Maine
have nominated the Hon. F. 0. j. Smith as
their candidate for Governor
This is the true policy for the Conservative
to pursue. They should have distinct or
ganiza,ions, and their own candidates. By
adhering to that course, the party will increase
rapidly, both in numbers and strength, and
give increased consequence to the important
station they now occupy.
Mr.. Smith, now in Europe, is still mem
Der of Congress from Maine, and is well
known as an able and independent legislator.

Speak not of life, to man SO nobly dear
OH say not Ills his first his only care
Who would not bleed upon freeman's sod -
Than live and couch beneath tyrants nod.
The timid wretch whose quiv'ring heart recoils
In base detection, from patriots tolls;
Who meier hath felt celestial freedoms glow
Turns with the mind and trembles at a Toe.
There dwels feeling in the human heart
Eager to seize, unwilling TO depart
A thing that says: man, thou vert born to be
In thought, in heart, in mind and action free.
Thou, unbelever! whom it 'hoves 10 see
Or deem il unbecoming to obey,
Go, search the moss-cappd monuments Of Greece
Where linger freemen in the lap OF peace

Yon, low beneath Laconia's fruitful sod;
Zen on Abani's mounts Of glistning snow
Now sleeps the freeman's friend, the despots foe

warn our President Of the dangers of his po-

posed to heed the advice of his good phys-
clans. How many have fallen dupes to the
quackery and empiricism of the day!
If our Chief Magistrate, in his search after
trultion and information, permits himself, for
once, TO be accessible, he will learn the unwel-
come truth that the recent conduct of his par
tizans has settled his fate in the Old Do
minion. We are satisfied, by unquestioned
