 TIE CoNvENrIoNs-Next month is the time when usual conventions for putting in nomination can- didaes to be supported the April election to be held. 1t is important that these should be we'll at- tended, that impulse may then be given popular opinion which may carry US safely through the cam- paign. No man who has watched the "signs of the tmes with any degree of interest for the last six months doubt that the locofocos of this State are determined upon making desperate effort to regain their long-ost power. They see the divisions which have been made in our ranks by the decease of the lamented HARRISON and the accession to the Presi- dency of Mr. TYLER, and are determined to take ad- vantage of them for overthrow. Will not our friends disappoint their expectations? will they not rally again in support of the principles which they have so long and manfully upheld will they suE. fer wary enemy to them and their country's well fare to take advantage of their apathy and niffcr- ence, and again mount into power! Let every gen. uine whig-let every patriotic spirit answer-No?- Gird on your armor, then, in season-determne that victory shall again be yours-and it will be.
 LIcENsEs-The town of Norwich, in which We have understood that heretofore there has been good deal of tipplng. and consequently been large Der of grog. shops, of the wet groceries are called, held meeting upon the subject of granting licenses last week. After free and full discussion upon various projects the following preamble and re- solutions presented and adopted by the vote Of 22l to 65:-
 Whereas, nearly all of the Paupersm and Crime in the town of Norwich occasiOned by the of h. toxicatlnR Drinks; therefore,
 Resoloed, That the town of Norwich will grant no Licenses for the year lS42.
 We have as yet heard of the action of very few other towns-and scarcely none in this county. Go shen, almost always right, held meeting and dissol- we'd without doing any shing-equivalent to prohi- bi,ion-the Board of Selectmen and Civil Authority having previously licensed taverners, and some others to retail for medical purposes Wa'ertopn granted general license-in that town of little consequence.
 Litchfed holds another meeting next week to act upon this question. We trust our citizens will come together and discuss the subject fairly and dispasson interest of the whole people.
 Another move in 7snmessee-The Senate of Ten. nessee few days since chose H. L. Turney and Thomas Brown U. s. Senators-and sent their names to the other house for approval It is hardly ry to say that the Representatives were not to be
 
 joint ballot, the whigs will not be dragooned into the choice of locofoco Senators.
 Slaveholders' ConuentioH.-A convention of slave. holders was held at Annapolis Md. last week. Wha. the particular object was, or be, We know not An incident occurred, however, during the session which shows that their feelings towards northern ab. oltoniss are not much softened. A Mir. Tory, sus- lrf 1,niS C. nlo was found in the convention, and Tot giving satis- factory of himself, was crciby elected from the meeting; and if it had not been for some peace officers, would have been rode a rail- He was ta- ken to prison to await his rial-but for what crime we cannot imagine-for it does not appear he made any disturbance. and the only thing found against him, yet, was that he was about to write histo " of the character of the convention"

 "fuilotine in Motien."-This startling head, says Philadelphia paper, used to figure largely in every locofoco paper when Postmaster removed and a whg substituted. The saddle is now on the olh- CT horse" to some extent, and in of the States where elections adverse the whies have been held, the beheading process goes on merrily. Hear what Michigan paper proposes:

 Anoiher terrible Riot in Cincinnati-A correspon- den, of the N Y Tribune of Tuesday, under date of Cincinnati Jan. IT, says" Our city is at this mo ment in a state of tremendous excitement. Yeser- day, after Banking hours, it rumored that the Mi ami Exporting Co.
