THE STATE CONVENTION, AND
THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

We are happy to announce, that so far
o. we are advised, Concord hes almost re-
turned to the Republican ranks, and that
the disappointed friends Of one Of the
candidates" are willing to acquieSce in
the decision Of the Convention. We
trust it will not be long before the Wings
will feel the consequence Of this auspi'
cious union ofthe Republican party
and when every sign ofthe excited and
rather embittered discussion, which was
hoped by the Wings, and apprehended
by the democrats, will vanish into thin
air. The signs in other States, which
begin to dawn upon US, are calculated
also TO confirm the hopes which we ven.
tured to express on Tuesday last, that
the time specified by our Convention
would receive the sanction Of our sister
States. We already witness this gene.
