STATE CONVENTION.

The Richmond Times Qa,e the Compiler) has
taken ground against State Convention, as a
measure likely to be injurious to the Eastern por
ton of the State--and it advises the Fast to a.
dept some compromise with the West, in good
time, as the latter "will preponderate even work
ing against the present mode of representation
(the mixed basis.)
The Wing has heretofore been the advocate Of
a Convention, but has not touched the subject
lately. 1t is probable it may renew its labors in
that behalf.
The Enquirer has been entirely non-committal,
as far as we have observed, and notwithstanding
Its progressive" tendencies, we think it very
doubtful whether it will give a very hearty adj
vocacy Of a measure which must transfer power
ffom Its present possessors.-Pinchssfe Rem.

CONE STORY Is ALWAYS GOOD TILL ANoTH
Err is TOLD

In relation to the murder Of Clifton Thompson.
of Kentucky, by Fl. Daniel, the Frankfort Yeo-
man gives different account from that which we
some time since copied into our paper. In Court
an affidavit made by Daniel was pronounced by
Thompson, "false and slanderous.' The Yeo.
man says:
"Daniel warned him not to repeat that AGAIN.
He Instantly did repeat it in most insulting
manner. Then the conflict ensued-Thompson
drawing six barrel revolving pistol, every bar.
rel well charged, and Daniel drawing a single
barrel pistol. rhompson's pistol fell on the foo,
out of his hand, after he was shot. Independent
of his pistol which he had drawn, he had a drl
knife in his coat pocket. There can be no doub
that he came into court that morning with settled
determination to take the life of Daniel.''

An act for the gradual abolition of slavery in
the French colonies has passed the House Of
Peers. 1t was introduced and supported by the
Cabinet, and will, therefore, it is to be presumed
be equally successful in the House of Deputies
The principle of the act is, by requiring the mas
tiers to give one day in each week to the slaves,
that they may, by the freedom Of that days la
Dor, which is to be paid for at just valuation,
accumulate a sum sufficient to buy their own
freedom. This is likely to be very long pro-
cess, and the value Of the labor, as compared
with the value Of the slave, will be fixed at a
price go low as to require many years before the
price of liberty can be accumulated.

There 10 fierce contest among the leading
Locofocos of Mississipp;, for the post Of u. s.
Senator. Gen. Quitman, Gen. Foote, Governor
McNu,t, and a half dozen others, are competitors.
The chief objection against Quitman is that he is
pretty strongly suspected Of being bond payer,
having been detected, on a certain occasion, in
paying debt ofhis own. No such ground Of
suspicion exists against either of the other aspi-
rants.
