Convention at Concord, the 2th inst, and withdrew
the nomination Of the fion JoHN r. HALE as one Of
their candidates for Representative in Congress on

however, answer, and no doubt will nc, the part for
which he is selected with becoming idety-and that
is simply the part of dough face" TIr Hale who

the Annexation Of Texas long the South rcquir-
ed that the condition of Annexation should be the
making of all the nhabtabe part thereof slave terri

the wors. kind Of tyranny the face OF the earth

been filled in one attempt TO take advantage of the
absence and sickness Of several Wings, has debsr.
alely refused to 60 into election Of T. Senator by
indefinitely roslPonng the resolution of tho House of

orty in each Of the Senaes aud refuse 90 into an
election by Joint ballot with the House provided by
the Constitutions of the States Thus they will chen:
the Wings out ofthe U. S. Senate for while at
least. This is no better than notification.

The Royal PRoGREss. The President cleo,
reached Wheeling Sunday evening, having trav-
eled the whole of that day. This fact, we presume
will not escape the animadver of those aoralists
