Wool GROWERS CONVENTION. we pub
fish to-day the doings of those wool growers
who met in convention on the 10th ult at
Stcubenville, Ohio. We trust that our broth.
err farmers will excuse the length of the arti,
Gle, when they consider that it relates to a
very important branch of their occupation,
bnt one which at present is very much de-
pressed.
1t gives us pleasure to read the spirited re-
marks and good sense which are manifested
in the report of their proceedings. There is
much matter of fact embodied in them which
every wool grower ought to treasure in his
memory.
1t has always appeared to us as very sngu-
lar, that while the manufacturer was always
on the alert to make every thing bend to his
advantage and never found deserving his post,
when Congress was about tomake any change
in the revenue laws by which the importa-
ton of foreign cloths was to be affected, the
wool grower contented himself with very
little exertion, and at last left it all to the
manufacturer to arrange as he thought prop
en-
The consequence always has been this
the wool grower always come out second best
Just enough encouragement is given him to
excite his hopes, and not enough to enable
him to realize full enjoyment of suitable
profit from the investment of money, care, la
Dor and anxiety respecting his flock. Under
this view of the case, it was peculiarly graft
fying to us to learn that convention of wool
growers had been called, and VIC are happy
in being enabled to lay before our readers so
good a report of their doings.-lidine Far

We had the pleasure this morning OF visit from dis
tnguished democrat OF Warren county, North Carolina
from whom learn that the democracy of the "Old
North" are up and doing, and will at their ensuing con-
gressona elections render the best possible account
themseyes-under the Infamous Badgered arrangement
of the districts. He states that Gen j. r. j. Daniel the
present able representative from the old Halifax district
will undoubtedly be reelected although two candidates
are running against him, independent democrats, aided
by the wings. We have too much confidence in the
sterling democracy of old Edgecomb Franklin, Nash
and the home of Macon, good "old Warren" to doubt
for moment that they will vndicate the usages of the
party and re-elect their worthy nominee.
