The national Convention.

Several of the democratic papers in New England seem
to be very much in favor of holding the convention oI
the nomination of candidate for the presidency upon
the anniversary of our national independence. They
urge several weghy considerations in support of their
views while they believe that no good reason can be
given against them. Beside the enthusiasm and kind
feeling and harmony which that glorious event is cal
cuated to inspire they consider short and vigorous
campaign more likely to than long and
spiri,less one. Among the papers which recommend
this course are the Bangor Democrat and Frontier Jour
nal in Maine and the Boston Post ana Barnstabe Patriot
in Massachusetts, Several other highly respectable
journals have taken the ground The Patriot says
"What day so appropriate for this great national purpose
as the FOURTH OF JULY? What happy, harmonizng in
fuences always affect that glorious day! What a
spirit of unity and would inspire the counsels oil
the convention ~ 'We hope to see the democratic
press of the whole country recommending the Fourth o
July the proper day for holding the great democratic
tiona convention
For ourselves we objection certainly to the 4h
OF july 1S4s, as the time for holding the convention
We shall cheerfuly acquesce in the selection of any day
most convenient for the meeting AT all events, do
not hesitate TO express the opinion that it would be better
TO hold il at a later period than May, 1S4S

During the action of the goth tan while troops
were retiring from the bridge OF Churubusco to Candida

them, four dragons and captain OF the enemy threw
