Free Soil Conventions.

The Free Soil Convention assembled at Buffa:
10, II. Y, or the 9th inst, ard was attended by
some or 5000 persons. All the Free States
were fully represented, also Delegates were in at
tendance from the slave States of Delaware, Ma
ryland Virginia, and Missouri. The Convention
organized temporarily by the appointment of Ma
thaniel Sawyer, of Ohio, Chairman. Two Secre-
,aries were appoimed-ons from Illinois. the other
from Connecticut A platform of principles was
read TO the Convention in the form of three resolu
lions one declares i 10 be duty of the General
Government TO abolish slavery wherever it has
the constitutional power; another declares that
slavery in the States is solely under the control of
State authority and another declares that slavery
in Territories should be prevented by combined
action. All these were carried by acclamation.
Committee was appointed TO report perma-
nent officers for the Convention, who reported the
Hon CHARLES F. ADAMS, of Massachusetts, as
President. with I6 Vice Presidents, and number
Of Secretaries.
Messrs Giddings, Butler, and others addressed
she Convention during the session.
lhe Commluee on nominations UNANIMOUSLY re-
ported in favor of Martin Van Buren for the Pres
idency, the Convention confirmed the nomination
on the FIRST ballot by a vote of 244 in its favor,
against l5l for John p Hale; al scattering.
Martin Van Buren was then declared to be the
nominse of the Convention for the office Of Pres.
dent and Charles Francis Adams was subsequent
.queniy nominated by acclamatlon for the Vice

change has been going on in my mind on the SUBJ
ject. How can you trust such whittier!
Lastly. The party which nominated him is
pledged to these principles, and guarantees ms
support of them if elected and this is proved not
by party professions merely, but is realized al
ready by the acting, being of Mr.. Polk's Admins
tration, which have approved out and out; the
question being now, ,rhether this present Admins
tation shall be continued By the same party acih
Mr. Cass at ITS head, or be changed and destroyed
By entirely opposite party ~ith opposite princ'-
pies and measures"
That's fair and square. Those who want four
years more of Polkism will find Lewis Cass ex-
actly their man.

The August Elections.

Hlinois-Tn this State the Whig gain has been
considerable SO far as heard from. Two Sena-
TORS and four Representative have been gained,
and the probability is that we have swept this Loa
cefoco strong hold.
North Cdrolina.---Ried the Locofoco candi-
date for Governor has gained considerably, and
il is thought will be elected. The complexion OF
the Legislature is still in doubt.
Missoagi-Returns from the State are arriving
slowly. Nothing can be determined, as yet, as to
The general result. As far as heard from, the
Wings have gained FIVE. and rfse Locofocos, two
members of the Legislature.
Kentucky.--This State, of course. is Wing all
o~er. C:itlenden's majority for Governor is from
8 to I0,o00-the vote being small. Legislature
largely Whig
Lndiana.-The returns from Indiana indicate that
this State will be gloriousiy yre6eemsd The Wing
gains have been aarge.
