Sunday morning, portion of the national ensign
Headquarters, came down, and the lower por
tio, which bears the names of WINTHROP and
GlENNELL, was separated from the bunting in
sn,h manner as to render extensive repairs ne
cesary. The Free Sellers, in this city, are not
atlll inclined to be superstitious, or to put much
(aih in signs and omens, but, it seems to be the
general opinion, that the downfall of the Wing
flag is premonition of the downfall Of the party,
AMI that, if the national bunting will not tolerate
even the names of the wing candidates, the peo-
Pile will not tolerate them.

and where the eclipse Of the sun was toat darkness
like that Of night prevailed for some minutes. Du-
ring this time great number Of stars was visible,
among them Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury ,were per-
lectly visible. The natural phenomena produced on
the animal and vegetable world were highly inter-
esting. Several flowers closed, the birds which had
been before flying about, suddenly disappeared, the
cocks crowed and the birds went to roost In some
villages great CONSERVATION prevailed among the in
habitants, and many families shut themselves up in
their rooms, ill the eclipse over, so great was
their superstition. This, however, was by no means
general, for dense crowds with magnifyng glasses,
telescopes, and smokec glass, were assembled on the
heights to witness this interesting scene.

CoNsTITUTIoNAL CONVENTION. - The whg
papers have good deal to say about the cost of the
proposed constitutional convention, if the value
of political and social reforms could be sured by
dollars anu cents. However, taking them upon their
own ground, the Times goes into an ertmaie OF the
probable expense, and concludes that it will be about
ten cents to each citizen! Can't the wings get up
another ten cent rebellion the strength of this
For part, think that if the constitutional con-
vention should do nothing more than define the
rights Of Jurors, outraged in the Sims case, and
should erect barriers 10 protect State judiciary
from the outrages of bloodhound commissioners, it
would do work worth all the cost which would be
incurred. We trust every friend of freedom will
vote eyes on the question of holding conven-
ton.
