The CnuSe.

Among the favorable indications, showing the
steady and healthy Advancement of the cause of
Free Democracy, the increased circulation of anti
slavery newspapers and publications, is regarded
not among the least. For example the Nation
al Era has already reached circulation of trenty-
eight thousand aud is increasing at the rate of
seven hundred week
Free Democratic papers in different localities,
are also handsomely increasing their circulation,
and are hence occupying larger fields than before.
The Western Reserve Chronicle, one of the
most faithful, efficient and devoted rec Democrat
ic papers, has increased its list of subscribers for
the last four weeks at the rate of one Hundred a
neck!
How soon will good friends in Portage
County enable US TO make similar report in re-
gard TO the increased circulation of the Ohio Start

Portage County we pledge them that we can car
ry the county at the next election.

effect, that it was vitality important to sustain
the Columbian, as Free Democratic paper at
the capital of the State.
Mr.. Lewis said many thought it folly to start
a new paper go long as The old ones were not we'll
supported. But his rule was to encourage all
such new projects. He encouraged and sub
seribed for the weak papers, the strong ones could
stand without his help. Tincs are gradually
changing. The National Era has $4,000 subscri-
bers. The Clinton County paper has 1900 SUBJ
scrbeis, and it is the best paper in the State out of
the Free Democratic ranks. 1t is vastly important
to have Free Democratic paper in Columbus,
and he hoped every member of the Convention
would subscribe for it before leaving. This paper
should be we'll sustained.
Rev. Mr.. Smith said he had some experience in
newspapers. Some thought did well by chan

he was satisfied it was great mistake. 1t work

that and let their local paper starve. This won't
do. We must sustain our local papers or we can
not succeed. He proceeded at some length, and
gave ludricous account of his Anti-Slavery expe-
rience. Is spoke with great good humor.
The resolution was thea adopted.
MIR. Shepard, of Cincinnati, moved that clubs be
established in every county and township of the
State, TO be called Free Democratic Clubs.'-

Mr.. Lewis was then called, and addressed the
Convention at some length on the great enterprise
before them. We cannot give even the substance

and ability, and apparently much to the satisfac-

Ir the morning after organization, after the Com

Subject of nominations. Three names were pre-
sented. Messrs. Vance, Spalding, and Lewis
o p. Brown, of Portnge, rose, and with great an
imation, and deep eloquence, said he lad cand
date to name, but could not DO so, while Mr.. Lew
is positively declined. Turning to him, he ad
dressed him in most touching manner, declarin:
that he the first, and only choice of the Free
Democracy, aud invoKed him to stand. The Con
vention seconded this appeal with stirring empha
sis. It's heart went out in applause which follow
edit with telling effect. Samuel Lewis, that brave
old soldier and tried man, sought 10 evade the ar
peal; urged reasons why he should not be selected
declared that he was worn, and that frssher MAJ
should be brought out. Ed. Wade rose, and de
clared that the Convention must be judge, and a
he spoke, that Convention answered his positions
by its earnest applause, in n tone, and with pow
