From IN. sen,cr Comfy Couycy
THE SARATOGA CONFERENCE.-The call Tor TINS Con-
venton which is TO be bed on the 10th August announces
that Il object to consider what measures are necessary
and proper For the protection OF tue free states from
southern aggression and northern tcetey for the re-
coyery of the rights of The free states integral
Coyerputnt from the control of the Save power.
These subjects of great importance AM may well oc-
cupy the attention Of the Convention many days indeed
good men men of sound moral and political principle,
will think of them continually Tho encroschments OF the
South are becoming daily aud more insuppOrtab.e;
southern RepIopentgtyes are becoming more aud
more insolent in their intercourse with those who
d,sapproye Of the extension OF Slavery. IL Is high
time. therefore, for those who intend to breathe
free mir Themselves 10 put on their armor,
and their strength to restrain the monster
within the boUHds originally prescribed for him. IL is 10
be hoped that Convention will pass by aud disregard
all subjects lesitimatcy connected with this aud
devote its energies 10 the maturing Of measures which
shall secure 10 Freedom the ascendcncy in the counses nj
tho nation; an ascendency which, bat Tor Northern reach
try, would always have existed We blush wheu We
proclaim the huIniatng fact here in country people
with profes-ed freomen republIcans-in these United
States where the Tree OF Liberty was planted aud
watertd By patriotic hands, and nurtlrned by the
blood OF men who wOrshped al the sinino OF
Liberty-that here, where the ennobling principles
which brought u into existence nation should
crow uxuriantly and spontaneously has become
sary for true men assemble IN convention ~ devise

ica,e the noxous weeds by their band and thus pre-
.erye the temple from the sacregeou assaults Of the IN
principled and designing foe.
