THE SARATOGA CONVENTION.

Its already rendered morally certain that large
majority OF the Counties of our State will be fully
represented in the anti Douglas Convention at Sara
toea on the 10th OF August In addition to the Coun-
ties from which have already published adyices,
We hear OF Calls in circulation for Conventions TO
send Delegates in WASHINGTON, WESTMINSTER,
ONoNDAGA BRooME. SENECA. DC. We presume
there are others from which have special init
nations in which similar movements have already
been started, and that they will be in nearly all
of the residue. Should sny Isl, to be represented in
the State Convention the is to be sought not
in popular apathy but in the absence of local Organi-
cations and of personal indictments to effort in
nection with the tact that "what is eserybody's
cuisines is nobody's" Were there but the nucleus
of an organization in the several Counties every one
would be represented.
As TO what the Convention will do. We observe far
more solicitude and hear more discussion among the
adyersries than among the friends of the movement.
The former can find no fault with the avowed objects
of the Convention but they shudder at the thought
that il may attempt to organize great northern
party, and in this spirit proceed to nominate State
Ticket. We shall not conceal our conviction that
something very like this ought to have ere now been
agreed on. We believe the lead given by Michigan
in nominating on Independent State Ticket COM
posed of Wings, Free Sellers and Democrats united
in hostility Slavery Extension under the common
appellation OF REPUBLICAN. might have wisely and
benefceutly been followed in all the States But
have seen 10 indications that the great body of the
Anti Nebraska voters OF our State are prepared for
this step and we are very sure that it has not been
contemplated by majority OF the signerS to the
o. II ;r..-
moreover from the tone of majority of the Journals
which have repubsbed md indorsed the State Call
that they do not anticipate the formation of State
Ticket nor the adoption of common name at Sara
tOga.
On these important points, however we do not
speak for the COnvention-that will speak for itself
We do not assume to decide what it ought to dove
trust the Delegates will assemble instructed on that
head by their constituents. and will heed other
authority And in order that the decision arrived at
may be just and authoritative, we are anxious that
every locality and every variety Of Anti Nebraska sen
timent may be represented. Let Wings, Democrats
and Free Sellers who mean to have the great wrong
of 1854 redressed, be sent as Delegates from each
county so that the Convention may embody and give
effect TO the conclusions not only of the reesoued
advocates OF nFersdl LlOtE! IN our Own Slhtc Out

The Convention will be held and much more severe
