THE SECOND AND THIRD CoNGREssION-


We would again invite the attention of the
electors of the Second Congressional District to
call in our paper for a Convention at White
River Junction, on the 23d insc.-which call,
though backed by some dozen other Names sent
us last week and this, now appears under the
sanction of the District Committee, without
however varying the character of the call, the
intention still being to have it u Mass Conven-
ton, not only of Free Democrats, but of all OF
each Of the two old parties who are willing to
come, in good faith, into movement for new
and independent party.
We also this week publish notice for Free
Democratic Convention for the Third Congress-
ional District, to be held at johnson on the 25th
of August, forwarded us by leading antiSlavery
men in that District, to take into consideration
the position of political affairs in that District,
and to nominate candidate fer Congress there
also.
| In tlis connection, we cannot forbear remark
ing that, us the Free Democrats will, as we are
at present auNlseu, ana as we WOulu recommend,
support Mr.. Meacham in the First District,
II sense of fairness and return Of courtesy, as
well as the dictates of political wisdom, would
Indicate the nomination, in the Second and
Third Districts, ola Free Democrat, and an Anti
i Nebraska Democrat. This is the way the new
party is being built up in all the other States,
and is believed to be the only way that can en-
sure its success And as the Wings have 50 far
adopted the platform Of the Free Democrats as
not to leave the matter Of principle at all in
volved among the two parties, and as the former
very generally profess to be willing to take that
course which will best unite and harmonic the
anti-slavery sentiment Of the different parties
in the State, how can this course honestly be
objected to! The Wing leaders, who seemed
rather inclined to steal the march in these mat
ters, may perhaps demur, bat that the honest
and disntcrestcd masses Of their party will COM
plain of such course, we cannot believe for
in all these suggestions, it will be borne in mind
We are but taking the Wings at their own
word

lon are aware that have already accentc,
a nomination for the same Office by a Whie
Convention Of TIL State, assembled at RUTLAND
ON the Ith day Of June last. 70 that accen
tance consider myself honor,'ly bound. Q
course, did the nomination now rendered nrl,
call upon me to repudiutc, Or even to qualf,
my concurrcncc.in the course Of political actor
set forth IN the resolutions of the Rutland Con

honor OF this second nomination. Bat. unor
examination and reelection regard the rcsolu

great questions which now agitate the nation, tc
prevent my ready acqucsccnce in these of either
Consequently, if the views thus briefly sketch

A Curious lNciDENr.-Nr. Fuddin, in his

Gus incident which occurred " icn iic was at Is

peared To b. s., The Edrop.la, rather surpris

him and found tina, he had been to a dervish who,

a few words had several times tolehrd il with

remedy than the cure, the EuIapc n desired to
see the iristrum nj by which the latter had been
effected AT the cost OF small pckech he was
aI0weI to have il for few minutes IN his pos
session After careful examination finding
nothing extraordinary in the instrument, he made
up his mind that The cure was mere trick: that
the dervish was an impsster; that the Scorpion
sting had moi . netrlled and that ais servant had
been more frightened than hurt, lie threw the
