The Free Democratic State Committee have
scanned call for State Convention in this
c;ty. ON Wednesday, the Slst inst, for the
,orpose of taking immediate and earnest ac-
hon against the contemplated extension of
.,svery. in Kansas and Nebraska, and for the
nurpose of arousing and concentrating the
ynblic sentiment of the people of this State,
= on,os;tion to the schemes Of the slave pow
- and its Northern allies. The proposed
Convention is by no means intended as SUBJ
s,itute for the regular fall Convention of the
rsrtv and the nomination of candidates for
Stare officers will not be part Of its business.
Other. but no less important matters, Will be
considered, having reference to the great and
ali absorbing topics of the day, and we trust
that there will be such a gathering of the
masses of Freedom loving men, in the old
Bay State, as viii give to the friends of Lib
erty the fullest assurance, that, whatever
course others may take in the present crisis,
the Free Democracy of Old Massachusetts are
still determined to be foremost in the fight for
Freedom, Progress, and Humanity. Let the
Free Democracy, in every town in the State,
commence arrangements forthwith, in order
that full delegations may be present.

uAeEthMK On bnu S0AAAAAAOme
About half past II A. NJ, Dexter F. Par
ker, and 800 or 400 persons, repaired to the
hastings on the Common, when Mr.. p. ad-
dressed the meeting. He stated that it was
at first contemplated, by the friends of Mr..
Orr, to appeal from the decision of the Police
Court. but the gentlemen who had promised
to be his bonds were not at hand, and it was
necessary to delay some time in order to find
them. Mr.. Orr stated that he had an engage
ment to be at Springfield to-day, and was
anxious to fulfil it; ami he would prefer the
course which would admit of his immediate
release. Under these circumstances, the fine
was paid. Mr.. Orr, however, had declared,
that if his friends wished him to speak on the
Common, he would do 40. Mr.. Parker sta
ted that he had exerted himself in the cause
of free speech, and hoped that he had not
only gained the commentators, but the res
pect of his audience. He hoped they would
stand by and sustain their friends who were
arrested. He counseled peace during this
momentous crisis, but urged that the necks of
the City government be broken next Novem-
Der at the ballot box. With three cheers for
"Gabriel," and three groans, given with tre-
mendous emphasis by only one individual, for
the Mayor, the meeting dissolved.

The CoNNEcrIcUT RIVER SHAD F1sHERY.-
The shad-catching season is at its height in
the Connecticut river, and unprecedented for
tune is attending the fishermen at the head of
shad navigation under the dam at Holyoke.-
The fishing commenced there last week, on
Thursday, but no great success was had until
Saturday, when 200 shad were taken at one
haul. But The first haul of the net oil Mon
day brought in 7l2, which is a greater mum
Der than was ever known to be caught at once
before. A second haul produced nearly as
many more, and at 3 o'clock P. NJ, over 1000
shad had been caught at that point on that
day. At the fishing place in Springfield,
about 600 were taken on Saturday, and l5o
on Monday. They were sold on Monday at
dolyoke, at $3.50 per hundred. The high
water has favored the gathering of shad at
Holyoke; beyond that point, on account Of
the dam, they cannot ascend.
