EARLY PRIcEs.-Abraham bought piece

ANOTHER AMERICAN STATE CoNvENTIoN.-In
the Boston Bee of yesterday morning, was a call
for another State Convention of those Fremont
Americans who support the State ticket nominal
ted at Faneuil Hall. This Convention is to be
held at Worcester on the 10th inst-the day fixed
for the Peoples Convention-and the purpose is
"to take such action as may be deemed necessa-
ry with regard to a candidate for Vice President
and to complete the nomination of an electoral
ticket" The call states that Mr.. Johnston ''has
signi6ed his intention of declining the nomina.
ton - for the Vice Presidency. The Telegraph
well remarks =
cit has been understood from the begin
ming that Mr.. Johnston would withdraw
Those who know him, know very well that
his own feelings would not allow HIM to re-
main in the field as disturbance and trou-
BILE to the peoples movement against the
slavery propagandists.
The calling of this Convention, to meet at
Worcester, at the same time with the Peoples
State Convention, indicates that those who
have called it are disposed to unite with all
the Fremont men of the State on candidates
for Presidential electors. To this extent they
are now willing to have connection with the
peoples movement; and their movement to
secure union on candidates for electors will
unquestionably be met in the most unsetsh
and concilatory manner The men selected
as candidates fol electors must be reliable men,
who will command the confidence of the vo-
tiers; and, for our pait, beyond tbs we care
not who or what they are.
We are sorry that the call says nothing of
union on State ticket, and that there is no
word or sign to indicate disposition to make
the union complete. The call does not men,
ton this matter; and the Bee, instead of an
swering the question we proposed yesterday,
declares that no more conventions for State
purposes are desired We trust that the
Convention, when it assemblies, will take a
wiser and more coneiliatory view of the mat
ter
