The Grasuhopper Falls Convention,

The entire proceedings Of the Con-
vention will be found in-anothSr col

resolved TO participate in the October
election. This decision was so unan-
imous that it is said but two votes
were opposedto it. We are happy
to learn. that the convention" was so
harmonious and that SO much una
nimity existed between its members.
That the entire Free State party will
heartily, 'cheerfully and enthusiast
cally ratify their proceedings, wa
have no doubt. A convention of the
wisest heads of our party have met,
and after exchange of sentiment and
due deliberationr and consultation,
have decided that it is expedient for
the Free State party to meet the Bor-
der RufianS at the polls according to
their dictations. Under such circum.
stances we have no desire to question
their wisdom or discretion.
1t tisgcnerally admitted that their
selection of Delegate for Congress-
MARCUS j. PARRorr--is the most
'talentsd man and the ablest and most
eloquent orator of the Free State
party. Hemust6c elected : This elsc-

ought to warn us to save ourselves
