MIR. Stephens, in his late speech in Georgia speaks
of the present " calm" upon the Slavery question.

Joseph Miller Of Hendricks County presided at the
Nominating Convention, aud addresses were made by

The Democratic State Committee of Msssschu-
setts have postponed the time of holding the State
Convention from the 9Th to the 18th Of September, on
account Of the State Encampment, which takes plsce
on the 7tb and which would make serlous draft upon
the already fearfuy sttenuated ranks Of the Denoo

There are now three candidates in the fed-Slr.
Crawford for the Democracy, Mr.. Douglas for the

can Convection was held in Wheeling this party was
far wesker in the Panhandle than it is now. Then,
The ItrelIigencer had just been purchased by its
present owners and commenced its insinustng, pre-
t.ndedly moderate but ever advancing, dissemination
Of Free-So doctrines. Now, three papers out OF the
five printed in that section with II in sentiment.

and puere. Now, it controls, at least, the Opposi
ton party in that vicinity. We regret, we repeat,
that Free-Soilsm is growiDg-gettng to be respecta
