The official prooeedings of this important gatliering of Freemon will soon be out in print, and we sh all give them to readers as early as possible. The Conveution has done much to slrengihen the Liberty cause. By a large majority it has re-affirmed the one-idea of the Liberty party, and that too after an oble andas thorough a discussion a the time would allow of, and the discussion will have the effect to settle the party more firmly than ever upon this foundation. It has selected as its standard-bearer, n man who seems providentially raised up for this purpose, and who em'oodies in i himself traits of chnracter, and furnishes guaranties adapted to the crisis and the work of overthrowing American despoti?m. Notwithstanding we have other worthy men who would grace the presideníial chair, still John P. Hale was the first choice of by far the greatest propor tion of the Convvention. Having thus anew defiued onr purpose and by singular unanimity fixed upon him as our candidate, we go into the canvass strong and under circumstances in which abor will teil potently for the right. The Convention was looked to by many with feaiful forebodings, but results have proved far more wise and harmonious than was anticipated. We are encouraged to go forward, and we beüeve a National Liberty Convention never dissolved under more favorable and hopeful circumstances. -
