SUAVE AND FREE STATES.

Modern Democracy requires but FORTY THOUSAND inhabitants to make a Slave State, but it takes NINETY-THREE THOUSAND to make a Free State; ergo, one Pro-slavery man is as good as two FreeState men a id one third!

It is also important that a day should he set for holding the Convention to nominate % candidate for Btate Representative in the District composed of Jasper and Pulaski. The Congressional Convention is to be held at Plymouth oh the 29th ult., and it is now full time that the delegates should be appointed
