We are compelled to postpone till our next
the proceedings of the Democratic State Con
vention —Charles G. Greene, Esq., of Boston,
President. Gen. Caleb Cushing was nomina
ted as the democratic candidate for Governor.
Messrs. Chester A\ . Chapin and Benjamin
i. Bartlett, were appointed delegates at large
to the Democratic National Convention of 1848.
A series of important resolutions were adop
ted.
Mr. Amasa Walker, of North Bookfield,
submitted the following resolution :
Resolved , That the principles of a sound and
consistent democracy demand of the demo
cratic party a tinn and unwavering resistance
to any further extension of slavery in the ter
ritory hereafter acquired by the United States.
After a motion had been made to lay the
resolution on the table, it was voted to allow
Mr. Walker to address the convention in sup
port of it.
It was then voted to allow Mr. Ilallett, of
Boston, to speak to the resolution; and after
he had made a few remarks to the effect that it
will be time enough to consider the subject
when additional territory shall have been ac
quired, the motion to lay the resolution on the
table was decided in the affirmative. — Wash

DIED,
At the residence of his falaer, in Warrenton, Ga.,
on the 25th inst., of Pulmonary Consumption, Dr.
Owks O. Mookk, late of Jefferson county, in the
26fh year of his age.
Seldom has our community been more deeply
afflicted, than in the death of this promising young
man. His pleasing manners, tine accomplishments i
and brilliant intellect, had already secured for him j
a standing in his profession that few attain, ami s
would have soon placed him among its most distin
guished members; but, alas!
* The spoiler came, and all his promise fair
Has sought the grave, to sleep forever there.”
In this bereavement, his relatives and frie da
have yet the consolation to feel, that by a timely
'preparation for death, be disarmed him of all his
terrors. B.

Aaw-ajta Market, Sept. 29.
’COP EON.— We have another dull week to re
port -in ll»c Cotton market, so few buyers making
th> ir appearance that holders have been reluctant
in showing their samples. We have to report a
further decline in prices this week, and the gen
eral opinion seems to be that the better qualities
have given way about £ cent, and the lower | a® ct
Little or no difference is made between old and
new Cotton so far as prices are concerned. The
receipts of new Cotton are light, and about half of
that received has been sold in the street from
wagons at prices ranging from 10 to 11 1 cents—
principally at 10g a 11—the remainder has gone
into store. Os old and new Cotton the sales of the
■week s«as up only about 600 bales, within the
range of quotations. For the past two weeks the
weather has been favorable not only for the ma
turing of the crop, but for picking it out, and plant
ers taking advantage of it, will no doubt account for
the light receipts of the new crop. \Ye alter quo

GROCERIES.—Our merchants have been do
ing a fine business this week, and several have
stated to us that they have sold hills to merchants
in the interior who are on their return from visit

looks like old times, and we can assure our friends
that there never were better stocks held in this
market at this season of the year, than at the pre
sent moment, and every day is adding to it.
