A, THE STATE CONVENTION. We ere informed that a misapprehension pre vails, respecting the Convention. which is to a»- semhle on the 100> December.

The North will never do but one thingat a time. They will do nothing which of itself, would be so attractive of nnr rights, but that some would say was not sufficient to justify resistance.
