 TIE CoNvENrIoNs-Next month is the time when usual conventions for putting in nomination can- didaes to be supported the April election to be held. 1t is important that these should be we'll at- tended, that impulse may then be given popular opinion which may carry US safely through the cam- paign. No man who has watched the "signs of the tmes with any degree of interest for the last six months doubt that the locofocos of this State are determined upon making desperate effort to regain their long-ost power. They see the divisions which have been made in our ranks by the decease of the lamented HARRISON and the accession to the Presi- dency of Mr. TYLER, and are determined to take ad- vantage of them for overthrow.

Let every gen. uine whig-let every patriotic spirit answer-No?- Gird on your armor, then, in season-determne that victory shall again be yours-and it will be.
