Mr. Calhoun in the Field.—A great mass convention of the Locofocos of North Carolina was held at Salisbury, Rowan Co. on the 19th and 20th—the number in attendance is estimated at three or four thousand. Hon. Charles Fisher, late M. C. called to order, and nominated for President Hon. Henry W. Connor, long Member of Congress from the Lincoln District. Addresses were made by ex U. S. Senators Bedford Brown and Robert Strange, Burton Craige, &c, Crooke of S. C. and many others. Letters of sympathy from Messrs. Calhoun, McDuffie, Buchanan, Wright, Woodbury and ex. Gov. Polk. It was a grand gathering. In closing its account of it, the Charlotte [N. C.] Jeffersonian [Loco] remarks:

"No expression of opinion was made by the Convention on the subject of the Presidency; though we were gratified to find that numerous and respectable body, coming together from all parts of the State, almost unanimous in favor of Mr. Calhoun, the great champion of the Constitution and Equal Rights. It was thought premature to make a nomination for the Presidency at this time. One thing is certain, however, [as shown by the feelings of this Convention,] that Mr. Calhoun is the almost unanimous choice of the Democracy of our State for President. About this there can be no mistake. We shall have more to say on this subject shortly."
