The Charleston Mercury, of the 10th ustant, intimates its confidence that the -apidly increasing popularity of Mr. Cal Itsun will supersede the necessity of a Na ional Couvention to nominate him for the Presidenacy.

Take your time Miss Lucy, and cook the liap. **Too early" would se before the right time, which will be af er a period which would be the wrong one from being too soon.
