minated by the Freesoil Know-nothings as their
candidate for the Tice-Presidency, has withdrawn
in favour of Mr. Dayton. This unites the whole
Freesoil strength proper in the support of Fremont
and Dayton. The withdrawal of Mr. Johnston
has been anticipated for some time. An attempt
has been made in Maryland to organise a Fremont
party and nominate an electoral ticket, but it was
met by a riot, and broken up by violence.
The Republicans open their autumn "campaign"
(as it is called) by a convention to-morrow for se-
lecting their candidate for Governor. It is impor-
tant only as affecting the local politics of the States.
The New Jersey Republicans also meet in conven-
tion to-morrow to select their candidates for
presidential electors. This is an important conven-
tion, as New Jersey is one of the doubtful Northern
States, and its vote may be determined by the
action of this convention. The probability is that
some gentlemen will be selected who have been
hitherto inclined towards Mr. Fillmore, but have
now determined to support Mr. Fremont. This
will be done in the hope of inducing other friends
of Mr. Fillmore to follow so conspicuous examples.
If the Fillmore vote can be gained to Fremont, the
State will be put beyond doubt. All parties, how-
ever, are spending their strength in Pennsylvania,
which is felt to be the real battle-ground. If that
can be carried for Fremont, there is a feeling that
all will be safe for him. Neither party spares
exertion. Mass meetings are held in all parts of
the State, and all the most available stump orators
are imported in, with appointments made for them
weeks ahead. The election for State officers takes
place early in October, and will tell the story for
the Presidential election, in the following month.

Herald furnishes that jonrnal with a copy of the
treaty said to be negotiated in London between the
British Government and the republic of Honduras.
The Vigilance Committee of San Francisco has
at length ceased to exist, and power is restored to
the hands of the constituted authorities. Judge
Terry, the offending justice of the Supreme Court,
who offended the committee by resisting their offi-
cer and stabbing him in the street, has been dis-
charged, with a recommendation to resign, which
the committee reserve to themselves no power to
enforce. The closing scenes of the drama were
worthy to keep company with those that had gone
before. The scenic effect of no modern opera was
ever calculated with more skill or better judgment.
6,000 or 10,000 men paraded under arms, bearing
the colours and badges of the committee; to escort
them from public back to private life, with a de-
monstration that should insure their safety here-
after.

The complication of affairs in Kansas has been
partially unravelled by the release of the State pri-
soners on bail, as we learn by telegraph. There
appears as yet, however, to be no disposition on
either side to relinquish arms and settle down to
peace. The Free-State men feel that they have
been cheated and wronged by the Missourians,
backed by the Administration, and do not seem
disposed to lay down their arms. They have built
a fort at Laurence said to be capable of holding
1,000 men.

"TO THE RIGHT HON. AND RIGHT RED. CHARLES JAMES,

SPORTING NOTES.

NOTIONS ABOUT NEWMARKET.

The autumn campaign at head-quarters will commence
on Tuesday with a satisfactory plan of operations. The
programme is strong in its "Triennial " attractions, and
certain inclosed stakes will doubtless obtain large en-
tries. In addition to the races for two and three-years-
old the list of sport comprises the Eastern Counties Han-
dicap and " The Cup," and altogether the three days'
proceedings will be interesting enough. Opportunities,
too, will be afforded for certain " early birds " in their
"matutinal visits" to the exercise ground to pick up
the worm of information in connection with the two
great coming events—the Cesarewitch and Cambridge-
shire.

The establishment of the Eastern Counties Handicap
has contributed an important item of sport to the pro-
gramme. The Poacher has been almost the only animal
in demand, and, judging from the spirit with which he
is supported, both for this event and the Cambridgeshire,
he cannot be the " bottled up" animal which his oppo-
nents suppose. Still, I do not find anything in the
Poacher's "antecedents " to induce me to place implicit
confidence in his chance. It has been said with truth
that the only sueceis which he achieved this year was
over a three-years-old, who received only ilbs, and who
ran home on three legs, and a swinger. They wh saw
New Brighton run at Doncaster on the Friday were con-
vinced that he was there beaten only by being "can-
noned " against. The course at Newmarket will be well
suited to him, and I think that his performance for the
Stewards' Plate at Goodwood is alone sufficient to en-
title him to attention for this event. Of the three-
vaar-olds my fancy points to Olympus and Eloquence.
The former has been knocked about of late, and is now
doubtless somewhat stale. Still, should he go to the post,
I shall not slightingly regard his chance. I shall not
occupy space by a useless discussion of the merits of
each animal likely to go to the post. The three who
are, in my opinion, likely to occupy the foremost places
are New Brighton, Olympus, and Sneer gelding, and
my estimate of their chances are in accordance with the
order in which I have set down their names.

Both Ayacanora and Limbourn have incurred a 6lbs.
penalty for the Hopeful Stakes. They are not likely to
meet an animal of very formidable pretensions, and they
may run first and second. My preference is for Lam-
bourn.

Walmer will win the Grand Duke Michael Stakes.

In addition to her engagement for the Hopeful Stakes,
Ayacanora is also nominated for the Triennial Stakes for
two-yr olds, for which her most formidable opponent
will perhaps be the Chevalier d'lndustrie.
John Scott's Derby horses are, it is said, not likely to
go to Newmarket.
Should Melissa be allowed to run for the Triennial
Stakes far three-yr-olds she will of course win ; and,
should no obstacle be offered to bis starting, the Cle-
mentina gelding will carry oif the Triennial Stakes for
four-yr•olds. The St. Leger I assign to Omer Paella.
Turbit may win the Rutland Stakes.
Races at Monmouth, Chesterfield, and Northallerten
will keep " provincial turfites" fully employed. I will
endeavour briefly to determine the probabilities. M.D.
and Sulpitia are perhaps the most attractive names
amongst the entries for the Revival Plate. Pantomime
and Fanny Grey are entitled to notice for the Chatsworth
Plate. For the Chesterfield Plate, Yorkshire Grey is
my fancy. The Monmouth Meeting I shall not touch
upon. I will send my notes on Northallerton from New-
market for publication on Wednesday.
