From the National Journal.

It was the cry of the Opposition from the
time the Harrisburg Convention was frs'
thought Of, until the hour they came together
that il was to be an Administration meeting
for political purposes in disguise. Has this
been the case? Can any one say that the oh
iects of this Conyehlion-the avowed Objects
have been forgotten? We think not The
me mbers came from'a wide extended country
embracing numerous soils and different eli
mates, to compare notes upon the great ques-
ton OF manufacturing interests, and in this all
other subjects were lost. They body,
without any sparasement 10 any other body
polite in our country, that contained more
practical knowledge OF commerce and manu-
factures, than any which nls been assembled
since thc establishment Of our Constitution
They came for specific purpose, and nothing
more There was no opportunity for display
or political intrigue, if there had been a dispo-
sition for either, in FIVE days busiIy employed
IN the objects of their mission. We have often
said il, and we again repeat il, that in order TO
procure harmony, confidence, and unity Of pnr-
pose, for the best interests of our country, a
mong the leading minds of it, we have only to
bring these minds in contact and communion
as often as possible. Half the errors of esisla>

lecture supply the place of facts, and wild in

the premises. 1t is more readily, by such con-
ventions, that true and full statements OF facts
are obtained than by any other means, FOR par
~ politics sometime give shape and form to
statements, as well as coiourlng to facts. These
conventions eannoshide or disguise the truth,
having no object but its development. The adj
dress from ,his Convention is looked for with
no small degree Of interest. It's in able hands
and the public will soon have the benefit Oft.
The advocates Of General Jackson have, like
himself, modes of expounding law, SO much &C

hardly can put on serious face III answering

ALLEY NDRYAs
FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 10, 1927.

A letter from Carthagena, dated the 18th oil
July, to gentleman in New York, states that
Bolivar was to depart for Bogota on the 18th
or 10th, with a regimen, Of TSadores, about
1900 strong. For these troops he is. said to
have great prediction, as he has for all for
eign troops. The Tiradores have often dis
,inguished themselves; and i is related that in
one o. Bolivar's battles, he called TO his own
naive soldiers to see and admire the gallant
conduct OF those brave foreigners. The whole
number Of troops in the place, including those
in the garrisons, was only $500. The British
frigate Druid was to sail in four days for Jamai-
CT, and the British minister, Mr.. Coburn, was
10 embark 10 her on his return 10 England.
The latest accounts from Bogoia, say that
Bolivar has again been elected President OF CO.
lonr5is, by vote Of so 10 24.'
We observe by The Philadelphia and n. York
papers, that many deaths have lately occurred
in those cities, oy the impradent use OF cold
water. On Monday lasi five cases wese anthem
iicatcd in Philadelphia.
