and distust was 70 strong that the Convention broke
up without doing any thing but wrangle and quarrel
or agreeing to do any thing but to continue to disagree
An abundance Of resolutions were introduced and dis
cuased, but as every thing proposed met with spirited
opposition and hostility from some quarter or other
the assemblage adjourned in row. Truly, the VOL
fies and Muhlies exhibit fine specimen of "union
and harmony" in their efforts to provide for disrbu

give up Pennsylvania as past redemption by them
and some Of the party declare that they will not even
make an effort. They will probably be beaten by at
least 10000 votes in the fall.

Star makes the following calculation of the probable

linois, 6-42.
For White-North Carolina, IS; Georgia, IL; Ala.

So far Mr. Noah. 1t is easy enough to elect or de.

the people will vote as the calculator may desire. 1t
is q little more difficult to say how they will vote

erroneous in several particulars. In the first place,

Fourth Of July.-A great Harrison Festival was held
in Philadelphia the 4th inst at the Arcstreet The
atre. Many distinguished men from various parts Of
the country were invited, and attended, and to give
better zest to the proceedings great number Of Ia.
dies were also invited to be present. and several hun.
dreds attended. Among the toasts given were many
OF sound sentiment and pure American feeling, las
unlike those nonsensica vapid dishwaterish things
given by few "exclusves'' not a thousand miles
from South Farms. as light is from opacity We are
never in favor Of parzan celebrations on this glorious
anniversary; more especially do we dislike them in
small places, where all ought to unite band Of pat
riots; but in large cities, it is little more excusable
where all cannot conveniently unite in one place
We annex few Of the toasts given on the occasion
at Philadelphia, promising that there were upwards Of
500 gentlemen present at the dinner to respond TO the
sentiments:

statesmen continue to cherish the Republican princ-

their country"
