THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES SCENE

THE CONVENTION--CLOS SCENE.
AS soon as the vote for The adjournment OF
the Convention had passed, Mr.. McGinniss, one
of the delegates from Missouri took the chair just
vacated by the President, and addressed the Con-
| vention as follows:
:" have sought at various times to address the
Convention for the purpose of expressing my
opinion upon the course it has adopted-but |
have been rudey and uncivilly denied the exercise
OF my rights one of it's members. have, there.

party-a fraud upon the country. go against

the subject here, but the people will see it, and
treat it as it deserves to be treated"
Mr.. McGinniss is, we understand, one Of the
Locofoco Electoral candidates of the State of Mis-
souri,, and a man of great influence in that State,
among the party, as his selection delegate to
the Convention and as an Eelector for President

WING PROSPECTS.

Tbe editor of Benefits Herald is shrewd
man and, although his character is not alloge-
Their unmpeachabe, his opinions are frequently
distinguished for great sagacity. He thinks the
tide of public opinion is setting very strongly In
favor of Mr.. Clay. Mr.. Benefits conjectures and
calculations are to stand upon their intrinsic COR
rectness, disconnected from his own personal
character which we are far from endorsing.
From the New York Herald.
On looking back for few years, it will be re-
collected that, during the Presidency of James
Monroe, the old landmarks and divisions which
separated parties were removed and broken down
by the number of candidates who entered into the
field in the contest that succeeded him. The old
Jefferson dynasty was broken to pieces. and for
brief space of time there was, what was styled an
era OF good feeling. until the election Of Mr.. A.
dams by the House Of Representatives caused a
coalition of the old opposing elements, and the re-
organization of another party which may be call
ed the "Old Hickory Dynasty" After number
of inconclusive struggles, during the period be-
tween the years 1920 and 1928, General Jackson
was elected against all opposition the Democra-
tic party, of modern quality, revived under the
genial influence of his popularity, and new men,
new measures, new principles, and new purposes,
began gradually to prevail introducing an era
very different from that OF the old Jefferson dy-
nasty. From the accession Of Jackson up to the
present day, the country has been torn, and dis
traced, and convulscd, year aft er year, by strug
giles, chiefly about internal affairs The ques-
tons involved in all these struggles were--a ma
tional bank, internal improvements by the Gene
raj Government, distribution of the land revenues,
protective tariff, single term for the Presiden-
cy, and various minor matters and measures not
of MUCH account. From 1928 till lS44-a period
of sixteen years--all these measures and princi-
Piles have agitated the country, and we are now
on the verge of new election, which we have
every reason to believe will be determined in ia
vor of Mr.. Clay, and the measures he represents
In order to show at one glance the history o.
these years, and to present the naked staiemen,
of facts on which we have formed the conclusion
just stated, we annex the following table, which
exhibits the results of the elections during the
periods referred to-:

CARNATIONS of the lovers as they fell into
each others arms; for it was the Numidian
hunter, now risen TO high rank, who had
thus OPPORTUNITY arrived to rescue his mis-
tress.
Language would be too weak to describe
that meeting. In haste the lover ordered
the chariot to be brought to Julia, and by
his commands she was conveyed to the
house of the pretor, whose wife took charge
of the orphan girl. The intelligence Of
Diocletan's death spread with inconceiyable
rapidity and those who we're favorable TO
the Christians, now spoke boldly out. The
great mass Of the influential citizens, as
usual, sided with the new order of things
The tide of opinion turned. And the mob
finding their ascendency over, sulenly sub
mitted, like wild beasts confined to the
limits of their cage and restrained from
harm.
The young officer himself soon became
Christian, his conversion TO that faith be-
ing doubtless attributable to the example
and arguments of Julia.
On the pleasant shores Of the Numidian
bay, stand the ruins of once splendid pal
ace. Tradition says that there lived the
Christian maiden aud her puissant husband,
the hero and the heroine of our story.

Thomas Loring, ESQ.,, for many years the

up the Clay and FreIinghuysen flag. Itwould
give us pleasure to publish the whole article an
nouncng this change of views, but must con-
tent ourselves with the following pregnant par
ograph:

in Baltimore, has developed incidents and char
acters that demand the attention and scrutiny
OF every friend of freedom. Here we beheld
Bank and anti Bank men; Unionists and Dis

We will neither submit, nor be cravenly silent.
And while we tender our heartfelt thanks and
express our warmest regards to the many pure
and honest men of the democratic party with
whom we have associated and from whom we
have received many kindnesses, we utterly re-
pudate and denounce the course Of the leaders
who hold the destiny Of the party under theiI
control. From the triumph of this combna-
| ton of selfiShness, demagog uesm and dsorgan.
zation, our country has nothing of good tc
hope, but every thing Of evil to fear; and we
believe that consistent regard for the purity
of republican principles, will be best promoted
in the support of Wing Candidates for the
prominent Offices now about TO become vacant
We shall, therefore, in our next number
place the names of Graham, and Clay, anC

columns, and endeavor to show that the safety
and prosperity of the country require thei

An important act, not perhaps much known
to the public is that concerning the Supreme
Court, which passed both houses without seri-
Gus objection, If not, as | believe, unanimous
ly. BY this act the Supreme Court is to begin
its annual session at Washington early IN De-
cember. II formerly opened about the middle
of February; for the last few years in January.
Hereafter it will sit December, January, Feb
ruary and probably March. At the last ses-
sion, of so cases but % were disposed of, such
accum ulaton would soon be denial of justice.
To enable the Judges to sit so long here or APP
peals, they are hencelorih to hold but one Cir.
cult Court year, instead of two; the District
Judges to hold the other Circuit Court. This
is an important organic act.

MARKED CARDs.-We saw it stated the
other day that Mr. ]. II. Green, reform
ed gambler, in a lecture delivered at st.
Louis, had announced that he could detect
the suit and number of each card in pack
perfectly newly marks upon the back made
in manufacturing them. His skill has been
tested by experiment, and the editor Of the
St. Louis Organ, who was one of the COM
mittee appointed to put him to the proof,
says that out of five different packs, in two
or three he told every card-in the other
packs the greater number. These marks
are perfectly clear when pointed out by him,
although they are so small and so cunningly
concealed that no one could discover them,
but makers of cards and gamblers. He al
so showed many tricks and receptions which
are practiced by gamblers.
Mr. Green states that all makers of cards
have their private marks, which are studied
by protested gamesters. He himself has
manufactured cards, and he knows the trick
cry of the business.
