CouNrY CONVENTION AT KNEES, LAST EVENING
Quite large and enthusiastic meeting was held
last evening at Brooklyn, on the corner of Jay
and Concord streets. So mild was the weether,
thata PLATFORM decorated and festooned with Amer
lean flags was erected in the street. The meeting
was organized by the appointment Of Edmund
Sprague, late mayor of Brooklyn, president. Some
dissatisfaction expressed with the nominations
for secretaries but everything was finally settled.
Mr.. Sprague spoke briefly, only adverting to his
happiness in meeting them, nfter having himself
labored for fifty years in the democratic vineyard
If union was preserved among them, nothing could
prevent them from achieving at the polls decided
victory. Mr.. VIM. M. Odell then presented the
report Of the senatorial convention. The name Of
Edward Sanford was received with the greatest en-
ihusiasm--lhree times three cheers having been
given for it. Mr.. Odell presented the names of the
assemblymen, both of which met with hearty re-
sponses. Mr.. Campbell having been called for,
spoke at some length the present relative pros
the wings as dangerous; still less so the natives,
who were now but the shadow Of their former
name. He spoke in high terms Of the nominees,
both for senators and assemblymen. Mr.. San
ford, he said, had done good service in the demo-
cratic cause in Brooklyn when boy. He exhort-
ed his fellow-citizens to union, and then all was
right. Captain Hubbs was then introduced to the
meeting and offered series Of resolutions relative
to the Naval Bureau Of Construction. He shortly
after offered resolution to insert the same in the
New York Daily Globe, together with the pro.
ceedngs Of the meeting and also in the Brooklyn
Eagle and Washington "Union." Another resolu
ton was passed. approving of the course of the
Washington "Unon,'' and the meeting adjourned
with three cheers. The proceedings will appeal
officially in our paper tomorrow.

The ScHuYLKILL COAL REGIoN.-That part OF
Pennsylvania, known as the Schuylkil Coal Region,
is almost daily increasing in importance, and will,
at no distant period (aboundng it does in all the
necessary materially become the great centre ofcoal
and iron operations in this country. 1t has already
in few years, become thriving and populous
district, and in no section American energy and
enterprise strikingy manifest. The Pottsriiie
Emporium says, improvement seems to be the order
of the d6yy not only in Pottsville but throughout
the entire afrcgon. All is life, hustle, and activ-
ity. The Valley Railroad Company have their
road under contract to- within two miles of Tamaqua,
and the contractors pushing the work with encr-
gy. The Schuylkill Navigation Company are per.
severing with commendabe energy, in the widen
ing of their canal. B. M. Lewis, esq, nhe efficient
and ndcfatgable superintendent of the Stahuylkill
Haven and Mine Hill Railroad, is pushing 70, an
early completion the connecting link between thee
West Branch and Swatara Railroads. In PottsvilIe
there is an unusual demand for business stands
There are four firms from New York at this mo-
ment anxiously seeking eligible business stands
one of which is intended as a wholesale concern
The Reading Railroad Company are greatly diff
cient in railroad cars, to accommodate the increased
and increasing coal business and are consequently
we are informed, building two thousand additional
iron cars. Lumber is high and scarce Butter,
meat, and indeed all kinds Of marketing, command
high prices. Minersville, only four miles from
Pottsvile, is thriving business place. The foundry
and machine shop Of the Messrs Dehaven is one Of
the most extensive in the coal region. II employs
about seventy-fve hands, and turns out frstrate
work. These enterprising men, with no capital
but their integrity, energy, and industry, common
ced the blacksmithing about eight years since at
Minersvile, and have now, by dint Of promptitude
and attention to business built up an establishment
that will compare with any similar one in the State
Pennsylua nian.

NATIVE AmERIc ANIsM.--Some wing papers have,
from time to time, denied that the native American
party was mostly composed of wings, notwithstand-
ing the efforts Of Mr.. Archer, of Virginia, "a wing
senator,) and others of the party, to form third
party, which would exclude from all Offices the
adopted citizen, chcrishng the most patriotic devo-
ton for those institutions, which Pulaski, JAS
per, a Lafayette, a DeKab, and other gallant for.
eieners, fought or bed to achieve.
The following sentiments of wing press in Mr..
Claws native State, whose editor gives IL as the
whie leaders opinion, that that party its de-
feat last November to the Suicidal" movement on
their part confirms all that we have commended for
The admission also conveys an exiorted compt
ment to those adopted citizens who were wise
enough to discover who were their real friends and
who their enemies, in extending TO them the privi
leges secured to them on the blood-stained fields o.
Savannah, Sullivans Island, Yorktown, Kings
Mountain, and other glorious scenes, whereof ma
tive and adopted sons struggled in common cause
[Sapanah Georgian.
OPINION OF Ma. CLAY.-The Louisville Journal
speaking of Mr.. Clny's opinion, says:
awe carefully weigh our words when we assert
as we now do that he regards the formation of Z
third party upon the 'one idea of native American
ism as i-iudged, mischievous, and suicidal. He
does not believe that the abolition party, the anti
masonic party, the native American party, or any
other party founded on single idea, can ever &C,
complsh any good for the country. We may add
that he is fully Of opinion that, bm for The naiip'
american mopsmsni he ,ohigs couid hars been rietc

Erom the Louisville pemocrnt. Oct d

FROM tne LOUISVILLE democrat, Oct w.
We commend the following extract from the eulo-
gy of Robert Dale Owen, on the death of General
jackson, delivered at Terre Haute, Sept. 20, 1845,
TO the tender sensibililies of the "Journan and its
nd coates. There is time (says Mr.. Theirs in
the fourth part Of his history Of Napoleon,) when
mankind, from mere exhaustion, if not from sense
Of justice, cease the bitterness of their volcanic
strife, and turn to kinder sentiments-to truth and
integrity. Mr.. Owen may well look for this era; for,
if the bitterness of party strife, the undisgused
madness Of caumny, assailed man, he has been the
target for its poisoned arrows. Mild in discussion,
kindly in intercourse, devoted to the duties of life
and friendship, he has uniformly based his political
action upon principles, and his personal conduct
upon integrity. How few of his calumniators can
make the same boast
GAS ancient mythologists tabled two loves--one Of
heavenly origin, gentle, ingenious, exalted the
other born of Night and Of Erebus violent riotous
and debauched-so, among US, are there two spirits
ofparty-the one, generous, nobly emulous, public
spirited, ever ready to do battle for the right YET
scorning false words and base means; the other
miserable and vile, living for SELF working for lu.
are, stone-blind to the brightest excellence in an
opponent envious, icentious-a creature that preys
on garbage, and battens on the graves Of the
lead
~ know not il there be, in our free and happy
country, one vice that more stains its freedom, one
that more mars its happiness, than the sway of this
foul and bastard spirit. We have seen it stalk un.
shamed, over the land, raising lis brazen front in
city and hamlet; waking up, for its own sinister
ends passion, prejudice, hatred, revenge; cherished
by the bad because by its aid they rise; creeping
into the hearts Of the good, and marring there
Gods noblest work, the kindness and mercy and
truth and upright thought that make the homes
man.
"There was noble conquest achieved over error
when that one, of human rights the hottest, firm ally
Of truth, fallen herald of Improvement, even thu
rightof FREE SPEECH, was guaranteed TO the free
over ourselves! We have snatchcd from tyranny
the censorship Of the press; let us ntrust it to chair
