The convention was called to order by the Hon.
JOHN VAwTER. President pro tenn; Mr.. 6. Montgom-
cry, ESQ.,. acting as Secretary, pro fem.
Mr.. Holloway moved that all the wings present
from different parts of the State, whether regularly ap-
pointed delegates or not, be INVITED to come within the
bar and participate in the proceedings ofthe Conven-
ton, which carried.
The names OF the counties were then called over
and their delegates answered,
Here follows a list Of upwards of four hundred del
egates from ~sixty-six c~ounties.)
Judge Porter offered the following resolution which
was adopted:
Resolred, That a Committed composed of one men,
Der from each Congressional District be appointed to

Mr., Robinson said he offered this resolution to give

and entertaining speech, which was received with
rapturous applause.

JUVENILE WIT.IOur usually sedate friend of the
N. o. Commercial Times, tells a good story of a Ii. tie
boy in that city, who, in forcing a nail through a
board with a hammer, drove it into his mothers card
case, which another urrhin had left on the floor. Be-
ing well scolded for it, he achly looked up and said.
--"Mother, twas Bobs fault, and no blame ought 10
be attached to the driver"
PICKLES AND CIDER.-Old or new, the following an
ecdote is quite too good to be lost:
A pumpkin once dining with the governor of
Rhode Island, where part of the entertainment con-
sisted of campaigne and preserved olives, was asked
at the conclusion, by the host how he liked his din
ner; replied
wall, Guv'ner, your elders very good, but darn
your pickles"
PoINr OF ORDER.-In the New York Legislature,
a member paused in the midst of a remarkable windy
speech, to take a drink of water. Another member
named Bloss, rose to a point of order. Every body
started, wondering what the point of order was.
"What is itg" said the speaker.
II think, sir, continued Bloss, Iii out of order

A RUSSIAN CRoEsUs.--M. de Tiszkiewies,
the richest landholder in Russian Lithuania,
died a short time since. The st. Petersburgh
papers informs us, that he has left to his three
sons 1000 serfs; and in ready money, 10000
600 crowns; and that it was hisgentleman who
was said to have refused the hand of his daugh-
ter to Duke Alexander of Wirtemberg, who al
forwards married the Princess Maria d0rleans.
His daughter since married Prince Sapicha, and
had 1000, 900 crowns for her dowry. A letter
from st. Petersburgh, says:-''This gentlemen's
property comprised f~orty-six extensive domains
on which there are 20, 600 families of peasantry.
reckoning in them 10000 males. In money,
he possessed Sc, 900 900 Polish forms. Hehad
six children, of whom three sons besides his
daughter, survive him. The eldest, according
to the laws of Lithunia, inherits the whole Of
this wealth. He, however. assigned one-fourth
to be equally divided between his two broth
ers."

A QUESTION WITHOUT AN AEswER.-Senator
Dickinson, in his speech advocating his own
resolutions and the "fannexation ofall Mexico, !"
which he considers a thing o ffate, declared, as
an evidence of the 'inevitable destiny of the
matter" that chad we never gone to wal, Mex
leo would have become a portion of the great
empire we have founded.
Why. then, did Wa go to war with herr
asks the Philadelphia North American-The
very lunatic could see the absurdity of men GO
ing to war to kill their enemies-s'if you leave
them alone they viii die of themselves" Why
did not Mr.. Dickinson, having this assurance
on his mind, vote against the war, and SO save
us a great many millions Of dollars, as well a
a great many thousands of lives, that we hav'
thrown away TO gain a prize which we Nigh
have had for nothing? Oh for a new lunatic t
discourse a little more madness that has meth
cd in il, to certain grave legislators of Con
gress!

IMPROVEMENT IN THE ELEGRAPH.-Dr. Roe,
of Illinois, has gone TO Washington with the
model of an invention which he calls the Tel
egraph Manipulation. Dispatches, messages
or large documents are set up in electrical
types, locked in a chase in manner similar to
printing types. and the form placed upon the
machine. DR.. Roe is sanguine in the belief

as speed. a proofs taken from the types, in The

The Courier Francois, published in the city
Of Mexico, compares the American and Mex
lean armies together, and deduces from the
comparison a reason of the greatest superiority
of the former. Ii says:
"The American soldier, foil of ardent cour-
age, marches boldly up to danger; but this is a
quality so ordinary, SO true, with the soldier
who comprehends all the dignity of the title
that we only mention it By way of contrast
What makes the real strength of the army Of
the United States, which would otherwise be
individually destroyed, is the corps of excellent
officers at the head of these assenblages ofarrn
ed men; those old generals, far-seeing, brave
skilful tacticians, wise administrators, who
command them. When such troops shall have
been vanquished, they will not say. they can,
notsay, there was treason committed by thi;
or that officer. cowardice by this or that regi
ment; they will know how TO retrieve a par
tialdiscomfture, or they will die in the at
tempt.

LATER FROM MExIco.-The steamer Virgin
ginia arrived al New Orleans, on the 18th inst.
from Vera Cruz. with dates of the 4th. A tel
e~graphic despatch from Petersburg, Va, to the
Louisville Courier, gives the following items
of news.

on the lst inst, with dispatches which were

'Col. MILES train had started from Vera

John Reynolds, of the 9Th infantry, has been
hung for the murder of a woman. 1t is repor-
ted that Santa Anna had embarked from AGA

in a guerrilla attack against azatian, in which
many others are said to have fallen. A night
expedition, sent to Cholula for the purpose OF
apprehending several Mexican officers, resulted
in a skirmish, in which several ofthe Mexicans
were killed. A number of Americans were
sent to Col. Childs by Izunzeas, tie former
Governor of Puebla, asking an exchange fol
Col. Pavoi. Col Childs refused on the grounds
that the Mexicans were greatly indebted fol-
the prisoners they had liberated. He eulogis
ed ~Izunzeas for the kind treatment he had be-
slowed upon them while under his control.

A RICH SCENE We happened yesterday evening
to be on the spot, when a portly gentlemen and a la
dy were meeting each other on the slippery pavement.
They had just come together, when the gentleman
slipped and fell, and in falling caught the lady's feet,
and threw her also, she falling upon him. She got ups
and expressed much indignation, when be also arose,
amid her remarks against his awkwardness and un-
g~entlemanly conduct, by my soul, madam, but you
are lucky" said he. Lucky, - she replied, 'by be-
ing knocked down in the street," NO. he return
ed, 'but lucky the tables were not turned, and that
I did not fall on you" The lady left in the midst of
the remark, but the scene was highly enjoyed by those
who witnessed it, and who heard the brief converse
I ton.

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS IN RUssIA.-The ad-
ministration of the Post Office in Russia, has
just published the list Of Foreign newspapers.
which will be allowed toenter the empire next
year. The total is 306, Of which l56 are Ger
man, lob French, al English and 2 Polish.
The Emperor will not allow American new
papers to circulate among his millions of slaves.
American sentiments of civil and religious
freedom, if disseminated among them, would
not cause his head to lie a triAe easier, so he
wisely keeps them out.

New LoAN.-We learn from the New York
Herald that rumors were current in Wall street
on Friday last, that the government at Wash
lngton had effected a loan with the Russian
Government. through M. Bodisco, the Russian
Minister, for $4,000, 900, to be drawn for a
bill on London or on St. Petersburg.
The Herald further says. there ire also reports
IN circulation that the Secretary ofthe Treasu-
~ had perfected plan for raising all the mon
ey he wants by an issue of Treasury notes, in
sums of not less than so, fearing interest, and
an issue of notes in sums of not less than $40,
not bearing interest.

How TO LEARN THE VALUE OF A DoLLAR.-Readers,
saysa Democratic paper, if you would learn the val
ne of a dollar, go and labor two days in the burning
sun SIS a hod-carrier. This is an excellent idea; and
if many of our young gentlemen had to earn all their
dollars in that way, how much less dissipation and
folly and crime, would be witnessed every day. So
of our fashionable young ladies; if they, like SOM Of
- rAn= seamstresses of our large cities, had to earn
their dollars by making shirts at ten cents a-piece, how
much less foolish finery would wesee about them, and
how much more truthful notions would they have of
their duties OF life, and their obligations to the rest of
the world.

CANAL TRUsTEE.-The New Albany Bulle-
tin speaking of the election of Mr.. Puett to the
office of Canal Trustee, holds the following Ian
guage. When we have a little more time than
we can command at present, we intend to look
into this matter.
"With the deepest feelings Of modification
do we announce TO our readers the election by
the Legislature, on the 25th ballot, of AUSTIN
M. PUETT to the Office of Canal Trustee. We
know not by what system of legerdemain, this
result was brought about; but this we do know
that a Legislature with a clear majority of four
wings on joint ballot, has elected to an impor-
tant and lucrative station, a violent, abusive
and unscrupulo slocofoco, whose qualifications
for discharging the duties of the Office are fal
below that of either of his Wing competitors
We presume that personal favoritism and sec
tional prejudice, predominating over love o.
principle and political integrity, have conspir
ed to effect this consummation, SO much to bt
| regretted by every true Wing in the State. How
men protesting to be Wings, and elected to tn
Legislature as such, could SO far forget thei
} duty to their country and party, as to vote 10
a Locofoco of the stamp of Mr.. Puett, we can
not conceive.
'sThose schismatics in the Wing ranks, wht
have distracted and divided the party ever sine
; the sitting of the Legislature. should be watch
ed and branded as traitors to the cause. The,
e should be handed over to the tender mercies c
Y an outraged constituency. whose indignation
; should visit them, and consign them to tina
eternal infamy that their traitolous course de
serves.-Never again should the interest of tn
a party be i~ntrusted to their faithless hands, bu
a mark as that of Cain should be placed upo
them, and they should be driven forth anon
the good and pure of the Wing party, to wan
der the balance of their days among the sewers
e sinks, and quagmires of Locofocoism."
