BENNETT on THE RuFFALo con-
vENTIoN.

The New York Herald is quite severe IN It's
structures on the Bufialo Convention. Speaking
81 Van Buren, popularity, he Herald SAYS: siThe
strength Of Mr.. Van Buren, IS mere cypher i
feather, in the great weight Of those principles
those ideas. and those feelings, which have been
put forth By the convention. He has iit,le per-
sonal strength. Of popularity, in New York, but
not sufficient 10 carry single electoral vots. e.

Ne, Mr.. Van 8aIrp. frDm the circumstances
whirt have acisd I'm WHARF be &. viii become
a mos, important and ruling element in he eIec-
ton Tor The Presidcncy-an election which will
begin now with seriousness.
The Herald says, even as matters vet stand,
General Taylor possesses the vantage ground
Further returns from the State elections in tic
West and North Carolina. even in conjunction
with the proceedings at Buffalo, donot shake our
belief that the chances Oh General TAYLOR are
yet the best Of the three candidates now before the
people Of this country"
The description of The mongrels Of which the
Convention was composed, is decidedly rich:
Many of the features presented to an admir-
ing world BY the vast assemblage Of men and
women, the rogues and the politicians, at Buifa-
10, may excite smile Of dersion, or broad
laugh OF ridicule- In fact, the angels On heaven
could hardly look serious To see delegates app
pointed TO such an assemblage, black as the ace
Of spades, and as woolly as the sheep on the
mountains--to see the defendants Of the African
race depuled by the whiHe Anglo-Saxon people.
from any part Of the country, as delegatesio such
an assenblage, would hardly be believed in any
other country or in any other age. The crude
notions--,he wild opinions---the incoherent
thoughts which filled the mind OF other portions
Of the delegates,eor those who attended as ANA
Tours both men and women--for il seems that
both sexes were represcnted--would also be suf-
fcienttoprovoketh the laughter ridiculc, and sneers
OF the sensible world around them But these
traits, like the great features of human nature,
are so mixed up and blended with sober and calm
enthusiasm in favor Of the assertion Of certain hu
man rights, possessing an eternal truth in their
existence, that the tragic features OF me Buffalo
convention will overFower the comic, aud sup
press those emotions that spring alone from the
ridiculous

The Hagerstown Herald of Freedom speaks
Of Witnessing machine, Just built BY Mr. Sam
uel III. Little, Of that town, the inventor of the
celebrated horse power. which is designed for
tLrn hing, separating and cleansing grain all at
the same time. The machine is constructed up
en- the most simple principles, and will, we think,
supersede all other thrashing machines now in
use. Being free from the complicated works
with which others are MANUFACTURED, this ma
chine is not liable to become dis0rdered as they
are, which will be great tesideratum with farm
ers and others using thrashing machines Ii
will take from the sheaf two hundred bushels Of
Fheatt and preparef for ile mill IA one day, wih
Tie aid VI but seScf hands.

A TRIEurE TO HEvar Clara cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin
states that during the session of the Sc
nate on Saturday night, while Gen. Hous-
ton was ON the floor discussing the Oregon
Bill, he remarked in reference to the Mis-
souri, compromise, that Mr. Clay, for that
act, concluding as it did the gloomy rup-
ture between the North and the South, de-
served q monument ofperpetnal adarant,
to stand in the rotunda hall of the Capitol,
for future posterity to gaze upon, and re-
nemherin an hour Of similar trial. He
had scarcely uttered the words, amid the
most breathlcss silence, when, as if moved
by a common thrill Of sympathy, a hun
dred voices resounded in the galleries, ac-
companied by clapping of hands which
seemed to shake the very building.
