The LIBERTY PARTY.-The State Nomi-
mating Convention of this party, held at Co
lumbus on the 22nd, didn't make any nomi-
nations, or positively ratify any which had
been made. As the members Of that party
are going so warmly into the Presidential
contest, they concluded not to have a Guber-
material candidate. The Cincinnati Herald
thinks, that if Gen. Ford will repudiate the
nomination of Taylor, he will receive the sup
port of the Liberty party voters. The Con-
%vention recommended Hale and King to the
Independent Convention to be held at Buff
falo on the 9th proximo, and declare that i
their names are not withdrawn as the Liberty
party nominees, and i said convention does
not present worthy candidates, they will give
their support to the nominees aforesaid. The
Herald says,
"We do not yet despair of seeing the Pre-
sidential contest narrowed TO a choice between
Gen. Taylor, and the Independent Free Soil
candidate, and that upon the issue Of Terrific
rial Freedom"

NEWSPAPER PosTAGE.-The House has
passed a bill regulating newspaper postage
differing from that reported 10 the Senate,
and which contemplated making the proposed
change in the Post Office regulations on the
LIST of July we fear, however, that no change
will be made this session. Among tho pro-
visions of the bill are the following.
Newspapers not exceeding 1900 square
inches in size, free within the county or
thirty miles of publication office. Within
the State, or within one hundred miles in
any direction, J cent postage.
Newspapers not exceeding 500 square
inches in size, free within the limits of coun-
ty or thirty miles, and ! cent postage any
distance beyond.
Magazines, Pamphlets sc. two cents for
those not above one ounce, one cent for each
additional ounce.
Newspapers, circulars &c. not sent from
publication office, two cents, TO be prepaid.

4 SUICIDE.-The colored man whose case
we noticed a few weeks since, and who was
found guilty by a Maryland court of the
crime of having circulated an anti-slavery pa
per, committed suicide in order to escape the
penalty of the law. Poor man lie was a
stranger in a strange land, he had no home,
no nationality. lie was prosecuted to death
by proiessed lrcemen because he loved liber-
ly and hated slavery; he was murdered by
prolessed christians because he desired 10
have christianity prevail. But what care the
people! His death is but another blood stain
upon the crimsoned garments Of slavery he
is but one of millions of sufferers.

The "Staunton Democrat" says, " the
philanthropy of Gen. Cass is as comprchen-
sive as the overarching sky;" the Louis
vile Journal" finishes the sentence by add
ing" and his prospects are as blue"
The L" European Times" gives the follow
ing illustration of the close calculation of the
captain of one of the British steamers-we
don't believe Deshong, the great m%athemati-
clan, could beat it.
"Capt. Judkins, on leaving Liverpool on
his last voyage, ordered his dinner to he
ready at his hotel on his return home from
New York, at 6 o'clock, May 23nd, and that
he was there within five minutes of the time.
His diuner is ordered tor his next return on
Saturday the Sth of July"
1t is said that, of the American troops sent
to fight the Mexicans, about one thousand
have joined the Mexican army.
A company of Getaway Indians in Michi-
gan, consisting of seven hundred persons,
raised last season $4,000 bushels of corn, and
10000 bushels of potatoes. They also made
the past spring $4,000 lbs of maple sugar.
This would give to each one, man, woman
and child in round numbers, IS bushels OF
corn, 81 bushels of potatoes, and IGl pounds OF
sugar. The Washington Union says that
sugar is worth there : cents a pound, pota.
toes 37t cents a bushel, and corr so cents
so the average share of each member of the
tribe would be ST. ,35-a pretty fair result
for Indian agriculture.

Posr- OFFICE BILL.-The Senate Commit
tee on Post Offices and Post Roads, has re-
ported a bill to tina, body recommending a
uniform postage of three cents on all prepaid
letters, or five cents paid on delivery; and
one cent on all newspapers prepaid, or two
cents on delivery. The probability is, that
no action will be taken on the bill during the
present session of Congress, and its fate the
next session will be determined to a consid-
cradle extent by the reception the proposition
meets with at the hands OF the people.

WAN UPON GEN. rAxIon.

The Democratic Review is engaged in attempt to
to demosh Gen. Taylor's military character. !, re-
marks:
'That was battle won bv the men almost in spite
Of the General, to whose mistakes one half Of the
slaughter Of the troops may be fairly attributed.

THE DISCUSSION.

According to appointment on Monday last, af-
ter the Court adjourned, the good people of the
County were edited BY an address from Mr..
joins F.. NoRRIs, late of the City of Washing
ton. This is the second speech we have had
from this gentleman, who was up 10 the time of
this canvass unknown to our people, and until
very recently, it is said, of the great host Of
oflce-holders in Washington. He declared in
the course Of the discussion that he is now func-
tas oGcio. We have no desire to dispute this
fact, bnt from his whole-hog advocacy Of the
measures of James the Sd BY the grace of De-
mocracy, Monocrat of this Empire, we should
infer that he is at least in good odour with the
powers that be.
MIR. Norris made speech Of some hour and a
quarter, which was consumed in first charging
upon the Wings great inconsistency in not bring
ing out Henry Clay instead Of Gen. Taylor in
having forsaken their chosen principles and
running Gen. Taylor as a no-pariy man to catch
Democrats, and party man to catch Wings -
aud he ehuckled over the admissions of Daniel
Webster--ihat our principles were all resolved
Minor Bolts ia his letter to the New York Clay
meeting. In doing all which he neglected to
show that Taylor was in fact nominated by the
acclamations of the people, Democrats and
Wings, before the Philadelphia Convention was
thought of and we found him saddled and bri-
died ready forthe race-and he read only part
of Webster's speech--and forgot to tell US how
friend Bolts has frankly over to his friends,
on being well assured Of the old Generals sound
ness as ii Wing, since he has seen his manly,
honest, second letter to Mr.. Allison.
The gentleman was most facetiously severe
upon poor General Taylor, because he had more
than once stated that he did not wish to be re-
garded as the mere tool Of Party and party
schemes :---and thus, the very effort made by
tue old patriot to put down. if possible, the acer-
bty of party spirit and the evils Of party strife,
(as is usual with the orators of the spoils ca
baD perverted into imbecility Of character and
vacillation as a political man. The very COM
piment paid TO this Locofoco sept of being ca
pable of laying aside for once, party spite, party
domination, and party spoils, for the good Of the
into party weapon--and his honest effort to
bring peace into the land, by tender of at
impartiality and disinterestedness, was sneered
at BY that distorted Democratic creed, which
regards politics as trade, or a trick the people
as puppets aud their leaders as the scaramou-
ches who marshal them and manGuvre them,
land take in the money for the exhibition, too,
be it remembered)
