teen eeJg later than previously received The only
feature Of interest by this arrival, is tn announce
men. that two millions Of dollars, in gold dust, is
now on ia WY to this city, in the steamer Ohio.
She viii probably be here day. 1t is said that
the general news is OF no Importance, which may
be taken as Indication that affairs are progress
ing rather favoraby than otherwise, in the golden
State. While upen the subject, we may as well re-
mark tia: telegraphic dispatch from Norfolk contra
dicts the rumor current IN this city yesterday, that
California steamer had put into tina. port.
The proceedings of the National Liberty Conven.
ton, which met at Syracuse yesterday, are charac.
erstic Of the past history of the party. During the
morning session some Of the delegates entertained
the audience by advocating State rights doctrines,
upon non Intervention principles-that is, that one
State has right to interfere with the internal ar.
engagements of another; that, although negro may
be slave, according TO the laws of some States,
the moment he sets foot in Others ne is, according
to their laws, a free man, and any United
States marshal who attempts to arrest and
remand him to mis- master, commits gross
violation Of State lave, and should be prosecuted
for Kidnapping at least according to their peculiar
view of the matter, the general government has no
business to NEEDLE with the disputes which spring
MP between the different States. In the afternoon
resolutions were passed, re-affrming the old party
issues, and then the body commenced balioting for
q Presidential candidate Senator Hale, the Pitts
burg free democratic nominee, was thrown over
board, and VIM. Goodell, the Canastota nominee
was selected as the standard bearer Of the liberty
party in the coming campaign. Gerrit Smith
turned his back upon Hale, and went for Goodell.
s. III. Piper Of Va was fixed upon as the candidate
for the Vice Presidency
But enough of the abolitionists-let Us see what
is going on in the Convention Of Spirit Rappers, at
Worcester. There we have a treat-something that
will attract far attention than anything that
has happened for some time. Andrew JACKSON
Davis has had vis;on-a miraculous vison-most
wonderful to beholdl He very cooly tells US that,
through the alsprituGl lorgnettes he
saw among other strange things, Maidstone cross
Another gentleman, also, named Hewitt--who is
10 be the editor Of the organ to be called the
Nac Era, or Hearen OpeHu-presented q COM
muDication from the spirit Of John Hancock,
which was endorsed ~ the spirits Of George
Warrington, Ben Franklin, and other IL
lustrious persons who formerly inhabited this
world A Scotchman present, objected to some Of
the lanl uage Of this communication, not1ithstand-
ing that 1t was brought forward by an embryo edi-
tor. This gentleman, psrLsps, did not take into
confederation the fact that John Hancock departed
from this sphere prior TO tn. innovations Of Kirkham
Webster, and other philologists, upon the English
language. II i. not probable that Webster's new
dictionary has yet been introduced into the spirit
world. This reminds us Of the fact that lady in
tbis city, the other evening, while in supposed
communication with her departed husband. was in.
formed that the doctors had mistaken his disease
Being told to write down the names Of such CON-
plants as her husband might have had, she wrote
AZ word "gizzard," whereupon the spirit raped
and the medium very gravely informed her that tina;
was what allied her husband-ths poor fellow had
actually died Of the glzzsrd complaint. Read the
report Of the proceedingsat Worcester, and enjoy it
No wonder that even the chairman of the Convsn
ton repudistsd the conduct Of soms Of the crazy
mediums.
General stott does not sppesr to have met with
quite so warm reception in Lexington, Ky, as he

about equally divided between him and General
Wool. Both gentlemen held leyees yesterday morn
ing, watch were attended by many Of the leading
men in the State, without distinction Of party In
the course of the forenoon they called on the widow
Of the lamented henry Clay. In the afternoon the
