DIssENsIoN THE ABoLITIoS RANKs ON THE
SUBJECT OF THE PRxsIpENcy.-It will be recollect
ed that a convention of the Liberty Party Of the
United States" held at Buffalo last autumn, nom
mated Gerrit Smith for President, and Charles
Durkee for Vice President of the United States
As both these gentlemen declined the honor, an
other convention Of the same party 10 to be held at
Buffalo on the LIST Septe mber next. TO make new
selection. The call Is signed by George w. John
con, Frederick Douglass, (negro,) and others.
Meanwhile the Boston Commonwealth the Adolf
ton organ of New England, has hoisted at its
mast head the names of John p. Hale, of New
Hampshire for Presidents and Cassius NJ Clay, Of
Kentucky, for Vice President.
We observe also call for Freesoil National
Convention, to be held at Cleveland on the first
Wednesday in August next, for the nomination of
President and Vice President. The call ia signed
by SamuelLewis, as chairman of the Freesoi Ma
tiona Committee.
We would suggest the necessity of co operation
on the part of these miserable little factions If
they would all unite and nominate Fred Doug
lass for President, and some white Abotionst
for Vice President, it would bring out the strength
OF the party, and save them perhaps from absolute
contempt Mo- York Journal Of Commerce.
THE WEATHER.-Thc unusually chilly weather
which we had week ago has been succeeded by
a spell o. unusually hot weather, the thermometer
reaching high as $50 in the shade of cool room
in THE city correspondent of the New York
Journal Of Commerce, who appears TO devote much
attention to the subject of atmospheric changes, in
a communication to that paper, dated at Brooklyn,
the 10th instant, says:
"Ihe weather has been in unusual condition
for the last Six days. Friday, the Il,h, the tenn.
peraturc fell to 4So at m; in the afternoon an
electric current was running with great force from
north to south; in the evening brilliant Aurora
streamed up to zenith, and continued till mid
night. and next morning beautiful rainbow was
suspended III the southeast. Snow fell to the west
during the night of the 10Th. When the temper
ature is at $50 in June, in this latitude snow inva-
riaby falls south of latitude 45o north. la June,
1851, the temperature at a. m, of the 18th, was
down 10 AZ; one degree lower than last week.
Yesterday the heat was oppressive; at IL IN. and
IN, it 900 north and $50 south At9 this morn
ing, 100 north and 75o SOUTH At lG m, go north
and l0lo south. White frost visible in many
places to the north of east Saturday morning
last. These two extremes of low and high temper
allure in quick succession have been produced by
the nth and not by the sun, and accounts from
abroad may inform US Of the nvulsion which pro-
duced these sudden and great changes OF tempcra-
tuTc.'
n
astronomical and meteorological journal, published
at Philadelphia, called the Raintouc, whose editor,
Mr.. l.. l.. Chapman, claims precedence in regard
to the weather, makes the following predictions
which he requests us to copy, and which we put
upon record for the qualification of those who may
be curious or skilled in such matters:
"Windy and electrical near the 2 )th, 25th, 29,h,
and 3oth June, and the I'd, 9th, and lsth July.
Cool near June 10th, 29th, End July 18th. Aurora
will be visible near the 18th June, if the sun's dis
lance from the equinox does not prevent. Physical
conditions OF terrestrial electro preds-
posing to earthquakes, will exist near the goth
29th June, and lath of July. That occurring near
the goth June, we Judge will be sufficient TO pro-
duce the phenomena IN some parts Of the globe
near, within week Of that date. Atmospheric
conditions more unayorable to health and feelings
near June 90 and July l4th l7ib. Perhaps consider
able dull, wet weather after June goth. Some pre-
disposition 70 disease resembling cholera in if not
before, August"
