|pent for the election a delegates TO attend the
grand Auti- slavery national convention, 70 be
held 10 Pttsbsrg on Tie nth Of August. took
place on Wednesday, At Dedhsm, Mssssch usetts,
IN the midst Of great snthusiasm, chssrs and ex-
element. Three delegates were appointed, and
also three substitutes, the nance Of whom have
been given heretofore among our political inteli-
Rence. The Hon. Charles Francis Adams, Of
Quincy. (the son Of the late President John @
Adams,) was chairman of the meeting. Strong
resolutions, and principles similar TO those Of
the Buffalo convention of lS48, were passed
the fugitive slave law denouncsd--and the plat
forms and candidates Of both the Wings and
Democrats we're held up to scorn and execsA-
ton. These aniislayery folks "spt upon" Gen.
Scott and Gen. Pierce with equal bitterness.
The various movements at various places in
the N ,rth for the organization Of third great
political party, will probably concentrate, on .
urge scale, At Pittsburg. on the llth day of An
gust--the most curious conglomeration of fam
atcism and philanthropy. demagogues and chssl-
atans, men in petticoats and women in breechee,
ever assembled together since the food. And
we may we'll look out for tremendous party,
and platform which will cover all creation, en-
bracing everything in the heavens and in the
EARTH and in the waters under the EARTH Their
platform will be deadly hostile to any more
slave States-doad against Cuba--dead against
any more filibustering expeditions into Mexico
dead against the introduction Of slavery into
the territories--dead set against the fugitive
slave law, and slavery in the District of Colum-
bia; and while they will join Greeley in splitting
upon and execrating the Wing platform, they
will kick over the Democratic platform. They

they will swallow up all the odds and ends oflhe
crazy factions of the day-alI the isms and
schisms, rag, tag, and bobtail-and form great
third Northern party, which will be death to
either the Wing party or the Democratic party
Ito Scott or to Pierce-in the coming election
Such are the signs of the times 1t is, indeed,
highly probable that the Pittsburg convention
will decide the fate Of one or the other of the
old parties, not only in the November election,
but kill 1t off entirely in New York, Ohio Mas
sachusetts, and all other Northern States. We
may expect 10 see the fur fly, for the new mon

1t is supposed that some valiant knight, more
amorous than discreet, has spirited away the
