District Convention.

The wing convention of the Ninth Con-
gressional district, for the nomination of a cam
didate for representative to Congress, met at
o'clock, p. m, in Brinley Hall.
John B. d. Coggswell, Esq, of Worcester,
was appointed Chairman, and John Boyden,
Secretary.
The committee on credentials reported "a
towns and cities to be represented,by 100 del
egates.
On motion of Col. Lee, of Templeton, the
members of the District committee were in
vited to take seats in the convention.
Edward W. Lincoln, Esq, of Worcester,
moved that the convention proceed to ballot
for a wing candidate for representative from
the Ninth Congressional district.
Col. Bullock proposed to amend Mr.. Lin
coins motion by substituting therefor series
of resolutions which he read.
The first resolution protested against the
Kanzas- Nebraska bill as a violation of a SOL
emn national compact, and declared that the
passage of that bill exonerated the Free States
from all obligation to remain silent in view of
such an outrage.
The second resolution declared that the ac-
ton of the general government had opened
the eyes of the people to the pro-slavery de-
signs of the South and the third promised
the aid Of the wings to all parties who in
good faith will go for the repeal of the Fugi-
tive Slave law, unless that law is amended so
as to give the fugitive trial by jury.
The 18th and 5th resolutions denounced the
administration for its pro-slavery course; for
its Greytown exploit for its design to reopen
the slave trade, for its fIbuster attempts on
Cuba, &c.
The last four resolutions proposed that the
Wings of the ninth district recognize, in the
present representative to Congress, con-
sistent opponent to the Nebraska perfidy, &c. :.
and that they will therefore not make any
nomination in opposition to Hon. A. Dewitt.
E. w. Lincoln moved a series of resolutions
as a substitute for those of Col Bullock. Mr..
Lincoln's resolutions repudiated all attempts
to unite in any way with the Free Sellers,
and went for the maintenance of the Wing
party, Wing principles, and Wing nomina-
tons, without any deviation whatever. An
animated discussion took place on the resolu-
tons. Col. Lee, of Templeton made bitter
personal attack on Col. Dewitt. He said he
knew him publicly and privately, and he did
not like him in any respect. Major General
Hobbs made one of his usual Quatt,ebum
harangues in favor of pure Wing nomina-
ton. Mr.. Lincoln's resolutions were substi-
tuted for those of Col. Bullock, by vote of
33 to 80. Mr.. Lincoln's resolutions were then
laid on the table.
The Convention then proceeded to select
from Henry S. Washburn, of Worcester, Sam
uel Mixter, of New Braintree, and Alvah
Croker, Of Fitchburg, candidate for Con-
gress. The whole number of votes was a.
Henry S. Washburn had 80, and was chosen.
A District Committee was appointed, and
the Convention adjourned.

PRESERVING FRUITS IN VAcUUM.-Joel l..
Green of Cincinnati has invented and has on
exhibition in this City, method of sealing or
soldering cans or bottles of fruit while in the
receiver Of an air pump. The receiver may
be lkened to big iron pot turned bottom up
upon an iron bed plate with ground joint
There are three glass windows, through which
whatever is inside can be seen. In the center
of the convex part of the receiver, there is a
universal ball joint, and through that sill
ding rod, to the lower end of which heated
soldering iron is attached by which the cans
can be soldered whenever the guage shows
that the air sproperly exhausted by the work.
ing of the air-pump Within the receiver
there is a coil of steam pipe, by which any
degree Of heat can be obtained.
The apparatus will not be expensive, and
will be useful to fruit growers, as it will en-
able them to put up fruit in that best of all
ways, by exhausting the air, by which it can
be kept without sugar, and without cooking
enough to destroy the natural flavor. Butter,
eggs, meat and sundry other articles of food,
can be preserved for an indefinite time by ex-
Guiding the air. This invention will be use
full for any purpose of working in vacuo where
it is necessary to see and manipulate the
article.

Whig Coun,r Conyention.

The Wings of Worcester County, held their
County Convention for the nomination of

Col. Bullock, on taking the Chair, thanked
the Convention for the honor conferred upon
him, and then proceeded today out the cam
paign for this fall.
He denounced the Administration for Its
foreign and home policy, and expressed his
wonder how such a set of men and such a set
of principles ever got into power.
He turned from the general government to
the State government, where he found great
cause of pride and graduation. He described
Governor Washburn as statesman whose
principles are in harmony with the institu-
tons of the State and of the people, and he
glorifed the Wing party as an organization
whose voice had never been doubtful on the
slavery question. Col Bullock urged the ne
cessity of sending a majority of Wings to the
Legislature to perfect those amendments of
the Constitution which had been introduced
and carried through during the last session of
the General Court.

vention proceed to select candidates for the

GEN. CAss READ OUT OF THE SLAVERY PAR
TY.-To the more illustrious example of Mr..
Webster is added that of Gen. Cass, to show
the gratitude of the South to the men who
stand by it on the slavery question. Gen.
Cass, having gone for the Southern view of
everything but the new doctrine just coming
into vogue, that slavery is a positive benefit,
moral and social is pronounced, on the au-
thority of the Richmond Enquirer, to be no
better than Van Buren, and Benton, and is
forever cut off from all claim upon that Sec
ton to which he has sacrificed so much and
from which he has received so little. Moth
ing short of Wise's letter satisfies the South
now, and the Charleston Mercury cavils at
that. Nothing short of reopening the slave
trade is regarded as true craftsmanship, or an
enlarged view OF political economy Progi-

The REACTION COMMEMORATE steam
ship City of Manchester sailed from Philadel-
phia on Saturday, with 80 cabin and $50
steerage passengers; and the packet ship To-
nawanda, for Liverpool, sailed the same day
with 2O4 steerage passengers. We have no.
tced of lale, frequent departures of large COM
panies of emigrants from this port, on their
return to the Old World. These occurrences
seem to indicate that reaction to the excess
sive emigration OF past years has commenced.
A vast improvement has taken place in the
condition of many of the estates in Ireland
since relieved of her redundant population,
and which, added to the operation of whole
some laws, and the favorable yield of the grain
and potato crops, impart strong additional at
fractions to the old flesh pots. '-Jo,aq,al 0,

The VICTORIA LILY.-Notwithstan the
unpleasant weather yesterday, there was full
the usual number of visitors at Mr.. Lincoln's
greenhouse, to witness the blooming of the
second bud of this beautiful flower. The
blossom was considerably larger than its pre-
decessor, and attained to its full development
in size and beauty last evening. To-day its
glory will have departed; but third bud
peered above the surface of the water yester-
day, and viii probably be in fine condition
to be visited on Friday and Saturday.

Ladies, COLLEGIATE Institute.

We have just examined the circular issued
by the Board of Trustees of the above Institu-
ton. 1t contains the sentiments entertained
upon the subject of female education, which
have led to the endeavors now being made to
establish, somewhere in the central part of the
Commonwealth, college for young women.
1t is expected that the highest and best course
of studies for thorough and practical educa-
ton will be pursued in this Institution, and
the expenses will be less than half ofthe usual
expenses of high grade female schools. This
will open the doors Of an extended course of
instruction, to young women of limited means
We understand that the Financial Secretary,
Rev. Mr.. Cummings, has returned to this city,
for the purpose of completing his subscriptions
here. We are happy TO learn that the citizens
SO generally favor an enterprise promising
great good to the present and future genera
tons. Two Thousand dollars have already
been subscribed in this city, by less than two
hundred individuals. Doubtless there are as
many more that have not been visited by Mr..
Cummings, who would gladly welcome the
opportunity VI dAuhS Gne hoDte Work. Inc
institution is to have an endowment of hun
bred thousand dollars.
If there is any objection to be made to this
plan, it is to the name that is adopted VIII,
not say Female Collegiate Institution? Tia
is plain and sensible, and in accordance witt
our republican institutions. But the term
adopted smacks of English aristocracy, and
sounds to our ears like puerile afectation.

evening last, that it was time for him to 60 to

sitting up "till after the fire" as he failed to
see it the week before. Large rewards have
been offered for the detection of incendiaries,

The BRAVE CIRcAssIANs.-. The London
Times of Sept. Is, our latest European date,
says:-
Our columns this morning contain the most
satisfactory intelligence which has yet been
received from the seat of war in Asia. After
the intrigues and imbecility which have hith-
erto characterized the proceedings OF the Turk
ish army in Armenia, it is refreshing to turn
to the vigorous inroad of Schamyl and his Cir
cassian followers into the very heart of cor
gia, and to calculate the amount of injury
which he has inflicted OH the common enemy.
In great battle near 1ihis, the Russians
were utterly defeated by their old and impla-
cable foe. They lost we are informed, many
men, seven guns, 5000 tents, and all their
baggage, and i'll addition, all the provisions
and ammunition of the Russians fell into the
hands Of the victors. II is by exploits such
as these, by hard and frequent blows on we'll
fought fields, and not by diplomatic negotia-
tons, or by naval demonstrations, which lead
to nothing--that the Emperor Nicholas will
be brought to feel the hopeless nature of the
struggle into which he has rushed, and that
peace will be restored to the world. No Won
der, then, that after such a signal overthrow,
the Russ an power in Georgia should totter to
its fall, and that Prince Bebutolf should be
summoned from Armenia, to restore, if posi-
bic, the fallen fortunes of his Imperial master.

New England Aid Association have purchas-

Jackson county, Missouri, at cost of &c.,
