The Anti Nebraska Convention met at Auburn
Yesterday, ex-Chancellor VIM. T. McCOun pre-
siding. About two hundred Delegates were
present. An attempt was made to have the voting
done per capita instead of all the delegates Of an
Assembly District casting but one vote, as they
did at Saratoga. The per capita motion was car
red. Mr.. Jay and Mr.. Blunt, on behalf Of the
New-York delegation, protested against the per
capita voting, but their protest was declared out
Of order. resolution was offered in favor of or
ganizing Republican party, Independent Of all
other party organizations in the State. A sub
sttute was moved that the ticket of the Wing
Convention be nominated. Ruled out Of order.
A confused and excited debate followed,
and finally the new party matter was laid on the
table. A motion was made that nominations be
made oira rocc. An attempt to lay this motion
on the table failed-46 to LIS. Another motion
was made to nominate, as an independent ticket,
two Wings and two Democrats. During an at
tempt to apply the previous question, aud amid
much confusion, John p Hale was called out
and made spirited speech. 1t was then moved
to nominate the Wing ticket, substituting Brad
ford r. Wood for Mr.. Raymond. A debate en-
sued OH Mr.. Raymond's position on the Tenn
perance question, which was settled by the read
ing of letter from him. in which he pledged
himself in favor Of a prohibitory law. Mr.. Jay
read letters from each of the Wing candidates,
fully indOrsing the Saratoga proceedings. An
effort was then made to nominate the Wing
ticket, and after long struggle Myron II. Clark
was nominated for Governor by acclamstion.
They subsequently nominated the remainder Of
the Wing ticket.

RESPONSIBILITY OF JOURNALISTS

Our columns this morning are adorned by a cor.
respondence between Mr.. James Cooper, L. S.
Senator from Pennsylvania, and Mr.. Morton
McNlchael, the chief editor of The North Ameri-
can. That journal had contained certain severe
structures concerning the subscription made by
the City of Philadelphia to the Sunbury and Erie
Railroad, and Mr.. Cooper, being the President of
that Company and feeling himself touched by the
statements of The North Amsrican addressed q
letter to the editor inquirias whether he Cooper
was aimed at by those statements. To this Mr..
McMichael replied, denying the RICH: of Mr..
Cooper to question him as to the intent Of any
published comments on public affairs, ind refus-
ing, as matter of duty, to answer the Senator's
query. At the same time, however, he admitted
his own responsibility, legal, moral and per-
"sonal," for whatever appeared in The North
american, which responsibility he was ready on
all proper occasions to meet.
This was putting the matter where Nh. Cooper
was willing to have it, and accordingly he re-
sponded, through his friend Mr. Connelly, that be
was happy to find bis antagonist 50 ready to
acknowledge himself personally responsible; and
that he would be glad to know where nd when
it would suit Mr.. McMichael to receive ehal.
lenge, which, it seems, the laws of Pennsylvania
do not allow Of, and for the sending of which II
i, advisable that q gentleman should resort 10
some State where Legislation is less stringent
This note led Mr.. McAichnl to take q new view
of the question. The day before. he hsd scknowl-
edged his personal accountability; but, now that

The nti-Nebraska State Convention, adjourned
from Saratoga Springs last month, reassembled
Yesterday at Auburn in diminished numbers "a;
was to be expected) but in undated spirit. Az
at Saratoga, a wide diversity Of views was
evinced but with a decided preponderance in
favor Of striking blows that will tell rather than
furiously beating the air to no purpose. The
Wing State Ticket was finally adopted not with
entire unanmity but with very general concur
renee. So the last hope of defeating that ticket
by distracting the supporters of the principles it
upholds, was cut of.
Themost notable deyelopmentofthe day was that
relating to the position of Mr.. Henry J. Raymond
on the question of Liquor Prohibition. 1t APP
pears, as We could barely hope hitherto that Mr..
Raymond did not write nor personally sanction
the article published as Editorial in his paper ap-
proving and sustaining Gov. Seymour's sweeping
Veto Message Of last Session. OF this the Con-
ventiOn was assured, on Mr.. Raymond's author
ity, by Mr.. j. j. Chambers. delegate from
Westchester who read in addition letter of re-
cent date from Mr.. Raymond, pledging himself to
the support of Prohibitory Law. The letter
has not yet reached u.s. but, from the fact that 1t
was received with enthusiasm by the Convention,
we infer that ii contains some assurance thai Mr..
RaymOnds editorial columns shall not henceforth
be used, as they heretofore have BEEN to assail
and dsparsge the course of Prohibition. That
point being made right the Temperance State
Convention to-day will doubtless follow the Anti
Nebraska Convention in indorsing and adopting
the entire Wing Ticket which will then sweep
the State like tornado.
Justice, TEMPERANCE and FREEDOM
such is the inscription in characters of living
light on the Wig banner in the ensuing contest.
No NewYork State Ticket within sight of sue
cess ever till now bore flag so nobly emilia
zoned And none was ever crowned with more
magnificent triumph than that which awaits the
ticket headed MYRoN II. CLARK.

The Trseman's Journal has manifesty more
space and leisure at command than We have, or a
narrower sphere of labor and effort. We cannot
follow it through its columns of "hermeneutics, -
even though they astound us with the inform alton
that the Italics in the Received Version of the
Scriptures do not imply emphasis but rather that
the words 80 printed were supplied by the trans
lators. We had heard something Of the sort
several years ago. Nor do we care whether the
passage We cited from Romans is translated at
ais good not to eat meat nor to drink wine," &c.
as our version has it, or at is beautiful" &c as
our critic would have it. For if it be beautiful
In Christians to abstain from drinking wine any
thing else when indulgence might cause brother
to stumble, then it must be a very unhandsome
thing to do the opposite, or encourage others in
so doing; and we wish The Freemans Journal
would Just stop it. That paper is palpably
anxious to make converts to Roman Catholi-
citm, not 80 much from the ignorant and unstable
Populsce, as from among the intelligent, con-
siderate, conservative portion of our people. To
impress this class, it must convince them that
Catholicism is more favorable to Order, Morality
and Public Virtue than Professionalism. Now
keeping grogshop is no longer accounted re-
spectacle, eemmendsbe vocation by ouf people,
especially BY those in comfortable circumstances
even the freqaenters of grogshops cherish no
good opinion of tie business they thus support
Especially when me, who have lived worldly and
skeptical lives are seriously impressed, they are
inclined to adopt, not . middling good religion,
but the best; and, their theological acquire
ments being scanty they are constrained to fol-
low Christs rule-"Judge the tree by its fruits. /"
II they find the haunts Of dissipation and cen.
susl excess mainly or predominantly kept by per.
sons Of one church, and the clergy Of that church
