GASES IN THE DEsERT.-For some time it
looked as if there was not single county
in Ohio which was not submerged In the
deluge of Fusion Nnow Nothing Whiggery,
which swept the state on the 10th inst. We
looked in vain for single bright oasis to
dispel the surrounding political darkness,
and had about given it up, when we found
that the following counties were still right
side up with care. Here they are. Their
names are destined to glorious immortali-

NAVAL STATION IN THE WEST INDIES
A correspondent of the Tribune, writing
from st. Thomas, reports that our diplo-
matte agents TO the Dominican republic,
Mr. and Mr.. Mrs. Cnzneau, have succeeded
III their mission, to secure the Bay of Sama-
ma for United States naval sta lion. 1t is
also stated that President Santana is inclin-
ed to accept the friendship of the United
States, hoping to find in it permanent bar
rier for Dominica against the ambition OF
his neighbor, the Emperor of all the Hay
items. The Bay of Samana is situated on
the north side of the Island of Hayt, near
the east end. 1t is said to be one of the
largest and most commodious harbors in the
world, and of depth and ease of entrance
capable of accommodating the largest ships
naval or merchant. 1t commands the Gull
of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, and is a
more desirable point. for the general purposes
of naval movements, than any harbor Of
Cuba.

A State committee of the democrats of
New Hampshire, opposed to the administra-
ton of Pierce and Co., have lately held a
meeting, and have adopted resolutions pro-
posing Gen. Sam. Houston as their candidate
for President, and urging the organization OF
"San Jacinto clubs F" in all portions of the
Union. They approve his opposition to the
Nebraska fraud. &c.
We find a long article on this subject, and
in appreciation of it, copied into the Sandus-
ky Mirror as its leader of Thursday. 1t may
mean something. The idea of following
Pierce and Nebraska in Ohio is SO absurd
and hopeless that it is not to be entertained

THE UNYVERSALIST CONTENTION

From Our Own ReportcT
PHILADELPHIA, Thursday, Sept. 81, 1854
The Universais. Convention closed its labors to-
day. The chief business of the Council was the re-
vision Of the Contribution The point that excited
most discussion was the provision giving the Unite
States Conv eLtion power to finally adjust differences
which may arise in State Conventions in matters Of
fellowship and discipline. That power, however.
was Incorporated into the new Constitution.
The statistics Of the denomination are summed up

Resolutions condemning Slavery, in favor Of
Prohibtory Liquor Laws, against capital punish
ment and in favor of improved prison discipline were
discussed and nearly unanimously adopted. Mr..
Flanders Of Baltimore made an animated speech
against the resolution relating 10 Slavery bu. he stood
alone nearly. on that side Of the question, was
shown by the vote taken a. the conclusion Of his re-
marks.
The Convention agreed upon Middetown, Conn.
as the place of its next annual meeting. cOnsders-
bic number were in favor Of Chicago but objections
were made ON the ground that the Convention
held last year at Columbus Ohio which entitled the
Eastern States to the choice this year.
The Universalist Historical Society, the object Of
which lie to gather aIibrary Of Theological works
lstpg 10 the history of Unversslism, met this
ing and chose the Rev. John Moore Of n. H. Presi.
dent and the Rev. T. j. Sawyer, Secretary. The
occasional sermon by the Rev. T. b. Thsyer has
cited considerable remark in consequence of itssevere
attack upon Catholicism, msuy Universities beli9v-
ing that it ia unwise and inconsistent for them TO join
in a crusade against another religious denomination
The Rev. L. III. Chaplin preached TO an immense
audience last evening at the Church of Messiah. The
Rev. w. S. Bach preached this afternoon and the
Rev. A. A. Miner Of Boston this evening. The Con-
veDtioD has on the whole been practical and harmo

In Stocks there was a fair business done this morn
ing without marked change from yesterday, but gen.
orally the market was heavy. Between the Boards
there was an improved feeling, and at the Second
Board the quotations showed considerable improve
menron yesterdays closing rates. The bears are still
sellers TO some extent, but not bold and some OF
the leading bears who have taken in their shorts find
it very much their policy to assist in sustaining rather
than in depressing the market. The movement in
Erie was upward at the Second Board and the other
fancies sympaiized. Erie closed ct ij advance OF
T. cent as compared with the closing price yester-
day. The receipts for August, published this morning.
are considered very favorable. The announcement,
also, that the Company we're prepared to discount
any Of liz acceptances due prior 10 18th October
had favorable influence. Reading improved to

the arriving steamers some of the orders one or tive
quite large ones are limited 80 low that they cannot

encoursginey Of the condition Of the Commercial CIR
