1t was voted that this Committee have pow
er 10 fill vacancies, add to their number con-
vene district and State Conventions, and per,

III. Increase Sumner, of Great Darlington,
had 333, and was accepted as the nominee of
the Convention by reclamation.
Rev. John Plerpont, after being loudly call
ed for took the stand. He congratulated the
Convention on the days proceedings. He
said he had voted for every motion and reso-
luton presented today because every motion
and resolution had met with his most hearty
approval He referred to the extradition of
Burns which was conducted with every stud
led method of insult and in outrageous vio-
lation of the laws of Massachusetts, and
asked what the Wing party had done TO lead
the people to suppose that such scenes would
not be enacted again in Boston. You have
got, said he, to witness the recurrence of such
scenes, until the State government is rescued
from the hands of those who now administer
it. He said that in 10 spot of Gods green
earth was ever such an act as Burnss extra
dition, consummated. The Fugitive Slave
Law itself should be nullifed and every man
who engaged in its execution should not re-
ceive the smallest consideration of common
courtesy. After congratulating the Conven-
ton on its nominations, Mr.. Pierpont sat down
amidst loud applause.

sci for Anthony Burns, next addressed the

FRENCH ITEMS. There is a mania for rare
old books, paintings, and engrayings. The
library of the late Armand Berlin, formerly

VERMoNT.-The general result of the Yer
mont Election, comes by telegraph. We per-
ceive that the Wings are trying to pass off this
election as Wing Victory. In doing SO, they
not only deceive the public, but they help to
sustain i'll themselves delusion which NAV
lead to unpleasant errors hereafter Judge
Royce, and Messrs. Fletcher and Bates, were
the candidates of the Wing Convention, but
also of an Independent Anti-Slavey move
ment resembling that which has been, and is
likely to be, successful in other States. With
out the aid furnished from this independent
source, these men could not have been elected
Mr.. fletcher is not Wig, and does not pre-
tend to be; he is Free Soler In 1853 the
Wings tried their strength alone, and were
badly beaten, Democrat being elected. This
year they showed some degree of liberality,
and by the aid of the Free Sellers have been
successful. What is true OF the State ticket,
is also true of the Congressional nominations
The Wing candidates accepted the nominations
OF the Free Sellers, and to them are indebted
for success. The result is an anti Nebraska
and anti-slavery triumph, but not a Wing

YELLOW FEVER AND CHOLERA AT New Or
LEANS. Private Dispatches received from New
Orleans, report the yellow fever an epidemic,
and the mortality very great. The cholera was
also prevailing. The Delta publishes the Of
fetal report OF the sections for the week end
ing 9th August, showing total mortality for
the week, Of 38O-of which number 1877 are
reported as yellow fever. The deaths from
other diseases is put down at 1913 whici is a
very great mortality. The Delta says:
can entire family, consisting of four per
sons, Germans, named Racker, died last
Thursday, in the Fourth District, of cholera,
and were all buried in the Layfavette Gene
tary on the same day. A father died of con-
sumption, few days subsequently, his little
daughter hreathed her last, and both were
buried in the same grave. The interment re
port furnishes us with abundant food for re-
hection."

concluded his speech before the Convention
yesterday about half past one o'clock. At 20

Traveller took special train and arrived in
Boston with his notes of the speech at 10
minutes before 8 o'clock. AT half past 4

its enterprise on this, as on other occasions.

captain KIDD's TREASURE. We see it
stated that man named Hiram Marble is en-
gagged in re-opening the so-called q Dungeon
Rock, in Lynn, which once contained cave
inhabited by pirates. The cave was resort
for pirates as early as 1868, but the band were
all captured and carried to England by cruis-
er, except one Thomas Veal, who continued
to live there until the great earthquake, which
closed up the cave, and buried its occupant.
We believe Mr.. Marble is the same gentleman
who was engaged in blasting the rock the sum-
MGR before last and had already made quite a
hole, when his labors wers inter1ered with by
some over anxious friends, who were disposed
trumor said) to question his sanity. He is
impressed with the notion that the earthquake
which buried up MIR. Pirate Veal, also buried
up sundry bulks of treasure with him, which
is not at all likely. 1t seems however that
he has resumed operations, and has penetrated
the rock about fifty feet, bringing 10 light sew
eral implemt nts, among them hammer and
an ancient sword.
