The Troy Wing says
The several nominees arc about equally d.
vided between the old Wing and Democratic
parties. Mr.. Ieadley has hitherto acted
with the Wings though never prominently
American Mr.. Burrows was formerly a
Wing Mr.. Gushing Hard Democrat
Mr.. Whallon a Soft Democrat Mr.. Clark.
Hard Democrat Mr.. Seymour a Whig
Mr. Russell Wing Mr. Campbell for some
years has acted only with the Native Ameri-
tans politically Mr.. Comstock Wing 1t
will be seen, also, that the candidates repre-
sent all the localities Of the State-North,
South, East and West.
Oddly enough the Convention issues
neither address nor resolutions
A correspondent Of the New York Courier
& Enquirer, who was present, says
1t is in all probability amusing enough for
a large gathering Of delegates to have been
themselves their only spectators, but it is
very uninterestjng to the outside world. 1t
indicates a partiality towards the secresy'
part Of the organization, which will effectu-
ally render brief their term of existence how
yer powerful for the day.
FPENSsYLvASIA. The State Committees
of the Wing, Republican and American par
ties of Pennsylvania have conferred together
in regard to the division in the opposition
of that State, and the result has been
a concentration Of all three parties upon q
single candidate for Canal Commissioner
The chairmen Of the several committees have
issued an address, in which they state that
they have agreed upon Thomas Nicholson, Of
Beaver county, and call upon all, opposed to
the National Administration and to the Ne
braska fraud, to unite in his support. Thi.
is an impor tant movement, and promises a
brilliant anti Nebraska triumph where before
all seemed lost, through the divisions and
distractions among the opposers Of the ad
mlnistration

VERMONT MELoDEoNs.-W lille AZ tho Yer

noticed that the Melode0n Manufactures

play of instruments manufactured 10y Messrs

Others on exhibition, believe they deserved

ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC.

The U. S. Mail Steamer atlantic, with
Liverpool dates to the 18th ult arrived at
New York Saturday night. The intell-
gence is interesting, tho of no marked i'm
portance. Operations in the vicinity of Sc
vastopol are at stand-still, both parties
awaiting re-inforcements, and the heavy,
incessant rains interfering with work in the
trenches. 1t seems now settled that the
Allies will now winter in the Crimea, and
every effort is making to forward the nee
essary supplies of winter clothing, and ma
terial for huts and barracks.
Parliament assembled on the 18th De-
cember, and was wholly occupied with
measures for carrying on the war with in
creasing vigor. The Queens speech is de-
voted to the same subject, with the excep-
ton of a single paragraph, speaking favor
ably of the Reciprocity Treaty with the u.
S. The British funds hold up well, not
withstanding the increased expenditures
called for. There is still talk of peace re-
sulting from the protracted negotiations be-
tween Prussia. Austria and Russia, but the
prospect is not fattering. Meantime Rus
STA, like her antagonists, is largely increas-
ing her ornaments.
Breadstuffs are up again, and quotations
for Flour and Wheat have reached a very
high mark. Yet with the light stocks and
steady demand, prices seem more likely to
advance than TO recede. 1t is at least GER
tain that the market will continue to rule
high until the next harvest, and quite like :
ly that our Farmers for year at least to
come, will find ready sale at remunerating
rates for all the grain they now hold or can
raise next season.-lIl. Sentinel.

an audience. His manner is excellent, nor docs
he lack for DEPTH strength, nor feeling; and as
to telling story and setting it off with appro-
pirate action, he can't be beat. He will draw
crowds and keep them after he does draw them
and besides making them feel first rate will dc
as much to enlist them in the work of the

OF prohibitory law were capital and unan-
swerable. We trust he may prosper.

One year ago, this New Years morn,
With heavy, fearful eyes rose
Eyes that had watched sadly and long,
Needless of slumber and repose
And with heart heavy aud sad,
That struggled between hope and fear,
/ FASTENED quickly to the bed,
Where lay my suffering Charlotte dear.
The morn had broke, but still light
Burned feebly in the lonely room
As struggling with the day. beam bright,
To drive away the shadowy gloom.

And back ward pressed it from her brow,
That face, how strangely, sadly fair
seem to look upon it now.
She mildly raised her eyes to mine,
Then wished me, with a cheerful tone,
ga Happy New Year paused and said,
"Warren, mean happy one"
81 know you'll not be happy now.
''Your buoyant spirits all have flown,
s'Sadness is brooding on your brow,
''Sadness is breathing in your tone"
That day is fled, that year is gone,
Since my loved Charlotte passed away,
But ever, as the New Years morn,
Sheds Ger me It's earliest ray;
Thought wanders back to the SAD hour,
/ saw my Charlotte lying there,
And then | hear her voice once more
And fondly smooth her dewey hair.
And when from many happy heart,
The Happy New Years wish hear,
The swelling tear. drops quickly start
My Charlottes tone is in my ear.

us to increase the terms of our Daily to seven
dollars per year-the same as those of the

A WORD TO QUOTATIONS.

1t will be seen that union of the TY;
6ane and Ielegrph, has been effected since
our last issue. We have been induced tc
enter into this arrangement, by the fact
that thus united, we can give our readers
a better paper, for the same money, than
either establishment could afford to, un-
der the old circumstances. Gin union
there is strength" and we feel now that
we shall be strong to do ourselves, and our
patrons Justice The population nor the
business of our city and county demands
three papers, land under the existing state of
things, public sentiment calls for but two
Organs-the liberal, progressive Republi-
can, and the old Hunker, Pierce and Ne
braska Democracy. Our entire popula-
ton is divided into these two parties, the
one opposed to the further extension of
Slavery. and in favor of Appropriations by
Congress for the improvement of our Har-
bors and Rivers and the protection of COM
merce, the other in favor of Legislating
Slavery into all our Territories, where it
can be made profitable, and opposed to
appropriations by Congress for the i'm
prOvement of Harbors and the protection of
Commerce except upon Salt Water.
Our paper, as heretofore, will strenuously
oppose any and every measure of the gen.
eral government, that has for its object the
extending and strengthening the institution
Of Slavery and the building up of one sec
tionof our common country, at the expense
of another. The curse of Slavery where it
already exists, we submit to, as an evil if
not necessary, at least. not easily got rid o.,
but we shall oppose, with whatever power
and influence we have, its establishment
upon another foo. of Territory. We shall
advocated as heretofore, a judiciousexpendi-
ture of portion of the public treasure in i'm
proving our Harbors and Rivers, and the
protection of our commerce, whether it be
upon salt or fresh water, and thus adding to
the general prosperity of our common
country.
AS local paper, we shall strive to make
it all it should be. The interest of our CT
ty and County win meet our first attention
Whatever tends to our home prosperity
the growth of our City and the prosperity
Of our County-will find us willing, if not
able, aiders and abettors. Whatever is cal-
culated to advance us in prosperity. elevate
us in morality and intelligence, as a COM
munity, will meet our hearty cooperation,
and'for that we shall labor to the extent of
our capabilities. BY the union of the two
papers. we shall be the better qualified to
do these things, and with the combined aid
and patronage of the friends of both, we
believe we can do them more effcctually
than when divided and to some extent with
opposing interests.

We were much gratifed by the exercises Of

We can only repeat that Mr.. Griffith is an
