BOsTON, June 90.
a meeting of the Know Nothings in the
Eleventh Ward in this city was addressed by
Senator Wilson and Governor Gardner The
former confined his speech to the subject of the
Philadelphia National Convention, asserting
that it was the desire of the Massachusetts
delegation to avoid the question of slavery
which was forced upon them by the South, and
they were obliged to meet 1t then and there.
Mr.. w. said seventeen Of the committee on
platform supported the majority resolutions
principally coming from States where the
American party had been defeated, and they
were represented by fourteen representatives OF
1l6 electoral votes, in States where the Amer
lean party had triumphed.
The delegates from Georgia were in for Geo
Law for President, and six from Pennsylvania
and one from New York were in favor of Mr.
Dickinson. Mr.. w. said that George Gard
ner told the South that not town nor city in
Massachusetts would support the majority
platform, and that Mr.. Brooks, of the n. Y.
Express, had said that the whole North would
support the platform.
1t was attempted in the convention to put
him down and put him (Wilson) out, when Gov
Gardner declared that if such was the result
he would leave. Mr.. w. was very severe on
the doughface delegation from New York,
whom he charged with keeping the mass lie
cation from the Council "a hours after the
proceedings commenced.

Extraordinarily a gentleman was
robbed Of $3.50 in money in Galena, and
suspecting some parties, he came on here
to see if he could find them. His search
was successful, owing to the fact that the
robbers had offered $500 on the old Pitts
burgh Bank at the bank Of Macubin 4
Edgerton, with the request to know wheth-
er it was good This created suspicion,
which resulted in the arrest of the person
offering the note and his companion, and
on being searched, $l75 of the lost money
was discovered. The culprit plead bitterly
for release, as it was his first offence, and
after giving up his watch and some other
valuables, he was permitted to depart, which
he did in double quick time. He came out
here well recommended.

THE THEATRE was crowded again on
Thursday evening, to witness the represen

ill-efects of incomplete rehearsing, the play
was acted with vigor, spirit, feeling and
efect,which was unexpected, and certainly
most gratifying Miss. St. Clair and Mr..
Allen were perfect in their several parts,
and Mr.. Bernard made some very effective

The Wing Party Dead.

The Msnmesotion of yesterday contains a
regular obituary notice Of the decease of
the Wing party, and offers its open declara-
ton Of adhesion to the "great Republican
army" thing made up something like
Joseph's coat, of all isms, and east off shades
and remnants of sickly parties Slavery
has shivered the wing party, it says, and it
sets up that bugbear as the ,naonstrum Aor
rendum which has swallowed that old line
Of partizans whose leaders were. Clay, Web
ster, Adams and others, forgetful entirely
that with the decease Of these great states
men, the true life Of the Wing party really
went out, and that it has since been always
seeking to appropriate to itself or foist
itself upon, every popular movement, no
matter what, by which votes, power and
spols might be obtained. Verify the Wing
party, as a party, is very dead 1t cannot
come any more to the contest as it did
when the clarion tones of Clay rang out
when Webster Numbered, and when Adams
piped in the shrill, broken voice Of venerable
age, the words Of power, to keep the party
in some degree united. 1t has been frittered
away; until of the old line scarce corporal's
guard is left to cling to the ancient banner,
which has Aoated in so many fierce fights
with its tried enemy, the Democracy Of
the nation. And SO, being weak and poor,
the MsnmesOtiam quietly kicks it overheard,
very much after the spirit and fashion that
the jackass kicked the dead lion, and goes
heart. and soul into the fusion and ism
party, falsely denominated Republican,
making Slavery the pretence to hide the
lust of power.
Republican Knew Nothingism has seen
its best days. 1t went up like rocket,
and is coming down like the stick, and it is
really matter for regret, to see the Minmeso-
tiam throwing itself away upon that great
republican army" which is made up of all
sorts of antagonistic elements, which is held
together ouly by the hope of public plumber,
and which, if unfortunately it should march
into power, will split at once into fragments,
in angry quarrels over the spoils.. ~ - 80.

Night Police.


1--WE have heard from well Informed per-
sons tina: numerous depredations have re-
Gently been committed in this city, by some
persons, at night Valuable property has
been taken, and there is little or no hope of
its recovery, for the reason that owing to
the absence of even the fear of a night
watch, the providers after plumber are ena-
bled to choose their own time, and make
the most Of every opportunity. Any one
who reflects for a moment, will see that
where there is no watch ON the premises,
such as dog, ample opportunity is given
for theft, and indeed the very openness and
trustfulness with which property is left un-
protected in many places, constitutes an in
vitation to the thief. When the town was
smaller, there were but few instances of
robbery, but the times ure materially chan
ged, and it is certain that Saint Paul pos
sesses at this present time Set of men who
eat, drink, smoke and take their ease, have
money always, do no work, and have no
visible means Of support. Several of them
have been under suspicion for some time,
but as there is no proper check to any law
less operation which any one or all of them
might plan, they can easily do as they wish,
and elude justice. We speak adyisedly,
when we say that we have in our commun-
ity men who live by stealing, but who are
adroit enough to escape actual detection,
though they cannot and do not avoid car
nest suspicion.
They should he rooted out, and made an
example of, but it will be hard to lay hands
on them or any other evil-doer during the
night, unless night police is appointed
II the duty of patrolling was con6ded to
four good men, the amount saved from be-
ing stolen would amply repay the cost OF
their salaries and in this view of the mat
ter, our merchants, especially, would consult
their own interests and pecuniary safety by
aiding to establish and maintain this force
Those who steal little will soon forget
their fears, and venture in larger operations.
Already some of our stores have been bro
ken open and robbed, and one of these oc-
currences took place only few nights ago.
If the raScals had reason to fear the quiet
step of detective officer, their fears would
return, and their operations he stopped
One other thing in favor Of the estab-
lishlnent of Il night police may be mentioned,
and that is, the members Of it would con-
stitute timely alarmists in case of fire. This
is a very important consideration, and de,
serves to be we'll regarded. ....
All things considered there is q strong
necessity for the measure, ana if our City
Fathers will but con it over, we are sure
they will come to the conclusion that it is
what the city strongly requires Our mer-
chants, we have no doubt, would aid by pri'
vate contribution in defraying the cost.
