81. Louis, July Pro-Siapsry Conren-
ti1a.--The Lexington MOI Convention
met on the 18th. A large number Of dele
gaies were present After temporary or
ganzatloD, Senator Atchlson ana Col Don't
phan were called upon to address the Con-
vention, but declined. Other gentlemen ad-
dressed the meeting, and expressed theln-
selves IN favor of establishing slavery IN
Kansas by all lawful means.
The Convention was permanently orga-
nlzed by the choice of W. 4. Wood as pres
ldlng officer.
Resolutions were introduced, requesting
the Legislature of Missouri to pass acts re-
taliatory upon, and discriminating against the
products Of the States Of Massachusetts,
Vermont aud Michigan.
Presl lent Shannon, Of the University, BY
invitation, delivered an address setting forth
the Bible arguments in favor of slavery. His
speech was very ultra and inflammatory. -
There was much excitement. and some Of
the propositions offered at the meeting were
strongly objected to. The Convention is
still IN session at latest accounts.

Yesterdays State Convention was TO meet
at Ludlow, for the purpose Of nominating n
Temperance State Ticket. This Conven-
was called by Tom Powers and Guy c.
Sampson and others. One of the Others"
in writing to the Temperance STANDARD I'D.
miis that there is no reason 20 fear that Gov.
Royce will exert any direct influence against
the present law. Indeed after Gov. Royce's
declaration in his message, zoe think it fair to
infer that his influence will be given to sus.
tain and improve the law. Tom prepar-
ed and Guy supported the resolution Of the
18th Of July 1854 on the Liquor Law, which
the Burlington Convention re-adopted. In
Gov. Roycc's message, in his course on the
execution of the law, and IN his character
as man, they have evidence that he is
sound on this question; yet they nre not sat
isied. We hope Tom will be set up for
Governor and Sampson for Liutenant and
/ in that event. it may reasonably be expect
ed that the verdict Of the people in Septem.
Der next will be perfectly satisfactory.
We learn that an effort Is being made for
a privately called Wing State Convention at
White River Junction the design being to
get up a fusion Of Rum Wings and the 10
cofocos, ostenslby against Know Nothing
ism-1 iavorite plan with the Patriot, Red
faces and Dough-hces would contrast well ;
but there are not enough Of them in Yer
mont to fill moderately sized picture-frime.
The same thing has been attempted in Maine,
while in New York some Of the X. n.
Wings have entered into similar specula-
ton. All this only goes to show that loco
focoism and rummies are ready to run into a.
ny port TO escape the coming storm Of popu-
lar indignation

We learn from the Newark Mercury of
,nu 10th, that at the general meeting OF the
American Council IN that city on Saturday
evening, the 10Th section of the philadel-
phia platform was rejected by very deci.
sve vote. The meeting was well attended
aud the debate on the subject was quite gen
eral, resulting in the above action.
The Mercury understands that the
friends of the southern platform were con.
fident that Newark would endorse il on ac-
count Of her close relations with the South,
but this hope being gone, there is no longer
any doubt as TO the action Of the State
Council.
The same Journal further states that rev
er has It seen greater unanlmIty of feeling
throughout the State among the old Wing
Journals than at the present time. They
stand, almost with one accord, upon the plat
form of opposition to slavery extension, and
with bold and manly language utter their
denunciatlons Of the pro-slavery plank
adopted by the Philadelphia Convention
They have discarded all low aud groAellng
ideas by which success is To be purchased Il

mously prefer defeat to dishonnr.

The American party is not dead as Wal

been split into X. Ms. and X. S's--a X n.

Vermont, the X. Ms. at Burlington have
backed out from all but the shadow of X.
Nsm; so that even aviation g. Co." and
every body else, can subscribe to every word
of their platform as far as it goes. If the
Vermont X. Ms. choose to carry out in good
faith the work Of cooperation which they
profess to have begun, they will Of course,
with all other true friends OF Freedom in
Vermont, be requited with honorable sue

Col. Benton on The administrations Col
Benton has written a letter SLOWING the sad
consequences Of the removal Of MIR. Beale
from the office of Superintendent Of Indian
Affairs 10 California. We copy the con-
GLIDING portion of the letter
have said the Indians in California are
killed like snakes and dogs. OF this You
may see accounts IN every paper but must
give you one which | read IN the Spanish
part Of n Los Angeles paper. II recites thai
the Judge OF the district, on his way home
from Judicial examination in case of SUI
eide, fell IN with two Indians m u most
lumenLlJle condition. Their heads were
pounded and mashed up so that they could
not speak. Going TO the place and examn-
ing some large bloody stones and comparing
them with the mashed up heads, 1t was seen
that the Indians had been thus pounded while
living down asleep. The editor ndds that II
was uncertain whether any Inquiry would be
made into 1t. This Is what | call killing In
dams like snakes.
Beale was obliged 10 he removed because
he went upon the central route to help BEN
ton and because he would not work in the
elections. Henley was preferred over others,
because, while relied upon TO work faithful
" IN the elections, (which he has done he
also had something IN hand to go to another,
VIZ; the place of postmaster al San Fran
cisco, which went to Senator Weler's broth
er, when Beale's office was give to Henley.
Time tcas when officials were forbid to
work in elections; time is, and that now,
when that working seems to be the condition
on which office is obtained and retained.
