Know-Nothing Convention-The North
Bolted

The National Know Nothing Conven-
ton recently assembled in Philadelphia, was
a very boisterous body, and resulted in
split, on the slavery question. The Com
mittee on Platform, composed Of MAORI
ty of Northern men, adopted resolutions in
favor of the peculiar views of the party-in
favor of the laws of the Union and the I'M
ion of the States-against law breakers,
agitators, and old fogy politicians, &c., &c.
The Northern members, led on by Senator
Wilson, of Massachusetts, seeded, and have
set up for themselves, and go the entire abo-
lition views of the Northern fanatics. We
will give condensed statement of the pro-
ceedings hereafter. The Southern, or I'm
ion branch of the order, backed as they are
by some of the strongest free States, will
doubtless be able to make q successful stand
ard organization. The order will be stron-
ger and cleaner, being clear Of the abolition
ISIS, and they having seeded, the country
will be able tc judge of their strength and
temper, when they make q distinct organi-
cation, and go to work on their own respon-
sibility. They are traitors to the Union,
and with Jackson for President, we should
soon have an example made of some other
leaders which would qickly dispense them.

Extensive Establishment-Large Stool

Extensive Establishment-Large Stock.
We took walk the other day through
the Extensive Grocery Establishment of
Messrs. THOMSON, LEWIS s. Co., which
we found filled with such stock Of goods
as was never before offered for, sale in this
market. They occupy the two Northern
store rooms, in Union Block, fronting on
Water Street. These stores are ninety feet
deep, by twenty-five wide, two floors to
each store, which gives as much actual house
room, as the whole business of Glasgow &C.
cupied few years since, yet they have not
room enough, so extensive and varied is
their stock, including almost every article
the retail merchant, the farmer, the mechan-
ic, or the house-keeper's wants may require.
We venture the assertion that persons in
town or from the country, who daily pass
their doors, and deal at their counters, who
have not gone through their establishment,
as we have, have but faint idea of the ca
pacity of their rooms, and the immense
amount ofgoods stored in them. We adj

surfing them they will not regret it, and be-
fore they get through they will find some

THE Laborer Worthy his Hire :"

We have always supposed there was
little-jus' a lHle--personal ambition at the
bottom of the intense slavery excitement that
has ragged in the Western counties, Gas well
as in some not so far West for some
time past, but did not expect 10 see it above
ground, until the assembling Of the propos-
ed State Convention. The Platte .ArguS,
however, has brought the subject up-or
rather some of its correspondents. A pub
lie meeting is TO be held in Platte, TO instruct
her Representatives on the subject Of the
Senatorial election. In the same paper that
contains this announcement, ".fn Old Wig"
correspondent comes out hat-footed for D.
r. Atchison, and contends that he is the on
y man in the State that is sound enough to
be elected 10 the United States Senate, says
"the election Of ANY other man from Mis-
souri, al This time, ,could be hailed by the .Ab-
oliioniSts as GREAT VIcToRY"!
That cold Wing" has very poor opin-
ion of the many talented and distinguished
persons with whom he has been acting for
years, and Of The hosts of distinguished
democrats in the State, who are as sound as
Atchison, on the slavery question, and much
better qualified for Legislating the South out
of difficulties, than he is-and not SO likely
to involve her in trouble. We should want
TO flee the State of our nativity, when the
people deliberately come 10 the conclusion
that a man so wanting in all the qualities of
Statesman as Atchson, is the only person
fit to represent them in the Senate of the U.
S. A reckless demagogue, deficient in ev-
cry point of view, for the stationto which he
aspires, he has only gained place and pow
er by party discipline, and can only keep
above water on the waves of an excitement
he and his tools have cunning enough to
get up, but not discretion enough to allay
Such men should be kept out of the councils
of the nation, if it be desirable the Union
and Government bequeathed to us by patriot
fore-fathers should be perpetuated.
The "St. Joseph Cycle" copies portion
Of the communication of ian old Wing" re-
plies to it at length, concluding as follows,
which may be read with profit, and will
perhaps set some persons to thinking about
matters that have been lost sight of lately
"Query? Does this proposition of can
Old Whig' furnish key to the undue en-
ctement that has disturbed certain locali-
ties in our State? If it does, then the cat S
out Of the bag, and there will be some hop
ping and skipping among politicians before
the ides of November. We have been pro-
SLAVERY and have gone and will go, as far as
he who may go farthest in defence of our
Constitutional rights, but we have never
dreamed of making it a hobby horse upon
which Atchison might ride into the United
States Senate. That election is another
question, and we opine there are Wings in
Missouri as sound as Atchison and in abili-
ty "head and shoulders taller" We be-
lievc we have written and spoken in defence
Of our Southern view of slavery, but we
have never yet gassed about it 10 promote
Atchison's election. We hope others can
plead not guilty.

Wharf.-The wheat is rapidly getting
ready for cutting, and we observe our far
mers are making preparations for harvest.
A good deal will be cut this week, but next
will be harvest week. The crop is not a
good one, and will be below an average yield
IN quantity. In many places it does not RI
pen regularly, but in patches; the backward
portions will not be worth cutting, having
taken a second growth, after the spring
drowth, which prevented heading.

Why Cities grow Westwardly.

The Academy OF Science in Paris have
been investigating the causes which al
most invariably makes the west end of a
city grow more, and become more fash.
ionable than the east. "It arises from
the atmosphere" answers the Academy
Of Science. The wind which causes the
greatest Of the barome,ric col.
umn is that Of the east, and that which
io@ers it tnostis The west. When the
latter blows, i. has the convenience OF
carrying with it to the eastern parts of a
town al; The deletrious gases which it
meets in lis passage over the western
parts, and the inhabitants of the east.
ern part OF a town have 10 supper. no,
only their own smoke and miasma, blu,
those Of the western par, of the town,
brought TO them by west winds. When,
on the contrary, the east wind blows, il
puri6es the air, by causing 10 ascend the
pernleious emana,ions which it cannot
drive to The west. The deduction from
this law it,, that the western par. of a
city is the best place Of residence for
persons Of delicate health, and ,ha. all
establishments from which emana,e per.
nicious vapors and gases, should be placed
to the east. There seems TO be good
philosophy in these conclusions.
