From the CleaYeland Exnret

THE DIvIsIoN.-The result of the recent Ameri
can National Convention is known. The party, un.
able to agree upon the Slavery question, very pro.
perly divided. The Northern delegates withdrew,
issued an address to the people, and look steps pre-
paratory to holding Convention of the order, in the
Northern States. This is what we desired, and we
rejoice that it has been brought about thus early in
the existence of the party. Our opponents may fiat
ter themselves that the party is ruined because it is
divided-but the delusion is short-Iived. Absoved
from all connection with the South, relieved from the
oboquy of slavery alliance, free from even the sus
picon of proslaverysm, il will unite the anti savery
element Of the North, and sweep locofocoism from
every free State Instead of being weakened by d.
vision, we to-day stronger than Every free
State will be with US, Even New York, which was
misrepresened in the Convention, will join the North

took place there yesterday, between Messrs Reid and
Wnslow, before large and respectable audience of
the freemen of rupn county. Mr.. Reid made his
usual speech. Mr. Winsow's effort was exceedingly
able, and far the almost universal Judgment of
the audience concerned, it was complete tri-

with which his remarks were greeted, and the feel

Reid was cheered 10 his work by the applause OF one
