at Cincinnati on the 23d, to nominate delegates to
the Republican State Convention to be held at Co

two calls had been published-one for the 23d, and
another for the 7th Julya good deal of excitement

True Americans I'm Ohio.

We have chronicled the determination OF
the Americans Of Ohio to repudiate the bogus
ticket headed by Chase, and pledged to sin
gle and sectional issue. We have shown that
the chief candidates upon that ticket have
sought foreign aid, and declared that there
should be no change in the present laws of
naturalization or suffrage.
The first indignant response to this auda-
cious attempt to defeat American principles by
the American organization, was the nomina-
ton of the veteran Trimble as the true Ameri-
can candidate for Governor. This occasioned
an immediate withdrawal from the Chase tick
ct and its indignant denunciation by thou
sands. The true Americans avow their hos
tility to the administration, and condemn the
Missouri repeal, but have no idea of resorting
to any illegal means to resist or nullify the
laws. Nor viii they tolerate either the doc
tiines of higher law, notification, or a war
Of sections.
Whilst we do not agree with the American
party in Ohio, that the sectional question
should be discussed or disturbed, but contend
that the provisions Of the Philadelphia Plat
form viii be found, in the end, the only con-
sentative doctrine. We are greatly gratifed
to witness their intense indignation against the
disunionists and nulifers, we do not doubt
but when such violent enemies Of peace and
union as Wade, Chase, and Giddings shall de-
velop their desperate purposes the true Ameri-
cans Of Ohio win be forced to forego their pre-
iudices against the institutions Of other States,
and forget their hostility to an administration
fast sinking into imbecility and oblivion, to
rally with the friends Of sectional peace, and
sectional harmony, in defence Of the rights Of
the States, and the union Of the States

LYNCH LAW IN MARYLAsD.-We learn from the
Baltimore Patriot, that the first case Of lynching,
on record In America, occurred on Kent Island,
Maryland The Jurisdiction of Lord Baltimore ex-
tended, by his grant, not OILY over the islands of
the Chesapeake Bay, but was SUPP osed, at one
time, to comprise the whole Of the peninsula now
forming the lower part Of the State Of Delaware
On his arrival 10 the Chesapeake, Leonard Calvert
learned that the colony, founded by William Clai-
borne, was already settled on Kent Island, which
acknowledged the authority of Virginia, and sent
delegates to its councils As the territorial limits
Of Virginia did not extend TO the upper waters Of
the Chesapeake, Leonard Calvert demanded Of Clai-
borne a recognition Of the proprietary rights Of
Lord Baltimore, and reputation Of those Of the
Virginia Company. This Claiborne refused; claim
ing to hold his little principally under distinct
grant from, u we remember rightly, Sir William
Alexander. At all events, the dispute could not
be reconciled, and, at length, grew TO such a
height that Calvert determined to visit the island
in person and assert the prerogative Of bis brother
Tradition then goes on to say, that resenting this
intrusion, Claiborne ordered Calvert to be seized,
soundly whipped, and sent or the island without
delay From this period It is supposed that the
feud assumed more sahgiinary hue; boat at
tack ensued, in which one Of Calvert's men was
killed, and for which one Of Claibornes was subse-
quently executed. Then followed the fight Of
Claiborne; his voyage to England, his return to-
Maryland, and, after various turns Of fortune, his
final settlement in Virginia Such is the tradition
still cxtant among the descendants of William
Claiborne, founded probably upon some incident
connected with the progress Of the feud, but in
connection with which we have no reason to be-
lieve that Leonard Calvert was either an actor or
a sufferer.

murder was because Of defence of the principles Of

Facts for the People.

We commence to-day the publication Of ex-
tracts from a very valuable pamphlet, under
the above title, prepared for committee of the
American Order in this city, by amembcr Of the
American Organ Association, and intended for
general distribution. The facts set forth are au
thentic and equally appropriate to every portion
Of the Union. We apprehend that the anti
American press win find these facts unanswera-
bic by their ordinary argument Of dark lantern
mystery, and their pious whine about religious
persecution. The alarming fact that foreign
influence is flowing into this country as
water through the sifted seams Of a sinking
ship, are too obvious. When political power is
forming at the rate Of at least five States per
annum, when the ignorance, restitution, and
wickedness Of Europe, is poured in all its I'M
fermented corruption, upon the rational and
respectable population Of the United States,
how can il be possible that our people can
much longer preserve the example or the in
stittions Of their ancestorsY

The Pope in Terrible Fright.

RoME, August 81, 1855.
On Monday last his Holiness had terrible
fright, whilst taking his evening drive outside the
Porta del Popolo, and was in imminent danger of
coming in for another, which might have been at
tended with more fatal consequences than the ever
memorable downfall Of St. Agnese. numerous
party of Minenti and Trasteverin had been cee-
brating some matrimonial or baptismal solemnity
by grand jolli6cation at Tofane's tavern, near
the Ponte Mole, and were returning towards the
Porta del Popolo, in several carriages, when two
of the coachmen, rendered reckless by wine, and
taking the straight road, two miles long, between
the bridge and the gate, for sort of natural hip
podrome, started off full gallop for chariot race.
The Pope's cortege was coming in the opposite d.
rection, and the outriders, belonging to the noble
guard, who always precede his carriage some dis.
lance, endeavored In vain to stop the flying Jehus.
1t is etiquette here for every one who meets the
Pope to stop his carriage and get out to kneel in
the road, whilst his Holiness passes but in the
present case the usual routine reversed for the
aourished sabres Of the noble guard proving in
effectual to check the mighty rush of the Traste-
verni, 1t was the Popes turn, with the instinct of
selfpreservation TO pull up and make himself and
suit small possible, to avoid coming in contact
with the furious charioteers one of whom was
finally stopped by party Of gendarmes, whilst
the other turned dexterousy and fed back to the
bridge with as much celebrity as he had come from
1t. The captured party, consisting Of three fat
men and three jolly gold-chaned and ear-ringed
danes, insisted on getting out to receive the Popes
benediction before going to prison, roaring out
Non sidmo Iarchi," and appealing to cardinals
monsignor, and guards, of all descriptions against
the severity Of the gendarmes, to whom one anx-
ious husband in vain explained that his lady was
in an interesting situation, and the least harshness
might be fatal to her.
At the Porta Angelica near the Vatican, the
Popes carriage was stopped by an assemblage Of a
different character, crowd OF the poorer people,
clamorously assuring his Holiness that they could
not live at the present price Of bread. The gentle
violence Of the noble guard, and the Pope's own
assurances Of speedy redress got him safe through
at last.

"A Case N Point.

The anti-American party in this city, as our
readers viii recollect, made great uproar for sew
eral weeks after the late election, because as they
asserted, naturalized citizens were prohibited from
voting. We exposed the filsi,y OF this assertion,
pretty thoroughly At the time, and the result Of
the investigation ordered by the Councils subse-
quently gave the charge effeetual quietus.
And HOW We have something TO record in con-
nexion with this matter which il especially worthy
OF remari.
IL appears by an investigation of the joint con.
mittee of the Councils, on the qualification of Off
GERS, that VIM. Clampitt, who was elected an AS
SCISSOR by the anti-Americans Of the Second Ward
is non-matvalized foreigner, and, therefore, I'M
qualified for Office. Mr.. Clampitt accordingly re-
turns to the ranks Of private life.
II seems, therefore, that the administration
party in this city are so enamored of foreigners and
SO determined to place them in Office, to the ex-
clusion of native-born Americans, that they are
unwilling to wait even until they are naturalized
before investing them with the power and emou-
ment which Office confers Is such party en-
titled to the confidence and respect of native
born American citizens? Can such party reason
ably complain If its opponents denominate it the
