The 7th of Ju1y Convention.

~ The Fusion Convention assembled IL
g. Ashland to appoint Delegates for the
coz 18th of July Convention. After the
i Reorganization was effected, and the Com
mittee to appoint Delegates had retired
nao speeches were made by Mossrs PHILror,
cot BULL and SEMASs. PurLRoT commenced
O0,e by saying that he at one time thought
COL unless certain men were nominated for
State offices he would not go them, but
a. now he had made up his mind to go it
eg.r without a why or a wherefore Cheers.
or Well, this gentleman is a foreigner, an
S3s1 Englishman, but yet he is willing to
! vote for a Know Nothing in order that
a. the Democrats, might be beaten and his
COZ party be in the ascendant. He talked
Go much about the slave power and it was
- the only question at issue. He is a man
o. of extraordinary parts-in his own opin-
80 ion. Every other person is a small po-
.ssgso. cato that differs with himself He stands
about Eve and a half feet high aud looks
&C. Observation-Disclosures his physi-
CO. ognomy might denote to the contrary.
.szN ,ZsNext came Mr.. Bull of Loudonville,
.s7N who told this Convention that there
were other issues which should be ia
ca Il ken into consideration besides the Slave
7e5rTtEry question. O Frequently during his re-
Col marks he evidently showed symptoms of
So5I pitching into PH1LroT, but as often as he
81 exhibited these symp.omsL e would grad.
&C ually cave. When the Resolution simp-
sls.3 ly endorsing CHAsE's course in the Uni
ted States Senate was introduced, Mr..
% Bull evidently had an itching to pitch
O0.e Lintosh him, but through the influence of
O9,T good friends md for the good of the
CO cause, he RETAINED. Upon the whole,
Mr.. BIS remarks we're characterized
with . little more honesty than all the
coz other speakers In the language of WIN.
10tEz1s Pools, Esq that pious Know Nothing,
az Mr.. B.. is a 'etrue American, - and up
COT to this time is not Jet I" a goner."
0e,T Next came Mr.. SEMANs of Hayesville,
0o,f who desired that his brother Fusioaists
~! should make some arrangement by which
oar they could get the, spells. He for one
COT was anxious that they should run their
co., arm in Che public crib. This was the
CO.. great point in his rcmarks. In his opin-
SSss ion they might as well have tie spoils
- as any other person. This is Wing doc
.g1K Urine, but it is a +" miserable dogma.
Respectable men should shun a man who
adrosases such amonstrous doctrines,
His style Of speaking sayored strongly
o0e of an exhorting Minister at a Camp
1oirvaMeefing. This is the same gentleman
oo.f who at one time did not believe niggers
-see were hasran beings Now they are of
more Importance. So the world goes.
q oesiiEWe almost forgot to state that our
ssIsft1dsgnlfriand OSBORN spoke. His effort
was principally to keep UP the agitation,
FOR by it alone could they stand any
chance Of success. We heard him speak
