THE KNoW-NoTHING CONVENTION,

From the accounts give in another column, it
will be seen that the fact that acknowledgment is
sectional has been made apparent. The majority
resolutions passed, it seems. by the slavehod-
ing States, aided by the vote of New York; and
the New York Express says it feels bound to say
that the platform will not be approved by that
State-indeed, it says it will be repudated by all
the free States of the Union"
What now becomes of the declaration that no
Know-Nothing can be an abolitonist? The dele
gates of thirteen fourteen free States occupy
ing abolition ground, and preparing in concert to
assail the South!-s that the boasted nationality
of the Order in the Northern States? More here
after on this subject.

EXPLANATION.

We notice that Col. Sam Stowe, the K. N. candi-
date for Congress against Mr. Craige has published
a card in the York0ille, s. c., papers announcing
himself candidate, &c. It may be thought strange
by some of our North Carolina brethren that
North Carolina candidate should thus choose "for.
eign" paper through which to communicate his
pleasure to his people at home but we hasten to
lay before the public the that induced the
Colonel to do So and when that is known
confident none will blame him. The CoIoneps broth
en- oaons lNar6le- Yard at Yorh0ille, s. O., where
tomb-stones furnished, and he was killing two

stituents, and trumphantly reelected to Congress.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.-The Aurora Beacon
of the 5th inst, gives the particulars of an at
tempted murder at Montgomery, small vii
lage two miles from Aurora, on the Saturday
preceding man named John Branan attempt
ing to shoot Patrick Branan, cousin of his.
Patrick had charge of gang of hands en-
ployed in repairing the railroad track, and
John was employed under him. John was dis
charged by Patrick on account of unfaithful-
ness in his work, and John thereupon swore
vengeance against him. Armed with double
barrelled gun and two pistols, he commenced q
search for the object of his fury, Patrick in the
meantime absenting himself from home. But
he, however, secured the country until Satur-
day, when hearing that Patrick had been seen
a short time before at Palmer's store, he hast
ened thither, and finding Patrick standing
upon the platform in front of the store, pre-
sented pistol, charged with buckshot, at his
breast, and deliberately pulled the trigger.
Luckily it missed fire, and before he could re-
peat the attempt, two men standing near,
seized him, and after hard struggle succeed
ed in dsarming and binding the assassin.
After an examination, John was committed
to Jail at Geneva, to await trial.

STABBINa AT JAMEsTowN.--A correspondent
at Fairplay, Wis, writes us the particulars of
an affray which took place at shooting match
in the north part of Jamestown on the Both
ult., in which Mr. James Long was stabbed
by Orla Foot. They had both been drinking
freely, when Foot took out his knife, and pre-
tended to cut button from Longs coat
Long ordered him off, and said he did not wish
to have anything to do with thief-alluding
to former difficulty. Foot put his knife open
into his pocket, and in a deprecatory tone
said he did not mean anything. Long, how
ever, caught him by the collar or throat and
pushed him back till he fell over some wood,
when Foot took out the knife and stabbed
three or four times, Long retreating during the
time. The last stab he inflicted a dangerous
wound in the left side, cutting cash three or
four inches long and about five inches deep.
Foot was Immediately arrested, and after an
examination before Justice Anderson, in default
of 81 900 bail, was committed to Jail at Lam
caster. Long was still alive on the 9th, and
some hopes were entertained of his recovery.

holds its little sacrifices to be due as much to
its lonely companions as to the high. Instead
Of it we see in great abundance sort of false
courtesy which can exist on friendly terms
with selishness and makes display of itself
only ON particular occasions when something
can be made by the operation. An incident
came under my observation the other day in a
city rail car which cannot forbear relating,
as it was highly instr uctive to that class of
well-dressed men who seem to think that moth
ing can be claimed from them on the score of
politeness by people Of an inferior position to
themselves. l was standing on the platform
of somewhat crowded car when plain el-
derly lady in black came in. The seats were
all occupied by men who were by no means
inclined to resign the luxury, until gentle
man in the farther end of the car arose and
offered her his seat, which she after politely
declining upon his solicitation, accepted. Pres
emily beautiful and richly dressed young la
dy entered, and straightway four or five seats
were offered her simultaneously. She evidently
did not wish to disturb any body; but with
the sweetest of smiles she took the seat nearest
In few minutes the car stopped for weary
looking poor woman with bundle, who, tho
she would miss her half dime at supper had
ventured its expense in hope of resting her
tired frame as she rode home to her little one
She cast one glance around and saw she was
disappointed. No gentleman moved. The
young lady with the lovely face Gust such an
one as Raphael was fond of painting) looked
at each of the four men who had shown an
eagerness to be polite when she had entered,
and with the same heavenly smile insisted that
the poor woman should take her place. With
q most surprised and greatful look she hesitat-
ingly complied, while the young lady remained
standing till the car began to empty ITSELF
The whole took only moment, but I will ven
ture to say that no man present there will ever
again subject himself to the liability of being
thus rebuked. NOUS VERRONS.

AN ODE TO LAMB.

Hind quarters Of the type of innocence,
Whether with sauce and mint ] must dispense,
Or 90 the twain, blaspheming the expense,
And thus enjo thee In the fullest sense
That is the question.
Rear section Of young mutton, tender food,
Just in the dawn of grass-fed juicyhood:
Datnties like thee should not be served up nude,
But graced with all the trimmings understood
To help digestion.
Then boil the peas, the fragrant mint prepare,
Be thou, prime joint, not overdone, nor rare;
Concoct the gravy with exceeding care;
When all is ready, serve-I shall be there
always am.
lncipient sheep meat, when on thee dine,
Hot be the plates and icy cold the wine:
Three slices midway of the leg be mine;
Then put the rest away-for very fine
