"By what rule the late Wing Convention,
as they derominate themselves, which assem-
bled at Baltimore to nominate o candidate for
President, made so vital distinction between
Mr.. Fillmore and the Know Nothing party
VIXEN they made him their candidate, repudl-
ated his platform, ard claimed their ahnerenGe
to their original party and its principles. ~
appears to US that this position Involves 50
glaring an inconsistency, and Is so disrepusa
Bile to the sedate deliberations OF q consoh
ton, that il will bsfie the powers OF logic ana
metanb 1sics TO reconcile it.. Some convenient
casuistry nav saw that it is admissible to hate
the treason and hug the traitor, (hguratively
speaking uv,:

themselves ultimately in the conventicle,

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE.

GEoRGErows, Oct. 2, 1856.
We have sometimes wondered why our Cor
poration has never provided by law for the sp-
poiutment Of some suitable person to superin-
tend the measuring Of corn, oats, &c. Tie
two articles named enter largely into the trade
of our city, and it seems to US that the matter
is one of sufficient Importance to require some
municipal regulation. The present irrespon.
sible system of any individual, who may think
proper to do SC, hanging out his single and
setting up for measurer, may possibly be well
enough, but it really does seem to us that the
measurement of articles Of trade OF 80 much
Importance, in which thousands of dollars are
constantly being invested, ought to be super.
intended by some person acting under the
solemnity of an oath. And if it was necessary
to our present purpose, we could produce facts
sufficient to prove that our opinions are correct.
The site selected by Secretary Guthrie for
the custom house and post Office building, so
far as our inquiries (whi,h have been pretty
| extensive) have gone, seems to give very gen.
eral satisfaction.
The weather has become rather uncomfort-
ably cool, and this morning we had quite a
heavy frost
We learn from Capt. Merrill, OF the packet
Argo, that the supply of water upon the upper
portions of the Canal has become something
better, and that boats from Cumberland are
| again beginning to make start.
The -four market remains steady at So S7ta
81. Wheat continues to arrive quite freely,
and is selling at 81 40aSl IS for red and
white.
