More Candidates.

We announced in our last issue that
the convention of seceders from the Ma
tional Know-Nothing Convention which
nominated Mr.. Fillmore, had nominated
Speaker Banks for President and Ex-
Gov. Johnston of Pennsylvania for Vice
President. This was done informally,
merely to obtain an expression of the
choice Of that'bOdy. after the convention
had accepted proposition from the Re-
publicans that both parties unite upon
the same candidates, and a committee
appointed to confer with similar COM
mittee appointed by the Republicans, to
fix upon the man. .-...
These committees finally nominated
Col. John G. Fremont, of exploring noto>
riety, as Presid ent. and Hon. William L.
Dayton. an ex-U. s. Senator from New
Jersey, as Vice President. They also
adopted a platform which is all the
most ardent nigger.worshippers need
want.
1t Is said that portion of the Fillmore
Americans Of the North are not disposed
to abide by even this nomination, and
that if Speaker. Banks does not accept
the nomination. other candidates viii be
brought into the field.
Com. Stockton, the nominee of the
New Jersey delegation. accepts the nomi.
nation, and seems eager for the fray.

There were goodly number Of the

The procession was formed at about
ro@ o'clock, and proceeded to the Baptist
Church, where an excellent address was

NJ. E. Church, South, accompanied by
other appropriate services. The process.

After returning thanks to the trustees
of the Baptist Church for the use Of their
building. the orator Of the day for his adj
dress, and the brethren for their atten-
dance. the Lodge was closed.
A disposition was manifested to obtain
a copy of the address for publication, as
all who had assembled at the church to
hear it could not obtain seats, but the
modesty ofthe speaker overcame the de.
sires of the applicants. Et ".
The Fairmont Band was in attendance.

Jolly Time,
spectators,


On Tuesday week after the Masonic
procession was over, Col. B. Wilson. the
Attorney for the Commonwealth elect,
for this county, was sworn in before his
honor, Judge Camden, aud Capt. Cruger
W. Smith, the newly elected Clerk of the
Circuit Court, gave bond for the faithful
discharge of his duties. This being over
large number of gentlemen without ref
erence to party, assembled in the upper
courtroom or town-hall, where, strange
to say. they found large quantity OF
finely prepared lemonade, a portion OF
which was spiked with wine and brandy,
which was fully discussed and much en-
joyed; and upon which the party individu-
ally and collectively, qualified themselves
for any Office in the gift of the people, Tin
their own estimation p
Hon. Charles S.aLewis announced that
he was sell. constituted President Of the
meeting, and suggested that with view
of adding to the conyiviality OF the occa-
sion. that Judge Camden, Col. Wilson
and Capt. Smith, be invited 10 deliver
speeches upon the enlarged privileges Sc
cured to the citizens of our State, under
the new Constitution. The suggestion
was received with applause, and the
Judge being called for. responded in a
short interesting speech that exhibited
much wit and humor. 1t is generally
supposed that speaking gentleman gain
nothing by the want OF practice, but real
ly it seems to us, that the Judge has i'm
proved, by little rusting and laying on
the shelf. -..5 ..
Col. Wilson was next called for and
responded in fluent, well timed speech
The colonel is always ready on such oc.
casions, for. be it it understood, that on
the speaking question, the colonel has his
hand in.
Capt. Smith was also called to the
stand, and acquitted himself in highly
credltable manner, Notwithstanding he
disclaimed the idea Of being speaking
man. He congratulated the citizens Of
the county upon having secured the SER
vices of first rate Clerk. who would com,
promise with the Judge but would posi-
lively "make the lawyers toe the mark"
We have not witnessed so much old
fashioned sociabiity and good humor for
many day. Gentlemen. we wish you
would give bond and qualify soon again,
and often; provided, however. it is in the
upper courtroom, and the lemonade and
accompanying fixtures are on hand, and
we should be there.

DEAR SIR:-I hasten to reply to the note
which you handed to me between 9 and 10
O'Clock this morning.
On the 26th inst, Mr.. Buringame having
returned to the city, [ gave him written
statement of the facts in regard to my connec-
ton with his difference" with Col. Brooks,
having previously shown to you that portion
Of the same which rectes the substance Of our
conversation when | delivered to you Mr..
Burlingaine's note, and having made such al
terations your. memory suggested.
1t will be remembered that at the time you
said the place was Inconvenient, replied that
the note was responsive to the call, and that
you had not then conferred with Col. Brooks
on the subject. l thought then, and still
think, that any objection TO the place should
have been in writing and had reason to believe
that you entertained the same opinion, from
the fact that when we separated you said you
would have an interview with Col. Brooks
and would deliver to me on the next day any
communication he might deem it proper to
make.
No communication was handed to me, and
the only knowledge impaired to me or to Mr.
Burlingame of Col. Brooks Dissatisfaction a,
| to the place designated come through tie puJIit
press.
I Col. Brooks and Mr.. Burlingame having
both announced to the public that the matter
was at an end, my authority necessarily ceased
when handed to the latter my statement o
the Goth. therefore respectfully return you1
note, in order that you may take such step;
to communicate with Mr.. Burlingame as you
may deem proper

der the impression that Mr.. Burhngame would
not meet Colonel Brooks at any other place
than Canada. | so informed Colonel Brooks,

requested to say, that he expects Mr.. Burlin-
game to designate some other pace that is
convenient and acceptable to both parties, and
awaits his answer to this suggestion.

name any place of meeting within ten miles of
Washington, or accept any place that either
you or your friend may name, within one
hundred miles.

sirable.
