Gov Johnston, the nominee for Vice President
in the course of some remarks, said that he be-
longed to the class of American people called Know
Nothngs that he hoped Gin November next there
would be on the part of the American people dec.
laration of American principles, such as would
restore the government to its former purity and
that without united effort they could not defeat
the Democracy of the United States"
Before these nominations were made, the New
Jersey delegation, with few members from other
States, boltcd, and held meeting at another point
in the City. Of the slaveholding States Georgia,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and Maryland were
represented in this Stockton concern, by delegates
who were hanging round seeking chance to fra
ternize with their abolition brethren. We see no
account of North Carolina delegates being present.
though it is rumored that some went on. The boil.
tiers nominated Commodate Stockton, of New Jer-
sey, for President, and Kenneth Rayner, of North
Carolina, for Vice President. New Jersey was the
most conspicuous State in this movement and the
bolt was made as soon as the delegates from that
State perceived that Stockton would not be the NOM
inee for President of the regular Convention. The
Know Nothings of New Jersey, in their State Con-
vention held q week or two SINCE denounced the
repeal of the Missouri line as "intamous" These
are the persons who have nominated Mr. Rayner
for Vice President.
The regular Convention adjourned until Thurs
day, in order that they might hear from the black
Republican Convention, in session in Philadelphia.
The calculation was that the two Conventions would
unite on the same ticket We give the latest INTEL
ligence from the black Republicans:

.W The New York papers contain full accounts
of that modern Pandemonium of traitors the North
ern Know Nothngs, in session there last week and
portion of this No man can read these accounts
without being struck with the malignant spirit and
essential meanness of disposition which pervaded
the deliberations of the concern. The prominent
actors were Colby, of New Hampshire, Johnston,
of Pa, Conrad of the same State, and George Law,
of New York. This man George Law was prom
inent candidate for the Know Nothing nomination
for President in February last but defeated by
Mr. Fillmore. We give the following as specimen
of his posoers from the New York News:
"George Law oNew York then took the floor aud receiv

he used to drive them when boy he had objection to

trust the reemen of the North He would like

be in few days. Their road had been rough
heretofore but there would be perfect plain Tuesday
| next. Mr. Law resumed his seat amid loud cheers.
On moon OF the President three cheers given for

Mr.. Law declares that the " members of the Con-
venton represented the North and the South" We
should like to know what Southern delegates dared
to show their faces in this abolition conclave Mr..
Laws reference to Tuesday in his speech, meant
that on that day they would have the concurrence
and the aid of the black Republicans assembled in
Philadelphia.
