Rig Lot. of Hnps

Messrs. Orr & Laughlin received few days
ago from Mr.. JOS. Gale, of Gibson county
near Cynthiana, lot of fifty hogs, which aver
aged 1862 pounds! This is the finest average
lot of hogs we have noticed this season receiv-
ed by any packers in this region. Gibson
county appears to be excelling all the other
counties in ''the Pocket this year, in big hogs
We have already noticed several extra lots
from there, with one or two mammoth hogs
Mr.. Gale was one of the fortunate sellers who
received Sc per hundred for his hogs. He
received his pay for the above lot and good
many more, in gold and departed heavy.

The Philadelphia Convention

NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT AND VICE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
The contest for the next Presidency is
now fairly commenced. The National
Convention of the Know Nothing or
American party, which has had an excl
ting and apparently troublesome time Of it
in Philadelphia, last Monday succeeded i'm
making nominations for President and
Vice President of the United States, chos-
ing Willard Fillmore. Of New York, as
their candidate for the former, and An.
drew J. Doneson, of Tennessee, as the
candidate for the latter-both on the frs,
ballot. 5#EE f t1Eff' .
There had been a selious division in ST
disruption of the convention, however, be-
fore this result vas attained, and appears
to be triumph o! the more southern wing
Of the party. Many were opposed tc
making nominations at all at this time. and
when the resolution for proceeding 10 a
ballot had been carried, there was Sc
cession of the delegates from Connecucut
Massachusetts Rhode Island, Ohio, and
portions OF tue Illinois, Iowa, and Penn
sslvania delegations. The original num-
Der oil delegates in the convention was, we
believe, nearly three hundred-but when
the vote on the nomination for Presiden,
as cast there were but 242 voting, OF
winch Mr.. Fillmore received IT'S. On
the Vice Presidency the smaller number
OF 210 votes were cast, Mr.. Donclson re.
ceiying 1S1. The convention adjourned
sine die Bat. Sun.
