No. 2. Yellow Corner, in the same room
with Mr.. Henry Wiedersheim. We hope

American Nominations.

We are SO crowded with other matter
this week that we are unable to saw any.
thing in regard to the American nomiDa
tons for President and Vice President,
but will have something to say on the
subject soon. The Americans have shown
a good deal Of wisdom in their selec; ions
the ticket is the strongest one they
could possibly have presented.
The general impression now seems tc
be that there will be three tickets in The
feld--Locofoco, Republican and Ameri
can. The battle is about commencing
and, as we wish to be in the fight early
we will take occasion to define our posi-
ton as soon as possible.

Border Ruffians.

A correspondent of the Missouri Demo-
crnt writing from Leavtnworth, K. T., on
the 18th of February, says:
The following is the sing portion of
speech made by David r. Alchison, at
Platte City, Missouri, a week or two
since. A gentleman was present who
gives the following re port Speaking of
the Constitutional Convention, Atchison
says:
"This Convention met at Topeka and
framed what they called a Constitution,
and say they intend 60 apply for admis-
sion in the Union Now, should Con-
gress admit them, aclaot wll you do? I'll
tell you what I aoiH do, if Congress ad-
mits them into the Union without law or
precedent, (nodding his head and raising
his right hand, I'll resist! But Con-
gress will do no such thing. They, the
Free State men, have held an election
and elected officers on the fifteenth of last
month, and say they intend to put their
work into operation on the 4th Of March.
Remember tie 4M Of March. If they can
not do it legally, they say they will do it
by force Of arms. They have sent their
messengers North and East, who are rails
ing money, men, arms, &c, for that pur-
pose. Now, what shall advise you to
do? | am an old man-not an Office seek
