The Abolition Know Nothing Cauldron.

AdderS fork and blind worms sting,
Lizards leg and owlets wing
For charm OF powerful trouble,
Like hell-broth boil and bubble"
The Northern Know Nothings in Convention in
New York, have nominated N. P Banks, present
Speaker of the House, for President, and w. F.
Johnston, of Pennsylvania, for Vice President The
candidates voted for were Banks: Judge Mclean,
Fremont, and Tom Corwin and Banks was nomi-
mated on the tenth ballot. The States of Maine,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio Michigan,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Delaware, Iowa, and the Terri
tories of Oregon, Minnesota and Kansas were repre-
sented.
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
Nothings that he hoped Gin November next there
would be on the part of the American people dec
aration 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, bolted 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
account of North Carolina delegates being present,
though it is rumored that some went on. The Dol.
ters 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.
venton held week or two snce 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
lgence from the blask Republicans:
