Banks moy withdraw in favor Of Fremont, and
Stockton will BE- like ely to 90 down in the great
political whirlpool. Should Fillmore and Banks
withdraw, many Of those who would vote for
these gentlcmcn, will cast their votes for Frc-
mont. Should Fillmore, however. withdraw in
favor of Buchanan, (Which we will not believc),
and should the South and Pennsylvania unitcdiv

his election, because the Northern nti-S'avery
vote would BE- divided on Fremont. Banks.

TUESDAY, JUNE "a, 1856.
THE CELEBRATION.

We think it almost needless for US to aifude to
this matter again, except briefly, and that is to
urge citizens to enter heartily into the festv-
tiles of the occasion. The coronation Of mon
arch, or the Inauguration Of a President, are
periods in the history of every country worthy
the countsnance of the people, and, il these days
elicit interest, why should not the coronation Of
SCIENCE: and the dedication Of building to be
devoted to its holy purposes? dny spent By
our citizens, as to-day should be, VII do much
towards giving US standing and reputation
abroad, and directing the public mind into a
channel which will be Of incalculable benefit to
future generations. We trust all who possibly
can will taks part in the proceedings, and thereby
aid in advancing the onward progress of our city
and territory.

ted by States, when Mr.. Wilmot reported plat
form, the reading Of which was frequently inter-
rupted By loud cheers. The Anti-SlaveTy plank
was especially spplsodsd. The resolution refer
ing to the Ostend Circular was received wish
cheers. Thc Pacific Railroad resolution was al
so greeted and three cheers given for California.
The following are ON the Committee On plat

FREMONT NOMINATED. a
The following are ex latest dispatches from
Philadelphia.
After a discussion, the who,e platform was
adopted. A motion was then made to proceed
to haloting, when on the lst ballot all the
New England States went boldly for Fremon.,
except IL votes fer Mclean. New York gave 90
for Fremont. - 4a
The Convention re-assenbled at 5 r. n, and
being called to order By the President be anaoun-
eed that the chairman Of the Rspublean Natios-
al Executive Committee had communicatiou to
present to the Convention. Hon. E. d. Mergan
then presentsd the communication from the Com
mi;tee appointed by the North American Con-
vcntion at New York, stating that in pursuance Of
resolution of that Convention, they had been
appointed to confer with the Republican Con-
vention on the subject, and nominating with
view to some concert, I'd action on tbe part Of
both Conventions. a .@
MIR. Littlejchn of New York moved to refer the
communication to . committee to consist of one
from each State. He said the North American
Convention were actusted BY the same feeling
that moved this Convention, and i. was but right
the great party represented BY the North Ameri-
can Convention should have one candidate On the
ticket nominated here. ~ a. aea esf
Mr.. GiddiDss of Ohio was panied TO Be COM
p,led to oppcse the motion. This Convention
had invited oil to come in who were opposed to
the present Administration. If commttee were
appointed to communicate with Americans, he
should want committee to communicate with
foreign born citizens.

into life and health, when it was Just expiring.
On that fatal evening, every theatre was closed
son account of the public cal lmity,' and mas
qncrade ball which was to have come of, 'was
postponed to a more suitable occasiun.'
AS the masses of military were passing by
Montgomery Block, in which Mr.. King lies so
dangerously wounded, the people who almost
choked up the street, reverently raised their hats
and stood uncovered till the last division had
filed passed. 90
When the multitudes on the hills and house
tops saw Casey led from the Jail, loud cheers
rent the mir. But at a wave OF the hand of the
officer in command who stood conspicuous in the
squares formed by the military, all became hush
ed as still as death. .
MIR. King leaves wife and six lovely children
in poverty. A very large fund will at once be
raised for the support and education Of the Or
phans.
To day is steamer day. but the sailing has
been postponed till tomorrow. At O'Clock in
the morning, it was announced that Mr.. Kings
life was almost despared of. Anxious crowds
began to fill the streets, all eagerly awaiting the
crisis, for they felt it had nearly come.
Wednesday, May 2l.
James King of William is dead! He expired
at ID P. NJ, on yesterday. The solemn tollng
of the church bells immediately announced the
great calamity that had fallen upon US. All busi-
ness was at suspen ied-the shops every
where were closed and drapcd in mourning, and
every flag in the port was at half-mast. The
people soon choked up the principal streets to
such degree that one had to traverse several
squares out of his direct course to get desired
point. Still, not the least disturbance occurred.
Even the bar-rooms closed. The whole
force Of the vigilants in the armories drilling
and awaiting orders. The news in few mo
ments reached Stockton, Sacramento, and San
Jose by telegraph. and dispatches Immediately
came back that all the bells were toliing the
death knell and that the people were closing their
shops and covering all the buildings with EN-
bems Of woe. Strong men wept like children,
as they silently pressed each others hands. Thou
sands were passing into Montgomery Block to
take last look at the face Of the honored dead.
\ solemn stiffness reigned all the night in the
streets, although up to two O'Clock i'll the morn
ing they were alive with people. Men spoke in
suppressed voices as they reconnted to each other
the wonderful events that were transpir;ng, and
which were expected to-day.
Two O'Clock, r. ".
have just passed BIZ the head quarters Of the
Vigilance Committee. This morning impression
prevailed that the sun had risen for the last time
upon the murderers of King and RichardsOn.-
But now doubts begin to prevail. The VigIlacts
stand to their arms in all the depots. Armed
horse patrols guard the approache, to the trial
room. The rain, which has fallen in torrents
since III, has ceased. The steamer will go in two
hours. never vet looked upon an execution, and
never shall. The extras will tell you the rest
that may happen before 4 o'clock.

BANKS NOMINATED BY THE NORTHERN
KNOW NOTUINGS

hNOh NOIHlNuS.
Rather unexpectedly to us, the Northern Know
No;hngs have nominated Hon. \. p. Banks, Of
Massachusetts, present Speaker of the 1Ionse Of
Representatives, their candidate for the Presi-
dency. 1t wall he observed by the article which
follows, that the choice for some line lay be-
tween Banks, Fremont AMI Mclean. Fillmore
WIS no where. johnson, of Pennsylvania, was
nominated for the Vice Pres drncy with consider
able unanimity.
To cap the glorious, or rather ingloricus acts
of this Convention, certain number of Dele
gates seeded, ahd nominated Commodore Stock
ton, of n. D., for President, and Kennett Raynor,
of North Carolina, for Vice President. SO there
three Know Nothing candidates in the field,
one Democratic, and in all probability there will
be Republican, making total five, on the
racc-coursc for the Presidency. If these candi-
dates remain in the field, the election will un-
doubiedly be carried into the House. We are in
hopes, however, that Banks will withdraw, and
if so, the vote that would be c,st for him, will
be given for Fremont.
New YORK, June l6.
The New Jersey Delegates left the Convention
this y. NJ, on the plea that the party had been
sold out to the Republicans.
The Delegates from Pa, offered "a resolution
endorsing Fillmore, which the chair refused to
receive.

discussions, and denying the selling to any Sec
tiOn.

then agreed to proceed to ballet for Vice Presi
dent, and after five minutes for consultation, a
ballot was taken as follows: Fremont II lam
lin, of Me-. Z; Colby, of n. IT,, 3; johnson of
Pa, 80; Campbell, of Ohio, /; Ford of Ohio,
10 Bell. of Tenn, IL; Sch,ffer, of n. Y., |.
The nomneton of Johnson was declared
unan lmous--one vote, however, being given in
the negative.
Johnson returned his acknowledgements and
d cciared himself as true American, opposed
to the administration, and combining all the
elements of opposition against it. lie continued
at length in favor Of liberty of conscience,
free press, free speech, and free territories.
The seeding delegates organized BY electing
8. Livingston, of New jersey, for President and
Vice Presidents from fifteen States. commit

AN INCIDENT OF THE EARLY DAY.-We
clip the following from the Prescott Transcript.
1t it worth preserving:
Ten years ago the present site Of St. Paul
then $40 acre claim held by a Frepchman
was offered to Mr.. Geo. Shazer, settler al
this point and now one Of the town proprie,ors
of Prescott, for three barrels Of whisky and a
half barrel OF peach brandy. Mr.. S. did mol
think it worth the liquor. Two years after
wards the Frenchman sold his claim to another
man, who commenced the future city by open.
ing a shop for the sale Of whisky to the sol.
diers and indians. 1t is q familiar fact tia,
few of the early pioneers had the good fortune
to make there p,ch where the large towns
have grown up. The settlements at Grey
Cloud Island and :;ed Rock, which for fifteen
or twenty years have rejoiced in single house
are cases in point. Prescott, however, is an
exception; although j, is probable that Mr.
Shazer would like to exchange his properly
here for a few hundred acres in St. Paul.

PHlLADELpHIA, June II.
ArrERHeON SESSION.
The Convention re-assemblcd at p. NJ, and
reports of committee were announced as first in
order; the Conrmittee on Organization reported
the following officers:
,President-Hcnry s Lane OF Indiana,
Vice Prcsidents-C ii Moman Of Maine, II
Carpenter Of Virginia, J b Babcock Of Rhode
Island, John l. King of New York. John Ritner
of Pennsylvania, Cobb of Indiana. G

of Delaware, GPye of Virginia, X p Spaulding
Of Ohio, W B Archer of Illinois, W d Mcknight
of Wisconsin, Springer of Iowa, Taylor
of California, and twenty Secretaries.
A Committee of three WAS appointed to con-
duct the President to the chair.
When Mr.. Lane went upon the platform, three
cheers were given for the lioosicr State; he then
addressed the Convention ut some length, saying
the anniversary of Bunker Hill shall be the an-
niversary of the birth of freedom once again in
our Republic. s-
We have assembled Mt o most important crisis
in the revolutionary history, to inausuratc new
era in our history, tho regeneration md indcpen-
dence of the North.
We are called upon to-d.v to lay down our old
party prcudices, AMI sacrifice all our feelings on
minor topics for the great love of freedom.
The great question before US is, shall Kansas
be admitted as free State. To this we must
all bend our energies. We are told this is rcvo-
lutionsry. 1t is false. To attempt to enforce
slavery into that territory by undue and illegal
mca"s is revolutionary. He continued his re-
marks in the Same strain, and closed with an
earnest appeal for harmony.
E. q. Spaulding, of New York, from commit
tee on credentials, reported names of non-con.
tested delegates.
The Committee also reported in favor Of call
ing upon Gsatcs BY ballostins to represent the
vote of each State, to east three time, its elc.
tororal vote, but not to cast in any instance
votes than she had absolute representatives.
Kansas vas to be allowed to vote as nm eisctor 4,
State. Report adopted.
The president said tho subject Wis not alluded
to, but the Republicans were willing to abide the
| will Of the majority. Calls were made for Ray.
mond and others, but none for Seward.
motion was then made that Wilson be ;nvi
tel to address the Convention. Wilson not be-
ing present, Caleb Smith by invitation aldresset
the Assembly on the nationality Of the Re
publican party.
EVENING SEssIox.-Nothing was done but lis
tening to speeches. Senator Wilson was anon,

and lobbies densely packed. Copies Of Sumner

THE OSTEND CIRCULAR Allusion is made in the
Republican resolutions to the Ostend Circular.
The document WAS put forth hv james Buchansn,
John T. Mason, and Pierre SOur, in relation to
Cuban matters. 1t incu cates the following inf;,-
nous doctrine:
''After VIC shall have offered Spain price for
Cuba far beyond its present value, and this shall
have been refused, it will then be time to con-
slider the question, does Cuba in the possession of
Spain seriously endancer our internal peace and
the existence Of cherished Union? Should
this question be answered in the Affirmative, then
by ercry lac human and dirine, ,ce shall be justi-
fedin WRESIING 1T FROM SPdIN,U we
possess the po,oer."
This is truly the highwayman's plea, that

Power.
