at Troy, on the 23d ult., was the largest gath
ering ever known in this County, exceeding in
numbers the meeting at this place on the 22d.

of Freedom. The number present was estima-
ted at 10000 Col Trad WILSON presided,

Hon LEVI G. NOBLE, Of Wisconsin, JAS. C.
SMITH, of Canandaigua, and A. S. OWEN, of
Elmira. In the evening, meeting was held
in the Presbyterian church
Taken together, the two meetings at Tow
anda and Troy, are unprecedented in numbers
and enthusiasm, by any County mass meeting
held during the present canvass. From $4,000
to 10000 people in a single county turning out
to meetings, is an evidence of the intense inter
est felt in the success Of correct principles
Before the speaking commenced at Troy
the staging erected for the speakers gave way,
falling upon and ipjuring several persons. One
man named Carl was SO severely injured that
he has since died

ting to vote, which resulted in the nom
ination Of J. C. Fremont on the first ballot.
The vote stood, Fremont 359; McLane
1876; Banks /; Seward 1; Sumner a.
MIR. Fremont was then unanimously nom
mated. Mr.. Banks, previous to ballot,
had positively forbid his name being
brought before the Convention. Mr.. Sew.
ards name was also Withdrawn. 1t would
seem from this fact, that Mr.. Banks will
not accept the nomination of the anil.

fusion Of the two factions. Previous to
the ballot a resolution to refer the commu-
nication of the anti-Fillmoreites proposing
unity OF action TO committee. was laid
on the table which was as much az 10 sa
we have no compromises to make. After
the nomination, the resolution layine on
the table was re-considered, and the prop
osition to refer 10 a committee accepted.

Murder OF Mr.. King

Mr.. King, editor Of the San Francisco
Evening Bulletin. was recently shot by a
man named Casey, ostensible editor of the
San Fraucsco Sunday Evening Times
1t appears that Casey, through his paper,
had questioned the motives Of Mr.. King in
his support of certain Federal officers In
California. Mr.. King replied, that Casey
mad been an inmate Of Sing Sing, N. land
his whole life had correspondent with the
character implied by such association. Ca
'ey called on Mr.. King for an explanation,
winch was refused and Casey ordered out
OF MT. Kings room. The next day, as
Mr.. King was walking down The street,
Casey met and shot him, Mr.. X, dying in
d lew hours after the wound was received.
Casey was hurried off to Jail. The "V,g.
lance Committee" or "Regulators, who
nad not been organized for several years,
instantly met, marched 10 the Jail, with
cannon and other fire arms. and demanded
the person Of Casey, as well as that of Co.

The Venom OF Payty.

At the North the abolition and know
nothing presses are moving heaven and
earth to convince the people that Mr.. Buc'
hanan is the pro-slavery candidate. In the
South the opposition press are tearing up
old musty papers and speeches, from their
burial place., to sustain the charge tina: he
is all abolilionist. They also are laboring
to convict him of Inconsistency of every
description, charging him with advocating
know nothing doctrines, Of opposing the
interests ofthe working class, and Of at
tempting to sully the fame of Henry Clay.
1t is desperate cause whose friendsshave
to resort to such unmitigated ISLANDERS aud
personal vil!ifeation, to sustain it. Such
was the course Of the know nothing prints
Of the State toward Henry A. Wise. What
