After the first tallo, it wat evident that no

dates before the Convention; Gen. BowrS,
voluntarily resigned in favor Of Judge
Ferguson. Il had been rumored that this
Convention wat gotten up ly a clique for
the purpose Of nominating Gen. Bowen,
and oil sorts of stories aud surmises were
circulated and believed, aud in order TO
prove the falacy Of such stories, Chief
Justice Ferguson, than whom, no better
or more upright man exists in the Terri
tory, was unsolicited on his part, prevailed
upon TO take the nomination, and no one
was more industrious In bringing about
the consuinu ion Of this object than Gen.
Bowen. So fearful was a part Of the Gel.
egation from Washington county, hntfraud
and sectional strife was to be mixed up in
this matter, that befor the Convention en-
tered into a lallot-they withdrew. We
are however, lcngthening on, this article to
a greater extent than we Anticipated when
we began, and shall close in a very few
words promising TO r, cur TO it again.
Chief Justice Ferguson, is now our nom-
inee-he is q man tpon whom all can
unite-he knows no sectional interests,
and the people who do the voting have
confidence in him. His cl.aractrr-his
purity of life and his unspotted fame is far
al owe the reach Of pity malice AMI envy,
although their puny shafts may lie directed
against him After his nomination, a com.
mittee waited ,pon him and he ap.
peured, and taking up the platform, he
read each resolution-commenud upon
them and finally accepted the nomination
rendered TO him, and in a beautiful and
chaste speech, referred 10 his past services
in this infant Territory marking in
concluson, that his duty forbid his resigno.
ton as Chief Justice, before the 22d inst,
as he hal to meet his brethren of the
judiciary, to adjust some important matters
in regard to the interests of litigums-lut
when these decisions were given, he would
cheerfully resign-attend to the call of the
convention imposed upon him and labor 10
secure the position to which tn, ir friend
ship ard Iartiality Lad assigned lin. He
was cheered y the crowd, and on raking
his seat Gen. Bowen was calico uron and
responded in a shor, and telling speech,
endorsing the action Of the convention,and
said, he was rel dy,o go into the fight and
would labor faithfully to secure the trium'
phan, success Of the nominee.
We therefore this week, take down the
name of Gen. Bowen, and raise that Of
Judge Ferguson-,he peoples candidate,
feeling sati fed that the yeomanry Of the
countryside voters, will endorse TIE Sc
lection of the convention.

There is no Heart, However Rude.
ny FINLEY JOHNSON.

There is no heart, however rude,
Within world like this,
But what can find some happy scenes
To fill its depths with bliss
To shed abroad the light of love
Throughout its deepest cell;
To find within its chambers wide
A place for love to dwell.
As flowers scent the evening air
With sweet and fresh perfume;
As they expand before the sun,
And in their beauty bloom;
So in the heart, however rude,
The light Of love still CLEANS;
And by its rays give peace to all
Beneath its sunny beams
There is no heart, however loved
BY sorrows crushing weight;
But what has felt within this life
A far more happy state;
And which has memories of the past
To love and call its own;
The joys Of which they would not change
To fill monarch's throne.
Then there's no heart, however rude,
Within world like this;
But what can find some happy scenes
To fill its depths with bliss;
To take the sting from sorrows hour,
To drive dull care away
Yea, even as themorning's dew
a the approach Of day.

Of produce. There has passed through

LEAVITT'S LATEST IMPROVED
CORN AID COB MILL.
Young America Excelsior.

y OunH AtRkefAci hiACcHSAOH.
nIHE attention Of the Farmers of
a Montgomery County, is asked to
this greatly improved MILL for Crushing and
Grinding Corn and Cob Meal-Horse feed gem
erally-and Meal from Shelled Corn.
Il is now well known that all animals are
improved in every respect by the use OF ground
food, because of its more easy and complete
digestion.
Ii is now well known that working animals
for the same reason, arc kept in good condition
ut less cost by the use Of food so prepared
But while these principles OF true economy arc
so generally understood, many have been I'M
willing procure suitable Mills, because oftheir
expensive neutrality-suspicious. showing
that the Corn and Cob Mills heretofore before
the public with the grinding plates cast solid,
with the two main portions Of the Mil, in
grinding for the use Of an average sized farm
win wear smooth and become useless in about
two years among such is the & Little Giant,
- Grauger's Magic Mil " etc.
In buying the EXCELSIOR MILL this OBJ
lection is entirely obyiated, as it is Permanent
Mill. The Grinding Plates (the only parts
that wear ont being two detached rings, cast
seperate from the main and expensive parts Of
the Mil, each boltcl on with three small bolts
and when worn smooth readily replaced in ten
minutes at n cost only SO.
We name among the other advantages this
Mill possesses over theother Portable Iron Mills
ia use, that the regulating Of the hneness Of
grinding IS done by simply turning one central
sci screw. The meal instead Of being scattered
around as in other mills, is brought out at one
spout and no weight is required on the rear end
Of the sweep as a balance.
Wherever the Young America Excelsior has
been introduced it has superseded all others Of
the kind.
This mill will grind from 3 TO 20 bushels per
hour. according TO fncness, and the grinding
is light work for two horses.
PRICE $50 including an extra set Of grind
ing places making il equal to two ordinary
Mills. They will he promptly delivered NJ any

An ELooUENT PASSAGE. Thomas +
Meagher, the Irish orator, lately deliv-
cred an address in New York, entitled
Contrast between Royalty and Repub-
licanism." After describing the terrible
scenes which Napoleon Ill. passed on his
way to the throne of France, the speaker
drew contrast between the browning of
Napoleon and the Inauguration of Mr..
Buchanan, in the course of which he
used the following glowing language
Enough to say, that having from his
earliest manhood served his country faith
fully-having honestly worked out his
apprenticeship to her; now in the solid
maturity of his years she rewards him
with the largest share in the concern. -
Enough to say, that having with dill
gence, spotless rectitudc, and the steadi-
est ability, labored for years to consoli-
date her interests, augment her fortune
and domain, extend her salutary influence
and establish her good name never hav-
ing, as that Prince of Darkness ruling
France had done, disturbed the public
peace to aggrandize himself; never hav-
ing steamed up the Potomac, with a
starved eagle under his arm, to pounce
upon The Treasury; never having sought
to corrupt the army, the clergy, or the
magistracy; breaking no law, oath or
covenant; sturdily devoted to republi-
canism here, elsewhere and everywhere,
in London as well as in Lancaster; with
out resorting to the least intrigue, treach-
cry or violence; without a speck of blood
upon his hands or the shadow of false
hood on his soul-he is declared the
First Citizen of America. On the 4tl
of March he will proceed to the Capitol
and there, in the presence of the Senate
the Messengers of the Electoral College
the House of Representatives, Ambassa
doris of foreign Courts, Delegations from
every State, officers of the brave and en-
lightened Army, to whose custody il
committed the ensignia of the Republic
officers of the Navy, whose wooden wall,
bear through the storm the thunderbolt'
of Freedom --standing on the steps o
the capitol, in the presence of this great
audience, with head uncovered, he will
call upon God-as God will be the Judge
Ito be the witness of the truth, with
which he cOnsecrates himself to the high
ministry of the Commonwealth. In its
modesty, pure decorum, sublime signif.
cance--with liberty to illuminate-th
the spirit of the Revolutionary fathers t.
sanctify-and Providence to bless tit
were a scene which would infinitely
transcend the baptism of the child o
France, the obsequics of Wellington

SENATORIAL ORAToRY. In the Senate,
says the Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Inquirer, the most graceful,
flowing, elegant speaker | have heard, is
Benjamin, of Louisiana. Toombs is vig-
orous, strong and terse, but inelegant in
manner and indistinct in tone, his voice
being utterly without incubation. Sew
ard speaks sensibly and in good tone of
voice, but not huently or impressively.
Butler is a loose and numbering speaker,
who blurts out rather carelessly his in
digested thoughts and sentences. Pugh
is apt, forciblc and 0uent--a little too
layerish-but shows that only a brief ex-
perience is required to make him one of
the best debaters in the country. Hun
ter is very dry, hard and inanimato, but
evidently speaks as statesman and 0
student. One of the most impressive
men in the Senate is General Rusk, of
Texas, who speaks ike Senator, and
demeans himself with that manly dignity
and conscious power characteristic Of the
heroes Of our frontier struggles.
The veteran Crittenden still retains
much Of that fire and easy olocution for
which he has SO long been distinguished,
but the ravages of age are quite percep-
tiblc in his homely, but not unpleasing
old face. He appears to be the sole rep
resentative in the Senate of the old class
Of political orators who did not regard it
essential to senatorial dignity and pro
pricty that the natural ardOr and i'm
pulses Of the soul should be restrained by
frigid formality, cold convetionalism and
calculating cunning, which are the prin-
cipal characteristics Of the modern school
of politicians.
The foremost Of the very few live men
in the Senate is, of course, Stephen A.
Douglas. No man in Congress has
stronger hold upon the respect of his
enemies and the regard of friends. Bat
! am touching the orator, not the man.
Douglas is clear, easy, forciblo speaker.
There is less Of fire and earnestness than
/ expected in his manner, and more Of
ease and polish in his sentences. For
fluent speaker, he is remarkably free
from redundancc and iteration. His |
speeches need no re-arranging and re
from the reporter. In fine, he
is happy medium between the careless,
oa-hand, dashiDg style Of some of the
Southern speakers, and the stiff, cold, aud
rigid rhetoric Of Seward and his school.

A Man ATTACKED by WEAsEIs. On
Wednesday last a laborer named 1Iogarth,
while proceeding along the turnpike near
the village Of Smallholm, was set upon
by twelve Of these creatures At first,
he observed them emerge out Of dry
stone dyke, and when he was within fifty
yards they made towards him in body.
He armed himself with "grievous crab
tree cudgel," and awaited the approach
Of the assailants. They came leisurely
on, and when close TO him, despite the
monacing attitude he assumed, nine Of
their number attacked him in front, and
made two or three Intellectual attempts to
fasten their teeth in his trousers, but by
the active use Of bis weapon FIVE of tho
nine were killed the other four escaped.
BY this time three Of them had got be-

actually suffering themselves to be killed
rather than release their hold. OF tho
