LANCASTER. Pa, June g. 1857.
The "Strsght- Out" American State Convention,
about which there has been so much trumpeting
and blowing. assembled in Fulton Hall to-day. Ii
was composed Of "a individuals, from the following
counties who pretend to represent the entire State
viz: Allegheny, Berks, Bradford, DauPhin, Ian
caster. Montgomery, Clearfed, York. Northamp-
ton and Philadelphia. The whole affair was the
poorest fzzle you ever read Of. Ii was understood
this morning that John T. Sanderson, of Th DAILY
Neus, and other leading quasi LocOioc0s Ofthe Con-
yention, came here for the purpose Of nominating
Gov. Geary as the GubernatOral candidate. which
doubtless would have been done had not some of
Gesrys friends telegraphed to him that the COnyen-
tiOn d hzze, and asked for instructions to with
draw bis name if il was offered.
Subsequently Isaac Hszlehurst, esq of Phadel
phis, received the nomination for Governor. and
Jacob Broom, Of Philadelphia, and Jasper p Brady,
of Pittsburgh, for Judges Of the Supreme Court.
NaiV persons viii take these nominations 5 d mat
ter Of Joke but ! must say thit several members of
the Convention appeared Ia be IN earnest. Several
times during the session Of the Convention they
came very near breaking mp in a rows il was
several delegates left, and bid good bye TO the

Some time in the dead hour Of last night some
forty odd boys arrived here in the from Phila-

PHIA 1t is positively asserted that they neither
Rangers nor Killers. They were in attendance upon
the Convention: they acted as the GLACIERS, and
were excessively enthusiastic in all their demonsra-
tons of pleasure displeasure, as the business Of
the Convention progressed. They were especially
severe upon anything that favored RePublcanism.
The nomination OF Mr. Brady was forced upon the
Convention against the urgent protestatiOns of the
entire delegation from Allegheny County who de-
ClaIed him incompetent, unpopular &c, but con-
sented 10 bis nomination because they could fnd AZ
alleged in Convention, no respectable lawyer west OF
Philadelphia who was " straght-out.' This was
considered bard hit at the profession.
/ am happy to add that they will be able to leave
for their homes at an early moment, to hide their
shame and say nothing Of the fzzo. The whole
affair cannot in any event amount to any serious con-
sequence or importance to any party. +.

The START.


The Commodore's flag was lowered from the Erie,
a gun was fired, and the yachts of the third class
,ped away at ten minutes before eleven. Five min
utes after, another gun sent off the second class
yachts and the great third class vessels got away at
H. In the start the Luckey, Julia and the Una had
the positions nearest the shore which gave them some
advantage. Under the light breeze, the smaller craft
had nearly flown out Of sight before the big yachts got
under way. As they passed the Cunard dock, salute
was fred from the British steamer Arabia, and the
Collins aid other steamers paid similar compliment
to the squadron.
At the start the first class ranged from the jersey
shore thus: Julia, Haze Silyie, Widgeon, Favorita
The Julia soon got ont from under the lard, and then
shot by the Widgeon, while the Haze followed sharp
after her The Widgeon snl Favorita then had g
brush in which the latter passed and left astern
both vessels making much leeway. Between these
four Yachts the Sive held her own very fairly. AT

Altogether. il was very well sailed, close and
citing race. At first it was confidently believed that
the Haze had both prizes of the third class but
il appeared that she had spread some % minutes
worth Of extra sails which gave the slocp JuLn the
rst prize and although the other schooners had also
hoisted additional sails the difference in square feet OF
canvas and minutes Of start in favor OF the schooner
WIDGEoN gave her the extra prize for the schooners
of her class. The sloop UNA took the prize in the
second class and the third.cass prize was won by the
sloop EDGAR. 81 As the difference in time, sails and
amount of time at require very nice caicu-
ations We are unable at this late hour, TO give the
fenres in favor of the leading vessels.

We hone that next season the Club will add to the
interest Of the regatta by causing each yacht to carry
her signal or some distinguishing mark The want of

The Knox County Debt.

The Vincennes Sun thinks the judgment
creditors of Knox County will have some diff
feulty in making sale of the property of the
County attached by them. The Sun is curl
Gus to see the results Of their efforts to get
appraisers of the property levied on, as the
law requires they shall be residents Of the
County. 1t says they will have ga good
time" in hunting them up, aud seems to
think they will earn good share of the
money before they get through with the mat
ter. We would suggest the query to the Sun
if this be not practical reputation, and also
nullifcations The judgment, though an or
erous one, came from the United States
Court. whose DEGREES should be reverenced
and its mandates obeyed, by every good cit
izen, for examples sake-in these days OF
disunion and anarchy. Is 1t not obviously
inconsistent in q good Democrat, who de-
nounces as treason the threatened resistance
of Republicans to the bred Scott decision
to counsel indirect resistance to Judgment
of the same judiciary, when il touches his
own pocket, instead of his political prejudi-
ccs! The spirit of the act is the same, in
both cases. We present this small piece OF
moral looking glass for the editor Of the
Sun to behold himself in.

She came to Cincinnati IS years ago, and has

tickets, for the members of the Legislature
and the Constitutional Convention, and the
war between them seems fierce and inplac-
able. We see no opposition to Lane for Con-
gress. Nothing appears in the papers rela
ting to the slavery question in the discussion
Of the proposed Constitutional Convention.
