ny- The White Mans Party have been
holding large and glorious convention in
st. Louis, Mo, during which FRANCIS
p BLAIR was re nominated for Congress
Amid the excitement and enthusiasm Of
the meeting, Mr.. BLAIR made use of the
following bold and eloquent language:
From the earliest dawn of this move
meni, in favor of free white labor in Mis-
souri,, he had been keeping step to the
music, nor could the threats of enemies
nor any course whatever, deter him from
supporting the rights of his free white
fellow-ctizens.
When first the movement commenced
in St. Louis, of which he was an humble
advocate, it was sneercd at by those who
considered Intensely secure, and now
those parties tremble, not only for the
city, but for the State. Well may they
tremble, for he could assure them that ere
the earth should make two more revolu-
tons round the sun, the Free Democracy
would trample them under their heels
He did not wish to indulge in that style
of language SO common to his adversaries,
nor would he invade single right belong
ing to them, nor did he wish to invade
their property, for he held that property
as sacred, but he did wish for the advance
ment of those principles which would pro-
mote the great interests Of the State, and
he would pursue that course at all haz-
ards. He did not design discussing at
this time those measures which were of
such vital Importance in this canvass. He
would discuss those principles and those
measures when he should meet his oppo-
nent in public debate He submitted his
views and his claims to the people, and
when they decide he should render obedi-
ence He had no doubt but what the
party would be triumphant in this coun-
try, and with the aid of such gentlemen
as the one who proceeded him upon the
same platform, who is one of the best,
bravest and noblest men in Missouri, he
hoped to gain victory in the State,
which would result in making Missouri
what she ought to be, one of the first
States in the Union

a proclamation has been issued to the
people by Gen Johnston, in which he

was to oppose them in rebellion when in

GEN. LANE ACQUITTED.

The examination of Gen Lane or charge
of having murdered Mr.. jenkins, was
concluded on the 30th ult and resulted
in the acquittal of the prisoner A Law
renee correspondent of the Leavenworth
Ledger says the decision of the Court was
to this effect:
"In making out case against the de.
PENDANT, it was necessary, first, to prove
that murder had been committed aud,
secondly, by Gen. Lane. The prosecu-
ton had failed to establish the first The
Court were unanimously of the opinion
that no murder had been committed
and, as the Territory having failed to es-
tablish this primary fact, the only charge
contained in the affidavit, the defendant,
Gen Lane, was accordingly discharged"
This announcement, continues the cor
respondent, caused loud and general STAN
ping of feet among the crowd, and other
demonstration of applause, which lasted
until checked by the Court.
Gen Lane rose and said that he felt it
due, and demanded it as right to him
self and family, to be allowed to enter
into recognizance for his appearance at
the United States District Court, in She
event of an indictment by the Grand
Jury, to answer any charge connected
with the homicide, that might be PREFER
ed against him. Their Honors were Free
State men, and this fact, however unjust
ly, would be alledged to have influenced
his acquittal He desired to be tried by Q
pro-slavery Judge, and pro-slavery jury /;
and he therefore hoped the Court would
accept his recognizance.
The Court declined acceding to his re-
quest, owing to doubt as to their power
so to do after their decision.
Gen. Lane then retired, and was warm
ly received by his friends outside.
The decision, though generally expect
ed, is not universally approved. Col. 5.
w. Eldridge denounces it bitterly lie
told Justice Ladd, just before the decis.
ion, that if he (Eldridge) was ever bro't
before him and convicted of any crime, ne
would shoot him as true as fate.
There is nothing in this decision to pre-.
vent the Grand Jury indictiug Lane, if SC
disposed. BY express statutory provision
the evidence, together with the decision
must be submitted to them by the Clerk
of the District Court. The examination
having been so full, and, withal so fair, il
is very doubtful whether the Grand Jury
will ever cause another proceeding on the
same charge to be instituted.
Thus the matter ends-N y. Tr1b.

A WoMAN-WHIpPING PRIEST.

"Her oath before the Justice of the
Peace was that tho priest rode up to the

in, ordered her to kncel, and then unmer-
cifully whipped her with a whip made of
wire, Cone said to be used by him for pun
ishng refractory Catholics over the arms
and shoulders. This she could not stand
and ran out upon the piazza, crying and
screaming. He followed, drove her back,
again made her kneel, and again whipped
her with his horrid instrument of torture.
And in concluding, TO add TO his already
inhuman co duct, directed her to BATH
herself with salt and water, (Which would
have produced the most excruciating ag-
ony,) and say nothing about the affair
She then proceeded to the residence of
Enos |. Baker, but few yards off, (for

Mrs. Baker the marks of her whipping,

Squire Baldwin if there was any law to

cured a States warrant for the priest s

he was very particular in questioning her
as to all the facts of the case, as he con-

ed to have no doubt about it. She also
remarked to him that this was not the
first or the only whipping that he had
been guilty of; that he had logged a
woman in The neighborhood with wire
whip, similar to that which he used on
her. We think it was for marrying a
man named Coppock, or Proctor, Prot

Republ can state Convention.

By reference to the call at the head of
this column, it viii. be seen that the Re-
publican masses, through their delegates,
arc called upon to meet in State Conven-
ton, in this city, on Thursday the 10Th
day of August, to select the standard
bearers for the approaching campaign..-
As this is the preliminary opening of the
contest, it behooves the Republicans to
begin to look about them for the proper
men to reflect their wishes in Convention
as well as to fix upon time and place for
holding township and county Convention.
This will be one Of the most important
Conventions. as well "a the most in,rnri
ant campaign that has ever taken place in
Michigan. The Democracy are divided
into fragments, and disheartened from
causes too well known to our readers to
need description. This circumstanc :,
however, should afford no excuse or in
dueement for lack of activity and energy
on the part Of the army of freedom. 1t
should rather be an inducement on our
part to take advantage of their discomf-
ture and perform a grand coup dctot, and
wipe Locofocoism, or modern Democracy,
entirely out Of the State, at one fatal Jlo,o.
This chance is now within our reach if all
