The State Convention.

Our readers are generally aware that the Con- vsnlon of the " Union Party" for the nomination ot Stale Officers, is appointed to take place in Hartford on the l4,h of this month. The Con- vention is an important one, and we trust that those towns which have not already appointed Delegates, will not fail to do so in season. |. is desirable not only that good men should be seec- ted for the place, but that men are chosen who will attend. We take it for granted ,ha. the pres sn, State Ticket will be re-nominated though we are not unaware of the fact that efforts are being made in certain quarters in behalf of other candida a,es. It has hitherto been the invarable practice with all parties in this State. to nominate the cessful candidates at least for second term, and VIC can see no reason why the custom should bs departed from in this instance. It is a courtesy due to men who have faithfully performed their high official du,ies--and it is the only legitimate way in which the party can express it's approba- ton of the conduct of its friends. The ticket az il now stands, is composed of corps of efficient and popular officers, who do honor to the several stations which they occupy. We hear no. the slightest opposition 10 any one of the number, ex- cept in cases where direct efforts have been made to supplant them by the friends of persons who aspire to their places.
 All agree that Governor HcLtsY has made a most excellent Chief Magistrate. His admins. ,,ra,ion has been eminently conservative, and nc suspicion has ever been breathed against his pat rio.ism, fidelity and efficiency. as public officer We confidently anticipate not only his re. nomin ation, but his triumphant reelection. Certainly il the opponents of Buchanan and Slavery, art united in action, they will prove themselves in vincible at the polls. We sincerely hope that nc attempt will be made to disturb the harmony o the party. by a departure from long established usases or oy an effort to establish new pTece dent

The Washington correspondent of the ". Y.
 From severa! private letters from reliable sour 10 late dates, just received here from kansas. gather number of facts of much interest.
 One letter from near the Missouri border further confirms the reported death of ,he notorious G. w. Clark, the murderer of Barber.
 On the 23d inst. the difficulty at Fort Scott was still progressing Clark was at the head of the Pro-Slavery force when he was killed. Seven Pro-Siayery men had fallen at last accounts, and the greatest excitement existed
 Parsons, Clerk of the Legislative Council, writes that .' General Denver has arrived, and says that if Buchansn thiH4s he ,cM pursue q d.f- ferent policy from that of Walker and Stanton, he IS damnadty tooisd."
 Another prominent man writes that Calhoun can never set up his Lecompton Government in the Territory with less than twenty thousand Fed erai troops at his back.
 1 Calhoun had become so greatly alarmed for his personal safety, that he had fled from his office at | Lecompion and gone to Fort Leavenwor,h fur pro- | teclion.
 Another correspondent states that if the Iecomp ton Constitution goes through Congress, there will be boody settling up of old scores in the Terri tory.
 | Lieutenant Governor Robert, Robinson, Lane, and other leaders, are in favor of taking part m l the State election under the becOmPton Cohstso- ton on the 4,h of January, and elrcing Free State officers under il, aud there is lile doubt that the advise will be follow ed. l It was not supposed that this success would in duce osr acceptance of the Lecompton Constila- trl-but it was thought that the effect of it would be to lead tho Lecomptoni.es themselves to vote against tlser own bantlipg A letter from Wyandot,e, dated the 23d, gives tho yote there for tho Slavery clause at l00-agains ] it SC.

A REMARKABLE SwIMMER-" A singular wager" says the Salute Public, of Lyons " has just been decided here. One of the best swimmers of the city made bet that he would cross the Rhone on his back, carrying on his stomach small table, on which should be placed two bottles full of wine, six eggs on plate and four glasses. The fall of any one of these objects would involve the loss of the wager The swimmer, however, crossed the river without displacing one of the articles, and won the bet"
