4 large gathering Of the friends Of the Hon.
William L. Dayton WIS held in this city on
Wednesday last, to consult on the best means Of
advancing his claims to q nomination for the
Presidency. The meeting was strictly private
one. and was composed principally Of prominent
Jerseytnen from all sections Of the State. The
conclusion arrived at IVES that New Jersey
should and would do her utmost, in Convention,
to secure his nomination. But while, up to
this period Of time, the indications hare been
decided that with the right man, come from
where he may, we can succeed next year, there
are foolish men in this community who ure seek
ing, with superseryiceable zeal, to break away
from that Peoples party organization under
which our Stale has been twice carried against
the Democracy, aud set up purely Republican
party. Such folly cannot be too seTeEely rep
robated. New York may win battle after battle
under the Republican banner, and we glory in
seeing her DO SO; but in renusylvania aud New
Jersey the present compact organization Of the
Peoples party in one, and the Opposition in the
other must be preserved uubroken. Whoever
seeks to break it up by side organizations Of
nuy kind, no matter under what name, is an
enemy ia disguise. lie is sowing tares that
will spoil great fields now whitening for the
harvest.

Carried OF.
BY mere accident We have obtained posses
sion OF the following bloody and brutal plot,
conceived " bloody and brutal Black Repub.
lcan Of this state.
Professor Lowe, who is NOW engaged in in
hasing bis monster balloon, with which he in
tends shortly to sail for Europe, has been EN-
ptoyed to rematu in New York with bis balloon
until some dark night. when there shall be
strong north wind, when LIE is to ascend in his
balloon with dozen packs Of IRE crackers, and
steer his aerial ship directly for Cbarlestown,
Virginia When near that city he is to set fire
to a pack Of crackers and throw it overheard,
leaTlng them to explode on their descent to the
ground, and then to proceed in the same man-
ner, With the remaining eleven packs, By which
time, it ls presumed, the people OF Ha1per's
Ferry will all be frightened 10 death. The,
bnlloonist is then to descend directly over the
jail, make fast 10 it, and, ascending agnin, take
up the jul, with old Brown in it, and steer d.
rectly for England, where lie will delirer old
Brown to The bloody aud brutal aho1itionists in
that country, who il is expected, will lion re the
old sinner By exhibiting him at Exeter Hall,
thus robbing Virginia galiows Of its victim,
and Jefferson county Of its jail.
y. Lit is expected that the audaclty Of the
bloody and brutal rebels will not stop even
here. Some Of the ungodly gang suggest the
e1pediency Of taking up Governor Wise, the
militia the judge, jury, end witnesses on Old
Browns trial, to be used, as occasion may re-
quise, for gas or bnllast.-1T. T. Est. Poet.

The session Of the National Convention cf |
1856 at Philadelphia created the Republican
party Of that city. Not only SO, but it c1er-
cisod greater influence By far than any other
event in forming opinions throughout Pcnnsyl-
vania and New Jersey, where, until thon, tho
principles Of the party had gained no eecure

largest aud most influential mass meeting Of

the most good. We, think it will bc con-
ceded that no State stands in more need Of the
benign influence than 1udiana-ttat On none
can such power be more eacctually cxpend-
ed than there. New England does not want

operates against Illinois 50 far as the civ of

Springfield wo should give our hearty assert
to TINT location; but Springfield is too far
West probably to meet the yicws of the l.rcpr

access from I'LL points as indianapolis is,
perhaps loss able to accommodate tho great
coneourse which would be drawn together
nnd tho Republicans intend to carry Illinois

over, Indianapolis is as easy Of access to q
considerable portion Of Illinois as either SPRING

or little after. The loss Of Mess1s Buell. and
Nixon will be about fourthonsand dollars. upon
which there WAS no insurance.
The mill was own.d By Mr. Jas. r.. White
