The New York Herald which came 10y the
last steamer. says that some three weeks
since, Hon. S. A. Douglas spent almost an
entire night in the hou,e of Mr.. Forney. in
Philadelphis, discussing the course to be Ia.
ken in regard to the Charleston Convention.
Mr.. Douglas arguing in favor OF going into
the convention and submitting 10 its action,
whilst Mr.. Forney declared that he would
have nothing to do with it, and would fight
any one nominated by the convention, even
Douglas himself. Forney further ad, ised
Mr.. Douglas to go TO Chicago and announce
himself ss candidate for The Presidency.
and pay no attention whatever to the con-
vention; and let convention meet and nom.
mate Vice President to run with him, aud
trust to the result Mr.. Douglas declared
his Intention however TO go into the Charles.
ton Convention and abide its result.
Thus also have the Broderickites in thi.
State taken their position with Forney. and

Brother Waite, Of the Journal, indulges
bis natural propenss.ies this week. by pitch
| ing into the democratic county convention
that met In Nevada on last Saturday. wi'h
more than bis usual bitterness. and reck'
less disregard Of the facts In the case. lie
thinks the delegates TO the State Convention
will misrepressnt the democracy of Nevada
Comfy by supporting Mr.. Meredith. for Con-
gress. He processes great affection for Mr..
J. r. Mcconnell whom he says is the choice
Of two thirds OF the people ofNevada county
for Supreme Judge, &c.
We do not see how brother Waite could
make The above statements, If he bad any re-
gard for truth. Does he not know the dele
gates were elected by ballot in every town
,hlp Ia the county, directly on the Meredith
issue. except perhaps in Grass Valley, and
that there we're only seven out Of eighty odd
delegates in the convention. who did not ex-
press. by q resolution, their decided prefer
ence Of Mr.. Meredith, over any other esndi-
date. The only place where we heard Of a
Mcconnell ticket being run in opposition to
Meredith, was in Nevada. The result, GER
iainly, did not indicate that 'two thirds" Of
the people preferred Mr.. Mcconnell for Su
preme Judge to Mr.. Meredith for Congress.
Brother Waite further says, in speaking
Of the delegates to the state convention, tina,
they are "bir-lings and tools" As we hap
pen 10 be delegate to the State convention
We will simply say 10 brother Waite, that so
far as bis charges may refer to US individual

An Elegant Painting.

Mr.. Walton has just finished painting In
oil colors upon canvas representing st.
Joseph. with the child Jesus in his arms,
which is QUO OF the most admirable illustra-
tons Of sacred history we have ever beheld.
St. Joseph stands erect, aItired in the dra
perry of the times in which he lived, bolding
lilly in one hand as an emblem OF purity
while in the back ground IL seen az Orien-
tai Landscape. beautifully disversifcd with
river, valley, hill and mountain. The picture
10 four feet seven inches in length and two
feet eight inches in width. and is In intended
for the establishment ofthe Catholic Church.
All admirers OF truthful 4 cxquisitrly refined
art, will be delighted whilo they insrect, and
contemplate this m ost excellent production,
and when IL ceases to be recognized through
the medium OF the eye, il will still be dwelt
upon by the divine vision Of the soul as" n
beautiful thing, which is a joy forever" 1t
blends the qualities ofa perfect picture.
with o truthfulness Of representation, and
artistic finish 10 degree. which cannot but
fulfill the conceptions OF the mos! subtle aud
and rigorous critic.
The painting stands out with all the boldness
and lucidiiy of the beat works on canvas. o,
you behold 1t from distance, and a close
inspection exhibits the smoothness and deli
cacy Of dellneators on ivory.
The moral, religious and intellectual ex
preston Of the face and form OF st. Joseph
fills the beholder with admiration and ever
veneration, while the expression Of the fea
.ures Of the child Jesus at once suggest idea,
for the divine. The left arm IL flung srounf
the neck Of st. Joseph, while the fingers o
the right, resting upon the cross, which
overshadowss miniature globe poised il
the hollow Of st. Joseph's hand, is pertinent
ly symbolic of the sufhciency Of the blood
Of Christ to redeem oil mankind and th,
final triumph Of the cross throughout th,
world.
Any written description Of this work is ut
terly incompetent to convey anything lik,
an adequate idea of its excellencies. W,
have merely alluded to it, in such a manner
we trust, as will induce all who love the re
fined, ths artful, the exalted, the sacred ant
religious, to go, as we have done, to see. /,
appreciate, to admire, to enjoy, and prof
for themselves.
The picture is open for the inspection Q

to furnish II to tbs public for the sum O

him with emotions Of triumph, on the success
which has crowned the efforts Of his genius
