The Know.Nothing Convention,

The last Paris (Ky) Flag giUnt chapter about
the Louisville Convention which we had not seen be-
fore, in which Captain James s. Jackson. of Hop
kinsville, played leading part. Here it is:
TIE OPPOSITION CoEvKNTIoS.-Capt Jackson de-
livered speech in the Opposition Convention after
the reading of the address, that at FIRST frightened
the brethren considerably. They were fearful that
he was the advance guard of considerable opposi-
ton to the address. Capt. Jackson said that he
was not pleased with sill that had been done,
and alluded significantly to the men who had cons
trolled the convention. He intmated that the eon~
ventioD wiling to sell out to the Black Repub-
licans. Some enc asked Gen. Houston, who stood
near 10 us, what was the matter with Jim Jackson.
"0h, nothing" said be: "Jim wishes to run for
Congress 10 q Niger district" Some one thought
6 change had come over him since he was defeated
for the Constitutional COnven ion as an emsncipa-
ton candidate in Greenup county. Capt j. thought
the convention treating the Democrats who

The GAINESVILLE Chronicle complains that the De-
mOcratio party is yielding up the rights Of the South
in Kansas According to the creed Of the ChrOSicIs
and the BELL party, the South never had any rights
there. They opposed the repeal of restriction,
which would have excluded slave holders from the
terriotOry forever. The Democratic party maintains
the doctrine Of the bred Scott decision which de-
csres that the citizens of the South carry heir
property into any territory of the Union, and hold
it there under the protection of the constitution and
laws The Leaders of the KnOwNOhing party not only
attempt to maintain ubiquitous prOviso prohibits
ing slavery in Kansas, but aid in excluding the
State from the confederacy when it comes with
pro-slavery constitution.

The Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore
Patriot denies that the South American members Of
the House have determined that the Speakership of
the next Congress must be conceded to them. They
will be ready TO yield that office, he "has reason to
think" TO the free States, "upon condition that
just LIBERAL and unexceptionable man shall be Sc
leoted the candidate; for whom they can vote
without compromising themselves at home; such a
man, for instance, as Mr. CROWN, perhaps Mr.. Sher
man, or Mr. ] Norris, or others that could be
named."-H. y Tribune
OF course one doubts the entire willingness
Of the Southern KnOW-Nothing leaders to sell out,
bag and baggage to the Black Republicans, the mo-
ment thsyean do so without too far compromising
at home"

The late Know Nothing platform eKhOrts the op-
position throughout theSia to prepare fer The work
Of reform. They certainly need reformation, but it
is question in our mind whether they are not be-
yond the hope Of amendment. PoPE's servant heard
his dsformed, misshappen master praying most de-
vouly on several occasions, sc Lord mend me, Lord
mend me- At last he ventured to interrupt the poets
devotions by asking, " master don't you think it
would be easier to make q new man, than to nerd
you?" It would certainly be much easier for the
KnoW Nothing Leaders to make new party than
10 mend their old one.

The New York Herald and Times on tn;
Northern Lights NeMk


The Herald, in commenting on the important Nj
earsguan news furnished by the steamer Northern
Light, uses the following language:
at will be seen that President Martinez, of that
Republic has capped the climax of his hatred of the
United States. All the transit steamers have been
seized, the bridges destroyed, Americans imprison>
ed and the route thrown open to the world regard
less of tbs rights Of our citizens.
ssWhen it is taken into consideration th at these
Wanton acts were psrpetratcd Immediately the
conclusion Of treaties with France and Sardinia
and the arrival of the French expedition, under NJ.
Felix Belly, there can be but one opinion to the
necessity of prompt, decisive action the part of
our Government. Instructions should be immedi-
ately dispatched to naval commanders to block
ade all the NiearHguan ports
"The miserable Governments of the Central Ameri-
can States should receive a lesson effective enough
10 save ali future trouble in that quarter"
The Times says: The seizure of the boats of the
Transit Company is an invasion Of American rights
and trespass upon American property, which can
not pass unchallenged. If the President proves
true 10 his pledges, and Gen. Csss maintains the
doctrines of his letter to Lamar, shall speedily
have this wrsngle brought to a close"

The trial Of the Hon. Daniel E. Sickles was to
have commenced at Washington yesterday. The
Washington Star says "that Judge fancy, General
Howard, and Charles Key, Esq, the uncles and
brother Of the late Philip Barton Key, if they have
not already done So ere about applying to the gov
ernmspt here to accord to the District Attorney pro-
fessional aid in the trial, acceptable to him, the
ground that the existing certainty that the I'M
usual arrsy of counsel for the defence will render
it absolutely necessary that the District Attorney
shall be enabled by professional assistance TO hus-
band his physical power that he may not fail to
do entire justice to his case, because his strength
and endurance are worn out by constantly recurring
antsgonism with fresh counsel Of ability and zeal
equal to his own"

Mr.. BELL announced with some emphasis in his
speech on Tuesday night that "there is no party in
this country, sufficiently united or sufficiently patri
otto to administer the government" He also main
tanned that hundred millions Of dollars might be
eeonimcally expended il the administration of the
government 1t is a matter of surprise that he
should ask the people TO entrust the treasury to the
keeping of party whose leader admits its oOrrup-
finn and recomrends extravaganza

We announced very briefly in evening edition
Of yesterday, the destruction of the steamboat Au-
gusta by FIRE, on the Savannah river, about forty
miles below this city.
The Augusta left here at half past four o'clock on
Friday evening last, and was on her way to Savan-
nah, with very valuable cargo, consisting of some
seven hundred and eighty bales of cotton, five hun
dred and thirty-6ve barrels Of -four, lot of bran,
and other articles.
About eleven o'clock p m, while laid up at Eagle
Point fire was discovered in cotton in the fore
part Of the boat The progress of the fire was very
rapid, and the boat was soon enveloped in flames.
Most of the hands were asleep at the time; and it
asWith great difficulty that Capt. Fraser, any of
those on board, could be saved.
Mr.. Henry Day, the first engineer was drowned;
and three negro men were also lost-two of them
drowned, and one-the cook-probsby burned.
Inc negroes are Willis, belonging to Capt Fraser;
Wal Turner, belonging to Dr. Turner; aud William
Calloank, belonging to Mr.. Ausey, all of this city
The boat was burned to the waters edge and
with the cargo is total loss. We have been in
formed that the cotton was insured, a portion in
New York, and portion in Boston; and the -four
in this city; but there insurance on the boat
1t may be proper to add, that one of the negroes
mentioned above as lost, was drowned before the
Ere commenced.
The origin Of this unfortunate and melancholy af
fair is unknOsn.-Augusta ConstitutOrGlst, April 2.

In the court Of Common Pleas at New YORK, &
non suit has been ordered in the action commenced
by MalOney against Mr. BOWS, treasurer of the San
Francisco Vigilance Committee, for alleged false
Imprisonment in 1866. The complaint is dismissed
the ground that no action can be maintained in
New York, to recover damages for wiful injury to
he person inflicted in another State, when at the
lime of the act both parties domiciled in that
State as resident citizens. This is an important
decision: both on account of the principle invOlv-
ed, and because other suits for a similar cause Of
action, are pending against other members Of the
Committee, now residing in New York.

1t was rumOred in Washington on Wednesday
that France and Sardinia had concluded a treaty
with Gen. MirauOn, by which he was to cede them
the Isthmust Of Tehuantepee, and they to furnish
him with funds. Our Government does not believe
the story, it is said.

Interestins from Sonora.

St Louis, November 26-The Arizona
correspondent Of the Republican gives the
following information from Sonora:
Captain Porter. of the sloop-of-war St. Ma
rvs, on entering Guaymas, found that Col
Alden, acting United States consul. in the
absence of Judge Rose, was not recognized,
and was not permitted to hoist the American
colors over the consulate. Captain in
sisted that the prefect should respect his au-
thority; when meeting with opposition, he
ordered flagstaff to be erected over the con-
suls Office, and ran up the stars and stripes
He informed the project that the bunting
should not be taken down without fight, and
it was left undisturbed
Gov. Pesquiera arrived few days after
when Captain Porter waited on him; and a.
the latter did not understand Spanish, anC
Pesquiera could not speak in English, the in
terview was very unsatisfactory.
Captain Porter then entered his protest il
| the name of the United States Governmen
| against the treatment received BY Col Stone
party, and would probably be present to ait
Captain Ewrell in adjusting the difieultie
| with Pesquiera.
