suited to the occasion, and closed amidst a

C. W. Palmer then came forward and called

illustrations that it was not only humbug but
a cheat and the design of it was to deceive the

Lctler from senalor Iver.on.

The Hon, Alfred Iverson, one Of the U. s.
Senators from Georgia, has written letter in
which he expresses the opinion that if the
Southern delegates at Charleston will unite and
be firm, they can either force the Northern De
mocracy to yield their demands, or else unite
tue South upon a candidate of their own. With
regard to Senator Douglas he says:
cannot believe that the Southern Demoera.
cy will commit so suicidal an act as to adopt
either Judge Dou- las as their candidate for the
Presidency, or his dangerous political heresies
do not believe that he or his policy can receive
the sanction aud support of the Charleston Con.
vestion. / await the action Of that Convention
in the confident hope that both will be repudi.
atcd, if not by majority of the Convention, at
least by a decid majority of the Southern
delegates, and that they will so act to defeat
him and his Free Soil Squatter Sovereignty
doctrine and policy, or break up the Convention
and take proper and effective steps to unite the
whole South upon Southern rights principles
and Southern rights candidates in the Presiden.
! tial election of 1860.

The Examiner is no less decisive. 1t chsrac-

The Fnslness of the Age

Judge Ranney probably intending to come it
over the people of the Reserve by praising the
brightness of their children, said in one of his
speeches -
There is not boy fifteen years old, within
ten miles of Oberlin, who ia not competent to
decide upon the unconstitutionality OF the Flu
gtiye slave law.
This, says the Journal, shows how much
faster Young America is than the Judge was,
for he says that owing to his want of oPportu-
nifty to inform himself on public affairs, he had
not got his eyes open in 1850, and it is only
within the last three months that he has been
able to sec clearly.

Who Commit Crime in New Yorkt

Mr. Holiday has Published book on New
York, in which he gives interesting statistics
identifying the nativity of those who commit
crime in that great city. In one table, the ma.
tivity of offenders for twenty one months is
given, showing that while natives number on
ly 81 1883, the foreigners of all nations amount
TO no fewer that So, $50 OF these Ga, ,442 are
Irish, 9,4ss Germans, and 4OOl English
Equally interesting is the information respecting
admissions to the Aims House for three years
ending in 1858. The total number of adms
sions was II ,653, of which only > ,39l were ma
tive, all the rest being foreigners. During the
period of ten years the tables show that ofthe
5000 admitted to the Bellevue Hospital, A.
S5l were foreigners. In the City Prison, of
25l,334 persons committed only SO 1856 were
natives. Facts like these suggest their own
comment
