New YoRK UNION PARTY AND THE NOM.
NEE OF THE BALTlRoRE CONVENTION. AS
an indication Of The feeling of the Union
organization of New York in reference to the
nominee of the Baltimore Convention, we
extract from letter published in one of the
New York papers.
1t will be borne in mind that this organiza.
ton in New York, which held its State Con-
vention short time since at Troy, sent dele.
gates 10 the Baltimore Convention, but resol-
we'd to hold themselves uncommtted by the
action of Baltimore, awaiting, as this letter
mtimates in another paragraph, the action of
the Chicago Convention before determining
their course in the coming Presidential cam
paign:
1T was apparent from what could be
gathered from the delegates individually that,
should the contest be between Mr.. Seward on
the one hand and Mr.. Douglass on the other,
the whole power of the Union organization.
whatever it may be. would be excrted for
Douglas. They claim that, under such cir
cumstances, they would be able to command
Is 900 votes in the State, enough, as dis.
tinguished delegate assured the Convention
to control the result. On the other hand,
conclude, from ali could hear, that, should
either Mr.. Bates or Judge Mclean be nom
mated at Chicago. the great body o the Union
men in New York would give him their cor
dial support Such, also. it is declared,
would be the case in Pennsylvania and New
jersey"

that ,v'N not be liable to t,co constructions. This
action is locked upon as prcjudical to Mr..
Douglas nsomuch as the Cincinnati is the
only platform on which Mr. Douglas will, it
is said, consent to stand. Whether the Con-
vcntion will endorse the Committees action
remain to be seen. Mr.. Douglas friends
claim that he has sufficient strength to nomi-
nate him, and, if so, of course to rc.afiirm the
Cincinnati platform. Guthrie appears to be

Various propositions as to the platform are
before the Committee, all o. which seem to
recognize but one great principle " the niger
in the woodpile," with the exception of
proposition of the Pennsylvania delegation
looking to hoodwinking of the Northern
and Eastern Safes OH the Tariff Question.
I this plank should get into the platform to
be adopted it will no doubt be similar to
other planks in the Cincinnati article, liable
to different constructions, and, of course.

TyThe followinp cut at the sma1

GyThe following cut at the small
value in which railroad men are presumed by
some to hold the lives of people, which we
find humorous publication, seems to be of
a local nature. The railroad on which the
incident is represented to have occurred, was
some time since taken UP, and no more is the
shrill whistle Of the iron horse heard there /;
and the business like aspect OF Frenchtown
has departed.

FANNY FERN ON A SENSATION PREACHER

FANNY FERN ON A SENSATION PREACHER.
Fanny is after the new British sensation

Having nothing to say, he could not say it !;

pauses TO introduce the hattest plattitudes. s.

cal humbug.
We have good authority for saying that the
course which has been pursued by this
" Fanny Fern" the "New York Corn
Dodeer," and other worth less papers, is one
of the most outrageous prosecutions of the
times. The Few. gentleman has never taken
any unfair or unusual means to make himself
popular, but that his popularity is the legiti,
mate fruit OF his talents as a preacher. But
for some reason these winners have most
scandalously abused him.

FROM Elk NEcK.-A correspondent writes
US letter from Elk Neck; but for two very
good reasons we cannot print the whole of it !:
he does not send his name and we have not
space just now to permit ola discussion of the
matter at issue, and shall publish nothing
mole on either side. We Shall be glad. how
ever, to hear from him in matters of general
interest Here is an extract. which shows
that the industrious people of that portion of
the county are not idle:
II have often thought we should have a
correspondent from here, if for nothing else
than to let our friends know in other parts Of
the county that we are improving, and pro.
crossing, since we have LEANED to live with
out fishing, and can do without whskey and
pay little or no attention to the wood bust
ness, and contine ourselves to farming. Every
thing looks prosperous we are filling up
gulleys, clear ne out branches, max ing more
fields and putting on lime. Our farms now
look as IT they pay. We are in good heart,
and think with industry, economy, and the
blessings of a kind Providence we shall
soon be able to pay all our debts, pay as we
go, and have little left, and then you may
be certain we will laugh at calani ty and
mock when fear cometh."

Our town does improve and enlarge, say to the
contrary who may. All the time there is build
ing ofsone kind going oE-new ones being put
up, or old ones enlarged and rr-modlc -
In looking back eight or nine years, we find
that near one third Of the town has been built
IN that time; many OF the buildings the finest
in the place. Year after year, our town puts
on more of tbs " City airs.''
We were led into these remarks on noticing
the handsome manncr in which the goods in
the window Of Mrs. Leamann's Millinery
Store are arrangcd-in the real "city STYLE"
and on going inside We found that it was
carried out all through her business: every
thing in the latest fashion. Just snch Bonnets

her to do the work in the best manner of the

The new style of bonnets is, We think. far
more handsome than that of last year. And

is something besides SHOW in our ladies.-
