Wednesday next, the Republican National
Convention will meet at Chicago, to nOminAts
candidates for President and Vice President
The occasion will be most important one and
none are more fully alive to the fact than the
Democrats. The pro slavery men, northern
democratic Office hunters, dO.nOthing bogus
"Unionu men, and thin skinned, long poke cd
eastern tiaders, find time amid their Desperate
internal dissensions to keep close watch upon
the movements Of their g.Sat opponent.

ton 3. Chicago great wisdom is necessary, but
the feeling Of the masses and the character Of
che delegates chosen, justify the belief that the
convention win be well qualified to discharge
successfully its duties. From the date Of the
first preliminary meetings to the present time
thsre has bsen manifsstsd GdispOsitiOn to keel
steadily in view e. the paramount eonsldera'
iion, the success of principle instead Of men
While, therefore, the eouStTy has seen the de

the merits Of ambitious politicians, the FeoPl
have o right to expect from the convention
which meets in Chicago next week, such care
full, honest aud earnest consideration OF its act
as shall sink into insignisOanee personal pre-
eFcnees, in the common desire to promote th

A cold snap may make them q few days latter.
The last time Of their appearance here, Is43, a

snap happening just then, the first advsnturers
persisted, and the main body did not appear
above ground till about the Sd Of Juoe. Some

TURF IETELLIeENcE.-The next arrival from

it was believed at first that "Umpire" would
not show for the "rwo Thousand" the i'm

would be among the starters in which event,
as he has nothing of note but 'Lupelus' to
beat he mig it he be in anything like con-

Of over four miles, and is one of the most i'm

HIsToRY OF THE PosT OFFICE The first
post Office was established in France in 1884;
in England in 1881; in Germany in l64l; al
though one authority attributes the authorship
of the modern postal system to the Emperor
Ma1imilian of Germany, for the purpose Of
facilitating an espionage over the subjects
through the medium Of their correspondence,
and also for the purpose of enriching himself
by the profits Of the enterprise. The drst post
in America was established in New York in
l7l9. under the colonial governments. In 1888
the direction of the postal business of the
country was conferred on Congress by the
terms of the constitution. At that time there
were but rs post offices in the Union; in 1925
there were 6,677 At the commencement Of
1859 there were "a, ,573. -

day, during the consideration Of Mr.. Crows
bin for the organisation Of the new territory OF
Idaho, Mr. Clark of Missouri, gave notice Of
an amendment prohibiting the territorial leg-

AFRAID OF DISCUSSION oN-The meeting this
morning of the Tract Society was failure. 1t
was anticipated generally by the public that
the adjourned debate Of last year, on the duty
Of the society to recognize and expose the evil
Of slavery, would be resumed. As soon as the
body was organized, therefore, the Rev. Mr..
WoloOtt, of Chicago. arose, and moved resO-
luton TO the effect that the society ought TO
publish tracts setting forth the iniqritY of the
African slave trade. Mr.. WOlcost followed his
resolution with clear, vigorous and pungent
speech, in which, alter protesting the sincerity
Of his convictions, he argued the imperative
duty Of religious institution, eXerting so wide
and powerful an influence IS the Tract Society,
to incuIcste sound morals and religion, regard
less Of the prejudices Of society.
Mr.. Wolcott was heard with profound atteu-
ton, but when be had ceased speaking the
Rev. Mr. Lee Of Brooklyn, moved resolutions
that the Executive Committee be instructed TO
publish essays against the German lager beer
gardens and the evils of abolitionism. This
WAS intended to cast hdieule on the resolutions
Of Mr.. Wolcott, and succeeded SO far as to raise
brief laugh. But the majority of the asRem>
blaee, faring discussion of the subject Of
the slave trade, instantly carried an adjourn
ment, without allowing vote to be taken
Thus, grave religious body, at time when
the most infamous traffic known 10 human
history is extensively prosecuted and even JUS
titled, refuses to express an opinion in regard
TO it, lest it should leopard its Poeuniary inter-
ests a. the South.-[N. Y. Post, 10th.

WY HE Is WRATHY.-Presidsnt Buchanan,
it is said, has just decspitated George San.
dsrs, being lnstigated thereto partly by the
enormous bills he was obliged to pay for
Sanders impudent dispatches from the CIarles-
ton Convention. The following is specimen
Of the news for which the executive 50 dearly
paid:
"HIs ExcELLREcT JAMES BUCHANAN, PREsI-
DENT or THE UNITED STATES The minority

olutions at length.l Douglas will be nomina.
ted on the next ballot. Send for Douglas
immediately. Lose no time in making friends
with your successor All the past shall be
forgiven, and your particular friends shall be
retained ip Office. From one who often differs
with you in opinion, but never deceives you.
GRoRGE SANDERS"
For this delightful epistIe the President was
obliged % pay S2s telegraph tolls. For similar
infoTmatioa seorstary Cobb paid Sl4, aud
Senator Toombs Sl2. George says, in expla-
nation, that all these men can afford to pay for
important news, because they are rich; but he
prepaid all he sent 70 ClingmAn and other poor
devils who support Douglas.

IRoE FOR THE OAPIToL DoHE The amount
of iron thus far used on the dome at the new

ANOTHER TRGcr NEEDEB.-Some time since
Mr.. Douglas circulated 4 pamphlet entitled
7" Douglas an enemy to the North" i was
circulated at the South e help Douglas for the
Charleston Convention. As bis only hope is
now in the North, he would do well to get up
another tract entitled "Dougl1S an enemy TO
the South" He will then appear as be is, an
enemy to both sections.
