LINCOLN ahead cf Potter.

In IS43-'4, a difficulty arose between Gen
eral Shields and Lincoln on account Of words
spoken by the latter who aninadvcrtcd 50
strongly upon Shields course he could not rest
under the indiction, and in thoughtess mo-
ment sent Lincoln chalenge--lttle dreaming
we suppose, that the staid, uneXcitabe man.
Lincoln, would accept. But. true to himself,
Lincoln did not hesitate nc accepted the chal-
lenge, and chose the broadsworl as his weapon
wherewith to make peace with his enragcd ad-
versary.
After the usual preliminaries, the day was
agreed upon when the party should meet and
decide upon each others bodies who did COM
nit the fault. Mr.. Lincoln, fearful of interfer-
ence by the legal authorities, kept hims If out
oil their way and was on the ground at the ap-
pointed time. Mr.. Shields, not so cautious in
the intervening time ran right against an off
Ger of the peace, who could not help arrestng
him, knowing the whole affair and having a
warrant in his pocket for that purpose, took
Mr. Shields in charge and made him give bonds
to keep the peace That is, we presume, to
keep the piece of Shields whole, and not allow
the long arm of Lincoln to cut it to pieces.
Mr.. Lincoln cannot be called good looking
man, and we do not presume a broadsword
would add to his good looks.

HEsITATING CoNsERvATIvEs--The Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser of the 5th inst thus
speaks of the probable accessions to the Re
dublican party:
The great body of the conservatives of West
ern New York are already arraycd in support
of Lincoln and Hamlin. Lingering in the
rear of the movement, but sure to join it at
last, are, however, considerable number of
that class of men who accumulate in large com
mereial cities like Buffalo-men not engaged
in actual political life not seekers of Office, not
especially attached to any party, unless it be
the old Wing organization, whose political in
f1uence, SO far as mere numbers are concerned,
might be spared in the present aspect of par
ties but whose Endorsement has all the value
which belongs to sound and sober Judgment,
pure motives and undoubted Integrity.

Might Air

An extraordinary faacy is a dread of night
air. What air can we breathe at night but
night air The choice is between pure night
air from without, and foul night air from with
in; most people prefer the latter. An unac-
countable choice. What will they say if il
is proved to be true that fully one half of all
the diseases we suffer from is occasioned by
people sleeping with their windows shut. An
open window most nights in the year will hurt
no one This is not to say that light is not
necessary for recovery. In great cities night
air is often the best and purest air to be had
in the twenty-four hours. l could better un-
derstand shutting the windows in towns during
the day than during the night for the sake
of the sick. The absence of smoke, the quiet
all tend TO make night the best time for airing
the patient. One of our highest medical au-
thorities on consumption and climate, has
told me that the air in London is never so
good as after ten o'clock at night. Always
air your room then, from the outside air if
possible Windows are made to open, doors
are made to shut--a truth which seems ex-
tremely difficult of apprehension. Every
room must be aired from without-every pas
sage from within. But the fewer passages
there are in hospital the better.-F2orence

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

The Convention which convened at Columbus
on fhe 18th inst. for the purpose of nomina-
ting State Ticket, was largely attended, har-
monious and enthusiastic, and in point of ma
terial not surpassed by any similar assembIage
that has preceded it. The nominees are gen.
tlemeu eninently fitted for the posts for which
they are proposed, and their election by tri-
umphant majority is a matter of certainty.
A temporary organization was effected by
calling Judge PALMER, of Hancock, to the
Chair, and choosing a number of Secretaries,
when committee of one from each Congress
sonal district was appointed, lst. On Creden-
tials 3D. On Permanent Organization and
Rules. Sd. On Resolutions. The committees
were constituted as follows

The fact, that three American save-ships
with cargoes from the baracoons of Africa,
have been captured in the attempt to land
their human freight in the Southern States of
this Union, by whose laws such trade is pira-
cy, at any other time than the present would
cause immediate and stringent action in Con
cress in relation thereto. But the country is
too much engaged in President-maxing. The
law-givers have too much at stake in the
chances of the succession. The question who
is to have the distribution of the spois is too
interesting to allow men to care for this out
rage against law and humanity, and Christian
itv and the common sense of mankind.
More than seUenteen hundred native Afri-
cans are now collected at Key West-the pro-
ceeds, still left by disease, of three cargoes
collected on the coast of Africa aud brought
to this coast under the protection Of the
American flag. Yet there is not only no
punishment for the thieves and pirates who
openly thus transgress the laws, but they are
when arrested, rescued from the custody of
the United States officers, and jais are broken
into bv mobs as at Savannah. to rescue these
violators of the law and illustrators of the
new school of Southern Democracy.-Bd

REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION

REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION
At the Congressional Convention for this
District, held at Springfield in the fall of 1858,
resolution was passed fixing the ratio of rep
resentation in the Convention to be held the
present year and devolving upon the Chair
men of the Central Committees of the several
counties of the District the duty of nam
ing time and place of meeting. During the
sitting of the recent State Convention at Co
lumbus, four of the five Chairmen were pres
ent, and the matter was submitted to the en-
tire delegation from the district. The result
was an agreement that the District Conven-
ton shall be held on Tuesday l4th August
next at UrbaBa. An effort was made by the
delegations from Delaware and Union to have
it held at Marysville or Milford but it was
not successful, and Urbana thereupon as
scnted to as the next most central and acces-
sibie point in the district. 1t is somewhat re-
mote from Delaware, but not more so than
Springfield which place was the only competitor
for the proposed honor. The ratio Of repre-
sentation, if our recollection serves US, is one
vote for each hundred received by Gov. Denni-
son last tall with an additional one for frac-
ton of so or more-whch will give Delaware
