Wisconsin has chosen a very able and respected
delegation to the Chicago Convention, headed by
Carl Shurz, and instructed it unanimously to pre-
sent and support WILLIAM III. SEWARD as the Re-

naturally be well weighed by the Convention.

A State Convention of the citizens of Missouri
hostile to the party msruling the country in the
abused name of Democracy, assembled on Wednes'
day at Jefferson City, and was very fully attended
This Convention unanimously presented the na.le
Of EDWARD BATES to the country as candidate
for next President, ard planted itself Though
largely made up of slaveholders) on platform OF
opposition to the doctrines of Buchanan aud his
satellites respecting Slavery in the Territories and
its indefeasible right to go thither
The Republicans of Missouri will in due time
teId strong delegation to the Chicago Convention
to urge that body to concur in the selection of Mr.
Bates as the candidate of the Republicans not only
but Of all other opponents of the novel and mon
stIous beresies of the present Federal Admmlstra-
ton which ailirms the inherent right of any slave
holder to plant Slavery in any Territory of the
Union, in defiance even of all the rest OF its H.
baSitauts and uphold it there until that Territory
shall have been admitted as State of the Union
The Missouri Delegation will be prepared to render
what to them appear very gent reasons Tor
general acquiesceIee of Republicans in the unani-
nous desire of those of their own Stale with regard
to the Presidency.
We do not assert that this choice ought to be ac-
quieseed in by the Republican National Convex
ton, though there are obvious and fOrcible reasons
which indicate an affirmative response. We only
insist that the Republicans of Missouri and those
who sympathize with them shsIl not be condemned
unheard The current slang importing THAI the
man of their choice is not with Us in the struggle
against the Extension of Slavery is absurd, while
the threats of boiling in case he shall be nominated
are insulting to the Convention, implying dis
trust alike of its sagacity and its integrity Alter
all views fha have been calmly heard let the Con-
yentien decide what is best for the cause, and let
US all be ready to give efficacy to Its decision.
Threats of boiling like threats of disunion can only
| injure those who make them.

As- Some OF the l~anccyite organs, we notice, 7ah=
lsh with great ele", the following remarks OF HENRY
CLAY, to John G. Breckinridye, upon his first victory
in the Ashland District Of Kentucky:
"Najor Breeklnrilge, l congratulate you. You
are worthy 10 represent tile pc pie OF this district.
whose esteem and favor have been the chief objects
of my ambition. and the mos pI ecious rewards III my
long and laborfous life = and then dropping his voice
to the miller zone of affection, he added :. Ny dear
John, be true To your name. Never forget YOU aFea
kentucklan and a Breckinrid &c. and the highest hon
os of the Republic, or what is more valuable, the
Consciousness of having served we'll your country,
will be your glorious reward"
Had Mr.. CAY lived to see the young man he 50
coInplimented at the time mentioned, surrounded by
all the host of Southern. fre-eating Secessionists-th
candidate of the man Yaneey, who is so anxious to
preclpitste the Cotton States into a revolution, he
would have taken ell those compliments back, and
have told him that a fair exterior does not al
ways reveal the heart. Breckinridge then aud now
are different men.

On DoS'r.-The Louisiana Democrat, published al
alexandria. seems to be much troubled with the
''peezy weezy" just now at the rapid increase of the
Bell ringers IN this State. The editor of the Demo.
crat it must be observed, is the 'sright-bower'' Of hi.
Fxcellency THOMAS O. MOORE, therefore a vast amount
of fun and breckinridgeism is expected from him.
In the last number of his paper he gets off the fol.
lowing exquisite n,o'cea,-we are really sorry that
the sweet visions of our confres are disturbed by
those horrid bells:
In the absence of platform, principles and objects,
the supporters of Bell and Everett nave restored to
singing silly songs with accomplishments of bells OF
all descriptions. All the little ragamafins in the
Northern and Western cities who attend the Bell and
Everett gatherings-as well as many of larger growth
bear bells of some description to ring by way Of ap-
ylause The article which predopinates in these hide
Gus uproars of discordant clappsfs, is the common,
cheap, dismal cow-bell.

Nix. BREckINRIpGE's WirIDRAwAL.-A CORES fo,!dent
of the Philadelphia Press, writing from Washington
the 18th, Considers Mr.. Breckinridge's withdrawal
merely a question Of time and thinks che may wait
as long as the 18th of September." He says:
"Although the Breckenridge Comm ttee denies that
Mr.. Rreckinrifge is gong to resign, yet the rumor
has not abated. The thing is il itself so plausible,
thai it is isl possible for tie honest masses to com
prehend otherwise. Breckenridge has nothing but
ruin and defeat TO expect from his nomination,
crowned By an early, ignominious death after a bril-
liant career. If he resigns, the Northern Democrats
may forgive lin, and take him again To their hearts.

1t is one Of which our State may be proud, bearing as
it does, wherever it is known, a reputation uusur-
passed by the most celebrated medical colleges q,
Europe or America. That some idea of the fame of
the University may be given, there were in the classes
OF ~lSo9-'6O, four hundred and two matriculates, and
one hundred and thirteen graduates in the de part-
