Charleston Convention.

There never was a time when the ma
ton looked with more intense interest for
the result of the deliberations of any
Convention and.there perhaps never was
a time when so much depended upon thai
result. Since our last issue the Con-
vention has apparently made no progress
towards a nomination. The Committee
appointed to frame a Platform, were un-
able to agree. They presented a major
ity and 70 minority platforms. The
Convention rejected all three ana refer
ferred them back to the committee. Our
last dates from there are up to Saturday
night.
We here give a very brief synopsis of
the proceedings on Saturday:
"Mr. Pugh of Cincinnati addressed
the Co%nventioA for two hours. His re-
marks were of the most scathing charac-
ter, such as were never before heard in
Charleston on that side of the subject
bold and powerful. He also went into
an argument to prove the C-onstitutionali-
ty of Squatter Sovereignty, quoting from
a speech of Senator Hunter on the Kan
sas bill TO sustain the views of himself
and friends now here.
He reviewed Mr.. Yancy's remarks
with great force and eloquence.
The Convention was next addressed
by MI. Bigler of Penn, in favor of rec
O%ncIling differences and preserving the
Democratic party.
He introduced Mr.. Bayard's resolu.
tons, hoping as a means of conciliation.
they would be sent to the Committee with
instructions to report them as a platform
in an hour.
Mr.. Richardson denounced the motion
as out of order.
The Chair decided Bigler's motion in
order, when that gentleman demanded the
previous question.
After numerous motions from various
members, Mr.. Mills, of MARYLAND Oh
tanned the floor. He wanted The oppor-
tunity to reply to the remarks Of his col.
league, Mr.. Johnson, who had charged
him with misrepresentin his constituents.
but was silenced by cries for the previ-
GUS question.
Al half past one o'clock Florida deman-
ded a vote by States, which produced We
ny great excitement.
Bigler's platform embodies the first Sec
ond and third of Mr. Bayard's resolutions,
and the third, fourth and sixth resolution:
of the majority Platform.
The vote was announced as follows
amid the greatest excitement Ayes, l52.

egates from South Carolina bot three,
and half Of the d elegatIon from Deia-
ware.
The Georgia delegation asked leave TO
retire that t6ev might consult on The ques-
ton.
Mr.. Glenn, of Miss. delivered IN be-
half of that State 4 powerful ana excll-
ing address, telling The Convention that
in less than sixty days they would raise a
united South, acting IN concert.
This was followed by deafenlng cheers
in which the galleries joined.
Mr.. Milton, of Florida told the North
and Northwest that as they had harden
ed thoir hearts and stitfened their necks
they parted from them with but little re-
greet.
The excitement in Charleston and IN
Washington is most intense. The Ten
nessee congressman, In response TO an
inquiry from the delegates from that
State, by telegraph, ad 5ised them to re-
main in the Convention. There is much
feeling in Charleston against the three
delegates from that state, that remained,
North Carolina stands firm and so doe;
Maryland.
Virginia Georgia and Kentucky were
consulting whether to Withdraw or re.

Death Oh ]. WatsNn TnlIis.

II is our duty TO record the death of
DR.. j. Watson TULLIs. His disease was
consumption, of which be died on We'd
nesday night last. On Sunday. after an
able and affecting funeral sermon at the
M. E. Church, by the Rev. w. w. Lyle,
his remains were followed to the grave
by a very large number Of acquaintance
and friends.
DIR. Tullis was a man of decided tai
ent, and had he not been shackled by i'll
health, would long ere this have been
widely recognized as one of the ablesi
Republican leaders in Western Ohio. He
was ambitious but honest. As a chris
tian, and as a politician, he leaves a rec.
ord that needs no erasures, no Correc-
tions, no explanations. Faithful TO his
principles, and to his honest convictions,
ambition never tempted him to waver. to
halt, to listen to the temptations held out
by the prospects of success. As a moral,
exemplary citizen. and an active, efficient
Christian, his death is an almost irrepa-
rable loss TO our community. Few had
more numerous or warm personal friends
than DR.. Tullis, and his family and rela-
tiyes have the sympathy of our whole
community in their heavy affection
Troy (O.) Times.
To hear of the death of an acquain-
lance never. fails to arouse a class of sor-
rOwful feelings; and when the departed
happens to be one with whom youthful
schoOlboy days have been spent, they be.
come doubly so. II was our good fortune
TO be a schOol-boy. and an associate in ri.
per years with DR.. TuLL1s. we say
good fortune, because he who mingles
with such exemplary men, even from
childhood up, cannot fail to be better and
wiser.
Few men Of DR.. Tullis' age possessed
more native or acquired worth; and, al.
though for some wise purpose. physical
affection had been lis lot for most of hi:
life, yet his brilliant talent shone out ever
through the diseased clay with sparkling
brilliancy. A long and intimate acquain.
lance, enables US with pleasure to endorse
all the Times says, and indulge in the
wish that the world contained 0 such
men as DR.. J. w. TuLIIs.

The Prlze Pight.

The last arrival from Europe brought
intelligence from the Prize fight between
Heenan and Sayers. They Tough, forty
rounds, when the ropes were cut, it was
supposed by Morrissy which let the mob
into the ring, and prevented the compile
ton of the fight. The contest was deci-
ded to be a draw. The first blood was
drawn from Heenan, but Sayers was first
knocked down. Sayers was knocked
down twenty-five or thirty times, Heenan
but once or twice; but Heenan showed
more signs Of punishment than Savers.
After the thirty-ffth round Savers be-
gan to loose all use of his right arm from
repeatedly warding off Heenan's blows.
Heenan became nearly or quite blind be-
fore the contest vas over, On the for
Itch round Heenan got bis arm around
Sayer's neck, and 20 all appearances was
strangling him. Cries of let him 60
were raised. Heenan. however, stuck to
his hold and the ring was broken in amid
the greatest confusion. The contest las
ted two hours and eight minutes. The
Indignation of Americans and of a large
portion of the British public is loudly and
vehemently expressed. The ring was bro
ken into by a pack of thieves who used
the excitement to pick pockets.
Heenun's friends would claim for him
the "belt." asserting that he had Savers
in such a position on the last round that
he must inevitably have been whipped.
HeeDan was in excellent spirits the
next day-expressing his entire willing
ness to renew the match, if Snyers de-
sired it.
In commenting on this fight the 81. 10.
Gazette, remarks:
"There is no Disgusting the fact that
all classes have suffered their feelings to
become somewhat enlisted in this 'bru-
tai affair." as it has been styled, and ma
ny have betrayed their feelings. who
would doubtless not like to have the fact
too widely known"

led forth curses from the anti Douglasite:
at Washington, while the friends of the
Little Giant say the estimate IS rather
below the truth, They can count posi-.
lively on a few more.

Stock Raising in Nebraska.

We presume our friends are satisfied
it will not DO to depend on the sale of va
rious products of our soil, and that they
must enter more extensively into stock
raising business. Nebraska is equal and
in some respects, superior to any por.
lions of the Eastern States for the sue
cessful result Of raising all kinds of stock.
Our seasons, generally mild and dry.
conduce 10 the speedy growthaD perfect
health of all animals. No country Is bet
ter fitted to the raising of sheep and hog.
and as TO grazing facilities, we scarcely
need say; none can excel.
Our farmers, should, therefore, feed
out our surplus crop TO stock and depend
on their sale for sbipmen, to a southern
or eastern market. And just here let US
say it costs no more to keep a good, than
a mean breed of animals. We advise
all who wish TO prosper IN the business tc
leave no pains spared in starting with
good stock.

Presidential Contest.

We are again to pass through the strife
of a Presidential Contest. The excite
ment viii, of course, run high, and many
scaihing denunciatIons be uttered. Our
laws allow federation of opinions, and
their free expression; this our fellow
citizens, throughout the land, should bear
in mind. But will they do it? We fear
not. For one politician to defame the
character Of anoIher is almost coetaneous
with the history Of the country /; no Office
seeker however pure. can escape; be Is
q tapget. and al him, missiles, thick and
fast, are hurled his a~nteoedents are dug
up from the grave Of the past. and if he
has committed a solitary indiscretion,
privately or publicly, the country is rapid
lymade acquainted with all the particulars.
Judging from the tone of American
journals, we have been an unfortunate
people, in the way of Presidents. When
did we have a President who was not de-
nouncea asa "demagogue, y h'tyrant" and
"traitor 2" Not since the administration
Of Washington, some may say yet, no
doubt he, though the model of presidents,
had the modification Of seeing the at
attempt made to tarnish his fair fame
When will The food of abuse, SANDER and
defamation cease among politicians?
We think a reformation, in political
ethics, is demanded. and would suggest
that out citizens refrain as much as posi-
bic from the mode of conducting cam
Paigns in the days of yore. If a party
antagonist has any good qualities, award
them to him; be honest, fair and liberal,
and shun falsehood above ali other things.
Should elections be managed in this way,
how great the influence in uniting and
cementing the hearts of the people. Good
men would be selected as candidates for
office; all apprehension about the perpet-
nifty of the "Stars and Stripes would
vanish, and the worst of Southern and
Northern fanaticism be 'felt and feared
no more in our land.
As long as men forget to practice for
bearance and federation, we may prepare
our minds for scenes of excitement, vio-
ience and bloOdshed. The tocsin will be
rung from the hiIl-tops and through the
valleys, and a mighty rush for battle.
Lsud cries heard from sections far and
near, ''~dissolution,' - dissolution :" down
with him crush him or all is lost; and
50 wild the excitement, a cool observer
would conclude our people had lost all
reason they ever had and should be sub
jec'ed tO'the straight jackets" and the
cooling regimen of a lunatic asylum.
We advise our friends to keep, at least,
about blood heat during the campaign.

LATER
The FI;reaters Spcede from The Convention.
Douglas probably nominated.

Since the above was in type we have
received the dispatches to ST. 10. contain
ing the proceedings of the Convention
up to Monday night. We have room for
but a small synopsis.
Toward the close of the day. after a
great many speeches. some bitter, and
some mild and conciliatory, Stewart, of
Michigan, obtained the floor, on a motion
TO reconsider certain resolutions, and pro-
Ceeded TO address the Convention, com
planning that whist those on his side had
given a respectful hearing to the South,
they had not been allowed to say a word
and he aud those who acted with him had
agreed never to agiIale the subject of sla-
very IN nor out Of Congress, and they
had kept that agreement. He was rea-
dy to yield money or property for peace,
but would not consent to yield his honor,
which was now demanded of him by the
South.
Mr.. Yancy replied al some length, de-
claring that Congress has the right to

lures when necessary.
Mr.. Stuart moved TO lay the motion 10
reconsider on the table, and called for
the previous question, but gave way to
Mr.. Walker, Chairman of the Alabama
Delegation. who arose and announced
that he had a communication from that
delegation to make to the Convention.
He then proceeded to read a statement
giving their reasons for Withdrawing from
the Convention. He also read a rpsolu-
ton declaring that in case the delegation
from Alabama should Withdraw, as adop-
ted by the convention of that State, no
other persons should represent that State
in the Convention.
The delegation rose to depart, when
Mr.. Barry of Mississippi. arose and stat
ed that the delegation FROM his State au-
thorized him to state to the Convention
that they would also withdraw.
This was followed by the Withdrawing
