The state of affairs here last night was very
far from being either agreeable or creditable.
The delegates were exceedingly ill-natured
and exasperatGd, and there was any amount
of drunkenness about the various hotels, where
many men were quarrelsome. LII one case
pistols were drawn, but Il strong arm and de-
termned look upon the other side sent it
speedily back. the efforts of the tire-eaterS
to induce the southern states to bolt, are very
strenuous.
Saturday EUening.-There is a good deal of
excitement and discussion in barrooms and
on the sidewalks about candidates. The
Douglasites are wavering, as shown by the
freedom with which they mention their Sec
ond choice They talk johnson to the Ten
ncssee delegates, and Guthrie to the Kentuck-
ians, and so on through the list. They are
ready to trade with any body, and are less CON
fident of winning on the merits of candidates
than heretofore. Everything is at loose ends,
and all sections are demoralized. The day is
chiefly remarkable for general breaking up
of everything. The Douglas men openly ex-
press hope that five states will bolt the plat
form. No concealment is made of suspicious
that the convention may break up in riot.

The House will transact no business, proba-

a speech explaining the position and purpose

manufacturing interests of the country &c.
He also ridiculed the threats of non-intercouse
and dissolution of the Union.
Mr.. WADE of Ohio, justified his endorse

an infamous lie on northern men to say
republicans want to overthrow southern insti'

Return Of Mr.. Couch.

John B. Cough, the celebrated tenn
pcrance lecturer, arrived 4! Boston 4
few days since, in the Arabia. I'm
mcdiately on his arrival he received
a letter signed by four hundred and
eighty clergymcn of different dcnomi-
nations, inviting him TO a public re-
ccption at fremont Temple, on some
day to be hereafter named.
Mr.. Cough has been lecturing in
Great Britain for some three years,
and has attained in England, Scot
land and Wales great popularity
though he became involved IN libel
suit, which turned to his own advan-
tagc, as he gained heavy damages.
Born in England, he came to this
country when a boy, and became a
victim to intempcrancc. The KIND
ness of "a friend saved him from utter
ruin Of mind and body, and he signed
the pledge. From that tlhle lie Srau
ually rose, and became the most IA
mons of our temperance orators. lie
was invited to lecture six weeks be-
fore the National Temperance League
of Great Britain, and went there, but
remained two years. lie then revls-
tied America, and subsequently re-
turned to England, where he has spent
one year in Scotland and Ireland, and
two in England. During this last
stay abroad he has delivered three
hundred and ninety addresses to al
aggregate of at at least half million
hearers, nearly twelve thousand Of
whom are said to have signed the
temperance pledge.

come and to which your children are
born
The talk about sCctionalism, and
Judge Clark's assertion that he was a
national man-that his affections eX-
tended over the whole Union, We're
happily answered 10y Col. Warren, who
showed that Mr.. Lincoln was nomina-
ted by eighteen more rotes than Mr.. DouA-
las received, while Herschell V. john
son was so unsound as to be kicked
out Of the Baltimore Convention, al
though kicked into his nomination
three days afterwards by committee.
But we have not time to pursue the
argument of Col. Warren further.
Suffice it to say that his speech was
able, eloquent and convincing, and
the frequent cheers and loud applause
of the audience showed conclusively
that his hearers were nearly all with
him in heart and sentiment.

Farming.

1t is common to remark that the
farmers do not make anything by
their labor, but the best evidence that
they do get ahead is the thrifty APP
pcarance of the farms in many Of the
counties Of the State Most of the
land was settled by men who begun
with nothing but stout hands and
good health. Yet portions of orr
State after culture of only four or
five years, bear the appearance OF the
rich farms of Eastern States. AS an
illustration of what may be obtained
in good year from our fertile soil,
farmer who owns three hundred acres
in ncighboring county, says that
since his wheat is harvested--it is so
ample and of such good quality, that
even at moderate prices he feels quite
sure of making a profit this year OF
two thousand dollars over and above
a generous support Tor HIS fanny
His farm and buildings have not cost
him over $4,000 We doubt whether
any other business in the State will
show so clear profit as that. Farm
crs, of course, have hard years-as
all other business men do, but in the
average of years they make where
the soil is so fertile as it is in our
State, a greater profit than any other
business in the same community.
They generally begin without much
capital, whereas no other business can
bc transacted without more or less

The address of the Breckenridge
National Committee says that Mr..
Douglas is travcrsing the country, cs'
peciaIIy in the North and East, dosing
out the panacea Of "sqnatter sove
rcignty" as remedy for all our ills,
appealing to the "higher law" and
endeavoring, with the magic Of his
words and his presence, to cajole the
people to his support. In this he
will miserably fail. In the exalted
position of President of these United
States, the people will exact some
thing more than the qualities of a
travelling mountebank.

AN ANTICuss-IXG STATE.-It may
not be generally known that the re-
vised penal code passed last winter in
Pennsylvania makes all persons who
speak loosely or profanely of God or
the Bible liable to an indictment for
blasphcmy, the penalty Of which is a
fine not exceeding one hundred dol
lars, or Imprisonment not exceeding
three months.
The law was evidently passed in
view Of tae defeat of the Democracy
in 1860, when it was expected that
the swearing would be terrific in Penn
sylvania.
