The Governor Declines.

Some of the black republican sheets
announce upon authority that Governor
WIsNER declines to allow his name TO 90
before the State convention for a re-
nomination. Attorney General HowARD
has refused to allow the use of his name,
and has stated his reasons in published
letter. Why does not tho Governor give
the public the benefit of his reasons also?
OF course he must have some, and very
urgent ones too, as he is entitled to re-
nomination by all party usage. Let the
public know why it is that he thus
peremptorily declines all further honors
at the hands Of his friends. 1t now only
remains for MCKINNEY to refuse the use
of his name for a denomination, and then
they will be complete, for this is the trio
who have been conspicuous above all
others in the financial operations of late
by which the State has been swindlcd
out of so much money.-free Press.

The Baltimore Convention.

The constitutional union convention
assembled at Baltimore on "Wednesday,
May 9, and adjourned the nextday, having
complished the whole object for which it
was called together The delegates were
for the most part self-appointed, for, al
though twenty-five or more States were
represented in whole or in part, yet
twelve States alone appointed regular
delegations. This was convention
without any hackers, and the delegates
for the most part represented nobody but
themselves. This applies more especially
to the northern States, form the southern
States the opposition vote viii doubtless
rally to the support of the ticket that has
been placed in nomination. But even in
these States they are largely in the mi
nority, so that their Presidential candi-
date will scarcely stand as good chance
of polling eight electoral votes in the
whole Union as Fillmore did in 1856
The party is composed mostly Of oldline
wings, those who, entertaining the con-
servative principles they had learned of
Clay and Webster, could not enter into
the sectional, abolition, black republican
organization, and retained too much of
their old prejudice to unite with the
democrats. The party is of the very
highest responsibility, and it numbers
among its members men of the very first
ability; but it lacks in one great essen
tial, and that is in votes. Those being
wanted, responsibility, talent, and all the

Fatal Balloon Accident.

NEW YORK, May III.
Mr.. Connor was advertised to make a
second balloon ascension yesterday from
Palace garden. Despite the violent
gusts of wind which now and then sprung
up, and the circumstances of his friends,
he persisted in attempting the ascension,
but no sooner had the balloon left the
ground than it was dashed with great
force against the Concert Saloon which
faces the Garden. The basket caught
for moment under the projecting caves
Of the building, and then was hurled
against skyight with great force. The
balloon instantly collapsed. Mr.. Connpr
was found on the roof of the building,
and the physicians who were Immediately
summoned ascertamed that his injuries
were principally internal. During the
evening he remained insensible, and ex-
pired at IL p. Nj. Mrs. @. witnessed the
casualty, and would probably have shared
her husbands fate had the ascension
power of the balloon been found sufficient
to carry up two persons, as it was her in
tention to attempt voyage.

LOG RUNNING - From b. A. Ripley,
Esq, who last winter got in large lot
of logs, in town 10 North, to run down
Black River, we learn that he has not yet
been obliged to stop running logs, though
a part of the time it has been pretty slow
work His men have been at work q
good part of the time, where, within the
past two years, the channel of Black
River has been opened out through town
u north, and about two miles into town
ID. On Saturday last, most of his logs
in these townshad been run down through
the channel thus opened, to the main
stream, and one good rain would entirely
clear out the river near its source,
In opening the channel last fall they
discovered large charred trees, nearly
two feet under ground, that had evident
ly lain there for centuries, as large trees
two feet in diameter stood on the bank
of the stream, having grown there since
the soil had accumulated above the buried
timber. How long it had taken this sol
to accumulate above this timber we will
not venture conf lecture Sani2ae Jefer

some nineteen persons had been attacked,

the victims, about 20 years Of age, died.
Dr. Downer, of this city, was promptly
called on Monday, and under his care the
