In Michigan, Gov Wisner declines a re-
nomination, and there is a general and very
enthusiastic movement, among the republi-
cans, to nominate Hon. Austin Blair of Jack
son, for governor Mr.. Blair deserves this
spontaneous testimonial to his ability amt
worth AT Chicago, where he was chairman
of the Michigan delegation, he won the respect
of all who became acquainted with him and,
no one who heard him, will be likely to forget
how sensibly and beautifully he spoke, on sec
onding the motion of Mr. Evarts to make the
nomination of Lincoln unanimous.
The friends of Douglas now talk OF breaking
up the Baltimore convention and appealing di-
rectly to the people in behalf of their favorite
candidate. His prospects of getting two
third vote do not improve. Guthrie for presi-
dent, and Erastus Corning for vice president,
is said to be the programme of a number of
southern democrats, at Baltimore.
The Ohio State journal learns that a move
ment is on foot to bring the name of Hon.
VIM Allen of Ohio before the Baltimore Con-
vention for the presidential nomination. 1t is
also said that the Hon. David Todd has some
expectations of the same sort. We see also
that Gov. Medary is urged for president on
the ground of his message vetoing the bill of
the Kansas Legislature to prohibit slavery
Medary ought to win
The Lancaster PENN Examiner has the
following in regard to the old line wings of
Pennsylvania "The Chicago candidates are
doing glorious work in the cold guard" al.
ready. Old line wings who, in moment of
kindly, neighborly feeling, consented to 90 for
Mr.. Buchanan in 1856, are on all sides falling
into line in support of that brave old wing
champion-in-arms, Abraham Lincoln. The
signs of the times augur well for an old fash
toned majority of five or six thousand in Lam
easter county, no matter who is nominated as
the democratic candidate"

| THE STEAM FIRE ENGINE which has been
purchased for the use OF the city, arrived here
| yesterday forenoon, by the express freigh
tram from the west. 1t was promptly carried
by the engineers and the committee OF the
city government, to its future quarters, In the
new engine House near Front street 1t is a
handsome, tastefully constructed machine,
weighing about 5000 pounds. Its boiler is made
according to Clapp's patent, with an engine of
rotary action. 1t holds forty-five gallons of
water. 1t has 220 iues or tubes of one inch
or more in diameter, and two feet in length,
and 227 square feet of fire surface.
A fire engine of similar construction in Bos-
ton, called the Eclipse, which has been in nse
year and half, has recently thrown an inch
and quarter stream 247 feet high; what this
one can do will be seen at the trial this after
noon, at two clock.
The engine is a rotary one, as we have said,
with an Independent pump" of Hawley's pa
tent 1t is capable of making from three hun
cred to four hundred revolutions per minute
1t will throw about gallon of water at one
