MERIDEN, JAN 18.-The Manufacturers
Convention was opened this morning with
large attendance, by the appointment of A. c.
Crosby as president, with eight vice presidents
and three secretaries. A committee on reso-
buttons was appointed, of which Mr.. Babcock
of the New Haven Palladium was chairman.
A resolution offered by E. S. Cleveland Of
Hartford was passed, condemning attempts
for partizan purposes to persuade the people
of the South that Northern people sympathise
with assaults upon them.
Mr.. Babcock, for the committee on resolu-
tons, reported the following, which were
adopted by over 100 majority, minority of
the convention, after several fruitless efforts
to defeat the majority, having left the hall in
a body, about 50 in number. The convention
adjourned after passing the usual vote of
thanks to the officers.
The resolutions appeal to the honor and
good faith of all sections to sustain the Con-
stitution condemn the spirit of notification
and dsunion now prevalent in the slave states,
the spirit which drove Mr.. Hoar from South
Carolina, and struck down Charles Sumner
in the Senate, and which over-ran Kansas with
fire and sword. They also condem Browns
raid upon Virginia, and deny that the desire
prevails in the free states to interfere with
slavery in the slave states.

that Mr. Covode did write such letter as de-
scribed, but it was addressed to some Of his bit

Mason and Gov. Smith wearing home-spun :

and vest, Irish linen, and Swiss watch, and, as
had been suggested, an Australian under-shirt
(Laughter.)
Mr.. CoyoDE said that those who refused to
vote for Mr.. Montgomery, were the latter's
neighbors and knew his colleague better than
he did. He (Mr. Covode) never knew that
Mr. Gilmer was in favor of the slave code.
Mr. MONTGOMERY said that they voted
against him because he was Democrat.

The Harper,s Ferry Investegation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. I8.-Mr. Army was TO-
day again before the Harper's Ferry Commit
tee of the Senate. They refused to allow him
to go to Kansas for his books and papers. His
testimony was taken but though he accounted
for large sums of money and great quantity
of arms collected in 1856 and 1857, to be en-
ployed in Kansas, nothing was elected from
him concerning Browns raid into Virginia.
He testified that when Brown first appeared
in Kansas he was Quaker and remained so
until Atchison developed his plans, and his
own sons were murdered and property de-
stroyed by pro-slavery men, when he changed
his principles, became enraged, if not madden
ed, and in the spirit of revenge, pursued the
pro-slavery men with the sword.

Railroad Disaster.

NEW York, Jan. 18.--A collision occurred
this morning, in the Yorkville tunnel, on the
Harlem railroad, between the early Harlem
and New Haven train both going one way.
Both trains were crowded with passengers,
and, for a few minutes, there was intense ex-
citen.ent No lives were lost however, but
some forty or fifty were injured, four of them
seriously. Mrs. Elijah Bradford of White
Plains had three ribs broken. The engine of
the New Haven train was disabled The acct
dent was caused by the sudden stopping of the
Harlem train while the New Haven train was
close behind.

From washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-There were indica-
tons, to-day. on the part of the Republicans,
to have night session, with view, if posi-
be of bringing the contest for the Speaker
ship to a Close But sufficient number of
them were not united for that purpose. The
galleries were crowded to the utmost by per-
sons of both sexes.
Several senators are preparing speeches to
be delivered next week on the slavery ques-
ton. Some of the most intimate friends OF
Senator Seward, say that he has no idea Of
making any speeches during the present fever

At Johnstown, last week, we had the
pleasure of meeting with Gen. Henry ID.

same courteous and clever gentleman that

occasion referred to, in company with
some of his peculiar political friends, our

quite out of the equestion, without making
ourself an intruder We did not even
have an opportunity to ask him whether
he was for Douglas or for Breckenridge ?
Nor did he voluntarily tell US. This we
much regret. We have heard the point
mooted considerably hereabouts, and yet
nowhere have we seen or heard it satisfac-
torily solved. To have been able this
week to state, upon the authority of the

people to meet in theirrespective boroughs

lect delegates to represent them in a nom-
mating Convention, at Ebcnsburg, on the

as delegates, but men who are honest and
capable-men who are more devoted to
the promotion of our party and its princi-
pies, than 10 the advancement of any par
ticular candidate or candidates. In the
Convention, all local prejudices should be
laid aside, and all attempts to pull strings
or work wires calculated TO disturb the

upon. Let the ticket be composed Of

To TIE EDITOR OF TIE ALLEGHASIAN -
The hOuHtdrHeer of last week says that the
Republicans and the Secedcrs agree in the
mann point namely: that Congress has the
right to interfere; aud only differ as to wheth
er it shall protect or abolish (slavery.) Also
see resolution Sd THAT we continue firm IN
the opinion that Congress has no right or
power to legislate upon the subject OF slavery
the States, nor has IL the right or power,
nor would II Oe expedlent tor Congress TO es-
tablish slavery in any Territory, or 10 exclude
II therefrom.
1t is said that the man that cannot rule his
own house well not III TO rule = society,"
And it Is with the United States. The
trainers of the Constitution have said that
Congress is the head of the United States as
house with its increasing family. This
family commenced in the wilderness, and had
to TIA the ground with such teams snd imple-
mentS they had on hand. such oxen.
horses, &c. But the oldest son became dis
satisfied ut using oxen, and preferred to have
horses to DO the work on the iarn- The sec
ond son was for retaining the oxen, and so
the GU rrel commenced. Some Of the other
sons took part in the quarrel with each Of
the two sons in their turns. The .ither look
ed on inditfereutly, whilst it was his duty 10
regulate the affairs OF the family and prevent
their Quarreling. Therefore the third sou
went to his father and begS him to rule his
own house. Bat another son went to his
father and told him that he had 10 right 10
interfere with them So the father sits qui-
etly down, and looked on to see his sons get
blackened eyes, broken legs, &c.l l ask
every man of common sense II this father did
his duty.
This father with his family commenced to
clear new field, called Kansas and Nebras-
ka; but before the first acre was cleared, the
sons began disputing how this field was TO be
ulled-with the hoe. with horses, with oxen.
or with sll three together. Butthey could not
agree. Then they appealed TO the father, as
II was their duty to do. SO he ran line
east and west through the field. ami put such

side, and the others on the north side, to use
horses only. Those on the south side became
dissatisfied because they were not permitted
20 take oxen owe" the line. They again ap-
piled to their father to have that line annulled,
so that they might take their oxen wherever
they pleased. The father again foolishIv
complied, and annulled the line But when
they commenced to take their oxen over the
line, those on the North side would not per
init it. So the quari el commenced again
Now at whose door does eli this mischief lie ,
Undoubtedly at the fathers; because he was
master in his own house, and had the power
to say how and in what manner his farm,
should be titled, and to compel his sons To
obey his orders. And if he neglects to use
his authority to prevent his sons from quar-
reling, | say again that such a man is not fit
to rule a nation. STEPHEN LLOYD
