The Third PsrtY Candidates.

AT the Union Savers Convention at Bal
timore, Hon. John Bell of Tennessee, wa:
nominated for President, and Hon. Edward
Everett Of Massachusetts, Vice President
These old fossils will probably play out the
farce with as much dignity as any other:
who could have been selected.
Speaking of third parties. it may be in.
teresting to know how, and for what pur.
poses they are got up and sustained. The
following testimony, of Sylvester J. Ma.
Cargo, a paper merchant and prOminentLO
cofOco politician of Philadelphia, which was
elected by the Investigating Committee
now in session at Washington, (the ap.
pointment of which SO riled the delicate
sensibilities Of Mr.. Buchanan,) throws
some light upon the matter. Here is an
extract from the testimony as published in
the Congressional Globe, verbatim.
Q. Did you receive any money for po,
litical purposes in Pennsylvania or New
Jersey, from Mr.. Wendell?
Witness-Am l really compelled to an
swer such questions?
Mr.. Kennedy think it is within the
scope of inquiry.
The Committee thought the question was
a proper one, and that it should be an
swered.-
A, 1 did, Sir. receive money at various
times for political purposes
Q. We're those moneys expended for
the promotion Of the interests of the Dem
%ocratic party?
A. Not all Of them. Some of it was
used for a third party, which was organ
lied to divert votes from what vas known
as the Peoples party with Us. The Poo
pies party was in opposition to the Demo
cratic party. We did not know there the
party organized as the Republican party
The opposition to the Democratic was call.
ed the Peoples party and to divert votes
from that party, the third party was or
ganized. The object was to divide the
Peoples party
Q. Was such a third party organized?
A. Yes, Sir.
Q. Did you believe that 1t was neces-
sary to the success of the Democratic par
ty?
A. We certainly did. or We should not
have given them the money.
Q. What was the third party called?
a. The straight American party. The
'straight-outs'
Q. You speak both of Pennsylvania
and New Jersey?
A. Yes, Sir.
Q. And of those States only?
A. Yes, Sir; of those only.

Meteoric Shower,

The Columbus Salesman, in speaking
Of the meteoric shower, noticed by them as
occurring a few days since, in Muskingun
County, says:
In Morgan, Muskingum, Coshocton,
Morrow and Tuscarawas counties the ex-
plosion was distinctly heard. Near Neon
nellsville several boys observed a huge
stone descend to the earth, which they aver
red looked like a red ball, leaving q line Of
smoke in its wake. A gentleman walking
in his field, near New Concord, heard a
terrific crash like thunder, which lasted
half q minute, and then plainly saw a large
body descending through the air in an an
Cling direction, with a velocity apparently
much greater than it could have attained
by It's own momentum. Going to the spot
where it touched the ground, he found a
rock, weighing over fifty pounds, embedded
in the earth a depth Of two feet The phe
nomena seems to be unprecedented. These
stones were found nearly fifty miles apart,
although the explosion was heard at all the
places mentioned from the direction of New
Concord. Houses were shaken by the
shock, and in one or two instances the
doors bursted open. 1t Occasioned a great
deal of CONSERVATION in that section of the
country, as well it might.

The Homestead Bill.

The Senate has been engaged all dal

Wade pressed with great vigor and discre.
ton through a session Of over nine hours
A-division was taken on the House bill, a.
an amendment, which was lost by 5 ma.
jOfity; All the Democrats, with two ex.
oeptions. voted negatively.
The Senate bill was amended, after much
difficulty. with a clause giving all persons
who have heretofore pre-empted, or may
hereafter. and shall have resided on the
land for five years continuously, a clear Il
Reto 100 acres
TAs Democrats fllibustered half s day
by.desering their seats, maudlin speeches
AID interpreting other obstacles.
Mr.. Hammond openly proposed. as q
means Of resisting the final vote which Mr..
Wade urged, a withdrawal from the Hall
and leaving no quorum. A nore f~actious
opposition was never witnessed throughout,
and. with individual exceptions. the whole
Democratic side resisted the bill at every
stage, and resorted to every ~expedient to
effect its defeat Such tactics have rarely
been seen the Senate. Finally, through
Ar. Wade's decision and refusal to take
any assurances IN trust, an adjournment
Ras carried. with the understanding that

A SLAVE Escaping N 4 CRocKERY
CRArE.-AmOng the freight of a certain
steamer, which arrived at this port night
before last, was a crate, which the captain
innOcently supposed to be filled with
queen ware, but which in reality con tain
ed a living negro. The shipment was
made at a town on the Cumberland river,
and none of the officers eve suspected the
contents to be other than were represent
ed in the bill Of lading till yesterday, when
one of the fremen of the boat made a rev.
citation of the fact to the astonished cap
tain. 1t was then too late to remedy the
matter, for the crate had been delivered to
the c~onsignee, and the adventurous negro,
who had pursued freedom under difficult
ties, was safely under the roof of one who
believed in that portion of the Mosaic dis
pcnsation which says,-'Thou shalt not
return unto the master the servant which
is escaped from his master &c.-Cincin.

Electiop Of Metbodist Bi.bons.

Nls thought two new Bishops will be
elected by the General Conference now in
session at Buffalo. The correspondent. Of
the New YOlk Times says:
The election Of Bishops viii not take
place TIL towards the close Of the session.
There VIII be but two chosen probably
The prominent candidates for the position
are Rev. D. W. Clark, Rev. Dr.. E. Thomp-
son Rev. DR.. c. Kingsley. Rev. DR.. James
Floy. Rev. DR.. John ?. Durbin, and Rev.
II. J. B. Morgan. Drs. Clark and Thomp-
son are supported by the Eastern and
Western Conferences; DR.. Kingsley, who
is. Chairman of the Committee on Slavery,
By the Erie and Pittsburgh and the Cen
tral Conference generally; DR.. Floy by the
East New. York and New England Confer
euces; DR.. Durbin, who is Corresponding
Secretary of the Missionary Society partly
in the Central and more conservative Dor
der Conferences, and Mr. Morgan by the
East Baltimore, and other border Confer
eHces All except the last two are Pro
gfcssiye.'
The o. S. Journal says
DR.. Thomson resides at Delaware, in
this State. and is well known in this re-
gion. DR.. Kingsley is still, we believe,
editor of the Christian Adrocate, at Gin
einnai. The election Of either as Bishop,
would be warmly commended BY those who
know them.

The Japanesa Embassy.

The long expected Japanese Embassy
has arrived at Washington. The japanese
came to Panama, from San Francisco. in
the Poichaaan, on the 9th ult., and BY
special train were conveyed across the
Isthmus, arriving at Aspinwall on the
morning of the 18th, where they took the
Roanoke, which vessel-says- the New
York Times orrespondent-has been kept
at Aspinwall 4 yeal for the reception Of
Embassy.
The Embassy has eighty tons of BAG,
gage, . large amount of treasure, and
fifteen large boxes of presents for tn.
President of the United States, among
which are several very handsome rifles,
manufactured at Yedo, and are an ingeni-
Gus improvement upon she Sharp rifle.
The Embassy cannot remain in the Uni
ted States longer than twenty-five or thirty
days. having the most positive orders from
Ty-con(which. in English, means ..Great
Master" the Commander in Chief Of the
Empire to return to Japan By tie FIST of
august aud certainly not later than helOh
of that month. This limited time is very
much regretted. because the Ambassadors
and officers will have but a brief period
in which to see u country, and the work
ing Of its institutions, and examine intothe
agricultural. commercial and mechanical
pursuits of our people.
A correspondent of the Times says.
In my opinion, none Of them will be
hanged for their beauty, whatever fate
may befal them. In the Indian delega-
tons that sometimes come to Washington,
may have a noble appearance and dignii-
cd front, but most of these are squat fg.
ures, scarcely five feet high any of them,
Eith big eyes. big mouth lank, sallow
checks, and of all the abominably dressed
people in the world, they are decidedly

Mr.. Chairman, it is not the first time

subjects without the authority of an act Of
Parliament He undertook to do it; and
the question was submitted to the court Of
sxchesDer. John Hampden tested the mat

twelve days with the laEyeTs of the Grown.

mitted to this House a few days since, by

We are bound to support the Constitution

not submit to have their Territories con
verted into slave States at the dictation of
the supreme Court Of the United States
