The number of votes cast for Secreta
ry OF State in the great Democratic State
Convention was 391. The number o.
votes cast for the same Office in the Re
publican State Convention was $40 l.
Forty counties were reported represented
in the Democratic Convention. Seventy
three counties aoere represented in the
Republican State Convention. The Dem
ocrats call their Convention stupendous
affair. What, then, should the Republi.
can Convention, with its formidable ar.
ray Of delegations. be styled The ra-
ito Of 39l to $40 is nearly as 13 to 21.
The same ratio will hold good when the
claims Of the two parties shall come for
final adjudication at the ballot.box. In
popular vote of 100000 at the October
election, the same ratio will give Mahony
d. Co. $4,000 votes in the State Of Iowa;
and it will give the Republican State
ticket vote OF $4,000. showing a clear
majority for the true Union party Of 24,-

lie accordingly, with this terrifying ad-
dilion--that a total dissolution of the
world by FIRE was to take place on the
Friday following. The reputation which
Mr.. Winston had long maintained, both
as divine and philosopher, left little OF
no doubt with the populacs Of the truth
of his prediction. Several lud,crou,
events now took place. A number Of
persons about London seized al the
barges and boats they could lay their
hands on, on the river Thames, very
nationally concluding that when the con
aagration took place. there wonld be the
most safety on the water. A gentleman
who had neglected family prayers for
better than five years, informed his wife
that il was his intention 10 resume the
laudsble practice the same evening but
his wife, having engaged ball at her
house. persuaded her husband to put il

secret Political Societies.

The Louisville Journol, SAYS, that
" the bare fact that political organiza
tion, order, or society, in time of war, ia
secret and oath bound. is prima facie ev-
idence, and exceeding ly strong evidence,
of its thoroughly reasonable character. %
We agree with our cotemporsry in toto,
that secret political society in a season
of war involves with almost absolute GER
tainty conspiracy against the life Of the
country. The fact Of secrecy in polit-
ical organization, involves the idea of op
position to some established order or
principle of Government. and in time Of
peace should not be tolerated, while in
time of war it should be denounced as
reasonable.
All over the States of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Iowa, the Democra party
is organizing secret societies. II is said
that over seven hundred Of these treason
able organizations have been formed in
the Stale Of Illinois. while we know they
exist numerously all through our own
State. In some places they are called
Knights of the Golden Circle :" in 9th
srs, the Order Of the IS. p. B.'s," or
the Self Protecting Brothers," In some
parts of Iowa, Cedar Rapids. for instance,
they call themselves the "Sons of 70"
These societies claim TO have ten thou.
sand members in Ohio, as many in Indi.
ana, and still more in Illinois. How
many they have in Iowa, we have no
means of ascertaining.
The principle object of these traitor
Gus associations is, TO overthrow the ad-
mihistration of Mr.. Lincoln. They bode
no good TO the country, and every man
who loves the Union and would see il
preserved intact, will keep himself clear
from all secret political associations at
time like this, when the open and avow-
ed and united sentiment Of the North is
necessary to preserve our nation free
people.-Darenpot Gazette.

A POSTAGE STAMP CuRIENcY.-T The
bill making United States postage stamps
legal tender, in order to obyia,e the small
silver change difficulty under which the
country is now suffering, passed both
Houses Of Congress Thursday and ia
now law.
BY this act the Secretary oflhe Treas.
ury IS authorized to prepare an issue Of
postage stamps OF the various denomiua
tons, including one, three. five. ten.
twelve and twenty cents, which are TO be
printed on substantial thick paper and
without the ordinary gum on them. In.
asmuch as the Governments faith il
pledged to these stamps, of course they
Will be JUS, as good as any other of the
Government currency.
The act prohibits any private or bank.
ing corporation from issuing any note.
token or device in the shape of money.
Of less denomination than one dollar
under very severe penalties. This will
put an end TO private shinplaster spec
ulation, and will give the country n con
venient and sufficient substitute for small
silver change. The new issue is TO be-
made on the lst OF August.

SINCE the Lincoln administration Of
the United States has put step to slave
traders from New York. those neiarious
rascals have selected Liverpool for fitting
out their ships. The British authorities
find il difficulty to trace their operations.
so secret and sure are they. The sin
now lies At the door Of John Bull. the
model philan,hropist and general world
reformer. Recent convictions OF slavers
have altered the position of America, and
driven the atrocious traffic beneath the
shadow OF the British flag.

Since the great battle of Shiloh. and

that the master race of this continent is
founded in the Southern States. OF a
better stock, originally. and habitualed

strong in numbers and ambitious from
prosperity, have revolted acains, and
now seek 10 overthrow and DESTROY those
whose superiority was a constant source
OF envy and self-reproach. There i, no
