\ Narrative a.:es Ss@ duplication.

In one of his .etters, SIDNEY SMITH
states, that, shortly after his public criti-
&iSln on American securities, he received
rom q friend in New York an account of
the proceedings OF & meeting, in which the
former was made to figure in prominent
and various aspects The account went
Oh to state that, it having been announced
Il, the city papers that SIDNEY SMITH had
arrived in the last packet and taken rooms
"t u popular hotel, . number Of citizens,
nate at the sarcastic handling to which tie
Yankees had been subjected by the cynic-
al priest, assembled together 70 consider
what should be done 80 avenee fho insult
ii hi; presence iii their midst.
The account turt!tr states, that, after
Tie Reverend object had been whereasod
down to the proper depth Of turpitude, a
resolution was offered that they should
proceed forthwith to tar and feather the
;aid SIDNEY SMITH, and ride him on 8
"a !. This resolution seemed to meet the
Jews of the meeting, and was about to be
adopted, without dissent, when one OF the
gentlemen arose, and proposed an amen !
ment, that they should tender the Revo-
renl Doctor the compliment Of a public
dinner. The amendment was carried amid
the greatest enthusiasm committees on
;oasts, speeches, invitations, and arrange
!nents generally, were appointed: when
it unfortunately resulted that the SIDNEY
SSl!rn who was announced in the papers
wis not the Reverend SIDNEY SMITH they
..a,! taken him to be. Consequently, the
account proceeded to say, the compliment
;;.ry dinner failed to come Off.
There is moral and sarcasm combined
II. tie narrative Of SIDNEY SMITH CORES
pendent The moral is, that next TO tar
.inr and feathering, the mot eiiectual
way to render q man publicly ridiculous
i to make him the guest and hero OF Il
public dinner The sarcasm, Of course,
IS directed against the vanity which is a
VI dominating trait Of our national char
acter, and which reve!s in the opportuni-
ties for display which the dinner table al
lords; aud the snobbery, which leads our
people, almost instinctively, to clutch at
:I,e coat-tail of any ass Of rank or title,
As to the sarcasm involved, we have no
sire to make a local application. But
as to the moral, we are impelled to apply
that by considerations of the tenderest
sympathy. General PORE is in too low es-
teen to make his further degradation
otherwise than painful even to dull sensi-
bilties. To expose him to ridicule beyond
that which has made his name a byword
OF Jest for year past, is cruelty in the
last degree. And we are surprised that
so many amiable, and usually consideratt

Ex-President Buchanan, irreverently
styled o. P, f., has just purchased two
farms in Chester county, Pa, CHICAGO
Post.
We suppose that the funds with which
the two farms were purchased are either
the reward of treason, paid by the South
ern conspirators, or public funds which
he embezzled. The cabolistic letters O.
p. f, probably stand Cor Original Part
Rer of Floyd" BUcHANAN's friend JEFF.
DAVIS, also purchased large plantation
in Mississippi, recently. Thus while the
land is oonvulsed with civil war, the two
originatOrs of the war; who were both
conservative Democrats" by the way,
are investing their ill-gotten fortunes.

The Northern traitors are more brutal
than the Southern traitors; for the lat

of a war between the two sections of the
country, they could have ga United

lows did not expect to have a United
North, if they can excite an insurrection
there against the Administration. They
well knew that through the populous and
prosperous farming regions and cities of
the North, civil war would rage in its
direst horrors. Yet these devils incar-
nate, we are told, are the conservatives of

Important Orders.

Some weeks ago the substance of an
order recently entered on the records of
the u. S. Circuit Court was handed to us
for publication. We leUrn that an omis-
sion of material Importance was made in
tina abstract furnished us, and therefore
republish the order in full:
It is ordered that no attorney, prose
cutor, or other person, who has not taken
an oath TO support the Cons titution of the
United States since The restoration Of he
authority Of tie Federal Government tgjthin
his District, shall be admitted to manage
or conduct cases in this Court until he
shall have taken such oath.

ton reported but as to all others I most
heartily concur. NJ. NJ. BENTON.
The journal adds:
The convention then adjourned sine die,
and the universal opinion is that no
meeting OF the citizens of Kentucky has
ever been distinguished by 80 much pro.
dence, unity Of feeling, aud calmness in
the midst Of excitement. Every extra.
neous subject was entirely ignored the
resolutions speak the feelings and wishes
Of kentucky, and tho nominees cannot
fail to be acceptable TO the people at large,
though disappointment may exist with
thoge whose particular favorites we're
defeated. We anticipate the election Of
the entire ticket by larger vote and a
larger majority that has ever before been
achieved in our State.

Col. Whitaker proposed, as be had
been oredibly informed tdat many "but-
ternuts" were in the hall who had no
business there and had evidently been
very busy In inducing the disturbance
and interruption which had occurred,
that Sergeant at. Arms should be ap.
pointed TO eject them. Another propo.
silion was made that sn ADJOURNMENT
should take place, and at the Teassetu-
blage no one be admitted except dele
gates. This was voted down. Col.
Whitaker spoke again. but we could not
catch the thread Of his remarks, as our
desk was too far distant from the speak
er, and there was so much conversation
in the hall. When the quiet was n some
measure restored, Col. Hodges nominated
DR.. Smedley, of Mercer, as Sergeant-at-
Arms, and tho nomination was confirmed.
A long discussion then ensued upon
propositions to adjonrn either until nine
o'clock the next day or till the evening.
II was also proposed to enter upon nomi-
nations for Governor. 1t seemed i'm
possible TO understand the actual ques-
ton before the chair at any time, but
finally, by way Of extrication from the
confusion, the President furnished clue
by declaring that an adjournment until
the next morning had been carried.
Several Of the counties which did not
answer the morning call for delegates,
were represented 10 the afternoon, five or
six in number, but we are unable TO name
them.

Kentucky Union State Convention,
The delegates from the various coun-
ties Of the State, who we're selected TO
represent them in the Union Democratic
Convention, assembled at 10 O'Clock yes
terday morning, in the Circuit Court
room. The large hall was crowded, and,
before the meeting was called TO order,
here was an interchange Of eohgratula-
tions between I'D and long sundered
friends and the best Of feeling seemed
to prevail. At the hour appointed, the
Hon. Robert Mallory, by request, called
the CONVENTION 20 order, and pro posed, as
the temporary chairman, Gen. Leslie
Combs, Of Fayette, which was unani-
mously adopted. On taking his position,
the General made a short but vigorous
speech 10 characteristic style, which was
warmly applauded. He regarded this
convention as the most important ever
called together, as it held he destinies of
the country in its hands; Kentucky was
in truth the keystone now of the Federal
| arch. We are assembled to work (; the
| time for resolving aud resolutions was
| past, and we must now crush this rebel
| lion by the bayOnet, and he believed it
would be crushed as truly as there is a
Just God overlooking the universe. We
must devote ourselves TO the task with
the same determination that the Romans
declared "deenda est Carthage" and
we must never cease our exertiOns until
the Union is restored; the Constitution
upheld in its integrity, aud the rebellion
arrested. For rebels in arms we must
use the bayoneb and for rebels not in
arms we can defeat them at the ballot
box.
Dr.. Smedey, of Mercer, made a speech
counciling moderation aud course oil
action which would tend to give energy
to the war and carry dismay 10 the enc.
mics of the country. The venerable
speaker was forcibe in his appeals anc
was loudly appauded.
Ninety four counties Of the State wer,
represented, those not responding to tn,
call, sixteen in number were Breathitt
Esiill, Floyd, Fulton, Harlan Hickman
Jackson, Livingston, Morgan, Perry
