HARRISON. March Z. 1868.


Dear American,-I will try and give
the news current in Harrison at this time
The weather is very disagreeable today
slight rain is falling, and heavy wind
blowing, which shows very plainly that
boisterous March is at hand. The Cioni.
an Literary Society gave their entertain
ment on the 9th and 2Sth Of February,
which proved to be success. The plays
we're well acted, especially the "Kiss in
the Dark" it boing the iavorite for the
evening. 1t is not to be wondered when
you consider the title, for that alone shows
it to be a little luxury. The entertain
mcnt was well attended, large number
Of the audience being Of the protesting
part of community, thus showing by their
actions that they were favorable TO the
literary cause. There we're no objections
offered to any of the performances, ex-
ccpting "The Prosecuted Dutchman. :"
This bordered too close on profanity. The
Harrison Silver Band displayed its must
cal talent; also the Harrison String Band
showed that it knew how to rosin the bow
We now have proof that there is some tai
ent remaining in Harrison. The ladies
in particular deserve credit for their Gu
ergy in this cause. ts'f
The word "dormant' that friend "Per-
ny" borrowed from Friendly" must have
made him sick, for he has been dormant
ever since. Perhaps he is thinking more
Of Horticulture than of pen and ink. If
this is the case, We will miss his writings,
but will be we'll paid when he makes his
appearance in our market distributing his
fine tomatoes and early potatoes, which are
(to my notion) the best. brought to mar
ket. lie proposed to give an account Of

Common Pleas Judqeship.

We desire to call the attention Of our
readers to the fact that Judge Of the
Court Of Common Pleas for the Counties
Of Wayne, Fayette, Union and Franklin,
is to be chosen at the ensuing October
election. We are not advised as to wheth-
err Judge Kibby desires denomination,
his name not having been formally an-
nounced as a candidate yet. So far as we
have heard an expression from the differ
ent Counties of the District, there seems
to be quite general desire that our
townsman, Z. e. Binkley Esq, should be
a candidate. Mr.. Binkley's well known
abilities as a lawyer, his courteous and
gentlemanly manners and upright deport-
ment fit him peculiarly for the judicial
bench. Ii nominated. no man in the
District would command larger vote.
The foregoing is written without any
consultation with Mr.. b. or knowledge as
to whether he desires the nomination.

Rules ofths New York cenvsntion.
New York dispatches state that q

Hule6 oIlhc NtW Aotk toAS eAetoAs
New York dispatches state that an
effort will be made to have the New York
Convention adopt, in addition to the
majority rule, the following;
First-All candidates TO be voted for
10 be announced before the ballotings
commence, aud no other nominations
afterward to be permitted.
Second-The lowest candidate TO be
dropped on each ballot until nomina-
ton is effected.
These rules are so manifestly Just and
proper that It hardly requires any argu-
ment in their behalf They are rules
that have long governed the actions OF
the State conventions Of both parties in
the West There isno reason why they
should not be extended TO the National
Convention. The delegates have right,
before baloting commences, to see the
names of all the candidates who will be
before them, as by that they will be en-
abled TO make wise and dispassionate
choice. To allow new candidates
to be sprung upon the Con-
vention : the product of secret in'
trigue, after ballotings have long been
held-is manifest injustice to those who
were nominated in the beginning, and
who had taken their chances Of defeat or
success. II is an encouragement also to
fraudulent deception and corruption, o nd
its only effect will be to thwart and de-
feat the popular will. The people want
no eleventh-hour candidates to come in
