The resolution was probably drawn by the Chairman of th Committee, Mr. J "W. Heisley, as we judge from its spirit sod character. But whoever its author may be, it certainly reflects very little upon his ingenuity, and its parsage is far less com mendable to the sense of the Convention. The trickery ef the thing is too palpable to be mistaken, and to suppose that the working classes are to be blinded by any such hypocritical jugglery would be an in sult to their intelligence and discernment It is limply one of those flimsy, aad yet plausible tricks by which tLe Democracy aeek to attract to their cause the thought less and unwary. Such, however, are not the working men of Cuyahoga county( and the nke-laid nlan will conatauentlv fail. '. The city of Pittsburgh shows a popula tion of inly 60,000, an increase of 1,000 since 1860 and of only 8,000 since 1860 But this exnibit is not fair. Including Allegheny, there are thirteen boroughs or eleclMea districts, all connected with th oity proper by bridges, ferries and street railroads, and all within a radius of three or f. ur miles. They are in reality compo nent parte of the seme great oity, and their total population foots op 160,000, an in crease of 30,000. The city papers are now agitating for municipal consolidation, that Pittsburgh may take iu proper rank among the great cities. , "We learn from Caraccas that Hon. X. D.

She is fair and forty, and hts been the belle of Saratoga for many years, fifteen or more. Her hand has been repeatedly sought, but she has invariably declined until the hero of Chancellorsvilie asked and received. Having reached the period at which th old couplet says we ar wise, she has con cluded not to die in the single state. It is said that a prominent Major General now in the Southwest is mucn cnagnnea at us present match. He had about made up his mind to "propose" to Miss O., when Fight ing Joseph interferred and won the prize.
