The Crazy Convention at Philadelphia. ' del pit in. In any other age than this, stupified as it it by all sorts of fanaticisms, the crowd ot Know Nothings assembled at Philadelphia would be taken as a set of mad men, just let loose Irom an insane Asylum. They avow senti ments that are abhorent to human rea son, and disgraceful to the country that gave them birth. They claim to be the nobility of the land the better blood ol the country I the annointed of the Republic, and born to rule the rest of mankind. A set of political outcasts Irom all the other parties of the country unde serving any longer of the confidence of their fellow men they associate to gether and proclaim that they are the chosen spirits of the age to lead roan kind to a new political standard and a sublime excellence. They cast aside the labors of a Washington and Jefferson, and make, Mormon-like a new political Bible, and send Preachers to propogate the new faith. Such are the impudent, self-conceit ed, brainless and characterless bigots that are committing sacrilege in the old Hall of Independence in Philadel phia. Political bastards Temper ance drunkards Religious infidels and blood thirsty moralists, they set at ut ter defiance every principle of common sense, common honesty and the broth erhood ol mankind. A correspondent ol the New York Tribune thus describes how he gets their secrets: Some curiosity and uneasiness are exhibited aMie full and faithful res ports ot the Couicil which appear in the New York papers and more espec ially in the Tribune. There was a complaint made about it in the meeting this morning. The Times newspaper of this city very solemnly warns the public not to believe anything publish, ed in the Tribune about the council Yet everybody will read and believe for their friends inside invariably re fer them to that paper for the particu lars of their action. If the connci desire to put a stop to the truth leaking out let me give them a hint: Let them adopt a strict Maine law unto them selves. "When the wine is in the wit is out," is a truism as old as (he Union and as everlasting; and if the mombers do not wish to have their se crets printed in the Tribune they sho'd i . . ; Dew a re 01 accepting 100 many invita tions to drink from good natured, jolly good fellows loafing about the liote This is disinterested advice, for if fol lowed, "my occupation is gone," and Statesman. man. The State Convention Nomination of Hon. Allen Trimble. Me. The Convention held here was call ed scarcely ten days before its assem tJsgp, yd, during the afternoon, the City Hall was entirely filled. It was not as large as either the convention held by the Democracy of Ohio on the 8th of January last, nor as that ol the 13th of July. But it was larger than other State conventions held here tofore, by parties organizing for a State campaign Ut its spirit and tnthusi asm, it is not fair to either our friends nor to our opponents, to speak slight ngiy. it was an enuiusiasuc Von. vention. The members were not only .manifestly in earnest, but many of the members and speakers appeared very sanguine that this would not only be the starting point of a distinct party for national purposes, but that they would be able to make a very formid able, if not successful effort to obtain .ascendency in Ohio next fall. Let not the Democracy ot this State flatter themselves that they are to ob tain an easy victory. Our enemies have modified their positions, it is true We may be compelled to encounter, in the new organization of yesterday, the real foe with whom we shall have to .dispute the field. But it carries with it the secret councils and futive machi nations of Know Nothingism. This should redouble our zeal and vigilance Let every Democrat stand to his arms Ana be hourly prepared. Plain Talk. The Piqua Register, fusion, took the Daiton Journal, old line whig, to (ask for not supporting Chase. The Dayton Journal retorts in very plain .language, it says: "We have never 'apologized for rsiavery,' nor nave we ever tailed Ho condemn the Aggressive conduct of the auvocaies oi jue institution.' ve no irnore Apologize for slavery' thau we 'apologize' for abolitionism. We are just as much disposed to 'condemn' fa naticism at the South as fanaticism of the North. But we do not believe for all this that all the patriotism and phi- laninropy wnich the Union contains, is held North ot 'Mason & Dixon's line;' that all the North is 'Simon Pur. and all at the South is wicked and cor rupt. We have no more confidence in the political honesty of Joshua R. fiid dingB and Salmon j?. Chase, than ne Have in the decency oi Stringfellow not a whit." Again: "What folly then is it for the sake of conciliating such men as Joshua R. Giddings and his adherents to keep the great, the only question, 'Stale Re form,' in the back ground, so as to al JowGiddings $ C'hase to reproduce itheir old speeches against slavery, and to aid in bringing Ohio into the posi. lion of a rank, seditious Abolition State? The Register can trudge at the heels of Giddingi and his piratical crew, and fight under his black flag of treason and disunion, but we will have nonacf him of his," Hon. J. Scott Harrison Declines. By the following letter it will be per ceived that John Scott Htrrison decline the nomination for Governor tendered him by the Whig tod Know Nothings of Cincinnati. He however embraces the opportunity to express hii hostility to the sectionalism of Fuson in is strong terms n the pruprieliei of the occasion will allow t BROADWAY August 6th, 1855. Hon. James Vail, Dear sir: At a meeting of the citi zens of Cincinnati, held on the evening ot me gnu inst., at winch you had the honor to preside, I perceive my name was favorably presented to the consid eration of the people of Ohio a a can didateforthe chief maeistrecv of th State. I have also observed movements of a similar character in other counties, and desire through this communication to respond to each ot these meetings. I trust, Sir, I duly appreciate the hon or proposed, and will ever cherish with grateful recollections the kind partiali ty which has so manifestly governed the action of my friends. But, Sir, I must be allowed to decline the honor which is tendered me. I cannot con sisienuy with trusts already assumed, suiter my name to be used in anr con nection that will at all infringe uponj uuur.s i one me people of the Sec ond Congressional District of Ohio. I shall therefore remain at the post which has been assigned me in the national legislature always defending, with un abated leal, the rights of mv constitu ents, whenever assai ltd by Executive or ucgib.aine aggression. At the tame lime not forgetting the duty I owe our common country as a National repre sentative, In doing what I may to arrest every attempt to .hatter the ties that bind our gloxious confederacy. Auow mz again, sir, to express to you, ana mrougn you to mv fellow cit izens composing the meeting of the 3d instant, my sincere thanks for the hon or they have done me, and to indulge the hope that whoever may be called to preside over the .councils of our State, he may be a man free from sectional prejudices national, union-loving man a man who in times of excitement like these can forget that there is a ftortri or a fcoutb, and remember only now glorious and patriotically the blood of each mingled in harmonious union in cementing the rampart of A merican freedom. With true respect. Your friend and obedient servant, August 6th, 1855. J. S. HARRISON. The Elections. In lennessee it u finally conceded, says the Cincinnati hnquirtr, despite the efforts of the telegraph, which elec ted Gentry several times, that Johnson, Democrat, is chosen Governor. Here is the latest dispatch to the Louisville Journal, dated Nashville, August 8. it 6ays t "The dog's dead at last, but died hard. All the counties in but two, Johnson is elected by from one thousand to fif teen hundred majority." The dog alluded to is "Sam." who is completely throttled. The Congression al delegation will be divided five De mocratic and five Know-Nothings. The Legislature is in doubt In Norlh Carolina it is finally settled that the Democrats have six or eight members of Congress, and a large ma jority of the popular vote. In Kentucky, the Louisville Courier reports Jewett, Democrat, elected to Congress from the Fifth DUtrici, by a majority of 696. The Courier think that Elliott, Democrat, is elected in the Sixth District, and there is a chance for Talbot, Democrat, in the Fourth Dis Wicl. Humphrey Marshall, Know Nothing, elected, by frCud and violence in the Seventh District, and A. R. Mar shall in the Eighth District. Mr. liar ris, we regret to say, is defeated in the Tenth District, by a small majority. In relation to llio State ticket the Cour ier says i "In the forty counties reported above Morehead has a majority 0f 5,678. As yet but very imperfect returns have beeu received from tha mountains, and noth ing from the First District. Mr Clarke who is at present in the city, depends upon these sections for hii strengtb.and, if they meet his expectations, the sue- cess of the Democratic State ticket may not be cousidered altogether an imoos sibility."
