Eloquent speeches were then made by Messrs. Andrews, of Massachusetts, Carl Shurz, of Wisconsin, Blair, of Missouri, Browning, of Illinois, endorsing the nom ination of Mr. Lincoln. The nomination of Mr. Lincoln was then made unanimous, amid loud cheers. The Convention adjourned until 5 o'clock P. M. EVENING SESSION. The Convention reassembled at 5 o'clock P. M. A large banner was brought on the plat form by the Pennsylvania delegates, bear ing the inscription : u Pennxi/lreni* pmxt for 20,00*3 majority for Ihe People's 'Oi.idulatc—Abt Lincoln.' 1 The appearance of the banner was greet ed with loud applause.

The result of the second ballot was an nounced as follows: Hamlin 364 Clay 86 Hickman 13 The result was received with tumultuous applause, and the nomination was subse quietly made unanimous amid great enthus- i lasm. Alter the delivery of congratulary speech es by a number of delegates, Joshua R. (biddings moved the adoption of the follow ing resolutions: Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with those men who have been driven, some from their native States, and others from the States of their adoption, and who are now exiled from their homes on account of their opin ions, and that we hold the Democratic party responsible for the gross violation of that clause of the Constitution which declares that the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of the cit izens of the several States. The resolution was adopted. Judge Jessup from the committee on Resolutions, reported the following : Resolved, lhat we, the delegated represen tatives of the republican electors of the Uni ted States, in Convention assembled, in the discharge of the duty wo owe to our constit uents and our country, unite in the follow ing declarations: . First i hat the history of the nation du •ing the last four years has established the propriety and necessity of the organization and perpetuation of the Republican party, and that the causes which called it into exis tence are permanent in their nature, and now, more than ever before, demand its peaceful and constitutional triumph. Second—That the maintenance of the Fed eral Constitution is essential to the preserva tion of our republican institutions, and shall be preserved. Third—That to the union of the States this nation owes its unprecedented increase in pop ulation, its surprising development of mate rial resources, its rapid augmentation of wealth, its happiness at home and its honor abroad; and we hold in abhorrence all schemes for disunion, come from whatever source they may. And we congratulate the country that no Republican member of Con gress has uttered or countenanced a threat of disunion so often made by the Democratic members of Congress without rebuke, and with applause from their political associates And we denounce those threats of disunion in case of a popular overthrow of their ascen dency, as denying the vital principles of free government, and as an avowal of contempla ted treason, which it is the imperative duty of an indignant people 'strongly to rebuke and lorever silence. Fourth That the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the States, and especially the rights of each State to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that bal ance of power on which the perfection and endurance of her political faith depends. And we denounce the lawless invasion of an armed force, of any state or territory, no mat ter under what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes. Fifth—That the present Democratic Ad ministration has far exceeded our worst ap prehensions, in its measureless subserviency to the exactions of a sectional interest, as is especially evident in its desperate esertioi s to force the infamous Lecompton Constitution upon the protesting people of Kansas—in construing the personal relation between mas ter and servant to involve an unqualified prop erty in person—in its attempts at the enforce ment, everywhere, on land and sea, through the intervention of Congress and the Federal Courts, of the extreme pretensions of a pure ly local interest, and in its general and unva rying abuse of the power entrusted to it by a confiding people. Sixth—That the people justly view with alarm the reckless extravagance which per vades every department of the Federal Gov ernment. I hat a return to rigid economy and accountability is indispensable to arrest e system of plunder of the public Treasury y .a\ored partisans, while the present start hng developments of fraud and corruption at the Federal Metropolis show that an entire manned admmißtr4tion imperatively de- Seventh 1 hat the new dogma that the Constitution, of its own force, carries slavery into any or all the Territories of the United Estates, is a dangerous political heresy, at va riance with the explicit provisions of that in strument itself, with its contemporaneous ex position, and with legislative and judicial pre cedent, is revolutionary in its tendencies and subvcisive of the peace and harmony of the CJuntry. —-gb.h That tho normal condition of all the territory of the United States is that of freedom. That as our republican fathers, when they had abolished slavery in all our national territory, r rdained that no person should be deprived of life, liberty or proper ty without due process of law, it becomes our duty, by legislation, whenever such legislation ie necessary, to maintain this provision ut the Constitution against all attempts to violate it. And we deny the anthority of Congress, of a Territorial Legislature, or of any individuals, to give legal existence to slavery in any terri tory of the United States. Ninth—That we brand the recent reopen ing cf the African Slave trade under the cov er'of our national flag, aided by perversions of judicial power, as a crime against human ity. a burning shame to our country and age; and vre call upon Congress to take prompt and efficient measures for the total and final suppression of that execrable traffic. Tenth—That in the recent vetoes, by their Governors, of the acts of the Legislatures of Kansas and Nebraska, prohibiting slavery in those Territories, we find a practical illustra tion of the boasted democratic principle of run intervention and popular sovereignty in the Kansas and Nebraska bill, and a denun ciation of the deception and fraud invo ved therein. Kleventh —That Kansas should, of right, be immediately admitted as a State under the Constitution recently formed and adopted by her people, and accepted by the lfouse of Representatives. Twelfth—That while providing revenue for the support of the General Government by duties upon imports, a sound policy requires such an adjustment of these imports as to en courage the development of the industrial in terest of the whole country, and we commend that policy of national exchanges which se cures to the workingmen liberal wages, to ag riculturists remunerating prices, to mechanics and manufacturers an adequate reward for their skill, labor and enterprise, and to the nation commercial prosperity ami indepen dence. Thirteenth —That we protest against any sale or alienation to others, of the pub.ic lands held by actual settlers and against any view of the free homestead policy, which regards the settlers as paupers or supplicants for pub lic bounty. And we demand the passage by Congress of the complete and satisfactory homestead measure, which has already pn.-s d the House. That the National Republican party is opposed to any change in our natu ralization laws, or any State legislation by which the rights of citizenship hitherto ac corded to emigrants from foreign lauds shall be abridged or impaired, and in favor of giv ing a foil and efficient protection to 'he rights of all classes of citizens, whether native or naturalized, at home or abroad. That appro priations by Congress for river and harbor itnpro eruents of a nat onal character, requir ed for the accommodation and security of an exi ting commerce, are authorized by the Con stitution and justified by an obligation of the government to protect the lives and property of its citizens Sixteenth—That a railroad to the Pacific Ocean is imperatively demanded by the inter ests of the whole country ; that the federal Government ought to render immediate and efficient aid in its construction, and that as a preliminary thereto a daily overland mail should be promptly established. Seventeenth—Finally, having thus set forth our distinctive principles and views, we in vite the co-operation of all citizens, however differing on other questions, who substantial ly agree with us in their affirmance and support.

N\ e give as full an account of the pro ceedings of the Chicago Convention as out space will permit in to-day's Gazette. ABRAM LINCOLN, the nominee for Presi dent, is probably second to no man in the west in point of talent, a position he at tained by bis own exertions —having risen lrom the humble position of a hired man on a farm and a splitter of rails until he '' mauled Stephen A. Douglas through one of the most exciting campaigns ever known in Illinois. The nominee for Vice President, Mr. HAMLIN, of Maine, is now a United States Senator from that State, and like Mr. Lincoln, respected by all par ties as a man of undoubted integrity aud honesty. There are some portious of the platform which do not exactly meet our views, espe cially that relating to the naturalization laws. "\\ e are so far " American" in sen timent, that while not proscriptive, we have always believed oar laws cwgh. to be so amended as to be no bar towards honest foreigners becoming citizens, yet stringent enough to prevent the frauds and rascality without question too much practiced in our cities. large force is employed on the turnpike between this place and Reedsville constructing new bridges aud repairing the road.

In this respect Union is undoubtedly the bau uer township. THE WEATHER AND CROPS. —The ex traordinary rains which hive been falling during this month continue to be a subject of general remark. At the close of last week several thunder storms, accompanied with hail, followed each other rapidly, and on Monday afternoon and night the light ning flashed almost continually, torrents of rain falling in the meantime. Corn fields have been badly washed in many places, and a large quantity of prepared ground still remains implanted. Wheat, rye, oats, and grass never looked better at this sea son, and unless some untoward event takes place, good crops are anticipated. BALLOON ASCENSION. — The ascension | of Mr. Light, which had been deferred on j the previous week on account of the weather, was to have taken place last Thursday, when a large number of per sons from the country came to town, but the heavy atmosphere and an insufficient quantity of gas prevented him from going up, much to the disappointment of the crowd, few of whom however blamed the young aeronaut. On Friday morning our citizens felt bent on seeing the thing out, and the Water Company having given permission to attach hose to a fire plug for the purpose of filling the gas company's tank with water, another attempt was de fermined on. The Juniata suction engine was also brought out, and the boys worked with a will by drawing water from the ca j rial and forcing it into the tank. These ! measures soon enabled the gas company to I supply what was wanted, and shortly after ! 12 o'clock, just as many dinners were ready, men, women, and children were startled by the court house beli announcing that all was ready. The scene presented on the streets for some time after this was truly ludicrous —all hastening towards the jail yard or its neighborhood as fast as legs could carry them. In a few minutes, Mr. Light took his seat with only two bags of ballast, but this had to be thrown out, on account of the damp air, when the bal loon slowly rose straight up to the height of about a thousand or fifteen hundred feet, when a current of air carried it due north across Aid's hill. Having reached the open ground beyond, Mr. Light saw at a glance that there might be some difficulty in crossing Jack's mountain without bal last, and accordingly made preparations to ( descend. The crowd soon perceived this, and such a scampering over the ridge by men, boys and girls, through clover and ploughed fields, was probably never seen j before 1 Others rushed out Third and j Valley streets to a field, near Mr. Kline's dwelling on the outskirts of the borough, j where the balloon had descended, and in : 7 { a few minutes the teronaut was surrounded i by hundreds, who at once took hold of the anchor rope and with Mr. L. seated in his car, hauled him through Valley and Market | streets down to the square, a distance of about half a mile, with his balloon still in- ' dated. It was an imposing scene, and j successfully executed amidst the huzzas | and shouts of thousands. Of the dozen or more ascensions we have seen, this with its elosing scene was one of the best —the only regret connected with it being that the numerous strangers in town on the day previous did not wit- : ness it. TAKING TIIE CENSUS. —The following questions were we believe specially prepar ed at Washington for Messrs. Zeigler and Coplin, the deputy marshals of this coun ty: What is your age ? Where were you horn ? Are you married, if so, how do you like it. How many children have you, and do they sufficiently resemble you as to preclude the possibility of their belonging to any of your neighbors ? Did you ever have the measles, and if so how many ? Have you a twin brother several years old er than yourself? Have you any parents, and if so, how many ? Do jou read the Xew Testament regularly? What is your fighting weight? Do you use your own tobacco ? I How many cigars do you smoke in a day ■ Were you and your wife worth anything when married, and if not, what proportion of her things were your'u and your things j were her'n ? Were you ever in the Penitentiary ? Are you troubled with biles? How many empty bottles have you in the house ? How does your cider taste ? What do you think of the Milroy railroad ? Are beans an article of regular diet in your ; family, and if so, how do they go ? State whether you are blind, deaf, or id iotic, or have the heaves or bots ? How many chickens have you, and are they on foot or in the shell? Also how many ducks and geese ? ' Is there a black mark on your left arm ? Which food do you prefer, whiskey, rum i or mixed drinks ? State how much Dutch cheese you make, ! and what is the size of your wife's hooped skirt. Are you a democrat of the administration : stamp, or a follower of Douglas? Who do you think ought to be nominated for associate judge when the election again j comes off? Persons liable to be " censussed," will do J well to cut the above out and put it up in a : : conspicuous place. IMPORTANT LEGISLATION. —AIdermen and Justices of the Peace, says the Ilar risburg Telegraph, who have not posted themselves in the Revised Penal Code of the laws of Pennsylvania, adopted at the late session, have a fact to learn. By that code their powers have been materially circumscribed. In future, a list of crimi nal offences, hitherto bailable by them, can only be bailable by the courts. The list of offences whose adjudication is re moved from the power of the Aldermen, comprises arson, rape, mayhem, robbery or burglary, and in all such cases bail can only be received by the Supreme Court, the Court of Common Pleas, or one of its Judges, and the Mayor or Recorder of a c-ity. As this is the letter of the code, Section 7, page 53, of the Penal Laws of Pennsylvania, parties interested should remember the fact. The new Penal Code has many other good provisions; and if the one relating to loaning public money by officers is enforced, it will prevent many defalcations in city, borough and township offices. Section sixty two provides that, "if any officer of this Commonwealth, or of any city, bor ough, county or township thereof, shall loan out, with or without interest, or re turn therefor, any money or valuable secu- rity received by him or which may be in his possession or under his control by vir tue of his office, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor in ffice, and on conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine not exceedim: one thousand dollars, and undergo an im prisonment by separate or solitary confine ment at labor not exceeding five years, and if still in office, be adjudged thereafter incapable of exercising the same, and the said office shall be forthwith declared va cant by the Court passing the sentence." UNCALLED FOR LETTERS.— An act ol no litte importance to business men recent ly passed Congress, authorizing the return of uncalled-for letters to the office from which they were first sent, if the name of the writer is endorsed on the letter. We publish the act for the information of our readers : " That when any person shall endorse on any letter his or her name and place of resi dence, aS writer thereof, the same, after re maining uncalled for at the office to which it was directed, for thirty days, or the time the writer may direct , shall be returned by mail to said writer, and no such letters shall be ad vertised, nor shall the same be treated as dead letters, until so returned to the post of fice of the writer, and there remain uncalled for for one quarter. Approved April Cth 1860." Loion and Snyder Counties. The Middleburg Tribune says ; On Friday last a man by the name of Downing, who peddles copper kettles came very near drown ing his horse while in the attempt to get to the bridge over Middlecreek, which he wished to cross. It created quite an excitement in town for a few hours. He succeeded to cut the harness from him after some difficulty and the horse swam out. The wagon was flooded up against the fence on the lower side of the road—from where the horse was finally extri cated. Mr. Downing refused to leave the wagon and the goods which it contained. Through the exertion of Jos. Bowersox, An thony Specht, Daniel Moyer, Mr. Sweeper and a few others, it was finally pulled ouf by ropes and saved. It was lucky that Mr. Downing obstinately refused to come out with out having his wagon also brought on terra Jirma, as the creek raised considerable af terwards, and doubtless would have taken wagon and contents off, had thev left it there a few hours longer. On Friday morning a man by the name of Crous was drowned in Middlecreek, near his residence in Washington township. He went into the creek, which was very high at that time, in a canoe to get one of his sheep which was in the creek, and in trying to lift the sheep into the boat, capsized, and he sank to the bottom to rise no more. We are told that eighteen sheep belonging to John L. Rennmger, about a mile below town, were drowned in Middlecreek during the late freshet. 6 Huntingdon County, Geo. W.
