FAMILY QUARREL. The members of the Charleston Convention who stood their ground, having adjourned to meet again at Baltimore on the 18th of June, and t,he seceding members* having resolved to address the people in behalf of their course, the interest of the feud between the two fac tions of the democratic party is kept alive.— It was undoubtedly expected by the majority, of the Convention that some means would be found to compose the quarrel and to unite the entire party upon one candidate, or no post ponement would have been had. Two-thirds of the delegates who remained at their post were friends of Douglas, at least in name, and if it was intended to nominate him independ ently of the rest of the party, they had the opportunity in their hands ; they might have giveu him the vote of the Convention, and then, considering their work as euded, might have adjourned without day. It seems clear to us, therefore, that the ma jority of that Convention, after they had be come fully acquainfed with the temper of the delegates from the slave states, had no idea of nominating Douglas. Immediately after the secession they adopted a resolution which made his nomination impossible ; they agreed that it should require two hundred and two votes in the Convention, or two-thirds of the wholo uutuber of delegates, including those who had withdrawn from them and sat with them no longer, as necessary to a nomination. More than fifty trials afterwards showed that Doug las could obtain but three-quarters of this number. His warmest friends must have been satisfied, before the final pooceedings of the Convention, that there was not the slightest hope of his success. It is known that, among those who gave him their votes, there were several who originally thought it the wiser course to agree upon some candidate less ob noxious to the South, and it is affirmed that these, with many others, were ready to aban don Douglas and agree upon Guthrie, or some other prominent man of the slave states, as soon as they should have given what might bo regarded as ample proof of having done their best for Douglas, and made his friends fully sensible that his nomination was imprac ticable. It is very likely that one reason of the adjournment, therefore, was a desire on the part of his friends to shield him from the mortification of an absolute reject on by the Convention. The adjournment breaks his fall, and lets him to the ground a little more lightly. The resolution by which the regular Con vention was adjourned gives as a reason— " that the states not represented may have an opportunity to fill up their delegations."— But it is impo-->ible that any new elections of delegates should be had in the slave states.— The constituents of the seceding delegates will stand by them, of course ; it would raise a mob iu most places of the South to call a meeting for the sake of appointing other del egates friendly to Douglas. We perceive that it is understood in some quatters that the seceding delegates adjourned to meet at Richmond on the second Monday in June. This is not so—they adopted a reso lution in favor of a Southern Convention, to be held at that place and time—but for them selves they adjourned sine die. Whether the I resolution will be carried out or not—and if so, what will then be done, we will not veil- ' ture to conjecture—but the policy of that portion of the Convention who will reassemble iu Baltimore is obvious. Inasmuch as they waived the opportunity of nominating Doug las when it was in their power, it is not at all ' likely that they will nominate him at Balti more. Nor can they, without bringing themselves into contempt, make any change in the plat form which I hey have deliberately adopted.— All that remains for theoi is to agree upon some candidate who has uot given offeucc to the South—some person identified with soutli ern interests—and to trust to party associa tions, party sympathies and party policy to bring the South to his support.— Evening Post. IMPORTANT DECISION. —In the Supreme Court of the United Stales yesterday, the celebrated £a itillau Land case, which was recently so el al o.ately argued, was decided in favor of the United States, thus fina'ly settling the title to a large and valuable track of land immediate ly adjoining the city of San Francisco, and which has heretofore been claimed under a Mexican grant by the San Francisco Land Company. Much of the stock of this Com pany, perhaps a larger part of it, is owned in this city, and the tract of land in dispute was estimated at not less than fifteen millions of dollars. It lies immediately back of the city of San Francisco, aud very much in the posi tion of that portion of Philadelphia ahov.e Columbia avenue, so that the natural growth of the city must, in a few years, cover it with a dense population. The decision, though not wholly unexpected, caused much excitement iu money circles yesterday. The par value of the shares of the Company is S3OO, but they have sold as high as four or five thousand dollars ; they had latterly, however, receded to about SSOO, but duriug the progress of the argu ment a few weeks ago, again advanced to about SOOO, at which considerable sales were made ; since then, rumors of an adverse decis ion have caused a rapid decline, and yesterday, before the decision was known, sales were made at $75 per share. Tho Company own some other property, the title to which is undisputed and the shares, therefore, are not altogether worthless. A favorable decision would have rnn up the price to SIO,OOO per share. Our citizeus are losers by the speculation to the amount of a million dollars at least.—Phila delphia Pennsylcanian. WHY THIS AGITATION. —There is nothing so unwise, so unnecessary, so fraught with danger to the Union—according to our Democratic friends—as the agitation of the Slavery qucs tian. Yet here they have been in session near ly a week at Charleston, says the Albany Evening Journal, and they have done nothing day in and day out, but agitato the Slavery question ! Why will they persist in keeping up agita tion on this exciting topic ? Why cannot they let the country, which was at peace, remain at peace ? Why do they thus recklessly imperil our glorious UNION? Do they not know that the Slavery Ques tion has been settled 1 Do they not know that it has been FINALLY settled? They have urged this very point for years, ev<rry one of them, from President dowu to tide-waiter. Yet now they will not let it stay settled, bnt dig it up and devote their whole time to it ! We should like to be informed an two points: Ist, Whether the " Black Republicans " are responsible for this agitation ? 2dly, Why Dem ocracy docs not practice what it preaches ? E. O.

After the adoption of a platform, which it is now said is simply a re affirmation of the Cincinnati platform, the Southern delegates mostly withdrew, leaying, as was supposed, the control of the Conven tion in the hands of the DOUGI VS men. The first ballot,*(Which was had on Tuesday re sulted as follows : Douglas 1451 Davis, 1 Guthrie, : Tourey 21 Dickinson, 7" Pierce, 1 I.ane, (J Johnson, 12 Hunter, 42 After the eighth ballot, DOUGLAS having riseu to 150 12 votes, a resolution was adopt ed, requiring that the President of the Con vention shall not declare any person nom inated for President or Vice-President unless he should receive 202 or more votes, being two-thirds of a full Convention. The adop tion of this resolution was opposed by the DOUGLAS men, but it was carried by ayes 114, noes 10S ; New York which had voted for DOUGLAS voted for the resolution. Fifty-seven ballots were taken for Presi dent, the last with the following result : Douglas, 1511 : Guthrie, 651 ; Hunter, 16 ; Lane, 16 ; Dickinson, 2 : Davis, 1 : On Wednesday morning the Convention met, and a resolution to adjourn to meet at Raltimorc on the ISth day of June, was car riec by a large majority. It is claimed by the friends of DOUGLAS that the adjournment of the Convention was a vic tory gained for him, on the ground that the action of the seceding delegates will not be sustained at the South, and that the delega tions will be filled up with the friends of DOUGLAS. The Seceders Convention, after adopting a platform, and voting to prepare an address, adjourned sine die. SOT The game of brag which has been so vigorously played by the DC COLAS men for the last few weeks, will be re-commenced, and more loudly practised until the meeting of the Baltimore Convention. It will be proclaimed that Southern sentiment sustains the few dele gates from that section who remained in the Charleston Convention, and that his nomina tion at Baltimore is certain. What is to im prove his chances we cannot discover ; and the probability is that he will be thrown over board, and a candidate selected who will as far as possible heal the breach in the party. , i fits?* The Republican National Convention meets at Chicago on Wednesday next.— Judge WILMOT, delegate at large, and 11. W. TRACY, district delegate, will be present from this Comity. It is idle speculating upon the chances of this or that man. We believe the Convention will be actuated by a fervent desire to advance the principles of the Republican party, and at I the same time promote its success in the pres ent canvass. Persona! preferences, we trust and believe, will not be allowed to engender i feeling aud schism, but the proceedings of the j Convention will be such as will meet the en- ! thusiaatic approbation of the whole country, j Kz£F The Virginia Republican convention met Thursday at Wheeling, appointed dele gates at large to Chicago, with district dele gates alternates, and passed resolutions in favor of the nominee of the Chicago convention ; a tariff affording protection to the products of white labor in our country against those of other counties ; equality of rights among citi zens ; the homestead bill ; and a plan of colo nization ; aud opposiug proscription on account of opinion or place of birth, and the action of the present Administration in regard to the impressment of naturalized citizens when visit ing their native country. £s£r" A numerous meeting of the Democratic Party in Augusta, Georgia, was held on Friday night, when the orators of the occasion were Messrs. KINO, of Missouri, and FLOURNOY, of Arkansas, partisans of Mr. DOUGLAS. Their speeches were were well received, and action was taken with a view to the election of dele gates to the Baltimore Convention. ESCAPJ: OF A NOTED CONVlCT. —Abraham N. Kingsbury, who was convicted a few years since of robbing Gen. HALSEY, of Ithaca, of some SIO,OOO or $12,000 worth of jewelry, Railroad bonds, etc., at Congress Hall, Sara toga,—has escaped from Clinton Prison. He obtained in some way a suit of plain clothes, a false mustache, and thus disguised walked bold ly out of the yard, and was not missed until night. agy* Utah correspondents write on the 6th ult., presenting a graphic and trustworthy re preseutatiou of the condition of affairs in that Territory. Much excitement existed in regard to the debate in Congress upon the Polygamy bill; and some attempt at arming the militia, as if for resistance, had been made. This movement, however, was thought to originate in a desire to show cause why tliG Federal troops should be permitted to remain there, enriching the population by their expenditures, rather than with a view to serious disturbances. Judge ECKELS, whose resignation from the bench of the District Court takes effect on the Ist of July, had set aside the criminal proceed ings of the Territorial Court by releasing all the prisoners, seutenced by it, from confine ment. The dry weather had euded in a heavy rain, which had opened the season for agricul tural labor. During the Summer great im provements were to be consummated in Great Salt Lake City. Washington Fancies. The following extracts are taken from the letters of the Washington Correspondents : [From the Post.] A good story is told of Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania, in connection with the tenth ballot for Douglas at Charleston. The news came over the wires that Mr. Douglas has re ceived one hundred and fifty and one half votes. " One hundred and fifty—and one half. 11 repeated Mr. Stevens very slowly and mock seriously, " the one-half means Bigler Mr. Douglas was about the Capitol for several hours yesterday, and did not entirely give up the ship. A Republican, who is on good terms with him, asked of him, " Well, Judge, ve are all speculating on your chances, what do you think about it ?" "I dou't know," he replied "but they will sirindle me out of the nomina tion." " Aud if they do. suppose we put you up at Chicago—will you stand ?" Of course this was badinage, and the senator replied in the same vein, " Send your committee to me and if I don't do anything better for 'em, I'll give 'em some good whiskey, and we will talk the matter over." The plan of the seceders is to carry the elec tion into the House, where the southern can didate could easily get the vote of Oregon and Califoriua. When it comes to a choice between a Republican or a democratic President, Ken lucky, Tennessee and even Maryland, would vote for the candidate of the southern demo cracy. If not, these gentlemen claim that they would never dare vote for the Republican candidate. In that event the Senate would elect a Vice-President, who would be the act ing President, and of course the candidate of the southern men. [From the Press.] VMi E- EATING FAIR N ESS.

NO PRESIDENT IN* 18(10. To prevent a Democratic Contention from making a nomination for President, which would be certainly sustained at the polls, and to resist the inauguration of any Republican who may be elected ! This is secession logic carried into effect. It may be that by this method the present Executive is to hold over !! ADJOURNMENT OF TIIE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION* ITS EFFECT ON L'AUTISS The adjournment of the Convention at Charleston to-day, to meet at Baltimore on the 18th of June, forces the Republicans to lead off in the Presidential contest, which will be the most remarkable which the couutry has ever witnessed. Another effect of the adjournment at Char leston win be the rejection, mest probably, of Mr. SEWARD, at Chicago, and a strong Repub lican nomination, to satisfy the conservative element at the North, which antagonizes Mr. SEWARD, and meu of his extreme opiuious. At last I am able to state, upon theauthori ty of delegates just from Charleston, that the Tennessee resolutions were not adopted at Charleston, and the only resolution ou slavery adopted was the Ciueiuuati platform, pure and simple, llely on this. J. W. F. [From the Tribune.] THE CHICAGO CONVENTION. There are leading delegntes to the Chicago Convention here from nearly all the States to be represented in that Convention. Confer ences are numerous among them, but it is idle to speculate much as to results. The friends of Messrs. Bates, Chase, Seward, and Cam eron, are all confident, each of these being backed by his own State. In the event of all these being set aside, parties seem nearly equ ally divided in their preferences for Messrs. McLean and Wade. Some object to the for mer for two reasons—that he rejected the nomination in 1848 because he was on the bench, which reason is still valid, and because of his being committed to tbe doctrine of Squat ter Sovereignty. Speaking of Slavery in the Territories, he says : "Itis a domestic rela tion,over which the Federal Government can exercise no control.'' Gen. Cass indorsed this view as ''laying down the " proper bouudarv of Congressional interposition." To Mr. Wade we hear of no objection as a compromise candidate. Col. Fremont is frequently named with much of the old enthusiasm of 1856. His conduct since his defeat is not only declared to have been unexceptionable, but most admirably dis creet. Gov. Banks seems a favorite of the Ameri can-Republican element, lie was their nomi nee in 1856. THE CHARLESTON FACTIONS. Factions among the Charleston Delegates here to-day are bitter in their hostility to each other. The opponents of Mr. Douglas declare him dead, and that if nominated at Baltimore, as they concede probable, he cannot carry a single State in the Uuion. Not a Southern State will give him her vote. Per contra, his friends are jubilant. They deem both the Platform and the adjournment a success, and say full Douglas delegations from the seceding States will appear at Baltimore and secure his nomination. They affect to believe the senti ment of the people at the South is with them, and that they can carry every Southern State. Much bitter feeling is manifested toward Mr. Cushing for his partial rulings. The Providence Journal says that some of the Charleston delegates form N. Y. have been so indiscreet as to drink water, and have made themselves sick. LOCAL AND GENERAL. School Directors are again reminded, that in order to receive the State appropriation, it is necessary to forward to the County Superintendent the four months certificate and annual report before "the first Monday in June. C-R. COBURN. tffsT'Oa the thirtieth ult., several of our citizens to<k a trip to Barclay, for the purpose of dedi cating the new School House, which lias just been erect ed by the Company at an expense of about seven hun dred dollars. It was a source of great disappointment to those directly interested in the proceedings, that Mr. MCFARLANK, the superintendent of the whole operations, was not present. All regretted his absence, and none more than he, for he had felt great interest in the com pletion of the house and much credit is due to him for the prompt and energetic efforts that he has put forth to have erected there a comfortable building for the miners to worship in on the Sabbath, as well as for the education of their children during the rest of the week. The edi fice is really an ornament to the place, and speaks well for the liberality and correct views of the members of the Company, who advanced freely all the money asked for, and even suggested alterations and improvements that increased the expense. It is decidedly the best school house in the county, and is provided witli a bell which can be heard, when rung, by every person in the neighborhood. The exercises were commenced at 2 o'clock, P. M., by singing, reading the scriptures, and prayer by the Rev. Mr. DOUGLAS. Mr. TIDD, one of the Agents of the Com pany, then gave a short history of the building of the house, speaking of the anxiety felt by many of the mem bers of the Company, that the house should lie finished at an early day, and made in every way suitable for the comfort of all concerned, also of the untiring efforts of Mr. MCFAKLANE to have the wishes of the Company car ried out. Mr. Tini) was followed by Rev. Mr. FOSTER, who ad dressed more particularly parents upon the importance of the physical, intellectual and religious education of their children. The County Superintendent then ad dressed the chilureu, the parcuts, and the teacher, be was followed by Rev. Mr. CHILD, who also spoke to par ents upon the importance of care and judicious discrimi nation in the training of their children. Mr. TIDD next addressed the children, and was followed by Rev. Mr. DOUGLAS, who urged upon parents to give good heed to the religious training of their offspring The remarks of the several speakers were all calculated to leave good impressions upon the minds of the hearers. One of the school directors, Mr. COLE, of Franklin District, was present, as well as very many of the miners, and all ap peared gratified that so convenient a building had been provided for the intellectual and moral education of the citizens of the place and their children. The exercises were closed a*' 4 o'clock by singing a very appropriate liyinn by those who conduct that part of the religous exercises on the Sabbath. On the fir.-t inst. the school commenced under the charge of Mr. P. COBUKN. an experienced teacher of Leßaysville.

On Monday night, a week, a little Grocc*N* Store, on the bauk of the Canal, owned by Win. FLICKNER, was broken open, and his little stock of Groceries nearly all stolen. On Thursday night last, some thieves entered the cel lar of DANIEL WRIGHT, and cartied off nearly a barrel of pork. No clue has been rih<3 to any of the perpetrators of these felonies.
