Dele. gates from eight States were present. They adopted the following protest : "Tu .#lnericutt Party if the Union—The undersigned, delegates to the National Niimi natinc,r' Convention now - in session at Philadel phia,find theinselvcs compelled to dissent from the principles avowed by -that body. And holding the opinion, us thty do, that the res toration of the .lissonri Compromise', demand ed by the freemen of the North, as redress of an undeniable wrong, and the _insertion of it,-- in spirit at least, indispensable to the repose of the country ; they have regarded the refusal of that Convention to recognise the. well de fined opinions of the North and of the Ameri cans of the free States upon this question as a denial of' their right and ,a rebuke - of their sen timents. o•They have therefore withdrawn from the nominating convention, refusing to participate in the proposed nominations, and now address themselves to the Americans of the country, especially of the Slates they represent, to jus tify and approve their action, and to the end that nominations conforming to the'overruling se-ntiments of the country on the great issue may be regularly and auspiciously made, the undersigned propose to the 'Americans in all the States to as a semble in their several' State organizations, and that delegates be sent to the convention to meet in the city of New York on Thursday, the 12th of June .next, fbr• the purpose of nominating candidates for President and Vice President of the United States." Some of the clelegates decided in favor of uniting with the republicans, while- others said that if that were dune they could not re main in the organization. Gov.

Had the nomination been deferred until after the Black Republicans had made choice, and the Know Nothings adopted the same candidates, they think a chance to elect might have existed for them ; butt now that hope is "dissipated in to thin air," and there is not a cheering ray in their prospect. There Is, however, no occa sion for .the opposition, of any, or all, colors, to put themselves to much trouble about the cowing election, as the people Fee that the Democracy can alone be truted in this impor tant crisis, and will, without fail, elect the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention, which will'assemble in June next. n — PoorSinn Houston !

Mr. Buchanan's intercourse with the British government is a frequent and cordial as it has ever been. Th . bellicose tone of a portion of the British pr ss finds no echo as yet in Parlia ment nor from the ministry, and i t is to be re marked as a peaceful token that Lord Palmer ston's special organ, the POst, speaks very amicably of the pending dispute,, and depre cates war, and imputes to 'political` motives, on the part of the present administration, the. whale blame of the present difficulties.

SPECIAL EKVOY FROM ENGLA N D.—The New York Times says that some of the mercantile letters received by the Asia mention, the ru mored probability of a special envoy being sent to Washington by the British Government on the Central American and Enlistment difficul _tics.

' . MR: EDITOR :74 see the Star is still crack ing away, at a fine rate, against his ..`Catholic Friends." Has he not undergone many add material changes since the time he addressed them that long and fatherly pastoral, in-which he exhorted them what to abstain from, as well as instructed them what course to pur sue, in the then approaching election. When he condescended thus to single them* out from the rest of .his political brethren, in order to preserve theta from the unpardonable sin of mixing religion with politics,. I looked upon hint as one of the best Whigs and purest pa triots that the county of Adams was blessed with. The encouragement, too, that he then gave Mr. Neely, through the columns of his Star, was perfectly exhilerating.. and the yeti -est Democrat would have sworn from the air of authority, and the tone of candor which he assumed, that the whole Whig ticket must be elected, all that the Locofocos could bring_to bear to the contrary, notwithstanding. _ But when the returns of that election began to appear, through the audible murmurs of the SLUT, behold what a change catne - over. the spirit of NUT dreams, .as Wei as over the - late (expressed) sentiments of the Star. It was found from his own statements that his nomi nee, Mr. Neely, received but eleven votes in the Whig Borough of Gettysburg ; and yet this friend and champion of his neither shed a tear of sympathy overlds defeat nor' put forth even a hint of blame on those who had deserted him by wholesale, both in the Borough and through- ' out the county-, save—those—of—lrisofic-- 1 Friends," whom he had so emphatically com manded, a short time before, to "vote inac coidance with their judgment and their con sciences." Now, this is the man that. thun ders so loudly against the Democracy of the State, for daring _to consider and grant the prayer of a band •of Bristhers, who ask the Legislature for an act of incorporation, to ena able them, more effectually. to "relieve and support destitute and dependent persons, and to educate_ children and maintain orphans." These Brothers ask for. nothing' that is "re pugnant to, or inconsistent with the constitu- , tion and laws of the U. States, or this State," and are men of irreproachable moral character; yet our friend of the Star joins the Harrisburg Telegraph, in declaring that they are bound by secret oaths of an unqualified obedience to a superior general ; intimating at the same time, that their order is identified with the monasteries of. the Middle Ages, wherein "crimes of the blackest turpitude were com mitted with impunity." Now we have the authority of the Star and Telegraph only, for these startling insinuations. I know not what faith can be put in the assertions of the latter, but I cannot but marvel how the Telegraph got in possessmn of the secret oaths of the or- i der in question. As for the Star, lam never at a loss to know how to dispose of its line dixit, when the interests or prejudices of its editor are on the opposite scale. The history of Col. Neely, and that of the election of the fall of 1554, will fully coincide with, and cor roborate these assertions. In fact, he has been known to err, even when truth _would have suited better - than fiction. His Niagara letter will confirm this. So, while he is not well posted up in .9.nerican history, we must not be surprised to find him so fluent in bringing forth, from the Dal k Ages, imputations against an order that now defies and dares the whole Know Nothing tribe to directly prefer any specific charges of a criminal nature against unv of its members. liut the country is yet safe, from the fact that the Democracy, as well as the quintessence of the Whig party. have arrayed themselves on the side of the Constitution and the laws. in opposing'ti faction that would thus trample on the rights of men, because they prefer fol lowing the -dictates of their conscience awl judgment," rather than obey the demands of a Set of disappointed office seekers, who have the impudence to arror , ate to themselves the exclusive appellation of ••Americans," and who are said to be governed by 'an oath of an unqualified obedience "to the will of a major ity of the order, when expressed in a lawful manner, although it may conflict with their con bciencc or their personal preferenc. ) !

Resolved, That whilst our and the general -regret-oceasioned-by-tlie-deeease-of_our_vatu.• urother is of no ordinary character, what must not be the sorrow of Ills bereaved family and friends, who were connected with him by the most endearing relations, and "who knew and loved him best." We would extend to them, in this hour of their heavy-affliction, the ex pression of our heartfelt'sympathy. Resolved. That the usual mourning badge he worn by the members of the Lodge for the space of thirty days, and that the Hall be pla ced in mourning for the same length of time. Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing be furnished the widow of the deceased by the Secretary, and that he- have the same publish ed in the papers of the town. At a meeting of the "Independent Blues," at the Armory, on Friday evening, Feb. 29th, Dam Wn.Ls, Esq., after a few appropriate remarks in regard to the death of JAMES G. Ream, Esq., and his relations to the Company, submitted the following resolutions, which were unanrinougly adopted : Resolved, That the members cf this Compa ny have beard with profound emotion of the decease of Gen. JAMES G. HEED, whose recent resignation of his commission as Captain of our Company. on account of declining health, was deeply regretted, and whose death has caused unfeigned and heartfelt sorrow. Resolved, That in the death of Mr. REED, our Company has lost a firm friend to true military discipline, who, while averse to a national standing army, yet strenuously advo cated the true republican defence by means of a well-disciplined corps of volunteers—an army of citizen soldiers instead of mercenaries. Resolved, That, while the deceased socially lives in our remembrance of his many virtues, his warm and steady friendship, and in the affections of friends and bereaied kindred, and in the high regard of the community, still he officially lives more indelibly engraven on our hearts by his military instructions and the support and dignity he added to our Company. Resolved, That the S3cretary of this meet ing be instructed to transmit a copy of the foregoing resolutions to the widow of the de ceased, as an expre,sion of our hig;t e-teem for him whose loss we now mourn, and that, these proceedings he published in the papers of the county.

The mean tern pc-ratan: is ca - b - Triated — ft IJIII it egister - kept — hr Prof. J.kcons, indicating the state of the ther mometer at 7 o'clock A. M., 2 P. M., 'and - 9 P. M., of each -day, during the entire period, and is given in degrees and parts of a degree. The footing up of the c , )lumns indicate the mean tempeiature and total amount of pre- cipitatiou for each year. The precipitation includes, of Course, the a mount of rain andsnow, the hitter being re duced to water, and is given in inches. The table is, an .interesting one, enabling the reader to ascertain the relative amounts of precipita tion and the relative mean - temperature 101 4 any month or season during the seventeen years : .• 1 1 1 C Communicated I I M On an examination of the foregoing table, the reader will be struck with the remarkable uniformity of mean temperature in every'year. The average mean temperature for the entire seventeen years is 50.5 6 , and the greatest vari ation from this is only about 21°, in 1,'5-1, the summer and fall of which were unusually hot. So that it may be regarded as a well ascer tained physical law that extremes of temper. ature, either heat or cold, in any season, will be compensated during the balance of the year, so as to bring out an average tempera ture, during the year, of 30.55°, or therea bouts. The highest mean temperature was in 1554 ---53.52°; the lowest in 1849-48.47°. The greatest amount of precipitation was in 1846-52.278 inches ; the least in 1845- 30.190 inches. The quantity of rain during the months of June, July, August and September, 1853, was 13.214 inches; Iris 4, 7.825 inches ; and in 185;5, 2e.306 inches—so that considerably more than halt of the precipitation during the wholeof the year 1655 took place during those four months. The mean temperature for the last month (January, 1t36,) was 17.86°, having-been much ;he coldest month during the period covered by the above table. The amount of precipitation during the last month was 2.750 inches. Having hPen main ly or altogether in the form of snow, and ten inches of snow being equal to about one of wa ter, tins amount of snow which fell during the monl,h-may-be—put at 27 Sin.
