voted ton years ago is to favor Abolition, in.
cendiarism and : disunion. This could: not
effectually be done if the Free Soil side of

On the, one hand, 'to extendi on tho 'tther to'

• Coming from so progressive a Republican as

a deal oif fogylsm in those speculations., John,
not Adam Ritter’s old Mler (Eagle), like
every pther national newspaper, .regards .the

of the advancing spirit of constitutional fidel-
ity. -The issue 'to 1 the present contest in this
State is net, whether Congress er a .geograph

ot the people shall prevail; and Mr. Geeki-ey

[Correspondence of The Press.]
Washington, Sept. 9,1857.
General Herr&n bos not signed tho treaty bo
twoijn and the United States to ; day,
.as it was' expected ho would do,' on tho part of tho
former power. Tho points are agreed on, and I
cannot explain the reason for the delay.
, Col. S. A.Lookridge, lately of Gon. Walker’s
army, card in the True Delta, of Now
Orleans.; stating the foot that he has no longor any
connection whatever with Nicaraguan affairs.
Though he is not aetivoly engaged with those who
in junta to Amerioanizo the dlstraoted ele
ments of Central American confederacies, yot It is
undoubted that tho “cause” has his strong sympa
thy now; as when he brought to Walker a large and
effective force just In the nick of time, and when
the invaders were in their direst extremity.
■ Poople here forget to talk about replacements in
the Departments in thoSr, doslro to know who wIU
bo appointed to tho vaoanoy in tho Supremo Court.
Just notf tho Beloctiqn socins to lio botwoon Judge
Gilchrist, of tho Court'of Claims, and Gov.Touooy,
tho Secretary of the 'Navy. lion. Nathan Clifford,
ofM&iao, willlio astrong man, butso far as I can
learn, his friends have not brought forward his
name with any'spirit. • Governor Toucoy does not
live in the jndloial’distriot to ho represented, but
what effect this will hdvo on the decision by the
President it is Impossible'to foretell, for up to tho
.present’ time tho Cabinot and tho President, as an
administration, have dono nothing moro than ac
oopt Judge Curtis’ resignation. Judgo Gilchrist
was fonhorty Chief Justioo of New Hamshire, is a
noted jurist and popular with bis party, and tho
objection which may bo made to Governor Toucey
cannot apply to'him. In truth, at this moment,
one can only Bpooulatu as to tho result.
The Congressional district of Indiana; rendered
vacant by' tho doce&So of Judge Lockhart, who was
an advocatoof the administration,'will, it is pretty
generally conooded, ho represented in tho uoxt

“Her Majosty commands us to oxprosS to you her sa

trusts that, by the earnest efforts of the contracting par
ties to tho treaty,’ all tliat retrains to bo done with re

“Her Majesty commands us to inform you that tho ex
tensive mutinies which havo broken out among tho,

disturbances in many parts of that Presidency, have oc
casioned Her Majesty extromo concern, and the barba
rities which havo been inflicted'upon many of Her

J. McKibben, Esq., submitted the report of the Com
mittee on Resolutions, which was unanimously adopted.
Resolved, That speaking for the city of Philadelphia,
which, long the head-quarters of the opposition to the
Democratic party,has now become the very citadel of the
Constitutional principles and the right arm of the gene
ral administration in this State, we do hereby pledge
our best support to President Buchanan and to his con
servative policy, and we invoke all good men to aid and
sustain them.
Resolved. That having steadily adhered nnder every
disaster to the rights of the States, even when the deso
lating waves of Abolitionism rolled around and over as,
we cannot now withhold out warm approval of those
rights, deeply involved as they arc in tho present
struggle in Kansas, and Shat in the principle that the
majority shall rule we behold the best assurance that
States rights aro essential to Territories as well as to
States.
Resolved, That President Buchanan’s letter to the
fanatics of Coonoctlcut, who sought to Instruct him in
his duty to the Constitution, and to appeal to a sec
tional prejudice in support of a sectional design we
behold a manifestation of calm courage iu behalf of the
constitutional rights of all the States, and a proof of.
patriotic disinterestedness worthy of all the commen
dation which has been showered upon him by the con
servative men of all parties.
Resolved, That wo regard tho election of William F.
Packer, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Penn
sylvania, as “ fixed fact,” and that In the almost uni
versal acquiescence in the principles he advocates, and
iu the policy to which, by the Convention that nomi
nated him, he stands pledged, wehsre the assurance of
throe years of an honest, faithful, and orthodox adminis
tration of the State Government.
Resolved, That in the nomiuees of the Democratic
State Convention for Judges of the Supreme Court, we
hate two of tho ablest and most experienced jurists in
Pennsylvania, and that we feci confident thai their cer
tain election to those high positions will redound to
the best interests of the Commonwealth.
Resolved, That the nominees of this Convention for
Senate and Assembly are entitled to the warm support
of all well-wishers for tho prosperity of our city, and
we feol assuted that, pledged as they are to the support,
and maintenance of Democratic doctrines, in their
hands the integrity of- the Democratic party will never
be sullied.

Commissioner, Nimrod Strickland, la one of nature’s

COUNTY LEGISLATIVE CONVENTION.
THE NOMINATIONS.
The Democratic County Legislative Convention
reassembled at Mechanics’ Hall yesterday morn
ing.
At ton o’clock the Convention was called to order
by the President, J. J. Meany, Esq., aid as each
member answered. to his name on the calling of
the roll, he paid his assessment, twenty-five cents,
to the Treasurer, to delVay the expenses of the
hall, etc.
Thos. S. Fernon, from the Committee on Resolu
tions. submitted the following, which were unani
mously adopted:
# “ Whereas, To the Democratic County Legisla
tive Convention is entrusted the responsible duty
of soleoting candidates for the suffrages of the
Democratic party in the most populous repre
sentative district in the Koystone Commonwealth,
it is fitting, if not incumbent, that a body acting iu
behalf of a local Philadelphia part In the great po
litical organization which spreads oyer tho whole
nation, moulding its laws and preserving its institu
tions, a blessing to the American people and a hope—
light to the older nations across toe sea—shoold em
body in a eonoiseform, and express with that frank
ness which is nearest akin to sincerity, its unwaver
ing oonfidenoe in the Demooratio party, and the true
men who, whilo its honors, laithfally ad
minister the laws that reflect its power exercised
in legislation: Therefore,
Resolved, That in our present Chief Magis
trate, James Buohanan, Pennsylvania’s presiden
tial gift to the Union, through tho intrepid con
stancy of the national Democracy, who constitute
tho political power of the nation In the enaotmeut
and execution of its laws, and in the defence and
maintenance of Its Constitution, we are proud to
express in words, and exhibit in aots, our un
wavering confidence, and pledge to him, in the dis
charge of his offioial duties and the party’s
usages, our steadfast co-operation and cordial sup
port
“ Resolved, That as it was reserved to Pennsyl
vanians to present to their countrymen a President
in a political crisis, so also was it reserved to the
Democracy of Pennsylvania to present to tho
Democracy ef the States of the Union, a states
man fostered in their affection and favor, fitted to
meet and master the exigencies of that crisis, and
through the doctrines of tho Inaugural Address,
administered in acts of administrative wisdom and
justice, slay the tumult of fanaticism, and restore
peace to the States distracted with factions, and
gladness to tho States blest with the conservatism
of moderation; thereby tending to romako the
Union a brothorhood of freemen, and winning for
his country concession and consideration, oven to
foreshado wed-continental rank among tho political
powors of tho earth.
“ Resolved, That President Buchanan’s recent
keon-edged rebuko to Professor Stillman and his
two score of fellow memorialists, whose first caro
should be tho hoaling of their own local flocks of
that fanaticism which in Yankecdom is rampant, ;
elicits our heartiest admiration; because, in the
President’* conclusive reply, is administered an
antidote to a political virus that had insidiously
penetrated into many minds that only needed
such a prescription to become onoe moro national
ly patriotic in sentiment andjmpolse. In that
glowing executive vindication,‘too, wo behold the
mastery of wise practical statesmanship in govern
mental affairs, over that less comprehensive intel
ligence whichcommands worthiest commendation in
the walks of scionce, and in the special calling for
which it is nurtured.
“ Resolved, That in General William P.
Packer, of Lycoming county, the Democracy of
Pennsylvania have a worthy and deserving stan
dard-bearer in the present State canvass; a
co-worker and 00-walker In the Democratic
ranks, sinco ho crossed the threshold that di
vides minority and manheod; a representative
who has ripened into a statesman; a political eco
nomist, who understands tho laws of trade and the
wants of a seaport city; a man warm-hearted,
generous, and prompt—one who, in attaining to ma
ture years, has attained to honorable distinction,
so that one stop more will elevate him to tho chair
of tho ohief magistracy of this ancient, honored,
and beloved Commonwealth—the political summit
of the Koystone State, and a port of distinction
which is only overtopped by tho loftier attitude of
tho Presidency of the United States.
“ Resolved, That in Nimrod Strickland, of Ches
ter county, the Democracy of Philadelphia have a
near neighbor, whom they esteem as a man and
approve ds a Democrat. He has our confidence
ana warm wishes—bo shall have our votes and will
be the noxt Canal Commissioner.
“ Resolved, That in William Strong, of Berks
county, and James Thompson, of Erie oounty, we
hnvo two gifted minds of the legal profession, who
will sustain the high intelleotual standard of tho'
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania—our tribunal of
last resort, and which, under tho elective polley of
our State Constitution, has ever presented and pre
served a pro-eminent array of intellect, acquire
ment, and independence.
“ Resolved , That in these four candidates on the
State ticket, we hare four individuals who have
‘kopt pace with the music’ of the party, with
the privates in Us ranks, and with its representa
tives in positions of honor and of trust, always faith
ful to its behests, true to its principles, and devoted
to its objects.
“ Resolved, That the circumstance that this
Convention have nominated thirteen candidates on
the Legislative tiokot for those Wards comprised in
the old county of Philadelphia, two more than last
year, and fivo moro than in JSfiO—the area and tho
bounds of tho District having undergone no change,
while tho ratio of representation was twice en
larged—exhibits the rapid increase of population,
, ana admonishes this Convention of the necessity of
choosing irreproachable persons to proteot aud pro
mote tho vAst interests represented by our delega
tion.”
On motion of Isaac Leech, Jr., the candidate in
tho 12th district, John Wharton; the candidate in
tho 14th district, Oliver Evans; and the candidate
in the 15th district, J. H. Askin, were unanimously
declared to bo tho nominees of the Convention for

Ste&m Fire Engine. —A correspondent,
strongly impressed with the advantages of a steam
fire engine, informs us that several months since i
the Diligent Fire Engine Company petitioned the
city authorities to place in Us possession the
steamer u Young America,' 11 to bo umd in the ex
tinguishment of fires; and also asked that assffi- ;
cient sum of money to be appropriated to pay the
expense of having it thoroughly repaired for aaiira
serrioe, with a moderate, though adequate smeont t
to meet the running expenses of the machine. This
request not being granted, the company renewed..
its application, and the present Committee on *
Trusts and Fire Department reported a hill giving -
the “ Young America” into their charge, and at? .
propriating about $3OOO for repairing it. Tha -
Company is willing to take the engine with this .
amount and put it in first rate order, hut the hill
remains in statu quo. The steam engine original
ly cost oar mereaants 810, 000. In viewer the
coming winter season, a 4y action in this matte*
should be immediate, and it is hoped the hill as .
reported by Mr. Mascher will at onoe he taken np '

The American Pharmaceutical Convention.
—This body again met yesterday morning at nine
o'clock, in thqlower room of the Collego ot Phar
macy, on Zane street, above Seventh.
After the Convention had completed the elec
tion of new officers, the roll was called by the
secretary, W. J. M. Gordon, of Cincinnati. The
report of tha committee on nominations was then
read, after which the Convention proceeded to
elect officers for the present year.
The following is a list of the officers elected by
the Convention:
For President—Charles Ellis, Philadelphia.
Vice Presidents—James Cook, Fredericksburg,
Va.; 8. P. Peck, Bennington, Yt ; A. E. Rich
ards, Plaqnemine, La.
Treasurer—Samuel M. Colcord, Boston, Maas
Recording Secrelaiy—W. J. M. Gordon, Cincin
nati, Ohio.
Corresponding Secretory—Edward Parrish, Phil
adelphia.
Executive Committee—S. S. Garriguea, Joseph
Roberts. H. T. Cummings, W. H. Gilman, W. J.
M. Gordon.
Committee on the Progress of Pharmacy.—lsrael
J. Grahame, R.H Stabler, Fred. Stearns, Engene
Dupuy, Edward Parrish.
The President, Mr. Chas. Ellis, of this city, was
then conducted to the chair, and made a few per
tinent remarks appropriate to the occasion.
A report of the committee appointed to report
at the annual meeting of 1857. on the subject of
the sale of poisons by pharmaceutists and others,
and the logal means of restraining it, was read by
S. S. Garngues, chairman.
The committee appointed to report on home adul
terations, and to bring forward any recommenda
tions in reference to the enactment by the States of
laws controlling this evil whioh they deem advisa
ble, eta ted through 0. B Guthrie, of New York,
ebatrtnan, that no written report had been pre
pa*** by them. Mr. Guthrie thought that if the
devil ever had bis position on earth he had it in
the subject of homo adulterations [Laughter.j
He would say he had a great many facta to make
known relative to this hydra-headed scheme of
rascality, but that in consequence of illness he had
been unable to present & report. He said be
would accept the position of chairman of that com
mittee for the next year, provided that any three
or five gentlemen from different cities of the
United States will pledge themselves to assist him
in it? production.
A motion was previously made that the Commit
tee on Home Adulterations be discharged from the
further consideration of the subject, which, on tho
offer made by Mr. Guthrie, the question for recon
sideration of the vote eame before the Convention.
This motion was the subject of a lengthy debate,
in which a number of important facts relative to
tho adulteration of drugs were brought forward.
A motion was fhrther made that the names of al,
individuals engaged in this species of home adul
terations, together with the facts of such casail
might be included in the report.
Mr. Guthrie thought, that if the Convention in
tended to pursue that course it had better pre
pare itself with a very long purse.
The idea was, that tho committee should be left
to report simply the fact?, and to keep the names
in their hands in such a manner as would not in
volve them in lawsuits.
Mr. S. M. Colcord,of Boston, coincided with the
views expressed by the previous speaker. He was
inclined to believe that the matter would become
ap individual one. and rest upon the individuals
engaged in preparing the report.
Dr. Edward Parrish thought that the facts of
tho names being in the hands of the committee
would be a publication of a nature seoond only to
a newspaper report. Tho names he thought in
course of time woald find a proper outlet.
The motion on the publication of names was then
withdrawn.
5Jr. Coloord movod that tho Convention proceed
to the electiou of members to serve upon the Com
mitteo on Home Adulteration?.
The motion was carried, and the following named
gentlemen received the endorsement of the Con
vention : C. B. Guthrie, N. Y.; Albert B. Taylor
Philadelphia; Chas. T. Carney, Boston ; Alpheus
B. Sharp, Baltimore; Williamß.Fiake, Cleveland
Ohio. *
The inbjeot of home adulteration attracted much
attention among the delegates.
Mr. Wm. Fiske, of Cleveland, Ohio, made a
statement relative to an article of Blue Mass, pur
porting to be of foreign importation, which had *
decided run in the Western country some time aco
No one would buy anything but the English article
-no one would touch anything else. Finally, the
success which the article had met caused an
examination to be made of it, when lo 1 two-third*
of the Maas was found to consist of blue clay ’ a
pound of which might be swaltowed with impunity
The morning session was then adjourned: V*
The Convention again met in tho afternoon h c
