Mr. Swartzwider for peosecution offered the affidavit of James Ross , deft., dated in 1855, to prove that he bad an interest in the eighty six acres of Land for Which the ejectment suit was brought in 1851. ... Mr. Ilempton objected to the admission of the affidavit, because if John Ron did make it it was not:sufficient In itself. The Court overrated the objection. The paper sets 'forth that Kelly was indebted to Ross in the sum of $5,700. Mr. Woods was recalled and was asked what was the nature of tbo claim in the ejectment • case. Mr.•Fenlon objected and a long argument ensued, and a great number of cases were quoted Swartzwelder. Mr. Collier read from Greenleaf the-authority for bringing a witness to show the posture of the ease. The Court ruled that testimony bearing on the title of the land,pould not be admitted, but . ouly "did ho on the role' dire swear falsely as to 'f, his interest in the land in question!" .. ,(3 ' The prosecution then showed Mr. Woods a copy of an agreement relative to certain St acres of land'on which an action was brought in 1 .46 the District Court in 18513. An argument arose li on the question whether Mr. Woods should say fl that the 8 5-acres of land mentioned in the agree ?. meat and the land in the ejectment suit were the seine. - Mr. Hampton contended that this - I was only an opinion of one of the counsel in t the case and was no evidence. A good deal of .'• I spirited repartee arose and considerable feellig between counsel. Mr.'llampton said finally that 4 ,11 he would go into the matter by calling Mr. Wil ' (-...,: llama, counsel on tlio opposition side in the trial 5.7 : ~- of 1856. Mr. Woods then went. on to state that r." . --: :all he knew about the land was what he learned :,:: from the papers and trials in these cases in 4 which he was engaged as attorney. A release . : of Amu, Ross to . James Kelly, under date 9 , 4 November, 1852, wits then read, in which it ap `Peered that James Ross had made this release more than a year subsequent to the time when A ,1 he 'had sworn he had no interest in it.

L. 'Mau, Ciro. W. Qms+ An, Petrov . j LATVIT IdOVEII6NT to POLITIC . I.—SOOTI after q the Republican Convention met in this city, a I call was left at one of the newspaper offices in I this city, by a postmaster, for a convention to I put in nomination a ticket for the county. The primary meetings were to be held on last Satur day, the 19th inst., bo. history has no record of any such event having ever oocurred. Our re porter made anxious inquiries, and instituted a vigorous search on that occasion, but the pri mary meetings were not found. We beard of three patriots meeting In an upper chamber in a lonely building in the vicinity of Hard Scrab ble, and one being appointed chairman; ho send ing the other two as thefruits of the primary meet ing for that ward. However, if there were no primary meetings there was at least a conven at the Court Douse yesterday, in addition to which there 'was a °Native" Convention, the delegates to which were elected secretly. The delegates were made up of that same element which need to howl around the street corners in 1859 "Americans shall rule America." This was the substratum of the movement, as might be seen if we should give the names of the delegates.— There was a nominal delegation from the 9 wards of this city, from the four wards of Allegheny, from four boroughs, and from nine townships, making in all 52 delegates. Dr. Allen of West Deer was elected President of the convention and a young man named T. F. Wilson, student at law formerly, and a gentleman named H. P. Callow, were Secretaries. There was a supplementary convention or ganized at the same time in one corner of an upper room, which called itself a Republican Convention. They went down after la little and "fused" with ttie Americans under the above board of officers. Major John Willock and Jno. Sawyer, Esq., having been appointed or elected vice presidents. The convention having been thus jointly organized, proceeded to business. It was in fact a "natyve" convention and yet, strange to tell, we saw as delegates in the "Straight American" branch, a gentleman from the Eighth Ward, Mr. George Seitz, whose name and whose accent proclaim him German; also Mr. Thomas Holt of the Seventh Ward, whose aversion to the letter "H" is remarkable. Were they let in by one of Mr. Sanderson's side-door arrangements? Well: now for business. This was soon done. It was deemed advisable not to nominate candi dates for County offices. But it waa thought advisable to elect delegates to the Harrisburg Convention, which will meet on the I 6th of July. Accordingly Messrs. A. P. Callow, Henry Phillips, L. O. Cameron, George Dixon, T. F, Wilson, and James Sutherland, all "Straight- Outs" with one exception, were chosen. On motion, the fallowing gentlemen were ap pointed alternates: W. F. Johnston, A. W. Loo mis, Charles Robinson, Joseph Irwin, Peter Weaver, T. J. Bighorn, and Charles Johnston. In justice to Hon. A. W. Loomis, Hon. W. F. Johnston, and Hon. T. J. Bighoto, we will state our belief founded on the best information, that their names were used without their knowledge or consent. As to the other gentlemen among the alternates we are not informed. The Convention having organized, at len o'clock, adjourned at about one o'clock. It was agreed to "meet again" on the 25th of August. We had nearly omitted to mention that:one res olution was offered and adopted, which reads an follows, and which we would have voted for had we been in the Convention: Resolved, That it Is the desire of this Canyon ticcr that the County Commissioners borrow no more money until they have compelled their col lectors to pay in the taxes now due, and that unless they do no, they shall not receive a vote from the people.
