PRESIDENT HANNIBAL HAMLIN, or 'mere. 1011. fIOVIIRXOIIO, Col. Andre* G. PAirtin OP CENTRE COUNTY: The Baltimore -Conventiona l - We givea short account ; iganotlrr, column, of the proceedings of the •tifo DeMooritio Con- . ventiOni, 'Which met at BaltiMore islet 'week. Want ..of space provente us,.thleyeek,-fninrie felling to the • proceedings of. the Conventions or their candidatei. The divan -between the two brintohes of a divided Democracy are family quarrels to be settled hy,,themselves, and with which we 'have. neither right nor inclination to interfete.--We present the proceedings more particularly for the purpose of showing how each dendidate was nominated. Douglas was nominated by a convention, rep resenting slew number of electoral von; than were represented in the Chicago Convention, .The 'same maybe said of reokenrulge. Doug las .was mainly nominated by the votes of Northern delegates, as was Breckenridge by Southern delegates. Eaqh;ao far as the mere form:of nomination is concerned, was sectional, whilst each was nominated in a sectional spirit. Heneeforth'the cry against the sectionalism of the Republican Party is an empty ono, and can have neither foroo nor effect in view of the po olden of the Democratic Party; which has been loud in its boasts of its Nationality. One wing of the Demme°, must inevitably de feat the other. The triumph of the Republi can Party is no longer a question of doubt, and the only question with theTaotions of the Dem ooratio Party will be, whioh shall come strong est out of the conflidt, after Lincoln's election. Two electoral tickets for Douglesand Breoken ridge insures the triumph j ot' Lincoln in every Free State and renders quite probable a triumph in the States of Delaware and Missouri. Let the Republicans gither hope and encouragement from the acts of the past week and buckle on their armor for a decisive victory. fine 11011ZSITAD BILL VETOED.--On Satur day last, President Buchanan seats message to the Senate vetoing the Homestead bill, which passed the Senate and the House. Two votes were wanting in the Senate to pass tho bill over the President's veto by a two-third vote. Had the bill reaehed the House 41 two•thirds vote in its favor was in readiness. The Presi dent assigned as a reason for his veto the con stitutional objection, that the Government had no right to give away the public lands.— Does not the venerable old gentleman know, that the bill ptovides a price in certain oases of si x ty-two cents per acre, and 'in others of twenty-five cents ? The bill only reduces the prices for actual settlers. They also assigned as an objection, that the bill, in reducing the price of the publiclands, would operate to the prejudice of the soldiers, who had received land from the Government. Does not the Pres ident know again, that, as a general rule, the land-warrants of the . old soldiers have; passed into the hands of speculators? The homestead Measure will be an impbrtant element in the political issues of the coining fall election, and the triumph of the Republican Party is the( safest guaranty of the, success of the Home: stead principle. -- - . Tan Tentri.--- - Will the voter), of Pennsyl vania bear in mind that after a Republican Committee of Ways and Means had re ported Merril's tariff bill, and a Republican House of Representatives hid passed the melt , sure, ivhich was approved of by the, people of Pennsylvania, a Democratic Semite decided to postpone' the consideration of the question until December. next. All Republican votes were found in the negative, aided by but two Dem ocratic votes. General Foster, the Demociatio candidate for. Governor, was present, asking that for hie sake and the cause of the Demo-, crude party in Pennsylvania the bill might be passed. Democratic Senators were inexorable. The bill must be killed, and so it was decided to postpone the consideration of the bill.— Which is the Tariff Party, tho Republican or the Demooratigyarty? The acts of both par ties in Congretis speak for themselvea, and any one, who has any understanding, cannot help but poiceive. On which party rests the 're sponsibility of the defeat of the twin On the Democratic Party. Will not the honest voters of the State hold them responsible in October and November next?. How THE ENGLISH BILL WAS PASSED.- We transfer to our columns a' portion of the the testimony taken before the Covode Inves tigating Committee, shoWhighow the Admin istration, after being defeated "in forcing the 'bill through. Congress, admitting Sinus, under the Lecompton constitution; undertook to force through Congress the English bill. Wendell was printer of the President and of the Senate, and from his exorbittwit profits . was required to expend immense sums in bribing . Adminisixa tion measures ,tlimggh Congress. We shall hereafter publish Weideill's own testimony, in which he admits having disbuysed $30,000 or '540,000 for this purpoee. Let the testimony be read, and lit the corruptions of the present Administration be fully understood. FOSTER'S Arrursticz.--Gelleral Foster went to Waithingtori for the'purpose of influenoing Demooratlo Senators to support Merril's Tariff bill and to effect 'speedy passage. It was moved that'. the ininlideration of the question be posiponed intil.December next. But two Democratic Senators voted with the Republi cans against the postponement, Senator Bigler of Pennsylvania and Senator Latham of Cali fornia. Such 4nis the extent of General Fos ter's inflame.

SECOND MINORITY REPORT was submitted by Mr. flitting's on his own part as an individual member of the convention. Re agreed with the majority: except in the case of Ala., in which case he reported in favor of the admis sion of the original delegation. During the day's session the platform broke down, requiring a recess 'of the Convention for repairs. No harm was done. On Friday the report of the majority was adopted. The vote on the, admission of the Soule Douglas delega tion from Louisiana, 5t00d.153 in their favor, to 98 in favor of the original seceders.

LINCOLN AND TRZ .MEZICAN WAR. The charge that Lincoln, whilst in Congress, re. Need to vote supplies for the Mexican war, has so often been refuted, that those now repeating the charge could net be made to confess their error by any evidence whatever, rimy per. eistently assert that they know to be falae.— Lincoln never approved of the Mexican war, and whilst in Congress voted in favor of reso lutions expressing his condemnation of the manner in which the war was commenced, but he always voted in favor of necessary supplies for the soldiers, • Per proof reference need but be had to the records of Congress. This Lin coln asserted in answer to Judge Douglas, in Illinois, and even called up Jude Floklin, a .member of Congress at tha same time end a supporter of Judge Douglas, to confirm his story and Judge Douglas did not dare to deny it. Is any further argument necessary with persons, who knowing these facts, still persist in denying the truth and publishing false hoods? Los NAILED.—Sinoe Lincoln's nomination the Democratic Press have published the fol lowing untruths, in many cases knoWn to be such and, in other oases, innocently copied from others, all of whioh have been refuted: 1. That Lincoln refused to vote supplies for he Mexican War. 2. That Lincoln received from Congress, whilst a member, three pair of boots in lieu of stationery. 3. That Lincoln, in a speech, said ".lie meant to go to the banks of the Ohio and throw mis siles to disturb the people of Kentucky in their domestic institutions." What charge comes neat? FROM BLAIR'S RESIONATIQN. —The Hon. Frank Blair, of Missouri, to whom Congress granted the seat, to which Mr. Barret, the Democratic nominee was returned by five or six hundred msjority, has resigned his seat, and will be a candidate for re-election, not only for his unexpired term, but also for the next Congress. Mr. Blair was defrauded out of his certificate of election in 1858, and so confident is he of this fact, that he . ' ishes not only the decision of Congress in his favor, but asks the renewed verdict of the people. Mr. Barret will be a candidate against him. The election will take place in August. THE NIGGER IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTT.--It has been alleged in times gone by that the hobby of the Republican party was the slavery question. If any person will read the pro ceedings of the Democratic National Conven tion at Charleston and Baltimore, he will see that the constant subject of discussion • it the question of. slavery. It has been discussed daily ; in fact it is the only, the all-absorbing topic of discussion. Nigger! nigger nigger! is the'cry. We can commiserate the unfortu nate supporters of the party in their lamenta ble condition. No Tmurr.—On Wednesday last Wm. Big ler of Pennsylvania, succeeded in - having re considered the resolution of the Senate, post poning, the consideration of the tariff question until December next. Mr. Bigler allowed Thursday and Friday to pasrwithout taking any action in thamatter, and hence under the rules of the Senate' it will require special leave to con sider the matter, which now is not likely to be given. Mr. Bigler considered it .more impor tant to attend to Baltimore than the tariff. It may be taken for granted that there will be no revision of the tariff the present session. EMI EDWARD BATES AND THE PREMED/DIM—Hon. Edward Bates, of Missouri, President of the Baltimore Whig Convention, of 1856, whioh nominated Fillmore, has written a letter, ail nounoing his reasons for supporting the Re publican ticket for the Presidenoy. This is but one of the many evidences of the gradual concentration of the forces of the Opposition under the lead of Lincoln and Hamlin. Such will be the case in the Northern States, and indications point to a strong Republican Party in the State of Missouri. '3l 2} 10 Minh° Republicans of Westmoreland have nominated Edgar Cowan; Esq., for Congress, in place of Hon. John Covode, who refuses to give his name for another term. They have also nominated a full county ticket, and ex press confidence in being able to eleot it in that former Locofoco stronghold. Well done for the " Star of the West." EMI 1941 REJOICING OVER THE NOMINATIONS. -The newspaper accounts of the rejoicings over the two nominations at Baltimore, show that Breckenridge and Lane will lead Douglas and his ticket in Democratic support in tho South ern States, and will not fall far short in strength in the Northern States. TUE DIFFERENCE.—The two adverse wings of of the Democratic party which nominated two tickets at Baltimore are distinguished by name as follows : " The orie is called the National •Demooratio party and the other is known as the Democratic National Party." BRED KENRIDOE AND LANE IN Bucgs COUNTY —The Bucks County liitelligencer states, Alvit there will be about two thousand votes polled for BreOkenridge and Lane in Bucks county. ACCEPTION OP BRECKENRIDGE ♦ND LANE - Messrs. Breckenridge and Laue have signified their intention of accepting the nomination for the Presidency and Vice Presidency.

Hindman's': remarks; he desig nated the Convention held 'atMadison where the Douglas contestants were appoint ed, as a mass meeting,-and said that not more then one hundred and fifty persons were present,- and that; they were not all citizens of Arktuisaa. • In the , course of Mr. Hover's' reply, he pointed twice or thrice at Col:Aindnien with his fingere, and alluded to him as "that man," in a manner which Col. H. considered insult 4 ing,—and he struck or threw.the hand of Mr. Hamer away; as' it nearly touched his head. Hooper then proceeded to say that' "the statement made by that man respecting' the Madison meeting is &Ise, unqualifiedly false." Col. Hindman iminediately stepped in front of Mr. Hooper and struck him in the face a tol erably hard blow, and then stepped hack a little and drew a pistol from a pocket of his pante.. Mr. Hooper also prepared to draw the same weapon, but the friends of Col. • Hindman im mediately surrounded . him, and told hint he had gone far enough, preventing him from us ing the pistol., • - Col. Hindman subsequently apologized to the Committee , for the violence ho hid been ob liged to use, and Mr. Hooper gaie lut further indications of retaliation. •, . On Wednesday morning_ another personal 'difficulty occurred between Mr. Whiteley and Townsend, delegates ftom Delaware. The evening before the Committee on Credentials, language of an exciting personal character passed between Mr. Whitely, seceding dele gate and .Mr. Townsend, Douglas cOntestant from the same State. At 5 o'clock in' the morning, Mr. Whiteley entered the'Mitltby house i Where Mr. Town send Was stopping,, and weir a seat by the pas sage-way leading to the washing-room. About 5i o'clock; Mr, Townsend catne.down stairs into the office,, laid his cane on . the coun ter, and Was walking into The Wash-room hav ing to pass Mr. Whiteley on the way. Mr. Whiteley rose, and as Mr. Townsend. passed he struck- him a violent blow on the side of the head. Mr. Townsend was stag gored by the blow, but recovered himself im mediateliy, and, springing on Mr. Whiteley, seized him by the front of his shirt and neck tie, and ran him across the office. Both were very powerful men, and they kept striking rapidly at each other until -Mr. Whiteley fell; Mr. Townsend also falling over him. Mr. Townsend then shook Mr. Whiteley somewhat, and said, '• Sir, I want no difficulty withyou, and if you will promise to behave yourself"' and leave me alone, I will let you up." Mr. Whitely replied harshly to this, refusing to make any promise, and still keeping - up the struggle. The landlord of the hotel; who alone witnessed the encounter, called for as sistance, and the police entered and separated the parties. When Mr. Whitely rose, he immediately thrust his hand into his breast-pocket, as though feeling for something, when Mr. Town send said, " Be careful, he maybe armed." Mr. Whitely, a ft er feeling in his pocket, looked around him on the floor, when Mr. Town send saw Mr. Whitely's pistol lying near his feet. He instantly. secured it and placed it in hie-own pocket, saying " I will take care of this for the present." Mr. Whitely was then taken out of the house, and the affair for 'the time being terminated. On-Thursday, in the Convention the follow ing interesting scene was enacted: Mr. Montgomery of Pennsylvania, on a ques tion of privilege, desired to know where the delegates here were to get tickets of admission. He desired that the present mode be changed. Tickets were given to others than delegates, and he could not obtain his through a third party when it was known that he did not choose to hold any communication personally with the Chairman of the delegation. He asked that half of the tickets might be given to Mr. Cassidy of Pennsylvania for distribution, and half to the Chairman of the delegation. While Mr. Montgomery spoke, Mr. Randall of Pennsylvania approached as near him as possible, exclaiming in an excited voice, " It is false—it's a base falsehood." Mr. Montgomery (pointing to Mr. Randall) said : " Th 4 old man"— Loud criesof "Order," confusion, and much excitement. Mr. Montgomery, keeping the floor, ex claimed, " Am I to be protected against these insults?" Fifty delegates rose to their feet and crowd ed forward. One of Mr. Randall's eons gesticulated vio lently in dumb show, and struggled to ap proach Mr. Montgomery, who remained stand ing on the bench. After severatattempis to restore order, Mi. Dawson rose and said : Mr. President: If y ou will give me the floor I will get order. Laughter.] The noise then partia lly ceased: when Mr. Dawson said he had used every personal effort to distribute tickets to members. Mr: Mont gomery's ticket had been applied for by a boy, and he had not chosen to give it to any biit a delegate himself. [A voice, "That's right."] lie .therefore pronounced the insinuation of Mr. Montgomery as uncalled for and untrue in every particular. [Applause and confusion.] Mr. Montgomery rose in an excited manner, but his voice was drawned by uproarious cries of " order," and several persons endeavoring to address the chair. All the Pennsylvania delegation, and half the Convention,. were on their feet, endeavoring to crowd around Mr." Montgomery, who exclaimed, in a kiiid voice, " He lies—it ie a base lie ; and the man who utters it is " a lying scoundrel." • As soon as the adjour4knent took place, Mr. Dawson le ft the hall in company with his friends, Mr. Montgomery remaining behind. 'Mr. Ran dall also loft the hall accompanied by his son Robert. They proceeded down Gay street to the corner of Fayette, and were talking there when Mr. Montgomery approached, accompanied by a friend. Immediately Mr. Robert Randall saw him, he loft his father and confronting Mr. Montgomery, struck him a powerful blow between the eyes, staggering him back, . and covering his face with blood from the 'nose.— Mr. Montgomery recovered himself and struck Mr: Robert Randall on the ear, knocking him down, and was about to kick him, when a crowd surrounded and separated them. . Young Randall was not hurt, and proceeded up the street with his father, who displayed much excitement. Montgomery went into a house to wash the blood from his fade. Mont gomery is a large, heavy man, and Randall is small, and light built. .Some persons insist a that Moritgomery drew pistol, but this is not confirmed by any eye witness, and comes ftom Montgomery's opponents. The collision caus ed much excitement in the streets, which were During the confusion in the Convention, af ter Mr. Montgomery's remark 6 Mr. Randall, Goorge McHenry of Pennsylvania, at. the re quest of Robert E. Randall, went over to Mr. Montgomery's seat and said : " I have a mes sage for you; Mr. Randall, jr., desires to " know if' the remarks just made are intended " to apply to his father or Mr. Dawson." Mr. Montgomery replied: • "Tell Mr. Ran dall to go to h-11." Mr. ll:Mery said: " I conveyed the mes " sage, presuming you were a gentleman, but " now discover that you are not. I denounce "you es a low, vulgar fellow, not worthy of "notice. • If I had known you were a black "guard I should not have conveyed the mes . 4 ug9. ,, Bon.

A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT.—The - heavens presented a g'and eight about sundown, on Tuesday evening a weok. A splendid rain bow appeared in the east, while in the west the sun, as it went down threw a red light over the dark clouds above it that was mag nificent to behold. The skies of Italy neYer presented anything grander or more beautiful than the scene that was witnessed here on Tuesday evening a week. THE GRAPE CROP.—We learn that the grape vines in many localities are becoming seriously injured by the ravages of a small black caterpillar, that has made its appearance within a few days past. Where a vine is at tacked by these insects, and they aro left in undisturbed possession of their prey, the crop will certainly be blasted. The only remedy against these destroyers, a horticultural friend informs us, is a strong decoction of tobacco, or tobacco dem i apelied occasionally to the leaves with a garden syringe. PATENT.—A patent has recently been it= sued to A. H. Rauoh, of Bethlehem, Pa., for improved devices for drilling water from, and supplying air to, the air vessels of pumps, Ica. Thiwnvention consists in a novel and simple deviire whereby the air vessel of a pump may, while the pump is in operation, have a portion of its water exchanged for an equid . Voluiiiel of air at'atmospherio pressure as often as water has, by absorption or compression of the air, arrived at too high a level in the air vessel.— The same device is also applicable, in the same manner, for a similar purpose to hydrauliii rams,. or any other hydraulic apparatus in whiohr au. air vessel may be used:=Easton Express: • 'I4IOIMR - BRITISH •RELYIR*I4 I ThoiI- 3 - •.,.., num 'her has been reprinted . 17140=4 . - . • • ' 4 Co., New YorL 140ot:dente artio44l, rotas: •Redding's .

TO PREVEDTT.DOGS WING MAD.—An exchange gives the followingreoeipt to prevent dogs going mad: "Mix a small, portion ofthe flour of sulphur with their food or drink, dur ing the sprinLmonths. This is_praoticed in Europe to prikent the disease - from breaking out among the'packs of hounds which belong to the English-poblemeri, - and is'said to be a certain preventative." -We would suggest, in. order to leave a "sure thing" on the dogs, the admixture of a quantity of strychnine with the above. ANEW COTTON MILL IN BEADING.— Messrs. Garner & Co., the recent, purchasers and present proprietors of the Reading Cotton Mill, are making arrangements to build a new mill, adjoining the old one.

PROFANE SWEARING.—The Revised Pe nal Code, passed last winter, makes all per sons, who speak loosely or profanely of God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, or the Bible, liable to an indictment for blasphemy, the penalty for which is a fine, not exceeding one hundred dollars, or both, at the discretion of the Court. Persons, in the habit of swearing, had better be careful, as•no officer, who, regards his oath• of office, can avoid returning to Court all per sone, who are guilty of offence as above spec fied. PETERSON'S MAGAZlNE.—commences a riew volume with the July number; a good time to subscribe. The first Mezzotintengrave ing is very beautiful, also many of its pattern and designs. "Aunt Betsey's Bonnet" is a good story, as are all the rest. Besides the great amount of superficial matter, there is published in it an original cook book, which is very valuable to houskeepers. We think it fully equal to Godey, in every respect, notwith standing the low terms of $2 per year. Address Charles J. Peterson, 306 Chesnut street, Phila. delbhia. ACCIDENT.—OharIes Harris, of rn Bothle- ho , met with a fearful accident, on the Lo• high Valley Railroad, on Monday morning last, near the Allentown Ifiynage:Mr...Harris i was standing between the coal oars and upon their uncoupling fell etween the cars.

The sta ble had been unfrequented for some time, and it is supposed, from the appearance of the body, when found, that Sharkey mustbave been dead vseek already. Au inquest, was held over the body by Deputy Coroner Newhard, and the body taken to the Poor House for inter ment. BIERDER.—John Warren, an Irishman working on the Allentown Railroad, killed an old crippled Irishwoman, who walked on crut ches and who came to his shanty, on Saturday at about two o' clock.

Warren was arrested,, and lodged in the Berks county prison to await his trial. THE FOURTII.—We are sorry to .inform our readers, that there will be no public cele bration of the Fourth, in our Borough. The Borough Authorities refused to appropriate any of the public funds toward the celebration and there was too much indifference among our citizens generally upon the subject to war rant a Committee assuming the entire burden of making the necessary arrangements. Those of our citizens,' who wish to see the Fourth celebrated, can go abroad, and such, as are in different to the matter, can smother patriotic recollection and emotions. SIGNOR BLITZ. By advertisement in another column it will be seen, that . the world renowned Signor Blitz .will give four of his humorous entertainments in Odd Follows' Hall, on the afternoon and °Toning of Thursday and Friday, the 28th and 29th inst.

Mr. Weaver, of Kmius, to which reference ' was bad, in ttet Week's Repiater, was brouglp to town and safely lodged in jail. ' Johnson is a man, about forty years of lige, and rather ef a cunning expression of countenance. It is reported that he, with a party of Gypeneti, call ed at the house of Mr. Weaver, an old bachelor, who has been ailing for some time, and offered - - , to cure him, if he could deposit sloo . under a certain stone. The money was not at hand, but $9O was finally decided to be sufficient, the amount which Mr. Weaver had with him: four twenty dollar bills, of the Allentowaßauk and ten dollars in silver. The Money was found afterwards to be missing and the pre tended Doctor had made his escape. On the night of his escape it rained and.he was partlY traced by the traces of his wagon in the road. On Wednesday morning last, ha was fonntl. near Riegelsville, by Samuel Dankle, Constable of Emaus Borough, who had bin' brought be , fore Samuel Kemmerer, Esq., of Upper Mil.' ford, who, after the hearing, ordered a commit ment. Three of the twenty dollar billa,weie still found in his possession, together with some other money. It would appear, that one of the twenty dollar bills had been changed. The trial of Johnson will come, off in August.. A GOOD APPEARANCE.--The best possi ble style of dress and manner is that -.which pleases without attracting any particular atten tion. The highest complimemt you can`pai to the dress 01 a lady or gentlemen , is, not to remember what it was—only that 'they - were well and appropriately dressed. 'Even elegance, grace, and beauty become offensive the moment they are in exec's. We see 'p eople overdressed, But • over-elegant, over-polite. it is'not worse to err in the other extreme? The lady who was going up the aisle of a church to be mar ried, but turned arid walked off withbut we ting for the ceremony, because her inul*d elect had dirty shoes, was probably rightrTA man who could treat his wife with disrespect,' rudeness' and indecency then, was not MAY to make a good husdand. People who wear long' uncombed hair,' terrible beards, broad. shirt collars and clothing made up in eccentrio fashions, have a screvs,loose somewhere. We wisdom by a decentoonformity to social. customs. A pleasing external- apparatuses is • not only a matter ofself interest, but benevolence. Ilow can we better contribute to the happiness of our friends than by making them glad to - see us? It is - only excess of neatness or display that is dandyism in a man, and coquetry, per haps, in a woman.. GAME LAWS.—Now that , the time for popping away at the few Woodcocks that re main in our marshes, is drawing near, our gunners are all in a flurry of.excitement tobe • at them, and the war of extermination will commence so soon as the law allows. But here is"the hitch. There have been so =any game laws published that we have become confused, and it is now hard to tell when the season commences. We hear certain' parties speak of violations of the game law • but for some reason best known to themse lves, they refuse to make the proper information that would lead to the detection and - prosecution of. - the depredators. It should belt:wee in mind that certain kinds of game callhot be killed at . this season of the year, and altlioag t h no tine - sportsman needs compulskiii to aid him in complying with the law, yet:means have been. resorted to which will have a tendency to car ry out its provisions to thefull extent. It is - that highly essential for 'the preservation of game that it should be allowed to propagate, add if promlsouous_sliooters are allowed to range at large during , 'the breeding season, there is but little chande for a prolonged °xis- . tense of our game.
