Manslaughter.—Ye-teriay, about half

while proceeding homewards, stopped fur
a moment, on Bayou street, when he was
unexpectedly arrested by a man named
Vilain, who approached him with the re
mark. "well here you are, you are the
man I have been seeking," and seized him
by the collar with one band, struck him
with the other. Rouseau drew a pistol
and disengaging himself for the moment,
succeeded in discharging it at his antag
onist, who fell mortally wounded, and ex
pired, while threatening Rouseau with fu.

himself up to the offuers of justice, and

Emigration Anectlute.
The following interesting narrative, so fraught
wi . h romance, wecopy froin Niles' Register ~r
October 18, 1817, credi!ed to the Raleigh Register.
'A person who had in ide ene:iderable fortune

ty before the fall election. The question
was finally settled by an almost unanimous
vote in favor of receiving the report, and
a committee was appointed to hold con
sultation with the abolitionists.
The Convention then proceeded with
the balloting for merthbers of the Legisla
ture. The first ballot resulted in the
nomination of Messrs, Hultz, Sheridan and
Cassat. The Cony ention then adjourned
for one hour, until the committee could
return from their abolition allies with fur
ther instructions touching the balance• of
the ticket.
The Convention assembled at half past
3, and filled up the Assembly ticket by
by the nomination of J J Muse. The ab•
olition committee then appeared arid pre
vented their instructions, which were in
sabstance, a command to the anti-masons
to rescind all the nominations for the Leg
islature, except Mr. Cassat, and choose
the candidates from a list which the Corn
mittee read to the Convention. This im
pudent demand created considerable con
sternation among the blue noses, but they
were too far committed with the abolition
ists to break off suddenly. and the best
mode they could adopt at the moment to
settle the difficulty, was to appoint a com
mittee of conference. This was dori.,
but at th- time we left the Hall, the com
mittee hail not returned, from which we
infer that the abolitionists stubbornly ad
hered to their position.
The Convention then proceeded to the
nomination of County officers which resul
ted in the following nominations.
For Sheriff, Geo. S. Hays, on the first
ballot.
THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1843
see First Page.
Secretaries
Mr J S Thompson, a delegate from Pitt
township, presented a preamble and resos
lotions from the meeting by which he was
appointed, instructing him to move an ad
journment of the "Blue Nose" Conven
tion, to meet again with the Whig Conven
tion on the 7th inst. The resolutions de
nounced .11fred Sutton, Esq., in the
strongest terms, and required the delegates
of Pitt to withdt aw from the Convention, if
their propositions were not approved of.
Mr F Karns moved that, as the lans
guage was indecorous, &c., the resolutions
be not received by the Convention. This
motion he afterwards withdrew. Mr Mc-
Masters, from the third Werd, then tead
a set of well written resolutions, which he
wished to propose as a substitute for those
from Pitt township. They talked tat tly
at the Cla) Whigs, and did not afford much
encouragement to political abolitionism.—
Mr Mc., however, was induced to with•
draw them, to make way for a renewal of
Mr barn's motion by Mr Errett, that the
first resolutions be not received, which was
agreed to without a dissenting voice. So
the "blue noses" unanimously declined to
denounce Mt Sutton, or to go into conven
tion with the Whigs. The Pitt delegates
then rose to retire, in accordance with their
instructions. 3ut they wera not let oft so
easily. Mr Errett moved that they have
leave to withdraw, (a virtual expulsion) and
his motion was unanimlusly carried.
A delegate from Allegheny (Mr Caroth.
ers, we believe) then moved a preamble
and r.iso'ut ions reiterating the Antislavery
opinions adopted by the Antimasonic "Or
ganization" Convention, which met on the
29th March last. and declaring that n o
man should be put in nomination unless he
was an avowed Anti-slavery man. This
attempt to hand over Atititnasonry to Ab
olitionism, to be swallowed at a single gulp,
created some squirming. Mr McMasters
moved to lay the resolutions on the table.
A division was called for and the vote re.
potted -22 yeas-23 nays. The mover
then consented to withdraw his resolutions:
thus voluntarily coiling up the Abolition
cahle-tow just at the moment it was about
to be fastened on the whole Antimasonic
party, on condition that the members nom
inating candidates should vouch for their
antimasonry, and their opposition to slave
ry. This was agreed to, and then every
nominator went through the farce of vouch
, i,,, r1 , 71 t his favorite was "opposed to els.
very." This could be said of every voter
in the county, but we quration if it will sat
isfy the Abolitionists. They missed a fig.
ure in letting the "blue , noses" slip oat of
, the cunning trap set in Carothers' resolu.
These little preliminaries being settled,
they proceeded to nominate a candidate
f,r Con2r , ss. The names of Neville B
Iltrrner Denny. and Walter
word were gubmitted. Craig had 31 votes,
and was declared rvoninated —Forward
had 12, and Donny. 11 votes , The politi.
cal character and history of this nominee
is well kn iwn; we shall not enlarge on it
here, but merely express the hope that
there is salt enough yet in Allegheny coun
ty to pickle him handsomely, and effectual ,
ty cure him of his propensity to go to Con
gress—when he will be kept for borne
consumption.
The Convention then proceeded to nom.
inate candidates for the Legislature, but
before thoy had got done balloting,a C cm
mittee from the Abolition Convention, con_
sisting of Mr Lorimer, Mr Caskey and Mr
--, was introduced, who asked per
mission to make a communication to their
blue nosed brethren. Leave was granted,
and the chairman presented a report from
the Abolitionists, stating that they were
much gratified to understand that the an.
timasons were willing to form a union
with the Abolitionists, and that they would
nr..sent to the convention a lists of names
from which the blue noses might select a
ticket, and the abolitionists would then Et- ,
gree to support it. Mr MeMasters moved
to lay the report on'the table; he wag op
posed to any such union; it -would defeat
the antimasonic party. Abolition was a
moral question, to be discussed by the
I.press and pulpit, and—by inference—nor

Much interest was fell on the nomina
tion of candidates for Prothontoary and
commissioner, avid the Convention had to
ballot a great many times before they
could make r choice.
By the way, we have never seen a bet•
ter chairman than the one who presided
over this "blue nose" convention, Ile was
&relent, prompt, and impartial, and seem •
ed to understand his business well. Such
an officer assists amazingly the progress of
business in meetings or conventions, and
Mr McCurdy's example is worthy the at.
tention of those who aspire to he chairmen
of deliberative bodies. It is but justice to
say that he was assisted by competent Sec
, retaries.
