CFor Latest News, see Postscript, on second
age.
A full4eport of the proceedings of the Demo
cratic Contention will be found in the Post of this
morning.; The candidates plaied in nomination
by the COnvention are all active and efficient Dem
ocrats, and we doubt not the ticket—the whole
receiye the cordial and united support
of the Democracy of the county. We do not deem
it necessary to speak of them individually—they
are all well known to the Democracy of Alleghe
ny as good men and eminently qualified for the
places which they are to.fill, if elected.
The Democracy have now an eilellent ticket
."I, t , presented, for their support at the approaching eke
.
tion, atia me hope they will at once organize for
the conteat, and never relax in their exertions un
til their efforts are crowned with complete suc
cess.
a :?. The editor of the Gazette says that we hare
been defending Mr. Rowi.sr. This is untrue.—
We havereferred to the course of the Gazette to-
ward Mr:. RowLmr merely for the purpose of point
ing out the gross inconsistencies of its editor.—
TheillitOr of the Gazette, it is well known, in 1844.
supported Mr. CLAY, a high adhering Mason for
theTresidency, and only last year warmly advoca
ted the election of Mr. Baaczesrtroaa, another
high adhering Mason. We say the editor of the
Gazette, the organ'of the Atn-masonic par! y, warm
ly advocated the election of the high adhering Ma.
;sons aboe named, • and we as warmly opposed
them.
. .
Mr. HAstrroy, a Mason, now heads the Anti•
kniasonic ticket. The editor of the Gazette, a short
l i time since admitted that Mr. Hampton was a ma
ion, but said. that he bad some years ago publicly
renounced the . order. The editor, however, has giv
en the public no evidence that Mr. H. ever renoun
ced masonry, anti the fact is doubted by many. We
have called upon the editor again and again to pub
lish the evidence, but as yet he has neglected to do
•
so. Why is the editor silent on the subject?
Lion and the statement of J. H. D6TOBD, Esq., that
the honest and sincere portion of the Anti-Mason

be seen whether they will willingly sacrifice prin.

Mn. Ihotcn:—l have seen several articles in
the Post recently remarking upon Mr. Hampton - 8
connection with the order of Free Masonry. The
following statement of J. H. Dcroan, Esq., late
:Secretary of Laurel Lodge, No. 215, is clear and
explicit. and I hope you will give it and this brief,
note an early insertion in your paper.
It appears from the books of Laurel Ledge, No.
215, of which I was Secretary, and which did not
surrender its charter, but only suspended operations
in consequence of Antimasonry, and having no
house of our own, that MOSES HAMPTON was its
first Secretary, in 1S 26; when it was first organi
zed—that afterwards in Fecember of the same
year he was elected a Junior Warden, and acted
in that capacity until he removed from this to Som
erset county, and further, there is still due the Lodge
from Mr. Hampton three dollars as appears by the
books. J. H. DEFORD, Seey.
DIit•DFICL ACCIDENT AT RocursrErt, N. Y.—
A correspondent of the New York News, writing
from Rechester, says, thist on Friday a heavy storm
of rain, accompanied by a hurricane, visited Ro
chester. A school house on Parker street was de.
priced of its roof, and the brick gable and chimney
were driven into the female department.
The department contained about 100 children,
and the brick and timbers fell in all parts of the
school, injuring more or less nearly all the chil
dren, but killing none.
The whole number of children reported to be
badly injured is 34, all but three or four of whom
it is supposed will recover.
- The boys' department was uninjured except in
the roof, and in about two feet square of the ceil
ing was broken through by the timbers and bricks.
Masses of the loot' weie carried 200 yards,
and the heaviest portions 20 or 30 feet. We
should think that the building was slightly put up.
Many trees in the vicinity were blown down.—
The storm produced some damage in other respects.
The rain fell in torrents, and nearly filled up many
of :the cellars on Main and Bunk) streets. Many
fruit trees were blown down, and two or three un
finished buildings were partly demolished. Many
Of the posts of the telegraph were blown down,
and the line was not in operation the remainder of
the day. Ten sheep, belonging to Mr. Hoyt, on
the farm of Oliver Culver, in Irondequoit, were
killethduring the storm.

TZTAS SALT.—The Houston Telegraph says
that tiit ibetion of country lying west of the. Neu-
clear-bordering on the sea coast, is intersected by
• numerons`shallow inlets and bays, into which the
salt water of the Gulf flows during winter, but
in summer, owing to intense solar evaporation,
they become "dry. and are covered with a crust of
salt three or four inches thick, equal in every re
spect to Turk's Island, which is the best for pre
serving meat and fish. The dry climate of wes
tern, Texas—rain seldom falling in the summer
rrionths—makes the process of evaporation ex
ceedingly rapid, and millions of bushels may be
procured for the mere trouble of collecting it.

a salt tale of destitution. A mother and her two

STATEMENT OF J. H. DEFORD, ESQ.
UNI ONTO WN, June 22, 1846
num.—The "Pilgrim House" at Plymouth,
Mass., kept by Mr Joseph White, wasdesttoyedby
fire on Saturday morning. Loss $3,400, insured.
The dwelling house of Mr. Isaac Hudson, in
Bridgewater, Mass., and the. Railroad Depot at
Stoughton, Mass., were consumed on Friday night
-The loss by the burning of the depot is $7OOO, par
tially; insured.
The paper mill of Messrs. Vinton & Bond, at
Pepperel, Mass., was also destroyed by fire on -the
17th inst. Loss $25,000, insured for $13,000.
cO-Two houses in the vicinity of Boston were ,
struck by lightning during a thunder storm on
Friday morning last. The escape from death in
one of the cases was remarkable. This fluid pas
sed through a window of the chamber in which a
gentlemen, his lady and three chrildren were sleep
ing, stripped the window of its finishing inside and
out, and then descended through the floor to a
room below. The fluid passed within eighteen
inches of the bed, which was covered with broken
glass, strips of wood, plastering, &c.
Nanno Se/11110E IN CONNECTICIT.—The Con
necticut house of representatives, by a vole of 111
to 63, have voted to submit to the people the ques
tion of so amending the constitution as to abolish
all distinction of color in respect to privilege of
voting. Scarcely any of the members expressed
themselves favorable to the proposed amendment,
but a majority. were willing to submit the ques
tion to the people.
The St. Louis Reporter of the 17th inst. is dres
sed in mourning, for the death of the editor, SHAD
n ACH P.ms, jr. Fora number of years Mr. Pess
has been connected with the leading Democratic
Journals of the West. As a political writer he
ranked among the first in the Union, but as all
mankind sooner or later must do, he has paid the
debt of nature—"has been gathered to his fathers.'"
He leaves a widow and several children to mourn
his loss.
SERVED nix atone.—A young whiskerando on
the Battery, New York, insulted a young lady who
was walking with her father. The old gentleman
applied his cane very liberally to the back of Mr.
Mustachois, to the great amusement of a number
of persons, who were promenading on the Battery
at the time.
A TAlLon.—Park Benjamin perpetrated the
following good joke. He says that the Mexicans
thought Taylor a good workman, and a large num
ber of them gave him a trial. They found him in.
dustrious enough, and pretty good at ratting, whip
ping and felling, but they couldn t stand his charg
ing.
SVICIDE.-A young man named Stilwell, from
Morris co., jumped overboard from one of the
Catharine street ferry boats, New York, on Tues
day afternoon, and although prompt means were
used to recover the body, life was extinct before
they succeeded.
LIGHTNING OS. LIGHTNING.—The telegraph,
says the N. Y. news, cannot be worked during a
thunder storm. On Friday crowds of anxious
correspondents were disappointed by the freaks
of the lightening which accompanied a heavy fall
of rain.
Votr:vrcr.ns.—All the Southern cities are filled
with volunteers, and present, we should think, a
very warlike appearance. The formation of com
panies continues without abatement. The only
trouble seems to be the fear that they cannot all be
received into service.
I. 0. oy 0. F.—The Odd Fellows celebration at
Palmyra. N. Y. on the rth inst. is 'laid to have
been a splendid affair, tent gave satisfaction . to all
concerned in it. The Or.tion was delivered by
Mr. Maffit.

Mn. EDIT011:-My attention was called to an
article in the Ainerican of yesterday, in which the
"Greasy Editor - makes public a circumstance re
lating to some strange vtsitors from "Green Co."
stopping at the "St. Charles." The°Sheepish•' ed
itor should have been aware that his unprovoked
attack upon those innocent persons would injure
the respectable Hotel much more than the persons
he designed to malign. Why did he not give the
whole truth in relation to the circumstances?
Those persons arrived late in the evening, and
being recommended to stop at the "St. Charles"
did so; but were informed by the barkeeper that
their single rooms 'were all occupied, but that a
large room having three beds unoccupied was at
their service. They being relations and members
of the same family conceived 1: no impropriety
whatever, to go into one room, and ruther than
seek in a strange city another lodging place] con
sented to the proposition of the double faced Itbar
keeper."
But this "mutton" editor seeks to please the mor
bid ill-nature of his "Bachelor keeper," by coupling
this circumstance with the "sheepskin brethren as
he pleases to call them. But we folks up in Green

stances the enemies of our party derive any hope,
I Wish it to be fully understood, that nothing has
occurred to disturb our personal harmony, and that
nothing can occur that will prevent me and ni2,
friends from according to him, our most active sup

private friendship or public esteem, and I have no
doubt he will receive the unanimous support of the
party if placed in nomination. In order to prevent
useless collision in the Convention, I beg leave to
withdraw my name from the canvass, and trust
that my friends in the Convention will feel the ne

Dr.Ln n• —I understand that, not having been

delegates will come into the Convention. instruc

that this matter was proposed to me some two or
three mouths ago—and that from that time to the
present, I have uniformly , declined being a candi
date. My esteemed friends—the talented and dis
tinguished gentlemen, whose names have been
most prominent in connection with this subject—
have also been aware of my determination. If I
ever hid a desire to go to Congress, I would not
consent that any humble pretensions of mine should
come into competition with their claims.
Allow me to express to the delegates above

grateful acknowledgements fur this voluntary proof
of their confidence—and at the same time to re

Be goOd enough to add that. although precluded

LETTER OF THOMAS DONNELLY, Esq
PITT/31111110H, June 24th, 1836.
To the Dentorratic Convention.
GENTLEMEN:—IIaving been informed that my
name will be brought before the Convention this
day, for a nomination for the Legislature, I beg
leave to say, that the circumstances under which
I am placed, renders it out of my power to com
ply with the wishes of my friends in that particu
lar. In thus declining a nomination, I deem it my
duty to express my thanks to the party, for the al
most unanimous nomination, which it was pleas
ed to confer on me, by its Convention of last year,
and the undivided.support which I received through
the ballot box, This is extremely gratifying to
to me, when I,:leifte,ct on the extraordinary eflbrts
which were Irtikle-against me by bigots and intol

religious nailing the test 'by which political pref

credit for their endeavoni to persecute n particu

modern stile, or according to what- they may con
ceive to be the most approved plan: I look upon the
support which I recd from the party, under the cir
cumstances, as an other evidence that the Democ
racy of old Allegheny, will stamp with the seal
of disapprobation, all attempts to create distinc

and at war with the most cherished principles of,
our glorious constitution. ! Although we were not

Robtcrt porter, in behalf of the Committee ap

Rentived, That this . Convention is pledged to
support and advatiVe the Democratic ticket, and
use all honorable means to secure its election.
Resolerd, That the war with Mexico is a just
one, and entitled to our devotion and fidelity; and
that it is the duty, of the National Govecpment, to
prosecute an invasion of :Mexico, until Ringgold
and Brown, together with all who fell in de:ence of
the country, are fully avenged, and the crueltiesof
an insolent and barbarous enemy punished as
they deice e.
Pesolced, That this Cons ention fully sustains the
principles of protection as set forth by the Balti
more Convention, and reiterated by Jas. K. PoLK
and the Democratic party throughout the Union
during the campaign of 1544, that is,
fair and - just protection to all the great interests of
the whole Union. embracing agriculture, manufac
tures, the mechanic arts, commerce and naviga•
Lion.
Respired, That the administration of the Gen
eral Government is conducted to the satisfaction of
the American people, full of honesty.
Rrsokrd, 'flat our excellent Governor, En Axe is
R. SHUN , is entitled to the love of every true
Democrat, having shown himself in all things pure,
unwavering and honest.
Resolved, That we are admonished by duty and
policy, of the immediate necessity of adopting
some feasible and permanent plan for the gradual
liquidation of the State debt.
Rewired, That the republican measure of grant
ing a certain number of arres of the public lands
(now unoccupied) to actual settlers, is strictly a
Democratic measure, and ought to be adopted and
sustained by the Democratic party
Resolved, That the state of Pennsylvania ought
not to be out-rivalled in the came of philantlina
phy by the monarchies of Europe, and that there
ought, therefore, to be some provision made by our
Legislature for the protection and education of all
children under a certain age employed in cotton
factories:
Resolved, That the 6th regiment of volunteers
in this county, and all others who have volun
teered in defence of the American Flag, should
be remembered with esteem and affection by every
true lover of his country.
Resolved, That the members of this Convention
prOtest against the system of mechanical labor as
carried on in our Penitentiaries, which is destruc
tive to the best interests of a large proportion of
our honest end industrious citizens.
The above resolutions on motion were unani
mously adopted.
The following resolution yeas offered by Mr.
Irwin, of the Second ward, Pittsburgh. It was ad
vocated by the mover, Porter, Sawyer, and others,
and opposed by Messrs. Burrell and Watson. The
resolution was adopted :
Resolved, That our title to the whole of Oregon
is clear and indisputable and should be defended
at every risk so long as the American Flag can
protect the American people. Our fathers denied
tribute to England. Their sons will not give to
tyrants the territory of freemen. •

MEDIATION
There is some excitement and, uneasiness in the
English prints about our war with Mexico. It is
even said in Willmer and Smith's Times that "in
the monetary circles of the city, it is whispered
that the American has claimed the intervention of
the British gOverhment to settle the dispute with
Mexico. The fact may be so; but we cannot cred
it it. It bears improbability on its front." So
says the European Times, and it says truly. It is
astonishing how any man of sense should propa
gate or believe such an absurdity. We can take
care of ourselves in our relation with Mexico,
without asking the slightest intervention from
England or from any other power. The London
Morning Herald gives rather a different version of
the matter, and says the British ministers have de
termined to of their mediation, &c. An effort
has certainly been made to enlist them in the cause;
for we have before us a letter from Mr. Powels,
the chairman of the committee of the South A.
and Mexican Association, addressed to
Lord Aberdeen, on the 2d June, depreciating our
causes of complaint against Mexico, stating that
"there is no cause of rupture between the two par
ties, but such as a friendly and respectful interpo
sition of good offices might remove,'and praying
his lordship to interpose between us. Without
pretending to go into the argument at this time,
in order to show that Mr. Powels and the commit
tee have decided the question without due consid
eration, we may very well doubt the utility of this
interposition, so far as relates to the United States.
We certainly do not ask her mediation. There
are strong reasons, indeed, to doubt the correct
ness of the statement in the London Standard al
together. At least, we hear no confirmation of it
inWashington.—Wwihington Union.
