The Opposition have at length opened the ball and regularly inaugurated the campaign for '5B. As we stated yesterday, recreants to the Democratic party found more favor with this odds•and-end Convenlion than the old liners, who were given to understand their faces wouldn't suit. This unkind behavior towards men who have labored a lifetime in opposition to the Democracy will be fearfully visited npcn the ticket this fall, as it should be and. always has been, svhere Mere policy instead Of principle regulates conduct. The antecedents of Messrs. Read and Fra zier are well known, and will be properly ap preciated at the polls. The geographical di vision of the ticket is very good, both" parties having selected candidates for Supreme Judge from Philadelphia, Fayette county claiming '"both candidates for Canal Commissioner.

There • were present from fifteen hundred to two thousand persons, friends of the institution, and relatives and friends of the students, to witness the interesting ceremonies, Some twenty clergyman were also present from va rious parts of the State, amongst them Very Rev. E. M'Mahon, Revs. Reynolds, Ferran, and Ryan, of this city. Prominent amongst the students who took part in the exercises were James and Francis M'Devitt, J. Keating, Ben and Frank Jones, and Syl. Cosgrave, of this city. About two hundred dollars ,worth of appropriate books were distributed by the institution through Very Rev. E. M'Mahon, and Rev. Pcillird, of Loretto, to the students. The . character of the whole performance was in every way highly creditable to the fac-. ulty and, students. The valedictory, especi- ally,. commanded our admiration. It was in matter. and manlier most happily conceived and deliveied by Thomas Walsh, of Lines,. ville, Pa. St-. Francis Academy is most ex_ cellently situated for educational purposes, and while the mind is under the, skillful gui dance of the teachers, the advantages of pure, mountain air, promote the physical develop ment of the students. uperabnadant Harvest. The Richmond South warns its readers against the arts of speculators in commercial cities, who give glowing accounts of abund ant harveig; so that the market shall open a a low prie, an who when they have once the control of the market, run the prices up to a high rate. It says from no quarter are there authentic reports of even an average crop, and the wheat crop of Virginia is not within eighty per cent. of the usual produc tion. The . South., speaking for the agricultu ral interest, doubtless , exaggerates on that side as much as the speculators of the East ern cities do on the other. The exchange papers we receive froin the agricultural re gions speak well of the crops. But the last eight or ten yea- r4s experience proves that we have no - such superabundance of harvests as to enable us to feed the world, an idea which seems a favorite one with public orators when . expatiating on the growth and reis Kirces of the country. In fact eve have found it as much as we could do to feed ourselves, - and the prices of food ran up inordinately. The same general cause which inflated prices help. ed to produce scarcity, for it directed labor from agriculture to speculative adventure, or to building railroads, which largely increased consumption, while it diminished the usual production. The trtubles of last year have driven labor back to trie soil, and as the sea son so far has been propitious, we may ex pect an average crop at least, if we have no astonishing superabundance. The Law at Libel. A very interesting libel case has just been tried at Poughkeepsie, N. Y. The - editor of Ithe Telegraph criticised very severely a Fourth of July:orator, who had delivered, according to 'his report, "a mean and contemptible abo lition harangue." For this and for other un flattering comments, the editor, being sued, was cast in a verdict of $4 1 50. This was re versed by the full bench, and a new trial granted. On this - second hearing, Judge Brown, in a ,very able and elaborate charge, instructed the Jury that the right of editors of public journals to criticise either prined publications or extemporaneous speeches was Clear, and must be sustained by the courts; that it was necessary, in order to correct pub lic sentiment ; that in doing this, the editor had no right to attack the personal or private ohs:Reid. of the author or speaker, and that, in so far as the article in question was an at titik upon the plaintiff(personally, and not a criticism on hii speecb, it was libellous.— The Judge, at the same time, told the jury that they were the exclusive judges of wheth er or no the article, as a whole, was a libel, and, if so, what damage the plaintiff sustained by its publication. The case excited great attention in the lo cality where the trial was held, and the jury" after a trial of three days and an absence of three hours, found a verdict for the plaintiff for three cente. The New Cathella Cathedral. Archbishop Hughes contemplates erecting - new , ,,cathedral on Fifth avenue, New York, which is designed to be a structure of extraor dinary magnificence, the grandest specimen, of ecclesiastical architecture on this continent..

JULY 16, 1858 PROCEEDINGS OF THE UNION STATE CONVENTION. Reported Fxpressly for the Daily Post This body assembled in the Hall of the House of Representatives, at Harrisburg, at 2 o'clock on Wednesday, July 14th. The morning had been spent in "fixing things,' , and the hotels were well crowded with poli% ticians, delegates and country editors. Simon Cameron, T4adous Stevens, D. Paul Brown, Wm. Meredith, and many other politiciane were busy about. The Convention was called to order by David Taggart, of Northumberland,who nomi- nated lion. Wm. Jessup, of Susquehanna, as temporary Chairman. lion. Francis Gordan, of Bedford, was chosen one of the Secreta ries, and R. Errett, of Allegheny, another, whereupon, Thomas Wilson, or Allegheny, objected, alleging that Mr. Errett's seat would be contested, and, at his own request, Mr. Errett was excused. Messrs. James Jones, of Lycoming, was appointed in his place. A committee of seven on credentials was appointed. The list of delegates was then called, dur ing which, Thomas F. Wilson esverai times attempted to address the Chair without effect. Mr. Purvianoe moved that a committee of one from each Senatorial District be appoint ed by the District delegation as a committee on permanent organization. The Convention then took a recess of fifteen minutes. The Convention was very fully -at .. tended. The delegates from Allegheny county were, for the Senatorial District, Thos. M. Marshall and Robert McKnight. The 'Representative delegates were, John H. Ha / t‘pton, C. B. M. Smith, Russell Errett,_Georke R. Riddle and David R. Kuhn. The Committee on Credentials reported in favor of the delegates appointed by the Repub lican Convention in Allegheny, and adverse to those chosen by the PeoPke's Convention, so Messrs. Thomas F. Wilsos, , Alex. Callowi L. 0. Cameron, J. H. Irwin Od GITI.: Suth erland, who were present, loblcad mad, and left with the evident determination of doing something desperate. After the recess, the Committee to appoint permanent officers, after an hour and a half's -wrangle, were said to have agreed upon ft t , cers, and a motion was made that a Commit - . tee of three be appointed to request the other ,Committee to report. It appears' that the vaN rious isms represented in the Gonvention clashed on the question of who should be President. Many were in favor of Ex-Gov rernor Reeder, but. others thought he was "too recent an acquisition to the party".to answer the purpose. The "Anti-' •eders", had, however, to give in, and the tee finally repoFted the following perman• : offi cers President—A. 11. Reeder, of Northampton Vice Presidents and S4cretaries to the number of fifty or sixty were also appointed from different portions of the State. Gov. Reeder, upon taking the chair, made a "spread eagle," speech, and at half past 4 o'clock the Convention was organized nd ready to proceed to business. The following ballotings were then made for SUPREME JUDGE. I. 11. 111. IV. Oswald Thompson,-Phila 24 25 21 13 Johh J. Pearson, Dauphin 13 19 29 36 George Taylor, Huntingdon...ll 8 withdrawn. John M.

Daniel Agnew, bitterly attacking the present administration, was read and his name was withdrawn. After the eighth ballot a motion was made to adjourn and lost, and also a resolution to ape point a Committee on Resolutions which was ruled out of order and the balloting pro ceeded. After the ninth ballot, which took place at half past six o'clock, a motion was made to adjourn, upon which the yeas and nays were called and the motion was carried by a vote of yeas 65, nays 60. Adjourned till eight o'clock. EVENING SESSION. A solution-wasA offered that a committee of thirteen be appointed to report resolutions. Seireral amendments were proposed, when LemkTodd addressed the convention against the resolution. He thought so many and such diverse views were represented in this Con vection that the Committee should at least consist of one from each Senatorial District. Judge , Jewett thought it would be impossi ble to go into all the minutim of little differ-. ences which existed, they should adopt some great, broad principles upon which they could all agree. Mr. Williamson, of Huntingdon, thought they should go before the people on a tariff resolution, and' Anti-Lecompton resolu tion alone. They' had come here to trample on minor points and to unite the antagonisti cal elements of the Opposition. He was for having a party which had; neither head nor tail any where else than in the United States: He was for taking and having a wide expres sion of sentiment, but all that was necessary was to pass a resolution to give work to the laboring man. He was in favor of ,a Com mittee of the largest kind. The resolution was amended by making the Committee consist of ono from each Sen atorial District to be selected by the delegates front the districts, as a Committee on Re_salu tons. 1( ) It was resolved that all resolutions expres sive of principles be referred to this Commit tee without debate. , The committee were named, and the tenth ballot was proceeded with an'd resulted as follows : TENRII sALLor. John M. Read 852 J. J. Pearson 40 J. Pringle Jonas 18 Mr. Reed was declared nominated on the tenth ballot, which was made unanimous by the Convention by a vote 4:11' ratification. The Convention then proceeded with the 6ominations for 0.113 LL COMUEIBIO.I92a, WIN B. Frazier, Fayette county 99 Win; M. Lloyd, Blair.. W. R-Wagonseller Snyder 11 R. M. Fricke, Northumberland. —•••• 6 Goo. W. Patton, Blair 8 Mr. Frazier's nomination was made 'math- MOUS. • The Committee ou.Resolutionrthen i!etareu , . A resolution was adopted authorizi ng the - Preriident to appoint State Central Commit tee of one from each Senatoiial district- The Convention then took a recess of 10 an hour, which we will improve by a ran:lurk or two. It was evident from th e a t ia th a t • the Black Republican element in the body, aided by sonic ten or a dozen renegade Demo crats, controlled the Convention. The straight Americans had no show. They are growling terribly—especially the Philadelphians, who vow retaliation and are especially down on W. B. Mann, one of the delegation, who is seeking a Congressional nomination, and they promise to defeat in his political aspira tions. The Democrats, many of whom have been watching die proceedings, are delighted with the nomination of Read. He istheyond a doubt the weakest opponent Judge Porter could have had, and it is pretty geneNly ad. mitted,hert that Read's n - Onttination ipsures Judge Porter's election. In parts 'of the State Judge Porter's prospects are proving, and many who a few weeks ago care doubtful, are strong in the Democratic faith, and the Judge will, beyond a doubt, be rek taiped bTa large majority in the position which he at present adorns. -The opposition is now in the field with a ticket' nominated on purpose to be beaten. Mr. Read is a free trader. How will the manufacturel , and working men of Allegheny county like pat? A Free Trade candidate upon a professedly, Tariff ticket, is decidedly good. The attempt io unite the discordant ele- I . ments which oppose the National Democracy has ben a most complete failure. The nomi nation of Read, like some of our Allegheny County nominations, will have to b "apolo gized for" a great many times beforo'the elec tion. As we write, the dissatisfaction mani fests itself in muttered growls all over the Hall, and if the Committee over the way in the Sero.te Chamber succeed in making a platform .- at all, it will be either a pieco of patch-work which wilt not hang together, or like Hackett's watch which would'nt go, "'be kase it had no innards," there will be nothing in it. But here it is. The Committee of thirty three, with Morton McMichael for Chairman, and John H. Hampton for Secretary, have labored for two hours and a half, and brought forth the following mouse. Mr. McMichael read the resolutions which were as follows : This Convention, representing the freemen of Pennsylvania who are opposed to the lead •ng meaure of the National Administration, ost esp c• lly those which seek to stifle the v/ voi ,- :.• gnore the rights of a largo majori ty of the citizens of Kansas, and those which have prostrated the industry of the country and are fast driving our Government into ria, tional bankruptcy, do hereby declare and re solve, That the Federal Constitution, the sove reign right and union of the States and the liberties of the people must, and shall be pre served. 2. Protests against the Kansas policy of the Administration. 4. Parity of the ballot box to be preserved at all hazards, and frauds on the naturaliza tion laws prevented by proper legislation. 5. Endorses the course of Simon Cameron. 6. Glorifies John M. Read. 8. Do. do. Wm. E. Frazer. 1 9. Approves of the enactment of proper laws to protect us from the introduotion 'of foreign criminals in our midst by returning them-Id - Once to places from whence'they have been shipped to our shores. While the Committee were out, Judge Jes sup and Hon. S. A. Purviance addressed the Convention. After the resolutions were adopted, Mr. Flannegan, of Philadelphia, Morton McMi. chael and others made short addresses, in which the main object appeared to be to make it appear that John M. Read was a good tariff man and to denounce the present ad ministration. And thus was inaugurated the "People's Party," composed of a little of all sorts. God save the country when such elements shall gain the ascendency in her councils. withdrawn. After the customary resolutions that the , President inform the candidates of their nom-' inations; of thanks to the clerk of the House and his officers,. &0., the Convention adjourn ed a few minutes before midnight. Supreme Court—Allegheny County Bonds EiI?.RISBURG, July 14th, 1858 The. Supreme Court met this morning, all he judges being present, and the first thing taken up was the writ of Mandamus against the Commissioners of Allegheny County. Ja co b Tomer, and John H. M'llhenny, Begs., of the County_ Bbard, were present in the Court, as also were a large number of Pittsburghers, who are here to attend the Convention, which will meet this afternoon at 2 o'clock—the forepart of the day having been occupied in "laying the ropes." As the "Mandamus case" is of the utmost interest to the tax payers of our county, I send a full statement of the proceedings as far as they have, gone. Upon the petition of Joseph T. Thomas, of Philadelphia, a writ of Alternative Mandamus was issued and served upon the Commission.' era of Allegheny Connty, made returnable on July 14th, at Harrisburg. The petitioner, Mr. Thomas, sets forth . That by - an Act of Assembly of the Common wealth of Pennsylvania, approved the twenty fourth day of May, 1849, certain persons there in named were authorized to organize a compa ny by the name, etyl and title of The Pitts burgh and Steuben e Railroad Company. That by an of Assembly of said . Com monwealth supplemental to said Aot, approved the twenty-sixth day of February, 1853, the county of Allegheny, through its Commissioners, was duly authorized upon the recommendation of one grand jury, to subscribe an amount not exceeding ten thousand shares to the capital stock of the said Company; to borrow money to pay thereto; and to make provielon for the principal and interest of the money so borrowed as in other cases of loans to said county; said act prescribing amongst other things " that po cer tificate of loan or bond shall be for a less sum than one hundred dollars ($100,) and shall bear an interest c f six per cent. per annum, payable half yearly, ?for which coupons may be issued, and said ceitificates or bonds and coupons may be made payable and transferable at such times, manner and places as said Commissioners may think expedient." That in the Court of Quarter Sessions of the said .county, No. 91 of June Term, A. D. 1853, the Grand Jury of said county recommended that the said county of Allegheny, through its Commissioners, should subscribe an amount net exceeding ten thousand shares to the capital stook of the Pittsburgh and Steubenville Rail road Company, ameably/to the provisions of the last above in part recited Act of Assembly. That the pre-requisites of said Act of Assem bly having been thus complied with, the said county of Allegheny, through its Commissioners, subaoribed the said number of shares to the cap ital stock of said company, and the certificates of loan or bonds of said county, having coupons attached, in the gross amount of three-hundred thousand dollars, and in amounts respectively of one thousand dollars, dated the fifteenth day s of July, A, D. 1853, duly signed by the Commis.' sioners, countersigned by the Clerk of the Com missione7, and sealed-mith the seal of said coon. ty, were issued in payment for such subscrip tion. That your petitioner purchased and is possess ed in his own right of two of said certificates of loan or bonds, representing two thousand dollars. That said certificates of loan or bonds on the face thereof, do set forth' and declare that the faith, Crredit and property of the said the county of Ad lighozi, were pledged for the payment of the prluelpal and interest thereof, and that said Ger ufLocites of loaa or bonds were issued in pursu ance o►` the above mentioned A.ot of .Aneeiaby, 3. Denounces government extravagance [Editorial Correspondence of the Post.] as by referenoci to said certificates of loan or bonds, a copy of one of which is hereto annex ed, .marked "A," will more fullY and at largo appear. That a large amount of inOrest on said certifi cates of loan or bonds is now and has been for some time past, due and payable thereon to your petitioners and other holders thereof, but that the said county of Allegheny has wholly neglect ed and refused to pay said interest so due, or to make any provision whatever for the payment of said interest. That by virtue of the said Act of Assembly, and also of the General Acts of Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in reference to the making or raising of county rates or levies, it became the duty of the Commissioners of the county of Allegheny, then and each and every year thereafter, te_provide for the payment of the said interest on gaid certificates ofi loan or bonds by the assessment and collection of such taxes 99 might be necessary for the purpose. That the said the county of Allegheny has wholly and wrongfully neglected to make any provision whatever for the payment of the said interest so accruing on the said certificates of loan or bonds, although as sfnrossid authorized and require.l so to do, us in other oases of loans Jo said county. , 1 And, therefore, pray that a sandstone may e Issued to said Commtssionera of the county of Allegheny, commauciirt the Commissioners of paid county at their next annual meeting for esti mating the probable expenses of said county, to make fall and ample provision in their estimates, for raising money to pay the interest on the aforesaid certificates of loan or bonds, which shall at that time be duo and unpaid, and that which ?hall become due thereon in the year next ensuing such meeting of said County Commis sioners, and to inanre their proper warrants to the collectors of county rates and levies of the said county for the collection thereof, as in the aforesaid Acts of Assembly they arc authorized and required to do. To this are appended a copy of one of the bonds issued to the Pittsburgh and Steuben wine Railroad Company, with copy of coupons and blank assignment. Upon this petition the Supreme Court issu ed the following : WRIT O MANDAMUS The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to Jacob Tomer, William Perkins and John Mcllhenny, Commissioners of the county of Allegheny, •g-reetings: Whereas, by an Act of Assembly of said • Com monwealth, approved the twenty-fourth day of Nfaich, 1849, certain persons therein named wef,e authorized to organise a company by the namp, style and title of the Pittsburgh and Sten benVille Railroad Company: Aid by an Act of Assembly of said Common wealth, supplemental to said act,\approved the twenty-sixth day of February, 1843, the county of Allegheny, through its Com Missioners, was duly authorized, upon the recommendation of one; grand jury, to subscribe an amount not ex ceeding ten thousand shares, to. the capital stock of Said company; to borrow money to pay there for to make provision for the principal and in terest of the money so ,borrowed, as in other cases of loans to said county. - And that in the Court of Quarter Sessions of the? bilid county, Number Ninety s one, (No. 91,) of acme Term, A.

[BEAL.] WM. H. MILLER, Prothonotary of the Middle District. On the 4th of June this writ was duly serv ed upon the Commissioners of Allegheny County. Thos. Williams, Esq. appeared for the respondents, and Wm. M. Meredith and Hardin, Esqs,, of Philadelphia, for the petitioners. Mr. Williams made a motion to quash the writ of mandamus, for the following reasons : 1. That the county of Allegheny is a mu nicipal corporation not located within this district of the Supreme Court, and that the claim upon which the said writ is founded, is a purely local and private one. 2. That the said writ has been issued im providently, without notice to the respond ents, and in a way not bonforming to the law or to the rules or practice of this court. 3. That the claim upon which tho same is founded, is altogether disputed and denied, and that no judgment has been recovered or suit instituted against the said county there for. 4. That if the Relators has any legal rights the law has already provided him with a spe cific legal remedy, which is exclusive in terms and effect, and is entirely sufficient and abun dantly adequate for all the purposes of this case. Mr. Williams pressed his motion to quash. and elaborated reasons given above with great ability and eloquent©. He was replied to by Mr. Meredith in an eloquent argument, but, as the speeches of both the gentlemen were upon matters of law, they would prove uninteresting if reported at length. Mr. Wil liams contended that this was not the proper manner nor the nroper place to initiate pro ceedings against the county in this matter of bonds, while Mr. Meredith claimed that it was the legal duty of 'the Commissioners to assess the tax to pay the interest'on Railroad bonds as on other claims. and that - this court had competent atith,ority to, make them do so. He demanded that the Respondents should de mur the writ, if it was not issued upon legal grounds, or if the factsw,ere disputed, to give the Relator an opportunity to, join issue and try them. she two houra' . argnment exhii)- • rA I .47 ' - ,Seat - re14..." j • lted some sharp wit and keen satire. After it had concluded, the court adjourned until Thursday morning, at 9 o'clock.
