The adjourned Conven:ion ,f the lin , w Nothings meets toFday, and Will, we preFume Fettle the fate of the nath,n. To day also it is supposed that the Convention will assemble, alth Jugh we arc, as yet, " mainly ignorant " as to the delegates which will compose this 1:.::dy. Tho call has Leen published for weeks in the True Press, yet we look in vain in the columns of that de lectable she'et fur a list of delegates. It is " well assured that delegates from every dis trict in the county will be, present," but it gives no names. Perhaps, like Rhoderick Dhu, the True Frees has its forces concealed in the hushes, who will at their leader's "shrill whistle " this morning, "On tight, on lett, etuce, b.l Spring up ut once, the lurking " "We shall see, what we shall see," at the Court House today. A.NOTHEit CON VENTIO.fg." Under this caption, the Gazette announces that "the discontented Democrats have out a call for another Democratic Convention, •which has already been signed by over 600 sterling Democrats." We have heard for some days past that a few, dissatisfied in not obtaining the nomi nations of their favorite candidates, in the late Democratic Convention, were circulating a call, such as is mentioned in the above ex tract. , It may be that " six hundred," or even more Democrats have signed it, or will sign it. No good Democrat should have a particle a sympathy with any such move ment, which can result in nothing but dis cord. - The Convention of Wednesday last was the regularly called and regularly organized Con vention of the Democracy of Allegheny eon os ty. Its delegates were elected by the people, and represented the people. The ticket wh ieb it nominated, and which may be found at the head of the editorial columns of the Post, is the--regular Democratic Ticket, and as such we shall give it our most hearty support. We, are not content that the Convention sh.nild haVe ignored the great national principles of our party, and refused to endorse our Demo cratic President. But this new movement is anti-Democratic, and should be frowned I,,wn by every true Democrat. The men xvlio tae endeavoring to get up this atf.iir, endorse the platform of the Convention, which we do not, but having failed to secure such nominations as they sought, they object to the ticket. We support the ticket because it is a good one, and above all, because it is the Democratic ticket. The Post is not accusto med to get "soreheaded," because it cannot have things its own way. It is a Democratic paper, and will support Democratic doctrines. Any movement calculated to weaken the strength of the ticket which our Convention has numi nated, will meet with no favor from the: Post. APPOINriIIELE '.l` OF LOCAL. I NSPS.C. TOSS The Board to designate Local Inspectors at this port, under the Act of Congress of Aug. 50th, 1852, met on Tle,sday, at the Custom House,. to designate, according to law, an In , Spector of Hulls, and an Inspector of Boil ers, in place of John S. Dickey, and Andrew Watson, Esqs., removed. The Board consists of lion. Thomas Irwin, Judge of the United States District Court for the Western DisN triat of Pennsylvania, Coll James A. Ctilis,m, Surveyor of the Port,and Benjoi to in 'rawt , .rd, Esq ° Supervising Inspector. The Board designated Capt. Redmond J. Grace, of this city, as Inspector of and Thomas Suowden.Esq., of Brownsville, as Inspector , of Boilers. These designations were made-in pursuance of law to Hon. How ell Cobb, Secretary of the Treasury, who makes the appointment. There could not have Leen named, in the, Western District of Pennsylvania, two ~,erit lemen more perfectly qualitied fur the pusi. Lions to which they have been assigned, nor whose appointments %sill be hailed with more unqualified approval, not only by those who have interest in the business to which the duties of the offices relate, but by the en tire community, than Capt. Grace and Mr. Snowden. They have each the most eaten. sive, and thorough practical knowledge of their business. E. Grace has been for Lsvetity LWO yrats a practical ricer man, during which lila,: bso4 commanded some of the best and most popular craft upon the Western waters, the last being the Cincinnati packet, "Superior." There isnothing about a steam boat whieliCapt• Grace does not know. At the same time he is a thoroughly educated business man, possessing the judgment and ine,;hanieal knowledge re quisite to fulfil the duties of his appointment. His personal character has over been above reproach, and the public along the western waters, whore his acquaintance is most exten sive, will award the most psrfect confidence, not only in his skill and judgment, but in his unswerving honesty of ptirpOso. lie i s emphatically " the right wan in the right plane." Mr. Thcrwas Snowden ; Bruwn.ville, I, a practical engineer and boiler-builder, in which business he has fur some `ears keen engaged. Ile possesses all the Lill, the _ judgment and the experience necessary fur his responsible duties. He has a most ex tensive acquaintance among steamboat men, till of whom will hail his appointment with satisfaction. Both of these appointments will receive 4.. ; • the hearty endorsement of tse Democracy of the West, for they are both sound, ralia.ble Democrats--ever ready to contribute by their influence and their means for the support of the right cause Os Dr c —That our amiable neighber, Jis P.

The distance from Puget Bound, or Vancouver, on the Colum bia, to Sa.

And the distance from Benicia, via the valleys of the Sacramento and Willamette; Vancouver and the northern route, to St. P.ul, is twenty-five 11=1- dred mils-s. If we take the equates distance, allowing fur grade, which, though not Important es regards passengers, is an indispousible elemtnt at regards freight' we find that the distance from Benicia to St. Paul, and the western end of Lake Superior by the northern route, is twenty ' 41 . 111t.`, hundred and fifty tulles; from San Fran °loco to Gaines by the route of the thirty-second parallel, three thousand miles; 'from San Fran,- Cisco to Memphis by:the thirty-fifth parallel, thirty-three hundred miles ; and from Benicia to nook island, by the Booth Pass route, twenty eight hundred and fifty miles.

Considering, therefore, the greater shortness of the northern route end its near oonneotions with both Asia and Europe, it must become the great route of freight and passengers from Asia and Europe, and even of freight from Ails, to the whole valley of the Missies'ppi. I have adverted to the views of the English Government in regard to an o,verle.nd canatouni cation through its own peneesetons. We are contiguous on the Lnay.einth parallel to that powerful foreign sovereignty Which will give us the most strength ? which will most add to our defense ? which will moat stimula'e our own genius and force ? which will most spread popu lation through our borders and best evoke the resoutcea of oar country ? which will give us the best foot in the north-west, and eenble us best to held in our hands the key of the Pacific? a railroad on our own soil, and a great part on our own ocean coast, or a road passing over, the soil of that powerful foreign sovereignty, and a great port on its ocean coast? The question of the control of the commerce of the Pacific and of the ascendency of American genius and enter prise there, is involved in the solution of this question; and therefore I claim for the northern route the friendly consideration of gentlemen from all quarters of the Union, as not a sectional but as pro- eminentty a rational route. I am of opinion there will be a great freight business on the routes of Asiatic supplies. By the time the roads are completed, there will be, unquestionably, a population of nearly one mil lion of souls on the line of each route, furnish lug the basis of way business, In addition to a vastly larger population resting on the present western line of States, and in rho general vicini ty of the eastern termini, which will receive their supplies of Asiatic goods by the rail. Oa the Paeifio railroads a great variety of Asiatic pro deete will be distributed to all quarters of the countly, and even cn these roads pass to En rope. No costly or perishable article, or article which deteriorates by crossing the tropics, will reach our Atlantic ports or the; porta of Europe by either cape. Silks, &picas, and teas, will go to our depots In the Pacific, mid will he taken over the great overland routes. to all the States of the Union, ti the Ceinadoe, and to .Europe. The itnhginetiou of man can ecareely set bounds to the Noire grandeur of our interests throughout that great sea. Already a commerce is springing up between us and the Russian ou the Paolfie, by the line of the Amoor, navigable two thousand milts for steamers, - otiose mouth is abou. four thousand miles from Puget Sound, and which will early bring us into e.onnootian with thirty rofll,en of people.
