I' a .61 CON TO-DAY.
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

from Puget Bound, or Vancouver, on the Colum

to Rock Island, in the llillEsissippi, by the South

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

this connection is absolutely shattir than her

Considering, therefore, the greater shortness

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. Lines
eleo hog verse now run It one our Pocifie ports

kiuds from San Francisco, but lumber and spars
mainly from Puget Soubd San Franoien and
Puget 80.1;11 are the two great natural centres
of commerce on the western coact, and both are
esamitial to its development, and control by us,
