As we predicted.when the National American Platform was promulgated, the attempted conciliation of the South has utterly failed and the Northern dough-fa ces only "dirted themselves for noth ing." Kentucky alone stands firm.— Tennessee, which was Whig in 1552, is irretrievably gone, and NI r. M. P. Gentry, distinguished for his base treachery to Gen.. Scott, has experienced merited ret ribution. With North Carolina and Tennessee gone it must be confessed Sam's prospects in th South are "grow ing, small by degr :es and beautifully less." The only ln»e for him is in stan ding firmly up or freedom. 3.lais State Convention of Whigs and Americans met at Columbus, Ohio, ou the 9th about ono hundred and fifty delegates being present, and nomi nated Ex-Gov.

The American party in Lancaster coun ty has taken.dccided ground for open or- ganization. The Executive committee of the party, have ordered an open elec- Lion in the different boroughs, wards and townships, on Saturday the 1.8,th of Sep tember, "at which all citizens the coun ty favorable to the American cause are invited to attend and participate in the selection of candidates to be supported by the• American party lit the coining general election." The return judges are to meet in Lancaster city the Monday following, and add up the votes, and the persons having the highest number of votes shall be the candidates of the party for the offices specified. No member of the American party is permitted to elec. th»leer for any office—the party being determined to act upon the Americal. principle that the party should seek the man, and not the man the office. The Americans of Chester county have formally resolved on a temporary suspen sion of their distinqtive proceedings as a party, iiforder to vo-operate with the Re publi,can- party. The Whi!rs of Cheslicr assembled, in county meeting On the ult., and declared it inexpedient to nomi nate a distinct Whig ticket at this time. They recomend a meeting: to be held on the ISth inst. "of all the citizens of the county who are opposed to .the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and to the ad mission of any more slave states in the Union, and determined to resist the fur ther aggresion of the slave power, and maintain the rights of the North against the overhearing insolence of the South," to - unite as a Rtpublicam Party, in the formation and support of a county ticket. A resolution was also adopted condem ning the practied of thrusting foreigners into office soon after landing upon our shores and declaring a lonycr praatt" , ,n in this country, before exercising the rights of citizenship, as essentially neces sary for the safety of the country. The Whigs of - Philadelphia met on Tuesday evening of last week and elec ted delegates to the general convention which was to meet yesterday. general determination was evinced to revive and preserve the old Whig party. That its strength is by no means insignificant is sbown by the fact that at a delegate elec tion in one ward 41S votes were polled and at several others upwards of three hundred. The Whigs of Mifflin county, at a meet ing held last week in Lewistown, resol ved that it was inexpedient to nominate a ticket. The Whig Convention of Blair county met in Hollidaysburg one day last week and split in two—one party, said to be K. Nrs: adjourning to the 10th of Sep tember and the Whigs proper to the 28th of August. TILE LOUISVILLE RIOTS. 'We give on the first page the Louisville Journal's version of the origin of these deplorable riots. The accounts given by the different papers are Very conflicting. The Covrier and Democrat of that city (anti -K. N.)both charge upon the Know Nothings a persistent system of provoca tion 4 - ,o violence i ,with a view to prevent the Gemlvis fine Irish from voting, and that the riots were produced by threats and nets of-violence on the part of the know nothings: The Journal charges exactly the reverse. As the result of the riots fourteen men were known to be kill ed, six of whom are Americans, and thue others who wore expected to die. The ' nnmber of the wounded is not knoWn. About thirty have been heard of. CUTTING LousE,—Wm.l3.lleed, Esq. of Philadelphia, a well known Whig, is out a caustic letter; addressed to lion, A. G.

The streets were thronged with visi tors and the Fair grounds presented an ani mated scene. The Fair itself was fully suo• ccssful and the receipts amounted, we under stand, to between $l2OO rind $l5OO. The display of articles in the various departments was exceedingly novel and attractive, but as our visit to the Fair was but brief and hasty , we cannot particularize. We were glad to no tice several very creditable articles ft.( m the skilful hands of Carlisle mechanics. The re port of the Managers we presume will give the details of the exhibition and do full jtuti tioe to the various exhibitors. The arrange ments of the Fair were excellent and we Con gratulate the energetic and attentive mana gers upon the complete success of their ef forts. Tni COUNTY FAin!--,—The exhibition at Nelcville, we hope has- had the good effect to rouse the spirit of our farmers and mechan ics and induce them to commence in good time to prepare articles of agricultural and mechanical production for exhibition at the County Fair which which takes place in Octo ber. Let no one be deterred from sending articles for exhibition by the fear that they will not be geod enough to take a' premium.— Whether they take a premium or not they w be of interest to the public. We hope to see such a display of stock, grain, domestic productS: elegant butter, preserved fruits and every other article nr pertaining to the Farm and Dairy as shall truly exhibit the wealth, fertili ty and thrifty husbandry of our noble county. our mechanics also will find-it an admirable opportunity to give the public occular demon stration of their taste and skill, and they should avail 'themselves of it with the coati dmice that their prosperity in business will be fully commensurate with the excellence of the articles thus brought to notice. We call atten tion to the matter now in order to prompt them to early action. The ladies, too, both of our borough and county, we hope will not forget that a crowd of spectators will be 100 ing with warm inter est for a thousand fancy and useful articles, the products of their busy needles and delicate taste,. Let the "note of preparation" be heard without delay and all be prepared to contribute something attractive tr substantial so that the display may be worthy of our flourishing Valley. wi.

A substantial dinner was provided in n grove near town, and after dinner a number of members participated in a free discussion of agricultural 'Subjects. Among other topics in troduced was a motion offered by Mr. George the County to make a donation of two hundred acres of the Poor •Ilouse Farm for the purpose of securing tho location of the new Model Farm School in this county. The motion was f,l) advocated with his usual earnestness and force tinned by Messrs. Stuart, Scheeler, Rea, Dale, Shaffer, Bradley, Glenn and others, some of them urging and others objectin g to the pro position. . We are glad the subject has been thus brought up and trust it will continue to be agitated until some definite result is attained, What other counties and individuals are doing to secure the location of this institution has been heretofore noticed ,in our paper, and we feel confident that if our Farmers give the subject the proper degree of reflection they will be prompted to co-operate in a vigorous effort to secure the location of the School in Cumberland county. Of what advantage it would be they can form an idea from the no count of an English Farm School which we publish in another column. We have little doubt but the proposition made at the Harvest Home on Saturday would meet - With the appro bation of the Farmers generally of the county, and would suggest that a meeting for further action on the subject bo held during the ap. Trenching August court. REAL ESTATE SALES.—The fine farm of Mr. C. Beorbrower, In North Middleton township, about a milo and a half from Car; lisle, was sold last week for '514,000, being at the rate of about $l4O an acre.

' Foarest thou lest the garish glare of Day Disclose SlllO fleck upon thy snowy cup? Or, is it pride, when other flowers ore gay, That makes thee hoard thy peerless beauty up?

Or (lost thou choose for thy seleetest hour,. The sTason nhon the Flans look down on Earth, That they nay know by virtue o 1 thy power, What Beauty In tills lowly Plaj.e has birth? Like a fair Bride, who all the live-long day Could not turret her eny and maiden ways, When the Night annoy thou threwest veils away, ,And then the dusk grows lustrous with thy gaze. But why so transient Tarry till the dawn Thou dreadost tarrying and to he despised. The Beauty that is often looked upon, ,ipt, thou thickest, to he lightly prized. Then let me view thee without vain regret; ' , "l And bathe me with the fragrance of thy breath; Shine in thy rich array. while I ferget How near approach thy Glory and thy Death!

LAW IN WISCONSIN.-11C peo ple of Wisconsin, says the New York Times, are rapidly gaining a reputation for disregard of law and contempt for legal tribunals. Not long since they seized a prisoner from the Sheriff, while on his way to jail, put a rope around his neck, and strangled him. On Wednesday last the act was repeated in Mil waukie, with but slight change; and a More barbarous act never disgraced a civilized com munity. The prisoner was DI:11AR, charged with the murder of the AIEYEIL family, and found guilty of murder in the ffrst degree.— The circumstances of the murder, which we have published, were horrible, it is true, but not more so than the manner of his death. While being taken to jail, surrounded by Military, a mob rushed at him ; the military . gave way, and DEBAIL was struck to the ground by a stone. The mob then fell upon him and mangled him in a dreadful manner. A rope was then tied to his heels, and he was dragged through the streets the distance of half a mile, when he was hung up by the heels to a tree, where he remained for several hours. A more barbarous act it has never been our un pleasant duty to record. • liitarriages. In Shipponsburg. on tho 25th ultimo, by Per. Joseph Mahon, itev. D. D.
