JAMES THOMPSON W A. GALBRAITH H PELTON J W. DOUGLASS C C BOYD JAMES WILSON e H. H ALLISON Erie, Sept. 1555. The Nominee for Senator By the ir promedings of the meeting, published in another column, it will be seen that C B. Powza, Esq of Conneautville, Crawford County, received the nomination for Senator of those op posed to the Finney movement. In politics, Mr. P. is a whig—a gentleman of fair talente,of unexceptionable character, and in regard to our local difficulties, perhaps as right as any man outside the county of Erie. Indeed, we would have no objection—unless we are misinformed in regard to his character—to commit the entire question to his keeping We are assured he will poll a strong vote in Western Crawford, and hence it rests with the whip of Erie to secure his election or defeat They can do either? It is as entirely in their hands as though the bal lots were counted The whigs of Erie have'but to secure the Democratic vote of the county, and C. B. Power is as surely elected as the sec ond Tuesday of October comes round But . to do this they must 8114)W a better spirit—a more Liberal disposition—and an honester purpose than was exhibited in the convention on Monday, and insultingly endorsed by the Convention's orgain. If they want Sampson to help them, they must restore to Sampson his locks, or he may put his shoulders to the pillars of the temple and tumble the whole edifice about their ears. We say this in no threatening moode; we be,. indicate the feeling abroad in the Democratic ranks The Whip of Erie, by their votes in convention, and by the language of their orgain, have based the claims of their candidates upon political ground; now, if that is the issue, and it is one the Democracy do not now nor have wished to make, what difference is there between th'e two candidates for Senator? None! Not a particle: What then ought to be the course of the Demo cracy? In our view it should be, and we trust will be, an armed neutrality until the bathers of party are thrown aside, and the Democracy in vited into camp upon a perfect equality. -4.- -- - Whig State Convention Ml= The Whig party of Pennsylvania, or what is left of it, assembled at Harrisburg on Tuesday lost, for the purpose of nominating a Canal Com missioner. Upon calling the roll, out of the one hundred sad thirty-three representative and Senatorial districts, but 49 delegates were in at tendance. A rather small show indeed, in view of the megaikceat pretentious of whigery, and the unparalelled expectations of some of die del egates. The vote for Canal Commissioner, re. 'raked thus: Jo..ph Henderson, Passmore Williamson, IL K. Lemon, Mr. Henderson, of Washington county, was declared the nominee of the Whig part, at the main eletion. A reties of resolutions were then adopted, and then the "brave forty-nine" went home Romance vs. Reality Our "neighbor round the corner," has a peculiar propensity to steal political victories; or, perhaps we should say, of romancing about the result of elections. For instance, do the Know Nothings "tax out" the Democracy, he fortwith shoats, "A glorious Whig victory " A free soil swam is treated in the same way, while a "fusion" triumph is as unceremoniously con signed to the same pot; in short, like an expe rienced French cook, cat, possum or skunk, comes out from his laboratory genuine rabbit. But the greatest triumph in this species "romancing" our neighbor "does up" over the result in Maine: Sere it is: There was no eboiee of Governor by the people in Knipe lAA Monday.

Wi7Jia+n-• son was the sacrifice offered up. If we calif be astonished at any folly these one idea politicians might perpetrate, this last would do it.— They vever did have any sense, and, unlike al most every body else, they don't appear to ac quire any by experience! Passmore Williamaon for Canal Commissioner, indeed! Before this result, we would not have risked a copper on the chances of the Democratic nominee. The fusion ists, we thought, had it all in their own hands; and, if they had possessed two ideas instead of one, they would have; but now ARNOLD PLUM- ca is just as sure Canal Commissioner as the se cond Tuesday of October comes round. And for this we thank them most heartily. It will save the Democracy of the State a great' deal of anxi ety, besides rendering the "calling and election i sure" of its candidate. But we must tell our renders how this "feast" was prepared by the "fusion" cooks. After the convention was or :poised-, a committee was appointed, of which McClure, of the Chambersburg Whig—a etraight-out whig paper—was chairman, to pre sent i suitable person for Canal Commissioner This committee in due time named Pent MAR- I TIN ' Esq., of Lancaster Before acting upon Pe i ter, however, the convention adjourned, and when ; it assembled again it was "all in my eye," Peter Martin. A man named Lloyd was then propos ed, but brother Fenn, of the Lancaster Whig, killed his prospects outright by telling the con , vention that Lloyd was nrged."for the: purpose of ; attaching the dead carcass of whigery to its in terest." And, as the "dead carcass" had become offensive in the noetrels of all decent people, he was opposed to him. Mr. Howe, of Crawford, thought the nomination of any•man — would have to be made'by faith and not by sight, as it was impossible for the members to know the charac ter and competency of the individuals named. He suggested that the convention should not make a nomination. Mr. Darsie, in view of the faith he experienced last Fall, we suppose, coincided with Howe. Col. McClure thought otherwise. lie thought the convention gave up a part of its power if it did not nominate. He vouched for Mr. Lloyd as being as good a Republican as there was in the State He was opposed to submit ting this nomination to a committee. All this was very fine; so fine indeed, that the conven tion took him at his word, and put a "rod in pick le," which was very soon administered to him by a Mr. Aaron—hence it may *called, we sup pose, "Aaron's rod"—which was no less than a move to amend by inserting the name of Pass more Williamson in place of Mr. Lloyd as the nominee of the convention for Canal Commis. sooner. Mr. Aaron said he had been thrilled by the sentiment so often used in this convention, that "resistance to tyrants was obedience to God," and he believed that the man who had made it palpable in Pennsylvania that this was his prin ciple above all others was Passmore Williamson. He had given evidence before the world that he was indeed a Republican—one whom they could trust Mr Theophilus Fenn remarked that Mr. Mr Passmore Williamson having been impris oned for life, he could not act. The office was I not a sinecure. Mr. Aaron said that the people of Pennsylvania would organise themselves into an army, and with the arms which God had giv en them would tear down those prison walls stone by stone. Mr. Fenn thought the gentleman should first organise his army and set Mr. Wil liamson free, and then nominate him. Sensible Fenn; and he might have added, such language t came with a bad grace from a man who had just denounced violence and outrage in Kansas. But to proceed; several other efforts were made by the whigs and Know Nothings to choke off the nomination of Williamson, but it was no go.— The farce had opened audit had to be played out. And it was— and so Passmore Williamson be- came the nominee of the Great Fusion-Republi can party of Pennsylvania: We believe in the doctrine that "when yon get a good thing keep it;" we sincerely hope therefore, our Free-dirt friends will keep Williamson on the course! The Gazette of this city, which puts on and off the garments of anti-Slavery with as much facility as men do their hats, remarked the other day that the "whigs of the North repudiated this Millard Fillmore for signing" the Fugitive Slave bill. Upon this, the True American suggests "whether it is in acoordanee with good taste, af ter praising Mr. Fillmore as it did in the days of his power, justifying his most pro-slavery acts, and declaring its willingness to support him for another Presidential term if nominated, now to turn round and give the political remains of its old acknowledged leader, and fellow sinner such an ungracious kicking, and to propitiate such as were, for their Free Soil proclivities, utterly read out of the whig party." True, most true; still the Gazette is not a whit more inconsistent in repudiating its former favorite and patron, than it is now in being an ultra worshiper of the Missouri Compromise. We very well recollect, when the admission of California was a question before the country, that it denied and repudiated that measure. Mr. Bucahanan in his celebrated Herb county Harvest Home letter, advocated the policy of extending the Missouri line to the Pacific, and for so doing was most violently as sailed by the Gazette. Then political capital could be made by denouncing the Missouri Com promise, whereas now it can be made by denoun cing its repeal, and presto change, the consis tent Gazette puts on its anti♦lavery garments, and is noisy among the noisiest in crucifying the Democracy. But the Casette is not alone in its inconsistency. Let us do it justice; for there PORTLAND. Sept- 11 are others as deep in the mud as it is in the mire. This is obvious to every man who will compare the past of Seward, Chase, Hale & Co., and the other gods at whole shrine the True American worships, and their present position. For instance, in 1850, Mr. John P. Hale, Sena tor from New Hampshire, elected recently upon the ground that he is in favor of the restoration of the Missouri Compromise, said: Burros, Sept 12. "I sever will, by vet or epee* adult or 'abaft to nay thing that nay bid the 'Atom ad oar laglabitioa bore sad auks tire parallel of 36 dog. S • lats. UN beaadary limp be twain free sad shave to This was on the admission of California, the &nth opposing that admission, and urging an adherence to the Missouri compromise. Jefferson Davis, of Miss, said: "We are willing, for the spirit of compromise, sad is cataplianes with the pest asquiesenoe of the States to be restricted by the parallel of 16 deg. 80 min. north." Mr. Hilliard, of Algoma, me equally explicit: "I shall freely declare fat lapel( I prefer to settle the (Pmetiee by an adheesaee to the Missouri Compromise." Mr. Foot, of Miss., clawamsris sd the preposaladminioad California le a itenl• Pasamore Williamson. True, tout True. lificatios of the Missoiri eomprmnies principle. " Mr Don is , after dna,* the power of Congress to pen the act et 1820, kwas willing to yield up his doubts a toady offering sips' the altar demi cession," sad adhere to that set. Several States —Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina and Vir ginia—while denying the power of Congress to pus the law, were ready, in the language of Mr. Downs, to "yield up their doubts a ready sacri fice on the altar of concession." All these appeals were vain and fruitless. Chase, Hale and Sew ard, anti every abolitionist in Congress voted in opposition to the compromise, which was then superseded by the policy of popular sovereigaty, which is again denouneed by them. Then the people must rule, and so decided was Mr. Sew ard upon the subject that he declared he would vote for the admission of California, even if she recognized slivery; while now, his negro pha lanx will "resolutely enforce the legitimate pow ers of the United States government over the public territory." lien. Taylor, the whig Pres ident, in a special message on the 21st of Janua ry, 1850, said, if "Congress should annex a con dition to the admission of California affecting her domestic institutions contrary to the wishes of her people," they would certainly change their constitution after admission, and thus effect their object. He adds explicitly: 'Any attempt to deny the people of that Stite the right of self government will infallibly be regarded by them as an invasion of their rights; and on the princi ples laid down in the Declaration of Indepen dence they will certainly be sustained by the great mass of the American people " Mr. Dis ney, Mr. Sackett, Mr. Gorman, Mr. McQueen, and many others, maintained these views. Mr. Benton called the compromise one of the Clay gods set up for worship. It was not worshiped, it was denounced, and superseded by the policy now characterized "as an outrage perpetrated by the last Congress." The truth is, the Gazette is not the only exponent of latter-day patriotism that can be convicted of looking in opposite di rections for political success. ---•-- Where are We! =ZEE In view of the action of the Whig County Con vention, in refusing to entertain a proposition to allow the Democrats to select one member of the Legislature, and the result of the Conferees Con vention at Lockport on Tuesday, in placing in nomination another member of that party, the inquiry at the head of our article suggests itself to the mind of every Democrat in the County Where are wef We presume there are some Demo crats left in Erie County, and we also suppose they have a little pride and a little self respect; and, among other things, can tell, not only when they are insulted, but how to resent it. In re viewing the present mate of affairs, we need not refer to the pi.st course of the Democracy of Erie I County upon our rail road troubles; where and how they have made themselves felt, is known to every reader of our paper. Through them the influence of the late State Administrator was cast into the scale against the rail road monopoly— mat into the scale, too, at a time when if it had preponderated the other way, or had even occu pied neutral ground, the "Erie war" would have been crashed instanter. Through them, too, the ear of the National Executive was reached, and the real facts of the controversy, and the' extent and aims of the so called "riots," explained' Through them, too, the bill known as "Thomp son's bill," was matured and carried successfully through the Legislature, and landed as safely in the capacious "breeches pocket" of the present wing Governor. In saying this, we do not wish to be understood as denying that the Whig Re presentatives from Erie did not contribute their full quota of influence towards the passage of Thompson's bill. They did their full share, but that it would have passed without the influence brougth to bear in its favor byJudge THOMPSON's well known and acknowledged ability, no man can pretend. So true is this, so fully acknowledg ed, that the managers and louden of the Whig party deemed it absolutely necessary to profess (and we do them the justice to say we believe their professions sincere) to look upon the elec tion of one member of the Legislature the present Fall from the Democratic ranks as a matter of the utmost importance. Well, the Whig Con vention met on Monday, and it was proposed to -nominate one candidate, and concede the other to the Democrats. But no; those who had here tofore moved Whig Conventions in any direction they pleased—at whose beck, in fact, "great men" had been made and unmade in Erie Colin . ty— e suddenly got weak in the knees, and aban doned the proposition to its fate. They doubt less desired the resolution passed, but the ghost I of Banque made cowards of them, and it was de tested, upon one vote by three, and upon another trial by a lie. Was ever political cowardice more apparent! After this exploit, the Convention nominated two Candidates, and passed resolutions by a nearly unanimous vote, endorsing the policy which one half the Convention thought required the election of a Democrat to the House. Thus showing that it was not because the Convention disapproved and condemned our "local hobby," that. they did not want the influence of a Demo cratic member ; but simply because they thought themselves strong enough to "paddle their own canoe!" But this is not all—on the next day the; gave us a Whig nominee for Sena tor, and then on Thursday the Erie Gazdtei the orgain, the mouth piece, of these "liberalist," tells us that the "Convention thought" that "the pressing exigencies of our still unsettled local question—a question in which we feel a para mount interest" WAS NO "superior to the has sard of sending to the House a gentleman laden tified by party associations with the pro-slavery cause, odious and indefensible as that cause is." In other words, the Convention and its orgain, have very politily invited the Democracy of the County out of the controversy. In view of this evident fact, the query comes home to every Do. macrat, " Where are seer' From the very outset we have been treated as mere "hewers of wood and drawers of water," and now we submit if it is not asking a little too much to expect a e to firm. our votes and talluenee upon those who apprseiate them so lightly. Perhaps we can ae oomplish nothing by nominating and voting for a Democratic ticket', but there is one thing we can do, and that is, show the world that we are not the mere play-things of the Grudge junto. Again, we shall plane responsibility where it will justly belong with the Whig party in Erie County, and which, if we mistake not, is a littl e t oo yak in the back at the present time to stand up ander. We hope the County Committee will all a Convention immediately!

The weather is well epioed with the emblem of Autumn. By As sea shore, it must be grow ing chilly, but here it is AM, healthy weather, favorable to business activity and athletic sports. every day, almost, tie green lawns of Hoboken are surrounded with great crowds of the "fancy," attracted by matches of base ball and cricket Cricket has not become in ,American game yet. The cricket elnhis are mostly composed of Eng lishmen. Base ball is quite nstioa-►l; the boys learn it in school. But the ham boll clubs are men of fine physical developtimient, practised and skillful players. They dress in flannel tights, sandals and gloves, colored all over in harlequin style. Hoboken is now principally given up to the sporting gentry. It was formerly a favorite afternoon resort of nurses and children, and qui et family after dinner parties, but rowdyism has made the place its own. The shades there are delicious, as many of your readers are aware, and from the upper part of the Elysian fields, one's eye is filled by a comprehensive view of the vil lage of Gotham' on the other side of the river Down to the Battery; up, as far as you can see, stretches the city, bristling with spires and °him neys; then the gates of the Highlands open and are filled, if the morning is breezy, with a cloud of white winged river craft, toiling up stream in company. What tragedies are going on every day behind a thousand domestic curtains, and acting with which Rachel could never compete! Sometimes there is a denoument, an appeal to the Law, a murder, a suicide; then the whole thread of a life history is even unraveled, and literary hacks use it to build up new "sensation novels." In a lodging room in the unpoetic Bowery, the last scene of such a family tragedy was enacted the other day. The story is long, and passes from Germany to America. The beautiful daughter of a Polish prince's mistress, is forsaken by her husband or lover, a French Secretary of Lega tion, under Cavignac; he promised to marry her, tf she will leave Protestantism and become a Catholic; she does so, and he leaves her in a nunnery. She comes to America with her sister and child; supports herself by embroidering a magnificent shawl which attracted great limn. tion at the Crystal Palace. Finally, she sends a last entreaty to the father of her see, a beauti • ful boy, to recognize and receive him. He must have refused, for soon the apartment of the sis ters is closed; no one issues for a day or two. It is broken into by the landlord, and the beautiful and unfortunate ladies, are found in the sleep of death, with poison beside them. A true tragedy. Among the foreign population of the city, especi ally among the Germans, there are many such tales, or equally sorrowful ones, to be heard These are the refugees of I , e4e and 1849 We conversed with one lately, a Mr.:Patterson, ar chitect of the Cooper Institute, and the Polytech nic of Brooklyn. He was one of the leaders of the Prusian revolution; saw the King of Prussia kneel before the people when his life was in their hands; entreat their pardon, and swear to the constitution which be soon so shamefully tram pled upon. Mr. P. escaped by hiding three or four days in the coal hole of a German vessel His large lauded property was, of ',puree, confis cated. Many, who came to this country during the Revolution, are very much reduced in cir cumstanoes. German ladies of education and re finement have bees obliged to seek places as com • mon house servants. As a people, they frater nise wonderfully. In the German houses of en tertainment, thirty or forty compatriots, general ly of the working classes, delight to get together in a ring and sing the songs of "Fatherland." They enjoy themselves more over their few tem perate glasses of "larger" with pipes and songs, than any other kind of "vagrom men." Irish men think they cannot enjoy themselves without getting gloriously drunk. - Let every one look up his papers and be sure that he knows where he was born, and how, ex actly. If any of your readers are ever so unhap py as to attain to official preferment in the city of New York, they will be very likely to learn, in a short time, from incontestible proof, that their father and mother were both foreigners and that themselves were not born in America. If it can't be proved any other way, somebody will send over, at public expense, to the continent a gentleman of a very inquiring turn of mind, who will develape every needful circumstance with the most astounding minuteness. Mr. Stephen H. Branch, has, by his researches into the ped igree of Chief of Polies Matsell, distinguished himself preminently in his line of business. Af ter Alderman Briggs had become tired of being sneered at in all the city papers as a Dogberry and a goose, he was bound to revenge his injured reputation and send over somebody to England who should prose Chief Mansell to be a John Bull and "nothing shorter." Mr. Branch did this thing up in a style most elaborately'brown.' He found the parish books containing the birth record of aGeorge Matsell; measured the fount in which George was baptised, and concluded that the Chief might have been able to get in when he was steelier; measured the schoolroom in which George was developed; bricks, he re ports, nine inches square on the floor! States that his whiskers ware admired by the youth of England; remarks the palpitation of his heart when he discovered the reword of George Mat sell's birth. Returns thanks to the people of Great Britain for the aid afforded him in th is great discovery, and modestly requests any per son who knows any thing to the contrary of the facts stated in his report, to come out and blow his Wile in the presence of an astounded uni verse/ Mr. Breach hes ). beamed as a new lumi nary for a brief hour, but his light is out, his gas is exhausted, he is set. The last Aldermanio privilege of plunder has been out off, and hereafter their once rotund cor porosities will thin out gradually on $32 a week, and "no pickings and *tailings." The carriage hire privilege has been dose away with. A carte blanche he. been hitherto given to Aldermen to use carriages on public business, of which they have very little. But some have managed to make a bill of $5OO a year, furnishing free rides to the "fancy" of alidereriptions, gamblers, pick - pockets, and women if bad repute. This last abuse is done away with, after a struggle, and at some future time an Alderman may be respec table.

The whole State is I.ok ed upon as, in some sort, an socomplice of the company, and is bound to shield it The General Government and HanmuL The course of events in Kansas continues to be a godsend to the abolitionists. The law es tablishing this territory, and the Nebraska ter ritory, contemplated free action by the bona tide settlers of those two territories: It is based on the idea that the people settling them might be trusted with the control of their local affairs with as much safety as were those of California, or Arkansas, or of Massachusetts; and every movement designed to prevent such indepen- dent action by the settlers is as contrary to and violative of the LAW under which they act as it is to common sense and republican government This will apply as well to the forced action of abolitionists as to the outrageous course of the Missourians. Both have been against the -p r of the law. And it cannot be denied that the Missourians are proceeding from bad to worse; that the laws they are passing are as absurd and ridiculous as their election proceeding were illegal. Their act, for instance, making free discussion a penal offence is simply ridiculous Do the men who passed it call themselves Jeffersoniau repulli cans? Let them recur to the great lessons of the sage of Monticello—his own treatment of the slavery question—and see how withering is bas condemnation of their proceedings The very suggestion that Thomas Jefferson would approve of such laws as the Kausas legislature have pas !RA is a libel ou his memory But what do the abolitionists, and men even who would disclaim the epithet, say as to a re medy? They denounce the course of non-action of the President They say he was prompt t act in the reuditien et kutliony Burns, but has not moved a finger t stay hack the inroad of the Missourians into Kansas, or to rebuke their legislation; and then they fall to and heap upon him denunciation upon denunciation Now let us see what this clamor means; let us see exactly 1 what these abolitionists demand, let us test their political soundness And first, what these abolitionists detnand, 1 what they virtually ask, is that the President shall dispatch a military force into Kansas t o control its local affairs, to act exactly as Low, Napoleon would ae! a+ to a .li,loyal prefecture, or local council If, under French centraliza tion, a local board .iii the outskirts of Fritiee gets into troubl , , it is tile simplest of operations to remedy it. The despot has but to detach a regiment; turn out the perfect and the coutiet:, and instal others. These clamorers for executive intervention in the ca-c of Kansas arc asking just this: that the President would send a tile Of troops to dissolve the legislature, just as Cromwell scat tered the rump parliament: The searching questitti may be here asked, what right has the PrCsitient to make or meddle with the local legislature of Kansas? lie is made, by the constitution, the executor of the laws of the land; he is bound to govern himself by these laws; and the law establishing Kansa, expressly provides that it, intent and meaning is "to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their ,domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to t nstitu ' of the United States." And again: "The consti tution and all laws of the United States, which are not locally inapplicable, are to have the same force and effect in Kansas as elsewhere within the United States." Here, then, is the rule of action for the President. The law actually pro hibits him from meddling with the proceedings of the Kansas legislature. It is evident that the same oath which obliges him to execute the law in the ease of the rendition of a fugitive, obliges him to refrain from meddling with the internal affairs of the Kansas territory. The abolition clamor, then, amounts the denunciation of the President for obeying the laws of the land: Nothing could be more senseless than the abolition clamor because of the President's non action as to the Kansas elections and the action of the Kansas legislature. And the whole outside interference with the local affairs of Kansas 1, entirely uncalled for. It is no new thing for in truders to interfere in the incipient stages of our territorial governments. Great confusion, for years, existed in California, before the regular action of Government commenced; hordes of in truders threatened the peace of the country; on the discovery of the placers vessels were desert ed/ by their crews; foreigne of every descrip tion flocked into the co 4 ntry: Indian horse thieves abounded; and th was no end to ill, confusion that existed, up to the verge of eivii war President Taylor, in his message to Coil greats, January 21, 185 t), states that the instruc tions given to the government officers were, "that all measures of domestic policy adopted by the people of California must originate solely with themselves;" and that his aim had been to avoid any interference with the election of deieg'ttes. The abolitionists, now would seem to want the President to exercise a guardianship over the people; to station a military force in Kansas; and act the part of dictator to its legislature: When a case arises of resistance to the laws of the United States, and the President is called upon to act under the law of Congress of 1795, the past shows that. he will be the last to shrink from the performance to duty. The abolitionists are making the most out of the state of things in Kansas; and the men who have usurped the control of the territory, ant iu augurated all but mob law, are playing on pletely into their hands.
