We were satisfied when the Republican coa
vealitta Jolt week finished ha khora, and pre,
rutted to the people of Brie Cenity a ticket
which hears upon its hoe the dictation of the
"owner of the party," that the - elements that bad
been overslaagbed in that Convention would
never submit ; and the result bas justified our
belief. Already ha rebellion been proclaimed,
and we are no true profit if, ere the Wits of Oeto-
ber, the little sortie of renegade `Democrats who,
under the lead of the nominee for Senator eon
trolled the nomivations, do 4 ,, t find that the bed
they have made in the republican household is
out tune that will bring sleep to their eyelids or re
poor to their bodies The following call for a
Congestion, which we find in the Constitution of
Wednesday, is significant :
RIPUBLICAN Comity Mstrrtzto.—The
publican voters of the County, are invited to
meet at (}hard 011 Monday the 16th of August
irt., at 2 o'clock, P. M., to take into considers
non noninations for Congress, State Senate, and
County °Seers, and to confer on the general in.
terests of the party.

urday the 14th, between the hours of 5 and 6 P.
M., and two delegates are to be sleeted from each
Election District in the County.
GOURD, Aug 9. Maui RIPUBLICANS
This is followed up by an editorial, in the
same paper, from which we make the following
extract, showing the tone and temper with which
the action of the convention is reviewed by that
portion of the Republican party who have not
yet become mere machines to carry out the poli.
deal schemes of Lowry, Teller & Co. In speak.
ing of the manner the convention was construc
ted the antatitsaieo stays :
"Among the city delegation we find one a life
long Democrat, a man who never voted a Repoli,
lieu Ticket in his life, and who never has been
known as a Republican. More than medial( of
all the votes he received were oast by "ripper"
Democrats. His colleague, David Kennedy, has
been notations for hie bitterness against law and
order, and has not the first sensible idea of Reil
publicanism. A majority of the delegates from
the city, from liarborcreek, Milicreek, McKean
and Fairview were of the same proscriptive, bigi
oted stamp, and a large portion of the voters at
the primary meetings were Democrats—Lecomp.
ton u well as Anti-Lcoompton. "Hipperism '
was the shibboleth of Mr. Babbitt and his
friends. Mr. Walker and his friends 'conducted
the canvass without reference to distracting local
questions. No friend of his asked any man to
support him save on his merits as a Republican,
his acknowledged eminent abilities as a man, and
his high character for integrity Had Mr. Bab
bitt and his supporters acted on the same prin
ciple there would have been no objections urged
against him when nominated. For one we should
have supported him cordially. We have all
along declared our determination to abide the
nominations if no issues foreign to Republican..
ism were lugged into the ceases. But flaming
appeals were made just on the eve of the primary
meetings by prints in the interest of Mr. Bab•
bit,—and these appeals were seconded and reit
erated by Mr. B. and his active admirers--to
strike down Mr. Walker because of his staunch
hostility to outlawry and mob violence. This
was not only unfair and unmanly, but it was
anti-Republican. Tbe trick succeeded so far as
the County Convention was concerned, but we
make bold to tell the authors and instigators
thereof that it will succeed no farther. They
have "thrown down the glove," and there be
those whJ have taken it up and will meet them
defiantly. We bold Mr. Babbitt responsible for
the hitrodnotion of disturbing issues into the
mesas, and he may am well make up hie mind
that he will in no sense be the gainer. -*
Rnt g , Ripperisal" was mot the only element
which combined against Mr. Walker. It is an
incontrovertible feet that there were 40 delegates
instructed or pledged for Mr. Walker at the pri
mary meetings, and it is since kn,wn that he re
ceived three votes from delegates who were
elected without reference to Congress,
and who
were generally counted against him. Bow then
did be lose the nomination? We answer with
out the fear of successful contradiction by the
trading and bargaining between Mr. Babbitt and
two or three candidates for County awes; where
by the delegates from three or four of Walker dis
triets were transferred to Babbitt under the Aim.
sy cover of a ballot. This was done, too, in the
face of positive instructions and solemn pledges.
Shall such perfidy insure to the advantage of those
who concocted it ? We think not, if we under.
stand the popular eentiment. The indignation
among the constituents of these recreant dele.
I gates is loud and deep and it will not be 'moth,
ered by any amount of palaver and sophistry.—
There is open and wide-spread rebellion in the
camp and it will most assuredly overwhelm with
shame and defeat the conspirators who have thus
contrived to suppress the wishes of the people.
Knowing, as we do, all the dishonorable eon
duet of the opposition to Mr. Walker, we are not
disposed to submit tamely. We enter our pro.
test in advance against the nomination of Mr.
Babbitt, and we have fully resolved to oppose
him if nominated. We are ready to stiffer the
consequences of sash action, and nothing car in
duce us to swerve an ineh from what is clearly
the path of duty. "If this be treason make the
most of it." We shall never strike our colors
to the flag of an imbecile and corrupt politician
to please any party."
In addition to this, if the reader will turn to
our advertisements, be will see that one of the
gentlemen who submitted his name to the eon.
Tendon as a candidate for Sheriff, and was of
worse beaten, has concluded to appeal from that
decision to the people themselves. We are sorry
for our friend, M'lsatti, but like poor Tray,
having been found in bad company, he must take
the consequences.
DROLUITS.—The Lebanon, Tenn., Whig, says
that John J. Crittenden, who is on a vihit to that
town, disavowed all aspirations for the presiden
cy, and said he would not accept a nomination if
tendered to him. Very probable ; John J. Crit.
tendeo can see very plainly - that there is neither
honor nor profit to accrue to himself by becoming
a candidate for the Presidency in the present
state of the opposition to the Democracy. With
Seward in the field, bent on rallying around him
the sectional elements of the country—with Cam.
eron figuring in Pennsylvania to became the can•
didate of the 'Foilsmen and place hatitlrs—with
Chase, of Ohio, looking to outwit them both,
and the friends of "John Cbules," still sanguine
that he has elements of popularity above all oth,

like Crittenden should announce that he is no

markable spectacle of folly and fatuity that has
ever appeated in American politics. We turn
to a more tpleasing subject. In Kentucky, as
able a statesman as Douglas, and a truer and
better one,,with a more hopeful future, has spo'
ken a graceful, and eloquent address, which goes
home to the very hearts of the Democracy. John
C. Breckidridge manfully defends what Stephen
A Douglas, in his passion and vanity, so impo.
tently assails. The gallant young Kentuckian,
already so high in the affections of the Ameri.
can people, could not have appealed to his cows
, trymen at a more fitting time, or in fairer con.
',treat to his Illinois rival. He vindicates with
unauswersitle argument the original policy of the
Administratiqn of admitting the State of Kant

proviso—& measure which would have stifled
further agitation and dug the grave of faction—
a measure which Stephen A. Douglas defeated !

Of course they do—nobody disputes that; nor
have we bad any thing to say about the "owner

On the contrary we are ready to assert, if it will
ease our extemporary, that the establishment

Republican majority of the county to their lust

of what we assert, acid some day, in order to

KANSAS.—As predicted several times in our
columns, the people of Kansas hive rejected the
English bill, and have thus determined to re
main a territory. That there are a small faction
in. that territory that desire to put on the insig

think it is now plain that the mass of the people
are satisfied to remain a territory for the present,
and allow Uncle Sam to foot the bill. While a
territory the expenses of.ciervernment are paid
out of the United States Treasury, but once be
come a State, and the people themselves have to
bear the burthens of taxation. These reasons
doubtless has had a controlling influence in the
decision just made.

This is a cue of "generous confidence," or super•

newspaper literature. An honest country bump•

pals in strong terms the imputation implied by
the bill in off.aet, and says that "the charge pre.
(erred and the records made on the court flee by
the ingrate Carter were both concocted with the
deliberate purpose of extorting black mail, or in
other word., to deter the undersigned from en
deavoring to collect money advanced by him to
