THE TWO UErUUMCAN CONVENTIONS IK COAL CREEK. Our readers will recollect that in 1856 the Black Republican party manufactured two Frccmonts, the one a second Mesi&h, the rentable individual that caught aforlorn bumble bee on the Rocky Mountains, a miracle in the eyes of that party, the othI cr a scapegoat. Since that time the Republicans have adopted a new canon to their faith, they now believe that two make one. a kind of improvement on the trinity faith. On last Saturday, two conventions were held in Coal Creek township. One in the Mcharry neighborhood and one at the precinct managed by W m. Krug.

GENERAL NEWS SUMMARY. Sw Fraacuoa California, haa lost its cooatr jail and 9100.000 paid therefor, becaaae the deed «f the land OB which the buildup stood was not properly signed and recorded. —The Albany moulders, who had been oat of work for several nonths, in consequence of a strike to which employers will not yield, have now become desperate in their idleness and several dangerous assaults are recorded as having been made, on several recent nights, upon such of the craft as continue to labor at the old standard of wages. One man has been shot in the side and then struck down with a bludgeon, on a public street, and another was shot at while standing near a window in his own house. .. ." —An express train from Buffalo to to Rochester, on the New York Central Road, last Sunday night, ran 54 miles in 60 minutes, making two stops, taking in wood and water atone of them. The inning time was over a mile a minute, wheh for so long a distance is unprecedented in this couutry. —There are 245 gaslight companies in the United States, with an aggregate capital of $40,000,000. The price of gas ranges from $2,50 to $7 per thousand feet. There are but comparatively few instances, however, where the price exceeds $4 —The aurora of the 28th ult., was seen as far south as Galvaston, Texas, where it was visible at o'clock in the evening.— It lasted about fifteen minutes. This phenomenon is very rarely seen in that locality, and it was at first quite generally attributed to fires on the Prairies.

S TRONG ESTIMONV AGAINST

Br.ACK E

PUBLICANISM.—Geo. S. Hillard, Esq., one of the Editors of the Boston Courier, now traveling in Europe, has addressed to that paper an interesting latter upon the life and character of the late Rufus Choatc. Speaking of Mr. Choate's course in sustaining the Democratic tickct at the last Presidential election as "a heavy blow and great discouragement" to the "Republican party," he remarks: "It is certainly a stubborn fact for the Republicans that among the dead—for wc will only deal with them— the wisest and most far-seeing men in New England have been opposed to the anti-slavery agitation I mean Judge Prescott, Mr. Mason, Mr. Webster, and Mr. Choatc. It was a striking proof of Judge Prescott's sagacity —than whom New England never gave birth to a wiser or better man—that when the first anti-slavery resolutions were passed by the Massachusetts legislature, he expressed his regret, and said it was the beginning of mischief. This fact could be met only in two ways either that these men, whose judgment would have been deemed of the highest value, if not absolutely conclusive, on any other point, were mistaken in this or that, from some base and unworthy motive, they suppressed their real convictions and expressed those which they did not believe to be true. Against Mr. Mason and Judge Prescott, such charges would have been simply ludicrous how opposition

cruelly and persistently they were made against Mr. Webster and Mr. Choate is well known. They are now gone where cruel indignation can no longer lacerate their hearts and posterity will do justice alike to their conduct and their motives."

This testimony comes from a conservative Whig, and refers to the conservative sentiments of the leading minds in the old Whig party. What a contrast is it with the course of the small potatoe opposition politicians, such as Defrees aud company, who, while professing conservative views, arc constantly employed in dirty abuse of the Democratic party, the only organization national, constitutional aud conservative. If they were honest, they would follow the examples of Clay, Webster and Choatc, who saw no hope for the country but in the maintainancc of the Democratic party.—State Sentinel.

YOUNe MAN ATTACH YOURSELF TO THE DEMOCRACY. It i« important for every Wang MM to •taai right ia- po!it»e»aa wWf» o* «ther matters. Tbose «bo jiiB th* Deatmey eonnect themselves with a permanent organisation. The party i* *o co-existent with the foundation of our Republican institutions, and three quarters of a century has so.entwined it in the institutions of our country that its existence is fixed and irrevocable so long as our government exists. It has been opposed by various parties in their turn, some of which have had temporary triumphs, but they ultimately fell under the conquering march of the invincible Democracy. The waves of fanaticism have beaten against, and have sometimes almost seemed to engulf it, hut animated by the eternal principle of justiee to all classes and conditions of men, it has ever risen in majesty among the raging billows. It has been opposed by the eloquence of Clay and Webster, and others of less note, but it haa withstood the assaults of all, and the very last acts of these statesmen were to confess their errors and commend the Democracy. Wc may be easily outnumbered for a time, but triumph will soon follow. We have shaped the institutions of our country from its foundation, and point with pride to our handiwork, and it is the destiny of tbe party to guard, protect and uphold the nation uutil the last line of liberty has been written upon the record of time.

The following gives a historical view of the opposing parties of the country, from the earliest period to the present time.— The opposition to the Democracy since the organization of tbe government have passed the following laws:

The "Alien Law,'' in 1798, giving the President—John Adams—tbe power to order from the country any unnaturalized foreigner he might deem a suspicious person.

The "Sedition". Law," passed in 1798, by which any personfcho wrote or published anything agains the President or members of Congress, was liable to be heavily fined and imprisoned, on conviction in the United States Courts.

An act passed in 1798 extending the term of naturalization of foreigners from four to fourteen years.

They passed the General Bankrupt Law in 1841, which enabled such persons who desired to do so, to repudiate all^their old debts.

They favored the high tariff of 1842, taxed the farmers, mechanics, and laboring men and those engaged in commerce, heavily—for the benefit of a few manufactures in New England.

These arc all the important laws the Opposition ever passed. Every one of them was repealed iu less than four years after the passage.

The opposition to Democracy was never continued in power by the people more than one term.

Tlicy never elected but four Presidents: John Adams in 1796. John Qtiincv Adams in lS'24. Win: Henry Harrison in 18+0. Zachary Taylor in 1X48. The following Presidents were elected by the Democracy against the efforts of the

His triumphal march through Pcnnsylvania-his reception at Pitsburgh and his cordial welcome at Columbus, has been heralded by the telegraph and press in advance of his arrival. The enthusiasm of his friends in the Queen City, on the occasion of his reception Friday night, was no less boundless. The carriage in which he was fconveyed from the Depot to the Burnet House, was besieged on all sides, and the streets were liteaUy blocked up by the enthusiastic throng.—Laf. Ctntr.

But in this elevated region, and especially at this period of tbe year, the aqueous vapors must most frequently pass into thc state of minute particles of ice or snow floating in the air, simlar to-those which gives rise to the halos they form, as it were, a kind of semi-transparent mist. These half-frozen fogs conduct thc electricity to thc surface of the earth, near the pole, and are at the same time, illuminated by these currentK of electric discharges. In fact, all observers agree in asserting that the Aurora Borealis is constantly preceded by a mist, which rises from thc pole, and the margin of whicb, less dense than thc remainder, is colored the first and, indeed, it is very frequent near the pole in the winter months, and especially in those where there is an abundance or vapor in the air.

SALTLAKE.

Mr. Greeley, in one of bis letters to the Tribune, from Utah, gives the following concerning this body of water:

That this Lake should be salt, is no anomaly. All large bodies of water into which streams discharge themselves, while they have severally no out let, arc or sho'd be salt. If one such is fresh that is an anomaly indeed. Lake Utah probably receives as much saline matter as Salt Lake but she discharges it through the Jordan and remains herself fresh while Salt Lake, having no issue save by evaporation is probably the saltiest body of water on earth. The ocean is comparatively fresh even the Mediterranean at Leghorn is not half so salt.

I am told that three barrels of this water ycild a barrel of salt. that seems rather strong, yet its intense saltness, no one who has not had it in his eyes, his nostrils, can realize. You can no more sink in it than in a clay bank, but a very little of it in your luugs would suffice to strangle you. You make your way in from a hot, rocky bcach over a chaos of volcanic basalt that is trying to the feet but at a depth of a yard or more you have a fine sandy bottom, and here the bathing is delightful.

The water is of a light green color for ten or twelve rods then "deeply, darkly, beautifully blue." No fish can live in it no frog abides it few birds are ever seen dipping into it. The rugged mountaius in and about it—just such scraped and seamed and gullied precipiccs as I have been describing ever since I reached Denver— have a little fire and cottonwood, or quaking asp, in their deeper ravines or behind their taller cliffs, but look bare and desolate to the casual observer and these cut the Lake into sections and hide most of it from view. Probably less than a third of it is visible from any single point. But this suffices.

The Britiah Ministry, consisting of fiftoenhigyy educated noblemen and com•ppweaeble to write intelligibly. The Queen's Speech, read by commission on the 13th ult., at the prorogation of Parliament, is scarcely good English, and, at all events, is disfigured by ridiculous repetitions. Tbe Cabinet are the joint authors of that composition, llie commencement runs thus: "We are commanded by her Majesty to release you from further attendance in Parliament, and at the same time to convey to you her Majesty's acknowledgments." The repetition of "her Majesty" is to prevent the Queen being named as she or her, as if she were an ordinary person! This may seem absurd etiquette, but the fact is as we state it. Here is another sample, with "her Majesty" thrice in one sentence: "A plenipotentiary would be sent by her Majesty to assist at such Conferences but her Majesty had not received the information to decide whether her Majesty may think fit to take part in any such negotiations." And again, "It will be her Majesty's earnest endeavor to promote their internal improvement, and to obliterate the traces of those conflicts which her Majesty witnessed with such deep concern." Also,

The financial arrangements of that portion of her Majesty's Empire will continue to engage her Majesty's serious attention." Finally, wc arc told that "The happiness of her Majesty's people is the object nearest her Majesty's heart."

—In thc town of Franklin there still exists thc identical library that Dr. Franklin gave it for adopting his name. lie was asked to give a bell for the meeting house, but he preferred to give a library, declaring that thc bell had more sound than sense. Thc books were among the best standard English works, one or two hundred in number, and most of them arc still preserved.

YOUNG MES fJfjTlIE FRENCH ARMY. A writer for the N. Y. Times, who saw the recent triumphal parade in Paris, says:

I was particularly impressed by the apparent youth of the men. The ranks seemed to be made up of youths between eighteen and twenty-five and there was something intensely peculiar in the stern, calm, resolute air of these young men, sunburned, swarthy, and stamped with the special signet of war. The Emperor looked very much careworn, but bronzed and martial in bearing, and in better apparent health than ever. The Zouaves and Turcos were an exception to the general seriousness of demeanor of the troops. There is something fascinating as well as admirable in the carriage of the Zouaves, they look so lithe and gay—like not unamiablc leopards, at once playful and terrible. The Turcos are very barbaric, and their wild, barbaric music of clarions and tam-tams added to this air in thcin. Many of them arc true Ethiopians. A Southern friend at my side whispered to me that they would be "an invaluable corps at New Orleans." I answered him, "Yes, they would make capital field hands, but might require gather too much overseeing."

EX-PRESIDENT TYLER.—A correspondent of the National Intelligencer, who saw the Ex-President at Old Point Comfort, last week, says that—

He is living a mile or two from that place, in a neat cottage, as I understand, with no pretensions to style or ceremony. He has grown somewhat older, of course, since

saw him last, in the White House,

in 1841, but still walks with the ease and elasticity of a much }-ounger mau. By his side was his handsome wife.

N OT EAD.—We

notice a paragraph go

ing the rounds of the papers to the effect, that a man by the name of llaynes, of Grayvillc, while on his way to Pike's I'oak, expressed a determination to kill the first Indian he saw. Availing himself of the epportunity, lie likewise carried his threat into execution. Two hundred savages heard of it, pursued and overtook him, and literally flayed him alive! This story being credited everywhere, it is not a little remarkable that Mr. llaynes is still in Grayvillc, didn't shoot any Indian, and insists that he isn't dead by a d—1 of along shot.—Olnet/ {III.)

1" RIGHTKNEI).—During thc continuancc of the Aurora Uorealis on Sunday night last, quite a number of persons were seriously alarmed, and wc heard of several ladies at the Bethel Camp-meeting, a 'few miles west of this place, being so alarmed as to be taken out quite ill, imagining that the end of time was at hand. The greatest case of fright we heard of from this cause was that of a young man who was at the camp-meeting in company with a couple of ladies, and did not observe the appcaranco of the heavens until he drove out of thc woods on his way home, when, looking up, he became so alarmed that lie jumped out of thc vehicle in which he was riding, tied his horse to thc fence, and ran back to the camp. We did not learn whether he left thc ladies behind or not, but suppose that lie did.—Medianicsburg (I'a.) Journal.

days ago,

John Short was convicted before Justice Lnsworth of an offense, and sentenced to pay a fine or go to jail a short time. Three days were allowed him to get the money, during which time he was at large. Yesterday morning he went to the office of the Justice and stated that he could not procure the neoessary funds. A mittimus was then made out, and with it John went to jail without the aid of an officer. He had every opportunity to escape, but as he' had given his "holy word of honor to the Judge, did any one suspect he would be such a thief of the world as to do it?—Detroit Advertiser. 1
