COUNTY CONVENTION.

At a meeting of the County Central Committee held in Crawfordsviiie, on Saturday, May 2Cth, it was resolved that the Republicans of Montgomery county be requested to meet in Convention, on .....

Saturday, June 23d,

For the. purpose of selecting candidates for the various county offices to be filled at the approaching October election. Come out Republicans, one and all, and aid in the selection of candidates. It is your privilege and your duty to come up and lend helping hand in putting the ball in motion.— Come as townships knowing whonvyou desire placed in nomination, do your voting, allowing others the same privilege, then abide the decision of the majority and all will pass off harmoniously and successfully.".

TIJC Republican Congrcssioiial CouveQfion. The editor of the Review, in his last week's issue, appears to be truly heartsick, and mourns as those having no hope, over the result of the- late Republican Congressional Convention of this district. He wishes to impress upon thesminds of the people that the maneuvering of" that Convention was all trickcry and confusion when, at the same time, he knows-, if he knows anything, that there was never a more harmonious body convened: or more general* satisfaction manifested in the nomination of any Convention but hyenalike he adopts the course indicated in the following extracts—which we clip from liis columns—that lie may, if possible, induce some one to believe, as he asserts, that all was not right—that the Hon. James Wilson was a candidate for re-nomiuation. and th-at tho Republican party of his own comity had1 rejected him. It is passingly strange that a human being, "professing sanity, should attempt right under the eye of more than a thousand of bis own citizens, such a task as he has taken upon himself—that of making them believe a positive falsehood. A falsehood in even* sense of the woi'd. He knows that he has falsified, and we give his own words to prove what wo ssiy. On Saturday preceding the convention, as is generally known, Mr. Wilson addressed his fellow-citizens at the Court-House in this place, at which time he declared positively that he was not a candidate for re-noYnination, and would not be under any circumstancc this the editor or his suhrosa well knew when this slanderous article was being penned. No, w, but this was not enough to confine him to truth—he must say something/and that something must be false jor his readers would accuse him of hypocrisy. Now liear him, and then, if his two first sentences are not a direct contradiction) wo will agree that our assertions are false "The Horr. James Wilson, the present incumbent, would undoubtedly have been nominated had it ttot been for the course pursued by~"some of the delegates from his own couiity." "Although Mr W\\son disclaimed any desirezf being again nominated, some of the delegates from his county took especialil«fia's to show their hostility towardfrlifrn^'""*"l' i. .*

Then again he goes off in a wonderful high-wrought eulogy on the char-

aetcr, eloquence, industry, energy, &c., of Mr. "\yilson. Read t, and allo^w your ^-g^4)aeTc"to tHoycfti* 185S, and

W.iis^jot a can lid iioltM jui§r ofTic^ptho, would' have ttyps people believe him'to be the real bonafidc embodiment of cloqucncc and industry, and a perfect model of virtue. When it will avail nothing, lie willingly applauds him. "His matchless cloqucncc upon the stump, his untiring industry and energy, displayed in the two last campaigns,

him porfect-ly irresistible, and to-day he has more warm hearted friends in the eight district among the IXem.ogracy, his political opponents, than any Republican congressman in the State.— AVitli. all his faults, he is a splendid cinbodimcnt of classical oratory, a genius that can move the hearts of the people, and carry with the impetuosity of'his fervid cloqucncc, the palm of victory over his competitors."

conflict ragingin our country, on more subjects than one besides that between slave and free labor, there is an irrepressible conflict between .a slave code for the territories and squatter sovereignty between the northern and southern Democracy—between Judge Douglas and James Buchanan.. The latter conflict seems likely to result in the extermination of both parties.

jjJSrWc see from the Lafayette Dailv Courier of Tuesday last, that hailstones fell at Corwin, on our railroad, as large as goose eggs. This storm favored Crawfordsviiie with a slight sprinkle of hail, though they were no where, when compared with goose eggs. The largest noticed, probably not ex ceeding a quail's egg in size, and which were abundantly large to satisfy the euriositv of our citizens.

'Meeting' of tlie Republican of IV«IEIsviSie—lancolEi Indorsed in liis .... IVative Slate. [From the Louisville Journal, June 1.] ...

About one hundred and fifty persons assembled in the City Court room last evening pursuant to a call of the Republican Committee. Bland Ballard, Esq., was appointed Chairman, and Henry II. Schaeffer, Secretary.

After an explanatory address by Mr. Edgar Nceham, followed by Mr. Wehle. the following resolutions were adopted:

Resolved, That we approve substantially the platform lately adopted by the Republican Convention at Chicago.

Resolved. That we cordially approve the nomination of Abraham Lincoln for President and Hannibal Hamlin for Vice President of the United States, and we pledge to them our united and hearty support.

Resolved, That in the nomination of Abraham Lincoln, the gallant son of our own beloved State of Kentuck}'. the man who by honest labor raised himself from the'humblcst to the proudest position in life, tlie unwavering opponent of all corruption and trickery, we recognize an illustration of tho nationality, conservatism, and integrity of the Republican party.

Arrangements were made for the organization of a Republican Club, and for the energetic prosecution ofthc canvass.

A committee was appointed to invite Cassius M. Clay to visit the city and fix the time and place for the delivery of an address. It is expected that other gentlemen prominent in the Republican cause will attend and speak on the same Occasion.

After the adjournment of the meeting twenty-six persons signed their names to the Constitution of the Republican Club.

lit'.SINESS DRAGS.

As Congress rapidly advances toadjournment, the struggles of diifernt parties to give matters in which they are interested precedence, results in obstructing all business and at the present rate of progression it would seem that little can be done during the present session. A bill is taken up, partially discussed, and then laid aside to consider some other measure. Thisj goes on day after day, until a vast nuinber of matters are held under discussion, but none acted upon. Mr. 1'essenden indicated yesterday that an adjournment next month was out of the question, and 1 apprehend Tlie great National Anniversary will find Congress still in session, sweating under the midsummer heat.

THE COVODE COMMITTEE.'--

The C-ovode Committee continues to turn up and reveal to the light ot day the corruptions of the present Administration.-. df certain evidence is to be received as truth, it would appear that the vote of Mr. Cox of Ohio was obtained for tho Lecompton Bill by the restoration of a relative to the post of Postmaster of Columbus. These developments are shocking, and show with what facility and by what paltry considerations, the actions of the peoples' representatives are affected.

MR. SEW A RD.

Mi\"Seward returned to the Senate yesterday, looking extremely well, and betraving not the slightest indications of chagrin, much to thedisappointment of tlie Democrats, who hoped to make a martyr of him for their own benefit. Hamlin and himself hada cordial meeting, and I am justified in saying that no one gives warmer support to the Chicago nominees than the Senator from New York.

DOUCLAS1 PROSPECTS.

Douglas' hopes are completely blasted by the action of the Mississipppi, Delaware and Arkansas Democratic Convention in sustaining the seoeders and sending delegates to Baltimore.Georgia and Alabama will follow .suit, and thus frustrate all his schemes.' 'lie is now given up as a lost case, unless his friends, in violation of all precedent, abolish the two-third rule and nominate him by a majority vote. It will then be merely a scrub race for the Presidency. in which Douglas cannot come in ahead. Winslbw of North Carolina is bidding high for the support of the Douglas men, in case the chief can be carried through: He has tried to get in evidence before the Investigating Committee to show that tho -Administration wanted its friends in Illinois to go for the Republicans in order to beat Douglas in 185S. ." TIIE PACIFIC RAILROAD AND THE TAR-

IFF BILL.

The Pacific Railroad bill is considered dead for the session and I fear the Tariff and Loan bill, for want of time, will share the same fate. That is the general apprehension here. It is a disgrace that important subjects, which concern the whole people, should thus be staved off, while, abstractions and the personal claims of Presidential aspirants are discussed ad libitum.

LINCOLN AND HAMLIN AT THE MASTHEAD.—The schooner Experiment, II. M. Brown, came into port last Saturday afternoon with a flag waving at her masthead, on which was inscribed the names of Lincoln and Hamlin. The shameful neglect of the Democratic party to keep .our-diarbors in decent repaii', thereby involving the loss of. many precious lives and much valuable property annually, has had a tendency to direct the votes of sea-faring men in favor of a policy and a party which will benefit them sooner or later.—[St. Joseph (Mich.)

Terrible Tornado in Illinois and Iowa -—ISO persons liilled—Over 20© people wbunded-Towns,

Tillages, Kailroad Trains and Warehouses Demolished. CHICAGO, June From telegraphic messages received last night & this morning, we learn tho following particulars of tlie tornado on Sunday last.

Tlie first heard of it was between Marion and Cedar Rapids, Linn co., Iowa, going northeast to southeast in three different veins, crossing the track of the Chicago. Iowa & Nebraska railroad several times at Lisbon, a railroad station, all the warehouses and the village were completely demolished. A train of ten freight cars, heavily loaded, was lifted bodily from the track and dashed to pieces. Before reaching here we learn that 17 persons were killed. From this point one vein ofthc storm passed north of'Mcehanicsville, demolishing eveiything in its course, and killing 16 persons. It next took in its course Union Grove, killing in that immediate vicinity 13 persons, 4 of them belonging to one family of the name of Hatfield, and destroying the house of David Miller, killing him and a portion of his family. It then struck the town of Camanche, on the Mississippi river, at which point the loss of "life is much greater than first stated.- From all accounts there can not be less than 55 persons killed.— Some reports state a still larger number, but bodies cannot be found. There was also 125 wounded—some fatally and ten more missing.

A large lumber raft from Chippewa river, manned by a crew of 14 men. having 2 women on board, tied up opposit Camanche town, was completely scattered, and all lost. The names of the dead at Camanche, as far we are able to ascertain are as follows: Mrs. Amelia Davis and son, Elizabeth Westpliall and ehiHJ. Hannah Cumin, A. Ilooft, Mary Green leaf. Emily Rathbonc, D. WagonciyD. Saltenb.urg, Phillip Pepper, Margaret Philal, Magaret Foss. Mary Foss, Eli .Mill.son. Mrs. Geo. Bainham. Mrs. JamesStatenbergh. Geo. Ash, Mr. Ivendriclc, L. D. Bigeiow, L. Jacob. Mr. Eli and child, Mary Crapp. a child of Geo. W. Chase—others not identified.

The tornado is known to have traveled a distance of ninety miles in Illinois, doing an incalculable amount of damage to property. The loss of life cannot be less than one hundred and fifty. During the entire day yesterday two trains were run ever}* hour from Clinton to the scene of desolation through the aid of an efficient committee. and much relief was rendered.

WASHINGTON, June 4.

It is officially stated that the Government will save a million of dollars by tho purchase made of coal privileges in Chiriqua, from Ambroze W. Thompson. The contract was made by the Navy Department, and only needs confirmation by Congress.

There has been no determination as to the successor of Mr. Daniels, on the bench of the Supreme Court., The names which have been mentioned in that connection are the result of mere speculation. ..

It is probable that the Japanese will not leave before Thursday, so that their visit to Buffalo will be omitted from the programme.

It will be rccollccted that the Pacific Railroad Bill was recommitted by the IIor.se to a select committee on the subject, in order to remove the difficulty growing out of the power proposed to be bestowed on the grantees and to render the franchise more secure. .•

This morning in the Committee, Mr. Fenton affixed an amendmont which was unanimously agreed to, providing that the grantees "of their associates shall not be, or become, vested with any grant, right or interest secured by the bill otherwise than in a corporate character and capacity to be first acquired by them, or such of them.- as shall accept the terms and conditions of the act and state the jurisdiction in and through which the contemplated Railroad shall be constructed.

SEWARD IfV VERMONT. •-. A correspondent of the New York Tribune says of the sentiment in Vermont—the delegate from which State have been assailed for not voting for Mr. SEWARD at Chicago:

We doubt whether if the Republican votes of Vermont had been polled, that Mr. Seward could have got a majority of them in favor of his nomination.— He has warm friends and many admirers in that State, who would be glad to see him President but for several months there lias been an apprehension among them, which was gradually acquiring tho force of 'a downright conviction, that lie. would be defeated if nominated, and therefore-it was their wish to see other man nominated. We believe that no nomination would be more satisfactory to them than Lincoln—unless,perhaps^CassiusM.Clay s. The Republicans of Vermont ate well' satisfied with the result of the Chicago Convention. The Democrats are disappointed, and, as a correspondent wi'ites'to'its "knocked end ways."

...

York Delegation and Douglas.

The New. York Tribune of Tuesday contains the following: The belief is more and more gainfhff ground in circles

likely

to be well in

formed, that the New York leaders of the Democracy have east the last te they ever intend to east for Dou^lasand that they will array themselves at Baltimore in June around the standard of their own beloved Soft Ex-Gover* nor. This they would probably havedono at Charleston, deserting Judge Douglas on the fourth or fifth ballot, had it not been for the peculiar circumstances of their admission—to accomplish which the vote of the Douglas Northwest was essential. Afterwards, the secession of the Cotten States gave them no alternative but to remain with the Douglas majorit}r,and vote, as they did vote, to prevent the nomination of Judge Douglas by a two-thirds majority of ail present.
