Harrison, was on the 23rd n't. unanimously nominated as candidate for the Presidency, by a Democratic Republican Conven tloaof Maryland, held at Baltimore by Delegates from every county in tbe State. The Convention nominated John Tyler of Virginia for Vice Presi dent. Venly, there is a spirit abroad wbach evm - eejtaat ine-peop.e arc more numerous uu me i , I oSJce-boldere. Gea. Jaxes Furr.AT, of Cincinnati, died in that city on the 2?th of Dec. W'e tender our acknowledgements to Messrs Hondricks, Tipton, .M'Carty, and Lane, of our Na-t-onal Legislature; and to Messrs. Johnson, M'drtv, and Conwcll of our State Legislature, for the various public documents which they have for- , ... rardedus. Pennsylvania. The Inauguration of Governor Rimer of Pennsylvania took place at Harrisburgh on Tuesday the 15th of Dec. There was near as much pomp, display, and parade, as there would be t the coronation of a King in Europe. Several - f ici. a ,. f i - companiesof Infantry, Kiflemen. Cavalry, &c. were , , a , . inMtendance. After the oath of office was admintstered, Gov. Ititner delivered an inaugural ad dress, which is characterized with good sense. He immediately appointed Thos. II. Burrowes of Lanaster Co. Secretary of State, and James Todd of Fjette Co. Attorney General of the CommonTfiltb. The Harrisburgh Anti .Vasonic Convention. W tee it stated in several of the Whig and Van Burtn papers, and among them the National In telligencer, the especial organ of the Whig Candid ate, Daniel Webster, that twenty or thirty of the principal members of the Democratic Anti Mason ic Convention of Pennsylvania, seceded from the Conrention when Gen. Harrison was nominated as candidate for the Presidency. In order to show low far the friends of the Whiff Candidate, and tie friends of the Office holders Candidate go to fccive the public relative to the abiding popularity te Democratic Republican candidate of the peo'j ! - - !e, we copy the following remarks from the Harritburgh Intelligencer, printed where the Convcncn was held, and where the "whole truth" must k known: That "some twentv or thirty Whijrs. friends of niel Webster, seceded," is a wanton and coldMooded falsehood, and will excite nothing but sur prise and disgust in the community. There were bu tvro or three persons in the convention in favor f Webster's nomination, and but one man seceded, and he did so, not because he will not support the finination. but in conseouenee of his instructions. The abuse of the Democratic Republican Conven or!, because the members were not fools enough to nominate a second electoral ticket for the same candidate, can excite nothing but pity for the author. The fact is, this is a good sign. The abuse comes from the right quarter. It shows the fears of the federalists for the safety of the Magician. 1 hev dread thp finthuei Km nf thn nrnn1p fiir Hefender of the Ciinntrr.

Sir, I sol men lj' entreat you to pause for one moment, and seriously contemplate the evil and dangerous consequences which may re sult from such a course! Consider the high and responsible station to which you have been called by a grateful, hut free and enlightened people, and not only abstain studiously and cautiously, from all interference with elections, and with the free exercise of public opinion, but avoid the use of all doubtful powers, and let your course be such, that in all things you may be like Cassar's wife, above suspicion!

MR. WEBSTER'S LETTER. As a recorder of the news of the day, we lay before our readers, the following letter of Mr. Webster in reply to the Delegates of Allegheny county, Pa. to the Anti Masonic Convention of Pennsylvania, inquiring his opinion upon the subject of secret societies and Freemasonrv trenerallv. In livmir
this before our readers, we must be permitted to uioin kuiii iuis aci oi me "uotf like man, in several respects. It was never known that Mr. Webster was an Anti-mason until this letter, and this one appears to have been written with the View of obtaining the nomination of the Antimasonic Convention of Pennsylvania. It is entirely beneath that independent dignity which we have heretofore ascribed to him, and unworthv in our view, of the great American Senator. As for on r - 168 we know notLinS of t,,e obligations and I ' masonry , yei we oo not oeiieve that there ie thin n their oaths, which make bad men of tnem oranenate them in the least from the love and 6UPPort of their country in the days of its necessity. We do not believe there is any thing in "the administration of theiroaths, or the imposition of the obligations of Masonry" which requires a prohibition law. We were ourselves, always opposed to secret societies, caucusses or iuntoes. but we believe that the ballot box is the onlv nlace to correct the evil.

Under the influence of thU conviction, if is my opinion, that the future administration of all sitch Oaths, and the wiposition of all such Obligations, should be prohibited by luiv. I express these opinions, gentlemen, with the less reserve on this occasion, inasmuch as they have been often expressed already, not only to some of your own number, and many of your friend, but to all others, also, w ith w hom I have at different times, conversed on the subiect. Of the political principles and conduct of the Antimasons of Pennsylvania, I have spoken freely in my place in the Senate, and under circumstances which took from the occasion all just suspicion of any indirect purpose. The opinions then expressed, are unaltered. 1 have ever found the Antimasons of Pennsylvania truejto the Constitution, to the Union, and to the great interests of the country. They have adopted the "supremacy of the oas,'' as their leading sentiments, and 1 know none more just, or more necessary. If there be among us any so high, as to be too high for the anthority of law, or so low, as to be too low for its regard and protection, or if there be any, who by any means whatever,may exemptthemselves from its control, then, to that extent, we have failed t mantain an equal Government. Th Snnroman- of the Constitution and the laws, is the very foundation stone of Republi can Institutions; ll it he snaken, or removal from its place, the whole system must inevitably totter to its fall.

M. Johnson has recently settled his long standing account with the U. S. Hank by the payment of a lanre sum. which the directors of the institution, years ago, gave up a dead loss. His nomination for the vice presidency appears to have had one good effect; it has made lum anxious to seem honest, which, we take it. is no inconsiderable improvement. Lou. Jour. ftTV hue the Colonel has his hand in. some of the stockholder of the St. Louis bank would be glad if he would settle his long-standing accoun with that institution. I f he has a disposition to be honest in one case, let hitn be so in the other. The transaction made a great nois at the time, and there were accusations of rank fraud aeainst bim snd orthers.

St. Louis Hep. Masonic. The Gen. Grand Royal Arch Chap ter, and general wrand Encampment of the United States, closed their triennial session in Washing ton city on Thursday last, after a session of four ys. The Hon.

Niies left here in the steamboat for New York last evenincr on his way to take his seat in the Senate of the Uni ted States. e are informed that in making the appointment the Governor did not act upon the in formation communicated by our delegation in the lower House, but upon a communication from the ice President, who presides in the Senate. The American Colonization Societv held its 19th annual meeting in the Hall of the house of Representatives of the United States, Dec. 15tb. From the treasurer's report it appears that about 24,000 of the outstanding debt of the society has been paid during the year, leaving about 9000 yet unpaid. The receipts into the treasury for the year were 51,6C2.95. Cin. Bap. Jour. Cokcrgss. The slavery question and the Michigan question are expected to make warm work. In the House, Friday, Dec. 18, Mr. Jackson of Mass., presented a petition from sundry inhabitants of the town of VVrentham, Mass., praying that slavery be abolished within the district of Columbia. Some were for considering the petition, some for lay ing it on the table, some for throwing itout. It produced a squabbling, angry debate, occupied the whole day, and left undisposed of. Cin. Bap. Jour. TnsTRt'E Lynch Country. By a late decision of judge Irvine at a late session the United States circuit court, fort he counties of Crawford and Iowa, it was settled that all that tract of country, comprised in the counties of Dubuque and Desmoincs, is beyond the control and influence of the laws of Illinois, and in fact under no legal jurisdiction whatever. This decision was given on the case of William Smith for a cold blooded murder at Dubuque, of a person named Woodbury Massey. The murderer was therefore set at liberty, and went awny unmolested. If Lynch should flourish any where, Dubuque and Desmoines are the places. Even his jurisdiction would be better than none; to awe and punish the evil door. Many civil cases were thrown out by the court, for want of jurisdiction. It siupposed that the counties alluded to will fall within the limits of Michigan, and that the attention of Congress will be immediately called to their singular condition. Trial of Abner Kneeland. The trial of Abner Kneeland, editor of the Boston Investigator an atheistical paper, came on yesterday, before the supreme court in session in this city. It will be recollected that he was indicted for blasphemy about two years since, and convicted in the municipal court; from which decision he appealed to the supreme court. I he trial came on, and alter eloquent and learned arguments on both sides, the case was submitted to the jury, who could not agree, eleven being in favor of conviction, and one oppos ed. The case was again tried, with precisely the same result. Wednesday was the fourth time that this case was brougljt before the jury. In the afternoon Judge WildVdelivered a very able and impartial charge, and the jury retired soon after which the court adjourned. Thursday morning the jury came into the court with a verdict of guilty. It will tlius be seen that of forty-eight petit jurors. who after a full hearing, have decided on this case, forty-six have been in favor of the guilt of the pris oner. The offensive lancruafre attributed to Mr. Knee land was not only blasphemous, but disgustingly obscene, and 6uch as should not betoleratsd in any Christian or civilized community, where it is desi rable to preserve the properties of life or the sem blance of reliffion. e hope that the result ol this trial will be a warning to the lmpioun and li centious, and show them that even in this country, where the press is to all intents and purposes as free as the circumambient air we breathe, gross blasphemy and obscenity combinded, will not be tol erated by the public opinion or the laws of the land Mercantile journal. A fire broke out last night, between nine and ten o'clock, on Ninth street, near the Court House, in a Saddletree manufactory, a three story irame; u, and its contents were soon consumed, and the fire spread to the tavern of Mr. Merchant, and several other smaller frames and stables, which were much injured or, destroyed; but after the arrival of tbe fire engines the fire was immediately gotunder.and spread no further. -Cin.

Cin. Post. Internal Improvement. A public meeting was held in Cincinnati, on the 15th ult. to consider the subject of a Rail Road from that, city to Springfield. We have great pleasure in noticing amonc the Res olutions adopted at the meeting, the following: Kesolved, that this meeting is gratified to observe the manifestations of public spirit in the State of Indiana, and the energy there manifested in the prosecution of a work of Internal Improvement.

Some time since a Kentucky editor stated tint we were chiefly indebted to eastern papers for information about the Catholics in that state. But it seems we shall no longer he indebted to that source alone. A prospectus his been is.'ued for The Catholic Advocate, to be published at Bardttown, Ky. lb. The Rev. Mr. Gwin, Gen.

On motion of Mr. Bextox, his motion of Thursday last, that tbe courtesy of the Senate be extended to the Senators from Michigan, by assigning to them seats on the floor, was taken up for consideration. The question being about to be put, Mr- Clay rose and said, that he was not prepared to vote for this motion. For what purpose were these gentlemen to be admitted? Not to take part in the deliberations of the Senate generally, not for the purpose of vo ting. Certainly not. hy then were they to be admitted on the floor? If admitted, to wh it extent are their rights to go? "Were they to be sworn in the usual form or not? ere they to sit in the private as well as the public sessions of the Senate? If to the pri vate session, under what injunctions? In short, he was entirely opposed to any action on this incidental matter, until the principal question, whether Michigan was to be admitted into the States of t lie Union, should be disposed of. He would not now offer any opinion on that principal question; he had not yet formed any. Hut why were these gentlemen to be admitted on the ground of courtesy ? It must be because they have some rights, perfect or quasi, to come there as Senators of Michigan. Putting that out of the question, there was no more reason for admitting them, than anyother gentlemen, when they may apply. lie was apposed to the admission ol the gentlemen, because it implied a right, and he was not willing to prejudge the question which the Senate would be hereafter called on to de cide. It would be, to some extent, a commitment Jot the opinion of the Senate, and would have a tendency to mislead the public mind. lie was opposed, therefore, to any thing which would seem to settle the principal question. 1 or himself, he was ready to enter upon the discussion of that principal question. as to the admission of Michigan, as soon ns anj' gentlemen might be disposed to move it; and wheneverit should he decided, he was willing that all the consequences should follow, one of which would be (he admission of the Senators on the floor, and the administer ing to them of the oath of a Senator. He was not for the inversion of the proceedingsof the Senate, the adoption of the consequences first, and of the rause afterwards. The first ques tion is, is Michigan to be ndmitted into the Union, and has she a right to send Senators? When that was decided, every thing would follow in its natural, appropriate, and legitimate order. Entertaining these views he was compelled to oppose the motion. IIakkisox Convention. In our paper of to-dnv.the reader will find the Address of the Harrison Couvention, to the people oi inai- ... i .1:J I ann. c commenci u to me canuiu pei us.n, of our fellow citizens, of all political parties. It should be remembered, that Gen. Harrison is not the candidate of anyParty,but nominated by former supporters of Gen. Jackson as well as those of Mr. Clay, and will be sustained by them, not on party grounds, but on general public principles. The former supporters and present friends of General Jackeon, have, to a great extent, united with the former supporters of Mr. Clay, in rallying around the banner of the Hero of Tippecanoe. And is it a matter of surprise, that this should be the case. In their support of our present Chief Magistrate, the Western people, w ere actuated by principles of a just pride and generous patriotism. They could not doubt Cen. Jackson's love to his country, for he had periled his life foi that country, on the field of danger. Nor can they doubt Gen Harrison's love to country, for, like the Hero of the South West, he has stood up to battle for it, in its hour of need. Indiana Palladium.
