Of Mr. Robeson, wo have nothing

propriety of putting a man in office

of the office, last week, to take part in
the deliberations of freemen for the rescue of our beloved Slate from the dominion of slavery and rum. While we abhor the system of conventions, we admit the necessity, at times, of combined effort to resist the encroachments of enemies. It was not a convention of. office seekers or ofJSce holders. It was aeonvention of freemen, for tho promotion of freedom. Tbe
nomination of offlccs was merely incidental to the chief end of the convention. Indeed, but few seemed to take any interest in it. When we say the convention was Urge we mean all wc say. How large, we can not tell, but their must have been some 000 persons there. On
Wednesday night, the two largest Halls in the City, were crowded the Washington Hill and the Masonic Hall. We attended the Washington Hall and heard several eloquent and patriotic speeches, aome say that the Masonio 1 1 all was occupied by the
Know Nothings. Of course we don't know, for we were not there. Young
Brown of the Sentinel ought to know, for he climbed upon the necessary in
the rear of the h?, nnd peeped into
the window, until he was brought
a down by brick bats. All that we could learn, was that the hall was crowded. . On Thursday, in addition
to this largo crowd, the cars, from ev ery direction came crowded.

( ZILL KIM I One of the principal leaders of the pro whisky, pro slavery, and pro Cath olic party of this county, was herd to say, soon after the assault of Mr. Rob
eson, that he wished to God ho (Mr.
R.,) had killed the d d aon of a
b b. Of course he does, such has
been the wish of the murderers of this
county for several yean. And some of them are none too good to.kill us if
they could only get a license to do so. 1hy havo killed many of our early associates others are fatally wounded and ean linger but a little longer. They are already worse than dead. And why not kill us? Men of more ullent and who might have been mora useful, have fallen by their hands. Wc will only say, that they may not hope to allure us into their dens of death, nor do we believe that the oft repeated prayer, that Ool will damn us, will be heard. We aro fully cooCdent that while our services are needed on earth, God will prolong our life. If the ends of our being can better be subserved by our death, he will ptrmit some one in his madness to take us hence, but we fear not that it will be to associate with drunkards and and liars and murderers in another world.

He complied with the request, and delivered an addrtss so opposed to all real pro ress, as even
to offend the stagnant conservatism of the Old Dominion. The Lynchburg Virginian, while it commends the literary character of the address speaks thus of its nentiments: 'Mr. Mitchel denies the progress of mankind, sneers at civilization, and
lauda what aro called tho dark ages. II even moro than doubu whether there has been progress in the natural science, and in tho useful and ornamental arts, and fancies he sees, in the motemorphoses ol Ovid, the adumbration of the astronomical system of Copernicus, und t lie geology of Sir Chita.

THE BT7KQ KK0CKZS OUT. Canaan, Ind. We still have a number of incidents here, bearing on the temperance question. A few more of these I propre to send you from time to time, fo publication, if they will advance oui glorious cause. In the neighborhood of D ;
village situated on the plank road, a
,V-w miles from this place, lives oh. Mr p . He is said by the oldet citizens of the place to have been, ii his earlier days, a faithful and usefu meinbtr of the M. . Church. Bu lie began to take his drams, thinking ho could cither drink or let it alone, tnd that a dram could nol hurt ant man especially as it was then tin fashion of the day. Soon, alas, thi appetito gained the mastery of him. For years "he scarcely dtew a sobei breath," but kept whisky by tho barrel, especially for his own ue. Last August the Methodists held a camp-meeting near, this place. On Saturday, old Mr. P was seen wending his way to the ground, tremulous with the weight of years, but moro from the use of liquor. At tlx meeting he became very much concerned for tho welfare of his soul, anc sought a placo in the Church. Dut there was one great objection to hi reception there, as alo to his conversion. He had left at home his goJ, that idol to whom he had k often bowed a barrel of whisky and whose power he bad po often tacitly acknowl edged as sufficient to get him down, if it could not lift him up. Some friendr learning these facts projiosed thai Bacchus should be decapitated." to the proposition was made that th "old man khuuld knock o.T part of tht
'ie could riot socceid.vo he knocked out he bung and h t it all run out. " s Since then ho is sober, and fn Lis ight mind, the bible is found to occupy t prominent plae in his house, und ouch to engage his attention. I have gathered a ffw liquor items, 'torn our own vilhigo which I may give tt somo future day, though no liquor s sold here, and none drank.only some iroes, a little secretly, or unJer the 'overt of darkness. LISOB. We owe our eoi respondent an apolgy. By ome im-ans this excellent etter got in the wrong "pigeon hole" vheru it has Iftid for tuonlha. Zu. CUfCUKATI JtaJtKTI " ClscusATi, July 17, '54.
