From several Northern States there will be two sets of delegates. New York. Pennsylvania and Illinois w ill probably send double delegations. hese elegations will be excluded irom the Convention, until their claims are examined 'nd determined on, and in the mean time the Southern Stales having a decided msjority. will probably go to work, pass the "two thirds rule, and thereby virtually coutrol the Convention.

One of Life's Letneuk About fifteen years ago, a yonng man, full of igor, who bad previously been a journeyman carpenter, commenced business in this city on hi ovu account, in the second story of an old frame building, on Vine, below TbirJ street. At that time, steam was not used to any considerable extent in manufacturing building materials. Young men therefore found it Ies difficult to work themselves into business than in these days, when the inventive genius of the country had aoDlied

isteam successfully in almost every deoarttJ2jment of this branch of iaJus'rr. The subject of ibis notice did a very small business, and at first scarcely enough to keep himself employed bat being a pood workman, with steady and industrious Labits, he grew in tbe favor of those who patronized him, and bis buainess increased steadily. Towards tbe close of the first year, be found it necessary to employ several journeymen, and in three or four years thereafter, be ranked as a first class master builder, and for several years maintained this position. A number of edifices which uow adorn tbe city and country, stand as monuments of his efficiency and taste a a mechan ic. Among these, the Woodward High School and Oxford Female Seminary are prominent. Bat he did not bear prosperity well. He was tempted to forsake bis steady babits. Ho yielded slightly at first, just as every man yields, when be steps aside into tbe path that leads to destruction. He took a glass occa- j sionally with a friend. No harm in that. h j thought.

But he overestimated 1 is mor.,1 strength, in this iepect, as most people do. He soou crossed the line on the drunkard's side. Then he became the slave to his passions, and be gradually descended from one degree to another in the scale of dogradation. He now lost the confidence of the pub'ic. His property, of which he had accumulated a considerable amount, bean raul. ,n u,e J'ousehold. 1 he wife and cbilwho once listened inij.atient to bis returning footsteps, and made haste to meet him as he gathered round the happy- fireside. uow trembled when be entered the bouse. and hid themselves from bis presence. A ye.ir or two a?o, death reduced the family circle, which the demon of intetnpeiance had previously broken. One or two of the little out s were carried to the grave, aud subsequently tbe rumaii a of tha broken hearted wife were placed by ttie 8:de of the departed childreu.

Thomas Corwia first addressed the meeting, and for more than two hoars held the large audience in breathless attention- We cannot at this late bcur attempt even an outline of his remarks, but we hope to te able to present the speech eotire as it Was reported for the Ciu cinntii Gazette. After dinner, Hon. R C. ScT'enck addressed the o eetitig iu a most logical and truthful exposition uf the doctrine or fa. lacy of "popu'ar foveie:gu ty.

S .Lan in a char aoteristic speech It was received a3til his speech es are, with admiration a- d apphvis. The audience seemed to appreciate the arguments and eloquent appeals made by the speakers and were evidently confirmed in the correctness of the principles of the party and the necessity of maintaiuiug the organiI zation of the party. "Pistols and Collee for Two." We took oecasiou to say in our paper on Friday, when speaking of the proclivity of Demo crutic office-holders to steal from, the goverument: "It is barefaced impudence for a locoloco to talk about want of honesty ia ai office holder under the present administration. They all steal, 30 fir as our knowledge extends, and that is one of the causes of the expenditures of the government b-iiig swelled fro n forty oi,e to eigiity-o.'.e mil ions per year.

Tt;ey all steal, ic. Now our neighbor must be extremely verdant to suppose that we intended to c' arge him individually with stealing. All office-holders schooled in Democratic political morals have as great skill iu hiding anil covering up their stea'ing as they have iu doing the thing itself. We are therefore not d.sposed to particularize, and if the remark does not hit our neighbor be will not appropriate it himself. But we commenced this article to introduce the following letter from our neighbor: Richmond, Oct 7, 1859. Hon. D. P. IIolloway Sir: In your diily paper, of this morniog, jou gay: "They ("iocofoco office-holders,") all steal, so lar as our knowledge extends." The inference that would naturally be drawn from this, would be, that your knowledge would more like extend to the government officeholder ia your own town, with whom you have daily business intercourse, than to any other; and as l"am what you are pleased to term a "iocofoco" office-holder, I respectfully ask you to specify wherein I have ever stolen or taken Irom the government a single cent that did tot j tstly aad le gitimately belorg to me. If I aia liable to the charge of stealing from the government it can be shown Irom the accounts of my cEce-; and in order that you shall have an opportunity to make out the charge against o:e. I wid give yoa free access to my quarterly account curreufp, and accounts of every description with the governmtnt Those who read your paper would centrally, I presua.e, conciode that you would not charge iiien with steahcg, even for political effect, without some eroand for to doir.tr. I thi&k it nothing more than honorable and (air than von should give the reason for chargirg a'l who hold office under the goverrmeLt as thieves, as I believe I can satisfy yiu that such charge is entirely nnfounded so far as one office-holder .3 concerr.ed. Yery respectfully, JAMES ELDER. We will do our neighbor the justice to say that in the remark we b.d no allusion to h;m, a'.d that we believe he is as honett as any 'oee.foco offieeho Uier wc Lave ever known, acd have en several occasions expressed our apjiroha'ion ef the mi -cer in which he conducts the affairs of his office. We Eever heard him charged wdh stealing, nor do we believe he would steal. In the saaie sense that Paul said the (Jalitians were al! liars. (edo not preteird to say the Gal-tiuns were all locofu cos) we intended to say the office holders ooder i be present oda.kistraticn d:d steal. Bat Bro. K'der wishes us to give ourreefon f.ir believirg that office holders under the present idmii is'rati.m are thieves. Oar reason is ei.eol ! the best ia the world it is because th- v doit. ! Is that satisfactory? lias oar tieiu'.or ever ' "earil of the iheis roiai siua.e ol tie Ltaa i frauds of the Fort Sueliing ras;a'itv of the ' 8a??i!t3 llie r!nJ Q t6T" contracts! liut erua;s ce a ;ts coi cu, mcsc lu.i-ts stentirg. W ed, that s what we said Jocot'-c j morals Were. It ia bicest, in their eyes, to cheat the government O itof tniliions of money, and then become very indignant, if they are accused of stealing. While we except our neighbor from the ge&eral rule that loc foco office-holders do steal, we do charge thai ia one sense ef the word he is not gtsiiikis. for he defends the party which dees the thicg. Whoever saw a lice in his paper condemQ to g these ianneose frauds against tbe government. We a. ay at oar leisure give our ceirb bor ror.r?

We ba t forgotten the extent to which we have extended this article, and will only say ia regard to the letter of oar neiehbor pqblkbed abovj that personally we have no objection to bint as a postmaster or a private citifea, bat as a politician we bever knew a more noecrapaloos falsifier of the troth a more subservient tool ia the hands of a master than he is, and we can prove it, sad ate ready to do it .

He was a man of large stature, great dignity of appearance, and walked with the air of one who was above all acxieties as to things of this world, being evidently tbe possessor of ample wealth. As he passed up Ninth street, on the other side of the way from the fire, he was sainted by two splendidly attired ladies.

The fruit appears improved in yield and quality by being planted in cultivated ground. By selecting the chestnut in putting out ornamental and shade trees, a valuable fruit as well as ornament and shade is to be secured. SZW It is a singular fact that though the Democracy of Maine fonght their recent election squarely and openly on the Douglas platform, the result shows a heavy loss. Last year Bachananism was beaten 8.000, and now Douglasism is 12,000 behind. In the counties marshaled by the Douglas leaders, the Democracy suffer very heavy losses; while in two, where the party stood up for for Lecompton and Buchanan, the party fully hold their last year's vole.
