The K. N. Convention in Philadelphia. For the past week, the Newspapers have, very generally, been flooded with, what purports to be, proceedings of the Know Nothing convention, as it is termed, now assembled in Philadelphia. The N. Y. Tribune contains lengthy articles on the subject, all, of course, tending to the disparagement of the convention, and unfavorable to the order. Now the belief of thoso best posted on tho subject is, that the Tribune, hard run for something to excite the public mind, has tho reports made to order, and seasoned to tho taste. "We are inclined to think that such is the fact.

Of one thing we are certain and that is, that tho great majority of delegates wont into the convention, with a conservative spirit, and with a determination to keep aloof from thoso sectional prejudices, which will unquestionably ruin the movements, if attached to it. Of this we have spoken before, and have urged it upon the American party, to let all side issues rest, for the present, and to unite for one great object—restoring the government of our country to the hands of the American people, where it properly belongs. |jy

This can only Jbe doqeby a union of tho whole American party and if the cause is over defeated it will owe its defeat to those ultraists, whether of the North or the South, who persist in dragging into tho light, the slavery agitation and other kindred topics, each alike equally irrelavent to the chief aim of the party. For ourself, wo will ever set our face against all sectional agitators, wherever they may present themselves, and hold them as the worst euornies of tho American party, and of the American people. What we desire is to break down these symptons of old party drill, which have heretofore attained in political campaigns, and to restore the powers of government to tho people, to whom they legitimate belong.

Who that is at all acquainted with the manoeuvreing of party leaders, does not know that tho people have been compelled to leave their interests in the hands of a few, and submit, without a

murmur, to their dicisions, and to vote

for those, whom these wiro workers

This state of thiugs existed too long, so long indeed that tho masses had almost ceased to think for themselves, and had blindly committed their interests -to tho hands of men who felt no interest for them. But we trust this day of vassalage is almostended, that the masses, aroused from their lethargy, will take their own cause into their own hands, and work out their own political redemption* And though clouds and doubt may hover around their ranks for a while, and apparent defeat may cause mens hearts to fail, and fear, yet the sun light of reason will disperse the cloud and doubt, and, coming., .rictory will

^heer them on/in j&eir leal emancipation Oirr fo&£atlj«tb, who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their molt sacred h^norf^ tlje redemption of our glorious land, from British, bondage, Were not discouraged by meeting frequent reverses., Nay, verily, it nerved them rather for mojq earnest resistance, and after years of toil, of privation, and bloodshed, their laborers were crowned with success. Let their example inspire us with the same courage and the same hopes. But without union, there is no strength, therefore, as we have said before, let us hold as our enemies, and as enemies to the cause in which we are engaged, those who will persist in urging side issues upon the true American platform, for unless we are freed from these party harpies, our land will soon be not worth inhabiting, our institutions not worthy of honoring. ...

'LAXD OFFICES CLOSED.—The Washington Star says the Secretary of the Interior has just ordered the Land Offices at Dixon, Chicago, Quincy, Edmundsville, and Palestine, Jlls., to be closed, and the books and other documents to Springfield, where tho lands formerly for salo at those offices will hereafter bo subject to entry. An existing law makes it obligatory to close all offices whereat the quantity of land for sale falls below 100,000 acres, and to transfer the remaining business of such offices to others in their vicinity.

Aid and Comfort for the Kitchen.' We were shown, on Saturday, by Mr. TJ. Shewmaker, of the firm of Shewmaker Co., what might be considered tho "he plus ultra" of cookingstoves. This is tho "Economy Stove" advertised in another column, and possesses superiority over most others that wo have seen, in several particulars, not theleast of which is the malleability and thickness of tho plates, which prevents almost the possibility of breakage by heating. Then, again, the chambers are so arranged, and dampers so adjust-

(ILLS.) COURIER.—We

see by the last Courier that Mr. Geo. C. Harding, has associated himself with Mr. Harr, and is

handsome paper. We are* sure -the readers of the .Courier will lose nothing in this accession. Mr. Harding is a chaste, clear artd sensible knight of the quill and "Sable well.'If there was ever a young man (but, hold, he has lately been married—consequently he must lose that youthful phrase,) that \ye desire prosperity to favor, it is George. We say this for two reasons: 1st. Because he.is worthy of it 2d. We (the Junior) claim the honor ot instilling into his young and expanding mind, tho first principles of "the art preservative of all arts!" and know his habits.S

Here's luck to you, George may you and your better half live long, and reap a goodly harvest of the reward of merit.

PhiladelphiftrConffentioiu|

Jjrae New York "Expi^ss" haJahe fotkniring report from tW Philadelphia American Convention, doubtless firom the pen of Hon. James Brooks

TheTriverifwns from this quarter of the "Tribune'' and "Herald," and some o$e papers, in Abolition ami Administration affiliation,doTionor to Munchausen himself. The "Live Oak," "Stockton," "'"Filmore" and "Backbone" stutfare nauseating. The Seward outside effort is to break up the Grand Council—fyit it has not the least prospect of success.

There is no idea of expelling Senator Wilson. If Senators Hunter and Mafon, of Virginia, and Butler, of South «Carolina, can associate with him in the United States Senate, his presence is endurable in a Know Nothing Council.— Northern Know Nothings need not be particular about companions, when Virginia Snators shake hands in public with Seward over his eletion.

Colonel Boiling, of Virginia, a goodnatured Virginia philosopher and planter, has been, it is true, discussing ethnology, and other such interesting and abolition subjects with Senator Wilson, o.i which tlie Virginian has read and thought much, and the Massachusetts Senator but little, but in a good natured way. The Virginian don't think much of the negro raco, and the Maasachusetts Senator does think much of it, and they are likely to agree only to disagree.

The ["platform work, of which it is thought there must be one, is a work of some difficulty, to be sure, but of no more than the usual difficulty. The blacker it is the better in some quarters, and the whiter, it is the better in others. In such cases, at Baltimore, it has been inlaid in the most Mosaic manner, but now it is likely to be laid in the enigmatical manner* it.n

A large majority of the Northern delegates are sound, sensible, right-think-ing men, and there are only a few fireeaters 'frogn th6 South, and they don't mean to eat too much fire. There has been no sectional caueussnig whatever. Southern menjind Northern men might mingle on the be^t terms together.

There is a difficulty on part of Massachusetts, Michigan, and in Northern Indiana, and" Northern Ohio—which would like to have a strong antislavery platform but in Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and other free States, nothing of the like is wanted. New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey pull together as one man, on principles—and with them 'go all the Southern counties on the north side, of the O iv

There is nothing to be done on the "Platform," and nothing can be put on, which will make necessary any sacrifice of principle on the subject of slavery, either from the North or South. 7f

The most of the, delegates here are new men, unversed in practical politics, but there are among them many men eminent in the various walks of life, judges of high courts, governors, and ex-governors of States, members of Congress elect, etc. .'t •=.

The Roman Catholic delegates—with their question ofadmission-—from Louisiana, have given a great deal more trouble than thenegro question. They have been excluded 78 to 44, upon the ground, I presume, that their spiritual and temporal allegiance to the Pope was incompatible with American Independence^ Excluded, though is, perhaps, not the word for by this vote the competing lodges in Louisiana, established on Protestant principles, have been admitted.

THE MASSACHUSETTS LIQUOR LAW.— An opinion—signed by RUFTJS CHOATE, ELIAS MERWIN, SIDNEY BARTLETT and CHARLES G. LORIXG—touching some points of the liquor law, and pronouncing them irregular and Unconstitutional, has been furnished to the wine merchants of Boston.7'
