The Cons: itution says that there area few elderly gentlemen, known as the Whig General Commit- tee of New York, who were not satisfled with the nomination of Mr. Botts for the Presidency in the name of the American people by Mr. Jacobs and another individual, but desired to hear Mr. Botts on their own account, and that he had informed them in substunce that the Democratic party onght to be overthrown; that the sooner it is done the better for the coSntry at large, and that all that is necessary to effect this great work, ‘+ root out cor- Tuption,” and ‘‘inauguratea new order of things,”” is, that - all shades of the Opposition shall be cor- ly united.” - The Intelligencer notices the various gigantic telegraphic projects, land and submarine, now on foot in the world.

Douglas are busily engaged in efforts to prepare the Northern (Democratic) popu- lar mind for an attempt to ignore the two-thirds rule in the approaching Charleston Convention. The fidelity with which that rule has been ad- heted to in Democratic National Conventions bas secured victory after victory to the party, when, had the conventions been less wise and persistent in that matter, defeat would surely have been the party's portion. It has never yet prevented the nomination of any man who could have been elected by the party to the Presidency, and {s the tule of Democratic national conventions because in it exists a surety against the nomination of any one who having numerous adherents among the politicians of the party, is still so deficient in strength with the people, from whom the votes required to elect are to come, as to make it probable that with him, whoever he may be, asa candidate, defeat will be the result. Never was the wisdom of its observance more manifest than in the case of Mr. Stephen Arnold Douglas. There is hardly a disappointed Demo- cratic office-seeker, a removed Democratic office- holder, a notorious Democratic Congressional lot - beyite, or a Democratic plunder-monger in the land, who is not now engayed in seeking to make the country believe that he is far stronger than any one else for the Charleston nomination. Yet it is equally notorious that no other aspirant for that nomination is so positively weak in the States, each and every one of them, from which the Demo- cratic electoral votes must come next year—so weak as that he cannot possibly receive the vote of the delegation of a single such State. Yet his strikers” of all degrees are aiding in his work of screwing delegates from S'ates that are hopeless for the Democracy, up to the point of voting to re- peal the two-thirds rule, and making the nomina- tion by a majority vote, not embracing that of the delegation of a single State certain to vote the Democratic ticket! ‘These plain facts, we take it, are sufficient to show the utter folly of the idea that Mr. Douglas and his partisans can succeed in their anti-two-thirds-rule scheme. As matters now stand, no Democratic nomination could se- cure for hima single State in the election; and with the two-thirds rule abolished to force him on the South, he could not possibly carry a single precinct in any slaveholding State. ————— ‘Tus ComMissiongRsHir or THE GENERAL Lanp Ovrice.—We have every reason to believe that the President has tendered this position, made vacant by the recent resignation of Mr. Hen- dricks, to Judge Hughes, of Indiana, a member of the last House of Representatives, who, it will be remembered, not long since declined a sim- ilar tender of the Comuissionership of Patents. While it is very certain that no better appoint- ment to the head of the General Land Office could be made, the chances are ten to one that Judge Hughes will decline the offer. He left Washington at the close of the last session of Congress determined to remain at home in the practice of his profession, in which he is without a superior in Indiana. Though comparatively a very young man, no other gentleman bas ever made more substantial reputation by two years service in the Congress ot the United States—a rep- utation that must greatly enlarge and strengthen his influence at home, where the active labors of such gentlemen are of far more value to the cause of the Democratic party than they could possibly be elsewhere. We therefore rejoice that his tastes do not lead him to accept a bureau in Washing- ton. The day will come when Judge Hughes, of Indiana, will occupy a large space in the eye of the American public—but the advent of that day is by no means to be hastened by his holding the commissionership of a bureau in the Federal Me- tropolis. The President's compliment to him in- volved in the tender was well deserved, and his steady refusal to bold office here is an additional proof of that fact. —-. --—— < Westeex Bouxpary or MiInnrsota.—Messrs Hutton and Snow, the contractors for the estab- lishment of the western boundary of the State of Minnesota, under date of camp near Fort Randall, Missouri river, Nebraska, Aug. 17, have informed the General Land Office of the completion of the survey on the 4th ult., when they intersected the northern boundary of lowal cLain and 10 links south of post No. 124, and 5chains and 23.56 links west of corner to stations 34 and 35, township 101 north, of range 47 west, where they placed the northwest corner of the State of Minnesota, which is 7 miles, 31 chains and 16 links due east of the middie of main channel of the Big Sioux river, or the northwest corner of the State of lowa. —>—___ Army IngevricEnce.—Brevet Second Lieuten- ant Thomas R.

Y., and report for temporary duty to the super- intendent of the eastern department of the general recruiting service. Leave of absence, for thirty days, has been granted Surgeon Jas. Simons, medical department U.S. Army. —~___ Coxtracts AwaRDED.—The Navy contracts for beef and pork were awarded yesterday at lower rates than several years before. Messrs. Bradley of Wiscons!n, Morris of New York, and Bradley of Pennsylvania, were the successful bidders for Pork, and a New York bidder has the beef con- tracts.

The mines and forests are to be explored, a new college estab- lished at Port au Prince, a lyceum at Jacmel, a theatre erected, emigration of blacks from the United States encouraged, and insurance and lottery enterprises organized. President Geffrard had made a tour of the northern parts of the isl- and, and was everywhere received with enthusi- asm. A correspondent at Port au Prince says: “The changing of this empire into a republic has Thaterially benefitted the country, and the people evince the greatest satisfaction at the downfall of the infamous Solouque and his perfidious Minis- ters. A wholesome imitation of the American forms of law is being introduced, which take ad- mirably well, and will ripen into perfection very soon. -Coffee and logwood are coming to market in fair supply, and a large amount of both still remain in the interior. Trade is improving, and would at this time be very brisk were it not for the health of the port, which is very destructive to foreigners.”” icans of New Jersey held conventions at Trenton yesterday to nominate candidates for Goveryor. After the usual negotiations had been gone through with, both parties united upon Mr. Chas. 8. Olden as their candidate for the gubernatorial ottice. The candidates now on the track for the governor- ship of New Jersey are as follows: E. V. R. Wright, Democrat; Peter J.Clark, Stockton Amer- jean; Chas. S. Olden, Republican and anti-Stock- ton American. Party feeling is at full flow in New Jersey, and if all parties and factions stand by their candidates there is a pretty fair prospect that Gen. Wright will be elected. i> The Richmond Enquirer has a leading editorial of three columnsin length, which is sup- posed to be written by Gov.

They had, how- ever, very little to do, as the best order was pre- served, though several were taken from the square ‘who were disposed to. be noisy. The meeting continued for upwards of two hours, and it is estimated that there were not less than ten thou- sand persons present at any one time, though crowds were arriving and leaving all the time, it being impossible for those on the outskirts to hear anything that wassaid. There were probably not less than fifteen thousand persons in the square during the afternoon. = The meeting was Gi, by the election, on motion of Mr. Chas. D. Hinks, of Mr. Wm. Wood- ward as president, three citizens from each ward as vice presidents, and ten citizens from the city at large as secretaries. A preamble and resolu- tions tothe following effect were then cope f Mr. Hinks, on the part of the committee appoint ch aeeseie same, for the consideration of the meeting: After a ble—wherein is set forth the dele- terious effect produced upon the city by the law- lessness which has so long ev tion of Baltimore, rig! many of their citizens to lose confidence in the ability or willi of the le to t their lives and ae having ie ion to bang like a pall u; the minds of the people; the citizens jeered and scout- ed by their rivals, and greatly censured by their fri of other cities and the country, for so long permitting these grievances to exi: lutions were adopted, ing a combined effort by which the voters of the city of Baltimore may be protected in the exercise of their elective franchise, uncontrolled and unintimidated by any parties or persons; and that any interference th these rights may be visited with the heaviest ities. None but competent, honest and faithful men shall be entrusted with the public offices, and they regardless of all party motives, ties, or predi- lections; they had such men in their midst. and it was their duty to strive, by every lawful means, to place them in corte pf It was then resolved that there should be ap- pointed by the President and Vice-Presidents of the meeting, or a majority of them, a committee of twenty men, consisting of one from each ward, and that these twenty men, together with the President of this meeting, should constitute a “Central Committee,”” who should be authorized and directed to nominate at as early a day as might be expedient and practicable, candidates without regard to party, and to be selected from the best, most reliable, and most com nt men in the community for the following offices, viz: For the Senate of the State of Maryland, 1; for the House of Delegates of the State of Mar yland, 10; for Attorney for the State of the city of Baltimore, 1; for Sheriff of the City of Baltimcr , 1; for Clerk of the Circuit Court of the city of Baltimore, 1; for Jude of the Orphans’ Court of Baltimore. 3; for the First Branch of the City Council, 20; for Justices ofthe Peace, 22; for Constables, 44. And that in selecting candidates for the City Council, Justices of the Peace. and Constables in the re- spective wards, the said committee of twenty-one should call to theiraid and counsel a sub-commit- tee, which they might appoint, of not less than five members from each ward; they to be resi- dents of the respective wards in which they should be appointed; said sub-committees to confer and consult with the said Central Commit- tee of twenty-one, and that the said ward nomi- nations be made for each ward by said Central Committce of twenty-one, and the sub-committee for each ward, or a majority of both. The Committee was instructed to prepare and present in nto the Mayor of the city a re- spectful address, claiming at his hands the *P- —— of judges of election in every ward in he city, and particularly for the ensuing elections in October ai Noveinber, of unimpeachable character, unflinching firmness, undoubted cour- age, and the purest honesty. Also, that he enroll and commission two hundred special police otti- cers—order-loving, resolute, and conservative men—in each ward; that he cause all drinking houses to be closed on szid election days, and take al other measures to secure a peaccful and fair election. That he be requested to reply in writing to this address; and that both the address and response be published in the daily papers of Baltimore. If itshould be discovered that the means already taken should not be likely to prove effective in restoring the ballot-box and the government of their purity, and making it known to all that they are under the protection of living and honored— not dead and dishonored—another town meetin, should be convened to determine what course o! action shall then be pursued. Whilst the resolutions were being read many in the crowd applauded, especially at the reading of the resolution concerning the purity of the bal- iot-box, the appointment of faithful officers and judges of election. T he eoetiny was then addressed ve f Mesars. G. W. Brown, James M. Hodges, and George M. Gill, in favor of the resolutions. At the conclusion of the remarks of Mr. Gill, Wm. Woodward, Esq., President of the meeting, remarked that the preamble and resolutions were now before the meeting for their adoption. At this time there was a great commotion amongst the large crowd outside, and several disorderly characters were taken oif by tse sep AS soon as quiet was re- stored Mr. Woodward said, all who are in favor of the adoption of these resolutions will sa aye. The resolutions were unanimously adopted, and as the xentlemen who had participated in the i.eet- ing stepped forward on the platform, they were greeted with loud and prolonged cheers. ‘The Meeting then adjourned, and the large crowd quickly dis < While Mr. Brown was delivering bis address, socupying bout one hour, a disturbance occurred towards Fayette street, which attracted a portion of those composing the outside of the fe assem blage.

Mr. Hodges sonorous voice had the effect to cause a number who were walking about on the pavement, and at a distance from the outer edge, to gradually approach, and increased the number listeners considerably. Mr. Hodges spoke for a half hour, and was Tetened to with reat attention. The succeeding speaker, Mr. il, occupied about balf an hour in bis address. At the commencement there seemed to be a dis position to have an opposition ineeting, a man getting on the balcony of the Gilmor House, and was ing to address a party who seemed greatly desirous of creating a disturbance, but was overruled, and the speaker withdrawn from his lofty ition. Marshal Herring and De; ity Marshal Manly, with nearly two hundred police- men. headed by their respective captains, were on the ground and succeeded in preserving order by their judicious arrangement of the men, by Which the signet disposition to create a riot was checked In the bud.

York Express announces that a tmovement is on foot for the restoration of Bishop Onderdonk to the full exercise of his functions. The chief barrier to this step has been removed by Bishop Onderdonk’s having affixed his signa- ture to a memorial, in which, after soquiliteg, Mp brethren of improper motives in his conviction, acknowledging the justice of thew act dicip- dine, and ~eeaenow, Sree sincere sorrow repent- ance, he asks that his sentence may be remitted. ‘+ A contemporary, evidently an ardent ad- mirer of the Massachusetts , thus rejoices at the happy effects produced upon his shocked ing, C 8 eminent surgeons in “We on peed to learn that Hon.

It is said that the ly re- ceived was not from the Governor, but from his 8 retary, and that it simply stated the fact of Gov. W..’s absence from Richmond at some of the Vir- ginia Springs when the invitation was received, and expressed (on the part of the secretary) an ap- jon that remcben. © paren ra not permit im to return a favorable response. Apropos—The Hon. Jobn Minor Botts has not been invited to deliver that oration in place of Mr. Wise, as stated in the press a few days ago. 1 Iw Italy there isa cave, visited by every traveler, and known as the ‘“ Dog’s Cave,”’ the ‘Grotto di Cana,” from the fact that every dog that follows his master in it soon dies, the master remaining uninjured. In this eave, which con- tains carbonic acid gas, spontaneously generated from some crevices in the rock, the gas occupies the lower stratum and proves deadly to small animals whilst it does not reach above a man’s knee. On this principle, a child in St. Louis, sleeping on a low cot in a room where its mother was ironing by a charcoal furnace, recently died of asphyxia caused by the fumes of the charcoal, while the mother escaped without serious injury. On the same principle, high bedsteads are much healthier than low ones, in tight rooms, fof the reason that they elevate the sleepers above the carbonic acid gas generated by their own respira- tion.
