Syracuse, Friday morning, eb. 16, 1959, ‘The Grand State Council of the Kaow Nethings have adjourned. The session, commenced on Tag day aad closed at twelve o'clock last night. The proceediogs, as far as Iean ascertain them, were interesting, orderly, harmonious, anda unit—barmonious and a unit even inthe recommendation to an obnoxious delegate (rom | promt street ¢ Albany to teke the first train out of the city. The “council opened on Tuesday morning, the 13th instant. Nearly the whole time was occupied In the ex amination of the credentials of delegates. There were nine hundred and ten councils represented, and the delegates present numbered abeut two thousand. The a ed at this convention was ascertained to be on> hundred and forty-two thousand—quite a respectable vote im a clorely contested elgcticn.” One ircident marked the proceedings of the first day. Moses Eames appeared as a delegate. Mr. E. is a Before his arrival it was stated that he was sent to Syracuse by Speaker Littlejohn. His reception, there fore, wae not a very gratifying one His appearance, indeed, produced a commotion; but, Mr. Barker, the Albany delegate took the first train back to the State capital. He was recommended to take the first train, no matter whither it carried him. By follow- ing this advice Mr. Eamen’ feelings were saved from be- ing lacerated. On Weanenday, the 14th, Mr. Ebling was examined in regard to some charges made against him. He was unanimously acquitted, Mr, Ebling in your efficient ner of Streets and Lamps. In the afternoon debate on the constitution, and the election for the ensuing year. I give you the names of those chosen:— James W. Barker. President. Vice Premdent, Secretary. Assistant Secretary. - - Treasurer, After the election Mr, Barker delivered the annual ad- drees, which is said to be a very able document. ursday, the 16th, the debate on the constitution was resumed, when it was decided that the old State constitution, modified, to conform to the national plat- form, should remain in force till May, in order to give time to the committeo on the constitution to perfect their labors, In the afternoon delegates to the Nationa! Council to be held in Philadelphia were chosen. I also give you their names — Allernates, Daniel Ullman. R. Gray . J. M. Corley, . J.T. Morne, + M. Burnell. These delegates are elected from the State judicial dis- tricts, but as only seven delegates can be sent to the National Council one district had to withdra’ Various committees were appointed; one to harmonise and settle all local difficulties, ‘This closed the proceediuga. ‘The Council met in Corinthian Hall—a splendid place for large assemblages of people. All the expenres were paid by the members of the order residing in Syracuse, who urged upon the State Council to meet annually in this city, I believe the next meeting will be held hore. ‘There is one fact I must mention. There are thres thourand and five hundred voters in Syracuse, and the books cf the councils of the town show that the Know Nothings have two thousand and two hundred ‘‘tested’’ memters. What do you think of this? Syracuse, you brow, bas become celebrated in black history as the city of the Jerry rescuers, The old political parties, reduced now to free soilers, abolitionists, and a few whigs, are to hold a meeting to-morrow night, to attempt a fusion to act in future against the Know Nothings. But salt wont rave them, r SALINE. CONNECTICUT.

Beanett.— ‘This was s1Yaction for a series of twolve Ubels on the platatif in his capacity of manager o( the late Astor Place Opera House, published in thy New Youx Heasse, The plainti@,in the fall of 1848 was the lersge and manager of the Astor Place Opera House in New Yerk, and the Cheataut street theatre in Philadelpitia, and the alleged libels were in fact criticiams on the performances att@ extracr. dinary events which Bappened in the course of the Ptatctiff’s managerial extetemee. The sufmtance of the alleged libels was a charge of the plaint!#’s gone- ral incompetency for hiv josition, tyrantécel cee. duct towards the artists imMeermploy, and aecvants of and comments upon the: botweea | te puto end he dis'tign existing such divanions before the oa cone occasion, when, a fight having oocurred behied the sceres between the plaintiffazd! one of the sing” ers, during the performances, the’plaintiff went be. fore the curtain and made an sunesnesment of his intention to challenge the ainger. [¥was also pre- dicted that the Opera, under the plaiatif"s manage. ment, must bea failure, and that, ustess from the patronage of the sporting mem and comtesans, the | plaintiff could rot sastain himself a week. One og tho libels—thie eighth in order—ccnalated ealy of these words: “The Opera in Philadelphia: barst up,” and ended, “When will the Opera in New York follow suit" The Opera in NewHYork did shortly after follow euit, and the plaintiff bronght his action agoinat the defendant for theme alleged libels, end laid his damages at $20,000. Before the cause was tried, the plaintiff procured | the statement of a German, named Maurice Stra. | koech, to be token and reduced to writing, andere country—the ball once in motion, all are anxious (or « rot to with the old gentleman, whoredancing the French | (the dancing-est people in Christendom,) xpoilt forever. | Aa tke Spanish dance, grafted on an Indian war e, | may well bo supposed to be interminable, there’s of course no conjecturing when this fandango will be brought toa close.

But, Worse than all, he created an army which, if unpaid, is | as dangerous to himself as to his foes, To feed and keep | this brave army in a state of obedience and loyalty, all | other leakages from the public cheat have been stopped, or negrly eo.

H. being somewhat in the position of a dy ing lion, and baving utterly abandoned and iguored the party which restored him to power, finds himsolf in the awkward attitude of being deserted by his old friends, and without the means to conciliate the prevent ones, or the cash with which to buy a new set. | In this strait, he naturally looks about him for afresh | supply of the needful. He looks to the United States, of | courre, as the only source whence springs the panacea of hia woes, To this end, the Premier, Dr. Bonilla, and ol!
