The morning session was occupied ia the preliminary proceedings of or- ganization—ex-Governor Johnston, of Pennsylvania, im the chair as temptorary presiding officer. There Yorkers in faver of “Live Oak” George Law. It is questionable, however, whether the nomination wil) mot be deferred until the action of the nigger wor- shippers at Philadelphia, next week, becomes known, and then appoint committees of conference be- tween the two Conventions. In the afternoon ses- sion speeches were made by Judge Conrad, of Phila- @elphia; Lieut. Gov. Ford, of Ohio; Mr. George H- Andrews, of New York; William Baker, of Boston, and others. Most of the speeches were decidedly abolitionist in their spirit and letter, and some of second speech from that gentleman the Convention adjourned till this morning, at 10 o’clock. Mr. Fillmore accepts the Know Nothing nomina” tion 48 a candidate for the Presidency, and adopts the platform put forth by the National Council, in a long letter, the concluding and material portion of which we publish under the telegraphic head. The Daniel Webster has arrived at New Orleans with California advices to the 25th ultimo, and later imtelligence from Nicaragua. The news from Sen Francisco is highly exciting. Mr. James King of William, extensively known as a banker, but more recently as editor of the San Francisco Bulletin, was shot on the 14th ult.,by a man named Casey, died two days afterwards. This event, together with others of a like character, exasperated the citizens to an unusual degree. The terrible Vigilance Com- mittee convened to the number of three thousand: marched to the prison, and from thence took Casey anda gambier named Cora, the murderer of Gen. Richardson, and conveyed them to the committee rooms, where, on the sailing of the steamer, the committee were deliberating. The general be- ef was that the murderers would be exe cuted according to the code of Judge Lynch. The Vigilance Committee had organized throughout the State, and the extirpation ef all blacklegs, bullies and rascals had been re. solved upon, There had been no arrivals at San Francisco from Atlantic ports during the two weeks previous to the 25th ult. The George Law is now on her way to this port from Aspinwall, with nearly $2,000,000 in treasure. In Nicaragua, Gen. Walker's position was unchanged. There had been some sickness among the troops. The rumor of an insur- rection in Costa Rica is reiterated. The movement 3 . Everything was quiet‘on the Isthmus, and the railroad in excellent condition. The steamship Tennessee arrived last evening, with news from Venezuela to the ist, and advices from St. Thomas and Porto Rico to the 6th inst. We learn from a correspondent at Ponce, Porto Rico, that dur- img last month a great deal of sickness prevailed at that place, especially among the crews of the vessels in port. Captain Snowball, of the brig Delta, died on the 24th, and Henry Jackson, one of the seamen, on the 28th, both of black vomit; the mate and a seaman named Tobias Dalling, also belonging to the Delta, had been sick, but were recovering; another seaman, a Chilian, named Joe, was taken ashore sick on the 29th. Three of the crew of the captain and first officer, and had been waiting three weeks for suitable men to supply their places, Smallpox also prevailed to some extent. Cholera,” however, had almost disappeared from Porto Rico, Some severe cases occurred lately at Caracas. Ve. nezula, generally speaking, was very prosperous, ‘The Congress elosed its sittings in May, and a new electoral division of the republic was ordered aa a asis for the formation of a reformed constita” ion. A fresh set of members, with a new set of executive officers, would be elected and appointed. ‘This change was looked on as very important to the well being of the country, as the right of rule was rapidly descending towards the hands of the blacks and rowdies. Railroads and telegraph lines were very quiet. From St.Thomas we are informed of the death of Mrs. De Mena, a passenger on the Ten- neasee from New York for Porto Rico, and of the arrival of Madame De Villiers, the pianist, from this city. The Governor of Martinique had arrived, with his staff, en route to Europe. Lord Talbot, a cham- perlain of the Pope, was on the island, but the clergy and French Consul were in much odium with the people, owing to the removal of a favorite priest. The King of Denmark had offered to the people the right of adopting any plan of self gov- eroment which they thought would be for their venefit, but bis loyal subjects did not seem to value the royal voor much.

The Diario de la Marina publishes the documents of President Moro in reference to the evacuation of Nicaragua by the retreating Costa Ricans. It also dwells, with its usual feeling against Americans, on the Brooke and Sumner affair. The steamer about to ply between San tiago de Cuba and Porto Rico, touching at other West India islands, will shortly com. menced running. Brigadier General Morales de Rada had not returned from Costa Rica. He was expected in the next Chagres steamer. The project of introducing four thougand Spanish criminals on the island had not been abandoned, as some have asserted. On the contrary, the adherents of the plan were more samguine of success than ever, par- ticularly as it had been approved by several of the authorities. The Havana correspondentof the New Orleans Picayune, writing on the 2d of June, says:— The U.S. steamer Merrimac was signalized yes. terday from the Moro. She was passed by two American vessels about three o’clock, with all her canvass spread. She was not under steam. The general impression here is that she has broken some part of her machinery. She will reach San Juan before June is ended, if nothing happens. The English brig-of-war Mariner is here. She will sail soon for San Juan, where she has been ordered. In the Senate yesterday Mr. Hamlin, of Maine, formally announced his withdrawal from the demo" cratic party, and his determination to oppose it in the present Presidential campaign. The repeal of the Missouri compromise, and its endorsement by the Cincinnati Convention, together with disgust at | the . official conduct of President Pierce, impelled Mr. Hamlin to adopt the course indicated. Mr. Bat" ler commenced a speech upon the Sumner assault, but he had not concluded when the Senate adjourned. The House did nothing, there not being a quorum of members present. The sales of cotton yesterday reached about 800 a 900 bales, the market closing firm. Flour sold toa fair extent, without change of moment in prices, Red Southern wheat sold at $1 50a $1 55; prime white do., in a small way, at $1 80; Canadian prime do. was at about the same figure. Milwaukie Clab sold at $135 a $1373. Corn was unchanged for mixed, while prime yellow was firmer, with sales at 56c.a 57c. Prime white Devereaux was last sold at 66c. Rye was active, with sales of 25,000 busheis Northern at 79¢. a 80c. and 82c. Pork was firmer, with sales of mess upon the spot at $18 75, and at the close $19 was demanded; and 500 bbls. sold, for August delivery, at $18 50. Sugars were active and firm, with sales of about 1,600 hhds. Cuba muscova- do and a cargo of Porto Rico, all at full prices. Coffee was firm and quiet. Freights were unchang- ed, with tair engagements for British ports. The Board of Aldermen met last evening. A re- monstrance of property owners in the neighborhood of Reservoir square, against the Corporation pur- chasing the Crystal Palace, or renewing the lease of the ground on which it stands, was presented, A communication from the Mayor relative to the appointment of clerks and officers in his depart- ment was received. It created a lively debate—a report of which we give elseghere in our columns. Lieut. Egbert L. Viele appointed Engi- neer-in-Chief for laying outThe Central Park ; Ros- well Graves, Assistant Engineer and Landscape Designer ; and Alfred W. Craven, Consulting En- gineer. Lieut. V. is the gentleman whose plan for laying out the Park was recently described at length in the Herap. It is understood that the plan has been approved by the Consulting Committee, and that it will eventually be adopted by the Com™ missioners. ‘The George Law Anti-Slavery Know Nothing Convention—First Day. The Know Nothing Presidential Convention, in pursuance of the call of the anti-slavery bolters from the Philadelphia nomioations of Fillmore and Donelson, met in this city yes- terday, ai 12 M.; and we give elsewhere in these columns @ copious report of their first day’s proceedings. The dark lantern, sentinels, pass-worde, grips, winks, and Jocks and keys upon which the Order was founded, having been abolished, this Convention is held with open doors—wide open to Broadway ; and as one of their first experiments in the broad light of day, it is due to the brethren to admit that they are getting along swimmingly. All the Northern States are represented more or less in behalf of the anti-slavery Know Nothings, and little Dela. ware besides, which may be considered a sort of neutral ground between the North and the South, under a bond and mortgage held in the breeches pocket of John M. Clayton. From a birdseye view of the materials and the proceedings of the Convention yesterday, we were impressed with the following convic- tions :—First. That a large proportion of eharp, hungry and calculating politicians enter into its composition. Second. That they in- tend, if possible, that Fillmore and Donelson shall be limited in their operations to’ the south side of Mason and Dixon’s line. And thirdly, and lastly. That Thurlow Weed and his set have a pretty long finger in the pie. The Convention met at twelve, at the Apollo Rooms; but as early asten in the morn- ing, Thurlow Weed, after an early breakfast, had preliminary co-operative convention of wire workers in session at the Astor House, with the amiable object in view of ennffing out this independent Northern Know Nothing movement like a farthing candle. The pro- gramme of Master Weed is very simple. It Proposes nothing more nor less than a plat- form of anti-slavery principles for this Con- vention, leaving its Presidential ticket to the wise discretion of the Seward coalition at Phi- ladelphia, Of course, neither the venerable Mr. Weed nor apy of his Albany pipelayers were visible among the brethren at the Apollo Booms. Weed’s policy is to be felt, but not to be seen. He cares not who is supposed to make Panch and Judy dance, so that he pulls the string and gete his share of the coppers. Among the brethren of this Convention, however, he hae some active and devoted allies—ex-Governor Johnston, of Pennsylvania; ex-Mayor Conrad, of Philadelphia, and above all, Lieutenant Governor Ford, of Ohio, being the most con spicuous. When George Law walked in during the afternon, large as life and cool as & judge, he was received with a thundering demonstration; bat as appearances sre often deceptive, we are not disposed to accept this flattering testimonial as a sign of the nomins- tion that is yet to come. By no meaner. We take it rather as a vote of thanks to “Live Oak George” for his self sacrificing gene- roeity in behalf of the cause, whatever that may be. There were some very expressive inklinge of what this cause is to bo in the course of the speeches put in to fill up the intervals to the or- ganization of this gathering. Every allusion to a hearty alliance with the coalition of the Philadelphia Convention of the 17th, was received with the most emphatic demonstra tions of applause. Lieutenant Governor Ford's suggestion, especially, that it was the policy ot the North Americans to “raliy together with e!! their competnets ogsinet James Bo Benen, tbe sdmuntrater ~ $07: wn 2! ba» NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1856. administration of Franklin Pieree and the sle- very propaganda,” was welcomed by the mect- ing as if he had hit the nail upom the head and driven it home at a single blow. We understand that the Pennsylvania dele gation are im favor of Judge McLean as their nominee—that the men from the New Eng- land States, including several members of Congress, are unanimously for Fremont and Banks as the ticket, as are also the delegates of the great West, except, perhaps, a portion of the Ohio delegation. In this connection we may say that there was a calm and colid expression upon the face of “Live Oak George,” indicating that his mind is made up for a splendid coup d’(tat, and that he knows all about it and is satisfied. Perhaps it may be developed in the nomination of Fremont and Banke, Unquestionably the brethren feel the responsibility of the crisie, and are “big with the fate of Rome.” We never saw anything 20 clearly expressed upon every face, from the fattest to the leanest man in the crowd. A collection of old cardinals, convened for the purpose of electing = successor to St. Peter, could not wear a more serious or impressive cast of countenance, in the mass or {n detail. This peculiar feature of this Convention, more than anything else, satisfies us that they contemplate a movement which will astonish the spoils democracy and “‘make Rome howl” But whether they may do thie thing, that thing, or nothing at at all, the drift of the popular anti-Pierce and Forney sentiment of the North has very clearly indicated that there is but one course for the opposition forces— fasion; and but one wan for the crisis—Fre- mont. We carenot what this Convention, or the Philadelphia Convention, or both together, msy do; but their orly chance for a good fight is fusion and Fremat. For months before the Cincinnati Conven- tion it was plain enough to see that the masses of the democratic party, disgusted with the nigger driving and filibustering follies and paltry tricks of che Pierce dynaety, were in favor of taking the safe old back track with Mr. Buchanan. He stands pledged, however, to the Pierce yolicy out-and-out. The opposi- tion forces, therefore, have but to rally against this Pierce sdministration, in order to give the terrified democracy such a shaking in their shoes as they have not experienced since 1840. Popular opinion has indicated the man for the crisis, We await the results of these June Conventicns. Morr Centra, Park DevELOrEMENTS.—It seems that the ond of the Central Park history is not yet. We now proceed to ley a fewmore facts before the public, One of the originators of the scheme was Robert Dillon, late Corporation Counsel, who espoused the idea warmly when in office. With the aid of the-independent press this gentle- man succeeded in defeating the opposition made by sundry old fogy taxpayers, who did not see the benefit the city would reap from the park, and had a bill introduced into the Legislature to authorize the purchase of the lend. Mr. Dillon’s idea was that the expendi- ture of the money and the laying out of the ground should be cosfided to a board of com missioners, consisting of such men as Wash- ington Irving, George Bancroft, William C Bryant, and others who had been in Earope and were competent to judge of such matters; but unfortunately this measure was confided to the hands of Mr. Dan. Sickles, through whose negligence and carelessness it was lost.- The main measure passed, however, the Mayor pro- ceeded to take measures for the opening of the park, and requested Mr. Dillon—whose in- terest in the improvement had familiarized him with the subject—to draft an ordinance which he could lay before the Common Coun- cil. Mr. Dillon complied; and im the body of the ordinance he again inserted the names above mentioned—Irving, Bancroft, Bryant—with others, as suitable and well chosen. The Mayor received it, thanked the author, quietly drew his pen through the list of names, and substituted his own and that of Commissioner Taylor ; and in this shape the ordinance was passed. The net result of this little trick is that the whole control over the laying out of the grounde and the expenditure of the money (some six or eight millions, be it remembered,) is placed in the hands of the Mayor—for Mr. Taylor is certain to play & mere second fiddle. The Mayor has gilded the pill by nominating a coneulting council of Miterary men and othera. They will figure like Louis Napoleon’s Senate, and will have the privilege of enregistering the decrees of his Honor the Mayor, under penalty of instant dismissal if they venture to discuss, or “want to know, you know.” The Mayor has also hired rooms in the Shoe and Leather Bank, set up an office there, and appointed clerks—the whole without shadow or color of law, and of his own pure will and mere motion. The consequence to the public will be— firstly, that they will have no better security for the proper expenditure of the immense sum of money the embellishment of the park will cost, than is afforded by the personal character of a partisan and unpopular Mayor ; and secondly, that however the money may be wasted, however corruptly applied, the park may be so illy laid out as to be a disgrace to the city. Already we hear that the Mayor has resolved upon a circular drive of three miles or so round the park, inside. No one needs to have lived more than six months in the city to be aware that this would become a race course for the Bowery b’hoys. The plan will, no doubt, secure their votes for Mayor Wood when he wants them; but it cannot fail to destroy the character of the park—to make it a curse, and not a blessing ; in word, to trans- plant the Bowery and Five Pointsthere bodily. Mr. Dillon’s plan was to have winding drives with sharp curves, following the inequalities of the land, so that no one could possibly drive fast horses there. But the whole now is in the hands of the Mayor. AxotHER Great DEMONSTRATION IN THE Park.—The city was startled yesterday by the successive explosions of & gun in the Park, The noise produced as great a sensation as the Buchanan ratification meeting, including the Breckenridge coal bonfire held in the same place the previous evening. Everybody in- quired the cause of the great commotion. It turned out to be a salute by the proprietor of & weekly paper in honor of his one hundred and fifty thousand subscribers ! Tom Hysr Torvep Scnoormagrern.—Tom Hyer, it is esid, whipped a debate to the Cincinnati Convention at the Bugnet House, Why didn’t he whip all of them?) it would buve Cone them a great deal of y "The Meeting om Wednesday. The democratic ratification meeting on Wed- nesday was as full of noise and smoke and tar- dulence as any that New York ever witnessed. The assembly was large, the weather being very favorable; music was abundant; flags bristled; and Wallstreet shrewdly seized the opportanity to advertise a mew coal company on the strength of the Vice President. Of the speakers, perhars the legs said the better. One cannot see statesmen of the calibre of Douglas and Cobb lowering themselves to the level of ward politicians and pouring out frothy commonplaces by the half hour, without a feel- ing of very sincere regret. When Capt. Ryn- ders mounts the rostrum one prepares for buncombe, and makes ready for nonsense; but something slightly different is expected of a United States Senator and the author of the Nebraska law. Nor can we read without great regret the announcement by Senator Douglas that his op- ponents intend to restore the Missouri com- Promise, to repeal the Fugitive Slave law, to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, and soon. He evidently desired to leave on the minds of the people who heard him an im- pression that im the event of the defeat of the democratic candidate, these various measures and others of a similar character would be at once proposed and carried out in the teeth of the South and in spite of all risk and opposition. This was nothonest. Senator Douglas is well aware that under no circumstance would the defeat of the democratic candidate, and the election of his rival, lead either to the serious proposal, or, much less, to the triumph of all or any of these measures. There are, no doubt, a few crazy nigger worshippers in the North who would desire to see the war carried into Africa, and the peace of the country die- turbed, in order to gratify their own fanatical prejudices ; just as there are some nigger drivers in the democratic camp who advocate the beating of every Congressman and Senator who does not agree with them with sticks on the head. But neither of these exceptional varieties can be honestly regarded as types of the party with which they are affiliated. Should the opposition candidate triamph, neither the Nebraska law, nor the Fugitive Slave law, nor the institations of the District ofColumbia will be likely to be assailed. The former are regarded as a finality by all reason- able men; they will not be disturbed unless Senator Douglas’ friends themselves disturb them; abolition in the District of Columbia no one demands, The true ground on which the opposition to the re; democratic candidates rests isthat they are in fact a mere continuance of the Pierce dynasty. The country is satisfied that that dynasty is bed. People unanimously acknowledge that Pierce has governed the country badly; that he has awakened dissension ; given rise to civil war by appointing, under the advice of Forney, a free State speculator to govern Kansas; brought the national name into contempt abroad, and dragged us to the verge of a war with the two greatest Powers of Europe. And when they perceive that the men who surround and influence Pierce will surround and influ- ence Buchanan; when they see that Forney, who was the evil genius of the one, will be the evil genius of the other; when they notice that Pierce has already intimated to the govern- ment officials that in the event of Mr. Bu- chanan’s succees they may hope to retain their offices; lastly, when they perceive how com- pletely the Cincinnati platform connects Ba- chanan to the policy of Pierce, and how the Ostend Conference carries him even nearer than Pierce to a rupture with foreign States-- they will certainly decide upon trying some new dynasty, if they can find one that pro- miees well. This is the issue on which the battle will be fought; as Senator Douglas, we cannot help repeating, must surely know perfectly well. The elavery question will not be touched. Your noisy declaimers about slavery will be very good conservatives in office; they will have neither the power nor the will to do mis- chief. But they may put an end to the sicken- ing .scenes of corruption and imbecility and falsehood and folly which have marked the administration of Franklin Pierce; and that, we are quite satisfied, could not be effected by @ Buchanan administration. Buchanan, res- pectable and amiable man as he undoubtedly is, could not help being mere Pierce under another name, with the same Forney at his elbow, and nodoubt the same Reeder as his Governor of Kansas. If Senator Douglas wants to induce people to vote for him, he must prove that thie would be for the public good. Bap News From Catirornia.—Intelligence of an alarming character was received yester- day from San Francisco, by way of New Or- leans. The telegraphic accounts are meagre, but every dot is stained with blood. It appears that Mr. James King of William has been shot by a man of the name of Casey—that the Vigi- lance Committee has been revived—that they have taken Casey and Charles Cora in custo- dy, and that the execution of these men was hourly expected. Mr. King was enative of Maryland. He went to California and established a banking house. He afterwards entered the house of Adams & Co, He then left them and resumed the banking business, which he gave up to en- ter the fields of politics and journalism. He established a daily newspaper—the Evening Bul- ladin—which advocated the election of Dr. Gwin to the United States Senate, and unsparingly lashed the Broderick echool of politicians, with which the man Casey was affiliated. Mr. King exposed the frauds and corrdption in San Francisco politics, business and society, with so much boldness that his friends expected that he would be murdered. The immediate cause of his death is alleged to have been a statement made by him that Casey had been an inmate of the Sing Sing State prison. The man Cora, who shot General Richardson, the Unit- ed States Marshal, was tried on the capital charge, but the jury did not agree, and it seemed probable that he would escape punish- ment. These two murders of prominent citizens aroused the Vigilance Committee, which was formed in 1851-’52 for the purpose of purify. ing the State of # horde of ruffians who had gathered in California from all parte of the world. The committees were formed all over the State. Several persone were tried and executed. and when the work of the committee wee done, it wae dissolved with the onderetanding that it was to be reorganized at a moment’s notice. The] PRB LAPTBST BBwWs. committees were composed of the principal citizens of each town, and their proceedings were characterized by gravity and delibera- tion. Each criminal had a jury trial and was allowed counsel. It now appears that, in the opinion of the pioneers, the time has come when the people of the State can no longer look tothe courts for justice, and they have again been obliged to return to first principles, and take the law into their hands, At this distance the alternative seems a hor- rible one; but is not the provocation strong? We shall look anxiously for the next news from California, and sincerely hope that the dreadful scenes of ’51-2 will not be re-enacted. Tue RiceMonp Exquimer on THE New York Heratp.—The Richmond Enquirer, the special Virginia organ of Pierce and Forney, is very much frightened in reference to the prospects of the Presidential canvass, In the excess of its alarm, it blindly assails the New York Heraxp, using against us language, epithets, adjectives and substantives not exactly re- fined, polite or parliamentary, nor according tothe rules of decency and good taste. They have, however, very much the flavor of Gov. Wise’s peculiar stump speeches of a year ago, with something of the studied blackguardism of Senator Sumner, though lacking Sumner’s careful avoidance of fishy vulgarisms. Extem- poraneous specimens of this style of demo- cratic eloquence are very abundant here in that classical region known as the Five Points; and one might fairly conclude that our Rich- mond cotemporary had acquired his degree in Cow Bay, he is so flippant and fluent in its choicest expletives. These, however, we pre- sume, are rather natural to his temperament, his instincts, education and associations, than otherwise, and we must, therefore, receive them as the incoherent vaporings of a noisy fellow unduly excited by politics or bad liquor. Our badly frightened Richmond cotempo- rary, however, betrays a very contracted view of Soutkern rights when he charges that our opposition to the Pierce-nigger-driving demo- cracy is hostility to the South. The idea is perfectly absurd. For thirty years in the edi- torial harness, we have steadily and uniformly vindicated the constitutional rights of the South, as we do now, and shall continue to do. The New Yorx Heratp was the only jour- nal ef the North which, from the start, came out and supported the bill of Senator Douglas for the repeal of the unconstitutional Missouri Compromiss act—from the outset, we say, when even Pierce and Forney faltered and tarned pale. Upon this law, as upon all other questions and measures affecting Southern in- terests, we have been, we are, and shall con- tinue to be, among the supporters of the rights of the South as guaranteed in the fede- ral constitution. But this simple, consistent platform of pria- ciples appears to fall short of the standard of the dynasty of Pierce and Forney, and, we fear, of the democratic dynasty appointed to follow it. We have a high opinion of the stateemanship of Mr. Buchanan, but a very low estimate of the malign influences sur- rounding him, being substantially the same which have debased and displaced this poor and imbecile Pierce administration. As a local institution of the South, we have always main- tained the ground that African slavery, as a social system, is the best adapted and the only practical system of any yet devised for the good of both races living together in the same community. We have no share in the belief of our negro philanthropists that this “pecu- liar institution” demoralizes, necessarily, either the white or the black race. We believe, too, that the bulk of the Southern people are con- tent with the concessions of the constitution, and are devotedly attached to the Union. It is only within the last few years that an active class of agitating politicians, of the school of Henry A. Wise, have risen up to the control of the democratic party—agitators whose ultra- iem upon the slavery question is as wide of any healthy political organization as the rabid fanaticism of Sumner, Greeley and others of that school. This new school of Southern po- liticians differs as widely from that of the Madisons, Jeffersons, Clays and Calhoans of the old school of Southern statesmen, as thé Sumners, Sewards, Hales and Wilsons of the North differ from the extinct party organiza- tion of such men asthe Websters, Choates and Everetts of this section. By the new school of Southern fire eating Politicians the great body of the Southern People are as much misrepresented as are the conservative masses of the North by our modern anti-slavery disorganizers. Hence we ~ have thought proper to style the Southern democratic leaders of the school of Wise and Jeff. Davie, the political nigger drivers of the country; and such as Seward, Sumner and Wilson, and their followers, the political nig- ger worshippers, We shall stick to these designations; and we hope that the time is not far distant when both nigger drivers and nigger worshippers will be overwhelmed and pulverized by the crushing weight of a con- servative revolution, “ fresh from the body of people” North and South. We are decidedly in favor of such a revolution, and anxiously await the developement of the popular move- ment which is to oarry it through. Nothing more. Musical MaTrens.—Signor Amodio, late baritene of the Academy troupe, gives a concert this eveming at Nible’s Saloon. He will be assisted by Mydame Patania and other eminent artists, At the Academy there will be an extra performance of “Ernani,”’ for the benefit of the orchestra and chorus, La Grange, Maretzek, and all the other artists have v>- lanteered their services. ‘The Vestvali Opera troupe gave “‘Ernani” at the Boston theatre on Wednesday.

The old Vigilance Committee called a meeting, and placards of an inflammatory nature were posted, calling on th® citizens to take the law into their own hands; andom the 18th three thousand citizens, completely or- ganiwd, in divisions and companies, armed with muskets, marched by three stresta from the commitvee rooms and took possession of the jail, From thence they took Casey, together with tho. gambler Cora, the murderer of Gen. Richardson, and car- ried them to the oc mmittee rooms, where they remained strongly guarded on the sailing of the steamer. It was > supposed that they would be hung. ‘The committee is fully organized throughout the State. It is anid they have raised seventy-five thousand dollars to carry out their measures, and that they intend to drive out all the gamblers from the State. ‘The whole city was draped in mourning for the death ot King, who was most highly esteemed. Casey was for- merly an inmate of Sing Sing prison, and it was a state- ment to that effect in the Bullein that caused the dif- fieulty.

Mr. Fillmore’s Acceptance of the American- Nomination for the Presidency.

In closing, he says:= n ‘} Having the experience of past service in the adminis- tration of the government, I may be permitted to refer to that as the Caer of the future, and to say that should the choice of the Convention be sanctioned: Paious’ reqeed” for ‘the’ rights of every’ seStion section of the Union which then influenced my conduc:, endoa- vor to perform every duty confided by the constitution andthe laws to the executive. As the proceedings of the Convention have marked a new era in the history of the country, by bringing a new political organization futo the approaching Presidential canvass, I take occasion to- reaffirm my fuil confidence in the patriotic purposes of that organization, which I regard as springing out of the public necessity, forced upom the country, to a extent, by unfortunate sectional dit and the dangerous tendency of those divisions towards disunicn. Te alone, in my opinion, of all politi- cal agencies now existing, is possessed of power to silence this violent and disastrous agitation, and to restore har- mony by its own example of moderation and forbearance.

Wasurxctoy, June 12, 1886. The Senate Chamber presented a scene of exciting in- terest to-day. Mr. Batler’s speech drew an immense throng, and was dispassionate, eloquent and overwhelm- ing. Mr. Butler charged Senator Sumner with deliver- ing an irresporsive, insulting and malignant speech. Had he been present, he should have asked that Senator to pause; had he gone on, he should have demanded next morning retraction of all offensive expressions. Had this been refused, Mr. Butler was not now prepared to may what he would have done. He met all the charges pre- ferred by Mr. Sumner against South Carolina, and, passing a high euloginm upon the Com- monwealth of Massachusetts, he alluded to the fact that South Carolina farnished Boston with bread, wine and powder during the Revolation. In the speech to which Mr. Sumner “swore” his was respos- alive, Mr. Butler never alluded to Massachusetts or South: Carolina—never used the word “sectionalism,” and the. word ‘‘slavery”’ but once. Mr. Butler denied that thera had been any violation of the privilege of the Senate; and if there hada been, the courts must determine it. No Se- nator had the right to print and publisha libel, and seatter it over the country under his official frank, and- eal it ‘‘words spoken in debate.’’ Such » doctrine. would be monstrous. The speech of Mr. Batler is pro- mounced a triumphant defence, The [nigger worshippers now say Col. Fremont will be their choice in the Philadelphia Convention. To nomi. nate Judge McLean, they say, would be to oppose imbs- cility to imbecility, and to run antiquated notions against old fogyism, > The committee appointed at Cincinnati to inform Mr. Buehanaa of his nomination will, I understand, meet sor that purpose to-morrow, at Wheatland, mear Lan- caster, Gen.

Their names will be forthcoming m » day or wo, He feels a gocd deal chagrined, and is determined touse the pruning hook. To appease his anger, their heads must be lopped off. ‘The way Mr. Buchanan was nominated is now openly avowed by many delegates to the Cincinnati Convention. The secret is not altogether uninteresting. Virginie wae divided between Douglas and Buchanan—with two ma- jority in favor of the Jatter. She voted as a unit, and cast her whole strength for ‘‘Oid Buck,’ Had there been but two charges in this delegation, Virginia would have ‘voted for Douglas, and in her wake would have followed State atter State, until the nomination would have fallen differently from what it did, Again, had Mr. Pierce been Withdrawn on the fourth or fifth ballot, when Tennessee, after voting for Mr. Buchanan, had again withdrawn her Vote, ard when the iatter had not a majority of the Con- vention, the Virginia delegates stx0d trembling in their 4 r shoes, and piséged to vou tor Vouglas, which would bave sealed the {ste of tne tt Penneylvanian, friends of General Pierce pinged false in thie reapect, im
