tains a couple of very tine engraving*,

a great and rare merit is that they illustrate

a magnificent illustration of “Peter the

The Huggestiou of the Executive Com-
mitteo at Washington, lliut eacli State
sending delegates to tho National Union
Convention should designate tu>0 persons
us its first uiiJ second choice lor the Presi
dency, does not seem to meet with much
favor. Of the Slates winch held Opposition
conventions on the 22,1 uI(., North Carolina
alone adopted this suggestion ; she nomi
nated Hon. Win. A. Graham us her first,
an«l Hon. Washington Hunt u* her second
choice. Kentucky nominnted Crittenden,
und Tennessee Bell, but without any refer
ence to tho suggestion of tho Committee.
Virginia and .New Jersey explicitly declined
making uny nominations. In the latter
State the Opposition psrly held a very large
nml strong convention, nnd uiinnuncrd their
determination to go vigorously into the
fight and support any candidates whom the
National Convention might select.
Slavery Abolished in kuiikax.

Tho Kansas House of Delegates contains
29 Black Republicans, und 1ft (so-called)
Democrats. Had nil of tho latter party
sustained the vein, it could nut ^iuvo been
overruled by a two>lhiid« vote ; but u major*
ily of the Democracy failed to support the
Governor, and squatter sovereignty pre
vailed. The only practical issue iu i
core to slavery, thnt is now before Congress,
or that can possibly come up, is tbo ques
tion of “popular sovereignty” prohibit!, r^ of
slavery in tho Territories. The Black Re
publicans have accepted Judge Douglas’
mode of warfare against the institution as
more effective than their own, und every
man of them in Congre** will sustain this
act of the Territorial Legislature of Kansas
From the Richmond Whig, February 2S.
The Convention Lasi >Veek»
Our Convention has come and g«nc.—
When we say that, in the number and char
acter of those who composed it—in their
intcllcctnsl and moral worth, and in the
substantial interest* they reprssrntrd—i'
was the most imposing assembly of goutlc-
men over convened in the 8tate, wo state
what no one who attended its deliberations
will deny.
The register of Delegates published this
morning contains tho names of about oltv-
en hundred. We have reason to believe
that a considerable number were in altvn-
d <nco whoso names were not recorded. A*
to the prrsuncl of the Convention, we have
never seen a better looking body ol men;
and in tho Convention, and out of it, they
bore themselves with the dignity nnd cour
tesy that belong to gentlemen. Order and
decorum and si If-rovprct marked all thei*
proceedings, ’and even the animation and
i and gushing
asily controll-
ntliusiasm of the body,
id by tbo l’lesidcnl.
In these respect*, as in others, the con
trast with the Saturnalia of the Democratic
Convention wa* most marked nnd gratify
ing, ami most suggestive, we will add, of
the moral dillerenco between tho two par-
tic* they represented. Tho latter did not
hesitutu to insult the President they hud
elected, to repudiate the authority they had
created, and to trample on the law* they
had ordained lor their own government.—
The li'Miier scrupulously respected, observed
and obeyed them. I* it not so in the am
pler forum of tho country! Whiio the
Wliig party have adopted, a* a rule of
, observance of Iho constitution,
ence to laws und treaties, acquiescence in
judiciul decrees, nml respect lor constitute I
authorities, the Democratic party have nev
er scrupled nor hesitated, when it suited
their purpose, to disregard any or uII of (
these, and adapt their action nnd their poli
cy to the prejudices or passion* of the mo
ment, tho caprices ol the multitude, or the
intrigues of detugning leaders.
With the Democratic managers nothing
is aacred that stands iu the way ol expedi
ency, aud nolhing stable that opposes inno
vation. Wild, radical, disorganizing and
revolutionary, their principle* ure always
those of temporary expediency, their argu
ment an oppeal to pusaion, und their policy
agitation ami change. Time make* noth
ing venerable to them, nor experience, how
ever fruitful of blessing*, uny immutable.—
The benign aud solid mstn ulionu our lather*
led us, nml the wise policy they ordained,
aru interesting to Democracy only u* they
ull'ord subjects for tinkering experiments
aud botch-work reforms. Every your Dem
ocracy a»»ume* mure of the features ol Mo-
bocracy—und the Convention of lust week
only proved how nearly it l u* reached that
hideous but inevitable consummation. We
heartily wish, for the welfare of the coun
try, that the eyes ol all well-meaning men
iu the nation had been upon these two Con
vention*. Certainly, if this could have
been, the instinct* of all such would have
taught tliiun which of the parties, thus il
lustrated uml represented, could he the moro
sulely trusted vv11It the management ut the
momentous alfiiir* of government.
Thu speuking was of a very high grade.
We regret thui we have not been aide to
publish it in exlcnto. The ad<lrcs*fH of
Nouiliull, Goggiu, Flournoy, Fendloton,

The IrgetsiJ ol a Jew ever wandering and
never dyinfc, even from the crucifixion of
Ji**u* to ihi* day, ha* spread ovrr many
European countries. The accounts, how
ever, as in nil fables, do not agree. One
version is this-: Whan Jcsu^ was led to
death, oppressed by the weight of the cross,
he v i*hcd to rest himself near the gate at
the house ol a shoemaker named Ahnsuc-
ru*. This man, however spnng forth and
tliurst him away; irsua turned towards bim
saying, “I shall rest, but thou slialt move
on till I return.” And from that time ho
has had nu rest, ami is obligrd incessantly
to wander about. Another version is that
given by Muthia* Parisionsis, a monk of
dm thirteenth century: When Jesus was
led from the tribunal of Pilatus to death,
tho doorkeeper, named Cartsfilious, pushed
him from behind wnh Ifia lool, raying,
Walk on J> *us, quickly : why dost thou tar

said, “1 walk on, but thou ahult tarry till I
come.” And this uiun, still alive, waudera
from place 1 to place, iu cor alant dieail of the
wrath to cinne. A third Irgend adds that
tin* wandering Jew falls sick every hun
dred years, but recover*, and renew* bi*
elrenlli; hence ill* that, even after so many
centuries, lie does not look much older ihuu
a Septuagenarian. Thus much for the le
gends. Not one ol the ancient authors
make* even mention of such an account.—
The first who report* some such thing is a
monk of tho 18th century, when, as i*
known, the world wo* filled with piou* fic
tion even to disgust. Howover, the story

In 1833the mountain known ns “|ron

later the entire tract was sold for $600.
present value is almost incalculable; for
though apparently an inconsiderable lull, it
is a more compact and extensive ms** of

It is 228 Icct in height, itH baso covers five

’ ono per cent, of pure iron.

profitless undertaking. They have since i
constructed a reservoir to ’economise tho

“keep off Dst Heel.”
Isaiah Smith is black enough to pnsa for

exhibits the woolv head, tho thiqk lips nml
the long heel*. Now, Latah is a peaceable
man, and being peaceable, no one has a
right lo tramp on hi* hr el*. Yot somebody
did do it thu other night down on Race
street and Gherry alley, and brsidea that,
gave Isaiah a “clue” on his left check. How
it happened wo do not know to a positive
certainty, hut wo will let Juliua Ciusar An
derson, a wooly-headed friend of Isaiah’s,
fell tho story. One Joseph Wcllonkamp,
being charged with assaulting Isaiah, in the
Polico Gourt this morning, Julius Cmsar
Anderson was called up for a witness:
“Well, you are boss,” said he, after be
ing sworn, “I rooks down on Hixtb street.
Well, I meets Laiah, and srz Latah to me,
Dat wife of mine berry *ick, Juliua, an’ I
wants you to gwy 'long down on’ see her.’
Doesn't rare if I dpo»,' s« z I to Laiah, so
down dar we goes. Well, Isaiah's wife was
berry sick. Wc gwys into de house an'
found her in de bed. 'How is you V sex I
to Isaiuh'* wife. “Dam sick,’ *rz she, 'Out
J links if Isaiah go gets me a bolona sas
sage, I cuts it and gets better /”
This created a roar of laughter, which
caused Julius lo roll up the whites of his
eyes und exclaimed :
“Dal's so» She want de sassage, so
Isaiah and I gwys 'long lor.de sassage. We
gets to do struct and Laiah yells out, 'Get
nfl'dat heel !’ Hez I, 'Dress de lor', I ain't
ycr heel, Isaiah.’ Don he looks nro tin’,
and dar stood dat white man, atun’in’ on
Isaiah’* heel!”
Hero 'ho laughter drowned tho witness'
ice. Alter awhile he continued :
“Lor' a mighty, I wnr skeered. You better
b'liuvo I take* de outside by de curb. Den
da' whitn man he get of)' Laiah’a heel un*
he up fist an' fetch him n lick right spang

’ an’ I runa like de berry debfcel. When
il ia chicken conics back he goes do odder
way, bo did.”
Huch wus the cream of Juliua ('utaaar's
testimony. Both he und Issiah swore pos
itively thui the accused stood on the latter's
heel. Un the other aide, \Vellenkamp
brought in two wilucr.ses who swore that
tever touched Laiah, and that ono ol
them, named Hinton, was tbe fellow who
offended Laiah. The Gourt gave Juliu*
Guisar's testimony the p^rference, found
Wollenkump guilty, aud fined him $5 and
