The Third Party is burdened with an ex ceeds gly weighty political creed es pecially adopted for its own peouliar flexible purposes, bearing the stamp of endorsement c>f the industrial Confer ence. It is formally offered to the weak kneed and dissatisfied members of the two old parties. Livingston and other Southern dele gates who are p1< dg* d to the Demo cratic party unconditionally fought the movement of the Third party and great ly retarded its final formation. The majority of the delegates present, w< re in favi r of the immediate con struction of the new political party,and determined to carry ont their scheme. They knew what they wanted hut did not know exactly what plan to adopt to get it, so it wou’d bear the proper and desired stamp of endorsement. It was dcoided to direct the conven tion into a mass meeting, turned the Blue and Gray mass meeting. This give the puller more rope and the tug of war between the opposition South erners and the majority of Third party advc o&tes commenced. General Weaver, of Iowa, was in the chair. The project worked and in a short time the whele thii g had reaohed well developed infant with a lot of tender nurses. A resolution by Mr. Branch, of Geor gia, to hold the Democratic and Repub lican parties jointly responsible for the condition of the poor people was ta bled. His Widow Describes the Great Preacher's First Brooklyn Sermon. Mrs. Henry'Ward Beecher gives an interesting account of the first sermon preached by Mr. Beecher in Plymouth cbuiob, Brooklyn, in b< r fifth paper on “Mr Beecher as I Knew Him,” in the March Ladies Home Journal. A per fect flood of warnings and criticisms came to him before bis first sermon. Doubtless all these warnirgs determined Mr. Beecher more than aught else that the people of his new church should fully undeistand before he was install ed wbat course he was likely to pursue. He told me that if P'ymonth church decided to instal him, it would do so with its eyes wide It was upon the evenine of Sun- open. d • v, October lOtb, 1847.

St. -Louis, Feb. 24—The Georgia delegation held a caucus yesterday after noon, at which Moses demanded the credentials of the election of Post, Branch and Parker, and here is what came ont: Gilmore was appointed by Humph reys, of Texas, to represent the negro alliancemen of Georgia and given eleven votes, which would indicate that there are 110 negro alliancemen in Georgia. When the National Citizens’ Alliance eanenssed at the organization of the convention, there were members enough in the several states to entitle them to twenty-five delegates, bat there were not states enough, so three votes were given to Ellington, Parker and Branch. Burying the Bloody Shirt. At 9 o’clock a m., a remarkable scene occurred in the music hall. Two hun dred old soldiers inarched upon the stage—an old Confederate arm-in-arm with an old Federal—and the moet in tense excitement prevailed. An old Fed eral, Watterson, of Indiana, was pre sented to open the meeting with prayer. He began in the usual manner, but grew excited, opened bis eyes snd mads a regular speech instead of prayer, ray ing, “The bloody shirt has been buried deep, and on it written, *No resurrec tion,’” at which a storm of “am and a burst of applause followed. Branch introduced a resolution pro testing against the condition of the common people of- this country today, and holding tne Democratic ana Repub lican parties responsible for it, and moved the suspension of the rules for its adoption. A Kansas delegate moved to lay on the table, but it was lost. Ben Terrell, who had been called to the chair, ruled that the resolution was ont of order, as this conference met for the purpose of making a platform on which all labor organizations could stand. Branch arose to protest when some one colled ont, "Appeal from the decis ion. " He did appeal from the decision of the chair, but, before the question could be put, he agreed for the resolution to i*y on the table until the committee on platform reported. JR.

All wasohaug* d. An almost breathless solemnity pervaded the church, and tears were on many faces The youthful look vanished and did not return, as, in bis sermon, he plainly, and with great solemnity, showed his he*r> rs the course duty called him to p* rsue. As he said of these remarks years after: “I lifted up the banner aud blew the trump t in the application of Christianity to intemperance, to slavery, and all other great national sins. 1 said to those present, ‘if I remain here and you come to this church, it muBt at t ie commencement to distinctly nndei* stood that I wear no fetters, that l will be bound by no pr* cedent, ar-d that I wi'-l prei-ch »he Gospel as 1 apprehend it, whethei men will hear or whether they will forbear, and I will : pply it sharply and strongly to the overflow of every evil, ard to the up- buildingof all that is good.’” After the close of the sermon many came to counsel Mr. Beecher. They were actuated by kindness to him and anxiety for the church. Such bold, pi on speaking they did not understand. They bad never been used to it. It would overthrow this young church. “Don’t ally yourself to unpopular men or unpopular causes,” they told him. '‘There is no oall for it. You will only injure yourself aud break up this chuich.” After preaching a month iu Plymouth Church, he was installed as pastor on November 11th, 1847. A Jew Peddler Lost, Augusta, Feb. 24—S. Sternberg, a dry goods merchant of this city, has re ported the mysterious disappearance of J. Kitai, a Russian, whom he started out on the road last December to peddle goods. Katai was last heard from De cember 14th, when he wrote from Wards, S. C-, for more goods. Stern berg believes Katai has been foully mur dered and his body secretly buried. He does not believe the man has acted wrong. Bishop Nelson Consecrated. Atlanta, Feb. 24—Rev. C. Kinlocb Nelson has been ordained and conse crated a bishop of the Protestant Epis copal church. He is now Bishop Nelson of the diocese of Georgia. The beauti ful weather, with just a touch of spring, led all who oonld possibly do so to at tend the ceremonies, which .took place in St Lake’s cathedral. Six Hon Kilted.

Sr. Loum, Fob. 23.—The conference adjourned at 6:22 p. m., and within three minutes General Weaver was in the chair, snd the first proceedings of long talked-of and much hoped for (hy many) third party organization were inaugurated. It was in the form of a mass meeting, which was to set in motion the machin ery of the new party. McCone, to whoee well poised mind and wonderful conservatism under try ing ordeals—when storms of abuse and vituperation were hurled upon him—ia duo mors than to any other living mau the chrystalization of this great move ment, may now look upon the results of his untiring energies and see the frui tion of his long cherished hopes. While yet it is a new bora babe, he may be willing that its standard—which will inevitaliy go down in defeat this year—be borne in the hands of another. But, this far-sighted man can see in the near future something more than an in fant in swaddling clothes borne down in defeat. He sees his party in full vigor of manhood gathered the producing classes into the creed as the animals were gath ered the ark, the farmer, the labor and so cialist after his kind.

Corrup tion demands the ballet box, legisla tures, congress, and touches even the ermine of the bench. The people are demoralized. Many of the states have been compelled to isolate their voters at the polling pbioes, in order to pre vent universal intimidation or bribery.
