The Convention of “ Old Line’’ Y\ higi Roltimore will intlnencc the result of the Presi dential election about as much as a summer’s shower affects the tides of the ocean. Never did any >*t of men get together who repre sented so littlo of the popular interests, and whose declarations express so little of the thou; bt and feeling of the country. It was emphatically and exclusively a convention of politicians and of broken-down politicians too. From \Ym. A. Grnlmm, the great defeated for the Vice Presidency, down to Alexander Rives, the unsuccessful aspirant for the small honors of a county constituency, they all belong to the same class of disappointed placemen.— Rare cabinet of curious antiquities ! Interest ing collection of fossil specimens! Valuable museum of mummies! Such another horlus si. rui of withered leaves and faded flowers no female enthusiast in botanical studies ever wearied polite attendant witlml. lhe list of delegates reads like a census of the antedilu vians. Wo seem to associate with spectres iust risen from a sepulchral sleep of centuries Amiable old gentlemen! How pleasantly they passed their time in impotent imitation of the vigorous bluster of youth. With what an easy and equable current did the stream of garruli- t v flow! No doubt they forgot their gout in the agreeable illusion of the moment. No doubt their dinner of gruel and cracker was relished with an appetite which might have enjoyed roast beef, but for a difficulty of mas tication. A convention implies a purpose and an act of deliberation. Rut, it is obvious front the proceedings of these Old Line Whigs in Balti more, that they got together for the simple ob ject of ratifying the Knownothing nominations of the Philadelphia convention. Listen to the Hon. Wm. A. Graham: •• But he knew tho purpose for which he came here. (Applause.) And the purpose for which the present convention came here was to pcrstindo the people to take Millard Fill more. (Loud cheers and applause for several minutes.) Like the man who when asked if be would take this woman to be his wedded wife, be replied he “ come a purpose.” (Laugh ter and applause.) If they did not do what the people who sent them here expected of them, why they would disappoint them; and the delegates had better not, perhaps, return home again.” This is an honest confession of the fact that the Baltimore Convention of “ Old Line” Whigs is simply an expedient for tho promo tion of Fillmore’s desperate fortunes. The National Intelligencer—the organ par excel lence of the “Old Line” Whigs—is indignant at thefrand on its party and the country. Hear it: “ Wc suppose that this Convention was in- rnded for consolation and deliberation, and not merely to enunciate a foregone conclusion; mil we may be pardoned for admittinga doubt of the freedom of choice of a body of Whigs to whom it is held to be treasonable to offer tho name of Edward Everett, or of Edward Bates, or of Francis Granger, or of John Bell, or of Rufus Choate, or of John M. Clayton, or of any other genuine Whig, North or South, for its consideration.” The “ resolutions” of this Baltimore Conven tion of Old Line Whigs, were given in the En quirer c? vesterday. Did anybody ever read anything naif so funny in the shape of a party platform ?—The first resolution declares that “ the Whigs of the United States have no new principles to announce.” Tho second resolution is a lament over the unhappy condition of the country, which is the result; of course, of Democratic misrule The Democrats have lmd control of the coun try nine years in ten of its history; and its slow ilevelopcment, its poverty, its want of prosperity at homo and power abroad, are all due to Democratic misrule. It is a true bill, and wc have no reply. The third and fourth resolutions deprecate sectional parties. Why then did not “the Whigs of tho United States” denounce the Black Republican organization? Why did they not record an emphatic protest against the election of Fremont ? And why did they not pledge themselves to the support of Buchanan, tho only national candidate, and to co-operate with the Democracy, the only national party ? Perhaps they considered that the best way to manifost their aversion to sectionalism, was by declaring themselves in favor of a candidate who is equally and impartially repudiated in till sections. The tijftk and sixth resolutions declares that the “ Whin of the United States” haveno more sympathy for tho Democracy than for the Black Republicans; and that the only way to save the country is to support Millard Fillmore. The seventh and eighth resolutions formally nominate Fillmore for the Presidency, and ex patiate on his imaginary virtues. He is nomi nated, however, with an ambiguous and indi rect protest against the principles of the Know- nothing party. The ninth resolution nominates Donelson forthe Vice Presidency; the tenth compliments the patriotism of Whigs; and the last orders the publication of tho proceedings of their Con- ventionin Baltimore. The nomination of An drew Jack-on Donelson, a Democrat in the disguise of Knownothingism, attests a wonder ful devotion to Whig principles and the repu tation of the Whig party. This net exposes the true character of the movement. The Baltimore Convention of “Old Line” Whigs is a mere tender to the Philadelphia Convention of Knownothing#. Neither is worth a mo ment's consideration in the canvass, and they me equally contemptible in combination. xr ACOX.CiA..

For the present we will rofer merely to the following three acts of his pres idential term. They are, of themselves, e- nough to condemn him even if all the rest of his life was as free from blame and reproach as—we might say, Mr. Buchanan’s. These three acts are: 1st. His atrocious and unjustifiable procla mation in relation to Cuba. 2d. His failure to execute the Fugitive Slave Law. 3d. His pardon of the negro thieves, Dray ton and Sayres. On the 25th day of April, 1851, Mr. Fill more issued a proclamation stating that there is reason to believe that a milita- moneyed men immediately made him a “ pro position,” which ho declined iakiug himself, but offered (we are told) to get some of his friends to take it.

Knowles, as stated in our last issue, was guil ty of thc dishonorable act of reading, without permission, a Communication intended for this paper. He then humiliated himself by making a request or appeal to me, the locum tenens of the Telegraph, that the Communication should not be published. Finally, in order to shield himself from the odium justly attaching to such baseness, he violated the truth by saying Dear Sir: In your speech at Concert Hall in his paper of last week that he “made no last night, you stated that Georgia would cer- a pp ea i t0 the editor pro. tem. of the Tele- tainly go for Fillmore.

Cold Weather and Slight Frost.—On Tuesday afternoon the temperature of the at mosphere indicated the approach of winter,and at uiglit counterpanes and blankets were in very general request. Early risers on Wed nesday morning noticed white frost, in low places, and on bridges, and tender vegetables were killed. The temperatnro of thc atmosphere was sev eral degrees lower at two o’clock, P. M. to day, than on Tuesday. It seems that wc are rapidly verging to a killing frost.—Aug. Cons.

B. It came off on Saturday, the 20th. At the start a tremendous rain storm set in, and a wild time of it they all had. The rain came and the wind blew a hurricane, and both boats came near swamping.

That “ they who daucemust pay the piper,’ is a saying well illustrated in the following anecdote, scut to us by a friend for preserva tion in the drawer: “ It may not be new,” he says “where the parties arc known—for the story lias been told in print before, by one who was at one time a resident of the county where the circumstance occurred—but it will be new to the great majority of your readers :” Sam happened to arrive at the pleas ant viliiage of S one uiiid autumn even ing, and “ put up” at its only tavern; and as he entered he heard “ music and dancing in an upper ciiamUer.” The landlord, who was an old acpuaiutauce, told him that a ball was going on in the hall above. “ Come, Sam, go up ; there’ll he fuu and good music.” ■ Can’t do it,” said Sam; “haven’t the trim mings ; (he was a hatter, and knew the value of trimmings) look at my shirt. ’Twoaldu’t do.” ■ Never mind that,” said liis friend, “ I can give you a shirt of iny own.” 'and, stepping into an adjoining room, he brought out a shirt big enouglifor Daniel Lambert. Holding it up he said: There, now, is a comfortable, roomy shirt for you.” Ob, that won’t do—I should lose myself in it entirely." Well,” said the good-natured Boniface, “I guess, after all, I can do better for you. One of the girls in the kitchen is ironing some shirts for the boarders, and I can get you oue that will fit, any how ; jest you hold on.” He presently re-appeared with a nice shirt, of quite another pattern, into which, having thrust himself, in an adjoining bed-room, lie made a hasty toilet, and entered the hall room. The other rustic beaux and tbe homely belles, “ did’nt seem to like it” much. The jealous lover went so far as to say : “ I’ll cut the comb of that conceited cock mighty quick, if lie don’t mind his eye !” Meanwhile Sam felt that he was thc “ observed of all observers,’’ and his pride was not a little elated. Presently thero caine the toot! toot! of an old fashioned stage horn in the distance. The coach lumbered up to the inn; the driver threw out the mail, aud went into the har room, it being his stopping place at thc inn for the night. “ Won’t you go up stairs and join the dan cers?” asked the landlord; “they’re having a great time up there; don’t you hear tte fid dle, aud the door a-tremblin f” In those days stage-drivers were of thc most “ popular” cast of the community; and our he ro knowing this, readily consented. He call ed thc maid for a clean shirt. She catnc in with the answer that the land lord had lent it to Sam , to dance in to night, not knowing, or not thinking that the stage-driver would want to use it that night.” Here was a “ pretty kettle of fish!” his only clean “sark” loaned to a stranger to take liis place in thc ball room, to which the landlord had just invited him! He was “tearing mad” nud after a few observations, which were rath er more nervous than elegant, lie entered the ball room, his face flushed, and his x’oice'some- what husky with passion, and strode into the middle of the hall. The music stopped, and thc driver broke the ensuing sileuce with the sudden question: “ Js there a man of the name of Sam here ?” “ That’s me 1” said Sam. stepping forward. Evidently expecting some new evidence of liis udden populartiy. “ Oh 1 you are Sam then, are you ?” “ Yes, and what do you want with me J" “ Nothin’ in partickler, only when you get through with that shirt ot mine that you’ve got on your back, and are struttin’ round in. I’d just thank you to leave it at the bar!” A loud laugh followed the exposure ; this cock’s como tv.is cm ; his feathers drooped; and amidst much caeKiiog be vanished from tbe “gay uu i to,live scene- ’—Harper's Mag azine.
