What Was Done After Dinner at the
Phiei.adeli’hia “National K. X. Convention,
Sixty four of the northern delegates having
seceded, including the Xew York friends of
“Live Hoax George,” Fillmore was nominat
ed without difficulty a single delegate from
some of the States being allowed to cast its
ent-ir vote, ihe Xew Hampshire delegates,
Messrs Colby and Emery, having violated
their mid-night K. X. oath to abide by the
deci-ion of the majority, and bolted, their
places were temporarily supplied by a couple
of i.utsiders, who voted with the south, and
were h-udly cheered therefor. Its bsequent
ly turned out that these substitutis were New
Yorkers So the southern K s’s. cheered
for nothing. arson Brow low moved that
Gen Call, a southern, seceder, be “taken back
into the church;” and upon the general’s re
appearing, the parso stepped out into the
floor and gave him a fraternal hug, to the
great deiigi.t oi the assembled K. N’s. Sub
sequently “Andrew Jackson Do ■nelson” was
nominated for \ ice Piesident (upon the re
commendation of A. 11. 11. Stewart, of Vir
ginia, formerly one of Fillmore’.- cabinet secre
time-,) over iieury J Gardner and others.—
Srewart cooly claimed for Douclson, who was
once General Jackson’.-private secretary, the
honor of having originated and carried out
the principal asurcs of Old Hickory’s ad
mini-trati- n ! Donelson made a speech, and
as-erted that Gen Jackson was a full blooded
K X. because he (I) j never heard him say
nothing against “American principles !” Then
Parson Brownlow was called out to endorse
the nomination-, and expressed his belief that
with Mr. Fillmore and hi- (Mrowiilow,sJ ‘pa
triotic, fat, greasy friend,”,) looking at Donel
son i tney could so use up the democrats that
there would not be a grease sp"t left. n
eoiiclus.ou, no advised tne tcnram.ug members
of the convention ‘to say liugeu and clear out!’
Upon this intimation the assemblage seemed
to h ivt* acted, and very soon after it adjourn
ed. Tiie convention was decidedly a ‘flugen’
affair. — Examine -.

Extract from £..ortl Derby s remarks
on the Queens Speeds.
I should like to have known what is going
on at Teheran and at Washington. (Hear,
hear.) I should have thought that as our
relations with the former court, more especial
ly at the present moment, are of some impor
tance, reference has taken place, and which, I
understand, is of such a character tint our
Ambasador has withdrawn. Then, again,
what are our relations with the Cabinet of,
Washington, where it is reported the retire
ment of our Minister is demanded. (Ileare,
hear.) I should have thought that two
circumstance to merit, at events, a passing
notice in the speech ; and that if her Majesty
had not been enabled to inform us, as on for
mer occasions, that our relations with other
Powers were upon a friendly and amicable
footing at least w.e might have been led to
amagine what danger, or security from danger
existed of any rupture of our amicable rela
tions with Persia and America.
1 hero is no country in the world with which
we are bound by such tics of close and
intimate relationship—none with wh vh our
commercial relations, exclusive of the tics o p
common language and laws, are so vast and
important —none with which a war would be
so mutually suicidal as with the United Sates.
(Hear ) I do not suppose that all the
language which we see used by the American
press, and which would be wholy unworthy of
the dignity of a great country, is adopted by
the American Government ; but if the Govern
ment have made the representations which
they are reported to have made, then I think
our relations with America arc most threat
ning, not to say most alarming,
With regard to what is called the Clayton-
Bulwer treaty, relating to Central America,
so far as I am able to judge, I agree with Her
Majesty’s Government in the explanations
they have given , nor, looking to that treaty
and to the circumstances which preceded it,can
1 conceive that a different construction can
be put upon it from that put upon it by her
Majesty’s government. (Hear, hear.] A
dispute concerning the interpretation of a
treaty is not, however, me which ought to
excite great alarm as to tiie consequences, it
forms a most fitting subject for reference to
the arbitration of a iriendly power, and 1
trust there can be no apprehension of the
rupture of friendly relotious on this account.
(Hear, hear.) 1 wish I could speak as
confidently with regard to the other questions
of dispute, because, although 1 think every
amende and every apology have been made by
her Majesty’s government, I coimot conceal
from myself ■he fact that the government of
tiie Un.ted States have, in the first place, just
and reasonable cause of complaint. (Hear.
When the Foreign Enlistment bill was
under discussion, one objection to that, measure
was, selves in constant disputes with those
Powers wh >se subjects, without tin ir concur
rence, we n ere seeking to enlist ; and say
what you plea e, and guarded as may be the
language of the bill, it is indisputable to my
mind that in carrying out the provisions -f
that Foreign Enlistment bill, if you did not
infringe upon the letter, you have proceeded
in opposition to the spirit of the municipal law
of the United States. (Hear, hear.) I deep
ly regret that the government should have
been betrayed into such an error, and 1 do
not vvouder that at a period of great popular
excitemnr it should have ar -used angry
feeling and an insult on the part of perha, - the
most su-ceptibie nation in the w-r;d
At the same time I will e tcrlain—l won't
Ray confidence. but hope founded on the
sound co.muon sense of that great and intel
ligent community, that when the first feelings
of indignation and of anger have passed away
when the cause for which agitators are
striving to inflame the public mind s!i 11 have
ceased to exist— they will camly and deliberate
ly consider the unintnational character of the
offence in the first place given, and that full
and ample apology which I understand her
Majesty’s government lias made to the of
fended dignity of the United States and which.
I think any great nation, only conscious of its
own strength, would accept as a sufficient
reparation for the wrong done. (Hear, hear.;
1 therefore venture to entertai the hope that
in that quarter more friendly relations will
exist, though at Ihe same time I must say,
tiiat I think her Majesty’s Government would
have acted more wisely with a view to soo he
any aimry feeling, and to pave the wav to
more friend.y relations, if they had inserted
in her Majesty’s speecn a conciliatory para
graph applying to the people of that great
country, instead of passing over the subject in
a contemptuous way, as though it ere unwor
thy a moment’s consideration.

Being unwell, and not knowing whether it proceeded
from derangement of the liver or merely hysterics, I was
persuaded to purchase a box of Dr. M’Lane’s Celebrated
Liver Pills, and before I had used them all, was entirely
relieved, lam now enjoying perfect health, and cheerfully
recommended Dr. M’Lane’s Celebrated Liver Pills to all

Died in Monroe county, on Friday 29th ult. of Scarlet Fever,
John Reuben, son of Jos D. and Martha A. Reynolds, aged
two years one month and twenty foul days. “Whom the
Gods love, die young.” This was truly a child of promise.
He manifested in his affliction a patience and fortitude
which would have done credit, to one of maturer years.—
Ilis heart seemed to be the seat of the affections. Like the
tender blosson of early spring, he opened the ten
drils of hope to the sun of promise, a blighting frost
came, and the flower was nipped in the bud. ‘This mortal
has put on immortality,” and the tender babe thus rudely
torn by the hand of death from the arms of an affectionate
mother,now flutters an angel, around the Throne of God.
“Early, bright, chastens morning dew.
Tie sparkled was exhaled and went to Heaven.”
