There is a rumor to-day that Lord Elgin will bo sent as Plenipotentiary to Wash- ington. Another rumor says that Sir Hen- ry Bulwer will be tho envoy. On the 28th the Bank of England re- duced the minimum discount to 5 per cent. Arrangements for the British Dcputa tion to tho Czar's coronation were complet- ed. Mr. and Mrs. and Philip Dallas attended the Queens drawing room reception. Mr. Dallas was invited to dine with the Judge's at the Lorn mayors, hut declined on account of business with Lord Claren- don. A letter from Berlin says that a strong party in Prnsskt is desirous that the gov- ernment, instead of following tho example of Russia and Sweeden, in regard to the capitalization of Sound Dues should fail. The new Russian loan is said will amount to 100,000,000 roubles. The interest is fixed at 6 per cent.

AS some gentlemen of this city, were riding in the neighborhood 6f Oakland yesterday, they \Ww in tto fields, near the road, what appeared to b, » man, entirely naked. They left the vch- cile, and made chase. The naked oljoci made tracks for tho woods, and was onh caught after a hard run. It turned out tr. be a man perfectly wild, cither naturally o, hy insanity, and in a state of absolute nu- *ty. On taking him to the wagon, one ol the party attempted to ('raw over tho cap- tive's neither limbs, a pair of old panta loons that had been procured for that pur P°*c- This he resisted with tho utmos- desperation, and taking advantago of a mo- mentary negligence of his keepers, again left for the woods.

Tho res- olutions adopt d appear to be expr ssions of liberal mind'd patriots and politicians whose aim is not the success of party, btu of Freedom. And they wo willing to co op erate with any, regardless of any previous political predilection, to secure this end.— The resolutions aro somewhat lengthy, and wo must content ourselves with a brief sy- nopsis o° them. lht they declare that tho order except the Declaration of American Independence as the last wi'l and testament of tho Fathers of tho Republic 2d tf-at we have vainly cultivated the spirit of forbearance towards tho South. 3d that the history of tho country for the last thirty years, has demonstrate 1 that every concession of the North, has been made the occasion for now and more exor- bit ant demands of concession - The resolutions also denounco in the strongest terms the recent atrocious, brutal and murderous outrages in Kansas and Washington, and regard them as the ev idtnee of a settled purpose on tho part of the Slave power to crush and subduo the principles of Liberty among us. Tho 9th resolution is as follows: That in tho approaching contest, we aro not to war against the fickle minded old man—\ un- stable as the wind\—Hon. James Buchan- an, of Pennsylvania, but against the dy- nasty of Franslin Picree, with all its chap- ters of abominations, past, present am' pro- spective, fully endorsed fa) tho Cincinnati Convcnton and fully, unreservedly ac- cepted by their nominee for the Presidencv. Hon. James Buchanan, as the platform of liis political faith, and the guide of his life, (should he be clected^in admini tering the Government of the Nation. The resolutions close with tho expression of a determination of the Order to give its aggregate influence, and votive strength, for such candidates of States and Nation, by whomsoever nominated, as\ shall most fully represent tho views aifd principles contained in tho resolutions. Gov E ASTON, Pa., June 11. ov. Reeder arrived in town this even- ing, from Philadelphia. Ho was met ai the depot by a band of music and a large tmmber of citizens, and escorted to tf o ho- tel, when, thanking the citizens for their po fteneas. he retired. Ho made r no allusion *> politics. His reserve puzzles his friends •\•\derably. Rumors says that he spent «he past two days with Mr. Buchanan.

Mr. Hiuplirv Senator from Maine, a Dem- ocrat, and elected as such, has resigned the position of Chairman of the Committee of Commerce in the Senate; and in assigning his reason* for so doing, he said: \ For the nine years ha had held a seat in the Senate, he had almost been a silent member. Upon the subject that had so much agitated tho country, ho had rarely Uttered a word. \ Ho lovod his country mcro than ho loved any party—moro than anything that could agitate and disturb its harmony. Al though he believed tho repeal of the Mis- souri Compromise was a great moral and political wrong, uncqualcd in the annals of the legislation^ this country, and uncqual- cd in tho history of any country—still with a desire to promote harmony, concord and brotherly feeling, ho sat quietly amid all the exciting debates which led to that fiual result, and opposed it not by his voice, but by a consistent, steady and uniform vote— not only in accordance with his own con- victions, but in accordance with the instruc- tions of his Legislature, passed by alhnost an unanimous vote; but the thing was done in violation of tho principles of that party with whom he had always acted, and in vi- olation of tho solemn pledges of the Pres- ident of the Uinted Suites in his inauguia] address. Since, however, that wr< ng has been en\ dorscd by the Cincinnati Convention in its consumation and it results, he lelt it his Juty to declare that, he could no longer maintain party assoeiation.s with any party that insisted upon such Juttiits, and could support no man for Presided who avowed and recognized these doctrines, and what- ever power God IKUI endowed him with, it should be used in the coming contest in op- position to that party.\ The motion to excuse was agreed to. »• • —— m • • • • •• • • • • Murder of an Editor in California. =•5\ o. A Public Meeting was held at Hinckley Hall on Saturday afternoon and evening last, in response to a call signed by many citizens, to consider the Border ruffian out- rages in Kansas; and the assassin like.at- tacks in Congress, upon Northern Con- gressmen.

This Convention met at New York on the 12th, Hon. Robert Conrad of Penn. was'elected as President of tho Convention. On the second day a. communication was received from the National Ex.Rermblicao Committee, addressed to the President of the Convention, stating that tho cali issued for a National Convention to nominate candidates for the Presidency, was an invi- tation to all parties. The communication was referred to a committee for considera- tion. The committee reported, that they highly appreciated tho necessity for concert ed action of all tho elements of opposition to the present Administration, and recom- mended th' passage of a seri^ of resolutions expressive of those sentiments. The resolution-i provido that the Conven- tion proceed to indicate by ballot, its pref- erence of persons to be placed in nomina- tion as candidates for Presidency and Vice Presidency of tho United States, that the persons who shall receive a majority of tho votes, bo declared the choico of the Con- vention ; that when such preference shall bo or tho Racredly guaranteed rights of Free ' appertained, a committee consisting of one San, Wilson at Worcester. I 1 U 111 s Let no one claim for Bnchanan more than ho himself does. Ho was not put in nomination by the Cincinnati Convention, because the course of tho present Adminis- tration was not approved of by the party. Tho North have gained nothing bv his nomination. Iu a speech at Philadelphia ho said: *' Being the representative of tho great Democratic party and not simply Jr.mcs Bu- chanan, I must square my conduct accord- ing to tho platform of that party,a:id insert no new plank, nor take one from it.\ Wo admire the Honesty of Mr. Buchan- an in thus defining his position, and the course he considers himself bound to aelopt; but wo cannot regard his language as that of a statesmin. The aim of the Conven- tion was to select a candidate, who had pot already proved himself obnoxous to the northern wing of the party,by an avowal of ultra Southern views. Pierce or Dougla- would have received tho nomination vith as much cordiality as Buchanan, could tlicv have counted on a singlo northern state.— It was only on the score availability that Mr. Buchanan was taken up. He hat how- ever had tho magnamnity to let th-j coun- try know that he feels bound to yield him- self up, as a willing tool of his party, ami cary out their measures right or wrong. — ——• i | i • i aw .

Mr. Crittendon of Kentucky has intro- duced into the Senate a Prea jiable and res- olution, asking tho President to send Gen. Scott with authority to settle, if possible, the Kansas difficulties. At the last date the resolution was still uuder discussion. An amendment had been offered declaring tho laws of tho Kansas Legislature void. m » m Mr. Fillmore has written home a letter accepting tho nomination for the Presiden- cy. His courage in this is moro to be ad- mireel than his discretion. Men, however often brave danger because they do not krow the extent of it This may be tho case with Mr. Fillmore. Having been ab- sent for sonic months, and takino- the en- couraging letter's of his friends,as an index of public sentiment, he may havo argued himself into tho belief that his chances of an election were as good as the best. But we cannot believe that he would willingly make him elf a martyr if fully apprized of the sickly state of his party. It is not the nature of the man. Ho and his friends count upon a large Southern vote; but in this thiy are doomed to bo disnpppointod, not on the ground, however, that he has not manifested a willingness to foster Southern interest, for in this be has been out-done only by Franklin Pierce At the North be is looked apon as a traitor to freedom, and for that reason will not receive the Northern vote; while at the South he is distrusted, arid his free-soil antecedsnta an refered to as evidence, that bis of love for r urnan bondage are so that in trying to ride two hordes, ha k likely to fall between them. The ut most excitement lias prevailed in San Francisco of late, in regard to the murder of Mr. James H. King, Editor of the Evening Bulletin. It appears, from tho Alia Californian received by tho last steamer, that a notori- ous scoundrel by tho name of Casey, had been alluded to as having formerly been a com id of Sing Sing Prison, N . Y„ in tho columns of tho Bulletin. Upon this Provocation Cas.y attacked Mr. King in tho street, in open day, and shot him through the breast. This happened on tho 14th of May, and Mr. K. survived until the 20lh. But tho people, meanwhile, with one spontaneous outburst, determined to avenge his blood. It was with tho greatest diffi- culty that Casey was conducted by the offi- cers, from the station house to tho jail, and he was permitted to cary a revolver in each hand in self defence. An immense crowd gathered around tho jail, shouting \ drag him out P \ han<r him F a hang him!\ <fec. Tho officers endeavored to keep a suffic ;ent guard to protect the prisoner, but so general was the indignation that but few could be found ready to serve, and even the military dLsbandetl rather than shield so base a wretch. The Vigilance Oiiiuuittoo immediately organized and thousands were found ready to enroll themselves in their cause, & aid in the execution of summary punishment. It was determined to take tho jail by storm. On the ln^rnino; of the 18th tho Yia> laneo Committee, amounting to over two thousand, appeared in tho streets, armed <fe equiped. under command of regularly ap- [>ointed officers,and marched in perfect mili- tary order to the jail. They planted their field piece directly in front of the door, and loaded it deliberately with powder and ball. The leaders then proceeded to the jail and formally demanded the person of Casey. Tho Sheriff, finding it useless to deny them, opened his sell and surrendered him hand-cuffed into their possession. Ho was taken in a carriage to tho rooms of the committee to await a trial before them.— They then returned and demanded another prisoner, the murderer of Coi. Richardson. Ho was also given up and taken to tho the rooms. All this occurred bc'bre the death of Kiug. And when that sad event was an- nounced, tho indignation of tho people knew no bounds. All business was suspended, and all the strcetes of tho city wcro draped in mourn- ing. The people again demanded tho im- mediate cxecutiou of the murderer. But at last accounts tho Vigilance Committee still had possession of both prisoners and- were proceeding with the trial. That full justice will be done thorn there is no doubt. The people have been led to take theso vi- olent measures on account of tho alinist universal failure or the courts to convict their prisoners of these high handed crimes. Corruption revels in tho high places of power, and life and property havo become precarious indeed. Perhaps it is well for Herbert that his crime was committed in Washington instead of San Franciseo. The peoplo there have determined to tako jus- tice into their own hands, and deal it out where it is most riehly deserved. Tho most respectable men of the ciiy have been engaged in the proceedings, and everything has been d-no cooly and deliberately. Mr. King was universally esteemed and leaves a wifo and six young children. and powerful States. The hearts of patri- ots, citizens and christians sicken, and wish, but wish in vain, that power wore given to biot out fro.m our Country's Records these ignoble stains. Resolved, That this meeting viow with indignation and alarm, the present state of affairs in Kansas; indignation at the un- principled and desperate attempt by knav- ish politicians and reckless slaveholders with their fiendish tools and dupes to fasten upon free territory, the incubus of Slavery, and alarm at the notorious fact that the power and iufluenec of the General Gov- ernment have bee>n prostituted to the aid and encouragement of those wdio are tramp- ling under foot the sacred rights and privi- leges secured to us by our glorious cuaati- tion; and we most earnestly call upon all who valuo those rights and privileges wres- ted from a tyrant by the blood and treas ures of our Fathers to forego al 1 party predi- lections and unite heart and hand, and. if necessary by the same means to maintain inviolate her sacred legacy, and we pledge our sacred honor by all constitutional ni\\ins within our power to assist our brethren in Kansas who have nobly withstood their op- pressors—to relievo those of them, their wives and orphans who have suffered in the unequal contort, and by our votes and in- fluence if jiossibhs to i«t in power those only who are well known to be in favor of securing fiecdom in our free stalos and free territories. Resolved, That this meeting; regard with peculiar emotion die dastardly attempt by ihat detestable coward, Brooks of South Carolina to prevent freedom of debate in Congress by his attack upon Senator Sum- ner, an 1 especially do wo icgrct to witness the supiucness and indifference of those to whom we ought to look for the summa- ry punishment of such men as Brooks and others who in sight of the Temple of Liberty aud within its very precincts have sought to consummate the immolation of freedom, commenced and carried ot bv rab id Southerners and Northern doughfaces; and wo pledge ourselves to our litmo-4, en deavors to defend and maintain freedom of speech for all ou r citizens and a iwiaMj freedom of debate in our lialLs of Legisla tion. Resolved, That diis meeting hold in ut- most contempt tho endeavors of certain public journals and of certain individuals to justify the secret outrages upon freedom of sjHjech and upon freemen in Washington and Kansas and the sneaking direa'-s bv some of them of personal violence to other Northern Senators, thit any attempt to ful- fil these threats especially in reference to either of our representatives in Congress should instantly be'met in such manner as shall liest vindicate tho honor of the Em- pire Slate, and that while we would not brook an indignity to our meanest citizen from the greatest European pjwer, wo will no louger allow our greatest men to l>e in- sulted and abused by a mere handful of Southern slaveholders. Resolved, That as much as wo lovo peace ami dread civil war, it is our decided opltu li that tlw recent infringements up- on personal liberty in Washington, in Mis- souri and in Kansas have lieen more gross and alarming than those which led our Rev- olutionary heroes to break the tyrants yoke, and should lead us by all necessary means to prevent or punish any further encroach- ments on freedom of speech or free territo- ry, and that ihoso who would shrink from this%uty are only worthy the name of To- ries and the companionship of Arnold, We luvi: our Vnionsbip of State, liut wo love our Freedom more. A large lepresentation of citizens was pres- ent. Stirring speeches were inado by Jadge Campbell A. Plumb, Rev. Muzzy, Dr. S. Spencer, Rev. Keyes and others. Much onthusiasm prevailed. Wo should be glad to givo tho remarks of tho spoakers but the crowded state of our columns will not ad- mit of it There appeared to be but ono mind in regard to tho subjects, which tho meeting was called to consider. All con- curred in denouncing tho ruffiauly attack upon Senator Sumner, and the outrages that have and aro now being perpetrated in Kansas, and urged a united action on tho part of the free states, as the only way to put an end to them. At the close of tho meeting tho Presi- dent and Secrotory were chosen as a com- mittee to receive contributions for tho aid of those in Kansas who are so noblv stnig- lirig for freedom, and the subscription libe- rally started. from each stote be appointed to confer with /he nominees and also with the Conven- tion that meets at Philadelphia on the lVth, and that the Convention continue its session during the coming (the present) week, un- til the committee report. The resolutions wore unanimously adopt- ed. The Convention proceeded to. ballot- ing for candidate for President The l>a!- lotinir continued throncfa SaAviday and the greater part of M< n.'ay. On the 10th bal- lot, Bank; I ad S3; Fjemont, IS; McLean. 21. Banks was then declared to bo the unanimous choice of tho Conv ntion. A ballot was then had for Vice President.— Fremont 12; Hamlin of Maine 7; Colby of X. II., 5; Johnson of Pa., 50; Campbc 11 of Ohio 7; Ford of Ohio 10; scattering 2.— Tlie nomination of Johnson was then de- clared unanimous. A platform which we have not received, was adopted. There was some dis-atisfaclion on the part of the New Jersey Delegates anil a few others, who seceded, and held a separ- ate Convention, and nominated for Presi- dent, Com. Stockton, and for Vice Prcsi dent, Kenneth Raynor of Xetrth Carolina. The main Convention adjourned to Thurs- dav. At a reseat Republican State Conven- tion at Worcester, Mass., several Northern Members of Congress were present and ad- dressed |be body. The bravo WitsoR spoke wtth impassioned feeling. The fol- low ing passage from him will be found franght with interost: \It was my good fortune to listen to that magnificent speech delivered by Charles Sumner. I havo read the great speech of Webster qf 1830, but in my judgment that effort of Sumner for liberty has never been surpassed by any in this country. When tho aelvocates.of tho Slave Power mshed upon him with the deluded idea that he could not m ct them in debate, he did meet them on tho spot, r.nd they fell before him—and tho resolution was formcel to striko him in the Senate. It was not my good fortune to be by his side; and to the last moment of my life, whatsoever might havo l«een the result, I shall regret that I had not been with hiin when his foes fell npon him. It was my sad duty to take him in my arms and assist in bearing him to his home, place him upon his bed, take from him his bloody garments, and wash tho blood from Ins wounds. I resolved that by the living God I would brand the transaction as a. brutal, murder- ous and cowardly attack. I have been arraigned for these words. I will speak of these transactions only to say, and let it go abroad, that these word? were true — true then, now, and will be true forever, and J will standby and defend them at all times. Gentlemen, Massachusetts has been stir- red by this as.-au!t upon Fiecdom of S'^-ech in tho National Senate. Base as was the attack, it was not the blow struck by B-ooks alone, he was tho instrument of the slave power of the country. This power deman- ded that Sumner should be stricken down. The Richmond Whig approves the act and says that'-Seward should catch it m\\t;\i the southern papers do the same, and ree-1 ommend that Hale and perhaps Wilson be j flomjed into submission. I seek no con- ! trovcrsy shall strike no man for words spo- ken in debate, but shall defi-nd jnyself' against any attack.

Sumner and Butler. The Louisville (Kentucky) Journal, n paper friendly to Mr. Butler, of South Car- olina, in the course of an article which con- demns the cowardly assault of Brooks on Sumner, and hopes for expulsion of the for- mer, incidentally rotates tho following anec- dote: U A pitched battle has long been raging between the champions of these two Slates, and generally the harshest and most oll'eii- sive language has come from the South Caiolinans, who don't like to be ostdonc H: anything. What Sumner may havo said a- bout Senator Butler, we know not, but <mt thiuk that the old Senator, who is cjuito a< fiery-hearted as he is w hitehcaded, would scorn tho thought of letting any Younger man, take a quarrel with an al>olitkmi.st off his hands. We happened to be in the Sen- ate Chamber near tho close of the List ses- sion of Congress during one of the ni<dit discussions of all manner of Slaverv ques- tions. Judge Butler, who is really a gentle- man of many fine and generons persona! qualities, had become exceedingly elate.! t'roin frequent visits to tho Senatorial R-s- tiuraut. Sumner was making a severe speech, that evidently had reference to the forcible expulsion of Mr. Hoar, a venerablo citizen of Massachusetts, from tho limits of South Carolina, but ho did not mcution South Cai- olina's name. Mr. Butler interrupted him by asking, in a fierce tono, 'Does he mean South Carolina f Sumner proceeded, with- out noticing tho interruption, 'd demand,' exclaimed Butler, starting again to his feet 'whether ho means South Carolina^ for if ho does, let him say so, and I will give him something to make him remember me and South Carolina as long as he lives.' Sumner still proceeded quite imperturably, bestow- ing no attention upon his excited opponent just in front of him. 'Docs ho moan South Carolina?'ejaculated Butler for the third time. 'Yes, I do mean Sout i Carolina,' thundered Sumner, with moro spirit than we had thought an abolitionist could possess.

Hnlloicui/s PHh an unfailing Remedy for all disorders of the Chest and Lungs.— Oliver Tompson, of Little Falls New York, was certainly in a most deplorab'e state of health ten weeks ago; his lungs, so the doctors told him, were completely gone, hi; chest, and in fact ma body gcncralrr, had scarcely an atom of flesh on it, so thin had he become. In addition to this he had a cough v.hieh completely shook him to pie- ces (there are his own words); he has just called on Professor Holloway to inform him, that all these complaints have l>een renteved by Ilolloway's Fills, after he had •seal them for seven weeks and two days, and ho now feels better than ever he did in his life.
