THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 24, 1843. Trouble In the "Democratic" Crimp The nomination of David T. Disnev, for Senator, by tho Loco, of Hamilton county, on Saturday last, has occasioned a split in lire ranks of the faith-ful. It socina that Mr. Disney was a Bunt Director at tho lime of his nomination, and a meeting of the disaffected mis called to bo hold at Iho Court llouso in Cincinnati, on Monday ovening last (tho nomination was only made on Saturday) to revorao the nomination, of Mr Disney. Of this mooting the Chroniclo says It scorns to liavo been quite a rally of tho opponents and friends of tho candidate. Mr. Corri introduced the resolutions sdverso to tho nomination, and supported thorn in a speech "at length." Mr. Disney responded in his own defenco, "stated that bo was no longer Bank Director, having re-tigned thai morning, und re-assorted his Anti-Bank pledges." Mr. Corry in turn "rccoivod tho dofwnco of tho nominee," and proceeded in tho very teeth of tho pledges to show that Mr. Disney's profession of Democracy took ground far on tho Whig sido of tho true, Anti-Dank, Locofoco creed. At this crisis Mr. Charles Ilrough camo in and pour ed tho oil of his counsel and eloquence on tho waves, beseeching tho assembly to recollect that success was of moro importance than principles, in reply Mr. Smith insisted upon principles, and tho vote bo-ing taken, it was found that tho meeting protested, "by tho mnjestic name of Democracy, against the nomination of David T.

McNulty, John K. Miller, John Kershaw & Co. It is truly gratifying to sec that the citizens ot Mt. Vernon and of Clinton township at large, aro deter mined hencoforth to do their own business in their own way, and no longer submit to bo ordered into rank and lilo by a town clique consisting of such nicn as Kershaw & Co., who for years past, havo at tempted to rulo both tho town and tho county, regarding the offices of both as spoils belonging to them selves alono and their especial friends.

'. Sun, Brnrflt of tho Tariff to lb Farmer. Tho HutTalo (ommorcial Advertiser, after a state ment from tho Trv Whitr relative to tho amount of cotton and other manufactures exported from the U. o. to China, vory permanently asks: "How many barrels of American flour, beef, pork, lard and butter wore sent to China as a component part of the abovo 15,000,000 yards of cotton cloth as a component part of tho lead, razor strops, &c, exported to that country this year under the fostering intlucnco of tho Whig'Taritl'? Would asingle particle of these agricultural products havo been sent to tho Celestials. In the shape of bread stulTs and provisions? In tlio namo ot common sense tneii, tell us, who can, why our farmers aro not tho most deeply interested in sustaining domestic mauuiac-turcs, and tho protective policy ? i cb sure enough why aro not inc tarmcrs more interested than all other classes in tho preservation ofthcturilT? Every man, woman and child ongaged in manufactures in this county, consume every year many dollars woth of tho farmer's products. If these persons wero not engaged in manufactures thojr would in all probability be engaged in agriculture. If they wero engaged in agriculture, of course they would not need tho products of other persons en gaged in the same pursuit. Consequently tho fur- t would be deprived ot a most valuable mar net. If tic cuuld send his potatoes, wheat, oats, ryo, corn, turnips, beets, c&rriots, hay, beef, pork, mutton, veal, poultry, eggs, butter and cheese, to fcuropo, and dispose uf Ilium there, ho would not bo quite so badly oft' if the homo market bo destroyed. Hut this is impossible. A tew barrels ot wheat and a lew pounds of pork or butter and cheeso is all Uiat ho can dis-poso of abroad, aud these only at uncertain periods. Die English, French and German farmers want their own homo markets for themselves, and their govern ments have to strong a sense ot justice to throw thorn open to foreigners. luw, it tho American tanner docs not have his homo market secured to him, how is he to live? Aud how can a home market bo secured, unless bv encuuraging Hume Industry, or in other words, by aiding to build up in our own country a variety of trades winch givo employment to a variety ot peo ple who do not till the earth, and who will, conso- iiueutly, require tho necessaries ot lite trom those who do till it? Every yard of cloth which is made in this country requires for ttic sustcuunco uf thoso wtio inako it, a certain amount of beef, or other animal fuod, flour, potatoes and other vegetables, milk, butter, lumber for building houses to shelter them, iron to fasten these houses together, leather for shoes and other Mirposcs, and a variety ot other articles which wc lave not room to enumerate. Now all theso articles are the products of the soil, and those who own, ond those who till the soil, derive whatever profit is made hy their sale. Can it be doubted, then, that a tanll which builds up inaiiuluctures is an cssentiul advan tage to the farmer ? Th K-hool illumer Abronri IIkman A. Mooiik, tho bargain and intrigue candidate fur Congress, of the Johnsluwn caucus, is in town, as wo have been credibly informed, although we have not had the tumor ot seeing him. lie is a marvellouxly proper young man as we arc told, the dislike uf tlio lacking Jjocufocoes to the contrary notwithstanding. Hut he stands no c bunco of an e- lection. "Iho party" will not Kiipport him hero. The main run will ho between Kidgway and Stan- bery. Moore and (lilrulh will probably run one another close. However, wc tluiiK Moure will beat his Abolition competitor a little. Hy tho wuy, why dues not Mr. Mooro give us some clue to his opinions ? Not ono voter in fifty of this county ever heard of Ilenmn A. Moore unlit he was nominated lor L-ungrcss at the Johnstown tarce. Why iloes ho not give us his views, or has he no opinions i We see sundry nuestious have been propounded to him by citizens of Columbus, but no resjiousu is forth coming. Wo aro tlianklul lor small m vers, and oro consc-incutly reasonably grateful fur the favor of his pres ence here, in order that we might see what manner uf man ho is. Hut he keens himself very close, iluuoticss on account ot some small compunctions ot conscience at tho way he obtained his nomination. tut that is nothing. Jutriinie, wire-worKing, dis honesty and demngogueism aro tho trado of the politician, and Mr. Mi Hire mut not strain at a gnat nor a saw mill either, it ho wants to make his bread and butler by oflico hunting. This trade of politics is rather a scurvy one, and the proficient must throw modesty and conscirtico to the dogs, lovo tho dear Iteoplo with all his might, and assume to uu wise, honest and patriotic. .Vim tiazetle.

EniTOR : You will confer a favor on the friends of tho great cause of Temperance, by giving place to the following brief description of a glorious and joyful Tet'total JiarUcuc in Perry township, which came off on Saturday last, Uie lUth inst., in tho wild woods, under no covering but the canupy of Heaven, and a green arbor erected by the hand of Cod, Uio mightiest Reformer of all. 'Near Mr. McKinncy's a largo rostrum was reared, around which was seats, supposed sutftcient to accommodate all who might be ablo to attend. t or some days provious to the meeting, Uie citi zens of tho township and society were busy in mak ing the preparations. Invitations were oven to any. and all well wishers, to come without money and without pneo. Allien is due that indclatigable ana good man, Capt. Alexander Shattuck,fur his energy, as well as many others, with few of whom is tho writer acquainted ; but he saw enough to any that in Perry township Uicro is a good and glorious spirit. At an early hour the people began to pour in, and and soon the scuts provided proved entirely too few ; tho woods wcro filled with living good souls; some standing, and others seeking seats upon logs, roots, limbs, &c Yet all was harmony and good humor i all seemed to delight in Uio progress of the good work. Al about 11 o clock, trie exercises begun. Dr. Thompson and Mr. Honor of Columbus, and Mr. Harris, of Milllin, delivered excellent speeches. During tho interregnum of tlio several speeches, the company was entertained by most excellent martial and vocal music. The lublo being by this time spread, and loaded wiUi all the cum forts and good things to mako such a crowd happy, Uio ladies, with tho speakers, wore invited by the Marshals to tako Uieir stund on the inner side of two parallel tables, some M0 to 150 feet long oach, which wero filled by the ladies to a literal jam ; the gentlemen occupied Uie outer sides, and about one-third of theso only were enabled to be accommodated al the lirst table; yet in proper time all wcro satisfied to their liking. What added lite and beauty to tho occasion was, tlio thrco beautiful uniform companies from Wor-thington and the surrounding neighborhood, who pcrturmed their part in most admirable style. 1 heir presence and apparent determination seemed to say to those (if there were any,) who wished to mar tho harmony of tho convention, thus fur shalt thou go and no further. After tho hosts and multitudes had regaled themselves on the good things set before them, and with a plenty of guud cold water, tho mass came to order, and was treated with some beautiful and apprupnuto tuosts read trom the rostrum by Mr. Webster; succeeding each toast, tho roar of the militia's artillery seemed to tell the dying speech of that arch old demon, strong drink, ond each echoed alas, farewell ! farewell ! After the toasts were concluded, Mr Cool and Mr. Mosclcy, from Columbus, entertained tho convention until the approach of tho evening, when the assembly dispersed with tho most fieri ect good order, and each appeared nappy that uiey lad been ono of such a crowd, and seemed to say, when shall our eyes louk uon the like again. It is hoped that every society will do likewise meet in mass convention, combine and strengthen their in fluences, u lid with Uio help of uud drive trom the laud tho accursed cause uf more evil, misery and poverty, than every other disease or curse that has befallen a sinful world. Tho following Odo was handed the writer at tho celebration, us one written by Mr.O'lIarra.of perry township, an uneducated man, and until recently a confirmed drunkard ; but now is one uf the best suns ot temperance, as may be seen, us well as Uie nativu talent, simplicity, true pbiluntlirophy.aud devutiunlo the cause, from the langungo und sentiments express ed in tho Ode.

PnTATors. It is U78 years since Potatoes wore first known in Kurope. They were brought from. Santa Fe, South America, and introduced into Ireland in l.'rtv'.byCapt. Hawkins, in the reign ofllueen KliMbcth. It'is said they wero first planted by tiir Waller Raleigh, who had an estate in Ireland. Alter ho hud planted tho fust potatoes, tho stalks irrew up, and ho perceived upon tho stem a rreeti apple; ho thought that was the fruit, which he hud no idea of being under the earth. Ho caused vomo of these apples to be boiled ? but tmding them nauseous to the tnste, he concluded he had lost his labor, and for some timo thought no more of potatoes. Inwevcr, having sometime after given directions that the ground should bo dug or plowed ; to his very groat surprise he found a plentiful crop of fruit, which proved most grateful to the tasto They soon got into general use, and become the principal food uf tho I null peasantry. Jturiculinrnl Dinner, The Hon. Edward Everett, our Minister to Eng land, was a guest at the annual dinner of tho Koyul Agricultural society, at Derby, on tho 1 1th of July, tnd his health being proposed by the chairman. Earl Sponcor, mado a speech which strikes us as singular ly nappy. Mr. JjVerett, upon rising to return thanks, was received with loud and long continued cheering. no said my lord and gentlemen, 1 assure you, without affectation, that when I consider tho kind manner in which vou. mv lord, have Bnuken of me and my country, Iain almost overpowered by my ieeiings, ana want words to express tdctn (clioers.) cucn a notice, irora such a company, otmvselt and my county, from this intelligent assembly of English noblemen and gcnUemen, and yeomen from you, mv lord, who havo borne tho flug of your country with honor on tho son (cheers,) and wtio sustain a position of such importance and respectability on shore sir, I want words to thank you as I ought i ou nave oonc me no more uian justico, 1 assuro you, in ascribing to mo the kindest feelings toward the land of my fathers (cheers.) My lord, I am a great believer in the efficacy of race and of blood. 1 du not think it is confined to a question of short-horns and licrllords, and south Downs and Lciccsters. 1 believe in tho raco of men as wc 1 as of the infe rior animals (cheers.) Attached us I am ardently, passionately, to my own country, desirous to strain every norvo in her service, nnd if need bo to shed every drop of blood in her defenco (cheers, ) I yet rejoico that my ancestors wcro Uio countrymen of vour ancestors, my lord, the sound ot my nutive language beyond Uio sea ii music to my ears (cheers.) I do rejoico that when I speak my own mother tongue, I speak in tho mother tonguo also of a kindred peoplo like Unit of yourselves (cheers;) nnd, my lord, if there is any occasion if thero in any meeting that ought to bring us together as breth-1 rcn, is it not a meeting of those devoted to tho great parent art, the common interest of civilized nations? (cheers.) Oh, my lord. I bolicvo that if one thousandth part of tho energy, of tho skill, of the treasure that have been expended by rival nations, in tho deadly struggle of what is called "the field1 hud been employed in a generous emulation to see who should excel the other in the arts of peace (cheers,) I believe, uy lord, it this had been done, you tarmcrs would havo driven us diplomatists out of the field (cheers;) at any rate you would leave us very littlo to do in carrying on angry international discussions. You havo been pleased to nlluuo to tho important commercial connection between our two coun trier, it is important and moat earnestly and heartily do I wish that it might hecome more so cheers.) lint there is a thought on this euhiect which has struck me, sinco I listened to your lordship s instructive speech last overling, illustrating the incalculable impurtanco of agricultural pursuits. Tho commerce between our two countries is the largest that is enrried on between any two countries on the face uf the globe. The annual commerce between (Jreat llritain and tho United States is nearly two fold that which you curry on with any oUier peo- l l o. i lie entire annual movement ot tins commerce both ways vnur exports to the United States your imports from the United states--either ot these smtrlv being twico as great as your commerce with any other nation. And yet what think you it amounts to? About as much ns the value ot tho annual crop ol oats and hcans in (treat Untain (cheers.) 1 take tho tact from tho instructive essay of your worthy collaborates, Mr. I'tiscy, Uno more tact lo show the importance ol your ag riculture. Tho wholo foreign commerce of Great Britain, in pursuit of which you overshadow tho ocenn with your fleets, and plant your colonies in tho far ther islands, is actually less in value than the annual grass crops of these islands. (Cheers.) So truly wns it saiu that he was the greatest bone! actor who could ui'tke two blades of grass grow where only one growb'fro. (Cheers.) It dors not become me, rny lord 1 will not say as a stranger oy your kindness you will allow mo to throw oil' that name (cheers) but as your guest, it (hies not become mo to enter into great detmls on this occasion; but it struck me, in going over your implement yard this morning, that howover neglectful and inactive you may have been heretofore in tho improvement of agriculture, there is nothing to complain ot now. It does seem to mo tint there is an amount of sci ence, of mechanical skill, of practical sagacity, of capital, and ot attention, on Uie part ot tho higher orders of diligence ant) persevernnco on tho part ol tho intermediate and laboring classes, combined for the promotion of agriculture, that has never been equalled in tho history of tho world. (Cheers.) And it is a most remarkable (act, it you win pardon me for indulging in a general rctlcclion, that till lately all great discoveries and improvements in agriculture seems to have been the product of tho very earliest mlancy of mankind. Who can tell, my lord, when tin instrument that lies at the basis of all civilization, the plough, was invented ? Who can tell when man first called in tho humble partners ot his labor. the horse, the ox, tlio cow, the swine, tho sheep, and took them into profitable allianco with himself ? If you could mn! out who was tlio shepherd that first caught the wild dog, and taught him to helpand (end the Dock, you ought to rear a monument of brass or a limbic cenotaph to his memory a higher monu ment than was ever raised to hero or monarch ho knows where the cereal grains or the esculent roots wore first cultivated ? There is but ono of them, as you know, Uio potatoo, of which tho history is known all the rest retire hack into Uie darkest antiquity. 1 hey wcro cultivated at a timo when your ancestors were roaming over tho morasses ot tho now bcauti ful free and merry England (Cheers;) when our an costora wero roaming painted savages through tho land. Aye, wticn Uio Romans and ii recks wero living on beech nuts and acorns (hear, hear.) It seems, in tact in rclerenco to Uie prepress of: agriculture, mankind has loiiowcd mat cunours law which Mr. Owen alludcdlo at dinner yostorday tho law that governs Uio ruminating animals in the tropics. He pointed out to us most beautifully that the ruminating animals there have a largo fat hump between tho nhotildor. This is nourished and grows in tho lirst hvo months ot tho year, when Uicro is plenty of food, and they get along with the hump as well as they can ihrouuh the seven succeeding months or scarcity. So it teems with mankind with respect to agricultural discoveries. In tho very infancy of tho raco Uiey got this largo fat hump between the shoulders, and for :I040 yearn Uiey lived upon littlo or nothing else (cheer and laughter.) Tho very plough that wo road of in Virgil wo may now aco in uso in the South of Europe. Wo see it still in tho hands of tho peasantry as we discover it has in relief on Uie scul ptured remains nt antiquity, it is a most pleasing tact that this re vival ol tho great art of agriculture in Uiese latter days ot the world is the work of tho Anirlo-ttaxon raco of which you havo spoken. It has been let to you, and il you win permit me to say to us, living ss we do in this uugemul climate, benoath theso weeping ski us; tho rain was at that moment descending in torrents, and Uie observation wns loudly cheered, it has been left to us to do Uiat which not Italy nor uroeco nas Doen able lo do wan all their sunny Cli mate. Yes, and it is tho want of these tropical luxuries; those enervating oreotea ot tho south, that has giv en you, that has given us, that hardihood, that perso vera nee, that industry, Uiat resolution, thai aro worth all Iho spices and all the gold ol Uio tropics- cheers, Yes, it is this tlmt enables you to mako that boast in which 1 hope you will permit mu, fur my country, to join ".Man t the rmMi-r growta our soil wpnlirt, And whiIi nm riH:iii'd in mir northern W." (cheers.) I beg your pardon for the length of lime I havo detained vou. 1 assure you that when these shouts shall be heard across Uio Atlantic, as they will in ltt or H days, they will be echoed from hearts as warm as yours (dicers.) From Uie lUhntvurs Amcriraa. Amrrlrna llrmsu We publish below a correspondence botwoon Mr. Cur and a highly respectable houso in this city on tho very important subject of American Hemp. Our renders will recollect that tor some timo past tho attention of llio Government has been directed lo the production of this article for Uie uso of tho Navy, and at llio last session of Congress various proposi-lions were introduced, having for their object the en- ' couragement of its growth and preparation. One of theso was tho establishment of agencies in several of tho Western Stntes, authorised lo purchase tho best samples for tho government lo bo used in rigging the National vessels. Tho propriety of some measure of the kind was generally nddmitted, and one or two agents have been recently appointed for tho purpose. Tho extract from the letter which wo publish below proves conclusively otir indepcudciico of KiKsia in tho article of Hemp, nnd it also shows the ability of llio Western States to prodtico it of Uic bosl quality. Tho prico of tho best Hummi Hemp in this city is ffVXt per ton, while, as will he be won from tho extract of the Irtter given below, the American Hemp realised eMl'l,'"' a diflerrnco which a little mora experience will speedily over come. In this important matter wo rejoice that the groat founder of Uie American System has taken the lead. He haa ever been Uie odvocato of whatever may lessen Uie dependenco ol our country on all others and of whatever might benefit tier commercial, manufacturing or agricultural interests and wo now seo him setting an example of usefulness and enterprise which will doubtless bo followed up with the best results. As a further proof of tho estimation in which American Hemp is held, we aro glad to bo ablo to state Uiat a rnorcantileTirm of this city, undoubted judges of its excellence, aro obout to rig a vessol just built by Uiem entirely with cordage mado of American Hemp, and in compliment to the grower havo determined to name her tho "Ashland." Tho following is Uio Correspondence: Ashland 31st July, 1813. Gentlemen : Mr. MonUnollon has informed mo that he placed some Hemp of mine in your hands to dispose of, und that you havo sold Uiat part of it which was hackled at 8S cents per pound, but he has not given me any information as to the residue. I sent tho two parcels as specimens, and should bo glad to know what is thought of them by the manufacturers. I havo believed that our water rotted Hemp, when properly prepared, is equal to tho best Russia Hemp, and ought to command as high a prico. If Uiere he a ditferenco I should bo glad to know what it is. Do mo tho favor to let uio hear from you. I am, respectfully, Your ob't. servant, IF. CLAY. To Messrs. R. Garrett & Sons, Baltimore. Wei mako Uio following extract from the answer to the above t "Wo procured for Uie hackled hemp Uie hiirhest prico that an articlo of American growth has commanded in this market. The manufacturers inform us Uiat your belief is correct, that water rotted hemp, wnen propeny prepared, is equal to the best Russia. They stalo that in brightness and strength this parcel has proved fully equal if not superior to primo vunmu. ur an uriiciu similar hj uie ii. u. il. perfectly cleaned, wo feel assured from Uio present test that the full prico of Russia can bo realized. This lot has proved moro satisfactory in manufacturinir. and wo arc advised is tho best American llomp Uiat has ever appeared in this market." The specimen alluded to above, was sold in oar- cols of one to two tons each, to several of our principal manufacturers, who all concur in giving it tho nigiicst commendation, Uio only complaint being that it was not quite bo well cleaned as it might uavo uccn, a portion ol it lias been used in tho manufacture of such articles of cordago as ordinari ly require uio ueut uussia, and the result has been entirely satisfactory. Tho prico obtained for tho Hemp, 8fi cents per lb. or $11)1,45 per tun, falls only a fraction below that of the imported article, and is strong evidence Uiat with but a littlo moro care in cleaning, the full prico of Russia may be realized. Tho unqualified character of tho articlo for ils brightness and' strength, as given bythoso who havo useu ii, auuiorizoB too hope that the day is not tar distant when this country will be able successfully to competo with any other in this branch of business.In addition to the foregoing wo find Uio followim? testimony in behalf uf American Hemp by an English gentleman now traveling in this country, in a recent New York paper. Coming, as this does, from a source which would not bo likely to eive more credit to tho United Slates than candor compels, it certainly is not without its due weight: "1 saw llio Stales' navy yard stores and engines and machinery for spinning or twisting cables, which is fitr superior to any thing of the kind I have seen in Knglnnd. Tho Americans arc growing Uicirown hemp on tho Mississippi; and tho foreman of tho rope-walk says that it is much superior and will stand a much higher test than the Russian Hemp, and that tho cables are much better and stronger uian uieuesi uiey can got irotn nngiund." TerrlOlc Hall NMrsi. Tho Mauince River Tunes of August 12, says: This city was visited on Wednesday last with ono of tho most severe and destructive hail storms that we over witnessed. It approached iislrjin tho West in the form of a black massivo cloud, betokening rain, and first introduced itself in Uiat capacity, but before it had scarcely laid tho dust in tho streets, a perfect gust of wind, accompanied it, interspersed ss it was with the most vivid Hashes of lightning and heavy claps of thunder. Almost every window in our city Ike in it the West bears ovidenco of its fur v. It is estimated Umt somo thrco thousand lights of glass were broken by it and wn learn that it was little less destructive in Tcrryshurg. It stripped Uie trees of tho foliage, beat vegetation into the ground and pretty nearly destroyed somo fields of corn. Kour schooners were in port, it loosened Uiem from their fastenings, and drove two of them on shore some distance below town, aud led tho others nt the mercy of tho storm in the river. Several canal boats were also loosed from their fns ten tugs, and were dashing about tho docks against eacli other in tho utmost confusion A horse was killed by lightning a little back of our ollico. So completely submerged was the ground with hail stones, that they could bo gathered up by the pail full, and some of them a good deal larger than a "good sixed pioco of chalk." Wo picked up two or three which exceeded an ounce in weight. Our devil gathered enough to keep us in ice water for a day or two. Bold Rorher, but withal a gentleman lt TiiiKr! ltctwocn tho hours of 1 and 2 o'clock yesterday morning tho dwelling house of Mr. N. C Hills, on Miami street, was entered by a burglar through a kitchen window. He passed through tho dining room and into tho sleeping apartment of Mr. II., from which ho abstracted the entire suit worn by Mr. H. Uio day pro v ions, iucluding hat aud stock, aud also a gold watch lying convenient. In the pockets of the clothing were several dollars in chango and a pocket book containing between $.10 and 10 in current funds, some in counterfeit and un current money, a parcel of County Orders, tnd notes to tho amount of about $1000. As the thief was hearing olDiis booty ho made a noiso that awakened Mr. H., who sprung from hia bod, but too Into to secure or get sight of tho rascal. It appears Uiat in hurrying Uirough tho back yard tho rubber stumbled over the clothes line, where ho dropped tho wntch, and that in scaling tho fence he also fell and dropped tho hat and stock. Ho Uien mado his way to somo lumber on Prospect street, where ho examined the pocket book, secured Uio money, good and bad, carefully lied Uie clothing up in a handkerchief tumid in ono of tho pockets, and It ft tho buudlo whore it would readily bo soon in tho door yard of a friend of Mr. H. Krom Uienco ho appears lo havo Jono to Isuko street, as all Uio notes and county or-crs were found in tho morning carefully deposited near tho door of nn acquaintance of Mr. 11. residing in that street. Tims by tho carelessness and very considerate as well as gentlemanly conduct of tho burglur, Mr. II. is minus only somo $10 in valuables. A rare thief truly, and no doubt an adroit one.

THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 24, 1843. Trouble In the "Democratic" Crimp The nomination of David T. Disnev, for Senator, by tho Loco, of Hamilton county, on Saturday last, has occasioned a split in lire ranks of the faith-ful. It socina that Mr. Disney was a Bunt Director at tho lime of his nomination, and a meeting of the disaffected mis called to bo hold at Iho Court llouso in Cincinnati, on Monday ovening last (tho nomination was only made on Saturday) to revorao the nomination, of Mr Disney. Of this mooting the Chroniclo says It scorns to liavo been quite a rally of tho opponents and friends of tho candidate. Mr. Corri introduced the resolutions sdverso to tho nomination, and supported thorn in a speech "at length." Mr. Disney responded in his own defenco, "stated that bo was no longer Bank Director, having re-tigned thai morning, und re-assorted his Anti-Bank pledges." Mr. Corry in turn "rccoivod tho dofwnco of tho nominee," and proceeded in tho very teeth of tho pledges to show that Mr. Disney's profession of Democracy took ground far on tho Whig sido of tho true, Anti-Dank, Locofoco creed. At this crisis Mr. Charles Ilrough camo in and pour ed tho oil of his counsel and eloquence on tho waves, beseeching tho assembly to recollect that success was of moro importance than principles, in reply Mr. Smith insisted upon principles, and tho vote bo-ing taken, it was found that tho meeting protested, "by tho mnjestic name of Democracy, against the nomination of David T.

Vernon and of Clinton township at large, aro deter mined hencoforth to do their own business in their own way, and no longer submit to bo ordered into rank and lilo by a town clique consisting of such nicn as Kershaw & Co., who for years past, havo at tempted to rulo both tho town and tho county, regarding the offices of both as spoils belonging to them selves alono and their especial friends.

'. Sun, Brnrflt of tho Tariff to lb Farmer. Tho HutTalo (ommorcial Advertiser, after a state ment from tho Trv Whitr relative to tho amount of cotton and other manufactures exported from the U. o. to China, vory permanently asks: "How many barrels of American flour, beef, pork, lard and butter wore sent to China as a component part of the abovo 15,000,000 yards of cotton cloth as a component part of tho lead, razor strops, &c, exported to that country this year under the fostering intlucnco of tho Whig'Taritl'? Would asingle particle of these agricultural products havo been sent to tho Celestials. In the shape of bread stulTs and provisions? In tlio namo ot common sense tneii, tell us, who can, why our farmers aro not tho most deeply interested in sustaining domestic mauuiac-turcs, and tho protective policy ? i cb sure enough why aro not inc tarmcrs more interested than all other classes in tho preservation ofthcturilT? Every man, woman and child ongaged in manufactures in this county, consume every year many dollars woth of tho farmer's products. If these persons wero not engaged in manufactures thojr would in all probability be engaged in agriculture. If they wero engaged in agriculture, of course they would not need tho products of other persons en gaged in the same pursuit. Consequently tho fur- t would be deprived ot a most valuable mar net. If tic cuuld send his potatoes, wheat, oats, ryo, corn, turnips, beets, c&rriots, hay, beef, pork, mutton, veal, poultry, eggs, butter and cheese, to fcuropo, and dispose uf Ilium there, ho would not bo quite so badly oft' if the homo market bo destroyed. Hut this is impossible. A tew barrels ot wheat and a lew pounds of pork or butter and cheeso is all Uiat ho can dis-poso of abroad, aud these only at uncertain periods. Die English, French and German farmers want their own homo markets for themselves, and their govern ments have to strong a sense ot justice to throw thorn open to foreigners. luw, it tho American tanner docs not have his homo market secured to him, how is he to live? Aud how can a home market bo secured, unless bv encuuraging Hume Industry, or in other words, by aiding to build up in our own country a variety of trades winch givo employment to a variety ot peo ple who do not till the earth, and who will, conso- iiueutly, require tho necessaries ot lite trom those who do till it? Every yard of cloth which is made in this country requires for ttic sustcuunco uf thoso wtio inako it, a certain amount of beef, or other animal fuod, flour, potatoes and other vegetables, milk, butter, lumber for building houses to shelter them, iron to fasten these houses together, leather for shoes and other Mirposcs, and a variety ot other articles which wc lave not room to enumerate. Now all theso articles are the products of the soil, and those who own, ond those who till the soil, derive whatever profit is made hy their sale. Can it be doubted, then, that a tanll which builds up inaiiuluctures is an cssentiul advan tage to the farmer ? Th K-hool illumer Abronri IIkman A. Mooiik, tho bargain and intrigue candidate fur Congress, of the Johnsluwn caucus, is in town, as wo have been credibly informed, although we have not had the tumor ot seeing him. lie is a marvellouxly proper young man as we arc told, the dislike uf tlio lacking Jjocufocoes to the contrary notwithstanding. Hut he stands no c bunco of an e- lection. "Iho party" will not Kiipport him hero. The main run will ho between Kidgway and Stan- bery. Moore and (lilrulh will probably run one another close. However, wc tluiiK Moure will beat his Abolition competitor a little. Hy tho wuy, why dues not Mr. Mooro give us some clue to his opinions ? Not ono voter in fifty of this county ever heard of Ilenmn A. Moore unlit he was nominated lor L-ungrcss at the Johnstown tarce. Why iloes ho not give us his views, or has he no opinions i We see sundry nuestious have been propounded to him by citizens of Columbus, but no resjiousu is forth coming. Wo aro tlianklul lor small m vers, and oro consc-incutly reasonably grateful fur the favor of his pres ence here, in order that we might see what manner uf man ho is. Hut he keens himself very close, iluuoticss on account ot some small compunctions ot conscience at tho way he obtained his nomination. tut that is nothing. Jutriinie, wire-worKing, dis honesty and demngogueism aro tho trado of the politician, and Mr. Mi Hire mut not strain at a gnat nor a saw mill either, it ho wants to make his bread and butler by oflico hunting.

'Near Mr. McKinncy's a largo rostrum was reared, around which was seats, supposed sutftcient to accommodate all who might be ablo to attend. t or some days provious to the meeting, Uie citi zens of tho township and society were busy in mak ing the preparations. Invitations were oven to any. and all well wishers, to come without money and without pneo. Allien is due that indclatigable ana good man, Capt. Alexander Shattuck,fur his energy, as well as many others, with few of whom is tho writer acquainted ; but he saw enough to any that in Perry township Uicro is a good and glorious spirit. At an early hour the people began to pour in, and and soon the scuts provided proved entirely too few ; tho woods wcro filled with living good souls; some standing, and others seeking seats upon logs, roots, limbs, &c Yet all was harmony and good humor i all seemed to delight in Uio progress of the good work. Al about 11 o clock, trie exercises begun. Dr. Thompson and Mr. Honor of Columbus, and Mr. Harris, of Milllin, delivered excellent speeches. During tho interregnum of tlio several speeches, the company was entertained by most excellent martial and vocal music. The lublo being by this time spread, and loaded wiUi all the cum forts and good things to mako such a crowd happy, Uio ladies, with tho speakers, wore invited by the Marshals to tako Uieir stund on the inner side of two parallel tables, some M0 to 150 feet long oach, which wero filled by the ladies to a literal jam ; the gentlemen occupied Uie outer sides, and about one-third of theso only were enabled to be accommodated al the lirst table; yet in proper time all wcro satisfied to their liking. What added lite and beauty to tho occasion was, tlio thrco beautiful uniform companies from Wor-thington and the surrounding neighborhood, who pcrturmed their part in most admirable style. 1 heir presence and apparent determination seemed to say to those (if there were any,) who wished to mar tho harmony of tho convention, thus fur shalt thou go and no further. After tho hosts and multitudes had regaled themselves on the good things set before them, and with a plenty of guud cold water, tho mass came to order, and was treated with some beautiful and apprupnuto tuosts read trom the rostrum by Mr. Webster; succeeding each toast, tho roar of the militia's artillery seemed to tell the dying speech of that arch old demon, strong drink, ond each echoed alas, farewell ! farewell ! After the toasts were concluded, Mr Cool and Mr. Mosclcy, from Columbus, entertained tho convention until the approach of tho evening, when the assembly dispersed with tho most fieri ect good order, and each appeared nappy that uiey lad been ono of such a crowd, and seemed to say, when shall our eyes louk uon the like again. It is hoped that every society will do likewise meet in mass convention, combine and strengthen their in fluences, u lid with Uio help of uud drive trom the laud tho accursed cause uf more evil, misery and poverty, than every other disease or curse that has befallen a sinful world.

PnTATors. It is U78 years since Potatoes wore first known in Kurope. They were brought from. Santa Fe, South America, and introduced into Ireland in l.'rtv'.byCapt. Hawkins, in the reign ofllueen KliMbcth. It'is said they wero first planted by tiir Waller Raleigh, who had an estate in Ireland. Alter ho hud planted tho fust potatoes, tho stalks irrew up, and ho perceived upon tho stem a rreeti apple; ho thought that was the fruit, which he hud no idea of being under the earth. Ho caused vomo of these apples to be boiled ? but tmding them nauseous to the tnste, he concluded he had lost his labor, and for some timo thought no more of potatoes. Inwevcr, having sometime after given directions that the ground should bo dug or plowed ; to his very groat surprise he found a plentiful crop of fruit, which proved most grateful to the tasto They soon got into general use, and become the principal food uf tho I null peasantry. Jturiculinrnl Dinner, The Hon. Edward Everett, our Minister to Eng land, was a guest at the annual dinner of tho Koyul Agricultural society, at Derby, on tho 1 1th of July, tnd his health being proposed by the chairman. Earl Sponcor, mado a speech which strikes us as singular ly nappy. Mr. JjVerett, upon rising to return thanks, was received with loud and long continued cheering. no said my lord and gentlemen, 1 assure you, without affectation, that when I consider tho kind manner in which vou. mv lord, have Bnuken of me and my country, Iain almost overpowered by my ieeiings, ana want words to express tdctn (clioers.) cucn a notice, irora such a company, otmvselt and my county, from this intelligent assembly of English noblemen and gcnUemen, and yeomen from you, mv lord, who havo borne tho flug of your country with honor on tho son (cheers,) and wtio sustain a position of such importance and respectability on shore sir, I want words to thank you as I ought i ou nave oonc me no more uian justico, 1 assuro you, in ascribing to mo the kindest feelings toward the land of my fathers (cheers.) My lord, I am a great believer in the efficacy of race and of blood. 1 du not think it is confined to a question of short-horns and licrllords, and south Downs and Lciccsters. 1 believe in tho raco of men as wc 1 as of the infe rior animals (cheers.) Attached us I am ardently, passionately, to my own country, desirous to strain every norvo in her service, nnd if need bo to shed every drop of blood in her defenco (cheers, ) I yet rejoico that my ancestors wcro Uio countrymen of vour ancestors, my lord, the sound ot my nutive language beyond Uio sea ii music to my ears (cheers.) I do rejoico that when I speak my own mother tongue, I speak in tho mother tonguo also of a kindred peoplo like Unit of yourselves (cheers;) nnd, my lord, if there is any occasion if thero in any meeting that ought to bring us together as breth-1 rcn, is it not a meeting of those devoted to tho great parent art, the common interest of civilized nations? (cheers.) Oh, my lord. I bolicvo that if one thousandth part of tho energy, of tho skill, of the treasure that have been expended by rival nations, in tho deadly struggle of what is called "the field1 hud been employed in a generous emulation to see who should excel the other in the arts of peace (cheers,) I believe, uy lord, it this had been done, you tarmcrs would havo driven us diplomatists out of the field (cheers;) at any rate you would leave us very littlo to do in carrying on angry international discussions. You havo been pleased to nlluuo to tho important commercial connection between our two coun trier, it is important and moat earnestly and heartily do I wish that it might hecome more so cheers.) lint there is a thought on this euhiect which has struck me, sinco I listened to your lordship s instructive speech last overling, illustrating the incalculable impurtanco of agricultural pursuits. Tho commerce between our two countries is the largest that is enrried on between any two countries on the face uf the globe. The annual commerce between (Jreat llritain and tho United States is nearly two fold that which you curry on with any oUier peo- l l o. i lie entire annual movement ot tins commerce both ways vnur exports to the United States your imports from the United states--either ot these smtrlv being twico as great as your commerce with any other nation. And yet what think you it amounts to? About as much ns the value ot tho annual crop ol oats and hcans in (treat Untain (cheers.) 1 take tho tact from tho instructive essay of your worthy collaborates, Mr. I'tiscy, Uno more tact lo show the importance ol your ag riculture. Tho wholo foreign commerce of Great Britain, in pursuit of which you overshadow tho ocenn with your fleets, and plant your colonies in tho far ther islands, is actually less in value than the annual grass crops of these islands. (Cheers.) So truly wns it saiu that he was the greatest bone! actor who could ui'tke two blades of grass grow where only one growb'fro. (Cheers.) It dors not become me, rny lord 1 will not say as a stranger oy your kindness you will allow mo to throw oil' that name (cheers) but as your guest, it (hies not become mo to enter into great detmls on this occasion; but it struck me, in going over your implement yard this morning, that howover neglectful and inactive you may have been heretofore in tho improvement of agriculture, there is nothing to complain ot now. It does seem to mo tint there is an amount of sci ence, of mechanical skill, of practical sagacity, of capital, and ot attention, on Uie part ot tho higher orders of diligence ant) persevernnco on tho part ol tho intermediate and laboring classes, combined for the promotion of agriculture, that has never been equalled in tho history of tho world. (Cheers.) And it is a most remarkable (act, it you win pardon me for indulging in a general rctlcclion, that till lately all great discoveries and improvements in agriculture seems to have been the product of tho very earliest mlancy of mankind. Who can tell, my lord, when tin instrument that lies at the basis of all civilization, the plough, was invented ? Who can tell when man first called in tho humble partners ot his labor. the horse, the ox, tlio cow, the swine, tho sheep, and took them into profitable allianco with himself ? If you could mn! out who was tlio shepherd that first caught the wild dog, and taught him to helpand (end the Dock, you ought to rear a monument of brass or a limbic cenotaph to his memory a higher monu ment than was ever raised to hero or monarch ho knows where the cereal grains or the esculent roots wore first cultivated ? There is but ono of them, as you know, Uio potatoo, of which tho history is known all the rest retire hack into Uie darkest antiquity. 1 hey wcro cultivated at a timo when your ancestors were roaming over tho morasses ot tho now bcauti ful free and merry England (Cheers;) when our an costora wero roaming painted savages through tho land. Aye, wticn Uio Romans and ii recks wero living on beech nuts and acorns (hear, hear.) It seems, in tact in rclerenco to Uie prepress of: agriculture, mankind has loiiowcd mat cunours law which Mr. Owen alludcdlo at dinner yostorday tho law that governs Uio ruminating animals in the tropics. He pointed out to us most beautifully that the ruminating animals there have a largo fat hump between tho nhotildor. This is nourished and grows in tho lirst hvo months ot tho year, when Uicro is plenty of food, and they get along with the hump as well as they can ihrouuh the seven succeeding months or scarcity. So it teems with mankind with respect to agricultural discoveries. In tho very infancy of tho raco Uiey got this largo fat hump between the shoulders, and for :I040 yearn Uiey lived upon littlo or nothing else (cheer and laughter.) Tho very plough that wo road of in Virgil wo may now aco in uso in the South of Europe. Wo see it still in tho hands of tho peasantry as we discover it has in relief on Uie scul ptured remains nt antiquity, it is a most pleasing tact that this re vival ol tho great art of agriculture in Uiese latter days ot the world is the work of tho Anirlo-ttaxon raco of which you havo spoken. It has been let to you, and il you win permit me to say to us, living ss we do in this uugemul climate, benoath theso weeping ski us; tho rain was at that moment descending in torrents, and Uie observation wns loudly cheered, it has been left to us to do Uiat which not Italy nor uroeco nas Doen able lo do wan all their sunny Cli mate. Yes, and it is tho want of these tropical luxuries; those enervating oreotea ot tho south, that has giv en you, that has given us, that hardihood, that perso vera nee, that industry, Uiat resolution, thai aro worth all Iho spices and all the gold ol Uio tropics- cheers, Yes, it is this tlmt enables you to mako that boast in which 1 hope you will permit mu, fur my country, to join ".Man t the rmMi-r growta our soil wpnlirt, And whiIi nm riH:iii'd in mir northern W." (cheers.) I beg your pardon for the length of lime I havo detained vou. 1 assure you that when these shouts shall be heard across Uio Atlantic, as they will in ltt or H days, they will be echoed from hearts as warm as yours (dicers.) From Uie lUhntvurs Amcriraa. Amrrlrna llrmsu We publish below a correspondence botwoon Mr. Cur and a highly respectable houso in this city on tho very important subject of American Hemp. Our renders will recollect that tor some timo past tho attention of llio Government has been directed lo the production of this article for Uie uso of tho Navy, and at llio last session of Congress various proposi-lions were introduced, having for their object the en- ' couragement of its growth and preparation. One of theso was tho establishment of agencies in several of tho Western Stntes, authorised lo purchase tho best samples for tho government lo bo used in rigging the National vessels. Tho propriety of some measure of the kind was generally nddmitted, and one or two agents have been recently appointed for tho purpose. Tho extract from the letter which wo publish below proves conclusively otir indepcudciico of KiKsia in tho article of Hemp, nnd it also shows the ability of llio Western States to prodtico it of Uic bosl quality. Tho prico of tho best Hummi Hemp in this city is ffVXt per ton, while, as will he be won from tho extract of the Irtter given below, the American Hemp realised eMl'l,'"' a diflerrnco which a little mora experience will speedily over come. In this important matter wo rejoice that the groat founder of Uie American System has taken the lead. He haa ever been Uie odvocato of whatever may lessen Uie dependenco ol our country on all others and of whatever might benefit tier commercial, manufacturing or agricultural interests and wo now seo him setting an example of usefulness and enterprise which will doubtless bo followed up with the best results. As a further proof of tho estimation in which American Hemp is held, we aro glad to bo ablo to state Uiat a rnorcantileTirm of this city, undoubted judges of its excellence, aro obout to rig a vessol just built by Uiem entirely with cordage mado of American Hemp, and in compliment to the grower havo determined to name her tho "Ashland." Tho following is Uio Correspondence: Ashland 31st July, 1813. Gentlemen : Mr. MonUnollon has informed mo that he placed some Hemp of mine in your hands to dispose of, und that you havo sold Uiat part of it which was hackled at 8S cents per pound, but he has not given me any information as to the residue. I sent tho two parcels as specimens, and should bo glad to know what is thought of them by the manufacturers. I havo believed that our water rotted Hemp, when properly prepared, is equal to tho best Russia Hemp, and ought to command as high a prico. If Uiere he a ditferenco I should bo glad to know what it is. Do mo tho favor to let uio hear from you. I am, respectfully, Your ob't. servant, IF. CLAY. To Messrs. R. Garrett & Sons, Baltimore. Wei mako Uio following extract from the answer to the above t "Wo procured for Uie hackled hemp Uie hiirhest prico that an articlo of American growth has commanded in this market. The manufacturers inform us Uiat your belief is correct, that water rotted hemp, wnen propeny prepared, is equal to the best Russia. They stalo that in brightness and strength this parcel has proved fully equal if not superior to primo vunmu. ur an uriiciu similar hj uie ii. u. il. perfectly cleaned, wo feel assured from Uio present test that the full prico of Russia can bo realized. This lot has proved moro satisfactory in manufacturinir. and wo arc advised is tho best American llomp Uiat has ever appeared in this market." The specimen alluded to above, was sold in oar- cols of one to two tons each, to several of our principal manufacturers, who all concur in giving it tho nigiicst commendation, Uio only complaint being that it was not quite bo well cleaned as it might uavo uccn, a portion ol it lias been used in tho manufacture of such articles of cordago as ordinari ly require uio ueut uussia, and the result has been entirely satisfactory. Tho prico obtained for tho Hemp, 8fi cents per lb. or $11)1,45 per tun, falls only a fraction below that of the imported article, and is strong evidence Uiat with but a littlo moro care in cleaning, the full prico of Russia may be realized. Tho unqualified character of tho articlo for ils brightness and' strength, as given bythoso who havo useu ii, auuiorizoB too hope that the day is not tar distant when this country will be able successfully to competo with any other in this branch of business.In addition to the foregoing wo find Uio followim? testimony in behalf uf American Hemp by an English gentleman now traveling in this country, in a recent New York paper. Coming, as this does, from a source which would not bo likely to eive more credit to tho United Slates than candor compels, it certainly is not without its due weight: "1 saw llio Stales' navy yard stores and engines and machinery for spinning or twisting cables, which is fitr superior to any thing of the kind I have seen in Knglnnd. Tho Americans arc growing Uicirown hemp on tho Mississippi; and tho foreman of tho rope-walk says that it is much superior and will stand a much higher test than the Russian Hemp, and that tho cables are much better and stronger uian uieuesi uiey can got irotn nngiund." TerrlOlc Hall NMrsi. Tho Mauince River Tunes of August 12, says: This city was visited on Wednesday last with ono of tho most severe and destructive hail storms that we over witnessed. It approached iislrjin tho West in the form of a black massivo cloud, betokening rain, and first introduced itself in Uiat capacity, but before it had scarcely laid tho dust in tho streets, a perfect gust of wind, accompanied it, interspersed ss it was with the most vivid Hashes of lightning and heavy claps of thunder. Almost every window in our city Ike in it the West bears ovidenco of its fur v. It is estimated Umt somo thrco thousand lights of glass were broken by it and wn learn that it was little less destructive in Tcrryshurg. It stripped Uie trees of tho foliage, beat vegetation into the ground and pretty nearly destroyed somo fields of corn. Kour schooners were in port, it loosened Uiem from their fastenings, and drove two of them on shore some distance below town, aud led tho others nt the mercy of tho storm in the river. Several canal boats were also loosed from their fns ten tugs, and were dashing about tho docks against eacli other in tho utmost confusion A horse was killed by lightning a little back of our ollico. So completely submerged was the ground with hail stones, that they could bo gathered up by the pail full, and some of them a good deal larger than a "good sixed pioco of chalk." Wo picked up two or three which exceeded an ounce in weight. Our devil gathered enough to keep us in ice water for a day or two. Bold Rorher, but withal a gentleman lt TiiiKr! ltctwocn tho hours of 1 and 2 o'clock yesterday morning tho dwelling house of Mr. N. C Hills, on Miami street, was entered by a burglar through a kitchen window. He passed through tho dining room and into tho sleeping apartment of Mr. II., from which ho abstracted the entire suit worn by Mr. H. Uio day pro v ions, iucluding hat aud stock, aud also a gold watch lying convenient. In the pockets of the clothing were several dollars in chango and a pocket book containing between $.10 and 10 in current funds, some in counterfeit and un current money, a parcel of County Orders, tnd notes to tho amount of about $1000. As the thief was hearing olDiis booty ho made a noiso that awakened Mr. H., who sprung from hia bod, but too Into to secure or get sight of tho rascal. It appears Uiat in hurrying Uirough tho back yard tho rubber stumbled over the clothes line, where ho dropped tho wntch, and that in scaling tho fence he also fell and dropped tho hat and stock. Ho Uien mado his way to somo lumber on Prospect street, where ho examined the pocket book, secured Uio money, good and bad, carefully lied Uie clothing up in a handkerchief tumid in ono of tho pockets, and It ft tho buudlo whore it would readily bo soon in tho door yard of a friend of Mr. H.

Tims by tho carelessness and very considerate as well as gentlemanly conduct of tho burglur, Mr. II. is minus only somo $10 in valuables. A rare thief truly, and no doubt an adroit one.
