W?E PRO* TUB HOT. J. J. 5 .
From the Chester Standard.
My DkarSik: I have had various npplicaiiom
from newspaper editors to know
u?y opinion of llio Cincinnati Convention.
These I have declined to answer, because 1
presume the object was to give publicity
through the paper*. The subject is a
grave one, to bo decided by argument and
not by the inAuence of name*. My positiou
here does not enable mo to form belter
opinions than may bo formed by others
nt homo, but I have on Ibis to on most
other questions an opinion which has never
been withheld from my private friends, and
such as it is, I have no hesitation in giving
it to you. There are many objections tu
such assemblies, the greatest of which is
the mode of organization. If they could
be constituted so as to reflect truly public
opinion, I do not eeo nrry very great ob
jection. Hut ibis is not 60. In the pri
inary assemblies the chief actors aro in
triguing politicians who look*to the distri
bution of the iramenso patronage of the
government more than the great principles
ui i ne pariy.
Tho great object should be to select \1m
man who is the best exponent of the prin
ciple* of the party to which wo belong, ex
eluding entirely all solti.-h considerations
Hut whitot'man's nature is unchanged w<
shall cover realize this. The worst syinp
torn of tho limo is, the numerous herd o
ofHea hunters. Tho question with them ii
not who will bost carry out tho great prin
ciplvs of tho Constitution, but from whon
arc they mo?t likely to obtain nn ollice
- Tkcro nro (in alt tho North and West am
somewhat at tho South) the active polili
cians who manago to get themselves ap
pointed delegate*, with a view to niak*
tho be>t bargain for themselves. Tht
mania of offioo seeking has as yet but liltl?
influence on the people of our State, ami
it tnay bo that this is owing in some degret
to our avoiding such Conventions. Hut ii
seems to me, thero are limes and occasions
which justify a departure from formal urn
gos. l'arty is inseparable from papulai
governments. Sinco the days of Washing
ion, no man has stood out so prominently
that all eves wero turned towards him.
Efvery section has its favorite, andifeacl
section voted without concert for it* first
choice, they would be beaten by unity o
action in the opposition, or overy eluclot
would go into the House of Represent a
live* to select from the three highest. Som<
pieccnccrt seem*, therefore, to be necessary
for tho success of the parly. The first
mode was a congressional caucus, but thiwas
broken down in 1824. Tho present
modo was substituted after General Jack
sou's time, and lias been acted on evet
since. The gieulcst objection to it is, as 1
have befo:e staled, that it represents the
intriguing, selfi-.li politicians, and not the
I.! I 1 -
uuuKiseu Mini uonesi views ot tho masse?
Sucli nr. n?sciubly will meet others, and
will designate who is to bo the candidate
of tho Democratic puitv, whether wo are
repra cnled or not. It is equally certain
that South Carolina will vote for the Itonji
nee. The choice will be between him and
the nominee of the Know Nothings, and
the nominee of the Abolitionists or Hi.-ick
Republican*, as tbey are called. President
JPiorce is a man after oar own heart*, llotli
oil words and in deeds ho comes nearer to
oar opinions than any man who has preceded
him f -r tho last thirty years. Onr
vote may give him the nomination, and
my best judgment is that we ought to join
the selection. Whether we shall do so in
future, may depend 011 circumstance*.
I would not give the delegates positive
instructions to vote tor no other, hut they
should be distinctly informed that he is not
to bo given up until all cbanco of success
fails. I certainly prefer him to all other
ancu, Iwl there" ans^others from which we
cony expect good, to^they have not given,
as yet, the evidence. The great impediment
in tho way of Mr. Pierce niises, I
fear, from the cause before stated. His re
election will disappoint the masses of tl e
Aspirants for office, as it is not to l?o expectoil
that he will turn out his own appointees,
? , to put in new men of the same party. U
is said the offices in the gift of the President,
and vvoilli eight}* millions of dollars
for the four years. For a share of these
spoils there are fifty thousand aspirants at
least. If there is an entire change of par
ty, this immense sum is the stake to l<e
won, and the induction of the immense
number is brought directly to bear against
the party in power, and partly against the
nomination of the incumbent by bis own
party. Your obedient servant,
Jesuit J. Evans.
Diplomatic Difficulty.?-'Informat'on
was received by the last steamer from En
ropo of a misunderstanding between Col.
Jackson, our Minister resident at Vienna,
and the Austrian Government. A correspondent
of the Washington Star says:
"The misunderstanding has been caused
by the arrest ami imprisonment of an
Ameiican citizen named Spears, who after
eoven months' close confinement, during
which ho w as not permitted to camimmi rate
in any way with even his minister or
consul, was tried the fll>t of March, 1851.

labor in irons in the trenches at 'flier isoostadt
in liohcmia. Mr. Jackson, on the
ttii of February, demanded a propoilv certified
copy of tlio testimony said to have
been used in the conviction of Spear*, and
informed Count IJuol in hi* nolo (hat unless
lil*roccived an affirmative reply within
futir weeks he should nt the expiration <<f
tlinl time withdraw from a court where ho
i could no longer remain with honor to bis
country or advantage to its citizens. As
tbete is no probability that the desired answer
will be forthcoming, or that any testimony
really existed against tlio man. Mr.
Jackson may bo expected to leave Vienna
shortly afior you receive this."

Demolition of Port &!. Nleholu.
It scouts to be the pmpose of the Alllei
to practically force on Russia ?n assent to I on
the demolition of her fortifications on the 12
eastern coast of the 13lack Sea by Anticipating
the result. One of the most couapicu- 0f
ouh objects in Approaching Sebastopol, was jn]
. Fort St. Nicholas, am! calculated for the ar- pc
mnment of 102; it was the most important
fortre s, excepting Fort St. Constantino, y,
i within the southern provinces of Russia. 0f
This grent work was dost toyed on the nf- kc
lernooti of the 4th ultimo, and the corres- ol
ponik-nt of the London.Timet gives the tj|,
> following spirited account of the occurrence: 8U
"At first, while the concourse of jpecta-, c|j
tors were assembling on tho heights, not a.
gun was fired frotn the north side. Tho p,
' silence continued uninterrupted for twenty u]
> minutes or upward, excepting by the sound 0.,
' of one discharge to.vnrd Iiikjirmunn. Pies [
I. ently a white spot appeared at one of the w,
! lower batteries. This expanded and slowly ur
curled away, and then came the report of ftr
the gun. M
"The same thing wns immediately re- nf
pouted at another battery, a short distance
i off, and then came a la-go pull'of smoke, m
k which rose in brilliant whiteness, anil nno- 4;,
l.icr loud report fioin Fort Michael. From IH
) this time, for some ten minutes or so, a m
- moderate firo was kept up from the noitlt m
side. A
"This fire was going on, and serving to t|,
j distract a little the attention of tho spec la- t;(
J jiImost immediately afterward fey * fourth, : 0f
at wliat remained of tiro cn?t end. 'Thr mi
two reports from these explosion* seemed j co
louder than the reports which had followed ;
the two former blast*. Still a put of the I S|>(
for: remained upright, and between the ! |/|
| dark folds of drapery which shrouded the J
wide space* left vacant by the fall of the ;
two wings might still be seen, though i j,r(
mistily, the high central lower and ob.ser- |.re|
vntory. These did not exirl long. J w|
"A fifth and then a sixth mi; e was '
*Pr?mg, and the who'o of llto gigantic nc
; work, which not long ago stood oSlering I
i defiance to the navies of the w hole world. ' (,f
was levelled to the ground. The clouds of tn(
smoke cleared away slowly, xud diiven
i gently by the breeze from the north, pasaed VCI
j over the ruins of the town, for a tiiue en- tj,,
veloping it in f??g an 1 throwing it in (|jj
| dark shadow. The removal of the aeons- m,
I tomcd outline, and the long gap which was y,.
j left by tlfj destruction of the fort, was then tj1(
! seen to have changed in its most striking W;l
j feature the aspect of the whole town of So tjj,

I in appearance than ever." 1

From the west extremity of the long fort, (j

I a huge, dense cloud of smoke, which, as af
- it rose and spread, enveloped atl the neigh- m

\ correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer, rcrkiiig
upon the manner in which college f rofess
are nsually selected, makes the follow ing sup*
lions on the subject of tilling the chair* in the

Jy satisfactory to parents mid students;
'One of your correspondents suggests that Dr,

and that ihey should meet at the Uni*

Harrison, wnb ail the other professes of thp
