Wo cheerfully comply with tho request to publish tho lnrgcst liberty" of tho press being our motto but in consideration ot our liberality we venturn to add word ufour own. Though Una seems in tho enption to be acallor" Me perceive tint a very large portion of the people to wit, the friends of nn efficient law to prevent the illegal traffic in liquors arc excluded from attending by tho very terms of tho call. Of this wo do not complain: every party has tho right to fix tho terms of admission but wo cannot help ob serving that thai cannot well bo tht jieople's Convention," whicli excludes at least ono lialfof tho pcoplo from attending. There is one way, however, in which this can convention merit the title of the people's convention.

Let it discountenance ul! connection between tho liquor question and politics and recommend that tho elections be conducted entirely without rcferenco lo it, with the understanding on all hands thnt any ml repealing, or materially modifying (he late shall It submitted to the people of the Slate.

We regret these attempts of the Standard to aid in traducing tho President, and in sowing discord among tho dmocracy of this State.

In the centre was the scaffold for the speakers, surrounded oy a denso crowd of eager observers. The regu lar row ot tho military guard, tho brilliant uniform ortho stafToffiiers thn variegated dresses or tho tadies and the fluttering Tans, gave life and vivacity of appearance to the expectant crowd.

1 he wings and naves oi me urst noor were comnirntivclv deserted; few strolling observers, or an active watchful policemen, might occasionally bo seen moving down or across the long vistas stretching away to the far ends of the building. Heavy boxes, carriages, ma chinery, and other large objects, gavo a liimoer-ing appearance to the naves, singularly contrasting with the wavering mass of life collected into tho centre. The second floor was also densely crowded the railings around the separate naves were thronged with gaily dressed ladies and gentlemen, sitting stmrfmgor lounging, wherever a skjI was found giving tho smallest promise nf an opportunity to see or hear what was to pass below. On the cast side, between the north and south mves, was situated the gallery, rising gradually upwards, with seats arranged for the choir "ho worn to join tn tho opening ceremonies. In the rear of tho choir was a handsome organ.

Generally speaking, tho exhibitors Ind nude more progress in arranging their goods ngon tho second lloor than upon the first, and portions of the upper naves presented a wry finished nnd beautiful appearance The CTcrftisss wre eomniciiced by a prayer by Rev.

The association does not seem to havo been noticed by Europeans until Dr Milne, tho Principal of tho Chinese Collcee at drew up a paper embodying the information he received from his Chinese friends, all of whom were probably members of tho ussociation, although not fully aware of its ultimate objects. This paler was brought home by tho late Dr. Morrison, the great authority in Chinese literature, and was published in the first volume or the quarter series or the Transactions of the Asiatic Society in In China itself great secrecy has been maintained respecting ihenssociation, which his been nided materially by tho cunning expedient of dunging its name occasionally.
