Two conventions have been held ; one at. Cleveland. in Ohio composed bf delegates from tho northern States, the other at lvnoxville in AJabamain -vyhich all the southern States had represen tatives. Both met almost at the same hour-and, although entirely" different in. their views , and .their aim?, discuss ed the same subject.-' The ' slavery question, that great battle field of tlie nortli and eouth,-was necessarily the object' of the two meetings, for though suspensions of hostilities do sometimes happen b.etween the1 two' antagonistic parties, no treaty of peace has yet been scaled.' They arenow battling in Kan sas; and after Kansas, Missouri will come m tne neiu. ; me last election for Governor can bi considered as the begidning'oF a series' of contests not to be ended before Missouri be gained.to the cause. of gradual emancipation.-: Aid although materials for a new a-, itationnaye been prepared in-these two conTentions, that of, Cleveland In proof that the doctrine of gradual cmahcipa tion is rnakin; rapid progress ; in the nofthern States.,- A great many anti- Ejavpry, men. no W. abandon radical ab olitionism for a system infinitely, more jroduclve -of practical results, and from tho instant.the interests of slave-hold-, era arc. taken into ; consideration and thejriightsjidmitted by the very men rhd pursue' their extinction, it may be hoj3ed that compromise measures will take place and succeed where extreme ones have failed, except in bringing wax between the. two great, sections of ouf ' -cottntfy.- In - the convention of CldrcUKd evenrGerrit 5Smith has. rec onlz'e'd the'-right of slave-,nolderS; .to' an indemnity, and .although, the means to" achieve the.re$ult : proposed .are. yct uncertain; the aim' will rally a great number of adherents." ; A constitution for a new" society under; the name of "National , Compensation.

Both engineers attempted to check the speed of their trains, but the distance was too short, and a frightful collision was tho re wit. . - The express train was going at . the rate of about twenty,five miles an hour, ut the speed -of the freight train was nopso' great. .' "Both; engines were crus"hed to pieces, arid the wood on the tender took fire froni -the furnaces: The flames were; however, soon extin 'ruished. "' . 1 ?

Mr, Chapman would be -disposcc); to show, at; least, some signs' of minliness? and high toned bearing that-ought to character- ize;men of his position.' But far from it. '-He yet would .'sink, if. within his puny power, all who dared lift a voice or vote against him.-. .' His paper, the Nebraskian, has been filled from week to week,' since the election, with abu sive , low toned articles' against, those who saw fit. to act as independent free men and . vote for the man of their choice. ; Gov. Izafj), who six months ago", in the then language of this same paper, "made' a " good Go vernor'; . he is a Democrat tried, and true, and we have only, to add,; we trust that those of our cotemporarles who have so bitterly as sailed him; for acts within ' the ' legiti mate' scope, of his 'duiy will. .-now. do justice to him as a man.'' Now since the Governor refused to be controlled by Chapman, and voted as .liis judg ment and conscience dictated, ' hear Chapman through thV Nebraskian : ".Mark is now liore'on sufferance mere ly;; he don't expect to hold on longer than until' the first of next month, the nrst or -next montn. nas; passed Unci Mark is hero yet ,"nptwitn3tandiriaithe Lnapman;eQict.J c li)ur;cotemporarie's throughout the .Territory are to .be be: lieved here jt will be -perceived ' is ri slight indicatTon'of cohscibusriess man ifestcd, in uttering slang, by skulking behind -what" .some "cotemporary-has said Mark has bejm more devoted since his rcsidonwaiiiong iis to corn er lots" atid aneasy melhpd bf signin'g and,hirn 'crucified" ' i;.," ;:' . . ; yiiat ... consistency V 'and how low," for a man of. 'Chapman's position;: to treat a man occupying tho position of Governor of this Territory ; a man,- too, to whom thi3 same Chapman is indebt ed perhaps as much as any .other one man'for nil he is." : J : Other men who voted against Chap man have been hunted out, and held up to public gaze through Chapman's paper. Col, Gilmobe and Col. Parkee, he Register and Receiver at Omaha, have had a string of 'abusive epithets dished out to them.' The following we clip from the Pacific City , Enterprise) the Editor of which was one' of Chap man's warmest supporters before r-and at the election. . Chapman's course ' is distrusting his best friends : ' . ' Sorry. We regret to see in the col umns of the 'Nebraskian,' of Septem ber -nu, an article m some sense re flecting and certainly ' sneering at Col. Parker and Col. Gilmore, of the Land Office at Omaha, evidently for having voted against Mr. Chapman. Certain ly no two men in Nebraska stand high er, or deserve to stand hi ffher, than these two gentlemen. We .were earn est supporters cf Mr. Chapman our-' selves, and regret that our friends, in the mutations and hurly-burly unccr tainty of Territorial politics, were sep arated from us. We regret that we could not see things alike, but we have never doubted that they acted (as we are sure we did) from the'best lights before them, "from their stand-point of vision." The exercise of their riht of suffrage, as private'eitizens, in voting for Judfre Ferguson, can in no sense be justification for newspaper ridicule or public animadversion, and certainly can do Mr. Chapman no good. The Financial Crisis. Our exchanges are still filled with notices of "failures," "suspensions. and comments upon the suspension of the "Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Company." Some of the prominent Eastern papers are determined to make out that institution "ail rirjrht." We do not entertain a doubt but that itj in itself is sound ; or suspect that di rectly any one will loose by.t'te suspen sion.' But we do believe and think the whole transaction evinces that its suspensionwas an agreed occurrence by which to enable other institutions of lesser magnitude advantageously to fail or suspend. We say we believe this, and think time w'ill show tho cor rectness of our position. :rNotes of the . foilowing -anks have been throTrn out at New Ydrk : Arcade B'k, Providence Rhode Island! R. 1.
