THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVEX
TION.
lUmusni'ito, March 1. The Democratic
Elate Convention of Pennsylvania, to nomi
nate candidates for the offices of Cannl Com
missioner, Auditor General, and Surveyor
General of the State, assembled to-day at 12
o'clock, in the Hall or the House of Repre
sentatives, pursuant to the call of the State
Central Committee.
The attendance of Delegates was very full,
and the strongest interest felt by "he Mend
of the rival candidates, especially for the or.
fioe of Canal Commissioner, caused much ex
citement to prevail.
The Convention called to order at 12
o'clock, amid muoh noi.e and tumult, by
Mr. Wise, who moved that the Hon. Arnold
Plumer, of Venanpo, to take the Chair,
Mr. U'ie put the question amid cries of (
"order," "order," and great confusion.
Mr. Fraley of Schuylkill, moved to nmend
the motion, and that the Hun. John Cessna,
of Bedford, take the chair.
The utmost confusion prevailed far some
time, and both Mr. Plumer and Mr. Cessna
were conducted by their friend, to the
Speaker' chair.
Mr. Cessna, after a time, and when order
had in tome measure been testored, expres
sed his regret at the scene which had been
enacted, and besought all to act with calm
ness and decorum. To settle the dificully
as to the choice ol a chairman, he proposed
the appointment or tellers to count the votes.
The motion was put and agreed to and
tellers then having been appointed, the vote
for a temporary chairman was again takent
and resulted in Mr. Plumer receiving fiG
Totes, and Mr. Cessna 64 votes.
A committee one from each Congressional
district was then, on motion, appointed to re
port officers for the permanent organization
or the Convention.
The Convention then adjourned until 3
o'clock.
AFTB RNOOJf SHSIOM.
The Convention re-assembled at 3 oclocki
when the Hon. J. M. Porter, or Noithampton
county, Chairman of the Committee appoint
ed to select officers for the permanent organi
zation of the Convention, reported that they
had selected Win. L. Hirst, of Philadelphia,
as President. The Committee also reported
the names of some twenty gentlemen as
Vice President, and five Secretaries.
The liit of delegates was then called, and
the credentials or the delegations from the
several counties submitted. In a number
or cases substitutes appeared and weie ad
mined.
The matter or the contested scats was then
taken up, but one only that or the contest
ing delegates from Montour and Columbia
counties occupied any considerable time.
The question or the admission-orf the Rep
resentative delegate! from the counties of
Montour and Columbia being before the con
Tention.
Mr. Valentine Best, of Montour, advocated
his right to his seat, and discussed wilhmtich
minuteness the circumstances attending his
pointmenf, and the shadow of a claim, only,
that was set tip by his contestant.
Mr. John Dean, of Columbia, the contest
ing delegate, replied at length.
Some further discussion followed, and the
Convention finally decided to admit neither,
first by rejecting by a large vote the claim
of Mr. Best, and then refusing the seat to Mr
Dean.
The Convention then proceeded to ballot
for a candidate for Canal Commissioner, and
the votes being counted, the result of the
first ballot was announced as follows
Thomas Forsyth, of Philadelphia
Henry S. Molt, ol Pike county
Wm. S. Morrison, or Montgomery
Feather,
Joel B. Danner, o( York.
and the remaining votes scattered among
ome seven or eight candidates.
There being no choice, the Convention
proceeded to a second ballot, which, us also
the thiid, fourth and filth, invariably follow
ing, wai unsuccessful. The voles on these
several ballots stood as follows :

THE NOMINATIO.NS.
The proceedings of the late democratic
Convention at Iljriisburg, will be found in
another column. The nomination of Mr.
Forsyth of Philadelphia, is an excellent
one. Mr. torsytn is an honest straight
forward democrat, respected by all who
know him. Mr. Bnnks lias made a popu-
lrr officer, and was nominated without op
position. Mr. Brawley had some trouble,
and is not a General Jackson by any means.
RAIL ROAD FROM IKWIJBt RO THROUGH j
BUFFALOE Jc PENIS VALLEY.
This is one of the natural routes, which
the practised eye of an engineer would at
once select for a rail road. We heard a
competent Engineer say, several years
since, that a rail road would be constructed
over this route, belore many years.
A large and respectable meeting of the
citizens of Centre county favorable to a
rail road from the Susquehanna river to in
tersect the Penna. rail road, was held at the
"Old Fori," on Friday, the lllh ult. The
Hon. Geo.Boal, President, Col. U.S. Gross,
Dr. Charles Smith, Vice Presidents, Col.
John Love, Col. J. I. Gregj, Secretaries.
The route is to commence at or near the
borough of Levvisburg, in Union county,
thence by the most practicable and expe
dient route through Buffalo valley, and
through Centre county, by way of Penns
or Bruili valleys, and through Huntingdon
county to a point at or near the mouth ol
Spruce creek, to intersect with the Penn
sylvania rail road, and measuring 70 miles
or thereabout!!.
A committee was appointed to superin
tend the circulation of petitions to the Le
gislature, and also to name Commissioners
to be reported in the art of Assembly, and
also to confer with the President and Ma
nagers of the Pennsylvania, Susquehanna &,
Williamsport, and Sunbury ft Erie Rail
road companies, relative to the proposed
connexion with their roads, and also to
correspond with the Presidents of the Sun
bury &. Pottsville, and Pottsville St Phila
delphia Railroad companies, and bring the
same to their notice and consideration, and
also address such other Capitalists as may
be disposed to unite in the proposed improvement.
O" Union County. The citizens of
New Berlin, at the last Court, made an ef
fort to get the Grand Jury to report in fa
vor of building a new Court House at that
place. In the evening the Jury, it is said,
were a tie, but in the morning they report
ed against it. An effort it making, we un
derstand, to divide the county, cutting
across from the Northumberland bridge,
making Lewisburg the Capital ol the upper
end, and Selinsgrove, ol the lower end.
That will be convenient. Let us have the
Court Houses up as soon as possible.
BISHOP HUGHES.
The New York Journal ol Commerce,
has the following remarks in relation to the
Bishops letter, in regard to the Maidai, who
were imprisoned for reading the Bible :
"He (the Bishop) objects to the meetings
which have been held in this and other
cities, in reference to the impiisonment of
Ihe Madiai family in Tuscany, as calculated
to excite Protestant animosity against the
Catholics without, accomplishing any good in
return. Ha denies that the Madiai were
subjected to their long imprisonment merely,
for possessing and reading the Bible but
does r.ol state what other offence they have
committed, says the Catholics are great
friends of the Bible, and published numerous
editions of it before Protestantism existed
and w hatever intolerance may be chargnablo
upon Catholics in any foreign country, Cath
olics in the United States are nut responsible
for it, tic, He is also concerned lest the
United Slates Government should render
itself ridiculous by endeavoring to procure
for its citizens in foreign countries bbnty of
worship, as proposed in the resolutions or Mr.
Underwood in the United States Senate.
Has he reflected that this overture applies as
much to American Catholics in foreign Pro
testant cnunliies, as to American Protestants
in Calholio countries t

After 3d ballot, the name of Mr. Danner
was withdrawn from the list of candidates.
After the 4th ballot, an adjournment was
moved and very strongly urged, but was
disagreed to.
The result of the 5th ballot being announ
ced and there still being no choice, an ad
journment was again moved.
Some debate arose upon the motion, and
it was finally agreed to adjourn until 7
o'clock.
Evening Session. The Convention again
re-assembled at 7 o'clock, when the ballot
ing for a candidate for Canal Commissioner
was resumed, and the 6th ballot being taken
resulted as follows,:
Thomas Forsyth, of Philadelphia, 81
Henry S. Molt, of Pike, 40
Nicholson, 3
Mr. Forsyth was theieupon declared dnly
nominated as the candidate of ihe Demo
cratic party for the office of Canal Commis
sioner. The nomination of Mr. Forsyth was then
unanimously ratified by the Convention.
The nomination of a candidate for Audi
tor Ceneral, being next in order.
Mr. Long nominated the Hon. Kphraim
Banks, the present incumbent, and moved
that Ihe nomination be made unanimously.
The nomination was agreed to by accla-
mation, ana Mr banks was announced as
ma nominee oi me 'invention for the ol
fice of Auditor General.
The invention then proceeded to the
nomination of candidates for Surveyor Gen-
? 1 .1 "
oevBmi genuemen were placed in nomi
nation.
The Convention then proceeded to ballot
wnen two oaiiuts were beta at follows :

Wm. S. Garvin, 17 23
Mr. Klotz, 10 13
G. F. Mason, 13 13
The Hon. J. Porter Brawley, the present
incumbent ot the ottice of suiveyor Gener
I, having, on the second ballot, received i
maioritv of all the voles cast, was declairil
duly nominated tor taut otnee, and me non
iaation teas tarifsi by a unanimous vote
ft7" The Mkgting to bo held to-day,
(Saturday) will be, no doubt, well attended.
The object, we presume, is more to con
demn the conduct of the Commissioners,
than the policy of the subscription itself.
Our opinion has always been that the legis
lature was wrong in giving the Commis.
sioners authority to subscribe without a vote
of the people, but we have never had a
doubt but that the subscription would be a
profitable one. From what we can learn,
the meeting will be attended by some of
our most respectable farmers and others,
and we have no doubt their proceedings
will be of a proper and becoming character.
VALUE OF RAILnoAD STOCK.
There is a mistaken notion, among many
about the profitableness of rail roads.
There is scarcely a rail road in the Union,
judiciously located, that does not pay more
than six per cent on its cost. The Penn
sylvania rail road 6tock is now above par.
The receipts for January 1S52, before the
road was finished, were 0-2,172,55, and
then this road paid six per cent. For Jan
uary 1853, the receipts have one up to
$-233,533,26, an increase of over?l l l, 353,
?G, or n.ore than double. Philadelphia,
on her subscription of three millions, has
probably cleared $300,000 without paying
onedollartax. On examining theAmerican
Rail road Journal, a few days since, we
couuted more than forty rail roads whose
stocks were selling from 5 to 4-0 per cent
above nar. Anions these were the Ohio
a
roads, a number of which were made by
countv subscriptions. We make these re-
marks not to justify the commissioners in
subscribins, but to show that there is no
danger that we shall ever be railed on for
a dollar, on account of the subscription-
Miners Horses. Our readers will per
ceive by the advertisement of Mr. Rea, for
the Locust Mountain Coal &. Iron Comp.,
that proposals will be received at Mt. Car
mel until the 12th of March, inst., fur the
construction of 5 blocks ol houses, 32 by
23 led, not 2 by 23 fttt as stated in the
advertisement last week. T.it. Larmel is
about hall way, on the turnpike, between
this place and Pottsville. The Locust
Mountain Coal is not surpassed by any coal
in Pennsylvania lor purity and compact
ness, and is well adapted for lurnaces as
well as for lamily use. We have been in
formed by one of the Managers of the Com
pany, that they expect to have their works
in readiness, so as to ship coal to this place,
by the fust or middle of August next. At
or belore that time a number of other col
lieries wiil be sending their coal to this
place for shipment over the Philadelphia
and Sunbury rail road, which will be laid
with a new iron track by May next.
LATEH FROM HAVANA.
Charleston, Feb. 28. The steamship
Isabel hat arrived at thie port, with dates
from Havana to the 22d.
The secretary or Vice President King is
among the passengers. He is a bearer of
despatches for the Government. It is sup
posed to be on business relating to the sei
zure of the mails of the Empire City and
Crescent City, which has caused a great ex
citement at Havana.
The American Consul made a strong pro
test, but had received no reply from the Cap
tain General.
Tho Isabel, however, was allowed to leave
Ihe port wihout being searched.
Vice President King was at Malanas,
much improved in health. He is sanguine
of a speedy recovery from the effects ot the
sugar cure.
The tw o nieces or Vice Piesident King are
in excellent health.
The U. S. steamer Fulton, made the
quickest run rrom the States to Havana, on
record. In a heavy gale she made 90 miles
in 3 hours and 5 minutes. Phe met with no
accident but losing one of her boats during
the storm. Mr. Tnomas Kilpatrick. or Phila
delphia, is the engineer on board the Fulton.
A negro had been garroted for killing a
Spanish officer. It was the same instrument
on which the ill-rated Gen. Lopez was exe
cuted. There were nbout 30.000 soldiers in the
city and vicinity, and they are very insolent
to Americans, but they take good care to re-
pect Uncle Sam's uniform.
Another slight shock or an earthquake
was experienced at St. Jnjjo on 1 ho 25th ult.
Tho outrage or stopping the mail bags was
persevered in by the authorities nt Havana.
Those or the Black Warrior and Empire City
had been laken possession or by ihe police
and examined. The seal of thai of the Em
pire City was bioken.
The small pox was still raging there.

THE COUMTY BfBS.CHIPTIOJI
A large meeting of Ihe citizens of Augusta
township, was held in the Upper Augusta
School House, on Thursday evening the 24th
ult, for the purpose of taking into considera
tion the subscription of the S200,uuu, to ine
Susquehanna Railroad, by Ihe Commission
ers of our County.
The meeting was organized by choosing
Mr. Isaao Eekman, as President, Peter Ober
dorr, Vice President, and L. T. Heath, Sec-,
retary.
The meeting was then addressed by Wm.
D. Gearhart. and Edward Critzner, in which
they represented Ihe said subscription ns an
uuiust and unreasonable measure, nnd thai
the said road would neither repay the Coun
ty or the community.
The resolutions of 'the Bnshville meeting
on Ihe same subject, were then examined by
the following gentlemen it a t ouirnittee :
JohnEckman, Elisha Kline. J inn- l'airestrr,

The editor of the Bloomsburg Star says
some stupid fellow has published a state
ment, that more deaths have occurred by
accidents from fluid lamps, then by steam
boats and railroads, during the last year.
This "stupid follow" was Professor Sill
man of Yale college, one of the most distin
guished men in the Union, and any one who
will attentively chronicle the almost daily
accidents recorded in the papers, caused by
these fluid lamps, will find nothing surpns-
iii!I in the statement.
The Reading papers give an account of
a deplorable accident in that city a few
weeks since.
Mrs. Mary Dunn, husband and child from
Pottstown, were on a visit to the family of
Mr. Adams in Reading. In the evening
while both families were sitting around a
table in social conversation, and while one
of their number was filling another lamp by
the li'jht of the one burning, the fluid took
fire, burst the can, and in a moment the
whole room was in (lames. All the in
mates were more or less burner!, no one
seriously, however, except Mrs. Br.N.s,
whose clothes were completely burned
from her body, and whose injuries were so
severe that she died the next day, after suf
fering excruciating torments. At the time
of the accident Mrs. It. had her child in her
arms, which with great presence of mind
was rescued by Mr. Adams, and escaped
comparatively unhurt.

LETTER mOM YAllliGTO(.
Washington, Feb 26
Gen. Pierce declared yesterday to several
Senators who had been to see him, that the
Cabinet was fixed, ami that it had been in
that condition before he left Conrord. He
also slated that thero was no occasion to
to speak on the subject, as his mind was dc
finitely made up.
The names of the persons definitely and
invariably fixed are the same I gave you
the other day, viz : Cushing, Marcy,
Guthrie, Jeff. Davi, Dobbin, MeI.ellnad
and James Campbell; but they are not
irrevocably placed, and were not when Gen.
Pierco left Concord. On that subject it no

New Advertisements.
frr-The Commissioners of Philadelphia
county, it is said, have actually subscribed
two millions of dollars to the Sunbury &,
Erie Railroad. Some of the citizens have
presented remonstrances against the sub
scription, alleging that the Commsssioners
have no right and that there is no occasion
to do so, as sufficient cash subscriptions can
be had if the management ol the road is
placed in the hands of persons who have
the confidence ol the people.
E7"A strong effort was made in the
United States Senate a few days since, to
repeal the duty on rail road iron for five
years, by tacking the same to the general
appropriation bill. Mr. Urodhead, assisted
by Mr. Cooper, fought the amendment
manfully.
E7-March i here, mild as a lamb. Dut
the roads are awful both for man and beast.
We trust they will soon be settled and that
spring, when it does really come, will not
be subject to so many sudden intrusions of
winter.
THE NEW CABINET
Secretary of State William L. Marcy, New
Vo.k.
Secretary of the Treasury James Guthrie,
of Kentucky.
Secretary of War Jefferson Davis, Missis
sippi.
Secretary of the Scvy - James C. Dobbin,
of North Carolina.
Secretary of the Interior Piobt. MtClrl-
lan.l, of Mioliip.m.
Postmaster Ceneral James Campbell, of
PonriM Ivania.
Attorney G:ie-a Caleb dishing, of Mas
sachusetts.
The above is said to be the new Cabinet
of Gen. Pierce, though not officially an
nounced. Gen. Pierce has conducted him
self thus far so as to command the respect
of all parties, though we do not approve of
all the members of his Cabinet. Governor
Marcy and Caleb Cushing, are both able
and distinguished men. The only licking
Gen. Scolt ever received, before the late
election, was the one Marcy gave him in
reply to his letters complaining of a "fire
in the rear." Gov. M'Clelland is an able
man and will, no doubt, make a respectable
officer. Jefferson Davis is a man of fair
abilities, though somewhat tinctured with
disunion doctrines. He was a good soldier
and may make a good officer, but we have
no love for southern fire eaters or northern
abolitionists.
Mr. Guthrie is said to be a talented man
and a very able lawyt-r. But this is his
first appearance on the stage of politics.
Mr. James Campbell of Pennsylvania, is
just the reverse of Mr. Guthrie. He stu
died politics as a trade and law for a living
is a polite afTable and gentlemanly man,
but was never suspected being much of a
lawyer. He is certainly a very lucky
man, and is no doubt himself surprised to
find that he ha been selected as the most
proper man to represent the great Slate of
Pennsylvania, in the next Administration.
atNCl'ItV AND ERIE HAH. ROAD.
I:i the Senate, on tho 21st of February,
tho following proceedings took p'.ice :
Mr. Hamlin, of M'Kean, read in place a
supplement to the net incoiporaling the Sun
bury and Erie railroad company.
At the request of Mr. Crabb, the bill was
read. It authorizes the establishment of an
office of the company in the city of New
York ; and allows the election of directors
out of this State, provided, the piesident and
a majority of tho directors are citizens of
Pennsylvania.
Mr. Crabb moved to refer the bill to a se
lect committee, together with ihe other bill
on ihe same subject.
Mr. Crabb remarked that the introduction
of this bill put a new face on this whole
matter, and expressed the hope that the
friends or the measure would act in harmony.
Me desired nothing but Ihe success or the
measure, and hoped his motion would pre
vail, nnd that the frieiuts or the road would
come to an amicable understanding on the
subject
Mr. Ilimlin, or M'Kean, could see no
reason for the reference of the bill to a se
lect com niltee on railroads. He desired to
be understood as a friend of ihe road
Mr. Crabb further urged hismolion; when
Mr. Quiggle said if ho thought the select
committee to whom it was proposed to refe
this bill, together with the other supplemen
in reference to this company, would, as sug
uested by the Senator (Mr. Crabb,) be com
posed of the true friends of this road, he
would have no objections to the special ref
erence : otherwise he was in favor of its
aoing to the committee on railroads. The
bill of the Senator or M'Kean (.Mr. Hamlin)
came rrom a source that desires Ihe success
or this enterprise. The extraordinary course
of the council of the city of Philadelphia
suspending Ihe proposed subscription of 82,
000.000, has caused many to begin lo look
elfewhere for cspilal lo build this road. The
bill proposes to authorize the opening of an
office in the city of New York to receive
ubciiption and allowing Ihe election
director out of the State of Pennsylvania
provided that the piesident and a majority
of the directors shall always be in the Slate
of Pennsylvania.

Dl'COVEtlY OF VaI CABLE SlI.VER MlNf.S
It is stated lhat great excitement has been
created in the towns on tha Uio Grande, op
posite El Taso, by the discovery of some
very valuable silver mines on the eastern
slope of the mountains, about sixty miles
northeast of Donna Ana. The ore accord
ing lo the reports, is found in immense quan
tities directly on the suiface of the ground,
and several ton? of it have already been
gathered. The Houston Telearaph says:
"One mine is so rich that tho silver is ex
tracted readily, by melting it with a common
fire of pine. Lead ore is also found in
extensive veins, traversing the rocks in every
direction. We aie informed lhat thousand
of tons cf lead me, similar to that obtained
at the lead mines near Galena, can be gath
ered on the surface of the ground, on the
mountains eaat of El Paso. There is a large
hill near the silver mines, that minht with
roprii'ty be styled the lead mountain, as it
seems to be nu immense mas-a of galena or
ead ore. If we may believe Ihe accounts of
rsons who have visile.! these mines, ih'ey
must be tar moie extensive ami valuable
than any of the mine in Illinois or Wim-on-

Mr. Epitoii ;
As your columns are open to all, for a
fair discussion of the merits of the county
subscription, will you te good enough to
nublish the following editorial article from
the Sunbury Gazette of March Gth, lS.V2f
in which the editor, Mr. Youngman, provts
most conclusively, (in my estimation at
least,) that the county subscription has been j
well made, and that it will prove a source
of revenue lo the County.

From the Sunbury Ca.ette of March C, 1S33.

TO THE UAILItOAPS.
The distance from the northern to the

bmy and Urie roads will bi made. The
construction of these roads will cost at least
20,000 per mile, so thai within tha limits
of our county ciht bundled thousand dollais
will be spent in its consti ucuou. At least
$600 000 of this will bo scattered among
ihe people. Tho fhoemaker, the hatler, the
merchant, the caipeuter, the mason, the
day-laborer, the pi inter w ill pel of it, and
the farmer, who provides the wheat, the
potatoes, the beef, the vegetables lor the
thousands of hands employed, and Ihe hay
oals, coin, and rye lui the hoises used in
haulinfr, will get the larger portion of this
vast sum ol money, lhat llus is the tiutti
nu one will date to deny. Then, if money
will thus be thrown among us, broadcast as
it were, would it not be right and propei.
would it not be a duty, that our county
should subscribe liberally to those icads 1
lo reluso would be unkind, would be ingra
titude, to those living oil the line, w ho aie.
out of public spirit, giving their money to be
spent among us. Our county should give
1(400,000, for, even if every cent of this
sum were lo be paid in taxes, would it be a
hardship that we sfcould return lour tiuniireu
thousand of Ihe six hundred thousand dol
lars given us 7 We would slill have $200,.
000 ieft, and in addition to this we would
have the stock, and all Ihe benefits of a
rail road. But there is not a cent of tax
lo be paid in consequence of this subscrip
tion by the county. The Commissioneis
merely issue their bonds, and the mil
road tompany will pay the interest on them.
The transaction will in all probability be a
train to ihe tax payer. It was remarked by
Judge Jordan, in a speech to the tail road
meeting on Monday night, irt urging a sub
scription by the county, that the roads
would in all probably yield a uivwenu
IS per cenl., soon afler iheir completion,
and these dividends would free our eilizens
from taxation of all kinds. Suppose lhat our
county take J400.000 of atock, and it clears
afler paying interest on bonds, nine per
oent. Thia on the 1100,000 will be $36,
000. Our present slate and county taxes
amount lo about $24,000, so lhat lhat the
dividends would nav ihe state and county
taxes, and we would have 1 12,000 lefl.
Should not Ihe Commissioners at onca sub-
aciibe to tha roads ?
