. t3?Tnic Habribbcro Convention. The
Soldiers' Convention, which met at Hurris
burg on Wednesday last, turned out, a was
expected, a regular fizzle.. There were about
800 soldiers present, wheu no less Mian 0000
were expected, and wo sec that some, after
discovering tho object of the meeting, with
drew from the Convention. Tho mas of
. the Convention were soldiers who had seen
bnt little service, and who entered the army
with no love for the cause they battled for,
and when they left tho services endeavored
to reinstate traitors in the highest offices of
the government. There is no disputing the
fact that tho real toldicrt are in favor of
Geary. While Clymer and his faction were
deriding them as Lincoln hirelings, denying
to Union heroes all acknowledgement for
' victories won, and declaring that the war on
, the part of the national authorities was a
failure, these soldiers were informing them
selves with useful knowledge, and are not
now ignorant of the facts which this same
faction wish to conceal by putting them
on the back -ground, for the purpose of assist
ing themselves to office, when the soldier is
more entitled to the position than these same
office hunters. How can a soldier vote for
such candidates I
f J3?"Wo can only say that we don't know
' what motive Horace can have, in releasing
Jeff. Davis, unless it is to pnt the Democratic
party in the position of the man who bought
tbo elephant and then did not know what
to do with him." II. B. Matter, Esq.
' "Does the editor of tho Ameiucas pretend
to Bay that the Democratic party bought
Jeff. Davis f Wo would most respectfully
' inform our neighbor that it was the aboli
tionists who made tho war to catch Davis
and get the niggers, and now that thtj have
them, do not know what to do with cither.
Northumberland County Democrat.
. 't30r The Democrat having inquired of us
why Horace Greeley favors tho release of
Jeff. Davis, we gave as one of the probable
reasons that Horace, perhaps, desired to con
fuse the party, by letting loose among them
the chief of the Southern wing of the de
mocracy, who would become a dangerous
1 rival candidate for the Presidency. But our
neighbor only publishes part of our reply,
it is true tho Republicans did catch Davis,
and all agree that ho deserves banging. But
Horace Greeley and a few others think thai
in such a case, Vallandighani, Bun. Wood,
and other leading cops, would endeavor to
build up their parly on the sympathies ex
cited by the martyrdom of the chief of tho
Southern wing of the present democracy.
Wo did not say, or pretend, that the party,
at whose shrine our nwghbor w.rhips,
bought Jeff. Davis. A party, or individual,
is not apt to buy that which already belongs
' to them.

by the mob. The police endeavored to pro

an indiscriminate firing. Two of the mem

citizens to meet at the City nail to be sworn
