A Committee of one from each Henn tonal District was appointid to report perinaneut officers of the Convection. J. B. Stinson', of Fulton, was placed on the Committee from this District.

On motion, the President appointed, in accordance with custom, a committee of fifteen to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the Convention. In the evening, the Committee on Resolutions made report, as follows : Revoked, That the Demeersay of Pennsyl vania have unabated sad full confidence in the patriotism, integrity and capacity of James Buebansri, the President of the Unitai States, sad desire to sustain his adm= tion from a conviction of the intimate thin of its principles with the beat interests of our common country.

Secretary Toucey's Letter. To-day we publish a letter from Mr. Toucey, Secretary of the Navy, in reply to the charges made in the minority re port of the N oval Investigating Commit tee. Mr. Sherman, as Chairman, sub mitted the evidence in relation to these charges to Mr. Toucey, and the hitter replies to them ►n the form of a letter nddressed to the committee. —Every allegation of wrong is taken up by the Secretary, and is explained so clearly that not a shadow of suspicion can re main in the mind of any honorable man atter reading the vindication. The lameness and maliciousness of this much vaunted minority report is exposed so thoroughly, that its authors and suppor ters must be crowned with shame, if their consciences are not seared against all the promptings of honor and virtue. Mr. Tommy deserves the thanks of the Democratic party, and of the entire people, for the prompt and able manner in which he has mot and refuted these aspersions. There is no labored effort at apology; no verbose explanations in his letter ; but it is plain, forcible and conclusive. The efforts of at least two members of Congress, backed by an un scrupulous horde of sympathizers, and aided by a set of disappointed cormor ants who were ready to detail any slan der for purposes of personal revenge, are all swept away by this noble effort of the Secretary. We do riot desire the delinquencies of Democrats, if there are any, to be concealed, but we shall insist, that full and ample justice shall be done to'every member of that party. This the minority of theinvest*ating Com mittee refused to do, but their labors have recoiled, with signal force, upon their own heads. In endeavoring to find corruption in others, they only ex posed their own maliciousness and ve nality. Protection to American Citizens Abroad. The following remarks, from the Philadelphia Journal, (a paper by no moans a partisan of the A(drninistra tiot4) in regard to the message of the President, asking power during the re cesss of Congress to protect American citizens on the Isthmus, are well-timed and judicions. They contrast striking ly with the denunciations of the Adams Sentinel, in which the message referred to Is characterised i l " high-handed" and "infamous." The Journal says t it is, at the same time, incumbent upon us to sustain the proper dignity of the country at "This mode of passing judgment en the , home and abroad, and not to neglect a I conduct of a ministry, is prolific of evil, and I prompt supply of all necessary means of de it forme, in oar opinion, one of the most seri- 1 fiance against foreign aggression, and fur the ous rotates of official restlessness and per- assertion and protection of the rights of all versity in our government, We are specially American citizens everywhere, and especially prompted to nudre this remark, at this time, on this continent. by what we consider the disingenuous man- Resolred, That the acquisition of the li ner in which the President has been charged, land of Cuba by honorable and peaceable with bad motives, in his late message to Con - means, would be of vast importance to the gross.

Caught in their Own Trap. Politicians sometimes, in attempting to play smart, got caught in a trap they little dream of—and this is the ease with those of the Republican stripo in Illinois. As fur example, the republic can members of tho legislature of that State ran away from the Legislature to defeat the bill making a new apportion ment of the State, as they asked last fall. It was known that Governor BISSELL would veto the bill and it was' feared that the Democrats would pass it over his veto; they, therefore, cleared out and left the Legislature without tho quorum required by the constitution.—r They, however, left too soon. As there was no quorum present, no business, of course, could be transacted, and when the Governor's veto message was sent in it could not be received. The repub licans were not present to make a quorum within the too days which the Governor is allowed to consider bale, and it therefore became a law without his consent.. Thus the republicans, in attempting to be shrewd, were can plate. ly caubbt In their own trap, and they should now submit gracefully.—Nrie 04serttr. Bad Ssilzoad Locident. The Harrisburg Patriot & Union of Tuesday says : We are pained to learn that Dr. Wright, of Halifax, met with a shocking death on Sunday afternoon. It appears the Dr. had taken his twu children, one a boy of 12 acid the other a girl of 6 years ofago, nut walking, and when on the bridge above Halifax, he was met by a locomotive and coal train. Ile seized the little girl in his arms and attempted to run, but the curs were too close, and ho was unable to escape.— The locomotive knocking him down pas sed over him, causing instant death ; the wheels also passed over the arm of the little girl, cutting off the arm near the shoulder. The boy was more for tunate; he crowded himself into a small space alongside of the bridge, and es caped unhurt. Al. the place where the accident happened, is a short curve, preventing the engineer from seeing any person on the bridge, and the noise of the water at the aqueduct is so great thaiipersons on the bridge aro unable to hear the approaching trains. Dr. Wright was wed known and universal ly respected by the peoploof this coun ty; ho has frequently been called upon to serve them in positions of honor and trust, having at one time been elected a member of the .Logislature, and at the time of his death held the position of Brigade inspector.

I trust the dins titreets are sufficient to, convince the reader that the author of them larks one essential requisite to enable hot to write letters to country girls—l name cumr mon sense. It is not an easy matter to I know why a sensible woman, til Mrs. Slij.ll. ' , holm undoubtedly is, should write such now , sense, unless it be that she wanted to say something good and useful to country girls, but didn't eltictly know what; or perfume she wanted to write eemething tunny, but couldn't think of a subject. It is tree that, on first reading her letters, one is naturally , led to think that she compliments, rather c than censures. country girls for their skill in Icookiiig, baking, roasting, frying. stewing, I and ,ail forth ; but on refloat' 111 l . it will le ape panne ti every person of ordinary compret lieneion than her remarks are productive of more evil than good, as they are apt to leave a very wrong impreolitin on the minds of readers unacquainted with country life. l'a , judge of gantry people fronts her descriptions, ' persons unacquainted with their real uharacs to woad en prim, them to be little better than a set of mieenible gluttons, who live merely to eat and drink, and finally. when nature can stand it no longer, die of eating and drinking to excess, Now. I have bred in the •oountry for a number of ear,. and have traveled 111M001 various parts of it ; but. cecept on rare itil I particular ocensioas, I have yet to eat at it table where die gond things were in smelt rieb profusion as Mrs. Swiashelm speaks of I as helm; at her friend's table i,. Butler meaty. i To say that country girbaby their winking and baking, and by their liainpeving the s"- petites of these amend them, are the manse of our being a nation of tlyspeptiut, is my taiuly a very grave charge, and implies mare than could nt first appear. With perhaps an occaaional exception (and those exceptions arc even ty , , lie found in the city,) country people know just a, well what and how much to eat as their fastidious city cousins, and generally live as lua,g and enjoy as good health as city ft its who confine themselves to the strictest regimen. s It re puires very little knowledge of the lora of phyaialogy to knew that such immoderate eating and drinking as Mrs. Seltedielin Lacs her friends in Butler county practice would break down and wear out any coustitutioa, however strong. Those parts - of the country where the people, as Mrs. Swisshclin says, "are obliged to eat their surplus produce" are now happily very rare and very retinae: and I am somewhat inclined to think that Butler county, in Old.), is not among that ills favored number, as no less than four differest Pelham , Is centre in it. The idea of the Amer ican surplus killing more than the famine in Ireland a fow rears ii , -.), and of American eaentry girls killing ad o the traveling preachers by pampering their appetites. is, to say thadenet, simply ridiculous.
