FOR GOVERNOR:
HENRY D. FOSTER,
OF WESTMORELAND COC.NTT.
THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVEN
TION-
Want of space precludes us from referring at
length to the proceedings of the Democratic
State Convention, which assembled at Reading
on the 29th ultimo. We can only say to our
readers that it was the largest, as it was the
most harmonious, Convention ever held in
Pennsylvania, and that the platform adopted
and the nomination made, will be endorsed by
an overwhelming majority of the voters of the
state in October next. We are now, thank
God a united Democracy, and the "clouds that
lowered upon our house are in the deep bosom
ofthe ocean buried." Under the leadership of
HENRY D. FOSTER, the "Star of the West,"
the Democratic column will march forward to
certain victory. For a full report of the pro- |
ceedings of the Convention, we refer our rea
ders to another column.
Our visit to Reading.
For once in our life, we have been in the
capital of glorious old Democratic Berks, and
we must say something about it. Reacting is a
city of about 25,000 inhabitants. Its streets
are wide, clean and regular, being sloped grad
ually from Penn's Alount, to the liver Schuyl
kill, so as to secure a good drainage : its buil
dings are handsome and imposing , its citizens,
mostly of German origin, plain, honest and
warm-hearted; its landlords liberal in their
charges, whilst at the same time, their fare is j
excellent; its lager and ale unsurpassed ; and
its damsels—heaven smile on them!—fair,
plump, amiable, and, to single men, no doubt, j
very enticing. We were so taken up with the
proceedings ot the Convention, that we did not
see as much of Reading as we desired. We,
however, did see some things. We saw the
wild woman and other women not so wild
we sav; Lauer's Artesian Well, now 2000 feet
deep—we paid a viit to the white house situa
ted on a high hill South East of the city, and
from its balcony thousands of feet above the
Schuylkill, beheld the capital of Berks stretch
ing before us, with its steeples and furnace
stacks, its rolling-mills and cotton mills, while
the smoke Jcurling upward from its factories,
showed that the prosperity of the city was fast
reviving, owing to that prudence and economy
which need no protective tariffs to make them
thrive. The Mineral Springs, lying in a vale
surrounded by high hills and towering forests,
also received us, and we have a grateful recol
lection of the ham and waffles, the chickens
sausages and wine, dispensed by the pleasant
landlady. We would fain say more, but we
feel that no man who has not seen more of Read
ing than we, can do the subject justice. One
peculiarity of the people of Reading, however,
we must not fail to mention, viz : their entire
freedom from dyspepsia, attributable, we hon
estly believe, to the goodness of their beer and
the cleverness ofthe landlords who deal it out.
For instance, at Columbia Hall, one ot the "pe
culiar institutions" of Reading, you sip your
beer to the tune of a band of excellent musicians
who nightly discourse most delightful music,
being hired for that purpose by the proprietor.
We also had the pleasure of making the ac
quaintance of the a most gallant Dem
ocratic bird—long and high may be soar ! —but
were disappointed in not meeting our brother
of the "Gazette and Democrat," on whom we
called twice. This much for Reading—may
she long remain, as she now is, the reigning
belle among the inland cities of Pennsylvania.
False Reports.
Some of the Opposition newspapers publish
telegraphic accounts of the proceedings ot the
Democratic State Convention, in which Messrs.
Cessna and Schell, of this county, are represen
ted as assailing the National Administration.
We know these accounts to be false, having
been present at the sittings ofthe Convention
and having heard every word uttered there by
our delegates. Messrs. Cessna and Schell have
always been friends of the Administration,
and in the late Convention they labored side
by side for the unity and harmony of the party.
Bedford county was ably and truly represen
ted in the Convention and she will sustain the
conduct of ner delegates by a largely increased
Democratic majority in October.
fCfThe nomination of HENRY D. FOS
TER, was a spontaneous tribute of his fellow
citizens, to hia sterling worth as a man and his
unimpeachable character as a Democrat. It
was unsought by him, and, therefore, his nomi
nation is an instance of the office seeking the
man, and not the man the office. How proud
should Democrats feel that so noble a man is
iheir standard-bearer.
TO THE DEMOCRATS OF BEDFORD
TOWNSHIP:
We feel it cur duly to call upon you all to
turn out to the election on Friday next. The
result of that election will have an important
influence upon our interests as Democrats and as
citizens. The enemy are secretly, but busily
at work. Let us be prepared to meet them.
Let us guard against their tricks. We have
100 clear majority in Bedford township, and
therefore are entitled to the offices. Come out,
then, one and all of you, and vote the ticket,
iht whole ticket and nothing but the ticket.

OUR COMMON SCHOOLS.
THE UNION SCHOOL-HOUSE OF BEDFORD. —
The school is now open for the short term of
two months. , This is by permission of a special
act of Assembly. The house itself is a model
one. In its construction and adaptation, there
appears to be a union of several of the latest and
more approved plans, which are admirably a
dapted to the purposes af a graded school.
Both in its external and internal structure, these
plans appear to be so happily united as to pro
duce a pleasing effect upon the eye, and be sat
isfying to the taste of the stranger. No pains
have been spared by the Directors, to have every
thing in and about the house, adapted to the
health, convenience, comfort and improvement
of the pupils. The school opened on the 6th
of last month, under the superintendendency of
a gentleman iately from Lancaster county, a
graduate of the Milierstown Normal school,
who came well recommended as a teacher of the
first class. He is assisted by three young ladies
of our town known as teachers in our schools
for several years past. It may be possible that
the Directors will be obliged to add one or two
more teachers to tbe number already employed,
in order to give the proper time and attention
to the large number of classes that will neces
sarily be formed. A formal opening of the
school was held on Friday eveningjthe 17th ult.
A large audience was present on the occasion,
entirely filling up the capacious hall in the buil
ding. Mr. Dickerson, the principal of the
school, first made some very appropriate re
marks to the parents, on the relation in which
he stands to them and their children, and the
duties they and their children owe to him and
the school. The Hon. H. C. Hickok, State
Superintendent, who was invited to be present
on the occasion, then delightfully entertained
the audience for two hours, with an appropri
ate and instructive address, delivered in his u
sual happy and pleasing manner.
The school is now open under flattering cir
cumstances, and the prospects bid fair to meet
even the most sanguine expectations of is war
mest friends. Beulord borough is no longer to
stand in the rear ot the educational interests
of our county, and allow Bedford township,
Middle and South Woodberry, East Providence,
St. Clair and some other townships to lead.
Though most of the schools of the county, have
been better, for the last three years, than those
in the town, yet. now Bedford is resolved to
make its school a model for the whole couti
ty.

STONE CHURCH, BEDFORD CO., PA.
At a full meeting of the Presbyterian congre
gation of the above named place, held in the
same, on the 3d day of March 18G0, the follow
ing preamble and resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted :
Whereas , our minister, the Rev. Daniel Wil
liams, who has been supplying our pulpit for
the last two years and a half, owing to the fact
that he does not see his way clear to support
his family on the salary we promised him, has
determined not to spttle with us, and has notifi
ed us that he will return the call we have put
in his hands at the next Presbyterv, There
fore,
Resolved, that though we find no fault with
Mr. Williams for taking this step, yet we t rulv
regret it and regard it as a great less to us as "a
people.
Resolved, that Mr. Williams, while with] us,
conducted himself as a very pleasant gentleman
a pious and devoted minister, and is in our hum
ble judgment a very excellent preacher, and
has been truly successful among us.
Resolved, that we earnestly request him to
remain with us at least another six months, if
he can consistently with his sense of duty to
himself and family, and if not, we ilfsure him
that he will still have our esteem and pray
ers.

THE NATIONAL AND STATE ADMINIS
TRATIONS ENDORSED.
The Democracy of the Keystone Uni
ted and Jubilant!
The Delegates composing the Democratic
State Convention assembled at Reading on Wed
nesday last for the purpose of electing delegates
to the National Convention at Charleston, cbo
sing an Electoral Ticket, and nominating a can
didate lor Governor. The Convention was bv
tar the largest ever convened in this Common
wealth, and its proceedings were characterized
by the utmost harmony and enthusiasm through
out. i houxands ot the stuidy and honest sons
of the Old Keystone were assembled on tile oc
casion, and a feeling animated all, which gave
unmistakable evidence of a glorious Democratic
triumph at the coming elections in October ami
November.
The Convention was organized at eleven o'-
clock on Wednesday by the election of Hon
George Nelson Smith, of Cambria county, as
tamporary chairman, by a vote of 68 for" that
gentleman to 58 tor HON. W. F. SCHELL, of
Bedford. Mr. Smith, on taking the chair, de
livered a sound and eloquent address which was
received with much applause.. After the ap
pointment of committees on permanent organi
zation, on contested seats, and the transaction
ot some other business, the Convention adjourn
ed to meet at three o'clock in the aiter
noon.
Upon re-assemb!ing at the hour above named,
a vote was taken for permanent President of
the Convention, which resulted in the choice of
Hon. William H. Welsh, of York county, by a
vote of 84 against 44 cast lor Judge Cunning
ham, of Beaver county. Air. Welsh, on takine
his seat, delivered a most eloquent and beautiful
speech which called forth loud bursts of ap
plause.
The committee on permanent organization
then reported a list of 33 vice presidents and
12 secretaries, who were elected and took their
seats.
A motion was made that a committee of one
from each Congressional district be appointed to
choose delegates to the Charleston Convention,
and Presidential electors, from each of the said
districts.
This gave rise to a lengthy and animated dis
cussion, and was finally lost by a decisive vote
—an amendment offered by Mr. Schell, that
the Convention proceed by a direct vote to
choose four delegates at large to the Charleston
Convention and two electors at large lor the
State, being adopted. The selection of district
electors and delegates to Charleston was left to
the several delegates from the respective Con
gressional districts. HON. WILLIAM BIGLER, HON
JOHN L. DAWSON, HON. WILLIAM MONTGOMERY
and HON. JOS. B. BAKER were elected delegates
at large to Charleston.
The Convention re-assembled at nine o'clock
on Thursday morning, and proceeded to elect
two electors at large. The first ballot resulted
in the choice of Gen. George M. Keim, of Berks
county, and Hon. Richard Vaux, of Philadel- ,
phia, the former receiving 102 votes, and the!
latter 89.
A motion was then made to nominate candi
dates to be balloted for for the nomination for
Governor, ai;d the following gentlemen were
named :
Hon. Willitm H. Witte, Hon. George San
derson, Hon. John L. Dawson, Hor.. Jacob Fry,
Jr., Hon. Jeremiah Shindle, Hon. N'imrod
Strickland, Hon. William Hopkins, Hon. Hen
drick B Wright, Hon. A. S. Wilson, Hon. John
Cresswell, and Hon. Henry D. Foster.
The name of the latter gentleman was with
drawn, he having declined to be a candi
date. Mr. Dawson's name was also with
drawn.
The Convention then proceeded to ballot,
withßhe following result;
N umber of votes cast, 133
Necessary to a choice, 67
AVitie, 4-8

Mr. Johnson, ol Cambria county, asked that
I the nominations be opened lor the purpose ol a
i gain placing the name of Gen. Foster before the
j Convention, and delivered a stirring speech in
! favor ol that gentleman's nomination which was
! ioudly applauded.
j The Convention then proceeded to a third

Mr. Sansom, of Fulton. I came herp, Mr.
Chairman, as a member ol the Democratic par
ty, and with no preference on tire subject of
Governor, I have, heretofore voted lor Mr.
Witte, but now change rny vote to Henry D.
Foster, of Westmoreland. [Applause.]
Mr, Ksser, of Berks. Mr. Chairman, the
Convention of Berks county instructed their del
egates to vote for Mr. Foster. That gentleman
,s now in nomination, and I feel it a duty lowe
to the Convention of Berks county to vote for
him. I change my vote to Henry D. Foster.
[Loud cheering.]
Mr. Baer, of Somerset. I have a desire Mr.
Chairman, that the candidate for Governot
| should be able to take the field and meet the
j leader of tfce Opposition. This Mr. Foster is
! emumiitly qualified to do. [Great applause.]
j I im°nd to*change my vote, and in doing so f
I w|R) to show no disrespect to Mr. Witte and
1 his liiendS; but when I see the name ofHen
! ry D. Foster presented to this Convention [re
j newed applause] I feel it to be my duty to do
! all in my power to bring about his nomination,
j [Cheers.] The principal thing to be done here
'is to put a man upon a proper platform—a man
| who will be able to meet the Opposition candi
! date on every s\ump in the State. [Cheeks.]
1 therefore change rny vote to Henry D. Foster,
a man whom the people are now seeking lor
the office. Our success with him Will be cer
tain. [Cheers for "Foster," and applause.]
Lafayette Baker now changed his vote to
Henry D. Foster, and was followed by Mr.
Searight. The changes were greeted with loud
applause, and led to an intense excitement.
A number ol delegates arose, vociferously
screaming "Mr. President," with the intention
ot changing their votes lo Mr. Foster. The
President, after vainly endeavoring to restore
order, gave the floor ,to Mr. Dietrich, ot Ly
coming.
j Mr. Dietrich. I now move you, Mr. Presi
] dent, that Henry D. Foster, of Westmoreland
he nominated as the candidate for Governor bv
acclamation.
Mr. Calhoun, of Luzerne. 1 second the mo
tion.
[The scene that followed baffles all attempts
]at description. Nearly every delegate in the
room, as well as the spectators beyond* the bar,
arose and mingled in the scene of ex
citement. In vain Mr. Cessna clamored, "Mr.
President." A hundred others were doing the
same thing. The President gave up all attempts
at preserving order, and took his seat. The
confusion lasted some eight minutes, when Mr.
Cessna, who was the leader of the Witte for
ces, managed to be recognized.]
Mr. Cessna. I ask, Mr. Chairman, that the
vote on the last ballot be announced. Until
this is done the motion of Mr. Dietrich is out of
order. When the result is announced, I will
offer an amendment to the motion of the gentle
man from Lycoming, Mr. Dietrich.
Cries of "question," "question" "question,"
amid the greatest possible confusion and enthu
siasm. The President used his gavel most en
ergetically, and endeavored in vain to bring the
Convention to order.
At last tne President said : Gentlemen—
The motion ol the gentleman from Lycoming is
carried and I declare Henry D. Foster, of West
moreland county, the nominee of the Conven
tion.
Here followed a scene of enthusiastic excite
ment such as Was never perhaps witnessed in
any convention. The Delegates and the mas
ses in attendance seemed to forget in a moment
that any other m3n had been named for the Gu
bernatorial nomination, and the cheers for Fos
ter almost made the ball in which the Conven
tion assembled rock. A band ot music entered
and struck up "The Star Spangled Banner"
while a cannon placed in the street boomed
forth in honor of the event. After this enthu
siasm had continued for more than fifteen min
utes, the roll was, on motion, called and every
member of the Convention recorded his vote in '
/avor of Mr. Foster. The President in an
nouncing the result said :
"Gentlemen of the Convention, the clerks a
gree in their tally. One hundred and thirty
three votes have been cast for Mr. Foster, and 1
now declare Henry I). Foster, of Westmoreland
—God bless him ! to be the unanimous choice
of this Convention of the united Democracy, as
their candidate for the Gubernatorial chair of
Pennsylvania."
This announcement was followed by a renew
ed outburst of applause which continued for
soir.e minutes, in the midst of which a motion
was made that all the candidates for Governor
present be invited to address the Convention.
In obedience to the call which followed this
motion, Messrs. Dawson, Frj*, Witte, and other
gentlemen appeared and addressed the Conven
tion amid much enthusiasm.
At the afternoon session the following repre
sentative delegates and ejectors were named and
unanimously endorsed.

take great pleasure in relating a case of spasms or
fits, cured by your invaluable Pills. My brother,
J. .1. Ligon, has long bpen afflicted with Ibis awful
disease. He was first attacked while quite young.
He would have one or two spasms at one attack at
first; buf as tip grew older, they seemed to increase
likewise. Up to the time he commenced taking
; your Pills, he had them very often and quite severe
prostrating him body and mind. His mind had suf
fered seriously ; but now, lam happy to say, he is
cured of those tits. He has enjoyed fine health for
th e last five months past. His mind has also re
turned to its original sprightliness. All this 1 take
a great pleasure in communicating, as it may be
the means of directing others to the remedy that
will cure them. Yours respectfully, 4~c. '
