THE ITIIRTY MILHJON CUBA PRO JECT COMMENDED 1 THE MiTiONS! < HARIUSEURG, March 17, 1859. iianisburg has been thronged for several •lays. Collectors, Surveyors, Post Masters, Contractors, and their swarms of hangers-on have been here by platoons to regulate the lio '•ofoco party. It was of little consequence who should be nominated for the Smtc offices to be filled ; for but Jiitlc hope is entertained of the success of the ticket ; but i: was impor tant to Mr. Buchanan and his office-holders ••hat his Kansas, Free Trade nnu Cuba policy should be endorsed, and to that end the efforts of the faithful were directed. When the delegates cumc here fresh from their constituencies, a very large majority were in favor of conciliation, uuiou and harmony — they were willing to allow differences of opinion on dangerous, questions and lend their best en ergies to consolidate the party and give it suc ees, if possible. But this did not suit Buch anan arid his adherents. We arc within one year tf another Presidential nouiinatiou: and t the lost of utter defeat, Pennsylvania inu-:t be kept in the leading-strings of the South.— It the Convention had been froe from Presi dential interference, there would have been harmonious action between the Buchanan and ait; Buchanan wings. A platform free from off-nce to either would have been adopted— and Packer would have been endorsod generally, and the party would have started in the coming contest apparently united, at least, and could have made an earnest struggle to redeem the state. But Mr. Buchanan seems to be con *ivent only in the unmingled bitterness with wtiich he pursues those who do not yield blind obedience to bis administration, and be prefer red to stand, with the empty bauble of an en dorsement, upon the wreck of bis party, to •eeiqg that party united and vigorous ami uc kn wiedging other gods than himself. 1 be national office-holders changed the whole curreution. 1 counted some twenty of tbeni— A Weekly Paper, Devoted to Literature, Politics, tlie Arts.

Leaomptonism and the other loading features of Buchanan policy.— The nnri-Lcoompton men weie choked down from the rery outset. They tried to make tiio . delegates faee iljo music by a direct vote for P. e-ii'Tt of tbc Convention , but that did not accord with the Distractions from Washington, and that importaut post Lad to be filled by t> c immittee. AgiD, when the committee on ; resolutions Lvl to be chosen, the auii-Lccomp ton men demanded that the delegates from each , Senatorial district should select one member cf j the committee, si that ther** should be a fair | expression of the sentiment of each district, | but that also wis voted dean.

H- was followed by Hagus, of Sorner s et, who gave the : boy some wholesome advice and brought dawn j the Lonse frequently by bis happy hi*?.

This ! sueecb urettv vff,;ct'j*l!y sdrneed the insolence jol tb° ofnee-bolders, and no one coul'. be got to defend their pel toy. FmnUy Professor Gar diner, the o:p-;tiau, who vends his goisls on ; the streete an t cracks stale jokes to the boys, w.;s prevailed upon to cutertam tbe convention, lie opened in a speech approving the Nitiana! Administration generally and his sosp in par- Ocular, •! ccuitnesaed both to the f*vcr j consiacreiioa of the public. Altera secret session of over two hours the committee ou rcsoiutico? reported.

At this stage of the pto j ceediogs, the autt-Lecompton men found that i the office-hollers Lai determined that Gov. Packer must be totally ignored, for his name oid not appear in the resolutions. Mr. Lim j bcrtoc, of Daupiiiu, offered the following as an ; additional resolution: t Resolved, Tbst we tppiove the State policy ;of Gov. Wm. F. Packer. His just exercise of j she veto power has been fearless and Demo cratic, and Lis administration of the affairs of our Commonwealth and the execution of the t 1 iw, commands our commendation. It will he seen that the Packer rendu!ion did j not refer to Licotnptou or auy of the other issues upon which (tie office-holders and Gov. Parker split; hut simply endorses bis State i policy. Kvea this small boon was not iu the Washington programme. Aknotot Collectors, Marshal. .4, P. st Masters, & •., counselled be hind the Speaker's chair,and the resolution must be voted down ; and forthwith the edict went forth aud was obeyed Lumlicrtou, llugu ..and others stood up boldly and warned the majority of the fatal consequences o f attempt i irjg to discrace the State administration when • its only crimo was c consist ant devotion to the principles which elected Air. Buchanan; bu ! j madness ruled the hour, and the resoluiion was lost, 81 to 37. Douglas, Saaaom, Stable and Myers, of your Senatorial district, all voted I with the majority. Ssusuin, though an avowed anti-Lecomptou mn, is one of Mr. Buchanan's post-masters ; Douglas is an ultra Leoomptouite 1 and voted consistently ; and Stable, of Adams, is a candidate for Senator next fall. It is i worthy of notice 'hat the first man who voted aguiust the resolution, endorsiug Packer, was ; Mr. Acker, of Sahylkill, who was pardoned by j Gov. Packer last summer and thus saved an im prisonment Jor Libel! 1 iMr. Collins offered the following resoluiion, which the President of course ruled our of or ■ der: Resolved , That, in the opinion of .this Con vention, the Republican wills elect their ticket I next fall by 50,000 majority, i Tho Convention then renominated lion. ii. !
