Another Democratic State Convention.
A call for another Democratic State Con
vention, numerously signed, by leading Dem
ociats of the State, has been issued. The fol
lowing is the call :
The Democratic citizens of Pennsylvania are invited to
assemble in State -Convention at Harrisburg on Wednes
day. the 13th day of April, 1859, to consult upon the pro
priety of adopting measures to vindicate the name, fame,
and principles of the Democratic party, outraged and in
sulted by a Convention assembled at the State Capitol on
the 10th of March :
To resist the high-handed attempt of the Federal Ad
ministration to dictate political creeds of the people-
To protest against the war of a consolidated Federa ' l des
potism upon State sovereignty and State rights ;
To re-assert the great principle of Popular Sovereignty
and non-intervention, as well in the Territol•ies as in the
States—non-intervention by Congress with slavery in the
Territories, and non-intervention by the Federal Execu
tive with the franchises of the people of the States;
To re-endorse the old-fashioned creed of the Democratic
party, repudiated and trampled under foot by men claim
ing to represent the party;
And, finally, to proclaim our unfaltering confidence in
William F. Packer, Governor of Pennsylvania, who has
been assailed and proscribed because he refused, at the
bidding of Federal dictation, to betray the trust, desert
the principles, and falsify the pledges of the Union States
Rights Democracy.

CORRESPONDENCE OP TILE GLOBE.
TYRONE CITY, April 1, 1859
FRIEND LEwrs :—I have been spending the
former part of this week attending the clos
ing exercises of the winter session, at the
"Mountain Female Seminary," and; as many
of your numerous readers have relatives or
friends among the pupils of that Institution,
'have thought a brief account of the Examina
tion, &c., might be interesting to them.
The reader must excuse me if I make mis
takes in names, as many of both teachers and
pupils are stangers to me I shall not notice
the classes in the order in which they were
examined, but shall, so far as I can recollect,
speak of each branch of study on which I
had the pleasure of hearing the young ladies
examined. The classes in mental arithme
tic, examined by Miss Davis, evinced very
careful instruction in the analysis of, arith
metical problems. This branch of study,
generally irksome to young ladies, must have
had some fascination thrown around it by the
teacher, in order to secure such proficiency
on the part of the students. The classes in
geography answered promptly, and for the
time and opportunities they have had, they
did well. On Monday afternoon we listened
to the Bible recitation, conducted by Mr.
Grier. We were truly gratified to see both
teacher and scholars, take so deep an interest
in this important study. Their conductdu
ring the recitation showed plainly that they
remember the injunction—" Search the Srip
tures." May its holy light ever shine upon
their pathway through life.
The lesson in mental philosophy was in
teresting, and the young ladies composing
the class showed by their correct reasoning,
that females do not all " take every thing for
granted," as some old bachelor has slander
ously reported. We were much pleased with
the mode of conducting the examination in
written arithmetic. Principles were required
instead of rules : thus making reasoners of
the pupils, instead of machines. We listened
with a lively interest to the examination of
a class, by Miss Davis—on Roman lEstory.
We have not heard so much of the Belgi,
the Helvitii, the Puric wars, of Cicero and
his competitors, &c., &c., since our own hap
py school days. The classes in English gram
mar acquitted themselves quite creditably.—
I hope the young ladies will not do as is of
ten done by students ; i. e., study principles
at school, and never practice them at home.
The algebra classes used the symbols, coef
ficients, and exponents with more expedition
and greater accuracy, than I have generally
witnessed in similar Institutions.
The class in astronomy gave good evidence
that they had been watching the stars more
closely than the gentlemen, during the session.
May their star of hope be ever bright, and
they, themselves become fixed suns (or rath
er daughters) around which planets of lesser
magnitude shall revolve in beautiful harmo
ny... Tho examination in familiar science,
was both interesting and instructive. If the
young ladies will but put in practice what
they have been learning from that branch,
there will be less risk in going to the mar
riage (h) altar, and as a natural consequence,
fewer spinsters and bachelors, and more domes
tic bliss. The young ladies in geometry did
credit to themselves and teacher.
We have seldom, if ever, witnessd better
mathematical talent among females-than is
possessed by two members of this class. The
class in "Paley's Natural Theology," gave
evidence of close study and careful instruc
tion.
At the close of the examination, on Wed
nesday afternoon, Rev. D. X. Junkin. D. D.,
of Hollidaysburg, read a well written essay,
on 'the evils of novel reading.' Had the same
been delivered as an oration, it would doubt
less have produced effect. The school room
was decorated with numerous specimens of
paintings, executed by the members of the
drawing class under the supervision of Miss
M. S. Wilson. Among the sketches, I rec
ognized several familiar landscapes. •On
Wednesday night a concert consisting of vo
cal and instrumental music was given by
teachers and pupils. The singing was good.
Time and modulation have been carefully at
tended to. The young ladies belonging to
Miss Rathburns' department, (instrumental
music,) performed their part well.
My letter is already too long; so I must
close by saying, that the Mountain Seminary
with its healthful and romantic situation.—
Moral influence, gentlemanly principal, and
faithful assistants, is worthy of the confidence
and patronage of all parents and guardians.
LEROY:
What is Wrong ?
[From the Clinton Co. Democrat.]
That there is something wrong—something
that induces the ill-feeling and divisions now
existing in the Democratic party, is a'propo
sition that probably no one will dispute.—
What it is, we may all differ about. Some
thing, however, must have been wrongly done
—injudiciously done—in the . management of
the government or the party, or both, that
has so loosened party ties and brought such
disaster upon that old Democracy that has
governed the country with such marked suc
cess and propriety from the days of I/En...ER
' SON to the present, excepting only very brief
intervals. The present is not a favorable op
portunity to inquire into the mistakes of gov
ernment that have directly induced the exist
ing disruption, but what primarily caused
the errors we complain of, may be inquired
into, in our opinion, with entire propriety.—
What else can it have been than a too blind
adherence to self-constituted party leaders—
to carelessness on the part of the people in
the selection of Delegates to our Conventions,
and the consequent selfish action of the latter
instead of promoting the success of the prin
ciples of the party they represented—and to
fogyism of the foggiest character ! Our an- ,
nual political State Conventions are a curse
to the party and to the country. They ena
ble selfish politicians to form and keep up
combinations to promote their personal inter
' ests, and hence the names of the leading spir
its of our Conventions of one year, are the
names of the same controlling power in all
other Conventions--the very same names
continually occurring in every Convention.—
This of course would cause sameness in the
purposes of the proceedings—idiocy—selfish
ness—a greedy desire for profit, for personal ag
f*randisement--and continued success would
certainly, as it has, induce insolence, dictation,
a cowardly trampling down of rivals and
competitors. It keeps the party organization
in the bands of old men who do not know the
people or the wants of the times—in the hands
of fossil remains of the past ages, like Ar
nold Plumer and Judge Gillis, clever men but
superannuated, selfish, factious, and full of
old sores, office-hunters by occupation, genu
ine, unadulterated, unmitigated old fogies.
Under such lead no party can ever be success
ful—no good can ever be done. We want
the young men of to-day—the vigor, and tal
ent, and genius of the times—the men of the
times to manage things for themselves. Leg
islating and managing for posterity is a hum
bug, a supercilious, grannyish absurdity.—
We want none of it.
JUNIATA
Napoleon over-run Europe with apparent
ease, driving the almost perfect armies of the
other nations 'before him with scarcely an ef
fort, until lie had either driven into disgrace
or killed off the grannies who commanded the
armies of his enemies. But no sooner did
young men come into place and power, than
the star of the "terror of Kings" commenced
descending. Then Napoleon lost his power.
And this is the history of all countries and
all parties. Nature never designed gran
nies for rulers or commanders, and of all
humanity, they arc the least fit for such po
sitions.
The thing for the Democratic party to do,
then, before it can regain its ancient power
and prestige, is to RID ITSELF OF ITS GRANNIES,
and place in command younger men, of more
vigor and power—men who are of the age,
and are" thoroughly imbued with its spirit.—
This done, then invincible power will again
return to the Democracy, union, harmony,
domestic peace and good-will once more char
acterise every class, and the country will once
more leap into a condition of unexampled
prosperity.
The Opinions of the Democratic Press.
[From the Warren Ledger.]
The Democratic State Convention which
assembled at Harrisburg on the 16th inst.,
saw fit to read Governor Packer out of the
party by a vote of 84 to 37. The ostensible
reason for so doing, as stated by those who
denounced the Governor, was that he had
favored the sale of the canals to the Sunbury
& Erie Railroad Company, and we notice this
same reason is given by all the papers whiCh
sustain the late Convention. To show how
much sincerity there is in this, it is only ne
cessary to state that both branches of the Leg
islature had a Democratic majority, last ses
sion, when the "Sunbury and Erie swindle;"
as it is called, was passed. Gov. Packer
signed the bill because he had no constitu
tional objections to it; but if blame attaches
to any one it must be to those Representatives
and Senators who passed the bill. But the
whole thing is the meanest kind of a subter
fuge. The fact plainly sticks out in every
move of the Convention that Gov. Packer
was denounced because of his . Anti-Lecomp
ton sentiments. Nearly all of the 84 were
office-holders under the General Government
or had sons who were office-holders, and
they were bound to do as they were bid by
the President. Mr. Buchanan had deter
mined to sacrifice Gov. Packer because it
was not thought safe to allow any Democrat
to differ with the National Administration,
and this silly twaddle about the Governor's ite
tion in regard to the Sunbury and Erie is
the sheerest nonsense, and insulting to the
intelligence of the people of this Common
wealth.
The meeting of the late Convention was
an opportune moment to conciliate the an
tagonistic elements of the Democratic party
in Pennsylvania. The Lecompton question
had been settled to the satisfaction of Anti-
Lecompton Democrats, by the people of Kan
sas, and the other branch of the party should
have honorable acquiesced in its settlement.
Whatever acrimonious feeling had been en
gendered during the contest, had been allay
ed, and the troubled waters could have been
easily assuaged by a little pouring out of the
oil of harmony; but it was decreed other
wise by "the powers thatiat Washington,
and the Gillis'es and Whal ns were the dirty
tools -who were chosen to do the unholy
work. If the order from head-quarters was
to destroy the Democratic party in Pennsyl
vania, they have accomplished their work to
completion. Fit instruments for an un
righteous cause. They certainly deserve to
receive the thanks of the Republican party
and its leaders, in addition to the " loaves
and fishes" which have been showered upon
them by Mr Buchanan.
In some respects, we do not regret the ac
tion of the office-holders' Convention. A
question of vast moment has been precipita
ted upon the party in the State which might
have been withheld to some more unpropi
tious time. Are .the Democrats of Pennsyl
vania longer to remain the abject slaves of
" Pennsylvania's favorite son," to do his
bidding, right or wrong ? Are we to speak
only as imbecility shall dictate, and think
only as ingratitude shall suggest ? God for
bid ! Free mon will exercise free thought
and free speech, and no power under heaven
shall gainsay it. The shackles which have
bound the consciences of Pennsylvania Dem
ocrats are now broken, and we now stand out
as men and Democrats, who knowing the
right, dare and will do it.
The Somerset Democrat, the only Demo
cratic paper published in Somerset county—
the home of Judge Black, says :
We are sorry to say that there was not
that harmony, concession, and good feeling
exhibited in the deliberations of the Conven
tion which should have characterized it, and
which is always so necessary to the success of
our principles. Its'action relative to the ad
ministration of Gov. Packer, is to be regret
ted ; and not only that, but it will meet with
the disapproval of the Democracy, no matter
by what majority it may have prevailed. It
was unwise and impolitic, and may prove
to be disastrous in its consequences."
The Doylestown Democrat holds forth as
follows:
Last year the Convention hung a mill-stone
around the necks of the Candidates, in the
shape of a platform so odious that the party
could not stand upon it, and by the time the
train had reached the end of the road, some
thirty thousand Democrats had tumbled off
along the way. This year the same thing
has been done, and we fear similar results
will follow. If the object of the Convention
was merely to offer up victims, it could easi
ly have found worthy sacrifices in the per
sons of more obscure and less deserving
men, (than Gov. Packer.) Why draw the
Kansas question into this contest at .all, and
particularly, wherefore saddle the candidates
with the Administration policy, on this ques
tion ? Why load our State ticket down with
Cuba, and make the candidates assume the
responsibility of the issue, in the face of the
known determination (oi'Spain not to sell ?
Can any sensible man tell us ? We hope
the creatures of power will not all answer at
once.
The attack upon the administration of Gov.
Packer, we consider the weakest and silliest
move that has been made on the political
chess board for some time. It is to be pre
sumed that the Convention nominated the
candidates with a view to their election.—
Nlbw, Gov. Packer has hosts of friends in all
parts of the State, and it is hardly possible
that they will be very active in placing men
in power whose election will be considered a
victory over him."
[From the iyeoming Gazette.]
The attempt of the late convention to es
tablish Lecomptonism, under the guise of
finding fault with the sale of the canals to
the 'Sunbury & Erie railroad company, was
too shallow to mislead a child. The two lead
ers of the convention—the tiro men who
might almost be called the convention, for
they held the prepared programme, and man
aged everything by it, in defiance of justice
and fairness—were among the most active
borers, last winter, for the bill authorizing
that sale ; and they by no means stood alone
among the members of the convention in hav
ing importuned the legislature to pass the
act. In addition to this, it was distinctly an
nounced by privileged orators in the conven
tion, that it was the aim of the body, and
the object to be attained in voting against the
resolution indorsing the Governor to cut
loose from "outsiders," as they sneeringly
denominated all who had refused to bow the
knee to Lecompton. The Washington Union,
the mouth-piece of the President, confirms
this view of the vote, and boasts of it. The
Pittsburg Post, the Democratic organ of that
city, and a Lecompton journal, while it open
ly and strongly denounces the convention,
also says of the rejection of Mr. La.mberton's
resolution, that " the real reason of this 'was
" because Governor Packer is the leading
" man among that portion of the Democracy
"of the State, who profess anti-Lecomptora
"views. We - speak plainly and as we think.
" The charges—the unproved assertions made
" against the Governor on the floor of the
" convention, were but a dust raised to con
" coal the true ground of those who refused
"to endorse, in very general terms, his
" State policy," &c. Bear in mind, it is a
Lecompton paper which says that. And any
man who witnessed the proceedings of the
convention, knows that it is the plain truth,
and nothing but the truth. There shall' be
no dodging the real question.
Nearly one-half of the whole number of
votes upon the resolution to endorse Governor
Packer, were cast by officeholders or the
near relatives of office-holders under the
Federal Government—and many of them
"substitutes," beside.
[From the Perry County Democrat].
We have met with but few Democrats in
this county who approve the action of the
late State Convention as regards its refusal to
endorse Gov. PACKER'S Administration.—
hlad nothing been said about either the Pres
ident or the Governor—National or State Ad
ministrations—but simply the adoption of a
resolution re-affirming the Cincinnati platform,
there would not be heard a word of com
plaint.
Every Democrat appears to be perfectly
satisfied with the nomination of Messrs
Waiour and RowE, who' are acknowledged
even by the Opposition to be excellent men—
men of ability and integrity; but the fire
brand of dissention that has been cast into
the ranks of our time-honored organization
by selfish and aspiring politicians, by the
adoption of resolutions approving of the en
tire policy . of the National Administration
and the rejection of a resolution sustaining
the State Administration, calls forth from
every Democrat who has the welfare and
success di the Democratic party at heart the
severest reprehension.
We haye yet to find the good Democrat
who is unwilling to stand upon the Cincinnati
platform, as it was explained and construed
in Pennsylvania in 1856. All say it was
broad enough and strong enough then, to
hold the entire Democratic Party, and that it
is broad enough and strong enough for every
Democrat to stand on now.'
In this opinion we heartilyy concur, and
further declare that we recognize the right of
no Convention, County or State, to alter or
amend, ignore or annul a single plank in that
platform.
The Democratic party is a national party.
Its creed is enunciated by a National Con
vention and no interpolations or innovations
in or of that creed, by any other authority
than that which declared it, are binding up
on any DemoCrat.
Precisely as the platform of the Democrat
ic party is constructed at one National Con
vention, so it will remain with us until the
meeting of the next, regardless of denuncia
tion from any qUarter. We will stand by
the Old Flag of the Democracy as long as a
rag remains and will recognize no other.
Jacobi an Evans
These two wretched prisoners, who are to
suffer the extreme penalty of the law on the
20th of May.• next, are beginning to suffer
considerable mental agony. Evans spends a
large portion of his time in scripture reading
and prayer, but as he still persists in declar
ing his innocence, his heart is evidently not
changed for the better.
Jacobi has borne up remarkably well, un
til within a few days past, when his stoic in
difference is no more apparent. He shows
no signs of emotion, when entertaining compa
ny, but his thoughts prey upon him terribly in
the silent hours of night. His cell mate, a
German, confined upon a charge of larceny,
states that Jacobi has 'slept but little for sev
eral nights past. He tosses and turns upon
his miserable cot, and frequently gives .vent
to his feelings by tears and sobs. He cannot
suffer to remain in the cell without a light,
and a candle is kept constantly burning.—
He often speaks in the most touching man
ner in reference to his children, and wonders
what shall become of them after he is gone.
He attributes his mental distress to this pain
ful anxiety in regard to the welfare of his
children, and does not admit that he fears
death on his own account.
Wretched, wretched indeed, is the condi
tion of these blood stained men, and it is not
to be wondered at that they pass sleepless
nights. " What is done cannot be undone,"
and they must continue to suffer the pangs of
remorse and the goadings of conscience until
the law deprives them of that which they
have forfeited by crimes so unnatural and
atrocious. —Pittsburgh, MCC PITSS.
SO SEYSE.-A gentle Man of high social
consideration in Genoa, lately - made the clis
c)very that his wife was unfaithful to him.
Waiting his opportunity, he found the guilty
pair together, and politely showed them the
way to the street door; which 'he closed after
them. He then sent a servant for an under
taker, ordered the arrangements for a funer
al, sent out cards of invitation to his friends,
and over the empty coffin, performed the cer
emony for a departed wife: This over, be
deliver,d the light burthen to the hearse, and
once more addressing his friends, called fur
their congratulations upon the fact that he
