LOCAL & PERSONAL.
sear- Local items are as scarce as gold dol_
tars in our pocket. We have hunted and
hunted, but when we come to count up the
result, we find it amount:, to nix. Our town
is so very dull that we can't even get up a
dog light. Since the great" mill" excitement
has subsided, and the Charleston Convention
farce blowed out, and the Constitutional Union
Party Convention completed its labors, the
ravenous minds of the American people uow
wait with impatience, the result of the Chica
go Convention • which meets to-day. If we
are not a decidedly fast people ; if we can't
dispose of niore business; settle more ques
tions of a political character in less time and
with more talk, than any other nation on the
face of this broad earth, there is no use talking
about fast people; or fast ages. So we move
along. Wonder where we'll land. The only
place we can imagine is, on the other side of
Jordan. •
MAY.—Ah, beautiful, smiling May ! thou
hast come once more. All the world seems
radiant with thy smiles. The trees have put
forth their leaves in beauty and grandeur.--
The fields are green with the growing vege
tation, and the birds carol forth their sweet,
Charming lays from early dawn till dusky eve.
Even the brute creation seem to know thy
gentleness. Flowers, sweet flowers, germi
nate around us, and emit a fragrance which
sends joy and gladness to the heart.
The grain crop never presented a more
favorable appearance than at this time. The
fields around us present a grand spectacle,
and it does our heart good to look at them.—
The farmers from ail parts of the county, re
port the prospects for a heavy wheat crop, to
he of the most flattering character. If not
destroyed by hail storms or the fly, we antici
pate a larger yield in this county, than has
been for a number of years past.
cee'. The Hollidaysburg Branch Accommo
dation' train commenced running to this place
on Monday. It arrives here at I o'clock, and
leaves at 1:30 P. M., stopping at all the sta
tions between this place and Altoona. This
is a move in the right direction, and we are
confident the gentlemanly Superintendent of
the road, Mr. Lewis, will receive the thanks
of a large mass of the people, fur his clover
and accommodating spirit.
THE FRESLIET.—We learn from our ex
changes that immense damage has been done
in some parts of the State by the recent high
water. Tfrone City, was nearly all under
water last week. We have not learned wheth
er any damage was done, or to what extent.
The Juniata at this place was a little on the
"high" order.
ftEr A. report is current here, that a color
ed man belonging to this place, named Thomp
son, was shot a few days ago, at or some
where near Clark's Ferry, whilst in the act
of robbing a store. Six balls entered his
body, two of them penetrating to the heart,
which killed him instantly.
Bar We observed several " plugs" "lying
around loose" on Saturday evening, and
making night hideous with their oaths and
unearthly yells. We should think after Dr.
Cox proving so conclusively, that the " forty

let it alone.

THE GRAPE CULTURE.—For the last two or
three years, the out-door culture of grapes
has become a mania—everybody seems to be
rtlshing into it, so that it is not uncommon to
find in the garden of amateurs, from fifteen
to forty varieties, and daily additions as new
varieties, of which there is an abundance,
are brought into notice by their anxious dis
coverers.
As we indite this notice, however, to make
just so many lines, to order, our object is to
refer to an opinion which is beginning to find
believers—we among the number—teat the
grape vine is too inuch cultivated ; it is forced
too much and pruned too .much—in a word
doctored too much. Among the best and
most perfect bunches of Isabella grapes we
ever saw, were some raised upon our premi
ses, without trenching, draining or a particle
of manure ; indeed, there was not over two
inches of common soil on the surface, all be
low being brickbats, stones, mortar, shavings
and the general offal of a new buildincrp.y—

Speech of Lewis C. Cassidy, Esq.,
TO THE KEYSTONE CLUB OF PHILADELPHIA
The following eloquent address of Lewis
C. Cassidy, Esq., to the Keystone Club, on the
occasion of a serenade given him on his re
turn as a delegate from the National Conven
tion, we find in The Press:
The Club, accompanied by a large body of
citizens;'reached Mr. C.'s house about half
past ten o'clock, and after several pieces of
music had been played by the Pennsylvania'
Cornet Band, Mr. McCandless appeared at
the window and said:
GENTLEMEN: Mr. Cassidy is present, and I
will shave the pleasure of introducing him to
you. In doing so, I beg leave to make a few
remarks in reference to his course at Charles
ton, for which we have thought fit to come
here and give him this serenade. Turning
to Mr. Cassidy, Mr. McCandless said, " Sir,
your friends having learned of your arrival
home from the Charleston Convention, they
thought it due to the course you have pur
sued to come forward this evening, and show
their appreciation of your action by rallying
around you the members of the Keystone
Club. You are the only delegate from the
city of Philadelphia that attended the Charles
ton Convention who truly, honorably, and
fairly repreSented the wishes of their con
stituents, [applause,] but, in so doing, you
have, if possible, attached more closely to
you the active young Democrats of' our city
and State. In our recollection of what took
place at Charleston, we can neither forget nor
forgive the action of your colleagues—that
little band of Federal officers and their satel
lites who endeavored to crush out the man
over whose shoulders they have been hoisted
into political power; and I tell you that when
they again come before the people for their
suffrages we will give them such a rebuke as
will teach them their duty. I now introduce
-to you, my fellow-citizens, our eloquent friend,
Lewis C. Cassidy, Esq."
This was the signal for prolonged cheering
and enthusiastic applause. After the ap
plause had partially subsided, Mr. Cassidy
proceeded to address them as follows:
MR. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN OF VIE
KEYSTONE CLUB To say to you that I am ex
ceedingly indebted to you for this spontane
ous outburst of applause, anti for the • very
handsome compliment you have paid me to
night, were but Illy to express the feelings
that well up in my heart upon this occasion.
have much to say in rendering an account
to you of my stewardship, and there is yet
much to be written of the history of the late
Convention, and I propose, God willing, both
to speak and write it. [Applause.] I went
to Charleston desiring to carry out the wishes
of my constituents; and I believed then, as
I believe now, that the people of the First
Congressional district, in common with the
people of this great old Commonwealth, de
sired to have presented as their standard
bearer at the coming Presidential contest,
that chieftain of the Northwest—the embodi
ment of that great Democratic principle, the
right of the people to determine for them
selves their own institutions—l allude to Ste
phen A. Douglas, of Illinois, [prolonged
cheering ;] and - I beg to say to you to-night
that it is my proud boast that, from the first
to the last, I never faltered in my devotion to
the hero of Illinois, [applause,] and please
God, when we meet at Baltimore, I will con
tinue to do battle in the same great'cause, let
it terminate as it may. [Applause.] I am
willing to . stand by the cardinal principles of
our party and its greatest leader, and to go
up or down with it. If we are to be put
down by secessionists and disunionists, let us
know it now, that we may be prepared prop
erly to meet them.
When we arrived at Charleston, from the
23d of April until the day we left it, I regret
to say, as a Democrat, that I found arrayed
against Judge Douglas the National Admin
istration, all its power and all its force, and
I found with them their natural and proper
associates—the disunionists of the South—
and the only men who preached treason to
the confederation of the States were the satel
lites of Mr. Buchanan. [Cries of That's the
way to give it to them.] I found Mr. Slidell,
of Louisiana, Mr. Bright, of Indiana, Mr.
Cushing of Massachusetts, [groans,] and Mr.
Bigler, of Pennsylvania, [groans and hisses,]
the representatives of the President, [That's
so,] endeavoring to make a platform upon
which not only Mr. Douglas could not stand,
but to make such a platform as was disgrace
ful to the humanity of the age. Not content
with this treason to the people. an effort was
made in that Convention to induce the Penn
sylvania delegation to violate and repudiate
their own platform, adopted by the Reading
Convention; and when it was offered as the
olive branch that would bring peace to all,
embodying, as it undoubtedly did, the Demo
cratic sentiment of our old Keystone State,
will you believe me, when I tell you that
there could be found Pennsylvanians who had
accepted their officers under that platform,
and under the strongest pledge to sustain it,
to vote to put it down, and that they were
willing to adopt in lieu of it, that specious
line in the platform of Mr. Bayard, of Dela
ware, " that the Democratic party should
protect persons and property on the high
seas"—in other words, to open the slave trade.
Against that doctrine all the Douglas men
protested, and fought it down. [Applause.]
No one had talked of disunion or secession
until they were told, in the most emphatic
terms, that the men of the North were resolved
that there should no longer be left the slight
est pretext to call our party pro-slavery--that,
while we were not only willing to go as far
as the farthest in maintaining the constitu
tional rights of the South, as of all the States
that they would not " crook the pregnant
hinges of the knee" to any set of men—in a
word, that they knew the wishes of their con
stituonts, and dared maintain the : rn ; and that
no doctrine that violated the great principles
they fought for should be put upon the Dem
ocratic party. [Applause.]
I am proud to say.that in the effort to car
ry out these views we were successful by
twenty-eight majority, and then these South
ern men--I do not now pretend to charge the .
groat South with this thing, but the few mis
erable tricksters from the cotton States—find
ing the majority of the party against them,
having been beaten at every point in argu
ment, held up to us the great bugbear of se
cession ; but they found that there were peo
ple in that Convention made of sterner stuff.
They were told to take whatever step they
thought proper, we would stand by the organ
ization, and those who were willing to risk a
traitor's doom Might do it. [Applause.]—
That in our section it was treason to talk
about disunion, and if they were willing to
endanger the Union, and to impair the Con
federacy, why, in the name of Heaven, let
them take the responsibilty. "What was done ?
The friends of Judge Douglas, .composed of
Northern and Southern men, who remained
.rqe to the Union, and true to the party, adop,
ted the Cincinnati plaform—the platform that
elected Mr. Buchanan—the platform that, in
185 G, carried us to victory. Why is it not
good enough to carry us to honor now ? Let
me call your attention to the fact that the
very men who seceded from this Convention
were members of the Convention that assem
bled at Cincinnati in 1856. Many of the
Pennsylvania delegation who voted with them
in favor of their secession movement were
delegates. at Cincinnati,' and voted' for, the
platform adopted- there, uttering no word of
dissent from its views, no protest aganist
Governor Bigler endorsed it there and before
the people. Where, then, were their objec
tions ?-
"Where was Rhoderiek then?
One blast from his burgle horn
Were worth a thousand men."
That platform is the platform adopted at
Charleston. Why should it be changed, and
why should the men'who carried Pennsylva
nia with it be asked to, abandon it now ?
It was sound Democratic national doctrine
then. I have vet to hear the reason it should
not be so considered yet. There may be a
statute of limitations in our party as to men,
but I know of none that applies to its eter
nal principles; and yet because this was done,
Mr. Bigler and his friends, who supported
this very platform in 1856, were active not
only in covertly countenancing secession, but
assisting the disunionists, for the retiring
men boldly proclaimed that for them the
Union was valueless, and thus it was that the
voice of the Democratic, people of our old
Commonwealth was stifled. Shall it contin.
ue to be so misrepresented? Will the people
longer submit to the imbeciles who seek to
use them for their' own selfish purposes ? I
trust not. The time to answer has come.—
Let it go up in such a shout as will teach
these men that the people are aroused. The
disunionists and disorganizers left the Con
vention, and in doing so left the party, and I
hope they will never return.
The sooner the great Democratic party get
rid of the fanatics of the South the better.—
[Applause.] Why, they say to us, what
right have you, you do not represent Demo
cratic States as we do ? I answered them by
asking what particular credit was due to a
Democrat in the South. You have no fight
to make, you have no opposition, and all
think alike, while we of the North are com
pelled to fight every inch of ground, to give
reasons for the faith that is in us, and more
than all, to submit to be misrepresented and
maligned for our devotion to the very men
who now charge us with being wanting in
faith. Let me ask them to come here to a
political battle, and we will show them what
it is to be a Democrat. [Applause] Do not
undertake to tell me that the Democratic peo
ple of the North have not been standing up
for Tour Southern institutions, and have not
buckled on their armor to do battle for your
constitutional rights. Do not tell me that
we are not constitutional Democrats. The
record is against it. History contradicts it.
My failing voice admonishes me to be done.
All the history of the Charleston Convention
cannot be said or written in a night. I wish
it could. Let me say to you, my friends, be
fore concluding., that there need be no alarm
about Douglas. The true men of the South,
the Union-loving constitutional Democrats
who compose a majority of the Southern peo
ple are for him and for the platform of the
Charleston Convention. Place• him before
the people as our standard-bearer, arid they
will rally to his flag' by thousands. [Ap
plause.] I have in my possession now, a
dozen letters from active prominent men of
the South, who have pledged their respective
States for Douglas if he is nominated. [Ap
plause.] And he will be nominated. T.Re
newed applause.] It is not possible that a
hundred and fifty-two men can be put down
nor intimidated by sixty disunionists. I tell
you that the weak-kneed party must go down.
The tricksters of the North, who have been
toadying to the miserable faction of disun
ionists, will learn that the day of reckoning
is near at hand. All I ask of my people is,
to say that, so far, I am right—that they en
dorse my action at Charlestion—and I will
steadily go on in the good fight. I believe
that I am battling not only for a statesman
equal to the ege we live in, and powerful to
grapple the great questions that are meeting
us every day, but for a principle that under
lies the very Government itself—nay, more,
the liberty of the citizen ; and believing this,
as I do, in common with my colleagues from
Pennsylvania it rat not to be expected, and
need not be, that we will stop half way. All
that can be fairly and honorably done will
be ; and,' Providence helping us, we will get
back to where we started from at Cincinnati.
It is said that the seceders will not go to
Baltimore. There is good reason for that,
for they will not be received there. The men
who seceded at Charleston will not be wanted
there, for Democrats will go in their places.
[Applause.]
Now, gentlemen, thanking you again for
the very handsome compliment you have paid
me, and apologizing for detaining you so
long, I beg leave to bid you, one and all,
good-night, proposing, before we part, that
we give three cheers for the Little Giant of
the Northwest.
The crowd heartily responded to this propo
sition ; and, after giving three hearty cheers
for Mr. Cassidy, dispersed at a late hour.
Douglas Meeting at Wilmington,
A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
friends of Judge Douglas was held at the
City Hall in Wilmington, on the evening of
the 10th inst. Mr. James Montgomery, edi
tor of the Delaware Inquirer, offered an ex
pressive series of resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted. They embraced the
following ;
Resolved, That we condemn the secession from the
Charleston Convention as an act unworthy of a true Dem
ocrat, and that we consider said secession the first step
towards the disunion of these States.
Resolved, That we consider the delegates from New
Castle county to the Charleston Convention to have for
feited their seats in that body, and that we take such
measures as the exigencies of the times demand to select
delegates in their places.
Resolved, That the recent attempt made at Charleston
to sectionalize the Democratic party meets with our hearty
condemnation ; that we cannot see iu the movement any
thing but an attempt at the disunion of the States and
demoralization of the Democracy.
Resolved, That it is the belief of this meeting that Ste
phen A. Douglas is the choice of the people of this coun
try; that a majority of all the votes in the Charleston
Convention have been cast for him, and that nothing but
a factious opposition, unprecedented in the history of
Democratic Conventions, has defeated his nomination.
INCREASE IN EIIIGRATION.-WO noticed re
cently the very large increase that has taken
place in the emigration from Ireland the pres
ent year. The New York Emigration Com
missioners report that during the last week
there arrived nt that port, by the Galway and
other lines, 5,277 persons belonging to this
class; and the Liverpool papers state that
the indications are that the emigration from
Ireland in 1860, will exceed even that, of tbo
great famine year.
