The Democracy of Pennsylvania, in con vention met, do unanimously declare: . . . Fivst. That the Federal Government is lim ited to the grants contained in the Federal Constitution ; that the exercise of doubtful conititutiona powers is dangerous to the sta bility of the Government and to the safety of -the people; and the Democratic party •will never consent dint the State of Pennsylvania shall surrender her great right of local selt government. . . Second. That the attempted ratification of the proposed fifteenth amendment to the Fed eral Constitution by the Radical members of ,the last Legislature, and their refusal to sub mit .the same to_ayote of the people, was a deliberate breaeli„ of Weir official duty, and an otifrage upon mlery citizen of the State; and the resolution inaking such ratification should be promptly repettied,mnd thattinend meat submitted to the people, at the polls; for acceptance or rejection.

That - the movements now being made for the amelioration of the laboring man have our most cordial co-operation. 1=1=! Sixth. That the legislation of the late Re publican Congress outside of the Constitution; the disregard of the majority therein of the will of the people and the sanctity of the ballot-box, in the exclusion from their seats of Representatives clearly elected; the estab lishment of military government in States in the Union, and the overthrow- of all civil gov ernment therein, are acts of tyranny, and usurpation that tend directly to the destruc tion of- all republican 'government, and the creation of the worst forms of despotism. Seventh. That our soldiers and sailors who carried the flag of our country to victory must be gratefully remembered, and all guar antees given in their favor most faithfully carried into execution.

A Thrilling Incident at Niagara. , • In the Very centre of the seething, 'Whirling - cauldron of waters kriewn as "the' Aineritan Rapids, lying 'equidis tant between the American shore and the.islands, and Bath Island Bridge and the brink of the rock pro jects two or'threo feet above the wa ter. The eye rests upon it merely as upon a, speck in the midst of this angry flood; with every dash of the torrent pouring down from the plateau above •it - •halfl submerged, and sometimes wholly hidden from Eight. At .the time of this casualty a log, threo or four feet in length, had been jammed in' or intim , this., rock, and 'protruded from'it: The 'shot was' one that was in the.dailysight of hundreds, and in the early hours, of that memorable summer morning the first man who had occasion to cross the bridge was 'startled and horrified to see a human form standing erect, in the "midst of the ;raging, swirling flood, on this little point of rock, wildly waving his arms. He must have shouted, too,, but , his cries were di:owned in the uproar of the rapids. It'WasUesepli Avery, the sole survivoi. ()Utile unfortunate boat's crew. It was conjeutured .that the boat must have sped down to this point, unharmed by rocks or rapids, and' that,, striking here; Avery was thrown or sprang out, finding just room _enough for a perilous foothold, while the other two, with the boat, were - swept on over the cataract. ' • ,The,alarm , quickly spread. It is not difficult to draw, a crowd at Niagara— for the.excitement seekers of the world are there-Land in half an hour the hridge and 'adjactint shores were thronged with horrified , yet curious spectators. With them came some dozens of boatmen, laborers and oth ers, who comprehended at once that 'there Was a chance for rescue, and im mediately began to devise a plan. ' In the meantime the man had been tyc ogniied by some ono, and while the preparations were being made a large board was rudely lettered with the words, in German ' "We will save you !" and held up so that be could read it. He tossed his arms up and down several times, in token that he comprehended its meaning; and then the crowd await ed the result of the preparations, and watched the object of them with al most breathless, interest. It was truly frightful to see him there amid that howling waste, almost in the jaws of the mighty cataract, and apparently cut, oft from all human aid. But as the ,day wore on, and the poor fellow be came used to the situation, ho seemed to bear it with much composure. Sonic times, to change his position, he sat down upon the rock, and sometimes made gestures to the crowd, the mean ing of which could not often be under stood. His face, seen through a glass, looked eager, almost 'beyond the ex pression of human faces, •but it was hopeful, too. As noon approached the first at tempt was made for his rescue. "A large raft had been constructed of heavy plank, bound together cross wise, and this was to be Cowered down from the bridge, with strong ropes, to the castaway, when it was thought that he could be drawn up without great difficulty. The venture was a failure from the start. The rapids seized and whirled it away before the men at the ropes could check it; the ropes became entangled, the raft was carried far below the rock, and at last went helplessly over the falls. It was a bitter, bitter disappoint ment—as well to the sympathizing, ex pectant throng as to the imperilled man. But, nothing daunted, the stout hearts and ready hands immediately set about the making of another raft, while others were occupied in convey ing food and drink to poor Avery. This was easily done in tin cases, at tached to stout cords, which were floated down to him. The castaway ate his solitary meal there upon that inaccessible point of rock with keen relish, and thou stood up and bowed his thanks. Again and again the cheer lug words, "We will bavo you," were exhibited, and ho was encouraged by other short sentences in his native lan, gunge, which were in the same way painted in huge letters and held pp to him. The afternoon slowly wore on—the long, hot, Hatless summer afternoon at Niagara, usually devoted to idling over iced drinits in the shade of the hotel porches or parlors,but now cheer fully given pp to the assistance of, or sympathy for, a fellow being. There were hundreds in that crowd who, prompted by that spirit of American Chivalry which is never wanting among 90, would have pheerfull7 Flung- , , • • -. ~,, •.- ' ' ' \ of •• ... . ..,• - '-''. . - '..- ',.-.. ..

Th,e„ Omnis cient alone can tell how that poor for !ern' soul passed 'the dark, dreary hours that intervened before morning; sleepless from necessity—weary, lone ly,. with. the!wAters. raging like.. un chained boasts all around him, and the great abyss' of terror - yaWning almost at his feet.

Some said that the bush upon which he laid his band broke in his grasp,-others thought that his strengthleflehim when a ! fe*more strokes would have saved him.
