of General Grant, and we heartily endorse
every sentiment contained in his inaugural
address, and especially do hereby ratify and
approve the late amendment proposed .11
Congress to the Constitution of the United
States, and known as the fifteenth amend-
Merit. "
Resolved, That we have confidence that the
General . Administration will wisely and firm
ly,prOtect, the interests and dignity of the
nation in respect to our just claims against
Gieat'Britain, and that we endorse the ac
tion of the Senate in rejecting the Johnson-
Clarendon treaty, known as the Alabama
claims.
Resolved, That we, heartily sympathize
with the struggling peoples of all nations in
their efforts to attain universal freedom and
the invaluable rights of man. . - •• . •
Resolved, That wo confidently endorse the
Administration of General John W. Geary as
wise, economical and honest, and that it de
serves, as it has received, the approval of the
people of Pennsylvania, and we especially
commend his uniform efforts to restrain the
evils of special legislation.
Resolved, That in Hon. Henry W. Wil
liams, our candidate fur the Supreme Court,
we present a learned, pure, and patriotic jur
ist, who will adorn the high position to whhili
wo purpose to elect him.
Resolved, That we reiterate and affirm our
adherence to the doctrine of protection, es
proclaimed in the ninth resolutton of the
platform adopted at the State Convention of
March 7, 1866.
Resolved; That we endorse the ticket this
day 'nominated; and pledge to it our hearty
and cordial suppo'rt.
Resolved, That the Chairman of this con
vention is hereby authdrized to appoint a
chairman of•the State Central Committee`on

tral Committee shall consist during ,the com
ing campaign of the same number of dole
gatei from each county as, the last committee,
and they shall be appointed hytheSenatorial
and ,Representative districts, except
which shidl have eight members.
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.
Third. That the Democratic party of Penn

management of their financial affairs is im
peratively demanded.
Fifth. 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.
Eighth. Equal rights and protection fur
naturalized and native-born citizens at home
and abroad; the assertion of American na
tionality, which shall command the respect
, -
of foreign-Powers, and furnish ap example of
enctiiiragemont to people struggling for no
tional integrity, constitutional liberty, and
individual rights.'
Ninth. That the present internal 'revenue
and taxing system of the-General Govern
ment is grossly unjust, and means ought to
be at once adopted to cause , a modification
thereof.

CHARITY
When you meet with one suspected
Of some secret deed of shame,
And for this by all rejected
As a thing of evil fame,
Guard thine every look and action ;
Speak no word of heartless blame ;
For the slanderer's vile detraction
Yet may soil thy goodly name. -
When you meet with one pursuing
Ways the lost have wandered in,
Working out his own undoing ,
With his recklessness and din,
Think, if placed in his condition. •
Would a kind word be in vain
Or a look of cold suspicion
Win thee back to truth again ? ' •
There are spots that bear no flowers—
Not because the soil is bad,
But the summer's genial showers
Never make their bosom glad
,— teteer'have an net that's kindly,
Treated sometimes with disdain,
Than by judging others blindly,
Doom the innocent to pain.
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-

ed in to his rescue, could the act have
been any other than useless foolhardi•
ness ; And there worewealthy men
there, who went through the crowd
under the deepest eense of - emotion,
offering large Towards to whoever.
would rescue him. The telegraph had,
by this time, carried the news far and
wide; the afternomi" papere - in New
York on this day contained and the
afternoon trains from Buffalo and Ro

more to ,view the ,peril

gressed; but, although overYthing Was
done to hasten :it,. darkness..found it
unfinished; and the crowd unwillingly
dispersed for the night. 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 sweet hope must
have sustained him in tthat - trying
time, or the•morning would have found
him dead there upon the rock of his
dreadtid
'Daylight came; 4ild with it the ea
ger crowds hastened back 'to . vtireir'
points of TheTincoming;traihs
all that day brought more„and more
spectators, and before noon the bridge'
was literally crowded with them, leav
ing but a 'small spate'in -! the Cebtretor
the workmen with 'the ;raft; and on
either side, the bank :was lined--- , -nay,
packed—with spectators. „There were
thousands upon thousands, present, ,all
eager:, curious and, yet sympathetie.
Avery appeared tis'otf 'the day Wad,
still hopeful, eating and drinking what
was sent down,toldin, flaotioning , with
his bands and „arras, and watching all
that wati done (*the britlce and the
shore.'. "
• , The•CrisiS of the:excitement arriVod
when, about the middle of the-second
day, the second ,;raft •,was lattached'
from the bridge upon the hurrying
flood. Strong and willing hands held
the ropes, and it was cautiouSlyloW
ered until it almost touched the spot
where the castaway stood. With a
bound he -placed himself erbet!'dti"the
raft; and. then arose siicloa .shout 'of
rejoicing from the lipe!of ,that, multi
tude that it was heard even above the
roaring of the waters.
It was a short-lived joy. The ropes
were manned by_ all the hands that
could fin& phice;!and the raft'struggled
up a little way in the teeth of the rap
ids, and then a fin-ions volume of wa
ter broke over and upon it, washing it
from end to end, and hurling Avery
bodily into 'the rapiddl ;One faint,
desperate hope remained' to hiM : as
the irresistible current hurried him
down he might, by stout swimming,
make the shore of Chapin's Island,
some rods' below, and to the west of
him. It was a furious, terrible strug
gle for life;, and while, the• multitude
held their breath and looked on, it
seemed at first as though the man
might still save himself. Ho almost
reached the shore of the little island
but he never gained it. 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. He
yielded him Self to the fury of the rap

SINGULAR CAsE. 7 -IVe, have already
mentioned WO' report 'that a young
man named - William Powell suddenly
•became deaf and dumb at Bell's Sta
tion, Tennessee., The first report was
that be had been mimicipg a,denfAnd
dumb boy, and dm strange visitation
followed. He• tells a somewhat differ
ent story; howeVer, in a published let
ter, which...we :subjoirm,: It should be
added—and this explanation probably
removes,the ,case from the. realm.
,of
Mystery---that op,Sanda'y evening pre
vious, young Powell , in:attemptiug to
jump from a handcar, which was run
ning rapialY, was thrown, heavily to
the grotind. Ills severe fall;added to
the intensely hot weather the day' af
ter,,doubtless caused the affliction. un
der which, he labors. The follow,ipg
is his letter :
"The cause and effect 'of, this day's
work' with 'Me, July 12th, 1869. This
morning when I started to Galloway,
just to have : some fun, I -thought I
would ne..t f dumb to„the newsboys and
aliers. So I acted _till I reached Gal
idivay whim I got off and acted as I
eliould have done all day. About
twelve o'clock I got _some' crackers,
and ate them, and attended to the
business I went to attend to. About
three o'clock in the afternoon, while
waiting for the train to return' from
Bell's Station, my whole system be•
came' dull,.my head dizzy, my whole
body seemed lulled :into a kind of
dumbness, my hearing began to cease,
and finally I became senseless of 'any
sound at all.. My tongue becaine as if
it were asleep, like your hand has been".
Indeed my whole system was lulled to
a dizziness, and since that time I have
heard no sound and bieathod no word.
I am deaf and dumb.'

FAT MEN.—On-the 3.9 th• Ult., there
was a remarkable collection of fat men,
numbering one hundred arid forty,,Of
the .most "hefty'', ,ones of New Eng
land. This 'assemblage occurred. at
Gregory's Point, in the town of 'Nor,
walk, thirty-fiie - inilee ; east of New
York City. It Was a remarkable eight.
One handred and forty'men assembled
for a clam bike, none of whoni'Weiglx;
od less than tWo'hundred pounds, and
from that up to three, hundred arid_fifl
ty,eight pounds. The first six named
en the list had 'a total weight 'of nee
thousand'nine hundred and twentriwO
pounds, and an average weigh Col three'
hundred and twenty and one-eighth
pounds. • The total avoirdupois of the
one hundred and forty Men was tbirt3r
one thousand three.hundred and 'eigh
ty-five pounds, and an average of two
hundred and twenty-four pounds.---
John A.'P. Fisk, of New York,'Wlia
elected President of the Association,
he being the heaviest man in the IoV,
weighing three hundred and fifty-eight,
pounds. There was a regular feast,
and such eating as was never seen.—
Clams did-not go a-bogging for an eat,
or. For two hours the contest raged,
and the clams gave not out, nor did
the fatties give in until even their tinge
bulk was solid, and further room wag
none. Thirty bushels of oysters, forty;
seven bushels of clams, eight barrels of
sweet potatoes, seven barrels of white
potatoes, three hundred and, fifty lbs,
of blue fish and other fish were cooked
for this tremendouti meal and-make
note of it—sufficed.
On account orthe great heat of the
day the fOdt race and wrestling match
wore postponed until the next annual
meeting.
