French, the great book roan, has arrived in pur.town, with the largest, most complete, and cheapest assortment of books ever offered to- our citizens. He will have auction sale every eve ning at Gould’s auction room, next duor to Hannon’s hotel. Go to the sales, all who want chtnp books.

It will be to the advantage of every person to go there before making purcha ses.' See advertisement in another column. , The Wheat Cnor.—During the past wfee'k we have had extensive opportunities of conversing with farmers from different sections, of this "county, and we are gratified to bo able to state that the.growing wheat crop makes a hotter ap pearance .than it lias done for many years at tho same iime'ln tho spring. The testimony is una imous that the prospect of a (all crop is excel lent. From the adjoining counties wo have similar reports. Trout Fishing.— Those fond of the sport — i and what surpasses the satisfaction of hooking and landing n plump nine-inch . speckled bcau iyl—are preparing for the troutmg season. — Already quite‘a number of anc ones have ibeen caught in our streams.- Death or Mr, i>. 11. Coovee.— Tho-laat Car lisle Herald informed us of the death of its proprietor; Mr. D. It, Coovee. At the.time ol his death, Mr. 0. was one of the Professors in the Irving Female College, at Meehanicsbnrg, anlnstitution' which has acquired an enviable character, owing in-a great measure to his in dastry and energy. Ho was a gontleman oi high moral, character, a- ripe scholar, with a bright future '.before -him.- H 6 has,' however, like thousands of other young -men, fallen a victim to that insidious disease, consumption— a disease that is-numboring its thousands every month, and . which the skill of the physician fails to baffle. Wo sincerely sympathise with his numerous relatives and friends, in their sad -bereavement. Mr. C.-was aged 26--years,'and wairthe son-in-law of Mr.' Portee, editor of the Herald, ' AimiiESS of ire State Committee.— ln to days Volunteer we publish the first Address is sued by the Democratic Committee to the Peo pie of Fcnrisylrania. It is a well written and, forcible document, worthy the careful perusal of every citizen. The subject-upon which it treats—the attempt io divide the Democratic party of the Commonwealth by means of an ir regular End-disorganizing State Convention—is one of no little interest to-the whole country.— Whatever’ disguises this movement may as sume, it can have but one object, and that an evil one. This the -Committee understand ful ly, and treat accordingly. It is gratifying to See the Committed • thus active in the cause of Democracy, and good service may be expected from it duririg the pending contest. Lecture op Con. Forney.—The lecture de livered in Emory Chapel, in this place, on Tues day evening, by Col. John W. Fobnet. editor of'the Press, afforded- a rich intellectual treat to those present. His'subject tras .American Statesmen, and for an hour and a half he enter tained his hearers with a glowing description of the life and character of some of the illustrious dead*.-' Ue could but refer to few of them, and pf-the first “ great men” of our .country, he spoke of Washington, Penn, Franklin, Jeffer son! the elder’Adams* and Hamilton. He next refeted to- the leading statesmen who succeeded the first-r-Jaokson, Clay, Webster, Benton, Ohlhoun. Ho saittlhe leading statesmen of the I generation before the present had all been called to their final account* except two—Buchanan and Cass.- -He also- referred, briefly, to a num ber of other-statesmen, now dead, who had Wen distinguished in their day and generation —Hancock, Madison, Monroe, R'andolf. Henry, Jv'Q! "Adams, Silas Wright, and others. But, we* will not attempt to give, even a, sketch ol the eloquent address. It was. indeed, a pro duction of rare ability, and was delivered, (not withstanding the hoarseness of the apeaker;) in an easy and graceful style. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the house, we were pleased to see, was well filled. The Appropriation of $2OO to each of the surviving officers and privates of th’e two Pennsylvania Regiments of. Volunteers that served in the war with- Mexico, which had been stricken out of the General Appropriation bill by the Finance Committee of the Senate, was reinserted in (he bill before its passage by that body. Both branches of the Legislature having tbits agreed to this appropriation, it cannot bo diMntbed-by the action of the Committee, 61 Conference to whom the bill baa been referred. K7“Onr Maryland' exchanges generally speak of a promising wheat crop,- Tab State Campaign. The firao is drawing nigh when Tho Democra cy should bilckle bn their armor and prepare fqr.pplitical battlp. They need, in order to in sure success, to.pfescnt a solid dud fearless front, and meet the exigencies with a fixed determi nation of coming out of tho Campaign conquer or. This can he accomplished by each man performing his part of the labor. Every jncm- Sef of the Democratic parly should feel it his duty to engage in tho work, and use all his ef forts to maintain and.cherish the principles of his party. Tho coming contest is an important one, and there should bo no shrinking from dU- tv, as great consequences rest upon the result of this election, and the party must exhibit , by" fearlbssNind honest actions that they are able and willing to meet the issues of the day and decide them In accordance With tile programme laid down at tho late Democratic Slate Conven- ■\Ve clip from tho Pennsylvanian the follow suits our fancy pretty well j and wo do'rlot hesitate in saying that it will meet tho approbation of our readers : “ Wo have a State Ticket which has extorted compliments even from the opposition. Rich ardson L. Wright has served the-people of this city and county fur a number of years in a leg islative capacity, and won universal approba tion for the uprightness of his actions, and the honesty'of his motives, while the renominalion of Mr. Rowe, the present efficient Surveyor General, will add strength to the ticket in. all parts of the State. The selection of these per sons by the Convention is a proof that the Del egates were hones:, just and proper men,, who in their choice of candidates looked .to the stan ding and fitness of the nominees to fulfil the duties incumbent upon them if. elected, as well as thoir standing as Democrats and party men. The party demanded an unexceptionable ticket. They claimed as a fight-that the Democracy should not be called upon to vote for candidates upon, whose character .there rested a single taint of suspicion. Tf the battle is to: be a tierce one, the rank .and file asked that their leaders should be worthy of the post assigned them, and competent to lead in the hour ot dif ficulty and danger. Such men have been selec ted, and so far as the State ticket is concerned, the Democracy of Pennsylvania was never in a bettor condition for an animated and successful contest. . The parly platform is also entirely accepta bio,to the Democracy. We. have not heard a single Democrat object to the action of the State Convention upon. the Resolutions, while the Democratic press of the Commonwealth is en thusiastic and exultant upon this subject. ■ Tn? Resolutions embrace all those questions which the Convention was called upon to notice, and they are treated in a manner well calculated to convince the mass of the pariy of their correct ness, and enlist them in their defence. Upon the Cuba question, the settlement of the lanß controversy, and nU the other issues touched, the expressions of parly opinion ore eminently sound and National, while at the same tune they have the ring.of the home-Penns3 , lvama. metal. l'hc}V demonstrate the Tact that the parly in the old Keystone Slate can be true to itself, and at the same Lime' in full fellowship with the sound’party men in every other section of the Union. This was the patriotic feeling which animatcdnhe Delegates to* the latc^ Con vention at r Harrisburg, this the basis of that action which made the delegates a unit upon all the important resolutions adopted byjliat body, and set forth as the voice of the party in 'this Goinmomycolih. While, therefore, the. i candidates selected are such as to command [ the respect and challenge the support of all I those, who have the interests of the Slate at 1 heart,.the resolutions tire of such a character as 1 will consolidate all true Democrats into body, and thus make their action of great pow* er when directed against the common.enemy. . From the facts stated it is apparent that the Democracy are in juslsuch a,condition as de* mands a bold, unyielding fight. The Conven tion when called upon did not hesitate to marie out the line between the true friends of the par ty, and those who form motives of personal am bition, or more sordid objects have deserted the old party banner to scrvc’under that of the Op position. The Democracy would not endorse the Governor—arid.his Attorney General was openly denounced—because both those officials have been noloriousl}'’ unfaithful to the party and its principles. This was decided action, but it was demanded by the circumstances sur rounding‘the party at this lime, and necessary to insure’the discipline of the Democracy and thus til them to encounter the allied forces wiih a certainty of'success. The path marked out by .the Convention must be followed by the party in conducting the t campaign. There must be no shrinking from duly. Whatever is necessary to'bcdonc, must be done - promptly. The lines of party action mast be traced Wiih a clear eye and steady hand.' -We have ca'tft pfi much of the useless matter which have gafhtir ed around the party'and impedtd its progress', and if it be necessary to free U from still more, the proper, persons must not omit the perform ance of this important, duty. We need a live part}', a united, harmonious Democracy, intent upon the same great objects and inspired’ by a common bond of devoiion and patriotism. This can be reached only by each man doing his part, of the work as the delegates to the State Con vention performed theirs. "With the past opin ions of honest, faithful we have no thing to do. If they have kept within the ty, their right of opinion and expression is un denied/ This is what the Slate Convention proclaimed, and its voice must constitute the basis,of all subsequent party action. Tnlo-the future, which.is filled with the questions offici ally promulgated from the Stale Convention, lies the path of the Pennsylvania Democracy.- Great consequences hang upon the rcsuU of the coming State campaign, and the party must show by bold, frank deeds that they are com petent to meet the issues and decide .them in ac cordance whh the programme laid down by tnc State Convention. Eel us hate a bo.d. deci ded, vigorous campaign, and the victoiy is Good Will Independent, No. I.— A slated meeting of ibis Fire Company will be held in lheir hall this owning. Thursday, at half past 7 o’clock. Election of officers and other boat* ness of Importance will be. transacted. • By.or der of 3. IE Gould, Secretary.

WELSH. QrEEncasti.e, March 28.1859. Gentlemen -I have the honor to acknowl edge the receipt of your communication of the 17lh inst., informing mo, officially, of my nom ination for the office of Surveyor General, by llie late Democratic State Convention. The honor and tho confidence thus conferred and expressed by a Convention of tho Democra cy of Pennsylvania, together with the,present peculiar political aspect of our Commonwealth and Nation, would all constrain me, even were I differently disposed, to-accept the nomination so unanimously tendered. ■.ln thus accepting, I only deem it necessary to stale 1 that 1 regard the issue raised upon the application of Kansas for admission under the Lecompton Constitution as settled and entirely dead. . That disposed of, the doctrine of Popu lar Sovereignty' still remains important and pro* minent in the politics of our country. 1 want ho belter elementary principle of self-govern ment than that contained in the Kansas-Nebras ka act, that the people of a Territory, like the people of a State, should be permitted to decide for themselves upon the question of the exis tence of Slavery within their own borders, sub ject only to the Constitution of the United States. . I have thought it well to say this much-upon the leading question in, the politicsof the day, in order that there may be no misapprehension pn the part of any. Yours, very respectfully, .JOHN ROWE.

The rahks.of the Army are-now not only full tor the first time in twen ty years, but there is a considerable surplus of recruits from which to-fill future vacancies'.— The unusual prosperity of the recruiting busi ness may be attributed partly to the depressing cfieol of the financial revulsion, but mainly to tho increase ot the soldier’s pay about four years ago, up to the decently remunerative standard of eleven dollars per month, for foot, and twelve dollars lor cavalry service. . : Fugitive Siate Case. —A colored man named Daniel Webster, was arrested at Harrisburg, on Saturday week last, on a charge of being a fu gitive slave, Tho arrest was made in tho mar ket place, by XT. S'. Deputy Marshal Jenkins, and tho prisoner was taken to Philadelphia for a hearing before U. S. Commissioner Long, slreth. The negro is claimed as the property of Mrs.’Simpson, of Athensville, Ya., and it is alleged that be osoaped from servitude six years ago. Webster asserts that he is a free man, born In Pennsylvania, and he* lived, at Harris burg over nine; years. Tho case Was decided .on Wednesday, and terminated in the discharge of the alleged fugitive, the evidence being-in sufficient, in tho opinion of the Commissioner, to identity the man ns Mrs. Simpson’s escaped slave. ' This decision was quite unexpected, and occasioned great joy among tho colored popula tion of Philadelphia. , . • CC7“In the House of Representatives, on,Sat urday, the bill to divorce Mrs. Emily L.

In pursuance of Hie published call of tbe Chairman, there was a meeting of the Dcmoora. tic State Central Committee, at the Jtetchahts’ Hotel, in Philadelphia, on the Bth inst., Rohl.

Petterfnan o 1 Pittsburg, and John Hodgson of Chester, and the selection of the necessary Sub-Committees. After some time spent In considering the pre sent aspect of the campaign, and .the disorgan izing movement of certain disappointed and reckless politicians, for a Convention to bo hold at Harrisburg, bn the 18th inst.', the following Address .was unanimousiy’adopted, and ordered to be sighed by tho Chairman, on behalf of the Committee, and published in (he Democratic journals of the State; ; - ’>* • Address. of Pennsylvania : It is known to yon all that the Democracy of tho State recently assembled in convention at under circumstances of the greatest importance. The convention met with a full attendance of delegates, transacted its import ant busihess with- despatch and with'dignity, to the chrtfefln and consternation of our enemies, and the'Cordial satisfaction of on? Xriends, aim concluded its.harmonlous deliberations with] the assured, concurrence in the wisdom and -.effici encyoffts proceedings, of tho Democratic press and constituencies in every.pait ot the Common- tlvery intelligent and honest Democrat of Pennsylvania has had reason tojegret and. deprecate tho stern exigencies of an issue—ac tually originated years ago—that produced, for a time and to a'certain extent, ,9 difference ol opinion among friends, contributing am ong other causes to out* temporary defeat in this State, and tho consequent ephemeral popular supremacy of the ttvo combined opposition factions, now eookirig to obtain Dispossession of the Govern ernment, not by Virtue of any plan of sound I .statesmanship, or by maintaining correct pnnci- I pies, but by. moans of tho clamorous assaults 01 more numbers attracted together by lawless ex-, citements, and by mercenary calculations of power and plunder. It was, therefore, a subject for general congratulation, that the convention was enabled in a spirit of calm deliberation and mutual explanation on points of expediency, without tlio-leaat abandonment of principle by any one, to. adopt a platform and course of ac tion so entirely acceptable to the true Democra cy in every section of the State. -In conformi ty with these sentiments of renewed confrater nity of feeling and objects,.the convention rc solvedj with one voice,, that the once disturbing Kansas question, now rapidly disappearing by tho peaceful appliance of legal solution, should bo treated in a party sense, as settled and past. No candid man can or will deny that the entire proceedings of the body, indicate an earnest who were'engaged in framing them, to harmonize the party, and to compact and energize its forces on an honorable and ra-' tional adjustment of the only the un " wise, unnecessar}' and unprofitablo'obtrusion- pf which the Democratic organization .might have been Impaired, and its future efficiency preju diciaily.affected.. The convention cdngistcd of delogatea accredited from every county in the State. Those delegates, among whose names may be recognized an nnnsual proportion ol the ablest, most experienced and faithful. Readers of the Democratic host, were all appointed by and | presented proper credentials respec- j tivp county authorities. Not a suspicion, has been or can be raised respecting the regularity of each County Convention or County Meeting, thus participating through their several repre sentatives in the State convention; nor has any one thought of questioning the absolute regula rity under the rules and usages of.,tl£o party, of •the -Statb convention itself, in- every 1 of ita'xnigih, constitution.andconduct.: »Thej body'aa you perceive, was thus perfect as a par ty organ, consisting of , one hundred and thirty three members, bnq for each Senatorial.and Le gislative District, and each representing ado fined number of vofers free to act and clhtp§o for themselves, In the uncontrolled expression of all’shades of opinion.- The resolutions re ported: by the committee, the fairly appointed organ Pf the convention, were passed without a single dissenting voic6 3 and' we have not since heard a murmur of disapproval in relation to them, uttered by a single delegate who sat in the convention. Richardson L. Wright, ,the nominee for tho ©dice of Auditor General of the State, and John Rowe, the nominee fof the office of Surveyor General of the State, wore chosen with entire and striking unanimity,, one of them having been always regarded as a Le coraptbn and the. other as an anti-Lecompton democrat. In fine, we can aver with actual, truth, that there was not one vote taken by the convention on any question whatever, having tho remotest reference to the subject, fro™ which it does not unequivocally appear; that tne whole Kansus-issue was regarded as fully enae and happily taken out of the way* ' ~ „ But since tho adjournment of the oon^ e "A™j’ under tho inspiring auspices we have dci c > a state of circumstances has arisen in con with which it has been deemed a prudonlialil not necessary measure, to call together the State Central Committed, with, a prompts souie what unusual, and at no small meonvemtnee to some of its members. TVo are quite s ™ e no instance can bo shown in the . of the history of the Democratic party in sylvania or elsewhere, in which a iec * t 1 ® j tompt.liowevor feeble, has been OP,™’ 5 ' by persons profdssing to be Democrats, to di organize 'and destroy thoir party by advising, instigating and engaging-id a plan of resistance to the dels of a convention, while- incapable ol donyhigSts regularity or validity m any respect whatever. But so it is, that a few corrupt and I designing men, who there is every ground for believing have long ago contracted with the Op positionjto raid the-Democratic party, if their selfish intrigues eim accomplish it, have seized upon a'iretext by which they trust to- be able to defeat dm- excellent ticket, by imposing thoir disloyal] views on all unreflecting Democrats they may bo able to Approach, and who may be unfortunately ignorant of tho scope and bearing of thoir Contemplated operations. And what is their shimeless pretext for this fresh exhibition of treacherous disaffection? It so happened that a member of the convention, acting no doubt lipder what he conceived to ho his duty, after the convention had unanimously, disposed of the Resolutions agreed on' in Committeivofy fared of]lds own volition and upon his individual responsibility, a resolution that it adopted would have, hound the convention, and every.member presentjand also, by direct implication, thoDe mocratljs party of the State, by an endorsement in genetaf terms of wHat has been called the “ State Policy” of thopresent Executive. Now, notwithstanding the facts already stated, and flie ftirflier fact perfectly conclusive, as it must be, on (he question of tBo motives of the con vention that a majorilTj of the ihiriy-seven rotes recorded in/favor of this resolution consisted of those formerly Icuoutn as Decompton Democrats, it is falsely and impudently assumed: as a snffl. olont.justiflcalion for thoir indefensible beha vior, tbail a negative vote thus- forced upon the convention' against its wishes and its evident policy of silence, shallnot only bo considered a simpW refusal to endorse the so-called “State Policy” of Governor Packer, but shall bp con strued by some strange calculation unknown to commdn sense, into an insulting renewal of the defunct Lecompton and ant! Lccompton diffi culty. 6ut tlils is utterly absurd, for two plain seasons, because, first, as the vote on tho reso lutions constituting tho embodied sentiments ol the convention clearly shows, there was not a delegate, whether ohpo Lecompton or other wise, who was not for them; and secondly, be cause not only tho resolutions, but the whole proceedings, Indicate a full accordance between all the delegates in convention, forget ting past differences and preferring fo i,e-estab llsh thoir old cordial relations, with a certain victory before them, rather than to become by senseless feuds, tho wretched victim pf .their hereditary enemy. Nevertheless two or throe political desperadoes, tolerated by few and re spooled by none, are inflamed with hopes by encouraging disorganization among us, and al ready glont In Imagination over tho prostrate ensigns of our noble old party, while counting in thftie-iiyearns ** tho thirty, pieceo of silver” to b 0 paid by those who have purchased their too willing degradation to use and then to>dcspiao them. Accordingly these men, recently voting and working, as they persistently did, against the candidates of the Democracy, and in favor of those Of our unprincipled opponents, and thus basely assisting to inliict.tho deepest inju ries upon us, have undertaken by a mean, dis honest and cowardly profession of Democratic opinions, in dehanco of every principle Of honor aiid every hitherto sacred rule, of party disci blino, to involve in their indecent and aisboD orablo plans and petty fortunes, the characters of such respectable Democrats as, beguiled by their misrepresentations,.they may bo able to nevsuado to meet them at Harrisburg on the 18th of April inst.. to aid them in consummating tUo disreputable business to which they hove sold themselves,'while ostensibly to “vindicate the •‘Slate policy” of Gov. IV.' F. Packer. ■ . But let us inquire briefly and dispassionately what shape these disorganizing proceedings i» likely to assume ns a practical idea; "hat do the bogus men propose to do when they meet at Harrisburg in their quasi Convention ? Each and every person is conxtd and begged to go Hiere, who may like to attend on the occasion either for the business or the fun of the. thing. Gan such self-constituted delegates pretend to be able to show any constituencies to whom they are responsible, or by whom their acts may be popularly reflected, and by which their extraordinary assumptions can only he relieved from contempt. Might not a gathering,"of Know- Nothing- ; Blnpk- Republican- Fusionists just as well meet‘together,, and' call 'themselves a under pretext of ••vindicating’’Governor Packer’s ‘‘Slate poli cy,” ahd be entitled to cqunl consideration ? There dan be, we submit, no doubt of this. Besides, in-thp>bsence of, certificates "of elec tion, usually presented.by those claiming mem bership in a party convention, or of some other process of ascertaining the political character and antecedents of the general company, how shall any deluded, honest man, perchance really desirous of vindicating Governor . Packer’s “State policy,” as a Democrat, and not propo sing to identify himself with the Opposition, feel even tolerably safe in venturing into so per ilous a place ? May wc not also be permitted to know what are the principles to bedisplayed by tills anomalous movement? Are they more or less, do they agree or differ with those held by the National Democracy ? Is the intention of the movement confined to tile promotion of mere personal, factious ideas, or can it boast of any principles or policy looking to the Itonor and tlie true interests of the country.? If it bo denied that this meeting, sought to be convened at Harrisburg, be intended to organize a dis tinct faction by which to undermine, if possi ble, and to weaken the Democracy, what, then, is it, that the managers' think ,to do? Is it simply their object to adopt a siring of resolves “vindicating” Governor Packer’s “Stale poli cy,” and then fo adjourn sine die ? With a body of self appointed delegates, without ere-’ dcntials Or Certificates, and of every variety of political antecedents, what will such a ‘-Demo cratic” endorsement he worth to the State poli cy of Governor Packer I lf not litis, or if more than this, is it. their purpose to nominate a ticket separate and destinct from that, put forth by the Democratic State Convention, and to rttn it on the principle of a popular “vindication” qf Governor Packer's “Slate policy ?” And if such be their .expectation, will any trite friend of Governor Packer consent to it? or what Democrat who enjoys the confidence ; and re spect of his associates, with whom ho has la bored shoulder )o shoulder lor so! many years, in so many glorious contests, is-ready,.in fur* iherance of the personal.malice or ambition of unworthy malcontents, to lend htmsell, indi rectly, to the Opposition, on the terms of en deavoring to defeat at the polls a perfectly un exceptionable Democratic ticket, in order that the nominees of the Opposition may be elected, no matter who they may be? Or are bogus operators after ‘'vindicating” to the best of their ability. Governor Packer’s “Stale policy” Innominate the ticket of the Democracy .?; This would'be really a fatah, and would overwhelm the poor, beggardly concern, in tire broadest and most pitiful ridicule. , . ’ Be assured. fellow-Democrhls, that Ibis “Bo gus Convention” has been concocted entirely outside oj the pretext on which it is pretended’ to be based. It is an audacious cflort, on the part of certain schemers to use Governor. Pack er and his friends, for'their secret objects. No (rue friend, wonid desire to place him in.soon , a position. One of the main objects of these plotters of mischief is, to distract us, and to defeat our ticket in the coming election, hot I tie immediate step is by means of this specious'in vention of an indiscriminate mass meting, to transfer every Democrat who ritay be weak enough to yield to their wicked professions, and to take part in it, body and soul, with themselves, to Hie ranks of the Opposition. And wc pray you, who may be disposed to lis ten to their representations, to be warned in time of their destructive machinations, and to flee their approaches as yon would the poison or sliltetto of.the assassin. ’Democrats of Pennsylvania, With energetic preparation and with true hearts, WC itave vic tory within our grasp. Our lines broken, not by the enemy, who bad not the strength to do it, but by ourselves, have been re-established; Our veteran legions, never yet beaten on an equal field, have been filled up with fresh levies —the old banners are being advanced, and we hear the steady tramp of a conquering army, and behold those flying hordes whose robber watchword is not patriotism or Itonor, nor. the power and prosperity of the nation, but private booty; the oppression of classes, and lawless agitation against Governments and Conslilu lions. The thue has gone by for small things and small men. We have something more se rious to engage our. attention end oiir cfforls than the miserable trade carried on by base po liticians, Who.are always in the habit of making their personal disappointments, the test of the true value of principles or party; The Consti tution —the Union —our free institutions —our prosperity—the security of property—our liber ties —are all oast in the balance of a few years of political history. Should Pennsylvania, the hitherto great High Pricsles of Peace and Law abiding conservation, veil her glorious counte nance in sorrow, and surrender her trust and her person in the sectional Moloch, all is indeed lost! Rally, then-“let all good men rally un der the broad and gldrtons flag of the Democra tic Convention. Its plalfoi mis thcbffroial pro clamation of principles and measures by the Democracy of Pennsylvania. The candidates nominated by the Convention arc upright, in telligent and able men,.without a slain on their reputation. Is it possible that you can be pre vailed'upon to desert it, and to how down be fore the double-faced idol of Know-Nothing Black Republican devotion—a thing you other wise despise—because it may please certain vain apostates to throw a cover over its deles-, table features? No man who respects himself will be guilty of such moral and mental obli quity. Stand fast with the old Democracy, and participate in our approaching tritimphs ; for as certain ns our country survives, we also shall rise In the majesty, of a just cause.— Should yon triumph with os, you will stand in the front rank with the victors; but aid the Opposition to compass their ends, and if no worse come of it, your part of the rejoicing and profit will be,, to march in the rear of a ‘fusion’ procession, with tho blush of shame upon your faces, hated and despised by your mongrel as sociates. EGBERT TYLER. Chairman. Connecticut Election—-The Bcpubl'can State Ticket has been elected in Connecticut by a reduced majority. Win. A. Buckingham, ib fHe Governor elect. The four 1 Republican' candidates for Congress are also elected', and the Legislature stands very ihiich asUdidlast year. . .

Braylon in the Second., Four Criminals Executed at Bal timore. *__ ' The four criminals, Gambrill, Ciqp,Corrle and Cyphua, condemned to death for various murders,'were executed last Friday at Baltir more, in the prcaence of, it ia spid, 60,000 per* i sons, assembled on the hill which overlooks tho jail. It will be recollected that Gambrill wna charged with shooting officer Benton While the latter had a prisoner in custody. ' Subsequently officer Higdon,testified against Gambrill, audit Was* upon his evidence mainly that InMyaa con victed; After leaving’the Court House and reaching his home Higdon was shot dead while in the midst of his family. Crop was convic ted of firing the fatal shot, and Conic of being an accessory. All except Cyphua, the negro, belonged to the rowdy clubs of Baltimore, Plug Cgltcs and similar associations of idle young men —criminals at night. The relatives of the condemned visited them oa Thursday, for the last timej and upon the sacred privacy of their last interview upon, earth" no' others desired to intrude. At 2.P. M., Win. P. Preston, Esq., counsel of Peter Corrie, visited his cell. On entering; Peter, who was engaged in his devotions, and surrounded by Ws relations —brothers, sisters and friends —sprang forward and affectionately embraced his coun sel. His first ejaculation was, “Oh ! Mr. Pres ton, lam very glad tosceyou. lam prepared, sir; but before I die, 1 wish 10 express to you my thanks for your exertions in my behalf. OU, sir, do you not think I deserve io be for given I have 1 ever been in heart, a murderer ?" Mr.- Preston .paused, and in the midst of •breathless silence said: “I have known you from a small boy ; I kn’ow your father, and 1 know your mother: I know all your family ; and I feel deeply for their ailliciiou and your fate. 1 have defended you, amt I have defended you upon principle. In my judgment you are not a murderer. To-morrow you must die; die an ignominious death.; may God have mercy on you. I hare come to bid you farewell.” Oorrie replied—" Sir, I never conspired or con sented to take the life of Eigdon ; he was a stranger to me; I had- no malice against him whatever ; my mistake was ihercsultof drunk en excitement; I was drawn inter it; others pushed us on; I hope God will forgite us ; Will furgitte all. Sir, J have asked for pardatl, and through the blessed influence Of religion I hope 1 may be pardoned, hi the death of the unfortunate roan, I had nothing to- gain : I ne ver consented to his death, never; but, sit, per haps it is better I should die. My agony is that my kind mother and sisters should suffer on my account. May God comfort them.” The prisoner, wept bitterly, and all '.within the cull joined in his grief. Mr. Preston responded,‘•Peter,.! must hid ,you farewell—at this time to morrow your spi rit shall have Ifed to the world of which we know so little. May God, in his infinite mercy, par donyour ollences in this world. I again say, Ido not think you lire a murderer. Carry with you to-the place of execution my expressed opinion tl%it you are the victim ul that bewil dering excitement 100 often produced by intox ication. The kindness and tenderness of your heart I have never doubted. May God pardon you, and give consolation to your unhappy wo j thcr and family. In this Wofld we shah never meet again—farewell The counsel again embraced his diem, and, amidst .the audible sobs of all present; took his final, adieu. It was said on Thursday night that Gam brill, after receiving notice of the misKccessful result of the visit of his friends to . the Gover nor, at Annapolis, yesterday', was much - affec ted, 'and that Ins physical system was entirely prostrated. Fkiday, April B.—This morning, at fiif early hour, the crowd began to assemble around the prison.
