A few harmless hut venomous hlnok snakes—those creatures- who have worked themselves into' the belief that the negro is the ocjual, if not the superior, of the white man—attempted to annoy the meeting by protruding their forked tongues, but the brandishing of afew Democratic “ huge paws” had the effect to drive (hem to their holes.— The meeting adjourned with three hearty ‘pheei's fm-;t/i,ij.

'ln Philadelphia, we no tice, a number of persons have died from the effects of the heat: On Salurday and ■Sunday last the Thermometer here in Carlisle, reach ed 94° in the shade. On Monday and Tues day it reached 95°. Persons cannot bo too, carelul during this sweltering weather. 'Ominous.- —We notice that the Republican papers in this State whose editoro are in debted to and in the immediate interest of the Lincoln administration, say nothing about the nomination of Curtin, nor havt thoy placed his name at the head of their ■cilumns. Some of them are threatening to bring out ft third candidate. The Draft. —The,draft commenced in this borough for this Congressional District, <n Friday morning last. The lottery tickets ■were placed in the b >x by the enrolling offi oers, Messrs Henderson, M’lntire and Dr. 'Jloi.lin. , A citiien was blindfolded, the box and the drawing proceeded with, quietly and in good order. The work com menced with York county, but after the borough of York and one or two townships had been drawn, an error of some kind was discovered, and the business of the-draft sus pended. It was again resumed yesterday (Wednesday.) Fur this county it commen ces about Saturday. Thanksgiving Day. —Thursday last, be ing the day sot apart ns a day of Thanksgiv ing and Prayer, by the President of the Uni ted States, was very generally observed by our citizens. The stores, shops, offices, &c., were closed, and business of all kinds sus pended. Services were'held in two ol the churches, viz—the English Luthern and the First Methodist. In the first, the regular pastor, Mr Fby, preached a very entertain ing, appropriate and chaste sermon; in the second Prof. Johnson of Dickiusoh Ccdlege, delivered the usual Abolition speech, which, as we learn, was replete with erroneous state ments and conclusions. These Thanksgiving days appointed by the President have to us appeared right and proper, and we have heretofore advised all to observe them. But now that it is appa rent to nil that these occasions are used by the enemies of the law and the Constitution to ventilate their dogmas, no attention should hereafter be paid them by those who are in favor of “ the Constitution ns it is and the Union ns it was.” C 7” The attack on Fort Sumter was to oe nr on th« Bth inst, ABOLITION STATE CONVENTION ITPITTSBIIBO. Btnoiuinalion -of Governor Cnrtln, s This body of sleek and well fed politician* assembled nt Pittsburg, on theSth inst. The nuiri er in attondanco, we see it stated, was quite largo, owing to the fierce fight that had been got Up against Quv. Cubtin by the par ticular friends of the " powurs-tliat-be.”- John Covode. 'us corrupt a man ns the State contains, was the favorite candidate of the Washington administration. Long before a ballot was had, however, this political trim : mer, finding ho could not make the nomina tion, sent a letter to the Convention declining ; to bo considered a candidate, and reoom j mended the selection of “ a new man.” The Convention paid no attention to his sugges tion, and the fight waxed warm between the friends and enemies ot theGovornor. During the discussion Cixbtin was denounoed in lan guage of terrible severity, and stigmatized as tv corrupt, profligate, imbecile, whose friends were not the friends of ‘‘ old Abe” and the paragons who compose his truckling cabinet. From the proceedings, as we find them re corded in the Abolition papers, wo select the following particulars: “ Hon. W. McKennas, of Washington, of fered the following resolution : n Whereas, A.n antagonism, at once deplora ble and bitter, has sprung up between the triends of the two leading candidates, both of whom have rendered conspicuous services to the country-; And whereas. The existence of this feeling will itnpair the efficiency of either os a candn date, and endanger‘the success, not only of the Gubernatorial nomination, but of the Judicial atid Legislative also; therefore, Jte'sdlved, That the sense of this Convention' is, that the best interests of the country and of the Union party of the State require the nomination of unacceptable candidale, whose removal from the recent disturbing causes will give greater promise of a cordial, united and successful support;-a duly at all times imperative, but doubly so at the present cri sis, which demands ul every good citizen the surrender of every local feeling or prOpossesr sibn when required for the public good.” The resolutions were defeated. Yeas 47! (friends of the .National administration) nays 84 (Curtin men.) " The Convention voted to take up nom nations, KiyciT Mri Campbell then nominated Governor Curtin (amid applause and hisses), when the Chairman said he must enforce order among outsiders. ‘ Mr. Thomas Marshall, of Allegheny, asked by what authority Curtin’s name was used, as he had before him a solemn pledge of hisl that ho would not be a candidate.” Several other gentlemen were placed in hom inotion. The prooeedings eontinued thus : “ Mr. Campbell said it was not necessary, to ask whether he consented or not, but he would say that he knew from Governor Cur tin, that he would, stump the State froni Delaware to Lake Erie,-it nominated. Mr. 'Marshall said the Old Guard of Al-'. legheny, who could-smothcr -Lancaster in her majorities, was instructed against Curtin. The resolution of* Mr. McKbnnan was again brought up. Mr. Mann op posed-lts being again brought un. Mr. Vincent, of Erie, opposed it as impo- Mr. Fuller, ofFayetle, said there was good cause lor the resolution, as it was douhtiul about electing Curtin. -He was for a new man. lie ■ believed Curtin had. by many acts, rendered himself obnoxious to- loyal, honest llepmjnoans.r A drunken man, who had made his way into the centre of the hall, got up and said there was not a word of truth, in the state- 1 .merit; that Curtin was a good mao. Order was finally obtained by,putting out several from inside the bar. Hon. D. Barclay, of Armstrong, argued for a new man ns the only way to succeed, and after paying a handsome tribute to Phil adelphia, offered the name of Henry D. Moore, of Philadelphia, ns a man whom all know. He offered tills as an olive h-aiich'of peace. We could not afford to lose the eight thousand .majority of Allegheny.. .No man hud a right to stand ju the way of the success; of the party. - , , . | ■Mr.- Laneon, of Bradford, said the prefer-' 1 enee of-the people .most be respected in this country. Tie was for Curtin. (Applause, and liissea in tlio gallery.) . | Mr: Lawrence regretted those, manifesta tions of feeling, and said no man would go lurtber or make more sacrifices than himself.. Ho had helped to elect Curtin,, and h-ad-etoodl by-him. But he was nut the choice of the! yeomanry of bis comity, and there would hej trouble in giving him n majority. lie knew they had the power to nominate Curtin, but he could only support him under protest.— lie would not assign his reasons ! He con - t inned in an earnest appeal not to force Cur tin on them. Mr. A. Cummings, of-Philadelphia, wanted a direct vole on Mr. MclCennan’s resolutions. He believed Curtin would lie nominated :■ but ho wanted to show the fearful issue-they, were going before the people with. If Curtin was the clear choice of the-people, he would acquiesce in it. Mr. Curtin's declination of renoniiimtion was hailed as a harbinger of peaceall,over the State. The people thought a candidate could bo found who could stand upon the flag alone. He charged Unit upon the security that bad been cited by his decli nation, machinations bad been set on foot that threatened to force him again upon us, with nil the entanglements that have visited us in the past. Should tlio calamity liofal us, the people would hold them responsible. He said Curtin could not secure the support ,of cither hia own party or his office-holders." Another vote was then taken on the McKen nan resolutions, when they were again do foated—tyeas 40, nays 80. A motion was' made to adjourn. Voted down. The pro ceedings progress: “ A ballot for Governor was thou taken as -follows Curtin, 90; 11. D. Moore. 18; Pennev, 14; Moorhead, 1 ; Brewster, 3. Mr. Nevins, of Allegheny, moved that the nomination he made unanimous. Mr. McKennan, of Washington, asked him to withdraw it, (applause and hisses.) and about thirty or forty voted NO, amid hisses and applause.” The Convention then proceeded to nomi nate a candidate for Supremo Judge. The lion. Daniel Agnew, of Beaver county, ro coivcd tire ‘entire vote. A string of windy resolutions were then adopted, in which the “ last drop of blood arid the last dollar” wore again tendered to the Government by those who never gave a drop of blood or a dollar in support of the war in their lives, and, never will. Many of those blatant stay at-home patriots, however, have taken from the Gov- ernment millions of dollars, and by their ■treason against tho Constitution and laws have prolonged tho war and fattened upon tho “ blond” of better men than themselves, After the adoption, in almost surly silonce, if the resolutions, a greenhorn named lleig- hold, of Jefferson county, had tho presump- ion to offer a resolution on his " owu hook.” ft road thus' I “ Ifesolved, That the (old and determined stand taken by Hon. E. M. Stantoh, Seore- tnrv of War, in summarily arresting traitors and i/ueves wherever found, merits pur com mendation, and that in seizing any disloyal person we pledge him our hearty cooperation in the task which ho has before him/' Iho offering of this resolution' created another breeze and a hot debate. The friends of Curtin having carried their point, wore not to bo made fun of by the office-holders and shoddy contractors of the Washington corruptionists. They therefore opposed the resolution. Wo quote again from the pro ceedings: “ Mr. Nevin moved to table it. Mr. McVeigh wanted to know if Mr. Stan ton had originated these arrests. Mr. Walborn called for the yeas and nays on its adoption, . T\J r ' opposed -the resolution. Sir. Fuller charged -that Governor Cur tin s friends were trying to suppress this resolution. \ - • . • M r. Cummings wanted to know if Mr. McClure would vote for the resolutions if it was made to read ‘ and the Administration, ’ instead of Stanton ? Mr. Fuller thought its suppression would be regarded'as of Mr. Stan ton, which was meant by some men. He knew that Oovernor-OuBTiN wasjn open-an tagonism with Secretary Stanton, Mr. MoVeioh moved to insert ‘ the Ad ministration 7 for ‘ Secretary Stanton/ . Mr. Dickev - opposed the resolution. Mr. Carnaquan urged its adoption as amended. The amendment was accepted by Mr. Heighou), .and the resolution was declared adopted, but at the time-tho. vote was taken two-thirds of the delegates had -left the-Con vention.” ■The'Conventioa then adjourned with three •cheers p.nd three groans for the candidates.' We. have thus, in ns-briof a space as possi ule, recorded the main features of the.Abuli tiim State Convention. It is represented to have been the. most noisy, undignified, bois terous assembly'that ever- met' at Pittsburg, After it adjourned a number of fights occurred between the friends of the State and Nation al administrations; and. bets of two to one were made that the majority against Curtin on the-second Tuesday of October would reai-h 50,000. In our opinion those were safe'beta for, beyond question or doubt,- Curtin will receive ’-n worse defeat than even his mosl hitter enemies could dosiro. Let --h oo on Record.— -We wish to put it fairly on the record that at the present per riod, in-the history of our country and the rebellion, the American Volunteer is advoca ting in unqualified terms the cause ofVal lahdigham ; and-is urging his election aa Governor of Ohio. Let not this important fact he forgotten—it will! he convenient for' future reference.— Carlisle Herald.' We have not paid much to the Gubernatorial contest now going,dn in Ohio, but we have condemned the arbitrary arrest and banishment of Mr. Vallandioha-m, and -have published a couple of his speeches in * explanation of-his position. The banishment nf this-distinguished -statesman because of his political opinions, was an outrage that should forever damn the petty tyrants en gaged in .it, as well as those who defend it. You may put our opinions “on record,” sapient Herald, and mark yon, we will put yours on -record also. When, three years ago, wo predicted that the election of Lincoln (a ■sectional candidate) to the Presidency, would -certainly ho followed by olyil war, this same U». «st Acortlti, nnd - askei) the people to put them, “ on .record." When, (just before hostilities commenced.) wo ,begged the. Abolitionists to join such men .is Crittenden of Ky. and Stevens of Ga. in an effort to averftho impemfing ca lamity', the Herald, following the lone of more able Abolition journals, again litfooled to be merry and assured its readers that-the “ South could not be kicked into ii yaf,” and asked that tuir prediction might he put “on record." Yes, Blaeksnakcs,. keep our senti ments -“on reoorli.” We are not naimmod of them; and we now predict that if that little tyrant. Burnside, does not prevent tlio peo ple of Ohio from voting, as lie did the po- ple ofTCy., Vall-.vndicham will be triumphantly elected Governor of that State, Put that “on record," too. Arrested.— On Wednesday morning last Showers was arrested by Major •Burt, of Gen. Couch's sniff. Mr.'S, ismhared, do information of J.nis Noble, Esq., with informing the rebels where Ids and other ■farmers’ grain was concealed. This is a heavy charge, and if sustained-b'y trustworthy evidence, merits the most*, condign punish ment. Let justice lie dene.— Herald, Jnne2(j. Discharged.— -Edward Showers, whoso ar rest we noticed some time ago, has been discharged -by order of Assistant Provost Gen. Bunvpford.— Herald, August 8. And is that ail you have to say concerning the discharge of Mr. Showers,- after having made your libellous charge against him ? Some of those who urged the arrest of Mr. S. live in close proximity to the Herald office. It was not Mr. Noble, but other men who bad him arrested. Mr. Showers was taken 1 1 Harrisburg and there kept for eight oi“ton days, when finally lie had a hearing. Not one particle of evidence against him could he sustained, and lie was honorably disoharg ed, with the remark by Provost Marshal Bumdfobd, that ho “ never knew a more causeless arrest nr a greater outrage.” The fact is Mr. S. was arrested solely because he le-a'Democrat; it was political persecution and untiling else. Now (hat he is released and his accusers proved falsifiers, it is- his turn to have men arrested. There is certain ly law to prevent such outrages, and we hope Mr. S. will put the men “ through” who de prived him of his liberty. Wo -have a Court here in Carlisle that dares to do right. “ Let justice be done," •QT Ex-President Buchanan is at present at the Bedford Springs. The Bedford Ga zette thus speaks of the old patriot and states- man- Mr tßuchanah looks the embodiment of health and vigor, notwithstanding his ad vanced age.

True tothese ns the beacon lights of onr safety, no time-serving or truckling policy is sub scribed to by Ipm. Tito compeer of Jackson, Clay and Webster has lived to rcalizo what ho and those great men told ns years ago, Abolitionism was bringing upon ns. Had his term been six instead of four years, we would have a peaceful and happy Union yet. His great policy and the great policy of all true Democrats—equal rights—must he rec ognized and established as a condition pre cedent to the ro construction of this Govern ment.

Express.] WaBl«inut(w, July 31, 1803.— A gontlo °f *oo first intelligence, ah old Whig, and formerly a member of'Congress, has re cently returned from n visit to Harrisburg. reports the confidence of the Democrats ol Pennsylvania of success at the October election ns universal. The lowest estimate he heard of Woodward’s majority was 50,000. Gov. Curtin will bo renominated-by the Republicans, although bitterly denounced by the'Secretary of'War. The latter favors the nomination of John Covoile, an ignorant and foul-mouthed demagogue, and.a stupid libeller of McClellan. . ‘ The'result of the Gubernatorial bleotion'in this State will'much more than come up to the estimates of those who olaim but 50,000 majority for Judge Woodward. We do not propose to lot off the Abolitionists, and those who sustain them in their treason against the Constitution, with any such figures as the above. They must bo absolutely crushed by the weight of the majority against them— they must he put down so low as never to hope for a successful renewal of (heir-war upon the constitutionol liberty of white .men -—they must bo expelledforever .from power w’liich they have only used wickedly and corruptly.

Heron Foster, .Provost Marshal of Pittsburg,-a few days ago, and after.being tied to,a whipping.post, had his back oowhided by a corporal in the regiment.. The affair has caused no little sensation in 'Pittsburg,.and Provost Marshal Foster, in defence, of ■ his conduct, lias pub lished a card, in which he admits that he had the man whipped, and that he acted without authority.of liny, but undertakes to justify his act on the ground that ho knew of no law' under which to punish desertion, and is wil ling to submit to any award under the law.for. committing assault anil battery. The-Pfovoet; Marshal’s actus not only a gross violation Of law itself, but it .is'an abuse of his office and a usurpation tf power, for which he should bo exemplarily punished. The crime of de sertion is a military offence for which the laws of the United States provide the mode of trial by court martial, and special punish ment on conviction. No officer of the Gov ernment can .usurp these powers, and not. only prosecute, but try, condemn and punish at his will and pleasure. The. outrage is greater in this case, because flogging is no longer considered a proper punishment in the U. S. service, and has been entirely abolished by act of Corfgress’ in our navy.
