June 2.—The Herald this morning comes out In the deepest mourning for tbe death of James Gordon Bennett, Its proprietor and foun der. Tbe editorial on tbe deceased says; u It Is not our province to eulogize blm. His career as a journalist is before the world and la public property. Hie private life and personal character are the prop erty of iris family and friends.’’.. The other papers contain ieugtby obituaries of tbe deceased, with editorial comments in wbleb the highest passible tributes are paid to bis memory as u leader in tbe great school of American journalism. James Gordon Bennett woe boro at New Mill Keith, iu Scotland, in 1800,— He woe educated for the priesthood at a Human Catholic seminary at Aberdeen, but did not follow out tbe intention of his parente. Xu April, 1819, during a period of great commercial depression, young Bennett set salt for America, where be attempted to earn bis living as a teacher, but with very indifferent *oo ccss. In 1822 be occupied a position on a newspaper at Charleston, South f-aroll.- ua, which, however, be soon relinquish ed and wont to New York where be became au active member ot tbe Fourth estate. Ou May 5. 1835 he issued the first number of 1 the Herald, which, through his Judicious management and indomitable perseverance, has grotro to a journal of colossal proportions and of Immense value. A short time since be retired ffpm Us control leaving it in tbe bands of bis eon, Mr. Bennett was in contestably a man of great abilities, pea etiatlon and Judgment. SBXT QOVEBHOB, BTIOKAIEW! , "MATCH HIM I” HOW FOE VIOTOET! ■lt Is with heartfelt joy that we an- Uounco to our readers the nomination, (by the,’ Beading Democratic State Convention) of Hon. Charles B. iItJOKALEW, of Columbia county, for ■Governor. He will be elected by a mon strous mcfjorily. Ho is a. man in the .prime of life, a ripe scholar, a statesman ofonlargedand liberal views, and whose character for integrity and honor is un , impeached and unimpeachable. He has been a public man Tor many years, Ail ing. various responsible positions, and the universal verdict always has been and is now, f that.he discharged his du ties with sig-Halablfity and He has always been a DemoClat, but never a bigot, and no partisan feeling would induce him to move a hair’s breadth fijoia what he' believed to be right. AU in all, Charles 8.-Buok alew is one of the very best men in Pennsylvania, and when be takes the oath of office as Governor of Pennsyl vania, holiest men of all parties'will re joice. ' ■ Per Judge of the Supreme Court, the Hon. James Thompson received the nomination. To use the' language of the, Harrisburg Patriot, “ this Is a just 1 tribute to the eminent ability, purity and worth of that distinguished jurist. Judge Thompson has been • tried . for fifteen years on the supreme bench, and has met the high expectations of the people. His services are written in the laws of the commonwealth. Against him the radicals have nominated the Hon. Ulysses Mereur. Judge. Mercur has bad little experience on the bench. For the last six years he has been an active politician, and the unfitness of his nomination is rendered more glar ing in the fact that it was given as a: reward for partisan services. There is. no danger that the people will set aside a ripe and ablejurist like Judge Thomp son to make room for this partisan who possesses hot a tithe of his experience and ability. '■ '> The failure of. Qovernoi Geary to sign the apportionment bill of last ses sion, and the recent passage of a supple mentary apportionment act in congress giving Pennsylvania yet another rep resentative, have required the election by the people of three congressmen at large. In the performance of this por tion of the work, the Beading conven tion has presented for congressmen at’ large the names of Richard Vaux, James H. Hopkins and Hendrick B. Wright. All three of these names are well known to tbe democracy of the State. Mr. Vaux, who represents the democracy of the east, held the office of Mayor of Philadelphia, some years ago, and enjoys great popularity in that nltyi. , - The Hon. Hendrick B. Wright, of Luzerne, represents, the democracy of timnorth on the ticket for dongress at large. Mr. Wright formerly represent ed bis i district in congress and was chairman of the national convention at Baltimore which nominated James K. Polk for President in. 1844. He is very popular throughout his portion of the State,' and will receive a tremendous : vote from the miners of the entire an thracite region. James H. Hopkins, Esq., is a promi nent young lawyer of Pittsburg, and is the son of-that distinguished veteran democrat, William Hopkins, of Wash ington county. In this nomination the young democracy of Pennsylvania are properly recognised! Mr. Hopkins is an eloquent speaker, and will be heard on the stump during the campaign, as will his two associates on the congres sional ticket, both of whom are experi enced campaigners. William Hartley, of Bedford co., Who has received. the nomination for Auditor General, has never held or sought office. He has always been con tent to perlorm his duty as a citizen without seeking the rewards of . a poli tician. Fora number of years past he has been extensively engaged in the oil b ainess, and is well and most favorably known byal! engaged in the trade] for his stand against the South Improve ment monopoly last winter. Business qualifications of the highest order and an itegrity of character that has never been impeached, fit him for this re sponsible position. Possessed of ample means he does not seek the emoluments of tbe office, but is ready and to devote hia time and sorvicc'd-lo the interests of the public, 9e is In, every respect the moral antipodes of Harrison Allen who would be the mere tool of an unscrupulous ring in the office of Audi tor General.” A TYEANI BY .HATUEE ■ The thing that lias, been, it has been said, will .be again. The following telegram has been unearthed after a burial of nearly six years; it was issued by Ulysses S, Grant during a period of profound peace, and directed to a Major General in the army station ed in ,'a city where the laws had free course: Washington, JuneGth, 1865. Major General John A. Mix, N. Y.; — Have John Mitcbel, formerly editor of the .Richmond Mcaihiner, arrested and sent to Fortress Monroe, Virginia; for confinement and trial. Make the arrangements'for hia immediate ship mentpeforei arrested, and give the mat ter in charge of a discreet officer, who will net let it get out that the arrest is to be made until he has his man. XT. 8. Grant. In accordance with this order, issued by one army officer to another, a resi dent ef the United States was seized by military power aud shipped to another. State,- where he was “ reciptod for” as follows: HKADQUAUTEB3 MWTABV PJSTBICT Of) PoBTBZss Vniuisiji, Judo 17, 1865. / ■ Received, from Major i General Jppu A. Dix, pesSecoud Lieutenant William H, Morris, Twentieth N. Y. Indepen dent Battery, one prisoner named John Mitchel, late editor Richmond Exam iner. • Jno. S. MoEwan, Captain and A. A. G. At Fortress Monroe he .was shut up in a case-mate for several months,'and Anally released without having any. charge brought against him.. Had this occurred while the rebellion was . flagrant it wdu)d still have been' entirely unjustifiable; for we have been ' taught to believe that an oath to an in formatloh must be made before a civil magistrate,, before an arrest “can be made, and that tbe arrest must be made by civil authority. ■ Give Grant a new lease of power, and Jn a fow years these arrests will be as common as the rising and setting of the sun. ATTEMPTING TO MAKE HIMSELF DIO TATOB. That Grant is anxious to make him self Dictator and to carry his re-election by the bayonet, we have now positive evidence. A few days ago in company with one of his military scrubs he was on the floor of the House begging to se cure an extension of the Ku-kiux and Porco bills; in other words asking the House to join the Senate in giViug him legal authority to shoot down any man who won’t veto for hlm. The same despatch that gives this-information, asserts, as if by authority, that unless these two measures are carried the President will call an extra sessionand keep Congress together through all the heated term until it yields to his de mand to place the bullotiboxes of the.' South under his direct control in No vember. Exactly what these bills are is clearly expressed in the following, summary of them: The ; Force bill gives the President thh power to appoint, through his partisans, the circuit judges, supervisors of elec-' tiou for every polling. piaco in th United States, and deputy marshals to arrest and imprison any person whom these supervisors may accuse of fraud ulent voting. It overturns all State election laws, and places Federal offi cers at every ballot-box. The Ku-klux bill authorizes the President tosuspend tbe habeas corpus throughout the coun try and use the army to arrest whom he pleases. It is au established fact, therefore, that the President is determined at all hazards to make himsslf virtual Dicta tor of the South immediately before and-at the time of a general election.— Giving him the absolute and unques tioned power to suspend the habeas corpus throughout the South* at such a time has no other meaning than the control of the polls by the military.— Can it be th at General Grant has so little faith in his own popularity among the people that he feels compelled to visit the Capitol while Congres is in session, and there attempt to dictate to. that august body the passage of acts Which are intended solely to secure, his re-election at the point of the bayone't? Tfmt tho Ku-klux act is a bad one in itself, that it is as unpopular as bad, are facts demonstrated by the very gen-, eral opposition made to it by the- very strongest and most-intelligent Republi can papers . of. the North. Even in Philadelphia, the very paper that pub lisbed the despatch above referred to, said, oh M onday last, in a leading edi torial : *‘ Jt has been charged that the “ effort for the continuance of this strln “ gent and ' almost arbitrary act Is ;an “attempt of the President to carry the “Southern Siates next fall by the hayo “het. • We'hope not. * * * * “ The Ku- klux act, with its delegation “ of such great powers to the President, ■ ■“ and' its invasion of State rights, has “ always been regarded with distrust “by thousands of Republicans.”, *• * “ We ourselv es believe that the Klan “ will'not be revived this year, and that “if it is there.will be power enough “exclusive of 'this act to protect the !“ blacks, ; and- we must condemn the bill '‘ before Cohgress'ds a party measure." ■ Re-elect h im, and in 1876, he will cel ebrate the centennial of ohr birth as a nation, by doing so without even the pretext of law to excuse him. - Happily, fear of the people, who still hold the! ballot in terrorem over the heads of; Congressmen from close dis tricts, caused the efforts of Grant and his henchmen to be ineffectual. Nq mah ean, prove aught against the integrity of General Hartranft, and all the malicious insinuations against him in that respect are libels for which the present law is inadequate to provide a penalty.— Carlisle Herald. As more than one-half the Republican papers of the State as well os a commit tee of the Legislature have pronounced John F. Hartranft an unfaithful officer,, who was a i partner of Evans in his great steal,' the above paragraph from the Herald is decidedly cool if not reckless. Here are some mottoes which it would be well for the. Herald hang out: “I paid to John F..Hartranft various amounts of money from stock specula tions with money deposited with this deponent by the State Treasurer at the instance of said Hartranft. *• Chas. T. Yerkeh, Broker.” “ I paid Jqhn J?. Hartranft the sum of twenty-seven hundred dollars, which sum was derived from profits on pur chases of loans of the commonwealth, and sale of the same to the sinking fund, which sale was made on the 29th of April, 1870.” “ Chas. T. Yebkes, Broker.” “ I borro wed seven thousand dollars of G. O.Evana, and did not pay Itbacfc until tbe matter of the defalcation.was notorious. "‘ John F. Hartranft.” Mr. J., Edgar Thompson, President of the Pennsylvania Central Railway, sailed for Europe the other day, for a little rest, though not before threatened softening of the brain, nor before grave doubts among his friends of his recov ery. Col. Thomqs A. Scott, Vice Pres ident of the Company, has been ordered by his physicians, it is said, to abate his labors, if be would live, -the second Vice president of the Road has been sent to an Insane Asylum, his faculties having become impaired by the severe htrqin upon them, and the absence of all relaxation. Other employes of the gigantic Company are represented as worn out by constant toil. A more forcible 'commentary on our national tendency to overwork could not well be made. Over-anxiety and over-doing are. the physical and mental curse of our people. We have never yet learned, •moderation in labor, or how to take rest. We die of exhaustion and old age at fifty, while Epropeans are considered in their prime at fifty-five and sixty.— Wo'certalnly pay a high prico for our material progress, ‘ for our rapid ad vancement-top high, it would seem, sometimes. If, with pur extraordinary energy and application, we could learn something of the tienoflt of leisure ; if We cpuld borrow a little stolidity from ’ the English, a few smiles from the French; a modicum of calmness from theQerlnans, we should be much heal •tbier add happier,and should doubtless accomplish quite as much in the long run. _________ Forney’s Press thinks “ The Democratic party in Pennsyl vania is perhaps In better trim just now than, anywhere else In the country. 1 Liberalism orany other element ef disintegration has made but little head way, and the organization enters. the canvass with bright hopes, which,' whether groundless or not, are gener ally , entertained.” -And that “We may expect the veterans of many a defeat to gird on their armor and gp into the fray with their usual effervescent enthusiasm.” ; Forney ..fpels II in his bones that an overwhelming defeat awaits tho due bill candidate. SENSIBLE AND LOGICAL SENTIMENTS, The following article we take from the Philadelphia Inquirer, one of the ablest Republican papers in the State. Bead It, everybody, and ■in doing so, remember that that spawn of hell, the so-callod Ku-klux bill, as it passed the Senate, was an administration measure; ■Fair Play for the South, The passage of the so-called Ku-klnx bill by the Senate on Wednesday was one of those mistakes which will live to, torment it? authors. ,It virtually.de-. prlvcs the South of all right' to self government, add substitutes the bayo net for the ballot. - Itis something more than folly—it is supreme" for national legislators to declare,atthia late day that the Sduth must be ground' down under the heel of the military be cause of a rebellion which was ended Spven years ago. Such a declaration is a, "mere pretense to hold a .people' in. subjection, to dppress and humiliate' them, in order that certain' poUtlcal ends may be advanced which are as un wise and ‘inexpedient as they are dis-' honorable. This unholy cant of patriot ism has had expression long enough In Reconstruction lawk and other acts of Congress framed Spfecially for keeping the whole'Southern pepple in subjection, ; On the eve of a general : election, to extend a law which destroys the civil powdr of the Southern States,' which makes them solely subject to the will of one man, which suspends the habeas corpus and places the polls under ; the absolute control of the one person most directly interested in the result of' that election, is- one of those acts of manifest injustice and impropriety Which no portion of the American peo ple can regard with favor. In the face of such an act the balff way Amnesty bill passed by the Senate and signed by the President, becomes the merest sham possible.. It is a thing of little meaning and of less worth, for while it assumes to enfranchise the South, theKu-klux bill absolutely aims to prevent a faireiection. The ex-rebels are given the right to vote, but they can exercise that right only as Northern bayonets direct ill . » -;f ’ * This measure Is the device of a cow ard. Its passage can only result In Grant’s Injury, for if there is any one thing more than another determined upon by the whole country, it is.that the time has fully arrived when the South shall be admitted in fact and not ■in pretense into the. Union. There has been no real reconstruction, while on every side it is admitted there should be. If the prosperity of the country is to be assured, if the old hospitable commercial relations are ever to be re-, established between the North and South, if a true peace is to prevail, they can only be made to do so by making the laws of the general government as applicable to South Carolina as to Mas sachnsetts. Amity and good will, which are absolutely necessary for the coun try’s best development and highest good, can never exist between the two sections \yhile the one controls the oth er as Russia controls' Poland, England Ireland, and Spain Cuba. The South is either ah'lhtergal part of the Union, or is not; ita States are States, or they are conquered provinces. If they are States they should have every right that is guaranteed to them by the Constitu tion. If they are conquered provinces; then Ku-klux laws and every other in famy may be proper. Evidently the -Senate' considers them such, but that opinion is confined to the working ma jority of the Senate, and is indignantly repudiated - elsewhere.- The country wants the Union restored, and it will not tamely allow the miserable exigen cies.of politics to prevent a proper res toration.- The Senate bill is a bad one, conceived and carried out for an iniqui tous purpose, and those w|id favor it, no matter who they are, must expect te bear thel odium which the North and Sputh attach to it. -.- Ben Butler, tbe least scrupulous dem agogue- in Congress, defiantly an nounced but a,, few days ago that the real object of the bill was to control the November elections by the military,the result of-which bit of insolent bravado was that the House indignantly spurned it. It will again come before the Rep resentatives directly; and we trust they will then condemn it as emphatically as they did before. It has gained noth ing by the endorsement of the Senate. The Usurper- arraigned—Great Speech op Senator Sumner, the U. Senate, a few’dayssice, Senator §3am* ner, of Massachusetts, delivered a four hours’ speech against the great usurper and gift-receiver, Useless Grant. He lit* orally skinned Grant alive; and produced proof to, sbow that he is the meanest, 1 Didst corrupt, moat overbearing ’ law breaker in America. He reviewed Grant’s nepotism and gift-taking, bis corruption and vindictiveness, and wound up by an appeal to bis party friends not to again disgrace themselves by making this man their candidate. It was the great speech of Sumners life, and created a profound sensation. Democratic State Convention! THE NOMINATIONS. For Governor, Bon, C- R- Buckalew. For Judge of Supreme Court, Hon. Jas.

At 11 o'clock tills morning the Demo cratic State Convention met atJWlahler's Academy of Music. Long before the openlng.of tbe Convention tbe duditorum was crowded by persons from abroad and our own citizens. The seats on tbe stage wore filled by tbe delegates and tbe re- Eortors of the press. Tbe visiting Bauds, efore tbo Convention was called to or der, discoursed several very fine pieces of mus)o. Hon Wm. A. Wallace, Chairman of tbe State Central Committee, called tbe meeting to order, after wbiob, John C. .Barr of Pittsburg, one of tbe secretaries, read oil tbe list of delegates, first by dis tricts and then in alphabetical order. i Hon. W. A. Wallace said : Gentlemen of the Convention, I invoke in your deliberations the spirit of har mony, mutual deference and concession. Honest difference of opinion will exist.— In the performance of your duties in a true spirit; you will command success and hurl from power the corrupt rings that disgraced the state administrations, and defeat the radical ring nominations. The symbol of authority during the last five years has come to me, I might say without solicitation frofn the democracy, of Pennsylvania. It now becomes my duty to return lb you my thanks for your attention, foryour.f»|d and co-operation. ; I tender to you my sincere thanks for the honor. We ate now ready for the nomi nation of chairman. '' Capt. Bkiuner nominated R. B. Brown, of Clarion, for temporary Chairman of the Convention.' • Mr. .Bailey (Allegheny) ndmed Hon. Wm- Bigler. Mr. Bigler. I desire to say that I de cline to be considered a [candidate. I came here probably for the last time, to a convention or Democrats, from my na tive State. I came here with my heart fall of gratitude for what they have done for mb heretofore. Remembering bow in great trial they have supported their principles, I have the deepest ealitudel for the future success of that party. Un der ull circumstances I would uot be •equal to tbe dutlob required of tbe Chair man, and I therefore decline to be either temporary or permanent president. Mr. Moofe nominated Wm. M. Ran dall. • * ... Mr. Randall declined the office and thought the gentleman first named, Hon. R. B. Brown, should be elected by accla mation. This motion was agreed to and Mr. Brown was ooudacted to tbe ohair, and addressed the mooting substantially as follows: SPEECH OP HON. S. B. BROWN. Gentlemen of the Convention, 1 than*) you for ,tbe honor you have conferred upon me of occupying the position o' temporary chairman oviir this assembly qf Democrats, representing the Democra cy of. the great Stole of ] Pennsylvania.— Democrats, wo 1 I lave met here under, favorable circumstances.

Fellow citizens, in Democratic times we never hai i an Exec utive, from the days of Sbuu k, Packer, or friend ‘ Bigler, to the present, who would .take a pamphlet of the size of a monthly, magazine to explain tlie corrup tions of his own party. In the legislative branch of the govern ment, in Democratic times, we never saw legislation controlled by corrupt rings, and powers granted by giant corporailous which will crush out the interest’ of this Commonwealth. I hope that , tlio good old Democratic times will again ho re stored; • We have a large ticket ho nom inate, and X hope the spirit of hurm.ouy and unity will prevail and tUat our whole action will be such that the people will endorse at the polls. Thanking you again for the honor conferred, I. ask for your kind consideration while I discharge my duties. » ■ Mr, Monaghan moved that the rules of tbe House of Representotives of this State be adopted to govern the proceed ings of this Convention, Agreed to Mr. Randall,offered the following reso lution : , ■ Resolved, That a committee of thirty three members be made of the delegates from each Senatorial district, to report permament officeirs to the Convention, and that a similar committee, similarly constituted, be appointed to draft resolu tions, to which alii resolutions shall be re ferred without debate or reading. Mr. Carrington, (Phila). I have no ob jection to the resolution save to tbe last two words, and those words are “or read ing.!’ NoW, Sir, I thing that this Con vention ought to hear the resolutions. — We will not know what resolutions are offered unless we. bear them read. I move to amend by striking out tbe two words, “or reading.” Mr. Lamberton, (Luzerne). I under stand a resolution in exactly those words was offered in the lost Democratic Con vention'of this State, for the purpose and intention of facilitating Ibe business. 1 have no doubt all gentlemen from all parts of the State are here with their views in writing- I know there are from my section. We have got more business connected'with this convention than any other convention that has ever assem bled in this State. If we Under take to read all-tbe resolutions of this convention we will not only be In session to-day but to-morrow and the next day. lam willing to trust the committee of Democrats- selected from tbe Sendtotlaf districts with any resolutions that may be offered from any, part of the State. Mr. Carrigan. -1 agree with the gen tlemen entirely as to the abilities of the committee of twenty-three, but I say it is due to the Democrats assembled here in the Convention, that any resolution of fered shall be read, in order to know what resolutions shall go to the commit tee. We ace entitled to know what reso lutions are offered in this convention. — Thisds the sole reason that.l offered the amendment. Gen. Co ifroth moved to strike out the portion relating to the reading of resolu tions, and insert that all resolutions of fered in this Convention upon the subject of the national platform, or in reference to the nomination of President or Vice President, be refeired to the Committee on Besoiutions at the clerk’s desk with out debate. This amendment was ac cepted, and the resolution as amended and adopted read as follows: Resolved, That a committee of thlrty -1 three members be made.of tbe delegates from each Senatorial district to report permanent offlcorato thejConventlon, and that a similar committee, similarly constituted, be appointed to draft resolutions, ' and that, ail resolu tions oflered in this Convention upon the subject oi the National platform or in reference to tbe nomination of President and Vice President be referred to the Committee on Besoiutions at the clerk’s desk without debate. Gen. Coffroth (Somerset) offered the following resolution : ' Resolved, That the committee of thirty three members be mode by the delegates from each senatorial district to nominate and report fourteen delegates at large to tbe Constitutional Convention. Mr. Brundnge ' (Luzerne) moved that the resolution be postponed until after the permanent organization of this Con vention, and after the nominations have been made for Governor, Auditor-Gen eral and Supreme Judge. , Gen. Coffroth. I have no'objection against tbe postponement of this resolu tion, but I think that the committee ought to be appointed now, so that they may select their representatives, and then, after the nominations have been made, they may report the fourteen dele gates. Mr. Moore (Allegheny). I seconded the motion to postpone. X would like to say why I did so. It is not with the view of subsequently taking up, tbe reso lution. lam opposed to tbe nomination of men for either of those two offices by this convention at all. There are men scattered over this Commonwealth, men who will do honor to any office, I be lieve, sir, that this Convention, without regard t* local vacations) ought to be al-, lowed to exercise its judgment in select ing for that position, the very best men in this party. I desire, Mr. Chairman, to have tbe liberty, not of nominating a man in my own locality, but anywhere in Pennsylvania ; who can best do tbe work wbiob.tbls tlme and this hour most requires to dq wisely. lam not ready to surrender to any parties, but select from any quarter, and yon have the liberty to nominate on the floor In this Convention the men that in mp Judgment will fur nish tbe best contrast to tbe men that are opposed to us for that office. C. D. Emery, (Columbia). Let thie question be postponed until the. Conven tion is permanently organized. Mr. Brawley moved to postpone until after tbe permanent organization alone and strike out the last part of tbe resolu tion. This-amendment was accepted and the resolution as'amended was agreed to. Delegate from Allegheny. 1 don’t know that there is any person in this Convention favorable to rings. We are here to carry out the business by the ap pointmetat of our business committee lor thep u rpose of nominating fourteen dele gates to the Constitutional Convention. If we undertake to elect these fourteen men by ballot as has been suggested; it will take us daye. We ought at once to nominate this committee so that they can go on and prepare a list of delegates that is to be submitted to this Convention.— As a matter of saving time weshould pass this resolution, Mr, Worrel said the motion to post pone Was not debatable. The motion to postpone until after, per manent organization was agreed to.

Hiester Ciymer, on being in troduced to the Convention spoke as follows: Gentlemen op the Convention r: —I am profoundly grateful to you for this, and you will bear me witness, unsolicited honor. It adds o.nother to the many debts of gratitude I owe to the. Democtaey of Pennsylvania, and did 1 not know the feeling, gentleman of the Convention, this is a solemn hour. Prom all parts of this) Keystone State, from our rivers, which flow to tbe gulf, from our lakes, from the southern borders, from the northern line, men have come up bore together to consult for the deliverence of the land. For twelve years, long, dreary, bitter years, the people o!f the whole land nave suffered worse than an Egyptian, bondage. Good men every where to-day sure consulting together how there may be a deliverance from this gripe of military power, from this oppression and wrong, from suffering Which we endure patiently, because we hope and belive that In the Democracy and in the good men of the whole land there can yet be deliverance from them. We are abont to appeal to the whole people of the whole State and tbe whole country. 1 will not say how you are to appeal to them. It will not be my pleasure for one moment to In dicate to this Convention what they shall do. I can only ask that' your Convention shall be conducted in tbe. interest of right, and it will and most bear abundant fruits. I Have nothing to say to you with' reference to men, nothing with reference to him who should fill the high position of Govern or. It Is my pleasure to know every gentleman connected with that office and to know them personally, in him whom your choice will 1011, he will be immeasurably the peer of his opponent. You are about to begin your delibera tions. You will allow me most rever ently to humbly ask the devine blessing of Him, without whom and without his guidance the labors of men are in , vain. I have but one more word to add, that you will pardon any error I i may make and believe It to be an errot ! of the head and not of the heart. . 1 am. done, gentlemen, and am ready to re ceive any motions that the Convention, may have to offer. The roll whs called by the Secretary, and the following resolution was offer ed : Unsolved. That a committee of 38 bo appointed t one from each Senatorial district, to report the names of 14 per sons at large as delegates to the Consti tutional Convention, and 10 persons as delegates to the Democratic national Convention. The first part of the resolution was adopted. The proposition to send 10 delegates at large to the national Convention, was opposed by Mr, JLamborton,. Lu zerne. Ho was not In.favor of a com mittee choosing the delegates to the national Convention. That power should bo exercised by the Convention Itself. . The consideration of the second por tion of the resolution was, on motion, postponed indefinitely. ' Mr. Carrlgan . desired to ask of the Chairman of the Committee on Besolu tlons what progress they were makipg in their duties. Gov.

The Convention met at 10 o’clock this morning. Several substitutions of delegates were made, after which the entire list was called over. Hon. Charles B. Buckalew,' ‘the nominee of the Convention for Govern or, was introduced by Mr. Oiymer, and was greeted with loud cheers and ap plause. He spoke as follows: SPEECH OF MR. BUCKALEW. Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention: —I appear this morning In your presence, in pursuance of the re quest of the,Committee that waited up on me, for the purpose of tendering to you, and through you, 1 hope, to the majority of the people of this State, my sincere, heartfelt, earnest thanks for the great honor which has been done me in nominating me as a Democratic candi date i. for Governor of this Common wealth. [Applause.] This nomination, so tendered, was not solicited by me.— It came, if 1 understand the facts cor rectly, as a legitmate, healthy out growth of public opinion in this State [applause]—not so much from any gen eral conviction of pre-eminent ability in the individual wno has been selected —not because of any shining or distin guished,, character which has been established by him, but because my fellow citizens throughout this Com monwealth, having had the opportuni ty for nearly a quarter of a century to observe his course, have been strenth ened in the belief that whatever else may be said of your candidate, he is neither to be seduced nor intimidated in the performance of public duty.— [Vociferous applause]. Judging' by the past,lt ' is' llfeely in the future that when the interests of a class or a clique are upon ope side and tbe Interests of .the people, upon the other, we will stand firmly as a.rock by the latter: ■ ’ ■ ■ 1 Gentleman, this action taken .by yon, I speak now personally, will be‘sanc tioned and ratified. [Applause.] Prompted by hb. low; aim,.no mer peraonal object, but acting froth patrp otic motives and honest convictions, we' will go forward in this contest assihrede that tbe result Will be triumph:. [Vor clferous applause.] ■ , , , And what dp, we desire?. Not men representing merely the" offices,—pot the mere advocation of party pageant, but that this government shall be 'hon est and fair, and equal' lii 'action: in regard to all our people,•’and nboveall at this Juncture that these reforms;ln government in the State as well as in the government' of the United States .shall be secured. : The people of this State .'have deter emiped that the Constitutional onvn-. vention shall fairly represent the whole State.;- - But we know that something mote than this is necessaty. 1 That Constitu tional prevision must be general to a certain extent: and with the application of the principles of the, Constitutional, government we must have reliable men in public places. The old' political motto, a popular one, ,is this, “princi ples and notmen,’’and I believe that an inscription equal to this expression' was placed upon.the carriage of Madi son, and he exemplified it. In the experiences of the present time we should now say “principles and men’ —and support them. [Load applause.] Look, to your government of the State, look to your government at Washington, is it not manifested by them that good principles. of funda mental are wronged by them ? Be it now our mission in this initia ted reform of 1872 to go forward in the selection of men who will apply Amer lean principles in our American government. [Applause.] Gentlemen, my ideas of the duties of the Governor, of the, Commonwealth are, I.auppose somewhat peeuliifr. My idea,is that he is a magistrate called to a high and important office. In the actual discharge of his duty he is not to know the party which elected him; he is to be the magistrate for the entire people of the Commonwealth. He is not to let loose a criminal from the Eenitentiary because a political favorite as demanded it, [Applause]. I be lieve there, is a disposition at this time in this Commonwealth to. get a little outside of the Intense party feeling when it tends to blind men to tbe true purposes of government. Our people are beginning to understand.that there are many significant questions upon which all men of liberal opinions can readily unite, such as general amnesty, finance, taxation, dec., upon which there are common Interests. Now, in view of the general disposition to have reform Introduced into our State and National governments we are entitled—when we set up candidates around whom public, confidence is gathered—to-all shades of opinion, and establish a new departure* one from blind party faithfulness to in tegrity In the administration of the gov ernment- [Applause.] , Gentlemen, it isa souroo ofgreafsatis faction to know that at this stage of the controversy the utmost good feeling pre vails in this Convention, and outside,.re specting tbe nominations. All in tbe Convention and their friends are cordi ally united, I now desire that you all will stand by me In this contest, and uphold my. weak and feeble hands like a band of brothers. There has been, heretofore, too much of a disposition to push personal rivalries a little too far, and tbe result has been that our noble State has been comparatively dwarfed lii, this great Union of ours, whilst other States no larger than ours, have been more prominent and bad more influence' This has been our own fault and the remedy is in our hands. Let us cultivate and cherish magnanimity' and good will, and when a man rises above the ordinary level, instead of patting him dawn, support him- Let ns- cultivate I State spirit and State pride, and encour age our own men and give them that po sition which belongs to them* I hail the friendly feeling prevading the prooaed- Ings of this Convention as ah evidence that we will hereafter cultivate that spir it of harmony and good will among our representative men, which will not only promote the interests of our party, but give our State that position it deserves. Gentlemen, I know you-are anxious, to get through with your duties here, and I-sbail not say anything farther now.— During the course of tbe canvass oppor tunity will be offered me to meet you In different parts of tbe State, at meetings more especially Intended for the discus sion of the various questions. Iwlll en deavor to perform my. whole dhty In. this canvass and I have no doubt you will perform youra. Mr. Olymer said, at tbe close of the above address: VMay a kind Providence guard and keep him! May the good peo ple sustain and support him! And may honest men everywhere, and of every po litical creed rejoice that the hour has struck when in him, by him and through him, imbecility and corruption is to be banished from the Executive and Legis lative departments of this Common wealth. Mr. Coffroth moved that the Conven tion proceed with the nominations for Auditor-General, which was agreed to and the following nominations were made; ■ Mr. Bailey, of Allegheny, nominated Gen. W. W. H. Davis,'of Bucks ; Gen. Zulloh nominated Gen. Wm. MoCand less, of Pbila.; Mr, Ham nominated F. M. Crane, of Wayne; Capt. Skinner nom inated Wm. Hartley, of Bedford; Mr. Cummings nominated Jno. Loabe, of Clearfield ; Mr. Patton nominated'J. F. Temple, of Greene; Mr. Sloan nominated B. L. Temple, of Phila.; Mr. Bailey nom inated Levi Malsh, of York:- and M.r. Worrel nominated Wm.

Loshe, Temple, of Philadelphia, Malsh and Baird were withdrawn. ■ SECOND" BAUDOT. Davis, 29 ; McCandiess, 8 ; Crane, 8 ; Hartley, 179; Temple, of Greene, 89.' Mr. Hartley having received, a 1 majori ty of ail the votes, he was duly announced as nominated, On motion of Mr- Monaghan, of Chea ter, the-nomination of Mr, Hartley was made unanimous. General Davis, of Bucks, made a few remarks, in which be pronounced the success of the party a certainty. Mr. Hartley woe Introduced, amidst loud applause, and briefly addressed the Convention, as follows .- SPEECH OP MB. HARTLEY) I have not the language to express to you the feelings of my heart for the hon or you haveconferred upon me, knowing that as a politician apd a party man, it is' unmerited. Though ' X have dived -40 years, I have never held an office of trust or emolument, no matter what other sips 1 may be guilty of, [Daughter.] But it is certainly a great gratification to me to day, to know that my friends' and neigh bors have thought better of. me than I have of myself. [Daughter and applause.] I stand before you without any prepar ed speech,' All I expected, when my name was taken op by the Convention, was a complimentary vote, ; Two weeks ago I did not dream of being presented to the people of Pennsylvania for such ah honorable position. But as you have seen proper, In your wisdom or folly, to place me in nomination, I. will by the, help of God, try to pursue the same course of life, guided by the eame rules I have ever been guided by, and not bring shame upon the State. Impromptu speeches generally run shallow, and 1 will not inflict one upon you. [Daughter.] I hope to become better acquainted with you. If the people of Pennsylvania see proper to make me the guardian of their treasury I will endeavor to figure up the accouuts by the same rules that were taught me In the old school arith metics. I never was in the Deglslature,
