A GRAND FIZZLE.
Tho 'Hogus Convention," or rather tho
amclaveof muloontentii which infoKt the
Domooratio party just now, undeserving
.he name of Convention, even with the
prefix of Logua, which met at llurrisburg
List Wodnc8day, tiroved most unexpect

failure a couiploto fizzle. Not even large
enough to furnibh Forney and his coadju

utropaniocbhin in their misery. And
oven somo of those who we e present for

Onr Candidates.
Messrs. Wright and Rowc, tho nomi.
necs of tho Democratic Convcn lion, have
both accepted their nominations tenderod
ihom, in frank and manly style, placing
themselves upon the Democratic platform,
ignoring past dilierenccs, and avowing
their unalterable faith in the principles of
the democratic party, and their bolief in
the high mission it is daily fulfilling, in
disseminating tbedoctrines of equal rights
end the greatest good to the greatest num
ber.
We have heretofore refrained from al
uding specially to thoso gentlemen, deem
ing it prudent to await the rosult of the
'great Convention" which was to be, but
did not take place thai is, the great part
of it at llarrisburg last Wednesday ; ns it
bad been charged that one of them be
cause of his anti-Lecompton views, would
not accept the Democratic nomination,
but would act with tho Forneyites. This
w were not willing to believe of as up
right a man as John Rowe, of Franklin,
but we awaited with the expectation, in
Which we have not been disappointed'
that Mr. Rowe would lay bis viows .before
the public at an curly date, and thus leave
no doubt about bis position. A well known
anti-Lecompton Democrat, tho Conven
tion, having full confidence in his ability
and integrity, did not Hesitate lo nomi'
nato him, thus showing that that was no
longer a living issuo in tho Democratic
party. And it is only the treason of as
piring bad men, which continually drags
it into remembrance. It will yet prove
tho incubus to strangle thoir political ex
istence. ,

abusive character characterizing tho ad

when applied to such patriots us (Jen. Cass,

Tho Convention repudiated the candi

This they defer to a committee to bo ap

Mr. KniTnn: Sir: It is customary, we
believo, for those who wish, to announce,
about this time, the names of their favor
ite candidates for Governor. I think it
very noccssary that the people bo made
acquainted with tho name and character
of every person brought beforo them for
their lonsulcratiou, and 1 write thus e.iny
to allbrd amnio titno for the purpose. The
party will, doubtless, next time, bo more
particular than they havo lately been in
their celeclion of a candidate, and will at
least, endeavor to rest llieir choico upon
an houc-t and able man and a Democrat,
alui one jy whom they will no, bo betray
ed tho first opportunity tli.it oilers. Such
a mn, and mch a Democrat, havo wo in
Ifou. James Macmani's, of liellofonte, Cen
tre county. This gcntli'tnan is widely
known as an r.bloaud faithful practitioner
of law, and as an eminent legislator. In
tho hitter capacity ho has very few equals,
jud no superiors in any o(uarter of the
State. To this fact Ceutro county can
well testify, as she has several times been
very ally represented by him at the State 1
Ci'pitol. (ilten ilul the wings men rep
ruientins their constituencies, feel the'.
force of hi3 logic, and the effect of his cut
ting sarcasm. As to his course as a Demo
crat, every one who is acquainted with it
know ? it to have been always consistent,
always straight forward, always honest;
and with his high qualifications for the
position of Governor of the old Keystone
State, wo recommend him to the favora
ble consideration of all truo Democrats.

for the office of Surveyor-' lonoral of the

In fine wo can aver

there was not ore vote taken by the Con
