STATE CONVEI4TION.
The Democratic State E,,,recutive Committee of
Pennsylvania, at a tnehi:mg hold In the city 'of
Harrisburg, cm the3fielr ult.. unnertnotraty resolved
to elicit the views of the Democracy of tbb "old
Keystone" in teferenco.. to—tha_ present terrible
crisis of our National affairs. •
Tho failure or the Republffia.n party to meet,
in a proper spirit of concession and compromise,
the overtures made for alts: adjustment of our Na
tional difficulties, renders it necessary that the
united Democracy of this Commonwealth should
take prompt, decided; and energetic action in the
premises,
, We are in the midst of a revolution brought

;Arty, a pririy seationut in Its awns and sectional
to its principles. Six of our sister sovereign
States him already withdrawn--from the Federal
Union, and others threaten speedily to follow.—
The Democratic party, ever faithful to the Consti
tution and the laws, seriously deprecates this de
plornble condition o f: our common and beloved
country. The peril now impending is the natural
result of a departure from the true Ldinsfilittiutial
doctrines stendfastly maintaineini theTieninefa

Ancient and tilici-lionn'icd principles. It is not
neves:eel to feeall the glories Of the past—it is
onlY decessary to' be rein bided of the dangers of
t:bz present. Whatever the future may hay. to
elm . ° for the American people—tyhethor peace
shall continue within our borders, or our land he
rent with fraternal strife , ---itnow becomes the sol
emn and imperative duty of the Democratic par
ty, the only true conservator of the Union, the
Constitution, and the "equality of the States," to
give a full expression of opinion upon the dan •
goys which threaten Constitutional liberty and
4uonace the rights of all the States of this Confed
eracy. Therefore, io accordance with the unani
mous recommendation of the Democratic Exam- .

Lebanon, February 6,-11360.
air At the meeting of the Demo
cratic State Executive Committee,
last week, it was resolved that a State
Convention be held at Harrisbtrrg, on
the 21st of February, for the purpose
of procuring a free and full expres
sion of sentiment relative to the
alarming state of our national
The Democratic party of Pennsylva
nia is. conservative, and in that no
doubtrepresents the opinions of three
fourth of thepecrple of the State, and
an expression froth Ain grand con
vention assembled, will have great
weight, it is to be hoped, in bringing
peace and quiet to the country.
WAR ! WAR ! ! WAR ! ! !—The shouts of
the Republicans for coercion andwar
at this era of trouble in the land are
notewortty, They are endeavoring
to get up a war feeling against the
southern states, and then plunge the
country into misery and ruin;--and,
for what'? To extort the substance
of the people in the shape -of taxes,
and provide offices for a hotao -of
needy drones who cannot be proviata
for in times of peace. The opposi
tion, as a party, were not always thus.
When a foreign powerful foe invaded
our country in 1812-15 they held an
ti•wnr meetings, Hartford conventions
and, in general, opposed and decried
the patriotic defenders of the coun
try. •In the war with Mexico they
werb guilty of an equiliy despicable
conduet; tindin 'rill 'the other difficul
ties we have 'had 'With 'fiercip and ov
erbearing powers in de'fonne 'of 'our
rights they never gave a hearty sup
port to the, measures of the govern.
runt. Nov, when the contest is
with our fellow citizens—with our
brethren of nearly a century, they
cry aloud--not for conciliation and
oampromise—but "subdue them ! co
erce them I vindicate the laws ! by
the strong arm of the military." We
are opposed to war, and trust the Re
publican party will also speedily p.ur
she a course of action that will lead
to a settlement of the difficulties
peaceably, and thus avoid the destruc
tion of property and shedding of
blood which will inevitably follow if
they persevere in their present poli-
Acy of "coercion."

not the want of laws, but the disre

better. security of the rights of all
section's of the country under the con

our National difficulties ?" shout the
Republicans. It is the duty of every
lover of his country at present tb lend a
helping hand in restoring 'peace, and
as is apparent the -Democrats are not
backward 'in -their - ell'orts. Would
that Lincoln could be indtided also to
contribute his mite to the guod work !
But, why don't the Democrats set
tle it ? is the question asked. The
Democrats battled against abolition
ism, and for the constitutional rights
of all sections of the country, and
:the enforcement of the laws, for twen
ty-five years. In their good offices
they have 'been at last overcame and
borne' down by fanatilArh Ind Mis
representation. In theirpresent pow
erless condition it would be folly for
any section to look to them for a vin
dication of rights and security against
wrong. The republican party is king;
it is feared; and to it the Union men
of the South look for an assurance
that their rights will be respected.—
Why don't they .give it to them,
if they inlen'd that their administra
tion shall be national, and not section
al, as the Chicago convention declar
ed the republican party to be.

Notwithstanding the imminent dan
gi•'shrrounding the institutions of
our country, and to which the
oppo
sition in Congress have neither time
nor inclination to attend, they never
theless do not lose sight of providing
a full Treasury for the incoming ad.
ministration. "Everythingin reason,"
but we do think, under the circum

priation are extravagant. For in
stance, Mr. Sherman has reported a
bill authorizing, the President to boy

Now that should be enough to start
neon, but the committee_of Ways and
Means has also a bill before the _House,
and which will no doubt pass before
the 4th of March, so as not to throw
the responsibility upon the new ad
minstration, authorizing the -Bresi 7
dent to borrow„ in aildfrgpri , ,t6 the

SPECIAL - .MESSAGE _FROM THE
PRESIDENT..
To he Senate and LAMM of Representatives of
the United Suites:
rde'etn it my duty to =Knit to Congress a se
;ries .of 'resolutions adopted,by the Legislature of
- Virginia on thelfith instant, having in view a
peaceful - letileibeut of tile existing questions
which now threaten the Union. TOO were de
livered to me on Thursday, the 24th instant, by
Ex-Presideut Tyler, who has left his dignified
and honored "retirement iu the hope that he may
render service to his country in this its hour of
peril. These resolutions, it will be perceived, ex
tend an invitation to all such States whether
slaveholding or non-slavoholdinf, as are 'willing
to unite with Virginia in an earnest effort to ad
just the present unhappy controversies i in the
spirit in which the Constitution was originally
formed, and consistently with its principles, so
as to afford to the people of the slaveholding
States adequate guarantees for the security of
their rights, to appoint commissioners, tomcat on
the 4th day of February next, in the city of
Washington similar commissioners appointed by
Virginia, to consider and if practicable, agree
upon some suitable adjustment. I confess I bail
this movement on the part of Virginia with great
satisfaction. From the past history of this an
cient and renowned Couicsopitpalth wo have the
fullest assurance that what she has undertaken
she will accomplish, if it eau be done by able,
enlightened, and porserving efforts. It is highly
gratifying to know that other patriotic States
have appointed, and aro appointing commission
ers to meet those of Virginia in council.
When usseffibled, they Will constitute a body
entitled in an eneinentdegree ' . p) the etinfitlence
of the country. The General Vit.-
ginia have also resolved that ex-President John
Tyler is hereby appointed, by conearrent vote of
each-branch of the General Assembly, a commis
sioner to the kresident of the United States and
jiadgelohn ItotertsOn is hireby appointed by a
like vote, a cointnissioner tO Smith Carolina and
duo other States that have seceded, or shall se
cede, with instructions respectfully to request the
President of the United States and the authori
ties of' such Stateslo agree to abstain, pending
the proceedings contemplated by the action' of
this Generally Assembly, from any and all acts
calculated to produce a collision of arms between
the States and the Government of the United
States.
However strong may be my desire to enter in.
to such an agreement, I am eonvinced that I do
not possess the power.. Congress, and Congress
alone under the war:making power, can exercise
the discretion of agreeing to abstain from any
and all acts calculated to produce a collision of
arms between this or any other Government. It
would, therefore, be a usurpation for the Execu
tive to attempt to restrain their bands by an
agreement in regard to matters over which he has
no constitutional control. If he ware thus to act
there might pass laws which he should be bound
to obey, though it conflict with his agreement.
Underxistingeircumstancesony present ac
tual pniier is ermined within harrow limits. It
Is my ditty at all tines to &bread and Protect the
public property within the seceding States, so
far as this may be practicable, and especially to
employ the constitutional means to protect the
property of the United States, and to protect the
public peace nt this the seat of the Federal Gov
ernment. If the seceding States abstain from
any and all acts calculated to produce a collision
of arms, then the danger so muds to be depreca
ted will no longer exist. Defence, and not ag
gression, has been the policy of the Administra
tion from the beginning. But whilst I can enter
into no engagement such as that proposed, I cor-
Wally commend to Congress, with much confi
dence that it will meet their approbation, to ab
stain from passing any law calculated to produce
a collision of arms, pending the proceedings con
templated by the action of the General Assembly
of Virginia. lam one of those who will never
despair of the liepublio. I yet cherish the be
lief that the American people will perpettiate the
Union of the States on some terms just and , hon
orable for all sections of the country. I trust
that the mediation of Virginia may ho the design
ed means under Providence of accomplishiag this
inestimable benefit. Glorious as are the memo
ries of her past history, such an achievement,
both in relation hyper own fame and the welfare
of the whole country, would surpass thefts all.

After a brief recess the Committee made the
fellow ing report; whieh was adopted unonimousin
Wrioneas, The dismemberment of the Union,
by the withdrawal of the slave-holding States,
now in rapid progress, has been occasioned by a
departure from the Democratic construction of
the Constitution of .the United States, which
holds "the equality of the States of the Confeder
acy," in reepeet to persons and property, to be a
fundamental principle of such Constitution, and
by a contemplated abandonment of the conserv
ative Democratic policy which has, for sixty
veers past, sacredly guarded "the, rights of the
States," and developpti the resources and is, opaci
ties of the peeple,l32D4mcf.atielegislation; thus
guiding the whole country to an euilbeneof pros

And - Whereas; A speedy recognition of the p -
triotic counsels and conservative policy of the
Democratic party in the Administration of the
Federal Government, by the people of Pennsyl
vania and of the other non-slavehol ding States,
is the only and sure means of effecting a permit
mon t re-construction of a dissolving Confederacy:
And Whereas, The organization of the Demo

stone of the Federal Arch," now harmonious, pc,.

the true principles of the Constitution, irentire
ly competent, if called into immediate action, to
restrain threathened sectional violence and to
materially aid in reconstructing the federative
system on a basis of perpetuity; therefore,

0::!7 - The following is the telegraphic
report of the speech delivered - by Mr.
Killinger, in Congress, on Friday last.
IL will be seen that he is for concili
ation, compromise, and peace:
Mr, KILLINGRR, of Pennsylvania, said that
our system of government has withstood the eor
rotting touch of years, the amnia of faction, and
the shock of war. It cannot expire until the
power which breathed vitality into its checks
and balances is annihilated, which was that of
the American people. The Revolutionary mem
ories were yet green, and the solemn pledges to
its maintenance by our patriotie- ancestry still
whisper their inspiration. Its authority contin
ues supreme on all subjects-within the sphere of
its jurisdiction and the range of its grartted
powers. "We are moving in de :midst eiflhe
revolution which was contemplating We disinp
tion of the Union and the overthrow of the Con
stitution.
The dignity of the Government must be as
serted and the laws executed, at all hazards. To
temporize with traitors find negotiate with treason
was to admit our system of government to be a
failure, to invite anarchy, and to borrow future
trouble. The assumption that the Constitution
and the laws were no longer operative in a State
because as ordinance bad been passed, was fella-
Claus, and is in conflict with the whole current
of authririty. They aro not the meatien of any
one or more Stems—they are the offspring of the
nopultir will. They. contain within themselves
the means of "self preservation, and, this is the
keystone of our constitutional arch. -Disaffection
is rapidly spreading in the Border Stater, and the
serpent of Secess:un must be throttled before it
has enfolded in, its ilie'seleyal com
munities. It Was 'a solemn'duly An . itrengthen
the bands and nerve the hearts of the Union-lev.
ing men in those Stater. Ile appealed to the Re
publican party to give their propositions a candid
consideration.
Let the Border States mitietain the Federal au
thority and renounce the heresy, of secession for
all time to come, and he would meet them half
way in the spirit of conciliation. Pennsylvania
was moderate in her views and 'pacific in her
counsels. The Constitutiori was the result of
mutual concession, and in that spirit ho would
meet loyal men in consultation in this grave ex
igency. But if all efforts failed,. he was willing
to refer tho'whele controversy to the people, the
source ofl . all power. lie objected to the annexa
tion of Mika territory. The' Protection of slav
ery there would be resisted, wilkiffore the foun.
Min of - bitter waters insteed, !Wheeling compro
mise. The Territorial question is practically de
cided in favor of free, labor. None is left for
controversy crept New Mexico, and its admis
sion would relnove t t be whole subject from Con
gress forever. This, would be a virtual restora
tion of the Missouri Compromise line.
The homestead gene); and the Pacific Rail
road would soon pasS, and cause the wilderness to
bloom with hip:p:yllemes,,and he the inauguration
o f an advancing Civilization, which will make
the whole land sualilwith the bum of industry.
Better than all, the tariff would pasi, and be a
measure of peace and a bond of union. All we
need to make those measures and prospects 'avitil.
able for the prosperity of the country, are the re
storation of peace and a continuance of the Uni
on. It is no time for partizanship. Mere plat
forms hastily constructed in the excitement of
crowded Conventions, would not discharge men
from the responsibilities they owe before God
and their country. When next the ballot-boxes
open, and send forth their thunders, vengeance
would be taken on all platforms, and parties
which obstinalely reject all propositions of con
ciliation and peace.
The disgust of the Administrations, the hope
of relief to the suffering industrial interests, and
confidenbe in the honesty of Mr. Lincoln, carried
Pennsylvania, as. Welt as the opposition ,
. to slav
ery ex t er oen - , The Abolitifinists eletitent sym
pathized With the nullifiers, and rejoiced at the
fulfilment of their - joint purpose, the dissolution,
of the Union. dePrecuted changes in the or.
genie law, and preferred Congressional legisla
tion to constitutional amendments. Once let
open the door, and foots would rush in where an
gels fear to tread. But the controversy must
have a peaceful solution. The gulf was not so
wide that it. cannot be spanned by concilition,nor
:yet so deep that it cannot he fathomed by mutual
forbearance. Ho eulogized Mr. Crittenden as the
last of the statesmen which the Whig party gave
to the country. He was wort by to wear the man tie
of the immortal Henry Clay. Ile complimented
Maryland, and said that Pennsylvania will stand
shoulder to shoulder with her patriotic Governor.
He gazed with pride on the memorials of patriot
ism which adorn her Monumental city like altars
of devotion, and prayed God that so long as the
mute but eloquent statue of the Father of his
Country looked down from his pedestal, ho would
plead trumpet tongued for the maintenance of
the Union and the Constitution:
DOINGS IN CoNGRBSS
Only one branch of Congress was in session on
Saturday, the 26th ult.,—the Which
the proceedings were quite interesting. Lea!re
was , granted to 111 r. Grow, of Penusylvania to in
troduce a resolution instructing the Select Com

bia, the object of which is the seizure of the Cap
itol and other Federal buildings, and whether
any officer of the city or of the Federal Govern
ment is a member thereof. The resolution met
with considerable opposition, end wised the ex
hibition of some bad feeling on account of its
impertinence and it only passed under the oper%

of Columbia was instructed, on motion of Mr.
Hughes, of Maryland, to inquire into the expo : -
1 diency of retroceding a portion of the District of
Columbia to that State. 'Mr. Stanton, of Ohio,
,introducect,a bill , which was subsequently passedi

to organize the militia of the District. The
I Committee of ways and Means was instructed to
consider the expediency of repealing the duty on

motion of Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania, and the
Kansas bill was finally passed with the Senate

Special Committee' of five - on the President's
Message - sent in on the lth inst., were granted

to report from time to titne.suelt matters as thny

Nevv.York;intrediced a bill authorizing the Gov

Mr. Seward on Thursday, gave another ex

'of tti - 4country, on the occasion of the 'presenta
tion by hiin to the
,Sonete of the monster petitiOn
from citizens of Now -York, praying for some
adjustment of the'present difficulties. The pe
tition is signed by 63,000 persons and would Mr.
Seward stated, reach three times across the Sen
ate Chamber. In presenting the petition, Mr.
Seward said that the great questions now Con
vulsing the country wilt be settled, and peacea
bly settled. We pray his prediction to ho verified;
but as yet be and bia friends have done nothing
but make fair promises. Mr. Seward was fol
lowed by Senators Mason, Douglas, Hale, Wig
fall and others, in probably the most interesting
debate which has occurred thus far during the
sesion of Congress. In the House a bill was pre
sented by Mr. Morehead, of PennsYlvania, to
prevent the counterfeiting of private stamps, in..
hire, etc. The Judiciary Committee was instruct

being referred.to allow Mr. Adirtus, of Massa
chusetts, to ins ke a speech on the; report of the
Committee of Thirty. three.
Congressional proceedings, on Friday, were in
teresting, in view of the facts that for the first
time the voice of California was heard on the
National troubles, through the mouth of one of
her Senators, and that Texas showed her hand
for the tnion through one of her Representa
tives. It the Senate, Mr. Ten Eytik presented
the resolutions of the Legislature of New Jersey
in favor of the Crittenden Compromise. The
President's message was then taken np for fur
ther consideration, and Mr. Lathan', of Califor
j nia, proceeded to address the Senate. When be
I had concluded, the Tariff bill was reported from
the Select Committee, with amendments; and
the Diplomatic, and the Executive -and Judicial
Appropriation bills were passed. In the Reese,
Mr. Sherman, from the Committee of Ways and
Means ' reported a bill authorizing the President,
before Ist of July next, to borrow $26,000,000,
should so much he found necessary. Mr. Rel
logg, of Illinois, offered a substitute for the re
port of the Special Committee of Thirty-three.—
Subsequently, the report was considered in Com
mittee of the Whole, and Mr. Hamilton, of Tex
as,, made a stung Union zpe.4.;ch. He was foi
-1 lowed by Mr. •Stokes, of Tennessee, who also
' made a telling speech for the. Union. An even
ing session was held for general debate.
THE KIND.—The Republicans are
free to admit that their sectional or
ganization is destroyed—among the
things that Were, 'and would have the
people liefieve that tFio Democratic
party is in 'the same tchidition. In
this they make a iiiiMb i aq. The Debt
deratic party, 61t1166 - gli defeated;lfill
'lives, and is this day the same glori
ous, powerful and indestructible par
ty it ever was,—a little more so than
heretofore. It is not based on the
excitements of the moment, btit
never dying principles.

TEE PECULIARITIES of the female
constitution and the various trials to which the sex is

It is important, however, that these shell be of a harm

end. Ilestetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters is the ve

magical. It restores-the tune of the digestive organs,
infuses fretiltsitality ionsfthewbole.system, and gives
that .eheerfulness to the teniperamont, which is the

feel flattered from the fact that many of the most prom

THE —REAP 'FEMALE MEDICINE.--
The functional irregularities peculiar to the weaker
sex, are invariably corrected without pain or inconve
nience by the use of Judson'a Mountain Herb Tills.—
They are the safest and surest medicine for all the dis
eases incidental to females of alleges, and more cape.
Malty so in this climate.
Ladies who wish to enjoy health should' always have
these Pills. No one who over uses them once will allow
herself to be wA i hout them. They remove all obstruc
tions, purify the blood and give to the skin that beau
tiful, clear and healthful look so greatly admired in a
beautiful and healthy woman.. At certain periods these
Pills are an indispensable companion. From one to four
should be'taken each day, until relief is obtained. A
few doses, occasionally, will keep thesystem so healthy,
and the blood so pure, that diseases cannot 'enter' tho
