State Convention.
JJAIIE Citizens of Philadelphia and of the
several counties of the Commonwealth
opposed to the " Lecompton Swindle," and
the despotic policy of the National Adminis
tration in forcing upon the people of Kansas
a Constitution in defiance of their known
wishes, and in subversion of the great right
of self government; and in favor of a Sound
American policy in opposition to the policy
and intrigues of foreign governments, are re
quested to send Delegates, equal in number
to their Representatives and Senators, in the
State Legislatures, to meet in Convention at
! Harrisburg, in the Hall of the House of Rep
resentatives, on THURSDAY, the Bth day of
July, 1858, at 2 o'clock, p. in., to nominate
State Officers, and transact such other business
as the exigencies may demand.
By order of the State Committee.

State Convention.
Ry a call in our paper ot to-day, it will
be seen that there will be a State Conven
tion of the Opposition at Harrisburg, on
Thursday, the Bth day of July. for the nom
ination of State Officers and the transaction
of such other business as may be deemed
expedient. The call embraces all who are
opposed to the Lecompton swindle and the
despotic policy of the National Adminis
tration in forcing upon the people of Kan
sas a Constitution in defiance of their
known wishes, and in subversion of the
great right of self-government. The ground
upon which action is desired, and co-ope
ration invited, is broad and comprehensive.
There is in it no policy broached that
should not secure for it a hearty and gene
ral response, and that is not eminently just,
conservative and national.
The Philadelphia Daily News takes
ground against the movement, though as
no sacrifice of principle is asked from any
one it is difficult to conceive from what mo
tive. For our part, we hope the opposi
tion of this comity will see proper to have
a representative at the convention, and not
find fault with it before it is held.
Democracy South and Xerth.
The Montgomery (Alabama) Mail of
May 12, in an article on reopening the
slave trade, says:
We consider that slaves are property as
much as mules or horses, that we have a right
to buy property wherever we can obtain it j
cheapest, that as our eloquent Alabamian well
remarks, the federal navy has no more right j
to restrict the importation of slaves than it has
that of Maltese Jacks, and that the laws
which allow yankee traders to import jacks
and forbid Southern planters from importing
slaves are a statutory reminder of Southern
degradation and dishonor. We believe that
those laws are unconstitutional and tyranni- '
cal, and that it should be the endeavor of
every Southern Representative to obtain their
repeal.
If negroes in Africa who may be stolen
or sold by those who have no right but
might to sell are property, this argument
is reasonable enough; but what says the
Democrat to such a doctrine ? Is democ
racy here and in Alabama the same?
Americans of Blair county met
in convention on Thursday last and nomi
nated the following ticket:
Assembly—Jacob Burley, of Tyrone.
Sheriff—James Funk.
Prothonotary—Joseph Baldridge.
Commissioner—Enos M. Jones.
Poor Director—John B. Riddle.
Coroner—William Fox.
Auditor—J. S. Nickodemus.
A republican convention is to meet to
day, which we hope will unite with the
above so as to make young Blair sound
again on the goose question.

V&'A.n arrival at New York reports an ex
citing scene in the harbor of Sagua la Grande,
Cuba. The commander of the British gun
boat Buzzard attempted to compel Capt. Bart
lett, of the American ship Clarendon, to ex
hibit his papers. The ship was first fired at
with blank cartridges and then the British
officr with one hundred men proceeded to
board her. Capt. Bartlett refused to allow
any but the officer to come on beard, and he
was forced finally to leave without examining
the ship's papers
Wholesale Denunciation of our Citizens.
The Democrat of this place some weeks
ago gave currency to a rumor, brought here
by an employee of the Railroad Company
at Patterson, that the shops, &c. at that
place were to be removed to Lewistown
Station. The Juniata Register of last
week, in its anxiety to defeud the twin
cities below the Narrows, published the
following characteristic production :
" The idea of the removal of the shops from
Patterson to Lewistown, suggested in the
Democrat, originated with the editor, in whom
no doubt, the " wish wasfathertothe thought
Although there is not one word of truth in
the above " information," yet so firmly is it
believed in Lewistown that all the old ladies
are wearing new caps on the head of it. If
the Democrat, in the fullness of its informs
tion, had stated a few of the "several reasons"
which make the removal of the Machine
Shops necessary, it would have been more
satisfactory to the public, and might have had
the appearance of truth ; as it is, the only
reason assigned, the " insufficiency of ground
for buildings," appenre laughable and ridic
ulous to all persons except those who see eve
rything thveugh the magnifying influence ®f
a* " wild cat" hank. The location ef the
Machine Shops at Patterson has long been a
terrible eye-sore to "old town," and since
the Commonwealth has disposed of her ca
nals and public improvements, it is "essen
tially necessary" to the existence of the "di
lapidated village" that she derive bread, but
ter end support from the Railroad Company
or a rag paper factory. Indeed, the anxiety
to obtain the shops at the " most desirable
point between Ilarrisburg and Pittsburg" has
becu so great in the " desirable jjoint," as we
have been iuformed from a credible source,
that it was proposed to the P. R. R.' Co. that
if thev would remove the shops from Patter
son, the new buildings and improvements
would be put up at the "desirable point."
free of all cost and expense to the Company.
| and that the next Legislature would remove
the Tonnage tax. The proposition of a "one
hcree town" on the Juniata to put up shops
l and improvements at a cost of over half a
| million dollars, when it has not money enough
' to build a -dec-eat pig-pen, is decidedly the
richest juka of the season. If the rumor be
! true, and we believe it, that a subscription is
1 now being taken for that purpose, we sug
I gpst for the credit of the " concern," that the
money be applied to the payment of honest
debts, in the redemption of bank notes, and
| the balance, if any there be, to postpone the
j inevitable bankruptcy that must ensue in
' case the weevil shiuhl again visit the wheat
wf the Big Valley. The climax of brazen im
pudence was certainly reached when the offer
was made to take the oc ntract for the remo
val of the Tonnage tax. They ought to
have the contract! partieuhirly after getting
all the "augers," "borers" and "pumps" in
| the State of Pennsylvania, they couldn't en
gineer a bank bill through the Legislature.
There is one thing certain, that if the P. 11
R. Co. want the Tonnage tax removed, they
will never go to Lewistown for assistance,
j Last Winter when the lewistown bank bill
was before the Legislature a friend of the
measure approached a member of the House
! and asked his vote and influence in behalf of
the bank bill. The member replied that lie
did not intend to support it. " Why," said
the friend, 'the hill 19 a good or.e—note hoi
! dors secured Ly State stocks and real estate.
Have you examined it?" The racmb- r said
that he had not and did not intend to exam
ine it, for the name and place would kill it."
With all that relates to the Democrat we
have nothing to do, hut with the wholesale
libel of our citizens by this ''pig-pen" gen
tleman and his "cow.-table" brother of the
Sentinel, we have so much to do that we
J shall at least make known that the former
is J. (irccr, an apostate politi
cian who has gone through the chrysaiine
stages of a whig, a knownothing, a repub
lican, and a red-mouthed locofoco in the
space of four years, and is therefore a tit
representative of that rare class who, to
gratify some petty malevolence will revile
many citizens of his native county with
low and ungentlemanly abuse. The Sen
tinel has an article so similar in tone, mere
ly substituting "cowstable" for Greer's pig
pen, that the conclusion is almost irresisti
ble they were concocted at one ami the
same time in just two such places. The
latter we do not know, and as he has shown
his aptitude for being one of the black
guards of the profession, have no desire to
know.
Our town, it is true, has suffered much
from the depression of business incident to
the times, from the failure of the Lewis
town Hank, and more recently by the crash
of the Lancaster, and vre have undoubtedly
had, and still have, what is denominated
hard times; but this is by no means con
fined to the town, as the agricultural com
munity in reality suffer more from the want
of money than we do here. A few failures
have taken place, hut the combined failures
hardly amount to a recent single one in
Juniata county —and notwithstanding the
assertion of these hirelings of owe poverty,
applications for money loans by citizens of
•Juniata county arc by no means "few or
far between. Hesides our one-horse pop
ulation is so much greater than the mag
nificent village with more gravestones on
its hillside than inhabitants, that the ordi
nary business of a day here causes a circu
lation of more money than the product of
a week there—at least we judge so from
the fact that a gentleman from Juniata
county a few months ago stated in Russell's
Hanking House that if "it were not for the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company we (the
people of Mifflintown and Patterson) would
starve /" We say this from no disrespect
to the citizens of that county, for although
like all communities infested with
acoundrelt, their want of means and pro
duce does not render them the less honest
or respectable.
The acts of a few men oosrht not always
to be shouldered on the many. That the
Lewi stow n Bank failed was more the fault
of a loose banking system than any other;
that the Lancaster Bank failed, may be
attributed to the same cause, and not to the
communities deceived by their management.
In both cases the people of Lancaster and
Lewistown placed faith in those who con
trolled those institutions, and to such an
extent that thousands of dollars were taken
in payments up to the hour of closing their
doors; and in the case of Mr. ltusscll, who
was then only partially paying out Lancas
ter money, £BOOO were received at his
Banking House on deposit and in payment
of notes not due, on a day when all believed
the bank had failed—every dollar of which
lie has since repaid. Many others who
have been or are now in business —and they
number hundreds—are known in-most pla
ces in and out of the cities as men of in
tegrity arid ability, who have never failed
to meet their obligations, yet all these are
set down by two mountebanks, neither of
whom probably Owns a pig-pen or a cow
stable, as poverty stricken to such a degree
that they could not build such outhouses.
When either of these gentlemen next sets
foot in a decent house in Lewistown, the
owner would be doing no-more than justice
by kicking him out of doors.
We do not know what motive could
prompt Greer and his noble brother" to
attack the "wild cat" bank for which a
charter was sought for last winter. We
were not its special advocate, yet as it had
the merit of requiring mortgages on valua
ble real cstat<-, stock security, and a specie
basis lor the redemption of its notes, we
were willing that the experiment should he
tried, and supposed that as none but those
who would thus encumber their property
could well be tfco losers, even anti-bank
democrats could not object to an experiment
which might test the possibility of securing
note-holders —a feature which individual
liability and all other bank inventions has
thus far failed to secure. We leave them
however in the hands of the '• wild cat"
gentlemen who took part in the concern,
some of whom ngiy possibly send Greer
their dogtypes on an occasion when he ma\
not desire to see them.
Kxcept a desire that such reus v-al should
take place, the whole story of promises,
subscriptions, tonnage ta-x, and their ac
companiments, are the coinage of distem
pered brains, the owners of which are rather
to be pitied than condemned for their
muddled condition.

Holloway's Ointment and Pills. —The dis
tempers which manifesttheisaelvMexternaliy,
destroying comeliness as well as inflicting
immeasurable agony, are readily controlled
by the Ointment. Salt rheum, ring worm,
tetter, scald head, scurvy, white-swelling, and
all ordinary eruptions, are not only immedi
ately relieved by this preparation, but perma
nently removed. The pores should first be
opened by fomenting the surface with warm
water, and then the Ointment rubbed into the
skin thus prepared to absorb it. It will at
once strike into the muscular system that
underlies the cuticle, and extinguish the fibrile
elements in the blood which create and keep
up the exterior irritation. This result is in
evitable, and the cure will be entire and per
manent. The Pills will be found a useful
auxiliary in all external disorders.
Consumption can be Cured.
Sir James Clark, Physician to Queen Vic
toria, and one of the most learned and skilful
men of the age, in his " Treatise" on Con
sumption, says —"That Pulmonary Consump
tion admits of a cure is no longer a matter of
doubt; it has been clearly demonstrated by
the "researches of Laonnec and other modern
Pathologists." The mere fact that such a
disease is ever curable, attested by such un
impeachable authority, should inspire hope
and reanimate courage in the heart of every
sufferer from this disease. The remedy which
we offer has cured thousands. Wistar's Bal
sam of Wild Cherry not only emanates from
a regular physician, but has been well tested
in all the complaints for which it is recom
mended. None genuine unless signed I.

TREASURER'S SALE.- —Property holders
are requested to examine the list of un
seated lands and of lots, &c. entered ac
cording to act of assembly for non-payment
of taxes, as published on our outside to-day.
The period covered by this sale-goes back
for ten years, so that property which has
repeatedly changed owners in that time
might prove to be in the list under a former
owner's name, and thus may be sold with
out the present one being aware of the
incumbrance. In town we know of several
iustances where this has occurred, the pres
ent owners having been totally unconscious
of the fact until their attention was drawn
to it, and the same thing may occur in
other parts of the county. Our readers
therefore will do well to examine the list
closely, and save both trouble and expense
by paying the tax and charges be/ore the
sale, should their property be in it under
the name of a former owner.
The Military Spirit. —The recent militia
law has had the effect of stirring "up quite
a military fever among the young and mid
dle aged, two companies, one of infantry
and one of cavalry, being already in pro
cess of organization. The law allows
$1,50 to each '• soger" for six days training,
to which may be added a regimental train
ing, and to cavalry $2 per day lor each
horse in addition. At first sight this
expense does not seem unreasonable, but
in our opinion our S7OO per session legisla
ture must have been blind or d—k when
they passed the bill, as any one can figure
out. Suppose, fbr instance, four compa
nies of 50 men each should be formed in
this county, two of "cavalry and two of in
fantry, with a regimental training, the av
erage expense for each man would be about
S2O; making the snug sum of S4OOO per an
num to be paid in this county for''sogering!"
At present the pay is to conic out of the
military fund, but . s tliis will not be suf
ficient, we suppose the State treasury will
be attacked. A muss will also probably be
kicked up should an attempt be made to
enforce the collection of militia tax from
minors between the ages of' 1$ and 21, who
are made liable to pay 50 cents per annum.
Dr. Bower, our member, and Mr. Fetter,
our Senator, both voted for this bill, and it
is therefore we presume thoroughly demo
cratic, and to the liking of heavy demo
cratic taxpayers, who will at least have to
aid in footing the hills. If they arc con
tent, we arc.
Bou> ROBBERIES. —A number ofdwel
ings were entered on Monday night by
some experienced tliief or thieves, who
from the confidence with which houses
are entered probably use ether, chloroform,
or some other influence to quiet sleepers.
At Mrs. McKee's house, on Main Street,
the thief was discovered on the balcony by
some of the inmates and ejected under the
supposition that he was a prowler seeking
a place to sleep. At Charles S. McCoy's
he entered at the back door, made his way
to the bed room, took therefrom Mr. Mc-
Coy's clothing, which lie carried into the
parlor below, rifled two portmonaies of their
contents, consisting of a ten dollar Erie
bank note, two fives, and four or five dol
lars of other money, leaving everything
else undisturbed. At Mr. Benedict's he
also succeeded in rifling a pocket book in
the same way, but of what amount we do
not know. Mr.Willis's honse was also en
tered, and probably several others, as some
one was heard m various yards and buil
dings. Two men who let! here in the
down train were arrested at Ilurrisburg on
their arrival there, but succeeded in clear
ing their skirts of the charge. Two oth
ers, probably the parties, left town on foot
about seven o'clock, inquiring their rcay to
Pittsburg. At Mifflintown we hear simi
lar feats were performed, the pocket book
of Hon. A. Parker having been abstracted
in the same way. At Altoona last week
a number of pocket books were ri
fled in one night, making it pretty clear
that some experienced hands are going
backwards and forwards on the Railroad
between Harrisburg and Pittsburg.
An attempt was made to enter the store
of Blymyer A Brisbin on Tuesday night,
which was frustrated by Mrs. B. being up
nursing a eiok child. She raised a window
on healing some noise, which caused the J
thief to decamp.
JSajrThe weather continues wet and very :
unfavorable to corn planters as well as that !
already planted. Rain continues to fallal
most daily, with now and then a heavy
shower. The streams are all high.
