FOB GOVEBNOB. WILLIAM F. PACKER, Lyeoming Comity. FOB CANAL COMMISSIONER. NIMROD STRICKLAND, Chester Comity. Democratic State Convention. This body re-assembles at Harrisburg to-day, to nominate candidates for the Supreme Bench. We hear it intimated that a resolu tion will be offered in the Convention in oppo sition to the bill, passed by the Legislature giving the main line of the public works to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. We trust that such a resolution will be offered and unanimously adopted. A large majority # of the people of all parties are opposed to the iniquity—to this infamous'scheme for plun dering the Commonwealth of her most valua ble and important improvement and bestowing it upon a heartless, mammoth corporation, already grown proud and tyranical from the special privileges showered upon it by virtue of a plethorie purse. Let the resolution be passed, then, by all means. That it will meet with the hearty concurrence and support of the betrayed and deceived tax-payers of the State, there can be be no question. Let the issue be boldly made and met at the ensuiog State election, and there can be no doubt of the result. An Up-hill Bailnesi. The Pennsylvanian has commenced the herculean task of attempting to justify the infamous aet of the last Legislature, in giving away the Main Line to the Central Railroad Company, and strongly endorses that provis on of the bill which.exhonerates the company from tonnage and other taxation. . Our friend Rice will find it to be an exceedingly difficult undertaking, if he expects to convince any considerable portion of the people that it is either fair or honest to rob the, tax-payers for the purpose of enriching an overgrown mo nopoly which is mainly composed of foreign stockholders. One thing is very certain that he will fail in making any impression on the Democracy of the interior of the State, who look upon the measure as a fraud upon the rights of the people, and as a gross outrage upon public sentiment generally, and they will not hesitate to denounce it and insist up on its unconditional repeal by the next Legis lature. Some few of the Black Republican newspapers attempt a defence of this bill of abominations, but, we believe, the Pennsyl vanian is “ solitary and alone,” if we except, perhaps, the Evening Argus, amongst the Democratic journals of the Commonwealth, in its advocacy of the sale and in opposition to the repeal. Hon. Howell Cobb. The Bath (Maine) Times, of Thursday last, endorses the sentiments of the Lincoln Demo crat in its strong and powerful advocacy of this distinguished statesman fur the next Presidency. We fully agree with all the commendation so worthily bestowed upon Governor Cobb, and do not doubt that he would make an excellent Chief Magistrate. — He is a- sound and conservative National Dem ocrat, with ripe experience in statesmanship, combined with talents of a high order, and is therefore eminently fitted for the Presidency, and at the proper time we might be strongly inolined to join with the above mentioned pa pers in advocating his "nomination. But we respectfully suggest that it is entirely too soon to agitate- a question that will not be deoided short of three years to come. Besides, we have an exalted opinion of the patriotism and political character of-the Secretary of the Treasury, and should be sorry to see his use fulness in the Cabinet curtailed, or his bright prospects for tlie future damaged by any pre mature Presidential movement in his favor, which will undoubtedly be the case if such policy be persisted in. Instead of talking about the succession and bringing forward the names of our favorite candidates, it would be better, we think, for Democratic editors to devote all their energies, for the present at least, to the support of Mr. Buchanan’s administration, which is yet in its infancy—and not jeopard its success, in any way by mixing up his Cabinet, or any member of it, with a contest which is so re mote and uncertain. The present is an im portant era in the history of the Republic.— An immense responsibility rests upon the new administration; it should be left free to aot for the peace and prosperity of the country— entirely unembarrassed by any extraneous ques tions about the succession, &c. The questions growing out of our foreign and domestic policy are sufficiently embarrassing of themselves, and involve an amount of close attention and hard labor enough to occupy the whole time of every member of the Cabinet for the next two years at. least. Nor is ,tbis all. The country requires rest after the bitter and ex citing contest through which it has recently passed. The people do not desire to be kept in a continual turmoil about the Presidency. They decided that question in November last, for four years to come, and they expect a sea son of repose from their labors until the proper period for action arrives—but that time is not yet. We repeat, that there is no better man for the Presidency to be found any where than Mr. Cobb, and at the right time his numerous friends throughout the Union should speak out boldly in his favor —but let us have a little rest, and for the present all go in, heartland soul, to strengthen the hands of Mr. Buchanan and sustain him in the arduous duties to which he has been called by the voice of the American people. Washington Election Riot The Municipal election in Washington City, on yesterday week, was attended by serious disturbances and rioting at severaj of the voting places —occasioned by an influx of Bal timore Know-Nothing rowdies who went on there for the purpose of controlling the elec tion and defeating the Democratic ticket. The riot assumed such a serious aspect, that the Mayor was unable to quell it, until he obtained from the President an order to call out two companies of U. S. Marines, and proceeded with them to the Northern Liberties, whither the rioters had conveyed a swivel. The riot ers commenced firing which was returned by the Marines; killing some six or seven persons, and wounded a-great many more. Full par ticulars will be found in another column. During the evening an Artillery company from Fort MoHenry arrived to relieve the Marines. By midnight the streets were quiet, the rioters having been pretty well subdued. The Dem ocrats elected their candidates for Collector, Register, and a majority of the City Councils. BSL. The resolutions of the Students of the Chnrohtown Academy, on the death of J. Nelson Evans, were received too late for this week's issue. They will appear next week. ■ U. S. Dibectoby. —This promises to be a i most valuable publication.

' The Temperance fanaticism, says the Phil adelphia Argus, has run its course, and the result verifies the prediction and attests the wisdom of those who opposed its introduction' into politics, and saw only injury to the cause as the 1 result of the blind and Ijigoted zeal with which Temperance advocates plunged into the politcial arena, endeavoring to foist upon the people lawß at once violative of the Constitution and the rights of man. The great Temperance Reformation which had elicited so largely and so justly of the attention and co operation of the benevolentandhumane, began from that hour to decline, until now it has almost wholly lost its efficiency, and must begin and do its first work over again. Mr. Gough, the eloquent lecturer, recently bore testimony to the decline of the temperance cause, but he did not as he might have done, the cause of that decline. It is ascrib able solely to the excesses of the Temperance advocates, who have sought to over-ride the rights of the people by means of restrictive legislative enactments, but which, from their own inherent wrong, it has been impossible to enforce; and the moral influence of the re form being lost, the evil of intemperance has j proportionately .increased. The Sods of Tem perance have dwindled down from 200,000 to less than 50,000, and the life has about gone out of this ODce powerful organization. The “ Temperance ” papers have sunk into mere “ whippers-in ” of faction. The amount raised for lectures and temperance tracts is one-fifth of what it was five years ago. The Providence Post , speaking of this, and repelling some false assumptions of Neal Dow, before a Black Republican meetipg, says: Mr. Gough went further. He said that more liquor was sold in Massachusetts than he had ever before known, and that it was the same in the other States. Here, again, he spoke the truth ; and it is folly for Neal Dow to say that his statements are “ at variance with the facts.” We can testify for Rhode Island. Mr. Gough has known the State for fifteen years. We have-known, it as long, and we are sur§ more liquor is now sold in the State than has been sold at any former period within that time- We know that before Neal Dow’s machine went into operation—say six years —there were not one-fif'ch as many grog shops or one-fifth as many drunkards in the State as there are to-day. There were then seven towns where liquor was not sold openly or slyly. There were twelve or fifteen in which it was not sold openly ; and there were only five in which licenses were granted. Now it is sold openly in every one of the thirty-two towns; and .in Providence there are at least three times as many grog shops as there were then. In the town of Burrilville, six years ago, there was not a single grog shop. We have hud the Maine Law five years, and now there are twenty-five grog shops in Burrilville. What is true of Rhode Island is nearly true of Connecticut, nearly true of Vermont, nearly j true of Maine and New Hampshire, true to the I very letter of the whole of Massachusetts, and 1 true, to a great extent, of New York. Indeed, it is true, in its main features, of every State where the Main Law has been tried. In every one, the law has proved a failure. Mr. Dow knows better than to say that the law is en forced in Vermont and New Hampshire. In the former it does little or no good. In the latter it is every .where a dead letter. He knows better than to say that the Maine Law carried Maine last fall/ The Republicans car ried the State, it is true ; but they, did it by ignoring the Maine Law question, and taking into their service the only papers in the State the State of Maine and Expositor —that were recognized as organs of the rumsellers. The Reward of the Scoundrel All honorable gentlemen whose publio or private business called them to Harrisburg during the past winter, agree in pronouncing the recent Legislature the most corrupt body of men that ever convened at the seat of Gov ernment. It was almost a disgrace to high minded, honest men, to be compelled to asso ciate with such a set of unmitigated rascals. The town was over-run with broken down politicians, drunken borers and debauched old vagabonds, who had already grown rioh in the pursuit of the same business. It was woll known and not denied, that a proposal was made by the scoundrels who control the leg islation of our State, to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, that if the Company would pay them the amount of a year’s tax, (abouts229,ooo) they would secure the passage of any bill they might draw up for sale of the main line, with a clause exempting the property of the Company from taxation forever . It is said the proposal was accepted. The villains who were “ in the ring” are said to have spent about $25,000 to procure the passage of the bill, thus making about $200,000 by the oper ation! The price of a common member was rated at about $5OO. Others, who could not be bought at so low a rate were paid $l5OO and $2OOO, and we are informed that a democratic Senator from the Western portion of the State was offered $5OOO if he would only remain silent and not oppose the passage of bill! Another Senator was offered $l5OO- if he would respond to a forged telegraph dispatch calling him home, on account of sickness I It is shameful, disgraceful, that such a state of things should exist, but it seems to be the fate of poor old Pennsylvania, to be plundered and robbed. We believe that three-fourths of the men who voted ’ for that bill, did so from dishonest motives. We belieye they were bought like Sheep in the market. No man who supported it should ever again be allowed to show his face in the Halls of the State Capitol. —‘Easton Argus. Tile Mississippi and Ohio Railroad. Incidents on the Route —Speeches by Governoi Chase , Secretary Cass, and others — Recep- tional Chillicoike. Chillicothe, June 3. —The excursionists arrived here last evening, about 10 o'clock, having travelled over the Parkersburg and Marietta Railroad, The run to Parkersburg, a distance of one hundred and four miles, was made in four hours and twenty minutes, in cluding stoppages. They were conveyed to Marietta in the steamboats “Albermarle" and “John Buck," which were lashed together, the guests danced during the whole trip of eight miles. Their reception at Marietta was announced by the firing of cannon, and a large concourse of people were gathered at the landing. • Gov.. Chase, of Ohio, delivered an eloquent address, welcoming Gen. Cass, the represen tative of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co., and of the various States. Mr. Casß responded in a beautiful style ; saying that fifty-seven years ago ho had land ed, a poor boy, within a few yards from the spot where he stood, and the recollection of the changes which had occurred since that period were almost overpowering. He ven tured the prediction, from the records of past history, that persons now living would see the population augmented to hundreds of millions. Hon. Nathaniel Cox responded on the part of Maryland, Hon. Fayette McMullin on the part of Virginia, and Thomas Swan, Esq., on the part of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. The guests started at 3 o’clock, P. M., from Marietta, on the Marietta Railroad, in fiv6 trains. The trip was not very satisfactory, in consequence of the incomplete condition of a portion of the road, rendering rapid travel impossible. The reception atChillicdthe was very enthu siastic. A procession, formed of the various military companies of the city, the guests and a number of citizens, marched to the Masonic Hall, which was illuminated. After displays of fireworks and other signs of rejoicing, the guests were quartered at the Valley House, and at such private dwellings as were thrown open for their accommodation. The excursion will start this morning about, 10 o'clock for Cincinnati. The Minnesota Constitutional Conven- Chicago, June 6. —The latest dates from Minnesota show that 35 Democrats and 11 Republicans have been elected to the Consti tutional Convention. Protest against the Bill for the lisle of I the Main. Bine* ] , The undersigned place on the Journal of j the Senate their reasons for voting against the passage of the House bill No. 852, (re-print ■ on Senate file No. 1127, Entitled “An Act for 1 the sale of the Main Line of the Public ' Works.” i - i Ist. Because, although professing [to offer : the Main Line to the highest bidder,jthe bill discriminates so largely in the conditions of sale, terms of payment, and the exemption from taxation, in favor of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, as almost to exclude bona fide competition. And yet itiempowiers irre sponsible individuals to bid for the purpose of speculation , by authorizing them, if they should become the purchasers, “ to assign and transfer their right to the said Main Line, under said purchase, to any Railroad 6r Canal company created by the laws of this Com monwealth.” THe privilege of transfer, under such circumstances, without increasing com petition, gives color to the assertion that the bill has been so framed as to enable private parties—now engaged in procuring this legis lation—to purchase merely for the purpose of selling at an advance, as an indemnity for their services. 2d. Because, although the bill purports to be a sale of the MairuLine, it, in reality, more nearly resembles a ''gift to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, if that company should obtain it on the terms proposed. The extra ordinary extension of credit, the low rate of interest, the release of the tonnage fax, and the exemption, forever, from all other taxation or duties for State purposes, will enable that company to liquidate every dollar of jthe pur chase money before the last payment shall mature, by merely appropriating to that pur pose, . the taxes from which they arja thus released. j * 3d. Because the release of the tonnage tax is not accompanied with such a limitation upon the future rates of dividends of said company, as will cause said release to enure to the ben fit of the trade and commerce of the State. — Such a limitation wou!d be in accordance with the original design of the enterprising citizens of Philadelphia and Pittsburg, and of the various municipalities who subscribed so lib erally to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, not expecting or desiring large dividends upon their investments, but to promote the great public objects above referred to. 4. Because the bill provides that in the event of the Pennsylvania Railroad company becoming the purchaser, said company shall not only be exempt from the tonnagedax, now $226,000 per annum, but that in additipn, it “ shall be released from the payment of all other taxes or duties to the Commonwealth on its cap ital stock , bonds, dividends or property.” The latter amount, from which the Pennsylvania Railroad company would thus be relieved, may be moderately estimated at one hundred thousand dollars a year. Such an exemption from taxation is not only*without precedent, but should be depre cated as establishing an exceedingly dangerous one ; and is in violation of that principle of equality of taxation so fundamental in our form of government. sth. Because the bill does not contain a sufficient guarantee that the Western division of the Main Line “ shall be kept in* good re pair and operating condition thus estab lishing an invidious distinction between the Eastern and Western portions of the State, although both have contributed proportionally to the burden of constructing and maintaining the entire line. - 6th. Because the bill does not require that the President and Directors of the company, purchasing said line, should be citizens and residents of the State. The importance of such a requirement is manifest from the fact, that under our general law, only a majority of the Directors of Canal and Railroad compa nies need be resident citizens ; and by some special charters a majority is not even neces [ sary. In fact, the management of* several of these companies is located entirely otit of this State. Thus, by the provisions of this bill, the Main Line may pass into the hands of thpse whose riyal interests and feelings would not afford any guarantee that it would •fte managed so as to subserve the great objects I of its construction. ; 7th. Because, if the Pennsylvania Railroad company should become the purchaser, there should be a provision, that the State, or the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburg, shall 1 retain a voice in the direction of the, affairs of • the Consolidated Line, irrespective of, and al though they may part with, the stock now held by them in said company. So important ‘ a work should not be managed aB much with reference to the interests of. stockholders, as > to those great public objects of trade and [ commerce already referred to. ! Bth. Because the charter of any company purchasing said Main Line is made and de clared perpetual; and there is not such a i- proper or sufficient reservation of legislative - control as to enable the Legislature, in the future, to protect the general interests of the Commonwealth and her citizens. • iv. v ' WILLIAM WILKINS/' > N.

The appointment of Mr. Diller, to the Bremen Consulate will give much satisfaction to the numerous friends of that gentleman in Pennsylvania. Col. Benton on Slavery Agitation.— Col. Benton continues to frown upon the emancipation movement of his old friends in Missouri. In a letter (May 7) he says : “ I look upon a slavery agitation Is one of the greatest calamities which could befal the country, and, besides its other evils, as having a dangerous effect upon the slaves themselves; for it is incident to these agitations for one of the parties to charge the other with abolition ism, and a design ‘to abolish slavery, and to represent the free States the same way ; all of which is heard by the slaves, or comes to their knowledge ; and they being ignorant and credulous, and not knowing that all this abolition talk is mere political lying, for the election, very naturally believe what they hear, and just as naturally conclude that they ought to be doing something for themselves when they have so many powerful friends at work for them. They believe it, and become rest less and discontented, and go to plotting, either to escape or revolt. Those who make such charges do not do it to excite the slaves, but they do it so that the slaves hear and know it, and the effect is just the same as if their design was to excite insurrection. Cattle Co-ming. —A large and valuable consignment of cattle from England is on its way to this country in the ship Georgia, Capt. Macloon. The stock consists of 32 head.of short-horned cattle, 3 valuable horses, 25 sheep and 25 pigs'. The animals are all of the choicest breeds, and have been selected, regard less of expense, in England, Ireland and Scot land. They are to be distributed exclusively in the State of Illinois, with a view to the improvement of the breeds in that State. The shipment is said to be the most valuable ever sent to this country. “ The Truth of the Matter."—The N* Y. Herald says, speaking of Kansas outrages, &o. : “ But the truth of the matter is, that all this fuss that has been made about Kansas within the past two or three years, has been created for thebenefit of a few speculators in lands and pol itics. Under the new regime the bubble will burst." At last we are beginning to get the truth of the matter—-and through the Herald 1 From Washington. The Election Disturbances — The List of the Killed and Wounded . Washington, June 2. —The city is quiet, though there yet exists much bad,feeling.— The’ Light Artillery remain' in the.-city, although there is no sign of a renewal of the disturbance. The Star of last evening giyes the following corrected statement of th’e incidents attending the firing by the marines The marines were ordered out by a requisi tion from the President, on the authenticated statement of the Mayor and a number of citi zens that the police force was insufficient to protect the citizens of Washington in the exercise of their suffrages. The two compa nies out numbered in all 115, officers'and meD. The battalion nnderthe command of'Captain.' Tyler, and Lieut. Henderson, Adjutant.— The first company'was commanded by Major Zeilin, the second by Capt. Maddox and Lieut: Turner. The Marines formedin line and march ed towards the City Hall, the crowd of rioters hooting and yelling, threatening and insulting them at every step. They were passed on their way by a party of Ping Uglies and others, who were hauling a brass swivel, and threat ened that not a Marine should return to the Navy Yard alive. Arrived at the City Hall, Capt. Tyler reported service to the Mayor. The Marines were addressed by Lient. Hen derson, who said : “ Men, yon have- always done your duty in the service of your country. I expect you now to do your duty bravely, if necessary, in the'proteotion of the laws, and -the rights of citizens.” The files then moved to the scene of action, subjected the while to the most abusive and insulting epithets from the lawless gang who followed. When they arrived opposite to the polls, which had been closed for some time, they halted in the middle of the street and ordered arms. ■ ‘ • • ' Some 60 or 70 /ards above them, and oppo site the market house, a cannon was hauled out and a large crowd of rioters surrounded it, while a delegation of their number was 6ent to inform the commanding officer that unless the Marines were instantly withdrawn the piece would be discharged into their ranks.— Captain Tyler, on receiving this threatening message, immediately gave the order to move toward the gun, and when the right of the' line was nearly opposite it, General Hender son deliberately went up to the piece and placed his body against the muzzle, thereby? preventing it from being aimed at the Marines, just at the moment when it was about to be discharged. The general was dressed in citi zen’s dreßS aud armed with nothing more deadly than a cotton umbrella. He addressed the rioters saying, “ men, you had better think twice before you fire this piece at the Marines.” He informed the crowd that the guns were all loaded with ball and cartridge, and warned them repeatedly to desist. All the officers repeatedly warned the citizens to go away from the spot. The General, finding that the piece would be fired unless captured, instantly crossed over to Capt. Tyler and gave the order for ten or fifteen Marines to take it. During this time a number of pistol shots were fired at General Henderson, some of the ing within a few feet of him when firing. One platoon of the Marines brought their arms to the trail, without cocking, and charged the piece on a run. Those in charge of the piece instantly retreated, and a dozen or more re volvers were discharged at the platoon, who had laid hold of the gun and were taking it away. A sortie was made by the mob to re cover the piece, when Lieutenant Henderson ran up and’hauled it across the street to the rear of the Marines. A man ran up to the General, within two feet of his person, and was about to discharge his revolver, when a marine with a musket struck his arm, causing the weapon to fall; at the same time the General seized the villain, and marched him off to the Mayor in whose hands he placed him. The pistol shots now rattled around like hailstones, and the officers had great difficulty in restraining their men from returning the fire. Gen. Henderson and all the officers were constantly admonishing the men not to fire until the command was given, but a shot copying: from the crowd struck a marine in the cheek, inflicting a dreadful wound, and several more being hit with balls and brickbats, tbe soldiers could stand it no longer; they poured in an answer- ing fire which was stopped as soon as possible by the officers. The Marines were nearly all natives instead “ foreign hirelings/’ as alleged. The following is a corrected list of the killed and wounded: Killed—Archibald Dalrymple, Francis M. Deems, D. H. Allston, Raney Neal, William Redding, George M’Elfresh, Christian Lindig Wounded —Col. Wm. F. Wilson, Thomas Wills, James Wright, Peter F. Bell, Daniel V. Fenton, Richard G. Hyatt, John Heath, Capt.

He has just published a volume giving his opinion of the saints found in the vicinity of the Great Salt Lake. We quote: “ One of the most repulsive features of Mor monism is the proxy system. This is so de structive to every good and honest feeling that many staunch Mormonites reject it altogether. I heard one of the oldest disciples say, that nothing on earth would ever persuade him to believe in it, and that if he had a dog that believed it, he would shoot him. Nor will any reader be surprised when he knows what it is. I will endeavor to explain it briefly. When~a married man is called by conference to a foreign mission, he has the privilege, as they call it before leaving home, of choosing some one to take the oversight of his cattle, goods, and whatever he may possess ; to provide for and overlook the family, and to become the pro-tempore husband of the wife." The ostensible reason for this arrangement is to prevent the husband from “ suffering any loss" during his absence on missionary labors, -since the greatness of his “future kingdom" depends upon the number of children he has here. To carry out this idea, the wife is handed over to a deputy husband, who main tains his position in the family till the husband returns. Base and immoTal as this theory may be, it is strongly advocated by the leading men at the Great Salt Lake. We again quote the returned clergyman : “ But there is something more awful and paralyzing than all I have yet narrated. I mean the fearful Bin of incest, which is so intimately and closely connected with poly gamy. 1 could particularize instances where mother and daughter are married to the same man, and live with him as his wives ; others, where brother and sister are man and wife, and son. Brigham Young, speaking once upon this subject in the Tabernacle, said that he hoped the day was not far distant when these principles would be more fully taught and acted upon, and that children would be brought up to regard each other as future partners, for that thus the family would become more compaet." As “ a case in point,” we would mention that some ten "months since there was a man at Liverpool, who held the office of counselor to the British Presidency, who, aided by the authorities there and the emigration, fund, persuaded a family—father, mother and three daughters, the youngest in her teens—to emigrate to Zion. They had been a highly respectable family, and their character is irre proachable. On arriving at their destination, the missionary demanded the three daughters in marriage, and the parents gave a most reluctant consent. This man of God (as he styled himself) was married by Brigham Young to these three on the same' day,and took them together, to his house, where he had a young wife already, and which house consisted of but one room for, the accommodation of them all. In about a year one brought forth a daughter and another a son. This caused him great rejoicing, as he said the sons would in time marry the daughters, and thus inali enably become the foundation of his kingdom. This statement reads like a fable, and yet there is no state of facts more easily proved. That such doctrines should exist in a Christian land, in the year of our Lord 1857, is one of those peculiar monstrosities which no amount of logic can account for. Mormonism is tbe great evil of tbe day. How shall it be got rid of, is difficult to say. It may be put down-by force, but it will not be put down by reasonf for if men could reason, they would never beoome Mormons. CITY AYU COIIYTY AFF AIRS. ; “Sau” in the Fiei.'d!—'The “American” State Convention met in Vulton Hall, in this City, on Wednesday List—sB delegates, representing Philadelphia. Berks, Bradford, Clearfield - Allegheny, Northampton* Mbntgomerjr Yorkj Dauphin. lAr.caster and Delaware counties, were In jJtendahee. The following officers were appointed, Tiz i Dresident, Daniel McCurdy, of Allegheny: Vice Presidents, £. C. Williams, of Dauphin, and Dr. Santf Keneagy, of Lancaster;-Secretaries, W. M. Nichols, of Philadelphia, ahtf-fi. F.Thomas, of York.- After consider able discussion, the following ticket for State Officers was r agreed upon, viz: ' FOR GOVERNOR. ISAAC HAZLEHURST. of Philadelphia. FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER. JOHN F. LINDERMAN, of Berks. FOR SUPREME JUDGES. JACOB BROOME, of Philadelphia. * JASPER E. BRADY, of Allegheny. The nominations were subsequently made unanimous. A committee-on resolutions reported, in substance, that the “American party was composed of citizens of America by birth or choice, and invited all to join It who endorsed their views; that they were opposed to any religious teats being introduced into their platform of principles; that the; welcomed to this land all strangers, hut were opposed to the importation of felons and paupers; that they were opposed to the elevation to office of all persons Dot citizens, believing that ‘None but Americans should rule America;’ that they were opposed to outside intervention i n the regu lation of State affairs, and opposed to all legislative inter ference by Congress that would tend to a disruption of the amity of the States.” The resolutions further contained an endorsement of the original views of the party on the For eign 1 and Central American policy, and concluded with an endorsement of the nominees of the Convention, and also the administration of Qovernur Pollock. The “Minute Men of ’56,” of Philadelphia, were in at tendance. They arrived here in the 2 o’clock train on Wednesday morning, and were received at the depot; by their K. N. brethren of this city. Salutes were fired, and they were escorted to their quarters at Shenk’s National House, North Queen street. Shortly afterwards they were finely serenaded by the Fenclbles’ Band, which had been engaged for the purpose. The “Minute Men” were accom panied by Banker’s celebrated Martial Music. In the evening a ratification meeting was held in Fulton Hall, which was addressed by Messrs. Swoop, Sommers, Seymour, Thomas and others. The somewhat celebrated Joe Barker, of Pittsburg, was also in town, and spoke in Centre Square. He Geemed to be driving ahead on his own hook, rapping the Convention pretty sharply over the knuckles, and ridiculing their nominations. Jos seems to be an intensified American of the pepper an#’’salt*Btripe, and is dispoied to lash the Know-Nothing rascals all round with as much severity as he deals his blows on the clergy io general, and the Cath olic clergy in particular. The ex-Mayor of Pittsburg is evidently some two or three year%behind the age. Had he appeared in our midst during the summer of 1854, In company with the hypocritical Keys, when Know-Nothing ißm was in the hey-day of its prosperity, he would have been looked upon as a sort of demi-god with the fraternity, and his filthy teachings would have been considered orac ular; but now, alas! he failed to draw oven a respectable audience in point of numbers, and his blather of nonsense, scurrility and abuse fell still-born on the few who had patience to hear him to the “bitter end.” Returned.— Judge Yondersmith is now at his home in this city again—having been released from imprisonment on ball. It is uncertain when his trial will take place—probably not at the present session of the U. S. District Court. Accident. —A Miss Klinger, residing in the rear of Mulberry street, was badly burned on Thursday night by the explosion of a fluid lamp. She was discovered in time to prevent the consequences being fatal. Persons cannot be too careful with these lamps. An Oration. —Samuel H. Reynolds, Esq., of this city, has been selected to deliver an oration to the citizens of Intercourse and vicinity on the coming Fourth of July.

School Teachers’ Examination.— The Co. Superintendent is now engaged in examining the qualifi cations of applicants for teachers of the City schools. Shocking and-Fatal Accident.—A Young Max Torn to Pieces in tiie Eden Paper Mill.—A most distressing and fatal accident occurred on Wednesday after, noon at the Paper Mill of J. H. Kurtz, at Eden, about threo miles from this city, which resulted in the death of a young man, named Cyrus Harmes, in the employ of Beecher & Bro. A new pulp engine, which had just been finished for the paper mill, was put in operation for the first time.— The young man was learning the moulding business with Messrs. Beecher, and about four o’clock in the afternoon, he wont to the water wheel for the purpose of checking its speed in order to put on the fan belt. Wishing to clean the rack which in set in the bay above the water wheel to keep the rubbish out, and not finding the rake in itsplace, he went into the I’aper Mill to look for it. In attempting to pass between the wall and a largo { belt wheel, he missed his footing, and fell on the pulley, which caught his thigh between the abutment sill and the edge of the pulley, a spase of about Inches, mangling it in a shocking man ner, and literally tearing the leg off close to the abdomen. Drs. kilee and Ehler were called in, but bis system had received so severe a shock that they did not deem it ad visable to amputate the limb. He lingered until about midnight. Dog Law Proclamation. — The Mayor has issued a proclamation requiring all citizens to keep their dogs confined, or if left run at large to have them properly muzzled. Ret. Alfred Nevin, D. D.—lt will be seen l)j the following proceedings that this gentleman has requested to have bis pastoral relation with tho 2d Pres byterian Church, of this city, dissolved. Dr. Nevin is not only an able and eloquent preacher, hut a gentleman of undoubted talents and piety, and his removal from our city would be a cause for general regret. We hope that he may re-consider his determination: At a meeting of the 2nd Presbyterian Congregation the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Wuireab, Our Pastor, the Rev. Dr. A. Nevin, did. from the pulpit, on laat Lord’s day, desire the congregation to concur with him, in a request to the Presbytery, to dissolve the Pastoral relation existing between us. Therefore, Resolved, That this Church aud congregation have heard, with surprise and sorrow, of the recent request of our beloved Pastor, desiring a dissolution of tho Pastoral rela tion, existing between him and this congregation; that wo entertain the profoundest feelings of respect and love for him, and regret exceedingly that we are called upon to make a response to an application to dissolve tho Pastoral tie. Resolved, That while the relation of Pastor and people, now subsisting for over four years, has resulted in especial prosperity to the Congregation, and in a devoted discharge of the various duties of minister, yet we feel that our beloved Pastor has filled tfle relationship at great per sonal and pecuniary sacrifice, during that period—a sacri fice that a sense of duty alone would have caused him to make; and that bis exalted character, bis eminent talents, his eloquence as a preacher, and bis ardeot piety, entitled him to a larger and more promising field of labor and use fulness; that these facts, united with his own request, and a knowledge of his -past sacrifices, could alone constrain us. should his mind remain unchanged, to submit to the asked for but painful separation. Resolved, That if a proper regard for his own interests and sense of dnty will permit, this Congregation do hereby sincerely and urgently request their Pastor to remain with them, and continue his ministrations, which, we have no doubt, will in the future, as they have In the past, continue to inspire us with a growing love and attachment for him, and conduce to the harmony and welfare of this portion of our Zion. On motion, Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions, attested by the officers, be handed to Mr. Nevin, and that they be published in the papers ot the city. W. V. DAVIS, President. J. B. Freeland, Secretary. Lancaster, Juno Ist, 1567. Will Medicine ccre a Chronic Disease? Chronic Diseases, as a general thiDg, are more difficult to «ure than those termed acute, for the reason that the tissues are often injured in their structure. It usually takes a longer time to cure Chronic than recent diseases, but still they are curable when a proper remedy is applied. Diseases of the Lungs, Bronchia, and Pulmonary apparatus should not be suffered to continue long, as they generally lay the foundation of incurablo disease. One of the best remedies for the cure of these complaints is Dr. Keyser’s Pectoral Syrup, prepared by that gentleman, at 140 Wood street, Pittsburgh, Pa., and sold by Heinitsh, 13 East King street, Lancaster.

There have beon one or (wo more murders committed in our city since the date of our last. Suicides are becoming \ quite common in tbU section—some two or three persona | have grown tired of life in the past week, and committed ; self destruction. Some four or five bodies bare been found . drowned in the river at this place. All these help to j swell our list of mortuary. Street robberies aud house ' thieving are of nightly occurrence.. In the early part of ' the week the firemen Indulged in a little sport by way of a 1 streot fight—several companies were engaged in it, and some of the members were badly hurt. On Thursday last the children attached to our public schools went out on a May party ; they turned out over 5000 strong, and made a procession of two miles in length exclusive of thirty-two omnibuses closely packed with the smaller children: they presented a grand and imposing appearance, and from all accounts had a good and happy j time of it On Monday last tho Bank of the State of Missouri entered upon a new career. By virtue of the law of the last Legis. lature it was merged into a new Bank. New books were opened, new notes were issued, and the new Bank assumes all obligations of the old one, and nothing now remains of the old concern except the outstanding circulation, scat tered all over the West, South and perhaps all over the country. The new Bank redeems the outstanding circula. tion in goid and, silver as fast os the notes are presented at the counters The new Bank comes Into existence with a paid-up capital of $954,205 22 on the part of the State, and an individual subscription of $261,200, making, in the ag gregate. $1,215,405. We should not bo surprised to hear that a million of dollars will at once be added by subscrip tion to the capital. All the old Directors retain their places under the law. This Bank in a year or two will be ene of the most extensive concerns of the country. It is sound to the core. Stock has sold at $ll6, and the opinion of some is, that it is worth $l4O. The census takers have now all returned their reports, and our entire city shows a population of 126,796 —last year 122,029—showing an increase of 4,767 in the last year. There are 1,539 slaves in the city, and 1,540 fret negroes. What will the Black Republicans think of that ? Suppose we pass a law, and compel these fret, negroes to quit the gtate—send them to Pennsylvania, Ac., would they still “shriek for freedom?” We think not. Wo are not such a bad people in the Slave States as tin'. Black would represent us ; we tolerate their first brethren among ns, but they will not tolerate our black sia among them. The census shows the number of houses to be 14,377 in the city. A day or two since a piece of property sold on Main 6treot at $1,970 per front foot—tho lot bringing upwards of $BB,- 000. Auother lot on the levee sold for $925 per front foot. An election was held in the Fourth Ward the other day for Delegate to the City Couocil—to fill vacancy caused by the resignation of a Block Republican. Boerstein, the , German editor of tlio Anzeiger, and the “pet of the petticoats”—we mean Black Republicans, was put up as the , Blacks’ most promising man—the Democrat bad an edito rial on his superior abilities, uni soundness on the Black . Republican question—the great leader of that paity In : Missouri—which American citiiens, Black Republicans— ' follow in his wake as their God aQd Saviour. This man \ Boerstein was put up, and the Black Republicans were i called upon aad appealed to, to rally around the pet Ger- j man of “superior abilities,” and show to the world what they could do. But alas for him and them, tho Democrats turned out, and defeated the German Bear, the Bull Dog of the Black Republicans, whose bark or howl makes the i leaders of the party squirm, twist and succumb to his will ; and dictates—he was defeated by fifty-five majority, in a | ward, too, that in April gave the Black Republicans ; about 400 majority 1 The Democrat did not even the [ risult of the election, but had Boernstein been successful, I it would have heralded it far and wide as .another Black j Republican victory in our city; but they have saved paper j and ink this time. ! The approaching Railroad celebration is all the rage just now. Extensive preparations are being made to give the guests a cordial welcome. Committees of arrangement have already been appointed, and the celebration promises to be the most grand atid brilliant affair that has ever ta ken place in the West. It is stated ihat Mr. Buchanan wi'l be present, and we hope be may, that he will havo an opportunity of seeing us as we 6ee ourselves. Tho Presi dent'should by all means spare time enough to participate in this great jubilee over one of the most extensive and important national thoroughfares of the country. We have bad several Lancasterians in our city since the date of ouruny letter—Messrs. Geo. Yoories, Geo. Heitshu, John Reigart and David Cockley, all, we believe, en route for Lancaster. Mr. Cockley, wo understand, is just from Kansas, and is now goiog home to settle up bis business and then.return to make the West his future home. We have not heard anything from those who went to Minnesota a few weeks ago. We hear from almost every'quarter that large parties of emigrants are on the way West, destined for lowa, Minne sota, Kansas,' Nebraska, Illinois, Missouri, Oregon and Washington territories. Thousands and tens of thousands Kre yearly coming West—coming whilst land is cheap and to be had, but tho price U rapidly advancing. Now is the time—it will never be less. We have some news from Kansas. Gov. Walker has arrived in Kansas, and was welcomed by one and all. He hid not reached Locompton at laat advices, bnt would be received there with a public reception, ball, Ac., Ac. Black Republican Wilson of Massachusetts, is in Kansas, dnd made a speech. In Black Republican Lawrence, which was not favorably received by bis own party. Gov. Walker also spoke there, and a correspondent says, who heard both speeches, “ Walker's speech was the better received of the two dt the Free State party.” If that comes from Law rence, what will Greely, Bennett, etc., do for political cap ital hereafter? What takes Wilson to Kansas now is a mystery to both pro-slavery and free 6tato men. His own party think it bad policy in him going to Kansas at this time, and some of them say he should have come when it “tried men’s,souls.” But Wilson no doubt thought that he could do more at a distance —away from tho fire and smoke—by his advice and plan of conducting tha campaign, than he could in tbe midst of raining bullets and thunder of musketry. His appearance in Kansas now bears the impression that he has been sent out by his party to com plicate, as much as possible, the difficulties, and prevent Gov. Walker and aDemocraticadministration from settling those vexed questions which the Black Republicans know full well would bo a death blow to all their hopes and aspi rations throughout the Union. Wo think Mr. Wilson’s visit to Kansas just now is in exceedingly bad taste. Gov. Walker appears to be very popular in the Territory, and the settlers are now aware that it is the intention of the Administration to make matters right and in accordance with the Constitution at whatever cost, will lend Governor Walker all the aid and support in their power, to accom plish that end, unless Wilson and such men urge them on for Biack Republican capital. The Democracy of Douglass county, K. T., met at Lecomp. ton on the 25th ult., to nominate delegates to the Constitn* tional Convention to form a Constitution to be voted upon some time present month- It will be seen by tbe following preamble and resolutions that the Democracy of Kansas have taken high ground, and for the benefit of your Democratic readers we annex the resolutions, and ask for them a careful perusal: Whereas, wo the Democratic, electors of the county of Douglas, K. T., in convention assembled, implicitly believe in the fundamental principle of Democracy, that all power should be derived from, andall laws formed in accordance with the will of a majority of the people, as legally expressed at tbe ballot box ; and, whereas, wo have full confidence in the ability, intelligence, patriotism and discrimination {of tbe Democratic electors from every sertion of the Union, who have, or may become, bona fide citizens of this Territo ry, to enable them to adopt or refuse any or all the provis ions of tbe Constitution which must bo submitted to them by the Constitutional Convention; therefore, Resolved, That we will support no man as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, whoso duties it will be to frame the Constitution of the future State of Kansas, and mould the political institutions under which we, as a peo ple, are to live, unless he pledge himself fully, freely, and without mental reservation, to use every honorable effort to submit the same to every bona fide actual citizen of Kan sas at the proper time for-the vote being taken upon its adoption by the people, in order that the said Constitution may be adopted or rejected by the actual settlers in this Territory, as a majority of the voters may decide; and Resolved, That this Convention, as the representatives of the National Democracy of Douglas county, Kansas Terri tory, do pledge themselves as individuals and as a body, both in their selection ot Delegates to represent Douglas county in the Constitutional Convention and in the man ner of conducting the said election, to use their best efforts, in all good faith and sincerity to represent the interests of the whole Democracy of Kansas, without reference to the section of tbe Union from whence they may come, or the views that they may entertain upon any local questions which may properly be discussed or decided upon in the said Constitutional Convention ; and Resolved, That this convention, as tho representative of the National Democracy of Douglas county, K. T., and as members of the great Democratic party, which knows no sectional leaping and acknowledges do geographical party lines, do heartily endorse and concur in the foregoing “preambleend resolutions” as the best proof they cau offer to the Democracy of the Union of their unwaving determi nation to secure and guarantee to every citizen of Kansas, without reference to his pa« ty or indlvidoal views, tbe en joyment of his constitutional rights and an equal voice in j the adoption of these political Institutions which ho will be called upon to respect and obey. These resolutions were almost unanimously adopted. The Missouri Democrat has read Ex-Governor Price, and Mr. Laak, editor of the Jefferson city Enquirer, out of the party, and we know not the cause unless it was because they published Col. Benton’s reply to them. The Black Republicans are down on Benton like a thousand of brick —Priceand Link still stand by “Old Maa Sacrifice,” and hence the reading out of the party. The true friends of Col. Benton —those who did not use his name and fame for power and place, will no doubt bring Col. Benton out foz; Congress in this district at the next election against F. P. Blair, jr., who rode into Congress upon the popular wave of Bentouism-and professions of-Democracy. Should Col. Benton consent to run, we think all other candidates would withdraw and give him a fair and open fight with the Black Republicans, and in such an event his election would not only be secured by hundreds, hut thousands.— Time will show what can and will be dose. It is also stated that Boernstelh—the Bear of ** brilliant abilities, I has an eye on a seat in Congress, bnt whether he will torn the tables upon llr. Blair, is yet to be seen. He SHERIFF.— Gen.

It has without the ordinary appliance used for such purposes, won Its way, and boen heartily welcom ed to most of the citiesaud towns in the United States the Canadas, and the West ludia Islands. Nor is this result surprising, when it is remembered that its popularity is based upou its merits, solely as established by actual tests. That this preparation will actually RESTORE GRAY HAIR TO ITS NATURAL COLOR, produce a luxuriant growth upon the heads of the bald, prevent the hair from falling off, and when used as a toilet article, produce a continual flow of the natural fluids, and thus render the hair soft, glossy and wavy, destroy diseases of the 6calp, and oxpol dandruff, the certificates of distinguished gentlemen and ladies, in overy part of the country who hsvo tried it, and therefore speak what they know, most fully attest. Milford, Worcester Co., Mass., Nov. 13th, 186?). Prof. 0. J. Wood—Dear Sir ; I take pleasure in bearing voluntary testimony to the magic effects of your woodorlhl Hair Restorative. As far back as 1836 my hair commenced falling off, until the top of my scalp became bald and smooth as glass, and it has continued to fall for a great many years, notwithstanding I have used many celebrated preparations for its restoration. Seeing your advertisement, I was in duced to give your article a trial, and toiny utter astonish ment, 1 found after a few applications that my hair became firmly set and assumed a very glossy and beautiful appear ance; aud, by the time I had used a quart bottlo full, my bald head was covered over with a young and vigrrous growth of hair, which is now from one to two inches In length, and growing very fast. Yours truly, llenrt Goopriou. From the Boston Herald. Somethino Worth Knowing! —By using Professor Wood's Ilair Restorativo, gray Hair can bo permanently restored to tsoriginal color. The suhjoinedcertificate was received from Johnson k Stone, Gardener, Me., and is but oue of the many instances that are daily coming to our knowledge of its wonderful effects. It is no longer problematic, but a self-evident truth, as hundreds can testify. Gardiner, Me., June 22d, 1866. Mr. U. Dtes —Dear Sir: I have used two bottles of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorativo, and can truly say it la the great est discovery of the age for restoring and changing the Hair. Before using it I wns a man of seventy. My hair has now attained its original color. You can recommend it to the world without the least fear, as my case was one of the worst kind. Yours, respectfully. 1 have used Prof. 0. J. Wood’s Hair Restorative, aud have admired its wonderful effect. My hair was becoming, as I thought, prematurely gray, but by the use of his Restora tive it has resumed its original color, aod 1 have no doubt, permanently so. SIDNEY BREESE, Ex-Senator United States. The Greatest Discovery of the Age.—lt seldom occurs, that we notice, under any circumstances, patent medicines, restorativet, or anything of the kind, for we have a preju dice against Bt of them. But candor compels us to in vite attention to the advertisement of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative. We are too juvenile to require anything of tbe kind, but some instances of its use have come to our knowledge which almost assure us that it is a sovereign remedy against ihe hair becoming prematurely gtay. It is not a “ Hair Dye;” but upon its application as directed, the< effect jr produced on the skin, which brings out the origin-’ nal native colored hair, without stiffness, and gives it a glos syand natural appearance. We have seen persons who hare used it, and they are much pleased with it. —Missouri Re publican. 0. J. Wood k Co., 316 Broadway, New York, and 114 Market St. Louis, Mo., Proprietors. j,. W.
