A Beautiful Speech.
Tho, following beautiful spoecti was made
by Mr. Hopkins, the Democratic nominee for
Canal Commissioner, at tho opening: or. the'

which, body he was President :I
Gentlemen of the, Convention--Vi r e have met ,
under circumstances very , different from those i
lioder , which we assembled in March list.—
tr pp, we; were full of hope. 4 large majority
of thii body believed that the time had arrived
waen Pennsylvania's. distingushed statesman,
James 'Buchanan, would be 'nominated for the
Presidency. To this end delegates were ,arri
pointed who were known friends of that gen.;
tleman: with what fidelitylhese delegates dia.'
charred the trust reposed in them, let the fora ,
rh,y.4 balloting, which occurred at Baltimore,
answer. They adhered to- hill with a dove
lion rarely equalled, and never surpassed.—
They were not alone in their *reference for
the man of your choice. They had the proud
estisfaction of receiving the cordial co-opera
tion of the sterling Democracy of the "Old
Dothinion,7 of North Carolina, Alabama,Geor
gia, and Mississippi, but they were obliged, at
lest.. to yield. ,
This great and good man had to be offered
up as a sacrifice to the union and Harmony of
Demochitic party. The sacrifice was a great
one, and one which seemed., like parting with
1 1 10 east
. frien4% but still, it Was not trx; great
•-ri be made, in ordei to accomplish so desira
ble an end.
.
', It is proper to state, in this. ennneetion, that
s. reitectable minority of thifi Convention ex
-1,-e,,d a preference for, nother distinguished
ern t I em nn—the patriot and statesman of Mich
icnn. He, ton, had. a largo, perhaps I might
say controlling, number of friends at Bald
mare, who. with equal fidelity'', adhered to him.
He was, altogether, worthy - of their support.
Then, agam,the intellectual giant of Illinois,.
and the seareinered patriot of Texas, had
their admirers, who exhibited as much anxiety
firc their nomination as did the others for their
favorites. Thus, it became apparent, that per
sonal preferences must be laid aside, and some
one selected who would harreonize all the con
flicting interests.
• After surveying this widely extended con
federacy, the attention of, the Convention was,
paned towards New Hampshire's favorite son.
The moment his name was introduced, Cm the
'language of a delegate no* in my view,) " it
took like wild fire," and Franklin Pierce was,
by the unanimous voice of the Convention, de
elared .the nominee of the great Democratic
p trty. And who, I ask, could have been se
lf.eted, that would hive been more acceptable
to alt! Suraradded to talents of the highest
order, ho will bring to the administration of
the government a large amount of political
.wisdom and
-experience, and; a purer, braver,
or more disinterested patriot &sand live. As
to his entire fitness for the exalted position as
signed him, he has the endorsement of some
of the most eminent statesmen of the age. It
ia only necessary to mention two-i-lames Bet
elianan and Lewis Cass. 4 Who could desire
more l, 1
Of the nominee for the Vice Presidency, I
need hardly speak. The name of :William .13:
King is as familiar to the Democracy of Penn
sylvania as "household words." With them
be has /frog been a favorite. Perhaps there is
not a man in the Union who would command
a more cordial support. • ! I

! The County Convention•
F Pursuant to notice, the! Democratic County
Convention met in Montrpse last Monday, and .
Or !the particulars •of it action we refer our
readers to the published proceedings in ano
ther column. ,
Don. G. A.- Gaow was nominated for a sec
ond term in Congress kir acelaniation. This
vra.4 a just and merited tribute to, a talented
glad faithful Representative, and no onb can
doubt it will be ratified at the polls by the
largest majority Susquehanna county ever
gaim
For Commissioner, the choice fell on Amos
WLusms, Esq., of Springville. : , Mr. Williams
liar the reputation of an :active and thorough
huSiness man. If we mistake not, be is a Car
ietiter and Joiner by trade, which will not be
a shall, consideration ig the construction of
the county buildings now about to bo com
menced, as his learning in that line may enable
iihn to save the county from the mismanage
inent of her interests in that respect.
1 Atto r ne y , ,
.
, For District e Fn.austut Fussatt,
sq, of Montrose, was nominated. His capa
bilities for the position are good—consisting
't)f• it fine education lind business ability. This
lan important office to the people of the
coUnty, and we trust Mr. Fraser will guard
ivell their interests.
Four, Esq, of New Milford, our
.aididate for AuditOr, is a-gentleman well fit-
Ft.eto fill a much' higher position, and we
lott4 mistake if he is not be called upon'
4t,:some time in that way.
in reference to ourself, whom the Conven
lion saw fit to honor with the nomination for
'''the responsible office of Representative in the
;Legislature, we have nothing to say. With
•
sincereheart, we return to the Convention- s our
warmest thanks; assuring the Democracy it
;represented, that the vindication and endorse-
I ment , thus freely bestowed, comes at a time
and under clinumstanceri above all others the
'most gratifying. Should your choice be rati
fied at the imllo.t box, we shall labor, with all
our ability, and energy, to advance, proteat, and
defend the interests of the whole and every
section of the county and district. ' To the in
terests- of the citizens and the
,principles, of
Democracy, we pledge eternal -fidelity. We
can dO no more. ; - ;. •
It was truly gnitifying, to witness the har
mony and good, feeling. that pervaded the
whole deliberations of the Convention. The
idea was suggested to us, that the change of
the time of holding it, so as to remove it from
the turmoil of Court, had much to do with
this state, of things. We have no doubt it
was so, end that the change will result in-in
calculable good to the Democracy of Susque

wh had traversed with success every ( path of
sta manship, a man whose history is a part
i,
of o history of his country, who, asla pion
eer was enterprising and energetic; asl i a ruler,
wise and prudent; as a diplomatist, sagacious
and determined, and as a statesman, eloquent,
p . found and liberal. To'thisman, ptssessecl

t . • . star of his destiny followed them with
uudimmed lustre, and led to victory when even
ho e sickened and failed. Ho was balled as
preserver of our little'army, amid the mu.
dangers that environed it. For these
'evements ho was elected President, altho'
liad never filled a single civil position, and
neral Cass, whose life had been passed prin
xilly in a legislative.or administratits capac- I
, , and thereby eminently fitted to discharge
to duties of President, was defeated.' A few
oaths of Gen. Taylor's administration served
show the people the great error that they
. committed. Disclaiming all knowledge of
e arts of the politician himself, he imfortun
• ly called around him the most reckfess band
1
political adventurers that. ever disgraced the
• binet of any country. At a time *When the

sectional strife, their principal aim was to
meat discord-and plunder the Treasury.—
. Gen. Taylor been familiar with politicians

What troubles might have been saved to

publication, should put an etel to the calumni-

rect inibrmtition where it could beat be pro
cured, of General Pierce's Catholio neighbors,
fellow-citizens, and Constittients-of the pro
scribed religious faith. Theiranswer itunre
seried and conclusive. . From the pastor to
the humblest Member of his flock, their testi

styled " the stigma of religions intolerance"
from the New Hampshire constitution.
Though we do net expect the Whig press will
withdraw the imputation's which this commu

the hope that they have sufficient regard for

Letter from the Catholics of New
Hampshire.
Concord, N. IL Aug 18, IEO2.
To Joan Warts, Esq.,,Milwaukie, Wiseiansin.
Dear Sir: Understanding that an impression
has obtained in Wisconsin to a considerable
extent, and especially among that portion of
your peoplq that are Catholics, that General
Franklin Pierce, of this state, was unfriendly
to Catholics, as a religious sect, and that an
attempt has been made to hold him responsi.
ble-for the odious religions test contained in
the constitution of this state; the undersigned
Catholic citizens cif Concord deem it , our duty
to say that the Catholics of this state and of
New England, and especially that portion of
them that are of his political opinions, ienter
tain for him the bighest respect as a politician
and a min:- Especially do they feel i under
great obligations to bim for, his powerful ef
forts in the convention to expunge that odious
" test" from the tonstitntion of New Hamp
shire, and for hie efforts horse the people to
have the amendment tithe constitution adopt.
ed which provided for striking out the religious
test. Any impression -of the kind indicated,
does General Pierce groat injustice, and we
regret that, for partisan .purposes, he tuis been
thus - misrepresented. ' • -
We send this to you, not for electioneering
or partisan 'purposes,' hut as a simplei act of
justice to one of the strongest opponehts the
odious " test" basin New Hampshire, and to
one of the mini liberal and tolerant cilia cid
sena.'
We have been present in several meetings;
and at the last town meeting, when this pro
pond amendment was submited to the:people
and have beard Genend Pierce address the peo
ple in favor of abolishing this a test"; and any
representation that he is opposed to Striking
wit that test, or that he has not exerted him
self to have that test abolish'ed, must Proceed
either from profound ignorihice, or malicious
misrepreseritation of the man his cheraeter,and
course hi relation to this test queition.

the struggle, was to be seen. Bold, rude, de- Oh motion, adji
fiant an Achilles of , political battle, when his •
friends turned and fled from the disasters of
1850, it seemed as though he advance to meet
and repel his conquenng foe, haughty in his
rude self confidence, and even scorning to ap
peal to his flying friends to rally tolls aid.
Nor, did Benton , even attempt to conciliate.
Concillation is not iii his rough and stubborn
nature. It must be a rare thing t rare as the
blow of the wand of Moses upon the desert
rock, which , can draw from him, in his publie
I course, one gush of companionable, generous
and friendly humanity, whilst in such men as
Clay and Jackson, violent and oven haughty

But Benton scorns •the very entertainment,
much more the expression, of such a sentiment.
Ho is a thorough foe, gives an open defiance,
oilers a fierce and powerful struggle, and his
foe once down, tramples him relentlessly and
remorselessly intc• the earth. Throughout the
whole of the recent tremenduous contest, from
which be las just emerged triumphant, he
r spared no public or personal denunciation.—
'He exhausted every expletive of abuse. lie
ransacked tho entire range of the English Inn-
guage for terms of scorn and derision. He
spared no character. He wavered in no con
test. He struck at. everythingand every body,
fiercely, powerfully, and with a rode grandeur
of gigantic rage and hate. He was an, angry
Vulcan, forging and launching tfaiinderbolts of
hate.
And strange to say, outraging everycusto
mary proptie' ty of language, flaming in hot
hate, towering and wrestling in fierce vindic
tiveness of passion, rushing forward with blind
fury, upon every obstacle, like his type, the
huge, wild%uualo of Missouri prairies:-this

So, a victor, demanding an, ovation from his

Can Benton's triumph of hate and passion
be-subdued and , chilled by, the memories of
such an hour? Will he learn how to forget ,
