York Smith, highly respectable gentleman, formerly:kf' Wilkes-Barre, but for some time a contractor of railroads residing in Texas, had been arrested 'and hung as as Abolitionist. We noticed the rumor in our columns, and find it is 'en tirely unfounded. Letters froth the-fami ly have.beeti received as late as Saturday last ;.3.1r. Smith and his household were well-and happy—no 4rrtst and no banging. The person wfio could put such a vile, sta. ry in. circulation deserves the hemp ap plied to his back or neck,. and we are un concerned which remedy is applied- for such -a- crime committed in such exciting times as these.—Scranton Herald. • , Similar to the above was a report that 't wo,young• men frohl Montroie had been outrageously driven away from Georgia, and the Scranton Republican was the first _ Lo give currency to it; and we learn -that - it has been cepied by the Tribune, as well as many . other Abolition papers. Yet when the story has been contradicted by the young men, themselves, not .one of these false sheets will correct their false hood, but continue to report others. Such is abolition-Republicanism.

TUE WASIIINGTCiN PEACE C03. - vEninmr. —The Peace Congress are, making little progress. ,Their sessions still incline to be secret. The parading of-United States troops on Pennsylvania avenue every morning, by order of General Scott, causes deep in dignation in the minds of Southern dele- gates to. the Peace Congress. They re , gard these movements as a menace and threat on the part of the North, and it will undoubtedly have the effect to retard a peaceable solution . of the difficulties which-the Conventioa; have assembled to overcome. • - - The latest speculations in Republican ' circles about the Peace Conference, are to ihe effect that the proceedings will be retracted until after the 4th of March. elay is desired by the icon-compromisers, in order that Mr. Lincoln shall have the eclut of - presenting propositions in his in ttugral that will lead to a peaceful solu itian of the difficulties.

DMIOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION The Democratic State Executive ' Committee . of Pennsyl vania, at a meeting held in the city of Harrisburg, bn the'3oth ult., unanimously resolved to elicit the views of the "old Key stone" in reference to the present terrible crisis of our National affairs. The failure of the Republican party to meet, in- a proper .spirit of concession and-compromise, the overtures made for .the adjnstment of our National difficulties, render 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 about by the teachings ofan Anti-Constitutional party, a party.sectional - in. its aims and sectional in•its principles. Six of our sister sove reign States have already withdrawn from the Federal Union, and others threaten speedily to follow. The Democratic party, ever faithful•to. the Constitution and the laws, seriously dep.. recates,:this deplorable bondition'of our comnion and beloved country. The, perils now impending is the natural result of a departure from the true .Constitutional doctrines Oeadfastly :maintained by the -Democratic organization for. the past sixty years, and can only be removed by theyei.lstablishnient of those time-honored principles. -It is not necessary to recall the glo- - ries of the past—it is only necessary to be reminded of the dan gers of the present. Whatever the future nmy have in store for the American people—whether peaceahall continue within our borders, or our land be rent with fraternal strife—it, now be comes the solemn and imperative duty of the .Democratic par ty,;tlfe only true Conservator of the Union, the Constitution, and "the equality of the States," to give full expression of opinion upon the dangers which threaten Constitutional liberty and menance the righ is of all the States of this Confedracy: Therefore, in accordance with the unanimous recommendation of the . Democratic -State Executive Committee, the Demodacy ofPeinisvlvania are earnestly invited to send three -delegates for each Senator, and three delegates for each Represenative, to be chosen in such manner and atanch tinfe as may Le deem ed Proper, to meet in general Slate Convention at Harrisburg, at three o'clock, p. tu., on Thursday, the 21st day of February, A. ,D. 18 , to take into consideration the present distracted arid' dividCd state of the country, "..to restrain threatened_see tional violence, and to aid in re - constructing the . federal sys temo , n a basis: of perpetuity_'• I - basis:: order of the Committee. WM. 11. WELSH, Chairman. Harrisburg, February Ist, 1861. "•••• • The . following, preamble and resolutions were adopted by the State COminittee; assembled as above : • ,Whems The dismemberment of the Union, by the with- I drawal of the slaveholding States, new in rapid progress, has.' hen occasioned by a departure from the Democratia-construe tion of the Constitution of the United States, which holds . "the eqUality of the,.States of the Confederacy," in respect to per sons and property, to be a fundamental principle of such.Con m • . sut ion, and by a contemplated abandonment of, the conserv- Ov r e Democratic policy which has, for sixty years past, sa ' credlyguarded "the rights oflhe States," and developed the 1 resOurand capacities of the people bydomesticAegislation ; thus guidingl,the whole country to r,m eminence of prosperity I an(renown: - `--•„ •- And ft - lured:, A iepeedv qcOgnition of the patriotic coml. sel and conservative polfey,,of the Democratic party in the Administration of the Federal - s Gevernment, by the lieciple of Pennsylvania and ofthe other nofilslaveholding States, is the, .only and sure means of effecting a permanent • re-construction of 4 dissolving Confederacy, .4nd whereas The organization of the Demeeratic party of Pennsylvania; "the Keystone of the 'Federal Arch," noW harmonious, potent and animated by a love of` country, and of the true principles of the Constitution, is entirely com, _petent, if called into immediate action, to restrain threatened sectional violence and to materially aid in reconstructing the federative system on,a basis of perpetuity, ; therefore, [Resolved, That a Democratic State Convention, to consist 1 of three delegates from - each Senatorial and Representative I distriet, three hundred and ninety-nine in all, be held in the city of Harrisburg, on Thursday,- the '2lst day Of February neat, at 3 o'clock, afternoon. • 1 dlesolved, That the - several districts are hereby earnestly in- . vited to take, in the manner most convenient and agreeable to them, prompt and efficient measures to insure a' full,- fair and able representation. • Mf - Th - e abolition Press is busily circulating the false re port that the Democratic State 'Committee, have recognized see?ssion. Those who will read the above resolutions and call' will see the truth of the matter—that the dismemberment bf tholk s overnment is * referred to as a matter of fact. It is to be not that several States have, in fact, declared tbemselvei opt of this Union ; that their Representatives in`Congress have.re -1 • tired, and that a Southern confederacy has been forested; and unless reason shall sway the. Northern mind, and the incoming, adtPinistradon shall cast off its spirit of hate by which it was elec l ted, a final rupture inevitably ensuis.
