W. It. ALLISON, late of the Cadiz .(0.) Republican, and now editor of the Herald, Steubenville, Ohio. So mucb in relation to the mendacious slander about the " cowhide." It is true that I had a difficulty While I resided in Cadiz, but that it was' one of my own begetting, or that. I was in fault, I utterly deny, and am prepared to prciire,ly testimony still stronger than that given stieve—by affidavits of unimpeachable witnesses, if necessary. It is well known that the Presidential campaign of - 1844,'was one of extraordinary excite ment in Ohio. As the Editor of the Democratic pa pist' In Cadiz, I found it necessary, as I thought at the time, to write and publish articles very warm and decided in their chancier, in order to expose the doiags of my political opponents,: as well as to de fend the Democratic party, who, were assailed, in the person of myself. That mapy articles, which ap • pesred in the Seistinal,44,netAiess my opponents, is altogether likely—V.44 *# ran/Tic please them !

In an extra to the Sentinel, dated October 13, 1896, my successors, Messrs.

But we will do as. in as short and concise a manner as possible. A. to the act being in sett defence,,it is a LIE. Mr. Harper was ti peaceable and until- Pending man, and never attacked a man in his life.

It was with extreme reluc tance, that I consented to take any notice or it, whatever; but in consequence of articles which have appeared in ono or two of the papers of this city, within a few days, my friends (in whose judg mental always confide,) have advised me to make this statentent, - ; I, owe an apology to the patrons of the Post, far occupying so much of the paper with a subject in Which'ibe!mrist of them can take Ect mar ner of interest..= " I have done." The State Convention. We conclude, to-day, the publication of the pro ceedings of our Democratic State Convention, which are in an eminent dedice entitled to the at tentive consideration of our readers. The resolu tions are plain, pointed, manly and highly patriot ic ; and in all particulars embody (so far as we feel competent to jualge,) the sentiments of the undaunt ed Democracy of the State. The Address presents to the People, in an able manner, though briefly, the sterling metals of " Pennsylvania , * favorite son," and the determination of the " Keystone State " to abide by the wishes of sister States in the choice of a candidate for the Presidency. We are pleased to learn that, (though there was considera ble warmth of feeling nianif4ted during a part of the session of the Convention.) the greatest degree of harmony and good feeling prevailed at the time of the adjournment. This was right; and is no more than we have a right to expect when our Dem ocratic brethren Convene to consult upon the great measures affecting the interests of our country. Our Conventiob has proved that its members were actuated by that sterling sentiment—" Union, con cession, harmony,—Every thing for the cause,- nothing for men." Under the influences of this sentiment we can never be defeated. The Elect... ral Ticket named for the State is an able one; and will do justice to our cause. Put down Pennsylva nia 33 certain for the nominee of the Baltimore Convention. LOCAL MATTERS - - --- LOCAL Ntws.—Owing to a press of other matter, our " local , 2 have been erlsvded out to-day.

ARREST OF A SWINDLFR:— 00 Saturday last a young man was arrested by raker Bougher, on the steamer Caleb Cope, on a warrant from the Mayor, before whom an information had been made by Mr. liersh :x field, a merchant ufthis city, who charged him with= the larceny of a web ofhandkerchiefs. He gase.h.*: name as Morris, when first taken ; but it 1 St, wards ascertained that his name is E. G. stink obstinately refuted to answer quovturis his examination, but subsequently made a fu'l fession. He has been in the city since Saturday, and stopped at one of the best hotels. His bvggagc was taken. A trunk was found belonging to him, which was opened,and a large quantity of valuable dry goods was picked out. A lut'ralued at about $lOO was identified by Mr. Hershfield. The balance, worth perhaps S2QO, can be neon at the itlayor's, office by any person who has missed dry goods within the past few days. The operations were conducted in a quiet and very adroit manner. Before the examination (tar larceny was finished, another serious charge was prefe:r4d against Mr. E. G. Wi'sem : " Watch Stall, g o " so called. It appears that on Friday, lie succeeded with the aid of a Irony, in victimizmg an innocent merchant from Ohio. Wilson met li in, ibsr oreied that he bad money, and forthwith began an operation. lie sta ted that a friend of his, at a certain house, had a splendid gold watch worth 810, but tieing in a "straight" he would bike $4O for it. Wilson told the innocent referred to that ho (W.) wanted it, but his money was at n certain place, and the holder of the watch had not time to go. The Ohio man suspecting nothing, went and bought the watch for the required sum. this was the last he lieard,okfi Wilson or his friend on that day Of consfill watch was worthless. • f - rdt7s.- -, 4 • Z , .0 While Wilson was in the Mayo-r,solficO r,f,f.,n:.:7 day, a suspicion was entertained by soK`At.:,* was the dealer in gold matches, and enquiriZbiiijigi set on foot at once, ho -was identified. We are told that he stated to the officer on his way to prison that be was from the city of New York, where his wife now lives. She is the daughter of Judge --- of that city. He appeared to be in great distress on account of the disgrace he bad brought upon:his family. From his general conduct it is thought that he is an experienced adventurer, but this is probably his first imprisonment. CFILOROFORII.-"A few days ago we were invited by Dr. T.J. GALLAHEE, to witness an operation upon a young man, of this city, while under the influence of Chloroform. The patient, a few wr eke ago, re ceived a splinter under a finger nail, which soon produced pain and swelling,snd finally ended in in flammation in the .veins; of the arm. This was fol lowed by Erysipelas Phlegnionedes, or violent in flammation of the entire arm apparently of the Ery sipelaious charaCter, which wan rapidly extending towards the body. After consultation, it was decided that in order to arrest the'disease, the arm should be laid open. Chloroform was administered to the sufferer in the usual way: A few drops were put upon a handkerchief which was put into his mouth. Thus prepared, an incision, with a scalpel, was made through the akin and cellular tissue, doWn to the muscles, commencing about two inches above the , elbow and terminating at the wrist. During this operation no symptoms of pain were manifested. This is the most remarkable, and, perhaps; the most successful operation with the use of Chloro form that has come to our notice; and Will do much in establishing a reputation for. Dr. d. Thepatient, we understand, is fast recovering, and in a . few days will be able to be about. bair Mr. McClurg called upon us on Saturday, and requested us to state that he had no connection, as a partner, with Wm. M. Foster, in the management of •the Athenaeum, and that he is sorry that he ever had anything to do with that person in any way whatever.

Mr. Perreitearr moved a resolution that a commit tee of five be appointed by the chair, to whom the proceedings of the Convention be referred, to pre pare the, same for publitation ; agreed to. Mr. CRAFT submitted the following resolution : Resolved, That • WASHINGTON, Feb. 26, IS4B. My Dear Sir : The 4th of March is close upon as. I have, therefore, taken no part in preparations made for the Convention to be held un that day at Harrisburg: It has, however, been 'impossible for me to avoid perceiving that much excitement pre voile and I have 'supposed_ that, under existing circumstances, it would not be deemed intrusive, if 1 ventured to address you a few frank words - on the subject. The arrangements for party combination can only be justified by the patriotic public objects nt which they Mtn. They should sternly be kept.sithiervient to those objects. We design the good of 'Mar coun try in our efforts-to secure for it' a government ad ministered upon Democratic principles: It is this d3iqgn which annob' es iceryixortion; and we'eannot lose sight of it, with, ut incurring. more, or less of dam ger anal dishonor; because 'Democracy is patriot ism i—the Convention is created to unite, invigor ate. and forward Demoerney. Now, it- will-not do - , on light- reasons, to permit this great purpose to be defeated. It is true, Perin• sylvania is but nue of thirty' States, and the Harris burg Conv'ention ein de no more than provide 'for our suitable representation at the Baltimore Conven tion. But we know that the force of the Democracy of Pennsylvania; on that occasion at least, is indis pensable to the Democracy of the Union. That a national overthrow is inevitable, if the State be disorganized, and thit we virtually surren der what're esteem to be the cause of the people and the country, to its adversaries, when we fail to larierr , in full vigor and efficiency, our local ranks.— We must stand guard upon ourselves to prevent the whole from being lost. The fall of the Keystone, could never be more ruinous to the arch. It is not my wish—neither is itdn my power—to influence, in the slightest degree, the actual condi tam' of political pi elbrencce in our Commonwealth. My name was brought befora .the people of the Union, in a manner that places it entirely beyond nay control; and it must accept, without the small est interposition from me, one way or the other, v.hatevaii fate this wide-Nomad tri unal shall assign Ur at. Buy those of my fellow-citizens in Pennsyl raffia; who ' like yourselves, honor it with counte nance, will, 1 trust, 1. ok indulgently upon express. 'log the sentiment, that nothing—at least nothing that can reasonably be anticipated, should for a mo ment, he entertained, te• a justifying cause for any seven by a part ni the Convention, which might we dace, in the entimat on of the general Democra cy, the weight of its proceedings and recommenda tions It is easy to find flaws in the regularity of p irty action ; and el Cry days experience proves how difficult, if not impracticable, a thing it is, to con form strictly to precedents and usages in mat era of this kinu. Cot - Only, it in most wise, most just, and most safe at times of miimited competition, to IZilow, without deviation, a recognized beaten track ; but if this be not dont—were there even obvious and ungenerous departures from modes of proceeding lieretifore deemed cafe-guards to pure and equal representation--idepartures which it is almost un generous to imagine)—still, Lam unwilling that redress sheuld be sought in separation and conflict. Such a remedy, however leoitimate and p•otnising it may seem, is worse than the disease. A majority I may do wrong, but it does not follow that the mi: nority would therefore be right in exposing to im ' minent peril, for their own immediate vindication, the great cause radio country. Let that =lure never be forgotten ; let its vast importance override minor constderations; and let it triumph, whoever may be, ultimately, its standard bearer. Let not your breth rea throughout the confederacy hate grounds to re proach you with ill-timed and fatal pride of opinion. I speak under lessons of experience. The evils of ant• , viti.t organization are always most serious, and its licart-hurniegs seldom, if ever, cured. None of us should f. rpm that the State has rcatcely yet reeinered from the ls•t of these Democratic rup tures, which led di.tmctly to the re charter of the Bank of the United States, a fierce Legislative in qui-oion, and an attempt to nullify the result of a general election, even at the risk of a civil war. For ruy ownpan, I can see nothing more than this.; and while I shall calmly aoide the annexe of action you may think it prof er to pursue, yet 411 l .feel it to he a duty imposed upon me' by my relations to the National, as well as to the State Democracy,, roost respectfully to incnlcate the suggestion, that whatever may prove to be the tone of the Conven tion, its majordy, once distinctly ascertained, shall, without discord or disjunction of any roil, or from any quarter, be frankly allowed to conduct its pro ceedo gi, in accordance with their own sense of right and expediency. 01 course, tin a topic of public concern, like this, I can have no desire to conceal what I think or feel, toil you are entirely at libcity to use this letter as you please. I am, dear sir, vrry edintoroly, Arid most respec•rufly, • Your friend and servant, G. M. PALLAB. E. A.

From the moment v. hen the illustrious JEFFERSON proclaimed the great.creed upon which our organization hassince been founded, to the time when his example was imitated by`Tack- SON, VAN BUREN and POLK, a busy and relentless 'antagonism has constnnily been on the a'ert, deny ing the practicability, misrepresenting the .benefits, or aoticipating the evil consequences of the Demo- - cratic policy. How often have we seen whole corn, munities swayed sod misled by the ominous predic-i thins of Federalism, while deploring and deprecating the tendencies of D mocratic principles ! Bow of: ten have we seen these predictions alienate those who should have been first to denounce and deny; them ! The eloquent and impressive commentary upon this long rind consistent hostility to the Demo cratic creed, is to be found in the flirt, that nt this day hardly a relic' remains of the Federal policy, while thousands who have been among its , leaders now bear unwilling testimony to the complete and sweeping success of Democratic principles.

For a long series of years this distinguished statesman has been connected with the councils aids country i'andAve ate free to refer to his public career, with the -ton . surattee.thnt he is singularly well eualefied to, die charge the Antics of that exalted position, foe the next thiteyears. He comes from n State, to rise his own bee - mill:I language, the. Democracy of which, holds the balance with steady judgment- and - en-- lightened`patt lobate, between the opposite extreme; of conSolidation and disunion." Ever since he has been in our Legislative halts, thiS has been the mot; toiwhich hohas regulated his conduct. /IC has been indeed, on - all occasions, the vigilant anttconsistent representative of the Keystone State:: In regard to Pennsylvania, to use the languageof the' address; adopted by the, great DenwicratieState Convention, Which - assembl eri in this place:in' 1843; haralilf one of the first Its abolish slavery, end occupying 'a peal-, tion, as it Were, between this institution and its mis-• guided enemies„ehe hairever thrown:her weight of character, and counsel; and posititin, with signal success on the side - of the country. This position - , has been admirably .roptesented in the national councils by Mr. BUCHANAN. MR profound disqui-. 'Miens onthe dot tines of State rights, and his con sistent opposition to the maddened excitement of fanatical zeal, while pursuing an imaginary evil,, regardless oldie- t cry existence of our country and our constitution, have become memorable in our political history, and has given los name ti warm place, (not only among his countrymen in that re gion which he has befriended, but every where else,) in the affections of all friends of the country. Penn sylvania thus stands as a barrier between the North and the South, and her gigantic interposition has always been felt with effect, to the - disgrace and confusion of those who plotted our common down fall in the name of philanthropy Pennsylvania presents this distinguished citizen to the Union, at the very moment when such qualities and such experience as his, are most to be desired in our candidate for the Presidency. By withdraw ittg his name from the list of Presidential candidates in 1849, Mr. BUCHANAN increased _his title to the respect and consideration nf . the Oonntry, and show ed how far above all motives of self he: esteemed the union anti the ascendancy of the Democratic, party. If subsequent circumstances changed - the aspect of things, the patriotic spirit in which the act was resOlved upon, did not fail any the leas - to.coni mend it to the approval of the Democracy of the, Union. That it was appreciated by the distinguish. ed Statesman who came into the Ere.t.utive chair three years ago, is Shown by the fant, that one - of the first acts of the Administration was to offer to Mr. Docrfatrest the first place in his Cabinet,--5 po-, sition formerly filled by Jefferson, Adams, Clay,Ver( Buren, Webster, Calhoun, and other Of the master'. intellects of:the age. It is unnecessary to allude to.l the manner in which he has met the expectations of I the President , and the country, jp --this responsible and arduois position, filled during on of the, most eventful administrations in our history, and bearing ,Antimately . Ivan our relations with foreign govern laments. The admiration which - greeted kis masterly argument on the Oregon question, and which has since applauded the ability with which he has -as serted our country's 'eause;in his correspondence with - the Mexican Ministers, is a'proof that James K. Polk knew where to find a wise, a profound, and, an experienced statesman, when he appointed JAMES BUCHANAN Secretary of State. ;- ,We deem it Unitecessary. to allude, at any'length, to the politiCallinitoryofJaitzs BUCHANAN. Every, tine Pennsylvanian knows it by heart. .The ardent: YonirrAmeriCan, who .volunteered to defend hie coUntry; during the'late war,—the friend of Monroe who offered him a foreign mission during his firs session of - Congress -the- friend - of Jackson,: who appointed hint Minister to one of the'most'pegished' - courts of .
