UORNIKG POST JOB OFFICE
We would call the attention of MERCHANTS AND
to the fact that we hare just receded
from a number of fonts of new .lob Type,and
•re now to fill orders for Cards. Gin-iilart,. BUt
H#ada, MBer Bocks, Pasters, and Programmed Hr MhllT
(tons. jfil orders will be promptly filled.
TIIK COSVESTION
We have seldom had so full a Convention in
this county os that which assembled yesterday,
nod have never seen one composed of better
men. Middle-aged and old gentlemen composed
n majority of the Convention. Men loDg attached
to the Democratic turned out ibis time in
earnest for the cause. It was certainly a good
evidence that the Democracy is aroused and re
solved to make a vigorous and harmonious effort
to redoem Allegheny County. It can be done if
nil oar friends will go to “work this fall in the
right spirit. Oar opponents are divided. Wo
are united, and now is our time to win.
The foreign nows is of interest. The
Allies, it seems, have resolved to do something
in the Baltic. Helsingfors is to be bombarded.
Oxner Pasha goes to Asia, to take command of
tho Turkish army there. Tho bombardment of
Sebastopol bad been recommenced. The assault
to follow will be-a bloody one, but its success is
moro than doubtful. Sebastopol is not yet
taken.
TUfi TICKET
We had yesterday the best Democratic Coe
mention that ever assembled in thi9 county ; and
it has given ns the best ticket the Democracy
has ever presented for the support of the people.
Jadgo Wilkins' namo heads the ticket Tho
old campaigner has come in to the rescue. For
merly Member of Congress, Minister to Russia,
and Secretary of War, he now consents to run
for State Senate. Could a better man have
been found io the State to head our ticket
Rody Patterson for Sheriff. That will do,
said every Democrat. I will vote for him said
many a Whig. Wo are much mistaken if he Joes
not make a sweeping ruu of it. There is hardly
a man in the county that does notkaow him and
respect him. He has served the Democracy we’i
and faithfully for twenty-five years We can
reward him now.
Thomas Blockmore for Treasurer, lie, too,
is well known, and we doubt whether he has an
enemy in the world. We know he has hosts of
friends in all parties. His name, too, give*
strength to the ticket.
Capt. John Birmingham for Trotbouotary.
No party can present a bettor man He must
be a good Demoorat to beat such competitors as
ran against him. C&ft. B. is abundantly quali
fied for the office, and is universally esteemed.
William Alexander for Coroner None will
doubt his Demooracy, or bis fitness for tho
offioe. No Demoorat will fail to support him.
Jaoob Tomer for Commissioner Don’t every
body know him * It is a good nomination, and
Will be well supported Ho is just the man for
the place. ' ‘
We have not time to speak of tho balance of
the ticket now ; but will speak of them-again
We challenge even our opponents to say that a
better tioket was ever presented in this county
by any party. Tho Demooracy should respond
cordially to this good work of tho Convention,
and go to work vigorously for a triumph.
TUB POST SUSTAINED.
The question io regard to the “Test” was
yesterday distinotly before the Democratic Con
vention, and distinctly and most emphatically
deoided in favor of the Pott. Tho words “ never,
hat been a member of the secret order," wero strick
en out of the Test by a voto of 80 to 20 four to
one. The arguments used by tho majority were
the same as we had employed to justify our
course in the Committee, and in this paper. We
welcome back to our party all who loft it, but
are disposed to return. Any other course would
have been proscriptive and impolitic, and would
have driven off perhaps hundreds of votes. The
Convention has deoided it right, and we arc re
joiced at the result.
Again: The Post has been much abhsed by a
few bcoauso it was io favor of a straight-out
Democratic tiokot. A motion of Mr. Donnelly,
yesterday, put that question directly in issue
before the Convention. Mr. Donacliy was op
posed to the nomination of a ticket, and wanted
fusion yet. After an earnest discussion, tho
vote was taken by yeaß and nfajs, and resulted :
For a fall Democratic tioket 79
For Fusion. i 8
Has the Post expressed the eentimentß of the
party or not? Let that rote answer. Is the
“old” Post sustained?
Usmahlt Outrage.—J. L. Martzey, who re
sides at Shelbyville, Indiana, being on bis way
to Cincinnati, Btopped at Middletown all night.
At the house was a little orphan girl, in whoso
behalf he expressed mnch sympathy, and he
kindly offered to take her down to Cincinnati,
show her the oity, and restore her again to her
guardians. Bhe was permitted to acoompaDy
him, and on their arrival in Cincinnati, they
Stopped at the Qalt House ; and in the afternoon
the house was alarmed by pieroing shrieks from
her room, on entering whioh the poor ohild was
discovered most brutally and inhumanly out
raged. She, it is feared, has been fatally inju
red. He was arrested, and it is hoped may
meet with just punishment.
Pease. Leslie's Jouehal for September is
received. It is the beßt number we have seen of
it. The plates are excellent, and worth the
whole prioe of the Journal for a year. The
reading matter ia excellent, too. For sale by
Miner & Co., and Qildenfenney &. Co.
It will be seen that the ticket whioh the
Post has published for aomo time past, has been
pretty generally nominated by the Convention.
Does the Post express the views of the party ?
JOT The proceedings of the Convention crowd
out a good deal of other matter to-day

no Delegate !-e allowed in this Conven

Mr. Irwin replied tv: this by sayi&g that tho

pledge was strong enough without adding the
amendment . tb“ evidence that Democrats have

The Chairman, Col. Black. mU that a ques

Mr. Williams then moved to amend the amend
ment, by requiring ail candidates nominated by
the Convention to eiga the test. This was ac
cepted without dissent
Mr. Burgher, of Pitt township, had no doubt
many Democrats had erred . but if they repent
ed. they should be allowed to come back.
The question on the amendment was then put,

Mr. Barnett moved to go into nomination for
a county ticket.
Mr. Alexander requested leavo to say, beforo
puttiog this to vote, that he hod been instructed
by hie constituency io the Eighth Ward to advo
oate a fasion ticket.
Mr. Donnelly, of East Deer, eaid there were
many in this Convention who thought it better
not to make a nomination at present, and he
wanted it to adjourn, and have a people's ticket
nominated.
Mr. Bnrghcr objected to fusion, and was sur
prised to see those who denounood tho Know
Nothings so bitterly, advocating suoh a measure.
If anybody wanted to work for fusion, let him
go out of this Convention aod do it.
The ayes and noes were thon ordered to be
oalled on Mr. Barnett's motion, with tho follow

LETTER KRuM JUDGE WILKINS
iioMewcufc, August 21st, 1805.
To the President of the Allegheny County Demo
cratic Convention
Bin: —i address this noto to you, with tho
request that you will do me tbo honor to submit
it to tho gentlemen of the Democratio Conven
tion of Allegheny county, when assembled in
this city.
I have been referred to, in conversation, by
some of my fellow-ciiizons, and by paragraphs
in the publio papors, as one likely to bo pre
sented to the Convention for nomination as a
candidate for the State Senate. I, therefore,
very rospeotfally request that my name may not
bo submitted to tbo Convention with a view to
that nomination.
The circumstances whioh induce me thus to
withdraw myself from the notioo of kind fellow
citizens, (who have already filled my heart with
gratilade,) are so obvious and well-known to my
friends and neighbors, that I feel relieved from
the neoessity of particularising them. I am
only anxious that the gentlemen of the Conven
tion may not not draw tho inferenoe, that I am
so vain as to suppose 1 should reoeive a vote
placing me in nomination. I simply desire, by
my present declaration, that all embarassment
and useless casting of voteß may be avoided in
making your selection of a candidate for the
Senate ; which, 1 feel assured, will be a happy
and successful one.
You, Sir, and the gentlemen of tho Conven
tion will please to aooept the assurance of my
very high consideration and respect, and my
wish for the harmony of your proceedings and
final aucoesß in your patriotic exertions.
Your fellow citisen,
WM. WILKINS.

Gentlemen —Tho nomination of our neigh

the Democratio party to bo truly national, and
embrace within Its soope tbo wbolo of theso
Uoitod States, and to koop said Statos a pure
and porfeot union.
Resolved, That wo pledge ourselves collective
ly, os a party, to act in open hostility to that
party commonly or generally known as tbo Know
Nothing party, (and characterised by our Chair
man as the “ midnighters ”) deeming the princi
ples of said party destruotivo of all true repub
licanism, and of tbo high ennobling principle of
freedom of oousoiencc, tho corner-stone upon
whioh has boon oreoted tho most brilliant and
stupendous fabric of self-government over fash
ioned by humau ingenuity or the power of intel
lect.
Resolved, That in the comiDg ooutest, with an

freedom.
Resolved, That the popular vote against tbo
passage of a prohibitory liquor law compels tbe

meet with an untiring hostility until repealed.
The resolutions were voted on separately, and
all unanimously adopted, with the exooption of
the last, whioh Mr. Irwin moved to lay on tbe

Mr. Large spoke in opposition to the amend
ment. Mr. Farley moved to lay both resolution
and amendment ou the table. Lost.

as an amendment to tho amendment; which was

Resolved, That the views and principles of the
present State administrations, embodied in tho
acts passed by tho recent Legislature, and ap
proved by the Governor, by which the interests
of the State have been, or are proposod to be,
seriously and injuriously affected, contrast
strongly with the wise and judicious p.licyof
Gov. Bigler, and tend to show the dangor of en
trusting the eontrol of the Commonwealth to
the hands of men who are swayed by fanaticism
and governed by prejudice.
Toe annexed resolutions were adopted as a
substitute for the last resolution of the Commit
tee and Mr. Alexander’s amendment:

Oao of the most flagrant oases of humanity
that has over came under our notioo was brought
to light in Germantown on Sunday. The facts
of tho case were so revolting that were it not
for the positite proof of the testimony we coaid
scarcely credit that each a heartless piece of in
famy could bo perpetrated in our midst Oq
Thursday last & man named Cornelius Howard,
residing at Germantown, who has bceu sick for
somo timo, was soizod with convulsions, when
his wife requested hie brother, Patrick Howard,
to go after a doctor. Tho brother refused to do
this, when tho wife with that nobleness of char
acter incident to woman, went out het self for tho
medicajftoao.
W£Uo she was absent, It is alleged that Pat
rick Howard took from the neck of his dying
brother, a key to the bureau, with which to un
look it and stole therefrom s3oo in gold. The
koy was replaced and the brute remained in tho
room until the return of the wife. Col. Henry
McManus, one of the Clerks of tho Mayor, hear
ing of tho case and being acquainted with the
partite, he went to Oermantowo, and commanl
; w ifed the statement to Licul. Croat, who found
| Patrick Howard early in the morning, and close
; ly watched him until bis retarn from the funeral j
\ which took place yesterday afternoon, when ho
| arrested him.
i Ho was takon to a room and searched, every
{ vestige of clothing being removed from his per
roa Nothing was found, and the tcarch was
about to bo given op, when one of the otlioere,
on pickio;* up Patrick's coal, felt something like
| a book sewed in the lining. O-j being cat cut,
I two account books with Havings Institutions (in
; each of which sls3 had been deposited) were
found to be what the officer supposed to bo a
: picket took. Patrick said that the money do
p-:«ito-J was hl«, and that it consisted of notes on
f the Hank of Germantown when be deposited it ,
tut unfortunately for him, the officers of the In
i stuation say that the money consisted of gold,
| and :t answers precisely the dcecripticn of the
j oio&ry taken from the bureau,
j The worst feature of this barbarous care is
I ret to be told The widow of this wretch's own
j brother has three little children, and the money
j was all »b« had in the world, consequently, if
| it hai net been recovered, she, with her huh
1 children, would have been thrown penniless ov.

" Ueria street wss In commotion yeetcrJ&y
creniog, owing to s stampede among the boys in
the flense of Refuge, seventy-two of whom
bolted at one dash, making a bee line for the
woods. Tho plan of their escape was well laid,
and need not be attributed to any want of vigi -
lance on the part of tho officers, most of whom
were on duty at the timo. In the rear of the
oeespool Is a gato, which is completely masked
by it
While a majority of the hoyß were up stairs
goiog through tho religions exercises, under tho
Instructions of tho Rev. Mr. Brown, tho eeoretr,-
ry of the Board, a few of tbo old hands, and
most incorrigible vagabonds, secreted themselves
in the rear of the cesspool and cut away tbo bar
that secured tbo gate. This being accomplished,
the boys, at a signal from their fugleman, made
a rash for the opening, and, as already remark
ed, sovonty-two suooeedod in making their os
c .po before the otnmpodo could bo arrested. This
impede may shock tho questionable philan

but it will be a great saving lo tiu city treasury

PsuTtY Goon roa Pat. —Tho other day, tho
oonduotor of a train on our railroad discovered
an Irishman in a oar soon aftor starting from
homo and domanded his fare. Pat declared ho
bad no money. The conductor after lcotaripg
him told him to leave at the first stopping place,
not far distant. Pat was one of the
first to got off at the next station. But judge of
tbo condaotor’s surprise and wrath to find him
aboard wbon fairly under way. “Didn’t I tell
you to get off?” “ And sure I did.” “ Why
then, are you here again ?” “ And suro, did you
not say, * all aboard ! This was too muoh for
the worthy oonduotor, and notwithstanding tho
degree against “ deadheads ” bo was allowed to
" pass."

Tho Toledo Blade publishes tho marriage of
Mr. John Paddle to Emily Canoe, and adds that
the happy groom oan exolaim with tho poet,—
“ I paddle my own canoe."
A lady walking with her husband on tho

der veesol you would bo exported, and 1 should
bo transported ”
Western newspapers are having a little fun
at the expense of New Hampshire. A person
travelling in that state thus writes to a Toledo
print. It ie not true:
“ All along the route I noticed great tracts of
rooks carefully fenced in, for no other reason,
that I oould imagine, than to keep the onttle out,
and thus prevent their starving to death.”
“ People my Bay what they will about country

49" Disease* of the Divert-When the cele- [
brate l Dr. Ruah declared that drunkem.ee* was a disease, j
enunciated a truth which ths. ex* erience and observa- j
of me Heal men la every day confirming. The many j
apparently insane excesses of those who Indulge In the use j
of spirituous liquors, may be thus accounted tor. The true j
cause of conduct, which is taken for Infatuation, Is Tory .
frequently a diseased state of the Liver. No organ in the
human system, when deraDged, produces a more frightful
catalogue of diseases. And If, instead of applying remedies
to tte manifestations of disease, as is too often the case,
physicians would prescribe with a view to the original
cause, fewur deaths would result from diseases Induced by
a deraDged state of the Liver. Three-fourths of the diseases
enumerated under the head of Consumption, have their seat
in a diseased Liver. (Bee Dr. Gunn’s great works.)
l’urchasors will please be careful to ask for, and take none
but Dr. M’Lane’fl Liver Pills. There are other Pills, pur
porting to be Liver Pills, now before the public.
