DEMOCRATIC COUNTY MEETING READ/Na, Pa., April 11th. 1563. Wit. R. .11r.nn1nrr, EM Chairman Democratic Alaadl.f, Committee gi Berke County. air. .r--Recent events, now fresh In your memory, have developed a feverish excitement in the public wind. which in ibis fearful aisle of oar conntry'e history, is well calcu lated to alarm every lover of law and order. No pen-Genii the citizens of our common country are more devoted to the support and maintenance, in all their vigor and Integrity, of the Constitution and the laws, than the Democracy of Berke—they do not now nor have they at any time for a moment contemplated any act in deroga tion of either; condone of the purity of their motives and moral certitude of their conduct, they have for some time reit alarm at the (mummy and boldness with which both their Moillee and Conduct have boon emailed. Still. they were willing patiently to bear them. foul aspersions became until very recently they suffered only in common With their fellow-citizens entertaining similar political sentiments, in other counties and in other Staten. This privilege has now been denied them ; information has been lodged, founded on mere rumor, which has ended in the arratit Of some of her citizens whom charactere, here tofore. have never been called in question ; ee.l GAs hag been followed by a partisan Press, charging openly open the whole body of the Democratic citizens of Serbs, crimes which if true would render them unworthy of citizenship in a free country. These charges have beenspread far and wide over the land, and as no one except the people them milvee can properly vindicate their own character and publish to the world their wa sentimentealld Opiniona,we as individual members of shot party, respectfully regnant you, as its proper organ, - to call a general Masa Meeting of the Democracy of Berko, to be held at Reading at the earliest day convenient, for the purpose of yvvudiating - with scorn the fool chargrA brought again* them, and of publishing to the country tee gent ingags and ~pini.aa. valMerittellw Mian . ._ S.

ALBRIGHT, • Chairman of the Democratic Standing Committee. Reading, Aprill4, 1563. P. S.—The Members of the Standing Committee are re cinested to meet at the Keystone Dense, at U. o'clock, A_ IL, of said day. sir OUR CORRESPORMINT X has sent us a re joinder to the Journal of last week. We are compelled to postpone its publication until next Saturday, on account of the pressure of War News and local matters upon our columns this morning. RATIONAL CONVENTION.—The Report of the minority of the Committee on Fe(lerol Iteietione, of the State Senate, on the petitions of citizens of Pennsylvania for a National Convention of the States as a means of peace and redtoration of the Union, will be found on the fourth page of this week's paper_ It was in typo for insert ion last week, but crowded out by a press of other matter that could not be deferred. COUNTY MEETING. The call for a General Mass Meeting of the Democrats of Barks county, will be found at the head of this column. Its object is sufficiently explained in the letter to the Chairman of the Standing Committee, requesting him to make the tell. The eventS which have ooeurred within the last fortnight in this county, and the high handed attempts which have been made to affix the brand of treason upon a people who have never yet faltered in their obedience to the Con atitution and Laws, and to overawe them from the peaceful exercise of their rights as freemen, render such a meeting at this time not only prop er but necessary, for the purpose of vindicating their reputation from the foul and false asper sions which partizan malignity has east upon them, and taking measures of self-protection against any interference with their rights and privileges as citizens of a free country, by the threats, intimidations and open violence of law less mobs. We hope to see this meeting fully attended, as it doubtless will be, and that the Democracy of Berks will speak out freely and feesleaely es Memos a people who acknowledge no master but the Constitution and laws of their own making. The names appended to the above call are but a email portion of the actual signatures received. 'the crowded state of oar columns compels us to emit at least five hundred; embracing law-abiding and Union-loving citizens of every district of the -county. GOV. CURTIN WITHDRAWS. Governor Curtin has adopted the famous opin ion of honest dock Falstaff, that "the better part of valor is discretion," In a message I o the Legislature, on the day of their adjournment, be announces his determination to withdraw from the canvass for a re-nomination for Governor. Failing health, and the offer by the President of "% high position at th& expiration of his present term of offioe," are the reasons assigned for his withdrawal. We think ho has noted wisely, for the prospect of two successive, and, as they are sure to be, fierce and exciting conflicts—first, for the nomination, and afteriard, before the peo ple, for the office, with extreme doubt as to the result in either case, might well appal a man of stronger nerves and more robust fhysical con dition than the Governor now possesses. Those who have seen him lately, will certify to the fact of hie shattered health, and commend the pru dence of hie choice to consult personal comfort in preference to political ambition. But, it. is singular that the President should offer him the high position alluded to, so long a time in ad vance. We do not think another instance can be found of record, in which an officer of the Fed eral Government, has been appointed eight mesas before ho was expected w enter upon his duties. If it were proper to regard such a matter in any other than a serious light, we would be disposed to set it down as one of the sly jokes for which the President is chiefly distinguished. It has vary mutt the appearance of the bargains that , are sometimes made by parents with their re fractory sons—he offer of a tempting reward in future upon condition of good behaviour in the interval. The only hold the Administration now has upon Pennsylvania, is through her Governor. The Legislature, the other State officers, and a majority of the people, are opposed to it. But Pennsylvania is too important a State to lose in carrying out the Abolition programm& That must ho sustained, Union or no Union; the Con scriplion Law must be enforced; the "Copper heads " must be taught submission; their impu dent claim to the rights of free Speech, free dis cession, and a free press, must be put down; (he absolute authority of the Administration to set aside Constitution, law and State sovereignty, and to do whatsoever it pleases, under "the War Power," must he maintained; and Abolition rule must he perpetuated, if need be, at the point of the bayonet. Governor Curtin is• the man who must assist in this work, so far as it is to be done in Pennsylvania: and therefore the Presi dent tells him to stay where he is, and, to secure his fealty to his masters—for the Governor has not been, heretofore, ono of the most willing tools of the Administration—holds out to him the reward ho seeks, to be conferred elf ter hie work is done. In this light, and we can view it in no other, the tender of office to Governor Curtin, is by no means a compliment, but the mereporchare of support. However, the bargain has been struck, and from this date forward, we may expect to see the Administration policy rig idly enforced in Pennsylvania, so far as her Gov ernor has power to enforce it, Wo have no more to say, except to inform our readers that the "high position" which has been tendered to Governor Curtin is understood to be the Mission to Spain. HON. HIESTER CLYMER. The prospects of the nomination of this gen— tleman as the Democratic candidate for Governor, are every day brightening. Ms manly, fearless and at the same time traly constitutional and patriotic course in the State Senate during the session just closed, has won him hosts of friends throughout the Commonwealth, who will work zealously to make him the leader of the party in the approaching canvass. In addition to the counties that have already elected delegates fer him, we are gratified to publish the following recent demonstrations in his favor from stroog Democratic districts: THIRTEENTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT.—The De mocratic Senatorial conferees of the 18th district, composed of the counties of Snyder, Montour, Northumberland and Columbia, met at Northum berland and elected Isaac Raker Senatorial Del egate to the Democratic State Convention, with instructions to vote for Dtwernn CLYMER fie the nominee of the Democratic party for Governor. PERRY County—The Democratic Convention of Perry county met at Bloomfield on Monday, the 13th, and elected Henry D. golf Represen— tative delegate to the 11th of June Democratic State c onvention, unanimously itietructing him to vote for the nomination of RIMER CLYMKa as the candidate of tho Democratic party for Governor. These instructions are an index of the rising popularity of Mr. CIiTMEM, and will encourage his Meads at home to more active efforts in fa vor of his nomination. An abler or purer man, or one who unites within himself more of the elements!, of political strength, cannot he chosen. And this, we believe, is beginning to be the pre vailing opinion of the Democracy of the State at large. The Adler, our old German organ, in its issue of the ith inst., published Mr. GLIIIIIe3 late speech in the Senate on national affairs, accom panied with the following remarks, which it af fords us pleasure to heartily endorse: " This speech exhibits Mr. Clymer in the light of both a fearless and a talented and eloquent man, and therefore it is deserving of tho atten tion of the people as if will undoubtedly obtain the appreciation of his more immediate constit uents in Berke county. There is in it a determ - ined and firm language, which bears evidence of settled views and opinions, and of the courage to set them forth at the right place and at the right time. "We cannot allow this occasion to pass by, without acknowledging at this place our high satisfaction at tht- excellent lad dignified alti— tude of Senator Clymer during the whole presen session. Always at his post, with vigilant eye watching and guarding the interests of his Coun ty and of the State generally, he suffered no op portunity to pass for advocating, and as far as was possible, for bringing the principles of De mocracy to bear on all the general acts before the Senate. He has made thereby naturally hosts of friends in all parts of the State. "Derks county has every reason to be proud of this, her son, and may justly expect, that he, recommended as he was by Lite Demoeraey of the county in their late Convention as a candidate for Governor, will receive the fullest regard in the June Convention at the hands also of the Democracy of the State. There is scarcely any doubt whatever,:that with Mester Clymer as the candidate for Governor, the most splendid oleo_ lioncampaign can and will be fought through with the surest success by the Democracy in the coming fall election." TIM NINs IVIONTIIB' MEL—The main object of the recent visit of Uovernor Curtin to the army of the Potomac, we are informed, was for the purpose of promoting the success of the re-enlist ment of those whew terms will expire in a few weeks, In this, the information is, that ho has been highly successful ; arid- it is believed that at least two-thirds of the nine mouths' men will re enlist, after they have had a month's leisure and recreation at home. All who re enlist will receive the full bounties, and their number will go to make up oar quota of the new call that will be made under the Conscript law.—Philadel phia Press. NEW COUNTERREIT.—The following new and dangerous counterfeit on the notes of a flank that has a considerable circulation in this vicinity, is noticed in the last issue of Peterson's Detector; farmers' and Droners' Rank, Itaynesbury, Pa.-58, altered—vig. farmers loading hay : right end, 5, portrait of a girl; left end, Ave, female kneeling, with sheaf of grain on her head. ELECTION NEWS The most cheering news we can present to our readers this week, after the reverses that our gallant forces have encountered within the last ten (lays, are the late returns of olooliOns in va• rious States and districts. Milwaukee city and county have given nearly G,OOO Democratic majority, electing nearly all the Democratic nominees for the municipal offi ces. La Demme, Kenosha, and other large towns, hitherto generally Abolition, have gone the twee way; and it is believed that the Democratic can didate for Supreme Judge in the State at large, (Wisconsin) is elactea. Detroit., Michigan, gives 700 Democratic ma jority, and the State at large Dhows great Demo cratic gains. St. Paul, Minnesota, has gone Democratic, under very discouraging circumstances. Ohio, *ith the exception of Cincinnati, Clove land and a few other places, has made a clean Democratic sweep, carrying the State by a ma jority estimated at 25,000 to 20,000—more than three times as large as it was last fall. The Democrats have carried Trenton, N. J., by a majority of about 400. Franklin S. Mills is re elected Mayor by a handsome majority, and the Democrats have carried five of the six wards, electing their whole city ticket and making a clean sweep. In Connecticut the Democrats have carried Hartford by 400 majority—a gain of nearly 100 since the general eleotion,—electing fourteen Councilmen anti three Altiernten, to lon Abolition Councilmen and two Aldermen. For one Alderman t here:is a tie. The city of New Haven has been car riwij by the Democrats by 130 more majority than Seymour received for Governor. The State is to day Democratic. The Charter election in Albany, New York, on Tuesday, terminated gloriously for the Democ racy. The Argus says the victory is unexampled in their history. The Democrats elected ten of the eleven Aldermen and eight of ten Supervi sors--every ward but the 4th being Democratic, and the Abolition majority in that ward'being small. There were upwards of 8,000 votes polled, awl the average Democratic majority was tO. So we go. Depend., upon it " there's a good time coming_" THE LEGISLATURE. The State Legislature adjourned finally on Wednesday at noon. The General Appropriation bill, and all the necessary measures for keeping the machinery of our State Government in run ning order for the next nine months, were per fected and passed previous to the close of the session, so that there is no likelihood of a special meeting of the Legislature during the summer. According to custom, on the last day of the session, the Speaker of the Senate, Mr. LAW RENON, resigned the Chair, and the Hon. JOHN P. PENNEY, (Rep.) of Allegheny county, was elected Speaker for the recess. The Demetfratio Senators voted for the Hon. Ilicevan CLVIS/ ail, of Berks. Mr. Penney had 19 votes, and Mr. Cly• um 13. The latter received thd compliment of a unanimous nomination by the Democratic eau- We are obliged to defer our report of the Ins six days' proceedings of the Legislature mai neat week. THE lIAAR/SBURO CHILD•MURDER.—Our read ers will doubtless remember the case of a little girl named Mary Elizabeth German, of Harris burg, who was decoyed from her home on the night of the 3d of October last, and brutally murdered by some fiend hi human shape, who, notwithstanding the most diligent search was made for him, under the incentive of the offer of large rewards, escaped detection for the time. We now learn that the old adage, "murder will out," seems about to be verified by the diseoveryof the murderer of this poor child. The Harrisburg Patriot t - Union of Thursday, says: "Some days ago Mrs. Weitzel of this city, ac companied by Mr. Emanuel German and officer Fleck, went to Dayton, Ohio, to examine an alleged murderer confined in the prison there, supposed to be the fiend that outraged and mur dered little Nary Elizabeth German in the month of October last. The District Attorney has in- formation from officer Fleck to the effect that the witness, Mrs. Weitzel, at once identified the prisoner as the individual in whose company she had seen the deceased on the evening prior to the murder. What revelations, if any, the prix• oner made in regard.to that horrible tragedy, is not stated, and we must await allicer Fleck's re turn for further developments. It will'he a re— lief to our whole community to know that the perpetrator of fire meat fiendish outrage on record has at last been detected. Should he escape conviction on the charge for which be was ar rested at Dayton, he will be brought hero for trial." • BOAHU OF CONTROLLMRS.

With the exception of the male department, they retied the Institution in excellent order, cleanly and well regulated, and the physical wants of the inmates properly attended to. The Inquest are satisfied that the Steward, Jacob H. Conrad, is a faithful and attentive officer, and that he carefully discharges the duties entrusted to him. A portion of the male insane department, nut owing to soy fault of the StowarJ, Is In a condition diefiredilabla to the county and revolting to humanity; owing to the Want of en fficient accommodations, a large number of male in sane paupers are confined in the basement story of the hos pital building, the back part of which is below the level of the ground. Their colic are datk, without ventilation and from the impossibility of preserving the inmates in a cleanly con dition are most intolerably offensive. Many of the lunatics are violent and dangerous, and them it is necessary to chain. The condition of thew unfortunate beings, mana cled in unavoidable darkness and filth, excluded from ventilation, from society, from any cheerful eights or sounds, is utterly deplorable. It cannot be known to the people or this county, or we are satisfied that it would hate been long duce corrected. /t cannot be the Wish of the citizens of Serge, comfortable au the majority of them are in their own homes' and eympathising as they do with what is liberal, humane and right, that these rinhap prpersons should thus languish out their miserable lives in physical suffering and excluded from any of the condi tions encouraging even a glimmering hope of returning reason. T'lle Inquest are unanimous in recommending to the proper auttturitien the erection of a new building, nuitably located and planned with a specie/ reference to the judici ons treatment of the insane. This ehonld be done after a careful consultation with those who have the mud intelli gent and practical knowledge of the subject, Co that no unnecessary expense may be Incurred, and at the saute time the present wants of the county anti our probable necessilies for come Om iv come way be sufficiently pro vided for. The Inquest, before conchulleg, would suggest, that some regular arrangement should be made for religious inetruc lion In the Aline Mouse. Its inmates are numerous, they are old and young, male and female. Children are growing up, who have a right to the teachings of Christianity ; the aged are passing away who have a right to its hopes and consolations. Many of these bare men better drys, they have had respectable positions in life, have been members of our various ohurchee, have enjoyed the comforts of home, and have had their children growing up around them. The supply of their physical wants in not our only duty. In the main building there is a ball fitted up for religious service and large enough to accommodate the In mates of the Institution. Ike believe that the clergymen of the city of Reading and neighborhood would, if a eye tematic arrangement were made, officiate by turas, so that retlgione worship in English and German could be secured every Sunday afternoon. The Inquest return their ac knowledgments to the °Mere connected with the Court and the Institution for the aid and facilities afforded them In the dthetherge or their duties. All of which is respectfully Emitted, , MUMMY I. wohyr, Mtn% ORGAN DEDICATION. The great event of last Sunday, was the dedication o the new Organ at St. John's, (Rev. Mr. Kw odig'c) Lath eras Church. S It le really a noble instrument, possessing great power, extent and variety; perfect In egnality of tone, and rich ness of combination. A large congregation was rapt in admiration an its dulcet notes rolled through the sacred edifice in solemn grandeur. The angregation may be proud of the instrument, as it Is by far the best in Reading or the county, reflecting great honor on the congregation, who. with the aid of a liberal public, furnished the moans of procuring It. John Enditch, Ebq presided at the Organ, and played in a masterly manner, exhibiting the instrument to every possible advantage. This distinguished gentleman has long ranked among the beet amateurs in this city, and durfng his Consulship at Basle, he studied music with the fathers of the divine art." His playing on the occa sion referred to, was truly eloquent, and I was proud that we poseeesed so talented a performer. The car . olir wore sublimely sung by the choir and con gregation, and the effect was unappeased. Among the best sacred compositions in the Lutheran Church, are the productions or Martin Luther, who was distinguished for his lankiest acquirements. WorHOTEL AND RESTAURANT KEEPRREI' FOND.
