THE STATE CONVENTION
The near approach of,the time for holding the
Democratic State Convention, is naturally draw
ing the public mind, with increasthg interest,
toward the probable action of that important
body. Those who feel how weighty.e consid
erations are which hang upon its deliberations
and ultimate decisions, cannot refrain from an
expression of their intense anxiety for the result.
The question is asked, with an earnestness never
before felt, will this Convention, as a represen
tative of the great National party that, for so
many years, successfully administered the gov
ernment in strict accordance with the letter and
spirit of the Constitution, and, abjuring all sec
tionalism, held the Union together in the bonds
of mutual fraternity and interest—will it rise to
the full measure of the importance of the work
before it, and, regarding only the present and
future welfare of the people who confide in it,
and the perilous condition a our now distracted
country, act as the spirit of pure patriotism, and
a sense of the dowers that assail not only the
Union, but the Very fabric of freedom itself,
shall dictate ? Or will it be a mere repetition of
what such bodies have too often been in former
and ordinary times—a squabble of rival factions
and petty local or personal interests, each intent
on gaining its own selfish, and perhaps, unwor
thy ends? The people expect much at the hands
of this Convention, and should they be doomed
to disappointment, a fearful responsibility will
rest upon the heads of those to whom that dis
appointment shall have to be charged.
The choice of a candidate for Governor will be
the most important work of the Convention. The
lames are eatraortlinary awl momentous, and de
mand a man who is fully equal to them. The
call is loud and peremptory for a candidate whose
honesty is igiblemished and unassailable—a man
of nerve, of independence, and patriotism that
cannot be shaken—a man who, if elected, will
stand, with unblenohing courage and determina
tion, midway between the assaults of rebellion
and treason on the one hand, and the equally if
not were dangerene encroachments ef arbitrary
power on the other. He should be, too, in heart
and soul—in every fibre of his body, every erne •
lion of his mind, and every impulse of his
spirit—a thorough Pennsylvanian, with manhood
enough to resist the arrogant assumptions of
corporate power within our borders, and to repel
all aggressions of Federal authority upon our
reserved State rights, which we have heretofore
exercised in strict harmony with and obedience
to all our constitutional obligations to the Fed
eral Government. This is the style of man the
crisis calls for. The standard is high, but not
too high to be reached, if the Convention will
seek to reach it with clean hands and an honest
purpose*Our own county, as we believe, pre
sents a candidate whO can come up to the mark,
and be the people's successful champion in the
coming campaign. But, while we would rejoice
to see the choice fall upon a native son of Berks,
we shall not urge personal preferences, even in
his favor, at a time like this. Give us the man—
itild Come he from what quarter he may, we shall
joyfully hail him as our leader, and, for the sake
of the cause of "UNION AND LIBERTY," to which
the Pennsylvania Democracy are irrevocably
pledged, will join, heart and hand, with the De
mocratic masses of the State at large, in labor
ing to secure the victory which, with such a
leader, will surely await us.
Aa 4ppropriAto to Oil subject, ivo 444 the fol
lowing earnest appeal, from the Harrisburg . Pa
triot and Union of Thursday :
Tire lirn OF JUNE CONVENTION.—We need of
fer no excuse to men of sense, who appreciate
the condition of the country and the require
ments of the hour, for referring occasionally to
the Gubernatorial nomination, and expressing a
hope that on that subject all may be well with us.
We are passing through perilous times. Can
we rise, as a people, to the height necessary to
carry us through them? Can we comprehend
the immense magnitude of the issues involved ?
Can we divest ourselves of mere personal par
tialities and petty local interests ? Can we be,
in heart and soul, patriots for the time, and sac-
Pifiee every other consideration to the demands
of that patriotism ?
How will our State Convention, so soon to
meet, look at the matter—as wise, unselfish
statesmen, regarding only the true interests of
the State and party, or as petty politicians, in-
Capable of thing above the interests of cliques
and factions?
We hope to see its deliberations characterized
by lofty and holy considerations.
We hope to see it determine, from first to last,
that no man unfitted for the times, no candidate
unworthy of the support of the people, in any
respect, shall receive its nomination.
If this hope ,shall prove well founded,—if it
shall give us a man of brains, a man of experi—
MO, e Motown, and at the mine time a man of
irreproachable moral character, one v/ho is above
the arts of the petty demagogue, and scorns all
the tricks of the mere politician, we think we
can say it will be well with us—the State will
be rescued from Abolition rule, the Democratic
party will be placed permanently in power, and
we may do much towards redeeming our country
from the grasp of those who are seeking its over
throw-
If, unfortunately, a different course should be
pursued, and a leader unworthy to carry our
standard should be selected, it is painful Lo think
of the evil which might follow.
We implore the delegates to think seriously
before they come to Harrisburg.
WAR PRIOREL—We are having some pretty hard
experience of "war prices" here at the North,
but it is as nothing compared to what they are
suffering down in " Dixie," as the following quo
tations of the Richmond market will show, taken
from a stray number of the Richmond Sentinel of
May 11th, which was brought home by one of
the released prisoners of the 128th Pennsylvania

Vallandighanes Address to the Ohio
Demociacy.
MILITARY CRItiON,
CINCINNATI, 01110, May 22, 18(i3.
To the Democracy of Ohio :
Banished from my native Stale' for no crime
save Democratic opinions and free speech to you
in their defence, and about to go into exile, not
of my own will, but by the compulsion of an ar
bitrary and tyrannical power which I cannot re•
sist, allow me a parting word.
Because despotism and superior force SO Will
it, Igo within the Confederate lines. I Well
understand the purpose of this order. But in
vain the malice of enemies shall thus continue to
give color to the calumnies and misrepresenta—
tions of the past two years. They little compre
hend the true character of the man with whom
they have to do.
No order of banishment, executed by superior
force, can release me from my obligations or de
prive me of my rights as a citizen of Ohio and of
the United States. My allegiance to my own
State and Government I shall recognize, where
soever I may be, as binding in all things, just
the same as though 1 remained upon their soil.
Every sentiment and expression of attachment
to the Union and devotion to the Constitution—
to my nountry—whieh I have ever cherished or
uttered, shall abide unchanged and unretracted
till my return. Meantime, I will not doubt that
the people of Ohio, cowering not. a moment be
fore either the threats or the exercise of arbitra
ry power, will, in every trial, prove themselves
worthy to be called freemen.
C. L. VALLANDIGHAM.
VALLANDIGHADI IN EXILL—A dispatch from
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, dated May 25th, 1803,
says that the Ron. C. L. Yallandigham was re—
ceived there on an extra train from Nashville
between ten and eleven o'clock on Sunday night.
After some hours' conversation with General
Ammonite and mhos, he WI put an open
spring wagon and escorted by a squir ron of cav
alry to the outposts, and at nine A. Itt., Monday,
was delivered into the hands of the Rebel au—
thorities. A single private soldier received him,
to whom he made the following declaration :—"I
am a citizen of the State of Ohio and of the Uni—
ted States. lam here by force and against my
will. I therefore surrender myself, to you as a
prisoner of war."
Another account says that Mr. Vallandigham
was taken to Colonel Webb, of the Eighth Ala—
bama Regiment, who received him with a remark
that he had read his speeches but. did not like
him ; that he could not receive him within the
Confederate lines, but he would permit him to
remain at his post until he had ascertained the
pleasure of the authorities.
arir THE REPORT of the insanity of Mrs. Val
landigham, occasioned by the forcible arrest of
her husband at midnight, is said to be true. "Do
not go to them," she begged, in piteous accents,
"they will murder you." Ascertaining that they
had no legal warrant for his arrest, he refused
to accompany them. With repeated blows that
shook the hetite, one door wan broken in, then
another, and another, and the armed men rushed
in the chamber of Mr. Vallandigham and his de
voted wife. Her reason reeled in that awful
hour, and gave way to lunacy.

correspondence and foreign policy generally.

another good specimen of "Corporation Moonlight" last

low common sense inetead of the Almanac, and light the

MP' PROF. BECHER'S MUSICAL SOIREE, last
Saturday eveatue, at Auleabaclea Hall, wan well attended,
and one of the pleaeantest entertainments we have bad
for a long time. The various performances by hie pupils,
were highly creditable to both them and their teacher,
while the Overtures by oar old avorites, Shilling, Italie,
Wittich, Broody, and Becher himself, and the vocal and
Instrumental planes by the amateurs who co kindly volun
teered their owlet:moo, were well worth going miles to
hear. The daett, " Beautiful Venlce7' by Misses McCurdy
and Malttherger, was very sweetly eung; and the solo by
Mine McCurdy—"The Wanderer," by Schubert—was
rendered with the full effect of her pare soprano voice, and
with an expression and pathos that touched the tenderest
sensibilities of her hearers. We hope Prof. Becher may
be able to invite his friends and patrons to many repeti
tions of the truly agreeable musical treat of last Saturdat
night.
By the way, we notice that Mr. Auleubach hie had the
walla and ceiling of bie Hall handsomely frescoed, which
gives it a fine finish, and We to its attractiveness • n

Z NEWS FROM TRH 167111 REMMEXT.—A
letter from Capt. Miller, dated "In the Yield near Carrs
elite, May 15th," gives no the following particulars of a
recent skirmish with the rebels, in which the Berks County
Militia Regiment t 0,.!, part, and behaved very creditably:
"The 167th Regiment, with several others, ender the
command of Oen. Poster, were spot out from Sydinlk on
the Mb inst., for the purpone of t.ur.llg up 11:e ruttier the
Roanoke and Soation.il littiltoitti Roving drivsu the
en e my beyond Carrot ille, 18 miles from Suffolk, we halted
and commenced the work; not without much opposition
and constant fighting. Friday, the 15th, we had quite a
sharp engagement, and lost about a dozen men, mostly of
the 166th Penna. On Saturday, Co, E., of the 167th, con
stituted the advanced picket, and for an hour during the
morning it was exposed to the fire of about 11011 relied in
fantry. The men of Co. E. acted well on this occasion;
they delivered a calm, steady fire, and tired 1;0 rounds of
cartridges per man. After the action bad lasted three
quartersof en hour, oar artillery began to open, and in
fifteen minutes mere the 105th Penna. was mitt as a rein
forcement to Co. E. This regiment, having exhausted its
supply of antimunition, retired, and the 69th N, Y, ad
vanced. The action lamed about two houre, when the
rehote were driven into their entrenehmen M. Oar only
catautities were two of Co. R. woulded : Alexander John
son, to the head, not dangerous; and John Weelley, In the
side, not dangerous."
ftir NUMBERING THE HOUBES.—PetiNORS are
in circulation, asking Councils to pass an Ordinance for
numbering the house., after the plan now in use In Phila
delphia. The convenience and utility of designating the
residences and places of business of our citizens by a regu
lar series of numbers ; are so obVielle that I:l9thing ueesi
said to recommend it; and as it may be accomplished at a •
comparatively trifling cost, we trust that Councils will
lose no time In acting upon and acceding to the decks of
4he pelftioners.

sir IMPORTANT . The Miners'
Journal gives the following report of the trial of a cause
of considerable interest to parties in Reading, before the
Court of Common Pleas of Schuylkill county, at its late
term: •
Anthony F. Hiller no. Cornelius Timms and William
Kendrick ; Mester H. MulalenbErii,Begiamin noon, and

menc and for meow, the parties, except the first
two defendants, reside in Reading, and are joint owners of
neer SOO; acres of coal land in Branch Township, in this
Coos. y, snows as the "Miller & Cresson" tract, upon which
there is a colliery neer Llewellyn. plaintiff's interest com
prised the undivided one third.
In March, IS6I, the owners defendant executed a lease
for ode year with Tyson and Kendrick, the other defend
ants, to work the colliery. Miller refused to join In Ole
tepee, and alleged that by its terms, as also by previous
acts of his co tenants, he was ousted from his joint posses.
don of the premises. Hence this action, to recover his
one•third interest in the lands, and some $4,60.), his share
of the profits or the colliery, under Kendrick & Tyson's
operations, and their successors, Focht di Jones, to this
date.
The plaintiff contended that the lease Was not confined
to the two-thirds interest in the colliery property repro-
Nested by Muhlenberg, Tyson and ballade, but included
also bin one-third intermit ; thus comprising , the whale es
tate; and that the rents were made payable exclusively
to them—no portion being reserved for him ; thus exclud
ing him from any participation in the enjoyment of the
property, and constituting in law and in fact an ouster.
The defendants denied thin construction of the lease, and
replied that it was the plaintiff's own fault he was not in
the lease, as he had been invited to join with them bat had
refused; mid that up to that time he had Won &plias con
jouiutly with the other owners in the actual operation of
the colliery under the firm name of B. Tyson & Co., (which
the plaintiff in turn denied), an also in the general man
agement of the property. They admitted his interest as
claimed, and alleged that it remained undisturbed by the
terms of the lease ; and that therefore We aciion asalget
them meet be in Account /tender, a proceeding to which
effect (it seems) if now pending in Berke county between
the parties.
The Court, by Judge Ryon, Preket., charged the jury on
the gnestion of ouster, in substance, that to constitute an
ouster of the plaintiff from the premises there must have
been an actual diereeession to his entire exclusion from
. . .
the miinagemesn, or participatiou in the profits of the prop
erty, and the ignoring and denial of his right thereto; bat
that the bare possession by his co-tenants, and the collec
tion of even all the rents, did not make out such &Gass,
inasmuch as the possession of one co-tenant is in law the
possession of all—unless accompanied by circumstances
amounting to an adverse and unlawful intent.
Verdict fer tire dennadaatc
get- Nn w ToBACCO &rms.—Our young friend,
Mr. C. C. Maltzberger, has just opened a new Tobacco and
Seger Store at No. OS East Penn street, which for elegance
of daing-up, and beautiful arrangement, surpasses even
the many handsome Stores which now line the square in
which he is located. The large plate-glass window to
quite an ornament in its way, especially at night, when
it is brilliantly illuminated by a novel gas arrangement.
The interior of the Store is a perfect gem of taste and
beauty. The many elegant wares displayed, particularly
in the way of pipes, strongly tempt the uninitiated to learn
the use of Tobacco, for the sake of becoming owner to uten
sils so ornamental. When we add that Mr. lialtrberger
understands his business thoroughly, keeps none but the
beet articles in his line, and Is, withal, one of the moat
polite and agreeable gentlemen that ever stood behind a
counter; we think nothing more need be said to Insure him
his full share of custom. This le no puff—for we don't use
