THE INVASION.
Our city, in common with the rest of the Stale.
was thrown into the most intense excitement on
Monday last, by the'announoement from Harris
burg, of an invasion of our border by a large
force of the Rebel Army, principally Cavalry who,
it was reported, bad already captured and burn
ad the towns of Waynesboro, •Greencastle and
Mercereburg, occupied Chambersburg in force,
and were rapidly advancing upon Harrisburg,
with nothing to arrest their march.
In view of these startling reports, which re
ceived credit from the fact that Harrisburg was
represented as completely panic-stricken, and
that hundreds of its citizens, with their families,
Were hurrying away in every train, leaving busi
ness and property unwed for—a Town Meet
ing was summoned on Monday night, at 11 p'-
cloak, by the ringing of the Court House bell, for
the purpose or raising men immediately for the
defence of the State.. A crowd soon assembled,
and the Mayor being present, was called on to
preside. Owing, however, to the lateness of the
hour, and the wild excitement that prevailed,
little or nothing was done. The excitement con
tinued on Tuesday, with increased fervor, and
at 3 o'clock, P. SI., by request of the Mayor, all
business was suspended, and the citizens assem
bled in general meeting at the Court House.
Col. Mathews, of the late 128th Regiment, was
present, and made a short address, calling upon
all who were willing to march to the scene of
danger, to assemble in Penn square and "fall
in" at once. By 6 o'clock, P. M., about 300
men had volunteered, and at 9 they left for Har
risburg. This number was increased to about
500, by the addition of several Companies that
followed in the trains on Wednesday and Wed
nesday night. Many of these moo, however,
have since returned home, being unwilling to
enlist in the ljulted States service for six
months, which was the only condition upon
which the authorities at Harrisburg would re
ceive them. Recruiting is therefore now going
on for the six mouths' aerate.
Later intelligence has shown that the first re
ports were greatly exaggerated, and in several
respects, entirely unfounded. None of our
towns have been deeiroyed, and the lerget rebel
force that has entered our State is said to be
about 1000 cavalry, that occupied Chambersburg
for a few days. There is no doubt, however,
that a ooneiderable portion of Lee's army is
upon our borders, with the design, if possible, of
making the rich and fertile agricultural regions
of Pennsylvania their Summer quarters, and
subsisting their half-famished race and horses
by.tbe pillage of our farm-houses, barns and
growing crops. This, even if no more hostile
intent was to be apprehended, should be enough
to excite alarm, and arouse the people of the
whole Mate to the Deem* of p'rom'pt /ulnas to
repel the advance of the invading enemy, and
protect our fields and granaries from being
plundered and laid waste, and our towns from
spoliation. The honor and safety of the State
require of every citizen his prompt assistance of
the State Authorities in their efforts to organize
a force sufficient to defend our soil, and lie hope
that Barks eonnty will not be wanting in her
duty at this alarming crisis of the present de
plorable rebellion and civil war.
THE NOMINATIONS.
The Democratic State Convention, which met
at Harrisburg on Wednesday last, has given to
the people of this Commonwealth two candidates
of whom they have every reason to feel proud.
In the choice of Hon. Gsoans W. WOODWARD for
Governor, and Hon. WALTSR H. Lawn's for
Judge of the Supreme Court, the Convention has
shown its regard for the highest considerations
of patriotism and public duty, and a proper
sense of the importance of the present crisis,
which demanded of its members such action as
would raise the party it represented far above
the paltry level of expediency and personal pre
ference, and place it upon the exalted platform
of principle, honor and truth/
The Convention transacted its business prompt.
ly. Its proceedings were not impeded or delay
ed by protracted discussions upon minor points
of difference, or factious disputes in regard to
important questions. The nomination for Gov
ernor, it is true, was not Made without a spirited
contest, in which the friends of the several prom
input candidates manifested, as was but natural,
a warm interest; but the prevalent feelings, du
ring the several balletinge, were those of friend
liness and generous rivalry which clearly evinced
a pre determination to be satisfied with and cor
dially concur in the choice of the majority, upon
whomsoever it might fall.
Barks nounty felt an extraordinary interest in
the Gubernatorial nomination, from the fact that
one of her own citizens was a prominent candi
date before the Convention, and with the most
asUoring prospects of success. -It would be an
affectation to say that his failure to receive the
nomination; particularly after his vote had stead
ily risen until it came within fire of the required
number, was not a disappointment to his many
mew* in and out of the Convention. But that
disappointment is coupled with no feelings of
dissatisfaction, in view of the excellent choice
that was made; and no man more readily or
cordially endorses the nomination of -rudge
Woonwattu than Mr. Caiwen himself. In hie
spool' to the Convention, after its work was
done. and in private conversation with friends,
he bow exhibited an unselfishness and a magna
nimity that do him honor and prove the fibular
hp of his attachment to the true interests of the
yeneoratie party. The handsome wets he re
ceived, was a rare compliment to one so com—
paratively young in public life, and be has rea—
son to view it with a gratification and pride that.
even the nomination itself could oet, have much
enhanced. With such a feeling in regard to the
action of the Convention, on the part of Mr.
CLYNICII and his friends, it will not be necessary
for us to assure the Democracy of the State that
Old Berke will heartily support the ticket 69
nominated, and give it one of the largest majori—
ties, if not Me largest, she has ever oast.
Judge WoonivanD is, we believe, a native of
Llizerne county, but has resided for several years
past in Philadelphia. lie is a gentleman of ir
reproachable private character, a learned law
yer, and in his political convictions, an unwaver
ing Democrat, of the Constitutional-Union
school. Ile was the Democratic caucus candidate
for United States Senator in 1895, but was de
feated in the Legislative Convention by the
treachery of several members who were elected
as Democrats. In 1852, he was elected a Judge
of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, which
office be still holds, and in which be has earned
the reputation of being one of the ablest jurists
that ever sat upon that Bench. Matate in years,
experienced in public affairs, firmly fixed in his
principles, positive in character, and with a mind
and disposition peculiarly fitted fur the efficient
exercise of administrative duties, he is admirably
qualified for the responsible position to which the
Democracy of the State have nominated him.
Judge Lowing is a Western man—at present a
resident of Pittsburgh. He was elected to the
Supreme Bench in 1850, and has discharged hie
judicial duties with:a firmness, an ability and an
impartiality which have won for him the highest
respect and confidence of the people. His unan
imous re-nomination by the State Convention was
a compliment and an honor that were well de
served.

" Gentlemen of the Convention: My heart over
flows with gratitude for this mark of your par
tiality_ To be selected to preside over the de
liberations of the chosen representatives of the
Democracy of the great State of Pennsylvania,
is truly an honor; and for it I feel grateful.
Fellow delegates: Never, never, since the organ
ization of our glorious old Commonwealth, have
the actions of any deliberative body been looked
for with more anxious solicitude than those of
this Convention. To select n standard bearer
for the Democracy at any time is an important
work; but now, when the whole civilized world
is looking to the success and prosperity of the
Democratic party to restore our oppressed and
bleeding country to its once peaceful and happy
state, it is truly a work of vast importance; and
I trust we shall engage in it as it becomes the
representatives of a great and worthy people;
for truly such are those that we are here to rep
resent. You are all aware that harmony, order
and dignity are essentially necessary, on the
part of a deliberative body, to give weight and
character to its proceedings. I trust and hope,
then, that we will discharge the important trust
confided to us with an eye single to the salvation
and prosperity of the Democratic party, which
is truly the cause of our country ; and that, ton,
with such harmony and unanimity of action that
will convince the whole people that we are de-
termined to save the country. Let our motto be,
"Principle " Let the old Star-Spangled Banner,
in all its ports and fullness, be our emblem, and
victory, glorious victory, will crown our labors.
I again thank you for your kindness."
Mr. F. W. Hughes offered the following reso
lution, which was adopted:
Resolved, That a Committee on Resolutions
shall be selected in the same manner as the Com
mittee on Permanent Organization, and that all
resolutions offered in this Convention pertaining
to platform shall be referred to the Committee
upon Resolutions, without debate, and that said
Committee shall have -power to select their
Chairman.
After a recess of ten minutes, the following

Eddy, John Conner; 2. John H. Brinton; 3.

142
The Convention again assembled at o'clock
Hon. F. W. Huonse, from the Committee on
BM/91134MM, said he had the holm W mini the
following resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted in committee :
That we approve the resolutions, upon the state
of the country, weed by the loose of Repre
sentatives of this Commonwealth on the lath
day of April last, and in addition thereto, and as
a further expresfion of our views upon public
affairs, do resolve as follows :
Resolved, That we again renew our vows of
fidelity to the Constitution of the United States,
the great charter for which our fathers struggled
and fought, and which was established, as they
themselves expressed it, "to form a more per
fect Union, establish justice, ensure domestic
tranquillity, provide for the common defense,
promote the general welfare, and secure the
blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity."
Resolved, That inasmuch as the Constitution
embodies the only guarantees we have for public
liberty and private right, as without it we can
have no hope tf protection from bloodshed,
spoliation and anarchy—the man who sneers at
" the Constitution as it is " proves himself to . he
defieient in the first element of patriotism: and
any officer of the State or Federal Goverament
who swears to support the Constitution, and af
terwards, with the oath on his conscience, wil—
fully violates it, is wholly unworthy of public
confidence.
Resolved, That among the rights which the
Constitution provides to every citizen, is that of
being secure in his life, liberty and property, so
that he cannot be deprived of either without due
process of lay, a fair trial by a competent judge
and a jury of his neighbors, with witnesses to
confront iim and counsel to defend him. This
is so just in itself; so necessary to the happiness
of the people for whom all government is made,
and so plainly written down in the Federal Con
stitution, and in all the State Constitutions, that
any person who can misunderstand it has not,
in our opinion, the mental capacity which fits
him for public station.
Resolved, That we have heard with intense
alarm and deep indignation that some of our
political opponents claim for the President of the
United States a power hitherto wholly unknown
in America and never exercised in Europe or
Asia, except by the most despotic monarchs,
namely: the power to arrest free citizens for the
expression of their honest opinions on public
affairs: end that the President has not only pre
sumed to exercise this power himself with the
moderation and mercy which his own nature
might prompt, but has delegated It to many sub
ordinates, and they again tot others in every part
of the country, until its hideous presence is seen
and felt all over the hut!.
Resolved. That among the numerous of f icers to
whom the President has given this terrible pow
er above the laws and above the people, there
must, in the nature of things, be a large propor
tion who are totally incapable of wielding it
either honestly or wisely—low politicians filled
with partisan rancor, knaves who do not care for
justice, and ruffians who delight in trampling it
under foot; and therefore we are not surprised
W learn that the worthiest men hare been torn
from their families, judges knocked down on the
bench, ministers of the Gospel imprisoned in
loathsome dungeons and respect able women treat
ed with a brutality which it would be indecent
131411 to name—and all this, in many oases, with. ,
out a pretense that the victims were guilty even
of a political offence, much less of any crime
spinet the laws.
Resolved, That free government cannot. exist
without a free press, and the Constitution of this
State, as well as that. of the United States, has
declared that it shell be free.—Those persons
therefore in office or out of office, who attempt
to suppress books and newspapers by violence,
are the enemies of this government, and ought
to be themselves suppressed.
Resolved, That we heartily thank the lion
hearted Democracy of Ohio for the manly vindi
cation they have given to the Constitution against
the great crime committed upon it in the arrest
and deportation of Clement L. Vallandigham;
and we assure them of our cordial sympathy in
the great struggle they are making for their un
doubted rights.
Resolved, That the plain duty of the Chief
Magistrate of this Commonwealth requires him
to use whatever power the law has placed in his
hands to pre set the State and the people from
lawless outrages, come from what quarter they
may, and no man is lit to he Governor' of this
Slate who will consent to hold his own liberties
and let the people hold theirs at the mere will of
the Federal Executive.
Rejoiced. That the Democracy of Pennsylva
nia has been over true to the cause of the Union.
It was in the name, and for the' sake of the
Union, that our party was made; that we de
nounce the least intimation that the Democratic
party entertains now, or ever has entertained, or
ever can entertain, the slightest sympathy with
the present gigantic rebellion, or with traitors
in arms against the government, or would ever
consent to peace upon any terms involving a dis
memberment of the Union, as utterly unjust. t
and in proof of this, we point with exultation
to the lavish contributions to the war in blood
and treasure heretofore and now being made by
the hundreds of thousands of Democratic citi
zens, who were among the first to fig to the res
cue of the Union and peril their lives in its
defence.
Resolved, That as the true friends of the Union,
end feeling a profound anxiety for its fate, we
claim, and will exercise, the right to consider,
discuss, ascertain and urge in becoming terms
upon the people and the constituted authorities,
whatever measures will, in our judgment, be
most likely to place and keep the whole nation
and Union together under one federal govern—
ment.
Resolved, That when this war began we bad
the solemn pledge of the federal administration
and of the party which placed it in power, as
expressed in the resolution passed by Congress
on July 22d, 1561, that it g g is not waged on their
part in any spirit of oppression or for any pur
pose of conquest or subjugation, or purpose of
overthrowing or interfering with the rights or
established institutions of those States; but to
defend and maintain the supremacy of the Con—
stitution and to preserve the Union, with all the
dignity, equality and rights of the several States
unimpaired ; and that as soon as these objects
are accomplished the war ought to cease." But
the federal adminietratiou, acting under the in—
fluence of aqmall faction of ultra Abolitionists,
always opposed to the Union. and without the
consent of the great mass of the people, has to•
tally changed its ground, avowing and proclaim
ing its purpose to be wholly different, and thus
it has greatly allayed our just hope of peace.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted by
the Convention amid enthusiastic shouts of ap—
plause. .
The Convention then proceeded to the nomina
tion of a candidate for Governor. Nine ballots
were taken, as follows:

Mr. Victor E. Piolett moved that WALTER H.
Lowain be made the nominee for Judge of the
Supreme Court, by acclamation, which was
agreed to amidst the wildest pplause.
Mr. Lumberton offered the following resolu—
tion:
Resolved, That it is the deaire and request of
this Convention that Hon. George W. Woodward
will continue to occupy hie seat on the bench
until Ms inauguration as Governor of Penus3l—
After some debate upon the propriety of leav
ing Judge WOODWASO to act in thii matter as
his own inclination shall prompt, the resolution
was adopted
A resolution was adoited, authorizing the
President to appoint a State Central Committee
of one from each Senatorial District, and to
name the Chairman of said Committee, subject
to the approval of the candidate for Governor.
The Convention then adjourned sine die.

vention. The meeting was also addressed by
CHARLES INGERSOLL. Esq., of Philadelphia, V.
E. Plotarrr, Esq., of Bradford county, and oth
ers. The following are brief sketches of the
speeches of Messrs. WITTE and CLYMiIt
M. WITTE:I3 BPRZCII
Mr. Witte said he was glad that the Convention
had•began a work whichlwould teach the powers
at Washington that there is a point beyond
which they must not go ; that there is a sover
eignty here in this btate, independent and sep-
arate, which, by the help of God, will be main
tained indestructible. The day is not far 'dis
tant when we shall no longer have a servile,
truckling Executive, content.to be the mere tool
of the President of the United States.
Referring to his failure to receive the nomina
tion, the speaker said that if, in aspiring to the
office of Governor, he had bad no higher motive
than his own ambition, he would have been un
worthy of the position. He thanked the friends
who had supported him, and also those who, in
the exercise of their undoubted right and their
views of duty, had supported others. He could
say that no one of his friends had been called
upon to make any explanation or apology with
regard to his fealty to the Democratic party.
That fealty nothing could shake. He referred
feelingly and indignantly to the attacks that
had been made upon him, but he had no word of
complaint to utter with regard to those who had
been his competitors for the nomination. He
yielded, he said, as gracefully as could be ex
pected from a man who had twice before been
called upon to yield. In regard to Judge Wood
ward, his character was so high that it would
scarcely be itt s t, t o praise him. sines that might
imply that commendation was necessary. With
him as Governor, there would be no kidnapping
under his nose. The rights of the citizen would
be protected at all hazards.
MR. kluminea armscu.
Mr. Clymer returned hie thanks for the sup
port which had been given to him. He had nev
er had any personal ambition in regard to the
nomination. He bad felt that in the midst of
this crisis be, personally, was nothing, wha t ,
principle was everything. The standard bearer
whom they had chosen had illustrated Demo.
cralic principles through a long lifetime, and in I
the future. with God's help, he would be a sarc
oma and protector to the people ut this Com
monwealth. [Applause.] My friends (said the
speaker) have claimed for me a precedence in
the tiff-manna of Eerks county ; hut I pledge
that county to give more votes for George W.
Woodward than she would for me. [Cheers.]
' If any man would be a friend of mine, he must,
be a friend of George W. Woodward. With him
in the Oubernatf.rial chair, whatever the emer
gency, we shall have a man with shoulders broad
enough, head stout enough, and brain big
enough to meet that emergency. If we had in
the Executive chair at this time a man true to
Pennsylvania and to her Pons who are now un
justly the discarded officers of the Federal Gov
ernment, there would now be 20 000 men here
to defend the State. If the present. Governor of
Pennsylvania were true to his duty, be would
have summoned in this emergency ()cargo B.
McClellan, who would again have defended the
State as he did at Antietam. [At this point earn
est cheers were given for McClellan and Frank
lin.] The speaker concluded by expressing hie
belief that the nominees of the Convention
would be triumphantly elected.

IItirDEATH OF Da. H. W. JOHNSON.—We deep•
ly regret to hear of the death of Dr. HENRY W. JOHNSON, of
Colebrookdale township, which occurred on Wednesday
morning lam, after a short bat severe illness, at bin resi
dence in the village of Boyerstown. Dr. Johnson bad an
extensive practice as a physician in the lower end of this
county, and was a gentleman ordecided ability In his pro.
tension, and universally esteemed in social life. He took a
promincni part in public affairs, and an a member of the
Democratic party, was frequently called upon to serve as
one of its representatives In our County and State Coerce
tions. He was about 43 years of age, and his death, in the
very , rime of a life that promised an active aud useful fa
ttlat, will be generally regretted.
DURELL'S BATTERY ORDERED TO ViORA—
BUM—A letter from one of the men of Capt. Dural's Bat
tery, dated at Louisville, Kentucky, on the 6th of June,
*aye that the Ninth Army Corp. wee then on the move
again, under orders to reinforce Gen. Grant at Vicksburg.
The Battery left their camp, at Stanford, on the evening
of the 4th. and marched to Dickman Bridge, and thence
to Lexington, where they took the care for Louisville. At
Lexington the men expected to be paid, but as their Cap
tain was temporarily absent, they missed it. At the time
the letter was written, the Battery wan expected every
moment to load up on a steamboat and be off for Vicke
berg.
Another letter, mailed at Cairo on the 9th, gives a de
scription of the trip down the Ohio river to a steamboat.
The men where all having a good time, and were enjoying
a good rest. The novelty of the voyage, and the fine coun
try along the route, absorbed much of their attention. It
was a doubtful question whether they were going to Gen.
Rosecrane, to Memphis, or to Oen. Grant, but the prevail
ing opinion appeared to be that the Battery wan bound to
Vicksburg.
r DOINGS op Courtnim—At the ir eeting of
City Councils, last Saturday, a number or appropriations
were made, for repairs of streets, &c. An Ordinance was
also passed, making an additional appropriation of $3,500
to the Department of Highways.
The subject of numbering the houses was referred to a
Committee of three, with instructions, if thought advisable,
to report an Ordinance requiring the same to be done.
A Committee of three was also appointed, to confer whh
the officers of the West Reading Railroad Company, regard
ing the conutrettion of crossings across Buttonwood and
Green sireets, with plenary power to enter into contracts
and arrange all matters pertaining to the same with said
Company.
