SECOND DAY.
EVENINO SESSION.
Mr. Johnson, of Lancaster, then rose and
stated to the convention, that bribes had
been offered to delegates to obtain their
votes, and charged that conuption of the
grossest kind could be proved against certain
individuals whom he did not name. Upon
being pressed to do so, he referred to Mr.
Donahue, of Philadelphia county, to substan
tiate his statement, whereupon the delegate
alluded to appeared before the convention,
and threw down upon the table in fronfc of
the President, eighty dollars, saying, "there
the money is, 1 despise it." Another dele-
gate, Mr. Greene, also from Philadelphia
county, announced aloud that he had also re
ceived one hundred dollars from the same
source. These statements threw the conven
tion into the utmost confusion and excite
ment, and a motion to appoint a committee
to investigate the whole matter was adopted
without objection. The committee consists
of Messrs. Coyle, Plumer, Stokes, Frailey
and Bailey. The Convention then adjourned
until 8 o'clock to-morrow.
THIRD DAY.
AFTERNOON SESSION. t
The commute appointed last night to in
vestigate the bribery and corruption charges,
made report in writing, fully exonerating all
the candidates from any improper conduct or
interference with the delegates, but denounc
ing in the severest terms two persons, Messrs
Ranken and Ovenshine, of Philadelphia, who
it was proved, had attempted to corrupt dele
gates, by paying them money to influence
their votes. The report, after a warm de
bate, was adopted unanimously. The Con
vention then proceeded to vote for a candi

1st BALLOT.
SUNBURY AMERICAN ANT) SHAMOION
THE WILLI AiMSrORT CONVENTION
Has closed its session and presented to
the democracy an array of candidates which
will ensure their triumph. William T.
Morrison is a man whose sterling integrity
has always commanded respect, and whose
practical knowledge will make him an ef
ficient officer. He is comparatively un
known in the political world, and until he
became a member of the last legislature,
had never occupied a public station. Never
having mixed in the strilo of party, he can
have "no friends to reward or enemies to
punish." His life has been passed in use
ful labor, and he will bring into the service
of the Commonwealth the experience and
industry which his active business habits
have confirmed in him.
Air. Brawley, is well known as a demo
crat. He has occupied a seat in our legis
lative hall for a number of years, during
which he has been an attentive and useful
member. His acquaintance with all the
affairs of Slate, and thorough knowledge of
all the duties of the office for which he has
been nominated give him advantages which
few possess.
Mr. Banks, has long been in public life.
In the convention which formed the new
Constitution, he took an active and able
part. His speeches in that body display
learning and judgment. His private char
acter is without reproach, and his political
career has been one of usefulness. No man
could have been elected who is better quali
fied for that important station than Mr.
Banks.
As usual the Convention passed a long
series ol resolutions which are intended and
expected to be recognised as the principles
of the democratic party. Where Conven
tions called for the purpose of nominating
candidates derived the power to make a
platform for the party, we are not aware
It has been their custom for a lohg time ;
but we beg leave to question their authority
for such proceedings. As far as the purposes
for which they assemble are concerned, we
hold their action binding; for in this they
represent the wishes of the majority. But
they are not called together to settle the
principles of the party. Thev are not in
structed by their constituents that thus and
so is their opinion of measures. We know
that the representative from this county re.
ceived from the meeting by which he was
instructed, no expression of their will in re
gard to any great question before the pub
lic, 6ave for whom he should vote in Con
vention. What may have been done in
other places we do not know ; but unless
delegates are instructed for or against a
particular doctrine, they have no authority
to build up a platform and call upon those
whom they represent to mount it. Their
action in this respect has no binding force
upon the people. When they transcend
the duties imposed upon them and go be
yond the purposes for which they are called
together, they are no longer executing the
trust reposed in them. They then usurp a
right which belongs to the sovereign people
alone. Their resolutions are then a mere
expression of opmon and as such ought to
receive the consideration and respect due
the opinions of such an assembly, but no
thing more. Of the worth and weight of
this opinion each individual is entitled to
judge, and if his views do not correspond
with those expressed by the Convention,
he can not reasonably be asked to renounce
them. When absolute and blind acquies-
cence is demanded, it amounts to arrogant
dictation and deserves resistance. When
ever the people express their opinion, we
shall bow without a murmur to their deci
sion, but until then, with all respect to con
ventions past and to come, we shall rely
upon our own judgment for the course we
shall pursue.
SIMM KV AND H.inrtlSBlKG RAIL roao.
At the last session of the Legislature a
bill was passed incorpating a company to
make a rail road from Harrisburg to Sunbu
ty. The importance and necessity for a
railway communication between Philadel
phia and the junction of the North and
West Branches of the Susquehanna, has
long been felt and conceded. It has long
been a cherished object of enterprising in
dividuals along this route to construct this
road and now the first link is about to be
commenced. Next weekthe Mahonoy and
Wisconisco company will organize. They
will make a road fiom the mouth of the
Mahonoy creek, 11 miles South of this
place to the head of the Wisconisco canal,
and probably to the Central road at Clark's
ferry. This will leave but 11 milea to
makethe- connection complete. The route,
throughout its whole extent, lies along the
banks of the Susquehanna. The distance
from this place to Harrisburg is 53 miles,
and the fall only 140 feet, by actual survey ;
so that the grade will be of no account.
This road will tap the three extensive coal
basins of Shamokio, Mahonoy and Ly ken's
Valley, besides opening a market to the
great trade of the West Branch. There
sources of this valley are not generally
known. In addition to the rich agricul
tural products which are not surpassed by
any valley in the State, it abounds in mine
ral wealth. Rich veins of iron ore are
fouud in almost every hill, and vast beds of
bituminous coal lie almost worthless in the
mountains for want of a conveyance to
market Immense quantities of lumber are
tied up along her bank every season, its
progress arrested by the low water. Scarce
ly a season passes but millions of feet are
detained in our dam, by high winds or want
of water, which would speedily find their
way to Philadelphia and Baltimore on a
rail road. The lumber trade alone of that
region would afford ample tonage to a rail
road for years. Much of the country on
upper part of the West Branch is as yet
unimproved. Though the land is rich and
fertile, the distance from matket and the
want of facilities for transportation deter
the owners from improving it.
It is intended to extend this road up the
West Branch to Williamsport, where it
will intersect the railway from that place
fo Elmira.' The Intter road taps the great
New York and Erie rail road and draw upon
it a portion of the immense Lake trade
which is so anxiously sought for by Phila
delphia and Baltimore. When this con
nection is complete, as we have reason to
know it will he in a few years, this rail road
will be one of the most useful and profitable
improvements not only to the company, but
to the whole State. It is through a coun
try like the valley of the West Branch that
a railway ought to be made,. Here are vast
quantities of land unimproved, rich mineral
resources to be developed, ,and every mile
of road will open new sources of wealth.
The flourishing towns of Lewisburj;, Wil-
liamsport and Lock Haven, are but an
earnest of the prosperity which will fol
low this great work. When such places
can grow up in a section of country whose
commerce is dependent upon the difficult
and dangerous river navigation or the slow
and uncertain transportation of a canal,
what may we not look for when a railway
opens to it a swift, easy and certain com
munication with the ocean.
BRIBERY HUMBUG.
Those two great unbribed delegates from
Philadelphia county deserve the sympathy
of every charitable man. Just to think of
having the trifling value of $180 put upon
the votes of two delegates! The poor in
jured ones were, shocked, upon reflection,
at the small sum they were held at, and,
like Judas, threw down the money, pro
claiming to the convention and the world
at large that they considered themselves too
cheap at that price. A man of proper feel
ings would have spurned the ofler, not
have taken the bribe and afterwards re
pented. We much doubt if any bribe was offered
these men. The whole affiiir appears to
have been hatched up for effect. We do
not known who Mr. Green and Mr. Dona
hue are, and have never heard of them be
fore nor do we wish to hear of them
again, at least in a democratic convention.
PR. WEBSTER.
The Boston correspondent of the Even-
ing Bulletin says, that the conviction of
Webster's guilt is universal, and the opin-
ion that he will be executed is very gene
ral. One of the causes of the desire of the
people of Massachusetts to have him execu
ted is the strong efforts made in Philadel
phia and New York, to have him pardoned.
They wish to show that they can not be
forced into measures.
Q-F" q-IIR piIILAr)ELriiu Post Office.
A letter from the editor at Philadelphia, in

sertion, but will be found in our columns
this week. There must be something radi
cally wrong in the Philadelphia Post Office.
Unless a letter is sent to the office from 12
to 24 hours before the closing of the mail,
it will be laid over until , next day. This
has been the case for some years past and
the complaints are general.

have during the week seen some very taste
ful pictures, executed by Mr. Fetter, and a
visit from our country friends to his rooms,

but call the attention of our friends to an
early visit, and to procure a good, correct

at a very moderate price.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THE EDI.
tor, dated
Columbia House, ' )
Philadelphia, May 28, 1850. )
To day, the sun, for the first time, during
the last three weeks, has asserted, as well as
maintained, his supremacy in Chesnut street
and the fashionable promenades are thronged
again with well dressed and beautiful ladies,
for it is not to be denied, that the city of
brotherly love, stands pre eminent for the
beauty of her daughters, and the correct taBte
and skill with which they adorn their persons
Chesnut, has become so much of a business
street, that Arch street is about lo be adopted
for fashionable promenading. This must be
particularly gratifying to some of the mous
tachioed and high heeled gallants, who are,
sometimes, excessively annoyed by the vul
jar crowd, who intent on business, are no
respecters of persons, much less of dandies.
Arch street afford a beautiful promenade,
free from such objections. Spruce street has
been taken possession of, by gentlemen and
ladies of color, for the same purpose. With
out pretending to rival their fair sisters in
symmetry of proportion, they often excel
them in gaudiness of oolor, and the extent
of their satins, silks, and sole leather, w hile
the gentlemen, with their goatees, often
make as near an approach to the original
animal, as their fair rivals. . . ,
Philadelphia has lost much of its summer
travelling from the West and Southwest. The
completion of the Mad river rail road for I
connecting Cmciui'.atli with the Lakes has(
JOURNAL
diverted a vast deal of travelling in that di
rection. Much of this they expect to win
back on the completion of the - Pennsylvania
rail road. In my letter of last week I a)!u-.
ded to the numerous and extensive establish
ments for Engines, machinery and iron man
ufactures generally in Philadelphia. In some
of these establishments it is uncommon to
turn out engines and machinery for steamers,
costing from 830,000 to SI 00,000. Her ma
chanics, especially in this line, ennnbf be ex
celled, and as shn is great mart for tho iron
trade of Pennsylvania, sho has advantages
that will always enable her to maintain her
supremacy. Probably one of the most ex
tensive, as well as the . best regulated iron
establishments in this city is the foundry
of Wnrnock, Leybrandt & Co., on Noble street
wharf. The main building in front, is
four stories in hcipht, rind about one hundred
and twenty feet long. The casting mom,
we should jmlgo to be, over 100 feet square,
almost every foot of which appeared to bo
occupied by moulders, while almost a con
stant stream of the rod liquid lava was kept
running from tho cupalo. Tho enterprising
proprietors have, luft but little for others to
improve on. 1
Tho iron and coal of Great Britain, it is
conceded, has been the great source of her
vast wealth and power. Pennsylvnniahas all
these elements within her own borders in
extent and natural advantages, even greater
than Great Britain. Since the first and suc
cessful attempt oftha smelling of iron in this
country, with anthracite coal, at Pottsville
some six or eight years since, urder tho pet
suvering efforts of one of the most enterpris
ing men of the age, Burd Patterson, Esq., it
required no prophetic eye to read lhe futuie
destiny of this great State, provided she was
true to herself. Had the proper prelection
been afforded her a few years longer, she
would have defied the world. As it was,
her manufacturers were enabled, by a few
years' experience, and by various improve
ments, to reduce the price of making rail road
iron, thirty per cent, and pig iron in propor
tion. The duty on iron.undertheactof 1842;
was a specific one, of SSI per ton ; under the
act of 1R-1G an advalorem duty, estimated nt
about $6 per ton. Had this been a specific
and permanent duty, none would have com
plained. We heard an intelligent iron-master
a few days since, say that a specific duty of
even S5 per ton, on pig iron, would inspiie
new life and confidence into the business,
But this advalorem system, in regard to iron,
has been a sliding scale against lhe beat in
terests of the stale. How humiliating i it
then, to hear some of the Press, conducted by
meii from whom we have a right to expect
better things, assert that these engaged in
the iron business, were stopping their woiks
and ruining themselves for the purpose of
making political capital. Bo it remembered
that these iron masters are not nil whigs, nia
nv of them are democrats. That some of
the small fury of the Press, who never think
for themselves, should give currency to such
absurdities, is not rtiprising, but that such
papers as the Pennsylvania!! should set litem j
t c example, is almost incredible.
Columbia Uoisi (
Philadelphia, June 4ih, I.S50. )
The month of May, though never a busy
season amen? the merchants in this city, ex
cepting probably the retailers, is always look
ed upon as the most pleasant of the year.
The one just passed, however, has been ex
ceedingly dull and unpleasant. Hero, every
variety of amusement and entertainment that
tho mind of man can suggest, is resorted, to
'drivo dull tare away." The threaties are
in full blast,, but no longer, as in days of yore,
attract large anil respectable aiulienees. But
few of the better classes attend them. Bar.
nuin's which is probably an exception, or
under the name of a Museum, and is conduc
ted with much decorum. This "decline of
lhe dramu" argues well, I think, for the im
proving; morals of the citizens. To style
them M'hools of murals is, I think, burlesque
of the term. A greater school of vice has i
never been devised. Many families of tho J
"first respectability" still attend them, and j
wives and daughters gaze at and listen with j
the most sloic indiference. scenes and repre
sentations that would make a modest count ly
maiden blush to her eyebrows. But then
this is one of the acquired taste of civiliza
tion and city life. A few evenings since I
stepped into the Chesnut street theatre for a
few moments and was much amused in wit
nessing the representation of a new "Inter-
f . p. n.
lude, written by an old friend, Dr. I nomas
Dunn English, formerly editor of tho Juhn
Donkey, and, whose versabilily of genius
leads him into almost every biauch of litera -
ture. Another plr.ee of resort, at present, is
the Academy of Fine Arts, which contains a
largo collection of beautiful paintings and
statues. The rooms uf the American Art
Union, also, contain some rare specimens of
art. Among them are a number of paintings,
in still life, such as "Slrau beuics and
Ciearn," baskets of fruit, peaches, apples,
grapes, which are universally admired for
their truthfulness to nature. They were ex
outed by Mr. J. F. Francis, an artist not un
known in our community. Mr. II. II. Doty,
who is the proprietor of an Art Union on a
new plan, has, in his gallery, a number ot
beautiful specimens of art. His engraving of
-cpark.ii.ig uuaiiiiMgiic, is a ucuuu.m prim,
as was in 'Susannah and llie i.!iler ' ol last
year. One of the most dolighlful entertain
ments is the view of the "Panorama of tho
overland route to California." The long
trains of emigrant wagons, with teams of
oxeu tho crossing of rivers the ascent and
descent of Mountains sometimes by chains
broken down wagons burial ofin emi
grant by the way side camp sceue. Indian
warriors, &c, are faithfully represented and
most forcibly remind you of the toils and
hardships of the emigrant. The moon light

ENGLAND.
The eflect of tho withdrawal of tho French
Ambassador produces a sensible eflect on th
funds, but they soon rallied, and the belief
was general that tho movement on the part
of I'Vancc was ft mere ruse of the Ministers
to enable them to carry their new Electoral
Law.
Circulation had bet'ii given to the insulting
nolo from Russin, addressed to Lord Palmers
ton, condemning in strong terms, the policy
of the. English Government in regard to tho
Greek question. The concluding sentence of
the note is as follows:
"As lhe manner in whioh Lord Palmerston
understood the protection due to English
subjects in foreign countries, carries with it
such serious inconvenience, Russia and Aus
tria will not henceforth grant tho liberty of
residence to English subjects except on con
dition of their renouncing the protection of
their Government."
Under tho date of Paris, Thursday eve-I
nina, the London Morning Times, in allusion j
' -.ni.it .
to the. difficulty with England, says thai Lord i
Pulmerstim's offer of compromise has been!
rejected by tho French government, and al !
the Cabinet Conned the President of the lie
public declared that the acceptance of any j
other condition than tho pure and simple .
execution of the Convention of London was 1
not consistent with the dignity of France, j
and to none other would he consent. The I
Ministers unanimously approved of the con. '
ditions, and expressed their intentions to ad- j
