except New York.
Mr. Hatch, of New Orleans, oflered the
following resolutions :
Itesolved, That, tbe delegates to this Cop
mention having been appointed on the basis
of the majority platform, adopted at Charles
ton, we deem it unnecessary to take any
further action io relation to a platform at tbe

ltesolved, That when this Convention ad
lourn. itnriinnrn tn moot, nonin in Richmond,
on the 25th of June, unless the President
stall deem it necessary to call tbe Convention
together at a sooner day. .
Mr. Jones (Ua ) said it woulJ be highly
improper to take any action at this time nn
the platform. We expect, shonld we not be
able to harmonize at Unllimore,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, North Caro
lina, Delaware, Moryland and Virginia in the
Cenvention with nswben we reassomoiiK--and
it would be improper lor us to take any
final action now on the Platform.
The vote was then taken on the resolution,
ond was adopted unanimously, with tbe ex
ception of tbe vole of South Caroline.
Mr. Knelt (3. C.) announced that the dele
gates from tbat State were ready to proceed

On motion, the day of the re assembling

The Committe on Credentials reported
that the delegates were present from Arkan
sas, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, Mississipi,
South Carolina, Georgia, and second district
of Tennessee, and the seventh district of Vir
ginia. A letter from the New York Commission
ers was read, declaring that they are here as
promoters of peace and harmony. That they
nre also here to give tha. assurance that New
York would be true to the South, and true
to thn North, should a crisis arrive.
Col. Baldwin (Syracuse), said New York
enmo here to assist to throw oil on tbe troub
led waters to nrgo you to do so as yon
have dono to take no decisive action here,
ond to go to Baltimore. Tbe Commission
ers, ha said, agreed with this Convention in
deploring tbe nomination of an individual
whoso selection would be ns injurious to him
self as it would be destructive to the Democra
tic party, and dangerous to the Union. Mr.
Baldwin proceed at some length to deprecate
the dissolution of the Union, and to say
that ho was one of those who could not see
bow tho Uuion could be dissolved.
Mr. Dawson (Ja ) called tbo gontleman
to order.
Mr. Baldwin resnmed, and continued for
n few minutes in the samo strain, when
Mr. Barry (Miss.) rose and said that whilst
we of South have avoided all discussion of
these question, we cannot permit others to
open the discussion. We have allowed the
gentleman from New York to epeak by
courtesy, and be bas abused that courtesy.
Mr. Baldwin resnmed, and was speaking
Thcn a motion to adjourn was moved and
adopted unanimously.
Cries were mode for a speech from Yan
cey, but he declined, saying that he bad
much labor before him at Washington and
Baltimore, and would take occasion to ad
dress the citizens of Richmond on bis return.

Washington, Jnne 12, 1860.
Tbe Senate concurred in the House amend
ment to the Pacific Telegraph bill-
An amendment was adopted appropriating
$400,000 for the distribution of the Govern
ment arms among the militia of several
States.
A recess was then taken from 4 until 6

Evening Session. The Senate re assembled
at 6 o'clock
The amendmfnt appropriating $10,000 for
teeds and cuttings fur tbe J'utent Oflico, was
stricken out, but afterwards restored.
In the debate Mr. Ivorson (Ga.,) showed
that the Agricultural Bureau bad abused the
r.pproprutions made for these purposes, by
paving the funds out to mere sinecures, and
buying seeds in New York and Pennsylvonio,
and distributing them in other sections at an
immense expense to the Government, which
could be bought at any store, in any town io
the country.
Mr. Brown (Miss.,) denounced thi9 seed
contribution &3 a humbug, and doubted if the
Patent Office over sent any valuable seeds
tbronghout the country.
Mr. Milan (Mass.) ibtimated that tbe agri
cultural bureau was about to investigate tbe
ciiuu uiseuse.
Mr. Brain beped the nation wonld not turn

Mr. Mallory(Fla) said tho agricultural
reports were made out of material ulacarized
from books that ought to bo in tbe library of

The bill was considered until after 10

CS The Ladies' Strawberry Festival was
held last week. The weather was most unfa

loose somewhat in attraction in wet weather.
Yet the receipts were quite equal to their
expectations.

JT Wiiitk Spider. We examined, a few
days since, in a botlle, a beuutiful white
spider, taken by Mr. P. B. Masser from a
laurel blossom. A dotted line of a beautiful
pink color describes a circle on the back.
Wben taken, it had just fastened itself on a
straggling honey bee, to which it clung until
life was extinct, and then the spider leisurely
commenced feasting upon its victim.
C Strawberries. The strawberry sea
son is now in its prime Wo have in tbis
place a number of very fine varieties io onr
gardens. So far as our own experience goes
wo aro inclined to favor the Boston Burr-pine,
though we think Wilson's Albany and tbe
Hooker aro among the surest bearcr9. "We
havo bad in our garden, some of the first
named, which measured nearly four inches in
circumference.
KS" Tho Japanese are still in Philadelphia-
The rnmor that they would pass through
hero is not well founded, and it is doubtful
whether they will visit Niogara Fulls. The
reported death of the Tycoon of Japan, the
political head of the Jupanese Empire, is not
believed by them.
C Accident. A few days since, Samuel
Rucb, a son of Abraham Rucb, of Upper
Augusta township, aged about 15 years,
while retnrning from tbe field with a cultiva
tor on a sled, tbe horses ran away, dragging
him and throwing bim against the fence.
Tho flesh on bis legs was very much torn and
bis bead severely cut and bruised. Dr. E. II.
Awl dressed bis woncds.
Cf Tbe Monument to tbe memory of the
late Hon. Robert T. Conrad, was dedicated at
Laurel Dill, Philadelphia, was dedicated with
tbe usual ceremonies a few days since.
Speeches were made on the occasion by Judge
Kelly and D. Dougherty; of Philadelphia,
and David 1'aggart, Esq., of Northumber
land. C2" Tho Rev. Mr. Dickson was installod
on tho 30th ult., as pastor of the New School
Presbyterian Church, in Northumberland.
C3T Oca Stores. In nothing bas tbe
growing improvements of our town been made
more manifest than in our mercantile bouses.
l'he stores in this place are not only large and
capacious, but their business bas been greatly
augmented. We noticed somo weeks since
the Block of Messrs. Friling & Grant and
that of J. II. Engel. Tbis week we notice
the arrival of a hoavy stock by E. Y. Bright
& Son. Mr. Bright is well known as one of
tbe most energetic and enterprising merchants
in this section of country. 11 is largo stock
and extensive variety has, for some years
past, attracted customers from every section
of tbis and tbo neighboring counties. We
are pleased with tbis increasing evidence of
prosperity in our merchants, whose enterprise
and industry will not go unrewarded.
Tub Burning op thb Bio Mountain Coal
Brkaskr. The bearing of the case of John
Douty, Richard Douty, Matthias Kerohner
and others charged with conspiracy in burning
the Big Mountain Coal Breaker, was had be
fore Frederick Lazarus, Esq., on 1 uesdoy last
There was in attendance a large number of
witnesses from Sbamokin. Tbe case was
adjoarned from Esq. Lazarus' office to the
Court House. After a potiont investigation,
The defendants were all discharged excepting
Mr. M. Kersbner, who was bound over In tbe
sum or $2,000 to answer at the next Session.
For the Commonwealth J. B. Pecker and
W. M. Rockefeller, Esqrs. For the Defend
ants Henry Dunuel and Joshua W. Comley,
Esqrs.
John Douty, one of the defendants, is also
a coal operator, whose mines and breaker ad
join tbe breaker destroyed, which was occupied
by Joseph Bird. The character of the parties
and tbe belnousness of the offuuee, creatod
considerable excitemect amongst our Sbamo
kin neighbors.
2T Tbe proceedings of tbe Democratic
meeting at this place, ou Saturday last, will
be found in another coluin. Though not so
large as it might have been, tbe meeting was
still respectable in numbers. Major Dewart
was called to preside, who stated the object
of the meeting. The Major's remarks were
brief, but well expressod and to tbe point,
and, were creditable even to a member of
Congress. Tbe speeches of Gen. Clement,
Judge llelfenstine, Col. Cameron, 11. Donuel,
W. P. Withington aud Dr. Livermore, were
well received.
Judge llelfenstins reviewed Mr. Ilotten
siine's conrscat Charleston, with considerable
damage to bis Democracy. But friend Hot
tenstioe, who was not preseot, sent an epistle,
in which bo takes shelter behind a new posi
tion. H contends that every man, woman
and child, not present, is to be considered ai
approving bis course. Tbis is certainly ori
ginal, if oot Democratic.
Mr. liottentlioe is instructed to support
Jodge Dosglas. Ebould ba refuse, Major
Dowart is appointed to supersede bim.
Sl'NBUR Y A ERIK RAILROAD IMPKOVI
MB NTS.
We noticed the fact last week that this
company were making examinations for tbs
purpose of selecting site for an engios
bouse, machine sbop, to. After mature con
sideration Mr. Gay, tha Vice President of
the road, selected a position on Col. Cake's
farm, just above the boroogb line. Soma of
our citizens, with a view of securing the loca
tion in the borongb, got np a subscription,
and in ft few hours raised one thousand dol
lars for the purchase of tbe saw mill lot.
containing abont three acres, fronting on
Cranberry street, and offered to present the
same to the company, to be used for tbe
above purpose if deemed advisable. Mr. Gay
examined the location, and felt strongly in
clined to accept tbe generous offer, but re
gretted to say, after ft careful survey of tbe
ground, that although it might answer for
tbe present, yet in view of the future business
of tbe road, wben completed, the ground was
too limited and restricted by tbe basin and
railroad track. Mr. Gay stated that a safe
foot bridge would bo constructed over the
trestle work, for tho workmen and others to
pass to and from town, and that the distance
wonld be little, if any further from Market
stseet than the buildings of tbo Northern
Central road, below town.
The contractors commenced work on Wed
nesday, under Mr. Macklin, tho Superintend
ent, and Mr. Foster, as engineer, and expect
to have tbe turn-table so far completed that
it can be used on the 1st of July, wben the
Sunbury & Erie Company will resume pos
session of their road, and work it themselves.
Tbo Northern Central cats will be run throngb
to Lock Haven, but the conductors, engi
neers, with their engines, and tbe employees
gonerally, will stop here, the terminus of tbo
Northern Central road. Tbe Cattawissa
trains will be stopped at Milton, and will be
taken from that point by the engines' of tbe
Sunbury & Erie road, though we learn that
company intend to contest their right to run
under their lease.
THE GAZETTE A 3 D OIHSEL.VES.
We can assure our neighbor of the Gazette
that our temper is not, nor has it been, in
the least, ruffled. We did not undertuko to
lecture the editor of tbe Gazette, although wo
thought we had just grounds to complain of
him in misconstruing our language, instead
of meeting our arguments fairly and squarely.
In regard to our course on the question of
tbe Presidency, nothing we bavesaid or done
would justify the assumption that we intended
to raise the namo of Gen. Cameron to tho
bead of our columns, bad bo been nominated.
Tbe long personal friendship between the
General and ourselves, could not have in
duced ns to leave tbe party of our choice,
whatever our feelings and wishes might have
been towards bim, personally.
We profess to be a Democrat according to
the doctrines of the party, as laid down by
Jefferson and Madison, beforo such renogade
old federalists as Mr. Buchanan and Caleb
Cushing bad interpolated the heresies that
bave nearly ruined tbe party.
Those who know ns best, know that we
have always been too independent to bo an
office seeker, if we even had any such inclina
tion. Tbe emoluments, to ns at least, are
not sufficient inducements, and as for tbe
honors, we think tbey aro entirely too cheap
to allure ns from our position of indepen
dence. Onr neighbor says he would prefer Edward
Everett, on tbe Cincinnati platform, to any
other man. But would not this be reversing
tbe old fablo, by covering tho lion with the
ass's skin ? The cars might not stick out,
but the tail unquestionably would. We look
upon these platforms, composed as they
often are of crooked nnsonnd and rotton
planks, in most instances as pit fulls, through
wbicb politicians aro :onstant)y falling many
of them to riso no more.
These platforms, io both parties, are sim
ply compromises among office hunters for a
distribution of tbe spoils.
No, friend Jobot we bave no aspirations
for office, and much less to be an organ, or
in other words, the 6lave of a party. We
play our trumpet to Buil ourselves, and those
who do not like the music need not pay the
piper.
tjf Tub Jafakesk. Tbe Japanese ar
rived in Philadelphia on Saturday last, having
been in Baltimore on Friday, where tbey met
with ft warm reception from tbe Mayor and
citizens, including the military. Upon their
arrival at Philadelphia they were met by tbe
military under the command of Major Gene
ral Patterson, the Mayor and City Councils,
Governor Packer and tbe Slate officials, the
Judges of tbe Supreme Court and tbe other
Judges, Navy Officers, and an immense as
semblage of tbe citizens. After seating the
Japanese in carriages, with tbo Committee of
Arrangements, members of Councils and
other dignitaries, the procession moved up
Broad street to Waluut, out Walnut to
Nineteenth, np Nineteenth to Arch, down
Arch to Tbird, down Third to Cbesnut, and
up Cbesnut to tbe Continental Hotel, where
quarters bad beeu provided for tbe accommo
dation of the strangers. The scene along
the route is described as having been a most
brilliant one. Every available Epot was oc
cupied, and it is estimated that not less than
300,000 persons witnessed tbe procession.
Warm weather has set in at last.
Tuesday last introduced respectablo weather,
although a day or two previous a moderate
coal fire was not deemed uncomfortable.

A Duel, in Gkoruia. A duel was fought
ou Wednesday morning at Screven's Ferry,
Ga., by Dr. William R. Holmes, of Waynes
boro', and Mr. L. A. Neima, of Warrentoo.
Tbe weapons used were double-barrelled shot
guns and the distance forty paces. At tbe
tint fire Mr. Neims, received four shot from
the gun of bis antagouist, and was too much
frightened to continue the fight. One took
effect iu tbe tbigb, seconed io tbe bip,
tbird in tbe arm, and t fourth in the shoulder.
Fortunately, tbey are all fie6b wounds, and
all tbe balls made clean exit. Further
proceedings were then suspended. Dr.
Holmes received no injury. Tbe difficulty
grew out of tbe proceedings of portion of
tbe citizens of Burke county, Georgia), ia
banging in effigy tbe delegates to tbe CbarUt
ton Cooveotioo who did not secede with tbe
rtat of the Georgia delegation.
Hyln noticing tbe late lecture of Park
Benjamin in tbis place, we neglected to men
tion an entertainment of different character,
in which Sheriff Covert was, not tbe lecturer,
but the caterer. We can do no better than
to adopt tbe laognage of our neighbor of the
Gazette, who was also present, and who is as
able to appreciate the good things of this
sort as fully as if he bad been pupil of onr
friend, the late President of tbe State Agri
cultural Society :
"During the accomplished lecturer's stay
in Sunbury he stopped at the Washington
HonBe as tbe guest of Sheriff Covert. On
Tuesday the Sheriff got op one of those de
lightful dinners, in wbicb be cannot be sur
passed, and invited ft number of gentlemen
who bad taken an interest ia getting op the
lecture, to dine with Mr. Benjamin. Susque
hanna salmon, spring chickens, the delicacies
of the season from the Baltimore market,
strawberries, ice-cream, and champagne, were
noticeable adjuncts to tho entertainment.
Mr. Benjamin's gay remarks and humorous
sallies served as a sufficient condiment, and
rendered tbe occasion very spicy."
Samuel J. Kistler, Esq., of Carbon
county, has paid into the Treasury ef that
connty two hundred dollars of bis salary, in
accerdance with the pledge made previous to
bis election, that if the Legislature failed to
reduce the salary of members to $500, he
would pay tbo excess of his salary over that
amount into tbe county funds.
C3" Vanquished. Our old friend, Major
Frees, of tbe Germanlown 7'elegraph, for
several years past has been waging a war of
extermination ngoinst the Curculio, that
ruthless and unspaiing enemy of the plum
and other fruits. Tbe result of the battle is
summed up by the Major as follows :
"We shall only add, that our battle with
the common enemy was fought with singular
courage and obstinacy, and though not nearly
so sanguinary, it was of much longer duration
than that of any one or either Napoleon.
We came off vanquished 1"
CaT Pardon. Tho Danvillo American
says that an effort is making by some to
procure a pardon Tor Andrew McGinly, odw
under sentence of death, in the jail of Mon
tour county, but thinks the evidence of guilt
is bo clearly established, that tho safety of so
ciety and the security of human life demand
the execution of the law.

an amendment offered by Henry Uonnel, Ksq.,
Resolved. That at this crisis in the history of the Repub

abolition and of Southern aeccssiou threuteil to rend asun
der the Union, it behooves the Democratic Party to arouse
ilsell to a sense ot the impending danger anil ol uicir liigu
and sacred duty.
Kceolvco, That the late Charleston Convention in the

true principles of the Democrutic Party, and those mem
bers iroia tbe rlate of Pennsylvania who voted for aud
sustained that Plulfo(m in that Convention, desclve our
thanks and our highest commendnlion, while those who
deserted and attempted to sacrilice it to the unjust demands
ol tiouiheru Uisuniomsts, deserve our strong aud unquuU
tied reprobation.
Resolved, That the Hon. STEPHEN A DOUGLASS,
huving received the inujority of the votes of the Charleston

universally acknowledged persona! worth, and eupenor
abilities and long devotion to the great lunlf interests of
Pennsylvania, ensure us not only of his triumphant election,
but of a Stale administration, which will give still further
progress aud higher advance to the prosperity, and to the

and regret the action of Chahlba Hottemstimk, Ksq , del

doctrines adverse to the well established principlea of the
Democratic Puity as en nciatcd in the Cincinnati Platform,
in opposition to the convictions of the great lnaji rity of
the democratic parly of Northumberland couuly, ului hostile
to the best interests and tl.e piosperitv of the Union and
his action excites our surprise the more, as it stuuds in
opposition to that ot his distinguished co-delegate from
ekhu)lkill county, the Hon. F. Vv. llughra, who faithfully
and honorably supported the Cincinnati Platform through
out, and for those voles deserves our wannest commenda

Garibaldi bad established bit headquarters
at Palermo after fierce combat tod bom

On tbe moment of bit success the populace

Tbe reply of tbe Chinese government to tbe
English ultimatum, bad been published. It
rejects ell tbe proposition! ofiered by Kng-and-
y BcacTLfii.t. CotTf Mmtiwo. Tb !
following are the two principal resolution- .
passed at tbe Democratio mass meeting belJ !
at Pottsville, on the 4th Inst., in regard to
the Presidency and the course of Mr. Hughes,
at a delegate to the Charleston Convention.
Mr. Hottenstine, who with Mr. Heghei rep
resontt this district, is-not even named. Mr.
Hottenstine, it teeme, did not Tote wilb Mr.
Hughes, bot followed tbe lead of Senator
Bigler, even to the extent of supporting Mr.
Dayard't resolutions, which favor tbe re
opening of tbe foreign slave trade. He also
acted with Senator Bigler in favor of Be
ceeding with tbe Southern fire eaters from
tbe convention, and voted, we understand,
against the admission of reporters to note tbe
proceedings of the Pennsylvania delegation,
in caucus. Sorely no good Democrat need
be nshamod of having his actions published
to the world. Had Mr. Hottenstine simply
voted against Judge Douglas' nomination, as
Mr. Hogbes did, he might have been excusa
blo, but when he and a few other Northern
dough faces swallowed tbe nigger whole, wool
and all, even moderate Southern men revolted
at tbo spectacle :
Resolved, That the course of our distin
guished delegate, tbe Hon. F. W. Hughes,
to tbe National Democratic Convention at
Charleston, in voting for and sustaining the
principles of the party as enunciated in the
Cincinnati Platform, meets with our unquali
fied approbation. And we believe that all
his voles given in that Convention, were
prompted by a spirit of patriotism and pore
devotion to tbe union of these States and tbe
best interests of Pennsylvania.
Resolved, That the Hon. Stephen A. Dou
glas, by his long and constant public career,
and eminent services to the Democratic party,
is entitled to our highest admiration and re
spect, and we believe (without disparagement
to the claims of other eminent candidates)
that with him as the nominee of the Balti
more Convention, we would be more certain
to secure a triumph over tbe combined forces
of Black Republicanism, Abolitionists and
Disunionists, than with any other candidate.
To Kekp Flowers Fresh. It is said that
vases of (lowers will retain tboir beauty and
fragrance much longer if a little carbonate of
soda is dissolved in the water in which they
are placed. In tbis way flowers may be kept
fresh and sweet for a fortnight.

Mr. EniTon :
I wish to call your attention to a communi
cation which appeared in the "American" Inst
week, recommending me as a candidate for Pro
thonotory, subject to the decision of the Conven
tion of the People's Tarty. I am at a loss to know
what prompted "fchamokin," to send in Inis com
munication. Was it done in candor, or did some
one intend to play off a hoax, and thereby place
mo in an awkward position before some of my
friends 1 I will merely say, that if the writer
iuterded to hoax me thus, that I am able to take
care of myself. If his motives were pure he
should have consulted me. I therefore, emphati
cally, declare that I am no candidate fur the
aforesaid ofllcc. l)ut if my friends will nominate
and elect me to the office of Sheriff, I will most
cheerfully abide their decision, and accept the
office, and strive to discharge its duties faithfully.
Please, therefore, to strike out Protnonotary,
and insert (Sheriff.
Respectfully, Yours,
8. A. BEKUSTKES?ER.

Mr. Editor: It is time Northumberland
county should present the name of some
suitable person lor Mate fcenator. ibis
county has claims which the Democracy of
the district will not disregard, if a suitable
candidate is presented. Tbo importance of
being well and faithfully represented in the
State Senate is at all times desirable; it is
peculiarly so, when a United States Senator
is to bo elected. That is one of tbe most
honorable and important positions in the gift
of tbe people, and no man shonld bo placed
in it whose political creed is not such as haB
been adopted by tbe Democratio party who
cannot bo corrupted, and who is able to advo
cate such measures, as one calculated to
promote our country's best interests. Tbe
Hon. Oeorcb C. Welker, or Suubury, is fa
vorably known to tho Democracy or tbe dis
trict. I know of no one who wonld be a
more faithful representative ; no one whose
political record is more purely Democratic
Northumberland county it entitled to tbe
Senator, and wben a man so well qualified as
Judge Wri.ekr ia named, there should be no
serious objection made to bis nomination oy

Ma. .Editor:
I observed in the last -Gazette" a com
munication recommending Col. James Cameron,
for Congress. We, in this neighborhood, fully
concur in the opinion, that Mr. Cameron would
make a strong man, in this district, where he is
well known for bis practical knowledge, and the
deep interest be takes in tha development of our
agricultnral and mineral resources. Mr. Cameron
is an old resident of this county, and bis interests
are necessarily the same as our own, and if nomi
nated, bis election is rendered almost certain.

to speculating npon the costumes worn by
