At first, he says, the food of this earth did not suit him, he hav ing subsisted, before his fall entirely on tk-ciri cihj—the only food, known in Jupiter! Howev er, after having nearly perished from starvation, he discovered that whisky and gin so nearly re sembled electricity in their effects on his system, that ha has made shift to support nature by using a plentiful admixture of them, with fish, flesh and fowl, vegetables and tobacco; which latter article, he thinks, is sufficient tc render life, in this miserable, raw, cold, new world, tolerable, area pleasant. “The man has received a good English edu cation, as can bo discovered iu bis speech, quo tations, &c.

All her passengers and crew amounting, it is supposed, to 300 were lost. Tribune's dispatch from Washing ton, of Wednesday, says in reference to the Charleston Convention, “that it is ’-understood among recognized leaders here, if the Charles-! ton Convention nominates a Southern candi date that the Cincinnati Platform will he reaf firmed pure and simple, his geographical post- j tlon and sectional sympathy fbtnishing a guar-; anty for the rest. If a Northern man, then a ; plank to be inserted for the Bred Scott decision with the Southern interpretation that the Con stitution carries Slavery into Territories, and. entities it to protection by Congress/' ! Defensive. Some tiro or three weeks ago, the Potter Journal so far forgot its usual Uecency.and self rcipect as to make a bitter, unwise, and inex cusable personal attack upon tbe editor of the McKean Citizen , just because that gentleman happened to entertain an opinion at variance with that held by the editor of the Journal. — We had hoped that the Citizen would not notice this contemptible attack, but ns it has an article in reply, we may he permitted to say a word also by way of pointing a moral. The Journal charges the Citizen with “insult ing its readers” by the expression of certain well defined political opinions, and charges the editor with having “sold his editorial independ ence” for a clerkship at Harrisburg. These dictatorial, intolerant, and impudent assertions were made because the Citizen agrees with the Agitator in believing that Cameron is the only prominent Republican statesman who enu cer tainly carry Pennsylvania next Pali; and that the best way to make our State potential at Chi cago in June, is to send a united delegation in structed for the man, who, above all others, represents in bis public life and character lhc_ interests of Pennsylvania. Now, if the Jour nal does not coincide in these views, it certain ly has no right to asperse the motives of those who honestly entertain and express them. I A little less than a year ago, Mr. John S. ] Mann of Goudersport was a candidate for the j office of Surveyor General—an office which he U every way qualified to fill. The Agitator ] and tbe Citizen advocated his nomination at Harrisburg, and the editor of__the latter, who, was a delegate to the State Convention intro duced his name in that body and soon found that he (Mr. Maun,) could not be nominated. Vet the Potter Journal and the Agitator on the one hand, nor the Berks bounty and other papers in the interest of Gen. Koim, the nomi nee on tbe other hand, never once thought of making the charge that the editor of the Citi zen had sold himself to John S. Mann. Such a charge would have been ridiculous and con temptible, but not a whit more so than the charge under consideration. We believe that the integrity of the editor of the Citizen is just as unquestionable as that of the editor of the Journal; and while we believe that both are actuated in the expression of their opinions by tbe desire to advance the best interests of the party, wo think the Journal will find that its assumed office of censor over the opinions of its neighbors a very uncomfortable one. In reply to the charges in a late issue of the Journal against the Agitator we have only a word to say. It devotes a column and a half to the task of garbling, twisting and destroy ing what we said in a late leader on the election of delegates to the Motional Convention; and by inuendues and inferences and assertions and assumptions unwarranted and untrue, places us in a false position before its readers. Why did it not publish our entire article so that its readers might see how manfully we had b»en annihilated ? This was not in accordance with its purpose. It simply prints our propositions (which it falsely calls excuses, as if we bad written or done anything of which wc were either afraid or ashamed,) without giving its readers any of the arguments supporting our views. If this be the Journal's idea of fairness, it is not fit to dictate to others. But the Journal will see by reference to the proceedings that the State Convention of the 22d ult., adopted our views of the question of appointing delegates to the National Conven tion by a vote of 128 to 4, which certainly ought to satisfy anybody. The Convention also nom inated Gen. Cahebos as the choice of the Re publican party of this State for the Presidency by a round majority of fifty votes, without any "ballot stuffing.” The Convention also adopted a series of Resolutions which we can assure the Journal will be entirely satisfactory to the Re publicans of Potter and Tioga, although they may not suit the few impracticabics who con , trol the Journal. But enough on this point. A word more. Until the Journal shall be controlled by one man whose individuality shall be conspicuous in Us columns—until, it shall cease to ba tho escape-pipe of the extra steam from half a dozen political engines— until it becomes independent of cliques and local as piring politicians—unti 1 it shall learn that jour nalietio ability does not consist in unlimited personal abuse of those who differ with it—until it gains tho confidence and support of the read ing portion of the Republican party of Potter County—wo must decline being one of the journals oyer which it ha?

Proceedings of ttxo Convention. llirhjsucac. Fob. 22, 1860. The’Republican State Convention was called to order at noon. Francis Jordan and Johr( Hamilton were nominated for Chairman, and the result was decided in favor of Mr. Jordan by acclamation. The yeas and nays wore de manded, and the decision was sustained by ten majority. There was much confusion attend ant upon the election. Mr. Jordan made a speech on taking the Chair. A Committee on Contested Seats was apppointed. AFTERNOON’ SESSION The Convention was densely crowded, iho Hon. James Pollock was elected perma nent President, assisted by a number of Vice- Presidents and Secretaries." Mr. Pollock made a patriotic Union-loving speech. Mr. M. B. Lowrie offered a resolution declar ing that Mr. Cameron is the candidate of the People's Party of; Pennsylvania before the Chi cago Convention. Col. P. S. White of Philadelphia would have the delegates go to Chicago free and unfram meled. He would like to see Pennsylvanians son chosen, bnt “westward tbo star of empire takes its way,” and he preferred Mr. Bates of Missouri, or Mr. Dayton of New Jersey. Mr. Ncvin of Allegheny moved that tho res olution lie over. Cries of “No, no Mr. Nevin, continuing, said; We came hero to nominate n Governor, not to recommend any candidate for tbe Presidency. Let us nominate a Governor first, and then consider the resolu tion. Mr. David Mummaof Dauphin said that the friends of Mr. Cameron merely desired an ex pression of the feeling of tho people, and had no desire to stifle the doings of the Convention. [Applause.] Mr. Cameron was the choice of a largo majority of the Commonwealth. Mr. Darlington of Chester, Mr. Maxwell of Northampton, and Dr. Lawrence of Lawrence opposed the resolution. The Convention then adjourned til) 8 p. m. On tho reassembling of the Convention an attempt was made to keep all but the delegates, etc,, from the hall, but the crowd forced the door, and completely jammed tbe room. The discussion on the*resolution, declaring Mr. Cameron the choice of Pennsylvania before the Chicago Convention, was resumed. Gen. PurWauoo of Butler suggested taking up things of a national character before nom inating a candidate for Governor. He cited the fact that several other States had dune so as a precedent. He believed that there was not a single county in the State but what pre ferred Mr. Cameron, before all othors, for the Presidency. Ho then dwelt on the claims of Mr. Cameron for the office, and his political career for the last twenty years. Gon. Purviancc was frerpicntly applauded during his speech. Gen. Xoglcy of Pittsburgh said that he would have to vote against the resolution, although he paid a high compliment to Mr. Cameron, and said that Alleghany County bad good reason to be proud of him. Judge Hale of Centro favored Mr. Cameron, as a friend of the interests of Pennsylvania, Hr. Nevjns said that ho did nob make the motion to pt stponc the consideration of the res-dutioii out uf any hostile ftciiug to Mr. Cameron, hut wanted it postponed until after the ballot for Governor. Mr. Palmer of Schuylkill, and Mr. Younger of Lycoming, uniformly favored the resolution. Cries of ‘■Question,” ‘‘Question.” Mr. Momma denied the charge that Mr. Cam eron voted fur Mr. Bigler for Governor, and said that lie stood by the side of Mr. Cameron when he voted for Mr, Pullook. ■ , The question on the postponement of the res olution was not agreed to by yeas, 51; nays, The original resolution indorsing Mr. Cam eron as the choice of Pennsylvania before the Chicago Convention, was then agreed to by yeas, 89 ; nays, 39, Mr. Lowric offered a resolution that a Com mittee of one from each Congressional District ho appointed, to report a full list of Delegates nt Largo and h.y Districts to the Chicago Con vention, and that such delegates he instructed to vote as a unit for Mr. Cameron for tho Presi- dency. Mr. McClure offered as a substitute that the Convention elect eight Delegates at Largo, and that the several Districts select their own dele gates, with a recommendation to support Mr. Cameron. Pending the question, the Convention ad journed near midnight until the morning. Habri.suukg, Feb. 23, 1800. — The Conven tion this morning resumed tho debate on Mr. Lowrey’s resolution respecting the selection selection of delegates to Chicago. Mr. Lowrey discussed the substitute proposed hy Mr. McClure, and wanted to know why Gen. i Cameron was to receive different treatment from any other candidate before tho Chicago Con vention. It was something new to this State. Judge Hale offered a substitute, allowing the delegates from each Congressional District to select the Chicago delegates. This was ac cepted hy Mr. Lowrey. Messes. McClure, Franklin, Ponniman, Wag ner, and Souther of Elk, spoke against accept ing the resolution ns modified. - The resolution, as amended, was carried— -128 against 4. The Convention proceeded to nominate a candidate for Governor, when, on the third bal lot. A, G, Curtin was nominated. Before the result of the third ballot was an nounced, it was ascertained that Mr, Curtin lacked but a single vote; whereupon several changed their votes for him. The nomination was made unanimous, and Committees were appointed to wait on Messrs. Curtin nnd Cameron, and invite them to seats in the Convention. The Hon. David Taggart, one of’ the candi dates on invitation, made a happy speech, giv ing in his adhesion to the nominee. The following is tho resolution above named, as it was passed: Reeolced, That a Committee of seven bo appointed by the Cbair to prepare on address .amt resolutions sad also to report the names of eight ScoatoriaX Dele gates fo !jjo National Convention, nnd the unmet of two persons for Senatorial Electors,- and the Dele* gates from tho different Congressional Districts report Co the Convention tho names of four persons from each Congressional District who ghftll ho the representa tive* of the National Convention, apd epe fpom each District, ns Electors.

The delegates selected comprise tbo ablest men of the State, and they will go to Chicago with the full intention of se curing Mr. Cameron’s nomination. • A communication was receivbd from Mr. j Cameron thanking the Convention for the honor conferred upon him. [ The Committee on Resolutions (then submit ted tho following: Resolved, That the following gentlemen be the Delegates at large, viz: David Vfilroot, Henry D. Moore, Samuel A. Purviance, Andrew If. Reeder, Thaddcug Stevens, Titian j. Coffey, John 11. Ewing, Morrow B, Lowry. Resolved. That Governor James Pollock and the Hon. Thos. M. Howe, be tho Electors at large. Resolved, 'That tho present National Admin istration, by disregarding tho just claims of the industrial interests of the whole country, by fostering sectional excitements and antago nisms, by conniving at schemes of land pira cies, and by the rankest corruption diffused throughout all the Departments, has forfeited the confidence and respect of the people, has disgraced Republican institutions in the eyes of all observers, whether at home or abroad, and deserves a signal rebuke from the friends of constitutional order and of political justice. 1 Resolved, That corruption in tho Adminis tration of the General Government, combined with federal usurpation, both of the delegated rights of tbe States, and tho reserved rights of the people, have become so flagrant and auda cious as justly to excite tho most serious ap prehensions in the breasts of the intellectual and thoughtful of our citizens for the stability of free institutions, and especially for tbo main tenance of personal liberty and State sover eignty. i Resolved, That believing slavery to he an ol : ement of political weakness, and of social in ; felicity, we are unutterably opposed to its ex tension into free Territories. Resolved, That tbe dogma that tbe Constitu tion, of its own force, carries slavery into all or any of the Territories of the United Slates, is a new and dangerous political heresy, at va riance with the explicit provisions of the in j strument itself, with contemporaneous exposi tion, and with legislative and judioi-.il precedent, ! that it is revolutionary in its tendency, and j subversive of the peace and harmony of the people, j Resolved, That the African Slave Trade is a ; relic of barbarism, condemned alike by the civ | ilization, the humanity, the laws, and tbo rcli ■ gion of the age, and that the attempt to reopen | it is an effort of tho power* of darkness to bring , again the reign of “chaos and old right,” which patriots, philanthropists and Christians aro un der the most weighty and solemn obligations to oppose. J Resolved, That wo view with just apprehen sion and alarm, the reckless extravagance in expenditure which pervades every department of the Federal Government, and the steady and persistent departure from the principles and policy of the founders of our institutiopa ; that ‘ the restoration of a system of rigid economy ! and accountability is indispensable to restrain I the plunderers who feast upon the Treasury, I and to prevent our politics from degenerating , into a wild and shameful scramble lovthe spoilST" ! in which personal decency and public morality shall be overthrown. Resolved, That to maintain inviolate the rights of the .States, and especially the right of each State to order anti control its own domes j tic institutions according to its own judgment 1 exclusively, is essential to that balance of power j on which the perfection and endurance of our j political fabric depends, and wc denounce, now I as heretofore, the lawless invasion by armed j force of the soil of any State or Territory, no matter under what pretexts, as amongst the gravest of crimes. Resolved, That it does not enter into the scheme of thp Opposition party to seek the abolition of slavery in the States whore it now exists, but to leave the amelioration and ulti mate abandonment of the system to the moral, religious and economic forces which pertain to the slave-holding communities, assured of the final prevalence of justice throughout all the land, among all the inhabitants thereof. Resolved, That to the union of the States this nation owes its unprecedented increase in pop ! ulation, its surprising development of material resources, Us rapid augmentation of wealth, its happiness at home and its honor abroad, and that, consequently, wc hold in abhorrence all machinations for dissension, come from what ever source it may. Resolved, That the throat of disunion in case the Republicans and their aiSiiants shall elect the next President, repeatedly made in both Houses of Congress, by Democratic members, not simpfy without rebuke, but with uniform applause from their political associates, is a de nial of that vital principle of popular govern ment, free election, and a bold avowal and coun tenance of contemplated treason, which it is the imperative duty of the people to sternly con front and forever silence. | Resolved, That while we are now opposed, as we ever have been to the extension of sla very, we hail the people of the South os breth ren, in whose prosperity we rejoice, and whose constitutional rights and privileges wo are pre pared to sustain and defend. That in the spirit of good neighborhood, wherever the passions of different sections of out common country come in conflict, we stand on the ground of mutual forbearance, believing that a fraternity of feel ing is a chief element of our national strength. Resolved, That in the enactment of revenue laws by the Genera! Government, fair and ade quate protection should he systotoatically af forded to the industry of all classes of our citi zens. That wo maintain a devoted attachment to the policy of National exchanges, which se cures to the workingmen liberal wages, to farm ers and planters remunerating prices for their products, to mechanics and manufacturers for their skill, labor and enterprise, and to the na tion ccjmmereial prosperity and independence. Resolved, That we approve the policy of a donation by the General Government of a home stead to every actual settler upon the public domain, and we hereby request our Represen tatives to urge the passage of such a law with out delay. Resolved, That the purity and safety of the ballot-box must bo preserved, and that frauds upon the naturalization laws, continually re sorted to by our opponents, ought to be coun teracted by proper and wolesome legislation, Rrsolced, That the influx npon ns of foreign criminals is hi evil of serious magnitude, which demands tho interposition of a proper and effi cient legislative remedy. Resolved, That this Convention most cheer fully recommend to the people of Pennsylvania, Colonel Andrew G. Ccrtin, the nominee of this Convention, as a candidate for Governor, and mutually pledge themselves to his support; that on account of his long and proved devo tion to the protection of American Industry, involving tho dearestand most material welfare of the people of this Commonwealth, and his earnest fidelity to the interests of the white man, and opposition to the extension of slavery over our territories, and as a representative of the principle of reform, retrenchment, and in tegrity in the administration of government -affairs, lie was well qualified to receive tbe suffrages of tho people of this central conserva tive Commonwealth, which is unalterably and inalienably planted to the maintenance of the Union and the perpetuation of the Constitution of the United States in its entire integrity, and according to its examino interpretation,and the real sense of its terms and language. The resolutions were adopted by acclamation. Mr. Pollock, before adjourning the Conven tion, made a most eloquent speech. At 4i o’clock tbo Convention adjourned with three cheers and a tiger for Cameron and Curtin. FROM THE PEOPLE. For tbs Agitator. Tho Presidency——Gen. Cameron and Ed- fward Bates. In all divisions of American society, the ques tion of the next Presidency is becoming a lead ing topic of conversation ; and the old and the young are commenting freely on the necessities of the times, and the relative fitness of the va rious candidates named for this exalted and try ing position. To assume that all who arc named in either party for the Presidency are wholly worthy and fully competent, even in ordinary times, would reflect discredit on the office. Interest and par tiality have much toylo in bringing out candi dates for office in department of govern ment, ahd in none" more than in that of the chief Magistracy. It behooves therefore, the patriotic to counsel in favor of judicious dis crimination in malting selections. This is es pecially necessary in the present crisis of the country. At no time in its history has there been such a perverse determination on the part of southern demagogues, to exasperate local prejudices and fan them into sectional hostili ties, us at the present. John C. Calhoun’s teem ing brain sent into the body politic a rebellious spawn, that is now maturing its wanton ambi tion and despicable selfishness. To insist on extreme partisan doctrines, under such circum stances, will only tend to aggravate the evil. —- A firm adhesion to the political landmarks set up by the fathers of the republic can alone save it. This is seen everywhere, and hence it is that the conservative element of the country is so positive in urging upon the opposition as a candidate for the Presidency, a representative of the old school of politics, who is wisely mod erate in the midst of present clamorings. It is this which is) giving prominence to such men os Cameron-and Bates. Their antecedents, and their known unwavering firmness, is rapidly drawing the eyes of the nation on them. The advantage/of nominating them together cannot be doubted, and the only difficulty seems to be, which shall lead usi on the ticket. To discuss thispoint is my present.object in writing. V'That Xktnnsyirania will again be the “battle ground” in the next Presidential contest, no well-informed politician will deny. Indeed, it is apparent to all, and this it is that forces on. the pseudo Democracy the necessity of nomina ting Stephen A. Dougias. No southern man has any chance of success in the conservative element of Pennsylvania politics ; and this ele ment holds the balance of power in the old wheel horse of democracy. It is this same state of things in the Keystone state, which makes the nomination of William 11. Seward as the candidate of the opposition, impracticable, . great and meritorious as he certainly is. His extreme partiality for the foreign population of the country-naming from honest convictions has alienated from him the entire Native Amer ican vote, and makes him positively weak, where it needs as certainly that he should be strong. And by parity of reasoning, Gen. Cam eron is now the strongest candidate for nomina tion before the Republican party. He is deci dedly popular with ail divisions of the opposi tion! and no man in the state can boast so much personal strength besides. On tho other hand, Mr. Bates' "teat popular ity in the west and south la urged. While his strength is admitted, it is well to inquire how far it goes. Can he carry one State that was not with the opposition in the last Presidential election? To jadgn from recent elections, and we have no other standard to calculate from— not one can Mr. Bates take with him'with all his popularity, and allowing him a large in crease on the opposition rotes, and there is no prospect that 'he can carry either Missouri or Kentucky, and the decided indications are, not even Maryland or Delaware, The indexes we. must go by dearly establish this fact; and of what avail then is bis popularity in the south and west? If Mr. Bates can carry enough to make up for the loss of Pennsylvania, it is prop er to insist on giving him the first place on the Republican ticket, otherwise not. Then how ■‘stands Mr. Bates in Pennsylvania, as compared ! with Gen. Cameron? Why, that the former is I the strongest man named, except the latter.— Mr, B. can unite and concentrate on .himself the whole opposition vote of the Keystone State. But in addition to this, Gen. Cameron's person al popularity will carry with him thousands of votes that no other man connected with tho op position can, and which in any other contin gency, will go with the pseudo democracy.— These aro facts, and as such must have weight in determining the relative positions of Cam eron and Bates on the Republican ticket for the Presidency. Closely as this State will be con tested, no available means of securing a vote must be lost sight of. Nor is it to be presumed that Mr. Cameron can command his entire force so certainly in tho second, os in holding the first position. Jt Is bold out by seme, that in order to pro serve and unite the entire Republican vote of the country, it -will bo necessary to select * standard bearer from the extreme doctrinal wing of the party. To insist on this now is unwise, for the reason that we can not elect without a union of the entire opposition, and to persist in the nomination of an exclusive Re publican, will drive off the conservatives, and . be against the known wishes of the staunchest Republicans of the land. It ia n this some policy which is driving the South, with all its bitter aversion, into the support of Dong las.
