Dr. NEVIN delivered a fervent and impres
sive prayer, in which he dwelt with much feel
ing on the distracted state of the country.

Convention had been assembled. He then
made a short and eloquent address 'He be
lieved that the Democrats were now firmly uni
ted. When danger threatened the country the
party flocked together as a band of brothers.

vade the proceedings of the Convention.

NON proposed that Hon. HENRY D FASTER
be declared, by acclamation, the liermanent
Chairman of the Convention.. Vila was re
eeivedwith wild shouts of applause.,
do " "
Gen. FOSTER returned his sincere thanks
for the honor conferred upon him to preside
over so large a Convention. He was but little
versedin parliamentary rules, but through the
indulgence of the members of the Convention,
he would discharge his duties in accordance
with what he Considered right. We had not
brought this trouble upon the country, but it
was for us to restore harmony and peace, to
unite our hearts and hands in such measures
as were essential for the crisis. Gen. FOSTER
was truly eloquent in alluding to the troubles
of the country and was rapturously applauded
throughout.
Mr. IRA C. MITCHELL proposed that Capt..
W. W. IL DAVIS, -of _Bucks, J.it HUNTER._
of Allegheny, and C. W. CARRIGh Poi

of the Convention. Agreed to.
Dr. ZULICH moved that a committee: of five
be appointed on credentials. Not agreed to.
Mr. CESSNA said, we are of one mind,
and all came here for one purpose, and hoped
that the Convention would organize without
confusion. He therefore moved that the tem
porary secretaries read the. list of delegates.—
Agreed to. .
Mr. CARRIGAN proceeded to read the list of
delegates. A scene of confusion here ensued
in regard to delegates whose names were not
on the printed list. Several gentlemen rushed
forward with names on slips of paper; which
were read, Some amusing, scenes occurred,
but everything passed off as pleasantly, and
certainly more orderly than could be expected
from such a large assemblage.
Mr. IRA C. MITCHELL moved that a com
mittee of seven be appointed on contested seats.
Agreed to.
Mr. CASSIDAY moved to except from the
operation of the rule the contested seats in the
Third District of Philadelphia, as he was satis
fied that they could be settled between them
selves. Agreed to.
Mr. CESSNA offered the following resolu
tion; which was adopted :
Resolved, That in order to effect a permanent
organization of this Convention, a Committee
of thirty-three shall be appointed to report to
the Convention for its approval Vice Presidents
and Secretaries; said committee to be selected
by the delegates resident within the limits of
each Senatorial Diitrict, who shall select a
member or members from their own number
equal in number to the number of Senators to
which such district shall be entitled, and re
port their several selections to the Convention.
The following resolution, offered by Mr.
CESSNA, gave rise to much discussion, but it
was finally adopted :
Resolved, That a committee of thirty-three be
appointed to report to thin Convention resolu
tions expressive of the views and opinions
thereof—that said committee shall be selected
by the delegates resident within the limits
of each Senatorial District., who shall select a

number of Senators to which such district shall
be entitled, and report their selections to the
Convention. Said committee so selected shall

appointed. Agreed to. He then moved that
John Farrell and James C. Whalley* be ap
pointed. Carried.
A mean woo made to take a recess for fifteen
minus es.

fore moved that the Convention adjourn. Not
agreed to.
Mr. KERR renewed the motion to adjourn
fur fifteen minntes. Carried.
The recess having expired, the committees
of two from each Senatorial District on or
ganization and resolutions were announced.
Mr. CESSNA moved to reconsider the vote
by which the Convention agreed to adjourn
until half-past seven o'clock, and to adjourn until
ten &oink to-morrow morning. After some
discussion the motion was withdrawn.

BOIF:
Judge SHANNON made an eloquent speech,
in which 'he counselled that we should listen to
the words of wisdom from the lips of the gray
haired fathers of the party.
Mr. STOKES obtained the floor, when. the
Committee of Thirty.three on Resolutions Were
allowed to retire to consult together.
Mr. JACOB ZIEGLER moved that all resolu
tions be handed over to the Committee on Reso
without reading. Adopted.
Mr. CRESSWELL moved that Hon. WM. H.
WITTE be invited to address the Convention.
Carried unanimously.
Mr. Witte was conducted to the stand amidst
much applause. Ho alluded to the peculiar
oircumtancea under which he entered the
Convention, and said that it was the first time
that he was ever in a Convention. He stated
that hp had a clear right to be on this floor,
and if he had not he would not be here. Phil
adelphia was one Senatorial District, divided
into• firer sub-divisions. He denounced the
-introduction' of -mere • teehnisal objections as
foreign to the stfiject.
Mr. WITTE said this was no time for the
gratification of mere political ambition. He
looked back reverently upon the time when
men were brought together. in assemblages,
which were not more important than the pre
sent to the people of Pennsylvania.
He dwelt upon the fact that Abolitionism was
introduced into this country by an Englishman,
Wilberforce. He traced the history of the Dem
°erotic party ineloquent and gloWing language.
My. WITTE in closing his remarks paid a
moat glowing tribute to the Union. He Said
that the Keystone of the Federal arch was dis
turbed in its setting, although for many years
the extension of the arch by the admission
of new States, had disturbed neither its
symmetry nor weakened its strength—now
it had ceased to perform its function—the ce
ment is crumbling, and the arch is broken.—
God grant that it may be renewed, and the stone
itself be more firmly set in the brotherhood and
fraternity of the people—in the equality of the
States—and in the permanency and integrity
of a re-constructed Federal'Union. May God
consecrate the work.
Mr. WITTE was frequently interrupted with
boisterous applause. . . _
Mr. FOSTER followed Mr.:WITTE. He was
received with three cheers. He said we owe
a duty to the party to - which we belong—thOt
party is the party of the country. The Re
publican party could not to-day administer the
affairs of the government on the principles
laid down in the Chicago platforms
Mr. FOSTER spoke at some length, in a
glowing strain of eloquence and lofty patriot
ism.
The Convention adjourned until 9 o'clock
to-morrow morning.

THE NATIONAL CRISIS.
A CAPITAL STORY
We take the following capital article from
the New York Express :
"NOBODY IS BUFF/MING." —Mr. Lincoln taker;
a very coleur de rose view of things. In his
Columbus (Ohio) speech he frankly acknow
ledges the tremendous responsibility devolving
upon him, at this trying crisis in the history
of our beloved country : but he derives great
consolation from the conviction that "Nobody
is Suffering." This is certainly a most extra
ordinary declaration for a man in Mr. Lincoln's
position to put forth. It is the talk of one who
would seem practically blind, or unwilling to
behold the events which are even now transpi
ring, as if in mockery of his speech, in almost
every section of the country. Nobody suffer
ing? Why, then, the now all-pervading pa
ralysis of the great industrial interests of the
country, which had its commencement in the
occurrences resulting from the election of a
sectional candidate to the Presidency, on the
avowed basis of an irrepressible couflict, in
November last? Why are shops closed, mills
stopped, manufautories shut up, and thousands
and thousands of working men anti working
women turned out of employment? Nobody
suffering? Why, then, at a period when the
country was never richer in all the elenteuts of
substantial wealth, thcse frequent bank suspen
sions, these almost daily failures in commercial
circles, and the universal lack of confidence
and credit, which is freezing up all the gteat
channels of a nation's trade, frightening capital
from its accustomed avenues, and driving many
to bankruptcy, to ruin? Nobody suffering !
Ask any of the hungry men woo throng the
streets of this mighty city, day and night, beg
ging for bread, having no longer the opportu
nity to earn it ; ask the myriads of poor working
girls, against whom the work shops of Nassau
street, William street and Maiden Lane are now
closed—ask them if nobody is suffering. Go
to the commissioners of public charities, and
see if "nobody is suffering"—suffering for fear
of the impending crisis—suffering under the
forebodings of civil war—suffering from the
shock of a, dissolution of the Union—suffering
from the utter prostration of public credit,
private enterprise, and commercial confidence
—which are some of the first fruits of a sec
tional controversy which men of extreme views
refuse to permit a settlement of, save and ex
cept by the bloody arbitrament of the sword.
• "UNION SAYERS."
For the last ten years, we and those who have
co-operated with us in resisting the tide of fa
naticism which at length has brought about the
dreaded result, viz., a disruption of the Union,
have been sneered at by the authors and pro
moters of this enormous wickedness, as " Union
Savers," " dough-faces," &c. But now, when
the mischief is accomplished, they who ridi
culed our apprehensions, and declared that
there was no danger,—that the South " could
not be kicked out of the Union," &c—have
themselves become "Union Savers," or "Union
men" as they call themselves, because they
wish to "whip" back the seceded States into
the Union,—•" aye, Whip them" back,—while
we, who knows that such a course would render
a reconstruction of the Union forever impossi
ble, and therefore oppose it, as well as because
it is in direct antagonism to the spirit of our
institutions, have suddenly become"

THE CONSPIRACY TO DETROY THE UNION
The Northern papers in the Republican inter
est have published lately a great many articles
to prove that during the last few years an ex
tended conspiracy to break up the Union has
been hatched by certain politicians in the
South. This may be true; but if so, it is not
half the truth. The great conspiracy to destroy
this Republic commenced nearly thirty years
ago. It was set on foot by the Garrisons. the
Tappans, the Phillipses, the Motto, and their
Abolition confederates in England and the
United States. This foul and black-hearted
plot culminated in the election of Lincoln. upon
the Chicago platform, which is based upon the
Garrisonian idea, artfully covered up so as to
deceive the masses of Northern voters. The
plot has succeeded, the Union has been broken
up, and now it is for the conservatives of the
Republican party, the men who have been invei
gled into the support of the black Republican
candidates, under false impressions as to the
ruinous tendency of their doctrines, to come
out at once from fellowship with Garrison,
Phillips, Sumner & Co., and help in the work
of saving the slave States which have not yet
seceded. Otherwise they will all be out in a
very short time, and the work of re-construction
will be postponed, if not rendered altogether
impossible.—.Y. Y. 'Jerald.
MYSTERIOUS MARRIAGE OF A BROTHER OP
GEORGE 111-A ROYAL PRINCESS IGNORANT
01 HER METH-TUB 91 , AIMS OF HIM HEIRS.
At a time when the American Bonaparte!,
are urging in the French courts their claims to
imperial reoognition, a case not wholly die
similar is occupying the attention of English
lawyers and gossips. The facts of the case,
as alleged by the parties seeking to establish
their claims to royal relationshiP, are these :
On the 4th of March, I767—there being then
no restriction on the matrimonial alliances of
members of the royal family—one Olive
Wil
mot, the daughter of an English clergyman
high in favor at the Court of George IL, was
parried by her father to the Duke of Cumber
land, brother of Bing George ILL, and the Otis
tificates of the marriage still exist, attested by
the signatures of the Earl of Chatham, the Earl
of Warwick and Sing George 111. It further
appears that on the third of April, 1772, there
was born of this marriage a daughter, who was
Baptized by the name of Olive, in the presence
of the Earl of Chatham and Lord Ashburton.
In the same year in which this infant first
appeared, her father, the Duke of Cumberland.
married again with Lady Annie Roden. This
action inceused the King very much; he re
fused to recognize this second wile, and wader
the excitement of the moment, enacted the
Royal Marriage act, which forbids a member
of the royal family from marrying a subject.—
lie, however, anxious to protect his brother
from the puni •hment his bigamy incurred, di
rected that the child should be re - baptized
unper the name of Wilmot, but at the same time
created her the Duchess of Lancaster, made
provision for an annual income for her, and had
the following document drawn up:
4, George R.—We declare the birth of Olive,
the infant of the puke of Cumberland by Olive
his Duchess, to be legitimate, who is condemned
to privacy by the act of bigamy oteraitt•ed by
her royal father.
“(Signed,) WARWICK, (Signed,) CHATHAM.
WILMOT, DUZIPITHG."
So the child grew up under the name of Wil
mot, residing principally with her grandfather,
Dr. Wilmot, at Barton-on-the-Heath. In 1792
she married a Mr. John Berms. Seventeen
years afteiq j ` arriage—that is, in 1815—
the late ; rwick revealed to her the
secret of he'' , and informed het of the will
of George 111., in which he gives and bequeaths
to 66 Olive, our brother of Cumberland's daugh
ter, the sum of £15,000, commanding our heir
and successor to pay the same privately to our
said neice for her use, as a recompense for the
misfortunes she may have known through her
father."
The Duke of Kent, Ofttisfied of the authenti
city of this and other documents, befriended
Mrs. Serres up to the day of his death, and on
his death-bed wrote:
" should I not recover, I recotnniend my dear
cousin Olive to my wife, who will, for my sake,
love and serve her until she recovers her royal
rights. I solemnly recommend, my daughter
to revere the Princess Olive of Cumberland for
my sake. EDWARD"
And again
If this paper meets my dear Alexandrine's
eye, my dear cousin Olive will present it, whom
my daughter will, for my sake, I hope, love
and serve, should I depart this life.
If EDWARD,"
Such are the alleged facts of the case. And
now Mrs. Lavinia Janettte Horton Byres, the
eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Serres, claims
the revenues of the Duchy of Lancaster,
amounting to £1,044,644 sterling, and also
£105,520 as bequests from the royal family.—
The petitioner Obtiins to be "Princess of Cum
berland and Duchess of Lancaster, as the grand..
daughter and lineal representative, in the female
line, of his late Royal Highness Henry Frede
rieli, Duke of Cumberland, who died inteetilte
in the year 1790."
This remarkable case is attracting the earnest
attention of the English press. It involves a
property question to the amount of five and a
half millions of dollars. The trial will'excite
interest both at home and on this continent.—
Like the Gaines and Bonaparte cases, it hinges
on a question of, legitimacy, which will require
all the skill of the highest legal acumen to de
cide. It has already attracted some attention,
for in 1822 Mrs. Serres demanded probate of
the will of George 111., but was refused, because
it was held that the Court had not jurisdiction
and could not grant probate of the will of an
English sovereign. In 1841 she sought to
bring it to an issue by claiming privilege front
arrest as a member of the royal family, but
again failed through legal technicalities. In
1846 she sled a bill in Chancery spinet the
Duke of Wellington, as executor of George W.,
who had succeeded to his father's personal es•
tate, but the matter was kept quiet by influen
tial politicians. But now the case is different,
and some, at least, of the English .papars,ola
mor for an honest invespgation of this long
siandieg wrong or bbld imposition. " tiers/ ,
says the London Star, ia • either it monstrous
or artful fraud to he punished, or a cruel:wrong -
to be atoned for ; and no personal influenee, no
matter from bow high a woofer it msdr
nate, must render the arm of English law
potent to chastise • impostare or to redrefislitt.i'
justice."
