voice -of the Nation and is the true standard of

"That the present deplorable civil war has been
forced Aron the country by the disunionista of the

institutions of those StacFs, but to defend and maintain

Pwsuant to a resolution adopted by the Democratic
State Central Committee, the Convention of Delegates,
chosen by the Democrats throughout the State, will
assemble.
AT HARRISBURG
ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17th, 1863,
At 10 o'clock, a. m., to nominate candidates for Gover
nor and Judge of the Supreme Court, to be supported by
the friends of the CONSTITUTION and the 'ONION, at
the ensuing election.
The Convention will, also, give expression to the
sentiments of the Democrats of the State, who, while
their policy would have averted present disasters, will,
nevertheless, devote the historic patriotism of our great
party to mane the Constitution and the Union—the
one, from usurpation—the other, from final disruption.

THIS Telegraph says it a copy of the
secret armed organization circular which we
published yesterday, but did not thinkit worth
noticing. We have no doubt it had a copy—
we have no doubt it knows well enough who
got it up, and for what purpose; in fact we
feel eertsin that it was cognizant of the infa
mous transaction from its inception to its con
summation. It is now vexed because the trick
failed, and tries, as a matter of policy, to treat
it as of little importance. But the dodge won't
do. The scoundrels who contrived the scheme
must father it.
The very fact that the Telepaph received a
copy, is conclusive that it was an Abolition
affair—for if Democrats had been the concoc
tors of the scheme it is not likely they would
have been fools enough to let that paper into
the secret. It was a plot hatched by the trai
tors who support the administration—a base
and diabolical plot to entrap Democrats and
afford the President a pretext for proclaiming
martial law in Pennsylvania and subjecting us
to the despotic rule of the bayonet.
Democrats not Disnniontats.
We live to learn. Every day brings with it
its teachings, and if our lives could but be pro
longed .to three times the present average, it is
possible that, by and by, we might be win,—
Even Greeley, in has latter days, has taught us
something—added a little to our stock of
knowledge, and made us feel wiser and better
than we did yesterday. Our Democratic friends
will rejoice with us, when they learn from the
philosopher of the white slouch hat and gen
erally fantastio apparel, that they are not dis
unionists in a general sense, but only so in a
particular sense .and to a very limited degree.
Thanks to the man of the Tribune, who had the
sense to discern, and the candor to acknow
ledge so much. We shall sleep better, in con
sequence, for many nights-,and, after awhile,
when the philosopher and his Abolition co-la
borers shall have progressed so far in the cul
tivation of charity and liberality as to admit
that we may not, after all, be copperheads and
traitors, we shall be fully prepared to lie down
and give np the ghost in peace.
Ina communication in the Independent Gree
ley says :
" What Are the Democrats distmionisto ?
"No, they are not. Fernando Wood is not,
nor Vallandigham, nor Thomas H. Seymour,
nor any of that school. There are not a thou-
Brad disunionists, pure and simple, in all the
free North. But as some extreme Abolitionists
Were formerly hostile to the Union, because it
their view—the shield and bulwark of
slavery, so the great bulk of the Democrats of
the free States had some to look with repug
nance on the war for the Union, because they
realised that it was tending-to undermine and
overthrow slavery. They loved the Union after
their fashion, but had no idea of preserving it
otherwise than by their traditional and cher
ished policy of making any concession, submit
ting to MY exaction that slavery might insist
on."
Illinels—Demeenttle State name Conven-
uon.
A MIMS Convention of the Democracy of Illi
nois hss hew called for the 17th of this mouth.
It was probably the remarks of the Chicago
Times in reference to this Convention, its pur
pose, probable action and numberS, which
caused the suppression of that paper. The
Times says :
" It is called, with especial reference to the
alarming usurpations of power by ths.admin
istration at Washington, by whioh neither life,
Minty nor property is secure in the protec
tion of the law. It. is called as an immediate
consequence of the last and most scandalous
outrage upon constitutional rights in the pro
ceedtoge against Mr. Vellandigliank, which,
however, scarcely surpasses the outrage on the
peace and dignity of the 'State of Illinois in
the seizure and imprisonment, by military
force, of Judge Constable.
"The meeting mast be such an one as will
be estimated, not by thoueande, but by acres.
It will peaceably assemble,'—there need be no
fear that its peace will be interrupted—and it
will ' tetition the government for redress of griev
ances' with an emphasis that will not be mis
taken anywhere. It will aggregate the over
whelming popular sentiment, and its proceed
ings may, and probably will, mark a crisis in
the political history of the time."
General Franklin for Governor.
The New York World speaks in high terms
of General Franklin, and strongly urges hie
nomination for the Gubernatorial office of this
State by the 17th of June Convention. There
is some point in the reasons urged by the
World—but we had rather the journals of our
party outside the State would let us alone to
manage the nomination as we shall think best,
or at least not exhibit quite so much earnest
ness and enthusiasm as the World does in vol
unteering advice. Gen. Franklin's brilliant
military services entitle him to the respect of
his fellow-citizens, and his shameful treatment
by the administration will not lessen that re
spect; but his name has only very recently
been mentioned in connection with the Guber
natorial nomination, and the people must have
time to think. Other candidates, long in the
field, would be loth to withdraw, or at least
their friends would unwillingly withdraw
them, without being convinced that there was
a necessity for it, or that the cause would be
benefitted by it. The moment may come when
sacrifices of personal friendship and personal
ambition will be demanded for the good of the
cause ; then we shall c:ayect to see a ready ac
quiescence by candidates and their friends;
then, when we come to cast about among new
men for a leader most worthy to bear our
standard, if such an emergency should arise,
we, and we doubt not thousands of others,
would be happy to see the choice fall upon a
son of Pennsylvania as worthy as Gen. Frank
lin, if it did not fall upon him.
We have many good men, many excellent
men in the old Keystone, any one of whom, if
chosen, would do credit to the State—and we
have some, a few, who would reflect honor
upon even the exalted office of Governor. We
might name one or two of the first class, at
least, among the candidates sometime before
the public, if we were riot fearful of exciting
the jealousy, perhaps the wrath, of others who
entertain a better opinion of themselves than
we do of them. The misfortune of the times
is that worth is not always appreciated, and
that modest merit is forced into the back ground
to make room for bold assurance, that rushee
forward with confidence and clamor and carries
the day, though all its claims rest upon bluster
and pretence merely.
The danger is that these blustering fellows,
traveling candidates, who seek the ofGce of
Governor more for the sake of the advantages
it confers than for the purpose of honestly
serving the Commonwealth, may, through the
arta they are capable of practicing, deceive
the people and acquire a strength in the Con
vention which they do not deserve—thereby
rendering a nomination difficult, and making
it necessary to change the whole programme.
In such an event, and only in such it strikes
us, will any candidate but recently introduced
stand a fair chance of success in the Convention
soon to assemble.
In the happenir' eg of such a contingency it
will be well to have a reserve of good men to
fall back upon—and in that event we doubt
not the merits of Gen. Franklin would be fairly
considered in connection with those of others
who might be brought forward as deserving
public confidence and support.
Put This au4 That Together,
The Abolitionists avail themselves of every
agency to help their cause—religion,fanaticism,
superstition, are by turns employed—and, at
the White House, Washington, it is, we be
lieve, an° established fact that spiritualism is
invoked, a medium for that purpose being al
ways ready to appear at the call of the Presi
dent or his prominent friends or advisers.
We have clipped from exchanges two 'inci
dents, somewhat out of the natural order,
which we place in juxtaposition, not that we
believe either of them, but to show the shifts
resorted to to work upon human credulity and
delude the public mind. The first relates to
the mysterious punishment providentially in
flicted upon a pestilent Copperhead for failing
in respect to the administration, and the sec
ond to a like providential infliction upon
" Fighting Joe Hooker " for irreverence and
blasphemy upon the field of battle. They will
be found interesting, and we hope may prove
a warning to all incipient traitors and profane
*commanders :
STRUCK DUMB Tx um SIN.—We learn that a
man named William F. Campbell, formerly a
representative in the Legislature, from Wa
pello county, was making a Copperhead speech
at Bladensburg, in that county, on Saturday
last. When he had proceeded about half an
hour in his defamation of the government, and
those who ars upholding it, he was struck
speechless and fell to the floor. He lingered
in that condition until Monday morning, when
he breathed his last. We did not learn his
age; he was a spare built man, and not a fit
subject for apoplexy. Might not such an oc
currence be regarded as an interposition of
Divine Providence in favor of the best govern
ment on earth, and might not the Copperheads
consider it an "arbitry arrest ? "
(Iowa) Ledger.
HOOKER PUNISHED.—It is a strange story if
true. Hooker really teemed to have the ad
vantage in this late battle. I have them,"
said he, " nothing can prevent it—God Al
m;ghty himself could not atop it now." As he
was standing, a shell struck a post near him,
and he lay stunned for several hours, theti re
vived, bat not perfectly, had another turn of
insensibility, and seemed to expose himself
and try to be killed. .Finally he ordered the
recrossing of the river, greatly to the surprise
of moat of his generals. eprindield Repub
lican.
There are many who doubt this story, and
more charitably believe that "old Rye " and
not blasphemy, had most to do with his insen
aibility.—Ezehange.
" Where will the Northern traitors, (mean
ing the Democrats,) go to ?" inquires an Abe
-1 tiOtt paper. Where will they go tot Why,
to Heaven, we hope; where neither the hypo
critical layman who propounds the question
nor the canting priests whom he bespatters
with his fulsome praise, will probably ever
eater.

Letter from Hon. Chas. It. Iluettaiew.
In answer to an invitation to attend the
*Democratic must meeting held in. Philadelphia
on Monday night last, Mr. Buckalew wrote the
following brief but expressive letter*:
BLOOMMTRO, June 1, 1863.
Dear Sir: Your letter inviting me to attend
your meeting of this evening, called with refer
ence to the arrest, military trial and exile of
Mr. Vallandigham, was delayed in reaching
me. I have only time, before the closing of
the mail, to write a few lines in reply.
approve, most heartily, the object of your
meeting, and hope it may be successful and
exert a wide influence upon public opinion.
Now that public events present to the people
the question of liberty as well as of Union,
there ought to be no doubts and no hesitation
among them as to the course to be pursued.
They must uphold liberty and put down its
foes, and that, too, without regard to the poor,
pitiful pretexts by which the latter seek to
defeat or excuse their usurpations.
I am, respectfully, yours,
C. R. BucitaLsw.

NEWS OF THE DAY.
BY• TELEGRAPH.
FOREIGN—HOOKER'S CAMPAIGN A FAILURE—THE
PRIVATEER ALABAMA.
NEW YORK, June B.—The royal mail steam
ship Persia arrived at this port at 8 o'clock
this morning, from Liverpool on the 28d ult.
The news of the retreat of Gen. Hooker's army
across the Rappahannock is much commented
upon. • The earepaign is generally regarded as
a miserable failure.
The cargoes of the ships Nora, Charles Hill
and Louisa Hatch, which were destroyed by
the Alabama, were Wish property. Loud
calls are being made on the British government
to interfere and prevent these depredations.
FROM NEW ORLEANS — PRISONERS — FIGHT NEAR
PORT HUDSON.
The steamer George Cromwell arrived from
New Orleans at three o'clock this morning.—
Seventy-five prisoners arrived at New Orleans
on the 26th from Baton Rouge, among whom
was ex-Gov. Wickliffe, of Kentucky, who was
captured near Port Hudson.
The fight on the Bayou Sara road and near
Port 'lndeed, on the 21st, was hotly contested,
but the rebels were badly whipped at every
point. A bayonet charge of the 116th New
York was the final affair of the day. The 116th
lost 13 killed and 44 wounded ; the 2d Louisi
and 3 killed and 11 wounded; the 4th Massa
ehusetts 2 killed and 8 wounded, and the 30th
'Massachusetts 6 wounded.
BANKS-•••FARRAGUT—PORT HUDSON.
The New Orleans Era, of the 27th, contains
the following : Gen. Banks moved down the
Red river with his army, crossed to Bayou
Sara and thence to Port Hudson, where he
united his forces winli those of General Augur.
The gunboats under Farragut were to move
upon the 24th. The mortar fleet opened upon
Port Hudson on the night of the 24th, silencing
several of the enemy's guns. Port Hudson is
now, therefore, closely besieged and hemmed
in, and the fall of this stronghold will be
speedy, even should Gen. Banks not order an
assault on the works. Colonel Grierson is co
operating with General Banks. The garrison
at Port Hudson is estimated at 10,000 men—
they are scantily supplied with provisions.
The New Orleans Era, of the 28th says:—
We learn from an authentic source that our
army before Port Hudson is in a satisfactory
position, and everything promises fair for an
important and successful close of the campaign
against the rebel stronghold.
OFFICIAL REPORT FROM ADMIRAL PORTER.
WASHINGTON, June 3.—Secretary Welles has
received the following:
VLAO SHIP BLACK RANK.
NEAR VICES/MEG, May 27, 1803. 5 t
Sin: Amidst our successes I regret to report
any reverses ; but we cannot expect to con
quer a place like this without some loss. At
the urgent request of Generals Grant and
Sherman I sent the Cincinnati to enfilade some
rifle pits which barred the progress of the left
wing of the army. Gen. Sherman supposed
that the enemy had removed his heavy guns to
the rear of the city. On the contrary be
seemed to have placed more on the water side
than usual. The Cincinnati was sunk, and
went down in shoal water with her flag flying—
the enemy still fired, but the flag was not
hauled down. Twenty-five were killed and
wounded and fifteen missing—the latter are
supposed to have been drowned. The vessel
can be raised. The pilot was killed early in
the action. Davin D. PORTER,
Acting Rear Admiral Commanding the Missis
sippi Squadron.
NOTHING LATE FROM V/CK$BUto,
WASHINGTON, June 3.—No adtiees have
been received from the army at Vicksburg up
to noon to-day.
Gm BURNSIDE AND DEMOCRATIC PAPERS.
CINCINNATI, June 2.—General Order No. 84,
which has just been issued by Oen. Burnside,
prohibits the circulation of the New York
World in this department, and suppresies the
Chicago Times. Brig. Gen. Ammon, comman
ding in Illinois, is charged with the execution
of the latter part of the order.
CHICAGO, June 2.—The proprietors of the
Timed were notified to night by Capt. Putnam,
commanding Camp Douglas, that if they at
tempted to issue their paper for to-morrow
,morning, he would, in accordance with a tele
graphic order from Gen. Atmnen, take military
possession of the office. Judge Drummond, of
the 11. 8. Court, was immediately applied to
for a writ enjoining Capt. Putnam, from any
interference whatever with the Times office.—
Up to this hour (midnight) the Judge has not
given a deoielen. It is thought probable, how
ever, 'that be will grant the writ. A feeling of
resistance to thn Inilltary, should they attempt
to carry ce.it A.:7/ to Ws order, is observa
ble,
TIER TIDIES-JUDGE DRUMMOND--.-THE MILITARY.
Cuicaao, June 3.—Shortly after 12 o'clock
last night Judge Drummond issued a writ, di
recting the military authorities to take no fur
ther steps to carry into effect the order of Gen.
Burnside for the suppression of the Chicago
Times, until the application for a permanent
writ of injunction could be heard in open court
to day. At 3i o'clock this morning, after
nearly the whole edition of the Times bad been
worked off, a file of soldiers broke into the
office and took possession of the establishment,
remaining for some time. They then left, af
ter giving notice that if any attempt was made
to publish another paper, the military would
take permanent possession of the office.
The following handbill is being circulated
throughout the city :
"All good and loyal citizens of Chioago who
favor free speech and freedom of the press as
guaranteed to us by the Constitution we love
and uphold, are invited to assemble in mass
meeting in front of the Chicago Times office, on
Wednesday evening, June 3d, at eight o'clock,
to take counsel together in regard to the recent
infamous and tyrannical order of General Am
brose E. Burnside in suppressing newspapers
always Democratic and consequently always
loyal."
AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
Camino, June B.—The American Medical
Association held their annual meeting here
yesterday. The following officers were elected :
President, A. Maich, of New York; Vice Pre
sidents, J. Cooper, of Delaware ; D. Prince, o
Illinois ; C. G. Cose, of Maryland, and E. S.
Cann, of Wisconsin.
PEACE CONVENTION..
New Yens., June 3.—The Peace Convention
was' held this afternoon in the Cooper
Institute. The prinoipal speaker was Fer
nando Wood. The resolutions adopted declare
fealty to the Constitution and to the sover
eignty of the States and of the people ; that
under the Constitution there is no power to
Coerce the States, or any of them, by military
force ; that the war is contrary to the Constitu
tion. and should be put an end to ; that attempts
to do away with the provisions of the Costitu
tion, which points out how crimes are to be pun
ished, are high-handed violations of the sworn
duties of our rulers; that the claim of dictato
rial and unlimited military power, and trial of
citizens by courts martial, are monstrous and
execrable; that the dogma of unlimited sub
mission to the executive branch of the govern
ment is unworthy of American citizens; that
we protest against the cowardly,, despotic and
inhuman act of banishment of Vallandighato,
and that we recommend a suspension of hoe,
tilities, and the holding of a oonventtoil to
settle the matter of arriving at terms of recoil.
ciliation between the oontending sections.
A State Committee, with power to call fu
ture conventions of the Peace Democracy, was
appointed.
IHOM HAVANA AND MEXICO.
NEW Vona., Juno B.—The steamer Eagle
from Havana on the 30th, arrived here to-day.
The Mexican news about the capture of Puebla
has not yet been confirmed, and there are
strong doubts thrown upon it by the Mexican
partisans in Havana. The reported dates are
said to render the news improbable.
Gen. Rubaloaby, late General of Marines,
is a passenger in the Eagle, enroute for Spain.
The steamer Hero sailed on the 29th, to run
the blockade. The sloop of war Juniata
sailed on the same day, and it is rumored that
she captured the Hero and took her to Key
West.
There has been no arrivals from Southern
ports since the steamer * Shelldrake sailed.
BY THE MAILS.
THE WAR IN ALABAMA.
CINCINNATI,
June 2:—Col. Cornyn defeated
Gen. Roddy at Florence, Ala., on the 27th ult.,
capturing 100 men and 8 officers, 400 mules,
300 negroes. He then marched northward
and destroyed the foundries and mills, and
everything useful to the enemy.
GOV. TOD'S CASE.
CINCINNATI, June 2.—Gov. Tod appeared
before the Fairfield court of commons pleas,
yesterday, in obedience to his recognizance, on
the suit of Dr. Olds, and through his attorney
filed a motion that as chief executive Officer
of the State he was not liable to arrest, and
until he vacated the office, either by the expi
ration of his term or by impeachment, he could
not be punished ; that the case should be re
moved to the federal courts, under the provis
ions of the act of Congress of last session.—
The Governor's case was continued by consent,
after he had entered into a new recognizance
to appear at the next term of the court.
PROM VICKSBURG.
WASHINGTON, June 2.—Official dispatches to
May 29 have been received at the headquar
ters of the army of General Grant. There was
no change in the situation. The siege of Vicks
burg was progressing favorably, and a success
ful result was confidently anticipated.
REBEL ACCOUNTS.
FORTRESS MONROE, June I.—The Richmond
Dispatch, of May 30, has the following :
A private dispatch receives in Richmond
yesterday, from Canton, Mississippi, dated the
26th, says all is well. Vicksburg holds out
bravely. •
The Dispatch, in an editorial, says
The fate of Vicksburg is still suspending in
the balance. Our own telegraphs have been
encouraging, but they lack the distinctness
essential in such cases to bring entire relief to
the public mind. The Yankee bulletins in the
interim are unpleasantly detailed and speci
fic. The suspense cannot long continue. The
resistance has been, from all accounts, deter
mined, and let us continue to hope and believe
that it will be successful.
CAVALRY RAID.
The New Orleans Era, of the 24th, contains
the following :
The First Texas cavalry, Col. Davis, made
a raid on the Jackson railroad and from Tick
few Station to camp Wore, and destroyed
every bridge on the road, including a large
bridge over the Tangipahoa river. Also all
the railroad stations, the car factory near In
dependence, and a shoe factory, tannery, saw
and grist mills near Tiekfaw. He also cap
tured a rebel lieutenant and 43 men, besides
killing a rebel captain, ten men, and capturing
twenty horses, etc., in a skirmish. The dam
age to the rebels is immense.
CIVILIANS WITH THE ARMY.
WASHINGTON, June 2.—The number of citi
zens within the lines of the Army of the Po
tomac is almost incredible. Including those
registered and following civil pursuits, such as
newsmen, sutlers, ragmen, , Stc., and having
permits to follow their respective callings, the
total will probably reach 9,000. This number
will, however, be reduced to 7,000 by the ope
ration of the recent general order, which is
daily being carried out by the indefatigable
Provost Marshal General.
cerrurz O 1 ruroLA.
The New York Herald affirms, upon unques
tionable authority, that news of the taking of
Puebla, confirming the particulars brought by
the Sheldrake, with some further particulars
which it prints, has been transmitted to a gen
tleman of that oily. That would appear to
settle the question.
REINFORCEMENT OF GEN. PEMBERTON.
In reference to the rumor that the rebel Gen.
Pemberton was being largely reinforced from
Bragg's army, a Murfreesboro' telegram, Ja ne
2, says !
4 ' There is no evidence of a conclusive na
ture that Claiborne's division of Bragg's army
has bOen Sent to Vicksburg. Only the two old
infantry divisions of.Breokinridge and M'Oow
an, and the cavalry corps of Forrest, (formerly
Van Dorn%) are known to have gone, as has
been stated.
‘'Doubtless the entire, division of Withers,
Claiborne and Cheatham, the infantry brigades
of Anderson and Jackson, and the cavalry
divisions of Wheeler and Wharton, are in our
front."
REINFORCEMENTS FOR GRANT
The Chicago Pon of Saturday publishes the
following paragraph :
" The Chicago Irish Legion, which for a long
time has been stationed near La Grange, Tenn.,
has gone to Vicksburg, with other reinforce
ments for Gen. Grant. It would be contraband
to say how many troops have gone and are
going in the same direction, but they are a
'good many.' ,
The Tribune contains the following Washing
ton items, June 2 :
TERI RE#ORTED REMOVAL OE GEN. nulunta
The report to the effect that Gen. Hunter
had been relieved and Gen. Gilmore placed in
command of the Department of the South, ie
authoritively contradicted.
FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF THE SOUTH.
Gen. Saxton arrived here to-day with im
portant dispatches from Gen. Hunter. He says
that affairs in the Department of the South are
progressing satisfactorily, and that the seem
ing difficulties between Gene. Hunter and Fos
ter will be agreeably arranged. Gen. Saxton
will leave to-morrow with dispatches for Gen.
Hunter.
GEN. ROGEORANE ON AETIVLAT/ON
Gen. Rosecrans has ordered all officers of
the rebel army now held as prisoners, and who
may hereafter be captured in battle, to be
placed in close confinement and strongly
guarded. None will be paroled or exchanged:
/141T , LOON ACC/DENT.
An accident occurred yesterday to one of the
balloons, which fortunately was attended by
no serious results. When the aeronaut had
ascended to the height of about 460 feet, a
sudden gust of wind made a rent in the bal
loon which caused it to descend with undue
velocity, The aeronaut managed to keep in
the basket, and with the exception of being
somewhat stunned, escaped without injury.
