Democratlo Nomination.
The Blh of March Democratic State Convention
Vloscd their labors on Tuesday last. Every County
in the State was fully represented; and on the se
cond ballot Gen. DAVID II. PORTER, of Hun
tingdon county was nominated as the candidato of
the democrittte party for Governor, having received
M votes of the 133 delegates in attendance. A re
solution wus unanimously adopted pledging the in
dividual exertions of each member of tho Conven
tion to promote the election of the nominee ; and a
spirit of harmony and good feeling plainly indicated
that all were gratified with tho result, notwithstand
in? they had lost the nominatidn of their personal
favorites. Gen. I'onTBii is at present a member of
Jlho stato Senate has uniformly supported the meas
ures and candidates of the democratic patty po:

nia may rejoico in the nomination of so pure and
popular a democratic republican as their candidate.
(Tj Tho Antimasonic Conservative Bank party
liave re-nominatcd Mr. Kitncr as their candidate for
(JoVerhdrj and recommended Gen. Harrison for the
Presidency. Thii is all well enough for form's sake;
but what an immense trouble and expense, must
this amalgamated trio of party jugglers sustain mere
ly to find themselves wofully defeated in October
next. Ho must hb blind Indeed, who cannot sco the
power and determination of the democratic party of
Pennsylvania; J hey will rout tho present dynasty
and sccurd the clcctidn of sucli candidate as will
once more put tho Cohilriomvcalth's Matter in good
order. ,
The Bank Jllli;
This bill, the provisions of which wo noticed a
fort-night since, passed a final reading in the House
of Representatives on the d inst. by a voto of 60 to
40. No decisive action has been had upon it in tho
Scna'ti, hut its defeat there is a matter beyond all
doubt".
(Jj 'On the 3d inst. in tho Senate, Mr. McCen.
key offered sundry resolutions in relation to banks.
The first, requiring the banks to resume specie pay
ihchts was negatived by a voto of 20 to 13. When
the second resolution, making tho stockholders per
sonally responsible, was under consideration, Mr.
Pearson wished tho toto takon immediately ho
Wished to sc'b who dare voto in favor of it and con
cluded his remarks by saying that ho would have no

than lie would havo In a horse thief.'.' Truly, he

dj The Berwick "Sentinel" has passed into the
hands of Mr. Levi L. Tate, who promises to ad
vocato tho principles and measuicsof tho Democrat
Ictyaity; Wc wishhim success.
In our next number we shall publish the JYetu
Constitution, as amended by the RcfcrmConvention,
and which will bo submitted to tho people of
Pennsylvania for adoption or rejection at the next
election. An interesting address of the democratic
members df tho Convention will bo found n a pre,

The Murder Case.
The Hon: John Fairfield, of Maine, has introdu
ced a series of resolutions in Congress, calling for
tho appointment of a select committeo to investigate
tho causes which led to the murder of his colleague,
the late Jonathan Cilley. Tho Resolutions passed
by a voto 162 to 49 j and the committee havopow-
Vr to send for persons and papers. Mr. Fairfield
'addressed the Housa in ail eloquent speech, in whid
it is said ho roado Wise, of Virginia, tho primo rrio
M'r in llio dud, turn palo as death, and quake liko
iJtL aspen leaf. Wo hdpo thd committeo may per
.trSrra their duty fuithfully ; ond in doing so, llicy
will undoubtedly put upon Gravc,Visc, and Webb,
that reproach and punishment which tho'y deserve
'ni principal and accessories in the perpetration of
an atrocious and cold-blooded murder;
Several papers, of all parties, are urging upon1 the
authorities of Maryland the immediate arrest of
Graves, Wise and Webb, for the atrocious murder
of Mr. Cilley, Tho public vbico cries aloud for jus
lice and we roe no better mode of securing iHhaii

THE CONVENTION.
AVc congratulate the Dcnlo'craoy of Pa.
upon the harmony winch characterised the
proceedings of the convention. Every co.
M the state was fully represented, and eve
ry delegate sccineil deeply impressed with
the high importance of the trust committed
to his charge. All hearts were bent upon
the holy purpose of rescuing our beloved
Pennsylvania fiom the hlisrulo 'of the fae
tion which now predominates in the Exe
cutive Derpartnioul of the Commonwealth,
and from the determined snivit manifested
upon this occasion, there can scarcely he
tho shadow df a doubt that that riurrioSu will
be accomplished in October next. Never
did a convention assemble in a better spi
rit; and never did a convention close the
pripeipal business for which It was conve
ncd With greater harmony and unity df fee
lingi Disappointments in personal prefer
ences were obliterated by the conviction
that victory was about id perch upon the
Democratic banner, and that act of the con
vention would be sanctioned and approved
by the Ireo and untrammelled ycomany ol
this good old Commonwealth. Let every
democrat who values his principles and is
slhcercly attached to the republican institu
tions which protect his lights and secure
his liberties, put Ins shoulder to the wheel,
and victory is outs. Fa. Jleporlcr.
DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.

distinguished and excellent democrats, were
named as candidates for nomination each,
and ali of whom, were eminently worthy of
the honor but of the whole number, we
risque nothing in saying, Oen, Porter is in
every respect second to none, in his title
to tho confidence and distinction, by which
he has. been honored;

with all its interests and resources in every
section. Hid htincsty and honor are with
out stain or reproach, and his personal pop

the senate, in a district strongly opposed to

Such is the man, presented to the people

on the day of electing Directors, being in most cases the third Friday df March; The
citizens then assembled have hvo acts to perform; 1st, to elect Directors, which must be
done whether the system is to bo put in operation or not ; and 2d, to decide the question
whether the system shall be accepted or not. This last question is only to bo submit

may be decided in the aflirmativd by a mere majority of the votes polled. Sec the 13th
Section of the Common School Law of 1830.
Having thus explained the condition of the State apprbpriations,the manner of dbtainirtg
them; and the mode of accepting tho system, the Superintendent would respectfully ad
dress a word of information and advice to the citizens of such tdwnships, wards and bd
roufrhs di have not vet received it. In doing this ho has no wish officially to become the
advocate of thd system, but solely promote
their situation in relation to it.
By the first Common School Law (that of April 1st 1834,) if any number Districts Hi

This harsh provision was repealed by tho supplement of April 15, 1835, which enacts
that non-aCcepting districts should have two years, (which of course counted from the

sury, tho interest of which drily is annually distributable.
Bui though the law reads thus, tho legal act of acceptance must be performed a consid
erable time before , tho 1st of November, 1838. Under the existing law non-accepting
districts can only adopt tho system, by the
tors, which in most cases takes' place on the

thd act of nccoptaneo which cdrf alone prevent it from attaching, much be performed for
townships in Match,, and for wards and borotlghs, at the time next spring wlicn they

This being the manner ond effect of the forfeiture
to state tho consequences of present adoption.
Acceptance- of tha system1 next snrirle will Hot

Present acceptance will prevent tho forfeiture, not of one, but of foifror fivo years' state appropriations,
including that of noxt school year, amounting in tho ngtrrcgolo to about 51 to each taxable in
habitant, two thousand dollars in a district containing S00 taxables, without counting any thing on a
probablo increaso of appropriation by the present Legislature.
Acceptance next spring, and the consequent receipt of tho above accumulated dividends, will only
burthen each District next year, with a school tax equal to 04 j cents on each taxable. This tax, howev
er, is not to be paid in that prportion by each taxable, in the manner of a poll tax, but will be assessed
on the property, professions end persons thai pay county rates, and on such personal property as paid stato
tax. Tho school tax on a township having 500 taxables, and receiving gS,000 of state appropriaUons,
would bo something less $325,
Hut In reality, ecccptihce will not add rriuch, if any thing, fd the burdien of taxation, in the popu
lous counties. It is known that in many districts tho tax collected by the Oommisioners for the educa
tion of poor children, is equal to the sum which would bo necessary to entitle thoso districts to the re
ceipt of the Common school Funds, if they should adopt like system. Nor would It be necessary, in most
cases, lo lovy a tax beyond tho lowest amount necessary in ordor to secure th" state aid, because their ac
cumulated stato appropriation of four or five years, will He sufficient to build or otherwise prpvids good
