Mr. A. O. Curtin's hopes of an election
to the Gubernatorial chair of Pennsylvania
arc certainly none of tho brightest. Wo

Now Columbus Acadomy.
Tho Winter Session of the Male and
Female Academy and Normal Institute,
at New Columbus, Luzerne county, will
terminate on Thursday aud Friday, the
5th and Gth days of April, with an ex
amination and Exhibition of all the Pupils
and Classes. It is expected that this Ex,
amination, will be one of interest and inv
portance, alike to Preceptors, Parents and
Pupils, as wo learn tho Scholars have
made unusual proficiency in all branches
of studies. Professor Walker, under
whoso auspices tho Now Columbus Acad
emy aud Normal Institute has been brought
to a high stato of moral culture, is one of
tho best preceptors and most experienced
teachers in Pennsylvania.
Democratic National Convention.
Thc'Philadeiphia Academy of Music has
been tendered to tho Democratic National
Committee, free of charge, for tho purpo
se of the Demoeratio National Convention,
ahould a change from Charleston be deem
ed advisable.
Harristiuro a City. A law has been
passed by the Legislature, changing tho
Through of Ilarrisburg into a City. Tho
first election under the City Charter will
bo held on the 13th of April, when the
Mayor and other municipal officers will
be chosen tho Mayor, we believe, to hold
his offico for three years. It will, doubt
less, bo a warmly contested election.
Another Victory. At the recent
municipal election in Carlislo, tho Demo
cratic candidate for Chief Burgess was
elected by a majority of 18 tho vote be
ing 341 for Blair, (Dem.) and 323 for
Nodle, (Rep.) The Democrats also elec
ted Jive of tho nine Councilmcn. This is
the first time in tho last seven years, wo
believo, that the old Borough has been car
ried by the Democrats, and argues well for
our success at the approaching Stato election.
Abolition Practice vs. Abolition
Precept. Tho Chicago Times says that
a large wholesale houso m Chicago lately
sent n agent into Missouri to look into tho
circumstances of one of their debtors in
that State. Tbo agent went, and shortly
reported that the debtor had nothing of (
valuo except a couplo of negro children.
His employers were Republican yet they
wrote back to levy on the negro children,
and hold them for tho debt. This was
dono, but without effect, for the distressed
debtor could not raiso tho funds. Tho
Republican firm then wrote to have tho
children sold topay a debt of 000,
An OvERSianT. Some of Mr. Seward's
friends appear to be excessively annoyed
because his opponents will not tako his ro'
cent speech in tho Senate as his platform,
but porbist in quoting from his Rochester
fcpeech, concerning tho irrepressible con
flict, ke. This difficulty, says tho Daily
News, has arisen in consequenco of an
overflight on tho part of Mr. Seward him
self. Ho should have added another clause
to bis Senatorial speech to this effect :
" And all other speeches and declarations
of opinions and principles heretofore mado,
which aro inconsistent with tho sentiments
coutainod in this speech, are hereby un
conditionally repealed.'1

Governor Packer has vetood the
Philadelphia Police bill, passed by the
Legislature. It was passed by the Oppo
sition majority for tho purpose of perpetu
ating their power in Philadelphia through
tho police. It practically gives tho Com
missioners, ono of whom is tho present
Mayor, power to retain the present police
force for a term of five years, and strips the
Mayor to bo elected in May, who is sure
to bo a Democrat, of all patronagoj This
desperate attempt to control the next clcc
ion, wo arc happy to bay, has been so far
frustrated by the interposition of the Lxo
cutivc veto. The Opposition in tho House
have passed tho bill over tho head of tho
Governor. It cannot pass the Senate ifthe
Democrats watchfully guard against a sur
prise.
Charleston Convention, The Char
leston Convention will vote by States, each
State casting as many votes as in the elec
toral college ; but by a resolution adopted
at Cincinnati, the Convention will bo com
posed of twice as many delegates as voters.
Classified into free and slavo States, the
former will send 300 against 210 from tho
latter. Besides these, the members of tho
National Democratic Executive Committee
have seats on the floor of tho Convention,
but no votes. They aro thirty-three in
number. Moreover, it is customary to
admit distinguished members of tho party
to tho floor of tho house as a courtesy ; so
that tho Convention will be composed of
about G20 members.
Delegates to Charleston. Tho
Pennsylvania Delegates to tho Charleston
Convention, and their friends have charter
ed the steamer Keystone State, for the
purpose of getting to that city. The par
ty will taKo their meals anu lodgings on
board of tho steamer during tho contin
uance of tho Convention, each ono having
agreed to pay 850 for his passago and
board. This course was deemed necessary
in consequence of information received by
one of tho delegates, that "0 per day
would be required for a double-bedded
room in the hotels, aud only to be secured
at this prico upon tho engagement of them
five days before tho meeting of tho Conven
tion.

I am for conciliation, for burying tho tom
ahawk, and smoking the pipo of peace.
I am for tho nomination which has just
been made, and, as an humble Democrat,
will fight in tho ranks from now until suc
cess crowns our efforts with a glorious tri
umph. Cheers. Four years ago, tho.
grandest of political struggles took place.
On it was staked tho government of an em

Tho Democracy stood forth boldly and do

of our choice in tho chair of Washington.

New County. Tho Legislature has
carved a newjeounty, to bo called Cameron,
out of parts of M'Kcan, Potter, Clinton
and l'Ak counties, against the earnest
protest of Mr. Blood who represents ono of
the dismembered counties in tho Senate.
Tho now county is just largo enough to
come within the provisions of tho Constitu

tion, which will bo subjected to unnecessary
taxation for the erection of county build
ings and tho accommodation of speculators,
who wish to plant it town in tho wilderness.

The question of slavery is altogether too
gieal and momentous to bo thus prostitu
ted to tho selfish schemes of speculating
capatalistsand venal politicans and narrow-
minded economical bigots. It those who
now manage tho affairs of tho Republican
party contemplate any such mauoeuvcr, wo
warn thoin in time that they had better let
it alone. They havo not so great a sur
plus of votes that they can afford to drive
off the friends of frco trade from their
ranks. Jlnd if then do commit this blun
der, ice tell them thnt the year 1800 is the
last in which the. present political party
will Jigurc m a rreitdcnnal election.'
In tho above, two great leading princi
ples aro asserted.
1st. That free trade is a fundamental
doctrine of the Republican party.
2d. That tho nigger question is entirely
"too great and'moincntous" to allow any
affiliation with the tariff.
That such is the doctrine of the Repub
licans, as a party, wo havo repeatedly as
sorted. That tho politicians of tho Pco
pie's party of Pennsylvania arc disposed
to yield to tho outsido presuro of the Re
publicans, a glance at tho proceedings of
tho Convention of tho Peopla's party, held
at Ilarrisburg, makes so evident that ho
who runs may read. What are tho reso
lutions of tho Pooplo's party, adopted at
Ilarrisburg? Wo find resolution after
resolution on tho subject of slavery. Tho
" great and momentous question" of tho
nigger, in connection with tho political as
pirations of Simon Cameron, over-rides
overything, and impregnates all tho pro
i cccdings of the Convention, What docs
tho t'iriff party assert as its platform
relation to the industrial interests of
finished and right. It abounds in interest,
chiefly of tho Queen Anno period, and of
tho contests respecting the privileges of thu
Lords and Commons ; with description
of the inner life of the country, never be
fore published, or indeed discovered. Vol-
ume six is so fur advanced as only to need
little arrangement from Lord Macaulny s
, great friend, Mr. KHis, who is left hii lit

I executor, almo-t everything being left to
her; and in her hurry preparing to go out
to Sir Charles, at Madras, the precious
MSS and other valuables aro for tlio pro

Trevelyan had left Holly Lodge that
morning to return iu the evening, but her
brother had died an hour, before bho got
back. On Monday, in the Abboy, she
and her and daughter tho latter Lord
Macaulay's great lavorito were in the
gallery high above the grave, and their
passionate grief as the body was lowered
was really terrible."
" Free SrEuoii" and " Free L.uion."
These are tho catch words of tho Black
Republicans, which they repeat on all oc
casions with parrot-liko sense and consis
tency. But they mean only free speech in
favor of " niggers" and free labor for them.
Frco speech iu behalf of frco whilo labor
and laborers is a crime with them, Tcro
is an example cited by another paper : desecrated and
