Speech of Hon. Harry Hakes.
Wo have perused with interest and sat

Hakk3, ono of tho Representatives, at
Ilarrisburg, February 18, 1804, on tho
llesolution proposing to require proof of
loyalty from tho persons claiming pay

Dr. Hakes' ppoech is a noblo dofenro of
the rights of all tho citizens ot Pennsylva

taiucd injury by tho Rebel Raids into our
Slate, and is at tho same time, a masterly
csposo of tho snoaking attempt of tho abo

test of loyalty for 'tho disunionists, by
which democrats may bo deprived of their
just rights, and tho others rewarded for
harboring the Rebels. This is ibo mean

Democratic State Convention.
Wo hear from every quarter that the
State Convention, which is to bo held iu
Philadelphia on the 2-lth of March, will
not only be full inside, but that there will
bo a larger and outside representation than
usual, It will have grave work to perform
and, we trust its deliberations will becalm
and its action prudent. In regard to del
egates at largo to tho National Convention
which is to assemble at Chicago on the 4th
of July, wo trust wo may intimato with
oat impropriety, that wise and reliable
Democrats only should be selected. We '
are confident the convention will fool tho
necessity for such representatives, aud,
therefore, need prets tho matter uo fur

ulrcady mentioned for that responsible
position, wo notiee Geo. W. Cass, of Alle

Hcistcr Clymor, of Berks, and Geo. W.
Woodward of Philadelphia Thero will
doubtless bo others equally worthy, pres

choosing delegates who will fully satisfy
public expectation.
Extracts of a Letter from a Sol

Oami- of the 21bt Iowa Reot.,
Texas, February 7, 1804.
Dear Col. Tate:
I writo to say that I am yot on tho
land nud among tlio liviug Tho upcor
taiuty of life is strikingly cxcmpliflcd
here in tho Army. Although I have en
joyed oxccllcnt health since I moved to
lona and came into the Southern Slates.
Wo spent soma time in Louisaca, then
camo into Tcsa9, and laudod first upon
Mustang Island, aud arc now on tho Ma
tagorda Day, (Texas,) in tho town of In
dianola. Wo arc quartered in tho vacant
houses and enjoying ourselves first rate.
The weather has been dry and warm all
winter, with tho exception of a cold snap
ab out tho holidays, but it was nothing to
what 1 was used to iu Iowa, or oven in
"old Lycoming co."
The gardens hero aro made and aro
preen and some of tho flowers arc in full
bloom. Tho people have their Potatoes
planted. Natuic is appearing in her robes
of green and loveliness. This is tho hand
somest country I have overseen.
Fire-wood is very searco hero. Wo haTe
to burn fences and buildings. The water
is very poor i.ud salty, except rainwatcr,
and the tide ebbs and flows so low is tho
laud-three fectin every twenty-four hours.
Tho prospects of peace are favorable in
this Slate. Tho Rebels have not stood us
a single fight binee we landed on this Coast.
They run wherever wo over-haul them.
It is said they aro well fortified at Hons
ton, but bow it is,or will be, I do not know,
as they havo skcdadlod from as pood forti

bo no difficulty in tho way of aaimmcdiato
restoration of tho spcoio basis, as our Stato
institutions have always in their vaults a
sufficiency of coin to warrant a resumption

"tho government hero is in tho hands of
working classes'1? vory great efforts nro
making to form and consolidate an am
tocracy, whioh is to consist of holders of
National stooks, which aro to bo froo from
taxes. Should that succeed, and thereby
Congress become merely tho tool of this
shoddy nubility, then taxes would bo enor

liqidution nor repudiation would bo pos

Wo have looked over with very groat
Interest some pamphlets containing much
information in regard to Agricultural and

and smaller farms must be the order, and
when much abused 'scientific fanning"'

accomplished professors, and to bo In a

Wo obfervo an attempt making in tho
Legislature, to give to somo other institu
lions, a portion of tho funds which was
intended by CoDgrcss to endow The Stato
Agricultural Collego. But wo trust no
such thing may be done. It would crip

ner etrogthen the others. Giro to tho
"Stato Institution" all tho strength in
money and means it actually needs; and
let us try tho experiment fully, and if it
fails which it cannot do, wo shall then
know that tho cause is not in tho luok of
means, but in tha system.

The Lancaster Intelligencer, says this
notorious English Abolitionist, who for
thirty lotg years has boon laboring to
destroy tho American Union, is again in
this country having been sent for by
some of tho "loyal" friends of tho Ad
ministration. Ho oommenced his destruc
tive work in Boston, on tho eVening of
the 10th ult., having been introduced to
tho meeting by tho ''loyal" Collector of
tho Port, Mr. Goodrich.
Thompson began his disunion harangue
by thanking God that he had lived to see
tho fruits of his labors tho bloody triumph
of Abolitionism in the noblo position that
America had taken, and hoped in a few
days to havo tho opportunity to speak
more fully on tho stato of feeling in Eng
land in relation to our groat struggle In
conclusion, ho alluded to George Wash

to bo falling baok to Tunnel Hill, wliich is

The lastestnews from Knoxville is that
Longstrcet is in rapid retreat, closely pur

skirmishing had taken place with his roar

The news from Florida and tho South
west is bad. Gen, Seymour in command
of tho forces in Florida, had been badly
ueieatcu in an action at uiustee, nis
loss is reported at from 1,200 to 1,000.
The troops engaged were principally from
wew England and iow oik. uno or
two colored regiments were engaged. Tho
rebel army is roported 15,000 strong. We
do not credit this, nor do we believe that
cither Hardee or Beauregard was in com
mand, as reported. Tha defeat was un
doubtedly the result of ovcr-coiifidenco
and bad gcnoralship. Tho expedition was
ono of Lincoln's planning to reconstruct
