EVENING SESSION.
The Convention re-assemb'ed at 7 o'clock,
and was called to order by the President,
Hon. J. Clancy Jones.
Mr. Black, from the Committee on Resolu
tions, submitted the following, which were
resd amid loud applause.
Rtsolvtd, That the Democratic party need
not, on old and eettled issues, to declare its
principles in detail. It is sufficient for us to
say that we belong to the Democracy of the
Union, and recognize no geographical lines
between the North and South. Tbe interests
of all parts of the country are the same to us,
and so far as in our power we will maintain
the Constitutional rights of every Stale with
uniform fidelity.
Resolved, That every one who makes our
country his home, and loves the constitution,
the laws and the liberty of the Union, is in its
Jargesl sense, a True American. His birth
place was not of bis own selection, and should
do him neither good nor harm—his religion
is between himself and his God, and should
be left to his own judgment, conscience and
responsibility.. .
Resolved, That we regard the secret order,
commonly called " Know-Nothings," as an
organization dangerons to the prosperity and
peace of the country. We consider iis de
signs ss unconstitutional and void of patriot
ism ; being at once opposed to the spirit ol
true Christianity and a just and manly Amer
ican sonliment.
Resolved, That the Democratic pany reiter
ate and re assert their confidence in, and ad
herence to the political creed promulgated by-
Thomas Jefferson, in his first inaugural ad
dress, and practiced by Madison, Monroe,
.lack6m, Van Buren, Polk, and Pierce, in
their adminis'.rationr—that these principles
require no concealment, and that experience
has fully determined their applicability to
all the interests of (he American peoplo.
Resolved, Thai we have undiminished con
fidence in the ability and integrity of Frank
'lin Pierce, and his administration of the gov
ernment of our country.
Resolved, That the views and principles of the
present Stale Administration, as embodied in
the acts passed by (ha recent Legislature,
and approved by the Governor, by which the
.interest of the State have been or are propo
sed to be seriously and injuriously affected,
contrasts strongly with the wise and judicious
management of tbe Government hy Governor
Bigler, and tend to show the danger ol en
trusting the control of the Commonwealth to
the hands of men who are swayed hy fanati
cism and governed by prejudice.
Resolved, That we pledge our party and
united afforu (a the election of Arnold Plum,
er, the candidate for Canal Commissioner,
whom we have this day nominated without
a dissenting voice.
Mr. Wright as Chairman of the Commit
tee, presented a minority rt>\nof.' embracing
tbe approval of the Kansas and Nebula bill,
anil expressing hostility to the passageoof. f 'he
"jug law" by the legislature, after the popu'
lax vote ol laat fall on the subject of prohibi
tion.
Mr. Hotter—Mr. President, I move that
tbe resolutions reported by the gentleman
from Allegheny county, (Mr. Black), be adop
ted.
Mr. Hoffworth—l trove to amend, by say
ing that the resolutions contained in the ma
jority report be taken up and reconsidered
separately.
Jlr. Wright—l move to amend by substitu
ting tho "minority report."
The question was put on the amendment
end it was decided in the negative.
Tbe yeas and nays weie called for. Mr.
Wright here made a long and able argument
in favor of the minority resolutions. He was
followed by Col. Black in support of his ma
jorily resolutions. In the course of his re
marks the Colonel gave the Know-Nothings
some pretty bard knocks.
The yeas and nays were ordered on the
amendment lothe amendment, and being ta
ken, resulted yeas 19, nays 89- So it was
not adopted.
Mr. Wright—l now offer as an amendment'
that resolution in the minority report which
provides any change in the constitution au
thorizing negroes to vote.
I: read as follows:
Resolved, That we are opposed to any
change in our Slate Constitution conferring
upon negroes the right of suffrage. We are
not willing that this class of Americans shall
rule this part of America, conceding to other
States the right to gratify their own tatles in
this particular, however much we may differ
from them in opinions.
On this amendment to the amendment Mr.
TVright called for the yeas and nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered, ar.d
being taken, rueuljed as follow : Yeas 61, nays
28.
oo the amendment to the amendment was
adopted.
Mr. Chase called for the previous ques
tion.
Mr. Ludlow—l wish to offer an amend
ment lo the first resolution iu the majority re
port.
Tbe resolution now reads—
Resolved, That the Democratic party need
not on old and eettled issue* to declare its
prinoiplee in detail. It it sufficient tor us to
aay that we belong to the Democracy of the
Union, and recognize no geographical lines
between tbe North and South. The interests
of all parts of the eountry are the same to us,
aod so far as in our power, we will maintain
tbe constitutional rights of every State, with
uniform fidelity.
My amendment is to insert after the word
"Stale" the words ''and recognize in ita wi
dest extent the principles of popular sover
eignly in It* territories;"-eo that tbe sentence
will read—"The interests of all parts of tbe
country are the same to us, and se far as in
our power, we will maintain the constitution
al rights of every Stste, and recognize in its
widest extent the principle of popular sover
eignty in the territories."
"On this amendment the yeas and nays were
cnlled for, and being ordered, resulted yeas
91, nays 6.
So the amendment was agreed to.
Mr. Chase again called for the previous
question, and the call was sustained.
On the question, shall the main question
now be put, it was decided in the afflrma
live, ayes 62, nays 30.
The question recurred on the majority res
olutions as amended, and being put, was
unanimously decided in tbe affirmative.
Mr. Chase—T offer the following resolu
tion :
Resolved,, That the National Constitution
wisely commits the institution of slavery to
the control of the States where it has exist
ence, and we will resist all attempts by the
people of the non-slave-bolding States to in
terfere with the rights guarantied to the insti
stilution, so also will we resist any attempt to
use the powers of the general government to
perpetuate or extend the institution.
Resolved, That the taking possession of the
polls at the election for the organization of
the Territory of Kansas by large bodies of
men from Missouri, for the purpose of over
awing the bona fide residents of the Territory,
was a gross infraction of the laws, and an
outrage that calls for the severest reprobation
of the American people, end we therefore
most heartily endorse the coarse pursued by
tbe Hon. A. H. Reeder, in his patriotic efforts
to enforce the laws and protect the rights of
the people of Kansas from violence and usur
pation.
A motion was made to lay the resolutions
on the table, anJ being put, was agrted to.
So the resolutions were laid on the table.
Mr, McKinney—l have the following res
olution to offer: .
Resolved, That the tempcranco question is
one of morality solely, and morality must be
educated not legislated into the mind. That
the last Know-Nothing Legislature in passing
what is properly denominated the "jug law"
did legislate upon a moral question, which
deserves no place in our statute books and
we therefore call lor ita unconditional re
peal.
Mr. Johnson moved to lay the resolution
on the table.
Mr. Wright called for the yeas and nays
on the motion, arid they were ordered, and
being taken resulted veas 59, nays 35.
So the resolution was laid on the table.
Mr. Ludlow—Mr. President I offer the fol
lowing resolution.
Resolved, That tho thanks of this Conven
tion be presented to the officers for the able
manner in which they have discharged (heir
duties.
The resolution was agreed to, and the con
vention adjourned sine die.

Sum Houston a Duellist,
Judge J. tells a tale about Sam Houston
which is 'good enough to print.' During the
canvass that resulted in Sam's beating Bui;
riett for the Presidency of the Republic ol
Texas, some rather harsh terms bad passed
between the parties, when Burnett took oc
casion to send Houston a challenge. Previ
ous to its reception, Sam got information of
the intention of'his opponent, and when Dr.
Acher, who was sent by Mr. Burnett to deliv
er the challegc, was introduced imo Mr. H.'s
room, he found that gentleman in bed, groan
ing, and apparently suffering with the most
excreting pain.
It was *0.718 time before the dislingnished
visitor was i.pti'ced by the invalid ; but final
ly after listening to '-he reading of the chal

The SALT LAKE MORMONS. —lntelligence
from the colony iu the Salt Luke Wilderness

President Young had set out for a five weeks'
tour to (tie southern settlement, during which
time all, or nearly all, of the settlements in
that direction will be visited, and talks held
with the Indians contiguous to the route.—
The grasshoppers were doing great damage
to tbe crop. No rain had lallen, the earth
was. drying up, and many of the Mormons
were fearful of a famine. In one part of the
conntry the gulls were annihilating the grass
hopper*. Two companies have left on mis
sions to the British Isles and the United Slates.
The two companies will travel together us far
as Fort Leavenworth on the Missouri.—
Another party had started for San Francisco,
for the purpose of publishing the Book ol
Mormon in the Hawaian language, and to
establish a newspaper- Three thousand em

Bank of England, and the estimated value of
gems and jewels is almost fabulous, before
which the crown jewels and regalia of Eng

Here I saw the richest man in all Russia,,

FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER,
ARNOLD PLUMER,
OF VENANGO COONTV,
THE STATE CONVENTION.
The honest men of Pennsylvania will be
pleased to see that the Democratic State Con
vention last week took the bold stand that
enly true Democrats ar.d honest men shall
participate in directing the preserving policy
of tho party. The delegates from Dauphin
who were excluded had been fairly chosen
: last fall by a regular county convention, and
had certainly the advantage of the contestants
in the regularity of their election. But the
true and bold ground was taken -that only
Democrala can rule the party,
and that a man cannot one day secretly con
spire with lite enemies of the people's cause
and the next day attempt to represent hon
est men na their leader.
As to two of tho delegates, there was only
proof that they supported the Know-Nothing
candidates; and this was certainly the only
evidence that would be prod need against
three-fourth of the Know-Nothings in the
State if they should offer to go into a Dem
ocratic convention. They deny their mem
bership, and no free witnesses are called into
the Councils of the secret order to see who
is there. And if men should even be called
out of the Councils to swear that a man was
not a Know-Nothing, this second oath would
only prove his moral perjury in the first when
he 6Wore not to reveal the names of mem
bers of the Order. And we need hardly say
that he who would thus recklessly sport wi'.b
"dicer's oaths" has not in such an oath one
half the moral force of truh that lays in the
word of an honest matt.
You can only prove a Know-Nothing to
be such by the candidates he supports, the
company he keeps—and the apologies he
makes for the heresies of his fellow conspi
rators. When yon see a man vote ami work
for tho notoriously Know-Nothing cnndiJales
—when he holds himself ready for tho mar
ket to do their dirty work for any paltry pit
tance — when he cringes and fawns around
their leaderf—when his silence and apologies
defend them as much as he can ; lie is surely
a Know-Nothing-, or would be if he was not
too much a fool to be trusted with their
inside secrets.
Cameron was last winter the Ctitaline of
the midnight conspiracy, and it was lite duty
of the late convention to see that the repub
lic suffers no detriment from bi*.plot. The
action was tho only course of safety to main
tain the purity of the party. We should be
glad that Cumernn openly left the Democrat
ic party and took his place in the ranks of
the Know Nothings. The next thihg is to
sae that he remains there, or at least* does
not coma back to trouble us; and that all his
fellow conspirators go out with him. The
lesson of the convention is a wholesome one,
and should be a warning to all public men
of easy virtue.
Arnold Plumer.
The Democratic nominee received favor
from tho late convention not because he
sought it, but because it was believed that he
deserved it. He was not present at the con
vention, and begged votes from no man.—
This is an instance of honor as creditable to
him as to the party which nominated him.
We know that this faot gained him some of
the best votes of the convention.
Mr. Plumer has narsed through several im
portant publio stations with the highest char
acter lor integrity ; and these arc days when
\re want honest men for office. His years
an J circumstances of life are such as place
him bovond the temptation of error; and his
;teadv ana honest business habits, have form
eil a character for him in which all men can
have tVn'icit confidence. Ha has managed
his own'bust, Bafe 'y nnd and
has always conduct" bimself b <""bly in
positions oT public trust. - His acquaintance
with public men and pnblio ,bu'h9M will be
valuable in the Canal Board.
Death ol 8. P. Pollings- .
Samuel P. Codings. Esq., the gentleman ap- I
pointed by President Pierce United Slates
Consul at Tangier, is dead. Mr. Codings
was from Wtlkesbarre, and had been long
connected with the Demooratio press in this
State, of winch be was a most conspicuous
member.
Mr Codings was the most vigorous politi
cal writer in Northern Pennsylvania, and was
devoted to his political faith with earnest zeal
and unyielding enthusiasm. He gave np ev
ery energy and power to the cause of the
people, and devoted all the best years of his
life to the public service. 11a was a man of
strong feelings and clearly reasoned princi
ples. His mind was strong, and polished by
each refined scholarship that it would have
adorned the most elevated position of human
life.
Hi* los* will be felt by many a friend whom
bill generosity served; end his memory
hekjtio respect by all who admired his fear
less and manly rebuke of error.

TEARS.
A tear, what ia It? A briny <bp forced
from tlie eye by some moving power within.
Yet even that little, sparkling drop ia not
without a power. How oft baa the hard,
cold and seemingly unfeeling heart been
melted by a lear? There are many kinds of
tears: Tears of grief, 'of joy, of anger and
of syfltipslhy. When the atorme of life
are raging around; when friends prove false
and bright hopes fade; when the world seems
cold and dreary and lift heart ia oppressed
with its mighty burden of real or snpposed
griefs, what a reliof it ia to retire to weep
alone! How oft have I seen the fond moth
er as she bade a last adieu to the lifeless
form ot her lovely child, kiss the cold, pale
brow, while the briny tear drnps fell thick
and fast on the face of the deitl I And the
anxious wife as she waited the coming of
her husband until the clock struck twelve,
nnd then, perhaps be doomed to behold him
stagger into the room under the effects of
the 'social glass' and hear nothing but enrses
from those lips from which she was wont
to hear kind and loving words. She now re
tires to moisten her pillow with bitter tears
of grief: the little prattler climbs his father's
knee with the sparkling teardrnn still glitter
ing on his cheek, but bow soon chased away
by smiles I
There iB another class o( tears, not differ
ent in appearance but called forth by far dif
ferent emotions, these are tears of joy. I
have seen the maiden weep at the return of
her lover, the wife at the coming of her hus
band, and the mother at the appearance of
the loved child whose absence she had so
lor.g mourned. Tears of joy are kindred to
tears of mirth, how often do we see the
heany laugh call forth tears, bright, spark
ling, merry tears.
And thero are tears of anger too, but these
( are without much power, they spring not
i from a pure and innocent heart, and are un-*
j lovely either in man or woman, so we will
pass them by. There is nnothet, kind of
I tears, I know not by what name to call them
tand scarcely kr.ow how to describe them:
they are such as children sometimes shed
| when they know by so doing they can have
| their wishes gratified by their parents or
I friends w ho are weak enough to regard them.
It was a few days ago, that while I was at
the house of a friend littlo Lucy asked her
mother for something which was refused her,
she immediately beaan to weep so immod
erately that the yielding mother, instead ol
punishing her -as she should have done, gave
her what she asked for. Not by children
alone have I seen such tears used in order
to gain their wishes. I have seen the wife
make them the mean?of melting the heart
of her husband. 1 have seen the hypocrite
shed them in order to gair. the confidence of
the world. Yes, I have een the young lady
j of lashion shed them when she wished to
win lire attention of others.
j There is jet another class of lears which I
: value more ihan any other. They are tears
of sympathy. They bespeak a heart alive
j to the woes of others; a spirit willing to
! comfort the afflicted care worn soul. They
| being balm to henl the wounds inflicted by
i the harsh unfeeling world. Oh heaven born
| sympathy ! II in any kind of tears thero is
| a reflection of Heaven, it is iit those that
| flow at the sight of other's griefs. Such
■ tears are not unbecoming even in the "stern
|or se'x,"'for what noble heart will not think
1 the example of the Saviour of mankind well
J worth imitating' When lie heard from the hps
ol llary the sad account of the death of her
| brothe'r Lazarus, Ho wept with her and min
gled His tears with hers. And when He look
ed on Jerusalem Hd wept that the Jews
should be so blind to their spiritual interests:
He wept for their hard heartedness and un
belief: He wept tears of pity, for He knew
that they were soon to be a broken and scat
tered people. Such are lears of sympathy—•
blessed, Heavenly; yes God-like! May they
still continue to flow to refresh the soul, like
cooling showers on the parched earth in snm
mer.

1 be Cntlawlsso Raspberry.
The Cattawissa raspberry originated in
the graveyard of a liitle Quaker meeting
house in the village of Cattawissa, Columbia
county. The fruit is of medium size, inferi
or to many of the no v popular varieties,but
is sufficiently large for alkeoonomioal purpo
ses. Its color is dark reddish purple when
ripe, and is of a very high flavor. It bears
most abundantly after the young wood, on
which it produces its best frnit, attains a
eight of four or five feet, usually begins to
ripen early in August, and even sooner. The
fruit is produced on branches continually
pushing out from ail parts, successfully ap
pearing in the various stages of growth, from
the blossom to perfect maturity; and often
there may be couuted more than fifty berries
(j;; a branch. As the fruit of each branch
successively ripens, the latter ones gradually
diminish in size ; but there is no suspension
of blooming or fruiting before plant is check
ed by frost. If protected it} doors, it undoubt
edly would produce fruit during (he winter
months. Gild frei! advantage of (hie over
varieties of the raspberry is, that if the stocks
should be accidentally broken or cutoff, or
should be killed by winter frost, it is all the
belter for the crop. Another ml vantage is,
that from a small space, well cultivated, a
daily dessert for a small family would always
be at hand for from three to four months ol
the year.

'I be Neiva trom Europe.
• The Hermann, at New-York, and the
America, at Halifax, bring the one four days
and the other seven days later news from
Europe. The intelligence from the seal ol
war is important, though but brief details re
ceived by telegraph by the English and
F'rench governments, are given to the public.
Rumor was very rife when the Hermann left
of a feverejjspnlse sustained by the Allied
forces irt storming MalakofT and the Redan;
and though five days had intervened before
the sailing ol the steamer America, Since the
bailie, which was fought on the morning of
the 13th of June, but few additional facts had
transpired, and those Were communicated
officially by Lord Panmure. Private ac
count' were more foil. They describe the
battle to have been a simultaneous attack
by the British upon the Redan, and the
French upon the MalakofT. The Allies fought
with their usual courage and impetuosity,
and the French gained a fooling in the Mal
akoff, hut the Russians opened upon (bam
with a dreadful fire and from new an-1 un
expected batteries. The Allies were com
pelled to abandon tho attack and retreat to
their formar parallels. The Russians appear
to have followed the retreating Allies, and
have succeeded in recapturig the Mamelon
outworks, to get poisession of which caused
the French such a severe loss on the 7th ul
timo. This assault is the first undertaking
by storm against the regular defences of Se
bastopol, and its disastrous result does not
augur favorably for a speedy capture of the
place. The military skill of the Russians
fully equals that of the Allies, the courage
and devotion of the soldiery are as great,
their resources are greater, and their means
of defence appear to be unparalleled
Gortsehakofl telegraphs to the Emperor that
the recent advantages gained by the Allies in
the Sea of Azof! does not a fleet the supplies
of the army, as ibeyr are mosllv obtained by
laud. With full supplies, a sufficient garri
son, and a city surrounded with fortification;
of the most formidable character, before
which the Allied troops fall in hecatombs,
the prospect of getting possession of the city
seems as remote as ever.
MP" A portion of Lycoming County, as
ye learn by letters from Jersey Shore, was
visited on the evening ot flhe 30ih of Jane
last, with a very heavy rain, resembling a
water spout, and much damage was done to
the hay and wheat crops, and especially to
the Larry's Creek I'lank Road. A number
of its bridges were carried away, and it
would require two weeks before the travel
will be resumed. This road is located in
Lycoming county, beginning at a point two
miles east of Jersey Shore and two miles
from thi Sunbury and Erie Railroad, and it
terminates at Little Pine Creek, a distance of
20 miles, palling soma six or eight miles
through the limber lands of Messrs. Chew,
Uawle and Cadwalder, who oontributed
largely to the completion of the road.
A PETRIFIED RATTLESNAKE was found at

bly open those obstructions to which females

channel, whereby heath is restored,and the
pale and deadly countenance changed to a
healthy one. No female can enjoy goo J

an obstruction lakes place, whether from ex
posure, cold, or any other cause, the general
health immediately begins to decline, and the
want of such a remedy has beer, tho cause of
so many consumptions among young female.
To lailiea whose health will not permit an in
