The Couvt-utiuii, )l?t('r'i it waMtic most
tirrinp, dotiTn.incd bi.tly I ever saw as
sembled fr &uy purple. TIit l-'l' j:au
jeared to be tti-wtly of the Crt -.rJ-T 'f

to be io earnett( ami ii.Jicutii.g a lixc-d
bud ind'unitublc iuttT0?t m tbe cuuirst to ;
be decided nrxt lull.
The organiziti m was dclaye-I ly arau
cr rapid dtci.-inu (f the Chairman f the
State Comuiiite', but lheuli:uke uiisrec-tifit-d
by a call of the names of the dele
gates, which resulted in the c!eeriu of
Mr. Jordan, of lKdt.;rd, temporary ehair
man, by 1 majority over .ur. uatnptou .
of Allegheny. The chairman appointed a
committee of 9 on contested seats, who :
decided nine cases brought before them. !
A committee of 33, sehcted fr m each
Senatorial District by the Members from
each District, reported F.x-Gov. l'olloek
fir President, with a large number of
Vice Presidents and Secretaries. The
PrcsiJent elect, on taking his scat, madm
an address which was well received, and
presided with much dignity and fairne.-s.
The crowd in attendance was almost insuf
ferable ; it was literally a '-picked Conven
tion ;" but all were iu good humor, and
some of the by-passages of the occasion
were provocative of immense mirth.
The 6rst serious business was the intro
duction of a resolution by Mr. Lowry of
F.rie in favor of Gen. Cameron as the
choice of the party iu Pennsylvania f ir
the next Presidency, which was delated
until ailiourniucnt. A motion
,tion to postpone 1
aslost-yeasOl, '
the subject ind-.fiuitely, was
nays gl one vote missing. The nomi-:
nation of Gen. Cameron was then carried i
yeas 80, nays il9 fire members decli-1
ring to vote. Tbe discussion was free,
spirited, and brought out much tf the
talent of tbe Convention. The opponents '
of the motion were from Philadelphia,
Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, Delaware,
Allegheny and Lawrence, principally,
isouie objected to the individual, and
evinced much feeling, while others acted
under instructions to take no action what-
ever on the Presidential Tn s'ion. Under '
the Call, however, such aetiou was evident-
ly proper, aud Gen. Cameron was warmly
advocated, receiving almost an unanimous
VOte throughout the lnUri .r of the State,
The Lext questiou was as to the sppuiut-
inent of Delegates to the Chicago Cunven-
tion, upon which much variance of oj ii.i n
existed. It was urged, on the one hand,
that, as otberSiates will go there as a unit, '
lirolen fr,,l. nr her i,.i!n,.,. an.l r.rr
iruuBiiwuiA euou.u ii.m iiwmui uj uu
, , .
would be broken. It as obj c ed, that
tb. custom was not universal, and was
wrong at all events ; that several counties
, , . ,, .
tiad especially warned their de.egates
against any such action ; and that, it this
Convention named Delegates for such di:
r- .
tricts, rcbelliou would ensue, other Dele
ij ensue, o.ner xreK-1
inted, aud both the ;
election cf the Pcnn- '
gates would be appoiute
Domination aod the
rylvama nominee would be endang. red,
by a want of union at heme, provoked by
a usurpation ot power rightfully belonging
to the Deonle alone. It was liuallv com-
S I j
promised in this form : Congressional dis-
tricts which approbated the selection of
Delegates by this Convention, should do
ao. and lteleirates thus rhnspn should hr.
instructed tosustain Gun. Cameron as long
as he was before them; tut those D.stricts'fouoht-so much and so louir ! Dv
which claimed the right to choose directly,
should select their own Deleg.tes through 1
primary meetings-such Dd gates to go
nntrammeled. To this p. ..position, all
ultimately agreed, four exc pted-some
of these four being friendly aud some of '
them opposed to Gen. Cameron.

Chicago leaving 12 Districts to tie filled ;

After an earnest parting exhortation to !

the Convention adjourucd, at 4 u'clutk,
with cheers.
The Caimtol Iiuildirg has presented
a very animated appearance to-day. Since
I last looked iu upon the Legislative halls,
they have bien newly and beautifully
frescoed, and a ventilator placed iu the

I and health of its inmates.
! There were about CO soldiers of 1SI2
enrolled iu the par-dii ou ashingluu's

Ohio, and I know of several who were
not within .their gathering. It was a
pl-asant meeting, oud they took some

It was most agreeable to meet, here,
men from all parts of the State, (in high
position or in privalo life, many of whom
I bad not seen for over twenty years, dur
ing which time we have together passed
from boyhood to the meridian at least of
life. It was also some, satisfaction even
to sec and shake hands with those we had
long known by reputation only. Later
acij'iaiutances, in town and the Slate,were
a!.-o renewed with bright but transient
gladness. We could tut meet, exchange
the friendly grasp, make the kind inijuiry,
hope for another meeting, bow, aud pass

for wife-poisoninc, died at the residence of

on Saturday morning at Ti o'clock, at the j
age of eight years, six months ami fifteen
davs. Several weeks 1 revious to her death
the child sickened with scarlet rash, of

which she bad nearly recovered, when, one
1 1 . -,i
iray she went in cjmpany with a servaut
to market and overheard some one making
the remark, "That is the daughter of Ste
phens, the man who poisoned his wife."
The stigma appeared to weigh heavily on
her mind, and after returning home she
fell into a fit. She last saw her father
three days before bis execution, when she
was taken into his ceil aud bade him a
very affectionate farewell. She was pass- j
ionately attached to him, aud continued to j
the hour of her death to deplore his cruel,
and to her mysterious fate, the particulars .
of which had been communicated to her hy !
her aunt. She could not understand why
her father should be hung, and frequently
attested ber belief in his innocence of tbe
crime charged against him.
On her death-led she repeatedly prayed
that God might have mercy on those who j

brought him to such an end. Lut a f hort i

the slavery T.estion than tbey have rver
been. 1 be Kansas bill has driven otf all

they will prefer a bold, ultra Southerner .
to a renegade.

for Douglas. He is bold, fearless, and1
i self-reliant. Were be elected, be would '
i be President ; he would not come into
; office with a tody-guard of old f gie.i and
politicians, ready to seize up 'O all th -
offices. He is true to tbe South. II
demands not only the use and enjument
of the common Territory for their proper
tv. but insists unon its nrotection there
To b'un we are indebted for tbe Kiusas j
bill, which now presents the points of con-i
tact. He is the true representative of
this principle, and opposes the abomina -
tic principle of Squatter oowrcigiity.
