On, motion of W. Negley, the Chairman
of this Convention, in - oottjunetionl with the
Chairman of the Political Convention hereaf
ter to be held, was authorized to appoint a
r County . Executive Committee, to, consist of
twenty-one members. t
Mr. Jones, Chairman of the Committe on
Itissoltnione, submitted a report, which was
read by Mr. White, as follows: '•
I. Resolved, That looking to the present
distracted condition of our common country,
requiring the union of all hearts and all hands
in the common disuse; tied the fact that all of
the usual topics of party lontrbversylbave been
rettledly the existing war, we think we are
justly entitled to invoke and claim the aid of
every loyal citizen in'the support of the pre-,
seat administration of the tienoral Govern. s
2. Resolved, That the public and official,
conduct of the President of the United States
under cironmatances iztore trpieg by far than
any which bin predecessors have over been
called upon to meet, has fully indicated the
confidence in his integrity and wisdom, which •
designated him as the choice of the Republi
can party, and raised .him by a vote so em
phatie and decisive to the exalted and respon
sible station'which the Providence of (led haa
called him to occupy. •
3. Resofveri, That we regard the recom
mendation and endorsement of the policy of
advising and smoouraghig a system of grad
ual emancipation in the Slave States—the ab
olition of slavery in the capital of the nation
-its prohibition In the territories-Lthe sol
emti recognition of the doctrine that freedom
is the general law of the Union and slavery
bUt rectionai,—and the recent passage, after
eu long a struggle, of the bill to confiscate all,
the property of the rebel master—az so many
victories, not lens important, although blood
less in themseives--to the peace and, security
of this s roost '. ection, than the brilliant and
bloody triumph of its arms. f
4. Rooked, That it is now conclusively
demonstrated at the cost of a pretreated war,
Involving an enormous outlay—the expendi
ture of many thousands offlivell--and an inap
preciable amount of private misery—that the
endeavor to save or conciliate that exacting
and untameable anterest, which has armed
the. Southern States in rebellion armrest this
Government, by refusing to strike at tbo real
cause of the war,or to make it even available fur
the purpose of saperessing that war—by ales
tag our camps against the information or aid
of the contrabands—by turning our free vol.
unteers into slave catchers, and worst of all,
by employing our , soldiers in protecting the
property and homes of the very chiefs.of this I
refereal revolt, at this expense of oar Wounded
and suffering breves, from the consequences
of their own treason, in the calarn ties which
it has visited upon the &gantry—Das vain and
idle in itself, as it to unmet to the people of
- the Free States, and the devoted and self
sacrificing men whom they have pant out,
and are now assisting to \fight the battles of the Union.
5. Resolved; That it is altogether impossi
ble to suppress the existing rebellion so long'
as ouch a spirit is allowed to prevail amongst
the officers of our army, and , that it le abso
lately essential, as well to the lives and. inter
este or the soldiery as te the preservation of
the Union itself, that the war shall be prose
elated with each vigor and earnestness as shall
bring it to the earliest possible conclusion;
and that no tenderness for slavery or treason
—whieh is only another 111 1 / 1 10 for cruelty to
freedom-and loyalty—shalt stay the band of
the- Government, and no "hesitation or heel:-
war:lnes& be shown in rumoring the cau.es or
thie unuatural strife, by. so dealing with the
traitors and their property, either general or
peculiar,. in all vises, as the enormity of their
crime has deserved, end as will remove an far
as - practicable tho burthen of the war from the
shoulders of the patriotic and the innocent.
Resoferd, That the lion. David Wilmot,
Senator representing= Pennsylvania in the
Veiled States Senate, deserves the cordhlence
and thanks of all tree friends of the Union,
for hie consistent. honest and patriotic coarse;
and we hereby declare that Edgar A. Cowan,
now sitting as a Senator of Pennsylvania,
does not represent the sentiments of the loyal
people of Pennsylvania, and we instruct our
delegates This• day elected to the State Con
caution_ to present this resolotion - for the sio
110n at said Conrentkaa.
On sootier: of Dr. Ilethrediess, the report
wan aeeepted °..
,Pending a motion to adopt• the resoinrions
a. a whole, Capt. Finney inquired whether
It would. not be better policy:to thank. Mr.'
Wilmot- for his fidelity, and eel nothing about
Mr. Cowan-leaving him to draw the contrast

`an's course, but he was.also opposed drivir

he bad to rept/WM the State in the Senate
for five years , to come, unless, he would com
init some overt act of tremen. Mr. Fintrey
coiled attention to the matter, as he under
stood that: Mr. Etilia had, a resolution to offer .
The question was called on the adoption el
the report, (exrepting the iilth revitution,)
and the first five, monitions were adopted
Pending a motion to adopt tho Cowan reso
lution, hir. Nevin took the floor and spoke at
tome length on the inexpedtency of,the reso
lution. • lie was:opposed to taking any action.
which might irritate Mr. Cowsui, and cause
him to work against us during his whole term,
but- would • rather, by merely witbhelding
*of:mends:don, leave the door open to his re
turn to fealty with the party. Me, therefore,
offered the following as a substitute for the
sixth ;resolution's

and preservation.

original resolution.'
M. McConnell said Oil. , Ctiwen!•' Corn"e

the sestiments 'which= he. expressed when

Pittsburgh: for safe by, Henry Hiner. lOU
This -- is -- a . book - of-remarkables interest.
Even the most superficial and merest outside
views of Eastern :Lifo and Manners have riff
'fired to make the works of travellers.. in those
lands of legend and song; as eagerly sought
for, by Western readers, as if it . were hoped
that some possible 'Sixibad or Scheherarade
would again arise to mirror a, wonder-world,
_in those yet unknown regione of the orient.
But the.interest of this book is of a diverse
kind—it tears away the veil that has hithiSto
hidden the hareinTlife in eastern lands.- - The i
Princess llelgiojoso hes, had the amplest
opportunities ever to h e fioPad . for, far be
yond what have over before: teen posiessed,
by any European or American traveller, ef
obtaining an inside view of life in the harem.
he has, moreover, need her opportunity to
me purpose, not in the way of throwing a.
false poetic coloring over
.
"—The land, where the cypress and myrtle
Aro emblems of deeds that are done in their dime,
Where the rage of tbe culture, the love of the Ow
tie,
Now melt into sorrow, now madden to minter—
but -in the bettor, truer, and more needed
work of presenting .to
. us the disenchanting
realities which she found in the manifold
phases-of Oriental life which she actually wit
nessed. The Princess, as a writer, has eon.
isidemble descriptive power, and the narrative
of her experiences ,of, travel and intercourse
'with all' clasaes and conditions of men and
women in eastern lands, le graphically given
—with a piquancy, too, which seems the
special gift oY these accomplished women who
have ' written' ' so many , volumes of French
memoirs, letters,
and travels. The interest
of this new book is by no - means confined to a 1
few points—it will be found to have numerous
etamg delineations of eastern manners and
cunt a, in ..a much wider view otitis than
t
could e taken by one mainly intent upon
observing the' jealousy - guarded harems of
li
those lands, and whose eyes ware not equally
as_observant in all other places. . .
Tot. blousons. By Elizabeth Stoddard. ' New
York: Carleton, (Into Rudd tt Carlo•on), ISM:.
Pittsburgh: Henry Miner, Firth street.
This novel, by Mrs. Stoddard, has been
.ushered on the stage amid such a concert of
friendly voices attuned _to praise, that we
feared, the high wrought expectations of most
readers 'would not be realised tolien_the hook
itself would put them to the test. Perhaps it
would have been better to have left the book
more to itself—to make ate own impression on
the public. But when • the accomplished au
theress.-41ready the wife of a poet and the
friend of many more=hed permitted friendly
eyes to explore the secrets of her manuscript,
irwas vain to hipit that they would not praise,
even at the riskof depriving all other readers
of pleasure like:their own—the unannounced
pleasure of finding. a good thing unawares.
The blorgesons ' is a tale of Now England 1
life--aiming rather at the * sterner portraiture
of -possible realities, than that gentle roseate
tinted style of treatment and selection of fair.
featured subjects which best please some ar.
fists. It will doubtless becomewillely popular.

Special Dispatch to the Gazette.
WASUINGTON, June 23.—The tax bill .went
throdgh both houses to-day with a whirl, and
this most important billet the session only
lake the signathre of, the President to become
a law. The bill, as passed, stands preciaely
.as the Senate amended it, except in" sixteen
partidulars, the Committee on Conference
agreeing that the bowie should recede from its-
253 other amendments.
The House and Senate found it utterly Du
posbible to agree on the tax onraatiffealspirits
—the House wanting a very high, and the
Senate a very low tax, and so they dadipro
mieed by levying no tai at all on that article.
Carrot Davis priitested against this feature,
and complained thatit gave a chance to the
Cincinnati dealers to drive out the pure Baur-
Fon whisky, by underselling with drugged
articles manufactured from the rectified spirits.
Senator Sherman protested agaidat allow
ing a drawback on the export of manufactur
ed cotton, and against giving up the direct
tax feature, but would not indulge in opposi
tion now that would tend to defeat the bill.
Tho Senate passed it unanimously.
In the House objection was made to reced
ing (rem- the direst tax, and one member
wanted to insist on that, and put on the
Senate the responsibility of defeating so im
portant a bill through fear of direet . taxation.
"That would do very well to punish the
Senate," said Thad. Stevens, "bat meantime
how would the poor country got along with
out the mean,' of raising the revenue."
Some efforts wore made in the house to
stave off the immediate vote, but foiled, - and
the bill, agreed upon by the CoMmittee of
Conference, was passed, Ben. Wood and ten
ethers only voting against it. •
Ben Wade introduced a bill in the Senate
from the Committee on Territories, providing
for the admission of the new State of West
Virginia.- Stn main features area provision
for: the eleetion of delegates to frames Con
stitaition for the new State, adding the Val
