WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPT
Democratic Nominations.
FOR GOVERNOR,
GEORGE W. 'WOOD WARD,
FOR SUPREME JUDGE,
WALTER. 11. LOWRIE
THE CONVENTION" TO DAY
The Democratic Convention, which
meets in the Ccurt House to-day, has but
little to do, but still we trust to hear of that
little having been done well. The nomina
tions to be made are for Judge of the Dis
trict Court, Sheriff, Clerk of Courts, Treas
urer, Recorder, Register, Commissioner,
Director of the Poor, and five members
of Assembly. Let a good ticket be put
in nomination. There are plenty of first
rate men in the party, who would make
admirable candidates, and we expect the
Convention to put some of them in nomi
nation. We trust that harmony and good
humor will characterize the proceedings,
and that the election in October will tri
umphantly endorse their action.
STUPENDOUS POLITICAL FRAUD
IN CONTEMPLATION.
Under the pretext ot presenting Gen.
Meade a sword, in the name of the Penn
sylvania Reserve Corps, Governor Curtin
and tome of the most desperate politicians
of the State, on Friday last, visited the
Army ot the Potomac, to commence their
operations upon the soldiers, in view of
their being sent home in t)ctober to vote
for his continuance in an office which he
has so shamefully outraged. Among the
patty was the inevitable Forney. He
seems to be always about, like the boys in
New York. When-iver the Union League
in Philadelphia has an interesting demon
stration, he is on hand, fussy as usual ,
when Governor Curtin has a convivial
gathering in Harrisburg, Forney is there
also, while nothing ot the least impor
tance in Washington escapes his personal
supervision and attention. When the
Cabinet meets he is seen snuffling about
the door and keyhole, gathering items out
of which to manufacture editorials similar
to the one he lately published about the
several Governors "being wrapped in the
mantle of profound meditation."
The late visit to General Meade was far
too important an event to be neglected by
one who delights in politicat intrigue; it
was the beginning of an arrangement by
which Curtin expects to be reelected, aid
"honest John" had to be present in order
to make the party complete. We appre
hend, however, that it will be somewhat
difficult for the Administration to send Re
publicans enough from the army of the Po
tomac to:insure the success of their scheme.
A few regiments were sufficient to decide
the contests in Connecticut and New
Hampshire against the Democracy of
those States, but in Pennsylvania, this
fall, it will require halt of the votes of
Gen. Meade's army. Besides, we are not
certain that this sword presentation will
so influence the General who received it,
as to induce him to be a party to Curtin's
intended outrage. If hostilities against
the rebels in Virginia are to be suspended f
in order that the soldiers from Pennsylva
nia may come home to vote, Gen. Meade
will earn for himself everlasting infamy,
if he does not act impartially by letting all
come, regardless of their political convi,••
tione. Should he permit the War Depart
ment to deplete his army iu order to cheat
the people of his native State out of their
suffrages, he will insure for himself an
infamy which will do much to dim the
lustre of his great achievement at Gettys•
burg. if the brave men iu the field are
desirous of returning home to vote, and
it the Administration are anxious that
they should, let us have a fair ballot, and
a‘.l will be satisfied. The powers that be,
however, had better not begin so danger
ous an experiment with the freemen of
Pennsylvania as to insist upon prolonging
their existence by an unfair vote of the
army, There are some few things which
the people will not put up with—one of
them is the usurpation of the ballot-box.
Gov. Curtin, therefore, and his sat of
desperate political gamesters had better
do the fair thing and submit with the best
grace possible to the crushing defeat with
which he is bound to Le overtaken in (1r

HE HAS STOMACH FOR THEM
The sanguinary individual who daily
fills the editorial columns of the Pittsburgh
Gazelle, with small caps, italics, exclama
tion-points and fine latin, yesterday turn
ed his attention to the demolition of the
Governor of New York. Pennsylvania is
not large enough for this soaring genius ;
" he bestrides the narrow world like a col
lossus," and now, after having crushed
-the Supreme Judges of our State, and ut
terly annihilated our candidate for Gover
nor, he goes off in search of other victims,
beginning with the head of the Empire
State. Has this man no pity? His driving
Gen Scott from the head of the Army,
and his subsequent successful tilt against
McClellan, beside his efforts in remov
ing several small try from the ser
vice, because they were not entirely
Abolitionised, ought to satisfy the most
inexorable Abolitionist in America. But
there seems to be no limit to the ferocity
of the person in question. Lie is weighed
down with the weight of his responsibility
and will not cease his efforts through the
Gazette so long as there is a slave "clank
ing in chains." This idea haunts him day
and night, and presses upon his heated
brain, like the pressure of "guilty damned
deeds on sinners minds." We admonish
our contemporary to keep within modera
tion, end in order to assist in calming
hira, we suggest a repernsal of his articles
in relation to Gen. Curtin. The following
elegant extract will do for a beginning,:

More than a year since each Permayivs

circular containing a picture ut a machine
which no one could imagine the rise tn.
but for the description, which informed
us that it was a new weapon to be 11.9 ,, i
against the enemy--one of these machines
with something like eight men Wes to do
moreexecution than a regiment of infantry.
No announcement of its adoption by the
War Department, which prescribes and I ur
nishesarmeto the troops, was made, but our
" excellent Governor," in his anxiety fo r
a job, ordered the Pennsylvania troops to
make requisitions for these machines.
Some regiments were furnished with them
and they were soon left to rot by the road

A Prediction Irtilfired
Henry Laurens was Preside...

he was sent as Minister Htu:and.
hie way he was captured, and imprisoned
in the Tower of London t,-
months. When lord Shelburr- tame
Premier, Laurens was
habeas corpus. and released. Alter he
release he was treated withZ,grFat Liminess
and respect by the British authorities - -
He dined with Lord Shelburne. After
dinner the conversation turned on the sep
aration of the two countries. Lord
borne remarked :
"I am E o rry for your people." "Why
eo :" asked Laurens. "They will 1(.7,e;
the habeas corpus." was the reply.-
"Lose the habeas corpus st,ll !Ay; rens.
"Yes,: said Lord Shell-.rue. We t , or
chased it with centuries el wror:ght y,
and:many years of fighting, nod had it
ecntirrned by at least fifty acts of Parka
merit. All this taught the nati,n viitue
and it is so ingrained into their- ree,!. as
the very foundation 01 their 'airily, that
no man or party will ever dare trample
on it. Your people will pick it in and
attempt to use it; but, havir T , them
nothing, they will not know how to up
predate it. At the first great internal
feud that you have the majority will
trample upon it, and the people will per
mit it to be done, and so will go your lib
erty!"—Publisherl Journal Fleu r! ,
Lauren,y.
It is enough to make the cheek ot every
American tinge with shame, for the rii
glishman's prediction has been yenned,- -
The people have suffered nn Irmo u - dra
tion to disregard the habeas corpus and
trample upon their liberty.
Greek Fire
The Greek fire was used by the Greek
Architect who escaped from the Mahom
medans when they were assailing Con
stantinople. He carried his invention
with him and committed great havoc upon
the enemy with this fire. It was in use
down to the thirteenth century, but its
compoeition.us unknown. Men of science
differ widely in their suppositions respect•
ing its ingredients. Some have conjectur
ed that uaptha was the principal substance
but naptha cannot be made to produce the
(fleets that belonged to the Greek ii:, .
It was used in firing cannon, and riartha
cannot be used in that way. A bout forty
years ago it was announced in the Maga
zine of Discoveries that the recipe for
making Greek fire had been found in an
old Latin manuscript but since that we
have heard nothing more about it.

TO HIM Excellency Abraham Lincoln
Pr.•. Went 01 the United Statea:
r.,thant to the promise of my last
letter, I desire to call your attention VI
some important items of the history of
the tom :cent o: the principle, that all
men are Ly nature equal : for no man can
use a principle safely without studying
how it has been used heretofore and how
It has worked.
Perhaps the ;Irv, place where the thought
is expressed. is to the book eallEd The
Wisdom of Solomon, ch. vv. 1,5, 6.
" 1 myself am a mortal man, like to all,
and the otn3pring of him that was first
made of earth. No King bath any other
beginui:•g of birth : all men have the
same eutrunce into life and the like going
At. 3 the King uses this thought
us MI incentive to pray for that degree of
excir-.11,:me aria wisdom that will tit him
for high station.
Si. Gregory, the second Pope of that
name, and belonging to the eighth century
is cited as saying that ••nature 1110. e. ail
men equal, but by a ;lid di.ipmisation of
God, whose motives are Liddell from us,
he has set some over others according to
their different merits.—
St. Thomas .I. l l,inas, known among the
philosophers of
the angelic dJetor, — atmoun,
riple. hut he very clearly c_ ES
!iicaning only au equality of 1,) ail
the pits cf nature and to live arid grew

sea. I find hie eulogy of it appended ts,
a l a t er work of Dove, ca11 , ,.in , -it s of
Science,.in which the above ideas
are morn fully developed. The same pm,
ciple of natural equality is carried out into
a very similar pelit:cai system by limn
I!ERT SPI, , SPER in his work called St , ciat
Statics, in which are contained the earns
denunciations of all existing governments,
of all authority, and of al; reverence fur
law.
All CoNimo‘i,r and So, rAi ` , T systems
are founded on the same principle, and
generally they allow of no private prop
erty, no rights against the will of the ma
jprity, no husbands, no wives, no children,
all persons and things common, ss with a
herd of bufisloes. It was by this princi
ple that MUNT7F-R, in the sixteenth centu
ry, ;,(1 the Anabaptists to rebel against
all government and law, but that of the
saints; to adopt polygamy; to spurn
the Bible as against their spirit, and
to bring on a war that cost the lives
of over 50,000 people. 831ST CliNi •
(/`;2'M carries the principle further.
and says not only that all men are equal,
but that spirit and matter are equal, be
cause equally divine ; and therefore, that
wisdom and intelligence are no better
than beauty and force,and that all the pas
sions of the neap are holy, and entitled to
full gratification ; and that all restraints
; upon them by marriage and otherwise are
unnatural and illegitimate. It is of course
a - bald , system of license.
Such, sir, are sorne of the pitrlncidons-
C'olldillOn and
of these m,la physical politicians, and they
are a fair nainpie of the whule lot. Noth•

BLOCKADE BURNER LOST
Nrw Yoak, September I,—A dispatch
to the Tribune, dated Washingtoe 31et,
Ad vices have been received at the Treas
ury stating that contrary to all eapecta•
tion, further search on the wreck of the
steamer Ruth has brought to light a por
tion of the Government fends supposed to
have been burned. Packages taken out
were'burned to the depth of an inch and
charred to the centre. In some cases the
denomination can be distinguished. A
special agent will at once be sent on to
take charge of the money so recovered ;
in the meanwhile the agent now there wilt
continue to work with di errs.
Thirty colored refugees from St. Charles
county arrived here to day and reported
to Capt. Johnson. They state that the
rebel officers are busily engaged in con
scripting negroes and hiding them iu the
pines until an opportunity offers to carry
them away. They also report that guns,
swords, pistols, tc., are accumulated
there, having been gathered up on various
battle fields by rebel sympathizers and
forwarded to the rebels of that county, by
whom they are sent to the rebel army.
The following is from the Charleston
Courier :
The attention of housekeepers and ci
lens generally is directed to the notice
recommending that a constant supply of
water be kept on hand to extinguish the
fire of the enemy's incendiary shells ex
ploding in the city. We learn that an or
der is to be issued for all persons posses.
sing cotton to have it removed, promptly,
from the limits of the city, as its presence
during the bombardment from the en
emy's shells is considered dangerous.
A Richmond paper of the 2'oth says:—
l.ieut. Wood arrived in this city yesterday.
He captured the gunboats Reliance and
Satellite and three schooners in the Rap
pahannoi k. The steamers and two of the
schooners he secured, but the other
schooner drew so much water that he could
