peimatieal Chairman of the Convention.
Paased nuanimonely.
, .
Vaunt. Barnett and Kerr conducted the
Hon. Charles Shitler to the chair.
The President thanked the delegates for
the compliment they had paid him in ap
pointing him to the chair and pledged
hiattielfito perform the duties as well as
physical and intellectual abilities
ificiuldjallow him. He should depend
upon the delegates to observe the rules
governing auch assemblies, as his knowl-
Adipcof such rules was limited, as he had
not attended o Convention for some years.
He is suffering under a great infirmity, his
viatonbeing nearly gone, and he should
therefore have to depend upon the Vice
presidents in appointing what committees
may be' required. He felt great satisfac-
Itotrand-Pleasure athia advanced age and
fie his intellect becomes feebler and his
Plii*Col , Powell begin to retrograde, to
meet once more a respectable and highly
intelligent delegation of Democrats. The
party has failed heretofore in carrying their
elections through, but that has not been
fiom want of principle but from want of
tipmbers. He hoped yet to see Democracy
triumphant in i 5 priuctptes and that- the
election of candidates would be carried at
the polls at the Vali election. There never
was a period in the history of the nation
when there was such a necessity that the
great principles of the Democratic party
should prevail 'as at present. This at the
present time is the darkest, blackest, most
abolition, most woolly headed, crazy
headed 'county in the State. Democracy
taut retrieve it and now is the time, it
matters not by what name the party may
lie called, whether copperhead or traitors.
By adhering to the organization of the
-party they would adhere to the constitn
tion—"Constitution and Union as the
basis 3f our power" and the Democracy
must restore that same basis.
He considered it no harm in opposing
an administration when it was thought
faulty. It is not considered wrong to turn
out an employee if considered incompe
tent; and there is no more harm in turn
ing out a ministry or administration. "If
that is copperhead, I am one." They
had an enemy to contend with at the South
and another at the North. We must op
pose the South with the fall force of our
army and navy, and the whole power of
the Union. Onr Abolition enemies in the
North must be conquered at the ballot.
box. If there is not strenth enough to do
so, then we must sink under the weight of
the despotism of the Abolition party: must
abandon the Constitution and consent to
be slaves as truly as the colored men down
Smith. They have met to elect a ticket
that shall be honorable to themselves and
a credit to their county.
Nominations for Vice Presidents were
then proceeded with.
William Linn, Thomas Farley, Capt.
Kountz, Thomas Wagoner, Neil O'Don
nell, Thomas Donnelly, A. McFarland
Johnson, and Col. Henry McCullough

Bus NESS Rsvmus.---Our streets now
ttreaent a lively appearance. The pave
ments, particularly on Wood and Liberty
streets, are crowded with every descrip
tion of merdhaudise. The freight depots
are kept busy in receiving and discharg
ing goods, in fact from every indication,
the Fall trade promises to our enterpris
ing merchants, a rich harvest. The only
drawback . they have is the lowness of our
rivers, retarding the Southern trade. We
had hoped that from the late rains, thou
sands of dollars would ride upon the
bosom of the Ohio. The coal boat men
are sadly disappointed, at the result, it
having been mooted, that they would get
from a hundred to a hundred and fifty
dollars a month to New Orleans. Wait a
little longer, a good time is coming,. boys.
ELEcTiox.—The result of the late elec•
tion in the borough of McKeesport is as
follows :
Burgess--John W. Patterson.

Stewart.
Constable--John F. Wolf.

French Drama of the Duke's Signal,
which has attracted such unprecedented
houses for the past three nights, will be
repeated, The whole strength of the
company will appear in it. After which
the screaming farce of "My Son Dianna"
will be produced ; in this Miss Annie
Hyatt, an actress of established reputa
tion, and who was a great favorite last
season, will make her first appearance
this season. Miss Hyatt is an actress of
the Mitchell• Thompson school, and can
not fail to 'lease all who visit Old Drury
to -night.
PERSONAL—LieIat. commander, J. H.
Gillis, of the United States Navy, is in
the city on short leave of absence. He
is in command of the Commodore Morris,
rationed at Yorktown, together with all
the vessels in that vicinity. Lieut. Gil

PEMBERTON'S DEATH
CONTIIADICTE.D.
N*lsts from Washington
&c, &c.
New YORK, Sept. 2.—The following is
President Lincon's letter :
EXECUTIVE MANSLON, WAPIIINCTON,
August 'A,
To Hon. Jas. C. Conklin:
MY DEAR Stu—Your letter inviting me
to attend a mass meeting of unconditional
Union men to be held at the Capital of
Illinois on the ?.d day of September, has
been received. It would be very agreeable
to me thus to meet my old friends at my
old.home, but I cannot just now be absent
from this city so long as a visit there
would require. The meeting is to be of
all those who maintain unconditional de
liotion to the Union, and I am sure that
my old political friends, will thank me for
tendering as I do the nation's gratitude to
those and other noble men whom no par
titian malice or partisan hope can make
false to the national faith. There are
those who are dissatisfied with use. To
such I would say you desire peace and
blame me that you do not have it. But
how are we to attain it There aro but
three conceivable ways—First, to sup
press the rebellion by force of arms. This
lam trying to do. Are you for it? If
you are, so far we agree. If yon are
sot for it, a second way is to give ur
the Union. I am against thin. It
you are you should say so plainly.—
If you are not for force nor yet for disso•
!talon; there only remains some imagina
ble compromise. I do not believe that
any compromise embracing the mainte
nance of the Union is now possible. All
that I learn leads to a decidedly opposite
belief. The strength of the rebellion is
its military, its army, and that army dom•
inates all the country and all the people
within its range. Any offer of terms
made by any man or men, without that
range in opposition to that army. is aim.
ply nothing for the present, because such
man or men have no power whatever to
inforee their side of a compromise it one
is made with them.
To illnstrate, suppose refugees from the
South and peace men of the South met
togetner in convention and proclaim a
compromise embracing a restoration at
the l'nion, in what way can that compro
mise be used to keep General Lee's ar
my out of Pennsylvania 1 :lien.
army can keep General Lee's army out
of Pennsylvania and I think can ultimate
ly drive it out of existence. But no pa
per compromise, to which the controllers
of Gen. Lee's army are not agreed, eau at
all affect that army. In an effort at sn--h
compromise we would waste time whi
the enemy would improve to our dieud
vantag.•, and that would be all. A ;,,to
promise to be effective must be male
ether with those who control the rebel
army or with the people first liberated
t..ciin the dominion of that army by the
success of our army. Now allow me to
intorm you that no
.word or intimation
from the rebel army or from any of the
men in authority in station to any
peace compromise has ever come
t) my knowledge or belief. All
charges and intimations to the con.
trary are deceptive and groundless, and I
promise you that if any such proposition
shall hereafter come it shall not be reject.
ed and kept secret from you. I freely ac
knowledge myself to he a servant of the
people according to the bond of the
service. The United States constitution,
and that as such, 1 am responsible to them.
But to be plain, you are dissatisfied with
me about the negro. Quite likely there is
a difference of opinion between you and
myself upon that subject. I certainly wish
that all men could be free, while you 1
suppose do not. Vet I have not written,
adopted, nor proposed any measure which
is not consistent with your views, which,
provide that you are for the Union. I
suggested, compensated emancipation, to
which you replied that you wished not to
be taxed to buy negroes. But I had not
asked you to be taxed to buy negroes, ex •
cept in such a way as to save you from
greater exaction, to save the Union ex
clusively by other means.

many of the Company were sick with bilious al

I was red ac ed to skin and bone. Among the eona •

to use the Pills, and we were all: cured m: from
two to five days: After this our bays used Bran
