B.EPUBL 10 EL Pi CONVENTION.
The Opposition have at length opened the
ball and regularly inaugurated the campaign
for '5B. As we stated yesterday, recreants to
the Democratic party found more favor with
this odds•and-end Convenlion than the old
liners, who were given to understand their
faces wouldn't suit. This unkind behavior
towards men who have labored a lifetime in
opposition to the Democracy will be fearfully
visited npcn the ticket this fall, as it should
be and. always has been, svhere Mere policy
instead Of principle regulates conduct.
The antecedents of Messrs. Read and Fra
zier are well known, and will be properly ap
preciated at the polls. The geographical di
vision of the ticket is very good, both" parties
having selected candidates for Supreme Judge
from Philadelphia, Fayette county claiming
'"both candidates for Canal Commissioner. We
refer our readers to a full report of the pro
ceedings found in this day's paper.
St. Francis Academy, at Loretto.
The annual exhibition of this institution
took - place on Wednesday, 14th inst. There
• were present from fifteen hundred to two
thousand persons, friends of the institution,
and relatives and friends of the students, to
witness the interesting ceremonies, Some
twenty clergyman were also present from va
rious parts of the State, amongst them Very
Rev. E. M'Mahon, Revs. Reynolds, Ferran,
and Ryan, of this city. Prominent amongst
the students who took part in the exercises
were James and Francis M'Devitt, J. Keating,
Ben and Frank Jones, and Syl. Cosgrave, of
this city. About two hundred dollars ,worth
of appropriate books were distributed by the
institution through Very Rev. E. M'Mahon,
and Rev. Pcillird, of Loretto, to the students.
The . character of the whole performance
was in every way highly creditable to the fac-.
ulty and, students. The valedictory, especi-
ally,. commanded our admiration. It was in
matter. and manlier most happily conceived
and deliveied by Thomas Walsh, of Lines,.
ville, Pa. St-. Francis Academy is most ex_
cellently situated for educational purposes,
and while the mind is under the, skillful gui
dance of the teachers, the advantages of pure,
mountain air, promote the physical develop
ment of the students.
uperabnadant Harvest.
The Richmond South warns its readers
against the arts of speculators in commercial
cities, who give glowing accounts of abund
ant harveig; so that the market shall open a
a low prie, an who when they have once
the control of the market, run the prices up
to a high rate. It says from no quarter are
there authentic reports of even an average
crop, and the wheat crop of Virginia is not
within eighty per cent. of the usual produc
tion. The . South., speaking for the agricultu
ral interest, doubtless , exaggerates on that
side as much as the speculators of the East
ern cities do on the other. The exchange
papers we receive froin the agricultural re
gions speak well of the crops. But the last
eight or ten yea- r4s experience proves that we
have no - such superabundance of harvests as
to enable us to feed the world, an idea which
seems a favorite one with public orators when .
expatiating on the growth and reis Kirces of
the country. In fact eve have found it as
much as we could do to feed ourselves, - and
the prices of food ran up inordinately. The
same general cause which inflated prices help.
ed to produce scarcity, for it directed labor
from agriculture to speculative adventure, or
to building railroads, which largely increased
consumption, while it diminished the usual
production. The trtubles of last year have
driven labor back to trie soil, and as the sea
son so far has been propitious, we may ex
pect an average crop at least, if we have no
astonishing superabundance.
The Law at Libel.
A very interesting libel case has just been
tried at Poughkeepsie, N. Y. The - editor of
Ithe Telegraph criticised very severely a Fourth
of July:orator, who had delivered, according
to 'his report, "a mean and contemptible abo
lition harangue." For this and for other un
flattering comments, the editor, being sued,
was cast in a verdict of $4 1 50. This was re
versed by the full bench, and a new trial
granted. On this - second hearing, Judge
Brown, in a
,very able and elaborate charge,
instructed the Jury that the right of editors
of public journals to criticise either prined
publications or extemporaneous speeches was
Clear, and must be sustained by the courts;
that it was necessary, in order to correct pub
lic sentiment ; that in doing this, the editor
had no right to attack the personal or private
ohs:Reid. of the author or speaker, and that,
in so far as the article in question was an at
titik upon the plaintiff(personally, and not a
criticism on hii speecb, it was libellous.—
The Judge, at the same time, told the jury
that they were the exclusive judges of wheth
er or no the article, as a whole, was a libel,
and, if so, what damage the plaintiff sustained
by its publication.
The case excited great attention in the lo
cality where the trial was held, and the jury"
after a trial of three days and an absence of
three hours, found a verdict for the plaintiff
for three cente.
The New Cathella Cathedral.
Archbishop Hughes contemplates erecting
- new , ,,cathedral on Fifth avenue, New York,
which is designed to be a structure of extraor
dinary magnificence, the grandest specimen,
of ecclesiastical architecture on this continent..
The coot will probably exceeth& million of
dollars, and the Archbishop is now engaged,
we believe, in an endeavor to raise the amount.

JULY 16, 1858
PROCEEDINGS
OF THE
UNION STATE CONVENTION.
Reported Fxpressly for the Daily Post
This body assembled in the Hall of the
House of Representatives, at Harrisburg, at
2 o'clock on Wednesday, July 14th. The
morning had been spent in "fixing things,' ,
and the hotels were well crowded with poli%
ticians, delegates and country editors. Simon
Cameron, T4adous Stevens, D. Paul Brown,
Wm. Meredith, and many other politiciane
were busy about.
The Convention was called to order by
David Taggart, of Northumberland,who nomi-
nated lion. Wm. Jessup, of Susquehanna, as
temporary Chairman. lion. Francis Gordan,
of Bedford, was chosen one of the Secreta
ries, and R. Errett, of Allegheny, another,
whereupon, Thomas Wilson, or Allegheny,
objected, alleging that Mr. Errett's seat would
be contested, and, at his own request, Mr.
Errett was excused. Messrs. James Jones,
of Lycoming, was appointed in his place.
A committee of seven on credentials was
appointed.
The list of delegates was then called, dur
ing which, Thomas F. Wilson esverai times
attempted to address the Chair without effect.
Mr. Purvianoe moved that a committee of
one from each Senatorial District be appoint
ed by the District delegation as a committee
on permanent organization.
The Convention then took a recess of fifteen
minutes. The Convention was very fully -at
..
tended.
The delegates from Allegheny county were,
for the Senatorial District, Thos. M. Marshall
and Robert McKnight. The 'Representative
delegates were, John H. Ha / t‘pton, C. B. M.
Smith, Russell Errett,_Georke R. Riddle and
David R. Kuhn.
The Committee on Credentials reported in
favor of the delegates appointed by the Repub
lican Convention in Allegheny, and adverse
to those chosen by the PeoPke's Convention,
so Messrs. Thomas F. Wilsos, , Alex. Callowi
L. 0. Cameron, J. H. Irwin Od GITI.: Suth
erland, who were present, loblcad mad, and
left with the evident determination of doing
something desperate.
After the recess, the Committee to appoint
permanent officers, after an hour and a half's
-wrangle, were said to have agreed upon ft t ,
cers, and a motion was made that a Commit - .
tee of three be appointed to request the other
,Committee to report. It appears' that the vaN
rious isms represented in the Gonvention
clashed on the question of who should be
President. Many were in favor of Ex-Gov
rernor Reeder, but. others thought he was
"too recent an acquisition to the party".to
answer the purpose. The "Anti-' •eders",
had, however, to give in, and the tee
finally repoFted the following perman• : offi
cers
President—A. 11. Reeder, of Northampton
Vice Presidents and S4cretaries to the
number of fifty or sixty were also appointed
from different portions of the State.
Gov. Reeder, upon taking the chair, made
a "spread eagle," speech, and at half past 4
o'clock the Convention was organized nd
ready to proceed to business.
The following ballotings were then made for

After the fourth ballot, a letter from Hon.
Daniel Agnew, bitterly attacking the present
administration, was read and his name was
withdrawn.
After the eighth ballot a motion was made to
adjourn and lost, and also a resolution to ape
point a Committee on Resolutions which was
ruled out of order and the balloting pro
ceeded.
After the ninth ballot, which took place at
half past six o'clock, a motion was made to
adjourn, upon which the yeas and nays were
called and the motion was carried by a vote
of yeas 65, nays 60.
Adjourned till eight o'clock.
EVENING SESSION.
A solution-wasA offered that a committee
of thirteen be appointed to report resolutions.
Seireral amendments were proposed, when
LemkTodd addressed the convention against
the resolution. He thought so many and such
diverse views were represented in this Con
vection that the Committee should at least
consist of one from each Senatorial District.
Judge , Jewett thought it would be impossi
ble to go into all the minutim of little differ-.
ences which existed, they should adopt some
great, broad principles upon which they could
all agree.
Mr. Williamson, of Huntingdon, thought
they should go before the people on a tariff
resolution, and' Anti-Lecompton resolu
tion alone. They' had come here to trample
on minor points and to unite the antagonisti
cal elements of the Opposition. He was for
having a party which had; neither head nor
tail any where else than in the United States:
He was for taking and having a wide expres
sion of sentiment, but all that was necessary
was to pass a resolution to give work to the
laboring man. He was in favor of ,a Com
mittee of the largest kind.
The resolution was amended by making
the Committee consist of ono from each Sen
atorial District to be selected by the delegates
front the districts, as a Committee on Re_salu
tons. 1(
) It was resolved that all resolutions expres
sive of principles be referred to this Commit
tee without debate. ,
The committee were named, and the tenth
ballot was proceeded with an'd resulted as
follows :

Mr. Reed was declared nominated on the

The Convention then took a recess of 10
an hour, which we will improve by a ran:lurk
or two. It was evident from th e a t ia th a t
•
the Black Republican element in the body,
aided by sonic ten or a dozen renegade Demo
crats, controlled the Convention. The straight
Americans had no show. They are growling
terribly—especially the Philadelphians, who
vow retaliation and are especially down on
W. B. Mann, one of the delegation, who is
seeking a Congressional nomination, and
they promise to defeat in his political aspira
tions. The Democrats, many of whom have
been watching die proceedings, are delighted
with the nomination of Read. He istheyond
a doubt the weakest opponent Judge Porter
could have had, and it is pretty geneNly ad.
mitted,hert that Read's n - Onttination ipsures
Judge Porter's election. In parts 'of the
State Judge Porter's prospects are
proving, and many who a few weeks ago care
doubtful, are strong in the Democratic faith,
and the Judge will, beyond a doubt, be rek
taiped bTa large majority in the position
which he at present adorns. -The opposition
is now in the field with a ticket' nominated on
purpose to be beaten. Mr. Read is a free
trader. How will the manufacturel , and
working men of Allegheny county like pat?
A Free Trade candidate upon a professedly,
Tariff ticket, is decidedly good.
The attempt io unite the discordant ele-
I .
ments which oppose the National Democracy
has ben a most complete failure. The nomi
nation of Read, like some of our Allegheny
County nominations, will have to b "apolo
gized for" a great many times beforo'the elec
tion. As we write, the dissatisfaction mani
fests itself in muttered growls all over the
Hall, and if the Committee over the way in
the Sero.te Chamber succeed in making a
platform .- at all, it will be either a pieco of
patch-work which wilt not hang together, or
like Hackett's watch which would'nt go, "'be
kase it had no innards," there will be nothing
in it.
But here it is. The Committee of thirty
three, with Morton McMichael for Chairman,
and John H. Hampton for Secretary, have
labored for two hours and a half, and brought
forth the following mouse.
Mr. McMichael read the resolutions which
were as follows :
This Convention, representing the freemen
of Pennsylvania who are opposed to the lead
•ng meaure of the National Administration,
ost esp c• lly those which seek to stifle the
v/
voi ,- :.• gnore the rights of a largo majori

and are fast driving our Government into ria,

reign right and union of the States and the
liberties of the people must, and shall be pre

2. Protests against the Kansas policy of the

4. Parity of the ballot box to be preserved

While the Committee were out, Judge Jes
sup and Hon. S. A. Purviance addressed the
Convention.
After the resolutions were adopted, Mr.
Flannegan, of Philadelphia, Morton McMi.
chael and others made short addresses, in
which the main object appeared to be to make
it appear that John M. Read was a good
tariff man and to denounce the present ad
ministration.
And thus was inaugurated the "People's
Party," composed of a little of all sorts. God
save the country when such elements shall
gain the ascendency in her councils.

Witnese the Hon. W. H. Lowrie, Esq., Dootor
of Laws, Chief Justice of our said Supreme
Court at Harrisburg, the twenty-first day of
May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and fifty-eight, and of the common
wealth the eighty-second.
[BEAL.] WM. H. MILLER,
Prothonotary of the Middle District.
On the 4th of June this writ was duly serv
ed upon the Commissioners of Allegheny
County. Thos. Williams, Esq. appeared for
the respondents, and Wm. M. Meredith and
Hardin, Esqs,, of Philadelphia, for the
petitioners.
Mr. Williams made a motion to quash the
writ of mandamus, for the following reasons :
1. That the county of Allegheny is a mu
nicipal corporation not located within this
district of the Supreme Court, and that the
claim upon which the said writ is founded, is
a purely local and private one.
2. That the said writ has been issued im
providently, without notice to the respond
ents, and in a way not bonforming to the law
or to the rules or practice of this court.
3. That the claim upon which tho same is
founded, is altogether disputed and denied,
and that no judgment has been recovered or
suit instituted against the said county there
for.
4. That if the Relators has any legal rights
the law has already provided him with a spe
cific legal remedy, which is exclusive in terms
and effect, and is entirely sufficient and abun
dantly adequate for all the purposes of this
case.
Mr. Williams pressed his motion to quash.
and elaborated reasons given above with
great ability and eloquent©. He was replied
to by Mr. Meredith in an eloquent argument,
but, as the speeches of both the gentlemen
were upon matters of law, they would prove
uninteresting if reported at length. Mr. Wil
liams contended that this was not the proper
manner nor the nroper place to initiate pro
ceedings against the county in this matter of
