itiEETEVO OF THE DEHOOLLATIO
STATE COMMITTEE.
Pursuant to the call of the Chairman, the
Demacratic __State Ccruinilttc.. , convened on
Wednesday evening, September 15th, at the
St. Charles Hotel in this city.
The Committee was well attended—a large
number of members from Philadel nhia and
the interior districts of the State, as well as
the West, being present. Many of these gen
tlemen now visit the city for the first time,
and before their departure we hope to show
them some of our large manufactories, and
other things of local interest in our city, that
they may have some little idea of the business
and resources of Pittsburgh,
At the appointed hour (seven o'clock,) the
Committee was called to order by R. Biddle
Roberts, Esq., the Chairman.
The following members were present
DL3t. Dirt.
1. Jno. Hamilton, Jr. 15. W. H. Miller,
N. B. Brown, 20. J. R. Crawford,
Hugh Clark, 24. Jas. P. Barr,
John H. Dohnert, David Lynch,
O. Sam'l L. Young, Jas. A. Gibson,
12. J. Cummings, 25. Hugh M'Kee.
On motion, N. B. Brown, of Philadelphia,
and W. H. Miller, of Harrisburg, were se.
lected as Secretaries of the Committee.
The Convention spent the evening in a free
interchange of opinions relative to the Demo
cratic policy of the State, and the best means
of insuring success at the approaching elec
tion.
On _motion, the Committee adjourned to
meet again at 11 o'clock this morning.
MR. BURKE OA THE TARIFF
We understand that Andrew Burke, Esq.,
our candidate for Congress in the Twenty
first District, in his public speeches, takes
strong ground in favor of a fair and just pro
tection for the producing and manufacturing
interests of Pennsylvania, when the tariff
shall come to be revised next winter, so as to
produce-an amount of revenue adequate to
the necessities of the government. This is
the correct ground far every Democrat in
Pennsylvania to assume, and Mr. Burke will
find, at the assembling of Congress, that the
Administration, headed by a Pennsylvania
President, takes precisely the same views of
the question_with himself.
The subject of a tariff is one which Mr. B.
thoroughly understands, and upon which he
has always, as now, occupied a spund Demo
cratic position, and we are glad to know that
in his popular addresses during the present
campaign, that it is his intention to thorough
ly discuss this important matter. He could
not speak upon a more popular theme, nor
one in which the working men of our State
have a more vital interest, than the tariff.
JUDGE S. W. BLACK.
We saw yesterday a private letter from a
citizen of Nebraska, in which the writer.
speaking of the resignation of Gov. Richard
son, says that the almost universal desire of
the citizens of the Territory is that Judge
Black shall be appointed to succeed him.—
The people are strongly in favor of the selec
tion of a man from among themselves, and
no citizen of the Territory is more popular,
certainly none more competent, than Judge
Black, to direct the destinies of this embryo
State.
DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS.
Under our editorial head will be found an
extended list of appointments for Democratic
meetings throughout the county, as designed
by the County Committee of Correspondence.
Andrew Burke, Esq., and other public speak.
era of known ability will address the people,
and advocate the claims of the Democratic
ticket for the suffrages of - the people.
—The Shelby-County, (Ohio,) Democrat, says
the Ohio corn crop will be an abundant one.
and:thinks that the farmers -who anticipate
optrary re -alt, are more p4red than Burt.
THE CONVENTION.
We publish this morning the proceedings
of the Convention held on Wednesday, upon
a call issued by a number of Democrats who
were dissatisfied with the course pursued by
the regular Democratic nominating Conven
tion held upon the 18th of August. We have
repeatedly told our readers that we did not
approve of the assemblingof this Convention,
inasmuch as we feared that the result would
be injurious, and because it was called con
trary to all the usages of the party. The
right of Democrats to assemble to express
their opinions we hold to be pre-eminent, but
those who would interfere with a regularly
nominated ticket we hold to be disorganizers.
We are most happy to announce that the
meeting of Wednesday has acted as men who
wish the success of the party and of Demo
cratic principles should act. They passed
Democratic resolutions endorsing the National
and State administrations, the State ticket, and
endorsed the county ticket nominated on the
18th of August, as sound Democrats, nrovided
the nominees approve of the platform which
the Convention declared. As this - platform is
a truly Democratic one, we take itfor granted
that the gentlemen composing the county
ticket will be willing and eager to endorse the
doctrines which it sets forth.
We look upon this public meeting of Dem
ocratic delegates as having added to our party
strength. The Democracy owes all its tri.
umphs in times past to a firm adherence to its
usages. The ticket nominated is, as a whole,
as unexceptionable as any which have pre. ,
ceded it, and far superior to the Opposition
ticket. It lacked but one thing—a platform
to stand upon—a truly Democratic platform.
The Convention which nominated the ticket
did not place it upon a broad Democratic plat
form, and in this it went contrary to the
usages of the party, and acted weakly ;----the
body of Democrats which met Wednesday have
given the nominees upon the ticket a declara-
tion of Democratic principles, and this is in
exact accordance with Democratic usages.
We disapproved of calling this Convention,
fearing that some of the perturbed spirits
who il fe_Jt outraged at the sacrifice of their long
cherWed principles by the former Convention
would be difficult to satisfy. Phis has not
been the case. They have spoken and acted
like true Democrats—endorsed the proceed
ings of the nominating Convention so far as
they wore consistent with Democratic usages,
and where they were inconsistent, have healed
the wound. The mongrel forces of the Oppo
sition are greatly disheartened at the result of
Wednesday's proceedings. They had hoped
for discord in the Democratic ranks. They
have been disappointed.
The Grain Trade of Chicago
The receipts at Chicago, during the last
week, have been 15,987 bias. flour, 362,255
bus. wheat, 337,438 bus. corn, and 33,852 bus.
oats, making 813,480 bushels of grain. The
total receipts of this season are now 313,058
bbls. flour, 7,372,859 bus. wheat, 6,784,977
bus. corn and 1,820,763 bus, oats, waking a
total of over seventeen millions of bushels of
grain, namely-17,543,889 bushels.
ME Philadelphia Evening Argus is, we Les
lieve, the oldest, as it. certainly is one of the
best, Democratic journals in that city. Fur
some time past, fur what cause we know not,
it has absented itself from our exchange list.
Yesterday it came back, clothed in a nea
new dress, and tilled with excellent reading
We welcome it again to our sanctum.
THE KANSAS ISSUE SETTLED.
An election of members of the Territorial
Legislature takes place in Kansas on the first
Monday in next month. The Legislature to
be elected, will meet on the first Monday in
January. The body, it is expected, will call
a Convention for the formation of a State
Constitution. In no event could such Con
vention Le elected, convened, and finish its
work, and the Constitution framed by it be
voted upon by the people, within two months
after the meeting of the Legislature, or, in
other words, before the third of March, when
U. S. Congress, now in being, will cease to
exist. Hence it follows that no application
from the Territory of Kansas for admission
into the Union as a State, can be made before
the meeting of the Thirty-sixth Congress.—
The Kansas controversy has- therefore been
effectually quieted by the English compromise,
and put out of the way of obstructing the
business of Congress next winter. When
the subject again presents itself, there will
exist no questiOn upon the policy of admis
sion. All parties will unite in welcoming
Kansas into the Union.
Allegheny Oity Bonds.
Three of the municipal bonds of Allegheny
city for one thousand dollars each, were sold
at the Merchants' Exchange, Philadelphia, on
Monday; two at seven hundred and fifty do':
lars, and one " after board " at eight hundred
dollars. The interest on the regular munici
pal issues of our sister city is always prompt
ly paid and there could not be a safer invest
ment than these bonds. Those who purchase
them at these prices are making a speculation.
Philadelphia ()tittle Alarket
The arrival of beeves for the last week
have been very large, amounting to over 200 U
head. The want of pasture in all the cattle
growing districts has had a tendency to till
our market with an unusual supply—conse
quently the price has been reduced to a very
low figure, compared with the sales for sev
eral years past. This state of things causes
a great deal of grumbling among the Drovers,
must of them alleging that their losses are
very heavy. One Drover states that he lost
$7OO on the sale of eighty head of cattle, as
he realized but $7 , 4 per hundred lbs. on the
best beeves in the drove. The sales show a
still further decline—large numbers of cat
tle having been sold as low as $6 per 100 lbs.,
and none were disposed of at a greater price
than $B. The Sheep market was quite lively
and all offered (6500) were sold at from to $4
each, according to quality. There is no
change in the Cow market, 250 head having
been sold at former prices.
Illinois Poll tics
Judge Breese, of Illinois, publishes a letter
in the Missouri Republican on the subject of
Illinois politics. He denies that he is not a
candidate for the Senate, and also the asser
tion that ho supports Judge Douglas. He
likewise denounces - all conspirators and dis.
organizers against the honor and integrity of
- the Democratic party, and says he will follow
that party and no single person.
THE New York Commercial Advertiser, for
merly Old-Line Whig, and latterly American,
b s come out in favor of the Republican nomi
nees. Its reasons for thus turning its back
upon the American nominees is not that it
does not consider them as good men as those
put forward by the Republicans, but that they
stand a better chance of election. If this is
its only reason the Commercial should have
waited and come out for the Democratic nomi
nees, for manifestly "they stand a better
chance of election" than either the Republi"
eau pr American ticket.
NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVEN-
In pursuance of a call signed by a number
of Democrats who were not satisfied with the
regular Nominating Convention of the 18th
of August, in refusing to adopt a platform of
Democratic principles according to the cus
tomary usages of the party in this coun
ty, and refusing to refer in any manner what
ever to the general policy of either the pres
ent Democratic State or National:administra
tions, delegates elected on Saturday the 11th
inst., assembled in County convention on
Wednesday the 15th, in the Supreme Court
Room.
At eleven o'clock, R. H. Kerr, Esq., nom
inated John P. Glass, Esq., of the Fifth Ward,
as Chairman of the Convention, who was
unanimously elected. On taking the Chair,
Mr. Glass stated that the object of the meet•
ing was to vindicate the time honored princi
ples of the Democracy, to purge it of the
charge of repudiation, and remedy the refusal
of the late County Convention to endorse the
State and National administration.
James Patton Jr., of the Third Ward, Alle_
gheny, and W. B. Barroll, of the Second Ward ,
Pittsburgh, were elected Vice Presidents, and
John S. Murray of South Pittsburgh, and Ed
win J. Roberts, of the Third Ward, Allegheny,
were appointed Secretaries.
On motion of Mr. Kerr, a committee of
five to draft resolutions expressive of the
sense of the honest Democracy of the county,
was appointed by the Chair, consisting of
R. H. Rerr, Charles Barnett, William Has
litt, Joseph Birmingham and Alexander
Hays
On motion the Convention then adjourned
until two o'clock, and delegates were requested
to hand in their names to the Secretaries du-
ring the recess

to--Janos Hamilton,
R. 11. Kerr, Esq., Chairman of the Com
mittee on Resolutions, read the following
preamble and resolutions, stating that he be
lieved them to he the expression of the lion.
eat Democracy, who had never combined with
any other party, Anti Masonic, Wing or Know
Nothing. For himself, he would say that
when the railroad subscriptions were first
briached, lie entered his protest against them,
and that ho had never signed his name to nay
paper in favor of a railroad subscription :
Resolved, That the Convention called by the
action of the Democratic County Committee of
Correspondence, assefiAled in August, preseitt;:d
a ticket disregarding "every principle of Demo
cratic sentiment, contrary to the usages of the
party and without precedent—therefore we can
not recognize the power or authority in such to
trample under foot our time-honored principles,
nor will we submit to such imperial dictation that
the cherished princip'es of Democratic faith shall
be set aside for any new issue, for the more ele
vation of men to place and power, which they
fear to reach by an honest adherence to sound
Democratic principles publicly expressed and
declared.
Resolved, That Democratic sentiments should
never be overlooked or disregarded for sordid
gain, and we now, as express - ed heretofore, do..
Clare ourselves in opposition to any tax, either
for railroad or other purposes, which law will
not properly sanction; we, therefore, pledge
ourselves anew to resist the payment of the in
terest on the county bonds, until such time as
the law of the land declares it legal and right.
Resolved, That we are in favor of a modifica
tion of the preaant tariff law, with incidental
protection to our own manufacturers, which will
secure ample, employment for our people. A
tariff on the basis recommended by the patriotic
Jackson would at this time suit all purposes,
and keep the trade :n favor of American 'tided
try. Every principle of justice and economy
demand this.
Resolved, That in President Buchanan we can
recognize the wise and pure statesuimi ; the
public affairs, both foreign and domestic, fully
attest his ability as a pure American patriot.
Resolved, That Gov. Packer meets ourwaruiest
approbation for the fearless and energetic manner
in which he administers the affairs of State,
and shows that we are best governed when a
Democrat holds power.
Resolved, That in Vice President Breckinridge,
whose eloquence, strict integrity f character
and sound patriotism, fully qualifies him for any
position of life, the Democracy of the nation
feel proud of the gallant 8011 C I )! , i K uLucky.
Rcsolr•ed, 'That men who tear to express their
belief in the principles of the Democratic party
should not hold office from those they would
seek to defame—as it is more manly to reject
than betray.
Resolved, That the establishment of a Work
House—where vagrants and others committed
for petty offences may be put at work, in place of
sending them to jail, where idleness and vice ::re
supported at the expense of the tax payers Of
the county—this reform is demanded by the
enormous sums yearly drawn from the county
Treasury by the sheriff and caters, taking
charge of city cffenders.
h'esolved, That we feel warranted In expressing
ILO opinion that no place in the West combines
more inducements for establishing, the ooti , ero
plated Armory than Pittsburgh. Desk ia(x
-hauBlible, rivers and railrea,is, the latter from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, inviting travel end
easy transportation of troops and munitions of
war all over our extended country.
Resolved, That the Democracy of the county
feel deeply indebted to Judge Wilkins for the faith%
ful manner he represented them in every position
which was entrusted to him. Hie long and
varied services to the party eminently entitle
him to our warmest gratitude.
Resolved, That we respond to the nomination
of Mr. Graham, of Butler county, and will give
htm our most cordial enpport, knowing him to
be a true minded man and a good Democrat.
Reao/red, That the State nominees are worthy
of the support of all Democrats, and we urge
upon the Democracy of the State to give them a
Jackson majority.
The gentleman said we had beard a great
deal of clamor about the bonds of this county,
but we forget the immense expense imposed
by city offenders on the people of the county.
He advocated the building of a workhouse.—
On this subject the former Convention had
been silent. A protective tariff was neces.
sary to the interests of Pennsylvania, but
hero they had also been silent. He was also
in favor of a national folindrylliere,which was
another subject not touohed upon by the late
Convention.
He went on to say, with regard to the anti
tax matter, he was not ashamed to adniit that
he had a pocketful of free tickets on railroads,
on which he would ride all over the country_
He did not think it necessary, because he
rode in Tom Williams' carriage, or because
he offered him a good dinner, which ho was
not likely to;do, as he did not often take such
fits cf.:liberality, that he_ehould vote for him.
He thought it would take all the yeast in
f. l limpboll's brewery to send Mr. Willinras to
Congress. For ono, ho did not wish to have+
Mr. Williams imposed upon him, and he
should not have his vote; the Democracy can
not be bought and sold that way. If he gives
in his adherance to the Democratic faith, we
will take him in as the Methodists do, on pro
bation.
He then spoke of Mr. Forney's course in
denouncing President Buchanan, stating that
he had published an article, in which he said
he hoped Pennsylvania would roll up a ma
jority of forty thousand against the Adminis'.
tration.
Dr. Zd'Cook—lt is not true ; you slander
Mr. Forney
Mr. Kerr—lt is true, and loan prove it; I
never say an . ythingthat I am not abfe to sub.
Stan tiate
And then, producing a copy of the Press,
he read the article containing the language
charged. tic concluded lis remarks by say
ing that he was here to advocate the princia
pies of the Democratic faith. The Democratic
flag had been draped in crape ; but he hoped
soon to see it, notwithstanding the traitors in
the camp, waving as proudly as before.
The speaker then referred to the repudias
tion resolutions passed at the last Conven
tion, arid held that a great majority of those
who advocated them were not sincere in their
support, and acted from interested motives.
Ile handled the Know Nothings without
gloves, and in recommending the resolutions
to the lionventluri, said they contained the
spirit of JacksoU, who would have said of the
Know Nothing, " By the Eternal, these are
traitors." lie contended that Jackson was
an Irishman, born in Kilkenny, of which fact
he had ample proof. He kept the Convention
in a good humor for some time and eat down
amid cheer.
Mr. Umbstac tter rose to second the resolu
tions. lie said this was the first time he had
ever appeared in a political Convention. He
had bee❑ a candidate before them, but had
never taken any part in their proceedings.
Lie appeared here now from a sense of duty,
and he desired to respond to these resolutions.
A few days since he had observed his name
announced as a delegate to this Convention,
and at that time his abhorrence to political
discussions had prompted him to decline serv
ing, but a strung feeling bad induced him to
1,0 present on this occasion.
In August last a Democratic Convention
met in this rwitn, and umhrtouk to dictate to
me culicPttling my Democratic belief', which I
have followed for many years, and made a
new issue to which I must submit. I can not
submit to this dictation.
The charge that we are disorganizers is
untrue, and without the least foundation. Our
object is to re affirm the resolutions offered by
an eminent statesman, and rejected in the
former Convention. We meet here to rebuke
the inantier and spirit with which gentle
men of very long standing in the Democratic
party were treated in that Convention. The
Democratic party is of long standing, and no
set of individuals have a right to change one
plank in its platform, and no State or Coun•
ty Convention has a right to ignore one of
its time honored principles.
I du nut believe I should be ostracised, be
cause I think these railroad bonds ought to
be paid, which I boldly assert is my honest
belief. The question is one of a local char
acter, and purely so ; wo have each a right
to our own position and opinions on the ques
tion, and the privilege of maintaining them.
Those who have set down the principal
movers in this Convention, as disorganizers;
are very widely mistaken. Our object is nut
to disorganize, but to harmonize. As I un.
derstand the object of the Convention, it is to
pass resolutions endorsing the State and Na
tional administrations, a duty neglected by
the former Convention.
I intend to vote fur the Democratic candiN
dates, because they are Democrats, nominal
ted by a Democratic body. Yet I think I
can vote fur them without endorsing the
platform upon which they were placed by
the Convention nominating them. In voting
for them, I wish it distinctly understood that
I do not endorse the platform they stand on.
I consider the Democratic party national
and conservative, and I believe that without
its influence the Union could not stand. I
shall vote for any ticket nominated by any
Democratic Convention, even though the per
sons placed i❑ nomination are individually or
personally obnoxious tome. Yet, at the same
time, I protest against the one•idea resolutions
passed in the August Convention going forth
as the sentiments of the Democratic party. 1
signed a protest a few days since, along with
a number of Prominent Democrats, and I am
not ashamed of it. It speaks the truth, and
is the true sentiment of the Democratic party.
I believe that sooner or later its spirit and
principles will be approved by the entire
Democracy if the country.
As to the charge made against us of a de
sire to disorganiA, I do not admit the right
of any Convention to make a platform, the
sentiments expressed in which you and I must
adopt as our political; creed, whether they
agree with our views or not.
In conclusion, I heartily second these reso
lutions. I think they should be placed along
side of the protest of the Democracy and
blazoned forth as the true principles of the
honest Democracy. lam not an office seeker,
and would not take an office if tendered to
me, but I um, if I may call myself such, a
private Democrat, and in that humble capaci
ty these are my sentiments.
The resolutions were then put to vote.and
unanimously adopted.
Capt. William Haslitt then moved that a
committee of five be appointed to interrogate
the candidates on the regularly nominated
ticket, and in case they refuse to stand on
the platform just adopted, to strike off their
names and substitute others.
Mr. Umbstaetter could not see the utility of
such a resolution. These candidates could
not be expected to subscribe to our platfor m .
They had already pledged themselves to a
certain line of policy. He thought there
was a better plan, and would pursue it. He
would vote for these men as Democrats, to use
a common phrase, he would "go it blind."—
Ile believed the result of this resolution
would be to play into the hands of our ens
mies --the very shoal we wish to avoid. 1 A
bad Democrat is far superior to a good Re
publican. Other issues will come up in time,
on which they must remain uninstructed. It
is therefore better to depend on the Democracy
of these men. By propounding questions to
them, you simply weaken the ticket. Let
them be elected as Democrats, and we will
depend ott their integrity, honesty and judg.
ment.
P_tto-a ,n
Mr. Kerr thought the resolution offered
would obviate all difficulty. •If the Demo
cratic ticket nominated by the August Conven
tion would not adopt the platform here laid

seats, when Elijah F. Purdy's name was called
his seat was contested, when Mr. Purdy exclaim
ed, " Let me see the man who contests it." Fer
nando Wood replied: "I have the floor and will
yield to uo man. " No contestant appeared ; the
other contested seats were settled, and the
Convention proceeded to a choice of a President,
when Horatio Seymour was elected amid much
enthusiasm. He addressed the Convention in a
speech of great length. A long debate occurred
on a motion to admit one,half of each of the two
lists of delegates from New York olty.
Mr. Purdy made a motion to refer the queer
tion to tho committee on contested seats. The
debate was renewed on this motion, and was at
the time quite exciting. The motion to refer
finally prevailed, by a vote of di to 28. Fer
nando Wood moved for a call of the absentees,
but was called to order by Emanuel Hart, on the
ground that E [-Mayor was not a member of the
convention.

Battle Between the United States Troops
and the NavaJo Indians
ST. Lours, September I5.—A dispatch from
Independence, dated the 12th, per the United
States Express Company to Booneville, says that
the New Mexico mails, with dates to the 23rd
ultimo, had arrived. Captain M'Lean, who
reached Santa Fe on the 20th, reported that
there were no doubts of an Indian battle having
been fought between the command of Major
Brooks and the Navajo Indians. The Indians,
heretofore, declared that they would not fight ;
and in case of their refusal, Major Brooks in
tended burning and destroying their wheat and
corn-fields, which, if done, wouid doubtless
cause a collision between them and the troops.
The Indians have offered Major Brooks several
thousand sheep and one thousand ponies, to in
demnify him for the loss of his negro servant.
The Santa Fe Gazette, in a long article, attempts
to justify the Indians in their conduct.
Colonel Sumner's command passed at Walnut
creek, moving slowly.
No Indians were seen on the plains. The
grass was still good.

Fever and Ague I
A Case of liriyhl Months' Standing Cured by
Bcerhaoe's Holland Bitters.
Michael Kelly, No. 117 Seventh, near Urant street,
Pittsburgh, says :
"Last July, while running on the river, on a cot
ton boat plying between Natchez and New Orleans,
I was taken with Fever and Ague. For eight long
months I suffered with this dreadful disease. The
greater part of this time I was unable to work, and
spent at least fifty dollars for different medicines,
but found no permanent relief. Three weeks ago,
one of my friends insisted upon my trying Ecerhave's
Holland Bitters, saying that a cure was guaranteed.
After taking it for one week, I must say I was a
sound man. I have been at work now for me weeks
and have had no return of the CMIls or Fever what
ever."
I certify that the above statement is true.
