u u fill MFTlllMPi Raftsman's fmirnat S. B. BOW, EDITOR AND rROFEITTOR. CLE A RFIELD, PA., MARCH 23, 1859. Locoroco STATE COSVEITTIOJr. This body met at TJarrisbcrg on last Wed nesday, to nominate a State ticket, and ''trans act inch other business as might bo brought before it." Over one hundred delegates were in attendance, more than two-thirds of whom happened to be Lecompionifes. Amon; the in were Ybnnd the Collector of the Port at Phila delphia, the Xaval Storekeeper and one of the first Custom House officers, and . other favor ites of the Administration in that city; the Collector of the Port at Erie, the Collector at Pittsburg, Postmasters, ex-Faymasters, ex Canal Commissioners, and "sich like cattle7' in abundance. Senator Bigler, Col. Sam. W. Black, Governor of XebT3ska and special en voy from the President, and other "distin guished" outsiders were also present. With the aid of such friends and operators, it does not surprise us that the resolutions adopted by this Convention approve Mr. Buchanan's Ad ministration his Cuba project with the rest advocate incidental protection to the ircn and coal interests, and sustain the President's views on the Tariff profess to support the doctrine of popular sovereignty are in favor of "an honest (?) and economical (?) scStiuriis tration of the affairs of the Commonwealth" recommend the establishment of an indepen dent treasnry for the safe-keeping of the mo ney of the Commonwealth approve of Sena tor Bigler's course in Congress, and oppose the granting of corporate privileges. A reso lution, approving of the State policy of Gov. Packer, was violently opposed by the Bucha neers, and finally voted down by a large ma jority yeas 7, nays 81. K. L. Wright, of Philadelphia, was nominated for Auditor Gen eral, and John Eowe for Surveyor General. Gov. Packer and Lis administration were not deliberately repudiated and insulted by this Convention, because of the policy adopted in our Sfate affairs. His bitterest enemies in it admitted the Governor's ability, and the general correctness of his conrse; lut still they condemned him, and that was done.on account of bis Aati Lecomptotism. Though we do not like the manner in which Lis iriends tried to obtain even a partial endorsement, we do not see that Gov. Packer has much to lose by being rebuked by a packed convention, the most active spirits of which were federal place and patronage seekers and disappointed ap plicants for the favor of the State Govern- j ment, and whose highest ambition at present seems to be to bolster up the National Admin- j istration, with all its corruptions, its usurpa tions, its extravagances and manifest outrages upon the people and the constitution. That the Governor and his friends cannot remain in and support a party which has derisively driv en them forth, without sacrificing their man hood and the respect of all high-minded and honorable men, is very apparent; and that they will not, is clearly indicated by the fol lowing paragraph from the Stale Sentinel, the Governor's new organ at llarrisbnrgh : 'The next number of our paper will open Bp a new chapter in its history. We have ta ken ofl our coat for the var and intend to car ry it even to the very threshhold of the Le. comsn Camp ! The time-honored principles of Democracy must be preserved ; and the glo rious old fijg of our psrty snatched from the hand of the Traitors who have already well nigh despoiled it of its glory. Let the true National Democracy of Pennsylvania put on the armor and gird up their loins for the great struggle, for it will bo a contest between Right and Error Patriotism and Treason." Pretty plain talk, that, we should siy, and forbodes the certain defeat of tha ticket put ia nomination, at the election in October. Mr. Michael Walsh, a well-known Democrat, was found dead, on the 17th inst., ia the up per part of Xcw York city. lie bad apparent ly fallen down the stone steps of a cellar, but as bis costly gold watch, a heavy gold chain, a diamond ring, and all Lis money, were mis sing, it is evident be was robbed, and in all probability murdered. Mr. Walsh was once a member of Congress, and also of the Legis lature, lie was a radical opponent of teeto talism, and looked upon grog-shops as "the nurseries of Democracy." He was intoxica ted when last seen alive. So savs the Tribune. Quite a disturbance took place, on the 16th inst., at the Elliot street school, in Boston, Massachusetts, in consequence of some three hundred children of Roman Catholic parent age, refusing to join in chanting the Lord's Prayer, and repeating the ten commandments, in conformity with the rules of the public schools of that city. A large number of the scholars were dismissed in consequence. It is alleged that some of the children acted un der the instructions of their parents and the Rev. Mr. Wiget, clergymen of St. Mary's Church the children themselves savin? so. On last Thursday, the 17th, an indictment for murder was found against the lion. Daniel E. Sickles, by the Grand Jury, in Washington City. .Vo proceedings will be taken against Mr. Butterworth. It is said that the trial will disclose an amount of scandal, hitherto un dreamed of, and will bring many new charac ters before the public We doubt whether Sickles will be found guilty, although every body kuows that be did kill Key ; and if Le is, be will in all probability be pardoned by President Buchanan. ' - LETTEB, FBOH HABEISBITEG. Special correspondence of the Raftsman's Journal. Mabch 19, 1853. S. B- Row, Esq.. Dear Sir .- I thought, a day'or two ago you were on my track, sure, when the book-keeper of the Hotel told me that a good looking little fellow with a red shirt on, who looked as if he had come down on a raft, had called to see me. It was a mis take, however, as it was no; you, and I was not the man he was looking for. You are assured that I was mistaken in my views regarding the Farmer's High School. I generally make it a point to inform myself pretty well on subjects I speak of in a loose manner. Please ask your informant whether the contractor for erecting the bnildings'gave bonds for the performance of bis contract at a stipulated price, and if so, how it happens that he was released from the fulfilment of his con tract, after all the available means was handed over to him ? When the proper time arrives you shall hear from me on this subject. If there is anything wrong about the disposition of the funds. appropriated to the institution, let us have it. The public have a right to know. ed. The Pine county project was, much fa my surprise, re-considered on Monday. Still I have no idea that it will pass the Senate, al though it may now go through the Iiousi;. The removal men have renewed their exer tions. Yesterday Senators G azzam and Cress well presented several remonstrances against the measure, while Senator Gregg presented two petitions in favor. Once for all, I say, no bill will be passed this session allowing a vote on the question. I say this whether I give ofience to any of your readers or not. The Democratic Convention which assem bled in this place on Wednesdjy last was, take it as a hole, rather a gay allair. It was most magnificently packed with recipients of Gov ernmental pap, and Custom House "roughs," and Gov. Bigler and Col. 5. W. Biack were sent here from Washington expressly to Ex things. The former it is said brought on res olutions in his breeches pocket. They were intensely Buchanan, and also lauded Senator Bigler, slightly. A resolution endorsing Gov. Packer was voted down by a vote of Si to 37 a proceeding which will defeat the ticket nominated by a terrible majority. Eat then, the primary object of this packed convention was to give aid and comfort to an Administra tion exceedingly "weak in the knees," even by sacrificing a couple of good men like Rich ardson L. Wright and John Kowe. The law of 1819, which exempts 300 worth of property from levy and sale, has within a few years past beeu rendered almost a nullity by a decision of the Supreme Court, which is that a waiver given for a consideration at the time, is legal. Hence no notes are any longer taken in sniali monetary transactions unless the exemption is waived. This works most ruinously for the poor man, who, unable to meet a waived note may have every article in his bouse swept away to satisfy a judgment. A supplement to remedy this, and secure to the family that amount, came up in the Sen ate a week ago, an i is still pending, as follows : Section- I. Be it enacted, 4-c, That the wid ow or children of any decedent entitled to re tain three hundred dollars out of such dece dent's estate by the laws of this Common wealth, and every person entitled to the ex emption provided for ia the act entitled "An act to exempt property to the value of three hundred dollars from levy and sale ou execu tion for distress for rent," approved the ninth day of April, Anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and forty-nine, may elect to retain the same or any purt thereof out of any bank notes, money, stocks, judgments or other in debtedness to such person ; Prorided, That the same shall be taken at its nominal value with out appraisement. Sec. 2. That any person otherwise entitled to the exemption provided for in this act and the act to which this act is a supplement, shall not be deprived thereof in consequence of any contract hereafter made by which the right to claim such exemption may be waiv ed or reduced. Mr. Palmer moved to strike out the proviso in the first section, and insert: "And that in all cases hereafter, when property shall be set apart for the widow and children of any dece dent, the same shall be appraised and set apart to said widow and children by the appraisers of the other personal estate of said decedent.' This was agreed to. To the second section Mr. Palmer moved to add : Providei, That the provisions of ibis sec tion shall not apply to contracts made for the renting of a dwelling house, or for other things necessary for the support and mainte nance of the wife or family of any such person. After a long discussion this was adopted yeas 18, nays 10. This bill will come up again on Monday next, and I have little doubt of its passage. The Committee on divorces have not yet made a report. The minority, however, has. It consi'ts of J. Heron Foster, sotvs, and he has already had bis report published in a Phil adelphia Sunday paper. But it won't do the divorce will be granted at least so I think now, for even law makers are not proof against the entreaties of a pretty woman. Gen. Duff Green's bill was reconsidered yes terday, and I presume in a day or two we shall see the monster turn up like another Sampson, sheared of its powerful strength. The bill incorporating the Cresson and E bensburg Railroad Company was passed final ly yesterday. Oa Thursday Mr. Barley read in place a bill entitled an act to authorize the Tyrone and Clearfield Railroad Co. to borrow money. Also, an act to repeal so much of the act approved May 13, 1S50, as relates to the Glen Hope and Little Bald Eagle Turnpike Co. Having nothing further of locator general importance to communicate, I am Respectfully yours, -Special. At the municipal election held last Friday in Reading, Berks county, Benneville Keim, the People's candidate was elected Mayor by 014 majority, and the other candidates on the same ticket were also elected by handsome majorities.

On Saturday evening, the 5th inst., David Dahle and his "three sons, Joseph K., Amos P., and Christian Dahle, were committed to jail by Justice Bunce, on infoimation of J. Eckabarger, charging them with having caused the death of his son, aged thirteen yesrs, on the '2bth tilt. Dahles, it appears.had been engaged in rolling logs down a "slide" at a saw mill, and Eckabarger's boy having got in the way a log passed over him. crushing him to death. On the one hand, it is alleged to have been accidental, while the friends of the boy charge the act as intention al. The accused were subsequently discharg ed upon giving bail to answer. Yoke Cocxtt. On the evening of March 10th, a Mrs. MTadden of Wrightsville lit a fluid lamp, and in consequence of the top being loose, the fluid in the lamp became ig nited.

The lumbermen have been favored with good freshets, and have succeeded in getting much of their lumber to market. A decidedly rich afTair transpired at the Democratic State Convention last week. Du ring the recess that was taken whilst the Com mittee on Resolutions was absent, several 'dis tinguished Democrats' were called upon for speeches, but as "things wasn't working" as harmoniously as was desired, no one seemed inclined to hold forth. Finally some wag got his eye on a "live Yankee," one Prof. Gard ner, the "New England Soft Sap Man," and called upon him. The Professor responded in a style peculiar to bis class of orators, setting forth to the members of the Convention and the audience generally, the inimitable virtues of his "soft soap,' an article which he says is "manufactured without lye." The Proles sor made a decided hit, and produced much merriment. It is not stated whether the Con vention ordered any of Lis "soft soup" or not, but we presume they didn't, from the fact that their resolutions contain an abundance of the article, though we doubt whether it is, like Gardner's, "manufactured without lie." High Water. The Ohio River at Shawnee town, Illinois, rose on the 4th instant, to with in four feet of the highest stage of water ever known, having submerged the whole town, and driven the inhabitants to the second stories of their dwellings. The streets were navigable for steamboats in almost every part, and the water at the door of the 'Southern lllinoisan,' was over four feet deep. The destruction of property on the Qhio and i ts tributaries, was said to be immense, but no estimate of its amount had as yet been arrived at. Kansas, it would seem, is not jet free from political disturbances. A party of Pro-Slavery men attempted a few days since to break up a Republican meeting in Calhoun county, but were foiled, after a sharp hand-to-hand fight, in which several persons were wounded ne dangerously. Four men Cropps, Gambrill, Corrie and Cyphus who were to have been hung in Bal timoft on the 18th inst., have been respited by Gov. Hicks, their execution being post poned to the 8th of April. The Governor warns them not to expect a further delay.

DEMOCRATIC STATS CONTENTION. . This body met at Harflsburg on Wednesday the 16th March. non.Arnold Plummer acted as permanent chairman. Richardson L. Wright, of Philadelphia, was nominated on first ballot for Auditor General, and John Rowe, of Franklin, was nominated by accla mation for Surveyor General. R. J. LUldeman, G. M. Wharton, G. W. Miller, Jas. L. Gillis, R. E. Mouegan, Levi L. Tate, V. E. Piolctt, G. H. Rolin, S. Jenkins, N. P. Fetterman, R. B. Petrikin, J. B. Beck, J. Hagerman, E. S. Doty, J. Leisenring, were appointed a committee on Resolutions, and made the following report : ' ; Resolved, That the Democracy of Pennsyl vania have unabated and full confidence in the patriotism, integrity and capacity of James Buchanan, the President of the United States, and desiie to sustain his administration from a conviction of his intimate connection of its principles with the best interests of our com mon country. Reiolted, That the complete success achiev ed by James Bucbau&n in amicably settling with Great Britain, iu accordance with the American doctrine, the long mooted question of "the freedom of the suas,". from the sur veillance and annoyance of a maritime police; in quieting the civil broils of Kansas; in promptly And effectually suppressing an armed disaffection aad rebellion of Utah ; in speedi ly terminating the Indian wars which threat ened to desolate the Western frontier; and his resolute efforts to secure for Ameiican trade and travel safe and proper transit routes between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans; to mantain the influence and honor of the nation and to protect the lives, business and property of citizens of the United States in the an archical or illgoverned States of Mexico, Cen- j trHl America and South America, entitled Lim to the esteem, gratitude and confidence of the people of Pennsylvania, aa well as of the whole Lnion. Resolced, That the Democracy of Pennsyl vania have always advocated and still advocate an adequate encouragement and discrimina ting protection of iron and coal and of the in dustrial interests of this State, within the scope of a tarirl for a necessary revenue ; and believing that the revenue accruing froui the existing (arid will be insufficient for the una voidable expenditures of the Federal Govern ment, and that an obstinate adherence to it will result in the accumulation, in time of peace, of a heavy national debt, always dan gerous to the peace, liberty and prosperity ol" a free people ; they now, by their representa tives in this Convention, earnestly invite the people of this State, by a frank and cordial support of, the policy of the first President whom Pennsylvania has given to the Union, to aid and strengthen him m his future en deavors to procure a revision of the tariff act of 1S-j7 by the next Congress, on the princi ples set forth in his last annual message. Resolved, That while an economical adminis tration of the government of the Union is demanded by the whole spirit ol our institu tions, and the best judgment of the people, it is. at the same time, incumbent upon us to sustain the proper dignity of the country at homeand abroad, and not to neglect the prompt supply ofrall necessary means of defence against foreign aggression, and for the asser tion and protection of the rights of all Amer ican citizens everywhere, and especially on this continent. Resolved, That the acquisition of the Island of Cuba by honorable and peacable means, would be of vast importance to the prosperity and security of our whole country; and also advance in an eminent degree the canse of humanity, by its tendency to check the pro gress of the slave trade; and that the propo sition of the President to obtain the posses sion of that Island by a fair purchase from the government of Spain, was a manly and up right step towards the at'ainment of so desir able an object an object which has received the sanction and approval of Jefferson, Madi son, John Q. Adams and Clay, as well as of eminent living statesmen. Rtsolred, That across the Central American Isthmus lies the great highway to our Pacific States, and that we have witnessed, with plea snre and pride, the earnest ofi'orts of the Pres ident to keep them open and make them safe ; in which view he should be seconded by Con gress with the necessary powers to anabl him to insist upon the fulfilment, by the States possessing those territories, of the treaty guaranties which they have given to our citi zens. Rcsolred, That this Convention highly ap prove the course of the Hon. William Bigler, Senator in Congress from this State, and de sire to record their sense of the. ability, con sistency, patriotism and sound national De mocracy which have distinguished his public acts as one of the representatives of Pennsyl vania. Resolved, That the doctrine of popular sov ereignty, which recognizes the right ol the people of the Territories having a sufficient population to organize theirState governments under a constitution with or without slavery as they may severally determine, subject only to the conitution of the United States, and without any control of any department of the Federal Government over that subject, meets with our renewed and continued approbation and snpport. Resolved, That the prosperity of our State can be better and more securely promoted by encouraging the competition of individual capital, skill and in iustiy, than by any grant of corporate privileges and powers to gig intic monopolies. Resolved, That we are in favor of an honest and economical administration of the affairs of this Commonwealth, and until the people are releived from the burden of the enormous debt now hanging over them, we are opposed to any unnecessary expenditures of the public money or any reduction of the present sources of revenue. Resolved, That in view of the difficulties at tendant upon the regulations of a banking system, and of the losses incidental to a de posit of the public moneys, in snch institu tions, the early adoption of an independent Treasury for the safe-keeping of the moneys of the Commonwealth, on the principle of the sub-treasury of the United States, Is recom mended to the Legislature of the State. After the Report was adopted, Mr. Lambcr ton submitted the following additional reso lution : Resolved, That we approve the state policv of Gov. Wm. T. Packer; his exercise of the veto power has been fearless and democratic and his administration of the affairs of our commonwealth, and execution of the laws command our commendation. ' Mr. Lamberton spoke in advocacy of the adoption of this resolution, very palpable signs of opposition to it having been manifes ted. He said he had listened with some de gree of care to the reading or the report, and was amazed at the meaning of the resolutions. He had drawn np his resolution a few minutes before the Committee reported, because he had understood a blow would be dealt at the state Administration by ignoring it. He thought it strange the very acme of madness for the Committee to ostracise the Cover-! nor, those who admire the man, those who believe in his State policy,, and those who commend him for his fearless exercise of the veto power, and wanted to know what would become of the party if they turned their backs upon Gov. Packer. Several others spoke on the question some for and some against it. When the yeayasd nays were called, on the resolution endorsing Got. Packer, it was defeated by the following vote : Yeas Messrs. Africa, Bear, Bell, Beck, Bruce, Brown, Collins. Campbell, Donnelly, Davis, (Montgomery,) Davis. (Northampton.)

The war fever in Europe, at the latest d-ites. seemed to lc on tho increase. In Paris the uneasiness in commercial circles was as prom inent as ever. This greater apprehension is attributable to a belief tiiat the King of Sar dinia has the intenfiou and the power to drag France into hostilities with Austria, and to an opinion that Lord Cowley's misMon to Vienna will not produce any satisfactory result. Meantime, the continental powers were 1-irge- 1 ly increasing their armaments. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. CLOVER SEED ;.0 bushals of Clover Peel tor sale at the store of WM.-1RVIX.
