PEOPLE'S STATE TICKET.
FOB AUDITOR GENERAL,
TIIOMAS E. COCIIRAN, of York.
. FOR SCRVEYOB GENERAL,
WILLIAM II. KEIJI, of Berks.
The State Convextiox. We give in an
other column the proceedings of the People's
State Convention, which assembled at Harris
burg on ths Sth inst. We were present our
self, and are free to say that it was not only
one of the "largest, most respectable and in
telligent Conventions that has for many years
assembled in thi3 State, but that its delibera
tions were marked with a degree of good -will,
harmony and enthusiasm that has been rarely
witnessed. Every district was fully represent
ed, many of them by the ablest men in the
party. Although an exciting struggle for the
office of "Auditor General ensued, yet every
thing passed off agreeably, and as soon as the
name of the successful candidate was-an
nounced, the nomination was at once acqui
esced in, and the , motion to make it unani
mous carried without a dissenting voice.
' The candidate lor Auditor General, Thomas
E. Cochran, of York cbnnty, is well known as
a man of fine talents,a good lawyer,and of un
impeachable integrity as an individual, lie
has always been a hard-working 'opponent of
the Sham Democracy, was the Amcrican-Ec
publican candidate for Canal Commissioner in
1856, (at which time, it is thought, he was
cheated out of an election by the frauds per
petrated in Philadelphia,) and is in every re
spect well qualified to discharge the duties of
the office for which he has been nominated,
and to which, beyond all doubt, he will called
by the votes of the people in next October.
Gen. Wm. II. Keim, of Berks county, is the
nominee for Surveyor General. He was elect
ed to Congress for the short term, as the im
mediate successor 'of J. Glancy Jones, over
the regularly nominated-Lecompton candi
date, last fall, lie proved himself true to the
interests of his constituents, and made an a
bie speecn on me a arm question, lie is a
favorite with the workingmen of old Berks,
and will doubtless again carry that Democrat
ic stronghold. His election is sure, and he
will make an honest and efficient officer.
The resolutions are conservative, yet deci
ded, and will, we believe, prove generally sat
isfactory to all the elements of the . party.
They denounce Executive intervention to de
feat the will of the people oppose a slave
code for the territories, the revival of the Af
rican slave trade, and the further extension of
the institution into territory now free advo
cate the encouragement and protection of
Home Productions and American Industry ;
the preservation of the purity and safety of
the ballot-box ; the enactment of laws to pro
tect us against the importation of foreign
criminals ; and regard the defeat of the Home
stead bill by the U. S. Senate, last winter, as
a direct blow at the laboring classes of the
country. They also endorse and approve the
course of Hon. Simon Cameron, and that of
our Representatives in Congress who suppos
ed the protective policy and opposed the ty
rannical course of the NationalAdministration
relative to Kansas; and invite all to assist in re
storing the Government to its purity, and pre
serving the proud heritage of American insti
tutions, transmitted to us by our fathers, com
plete and unimpaired.
With such candidates and such a platform,
success is certain.
FROSTY ITEMS.
We give below a few items from various lo
calities, from which perbons can draw their
own conclusions as to the extent of the da:
age done by the late frost. , $

The Late Fr03t. It is a difficult matter to
determine the exact extent of the damage
done by the frost of the 4th and Sth instant,
but there is no doubt about it being mostly
confined to parts of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and New York. From all the
information we have been able to glean, we
arc satisfied that not over one-third of the ter
ritory of the States named was subjected to
the destructive influence of the frost, and up
on the whole it is doubtful whether the gene
ral average of the wheat crop in the United
States will be materially diminished by this
'calamity," for, while it has destroyed much
of the grain, it has also proved destructive to
the insect enemies of wheat. Moreover, ow
ing to the warm weather in May, the straw bad
attained such a rank growth that there was
reason to fear a loss of the crop by rust, and
where it was not forward enough to be injured
by frost, the check given to the growth will
doubtless be beneficial. It is also trne that
the southern part of the belt of the frost-bitten
region has a great portion of its wheat so
far advanced that frost would not injure it,
while on the northern limit it was stilt too
backward to be greatly endangered. ,- In Geor
gia, Tennessee, and other Southern States,
the grain was ready to narvest when the frost
occurred in fact, samples of new wheat were
in market at that time ; and, unless some new
calamity befalls the farmer, we may reasona
bly hope to yet have a good wheat crop in
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illi
nois, &c. The corn and potatoes are not se
riously injured their growth is only retard
ed aud nearly a fall crop may be anticipated.
We see little use in getting up an excitement
about the matter. Let all keep cool until the
extent of the damage done the crops is ascer
tained, and then adopt audi measures as will
be best calculated to supply any deficiency
that may occur, by using tie coarser grains.,
and by practicing economy. -
great damage has been done to the crops.
They have been harvesting in the southern
part of the State for two weeks, and early va
rieties of cherries are now about ripe in tnis
latitude. . -
The Chicago Press, published in the very
"centre of wheat," savs : "It is thought by J
good judges here that the spring wneat is too
far advanced to be much damaged; but late
winter wheat, in bloom, must be more or less
injured."
- . . mm m m ' It
We don t hear mucn aooui tue irost in me
State of Indiana, from .which we infer . that
there is" not much to complain of. The Indi
anapolis Journal of the 'Jth says that in Foun
tain and Warren counties, and in that region,
no injury was done to the grain crops ; fruit
and potatoes may be injured, and corn, "cut
down" in some localities, but the damage is
comparatively slight. , '- V "
Accounts from Ohio are conflicting .'In the
Muskingum valley, neither wheat, corn or po
tatoes are seriously damaged. In Clark and
Montgomery counties, corn and potatoes are
injured.. In Medina, corn hurt wheat, safe.
In Mahoning, wheat injured. In the vicinity
of Bucyrus, considerable damage. About Ra
venna, wheat injured some, but good prospect
for a fair crop yet. ; In Wayne county, some
wheat Gelds injured fruit nearly destroyed.
Iu the Big Miama Valley, the corn crop in
juredwheat but little." Around Columbus no
damage to wheat. . . .
' The Cleveland Herald says, the line of frost
in Ohio seemed to have been from Lake. to
River, but severest in the centre, and shading
off to the waters each side so that on the bor
ders of these waters the effect was slight. - The
injury was not very serious further than mid
way East and West, in the State..' Unfortu
nately the frost took, in its course, some of
the best wheat portions of Ohio. .
In Pennsylvania, the severe frost was con
Gned to about one-third of the State, embra
cing the western, most of the north-western
and northern counties, and glancing off to
wards the centre of the State. The Southern
and Eastern counties escaped with but little
injury. .. - .
New York. The Syracuse Standard has
heard of no damage to anything in that neigh
borhood.. fThe Auburn Advertiser says the damago is
confined to plants and vegetables.
; The Bioghamton Journal has heard from dif
ferent parts of Broome county, and the reports
are that it has done much injury, especially
to garden vegetables. ,
The Buffalo Express states that all vegeta
bles which frost affects, and fruit of all kinds,
were to all appearances killed.
The Albany Journal says in that vicinity no
serious injury was done. ,
. The Rochester Democrat says the thickness
to which foliage has attained saved fruit gen
erally, but grape vines suffered to a consider
able extent. Cucumbers, young beans and
vegetation of that sort got badly nipped, but
some of them will recover.
In Wyoming county, the winter wheat, it is
feared, is all spoiled. .
In Duchess county, "the frost did very lit
tle damage to wheat and rye none."
In Wayne county, .-'the corn, beans, pota
toes, &c, are killed, but I - don't know that
winter grain is." ;
. An old farmer of Caledonia says "that the
recent frost has not injured the wheat, and he
does net believe that a 31 ay or June irost can
injure that plant. He states that in 1816 thore
was a late Spring frost in his section, by which
the stalks of wheat were , actually frozen, and
the yield from the same Gelds was forty bush
els to the acre ot prime Genessee."
The wheat in Western New York has gener
erally escaped, or if injured, it is but slightly.
The St. Paul, Davenport, and Dubuque pa
pers say, "the frost did no damage there."
The Iowa papers say "the wheat'is all safe.'
The Louisville (Ky.) papers say there were
were some traces of frost there, but not the
slightest damage.
The Newberryport, Massachasetls, Herald
says "in that suction it was severe enough to
nip early beaus, but reports no other damage.
The Lowell Journal says, "the frost appears
to have been quite destructive to tender plants
in many places. -. Corn, beans and other vege
tables, in some instances, were killed.
The Portland (Maine) Argus says it will re
sult disastrously to those two favorite Yankee
esculents, pumpkins and beans.
. In Connecticut and Rhode Island the frost
w&s quite sharp, but we can hear of no dam
age being sustained.
The voluminous reports from Cleveland pa
pers, covering the whole Western Reserve,
Northwest Pennsylvania, Northern and Cen
tral Ohio, and the upper portion of Indiana
are also encouraging. ;

of the 8th, says i "Saturday last was a cold
day for the time of year, and on Saturday
night a heavy-frost visited us, nipping the
beans, tomatoes and other tender things in our
gardens and the corn in most of our corn fields.
Fears are entertained that tho wheat and rye
have not entirely escaped. ; Upon the .vhole,
however, the damage is probably not so great
as to very seriously affect our previous excel
lent prospects of an abundant harvest. In
some neighborhoods the frost was greatly
more destructive than others, and up in the
drafts of the mountain we are told quite thick
ice was made, and the killing complete. '

ground with their engine, and though they
were unable to save the foundry ,thcy undoubt

Mr. Dickey moved that the nomination for
Surveyor General be made unanimous j which
was agreed to... -, - '
Mr. Todd, on behalf of the Committee on
Resolutions, reported the following, viz :
1. That Executive intervention to prostrato
the will of the people, constitutionally ex
pressed, either in the States or Territories, is
a dangerous, element of Federal power, and
that its exercise by the present Chief Magis
trate of the Republic, as well in elections as
upon the Representatives of the people, meets
our decided disapprobation. : .
, 2. That we protest against the sectional and
pro-slavery policy of the National Adminis
tration, as at war with the rights ot tho peo-
j)le and subversive of the principles of our
Government. -
; ,3i That we denounce and will unitcdly.op
posc all attempts to enact a Congressional
Slave code for the Territories, believing the
same to be utterly at war with the true pur
pose of our Government and repugnant to the
moral sense of the nation ; and that we reaf
firm our continued hostility to the extension
of slavery over the Territories of the Union.
, 4. That wo regard all suggestions and pro
positions of every kind,by whomsoever made,
for a revival of the African slave, trade, : as
shocking to the moral sentiments ot the en
lightened portion of mankind ; that any action
on tho part ot the government or people con
niving at or legalizing that horrid and inhu
man traffic, would justly subject the govern
ment and citizens of the United States to the
reproach and execration of all civilized and
christian people ; and that the inaction of the
National Administration in bringing the slave
trader to justice, and its course in sending
such as have been arrested to trial in places
where acquittal was certain, subject it fairly
to the charge of conniving at tho practical
re-opening of that traffic.
. 5. That we hold the encouragement and
protection of home production and American
industry to be one of the first duties of our
government ; and the failure to obtain such
encouragement and protection from the last
Congress, notwithstanding tho professions of
the President, convinces us that the laboring
masses of the free States will ' look in vain
for a tariff for the ' protection of their. labor
while the administration ot the government is
in the hands of the party now in power ; and
that we believe the advalorem system wholly
inadequate to the protection we demand, and
in lieu of it we are in favor of specific duties
upon iron, coal, salt and all such other pro
ducts wholly the growth and manufacture of
tho Uuitcd States. , .
6. That the reckless and profligate extrava
gance of the National Administration, causing
a necessity for continued loaus without any
means provided for their payment, givo evi
dence of a want of that ability and integrity
which should characterize tho Government of
a Free people, and unless checked will lead to
a dishonor of the National credit, .: ; .
' 7. That the passage -of a just Homestead
bill, giving one hundred and sixty acres of
land to-evcry citizen who will settle upon and
improve the same, would , be a measure fair in
principle, sound in policy, and productive of
great good to the people of tho nation. . And
that wo regard the defeat of Mr. Grow's bill
in the Senate of the United . States, by tho
party in power, as a direct blow at the labor
ing classes of tho country, and as unworthy of
the liberality of a great government ; and that
kindred to this was the defeat, by the same
party, of the pre-emption bill which gavo
preference to actual settlers-over land specu
lators. :- -: ' '"! '
8. That the purity and safety of the Ballot
Box must be : preserved,7 and that all frauds
upon the Naturalization laws,which have been
so much resorted to, to promote tho success of
the party we oppose, ought to be counteracted
by wholesome and proper legislation. : .
9. That we approve of .the enactment of
proper laws to protect us from the Introduc
tion of foreign ' criminals in our midst, by re
luming them at once to the places whence
they have been shipped to our shores.
10. We cordially invite all men of all par
ties to join with ns in earnest endeavors to
restore the Government to its original purity,
and to preserve the proud heritage of Ameri
can institutions, transmitted to us by our fath
ers, complete and uuimpaired, to those who
may come after us. T
"111. That this convention do most heartily
approveof and endorse the course pursued by
our able and distinguished Senator, the Hon.
Simon Cameron, and that of our Representa
tives in the popular- branch of Congress who
have zealously supported the protective poli
cy, the homestead bilf, the just rights of ac
tual settlers, and have steadfastly opposed
the tyrannical policy of the National Adminis
tration in their attempts to force upon tbo
people of Kansas a fraudulent slavery consti
tution, in opposition to the known and oft ex
pressed sentiments of the freemen of the
Territory.
Messrs. Kirkpatrick and Edic advocated the
passage of the resolutions, and they were -nanimovsly
adopted.
On motion adjourned sine die with three
.cheers. '
