SIMON CAMERON, 6uBjcct to the decision of the Chicago Convention FOB GOVERNOR, HON. ANDRE W G. CURTIN. DEMOCRACY AND SECTIONALISM. When Wm.H. Seward, a few jears ago, declared thai there was an "irrepressible conflict" between Freedom and Slavery, Democratic editors and or ators, all over the country, made a great ado about the "treasonable dogma," and while pronouncing it false, asserted that it was mere Black Republi can ism as contradistinguished from pure Democ racy. They also contended that the Republican was a sectional party that its success depended eolely on the agitation of the slavery question- that, on the other hand, the Democratic party was a JSational organization, opposed to the agitation of that question, and desirous of protecting the South in what they are pleased to call her fights. These assumptions, at lenst those relating to their own party, we think, the Democracy have them selves, by the action of their Convention at Charles ton, clearly disproved. They have practically de monstrated that there is an "irrepressible conflict" between the North and South in their own party ; that sectionalism prevails, in the rankest form, in their midst; that there is a lack of sincerity in the professions of friendship tor Southern rights that have been so frequently made by Democratic poli ticians at the North ; and that, at least on one im portant occasion, they have teen guilty of agita ting the "vexed question." The truth is, . that heretofore the Northern wing of the Democracy have always succumbed to the South made con cession after concession, in order to secure the suc cees or the party and the spoils of office, until at last, knowing that with a slave-code plank in their platform defeat would be certain, they found them selves compelled to resist her extreme demands ; oadoing which, the South flies into a passion, re forts to her usual game of menace, and finally a large number of her delegates withdraw from the rv ... uuvenuon, ana lorce it to adjourn, after a ten days' session,' without transacting the principal business for which it had convened. This, we believe, is the first time in the history of politics in thw country, that s National Con vention has met for the purpose of making a nom ination and adjourned without making it. Every other Convention that ever met had suflicient courage to face the music and do what it was sent Jo do. The act is without a precedent, and noth ing but the fact that the party is reduced to the straits of a sad necessity, could justify it. No par ty ever before Jelt itself at onco so weak and so cowardly as this aet shows the Democratic party to be. It may le good generalship, under the circumstances ; but it is the generalship begotten of deep- despair.' It throws upon the Chicago Convention, which meets this day a-week, the ne cessity of taking the initiative in the Presidential campaign. -All that it has to do is to make proper nominations, and adopt a platform fully up with the advanced public sentiment of tho day, and we have no doubt about tha success of its nomi nees at the election in November. . Philadelphia Election. The municipal elec tion took place in Philadelphia on the 1st inst., and resulted in tho choice of the candidates of the Feople's Party. The full . official vote is nearly seventy-one thousand. The vote for Mayor stood : Henry, Peo., 36,656; Robbins, Dem., 33,681 Hen ry's majority, 971. Lex, People's candidate for fcolicitor, had 1439 maj ; Hamm, do. for Receiver of Taxed, had 1109 maj.: and Houseman, do. for Commissioner, had 1702 maj. Hufty. . Teo., is c lected Controller, by 132 maj.. When we take into consideration that of late years it has been almost impossible to re-elect a Mayor in Philadelphia, the success of Mayor Henry Is a greater victory than might at first appear. We have been frequently asked how Hon. John Covodeoame to have the soubriquet, "(Jlory-to-God," attached to his name. He is charged, but whether correctly or not we cannot say, with hav ing telegraphed to a friend, when the protracted contest for the Speakership in 1856 wag ended. "Glory to God, Banks is ejected." Bo this as it may, there is no man in the country whom Demo cratic editors and politicians hate so much as John Covode, since he is bringing to light the wholcsalo corruptions of the Buchanan Administration. To-day the so called '-Constitutional Union Con---rention" meets at Baltimore There are some good men in the movement, who are possibly ac tuated by good motives. We, therefore, withhold comments until we see the result of its delibera tions, only premising that we can think of noth ing that a third party can accomplish except, per haps, injure the prospects of electing a candidate for the Presidency who is opposed to the party which is now misruling the country. The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Tri bune, under date of May 4th, says : "Southern Senators have determined to manage if possible so as to keep Kansas out of the Union till after the Presidential election, lest her vote might exercise controlling influence in" case the choice should come to the House. Her admission would make eighteen States necessary to choose.' The Homestead Bill. The Grow Homestead Bill, which passed the House several weeks since, has been defeated in the Senate by a vote of 22 to 26. Every Republican Senator voted for it. The Senate will probably pass the Johnson bill, which is little mere than an apology for a homestead bill, but whether the House will accept of it or not, is another question. It seems, from intelligence received by the Can ada which arrived last Friday, that Ueenan and Sayers are to fight again. The day is to be fixed to soon as a surgeon's opinion shall have deter mined when the injured arm of the British pugi list will probably be ready for use again. ;' c , m m l fien. John Patton, of Curwensvills, is one of the Delegates to the Chicago Convention. . DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. No Nomination Made. . In our last we gave a brief outline of the proceedings until Monday. After the rejec tion of Mr. Butler's substitute, the minority or Douglas report, was next in order. When this came to be acted on, the excitement in creased. An hour or more wad spent in dis cussing points of order, but finally a vote was taken upon substituting the minority for the majority platform, which was carried, the vote standing 165 yeas to 138 nays. The question recurring on the adoption of the minority platform, Mr. Asche, of North Carolina, said if the minority report was adopted, he would be compelled to abandon' the Convention, and disconnect himself from the Democratic party Mr. Asche's remarks elicited cheers from the South. Several gentlemen attempted to speak, but could not be heard for the uproar. Mr. Butler demanded that the question should be taken on the resolution affirming the Cin cinnati platform.. This was agreed to and the Cincinnati platform adopted by a vote of 233 to 90. . When Mississippi was called, Mr Glenn arose and voted no, declaring that Mis sissippi believed the Cincinnati platform, as explained North and South, was an unqualified swindle. His voice was drowned in cries of order. A motion was then made to lay the balance of the report on the table, which was lost by a vote of 81 to 183, Alabama, Missis sippi and Florida declining to vote. The bal ance of the resolutions were then adopted se parately, Mississippi, Louisiana,Texas, Florida, Alabama and three of the Arkansas delegations declining to vote. A motion was made to recon sider, but the floor was yielded to Mr. Walker, of Alabama, who read a statement and protest, signed by the delegation of that State, giving their reasons for withdrawing from the Con vention. The Alabama delegation rose to de part, when Mr. Barry said the Mississippi de legation had authorized him to state that they would also withdraw. The Louisiana, South Carolina, Texas, Florida, Arkansas, and por tions of the Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, and North Carolina delegations then also withdrew. Mr. Glenn, of Mississip pi, delivered, on behalf of that State, a power ful and exciting address, telling the delegates that in less than sixty days they will see a un ited South acting in concert. (Deafening ap plause ; the galleries joining.) The time will come when you will want us ! He concluded by giving notice that all who sympathize with the retiring States will meet at St.Andrew's Hall that evening. The Delaware delegates after wards also left the Convent ion. It was then suz- gested that, in orderto give the delegates time to consult, the Convention adjourn until tho next morning, which was agreed to, after a continous session of eight hours. Before the hour of assembling on Tuesday, tho hall was densely crowded. The whole forenoon was spent in talk, delegations from different sections explaining their position and declaring their determination to stick to the party in this their time of trial. Mr. Howard, of Tennessee, offered a resolution sustaining the Dred Scott Decision, and requiring a two thirds vote to nominate a candidate. The latter was carried. The other was lost. Dur ing the afternoon, the Convention proceeded to take a ballot for President, which resulted as follows: Douglas 145 J, Guthrie 36, Dickin son 7, Lane 6, Hunter 45, Davis 1, Toucey 2, Pierce 1, Johnson 12. Eleven more ballots were taken up to the hour of adjournment, Douglas having raised to 150 1, Guthrie 39 J and Hunter come down to 38. The seceders, in the meantime, convened in another part of the city, selected officers, but concluded to await the result of the regular Convention be fore they determined what course they would pursue if Douglas was nominated, they would nominate a candidate of their own. On Wednesday the balloting was renewed by the regular Convention, and continued un til fifty-seven had been taken. On the fifty seventh ballot Douglas had 151 1, Hunter 16, and Guthrie 65. In the evening, a motion was made that the Convention adjourn to meet at Baltimore in June.' The motion was receiv ed, but not finally acted on until Thursday morning, when it passed in the following shape : ' Resolved, That when this Convention ad journs to-day it will be to meet in Baltimore, on Monday the 18th day of June, in order to afford States that are not represented, an op portunity to fill up their delegations. Tho resolution was adopted by a vote of 195 yeas to 55 nays. So the Democratic National Convention, without making a nomination, adjourned after a ten days' session, in order to arrange their differences, and agree upon some terms of compromise, if that be possible. The Howard (Indiana) Tribune says : One day last week, Levi Sizelove, a resident of tho eastern part of this county, chopped down a tree. After it had fallen, he stepped upon the trunk and walked out toward the top. He discovered something writhing, and slowly ap proached it, thinking the tree bad lallcn upon a pig. What must have been his feelings when ho discovered that it was his own six year old girl f There was his child, its head almost cut entirely apart, one of its eyes lying on its breast! The lower extremities still moved, but life had, thus been horribly taken. The poor man, who is an innocent harmless being, became frantic, and no wonder. Who does not sympathize with him ? A strange accident happened a few days ago at the coal mine of Maribaye,-at Flemalle Grande, in Belgium. A man named Thiry had got on a ladder togreaso the rope used in drawing up the wooden case called the basket, when he lost his balance, and fell down the shaft. When the basket, which was as cending at the time, came to the surface in a few minutes after, it contained the body of the unfortunate man, but without the head, which in the fall coming against the sharp edge had been separated from the trunk, and was afterward found at the bottom of the shaft. Whenever we bear the advocates of slavery ex tension asking why a slaveholder has not the right to carry -his property" wherever he chooses, we are reminded of the man who tried to fore y. way into a ball-room, with two pole-cats in a bas ket and a pound of asafcetida in each pocket, and when stopped, indignantly inquiring r "Why can't I carry my property where I pleae ?" - ' PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS. PREPARED FOR THK ".RAFTSMAN'S journal." Chester County. A most diabolical out rage was committed recently on the person of a Mrs. Riday, a resident of Oxford borough On the night of the 17th April, the house of J. S. Biday, the lady's husband, was entered in his absence,' by two men, doubtless for the purpose of committing a robbery, which how ever was prevented by Mrs. R. giving the alarm and bringing to her aid some of the neighbors. On the Sunday night following, about 8 o'clock, while a part of the family were at church, the same party, it is supposed, rode to the house, hitched tueir horses, and rapped at the door. Mrs. Kiday, thinking that some neighbor was making a friendly call, bade them "come in" when a stranger entered and asked her if she knew him. She said No, but immediately recognized him as being one of the men who had been in the 'house a few nights previous. Becoming alarmed, she ran, halloed and attemped to escape, but the ruf flan caught her, and in the struggle she tore off bis shirt collar. This enraged the demon so much that he kicked her in the side, and threatened to kill her. He demanded the candle they had left behind them on the first night, remarking that it was worth gold to him. He told her he wouldn't kill her now,but a she talked the way sae did the other time, he would. He and his companion then tied her to a chair, cut off a lock of her hair, and flourishing the knife before her declared "By the holy virgin, I'll cut your throat, you d-d Protestant b !" He found n bottle of ur- peutine, with which he saturated her clothes and attempted to set them on fire, but being woolen they would not burn readily. He also placed a hot iron plate on her breast, which was burned to a crisp. Ho fastened her on the chair with her feet in the stove, and telling his comrade to "build a fire and burn the d-d thing up," left her in this position until her feet were roasted. A signal from his comrade induced the ruffian to leave the house, when two small children came down stairs and re lieveu ineir moiuer. xao screams and cries of the children up-stairs had alarmed the neighbors, Mho rushed to the house, broko open the doors, which remained locked, and entering found Mrs. Riday had fainted. Med ical aid was called to her rclief.tut she is still in a very precarious condition. The only cause lor this horrible treatment of the woman seems to be that she had prevented the vil lains carrying away her husband's property They said they were not afraid of being de tected. Cambria Covntt. A little daughter of Joseph Hildebrand,of Jacksou township, aged about six years, was burned so badly on Fri day the 27th ult., under the following circum stances, as to cause her death the next morn mr : bhe, together with other children of tho family, was out in the field with her father during the afternoon, where be was engaged n burning brush and other rubbish, prepara tory to farming, and when he started home in the evening she remained behind with an el der brother.about 12 years old. Presently the fire caught in the stubbles near where the children were, and completely surrounded them before they could make their escape The little girl's clothes took fire from the names, and were entirely consumed, and her person horribly and, as it ultimately proved, iaiany ournea, witn no one near to render as sistance but her little brother. He managed to carry her home, where she lingered in ter rible agony until morniDg.when death grauted her a kindly relief from her sufferings. The boy was not much injured by the flames Mifflin County. An inquest was held on the 2d inst., by Coroner Milier,on the remains of a female child found on a field on Henry Ort's farm in Derry township, which it is sup posed was brought there from the ridgo by a dog belonging to tne tenant. Both legs and one arm had been torn off. It was a large and health' looking babe, and was no doubt secre ted on the ridge perhaps alive,perhap3 dead perhaps murdered by some inhuman being who had better be in the place of the dead than living. . . . A man named Adam Brought, lately an inmate of the Toor House, from which he escaped and was "taken up and com mitted to jail, hung himself on Thursday nignt, zbtn April, with a strip ot muslin which be bad attached to a clothes pin in the wall and then fastened it around bis neck Crawford Cocntt. On Saturday, the 21st ult., during a thunderstorm at Meadville, a Miss Taylor, sister-in-law of Dr. T hompson, was struck by lightning, while sitting at her chamber window. She was using a pair of scissors, and had her hands near together, when she received s stroke in her hands which quite paralyzed them. At the same time the scissors tvere illuminated with electricity. lhe ringer on the le't hand, which had two rings on, was blistered under the rings. She received no permanent injury from the stroke. Clinton Cocntt. On Monday morning A pril 29th, a man by the name of Henry Hun ter was found dead in the privy attached to the Clinton House, in Lock Haven. Upon an examination it was proved that the dead man had been addicted to tha iika nf intn-rivitino- liquors, and that he resided somewhere- np the river. It also appeared that he had been , I in this place for several days in a state of in toxication, and bad not been seen since the Saturday evening previous. Uutler County. A prominent member of the bar, John M.

Father CmxiorY. whose secession from the Catholic Church some time since has attracted so much attention among Christian people with his colony, has been received into the x-resbytery of Chicago cO. S.i Their admis- sion to this Presbytery has occasioned much discussion in Presbyterian quarters, owiner to the fact that they were not required to be bap tized. The General Assembly ot that branch of the Church decided in 1845, by a vote of Kotos, mat Baptism in the Romish Church is not valid," and the action of the Chicago Presbytery is severely criticized, and will be a truitlul theme for contention in the next Gen- eral Assembly.

HON. BENJ. F. WADE. 'Occasional," writing to tho Philadelphia Press, speaks of Senator Wade, of Ohio, in the following terms : "Among the positive men of the Republi can party there is none deserves more com mendation than Senator Benjamin Wade, of Ohio. He is loyed by his friends and respect ed by his foes. : mere is so much candor and courage in all bis actions, so much liberality in bis votes, and such a conscientious adher ence to his opinions, that I do not wonder to hear bis name favorably, mentioned in connec tion with the Presidency. He is, in fact, the iron man of his party, and many of the Repub licans delight in drawing comparisons between him and Old Hickory. He is rough and honest, has-a way of saying eccentric things putting into a single sentence a great thought that shows him to be a man of remarkable energy and originality. He was the intimate friend ol Broderick,and ihe other day in conversation with him, while referring to that lamented pa triot, his eyes fillea with tears." Remarkable Ccreof Lockjaw. The New York Observer says : A young lady ran a rusty nail into her foot recently. The injury pro duced lockjaw of such a malignant character that her physicians pronounced her recovery hopeless. An old nurse then took her in hand, and applied pounded beet roots to her foot, removing them as often as they became dry. The result was a most complete and astonish ing cure. Such a simple remedy should be borne in mind. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

Brown, the leader of the Insur rection, found guilty of Murder awl Treason iu the First degree. The above named 'insurrection' caused a great deal of gas to be let off by leading politicians and the political press of this great country, and in tact, tne majority of the people of all parties, were more or less excited on reading the first account of the insurrection some of the papers trying to make political capital out of the affair and others making light of the matter. But if it had been an Italian strike for Freedom a gainst their lawful sovereign, led on bv Maciinni or Garibaldi, the Press of this country, with but one exception, would call meetings and pass reso lutions ana eohcii, subscriptions to aid them in their so called patriotic work: but amidst all this inconsistency there is one man that is not the least interested in the fate of Brown or his companions, and that one is Frank Short of the Short Shoe Shop on Second street, where he will be found at all times ready and willins to wait upon nersonii calling on him for anything in the Boot, Shoe or Gaiter line.

It is a fact that, at somn period, every mem ber of the human family is nuhjoct to disease or disturbance of the bodily functions ; but, with the aid of a good tonic and the exercise of plain com mon sense, they may be able so to regulate the sys tem as to secure permanent health. In order to ac complish this desired object, the true course to pur sue is certainly that which will produce a natural state of things at the least hazard of vital strength and life. For this purpose, Lr. Hostetter has in troduced to this country a preparation bearing his name, which is not a new medicine, but one that has been tried for years, giving satisfaction to all who have used it. The Bitters operate powerfully nr.n. t I II- . . - uuu tivmogu, uuncis, mm nver, restoring them to a healthy and vigorous action, and thun. hv the simple process of strengthening nature, ena ble the system to triumph over disease. For the cure of Dvsueusia. Indigestion. Nansf-n. Flatulency, Lossof Appetite. or Biliousconiplaints, aiisiijg ifwui a moruiu inaction oi tne stomach or Bowels, prod ucinsCramps, Dvsentar v.Cholie.ChoI- era Morbus, Jfcc, these Bitters have no equal. Diarrhoea, dysentery or flux, so generally con tracted by new settlers, and caused principally by the change of water and diet, will be speedily reg ulated by a brief use of this preparation. Dyspep sia, a disease which is probably mora nrevaliit in all its various forms, than any other, and tha cause of which may always be attributed to H. rangements of the digestive organs, can be cured without fail by using HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, as per directions on tho bottle. For this disease every physician will recommend Bit ters of some kind; then why not use an article known to be infallible ? All nations have their Bitters, as a preventive of disease and strengthen erof the system in general; and among them all there is not to be found a more healthy people than the Germans, from whom this preparation em anated, based upon scientific exnerimentu wh;,h have tended to prove the value of this great pre paration in the sclo of medical science. Fkver akd Agce. This trying and provoking disease, which fixes its relentless grasp on the bo dy of man, reducing him to a mere shadow in a short time, and rendering him physically and men tally useless, can be driven from the body by the use of HOSTETTER'S RENOWNED BITTER'S. Further, none of the above-stated diseases ean b contracted, even in exposed situations, if the Bit ters are usea as per directions. And as they nei ther create nausea nor offend the nalatn der unnecessary any change of diet or interrup tion ot ordinary pursuits, but promote sound sleep and healty digestion, and the complaint is remo ved as speedily as is consistent with tlm nrmin,.. tion of a thorough and permanent cure. For Persons in Advanced Years, who are suffer ing from an enfeebled consitution and infirm body, these Bitters are invaluable as a riatrica r strength and vigor, and need only be tried to be appreciated. And to a mother whilo nursin these Bitters are indispensable, especially where the mo ther's nourishment is inadequate to the demands of the child, consequently her strength must yield, and here it is where a good tonic, such as Hostet ter s Stomach Bitters, is needed to impart tempo rary strength and vizor to the r vat em TiAfl inn should by all means try this remedy for all ca ses of debility, and, before i o doing, should ask their physician, who, if he is acquainted with the virtue of the Stomach Bitters, will recommend their use in all cases of weakness.
