THE 111ELITAEY CLAIN .11SILL::
The effort of the peop
eOunties to procure indemnity for military
damages :has failed in our legislature.
t What might have . been itafate but for the
unfortunate political complication, which
'gathered around it and adhered to it with
fatal pertinacity, we cannot judge; but
certain it is that from the moment ,it
was plunged into the whirlpool of polities,
it `was 'hopelessly dead. There were.

TUE RETIRING .SENA.TORS.
Of the eleven retiring &miters, eight
are Democrats and three Union. They
are as follows:
C. M. Donavad, Dem„ Philadelphia.
J. C. Smith, Dem., Montgomery. •
Wm. Kinsey, Dem., Bucks. '
Geo.-W. Stein, Dem., Northampton.
Relater Clymer; Dein., Berks.
Bernard Reilly, Dem., Schuylkill.
Henry Johnson, Union, Lycoming.
A. Heistaml Glatz, Dem., York.
C. L. Lamberton, Dem., Clarion.
John. P. Penny, Union. Allegheny,
Morrow B. Lowry, Union, Erie
. The Senators holding over ,stand 14
Union to 8 Democrats; and the-new ap-,
portionment naturally deranges the pont
kid majorities which . elected those who
are no* about - to retire. ThUs, Mont
gomory will-now -elect with Chester, and
Delaware; York ,will not elect a Senator
'next fall in place of Glatz, as that county
is now associated with Cumberland, and
Senator Buclier .bolds 'over there, and
there will b,ano election in place of Lam
berton, as Wallace is in the same dikrict
and holds over also. The elections - will
take place next fall in _the Ist, sth, 6th,
7th, Bth, 9th, 14th, 21st (elect two) 25th
and 29th districts. Taking the vote for
GrOvertior last fall as a basis, the Derno
cratg-should carry five of the new districts
and the Union men six, which would leave
the political coniplexion of the next Sew-.
ate 20 Union to. 13 Democrats. We can
not give the vote for Governor by wards
in the Ist district; but it gave some 1200
Democratic majority, and will doubtless
re-elect Capt. Donavan. The sth district,
which will elect in place of Smith, Noted
as follows for Governor :
Prisprioi9re:
e Of the border
Chester -
Delaware
Montgomery ..
Union majority. 2912
The 6th district is composed of Bucks,
which last fall voted 6,836 for Woodward
and 6,266 for Curtin—Democratic Ma
jority, 570. Senator Kinsey, who retires,
was chosen- Us_a Democrat, but he has
steadily refused to sanction the, action of
his party in periling our credit, emimr
rassing the government, and treacherously
opposing the war. He is unqualifiedly for
sustaining the war and every measure
necessary to its successful prosecution ;
and he openly charges the prolongation
of the war to the action of the Demo
cratic leaders. He has been formally de
nounced by the Democrats of several of
the intensely 'copperhead districts of his
county; and it is probable that he will be
a candidate for re - -election as on indepen
dent War Democrat. He is a most faithful,
Upright and intelligent man; and we hope
to'see the friends of the government unite
in'his support. If' so,' he will be chosgii
triumphantly. The 7tkdistriet- voted as
follows for Governor in 1863:
1900DWARD. CL 36a6 "RTIN
..
Lehigh . 5526
Noithampton..., 3465
12064 7161
Dcmocmtie majority, 4,903. • '
As Mr. Stein is from Northampton, the
Democratic candidate - will come from
Lehigh next fall; and we think the chances
will be rather in favor of his election.
The, Bth district is Berks, which voted
12,627. for Woodward and 6,605 for Cur
tin—Democratic 'majority, 6,022. Mr.
Clymer will doubtless be re-elected. The
9th district is Schuylkill, - which voted
8,547 for Woodward, and 6,506 for Curtin
—Democratic majority, 2,041. Mr. Reilly
will - therefore pretty certainly have a
Democratic successor. The 14th district
voted for Governor as follows:
!WOODWARD. CURTIN.
Lycoming - . 3865 3414
Snyder 1331 1759
Union 1250 2024
Uaion majority, 750
Senator Johnson will probably be, a
candidate for re-election; but Union and
Snyder will most likely claim the candi
date. Mr. Beck, member of the House,
from Lycoming, will' probably be the
Democratic candidate. The 21st is a
double district, • and will elect two Sena:
tors at the nest election. It voted for
Governor as follows:
WOODWA RD. CURTIN
Blair ' 2336 32433
Centke ' ' ' -305 s 2714

Juniata.. 1737 1456
Mitilin , 3626 1709.
Perry:: _ 2296 j 2328
Union majority, 1480
We do not now know of any gentleman
prominently urged for Senator on: either
side in the district. The 25th. district is
composed of. Allegheny, which gave 17,-.
708 for Curtin, and ir.),050 for Wocidward
—Union majority, 7,655. Mr. Penny, we
learn,peremptorilydeclines to serves third
term ; but a sound Union man will of
course be chosen. The 29th district' is
composed of Crawford and Erie, and vo
ted strongly for Curtin, as follows;:

—Fidelity to 'pleasant memories de
mands at our hand a - passing notice of the
retirement Hon: -John. 'Penny and
Hon. Heister Clymer. The former has
served six and the latter four yearsin the
first legislative tribunal 'of the_ State, ac
knoWledged leaders of their - respective
'es, and esteemed by all for- their
ge i erous personal qualities, which never
faded even in - the warmest political con
filets. As one who, in an humble' way-,
shared somewhat in the earnest struggles
of the memorable sessions which immedi
ately preceded, and at lasi witnessed the
bursting fury of civil war upon our com
mon country, we can fitly record a juSt
appreciation of the dignity and manhood
which they'ever sustained in the Senate.
They were parted with regretfully by
their associates, and through all the mu
tations - and conflicts of the fame; as in
the past,many kind personal`Tecollections,
bounded by no . party lineS, will follow
John P. Penny and HeisterCly*r.
THE CLEAVELAND CONVENTION:
A forthal call has finally been issued
for the "People's National Convention"
at Cleaveland on Tuesday, the 31st of
_May. It is signed by some forty-five
gentletnen, headed by Senator, B. Gratz
Brown, of Missouri, and six signers from
Pennsylvania—viz: Messrs Andrew Hum
bert, Win. Morris Davis, E. M. Davis,
William F. Johnston, and Nathaniel P,
Sawyer. Of Mr. Humbert we have never
before heard that we can recollect. Wm.
Morris Davis was chosen to Congress by
Montgomery and part of =Philadelphia in
1860, and E. M. Davis is probably his
brother. William F. Johnston is widely
known as one of our most successful Go
vernors, and one of our most unsuccess
ful politicians,ever since, and Mr. Sawyer
is simply his echo. So far as the names
are concerned, they -carry little political
weight, and the gentlemen are really with
out constituencies. There are doubtless
men in Pennsylvania who prefer General
Fremont for the Presidency, but there is
no considerable number outside of the
Democracy, who wish a nomination to be
made at Cleaveland solely with the view
of defeating the re-election of President
Lincoln.
The temper of the call clearly developes
the purpose of the ConVention. It is not
called to harmonize the Union strength
of the Nation, but to distract and perma
nently divide it. The: people through
their State and district conventions have
declared _for the re-nomination of Presi
dent Lincoln with an earnestness and
unanimity unprecedented in our political
history. These expreasknis were not the
result of political managers of office
holders and patronage; but they come
spontaneously from the people and with
a degree of positiveness that politicians
could not thwart. Seeing this, the all
for the Cleaveland Convention declares
its purpose to defy the clear and unequiv
ocal expressions of the loyal pcople. , The
call! insists that "'the principle of one
term, which has now acquired' the force
of law by the consecration of time, ought
to be inflexibly adhered to in the ap
proaching election," and it refuses to
recognize in the Baltimore Convention
"the essential conditions of a truly Na
tional Convention." The call does not
declare the
_purpose of the Convention to
be the nomination of National candidates,
but "for consultation aikd concert of ac
tion in respect to the approaching-Presi
dential election."
The real purpose of the Cleveland Con
vention is well understood; and it has the
hearty sanction of every copperhead in the
Northern States. Scarcely a Democratic
fournal is issued just now that does not
magnify the strength of Gen. Fremont as
a Presidential candidate, and portray the
wrongs Fremont has'suffered at the hands
of the administration because he is de
prived of a command; yet, while Gen.
Fremont had a command, there was not a
Democratic journal that did not denounce
him":l4 an incompetent General, and they
world so denounce him to-day were the
President to assign liim to duty. , That
he will be the nomine of the Cleveland
Convention, is placed beyond the possi
'bility 'of doubt; and it wilt be for Gen.
Fremont and his friends to determine
whether he will sacrifice himself in a vain
effort to sacrifice the great cause of the
loyal people of the country. ,
—lt idle to assume that - the action of
•
the 'Clenveland Convention will in any
degree influence the decision of the Bal
timore Convention. It will re-nominate
President Lincoln, and the loyal people
will reflect him by 'the largest popular
given to a National can
didate.

Three-quarters of a century ago Mary

vailed over justice and philanthropy.—
Maryland become wedded to Slavery.—
Her statesmen made devotion' to human
bondage the certain way to preferment,
and in June -1859, its. power culminated
in a Convention of Maryland slave-holders
On Baltimore to devise means for "the
greater security" of slave property.—
Conspicuous among the delegates-were ex-
Gov. Lowe, now a fugitive-in rebeldom
-without horror or a command; Bradley T.
Johnson, now a Brigadier in the rebel
army; John' H. Sotherton, now in Rich
mond to escape the retribution of the laws
for the murder of an officer enlisting
slaves, and many others who either 'are
oisliduld be in the narrowing dominions
of treason. The result of •this Conven
tion was a pro-slavery legislature, and the
disgraceful statute known as the anti
emancipation law. '
Still not content, the insatiate despoil
er
must have new safe-guards, and in
.1860 the Methodist, Church was called
upon - tp thrOw its great weight on the side
of Slavery. An ecclesiastical convention
was help in Baltimore, and the church
was notified to repudiate the chapter
against Slavery, or suffer dismemberment.
The Church was faithful; but the Central
_Methodist Episcopal Church was founded
as the advocate of what the fiaber of the
Church had pronounced " thg'ssun.l of all
Yrota teaching Slavery it
naturally taught treason, and to-day it
is hearing the terrible thunders of Him
'who, in the fulness 'of time, has at lagt
declared—" Vengeance is mine ; I will
repay I.*!,
In 1862_ the retributive stroke against
Slavery was ready to fall; and the Pres
ident appealed to Congress and the bar
der States 'to inaugurate compensated
emancipation. Maryland rejected it.—
Still the withering cum plead that it
might exist yet a little longer, and Mary
land Representatives refused the proffer
ed aid of Congress to restore their State
to Freedom without Insi to her citizens.
TW.O years more are crowded into history,
criinsoned,with the blood of hindreds of
thousands of victims to: Slavery and its
kindred crime of treason. Another con
vention is now int session in Maryland,
with delegates just chosen by the people.
Gladly would Slavery appeal to it for but
another year to live; for compensation,
or for itS bitter dregs to be poured out
gradually by apprenticeship; but its voice,,
once so omnipotent, is now powerless, 'lind
there is no ambition so mean as to do it.
reverence. From being the dictator of
the policy of the State in 1859-60, it is
now a pitiful suppliant before the people
whose fame it has blotted, and whose soil
it has enriched with fraternal blood; and
its existence is limited by months and
da,ys----Aot years. The returning wave of
justice that was borne away by, the relent
less current of despotism but two years
ago, is resistless in its , sweep, and when

Union men owe it io themselves and to
their cause to be harmonious in their

Dauphin district and the Franklin! dis
trict, in the face of 'decided majorities of

resolve to redeem them, and labor untir

Blair district our friends seein'to think
that the Way to-redeem their districtisto
quarrel as bitterly as possible over candi- .
dates; and the usually judicious Register
of Hollidaysburg, now indulges in unkind
reflections upon leading nien who maybe

by the Union majorities of Blair : and.
Huntingdon, aiid every elemen tofstrength
will be needed to give decisive triumph

Tian new revenue bill, passed by the
legislature levies duties upon the tonnage
of all .the 'railroads and_ transportation
companies, of the State, as follois ;: 'two
cents per ton on the products of .mines;
three cents per ton on the products of
for
ests and farms; and five cents per ton on
merchandise; manufactures and all other
articles. This _is a wise provision, and
had it been adopted two years ago, When
the Senate proposed instead of waging'
ajsenseless war against the Pennsylvania
Railroad-Company as the. House did, we
should have had fully $1,500,000 of addi
tional revenue now. The bill now pass
ed will giie the State fully $750,000 of
new resources, and it' will be scarcely felt
by any of the producing or consuming in.
terests of the State. Additional taxes are
also imposed upon banking and savings
institutions, and all other companies not
paying a tax on dividends under exiting
laws, and the. Revenue - Board is wisely
abolished. Under this bill the revenules

been fierce straggles to gain Democratic suprem
