Hon. William A. Wallace Chairman of
the State Central Committee, called the
Convention at twelve o'clock. Bo spoke as
fullowe :
Two years since you called me to the head
of your organization. I accepted as a duty
that which I had not sought as an honor,
and I bring you now no memories of battles
won or of victories gained, but those of
forces marshaled, of contests waged, of
principles defended.
The Republic has Just passed through a
war of gigantic proportions. Our politnail
foes had weilded the physical, financial and
moral pincer of the whole. The soil of every
battle-field had been reddened with the blood
of members of our organisation, sealing
with their life their devotion to the Union,
yet obloquy. falsehood and persecution were
unsparingly hurled upon us 'became we had
principles and boldly proclaimed them, and
when the historian shall trace with impartial
pen the events of those years, he will record
that we were vilified, persecuted and defeat
ed because we s upported the principles of
free government and defended the great
cardinal doctrines of the Federal Constitu
tion.
.. s
so
Peace came. Possessed of a vast military
and naval establishment, coetrolling the ex
penditure of hundreds of millions annually,
with an inquisitorial revenue system num
bering its thousands and permeating every
Keetiotl of the land, with the absolute con
trol of every Tirane!' of the civil servi c e, and
the powerful aid of organized c apital in the
hands of uteri who had reaped wealth in the
bloody harvest ju.t passed, our enemy ho
neyed nod hoped that their grail of power
WAS to be perpetual, and that we were dead
and buried beyond the hope of resurrection.
The events of theast two years have un
deeeivcd them, an d they now recognize the
feet that the party they hoped wua none
forever. is organized, ea ippol, and ready
to grasp from their unsteady hand the.
hcep cc ~r dominion.
The hasis of our unity, the gum of our
p , rretaily, is the principle of self prescr
vation. Our instincts teach us to be immortal
as a party. Individual liberty is the price
less gem nround which the Constitution
er ,, ated the casket we love. tiovermneuts
arc m a de for inert, not men for goVerolitelits,
Mot made the States. The States and
Mon made the Union. Both are essential
to us. The Fovernment is one of limited
powers : limited that it may not trample
upon our rieits; limited that it may enable
rrr to enjoy
To these primiples we have ever been
true, and so long as we have faith in tholo,
courage in their maintenance and hope for
our *Notary, we have within us the element
of success.
The past it gone, the great present is with
us. As practical men we may mould its
relatives to tampe the events of the future,
and aid in regaining the highway to national
,
advancing the material progress of our
great Commonwealth, in developing her
immense rctaturces 2 in fostering her Indus
trial tutpresta and in placing her in the van•
guard of the family of States, we shall find
a career worthy of the most exalted am
bition.
In !wow; if my i)hwe in the ranks. of your
army, I may e permitted to return to you
my sinwre thanks for the uniform courtesy
and kindness with which you have treated
me.

RESOT.rTIONS
Hon, B. M. Royer, of Montgomery
County, from the Committee on Resolutions
reported the following platform
We the delegates of the Demotratie par
ty of Pennsylvania in general State Con
vention assembled, for the nomination of a
candidate for Judge of the Supreme Conrt,
profoundly grateful to the Supreme Ruler
of the Universe fur the return of peace to
our beloved country, but deeply anxious on
would of the trials and delays which im
pede the complete restoration and reunion
of all the States, and appreciating the dan
gers which still threaten the safety of our
lnditical institutions, and the future peace,
iberty and prosperity of the people,
&volved, That we steadfastly adhere to
the principles of civil government establish
ed by the founders of the Union, attain the
present mad of legislative usurpation with
eonstitutional law, we esteem a wise, up
tight, and fearless judiciary the great bul
wark ofpublic liberty und individual right.
That the Union of the States is perpetu
al? and the Federal government supreme
'Wallin its Constitutional limits.
That representation in the Congress of
the United Stales and in the Electoral Col
lege is a right, fundamental and indestruct
ible in its nature, and abiding in every State,
being a duty as well as a right pertaining to
the people of every State, and essential to
our republican system of government. Its
denial is the destruction of the government
Each State having, under the Constitu
tion, the exclusive right to prescribe the
qualitieations of its own electors, we pro
claim as a usurpation and an outrage the
establishment of negro suffrage in any of
the States by the em , reive exorcise of Ped
en!' power, and we shall resist to the last
resort the threatened measures of the lead
eru of the Republican party to interfere by
acts of Congress with the regulation of the
elective franchise in the State of Pennsyl
vania.
We are opposed to any amendment of the
Constitution of the State giving to negroes
the right of suffrage.
That the failure of the tariff bill in the
last session of the late Congress. more than
three fourths of whose members belonged
to the Republican party, is an illustration of
their infidelity to their pledges and their ne
glect of their profession in relation to the
great industrial and financial iiiteresta of the
country.
That the radical majority in Congress,and
those who sustain them, have overthrown
the Constitution, dismembered the Federal
Union, and subverted our republican form
of government by a long aeries of usurps
tions, among which are the following: The
denial of the right of the States of the
Union to representation in Congrees; the
treatment of ten States as subjugated pro
vinces, and governing them by military force
in lien of peace; the enactment of laws
denying indemnity for arrest and false im
prisonment made without authority of law ;
the resistance of the authority of civil tri- ,
bunala, and their overthrow by the substitu
tion of millitary commissions for the trial of
undefined offences • their e ff orts to destroy
the Execntive amid Judicial departments of
the government by threatened impeachment,
to control executive action, and a projected
remodeling of the Supreme Court of the
United States, to force obedience to the
venal mandates of Congress ; the ejectment
from their seats in the Federal Senate and
House of Representatives of members duly
and legally chosen : the purpose of confisca
tion, avowed by the Republican leaders, in
violation of the declaration of rights and
other guarantees of Federal and State con
stitutions, tending, as it does, to destroy . all
protection to private property, advancing
them far on the highroad to repudiation.
That a strict conformity, both by Federal
and State government, to all powers, re
strictions, and guarantees as contained in
the constitution of the United States. a
rigid and wily economy in the administra
tion ofpublic affairs, and the election of
capable, honest and patriotic men to office,
are nicasutos absolutely necessary to restore
public confidence, avert national bankruptcy,
and to insure the perpetuity of our free in
stitutions.
That the late Republican Legislature of
this State has distinguished itself for the
number of its unwise and unconstitutional
enactments. Some of these laws have al
ready been judicially determined to be un
constitutional ;othera are unwise, inexpe
dient, oppressive and fanatical, and the
members who sustained them should It
condemned by the people at the polls. '
That power and success of the Democretic
party greatly depend on the character and
of of ita newspaper press, and that
to give due force to its usefulness, this Con
vention earnestly request that in every coun-
ty all the members of the Democrotio party
should make vigorous efforts to biome its
circulation by giving it their individual.pat
ronage and support.
That the Democracy of Pennsylvania by
their representatives now assembled, hereby
tender acknowledgment and thanks to
George W. Woodward in his retirement
from the position of Chief Justice of this
Commonwealth, for the pure and faithful
manner in which he discharged the duties
of that °shekel]position.
That the candidate we this day'present to
the people of Pennsylvania for a place on
the Supreme Bench of the State, is, in all
respects, worthy of the confidence and sup.
port of all who are in favor of en enlighten
ed, faithful and impartial administration of
the laws.

FIRESIDE STORIES.
BY J. MAR LAKE
A few months ago, on a cold raw day in
January, I entered the private office of the
firm of which lam a member, and found
my partners in earnest e msultation over the
contents of a letter received by Ole morning
mail. The letter contained the unwelcome
intelligence that one of our agents, in a
manufacturing town in New Hampshire,
had proved recreant to his trust, and ab
sconded with a considerable sum of money
belonging to the firm. It was immediately
decided that one of us must visit the scene
to regulate matters, and take immediate
steps for the apprehension .of the thief.
Having at one time in my life been a mem
ber of the secret police, and gained a good
reputation in that capacity, my partners
flatteringly remarked that I was just the
person to "work up" the case.
The next morning I started for L-,
the scene of the robbery. In one week's
time the thief had been captured, nearly all
the stolen money recovered, and in the best
of spirits I made preparations to start for
home tho following morning. When morn
ing came the sky looked threatning, and
the weather prophets predicted an unusually
severe snow-storm. Rut having a good
horse and warm robes I determined to start.
About ten o'clock it commenced snowing
and blowing in earnest ; at four the roads
were impassible, and I was Sieved to seek
shelter at a wayside inn. Upon entering
the bar-room I found seated around a blaz
ing wood fire three other storm hound travel
ers. Room was cheerfully made for me,
and the conversation became general until
mine host called us to partake of a bounti
ful supper. When we were again seated
round the fire one of our number proposed
that each in turn should relate some person
al adventure, The proposition meeting with
favor, the eldest of our little group was re
quested to commence. He was a noble
looking man of some fifty years, and his
story I give as nearly as possible.
"The incident which I am about to re
late occurred many years ago, but 'tie as
fresh in my memoay as though it was but
yesterday. Anil to convince you of the
truth of my story, look at my arm," and
bareing the member he showed us several
deep, ugly scars. "I was a youth of twenty
when these were made, and I'll tell you how
it happened. My hither was formerly a
merchant in B—, when I was about
ten years old he became unfortunate in
business. and lost nearly all his property ;
he had speculated in laud considerably, and
at the time of his reverses owned a tract
of laud in this State. Tired of the world,
he removed his family to the then almost
unbroken forest. Game, large and small,
was plenty, and having a natural inclination
I soon became au expert hunter for a boy.
I would take my rifle, and, accompanied by
my deg Brave a noble fellow, make long
excursions through the surrounding aountry.
Some ten miles from our cabin there was
a small settlement, and thither I went oc
casionally. One afternoon it was in October,
I took my rifle, and whistling for Brave,
started for the eettlement. The bears were
unusually plenty that fall, and that after-
noon my mother warned me to get home
before night. On reaching the settlement
I found a number of persons congregated
round the 'store,' and becoming interested
in the conversation, time passed away faster
than I was aware of. It was nea r ly sunset
when I started for home, and it bid fair for
a dark night, though there was a moon, I
had gone about four miles, when the dog,
who was a few steps in advance, suddenly j
stopped and gave vent to low. deep growl. I
I stepped quickly forward, and saw directly I

ous customer, and drew hack with the in
tention of leaving her unmolested, But she
had seen me and with an angry growl gave
chase. I confess my limbs trembled, for a I
moment sad then every nerve seemed of
iron.Hest* ordering the dog behind me,
and loosening my knife—and bowse—in my
belt, I cocked my rifle and waited for her
bearship to come nearer. Finding I did
not run, the bear halted when within about
fifteen yards of me, and raised herself upon
her hind legs. This' gave me an exoellont
opportunity, and taking a quick, sure aim,
I fired. The bullet found her heart and she
fell over dead. The cubs, Brave," I, 63141,
in a moment he had dispatched them. The
darkness was falling fast, and leaving my
game where it fill, I pushed on for home.
"After going perhaps a mile and a half,
Brave, who led the way, came to • halt,
and then with another growl retreated to
my side. Putting my hand upon him, I
could feel him tremble, and I trembled also,
for I knew there was but one animal he
ftiared, and that the panther. Naturally I
am no coward, hut to be miles from any
human habitation, surrounded by dark•

and perhaps preparing to spring upon
you, is sufficient to test ones nerves and
courage. I knew it was no use to retreat
ea speaking encourageingly to Brave, I took
my knife in my teeth, and cocking my trus•
ty rifle, I cautiously minima I had ta
ken but a few steps, when from a tree a few
yards in advance I saw the creature's ear.

the moon passed from under a cloud, and I
'Could see the panther crouch to apring.—
Quickly raising my rifle, and taking the best
aim I could, I exclaimed, 'Take hint Brave,'
and fired. 'Scarcely had the report of my
rifle rang through the forest when I was
hauled to the ground and felt the creature's
teeth in my arm. Before I could use my
knife, Brave fastened his teeth in its throat.
I sprang to my feet to assist the dog, but
no help was needed, the panther was badly
wounded by my shot, and the dog finished
him. Poor Brave, he was sadly torn by the
creatures claws, my own wounds were se•
vere. Loading my rifle as best I could, I
started on again. I reached home but to
open the door and fall fainting into the room.
It was weeks before I went out again, but
Brave and I took many a tramp afterwards,
and saw some hard service. Poor Brave I
when he died I buried him with all the hon•
ors of war, and dropped upon his grave a
tearful tribute to the noble brute, who more
than once saved my life.

HUI Slmpson'N Legal Eimer-
len .
Many years ago the Legislature of Ten
'lessee passed an act to organise the county
of MeNairy, alias Snake. At that time the
country embraced in the limits of Snake
was occupied by a set of back-woodsmen,
totally unacquainted with courts, jails, de.
The county assembled at the appointed site
for the purpose of cutting logs, making
boards, &c., to build u court house and jail.
The only theme of daily conversation, when
the men were assembled, was the court &c.
None of them had ever seen a court in sess
ion, as yet developed. Each one would
give what his idea was of court, &e. None
however, were entirely satisfactory, until
Bill Simpson was called on to give his ideas.
He said he knew all about a court, that ho
had had a law-suit in North Carolina. One
of his neighbor's bogs kept coming when
he fed his hogs, until it got fat. One morn
ing Jr got so mad that he shot the hog. He
thought it would not do to throw it away,
so he cleaned and salted it. Shortly after
his neighbor and a dam come to his house,
examined the smokehouse, and took him to
town and put.him in a little office. About
thee months after that his man came and
took him to a large room. A large man
sat upon a high bench—a man was sitting
at a desk—about a dosen fine dressed men
sat in a place that was paled around. The
man put him in a pen that was just behind
them. He then called in twelve men, they
took their seats in a box in front of the fine
dressed men. The man that was writing
gave the twelve men a book, anti said Nome
thing about Bill Simpson and the State. Then
one of them fine men read something about
Bill Simpson and the hog, and he and an.
other of the fine dressed men had the big
gest quarrel you ever hoard. I thought
they didt't. It was Bill Simpson and the
hog, and the hog and Bill Simpson, and
sometimes Mr. Simpson, but very seldom.
After they quit quenching, the big man
talked awhile to the twelve men, and they
went out and stayed a short time, and came
back and said something to the men at the
desk. Then the man at the bench said
something to the man that put me in the
office, and lie took rue out and tied me to a
tree, and commenced eowhiding me with sr
cowhide, and it made toe so mad that 1
shook all the persimmons of the tree.
The "Blockhead" Party.
The appropriateness of the name given
to the Republican party, by its distinguished
leaevr. ilon• Ilonioc Greeley, ought not to
Le ilivngarleol by the Democrat. How- ,
ever we have differed from Mr.
lireelvy upon militias, his astuteness in
reading the peculiar characteristic. of in
dividuals and parties, we have never ques
tioned. Doubtless, hid estimate of the
Republicans, as it party, has been long en
tertained. Their fanatical absurdities and
tuotintrend crimes, comb! not have failed to
evrite his indignation frequently during the
past few years; but hie yartigan proclivities
have stifled the expression of his true Km
timonts. It only needed so rice ion, when
his spirit should be chafed by appli
cations of the p;oacriptive lash to his own
%boulders, to incline a piddle declaration of
his primte opinion. "Ton are a set of
blockheads !" says G. We agree 'with,
Mr Greeley, fully ; and inasmuch as the
great 'leader of the party—not, us—bas
christined it, we adopt the name The Re
publican party no longer exists. lienoeforth,
our political battles are to be waged with
the "BLocwrizan" PARTY'
