Republican State Convention.
If we had room-we should like to lay the
proceedings of the Republican State t,'on
vention, which met at Harrisburg last
week, in full before our reader , It was.
we have every reason to believe, the most
remarkable exhibition of "ground and lof
ty" political tumbling, as well as the most
abject performance of eating one'-' (•.%%n
w.ords, that has ever taken place in this state.
The chief spokesman in this cow ocation
of "buzzards," to use the ,classic language
of Hon. DAVID TAGGART, one of the defeat
ed candidates for Governor, %a.= the “own
er of the party" in this county, Mr. M. B.
Lower. He was the great "I am," the Ju
piter Tonus, of the whole concern. Ile
moved, and the convention obeyed. He
spake, and they listened! Ile threatened.
and they meekly "diied up," and submit
ted ! With such an engineer is it any won
der the deliberations of the Conven
tion resulted in nominating Gen. Stvoc
Csatzaos, as the choice of the party in
Pennsylvania for President, and ANDY
CrRTAIN, of the Pollock administration
notoriety, for Covernor. After we have
heard so much from the press and the
orators of this party abmit the profligacy
of political conventions, who would have
devined such a result as this? Who could
have been convinced that any respectable
party would ever have instructed its dele
gation to a National Convention to favor
the nomination of such a man as Simon
Cameron for the Presidency of this great
Republic f When we look back over this
man's past history, blasted and blistered
and corrupted by every species of bribery
and plunder ; as an American citizen, and
as a citizen of this great Keystone State of
the Union, we feel humbled and humilia
ted, that within the borders of this old
eommonwealth any party could be found
so lost to shame that it would send its del
egation to a convention instructed to sup
port Simon Cameron for the chief (dice
in this nation' What recommends this
man? What but lot fox-like cunning—h;,3
unscrupulous character and their hopes of
plunder recommended Aim to thor factor and
purchased their instructions? But we need
not construct language of our own to de
scribe the characteristics of this man, w hom
the "owner of the party in Erie county."
has brought forward for his meek follow
ers to endorse. If any of our readers have
a file of the Erie Gaa'Us for the year 1,455,
let them turn to the number for,Fels.
and they will find a paper signed by twen
ty-eight members of the then "opposition"
Legislature in which the political charac
ter of Gen. Csesaos is drawn with &master
hand. To this paper are signed the names,
among others, of DAVID TAGGART, who re
'calved-sixteen votes for Governor In the
Convention last week, and who was subse
quently designated as elector for the 11th
district by the same body—Hon. FRANCIS
JORDAN, delegate to Chicago from the 17th
district ; and G. J. BALL, Esq., of this city.
In that paper we are told that the signers
could not, in justice to themselves, vote
for Gen. CAVERGN for Senator—"a man,"
they say, "whose whole history is but the
"history of intrigue—a man who has de-

After quoting .some resolutions showing
him to have hut:a few months previous acted
with the Democratic party. Messrs. Tag

colleagues, a•antirtue—

pi- An old subscriber awl valued friend
gat 4• a legit err the other day on our du
ties as an billet The subject matter of
les complaint was that we hate not-pitch
ed i nt o " th e 'ourts of this District because
of what he eonceives the lax administration
of J ust.' this particular bill of complaint
ea. the '• e.a...e." Now, whether that
uwertuuate young man should have been
or should not have been hung, is
not a yiestion for IN Or any other newspa
per I:ditor to decide. At his trial our
own opinion was that he was guilty of
murder. and tinder, the present -law the
penalty for that et nue is death. Two sworn
juries. both of which bad all the evidence
Is-for,- thorn, earns to the same conclusion.
The) Court, however, thought different, and
in !let opinion we believe vine-tenths of
the bar of this county—composed of gen
tlemen "learned in the law"--;concur. But
whether the bar concurs in this opinion,
or whether it does not, the Court, which is
the judge of the law in this case, was of the
opinion that according to the true reading
of the law defining the crime for which he
was tried, the prisoner was not guilt) of
premeditated murder In a case like that
of Fou•t, it is a nice question to decide
whether there was premeditation sufficient
to oonstitute murder in the first degree or
not at all events it is so nice that we can
readily see how a jury, under the influence
of able counsel, could come to one conclu
sion, while the Court. unoperated upon by
any such influence, should come to a very
ditferent one. In this view of the case the
opinions of the jury and the Court should
both eepected ; and jbeing respected,
it is not the province of a newspaper to
belabor with violent language either the
one or the other. To disagree with the
Conn, in respectful language, is very prop
er. And that ts precisely what we did.—
We said at the time that we doubted the
propriety of the court's grunting a new
trial and that wa l l . al l that, as a public
journalist, we thought we were called
upon to say. With equal firmness we say
now we doubt the propriety of a newspa
per Editor denouncing a Judge as venal,
and corrupt, and profligate, and lampoon
ing him from week to week and from
month to month, for the simple reason
that the said .1 udge and the said Editor do
not look through the same spectacles at
given subject We do not believe that
such a course is calculated to "reform" the
- Judiciary, or benefit the people. On the
contrary. whilejust and respectful criticism
is the true province of the newspaper, un
just criticismand vituperative abuse of any
one is the province of none but black
guards, who, venal themselves, can see no
motive in others but that which sways
their own ignoble natures. An editor
should be very pure himself—should he
above reproach, and above suspicion of
Improper motives—before he lends himself
to the task of impeaching the integrity of
a judge upon the Bench, or his associates
beside hint. hence it is, that while we
value the judgment of our friend, alluded
to at first, we cannot concur in his conclu
sions as to the line of ixtliey ire should pur
sue in this, or any other case, which may
be a subject of judicial investigation.

' WWI ut regard to the sdint--ion of Kan-as,
It say• in the National House of liepre-en
tatives the Committee on Territories ILI% c
under eonsideration the admission of Kan
sas under the Constitution framed at Wy
andotte during last summer, and there
no doubt that they will report favorulile to
the creation of a new State. With the
provisions of this Constitution the public
generally are familiar enough. There is
nothing in it particularly novel or offensive:
and hence no objection can be urged to
the admission of Kansas as a State, either
in or out of Congress, except the allegation
that she has not the population demanded
by the celebrated ENGLISH bill. This alle
gation is, however, by no means well sub
stantiated ; and we learn that the delegate
from Kansas is preparing to show, from
the Territorial census and from the returns
of recent elections, that the /..saSWe
resi
dents there number full one hundred
thousand.
But even should this number of inhabi
tants not be found within the limits of the
Territory, our opinion is that she is still
entitled to admission. The provision of
the Estottsu bill which requires a certain
population before her admission, was ob
jectionable in many respects. and should
not be held as binding by the representa
tives of the people. It is establishing it
Precedent which can result in no immedi•
ate good, and which, if enforced,will contin
ues dangerous and disagreeable agitation
The admission of Kansas into the. Union
would render her sovereign, and the quo ,
Lion of slavery within her borders would at
once be removed from the arena of na
tional politics. The people there would
not only have the tight to "regulate their
affairs in their own way," but it would he
their duty to do so. and they alone eotild
be responsible for the exercise of the vie
or they held. The battle of the slavery
question in Kansas has been fought and
won. Southern statesmen admit that it
never eau be established there, and It !-
therefore, useless, and worse than welt—.
to continue to agitate it.
AY a general principle we believe that
the sooner organized Territories are ad
mitted into the Union. and endowed with
State sovereignty, the better it will be fot
