• THE STATE CONVENTION.
We have seldOm had the pleasure of
witnessing a more harmonious assem
blage,or one more enthusiastic in devotion
to the principles which it had met to ad
• vance, or respectable in point of member
ship, than the State Convention, repr&.
-_renting the Democratic party Of Pennsyl
vania, which convened in Philadelphia
on Thursday, the 24th ultimo. The at. l \
tendance was remarkably full, every dis
,,trict and county in the State being repre
- seated, and many persona of mark being
present as visitors. Among the members
were some of the most . prominent Demo
crats in the State, and the sentiment
which pervaded the proceedings was of
• the kindest and most patriotic nature. In
the list of delegates were a number whose
names are " familiar as household words"
,
to our readers, such as Wm. H. Witte, of
Montgomery ; Carrigan, McGrath, Hirst,
Gilmore, and Miles, of Philadelphia ;
Galbraith, of Erie ; J. Glancy Jones, of
Berke; Pratt, of Wyoming. fornierly
Speaker of the Senate; Kerr and' Mc-
Calmont, of Venango ; Lamberton',. 'of
Clarion ; Sanderson, of Lancaster ; Wal
lace, of Clearfield ; and-Schell, of Bedford;
By far - the larger portion of the members,
though, were new men, fresh from the
,people, and representing more directly
than usual their wishes. One remarkable
feature of the Convention was its almost
entire absence from wir&pulling, and the
ordinary tricky tactiba by which shrewd
• managers control the action of large
bodies. "The proceedings generally sprung
from the spontaneous wishes of the mem
bers, and in no respect was this float
more marked than in the election of offi
cers- nd delegates to the National Con
venti . Whatever may have been
char's against previous assemblages of,
the Democratic party of Pennsylvania, 'it'
can never be read with truth of this one,
- that it was anything else than a true rep
resentative of the Democratic masses of
the, State.
The place of meeting was in National
Guards Hall, a large edifice used for local
military purposes, on Race street, in con
venient proximity to the large Hotels, and
other places of public resort. ' The Hall is
not as well suited for gatherings of the
sort as that of the House of Representa
tives at Harrisburg, where the State Con
ventions ordinarily meet, but the thought
fulness mad kindness of ' our Philadelphia
friends had made it as agreeable as possi
ble. A large space arranged with seats
had been fenced - off for the delegates,
leaving a still larger one, which was con,
stantly crowded with interested Tacos, for
spectators. Above' the President's chair,
and in various parts of the Hall, waved
the national banner, and during the pro
ceedings au immense flag floated fromthe
'staff on the top of 'the building.
1---.
The Convention was called to order,,
according to custom, by the Chairman of
the State Central Committee, Col. Chas. J.
Biddle, of Philadelphia. This gentleman
will be remembered as having been the
first commander of the celebrated Buck
tail regiment, which he led into several
important actions. While he was in
' service , in the .field; he was elected to
Congress from 'one of' the districts of Phil
adelphia, where he distinguished himself
' for ability, and daring defence of Union
principlei. In personal, appearance he is'
entirely different from what our imagina
tion had pictured him. He is:quite small
and slender, wears his coat closely but
toned around him, has a sharp, tale faq,
and with the exception of a remarkably
keen, piercing eye, possesses no feature
' that would lead one to,suppose him the
intrepid hero and able man that he really
is.
The Convention elected at its tempora
ry Chairman, Hon. Thomas B. Searigbt,
of Fayette county,n representative in the
present Legislature. -We were rather
agreeably disappointed .with this gentle
man, who proved himself a very excellent
speaker, and a good presiding officer.
His remarks were brief and pointed, and
did him great credit. We copy them in
full from the Philadelphia doe, whiolt gave
a complete phonographic report of the
proceedings:

believe that the maintenance of the "Con
stitution and the restoration of our Union
depend upon the application of Demo
cratic principles in the administration of
the Government [applause]; therefore, to
be called upon to preside over the delibe
rations of a Democratic State Convention
I esteem sine of the highest holm( that
can be conferred upon any citizen. My
obligations, gentlemen, are greatly in
creased when I reflect that assigni4,
me this position you have hissed by s
many others who are more worthy of it
an p u b etkequalilled to discharge the duties

Bat, gentlemen t you will pardon me if I
transgress upon your time for a moment
longer. It has been solemnly announced
'by a Senator of the United States, high in
the confidence of the National Adminis
tration, that the liberties of the people are
more in danger from the uuboly *climes
and peoulatiens of the cormorants who
hang about the public bewail, than frota

political conventions. I hold that in-view
of t envents that are every day-trans

pee le to meet together, to take counsel
for the safety of the country And them

Providence the measures to be inaugura
tid here to day by this Convention will
be crowned with ultimata success. And
although the future prosperity of our
country seems beset with doubt and dark
ness, I tirdently hope that we may all live
to again enjoy the immeasurable blessings
of the Constitution as it - is, and the Union
as itavas. [Long continued applause.l
I again thank you, gentlemen, for the,
high honor winch you have been pleased
. to confer upon me.
After the election of three pecretaries,
the list of delegates was called over, and .
with `
one exception only which was
promptly and courteously settled by the
parties, there were ng contested seats—
a feature that has probably never before
taken place in any convention for the
last twentv-five years. The representative
from Warren county not being present,
Gen. J. Y.,Jernes volunteered to take his
place and was accepted by the Convention.
A good-natured, but somewhat disorderly
debate sprung up on the subject of choos
ing a perminent Chairman. Judge Itkc-
Calmont, of Venango, proposed to select a
Committee of one from each Senatorial
district to select permanent officers. An.
other gentleman amended the motion
that the Convention vote for Chairman
direct, and the subject 'was discussed at
consicreihble length by some of the best
speakirs of the body. Meagre. Galbraith
and Kerr were the leaders in the opposi
tion to Judge MuCalmout's metier, and
their arguments had great weight, for the
Cons+ention finally adopted them by the
decisive vote of 70 to 48.
Nominations for permanent 're-ident
were then announced, andllessrs, Witte,
'Anderson, Hirst, McCalniout, Jones,Wal
lace, Galbraith and Kert, were named,
all of whom ,declined except the two
former. But , one ballot was taken, in
which Mr. Witte received '94, and Mr.
Sanderson 31 voter. The former was
escorted to the chair by Messrs. Sander
son, and Jones, of Greene, and, in intro
ducing him to the Convention. Mr. San
derson, whose course throughout was gen
tlemanly and courteous to the fullest ex
tent, took occasion to say that 'he was
highly gratified that the Convention had
selected a gentleman of such distinguished
abilities and whose course was so consis
tently Democratic as its presiding officer.
, Mr. Witte is a gentleman whose record
is probably as well known to the people
of the State as any other man living
within her limits. Ile has been a repre
sentative in C,ongress two terms, and on
three separate occasions was a prominent
candidate for the 'Democratic Guberna
torial nomination. Defeated in each in
stance, he acquiecsed in 'the decision of
the majority with e grageand magnanimity
that entitle him to the highest honor.
He has, perhaps, the warmest friends and
bitterest enemies of any public man in
Pennsylvaiiia, but it is to his credit, that
those who know him most intimately like
him best. As a public. speaker, he has
not a superior;in the nation, as all, who
heard him in his splendid nampaign last
year will readily attest. Mr. Witte bears
a striking resemblance in'face and body
to tbefirst Napoleon-a feature that no one
can fail to be attracted by, on first sight
of the man. He - made-a cool, courteous
and prompt Chairman, and gave entire
satisfaction—a fact much to his credit, for
it, requires extraordinary self-control and
quickness of thought to preside acceptably
aver a . great political convention.
4'3...Sanderson, his manly rival, is the
editWr of the Lancaster intelligence", one
of the olaeil. and moat influential papers
in the country. -Re is said to be the par
ticular friend of Mr. Buchanan, and re
ceived most of his support from the im
mediate personal adherents of that gen
tleman. _Hia appearance is that of a
bland, kind-hearted and intelligent per
son —"one of the olden kind," who alas,
have become too rare.
The speech of Mr. Witte, on taking the
chair, was an exceedingly strong and elcr
queiat efrort, and if the tumultuous cheers
with which it was received, are to be
taken as an indication, received the undi
vided endorsement of everybody present.
We understand that it is to be written
out in full, and as semi as received, we
shall present it to our readers. The Con
vention, after a recess for dinner, pro
ceeded to the selection of Committees on
permanent organization and resolutions.
The representatives from this section, on
the former, were Messrs. Shellito, of Craw=
ford, and James: of Warren ; the writer of
this article was selected as the member
from this Scoatorial district on the Com
mittee on Resolutions. The Committee
cln organilation soon made their report,
which was unanimously adopted, Mr.
White being chosen as the Vice-President
from Erie county.
These proceedings, briefly as we have
I condensed them, occupied the attention
of - the Convention until late in the after
noon, and it - being understood that the
Committee on Resolutions would not be
ready to report for a considerable period,
a general disposition was exhibited to ad
journ until the next day. A delegate
from Philadelphia, believing to the Ca
tholic Church, Mr: Samuel G. Kingg, op
paid this proposition in serptal strong
and earnest speeches. He reminded the
members that the succeeding day was a
holy one lathe calendar, one revered by
Abe' wbOle Christian community--Good
Friday—and argized that it would outrage
the feelings of many pions citizens if the
sittings of the body were held - on that
occasion. • His views were adopted by a
couple other speakers, and finally accepted
by the Convention, which agreed to finish
up its business that night, or adjourn to
Saturday.
I On motion ; of Mr. Hirst, of I:l'biladel
phis, the following order of business was
peed upon:
That the Convention will proceed to
nominate and elect by a viva vow vote:
1. The Chairman of the State Central
Committee.
_2. Two Senatorial wadidates on the
electoral ticket,
3. Font Delegates at large to the Na
tional Convention.
The Convention then toot's :mew,. and
the 'delegate* from each Congressional
'diafriot Co select elector., rein
aentativi delegates to Chiesio, and mem
be4ri of the State Central Committee.
Tltae were . ancitulood iai mils/Alms,
and:in the case of this district were de
cided upon with perfect unanimity.
. Messrs. C. L. Ward, William L. Hirst,
William Bigler, Wm. H. Witte, anti Win.
A. Wallace. were placed in nomination
for Chairman of the State Central Com
mittee - Mr. Wallace, in a modeol , and
neat *pooch, withdrew bis and GiCv. Big
ler's names, and the balloting proceeded.
At the• close of the second ballot, Mr.
Witte's name was withdrawn, and most
of his friends uniting on Mr. Wald, ;that
gentleman•was chosen by a vote of 85 to
35 for Mr. Hirst.
- The selection of Mr. Ward is in all res
pects a most fortunate one for the petty.
and creditable alike on the score of men
tal and personal character. Mr. Ward IN
a resident of Towanda, Bradford , county,
the very hot-bed of Abolitionism in Penn
sylvania. Surrounded by fanaticians of
the most hateful sort, .with ever4laotive
of ambition enticing him to the
other side, he has steadily maintitined.his
consistency through trials andi tempta
tions which would have compelled any
than of less firmness to falter:. His abili
ties are of the-highest type., Hie writings
are distinguished for a liteituy polish and
pointedness which are seldom seen in po
litical productions, and the addresses
vrich will emanate from his pen during
the campaign soon to open, we feel con
fident will take rank with th • mast cele
brated documents that have appeared on
public topics in this nation. We are much
mistaken it Mr. Ward does not prove
himself one of the most active, able and
efficient gentlemen who have ever held
the prominent place of Chair Man of . the
State Central Committee.
The Committee on resolutions had a
protracted session at. the Merchants' Ho
tel, and did not report until late in the
evening'. Their proceedings exhibited an
extensive diversity of opirifon, but were
none the_ less conciliatory and pleasant in
consequence. A large and persevering
peace element prevailed, which was prin
cipally confined to the members from the
counties bordering upon the Maryland
and Virginia line. Several - 'gentlemen
had lengthy sets of resolutions prepared.
but the Committee finally compromised
on a motion to dismiss them all, and
adopted the brief series printed in our
last issue, transferring the
, subjeol of a
platform to the National Convention.
During the interval of the evening see
sion between the meeting of the Conven
tion and the arrival Of the Committee on
resolutions, short speeches were made in
response to calls, by Hon. William A.
Wallace, State Senator from the Clearfield
district; Henry G. Smith, Esq., editor of
the Fultem Democrat, and District Attorney
of Fulton county; Col. James K. Kerr,
Chas. W. Carrigan, Esq., Mr. Witte, Hoist.
L. Johnston, one of the Seriabarial elec.
tore, and Judge McCalmont. Me. Wallace
is a man of thirty or thirty-five years of
age, and bids fair to attain a distinguished
position both as a speaker and Statesman.
His publithed speeches in
~the Senate ere
characterized by, energy, - directness, and
above all, by rare common-,sense. Mr.
Smith was one of the youngest members
of thebOdy, and_he evinced no little em
barrasament on appearing upon the Pre
sident's stand. His effort on this occasion
consequently afforded no opportunity of
judging his merit as an orator, but we
take him to be a man of more than ordi
nary talents for bis age. Of the speeches
of Messrs. Kerr, Carrigan, •Witte and
Johnson, it is sufficient to say that they
fully sustained their reputation., which is
giving the highest praise, to tirm. We
may have been partial, owing' to our per
sonal friendship for the gentleman, but
we thought Col. Kerr's was the best effort
of the evening.
The Cormittee on Resolutions did not
arrive until near 11 o'clock, when 'they
reported through Hon. J. Glancy Jones,
each resolution being adopted without a
dissenting vote and amidst rapturous ap
plause. The one endorsing Gen. McClel
lan was the recipient of the Most enthusi
astic and heartfelt demonstrations we
have everwitnessed, delegates and spec
tators giving cheer after cheer, and mak
ing the very walls of the building quake
by their expressions of delight. Every
mention of the noble hero's name, from
the beginning to the close of the proceed
ings, was the signal for warm and pro
longed applause.
The nominees for Senatorial electors
were Ex-Gov. Bigler, John L. Dawion,
Robert Ewing, of Philadelphia, Robert L.
Johnson, of Cambria, Judge McCalmont,
Vincent L. Bradford, Henry D. Foster,
Richard Vaux, and Wm. 4. Galbraith.
Of these Messrs. Foster, Bigler, Galbraith,
McCalmont and Dawson were withdrawn,
and on the first ballot Messrs. Johnson
and Vaux were elected, having received
nearly all the votes. The former is an
eminent lawyer of Cambria county, a gen
tleman of fine personal appearance, the
purest personal character, and good speak
ing qualities. We believe , he has never
held any office, or asked ens, though re
siding in a county which is firmly Demo
cretin, where he could obtain almost any
publi station' he aspired 'to. Mr. Vans
is a distinguished Ex-Maycir of Philadel
phia, and a person of widespread and
well-deserved popularity. Both these
gentlemen were devoted friends of Judge
Douglas in the campaign of 1860, as in
deed were two-thirds of the electors, de
legates and members of the State Com
mittee.:.
The only remainisg important blueness
was the election of four Senatorial dale.
gates to the Chicago Convention, and
Gen. Geo. W. Cass, of Pittsburgh, Ex. Gov.
Bigler, William A. 'Galbraith, Mon. AN
Packer, of Carbon, Wm. V. McGrath, of
Philadelphia, Gen. T. Jefferson Miles,
Thos. J. Hemphill, and Alfred Gilmore,
all of the same city, were Placed in nom&
nation. The understandiig was that two
should be taken from the Eastern and
two froni the ,Western part of the State.
On the first ballot, Mews; McGrath, C 1...,
Packer and Bigler ware chosen—Mr. Gal
braith having received the complimen
tary vote of 37, though 14 had not soli
cited, the support of any member, - and
was known to be already K representative
delegate. The gentlemen elected are
moldy so familiar to4he People as to rep
quire no eitended not at, our hands.
Gov. Bigler has always been popular in
this section, not only with the Democra
tic partkbut irith many writhe opposition.
He fumOilled many station 'of honor, and
filled them all with credit*, himself and
benefit to the fit Me. Gin. Cass is a red

dent of Pittsburgh. President of the' Fort
Wayne & Chicago Railroad, a gentleman
of great wealth and ability. Tl4 , bas ser f
eral times been a conspicuous candidate
for Governor, and would be 'an efficient
roan in any plablie position. Mr. Packer
was, formerly member of COngress, and
McGrath has served as State Trea
surer several terms, coming out of ;Aloe
with an unsullied name and an exalted
reputation es a financier.-
After the 'Quaternary resolutions of
thanks, the Convention adjourned with
hearty cheers for McClellan and ;the
Union: The Philadelphia Club honored
the members with an elegant enter
tainment after the close of the proceed
ings, which was largely attended by pro
minent gentlemen from every part of the
State.

The Abolitio Abelid n l ise eaderi are incessant in
their pretensions of affection for the ell
diets, but we have all along argued, and
repeatedly -shown by undeniable facts,
that their professions are hollow and 14.
pooritical. They care no further for them
than to obtain their votes, and believing
their schemes to' be so far perfected now
as to secnre - that desirable result, beyond
any uncertainty, they no longer hesitate
to exhibit their real disposition. Au in
cident which happened a few days ago in
the Senate at Harrisburg, may open the
eyes of our gallant brethren 'in theranks
to the truth. " Hr. Hopkins, of Wash
ington county, offered a resolution re
quiring the proper committee to bring in
a bill instructing our Senators and Repre
sentatives in Congress to vote for a law
providing for the payment of non-com
missioned officers and privates in the ser
vice of the Government: in coin or its
equivalent:. This resolution, which wi's
ably advocated by Senators Hopkins. Cly
mer, Wallace and Lamberton, was fiercely
opposed,by the Abolition leaderi--John•
son, Lowiy, Fleming and others—and de
feated by a strict party vote—all the DW
mocrats voting for it, and.all the Aboli
tionist; against it. In it.; place. (bey pro
posed s resolution, merely instructing the
proper iCommittee " to inquire into the
apsAcacti of urging Congress to vote' an
increase of pay to our brave soldiers and
sailors," which was finally passed huani
mousli—that being all the Abolition ma
jority would allow—with an amendment
added, by Mr. Hopkins, (Democrat) that
Toe pay' should not be less than f 52.5
month." , •
When we first read in the New York
World= editorial account of the passage,
of Mrs. J. Todd Waite, a sister of Mrs Linooln, into the 'rebel ' lines ; by way of
Norfolk, carrying with her large quanti
ties of useful articles to the enemies of the
Union,by special permit from the President
we were inclined to beliefe the story must
be au exaggeration, nut imagining that
even Mr. Lincoln could be guilty of so
stupid, not to,call It a traitorous. act. We
have been accustomed to seeing and hear
ing of many unaccountable and silly
things on the part of ortr present chief
magistrate, but that'he could deliberately
consent to assist the rebels, through the
medium of a near relative, armed with a
paniport over his oirn signature, was be
yond our expectation., Subsequent:events,
bowevee;-have proved every word in the
World's statement to be true. The Tri
bune's, loses, and Tunes' Washington cor
respondents belie each made mere or less
allusion to the matter, and their evidence
is confirmed by a dispatch from the same
city which we discover in the Daily News,
a snappish Republican sheet printed in
Philadelphia :
"It is stated in the that informed circles
that Hrs. J. Todd White, the sister of
Mrs. Lick°ln, did pass" through our lines
for Bichmond• via Fortress Monroe with
three large trunks containing medicines
and merchandise, so that the chuckling
of the rebel press over her safe, transit
with rebel uniforms and buttons of gold
were founded ins truth. General Butler is
not wont to be a "respector of persons,"
and it is considered here a legitimate in
quiry why he permitted this woman to
pass to the enemy with her great quantity
of contraband property when be arrests
all others."
