Reading, June 4, 1838.
Since I wrote you-my Inisty note last evening, vast
numbegof additicinal 'delegate's leiVe'hrii;'etif They
poured inducing the night and this morning frorn
sections of the state; each : bearing tladlislings' as to
the highly flattering prospecp of the triumph of,oui•
candidate and ourcause. There are now upwards'of
twci-thoUsand-delegates - presentv . allftnithated - with - th e
saine - patrietie feeling and ardor to sustain the honor
'and interests of Pennsylvania, anti all firmly united in
their esertions and determination to secure the r 6.
election of GovCrnor Rioter by a triumphant majority.
The great multitude of young men attending our cOlt
vention—the confidence which is felt and expressed
-by the Whole bf this immense asSembhige as to the
tritintph.ot our; principles. - the approaching clec
tion—anitthe ?cal, intelligence, patriotism, and pub'-
lie spirit which it embodies—have stricken terror in
to the ranks of the. young loco foco Porter and 'Van
Buren mcnOflierllZand Soinv f the adjoining coon
ttr_day,inAlte,
vain huipe of out-numbCring us! Some of thnnaTeonfi
dent as they were of electing Porter,tecause they re-
I side in the strong4mild of yoWßurciiistii; and tancied
: that other sectiotis of the state were tinctured in like
manner, are now cbnstrained to admit that they have
been grossly deceived in relation to public sentiment
in other quarters, and thatioseph Ritner will be re
elected'in despite of all -opposition. .
About half paSt 9 this morning, the- delegates met
in great numbers in front of Kendall's - Hotel, where.
Urd - Germultank - whictraccompnied - th - Philatlel --
phia delegation to this phice;was stationed. After a
little' time, the bond stiuck up a sprightly dnd aniiitat-4
mg tote, and tliealegates inlinediately - formed in
procession ten men tleep: They then nutrofted . thro'
some of the principal streets, preceded by the music,
forming an immense and imposing train, to the Lu- .
theran chtirch, which had betn kindly tendered for
the use-of the convention. .:fitis spacious and beauti-
ful edifice, which is, said to accommodate. abouttiiree
thousand persons, was soon filled to overflowing with
the delegates, and a few' others who happened to get
squeezed iu amongst them. The convention Was call
ta
ld-to-ordck, and tempohtrily ofnized by the ap
ointment-of-George-M.-Barelay,-!.sq;-of_Berkhot.
chairman; and Alexander W. roster; Jr.•orAllegh-e--
Walter C. Livingston, E,sq. of Lehigh; and Theo.
Fenn, of Dauphin, as secretaries.. The names of the
different counties were then called, when it appeared
that not:less than forty'of them were . represenved
at
this busy, season of die yeari and when it is borne in
'mind; that-the convention-was-called,to_neet_atthis
place more for the convenience of the eastern and mid
than the northern and western counties, it 'was a
matterofastonishment-to-many-of usOltat-there-was
such a full and enthusiastic representation from every
section of our . extensive commonwealth: A., commit
tee Was appointed, consisting of one' delegate; from
each coulay, for the purpose-of selecting officers to
preside, and the convention adjMisoed to 3, P.
P..ll:—Theconvention met 'at the
appointed hour, Widt a,considerahle accession Of mem
hers who had arrived Since the adjournmcnt.'. The
delegates marched in protessifin to the church, as
they did in the morning, preceded by the_etcellent
_ band from Philadelphia - , which animated every ho=
som with the captiVating 'strains of their martial Mu

THE VOLUNTEER'S • STATEMENTS. It

large packages of the. Western Democrat, a German

We have made enquiry; and find lids statement to bp
entirely without the shadow Of . truth!
They now state that a German paper is being start
ed-in this county,- to be .cirimlated gratufausly. : `D:
assertion' that the German paper is to be. circulated.
gratuitously, it entirely dezioid of truth, and intended
to injure the young man who has immneuccil busi
ness in the town its a•German printer. We learn that
the subieriptimi price to the German paper, will be
One dollar a yeon , , Ini:yaba . haltyearly in' advance.
The Volunteer,and its supporters appear to have be

the vote given for Governor 3 years . ;go,Nihiclt slaows ,
that the united vote of Wolf and MurdelthErg ieas
about
. 12,000 niorwthan the number given Governer
Ritner. They concede the fact that Governor Ritncr
received more-votes than was evergiven to a single
man in the state, and that had Mr MuhlCtiberg been
out of the field, Govei.nor Ritner would havereceived
a large share of the votes cast for him. .
Every person knows that NlrMulderthorg's friends
were ashostile to_Wolf.as to Either, and nore. ao,
and that they used the very arguments to prostrate
Wolf that the Atitimascins used. Is it to be expected
that - the independent friends of Mr MAlenberg will
fall into the -support of Mr Porter, who is identified

they can, either by fair or foul-mean - % although they
well know that the great body of the people are most
'decidedly, opposed. to it. It was to ktve been called
