THE STATE A UNIT.
The New York delegation in tliti National
Convention at Chicago, will be a , unit in favor
of SavrVoythe Presidency ; New Jersey,
will.b 11. unit foilirumsst L. DAYTON; Ohio
for S' P. CHASE, and Missouri for EDWARD
DATES. Shall Pennsylvania present herself
at Chicago its a unit for Oen. CAMERON ?Sd
far as Cumberland county is concerned, ,..
the
• late Convention has settled that question, by
the Unanimous adoption of the following rem
' lution's . .;
• Rho!yea!, That Wit. $, IhwiN, our delegate
• to the State Convention, be instructed to vote
for the Hon. SIMON CAMERON as our first
choice for the Presidency, and that he be in:.
atructed to rote for the appointment of dis
trict delegates to:the Chicago Convention by
the State Conyention, in 'order that the State
may appear as a unit, and exercise the weight
• and moral force in it which her greatness anyl
position entitle her to.
. This is the True position for Pennsylvania
in the Notional Convention, without which,
her strength would be divided and her lnflu•
enco disregarded. Are know there are many,
who advocate the selection of delegates by
separate Congressional Districts; but'we hope
they will not press this policy on the Conven
tion. The position of Pennsylvania, on'the
doctrine of a Protective Tariff; het; State
pride, and the Interests of the party, all point
to . ,Gan. CAMEILONIIS her nominee; and if wise
counsels prevail, her delegation to Chidago
will present a united4rtint,iin.,his favor, in
stead of frittering away her vote among four .
or five aspirants for that high office.
THE SENATORIAL CONFERENCE
' The, Senatorial Conferees, which met, at
Newport, last, fall, to Uominate a. candidate
.for,Steto Sentitor, took the responsibility, for
the piMpose of harmonizing conflicting
eats, to nominate Mr. McCoy, of Mifflin comi
ty, as the Senatorial delegeto `to "the State
Convention... The late County Convention re
fused to recognize the 'notion of the Confer;
once, in'regard to the Negittii, Bud , therafore
appointed Conferees, to meet Similar Cecile
rees, from the other counties composing this
Senatorial -District,'-for the purpose of select
ing a delegate to represent this district in the'
State Convention.
This course, on the part of our County
Convention, was eminently wise and proper.
It would e a bad precedent, to allow Sena
torial Conferees to go beyond the line of. their ,
legitimate duties, in.ppointing a delegate to
a State Convention not yet called, and over
• whose course, enbaequent.County Conventions
could exercise no control.. Mr. McCoy ie, no
doubt, a good man, against:whom "no objec
tion can be urged; except that of en. illegal
appointment.; and whether or''ncit'he will
claim his seat in the Convention, in virtue of
such appointment, remains to ho seen. We"
learn that at' the Senatorial Conference hold
at Newport, on the 16th instant. 'A BRADT
SHARP, Esq. ; of this place, was duly appoint
ed the delegate to represent this district in
the Conventlon,:and the wisdom of this course
is wpparent, from the fact that , Mr. ilcdey'- ' +'
would go s 'info'the State Convention, indepen
dent: of any instructiona from our County Con
vention, whereas Mr:Sharp is bomb! equally,
with Mr. t Representativehe Delegate,
not only on the Presidentia:qocation, tint aleo,. •
in the nomination for Governor, as, will be
seen by the following resolution,:whieh' we's
passed unanimously by the bite County Can-,
vention :•

THE STATE CONVENTION.
—The PeOple's Statp Convention, meets to
nt Harrisburg, and' we hope thelr
detiber
atione will be characterized by wisdom and'
prudence.. We are on the eve of an iMportant .
politioal atingialgo; in' which .we must work
earnestly if we - would succeed.
As Col, Cuitin will be a prominent candi
date before. the Convention, fur the office

that lie gets his head combed witli a three

neglects his toilet- until he returns home
again. Ile is n jolly brick—hi so full of fun

si•ctiott into the St. Vitus's dance, and is the
central figure of every gathering of good fel.

State, and will run like greased lightning. Ile
will be nominated in the People's Convention
on the 22d inst., on the first or the second
ballot, and will he elected by 90,000." ,
A FREE - BANKING LAW
The subject of a Free Bunking Law, is now
before the Legislature, and the.Beleot Com=
mittee, to wham the matter was referred, hero
reported a bill.
Under its provisions, three or more persons
msy obtain a' charter for banking purposes,
on apptkatidu to the Court of the •propel
county witere'ir is proposed to locate the
bank. The minimum of capital stock of any
bank is fixed at $5OOO, and the maximum
'at sl,ooo,ooo—each and every increase of
stock to be approved *the Court of the.pro
per county; the term of flie charters is fixed
at twenty years, the articles of association to
be deposited in the Auditor General's office,
and to be advertised four times ioCal
•
newspaper. •
The ,Auditor tieneral is required to furnish
notes in bleak; of uniform device, counter
tigned, numbered, and registered in his office,
in books kept for that purpose, osch note to
be stamped " secured by:deposit of Public
Stock."
Public Stocks, or bonds 'either - of this Stnte
of the United Slates, aro to be deposited
amount equal to the notes issuetror np-
12 00
20 00
plied for. .
Tho directors of such banks must be eiti•
zens of Pennsylvania, and own.. not less than
ono per cant. of the capital stock, such, stock
to be free of Pcumbrance. Tho 'shares arc
tifixed at $5O each, and no shareholder can be
paid any dividends while heor'she is 11 .debtor
to tile banksuch dividends so belongingbe
ing't•equired to be 'repined in payment of
such PdegtedOss. .
Tliese ate ftkio , f m it T iniportant features of
the _bill, which, if it lroul d —recomo a law,
would, no doubt, be popultir. It giveS addi•
t ional efifo-guards against. counterfeiting,
prefects the people frOm irrespoysibie Mock=
holders, and secures innocent note-holders
against the possibility of loss. .

A. QUERY.—The Democrat of, last week'
Asks the following question!
"Why were these resolntiona not publish•
ed by the Herald and Anierican?'
We Will answer theDentocrat; iftheedttor
will intarnkrue why he published in:the pro.

not swollow_end tberefore,voted &Wel '
To 'the lion. U. F. Junklo• . C.,
• -. •
Dekn Stn—l takd the liberty of addressing
to you , .11 few thoughts on . the subject of a
Homestead Law'by Congress. In my humble
opinion; no,good could comp dut of such a
measure, to those for whose benefit it is in,
tended; but'a great deal of wrong to the me.'
ritorioits , part i of the community. . • ' •
Thbro is not now .a single poor man in the
country.desiring land. but could got it; and
.
it would be a groat wrong to give land to the
worildeei, withoiat, also giving them ,horsett,
wagons,-ehock!' hired . help, whiskey, piptM
and tobacco." Thirty yeard ago, I began life,
on nothing, except a, will to work. work.
at hireling's wages, lower thou than now,
while all expenses were greater. I married,
and then taught school until 1 rented a farm.
I did my own work, and had leave to stay on
the same farm, because I was punctual iu all
my engagements, and was as careful of the
owner's ititervsts as I was army own. After
live years, I moved On a farm of My own and
The tenant who succeeded moiny Lie carelesa
nevi, soonwrediiced lite farm. to ruin,•and the
landloEd, in disgust, sold the farm to' get clear
,of such tenants; that same tenant, after twenty-
three Years, is as Poor as Ito was itt:lirat,'while
I, with no better chance than he bad, have
become what is called rich. I have had nogooit
luck : except such as any cinema) , hove, who
will work. and practice •economr.' I. could
name 'others, who started as Z did • and have
Inicceeded, as well - as others' who hive not ;
but, in every case of failure, there is, a fault :
lock of energyonoispenttitne, or intemperanOe.
An. idea has somehow got abroad, that a
public man, to be pepular, must make a fuss
in favor o f the poor. My opinion is that all
men should be used justly ; and to do that, is
to protect all against fraud of eve'et•kind.—
Let every man make his bargain, end then
make laws to enforce ,thetn. There ought to
be no law giving $3OO as a bribe to be a
vtl
ban, or to invite him to abuse the' mon who
gave•him,bread, when he asks hitt` pay.
Ott the subject of the 'public lands, if arty;
legislation ie needed, it is to compel the pur
chaser to improve, At least, ono dwelling on
every section, or less portion whioh he may
enter, within a certain number of yeerfi, p.r
forfeit it. Such a measure would at once
stop land 'monopoly: Capitalists, then, in
stead of buying lands, would lend their means
on mortgage to actual settlers. The • oapital
the country would thin Uo emproyed•lln
improving the, country, instead of being a
e
barrier to, the of our old or now,
lands. Every poor man who -wants land, if
deemed honest and' industrious, can get from
the rich as much land se he needs, but there
are some whb would rather go to the Poor
House, than think of sustaining themselves on
land, even if. it was stocked and planted to
.their hand. "The truth is, you Cannot, make
men rich' by enacting laws ; and all 'can be
'above want, if they obey the•dictaths of com
mon sense. Some must be dependent • Itrill
not.
Lam glad you have, at last, elected a Spea
ker; I hope Congress will.do no foolish thing
ihis—seseion_; t_till_b_e_t_e
manly, no pairing off except by sick-men; every
.on acting from a sense of truth and justice.
No-danger of secession, but still do the South
or.the Constitution. no wrong.

The Slate Normal School
The Legislature, last week, visited the State
Normal School: at" Millersville, Lancaster co.
Wickersham, on behalf of the trustees
and faculty,'extended a ipost cordial welcome
to the members, and the other guests present.
From a report of the proceedings „and'
speeches ou the occasion, in the Philadelphia
North American, we extract the following:
Itev. Dr. Collins, 'President •of Dickinson
- College, Carlisle, was next introduced, and
made g brief and eloquent speech, - remortable.
for its force and purity of diction.. Ile felt
gratified that an opportunity was afforded him
of visiting the State Normal School. Although
he was not on old man, teaching had beet, his
vocation for n quarter of a century, and he -
tlffiught he had sonic knowledge of its requite
ment& The Common Schools are the pride of
the Commonwealth, and deserve all the foe
tering care that can be bestowed upon them.
In looking through the school to day, he was
instructed, interested• and delighted, and re
ferred to the system of instruction pursued,
as meeting his entire and hearty approbation.
He was not , ashamed to confess that. ho had
some doubts as to the propriety. of this Nor
mal School, but being in Harrisburg reQcntly,
and meeting with the State SuperintendenT,
Mr. Hickok, he had the'machinery pf the sys•
tem thoroughly unfolded to him, and lie at once
saw how harmoniously all worked together.
He Would now, if he bad the 'power, establish
Normal Schools In every section Q 4 the State.
