THE, STATE- -CONVENTION AND
"ITS WORK.
It is seldom'any political party enters
a campaign - under more • favorable cir
cumstances, than those which surround
• -us as we begin the present' one. , The
• ' -State convention, held last"week, was
largely 'attended, and an unusual inter
est manifested in its labors. The ut
most harmony prevailed,. and all neembers.
of the party express their entire satisfac
tion at the result.. The candidates nom
inated, are in all respects, worthy of the
honor conferred upon them, and their
• records will appeal jstrongly -fpx the sup
- - -port of all good citizens of the Btate.
Dr. Stanton isle resident - of New
Brighton, Beaver county, and is a son'
uf, the late • Dr. Benjamin Stanton, of
' ' • •••C: Be was born in 1828, and when
twenty-one years of ago 'removed to his
present • place of reaidento and
corn
meneed the practice of metlicine, , a pro- .
fessiOn•he • ds , still actively and profitably ,
engaged in,_his evidences' of merit and
qualifications being apparent in diplonias
from the Cleveland Medical College and
the . University of Pennsylvania. In
, August, 1861, he entered the service of
his country as surgeon of the let Penn
_sylvania • Cavalry, and was connected I
with the Army of the Potomac until pro- .

. ` to he resigned, in December, 1865, he
acted as Superintendent of Bespitals,
and tieassistant and acting Medical DiP:.
rector of the Northern Department, on
thentaff of Gene. Heintzolmau and
s, Hooker. In 1864 he was. breveted lieu
' tenant colonel, and in 1865 was made
brevet colonel. The Doctor is of Quaker
descent, was an old time Abolitionist,
and is a near relative of the lamented
Secretary of War Stanton, to whoin ho
has a strong personal resemblance.'
- Col. Robert B. Beath was born in the
Third ward of the city of Philadelphia.
January 26, 1839, of Scotch parentage.
He served an apprenticeship with Merrick
Sons,, at their great Southwark foun
dry. He enlisted from there as private,

the Third ward ; was afterwards - in
charge of Post Office 'station D,l add
about four years ago went to Schuylkill'
county, where he has ever since been
engaged as bookkeeper in: one of the
largest collieries:
The platform on which these 1 two
gentlemen have been. planed, and'sihinh
they fully ‘ 'endoisn; is an admirable one.
It expresses, fully, the voice of the Re
publicans of Pennsylvania, and is one 9u
which they are cordially united. Its
expressions are unequivothil, and fully
indicate the designs and intention of the
party, in the future. With such candi
dates, and. such a . declanitiou of prinni'-
ples, we can safely go before the people
of the State, and have the assurance, in
advance, that we will .achinvii a trium
phant victory.
ViLLANDIGIUM plays a new card. In
n ascent speech ho declared in favor of ,
recognizing the results of the war, and
accepting the amendments to the con
stitution at a final settlement of all- the
issues that grew out of. the institution
Of slavery. Ho announces himself, and
his party, at ready to take a new de
parture, and invites all good RePubliCans
to jointhem on the living ISSMCS of the
day. '
The:.followitig extract will give the
new platform of the Ohio Democrat,: in'
his own words : ,
That'which, since 1808, .has been but
a question of time, is now upon us:
The auspicious moment, the tide' in the
affairs of men to be taken at the flood,
has now in my judgment reached us,
when the Democratic party of to•day,
laying aside the 'weight and shaking
from it the dead body Of the pist, yet
adhering' to its ancient principles, can
and must, at one bound place itself upon
the vantage ground of .the present, mid
defy its foes to battle upon the living is-'
sues of the hour. It lit the -purpose of
these - resolutions to establish the Demo
cratic party of Montgomery, coenty
openly upon this film and impregnahle
basis. • Tacitly and hi fact, we. have

HARRISBURG LETTER,
ILiniusurita, Nay 21, 1971.
Every thing connected with Legisla
tive matters, is in is delightful state of
uncertainty and' confusion. Every ono
had hoped that to-day would bring the
final adjournment of the Legislfiture,
and close of a very unprofitable, and
in some respects, disgraceful session.
But these hopes have been disappointed,
and although the session is, doubtless,
near at end, there appears to be no defi
nite indications as to the exact time it .
may close. Three days, or three weeks
May be consumed with the present tac
tic; and there are as many chances On
the one-as the other.
It must not be supposed that-the delay
arises from the desire, to complete any
. important unfinished business. There
is a good deal of that - on hank to be
sure, but if ,the session should last ,until
next January, it would receive no atten
tion. The trouble simply arises fromilie
attempetof ,the...:Bonate to coerce the:.
Hot* into adopting, the Senate amend
..mmits to thp-RegiAry Act, and OM „re
fosar of the HOMO to, be is .coereed..
On Saturday last, after HO 'appropria
tion bill had been sent, to the committee
of conference, and every.ono, was jubi
lant over the prospect of immediate ad
jonilintent, the Demooratic majority in
the . 4enate determined to lash tiro House
into - otedieuce to itk demands, and went
to work 'accordingly. It first passed a
resolution to adjourn finally to-clay. It
then introduced a resolution, which, af
ter reciting a variety of unconstitutional,
arbitrary and discourteous 'proceedings
On the part of the House, discharged all
conference committees from the bills now
before them. This action, of courke,
discharged the committee Of conference,
on the appropriation bill, and allowed,
the bin to fall. The Republicans, after
'prOtesiitig ank voting against this revo
lutionary contluct, determined, that so
the as the adjotirnment was concerned,
the Demoaracy should be, fake!' at their
word ; and if the, to'kill the ap
propriation bill, they would let, them go )
to the people wiflt that record. So, after
'Saturday's worn in the Senate; it w.ts a
sure thing that if the Dentoeracy stood
up-th their record, piers would be an ad,
journment, withmit any provision being
made to carry on the Govcronowt fur
the coining fiscal year.
Monday evening'essession was looked
forward to with very considerable inter:
est, every one speculating on the proba
bilitie:Vor the Senate showingl.lic.white

. . ,
fixed, and proceeded to' business. Jii"
tho Satiate, Mr. Iliudcalew, called up the
bill to provide for the calling of a Con
stitutional Convention, ;put amenduit it,
by sitiiply providing for the talsing of, 0
vote on the sub,Vect, at the next ueneral
eleetion. The.ltepUblicatis opposed tbe
'ainatdrueitt, beeanse 1L tended to delay
.
the calling of a Convention, whereas the
bill; 'as originally 'reported,. provided for
thd calling of one immediately,' The
Dennieraey, haVing s fixed the
thing , in thitt shape; and determined that
they would go no further in the matter,
after the aniendinerit' had been made,
the. bilb passed unanimously: Afier , this
the Senate adjourned., '

Mr. Eriett, from the committee on
resolutions, medo the following report
Theltepublicaitkof penUsYlVania,_as-'
sembled in convention; 4leclaro that
1. They demand of the,Legislatute.the
immediate passage of, ant act calling a
State.. Conitention; to •rovisei and amend
the Constitution ror the ntiriiose, among
other things,- of . '- • -

2. They cleici;lid of Congress that the,

the steady; hilt fidt too:lnpid,!extinction
of the:national .debtl; the'Lhonor :of the
republic sustained at home and abroad ;
the rights of Ovary num",protected in all
;the • States, and every • Juan, entitled
thereto, secured in the polling of ono
vote, anctithenore, at'each electida.
.' 8, They de4lare their unalterable at
tachment to the: principle of protection
to home industry in the levying of tariff
duties, in accordance with - the Wiss pol
icy which has existed froni the founda
tion of the government.tothis time.
4. They commend the 'Policy of re
trenchment and wholesome enforcement
of the laws, which has prevailed since
the 'election of General Grant to the
Presidency, and which has resulted in
the first tVro years of his administratibil
In reduoing the national • debt odes two
hundred millions, and in "tairtalling the
taxes to the extent 6f eighty millions an
nually. They commend, also, the simi
lar policy which has prevailed under
Itepublical•tile in Pennsylvania, result
ing in paying off the war debt of three
and a half milliOns ; reducing the State
debt from forty millions to thirty ; and
in abolishing the State tax on real estate.,
It is to the fact that both the State and
;nation lnv`e been in Republican
we owe themccomplishMent'qf such gnat-'
Vying resultA ;• and it is te -the continu
ance of that party in power, the people
ranstsalone - look for the cot - 16131mile° of
this policy. The return of She Demo
.,iwatarto', power in either State" or nation,
must ineritably be attended 'with 'a re
turn to extravagance in expenditures,
to the iinpairment of State anti national
'credit, and to the abandonment of-that
protection to tree labor under our
industry has thriven -atid our people been
made prosPeroust
5. That iii the judgment 'of: tiffs ,Con
ventipn, ;the time has 'comb when th'e
State tax on personal estate may be
safely abolitihed, and the'' other taxes,
imposed by State 'laws, may also pru
dently be reduced without injury to the
eredit'of the - Ceminonwealth..
6. That as an - indication of what the
people :may fear front a return of the
Democratic Party to power, we point to
the criminal waste of the time and money
of the people by the present Democratic
majority of the State Sonate. The Leg
islature has been now nearly - five Months
.in rossion, midis not yet nearly trirangli
with its legitimate business, owing to the
obstyncti're policy of this "majority. In
al; this time scarcely a single measure of
yablic interest has beenTerfected,Laficl the
time has been wasted in their efforts to
force on our. State an - fMjust apportion
ment,:and to break down the registry
law, against •illegal:;Noting,- that they..
might tfinreby.pave the way to their re
turn to, power throngh - viojence .and

cresting entertainments in Itheern's
Hall, on Tuesday afrdilloon and evening,
the sixteenth instant. .Large and brit:
liant amlienees visited them, to witness
these little "Wig wonders," who are
gifted with great talent. The — Cfnumo:
done, in his appearance- on the stage,
particularly in the . Lanciers, is enough
to malce a maMburst with laughter,
is - a champion dalicer. The little fairy,
in the act of " Captain Jinks," in 'NH
costume, is worth, alone, double the
price - of admission.
They are accompanied by. their father,
Mr. D. Nestle, who has them under his
own control. The audience was de-
ighted to see him carry his little (laugh
ter, (a young Miss of 18 summers,)
through the audience, standing on his
outstretched hand. This - proves the
powerful muscle of the father, and the
dhninutiveness of the slaughter, who
only weighs 197 pimnds, They are
accompanied by One of their sisters, Miss

SUMN AM nui.NN.-011 Thursday nigh
last, shout 2 o'clock, Mr. Benjamin
'Stow, Fineman t, the Pine Grove Iron
\Vmks, walked out of a window on the
second story of the Union House, in
this place, Louis Zit zer, proprietor.. The
following are the facts of the case as re
lated to us : Mr. S. had been dreaming
of walking in a flower garden, and while
so doing, got up in his sleep, removed a
number of flower puts that were stand-
Lling on theVindow, and Walked or rather
fell out ; falling a distance of at least 20
feet, landing at the bottoin of a flight
of ,st nirs leading into the balement, and
daninging the balustrade in his descent.
Upon striking the pavement lie was
thoroughly aroused, and cried fur help,
when INh'i Zity, t ec went to his sssistanco,
and after considerable difficulty, (Mr.
Stout being a 'man of largo proportions,
weighing fully 200 pOunds,) succeeded
in carrying him to his room powerless, and
very nervous from the Wads of the fall.
Mr. Zit.= furnished him with stimulants,-
which served to case his sufferings, so
that lie fell asleep, and rested well
until ibout, 5 o'clock a. m.
.111 r. 8, sustained severe injurl6, and was
unable to walk or.holp himself. Ire was
conveyed to the South Mountain depot
in the afternoon, and placed on the train
for Pine Grove, since time no tid
ings of him hava been received,
About three years since, a gentleman
stopping at this same hotel got up in his
sleep, and-walked out of one`of the win
dais on the isecQud door, sustaining
'nerdy a sprain of ono of his ankles.

A dAtuana.: Boy.—Tho following par

Ciulata•on Kelps, of - the Sixth instant, as
Lam M. SoneS, 'one of.thb parties
referred to was, prior to braking up . his
abode in'the Far West, a citizen of this
place. It is as follows -
"The little misunderStanding for sonic
time past existing between Mr. L. M.
Jones, of Elizabethtown, and Mr. John
Mcßride, of Ute Creek, resulted in a
shooting affair last Sunday morning. As
Mr.. Jones wee riding along in the vici
nity of Elizabethtown, at 7 o'clock,. lie
was waited for by his opponent, and the
,fifst intimation ho recoived.of the attack
was a shot from a carbine, which struck
his horse and brought him to the ground.
While the gallont steed lay uipthing in
the agonies of death, . Mr. Mcßride, see—
ing his advantage, came forth from •his
andinsh, and, when within three or four
feet from Jones, fired two shots at him
neither of Which took effect. By a bril
liant flank Movement, Mr. Jones .extra:
eated himself from his unpleasant posi
tion, and assumed the offensive. There
upon, Mr.. Mcßride, seeing that the
,encounter was likely to terminate dis
astrously to - him, retreated at, a rapid
- pacor.at - the same time eloquently plead—
ing for his life after this fashion : "For
God sake, Jones, don't shoot I" Whether
this very modest request would have been
complied with 'or not; 'We' drilla say,
for by the time MN : jives was ready, to:
take an naive part itnihe engagement,
Mr. Mcßride. had retired beyond the
range, of light artillery. -

.patty gave, the affair the apPearance,of a
race, rather than a fight ; and our re

seated in a buggy, driving down South
Hanover. street, • the . spirited animal
became frightened by running over a
cow, and started off at
, a quick gait.
One of the gentlemen made good his
escape, in the vicinity of - Pomfret
street; but the other gentleman was
not so fortunate. The lines slipping
out of his hands, the animal started off
very lively, while thl occupant lustily
cried out " whoa, whoa," but of no
avail. She kept onward, in a due line
south, passing- over the bridge and
through the trillgatc, safely, gaining c6n
siderable- time in the "last stretch,"
and finally " brought up" again a pass

no lives-were lost in this exciting ride.

LANDLORDS, PEWAnii:.- . -Mn Friday
morning last, a young gentleman, of
preposessing, appearance, entered one of
our principal hotels, and registered the.
following name: A. JI. Biggston, Ox
ford, Pa. After eating a hearty dinner,
he Went out• in search of employment,
stating that he was a coachmaker by
trade, and returned in the course of an
hour or two, having in his possession a
square box, which, he placed in charge of
the gentlemanly clerk, and said that, IM
had obtained emptoyment at Nagle ik
Smeltz's coach factory. After taking
his supper, ho started out, and hits' not
been heard of.
The next morning the landlord "went
for" the box, imagining that it might
contain some infernal machine, or per
haps, nitro-glycerine. But in this lie
was mistaken ; for 10, and behold, the
box contained grass and gravel. Our
exchanges will please pass the gentleman
around, as he may be attempting to
" raise the wind," by the same dodge,
elsewhere. Look out for hide, landlords !

practical printer, having some 14 years
since established the Journal, and suc
cessfully conducted the same untilt feN,v
months prior to his death, when lie t is_
posed of it, thinking to take - advantage
of his freedom, from the busy cares of a
newspaper life, and thus be enabled to
