CP" We aerain tender our thanks to the Hon. Job Mann for valuable public docu ments. S-TOur friend, Maj. Marlett, at No. 2, gives a Social Ball on the 19th inst.- We have no doubt it will be a pleasant af fair, and those who are fond of such amusement will do well to attend. As the Major "understands how to make such .things pass off in the most agreeable man ner to all concerned, and is besides a very clever fellow, we feel confident the Ball will bo well attended. CF'It was decided at the Williarnsport Convention that the next Democratic State Convention will be held at Reading on the 9th of June 1851. Tbc Stale To-day we place at our mast head the names of the democratic nominees of the Williarnsport Convention, and in doing so we take pleasure in assuring the Democ racy of Cambria county, th- they are worthy of their warm and enthusiastic support factions It is a ticket around which all can rally as one man, anJ one which is, we are happy to say, capable cr!ote uniting ths enure democratic familv of Pennsylvania. W?i. T. Morrison, of Montgomery county, our candidate for Canal Commis sioner, is a Democrat cf the true Jeffer. soaiaa ecJjooI. Nominated unanimously, he is connected with no faction, nor re garded as having ever belonged to any of the factions which so unfortunately dis trant tfi r.ntniii! nf m?r n.-.rti. lift will units the entire democracy of the State, and be elected by an overwhelming ma jority. He is a farmer by profession, and has represented Montgomery county in thft Legislature of our State during the hsi two sessions. Being intimately ac niintad with our system of public im provements, lis will make one of the most cScient members of the Canal Board. Ve know him personally, 2nd knowing htm as wc do, to be the right kind cf a man, we ask for him tha cordial support of the e'emocracy of this county, and as sure them that ha will be guided in the discharge of his duties by the strict prin ciples of honesty and jusiice. We can- diu'.y acknowledge that we believe him to ;u equal in the State. If he has any patri bs the oiily man in the State, in the prc3- ntisra in his composition, cr any regard for c.:t crbes, around whom the " entire de - n:3cracy could riiy. Vc never witnessed acre enthusiasm than was exhibited bv' the mr.Tt'.irs o! the Cotjvf utjon at th: . . animosity that existed between the parti zans of the several prominent candidates iefore the Williarnsport "Convention was st' ch that if either had been nominated it nxight have proved disastrous to the party, ami we connratujate the demnrmcv nf thn State1 in tiving a candidate against whom not a-sh.igle objection can be urged. We confidently predict that Cambria will give i him a larger majority than she ever before gave any candidate for the same office. Efhraim Ranks, of Mifilin county, the candidate for .Auditor General, is wcl" known to the people of Pennsylvania as being eminently qualified for the office for which he is a candidate He is a man of great experience in public affairs, and we regard his selection for that important office as being very fortunate for Pennsyl vania and the democratic party. IlavirJfy always been an unwavering democrat he has a right to expect, and we frel confj. dent that he will receive the iinrnimouS support of the party. The candidate for Surrey rjS; General, J. Porter Brawley, of Cra' vyfor county, is a practical Surveyor, a g00( democrat, and will make an able r.nj efficient officer. He is well known, to tnc people of Penn sylvania, having ben a member of the House and also the Senate for a number of years. In short the entire ticket is composed of the very best men in the State mei'xvhose democracy is undoubt ed, and '.vhose qualifications for the seve ral offices for which they have been nom inated cannot be denied. No one acquain ted with the political history of the State can for a moment doubt their election by a triumphant majority. EF"The man who wrote that article in the last against us which appeared Johnstown Echo as editorial, will excuse us this week. We may attend to him hereafter, although he is very small pota toes. We did not think that Mr. Smith was capable of permitting such a political scoundrel to use h'i3 columns for the pur pose of venting his spleen against any man, much less to allow his scribbling to appear as editorial. We assure the would be a candidate for Congress that we care nothing about him or anything he may say in relation to us. We will state how ever, injustice to Gen. Joseph M'Donald that our article in relation to him ind the Greensburg Arus, was written without his knowledge, and that he knew nothing about it until after it appeared in print. 11 blaiT? is to be attached to any one for our fiinir but we cannot for the life of us see in what particular we have committed an er. ror, for it is to well known that those who control the Echo sustain a mighty slim character for truth and veracity. But we too can now afford to be magnanimous, and have therefore no disposition to quar rel with any one. Who fays? The portage Railroad is almost deserted at the present time of its officers. From the highest, almost down to the lowest grade have deserted their posts and gone on a political tour to the Williarnsport Lo cofoco Convention, at an expense of near ly ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS per day to the Commonwealth. 1 his is steal ing of he worst character, but it is all right the tax payers pay the piper. llollidays burg trhig. What can the people think of a man having control of a public journal, who would be guilty of uttering such a deliber- and malicious falsehood as the above parrgraj'tii ict a single oaicer on me Portarfc Rar.'road attended the Williams- nnri f!APi.'ion. with the exception of two a car Capt:Jn find a Foreman and one of these acted as ue- te from Mer- cer countv. We know th .? to be a fact, and defy the editor of the JP'tilg to con tradict it. It must be a source of Jegre to all lovers of truth and justice that a man should get control of a paper who i3 capa ble of publishing such a deliberate false hood (for we cannot believe him so igno raut as not to know it to be such at the time,) and who is so totally lost to all sense of honor or shame, as to make his sheet the weekly retailer of the most un blushing calumnies. The editor of the TFTiig has been for some time endeavor ing to prejudice the public mind against the officers of the public works; and in doing so he has pursued a course of the most abandoned character. Stopping at nothing, and always more ready to make use of a falsehood than the truth to accom plish his purposes, he has established for mmseii a character lor lvinir that has not .t'ie welfare of oer good old Commonwealth (which we very much doubt) he would alter his course, for he must know that his ordut i? calcuIi'H tc injur", end we be tune of his nomination. The feelings of lieve has injured the character of ourpub- ho improvements. We sincerely hope that hi sense of religion, for he has some pretentions to that, will induce bim to pay more regard to truth hereafter, abandon a course which is discreditable to himself in uigucsi. ui-gitre, anu assume mat posi tion before the public as a public journal ist which they have a right to expect. Later from the Plains- St. Louis, June o . i.ecent cdrices from Council . Bluffs state that 1 7e California emierants at St. Joseph's, Kanesville, and 'other points, had 'wit 'a few exceptions, left for the Plains. Th-.t first Mormon train, consisting of one 'nundred wagons and between six and e,"r.ht hundred persons, would leave Katies v lie for Salt Lake on or about the 1st instant. Alarming reports relative to small pox and cholera almost daily reached the frontier towns from the emigrants on the Plains. These reports were mostly brought in by emigrants who had become discouraged and were returning, and were not generally believed. A party of six returned emigrants, re, ported that Sullivan's company,- from Brunswick, had, with the exception of three members, fallen victims to the cholera. The California Caravan extended from two hundred to two hundred and fifty miles, and the different trains were al ways in sight of each other. The grass and water was quite abun danfalong the route. On the 27th ult. Kanesville and vicin ity was visited by a tremendous storm un roofing several houses and doing much injury to the timber. The crops were nutsufncient.y advanced to suffer. No lives were lost. More of the Cuba Affair- The Charleston Courier publishes a letter frcm Havana, which states that som convicts whom Lopez liberated at Car denas, refused to join him, and the depar ture of the expeditionists was hastened by tneir observing the country people flocking in with hostile demonstrations. The Government has declared the is land in a state of blockade, but it is be lieved that merchant vessels, in a lawful trade, will meet with little if any incon venience. In the fight of Cardenas, a company (f lancers, who charged on the troops of Lopez, were all killed. Lopez had possession of Cardenas 1G hours, when reinforcements cf troopsfrom Matnnzas arrived. The fighting then commenced in earnest. The expeditionists had 30 killed and wounded, and the Spaniards from 100 to 150 killed and wounded. They contin ued fighting and retreating until the ex peditionists gained the steamer Creole and sailed. The Creole was followed by the Spanish steamer Pizarra. Lieut .Jones of Alabama, one of the wounded who received a ball through his right side, is at Key West. Another letter, giving an account of the landing and fight, says that when the exped.tionists were within six yards of the Governor's house, they were attacked with a shower of bullets from the tops of the houses, and piazzas, which wounded Cols, 'heal and O'Hara, and many men, though none mortally. The expeditionists returned the fire with great spirit. The battle lasted one hour, when a white flag was shown from the. Governor's house. JSoon after, in the confusion, sev eral citizens renewed the firing, when the Expeditionists set the house m fire, compelling the governor to syrrender, with his staff and 100 men in all, who were placed in the barracks. The Expeditionists remained in quiet possession of the city until evening, with the exception of Lopez and his staff and Captain Logan of Kentuck", with 25 men who went on board the Creole at this jucttire, when two hundred lancers and cavalry made their appearance and resumed the fight, which lasted nearly an hour. Twelve of the Expeditionists were killed and wounded, including Capt. Logan, who died subsequently on board the Creole. The Spaniards" all lassoed except 12. So says our dispatch. Capt. Smith was slightly wounded Quarter Master Lexias, of Mississippi who was wounded, has since died. h. Hawkins, of Kentucky, was seriousi'; wounded. One of Lcnez s stall is wounded, and another missing. Southern Manufactories. The rapid increase of cotton faclo'Ties at the South is evidence most gratifying of our increasing prosperity. It is esti mated that Georgia has in operation forty cotton mills, using 60,000 spindles and consuming 45.000 bales of cotton annual ly. In Tennessee thirty factories and 30,000 spindles. South Carolina sixteen factories, 36.500 spindles and 700 looms, consuming 15,000 bales cotton. Alabama twelve factories, 12,580 spindles and 300 looms, consuming 5,500 bales cotton. Thus, in four States, we have 98 lactories, besides, those in process of building, working 110,000 spindles," consuming probably 75,000 bales cotton, and if they go on increasing for the next five years as they have, for the past five, we may calculate on some 200 cotton mills in op eration in the Southern States, consuming annually over 200,000 bales cotton, and giving employment to some thirty or forty thousand operatives. Here, we have one of the mam pillars of Southern inaepen-dence. DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. SENATORIAL DELEGATES AND DISTRICTS. 1st. Philadelphia city Michael Mc Ninney, Daniel Haviland. 2d.

Mr. Hickman, of Chester, made a stats raent to the Convention, in reference to the qualifications and claims' of Jtr&oj Strickland, for the office of Canal "Cob missioner, and thanked the delegates-' Vfjo had supported him, for their votes, but declined withdrawing his name as a caa. didate. . , ' Mr. Johnson, of Lancaster, then rose and stated to the convention, that bribei had been offered to delegates to obtain their votes, and charged that corruption of the grossest kind could be proved against certain individuals whom he. did not nan:. Upon being pressed to do so, he referred to Mr. Donahue, of Philadelphia county, to substantiate his statement, whereupoa the delegate alluded to appeared before the convention, and threw tlown upon the table in frojit of the President, eighty dol lars, saying, "there the money is. I des pise it.' Anot?ier delegate, Mr. Gieen, also from Philadelphia county, announced aloud that he had also received one'hun dred dollars from the same source. T"hes statements threw the convention into the utmost confusion and excitement; and a motion to appoint a committee to' investi gate the whole matter was adopted with out objection. I he committee consist! ot Messrs. Coyle, Plumer, Stokes, Frai ley and Bailey. 1 he Convention thea adjourned until 8 o'clock to-morrow. THIRD DAY. Friday May 31. Upon the meeting of the Convention, this morning, it was found that the com mittee appointed last evening to investi gate the charges of corruption and bribery preferred by Mr. Johnson, was not pre pared to report. The order of business, that of balloting for Canal Commissioner, was therefore postponed, and the selection of a State Committee made, consisting of twenty-four, by the Delegates of "the res pective Congressional districtsa'nd seven residing in or near Harrisburg, by the officers of the Convention. A Correspon ding Committee oi three, was also ap pointed by the delegates, for each county of the State. The convention then ad journed until 2 p. m. AFTERNOON SESSION. The committee appointed last night to investigate the bribery and. corruption charges, made report in writiug, fully ex onerating all the candidates from any im proper conduct or interference with the delegates, but denouncing in the severest terms two persons, Messrs. Ranken and Ovenshine, of Philadelphia, who, it was proved, had attempted to corrupt dele gates, by paying them money to influence their votes. The report," aftet a warm debate, was adopted unanimously. The Convention then proceeded to .vote for a candidate for Canal Commissioner, as fol lows: BALLOTS. 22d 23d 24th 25th 26ih 55 54 50 35 34 31 , 29 15 4 23 27 28 , 20 13 6 8 13 42 106 10 9 10 15 1 1 1 1 Ilubley, Strickland, Vansant, Morrison, Martin, Creswell.
