TIIE DEMOCRACY AROUSED!! aerce, to within our power, or witbin our province, welcome, as v?e do with our whole soul, Catha- nnt Hayes one of the greatest vocalists of the to these shores, to follow in the footsteps 4f her sister syren, Jenny Lind, in a triumphant professional career. Catharine Hayes has passed the Rubicon or rich discriminating, critical audiences as Dub lin, Edinburgh, London, Paris, Milan, and Rome; t ll which capitols she accomplished triumphs of the highest nature. She is published to ap pear in concert, under the special patronage of Queen Victoria. Sometime in August we shall hare her in New York, to be received, may we hope, with a fervor and enthusiasm not beneath that ao justly bestowed upon the Swedish Night- VTe have no doubt whatever as to the manner in which her presence will be tailed by the Irish residents of this and other cities. This class of oar population will, we are confident, be proud f their fair and gifted countrywoman, and leave nothing undone to her honor. This feeling and 6ntimcnt will not, however, be confined to them. The educated, the fashionable, the gen erous, the kind, American people, of all sections, will be ready to compliment and respect her as the child of genius and one of the Queens of g0ng. No public man was ever more popular in this country than Tyrone Power. He was Woved by all without distinction. And Ida fate will bo ever lamented as much on this side of the water as in Europe. No race distinction was exhibited in his person; he was received 4&J treated as a brother and a friend. It must be thus with Catharine Hayes. Besides her magnificent vocal abilities, she is a most virtu ous lady and gentlewoman; as a fondly devoted daughter and attached relative, as a missioner of benevolence and charity, she knows no su perior. As an actress, in opera. Miss Hayes carries c5 the palm from her illustrious contemporary, Jnny Lind. Her teaching as a musician, un der Garcia, has been of the most careful nature. But it is in the singing of Irish melodies she will electrify and delight her hearers most. In this region of song she never had a superior she has no living equaL Moortj was never so faithfully represented. To the pathos of a gushing heart, which cherishes a love for na tive land, she unites the melody of a voice as sweet as ever murmured from woman's lips, and taste as pure as the bubbling streamlet which sparkles in the sunbeam. Miss IIaye3 was enjoying one of her greatest successes at the Queen's Theatre, London, some two years ago, on her return from Italy, when her eye rested on a calm and benevolent coun tenance which beamed upon her from one of the private boxes. She got suddenly faint and was obliged to retire for the moment. The face which affected her so much was that of the (then) Protestant Bishop of Limerick, who first Induced her to leave her retirement, and ever remained her earnest and steadfast friend. After & little reaction had set in, she came for ward with such emotion as she never before ex perienced. She sang one of Moore's simple, touching, and beautiful songs. - The whole house was enraptured. It was hushed into deepest silence. Anxious to cheer, the will was yet suspended, the better to drink in the draughts of glorious melody which flowed through the vast area. A gentleman stood up in the middle of the first tier of boxes. He was of portly person, florid countenance, and diitinguished air. He would no longer control his feelings; but, waving his hat high over his head, he cried out in a rich, melliflous, but by no means vulgar Irish brogue "Bravo! my darling; ould Ireland for ever." It is impossible to give any idea of the result produced by this simple incident. The whole house, from ceiling to foot-lights, came down with one irrepressible burst of cheering, which was repeated over and over again. Dr. Joy will precede Miss Hayes to make all necessary arrangements for her debut and pro fessional progress; and he has been fortunate enough to secure the eminent and invaluable services of Mr. Brough, than whom no gcntle- u ia more popular in that nrofession whirl. Jtft.for a whiln the experience of the latter o-entltm. a all matters, which appertain to music and the drama in this country, will smooth the way for Ir. Joy; and Miss Hayes interests in this re lard cannot be committed to more capable or PPropriate hands. " An immense and enthusiastic meeting of tho Democrats of Pennsylvania, was held in the Court House at Reading, on Thursday evening, June 5th, 1851, to ratify the nominations of the State Convention. The "pacionn Court Room was crowded to its utmost limit, with a vest throng, eager to renew their vows of attachment to the Democratic creed and Democratic candi dates. On motion of II. A. Mchlexrero, the meeting was organized by the appointment of tho following officers : President JOHN LAPORTE, of Bradford county. Vice Presidents J. Glancy Jones, and "William Strong, of Berks; Simon Cameron, of Dauphin; James narvey, of Philadelphia; Samuel Stro hecker, of Centre ; S. N. Palmer, of Schuylkill ; Samuel W. Black, of Allegheny ; Franklin Van sant, of Bucks; John Barr, of Lancaster; C. R. Buckalew, of Columbia ; John S. FJiey, of Armstrong; John Cessna, of Bedford; Joshua Y. James, of Warren; William S.

McKinley, of Dauphin; Thomas McDonough, of Philadelphia. On motion of Mr. Strong, a committee of three was appointed to wait upon Col. Biqler, and invite his attendance at the meeting. Mr. Mt iiiEXBEKo, on behalf of the Commit tee of Arrangements, offered the following res olutions, which were unanimously adopted : Mliereas, It has been usual for the Democracy of the State after a nomination made, to assem ble ia mass meeting to express approbation of the acts of their representatives, and whereas upon the present occasion, when the candidate for the higest office in the gift of the people has been selected with a -unanimity almost un- JUDICIAL CONVENTION. Harris bubo, June 11, 1831. Pursuant to the call of the State Central Com mittee, the delegates to the Democratic Judicial Convention assembled in the nail of the House of Representatives, at Tlarriaburg, at 10 o'clock A. M. ' ' " On motion of John Cessna, non. JAMES M. PORTER was. called to tho chair, for the pur pose of a temporary organization, and Benj. E. Chain, Samuel L. Young, R. B. Roberts and R. A. Lamberton were appointed Secretaries. The list of undisputed delegates were then called over, when it appeared that the seats of the delegates from the counties of Philadelphia, Lancaster, Bucks, Union and Juniata, and the Senatorial delegates from Luzerne, Columbia and Montour were contested. Mr. Whallon moved that the Convention now proceed to decide the contested scats in the fol lowing order: First taking up the districts in which the greatest number of seats are contes ted, and proceeding in that manner until all districts are disposed of which shall be entitled to more than one seat in this Convention. Then the districts in which single seats are contested shall be taken up in their alphabetical order. Mr. Lowry moved to amend so as to take up of J the contested seats in the alphabetical order of districts. Mr. Cessna moved an amendment to the amendment, "that the Convention now proceed to the consideration of contested seats, com mencing with the districts containing the lar gest number of delegates, in alphabetical order; which was agreed to; the amendment as amen ded adopted, and the original resolution, as amended, agreed to. The Convention then proceeded to the con sideration of the contested seats from Philadel phia county, one delegate from each side being allowed one hour to argue the case. Capt. Small then addressed the Convention at length, in support of the claims of one set of delegates. Mr. Brightly next addressed the Convention Messrs. N. W. Sample, Geo. Sanderson, Da vid Laird, John L. Reynolds, John S. Dougher ty and Andrew Leader were admitted as dele gates from Lancaster county. The contested seats from Bucks county were then taken up. motion was made to admit C. W.

Kinsey as delegate from AW" paralleled, and when the best interests of the ' in support of the delegates claiming under the Stato demand that the Democracy should unite j certificate of Wm. Curtia. -" " ' " , in a vigorous effort to redeem the old Keystone, J Capt Small next spoke at some length in re it is peculiarly proper that such expressions of ', ply to Mr. Brightly. he, life, opinion should be made to show the world that the Democratic Party stands united as one man. Therefore 1. Resolved, That the Democracy of Pennsyl vania in mass meeting assembled, do hereby ratify and approve of the nomination of Wm. Bigler, of Clearfield, for Governor, whose pre eminent qualifications for the chief magistracy of the Commonwealth, known and admitted as they are by friends and foes, must command success. 2. Resolved, That we one and all pledge our best exertions to secure the election of Colonel Wm. Bigler, and that if a vigorous effort and a good cause can secure success, the State must and shall be redeemed. 3. Resolved, That we heartily approve of the nomination of Setu Clover, of Clarion, for the office of Canal Commissioner, and that, as with the Governor, we will use our best efforts, to secure his success. Col. Bigler was then introduced to the meet ing, and returned thanks for the cordiality with which his nomination had been received, "in a brief and appropriate address. Col. Samuel W. Black followed, in a speech of great fervor and eloquence, which was rap turously applauded. At this stage of the proceedings, the crowd became too'great for the Court Room to contain, and the meeting was therefore adjourned to Centre Square, where a platform had been erect ed, for the officers and speakers. The meeting was here eloquently addressed by Hon. John Cessna, followed by Col. John W. Forney, George R. Barrett, Esq., Hon. John S. McCalmont, and Daniel Dougherty, Esq. Each of the speakers was listened to with the deepest attention, and drew from the assembled multitude frequent bursts of deafening applause. The meeting adjourned with nine hearty cheers for Bigler and Clover. A Coincidence. It is worthy of note, as a somewhat extraor dinary coincidence, that the three first officers of the Democratic Mass Meeting on Thursday evening Hon. John Laporte, President, and Gen. William S. Ross, Vice President on his right, and Hon. Strange N. Palmer, Vice President on his left were old school-mates and intimate companions, who grew up together at Wilkesbarre, and the sons of three of the 132 Democrats in North-Eastern Pennsylvania, who voted for Thomas JEFftasox in the dark days of 1799. This striking coincidence proves that the same devoted spirit which nerved the fathers of Democracy to combat the tyranny of Federalism, still lives in their sons and descendants.

The main shaft is upwards of 80 feet in depth. Mr. Cameron moved that tho subject of the Philadelphia contested seats, be referred to a committee to determine vihich set of delegates are entitled to seats, or whether either set are entitled to seats; which was disagreed to.

The original resolution was then slightly modified and adopted without a division. The Convention then proceeded to a first vote, and the result being ascertained, it ap peared that had The Difference. The Providence Post thus pithily shows th difference between the-Democratic and Whi parties in this State: In 1847, the Pennsylvania Legislature passed a law denying the use of the jails of that State for the detention of the fugitive slaves while awaiting their trial. At the last session of the Legislature, a bill to repeal this law was passed by both Houses, but Governor Johnston refused to sign it, and it was thus lost. At the late Democratic State Convention, the. subject was under consideration, and the following resolu tion was adopted : Resolved, That the 6th section of the Act of Legislature cf Pennsylvania, passed on tho 3 J i of March, 1847, denying, under a severe pcnal- ! ty, the use of our State jails for the detention of fugitive slaves, whilst awaiting their trials, ought to be expunged from our statute books, both because it interposes obstacles by means of State Legislation to the execution of the provisions of the Constitution of the Unite! States, and because it is a virtual disregard of the principles of the compromise, and is calcu lated seriously to endanger the existence of the Union. At the same time that the Democratic Con vention was in. session at Reading, a portion of the Whig party held a Convention at Pittsburg, and after nominating General Scott for the Presidency, adopted the following resolution: Resolved, That we regard the existence of slavery in the Southern States as a local insti tution, for which they alone are responsible. That so far as it is recognized in the national constitution, they are willing to execute the same in good faith, but that Pennsylvania, hav ing long since abolished slavery upon her soil, is utterly hostile to its further extension, or any interference with it by her State officers.

A correspondent of the Germantown Tele graph, writing from norshamvillc, says: "I hasten to inform thee, for the benefit of the many readers of thy paper, that Elwood M. Walton, oldest son of Lewis Walton, of Moorc- land township, Montgomery county, sged near five years, was stung by a locust on the back of his right ear, on Seventh day last. He was standing in the house, near the door, when it flew in and stung him, which nlarmcd his pa rents very much, having previously understood that their sting was usually fatal." However, they at once caught a chicken, cut it in two, and applied half of it while yet kick ing, to the puncture or wound; in half an hour took it off and applied the other half, and left that remain on about an hour, it giving him. relief. This was then also taken off, and in five minutes after the child went into spasms, and was in such agony that it required twoper- I eons to hold him: His ear turned to a dark color, red sLre&kj running docvn his breast and round his eye. the half of a chicken was again put on, and in ten minutes after he bogon toxfeel relief and in a short time he was perfectly calm. It "requi red, however, the third chicken to remove all the poison, the first coming off very green, and each succeeding half less green until the last; which was neariy or entirely free from any dis coloration. The child is now, the second day after it was stung, plaving as usual." On motion, the nominations were unanimously confirmed by the Convention. Mr. Burnside submitted the following reso lution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That this Convention congratulate their Democratic brethcrn, lately assembled at Reading, on the nomination of Col. Wm; Bigler, for Governor, and Seth Clover, for Canal Com missioner, and at the bright' prospects we have of giving our old enemies a .New Orleans defeat in October next, .
