The next Democratic State Convention, will meet in Heading, on the 20th of Febru ary, and on its deliberations will, in all prob ability, depend their result of the approaching political struggle in this btate. We are therefore not a little pleased at observing .! .

If there at all, they will be there to "divide, to dishonor," and not to strengthen and unite the party. We hope the members of the Convention will not act like ultra, but like patriotic, conservative and common sense men, having the wellfare of .1 M. J A. -A. 1 A.

The Convention will have two important duties to perform Firet that of placing in nnmin.liAn . -inr1 lata fit fnr fJurnmnr- KPnnnrl the appointing of delegates to the Charleston I Convention. For Governor, we could name a host of Democrats, any one of whom would make a popular candidate. We care not who the candidate may be, provided he is a states man, a Democrat & an un-com promising ene my of seetioual organizations. We confess it would afford us .fecial pleasure, to see Hon. H. D. Foster, of Westmoreland, or Hon John L. Dawson, of Fayette, the nominee, but the nomination of any reliable democrat, blessed with intellect and integrity, will be satisfactory, not only to us but to every dem- ocratic voter of the "Mountain County." , ,.. n , The members of the Convention can scarcely fail in performing u cll this important part of their duties. The duty of selecting delegates to the Charleston Convention, will require both care and judgement for its proper discharge. The democracy of the Keystone State expect and demand, that they shall be represented in the National Convention by intelligent men, not by Utellect'l pigmics-by patriots & not by dem agogues, by democrats and not by abolition ists in disguise; by men who supported the State ticket last ycur, and not by men who then cither directly or indirectly gave aid and comfort to the Black Republicans. We presume the Convention will encoun ter but liale difficulty iu adopting a platform. It will probably be content with re-affirming the Cincinnati platform, and endorsing the National administration. If the Cincin nati platform is to be enlarged, if new planks o 1 1 n rt It if it. he nrwimr tn nr. are to inserted in" V ... e i j ' . a.'": anyofitsdoo- plam or construe more lu.i . , tnnes, would it not be best to leave tne itw of doing so to the National Convention, com posed of delegates from every State of the Union, coming together in a spirit of concord, of devotion to Democratic principles? This we think would be the most proper and the most prudent courpo for the State Convention topur suo io this matter. We firmly believe that the construction of the Cincinnati Platform by President Buchanan and Judge Black, as far as it relates to popular sovereignty is cor rect. We believe that the Territories are the property of the whole country, that they were purchased with the blood and treasure of the whole country, aud not by the blood and treasure of any particular State or section of the Union. Therefore every American citi zen has not only the right to emigrate to a territory whenever he sees proper to do bo, but aUo the right to take his personal property with him. and hold and use it as his property - there at least until the Territory is admitted into the Union as a State. If a citizen of Pennsylvania has the right to emigrate to a territory with his horses, and a citizen of Virginia has not the right to emigrate to the same territory with his slaves, the Virginian ia Lot the cuil of the Pcnosylvanian under the Cmmmiion, fcr the itiirn of Virginia is denied a right which the citizen of Pennsyl vania enjoys The States are sovereigns and canals, and their citicens as citizens of the United States arc entitled to an equality of rights. Popular sovereignty as applied to the Territorief means simply the right of the people of a territory when adopting a consti tution previous to asking for admission into the -Union, to decide in their "own way." what their domestic institutions shall be. It docs not give tho right to a few fanatical squatters, yesr3 before tie Territory ap plies for admission as a State, to decide wheth er or not Slavery shall be permitted to exist within its limits. It is well known that Senator Doug'as has recently promulgated views, differing widely from the above, and it is said that an attempt will be made to incorporate his views into the Charleston Platform. We hope the mem bers of the Convention will not allow such a suicidal act to be consumated If they do, the National Democracy will reject the plat- form and the candidates who stand uoon it. j fc j f thejr conscience their principles and their patriotism. The Democracy in 185G 1 fought and tri umphed on the Cincinnati Platform. It was then broad enough for them and we believe it is broad enough for them still. If the Charleston Convention reaffirms thai platform, and places Democrats on it for President and Vice President, it will render a brilliant Democrat! cvictory next November certain.

The Governor's Message was read in the Senate on last Wednesday. It i3 a well writ tea State paper. The Governor states that the financial condition of the State is at pres ent highly prosperous. Over one million of dollars of the principal of the public debt has been paid within the last year. He maintains !hat We Wrd for our present prosper ity, to the sale the Public improvements of the Commonwealth. He states that the Sun bury and Erie Rail Road is being rapidly completed. He gives a history of the diffi culty between the Commonwealth and the Pennsylvania Rail Road Company, with re gard to the payment of the Tonnage Tax. He mantains that the tax is juft, and that its pay ment should be enforced. The report of the Superinteadant of Common Schools is refer ed to. The number of pupils in all tbe pub lie schools of the State 034.651. The avar- If , ' T l Female gli,49 per month. He is opposed to the repeal of the law creating the office of County Superintendant. Ho states that he cannot approve of any increase of banking capital under existing laws. If corporate privileges for banking purposes are needed, justice demands that such institutions, should be compelled to protect the community rcceiv ing its circulation, by requiring that ample security shall be given, for the redemption of its notes. He refers to the Harper's Ferry difficulty, and says that it is gratifying to Pennsylvania to believe the citizens of this Commonwealth did not in any manner participate in that un lawful proceeding, and to know that when some of the parties were arrested within its jurisdtction, they were promptly surrendered. He adds that, while entertainirg no doubt that our Republican institutions which have been carried forward to their present exalted positions in the eye of the world, will contin ue to the latest generations, it is the part of wisdom and patriotism to vigilantly guard a treasure so priceless Let moderate counsels and national fraternal scntiqiofc: "n;f Ji gng tne peopjey- and the dis. turbing elements which temporarily threaten the Union will assnrredly pass away. Penn sylvania, as a centra position, with three millions of freemen, enables her to say with emphasis to the plotters of treason on cither hand, that neither shall be permitted to suc ceed; that it shall, therefore, not be in the power of either to disturb the perpetuity of a Union cemented and sanctified by the blood of patriotic fathers. At every sacrifice the constitutional rights of the people and the States shall be maintained; equal justice done to all, aud these btates united forever. ' E&- S. B.
