The Democratic State Convention which
meets at Reading to-day. wili probably in
struct the delegates wich it will appoint to the
Charleston Convention to endeavor to secure
the nomination of Hon, John C. Brecken
ridge for President. As Mr. Buchanan is a
Pennsylvanian, it would perhaps be asking
too much to insist that a citizen of the Key
stone State should be the Democratic Stan
dard bearer during the coming Campaign
It is highly probable, however, that the nomi
nee of the Convention will be a new man;
one whose claims has not been urged by his
friends, but who being an able' and conserva
tive Statesman, will be certain to unite the
party and lead the Democratic hosts to victo
ry. In the event of such a crisis in the Con
vention, we would not be surprised if its mem
bers should recognizo the gcntlemon whose
name heads this article a3 the man for the oc
casion, and unanimously present him to the
Democracy as their candidate for the Presi
dency We do not hesitate to say, that the
United States does not at the present time
contain an abler Statesman than he is. All
the productions of his pen are clear, logical
and convincing, and the opinions which he
delivered while Chief Justice of this State will
not lose anything by being compared with
those of tha illustrious Gibson. They are
trse and convincing in their sentences' more
ideas than are generally contained in the
pages of more redundant writers. As Attor
ney General of the United States, he has al
ready won for himself the reputation of being
the ablest member of Mr. Buchanan's very
able Cabinet. He is moreover, a pure patri
ot and loves his country and its institutions.
He is, and always has been, the unfaltering
enemy of Sectionalism, and has never cowed
before the foes of the Union, either jn sun
shine or in storm. His nomination as a com.
promise candidate for the Presidency, would
be ratified with all the enthusiasm of 1844
and 1852.
t3T The Black Republican State Conven
tion convened in Harrisburg on last Wednes
day, Ex Governor Pollock was appointed
permament President. A resolution nomina
ting Cameron for President of the United
States, and instructing the delegates to the
Chicago Convention to use all honorable mea's
in their power to secure his nomination, was
adopted after a storming debate. A large
number of delegates were opposed to declar
ing the old Winnebago Chieftain, the first
choice of the Republicans of the Keystone
State for the highest office in the gift of the
American people Hod. A. G. Curtain was
nominated for Governor, on the second bal
lot. The vote was as follows; Curtain 74,

back howling like whipped curs, and claim
that they are Northern martyrs. If they do
not wish to be treated like low foul mouthed
blaguards, they should comport themselves
like gentlemen They should remember that
but few men are capable of treating the
tongue of the slanderer, with the contempt
which it merits.

they are required to complete the work in
every State and Territory within the earliest
practicable time. Ten years have elapsed '
since the last national census was taken, and
in that period the country was in a marvel

anu prone, are tnrown into tne scale to out
weigh the real sentiment of the sovereign
people, so as to further the pretentions of this
or that man. To counteract this unfortunate
-state of affairs, it will soon become necessary
for the people to insist upon their representa

office, or have power delegated 'to them in
State, County or National Conventions, to
act as the servants of the people,- not as their
masters. When you hod men using all the

Washington was always notad fifi an asylum
for defeated, broken down candidates, and
spavined politicians. No wonder, therefore,
that among the immense herd of hungry ex
pectants for office, who have tf late, like the
Asyrians at tho destruction of Sennacherib,
came down like wolves on the field of the coa
lition ot the House, there should be a num
ber of them willing to serve their country in
the capacity of Messenger, Doorkeeper, or
assistant, who at one time served their party
as Congressman, or in a high position, or
were defeated in their . aspirations for some
honorable candidacy. Such, however, is the
humiliating state of affairs, the precedent for
which is, no doubt, attainable from the source
pursued by one of our earlier Presidents
who, after retireing from that lofty eminence
ment what to do, he jumped upon the bed;
but seeing the danger of his wife and chil

him with, ho tuade an effort, and succeeded

desperate, struggle we might say for life or
death, ha overpowered the dog. Then came
the trouble to dispatch him being almost
overcome in the struggle. The gun was brought
but it was unloaded; the axe. but both hands
were required to hold the dog. Finally, a
rope was procured, and the wife tied him.
He was then killed. Mr. Hamilton, fortu
tunately. received no injury: but one hand
was completely paralyzed tor a time, from the
effect of the struggle.

their agreement was the result of forced cir
cumstances and the dictation of public opin
ion This alliance every day draws closer
and already begins to produce evident tangi
ble consequences; it is now formally deter
mined that no intervention shall take place in
Italy, or that the people shall be left to their
own devices. It is therefore agreed that the
States of Central Italy shall dispose of them
selves. 1 resh elections are to be held, and
the assemblies resulting from the popular
choice, are free to decree the annexation of
their constituents to the Sardian Kingdom."

It b no secret that Austria, having regard
to then estcrn alliance and her own serion
difficulties, has given up all hope of retrive-
int? her position and influence in Italy, and
not only sheathes her sword, but puts it aside.
An attempt will be made to luduce her to
erant reforms in Venetia. of which she is
still left mistress.
The Post adds that the stubborness of the

Naples groans under a heavier tyranny

The Italian Question being then ukely to

strict duty by which this time last year we
misht have prevented war, and by which wc
may now guarantee the peace ' of Europe
that line is no foreign intervention, but Italy
