STATE CONVENTION
The United American, Republican, and
People's Committee of Superintendence fur
the City of Philadelphia, earnestly desirous to
extend and perpetuate that union of the ele
mental of opposition to the present National
Administration, which in this City has lately
resulted in such brilliant success, do hereby
respectfully suggest, and recommend to the
State Committees representing those several
elements of opposition, that they call upon the
Citizens of Pennsylvania, who are opposed to
the present National Administration; espec
ially to its despotic and fraudulent Lecomptun
policy, and its wilful neglect of the just claims
of domestic industry; and who are in favor of
the Sovereignty of the People over their own
local concerns; of American institutions as
against the policy and intrigues of foreign
Governments, and of adequate protection to
our home labor, to assemble in their respect
ive Senatorial and Representative Districts to.
choose delegates to a State Convention, to
meet at Harrisburg, in the Hall of the House
of Representatives, at 2 o'clock, P. M., of Wed

To breathe our songs of praise ;
Let not a note of sadness,
Be blended in our lays."

Collrge.—We learn that the 'vacant Chair
of Anatomy, in this institution has been
filled by the election of Dr. John H. B.
McClellan, of Philadelphia. This is a
singularly appropriate selection, not only
on account of the merits of the now incum
bent, but from the fact that his father, Dr.
Geo. McClellan, was one of the founders
and brightest ornaments of the school. Dr
John McClellan is a surgeon of wide spread
reputation and brilliant talents, and his ap
pointment cannot fail to add to the success
of the popular faculty of which he is now
a member.

some in favour of rotation in office and the
election of another person, but the long

Omni
A GLANCE AT THE FIELD
Forney, in Friday's Press, takes a view
of the political field of Pennsylvania, thus :
~ Lecompton is at a fearful discount in
Pennsylvania. It will not pay one dine
on the dollar. It is being rejected by all
the shrewd peliticians, even endorsed as it
is by Cougress. In nearly every Con
gressional district in this State the Demo
cracy are either trying to get rid of the
whole record—to bury it out of sight--or
else are bowing their Lecompton Repre
sentatives into private life. lit the Bucks
and Lehigh district. Henry Chapman's re
nomination is demanded as essential to the
success of the party, owing to his indt'.
pendent resistance of the Kansas policy of
a majority of Congress. In Chester and
Dela s ore, the champion of popular saver.
uignty, John Hickman, is admitted to be
the only Democrat that can be elected. In
Montgoinery and part of Philadelphia,
Owen Jones is pertinaciously begging for
a re nomination, assisted
,by the United
States Marshal for th• eastern district, who
is
mo,t shionefully prostituting his office
to help this double recreant into Congress
for another term ; but we hope that the de
mocrats of Montgomery will resist this
laudacious appeal. In Berks J. Glancy
Jones is opposed by the very flower of the
Democracy, headed by the English organ
of that party. Even in the Tenth Legion
Mr. W. H. Ditnmick is not safe, though
backed by the recollection of an overtvhel•
ming majority. [We hope to see Colonel
A. G. Brodhead, or General W. Lilly, of
Calbon, or Mr. Dreer, of Monroe, running
against this faithless Representative.]—
There is little hope for Paul Leidy in the
Luzerne district; little for Reilly in the
Franklin district ; little for Ahl in the
Cumbesland district ; and none at all for
Gillis of the Clarion, or Dewart of the
Schuylkill district. Montgomery has made
I his initial battle at the West, having car-
I ried his nomination with a rush, As to
• the Lecompton triumvirate from this city,
if there is one out of the three sent back,
we shall be astonished.
"Behold the picture. gentlemen Lecomp
tonites. Ponder upon it. Act upon it ;
and remember the only sensible action is to
withdraw your beaten horses from the
track, and so save their dis lance and their
honor."

The New Bird and Game Law.
Perhaps it is not generally known that
a new law for the better preservation of
game and insectiverous birds was enacted
at the last session of our Legislature, we
therefore publish a synopsis of the law, as
a matter of interest to all, and particularly
to the sporting community. It is one of
importance to every farmer and lover of
nature, and we hope the good sense of our
citizens will mske it generally observed.
The penalties of are quite stringent—en-
ough to make the law a terror to evil doers
is that respect
The first section provides that it shall
not be lawful for any porson within this
Commonwealth to shoot. kill, or in any
way trap or destroy any blue-bird, swat.
low, martin, or other insect iverous bird, at
any season of the year, under a penalty of
two dollars.
Section second provides that no person
shall shoot, kill or otherwise destroy any
pheasant between th first day of January
and the first day of September, or any
woodcock between the first day of January
and the first day of October, in the present
year, and in each and every year thereaf
ter, under the penalty of five dollars for
each and every offence.
Section third provides that no person
shall buy or cause to be bought, or carry
out of the State, for the purpose of supply
ing any private house or market, any plies.
sant, partridge, woodcock, or rabbit, unless
the same shall have been shot or taken in
the proper season, as provided for in said
act, under a penalty of five dollars for each
and every offence.
Section fourth provides that no person
shall, at Illy time, wilfully destroy the
eggs or nests of birds, meintioned in the
different sectiolis of this act, within this
Commonwealth, under a penalty of two
dollars for each and every offence.
Section fifth provides that the posses.
sion of any person. in this Camino ;wealth,
of any of the game and birds mentioned in
the different sections 01 said act, shot, kil
led or otherwise de- troyed, shall be prima
facia evidence to convict under the said
act.
The sixth section provides that any per
son offending against any of the provisions
of this act, and being thereof convicted be
fore any alderman or justice of the peace
aforesaid, or by the oath or affirmation of
one or more witnesses, shall, for every of
fence, forfeit the fine or fines attached to
the seine, one•hulf to the use of the county
in which die complaint is made, and the
other half to the informer; and if the offen
der shall refuse to pay said forfeiture, he
shall be committed to the jail of the proper
county for every such offence, without
bail or mainprize : Provided, however.
that suclt conviction be made within 60
days after the committing of the offence.
THE AUGUST VOTE IN KANSAS,
Gov. Denver hat issued a proclamation,
fixing definitely the arrangements for hold
ing the election in Kansas to decide the
acceptance or rejection of the proposition
submitted by the English bill. It is as
follows ;
PROCLAMATION.
To the electors of the Territory of KLIO3CIS:
By virtue of an act of Congress, entitled
"An act for the admission of the State of
Kansas into the Union," approved May 4,
185 S, and in accordance with the instruc•
Lions of the Board of Officers authorized
to carry the provisions of said a•t into ef•
felt.
I, James W. Denver. Governor of the
Terrinny of Kansas, do hereby proclann
and make known that on Monday, the 2d
day of August next, the qualified electors
of the Territory will assemble at their ve
nous places of voting, and then and there
cast their votes for or against the propos'.
tion by said act of Congress submitted, in
accoraonce with the rules and regulations
adopted by stud board, on the 2d day of
June, 1858, and which are here , o attach
ed the same having been reported by a
committee of three, and on that day adopt.
ed by the board. J. W. DENVER.
Attest, H uoa S. WAr,sli, Secretary.
This settles the question in regard to the
day. as the time designated is the second
of August? As the State election takes
place in Missouri upon the same day, the
chances of a fair election in Kansas are al
together favorable. There will be too
much voting to be done at home for evil
disposed individuals to leave one State
to go into another to tamper with the ballot
box. The result is, however, a foregone
conclusion, as, in spite of any reasonable
amount of billot•box stuffing, the rejection
of the English swindle will be carried by a
majority of six to eight thousand votes.
A Remarkable Scene
In Bev. John Chambers' Church, yester
day afternoon, neatly twelve hundred per
sons partoolc of the Lord's Supper. Of
these, seventy then united with the Church
sixty-seven on profession of faith. Five
of the latter were boys of about twelve.
years of age, members of the Sunday
School. Previous to the communion, some
twenty five or more adults received the
rite of baptism. The services were deep.
ly interesting and the house crowded to
the utmost capacity. With the excep-
Lion of Henry and Beecher's Church in
Brooklo, we believe this to be the large,t
number of communicants in toy church in
thii , country.
Railroad Intelligence,
'l•he following, with reference to the
Pennsylvania Railroad and its manage
ment, we glean front the Lancaster
Ex
press: We understand that on or about
the fifth of July, a new lime table will be
issued for the Pennsylvauia Railroad, in
which some change will be made in the
time of some of the trains. This is ren
dered necesary for several reasons. By
that time the excavations of the tunnel at
Elizabethtown viii have been fully com
pleted, the enlargement being sufficknt to
allow the passage of the largest cars add
locomotives run on any part of the road.
At the same time a very important tm•
provement for the comfort of the passes•
gem and conductors will be made. It is
well known to the traveling community
that the cars on the central road, west of
Harrisburg, cannot he surpassed for com
fort, They are eighteen inches wider
than these used on the Philadelphia Di
vision and give more room to seat passeu
gers comfortably and for the conductor to
pass through conveniently while collecting
the tickets.—Heretofore it has been im
possible to run these wide ears through to
Philadelphia, owing tomany changes which
had to be made on that portion of the road
recently purchased from the State. These
alterations are now nearly complete. .The
tracks have been removed further apart,
bridges and tunels widened, telegraph po!•
es set over, the removal of a corner of
Hopple's balcony, and a few other trifling
obstructions, being all that remains to be
done. 'file introduction of the wide and
comfortable cars of the Eastern and West.
ern divisions to the Philadelphia division,
thus avoiding change of cars from Ph ila•
deiplila to Pittsburg, will make the Penn
sylvania Ceutrs.l by far the most reliable,
comfortable and secure route to the great
West. It is also contemplated, we be
lieve, that the conductors of the through
trains shall run through, instead of chang
ing at Harrisburg as formerly. l'hus each
conductor will have charge of his non
passengers the entire route, although this
arrangement will impose a pretty "hard
day's work•" upon them. Each one will
however, have a day to lie over and rest.

Two HUNDRED AND FIETY FIVE
WOUNDS !--The body of Sophia Doyon,
nurdered by her two insane brothers
near Detroit, has been examined by phys
icians. The number of wounds found on
the body was two hundred and fifty five.--
Of these, twenty. eight were in the face,
nine were in the neck, fifty-five were in the
chest, nine in the right leg, ten in the left
leg, thirty.three in the right arm and hand
thirty-one in the left arm arm and hand,
thirty six upon the buck, and one on the
right shoulder. These ringed from small
wounds to wounds of considerable extent.
Some of th •m in the lace were from two to
three inches deep, each side of the me.
Thu one on the shoulder was very large,
being one or two inches in depth. Seven
ribs were broken ou the right side, and,
fire on the left. The liver was torn from
the fractured end of the ribs, half in two.
Of the wounds in the head but one entered
the skull, though the top and back of it
was beaten to a perfect jelly. The breast
was also badly bruised.
Penneyivania and the Free Trade Fund.
In the voluminous t estimony before the
Tariff investigating Committee occurs the
following passage, not specially referred to
in the Report ;
"J. M. It . eynolds admitted that he reed
ved $1,500 from Mr. Stone, the greatest
part of which he expended in Pennsylva
nia in October. 1850, strengthened tile
hands of the Fillmore straightouters. lle
said that Sir. Stone sought his acquaintance
after he had offered and passo.l in the
Twelfth Council of the American party
calling upon Cong,ss to admit wool free
of duty, and availed himself of his experi
ence in urging the matter upon I :ongress ;
having $1,500 of the funds placed in his
hands, he expended it in the political cam
paign; travelling and taking care of wool,
and a little for the American par.) , ut the
saute Bute; he did not know where any of
the rest of the money went to or what was
done with it."
So it appears that part of this fund to par•
alyze still f irther the industry of this
country was employed in Philadelphia in
"strengthening the hands of the Fillmore
straight-nuters" in 1h56, as one of the
means of assisting to reinovr the duty on
wool. Well, wool was not pulled over the
eyes 3( Pennsylvanians for nothing. The
Fillmore straightouters were strengthened
just enough to give the State to Buchanan,
