DEMOCIfATIC
STATE CONVENTION.
At the Inst formal unetir.g the Democratic
Ftate Central Committee, it was resolved that the
State Convention should be tailed to meet at Har
tisburg on Wednesday, the 21st day of dune inst
But, having since learned from a majority of the
Committee, and been advised by many other lead
ing Democrats of the State, that a postponement to
later day m>u d,on many accounts, be acceptable,
and is generally desired, I hereby give notice that
the next Democratic State Convention of Pennsyl
vania will convene at the Hall of the House of Rep
resentatives, in the city of Harrisburg. on THURS
DAY, THE 24TH DAY OF AUGUST NEXT, at

MISTAKES.
.• • t
In the hurry of making out so many
accounts, we may possibly have made some
mistakes. Our attention being called to any
such, we will rn-'St ct-eerfnlly correct them
*nd make the amende honorable.
HEREAFTER.
As we shall hereafter keep an account with
each subscriber standing in type, which will
be corrected to correspond with the payments
made each week ; the memorandum date on
each label will furnish a receipt to trie sub
scriber. If in any c. -e of payment we sliou Id
neglect to make the proper credit, or change
in the date, we w ill allow and pay postage on
a letter giving us notice of such omission.
ANCIENT DATE.
We regret having been obliged to put
down, in many cases, dates as old as 61, 62
63, <fcc. We hope those who owe us from
tho6e dates, will take the fir-t opportunity
to have the little ti-H-tale label on their
papers, give a more ruble reiuirt of ihum
Avery on Negro Suffrage
"Who according to Republican principles
are to enjoy the election franchise?" is a
question put by the editor of the niggar organ,
at thio place, in his issue of last week, ar.d
answered by himself in an elaborate article ;
In which he declares unequivocally in favor
of negro suffrage. And declares his purpose,
to continue to advocate the principle.
As Ira follows in the stej* oH.ia prototype
•Dd leader, Wendell Phillip's (kpppiirg about
a year behind, as a matter of polic\) we >halt
shoitly expect to find liitn declaring *n favor
of "the amalgamation as a means of peif, cling
and ennob'ing ttie pa e faced, puny race <>t
ang.o saxons and celt*/'—about a yeat having
expired since Phillip's promulgation ol the
doctrine. If Ira wishes to degrade himself
—or elevate himself (which is it Ir-> ?) to
the level of a nigger we have no objection ;
nor, shall we at present, argue the point with
hint : We would hint to him, however, that
a large number of i chile men in this country
are not prepared to follow him into the lov
ing m :a-e oft f,f e scented i ipo.
JG^CThe Cabinet Organs manufactured
by Messrs. Mason A llaniltn are becoming
great favorites in the household. Their
compactness, delicacy of tone, and elegant
construction, make them very desirable as
ornaments, as well as attractive for their mu
sical capabilities. They are different in ma
ny respects from other instruments of this
class, and thenianufaciuri s haveavaitcd them
selves of the highest skiil in wo rkmanship,
and the best materials to bring them to per
fection Boston Post.
C2£"The New York World asks "if opin
lon could make a rrmn a traitor, what would
become of such men as Giddings, and Sum
ner, and Seward, who hwld that the Consti
tution wis not the supreme law of the land,
but that there was a higher Uw—their own
will? If there bo such a thing as moral
treason, the leaders of the Republican party
were the first moral traitors.''
They ate to day a* black in treason as Jeff
Davis himseif. Tito only difference being
that Davis came out fearlessly and opposed
the Constitution and iaw, while, the aboli
tion leaders swear to support them, and theu
bserk their oaths and do the reverse.
The Censorship of the Press, which has be
come one of the daily functions of the War
Department, has relented toward the Rich
mond Whig, whioti r u suppressed a few
week* ago for disloyalty ; and its publication
was resumed last Monday, by permission o'
the e ■mtnaiiding General of the Di-par'tneot

Joseph Holt.
This gentleman, whose singular and unex
pected course in ofßce has caused astonish
ment and regret among all his old friends,
both in Kentucky and the East, wrote a let
ter to one of them in Nuvember, 1860, from
which we make a few extracts. After allud
ing to the prospect of immediate secession in
S >uth Carolina, and other cotton States, this
letter coutinues:
"The border States, now so devoted to the
Union, will linger a little while, bjt they will
soon unite their fortunes with t' rse ul tr.e
Southern States. Conservative men have
now no ground to stand upon —no weapon to
battle with. All has been swept from them
by the guilty agitations and infamous legis
lation of the North. Ido not anticipate,
with any confidence, that the North will act
up to the solemn responsibilities of the crisis>
bv retracing those fatal steps which have con
d ctel us to the very brink of perdition, po
liticallv, morally and financ ally."
Speaking of tbe blindness of tho people to
coming events, Mr. Ilolt said :
' They know nothing of civil war. This
match in the desert of the pilgrimage of na
tions has happily been for them a sealed
fountain. They know not as others do of its
bitterness, and that civil war is a scourge
that darkens every fireside, and wrings every
heart with anguish. They are to be coro
misserated, for they know not what to do.
W hence is all this ? It has come because
the pulpit and the press, and the cowering,
unscrupulous politicians of the North have
taught the people that they are responsible
for the domestic institutions of the South
and they can be faithful to God only by be
ing unlaithlul to the compact which they
have made with their fellow men.
Hence those liberty bills, which degrade
the siatute books of some ten of the free
States, and are confessedly a shameless vio
lation of the Federal Constitution, in a point
vital to her honor. We have here presented,
from yenr to year, the humiliating spectacle
of free and sovereign Snaes, by a solemn act
of legalizing the theft ol their neighbors
property. I say theft, since it is not less so
because the sul ject of the despicable crime,
chances to be a slave instead of a bale
of goods."
Portraying the effect of this upon the
S uthern mind, the letter goes on as follow.-:
"I have a brother residing in Mississippi,
who is a lawyer by prof usion, and a cotton
planter, but lias never had any connecti >n
i !-. politics. Knowing the calm and con
n-rvaiive tune of Ins character, I wrote him
a few weeks since, and implored hiiu to exert
his iufluence in allaying the frenzy of the
popular mind around him. lie has repl.ed
to me at much length, and after depicting the
machinations of the wretches to whom 1
have alluded, and the Consternation widen
eigns in the homes of the South, he sa. s it
h the unalterable determination of the South
ern people <o overthrow the governnn at, as
the only refuge which is left to them fr. m
these insupportable wrongs, and he adds
"On the success of this movement depends
my every earthly interest, the safety of m\.
roof from the fiiebnnd, and of my wife and
children from the poison tiagv*.*
'•I eive foa this langmge,because it truth
fully expresses the Southern mitid, winch at
this moment glows a9 a furnace in its ha*red
to the N-Tth, because of thn*e in'ernal agita
tions, Think you thai any people ?an endure
this condition of things 1 When *1
preacher infuses into ins audience the. spirit.,
of assa a sinß and incendiaries * his crusade
against slavery, does he think, as he lie 6
do.cn quietly at night, ef the S uthern homes
he has robbed of sleep, and the helpless wo
men and children he has exposed to all the
nameless horrors of sc. vile insurrection* ?
"I am si ill for the Uumn, because I have
vet a hint, hesitating h<>pe that the North
will d" justice to the South, and save the re
pub! c before the wreck is complete. Bu
action, to be available, must be prompt. It
the free Siaies will sweep the liber'y bills
from their codes, propose a convention of the
States, and offer guarantees wh'ch will afford
the same repose and safety to Southetn homes
ard property < njoyed by those of the North
the impending tragedy may be averted, but
not otherwise. I feel a positive personal
humiliation as a member of the human family
in the events now preparing."
OriNioN or STEVEN A DOUGLAS —In the
discussions before the people of Illinois just
previous to h>s last election to the U. S. Sen
ate, Judge Douglas said :
"I- hold that a negro is not, and never
ought to be a eitizen of the United States
I hold that this government was made up
on a whtte bas's by white men for the bene
fit of white men and their posterity, forever,
ard should be adinintered by white men and.
none others. Ido m t believe the Almighty
made the negro capable of self-government.
'Now I say to you, my tellow-citizens
that in mv opinion,the signers of the Declara
latiou of Indendence had no reference to the
Negro whatever when they declared all men
created equal. They desired to express by
that phrase, which men, men of European
birth, European descent, and had no rrfler
ence to the Negro, the savage Indians or < th
er inleti< ror degraded races. At th it time
every one of the Colonies was a slave hold
ing colony , and every signer of the Declara
tion represented a slave-ho Iding constituency
and we know that none of them emancipated
hisslaveß, much less offered citizenship to
thtm when they epnoi the Declaration."'

To THE EDITOR or THE WYOMING REPUB
LICAN.
Although we are suspicious of the Lena
Luidon mentioned in your paper of Aug. 21,
being but a mere myth 'ofyour rage, crafty,
editorial brain, the criticism upon her con
tributions has evoked a wish to enter, even
unbidden, and at imminent peril, into your
sanc'um. True there are recorded many in
stances of authors being annihilated by the
frown of offended editors ; but we are fear
less, and cam but little for the anger of one
editor. Your criticisms upon Lena's poem,
dt.es not prove you to be of that class of ed
itors whom Fanny Fern justly styles, " Bill
ious wretches, who abuse you because you
can write better than they but it does
prove you to have little of the gentlemanly
spirit that refrains from wourding a young
writer's heart, needlessly ; and further, that
you might study an English Grammar ad
vantag iislj before again praticing the part
of a modern Longinue, as your grainstical
construction differs as entirely from our
standard critics, as "Lena's orthography dif
fers radically with, Webster's." Other con
tributors, who have sent you articles not of
original spelling, but new in other respects,
have seen their productions appear, revised
with a word or two, to render it ludicrous,
and the spelling so novel as to cause them to
mentally question whether you had a new
dictionary of so recent a date that only ed
itors possessed a copy, and their "spelling"
was conformed to it, or you had no proof
reading done in your office, in order to save
printing materials. This exonerates you
from the first supposition ; and we will take
it upon ourselves to clear you from the
charge of accepting anything new, that has
not been proved to be good and orthodox, by
having met oniversal approbation in its
rounds in various exchanges ; and so o'd
and venerable it will be certain of respect and
credence. Yet, perhaps a few contributed
poems and novelettes, original but in or
thographr, might take surprisingly with the
wonder loving public of this age, and double
the circulation of your paper : verbunt s api.
enti.
We do, certainly censure Lena far thrust
ing unworthy rh\mes. and uncouth spelling
upon your notice, when we taae into consid
eration ynnr mighty labors for the good of
the community, that consume so much of
your valuable time; and besides we have
heatd it hinted that you are of that genu a
who wuld rather have manuscripts sent
that were rejec'ahle from your co'umns, for
their authors having employed a word or
phraz- some precedent Enc'iah writer had
brought in use, and 6alalle for those of some
distent j->urnal®.
We spree with yoa that no young writer
should be encouraged bv' seeing her produc
ductiors in the Republican, for two reasons,
first, it m : ght hazard the editrr's hsrd esrned
reputation of possessing an nnuusl amount
of literary tastes and editorial ability, dis
plaved by the increasing worthles*ness of
the paper ; secondly, no authors should yen
ture to offer their articles, until they are
well known in the literary world, unless they
are very rich in money —in which esse it will
he policv to print their productions, most
editors think. Hoping you may soon find
lime to prepare a series of articles for the
benefit of young writers, we will subscribe
our sentiment—•' Suum cuique."

~ The Bedford Goztllt utters much truth in
tlie following
The negro suffrage men are at their old
game. When they were about to 6tart the
"Republican" party, the wire-workers de
nitd that they were "Republics; a," Towed
that they never would go with that party,
oh ! no ! they only wanted to fuse with it
for one election, so as to beat the dastard
"loco locoes," Well, they did fuse with it
and succeeded in d"ing what they intended
to; thry carried over their followers into
the amis of the so called "Republicanism."
Very well The Democrats, then, accused
these leaders with a design to abolilionize
the "Republican" party. Oh ! how vigor
ously they denied it! How angry they be
came at the bare mention of the word Aboli
Hon ! What! They become Abolitionists ?
Never, never: and if their party would en
dorse the doctrines of Abolitionism, they
would be "done with it" lorever. Such
were then protestations ; but no sooner did
they find it safe to announce themselves Ab
olitionists' then they did so, and to-day there
are but few of them who do not glory in t lie
shame of their inconsistency. Thus have
the masses of the opposition to the Democra
cy been led step by step, toward the accom
plishment of the ultimate design of the plot
ters against the perpetuity of the Republic.
Fn>m the very day when the independence
of the colonies was established, there were
men in this country who opposed a republi
can form of government. They wanted, and
now clamor for, a strong that is, a consult
dated, an imperial guvernment. They have
so far succeeded in their purposes, as to es
tablish a military despotism, which sets
aside the Constitution and Laws of the coun
try, and substitutes for them the will of a
tribunal, in the choice of which the people
have not been permitted to take part In
order to sustain this usurpation, they find it
necessary to give the ballot to the ignorant
colored people whose votes they evpeel to
control, and whose enfranchisement, they
believe will result in anarchy and the con
sequent justification of the permament cs
tab*, ishment of a monnrchial form of gov
ernment. We implore ibe people to be on
their guard. If you wait till Republican
leaders show their hand, you will be bound
hand and loot. Now is the time to defeat
them in their nefarious purpose. Now is the
accepted time for all men who love their
country and hope for the endurance of the
Republic, to strke hands and TOW that the
Negro Suffrage Anarchists sball not be suc
cessful.
Tlte Soldiers 1 Voting I.\v,
Shoddy organs are endeavoring to makes
little capital against the Democratic party by
charring that "every one of its members o
the Legislature, orators and newspapers vio
lently opposed the soldier's voting amend
ment." This if an unblushing falsehood.—
No oppositicn was offered to the principle of
allowing soldiers that right, by either legis
lators, orators or presses, but it was frequent
ly stated that the law was raerly intended
'or the benefit of the Republican party, and
that Dern >crattc soljiets would not secure
generally the right to vote under it becauso
their ac'ions were under the control of offici
als of the dominant party. The e'ection sub
sequently held demonstrated the truth of
those statements, for thousand of Democratic
soldiers were disfranchised, while the doors
to fraud were opened wide on the other side.
Tho soldiers themselves saw, and many
now acknowledge, that however good the law
may bo the execution of it was a gigantic
fraud on the ballot-box and a farce upon rep
resentative government.
The Democratic party, although conscious
that the whole intent of their opponents was
to carry the election last fall by fraud and
force, made no issue upon the soldiers' voting
amendment The proof of this is to be found
in the fact that in fourteen counties, casting
Democratic majorities, the amendment was
adopted by Democratic votes. As proofthat
the democracy did not nuke that amendment
an issue, it is only necessary to refer to the
fsct that it carried in the State by one hm*
dred thousand majority ! Had the Repub
lican party that much of a majority iD Au
gust, 1864? If an,then during the throe fol
lowing months that party lost no less than
eighty \housend—fox with all their figures
and frauds they could not exhibit more than
a majority of about twenty thousand in the
following November. These facts make it evi
dent that -'every Democratic legislator, ora
tor an 1 press" did not violently oppose the
soidiers' voting amendment.
A reference to the House journal will also
show that, on the final passage of the amend
ment, ninety one members voted for and
only two against this amendment. Does
that fact add any weigh \ to the shoddy false
hood? The truth of the matter is, that had
the Democratic jarfy of Pennsylvania op
posed the soldiers' voting amendment, it
would have been defeated. For proof of this
e have only to point to the fact that on the
home rote in October last the Democracy had
a majority of nearly a thousand votes.—

SOLDIERS NOT HANGMAN.— Gen. Sherman
lately made a few remarks to some people at
St. Louis, during wnich he seized the occa
sion of an interruption by a sneaking radical
to administer to the Stanton Hunter Holt
hangman's arrangement the following cut.
Said he :

to do to build up a great nation. [A voict

the infamous part of hangman.
A POOR ASSORTMENT TO SELECT FROM
The Ilarrisburg Putciol, of June 13th, pub
lished a letter from an imaginary loyal offict
holder, to clerical friends, which is one of the
best specimen of political satire we have read
in a lung period. Alluding to the common
and insulting intimation ot so-called "loyal"
lecturers that Democrats will be so ashamed
of their course that they will want to change
their nauies and those of their children, the
writer facetiously says :
"What shall I change it to ? If I call my
s*lf Grecly tbey might think that I wrote the
poetry about the "Flaunting' Lie" and the
' Starry Rag." If I call myself Garrison they
will 6wear that I was the chap that denounc
ed the Constitution of the United States as a
covenant with Death and an agreement with
Hell. If I call myself Sumner I might be
mobbed for saying lhat the man who obeyed
the Constitution wasa dog. If I took the
name of Wright, who knows but that I
should* be followed up as the bowling infidel
who said that if God Allinighty did not
abolish s'avery,Ae wasa tvr y gieat scoun
drel , And I certainly shan't call myself
Phillips for fear excited bondholders should
lynch me f>r proposing to sep idiate the na
tional debt. * * If I have to dr<p my old
name and take up a new one you have a d d
po >r assortment in the Abolition vocabulary
to choese from.

Numerical Strength of the urg.-o Popu
lation
From a yist published in the New York
He, aid, it appears that in twelve southern
states there are two hundred and fifty coun
ties, in which the negro population exceeds
the white. The Herald says:
"There are many other counties in which
the two races are very nearly epual, but
with a slight prepondernesg of whites over
the blacks. In the counties enumerated the
blacks wil be able to elect negroes to the
Legislature, vnd iu three of the Southern
States— Louisana, Mississippi tD( | 3„ u th Car
olina—they will have sufficient strength to
control the Legislature and send negroes to
the United States Senate. This brings the
question of universal negro suffrage up in a
new aspect, and forces upon the consideration
of the public that important subject in a so
cial point of view."
Well, suppose the South were to send negroes
to the United Slates Senate ; are they not as
good as the New England Puritans ? Let any
roan in his 6ober senses deny this. The
event would only place the two extremes,
New England and New Ilayti, on an equality
and there would be such a cooing and kiss
ing between the Summers, Wilsons, Greelevs
and the elegant perfumery of the South, as
was never dreamed of in Paradise.
Railroad from Ithaca to the Coal Fields.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of persons
interested in the construction of a railroad
from Ithaca to Towanda, was held at Ithaca
on the 19th mst., with llou. E. Cornell, Pres
ident. The meeting.
Resolved. That the increasing demand for
the products of the coal fields of Pennsylva
nia throughout Northern and Western New
York, and the Canadas and ihe West alone
demand that a speedy effort be made to open
the shortest, cheapest and most av.iilal.le
means of transit.
Reso\ved, ilia'. as the construction of a
railroad from the waters of Cayuga Lake, at
I<haca, to the State line of Pennsylvania, at
or near Waverly, together wifh the already
ex'ention down the Susquehanna, will at
unce open the shortest and cheapest way
through the lakes and large canals to the
Canada* and the V\ est, by which their grow
ing demands may be satisfied : ll is there.ore
resolved, that our efforts be immediately ap
plied toeffict the construction of this por
'ion of the road, as the portion, most iunpor
tant to the final accomplishment of the great
objects undtr consideration.
A committee of eleven wore appointed with
authority to proceed to receive subscriptions,
and to effect an organization of a company
under the general railroad hws of this State,
Before the close of the meeting a sum in ad*
vance of the amount necessary to organize a
company under the pent ral railroad law, was
subscribed and proper steps taiien to push
'he enterprise forward.

"Stick to your home paper. No matter if you

go together. Keep your home paper Remember
that, if it is not so large av.d imposing ns some, it
