At the last formal meeting of the Democratic State Central Committee, it was resolved that the State Convention should be called to meet at Har lisborg on Wednesday, the 21st day of June inst But, having since learned from a majority of the Conmiitee, and been advised by many other lead ing Demecrats of the State, that a postponement to later day wou'd,on many accounts, be acceptable, and is generally desired, I hereby give notice that Ibe 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 •M o'clxk P.M. C. L WARD, Chairman, TOWAKDA, June Ist, 1865. X3T The Democratic papers of the State re respectfully requested to copy. fThe Cabinet Organ of Mi-on & Han lin has, for so small an instrument, wonderful volume and power, and a variety of expres •ion that is equalled only by a costly pipe or gan, while its purity and sweetness of tone are truly charming. It is most admirably circulated to meet the wants of families and small churches. It can be transported with safety, takes up no more room than a melode on, does not soon get out of order, and makes an elegant artiele of furniture for the parlor We are but doing a favor to our readers by calling their attention to the Cabinet Organ. —American Babtiat. A Hawsville correspondent of the St. Louis Republican says : "Numerous in stances have occurred of late where negroes have returned from Indiana to former mas ters, and begged to be taken back to their for. mer condition, satisfied with the experiment of living among their friends in the free States. They now think that a comfortable home with a good master is preferable to freedom and the bard task-master they find in the free States." frag" The West is calling loudly for re treuchment in Government expenditure.— The Cincinnati Gazette —black as charcoal tn politics —says "we want no standing i preparation for future wars. The genius of the people will be sufficient for that. Our Government will be compelled to introduce Strict economy in every department of the service, in order to eudure the burdens that the rebellion has brought." THC RADICALS IN MAINE The Convention of Radicals at Port'and bids fair to secure all the notoriety they desire for their assault up on the policy of the President. They notify Mr-Johnson that it is his duty to keep the Southern States under provisional govern-, menta, as they are unsafe depositories of Free Republican Government. They demand ne gro equality, negro suffrage, and removal of distinction of color. They then threaten the President for not trying and executing Jeff Davia at once. These and others make up a mixture of denunciation and praise, in which they reccommend an amendment to the Con •titution establishing equality of representa tion, and declare that the colored people must have confeired upon them, in fact as well as in name, all the political rights of freedom.— These resolutions are not, we think, at all in in accordance with the public sentiment of the people of Maine— once, next to New Hampshire, in Jackson's time, ameng the most Democratic States in the Union. How far partisan manipulations, combinations, and the control of the Executive State officers by the radical wing of the Republican party will now be able to influence results, time will •how.— N. Y. Euyress Aug. 12. Expenses at the White House* The Rochester Democrat explains how the late President Lincoln was able to save fs6o, 000 from his salery. It insists that the trou ble with a President of reasonably frugal habits is not bow to save his salary, but how to spend it. In the first place he has no rent to pay. Congress furnishes the White ll<>use from garret to cellar, and provides all that is needed in kitchen and pantry as well as in parlor. He has no wages to pay. Congress pays his servants, from private secretary to bootblack and scullion. It also provides him with fuel and lights, and pays tho expenses of his stables. It provides him with a garden and a corps of gsrdensrs, who ought to see thst he pays jMthing far vegetables, ot fruits or flowers.— In abort, of the ordinary expenses of house kseping, the only bills the President is call ed upon to pay are the butcher's and the wine merchant's. Even the latter has not fallen upon the recent occupants of the White House, whose cellars have usually been kept well stocked by presents of wines snd li quors. When all these items are deducted, and when it is considered thst it is not etiquette in Washington to call upon the President for contributions to ordinary charities, it can be easily understood how Mr, Lincoln could lay up one half or more of his sslsry. And this economy will be more comprehensible if the fact be, as universally asserted aod credited to Washington, that the expenses of the par* ties snd state dinners occasionally given by by the President were, at Mrs. Lincoln re nested for out of government funds,.— All this was different under former adminis trations, Delegate Eleciion*.

William D. Kelly, and in a letter 'To the Union Men of the F *urth District," pub lished on Tuesday, he makes an appalling expose of the ac< and doings of the ex Sen ator. In reading this letter the of obtaining a correct information possessed by the writer must be 'aken into consideration Mr Cameron and Mr* Kelly are leading members of the saui-.political party. They, are each apostates from their early and hon est C'-nvictiona. They are both aspiring and ambitious. Both love money, and will ven ture neck deep into the dirt)* and disturbed stream of political management to obtain it Thus kindred in qualities, they have hunted over the same ground, if not in company and hence the tracks of the Winnebago chief are familiar to his brother. Tne experienced political manager when on the war path might tread on the rock or travel in the stream toh his ide footsteps,still his younger but not less expert associate would detect them and follow to the end. lo this way Mr. Kelly became acquainted with the secret history of Simon Cameron, and that knowl edge is now given to the world in the letter which follows : To the Union Men of the Fourth Congress ional District, A long and successful career in crime em* boldens the guilty. A recent illustration of this law of human nature impels me to vie latemy life-long rule of conduct, and for ouce to notice a political slanderer, I do not, however, address you for the purpose of re pelling his innuendoes or falsenoods. My life has been passsd among you, and if its record, familiar t<> you all, does not repel ihem, I have lived in vain. My object is sunply to pierce the mail of ill gotten gold in which the slanderer ha* clothed himself, and give you a glimpse o' the loathsome object it protects* The papets of Friday announce that Simon Cameron, of Dauphin county, was serenaded by his friends on the preceding evening at the Girard House in this city, and availed h rnself of the occasion to villify iny C'l leagees and myself, 'Mho Congressmen of Philadelphia," in a speech to the assemblage. I was but a youth, when I first htard the name of Simon Cameron, and it was as the perpetrator of a great crime. lie has been made the agent of the Government to carry a large amount of money, due to them, to the Winnebago Indians, and had taken ad vantage of their ignorance and helplessness to enrich himsell. Those of you who had then attained to manhood, though you may not, after the lapse of so many years, revive the burning indignation with which you re gardcd the infarn- us swindle of tlie poor In diana, will doubtless remember that instead of paying them the specie which theg >vern menl confided to him lor that purpose, he re tamed it, and gave them the notes o the M'ddletowu bank, of whicti he was an owner. At their encamp uent in the rem >te wilder ness these note* Were utterly worthless.— The Indians could not u*e them f>r any pur poe there, nor cary them to Middlet<>wn for redemption. But what was hat to Si mon Cameron ? Was not their loss his gam and wan not he so mucn the richer by eve y note that failed to coinu home for redemption though they did suffer and starve ? And those of you who sre not old enough to re member all this, n->w know why this bold, had man is sometimes spoken of by your seniors as th* "great Winnebago," and sometimes as "Old Ktckspoo." For m >re than thirty years I have watched the tortuous career of this man, and have never seen a reason to abandon ray first im pression of his character. Whether acting with the Democra'ic, the Know Nothing, or the Republican party—for he has in turn disgraced t l em all—he has never been false to his criminaHn-tincts. He has endeavored to turn them all In profitable account, His ambition is sordid and panders to his averice, and he measures honors by the perquisites they expose to htsgrap, He has no confi denee in the people, and is awrre that they distrust htm His speech of Thursday even ing was not characteristic of htm. for he is prone to the use of instruments. Hi* hsbit la to point the sttlerso, but to employ another to drive it home. Though an active partici pant in the politics of his county and State for more than half a century, during which long period he has pursued the profits of office, or jobs of contracts, with eager and ceaseless assiduity, be has never dared to permit h'S name to he presented to the peo ple of his country <r Stato as a candidate for an elective office. He drawls to the feet r f the appointing power He cares not who may be King, so that he may "still be Vicar of Bray;" and to that end he chaffers with and corrupts weak and PC"dy members of Convwn'ions and Legislatures of b ''h parties. 1 need not recite the disgraceful f Cfs at tending his several canvasses for the United sustained each inttuber of it as they did its distinguished head. You can imagine how painful it must have been to thetn to find themselves constrained by duty to proclaim the fact that the first roan tho head of their party had been in duced to appoint as the successor of John B. Floyd had displayed greater aptitude than he for his worst tricks. But it became inevi'a ble, for this old man, notwithstanding his boasted and reputed million*-, believes that one of his name is never rich enough until he has a little more, and, to save their party and the country, the friends of the Adiuioistra tion in the House had to proclaim bis infamy and denounce his crimes. Nor was the vote by which they did it a meagre one. Ilis friends and those who would most gladly averted this disgrace from our State, could rally but about one third of the House against the resolution of coudctnnalion— The vote was about two'lo one against him, though I, as a Pennsylvauian, not willing to bear witness against the representative of our State, bu< too well satisfied of his guilt to vote against the resolution, failed to re curd my vote. In this iact, gentleman,you have the secret of "this distinguished statesman's hostiiiv to me and my friends. Mr. Walborn, the Post master oi Phi'adclphia, and other of his crea tures, have offered me his friendship and sup port if I would endeavor to have that resolu tion expunged- My reply has invanbly been that to ur foul matter would be to produce a stench. I have never in this or aught else endeavored to propitiate him or his creatures. Nosiore may mark the spot where my poor iem>tns may finally rest, bui I mean that toy children shall be able to vindicate my name by pointing to the fact that Stmon Cameron and bis confidential friends were ever hostile to roe. With grateful regards, Yours very truly, WM. D. KELLET. Southern Elections a Sham. The elecnve features of our government are nullified by those in power, who have been sworn before Almighty G>d to obey and preserve them. The Washington au thorities—including the President, appoin'ed provisional Governors for the rebel States with instructions to call conventions and to fix the terms upon which candidates could be a/.ti lable. All this was complied with in Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. The Sou thern people accepted tne terms, and in the noun nations they put forward the men most popu lar in their resp ciive localities ; and as far as the elections have been held, these candi dates have been almost unanimously elected. This was unexpected to those living with in the corrupt atmosphere of Washington,and at certain military headquarters The people had willed it so, and the mili tary da-poiism of the land did not approve of their choice. Tha experience of the past few years, has shown the power of the mili tary, over and the strong arm of arbitrary power was sought to annual the elections. No language can properly describe the iu* fsmy and si aine of this military interference. I' is as defiant, and a hundred fold in<>re eneirdlj ihan accession. It destroys the Federal Constitution, and cravenly seeks the military power to carry its point, in opposi- Hon to the wishes and rights of the people.— In other wards, u is the workings of an ac cursed tni'itary despotism, besotted and reck less, which seeks to fasten the chains of sla*- very upon a free people ! — Sunbury Dem. The Case of William Kessler. William Kessler a poor insane man, of J ickson township, in this county was drafted; but no notice was ever served on him, the officer whose duty it was, saying that it was unnecessary, that he knew him to be insane, and that he would so return the facts. Sub sequently, William Keasler was taken to the Lunatic Aylum at Harrisburg, and by'some means returned home. The not if* i'g officer went into the service and died The way seemed to be clear ; and thirty pieces of greenbacks, a prize not to be lightly discarded. Accordingly one bitter cold night in February last, a squad, followed hv a military officiul, arretted ihe poor luna tic, hurried him from point to point without eiving his friends time or opportunity to hrine the facts before the convicting tribunal; until finally the poor FRIENDLESS INSANE cit'zen, found himself incarcerated in Fort M ffl'n, under spntenc of a C- nrt Martial, to ae nfinement for TWO YEARS WITH BALL AND CHAIN !

NEW YOKK, August 15. Furijier devel opments of the forgery of gld certificates have been made. It appear* that Mr. Edwin Ketchum. of the firm of Morris. Keichum <fc Co., has been in charge of the business of Mr. Charles Gra ham, br>'ker, in Exchange place, during the illness of that gentleman. Upon the return of Mr. Graham to his office, he discovered that several checks were missing from his check book, and tins fact has led to the sus picion that Mr. Ketchum is concerned in the forgery of certain fraudulent checks that have been, within a few days past, brought to light. At all events he is absent. It is said Mr. Graham has been victimized to the extent ol 8285,000 This morning the firm of Ketchum & Son suspended payment, and Graham & C".also announced their inability to meet their engagements. Mr. Graham sta'ed at the Board of Brokers that'jhe hoped to be able to settle all his stock contracts at to-day's prices. Another statement in explanation of the suspension of Morris, Ketchum & Co.,*is that Mr. Ketchum's son had abstracted bonds and other surities from the vaults of the banking house to the amount of §2 000,000. Another statement is that young Ketch um forced g"ld certificates to the amount $2,500,000 which have passed into the cofl' er* of the banks, which will be the principal sufferers. Sifting the various rumors, it seems to be established that young Keichum is guilty of rubbers to the amount of not less than §2, 000 000. lie had for some time taken the place < f his father in the management of the business, and he possessed the fullest confidence ol all who knew him. He left his home last evening and has iKt been traced since. His partners did not suspect their losses yesterday, so adroitly wtre his operations conduced.

HEAVY BANK DEFALCATION AND -SUICIDE. —Heiirv B. -Jenkins, for many years the pav ing teller of *he Phoenix Bank, >f New York was arrested on Thursday on the charge of being a defaulter in the sum of 850,000 The ca-hier, in his affidavit, said that Un accused admitted his guilt, but off.-ied no excuse. Several other parties implicated in the defalcation have also been arrested. John H. E rle ,one of (he parlies implicated confessed lhat he had received .$100, (XX) from Jenkins which had been sunk in stocks A ter being locked up in the station house he committed suicide. On the finer of the cell was found a small pocket knife about two inches long, with the blade about three qur ters of an inch, and of the kind kno.vn as a ladv's pocket knife. This instrument, it is supposed, was concealed on the inside of the lower lip. The deceased was determined on his death ; he first cut a hole near the jugu lar vein, and pushing the knife in worsen round and round till he made a hole in his neck about the size of a quarter of a dollar.
