DEMOCRATIC
STATE CONVENTION.
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.

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,

obtaining a correct information possessed by

Mr Cameron and Mr* Kelly are leading
members of the saui-.political party. They,
are each apostates from their early and hon

ambitious. Both love money, and will ven

Thus kindred in qualities, they have hunted
over the same ground, if not in company

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 !
Who shall answer at the great day, fnr the
unexampled suffering this innocent lunatic
has endured !
We are glad to add, ihat upon the facta
; being marie known to Preaident Johnson, he
j immediately ordered Keller's release and
discharge, and to be re'nrned in charge of a
guard to his home in Jackson township

of Washington College, at Lexington, unant

Lee was long a professor at West Point, and
now that his ' military occupation is gone,"
perhaps forever, we trust we may find it to

i him there."

Astounding Financial Frauds iu New
York.
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.
E I ward Ketchum, who has absconded, is
twenty five years of age, and has been mar
ried two or three years, and has one child.
Before departing he left a letter for his fa

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.
