PENNSYLVANIA STATE CON-.
VENTION.-A Convention of Delegates
from every county in the State, with the
exception of Lebigh and Greene, consist
ing of Que hundred and ten in number, as.
sembled at Harrisburg on the 4,h inst. to
nominate an Electoral ticket favorable ts
the reelection of Mr.. Adams to the Pres
idency. An address to the People Of
Pennsylvania was adopted by the Conven-
ton, and an Electoral Ticket unanimously
agreed to. The National Intelligencer of
The OH, in reference to this meeting, re-
! marks
The accounts by Yesterdays mail from
Harrisburg are Of the must cheering ma
lure to the friends of na'ional freedom, of
peace abroad, and of tranquility at home.
Letters received fiom several gentlemen
who were either Mclrters or Spectators
Of the Pennsylvania Democratic Conven-
ton, (Which has just been held there)
give the most gratifying assurances that
there is no doubt that Pennsylvania will
be true to her own interests, and to those
OF the Confederacy of which she is so inn
portant member. The deluson which
has palsled her energies is passing away;
the giant is awake, and viii cast off indig-
nantly the pigRy bands which have been
wovc about him. Once again. as more
than once before, we shall see Pennsylva-
! pia, Virginia, and North Carolina, march
ing in line, with even step, to breast the
assaults of party, and vindicatc the princ;.
Piles which lay ut the foundations of the
administrations of JEFFERSON, Of MApr-
SON, and MoNRoE, and which have thus
far eminently characterised that of Mr..
ADAMS. We believe that the same whole
some spirit is at work also in the State Of
NEW York: but it is a qualification to
know that, should the influence Of New.
York once more, as often before, be pare.
lyzed by party combinations and by secret
organization amongst her own politicians,
! the Union is safe, without her aid. The
complete success Of the late Democratic
Convention at Harrisburg; the bright pro-
mise Of success in North Carolina: the
certainty Of complete success in Ken
| lucky; the unopposcd reelection of Gov.
Kent, in Maryland; the small, but bright
"sign," furnished by the result of the late
Charter Election at Pitisburg, all shed
beamng light on the prospect before Us,
and must fill the heart of every unpledged
patriot with Joy and consolation. We
congratulate even those who are opposed
TO US, upon the probability of their defeat,
in the approaching contest, believing.
most firmly, that. Of these who are not
actuated by merely personal motives, four
fiiths will inwardly rejoice, though they
have, some how or other, been brought
into an organized Opposition, that that
Opposition fails Of success. Their hearts
are not in it, and still less are their iudg.
men,s. From Old Virginia, we may ex.
pect 10 hear, in few DAYS, a cordial re-
sponse to the voice of her Sister States.
