LANCASTER CONVENTION.

Thexoung men's convention held at LIN
|cas'er on The 9th inst. was, without doubt,
|he largest convention ever held in this
State. Not less than 10000 delegates
|wcre in attendance. The procession com
|menced forming about 10 o'clock, and pre-
senIed one of the most imposing speciacles
ever beIeld in this country. Twenty thous-
hnd democrats, assembled from all parts of
the state, moving in body, with banners
|aying, with inscription indicative Of their
Htlings and principles, minging their hearts
|and hands and voices in defence OF their
tme honored motto, " irtue, Liberty and
|Independence, was noble aud heart cheer
ing exhibition. In the language OF the
=" Magician y
q TO behold the farmer, al a comparative
liz busy season of the year, forsake The barn
and the lield-lhe mechanic lay down his
implements and rally forth from the work
shop--ttle labourer throw aside his plck-axe
and his sbovel--ths merchant forget his
to meetih happy communion around the al
tars Of their coau!ry's freedom, swearing
| with renewed fervour to defend them from
g sack and pIlage," was indeed spectacle
Of unsurpassed moral subIimity, painful on
| ly 10 these who witnessed tie Illustration
OF all their unholy plots in the demanstra-
| non. As such the Lancaster Convention
will never cease to ill conspicuous page
in the history of the proud and noble "kEY-
sToNE," and will, in all after time, be re-
ierred 10 as an epoch in our annals, memo
rabe for It's mighty works and for the high
and stern resolve by which it was elected" 5"
The Convention was organised by the
appointment of the Hon. James Buchanan
as President. This was received by six
hearty cheers, making the welking ring, and
MIR. Buchanan in an able and eloquent ad-
dress returned thanks for the distinguished
honor. A long array Of Wise Presidents
and Secretaries were also chosen, resou-
lions in favor of VAN BUREN,, JOHN
SON and PORTER, were unanimously
adopted, and addresses delivered by Messrs.
| DA1LAs, PAGE, BUCHANAN, Of Baltimore,
Judge PORTER, and others, when the vast
multiude was dismissed.
We have not space for any further partic
ulars this week, but shall in our next give
detailed account Of its proceedings.

We have not time 10 follow the iide man
through all his ualicions and enyious wind
ings 10 deprecidte the advantages of Bloom
and vicinity for the mandatory Of Iron.-
His determination to destroy the business
prospects oil every portion of the county,
except Danville, is too evident TO every one,
TO require any thing more than merely to
be pointed at to show the baseness and de-
prayity Of his heart, and the hypocraey of
his professions, when he expresses wish to
see other portions of the county flourish
His column of misrepresentation and false.
hcods in relation to the " Fishing Creek
water power" and his assertion of his
"pcsitive knowledge" tha! no iron works
will be erected on the Creek, are of piece
with his whole life, and has as little truth
to sustain it as he has honesty in his char
acter. His " "thrust" at the Iron Compa-
NY" or at individuals, will not make them
rush into busines until they are prepared 10
commence their works without the neceSSa-
ry finds TO enable them to at least pay their
sUorkmen, and not compel them TO wait for
months, aye, for years for their wages, or
hove them of with orders on stores, when
they would be compelled to pay double
price for every thing they buy, and thus
cheat them out Of half, if not the whole, of
their hard earnings. No, whenever they
commence business, it will be upon the
"specie basis" principle, that they may not
be haunted and dunned for debts Of fUe or
ten dollars due workman, and finally be
compelled to transfer /" stock and flute" to
pat of the day of payment, perhaps forev-
scene shifting" operations with them
No condemning others for doing their duty,
while they have been negligent Of their
own. Theirs will be a permanent establish
menl, calculated to benefit the community
around them, as well as themselves. No
"gourd-lika growth" coming into exis-
teice to-day, and going out tomorrow ,and
inaiciing misery and want on thousands oi
poor laborers and mechanics. Nor will they
be managed by reckless spectators, who
have every thing to gain, and nolhng to
loose, but by responsible citizens who are
knoiOn, and in whom the community can
con6de. Such an establishment will be a
blessing and not curse, and such one
will be erected OH Fishing Creek and that
without steam, before many months shall
have passed, the whining, croaking and
Misrepresentation of the H!ie man 10 the
contrary Notwithstanding.

"HE unparalleled success which has
attended The CAsKET since it came
into the hands of the new pIopretors, in
duces them to begin a new volume with
still further attractions on the first Of jan
uary next. Its literary character, which
has called forth so many comments, will
undergo no change; as the magazine will
still continue under The control Of the same
editors. Several new contributors, how
ever, of high talent, have been engaged
besides those who have already been en-
listed 10 its favor. The magazine will be
enlarged, and will contain greater guam,
tity of reading matter than any periodical
published at the same price in this coun-
try.
The work will appear in a new and
beautiful type, cast expressly for the pur.
pose, and will be printed on the fnsst pa.
per. 1t will also be ornamented with
The Finest Steel Engrauings,
provided at heavy expense, and execu.
red from the choicest designs. TO vary
the style of these illustrations, the servl.
ces Of distinguished artists have been en-
gagged to furnish at intervals, Mezzo,ints
for the ensuing volume. The heads OF
several Distinguished American Writers
will appear in the course of the year.
The publishers, determined to leave noting
undone 10 merit the patronage OF liberal
public, have resolved, after much sollcIta-
ton from many of their fair readers, TO
publish quarterly, an extra,
A correct plate ofthe latest fashion, highly
colored,
and executed in the first style of the art.
This department will be under the control
OF a French gentleman, of much taste and
experience; and will be found 10 excel
any thing ever attempted in this line in
America.
The extra in the present (November)
number, may be considered fair speci-
men of what these fashion plates will be.
The music department, as heretofore, will
be under the charge Of Messrs. g. w.
Hewitt, &C.,, aud the fine peices of copy
wright music which they have hitherto
furnished are sufficient guarantee for
the future.
The hattering Terms in which the Cas-
ket has been noticed by the journals in
every section of the Union, establish be-
yond doubt its claims to support gener-
ally. 1t will surpass any other work in
the return it gives for the readers money.
TERMS-$3 per annum, invariably
in advance, or two copies for fire dollars.
All communications to be addressed,
