CALL OF THE
STATE CONVENTION.
OF The State Central Committee.

OF The State Central Committee.
To the Democracy Of Pennsylvania
1t has become the painful duty of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee to announce to
their feow-ctizens the death of their distin-
sgsished candidate, HENRY A. MULLEN
BERG. In the midst of his family, surrounded
by his friends, and apparently enjoying vigo-
rous health, he was suddenly struck down by
'apopexy late in the evening Of Saturday, the
10th Of August, lSll, and soon ceased to exist.
His kindred have lost a cherished object of af-
fectionate veneration-his country has lost one
other wisest, purest and most useful sons-and
his republican associates have lost champion
of whose private virtues they were proud, and
under whose auspices they were tremendously
fastening 20 achieve great political triumph {!
A calamity such as this must be impressive
to ALL Let as not, however, usurp the right
which belongs 10 others, Of adequately doing
honor to the memorj of the deceased. Let US
remember that we have peculiar and sacred du-
ties TO discharge, which no regrets or sympa-
ties, however profound, should be permitted to
interrupt or retard.
Your committee having rapidly met on this
distressing occasion, and having carefully con-
sidered the nature and extent of their powers.
came to the unanimous conclusion that it was
incumbent upon them, without delay, to call to-
gether again, at this place, and at the earliest
practicable period, the Democratic Convention
held on the 4th of March last. Sufficient time
yet remains to enable this representative body
to ascertain, and formally to announce the sen.
timents Of their constituents, in designating, as
a substitute for the lamented Muhlenberg, a
Democratic candidate for the Chief Executive
office of the State, The following was there
fore adopted
Resolred, That the affecting dccease of Hen
the Democracy of Pennsylvania, and that the
members Of the Democratic Convention held on
the 4th of March last, be earnestly requested
10 re-assemble at Harrisburg, on MON
DAY, the 2d OF SEPTEMBER, lSi4, at
40 o'clock, A. NJ, to aon,nste a candidate for
the Office of Governor.
Democrats. it is in exigencies such as the
present, that your devotion to the cause Of Ii
berty and your Country, and your unconquera-
ble energies can be best exhibited! Let every
man now, in this hour of offiiction, show the
spirit that is in him. A good and glorious lea
der has fallen as he was conducting you to VIC
tory Let your own ranks supply his place,
and without making single halt, press onward
10 the success before you,

SIR The sudden death of HENRY A. MuH-

The Central Committee have deemed it their

in an emergency so pressing, and in an interval
50 limited previous to the election.-As mem

SIGNED BY THE COMMITTEE.
A SLIGnT ERRoR-The Catholic Herald has
re-published the Pope's circular in Latin, From
the Philadelphia Gazette--which is excellent au-
thority in this case-we learn that the transla-
tion which made the Pope say some hard things
against our Bible societies was incorrect. The
Gazette gives the Latin and the translation, OBJ.
serving that the word, "super" should be inter
preted "in regard to" or concerning" which
we copy,
"Confrmamus insuper ct renovamus Auctori.
tate Apostolica super memoratas prescriptions

Which we translate thus -
Moreover, we confirm and renew, by apostle
lical authority, the above mentioned ordinances
long since promulgated in REGARD 10 the publ
cation, distribution reading and the possession o
the books of Sacred Scripture translated into ia,
