PROCEEDINGS OF THE
STATE CONVENTION,
AT HARRi sBURG, PA
Mr.. Buchanan the Choice Of Pennsylvania,
&e. Ne. Gt.
L HARRI sBURG, PA.

HARRISBURG, March 4, 1913.
The democratic State convention commenced
its session to-day with display of excitement
rarely witnessed in an assembly of that nature.
The convention was called to order by r. H.
KERR, of Allegheny.
E. A. Penniman and A. Gilmore were appoint
ed Secretaries.
The morning was occupied in receiving the
credentials of delegates and their substitutes all
of which gave satisfaction except one.
Mr.. LowREY, of Crawford, asked for the ap-
pointment of Solomon G. Krick, instead of Mr..
Mcfarland his colleague, who was absent
Mr.. LAMBERroN, Senatorial delegate from We
mango and Crawford counties, opposed the no.
mination, because Mr.. Krlck was not friend TO
Mr.. Buchanan; and he nominated ]. Porter
Braney in his stead
This movement aroused the elements of dis
cord and the whole of the morning session
was consumed in fiery discussion and alterca-
ton between the friends of Mr.. Dallas aud Mr..
Buchanan.
The convention finally recognized Mr. Low
rey's right to nominate substitute, because he
was citizen of the county, and Mr.. Lamberton
was not ; and Mr.. Krick was admitted to a seat
in the convention.
The convention adjourned to halt past two
o'clock, having previously appointed a commit
tee to nominate permanent officers
AS soon as the convention assembled in the
afternoon, the committee submitted the follow
ing nomination of officers, which was agreed to-
Mr.. Charles Trailers, of Schuylklll, was APP
pointed President, and Mr.. Frazier, OF Lancas-
ter, and host of others, appointed Vice Presl-
dents.
The President, on taking his seat, delivered
very neat address.
On motion of Mr.. Stambaugh, OF Lancaster,
il was agreed that the convention should at once
90 into a ballot for candidate for the presiden-
CIV. to be regarded as the choice OF Pennsylvania,
and ,ha, the members should pledge themselves
IN support such nominee at the Baltimore con-
vention.
After some demurring, this was agreed o, and
the vote was taken riva rocs, which resulted as
follows:
James Buchanan. ...'.'''''.'''''.S4 votes
George M. Dallas. .........,.,..,..34 4"
Lewis Cass. ........'..'.........l0
Martin Van Buren,. ..............,..
James Buchanan was hereupon declared to be
the choice of Pennsylvania, as the Presidential
candidate.
Mr.. PENNiMAN, Of Philadelphia, then moved
that the delegates from each congressional die
trc, select one person TO represent each district
in the Baltimore convention, and one TO repre-.
cent the dsiric, upon the electoral ticket,

THE New YORK EXPRESS AND SOUTHERN Doc
TRINKs.-We congratulate the South on the libe-
rality exhibited by the Ne,c York Express to-
wards free dissemination of the doctrines of
the South
This journal yesterday commenced the publ
cation of capital speech delivered by Senator
Yulee, of Flerida-a speech which gives a fair
view of the political doctrines supported by the
South, and prese nted TO the North for their con-
currence. The Express hitherto has been very
hostile to Southern principles, and full of the
ultra and illberal notions of the abohtionists of
the North. Whether this change in its policy
has been caused by truth or tin, we shall not in
aure. 1t is somewhat of considerable access
sion to the cause of national harmony and union
between the ifferent sections of the country,
and we say, ego ahead" We now feel safe,
especially If the opera don't burst up after the
fancy ball.

The steamship Britannia, Capt Lott, arrived
at Boston at eight O'Clock yesterday morning.
She sailed from Liverpool on the 18th Of Feb
ruary, and therefore brings two weeks later
intelligence from all parts OF Europe.
She arrived at Halifax on the I'd inst, at ii
30 A. NJ; left on the same day at 45 p. M,
and arrived at Boston at s A. M. She expert
enced heavy weather.
The news received by this steamer is OF con-
siderable interest to the merchants. Cotton is
up, and corn down, Annexed is the decline in
corn:-

MASQUERADE AT THE PARK THEATRE Why
don't they attempt to get up splendid masque-
rade bali at the Park theatre The fine is only
five hundred dollars. Let them put the tickets
at three or five dollars, throw open the theatre,
appoint committee of respectable people to
manage it, and they might easily get up a splen-
did one. A similar affair was recently got up in
Abany--the fne paid next day and every thing
passed of very well. So will the Opera, if it
don't burst up alter the Fancy Ball

CRISIS OF THE MODEL ARTISTS. exhibi-
tions during the past week, have been worse and
worse-more nakedness and less drapery. There
are FIVE or six places now open every night, one
of them being for colored artists or the exhibit
tion of naked negroes, in Laurens street The
Grand Jury have invoked the Corporation to put
aperiod to this outbreak on decency-the Corpo-
ration, the Mayor and the authorities, remain in
active, under the belief that they have no power
The police have received over $500 to let them
alone-and Of course do so.
new element of moral power is beginning,
however, to show ITSELF and that is among the
rowdies A terrible riot took place at the exhi-
btlon in Canal street, on Friday evening, and
the whole of the interior of that establishment
was demolished the model artists driven off
the stage, and into the street, without rag on
their backs II is threatened that similar riots and
rows will take place al some o. the others. Only
think of the extent OF the indecency now indulg-
ed in-women almost naked, advertised to dance
the polka, minuets, SC. &c. We understand
that the audiences at some of the highest priced
exhibitions, are composed Of highly respectable
gray headed old scoundrels, about town, who
are very rich, and who merely indulge in ina
gination, what they were in their youth.
1t is really astonishing how these exhibitions
are crowded all the regular theatres are nearly
deserted. Satan Yves never so rejoiced-particu-
larly if the Opera should burst up after the Fancy

GENERAL ScoTT COMING HoME.-We have the
best reasons for believing that General Scott
will soon be in the United States The conduct
of the administration towards him will yet re-
ceive terrible overhaulipg.
In the correspondence between him and Gen.
WORTH the opinion is beginning to prevail that
the latter was the most in fault and that the
court of inquiry on General Scott, founded on
such correspondence, was very harsh On the
arrival of the order sent from Washington to
Mexico, General Scott will most likely return to
the United States. This will be the signal for
terrible war in some quarters. Gen. Scott has
many friends in the wing party throughout the
Union, and he will yet be most prominent man
before the whig national convention. A demon
stratlon has already been made for him in Pitts
burgh, Pa, and several more in other towns of
the State, such Snowden, st. CLAIR,
Elizabeth, Jefferson, Versailles, PEBBLES, Sc
Fun is brewing among the politicans-and also
among the fashionables, more especially if the
Opera should burst up after the Fancy Ball.

Mission TO ROME The only opposition to
the mission to Rome, we have yet heard of in
Congress, Is Mr.. Levin, the native representa-
tive from Pennsylvania.
This gentleman made a splendid speech the
other day in Congress, which really contains a
good many good things, expressed with remark
able pungeacy. Mr.. Levin seems to have
caught bit of the mantle of the late John
Quincy Adams, or spark of John Randolph, and
he makes the most of it that any ordinary NOR
tai could do. II Is amusing and interesting to
read his speech; but it does not convince us that
a mission should not be established to Rome
As to the Pope, we think Mr.. Levin's opinions re-
gardng him entirely erroneous. His present
Holiness is probably the most liberal and en-.
lghtened pontiff that has occupied the chair of
ST. Peter for the last thousand years. All the
frightful things about the Pope, the Jesuits, and
other things Catholic, are only fit for amusing
children-not for men of the present age of IN
telligence.
Mr.. Levin begins his role well. Such speeches
will give some relief to the awful stupidity of
the House of Representatves-and SO will the
Fancy Ball, if the Opera should burst up after
wards.

NEWSPAPER CIRcULATIoN.-Two or three jour
mails make some remarks on the statement we
published, giving the aggregate circulation Of the
daily press of this city. The Globe is angry and
conceals, the Sun makes sad misrepresentation,
and the Express, singularly enough, is rather
fair, and probably represents its circulation
within the mark.
We shall return to this subject IN few days,
with additional information, correct our former
table, and give interesting history of the pro-
gress of the New York press for the last twenty
five years.

brokers, or inanciers, 20 assist them in the pre-
sent crisis with Mexico. We now feel easy.
Ifthis intelligence be correct-and we have no
reason 10 doubt tit shows that the rumors re-
Gently circulated, stating that the Rothschilds
would be interested in the governme nj loan, are
not founded on nothing. In fact, this news gives
realization to the idea we have already put forth,
that the Rothschllds and other great capitalists OF
London are casting their eyes towards the
mighty movements of this republic, and are be-
gining 10 think better of the United States, as
an organised nation, possessing great military,
naval, and financial ability. These eminent
fnanciers appear TO be leaving the London and
other markets of Europe in state of repose for
the present; and all their genius, energy, and en-
terprise appear TO be directed towards the United
States and Mexico, and the position of those two
republics negotiating with each other. More
money can be made in these negotiations than
III corn or cotton.
In this aspect the news from England and
Mexico illustrate, explain, and elucidate each
other. A new state of things is approaching,
and the predictions we have made on these
points will yet be realized. We hope, however,
that the Opera won't burst after the Fancy Ball.

Of Judge Collamer, of Vermont,
ON THE
MEXICAN WAR.

DeiiUercd IN the House Of Representatives Of
the y. States Feb l, lS4S.
The House having under consideration the
reference of the Presidents Annual Message
Mr.. COLLAMER, of Vermont, said:
Mr.. SPEAKER:-I have listened, with good
degree ofattenton and interest, to the debates
which have occurred, in this House some
of the subjects contained in the President S
message, and have been DESTROYS of extract
ing from them some general principle. have
heard gentlemen discuss them now for many
days, and have seen the parties,or rather their
leaders, who have spoken here, and VINO have
explained their respective views on the great
questions which now agitate the country
have, too, with regret, heard them indulgIng
in but i'll disguised personalities in regard to
the motives of those who differed from them
in opinion. This has generally been done
with decent respect to de corum, in point OF
form, but gentlemen have evidently been in
Clined to think and to say that those who dIt-
fered with them on the great points OF pubic
policy, and especially in relation to this war,
were enemies of the country. They have, at
least, given the community so to understand
and so to believe. Now n man may differ with
me in opinion, on question deeply interest
ing to our common country, and yet neither
of us be an enemy of that country. The truth
is men erect in their minds n standard of ma
ti0naL prosperity, and they take it for granted
that, if any one opposes their course OF advanc-
ing that prosperity, and especially IL ne actuai-
Iy repudiate it, lie must be an enemy of his
country's prosperity, because their idea OF
prosperity is, exclusively, that standard they
have thus erected. 1t seems to me, Sir, that
the two parties in this House, and in this
country, differ entirely in relation to the great
point of wherein national prosperity consists
if not even in the great ends and purposes OF
government. l can but speak for myself. In
relation to the great ends of government,
have an idea more or less perfect, and IL is es-
sentially this: to promote the good ofthe peo'
pie, to meliorate their condition, to advance
and elevate them in their physical, moral in
tellectuaI, and social condition. The means
to the accomplishment of this end consist in SC

BOLD ROBBERY AT THE U. S. ARsENAL.-A
daring robbery committed in the course of Thurs
day night the Oath inst, at the United States Arse
nal, on the Gray's Ferry road There must have
been several engaged. The shoe-store close to the
wall was broken into, ransacked and rihed and the
tire-proof, in which there was between 81 900 and
$1,000 in specie, was taken out of the window and
over the wall, and carried the distance of some
three hundred yards and thrown into the Schuyl-
kill. When the tide fell on Friday morning it left
the safe exposed. 1t had not been opened, and the
money was Of course untouched. The object of the
Villains doubtless to return at the earliest IA
