tlike carton crow, after having betrayed the
Democracy of the state, violated his pledges,
TO those who elected him, and voted with
the Wings.
CMr. Frazer's remarks were scathing re-
buke to the perfdious Senator, who was
present and complacently swallowed the
whole dose. The remarks of Mr.. Frazer
we believe were stenographed, and'we shall
publish them in full il we can obtain them.
The resolution was adopted unanimously.
Charles Conner C. r. Mann and Hon.
Samuel Oaks are the Corresponding COM
mittee for Columbia county.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Committee appointed to investigate
the charges of bribery and corruption made
report in writing. They exonerate all the
candidates. Messrs Green and Dopahoe
swear that VIM. B. Ranken paid Donahoe
$50 on Thursday evening just before the
meeting of the convention, for his vote on
the next ballot for Edward B Hubley. They
also swear that Samuel Ovenshine paid Mr.
Green 800 on the sams evening and for the
same purpose. Green and Donahoe at first
consulted whether they should take the
money, or make an exposure with mt doing
30. They finally took the money, agreeing
that when Donahoe voted next time in the
convention he should hold up the money
and deslare it the price Of his vote. They
then on reflection sent for Mr. Johnson to
make an exposure rs soon as the conyen-
tion met, which ilo diu, as appears by last
nights report. The money is that exhibited
before the convention. Four $40 notes are
on the Middletown Bank, the others on the
Harrisburg and Schuylkill Co. Bank. One of
the deponents says that when the money was
handed to him it was accompanied by the
remark General Cameron always remem-
bers his friends"
Ranken and Ovenshine admit pa ying over
the money, and in theif depositions say that
IT was loaned to Green and Donohue and not
given as bribe to vote for any candidate.
They say that Green first made application
to Ranken 10 borrow money, and that Ran
ken got it of Ovenshine and paid it over.
They say that Green then asked for another
loan for his friend Donahoe, who, he said,
was also in want of money. Ovenshinc, at
the request of Ranken, then paid $50 to Dom
ahoe. We shall publish the full report as
soon as we can obtain copy.
After the report was read resolution was
read adopting the report and severely cen :
suring Messrs Ranken and Ovenshine.
Mr.. Gillis offered an amendment to expel
Messrs. Green and Donahue from the Con.
vention.
Mr. Johnson offered an amendment to tho
amen dment rendering to Messrs.Green and
Donahoe the thanks of the convention for
their prompt and honest exposure of this
attempt at bribery. These men said Mr. J.
took this money not as a base bribe, but to
hold the gilded villains up to the scom and
honest indignation of every man who shall
meet them. They promptly exposed the
fraud If they had been citizens of ancient
Rome, i. would have been decreed that they
had served well the republic The money
hal to be taken as proof. There must be
some way 10 catch the Indians that shulk a.
round US. II Green and Donahoe would
have come into this convention, declaring
that an attempt had been made to bribe them
men here would sneeringly have called for
their proof, and declaredit was a crusade
waged against particular candidate.
DR.. Lambert thought there was middle
course of reason in this thing. Ranken and
Ovenshine were TO be severely censured, but
they are beyond the reach of the conven-
ton. Donahoe and Green should never have
suffered themselves TO be approached by
bribes, and are not without blame. They
too should be censured.
Judge Thompson too thought that Green
and Donahoe were not blameless in allowing
themselves to be approached with bribe s
and was for censuring them.
Mr.. Hickman said it was the wicked in
tent and the corrupt heart alone which made
the taking of money a bri'e. It was the
perverse soul that contaminated the man
who touched it.
DR.. Stokes said, he felt that the conven-
owed it to the Democratic party rather TO ex-
pose than to conceal fraud. If these men
Donahoe and Green are expelled shall be
compelled to leave the convention, and I
know that shall not be alone. They have
but done their duty and could not have done
less.
Mr.. Johnson Withdrew his amendment,
and in doing so desired TO protest against the
convention making itself an acconplice in
crime by screening villains, or censuring
those who exposed base fraud and briberI'
He sneered at the idea of Donahoe and
Green wanting TO borrow money to the a.
mount of 500 each. What delegate would
need that sum here? And these, men in
easy circumstances, who though they may
not own line OF omnibusses, are honest
men, and not without means of their own.
Mr. ellis. But they had already borrow
ed $50.
Mr.. Green. I deny it.
Mr.. ellis. Ihave been informed so by a
gentleman here.
Mr.. Green-Name him.
Mr.. Gillis-I am not authorised to do so,
