The Report shows that the intention OF our

difference than between nomination and

PENNSYLVANIA Railroad.

We are glad to learn, says the PennsM
canaan, that the additional subscription to
the stock of this company is fast filling up
The whole number of shares requisite to
complete the road, without a resort to
loan, (Which all the stockholders are anx-
ious to avoid,) when the subject was agita-
ted in January last, was 2O,7OO-and of
this, 5000 are absolutely taken-4, 400
conditioually, leaving 7,435 TO be taken
deficiency in round numbers Of $4,000
We hear that there is strong probability
that 100000 of this will be subscribed
for by the districts of the Northern Liber-
ties and Spring GardeE-but whether or
not, there should be no hesitation in filling
up the balance, even if viewed in the light
of paying operation. The So miles al
ready completed-begnning al II arrisburg
and ending in the woods-produces an in
come of $1,000 day, principally from
passengers. When the road is in running
order to Hollidaysbrug, which it will be
the lst of October, the income may be sci
down at full $4,000 per day, or about seq.
en- hundred thousand dollars a year-the
interest on over eleven million of dollars
more than the whole road will cost when
completed.
The construction of the road has thus
far cost less than the estimates of the En-
gineers, and lis management is conducted
with care and economy. OF it's impor-
tance to Philadelphia there can be no ques-
ton, and we hope the present effort to ex-
pediate its completion will be attented with
entire success.

Democratic Comfy Convention.

The call of the Chairman Of the Demo
cratic County Committee for Conven-
ton Is Nominate County Ticket viii be
found in to-day's paper. This is matter
in which every Democrat must feel live
ly interest, and in which duty requires
him to take part. The late Apportion-
ment Bill throws SO many advantages into
the hands of the Wings, that every effort
must be made on the part of the Democ-
racy towards uniting our entire force and
acting harmoniously together, if we desire
TO maintain our ascendency throughout
the State. And in selecting Delegates to
our County Convention, great care should
be taken TO send such men only as ale
known to be unwavering Democrats, en-
Ijoying the entire comic dence of those they
represent, and who viii act with an eye
single 10 the welfare and harmony of the
party.
In connection with this subject, we beg
leave 10 suggest to the Convention, the
Propriety of appointing the Delegate to
the next State Convention, in addition to
the usual business which comes before
them. We are aware that this is some
what out of the usual course of things in
this county, but we think that every man,
on reflection, will come to the conclusion
that the movement is iudlcious one, and
that the best interests of our party demand
It's adoption. 1t would obviate the neces-
sity of calling another convention for that
express purpose, and would also prevent
"a repetition Of those scenes of excitement
and turmoil which have been too frequent
ly enacted in the Court House, and which
are always calculated TO weaken our
strength. Indeed, we think the annual
Convention should transact all the busi-
ness that would be likely TO come before
the party for the ensuing year. We mere
ly make this suggestion at this time, in
the hope that the members of the Conyen-
ton will regard it as Of sufficient import
ance 10 merit their serious consideration
