Democrats state Convention.

eW- We were duly honored last Wednesday
evening with flying sort of visit, by General
CAss and his gentlemanly attendant and Secre-
tary, Mr.. GEORGE T. Frost Esq. They came in
the dusk of the evening and left us the next
morning at the dawn of day. We will state for
the benefit of the anxiously inquiring wings,
that at o'clock in the evening the General par
took of a very light supper, of not half of the
substance or consistency of plate of soup
hastily got up. During supper and the balance
of the evening, he was very agreeably engaged
in conversation with his friends and acquaint-
ances, of former days, and at the same time very
cordially receiving and saluting all those that
were disposed to make his acquaintance. All
here were anxious to see and become personal
ly acquainted with the man that has been so
viainously traduced by wing slang-acords and
wilful misrepresentation The only noise
and confusion (whig expression,) that attended
his visit here, was made by an exuberance OF
good feeling among the friends in his train.
General CAss, will undoubtedly give good
account of his visit to the northern portion OF
the State; although but little time was devoted
by him in cleaning matter by personal observa-
ton, for an address at the State Fair of this
week.

then the cars in passing over bridge, brought
both her hands to her ears, her head settled firm

THE STATE CANVASS.

Very little interest has yet been manifested
by the democrats Of Michigan,n reference TO the
approaching canvass. The cause for this may
be found in the fact that there are no important
questions of State policy which will be likely TO
call for legislative or executive action during the
executive year; no internal controversies in our
party ranks to be smothered and kept out of
sight by adroit party management--no vexed
questions of Presidential succession to be affect
ed by this or that particular move on the polti-
cal chess board With the democracy, all is fair
and open sailing. Even the once grave and
much mooted question of locality of candid
ates," does not now excite sufficient interest to
call out ten line paragraph With the conf
dence which an almost unbroken chain of sue
cess since the formation of the State govern
ment has inspired the democratic masses, it is
not unnatural that these additional causes sho'd
at this time, produce the calm and sober quiet
which we now witness. But democrats should
beware lest that quiet terminate in utter indiffer-
ence 1t is always best to "agate" the waters
little-enough, at least, to prevent them from
becoming stagnant. We may as well, therefore,
begin to {" talk matters over,"-to counsel and
advise together, and to take such preliminary
measures to put our forces in fighting order, as
shall place the final issue beyond every possible
doubt or contingency. 1t is no less important
that the administration of our State affairs be
retained in democratic hands now, than it was
two or ten years ago.
Democratic principles ard democratic policy
are just as good now as they were then; wing
principles and wing policy are not whit less
banefu and pernicous. Were proof of the lat
ter statement wanting, it is at hand in the repu-
diation of wing rule, at the present moment, in
over three-fourths of the States of the Union.
Michigan was never cursed with but one wing
administration, and as long as the evidences of
the proiigacy, folly and corruption which mark
ed its career, are kept before the eyes of the
people, she will never be cursed with another.
1t is only by neglectng to make use Of the
means which are at their command, that the
democrats can be beaten. If the government
of the State shall fall into the hands of the Phil
sines, it will be when the young Samson, De-
mocracy, shall cast himself into the lap of Deli
lah, and suffer himself to be shorn Of his locks
To perform that operation at this present time,
Just for the accommodation of few score of
political invalids in the wing ranks who are p-
ming for the public pap, would be greater
stretch of benevolence than the democracy are
called upon to exercise. A very moderate share
of exertion on their part will set the universal
wing party Of Michigan Keeling Salt Riyerward,
but we "put it" to our friends, here and every
where, if while we are about it, we may not as
we'll put in an extra lick" or two, and give the
wings taste of Salt River water a little higher
up than they have ever yet been known to trav-

Persons who practice deceit and artifice al
ways deceive themselves more than they deveive
others. They may feel great complacency in
view Of the success of their doings but they
are in reality casting a mist before their own
eyes. Such persons not only make false es-
innate Of their own character, but they estimate
falsely the opinions and conduct Of others
Would you read things rightly within and with
out do not lead others amiss See that your
motives are right, and then let them be apparent.
No person is obliged to tell all he thinks but
both duty and self-interest forbid him ever to
make false pretences.

WHY DIDN'T lie TAKE THE PAPERS ?-The
Portsmouth Dispatch tells Of a speculation in
peaches in that vicinity. One of their citizens
went to the orchard of large grower, which
probably contained 1000 bushels, and he offer
ed the owner one dollar per bushel for all he
had and take them from the orchard. The offer
was accepted, and the purchaser teegraphed to
Cincinnati, to a fruitist, and in two hours the
peaches were again sold at 50 per bushel, deliv-
cred at the orchard. So the one who raised the
peaches received 900 for his crop-a great
price-the Spectator $1,000 for few hours
work, and the one who has possession of the
crop will realize $4,000 or $4,000 profit Pref
ty good business, that But had the former Ia
ken the papers, he would have received, in all
probability, $4,000 instead of one thousand for
his crop.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION AT LANCASTER, PA.
That portion of the democratic party who are
opposed to the Hon. james Buchanan, and in
favor of Gen. Cass for the Presidency, and Col.
Bigler for Governor, met in convention, to-day,
Sept. TO-, at the Court House, for the purpose

Among other resolutions, the committee re-
ported the following, which was adopted -
Resolved, That as heretofore, the people of
the county of Lancaster, Pa, are in favor of
Lewis Cass, of Michigan, for the next President.
Though there are other citizens of this great
Union who have high merits and strong claims,
we postpone them all in favor Of those of the
glorious principle of non.interventon, and the
great democratic advocate who so ably exerted
himself in the settlement of the slave controver-
sy. The gallant soldier in the feld-the first
among debaters in the Senate-the Minister
who, with honest republican firmness, upset the
deep laid schemes of European diplomacy--the
friend Of Jefferson and of Jackson--he has
crowned long life Of the most brilliant public
services by the PRONUNCIATION, advocacy and pas
sage through Congress, of those principles on
the embittered and dangerous question ofnegro
slavery which have removed the last risk from
the path Of our nations destiny.

LAST MOMENTS OF LOPEZ.

We copy from the N. Y. Sun the following
account of the execution of Gen. Lopez. 1t diff
fers in some respects from accounts already pub
lished:
At the fatal hour Gen. Lopez was brought
out, and assembled the platform with firm step.
His person was enveloped in white shroud.-
The executioner then removed the shroud, and
there stood the General in his full military uni
form before the assembled multitude.
His appearance was calm, dignified and hero
ic. Not muscle qnivered. He looked upon
the preparations for death unmoved; his coun-
tenance changed not, and his whole bearing was
firm and manly.
The executioner now removed his embroder-
ed coat, his sash, cravat, and all the insignia Of
his military rank, in token of his disgrace.
Gen. Lopez, with his hands bound tightly TO-
gether in front, stepped forward, and in strong,
clear voice, slowly spoke to those around as fol-
lows:
81 pray the persons who have compromised
me, to pardon me as pardon them.
any death will not change the destinies of
Cuba. THE executioner, standing little be-
hind, here interrupted him in an insulting tone,
with 'Come, be quick, be quick.']
Gen. Lopez, turning his head partly around,
fixed his eye on the man, and said sternly, grit
ing his teeth WATT Sir He then continued
"Adieu, my beloved Cuba! Adieu, my breth-
rem p
The Gen. then stepped back, seated himself
on the stool. A priest with the cruci6x and ia
per stood on one side of him, the executioner
on the other The collar was then placed a.
round the prisoners neck. The priest now pla-
ced the cruciix between the Generals hands,
and just as he was in the act of inclining his
head to kiss it, the executioner swung the fatal
screw, and the head Of the unfortunate man at
the same instant dropped forward, touching the
crucifix. He never moved again. There sat
the body of one of the bravest men that ever
drew breath, but moment ago alive, now a
CHASTITY corpse.
The execution was conducted in the most Or
derby manner, and in perfect silence. No shout
ing or any other exhibition ofappause was man.
ifest. Whether this was the result Of the news
from New Orleans or the express orders of the
Captain General, is not known.
Immediately after the execution, Gen. Lopez S
body was taken down and privately buried.

THE SANDWICH IsLANDs-TRoUBLE WITH
FRANcE-The President of the French repub-
lie, it would seem, if current reports be true, is
not very strongly disposed to cherish very cor
dial relations with the United States. He af-
fects to be thoroughly liberal in his political
views, but some of his courses, since his eleva-
ton to the Presidency, bespeak hankering af-
ter the diadem of France; and while he courts
the despotisms of Europe, and brushes the Ro-
man republic with an armed force, and refuses
sympathy to Kossuth, he also manifests dis
position to pick a quarrel with the U. States,
unless it "concurs" in his subjugation of the
Sandwich Islands; and it is said he is disposed
to ally with the British government to "protect"
Cuba, and threatens the United States, if they
interfere.
Well, it seems that the contest must come,
between the despotisms and monarchsts of Eu-
rope and the republican principles of free Amer
lea. Let it come. We learn correspondence,
of a racy character, has taken place between Mr.
Webster and the French government, respect
ing the Sandwich Islands. 1t will probably be
placed before the public ere long. We predict
the French gentleman has the worst of it. The
people of this country should be awakened to
what is going on. N. Y. Herald.
