RECORDER SUMMERS When we, of the First

certainly be said that we drew the longest
straw.
Yet Recorder Summers is neither man Ct

came into office, straw has fallen to nothing in
price, through the utter stoppage OF its previous
large consumption in the democratic manager,

FLIBUsrIER DESIGNS UPON CUBA.

If the disclosure contained in the following para
graph, which we find in the New York Times Of
Tuesday, can be relied upon, Gas presume it may
be,) the act of the agents of the steamer " EN-
pire City, can be considered in no other light than
that of wilful and wicked attempt to provoke
national quarrel, and involve this country in
difficulty with foreign nation with which we are
now at peace:
We are informed that the manifest of the EN-
Pire City, which sailed yesterday for New Orleans,
intending to touch at Havana, was made out pre-
cisely like that of the Black Warrior, and that the
port officials at Havana will have another opportu-
nifty in her case of summarily setting aside the
practices and usages that have hitherto obtained,
and of conscating her cargo for trifing deviation
from some of their obsolete regulations"
The further information impaired by the New
York Courier, in the annexed paragraph, as to the
forwardness of the military preparations in New
York for the invasion of Cuba, may account for the
step taken by the steamer to bring on collision:
There probably never time when the plans Of
the Cubsn Jnta and those who work with them were 30
well organized and their ample they are at
present. We credbly informed that this island

NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.

CONCORD, MARCH 15.-The result of the cleo
ton is claimed as an nti-Nebraska triumph That
question. has undoubtedly had much weight in the
election though the Democrats persisted in rejecting
it as test Gen. Pierce's own Ward, in Concord,
gave seventy Wing majority. The Wings have SO far
gained y representatives in the State Legislature.
The Democratic majority last year was eightynine.
Many strong Democratic towns are coming in Wing.
It is probable, however, that the Democrats will
have small majority in the Legislature. Mr..

rity for Governor, being Democratic loss Of eight
thousand as compared with last year.

THE NEBRASKA BILL IN PENNSYLVANIA.

The Democratic State Convention of Pennsylva-
MIA which met at Harrisburg on Wednesday, the 9Th
instant, to nominate the following candidates for
State officers, refused to endorse the Nebraska bill
One of the resolutions adopted by the Conven-
ton asserts
" That the Democracy OF Pennsylvania adheres with
unshaken fidelity to the Constitution and Union of the
States and relies upon the compromise Of 1850 the
final adjustment Of the vexed and dangerous question
which then agtated the country and menaced the exist
ence of the Union Upon this rational principle Gov.
Bger entered the contest of 1851, and, with distinct
avowal Of his adhesion triumphantly elected Ad-
herence to its provisions adopted in 1852 dis

Pierce was elected by unparalleled majority, thus
manfestng the popular assent to the terms and cond
tons of the compromise. Regarding it, as we do as

Grated by the efforts and energies of the abest best
OF both great political parties at the time of its adoption
and since twice ratified by the people of this State
therefore ray and adopt the principles laid down in the
Baltimore platform Of 1852"
An amendment was offered by Mr. WRIGHT, of
Luzerne county, in the following words:
Resolved That the bill introduced by Senator Douglas
in the Senate Of the United States known as the Ne
braska and Kansas BILL embodes the true principles of
Democracy as expressed in the compromise Of
1850 and the Baltimore platform of 1852 and therefore
should receive the appreciation and support of the Demo-
cracy OF the Union.
RESOLVED That this Convention composed Of Delegates
representing the Democracy of Pennsylvania endorse the
Douglas BILL and assure the Democratic members of the
National House Of Representatives from this State that
the measure meets the appreciation and hearty
renee Of the Democracy of Pennsylvania.
The President Of the Convention refused to put
the question on this proposition. Our Telegraphic
account Of the proceeding was therefore strictly
correct in stating that the Nebraska resolutions were
choked off," The Democracy Of Pennsylvania,
following the example of New Hampshire, Connoc-
tcut and other Northern States, could not venture
to make this question one of the issues at their
next election
