Democratic and Whig Conventions.

The Philadelphia SHzaay Dispatch, a
paper with strong Locofoco proclitives,
has an article Oh the late Democratic and
Wing State conventions, " hich holds forth
as follows, in regard to the resolutions, or
platform adopted by the two bodies:
The Democratic Convention yc-endors-
ed the Baltimore platform and rcassured
the public that its organization vas pied
ged to the Compromise and the maiutcn-
ance of the peculiar In>titation." An
effort vas made in the Committee charged
with the responsibility of setting forth u
series of resolutions or political code, to
endorse the Nebraska and Kansas bill;
but it was known that Governor Bigler
dreaded a fair issue before the people, and
therefore caused the resolution endorsing
Senator Douglas pet measure, to be
smothered. An attempt was made to OBJ
tain an expression, but the Chairman with
hot and indecent haste, put the question
on the resolutions, as reported from the
Committee them as carried
and then, with unparalleled effrontery
declared the Convention adjourned Slne
DIE, amidst a scene Of excitement and de-
nunc alton almost without parallel. The
Dem ocratic party, therefore, the men Of
Hickory, have bent themselves to slavery,
and its extension. They have compro-
missed their ancient code as friends of lib
erty, equality, and the rights of man, and
their unholy alliance stinks in our nostrils,
as unclean and only fit to be spoken of
with reproach
The opposition, with manlincss have
grappled with the great issue, as eviden-
ced In their resolutions. They present an
honorable front to battle With They do
not dodge the question, but speak in tones
which excite our applause, admiration and
esteem, There is no groundmole expedi
ency on the Nebraska and Kansas oues-
ton, but manlIness and straight forward
course, which entities them to all honor
and praise. 1t is with deep regret for
our ancient landmarks, that we are called
on to administer the words of reproofI
and condemnation, for we had hoped bet
ter things from "The Democracy"-but,
our leaders have gotten drunk on the
spoils of Office. and in their raving used
the stiletto Of assassin, and stabbed us to
the heart Our adversaries will fight for
a glorious principle, while We skulk like
slaves in the dark! Who doubts the re-
suit?

TRUE.-The Members of the late Board
of Revenue Commissioners, in their final
Report to the Governor, use the following
language.
I" The public works, or portion OF
them, will, in all probability, be sold; il
for no other reason, at least for the one,
that the State cannot afford to keep them.
The experience of the last five years shows
that however profitable they might be to
individuals or companies at moderate
cost, they would be dear to the Common
wealth as mere donation. SO far from
defraying any part of its original costs, or
even all the interest thereon, the system
is constant drain upon tax payers for its
own support. And when that burden
shall be shaken off, and part of the
public debt paid by the proceeds, an in
crease of the revenue derived from direct
taxation will be unnecessary"

FmDGrtant Decision.

Judge Pearson, of Harrisburg, recently
m made an important decision as to power
of courts of Quarter Sessions to reroEe
licences. A rule was granted on james
Gowan, Of Harrisburg, to show why his
license should be revoked, on account OF
violating the law, in selling liquor to a
minor and apprentice; also, for selling on
Sunday. 1t was proved that he had sold
liquor on Sunday to a minor apprentice,
and to several others; and two records of
conviction were produced, the one by a
justice of the peace for selling liquor to
said minor apprentice, the other by a
magistrate for selling on Sunday; both of
which offences were committed since the
renewal of his licence at the January
court. Under these facts, Judge Pearson
in an able and elaborate opinion, decided
that the Act of March II, 1894, invested
the courts with power to rcr0ke licences.
The power is discretionary one with the
Courts, to be exercised or not as the spe-
clal facts might indicate. Mr.. Gowan's
llcense was revoked. The decision is i'm
portant, as doubt has existed as to wheth,
er courts have the power to revoke licen-
ses for violations of the Sunday Act and
selling to minors.
