REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

We publish in another column, call for a
Republican State Convention, to be held in
the city of Pittsburg, on the 5th of September,
signed by number of persons, formerly iden-
tilted with the different parties lately existing
in this State. The object as set forth, is to
effect a union of the voters of this Common
wealth opposed to the aggressons of Slavery.
We hail this as a movement in the right di-
rection. There is in Pennsylvania large ma
jority of her voters opposed to the Kansas
Nebraska bill and the outrages which are the
legitimate consequence of the Repeal of the
Missouri Compromise. Some expedient should
be resorted to to give expression to the senti-
ments and feelings of her people. Weneed an
organization and platform upon which all the
friends of Freedom, regardless Of former party
names, can stand in common, and not by division
suffer the voice of Pennsylvania to be stihed
or her sentiments misrepresented. The Repub-
lican movement has already been naugurated
in many Of the Northern States, with cheering
prospects of success. The people are no long
er to be blindly subservient to the behests of
party leaders, but are casting off the trammels
of party and speaking as becomes intelligent
Freemen.
They are not satisfied with being the adjuncts
and tools of slavery, and indirectly aiding the
plans of STRINGFELLow and ATCHIsoN The
times imperatively demand such a movement
as is promised by this Republican Convention.
With strong and determined expression of
Northern sentiments, and candidate known
to be consistent and upright, Pennsylvania will
not be behind her sister states in rcbuking the
aggressive and intolerant spirit of slavery-pro-
pagandism, which now threatens to "crush
OUT every sentiment of freedom.

Your correspondent made an attempt to de-
ceive Your readers as to the notice or call OF
the convention. This he knows is unjust. The
call was inserted in the county newspapers, and
| believe a circular sent to the chairman of
every school district in the county and |
presume if there had been full board the ma
iority in favor of the increase would have been
very large. If the coterie who exerted them
selves so much before, and at the convention,
could not intimidate or control the members,
it is not likely that they would have succeeded
better with larger number. They resorted
to the press-they resorted to fraud, to defeat
a majority of school directors in the perform
ance of their duty 1t does not become such
men to talk about acts brought about "by
hook and by croOk"
Those men are now reiterating that the sala-
ry is paid out of the county school fund, while
they know that the Secretary of Common
Schools has under the seal of Office given his
decision to the contrary and those men know
that his decision is the law until reversed by a

DOWN WITH THE DoUGH-FACEs !

Yes, down with the dough-faces That is
exactly what we mean The South brags that
she has no traitors in her midst The North,
unfortunately, has prolific crop Of this class
They may be known by their hypocritical and
Jealous professions of regard for the Constitu
ton, as if any one would do violence to that
sacred instrument They see no cncroachments
upon the Constitution in the continued efforts
of the Shareholders to extend the accurSed in
stitution but, when the North would bring
the government back to the principles of our
forefathers, they cry out that the Constitution
is assailed Such men can be found in almost
every County in the North. They are persons
of enlarged and liberal views, very unselfsh
and patriotic as is manifested by their always
desiring to do their country some service in a
good fat Office and never refusing when called
to perform its arduous duties-and draw the
pay. They are always Boohoos, too and will
tell you a lugubrious tale of the dangers that
beset the Union unless the Shareholders are
allowed to have their own way. They are al
ways predicting speedy dissolution of the
Union, if the North shows the slightest degree
of independence. They are anatomcally known
as men without backbone-or afflicted with
some verterbral affection, which makes it i'm
possible to stand up erect-and they are con-
stantly engaged in bending and crnging and
fawning to the Power which controls our leg
islation and which dispenses Offices and patron
age They may be further known by declaim-
ing most eloquently against sectional parties,
and particularly denouncing any attempt to
consolidate popular opinion in the North
They are profoundly ignorant of the state of
parties at the South, they can see no sectional
movements in that direction, but when an eff
fort is made to show that there is a North
Boohoo how dcprecatingly indignant and
terribly frightened becomes your Northern
dough-face Sectional parties at once become
fraught with great danger to the Union
Boohoo the South will dissolve the Union if
the North interferes to prevent the consumma-
tion of her plans |
Such men are an incubus upon the North.
They cling to the wheels of her progress. If
they had lived in the time of our Revolution,
they would have boohooed about the awful
fuss made for a three cent tax on pound of
tea. They would have endeavored to check
the feeling of liberty and independence mani
tested in the colonies, and denounced the zeal
Gus and true men of that day, as onedea-men
fanatics They have no conception of princi-
ple-of acting without reference to some in
terested purpose. Their goal is offce-their
expected reward, patronage. There is but one
way of reaching such class-and that is by
making dough-facism Improbable When it
won't pay to be dough-face, the race will be-
come extinct. The North owes it as a solemn
auty to herself and to the best interests Of the

country-to the cause of political morality, to
put the seal Of condemnation upon every dough
face Whether in National, State or County
matters, if man presents himself for your
suffrages who is not true to the North, Down
with him Show him that you have no respect
for those who have no respect for you. Learn
him that the only way to secure the support OF
the North is to be true to the Constitution,
true to the precepts of our fathers, true to the
cause of Freedom. An independent, upright
Northern man should always be Supported

His appointment, which was entirely unso-

to him while travelling homeward Highly as
we know the compliment to be held, yet Mr..
Dawson has no wish to change his citizenship.
He intends to stick to the flag of our good old
