mia. (appointed by the Republican Convention
held at PittSbnrg, OH the 22d ult. and in COM
pIiance with the wishes of numerous friends
throughout the State, notice is hereby given,
that REPUBLICAN STATE CONEEN-
TION will be held in the City cf IHaadciPA1a
at / D o'clock, A. NJ, for the formation OF an
Electoral Ticket, and the nomination of State
Officers, to be supported at the ensuing Ircsl-
dental and State elections and generally Tor
the transaction of all such business as shall
come before said Convention.
The undersigned would recommend that said
Convention be composed of delegates, twice IN
number, to that of the members of the Senate
and House of Representatives and that the
friends of Freedom in the several counties of
the commonwealth meet at the County seat,
or other convenient place in their respective
counties, on Saturday the 3lSt day of May
next, unless some other day will better accom-
modatc, and elect delegates to represent them
in said State Convention ; and also, at the
same time and place, elect three delegates from
the several Congressional districts to represent
this State in the National Nominating Conven-
ton, to be held on the 18th day of June next,
in the city of Philadelphia.

perly discharge the duties Of his appointment,
if he failed earnestly to urge upon the Freemen
of this Commonwealth, without regard to for
mer party divisions to unite in the patriotic
effort now making to rescue the Government
of the Union from the domination of an Aris-
tocracy founded upon property in Slaves. The
shareholders, constituting less than one in fifty
of the free population of the country, control
all the functions of the General Government,
and pcrvert all its powers to one end

power They rule as with rod of iron
trampling under foot the teachings of our fa-
thers, and the benign principles upon which
the government was established. They con-
temg the rights Of human nature, thereby ex-
posing man to every outrage. There is no safe
~ for humanity but in the acknowledgement of
its rights Through all its organs, in the press
