DEMOCRATIC STATE CoNyESTIoN.-The State
Convention of the Democracy of Pennsylva-
MIA assembled at Harrisburg on last Thursday
the 4th inst, and continued in session until
Friday night. There was good deal of blus-
tering and storming. The Buchananites had,
however, managed matters SO as to have de-
cisive majority of the members of the Con-
vention, by the hydropathic process of 'spack-
ing,'' and thus threw dGmper over the pros
poets of the Douglas or Anti-Lecomption fac
ton. A committee on resolutions was ap-
pointed on the first day and reported series
endorsing Buchanan. Lecompton & Co., inclu-
ding sour own Bigler,' as well as ''soft-sod-
dering'' Gov. Packer. at the same time, W.
A. Stokes, Esq, an able representative of the
Westmoreland Democracy, presented another
set of resolutions, which were strongly Anti
Lecompton, and which disapproved of the
course of the President in regard to Kansas.
1t was soon apparent, however, that the Anti
Lecomptonites stood no chance whatever, and
accordingly, on Friday, after voting down Mr..
Stokes resolutions, which were submitted as
an amendment to the report, the latter was
adopted by a vote of Ill to 1-those opposed
to the resolutions not voting at all, except one
who voted according to Instructions. The
Convention then proceeded to nominate can
dIdate for Supreme Judge, and on the first
ballot VIM. a. Porter, a son Of Ex-Goy. Por-
ter, was chosen. Mr.. Porter is the candidate
of the Anti-Lecomptonites, and his nomina-
tion was doubtless designed as amaster-strokc
of policy-a sort of :syou scratch my back,
and tickle your belly'' arrangement. The
Administration faction having succeeded in
forcing their resolutions through, they, very
magnan!mcusly, indeed, gave the Douglasites
the candidate, as an alternative, or, perhaps,
it might be more properly termed a dra,ctng-
plaster. In this way, each faction being able
to claim the victory, the Lecomptonites ex-
pect to ssgull'' the honest masses and hold the
party together. The Convention, ON the third
ballot, selected Mr.. Wesley Frost, of Fayette
county, as their candidate for Canal Commits
sioner. Judging by his name, we should think
lie would make rather chilly candidate.

THE CAMZLs.-In looking over our Califor-
MIA files, we find that Lieut.. Beale, with four
teen camels, arrived at Los Angeles on the
oth of January. The appearance of these un-
couth animals created great excitement among
the people. The animals under Lieut.. Beale
have all grown serviceable, and most of them
are well broken to the saddle and are very
gentle. The San Francisco BulIetin saws that
all the camels belong to the one hump species.
except one, which is a cross between the one
and two hump kinds. This fellow is much
larger and more powerful than either sire or
dam. He is grizzly looking hybrid, camel
mule OF colossal proportions, and weighs 200
pounds. Their drivers say they would get fat
where donkey would starve to death. The
camels are now on their return to the Colorado
River, for the purpose of carrying provisions
for Lieut.. Beale. and the military escort, who,
it is conjectured, will penetyate from thence
to as far as possible into the Mormon country.
Afterwards, Lieut.. Beale will return bv the
new wagon route that he has surveyed, to YER
ify it; and SO on to Washington. He is ex
pected to reach the capital before the LIST of
March, in order TO lay his report before Con-
gress.

THE GREAT Observation-Disclosures revvals
seem to be going on to an unprecedented ex-
tent all over the country. Scarcely paper
comes to US that does not contain accounts of
reviyals. They are limited to no particular
locality, but extend through our large cities
and towns well as over the rural districts
In New York city-that modern Sodom-the
churches of all denominations, except the Ca
tholic, are crowded daily with worshippers.
The Episcopalean, Presbyterian and Methodist
churches are gaining large accessions. 1t is
said that hundreds of business men, with their
wonted punctuality, drop into the sanctuaries
at particular hour each day to pray and re-
ceive religious instruction. These manifesto
tions of improvement in the moral sentiments
of the people cannot fail to be gratifying to
the christian and philanthropist. Whether
the change will be productive of permanent
good to all, is problem that time will solve.
Let this be as it may, there is no doubt of it
tending to repress more or less the sordid and
grasping selishness which has SO peculiarly
characterized the present age. What the i'm
mediate cause of this widespread revival is.
has been question with many. The ways of
Providence being inscrutable, no satisfactory
answer can be given. Still, doubtless, the re-
cent financial revulsion, which has swept away
immense fortunes and reduced large numbers
of the most affiuent men to the verge of beg
gary, has impressed all with the uncertain and
mutabie nature of riches, and their entire de-
pendence upon experimenting Omnipotence.
Indeed, 1t seems as if it were almost necessa-
ry that mankind should be visited with rever-
ses of fortune, famine, pestilencc or dreadful
calamity, to induce them 10 seek righteous
ness and there is little doIbt that the preva-
lence OF a contagious disease, the occurrence
of frightful shipwreck or railroad disaster.
the appearance of comet, or some other ex-
traordinary phenomenon of nature, has sent
many poor fellow to seek repentance.

The FREE TRADE SYsTEM.-The important
consequences to the people of this country, in
volved In the question of restriction, free
trade, in the management of the revenue, are
at present engaging more than ordinary atten-
ton. The Philadelphia North american has
been publishing, for some time past, a series
of carefully complied articles, tending TO show
the capacity of our home resources and manu-
features, TO supply the wants of the American
people; and also, proving that through the OPP
Grafton of a ruinous free trade policy alone,
this desirable end is prevented, and as a con-
sequence, the nation drained annually of its
wealth. These statements are not prompted
by any partiZan feeling, but by desire to ex-
hibit the real facts as they exist, and they may.
therefore, be relied upon as well authenticated
and correct. In recent article devoted to the
consideration of the production OF iron in the
U. States, it is shown that during four years
from 1855 to 1856 inclusive, the consumption
of rail road iron in this country amounted TO
1872 tons, 507 ,507 tons of which were of
home manufacture, and the remaining S7l, III
imported from abroad, thus making in the one
item of rail road iron, an overplus of 1868 564
tons IN favor of importations. For the year
1856, the consumption of railroad iron, receiv-
ed from abroad, exceeded by S,4i8 tons the
product of our domestic manufacture.
When we consider that our own State is far
beyond any other in the Union, in the produc-
tion of iron, and that thousands of her citizens
depend upon this branch of manufactures for
support it is obvious that the fatal conseuuen-
ces to home industry from the present free
trade tariff falls with particularly disastrous eff
feet upon the people of this Commonwealth
In the recent financial difficulties which have
surrounded us, this fact has been fully demon
strated by the stopping of business operations,
and the throwing out Of employment of poor
dependent mechanics and laborers So long
as the laws which regulate the revenue of the
country are so framed as to allow unrestricted
lngrcss for the products of European unremu-
nerated drudgery to compete with the products
ef free white industry, SO long will our manu-
factures of all kinds be subject to these revul-
slons in trade, and our natural resources be
almost worthless upon our hands. This is
question that affects us all, and, especially.
those who reap the means of subsistence from
any of the useful branches of industry

contend with us for the continent. To admit
them is a simple, easy, and natural policy.
1t is not new to or to cur times. 1t began
with the voluntary union of the first thirteen.
1t has continued to go on, overriding all re-
sistance, ever since. 1t will go on until the
ends of the continent are the borders of our
Union. Thus we become co-labo-ers with
our sfathcrs, and even with our posterity
throughout many ages.
After times, contemplating the whole vast
structure, completed and perfected, will for
get the dates, and the individualities, of the
builders in their successive generations. 1t
will be one great Republic, founded by one
body of bcnefactors. | wonder that the Pres
ident of the United States undertakes the
Kansas question, when il is part of a tran
saction so immense and sublime. Far from
sympathiZing with him in his desire to dcpre
ciate it, and to be rid OF it, felicitate myself
on my humble relation to it, for | know that
Heaven cannot grant nor man desire more
favorable occasion to acquire fame, than he
enjoys who is engaged in laying the founda-
tion of a great empire and | know also, that
while mankind have often defed their bene-
factors, no nation has ever yet bestowed hon.
ors on the memories OF the founders of sla-
very.
j have always believed, Mr.. President, that
this glorious federal constitution of ours is
adapted to the inevitable expansion of the
empire which have SO feebly presented. 1t
has been perverted often by misconstructlon,
and it has yet to be perverted many times, and
widely, hereafter; but it has inherent strength
and yigor that will cast off all the webs which
the everchanging interests of classes may
weave around it. If it fail now, it will,
however, not be our fault, but because an in
eyitable crisis, like that of youth or of man
hood, is to be encountered by constitution
proved in that case to be inanequate to the
trial. am sure that no patriot who views
the subject as / do, could wish to eyade or de-
lay the trial. By delay we could only extend
slavery. at the most, throughout the>Atlantc
region of the continent. The Pacific slope is
free, and it always must and will be free. The
mountain barriers that separate us from that
portion of our empire are quite enough 10 di-
vide MS too widely, possibly to ALLEVIATE US
too soon. Let us only become all slavehold-
ing States on this side of those barriers, while
only free States organized and perpetual
ted on the other side, and then indeed there
will come a division of the great American
family into two nations. equally ambitious for
complete control over the continent ,and con-
fict between them, over which the world will
mourn, as the greatest and last to be retrieved
of all the calamitics that have ever befallen
the human race.
