Democracy i'm Pennsylvania.

We have already stated that the regular
Administration, Lecomptou Democracy of
Pennsylvania recently held a State Con-
vention at Harrisburg, the proceedings of
which gave great dissatisfaction to the
Anti-Lecompton Democrats of that State,
and they have therefore called, another
convention, to be held the 18th of April.
This has aroused the wrath of the Admin
'stration, and there will be no mercy shown
any man in Pennsylvania who holds office
under it if he hesitate moment in ioipipo

bellious Democratic sentiment. Z This is a
capital fact for the spies who are always
ready to take advantage of the weakness
of power, and to reap quietly wages oy

Last Sunday, just after morning services,
we heard great noise in the street, and
looking ont we saw black man trying to
get away from two white men. His face
was cut and bleeding profusely, They
tied his hands behind him, stripped. his back
bare, took him into their store which is
nearly opposite to our house, tied him to
the floor, and gave him fifty lashes in the
course of the next half hour-not all at
once. After eight or ten lashes he groaned
most piteously at every stroke'of the whip.
And all that we could learn that he had
committed was to prevent the black nurse
from taking a whistle which he had bought
for his boy, and giving it to his masters
boy. The slave and nurse were quarreling
about il when the master came home from
church. He came into the kitchen, took
a moulding board and broke it over the
slaves head, then struck him blow with
the rolling-pin. The slave rushed into the
street, and the noise began that attracted
