Montgomery Comfy.

The democratic County Convention of
Montgomery County met on the oath inst,
to select delegates to the State Convention
at Harrisburg, which meets on the 10th of
March next. E. w. DAVID, ESQ, was elect
ed President.
Gen. JOHN H. HOBART, DR.. J. w BIcoRY,
JEssK B. DAVIS and SAMUEL HouPT, were
elected delegates, and instructed TO support
RicHAuDsoN L. WRIGHT for Auditor General.
The following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
ResolUed, That the Democracy Of Mont
gomery county, in convention assembled,
reiterate their firm adherence 10 the plat
| form as laid down in the National Conven-
| tions of Baltimore and Cincinnati, believ-
ing that these principles are best calculated
to promote the interests of the people at
large, and the harmony Of the country.
Resoivsd, That we feel confidence in the
wisdom, integrity and craftsmanship of
James Buchanan, the first President elect
from Pennsylvania, and that we believe the
measures recommended by him so far have
been dictated by the sole and earnest and
general prosperity of the whole country.
ResoiUed, That we heartily approve ofhis
recommendation in regard to the acquisi-
ton of Cuba. The possession of that Island
is desirable for the proper defence of our
country, as we'll as the commercial advan-
tages which result from its acquisition.
ResOiued, That we hail with JOY the admis.
sion of Oregon into the sisterhood of States,
as Strengthening the bonds Of the great con-
federacy and that the vote upon her admis-
sion is another evidence of the inconsistent
cy OF the Republican party-prolessing to
favor the admission of free STATES and yet
voting a lmost bodily against it.
Resolved, That in William F. Packer we
have Governor whose ability and talents
are calculated to adorn the Executive chair,
and that the measures of Stale policy as
recommended in his late annual message
meet our approval.
Reso.ved, That the course of Hon. VIM.
Bigler in the United State Senate, and Hon.
Owen Jones, our representative in Con gress,
in sustaining the interests of Pennsylvania,
and advocating a revision OF the Tariff of
1857, passed by the aid of Republican
votes, meets our warm appreciation, and
that they are entitled 10 the thanks OF the
people of the whole State.
Resolced, That the course of Messrs. Hill,
Stoneback and Dismant our Representatives
at Harrisburg, thus far meets our entire ap-
proval, and we have every confidence they
will use their united efforts to protect and
advance the interests OF their constituents.
Resoloed, That we are still opposed to the
repeal of the Tonnage Tax, believing 1t to
be detrimental TO the interests of the people
of the State and that the late reported re-
fusal of the Pennsylvania Railroad Compa
ny TO pay the same; is another evidence of
the grasping avarlce of that mammoth cor
poration.

Washington Aflifs,

WAsHINeTos, Feb. 25.-The Navy De-
partment, this morning, received despatch
from Lieutenant Braine, commanding the
U. S. ship Vircennes, dated Norfolk, in
which he states that he had captured the
SLAYER julia Dean on the coast of Africa,
and brought her into that port. Augustus
Fregeron, represented as a passenger on
board the Dean, died on the passage TO the
United States, previously requesting that
his effects should be sent TO his wife in Ha.
vana. 1t is supposed that he was the cap.
tain of the Dean, and that his effects com.
prise great deal of treasure. The Depart
ment, this morning, sent orders to Lieut..
Braine TO turn over the men on the Dean to
the United States Marshal for trial. II is
supposed that the Dean is owned in Charles.

STEAMER CoNET SuEK.-Lnss of Lije-The
steamer Comet was sunk in the Mississippi,
below Memphis, on last Saturday night,
during storm. Several of the passengers
and crew were drowned. We learn from
the Cincinnati Commercial that among the
lost are John S, Pope, first clerk Job Hill,
cabin passenger; John Clark, VIM. Cook,
Joseph Howard and Samuel Hardeman,
deck hands. A little girl and two cabin
passengers, names unknown, were also
drowned. The boat and cargo are total
loss. The Comet belonged to Cook & Co.,
of Memphis. She was insured for 81, 500.

Standing Committee.

II is known by the Democracy that such
Committee as STANDING COMMITTEE was
appointed at the Democratic County Con-
vention last Fall, for the purpose Of calling
County Conventions 10 elect or appoint Con-
ferees TO meet similar Conferees of the diff
ferent counties of our district in Conference,
10 appoint delegates TO the Democratic State
Convention, which will be held at Harris
burg on the 10th inst. According 10 the Rules
and Laws adopted in full democratic conn
ty Convention, held September 9th, 1851,
this Standing Committee is not doing its du-
ty. Why is this? Is Democracy getting TO
be secret organization? Why does not
the Chairman of this Committee call Coun-
ty Convention, and allow the Democracy OF
the County voice in this matter of appoint
ing Conferees, as should be done, and not
violate our Rules and Laws? BY carrying
out our Rules the will of the people will be
represented in Conference, and Delegates
cent 10 the Democratic State Convention
representing the wish Of their constituents.
There is no use in having Rules and Laws
when they are not regarded.
No Convention has been called in this
County, and the time for appointing Dele
gates 10 the State Convention has nearly ar
rived, and how are the people of this coun-
ty 10 be fairly represented in Conference and
in the State Convention at Harrisburg p
How can Conferees from this county claim
seats in Conference when they have not
been appointed or elected in County Con-
vention according to our Code of Laws and
Rules which are established for that pur-
pose? These Rules strictly set out that "aB
appointments of Conferees, and election of
Delegates, shall be made in County Con-
veniion." The Democracy of the county ask
why we have not had Convention ? they
do not suppose that the Standing Commit
tee, Chairman and all, are the whole county;
neither do they intend 10 be governed by its
action SO long as it has abandoned its duty.

WAsHIEcroN CRY, according TO tele-
graphic dispatch in the Psnnsytvanian, was
thrown into intense excitement on the
9th ultimo, caused by the killing of Philip
Barton Key, U. 8. District Attorney for the
District of Columbia, al the hands of Hon
Daniel E. Sickes, member of Congress from
the Third District of New York. According
TO report MIR. Sickes became convinced
of the truth of certain scandalous rumors, in
voving his wife, and resolved to redress his
wrongs, which he did. Mr.. Sckles met Mr..
Key near the Presidents House, and charg-
ed him with having dishonored him, and
destroyed his domestic peace, and immedi
ately shot him, one of the balls taking effect
on the left side of the body and the other took
effect in the rightthigh near the main artery.
Key in falling implored Sickles not to kill
him. The third ball was shot in the right
side, glancing from the body and bruising
it. OF which wounds death soon ensued.--
The body was taken into the National Club
House, and a Coroner's Jury Immediately
summoned. Sickles gave himself into the
hands of an officer and was conveyed to jail
for further examination.
