DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

According to previous notice, the Anti-Le
compton Democrats of Pennsyl ylvania, met in
State Convention at Harrisburg on last Wed.
3esday the 18th April. The number in atten-
dance was very large. DR.. Geo. M'Cook, OF
Allegheny county, was chosen temporary
chairman, when steps were taken to appoint a
committee to report permanent officers, and
a recess then taken.
During the absence of the committee to Sc
lect permanent officers, Hon. John Hickman
addressed the multitude. After he concluded
the committee reported ALEX. McKINNEY, OF
Westmoreland as permanent President, 2S
Vice Presidents and 10 Secretaries.
The President, Mr.. Mckinney, on assuming
the Chair, remarked that he was proud to be
called upon to act as Chairman of a Conven-
tiOn composed of such rebels as they were,
but that he would assist in recognizing the
Democratic party and erect some such plat
form as was erected at Cincinnati, and after its
erection Mr.. Buchanan might, after due re-
pentance, return and re-join the true Demo
cratic party.
On motion, of Col. Forpey, committee of
% was appointed to report resolutions express
sive of the views and objects of the Conven-
tion. The committee were Col. John W.
Forney, Philadelphia; E. l.. Willard, Luz
zerne; Col. Samuel S. Young, Berks; John
c. Knox, PhiladeIphio Thos. P. Campbell,

The following is the Report of the Commit
tee on resolutions, which was adopted with
single dissenting voice
Resoired, That regarding this Convention as
to all lntents and purposes, a Convention rem
resenting the patriotic sentiment of the Dem
ocratic party, and avowing ourselves members
of that party, upon those well known princi
Piles which have constituted its creed since
the beginning of the Government, we are here
to-day to resist every attempt to weaken or to
over-throw that creed, and to unite for the
purpose of restoring, in ell their vigor and
purity, the great truths which have heretofore
made the Democracy conquering organiza-
ton, and contributed to the enduring welfare
or the States of the Union.
Rssotrcd, That this Convention most solemn

OF the states, to maintain which 1t pledges all

TIE CRoPs.-Reports of the wheat crop
continue favorable. There are some excep-
lions, of course, but generally the prospects
are quite encouraging. The Illinois papers
agree that there is a probability of more than
general average in that State. In Michigan
the prospects are equally favorable. These
remarks also apply to Ohio and Western New
York. From Texas the accounts are exceed
ingly fattering. Wheat is in fine condition.
Corn is looking we'll. 1t is five or six inches
high, and has received the first plowing. The
season in that State is three weeks earlier
than usual. The forests have assumed 4 green
hue, and the fruit trees are covered with young
fruit. In Louisiana whe1t is in good condi-
tion and promises well.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CoNvESTIoN.-We take
mp considerable space in our paper this week
with the proceedings of the Anti-Lecompton
State Convention, held last week at Harris
burg. We are told by persons who were pres
ent that the attendance was large and respecta-
BILE, and the proceedings were marked with
harmony and enthusiasm. If halt of what is
asserted by the members of the Convention,
and set forth in the resolutions, concerning the
Buchanan Administration, is true, it is one of
,he most corrupt and outrageous, that ever
has been in power in tte country, and must be
surrounded and controlled by a precious set
of political charlatans and scamps. Until re-
Gently, the men who composed this Conven-
ton were in full communion with the party,
knew all its aims and schemes, and some of
them were even the bosom companions of the
President himself and basked in the sunshine
of his favor. 1t is, therefore, but fair to pre-
sume that they ssknow whereof they affirm ;"
that their charges are true and correct.

that we continue to hold to the fullest appli-
cation OF the principle to the Territories, and
cannot but express our alarm and establishment
al its threatened entire destruction,a ,as disclos-
ed by leading Southern Senators in the recent
debate in the Senate of the United States.
Resolced, That we are utterly opposed to
the acquisition of Cuba, unless it can be OBJ
tanned by such fair and honorable means as
will be consistent with the dignity and fame
Of the Republic.
Resolred, That adhering to the theory of
frugal and economical administration OF the
General Government as taught by the fathers
of the Democratic party, yet. the necessary
expenditures of that Government Imperative
ly demand revision of the present revenue
laws and that in such revision we are in ia
vor of such distinct recognition of our man
utacturing agricultural and mechanical inter-
ests will rescue the Government from a
resort to direct taxation and permanently
protect the labor and industry of the country.
ReS0lred, That the administration of VIM.

terized, as it has been, by an honest and care

him, not only for his opposition to corrupt
legislation, but, also, because he was amongst
the first to endorse the great principle of pop
ular sovereignty, which lies at the very heart
of our free institutions, and because he has
been most fearless in maintaining it; and
that the attempt of the Federal administration
to defame the private and public character of
Governor Packer meets with our most un-
qualified and indignant condemnation.
Resolred, That this Convention entertain
the highest admiration for the Hon. Stephen
A. Douglas, the heroic statesman and Senator
of Illinois; that his great ability, his bold,
manly and decided character, his steadfast
adherence to the principles and pledges of the
party, particularly in reference to the govern
ment of the Territories all demand for him
the thanks and continued confidence of the
whole Democracy and of all true men.
Resolved, That we earnestly invoke the CO.
operation of Democrats of all the States of
the Union in the great organized movement
inaugurated at the State capitol of Pennsyl-
vania this day.
Resolred, That We recommend the appoint
ment by the President of this Convention of

50 members; and that the question of nomi-

Of another Democratic State Convention at

From the Cincinnati Commercial we learn
that suffering along the Mississippi in conse-
quence of the high water, is very great. For
miles together, not spot of dry land was WIS.,
ible, and people were literally living in canoes
and skiffs. Large quantities of stock had
died, and were dying daily. Cattle and horses
could be seen standing up to their bellies in
water, their only food being the leaves and
ers, from their canoes, would chop down for
them to browse on. A great;many thousand $
of acres would be utterly unfit for planting
this season.

KANSAS AXE THE GOLD REGIoN.-From Kan
sas We learn that the tide of emigration is al
ready setting strongly toward the gold region.
Thus far most of the emigrants are poor, and
have started with scarcely provisions enough
for their journey. For six weeks yet there
will not be grass enough to support heavily
loaded teams, and of course no freight or
provision trains can reach Pixies Peak until
long after these emigrants are there. The
news from the mines this spring, is, SO far,
meagre and conflicting. Some have return
ed and pronounced it a''humbug," and others
declare that gold can be dug, varying from
s3to $50 per day. Nearly all who come back,
Immediately go out again. Several families
of Cass county, Missouri, have been driven
out by mob because they took free State
papers.
