REPUBLICAN, COUNTY MEETING.

The Chairman of the Republican County
Committee has called County Meeting, on
Monday evening, May ID, for the purpose of
clecting delegates to the State Convention to
be held at Harrisburg on the Sth of June
This course was adopted as the best one, be-
cause there was not time for the premnaries
necessary for holding Convention-frOm the
fact that such Conventions are never fully at
tended-and that at this time there are no
n'erests or questions which excite discussion
amongst the members of the Republican party,
and no possible chance for clashing or dissats-
faction
Hon G. A. GROW will be present to address
the meeting, and it is expected that other able
speakers will be in attendance.

HORRIBLE MURDER OLA CHILD BY ITS FATHER
"A man named WILLIAM Joy has been con-
victed in Wabash County, Ind, of the murder
Of his child by burning it. The principal wit
ness was another child of the prisoner, little
daughter. The facts developed at the trial
were as follows: John, a child about four
months old, was quite unwel, and had been 50
for some days, and was consequently frettuI
and had cried considerably during the night
and disturbed her father Early in the morn.
ing her father called to bis daughter, (the wit.
ness, and told her to get up aud make fire.
She did so ; made the fire principally Cfbrusb,
because there was no other wood prepared
After the fire began to burn, the childcO
ing to cry and fret, her father became enraged
and Snatched the child from its mothers arms,
tore every particle of clothing off it, aud then
took it by one arm and leg, and held it over
the fire until it was burned in several places
to blister. He then struck the little sufferer
two blows with his hand, leaving upon its body
the marks of his fingers, and then threwitintO
the cradle or bed. His wife and daughter
struggled to get the child away from him but
were unable to do so, and when Mrs JOY found
that be was going to burn the child to death
she ran out of the house to prevent seeing the
sight, and to get out of hearing of the chlIdS
screams. JOY took down his gun, and po1t
ing it at her, compelled her to cOmein in. Hethen
left the house, and did not return for day ol
two. -Four days after this terrible scene, tue
little child died and was buried None bE'
Joy and his wife and two young daughters
knew anything about the cause of its death
The neighboring women who came in aud as
sisted to lay out the child, found it so north
ed and decayed that they could not wash IT, o.
even take off the clothing JOY told bis vile
and daughters that if they ever said Ton
about it he would kill them, and they beie'el
him, and so kept the horrible secret.

DEMoCATIC STATE CONVENTION" :"

The FoRNEY branch of the Democracy, or as
they style themselves, the States Rights Dem
ocracy, met in Convention at Harrisburg, on
the l4th in pursuance Of call which received
the signature of many Democrats, dissatisfied
with the proceedings of the "Office Holders
Convention" The attendance was large, and
the proceedings marked with enthusiasm and
determination. ALEXANDER MCKINNEY, of
Westmoreland, presided, assisted by large
number of Vice-Presidents and Secretaries
A Committee was appointed to prepare an
Address aud Resolutions, of which Col. For
SEY was Chairman, and their report was unan-
imouSly adopted They repudiate the late
Convention, its action and its nomireeS en-
dorse the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty de-
nounce the prescription and tyranny of the
Federal Administration, and uphold the State
Administration
The great feature of the occasion was a
speech by JOHN HICKMAN. 1t is a bold and
scathng review of the profigacy and treache-
ry of BUCHANAN, and shows correct estimate
of the present struggle between Free and Slave
Labor When SEWARD made his Rochester
speech, it met with the condemnation of con-
seryatives in which joined some our of weak
kneed Republicans. But it contains no strong
er declaration than the following sentence
which we quote from HICKMANs remarks as
they appear in print revised by the author =
Let this truth be made promnent-that there is IN
eternal antagonism between freedom and slavery. The
constitution of the human mind and the human heart
makes it inevitable and one other must eventually
gain the ascendency The struggle between them but
just begun is going in midst and he is but
superficial observer who does not discover it.n
A Committee of Sc members was appointed
and the question of nominating Democratic
State Ticket aud the call of another Conyen-
tiOn at an early day, referred to it. Speeches
were made by Messrs. LEHMAN, FoRNEY, KNOX,
and others.

the 9th inst, by vote 72 to s. A correspon-
dent of the Philadelphia Neaos says that this
vote cannot be taken as an indication of the
real strength of the bill, for which some thirty
five members were prepared to vote; while some
of the eight members who voted to proceed to
the second reading, did so to bring the bill up
for discussion, in order to make disclosure of
the influences brought to bear to secure its
passage.
