ar,r D,scoRp REIGN FOREVER. The
o,,bo,s of discord and disorder are having it
,ory nucb their own way in the Gulf States.
The Democratic State Convention of Alabama
met on the 18th inst, and positively instructed
their delegates to. the Charleston Convention
to withdraw therefrom, provided the Conven-
ton refused to adopt platform in substance
like the following; l. All issues and principles
on which the Democratic party has heretofore
affiliated and acted, are inferior in dignity and
Importance to the great question of slavery.
2. The people of the slaveholding states have
an unqualified right 10 protection of their
property (saves) in the states, in the terrific
ries, and in the wilderness where governments
are yet unorganized. 3. Congress has no
power to abolish slavery in the territories, or
prohibit its introduction into any of them. 4.
Territorial legislatures have no right to abolish
orprohlbt slavery, or impairits full security and
enjoyment by unfriendly legislation. 5. The
opinion of Judge Taney in the bred Scott case
san enunciation of the rights of the south, to be
maintained at all hazards. The executive
committee was IuTlner lnSIruCleu III case OI
the withdrawal of their delegates from the
Charleston Convention, to call a state conven-
tion at an early day to consider what was best
to be done. The vote on the resolution of in
struction to delegates stood 374 to II. Of the
platform above outlined the report states that
Hon. w. L. Yancey, the "Ajax of the Democ-
racy of Alabama" was the chief pillar and de-
fence. When Mr.. Pugh of Alabama uttered
the reasonable sentiment in Congress, "rather
than Mr.. Sherman should be elected Speaker,
let discord reign forever" he. had probably
received the assurances of his constituency that
the only tie which bound them to the Union
was the protection of an institution which the
rest of the civilized world long ago outlawed.
Into what depths of humiliation and shame are
they preparing to plunge when they find that
under any administration which the majority
establish, they will still be controlled by
government of laws, administered for the
whole country, and strong enough to preserve
order and peace, if need be, at the point of the
sword?

The JOHN Brown INoUIsITIoN.-The tel
egraphic correspondent of the New York Her
aid from Washington says
"The committee investigator g the Harper's
Ferry affair have determined not to explore
points involving the Kansas troubles hence
all testimony directed to an explanation of sup
plies and arms for support and defence during
that period is to be Immediately arrested, as
opening field of inquiry beyond the scope of
the committee. Calender cashier Of the
Hartford Bank, testified to-day before the
Senate Brown committee that Brown deposit
ed with him, and that he never paid money on
Browns check to any one but Brown, except
in one case to Col. Forbes, to whom he paid
$500 on Browns check. This is a contradic-
ton OF Forbes statement in his letter, in
which he stated he never received money from
Brown. Calender also testified that when the
Missourians invaded Kansas, he and other
Connecticut men advised Brown to 90 there,
and he gave him Sharpe's rife and told him
to use it, Calender was infor.ned the COM
mittee did not care about such testimony.
Charles Blair of Collinsville, Conn, testified
that he made Browns pixies Brown paid him
for them himself and lie knew no other par
ties concerned with Brown in the matter Mr..
Blair is Democrat /; made the contract as he
would with any other person, not knowing for
what purpose the weapons would be en-
ployed."
1t is stated in regard to Mr.. Sanborn or
Concord that United States officer visited
him at his residence, Tuesday, and rendered
to him his fees as witness, which he refused
to receive, and before other measures could be
taken he had disappeared. 1t is stated that he
has gone to Europe. Marshal johnson of the
Northern Ohio District was in Ashtabula
county on the same day to serve summonses
on Mr.. Giddings and John Brown, Jr. Mr..
Giddings is in New York, but has been tele.
graphed to, and will proceed Immediately to
Washington. Brown could not be found.
Both are summoned for the Both.

, for the custody and disposition of the school
fund; and that the Committee on the Consti-
tuition, Laws, and Revision of the Statutes,
consider the expediency of amending the con-
stitution so as to provide that sessions of the
Legislature shall be held once in two years
The report inexpedient to legislate on the
subject of repeating the law requiring every
town to appoint liquor agent, was taken up.
Mr.. PUTNAM of Danvers moved to substitute
bill repeating so much of the law of the State
as requires town and city officers to appoint
town agents to purchase and sell spirituous Ii
quors The proposition elected protracted
discussion upon the general merits of the law.
Mr.. RICE OF Worcester said that the liquor
law had been assailed, in every conceivable
shape, at the recent session of the Legislature,
but without avail. The system of town agen
cies is prohibitory system, and should not be
abolished. The yeas and nays were ordered,
and the substitute was finally rejected--7S to
1877.
At the meeting of both branches, yester-
dav, Thomas Rice of Shrewsbury was elected
in place of Hon. John E. Frye, resigned, receiv-
ing Ill votes, against LOG for William H.

Mr.. PARKER of Worcester, from the special
committee on the subject of the vacnncy in the
Senate from the Worcester East District, oc-
casioned by the resignation of Hon. John L.
Fry, and to ascertain the names of the consti.
tutiona candidates for his place-reported that
William Knowlton of Shrewsbury received at
the general election the next highest number
of votes (476) to the candidate elected, and
was one Of the constitutional candidates that
Horace Faulkner of Shrewsbury was returned
as receiving the next highest number of votes
10y, but was illegible on account OF his remov-
al out of the district, the constitution express
ly requiring that Senator at the time of his
election shall be a resident in the dis
trict for which he is chosen. From a
further examination of the returns, it ap.
pears that Thomas Rice of Shrewsbury, and
Jeduthan Dadmun of Grafton, received the
next highest number Of votes u each) In
this complicated state of the case the commit
tee felt justified in reporting as candidates to
be baloted for the names of William Knowlton
Of Shrewsbury, Thomas Rice of Shrewsbury

port was accepted, and the time tor the con
vention Of the two branches was fixed for Wed

The TEA PARTY--The ladies of Salem
Street Society had large company, last
night, at Washburn Hall, over six hundred
tickets were taken at the door, and the con-
sumption of refreshments was highly crafty
ing to those who took the cash. The momen-
tary glow which overspread some faces when
the ice cream was no more was partially dis
PEELED by the reflection that an unfailing sun
ply could be secured for the rush this evening.
There was music, in quantity, variety, and
quality, sufficient for first class concert. Be-
sides the chorusses, there were solos, by the
always popular Nellie Fiske, and instrumental
solos, DUCTS and quartettes by Messrs. Ar
buckle, Patz, Allen, and Others Rev. Mr..
Richardson and Homer b. Sprague, ESQ.,
made brief speeches.
To-day, at one o'clock, warm dinner will
be given at Washburn Hall, and it is expected
that volunteer toasts will be responded TO with
that eectrifying wit and mellow humor which
is always heraded by roast turkey But, we
understand the most curious DEVELOPMENT of
the occasion is to be an exhibition of the
"stripd pig" Of a most extraordinary charac.
ter. The affair promises to be highly enter.
taining and those who want to be counted in
must buy their tickets of Mr.. Newton, at the
hall, before nine o'clock this forenoon.
Tonight, the tea party will be brought to a
successful close, after repetition Of the "ex-
erciscs" OF last evening.

GOLDEN WEDDING IN SoUTHBoRo'. AS
Mr.. Charles Buck and his aged consort were
sitting in their arm chairs before a comforta-
bic, old.fashioned wood fire, in the sitting room
of their old homestead, in Southboro on Mon
day evening, the 23d inst. the doors were sud
denly opened and in walked seven sons and
daughters, and twenty five grand children,
who had come together to greet ''the old folks
at home" and to celebrate the fittieth anniver-
sary of their wedding-day The surprise, the
delight, and the anxiety of the aged couple
may be imagined, but their apprehensions
about being able to furnish refreshments for so
many were soon Quilted. They were not per.
mitted to leave their comfortable seats, while
the daughters and daughters -in-law, who had
each brought with them basket full of good
things, spread an ample repast. The three
generations sat down to the magic tables with
thankful hearts that they were all spared to
participate in this happy reunion. Mr.. Buck,
who is 73 years old, has never lost child, and
only two grandchildren.

MISS SHAw's READINGs.-Miss Shaw, who
is announced to give readings at Brinley Hall
next Monday night, is complimented as fol-
lows by the Providence Journal =
"The course of readings given by Miss EN-
lily Shaw in our city during the past fortnight,
though unannounced by any public advertise
ment, was attended on each evening by full
and select audiences, the hall of the Dramat-
ic Society" having been filled to its utmost ca
pacity. TO voice rich and flexible, and ca
pabe of great compass and expression, Miss
Shaw unites fine intellectual perception OF
her subject and great dramatic power, both
humorous and tragic. The unusual excellence
of these readings, and the increasing interest
manifested in them on every succeeding even
ing of her engagement, lead us to anticipate
very successful career for the accomplished
young lady who has just made her debut in
our city, should she decide to adopt either the
elocutonary or dramatic art as her profess
ion."
