"REMINISCENCES OF THE CONVENTION.

The man who can, with equal temper,
bear the extremes of fortune, may in the
end, command his place. 1t is not easy to
face defeat, nor in the first moment to
check the bitter risings of disappointment.
lie who does not feel them is less or more
than man he who can control them is
greatly to be envied.
At the late Democratic Convention, after
the nomination of Gen. Foster, call was
made for the gentlemen who had been can
didates for the nomitation. Most prompt
ly responded, They made excellent, warm
hearted, magnanmou' speeches--acqui-
esced cheerfully in the action of the Con-
venton-eulogized the character, abilities
and qualifications of Gen, Foster, and
promised cordial and earnest support.
But no man, in our judgment, on that
occasion, acquitted himself with more cred
it, in all respects, than GEO. SANDERsoN
Of Lancaster. He made a most capital
speech, in excellent temper and great good
taste His frien.is have just cause to be
proud of him, and the good old county of
Lancaster, if true to him, will yet, at no
distant day, be able to chronicle his sue
cess.

as Democrat, he will be supported in
every State in the Union. He will not be
a sectional man, or the nominee of Sec
tional party, We shall not claim for him
that he is Democrat, but not an ultra
Democrat, or that he is as good Wing as
Mr.. Crittenden, or as. .goon an American
as Parson Brownlow, or as good Black
Republican as Mr.. Giddings. He may be
selected from those whose names now tower
highest as candidates, and he may not be
but at any rate, he will be a statesman.
He will not be such man as Zachary
Taylor, who never voted in his life until
he was himself candidate for office.
Now, keeping these fixed facts in view,
we think our opposition cotemporaries may
be able to guess what will become of the
present differences in the Democratic par
ty; and if they cannot guess who will be
our candidate, they can at least surmise
what sort of man he will be. Taking
the portrait we have drawn, we advise them
to pitch into it, without waiting for the
Charleston Convention to announce the
name fits owner. AS for the Democrati C
quarrel about the platform, which is alrea-
dy source of more anxiety to them than
to us, our advice is that they accustom
themselves to retiring at night under the
impression that it may wholly disappear
before morning; for we assure them that
the decision which is most fixed and eter.
nal in tile Democratic party is, that the
party will not quarrel with each other af-
ter the time has arrived for devoting all
its energy and power to tho common ene-

Ignorance and Malice.

There is a man in the Legislature from
Tioga county, named Williston, who makes
great pretentions to ability, legal knowl-
edge &c; and loses no opportunity to
abuse the Judges of the Supreme Court
for deciding to be law, what in his wisdom
is not law. To illustrate. A few days
ago Mr.. Williston was, as usual, making
speech. A bill was up to erect the
Point Bridge at Pittsburg in this
speech he asserts his contempt for the
opinion of the Court in the celebrated
Wheeling Bridge case. 1t is evident Mr..
Williston never read that case, and he
displays his ignorance and malice by the
following remark:
Now, it is something I never knew
before that the chimneys of steam boats
were so constructed as to admit of lowering
and rising at the hands of those having
charge of the boat
Now we are we'll satisfied that Mr.. Will
iston not only never read the Wheeling
bridge case, but that he never even saw
steam boat; for it is not possible he could
have been so ignorant, if either of those
accidents had happened to him, And to
gravcly and contemptuously denying the
legal conclusions of the Supreme Court of
the United States, would be suprcmely ri
diculous, were it not so sad.
Bat it is in this way and by such law
yerlings, that the decisions of that learned
and august body have been abused, de-
nounced, misinterpreted. 1t is by men
who have not even read much less digested
and comprehended the facts and reasons,
who takes theslead in this raid. To them
be the honor and the credit.

Funeral of Hon. Lewis G. Levin.

The funeral of Lewis c, Levin took
place from his late residence, 92S Clinton
street, yesterday afternoon, and proceeded

many of the friends of the deceased called

times in years bofore, warmed and anima-
ted the thousands in our community, The
deceased was enclosed in metallic coffin,
painted in imitation of rosewood. On the
top therof was a square silver plate, en-,
bosscd and containing the following in,
scription =" Lewis c. Levin, died March

The Legislative Record.

The State Legislature have much trou-
bic with the printer of their Legislative
Record, for which they contract to pay
seen dollars per page, but which is SO
managed as to cost a much greater sum,
The Committee appointed to investigate
the matter reported to the Senate on Mon
day, that the contractor, Mr.. George
Bergener, of the Harrisburg Telegraph,
Republican, had entirely disregarded his
contract, filling the " Record " with dead
and unauthorized matter, for which he had
been paid by the State four, six, eight, and
even nine times, at the rate of seven dol
lars per page. They say
From the beginning of the present ses-
sion to the l4th of March, inclusive, five
hundred and thirtysix pages were publish
ed, while up to the same date in the year
1859, only three hundred and ninetysix
pages were issued, making an excess in the
present year of one hundred and forty pa
ges. A large number of public and pri-
yate bills on the files of both Houses have
been published, without the authority of
either branch of the Legislature. The
exact number Of pages OF unauthorized
matter it is impossible ,or YOUR Committee
to determine; but had ali the matter pub
lished by the contractors been ordered by
the Legislature, there would still be an
excess of about fifty pages made by the n
publication of various bills and resolutions
in different portions of the Record. Over
sixty five bills have been duplicated, and in
some instances they have been published
three, four and GOe times. The act reia-
tive to proceedings on mortgages and re-
cognizances is inserted sic times the sup
plement to an act to enable joint tenants,
tenants in common, and adjoining owners
Of mineral lands to manage and develop
the same, SeUen times and the act to
authorize the lease of the IIempfeld rail
road, nine times.
Your Committee also find that the contrac
tors have published much matter that was
specially ordered in another form the pub
lie printer. Included in this are the re
port Of the Commissioners appointed to
revise the Penal Code, and the bills ac
companying said report, making more
than thirty-eight pages Washington S
Farewell Address, making three pages
and the report of the Superintendent Of
Common Schools, making five pages. The
contractors have also inserted, in many
instances, in the body of the proceedings
the bills pending before the Legislature
and, in some cases, they have detailed
them, section by sectien, as they were ap.
proved or rejected.
The Senate, by unanimous vote, adop.
ted resolution directing the accounting
officers to withhold pay for all matter pub.
lished in the Record not regularly author.

BLACK REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION TO

BLACK REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION TO
PRoTEcTIoN.-The New York EUeains
Post, edited by Bryant, is the leading
Black Republican organ of New York.
That paper takes strong and determined
free trade ground. The Post will not
permit protection to be one of the Repub-
lican planks. 1t declares that Abolitionism
is the only plank, We quote the following
sentiment :
/" The question of slavery is altogether
too great and momentous to be thus pros
tituted to the selfish schemes of specula-
ting capitalists and venal politicians, and
narrow minded bigots, Ii those who now
manage the affairs of the Republican par
ty contemplate any such manoeuvre, we
warm them in time that they had better
let it alone, They have not so great a
surplus of votes that they can afford to
drive off the friends of free trade from their
ranks. And if they do commit this blum
der we tell them that the year 1860 is the
last in which the present political party
will figure in Presidential election"

Sam on the Stump.

I On Saturday last the opposition held a
meeting In Philadelphia, at which Mr..
David Tsggart who was figuring for q
nomination among the Republicans here,
and got their support too and Curtin, and
Corwin of Mexican war memory, and 9th
ers, made speeches.
We desire to call attention to the speech
of Taggart as published in the Bulletin Of
Monday last, in order to show our citizens
what for a man the Republicans have supr
ported, and by Taggart's endorsement Of
Curtin, what style of man he is. We de-
sire those of our Irish fellow citizens who
are training with the republicans to cut it
out and paste it in their hats, and then
vote for Mr.. Curtin if they oan. 1t is the
head of the know Nothing organization on
the ticket, and Sam on the Stump. The
Bulletin says:
The first speaker Of the evening was
then introduced and well received.
Address of Hon D. Taggart, of Northumberland
Mr.. President and fellow Citizens If
had not been called among you as COM
petitor of the distinguished gentleman whose
nomination you have met to ratify, should
not have felt it incumbent on me to be
present here tonight. l have come from
Harrisburg at sacrifice of private busi
ness and obeyed your summons. 1t was
my good fortune three weeks ago, at Har-
risburg, to make ihe first Curt,n speech Of
the Campaign, and then and there l prom
ised to 60 wherever l might be wanted.-
And. when | tell you that travelled all
last night, and was fifteen hours on foot
yesterday, and have had no rest to-day, you
must not expect me to make a speech of
any length to might, but l will be content
like the iackal, to proceed the lordly lion.
l 60 ahead of the distinguished and elo
quent gentlemen who are present tonight,
to say few words to show you that am
for Andy Curtin all the time, loud cheers
most zealously, most earnestly. And why
should not be? He never entertained a
political sentiment that am not willing to
advocate. He never held doctrine that
l am not ready to uphold.
In ls40, when 1 was not legally man,
we went together to old Harrisburg. Four
years later we fought, side by side, for the
great American system, under the glorious
banner of Henry Clay. [Vociferous ap-
plause.1 As an American am proud of
the thrill that that name sends through me
