Democratic State Convention

ls3sust It'll, 1860, at 10 o'cio5Nl on :, Iuesu'0n,
for the purpose OF perlecting ela. iza-
ton and nominating Safe officers ana lwO
Presidential Electors at large.
The reasons which dictate this course are rem
dered obvious by the present condition of the
Democratic party. The committee who have
called " Democratic Convention " to be held
on the Goth inst, were elected before the untor-
nate division at Baltimore. They have called a
meeting of the Democracy. without designating
whether the friends of Douglas and johnson,
or the National Democracy supporting Brock
inridge and Lane, are to be represented. 1t
would only result in useless strife and bitter
ness of feeling to go into such an assemblage.
There is therefore, no consistent course left for
us to pursue but to invite the National De-
mocracy OF each town in the State to send their
delegates, that we may be able to effect an Or
ganizatlon which shall emanate directly from
the people, and give to each locality fair rep
resentation in our State Convention.
The above is the call for Breckenridge
democratic Convention made mention of in the
Freeman last week. 1t comes to US with nearly
1000 names attached, representing nearly every
county in State. The following is the list for
Washington County;
- Colby, Charles R. Briggs,
40 Redfeld, Martin s. Adams,
keorge NJ. Fisk, Samuel Wells,

THE NEVADA NATIONAL
PASSING AWAY.

On the 4th of July. 1856, an act wa, pas
sed BY Congress. allowing pension to the
surviving widows ofthe deceased soldiers Of
the Revolution About 5000 widows fled
their claims. This number Ia the spacs O,
the 2s years that has since passed, has dwin.
died down TO 35. which numb er, only. made
application In March last.
These person are isdistributed over twelve
States. Fourteen Of them are 100 years
ofage and upwards--fwo Of them are IO5

Each Of the fourteen. last mentioned, were
running about their homes, in the early
budding ofehildhood, ere George the Second
of England, left his earthly rown, for, il
is hoped, heavenly one. Each were wo-

light OF day. Each had seen upwards Of
bali century when Gen. Jackson whipped
the British at New Orleans. and were old

have survived their marriage II years, and
one, who was married at l6. has survived
that ceremony 81 years another who was
married at l3 has survived that event so
years.
1t ia remarkable fact that 30 Of the 36
were married under the age OF is years and
that the average Of their marriages was
about l6t years. This speaks volumes 10
favor OF the early marriages Of women but
the men should remember that their bus
bands are all in their graves. The inference
therefore Is. that early marriages are life to
women, bat death to husb,nds.
Women after passing tn. age of SO seem
" wear much better than men. To say
nothing of the statistics of our country, we
read that the unruly spouse ofCicero'
lived 10 the great age of lO3; Junia Tertia
a sister of Brutus lived 100 years. In Epg.

Piles of women vi no have lived to a great age;

ing a cherry tree. from which she accidently
fell, which mishap in few months resulted
in her death. In our own country We have
seen the widow of the lamented hamilton

nearly century resting upon her, while
Mrs. Morris, who under maiden name Of
Mary Phillipse. who was the first love Of
