TE.e County Committee.

We respectfully direct the attention of cur
readers to the proceedings of the Democratic
County Committee in another column The
delegates appointed to the Harrisburg Con-
rention, are men who command the conh-
deuce of the Democracy of this County. and
who will In the Convention, labor zealously
for such action as will tend TO restore harmo-
nv to the country, and save and strengthen
the Union. The course of the State Execu-
tive Committee. 10 calling the Convention, is
worthy of the highest commendation. The
time has arrived when the Democracy OF The
keystone State, should announce their deter
1nination to stand by the Union in any event,
and their condemnation of the course Of Nor
thern Abolitionists and Southern Secession
lists. Pennsylvania is emphatically the Key
stone of the Federal Arch, and in the elo
quent words of Rufus Choate, I'VE trust in
God she may remain in her place of power
and of beauty forever" At all events 1t is
the duty of her sons TO endeavor to keep her
there If disunion must come. let them be
the last to sever the cord that binds the
Union together and cast away the precaious
heritage bequeathed to Us by our revolutiona-
~ sires. We trust the convention will strong
ly recommend the holding of a Convention to
amend the Constitution, The calling of such
Convention, in the manner directed in the
Constitution, would be the first step in the
right direction since the commen cement Of
the Secession troubles, and would tend a
once TO restore confidence to the country.
In order to correct a misapprehension whict
exists in the minds of some of our friends
We think it right to state, that no proposition
for compromise. vas made to the Commit
tee, BY the Committee Of which John II
Douglas is Chairman.

Ew Although many of the Southern States
are opposed to secession. they are all uHani-
nously opposed to coercion. While they
think the seeding States have acted rashly.
they believe that the grievances of which
thsy complain are real and not imaginary,
and they will not calmly stand by and see
them compelled at the point of The bayouet
to remain in the Union. T ne fret blow
struck in the effort to coerce the seeding
States, would be the signal for the secession
Of The border States. Bound together by a
tie of common interest and fraternal love,
they would at once become Southern Con-
fcdcracy. to which in the darkest hour of at
temptea coercion it might truly be said,
Thy chains as they rankle, thy blood as i.
runs,
But make the more painfully dear to thy
sons.
Whose hearts like the Young of the desert
birds nest,
Drink love in each life drop thot flows from
thy breast"
So self evident is this, that even Senator
Seward, the father of Black Republicanism,
acknowledges that the Union cannot be saved
by coercion, and Senator Cameron openly de-
clares himself in favor Of the Bigler Compro-
mise. Indeed the Republicans of the Hale
aud Lloyd Garrison School, are now the only
advocates of coercion. The demagogue
Williams. who for years has been endeavor
ing to incite the people of Allegheny county
TO resist the execution of important deerees o
The Supreme Court, is the eloquent advocate
OF coercion in the State Legislature. A pret
ty individual truly. to denounce rebellion
and advocate law and order He evidently
does no see himself as others see him.

ES The following is the call issued by the
Democratic State Executive Committee. for
Democratic State Convention to be held in
Harrisburg on the 21st inst. The business
which will demand the attention of the Con-
vention, is fully set forth in the call
Democratic State Convention.
The Democratic State Executive Commit
tee of Pennsylvania, at a meeting he'd in the
city OF Harrisburg, on the Both ultimo, unGR
imously resolved to elicit the views of the
..Old keystone" in reference to the present
terrible crisis of cur National affairs.
The failure of the Republican party to meet
in a proper spirit of concession and compro-
mise, the overtures made for the adjustment
of our National difficulties, renders it necessa-
ry that the united Democracy of this Common
wealth. should take prompt. decided and en-
ergetic action on the premises,
We are in the midst Of a revolution brought
about by the teachings of an Anti Constitu-
tional party, party sectional in its princi-
pies. Six of our sister sovereign States have
already Withdrawn from the Federal Union,
and others threaten speedily to follow. The
! Democratic party. ever faithful to the Con-
stitution and the laws, seriously deprecates
this deplorable condition of our common aud
beloved country. The peril now impending
| is the natural result of departure from the
I true Constitutional doctrines steadfastly main
1 tanned by the Democratic organization for
/ the past sixty years. and can only be reno
ved by the re-establishment of those ancisnt
and time honored principles. 1t Is not ne
cessary to recall the glories of the past-It is
only necessary to be reminded of the dangers
of the present. Whatever the future may
have in store for the American people-wheth-
er peace shall continue within our borders,
or our land be rent with frateTnal strIfe-It
now becomes the solemn and imperative duty
of the Democratic party. the only true con-
servator of the Union, the Constitution, ard
1.-The equality of the States" TO give full
expression of opinion upon the dangers whict
threaten Constitutional liberty, and menace
the rights of all the States of this cOnfederacy
Therefore, in accordance with the unanimou:
recommendation of the Democratic State Ex
ecutive Committee. the Democracy of Penn
sylyania are earnestly invited TO send three
delegates for each Senator, and three delegate
for each Representative, to be chosen IN sucl
manner and at such time may be dcemel
proper, to meet in general State Convention
at Harrisburg, at three o'clock p. m, OF
Thursday, the 2Ist day Of february 4. ID.

THE CLOSING YEARS OF LIFE are

THE CLOSING YEARS OF LIFE are
often rendered wretched ailments which are
triaing in themselves and easily cured if ta-
ken in time. Affection of the liver, stomach
and other organs concerned digestion, are
the most frequent. They naturally make the
sufferer nervous, irratable and complaining,
and relatives and friends are for to bear ,he
brunt of their ill-humor. The use of Hostel
ter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters will prove
an efficient remedy for this evil 1t will not
only strengthen the physical organization,
but entirely cure the complaint. The first
physicians in the country are loud in their
praise of this preparation. Another recon-
mendation of the Bitters is that it is SO palit-
able to the taste that it may be used even as
a beverage.
