Nominaticns-Th "Unterrihed" Frightened.
The Democracy of the Old Keystone
State were to have held Convention on
tie 18th inst at Harrisburg, for the pnl-
pose Of placing in nomination candidates
for Governor, Judge Of tile Supreme
Court, &c. According to the I legraphlc
dispatches, when the. rebels entered the
State, and, in 4 manner, threatened The
capital, they were 50 much distressed at The
promised visit Of their Southern friends,
that they lacked the courage to assemble.
The delegates, being on their way TO the
Convention, turned and fled from the scene
Of the reported invasion, upon the receipt
of this intelligence. Their dread If our Top
pressed brethren Of the South" being great
er than their hatred Of the Government
and institutions of the North, they did not
20 near the place for which they had start
ed. After it became evident that the reh-
els would rot be alle TO march as far into
the interior Of The State rs Harrisburg, a
few of the least scared of tie delegates
came 10 10 the Capital, assembled and
nominated Geo. Woodward for Governor,
and Water Lowney for Judge Of the Su
preme Court, and then made themselves
scarce in the vicinity Of Harrisburg.
They need NOT have been frightened in
the least for the leaders of the rebellion
know who are their friends, and would moi
interfere with them, in their desires TO as
>iSt them in their work. Lee, Lonastrcet
Stuart. Ewell. Hill, a~ well as other lead
crs might take their seats and take part IL
lhe proceedings of The Con, enien without
their feelings being hurt, in the least, by
tie speeches that were made, or the reso-
ullns that would have been passed
They would have been the proper exlo
ncnts of Copperheadism-Co pperheads in
The strctest sense. Their pockets would
have been fiIet with the fruits Of the muir
der Of the loyal sons Of PENNSYLVANIA. and
hearts oveAowing with hatred Of the
North and lis institutions.

Ohio has now both tickets in the field,
the one headed 10y that lifelong Democrat,
John Brough, in favor Of supporting the
Government in carrying on the war untn
The eleion is ''wiped out" and the re!'eIs
cue for quarters; the other headed Ivy the
infamous ValIandigbalp, who is in favor o.
letting them alone, Withdrawing our a,mies
north OF the Ohio river. and giving up all
the Slave territory that we have is our
possession, So that his war will cease. The
next step in the programme for the north is
Of easy solution when this is once dome
We shall see that VaIIandigham and is
friends viii retire from the political arela,
with The scorn and contempt Of every la.
al man.
