Notary Prblic.-Jesse Brown, Esq, of this
City, is another instance of public officer whose
office is not vacated by the ordinance of the Con-
vention on that subject. He was appointed to
the Office of Notary Public over thirty years ago
and exercised its functions as business required,
mp the breaking out of the war. He never took
the oath Of allegiance to the Confederate States,
nor did any other act which, in the purview of
the ordinance, would disqualify him for exercis-
ing the functions of the Office now. He still has
in his possession his seal of Office and would, no
doubt, attend to any business properly coming be
fore him.

ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC
STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEES RooMs,l
HARRIsBURG, Pa, Mar. Il, 1866. !
To tile People Of Pennsylvania
a civic contest, laden with grave results
has just been entered upon.
The great political organizations of the
State have announced their platforms and
presented to you their candidates.
The Democracy distinctly avow their
purpose TO restore the Union and to main
tain the superiority Of the white man.
Their opponents refuse TO restore the
Union, treat with silent contempt the pol
icy of the President, and again attempt
TO deceive you in regard to negro suffrage.
The restoration Of the Union is an issue
embracing and overshadowing all others
If it be postponed, and agitation contin-
ued, you will deny that the war was ''a
war for the Union - you will shake your
form Of government to its very base, Jeop-
ardize the security of your National debt,
incur the hazard Of financial revulsion,
fetter the developemnt Of your industrial
resources, make desert of the tairest por-
ton OF the Republic and aid in eleyatlng
the negro at the expense OF the white
men.
The period Of reaction after great nation
al cXertiOn is often more fatal to free lnsti-
tutions than the severest throws OF civil
warfare, and radical disGnionists seize that
hour to consolidate your Government by
amending the Constitution and TO perpet-
uate their power through the political
equality of the negro.
Prolonged agitation or prompt restora-
ton are the alternatives presented.
MEN OF THE KEYSTONE:
Look back upon your history, and in
the light Of that retrospect determine
whether you will be led to- your ruin by
a reckless disturber Of the peace of your
Commonwealth, or will follow the Pres
ident by the paths OF the Constitution TO
the haven of peace, order and security.
The Democracy present TO you, with
pride, their candidate for Governor: a
Pennsylvania by birth of revolutionary
family pure, honest, capable; possessed
Of large experience, and gifted with the
rarest qualities Of the head and of the
heart, no man need blush to follow where
HESTER CLYMER leads. the way.
Democrats of Pennsylvania:
All is well your candidate will be sus-
tanned trlfing personalities give way be-
fore the onward march Of great principles.
Be assured of success, and labor to de-
serve it.
by order of the Democratic State Com
mittee.

DAVIS AND CLAY TO BE PAEoLED.-A
telegraphic dispatch to the New York
Tribune dated April 9th, says:
1t is generally expected that the Presi-
dent will il 4 few days release Jeff Davis
and Clement c. Clay on parole. There
is no probability Of their ever being tried
for their participation in the conspiracy By
which the President was murdered. It's
not unlikely that Congress will again call
for the testimony that has so far been
kept secret and its existence known but to
few persons. Judge Holt has expressed
his opinion in writing that il was enough
to convict them, and no one is more sur
prised at their not being tried than Judge
Advocate Holt.

g. The Pittsburgh Ga-ette of Friday

S S. Christy, who is at present on a Wis
it to our town:
eve met yesterday, Ex-Mayor S. S:
Christy, of Oil City, who, having laid
aside the cares and responsibilities of Of
flee, was en- route for Ebensburg. About
one year ago, DR.. Christy was chosen
Mayor of Oil City. At that time lawIess-
ness reigncd supreme in that new and
fourishing city, but by the prompt, ener-
getic and determined policy of the Mayor,
peace and order were brought out of chaos
and rowdyism, and during the year he
held the office, he proved himself an able
officer. 1t may be added that the Doctor
retires to private life with the best wishes
of the prominent business men of the city,
and it is to be hoped that his successor,
MIR. Arbuhnot, will 50 administer affairs
that Oil City may retain the proud posi-
ton attained under its first Chief Magis-
trate.

Majority in favor of Veto, 6.
AS it requires two third vote to pass
any bill over a veto, it will be seen that
the disunionists want FIFTEEN 90 votes
Of that number (4S.) 1t is not possible
that Is of the % Southern Senators
would vote for the bill, nor half that
number. The people can judge whether
bill thus ''passed' over the Presidents
veto should have any binding force.
Not only has this bill been declared
passed by an unconstitutional! minority,
but it is itself unconstitutional and sub
versIye Of that instrument. We hope the
people will again refer to the Veto Mes
sage, ponder well its cogent reasoning upon
this point, and be prepared to sustain the
President in any measures he may take
for upholding the Government and preser-
wing the Constitution against all disunion
assaults. The great mass of the people
are utterly opposed to the bill. Let them
IN mass meetings and conventions at once de-
clare that it StnH nere7' 90 into operation
The People are sovereign; let them repeal
this specimen of Rump legislation so eff
fectually that no similar attempt will ever
be made to overthrow the Constitution,

ToRNADO-BARN BURNED.-We ex-
tract the following from the Johnstown
Dcmocrut Of the 11th instant:
Last week we noticed the fact that
tornado had passed by this place, doing
great damage TO the buildings, fences, and
timber within its path. Since then we
have learned that 1t was equally severe in
Westmoreland county. 1t passed over
New Derry and tore down several houses,
scattering fences In every direction. 1t
then crossed the Chestnut Ridge, making
clean wind fall about thirty rods wide.
Passing over Ligonier Valley it struck
the Laurel Hill, leaving a distinct path
through the timber This side the hill it
leycled twenty acres of timber On one
farm and about twelve on another It
uDrooted houses, and barns, and destroyed
cider presses, fences, and other material
exposed to its fury. Eastward it passed
through Richland township doing consid-
cradle damage TO the timber. We have
not heard Of any damage done eastward Of
that. Taking it all in all II was re-
markable storm.
The barn of Mr.. Jacob Nagle, of Ale
gheny township, this county, was en-
tirely consumed by fire on Tuesday, the
Sd inst. Five hundred bushels of oats, 4
large quantity of hay, two colts, two
calves, wagons, sleds, harness, &c, were
also consumed. Loss about $500. Mr..
Nagle had his barn burned about two
years ago. No insurance. 1t was the

ATTEMPTED SUIcIDE.-Buser, one of
the convicts in our county Jail awaiting
execution, attempted to commit suicide on
Tuesday night last. He opened an ar
terry in one of his arms with some sharp
instrument, and remained standing on his
feet until he tainted from loss of blcod,
and fell on the floor. The fall alarmed
the watchman who Immediately procured
the attendance of physicians who stopped
the flow of blood and frustrated the at
tempt of the criminal. Had the wretched
man taken the precaution TO lie down, it
is probable that he might have destroyed
his life, as the fall alone attracted the at
tention Of the watchman.
