RECONNOIssANCE BY THE ENEMY.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, whose ed
itor is kind of aid de camp of the u
nion League, having reconnOitred the
Democratic Convention at Harrisburg,
thus reports:
"The Democracy of Pennsylvania met
in Convention in the Hall Ofthe House
of Representatives this morning, to
nominate candidate for the Supreme
Bench and arrange matters. The Con-
vention is full the outside attendance
is large, and the usual well-drilled but
tumultuous enthusiasm of the rank
and file lends force and Uin1 to the pro-
ceedings. Altogether, the Convention
is an able and re5pec table one."
Such commendation from such a
source at such time, ought to have
some weight with the "loyal people of
the country"
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1867-06-21

Finally, however, the list was mar
roWed down to Boyle and Black. The
former was the acknowledged repre-
sentative of the "Young Democracy"
and he was accordingly arrayed against
Mr.. Black, one of the old apostles of
the party, whose management was be-
coming obnoxious to the young blood.
The result was a complete victory for
Young America, an terrible defeat
for the old dynasty. Charles E. Boyle
received "a votes; Hon. jeremiah 5.
Black received A votes. This result
was greeted with loud and continuous
cheers.-PhaadeLphia Inquirer.
The above is said in regard to the e.
lection ofthe President of the late Dem
ocratic State Convention. 1t is not
true that there was any contest between
what the Inquirer styles the "Young
Democracy" and the "Old dynasty"
nor was Judge Black a candidate for
any position in the gift of the COnven-
ton. He peremptorily refused to per-
NIT his name to be used in connection
with the presidency of the Convention,
and made a speech recommending his
friends to vote for Mr.. Boyle. The
votes cast for him were given him in
spite of his determination not to per-
NIT the use of his name.

WE lack the room to make any
lengthy comment upon the proceedings
of the Democratic County Convention
which assembled in this place, on Tues

shall speak more fully on this subject

5he Union to representation in Con-

the Union to representation in Con-
gress.
Their treatment of ten States as sub
lugatea provinces and governing them
by military force in time of peace.
Their enactment of laws denying
indemnity for arrests and false impris-
onments made without authority OF
law.
Their resistance of the authority of
the civil tribunals, and their overthrow
by the substitution of military COM
missions for the trial of underlined Of
fenseS.
Their efforts to destroy the executive
and judicial departments of the Govern
ment by threatened impeachment to
control executive action and a projected
''remodelling" of the Supreme Court

Their election from their seats in the
Federal Senate and House, of members

That the purpose eofcOnfscation avow-
ed by the Republican leaders, in viola
ton of the Declaration of Rights and
other guarantees of the Federal and
State Constitutions, tending as it does,
to destroy all protection to private p. O.
perty, advances them far on the high
road to reputation.
s. That a strict conformity, both by
the Federal and State Government, to
all the powers, restrictions and guaran-
tees, as contained in the Constitution
of the United States, right and wise
economy in the administration of pub
lie affairs, and the election of capable,
honest and patriotic men to office, are
measures absolutely necessarytO restore

8. That the late Republican LegiSla-
ture of this State has distinguished it
self for the number of its unwise and
unconstitutional enactmentS.
Some of these laws have already been
iudicially determined to be uncOnstitu-
tiOnal, others are unWise, inexpedient,
oppressive and fanatical, and the men,
bers who sustained them should be con-
demned by the people at the polls.
10. That the power and success of
the Democratic party greatly depends
on the character and efficiency of its
newspaper press, and that to give due
force to it's usefulness, this Convention
earnestly requests that in every county
all the members of the Democratic par
ty should make vigorous effort to in
crease its circulation by giving it indi-
vidual patronage and support.
IL. That the Democracy of Pennsyl-
vania, by their representatives now as
sembled, hereby tender their acknowl-
edgments and thanks to the Hon. Geo.
w Woodward in his retirement from
the position of Chief Justice ofthiS Com
monwealth, for the pure faithful and
able manner in which he discharged
the duties of that exalted position.
II. That the candidate we this day
present to the people of Pennsylvania
for place on the Supreme Bench of the
State, is in all respects worthy of the
confidence and support of all who are
in favor of an enlightened, faithful and
impartial administration of the laws.

FrightfuI and Melancholy Accident at
the New York Academy of Music.

The performance Of the Japanese A
crObats at the Academy of Music, New
York, on Wednesday evening was alb
ruptly terminated by most distress
ing accident. The wonderful little boy
performer, Gail Right" who has af-
forded so much pleasure, and won such
a lively interest in every city wherein
he has performed, was the victim
of this sad mishap. One of this fellows
feats was fight across the Academy,
from the top of the proscenium to the
middle of the first tier of boxes. This
was performed upon stout rope
When in the midst of the flight, last
evening, the poor boy lost his hold, and
fell to the floor, a distance of 80 or 40
feet, landing in the middle isle of the
parquette. OF course the performance
was Immediately terminated in the
midst of the greatest excitement. "All
Right" was promptly taken up and
conveyed home and DR.. Carnochan and
other surgeons were Immediately sum-
moned to his aid. He bled profusely
from the nose and mouth, and was in
sensible.
To the above from the Tribune, the
World adds the following:
At one O'Clock Thursday morning All
Right had slightly r, covered from the
terrible shock to his system, and after
answering at intervals the questions of
the anxious friends who surrounded
him, had fallen asleep on his couch.
For some time before sleeping he was
quite rational and answered all ques-
tions put to him in an intelligent man,
,It 70 nxvi6nnfIU did not hQI
realize his dangerous condition. The
physicians stated that his injuries were
principally internal. He also suffer
ed a terrible conclusion on the right
side of the heal, but wonderful though
it may seem, not a bone was frac-
tured. The unfortunate young per-
former is a small lad only 10 years
of age, clever genius in his profess
sional art, and thousands of pub
lie admirers from whom he received
that odd nickname, will long to hear
that the favorite young performer is
still "All Right"
