The Democratic State Convention
which met in Harrisburg on the llth
inst, adopted twelve resolutions relating
to almost every conceivable question but
the Free Railroad Law. On that ques-
ton not a word ,Uas uttered. A measure
so nearly related to the permanent wel-
fare OF the whole State, and in which the
people are interested more than any
other, is not even recognized by party
asking for popular support. The inevit-
able inference is that the Democratic
party is opposed to Free Railroad
Law-PiuS. Com.

MEETING AT THE COURT HOUSE.
On last Tuesday evening, a large and
intelligent audience assembled at the
Court House TO hear the gentlemen
speak on that evening. The room was
filed to overflowing CD as it Is rarly our
town is favored with performances of
this kind. The meeting being organlz-
ed, and order secured, the first perfor-
nance was announced by the chairman
SELECT ORATloN, by A. A. Purman, Esq.
Mr., Purman arose, and in his usual able
manner, delivered a selection from the
speech ofIIon. G. L. vallandingham,
made in Richmond IN '63, and published
in the Enquirer of that city, with high
commendatlons. 1t showed conclusive
ly the unrighteousness of the war on the
part of the North, and the righteousness
of the South, and proved beyond doubt
that the Radicals were the cause of the
war, and the misery attending 1t. Mr.
Purman was listened to with prof und
attention, and at the close was greeted
with warm applause, 0hough some
charged that he made some addition of
his own TO the speech we hardly think
he did) At this point your correspon-
dent was called away, and reluctantly he
LETT the room. lie has since learned
that other speeches were made, that
did credit to the performers, and honor
to the party they represent.
