Democratic State Convention.

N.
W. Miller, of Washington, Chairman of the
State Committee, whose remarks were brief
and to the point.
Immediately after the reading of the list
of Secretaries, &c, for the organization OF
the Convention, Lewis G. Cassidy, Esq, of
Philadelphia arose and said that he brought
; glad tdings to the Convention, and through
it to the Democracy of Pennsylvania. He
represented the regular Democracy of that
city, but for the sake of peace and harmony
they were ready to make concessions, and
he would therefore move that the contested
seats OF Philadelphia. and the rest of the
State, be referred to a committee of six gen
tlemeu and that the report of that commit
tee be final lie named as the committee
! Messrs. Andrew II. DiH William s. Stenger,
r. NJ. Gibson, r. Milton Speer, George a.
jerks aud William Mutchler.
The proposition of Mr.. Cassidy was receiv-
ed with the widest enthusiasm, the whole
. convention and the spectators rising to their
feet and joining in the applause.
Mr. Cassidy was followed by Hon. r.
Milton SpecT, Hon. Richard VauX, Hon.
Samuel J. Randall Hon. VIM. A Wallace,
Hon Malcolm Hay, Hon. K. NJ. Gibson, Hon.
Andrew II. Dill and Hon. VIM ). Stenger.
Each one of these gentlemen was called out,
and the Convention would istcntono denial
I Their remarks were Of a cOngTatulatOTy ma
ture, and all said that tins would be the har-
hingeT Of better and victorious days for the
Democracy of Pennsylvania. 1t was a real
old-fashoned love feast-a reconciliation of
the iarring, conflicting elements of the party
and was a scene that will never be forgot
ten by the participants and spectators. The
remarks Of MessrS. Randall, Wallace and
VauX were especially received with an en-
thusiasm which showed how deeply the
Democratic heart was stirred.
The motion was put by the Chairman, and
the Convention rose to its feet and gave a
shout of approval which fairly made the
Welkin ring.
The list Of uncontested seats was then
called over, and the Convention took recess
until , p. II.
The Convention reconvened at > o'clock
4 and upon learning that The Committee on
/ Contested Seats would not be ready to re-
port until O'Clock the next morning, an ad-
jUurnmeut was had until that time.
On Thursday morning, when the Conven-
tiOn again met, Robert Z. Monaghan, of
. Chester county, was elected permanent
President and on being escorted to tie
chair addressed the Convention as follows
