aulte ldISe HuIDDeT OF DelegateS from all
quarters Of the Old Keystone, assembled at
Harrisburg on, the 28th ultimo. A number of
excellent resolutions were adopted, and an able
and eloquent address to the people ofthe State
was prepared, submitted, and approved. AS
far aswe can CLEAN from the proceedings,
there is much commendable excitement In re-

and frank determination expressed to labor
on until popular opinion willibe regarded, and
and the legalized traffic in blood abolished.


Pennsylvania is great and noble State
Her citizens are worthy Of her fame, and we
cannot doubt, but that their voice, SO clearl
and so manifesly in favor Of abroga,ing the Il

now engaged in vending poison acting as ex-

PEELED to find some other avocation, in the
pursuit of which, honest men can bid them
Gop speed.
