DEMOCBATIC COUNTY CON VliNTION. Thc Democratic Convention for An-1 dcrtso'i County will convene nt the Court House on Saturday, the 22nd of May inst., at eleven o'clock u. m. A full at tendance of the delegates elected is ear nestly desired.

Tho present County Exccutlvo Committee is requested to meet at the INTELLIGENCER ofl?co at ten o'clock on Saturday morn ing, tho 22nd inst., to attend to 6Uch bus iness as m nv be necessary. E. B. MURRAY, County Chairman. President Hayes will be known in his tory as the vetoing President His veto messages are about the utily things in his administration that ha?e distinguished him. They have attracted attention in consequence of his inconsistent position, .and because ho has never vetoed any other than good measures. Although the wheat crop hos tho rust BO badly in this part of tho country, it is aomo consolation to know that it is not general. The crop in Europe this year will bo n splendid ono, and tho crop all over the United State* is put down Os simply immense. Under this state of things tho cheapest food ever known is predicted for next September, nnd tho months following. Tho New York World says: "The I/epublicans are getting no moro harmo nious very fast. If .only one-half of what tho Sherman papers say of Blaine, and tho Blaine papers say of Grant, and the Grant papers say of Blaine and Sher man is at all true, all tboso distinguished Republicans should bo candidates for at least throo terras'apioco in tho penal in* 8titutions of tho country." A voto at the Hahnomann Hospital Fair in Now York was on last Thursday for the moat popular Presidential candi date, with tho following result: Bayard 103, Grant 131, Blaine 75, Edmunds 17, 8herman G, Jowett 7, Tilden 8, J. B. Phelps ll, Seymour 2, and E. B. Wash burno 3. A gold headed cane waa to be presented to the most popular candidate, and Mr, Bayard was tho winning man. ''Straws show which way the wind blows." Tho imprisonment of Dennis Kearnoy In Ssa Francisco for sedition has already had a wholesome effect in California. The asperities ' of the Sand Lot party hayo greatly' subsided, and their meet ings, which aro very much less* frequent than formerly, aro corapexatively orderly. By the ti md Kearney serves put his six months aontenco, ho will no doubt ba greatly mollified himself. At least, his d?ccrelloa ivi?i bo improved, and a whole some dread of the law and its jails will probably keep him out of any further '. sedition. ?- . -? Judge Msrccr, cf Pennsylvania, i??? Judge Jeremiah Black that he ought to bo a Republican, whereupon the latter replied, "If there waa no hereafter I would join tho Republican! party afc ?nco. Nothing dctora mo but tho fear of hell." This is an excellent picture of the Re publican party in thi3 country, Judge Black does not describo tho party, but simply gives by implication the resuit bf belonging to such a party, and leaves the - reider to infer its characteristic*. It I*, tho party of fraud, corruption sud pillage. A correspondent ia this issuo, of tho INTELL?OKNC&B suggests Hun: James L. Orr, ef Anderea* for th? nomination for Congress by the Democracy of tho Third District. The nomination isa good cn?, mid tho reasons suggested for it aro wor thy of favorable copHid?rat??n. Iii ad dition, wo 'may. add' that we think the County of Anderdon is entitled to a repre sentativo in Congress. This was one of. tho foremost counties in the redemption of the Sta Jo, and we have received no 7c-cognit?vi?. Iii\av way ai promotion of of our citizens. Wo do not mention this by way of uomplaiut, bat simply to Show Low reasonablo ia tho voqee&fc . for thc CangreMional nominee tu bo selected from eur mldsfci Mr, Orr is fully compe tent for the position indicated,, and if clocied will, niafco a record alike credita ble ti iij??sa?f and bia District. on correspondent of tho hlioati puts it thus : "For has signed'appropriation priatioh bill that cos iders without complaint, y day announces his slg rmy App'opriatioG bill, ,1 i tic al ?der that many Rider fin Invasion of kin )W^.over;tho ajrpy,. to zizzz 1% cont*'ns rt?lly seem rathef *b dcroly pdt. Tho'inde 'i?ha trwe condition of the colored m?n Itt. the Bouth as a political power it bo girim'ngtooeiealliedAtth^North. The Peabody Board, ti tri which there are a bonite* of prominent Republicans, in a recent report, say : "The colored popula* tion of the United States was ascertained by the census of 1870 to be, in round numbers, four and a ball millions. At the present date it probably exceeds five millions. If we assume tbat of these onc-sev.nlh are voter?, we have the fact that there aro more than seven hundred thousand colored men in the United fitstes who are clothed with tho right of euttVago, and yet, in the mass, are inca pable of discreetly exercising it." This is exactly the situation. Negro suffrage proved the tann ot the South when first fore/a? Upon us, b ,since wo have learned how to manage and control it, the evil bas been turned into a political advan tage. It has increased our national rep resentation and influence without giving us serious inconvenience now. In other Words, it ls thu stick with which Repub lican fanatics nought to chastise the South. We have taken tho stick from th?m, and will, before we stop, break tho head of Republicanism with it. The Republicans may regret their mistake in giving tho negro the right of eUflrage, but they cannot remedy lt. It would re quire an amendment of tho national con stitution, to which tho South will never consent, and which is, therefore, impos sible. We'will now give the Republi cans the opportunity of repenting at hisiire what they did in hoste. - '.lO^ja -_ The veto mcssago of President Hayes, which we publish elsewhere, is to us an indication that the plan of campaign in tended lo be pursued by tho Republicans in th J coming canvass is to bo an nggres eivo and tyrannical oue in such Southern I States as may bo selected to mako up tho {quota of electoral votes necessary to tho election of their candidato for the Presi dency. Tho only rider on the Appro priation Biil for United States Marshals was one providing that Deputy United States Marshals, to attend the election polk, should hereafter be appointed by tho United States Circuit Judgo, in equal numbers from each political party. This is tho Bubject matter ia the bill to which Mr. Hayes objects. It is a perfectly fair provision, and tho only opposition the Executive can haro to Stn becoming a law is, that it takes tho appointment of Dep uty Marshals from the Executivo Depart ment and giveB it to tho Judicial Depart ment of tho government, with a proviso that each political party shall bo equally represented by United States Deputy Marshals at tho polls. This would pre vent tho partisan use of thc ?o officers, and, thoroforo, tho President vetoes tho bill. Ho wishes to retain this element of power arid coercion for Iiis party, and his only reason for wishing to retain it ia that he expects to uso it. From these reasonB we boiicvo tho Republican pro grommo in this year's election is to over awe tho people by Marshals selected from tho Republican party, and thoreby keep the colored voto solid, and deter the whitcs'.from making a vigorous canvass, os far as ouch a conreo can deter them. If the President, however, expects any such impediment to interioro with Dum ; ooratlc success in the South, he is greatly mistaken. Thu negroes are politically demoralized, and cannot any longer be Tallied to victory by the understrappers sent down hero from Washington for tho purposo of stirring them up. The South is Democratic, and all the force and fraud and perjury which the Republican party can command will not prevont a Democratic success throughout tho South this Fall. Grant's Embankment In New York. ALBANY, N. Y., May 6 In the Senate this morning, Mr. Ja cobs (Dcm.) introduced a premablo and resolution, declaring that tho "teachings of tho fathers of the Republic, with their I holy fear of monarchs and thrones, have given existence to an unwritten law which decrees that the same person shall not occupy the high office of President more than two terms," and that "there aro serious fears ' that ono of. the two ?rcat parties of the country contemplates ho violation of that unwritten law; therefore, resolved : That it is the senti ment of inf Stato of Now York that this unwritten law which has the sacred en dorsement of Washington and Jefferson, end ? which hat been recognised ana obeyed by tho illustrious line of Presi dents who have succeeded them, should be maintained in all its integrity, and that ho person should be considered eli gible for the offico of President for a third term." After some animated discussion tho resolutions were tabled by a voto of 18 to 7. . Mr. Wcodin, Republican, roso to a qnestlon of privilege, and read an extract from the Now York Sun, saying that he, .with otb erv,, bad agreed to break up the unit rulo and vote against Grant tn the Chicago Convention Ho denied this statement in tho moat unreserved man ner. ' Ho said ho would go to Chicago to give voice to a constituency as patriotic aa/'anyJU the .Commonwealth. ThA utica Convention had . only, ratified bia selection to the Chicago 'Convention. If bound by any. inst ructions they must be derived from tho constituency. no rep resented. His convictions wore clear, ntrOtig and unmixed with doubt. While ho- awarded Gen. Grant all praise, he viewed, the bare chssibility of hi* nnmina. tibia with concern? ; Tifa choleo of his district was James 9. Blaine, with whom to lead the column he felt assured of I success. He said: "I believe he will bo notait;r?*/cd. Each'hour exhibits his ] popularity." ' Mr. Halbert asked if Woodin had ac ccpted the position of dolegato and now proposed to step aside and let another! roan go thero and vote for James G. Blaine. Woodin said ho had stated at tho Stato Convention that his- choice ww not Grant. His alternate should voice tho sentiment of bis constituency. Mr. Sessions said the sentiments ex pressed by Wojdis rcrc hli own, and the views of his own constituency.

TU? Keyetoue State Democracy Alako Heady for th? Fray i tlAitniBnuri'o, PA., April 29. The homoerotic Cor' sntion was called to order nt half-past > o'clock. The Bpccial committee on credentials shortly appeared and made their report. Tho committee on resolutions reported OB folloVrn : Resolved, First. That we tho Demo cratic party nf Pennsylvania, in Conven tion assembled, renew our vows of fidelity to the fundamental principles proclaimed nnd practiced by the illustrious men who settled our freo institutions and founded the Democratic party to protect and pre serve them. Second. That the Just powers of the Federal Union, tho right? of tho States and tho liberties of tho' people aro vital parts of one harmonious system{ and to unvo each part in its whole Constitutional vigor io to save the life of the nation. Third. That the Democratic party maintains, as It ever hus maintained, that tho military aro and ought to be in all things subordinate to tho civil authori ties, it denies, us ii over hiis denied, tho right of the Federal Administration to keep on foot ut tho general expense a standing army to invade the States for political purposes without regard to Con stitutional restrictions, to control tho' pcoplo at tho polls, to protect nnd en courage a fraudulent count of voten, or inaugurate candidates rejected by the majority. Fourth. That the right to a free ballot is the right preservative of all rights, and is tho only means of peacefully redress ing grievances and reforming abuses. Tho presence at tbe polia of a regular military force and of a host of hireling ' officials, claiming power to arrest and imprison citizens without warrant or hearing, destroys all freedom of elections and upturns the very foundation of self yovcrnment. We call upon all good cit- ! izens to aid us in preserving our institu- { tions from destruction by these imperial methods, by supervising the right of suf frage and coercing the popular will, and in keeling the way to the ballot box ; open and (roe ns it was to our fathers, in ? removing the army to a safo distanco i when tho people assemble to express , their sovereign pleasure at tho pol lp, and in sosuring obedience to their will when legally expressed bv their votes. ^Fifth. That Rutherford B. Hayes hav ing been placed in power against the < well-known legally expressed will of the pcoplo, is the representative of a conspi racy only, and his claim of right to eur round tho ballot boxes with troops and j deputy inorabais to intimidate and ob- , struct electors, and his unprecedented uso , of tho veto to maintain this claim, is ab I insult and menace to the country. , Sixth. That the D?mocratie party, as ( of old, favori constitutional currency of ( gold and silver und of paper convertible , into coin. Seventh. That we are opposed to the j system of subsidies by tho General Gov- , ernment and to tho appropriation of pub- , lie moneys or credits to any object but | the public aorvice. Eighth. That the Democratic party j renews its expression of sympathy with f labor and its promise of protection to its j rights Ninth. That we look with alarm upon tho pr?tentions of the great transporta- ' tion companies, and, until they accept tho Constitution of 1S73 in good faith, tho? should reraain'the objects of the utmost vigilance and jealously by both tho Legislature and tho people. Tbe tenth resolution relates to local axial ro. Eleventh. That the great fraud of 1876-77, by which, upon a false count of the electoral v~*es of three States, tho candidate defeated at tho polls was seated in tho Presidential chair was the most deadly blow ever aimed at our By ste m of representative government. The neces sity of rebuking that great wrong imposes a more sacred duty upon the people of the Union than ever addressed tho con sciences of a nation of freemen. A supplementary resolution, instruct ing the delegates to Cincinnati to vote against and to oppose the abrogation of tho two-thirds rule led to a scene of much excitement. Mr, Snowdon, of Lehigh, ottered an amendment striking- ont the uuit clauso and favoring the abrogation of the two thirds ??IC. Senator Wallace spoke emphatically in favor of tho resolution as reported from the committee. Mr. Randuli hoped that the Instruc tions to voto as a unit would not be given. Th? question was then put to tho vote and Snowden's amendment waa carried vf 125 "*5 12J3 mn id great cheering from theRandr.ll party. The resolutions as amonded were then adopted. After the election of tho State electors and delegates to Cincinnati and nomina tions of several. Stato officers, the Con vention adjourned. ! The delegation to Cincinnati will prob ably stand 38 against and 20 for Tilden'a nomination. - Theao are Senator Wal lace's figures, and they are not contro verted by the Tilden men. A Cuniou?

As Worthy of. all bouor from the Democrats of tue United States .wes received with continued applause.

On reassembling the Convention, Mr. Convertie said that none of tbe candidates named by ibo Republicans expected to be legatly elected, but expected either by force, chicanery or fraud to get themselves into office. Tbe following platform was adopted with cheer? and without discussion ; Resolved, That the Democratic party of Ohio recognise tho long service and great ability and steadfast advocacy of consti tutional liberty which marks the career of Allan G.

He will not aay now or before the Convention anything. Hib brother and all of his family aro anxious for bini to run, aad bis brother remarked day before yesterday that 'no man living has author ity from the Governor to say he will not accept the nomination if given to him.' Governor Seymour does not imagino that be is really so popular, and is loo much c . v gentleman to raise his fing't to norn - i ir te himself. If the Southern Domo ' t 'a will take hold and use their influ mze to nominate him. regardless of i I lorn concocted by Tilden's friends, they will be surprised to find that all of the stories about his poor health, his de sire to lead a quiet life, and all such, aro merely bosh. He is sixty-nine years of nee, and is as vigorous as any man bf fifty-five in this ection. If Grant is nominated, and tho issue is Empire or Presidency, Seymour will defeat him even in Massachusetts.' Ho adds that Conkling is Seymour's brother-in-law, and that he would not begin to make the fight against Seymour that ho would : against anybody else. In conclusion he j says : 'But for Robinson and Tilden there would be no division in State affairs. y * Wo feel here that it is Seymour or a Republican, no matter who the other ? nomination may be.'

Union County, which he has represented since that time, was the first of the middle belt of Coun ties wrested, by great energy and pluck, , from the throttle of the carpet-bagger. I Since the inauguration of thc Deraocrr "c government he has been ex officio Presi I dent of the Senate, and has for a great Eirt of thc time discharged the duties of ieutcnant Governor with marked abil ity.
