to be iiiem Hr,ited with the proceedings :

Osmlemkn : A professional engagement
v hicli I cannot control, will prevent my partici
pating in the proposed Democratic meeting at
I l,d risbiirsr. invited to welcome Wip foriiml nomi
nation of our candidate for the chief executive
ollice of the State.
I have said formal, because, in reality and
yiibstance, the liominalion has already been made
by those with whom reside the niiipicstinnahle
right and power to make it when and as they
please. Th People of Pennsylvania have loud
ly spoken their prompt and harmonious .-enti
our glorious state, that seemed soon destined to
reapthe benefit of his pure and patriotic services.
But bv the mysterious dispensation of that
over-i tiling I'mvidence, from whose hand alone
proniiition cometh. these hopes were nncxpeet
edlyiirid forever blasted, Tiny were the vision
of a niubt, which, when the day returned, were
ull blotted from existence. On the 1 Ith ultimo,
our beloved Muhb-nbel',; was suddenly translat
ed from the agitations of time to. the peaceful
rest of eternity, leaving bis friends to realize,
in bitterness of spirit, that "ull flesh is trass,
and all the glory of man as the flower of the field."
In tin; hour when ibe calamity was least to be
borne, and reconciliation to our loss most dilli
ciilt, he has been called from our midst to the
enjoyment of the more substantial glories of
' another and a better world'' beyond the skies.
To us no other duty now remains than to de
signate a successor for the liiaela office to which
Mr. Muhleiilii rg had been named, and it is an I
alleviation to our regret to know that this duty
can bi easily performed, as the IVoph: and the
Press have ulieady, w ith unexampled unanimity,
made the path of duty plain. Whilst we mourn
over the loss of a great ami pnod man, may we
not rejoice that his mantle has fallen upon ano
ther, eminently worthy of our snfl'ragcs '.
Mr 1'inm.av, of Lancaster, then addressed the
Convention on the same subject, and ollered the

clamation. It will be no surprise to our read
ers to bear that Mr Shunk has been nominated
by acclamation. The democracy of the state were
unanimous in pointing him out as the man to
succeed the nomination of the lamented Muhlen
berg Of bis triumphant election, we presume
there is no intelligent democrat or whig who en
tertains the least doubt. Pennsylvania, it is
well known, can poll a democratic majority of
twenty thousand, mid as there never was a no
mination effected with greater unanimity, or one
that gave more general satisfaction, we cannot
conceive why she should not give Mr. Shunk
that majority.

a doubt can or will be suggested. As far its con
stituting him the candidate of the Republican
Party is involved, it may justly be averred that
the prevailing popular unanimity rendered it un
necessary to re-assemble the convention, and
that FnAM is R Sui Ni has been, for some time
and from the highest authority, designated ,'
J'ictu ft ilr jure," for our support.
We have reason to rejoice in the ondition of
our politics, when so sei iotis olid Midden a loss
as that experienced ill the deplored death of Hen
ry A. Muhlenberg can be thus immediately and
Tims fully supplied. The fui t is elo'pifi.t of u
ii ion. of generous and cordial confident e, of an en

so embodied and so animated, never have been
and never will be defeated Uuvatutr Shunk will
cddticein confirmation of this historical and pro
phetic declaration, very many thousand unan
swerable ballot -proofs.
It has been my good fortune to know Mr.
Shunk lung and well, and to have noted the un
stained purity of his pi ivate life as well as the
manly patriotism of his political career. I t an
not be mistaken in the conviction that he richly
d "serves the w hole-souled backing of every one
of us, that is of every one w hose creed is .lell'er
Mni.in, of every one who professes the taith for
which he has vigorously and consistency, and
generously, and always battled. No firmer
morals than his uobniiester purposes no deep
er sense of the obligations of public duty no
more untiring industry no clearer intelligence
no wider expeiience in the business and w ants
of this Commonwealth no purer democracy !
He is ft for the office, fit for the occasion, as a
statesman, ft as a paity man. We, who cling to
the precepts and practices of republicanism, who
rsi-hew corporate monopolies and moneyed mon
sters, who inculcate economy, love good faith,
toleration, fiugal and plain habits, and equality :
we, I say, can fasten our rehauee upon Mr
Shunk aa fearlessly as ever mariners looked to
the trio J and tiie-st pilot. Whom, indeed, could
we more proudly and salety tru t than one who,
during war, with eijual mod.-ty and devotion,
whecb-d into the ranks tu a "mmon soldier
who, during peace, flouted (li -ul y and victorious
ly, in the very halN o our Capitol, the menaces
and muchinutiou of tii a'un. and whose unvary
ing tenor of individual and ollirial depnitiiient
has been marked by uprightness, justice, peace,
and good will to all .' That he will he our can
didate appear to me almost a matter of ionise:
bat it would delight me topee the national les
son, "e film itiita uirim," exemplified in the ac
tion of the Convention, and theuue hundred and

Reflection.
In youth's most genial, joyous hour,
I ne'er was wholly gay,
For still n thought of spectral power
I'pon my spirits lay :
Fiend-like, on loveliest things it breathed,
And bade their beauty flee;
1 saw them prematurely wreathed
In frail mortality !
If e'er with love my bosom swell'd,
Too buoyantly for earth,
That shade sepulchral came and ipielled
The pulse's mad'ning mirth ;
If friends sat round, with smiles endeared,
More dear than words can say,
That withering phantom roe and seared
Their beauty with decay.
Still rose the same prophetic shade,
Health, hope and joy to mar
And bid the sweetest prospect fade,
In darkness seen afar;
And thus life's greenest leaves of prime,
While spring yet smiled around.
(Jrew lifeless, as in that sad time
When autumn strews the ground.
Thus fairest things began to seem
I'.ut born to smile and die ;
And mil III was looked on as a dream,
And mingled with a sigh;
Love's, friendship's, pleasure's fairest flowers
Seemed withered as they grew.
Alas ! daik diiams of brighter hours,
That time should prove ye true!
