inst., was numerously attended. Alex. Mc-
Kinney, Esq., of Westmoreland, presided, as
sisted by numerous Vice Presidents and Sec

Many of the old and leading tren in the party

resolutions repudiate the platform and candi
dates of the March convention# A committee

"Oocasion*l," in tSte Prest , un ler data of
Washington, April 17, has tha following:
"The President is by no mean# satisfied iiit
the Convention of Democrats, held st Harri*-
burg last Wednesday, was a failure. 1 kio*
that he has h- . i the truth iron; snore Ibau ens
of those who w r present art 1 sot what
done. Tho Presi tout is getting tire i of
cheated by eonrtieis. He l.a be] eved theiu
implici'-ly before; be refuses to trust them now.
Genera' Bowman, of the Union, who i?, as you
kr.ow, a very empty-headed and violent parti
em, amm of small intellect, of narrow i leas
—is excessively indignant at the Harrisburg
Convent, i', and threatens to prepare a e: ries
r f wood-cuts, after the style f hi? '! Bedford
county rooster, to express his feelings. He
visits the President tii-daiiy, and btgs for tu
torial# from every faithful follower of the ex
isting dynasty, showing, by his industry, that
he is resolved to exterminate all tho rebels,—
The President minages the pappr himself,
reads over the editorials, and gives directions.
Ho will pay very liberally for scalp#. He will
reward all toadies weli if they wiii bring him
facts: and if only you could send htm the head
of Hickman or Knox, on a charger, he would
forgive you oil your tnanifeld transgressions
against his new gospel."
G. W. Bowman has issued tie first number
of his paper under the name of tho "Constitu
tion," but tbo old stench wiil at: 11 stick to it,
nevertheless. It will be remembered that the
said Bowman came cn here last fall to engineer
Wilson Ilciliy through, 'out who, in consequence
of Bowman's being here, ran u less v te than
he did two years before, end was badly beaten.
Bowman to secure a vote here, itcore that ho
eou3:dcred Bedford his residence, and that as
soon os ho quit tlie office of Superintendent of
Public Printing Ac intended coming firre to re
tided His vote was taken, iie has resigned the
office of Superintendent, and hired a newspaper
in Washington. Does he intend to uiake hi*
oath good, and lie como hack again next
fall to vote?

WAVSRLEY NOVELS FOR TIIF. MILLION. — j
That enterprising firm uf publishers, T. ,B. !

TaZr. MINISTER TO SPAS'?.
Mr. Preston, the Minister of Mr.. Buchanan
to the Spanish Government, m# been most po
litely received by bur M->s* Catholic Majesty.
A telegram from Madrid thus snnounoes his
j reception:
"Mr. Preston, the Minister of the U. S., was
received yesterday, by the Qiccn, in a private
audience. In the name of President Buchan
an, he assured iicr Majesty of the Prosident's
desire to maintain friendly relations with Spain,
aud expressed his own personal conviction that
the general wish of the people of the U. S. wis
to preserve the bond# of friendship at present
existiug between the States aud Spain, and to
do everything in their power to avoid any mis
understanding between the two countries. Tha
Queen replied in terms flattering 10 both the L*.
S. and its Minister."
There was a great deal more civility than
truth in this assurance that Mr. Buchanan de
hired "to maintain friendly relations," but this
is the language of diplomacy. Of course, the
Dons know that it is "all boeii," but they pay
back in the same coin. We do not *co that
much is gained by such profession, where each
party knows that the other is fibbing.— Daily

Thero has not been a word in uny of ilic Ad
ministration papers in denunciation of the
enormous frauds proved to exist in Washing
ton, —frauds by which immense sums have beer,
lost to the government. Tha same papers are
now 'hot-foot" after Gov. Packer fauti Le
couiptou) for alleged fraud in the transfer of a
portionof the Stale Canals. It is not our place
to defend Gov. Packer from the attacks of
members of his party. We warned the people
against electing Gov. Packer, and we said that
he had too long beer: a Oaual officer to le fit
for Governor. The Democratic papers abused
n# for the suggestion, and assured the people
mat i acker wa.# one of the best men ever put
in uomiuatiau ! Tbta circumstaooo shows bow
little reliance can be safely putin the assurance
of Democratic editors.
As they have their hand in, we suggest that
they proceed to "show up" the extravagance
and villapv which flourish at Washington un
der King James the First. That at Harris

Proceeding# of the Supreme Conrt
at GalrettOii, in relation to the
Death of © C. Uartle) ,
Hon. Al. I). Graham, Attorney tjepera}, ad
dressed the Court as follows:
May it please the Court
It is a practice which has the sanction of
long usage, and which is ill ifscl: right aDti
proper, when a member of the legs] profession
emiueut for his attainments and moral worth,
has been cut off by the hand of death, for his
surviving brethren to place upon the records of
the Courts in which he practised, some endu
ring memorial of the esteem in which he was
held, while living, lu conformity wttti this
usage, I appear this morning to present to this
Court the resolutions adopted by a meeting of
the liar, held at this place on the lff'h lilt., in
relation to the death of Oliver C. Hartley—a
distinguished member of tho Galvestou Bar,
and the llcporter of the decisions of this
Court. These resolutions, however, are not
the result alooe of a desire to conform to a
mere custom; their adoption was not intcudod
to be an empty and unmeaning ceremony; but,
unless the sources of my information ha ye been
greatly at fault, they speak the irrepressible
emotions of stricken hearts, that felt and ap
preciated the loss which had been sustained by
the immediate family of the deceased, by the
Ugftl profession, and by society at large.
it might be deemed superogatory on ti*y part
to enter into an exteuded review of the history
of the deceased. That has been done, oh oth
er occasions, and by oth#is fur n.orc competent
to the undertaking than myself. it for
ute to say that, iu all the relations of life in
which he waa called npou to act—whether as a
citizen, or a soldier—w bother as a member of
tho JState Legislature, or the Reporter ot' the
riecistnus of this Court—whether as a hufband
or a father—whether iu t IKS public or private
walks of life, he has left a record unoiarred by
a single spot, and a character abisre suspicion
and without reproach.
His mind was thoroughly disciplined, aid
deeply imbued with solid learning; which ad
ded to rare powers of analysis, and a patient
industry, which no amount of labor could deter
or resist, enabled him to master every subject
which he had occasion to investigate. At the
bar, he was forcible and impressive, and sought
rather to convince the judgement than to pdease
the fancy. His perceptions were unu-ualiv
clear, and at the same time he possessed a phi
losophical turn of mind, wiiich would not rest
satisfied with titst impressions, hut which
sought to iesrn the remote as well as th prox
imate relation of things, rd having otice sat
isfied himself of the correctness of bis premi
ses, he deduced his conclusions with toe power
and skill of an accomplished h-gioian. Hen ad
no higher a tub ft ion than the full und complete
discharge of evi ry duty, and how well he suc
ceeded in this, the resu.ts of his professional
and i fliciul labors will abundantly testify., in
his professional intr rcours" he was character
ized by fairness and candor, a temper rarely
disturbed bv passion, ami a judgement never
betrayed by impulse.
But it is bis highest un-oiuiuiuio say,that his
cardinal virtue was an incorruptible integrity
which caused him to recognize no other stand
ard of professional grealnean, than that which
has iu foundation in moral excellence.
The amenity of his manners, and tk utMfc
trusiVeriess of bis character, added to a native
gooduons of heart, endeared biui to all, and to
none more tliau bis professional brethren.
Such i< the character accorded by those who
know him best, to Oliver 0. Hartley, a name
which will live when the "sculptured marble
shell have mouldered into dust," and ao long
a# Texas jurisprudence shall have a place in
the stitials of ume.
May it plow Iho Court: It is becoming in
us, a- unite and sb.>rt-?>igiited crcaiurer, to
meet with frrtrude. and to bow with resigna
tion to th> decrees of an inscrutable Provi
dence, winch we con neither i▼ ori nor control.
Nat when wo consider the long years of toil
an 1 auxie'y which iic endured—lite midnight
oil tv,iic!) he consumed, and lite physical aner
gic i wLich lie wonted in the acquisition of aat
knowledge, which was to make him useful "in
his Jay and generation;" when we rtliect that
•he results of all this labor, the wealth of
knowledge winch lie had garnered up iu the
ebttabfits of me mind, are lost to us forever -
that iitt chii be nf use to in? future only b
the recur t of the past —it i a weakness of
our nature,Vhioh almost.causes us to fret at u
destiny tbit has swept from us, uot ottiy the
casket, bu' the piicoless jewels it contained.
i> t thisdispcusatiou,ad and afflictive as it may
be, ;s not unattended with an impressive lesoti.
It ad men is his hes us 0 f the frat! tenure of hu
man existence, and that what the "preacher"
s:ys, is true, that "ail is vanity."
Death is at ali times nu unwelcome messen
ger. iiut when he overtakes decrepit ae,
bending under the accumulated weight of years
ami cares—"wrinkled and curved and white
with hoary hairs," wo are consoled by the
thought, that life's mission has been fuiti.led,
and that the "reaper" only "plucks the ears
that are hoary." When bo takes away youth
in the morning of life, there is aUo conaola
tiou; because the attachments are yet unforui
el, the usefulness of its being not yet a H p.
preeiited, —life itself is but a dream—and it
piss is away as the "early dew." But whet)
he strikes down a man clothed in the panoply
of matured strength, and in the full meridian
of his usefulness, when he has just entered
upon the realization of his youthful dreams,
aud the fruits 0 f long years of toil and labor
when he has become fhe eeuUe of a whole
circle of clustering affect ions—when the at
tachments which bind him to earth have become
a "bars of brass and triple steel"—it is then
oh I it is then, that there is no source of con
solation this side the gruve, and the hearts of
surviving friends are left desolate indeed.
It is perhaps not the least unpleasant re
flection connected with bin death, thut ho was
the victim of his own devotion to the discharge
of duty,—ere he was aware of it, tho unbend
ing assiduity with which he applied himself to
business undermined und finailv overthrew, a
natural robust and vigorous constitution. His
over-wrought nature sank under tiic rebond of
long continued, concentrated, and powerful
mental effort. Did he know this, it must have
added another pang to the agonies of death
So the struck eagle stretched upon the plain,
No more thro' rolling clouds to soar again,
View'd his own feather on the fatal dart,
Anil winged the that <jnivered in his heart;
Keen were his pangs, yet keener far to feel,
He nursed the pinion which impelled the steel.

I Chief Justice Wheeler spoke us follows :
lam certain that 1 speak the sentiments ot
the members of the court when I say :
We sincerely participate in the sentiments
expressed at tbo bar. In this bereavavnt this
court and the profession hays sustained a great
and irreparable losa. The deceased was inti
mately connected with us in official, profession
al and personal relations. He bore to us more
than the relation* of an officer of the court and
one in the first rank of the profession who dis
charged every doty with ability and fidelity ;
he was endeared to us by the kindness of Lis
heart and the moral excellence of his character
he was an esteemed and valued friend. In the
suddenness of the bereavement we arc sensibly
impressed with the truth that "in the midst ot
life we sre in death." In the prime of life
and with every promise of a loDg career of
usefulness and honor ; with every tbiug to con
tribute to the enjoyment of the present and
gild the luture with bright hopes, he his been
suddenly stri 'keu down. But the valuable
services he basso well rendered the court, the
profession and the country, will remain en
during monuments of his ability, learning and
industry. His memory will he cherished with
affectionate rciucuil raueo by all who koc-w him:
especially by those assembled hero to-div, who
knew him well and intimately. The members
of rbo court and ihe I :r, —all to whom the
life, coaiacter and services of the deceased
were known, lament bis loss, and will be roidy
with their offering of public respect or personal
I affection f" bestow upon his tomb.
We cordially unite with the bar paying '.Lis
