The Democratic Camlululc for Scnalor-rrloscfiD
'*■ •, Daily uguin Nomiiiutcd. : . ‘.
Vlt is.with milch pleasure thdtwo annouhco lp l|»o
Democratic parly of this Senatorial .district the ad*
jußlmcnl of the' unlbrlunulo dlfeculiy, which prigioo-.
ted'iu the, disagreement of' tho Senatorial Conferees.
of Cumberland and. Perry counties,.ami the result of
which Would have been placing before the Demochi
cy of this district two Senatorial candidates. The
ditlicully has been settled in a mode honorable to
both candidates, and which cannot fail to bo satis-'
factory to their respective friends.
In our lust, wo published the.card of Messrs. Daily
and Akoekson, refuting the question buck do the two
Conventions of Cumber land and which
they agreed that the. candidate having, tho highest
number of voles; (to bo ascertained liy
liter the voles in both Conventions,) should bo tho
Democratic nominee for Senator in the district.
In pursuance of the agreement and request of tho
candidates, tho-lvvo Conventions met in Curlblo and
Bloomfield, on Monday the IGlh instant, and their
action resulted hi the nomination ofJosKrii Daily us
tho candidate of the district, by a majority of twenty.
four coles, as will be seen by a, reference to the re
port of tho Return Judgca’published in another col
umn of this paper. • *
We most sincerely congratulate our Democratic j
follow citizens of this Senatorial district in this most'
fortunate and satisfactory settlement, of what'wo
feared, might terminate in a most unpleasant, and
unprofitable controversy j.'and • the two candidates,
Messrs. Daily and Anderson; deserve and wo doubt
not will receive, the.commendation of every honest
.and sincere friend of Democracy.in the two counties
for the plan adopted by'thorn to reconcile their res
• poctivo friends and unite the parly on one candidate.
Wo had confidence that the hitherto known and
unquestioned Democracy ofthc two candidates would
prevent either fiom standing, hi the way of an ami
cable and honorable arrangement, arfd in this we
havo.not boon disappointed.
With Mr. Daily wo have been longond intimately
acquainted. Wo knew him when ho represented the
Chester District in the Stale Senate, and we fearless
ly osserl that a more.pure; honest, and incorruptible
Democrat never occupied a seat in that body. ‘
With Mr. Anderson we have not been so long nor
so intimately acquainted, but have always hoard him
spoken of as an honorable man and sound Democrat.
When ho suffered his name to bo used against Mr
Daily, arid in opposition to the known wishes of the
Democracy of Cumberland and Perry, wo doubt not
it was at the instance of bad advisers, who de
ceived and misled him. Ilia anxiety to settle the
difficulty in an honorable manner was evidence to us|
that As at least had no disorganizing design in view,
With such candidates then as Messrs. Baity and
Anderson, wo. fell on abldfng confidence that our
unfortunate difficulties could not lust long—that
they were both 100 pate and too honest Democrats to
bo iho moans of dividing and distracting the parly t
and submitting us to tho* burning shame and morli.
ficalion ofsccing our strong'Democratic district re.
presented in (ho Senate by u Whig for the neat three |
years. They mutually came to tho rescue in a
spirit of amity and conciliation; in doing so they have
probably rescued (he Senate from tho hands of Whig
gcry fur the nest three years, and their disinterested
manly course is worthy of all commendation.
Wo would hero take the privilege of saying a word
to tho respective friends of ihe two candidates. Wi||
were sorry to notice some little acerbity of feeling m|
the day our Convention met, although not to the on
tent tlial some anticipated, for it is generally remar™
cd that fairiily quarrels are tho most violent. We
most sincerely hope that every Democrat will see the
propriety of following the example of the two camli
dates themselves,who with the most friendly feelings
for each other, have been tho means of settling, (ho
difficulty in an amicable and lionoroblc way. It is
the duty of cvfiry one, laying aside all personal prof*
crcncos, and every feeling opposed to harmony and
unity of action, to give a warm and enthusiastic sup*
port to tho nominee selected in the modo'Tccommen
ded and requested by both candidates. ■ In Mr. Daily
wo have a candidate worthy of our undivided support
and who, will ably and honestly represent the wishes
and interests of his constituents.
Wo were much gratified at the very genera) at
tendance of the delegates at tho Convention on Mon
duy_ullhough some had moro than twenty miles to
(ravel and at a season when the farmers are very
much engaged In putting in.lhoir grain, of tho 4-1
delegates composing tho Convention but 3 were ab
sent, and one of the absentees was not in tho county,
having left with his wagon for Baltimore before the
day of meeting. Such disinterestedness speaks well
for the Democracy of our county, who are willing at
any time to devolo a day at their own expense to
promote the interests and safety of their party. To
our friends in Cumberland and Perry wo would now
say, the lowering clouds of disunion and division are
past and gone—we have a fair field before.us and a
1 bright sky above us. Let us arouse to unity, concert
and energy of action, and proclaim to our Democra
tic friends throughout tho Stale, (hat no Gdlpliin
Whig shall represent old Cumberland and gallant
little Perry in tho Senate of Pennsylvania for tho
next 3 years.

, -\Yo have' known. Col,. Biulkh long ant| well,
and have always found him a high* minded and,
honorable man. Ho has been a Democrat from
his youth up. (principles oi tho party liavo
always been the rallying point of his whole fami
ly.. lie lias not'; been a tnuro spectator, of our
contests and victories—a mere well wisher and
congratulalor—but an active laborer in the cause.
He has always done whatever ,was in his power,
and was among the first and readiest to enter the
copies!, and carry our flag wherever.danger called
for encouragement and exertion, •.
While he was in the Senate of Pennsylvania,
Col, Bigler was an active champion of democra
cy. Thiee things distinguished his course, per
sonal kindness and courtesy, unbending Integrity,
and unwavering democracy. He was not merely
the Senator for his own district, but the welfare
of the whole commonwealth was constantly in
his view, and the principles! which ho deemed the
best, he sought to spread in every direction,
During the last political contest for Governor
of this, State, he. displayed a disinterestedness
iand a magiiimiiy that has gained him the Admira
tion of every Democrat, His name was-placed
before the convention with that of 3udge‘L*ng
atreth, for the nomination, which Mr. Longstreth
was successful in getting, "In such cases we too
often see the evidence, in meaner spirits, of dis
appointment and. disaffection—a grumbling and
unprincipled determination to do every thing to.
defeat the fortunate competitor—or at least a per
fect indifference in regard to the election of the
ticket. But such was not the case with Col,
Biousa. With a noble spirit Undent to work,
und labored to secure the election of the man]
who had been Iris rival- for the nomination. He
canvassed bis own and adjoining counties, and
the vole that was given, proves the influence that
ho carried with him. Such conduct has done
much, we have no doubt, to gain him-lhe confi
dence and admiration of every section of the
Slate, but his personal .qualifications, his known
integrity, and the blandness of his manners, has
done much more. Should this sterling Democrat
and excellent man be chosen as the next Demo-
Iralic candidate for. Governor, the Democracy of
H®Mother Cumberland will givejrim a majority
KgUm astonish the natives, and knock Feder-
Bffei )nto a cocked hat.

bo up and doing—the work of organization should

WHIG SENATORIAL CONFERENCE* ?J

JENNY I.IND>S FIRS'!* OONOfiRT. |
Jenny Lind's first ooricerl idok place at Castle ■
Garden, New York, on. Wednesday evening, and
treated the greatest excitement.. As 1 early as I,
o’clock inlhe ariernQOo' < lhß lQaUery waS 'lhronged
by the eager multitude, and every, avenu* leading
to the building was completely blocked up. i;
A despatch to tho’PUiladelpliin £wn thus speaks.,
of, ilia audiehce and the .appearance, of, Jenny.
Lind: ‘ ‘'‘S’ : •'
'.Such on assemblage as here met my eye, I
never saw before, except in the same place mote
than a quarter of a century since, at the ball given
to Lafayette; The whole.vast amphitheatre was
Riled with ladies, gentlemen, and boquels. ■ ■ I
The appearance of Jenny Lind was the signal
for a furore of applause, which lasted for some
mlnines; shout upon-sbout .rent, the air, and bo
nnet upon boquet flew through it ■ towards lie
.* uiohtintiale,” until the stage looked like •> the
gardens of Gul hi their bloom.’! At last silence
was effected, and the very first pause at the
second bar of “ Uasla Diva,” gave me every as
suranco that her voice was of surpassing sweel
ne Nollting could exceed the pathos, devotion, and
lender fervor of Iter rendering, .of this delightful
druidical prayer.. 1 heard, yteffanoni sing it last
night, but the Lintl’s was the tinkling ol silver
bells to the very cow bell, in comparison ol the
sweet voiced Italian. In volume, strength and
expression, her voice can be compared to none
oilier I ever , heard—it is a constant gushing of
melody—flowing without an effort or impediment
—brilliant in the upper register; and managed
with an effect that baffles all description—like
BOscha’s variations on the harp—pure and sono
rous in the middle notes, and clear, deep, .and
sustained with the most perfect truth and evenness
ih the lower scale* We had heard'her voice de
scribed as a throat voice, under astonishing man
agement'; but her tones obme froin her cheat, as
sonorlously as they do from the gigantic Marini.
The following is the prize .sung, written by
Bayard Taylor, which was sung amidst the great
est applause, It .is entitled u Greeting to Ameri
ca.”
[ greet, with a full heart, tiio Land of lira West.
Whose haulier of stars o'er a world is unrolled: -
Whoso empire o’ershshtows Atlantic’s wide breast,
And opens to Ihe sunset it* gateway of gold I
The lunii ut UnHiimintniii—lire land of tire lake,
And rivers that roll in uingnidcmit tide,
■ Where the souls of the mighty from slumber awake,
And hallow the soil for whole freedom they died!
Tlmu cradle or Empire! though wide J>» the foam
That Havers the mud of my lathers from.thvo,
I hoar, from iliy iu.som, the welcome of home—
>'..r anng lias n liorno in tint henna of the free I
.A ml hrnj* thy writers shall gleam in the snn.

Uc the hands of (hy children united as one.'
