The Committee appointed to report resolutions expressive of the sentiments of the Democratic Convention, respectfully report the following:— Resolved, That with struggling Freedom every where, the sympathies of the Democratic party keep watchful company when soever the people are lifting up their voices in a manly shout for in depence, we here on the declaration day of our own, give them back for answer the full utterance of the heart's best hope, that God's blessing will smile upon their perils, and give them in all time to come a day like this. Resolved, That it is our duty to watch with a jealous eye, our own liberties—and to resist early and always. every encroachment upon the general rights of the people. We regard with serious alarm, the power which corporate associations are daily stealing from the many to the few. Resolved, That prodigal grants of special privi leges, we 'will dispute forever. No new Bank, nor any re-charter, without stringent individual li ability; and every possible restraint the law can lay on banking corporaftons, we hold to be an im perative necessity of the times. There is no safe ty, and can be none, except in a firm and faithful adherence to the specie basis. Resolved, That the interests and rights of labor it is but just todafeitd. . The labor of the country is the wert.th of the country, and the impulse of her progress and prosperity. Resolved, That the Ten Hour law, without pro viso, amendment or appendage, to defeat its oper ation, is a measure that demands our cordial and unchanging support. Resolved, That shinplasters, issued by municipal or other corporations, we denouncd - as false repre sentatives of money, by which labor is defrauded of its just reward. And all schemes of relief is sues, being but printed confessions of insolvency, put upon the people as current equivalents for in dustry, we regard as worthy of signal condemna tion. The Democratic party, if it is honest, con fesses its poverty, but repudiates rags. , Resolved, That the Democratic party adheres now as it ever has done to the constitution of the country. Its letter and spirit they will neither weaken nor destroy ; and they re-declare that slavery is a domestic local institution of, the South, - subject to state law alone and with which the gen eral government has nothing to do. Wherever the State law extends its jurisdiction the local :n -stitution can continue to exist. Esteeming it a violation of State rights to carry it beyond State limits. We deny the power of any citizens to ex tend the area of bondage, beyond Its present domin ion,—nor do we consider it a part of the compro mise of the constitution, that slavery should forever travel with the advancing column of our territo rial progress. Resolved, That John A. Gamble is a genuine representative of the democracy of Pennsylvania— simple in his hahits, strictly republican in all his feelings and principles, honest and faithful in the discharge of all his duties—possessing as he does, in an eminent degree a sound and correct judg ment and a familiar acquaintance with the inter ests and capabilities of the State, we confidently present him to the people of this commonwealth as a suitable person for the office of Canal Com- inisstoner. On motion the resolutions were taken up and acted on separately. Mr. Schoonover moved to amend the resolution with relation to slavery by inserting the resolution adopted by the Baltimore Cpnvention. Mr. Whallon moved the indefinite postpone ment of the resolution. The question was warmly discussed by Messrs. Schoonover, Mercur, and Black. On motion adjourned till 3 o'clock. AFTERNOON SESSION The Convention assembled at 2 o'clock, and was called to order by the Chairman. The consideration of the resolutions offered by the committee, was resumed. The discussion was continued by Messrs. Wha ion, Snodgrass, Reed and Coffroth. The resolution relating to slavery was unani mously adopted. The resolutions offered by the Committee were all adopted. At the request of Col. Black, Mr. Gamble was permitted to make a statement. Mr. Gamble said—Mr. President: I understand to-day that a charge has been brought against me that in 1846 I opposed the elections of Wm. B. Foster for Canal Commissioner. The charge is entirely false. Mr. Faster received my most ard ent support. I attended the Convention in my County, and through my exertions, a delegate was elected favorable to the nomination of Mr. Foster. After his nomination I used every exertion to se cure his election.. About a week before the elec tion business called me to New York—and I was unable to return in time to vote for him—as I most cersainly would have done. This is a plain statement of the fads, and if the Convention de sires anything more, '.I would remark, that a dere gate present has in his possession a letter from my neighbor, Mr. Crane, who is a relative of Mr Fos ter, which wilkompletely refute the charge of my fidelity to my party. The Convention were satisfied with the state ment of Mr. Gamble and greeted his remarks with 3 cheers. The (glowing resolution, offered by Mr. Young was adopted. Resolved, That this Convention deem it their duty at this time to express their disapprobation and detestation of the barbarous law now upon our National Statue Book, authorizing the flog ging of American Seaman on Ship-board, viewing it as repugnant not only to humanity but to every principle of republicanism and justice. The following resolution offered by Mr. Derr, was adopted. Resolved, That the distinct and emphatic pledge and promise made before the last Governor's ejec tions by the party now in power to perfect, in this :•-tate, the Ten Hour Factory Law, and the eleva tion of the laboring class, has been shamefully vio lated, for when ample opportunity presented itself during the last session of the Legislature, they re fused to repeal the obnoxious proviso attached.to the Bill by the present Chief Executive. Mr. Mercur offered the folldwing resolution, ,which was adopted : Resolved, That the practical workings of the pre sent revenue laws, clearly demonstrate their supe riority over :hose which immediately preceded them Thus proving that that which was logical in argument, is sound in principle, and practical ',in its effects. All systems which give bounties to particular interests to the detriment of the great industrial classes of the Country—which seeks to aggrandize the few at the expense of the many, are a clear violation of those principles of demo cracy which proclaims to all equality of rights. The Chair announced the State Central Com mittee, it is composed of the following gentlemen: STATE CENTRAL COMMITTE. 5 J. Glancy Jones. 1 Gideon G.

D . _ Vain one, my heart has ever Borne in meekness The pangs of misery, as my life declines And as my spirit strove to heal its•weakness, It shank as it perused those meaning lines. Full well I know, the form I love would never Seek to be heard by me in such a strain, For Those whom nature takes such pains to sever Can ne'er expect each others heart to gain. Thy pen displays much reason, art, and beauty In painting, what the one I seek, might tell, But to the breast whose love was almost duty, Thou canst not hc;pe to e'er revive the spell. To one whose peace of mind was nearly broken, Thy words have caused its wounds afresh to bleed For knowing what the true lip might have spoken Your thoughtless pen did perpetrate the deed. Thou, in whose heart there lived no trace of feeling For me, when thou didst pencil yonder verse, And thou,. in breathing, what she might have spoken, But add'st another shadow to my curse: The brittle hopes thy spirit sought to waken Grew dimmer, as they tasted woman's whim; And it has learned my heart to feel forsaken, And taught my soul to feel its shadows grim. But to a mind of weak, unsettled power, Where deep experience hath not held its scope In such a bosom, for perhaps an hour Thou might'st revive a single throb of hope. But to a being that hath felt the danger Of seeking that which it can ne'er obtain, The throes of hope, are but a transient stranger Whose dull advances tempt the soul in vain. Since thou can'st picture what another mortal In such a season might have aptly done, Just place thyself in sorrow's shady portal And there portray how words nay torture one, Then would'st the light upon thy fair brow quiver The daystar of the hopes would cease to gleam, Thy spirit, then, would seek oblivion river To drown its sorrows in that deathless stream. DIY CHILD. I cannot make him dead ! His fair sunshiny head Is ever bounding round my study chair; Yet when my eyes, now dim With tears, I turn to him, The vision vanished—he is not there ! I walk my parlor floor, And through the open door I hear a footfall on the chamber stair; Pm stepping toward, the hall To give the boy a call; And then bethink me that—he is not there! I tread the crowded street; A satchell'd lad I meet; With the same beaming eyes and colord hair; And as he's turning by, Follow him with my eye, Scarcely believing that—he is not there ! I know his face is hid Under the coffin lid; Closed are his eyes—cold his forehead fair; 11 , 1 y hand that marbly felt; O'er it in prayer I knelt, Yet my heart whispers thathe is not there!

Miscellaneous. Visit to Mr. Webster..-His Moira- tanty. A Boston correspondent of the Picayune has been up to Franklin, N. H., to pay a visit to the " Lion of the North." The following is an extract from the "notes" of 'what he heard, saw and ailmkred "Mr. Webster entertains with true hospitality. You are at home with him from the first moment. The guest can entertain himself Thee are horses. guns and fishing rods You can ride, shoot or fish, and for rainy weather or a studious mind, there are books always well selected. I found on his table Milton, Salter's Angler's Guide, and a history of the Domesticated Animals. each indicative of hisetaste and pursuits. "When I read Milton," said Mr. Webster, " I cannot help thinking how poor Shakspeare is in comparison.— When I read Shakspeare I wonder how I could ever like Milton." There is no statesman of our coun try so familiar with these great writers as Mr. Webster—no orator of the English tongue whose style in vigor, in sublimity, in word-painiing is so much akin to theirs. At dinner, the fish we ate was caught by his own hand ; the meats were the product of his farm, all was domestic growth, save the sherry. That is not even imitated in New Hampshire. Currant and elderberry wines—dearly prized of old ladies—are the sole vinous productions of the Granite State. Mr. Webster makes of dinner not only an oc. casion for eating. It is at his table no less an in tellectual than a sensual gratification. Dr. Johnson said of Burke, " You could not be with him by accident under a shed to escape a shower of rain, without learning something new." Mr. Webster is full of varied intelligence, and at dinner time more particularly, he pours forth his stores of intellectual wealth, without stint. Anecdote and illustration of manners and men—criticism of books and actions —whole histories of events with their causes and consequences are gratuitously yours—and such as no price could elsewhere purchase. '• And Mr. Webster is not one of those men who are "got up" for an occasion. He does not cram for an audience. He is as interesting in a tel as at a lull table. His intellect is warmed by its own motion, and requires no adventitious aid to bring it out. He can snake himself as impressive to an individual as to a 'listening Senate.'" A Lowly Mind. The greater the submission, the more grace. It there be one hollow in a valley lower than another, thither do the waters gather. The more lowly vi`e are in our own eyes; the more lowly we are in the sight of God. When to ourselves we are despica hie, to Him, through Christ, we are acceptable.— We are unworthy : let us be lowly. Job was com ing near to the blessing when he said, "I am vile; what shall I answer Thee "--R. Younge, 4655. 117 - Dr. Johnson said, "wretched would be the pair above all names of wretchedness, who should be doomed to adjust by reason eyery morning, all the minute, detail.of a domestic day.' ANGRY WORDS n'iIm..IAMTS MIDDLETON' Angry words are lightly spoken In a rash and thoughtless hour, Brighiest links of life are broken _ . By their deep insidious power'. Hearts inspired by warmest feeling, Ne'er before by anger stirr'd, Oft are rent past human healing, 'By a single angry word. Poison-drops of care and sorrow, Bitter poison -drops are they, Weaving for the coming morrow Saddest memories of to-day. Angry words, oh, let them never From the tongue unbridled-slip ; May the heart's best impulse ever Che k them ere,they soil the lip ! Love i Fria For a I Thus Angry Bitter.

The idea, toi. t 'nto _ ! weak craniums that it is disgraceful labor; that to work is to stoop from superior dignity and excel lence. But God has not so said in the arrangement ne has made. It is an ordination of his, that he who will nct work shall not eat well, nor sleep well, nor feel well—that his condition shall be the reverse of that man, who, standing firmly upon the green earth, his hand banging carelessly by his side, and his eyes wandering over space, is permit ted to feel, thus circumstanced, such agreeable sen sation arising in his mere bodily frame, that he can raise his mind to heaven, and thank God that he is a living man. Not only do bodily health, and vigor, and noose cpient enjoyment, depend upon labor, but also health artd vigor of mind, and the pleasurable emotions rOulting from this mental condition. It has been well asked, "What distinguished man in this coun try or age, or any other, but took a great amount or exercise while young!" You can hardly point to a great man, to one eminent in any department of knowledge or letters, whose hands in his early years were not hardened, his frame knit and ren dered sinewy, and his brow made dusky by manual toil. No man perhaps, of the present day. stands 'higher as a scholar than Elihu Burritt, the learned blacksmith • and thamikict that, while mastering language after language, he was compelled to labor at the anvil and forge eight hours every day, tells the whole story of his intellectual growth. and the way he climbed up to eminence and distinguished honor. Henry Clay was once a poor boy, and knew what is was to work with his own hands for a living. And the immortal Shakspeare, whose fame is world wide, often laid aside his pen, folded the wings of his genius, hushed the voice of his lyre, and went nut to labor in carrying brick and mortar. " Webster was a backwoodsman, born in a 'log cabin' on the bnrders of the unbroken forest," and was no stranger to hardship, exposure and daily toil. "Franklin, the beacon star of his profession, was a practical printer." Washington, whose fame is eternity," when not in the service of his country, was engaged in agricultural purattits; and he received the news of Lis election as President of the United States while following the plough. And shall it be said that labor is disgraceful? that to worlc is undignified, and is not indispensable to health and vigor of body and of mi.A ? No—it is manly to labor, and for six thousand years God has been uttering it in human .ears, that he who will not work shall not enjoy. A Hundred Years Hence. It strikes me as the most impressive of all senti ments—that it will be all the samea hundredyears alter this. It is often uttered .in the,form of a proverb, and with the levity of mind that is not aware of its Lip' rtance A hundred years after this! Good heavens! With what speed and with what certainty, will those hundred years come to their termination! This day will draw to a close, and a number of days makes up one revolution of he ,seasons. Year follows year, and a number of years makes tip a century. These little intervals of time accumulate, and fill up that mighty space which appears to the fancy so big and so immeas urable. The hundred years will come, and they will set out the wreck of whole generations. Every living thing that now moves upon the face of the earth will disappear from it. The infant that now hangs on its mother's bosorn - vviiNonly live in the remembrance of their grind children. The scene of life and of intelligence that is now before me will be changed into dark and loathsome forms of corruption. The people who now heat me, will cease to be spoken of; their memory will Perish from the face of the country ; their flesh will be devoured with worms, and the dark and creeping things that live in the holes of the earth will feed' upon their bodies; their coffins will have mouldered away and their bones thrown up in a new made v.rave. And is this the consummation of all things? Is this the final end and issue of man ? Is this the upshot of his busy history? Is there nothing be yond time and the grave to alleviate the gloomy picture, to chase away these dismal images?— Must we sleep forever in the dust, and-bid an eter nal adieu to the light ot heaven?—Dr. Chalmers.
