This motion was -Made. by Mr, Grow, a noted'Aimlitionist front lienesylva nix, and the2Ciadidate, at the. late Congress, of the Black Repeblicin", party for the of-s lice of . Speaker. It. was supported-by all the :neele. s of that prey, by certain individuals belonging to the late Know Nothing or merican" organization, and by several Damper as, and was therefore pa. . As this was a viol's-ion of all iliamenta-4 ry usages, of all legislative proprieties, and al :course ittsulting to . a ce-Ordivate .branch of the Congress, its sepleortere doubtless thoughi • that the Senate could not consistently with its own '4-respect take' any notice of the I ntafter, and-thus-the Lill be sitifered.'to die quietly to the detriment: l bl the public service.

In accordance, however, with the' views of the House, they would have nothing t o d o w i t h this bill, but iesist e d that the Senate branch of the Conroluee should stecep . t, instils(' of it, an entire newbill, which was represented to be similar to the one - which had originally: come from , the House. -.The Senate branch .- of the Committee. setiree that nothineelse could be done. hietreell' report this bill -to the 'Senate ter its 'consideration.

But - since the reduction of the postage SUNOS teats tliA dope/tram:it bas been tame 'le to sustain itielf, and'tbe deficiency of the nest year - nes estimated to, amount to up wards ofsnme millions. We must therefore do one of . three things: either cut down the present postal service, or increase the rates of postage, or thirdly; draw large 'urns Gem the Treasury to be replaced by high titrill taxes. We were opposed. in the first Place to cutting - down post routes glnierally, believing a-better arrangement could be made. It was thought that the abolition of the flanking privilege of the two houses of Con- Igress would , directly br indirectly, be the means of saving not less than $2,000,000 an nttally, and that an advance as proposed on letters and bthcr postage wOuid supply what Might be found nellessarv. Let us see wheth er this would not have been better' then the ;last of the three modes. The whole emouitt paidlast sear for postage in North Glrolina fwas sl,ooe. If postage were raised on letters from three to five cents, and the same num ber sent through the wails as -formerly, the increase would amount to $53,000 only. Our people being mostly•e4aged in', agriculture, do not write at Many letters as do many 'other classes sof the 'coattnunity. Suppose, however, that this deficiency should be paid, hot according to the.number of letters written, but out of the Treasury, and raised through thernperation of the twill. It then has to be paid in the increased price of sugar, salt, iron, and merchaudise generally. If North Care ling should pay in proportion to her poptria• tion as a State of the Union, she would halls to advanCe one-thirtieth part of thes2,ooooo of deficiency , equal to $300 , 000. But, in fact, as I have lately had occasion to show in the debate on the tariff, when this sum of nine millions is paid In , the Oporters, they charge a percentage on it when selling to the retail dealers, and these latter likewise a profit upon what they sell to the consumers .of the country at large. These two profits amount to at least 66 per cent. on the -first rourn, so that the people pay, in fact, to get these nine to Ilium into-the Treasury, about fifteen millions in all. The share of our State, therefore; would be $600,000, or nearly, ten times the increase of postage. Besides, it is supposed that the manufacturers realize quite as much to the shape of protection as the Government receives. As both of :heft bur- dens fall upon the consumers it is thefore pro- bable that the people of our State would, by reason of this deficiency of nine millions, pay twenty, and certainly ten, times as much as they w.ould do by reason of the increase of postage. - ..But.suppose 1 am wrong in both of these opiniobs, why did notate House disagree to these two arnvidments I- We might - then by recedinefrom them passel the Lill. Why did they adopt this extraordinary course, unknown in the history of our legislation?

The proceedings were harmonious, and alnimt unanimous, as may be sett by the report published list week. The dele gates seemed universally impressed with a sincere desire to overlook minor differences on questions of policy, and cordially unite in endorsing the—great futidamental principles thst from the basis upon which rest!' the on ly party that takes the Constitution and the welfare of the whole Union for its guide. The resolutions Were prepared with great care and mature deliberation; and that they .fully express the eentiments of the true heart ed Democracy, we need not nerw pause to argue—every. octet who has read them has al ready formed that conclusion. There may be slight differences of opinion in regard to some matters of detail,but they could not he amended so as to more correctly embody-the ''‘iews of all throughout the State. _ Their passage on second reading, with a- few slight verbal alterations: without a solitary "no," proves s convlusivelY• that there were no con flicting setitimenti entertained by any dele gates. Nye point to this fact with pride and pleasure, establishing as it does, the fact the Democratic prirty are a unit in sentiment and purpose, throughout both State And Nation, this ensuring ns a triumphant vic tory over all factiOns which may be arrayed" egainst us. Of the candidate!, nominated, we Deed not speak at )eagth,i as they are, men of well known integrity. 1 Richardson L. Wright of I Philadelphia, the candidate for Auditor General, is a man 'of good abtlities, great energy of chnfacter, and unspotted integrity. Re has served four years in the House of the Senate;and commands the confidence and respect of 'an who k.now,hitn. Out oppccnents, who are so fond of charging 'corruption upon all Demo errata, agree that he is incorrupt and incor ruptible. Such a man is needed for Auditor . General. John Ru*e, of Franklin - County, who was - Pe-nod:dilated fur Surveyor General, 1 has performed thn duties of his office so well that there. was no opposition to him in the friends, for not one dared rsi+e his 'woken in defence of the Sunbury and Erie swindle, and, we candidly believe, if that act had been specified, not a man would have voted • It need dot be argued that a "Lecomp toe-issue was made upon Packer. That question of the past did not intrude itself in -1 to the doings of the convention in any shape, l and of the 37 *lto toted for the resolution endohing him, a majotity *ere "those who have been known as 'Lecompton" men. The resolutioi3 covered his Slate policy only, and the vote was a test upon that questron only, except that several delegates who did not fully endorse it, were willing to waive their objection to secure the aid of him and his friends in supportof the ticket. _ -- Altogether, the convention cottld not have acted more wisely. An unqualified endo.se meat of the Governor would have been an act of madness, and a qualified approval of his State policy would have fastened the canal iniquity upon the party, dooming it to certain and deserved defeat. While the con vection-refused tb endorse the course of the Governor, let it be remembered that they re (rained from an utter repudiation, such es a majority of the delegates felt that he deserved. I In the language of a delegate, the convention by its acts said: "Go your way,sin nolnorii after a time we shall be glad to, hear from you." If time shall vindicate de acts of our Gerstner, we shall be pleased Hat on their molts alone mu.t he depend for popular ap- proral : t i r We notice a ll in tunny's Prris for a Logue State convention At Harrisburg on the 12th of,April. The call is sieved by man of all political stripes. Among them are Forney. Hickman, '9l. Q.) Pearce, Webster. Cake, and several other Abolitien ists and Know-Nothings (rota Philadelphia, Berke, Chester sad Schuylkill counties. The purport of the call is to hold a "democratic" Mass convention that shall . repudiate the National Administration and endoise Gov. Packer. The real design is to get up a ticket that shall either draw off a few Dernecratic votes and give the regular opposition ri . clear 'field, or one that shall reeeivb the endorse ment and sopportof all the opposition fac tions in the State. The latter plan looks tnost probable, as the regular opposition have also issued a call for a meeting of their committee, with a view to hold their State nominating convention at the same time, or soon after. The call Is a treacherous moveritent, for not one of the leaders in it .will vote their own ticket, should they select one, unless it be adopted by the"Amerlcan"and `!ltepublican' factions. Should-a third ticket be pot in the field, those who conduct th'e movement and do the shouting, will quietly 'vote for the op- .‘ position. nominees, as they did last Fall, leaving their dupes to throw away their votes, thus rving half a vote to the enehty. In I.ltis section, such a ticket can command no perhaps get one, and possibly two votes, but not more. The persbn who would be most likely to vote such a ticket, voted with the iopposition last Fall, and will again, unless t the movement be perfected, and even then his vote would be-doubtful, but in• no case %would he Tote with -the Democrats. The other person to whom we refer, stood a_t home I last Fall, and will most probably do so again. iu any etrent a third ticket mobld do 415 no The excuses put forth by Forney & Co for the calling of this .conrentiun are based solely upon falsehood - and misrepresen- talion, so .far as they claim that the ,late con vention did not represent the position of the Democratic party. Forney says that the ne leo es had "moms bcert eltcted as Office holders, "or DT offire.holders;" a statement which he knows is designedly and wickedly false. •The balance of his charges and state meta are on a liar with th!s, in regard to until and decency. Greeley highly approves the movement;aod will labor for the dewed ,end. A pretty sight indeed,—Forney,Greeley & Co. Efr We notice that the opposition press is attempting to make a political application of the recent amalgamation case in Datford, this county, by alleging that dm act of the girtin marrying the darklewai owing to the that her father is a Democrat; diet forc ing the conclusion that Democratic doctrines tend to amalgamation. Every man, woman and child knows better than this; a directly opposite state of affairs being the correct con clusion. We bare no desire to make any political reference in this matter, but as the issue is forced upon us, we accept it. The girl's fatheris a Democrat. We agree with the .. opposition that somebody's teachings have teamed her to take the step she has, but we deny that she learned such detest , able ideas at home, or among Democrats. There, her society was with white Demo crate; now she is with black and white Black Republican amalgamationists. She , 2 like many abets, was raised under Democratic induances, but, like them, she has been se duced fiom the good faith of her Demo- , . erotic father, and gone over to the oppo i action, politically and socially. She is sim-- ply a convert to Black Republicanism, to its fullest extent, ,Others are Cat half-way converts ; she takes the whole doctrine,— "goes to its extreme, but ultimate end. Others, , in tithe, will follow her, nblees the tide re cedt. 'When abe associated With Demo crate, she would base shuddered at, the thought of Deg's:, equality.

They, however, left too soon. As there was no quorum present, no bnsineli, of course, could be - transacted, and when the Governoi's veto message was sent in it could not be received.

The subject of this brief notice came to Springville, Susq'a &minty, (then Luzerne,) in 1801. He was among that gallant band of pioneers who first penetrated this ,gionniy forest, and suffered the vicialtudeit and hardships inci dent to all who enter the primeval forest. Our pen is too feeble to express the kindness and respect we ought to bear those early . settlers who left behind them-many of the .comforts and enjoyments of life, to seek ,a scanty subsistence in the wildereess. Mr. Blakeslee diefi, upon the farm he commented upon, fifty-four years ago. He was ever ready to extend the hand of friend. shipoind always met his _friends with a smile upon his, countenance. It has been our privi lege to enjoy a social and intimate acquaintance with the deceaied for a period of forty years or more. He was trulran exemplary n ; and the. kindness and urbanity of his manner en. geared him to all his associates; while the aim. plicity . which was a marked feature , of his char acter,did not permit him to assume an offensive or unreasonable control over their opinions. He was a consistent add exemplary member of the •Methodist• Episcopal church, and was a very in fluential and generous. contributor towards the erection or Ombra° of a good house in the -mil. Inge -of Springville where that society met for public worship. His hinge has ever been an asylum for the itinerant clergyman, as bo tray. meted his circuit, through wet, heat and cold ; and we doubt not that a petition has been sent up for him front - many a greatful heart. • • He has left a highly respected family to mourn his exit. A telegraphic dispatch had been sent to an only son, on whom he fondly doted, but he did-not arrive in time to clasp the band of honored and esteemed father until he was cold in death. 'Sometime previous- to his death lied while his -reason was yet bright, he lisped the name of that son, the Rev. George 11-Blakeslee. His remains - were, borne to the church, where a very large concourse of persons assembled, and Wetted to a very impressive discourse, de livered by the, Rev. John V. Newell. The porn tion of scripture selected-tor the occasion was Balms Btli cl(apter and 40 . verse : " What is man that-thou art mindful of him, sad the son of man that thou visitest him)"
