' A number of spirited -and patriotic resolutions were adopted, and other inte resting proceedings were entered.into. We extract the following : Rao/red, That the Federal party in the present, as in the war of 1812,1 mi-el been false to the coun try ; that its sympathies have been warmly enlist ed and:expressed, in speeches and by its press, in behalf of Mexico; and that this treasonable course has had the effect to prolong the ivar, by shame lessly exhibiting to the MeXican people a party in this country "ecodering aidi end comfort" to our common foe. . Resolved, That we cordially concur in Hit senti moot of opposition to a United Stated' ',Bank and the restoration of the Tariff of ' , 12, unanimously adopted by the Democratic County Meeting of this county, in April last, and, with that meeting, regard it as essential to the security of the rights and pro teclion of the interests of the people and the State, by the continued ascendancy of that national poli cy approved by a Jarrsascis and a JAcr.sox,— that the Detnocratic candidate for the Presidency in 1845 be he who he maybe known to be thorougl.• bly sound and right upon the Bank, Tariff, Cur rency,and other measures which distinguish Demo ocracy from Federalism. Resolved, That we • regard regular Conventions, County, State and National; for the nomination of candidatea.for County, State and National ogees, essential to thermion, integrity, harmony and -sue. cess of the Democratic party, and the ascendancy &those great measures of national, policy, with which it is indentified ; for, in the language of the brave and gallant Taylor and Wool, at the close of the battle of Buena Vista, " We can't; be beaten when we all ptill together." We, therefore, approve of a National Convention for tfre nonunation of Demo. - trade canilidates for the Presidency and. Vice Presi dency in-4319,—already recommended by several States,and to which the Democracy of Maine have appointed delegates--confidently believing that that body, when assembled, will present candidates of sound and unquestioned Democratic principles, and in all respects worthy of those offices, and of the united support of all Democrats of all, the States. Resolved,. That we have unwavering confidence in JAMES K. POLK, the working President of the United States; that his administration has been characterized by the purest patriotism, and con ducted with - signal ability ; and that the people of the. Northern and Eastern States have lately ,ex pressed their respect and esteem for the' man, and his office, in such a decided manner as must be gratifying not only to himself, but also to the party which elected him. Resolved, That FRANCIS. R. SHUNK, has the entire confidence of the Democrats of Chester coon ty; that through his whole life long he has been steady to the Democratic faith; that since his ele. vation to the gubernatorial' chair of this;his native State,.he has nobly maintained his cherished poli tical views, and successfully re-established the cre t ' dit of our tate; that the prefix of "flattest Frank" to his name, is a truth which his boldest oppo nents dare not gainsay; that the people of this State never forsake a tried public servant, and that our confidence is entire in his re-election by a tri umpliant majority. _ , • Resolved, That the Convention which presented to us for our suffrages, ~the name . of MORRIS LONGSTRETH as the candidate . for Canal Cam missioner, did wisely aria.ivell; and that his pure and unspotted reputation; both •moral and poli tical; entitle him to that Oich he cannot fail to re ceive—a full vote and a triumphantelection:, II Ma rsf. the Fede. deadly op. ;en: TAYLOR id by the um le party.

From the,Brooklyn Advertiser ONE OF TOO: MANY. -Passing along Henry street.. on Saturday eve ning, we were acosted by a little gal, clothed in rags anff patches, with • , please, air, to give me a few coppers. I am•hongry and mother is hungry and my two brothers and one sister are sick; do give me a few coppers, sir." She was about 8 years of age, and her sunken, hollow cheeks and tattered divas showed plainly that she was the child of poverty. "Is your father horne I" we asked. "Fatherdied suddenly and was buried last Monday," said the little girl, as the tears bowed down her cheeks. " Please give me a few cop. pens," she continued;" wears , so himgry." It was evident that the little girl spoke the truth, and we asked her if she would show ns the place - Where she lived. "It's a long way "_ she replied, "and it's dark all the wa'y up the stairs to the room where mother is." We took her hand; for many a block she led us on. and as she spoke of her fa ther's death she wept. Whed father died," she said, " my brother, cried all day and all night too, until it made him sick, and rm afraid he will die. But Le don't cry now; he is too sick and teak; and mother has no money to pay a doctor, and no medicine, nor nothing nice to give him to eat. Q, sir, make haste," she said, as she ran ahead, " mother will want the pennies I have got, and will he so glad . to see you, for nobody has been - in the room since father died." For many a block we were led by. the ragged but now gladsome little chatterer, and at length she stopped before the door of a house nearly in the centre of a block of buildings, and tripping lightly up the steps of the stoop, said, " mother lives here ;'the place is dark, but Ira you up there," Up one, two, three pair of stairs, we followed our little guide in utter darkneis "This way," she said, as sheittized our hand. She led us on till she. arrived at a door, whip.' she op ened and we entered. Mother," Said our guide, this you, when I asked him for some Cents for you, wanted to come- to see you I have ,brought hid] mother, and now he'll know that I didnt tell him a story." The mother waS leaning over a boy of about four teen, Fying on a straw .mattrass placed upon a chest on one side of the room. The tears were streaming from het eyes, and from the „boy 's eyes too, There was a cot in -another corner of the room, do which lay two sick children. They moaned--0 how painful it -*at to heir them There was neither chair nor table in ihe roorn . ; two large boxes were there on one of which we took our seat. "Och sir," she said, releasing her arms from the neck of her sick son, " an its hard to have to send me little girl to beg, but it's hard er still to starve wid three children sick wid the ship fever in one room, and ,not a thing to give MS It was a wretched. ploee; the woman had nei ther bit nor sup in her rootn, nor means where with to obtain them,- save the few cents our little guide brought in. They had not tasted food that day, A sir - it to the market and the appearante of a butcher boy.with a basket of various kinds of eatables caused the poor mother to weep for joy. And oui. little guide dod• bless her--thing-r--;--- but never mind what she did; She had a good sup per that night and plenty next day. And, as the ladies have taken the case in hand, we believe the poor family. will be plaeed beyond want. Royal Squabblert.—The Paris corresporident of the Courrier des Etats Unis writes that a good deal of fun is made, in the family of Louis Phillip a. bout a domestic quarrel between Prince Albert and Her -Eritanic Majesty. IVe translate the story, which, whether true or false, is a good one : HaiOng been invited to a fete, the husband of the Queen received permission to go-, with the in junction not to fail of returning by midnight to the conjugal domicile. But having, like Cendril. lon, suffered the fatal hour to pass. the prince found the doors of the apartment which he occupies with his august moiety closed iagaitist him. He called: no answer. He entreated: the samb silence. tin: ally, becoming iinpatient,•he returned to his carri age and drove to Claremont, where he went to bed and slept as well as any man could wish. On waking he sent for the Duke of Wellington, and said to him: Will your Grace do me the favor to see the Queen for me, and say to her that I take very little pleasure in her joking. She is Queen, I know, and in public I am only the first.of her subjects; but I claim to be King in my bed cham ber, and. if that is not to her taste, I shall take my leave for the continent." The old Duke, who had been charged with such missions' before, went to her Majesty with the message. She, terrified at the idea that a husband, so fondly cherished and so strictly tyrannized over, could escape from her,or. dered her coach and went to Claremont where the entente eardiale was re-established to the satis faction of all the world." Ftmale Courage.--A set vent girl of Lisle, re markable for her fearless disposition, laid a wa. get. that she would go into a charnel house at mid night with a light, and bring from thence a dead man's scull. Accordingly, at the appointed time, elle Went, but the. person with whom she made the bet had gone before, and hid himself' in the place. When he heard her deicend and take, up the skull, he called out in a hollow'dismal voice, "Leave me my head!" The girl, instead of displaying symp toms of horror or fright, very coolly laid it down, and said, " Well, there it is then," and took up an. other; upon which the voice repeated, " Leave me my head !" But the heroic girl observing it was the same voice that had- called bofore, anewered in her own country dialect,"Nae,nae friend, ye canna ha' twa heads ! . .
