There may. perhaps,ba a few of:that sort of Demo

them. The Whigs are unusually quiet; ; and yet,
when' tbe time, comes, they will doubtless put forth
all their strength. They must be met by a corres

A large and highly respectable meeting of the
Democracy of Chester County was held in West
Chester; on the 27th ultimo,it which Gen. Grottos
Flaarstair, was chosen President; Masser) Err-
Ns and JouS M. 'KELTON, 'Esqrs. Vice Piesi
dents; and jamas Rossi and Jon:s E. Irsarmstr,
Esqrs. Secretaries. ' 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:,

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 !

Can any person point out in a Democratic press

'GOV. DORR.
The Legiilature of Nett Hantpshire,at its recent
session passed en act conferring upon 'ex-Gov
Dorr, of Rhode Island. the rights' and privileges
of a citizen of the former State. This is an act o
legislative bodies which can be passed only upon
an eminent occasion, and is a high testimonial cm
the respect entertained for the individual upon
whom citizenship is cohferred. The course adop
ted by the Whigs of Rhode Island toward Gov
Dorr although unjust end unmanly, is nut unusual
with that party, and is perfectly in harmony with
the constant endeavors of too many of them to
drive every one from the extreise of his rights, un
less rte is disposed to sunpurt their vi'elks The
Wowing ext'•act from the Providence Herald ex
presses the lively feelings which this act of New
HarnpShite has awakened among the friends of
Guy. Dorr:
We will not thank New Ilampehire fdr her
remembrance of the man we love and the prin
Ciples we venerate, for her conduct is above thanks.
The exalted motives by, which she is actuated,
working through generous deeds, are sure to
bring their own rewan.l-a higher anti richer re.
ward than the praises of grateful hearts. Her
generosity sprang from the hearts of her own
people. We hazard nothing iti saying that it
was unsolicited by Guy. Dori& any Of his friends
here. It sprang forth df itself, and represents its
source as water in the till represents the foun
tain from vi•hith it first gushes. All the better
and all the more welcome.it is for this; and we
know it finds a hearty welcome, and a hearty
thankfulness in the breast of every man in Rhode
Island who loves the great principles on which
our republic is based, and which have shone
so conspiciously in the life of Thomas Wilson
Dorr."
American Built Orean Eiteamrrs.—The Spanish

This' vessel was Wilt in this port for the Mexican
government; and was afterwards purchased M
Havana by the Spanish goverrinient. Her tonnage
is 750 tons; with 300 horse power engines., This
is one of the steamers about which so much was
said in the early pact of the War with Mexico.

years past, was reported by the' eaptain of the
watch as having come to the lock up the evening
before for proteetion—in.the mOrningshe ills:
charged, hut soon returned and regueited 'to be
committed for ten days, which was done!' She
She
had no home.
Now, might not this girl be" reclaimed ? She
only wants a chance, which will not be Shown
her under any of the systems that now prevail.
We shall refer to this matter frequently, in hopes
that some move , towards the project suggested
may be made by those who have influence and
The local editor of the. Post has,suggested the
_
propriety of securing Bracldock's Fields to erect a
Prisoner's. Friend Society" upon it The sug,:
gestion has been ,seconded by the eiditor `of-the
Telegraph, who gives the project his unqualified
commendation.
Such an organization _as the Post has suggested,
would do more to reform the evils of society, - than
all the bolts, bars, and stonewalls in the universe..
However counterfeit philanthropists may prate
about the virtue of reclaiming the fallen victim,
and endeavor to enable him ° to regain his lost
position in society, there ere few, ,very few indeed,
who are willing to lead off in the work of redemp
tion, and give the untortunate'a start in the world,
that they may gain their lost position. Laws are
enacted for the punishment of crime: no matter
what temptations are prompting the wretched to
commit a wrong, the act itself is looked at, but.
the cause of the twills not removed.
A penniless stranger May prompted by the very be
cravirig,s of nature to.fach a trifle to save himself,
perhaps, from starvation, the law takes hold of
him and hurries him away for a twelve-month
to a loathsome and disgraceful prison. If the
man be at all sensitive' or honorable, or has been
decently raised, so muCh - the worse, tor he then
feels more keenly his degradation, and the impos
sibility, of retrieving himself. • -
When his time' has: expired, he is shunned by
those who,:perhaps; fed at-his father's table, and is
looked on with a suspicious air, by even dishonest
men themselves.
If those poor wretchis who commit crimes from
compulsion, were taken rare of when they, had
paid tht kw• its debt, it would be the means of
retriving thousands, who for want of advice or
consolation, entirely abandon themselvei,. and ex
