aj knock came to the outer door. Eugene
looked uncomfortable, but nodded to Catha
rine to open. A young man immediately
entered. He was tall, well dressed, and
strikingly handpome. Intellect was stamp
ed on every feature of his face. He was,
however,-ghastly pale; his cheeks were liv
id, -his eyes hollow and fiery. He came m
with -a poor-attempt at a strut, and sank in
an arm chair.
I;havo come without ceremony to break
fast with you,’ he said, with a terrible effort
at a laugh. , - -
* Eat,’ replied Eugene indolently, after a
languid shake of the head. He really liked
'his old school-fellow Gustave de Simooet,
but he rarely could muster more emotion
than he now showed. Gustave was four
years younger, and an artist, hard working
and full of talent; and they. met - rarely.—
But they both remembered-the friendly
days of school, and kept up their acquain
tance.
Gustave ate quietly and with evident cau
tion. He touched no wine, but drank a
large bowl of chocolate. As he made his
breakfast, his cheeks' flushed;- his eyes
lost their horrid glare, and when he threw
himself back in the chair, he seemed a
changed man. Seizing an instant when
, Catharine was -away in the kitchen, he ex
claimed, ‘ This is life first meal I have Jiat
en for three, days.*
VGustavel-you want togive me an indi
gestion,’cried Eugene, looking like a man
whohad seen a ghost.
«:■ '’lam-serious, 1 replied the young artist;
• and having been pretty nearly starved for
four months, have come to ask you to use
!your,influence:ttfget me a place of, say a
;-thousand francs a year.’
"■' Eugene heaved a deep sigh. He
■trouble before him.
■'■ '’Gould I not fend you a thousand francs?’
■ he said.
< ‘Eugene! 1 have not lived for four
; months on two sous worth of milk and two
Sous of bread for breakfast, and on six sous
of meatand bread fordmner,smce the Kev
■ olution-—I have not lain three days on my
divan starving, to come and borrow money.
I ask for work! I cannot just; now find ar
tistic work; let me get 8. place as copying
clerk. You have influential relations.’
• ‘My dear fellow, ! am a lazy dog, and
there is my hand. Reach me that writing
desk.- 1 will give you a letter totheCoun
tess de Montdely, which will serve your
• purpose; She has great weight—l forget
With which minister; and she is my cousin: i
I-have only seen her .once, because she
lives in the Foubourg St. Germain, and I
hate to go out ol my way. But she invites
: tee once a week, and my father reproaches
-me every month for not going. Some of i
these days-1 will.’
• Gustave, rather surprised at his long
'iSpeechy handed him pen, ink and paper.— ■*■
• ■Eugene took the affair m hand with intense
- energy, wrote off four pages m a short
time, and then sank back almost exhausted i
.in -his chair. Gustave thanked him warm- 1
!y* and without offering to read the note,
■ put it m an envelope, sealed it and addres
sed; it: Eugene then gave him one of his !
■ cards, and stating that this was her recep- 1
tion day, hurried him off that he raighti
breach before the general company. He
-further appointed to dine together at Very’s
*in the Palais-Royal at six. Gustave bor
: rowed five francs of his friend. With'this
he bought gloves, had his boots cleaned*
and hired a cab. At two o'clock he was
> before the superb hotel of the Countess de
‘ Montdely. '
■ He rang, and entering the large and
•Well paved court, inquired of a tall menial
if the countess were visible. The man hesi
tated, but rather civilly, as doubtful of ad
mitting a stranger at that hour; Gustave
-produced the card and the note. The do
. • mestic bowed, and showed the young man
up a splendid flight of stairs into a perfect
' gorgeous saloon. He then again bowed
respectfully; took the card and note and re'
• tired: l Scarcely ten minutes elapsed be.,
. lore Gustave, who was admiring a rich col
lection of pictures, was interrupted by the
■ quick entrance of a lady: He started in
voluntarily, and then bent profoundly to a
lovely young creature, blue eyed, fair-hair-:
jed,- and sparfclihg with animation. She
. Was not more than twenty. ;
Be seated, Monsieur, I pray you,’ she;
■ said, after a rapid glance at the artist, from
eyes in which Stood fresh started tears:—
‘my cousin is a most strange person. He
quite forgets the Revolution and the death
-of my husband. He writes as if my hus
band were alive, and enjoying the confi-j
dence of the late king. This is most an
noying. It is true that when my husband
■■ was alive—he has been dead two years—l
■ had some little influence, and could serve
my friends.’ ■
••• ‘ Madame,’ exclaimed Gustave rising,not
wholly unable todisguise his sorrow,‘l arn
•very 6orry,— —’ •
* Monsieur,’said the young widow a little
impatiently,‘are you aware of the contents
of this letter?’
‘Madame,! understood" it to be a note
recommending me to your notice for some
modest place.’ -- - - - .

Something ‘Wrong I
The Westmoreland Intelligencer, the old Whig
organ in Greenßburg, comes to us with tho names of
Gen. Winfield Bcorr lor President, and James C.
Jokes, of Tennessee, for Vice President, at the head
of its columns. There is evidently a .screw loose
aboat Greensburg t It is well known that Governor
Johkstok is making desperate efforts to have his
name associated with that of Gen. Scott in Penn*
sylvania, and that his todies throughout tho State
are obeying his mandates m relation thereto.—
Westmoreland Is the Governor’* native county, and
the fact that the Intelligencer prefers a Tennessee*
an for Vice President, is conclusive evidence of a
fUto-up in she whig-worn 1 We observe, also, that
the Hollldaysborg TPMghss up the name of some
Florida gentleman, as the Whig candidate for Vice
President. Tho American and ffVanserfpf of this
city, (the official organs of the State administration,)
are committed iq favor of Scott and JoHKsxoif,
while the Old Hunker gapers, the Journal sod Qa
sette, are quiet ou tho subject as “ dumb statues and
breatnless stones.”
Judge liowrle-
We have a private letter from a. friend in Carlisle
who states that Wh. Kerr and Wax. H. Mieleb,
Eeqe., have boon appointed delegates from Cumber*
land county, to the Judicial Convention at Hams,
burg, and that (hey are in favor of the nomination
of Judge Lowbie to the Sapreme Bench:
The Gettjfibargh Compiler (Adams county,) aaye:
. Judge Lowbxe* of Putsborgb, is strongly, recom
mended as a proper person to be placed upon the
Supreme Judicial Ticket, by the Democratic Slate
Convention. He is a gentleman of high character,
and has earned the reputation of an industrious and
able Judge. Allegheny has instructed for bun, sod
the indications are that the West will favor his
nomination with considerable unanimity.
The New Constitution of Ohio.
After a long and tedtoae session the Ohio Reform
Convention has adjourned. The provisions of the
new Constitution have been at length agreod upon
in Convention, and Ihn instrument is now ready fbr
submission to the people, who will finally dispose of
it. The Cincinnati Commercial gives tho following
abstract of the most important features of the docu«
moot. It places on the bench of the Supreme Court
five judges, who ore elected by the people— three of
those constituting a quorum, and three being requi*
cd to deliver a decision. Tho State is divided into
nine Common Pleas districts, of which Hamilton
county constitutes one, and these again are sub*di»
vided.<cxcept Hamilton county} for election purpo
ses; For each of these districts thcro are three
judges, also elected by the people. There is alio a
Probate Court established for each county, to which
marriage licences, &c., are transferred; and tho
judges, also elected by the people , and paid by costs.
Associated Judges are dispensed with altogether.—
The District Courts aro composed of the Common
Picas judges, and one ol the judges of tho Supreme
Court, who have original and appellate Jurisdiction.
In the Executive department the Convention have
provided a Lieutenant-Governor, who presides over
tho Senate, and, in case of tbe death or resignation
of tho Governor, assumes the duties of bis office ’till
tho vacancy is filled. The offices of Secretary of
Slate, Treasurer, Auditor, and Attorney-General,
are all made elective by the people— all holding their
offices for two years, except the Auditor, whose term
has been fixed at four years. Another important
feature ol the Constitution is tho adoption of bien*
mal sessions. In tho apportionment scheme, the
proposition of single districts (of which however a
great many wore in favor) was rejected, and a prin
ciple of self-adjusting apportionment adopted—coun
ty representation being the main feature in the re
port on this subject. Tho provisions in respect to
taxation are equally important—an exemption to a
certain extent has been made in favor of religious
and benevolent institutions, while capital invested
in baak-atock has been brought upon the taxed list—
the repeal of charters to corporations operating,
however, only prospectively. The Constitution was
adopted tn tho Convention by a majority of 79 yeas
to 13 nays. It now remains for the people to say
aye or nay before it becomes tho fundamental law
of the land.

Proceedings of Democratic County Convention.
Wednesday, March 5, 1851
Pursuant to the call of the Democratic County
Committee, the delegates from the several Wards,
boroughs and townships in the county of Lan.
caster, assembled at the public house of Wm, J.
Steele, in this city, when George S. Brush, Esq.,
of Manor, was unanimouslv elected President;
after which the Convention adjourned to the
Court House.

Samuel Brooks, Esq., Columbia.
Sebastian Mnsser, City.
Dr- E- Haldeman, West Hempfield.
Dr- H. Reamsnyder, Ephtata.
The following persons were elected Delegates
to the Reading Convention, on first ballot, viz :
Col- Wm. B. Fordney, James Patterson, Dr. S.
Parker, Hiram B. Swarr, Joseph H. Baker, Dr. N.
B Wolfe.
The following persons were elected Delegates
to the Judicial Convention, on first ballot, viz:
Dr, N- W. Sample, George Sanderson, David S.
Laird, Henry E. Lemen, John S. Daugherty, An
drew Leader.
The committee, through James L. Reynolds,
Esq-, their Chairman, submitted the following Ad.
dress and Resolutions:
That, while in common with every good Dem
ocrat of the coonty, the members of Hus conven
tion deplore tho unfortunate division which esists
in the party, they feel tho proud consciousness
that they and the very large majority of the Dem
ocrats of the county whom they represent, are
entirely guiltless of the least shadow of blame in
producing it. The course of our. County Com
mittee in resisting the vain, impotent and reckless
attempt against right and justice and the usages
of tbe party, to expel them summarily, ignomin
lously and without a hearing, from the position
which the party had assigned them, is warmly ap
proved of by this Convention. Hod thev patient
ly submitted to such flagrant injustice, they would
have betrayed the trust confided to them by the
Democracy of the county, nnd sanctioned a disor
ganization which must have resulted in conse
quences fatal to its integrity and strength. They
have fully vindicated their condnct in their two
addresses to the Democracy of the county, pub
lished on the 10th of October and 20th of Novem
ber last.
They have truly remarked that the question m
controversy lies within a nut-shell. The simple
question is-. Had tbe County Convention, which
assembled in September last, for the sole purpose
of deciding whether it was expedient to settle a
county ticket, and if so, to nominate tbe candi.
dates, tha power to expel the County Committee
from office? This Committee had been regularly
appointed for one year and at tbe proper time, bv
tbe County Convention held in April, 1850, for
tbe purpose of choosing delegates to the Williams
port Convention. Had then the September Con
vention a right to annul tins appointment made
for one year, at the end of five months, when it is
a notorious fact that so far from the people at
their delegate elections having considered the
questioo, or found fault with the Committee, such
a purpose had never been intimated in any quar
ter of the county until the day the Convention met.
The County Committee declare that they not only
had no notice of any such intention, but that the
first information they received of it, was after the
appointment of tbe Amweke Committee. Well
may they say that 11 this was an act of sheer wan
ton*outrage, performed with a full knowledge that
it must disorgamso the party, unless indeed they
•opposed your Committee would abandon and be
tray the power and the trust committed to them.”
This act cannot be defended upon any princi
ple known to Democracy. In order to apologize
for it -all, onr opponents are driven to clothe the
September Convention with the attributes of a
British Parliament, which British writers impi
ously declare to be omnipotent. To this princi
ple, to “The legal right to do moral wrong,” can
they alone resort to justify their conduct in this
Republican country. If onr own legislative bod
ies pas 9 any bill in violation, of the Constitution,
it is absolutely null and void. What is the first
great fundamental constitutional law of the Dem
ocratic party ? That the will of tbe majority,
when fairly expressed, shall govern. If agentß
appointed by this mojonty for a particular pur
pose, undertake to transcend the powers delegated
to them, and perform acts foreign to the purpose
of their appointment, and m relation to which the
people have not expressed their will, such acts
are unauthorized usurpations, are absolutely null
and void, and of no binding fores as regards their
constituents.
Every county in the. State has a deep interest
in tbe question. If it can be tolerated for a mo.
ment that a County Convention, elected by the
people for a single well-known purpose, and that
of no great importance, can transcend their au
thority, and by the managementof a few intrigu
ing politicians, to satisfy their selfish and ambi
tious desires, break down and destroy the most
important and best settled organic laws of the
party; then confusion and disorganization of the
party throughout the State, must be the conse.
qnence. Then, the Democratic maxim must, as
m this case, be reversed; and the will of the mi
nority, not that of the majority, must prevail.
We had fondly hoped: that this day would have
terminated the unhappy divmlon which now ex.
ists m our party. The door was thrown wide open
for this purpose. The Amwake Convention of
November laßt had expressly refused io appoint
delegates to the Judicial Convention. We were
repeatedly told, and the impression was universal
for some time, that our opponents would meet ub
at the delegate election on Saturday last, and were
rejoiced at the information. This they could have
done .with perfect consistency and without any
acknowledgment, expressed and implied, that
they were conscious of having done wrong. For
this purpose all the Amwake Committee had to

do was; instead of attempting to re-assembie their
November Convention on Wednesday last to ap
point delegates to the Judicial Convention, to no
tify-the Democrats of the county to meet oh Sate
nrday last at their usaal places of meeting, and
elect delegates to a County Convention, to be held
this day, for the purpose of choosing delegates to;
the Judicial Convention. It may be added , that
this would have been more Democratic, and would
have afforded a fairer opportunity for the expres
sion of, the:popular will, than to .assemble the
fragments of the defunct County Convention, and
rest them with the power of appointing delegates
to the Harrisburg Convention, a power which they
themselves bad previously declined to exercise, on
the ground that they did not legally possess it.—
Above all, it would have afforded the Detaocrats
of the county a fair opportunity of deciding the
question between the Fordney and Am wake or
ganizations’; and to the wiil of the majority we
should on onr.parthave cheerfully submitted.. We
have reason to believe our opponents intended to
meet us and try the relative strength of tbe two
divisions; but discovering, as the first of March
approached, that they were greatly in: the minori
ty, they shrank from the trial, and Mr. Arnwake,
in obedience to instructions from his committee,
issued a circular to the Democracy of the coun
ty, cautioning them against the call issued by the
Fordney Committee, and expressed the hope that
no trueUemocrat would take part in any proceed
ings under it, In but two or three districts did
they attend the meetings—and then not to repre
sent the townships, but to prevent an election.—
The best evidence that their apprehensions were
Well founded,consists in the fact that the number
of votes polled at their primary electious in No.
vember last did-not exceed 450, while our Votes
on Saturday last amounted to nearly 2000.
And now we have nothing but cheering pros
pects to present to you of the triumph of the
great Democratic patty of Pennsylvania. With
the exception of this county and two or three
others, the State presents one unbroken surface,
of pubjic opipiaa in fagor or Col. Wm. ißigler, of ;
Cieatfierifcounty, as the Democratic candidate for
Governor. After our defeat in IS4B, the eyes of
the masses were fixed intently upon him ; and it
is therefore impossible for intriguing politicians
again to defeat his nomination. He is already
nominated by an overwhelming majority in the
hearts of the people ; and all their representatives
at Reading will have todo, will be to register the
popular decree. And weil has he deserved this
high distinction. A poor boy, without powerful
friends or iuflucutial connections, he has made bis
own way in the world, and has kept steadily ad.
vancing in popular favor, until he has nttained his
present proud eminence. Of a mild and amiable
temper, combined with great force or character,
and strength of intellect, while always supporting
with marked ability every Democratic principle
and every Democratic measure, he has given no
personal offence either to his brother Democrats
or to his political opponents. He possesses the
good will of all, because he has employed persua
sioujiotdictation and force, in his intercourse with
his fellow men. He knows how to govern him
self—the first lesson to be learned by those who
would govern others. He has never slandered
honest Democrats, misrepresented their motives,
or depreciated their services. He has not selfish
ly sought to accomplish private ends at the ex
pense of the party; nor did he ever violate party
usages and party principles to either secure emp
ty 'compliments or to gratify private vengeance.—
He has never driven any man out of the Demo
cratic party by brow-beating, invective end de
nunciation ; but, substituting persuasion and con
viction for threats and abase, has in his extensive
intercourse with his fellow men, brought many
into it by reason and argument. He is the peo
ple’s friend, and the people are his friends.
We therefore submit the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the purity and. integrity of the
private and political character of Col. Wm. Big.
ler, preeminently qualify him to be the standard
bearer of the Democracy of Pennsylvania in the
approaching Gubernatorial contest—and hie ac
knowledged personal popularity, and the strong
hold he has on the affections of the people, render
bis triumphant election to the Chair of State a
foregone conclusion.
Resolved, Thatthis Convention representing a
large majority of the Democracy of Lancaster
county, whose wishes have been time and again
expressed, hereby nominate Col. WILLIAMBIG
LER, of Clearfield county, as our first choice for
Governor of the Commonwealth; and the Dele
gates this day appointed to the State Convention,
to be held in the city of Reading, on the 4th of
June next, are hereby instructed to vote for Col.
Bigler, anil use all honorable means to have him
nominated by the Convention.
Resolved, That our confidence in the patriotism,
talents, andslrict political integrity of our distin
guished fellow citizen; Hon. James Buchanan, re.
mains unimpaired. A long . life, of usefulness,
much of which has been devoted to the service of
his country at home and abroad, has given him a
strong hold on the affections of his neighbors and
acquaintances, and placed him on a proud emi
nence before ihe Democracy of the nation, who
ace anxiously awaiting the arrival of the'period
when they wiil.confer yet higher honors upon him.
In this work, when the proper time for action ar
rives, the Democracy of Lancaster county will
heartily and cheerfully, respond, and should be be
selected a 3 the standard bearer of the Democracy
of the Nation, the people amongst whom she has
resided for:the last forty years, will endorse his
nomination by a vote equal to that awarded the
great and illustrious Jadrson.
Resolved, That the Compromise Measures of the
last Congress; including the Fugitive Slave Law,
should all be observed and carried out In good
faith, and thus calm thei troubled waters of agita
tion and restore that confidence and fraternal feeli
ing between the several States of the Confederacy
which formerly existed,'and which never should
have been interrupted. The innumerable blessings
and advantages of this Union are; too sacred; and
were too dearly purchased, to; be frittered away by
designing; demagogues and traitors to their coun
try, and it behooves evjery good man, of every
party, to frown upon all attempts to alienate one
portion of the Republic from the.other, or weaken
the bonds which have heretofore united us as a
happy and prosperous nation.
Resolved, That there never has been a more pro
pitibus moment than the present for the employv
ment of argument and persuasion, the most effect
ive weapons of Democracy, to reduce the Whig

States has been destroyed; the Independent Treas
ury has been established; the tvar with Mexico
has resulted in glory to the nation, and the acqui
sition of a vast territory containing the golden
treasures of California ; .arid the Slave question l
which recently threatened! the dissolution of; our;
blessed Union, has been settled on the principles
set forth in the Resolutions adapted by the Demo
cratic party at tbe National Convention,-held in
Baltimore in 1840. From these Democratic Me
asures has resulted not the ruin predicted by our
Whig opponents, hut the unexampled prosperity
which the oat-on now enjoys*.
Rtsolvid, That we are in favor of selecting as
candidates for the Judiciary men .whose moral
characters are above reproach; who are known to
possess talents of a high order, and whose honesty
arid integrity as Jnrists will be a sufficient guar
antee that in their hands the rights, liberty and
property of the people will be safe. And as, from
the size, popnlation and importance of Lancaster
county, we deem her claims to one of the candi
dates to be entitled to proper consideration, We
respectfully recommend to the State Convention
our. esteemed fellow citizen, Hon. Ennis Lewis;
whose well known talents; energy and industry,
have very properly -placed him in the front rank
of Pennsylvania Jurists, and whose great popular
ity in Lancaster county and throughout the State
would strengthen the Judicial ticket, and insure
its election by a triumphant majority.
On motion, it was Raoleei, That the Delegates
elected this day to the Reading and Harrisburg
Conventions appoint substitutes, in the event of
any of their number not being able to attend.
Resolvtd, That the proceedings of this Conven
tion be published in the Democratic papers of this
county, the Democratic Union, Keystone, Pennsyl
vanian, Pittsburgh Post, Bedford Gazette, and snch
other papers in the State as think proper to do sal
The Address and Resolutions Were unanimously
adopted by the Convention.
Oh motion of Dr. B. Wolfe, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
Rciolved, That we heartily approve of. the course
of our fellow Democrats of the city of‘Lancaster
iin forming a “Bionxn Cnnn ’’—holdiog to the
Democratic doctrine that every man has an indis
putable right to express bis preference before a
nomination; and we recommend the formation of
similar “ Clubs” throughout the county.
After the regular proceedings Were gone through,
on motion of Dr. Levi Hull, a committee was ap
pointed to wait on the Hon. Jahes Buobasax,
who was understood to be in town, and request
him to address the Convention. Tbe following
gentlemen were appointed, viz: Dr." Levi Hull,
Col. Wm. S. Amweg, Dr. N. B. Wolfe, Isaac F.
Lightner and Adam Kendig.
In a short time the committee returned accom
panied by Mr. Buchanan, who addressed the Con
vention in his usual able and eloquent manner,
paying a high compliment to the talents, integrity
end unprecedented popularity of Cot. Williasi
Bioleh, and urging the Democracy of Lancaster
county to rally upon him as a candidate in all re
spects eminently worthy the high honor of being
the Gubernatorial standard bearer in the approach
ing campaign. He spoke also of onr glorious
Union, and the duty of every man to sustain the
Constitution, and laws; and also: alluded to the
Fugitive Slave Law as being constitutional, and
upon the faithful execution of which, in "tbe Free
States, might depend the perpetuity of the Union.
Mr. Buchanan’s speech was received with loud
and reiterated demonstrations of applause, and at
the conclusion three deafening cheers were given
for Buchanan and Bigler.
The Convention was also addressed in an ap
propriate manner by Newton Lighter, Esq., of this
city.
On motion, the thanks of the Convention were
tendered to the Hon. Jatbes Bachanan for his able
address, [Signed by ithe Officers.]
Severe at Carthaolena.—*We
learn that on the morning of 7th February, at half
paßts o’clock, the city of Carthagena was visited by
a heavy shock of an earthquake, which lasted nine
seconds. Had it lasted two or three seconds
longer, the whole* of the city would have been in
ruins. As it was, tbero was considerable damage
dono throughout the city, some two or three hou sea
being shaken down, and several lives lost. The
city watls and Cathedral suffered very much. -. The
