In the Rrnnto of Ponnsylvauin, on Thurs day last, Hon. Wm. II. Welsh, of York, submitted resolutions of regret for the death of Dr. Kane, tlto intrepid Arclio naviga tor. Appropriate speeches wcro made by several Senators among the rest Hon. Gkorqk W. BitEWMi, whoso remarks were tho most beautiful mado on tho occasion. Mr. IhtKWER said : Mr. Si'Eicer : I have tho melancholly pleasure of attesting my approbation of the resolutions submitted for tho consideration of tho Senate. This touching and uiourn lul scene is no less creditable to tho mcm JoV""!ii.te body, than duo to tho cherish yi?S:.y of Jhat young hero, who so calmly sleeps in tho quiet of an honored , but untimely rave, I had not intended to ; -minglo thebrok -n accents of my voice wilh ,tho appropriate and eloquent testimonials Awakened by the national sorrow of this - hour, but I am unable to suppress the un 'i bidden emotions which spring to my lips : ' and indeed 1 feel untitling lo permit this worthy and gallant son of Pennsylvania, so young, so generous, and so heroic, to pass away from tho toils and picanurcs and lion ors of earth, into tho dark and .silent houfe of the dead, without a brief and humble expression of my gratitude for his services nd admiration for his genius. A whole nation, with heavy hearts and toar'ul eves is summoned, in sadness and silence, to the early and suggestive torub, of Elisha K. Kane. Hut we find a partial solace, even in tins soasonot crict, in the not unploas ing reflection that so little of all that mado his lifo distinguished and eventful, and that now makes his memory a chorished glory, can over lade rrom tho grateful ro collections of his bereaved countryraon, or perish from tho best and proudest records of the human race. His boyhood was marked by tho same impu'scs and aspira tions which wcro destined to adorn tho vi cissitudes of his life, and to distinguish tho signal achievements ot his wondorful career. IIo was not a warrior, and yet he conquered a most splendid heritage. His nodding plume never led a column into victorious battle, but ho blazed a hero in tho van guard of the world's grand inarch. If not mighty in arms if not invincible behind his shield ho girded his loins for a far nobler struggle, and won, upon tho vast field of science, civilization and humanity omo of tho proudest triumphs of a progres sive age. IIow appropriato to tho sublime heroism of his stirring and glorious life, tho truthful language of Milton, the great poet of Liberty and Christianity : Feace hath lta vietoriec, No leal renownodjh&n war." From tho altar of scicuco ho snatched his torch, and with its mild radiance illumi- I nstedtho frozen regions of untravclcd dark- ness--at tho sacred shrine of philanthropy, was kindled into power and enthusiasm the lofty purposes of his generous nature, and straight tho footsteps of civilization echoed along tho dreary shore of perpetual win!er, and tbo holy songs of a simplo, but touching worship, swelled into tho chorus of fa6urpassing music, among tho everlasting uunaui tuo ico-uouuu norm, ins novo tion to scicneo was beautified by tho genial touch of a puro and elevated sympathy and compassion. Tho proud trophy that recor ded his achievements in tho scientific world 4. was decorated with tho fair and unfading garland of a high and manly generosity. A gentle and plaintive voico swept across ?. tho tranquil waters or tho blue sea, and whispered to his listening car tho mournful ft etory of a widowed and abroken heart. In ' a fa country, a woman, lovely ami aocom- plished, sat in silent sorrow, amid tho I (brouded grandeur of palatial halls. That home, once bright, joyous and happy, was f vciceiesa now mat ueartu, llUKCU to tuo ; fondest associations of this carth,was now a -desert, and that heart, with all its hallowed . V memories, and all its springing hopes, was a ,k(ouching and go moun ful, thrilled every Jghord nnd animated every emotion of a ?JBanly bosom. Tho youthful hero fiscd his ' "6r Sai uPnn ,uo cola beams of tho Northern 6W,and bounded along tho path of danger and of glory. With a firm step and ihrobbing breast, ha moved away from tlto scenes of hia cliilclhootl from tho asso ciations of Ms youth from tho cndeirmonts of his home. Tho child of a marvellous destiny, ho strode away from tho fascina tions of affluence from tho charms of beau ty and of fashion from tho tasto and ele gance of a polished society, to enrich tho annals of tho world's wisdom, and to bring back health and beauty to tho faded check and joy and contentment to tho lonely and desolated home of Lady Franklin.

The tragedy of Nacogdoches and tho romantic incidents which led to tho Texan War of Independence and their parallel only in tho Roman history of Lucrctia and tho elder JJrutus. ' Juan Costa was a person of influence and bravery in tho wild forest, but ho fell under the displeasure of Kanta Anna, and his minion, l'edras, tlx command.lcnt of Nacogdoches, was sent to arrest him. Ho arrested tho father at tho supper table, attended by his only daughter, a young girl of surpassing beauty nud intelligence. He loaded him with chains, and cast him into prison, notwithstanding her tears and entreaties. Finally he proposed to freo the father if tho daughter would consent tosacril.ee her lnuoccueo and honor, olio rcicctcd tho infamous proposal wilh a blow iu the face. Tho armed ruffian swore a horrible oath to cxecuto his will on them both. With dark eyes, tearless fixed as those of a corpse, yet flashing a doublo portion of lumiiiuus fire slio mounted a horc and hurried away wild around the country. She halted at every house, no matter whether Mexican or American, and re hearsed, in tones of thrilling horror, her father s wrongs and her own. A 11 timid modesty, all weakness had van ished from her tongue, utterly consumed by the so orching thirst tor revenge. &he painted in passion's fiery language, and with awful minuteness, fact of the damn ing deed She bared her virgin bosom, and showed the lived marks of tho ravish- er's fingers among tho azuro veins along tho surlaco of snow, now so polluted au soiled, but before as puro as tho gleam of au angers wing. And still, wherever tho beautiful maid wandered, a dealening yell ot wrath and vengeance rose up against the tyrants, Tho people of both races and all classes now to arms, appointing a general rendez vous for tho 14th uf Juno, at the residence nf tho absent and now imprisoned Juan josta. It was thcro debated by tho peoplo the mode of attack, and who should bo their leader, but nothing was agreed upon, tho whole assemblage bado fair to break up in contusion when a tall and powcrtul built stranger, who had just entered Texas from tho States, came forward and addressed the multitude. "I am a stranger, but am also a man and 1 owe my lile, soul, body, health and happiness, all all to woman to my moth er : and if I turn a deaf ear to tho prayers of an innocent woman, asking my aid a- gainst a villain, may she am! my (jod curso mo .

"Wo will go I Death to the tyrants ! Freedom for Texas, and the giant shall bo ouricaucri" And then for tho firit timo was heard in tho laud of Texas, the namo destined to become and echo to tho pulsation of all hearts tee namo ot 1 nomas J, Husk. The next day ho led his raw recruits to the attack of Nacogdoches, and stormed every position against immense odds, after an assault of four hours, tho carnage being dreadful on both sides.

BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA, Inauguration of President Buchanan. HftxnlK rrtildcnt of Ihi United Haiti: HIS INAUGURAL ADDRESS. Washington, March ltb, 1857. A brighter day seldom dawned upon tho Federal city than this .1th of March, 1857, which was to witness tho retirement of Franklin Pierce and tho accession of James uuci,anan to tie Presidency of tho United . , , , . , .

E SCEXE I!i IR0SV op V CAPITOr,. There was probably never assembled in Washington sa vast a multitudo as that assembled in front of tho eastern portico of tho Capitol. Tho procession that escorted tho President and President elect had been admitted ; but all carriages and horses worn nxnlltdnd frnm tlirt nnelnanrn. TIia was a countless crowd of men. women and children, occupying every loot of space that afforded an opportunity of seeing tho eoremnny on tho portico. As for hearing tho address, that was a fivor only enioved by tho privileged few thousands that could gjthor closely around tho p irtioo. Ihero was a good deal of confusion nnd scufiliug in tho crowd, and many grow im patient, after waiting long hours, for the grand event of the doy. A very spicious puttorm was erected on tho portion, on which places wcro assigned for nil those who had been admitted to tho Senato Chamber. At last tho procession cmorrrod from tho Capitol door and appeared on tho platform. As tho tall figure of tho President elect, clad in that unions black suit, with tho tl.irty-one stars embroidered on its lining, became visible, there rose a deafen ing shout from tho vast human mass, It spread over tho wholo multitudo, and it was some timo beloro it could bo quieted. Tho President elect, with hat in hind, bowed repeatedly in acknowledgment of iuu irjjiuiiii uuciuioaitoiis. In the very front of tho platform was a seat to which tho president elect was con ducted. Inhis rear woro tho President and Committee of Arrangcmcnti : back of them wcro tho Chief Justico and Judges of tho Supremo Court, tho Vice President and tuo members ol tho Senate Then came tho Diplomatic Corp, en grand Untie, and then tho other persons who had been in the Senate Chamber. When quiet was restored after the accla mations that greeted tho President elect, ho proceeded, at about 1$ o'clock, to deliver his Inaugural Address as follows : THE XNAU (JURAL ADDRESS. Fellow Citizens : I appear before you this day to take tho solemn oath "that I will faithfully exceuto tho office of I'residcnt of tho United States, and will to tho best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend tho Constitution of tho United States." In entering upon this great office, I most hum bly invoke tho God of our Fathers for wis dom and firmness to cxecuto its high and responsible duties iu such a manner as to restore harmony and ancient friendship among tho people of tho several States, and to preserve our free institutions throughout many generations. Convinced that I owo my election to tho inherent lovo for tho Constitution and tho Union, which still an imates tho hearts of tho American peoplo, let us earnestly ask their powerful support in sustaining all just measures calculated to perpetuato theso, the richest political blessings which Heaven has ever bestowed upon any nation. Having determined not to becomo a candidalo for re-election, I shall have no motive to influence my con duct in administering the (iovernment, ex. cept tho dosiro, ably and faithfully to serve my country, ami to live in tho grateful memory of my countrymen. We havo re- ccntljr passed through a Presidential con- 1 tcrriho ovils which would result from dis in which tho passions of our fellow citizens 1 union to every portion of tho confederacy, wero excited to tho highest degree by ques- tions of deep and vital importance. Put when tho peoplo proclaimed their will, tho tempest at once subsided, and all was calm, Tho voice of tho majority, speaking in tho manner prescribed by the Constitution, was heard, and instant submission followed. Our own country could alono havo exhibited so grand and striking a spectacle ot tho capacity of man for self-government. instrumental, by ita example, in the exten What a happy conception, then, was it for sion of civil and religious liberty through Congress to apply this simplo rulo, " that ,out the world, tho will of the majority shall govern," ,to Next in iinportanco to tho maintenance the settlement of the question of domcstio 1 of the Constitution and the Union, is tho slavery in the territories. Congress is ' duty of preserving tho Government freo neither "to legislate slavery into any ter- from tho taint or oven tho suspicion of rilory, nor to excludo it therefrom," hut to j corruption.

A different opinion has arisen in regard to tho point of timo when tho peoplo of a territory shall decide tho nucstion for them- selves. This is hannilv a matter of but little practioal importance j besides, it is a 'judicial qucstiou,which legitimately belongs to tho Supremo Court of tho United States, iiofore whom it is now pending, nnd will, it is understood, bo speedily and finally settled. To their decision, in co nuion with all good citizens, I shall cheerfully submit, wkatcvor this may bo, though it has ever been my individual opinion that, undcrtho Nebraska-Kansas net, tho appropriate period will bo when tho number of actual resident in tho Territory shall justify tho formation of a constitution with a view to its admission as a Stato into tho Union.

No other question remains for adjustment, because all agrco that, under the constitution, slavery iu the States is beyond tho roach of any human power except that of tho respective States them selves wherein it exists. Way wo not, theo, l0P tlm "! 10.DS agiwuon on this subject 1" """.'"-""""a . tuui uu," K" graphical parties to which it has given birth so much dreaded by tho father of his country will speedily becomo extinct 1 Most happy will it be for the country when tho public mind shall bo diverted lrom this question to others ot more press ing and practical importance. Through out tho whole progress of this agitation, which has scarcely known any intermission for more than twenty years, whilst it has been productive of no positive good to any human being, it has been the prolific source of great evils to tho master, to tho slave, and to tho whole country. It has alienated and estranged tho peoplo of sister States from each other, and has even seriously endangered tho very existence of tho Union. Nor lias the danger yet entirely coased. Under our system there is a remedy for all mere political evils in tho sound sense and sober judgment of the people. Timo is a great corrective, l'olitieal subjects which but a lew years ago, excited and exasperated tho public mind, havo passed away and are now nearly forgotten. Put tlto question of doniestio Slavery is of far greater importanoe than ol any more poli tical question, because, should tho agitation continue, it may eventually endanger tho pcrsoual safety of a large portion of our countrymen whero tho institution exists. In that event no form of Government, however admirable in itself however pro ductive of material benefits, can compensate for tho loss of peace and domcstio security arouud tlio family altar. Let every Union loving man, therefore, oxcrt his best influ ence to suppress this agitation, which, since tho recent legislation of Oongross,is without any legitimate object. It is an evil omen of tho times that men havo undertaken to calculate tho mcro material valuo of the Union, lleasoned estimates havo been presented of the pecuniary profits and local advantages which would result to different States and sections from its disso lution and of tho comparative injuries which such an event would inflict on other States and sections. Even descending to this low and narrow view of tho mighty question, all such calculations aro at fault tho baro reterence to a single considera tion will bo conclusive on this point. Wo at present enjoy a freo trado throughout our extensive and expanding country sucli as tho world never witnessed. This trade is conducted on railroads and canals, on noblo rivers and arms of tho sea, which bind togctuer tho iSorth and tho bouth, tho East and tho West of our Confederacy. Annihilate this trade, arrest its free pro gress by the geographical lines of jealous and hostile States, and you destroy the prosperity and onward march of the wholo and every part, and involve all iu ono common ruin. Put such considerations. important as they aro in themselves, sink into insignificance, when wo reflect on tho , To tho North not more than to tho South to tho East not inoro than to the West, These I shall not attempt to portray, bo cause I feel an humble confidence, that tho kind Providcnco which inspired our fathers with wisdom to frame tho most perfect form of Government and Union ever desired by man, will not suffer it to perish, until it shall havo been peacefully a season, the substanco has departed for ever. Our present financial condition is with out a parallel in history. No nation has , over beforo been embarrassod from too large a Burplus in its treasury. This al- most necessarily gives birth to oxtravagant ' legislation.

That tho course of recent political action in tho American Union has clearly shown tho usefulness and uccessity of our party as a great conservative organization, able to resist and put down extreme and impracticable theories of government and social order to prcservo tho constitutional compact between tho States from loose and dangerous constructions, as well as open violations to hold iu check the passions of the country, when dirce'ed by lood ex citement or other cause against lundamen- tal points of our political system, and to presorve to ourselves and to those who como after us, tho rich and invaluable legaoy of irce aud well ordered institutions establiih cd by our lathers, 3d. That to the existence and cfhcienoy of our party adherence to tho rules and usages is essential, and that right reason and experience prove that without such adhorence, division, disaster and defeat are inevitable j all departures, therefore, from our party laws, in State or local ac tion, are to bo deprecated and resisted, as evidently fraught with elements of danger, injury, and eventual destruction, lth. That in behalf of tho Pennsylvania Democracy,in addition to the ro-aflirmation of our best principles and policy, wo an nounce as rules for our future action, tho limitation of publio expenditures, to mode rate and necessary outlays tho sparing and careful grants of corporate power tho enactment of laws in obedience to pub lie opinion, rather than in advance qr con tempt of it occasional and prudent amend. mcnts of tho Constitution as cxpcricnco may demonstrate them to bo necessary to the welfare aud protection of tho people the encouragement of virtue' and intelli gence as the supports of our political system the rigid accountability of publio servants and the cultivation of just aud amicablo relations with our sister States, without subserviency to tho passions or policy of any of them, but with a frank concessibn of tho constitutional and equal rights of each these are grounds upon which, as heretofore, wo purpoao to maintain tho character of our Commonwealth as a free, powerful and illustrious member of tho American Union. Dth. That we recommend to tho support of the people, tho candidates nominated by this Convention, as men of character and experience, well qualified for tho posts to which they havo been respectively named, in the full assurance that if elected thoy will discharge their official duties with fide lity and success.

S. Senate, the opposition to our party openly and shamelessly exhibited their lack ot high principles of honor, their contempt for tho known sentiment of tho people, and their utter disregard of tho character ot tho state, and together with tho thrco apostates from our own parly by t whoso aid the result was accomplished, should bo everywhere denounced by all men of virtue aud honor. Occupation. What a glorious thing it is for tho he man heart, Thoso who work hard seldom yield themselves entirely up to fancied or real sorrow. When grief sits down, folds its bands, and mournfully feeds upon its own tears, weaving tho dimsbodows that a littlo extortion might sweep away into a funeral pall, tho strong spirit is shorn of its might, aud sorrow bccoa.es our master. hen troubles llow upon you, dark and heavy, toil not with tho waves tfrcstle not with tho torrent I rather see if, by occupa tion, divert the dark waters that threaten to overwhelm you, into a thousand channels whfWi tho duties of lifo .always present, Beforo you dream of it those waters will fertilize tho present, and giv6borth to fresh n - . 1 ..... 1 1 -. 1.. r . uunuiB mat tuuv iiiuj uttgiutiu luu luiuru flowers that will becomo puro and holy, iiflbo sunshine which ponctratcs to tho path of duty, in spite of every obstacle.
