John Younoman, Esq., in llio last "Sunbury Gazette," gives tho annexed jocularly descriptivo synopsis of tho per sonal appearance, peculiar features, on I unique qualities of tlio various gentlemen composing tho lato Editorial (Danville) Convention. Wo commend tho article, to, 'tho attention of rur readers, as worthy of careful perusal. Our friend l'oungman, ' 1 has Leon fortuna'.o and tolerably correct, in personating tho rcspcotivo members of "the Art preservative of all Arts," and notwithstanding ho 'has dealt out some " sharp shots," all must acknowledge their general truthfulness ; Sf Wo have received from Mr. Cox, Daguerroan at Danville, a copy, taken on pajicr, of tho original ambrotypa of tho 1 ' , .. ii." 1. 1.. t.'.i:. ! n... mcinucrs aiiuuuiug inn l.itu ouiiuiioi -uuu-' volition. Tho picturo is a group of cigh ' teen, aud gives a very correct idoa of thtir appearance With two or tnrco exceptions tho likenesses arc very striking. Tho largo gentleman sitting in tho centre of tho front lino, with a benevolent smile upon his countenance, is Col. Tate. From tho ex pression of his faco wo would suppose that the Colonel felt quito at caso. Tho amturo little man to tho ri-jht, with the white neck cloth and ministerial look, is Weaver from Dloomsburg. Tho artist has put out one of his eyes, making him look as if he was "going ono oyo on it." Tho stout, bluff, independent looking gentleman to tho right of Weaver, is Painter, from Miincy. IIo is tho Daniel Lambert of tho party, weigh ing, wo should judge, over 200 pounds. In tho picturo Oeorgo appears to be in ono of his "brown studies." His mouth is very firmly compressed, as if ho had formed some solemn determination, and was going to carry it out. Generally, ho don't any much, Lut thinks a great deal. To tho left of Tato sits Baker, from Jersey Shoro who was principally distinguished in the Convention lor his moustache at d fancy stockings. Ho is a good looking fellow, ai.d appears to know it. Dr. I'ulcston sits on the left of liakcr, a tall, delicate, Irndsomo ynting man, dressed with great neatness, His suit ot spotless white has given him rather a ghost-like appoaranco in tho picture. Dr. John, tho go-ahcud oditor of tho Columbia Kcpubliean, occu pies tho left end of the settee. His physi ognomy indicates an aelive, vigorous tem perament. He figured in tho Convention as ono of tho talkers. To tho extreme left is located Air. Edwards, a modest, little Welshman, from Pottsville. Tho thin faced gentleman, with tho heavy moustache and imperial, on tho right of the rear line, is Frick, of the Miltoniau. Joke is quiet in Convention, but very talkative and agreeable when ho has two or tlirco friends arcund him. Next stands Price, from Mincrsvillo, whom tho artist has given somewhat the appearance of Ccn. Jackson. He is much a better looking man out of tho picturo than in it. Jones, from Jersey Shore, tho smallest man (in stature) in the Convention, stioks his head upfront behind tho shoulders of Price on the ono side and lirowcr on tho other. IIo is apparently standing on his tip toes, trying to look over. A very boy in appearance, his pre soiico among his brother editors his been oddly compared to " an old lip among a parcel of half dollars, Urower, of the ".Montour American," stands next a stout man, of medium height, carclcts iu his dress, but careful iu conducting his paper. As to looks, it is thought that he would bo entitled to tho " kuilo." The portly man behind lirowcr, with his head cooked to ono sido as if ho w s looking out for an item, is Miner, from Wilkesbarro. Ho is ;nitl t.n lit. n vorv snrtinliln mid nirrnpnliln 1 man ho is certainly a food looking one. Wo canuot say as much for tho looks of tho gentleman on his right, Chichester, a reporter from Philadelphia. Wo would, however, tako him for an intelligent man, as ho is deeply red R itich, of M.iueh Chunk, who aspired tu bo tho "funny man" of the Convention, stands uct, aud looking over his shouldor, with a slight stoop, we seo Worden, of the "I.ewisburg Gbrimiclo'' whom the artist has nude, in truth, a thorough Black Republican. The want of light did it, friend Wordcu. Black Re publicanism, Generally, may bo attributed to that cause. The indistinct faeo,appi- 1 reutly about ton feet from the gioup, wo ! rccosrnizo as belonjini' to Davis, of tho T , ... , , i "Montgomery Ledger." His wife would i ,ia dly know :, h ther d , k. ing, but tho Sun didn't do him justice. Mr. Irwin, of Berwick, tall, reserved and dignified, occupies the right flank. Ho would make a capital grenadier. Another faco finisho i the group. Tho individual lo who'ii it belongs has been noticed thus by tbo Mauch Chunk 'Gazetto' "Youngman 1 of tho Sunbury Gazette Is about 25 years of ace, edits a good paper, and is a sociable, though quietly disposed follow." Our neighbor, Masscr, is not included in tho gtoup, as ho went out of tho room previous to its being taken. ISS' Mr. Ilazlchurst, of Philadelphia, tho National Nnnw-Nothing candidate for Governor, is now engaged iu holding meet ings iu tho western part of tho State. IIo is as much opposed to Wiltnot nnd his ab olition party, as ho is to Packer and Demo cracy. Ho declares himself oppoaod to any fusion, and adheres to hisN. N. party firmly.

These seek their pillows, and rest from ihoir labor. ' Nature's sweet restorer, balmy ileep" steeps their senses in utter forgctfulness, and prepares them for the toil that awaits them witli the rising sun. To tho contem plative mind, night is the timo for reflec tion. Iu tho stillness of darkness, the thoughts, freed from tho distracting cares of tho day, wander through tho immensity of spaco, and at last fix themselves upon tho Author of all things. In imagination wo are carried back to the scenes of child hood. Wo remember tho gentlo teachings of a loved mother and the eludings of a revered father. Tho companions of our youth and the friends of riper years. We remember the joys and sorrows j tho hopes and fears which assailed us in cur struggle forseholastio honors. How vividly nre past events bruujit to mind. They aro engraven upon the heart never to lo forgotten. May we htpe that each new tiial may find us stronger than tho last, that every disap pointment will bo an incentive to nobler exertions and higher aims. May wo glean knowledge for the future fro.n our past experience. Hut during our reveries the hours have flitted past, aud tho noon of night is upon us. Let us, before wo seek rcposo nnd wander in tho land of dreams, consider for a few brief moments, tho long dark night of iho gravo. Man's life is but a day. In infancy, he resembles tho mild beams of tho early dawn. In manhood, his genius flashes, with the vigor of the noonday sun. Fur a few years, ho exults in the prido of his strongth, 13ut .13 tho sun descends the western sky, so man sinks to his grave. No longer docs tho roso bloom upon his cheek, nor iho iiro of youth flash from his eyo, his limbs have lost'thcir elasticity, his voice, its music, and as the last lingering rays of the sun aro shod over tho earth, and tho shades of niht deepen, man is hid from our view eeath tho cold clods of the valley.

As tho sunrriscs in tho morning, so shall man riso from his grave on that great day of tho coming of Christ. A morn, surnass- i ng iu splendor anything tho mind can imagine, will burst urst upon him, giving tokens in- day.

If our recollec tion servos us right, it is about 00 yoars since a Governor of this Stato signed tho death warrant of a woman, and thcro will probably novcr bo another, About four years ago, we had occasion to cxamino tho official papers of tho State relating to this matter, nnd from them wo gleaned tho foregoing facts.
