Mr Sansom moved to'amend as follows: That a committee of one from each Sen atorial district of the Stale, to be selected by the respective delegations, l>e appointed to prepare resolutions expressive ol the sense of the Convention. ♦ The amendment and the original motion -was discussed at some length by Messrs Johnson, Sansom l.amberton, Giliis, Tate. Wharton, Baer and Whallon, when Mr. Whallon moved to amend the amend ment by striking out the amendment of Mr. Sansom, and the word 'fifteen" in the orig. iual motion, and insert in lieu thereof, the ■word "thirty three," making the motion then read : "That a Committee of thirty three be ap pointed by the Chairto draft resolutions and a platform expressive of trie sense of the "Convention."

The question recurring on the original motion to appoint a committee of fifteen, it was agreed to. Mr. Gills submitted the following : Resolved, That all resolutions offered at this Convention be submitted to the Com mittee or. Resolutions without debute. Mr Johnson opposed tho resolution, and moved to postpone its further consideration indefinitely. Messrs. Johnson, Hopkins and Gillis de bated the motion, when Mr. Lamberton suggested a modification eo as to iuclude all resolutions offered pre vious to the report of the Committee on Resolutions, which was accepted by Mr. Gillis. I'he motion to postpone indefinitely was then disagreed to: and the original resolu tion as modified, was adopted Mr. Vansant moved that when the Con vention adjourn, it adjourn to meet this af ternoon at 3 o'clock, which was agreed to On motion the Convention adjourned.

Mr lit' , k " a,e 6 left the Hall in search of I R EVENING SESSION. The lollowing is an abstract o r the reso htt.ons:—The first resolution sustains Presi dent Buchanan's Administration. The second question with Great Britain, Kansas, Utah &c. The third advoca'es incidental protection to the iion and coal interests, and holds the present tariff to be inefficient. Ilnlsorecom mends the views as advanced on the sub ject of the trariff by the President in his message. The fourth defends the Paraguay expe dition. Tho fifth advocates the annexation of Cuba.

The tenth approves of Senator Bigler's course in Congress. The eleventh opposes the granting af cor porate privileges, and holds that 'tidividual capital should be encouraged. The resolutions was read separately and adopted. r ._ air. L.amoerton offered a resolution hp proving of the State policy of Gov. Packer, the fearless exercise ef the veto power, and his administration of the affairs of the com monwealth. particularly of the exemption laws, us worthy of commanding commenda tion. Mr. l.amberton supported the reso ; lution in a powerful speech. Mr. Monaghan. of Chester, spoke against the resolution, charging Gov Packer with dishone-ty in his public acts, by the transfer and sale of the Delaware Division, and oth j er canals of the Slate, j Messrs. Jenks and Hopkins supported I the resolution. Mr Johnson denounced Governor Packer | in unmeasured terms. I The previous question was called by Sir. i Oil!is, and sustained. The resolution was j lost—ayes 37, nays 84. The Convention then proceeded to ballot : for a candidate for Auditor General, with ! the following result: Wright, 89 Zeigler 27 ; j Salisbury, 7; Hamlin, 8. j Richardson L. Wright was thereupon de j clared the choice of the Convention, j John Howe was re-nominated for Sur ! vevor General, by acclamation. | At a late hour in the evening the Con vention adjourned. Tinrljr Advice. The editor of the Medical Reformer remarks that as in the spring and early summer, the sensibilities of the digestive organs are in creased, the full diet of winter will, if per sisted in, induce fever. This is by no means anew discovery. The ancients named the j month of February, when their spring be j gan, from jtbrum a fever, and wisely reconi | mended, as a preparative for the heats of ] summer, judicious exercise, light diet, and | the full and free use of water. | Professor Holloway, the distinguished j English praclioner, has done something | more than this. He has discovered and in | troduced two remedies for all the derange* I ments incident lo a change of temperature, I which have saved the lives of thousands ol utiacclimated travellers and sojourrers in I every region between the equator and the poles. When a sudden transition from cold to heat produces dyspepsia,liver complaint, | fever, diarrhcea or dysentery, Hotloway's Pills seem to subdue the disturbance in the system at once, and to bring all its functions into harmony with the new atmospheric in fluences by which it is surrounded. Where the shock occasioned by the change affects the skin or glands the Ointment, in combi nation with the Pills, soon puts the exter nal organization into a healthy condition. Under these circumstances, common pru dence suggests the propriety of having both i remedies always at hand at the commence ment of the summer, and of providing a supply of them before starting on a journey or voyage. In this climate, summer and autumn are, unquestionably, the seasons most prejudicial to health, and therefore nothing should be left undone that will have the effect of fortifying and bracing ap the system, purifying blood, and putting the di gestive apparatus in good working order.— So far as onr observation goes, HOI.LOWAV'S Pilis will infallibly secure these results. Families who have habitually used them for years as a Spring. Summer and Full medi cine, declare that a complete exemption from the complaints usual at those seasons has been the invariable consequence of their exhibition. This we can readily believe, knowing us we do, that they exercise a triple influence upon the internal organs. They purify the fluids, remove obstructions, and invigorate the digestive powers. There are few system so healthy as not lo require such helps to Nature at this critical period of the year, and it is therefore obvious that a course of HOLLWA V's Pills is proper, as a protec tive measure.— Boston Journal. RE-UNION or THE BEECHES FAMILY.—The family of the Itev. Dr. Lyman Beecher,-re siding in the different parts of the country, came together during {.he early part of this week, at the house of the ReV-Henry Ward Beecher, in Brooklyn, for a family .'eu.iion and visit to their father, who has now reach ed the eighty-fourth year of his age. All the children were present except James, who is now In China, engaged as chaplin to the seamen at Honkong.

BLOOMSBL'KQ, WEDNESDAY, MARUII 11, ISA - Democratic Nomination. FOR AUDITOR GENERAL RIIHAIiDSON L. BRIGHT, OF PHILADELPHIA. FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL, JOHN HOW 15, OF FRANKLIN COUNTV. lIOW GOES PENNSYLVANIA? After the storm and battle of the last po litical campaign has passed by; after the political heavens have cleared ; arid now thut the passions of men ar# fairly at rest, let ns, as Democrats, survey our position. Congress lias adjourned. It lias ceased to exist; and now, in the lull, before the new champions of the various interests of our great Union meet in battle array at Wash ington, let us see where we stand. How does Pennsylvania stand with reference to the National Administration? It was sneer ingly shouted last fall by the opponents of Democracy and of the people, that Penn sylvania was lost —lost to the Democratic parly—that she had gone over to the inter eat OF |IIA MNNITTIL PNU-NR—LLIAT IHO IN NET? C 8 had bowed down to Mammon—that the people were prostrate, and that Monopoly, the great god of the capitalist, was triumph ant. But how is it now? The Democracy of Pennsylvania have lately sent representa tives from every district to a convention called lor the purpose ot selecting standard bearers for the coming campaign, and to express their views on the great questions of the day. It was attempted by fonl heart ed traitors to the parly which gave them po litical being and political influence, to per vert the doings of this Convention—to have 't ignore and repudiate the principles which have always influenced, and in fact been the essence of the party. But the people as they always have done—never later than at second thought—sternly rehulfed these traitors, and have proved true to themselves. A recreant Governor, backed by a crowd of recreant office holders, and they again sup ported by a host of recreant Democrats, (Heaven save the mark!) were told almost in terms, that the people not only could, but would, 110 without their councils; and next fall will witness such a wiping out, such a complete annihilation of traitors as was never witnessed before, and which we hope occasion may never call for again. The late Democratic Convention has again proved the truth of the adage that the sober second thought of the people is alwavs right. Local causes produced many of the results last fall which were vain gloriously attributed by the opposition to degeneracy of the people. The people have now right ed themselves. State Couvcntion. In to day's paper will be found a synop sis of the proceedings of the Democratic State Convention which convened at Har risburg on the 16th inst. Resolutions en dorsing the National Administration were adopted. The resolutions were all adopted by the convention separately, and all unnni mous'y with one or two exceptions. After the whole "report" was adopted, Mr R A. Lamberton offered the following resolution in addition : Resolved That we approve the State poli cy of Governor William F. Packer His just exercise of the veto power has been tearless and democratic, and his adminis tration of the affairs of our Commonwealth and the execution of the laws commands our commendation. This resolution it appears would not go round, and created quite a good deal of dis cussion, when finally the yeavand nays were called by Mr. John B. Beck, and resulted in the rejection of the resolution. They stood 84 to 37. (We did not notice particularly how our friend Tale voted, or whether he voted at all or not) Our space prevents us giving the proceedings in full with the reso lutions as adopted by this convention. We may publish the resolutions in our next. Among the opponents of the National ad ministration, we are sorry to find some Democratic leaders from the North and the South, whose names formerly gave hopes of a brighter future. LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW. —This very valuable quarterly publication has been re ceived from the publishers, LEONARD SCOTT & Co., 79 Fulton Street, New York, for Jan uary, laden with mutter from the ablest au thors. 7he contents are as follows : Aiticle 1. Lord Cornwßllis; 2. The works ol William Shakespeare; 3. Consular Service; 4. Pius VIII. and Gregoty XVI ; 5. Patents; 6 Lodg ing, Food and Dress of Soldiers; 7. Life and Writings of Johnson; 8. Bread; 9. Reform.— These subjects are all of an interesting nnd instructive character. The reading of one single article in this work is often times worth double the subscription price which is three dollars. There is always something useful and instructive to be found in these British publications that cannot be had in our American prints. GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK —We are in receipt of fhis most estimable publication for April, and after perusing its pages we hesitate not a moment in pronouncing it a perfect gem. It is emphatically the Ladies' Book, and every Lady upon Columbia's soil should place it on her table. YVe know that fhe Ladies cannot help but read it with more than ordinary interest, as it if both interest ing and instructive. Its embellishments are ol a superior caste ; and its illustrations of fashions are true to the prevailing styles.— The book is what it purports to be, a ladies' book. It is publishedby Lmiis A. Godey, Philadelphia, at $3 00 per annum for a single copy. We are enabled to club it with our paper at $3 80. This is cer tainly an inducement, for in no other way can the STAR and Godey's Lady's Book be had for so small a sum. Stale Somiuations. We place to-day at the head of our journal the Democratic State nominations as they were made at Harrisburg on the Jfith itist. For Auditor General we have MR. RICHARD SON 1.. W LIGHT, of Philadelphia, who closes his career as a State Senator from that city with the present session. For Surveyor Gen eral we have Ma. JOHN ROWK, ol Franklin. These are both worthy and upright men— men who come before the people with clean hands, and in whom the Democracy, as they have done heretofore, can place confidence. Mr. ROWK has acted in the capacity ol Sur veyor General for the last two years and a half, and has discharged his whole duty ably and faithfully. He has proved honest and upright in all his transactions, which is a great deal to say in these times. WRIGHT and ROWK form a strong ticket, of tried and approved party men—men who are Democrats not from a desire to bask in the sunshine of that success which with brief intervals has attended the party, since the organization of the Government, but be cause they believe the principles of the Democratic organization to be essential for the union of the States, the prosperity of each separate member of the Confederacy. These men accepted the nominations placed upon them from a conviction that bold, up right, fearless party action was necessary to meet the circumstances which surround the Democracy of Pennsylvania at this mo ment. The Convention at Harrisburg saw that Podnsylvarijla, old staunch Pennsylvania, was being abused and scandalized by the action of those who represented her De mocracy in other sections of the Union, while at the same time these men where plotting against the National Administration, and thus giving aid and comfort to the com mon enemy. These facts were notorious, and stared all true parly men in the face.— They demanded action Either the par y must be purified by repudiating the corrupt and dishonest schemers, or fall into their tracks, suffer an ignominious and deserved defeat at home, and forfeit that proud posi tion which the Democracy of the old Key stone have always occupied in the National Councils of the parly. When this idea was fairly presented to the Democracy, there was no hesitancy as to the course necessary to be pursued There was scarcely a district which did not at once declare fnf the party and the Nation al Administration, and the proceedings of the Convention demonstrate with what sin gular unanimity Democratic sentiment was expressed from all sections ot the State.— There was no attempt on the part of the Na tional Democracy to revive decided issues. They did not seek to ostracise men who had differed with their political brothers within the lines of party fenlly and parly ac tion. They did not withhold the hand of fellowship from such as had contended with honest zeal before nominations, but fought the common enemy after. The party did not do this in the State Convention. But they did what was right and proper, what the De mocracy demanded should be done. They repudiated those men who acted with the common enemy, who spoke at Black Re publican mettings, and who used official position for corrupt and selfish purposes.— The democratic convention did these things, and in so doing represented most faithfully the wish and demand of the party in Dem ocratic Pennsylvania. THE LADIES' AMERICAN MAGAZINE for April is on our table. It is truly a rich and racy publication ; and a great deal of literary tal ent is evinced. Its fashion plates are of the first order, and exhibiting much taste and skill in their execution. It may be well said that this magazine is devoted to Literature, Fashion, Art, Romance, Amusement, and Instruction, as these subjects are all copi ously treated, and in such a manner as to be esteemed by all who peruse the work.— It is published by HENRY WHITE, New York. Price per aimum, Two dollars. LITTEU.' LIVING AGE. —This weekly pub lication, of more than ordinary interest, is becc -ig more and more valuable,as it be comes older, like maderia wine. The pub lication of a handsomely engraved portr.it in each number has added much to the ap pearance and interest of the work. A pic ture of some eminent man ot woman will, hereafter, appear in every number, accom panied with a biographical sketch of the person, which cannot but prove interesting and valuatde. Messrs. DELISSER & PROCTER, publishers, New York; price six dollars per annum. It is well worth it. ARREST OF AN ALLEGED BIGAMIST —High Constable Frankiin, of Philadelphia, arrest ed a German named Frederick Myers, alias "Reel," 011 a dispatch sent by Major Weav er, of Pittsburg, which charges him with having two wives, and with having stolen about $lOO from a gentleman of that city.— Frederick represented himself upon his ar rival, as a member of church, and has been active in religious affairs. He was lock ed up to await a requisition from the author ities of Allegheny county. An officer from Pittsburg passed through here yesterday, on his wy to Philadelphia. Myerc will be la ken back to Pittßburg, for trial. SPEAKING of the allurements to the City of Washington just now, the correspondent of the Times says: "There was never a finer time for the yonng ladies to come to Washington. So many officers in the army fresh from West point—young literary men —poets of the Evening Mirror type, and fil libusters, with revolvers in their belts, fire in their eye, and in their pockets titles to the silver brick lands of Arizona. Willard al lows but one lady to each table twenty feet long, and but one salt-seller, lest by her in advertence he should lose twenty boarders. A CARPENTER'S TEBTIMONV.—A worthy carpenter, the other day, in giving evidence in a case of fraud said that he plane-\y saw the defendant's object was to chisel the plain tiff out of his property, etc., and for hi( part he liked "fair play and-no gouging.'' That is what wo call giving evidence plump on the square." Indictment for IHurdcr. We clip the following from the Court pro ceedings of Schuylkill county, published in the Record and Emporium of last week. This case created considerable excitement in the neighborhood were it was tried: Commonwealth vs. Charles Rrutnm —The defendant was indicted lor the crime of murder. He was charged with having cru elly murdered a child a short time alter its birth, in the house of Mr Jeflriee, in Miners ville, several years ago. The defendant was a married man and had separated from his [ wife lor som? time—and the prosecution al ' leged that alter the defendant and his wife j had commenced living together again, his wife was delivered of a child, in the house of Mr. Jefferies, in Minersville, where they | were living nt the time, and that the defen . dant killed it in the presence of the wife, ! shortly after birth, concealing the ' dead body in the cess pool and subse -1 quently carrying it away and throwing it down one of the air shafts of the mines in ' the neighborhood. The prosecution alleged as a motive for the act, that the child hud been begotten whilst the defendant and his wife were living apart, and that it was the disgrace consequent thereon which induced the defendant to commit the act and remove the evidence of disgrace. The wife of the defendant who was divorced from him sub sequently, and married to another person, was the principal witness offered to prove the facts alleged by the prosecution, but the Court decided after a long argument, that the wife,though subsequently divorced,could not testify either for or against the husband. Mrs. JefTnes testifiiSTthat the defendant had confessed to her a few days afterwards that he had killed the child and removed it—but hertestimony wasnotonly entirely supported by other testimony or other circumstance,but was contradicted in the material points by other witnesses. After all the testimony for the prosecution had been given in, the counsel lor the Commonwealth stated that they could not ask lor a conviction under the evidence,as they had entirely failed to make out their case, and that the Jury should ren tier tt.eir verdict accordingly. The counsel for the defence, under the permission of the Court proceeded to show the motives which induced this prosecution to be brought—that Mrs. Jeffries, the real prosecutor, had fol lowed this defendant with feelings of the most rancorous hate, bringing charge after charge against him, that she had said she would drive him out ot the place, and mak ing use of many bitter expressions against him, which she denied having used when asked. The Jury after a charge from the Court detailing the evidence, returned a ver dict of no' guilty, without leaving the box. THE WAVERJ.EY NOVELS.— The well known firm of T. B. Peterson & Brothers, 305 Chest nut street, Philadelphia, are now engaged in publishing a remarkably eheap edition of these unapproachable works of fiction. The first, "Ivauhoe" appearing on Saturday of last week : the next, "Guy Mannering," will issue to-day, "Bob Roy," next, and so on, one novel will be published regularly on each and every coming Saturday, until the whole number of volumes—twenty-six —is completed. Til® low price fixed by the publishers for them are only 25 cents a vol ume or the whole twenty-six volumes for five dollars. A complete set will be forward ed, free of postage by mail, to any part of the United States,to any one, by the publishers, on receiving a remittance of five dollars for the twenty-six volumes; or a remittance of three dollars will pay for the first twelve volumes; or remittance of one dollar will pay for the first four volumes. The novels will be neatly printed, and each volume will contain about 125 pages, printed on fine white paper, and neatly bound with paper cover. The revised uniform Edinburg edi tion, from winch this is reprinted, comprises forty-eight volumes, the cost of which is seventy two dollars ; and this edition will con tain every word of the Edinburgh edition. We commend the determination of this en terprising Philadelphia firm, to furnish the works of an author like Walter Scott, at a price so reasonable, that all persons what ever may possess a fall set, and direct the especial attention of our readers to the fact, and would advise them all to make a remit tance of five dollars at once, per first mail, to the publishers, for the entire set, who will eettd them complete to any one, free of postage, on receipt of that sum. A YOUNG WOMAN SPLITS A VISITER'S HEAD WITH AN AXE. —It has been stated that a young man, named Sparks, was murdered in Newcastle, Botetourt county, Va., on the 18th instant, by a woman, named Polly Tucker. A correspondent of the Salem Register says:— "Young Sparks, who was partially intoxi cated, went to the house of a Miss Polly Tucker, and knocked at the door, desiring admittance, whichewas refused. He then went to the window and raised the sash and put his head through, and in a good humored way threatened to enter the house in that way. Miss Tucker, it seems, had an axe in her hand, and, threatened to strike him with it. He laughingly told her to strike away, which she did, with fatal effect striking him with the poll ot the axe immediately on the top of the head, infflict. ing a mortal wound. He lived about six hours, and died apparently without much pain. He did not speak after the blow was given. It was one of the most deliberate and cold-blooded murders ever perpetrated. The murderess has since asserted that she had the axe ready for two weeks, for that purpose, and that she committed the mur der cooly and deliberately. It has created an intense excitement in this community. He was the only child of his mother, who is utterly prostrated in consequence ol the murder of her son, and it is believed she cannot long survive the awful deed." EXTENSIVE SALE or SLAVES A lot of 436 slaves, belonging to Pierce Butler ol Phila delphia, formerly the husband of Mrs. Fan nay Kemble, was sold at auction in Savan i nah last week for the sum ot 8300,205, be ing an average of #716 a bead. They were sold, The Savannah News says, "most in families." Township Officers I We have gathered from the returns the | following names of the officer* elected in the several townships, of this county on last Friday, and give them publicity as a matter of local news. We will not vouch for the correctness ol these names, but hope they | are all right. j Bloom—Supervisors,Jno J. I'arkley Sam uel Shaffer, Eli Barton; Overseers of the Poor, Geo. W. Foster. John B.
