The committee for that purpose made the fol lowing report Presidsnt---Rer. JANE C. 'WATSON. rice Presidents—Dr. F. E. VandendooL Samuel Durboraw, Esq., C. W. Hoffman, Dr. J. L. Hill and Hugh Denwiddie. Secretaries—Prof. C. A. Hay and Eamon W. Stable. Which report was adopted,and the officers named took their aeata. A committee of seven, on motion, were ap pointed to prepare business for the consideration of the Coniention, viz: Rev. Dr. Krauth, Rev. E. V. Gerhart, Edward Mc Pheilion, John Culp, Prof. M. L. Stoever, D. A. Buehler, and George agermin, Esq. During the absence of the committee, on mo tion of Prof. Hay, delegates from the several societies represented, reported some facts in re lation to their temperance operations during the year, which reports were ordered to be written out, and published, and are as follows : C. W. Hoffman made the following report of the state of the "Temperance Beneficial Society of Get tysburg," viz:— • The Temperance Beneficial Society of Get t)•sburg was organized January, 1844, with about 20 members. Temperance being the grand aim of the Society, the Beneficial system was incorporated as a secondary feature, with the view of giving greater efficiency to the orga nization. The results thus far have been of the moat cheering character, the good effects devel oping themselves in the reclamation of the inebriate and the moderate drinker, the enlist ment of the temperate in habit, both old and young, in favor of the temperance enterprise, and the extension of pecuniary relief tosick and disabled members and their families. The Society now numbers 83 members in good standing; 3 members were expelled during the past year for violations of the pledge, one of whom has been reinstated. During the year ending Jan. 15, 1848, the Society paid out to sick and disabled members $177 00; $l4 50 to the widow of a deceased brother; $lO 00 as a donation to the sufferers in Ireland, and $3O 00 for incidental expenses —leaving a balance in the Treasury of $1049 02. Im pressed with the conviction of the excellence of the Beneficial feature of our organization, we respectfully commend it to the attention of the friends of temperance throughout the county. E. W. Stable made the following report in relation to "Adams Division, Nu. 214,50ns of Temperance," viz : This Division was instituted by warrant or dispensation from the Grand Diiision of the State of Pennsylvania, dated January 15, 1847, and organized February let, following. It now numbers 145 members; which number is week ly increased by new accessions. There have been but few cases of violation of pledge first time—none second, nor third—so that there have been no final expulsions fur violation of pledge ; though one has been expelled for mis conduct, and another for non-payment of dues. The number of reformed drunkards in the Di vtsion is 37. The finances of the Division are in a sound and healthy condition, being ample to guarantee to individual members the benefits provided for them by the laws of the order. We also take pleasure in being able to state theta Section of the Cadets of Temperance has recently been established in this place, called "Day -Spring Section, No. 66." It is corn posed of boys between the age of 12 and 18 years; and already numbers over 30 members. Many (food results,•it is anticipated, will flow from this nnivernent in training the youth of our community, in the paths of sobriety and moral rectitude. John M. Brinkerhoff, from the "Mt. Pleasant Union Total Abstinense Society," made a brief verbal report of the state of that society. J. K. Plitt, front the "Pennsylvania College Society," submitted the following report: "The Temperance Society of Pennsylvania College," founded on the principles of Total Abstinence, was originally formed in the month of May, 1834 ; it continued in operation during a number of years. and succeeded in bringing almost all of the students then connected with the Institution, under the influence of the pledge. For several reasons, however, it was permitted to loin its organization. In the spring of 1847 it was revived, and is now in a flourishing con dition. Two regular meetings are held every session of The College, which are well attend ed, end are rendered interesting and profitable toy addresses from members of the Society— . membership embraces Professors, Ex-stu dente and students, and the number of signatures now appended to the pledge ie eighty-eight. Janes Mooitt, Esq., from the "Fairfield Te al Abstinence Society," submitted a brief ver bal report on the state of the cause within thu line of its operation. /mos C. Teciatssotv. from the "Hu nterstown Total Abstinence Society," made the follow ing report: "The liunteratown T. A• Society eras organ ised Per. 42, 1811—whole number of members 203. On motion of Rev. B. Keller, it was Resolved, That the Secretaries of the different Temperance societies of the County he respeet fully requested, in future, to furnish their dele gates to this Convention with succint reports of their operations during the year, with a view to their publication. D. A. Buehler, from the, committee on busi ness, reported the resolutions of the late State Temperance Convention, with sundry amend ments, as follows : Resolved, That notwithstanding the recent decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, we feel encouraged, by past successes and the righteousness of our cause, to prosecute the Temperance work with renewed vigor. Resolved, That all previous legislation upon the subject, and the decision of the Supreme Court on the voting law, serve to convince us that the evil against which we have enlisted demands the same kind of legislation which has been pursued in regard to borse-racing, gambling, profanity, and other immoralities. Resolved, That nothing short of a law entire ly prohibiting, tinder severe penalties, the traffic in liquors as a beverage, can ever be an effectu al remedy for the evils of Intemperance. Resolved, That the movements of the great temperance army ought hereafter to be charac terized by an unflinching determination to en force the existing laws, to petition the Legis lature, and not to cease petitioning until entire and absolute prohibition of the traffic in intox icaing beverages shall be inscribed upon the statute books of this Commonwealth. Resolved, That if the legislature decide a gainst the giving the people a prohibitory law, we ask at their hands a large increase of the rates of tavern licenses: the prohibition of the sale of "vinous, spirituous or other strong drinks," by any other persons than regularly licensed tavern keepers, and such a modifica tion of existing laws regulating the traffic, as will give, in all cases of conviction, one half the penalty to the person com mencing the prosecution, together with such further modification of existing license laws as shall require that the certificates in favor of pe tioners for license be sworn or affirmed to, and that no one individual be permitted to certify to more than one petition. Resolved that this Convention do most ear nestly recommend to all Temperance men the necessity of unceasing vigilance and action for advancing this great moral reform. Resolved. That one of the most effectual warns of promoting the temperance reformation is for temperance men to give their aid and sup port to Temperance Inns and Taverns and Tem perance Stores, and this Convention recommend to all friends of the cause, to use theiringuenee to get up and support, In every community, good Temperance Houses for the eatertainnimit of travellers and strangers. The resolutions wore taken up slid discussed for some time, when the Convention adjourned to -it o'clock. • • Convention resinembled sat rosumedithis eon• nidemtden of the cupola of the eounniuse on be- After I full discussion of the'several resolutions, they were adopted ail the settee of the Convention. On motion, the following muddtiOns were unanimously adopted: Resolved. That Temperate habits are an es • sential requisite, and Temperance principles a strong recommendation In candidates for office. Resolved, That this Convention enters ha protest against the practice of "treating" by candidates for office, as unnoeessary and fraught with unmixed evil to the community, and re commend to the friends of Temperance to with hold their support from such as countenance the practice. Resolved, That it he recommended to the friends of Temperance in the several districts of the county, to adopt immediate measures fur thorough and efficient organizations, and that the Executive Committo appointed by this Con vention be charged with the duty of seeing that such organizations are effected. Mr. V. L. Conrad offered the following which was adopted : Resolved, That notwithstanding we believe that state legislation can, with prohibition and penalties, restrict the traffic to a great extant; lot it is onr firm conviction, the evil can never be entirely removed until the national govern ment shall impose prohibitory duties upon all 'inputs of foreign liquors. On motion of C. W. Hoffman, it was Resolved, That a Committee of Five be ap- pointed to memorialize the Courts of Adams County upon the subject of licensing houses for the sale of intoxicating liquors. Committee—C. W. Hoffman, E. W. Stahle, D. A. Buehler, D. M'Conaughy, and A. R. Ste venson. On motion, the Secretaries were instructed to transmit authenticated copies of so much of the Resolutions of the Convention as relates to Legislative action, to tho members of the State Legislature from this district, vvith a request that they be laid before their respective bodies. On motion, the following gentlemen were constituted an Executive Committee to super- intend Temperance operations in the County during the ensuing year, viz : D. M'Conaughy, D. A. Buehler, Robert W- Ilhenny, Aaron Watson, James Moore, John Neely, ArmstrongTaughinbaugh, E. W. Stahlo and James M'Allister. On motion, it was Resoved, That the Convention adjourn to meet in the Presbyterian Church, on the 22d of February 1849, and that the President be re quested to deliver the usual Annual Address.— The Convention then closed with prayer by Rev. Prof. Jacobs. [ Signed by the officers.] COMMUNICATED BIRTH-DAY CELEBRATION. With a view to celebrate in a becoming manner the anniversary of the Birth of GEORGE WASHINGTON, the Young Men of the borough of Gettysburg assembled at the house of Mr. lisavv D. Warmes, on Tuesday night, for the purpose of parta king of a Supper prepared for the occa sion. At the appointed hour the company repaired to the saloon, where a sumptuous repast awaited their attention.

College was celebrated, on the 18th inst., in Christ's Church, Gettysburg, and, as usual, came off in fly ing colors.. The gloomy anticipations of some of the warmest friends of the association, who were acquainted with the peculiar disadvantages under which the speakers had been called to the rostrum, were agreeably dispelled ; and, instead, as was pre dicted, of listening to a "slim" performance, the audience received a treat, such as the Philos are wont to afford. lam sure, Mr. Editor, that I ex press the opinion of all unprejudiced hearers, in saying that the performance was a highly credi table one, affording a sumptuous feast of fat things, both for the head and for the heart. Philoinn need not yet strike her colors. The honor of that ban ner, beneath whose bewitching influence, her mem bers, on reason's battle-ground, have so often ral lied, fought and conquered, remains still unsullied. Her name "so pleasing to her friends, so terrible to her enemies," is yet untarnished. And her standard-bearers, on the present occasion, have fully demonstrated that she contains within herself talent and ability sufficient to sustain her fair rep utation, at a moment's warning. We will notice the Speakers as they presented themselves, consecutively, on the stage. Mr. P. Boas, of Money, Ps., first occupied the attention of his intensely interested audience on the "Tri umphs of Mind," most triumphantly. For profun dity of thought, elegance of diction, sublimity of comprehension, and terseness of style, Mr. 11. is deservedly ranked among the first; though his manner is somewast objectionable. His imagery was apt; his figures forcible; his examples for elu cidation appropriate ; and a perspicuity ran through the whole of his speech, which at once showed that be was master of his subject. Every word had weight; every sentence expressed a meaning. No effort at display ; no grasping after what he could not reach, were found in his production— But in hisown happy, strait-forward, unassuming manner, he addressed himself to his 'subject, con ducting his audience now to the fissures of the VOLUNTEER TOASTS [ COMNEUNICATZO rocks—then to the clon,is of heaven ; now to the sublimities of Nature—then to the beauties of Art; now with an eagle's eye garing at the sun—then with a telenopic glance scanning . the brilliant orb,. that roll in space; now referring , to the sublime, the ravishing, the sweet, the pathetic sirloins of The blind old herd of Scio's rocky isle" and Mantua's favorite son—then appealing to the impasdonate, enthusiastic, unrivalled eloquence of Mars Hill and the Capitol ; now citing the bold. the energetic, the overwhelming strains of Ilanon and Mot •rr —then referring to the mild, melan choly, embduing notes of B ItSTIIO It I: ; where, in every instance, the “Trinniplis of Mind" stood forth, in hold relief. But the victory of mind has not yet been obtained. The horizon of man's intol lect has not been, and cannot be defined. Earth is too small a theatre for its full developeinents.— For, after all it has done, or cols ; after it has explored nature and art, traversed science and lit erature, it can soar on tireless pinions to the !WV. enth heaven, and ascend to the subliinest scenes, of which, with all its powers, it cannot even form an adequate conception. There only, after thin mor tal coil, by which its powers are so often clogged, ia laid aside; where it shall see evens. it is seen; there will the mind fully triumph over those un• measured bights and unfathomable depths, for which its wings were plumed so oft in vain below. Mr. W. D. Moaner, of Lebanon, Pa , was the second speaker. His subject, "Confidence, the Mother of Orem Deeds," had not its legitimate ef fect upon himself. Hence the apparent confusion that had seized him for a moment. But it was only for a moment. For, after the first shock was over, he assumed his usual self possession, which was abundantly evinced by the spirit with which he entered into his subject. His style is sprightly ; his metaphors hold ; and the peculiar beauty of the the antithesis in his sentences, must have impressed every one of his healers. The examples by which his subject was illustrated were striking and in point. Neither LUTUAII, nor NAPOL/021, nor our own beloved WASHINGTON', would have ever ac camplisbed much for our race and world had they not confided in their own native ablitiec This oration will, no doubt, exert a happy influence on some of the timid Philos, whose strength has never been tried ; whose powers have been suffered to lie dormant; whose actual ability is not known even to themselves. Mr. A. W. LILLY appeared next on the stage. Though he had a subject as familiar "as house hold words," he nev,ertheless sustained thitinterest excited by his predecessors moatadmirably. "Na. poleon, it Waterloo," was most glowingly-depict ed. Though Much has been written, end much more said about this extraordinary roan; though every step in his derailing , career has been held up to the gaze and admiration of an astoniehed world ; though the--Mightiest intellects -have -- expended their gigantic powers torment a true exposition of his chatieter ; his Manly, remain*, notwith standing, and inexhaustible store for' &student. the statesman end the orator and Mr. L. fully demonstrated that, bowman trite asubject may be, if property treated, it will not hill 66 intend an audience. At times he became thrillingly elm quest. Beautifully did he exhibit the undaunted courage of this Prometheus of *either/04h ceM tory ; glowingly did •he portray . that • summing genius whose impress ars to be found At= Lap land to the •on Alpine rocks and Appall= summits ; ou the Rhine; plaint of the lend Of the Pharaohs, 'and amid the =owe of livasia.• Hot it was on the ever memdrable pleb:beef Walericoo where the combined fintesofEuropestocd arrayed against him, that this illustrious hero gate the mot brilliant exhibition of his true character.

A CERTIFICATE trom Mr. Ingerson of Lancaster, N. IL, a highly respectable citizen of that place, and Jailer of the coun ty of Coos : • I, George W. Ingerson, of Lancaster, hereby certify, that I have been troubled with the Asthma for about twenty years. Last November, when I began taking IV is. tar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, I had been unable to do anything for several months, and had not,except a very few nights, been able to rest in my bed. Almost as soon as I began to take it, I felt relieved, A few returns of the Asthma, which I have had in that time, were almost immediately removed by taking the Balsam. I rest well, and my health is, and has been for months, better than at any time previous for many years. I cheerfully recommend this medicine to all who are similarly af flicted. GEO. W. INGERSON.

SARSAPARILLA.—This celebrated root, so famous as a medicine for the cure of di seases of the blood, rheumatism, &c:, has of late acquired additional repute by an im portant discovery made in its preparation by the well known house of A. B. Sands & Co. of the city of New York, who have invented an apparatus fur the purpose of thoroughly extracting the virties of the plant. The inventors say of this ma chine, in connection with the preparation they produce by it, that the whole disco very is the result of years devoted to chemical experiments in testing various modes of preparation, enabling them to con centrdto in the most efficient form all the medical value of the true Sarsaparilla ; and they have at last accomplished this most desirable result by means of au entirely new, ingenious, and costly apparatus.— The process throughout is. governed by strictly chemical laws, so that the essential principles, or the prinrple on which the restorative virtue of the Sarsaparilla de ponds, is entirely preserved. !D For further particulars and conclusive tri- denee efits superior efficacy see Pamplilets,which may hr obtained of agents gratis.

Once she exclaimed, "The delightful views of a Saviour's love which I have enjoyed during the kit, few days, are worth the sufferings of a lifetime alitundred times over."

When ahe felt the cold and clammy hand of death laying hold on her; and her last decisive hour drew near, she faced the terrible enemy with the utmost composure, and with accents ejaculated, "Jesus can make a dying bed feel softer than downy pillows are ;" and after a short interval whispered, "Now, Lord Jesus, law ready ; I desire net to he im patient, butif it be agreeable to thy will, I say Lord Jesus come quickly." Thus did she, on the bosom ! of. her Redeemer, "breathe her life out sweetly there." Truly has the poet said : "How Meet the scene 'when Chriedions When holy souls Wine to test."
