In the Senate Cominittees, , --for many years, the rule of senlibrif - lhaabeen strictly observed. /Oho lii6sent time, certain Po litical influences are endeavOritig - :to over slaugh,aMr. Douglas, tinct , preVent his alp pointment in such positions upon the Sen ate committees as he is entitled to by the customary - rules - of seniority. The unfair opposition to Mr. Douglas, unless :it shall cease, is like to create serious difficulties. The correspondent of the New York Herald states that Senator Yulee called upon Sen ator Douglas, and tendered bitn.the chair manship of the. Committee on Post Offices and Post Routes, of which Mr. Yuleo is him self chairman. Mr. Douglas - refused to ac• cept, declaring that no gentleman could do so over the head of Mr. Bigler, who stands secoUd2on the committee, and is entitled to the position by - parliauaentary courtesy and universal practice. Parallel .cases in the previous history of Congress are cited, all of which go to prove that the rule has hereto fore I. , .eeit considered inflexible. No case has ever occurred in the history of the Sen ate Where a chairman has been deposed for a political reason, from the chairmanship of -a Se.nate Comniittee, except in the case of Mr. Douglas: Even Mr. Hamlin, of Maine, afteti, his uPpOSition to the Kaneas-Nebraska was retained in his previous position :upon the Corhinittee on Commerce. Mr. Douglas deelares'he never can, and declares 'he never will go- back as a chairman of any .other Senate Committee; until he is reinsta ted as the Chairman of the Territorial Corn - mittee With which be commenced his career In the Senate. In the high, honorable and -manly ground which he has assumed on this question, he will be sustainedhy every true hearted Democratic man in the country. It is not for his opinions, brit because he is a Democratic Senator, that he claims this po , Sition. It must be conceded to him as his right, be permitted to degenerate into mere political caucuses, to gratify the whim, Caprice or ambition of men opposed to Mr. Douglas 'or any other Senator. The rules of parliamentary courtesy and practice must not be outraged for mere political purposes. As Chairman of the Committee on Territo ries; Mr. Douglas has served the country faithfully and well ; the country needs his services again, and is entitled to them. The union and harmony of the Democratic party make it necessary that opposition of this character against .nen who are acknowledged Democrats, and of great influence in the party should cease, now and forever. DEC. 23 de&lawtStirtd BEATIA OF MR. ROBERT GALWAY. The Community experienced a severe shock yesterday at the announcement of the sudden death of one of its most respected and esteem ed members, Mr. Robert Galway. Up to al, most the very moment of his death, he was in the enjoyment of his usual health. But sud denly, in his own house, he was stricken down with disease of.the heart. Mr. Galway was one of our old and SUCCO4- Cul merchants; for many years he carried on a largo and thriving trade. As a rnan,q2e was always disposed to do all thtit lay in his power for the benefit of the cothmunity in which he lived, and was for several years an active and valuable member of the City Councils. As a financier he was ea4tious, prudent, and safe in the management of our financial institutions; his judgment was greatly.rolied upon, and his advioe sought for. :For the past few years he had retired from the more active pursuits of business. At the time of ,his death, he was President of the Pitts burgh Life and Firu Insurance Company, and a Director of the Merchants' and Manufac turers' Bank. As. a citizen, he was lion t, fair and up, right ; as a merchant, his dealings were ever fair and honorable ; he was a warmhearted friend tall classes. This community has met with a se v ere loss in his d e ath. PITTAIWIICH. FORT WAVNE AND CIIICACO AII.IIOA I).

PriKeedlngi of the State Central Committee.

The Chairman stated the object of the Meet ing4tiad suggested that as the Fourthof March I came on Sunday, a change in the timoof hold ing the State Convention was necessary, Ur. Sanderson, of Lancaster, moved that the State Convention meet on Wednesday, February 29th, 1860. Mr. Ressler, of Berks, seconded the motion --carried. . Mr. Kessler moved that the Convention meet in the city of Reading ; seconded, and after an interchange of opinion adopted. The Chairman submitted to the Committee the following resolutions. After reading, Mr. Kessler moved their adoption, which was seconded by Mr. Hodgson. The resolu tions were unanimously adopted, and on mo tion the Chairman was authorized to append , the names of the. members of the State Cen tral Committee. WHEREAS, the Republican party (so called) s altogether sectional in its organization, and is, in a great measure, influenced by a spirit of Abolition fanaticism ; and whereas, It is now en indisputable fact, patent to the intelligence and patriotism of the whole country, that its violent and unconstitutional teachings and doc trines have led ton recent bloody and treason able invasion of a neighboring State, and a base and lawless attack on the lives and prop erty of the peaceful and unsuspecting citizens of :that State. Therefore be it resolved by the State Central Committee of the Democratic party of Pennsylvania : let. That the Democracy of Pennsylvania have no language sufficiently strong to ex press their condemnation of the criminal con duct of Brown and his infamous confederates, and their abhorrence and contempt for the motives of ail those who may have stimulated or countenanced their felonious and murderous undertaking, or who sympatl - ise, directly or indirectly, from any political consideration whatever, with these miserably depraved per sons in their attempt, not only to excite a slave insurrection, with its attendant horrors, in Virginia, hut to occasion if possible, a civil war between the States of the Union. 2d.
