DLUOCALTIO COUNTT CoNvENTtori.—The gates elected from the several Districts of Allegheny cessecy, and the wards of the two cities, will assemble in ties Court House this morning at 11 o'clock. The delegates, have important duties to perform, and we brie ne doubt, the result of their labcrs will be satire %otos', to their constituents. In the more important matter—tbe nomination of a representative ticket, we have beard but one wish expressed;—all are anxious fee a ticket composed of the most able and talented own of-the party—men who at all times have been true to its best interests, and who have, when called upon, proved themselves able to defend the interests of the city sad county, as well as maintain the great principles of Democracy. Give the sturdy Democta ey of the county a ticket composed of good, qualified MR, and true Democrats, and all will be well, It is true we have this fall neither President or Governo r toe act, and yet the interests at stake in the contest, make it onegithe most important elections ever held in the county off Allegheny. An able and efficient Democratic representation at Ilertisburgh, nest winter, we honestly believe can secure the passage of a bill giving the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road right of way to Pittsburgh. It is therefore, of the first importance, that special tare should be taken in the selection of men to send to the Legislature. We must net fail now in secuting the termination of that work at Pittsburgh; now is the time to be successful with that great measure.— Every man Interested in the prosperity of thin city, and the country around it, should now be up and doing, and much depends upon the action of our democratic friends in Convention to-day. That they will satis factorily discharge the high trust assigned them, and Place before the public a ticket in every respect wet._ ty of. their support, we cannot doubt. We are thus particular in remirding our democratic friends of the importance of selecting good Democrats, and able and influential men for the Legislature, because we sin. cerely believe such a representation can secure the Rail Boad,and we are no less sincere in believing that the whig delegation, if elected, will utterly fail.— That there will be a very decided Democratic major ity in both branches of the Legislature, we regard, as perfectly certain, and to secure the passage of the im portant measure we all have so much at heart, it will be necessary to send men to Harrisburgh who can consistently act in harmony with the majority; if we send men to Harrisburgh opposed to the majority, and who cannotconsistrntly act with them, our ward for k, the chance of success, will at least be greatly les meted.

WHEAT Caor.—The wheat crop of the present year has not only beeen en abundant one as to quantity, but is likewise remarkable for the excellency of its quali ty.

HErtotrrE.—We have just heard, says the N. Y.

A Young man, while bathing there, got beyond his depth, and being unable to swim was sinking lest, when he was perceived by Miss Willis, daughter of William H. Willis of this city. The girl was an expert swimer, and being in the water at the time, quickly as thought she darted for the suff..ter. The•drownding man caught the girl with all the strength of a dying man, and the girl in turn made an effort to extricate herself by biting the clenched hands that held her fast. She was unable to do so, and both were about to be drowned, when they were happily discovered by some laboring men and saved.

GENERAL JACKSON The last River State Review, Marion, Alabama, in noticing the proceedings on the occasion of a Funeral Discourse on the life and character of Jackson by Col. Thomas Chiittm, publishes the following interesting letter from Andrew Jackson, Jr., to that gentleman:— "figs THoM•3 CHIT.ToR, DEAR Stu:—Your kind favor of date the 24th ult., is just received, and I lose no time to reply to it: but the very brief time I have given myself to du it in, will only allow me to give you a hasty sketch of some incidents just before my father's death, with a reference to others. "For the last two or three years of his life, he was greatly afflicted with coughs, pains, and general de bility, producing a consumption of the lungs, and final ly a dropsy, which carried him off; but still, under all his afflictions, he was calm and resigned, cheerful, willing, and ready to go hence, whenever his Diving Master called for birn. Not a murmur scarcely ever escaped his lips. He was a pious member of the Presbyterian church; joined himself to the church in 1837, but was a Christian in thought and principle fora number of years before. He was in the habit of holding prayer morning and evening, for a number of sears before his deathwith ail duo and his grand-shild ren around him. the Bible aixl hymn-book tFid.t he used were those of Mrs Jackson, to whom you know he was dearly attached during his life-time, and whom be was eager to join in the heavenly region above. He was a most tender and kind parent, devoted to his lit tle grand-children and Mrs Jeekson; he would often converse most beautifully to them on the Holy Scrip tures of the death and sufferings of our dear Saviour, Religion seemed to be his main theme for years be fore his death. Politically avesking, be was always interested in the welfare of his beloved country, and took a deep interest in all the discussions of the day, of the most prominent topics, to wit—Texas, Oregon, &c.; their consequences and importance to his belov- ed country. He spoke frequently of them, and pre sume you have seen his letters to various individuals in reference to them published. 'He died at peace with the world. said Whist for all his enemies, and hoped for forgivenees if he. bad injured any, that he wished to die at peal* with God sad all mankind. 'I herewith enclose you a correct skreaology of the IlEogrephyfif OsPi Jamieson; also I will emelose you the last hours of my father, embracing a period of about two weeks before his death, which I gave to Colonel Nichols:so, at his request, we have published In the Nashville Union.

At the time when he was denounced (torn one end of the Union to the other, as a most unmitigated tyrant, Stc.. &c., it was no uncommon thing for him—after a day spent in severe business, and perhaps exciting strug. gle with the assaults that were hoarly horras.ing him —to get up in the middle of the night, wakened by the crying of an infant grand child, and give, perhaps. a couple of hours to the task bof wheeling it up and down the long corridor of the President's house, in a child's carriage, to soothe it to sleep and spare its mother. In his private life he constantly overflowed with those little tendernesses to the friends and rela tions about him; and a thousand anecdotes of him could be told that would not be credited by the gen eration which used almost to frighten children with ' his name. N. Y. Morning News. EXTRACT OF THE SPEECH HON• LEWIS CASS. Befot e the Alarshall Mickanic's Association, Deliv ered on de recent Annivessary of National Inde- pendeaece Others may speak of the departed patriot from re. port or from prejudice: I can speak of him from know ledge. Admitted to his confidence and friendship, at a co-laborer with him, during almost the whole course of his administration, I cannot be deceived in the quill hies of his heartand mind, and in thegreatest tea/urea of his character. He had a strong, penetrnting, pro found judgment. In all my experience of life. and that experience hes been long nod extensive, in the va rious relations of peace and war, of safety and danger, of city and of forest, which our country affords, in all that experience I never have been brought into contect with a man, who possesed mere unerring sagacity, or who reached his conclusions by a quicker or a surer route. Hie perceptions seemed intuitive, passing like a glance from the object to the purpose, and by a process, not perhaps always distinguishable even by himself in the. rapid evolutions of hit mind. His de termination once formed, his will was inflexible, he went forward to the and, without looking to the tight hand or to the left. While the subject was undecided, and he was peeking information with a view to con viction, he felt his responsibility, and was often her rassed and troubled. But once resolved, doubt and hesitation ceased, and his only object of enquiry was the hest mode of action. Thethe was tolerant to the opinions ofoihers though unchangeable in his own, w hen his own had been ma turely formed, was shown in his course towards some of those with whom he had associated with him in his administrathin, and who differed from him upon one of the greatest and most favorite questions of his policy. but who retained his confidence and friendship, and possessed them to the hour of his death. He t hought vigarously. and expressed himself strongly,and his de ridei and animated conversation frequently created the impression that his passions were excited, when in fact he was but giving utterance to his earnest ellno - ions devoid of all feeling, but the feeling of truth.— He was strong and enduring in his friendships and open and und isguiewd t hough not inflexible in his resentments. 01 a purity of purpose, which has never been called into ileriousqueiltion, and which commanded the warm esteem of his friends, end the respect of his opponents. n his habits of business he was industrious, prontpt, methodical, and searching. Examining every sub ject, presented for his action, and often with a severe scrutiny which baffled all power of deceptiun, had any one approached with a view to deceive him. His patriotism was lofty. ardent, and unceasing; sorb as would have become the early days of Greece end Rome, when men seemed to live for their country and when life was no longer useful to die fur her. Like Wash ington he was without descendants, and thus insulated in the world, both stood alone in their glory; and a large share of his affection was turned upon his coun try. And above all, and beyond all, he was a bumble and devout christian, trusting in the merits of a bless ed Redeemer. His closing seet.e was solemn,impres live and affecting. His family was gathered around him to hear his last words, and to mcetve his last ben ediction. And like the patriarch of old he placed his hand upon their heads and prayed to God to bless them. The distinction of color and condition disappeared in that chamber of suffering and death. White and black, bond and free, master and servant, stood a round that bed of sorrow, hut of triumph, and poured out their lamentations for him, who had so long guar ded and protected them. It was a leeching scene, and well has been depicted by the physician who watched over the last 'onus of the deputing Chris rain. Ills faculties were unclouded. Judgement, rea son, memory, left him nor, till the soul left its Perth- Iv tenement. Hi§ physical infirmities indeed pressed him down; afflicted as he was by an acute disorder, by pain, and by debility. But his mind asserted its superiority to the last, and calmly looked out, from the tempest tossed wreck. which enclosed it to the bright heaven of hope, which religion and faith offered to cheer him, and to guide him to his place of rest.— He entered the dark valley of the shadow of death, weakly indeed, but confidently, and we humbly hope he passed ttiumphnntly through it, guarded and gui ded by the R-deemer, who died that we may live. See with what peace a christian can die, said' the expiring Addison to a weeping ft lend. See with what peace a christian has died, may we all say—pointing to the departing scene at the hermitage, which teach es R higher lesson, better then camp or council ever offered to human contemplation. IVhcre, then. seas thy sting, 0 death, and where, 0 grave, thy vic tory? Farewell, thou man of history! Conqueror on ma ny a battle field. Thou hest fought thy last tight and beea vanquished. We commend thy memory to thy countrymen, and thy deeds and fame to posterity.— Time will do thee justice; and as it rolls on in its ceaseless course, it it W 4 111 bear down to her after ages the record of thy services, tolling all thou wast and didst, and stimulating reaction and exertion the youth of our country, by thy bright cyxample, and by the honors which a grateful people will heap upon thy memory and thy tomb.

THE method of Insurance adopted by this Com pany on Mutual and Stork security has now for five years past given full satisfaction to all those who intone on the mutual plan. The late calamity in New York has given an additional proof of the solidity of the system upon which it is based, fur the heavy loss sustained by the Company, in consequence of that ca lamity, has been promptly met by an assessment on the Bonds, while the capital lies been left unimpaired. As it is desirable to extend the plan to other cities, opportunity is now offered to all who are willing 'to take a few shares, to enjoy the advantages of this valuable association. The charter is perpetual, and the Capital may be increased to 500 shares of one hundred dollars. It has not been found necessary to require the payment of more then 20 per et. on the shares subscribed, as the bonds given by the insured form the great reliance of the Institution, and are i perfectly safe, being secured by the Capital Stock.— This is the true mutual insurance, and differs in this respect from all other mutual companies. The re maining SO per ct. may, at any time when required, be called for instalments of the Board The plan thus adopted, effectually avoids the risk and responsibility of investments which, at the time when this Company was formed, was the source of so much trouble and distress.
