Tot the American. T lit HHtnnne nnJ Bncvirut Inhabitants f Jtorthouibcrland County. We address yon upon th inturetting subject of establishing in Pennsylvania, an Asylum for the Intuit. You liave been generally informed, we pre sume, during the Inst winter, the attention ofthe Legislature was affectively attracted to (hit sub ject, by n lady, named D. L. Dix. Her Immaflu filings had induced ber to view the prison of this, and other states, with the purpose of ascer taining nud am diorating the condition of those sufl'iring ii ml ;r this d ptorable malady. ft n act cf .A ;.'ttr.Wy was passed, by which .'si. Tt.'r Ecr:i;macher, Haldcrman, Camp-b-'l and Trco, were constituted commissioners t piiri'i.i':' ; trj.rf, of not less than one hundred aer-soi' !ar..i, : i:hin ten miles of Harrisburg. This pi'ii'ha!, vvs understand has been made ; among other things, they were empowered to 'appoint a committee in every city and county ef this Commonwealth, to solicit and receive pri vate euhscijitioui for this laudable and benevo lent object. Those Commissioners have accordingly ap pointed us as a committee for this county; and addressed to us a letter, of which the following i,m extract. "We earnestly solicit your ptompt and efficient notion for this important and bene volent object. Let us speedily redeem our belo ved state from the opprobrium which now rests opon her from immuring in dungeons, and in ma My instances, chained and manacled, a portion of our bellow citizens desiring our kindest regard and sympathy. Let it no longer be the reproach of Pennsylvania, that while they have munifi cently provided for the advancement of the sane part of their population, they refuse to give of their abundance, a small pittance lor those whom .the Almighty, in his providence has deprived of reason, thus disqualifying them for providing for themselves." Various circumstances, fellow citizens of Nor thumberland county, have too long impeded our responsive action to this afTecting appeal. But, sve now, most seriously and earnestly invoke your charitable aid and co-operation, in the per formance of a duty sacred and imperative in the .'.I'f om of any human being, who is not callous to the emotions of kindness and humanity. V.arly relief, as Miss Dix proves, to these sub jects of the most terrible afllict on, is of the first importance. "When the duration of the dis ease has been less than one year, from eighty to ninety percent, will recover ; where it has ex isted from one to five year, from twenty to thir ty per cent.; from five to ten years, about twelve peT cent.; and when of longer duration, not more than five per cent." Miss Dix's memorial, p. 7 Causes in confirmation of this may have fallen un der your own bbervations as they have under ours. Thus, even the selfish and sordid man, were we to apply to such, might find it a sa ving of his hoarded wealth, to provide for the in sane, prompt and judicious relief in the assylum, rather than turn his back upon a disease daily be lomingmore obstinate, and creating a long tKid lingering charge upon the township. iit we appeal to hieh-r motives, and nobler considerations. The law of our nature calls up on vs to relieve the sufferings e-ven of irrational animal ; how much more powerful is the im pnlse of the human heart, to hasten to the relief of the kindied h'-srt of man. lie who holds back where he can deliver the innocent in distress, vi rl it-s the instinctive emotions ef his own breast. A nd the Author of nature calls upon us in a more exidiei' roice, to be merciful, if we ourselves won' i obtain mercv.

Such sufferers are commonly secluded from the T'ii'iiic eye ; and this is done with the greater vi gilance, as the mental derangement is made vio lent and revolting. Yet, within a few-of the last toQii'.lis, have we not seen three or .four misera ble maniacs roaming through our streets, diffu eing alarm and ditress around them.

C7" We bad intended to publish the address of the convention of the Danville and Shatnokin rail road, which has been crowded out by a press of political matter this week. In another column our readers will find an interesting article, on the subject of th" contem plated Insane Asylum, by a committee of gentle men from this county. It is a subject which ap peals to our warmest sympathies, ami should re ceive the support of every good citizen and phi lanthropic heart. The SrNSToriiAt. CoNFErrr.s. n ano ther column will be found the proceedinss of the conferees of this Senatorial district. These pro ceedings afford the best evidence to show who were most in fault in not making a nomination. The Harrisburg papers comment with great se verity upon the conferees, in not aereeing upon a third man, saying, that they were the represen tatives ofa party, and not thcautomaton delegates of an individual, and ask for the ballottincs to see where the fault lies. Th-'se balloUinsrs we now publish, by which it will be seen, that ibe Dauphin Conferees were wholly in fault, by re presenting an individual, instead of a party. We also ask the attention of our readers, to the statement of the -conferees of this county, w ho, it will be seen, offered to agree to almost any terms to effect a compromise, terms, which none but those who are determined to role or ruin, could have honorably rejected. The statement of th- Dauphin conferees, that none were willing to j yield, is incorrect, and only applicable to th"rn- selves, as the proceedings willshow. The Nor- thumberlaml county conferees did every thing j servation convinced us ot the (act. We offered that con Id be done by honorable men, except to ' frequently to yield Mr. Deweart, if the confer listen to the dictation ofa few who caied more ee from iirliin, would yield Mr. Foster. This for tbeir man than the measures ofthe party. We have nude room for the piocee lings ofthe meeting held at Northumberland, on the 19th inst., which, as we are nt present crowded with copy, we have inserted, not without some inconvenience. We publish the proceedings in accordance with the request of the meeting. Ol their propriety, people w ill of course have their own opinions. And whether a few persons fiom a few of the neighboring townships, have a i ight to annul the pioceedings of a County Couv.-n-lion, will aleo be deemed a matter of doubtful propriety, by some. But w e are willing to let every portion and every fragment of the party ' sibility. have a hearing through our columns, always te- j We submit these facts to the candid judgment serving to ourselves the right of expressing our ' of ourdemocratie fellow-citizens. We rely np epinrons upon the subject. In doing this, it is on the result, w ith the utmost confidence oftheir but just and -properto say, thallhe meeting was a j approval of our course. We have acted un very small one, considering its object ; the w hole ! der a due sense of our duty to them, and we be assembled force, not numbering ia amount half J liee that w e have performed our duty honestly the democratic vote of the barougk of Northern- ' and fearlessly, and believing so, we have not the berland alone. eai Jcsire to shrink from the repnsililitv. tic nave iiuii knui iiiis n crfc m 111911 ii-t j proceedings of the democratic party of the bo- I rough of Northumberland, for the puijmse of de- cidiflg what action the denioera'ie party would j take in regard to Ihe election ofa Senator'" in this district.

Packer, which we should not no tice but for some ttatcmentt which wt know to be untrue. Ai we were one of the delegates to the Canal Commissioners' Convention, and had some thing to do with the nomination of Mr. Burns, we know that Mr. Pucker did not "try to get up ! an opposition to Mr. Burns," but was on the con . trary, a warm supporter and friend of Mr. Burns, The idea that Vr. Packer could not get himself nominated, is too silly to require comment. We ' know that he did not desire it. Mr. Packer'! con duct during the whole proceedings, was such, a to meet with the approbation and respect of all liberal minded persons. The idea of the enemies of Oeneral Cameron claiming the nomination of Mr. Burns as a victory, is truly ridiculous. Those who have any knowledge of the doings of that convention, know that Mr. Bui ns was under no obligations to therevilers of Gen. Cameron for his nomination. 0"7 Joseph Nicely declines being a candidate for Sheriff. CT7 Hon. Levi Woodbury has been appointed to the b-nch of the Supp-me Couit of the IT.

The regu'ur proceedings of the conferees ap pear in another column of this paper, and it is therefore, unnecessary to state them particularly. This is a new Senatorial district ; the counties have never b"en united before, and, therelore. neither, could with truth be said to have any su perior claim to .the no-nira'ion. Your confer ees were instructed by a large majority of the delegates, to support the nomination of Wjr. L. Diiwaht. Esq. However much disposed we were to carry out our instructions, we were im pressed with the d'Miioeratic motto, ' peine, 'pirn, n'it men," and went into the conference with a strong determination to sacrifice our instructions, the claims of our county and our personal piede lections, to ii cure the union and success of the democracy of the district ; and we fearlessly a ver, thit if we had been mi t in the same spirit of conciliation and sacrifice, a candidate upon whom all weuld unite, would have been nomina ted. At our first meeting at Georgetown, after a number of ineffectual ballots, the conferees from Da.iphin moved to break up the conference, which was defeated hy our votes, thus evincing a disposition at the very outset, on their rart, to decline another opportunity for coming to an a greement, and at once to put a nomination out of the q 11 -st ion. At the same time, we proposed to nominate A. Jordan, Esq., who would have nni ted the entire democracy of the district, and insu red its success. We proposed to nominate E. V. Bright, Esq., and thus unite and harmonize the party in this county. Both thes offers were re jected, with the answer that either Mr. Fosterer I N,r Dewart must be nominated. At our subse- quent meeting, we proposed to drop both Mr. Foster and Mr. Dewart, and nominate a person in Dauphin county ; yi t they refused to dothis, or to name any person that we might consult about and agree upon. It may be asked, why under the circumstances we did not agree to the nomination of Vr Fos ter ? Our answer is a short one, and true as it is j short. He never could be elected. His nomination j would ensure the defeat and ruin of the democratic Tar,y r ,l,is district. Of tSese facts w e were by many of the stronge-t and most infill- j cntial democrats of Dauphin county, both before i alld wnil we were among them, and our own oh- I " aM ,t,r' co,,IH ,iiir,y ask' More ,,,im "n- tier tne circumstances, it would have been trea- j sou the democracy to have granted; for we j firmly believe it would have resulted in its de- feat ami entire overthrow, in the district. After the cwnference adjourned, youi conferees j met and nominated Wm. L. Dewart, Esq., the I democratic candidate for Senator, in this district. ; He is honest and capable intelligent and ac j live energetic and untiring in his advocacy of democratic principles, he is a candidate upon i whom the staunch democracy of Northumber land county can proudly unite, and if defeated by j a fictiou -, upon their heads re.ts the respon- ISAAC CAKE, C.

After a short absence, the committee appoint- ! ed to prepares preamble and resolutions exprcv ' sive of the Sense of this meeting, reported thro' ; their chairman, (5. A Frick, Esq., the following : Wmk-rka. an unfortunate division exists in the democratic ranks of this county, caused, we believe, in part, by unfounded jealousies excited by political demagogues for the purpose of ad- vancing their own private interests, and in part by an unequal apportionment of the delegates f,., ,y,(r..r..nt r ii,. ...;;., the townships and boroughs west of the liver ,i, :.. nnr..iinn;n ,i,.t .,i;;..,.i ,;..l,t are not duly weighed and respected bv their bre- ir(,n of th p:is1(.rn portion of the county; and hereas. such nnnrehensions an.l jealousies, whe- ther justly or unjustly founded, exercise an un- J bcrliuid and Dauphin could not agree upon a favorable influence upon the harmony and united ; CBmj!n,0 flir State Senate, it now becomes the action of the whole party, we deem it the duty j,lty fth), ,t.lni,-r;u. p!,r,v to take such mca ofthis convention (being composed as it is of de-j BrJ win eP-.lire tlm eli-clion o'l democrat. mocrats from each section of the county) to do ( all that lies in their power to conciliate and bar nionize, if possible, every sectional interest and : all existing conflicting prejudices.

We have met here this day, not to foster the seeds of sectional jealousies, not to array one part of the county a gainst the other because the waters of the Sus quehanna flow between ns, but for the nobler ; purpose of conciliation am! compromise, for the i purpose of enabling our whole party as hereto j fore, to present an unbroken front against the ! ranks of our common foe. at the ensuing election, that we may once more rejoice in our union and strength, and the defeat of the w hig party in old Northumberland. Men mav claim the name and t(llk (M1,1). ofthe principles of democracy, yet if they are unwilling to surreiidertheir own personal prejudices and sectional feelings, that the princi ples, nsages and union of the party may be main tained. They are hypocrites in profession, and traitors to the party to which they profess to be- long In our selections of men to fill the various county offices, we hol.l that a fair and reasonable propoition should be given to each side of the ri ver, that all jealousies and sectional feeling may hereafter have no cause to exist between the two divisions of the county.
