Listen-The Buffalo Convention.

Seabury Ford will not define his position
on Taylor till after the Buffalo Convention.
If that Convention izzles out, he will GO
Taylor strong. The barnburners hope to
get Van Buren nominated SO as to strength
en- their own State ticket They want to
use the abolitionists and boiling wings a.
gainst the old hunkers. The Executive
Committee Of American and Foreign Anti
Slavery Society have issued an address to de-
feat this movement. They repudiate Van
Buren and go for John P. Hale.
E. S. Hamlin, Esq, True Democrat, sent
by the Columbus Boilers Convention, lately
visited Judge Mclean, at Detroit to ascertain
if he was the man to nominate at Buffalo.
He found the Judge occupying the same po-
sition as Gen. Cass on slavery in the terrific
ries, and came home naum.-Cleueland

Death of Governor Skunk.

We are called upon this morning to per-
form one of the most melancholy and un-
pleasant duties of our editorial life. FRAN
CTS R. SKUNK is NO MORE! The telegraph
announced last evening, that he died at 7
o'clock, at his residence, In Harrisburg.
This event, although anticipated for some
time past,will produce feelings ofthe deep
est sorrow, not onl y in Pennsylvania, but
throughout the Union.
Governor SKUNK was unquestionably a
great and good man. In every relation
oflife, public and private, he has done his
duty manfuliy. AS husband and father,
he was kind and elfectionate; as a citizen
and neighbor, he was generous and philan-
thropic; as public officer, he was honest,
faithful and fearless.
Although Gov. SKUNK has differed from
a large numberof his fellow citizens, in re-
lation to many public measures, yet his
opponents have always given him credit
for honesty and sincerity. His chief study
was the public good. No sectional inAu-
ences were allowed to operate upon his
mind-those who grasped at and claimed
exclusive privileges, looked in vain to
him for encouragement. He was the a.
vowed opponent Of monopolies of every
species-he was the friend of honest indus
try and pure morality.
We might write more, but we have not
time at present. We will barely remark,
in conclusion, that we earnestly hope Penn,
sylvania will hereafter have men in the
Executive chair just as pure, honest and
faithful as FRANCIS R. SHUNK.-Pitts.

From the Ohio Eagl
Voice of a BaCkWO0dSman.

We are thrilled with pleasure at seeing
the following card in the Kenton Herald
Of June Sd. 1t is the voice of an old
ckwoodsman-one of the old pioneers Of
the west, who helped to drive off the muir
derous savage, and reclaim the wilderness
for its present bloom
MY VOICE is FOR GENERAL CAss.
Mr. PEpPER:-I am much gratifed at
the late nomination of Gen. LEWIS CASS
for President and take the opportunity thus
afforded me publicly to say, that should |
live, it will afford me great pleasure to
vote for him. have been a whig all my
life, and have seldom voted for democrats.
Gen. Cass, however, is the man for whom
shall now vote in preference to any and
all others that may be brought before the
country for that Office. We old men of
the west, who have been accustomed to the
tolls and hardships Of frontier life, kmoa0
Cen. Cass, and he has our confidence and
esteem. He is tried soldier, true patri.
OF, and an honest man. | have been ac-
quainted with his life and public services
to his country since 1912-have so much
confidence in the man that | cannot and
will not withhold nay support from him.
There will be hundreds of untrammeled
old backwoodsmen who have shared the
tolls of a fontier life-who have followed
the cow-paths and Indian trails of the north
west-who have no doubt, will do like.

Missouri After Us,

The St. Louis Union, in spirit of COM
mendable emulation, has given the democ-
racy of our State the following notice:
aIinois was the banner State in 1874,
and if she wishes to retain that proud dis
tinction she must outdo herself; for Missou-
ri is resolved on bearing off the palm, if pos
sible."
Missouri must prepare to give over TWEEN
ty thousand for Cass and Butler if she ex.
pects to pull up even within hailing dis
tance of Illinois, But Illinois is, at this
time, more afraid of having to surrender
her proud sBanner" to Ohio, to say moth

And maiden hearts now broken, BY the siege Of

Shall we send these forth to greet thee our gal

Oh no the tears fall thickly DER scenes as dark

And we hear some new bereavement on every
southern breeze
We would an enshroud his actions, who caused
this bloody day,
And greet thee with the Olive Branch, our gal
liant Harry Clay.
We would that heaven had spared us this deep
amount Of woe,
! And granted our most fervent prayer, for thee

lost their sway,
And spears been turned to pruning hooks
