1t required the unbending fimness of that
national Democrat and national patriot Geo.
NJ Dallas to set Pennsylvania right with his
great and noble casting vote.
Just SO this Free soil heresy leads men
astray from patriotism and Democracy. 1t
took the Roman firmness of another great
man TO set the mark of the national creed.
The country found such man in the Demo-
cratic standard-bearer of our last campaign
the fearless and patfiotic Lewis cass. 1t
is men like International men and national
Democf>fs, that we can alone rely upon.
After some further remarks by Mr. Frazer,
the Baltimore resolution was adopted.
A resolution was then adopted fixing Rea-
ding as the place of holding the next State
Convention and the first Monday of June
1851 as the time.
The thanks of the Convention were voted
to the people Of Williamsport for their hos.
pitality and kindness to the members of the
convention.
No change was made in the manner of
choosing delegates TO the state convention,
although several propositions were made.
At one o'clock in the morning the conven.
tion adjourned sine die.

DEATH OF A U. S. SENAroR-We are in.
formed by the Public Ledger, that Hon.
Franklin Elmore, is. Senator from South
Carolina, died at Washington city, on Wed.
nesday night, of consumption. Mr. Elmore
is the Senator who succeeded Mr.. Calhoun.
but little better than month ago. He took
his seat on the 18th of April, few weeks af-
ter Mr. C.'s death. Soath Carolina is par.
ticuiarly unfortunate in thu loss of two of its
eminent representatives in one session of
Congress. Mr. Elmore was in the Congress
of 1s37-'39, but since that has been out Of
political life, filling the office of President Of
the Bank of South Carolina.

LONELINESS.

What constitutes true loveliness mo,
the polished brow, the gaudy dress, nor the
show and parade of fashionable life. A
woman may have all the outward marks OF
beauty, and yet not possess lovely charac,
ter 1t is the benevolent disposition-the
kind ac.s-an,, the christian deportm ent. I,
is in the eeart where meakness, truth, affec.
lion, humility are iound-where we look for
loveliness, nor do we look in vain. The
woman who can soothe the aching heart,
smooth the wrinkle b-aw, alleviate the an
guish of the mind, and pour the balm ot
consolation in the wounded breast, posses
ses, in an eminent degree, true loveliness Of
character. She is the real companion of
man, and does the work of an angel. 1t is
such character that blesses with warmth
and sunshine, and maketh earth to resemble
the paradise of God.
