.Es5aIN TTON.-LIFE INSURANCE RE-
SUMED.-'This Association is now pre-
eI-pared to issue Policies OF Insurance on the
lives of all persons enjoying good general health, and
of sound constitutions, for the whole duration OF life,
for limited period, and upon as reasonable terms as
any similar company. As this is the only institution of
the kind in this State claims fairly the patronage OF
our own citizens, especially when it is remembered that
is at home, and its profits distributed here, while the
premiums of other companies, literally encouraged by
the public are carried out of the State. The advan
tages of Life assurances now too universally
knowledged to require minute detail OF the benefits
resulting therefrom; is enough to say that all persons
who derive their incomes or supportro public or pr-
vate situations, mechanical, professional mercantile
pursuits should avail themselves OF its advantages in
order to liberal support to those who are de-
pendant on their exertions The rates OF insurance
are as favorable as those of any similar institution in
the United States, and general information relating to
Life assurances, together with the rates of premiums
will be cheerully given to those who call at the Office
No 223, corner Main and 9Th sts.
Slaves will be insured as usual on reasonable terms.

The following are among the resolution

ton.
Resolrcd That it be recommended TO the Wings
of the different counties OF the State to appoint cen
trial county committees and subcommittee for each
election precinct.
Resolved, That the central county committees be
requested to appoint public speakers for their res
peetvc counties.
Resoieed, That looking TO the important duties
that will devove the first legislature under the
new constitution. and other consi dcrations con-
nectcd with the public good, this Convention ear
nestiy recommends to the wings of all the counties
election districts and towns entitled to Representa-

1t would be an idle task for us 10 speak
ofthe necessity and advantages Of organi-
cation. United action is as essential to sue
cess IN the movements of parties as in 9th
err attempts above the capacity of individ-
ual exertlon. To meet antagonists who
act by concert. it is indispensable that we
should combine and organize This is
PLAIN to every one. What we need now is
action--immediate, judicious. general. We
therefore call upon the Wings of Camp
bell and all the neighboring counties to pro-
coed at once to pat in pratice the recon-
mendations oflhe convention. No county
should delay longer than its first court day.

to Some months since, as we learn from
the New York Express, by gentleman Of
Pcnnsy lvania, at the request Of eight mem
bers of the State Senate, addressing him
as the undoubttd Wig candidate for the
Presidency, and requesting his opinions on
the various political questions which have
agitated the country, wrote the following
characteristic letter in reply:
Washington, March 2G 1851.
STR:-I have received your letter, mark
ed confidential, in which, after commit
ting the error of sapposing me TO be 'fuly
before the country us the Wing candidate
for the Presidency" you proceeded to in
terrogatc me on many points ofgrave pub
lie interests.
Permit me to, say, that, considering we
shall probably only have Wing candidate
for the Presidency through National
Conventions and that ! cannot be It's nomi-
nee except by the force Of The unsolicited
Partially oflargc masses Of my country
men
Considering, also, that if my character
or principles be not already known, ii
would now he idle to attempt to supply
the deficient information by mere paper
professions Of wisdom ahd virtue, made for
the OCCASION
And considering that, If anstter your
queries. must go on and answer others al
ready before me, as well as the long series
that would inevitably follow, to the disgust
Of the public
will beg permission to close this ac-
acknowledgements ofyour letter By subscrib-
