Post Master General has decided, tina,

A PICTU RE.

BY JAS. M'DpNA
Across the narrow, dusty streets,
see, at early dawn,
A little girl with glancing feet,
As agile as the fawn.
An hour or so and forth she goes,
The school she brightly seeks;
She carries in her hand rose,
And two upon her cheeks.
The sun mounts up the torrid sky
The bell for dinner rings
My little friend, with laughing eye,
Comes gayly back and sings.
The week wears ofT--and Saturday,
A welcome day, ween,
Gives time for girlish romp and play;
How glad my pet is seen!
But Sunday--in what satins great,
Does she not then appear;
King Solomon, in all his state,
Wore no such pretty gear.
fling her every day kiss,
And one she filings to me,
know not truly when it is,
She p-ettiest may be.

NJ Sick Headache Remcdy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
to the public, is attracting great attentions not only
by reason OF the very satisfactory testimonials TO
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are SO great a number of people who are af-
Aicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his "rem-
edy," is physician nghis city, in high standing,
great confidence is placed and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed has atractedthe attention
Of all sufferers from headache who have heard Of it.
From our own knowledge OF Dr. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have no doubt that the med
icue deserves the favor il receives, and that il will
prove 10 be great benefit 10 all who may give il
trial. unn Neps, December 90 1853

THE WING ConvEHTIoN AT SYRIA
CUSE.

The New York Wing Convention, that is
now in session at Syracuse, is public move
ment of much interest and importance. SYRIA
cuse has already been the scene Of two conven-
tons in the last two weeks-the Hard and
Soft conventions first of which presented
sound, Democratic constitutional platform,
and the last of which promulged creed as
unintelligible as an ancient oracle. What the
Wings will do--what kind of resolutions they
will pass, and who will be their nominees for
the State Offices to be filled, it is impossible TO
foretell. Nor is there any use in specializing
as to the probable character Of their proceed
ings. What they design doing will probably
be done and communicated to US by telegraph
before this article shall meet the eyes Of our
readers. ,e
The materials composing this convention are
of very diverse and contrariant character
One would suppose that Wings were Wings;
that their sentiments, sympathies, and objects
were the same. Not so, however. This
convention Of New York Wings presents, in
miniature, the true character Of Northern Wing
cry in all its multihrious phases. 1t is made
up Of Know-nothing Wings, Freesoil Wings,
Temperance Wings, Anti-Temperance Wings,
Wings devoted to the advancement Of this man,
Wings devoted to the advancement Of that man,
and small sprinkling Of Silver-Grey Wings,
that seem to edge, as with gold, the begrimed
and ugly picture Of corrupt party Et'i M
Between all these factions and divisions, q
warm contest for supremacy will no doubt take
place., They have all been counting, muster
ing, and organizing their forces for some time
past, and expert, like most New York politi-
clans in stratagems and arts, they have set an
abundance Of snares, traps, and pitfalls for
one another But as we shall, in all proba-
bility, be enabled in our paper Of tomorrow to
spread before our readers the proceedings OF
this convention, defer, until then, further re-
marks on the subject.

To Col. JAMES G.. BERRETr, President Of the
Democratic and Anti Knownothing Demon
stration, Washington, u. e.
MY DEAR SIN: In the proceedings of the
above demonstration" held last evening Of
Carusi's Saloon, published in the Washington
Union, find my name recorded as one of the
vice presidents This was without my knowl-
edge or assent, and as did not approve en-
tirely Of the object of the meeting beg leave
respectfully, with my thanks for the kindness
intended, to decline becoming one of its Of
fcers.
4 In doing SO, do not intend to be misun-
derstood, and shall take the liberty of giving,
in few words, my reasons for this course.
The secret political society Of "Know-noth.
ings," as will be remembered by the readers Of
the Sentinel, met, at the very threshold Of its
organization, my earnest disapprobation.
have seen nothing since to abate, and much to
increase, that disapprobation.
/ do not think, however, with all respect to
the motives which prompted your meeting, that
hesmode you have adopted is the one most
likely to secure its object. ~
Public and popular demonstrations are never,
in my judgment, the most judicious channels of
appealing to reason, while the bitterness and
ill-feeling, which they are certain to engender,
instead of correcting the evil, make it more
active and malignant.
Error ceases to be dangerous when reason
is left free to combat it," and if we shall fail
to convince our adyersaries of their error, by
an earnest and steady maintenance of the prin-
ciples of the Constitution, we have but little to
hope from popular indignation meetings.

low citizen,

PHILADELpHIA, Sept 2l.-Tne Mineralist Gen.
eral Convention, which met and organized yes
terday, proceeded 10 business this morning, and
adopted the new constitution reported by the COM
mitiee, after striking out the provision requiring
its approval by the State convention before going
into effect instead of which il uust be reafirmed
by the next general convention.
The slavery question was introduced by resolu-
ton from the business committee renewing oppo-
sition TO the sin OF American slavery, and deplor-
ing the violation Of the Missouri compromise by
Congress in the passage Of the Nebraska bill.
Rev. Mr.. Flanders, Of Baltimore, objected to the
first clause slavery but because nothing could
be accomplished, and therefore was impolitic,
interfering with the individual exeriions Of Uni
versalists in the South and preventing the spread
Of Universalisis principles.
A spirited debate ensued when the resolutions
were adopted.
After some further business, the convention ad.
journed TO meet again next September, al Middle

FOREIGN NEWS.

Itappears from the foreign news brought by
the Atlantic, and contained in our issues of yes
terday and this morning, that the aspect Of affairs
between the Allies and the Russians remains
unchanged. There have been no new battles,
nor have any events Of Importance occurred.
The diplomatic efforts to settle differences on
an amicable basis and to induce the Gar TO
recede from the ground he has all along occu-
pied, are but stereotyped and monotonous rep.
etitions of those made in the earlier stages Of
the controversy. t 's
4 Boulogne has been the scene of royal inter-
views Of the most affectionate character be-
tween Louis Napoleon and the King of Bel
GUM, the Duke de Brabant, the King of Por-
tugal, and Prince Albert Of England. ,o
The Queen Mother has been required to
leave the Spanish dominions. The document
containing this requisition--or rather the de-
cree Of Punishment, was signed by all the min
listers. In accordance with the views of the
ministry, the Queen Mother left Madrid. Ru-
mors prevail that since her departure she has
become insane, in consequence Of continued
mental excitement. A popular outbreak of
some violence took place when it was ascer-
tanned that Christina had escaped. But prompt
measures were taken to Illustrate and to quell
il, which were attended with success.
Since writing the above we have received
news of the arrival Of the Arabia. ~
The most striking features Of this news,
which we give in our telegraphic column, are the
new position assumed by Austria in reference
to her cooperation with the allied powers
against Russia, and the departure of the allied
feet from Varna for the Crimea. AS for the
destruction of Bormesund, it was already for
seen event and has nothing to surprise u.s..
The declaration of Austria that the refusal of
the Gar TO comply with the notes Of England
and France does not imply casns-delli, and
that in the midst Of entire preparation for war
is silly confession or a shifting subturfuge TO
protract still further an already protracted
question. This, supposing the truth Of the
report, would certainly change the position OF
parties, in throwing the power Prussia already
acquired to the Gear in combination with
German and Austrian influences. Thusevery.
thing is still more unsettled at the seat of war,
and politicians have a fine field for supposition
| and commentaries. What will be the new
phase of the Turkish question by the next
steamer? Who will answer?
