TAE LAW OF LovE.-"Two girls supposed
to DO sisters, Jumped over and sank kissing
each other. A missionary and wife leaped
into the sea together, and the s.ewardess aud
assistant steward, arm in arm followed, One
Hungarian gentleman, with seven children,
four Of them girls made bis wife jump in,
then blessed bis six el1est children, made
them jump in one after the other, aud follow
ed them with an infant in his own artps"
Such is the story of one who witnessed the
thrilling scenes on board the futed Austria
And such is the law Of love When the
Spartan mother saw that the LacGdemanar
heroes must be conquered, she first stabbed
her babies to the heart and then threw her.
sef from q giddy precipice when Virgin
ius saw that his daughter must be polluted
he buried his dagger 10 her breast and thel
threw himself in the van Of Tarquin's enc

Sach is the fearful but beautiful spasm o
holy love, when the highest and teDderes
emotions are linked with the keenest agon,
or the most utter despair.
They kissed and died, and arm 10 arm

Tax LETTERS OF AccErTANcE.-We this
morning publish the letter of John Rowe and
Richardson l.. Wright, accepting their nom-
nations by the General Administration Con-
vention Of the 10th of March, for the offices Of
surveyor General and Auditor General.
They carefully abstain from alluding to the
platform of the Convention which placed
them in nomination. They are eveidently
either ashamed of it or afraid oft, and, in oil
probability both. This fact is, in itself, one
of the most striking proofs that could posi-
bly, have been given Of the Infamous character
of tho Proceedings Of that Convention
These letters indicate that the campaign in
Pennsylvania is to be fought by asking Dem.
ocrats to vote for Messrs. Rowe and
Wright, on the ground and in reality they are
opposed TO the resolutions ofthe administration
Convention or uncOmmittcd to their support
Against canvass of this sort We protest
Inasmuch Messrsrs. Rove and Right have
accepted the position of being candidates of
Convention which deliberately deserts dem
ocratic principles, every Democrat should re-
gard them as the representatives of that Con.
vention. They obtain no claim to the vote
Of intelligent Democrats by the mere endorse
ment OF the mercenary gang which nominated
thsm. No Convention deserves the name of
Democratic Convention, unless it processes
and protects the principles Of the Democratic
party.--Press.
