JAMES BUCHANAN. Washington, 28th March, 1860.
MONTICELLO, March 29th, 1860.

WHEREAS, The crisis have arrived and now is that great political excitement pre- vails in thesa United States, from the north to the south, from the east to the west on theislave question, and the crisis being more important in view of our approaching pre- sdential election.
 We the grand jurors selected and sworn in, and for the county of Drew, at the March term of the circuit court for 1860.
 Consider it almost criminal to remain silent at such a time, and particularly in those of our leading and prominent men and politicians.
 Resolved, Therefore, that we the grand jurors tender Judge Sorrels our sincere and heartfelt thanks for the able and afficient address made in the court house on yester day at one o'clock. in obedience to the wishes of many of our citizens on national subject.
 Resolved That we recommend to other leading politicians and public officers, to pursue the same course of Judge Sorrels in this matter, that tho question may be kept kept alive for the present at least, and re- commend that all good southern men may be united on that subject and become as one man-unted we stand, divided we fall. Resslped, That these resolutions be pub lished in the True Democrat at Little Rock.

WHOLESALE INFANTICIDE The London Financial Performer publishes communi- cation from ca gentleman of station and high character" in relation to the treat ment of infant paupers in one of the London work-houses, the statements of which are too horrible for belief. The writer says
 ''I state as fact, which fam prepared to prove by creditabe witnesses before com mittee of the House of Commons, that in the united parishes ofSt. George, Blooms bury, and St. Giles, for which I am rated, there is not one instance in living memory of an infant surviving the treatment in this workhouse There are. now in this work house between 80 and 90 infants; and ac: cording to all experience, not one of these will be living by this time next year. Is this to be wondered at? Certainly not, by those who know the treatment to which these poor innocents are doomed One wretched pauper woman has the charge of all the poor victims of this brutal system Their food is the coarsest workhouse bread soaked in boiling water, tinged with what is called milk. With this, they lie in rows, they are stuffed until they die, as of course they very soon do; or very soon there would be no rooms to lay them in
 They are coming in every hour of the day and night, and as they come they go. Nobody knows-nobody cares. We are small body in our parish, who have been trying long ime to be allowed tolrovide . paid and proper nurse for this awful duty
 We have asked to provide only one paid nur e, but even this the board of guardians have refusad, and still refuse. Can any one doubt that these infants are so tented to be made away with? It Is q notorious fat, to be proven by undoubted evidence, that 1t IS common practice to give these infants the dregs of workhouse porter and the scraps of the workhouse salted pork
 What can this be for but to hasten their departure? And what is this but muder?"

The Sentence of the Allegany Repudia
 fnrS

The fine imposed on Tuesday by the Su- preme Court of Pennsylvania on the three commissioners of Allegany county, forre- fusing to pay the interest on the railroad bonds of that county, was $l ,000 each and costs, besides Imprisonment until such fine is paid. The Chief Justice, in sentencing one of the officials, remarked.
 You have been found guilty of one of the most enormous offenses known to the court. It is not only in your individual capacity, but is a public official, in viola tion of your oath of office to support the constitution of the United States as well as the constitution of this commonwealth, you have allowed yourselves to be placed at the head of an organized rebellion to the existing laws of the State. You have giv- en the case to the custody of your enemies, and allowed them to be your advisers, and have counted the cost.
 The offending commissioners are John s. McIlbenny, z. Patterson and J. Branff A pcremptory mandamus will soon be ls- sued, ordering the levy, and should the commissioners disobey it, they will be subject to another fine. The city council men of .Pittsburg, who also refused to obey the order of the court, are to be brought up for trial and sentence in a few days.

 MASONIC.
To Me Officers and Members of

IoMe Officers and Nembers of
 Western .Star Lodge No. ?, r 4. M,
 The committee appointed at the special of this Lodge, on the 26th ut. to give expression to the sentiments of its members on the occasion of the death of brother EDWARD P. WARHBoURNE, re- spectfully submit the following:
 Death is at all times subject which ex- cites the profoundest emotions of our na lures. We are aware, that sooner or later, 1t must be the common fate of all, yet 1t is ever the mood of humanity to be taken ma wares, bv it's sudden and irresistible ap- proach. When an old man, full of years and honors, is called to his fathers, society mourns his loss, yet is in some degree re- compensed by the memory of his virtues, and the possession of the fruits of his good deeds performed; but, when a youth, scarce past the threshhold of manhood, trained in the school of virtue, and not unmindful of its behests, of generous nature, fired with young ambition to win distinction for him. self and State, gifted with genius of high order, and entering upon it's first h0nors, dS was oui )ouilS DlOlIcI, IS SlTICken UOWH by this insatiate archer, sad indeed to us, is the consciousness that he is gone forever, and our hopes of his mission left unful- filled. But should we mourn as without hope? Our loss may be his gain. It is sufficient for us to know that this affliction " is part of Hs ways, the thunder of whose power who can understand.'
 Resoloed That the members of this Lodge sincerel sympathise with the rela- tives of the deceased, in their great grief, for the death of our brother His kind dis position and manly bearing endeared him to all who knew him.
 Resoloed .turther, As a testimony of oul respect for the memory of the deceased, that a copy of this report and resolution be pre- sented to his mother and relations, ant that the city papers are requested to publish the same, and that the members of thi: Lodge will wear the usual badge of mourun ing for the period of thirty days.

 Mr. Duval presented the following pro- test from the delegates whose names are attached, which was read:
 "We the undersigned delegates to the democratic State convention hereby protest n~sinst the action of said convention in this:
 Ist Because the convention having ad- opted as basis of voting, the democratic vote in each county in the gubernatorial election of 1856, by resolution required only majority of the democratic vote actually represented in the convention as necessary to a nomination when only-- votes were represented therein
 2nd. Because the convention refused to require two-thirdS of the vote represented, or even majority of the democratic vote of the State according to such basis as necessary to a nomination.
 3rd. Because the president of this con- ventlon in casting the votes as proxy of counties not represented by delegates. did not conform himself to the preferences ex- pressed in the conventions of such counties. and because the convention overruled motion that he should be so required to conform his votes
 4th. Because the convention refused to adopt platform of principles before the nomination of a candidate for Governor.
 In making this protest, we wish only to be understood as not committing our selves to such proceedings as pracedents for the government of future conventions of the democratic party, and not as assigning reasons that we will not support the nomi- neeS of this convention
