State legislatures to initiate a movement for
the cali Of a convention to amend the Federal
Constitution. We give ihis~ proposition in his
own words, and bis concluding advice and ex-
hortation to Union;
Ia the event Of the failure Of Congress to
propose this, or q similar ameniment, to The
Constitution, the citizens OF Pennsylvania
should have an opportunity, BY the appiica-
lion Of some peaceable remedy, TO prevent the
Acknowledgement OF this Union. This can only
be done by calling a convention OF delegates,
to be elected By the people, with view soiely
to the consideration Of Whist measures snouia
be taken to meet the preseat fearful eEigen-
eies. II Congress should propose no remedy,
let It emanate from the source Of sli authority,
the people themselves.
Every attempt upon The part Of individuals
CT Of organized societies TO lead The people
away from their allegiance 20 the Government,
30 induce them TO violate any OF the provisions
Of The Constitu'io or to igcite instructions
In snv Of the States Of the Union, ought to be
prohibited bv law as crimes of a reasonable
nature. Il is Of the first importance to the
perpetuity OF this great Union that the hearts
Of the Deople, and The action Of their c0nsti-
tinted authorities, should be in unisOni in giving
a faithful support &c the Consultation Of the
United States. The people Of Pennsylvania
are devoted to the Union. They will follow
it's stars and its stripes through every peril.
But, before a 'suming the high responsibilities
now dimly foreshadowed, it is their solemn
duty TO remove every just cause of complaint
against themselves, SO that they may stand
before high heaven and the civilized world
without fear and without repFoach, ready 10
devote their lives ard their fortunes to the sup
port Of the best form Of government that has
ever been devised b. the wisdom Of man.

The New York Express OF Monday relates
the following singular story
Some eight years ago a handsome young Po-
lander wooed and Won a dsmsal from his own
native land. Everybody being willing, the
nuptial rite was performed, and the happy
couple took up their abode in this city, where
Mr.. p earned a comfortable subsistence.
Matters passed on as usual for nearly eight
years, two children being born in the mean
time. SOME three months ago Mr.. P. told his
wife that he had a splendid opportunity to en-
gage in a very lucrative business in Chicago,
provided be started Immediately. In compli-
ance With her hush 3nd'B request, and like du-
tiful wife, Mrs. P packed up the wearing
/ apparel Of her liege lord, and al things were
in readiness for Mr.. P's departure. A
few hours before Mr.. p was to start, a
lady friend ~ called on Mrs. p and com
municated TO her The startling intelligence that
the business that Mr.. p was going to en-
gage in at Chicago was neither more nor less
than a matrimonial engagement With a Young
/ lady 10 whom be had become attached and en-
gagged a few months before in this city.
Though startled by The intelligence, Mrs.
P kept her own counsel, and determined
upon revenge. Mr.. p took his departure,
with every indication Of intense affection on
both sides.
The train next to the one in which Mr.. P.
was seated contained Mrs. P. aBd the two
children. In the course Of tine all the parties
arrived at Chicago, Mrs. P. arriving on the
morning Of the daY that her husband was to be
married. She attired herself and her children
in holiday raiment, and went to the house Of
the bride a few moments Before the ceremony
took place. The porter at the door supposed
her to be an invited guest, and usheFed her
in'o the paTlor. As soon as the children saw
Mr.. P. they embraced him and called him
papa. An reimbursement followed; the bride
tainted, the mamma swn0ned; Mr.. P. grew
pale, while the brother Of the bride admins
tered a sound chastisement to the Won d-be
bridegroom. Stung by the proof Of her hus-
bands faithiessness, Mrs. P. became 90 eX-
cited that, in a Fl Of passion, she rushed into
the kitchen where the bridal feast was being
prepared, and seizing a vessel containing hot
soup, rushed into the parior, and before a hand
could be raised to dissusde her from her pur-
pose, The entire contents were thrown ever
Bfr. p, g~calding him drsadfully. Amid
shrieks OF pain, Mr.. P. was taken to the hos
Pital, his skln utterly peeling of on ths way.
About two weeks after his admission TO the
hospital he died in great agony. An invssti-
cation was had, but owing TO The difficulty OF
procuring witnesses, Mrs. P. was released,
and returned to this city a widow, a sadder, if
not a wiser woman,
