In convention of the Members deet to the Senate. Wednesday. Jan. 3, 1844. The Convention was called to order by Mr.

Atwbod, of Penobscot, on whose motion Mr. Frye of Oxford was appointed Chairman. Mr Atwood laid upon the table the following Proclamation, which was read from the Chair; 4 State of Maine. A PROCLAMATION.

On Wednesday evening last there was a large meeting of the Bangor Repeal Association, at the Citx Hall.

The meeting was called io- order- by Michael Boyce, President of the Association, and two receivers were' appointed to registernames.and the amount of money received. The President briefly alluded to the objects of the meeting; and then called upon Mr M. Crowly to explain more fully the design of the meeting. Mr Crowly responded to the call, and in- an eloquent speech gave a graphic picture of the objects of the meeting, and of 8, in I To protect the public against tv, has been practiced in filling the in.Ii,"!,osi,i tk manufactured in the most imnrf ''UhS' from poor materials, thereby ct msner of'ht Air-Tight Stove, no S' authorized to make the sam.

Wharton, though the ferocious annuals were close upon him, never lost Kis courage or presence ot inind. As soon as he had gained the eJge of the cliff, he knelt down, and with his sword divided the fastenings by which the bridge was attached to the rock. He expected that an effectual barrier would thus be put loa father progress of the pursuersj but he was mistaken! for he had scarcely accomplished his task, when the tigress without a moments pause, rushed toward the chasm, and attempted to bound over it It was a fearful sight to see the mighty animal suspended fir a ino oent in the air above the abyss, but the scene passed like a flash of lightning.

The Indians again uttered a loud shriek as if all hope had been lost. But Wharton, who was nearest the edge ot the rock, advanced courageously towards the tiger, and struck his sword into the animals breast. Enraged beyond all measure, the wild beast collected all his strength, and with a violent effort, fixed one of his hind legs upon the cliff, and seized Wharton by the thigh.

That heron: man still preserved his fortitude, he grasped the trunk of the tree with his left hand to steady and support himself, while with his right he wrenched und violently turned the sword that was still in the breast of the tiger. All this was the work of an instant. The Indians, Frank and myself, hastened to his assistance; but L-ncoln, who was already ut his side had seiZ'-d Whartons gun which lay near upon the ground, and struck so powerful a blow with fhe butt end upon the head of the tiger, that the animal, stunned nnd overpowered, let go of his hold, and-fell hack into thp abyss.

He contrasted the past and present condition of the Irish people, and pointed out the mischief working effects of the Union. It was a speech of great excellence and power. A call was then made upon the editor of the Whig, who answered to the call by a few brief remarks. The meeting was further addressed by Nathaniel Hatch, Moses L.

Appleton, Henry E. Prentiss, H. D. Cushing, Ephriam Moulton, Mr. Patrick Crogan and Mr.

M. Crowley, in answer to culls made upon them by the meeting. We learn that between twenty and thirty dollars were collected. The meeting was one of great interest, and there was an earnest and patriotic spirit breathing in the remarks made by the several gentlemen, and, with the exception of what we said, we have rarely listened to better speaking upon tbis cause. We trust the Repealers of this city may take new courage in their enterprize, and rely, as heretofore, upon the moral force of public opinion, for the final success of their cause.

On motion of Mr Atwood of Penobscot, Ordered, That a message be sent to the acting Governor, to infoi in him that a quorum oi the Senators elect are now assembled in tbe Senate Chainbei, and are ready to take and subscube the oaths prescribed by the Constitution. Mr A. was directed to bear this message, and having attended to the duty assigned him, reported that the Governor was pleased to say that he would attend foilbwith for the purpose of qualifying the Senators elect to enter upon their official duties.

The Governor then came in attended by the Council and the Sheriff of Kennebec, and administered the oaths of office required by the Constitution.

Could they see the awful end to which such a course oi conduct, must, if persisted in, inevitably lead, they would shun it as habit most of all to be shunned, and dreaded. Thousands oi active minded men who might have been ornaments to the world doers of good to humanity, and in the constant enjoyment of happiness themselves, have gone down to degradation and daikness, to stupidity and ruin their influence a blight upon society, and their peace iorever lost in fretful excitement, or buried in intoxication. A multitude of vices cluster about the vice of gambling indeed eveiy vice is a breeder of others, but this seems to be highly prolific. We would interpose an earnest caution to oui young men against gambling the excitement of it is shortlived and delusive, while it unflts the mind for the proper enjoyment of the realities of life, blunts the conscience, and debases and corrn pts the heart.

SMITH PKNSO. REMOVAL. The Whig and Courier Office has been removed to the spacious room in the second story ol the Keuduskeag Market. Mr Jforcrosss Lecture Lumbering-Lumbering Resources Ac. Mr Norcross remarked that Bangor was the largest lumbering market in the world.

Lumber, he said, was our great article of trade and furnishes at least nineteen twentieths ot our exports, the whole of which are about $2,000,000 per annum. It is often remarked that most of the money received lor lumber goes out of the Stale to pay for supplies, this Mr N. said was a great mistake, as any one could discover who would carefully examine the subject. There were engaged in business in some way connected with Lumbering and its preparation for market, on the Penobscot river, about four thousand men who work at leaBt eight months in a year in this business. These are mostly young men belonging to Maine.

Fur the purpose of bowing the cost of producing lumber and lire channels through which payments are made the the lectmer threw the whole matter into a tabu, jar form in round numbers, thus: 4000 men employed 8 mos. each at 75 cts.

Liver complaint, Bronchitis, and all those affections of Throat and Lungs which are a source of so much suffering and unarrested, so often terminate in Consumption tbis remedy is highly and justly distinguished. It is purely vegetable, mild and gentle in its effects upon tbe system, and can be taken in tbe most delicate cases, with safety as well as utility. Physicians, aware ol its medicinal properties, and witnessing its effects even in extreme and in some instances apparently almost hope less cases, often prescribe it in tbeir practice, both as a palliative and a remedy, and with the Medical Faculty generally it has met with great approbation. Consumption The following remarks were taken from the last number of the Medical Magazine The surprising effect produced by the genuine Dr. Taylors Balsam of Liverwort, made at 375 Bowery, in consumptive cases, cannot fail exciting a deep and thrilling interest throughout the world.

We have so long considered this disease (consumption) incurable, that it is difficult to credit our senses when we see persons, evidently consumptive, restored to health. Yet it is a fact of daily occurrence. Certificates from fhe highest and most respectable sources, or persons who have been either greatly relieved by it, or entirely recovered from affections of the Lungs and Liver, could be furnished in abundance, but we insert only the following CERTIFICATE.

(EFThe Washington Standard, in reference to the withdrawal of Mr Buchanan's name from the Presidential campaign, remarks that tbe movement may be looked upon as a manoevre to secure the electoral vote of the Keystone State for one whom Pennsylvania dislikes, not to say, abhors. It has all the outward marks of a coalition of a political bargain, by which the honest yeomanry of that State are to be sold, setoff, alienated, released, and transferred to the Little Magician. What the con-sideartion ia to be, time may, perhaps, develop probably a better chance of Mr Buchanan for the succession Mr Benton filing perhaps a seat In the Cabinet, or the mismoh to England oay, perhaps both the property transferred ia valuable twenty-six rotes may turn the stale and secure the Preaidency to Mr. Van Buren. There is one thing however to be remembered the bargain is inchoate until ratiAed by the people.
