bnislng the question, “ Whether Elective Mo
narchy is preferable to Hereditary ?” and, hibst
curious of all, the entire of tho celebrated (bar
ter Song of tho Monks ot the Screw, (whefeef,
in tho Life of Curran by his Son, two verses
were suppressed,) all these being in the actual
bandwriting of Curran, and tho last-mentioned
bearing date 17f6, st Which time the great
orator had been a iafryeF of Only a loft modus’
staHdibg, haVibg been “ called to the bar” at
the Michaelmas Torm, 1776. These very curi
ous and highly interesting manuscript* belong
to a grand-nephew ;of- Curran’s, no# in this
country, tvho—ihaslnltbh &B fee, Iho writer of
these linos, edited the Life of. Cnrran a few
years ago—has entrusted them to our keeping
for a few days, and—be thankful, ye antograph
fanciers—has allowed us to give somo account
of tbem, with extracts, which wo intend doing
some day this very ftreeh;
AboUt aUtOgfaphs there has booh A natural
curiosity, because A mAh’A, handwriting is, as
it Were, A pattOf hiWbelf. Hismindproduced
thO thoughts which his hand has put upon paper.;
Hero, for example, is a little French book—i
an odd volnme of Corneille—which formed
part of Napoleon’s cabinet library at St. Hcs
lena, and had accompanied him in various of
bis campaigns. The binding has been Wornj
the. leaves have been soiled by his hands. HiA
peh traced that rapid StiraWl on the ily-lerf
Vrhich represents the word “ iTapoleon,” and
his pencil (for French printing paper, like
most American, is unsized, and will nbt Dear
inkj) haS-haSUiy Vrrittoil_tho notel running ali

GrCcian scold, bnt evidently admired tie chi
valrous character of that great Spaniard, the
Cid. With this small volnme ih onr hand, and
Napoloon’s manuscript pencilliigs bofore out
eyes, is it very singular that we'feel ob if Na!-
poleon himself were almost in/cbmpany, ?
In tho British Museum, in London, there
hangs up, patent to ail viaitoi-s, ihsi, orj at all
events, An original copy of ’ Magna Charta
Whieli the bold Barons and Clergy of England
forced from the reluctant hands of King John,
six hundred and fifty years ago. Does that
excite no interest, even though it be a dead
letter now I Nay,- withont visiting London,
tbero is a very remarkable document, notv
banging up in tbe counting-house of Ohilds &
Peterson, publishers in this city, which is no
less than tho commission from Congress,
signed by John Hancock, under which the
immortal Washington hold chief command
dnring the whole of the TV ar of Independence.
There Is no doubt, wo think, from tho history
of this remarkable document, that it was tho
actual Commission which Washington resigned
into the hands of Governor Hifilin, then Pre
sident of Congress, in tho Stato House of An
napolis, in December l>BB, at tho close of tho
War.
Sovoral times, wo havo been asked to write
sketchos of Macaulay, Mooro, Byron, Scoti.
Disraeli, Palmerston, Louis Napoleon, ami
other eminent men-lho persons who thus solici
ted us being apparently unaware that wo roally
havo written about thorn all, and about others,
over and ovor again—so often, that we have
often dreaded being scolded lor giving * tiiricu
told tale. The public, it appears to us, would
bo protty well pleased, in general, if personal
sketches and literary articles wero reproduced
ovory two or throe years—then, as Coleridge
said, « They would bo as good as Manuscript.”
Some readers are very literal. For examplu,
we wrote an article, somo months ago, entitled,
“Wanted, a Subject,” and a friend, at a dis
tance, who read it, took it for granted that our
imagination or memory had run dry, snd, ma
king a great effort, sent us a wholo batch of
articles from his own pon—not one of which,
from the remarkable illegibility of his hand
writing, wo havo yet been able to read, far less
publish I :
Now and then, wo confess, wo have com
menced'aperies of artioles upon a particular
subject, and have not got beyond the first of
them. Among these, was a series upon the
Theatres of London—wo never wett beyond
tho first, but, as tho song says, “ There’s a
good time coming,” and we shall continue and
complete thoso articles, at any rate.
Talking of subjects—wo are offon pressed
to give Sketches of Life and Manners at Capo
May and Atlantic City. But our Correspond
ents, it 'seems to us, work these subjects to
death. For our own part, wo aro glad that
Atlantic City has gone so much ahead this
year, and havo every confidence thatsuch land
lords as HcKibbin, Benson, Bedloo, and
Thayer, have done, and will do, ill in their
power to make their guests at homt. The in
troduction ol gas into tho leading hotela at
Atlantic City Is a great advance.
Mention of Atlantic City reminds ns ol
rather a smart saying which a wit fired off
there,' last week. It is not too mnch to say
that Mrs. William Wheatley is tbe prettiest
young married lady at Atlantic City, and it is
known that she can swim like a Sea-nymph.
Our friend said « Surely, Nr. Wheatley is a
great monopolist I He has two Naiad Queens
at at Arch-street Tkeatro, and
another here!” This may not be new, but it
certainly Is true.
Two female correspondents, writing in tne
same precise, formal, and slightly fiouriahing
hand whloh we dotost—for it shows no cha
racter—remind us that we promised to relate
what we know of tho causes of, tbii separation
of Byron and his wife, and that we have not
exhausted the subject of Newslead Abbey,
which the Poet really possessed for a compa
ratively brief period. AS to Netmead .Abbey,
wo have , already written two ‘artlolefl, one
when Colonel Wildmon died, aid the other
some ten days ago, when the'Abbey was put

and been partially swallowed, remaining in the
throat, and causing suffocation until they were
feund and removed. People wearing plates, there
fore, should always be careful to remove them
before breathing any asthetio, for it cannot be ex

will ask them if their teeth are artificial.

A prominent mature of the spirit which prevailed
was the disposition to bqry theXecorapton question

no longer, in regard to quostions which hsa now
because the veriest abstractions.
In my own Congressional district (if I may take
the liberty of BingUng it out In this discussion), a

In regard to tho discussions on tho Lecompton
Constitution, in common with the Democracy of

nions J hilt not doo Word df dlifeApeet toward the
Presidont or bis Administration, had been allowed
to transpire through the Demooratio press, or in

bearance, and where we could, forgetfulness, had
been studiously cultivated upon this ntihappy sub*;
jeot of At-Reading, our delegates en-'
tered earnestly into the prevalent feeling of conoid
liatlon and compromise. Baker ana Montgo

delegates at large; and Vaua, Plummer, and
Wooaward» for Senatorial electors.
The Subject df the Presidency seemed to havq

The oonoluding resolution of the Reading Conven
tion, was a strong, unanimous, and
pledge to support its own, and the nominees of thp
Charleston Convention.
I oontend, from alHhat transpired at tho Read
ing Convention, thoro was not the slightest manij
festation of any radioal objection toward Judge
Douglas an a prominent candidate for the Pres if
denoy. Not cno word was uttered against him In
open Convention; tho resolutions adopted without
a dissenting voice, and amid thunders of approval,
areolosoly consistent with those adopted by his
friends at Charleston, bisewn well-known opinions,
and the present national platform of the party
Even those of his friends in our Stato, who had
openly differed with Mr. Buohanan’B Administra
tion upon tho Lecompton question, wero invited
and encouraged to fall again Into lino, under the
old time-honored standard of tho party, and again
march on to & united triumph. How else were
we to redeem the State? Prom what quarter brit
from those already agroeing with us on most ques
tions of publlo policy, wore wo to recruit our de
feated ranks ?
And yot, what was the oourso pursued by a ma
jority of the delogates sent by that Reading Con
vention to Charleston 7 Concession and liberality
toward Judge Douglas and his friends ! Mani
fested in a form Worthy of Persian Satraps- a ty
rannical effort on the part of a baro majority to
GAG every friend he had on the delegation, by
combining the friends of all the other candidates,
and insisting tipoh Waiting tho rote of the State as
a unit! Prominent and noisy in this aubtimo
effort, woro some men, who, but for tho' liberality
of the friends of Judge Douglas, would nevor,
themselves, have bad a scat in tho Charleston
Convention!* Amongthooomplaints of the bolt-,
ing gentlemen, is thlsfailnre to gag nearly half tho
Pennsylvania delegation. 1 hero emphatically
deny that any suoh powor exists in the majority pf
any uninstructed delegation, whoro tho delegates
have different constituencies, and, of course, equal
rights and powers. It cannot bo oetablisncd,
either by the law of usage, common sonso, common
reason, or oommon justice. Tho rulo of tho Na
tional Convention of 1852 has boon roferred te ;
but it establishes no suoh prlnoiplo.
Let ns examine: it declares, it is true, in a gene
ral phrase, that “ tho inannor in which the veto is
to be oast, is to bo dooided by each delegation for
Itself.” But this had reforonco specially and im
mediately to tho fact that tho proportionate num
bor of delegates in that Convention w.*3 greatly
unequal. Virginia entitled to 15 votos, had 69 de
legates nresont, acting and voting. North Caro
lina with 10 voles, had 44 delogates; Mississippi
with 7 votes, had 39; from Goorgia thoro was a
doublo delegation numbering 37; and so on
through many other Mates. “Tho manner,”
thorelore, “ in which those ” unwieldy deputations
“should oast their vote.’’ was well and wisely left
to themselves in the first lnatanco. But when tho
real prlnoiplo cf representation was put in issue,
in the dispute raised by the effort of Governor
Floyd, and »• number of others in the Virginia dele
gation, to have their individual or distriot votes
recorded for Judge Douglas, the Convention de
oidod the question upon the true, rational and con
oorvatlyo ground—tho deol&rod sense or wish of the
poople of tne State sending the delogates.
The Convention of 1852 allowed tne whole vote
of Virginia to be deolded by a majority of the de
legation py* because suoh nad boon the uniform
usago in that State, sanctioned by repeated and
definite instructions to that effeot, of her State
Conventions—nover departed from in ft eioglo in
stance. This is undoubtedly the true dootrlne. In
regard to tbePennsylvaniadelogatesto Charleston,
there was no suoh invariable usage to roly upon,
in ascertaining what the people of Pennsylvania
desired upon the subject.
The practice has been for our Stato Conventions
to instruct upon oert&in questions—not to allow the
majority of the delegation, without reference to
brains or experience, to speak for all. In 1848, in
structions were given, I think, in referenoe to the
candidate alone. In 1852. the same thing was
done; and we voted by districts, or as individuals,
upon evory other subject. I remember we divided
upon the conflicting claims of Messrs. Lord and
Rantoul to represent the second distriot of Massa
chusetts ; when Gen. Whitney, (the same whooould
not abide the heresies of Judge Douglas In regard
to nom-iuteryention, recently at Baltimore,) very
pointedly held that Mr, Rantoul’s u private opin
ions” on the fugitive-slave law could notaffeot the
right of the seoond Massachusetts distriot to be re
presented in the National Convention by a delegate
of its own oholoe. I remember, too, we divided
that year in .regard to the admission of the Cobb
and Lumpkin delegation from Georgia ; who Were
finally allowed to oome in, although they had not
a tithe of the right or regularity of the delegation
beaded by Col. Gardiner tho other day at Balti
more, which was in a manner rejected by our com
mittee. And yet, I supposo Messrs. Cobb anl
Lumpkin would at this time hare set down the ad
mission of the Gardiner delegation as tittle short
of treason. Suoh are the ohanges observable evory
day in political Ufe!
In 1866 1 was again a delegate; we were then
Instructed to vote, xtom first to last, for Mr. Bueh»>"
nan as a candidate for the Presidency, in th* Cin

we individualized in voting. Wo .iidAO on the
New- York oase; here, again, mark what changes
transpire on tbo political cneu-boira: Senator
Bayard, of Delaware, made a report on the con
flicting claims to seats of the two divisions of the
New York Demoor&oy—admitting half of eaoh,
and requiring a pieties in advance, fr° m both, to
support the nominations, of the Convention. Tho
Implied obligation resting upon the conscience of
©very true man was insufficient- This ropoyt had
the sanction of soma very prominent Southern gen
tlemen ; the pledge was insisted upon and given.

momly forbore to insist that Mr. Bayard sod Mr.

With what propriety, then, does Collector Baker
purloin and employ in hi. public manifesto, the low
bred, pot-house phrase of California bmith, with
roforenoe to the rale presented h, the Committee
on Organisation allowing nslnetraoted delegates
to vote by distriota? One would have supposed
that the prompt rebuke administered to Safltli !n
open Convention, for having characterised this
very just and proper decision of the committee as
woolduave prevented even Collector
Baber from a deliberate repetition of -the same
offensive phraseology. It may be quite presumptu.
OUfl v j* a oiti * oa Bke myself thus to eritieise

remarking here that ir there be any defect in the
morarconstitutions of the California delegate, and
•■Philadelphia Collector, it consists Is some
thing quite the opposite of en excessive regard for
either courtesy, correctness, or refinement,ln their
public discussions. - p
How was it a “trick,” in any reepect ? Tho
question passed plainly and broadly before the
whole Convention; it was resisted with all the
zeal and eloquence of Collector Baker’s colleague,
the Hon. Josiah Randall. Senator Bigler stood
there, and that sharp logician and ready 'casuist,
Hon. Henry Phillips too, who could have shown
tho impropriety of the rule in our cate, if it bad
been in their power to do so; and those Southern
gentlemen, who have since had so much to say
against this deolsion—why were they dumb in the
hour and on the spot when the issue was presented ?
we were ready then, as now, to vindicate its jds
tideAnd propriety, upon every foot and principle
fn the case.
There really I* no reason for the heartless clamor,
.which has been raised, because a possible majority
of the Pennsylvania delegation was not accorded
the power to gag others, quite as sound and well
instructed upon the questions presented as them
selves! - I e*y possible majority, became I never
have believed that them was a majority who would
have resorted to the odious measure, had the power
been yielded to them. In regard to their personal

trasff there wii astlenn and expteAi Instruction

man doubt that Judge Douglas Jitd pot .in his fa?
vor, at the same moment, a large'majonty of her

lector.Bakor and Senator Bigler, while-they speak
of New York and its united vote, never advert to
the Southern votes at Charleston, which were sup
pressed hj the unit' role; although then wen
nearly, if not quite, as many seeh votes, that would
otherwise have boon cast for Judge Douglas, as it
is olaimed were suppressed in the New York dele
gation.
When Senator Bigler and Collector Baker reeur
to what was done, and what was designed by the
State Convention at Reading, how Is It possible
they can overlook the resolutions then adopted,
which really an unambiguous and expnsi instruc
tions to us all; and to the eleetors nominated, and
the members of the State Central Committee as
well? We,&sdelegates,bodnorightto»4notioD,by
our votes at Charleston or Baltimore, any measure
or doctrine inconsistent with the Reading resolu
tions so enthusiastically and unanimously adopted.
Nor have the electors nominated,by, err .the state
Central Committee created under authority of that
Convention, any right In any way to disregard its
platform of principles.
Now, the Reading resolutions declare in favor of
non-intervention by Congress on the snbjeet of
slavery in the Territories; and they refer ail dis
putes upon this point to the courts. The resolu
tions supported by Messrs. Baker and Bigler, and
their coadjutors at Charleston, and the same upon
whi«h the bolters at Baltimore have pledged
Breckinridge and Lane, declare in favor of djceofe
intervention by Congress or the Federal Govern
ment, irrespective or courts or juries. A distinct
and positive converse of the Reading and Cincin
nati platforms, upon which stand onr .Candidates
fairly and regularly nominated—Douglas and.
Johnson.
And yet, it is gravely proposed to get up a sort
of Siamese-twin arrangement, and ran the same
electoral tioket, with* license to the electors to do
almost anything but their plain and pledged duty.
And who undertakes to give. this license F A part
of a committee selected .seoondarily by an ap
pointee of the State Convention—its chairman, Mr.

ally, more than I do, or will be more ready to

young men of Pennsylvania; and I mean no re
flection upon his political conduct in any way, ex?
'ceptso far as he may depart from the Reading and
Cincinnati platforms inthe presentstruggle, and
in the performance of his very worthy

1 ticn. Much lea have they a right to adopt, fn any

the demand of the Dhruslonists of the Couth in
rogard to a slave code in the Territories. Neither
year constituents nor mine, who approve our action,
nor can any in Pennsylvania of the true believers
in tho doctrine of non-intervention, yield their
sanction, either direotly or indirectly, to this slave
code platform, or the candidates which have beon
placed upon it by the bolters at Baltimore. Bach
a courso at this time, and under oxiating circum
stances, would stamp us liars in all tho past, and
poor, craven tiok-spitties in the present; and not
only lose us the esteem of every independent
mind, but, what is of muoh more importance, our
own Solf-respeot.
Suffer me to recall and review, very briefly, the
course pursued toward thel Northern delegates by
a portion of the representatives of tho South, which
had its fit termination in a bolt and putting an op
position ticket in the field. Democrats from the
Northern States, whoii they enter a National Con
vention, suppose they have a right to do so upon
equal terms and equal footing with those from the
South, or any other section of the country. They
expect, also, when they thus enter, to submit to
the f&ir action of a majority in such a Con
vention, and abide its nominations. This was
tho understanding of your constituency and mine
when they sent us to Charleston. How were we
met in that city the other day ? Therestoodlordly
Alabama at the very threshold, with her ultima
tum fully settled, requiring that wo should con
sider the platform before deciding upon the can
didates; and demanding farther that herexpreesed
views should be gratified, or she would go out, and
so break up the Convention! How shrunken and
pulseless moat be that Northern heart which did
not swell with indignation at these uttered threats
and cavalier demands! What Northern delegate,
with the spirit of oommon manhood in his breast,
but that asked himself, in effect, “ what meat doth
thece Southorn Geesars feed on,” that they have a
right to hold a threat over the heads of others in a
Convention of equals?
The demand of Alabama was for a slave code, or
Congressional protection of slave property in the
Territories, in whioh a majority ot the Southern
delegates, and certain submissive gontlemen of the
Northern and Eastern States, concurred. In fact,
it was required that a material—nay, vital—portion
of tho platform adopted by tho party, with entire
unanimity, in 1856, after six years of anxious dis
cussion, should not only be yiolded up, but direct
ly oppositelprinciplos adopted ! A political code,
which, to tno Northorn Democracy, had become, as
it were, “household words,” whoso sterling and
palpablo truths had alraoet silenced even tho rank
est rovilers of Democracy, must in a moment be
blotted out as false or futile \
la 1856, both parties, North and South, agreed to
leave to the people of the Territories the exclusive
right cf legislation upon the subjeot of slavery
within their own borders. In the emphatic words
of President Buchanan, in bis memorable letter of
acceptance of the nomination— I ''the people of the
To rifones, lHe those of a State , arc to decide
whether slavery shall or shall not exist nntktn
their limits." At Charleston we were called upon
to
“ Wheel about, turn about, jump Jim Crow,”
and say the people of the Territories should not
have this right at all; but that Congress should
legislate upon this subjeot for them—establish a
slave code, in faot—for that is the plain senseof the
demand. Nor did it stop here. Congressional
protection for slave property in the Territories
wan not only required, out “on the high seas,"
and whorever else “ constitutional authority ex
tends.”
You remember sir,—and yonr cheeks mast have
flunked in humiliation, as did those of many other
Pennsylvaniaua on seeing this in a printed slip,
which was at one timo sent through the hall headed
the “ Pennsylvania proposition.” You may remem
ber, too, how soon these slips disappeared, and how
innocent of advocates the preposition fell, amongst
us, when this new sphere of Congressional action in
regard to slavery was disoussed in the lishtfarnish
ed by Judge Magrath’s recent opinion delivered in
the Supreme Court of South Carolina, Inlhboaee of
Captain Corrie—holding that the act of Congress
of iho 15th of May, 1820, in regard to pittcy on
tho high seas, did not apply to tne slave trade pro
secuted between ports of toe Southern States and
others in Afrioa, in whioh slavery was lawful!
Precisely when and where this “high seas”
feature of tho bolters’ platform was droppedrWouM
be ay cry interesting foot to ascertain. it
is, these words t cere dropped out of .the original
creed, leaving, however, “the colored gentleman ”
oarefully ensoonoed under the.indefinite canopy
—“ wherever else Us constifHtiottal authority
extends .” I suppose ifc . &mal?i-ke to this sec
tion that Collector Bakov 1 has Hf« wDce J he
so very lucidly boasts' of sustaining “ a platform
dearly and explicitly defining our position on the
question of State rights in the Territories.
The Alabama ultimata** after respectful dis
cussions; was rejected at Charleston; by a majority
of twenty-seven, and we oalmly and firmly planted
ourselves unon the well-understood and weti-di
traifed Cincinnati platform of 1856. We did at first
Sffer a olauie indicating our willingness (although
the same has always been our understanding of
the obligation) to carry out faithfully the decisions
of the courts upon all questions of property arising
in theTorritories. Some insisted that the Dred Scott
oase covered the whole question; and wo offered
thus to abide the result if that was, or should be
come, the true state of affairs. But no: * l aut Casat ,
ant nihil)” said Mr. Yancey and bis compatriots;
and so walked out of the Convention some thirty or
forty of iUmemhers.
I noed not speak of the ballotings for a candi
date whioh succeeded, exoent to say that Judge
Douglas repeatedly received a majority of a full |
Convention; and from that moment, upon every ;
fair principle regulating suoh bodies, ike reign and
record of faction commenced. How graoefutiy
did Judge Douglas and his friends yield to a bare
majority in 1856; and with what earnestness did
certain Pennsylvania friends of James Buchanan
then declare this liberality should never be forgot
ten! Thank Heaven! conscience has no reproaohes
for me on this subjeot.

Labcasiib CotmTT.—The farmers of this
county, we are informed, ate now engaged in har
vesting ono of tho heaviest crop* of wheat they
have ever raised. With hen and there an ex
ception, where it hxs been knocked down by tba
hail, tho crop Is an excellent one. The straw is
of full growth, and tho heads are well filled, with
out mildew or blight of any kind. Alnady a large
portion of the grain is housed and garnered ingood
ordei. From all sections of tho country—the
North, Sooth, Bast, and West—we have Intelli
gence of an abundant wheat crop. The oats, oorn,
and potatoes, also give promise of an abundant
yield.

smith, who resided, until within a month pact, in
Boalsburg, will confer a great favor upon >»H and
others, by informing us at once. We have in

It is thought that be has fallen heir to certain
properties, and if so, it is highly necessary, for him
to be informed of the fact immediately. We have
traced Mr. Grassier os for as Boalsburg, at whioh
place he resided until within a few weeks. Here
we lose all trace of him, and no one knowa whither
ho went. We think he removed from Boalaburg
some time in Ma y.—Bellefonte Dem., July 12.
Sudden Death.—The Manheim Sentinel says
that on the Ist instant, John Philip Walts, an old
resident of that place, and who lived alone for a
number of yean post, was found dead in his bed.
It appears that the deceased was complaining of
indisposition on the previous evening, and not
making his appearance on Sunday morning, the
neighbors forced open his dwelling and found him
in the state above described. a)eputy Coroner
Eosmingor held an inquest over the body, and a
verdict was rendered by the jury that deceased
died from apoplexy. ■
Centre County.—The weather for the past
week has been very unpropitious, notwithstanding
that thefarmera havajioused nearly all their hay—
and are now busily engaged in gathering in the
golden harvest. - The crops promise an abundant
yield, surpassing the most sanguine expectations
of the community in general. The report that the
weevil had done so much damage to the wheat is
entirely unfounded —the damage has been but
alight.— Bellejonte Democrat.
The crops in Lehigh county, says the Re
gister, sorer looked better or promised a more
abundant yield. Our formers assure ns that the
wheat and oat orops, with few exceptions, will be
more than usually large.
The corn planted before the wet weather set in
is largo and looks fine; that planted subsequent to
the rains is small .and does not promise so well,
though there is no reason to expeot that it will not
mature ana ripen before the fall frosts set in.
Potatoes are growing finely and the prospeo ts for a
fall orop were never more flattering.
