The Club will meet regularly every Saturday night, and it is the intention of the Executive Committee to make the Wigwam, a general reading room and Head Quarters, where all the friends of Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin, will be cordially welcomed, THE TARIFF. Under the resolution of Congress•to adjourn on the 18th inst... but a few days remain of the session, and the Tariff bill which was passed by the Republicine of the House of • Representatives, ; will- be-suffered to eleep -in the _genie, ostensibly for want of time; but in reality because the democrats are not wil ling to recognise a policy that would favor Pennsylvania interests. Weeks ago, the tar iff measure repbrted. by Mr. Morrill, was passed in the House, every Republican urging it forward, and voting for it; it was sent to the Senate. where it was referred to the Fi nance Committee, and there it 'remains un touched, while the time of the session has been wasted iu useless harangues, or personal eontroveries between the Douglas and Anti- Douglas wings of the party. This is but another evidence of the duplicity of the dem.: erratic party, which ha. betrayed'Pennsylva ilia, and sacriticed her beet Interests to con ciliate the South. . Gen. Foster, atufeitheirprominent democrat. have been at Washington, professedly to urge the Senate to pass the tariff bill, but their sin cerity rusty well be doubted, when We look back at their former opposition. The whole thirg is a shnormovement to help the election of Gen. Foster, and the vote in the House is amply sufficient to show the real positioir of the party, on that subject. .Fer the new Tariff Bill.— . 91 Republicans & People's Party men • 6 Americana., 2 Democrat'. 6 A uti-Lecoroptonitee. • . • Against the new Tariff 51) Democrrate. . • • Anti•Leoomptonite 1 American'. 8 Roppblioane One suo'. filet tells more truth, than all the tariff resolithnts passed at Democratin State sod county conventions, for the last throe _ .

The so • called democratic party has been power now nearly eight years, and the fruits of its policy are now felt in a prostrate industry; a paralyzed ' commerce a bankrupt treasury, and a largo and steadily increasing national debt. - • - . The domestic peace and harmony that witnessed the restoration of the party now in power, have beeti . Wantonly exchanged for sectional discord and fraternal strife . ; and oven the sacrecrlandmarks of the Constitution have been blotted put, in the systematic ef. fort of the government to spread the blight er slavery over thefree territory, i defiance of the popular will. . Corruption has gained undisputed m ' tery , in almost every department of power,. qd stamped its fearful stain indelibly upcqi-the, government ;.. and shameless profligacy has given us national bankruptcy at honse,, and national dishonor'abroad. • The time has coin() when a thorough . reform is unmistakably demanded by the people.— In this great .work, Pennsylvania Must, as' ever, be potential.' Always loyal in the last ,degree, to the maintenance of the national Union, mid to the coidOremises of the laws, hee.people have no warfare to wage upon the rights of sister States.

Our free labor is the basis of all our wealth, our prosperity, our greatness. • , It has trusted and appealed in vain. to the party in power to protect it. Its confidence has been ever betrayed, its interests.ever sacrificed. Our untold • millions of slumbering. wealth, and our nnemploybd and unrequited labor, are swift . Witnesses to the suicidal policy that .as impoverished us. • The studied purpose of the 'national admin istration has been Co sectionalize the govern• meat, and give ',Mindless dominion to a sys• tem that has dishonored and beggared - free industry wherever its desolatitig steps have gone. . . . . June 'll, 1860. Against this fatal- sectionalism the friends of a diversified and prosperous industry have protested without Nothing but a radical changeof administration can give reasonable promise of respect for the great industrial interests of our State, and redress from- the. endless train of evils flowing from the faith.. lesiness alb° government. - - The territories of the great west teem with beauty and richness. There, with free homes; our sturdy sons d rear new empires-to pour forth eir boundless - wealth, and add to the prosperity And true greittness.of our boasted Republic. They have escaped the withering blight of servile labor thus far; only by defying the whole power of two detnocratc Administrations and leaving a history crim soned with the blood of our brethren. Failing to subdue,, even by force, the strong arms that are there scattering the rich fruits of peaceful and enlightened indestry, the Constitution itself has been ~assiiiled, and its sacred aims - perverted. to sectionalize the GM ,nation. The startling declaration is „ now made by the party inriver,through its official exponents, tio ‘ t the Constitution must defaat the wise and benefichnt purposs of its authors, and carry servile labor, under its own broad shield, into every territory in the Union. =I To restore the government - to its ori*inal .purity; to redeem it from its fatal hosttlites "to the interests of free labor; from the cot , rupticin r dhe profligacy, and the sectionalism which-have marked the party in power,are the great purposes of the Peoples' organization in Pennsylvania... To this patriotic end, we invoke the nid end co•operaticiii3Of all who de. sire to• join hi a common cause, to inaugurate a liberal, just, and faithful government. Our' standaritbearers fitly represent the vital issues involved in the struggle. They command the enboundedleonlidenceof friends and the respect of foes. Even partisan mat. ice is impotent to assail them. 1 hat Abralin Lincoln, the nominee for President, is spot.' less in both public and private life, and that he is "honest and capable" is confessed as with One voiek'by his countrymen.. 4. Hin well: earned national fame, the offspring of no fortuitods circumstances, points to him as the "coming man " Who will administer the goy, eminent honestly, frugally and faithfully, and restore the Republic to domestic tranquility, to prosperity and to honor. True to these great measures of reform is Hannibal Ham. lin, our candidate for Vice President,, as is shown by his long and consistent public ca• reer in the councils of the nation; - 1 Andrew G. Curtin, onr nominee for Gov otter, has given . a life time of earnest, untir ing effurtslo the intereste - af free labor. He has advocated, in every contest, with all his matchless power, the true principles of gov ernment, ae declared by the convention that has placed him before the people. • Measured by the highest standard, he is faithful and qualified. He will bo in front of the,battre, bearing our standard..aloft, and defending our cause: We have but to join him in his efforts with zeal worthy of our principles, and he will lead us to a decisive victory in October. • Whether our opponents will enter the con• testunited or divided, our duties a•td dangers will be the same. In any event, the triumph of the Right:will be resisted with the spirit desperationY Alined with all the power and. corrupt appliances of the government, they will leave no means untried,mo effort unem• ployed, to perpetuate their ascendency.. Al though rent' asunder with intestine feuds, antagonized north and south by irreconcilable differences of principle, and bleeding from wounds inflicted within their own household.— yet, there is one common bond of union that will rally their discordant forces when all else fails.:--that is " the cohesive Power- of public plunder." Our cause is worthy of an earnest, united effort. Our languishinkindfietry, our home less laborers, our bankrupt treasury, our na tional tranquility and national honor demand it. With early, systematic and thorough organizationYby which the truth can bit Ms geminated in every section of the:Btate, we cannot fail to, triumph. Let the efforts of our friends be directed without delay, and in Whatever shape, and under whatever flag, ou r opponents may determine to meet us, the ibice of the Keystone State will give a decis. ive victory' to the cause, alike in the State and national 'struggles.

NEW TOEIT AND TES WEST: 'We ere glad to pereieve, from various indl: cations. that Now Yorkers, at least in some of their aepa'rtmenta,,,,liave -h ro een aroused' to the necessity of constructing a railroad to the West, which °hall lie the ehorteat and the best that she can hare to meet thaPsoido railroad at St. Louis. For ninny years that city has been trying to receive the full western ti.ade through her branch railroads in the State, and has forgotten that it is necessary to the 'at taintneet of the western trade that elie should .hare the shortest route to it. In the New York . Central, she has now a road, which by diverging one Inindred and fifty miles north, and continuing an that par liel, yields. to her some , trade. .Io the Arlo road she has a Magnificent humbug. And there diverges nearly its far north with more objeo• tionable grades. . But there is no reason why one people should not build A railroadtihro' anotberStata if that State.consents.

' The chain of connection is ni follows, and. the people along the line are willing to'do. their part towards it : . The New Jtrsey 'tral - attends to Easton directly west. The' Lehigh Valley, Eastern Pennsylynnia and: Lebanon Valley extend to Harrisburg. The. Cumberland Valley road extends south west. from Harrisburg, and, the route through Sher:' mun' s e Valley has been - surveyed and found Either route, were it extended to the crossing,of the Alleghenies, indicated by the Connellevillo railt:oad rind. tunnel :already oonstrhoted, would furnish a route shorter by twenty miles to Pitteburg, and by fifty miles to Wheeling, than the Pennsylvania railroad,. and near two hundred miles shorter than either of the New York roads. The construction of - thie road is sure. It is but a work of time; but the Grand Trunk railroad haring been constructed from Port land, Maine,•to Detroit, Mich , with Dia pros pect of completion to the Pacific at an' early , day; is it not • time New York was astir to construct her shortest route, and is it not ex pedient for Congress to pass a Pacific railroad bill at the earliest possible day, that England may not be ahead of ua to that ocean f Thesn'things should be .:considered by our greatest-and most wealthy city, and we ,fully believe that a little corinideration woula.lead to the 'oonstruction of the greet central route, through Pennsylvania, that we might have the shortest,possible road to the rich valleys of the Missisafppi avid to the Paiii4o.- The time has nowcome, and we (rust to see, our own citizens and thdie of New York awake to interests.

TILE OLD COLLEOE.—Workmen are now engaged in demolishing this old building, and although part of it was erected' nearly ninety years ago the limbers Are just awund as the day they were placed there. Theflaraol. Directors intend to erect a new building on the site of the old one, with a front of 58 feet, and increasing Hitt depth 1J feet beyond the old line. • The now building will furnish com modious rooms for , four schools, and will be fitted up with air flues, registers and other improvements to promote the health and cons fort of the pupils.

Mr. Robert Moore identi fied one of the women, as the person who bad bought a pair of shoes, at his store and given him a ten-dollar bill in payment; the same par ties endeavored to have another bill changed of the same amount, nod as Mr. Baker states, that there were three ten dollar notes in the' pooket.bbelt, it ib morn than" probable, that the suspicions against them are well founded. A WORD IN SEAVN.—We are aware that a prejudicd exists in the minds of some, against all persons ° alipointed to take the ' census; a few are fearful that thd object is to increase taxation, while others, bot aware - of the duty of the Marshals, consider their ques tions useless or impertinent and therefore re fuel° to answer. Now the enumeration of the inhabitants, and the collection of the agricul tural and manufacturing statistics every ten years, as required by the Government. aro especially important, as showing the growth and prosperity of the country; and as every one is directly interested in this'inatter, they should afford the marshals every facility to -make-a-Gill-and true return, instead of throw— ing obstacles in the way. Maj. E. S. Eon and Mr. E Suowan, who are now engaged in the work of taking the census of the borough, and • townships in the vicinity; are courteous and polite gentlemen, who have no disposition to annoy any one with questions, except dacli as are absolutely ne cessary to enable them to carry out the re quiremente of the law of Congress. Teti AILANTRUS.—This tree is prized by tow for two reasons, it grows luxuriantly untient pavement, and is freo . from vermin ; hut, it is very much doubted whether those good qualities , should allow of its use as a shade tree, when its effect on the general health of the community is questioned. By en investigation into 'the qualities of this tree, at the ichoollif,Medicine in Paris, it was ascertained that its bark contained a re latile oil, which was so.deleteriouS in its effects that the assistants who had the evaporation of the extract under their care would be seis ed with vertigo and vomiting whenever they came in contact with the vapors. There is no doubt that it is on Account of 'the natural evaporation of this powerful oil that so many- objestio having the tree near' their resld enoed.

TUE 4111 of JULY.—But four weeks will intervene until we hail the return ing anniversary of our National Indepen dence; and yet: we see no efforts made to celebrate it in a becoming manner. Alen are eo eager in the pursuit of riches that they for get our National Sabbath, and the weight of filthy lucre seems to have crushed out the last eptirk of patriotism. Now, when disunion rare its hydra•hoad, threatening destruction to the temple erected by fathers of the Ite'vo lotion, should we assemble around the altar of '76, and pledging fidelity to the Union, kin dle anew the watch-fires of liberty. Let ue for one day forget party feeling, and in, a spirit becoming American Freemen, join in an old fashioned 4th of July celebration; for one day ' let the inherir leave his shovel and pick, the mechanic his shop, the merchant his store, and the professional man his books, and amid the stirring tones of eloquence,' or around the fes tive board, revive the reoollectioniOf former daye,when liberty web prizel as !leaven's beet boon to man, and instil into the minds--of the youngand ardent, the bleisings of freedom as inseparable from the Union. :"1 The apathy, wbiuh has characterized the ob serrance of this day. for some years, would almost go to show that our national pride has been wiped out. Let it not be 'aid that the people forget the obligations they owe to the founders 'Ol the Republic; but, let the prophecy of the old patriot Adams., be fulfilled, by ushering in Iheday with "the ringing of bells, the blazing of bonfiroc, and the firing of can• non.", TRYING FEMALE COLLEGE.—The cat ; alogue of this Institution for 1859-60 has been issued, and affords gratifying evidence of the growth and prosperous condition of the College.
