holiday in the village, rrtien the lady oleic George Ar cher brought him en heir.—a lovely child. But danger hovered round the mother.. She knew not when her babe first Saw the light, throbs was raving and delirious. Before_hot_confittetnent slight evidences had been observed of the mania sometimes attenditig her condition, but it soon Increased, and the became io lent that they were obliged to put bet_ under severe to. strai n t. She talked strange things, too, so that these whe lie-, toned to het look edin each other's faces. and became frightened. But the doctor said this was common in her disease, and they mast take ho notice of what she said He ordered that neither friend nor stranger should enter her apartment, but the nurses already engaged; and after a time he had her removed to a distant part of the house, and the crevices of the doors were carefully cov ered and padded, *.for,"_said he, "the noises and bustle of the house may disturb her." The madness of the puerperal state is peculiar for its frequent apparent intermissions. The maniac becomes subdued, quiet. and seemingly harmless, so that the evil spirit might be supposed to have suddenly gone out of her, and left her in her right mind. But the truth is, that at this time she improbably more insane thin at any other. Alice one day asked for her child. She had been ra ving furiously, but she now made her request in so sub dued and gentle a tone, that tho ramie thoug'at "it might perhaps do the poor soul good to' have it, for a tittle while." But scarcely had she placed it in its mother's arms, before she remembered how constantly she had been warned against yielding to such an entreaty. Ter ror /*sized her, and she would have recovered the infant. But her over-anxiety was fatal. Alioe shrieked' with laughter, sad in a row moments it was dead in her bo som. hinny months passed away, and eller lying long in state of weakneu nigh unto death, the senses of the childless mother, returned. Her first solicitude was res pecting her hifaut, and she made signs that be should be brought, for she had not strength to speak. They were prepared for this demand, and had determined not to break the truth to her until she could hatter sustain the news of its death;, how it had died she was never to know. So they brought her a babe, and she caught it to • her bosom and covered it with kisses, and her tears fell like rain. . . But a cold'ehudder ran through all who were at her bedside, when they perceived that she was holding it al most at arms' length, and iegarding it with a strangely wild and and suspicious gaze. She drew it nearer,—oho peered breathlessly into its eyes, andlelt the silken hair upon his head. A secoud and a third time she Intently examined every feature. And when Alice raised her pale face, with a look which node could misuuderstand, they fall on their knees,--they implored her forgiveness, and told her that her child had berm lung in the grave. Alice summoned her dying powers, and uttered a few words. Her, last request was that her babe might be taken from the vault whom it was deposited. and laid with her in the churchyard of the village in wh.ch her girlhood had beeit passed. She then closed her eyes, and while her lips wore moving in prayer, her injured spirit escaped. Ono who bent down to listen what words she uttered, repor , ed that, though ho could only distinguished a faint —a Very faint whisper, she was speaking of some friend, —ho could' not catch the name,—who had "told her of a mooting, 'whore there was uoithor marrying, nor giv ing in --.' " Alice was herielf an angel in Heaven before she could complete the sweet passage. Deeply had she awed; i will not deny that. But there was one above who knew how gore she had been (erupted, and who knew also the wortkness,—the utter helplesineas of humanity. So in a few days more, a long line of mourning carri ages; and a hearse with nodding plumes, attracted the cottagors to their doors, and they heard that it was poor Alice Stewart come back to them. And when the burial of the dead was ended, and the mourners began to leave the grave side, they crowded round, and tears of honest sorrow fell upon the podia, from eyes which had seldom wept before. Many years afterward,—.l can scarcely tell how many. it might have been eighteen or twenty,—a stranger was early ono morning found dead in the churchyard. Ho had died a violent death, but hie own hand was his mur derer. The circumstance made a groat noise at the time, for such a thing in the secluded hamlet had never been heard of before. He was dressed richly, and ap peared to be scarcely arrived at the prime of life. His complexion was sun-brunt, as if he had been long in foreign countries; but his features were calm and placid. When the body was first found, his lips were preSsed upon the cold turf of a grave. Perhaps this was aci -1 dental;--or it might been he knew Something of th e e who slept below: But the majority thought this latt r supposition impossible; for they had been buried ma y years, and the wounds of a death-broken friendship mu t have healed long before. A tablet of white marble at tl e head of the grave, told that it was sacred to the memo • of Alice,—also "to &child who died in infancy." SALM OF PIG IRON The Pittsburg Poet says, upon the occasion of the recent visit of Gen. Tay for to this city, the "Iron Masters," as ow readers will remember, embraced the opportunity, to whisper in the ears of the cre dulous old man a most dismal tale in relation to the awful "ruin" that has been produced by the Tariff of 1846: 'They made . a report, in which they stated that sales of "good pig iron are made at $2O per ton." This statement was copied into the columns of the Post, and produced an item from the columns of the same paper, of the same date, reporting a sale 01196 tons of Clinton (ff. ft. c. b.) metal at $27, 6 mos." ''hereupon the Federal prints altedged that the sale in question was of a superior article p of pig metal and that $2O was the actual Selling pri ces as stated by the "Masters," in the American of Tuesday we 'loathe following under the head of "general review of the 'markets," to, which we re spectfully call the attention of Zachary 'Washing ton: Pie Inos.—The long continuance of low water has brought what little metal on hand into market. and iv° Italie the following sales since our last:- 160 tons ,Buchanan at $25, 6 mos. to Wheeling; 102 tons Mill Creek at $25, cash: 100 tons .Ship ', penville at $25, 6 mos; 13 tons Texas (Venango) at $92, 6 mos; 167 tons Jefferson and Buchanan at 1 $95, 6 mos; 100 tone Shippenville, in small lots to foundries at $25, 6 thee; 111 tons, a mixt • lot in trade fur Bar and Nails. About 160 tone of Ship . peuville remain unsold, which comprises nearly all of Allegheny now in market. Now, let Gen. TAYLOR compare tho facts here net forth from a Whig paper, with the Munchausen statement of the "Iron Masters," and he must cer tainly come to the conclusion theta gross and wick ' ed attempt was made to lead him estray in relation to the price of pig iron, while he was in this city. Since the above was in'type we have conversed 'with a gentleman who is engaged in the iron trade to a considerable extent, and he reports to us a sale, within Al few days past, of 100 tons of Allegheny pig iron at $26, cash. He states that the report of the "Iron Masters," made to President TAYLOR was lacking in truth and fairness—it was a mere politi cal trick, intended to deceive and tnislead the Exe cutive. The same gentleman informs us - that he made sales of pig iron at $23 per, ton during the time that, the much lauded Tariff of 1842 was in • oPeratioin Here are feels that are worthy 'of the consideration of the President.and Congress.'

She .was to have left Halifax for New York'at 8 o' clock on the same evening The Cambria has 72 passengers for N. York. The news is far , from - being of an exciting or pleasing character. It is indeed, a melancholy ab stract of one week's intelligence. 'Nero is nothing in it to please a republican, or give any hope to any but a monarchist. Now that the brave Hungarians are crushed, the emperors and kings are calling their princes together to rivet the chains of -the fallen: they are already beginning to alter the map of Zurap". The cholera was greatly increasing in England. The deaths in London, for the week ending on the 7th inat. i were 2, '797, of which 1663 were of chol era. •InLiverpool the deaths by cholera were said to be greater in proportion than in any part of Eng land. In Dublin it was on the increase. Several distinguished persons have died of cholera in Part. and in other parts Of France. Vienna and Berlin are at the present time greater-sufferers than Paris. At Berlin the deaths are over forty a day. The markets were dull, and without much change. The weather fur harvesting was fine in all parts of (heat Britain. At-FAIRS IN AILIVIIIIA.COMOITI at the West and Peterwarden at the South, still hold out. The for mer continues to be commanded by Kiapka; the lat ter was commanded by Kish. The Russian General, Berg, had a long interview with Kish on the 23d ult., the result of which , was that an Hunga ian Major was sent to General Hay nau to arrange era's for the capitulation of the ' im pregnable posit nof Cnmorn, which induces Klapka to demand good conditions. A letter from Vienna, of the 31st ult., states that several of the Magyar chiefs had been executed.— Among them are ex• Minister of Justice Pobobieh, and General Dawianich, who had been @hot. General lnwich who gave up the fortress of Es seg, to the Magyars, had been taken to Vienna in chains. The mother end children of Kossuth, and the wives of 'several Maay.ar Generale, and arrived as prisuners at Prosbortr. There was some talk of Gen. Guyulai being ap pointed civil and military gorernor—[the despatch dues not may of what place.] The greater part of the Russian army had receiv ed orders to march towards GalHeim, but the corps d'arnaee of Gen. Rudiger wan to remain at Mickolez at'the nurth, and Grosawnrdein at the east; Buda and Peeth, in the west, are to hare a garrison of three thousand men. . The' Hungarian corps of the gallant Perczel en tered Orsova, but the Turkish authorities would not receive them until they had laid down their arms. Goriey's surrender was known at Cotnorn on the 18th, and a. summons was sent to the garrison, either'to follow h:s example or to send in their terms of capi i tulation. Tile answer, given on the 19th, was as "No official communications as to the position of affairs near the lower Danube, and in tho Banat, has reached uP, and, until we know what has taken place there, we cannot, without incurring the charge of treachery to the fatherland, consent to treat in thp-name of the counsel of war." Klapka and those members of the late Hungarian Diet who had declared that the house of Hapsburg ,had forfeited all claim to the throneof Hungary, and . wlnf Russia handed over to the Autrian authori ties' had been conveyed to Peath .

The Gazette of the 26th, publishes an order of the government regulating the departure by sea of persons who intended to avail themcelvei-of 'the ar tides of capitulation. Those who desire to proceed to Corfu, Palms, or Alexandria, in Egypt, will be conveyed at the expense of the Austrian govern ment. For all other places, the expense of the voy agemust be defrayed by the parties themselves: Tits GEHMARIC Urnox.—A provisional arrange ment has been conclUded between Prussia and Au.. tria, on the German question. There is to be a Direc tory consisting of members for the confederation, provided by the cabinets of Vienna and Munich, and it is to hold its sittings at Frankfort. The Directory will be a permanent executive commission for the common interest of the, whole of Germany. The States who adhered to the restricted confederation under the direction of Prussia, will have' between, them ' three votes, and Austria, Darla, Wurtetnburg, and t he other small States, will have together, four votes;' such as least, is the proposition of Austria. The Presidency of the Directory, will be vested al ternately in Austria and Prussia. This will notalter the relations as to the common legislation, and the executive authority vested in the confederation. The Austrian government engages to persuade the Arch Duke John to resign his dignity of Vicar of the Empire. The Frankfort correspondent of a London paper writes, on the 31st:— 'There is little doubt that a Congress of Princes will be held here in the course of next week, for the pnrpose of finally settling the German question.— The arrival of the Archduke John and Prince ,Carl of Bavaria, is confidentally expected to-day. The Prince of Prussia received visits yesteday from the Dukes ofNaseeu and Soso *fileiningen. Tne duke of Nassau returned this morning to Welabaden.-- The Duke of Saxe Meiningen - conferred with the Prince for more than en hour and a half." The coinmittee of Aldanberg Chamber has unan imously reccommended the rejection of thepropoai don of Prussia, Sattotiy and Hanover, to join the confederation. A letter from Hamburg states that part of the Prussian forces had left that city, and that the Prus sian garrison was to be reduced to 4,000 men. The Prussian 'government has addressed a cir cular to all that have not finally adhered to the fed eration which it proposes, declaring that it expects to (receive definite answers before the 15th inst., at which period it will consider the protocol closed, and proceed at once to the practical estab lishment of the cooktieration • AFFAIRS in Rona.—On the 21st ult General Oudi not officially announces his departure from Rome.--. M. Savelli, the Pope'a Minister of the Interior, has arrived, and installed himself as head of the Police, . ut entirely under the control of the French author 'ties. His first decree was regarding the paper money, and says that the State guarantees notes for their declared value, and imposed a fine and impris onment on all who refuse to take them when tender ed for payment. A military commission has been established for reorganising the Roman troops. All promotivea since the 19th November is annulled, until the com misaion shall have reported upon the conduct of each man, Which, it found satisfactory, will enable him to regain his rank. The Triumvirate of, Cardinals has instituted a commission for the purpose of prosecuting the au thors and accomplices of the outrages committed du ring the revolutionary period, against religion, its ministers, the majesty of the soverign, and public security.

AN OLD ADAGE PrIODIFIED.—In times of old, before Tailors, and Hatters, and Shoemaker., became the paymaster's of Fashion's orders. it was a true adage that "mind made the mon—tho want of it the fellow," but the "good old days of Adam and Eve" have passed. and with thorn the truth of our text. It now reads "Good clothes made the man—the want of thorn, the fellow!" We rodollect a case in point of 'our own experience. Some years since whoa we wore younger. and fino clothes more expensive then now, we had, through caus es unnecessary to mention, Winne a rather shabby looking customer. Our coat, the only ono we had, glo ried in sundry rents, and our unmentionables were as threadbare as the Bull of a Bank president. Our hat was. a "shocking bad hat." and as to our' boots—wolf, if our big-toe did'nt play boo-peep through tho holes iu them, the fault lay in the strength of the stocking rather than in that of the calfskin. As to our shirt. like Gen. Tay lor's at -New York. it was dirty "some. In a word, we were a fine specimen of hard-up jour Printer.. In this plight, which did not incommode us much it is true, for like the old lady's eels, we had become uslid to it, we met upon the street a couple of lady acquaintances of long standing—in fact wo had know them from child hood up—and not having soon them for a year or so, we very innocently striped, bowed and hold out our hand. But. Christopher Columbus, what a "suck ia"—iu the vernacular of the "b'hoys," they passed us . with a swing that would haie made Fanny Eisler "howl." They were not acquainted with our clothes, that was certain. It is true, we could'nt blame them much, for we had long before found that it was the way of the world. Now for the application. If any of our friends have a "shock ing bad" coat, a :threadbare vest, - a dilapidated pair of pants, or are in any way out at the elbow in the CLOTHING fine. and had rather be recognized by their fashionable lady acquaintances. than "cut" as we were, all they have to do is to call upon our friend JUS TICE, in Brown's Block, where they will find every thing to make a man of thorn, according to the new read ing of the adage! Remember "good clothes make the man, the want ofthom the fellow." There, John. that's a puff; "u is a puff." We'll take that vest. LET THEM READ THlS!—While the orators end. editors of Taylorism are shedding crockadilo tears by the hogshead and pipe over the ruin brought upon' the labor er by the present revontio laws, would it not be well to turn there eyes to facts like the following, and see if there is not more ways than ono to oppress the labor of this country, and put money iu the pockets of the "pau pers of the old world." We copy it without further come at. From the New York Sun—A Taylor paper. MORN 01 , Tile Ftll/11"9.-1( seems to us that the present authorities at Washington are doing their best to satisfy at least the city of Now York. of their utter incompetency to manage our foreign relations, except upon a system which pays no respect to the interests of this great com munity, so closely bound up with foreign Commerce.— The virtual seizure of the steamship Unithd Slates, the first anti-liberal demonstration of the Cabinet, was in itself a blow upon this season's ship building business, from which lit will take our artizans, manufacturers and merchants iso httle 'time to recover. Tho agents of both the belligerents in This case; were at the time in the New York ship building market, making preparations for the construction of four or more war steamer* of the largest class. When the Goveinment at Washington, by de manding the security exacted of the owners of the United States, made it known that the builthire of New York should not sell ships of war to foreigners who tnight be engaged in hoetilities—(that being the plain meaning of the action of the United States' District Attorney in that caso)—the preliminary contracts for the hulls of these vessels wore, of course, abandoned. and the agents of the foreign governments, of necessity, Immediately gave tho work to the English, which they preferred should havi been executed by the mechanics of Now York.— To say that the builders, riggers, engine makers. &c., of this city wore injured to the extent•of two million dollars by the course pursued by the Government in this matter of the steamship United States, is not an over estimate of the damage already inflicted upon them by the "reticle ry" predisposition of the present Cabinet. The- injury of our citizens is a matter not lightly to be passed over; the Cabinet should think twice before it thus takes the bread from the mouth of our poor mechanics. It is intimated that the Poussin difficulty had its origin in females. M. Poussin and his Secretary, it is claimed had women in charge on first going to Washington, whom respectable people were not exactly willing to re ceive.' This may, however, be the invention of some personal enemy. The difficulty has probably been per manently adjusted, and so lot it pass.—Gazette. 0, yes, "lot Rims" by all means! Mossieur Poussin, and Mr. Secretary Clayton, quarrel about a wanton. wheroat Zachary Taylor, the peace President, the "Se cond Washington," under whose administration the "country feels safe," gets into a touring passion and gives Mr. Poussin notice that his passports are ready.—that it President Bonaparte don't learn him better manners than to interfere with the amours of the Cabinet, he'll give the whole frog-eating French nation a lickin' quick er than he would one of his refractory Diggers. 0, yea, "let it pus," its only another fizzle of this "Heroic Age" —they have become so common of late that they create no more surprise than a harmless squib on the 4th of July. "Let it pass," of course—its only another Lady Franklin affair. r. Oration invasion by the Penney's*. nian Dutch! or something of the kind.

' • THE APPROACHING CONTEST: One week from Tuesday the general election of this commonwealth will tale place; and. as we have act troubled our readers much. thus far, with appeali in favor of our candidates ,and, principleui. it Is but just to both that we should give them a parting word ere the people decide for or against them. Though attended with no excitement—though the public pulse is all unruffled— and quiet reigns on the political face of our State—the contest is noverthelessimportant. and should call out a candid and free expression of the popular opinion at the ballot-box. thie year ago, the people of the Keystone wore called upon to support a candidate for President. who was pledged as strong ise'llinguage 'coteld pledge a man to bo the "President of the people, and not of a party." In his appointments. and in the distribution of thepatronage of the government, he was not to know or enquire whether a Man was a Democrat or a whig. but whether .he was boiieet and capable! Ho was to remove no man for opin ion a sake. but by pursuing a Contrary course. ho was to introduce:an era of good feeling in politics, unprece dented, as well as unparalleled in the mall of political warfare. Under his benign administration the political I lion and lamb were to lay down together. In the lan guage of Gov. Crittenden, of Kentucky. Gen. Taylor , 1 "hsted,'loathed proscription"—"he loved the free in. dependent utterance ofepinion"—"he had," continued that distinguished advocate, "commanded whip and Democrats on the field of battle—had witnessed their pa - triotie devotion, and iqvincible courage. while standing together, .shoulder to shoulder ' hadseen them fight, bleed and die together; and 'God forbid that he should proscribe any man on account of a difference of political sentiments. He would as soon think." said the speaker, "of running from a Mexican!" Such were the pledges and promises of Gen. Taylor and his friends before the election. Many, carried away by his deeide of valor in a war they deemed necoaeary and just, listened to the min song of the tempter, and believed them. They laid aside, for the time being, and for a future occasion, their opposition to the measures and .1 principles of the whig party, and enrolled themselves under the banner of the victorious General. But how 1 hiw that confidence on their part been requitted? How has the General dims elevated acted the part of the Pre sident? Eveiy pledge given, he has broken—every pro is.l me made, ho has violated, until now, pledges and pro ., inure have become a by-word and a reproach! So far front not-"yielding himself to party schemes," he has made the Council chamber at the White House the place , of meeting for the vilest political cabal that ever ruled the political destines of the action. So far from not "yielding himself to party schemes," he has surrender ed himself, and the duties prescribed to him by the con stitution, into the hands of a partizan cabinet, irreeponsi blel to the people, and in whose elevation they had no voice; and thus it can be said, that there is at this time " a l power behind the throne greater than the throne itseif!" Instead ofnot "proscribing men for opinion's ' sake s' it has only been necessary to prove a man a , Democrat to secure his removal, sad his place filled by l e orowliug federalist. Instead of making "honesty and capacity a prerequisite for • the bestowal, of office," it is notorious that many of his appointments hare been denounced by his own friends as neither "ho no4 nor capable." In short, as we hay° before remark ad, Ids pledges have been treated as idle tales to catch the multitude, and those who firmly relied upon his wor l d, have found it but a broken reed! It is for the peo ple l ef Pennsylvania, at the approaching election, to either condemn or approve this stupendous political "swindle." It Will bo for them to declare whether our ancient corn moinl wealth shall remain a party to this fraud upon the couhtry! If Mr. Faller, the whig candidate for Canal CoMmissioner, shall be elected, it will be . immediately proclaimed as an approval or the coarse of Zachary Tay lor.land his irresponsible advisers. If he should be de fsated,as we trust and believe he will be,and that staunch Detnocrat, and capable man, JOHN A. Gastat.r. elected. Pennsylvania will be redeemed, and the foul blut placed npo l n her hitherto pure political escutcheon by the dupli city) of the President, . will be' obliterated, and she once more enrolled as the Keystone of the Democra ticl Arch. This, Fellow-Democrats, of Erie county is mul l of the questions upon which your voter will have a beari n g in the Approaching contest. But it is not the only ono. Mr. Fuller's election 'will bo construed into an approval of whig measures, state and national. We shal again have the whigs clamoring at the door of the cap tol for a restoration of that odious doctrine of "pro. 1 tection, for protection's sake,"—for tho .distribution of the Iprocoods of the pnblic lands for the purpose of buy inglim states—for a national paper currency, to regulate our domestic exchanges, and the thousand and one other schres of the few—the wealthy—to extort money from poo eta of the many—the poor! As to our State affairs,' we presume the four years °Mitoses misrule has satis fied yea that there is danger in trusting the a ff airs of a Sto, or the management of our public works in the hands of such mon! Mr. Fuller is wedded to the inter. este' of the political gamblers who eurronnded and used that weak old man for their nefarious schemes of public plunder. and although there will still be a majority of our canl board Democratic, there is danger in the trial—the tru policy is, "taste not, handle not the unclean thing." , i Ae to our county ticket, wo repeat what we said last I we k, rote form It is euperior in every. respect to that of y j our opponents, and although it may not succeed, it will not he any fault of ours! The true Democrat—and if t era is any in the State, we have them in Erie county, —1 ahem ready to proclaim his principles by voting for candidetee who profess them, whether there is a pro. peccef their election or not. Let the county ticket, the afore, receive a hearty support at your ands. - Ltr. BUFFALO ANDERIS ItAtutoan.—The route, most ly .n the North side of tho main road, has boon survey ed i t hrough, and the engineer, says the Bahl° Commer cial is now engaged in making a profile of the route. prerratory to making an estimate of the eat of the work.

ADDRZS3O OF THE DEMOCRATIC' STATE" CENTRAL COMMITTEE. DEMOCRATS or PFANSTLVANIA: • The issue is once more made in our good old Com monwealth, and it remains for yen to fay whether it shalt be redeemed or not. This issue Is not a new one, although it may be presented under a different aspect. It. has been the constant unchanging object of the Democratic Party, in this country, over since the days of Thomas isrreasos. to establish upon a firm basis, and to put into successful practice that fundamental doctrine Of the Declaration of . independence, and all men are born politically, Taxi and squat.; and while a diver sity of objects somewhat local in their character, may have temporarily changed the issues front time to time, there never has been a contest in which this importan t principle has not been involved directly or indirectly.— The questions of Banks. Tariffs, an IndepandentTrea eury. distribution of the proceeds of the sale of Public Lands, Internal Improvements &e., &c., have agitated this country fur many years; and yet viewed in the ab stract, good democrats are often at a loss to see what danger can accure to their principles lot. these measures be sueoceeful or not. Few look below the surface of things; but those whe do, see in these measures a foun dation os which is to be erected the superitructure of privileged clung and privileged interests. The &mu ricy has never changed its name or objects: They are universal sufferer and political equality. Federalism is opposed to both—at first openly, but of late , under 'revi ew, guises and changes of names. In the early days of our government, the enemies of democracy openly declared their distrust of the people, and labored to restrict popular rights end privilodges icy legislative enactmentsi Thoy failed—and the whole history, of federalism,under the different names of Fed eralists, National Republicans Whigs,Democratic Whigs and Taylor Republicans, has been untiring labor to do that indirectly which could not be done directly, to wit: by establishing corporations without restrictions, they hope to control the finanuee, trade and legislation of the country, and to smoother individual enterprise; by hav ing a particular class of interests placed under the spe cial protection of government, they hopo through them to rule the country; and control all other • interests by -a vast sateme of internal improvementer.they hope to create huge monopolies of monied interests, which in the end must corrupt the government, demoralize the people.'aud ultiniately sap the personal independence of the masses, which is the only sure basis of a republican government. Ou all these issues whether presented directly or indi rectly, the democracy have triumphed, and it, was their highest pride under the late administration to point to the records of their country for the success of every.Demo ensile measure, and to point to tho unexampled prosper ity and happiness of the people for the fruits of these triumphs. There always have been and always will be, at least two parties In a free government, and in ours the democ racy represents the messes. It is the province of the other party under whatever name it may be known, to take care of privileged classes and privileged interests. , In the success of these measures the democracy have nothing to fear, they have always triumphed and always will; but when issues nie abandoned and a military here, professedly without political principles, is presented to the people and claims their suffrages fur his wait ary ser vices, our rulers may change, but our principles never; and such has been the result of the late Presidential and gubernatorial elections. The country never was in a state of higher prosperity than it is at present; peace hap piness end abundance are every where; Some one par ticular branch of industry may linguish, but it is only temporarily. and this constitutes but a small proportion of the great thriving industry of the country. All these' exist under the full sway, of democratic principles. Not a single line has been blotted out by the election of Gen. Taylor, and by the late elections as compared with those of last fall, it would seem as if the people having sus tained their country's war, and rewarded its hero with the highest honor iu their gift, are determined to sur round him with a democratic Congress. allowing him nothing more than the narno of President and the emol uments of office. We predict that iu loss than six months the national and State administration will be without the power to pass a single act, either in the national or State Legisla tures. Still, while they are without power to legislate, every One known that the executive power will do its ut most to pralyse the democracy, with the hope of ulti mately breaking down their principles. The policy of Governor Shunk was endorsed by an overwhelming ma jority in 1847, and nothing but the fatal rccurity of the Democracy prevented the re-assertion of their principles in 1848. No one dreamed of danger, and while all felt secure, Governor Johnston traveled the State. avowing no principles for the public eye, but barganing with Na tives, declaring himself for Free - Soil in one section of the State and advoCating a slave-holder for the Presi dency in another—he succeeded in carrying the State by a few hundred majority. We will not attempt to characterize the late campaign. It is now well understood byihe people and known to be without a parallel in the history of our country. Our ob ject in addressing you now is, to draw your attention to the importance of the present campaign, and in doing so we have thought it expedient to show 'that the princi ples of our party are at stake; without discussing them at length, they are too well understoodlto require it. Let Pennsylvania be redeemed in October, and New York with her once more united Democracy in November, and the laurels of 1848 will fade forever, the country be safe. and Democracy triumphant Democrats of Pennsylvania. this is the issue. Had you carried the State at the last election, it might not have boon so—the only question to bo passed upon in that event would have boon the election of a competent officer for Canal Commissioner. As it is, you have now the double duty of redeeming your State, by triumph antly asserting:your principles, and of electing a good and competent officer to carry them out in the proper man agement of the r internal improvements of the State. It was, with a full knowledge of -this issue before them, that the Democratic State Convention, lately assembled at Pittsburgh, placed in nomination Jolts A. GAMBLE as your candidate for Canal Commissioner, a gentleman of long experience in public improvements.tiu the legirdatiye policy of the State. and of spotless integrity of charae ter. Aside from all other. questions; the two'candidates before the people, for the responsible office of Canal Commissioner, differ in all the essential qualifications for the duties of that office. Mr. Gamble is a man in mid dle life. who possesses nothing but what he has earned by his own industry and economy; he has been for many years engaged in various capacities on the line of our internal improvements—thus, acquiring by experience and observation, a thorough knowledge of our whole system of internal improvements—he was a member of the Convention which amended the Constitution of onr State—has been a member of our Legislature, and is perfectly acquainted with the whole policy of our Gov ernment in relation to internal improvements T-he is a Democrat, and as such has always been faithful and true, to the principles of his party and its organization, and-if' elected will carry, them out in the economical manage ment of the public works. Mr. Fuller, the candidate of Federalism and Nativism, is a young man of reputed wealth, a lawyer by profession, without any experience . whatever in relation to our internal improvements. and was never known or heard of in the State, until ho served one session to the legislature last winter. For the office he seeks, he seems -.not to possess a solitary qualification. and he rests his whole hopes upon trnieling the State making *pesetas, declaring himself a Free Seiler. althonghto voted for a slave-bolder for Presi dent, a Rough and Ready to secure the Natives, and anything and everything to secure votes.' Between these two the people are to choose. W. haVe no feer of the result, if every Democrat will do his duty. Have the vote all brought out. add all will be ids—otir porty united, and onr candidate approved throughout the State all that is now nectusary.to do is to go to the polls. and , Pennsylvania will ripe out the strain of her defection, and take het. rank again it the head of the Democratic States: • _ :L• .1. -, GLANCY JONES:O4I*ms.

Ad vertiser of the 27th May: "On Monday last, a lady about 40 years, of age, presented herself to Dr. A. D. Cutler, of this place, for his advice and treatment. Her case is a strange and perplexing one. Language would fail to con vey anything like adequate idea of the suffering which she constantly endures. She is reduced to a mere skeleton—is never still; looks worn and haggard, and says she is only kept alive by the pain and torment which she endures. There Is a Ltv■ stsyrins or something else of a shrill'sr cbaricter, in her stomach, and extending up into her , throat nearly to the roots of her tongue. Externally, its movements are seen perfectly plait), and by apply ing the hand to her throat or stomach, one can feel its motions distinctly, and cannot use pressure enough with the hand to stop these motions. - - When she does not eat; at her regular times Its contortions are much worse, almost past endurance. Vhen she attempts to eat, she cannot use a ..knife or fork; she has to use her hands to cram the food into her throat, in order to Satisfy its Braving vo. racity—after her meals are over, she is troubled less with its - writhing and contortions for a short time. She says she is always starvitig—seldom or never sleeps—she appears on the verge of the mania -and has convulsions at times, The movements of this THING she describes as werso.thaq the cutting of a knife. By pressing down the beck part of her tongue so as to open the upper part of her throat, a portion of the head of this thing has been distinctly' seen, re sembling in appearance the end of the bead f an eel. Many,ladies and gentlemen of undoubted ve racity all testify to the truth of these statements. This lady says that some years ago in taking drink of water ono night she felt some live thing Blip down her throat with the drink of water; that after some time bad elapsed, she felt uneasy sensa tions In her stomach, which gradually grew worse and worse, up to this time; that she had endured ao greaten amount or suturing only Since !"I Sop. tember. • e - New York t preserve ite grt once' of the Q ~~! l etter of *to uo 1 a month we ha by "Old Zac Without a do all nod would a wo quote. you to conceal it. to lave it.
