The machine worked : admirably, without a single break or ' stop, and Hart, Lemon, Fahnestock. and the rest of us." like a ltound lmy at a hulking, hadn't a word to say, but lakini the back seats that had Wen re serve" I for them, i'iietly h Miked on at Mr. Quay's one-horse show, (talusha A. lirmv, the handy man" of the Re publican party hi this State, was iTiiia iient President of the convention, (i row is nnr-ins the delusion that he will lie s( nt to the 1'. s.

Didn't Recorder Grcevy, of Alt'MUia, , simply relate one of his midsummer night dreams to a reporter of the) Trilnix. of that ciy, last week, when he toldjiim that (Jen. Coffroth had taken a special interest at the I Minn-rat ic State 'onven- i 1 ion in his (t Jreevy's) candidacy as Chair manof the Democrat iejstate ( 'ommittee. It is true that a great many things, ; startlingand unaccountable, occur in the ; mutations of Democratic imlities, and1 that they often make a man acquainted , with many strange lied fellows ; yet Jen. ' otfroth is a man who jxissesses a large amount of that ely necessary and yet very rare talent known as common sense and can see as far through a political millstone as the next man. That he ever took "a -pt eial interest" in having Recorder Ureevy clothul with the re sj in sjl.il ;ty of conduct ing a camjiaiirn in tin intcrci df the Democracy of this t.ite, is, therefore, si 1'iojiosit ion so ut ti ilv i 1 -jMi.-tt ions that, in the absence of an iron-clad atlidavit in supjwii t there of, it carries with it its own refutation.

And yet the 7'i I7-"." man seems to think that Mate Senator Lemon either has no right or that he is afraid to make a contest airainst Clerk Hart and Assemblyman Butler.

The question which is now most discussed at Washington by l'!itieians '-To w hat foreign mission, cabinet ot'iee. or other high tuition, will John F Haitian!! next a: pile?"' On the same d;ty in 12), the memor able 4th of July, Thomas -TefTerson, the author of the declaration of Indeiend ence. and John Adams, its ablest advo cate on the Moor of the Continental Con gress, lmth died, the one in Virginia and the other in Massachusetts. A few days afterwards a public meeting was held in 1 the city of New Vork to give appropriate expression to the great loss the country had sustained in the death of two of her ' most honored and patriotic sons, and ! : Rev. Steohen X. llowan, the orator of the day, recommended in Hie course 01 his address that "a copy of the Declara tion of Indeiendence, elegantly engross ed on parchment, be transmitted, ere it lie too late, to the venerable Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, its sole surviving signer, to lie certified by him and used by our Common Council on every suc ceeding celebration of the 4th of July' This suggestion having received the ap proval of the Mayor and Common Coun cil, Mr. Rowan, in company with Kev. John (Jibson, of Ualtimore, visited Mr. Carroll at his home in Maryland on the 2d of August, ls-Jtj, exactly fifty years to a day after he had signed the great charter of American liberty. Mr. Car roll, then SO years of age, received his visitors with great warmth of feeling, an,j .,fter they had made known the ob- j jett 0f their mission and presented to ject or ineir mission and piescmcu 10 jlin a ,m:irt0 volume containing the Do- cUmition of Indendence, executed in .it .1, .i r . . .. . .1 . : 1 . n,-. f the neatest style of ienmanship, he ap- IK-nded to it his certificate of approba tion. This copy of the Declaration, with Mr. Carroll's certificate, is care fully preserved in the library of the City Hall, New York, and is used as original ly designed on every celebration of the 4th of July. Following is the certificate written bv the venerable patriot, ( harles Carroll, of Carrollton, the ministers named therein being the witnesses : "Crateful to Ahniiihty (iod for the bless inirs; which, throtmh Jesus Christ our Lord, lie has conferred on my beloved country in her emancipation, and upon myself in jht iiiittiiiK me under circumstances of mercy to live to the aire of '. years, and to survive the fiftieth ear of American indejieudenee, and ccrtifvnm bv mv present signature my aipro batiou of the Declaration of Independence, adojited by Conirress on the Fourth of July, in the year of our Lord, 177'; which I origi i nallv subscrilM'd on the second day of August i of the same year, and of which I am the last : surviving signer, I do hereby recommend to t the present and future generations the jirin ! cijiles of that imjiortant document as the best e:irthlv inheritance their ancestors could le (ueatfi to them ; and pray that the civil and s religious liberties tiiey have secured to my : countrvmen mav be perjietuated to remotest iwwtcTi'tv. and extended to the whole faiuily of man".

The Duke of Argyll, Scotland, who is the father of the Marquis of Lome, the son-in-law of uefn Victoria, and now Viceroy of Canada, was in New York . last week on his return to Scotland from a visit to his son. (Jn the deck of a steamer about to sail, and in the pres ence of a party of aristocratic mobs of American birth, but of foreign sympa thies, this ducal head of the house of , Campbell is reported to have said among other things : 'For iny-clt. I do not think that the peo ple of the" I'uitcd States can possibly do let- . ter than to replace (icncrnl (irant in the White House, and keep hint there by succes- she elections, if need lie, for ttw remaining tirm of hi lit'.: I have taken pains during m v isit hereto rend a good many of your 1 journals, mid 1 think I have discovered evi dences of a strong wish that (ieneral tirant should again ln-eoine the Chief Kxeeutive Magistrate of your llcpuhlic." ; This has not only the true ring of the third term, but also the ring of 'sueccs- si ( elections" of (irant ''for the reinain- ing term of his life." Well, vvhen a man, and especially a Duke, is ia Cue third term business, he may as well go the w hole figure, or more vulgarly sjeak- mg, the whole hog. 11 is a pieasam iii.ifwln in tlii( clieikv Scotchman S)H(t.l(.l IOSM IMS ( lit ( k .-V.0lllliuau standing on the deck of a British steam- .... er. in .New loik iiarnor, aim lnsuuing the American jieople by advising them to invest Crant w ith the dictatorship for life. When Archibald Campliell again visits his son in Canada, as he says he intends doing, but which will not proba bly bo until after the next Presidential ; election, he will discover that '"the leo- i pie of the Fnited States'Mid not blindly reverse all former Presidential precedents , bv electing his friend, (Jeneral (irant, 'Chief Executive Magistiate"' of the Republic. i 'That the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the Mates, and especially the right ot each State to order and control its own dome-tie institutions according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depends; and we denounce the lawless invasion by armed force of the soil of any State or Ter ritory, no iitrttter ftet tlic irctcxt, as among the grossest of climes." In view of Republican speeches and Republican votes in Congress dm ing the late session on the question of military interference by the government with elections, the average Republican, after having read the alve paragraph, would not hesitate to ascribe to it a Democratic origin, since it proclaims the same doc ti ine advocated by the Democrats ever since the days of Jefferson. And yet it is one of the resolutions of the platform adopted by the Republican national con vention at Chicago in lscdt, when Abra ham Lincoln was nominated for Presi dent, (iraut, however, during his two terms taught the Republican party that the baonet was the most effective in strument in coercing State Legislatures into submission to unlaw ful authority, as well as in protecting Covcniors of States in their usurpations, and the leaders of that party at the extra session claimed that the only salvation for the ills of the count l.v was the free use of the strong arm of military power in af fairs which are peculiarly the subject of Slate control. (d'M K.u, Mif.ks, at the head of a lighting force not exceeding six hundred men. was near Bear Paw mountain at the Ijeginuing of the week on the look out for Sitting Bull, who is said to have crossed the liorder from British Colum bia into Montana, having under him a large force of Sioux braves. Miles is represented as ambitious of promotion, and thinking Inat this is his chance to make a ttn-strike he is determined to have a light. His command have the san e faith in him that the Seventh cav alry had in Custer, and if he strikes Sitting Bull's camp the light will le a hhcalv one. The Democratic State C'ouveutioii. The annual convention of the Demo cratic party of this State was held at Ilar risburfj on Wednesday of last week, and notwithstanding the extreme heat of the weather there was a large attendance of del egates and others interested in the proceed ings of said body. The convention was eall- ed to order by Chairman Speer, who read over the list of delegates. In organizing, the first difficulty that" presented itself was two sets of. Philadelphia delegates, one under the j leadership of Lewis Cassidy and the other under Richard Vaux, ;oth claiming the right to seats in the convention. Some little time was spent in discussing the matter, which was finally decided by the Vaux delegates retiring and the other set getting their seats. I!. E. James, of Northampton, was chosen as temporary chairman, and for permanent chairman Congressman Coffroth, of Somer set, was named. In the nomination for State Treasurer there was really no opiosition to Daniel O. Rarr. The name of John W. Wish, of Lebanon, was offered, but it was at once withdrawn, and Rarr receiver! the nom ination by acclamation. A bone of conten tion was tin-own intothe convention by ex Senator Miller, of Washington county, Who offered a resolution that the candidate and the permanent eliainnan be authorized to se lect the Chairman of the State Committee. This was in accordance with Rarr's plans. It brought uj the opposition and llayes (Jreer proposed as an amendment that the convention select a chairman. The vote on this was taken by yeas and nays, resulting in the defeat of (ireer's proposition by a vote of 1 is to !4, and as a consequence Miller's reso lution was adopted. THE FTLATFOHM.
