ge:r. The Tenth Anniversary Meeting of
the American Vegetarian Society, will be
held in the Lecture Room of the Bible Chris
tian Church, Third street, Philadelphia, on
Wednesday, September 21st. This Associa
tion is, as its name indicates, a National So
ciety, and embraces a number of eminent
gentlemen in its membership. The late Dr.
Alcott, of Auburndale, Mass., a physician of
learning and experience, as well as a writer
of decided ability, was the President at the
time of his decease a few months ago.
Party Spirit.
Although we publish a party paper, we
cannot but agree with the editor of the Chant
bersburg Times in the following remarks which
we take from his paper of the 9th inst. Quite
a respectable number of our political oppo
nents, as well as a few hasty party men in
our own ranks, may not lose anything by
giving this article a careful perusal.
The editor says :—" In times like the pres
ent, when the period for holding an impor
tant election is approching, it is quite com
mon for each party to resort to all available
means to secure the success of its candidates.
So long as these are fair, no one will question
the propriety of their employment ; but un
fortunately it too often happens that men in
the warmth of party feelings, forget what is
due to themselves and to each other. As a
ex-
publicjournalist, we regard it as our duty to
protest against the use of any means that may
be detrimental to the public welfare.
'Among those usually employed none- is
more common, and none we think more cen
surable than that of personal detraction.—
No matter how irreproachable a man's repu
tation may have previously been, as soon as
he is nominated for office, he becomes a tar
get for the shafts of his political opponents.
No privacy escapes their serenity; no sanctu
ary is free from their unhallowed intrusion ;
time itself furnishes no protection against the
bitterness of their assaults ; but even the sa_
cred precincts of the family circle are inva
ded, and acts long since repented of and for
gotten are dragged from their merited oblivion,
and made the themes of violent denunciation.
It is right that the character of a candidate
should be well known, and that the question
of his competency should be settled ; but let
this be done in a fair and manly spirit.—
Every one knows that it is exceedingly diffi
cult to disprove a false charge. Although
there may be no evidence to establish it, the
accusation itself leaves a stain upon the most
unblemished name, and seldom fails to find
among those who are not personally acquain
ted with the accused, some who believe and are
influenced by it. The Editor of a paper, and
especially one that is received as a party or
gan, occupies a responsible position. Many
depend upon him for their political faith, and
are accustomed to regard his assertions as
the infallible dicta of truth. He should be
careful then not to disseminate reports of
whose correctness he has not the most relia
ble information. By a contrary course, in
calculable injury is often done to individuals
and thus indirectly to the community at large.
Many a good man, too timid to face political
scurrility, is deterred from entering the lists,
where even the nominally victorious are wors
ted in the conflict. In former times, Shad
rach, Meschech and Abednego, passed through
the fiery furnace without the singing of a
hair ; but the days of miracles must come
again,' before any of our candidates for office
can emerge from a political campaign, un
scathed in reputation. Nor does it end here.
The same spirit pervades our National and
State Legislative Halls. It produces wrang
ling and contention; interferes with the pros
ecution of business, and impairs the best in
terests of the State. This should not be so.
The rivalry between politicians, should no
longer be, who can most successfully decry
the other, but who can surpass in efforts for
the public good. Let this noble emulation
but once prevail, and those Halls will present
a different scene. Instead of discord, we
shall have harmony; industry will supersede
idleness, and our country unhindered in her
onward progress will steadily advance to the
fulfilment of her glorious destiny.
We trust then, that both parties in the
campaign just begun, will exercise mutual
forbearance. There is little to be gained, al
though much may be lost by recrimination.
For the sake of a petty office which is'scarcef
ly worth the bolding, how many friendships
are destroyed, which would have gladdened a
life time. In view of these facts, is it not
better that the peace and harmony of the com
munity should be preserved than that this or
that party should be triumphant."
Local Correspondence
CASSVILLE, Sept. 9, 1859.
MR. EDITOR :—After neglecting my duty
for some time, I am again at my post, as
Cassville Correspondent. I was prevented
by circumstances, from sending you an ac
count of a lecture delivered before our Normal
Class, a few weeks ago. It was a thorough
exposition of the principles of good reading,
by that well known and popular orator, Dr.
Wintrode. On last Wednesday evening Prof.
Bal!entine entertained us with a description
of the Mammoth Cave, in Kentucky, as seen
by himself. lie spent an hour and a half in
describing the scenes of beauty which that
unrivaled cavern displays ; yet so interesting
was the topic that the audience could not have
become weary, had the lecture been twice as
long. The Professor gave a chaste and lucid
description of the most interesting features of
of the cave and painted the emotions inspired
by its silent and solemn grandeur in colors
of the noblest eloquence. Every American
ought certainly to visit this greatest wonder
of the western world, ,and for my part, I am
determined to do so, that is, if I get enough
spare money before the South dissolve the
Union (!) I wish I could report the descrip
tion of the cave for your columns ; but having
taken no notes, I find 'myself unable to do so.
Being no dealer in politics, I cannot report
the political phases manifest in our commu
nity. _ So far however as I can learn, the
prevailing sentiment seems to be, that the
candidates having the majority of votes will
be triumphantly elected. C. C.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GLOBE.
SAINT LOUIS, MO., Sept. 5, 1859. -
Mx. LEWIS :—The object in writing you at
this time, is to give you and your numerous
readers a description of the mineral portion
of our State. I had occasion to travel through
the southern part of the State a few weeks
ago. I started from this point, on the Saint
Louis and Iron Mountain Railroad to its ter
minous, which is at the present, Pilot Knob,
in Iron county, and about ninety miles from
this place by rail. The railroad company
intend carrying the road through to Memphis,
Tennessee, which will make it one of the
greatest roads for traveling South in this coun
try. The lands through that part of the State
are not good for farming purposes; that is, for
raising any kind of grain, but will make the
finest grazing farms in the world ; though I
seen some of the finest corn I ever saw raised,
on my route.
I will here give you a description of Iron
Mountain, which is owned by a company.—
They have three furnaces within an eighth of
a mile of one another. This mountain is sit
uated about eighty-three miles southwest of
St. Louis, and its resources for iron ore is in
exhaustible. The company has worked it
for some fifteen or twenty years, and you can
scarcely see where they have taken the ore
from. The way they mine is in the same man
ner you work your stone quarries. As it is
one solid piece of ore they are compelled to
blast it with powder as you would rock. Ido
think it a great curiosity to see you go up,
as it were, against a bluff, say about three
hundred feet long, and about sixty feet high,
against a solid mountain of ore, which will
yield 90 tons of iron. I was told, and in fact,
saw a blacksmith, who says he has made
many a horse shoe from the ore, it is that
pure. I cannot tell the length of this moun
tain, but one thing I do know, from every
appearances, it would take thousands of years
to exhaust that one mountain. But this is
not all; you cannot go for twenty miles around
but you can find iron ore. The Iron Moun
tain company is now building another fur
nace at Irondale,about three miles further west,
where they have, as they say, plenty of ore,
and of the finest quality. This company is
shipping about two hundred tons of the ore
to Wheeling and Pittsburgh per month, which,
they say, pays them something.
I will now carry you to Pilot Knob, which
is six miles south of the mountain. This
knob is at thcliend of a mountain, which runs
south some distance ; it is six hundred feet
high from the base. I went on the top to see
the sun rise, and I do think it one of most
beautiful sights man ever saw. You can see
for miles around ; in fact, you can see as far
as the eye can carry. The mornincr e' I was
there, it was a little foggy, and the fog laid
low, and it appeared for a little while, as
though there was a sea of water below. On
top of this knob there are rocks of iron ore,
larger than the Pulpit Rocks near your town.
This company has two furnaces ; they have
commenced mining about four hundred feet
from the base, and are compelled to mine or
quarry in the same manner as at the moun
tain. Their furnaces are at the base, and
they have a Railroad running from the fur
naces to the quarry, by which they convey
their ore. This knob is inexhaustable. This
will show to what extent the iron ore is found
in that country. At one of the Furnaces,
they have bored for water six hundred feet,
and had to bore through solid iron ore, and
they say they do not know how much deeper
the ore lies. It would be worth the while
for some of the iron community of your coun
ty to visit this country. This is not all ; there is
the Shephard Mountain, which is supposed to
contain still a purer quality of ore; however, this
mountain has never been worked, and they can
not tell exactly, but there is no doubt, of the
quantity as it shows for itself. I have often
thought and wondered, why our Eastern cap
italists never come out to see this country.—
I know but two who have visited this coun
try, one is, if I mistake not, my old friend
John S. Isott Esq., of the mouth of Spruce
Creek, and Thomas McCulloch, Esq., of Clarion
county, Pa. These are the only persons I
ever heard of that have visited these places.
The only thing I see why these companies or
any person else cannot make a fortune in a
short time in the manufacturing of iron is, the
want of charcoal. But I have no doubt this
will be overcome in a short time, as they have,
at this time, experimented and been very suc
cessful with stone coal.
I shall now draw your attention to the Red
granite quarry, which is situated about six
miles west of Pilot Knob. It is a mound of
granite in one solid rock covering about ten
acres of surface, and resembles the back of a
turtle, and upon this, there is lying all over
it, large bowlders weighing many tons. There
is one in particular, which resembles an Ele
phant, and to look at it, you would wonder
how it was possible for it to lay in the posi
tion it does. It is laying on the side of the
large rock, apparently without anything to
support it from rolling over. I climbed on
the old gentleman, and had a view from him.
He is about fifteen feet high. You can find
many curiosities there, and in fact, all through
that country. I intended selecting speci
mens to send you, but could not take them
with me on my trip, and, on returning home,
took another route. I intend going down
again, and if I do, shall Express you speci
mens. That whole country abounds with
springs of as pure water as I ever drank, and
in the summer, cool enough for any purposes.
Having nothing more at present, I shall close.
Respectfully Yours,
A. B. M. THOMPSON.
P. S.—The Iron Mountain is owned by
Chautean, Harrison & Valli. The Pilot Knob
is owned by Lewis V. Bogg & Co.
Senator Douglas at Columbus, Ohio
[From the Philadelphia Pennsylvanian.]
SPEECH OF MR. DOUGLAS
COLUMBUS, 01110, Sept. 7.—Senator Doug
las was received at the depot this morning by
the military and a large crowd of citizens,
and was escorted to his hotol. During the
interim between his arrival and the delivery
of his speech, he was waited upon by a large
number of the citizens of this and many other
adjoining counties.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon, Mr. Douglas
made his appearance and was received with
much enthusiasm. Ile immediately procee
ded with remarks, of which the following is
an extract :
Judge Douglas said that the Republican
party, in their platform, adopted at Philadel
phia in 1856, assert the power and declare it
the duty of Congress to prohibit slavery in
all the Territories. The Democratic party
are pledged, on the other hand, by their
platform, to the doctrine of non-interven
tion and popular sovereignty in the Territc. , -
ries.
New Mexico and Kansas, by the acts of
the Territorial Legislatures, present cases
now for Congressional intervention with
their domestic affairs, which will put the ad
vocates of intervention and non-intervention,
North and South, to the test.
New Mexico, which refused for several
years after the organization of a Territorial
Government, to introduce or protect slavery,
passed a law in 1858 to recognize and pro
tect slavery in that Territory. Kansas, at
the first session of the Territorial Legislature
in 1858, passed a very stringent law, "to
punish offences against slave property," by
- which slavery was introduced, and "adequate
protection" given to it in that Territory. In
1858, however, the slave-code was repealed
by an act passed February 9th, and all pro
tection to slave property withdrawn and de
nied. By this "unfriendly legislation" sla
very bad been excluded from the Territory
_of
Kansas.
Now the Northern interventionists are
pledged by their Republican platform to re
peal the slave code in New Mexico, and pro
hibit slavery by act of Congress—while the
Opposition in Kentucky and the Southern in
terventionists generally, are pledged by their
principles to introduce and protect slave prop
erty in the Territory of Kansas.
These issues must and will be met by the
Democratic party. (Applause.) Non-inter
vention and popular sovereignty must be
maintained, as well in New Mexico as in
Kansas. (Continued cheering.) If New
Mexico wants a slave code, let her have it.—
If New Mexico has laws for the protection of
slave property, so be it. If Kansas will not
have a slave code, .nor slavery, Congress must
not force her people to accept either. (Ap
plause.)
Northern and Southern interventionists
agree that slavery in the Territories is a.
rightful subject of Congressional legislation,
but differ as to the character of such legisla
tion. Each insist that Congress should in
tervene in favor of their particular section,
and against the other section, in violation of
the rights of the people most interested, to
decide the question of slavery for themselves.
According to the doctrine of the interven
tionists, North and South, slavery is not only
a rightful subject of Congressional legisla
tion, but is dependent upon the Federal au
thority for its existence and protection, con
sequently subject to Federal regulation and
control.
The Southern interventionists contend that
the whole power of the Federal Government
should be exerted for the protection of sla
very in the Territories, and the Northern in
terventionists that the same power should be
exerted for its destruction. The Democratic
party, in opposition to the interventionists of
both sections, hold that slavery is a State in
stitution, and that it exists in the slave-hold
ing States, "under the laws thereof," and not
by virtue of the Constitution of the United
States ; that slavery, therefore, is beyond the
reach or control of the Federal authority for
good or evil, except in the single case of fu
gitive slaves, who must be delivered up.—
The Democratic party were sustained in these
principles by the decision of the Supreme
Court, in.the " Dred Scott" case. The Dem
ocratic party are pledged to the principle of
popular sovereignty—by which the people of
the orgfnized Territories, "like those of .a
State, shall decide for themselves whether
slavery shall or shall not not exist within their
limits."
Those who insist that the first " handful of
settlers" should not decide the slavery ques
tion in the Territories, should vote against
the organization of Territories until they
have sufficient population for a political com
munity capable of self-government in all oth
er domestic concerns. No government should
be established for any people who are not
qualified by numbers and in all other re
spects to legislate for themselves on all right
ful subjects of legislation, subject only to the
Constitution of the United States. When
Territorial Governments are established, the
people will legislate for themselves—will form
their own domestic institutions ; and if their
legislation conflict with the Constitution, it
will present a judicial question for the Courts
to determine, to whose decision all law-abi
ding citizens will and must submit.
The Territories must be open to settlement
to the people of all the States. Slave States
as well as free States. The system of emi
gration fostered and encouraged by emigrant
aid societies for the purpose of controlling
territorial legislation is a fraud upon the
elective franchise, - and designed to subvert
and destroy the principles of self-government.
None but actual inhabitants, who have aban
doned their citizenship and allegiance in
their respective States, and settled in a Teri
tory in good faith to make it their permanent
home, have a right to a voice or vote in the
legislation of the Territory. (Applause.)
The doctrine of Mr. Seward's " Rochester
speech" with respect to the " irrepressible
conflict between freedom and slavery," must
be emphatically condemned. He said : " I
denounce it here to-day, as I denounced it in
the Senatorial canvass in Illinois, when it
was maintained by Mr. Lincoln, as subver
sive of the principles upon which the Union
was founded and must stand. Uniformity in
the local laws and domestic institutions of
the several States is neither desirable nor pos
sible. Variety of climate and interests ne
cessitate a corresponding variety of local leg
isle,tion, which is and must be adapted to the
wants of each particular community or State.
The liberty and prosperity of the people de
pend upon the inalienate• right of self-gov
ernment in all the States and Territories of
the United States. • (Immense applause.)
The surrender of fugitive slaves is a duty
imposed by the Constitution, and all who are
for law and for the Constitution must be
faithful to that Constitutional obligation.—
The opposition and resistance to the Fugitive
Slave Act in the North, beget a like opposi
tion to and violation in the South of the laws
against the African slave trade. The viola
ters of both—those who resisted the Fugitive
Slave Act, and, those who violated the law
against the African Slave trade—are alike
false to the obligations of good citizens, and
merit alike condemnation and punishment.—
Maintain the doctrine of non-intervention
and popular sovereignty and the Union is
safe. • (Applause.) Stand by that doctrine
and the country will. prosper; all sections
will be content and territorial expansion is
certain. Expansion is a necessity of our na
tional existence, and our destiny is, sooner or
later, to spread our institutions over the en
tire Continent. Cuba, Central America,
Mexico, and all the islands adjacent to us,
will, in time, be ours, and thin will be, as it
should, "an ocean-bound Republic." (Pro
longed cheering.)
The Democratic party is the only party
which recognizes the equality of the States,
and the right of the people to exercise all the
rights ; privileges and immunities of self-gov
ernment. I stand firmly by the Democratic
platform of 1856—1 want no new planks,
and no new pillars to strengthen or uphold
it. I stand upon the platform and carry the
Democratic banner. Let the nominee of the
Charleston Convention take the same position.
Put him on that pla.tfore and give him the
old Democratic banner with all its glorious
memories clustering around it, and the De
mocracy will march to a glorious victory in
1860. (Great enthusiasm.)
HORRIBLE CASE OF SELF - MUTILATION.—One
of the most horrible cases of self-mutilation
we have ever heard or read of occurred at a
rolling mill in Centre county last week. The
particulars of the case, which we do not think
has a parallel on record, are as follows:
" " A young man named Aaron 'rely, who
had recently been pardoned out of the peni
tentiary, where he was confined for horse
stealing, had been hanging around the rolling
mill for several days. Nothing was observed
in his demeanor. On Wednesday morning,
soon after the works were started, he deliber
ately walked to the large iron shears, and be
fore any one was aware of his design, placed
his arms between the blades, both of which
were completely severed about midway be
tween the hands and elbows ! The horrible
act was performed so cooly and deliberately
that no suspicion was entertained of his de
sign. When questioned as to his motive
for the self-mutilation, he replied, that "his
hands had been the means of sending him to
the penitentiary once and he was determined
they should never get him into trouble again."
He was taken to a neighboring huuse, and a
physician sent for, who re-amputated both his
arms—an operation which he is said to have
borne with a stoicism and indifference that
astonished all who witnessed it. lie is re
covering rapidly, and manifests the utmost
unconcern for the loss of his arms.
Our Book Table.
THE FORTUNES OF NIGEry By Sir Walter Scott. Being the
twelfth volume of 7'. B. Peterson d Brothers, cheap
weekly issue of Waverley Novels for the Ilillicm.
The world-wide reputation of the Waverley Novels will
'insure a ready sale of this cheap edition, and prove, we
trust, remunerative to the enterprising publishers. It is
commendable to do anything that will, even in a small
degree, stay the present raging appetite for pernicious light
reading. IV satisfying the cravings of those who desire
fiction with some of the healthiest of its order, is preven
ting evil, and negatively, at least, doing good. There are
no works of the imagination which can so effectually ac
complish this as the novels of Sir Walter Scott. They, to
say nothing more, are harmless. It is even astonishing
that through se many volumes there should be found so
little that religion or morality would disapprove. For
beauty of style, copiousness of expression, vividness of
description, and interest of subject, Scott stands in the
foremost rank. His works will be read alWays with inter_
est, and not unfrequently with profit. One volume is is
sued every Saturday, and each one is got up in a neat style,
all of the same size, and are printed at the rate of 25 cents
a volume, or tho whole twenty-six volumes for five dollars,
and sent free of postage to all, on receipt of this sum. This
low price should place a sett of them within the reach of
everybody in the land.
READING Fon THE Maim:v.—T. B. Peterson & Brothers
have this day issued the second volume of their new and
cheap edition of Charles Dickons' Works for the Million, to
be completed in 28 volumes, one to be issued on each and
every Saturday, for twenty-five cents a volume. The cheap
literature of former years did not tend much to elevate
their readers, but the reading that Peterson now gives, at
prices which scarcely cover the cost of printing, is of the
very best character, and must exercise a wholesome in
thience over the public taste, by making all readers ac
quainted with the works of the best fiction writers in the
English language. A reader in the country for one dollar
can have the first four of these volumes transmitted to
him, or the whole twentpeight volumes will be sent for five
dollars. The second volume, issued to-day, contains the
conclusion of Oliver Twist and the commencement of Pick
wick Papers.
IT.E..taT of Mm-LoTnati.v, by Sir Walter Scott.—Forming
the eleventh volume of the cheap and popular weekly pub
lication of the Waverley Novels for the Million, at 25 cents
each, being issued by T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Philadel
phia. This enterprising firm are doing a great public
benefit in thus placing before the whole reading commu
nity, nine-tenths of whom are obliged to be economical in
literary luxuries, the works of Sir Walter Scott in the
present cheap and popular form. Each volume is got up
in a neat style, all of the Same size, and are printed at the
rate of 25 cents a volume, or the whole twenty-six volumes
for five dollars, and sent free of postage to all, on receipt
of this sum. This low price should place a sett of them
within the reach of everybody in the laud.

GOOD CONDITION. _
TIIE SALAMAKDER SAFES OF PITILADEL.PHIA
AGAINST THE WORLD
EVANS & WATSON
Have had the surest demonstration in the following cer
tificate that their manufacture of Salamander Safes has at
length fully warranted the representations which have
been made of them as rendering an undoubted security
against the terrific element:
Philadelphia, April 12th, 1856.
Messrs. EvAss & 'W.-moil—Gentlemen—lt affords us the
highest satisfaction to state to you, that owing to the very
protective qualities of two of the Salamander Safes which
we purchased of you some few months since, we saved a
large portion of our jewelry, and all our books, papers, &c.,
exposed to the calamitous fire in Eanstead Place, on the
morning of the 11th instant.
When we reflect that these Safes were located in the
fourth story of the building we occupied, and that they
fell subsequently into a heap of burning ruins, where the
vast concentration of heat caused the brass plates to melt,
we cannot but regard the preservation of their valuable
contents as most convincing proof of the great security
afforded by your Safes.
We shall take much pleasure in recommending them to
men of business as a sure reliance against fire.

yrEDICAL SCIENCE.
The history of "IIOOFLAND'S GERMAN BIT
-9:E1:6," the most remarkable medicine of the day, and
the many cures that have been performed with it in case.:
of LIVER COMPLAINT, DYSPEPSIA, NERVOUS DE
BILITY, and diseases arising from a disordered liver or
stomach, place it among the most astonishing discoveries
that have taken place in the medical world. The diseases
to which these Bitters are applicable are so universal, that
there are but few of our friends who may not test their
virtues in their own families or circle of acquaintances,
and prove to their own satisfaction that there is at least
one remedy among the many advertised medicines, deser
ving the public commendation. It is - a fact that, in the
minds of many persons, a prejudice exists against what
are called Patent Medicines; but why should this prevent
you resorting to an article that has such an array of tes
timony to support it as Hootland's German Bitters? Phy
sicians prescribe it, Why should you discard it? Judges,
usually considered men of talent, have and do use it in
their own families. Why should you reject it? Clergy
men, and those the most eminent, take it; why should
not your Let not your prejudice usurp your reason, to
the everlasting injury of your health; if you are sick, and
require a medicine, try these Bitters.
These Bitters are prepared and sold by Dr. C. hi, Jack
soil, No. 418 Arch street, Philadelphia, Pa., and by drug
gists and storekeepe- in every town and village in the
United States, Cmiadas, West Indies, and South America,.
at 75 cents per bottle. See that the signature of C. M.
Jackson is on the wrapper of each bottle.
