He states that ho now llyos la city, that Museum, pnoo his, and all J*9 curiosities, have beeii sold for $24,000? that ho paid $12,000 tor it fourteen years ago, ami }htU now ho has not tho least interest in it. Hu fcays that last Juno he was worth $500,000. II is property ho valued at $BOO,OOO, and ho owed |jfos,ooo.' ' About this period the Jeromes came along and wished Idm to endorse their notes for $lOO,OOO. Barmim.dld ,i land repeated liis endorsements on similar paper, as he supposed, to take up tho former. Finally ho ascertained that ho had endorsed to tho .amount of $404,000, ami so fur as lie kt)ppsj tliofe.iuny bo amlllion of dollars of this paper out, as ho often signed in blank for the Jeromes to pat to what amount they chose. Still, B.irnnm don’t consider that he has failed, *a he says his refusal to pnyithese “clock debts” of the Joremcs don’t exactly constitute a failure. Ho alleges that (ho holders of these obligations of his were tho vory peVsons who induced him to become responsible for the Jeromes. The splendid paintings at BarmmTs house at tranistan, ho says ho sold for $2,000, though jhey cost him $lO,OOO. His present assets are Crystal Jalaca stock, which Is not worth halfas luuch as the skin.of tho celebrated woolly horse bnco in his possession. Now whoever has vend Burnum’s biography, ifrltton hv himself, will consider it very strange (ha( ho did not follow his ommj advice.

At this very time he indorsed notes for nearly half a million o( dol -ars, without even carefully scrutinizing the re sponsibility of those whoso paper ho ptit Ids virau to* Ho oVen mortgaged his property to raise $BO,OOO fal tho Jeromes in December Inst.

Barnnm says he raised tiobtfrtdlon several States, counties, and towns, >at a friend of his just at this time had looked nto tlio affairs of tho Jeromes, and told Bnrnum hot they were bankrupt, and ho was ruined. Inrnum then sold these bonds, at a loss ot $BO. - BOO,*and took tho money 1 , lie Says, to pay his swn dobtd.

'fhb iVor/fi American, tho loading Whig pa per of- Philadelphia, refuses to endorse Fill more a nomination. After publishing extracts from the speeches ol several of tho leading Know-Nothings, in their so-called National Convention, to show the spirit which actuated that-molly assemblage, the editor says: •I *f2 w t is froin “ Convention Urns deporting itself, whose members, men of hihturc ngb, nntl •social position, clergymen and lawyers mid nondescripts, hug each other in maudlin bn thusiasm, and make speeches about ■•Sam.” and “Saint Hitdkbrahd,” and “spavined hor ses, that this nomination comes : and coining thus, it has no rigid to ask the support of Whigs and fair-minded men ,of any parly.- Surely we may be permitted to hesitate. As sure as the painful distrust which on this sub jeet tills the public mind is justified. But the Whigs of Pennsylvania and Phila delphia have peculiar motives for resolute re serve just now. No where has the parly which nominated Mr. Fillmore loft more deplorable traces than hereabout.-*. Neither locality nor in the nation has it been such, we mean admin istratively, ns to command confidence. Less than two years ago it Sprang into gigantic ex istence. and commanded something kindred to admiration or fear. With a Strong hand and u grasp so hold that a stout and honest heart •seemed to nerve it, look possesion in one place nr another of power and patronage. Pcnnsyl vania and Massachusetts and New York all yielded. But the instant it conquered power it showed itself unfit or unable to administer it. 'lbis was manifest to every eye. and there were many, oursevtes among the number, who look ed at Ibis result with disappointment. The two repulsive elements of secrecy and sectarian proscription, alien to the beart'aud intelligence of the American people, only worked out their genuine fruits when the secret ami sectaiian party gitf into place. A general sentiment of distrust pervaded even* on’s mind, and the end was what we have said. Now. is it to he won dered at that with these facts still recent—for two years is the limit—conservative men should regard with suspicion a nomination made about which they ha\e not only not, been con sulted, but from which they have been repell ed ? To surti conservative men who have not yet spokni, wc fitly, in all earnestness, reserve your Judgment. This nofnination Ims no nnlecodtnls to Command ncquiesenco from Whigs or those who act with Whigs. Least of all, Has it any claims on Pennsylvanians. We have not for gotten tho scenes of last Winter’s legislation, ami its impotent intrigues, and remember well that the party whose Convention now: nomi nates Mr. FdlmOre was in power and responsi ble then. Philadelphians, too, may will pause liefuie they follow this New Yoik city lend,* linding. as they do. among Mr. Fillmoie s pro minent thanks'givers in this Convention, those who have signalized themselves by hitter oppo sition to our local inlmsts. Tho lime will soon eonie when those who hnxe heretofore pro fessed Whig piinci|Jts, and who ha\e. as vet, formed no oilier connexion, ought to determine on their course and manfully proclaim it. 31iunirb. the I?>lh msl., by the Rev. .1 l-Nans.
