Make In- Orance on Lives at their Office, in Philadelpha, and at their Agencies throughout the Statee,at the lowest rates of premium. Persons should insure their lives, and do so without delay, whilst they are healthy and fit subjects to be insured. In this Office there are advantages greater than have.ever yet been derived from the system of Life Assurance; which reason and experience convinec the Trustees may with safety be offered to the public. It will he found, on inquiry, that moat offices have in the outset professed to act on some new principle; or to offer to assurers. some one particular benefit not to be obtained from other societies. But policies are effected under various Circumstances, and with widely different objects, -:and what may facilitate the views of one man, of no accommodation to another. It appears, therefore, to the Trustees of the Equitable, that the greatest good will be effected by that office, which allows such reasonable advantages to every assurer, as at the time of completing his Policy, lie considers to be suitable to his particular case. On this principle they act, and a few instances will suffice to show the benefits derivable from its adoption—the greatest good of the greatest number! No policy will be disputed,•ualess under an act of fraud by the assured, and after the same shall have been declared by referees of undoubted char acter. In ease' of error, either as to age, or in the form of policy, or the answers of referees, such odors, unless wilful and fraudulent, will not be deemed to vitiate the policy. The travelling leave is extensive and liberal. Persons insured for life have liberty to pass to and from the States of Virginia and Kentucky, and west of the river Mississippi, between the first day of November and the first day of July following. And to pass from any place or port within the British North American Colonies, or United States north 01 thirty-four degrees north lattude, without pay ing an extra premium. They are allowed to cross the Atlantic to first class steamers during May, June, July, August and September, free of charge; during remaining months of the year, 25 cents on each $lOO insured. The age of the assured will be admitted on the policy. If the insured die in a duel, by his own hands, or under sentence of the law, such death will not invalidate the poficy, except so far as it was the property of the deceased. Thirty days allowed after each annual payment becomes due, and fifteen days atter each quarterly and half yearly premium becomes due, without for feiture of policy. Premiums or lapsed policies may be renewed at any time within six months on the production of satisfactory evidence as to the health of the insured. When a party effects a policy upon the life of 1 hnother, the Company will be satisfied if the party aad, at the time, a bona fide interest in the life of the assured. The policy may be assigned to whom soever the assured pleases, without the knowledge or assent of the Company (there being no clause in the Equitable policies usual in the policies of MU TUAL Companies, claiming a right to be notified of an assignment and their approval obtained) so long as the assignment or transfer of a policy in the Equitable is a legal act, and the party who claims can give a legal discharge, the amount is paid by the Company. The extraordinary advantage afforded by means of the Half Credit system, in not requiring, under any circumstances, an outlay of a larger sum of money than is absolutely necessary to secure the amount insured, is peculiarly applicable to the CREDITOR desirous of possessing a policy on the life his DEBTOR. If the debt is paid off during these five years, he can discontinue the assurance alto gether, having secured the amount, in the event of the debtor's death previously, at a less expense than would in any mutual office be charged for assuring the life for seven years. If the debt is Nor Pato he would be enabled to continue the assurance for the remainder of the debtor's life, whatever might. then be his state of health. Attention is particulary re- ! quested to the HALF CREDIT RATES OF PREMIUM PER $lOO (Without security or deferred note.) Half Credit. Age. Half Credit. during 5 years. during 5 years, 90 • 40 $146 98 45 175 $lO9 60 213 126 55 2 64 The assured has to pay the premium in all cases in advance, and HAS no LIABILITY of any kind, sort or description. A deferred note is not neces sary to peafect any operation, and none will be taken by the Company. Persona insuring should bear in mind that a pro missory note given to a Nltrru.s.l. OFFICE at com pound interest, soon amounts to more than the sum assured. Thus, $lOO per annum for 20 years at 6 per cent., would cause a DEDUCTION from the sum assured Or THREE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-EIGHT DOLLARS AND FIFTY-FIVE CENTS. The premiums of Mutual Assurance Companies being, as they profess, (though the Mutual offices "do somehow" advertise guarantee capitals) free from the burdens of dividends to shareholders, should be very much lower, than those of stock companies; YET THE EQUITABLE IS LOWER BY SIX TEEN PER CENT. THAN ANY MUTUAL OFFICE, and at the SAME RATES OF PREMIUM charged by the "New York Life," "The New York Mutual," "Albion," " Worcester Mutual," "Connecticut Mutual," " Pennsylvania," "Girard," "Penn," "New England," "Hartford," "Baltimore Mu tual," "Boston Mutual," &c., &c., &c., in the Equitable the payments cease altogether after twenty-one years.

The premiums charged by the Mtrrunt. OFFICES are all on the highest scale, (and by their own ad vertisements) much beyond what is requisite for the purpose of their business. Their "profits" can only be realized, if ever realized at all, after a lapse of twenty years. The word Profits, therefore, is an abuse of the term, A WHOLLV CONTINGENT AND REMOTE PROMISE, for it is self-evident, and cannot for a moment be ques itioned, they must suffer loss by every insurer who dies before the amount paid by him in premiums, with the accumulated interest, shall be equal to the amount of his policy--nevertheless, in the Mu tual Offices the "profits" Om are to be shared in by the representative, should the insured die En ' MEDIATELY after one or two payments. By the diminution of the premiums in the Equi table,THE GREATEST PRESENT BENEFIT IS SECURED to al persons assured by this company; whilst those who wish to participate in the profits can do so, by the purchase of the reserved shares, (first instalment, 10 dollars) which at all times afford a good and really profitable investment for capital, beside a vote for each share. This action the Trustees conceive must commend itself to the judg ment of every unbiassed inquirer, being based on the broad principle of equity ; and securing to all the members, the advantages to which they are justly entitled by their actual payments; without opera ting to the peculiar benefit of old standing members, or placing recent entrants at a disadvantage—a combination presented by no other office than the Equitable Life Insurance Company. THE ACTUAL MONEY BONUS given by the, Equi table, saved, is upwards of 15 per cent., at the time of effecting the insurance; on IN ACCORDANCE with the SCRIP BONUS OF A MUTUAL OFFICE; THE SAVING IS EQU A L TO TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY PER CENT.

ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL commrnEE DEMOCRATS OF PENESTiFAMIA The issue is once more made in our good old Commonwealth, and it remains for you to say whether it shall 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 and Unchanging object of the Democratic Party in this country, ever since the days of THOMAS JEFFERSON, to establish upon d firm basis, and to put into successful practice that fundamental doctrine ~of the Declaration of Independence, that all men are born, politically, FREE and EQUAL; and while a diversity of objects some-. what local in their character, may have tempora rily changed the issues from time to time, there never has been a contest in which this important principle has not been involved directly or indirect ly. The questions of Banks, Tariflkan Independent Treasury, distribution of the sale of Public Lands, Internal Improvemente, &c., have agitated this country for many years; and yet viewed in the. abstract, good democrats are often at a loss to see what danger can accrue to their principles letthese measures be successful or not; few look below the surface of things; but those who do, see in these measures a foundation on which is to be erected the superstructure of privileged clasies and privi; level interests. The democracy has never 'hanged its name or its objects: They are universal suffrage and political equality. Federalism is opposed to both --at first openly, but of late under various guises and changes of names. In the, early days of our government, the enemies of democracy openly declared their distrust ot • the people, and labored to restrict popular rights and privileges by legislative enactments. They failed —and the whole history of federalism under the different names of Federalists, National Republicans. Democratic Whigs and Taylor Republicans,has been untiring labor to do that indirectly which could not be done directly, to wit: by establishing corPo: rations without restrictions, they hope to control the finances, trade and legislation of the country, and to smotherl individual enterprize; by having a particular class of interests placed under the spe. cial protection of government, they hope through them to rule the country, and control other interests by a vast scheme of internal improvements; they hope to create huge monopolies of monied interests, which in the end must corrupt the, government. demoralize the people, and ultimately sap the per sonal independence of the masses, which is the only sure basis of a rephblican government. On all these issues whether presented directly or indirectly, the democracy have triumphed, and it was their highest pride under the late administra tion to point to the records of their country for the success of every Democratic measure, and to point to the unexampled prosperity 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 democracy represents the masses. It is the province of the other party under whatever name it may be known, to take care of privileged interests. In the success of these measures the democracy have nothing to fear, they have always triumphed and always will; but when issues are abandoned and a military hero professedly without political principles, is presented to the people and claims their suffrages for his military services, our rulers may change, but our principles never; and such has been the result of the late I. o ';' esidential and Gubernatorial elections. The country never was in a State of higher prosperity than it is at present ; peace, happiness and abundance are every where. Some one particular 'branch of industry may lan guish, but it is only temporarily, and this consti tutes 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 tall, it would seem as if the people having sustained their country's war, and rewarded its hero with the highest honor in their gift, are determined to surround him with a Democratic Congress, allowing him nothing more than the name of President and the emoluments of office. We predict that in less than six months the na tional and state administAtions will be without the power to pass a single act, either in the national or state legislatures. Still, while they are without power to legislate, every one knows that the exe cutive power will do its utmost to paralyze the democracy, with the hope of ultimately breaking down their principles. The policy of Governor Shunk was endorsed by an overwhelming majority in 1847, and nothing but the fatal security of the Democracy prevented the reassertion of their prin ciples in 1848. No one dreamed of danger,. and while all felt secure, Governor Johnston travelled the State, avowing no principles for the public eye, but bargaining with Natives, declaring himself for Free Soil in one section of the State, and advocating a slave holder for the Presidency in another--he succeeded in carrying the State by but a few hun dred majority. We will not attempt to characterize the late campaign. It is now well understood by the peo ple and known to be without a parallel in the his tory of our country. Our object 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 principles of our party ale at stake; without discussing them at length, they are too well understood to 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 tri umphant. Democrats of Pennsylvania, this is the issue.— Had you carried the State at the last election, it might not have been so—the only question to be passed upon in that event would have been the . election of a competent officer for Canal Commis sioner. As it is, you have now the double duty of redeeming your State, by triumphantly asserting your principles, and of electing a good and com petent officer to carry them out in the propel wan agement of the Public Wrks. It was, with a full knowledge of this issue before 'them, that the Democratic State Convention, lately assembled at Pittsburg, placed in nomination Jou?? A. GAMBLF, as your candidate for Canal Commissioner, a gen. tleman of long experience in improvements, in the legislative policy of the State, and of spotless in tegrity of character. Aside from all other goes Lions, 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. NIL Gamble is a min in middle life, who posses ses nothing but what he has earned by his own in dustry and economy, he has been for many years engaged in various capacities on the line of our internal improvements—thus, acquiring by expe rience and observation, a thorough knowledge of our whole system of internal improvements--he was a member of the convention which amended the Constitution of our State—has been a member of our Legislature, and is perfectly acqupinted with the whole policy of the Government in rela.ion to internal improvements--he is a Democrat, and as such. has always been faithful and true to the principles of his party and its organization, and it elected will carry them out in the economical managements of the public works. Mr. Fuller, the candidate of Federalism and Nativism. is a young man of reputed wealth, a lawyer by profes. sion, without any experience whatever in relation to our internal improvements, and was never known or heard of in the State, until he served one session in the Legislature last winter. For the office he seeks, he seems not to possess a single qualification, and he rests his whole hopes upon travelling the State making speeches, declaring himself a Free Soiler, although he voted for a slaveholder for Pres dent ; a Rough and Ready to secure the Natives, - and anything and everything to secure votes. Be tween these two the people are to choose. We have no fear as to the result, if every Democrat will do his duty. Have the voters brought out and all will be safe—our party is united, and our can didate approved throughout the State—all that is now necessary is to go to the polls, and Pennsyl vania will wipe out the stain of her defection, and take her rank again at the head of the Democratic States.

Muster, at New York, from Miragoane, which place she left 29th August. It appears that on 26th of-August, after some unmeaning preliminaries, Solouque, the President of- the Republic ; was declared Emperor; the legis lative councils of the Island having conferred that dignity upon him. On that day, he, with his wife and child, repaired to the Catholic Church, at Port au Prince, where Solouque, aping the style of Na po' e on, placid upon his own head the Imperial crown, and he and his - wife wens proclaimed Em peror and &apron.

The Wife's Influenre on-her Husband's Fortune. • A woman has her husband's fortune in her power, because she may, or she may not, as she pleases, conform to his circumstances. This is her first duty, and it ought - to be her pride. No passion for luxury or display ought for a moment to tempt her to deviate in the least degree from this line of conduct. She will find her respectability in Any other course is wretchedness itsslf, anu inevi tably leads to ruin. Nothing,ean be more misera ble than the struggle to keep up appearance. If it could succeed it Would cost More than it is worth; as it never can, its failure involves the deepest mortification. Some of the sublimest exhibitions of human virtue have been made by women, who have been precipitated suddenly from wealth and splendor to absolute want. Then a man's fortunes are in a manner in the bands of his wife, inasmuch as his own power of exertion depends on her. His moral strength is inconceivably increased by her sympathy, her counsel, her aid. She can aid him immensely by relieving him of every care which she is capable of taking upon herself. His own employments are usually such as to require his whole time and his whole mind. A good wife will never suffer her husband's attention to be distracted by. details .to which her own time and talents are adequate. If she be prompted by true affection and good sense, she, will perceive when his spirit is borne down and overwhelmed. She, of all human l'eings, can best minister to its needs., For the sick soul her nursing is quite as sovereign, as it is for corporeal ills. It it be weary, in her assiduity it finds repose and refreshment. If it lie harrassed and worn to a morbid irritability, her gentle tones steal over it with a soothing more potent than the most exqui site music. If every enterprize be dead, and hope itself almost extinguished, her patience and forti tude have the power to rekindle them in the heart, and he again goes forth to renew the encounter with the toils and troubles of life: Road to avoid the Inclined Plane. We are gratified fo learn," says the Pennsyl vanian of Wednesday week . , from Enw.int. F. Ger, Esq., Chief Engineer on the Road to avoid the In clined Plane, that he has been instructed by the Canal Commissioners, to invite proposals from the Manufacturers of Railroad Iron in Pennsylvania, to furnish the necessary quantity of iron rails, to be used in the construction of the road. Itnever was intended by the Board to procure any other than Pennsylvania iron, and we have no doubt the quan tity required will be readily furnished, at a reaSCoi able rate, by the manufacturers of our .own State. Notice of the quantity required will shortly be So, then, another Whig roorback against the Caner Commissioners. has exploded, to be succeed ed, as usual, by some newly coined falsehood. The leading Whig editors of the State seem to practice fully the precept, first promulgated by a distin- guished leader of their party, of "throwing consci ence to the devil," and stop at nothing, no matter how false or unfounded. to reach the goal of their ambition—the defeat of the Democratic party, and their own advancement to power and place. Wool throwing in Illinois, The Peoria Register gives a good account of the sheep pastures of that part of Illinois. They are becoming numerously stocked, with very superior qualities of sheep. The entire number of head in the county is stated at 30,000, and the wool clip of last spring at 9000 lbs. The venerable Bishop Chase is one of the chief woolgrowers of that im mediate vicinity, owning a flock of 2,000 head. C Stone has also a flock of the same size, and there are several other flocks 1,100 to 1,500 head. The Register gives an interesting account of a flock of pure French Merinos just introduced into that co.; by Mr. Truman Humphreys, .31 Elmwood. These sheep are represented as distinguished for the extra ordinary firmness and thickness of the fleece, large frame and strong constitution. The head and face is completely covered with wool, down to tier the end of the nose. The imported buck.weighs some 250 lbs., and shears 22 lbs. of wool. The average weight of fleece from these sheep is said to be from,. 10 to 14 lbs. per head. 11 The Democrats have, elected a Governor in Tennessee, that went for Taylor Whiggery by thousands; they have carried Indiana by thousands; they have swept Iowa; frightened the Whigs out of their Senses in North Carolina ; secured three out of four Congressmen in Connecticut; allowed Taylorism but one Congressman to swear by in Virginia ; taken all to themselves in Texas, and virtually whipped their opponents in Kentucky ; and yet the Whig papers will haie it that the Dem ocratic party is "disso/ced."-indianapo/ia Saltine/. • THD CALIFORNIA GOLD REGION.-1R the last number of " Sill man's American Journal of Science and the Arts," the editors mention that they have lately inspected specimens of platinum, , found among the gold sands of California. They also announce, upon reliable authority, the Rev. Mr. Lyman, that the diamond is also found at some of the placers. He had seen one about the size of a small pea, of a straw yellow color, and having the usual convex faces. DT When a crowd of gentlemen, standing On a corner, see a party of ladies coming, they should never stand aside to let them pass, as it will be con sidered impolite; but by permitting the ladies to walk around them they will get an opportunity of staring them. in the face, which is an evidence f gent*.
