Col. Gorman’s Speech.
We refer our readers to the extracts from this
genrleman s speech, published on ouf first page.—
It will doubtless be read with much pleasure by
our numnrous Democratic readers Col. Gorman
is a Representative in Congress from the -State of
Indiana, and was a distinguished soldier of the
Mexican War. What a contrast is presented be
tween his remarks, although he also hails from a
Free State, and those of Mr. Stevens ! But the
one is a u hole-souled patriot—the other a reckless
demagogue. The one is desirous of throwing oil
upon the troubled waters—the other anxious to fan
still more the embers of civil discord. The com j
parison need not be extended bv us. Our readers [
can do that at their leisure, and will, without any |
difficulty, be able to draw the distinction.
our first page will be found an interesting
article from Mr. Jefferson Sutherland, in rela
tion to the north-western campaign of ISI4, and
the part therein taken by the New York and Penn
sylvania "Volunteers. The object of Mr. S. is to
direct public attention to the long neglected claims
of those patriotic men upon 1 the Government, and
to influence, if possible, some action of Congress
in their favor.
Mr. S., we understand, intends delivering one or
more Lectures on the subject, in this city.
B_rA. J. Glosrbiiennfh, Esq Sergt. at Arms
of the House of Representatives at Washington,
has our thanks lor his attention.
Mr. Wade, ol the State will also
accept our thanks for a copy ol the able report of
Mr. Meek, in relation to the observance of the
Sabbath.
CE7* We are again without a letter from our
Washington Correspondent. There is evidently some
tiling wrong in the management of the mails be
tween Washington and this City.
£L/'Those of our subscribers who may change
their places of residence, will please give us infor
mation so that we may give their papers a proper
direction.

generally is directed to the advertisement of J. E.
Bonham, in another column, offering a large and
valuable tract of land in Alleghany county, AM.,
for 6ale. on the most reasonable terms. The terms
are put so low, that we should think it would be a
most profitable investment.of, comparatively speak
ing, a small amount of capital. -
The “fliorth Pennsylvanian. ss
We have received' the first number of this new
Democratic'paper, just started at Towanda, Brad
ford county.- by our young friend, Wien Forney
Esq., late of Philadelphia. It is issued in quarto
form, and presents a very neat appearance. The
articles are written with spirit and ability, and the
tone of the paper is thoroughly and radically repub
lican. W e wish Mr. F. abundant success in his
undertaking—we know he will make himself de
serving oJ it—and trust that his labors in Bradford
county may be attended with much good to the
Democratic party there, who have been placed in
a false position by their representative in Congress,
Mr. W ilmot.
CD* H. C. Fondeiismjth, of the *• Bee Hive Gro
cery, in-East King, street, opposite the Farmers'
Bank, knows how to attract customers. He always
keeps an assortment ot the best of everything in his
line, and deserving of public patronage.
Store. —Mr. William Heinitbh has just
opened a splendid assortment of Fancy Goods, &c.
&c., at his new stand in East King street, di-ectly
opposite Shertz's Hotel. His establishment is
tastefully fitted up, with- a neatness and elegance
that cannot fail to attract crowds of customers.
Our friend, Mr. John B. Markley. of the “Eagle
Grocert, ’ has placed us under obligations for his
welcome present of a bottle of “Tomato Sauce," fresh
from the manufactory of Winslow & Horton, Phila.
Markaef knows how to do the handsome thing
in his line of business—and his fndustry and energy
cannot fail in securing an extensive custom to his
tastefully fitted up establishment.
O' We understand that the Governor of Mary
land has appointed Simon Stevens, Esq., of this
city, a Commissioner of Deeds, &c., for the State
of Maryland. Those who have business connected
with the above office, will find in Mr. S. an attentive
and obliging officer, and the appointment could not
have been more worthily conferred.
The Wigwam. —We paid a visit, on Friday eve
ning last. to the “Wigwam” of the Order of Red
Men, at theweorner of North Queen and Cbesnut
streets, in this City, and are free to acknowledge
the pleasure we experienced in finding ourself, in
imagination at least, in a wild western forest—such
is the impression made by a sight of (he paintings
and scenery on the walls and ceiling of the Hall
The only thing wanting to complete the picture,
and make one imagine himself among Indians in
their native forest, was the presence of the member?
in v the costume of the Order. J
The Society, we understand, is in a very prosper
ous condition, and are weekly receiving accessions
to their number.-

8t Patrick’s Day.
The recent anniversary.of the birth of St Patrick
was celebrated in an appropriate manner by the
Hibernian Society of Baltimore. In the afternoon
of Monday, the Society with a number of invited
guests, sat down to a sumptuous entertainment at
Thurston s Hotel.. Hugh Jehkiks, Esq., the. Pres
ident of the Society, presided, and upon the removal
of the cloth announced the following regular toasts :
1. The Day toe celebrate— Endeared to the heart
of every Irishman by the memory of his Patron
Saint—St. Patrick's Day.

love of liberty’—Erin go Bragh.
3. The United States of America— The Union; a

[Let the toast be dear Woman.
j The reading of the regular toasts was intersper
sed with lively and patriotic songs and the inspir
ing music of Roundtree’s band, and after a short
interval a number of volunteer toasts were offered,
which elicited eloquent and happy addresses from
several of the gentlemen present.— American.
Gas Light. —That portion of the City into
j which the Gas has been introduced, presents a beau*
j ti,ul appearance after night-fall. The stores are
i mostly all brilliantly illuminated, and the windows
i of some of them have the burners very tastefully
j arr anged. Amongst others we notice the windows
I of Mr. Zabm s Jewelry establishment, in E. King
Street, andofthe Messrs. Westz s“Bee hive” Store,
in N. Queen. The firsthas the figure of a prancing)
spirited steed, in bronze, with flames issuing Irom
his eyes and nostrils, making a beautiful appear
ance, and emitting a light which can be seen at a
considerable distance The windows of Messrs
entz have also bronze figures, each surrounded
with a semi-circle of twenty-two burners, repre
senting a bee-hive, and making a beautiful display.
There are a number of other stores, taverns. &c..
; that have the lights beautifully arranged, but the
I two esta'dishments above rneniioned have, more
particularly, come under our observation.
It does one good to take a stroll along King and'
I Queen streets alter the night has set in, and observe
j great difference which the introduction of gas
has made in those generally crowded thorough
; fares of our bustling City. ‘
Imitations of Marble.
| IVe have seen the specimens of imitations of
j marble, referred to in our last—the Agent for the
■ Patentee, Mr. C. E. R. Davis, having beeq, in our
j City for the last week.. These imitations are so
perlect in every respect, (of every kind of marble,)
| that the most practised workers in that branch of
business can scarcely, if at all, detect them from
the genuine. The process can be applied to wood
as well as stone, and the discovery or invention is
one of great importance, on account of the cheap
! ness with which the change can be made.
We understand’ that Mr. Charles M. Howell,
one of our most enterprising Marble Masons in this
City, has purchased the Patent Right tor Lancaster
County, and is prepared to execute all orders in
that line with accuracy and dispatch. We advise
our readers to call at his establishment in E. King
Street, and examine lor themselves.
Mr. Davis will leave here in a few days for Phil
adelphia, where we hope to hear of his success
amongfthe Marble Workers bl that City.
The JVews from Europe.
Our telegraphic despatch, given on the outside
containing the synopsis of the news by the Niaga
ra, arrived at Halifax, has some important points
of interest. Upland cotton had receded one-eighth
other descriptions were at former quotations.
The demand for coffee was limited, and breadstuff's
had declined.
i The twenty-fourth o( February had passed qui
etly in Paris, the government not having interlered
with the celebration. The Greek question is in a
lair way to make a general disturbance. The ag
gressive conduct of Lord Palmerstoa in blockading
the Piraus and disturbing the peace of King Otho
has brought out instructions to the Russian Minis
ter in England, to inquire what the British Govern
ment propose; and Russia and France seem deter
mined to maintain the treaty of 1827, which guar
anteed protection to Greece; though Lord Palmer
ston may choose to disrespect it. The result will
be that England will have to break up the block
ade, or fight through the difficulty. The advance
in the prices of the consolidated funds, however,
would seem to show that no serious apprehensions
are entertained in London as to the movement on
the part of Russia.
The Queen of England has offered large rewards
for information, or the restoration, of Sir John
Franklin, or lor any aid that may be extended to
him. This may give a happy stimulus to Mr.
Grinell s expedition from this port, which, in the
main, however, is of anything but a mercenary
character.— N. Y. ’Herald.
Bradford County.
The North Pennsylvanian contains the proceed
'ngs of the Democratic County Meeting held at
Towanda, on the 20th ultimo, over which Hor
iTio Black, Esq. presided, assisted by thirty Vice
Presidents and teh Secretaries. A committee of
nine gentlemen reported a series of spirited and
truly. Democratic resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted. We extract the following:
R«oW, That we regret the late, repeated re
fusals of our present member of Congress to si.sta in
the regular candidates of his party: Liec’iallv when
we find it continued up to the last hour Tn JL
umon with Root, Gidiiings, anil other ’abolition ag*
• tators in Congress, against the regular democratic
nominees for officers of the House of Representa
lives. And we protest against any and all mean
■ires and doetrines which would indicate, that the
Democrats of this district would sanction any union
with Abolitionism; or aqy distinctive principle of
a r t ,L on nu l 'm nS o om the e reat Democratic family
if the Old. Key Stone and the Union. While we do
not claim to be any better Democrats then tho«e
il other sections—we will not silently be set down
29 any worse.
Resolved, That the great security of this Union
is to be found in the tact, that it is the depository
it rhe affections of the people of the Slates and the
common guarantee of their rights: consequently
every attempt on the part of the people of one State
'o interfere with the domestic policy of another—
being calculated to provoke sectional jealousies
neers our unqualified disapprobation..
Resolved, That the free soil , to which oursympa
hies are most devoted—is a free home to the actual
ettler on our public domain; and the keeping ol
hat free r rom the'curse* of monopoly, and •pecula
tion, for all time to eoine.
In the B. g. Senate.
The following interesting discussion took place
in the Senate, on the 18th inst, in reference to a
charge made against Mr. Buchaitas by Mr. Hale,
the Free Soil Senator from New Hampshire. It
will be seen how triumphantly it was refuted by
Messrs. King and Davis :
PERSONAL EXPLANATION.
Mr. KING. I rise, Mr. President, to call the at
tention of the Senator from New Hampshire, [Mr.
Halej to what is published in the Intelligencer of
the 14th inst., purporting to be remarks made in
u ate °f the United States by Mr. Seward and
eff enator t rora New Hampshire, to the following
“ I think it was Jefferson who said, that the nat
ural ally of slavery in the South, was the Democ
racy of ihe North.”
“ Mr. Hale. It wras Mr. Buchanan who 6aid
so.”
I was present, I believe, in the Senate at the
(line, but I was not aware that any such remark
had been made by the Senator from N. Hampshire.
It was only on looking over the paper lately that it
struck my eye, and I was not a lirtJe surprised that
such a remark had been made by the Senator Trom
N. Hampshire, and that it had not been put right
immediately by some Senator better acquainted
with the course of the ex-Senator from Penn'a.
I now ask the Senator Irom New Hampshire to
state where, when, and upon what occasion it was,
that Mr. Buchanan, either in the Senate, or any
where else, made use of the expression to which
he referred, that the northern Democracy were the
natural allies of Slavery in the South?
Mr. HALE. I have not the documents by me
and cannot quote the precise phraseology; and I
did not expect to be called upon to do it at this
time; but I think that I can satisfy the Senator
from Alabama on this subject before many davs
Ido not undertake to ; say what the precise phrase
ology was, but the substance of it was, that the
Democracy of the North were the allies of the
South upon this question of slavery. I repeat that
I can satisly the Senator belore many days, but I
have not the documents by me at this moment.
Mr. KING. I shall wait, then, for the Senator
from New Hampshire to make his researches
merely taking the,occasion to say, that he cannot’,
from any speech ever made by Mr. Buchanan, sus
tain that statement. That Senator, while on this
floor, on several occasions, discussed questions con
nected with the subject of slavery, and the furthest
he ever did go, was to declare that, in his opinion,
the northern Democracy were in favor of protecting
the rights of the South to their slave property under
the Constitution, and that.to them the South might
look for aid in defending and protecting their rights.
That he has said on many occasions; that I hope
and trust he will ever stand by; and I hope there
are many others at the North equally ready to
stand by the declaration, that they are ready to
stand by the rights of the South, under the Consti
tution, to this description of property. Beyond
that lie never did go, and beyond that the Senator
from New Hampshire can never show he went ltt
his researches be ever so diligent. ’
Mr. HALE. It was no part of my intention,
certainly, to do injustice to the late Senator
from Pennsylvania, when I made the remark. I
made it for the purpose of putting the Senator irom
New York [Mr. Seward] right as to a matter c f
history. I spoke Irom recollection entirely. I
think I do not mistake; and I am confirmed in it
by the recollection of the Senator who sits near me,
[Mr Chase.] And I think, and am satisfied, it wit!
be found that Mr. Buchanan went a great deal fur
ther in what he said.
Mr. KING 1 will ask my friend from Missis
sippi [Mr. Davis] to read to the Senate what M -
Buchanan did say.
The CHAIRMAN, [Mr. Clay.] The question
is entirely out of order. There is no question be
fore the Chair.
Mr MANGUM. I move that the Senate now
proceed to the consideration of Executive business.
Mr. DAVIS, of Mississippi. I wish merely to
reier to the language of Mr. Buchanan, as reported
in the Congressional Debates, and will endeavor to
keep mysell in order, in the lew remarks I mat
offer upon it.
Mr. President, I did not hear the .Senator front
New Hampshire make the statement which he is
reported in the National Intelligencer to have made
in relation to Mr. Buchanan. If I had, I should'
have raised the question of accuracy with hint
then. I heard the Senator from New York make
the statement in relation to Mr. Jefferson, and
heard it promptly answered by my colleague and
the Senator from Michigan. Certainly, it is not
rue that Mr. Buchanan or Mr. Jefferson have ever
announced, that the Democracy of the North were
the allies of slavery in the South. That they have
announced that the Democracy of the North were
the natural allies oj the South, is true; and it has
been my pride to believe them so. I wish I could
teel that it were as true now, as in the days when
Mr. Jefferson pronounced it. The Democracy of
the North are, or should be, the natural allies ot the
South in this; that strict construction being their
creed, they therefore should protect them in their
constitutional rights—the. only guaranty that the
minority has ever desired, and one of which it can
never be honestly deprived, under a confederation j
like our own. This sort of alliance Mr Jefferson I
referred to, and this sort ol alliance Mr. Buchanan |
claimed tor the Democracy of the North. If that j
be all that the Senator from New York meant, he I
used bad language to stale his meaning. If that j
be all the Senator from New Hampshire meant, he j
can find in the speeches of Mr. Buchanan a full i
corroboration of that opinion. If more, the Sena
tor from New Hampshire, I think, will fail in his !
researches. i
In February. 1842, Mr. Buchanan stated, what I
believe he would still maintain it he were here, and
what I understand the Senator from Michigan on
mv right [Mr. Cass] to have maintained the other
day. In an argument on the veto power, Mr. Bu
chanan said, at the time to which I have referred :
“ Let me suppose another case of a much more
dangerous character. In the Southern States,
which compose the weaker portion of the Union!
a species of property exists which is now attract
ing’the attention of the whole civilized world.—
These States never would have become parties to
the Union, had not their rights in this property
been secured by the Federal Constitution. Foreign
and Domestic fanatics, some from the belief that i
they are doing God’s service, and others from a '
desire to divide and destroy this glorious Republic, :
have conspired to emancipate the Southern slaves. ,
On this question, the people of the South, beyond
the limbs of their own States, stand alone and un- |
supported by any power on earth, except that of
the northern Democracy.”
That is what Mr. Buchanan stated. Let the
Senator from New Hampshire produce anything j
of his inconsistent with this. It was further amplf- j
fied and powerfully illustrated in the continuation i
ot this speech. To this speech I refer the Senator :
from New Hampshire in any researches he may '
have to make, to sustain his assertion on this sub I
ject. I have read from it. because in it I believe j
Mr. Buchanan went further than in any other, and !
because I am proud of the position therein taken
by that illustrious member of the northern Democ
racy.
The State Legislature.
No day of adjournment has yet been fixed upon
by our Stale Legislature. • The probability is, that
the session will run far into April. Much import
ant business remains yet to be done. The Appor
tionment Bill and the General Banking Bill have
passed the House, and are now before the Senate.
Three important Divorce Cases are before the
Legislature, which excite considerable attention
one in which a Dr. Wetherill is the applicant—
another in which Mr. Forrest, the Tragedian,
complains, as the aggrieved party—and a third, in
which Lieut. Middleton, of the Navy, prays to
have the marriage tie severed. It will be observed
that, in all these cases, the gentlemen are the pai
ties who ask for Legislative interference. In the
case of Mr. Forrest, the Judiciary Committee
have reported a bill in favor of granting his appli
cation. We presume there must be some strong
facts in the case to warrant their decision—yet,
the public are becoming somewhat excited and
uneasy in relation to the many applications of this
kind that have of late years been presented to the
Legislature. We think the Courts ought to decide
all such questions, inasmuch as they have facilities
tor acquiring correct knowledge of the merits of
the applications which the Legislature cannot
possibly haVe.
An Cditor Looking Up!
Our friend Bratton, and worthy, successor in the
American Volunteer has been elected a member
of the Town Council for the Borough of Carlisle!!
We congratulate him upon his good luck, (tPehad
the honor once of being a member of that august
body!) and should not be surprised, now that he has
taken the first step up the ladder, to hear of him,
some day or other, reaching the highest pinnacle of
fame. We believe it was Shakspeare who said;
“There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flow,leads on to fortune.”
We hope our friend will meekly bear his blush
ing honors. ’Tis not • vary day such luck comss.

Changing Front!
I am pleased to see that the people of Pennsyl
vania are taking the right course in regard to the
perpetuity of the Union. Non-intervention has ever
been the policy ot the people of that great- State,
and they are now nobly avowing it. This is the
proper course. Let those to whom slavery is guar
antied by the compromises of the constitution eitb
er regain or abolish it as they may deem proper.
On this subject Pennsylvania, by her geographical
position, can do much good and she is looked up to
here with much confidence. But I wish the whole
people could see the condition and situation of the
slave population of this State."' I leel confident their
opinions would change. No set of people live bet
ter and do less work. They are well fed, well clo
thed, and when sick, or even pretending to be sick
have the best medical attendance. ’
The above extract we clip from the Portsmouth
(Va.) correspondence of the Union and Tribune, of
this city—and, inasmuch as it is published without
any comments from the Editor, we presume that
it coincides with his sentiments. It we are correct,
then we should like to know when the “change came
o'er the spirit ol his dream," and how he can recon
cile his laudatory notices ol Mr. Steve.vs' Aboli
tion harangue with the sentiments here avowed.—
The dcctrine o[ non-intervention is the doctrine of
the Democratic party, distinctly avowed by them
in the last Presidential canvass, and reiterated over I
and over again by their presses, orators and states- ,
men in all sections ol the Union. That it has now- j
become, to a great extent, the policy of the Whigs, ;
we freely admit—but, with them, it was an alter- ;
thought, and only reflects, more glaringly, their !
strange inconsistencies. This, however, is a strik
ing peculiarity of the Whig party. They are al- !
ways behind the age in almost every thing, and !
only deck themselves in Democratic habiliments
after they have become threadbare by long and
constant use.
But we do not complain of our neighbor—on the
contrary, we give him joy'of his conversion to the
true political faith, and most 'cheerfully welcome
him into the ranks as a co-laborer in the true, or
thodox Democratic doctrine. Whether-his zeal in
the good cause of non-intervention is to be lasting
and permanent, time only can determine. There is
such a thing as “boxing the political compass"—
but we hope for the best. At all events, we think
he will hold fast to his present opinion until Gen.
Taylob changes his course.
Bank Honesty!
j Bicknell’s Reporter of Tuesday last, after publish
j ing and directing attention to the advertisement of
: the fifteen Philadelphia Banks, cautioning the pub
| lie in reference to the notes fraudulently manufac
i lured from pieces of the mutilated notes, says:
j Now this is all very well so far as it goes, but
, we have reason to know that some of the Banks
;of Philadelphia go a little further. They not only
; refuse to take bank notes that are manufactured in
' the fraudulent manner above described, but they
also-refuse to receive notes that have been torn by
accident, and in passing from hand to hand. Thus
the public, instead of being protected, are made
victims. We will not name any institution at the
present time, in a hope that this hint will prove ,
sufficient. The policy alluded to is not only wrong,
but it is calculated to create distrust with regard
to all descriptions of Bank notes—for upon no sub
ject are the citizens of the interior more easily
alarmed. A word to the wise, &c. Another error
on the part of certain Banks is, the use of fragile
and thin paper, which tears by handling.— Bick.
Public Buildings at Washington.
The Senate Committee on Public Buildings hav®
agreed to report in favor of building two new wings
to the Capitol, 150 feet each in length, making in
all an addition to the length of that superstructure,
north and south, of 300 feet. The north end is to
be devoted to a splendid new Senate Chamber, the
south end to a new Hall for the House of Repre
sentatives—the present Senate to be for the Su
preme Court, and the House of Representatives for
the Library.
Prosecuting Attornies, &c. *
A bill, providing for the election of Prosecuting
Attoinies by the people, passed the Senate on
Thursday last, by a vote of 29 to 2.
A'bill passed the House on the same day, provi
ding for the election of the Auditor General and
Surveyor General, by the people, to take effect at
the next General Election.

| Death of Nathaniel B Boileau.
We learn from our exchanges, that this gentle
man who formerly acted a prominent part in the
politics of Pennsylvania, died at his residence in
Abington, Montgomery county, on the 10th inst.,
at the advanced age of 88 years. Mr. Boieeau
was at an early day an active member of the State
Legislature, and took a leading part in the famous
impeachment of the Judges in the session of ISOS
—O. He held the office of Secretary ot the Com
monwealth under Governor Sxyder, during the
nine years of his administration, and was a candi
| date for the nomination lor Governor before the
! Democratic State Convention of 1817, but was un
! successful, the choice falling upon the Hon. W.m.
| FixnLAY. Since then he has remained in retire
ment in Montgomery county, where his long life
: has now ended in (he midst of his warm friends.
The French Minister.
The New French Minister, M. Bois Le Cosipte,
was presented to the President on yesterday week,
at the White House, in presence ot all the members
of the Cabinet. The speech of M. LeCompte was
pacific and conciliatory—so also the reply of Gen-
I'AYLon. The interview throughout was a very
agreeable one to all who were in attendance.
BD-CoI. Johx Barr, of Columbia, has our thanks
for a favor conferred in the shape of several new
subscribers to the “ Intelligencer." We hope some
more of ofir subscribers will imitate this praise
worthy example. Come, Iriends, try what you can
do in this respect
irrThe President has is>ued an order to the Sec
retary of War, directing that the full uniform now
worn in the army, a blue dress coat with white
buff linings, band box hat, &c. &c., shall be thrown
aside, and the undress frock now worn shall be the
lull uniform, with the addition of epaulettes, sash,
Ac. &c., the removal of which makes an undress
unilorm. The dress coat worn by the privates is
substituted by a sack.
07* The trial ot Professor Webster, for the mur
der of Dr. Parkman, commenced at Boston, on
Tuesday last, and is still progressing.
How Defaulters are Made.
Here is a case which the Editor of the Albany
Argus says is within his own knowledge. The
present government at Washington seems to think
it necessary to publish a defalcation occasionally,
whether one exists or not, so that it may furnish
a sort of semblance or justification for its violated
promises in proscribing Democratic officers:.
The Argus says:—"An instance comes within
our knowledge, in which a Postmaster, on closing
his accounts on the eve of change, was informed
I h “ t “alanoe standing against him was nearly
5-0,000. Exact, carelul and prompt, he was sur
prised at the intimation; but, knowing it to be a
mistake, he repaired at once to the seat of Govern
ment. There, the accounts of. several of the bu
reaus proved a balance against him ol the sum na
med Pursuing the examination, however, he at
length discovered that a payment made by him ot
510,000 had been charged against him! This dis
covery at once disposed of the matter; but had he
died without giving it a personal examination, he
would have been branded as a delaulter, and his
lamily and sureties compelled to pay the money."
If the Whig office-holders throughout the coun
try manage the business entrusted to their charge, j
with the same honesty and economy as the Demo- !
cratic incumbents, the people will have no reason j
to complain.
ltfew YorU Spring Elections.
(£ Behold how brightly breaks the morning.”
Long existing and lamentable divisions which
have existed in the ranks of the Democracy, in the
State of New York, have at length, been happily
healed; and we now see the glorious results. The
Spring Elections throughout the State, so far as we
have ascertained, have resulted favorably to the
Democratic party. Our triends are no‘longer divi
ded in the Empire State. The quarrelling is now
confined exclusively to the Seward and Anti-Seward
Whigs.
We have already announced the triumphant elec
tion of Henry K. Smith, as Mayor of the City of
Buffalo. The result shows a gain of SEVEN HUN
DRED AND SE\ ENTY-NINE since last spring
—a result, says the Courier of that city, “ brought
about by the untiring exertions of true men, faithful
to the Democratic party through good and evil.—
Never (it adds,) did the Democracy of Buffalo more
truly distinguish themselves by cordiality of feeling
and harmony and unity of action, than on this oc-
Stracuse Redeemed. —The Syracuse Standard
announces a Waterloo defeat of Taylor Whiggery
in that city. The Democratic candidate for Mayor
has been elected by six hundred majority. The
Syracuse Journal (whig,) brings in the following
verdict upon the catastrophe:
The result is a signal and total defeat of the
Whigs, both on the city and the several ward tick
ets.
Rochester. —Richardson, Democrat, is elected
Mayor by three hundred and fifty to four hundred
majority; and a Democratic overseer of, the poor
and city attorney.
Clinton Countt Erect. —A letter to the Al
bany Atlas, from Plattsburgh,NJafch 6, says: “Our
town meeting in this county came off yesterday.-,
Eleven of the twelve towns elected Democratic
Supervisors. Last yeg-f, seven to five.”
[From the Mftdison County Reflector.')
Hamilton Redeemed.— Afterthemost strenuous
exertions on the part of both Democratic and Whig
parties, the Majority of the Democratic ticket was
elected last. Mr. Green, ourcandidate
for Supervisor, is elected by ninety four of a ma
jonty - "; Mason, Justice, is elected by about sixteen.
It/is impossible to give the exact majorities, but it
A enough that the town has gone Democratic.
Glorious News from LEBA*oS!--Lebanonhas
gone Democratic! The Democratic Supervisor is
elected by one majority. Tho remainder of the
ticket equally close, but the majority is Democratic
Madison has also gone Democratic.

E7“lhe following is the communication, from
G. Washinoaon Baker, Esq., referred to in our
last:
Mil. Editor: —Your paper, circulating exten
sively in the States, affords a most desirable medium
for the transmission of uselui and reliable informa
tion with regard to the Isthmus and the manner of
crossmg.it. To this purpose t have employed a
lew leisure moments, and if my reflections are
worthy your attention you may possi ly oblige a
portion of your readers by their insertion.
The town ol Chagres has nothing to excite in
terest or invite delay. It consists of some hundred
ranches or huts built of palm cane, one story high
and in size usually 12 by 10. At pre.-ent therels
but one hotel of any account for the rough accom
modation of the traveller. This will soon, how
ever, be remedied by the enterprise of Messrs
Millers and Williams, who have shipped a large
hotel, expressly arranged and fitted up lor the com
fort of the transient visitor, as well as the sojourner
at Chagres.
The natives are extremely simple in their dress.
The men more particularly would tickle the fancy
of Dr. Collyer, as they are ready to group in model
statuary on any required degree of nakedness,—
With these men the traveller must now make an
acquaintance. From the influx of Americans they
have become shrewd and extortionate in their con
trac l B, and the fussy traveller readily becomes a
victim to their demands. Those who abide their
time, can make the best and cheapest bargain, and
one day lost in Chagres can easily be gained in the
passage up the river. A large canoe should be
engaged having room for the baggage of two or
three passengers, fore and aft, leaving 7 feet in the
middle with a covering over it for their accommo
dation, sheltering them lrom ‘he sun during the day
and lrom the dew at night. Such a canoe should
be manned by four, certainly not less than three,
stout fellows, and Gorgona can be reached in 30
hours.
Chagres river commands unbounded admiration.
It flows in placid, unostentatious beauty. In its
winding course it seems to delight in developing
the rich and varied scenery so abundant upon its
banks. The vegetation can be exceeded no where
in magnificence. The beauty, luxuriance and fra
grance ot its shores must be seen to be appreciated
—no language can do them justice. One seems as
though in aalream. or enjoying the works of a
supernatqral agency. Nor are there any drawbacks
to the passage of this delightful river—no crocodiles
to frjght one from his propriety, nor huge alligators
to/Tevour the human kind. With these reflections
we arrive at Gorgona.
Ranchos situated on a high bluff in a turn of the
river compose the town. There are several hotels
here, among which the “ Panama Railroad House”
has no competitor for comfort in its arrangements
and courtesy in its proprietors. The present build
ing is to be enlarged by the addition of 85 feet
leet square 2 stories high, with partitioned rooms
which will form a new era in hotel keeping here.
There are two methods for the transportation of
baggage to Panama. One on the backs of mules,
the other on the backs of the natives.
The first is to be greatly preferred. Indeed, I
would seriously caution travellers against entrusting
natives with their baggage, and if they do, never
to lose sight of it until safely lodged at Panama.
I do not mean to say that they are dishonest, but
they are becoming so from example, and they will
disappoint you by-delay, from a hundred causes, to
the risk ot your detention at this place. Forward
ing merchants, ot responsible character, are -now
engaged in this trade, and upon the receipt of your
baggage they will bind themselves, in writing, to
have it in Panama at the rime and place specified,
or be responsible for failing so to do.
Having packed your baggage and obtained a
mule or horse for yourself, you start for Panama.
The path through the mountains beggars all des
cription. It is painfully crooked, one continual up
and down for miles, across creeks and ravines. .
