AUDITOR GENERAL, EPHRAIM BANKS, OF MIFFLIN COUNTY FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL, J. PORTER BRAWLEY, OP CRAWFORD COUNTY When will Mr. BUChallall Sall I This is a question that in so frequently asked, and gives rise to so many speculations in the public press, that it may be well enough to state what his intentions are. We, therefore, inform the public on the best-of authority, that it is his purpose, life and health permitting, to sail from New York, on Sat urday the 6th of August, that being the time when the next American steamer leaves for Europe, in which he has engaged & passage. He would have sailed on Saturday last, the 23d inst., but was dis appointed in receiving certain despatches and state papers from Washington as soon as he expected.— He has been ready for the last week, and had the documents came to hand by Wednesday last, it was his full determination to leave home on Thursday for New York, and he would now have been three days out at sea. Mr. B. will leave Wheatland in a few days, and, after spending a short time in Philadelphia and New York, will sail as above stated. The Iron Trade. Accordingto a calculation in the Pittsburg Post, the iron manufacturers of this country have a sure demand before them of nearly $300,000,000 for fabrics to be turned Out from their manufactories —a demand that will require all, and more than all their capacity to supply fast enough. The cal culations upon which the statements are based, is the extent of railroad now in course of construction with ohe hundred tons per mile, single track it would require 1,300,000 tons of iron. rail to com plete the thirteen thousand miles of railroad, either in progress, or which will be in progress ere long, including the Pacific railroad. At $5O per ton this would require an outlay of $65,000,00 for tracks alone. But many of these roads will be double tracks, besides turn-outs,' &c! Then follow a vast outlay for cars, locomotives, and other iron works about such roads. And it may be fairly estimated that all the iron for them will. cost nat less than $150,000,000. Ocean and inland steamers, iron - ships, manufacturing machinery, iron buildings, and all the other innumerable uses to which iron is ap- plied will require as much more; making an ag gregate sure demand for $300,000,000 worth of iron. Besides which; many other railways will be chartered and undertaken every year to keep up a steady demand to that amount for many years to come; it pot a constantly increasing amount. With the high price of iron abroad and the demand at home, the iron manufacturers have a tolerable lair prospect of profit before them, without the aid of legislation to help them or their business, at the ex pense of other industrial pursuits. State Conventions The Democratic State Convention' to nominate a candidate for the Supreme Court, will meet at Harrisburg, on Thuisday next, the 28th init. The Whig State •Convention will meet, for a similar purpose, at Huntingdon, on the 25th of P.uguist. Tne Native American Convention, to nominate a lull Mate ticket, will meet at Philadelphia, an the 10th of August The following named gentlemen ai thele gates to the State Convention from this County: Col. Samuel C. Stambaugh, Dr. John Martin, Dr. Devi Hutt, Hiram B. bwarr, Esq., Col. William s. Amweg, F. K. Curran, Esq.

The attention of Teachers and all others interested (who is not?) in the cause of education is invited to this Convention. Its object we under stand to be to elevate the standard of education in our Common Schools by better qualifying Teach ers for their important work, and regulating the course of instruction. 04 - It appears that for two or three weeks past the cars, east and west, aniving at Columbia, stop in trout of Mrs. Haines' Hotel, instead of Col. Herr's, us lormerly—the two Hotels being about 80 test apart. This change, judging hrom a silly commu nication in the last Examiner, is likely to produce ''one universal burst of us'ignation all over the Commonwealth," and we should not be surpi ised it the scenes of the celebrated Buckshot War were re-enacted over again! We hope the writer won't evaporate during the dog days! I,e' We received a reply (but at too late an hour tor publication this week) to the communication in the last Examiner on the subject of the removal or abolishment of Goshen P. 0., and the establish ment of Fulton House P. 0., wnich completely ex poses the misstatements and mis-representatipns in regard to tile appointmsnt of Mr. BARNES to the latter place. We presume, the greatest objection of the Examiner's correspondent, if he would speak his real sentiments, is because the office was taken from a full-blooded, red-mouthed Whig, and given to an honest.tard-working Democrat. Judge Camp bell will hardly pay much attention to complaints from that quarter. 117'WEL11/I'S GREAT PARISIAN HIPPODROME is to be here on Friday and Saturday next. This is said to be one of the largest establishments of the kind in the world, and has been very successful wherever exhibitions have been given. Of course, "all the world and' the rest of mankind " will go to see it when it comes here. V' Col. Joan PRICE Wrragninx., a prominent citizen and Whig politician of Philadelphia, died in that city on Sunday morning last, in the 59th year of his age. He had been ill for about ten days with Dysentery, having been attacked with the disease in New York, whither he had gone as one of the escort to President Pierce. Err A conflict has arisen between the U. States authorities and the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia, relative to a fugitive slave, 'named Fisher, who was decided to be such by Commission er Ingraham and delivered over to Marshal Wyn.. koop for the purpose of conveying him to his mas ter in Maryland. Judge Thompson issued a writ , of habeas corpus, requiring the Marshal to bring the slave into court, which the latter refused, where upon a warrant was issued and the Marshal placed under arrest for contempt of Court. So the matter stood on. Saturday evening. The affair has pro duced considerable excitement in Chesnut street. tIZT The up train from Philadelphia run off the track near Gallagherville, on Friday last, in con sequence of a switch being out of order. No in jury was sustained, but the train was delayed about four hours. 1:12 - The Governor has issued his warrant for the execution of Jewell, Low confined in the Pittsburg prison under sentence of death for the murder of Mitchell. The day fixed is the 2d of September, The Opposition Party. There are now certainly some indications, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, that the prediction of W.- ETER, made just before his death, that after the Pres idential election then ensuing, the Whig party would exist only in history, was a truly prophetical.re, mark, in which the usual political sagacity of that great statesman was exhibited. In addition to the fact that since that event,. elections have been- held in five States entitled to twenty-eight members of the next Congress, and that all chosen - were Demo crats, we notice that in California, the Whig State Central Committee have issued a formal circular to their political brethren proposing to abandon the odious name of Whig, and take in its stead that of California Republicans—that in Wisconsin the Whig State Convention adjourned without nomi nating a State ticket, thus throwing overboard their distinctive organization—that in Georgia they have taken the name of Republican Union Party, and in New York there ;re some marked indications that the opposition to the Democracy at the State elec tion next fall will be something different from that of the late Whig organization, compused of different materials. In Ohio an effort is being made to throw over board the old Whig party, by uniting with the Abo_ litionists, thus forming a new coalition party under probably a different name; and in short, throughout the Union, with the exception of the States of iTen nessee and Kentucky, there are movements on foot to break up and destroy the old Whig organization as it existed under the lead of CLAY and WEBSTER. There seems to be a general opinion all over the land among those individuals who have heretofore been opposed to the Democracy, that the Whig par ty, like its principles, has become obsolete, and tha t there is no' further use for it in the political field' and that it must be got rid of before any formid able opposition can be arrayed against the present Democratic National Administration. The name of Whig has been brought into such disrepute by the bad and unpopular conduct of that faction—such as the treasonable "aid and comfort" it afforded Mexico during the war with that power— its base and ungrateful conduct toward its great po litical leaders—its repeated support of mere mili tary.chieftains for the highest office in the nation, who owed all their laurels to a war which it had denounced as infamous—its yielding to all the pes tilent isms and heresies of the day—its degeneracy into a mere abolition faction north of Mason & Dix on's Line—its identification with Galphinism and other frauds and peculations upon the Treasury— its pusillanimous and imbecile Foreign policy—its abandonment of all the principles which it once professed—and its support of the weak and corrupt administration of TAYLOR and FILLMORE, which alone would have been sufficient to have ruined any. party, that it is no wonder that the individuals who have heretofore been known, when banded together, by that distinctive I ll ppellation, should desire to get rid of a name that has so many ugly associations and awakes so many disagreeable reminiscences. It would be strange indeed if the Whig party should survive much longer in its present form, for aside from the force of habit and the ties of old con nection, the members composing it have no bond of union whatever to induce them to act together.— Were it not for these facts it would immediately crumble to pieces, and it remains to be seen how much longer they will be adequate to its preserva tion. The singular anomaly is now presented of an organization without any distinctive measures —without any end or object to beattained if it had the control of the General Go vernment—so far, at least, as the public are informed—without any liv ing principle of vitality, continuing in the political field merely because it has been accustomed to do so, maintaining a regular opposition solely from a remembrance of the past, rather than any thing else. According to the testimony of one of its lead ing organs, the Cincinnati Gazette, it has abandoned its measures, of domestic policy, one after another until it now scarcely differs ft om the Democracy —and yet, notwithstanding all this, it still main tains its separate organization. Can this state of things long continue? Can a party exist for any length of time without some po litical rallying cry, some creed that shall be pecul iar to it, which shall attach its members to the or ganization that it is formed to carry it cut? This is a question which the future history of the Whig party will solve. Its leaders, especially in those parts of the country where it is in the majority, and where, by keeping up its organization, they stand a chance to enjoy the spoils of office, will do all they can to effect this object, but whether the mass es, who expect no office, and who heretofore have been united together to carry out certain principles which they deemed essential to the prosperity of the country, will consent to remain so after all hope of attaining their purpose has been abandoned, is somewhat questionable, it appears to us. It is, however, a matter of but little interest to Democrats, whether the Whigs disband and come up under a new name; or whether they adhere to their old organization, as long as it is certain that opposition to the benign and beneficent principles of Democracy is destined ever to continue, like the strife between good and evil, to the end of the world. It is probably the case that the interests of the De mocracy *will be best subserved by the Whigs con tinuing to support their present organization, for a weaker and more unpopular one with the people could not possibly be formed; and as long as it is in the field the Democrats will succeed nearly all the time. There are so many "mill stories," to use an expression of THURLOW WEED, the distinguished editor of the Albany Evening Journal, attached to the Whig party in the shape of old recollections and associations, weighing it down with such crush ing weight that those are the shrewd men of the party desire to escape from them, if possible, by a change of name and organization. It is true that its identity can be traced through all the dodges and different appellations which it may assume in the future as it has been in the past; but it is attended with some labor and difficulty; and some persons are likely to be deceived by an old thing under a new name, as they were by the change from Federalism to Whigism, many indi. viduals attached to the latter always pertinaciously denying that it has any relation to the former; and we have seen those who were hard to convince of the fact, strange as it may appear to tm who is converdant with our political history. As we have got used to the term, we rather hope that the coun sel of the more..thick-headed and stupid, but alto gether the most honest members of the Whig party will be listened to, and that it will not go in search of a new alias, but adhere to the one by which it is now known, which was a glorious appellation once, before it was so sadly used by its present possessors. What an unenviable laiftry is that of the opposi. tion_to the Democracy of this country ! Trace it down through all its different phases, and it will be observed that not a single measure that it ever fa vored is to be found engrafted upon the legislation of the country; all have either been repudiated by the people, or have become obsolete by lapse of time. Its history has been literally barren of results without any practical good, and its whole effort has seemed to be to hold the nation back in its rapid progress along the path . of national greatness and renown. The conservative element which has ever been omnipotent in controlling its organization has always been dreadfully frightened at the march of events, and has made the 'most fearful prognostica tions of ruin and disaster at every step, and it is to the Democratic party which has taken a juster view of our political necessities, and of the capabil ities of our Government, and which has persevered in its policy, despite ill-oniened predictions and croaking, that the country is indebted for all those wise measures that have contributed to its present proud position in the eyes of the world. [ETA fire occured at Cincinnati, on Thursday last' whiCh destroyed property to the amount of about $5O, 000. The Rogues Caught. We observe by the Pottswille papers, that all the property of the Heilners, and others, who implicated in the coal frauds at Potts ville, by cheating'- the Reading Railroad com pany out ,of, it supposed, about $300,000, has been seized by the Sheriff.., These people, it is said, have Iseen for years in the habit of making false returns'of the amount of coal transported over the ioad, thus evading the payment of tolls, and luxuriating upon these frauds, whilst, at the same time, they were breaking dow-n honest, honorable and, worthy competitors. who had to pay the full tolls. Justice, however, has at length overtaken them, and now all their property is in the hands of the law. If they could be made compensate the honest and hard working operatives whom they have defrauded alike with the Railroad, it would be but an act of justice. Such scoundrels ought to be sent to the Penitentiary for life, where many an honester man has to go for a less heinous On the subject of these frauds the Pottsville Min ing Register says: The investigation of these frauds has been going on, and sufficient progress has been made to ascer tain the fact, that no other operators, than the three at first ,spoken of, have bad any participation in the affair. A "feeler" was at one time thrown out to the Forest Improvement Company, by the agent through whom this species of business was carried on, but he met with so decided a rebuff from this Company, that he backed out by pretending that the large return sent them at the time, was an er ror in reckoning. The attempt to make this com pany participants in the plunder was never renewed. Until the discovery of the fraud was made, it was believed that Payne and the Heilners, were enabled to sell at less price than their neighbors,. because they carried on their extensive operations with su perior business tact; and ,though their transactions were oppressive to others; yet they were looked up to as men of superior capacity, and as only avail ing themselves of legitimate advantages. But this revelation has at once changed the aspect of things, and they stand now revealed, as having been the scourge of the region. In addition to the wrong inflicted on'the Reading Railroad Company, and on some purchasers of coal, these frauds have had a deleterious influence on the whole trade of this region, and to an amount in value that at first sight would seem almost incredible. During the last four years this section has sent to market 7,354,323 tons of coal, and if; through the under bidding oi these men, the price of coal has been reduced but five cents per ton, they have injured the trade here to the amount of $367,000, or it they cut it down to the amount of ten cents per ton, the operators here have suffered to the amount of $735,000. Of course it is impossible to arrive at the exact reduction that has been effected through them; Inft the probability is that the largest sum does not cover the amount, and possibly not ball the amount. Female Medical College. We have received a copy of the Fourth Annu al Announcement" of the Female Medical College - Of Pennsylvania, located at No. 229 Arch street; Philadelphia—from which we learn that the num ber of Students during the session of 1852-.3 was 31, of which 17 hailed from Pennsylvania, 6 from New York, 2 from Connecticut, 1 from Massachu setts, 1 from Rhode Island, 1 from Ohio, 1 from ll linois,. 1 from Canada, and I from England.

J. H. Fisher in the chair; Peter Hay and Andrew Morrison, Vice Presidents, and John H.Frick,Sec retary. After an interesting and eloquent address from Judge Sutherland, comprising an account of the proceedings of the Convention of the Soldiers of the War of 1812, held at New York, on the 4th inst., the following resolutions were unanimously. adopted. Resolved, That we learn with much pleasure that the Convention of officers and soldiers of the war of 1812, welch assembled at New York on the 4th of July, have resolved to participate in the NA CorrvENTIoN, to be held at Philadelphia on the Bth of January, 1854. Resolved, That from the pledges already receiv ed from other States, it is the opinion of this meet ing that the Convention of the Sth ofJanuary next will be one of the largest and most respectable ever held in this city. Resolved, That with a view to ascertain the whole number of persons in Pennsylvania, who served in the war of 1812, it is recommended that meetings be held for that purpose in the several counties of this State, during the session of their courts,.prior to the sth of January next, and that delegates be elected at said meetings, to represent 'them in the National Convention. Resolved, That it is important that every soldier who served in the war of 1812, in any of the States of the Union, should obtain from his captain or other surviving officer, a certificate of his service, in order that he or his heirs may be in possession of satisfactory proof of his identity. Resolved, That those who served on ship-board and the sons of those who served on land or sea,as well as those who were imprisoned at Tripoli, be entitled to seats in the National Convention, and that they also be requested to obtain certificates of identity. Resolved, That we adjourn to meet in this place on the evening of the 10th September next, the an niversary of Perry's Victory. Resolved, That the several newspapers of this State be requested to copy the foregoing proceed ings; and that the editors of newspapers through out the Union will oblige the meeting by calling at tention to the Convention on the Bth of January next. COLUMBIA. GAs Works.—The Columbia Spy an nounces the completion of the Gas Works in that place, and the introduction of the new and brilliant light into Many of the public and private houses of that borough. - After giving a description of the works, the Spy mentions in terms of praise the con tractors, superitendent, &c., under whose charge the works were constructed,concluding with the fol lowing tribute to Mr. A.S. Green: Last, but not least, " comes the Secretary and Treasurer of the company, A, S. Green. To him are our people mainly indebted for the Columbia Gas Works. With him the project originated, and he it was who pushed it forward, notwithstanding the many difficulties he encountered in the work. Thanks, we say, to Mr. Green. Our people could not manifest their gratitude in a more appropriate way than by giving him a complimentary dinner or supper., We make the suggestion, believing that such a testimonial would be a just tribute to one who deserves cur lasting gratitude. " FLAX CULTULL IN INDIA3eA.-11. T. Brown, of Crawfordsville, in a communication to Gov. Wright president of the Indiana State Board of Agriculture, says: . I send you a few samples of flax cotton,' pre sented to me by H. L. Ellsworth, of Lafayette.— Mr. Ellsworth has on hand the 'stem' grown on 120 acres last season, which he supposes will yield about 300 pounds per acre of cotton. The expense of reducing the fibre to this state, after the stem is produced, is about two cents per pound, which at the usual price for cotton, (10c.) will leave eight cents per pound, or $24 per acre for the farmer Who produces it. To this must be added the value of the seed, which will range from $6 to $8 pee acre —giving a final result of $2O at least for each acre. This is Mr. Ellsworth's calculation ; it may be too high; but it we allow for the magnifying effect of his zeal one-third, or even one-half; still flax would bq as profitable a crop, in proportion to the amount of labor required to produce it, as any of the ate. pies of the country." The Right Spirit. It having been proposed in Georgia to run Hon. 'AL A. Chappell for Congress in opposition' to the regular democratic nomination, he publishes a let ter showing that the empty - complialefiWof the conservatives are wasted upon him. "1 am,,' he says, "a friend and supporter of the present demo cratic administration." He,continoes: • "I contributed byAny vote . to the bringing of. that administration into power. I have confidence in the great national party by which that adminis tion was brought into power. Of course, I cannot consistently with my views and convictions oh na tional polictics, take position in the ranks Of a par ty in Georgia, which is inevitably destined, as I think. to be an opposition party—a party antago nistic to Gen. Pierce's administration, and 'to the national democracy. The northern democratic party has, in my opinion, from the days of Jeffer son down to the present hour,: been characterised in the main, by friendliness and justice to the south. They haire stood by us in a thousand trials ; they have fought, and either conquered or fallen for us in a thousand hard political battles. Yes! and they were, as a body, with us in that last and greatest battle Of all, the battle upon the compromise ques tions growing out of the acquisition of New Mex loco and California. I cannot bring myself to turn my back on such a northern party, and on an ad ministration which I concurred with it in electing, until.it shall manifest a spirit and a conduct sig nally discordant with the general tone of its past history and character. My devotion to the south led me in 1844, when representing the state in con gress, to cast off all political connection with the northern whigs, because I saw and knew for my- . self, that as a mass, they were intensely leavened, thoroughly penetrated with hostility to the south. From that period I have been led by the same de votion-to the south, to advocate the policy of act ing with and sustaining the northern democratic party, because I saw and knew for myself, that that party was as a body, thoroughly imbued with just feelings and a friendly bias towards the south, and acted habitually under the influence of such feel ings. Under these circumstances, and entertaining these convictions, it is, of course, impossible for me to idemnily myself with any party in Georgia, under whose banner I would inevitably, as I believe, soon find myself in a position of alliance with the na tional Whig party, and of hostility to that national democratic party, to which I have been attached, which I have just helped to carry into power, and in which I still have 'confidence, although some things have transpired in appointments to office by the President which I could have wished had been otherwise. • Nevertheless, being an optimist in polities, (if I may borrow a phrase from that great statesman, Mr. Buchanan,) I shall continue to support Gen. Pierce's administration, and to act with the party by which it is supported, until something shall oc cur (which Heaven . forbid) making such a course no longer the best which a southern man can par. sue." Gov. BIGLER.—There is a powerful under cur rent in the Locotoco party aiming at the defeat of Gov: Bigler in the next Locofoco State Convention. His proscriptive course towards a certain wing of his party, and his miserable servility to the dictateS of Buchanan. have alienated from him many of the most influential Locofocos in the State; and they seem determined that their power shall be felt when ihe time comes tor another Gubernato rial nomination. We are for Bigler flat-footed, and anything we can do to secure his re-nomination shall be done cordially. We want the man who claimed the power to reform even Gov. Johnson's wise and economical administration, and then sad dled several millions of debt upon us, to come be fore the-people again and stand by the fruits of his official career. All we ask is Gov. Bigler and a fair fight. Stand by him and trot him out.Cham bersburg Whig. So far as regards that "under current," Mr. Whig we are not quite certain that they formed any part of the mass who gave Gov. BIGLER above nineteen thousand majority, in 1851, over Gov. JOHNSTON, who was without doubt the strongest man in your party. That " nnder current" have, heretofore, through -the basest motives, defeated some good and true men in the Democratic ranks, but their real objects have always been disguised, and the delu ded followers who hang to their skirts were made to believe that it was for the welfare of our good old Corbmonwealth which they profess to have greatly at heart. Spread the truth Mr. Wing, that Gov. BIGLER refused to place them in situations where they might again dip theirnds into the coffers of the Commonwealth—that this is the rea son of their hostility to him and the nub on'which you hang your hopes of his overthrow,—and where hirelings by hundreds are forced to vote against him; honest, free-thinking, free-acting men by thousands will rush to his rescue. Gov. Bror.xn " saddled several millions of debt upon us," did he, pray? When and how was this done? We were aware that be had borrowed. about that amount at 4i per ct. to pay off over dire 6 per ct. bonds, by which the State will make an annual saving of several hundred thousand dollars! We knew, too, that nearly a million had been bor rowed to complete the North Branch Canal, but we think.that expenditure will probably be a bet- ter investment than the Gettysburg Tape Worm or the Wiconisco Feeder,—monuments of Whig misrule and warnings for the future. Should Guy. Bloma continue to pursue the straight-forward, consistent course which has mark ed his ad ministration thus far—as he will, without doubt—he can defy all the elernentsul faction com bined;—and the "under current" will probably be swept so deeply into the whirlpool that they will come clean out on 'father side. Hope they may, for they do the party more injury by belonging to it, than they possibly can by opposing it.—Lewisburg Democrat. GOVERNOR Brozza.--The administration of Gov ernor Bigler has been marked by a degree of con sistency, honesty and firmness that has secured for him the confidence and regard of the people. His re-nomination is conceded as an act of justice to an incorruptibly honest and tearless public servant,— Interested and disappointed politicians may some times feel and express dissatislaction at the acts of the agents of the people, but he who, like Gover ner Bigler, pursues a straight forward honest adhe rence to the public interests, will always have the sympathies and support of the masses. TheM is no act of Gov. Bigler lairly viewed, welch does not challenge admiration. His messages all indicate a high-toned sense of State pride, earnest and sincere devotion to the public interests. His recommenda tions have all looked to a firth maintainance of the public credit, and whenever they have been secon ded, have realized fully the anticipations. A clear headed honest-hearted man, modest and nuassuming his ambiiion looking only to be useful to the peo ple in promoting their weal, he wine all hearts.— Those even who differ from him in political senti ment, bear willing testimony to his integrity of purpose. Any attempt to defeat his re-nomination will meet an indignant rebuke at the hands of the honest " toiling millions " who rallied to his sup port and placed him in the Executive Chair of our good old Keystone. He has hilly met their expec tations, and they will be prompt to signify their ap probation of his administration when the day ot trial comes. We speak confidently, when we say the Democracy of 114.tflim" will be among the first to demand and insist upon his re nomination.—Lewistoirm. True Democrat. SOMETHING NEW FOR THE LADIES.—We have had left with us, by the agent for this city, Mr, J. C. Armor, a new self-heating smoothing iron, which combines the requisite quality for being heated and kept in each a state for an indefinite period. The iron, which is of the ordinary shape, is hollow, having at its point, or over it, a sort of chimney, with a draught behind. Within the iron live coals are placed, and by means of the aperture referred to, sufficient draught is obtained to keep the iron constantly hot. We are informed that a cent>s worth of charcoal will furnish fuel for, a daps iron ing, and thus is avoided the inconvenience of a hot stove or range to heat it. The iron is little larger than the ordinary size, and no greater in weightl and therefore can be used with the same conven t ience as the old fashioned or ordinary sad iron. Daily News. ll f 117 The Gubernatorial question is being agitir ted by some of our editorial brethren, and dorib4l thrown out as to whether Gov. Bigler should re ceive the nomination. For our part we look upon the re-nomination and re-election of the gallant Big ler, as even beyond a peradventure. At the proff er time we areprepared to advocate his claims, and shall do so with a free good will. He has been a faithful public servant, and will be sustain ed by the people.---,Fulton Democrat.

The design of the Institute is to give young ladies a thorough education in the an cient and modern languages, as also in Music, Drawing and Painting.

THE 14102 , 1THLY DEMOCRATIC REVIEW. -With a• new administi anon comes this new expositor-of Democratic principles, published by William Lewis at Co., at Washington City. The object of this Review is stated to be the elucidation and en tbrcement of the fundamental principles of Ameri aan Democracy, to which it attributes all the great ness and glory of the country. It will advocate general economy and reform; the policy of holding public officers to strict accountability; a thorough system of frontier defences, and more efficient re sistance to Indian incursions. It is opposed to leg islation for industrial or corporate monopolies; to the policy of making the national treasury the prey of sharpers. It believes the:Fugitive Sieve Law a sound constitutional enactment; is opposed to "'en tangling alliances" with European governments, and to their intermeddling with affairs on this con tinent, and concurs cordially with the views of the Inaugural of President Pierce. The articles in the first number are written with great ability.. They speak of the Duty of the Democratic Party; Remov als and Appointments; Ireland's Failure; the Wages of Labor; Uncle Tom's Cabin; Negroes and Negro Slavery, a chaper from a forthcoming work by Dr. Van Eyrie, of New York; Protection to Americans abroad; the Empire in France; the Spirit of the Age; Church and State; Our Frontier Defences; Resources of the South; the Valley of the Mesitla; Destiny of Cuba; the Gardiner case; the Influence of Wealth; the Mormons; and various other subjects of politi cal and literary importance. The price of the Review is four dollars per an num, and each number will contain at least ninety six pages of letter press. The first number was to have been illustrated with an engraving of Mills , statue of Gen. Jackson, but an accident prevented its receipt in time, and the Review was therefore put to press without it. The next number will contain aline likeness of President Pierce, and each succeeding number will contain a portrait and biographical notice of one of the members of the Cabinet. The Review starts with a subscription list of three thousand, and we have not a doubt of its success. There are evidently many able pens enlisted in the columns of the new magazine, and it holds forth the prothise of future improvement. As the expositor of the principles of the great par ty which now rules the destinies of the country, the "Monthly Democratic Review' , will be regard ed with interest, and command a large circulation.

LITTELVe LIViNG AGE, for last week, is, as usual, a capital number. Gniaten's Meotattrp, for August, is beautifully embellished with numerous engravings. One of the finest and richest we have ever seen is, "House hold Treasured'—uself worth more than the price of the number. THE LADLES KEEPSAKE, for August, is also an excellent number.

A small band of disorganizing Democrats met at a Tavern in the cotinty - OlPhiladerphia, on the 4th inst., for t tbe purpose, asii. ' lippears by their pub lishetteedinga, of atiaeking the National and State. 7 ministrations. - The two Democratic papers of Phifidelphia—the "Pennaylvanian," and " Ar gus," refused - giving the. proceedings publicity in theii.colutrins—but they - subsequently appeared in the Public Ledger, as an advertiser - nog, and were re-published in one of the papers of this city, with commendatory remarks. To show what was the true character of this meeting, at which so much froth and fury were harmlessly spent, we give place to the following letter from the Philadelphia correspondent of the Democratic Union, at Harrisburg, and ask the Dem ocrats of Lancaster county to read it carefully. Parcanszeara, July 15, 1853. My Dean Ultima :—For some years the 4th of July has been chosen by the Democracy of our city and county, as a fiting and appropriate season for party demonstrations, for looking over the events of the past, and calculating on the chances for the futute. Party meetings have been held, and party dinners have been given on this day, to which would gather all the true and tried men of our po litical organization , and upon this occasion, so full of the glorious memories of the past, would they pledge themselves anew to the great work of keep ing the unity of the Democracy perfect; and repu diating all whose personal ambition or disappoint ed hopes would induce them to turn traitors to their friends, and thus aid the common enemy. This has been the universal custom of the Democracy of the city and county of Philadelphia, and the good el facts of these meetings, when thus conducted, were the theme of general comment in the party. They brought together Democrats from all sections of our city and county, made them familiar with each other, and the condition of the party in the different districts pointed out the reliable men, and indica ted the spurious, and in this manner afforded a com plete chart for the Democrats to steer by in the Fall campaign. This was the custom up to the recent celebra tion of the birth day of our National Independence, when a band of men in the Third and Fourth Con gressional districts of our county, calling themselves Democrats, saw tit to call a meeting under the nuts of the a Democratic celebration, at which the President of the United States and the Governor of the State of Pennsylvania were openly insulted in the most gross and outrageous manner. So anx ions were these men that the whole organization of this psuedo Democratic meeting should be in their own hands, so fully were they convinced that they are a mere handful when compared with the real Democracy of the Third and Fourth Congressional districts, that no primary call was ever issued for this meeting, nor did the Democracy of these two Congressional districts know of their intention to hold a meeting on the 4th of July, until they saw the announcement of the committees to conduct said meetings, in the public papers. The whole matter was a secret midnight cabal, at which a few men arranged the Whole meeting, constituted them selves the committees, elected themselvei the offi cers of the day, chose one of their number as the orator, and laid down the whole schedule of this attack upon that party to which they profess to be long. Not more than a dozen participated in this primary meeting, as can be seen by a glance at the men constituting the prominent committee. The preliminaries of the meeting being arranged the men who were to figure in front of this farce were to be chosen. Not one man of character or standing in the party being present to endorse this movement, and perceiving that if the real object of the meeting became known to the Democracy, the whole game would be exploded, they were necessi tated to select agents whose previous criminal or wavering political course justified them in suppo sing they would be willing to aid in any attack upon - the real men and principles of the' Democra cy, both in this State and Nation. A member of Congress was selected, who, since his election to the post, has aided in elevating others as well as himself to a post of municipal. honor and profit, on a spurious ticket against the regularly nominated men of the party, and who is now shunned by the Democracy as a traitor to that organization to which he owes his election, was first made the chief actor in this dishonest movement. The bait to his vanity was the prize of the Gubernatorial chair of this State, which was promised to him it he would fall down and worship the false idols which this band of disorganizers had set up. Then came the orator of the day, a young gentleman, who flourished with sudden brightness in our midst du- IV the last Presidential campaign, who followed the victorious army to the Capitol, but failing to get a distribution of the spoils, has now had the scales taken from his eyes, and what he before saw perfection, now beholds only corruption and politi cal dishonesty. From the post of Governor of a territory with all its honors and emoluments, his ambition dwindled to a clerkship in the Navy Agency in our city, and that was to be wrungf tom the private friendship of the man, rather than the judgment of the public officer. The ambition of our " fourth of July orator " over-leaped itself, and his excited imagination saw but one course to pur sue.—join the opposition, and annihilate the admin istration of General Pierce with one blow of his trenchant blade. He was a fitting tool for the arch movers in this attack on the. Democracy of this State, and " verily he has his reward " in the pity of all those who had hoped for better things of one who, had he not soared so high, had thus soon been struck down never to rise. This is a fair specimen of the political materials out of which this meeting was composed. Candi dates for the State Senate were there, who conscious of their inability to obtain a nomination by appeal ing to the sober sense and judgment of the party, took this method of appealing to the baser passions of those who follow the Democratic party only for the plunder they may obtain, and see no higher mo tives for their attachment to its organization.— Scarce one man can be pointed out, who acted a prominent part in the organization of this disrepu table movement, who has not been a traitor to the party at some period. Some have stabbed the De mocracy in their municipal tickets, some more bold have openly voted and electioneered for a Whig Sheriff and Register of Wills, while others have re cently been engaged in taking the Whig candidate for Canal Commissioner from place to place in our city and county, for the purpyse of soliciting .Dem ocrats of the same stripe as themselves to support him in the coming contest. These are facts, and this is the character of the men who studiedly in sult the President of the Uuited States, and the Gov ernor ot this Commorndealth, and then when the Democratic papers of this city and county, with out a single exception, refused to endorse their mal ice and treason, advertise their shame and apostacy and thus added insult to injury. They talk about cliques, while at the same time, the whole move ment in which they particpated was the result of a clique, unknown to the members of the party in the districts for which the meeting was called, and totally opposed to their feelings and wishes. This ' was well known to the disorganizers and disap pointed office seekers who got this demonstration up, and hence the secrecy with which the affair was conducted in its incipient movements. Why, if it was to be a meeting of the Democracy of the Third and Fourth Congressional Districts to cele brate the Fourth of July, was a Jprimary meeting not called, as is usual in such cases, 'so that all might participate ? The reason is plain, the movers in this matter knew then, and know now, that they would have been voted down almost unanimously, and their scheme of attempting to impose upon the Democracy of this and other States frustrated. . But the true character of this meeting is now spread before the party, and they will treat the whole affair as a mere ebullition of disappointed ambition and private spleen. it will not do for Mr. Witte and Mr. Carrigan, and others to let their private likes and dislikes run away wits their al iegiance to the party. If they do, and thus sow the wind, they must expect the whirlwind. The administration of Gen. Pierce, cannot be uprooted because certain men have not been able to extort from the General Government that reward for their services, which, in their excessive vanity, they think they are worth, nor will the whole Democratic Temple tumble to the ground because all the men who were applicants for positions in me Custom Rouse have not been appointed. The real Democ racy look to principles, not dollars and cents for their estimate of au administration, and therefore, all the " pebbles " thrown by our " modern Davide " will lall abort of the mark. The attack upon Governor Bigler and his admin istration, falls still-born in our city and county.— rhe real motives of these men in opposing Gover nor Bigler, is, that he stands firm upon the dignity of his office, and will not lend his countenance or aid to their schemes for disorganizing the party, either in a local, State or National respect, nor will he recommend for public office or station, men whose social character unfits them for confidence and whose political standing is both weak and sus picious. The whole course of the Governor has been marked with his judgment and foresight, and , this attack upon him, instead of injuring his chanCes tor a re-nomination, will but show the ,party the reliance that can be placed upon William Bigler, in the hour of need. lie has in no instance falter ed, nor has he ever dis4plinted the reasonable ex pectations of his friends in his discharge of the high duties as Chief Magistrate of the State, anft the cho sen leader of her Democracy. These facts are well established by every step in his official career, and hence the futility of injuring hint with such shot as was fired by the disorganizers on the Fourth of July. Governor Bigler will carry the delegates from the city and county of Philadelphia, when the contest comes, by a large majority. Make a note of that! The Ciystal Palace Exhibition. On Friday week, the exhibition was opened to the public,,and was visited throughout the day by about 7,000 .ladies and gentlemen, besides the ex hibitors and those holding season tickets, and the receipts amounted to $9,639 50. Workmen are still busilyemployed in different parts of the struc ture, particularly in the machine arcade, which is, present, only about halt finished. About one third of the exhibition stalls have been arranged, and it is thought that the exhibition wilt not be complete in all its parts for about a week more. The ,total amount of space on the floor occupied by - different countries for exhibition, exclusive of the naves, is about 152,000 square feet, of which 94,102 is on the ground floor, and 59,000 is in the gallery. This space is divided as follows: Ground floor. Gallery. England, 10,570 7,081 Switzerland, 1,458 2,970 Zollverein, 6,196 6,053 Holland and Belgium, 2,916 729 Austria, 1,458 729 Denmark, Sweden, Norway, . 2,916 1,315 Russia, &c., 729 British Guiana & West Indies, 1,093 British Colonies, 2,369 3,429 The total amount of space occupied by foreign countries is 98,749 square feet. The United States contributions occupy 34,585 square feet on the ground floor, and 19,945 square feet in the gallery. The total number of exhibitors from abroad is 2,605, of whom England sends 677; France 521; Switzerland 116; Zollverein 813; Holland and Bel gium 155; Austria 100; Italy 185; Sweden and Nor way 18; West Indies 3; Prince Edward's Island 18; , Nova Scotia 2. This list will be somewhat larger, from the fact that the local committees of Canada have not yet sent in their list of contributors, and it does not in elude quite a number from British Guiana. A small number of Turkish and other contributors are also to be added, making the sum total of foreign exhibitors not far from 2,700. In the United States department the number of exhibitors is 1,178, and applications have been re ceived since the Ist of March, amounting to over 400, which have not been acted on for want of space. The total number of exhibitors, both foreign and American, is 4.383. DESCRIPTION UP TOE CRYSTAL PALACE From the official publications of the association we compile a description of the crystal palace. Reservoir Square, on which it is erected, lies at the northern extremity of the city, west of the Crotan distributing reservoir, and bdtween that vast erec tion and Sixth avenue. The Sixth avenue railroad runs directly past it; the Fourth avenue railroad runs near it; and it lies immediately in the vicinity 01 the Fourth, Filth, and Sixth avenues—the main thoroughfares ot that part Si the city. The main features at the building are as follows It is, with the exception of the floor, entire.y con structed ot iron and glass. The general idea of the edifice is a Greek cross, surmounted by u dome at the intersection. Each diameter at the cross will be 365 teet 5 snches tong. There are three simi lar entrances; one on the Sixth avenue, one on For tieth street, and one on Forty-Second street. Each entrance is 47 feet wide, and that on Sixtu avenue is approached by a flignt . ot eight steps; over each front is a large semi-circular 41 leet wide and 21 feet high, answering to the arch of the nave. Each arm of the cross is on the ground plan 149 teet broad. This is divided into a central nave and two aisles, one on each side—the nave 41 feet wide; each aisle 54 feet wide. The central portion or nave is carried up to the height of 67 feet, and the semi-circular arch by which it is spanned is 41 feet broad. There are thus in effect two arched two arched naves crossing each ottte . r at right angles, 41- lent broad, 67 feet high to the crown of toe arch, and 365 feet long; and on each side of these naves is an aisle 54 feet broad, and 45 feet high. The exterior of the ridge way of the nave is 71 lea. Each aisle is covered by a gallery of its own width, and 24 feet from floor. The central dome is 100 feet in diameter, 68 leet inside from the floor to the spring of the arch, and 118 feet to the crown; and on the outside, with the lantern, 149 feet. The exterior angles of the building are ingeniously filled up with a trian gular lean-to 24 feet high, which gives tile ground plan an octagonal shape, each side or lace being 199 feet wide. At each angle is an octagonal tower 8 feet in diameter, and 75 feet high. Ten large, and eight winding staircases connect the principal floor with the gallery, whim opens on the three balconies that are situated 3 over the en trance halls, and afford ample space for flower dec orations, statues, vases,&c. The ten principal stair cases consist of two flights of steps with two land ing places to each; and eight winding staircases are placed in the octagonal towers, which lead also to to small balconies on the tops of the towers and to the roof of the building. The building contains on the ground floor 111,- 000 square lest of space, and in its galleries, which are 54 feet wide, 62,000 square feet more, making a total area of 173,000 square feet for the purpose of exhibition. Tnere are thus on the ground floor two acres and a half; or exactly 2 52.100; in the galleries one acre and 44400; total, within an in considerable fraction, four acres. There are on the ground floor 190 octagonal cast iron columns, 21 feet above the floor and 8 inches in diameter, cast hollow, of different thicknesses from hall an inch to one inch. These columus re , ceive the cast iron girders. These are 26j feet long and 3 feet high, and serve to sustain the gal. leries and the wrought iron construction of the roof, as well as to brace the whole structure in every di rection. The number of lower floor girders is 252, besides 12 wrought iron girdersol the same height, and4l feet span over a part of the nave. The second story contains 148 columns, of the same shape as those below, and 17 feet, 7 inches high. These receive another tier of girders num bering 160, for the support of the roofs of the aisles, each nave being covered by 16 cast iron semicir cular arches, each composed of 4 pieces. The dome is supported by twenty-lour columns, which go up above the second story to the height of 62 feet above the floor, and support a combina tion of wrought iron arches and girders, on which rest a cast iron bed plate, so constructed as to re ceive the 32' ribs of the dome. The light is,com municated to the dome through the lantern, as well as Irocrl the sides, on which 32 escutcheons,, in col ored glitss, representing the arms of the Union and its several States, or the emblems of the different nations, form a part of the decoration. The building is supplied with gas and water in every part. The gas is designed for the use of the police, in protecting the property uy night; but is so arranged that, should it be deemed expedient to open the building in the evening, there lull be am ple light. The water is accessible at numerous points, with convenience for drinking; also for the attachment ot hose, in case of fire. The general mode of erection by base pieces, col umns, connecting feces and girders, is the same with that of the &e 4t Hyde Park building; but the construction of tha-aiched nave and of the dome is of course entirely peculiar, and the general effect of the building is completely Uilierent.
