FORSYTH, OF PHILADELPHIA COUNTY AUDITOR GENERAL, EPHRAIM BANKS, OF MIFFLIN COUNTY FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL, J. PORTER BRAWLEY, OF CRAWFORD COUNTY A Buzz in the Camp! The position , taken'hy Mr.Bounaisa and his po litical friends, has created a perfect furor of excite ment in the camp of the enemy ; if we are to judge by the froth and fury exhibited in the columns of the last Examiner. All sorts of coalitions between Democrats and Whigs, Woolly Heads and Temp erance men, Free Soilers and Fire Eaters, are reck lessly and falsely charged against each and every body who will not "crook the pliant hinges of the knee" to the dominant leaders of the Whig party ~,in this County, and go the "whole hog" for the Whig ticket as settled by the City Junto. Now, this game is all well understood by the intelligent portion of every party. The leaders are alarmed at the disaffection in their ranks, and are resorting to this method to frighten their followers into ac tive exertions on behalf of the ticket. There is not a word of truth in the allegation that a coalition has been formed between the recusant Whigs and Democrats. The latter have bad no agency what ever in bringing about the present state of things in the Whig party. They have been perfectly passive in the whole affair thus far, and fook upon it as, it really is, a Whig fight for the spoils. Mr. Boutin- Tan alleges, add we think truthfully, that he was unfairly treated—that a combination was formed in advance of the meeting of the Convention to de feat him—that the edict had gone forth that he was to be sacrificed at any and every cost. Discovering this, he had his name withdrawn from the Conven tion before the balloting commenced, and was there fore no longer bound by the action of that body.— Such being the state of the case, and believing him self to have been defrauded out of the nomination, he has appealed directly to the people—the power that is above and behind a Convention—and asks them to say, by their votes on the day of election, whether they, in their sovereign capacity, or an ir responsible cabal here in the City, shall have the choice of their own officers. Mr. BoronTsn's enemies have not alleged, nor do they now pretend to allege, that he has not here tofore been faithful to the Whig party—"instant in season and out of season," laboring for the cause— nor do they dare to insinuate that he,is not fully and abundantly qualified to discharge the duties of County Treasurer, nor that he is not deserving of the office. Their whole effort now appears to be to blacken his private character, and then alarm the timid and unsophisticated of the Whig party by charging a coalition between Mr. B's friends and the Democrats. But it won't answer the purpose• The honest masses of the Whig party are not will. ing any longer to have the wool pulled over their eyes by a self-constituted Dictatorship, and it is all idle for the - Examiner to attempt to exhonerate its own party leaders from their misdeeds by charging Democrats with having an agency in bringing about the present state of things. That paper and its cor respondents will not improve the condition of the Whig party proper by pursuing the course they have commenced. 'Whom the gods wish to de stroy they first make mad," is an old adage, which the Examiner and its corps of writers would do well to study. CARLISLE.-A visit of two or three days last week to this "ancient and venerable" Borough sat isfied us that the goodly citizens there have at length caught the spirit of improvement, and are determined no longer to be behind all the neighbor ing towns in this particular. In addition to the new Prison, now in process of erection, and which promises to be a splendid edifice, there have been several very fine private residences and stores erect ed recently—amongst which the splendid building of Mr. Ear, in West High street takes the pre eminence. It presents a front of SO feet—the lower story principally - used as a large and tastefully ar ranged Grocery, and the second as a Lecture or Exhibition room, called "Marion Hall." This Hall is calculated to seat comfortably 4 or 500 people independently of the stage. and is admirably ar ranged for public purposes of any kind. The third story is principally arranged for one of the Mason ic Lodges of that Borough. There are also sever al other rooms in the building, used for Daguerrean' and other purposq. Mr. Ear deserves great credit for his fine taste and public spirit. '. Another fine three-story building, nearly oppo site, has been erected by Mr. Tnotrr, the lower part of which is intended for stores, and the upper story for an Odd Fellows' Lodge—also presenting a very fine appearance, and in the highest degree creditable to Mr. Trout. Several other fine im provements are being made, but we have not room to notice all. The above came more immediately under our eye, and we could not refrain from giv- Mg them a passing notice. We hope the Examiner is not endeavoring to revivify the old Anti-masonic party of this county —and yet it would seem so from the attempt made to identify Mr. BM:METER with the Odd Fellows and Masons. The writers for that paper are evi dently alarmel at the prospect of his election, or they would not resort to such a despicable shift to keep their heads above water. But, it is said, that "drowning men will catch at straws," and the truth of the adage is abundantly exemplified in the con duct of the Whig leaders. If they wish to defeat Mr. Bonowrsn, they are pursuing a strange policy to accomplish the object. Mr. REINHOLD may well exclaim. "save me from my friends." Er Sainusr, WHERRY, Esq., is the Senatorial nominee of the Democratic party, in the Cumber land district—he having first been nominated by Cumberland, and the nomination unanimously con firmed by the Convention of Perry county which met at Bloomfield last week. Of course his elec tion is a "fixed fact;" and here we take occasion to say that, from a long personal acquaintance with Mr. Wherry, we are free to avow that a purer man or truer-hearted Democrat is not to be found in the State. Such is hie high sense of honor and strict integrity of character, that his constituents may well be proud of their representative, and point with confidence to him as proof against all allurements or temptations that may be attempted by borers for special legislation at the next session of the Legislature. Would that all legislators, in both branches of the General Assembly, were men of like character with Mr. Wherry. • UT THOMAS A. Bunn, Esq., of Philadelphia, has been nominated by the Whig State Convention as their candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court.— Of course, nobody dreams that•he has any chance of an election. fl A Comet is now Visible in the Western horizon, about an hour after sunset. ED - Professor &cal, of the Howard University, died as Cambridge, Mass., on Tuesday last. c4r The President has appointed Col. CARROLL SPENCE, .of Baltimore, to be Minister Resident at Conataattnople. Hon. J. Porter Brawley. This gentleman, we observe, comes in for the lions's share of the abuse of the Whig press through, out the Commonwealth. The attempt is being; marls to enlist the strength of the temperance orga nization in opposition to him in the coming can; vase, and thereby, if possible, defeat his re-election to the office which he now holds, with credit to him self and benefit to the State. -.. • , Mr. Baiwzar's enemies, unable to turn up any other accusation against him, very sagely assert that he is not so warmly attached to the cause of total obstinence as they could wish him tobe.— How very modest they have become all at once, to be sure ! But a week or two has elapsed since two or three Whig prints in this latitude, and, indeed, most of the Whig papers in the State, were loud in' their condemnation of Wu , recreant temperance Whigs , of Allegheny county," who "so ingloriously scratched the name of MI. PENNY from /are year's .dssembly ticket!" because, forsooth, that gentleman did not feel inclined to answer the behests of a temperance convention, and bind himself to be the tool of a fac tion or clique in any movement they might set on foot at Harrisburg. This subterfuge, however, is quite characteristic of the Whig party and its organs. Whilst they pro fess to advocate the largest scope of private and in dividual opinion, on all subjects, to all, they take advantage of every petty organization, by pretended adoption of its views, in order to get a few votes, or for the purpose of almalgarnation. Their past dealings with the Natives and Abolitionists is suf ficient proof of the truth of this remark. And now , in their eagerness to effect the election of one man on the State ticket, this fall, they have thrown the bait out to catch the votes of the temperance or pro hibition men. Will they be able to strengthen them selves by the movement? We opine not. Mr. 1311AWLET is too well known by voters of all parties, in all sections of Pennsylvania, as a gentle man of personal worth and unquestionable business qualifications, to be affected in the least by any such malicious slanders, as are now being so induitrious ly circulated by his political enemies. They can only redound to his benefit in the end, and, (as the Arab proverb hath it,) "like young chickens, come home to roost."—Pennsylvanian The Old Song of the Whigs. The day of election not being far distant, the Whigs of Pennsylvania are setting up their usual annual cry about "the mismanagement of our pub lic works," and "the extravagance of our State ad ministration." They take these economical fits at stated periods, and while the fit is "on," a stranger to their ways would think them the most scrupu lously honest people on earth. But we who know them better, give them prtcious little credit for rectitude of intention. We do not fail to compare their practices with their professions, and the com parison does not redound to their credit. When they talk of plunder on the public works, our mind reverts to the Big Break. When they talk of squan dering moneyon useless improvements,memory car ries us back to the days of the Gettysburg Tape worm. When they intimate that this and that thing have beet - 1,410ne without authority of law, we are involuntarily reminded of RITNEa and Sxx vves cool assumption of the functions of the Gen eral Assembly, on the plea that'it would have been expensive to call the General Assembly together. When they talk of wielding the patronage of the government so as to further individual and party purposes, it is impossible for us to forget the use made of the government patronage at Milleretown, about the middle of October, 1838. The RITNER ITES talking about the extravagance of a Demo- cratic State Administration! The admirers of TaLDDETIS STEVENS blotving about malfeasance in office! The GALparris charging Democratic offi cers with plundering the people! Where is Satan! It is time for him to rebuke sin in earnest. SETTLING UP WHIG ACCOUNTS.—According to recent developments, if the late Whig party had contintied•in possession of the federal government another term, the Secretary of the Treasury would have been driven, in a year or so, to the necessity of asking a loan of Congress to balance outstand ing deficiencies: In addition to the alleged unpaid balances due the government from two of the late collectors at San Francisco, amounting to half a million, more or less, submerged in quartz mining and other speculations, we have some new disclos ures of a defalcation or two almost every week— The other day a small deficit of ten thousand dollars was brought to light in the State Department; and and now we are informed by the St. Paul, Minnes ota, Democrat, that Gov. Gorman has been engaged for several days in investigating the charges against the late Whig Gov. Ramsey, on accountot the frauds charged to have been perpetrated upon the Sioux Indians. The policy of a change in theladministra tion evdry four yerrs, thus far appears to work well for the national finances. THE BREMANPOSTAL ARHARGETIENT.—The Union announces, on reliable authority, not only that the German States generally will probably soon come into the new Bremen postal arrangement, but ' that the minister from Russia intends to propose to his government to make the necessary reduction to Breman to secure the full benefits of the reduced rates by the Bremen line. The Union does not doubt that Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and other countries similarly situated, will follow suit; and when this measure is fully carried out it will in deed be a great improvement in mail facilities, the result of which cannot be otherwise than most fa vorable to all concerned. The "Germania," the first steamer to be put is line by Bremen, was to leave that port on the 2d inst., and she may now he daily expected in New York. The two Bremen with the United steamers upon the line will to gether offer a semi-monthly communication, direct, to and from the continent. Gansx MAIL ROBBERY.—The Mobile Tribune states that the mail between Atalanta, Georgia, and Montgomery, Alabama, has been robbed of several packages of letters intended for that city, New Orleans and Montgomery. The bags appear to have been opened, on several occasions, about or since the Ist of July. From popoo to $50,000 have been thus abstracted. Qr The advice of the Philadelphia Evening As. gus, of Friday last, is too late for any practical ben efit to the Democracy of Lancaster county. The editors of that paper may, however, calm their fears. Although we have no County Ticket, this year, our friends will take goad care of the State Ticket, as they have done herOtofore under similar circum stances. Our Philadelphia neighbors would do well to watch their p's and q's closely at home, as all their energies will, from present appearances, be re quired in that quarter. The Democrats of Lances. ter county understand their true policy, are abund antly able to manage their own matters, and need no advice from Philadelphia or any other quarter. The remarks of the. Argus were doubtless kindly intended, but they were uncalled for and unneces sary. irr. The Postmaster at Plainsville, Luzerne co., W. H. Cortright, has been arrested for purloining money from letters passing through his office. He was appointed some three or four years ago, and had always heretofore stood well in the community. fib Annaaw HOPKINS, Esq., lately, one of the editors of the Washington (Pa.) Examiner, has pur. chased Mr. Hastings' interest in the Pittsburg Union, and will hereafter conduct that paper in connection with Mr. Keenan. Mr. Hopkins is a young man of fine talents and undoubted energy, and will doubtless make his mark in this new sphere of duty. We wish him abundant success. Mr Bs N.14211/4 Trims, Esq., of Reading has been appointed Naval Storekeeper, at Philadelphia—but, it is said, declines the appointment. Doubtful I Er Lain Formsaon, Esq., is the Democratic candidate for the Senate, in Philadelphia county.— A good selection. Roo-Ea 8.. Palma, Esq., has commenced hie du ties as a•cq.aditor of the Richmond Enquirer.. The Difference. It is not our practice, says the Camden Demo crat, to laud every act of the Administration Ix: 'cause Site actor is a Deniocrat, nor are we ready to condeiiin everything because some few things hive been done contrary to our judgment. There is one pledge„that was.made in advance of the inaugura tion ofPresident Pierce in behalliof the present-ad ministration that is in a fair wiry of being fulfilled to the letter, and that is that an end would be put to the Galphinism which had so deeply disgraced the four years of Whig supremacy, or rather of Whig occupancy. - A Washington correspondent of the Boston Post rehearsing some of these doings, says that;" a plain narrative of facts of public and 'private' government transactions at Washington since General Taylor's election, would produce one buret of indignation from the Bay of Furidy to the Pacific." It is also. further stated that " Mr. Secretary M'Celland has already put his - thumb on several bung-holes and smaller leakages that had been left open by the " careless" CO housewife that preceded him. All thrifty husbands know the importance of having a good manager at the head of the 'home department,' The general-in•chief who lives in the White House, put Mr. M'Clelland over the depart ment of the interior, and said to him—" There, sir, do your duty." He walked in and took a survey from kitchen to garret. But he didn't leave things long as he found - them. Rats were knawing the cheese, and somebody's naughty children were car rying off the pound cake. There was a paid day clerk for the pension office, another for the patent office and so on. He bad been allowed to draw the money in advance from the treasury, in large sums, put it out at interest, speculate with it and pay off the clerks and claimants by drawing checks on his banker. These checks, of course, were suppoeed to be due in gold and silver ; ,but they were often paid in rags and shin-plasters issued by unknown and often ir responible complies in the District of Columbia. At the best the government clerks and employees, and other claimants, had to make two journeys or calls, one on the disbursing clerk and another to a bank at a distance. Quite a number who could not from age, infirmity, or other causes, walk con veniently, were obliged to hire a carriage to ride some distance from the department where their money was due them, in order to get it. All this too, had to be done during banking hours, the very time most valuable to the man of business or gov ernment officer. Mr. M'Clelland swept 'all these by the board. Whig times are Whig times no longer. One pay clerk for the whole department is ap pointed. He has the gold by him locked up in an iron chest, and when it is due he pays it out, and the recipient writes his name in the receipt book. The work formerly done by four or five clerks is now done by one, and well done. The salaries of several persons are saved, and speculation, risk and loss done away with. Judge Campbell has the fi nancial affairs of the post office department man aged in a similar manner. The disbursing clerk at the end of each month has his cash on hand, and assistant postmaster-general, clerks, and all em ployed persons in the department, go to his office, and get their pay in gold- These things show how the new broom is set to work in the new adminis tration." These are movements in the right direction, and such vigilance will commend the department in which it is exhibited, to the general approbation of the public. Mark the Prospect. The Philadelphia Daily Register gives the hillow ing prospect of fat legislation in our next Assembly, which will be glad tidings to the friends of the beau tiful and lwnes.t system of special legislation': "The next session of the Pennsylvania Legisla ture will be what borers and bribed agree in cal ling a Tat' one. Our special legislation and special privileges is.to be tasked to its, utmost, and mem bers, at three dollars a day, will, many of them, re tire in the spring with money enough in their pock ets to dabble in stocks and speculate in town lots. The best pickings are expected to be from the sup posed long purses of those who look for new bank ing privileges, or the extension of those they now enjoy. How many applications will be made from other counties, we are not prepared to say; there are eleven or twelve in Philadelphia county alone." It would afford us a more than ordinary degree of pleasure (says the Centre Democrat, and so say we,) had we it in our power to establish, clearly and unmistakeably, that the above extract contain ed a foul and malignant attack upon the Legisla ture of our State. But, humiliating and degrading as the sentiment is, we are compelled to make the admission that there is too much truth in it. Bri bery and corruption carry the sway, and there is more reliance to be placed upon a well filled purse, t'. secure the passage of any desired law, than the most potent and powerful ;arguments. Whether the object to be accomplished be right or whether it be wrong, it requires the use of the same means. Members have, within a few years back, discover ed that three dollars a day - is not sufficient recom pense for their ardour labors; and to make the bus iness pay better have resolved to hold themselves in readiness to be bought by the highest bidder.— Deeply as this is to be lamented it is nevertheless literally true. It is a shame and a disgrace t 8 our State that such is the case, and as Pennsylvanians we should arouse from our slumber and determine that it shall be prevented in future. The past is beyond the power of correction, but let this foul blot upon our fair fame cease to continue. This is the time to apply the remedy. The:peo ple will soon be called upon to elect men to rep resent them next winter; and they should lay barn the roots of the evil. There certainly are plenty of men, in every coun ty of the State, who are honest, capable and wil ling to undertake the task—men whose nerdes are strong enough to resist the temptations of gold— men who will be satisfied with the pay which the State allows, and will not require an extra fee to get them to do their duty. These legislative bro kers that hdnker around our State Capitol during the session of the Legislature and buy the votes of the representatives, must be driven out. They. have controled our Legislature too long. Special legis lation has become entirely too frequent. Something must be employed to check its progress. Then let the people go to work this fall and elect a new and a better set of men—of course we speak in general terms and do not wish to be understood as reflecting upon any particular party or persons —and as a natural consequence those ' borers ' which have made their living and in some instance grown rich at the expenses of the people, will awake from their torpor to find themselves out of water. Nothing short of this kind of a step on the part of the people will prevent a recurrence of the disgraceful scenes of which our Legislature were guilty last winter. Elect the same men that you elected last fall, or those of like character, and if possible greater and more direful results will fol low. In this, as in every other instance, effect trav els close on the heels of caw, and as certain as we choose incompetent and unworthy representatives, so sure will we bring upon ourselves unwise and unwholesome legislation. Tax PESTILENCE at New Orleans shows no signs of abatement as yet, if we take into account the great diminution of the population upon whom it can operate. The deaths last week amounted to about 1500! It has also reached Natchez, and sev eral hundred persons have already fallen victims to its ravages there. The disease has also appeared at Mobile and Vicksburg, and appears to be gradu ally making its way up the Mississippi river. Er HENRY S. M.soaa.w, Esq., late of Pittsburg, has returned from California, and is now in this city with his family. It is said that he intends re turning to California in the month of October. ID" Gen. LAirs has bees elected Delegate to Con gress, from Oregon, by a majority of 1,583. The whole vote polled was 7,507. In 1849, the whole vote was only 981 ! The Finances and. Sinking Fund. -The following paragraph' is taken from the last "humberof the "Whig State Journal," of Harrisburg : "Governor Bigler came into power, and found the finances of the State in a healthy _ condition. ''The sinking fund working admirabl4 and paying off the State debt at the rate of seven hundred thousand dol lars per year. How is it now; The debt has been increased over a million, and the Sinking Fund of course abandoned. Yet the Treasurrhyionstantly empty in consequence of the immense sums drawn by these men." It was a saying of the ancients "that whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad." The editor of the Journal, it seems to us, must be am bitiOns,to furnish, in his own career, an exemplifi cation of this wise saying. He certainly could not adopt a more efficient mode of destroying his repu tation for truth and honor, than by the publication of such reckless statements as the above. The most hardened of the Whig party will hang their beads in - shame, on perusing this production. In our whole editorial experience, which covers many a violent partisan contest, we do not. remember - to have seen as much senseless falsehood, in so few words, as is contained in the above extract from the Journal. These misrepresentations are the more reprehen sible, as the truth, on every point, was within con venient reach of this editor. He could have learn ed from the proclamation issued by Governor John ston himself, in the fall of 1851, and which, like Hobensack's handbills, were stuck up on the cor ners and board fences in all parts of the State, that the whole amount of the State bonds paid by the sinking fund, during his services as Governor, amounted to but 8659,122 98. How absurd it is then, to at:empt to make the people believe that the debt was being paid off at the rate of $700,000 per annum. If our young friend will examine the re cords in the Auditor General's office, he will per ceive that, during the time the sinking fund was. 'paying of this $659,000 of five per cent. bonds, a new six per cent. bond was created, for $400,000, reimbursable at the end of twenty-five years, a.E.I that this brings the actual reduction of the debt down to $259,122 98. In addition to this, he can learn that on the very day that Governor Johnston retired, it had become absolutely necessary to bor row $300,00 more at six per cent., to pay the inter est then due, and there was over $650,000 of unpaid appropriations. So much for the "healthy condi tion" of the finances. This editor can also learn, from the official doc uments, that, during the year 1852, Gov. Bigler paid off the six per cent. bonds of the State that were then due, by creating new ones at five per cent., and brought into the sinking fund $134,000, in the shape of premiums, besides saving over.s2o,ooo,an nually, by the reduction in the rate of interest. He will thus learn, that whilst the late administration paid off five per cent. bonds by creating new ones at six per cent., the present administration has paid off six per cent, bonds by creating new ones at five per cent., and received h heavy premium beside. As for his unblushing assertion that "the sinking fund has been abandoned," every man in the com munity, of ordinary intelligence, old or young, Whig or Democrat, knows the statement to be simply un true. So far from being "abandoned," the receipts to this fund have been largely increased since Gov. Bigler came into office. By calling at the proper departmelit, as we did, the editor of the Journal can learn that $495,750 47 of State bonds have been cancelled during the short period of Governor Big ler's service, in addition to some $50,000 in relief notes now in the Treasury, ready for cancellation, making in all $545,750 47, which will be swelled, we are assured, by the close of the fiscal year, to near $700,000, far exceeding the payment under the former administration during a like period. Besides, no fact can be better known, than that the schemes of expenditure which have been 4rain ing the Treasury, and have forced the Government to make a loan of $850,000, were all commenced under the late administration, and that Gov. Bigler had no alternative but to go through with these, works. We rio not state this fact to complain of it, for we think it was wise to complete the North Branch canal, and to relay the Columbia railroad, but it is a tact which sufficiently answers the charge of prodigality against the present administration.— Both these improvements, as we are informed, will be completed this season ; and, become hereafter a source of revenue, instead of a drain-on the Treas ury; and as Governor Bigler is pledged in his last message to resist the commencement of any and all new schemes of expenditures, we may hope soon to have the whole surplus revenue applied towards the payment of the State debt.—Demorratic Union. THE Commune Renato/D.—The Pittsburg Union calls attention to the fact, that while railroad acci dents are recorded in every other quarter, such has been the admirable management of the railroad s in Pennsylvania, that but comparatively lew lives have been lost. It says : "We believe that on the Columbia railroad there has not during the past year, occurred any serious accident. The Pennsylvania railroad has been the scene of but a few fatal casualties, and in only one instance do we recollect of a severe calamity hap pening in this route by the employers of the comp any. We doubt whether railroad management, in any part of the country, will present so clear a vin dication as in Pennsylvania. While it is the fash ion to blame the present board of Canal Commis ioneri for everything that happens to go wrong on the public works, and to allow them credit for noth ing right, let us ask our readers whether the safety of travel on the Columbia railroad indicates bad man agement, or a reckless disregard of the public interest? If there had been on that part of the main line one-fourth the loss of life which has hap pened on other roads leading from Phila. the pres ent State administration would have been denounc ed beyond measure. In order to encourage adhe rence to duty, in those whose business it is to guard the travelling public, it is not proper to punish the negligent, but to reward the faithlul. TEIE FlSHEHlES.—According to the Washington correspondents, the negotiation between Mr. Marcy and the British Minister relative to the fishing trou bles, have been interrupted by the inadmissibility of the propositions submitted by England. These pro positions are stated to be— "To permit Colonial built vessels to obtain Amer ican registers, that privilege being already granted in England to American and other foreign vessels. To abolish the system of bounties to our fishermen. To throw open the California coasting trade; that is to say, to allow British vessels to load in the At lantic States for California. To abolish the duty on fish brought here in colonial bottOms. Reciprocal trade with the provinces in certain articles, the growth of each country." COMPLIMEBTARY!—The Independent Whig, of this City, indulges in the following comments upon the leading spirits of the late Whig County Conven tion: "The influences which controlled the late county convention, were secret and corrupt, and the chan nels through which the managers moved were foul and slimy. Were the Whig party everywhere con trolled by as shameless, bigoted and unscrupulous a set of SCOUNDRELS, as the pro-slavery, Alberti-defend ing, Silver-Grey Leaders in Lancaster county, if would be time for decent men to commence consid ering whether its prinbiples will likely ever be a dopted, so long as many of their exponents show themselves tyrants at heart, and members of the party from merely selfish and mercenary motives. Is THE Ware PART!' ALIVE 7—This is an im portant question,and one, too, upon which our Whig friends are, very naturally, peculiarly sensitive.— But, so far as the Democrats are concerned, it mat ters little whether the Whig party be regarded dead or alive, as it is manifestly in so low a condition as to be almost entirely harmless. Here are a few of the latest symptoms, as indicated by the recent elec tions : ALABAMA—Democratic Gov., and 6 members of Congress-1 Whig. Legislature Democratic, which will elect 2 U. S. Senators. Kasrocscr-5 Democrats and 5 Whigs elected toCongress. TENFEBSER — Democratic Gov.; and 6 Democrats and 4 Whigs elected to Congress. N. CAROLINA-4 Democrats and 4 Whigs elect• ed to Congress. Taxss-2 Democrats elected to Congress. As there were eight candidates running for Gov., the result cannot be known until the returns are et ially announced. Now, low as the Whig party is, there is a possi bility that it may revive, and therefore, we advise our Democratic friends to stand firm, so that they will not be taken by surprise, • Although, in a na; tional point of view, it may be almost, if not totally dead, in many localities it is possessed of its wont ed fire and energy, and may by no means be treat ed with indifference. It is neither the policy or in terest of Democrats to shut their eyes to real dan ger. It is better to be prepared for the worst at all times. RAILIIOAD CELSBRATION.--On Thursday last the ceremony of openeing the new railroad from Shamokin to Sunbury, came off—the first passenger train over the road arriving at the latter place at about 6 o'clock in the evening.

Reurtos.D ACCIDENT.—As the up mail train on Monday week was a short distance this side of the Bird-in-Hand ; a passenger—Mr. Albert Ritten baugh—had hilielbow a few inches out of the win. dow, when it was struck by a burthen car on a down train, which had got off the opposite track, and the arm badly fractured. The snapping of the bone was heard by every passenger in the car, and for a rnortient the impression prevailed that a part of the car had given way. Mr. R. was taken to Mr. A. Bear's Hotel, in Lancaster, where on exam ination by Dr. John L. Atlee it was found necessary to amputate the arm. Another gentleman had a piece of the bone broken off his elbow. These ac cident should be a warning against putting the arms or head out of car windows, as is too frequently done. FRANKLIN AND MARSHALL COLLEGE.—The ex amination in this institution commenced on Tues day, and was concluded on yesterday. The Anniversary address before the Goethean Literary Society, was delivered in St. Pauls' Church, (German Reformed,) on last evening, at S o'clock, P. M., by Rev. N. S. Callender, of Cham bersburg, Pennsylvania. The meeting of the Board of Trustees will take place this day, at 10 o'clock, A. M. The biennial address before the Literary Societies will be delivered in Fulton Hall, this afternoon, at 3 o'clock, P. M., by Rev. Samuel Bowman, D D., of this city. The commencement exercises of the graduating class will be held in Fulton Hall on to-morrow the 31st inst., to begin at half past nine, A. M., and to be continued throughout the day, divided into a morning and afternoon session. The degrees will be conferred and the Baccalau reate address delivered by the late president of Marshall College. The character of the gentlemen named above as speakers, besides the novelty of the occasion, it be ing the first great literary festival of the kind ever celebrated in our city, we feel assured will draw together on each day and evening, a crowded au dience. TEACHERS INSTITIITE.—The second Session of the Lancaster county Teachers' Institute, will com mence at Fulton Hall, in the city of Lancaster at 10 o'clock, A. M., on Monday, September 12th 1853, and will continue till the following Saturday. The daily exercises will be from 9 to 12 and from 3 till 5 o'clock. From 7 till 10 in the evening, lectures and addresses will be delivered. The following able Instructors and Lecturers have consented to officiate: Professor J. F. Stod dard, of Wayne county, Pa., on Arithmetic and Mathematics; David Parsons, Esq., of Wellsville, Ohio, on Orthography, Reading and Elocution; Dr. Calvin Carter, of Warren, Mass., on Phyisology ; Professor S. S. Haldeman, of Lancaster county, on Natural Science ; John Beck, Esq., of Litiz, on the construction and use of Philosophical Apparatus; Dr. F. Taylor, of Chester county, on. the Art 01 Teaching; Monsieur Perrot, of Philadelphia, on Vocal Music. Mr. Benjamin Naylor, of Cheater co., will exhibit a class of pupils in Arithmetic, previ ously taught by him according to his system. A course of lectures on Geography, English Gram mar, History and Penmanship, will also be deliv ered during the session. It is expected that Lorin Andrews, Esq., of Ohio, the agent of the Teachers of that State, and a gen-. tleman who has effected much for its educational advancement, will be present. During the evenings, Teachers of Lancaster coun ty and others will deliver Lectures and Addresses on the various topics connected with schools and education. On the whole the committee of arrangement feel justified in stating that this session will not only exceed the first in interest and uselulness, but form an era in the educational history of the county it properly supported. All the Teachers of the county . and city are there lore earnestly urged to attend; and the different boards of Directors are respectfully solicited to en able their Teachers to profit by the instructions of the occasion. A week spent in this manner, will promote the good of the schools, by the increased energy, method and information imparted to the teachers. It has not been thought proper again to tax the generous hospitality of the city of Lancaster by ac cepting free accommodation for the members of the Institute. The Teacher should be and must ren der himself independent. Still, the committee will take measures to render the cost of boarding and the expense of the Institute so light as not to be burthensome.

To the Honorable, the Judges of the Court of Quarter Sessions, of the Peace, in and for the County of Lan- caster : The Grand Inquest of the county of Lancaster, inquiring for the August term of said Court, respect fully report: That we have passed upon all bills presented for our action, and, although they have been very numerous, we are gratified to state that none of an aggravated character came before us.-- Our inquiries have disclosed the fact, that the chief cause of the numerous cases of riot, assault and bat tery returned at each successive court, is to be found in the existence of the Lager Beer and Tippling houses throughout the county. To this cause also must be attributed more general disregard and des ecration of the Sabbath, than has heretofore existed in this county. The Grand Jury also deem it their duty to call upon the Justices of the Peace in the county, to exercise a wiser discretion in the cases of assault and battery and other trivial complaints, and to return none but those in which the peace and dignity of the Commonwealth are clearly in• volved. Having also paid the usual visit to the J ail, Poor House and Hospital, they found everything in excellent order and under good management in their respective establishments. The Grand Jury, in closing tgis brief report, can not omit to add, that they are under obligations to the Sheriff of the county, Mr. Eby, tor his attention to them, in their visit to the Jail, and other public buildings, and also their approval of the manner in which the prosecutions of the county have been conducted. • Mr. Thoinpson, the first District Attorney under the elective system, has fully justified the selection of the people, and now that his term of office is a bout to expire, we, as the representatives of the peo ple of the county, tender their acknowledgements, and bestow upon him the approbation due to an able, faithful and honorabledischarge of official duty. Our thankanre also due to the Court for their cour eesy extended to us during the Session. Respectfully submitted, AMOS S. HENDERSON, Foreman Signed by all the members of the Jury.

Y„ at $5 per all- The Pestilence. The ravages of the yellow fever at New Orleans must be truly . ' awful. , The latest accounts repre sent the deaths as averaging about 240 per dayA— The following horrible seam:int of the state of things three weeks ago, Is surpaised in the history of the last few.days The mortality thislear is much greater than it. ever was before, aince - tosis . iana was a part of the Union. , The Della is confident thatit will, this sea son, equal the violence of the black plague of the fi.orteenth century, and exceed that of the plague of Loudon in 1664. The latter has been regarded the severest pestilence of modern times; and yet, out of a population of five hundred thousand, it only slew sixty thousind,in one year, whereas the present epi demic is destroying at the rate of four thousand per month, out of a total population of not over eighty thousand, and a population, liable to the disease, of dot over thirty thousand. It is true that, in previous years of this city, there have been days which have exhibited a larger mortality in one day, but on no other occasion has the aggregate weekly mortality been as large, nor the progress of the disease so steady, regular and unbroken. What is the worst aspect of these facts is, that the season for the prev alence of the epideMic has barely commenced. All descriptions of the condition of the stricken city correspond,—the evidence is clear that exagge ration has had nothing to do in its chronicle of hor rors. A Baltimorean wrote to the Times of that city his first sight: On entering the mouth of the MisSissippi, the change in the air was very noticeable. In a few hours we missed the fresh sea breeze, and enbaled the deadly atmosphere from the shores, where the low, marshy earth seemed actually to be sweltering in the burning sun. Ascending the river, the entire country had the appearance of mourning. We reached the ill-fated city at about two o'clock in the afternoon. Usually, for miles below the levee the shipping is densely crowded together. Now the en tire shipping wharves were deserted. We'landed at the Canal street wharf. A few miserable hacks and three or tour drays were on hand. As far as the eye could reach, hardly a human being could be seen. We were fortunate in securing a hack.— Some of the passengers enveloped their heads in handkerchiefs. The greater portion were provided with short cigars as they were recommended. We drove rapidly through the city to the railroad depot. At almost every window there was crape hanging out, indicating that persons were dead inside. The coffins were actually piled up before the doors of some single dwellings, of various sizes as though the entire gamily had perished. On the corner of one street I saw five bodies—evidently the lather, mother and children. They were dead. The carts containing the coffins passed and re-passed rapidly, with a dull, heavy sound, that had something ter rifying in it. On the top of these carts were signs of various kinds. On one would be' Full,"—on an. other, "Five—two more can be taken," and so on. I unerstood from a fellow passenger in the cars, that the night before he had parted with a young friend in perfect health: "This morning he was dead," said he. On the wharf, and along the street, I saw several laborers who had just been taken with the fever. Their heads were under the wheelbar row, and their bodies exposed to the sun. As the hospital carts would come along these victims would be taken irf and hurried away. How many obscure homes wailed their return in vain! The condition of the Fourth district Cemetry and Potter's Field, at New Orleans, if what is asserted be true, is enough to breed a pestilence. A corres pondent of the Delta, who visited them on the 9th inst., says: The civilized world would scarcely believe that, in the wealthy and flourishing city of New Orleans, hundreds of human bodies—carcases they might more properly be termed—have been allowed to re maining the cemetry,expos9d to the broiling sun, pe trifying the atmosphere, and when disposed of—by a process dignified by the name of burial—have been placed in trenches fourteen inches deep, meas uring from the common level, and leaving in nearly every instance, two to. four inches of the coffins above the surface. Over this is thrown about six teen inches of earth; this earth being, mark you in large clumps, leaving openings for the flies to crawl in and crawl out, and most certainly liable to be washed away by the first heavy rain. 1 visited Potter's Field yesterday afternoon. At dusk there yet remained nineteen bodies unburied, the most frightful state of decomposition. THE WEST BRANCH COAL FRAIDS.-Mr. WM PAYNE, of Heckscherville, in this county, who (in connection with Martens and P. HEILNER, of Mi nersville,) has been charged with a series of gross frauds upon the P. & R. Railroad, and a number of their individual customers, by means of false certifi cates of weight, has published his promised "state ment of the facts" in relation to those frauds. He sets out with the assveration that whatever' errors he may have committed to vindicate his own rights, he has not in the transportation of Coal in tentionally wronged any one, and that if such wrongs were committed they were in opposition to his pos itive orders and most earnest wishes. ,He claims that the Reading Railroad Com,,any have been for years past and still are largely indebted to himself and partners; that in his position at the time it was not policy to go to law with the Company, and con sequently he `felt justified in a moral point of view" in getting his money out of them in the best way he could. He charges too in conclusion, that frauds of ten fold more magnitude, have for years past been per petrated under 'the eyes of the . Company, at Port Richmond, in three ways, viz: By false consign ments of coal to New York, intended for ports east of that point, in order fraudulently to get the draw backs. By false certificates of weight of coal sent from Port Richmond, and by false returns of coal dumped in order to get the allowance made by the Company for dumpage. From this it would seem that the West Branch Frauds, which have been looked upon by the peo ple here as very considerable, are to be completely thrown in the shade by those of a more dark and heinous character, committed by other parties at Port Richmond. The public may look for new arid more startling developements in due season.—Potts vile Emporium. INTERNATIONAL CLAIMS.-A proclamation has been issued by President Pierce, bearing date the 20th Met., announcing that a convention has been agreed upon and duly ratified by the Governments of Great Britian and the United States for the settle ment of claims etween the two countries This treaty was negoduted at London, by Mr. Ingersoll, and provides for theappointment ot one commision er by the President of the United States, and one by the Queen of Great Britian, both of whom shall meet in London, at the earliest convenient period alter their appointment, and, efter proper qualifica tion, shall appoint some third person to act as an arbitrator or umpire in cases where they differ; or, if they'cannot agree upon a common umpire, each shall appoint one, and when the commisiooer`s•differ on claims, lots shall be drown to determine which umpire shall decide. The commissioners are to hear and adjudge all claims upon either government, by citizens of the other, since the treaty of Ghent of the year 1814. They are to hear all evidence acd examine all documents on the subject; and, if reqtired, shall hear one person as counsel on either side. All claims must be presented to the commis sion within six months after their first meeting, un less satigfactory reasons for delay can be given.— The decisions of the commission are to be regarded as final and binding, and to be carried into effect, and the contracting parties agree to consider this a a full and final settlement of every claith upon eith er government - prior to'the date of the present con vention. EU" The following extract is from a letter writ ten by the Hon. E. A. HueNEGAN, of Indiana, to the editor of the Evansville Enquirer: "Why is it that a portion of the Democratic press is waging war upon the President for his appoint ments to office ? Have we fought the battle for of fices or for principles? If the former, then every man in the United States who voted for Pierce, should be provided with one; if the latter, as the simple minded masses honestly believe, then such war is shameless in the extreme." County Commissioner. Mn. EDITOR :—lt is twenty years since the city of Lancaster has been honored with a County Corn missioner, and during that time, many of our citi zens. have had just cause to complain that when they came to the city no business could be transact ed but during a certain hour of the second Mon day in each month. The illiberality of the Whig party has amounted to gross injustice by cutting off the city Irom any participation in the affairs of the County; although thirteen thousand citizens with their valuable city property have been most heavily assessed and taxed for county purposes. We beg leave to present the name of our fellow citizen, J. FRANKLIN REroArr, Esq., as a suitable person to perform the duties of County Committal on• er.

The yield of the present tariff is very large, be ing sufficient to discharge the debts of the Govern ment as they accrued, and to leave in the Treasury at. the close-of the fiscal year 1853, over $22,000,- 000.-- So very unexpected was this to the .ate goy 'ernment that Mr. Corwin asked for a loan of $16,- 000,000 to enable him to meet current expenses at an estimatelar less than the sums actually appro priated by Congress`.' - ' The ad valorem principle of the tariff is peculiarly adapted to the advantage of the revenue in a season of rising prices, and opera ting in connection with the Independent Treasury cash feature, is calculated to check importation, which might have been iuduced by an expanded state of the currency here. When prices here rise under the influence of an expanded paper currency. inducing inordinate importation, the operation of the tariff, exacting cash duties, and accumulating the coin in the Government vaults, would be direct ly to deplete the currency, reduce the prices and di minish imports. The present state of the currency inthe`United States is not inflated as compared with those of the countries with which we deal. If the imports have been large it is because the exports have also been large, and the payment must be re ceived by a gold producing and exporting country in the 'shape of goods. The rise in prices which has actually taken place, it would seem, has pre vailed as well abroad as here, growing out of the general influence of a larger supply 01 precious met als to the world's commerce. The larger exports of the United States involved increased imports at the higher prices, which taxed ad valorem have car ried the federal revenues to an extraordirary high level. The surplus has become inconveniently large and requires remedy, that is to say, the rate of Lou' should be reduced to correspond with the increased business. The supposed relative rise in the value of silver to gold induced Congress to reduce the quantity of silver contained' in the coin. The rel ative rise in the value of goOds ought to be met with a corresponding reduction in the rate of tax , an average 01 25 per cent. on the present value ot goods is a far more onerous tax than 40 per cent. it few years since. It is possible, however, that many articles have not risen so much, in value, and are therefore relatively taxed less than other goods, and 'his operates unequally upon the production of dif ferent countries. The linens of Ireland, for instance have risen in a less ratio than the silks of France; hence the latter country is taxed -on its produCts more than Great Britain by the mere operation of prices. It is, we believe, very generally admitted that no interest now in this country, requires the Govern ment to support it by bounties drawn from the con- Rimers ; tbat is to say, all those persons who, by the false action of the Government, were induced to invest capital in any branch of manufactures un der the implied assurance that they should be sus tained in a losing business, by Government inter Terence in their behalf, are now in a condition to help themselves, and do not desire the Government by its mischievous interference, to induce more cap ital to compete with them as well as others. By this repeated folly..ot the Government the manufac turing industry of the United States has been re tarded in its developement at least hall a century. Struggling ngainst this oppressive protection, the ingenuity and skill of the people have at last so far developed manufactuling productions as to make the competition of foreign articles less detrimental to individual interests, than the enterprise of domes tic capital, spurred on by the false action of the Government to embark in the ruinous competition with established concerns. It is, therefore the case, that raising the duties to a prohibitive point, in or der to reduce the amount of revenue would find very little favor from any class, and would be most det rimental to the existing menufactdrers. Some mode of proceeding in order to give greater latitude to trade and less funds to the treasnry, seems impera tive, and experience, both here and in England, in dicates that mode. When the " black tariff" of 1828, by its oppressive action, drew the country to the verge of civil war and developed nullification,. the compromise of interests was effected by Mr. Clay and carried out in the tariff 01 1832-33. By those laws a very long list of articles was declared free of duty and biennial reductions made upon those still taxed, until in 1842 the whole should reach a common level of 20 per cent. The financial revolution which rolled over the face of the civilized world so reduced the revenues of the government that, in 1841, it was thought advisable to impose 20 per cent duties upon all the articles that had, been made free by the acts ot 1832 -33. The general level of taxes upon all the oth er articles was raised by the tariff of the following year. The present tariff of 1846 substitutedad vs lorem for the specific taxes, but did nut in effect re duce the duties. On the other hand, under its ope ration the taxes are now higher than ever. The ob vious want now, is to remove all the duties on the articles made free by the compromise 01 1833, and which were retaxed in 1841. The list comprises the articles which do not come in competition with American production, but which, us raw materials, enter into American manufactures. The English policy since 1842 has been identically with this.— The number 01 articles which paid duty in 18-12 was 1097, and the revenue produce wa512.23,821, 486. Duties amounting to £8,893,355 have since been entirely removed on 031 articles, and the re maining 466 gaie .£22,312,513 in 1852. The ef fect of this large reduction of duties was to stimu late the exports of England's products, by enabling them to be made at lower cost. The larger ex ports required greater returns in the taxed articles snstaining the revenue. The compromise is as fol lows : Iteumme • Export. Imports „:23,b21 :UP 1130,41,b1/2 6.f,22.3,222.1 22,312,613 219,545,699 109,345,409 n •r=ood err, I 091 The exports here are the " declared," or the true values, while the importsare old official values, and imply comparatively rather quantities than values. Thus the exports of England have doubled nearly in value, while the imports have increased 60 per cent, in quantity. The true valuation of these arti Iles would show a rise probably equal to that of the aggregate exports. It follows that the com merce of Great Britain has doubled simultaneously with the removal of duties from one half of the ar ticles imported. One fifth £4.560,000—0f the cus tom revenue is paid by tobacco, and liquors, sugar, tea, and coffee pay nearly the balance. These are all articles none of which are produced in' Great Britain, but the consumption is well distributed, making the duty fall pretty equally upon those of moderate means. The very poor avoid the tax by not using them. All necessary articles are free.— The general revenue of the country has felt the ben efit of prosperity which has resulted from - the re moval of taxes from all articles, except four or five tropical products. With the exception of the arti cles named, the English duties are not 3 per cent., while in the United States the average is 25 per cent., yielding a superabundant revenue. Our man• ulacturers have now reached a point when the ex port trade is necessary to them . ; what. therefore is now their interest is to remove all duties upon ar ticles that influence production, and place them on a footing with their English competitors. 113A,,et us rally still under that hallowed name —" g."—Ocean Signal. It is is indeed, a "hallowed name;" hallowed by a thousand recollections of political outrage. It was under that "hallowed name" that Tom Corwin, in his place in the Senate. of the United Stater, advised the Mexicans to " Welcome" our gallant countrymen with "bloody hands to hospitable graves!" It was "under that hallowed name" that your Gardners, Crawlords, and their plundering cohorts, appropri ated the people's money by hundreds of thousands! It was "under that hallowed name" that King and Col lier robbed the Government, through the Custom House, at San Froncisco, California, and for which they are now under indictment, by a Grand Jury of their countrymen! . _ It was "under that hallowed name" that in 1840 the country was deluged with "Hard Cider" and harder rum—the rising generation corrupted in mor als, and every principle of political decency out raged. It was "under that hallowed name" that the people were deluded and lid astray by extraor dinary exhibitions of filthy Coons, Log Cabins, Ci ner Barrels, Oppossum skins, &c., and by unmean ing and lavish promises of 'better times,' -tro dol lars a day and Roast Beef," &c. It was by a party sailing "under that hallowed name" that the people of New Jersey were, for a long series of years, com pelled to trudge along under an Old British Charter, which deprived them of the enjoyment of the priv ileges of Freemen, and placed many of them upon an equality with the Southern Slave, It was "un der that hallowed name" that the party who rallied denied to the poor man of N.
