CONSPIRACY AMONG FLOUR DEALERS.-Co der the above head the Buffalo Republic states that a meeting of the Flour Dealers was re cently held at the Clarendon in that city for the purpose of making arrangements for keep ing the price of breadstuffe up. That journal states that the' combination there made con trolled three-fourths of the stock in market, and was designed for the purpose of enabling its members to get rid of their present stock without being subject to any heavy losses.— Under the impression that the new crop could not be put into the market within 50 or 60 days, they were in hopes that they might keep the price up for that time. The Republic adds: The truth is, that when the cry of famine • went up from the land last autumn, certain parties took it into their heads to purchase the entire wheat crop in, Canada, Michigan, and Wisconsin and Illinois. The banks were cal ' led on and made liberal advancements; bin • the more wheat they purchased the faster the supplies, stimulated by the high prices, canoe into market. The banks were caught as well their Customers, and were er mpelled to help them through by still further alvances. As competition ran high, in order• to secure most of the crop so as to control the supply, the buyers were compelled to pay rates which pro vented them from delivering even the eon,- : monest grades of flour at this port fur less !than S 8 per barrel. When, therefore, prices began to recede in the New York Market to within a fraction of this figure, with indica ' tions of a still further decline, these holders became alarmed and sought by means of a combination to obtain the fifty or sixty days' grace before spoken of, in order to save them selves as far as possible. For ourselves, .we •tore pleased to see that their efforts are likely to prove unsuccessful ; hut in regard to the fact which our cotemporary calls in question, we have the evidenceof at least a score of wit aesses, including letters, telegraphic dispatch es, &e., from New York, of a character alto gether unimpeachable. Va)*l3utlltlo isnot the only place where this game is played. 1. The same thing occurs.here in Lancaster—and the weekly meetings at the " porn Exchange," in North Queen street, of Millers and. Speculators is evidently for the purpose of controlling, the market,.and keep ing up the price of breadstuff. All such combinations or conspiracies, to increase the necessaries of life should be made, by law, a n indictable offence, and punished with severity. We go in for free trade to its fullest extent, especially in the article of breadstuffs— and the banks that lend their money to flour speculators, fur the purpose of keeping up 'the price, should be made to forfeit their charters ; fur in such case, they become a pos 'Wye injury, instead of a benefit to the com munity in which they are located. Qom' A Whig State Convention is to beheld at Harrisburg, on the 11th of September—we 'suppose for the purpose of nominating a can didate for Canal Commissioner, unless the ob ject be to formally dissolve the party, or rath er that portion of it which has not been !Swal lowed up in Know-Nothingism. The latter 'course, we apprehend; ould be the wisest one to take. ORGANIZATION OF TUE DF:;,oc RATic S TA TE CENTI36L COMM ITTSE,..„7-di 10 , o'clock on Wed nesday, the Sta -; , .d Central 'Commitiee met at the MerrLiant,s Hotel, Philadelphia; James F. je 2unston, Chairman, presiding. H. A. Gil of the city, and Jacob Ziegler, of Har risburg, were appointed Secretaries, and G. G. Westcott, Treasurer. Arrangements fur celebrating the anniversa ry of the adoption of the Constitution of the United States were made. The Committee have taken ample precau• lion for excluding members of the "Dark Lantern" party from all connection with the party, either as candidates or members of committees. Their next meeting will be held at Bueh ler's Hotel, in Harrisburg, on the 15th of ger Postmaster General CIAXIPI3kI:I. was on a visit to Philadelphia last weak, and received a hearty welcome from bis nume rous friends. On Friday roeie down to the Navy Yard, where he was received with a salute of seventeen guns, as a mark of respect for the high official •position he holds in the Government. lit Ea=.' The Yellow Fever is at Portsmouth and Norfolk, in Virginia, and a large number of deaths have occurred from the disease.— The first death was upon the steam propeller Ben Franklin, recently arrived from the West India Islands, from which circumstance it is supposed the disease was brought to Ports mouth by that vessel. THE MAIN LINE NOT SOLD.—On Tuesday evening last, the main line of the Pennsylva nia State works was put up for sale, at pub lic auction, at the Merchants' Exchange, in Philadelphia—but not a single bid was made. Gov. Pollock was present, and after giving a reasonable time to the persons assembled, when it was discovered that no bids were likely to offer, the whole matter was adjourn ed sine die. Gov. Reeder has refused (so report says) to recognize the legality of the Legisla.- tore of that Territory—the majority of the body having expelled the legally elected mem bers. ler Col. WALLACE, of the Philadelphia Sun, has associated with himself JOSUE( L. CLUSTER, Esq., as a co-editor of that racy and interesting sheet. Mr. C. is a graceful and ready writer, and has had considerable expe rience in political controversy. With two such editors, the Sun, cannot but shine with increased splendor.

The dome of the Capitol at Washington is to be taken down entirely to the roof of the Wilding, and a nee mono erected, to receive which, a base, somewhat of an octagonal form, is to be constructed, 25 feet high, and 132 feet* in diameter. On this base will stand a noble colonade, 123 feet in diameter, consisting of 36 columns, with appropriate entablatures, balustrades, &c., from which will rise an en riched attice of 38 feet igheight by 107 feet in diameter. This attic will form the base of the cupola, the diameter of which latter will be 88 feet and the height 56 feet. On this will be a lantern, Supporting a colossal statue of the Goddess of Liberty. The height of the whole structure, from the ground on the east ern front of the building, will be 300 feet.— The interior of the dome will be rich in orna ments of a bold and striking character, the present rotunda being. preserved as high as the top of the cornice, above which will be a belt of sculpture nine feet high, and nearly 300 in length, around the entire sculpture.— Above this will be a succession of ga:leries, colonades entablatures, attics and balustrades, surrounded by a hemispherical ceiling, and crowned by the lantern above mentioned, the height of the latter from the floor being 218 feet. Thus, when the work is complete, one may look down from that point upon the groups of persons gathered in the rotunda far beneath. The highest looking point will be -275 feet above the ground on the eastern front. All the work will be of iron from the bottom to the top, inside and outside, the finest struc ture of that material yet built. ne... The "Noisy CARRIER," at San Fran cisco, California, has kindly sent us a num ber of California and-other papers, for which we return our hearty thanks. Gov. REEDER.—WC have reliable informa tion. to the effect that Gov. REEDER has entire ly refuted the charges brought against him in regard to the half-breed lands, and that the Administration - is perfectly satisfied with his course in the Territory of Kansas. This will be gratifying intelligence for the people of Pennsylvania. Gov. REEDER has, by his in dependent and fearless course, created fur himself hosts of friends everywhere, and the fact that the National Administration is de termined to sustain him, is another evidence that the men who compose that Administra tion are pure patriots and honest men—men who do not seek to conciliate localities by ca tering to their prejudices.—HarrisburgPatriot.

There were "gay young politicians that Ifivunted the house" the corrupt - monster lived in s —and, we would add, dashing ohl Ties too, sothe of whom have since aspired to the highest ofhces in the gift of the people. Those were the dark days of the Republic, when•fced Attorneys of the Bank, and ethers hi the . emphiy of Nicholas Biddle ("bribed politicians, it pnay be,") were per mitted to Occupy seats ' t in the National and State Legislatures—aye, even in the Senate of the Nation—and use the influence of their positions for the purpose of forcing a re-char. ter of this infamous, plundering institution, upon the country. But,; thank Heaven, AN DREW JACKSON was then President of the United States—the man ,of iron will and stern resolve—and he, and he alone, inflicted the death-blow upon the monster. It was his inflexible honesty and pure patriotism that saved the Nation from being enslaved by the accursed monster and its satellites both in Congress and out of it. WHAT OTHERS SAY.—The following is the language in which the Philadelphia Sun, a leadi;lg Know-Nothing paper, speaks of the candidate of our party!f or Canal COMMIS- The Democratic State Convention assembled at Harrisburg on the 4th, and nominated Ar nold Plumer, of Venango. county, for Canal Commissioner. This gentleman has represen ted the State in Congress and his county in the Legislature, and filled other important of flees with fidelity and ribility. Hm is a most deserving and high toned gentleman, and re flects more credit upon the party that nomi nated him, than it cam ever pay him back. Such testimony, front such a source should have due weight with the people. ANOTHER VERSION.—The Albany Atlas, re ferring to the last Kriuw-Nothing calumny, " The story was first given out in a different shape. It was said tit( General Scott, through his personal friends, pledged Archbishop lltwhes a seat for a Caa.holic in the cabinet; but 9 that the Pierce democrats bid higher, of fering an additional office of patronage (the district attorneyship of New York.) General Scott denied under signature any part in such an intrigue. "Mr. Campbell was: appointed Postmaster General by Pierce just as he had been nomi nated for judge in Pennsylvania by the State convention of the democracy. No one doubt. ed his capacity. Indeed, in the administra tion of the office he has exhibited the highest talents and energy ; and neither the President nor the State convention deemed a man's creed a disqualification for office." GEN. JOHN Wran3l.lts . ..—This gentlenian is strongly recommended by a number of influ ential journals throughout the State, as the next Democratic candidate for Governor. He is a citizen of our native county—Lebanon, and one of the soundeA lawyers in the State. Nothing would give uo more pleasure than see ing the Gen'l occupy the Gubernatorial chair of Pennsylvania. Ile: is a worthy, venerated and respectable man, Sound in the Democrat ic faith, of enlarged business experience, great urbanity of manners, ;proverbial honesty, with a character—morally and politically—without spot or blemish. The selection of such a can didate would augur the'return of the party to its first and better instincts, and again place the Old Keystone in its former proud position among the States of , the Union.—Leicisburg Democrat. THE STATE FisiNdEs::—The interest on the public debt of the Coinnionwealth will be paid on the Ist of August,the requisite amount be ing already in the State Treasury. Indeed there will be some two or three hundred thou sand dollars on hand rafter the interest is paid. It is not to be inferred from this, however, that the treasury is now ih a particularly good con dition. On the contrary, the Philadelphia Ledger is assured by good authority that the State dunces have not been in a worse 2 condi tion than at present; since the year 1844. The temporary loans of the State already ex ceed a million of dollars, a very large sum, and one, from present prOspects, not likely soon to be lessoned. The Withdrawal of the cars and boats from the main line of public works by one or two large transporting firms, we are told will lesson the receipts into the treasury some two hundred thousand dollars or more.

His nomination at tlq: present time has not been sought by him. 14 has made nu bargains, promises, nor efforts tik obtain it. He is willing to assume the re sponsibilities into which an almost certain election will introduce him, and bring the force of his judgment again into public sert vice." " In support of such a candidate the Demo t critic party should be a unit. The service of every man who claims to be a Democrat are due to the nominees of that party, if thos nominees are honest and competent. Deinnej racy is not a thing to be put on and off at thy convenience of the wearer, like a garment.— i It is a great principle r -established on the firm and lasting basis of truth and justice, and changing-not with the whims and vagaries of any age. It teaches that the duty of man iS faithfulness to God, his cause, and his fellows It cringes not to any power; fawns not to a.O master; despairs not in any trial; and tn., umphs only when the country is prosperotut and happy. And the party which battles fu' that principle-is invincible when upited. Nt danger can intimidate it—no overthrow ca annihilate it;—but it stands, and must eve stand, the bulwark of freedom.— York Gazette' KANSAS.-M. F. Conway, Esq., who was elected to the Territorial Council of •Kansas, ) from the ith district, has resigned his office.' His reason for so doing is that a large majori ty of the Legislature were elected by fraud and imposed upon the people of Kansas b force of arms." He says it is " substantially provincial council instituted by a daring and i unscrupulous league in the state of Missouri and other parts of the South, to govern a peel ple, whose Liberties they have ruthlessly stricken down." After paying Gov. Reeder a high compliment for his official conduct in re, ference to the election outrages—Mr. Conwa • concludes as follows: "Under these circumstances it would b either fraudulent or pusilanimous in me to re! spect this as the Legislature of Kansas. I and not willing to do it. Whatever the timorouq or the time-serving may suggest or advise, I shall do nothing of the kind. Instead of Fel cognizing this as the Legislature of Kansasl and participating in its proceedings as such] I utterly repudiate and reprobate it as derogf• atory to the respectability of popular govern, meat, and insulting to the virtue and intelli gence of the age. • M.

But so little has heretofore been known throughout the State of the movement now been made for its establishment, and the deter mined purpose of the Board of Trustees to act speed ily, that it would be inexpedient and injudicious that your committee should, at tois moment, reconi rdentt the adoption ut one site us more eligible than the others.

Resolved, That the duties of the committee here tofore appointed to receive communications and ex amine proposed points of location be continued ; and should any further propositions be made, that they report the same to the Board at its next meeting. Wilaaaes, The determination of the Board speed ily to put the "Farmers' High School" into opera tion renders it necessary that a Principal to conduct its operations and teachings, and especially to aid in its or anization, should be chosen ; therefore. Resolved, That Dr. A. L. Elwyn, John Strohm, and Wm Jessup, be a committee whose duty it shall be to select a proper person fur the purpose and that they make report to the next meeting of the Board. P. S.—After the Board had taken action upon the -foregoing report and resolutions ' a gentleman of Dauphin county, a member of the Executive Com mittee of the State Agricultural Society, appe axed before the Board, and said that at the next meeting, the citizens of Dauphin taimnty, to Induce the locu tion er„ ens acnool here, would offer to pay the sum of ten thousand dollars, and with a view to its attain ment he would head the subscription with one thou sand dollars. A delegation of Messrs. Geo. W. Pat ton and John Morrow from the county of Blair, on behalf of her citizens, proposed that they would pur chase and payfor two hundred acres of land of Col. Bakir, in addition to what he offers gratuitously.= Thus presenting to the Board a grant of four hun dred acres on conditiontd the location of the School there. A cotimmunication was received Mtn Joseph Bailey and referred to the committee having charge of the subject, inviting the Trustees to look.at a large tract of land in Perry county which ho proposes to sell upon liberal terms to the Farmers' high School. A communication was received from Algernon S. Roberts, stating that the imperative demands of public business prevented his attendance. On motion of John Strohm, the proceedings of this meeting were ordered to be published, with the re quest that 'all papers in the State would copy the same. On motion the Board adjourned. HOB'T. C.

It is.an organization which may suit unscrupulous politicians to use for their own selfish pnrposes, but it will drive from it all good men, and will infallibly tall from its own weakness. Not even the glori ous principles which Caused its rise can long prevent its downfall.
