CYRUS REAM, East Oxalic() Democratic Meeting A meeting of the Democrats of the City of Lan caster, will be held in the MARKET HOUSE, on Saturday evening next, the 29th inst., at 7 o'clk. Addresses will be delivered by Meisrs. Sanderson, Swan and otberh. Turn out, Democrats, one and all, to the meeting. Sept. 25 Democrats t are you Assessedt We would remind our Democratic friends of the necessity of having their names on the Assessment lists AT LEAST TEN DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION. The lists are now placed at the several election polls, where they may be examined. See that your name is recorded in good time, or your vote Skill be lost. Young men who last year voted "on age" should see that they have been assessed this year. The Pledge Signed The Chairman of the Democratic County Committee, 11. B. SWARR, Esq., requests us to announce that, in obedience to the resolu tion of the County Convention, he addressed a letter with the pledge annexed to each candi date upon the ticket, and that all hare signed the same promptly and cheerfully. They, therefore, each and all stand "fair and square" upon the platform of the Convention, and are entitled to the support of every Democrat in the County. Democrats of Lancaster County! But two weeks intervene between this and the election, and what is to be done in the way of organization, for the purpose of bring ing every voter to the polls, must he done quickly to have the desired effect. There is not a moment to lose. Our Know-Nothing enemies are busily at work endeavoring to create distraction in the Democratic ranks.— They fear that if the Democracy present a united front in support of their ticket, they will succeed, and thus give a death-blow to Cameronianism in Lancaster county. Hence their virulent and vindictive assaults upon several of the Democratic candidates, and hence their efforts to poison the minds of hon est, but unsuspecting members of the party against a portion of the ticket. Here, in the City, in this hot-bed of faction and Know-No thingism, all the schemes and plots originate, and from this centre it is sought to poison and corrupt the minds of the people throughout the county. What say you, Democrats of the - Country ? Will you listen to the false and malicious fab rications of this central banditti? Is there any doubt as to the political integrity of any of your candidates? Are they not men of char acter as Democrats and as citizens? Can aught be laid to the charge of such men as Messrs. Henderson, Brush, Reinhold, Gross, Howell, Spencer, Duchman, Eckert, Mason, Huber, or Ream ? Dare any one charge them, or either of them, with any thing wrong?— Then why should . they not have the cheerful support of every Democrat in the County?— We pause for a reply. Yet these are the men, together with the humble writer of this arti cle, whom the factious and unprincipled in the City are endeavdring by foul means and base inuendoes to strike down ! Will not the Democrats of the Country rally to the rescue, and rebuke these political trimmers in the City, and teach them a lesson of honesty and integrity? We believe they will. Yea, we are sure the Country Democrats will do their whole duty un the,second Tuesday of October. Know , Nothiugism Exemplified Not content with misrepresenting the course of the editor of this paper on the subject of temperance, the Know Nothing leaders are busy in attempting to get up a prejudice against him because he happens to belong to a particular branch of the Christian Church. This is only carrying out one of the leading principles of i iriow Nothingism. First they persecute Catholics—now they are down on the Methodists. Next; we suppose, they will attack the Lutherans, the Presbyterians, the German Reformed, the Episcopalians, the Baptists, and so on to the end of the chapter. Well, be it so, we have no objection to them pursuing such a course, and are prepared for the sacrifice, if it must be so. But will the honest and well meaning part of the communi ty, look upon such conduct with complaCeney? We were early taught, and so have always believed, and ever shall believe, that religion is. a matter between man and his Maker, to whom alone he is responsible fur his belief, and that no human power has any right to interfere with it. The Know Nothings, how ever, think and act differently—and they do it too in the face of the Constitution which guarantees the liberty of conscience to every man. More anon. This gentleman—the Democratic nominee for Canal Commissioner—is one of the purest and best men in the Commonwealth, and will be elected by an overwhelming majority.— The respectable papers of every party in the State speak of him in terms of praise—all, even his bitterest political enemies, admit that he stands before the people with a char acter, both moral and political, unstained by a single blemish. Such a man the people will always delight to honor. Peter Martin—Canal Commissioner This gentleman, it appears, is the Know- Nothing candidate for Canal Commissioner.— Ile is a respectable citizen of Lancaster coun ty,, and our regret is that he has permitted himself to be the candidate of such a party.— There are now, we believe, no less than fire candidates in the field fur the post of Canal Coinmissioner, viz : Arnold Plumer, (Dem.) Yenango. Joseph Henderson, (Whig) Washington. Peter Martin, (K. N.) Lancaster. Kimber Cleaver, (N. Amer.) Schuylkill. Passmoi•e Williamson, ( - Abo,.) Phil. Prison THE NEW REPUBLIC.—This is the title of a monthly Journal, about to be started in llar risburg, by John Wolf, an intelligent colored man, who will doubtless be able to make it interesting to all who wish well to the cause of Liberian Colonization to'which it is mainly to be devoted. To be published on the first of every mouth, at $1 per ihnum. We wish The Howl of the Opposition. _ It is either the good fortune or ituisfortune of at least one of the Democratic 'Candidates, to be the most talked of, and, in some-res pecta, the best abused and misrepresented nutri in the county at the present time. Not that they pretend to say any thing against his moral . or political character—for that we opine they will hardly attempt—but, forsooth, he is a sober man, (not a temperance man ac cording to the common acceptation of the term, for be never was a member of a temper ance society) and tries to lead a moral, up right life, without interfering with his neigh bors in. any way that he can avoid ; because he is known to be an early, consistent and unfaltering friend of Mr. BurcaANAN ; and be cause he is the known and avowed opponent of SIMON CAMERON in all his insidious move ments for political promotion. We apprehend this last to be the true reason of the wicked, venomous and continued assaults upon the candidate referred to—hence all the Know- Nothing shafts are aimed at his devoted head, and the edict has gone forth (doubtless from the great Mogul of the Middletown Bank him self) that SANDERSON must be defeated, by all means, should it be at the expense of honor, honesty and even decency itself. From the moment the nomination was mad, till this hour, vituperation and calumny have been freely employed by the Know-Nothing partisans of Cameron ; and, we have very 1 little doubt, that, in addition to all these foul and unfair means, money will be furnished and freely used to accomplish the object. It rests now with the true-hearted Demo cracy of the county to say whether they will fold their arms and see one of their candidates sacrificed and the whole ticket defeated, to gratify Know-Nothing spleen, and promote the election of Simon Cameron to the cr. S. Senate: For that is the issue, and the great leading issue in the present campaign. Cam eron is at work, day and night, to secure a majority of Know-Nothings of the Winneba go stripe to the next Legislature so that he may be sent to the U. S. Senate, and the five members from Lancaster county would be a great help to him in securing the object of his ambitious longings. Will any Democrat —will any honest man of any party, be wil ling to aid, either actively or passively, in bringing about such a result? We think nut. We believe there is too much honesty and in telligence in the great mass of the people of Lancaster county to be made the dupes of a designing, dishonest political demagogue, and we shall be much mistaken indeed, if the Se cond Tuesday of October does not teach him and his dark lantern party a lesson which will be of use to them in all time to come. A Good Sign If the Democratic ticket be so weak and ob jectionable as some of its opponents would fain make the public believe, why do they aim all their envenomed shafts at it, or at least at several of the candidates upon it? Why waste so much breath in falsifying and misrepresent ing any of the Democratic nominees, if there is do danger of their election ? It is a most sin gular course, to say the least of it ; and is proof positive of one of two things—either a disposition wilfully to misrepresent for the love of the thing, or else a strong and growing fear (which is more probable) that the Demo oratic ticket stands decidedly the best chance of an election. We hear nothing said about any of the can didates on either of the other tickets in the field. The whole artillery of our Know-Noth ing opponents is directed against the Demo cratic ticket in general, and our humble self in particular. We hope they will continue to fire away in the same direction ; we shall take it as a good sign—an unerring indication of the way the wind blows. We hope our Dem ocratic friends throughout the county will mark this sign of the times, and do their whole duty accordingly. An Immense Meeting The celebration of the 08th anniversary of the adoptital of the Federal Constitution, in Philadelphia, on the evening of the 11th inst., was a monster assemblage of the Democracy. Independence Square was filled to overflow ing, and the Pennsylvanian estimates the number of persons present at 30,000! The meeting was presided over by that veteran Democrat, FREDERICK STCEVER, Esq., who was, assisted by a large number of Vice Presidents and' Secretaries—amongst whom we recognize the names of our esteemed fellow-citizens, Dr. F. -A. Muldenberg, and Messrs. James L. Reynolds and 11. B. Swarr. Strong resolu tions were adopted, and patriotic'letters read from Gen. Lewis Cass, of Michigan, Hon. G. M. Dallas, ex-Governor Bigler, Gov. Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, lion. John Slidell, of Louisiana, Hun. John R. Thompson, of New Jersey, and Hon. Daniel E. Sickles, of New York. Speeches were made by Hon. W. A. Richardson, Col. John W. Forney, Hon. Bar clay Martin, Hon. A. 0. P. Nicholson, H. Sewell, G. F. Staid, Hon. H. B. Wright, Hon. 'l'. B. Florence, Hon. IV. 11. Witte, HUH. D. E. Sickles, C. W. Carrigan, and others. A NEW PAPER.—A new Democratic weekly, called the " Spirit of Seventy-Six," has been started in Philadelphia, by C. D. lIINELINE, Esq., formerly editor of the Camden (N. J.) Democrat. The second number is now before us, and presents a neat and attractive appear ance; and from the well known talents and business capacities of Mr. IL we have no doubt the "Spirit" will be a valuable help to the Democracy of Philadelphia. We wish our friend every success in his•euterprise. CHECKERED POLITICS.-A Libert3 Party Convention was held at Utica, N. Y., on Wed nesday week and the following ticket fur State ofic-ers was nominated : Secretary of State—Fred. Douglas, (black man.) Comptroller—Lewis Tappan, (white man. Treamn•er—James C. Belong, (white man. ' Attorney General—James B. Vashan, (black man.) Canal Commissioner—William' Smith, (white man.) • States Prison Inspector—George W. Clarke, (white man.) Judges Court of Appeals—Beriah Green, WM. Goodell, (white.) Another Richmond in the Field! The "Constitutional Freedom Committee" Francis H. Carpenter, Chairman—met at Christian Shenk's Hotel, on Saturday after noon last, and selected the following names from the three regular tickets already in the field, to compose the "Constitutional Free dom" ticket for the Legislature, viz: Henry Schaffner, Know-Nothing. Henry H. Kurtz, Whig. John Strohm, do. Jesse Reinhold, Dem George G. Brush ; do. Mr. Schaffner was present as one of the "Constitutional Committee," had himself set tled, and, of course, will stand the 'nomination. But whether the other gentlemen named will accept the honors so unexpectedly and with out solicitation conferred upon them, remainns to be seen. We doubt it exceeding, at least so far as Messrs. Reinhold and:Brush are con cerned. Whilst they will, of course, be thank ful to receive the votes of their fellow-citizens of all parties, they will hardly, in justice to the Democratic party, whose candidates they are, be willing to accept a formal nomination from any other party, lo matter by what name it is called. gm. Ex-Governor BIGLER is expected to speak at a Democratic meeting, to be held at New Bloomfield, Perry co., on the 4th of Oc tober. The Governor is- a native of that The Louisville Banquet. ; At a public dinner given to Governor Pow— , Eta., of Be tucky, on the Bth inst., Upon his retiring from the':'ExeCutive Chair of' diet Commonwealth' seveial veiy able and eloquent speeches Were delivered. We make extracts from two of them 'as folluis: Hon. Nat. Wolfe, a fnrmer Whig. said: "Mr..Presideat, the party to - *Mob I once belonged—the Whig party—is now no more. But its principles remain, and they will re main forever. Believing in their consonance with the permanent establishment of civil lib erty and the perpetuity of our institutions, I shall cling to them. as the bright hope of the republic, and though but few remain of the gallant band, whose voices nerved the arm of the immortal Clay, yet, like the leaves of the Sybil, they grow more precious as they number.' The eloquent Geo. W. Caldwell said: "Thiold democratic party, God bless her ! still lives, with all her glorious memories clus tering around her. She can boast of a na tionality co-extensive with the Union. Her creed is one. Her orators mny proclaim the same living truths in. Kentucky and Indiana, in the Old Dominion and in the Keystone, among the granite hills of New Hampshire or the savannas of Georgia. She has no need of concealment or of dark lanterns; no religious proscription, no persecution of races, no blood of innocent victims, mark her career with in famy and crime. Her history is the history of the preservation and progress of the Union. Mark the expansion of our territory, the in crease of our population, our wide-spread commerce, our happy people, the triumphs of our flag by sea and land--these are the tro phies which the democratic party have laid at the feet of the Union. In her are all the hopes of the Union centered. Her nationality has stood the test of the severest trials in the past. And now, Mr. President, in the coming con flict for the preservation of 'a constitutional Union,' and in defence of human liberty, our hearts are cheered and gladdened by the fra ternal shouts of our noble allies—a new con- tingent to the democratic forces, composed of the very elite of the old Whig party; their no ble patriotism, as expressed by their distin guished orator who has just taken his seat, brings joy to the hearts of the democracy, and gives them renewed confidence in their cause. The allied army, and they only, can perpetu: ate the Union." Judge W iikins ngeinst the Jug Late.,, The veteran statesman, William Wilkins, the Democratic nominee for the State Senate in the Alleghany district, is oui; In a long and able letter against the so-called "Jug Law" of the last Legislature, and in facer of its repeal. We extract from it the following paragraphs : I .ant not an example of reformation. I have been throughout my long days;and in the course of many vicissitudes, a rigidly tern• palate man. I have never, in the midst of the revel and frolics of others, been intoxicar-- ed. I have never drank malt liquor, wine or • spirits in the many and varied scenes of divers ified society in which 1 have been thrown at home and abroad. I am, sincerely, the advo cate of Temperance, and my soul yearns fir r the wholesome return which would expel from our community habits of over indulgence and the imprudent use of drinks so ruinous to our advancement and happiness in life. But, the great and deeply interesting ques tion is—How is this reform to be brought about ? I answer, by example, reason and moral suasion ; by the training of our youth and by education ; by the teaching of your neighbor, the schoolmasters, and the Ministers of the Church, and by models, brightly serv ing for illustration, placed before us by our enthrisiastic legislators themselves. This great social and absorbing object cannot be obtained by persecution, nor by wild and ex travagant enthusiasm ; nor by the imposition of heavy fines and imprisonment, making the poor poorer, and ruinous to the unoffending family of the delinquent. Nor by laws so novel and penal as to be almost impossible to be carried into execution, and, certainly so re pulsive to the good sense of the community that nothing but the penalty of forfeiture would excite and bring out the inthrmer and extort the odious accusation before the magis trate. Norcouldanygoodwholesomeur efficacy be found in theenactment of astatute, already abjured and condemned at its birth place, the " Maine Liquor Law," passed by the people of a State whose liquor flows as plentifully as their own river of Penobscot. I would as 'soon think of reviving in Pennsylvania some of the laws of those eastern fellow citizens against witchcraft and sorcery,-as to follow their modern example, manifesting how gifted they are in the office of intolerance. With my views as to the proper mode of re form, and in my hostillity to over severe pen alties, and to the imposition of disproportioncd fines and imprisonment, I should have voted, had I been a member of the Legislature, against the present " License Law," (meaning the " Jug Law ") and am of opinion it should not remain up rn our sta tute book. It was not called for by the pub lic voice, and was in positive disregard of the vote of the people of the State. It was in mockery of the solemn judgment of the free men of the Commonwealth, called for by the legislature itself. BOSTON COURIER AND MAINE ELES"FION- The Boston Courier, an opposition journal'—a 'violent and persistent antagonist of President Pierce, his administration, and all its meas ures, including the Nebraska bill in particular --comments as billows upon the recent result in Maine: "The Maine election has settled two things: In the first place, it has decided that the un reasonable and fanatical liquor law, which had its origin in that State, has not a majori ty of the voters of Maine among its supporters, though it had the assistance of all the strength which the opponents of the Nebraska fraud, when gathered into a similar party, could lend to it ; secondly, it tells the friends of fu sion that while whig seceders—whips with weak backs and frightened faces—went into a ' mumbo jumbo' to effect sonic popular issue, and to. keep their political heads above water, they have been most signally defeated on the simple ground upon which they had based their hopes and predictions. " The fusion men are defeated entirely in Maine, as they are always likely to be when they enter the political field on their own ac count. Coy. Morrill, is beaten down, the Maine law is discountenanced, the issue, which Was placed upon sumptuary laws and aboli tionism, has been decided against the support ers of both these single ideas, and the end is that, in a great vote, the people of Maine have declared against all fanatical fusion." PRESIDENT PIERCE GOING TO HARRISBURG.- A letter has been received by Robert C. Walk er, Esq., from a gentleman in Washington city, stating that President Pierce has accept ed the invitation to visit the Agricultural Ex hibition, "and may confidently be looked fur, unless some unavoidable business prevents his leaving the seat of government at the time." DROUGHT IN RHODE ISLAND.—It is stated that one-half of the manufacturing machinery in Rhode Island has been stopped on account of a drought. Upon both branches of the Pawtucket river there are about 162,000 cot ton spindles, more than 100,000 of which are entirely stopped. Upon the Blackstone it is not so dry, but at least one-half of the machin ery in all the mills is lying idle. The late Naval Board made a report, in which the entire list of naval officers has been overhauled, and many of all grades have been dropped, and others placed on half-pay, sub ject to orders from the department at any time. This will leave room for the promotion of many who have long occupied inferior stations. The Editor's Book Table ARTHUR'S HOME MAGAZINE. Published by T. S.

There is no sum too small, and no sum large to lie received there, and it is not • prising, thereli)re, That this Saving Fund received a very large amount of money. pie who call there find that the Secretary his assistants are kept constantly emplo, from morning till night, and twice a week til a late hour in the evening, in receiving money brought by people who are anxious to put it in for the double purpose of !min it safely kept, and that they may be able atithe same time to get interest fur it. We are well acquainted with the operations 1 of this Saving Fund. We have ourselves fre quently deposited large sums in it—ar in daily personal intercourse with its officers and directors. A great many of our friends lso have put their money in it, and add to it rom time to time until the sums deposited, , vith the accumulated interest, shall enable thein to purchase a house or to accomplish some other important or profitable object. We hear eve ry one of them speak of it with the hif_best approbation on account of the careful manner in which its business is conducted, and hey all refer to it as a perfect model for all similar institutions. I _ -- We have i eAson to believe that large sums of money are kept in private hands bon t in the city and country where it proves a bon- I stant scource of anxiety and of real ding 1 to the owner. There is se treely a day pass s iu which there is not some account in the p blic papers of money having been lost by tire, and still more frequently by robbery. often attended by murder. The possessir nof a very small sum has frequently led to the I t commission of both these crimes. These cal amities are not confined to our cities, bu, , in proportion to the population, are even More frequent in the country. There is reaso ' to believe that a great many fires which hav oc curred both inithe city and country have been preceded by robbery, and the fire created for the purpose of concealin g it. It is therefore a treat public benefit to have an institution in which any sum of money, large or small, can be placed with interest while it remains, and from which the •owner can get it back again in gold at any moment he pleases to can - for it. Precisely such an institution is the Say; Fund of the National Safety Company, and we feel confident that people who put their money in it instead of keeping it in their own houses, subject to he lost at any time from fire. robbery and otheraceidents which so frequent ly hannen, will be relieved from a great load of anxiety and will always lie richer lbv the amount of interest they get for it whi e it remains ithet e. , People who have the largest sums laving idle in their own houses of course feel) the greatest anxiety, and would receive most !ben efit by placing it in this Institution. We have understood that many people who have large sums have come from a great distance to c l put their money in this Saving Fund, on ae ount of the superior safety and convenience ii af fords. and consequently have been relieved from the care and anxiety inseparable L from keeping it in their own houses. It may be 'proper also to state that the mon ey placed in this Saving Fund is carefully in vested in Mortgages, Ground Rents, and aher first class securities, which prevent the possi bility of loss, and further that by the ru es of the Company none of the Directors or Officers can directly or indirectly use or borrow any of its money.

Be it therefire. Rerolrul, That the '`Jug Law" is on enart mew not only utterly uncalled for and not re quilts' by the wants or the people but passed contrary - to their trill, It is the result of the labors politieaL trinnuers, actuated by, a desire to please both sides on at public question of cowards, without the independence 101111 11131111110.:S to express their opinions and tak, a stand either way, zw,l of knaves regardless ol' the Nvishes of the people who placed tloqn in their position. Resolved, That the course of friends of Pro hibition in io-ofessiug themselves satisfied wit! bringing the question of Pt-phibition before the people, and abiding by their decision was against them, and they happened to secure sufficient strength in the Legislature so to do, Will deservedly consign their cause to oblivion, and their action in fOrcing law upon the people will recoil upon their own heads. liesoleed, That the "Jug Law" is unworthy the respect and veneration due to law, it does not deserve popular, obedience because it was passed without the popular sanction, and it shoultrbe treated as null and void. n , , Ind it, On motion a resolution was adopted, appoint ing a committee of live, to be styled the "Cen tra Committee,' whose duty it shall be to pro cure a list of all the licensed Innkeepers of the city and county., together with all liquor dealers ; and assess upon each a tax in propor tion to their respective licenses, provided that such tax shall not be less than three nor more than ten dollars ; and that said commit tee shall have power to appoint a respectable person in each township to collect said tax.— The following gentlemen constitute the com mittee: Emanuel Shober, Michael Mai rain, Christian Shenk, Frederick Cooper and lien ry A. Zug. The following resolution was then read and adopted: Resolved, That we, whose names are here unto affixed, do agree to continue our business of Tavern Keepers, to the end of the term fur which we have paid license to the Common wealth, being for one year from granting of employ counsel to prosecute and d.d• ri..itts and to test the Constitution abr.) ul the so called "Jurg Law."

Correspondence. BELLEFONTE, Sept. 20, 1055 Eimon result of the delegate election held recently in this place, at whicu the K. N. ••Curtin" candidate was so signally defeated, In. =IUDs' other things, clearly demonstrated the fact that Know-Nothingism is fast losing its temporary ascendency in our county, and that even here, the birth-place and residence of our illustrious Secretary of State, there is a want of confidence and popular, ty in the heads of the present State Administration. The corrupt leaders and office seekers of the order have been detected, their treachery and villainy exposed, and already reeling under the burden ut scorn and hearty hatred, they must ere lung settle in the giLter of merited oblivion. The It tickling. lying, cowardly, and perjured politician Must gi‘c way to the man of sterling worth—fawning syco phancy, broken promises, and driveling inconsisten cies, to strict integrity, and honesty of purpose. From all parts of Our State we hear naught bo, contemptuous laughter, and stern reproach—a United and decided opinion, that the present administra tlon is rotten and cuirupt. Even from under the respect which some, for selfish motives, reign to have, we see peeping out the halt disguised, yet visible form of sarcastic contempt for those who hold high position, not from merit, but by the force of eirentn stances. The defeat to which we have alluded, ( IN-Lilo is convinces us that even in the ranks of the K. IN. alder,- tnero are those who are oisposed to punish incompetency and treachery, must if the victim be a man, cover him with mortification and shame Again Curtin has failed to Secure the vote of Centre Co. for U. S Senate: Where now is his hope ? Out of his vanity may yet arise a gliniunsing ray of hope, to which he will M ' int , only to meet again with bitter disappointment. If honors await hint not at home, among his native hills ' where for many long years he has enchained with . his mighty elo quence listening auditors, who were eager to catch each word as it fell from his lips, whilst ranting on the stumg, or in the Quarter Sessions—where his praises have been loudly sung, by his blinded, de luded and erring friends, dupes whose highest am bition is to play tool to the sycophant. At home where his private virtues and notorious integrity are so familiarly known and highly appreciated, where shall he receive them Well may we wonder at and surmise the cause of his defeat, by the party of which he, forgetting the faith of his Catholic fathers, so boastingly proclaimed himself the head and front. 1. trust, Mr. Editor, that the U. S. Senate may never bo disgraced by such superficial, bombastic, and week demigods as the K. N. aspirants—men whose political and private lives have been a libel upon humanity, in whose murky careers there is not one bright spot—in whose characters there is not one redeeming trait. May they meet at the hands of the intelligent voters of our State, their merited deserts—and may they sink into that insig nificance among men which Nature designed for them. Communicated. Robert Fulton's Life and itionuntent We have been informed that our fellow citizen, J. Franklin iteigart, Esq., has collected in this city and county, a variety of very interesting incidents of this distinguished inventor, indicating the charac ter of the man in his youthful days ; the dawnings of genius then displayed, until he embarked in the voyage of life, and by untiring industry, raising himself above the buffeting storms, and the jeers and ridicule of his fellow citizens, he created his own illustrious name, and secured the highest distinction that mortal man can attain, the admiration, honor and gratitude of Nations and their posterity. The book will contain a simple record of facts (ac companied with numerous engraved plates, copies of Mr. Fulton's original Drawings and Paintings) exhibiting the leading incidents and ornaments of his private character, his elevated principles of ac tion, his uncommon usefulness and celebrity, and his undying fame. Mr. iteigart has succeeded in securing a copy-right of his work and intends to publish it shortly for the purpose of purchasing a large square, within the city limits, to be called FULTON SQUARE, and erect ing a Monument in the centre. The Monument is to be of cast iron, a colossal statue of Robert Fulton, supported by a richly ornamented Pedestal; com posed of heavy cast plates, containing correct repre sentations of Mr. Futton's inventions and drawings in alto relievo.—From the original Patterns and Moulds, a large number of these ornamented plates and statues can be cast, and every City in the Dia od States can be supplied, and enabled to perpetu. ate the fame of Fulton, at very little expense be yond the cost of the weight of the iron. Judging from the style of the National Album, containing the views of the Publio Buildings at Washington City, and the emblems and mottoes of each State, with the Autographs of ' our most cele brated men, published a few years ago by Mr. Rei gart, we hate every reason to expect that the life of Robert Fulton will bo a work of interest and beaut y 865-Cholera is said to have broken out in. the Territory of lenses, opposite St. Joseph, ST.
