(Subject to the dectrion of the Denweratir .Vatiormi anerention.) CANAL 0031311BSIONEII: 0E0731110 SCOTT, of Colamb's County AUDITOR GENERAL JACOB FAY, Jr., of Montgomery Count y SURVEYOR GENERAL VINOTNT IVES, of Potter Counts On our first page will be found the very able and excellent addresseardelivered by President GERHART and EMLEN FRANKLIN, Esq., at the dedication of Franklin and Mar shall College. gerThe Democratic National Convention will meet at Cincinnati, on Monday next, the 2d of June. From letters and papers we learn that quite a number of delegates are already en the ground, and that the sentiment there is setting in strongly for Mr. BUCHANAN. Mr. Swans, one of the delegates from this district, left here for Cincinnati, on yesterday morning. The others, Messrs. REYNOLDS and BAKER, started this morning. During the week a number of our friends contemplate leaving for the same point. The Queen City of the West will be crowded with strangers during the time the Convention is in session, A Large Family i During Mr. Buchanan's recent visit to Bal timore he was handed over to the Committee from the latter City, at the line between the States of Pennsylvania and Maryland.— The Chairman of that Committee, Dr. Ilintze addressed him. Mr. Buchanan responded ; and to an allusion by the Dr. that the entire Nation looked up to him (Mr. B.) as a father, said that "if this be so, he truly had a large family—a little noisy at times, to be sure, but all freemen—and if they adopted him as a fath er, he would try to 'take care of them us well as he could." Capital MU, A good story is told of Marcy and Duuglae. At a dinner given by the former to Mr. Bu- chanan, during his recent visit to Washington City, and when the conversation turned some what on the Presidency, the old Premier, turning to the " Little Giant" said :—" Doug las, you put mo in mind of a story I uuoe read." " What is that ?" said he. Why," said Marcy, " a man was driving clung the road at a furious rate, when he suddenly stopped and enquired of a countryman how far it was to a certain village to white he was going. The latter replied that it was about twelve miles : but (and ?derby fixed a quizzical look upon Douglas, as he uttered the concluding part of the sentence with emphasis,) you will get there sooner if' you do not drive quite so _fast ."' All present (including the "Little Giant," who relishes a good joke, even if it should be cracked at his own expense,) joined in a hear ty laugh—and for once in his life Douglas had to knock under. An excellent story is also told of Douglas and Buchanan. Douglas was sitting in a private paidor at Guy's National Hotel the other night talking with a dozen of 'Buchan an's friends, when the latter, having been sent for, came in and joined the party. " young friend," said Buchaban, soon after wards, turning patronizingly to Douglas, "let me give you a little advice." Thank you!" instantly retorted Douglas, seizing him by the hand, "" I expect to choose my Constitutional advisers soon, and am most happy thus to re ceive your acceptance in advance." " Old Buck" was so confused by this turn in the conversation that he forgot the proffered ad vice altogether. STATE ENGINEER.—The Canal Commission ers have appointed Edward F. Gay, Esq.; State Engineer, to take effect from the 17th inst. This is an excellent appointment—Mr. Gay being not only an Engineer of experience and judgment, but intimately acquainted with all our public works. itsa..Both branches of Congress have taken, action on the recent outrageous assault com mitted on Senator Sumner, by Mr. Brooks, of South Carolina—and have appointed Commit tees to investigate the subject. The Senate has appointed Messrs. Cass, Al len, Dodge, Pearce-and Geyer, the committee; and the Speaker of the House, Messrs. Camp bell, of Ohio, Allison, Cobb. ol Georgia, Greenwood, and Spinner. Senator Sumner is rapidly recoVering from the effects of the beating ho received,-and will be in his seat again in a day or two. His abusive speech in the Senate is unjustifiable —hut "two wrongs never make a right.- NORTILERS CENTRAL RAILROAD.—The Sun bury American states that most of the con tractors on that portion of this road recently let, between Millersburg and Trevorton bridge, are already vigorously at work, and there is every prospect that the road to the bridge will be completed before the close of the present year. The ten remaining miles between Tre vorton and Sunbury will be put under con tract very shortly, and completed, if possible, by January next, which will at once give to Baltimore and Philadelphia the shortest, safest and most speedy rail-way rommunienti ,, n to the lakes. MCLEAN IN TUE FlELD.—Judge McLean has published a letter in the Washington Intelli !lower of Friday last, stating, in correction of some remarks of General Cass, his position, that Congress has uu power to establish but can prohibit slavery in the territories. This is equal to an admission of his candidacy for the Presidency, as a Judge of the Supreme Court would scarcely, under uther circum stances, publish his opinion on a grave con stitutional question in the shape of a letter. THE THUNDERER.—The London Times was established in 1785 by John Walter, and on his death, in 1838, inherited by his son John, at present a member of Parliament. The establishment is valued at £750,000 sterling , or $3,750,000. Its editor-in-chief receives an annual salary of £5,000; and its Paris corre spondent 50,000 francs per annum. MICHIGAN DELEGATES FOR BECHANAN.-DE TROIT, MAY 21.—Democratic State Convention to-day elected the following delegates to the Cincinnati Convention: W. F. Storey, editor of the " Free Press," Wm. Hall, F. C. Whip ple, D. J. Barry, Jno. P. Cook, D. 0. Thur ber, A. E. Campbell, Jacob Beeson, C. C. Chatfield, Geo. W. Peck, M.E. Crofutt and Ebenezer Warner. They are instructed for Buchanan. ser Woo ROAD TO CALIFORNIA.—Petit ions have been forwarded from all parts of California, signed by upwards of 80,000 peo ple, praying Congress to give an immigrant poet road from some point in the 'Valley of the Mississippi, to the Valley of the Sacramento. A Picifie railroad is something for our chil dren, but a wagon road is what we want for our own generation.

We copy it on account Of its impoitance just now, together with the remarks of the Argus thereupon, as we fild them iu the Richmond Enquirer "In 1832 the voice of the Democracy-was unanimous for the re-election of General JACK sos as President, but there was a diversity of opinion as to the Vice Presideney. Accord ingly, upon the recommendation of the Demo cratic members of the New Hampshire Legis lature, the first Democratic National Couren ilo7l was held at Baltimore on the 21st day of altay, 1832. Gen. Robert Lucas, of Ohio, presided, and the Vice Presidents were Peter V. Daniel, of Virginia : James Fenner, of Rhode Island ; John U. Barkley, of Pennsyl vania, and A. S. Clayton, of Georgia : and the Secretaries were John A. Di; of New York ; Stacy Potts, of New Jersey, and Rohr. J. Ward, of Kentucky. It was in this first National Convention that the famous two-thirds vote, which' has ex ercised such au important influence upon the fortunes of several prominent statesmen, was adopted. It was reported to the convention by the committee on rules, of which the Hon. Wm. R. King, of Alabama, elected Vice Pres ident on the ticket with President Pierce, in 1852, was chairman. A motion to amend by substituting a majority rule was voted down, and the two-thirds rule, as reported, was adopted. It reads as follows: "Resoired, That each State be entitled, in -the nomination of a candidate fur the Vice Presidency, to a number of votes equal to the number to which they will he entitled in the Electoral College under the new appoint ment, in voting for President and Vice Presi dent ; and that two-thirds of the whole ntunber of rotes in the Convention h, qi• -, , , . , 5‘yr.n to tonstitule a choice.

The acvusattou against Mr. Mathew, her Majesty', , , Consul at Philadelphia, rests entire ly main assertions made by Hertz. These as sertions are positively denied by Mr. Mathew; and her Majesty's government can scarcely ho t i o se that the government of the United Sties, with the knowledge which it will have obtained of the character of Elertz, will hesi tate to concur with the governMent of her Majesty in giving credit to Mr. Mathew. •• With respect to Mr. Barclay, her Majes ty . f. Consul at New York, he declared that he neither favored the alleged recruiting, nOr participated in it. nor was informed of the hi ring, retaining or engaging any man for that purpose. " Her Majesty's govertavnt cannot but accept the denial of tilese gentlemen as more worthy of belief than the evidence of such men as Hertz and Strobel. "But Mr. Marcy considers that the conduct of Mr. Barclay in the affair of the barque Maury ought to be an additional reason why her Majesty's government should recall him. Upon this the undersigned must observe that Mr. Barclay received information omoath from persons in the s ervice of the United States. leading to the belief that the barque Maury was fitted out with designs hostile to British interests, and at variance with the _Neutrality Laws of the United States. "It was Mr. Barclay's bounden duty to communicate that information without delay to her majesty's -Twister at Washington.— Mr. Barclay did so, and his direct action in the matter was then at an end. Mr. Crampton submitted this information to the proper au thorities of the United States, in order that they might determine what proceedings, if any, it might be right to take thereupon. The officers of the U. States considered the prima facie case agsinst.tho Maury to be sufficient to call for proceedings on their part. Such proceedings were accordingly instituted by them, and not by Mr. Barclay, whose conduct in regard to the Maury was in strict perform ance of his duty, and received the approval of Her Majesty's Government. "With regard to the last point the under-. signed must refer to the offers of satisfaction, and to the explanations already made, and to the expressions of the sincere regret of her Majesty's government, if, contrary to their intentions, and their reiterated directions, there has been any infringement of the laws of the United States. The undersigned has now had the satisfac tion of communicating to the government of the United States the statements and declara tions of Her Majesty's Minister at Washington, and of Her Majesty's Consuls at Cincinnati, Philadelphia and New York, as to the conduct imputed to them. The government of the United States had been led to suppose that the law and sovereign rights of the United States had not been respected by Her Majesty's gov ernment, and relying upon the evidence deemed to be trustworthy, they believed that that law and these rights had been infiinged by British agents. If such had been the case the government of the United States would have been entitled to demand, and Her Majes ty's government would not have hesitated to afford the most ample satisfaction, for no dis credit can attach to the frank admission and complete reparation of an unquestionable wrong. "Ifer Misjesty's Government, however, unse quivocally disclaim any intention either to in fringe the law or to disregard the policy or not to respect the sovereign rights of the Uni ted States, and the Government of the United States Rill soon for the first time learn that Her Majesty's .h inister at Washington and Her Majesty's Consul at Cincinnati, Phila delphia and New York, solemnly affirm that they have not committed any of ;the acts that have been imputed to them. "The government of the United States now, also for the first time, have an opportu nity of weighing the declarations of four gen tlemen of unimpeached honor and integrity against evidence upon which no reliance ought to be placed. The undersigned cannot but express the earnest hope of her Majesty's government that these explanations and assu rances may prove satisfactory to the govern meta of the United States, and effectually re move any apprehension which may have hith erto existed, and he cannot doubt that such result-will afford as much pleasure to the gov ernment of tho United States, as to that of her Majesty, by putting an end to the differ ence which has .been deeply regretted by her Majesty's Government; for there are no two countries which are bound by stronger ties or by higher considerations than the U. States and Great Britain, to maintain unbroken the relations of perfect cordiality and friendship. "The Undersigned, etc., Ser The New York Commercial Advertiser, a paper of commanding influence, observes that in the January number of Hunter's Med ical Specialist, it was shown by a comparison of the City Inspector's reports fur the last' three months of 1855, with the corresponding months of the two preceding years, that a diminution in the mortality from consumption he'd taken place, of very nearly twenty-five per cent. In the April number of the same publication, Dr. Robert Hunter recurs to this interesting subject, and shows from the sta tistics furnished by the City Inspector's re ports that the diminution in the number of deaths from consumption during the past quarter exceeded thirty-one per cent. Dr. Hunter remarks :—There is scarcely a town or hamlet throughout the Union from which'consumptives have not come to submit' their oases to our care. This general resort to inhalation could not be unproductive of results. If our treatment had been unsuoces ful, it must have increased the Mortality. If successful, it could not but diminish it in pro portion to that success. None who are at all acquainted with the magnitude of our practice will deny that it has been, during the past two years, sufficient to exert the Most decided in fluence on the bills of mortality, not only of this city, but also of the cities of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston. That that influence has been exerted in the marked decrease in the number of deaths is an inference from the facts, not only legitimate, but, we think, una voidable: and we claim it not on any personal ; grounds, but as the natural result of adopting a more direct, simple, and common sense treatment. More than a year ago we stated in one of our published letters, that "if every case of consumption in this city were placed under judicious treatment by inhalation, with in taco years the mortality from this disease would be diminished one-half." This predic tion is now coming to pass. CORRECT DOCTRINE.—The following is an extract of an able arti,le recently published in the Georgia Time., on the subject of the next Presidency : Mr. Buchanan is among the very few sur vivors of the compeers of those great and good men so lately removed from among us—Cal houn, Clay, Webster, Wright, S., that is of an age and position for the Presidency. We solemnly appeal to that sober judgment, that is even now beginning to settle down upon the history of our country for the last twenty years, whether the people have acted wisely in putting aside our best Statesmen, and ele vating over their heads comparatively obscure (though honest and good) men, who have had little or no experience in the mangement of great political questions, either of domestic or foreign policy. We gladly indulge the 'hope thnt the good sense, that the sound 'po litical philosophy of the day is already arous ing itself against the future pursuit of such a course. We solemnly believe that it is fraught with the greatest evils to the country in the future. An adhesion to such a policy will tend to the subversion of the morals of all men ; for as it is now being practised, upon the very fact of prominence, preeminent die• tinotion eliminates onr Statemen from the possibility of becoming President. 131PROVEMENT or OUR CITY.—The spirit of improvement ...till rifw In our good old city. !tannings are bvlng er.3eted in all quartars. ant many of thorn line gruct ores.

Ephrata. Pa. Tug Assess TROMILES.—The accounts that come from Kansas of the renewed troubles there are so exaggerated by correspondents that but little reliance can be placed therein. We have looked in vain for any detail of the re cent proceedings that did not bear upon its face the evident determination of the writer to make the facts rubservient to his feelings. Of all correspondent, those in Kansas seem to be meet thoroughly given over to lying. The only facts that seem to be unquestioned are that the whole of the pretended Free State officers have been indicted for trea son. That Governors Robinson and Reeder fled to avoid ar rest, and that the former wee seized at Lexington, Missou ri, and would be returned to Kansas, whilst, the place of concealment of the latter was unknown. A high degree of excitement existed in the territory and bloodshed was an ticipated. The United States Marshal had issued a procla mation calling out a poem of citizens to assist him.— Th is appears to us to have been a highly improper step as it will necessarily bring the partisans of the freca3oil and pro-slavery factions collision, nor do we see why it was necessary when the Marshal bad the United States troops at his command.
