Jecxsori, during the whole eight years of his Presidency, had one or other hriitich of Congress arrayed against him, turd sometimes both. The same was trup_of Mr. VAN BUREN. In,lBlo, with the aiMehard cider, coon-skins and song Singisoaeri. HARRISON was elected hien °yap/Wining majority; yet in the sec ond yeak.orthat administration, the elections all went the other way, and its pet party measures were all-defeated except the Bank rupt Law, and that only lived a few months. Gen. TAYLOR was also elected by a large ma- jority. The second year of his administration witnessed a revolution in politics which would have left his successor, the Vice President, without a party, but for his sagacity, in adapt ing his political principles to suit the exigen cies of the times. Mr. FILLILDRE,,by taking a conservative position, anti' advocating the Constitutional rights of the South, sustained himself and saved what was left of his admin istration from utter annihilation. Then take the administration of Mr. PoLE—One 'of the moist popular we ever had—against which less could be urged than most others ; yet, in the second year of his administration, in 1846, he received quite as pointed a " rebuke," so far Its ihe elections wept, as the present Admin istration has in the estimation of the Opposi tion. But let us look at a more recent illus tration. No man was ever elected President, when there was a strong party contest, by such a crushing, overwhelming majority as Gen. PIERCE ; yet the elections which took placathe second year of his .ailminist,r)iti;4'iU 1854, were p3uoh more disastrous than those which have,reeently been held. He was " rebuked" upon the very same question which the Opp() sition now falsely claim to have tested for the first time, and vihieb they assert entered into the late canvass—the Kansas question. The truth is, Mr. Bull/ix/or has not been "rebuked" for his Kansas policy. It was the universal pressure of the times, more than any thing else, which brim& about the recent revulsion in 'politics, atd which was unjustly attributed to the Administration. It Mr. Bu- CHANAN has been "rebuked," so was TEI.,3IAS JEFFERSON, SO was Gen. JACKSON, Gen. -HAR RISON, Mr. POLIL,GCLI. TAYLOR, Mr. FILL3IoRE, and" Gen. PIERCE ;'so h:sve i beeri-nearly all the Prasi4nts we" 'lt dvcchad in the last sixty years. The elections the second year of their several administrations all terminated in precisely the same way (unless even more disastrously) that the late election has done in Pennsylva nia and other States of the Union.- This is a matter of history, and yet the Democratic party lived and grew stronger under all those reverses—and it will do so under the present. The 'corrupt hangers-on will -drop off-; the dead weights upon our glorious old party will be thrown aside. Like Antmus, our every fall to the earth only increases our strength and renovates our vitality. .TH•E LANCASTER EXAMINER This paper changed hands on Wednesday last—the issue of that morning containing sir. DARLINGTON ' S valedictory. The establishment is now in the hands of Messrs. ,lI.EisTANn, HUBER and LlEcßar, whose salutatory, we suppose, will appear to morrow. We part with Mr. DARLINGTON from the corps editorial with regret. lie is a writer of decided ability, and withal courteous and kind as a political opponent. He is what may be termed an old . line .National Whig, and therefore can have no sympathy with the prOs ent leaders who have completely abolitionized Lancaster county, nor do we believe he could conscientiously act with them. This, together with somewhat damaged health, has doubtless been the cause of his withdrawal. We wish him every comfort and prosperity in his retira cy, and at the .same time extpn4 a friendly editorial greeting . _to Jeu r ccessors. THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH This " wonder of the age" continues dumb. All efforts to get it to talk have proved to he fruitless—and it is now generally regarded as a failure, at least for the present. Could not some of our northern people get up another foolish celebration? Perhaps that would unloose its tongue. But, notwithstanding the failure of the present cable, so far, to transmit messages, we think the practicability of telegraphic communication between Europe and America bae,been esta.blished•bv the experiment, and this alone is a great disdovery. Eventually we believe, either the present wire or another better will be made to talk across the Atlantic. Eli= The pugilistic contest which came off last week, in Canada, between the two bullies, MORRISSEY and HEENAN, resulted in the vie tory of the former, after eleven rounds, occu pyinz about 22 minutes. From the details published, it would appear that both combat ants were badly used up, nd had to be carried from the ground on beds. Such brutal exhihi tions are a disgrace to the age in whirl) we live. • EC= The Doylestown Democrat says the Lancas ter Intelligencer has been sold to ejf;IIN A. IlnisTaxn, Esq. We rather guess not! On the contrary, we are inclined to)believe our cotemporary is slightly mistaken in this news item. THE AUSTRIAN MISSION The President has appointed Hon. J. GLANCY JoNes, of Reading, Minister to the Court of of Vierina. Mr. J. has accepted the appoint ment, and we presume will shortly leave for Europe. Mr. JACKSON is the present Minister, whd, we suppose, has been, or soon will be, recalled. APPOINTMENT BY THE GOVERNOR.—Hon. GAYLORD CHURCH, of Crawford county, to be one !of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in the room of Hon. WILLIAM A. PORTER, resigned. Onto.—The Democrats of Ohio have elected six members of Congress. They have done much better than we did in Pennsylvania.— Amongst the members elect, is Hon. WILLIAM ALLEN, formerly II: S. Senator, and one of the ablest men in that State. NITED STATES SENATOR FROM TEXAS.-011 27th of September Governor Runnels arded - to Hon. Matt.

There may be some losses in New York, Connecticut, Minnesota, Illinois and New Jersey ; but where any thing is lost in tlsise States, we shall probably make it up, or nearly so, in gains from the Americans in the South. At all events, we think it reasona ble to calculate that the Republicans will he in a minority, as it would require a gain offifteen members more on their part to give them a majority over the Democrats and Americans combined. The Americans may possibly hold the balance of power in the next Congress. THE PARAGUAY EXPEDITION, • A correspondent of the New York Joitrnal of Commerce, who appears to understind the subject, thus details the difficulties to be encountered by the U. S. forces in carrying out the views df our government by the intended expedition to Paraguay : Much has been written lately in regard to a naval expedition which is shortly to leave our shores for the purpose of enforcing the demands of the United States against the Republic of Paraguay. One would suppose, from the articles published in the newspapers, that this Paraguay expedition was to be a sort of a holiday excursion, and that all this Musquito fleet•had to do was to steam up the river to the capital of Paraguay, and batter down a fort or two. Now, it is 119 well to state what this expedition will really have to encounter, in case Lopez refuses to accede to the demands which will be made by the United States through Judge Bowlin. So tar from President Lopez having the most remote idea of acceding to these demands, it is thought by those who ought to know that Judge Bowlin will not he allowed to enter Paraguay territory, but will be received at the extreme southern limits of the Republic, and sent back from whence he came. There is little probability that Lopez will permit a steamer to ascend the river, and thereby give those tin.biard an opportunity to view his means of:dere - nice; and even should tie he ever so willing, it is not likely that he will remove the obstructions which will he placed in the river before•Jedge B's arrival. The river will be extensively boomed and ehained. Extensive earth works are being constructed, it is well known, along hod; banks of the river, 94, before reaching Assumption the fleet (wrfrising them able to remove the obstruction°§Whe river and die mantle the earth work Initteries) will have to silence a fort-t - or„,rectoubt mounting forty heavy guns rit'qi4froliching this redoubt the fleet of steamers will receive a raking fire for the distance of half a mile. 'This redoubt is placed on an elevation about sixty feet above the level Of the Suppov,then, the possibili of passing the above re'iThubt, the Mosquito fleet hirslmnthing more to do but reduce a fort a short distance south of Assump Hon, that mounts sixty four guns, 42 pounders. This fort is is also on an elevated ground, being one hundred feet above the level of . the river. Opposite this fort there are two than nels, one along either enbankment, there being a shoal in the middle of the river, and the American vessels being in the channel on the opposite side to the fort, will not be able, through the narrowness of the river, to bring their guns to bear, as too great an elevation will he required. 'That our readers may be aware ,of the magnitude of the expedition now about to leave our shores on an apparently hostile mission, we subjoin a list of the vessels com posing the Paraguay fleet, with their offiiters number of nien, • and metal : . .

Among the Democratic Congressional nomi• nations in the State of New York, " eminently fit to he made," is that of AxsoN Hutaics, E-q., Editor of The New York Atlas. He resides in the Eighth District, which comprises sevOral wards of New York City, now inis ten : resented ,by Mr. HortacE F. CLARK. Alderman H. has long been known as the warm and steadfast friend of President BUCHANAN, and has for many years battled fur the elevation of that gentleman to hispresent Lofty position. He is a writer of splendid abilities, and the great City of New York will honor herself by having him as one of her representatives in the National Connie's. We sincerely hope to be able to chronicle his Mectiun. NEWSPAPEH. CONS ,LiDATION.-E. B. Moore, Esq., publisher of the Montgomery Watchman, has sold his establishment to Dr. E. L. Acker, of the Norristown Register, and the two papers have been united. The Watchman has been published for nearly eight years, and was a well edited sheet. We shall miss it not a little from our customary pile of exchanges. Mr. Moore retires from editorial life, to the less laborious and more remunerative duties of the office to which his Democratic friends in Montgomery county elected him last fall. COUNTERFEITERS ARRESTED Two men have been arrested in New York for counterfeiting bills of the Ogdensburg, N. Y. Bank, and concealed in a closet on their premises were found $ll,OOO of counterfeit tens, all ready to be put into market, a large quantity of bills half finished, and packages of bank note paper. There were also plates of a large number of country banks, imple ments for altering bills, a description of the bills of nearly all the banks in the United States, with fac similes of the signatures of their officers, and a good sized roll of the recent Turkish government note counterfeits.
