A few Words about David Wilmot. Truth socking Democrats 1 we have a few words to say to you about this man. Will you it down and listen ? DAVID WII.MOT is presented by a great party us a candidate for Governor. Who is he?— What was he ?—where does he stand at this time ? These are all pertiuent questions, und while we answer them we respectfully so licit your attention. For wc tell you that the facts we are about enumerate form a part not only of our National History, but that they are identified with, and have beet) sanctioned by the Democratic party of this State and of the country. We challenge denial. Then who is DAVID W uvfor, and what has > been his position ? He entered public life, not only in the en joyment of ihc enthusiastic confidence of his t immediate constituency, Imt with an eminent position, already attained by his talents ami eloquence, high in the ranks of our party, good Democrats! Your press all over the State was loud in its laudations of this man ; —it awa ded him the ability—the popular qualities, and the standing, not only to main tain his proud position, but it began to re gard him as the leader of wr party. And lie merited the praise. The title was due him, because he proved himself a true man He demonstrated to the word that he regard ed politics as something more than the greedy grasping after the spoils, and adopting the doetriues of Republican truth and human liber ty as the fundamental basis of action, he aqua red his conduct accordingly. It was in obedience to this great cardinal rule, that when new territory was about to be acquired by Mexi co. He— DAVID Wir.vor—introduced into Con gress his much talked of Prorito, that as an in separable condition of that acquisition, the newly acquired territory should forever remain free from the blifhtingeurseof human Slavery. Not at all did he intermeddle with the exist ing institutions of the States, but he was un willing as a man and a citizen of a Free State, to be in any manner accessory to the exten sion that would exrludt Ihe labor of Fret Whit* Men frosi those largo and fertile regions. And his course, loyal Democrats ! was in accord- ' nncc with the practice laid down and adopted by the "fathers" of your party. It was but the reproduction of the very same principle which THOMAS JEFFF.RSOV —a man whose mem ory you profess to cherish—iu the Congress of the Confederation proposed to apply to all the territories, and which was actually embodied in the ordinance of 1757. for the government of the Territory Northwest of the Ohio river, and received the recognition of the Constitu tion who, foundation wascotcmporary with the enactments of the ordinance, and the ratifica tion and approval of tle First Congress which assembled under it. Aye. and so clearly and unmistakably was this " rising young Demo crat V proposition in accordance with the prin ciples and usages of the Democratic party, that it passed the House of Representatives, and received the votes of nearly erery r>.-wo era.'u member from this State. The Whig members voted for it of course, because it was a question upon which the two great parties of the country were united Aud it would have passed the Senate, had the vote been taken before the hour of final adjournment. No in telligent men denio* this. Ito fore the next Congress a fierce and terri ble denunciation against the Proviso loomed up from the South, and spread all over the Northern iand. Intimidated by their "Sontb ern masters." your presses one by one, ami numerous of the acting leading men among you that had so lavishly eulogised the man a.. 1 defended his Proviso, "wheeled a somer set." These promised him place and advance meat if he would but go with them : they threatened him with the penalty of excommu nication is uc did not.

The Legislature of his State, demexratic as ii v is, gave the stamp of its approl*ation to his heroic endeavors iu th? ennseof human liberty and free .- kite labor, and yonr own PIGT.FR —yet uocoimpted by the wiles of selfish politicians—placed himself at the head of the movement ''made to back \V JI.MOT up in his proud enterprise " Such then is DAVIT W::JI T. and such has been his position freely aid completely endors ed by your party honest Democrats ! in this State.

FRIGHTFUL SUICIDE OF A YOUNG WOMAN.— A frightful suicide was committed between 7 and 8 o'clock this morning; on the German town Railroad, above its junction with Rroad street. The train which left Chestnut Hill at fifteen minutes past seven o'clock was passing along near the spot described, when a female apparently about nineteen years of age, was observed walking upon the track towards the city, a short of the train. The engineer blew his whistle, but the girl, instead of getting out of the road, kept on her way, merely turing round and looking at the ap preaching engine. Wheu too late to stop the traiu. and when the engine was within a short distance of her. she covered her eyes with her hands and threw herself across the rail. The train came thundering on. passing over her body, tearing every >hr.d of clothing from it and severing th trunk almo-t in two. The ! a-k }>ort of her head was also torn off. The train was stopped as >oon a* possible and the re niains of the decease! w- gathered together by the roadside. The girl had been rather meanly clad, but her hands were soft and del icate as though uuused to toil. Those who saw the body describe her as vtrv beautiful.— She had black hair and long dark eye-lashes. The girl was unknown ; it was said she was seen alnmt the spot where she destroyed her self for some time before the event, and ap peared to lv on the look out for a passing train.— Philadelphia.

MOTT. were in progress, to prevent the Sale of the Main Line, the public were anxious to learn icho was going to pay the fee cf the "em inent counsel"' the said MOTT hal employed in the case. Surely said they, the Treasury of the State will not !>e plundered to furnish the money. But the following, clipped from the Philadelphia Timts, astounds us with the as sertion that the State was made to bear the burthen after all. Let the hard workiug tai payer< draw their own conclusions : "We are informed rrliibiv that, within thr.ee weeks, claims have been presented to the State Treasury from two of the counsel MrtsrntTH and BCCKAI-KW — for Sr vices renuei eii in the suits referred to. The biil of the former was SIOO0 —of the latter $"oO. When the claims were firs; presented, the Auditor (jenerai—JACOß FRY—declined paying them, njion the ground that no appropriation had leen made for that purpose, and that payment of them won id be a violation of his duty.— He maintained his position for some days Subsequently he was induced to abandon it and itii' tr t*f dniM. The State treasurer. HENRY S. MAORAW. promptly paid it. ou the 2oth of July. The counsel referred to were not employed bv the Commonwealth. The suits iu question were not authorised to be bromrht by the Commonwealth.

DELEGATE ELECTIONS. We bold it to be the duty of every good Re publican to attend the Delegate meetings, and participate therein, that the wishes of the peo ple may be manifested, and carried out in the County Convention. We urge npon every Re publican to turn out ou the oth proximo, and have a voice in electing the mea who are to constitute the nominating Convention. It is no reason why you should not do so. that you feel no preference between the candidates named for the different offices. Ifyouare uot biassed by personal preferences, you are in th£ letter condition to act judiciously aud careful fu'.ly, aud more likely to consult the welfare of the Republican party. A full attendance at the primary meetings will prevent anything like fraud in selecting delegates and will cusure a cheerful support of the ticket when nominated. We trust there is no Republican who is not ready to bow to the expressed will of the majority when fairly ascertained, and if the people all participate in the primary movements, there can be no caviling or questioning as to the wishes of the majority. We would urge upon onr Republican friends the importance of cultivating and manifesting a conciliatory spirit. Let the motto bo— "S\vtking for vien, Ertrvthm? for I fit c/iu*£~ Our large majority makes a nomination impor tant—multiplies candidates and inereAses their exertions. If candidates allow themselves to think that the success of the party depcuds U|oii tktir nomination, it is no reason why the people should sympathize with them—if tktv get excited, or embittered, it is no reason why the people shonld become equally infatuated, because the success of a defeat of no man's aspirations, is of great importance, per jr.— We trust the people will go to the Delegate elections, not to become the partizan of this or that man. not to forward selfish schemes, or personal euds, but coolly, carefuiiy and con scientiously to take such action as they may think best for the welfare of the great Re publican party. Of course a wide diversity of opinion will exi>t in regard to the candidates presented for the conddemtion of the people What we would particularly urge upon onr Republican friends is propriety of advocating the "claims" of their favorites in such a marner as to leave n-i trace of feeling after the selections are made. We sbouid remember that we are all members of one great party, advocat the same principles, enrolled under ore i . <:r. and while we may honestly differ in oar per s-nal preferences, we should do so in no un kind or bitter spirit. Let us treat every Re publican as a brother in the good cause—and those candidates we do a ot support, with re spect and generosity. So that when the ques tion is settled, we sha'l be ready, cordially and earnestly to support the WHOLE TICKET. are informed that the Junction Ca nal wtli be repa red about the first of Septem ber. aod that if no uuforseen accident occurs, will be ready for boats by the 10th of that month. Much of the season is already lost, but the balance we fcsTe co doubt, will be well employed. CvntAios PAOTIES. — S. F. \V*ASHNR*N, — mine host " of the Wasbborti Hoose.

They sell awful poor whiskey, aud sour ale for lager beer. Just now, the Waverly world is all agog with a tremeudous discussion of immense pub lic importance. A Waverly-villian is perfect ly astounded that the world should be intent upon gain—that people should pursue their usual avocations—that polities should engage anybody's attention, or the success of the at tempt to unite two continents by the telegraph be watched, which the W r nrerly Advocate and the Cashier of the Waverly Bank are at log gerheads, and firing at each other " paper pellets." The awe-struck peoples should look on in consternation at this iiuportaut conflict, threat ening the stability of nations arid the destiuies of kingdoms. The Adrocalt deals death and defiance, and the Cashier has made arrange ments to be npon an equal footiug, by estab lishing a " democratic " organ at Waverly— lie being that next remove from a " National Democrat " a Fillmore Know-Xothiog. Ru mor says that the defunct Times establishment here, is to lie taken to Waverly, to aid iu this controversy and vindicate the freedom of the press.

The excitement was heightened by the news which afterwards reached the city, that sever al of Dupont's mills had exploded, killing sev eral persons and severely wounding others. A number of physicians and others immedi ately hastened towards the scene of the disas ter, and several physicians in Philadelphia were also telegraphed for. The first reports which came from the scene of the explosion set forth that four mills had exploded killing thirteen persons, and badly in juring several others, among whom were Mr. lexis Dupont. These accounts, it is since lielieved were ex aggerated, and the most reliable information, 1 can obtain is to the effect that the explosion took place in the drying mill, blowing the build ing to atoms, and sending its fragments to an immense distance. Six persons were killed outright, their bodies being horribly mangled. Among the wonnded was Mr. Alexis Du |>ont, who had a leg broken, and who also sus tained severe internal injuries. His relative Dr. Francis G. Smith, Jr. of Philadelphia was telegraphed for to attend birn and he is expect ed down by the 11 o'clock train to night. In the confusion which exists, it is impossi ble to learn the origin of the disaster, or the names of those who have fallen victims to it. The event is almost the sole topic of conver sation at Wilmington to-night, and information from the sceue of explosion is eagerly sought for. Mr. Alexis Dupont had the general charge and supervision .f the mills and on the occa sion of previous similar disasters be has dis tinguished himself by his cool courage and dar ing, as well as by his humanity, and he is uni versally beloved and esteemed. The most live ly enterest exists as to the extent of his inju ries, and the probabilities of his recovery are discussed with much evident concern as to the result.

It then struck hiru that the ground where the house stoxl would be au admirable loca tion for the circus, whereupon he built a fire on the floor, and it was soon in flames—from which he narrowly escaped by jumping from a window, cutting his arms and hands .n get ting oat—and leaving a broadcloth coat which the heat induced him to throw off, a prey to the flames. Considering the Ix-es appropriate performers in his new circus, he upsat several hives, and undertook to put sleigh bells on the insects, in which " performance" be was badly stung.
