The Bell and Douglas Fusion. The Democratic Convention at Syracuse yes terday completed its labors. Having thrown Tamany Hall overboard the day before, and rushed iuto the arms of Mayor WOOD, it con summated its work of self-immolation by bury ing itself iu the embraces of Messrs. HUNT and BROOKS. And yet its sacrifice is not complete enough to be magnauiraous, nor bold enough to be effective. It went just far enough to give the rump of the old American Party an excuse for abandoning their own ground, and going over, bag and baggage, to the Dem erats. And if it had not gone half so far,the result would have been precisely the same. The Convention yesterday put in nomination au electoral ticket, —giving the Americans some half-dozen members, —and adopted a resolution inviting tlie American Committee with which it has been in consultation,to take seats upon the floor. These were ail the con cessions made, —and they were ail that were needed. The fact is, the leaders of this Amer ican movemeut have been shivering for a month lest no door should be opened for their admission into the Democratic wigwam. They lost no time iu availing themselves of the crev ieo at Syracuse, and are now snugly stowed away under hatches, where they w ill probably remain until the electiou is over. We shall probably have now no Bell.and Everett Electoral ticket in this State. Those gentlemen have bgen deliberately sold out by their friends. Gov. HUNT distinctly foreshad owed this operation iu his speech at the Troy Convention, and again at Baltimore —and he has pursued it with steady constancy from the very beginning. llis main desire has been to defeat the Republicans,—not so much from any dissent from their principles at front a fervid hatred of their leading men. We presume he would hail the election of BRECKINRIDGE or LANE, to be President for the next four years with satisfaction, if it were the only way of excluding from influence the leading Repub licans of this State. It remains to be seen how large a number of the conservatives, whom he professes to re present, share his resentments and wiil follow his example. Wc do not believe their number will bo large. The fusion will give BRADY some thousands of votes which could never be cast for any party in the least allied with the old American organization. We doubt whether their loss will be made good by accessions from other quarters. — JYew York Tim Gov. REEDERON DOCGI.AS. —'The distinguish ed Pennylvanian, Gov. Reeder, is now on visit to Kan>as, where he seems to lie quite popu lar. He made a speech at Lawrence in which allusion is made to various incidents which oc curred while he was Governor of that Terri tory. And having incidentally to speak of Douglas, he gives the following, which may be regarded as ids " private opinion publicly ex pressed/' of that distinguished individual : The Governor then passed in his remarks to a consideration of national politics. Ho showed how the Republican party has grown up by a necessity, out of the aggressions of the slave power. He defended it, triumphantly agftiosft the attacks of its enemies, and showed it to be the guardian of popular rights and the defender of the Con titulion ai d the I'nion. lie told how be had been a life-long Demo crat, but he had been forced to leave that party by its foul treachery to the i glits of the people. He commente din terms <d great se verity upon the course of Mr. Douglas. He said that previous to Mr. Douglas's celebrated Kansas report, so full of all manner of slander and falsehood again.-t the people of Kansas, lie (Gov. Reeder,) being still connected with the Democratic party, had visited VY ad ington and at Mr. Douglas's request, had met him, and had several long interviews with him,aud fully posted him in regard to the actual facts of the Kansas difficulties. Other gentlemen from Kansas, acquaintances of Mr. Douglas, had done the same, so that he perfectly un derstood the true state ot the case. Under these circumstances Gov. Reeder said he look ed with great interest for Mr. Douglas's re port, anticipating that he would do justice to the Free State people. Judge, then, of his surprise, when, upon taking it up, he found it filled with the grossest assaults and slanders upon llicra, the facts of the case entirely sup pressed or misrepresented, and the whole re port a burden of fallacy and deceit. " I threw it from me in disgust." .said the Governor, " and from that day forward 1 have no confi dence whatever in the honesty or sincerity of Stephen A. Douglas." BLONDIN ON FlßE.— Narroir Psaip> Mons. Blondin the celebrated tight rope performer, met with a serious accident a few nights ago during his exhibition at Cbillieothe.Obio. The Cincinnati Gazette says: After dtifk he gave a performance of trundling a wheelbarrow across a rop<, and to make the feat more ter rific, be encircled himself in a blaze of fire works, which were ignited simultaneously with his starting. Before he had accomplished half his task, ouc of the pieces prematurely explod cd and set fire to his clothing. The peril of his situation could not be seen by the thou sands of spectators below, in consequence of the continued emissions of sparks, nnd the ad venturous Blondin had nothing to do but walk the rope and suffer the torture of being slowly roasted. Having accomplished the distance, he, by his own efforts, succeeded iu extinguish ing the flames, but not before his buck was very badly burnt. The rope was stretched across the strect.at a distance of 15 feet above the ground, a;ul none save Blondin could have withstood the pain lie must have suffered.— YVe arc inclined to the opinion that the Mons. will not attempt any more tight rope perlor ances with pyrotechnic concomitants. It is very well to hazard the surging waters of Niagara, in hand baskets, coffee sacks, Ac., but shrouded in a sheet of llaine, with a chance of burning to death, added to that ot tailing, smacks a little too much of the dangerous to be much relished even by the intrepid Blon din.

[Mr Guow will certainly Le present and Mr. HICKMAN if his health will permit.] CURTIN AND rOSTER BEFORE THE PEOPLE. Andrew G. Curtin, by word, action and pre cept., has always declared to the people, that he is in favor of the Constitution and the per petuity of the Union of the United States at all hazards. But Ilencry D. Foster has not said wheth er he is for Union or Disunion—whether for Douglas and I lie Northern Democracy, or Breckinridge and the Southern Democracy— the one for Union, and the other for Disunion. And as ho can not go for both parties, the people can not tell whether he is for the Con stitution and the union, or whether he is against the Constitution and for dissolution. : Curtin everywhere boldly affirms that he is for Lincoln aud Hamlin, and that he is oppos ed to the extension of slavery iuto the territo- ' ries of the United States that are now free. But Foster has not said who he is in favor of for President—whether for Douglas or Breckinridge—and the people can not know whether he is for the extension of freedom or slavery in the territories. Curtin opposes by all honorable means the reckless extravagance of the present Adminis tration, by which bankruptcy, suffering and ruin has beeu brought upon the country. But Foster has not told the people whether he is for Douglas and a change of policy or whether he is for Breckenridge and the con tinuation of the same ruinous administration. Curtin supports and fearlessly advocates the passage of a free Homestead law by Congress for the benefit of the American people. But Foster has not informed the peojde whether he L in favor or opposed to that im portant measure. Curtin has always been in favor of a tariff that would not only provide revenue for the support of the government, but will secure to the working men liberal wages, to agricultural remunerating prices,toincehanincs and mauulac turers an adequate reward for their skill and labor, and to the nation commercial prosperity aud independence. But Foster has heretofore been opposed to the protective policy, and even now has laid down no definite principle on the tariff ques tion he has so lately espoused, by which the people can ascertain his position—but like all other Democratic protectionists will make them known after the election. Let the people of Pennsylvania then look at the two Candidates. Andrew G. Curtin, with the bauner of his policy blazing before them, every word of which may be seen and read of all men, asks the people, with their eyes open, to vote for a policy that will both benefit and bless every citizen of Pennsylvania. Ilenry D. Foster, without a platform or prin ciple, not even daring to say whether he is for Douglas or for Breckeuridge, for Union or Disunion, for the Constitution or against it,for freedom or for slavery extension,like Polk aud Dallas ask the people to elect him to office without regard to either principle or policy. HEAVY HAIL STORM AT CORNING. —A very seveie hail storm visited Corning about four o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The rain and hail fell in torrents, almost literally, for a few minutes giving the streets the appearance of having undcrgoue a regular equinocial. The only damage done was to corn, several pieces of which were beat to the ground. It appears to have beeu part of the same storm that wrought such destruction at Watkins.— Rain fell at Elmira at the same time. Satur day night, the river rose some twelve iucbes.

We once heard a . clergyman says, "lldl is thy fouuduiioa of my } religious faith, Iter The Washington Correspondent of the JYcw York 7'imcs advances a theory relative to the alleged Abolition incendiary tires in Texas which may be worthy of attention. He be lieves it is Dot improbable that they have re sulted from the extreme drouth which prevail ed in that State. At any rale the stories cir culated are of the most exaggerated character. The statement that two thousand white Abo litionists were in Anderson County is only one specimen of the absurd fictions which have been promulgated. The total vote of the couuty last year was only 1,100, and it would not require so large a body of Abolitlouists to frighten all the slaveholders out of it. Anoth er theory of these alarms may be found in the fact that the Texans are very solicitous of in ducing the Government to send a force of U. S. troops iuto the State. Meantime reports con tinue to reach us of outrages of various kinds throughout the Slate. At one point a young man had been hung, as alleged, for giving strychnine to slaves, with which to poison the wells. At another a preacher had been hung for being an Abolitionist. Two other persons had received the same delicate attention else where. A significant commentary on all this excitement, however, may be found in the fact that the people of Henderson, although their towu has suffered severely from tire, are re ported to be unwilling to believe that any con spiracy exists. THE FUSION' I'l.or OVERTHROWN. —Tens of thousands of Democrats in Pennsylvania, and in many other quarters of the Union, will re joice to ham that the action of the Demo cratic Executive Committee, which represents the Douglas sentiment of the State, at llarns burg yesterday,effectually and completely over throws the infamous fusion plot which was concocted by the Disuniouists, and sustained by the Welsh Committee in Philadelphia on the 2d of July, and more recently at Cresson. The committee has resolved to select a pure Douglas ticket, and to oppose all schemes de signed to lure the Uuiou-loving citizens of the old Keystone into the support of BRECKINRIDGE Of the "wisdom aud justice of this policy every faithful friend of the nominees of the Demo cratic National Convention, and every honest supporter of the principle of Popular tjovere guty, is lirmly convinced. 231223, On Thursday.

Consumption, that enemy of human life, which has of late ha'd so many victims, had marked her for his prey. Possessed of an amiubie disposition, and a considerate habit of mind, none knew her but to love. These native virtues were adorned and sanctified by the graces ol an humble faith in Christ. Site made a public profession of that faith, some ten years since, in uniting with the Presbyterian Church of Monroeton, which profession she lived to adorn. Her afflicted friends have this consolation in sorrow, that what is their loss, is her unspeakable gain. " Blessed arc the dead that die in the Lord I" Tii the rnemoni of Fidelia Elmore Owen. Tin .VIJ 11. Emory. She left her kind friends, to visit us here, We thought uot the death angel hovered so dear, So strange are the ways of our Father on high, She came but to. teach us how a christian cuu die. To us she was sent, as a light from above, Wiuing our hearts, by her patience and love ; She taught us the power of Jesus to save. His power to redeem, from sin, death, and the grave. Though her spirit fluttered to be away, Imprisoned still, in its house of clay ; She asked for patience, his time to wait, Till he should open the golden gate. She seemed in our midst like angel of light, She smilingly spoke of her home so bright, And though other hearts with grief were riven, Her pure soul longed for its flight to heaven. Kind friends were watching the sufferer dear, Eager each parting word to hear ; Oh weep uot, she murmured, weep not for me, Dear trieu<ls 1 am longing my Savior to see. I fear not the grave, its terrors are o'er, My Savior has passed through its portals before ; Kind friends I have tarried with you but a night, But we'll meet, never to part, in yon heaven so bright. We think of Fidelia, hut we shed not a tear, We witnessed her suffering, her pain so severe, So calmly she bore them, though she longed to be gone To see her Redeemer, aud the heavenly throng.
