The following day, which wits Thursday, I turned my face homeward, my company being increased by the addition of Ssada and an extra muleteer, the object of my journey to Homo being not only to . .visit and cheer Mr. and Mrs. W. in their lonely, litr-off statical, but also to bring back Saada, r I that she might re-open he school in Tripoli. Two young men also joined us on foot, they I stipposinethat by attaching themselves to our company they would be less liable to molestation or robbery, on the road. They kept up whit us till-noon, after which we saw nothing more of them the remainder of the day. At night we Pitched our 'tent at Ain Hanimage, or - "Fountain of Thieves," the place where I encamped with Mrs. L., Mennie and`Mary, eighteen months before.

Shalt the 'of crime be published, or not f Several of our city journals have lately put forth their opinions on dna subject— some positively, defending the practice, .and publishing obscene matter at the same time ; 'others negatively—that. is, by declining such publication. The latter is a tolerably strong Manifesto at the present timeovhen the pop. ular appetite is sharp, and the' food plenty, to he served up at a profit. - The Tribune of the latb maintains that such exposures fps the ccinfession of Mrs. Sickles, which It published un the same day, " improve:* if tOy'do not "absolutely puri ty, the moral'. atmosphere." . It'd ,"utterly smuts the fashionable assumption that they are dernoimlizing." The Evening Post of the same date omits parts of the vont - v.3Am from its repdrt of the trial, as too . " disgusting to be presented to its tssaders," and on the following day dis• plays, in a cool and argumentative tone, the only ground on which the full publicition of 'criminal details can be defended. It amounts to this, that society must be Instructed as to the character and extent of the evils fostered iii its tsasotn before it can act intelligently for their cute; that such instruction saves the unwary, and warns the tented, by dem-1 onstrating the penalties that folMw, &c. The Post holds- in reserve other views; which it promises to present.

Crimea against property do not commonly develop obscene relations. A knowledge of the various tricks by which they are carried on, protects the community, and we do not see that It ought to be suppressed because some of the knavishly disposed may be thus taught to steal. The issue is with another class of !sets i connected mostly with' crimes against : the person. There is no ground for a misunderstanding of the matter. -We are not aware of a single instance In which Ob jection has been made to a full development, of all the schemes of burglary, forgery, .ar son, and-like htlinces ; though there is judg. ment, as well as taste, to be exercised on this point: A column filled with petty lar ceny details conveys a kind of information less profitable, and even less entertaining, than some other kinds which are thereby ex cluded. The fact is patent, that one of the princi pal-features on which some of our city jour have depended for a popular sale is the tepresentatiou cif low and indeeentlife in 'all 'its various phases. Reporters have ranked in order of merit according to the success with which they could illuminate a .common house, or embellish a foul scene with attract ive colors.

It is natural that our masters at Washington should grow inclignaht at the.audacity of the movement al "The State-Rights DeMocracy;" but they should beware of rushing into false hoods. Let us refer the harlequin of the Con stile:lion to the names of the State Central Committee, announced in the Press of the 18th ; composeti,as it is, not only of seine of the best men in the ;State, but of influential and weilltied betnoerats. We commend to the ttonstitutton the consideration of this list of indepemient men, taken from all parts of the State. Does this list look as if the move ment of the "State-Rights Democracy" was either a feeble or faint-hearted one? Let Brigadier Bowman looksat the material that composed the - ConVetitioh itself—at the crowds that participated in the proceedings of that great body, and remained until the final hours of its session. He will not find .among this number mercenaries and office-holders, and men who came there to sanction the de crees of despotic power, but he will find a representation of an honest public sentiment, _such as was 'never before assembled at our -State capital. The writer of this article has attended Democratie-State Conventions for nearly twenty-two years, and he has never witnessed isuch a unanimity of sentiment and of action as that which marked the proceed ings of the Harrisburg Convention on Wed nesday last. There was not,a dissentient in the whole body of delegates, coining forward soluntartly as they did, from nearly every county. Nor was this harmony purchased by concession to expediency or to fear. The most practical pleasures , were, adopted and recommended. The court fool . of the Wash ington organ labors under the disease com mon to such fools when, he imputes to his master, the King, not only infallibility, but tha control Of the Democratic organization; and when, because he worshipl that King, he expects others to how, or be forever °still cised: Of course we deny these imperilment and pompous assumptions.

IBS practices have ignored and violated all his professions, and he has become as odi ous to the masses of the people as ever John Tyler was in by-gone days. Even his offices begin to fail to tempt the mercenary, and those who accept them do so in secret, as wen do who take bribes. To cut ionic, from such an incubus is not only the prompting of an honest impitlse, but of self - preservation. We refuse to be crashed by its weight. The past is full of admonitions. Let the depend. ants of power take what course they choose, there is a cAmpact and sinewy body of Dem ocrats in this State who will contend against the proscriptions and treacheries of the Ad ministration, without ceasing, to the end.

Rrin 1836 the Democracy entered the field-with a recorded popular majority, from the State elections of 's3—'4—'s, of -upwards of three hundred thotisand against them, and under the tremendous Northern pressure of poor Pierce's Kansas agitation. But here, in Mr. Buchanan—the " favorite son of Penn sylvania," and a man whose hands were clean of any contact with .the Kansas-Nebraska bill—the right man was found for the reun ion of the party, as far as it could be reuni ted. Even Mr. Buchanan, however, would have been powerless against the opposition had they been combined; bukthey were di• vided, as in .1836 and 18,14 and 1852, upon abstractions, and principles, and leaders, and candidates. And thus it was that Mr. Bu chanan was handsomely elected, with a pop ular majority in the Union -of nearly four hundred thousand against him. ' From these refreshing examples of the past, there is still a hope for the forlorn De• mocracy in 1860. They have shown, over and over again, that they can he combined at the tap of the drum by the " cohesive power of the public plunder.' Place the spoils and plunder of the presidency before them, tell them the day of battle is at hand, that union is their only chance, and they will rush into each other's arms like a band of-brothers, and; till the battle is over, will stick to their common cause -like cobbler's. wax. They make a terrible uproar, mcantime,we admit, and keep the country in hot water upon con stitutional queitions, principles, State rights, and such things; but the great question 'of the spoils comprehends everything which a good democrat feels it to be his highest priv ilege and boliestAuty to live for', labor for, fight for, and die for. Upon this word of magic—the "spoils"— : depena Ilia successes, his hopes, and his faith in resurrection.- On the other hand, the opposition elements of the country do not so clearly comprehend the importance of the spoils, or they do not stand so much in need of the spoils as the democracy ; while they have a much strong. er belief in the saving virtues of political, principles aneabstractions. Hence the diffi culty of comhining the opposition forces, North and' South ; and thus we find them now Jurfar from any basis of common union as they were in 1550. With these general views of.the subject, we think there is stal l s living hope for the deinocriey in 1860—first;. from their reunion upon the good old party platform of the spoils and plunder ; and see. ondly; from the divisione of the opposition upon constitutional questions sad principles.

The vessel was indeed confisca ted and ordered to be sold under direct au- thority of the Federal Government but Mr. Lamar, upon the ground, protlaime'd iiiitiself the owner of the Vessel, *timed all persons against biding against him, and actually knocked down the only man who had the to merity to disregard this menace. The tele graph informs us that Mr. Lamar and others have been indicted by a Grand Jury for their breach of-the laws against the Siiive-tract; but the matter seems to be followed up ith no energy indicative of earnestness, an is very likely to have the same result as the similar proceeding in the cash of the ho.

At some time or, other, when it suits the convenience of the Government, Mr. Lamar will proba bly-lie tried for these flagrant and acknowl edged violations of the law of the [United States.

Whether this confidence is or Is not well placed we shall probably know In due course of time. One thing is very clear.

Galusha A. Clrow-of Pennsylvania, itlio was received with loud and'prolonged cheers. Mr. Grow .gave thanks for the cordial 'mariner in which theyihad- received him. He came to rejoice with them over the victories that had swept over the country; and which were the portent of a Republican triumph in , 1860. Times there were in history when Old issues ceased, and old parties passed out of existence. ' New organizations were formed, and elements which had: beenpresi ously irreconcilable came togethcr;and - men who had acted together far years were now apart. We were , now in ,the Midst of such an era. The progress of the world s and gen ius of our institutions made it inevitable that new parties should be formed, 'and that. should be free to form new relations in tics. Now a new qtlestion tunisprung upon us, and we Were to meet it.' It was the ques- tion of the extension of Slavery. From this the mind had been diverted by the existence of two political partiei, which had had well defined issues for over fifty years. After al luding to the early policy of the - Government in opposition to Slavery, Mr. Grow . referred to the present movement as a!return tor-the early policy of the. Republic.: He analyzed the resent issues dividing the parties, and paid a glowing tribute to Free Labor, .con trasting it with the involuntary labor of. the slave. The present attitude of the -Eitecu tive, the Judiciary and the Legislative branch es of the United States • Government in throwing the weight'of its influence in favor of human bondage was critically i.xamined, contrasting this and 'the expenses of the Ad ministration with their neglect of the inter ests of honest labor, Mr. Grow denceinced the corruption and want of moral vitality in the Democratic, 'party. 'He reviewed the measures of the list Congress to show;: how jealous was the Slave interest of any -Mee ' sure tending to elevate and extend Free. La hot.. Mr. Grovels speech,ocoupied over' an hour, was listened to wittrprefound attention, and was frequently applauded. , It was moved that a vote of thanks be giv en Mr. Grow for his able support of the Homestead bill.
