JOHN HOWE, 'Franklin.
The Opposition have become r com
pletely wedded to the one • idea of warring
against the Democratic party, that we may
expect , them; jointure, to oppose us on all
questions which may arise. - This policy is a
goixi,?ne for us. We will base the privi
lege of taking our choice of sides, and of
forcing-out foes to take * the opposite, when,
ofcourseiwe have the advantage,not of only m
ooting the right aide for 'ourselves, but of
forcing them to take the wrong side. This
gibes us, as a party, certain and.permaient
success; but we must not lose sight of the
fact that our opponents rely more upon falsi
fying out position, and misrepresenting our
acts, than upon any claims they may. have
upon the public confidence for their own
pvinciples. In the question of expatriation
and naturalization, we haie a prominent ex
hibition of the warfsire they wage.
When the Cass-Le Clerc letter appeared, our
foes blundered into the ridiculous idea that
it. as an official exposition-JA the views of
the Administration, when, in fact, it was, as,
it plainly showed upon its face, nothing but
a statement of what was believed to be the
French view of the question. Thereupon
our opponents, true to their habit.of opposi
tion, began if staunch advitcartY of the tights
Of foreign citizens, bitterly reviling our party
for what they' affected' to' believe was a de
sertion of the long : cherished Democratic
view of ouch Matters: Meantime the admin-
istrition bad been engaged preparing an ex
position-of heir views on , the subject, as op
poised to the French doctrine, and gave it
publicity ie .- a few days, bet just late enough'
to permit the opposition to - trap themselves;
beyond all hope of escape. For a time our
foei attempted to bully us out of our views,
but finally, as they were fighting - against
hope, gave up the contest, and of course fall
back upon their antiquated' and exploded
ideas of nativism. In their mad zeal for
opposition, they seemed to forget that they
had been busily contesting the rights of nat
uraliied citizens tor years, and bad but re
centlz voted them inferior to negtoes, in one
State, and contemplated the same act in
others.` Such is tile party opposed to the
Democracy.. Possessed of neither principles,
consistency, or integrity; it seeks place and
po%!er by, unfairness and trickery. The Mont
s
. rose . Republican denounces . Gen. Cass and
the- Democratic party for having advocated
the doctrine of " once:a subject always a sub
ject;" and elthougb we corrected the erroneous
statement, the editor refines to either. ac ,

iar Several city papers published a tel
egram, dated Reading, August 23d, stating
that the Democratic county convention bad
selected delegates .to the State Convention
instructed to vote for Douglas delegates to
the Charleston - convention. The despatch
cannot be true, as the Democratic convention
was not. held until Auguit 29th--a week
I Ater—born. which we have,as yet, no report.
Wegukrantee that those "Douglas delegates"
'ill never piesent themselves, -mach lOss be
- admitted to any . .Pentocratie State conven
tion. The • opposition. convention of Barks
county was to bare been held on the . 211,,.
and this account for the false telegram.
—Later reports conftem our version of the
above. The Opposition, made up of Repub

Mons. De Lave at the. Rochester
Of theloefrormance of Monet. De Lave, on
Tuesday, et the Rochester Falls, in the pres
ence of a crowd of not less than 20,000, the
Union 'Says :—Tbe rope -this :time wasin per
haps be c tter condition than on the occasion of
the-fuSt walk—being dry but elthougb sev
eral guys - had been added, they were iwper
- fectly,tightened and permitted a great deal
of sway. At about four o'clock M. De Lave
appeared at the Falls Field end of the rope,
attired as before, except that upon his - back
hung the "garters," about three feet in length,
used by rope perormers in their exhibitions.
Without any delay be seized hii balancing
pole and rapidly walked oueupon his peril
ens journey. Arriving about midwayon the
-rope tie dropped to a sitting posture, and there
gave the most daring and thrilling perfor
mance ever witnessed an the rope, or rather
under it. He first stretched himself in all the
reclining positions possible. Then taking the
garters from his back, he fattened one end of
each to the rope, and the other ends about
his ankles; dropping clean head foremost,
swinging his hody aid arms, be thus Ming for
%severe! seconds, Xis feet three feet from the
rope above, with the frightful abyss and cate
red yawning at@ roaring beneath and beside,
him. Regainink the rope with sit-like 'am
bience' the garters were changed and he hung
suspended by one leg:and arm, and • by- • one
-leg alone. After going through - various air
er !minor Teats he let himself down with •the
garters about his wrists, and thus hung sus
pended beneath the rope until many feared
he bad not Ruffleint strength , to regain his
position: He was however op in a jiffy, and
after sitting a brief period jumped to the rope
and-proceeded to the west aide amid vocifer
- oars diorite .of applauie from the adrairing
throng:. •
After the lapse of some fifteen minutes - be
. - appeared on- the west side for the retain trip.
• Walking out to about the centre, he stopped
to make good the promise to stand upon his
head. - This be did twice, facing east and
west, and then without pole or any support or
balance, stood erect upon his feet. Turning
two or three somersaults around the rope, be
returned to Falls - Fields, tramping-the - rope
in such ararelt and rollicking style as to
-convince all thAt he was perfectly at. home:
He was . sgaip g reeted with raptateawspplaan
and - retre4. , • •

While he was crossing on the rope, the car
riage containing the stove and fixtures was
driven round by Suipension' Bridge to the
other end of the rope. This stove was of Rus
sian iron, the same material of the best stove
pipts are made of.. It was got up' by Mr.
Fusett of the Falls, and weighed with fLx
tures 56 pound* It was two feet six inches
long, eighteen inches wide and about twenty
inches high. It had one length of ordinary
stove pipe—with two open doors and a hole
in the - top of it.' Ile fixtures consisted of
three tin plates, one tit dish with three chains
fastened to it. This was tO be used in past :
log down the omelets.. There was also a
small hand_ bellows and a large spirit lanp.
Two pieces of wood about ten feet in length
were pissed through: the feet of the stove,
whidh wzre to be used to support it upon the
rope and guys. Two 'either straps were fas
tened on either end of Mb stove intended to
bold- it upon BlOndin's back.
About five minutes past 6 o'clock M. Blau
din appeared upon the Canada end of the
rope. He was dressed as a French cook, and
wore the clothing of the chief cook at the In
ternational Hotel: This consisted of a white
cap, white jacket and apron. Soon after ap
pealing at the other end of the rope, be fast
ened the stove to his back, and with ' bis bal
ancing pole , started fur the American side.
Ile walked along quite smartly until he 'had
crossed the centre of the rope, when he paus
ed and laid down his balancing pole. He , next
sat do*ti upon-Abe rope and. unfastened the
stove. He now rose to his feet, and having
fastened the stove to the main rope by .means
of cords, got over the stove tO the other side
and. iat down, facifig the American shore.
The wind was blowing Very fresh, and he bad
great difficulty . in lighting the lamp, the
matches seeming to go out. In a second or
two *dense smoke was seen to issue from the
stovelipe; and deafening yells arose on both
sides of the river.: He commenced to prepare
the omelet. Having put flour and water in
to a pan, he stirred it up and • set the pan
"down. Ile next broke a couple of eggs and
beat them, and, poured them into a pan with
the flour and water, and added !be seasoning.
The blaze could now be dis inctly seen issuing
from the top of the stove. In a minute or
two the omelet was baked, and he threw it
up, turned it, and caught it in'the pan again.
Two omelets were baked and the 'signal
given to the steamer Maid-orthe-Mist, which
vas stationed a Short distance above to come
down. The steamer was crowded from stem
to stern. The pan containing the omelets
wae-let down by means of a string, but the
current was so swift that thli boat was car
ried down the stream several hundred yards.
She bad great difficulty in ascending against
the current and was compelled to come in to-
wards the American shore, and when she hid
got a good headway on, started for the pan,
and the passeogers on board of her made a
grand rush and secured, the contents. The
scramble as seen from tfie bank above, was
ludicrous. One would grab a small piece of
the omelet, and for fear some one else would
get it, would swallow it. Another would ob
tain a small portion and rdn off to the stern
of the boat to exhibit it, and on the way
would get tripped op and lose it. Others who
were fortunate enough to secure pieces of it,
did Chem up carefully in their handkerchief
for future exhibition.
M. Blondin having fed the hungry crowd
on the steamer, put out the lamp, packed up
his kit and having stepped over the stove, sat
down on the rope and fastened it to his shoul
der. He evidently had hald'work to reg ain
his feet with the stove'on bisX>aelc and bal
ancing pole in his hands. He made several
attem .ts to et u ancYfiniill . • suceee

m
utes in the passage. On reselling the shore
be was greeted with immense cheers.
His next exhibition will take place on Wed
nesday next At 8 o'clock in the evening, when
he will cross and-re-cross the chasm of Niag
ara Rivei, on his rape, surrounded by Bengal
Fires. This will.beibe grandest and moat
-effective performance ever witnessed in this
country! The grounds on both sides of the
river will be illuminated with locomotive
lamps,loaned by the Central and Great West

The A l tai:an have Trade.
Tito Administration has bestowed upon
the subject ofti.be African slave trade its ear
nest attentiois and, with a view of suppres
sing as` far a*, pos.eble this traffic, bas initi
ated measure moreefficient- and extensive
than 'ever beire, for that purpose.
The,squadron for the coast of Africa as at*
ranged by the Secretary of the Navy, will
nowise of the following named vessels: The
steamers Mystic, Sumpter, San Jacinto, and
Mochican, and the sloop-of-war 'Constellation,
(the . flag-ship,) Portsmouth, Marion, and
Vincennes. The • most efficient officers are
assigned to their command. Those of the
steamers Mystic and Sumpter, are,
lively: Lieut, W. E. Le Roy and Lieut. J. F.
Armstrong. These gentlemen were, at their
own request, ordered to this service. Their
vessels being of light draft, 'can penetrate
waters too shallow for'those which have hit&
to been on that coast, besides having the ad
vantage. of steam. Hence, slavers will be
more closely pursued.'
The joint treaty with England requires that
the United States shill keep on the coast of
Africa a force of eighty guns, but by the re.
cent arian,, ,, ement on the-part of the Admin
istration, the number of our guns will be one
hundred and sixteiii!!
Mr. Birney, who succeeds Mr. Morse as
Naval Storekeeper, went oat in the Coastal
listion, with instructions to remove the Naval
Depot for the, African Squadron from Porto
Prays to San Paul de Loando, whiCh is three
hundred and thirty-six miles distant from
Porto Praya. This new depot will conse
quently be much . nearer the principal points of
traffic on_the coast, and will, in a great meas
ure, obviSte the necessity of long cruises.
On our owa- coast, too, there is to be an
efficient naval force,,compsed of the steam-,
ers Clusader, Lieut. Craven; the Wyandotte,
Lie'ut,Stanley ; and the Fulton, Commander
G. G. Williamson. They are to cruise in the
neighborhood of^ Cuba, for the purpose of
capturing any slavers which 'may, by their
expertnesi, escaps the vigilance of our naval
force on- the African coast. _
These anangements will soon go into
operation, and the 'Secretary of the Navy is
now hurrying the preparation of such vessels
as are yet in port,, for this important service.

' NEW JERSEY.
A N old estate consisting of several thousands
of acres of pfoductive soil has been ditided
into Farms of various iiaes to suit the purchaser.
A populatiob of some Fifteen Hundred, from va
rious parts of the middle States and New Eng
land have settleti, there the - past year, improved
their places, and raised crops. The price of land
is at the low sum a from $l5 to $2O per acre,
the soil is of the best quality for the production
of. Wheat. Corn, Peaches, Grapes and Vegeta-
ITIS CONSIDERED THE 'BEST
FRUIT SOIL IN THE UNION. , The place is
perfectly - secure i from frosts—the destructive
enemy of the farmer. Crops-of grain, grass and
fruit are now growing and can be seen. By ex
aming the place itself, a correct judgement can
be formed of the- productivenese of the land.
The terms ire made easy to secure the rapid im
provement of the land, which is only sold ior
actual improrement. The result has been, that
Within the mist year, some three hundred houses
liiive been erected, two mills, one steam, four
stores, some forty vinyar,ds and peach orchards,
planted, and -a large nutnber of other improve
ments, making it a desirable and active place of
business.
THE MARKET,
as the reader may-perceive from its location, is the
BEST IN THE UNION.
Produce . bringing double the price than in lo
cations silty from the city, and more than doa
ble the price than the West. It is known that
the earliest and beat frith and' vegetables in this
latitude come from New. Jersey, and are annual
ly exported to the extent of-millions.
In locating here. the settler has many advan
tages., He is within a few hours' ride of the
great cities of New England and Middle States,
he is near his old friends and associations, he is
in a settled country where every improvement of
comfort and civilization is st hand. He can buy
every article , he wants at thecfienpest price, and
sell his produce for the highest, (in the West
this is retersed,) he has schools for his children,
divine service, and will enjoy an open winter,
and delightfiel climate, where fevers are utterly
unknown. The result.ef the change upon those
from the north, has generally been, to restore
them to en excellent state of health.
In the way of building and Improving, lumber
can be obtained at the mills at the rate of $lO
_to $l6 per thousand. Bricks from the brick
yard opened in the place, every article can be
procured in the place, good carpenters are at
hand, and therekis no place in the Union where
buildings and improvements can be - made
cheaper.
The reader will at once be struck with the
advantages here presented, and ask himself why
the property has not been taken up before. The
reason ts, - it was never thrown in the market;
and unless these aatementi were correct, no
one would be Invited to examine the land be
fore purchasing. This all are expected to do.
They will see land under cullivation, such is
the extent of the settlement that they will no
dotibt, meet persons from their own neighbor
hood; they will witness the improvement and
can judge the character of the population. If
they come with a view to settle they should
come prepared to stay a day or two and be ready
to purchase, as locations cannot be held on re
