- "Na Party" triuments.
The Philadelphia Bulletin, in contending for the
alxdition uf all parirdistknc,tions,asks_the follow
ing iignlfiCOnt que . itions,'which.we mill.endeayor
answer:=
"Did Washington' govern by'party ? Was it not
the distinguishing'merit of his administration that
he would haie nothing to do with party'? Did
Monroe continue a partisan? Do riot men still_
look back to the halcyon days between 1816 and
whew the lines of party had melfed away,
and one common sentiment of patriOtiina, and
brotherhood-united the whole Union?" •
Those .who have even partially examined the
history of the administration of General Washing
ington, well know, that he entered upon the (iris
charge of his duties'as Presidtat, fully understand.
ing the nature of the struggle which terminated
in the form of government that we now live un
der. - He presided over that great collectiOn uf
giant intellects which had been engaged in the
'strife. He well knew that radical differences had
existed, in relation to the kind of government that
ought to be formed. He knew that the great
leader of one of the parties which divided th#
convention, hiaproposed a military government,
with hithself at its head. That another great
leader, was satisfied with nothing which would not
" give to the rich and the well-born, a principal
share in the government;" and that another—. the
noblest Romari of them all;," though he was not a
member of the 'Convention—contended for popu
lar rights, for a government of the people. The
government a;as considered only an experimer4, of
the success uf which even he was doubtful. "-Un
der such a state of circumstances, is it to be won
dered 'at, that he should have selected, to aid him
in conducting the affairs of the new government ,
the powerful minds which, had so manfully con
tended in the body which gave lt existence? Is it
a wonder that he should have frankly admitted his
reason for doing this—that, as the scheme was yet
untried, he might be better able to conduct the
operations of the government, in such a 'Manner
as would give to the country the best proofs of its!
Tirits? But, notwithstanding this, the intelligent
reader of the history of those times will find that
the spirit of party did not slumber. • He will find
that the cabinet of Washington was not a unit.
He will find that great measures were carried, or
defeated, in those cabinet:councils, not always in
accordance with the views of either of the great
leaders, or of those of the President himself. He
will find that, because the institutions of the coun
. try were young, it was deemed, best by the head of
our government to effect compromisu with others,
and make admissions on his own part, not always
in accordance with his own opinions. That which
may have been deemed admissable, however, in in.
fancy, is not always to be tolerated in mature age;
and compromises which may have been made
among great leaders, in the outset of our existence
as . a nation, are not. to be safely taken as prece
dents, since we have learned that enlightened men
know how to govern themselves, without the agen
cy of a'standing army, or the settled rule of " the
rich and well-born."
Had the administration of JAMES Morrnos eon.
tinued to be partisan, we think that
..many of the
abuses which sprung up under our government,
and which afterwards required such powerful ef
forts by the Democracy to overcome them, would
have been unknown. But we are not disposed to
arraign that administration ; or to bring its acts in
review; only so far as is necessary for Bur guid
ance in future. We are compelled to recognise it
as having sanctioned a scheme of internal im.
provements by the general government, which, if
persevered in, would bare led almost, it not en•
tirely, to the extinction of State sovereignty; and
to the identical form of government which the old
Federal party desired: and this state of things
alone ought to be warning enough, to thinking '
men, of the evils of a Ito party administration. If
this, however, is not enough to satisfy a no party
man,,we too would refer to "the halcyon days be
tween 1816 and 1824," when alt kinds of business
was paralised ;- when, after an enormous inflation
of the paper bubble, the great regulator wound up
and produced the explosion of" all the State Banks
which could•be brought within its influence; when
a general crash was heard over the whole country ;
when all but the swindling operators in broken
banks were ruined, or thrown upon their utmost
The following is an extract of a letter, addressed,
to the editor, by one of the most distinguished
Democrats in Pennsylvania, dated

• The editor of the Post. persists in the anthen
ticjil of the forged letterattributed to Gen. Irwin.
Would Ile editor as a lawyer rely ion,) or even re
ceive - Such evidenee in a court of law 1 As a
christian hnd a gentleman would he like - to be con•
detnned upon such evidence? A letter appears—
nobody knows where or when, written without
respect even for the commonnest rules of composi
tion—and yet. is traced to a man whom we all
know to - he as much above the low intrigue of base
motives, as his enemies ate beneath the level of all
manly action, when they thus stretch•truth, justice
and fairness to convict a Political opponent of an
offence of which he is as innocent as the best of
his traducers. The letter itselt is a thousand times
less offensive than such conduct —Pittsburgh Ga
zette.
We will answer the editor of the Gazette in all'
fairness. As a lawyer, we would in any case, of a
similar kind, not only rely upon, but be willing to
receive, just sirch evidenee,' as that which has been
produced to convict Gen. Irvin, the candidate of
the Federal party for Governor of this State, of
having written a letter "without respect cress fo r the
commonnest rules of composition." And now whai
is the nature of tili:s — evidence A letter is pub
lished in several newspapers of our State, over the l
name of thC gentleman' referred to. We have al
ready seen fi referred to in the papers of other
States—not only on account of the gross violation ,
of the naost - common rules of composition ; but
for the pharisaicad parade of benevolence made bi
the writer. We have thought that it may have;
been theresult of some mistake—that Gen. Irvini
was not the writer. We refrain from giying it a
place in our paper, until we have heard something: ,
on the subject from his friends. They in time pro
nounce it a forgery. A considerable length of time .
elapses, and the charge of forgery is repelled, by an
editor who stands unimpeached for integrity, who;
declares it to be a genuine production; that there;
can be no mistake about it—for be has in his pos-!
session the original letter, in the handwriting of Gen.'
James Irvin! To rebut this, the Gazette and its
co-workers declare, that the strongest proof which!
can be presented, that the letter is a forgery, is del
,rived from the date of the letter itself ;—there havi
fig been "no general, Prestdereial, or any othe
r
election; in this State, in Nvember, 1S30;" an,
We are called, upon "more mature deliberation, to
pronounce the-letter what it is, a forgery."
Believing that our contemporary, who stated
that he had the original letter in his possession;
was less likely to be mistaken than one who tried
merely to argue the letter into a forgery, we pre l
Rented our views a second time on the subject;
daring our-entire willingness to pronounce the
letter a forgery, whenever Gen Irvin's friends should
produce any proof that it was not genuine. 'The
proof is not produced; but in lieu of it. arguments
are resorted to, going to show that, even- if it is
genuine, there is nothing contained in it, of which
the writer need to be ashamed! 'The Gazette,
however, goes farther than this; and unequivocally
asserts "nobody knows when or where " this letter
was written ; and this, aft 4 a , respectable author;;
ty has been produced, who proves that he " hak
the original letter in his possession."
But our testimony does not stop here. The
Gazette has denied that there was any " geiteral,
Presidential, or any other election, in this State,
in 1839." We have produced authority to shop{
that there was an election in this State in 16391;
{that it was a special election, to fill a vacancy by
the death of Gen. Potter, a member of the U. S.
House of Representatives ; that this gentleman hall
been chosen to represent the district in which Gel.
Irvin lives; that at the special election in Novem
ber, 1829, Gen. Irvin was again defeated ; and w!e ,
now go a little farthe", aninform the editor of the
Gazette that the election referred to, was held 04
the 21st day of Ndrember, in that yeari - and he will
see that the letter of Gen. Irvin, which he admits
is written " without respect for the commoneit
rules of composition," hears date on the iGth of
that month
Will the editor of the Gazette still persist iii
pronouncing this letter a forgery; or will he come
out, with that degree of magnanimity which he
expected of us, and own that he has been mistaken
that, " upon more mature deliberation;" he is satis
fied the letter is GENUINE ; and, even if he cannot
relinquish his hold upon Gen. Irvin, prove, liy his
admission, that he will not deny the trdih. It
would be asking of him too much, to insist on his
adherence to the sentiments contained in the above
paragraph which we have quoted; but we have ia
right to expect that he will acknowledge the au
thenticity of the letter.

CONSLCRATION 017 ♦ HEBREW STNA000IIE:••
The New York papers give a full account of the
consecration of the new Jewish. Synagogue in that
city on the 26th
Yesterday beipg Tamuz the Ilth, 3.307, at three
in the afternbon; says the Tribune, the service be
gan with an introductory symphony by the orches
tra, which consisted of the members of the Phil.
harmonic Society, and an opening chorus by the
Choir—delightful, holy music—the airs that David
played—the songs that David sung—the galleries
filled with lovely, happy looking women, the ,
daughters of Israel, many of them worthy to b•
the Rebecca of another Ivanhoe, whenever Ameri
ca can find n Walter Scott; or to exhibit the hero
ism of an Esther should a Haman find his way to
power in the land of Washington. We are glad I
that the Hebrews have equal rights here, and still
more pleased that they appear worthy of the high
honor such rights confer.
Throughout the service, the whole congrega
fion, ministers and people, keep their hats; on.—
Rev. Mr. Isaacs, pastor of the New congregation,
preached a very good discouse, and with "auffici
ent earnestness and energy too; part of it was in
'Hebrew, and part in good vernacular English—
but he kept his hat on, andsodid his hearers theirs •

And trustees, and born from the vestry to the ves
tibule, and thence under a canopy, into the Syna

dred receptacle, at the upper end of the edifice, with

Sense of equality before the God of Isrilel ; they
have no,doors, locks, nor latches, but like those of
the continental Catholic churches, seem to be e.

A procession, its members in suitable costumes,
and bearing the sacred symbols of their faith,
walked slowly round the Synagogue seven times,
and the choir and ministers channted the 30th,
:tooth, 29th, and 150th psalms in Hebrew, beauti,
,telly—the sun lighting up the congregation on the
'one hind with lively tints of the colors of the
stained glass, and the Manhattan company, with
their gas, shedding a lesser lustre at the same time,
probably, in illustration of the littleness of men's
'inventions when compared with the works of the
great Creator.
Lore in Boyhood.and Manhood—The love of a
'boy differs from that of a man in this—it is the
wanton enjoyment of a present imperious feeling,
from which all serious consideration of the future
is excluded. It is mere blind activity of neWly4t
wakened emotions. Hence the rashness of early
loves. The boy wants to love; almost any wo
man will suffice. Hence heir violent, capricious,
inconstant, because he only seeks an excitement;
he tries his young wings. The tenderfeeling of pro
tection, which enters so largely into the love of
a man,—the serious thoughts of the duties he owes
to the girl who gives up her life to him, and to
the children shemay bear him—these, and the
thousand minute but powerful influences which
affect the man, are unknown to the boy.

man of excellent character, both in his domestic

Propeller Sarah Sands.—This vessel arrived yes

Mu. Enrron the " Post " of this morn
ing, a Report appeats, signed by two 'members of
the Committee, appointed by the audience assem•
bled at the Ode'on, on Saturday afternoon, the 17th
lost, to conduct experiments on Clairvoyance with
agill named Marthal...abseils, whose extraordinary
poviler of perception, while in the mesmericsleep,
has been the subject of frequent exhibition'in this
city, for the last two or three weeks.. The under
signed, was also a member of the Committee on
that occasion, and as his signature does not appear
on the Report above alluded to; he has been request
ed to make a separate statement by way of expla
nation.
It may be well to premise, that, , my opinion as
to the'restrit of the experiments on Saturday after
moon, does not differ essentially'from that expres.
ned in ttte.Report ; infect, that portion of the Re
port, With some inodifications, was written by my
self, as will appear- beterW; and had Messrs. M'.
Donald and Dilwortli'been able to hand . me their
statement before sending it to press, 1 should have
Waived, my objections'andavoided the necessity of
this article. The first 'titne I had witnessed one
of these exhibitions, wagon the occasion when a
black veil of glazed cotton cloth was to be super
added to the usual bandage of raw cotton over the
eyes ofi the subject; and, ading as one of the Corn
mince, used my best endeavors to make the ban
daging- satisfactory not only to myself, but to
everyone, present. The girl :described objects
that evening, both near and distant, sufficiently
well to convince me that she possesses a power - of
perception independent of the ordinary use of the
senses. And here my.cohnexion with the matter
tvoulti haie ended, had it. not been discovered on
the following day by certain persons, that objects
coultdbe discovered through a veil of glazed mus
lin, when- held before - thenaked eye; and of course,
the additional difficulty of seeing at the same time
through a substratum of leather and cotton, close
packed, and bound by cords passing across the
middle of the forehead; under the base of the nose,
and directly over the eyes, was bi those persons,
if not by Miss Marvin, easily overlooked. Being
present on the next evening that the clairvoyant
subject was exhibited. and serving again on the
committee of .examinersj will state that we took
the greatest care to make the bandaging satisfac
tory to all, though to the painful inconvenience of
the subject. A kid glove was placed .over each'
eye, crossing each other on the bridge of the nose,
and extendiutfrom near the roots of the hair to!
the part .Of the cheek below the nose. On these!
were placed two wads of cotton, each 'about the
size. of a cocoa nut, and confined tightly by ,
four cords, one across the forehead, .two across!
the eyes, and one tinder the nose. Bandaged in
this manner, her perception of objects was clearer
than on the preceding evening. No veil was ad
ded, and the possibility of practicing deception
seemed to be removed. Sceptical gentlemen of i
my acquaintance handed me slips of printed paper ,
requesting me not to let her take them in her hand,
nor to place them below ber eyes. I approached her
from behind, and as soon as I had bro't them above
the crown of her head she read them correctly. She
described the dtess of many persons in the audi
ence '• in one case, the figure on a vest, which could
not be discerned by the naked eye from the place
where she was sitting. Still, many witnesses de
clared themselves not convinced. By this time,
the incredulity of certain minds in face of a de
monstration, became to me a subject quite as lute
re. ting clairvoyanee itseT Sticking plisters were
next to be v applied to the eyes. 'Three nights in sue-
cesaion,exreriments failed. Two facts had been es-I
tablished, the one as clearly as the other, viz: that;
this girl sometimes possesses the power of clair
voyance when in the mestneric sleep, and that
sometimes she does not. I ought here to remark,
that Mr.Gihon, one of the t . entlemen who have
thiS girl , under their charge; always commenced
their ihibitions with the Statement, that he pos
sessed no certain power oiinducing a state of
clairvoyance in -his subject; that sometimes he
failed,, but often succeeded, and that it was only in
this occasional success that he asked belief. On
Saturday, afternoon, the 17th inst., having been
called into the hall, I again, assisted in conducting
the experiments. The manner in which the eyes
were secured, is taken fromihe !Wort in the Post.
"Miss Martha's eyes were Closed in the following
manner. Four strips of Ising-glass plaster were,
placed up and down across the closed lids; over'
these, a inch strip was applied, extending from,,
the outer to the inner corner of each eye, covering
the whole ornite. After this, a large piece was
put on, covering the entire ball; around the edges
of which, small strips were passed, so as effectual
ly to exclude every possibility of seeing. When
. .
its operation was Completed, she requested that
handkerchief might be tied over her eyes to
screen them from -the light, which appeared to give
her pain."
With her eyes thus sealed and blindfolded, Miss
Martha's attention was called to various articles
held up in different parts of the hall, by persons
in the audience. Her perception of objects at first
was very indistinct, apparently not clearer than at
the commencement of the experiments on the
three preceding evenings above alluded to. She
seemed painlidly excited by the apprehension of
failure. The Committee, however, encourged her
by carefully noticing evfiry successful effort. In a
few minutes her vision evidently brightened, she
became confident of her powers, and from this
time, for upwards of an hour. she continued to de
scribe With accuracy a great variety of objects
presented to tier. We would be careful to men
tion-that during the course of these experiments,
the handkerchief was raised four times from -tier
eyes, and the plasters were always found to pre-I
sent the same appearance as when first appli4d.'
And also, that Miss Martha gave some of the most
satisfactory proofs of her singular powers while
Mr. Gihon was in the audience, and no one on the
stage with her, except ourselves. Many slips of
paper, torn at random from handbills, or newspa
pers, by the Committee, aria gentlemen of their
acquaintance, were handed to her and read. In
many cases I was strict to observe that she did
not attempt to employ thesense of touch. She
generally brought the paper directly over the top
of the head, in which position she read the words
thereon contained, with unvarying accuracy.
In the early part of the experiments .she slowly
spelled the words, letter by letter; commencing
with the last and ending with the first, afterwards
she read with greater ease. Several impromtu
tests were presented by individuals in the audience
andsuccessfully answered. For instance, a geutle
man noiselessly placed himself standing in a chair
in front of the platform, with a bonnet on his head
and a parasol in his hand, she soon described his
person, position, and dress,. with accuracy.
When pictures were preiented, she did not de
scribe them with minuteness, but correctly as to
the size and general appearance; even when held at
a distance. She had a correct perception of color
When requested by a member of the committee
'to tell the color of a leaf contained in a magazine,
she answered with perfect correctness, " it is straw
color." This, 'as . most other objects, was only
brought near the top of the head. A slip of blank
paper was handed her as if to read ; bringing it
near the top of.her head, she exclaimed, " Why,
doctor, this is'Whitec-only the edge is dirty," and
so it was. A gentleman handed_ tier his watch,
giving her to understand the hands had been placed
wrotz, though in fact they had not been moved.
'She rdld the time exact to a minute, 20 minutes
of six." It is unnecessary, to go farther into a de
tail. Suffice it to say, that I ant fully satisfied that
no system of deception or colluSion can have been
practised so as to have influenced the success of
many of these experiments; nor see any reason to
doubt that this girl possesses the extraordinary)
powers claimed for her by those whe have her in
charge. L. STEPHENS

COL. CRATO,—Lieut. Cul. Henry K. Craig has
been appointed to the command of the 11. S. Ar
senal, near this city. Col. Craig, who is a native
of 'Pittsburgh, is a gentlemap of most unassuming
deportment and amilble manners. As a soldier,
by his professional skill, he was rewarded with the
friendship of Gen. Taylor, who always spoke in
high terms of him in his despatches. Col. Craig
had charge of the Ordnance Department; and we
learn, was in the Staff of Gen. Taylor in the bat
tles of Palo Alto and Monterey. He has been,
since the commencement of the war, in active ser•
vice, under a tropical sun ; and the government
has placed him now in a delightful command,
where he will bare the needful repose, after his
arduous services in the field.
W11.1.1.17a B. Mcaunr, Eso..—A friend hand
ed us the following article, taken from a\Carlisl
paper, in which an address by Mr. McClure, o l
our city, delivered before the *General Ciiion Phil
osophical Society,: of Dickenson College, is spoken
of in fair terms, and we dare say not too nattering,
Mr. McClure is alwayssuccessful on such occasions.
We trust the address may he published :
" The Annual Oration before'. the General Union
Philosophical Society was delivered on Wednesday
evening, by' William 13. McClure, Esq., of, Pitts.
burgh. In a beautiful and touching exordium, the
Orator alluded to the manifold associations that
were awakened in his mind byre-visiting the place
of his nativity. The well remembered haunts of •
boyhood, its plays and sports, its holidays • and
"skirmishes" were called vividly in language so
striking and yet so simple as to delight all hearts.
The speaker then proceeded to his subject, and
dwelt with great force of thought 'and felicity of
illustration upon the incentives to intellectual cul
tivation in this country,and to the causes_ which so
often induce its neglect To those who have not
heard Mr. 3lcClnre, it is impossible to convey any
just idea of his style. His biting sarcasm might
have made no believe him cynical, had it not alter
noted with the kindest thou g hts, clothed in the
blandest language. His brighr-ilashes of wit and
abounding humor might have' induced . the belief
that he only sought to amuse his Auditory, had not
profound truth and wise, rules of practice
,fornied
the staple of his discourse. For an hour and'. a
half he kept his hearers in gratified and unbrok.
attention,—unbroken, at least, save by bursts> of
merriment (which even the weeping; philcisopher
could not have repressed) when . some sudden turn'
of wit fell from the versatile speaker. Seldom
have we known more home truths to be told even
by the plainest and most honest preacher; yet,
sooth to say, seldom have we krown a preacher
that could cause an audience to' dike home truths
in such good part. If to be didactic without being
dull, to be practical' without being firming, to be
wise without being wearisome, and to be severe
without being sour, is to be eloquent,—then was
Mr. McClure's oration a most eloquent one. Never.
have we known an address on a similar occasion
to give more general satisfaction. .
cry The Telegraph has an article in favor of
cheap houses for the working classes. We are; in
favor of a cheap house, that will hold comfortably
and agreeably, two or three thousard people. ° This
would be economical and practicable. Such build
ings are talked of in England, and companies are
forming in London for their erection..
SMOKE CONSUMEIL—We have been asked what
has been done with the proposition made by a
scientific gentleman. a few weeks ago, to abate
the smoke nuisance. We can not answer, positive.
ly ; but believe the scheme was laughed at by the
sage councilmen. It is wonderful "what men do,
not knowing what they do." The success of a
plan that would rid the city of the smoke nuisance,
would add millions to its wealth. That such a
plan can be made practicable, we do not doubt.
The encouragement of the city authorities is all
that is required.
We should like to hear of some definite action
by the City Councils on the question. The names
of those who have opposed the scheme should be
made known to the public before the next munici
pal election.
Destructive Fire.—Quite a destructive fire broke
out in the extensive Tack Factory of Messrs.
Campbell & Chess, in Birmingham, about 11
o'clock on Wednesday night which destroyed the
factory (worth $3,900 insured $.3,000,) together
with a frame dwelling, barber shop, shoemaker's
shop, and office beloning to Mr Chess, valued at
AVO—no insurance. ' We have not learned how
the fire originated. The engines from this and
Allegheny City were promptly on the ground, an
did everything in their power to stay the ravages
of the fire—although compelled to force water from
the river.—Dispatch.

LUMBER—The sales of Lumber are strictly
confined to the Yards. None afloat, nor- on . -the

We notice one fact in relation to Lumber: There
is not a city in the Union—where the trade is so
large, both in consumption and shipment- - --in Which
the article is so low, and sold from Yards etas
small profit. Lumber, to the amount of millions
of feet, that has been washed on the beach at $7,50
to $8 for Common, and $lO for Clear, is selling for
$lO and $2O from the Yards. After deducting ex.
penses,—hauling, piling, yard rent, waste, interest of
money, &c.,—it must be conceded that the consum•
er has a decided advantage. Froni the intreaSed de
mand from abroad, and present inadequate prices,
compared with other products; we anticipate an
advance. . '
