After having adopted a number of patriotic reso
lotions, {from among whieNve extracu the luttow
ing,) the Convention adjourned :
Resolved, That we consider the usage of holding
a National Contention for the nominating of can-1
didates for the Presidency and Vioe Presidency of
the United States, as founded in -expediency, and
striengly entrenched in the paptilar wind ; and ttit
without the use of this important means, we alight
well despair of preserving that unity and organi
zation, so essential-.to the success of the great prin
ciples which we litxor to maintain.
Resolved, That the present prosperous condition
•f the people and government, furnishes a wither
ing rebuke to those who so loudly predicted uni
versal ruin and disaster as incident to the passage.
of the tariff of 1846, under which all ; branches of
industry and enterprise are flourishing with unpre
cedented vigor; thus clearly demonstrating the, ful
ly of the Federal party in cherishing " a want of
confidence " is the capacity, energy and character
of the American people, who literally make their
own laws, and adapt them to the requirements of
justice and expediency.
Resolved, That we recur with unalloyed satis
faction to the able mauler in which FFLANCIS ft.
SHUN% has thus far discharged the important
trust committed to his bands ; and that, for his sa
gacity, unwearied efforts, and mani`est patriotism,
we cordially commend him as entitled to the s.• p
port of all those who desire the welfare of the
State.
Resolved, That the -undisputed qualifications and
high character of our candidate for Canal Com
missioner, MORRIS LONGSTRETII, constitute
a sure guaranty of his ability to discliarge the du
ties of the office for which he has beer; nominated,
and of the enthusiastic support he will receive from
tie people.
Resolved, That as a portion of the Democracy
of Pennsylvania, we hail with feelings of exulta
tion the unclouded prospects of a gluzious victory
on the Tuesday of October next,. which will
elevate our renowned old Comnsonwe,ilth to a stilt
higher position in the estimation of our Demo
cratic bretberen of the Union.
For the Pittsburgh Mot - ping Post
The corner correspondent of that purr and tile•
ra! sheet, the American. assures me that Mr. Dar
eie is not, acquainted with him. Consequently, I
infer that he declines the search for that Lot .
This is to be regretted, because " ", weldknown
fondness for " corner reflections," and his associa•
tion *ith the publisher of them affidavits, had ix.
duced the belief that he could hardly discover a
corner lot, even if it had. been " burnt up."
"K" also informs me that be is not going to
hupt up the files of the Gazette or American to
prove any thing in regard to them affidavits about
Shank trampling on the American Flag. Well,
perhaps he is right;' furdoubtless he can get living
witnesses out of his own head, sufficient to satisfy
any body of the vulgarity of his "corner refire
- Lions."
It may be that " K'" can prove all he asserts,
and more too, by his living witnesses; but I do as
sure him, that the sort of testimony be offers, will
not be acceptable to this community. The peo
ple here are very cautious about affidavit makers
—they remember the flag story; they remember
Mtutcheon's affidavit; and they remember an•
other man's affidavit, out of compassion for whose
sore afflictions I refrain from naming, but it is to
be found on the files of the American and Gazette.
Let...me assure "K." that if George Darsie is un•
acquainted with him, his association with the
American, (the organ of the Whig party here) is
no evidence of his political integrity or honesty.
And I would advise him, if he has any "corner re
flections" to publish, not to disgrace the name of
that noble defender of the right of conscience, Jno.
S. tht Salle, Esq , by bringing it to aid the church
burning party against his own will. I happen to
know Mr. Du Solte as well as "K." does, and
perhaps better, hewing traveled over a portion of Eu
rope with.him: Bah ! "K." you have begun badly
and you will end worse. "L•"

ADDIUSSB delivered before the General Union Phil
osophical Society of Dickinson College, on 7th
July; 1947, by War. B. 11rCitray., Eict., of
Pittsburgh.
This is the title of a neatly executed pamphlet
before us. College addresses have become so nu
merous, and are so nearly alike in all things, that
we generally stick fast, in our attempts to wade
through them, somewhere between Greece and
Rome, and the glory of alma Inter. The Address
of Mr. M'Clure we /love read through; and we fin
ished it, we must confess, with- some disappoint.
went, not on account of the subject or style, but
because we failed Id - discover in it—what we expec
ted to find throughout—the keen, flashing wit, the
comicalities, the humor, so characteristic of the
author. Here- and there were 'unmistakeable
traces of his pen; but they were not sufficiently
marked' to give a Maclurian character to the pro
duction. -
Mr. M'Clure's reminiscences of his native town,
Carlisle, are beautifully expressed; and with truth
he declares it to be "treason agaiust innocence and
nature, either to banish or conceal the pure, un
bought homage of the heart to the spot of one's
nativity." Hood.remen3bered with sacred delight
the trees ardund his native cottage, whose tops he
once thought reached unto the sky; "it was a child
ish ignorance," and he declares he bad in man•
hood
The same thoughts are finely expressed by Mr.
ill'Clure; "well do I remember climbing to the
topmost branch of a tall sycamore, prompted by
a curiosity which was the offspring of almost the
first germ of intelligence or reflection, to be satis
fied whether any other world could possibly lie be
yond those. beautiful blue mountains by which this
happy valley is enclosed; and descending from my
airy perch, down to dull earth again, perfectly sat
isfied, end fully conrieoed, that these mountains
and this horizon weve the outmost bliuudaries of
the universe."
And then ALMA MATER! Ckir fiend exhausts
all his eloquence on this glowing theme, and never
was there such an Alma Mater as Dickinson Col.
lege—never did the world see such '•high priests
of learning and wisdom" as ministeied at the al-
ter in this temple of Minerva—no Alma Matt
ever before had such cone "not a pletiancrowd of
Rome's rabble, but a convocation of patricians,
nobles and emperors, in the realms of s..ience and
literature!" We have always been of the opinion
that Colleges were bad schools :of democracy;
and this address is not calculated to change our
sentiments on the subject. There is an irresisti-
hie propensity in the human mind to form exalted
opinions of some favorite olject of one's early
days; and the college or school where the young
mind first tasted the sweet waters of v.i,slom is
seldom, if ever, underrated. Everything then is,
seen through a prism, arid the brilliant tints are
cherished in the memory, when the glory has de.
parted. and nothing is seen around us but the corn
moo light. We do not wonder, then, that Mr.
/itClure speaks so enthusiastically of the Presi
dents, Professors and Students of Dickinson Col
lege. "Leviathans" and "Elephants - in Literature—
"her literary offspring, wholesome and strong in
the conscious dignity of plwer, walk with the
stride and stroke of an engine; until the firm earth
quivers beneath their feet!" lie poims to the ar
my, the navy, the pulpit, the bar,: the forum, the', ,
legislative hall, theknlieial seat; to every avenue of
honorable competition; and where theydume wawal
I the proudest, and the intellectual sword leaps I
from its scabbard like lightning from the cloud, I
and fails with the keenest execution,nre to be
found,"asnong the foremost and first," the patri•
i cians, nobles and emperors, on whom 'the patent
and stamp of literary knighthood was conkrred by
Dickinson Colle-,ge. The orator says, "Our Alma
Mater has fernithed prominent candidates for the
Presidency of the United States" (we must mark
these Patricians when any more of them are. cam-
didates)—lent the Senate of this Union some oil
'its loudest thunders—furnished foreign courts with
ministers, with whom foreign rourtiers,schaars-and
statesmen, wore puzzled a-4A more to admire, the cic.
gance of their mannerr. ur tie devils and silidtty ryr
their attainments." And after pointing to the Su
preme Bench of the United States for some of the
distinguished graduates, he exultingly eiclaims,
--behold the steep where Fame's proud ! temple
shines afatond from base to summit the sonsfof Dick•
enson are scaling its sides, of reposing on its pin- II
nacle. With far in ire than a m rtron's pride, she
may point to her sons and say, these are r'py jew
els; behold! bow they blaze, in theirpsrenrs crown !
of glory!"
We have repeated some of the strong i expres
sions of our friend, to show that a College educa
tion dues not prepare the mind to ernbra4 the sim-
ple doctrine of republican Naafi ty; and the' tendency
in some of the States, to make all pub officers
elective by the people, does not, of course, meet
*with his approbation. Wp believe we -do not mis
represent his views, heretolore expressed, that all
Judges should be appointed for life. This would
do very well if they were all ".patricians," and
received the " order of knighthood" at Dickinctui
College; but should some pfsbcion, who had re
ceived his diploma at some log school house,chance
to get the ermine round his shoulders, bow our
friend would pray bar the abolishment of his life.
office! We agree with Mr. McClure, that "'giro
ranee entrusted with power, is more dangerous
than an uncaged tiger; it has not even the moral
courage to entertain for one moment a rational
fear or a rational doubt of anything;" but we can
' not agree that this " ignorance " is exhibited, when
the people choose to take to themselves the ap-
pointment of any officer, for any office created by
the laws of the Country. We have more confi
dence in the wisdom of the people than our friend ;
if they ever err by making a wrong selection,
sober second thought corrects the mistake; but
when a life appointment is made to any office,
springing from the people, ;led over which the peo
ple have no control, and that officer theUld be in
competent, the difficulty of a removal is too well
known. And is it not just as likely that some
fawning sycophant to the appointing power, some
political wire worker, some friend of the family,
should be anpOinted to the life office, and thus have
fastened on the people a disagreeable public officer,
as that the people themselves should, though igno
rant, fail to discover arid select men the best quali
fied, "who from reservedness of manners and se
verity of morals" would always be found in the
back ground. The people are not fools; and we
have heard them pass their opinion on the quali
fications of Judges with more truthfulness, than
we have heard expressed by genflerilen of the bar
themselves, In an enlightened country, no unjust
Judge can be popular—no ignoramus can sit on
the Bench, without encountering the scoffs and de
rision of the people; and while we disagree with
him on the sentiment, we
, cannot but admire the
candor of the gentleman when he says,—" We are
eternally prating about Vox Populi, as synonymous
with Vex Dci; and yet, a man who has an eye to
see, an ear to hear, or a - tongue bold enough to pro-
M 7,17.

In being farther off from hobt ,, en
Than when he was a boy!
•
clairre.the truth, will find that one half the time,
thii vex popteli,tkiis vox' dei, is vox et prrtericrnihif."
Thereare some fine passages in the Addrsis,
that we should like to copy, if our space allowed
us. His week of a Yankee is 'an admirable satire;
so, also, is his description of a politician's - consci
ence. The characteristics" of the sects, parties,
opinions, seisms, societies and frivolities of this
" model republic" he holds up to ridicule, but de
clares—'these remarks do not expose a parent's
nakedness;. for our constitution is the perfection of
wisdom and political freedom. I have only been
noticing a few of the frolicksome gambles of the
children, buoyant with spirits and plethoric with
health, who expose their own want of thought, by
the eccentricities they pi ctice, and the ludicrous
attitudes they sometimes assume. These, and a
thousand other Collies, are the consequences of the
neglect of intellectual education." '
In allusion to the enterprising genius of our
countrymen, he -says- 7 " The grand Sultan has to
ken the pipe from his mouth, and shaken off his
dream of opium, when an American boy taught
him how to build ships. Perhaps we may some
day teach - him to throw his Koran in the fire, and
read the volume which assures us that it is not all
of life to live, and all of death to (lie " And with
appropriateness and classic beauty is expressed the
acts of our "young and healthful nation, with
mire than a Roman daughter's filial piety, opening
the full breast of her exuberant fertility to a once
stern parent, now feeble and famishing—the re
cords of whose separation are written in charac
ters of blood."
The closing paragraphs are well written, as of
course they should be, when prepared for the fas
tidious palates of such intellectual epicures as the
Students and Professors of "mother Dickinson."
We might point out some blemishes, but suppose
them errors of the hand rather than the task, such
as the following: " Where the rose had no thorn,
and the hoary no sting." When Addison's writings
will not bear the test of strict criticism, it will
not do to be over : mice in applying the rules of
Thetoric to the Addreis before us, even though it
elhanated from bne who has received his degree of
Intellectual knighthood from the '' patricians, no
bles and emperors" of Dickinson College.

ENGLAND AND IRELAND
The London Morning Chronicle says: If the
liberals gain upon the whole election, as we ham
supposed, 15 seats from the Peelites and 35 seats
from the Protectionists, the numbers will then stand
thus:
Liberals 333
Pretties 97
Protectionists 928
OM
This would give the Liberals a majority of eight
over the two sections of Conservatives. This. we
are convinced, is not far from the result which
will be arrived at and we should not be much
surprised to find, instead of a majority on any side,
an exactly even division of the House of Com•
mons." _
The Oregon Territory —A curious fact trans
pired at the Glassgow election. Mr. MGregor, of
the Boanl of Trade. One of the candidates, stated
that at the time our ambassador, at Washington,'

the 49th parallel of north latitude as the basis oil
a treaty, and when by that refusal the danger of a
rupture bet seen Great Britain and America be
came really imminent, Mr. Daniel Webster, for
merly Secretary of State to the American Govern
rnent wrote a letter to Mr. ti Gregor, in which he
strongly deprecated Mr. Pakenham's conduct,
ch, if persisted in and adopted at home, would,
to a certainty, embroil the too countries, and sog
gested an equitable compromise, taking the 47sh
parallel as the basis of un adjustment, Mr. MG.
sent tne letter to Lord John Russell, who gave Mr.'.
M'Gregor permission to intimate to the Earl of
Aberdeen that he, Lord John Russell, quite agreed
with Mr. Webster. This expressed opinion of a
statesman in opposition, doubtless, relieved Earl
Aberdeen of any apprehension of censure from
that quarter; but. Mr. M'Gregor claims for himself
and Lord John Russell the merit of having thereby
contributed essentially to preserve the peace of
the world.—Liverpool Timm

TURKEY
According to accounts from Constantinople of
the 17th ult. the news from Kurdistan is, that Beder
'lan Bey, after making several attacks on the Tur
kish force under Osman Pacha, in all of whica he
was beaten, has been deserted by nearly all his sol
diers, and by his allies. Mahomould Khan has
retired to his own impregnable castle on the south
of the Lake of Van. Nonvitah Bey has (seeing
the bad turn events are taking for his father•in•law
submitted to the Porte; and Behr ,Han has not,
actually more than a band of 500 men with him ;
It is probable we shall next bear either of his sur
render to the Sereskier, or of his flight into Persia.
It appears that the battles which have been
very severe. At Darguelheb, near Dejezira, he
made a night attack on the Turktsh force, which
was commanded by 'Omar Pacha, the Austrian
renegade, who two years ago put down rebellion
in Albania. The combat which took place is said
to have been most obstinate. The Seraskier ac
knowledges the loss of 500 killed and 1,000 wound
ed, and the loss of the Kurds is asserted to have
been much greater. Nearly at the same time, too
Gonin Pacha attycked Kham Mahmoud, and,-after
a very desperate struggle, routed his force, which
consisted of about 3,000 men, of which 1,000 it
is reported, fell, the action having been onc in

these in Turkey since the battle of Nazib.

LOCAL MATTERS.
Tan Gassx Boos.—On ' Saturday, Morse re
ceived from the east a few copies of that much
talked of Scrilc, known by the name of "Davis'
Revelations." We have a copy now before-us,but
on account of its hugeness have not dared to do
more than read the Preface and glance through
its pages. It is a magnificent specimen of typog
raphy; the binding is well executed.
The contents of this book have already been
noticed in our paper, and in others of this city; so
that we need do nothing -more than announce its
arrival, aad suggest to those who are fond of truth
in such garb—for that there is a world of truth in
it cannot be doubted—to secure one immediately,
and read it carefully. Those who have faith in
the pretensions of rfairrooyanie—and there are
many—will of course supply themselves with this
work, as it professes to consist of the "consecutive
reasonings and revelations of a spirit freed, by a
certain physical process, the philosophy of which
is explained, from the obstructing influence of the
material organization, and exalted to a position,
which gave access to a knowledge of the structure
and laws of the whole material and spiritual u.ni-
verse :"
The work is arranged in three parts. The first
is called The Key," and bears the following
MEI
Any theory, hypothesis, sect, creed or institution
that fears Investigation, openly manifests its own
error.
The second Part is called "The Revelation,"
and has this text :
Reason is a flower of the spirit, and its fra
grance is liberty and knowledge.
The third is entitled "The Application," with
the , following inscription:
When distributive justice pervades the social
world, virtue and morality will bloom with an im •
mortal beauty, while the Sun of Righteousness
will arize in the horizon of universal industry, and
shed its genial rays over all, the fi elds of peace,

—The above _was written for yesterday's issue,
but it was c rots - ded out. We have since received
the Tribune of the 19th, which contains a long
letter from Professor Bush. We saw it noticed
some weeks ago that this distinguished expounder
of the doctrines of Swedenborg had condemned the
work just published by Messrs. Lyon and Fish
bough, known as Davis' Revelations." By this
letter in the Tribune, we find that this was a mis
take—the Professor proclaims hinaS'elf a firm be
liever in the genuineness of the work, though he
had no mart in getting it aut. Thu Professor ad
yerts to a passage in the bo'k, and examines Its
bearings upon the scarce from which the informa—
tion given by the so-called Clairvoyaut" was de-
I rived. Prof. B. says: uOn p. 587. he (Davis) has
'entered into a detailed and very accurate analysis
of one of Sweilenhorfs scientific works, entitled
the Economy of the Animal Kingdom' Ile gives
a minute account of the scope of each volume. and
; I he could not well hays been more correct had the
volumes been open before him for the express per
pose of exhibiting a summary of its contents.
The Lecture containing this Fassa.ge I heard read
shortly alter its delivery. It struck me as very re.
markable, as the work in questicu3 had .hut ascent-•
ly arrived in this country, and I was-confident from
• • various reasons, that neither Mr. Davis nor his as
sociates could have saw it." And the Professor
goes on to state the matinee in which be tested the
question as to whether Davis, or any of the per-
sons 'in connexion with him ;had ever seen the

'I" piing Davis has analysed and characterised a work

I may be satisfied that the "Revelations" are not im-
Ipositions Kinn the public, he proposes a further
test as regards the 'Economy of the animal King.
;tom." It is as billows:
I now propose, therefore, to pat this matter to
a much.more summary test, by applying a magnet
of the highest potency in drawing out truth, as
well as other things, from all weaker a.tfutities. '
em authorized to make a Gana fide offer of $5t39 to
any person who will produce a single iota of evi•
deuce, properly substantiated, that the work in
question was ever seen, heard of, consulted or in
any way employed, by either of the gentlemen
above mentioned up to the time of the delivery ol
said Lecture by A. J. Davis. 1 simply demand
that such evidence shall be clearly and unequivo
cally made out, and I pledge myself, upon the
truth of an holiest man, that the above sum shall
tie. punctually paid over, in the presence of wit
nesses to the person who, on the condition specilled,
shall come forward end claim it.
We notioe the above as a matter of news; we
let the whole aflair go for what it is worth, but
commend the work by Davis, as well as the stric
tures von it by friends and toes, to the atten
tion of the thinking portion of community. No
one who has examined the book can refuse to ad
mit that in point of talent it is above the average
works dealing in scientific subjects Had
this. work appeared (remarks Prof. Bush) in the
ordinary course of things, like other works on
similar topics, it would undoubtedly have been
said that it was the production of a thinker and a
scholar."
A DISTIIENSING FASS.—One day last week, a
poor, distressed looking man appealed to our bet
ter feelings for assistance. His story was quickly
sold. He had been unfortanate, a partner robbed
him of his means, and death deprived him of his
wife, and had laid him low fora time. The world
frowned on him because of his poverty, &c. &c.
His narrative, simple as it was, cut in the right
place; it opened up our heart; and we could not re.
sist the appeal made to our benevolence. We put
our band into our pocket and drew forth its entire
contents—a ten cent piece. The sight of it illu
med the countenance of our old friend, a tear
started from his eye as he blessed us for our liber
ality, He departed with a lighter step than that
with which he approached us. -Our own feelings
can only be imagined by one who has bled for the
goiid rof others. • • On Saturday night we a

on the corner of Fifth and Wood, gloriously
drunk! Did our dime bring him there. Philip

Sictszss.—For the past week there has been an
utinsual amount of sickness in our city. Medical
men have been kept busy, dispensing medicines
td those who have been lain low: while hundreds
aie doctoring themselves. The origin of the dis
eases is the weather, none have escaped colds, ex
cept those few who have constitutions strong e
nough to throw off the effects of a vitiated atmos
phere. In a few days we hope to see all right a
gain; the complaints are curable. We have not
heard of an unusual number of deaths for the sea
son; we believe our citizens are peculiarly fortu
nate in this respect.
