■ At the nesv Court House, yesterday, was, Withe
cqtflonbt,one of the most perfect political farces
tyre ever.vntnessed. To call it a failure would dig
nify it with rather too much importance Thei
• smallest ward meetiug we ever attended in the
city, exceeded it in numbers and enthusiasm
Gen. Wm. Mahelb. a very innocent and amiable
old gentleman, acted : as chairman, assisted by
Thomas JzriEßson Biqsah, and some halt dozen
other vices. From this it will be seen that the
programme published in yesterday’s Post, was de,
patted from. . Without counting the officers of the
meeting and the newspaper reporters, there could
not have been over thirty parsons within the bar
of the Court room. Outside, however, there may
have been an hundred persons, many of whom
■ were Democrats, who were looking on as Bpecta-
tors. • , .
—The-meeting was organized at precisely J past
- eepi-«b ond adtnurned precisely at 12o'clock,
r ■ three quarters ot an hour!!
Uor ..vrzjt’-a . lAoa, Esq. spoke for about ten
,:ik. :i-r. ;:eeble and indifferent manner.
He said this waaa meeting of the people, and not of
the office holders, although T. J. Bigham, George
Darsie, J. W. Biddle, Geo. S. Hays, Daniel Mc-
Curdy, and other office-seeking and office-holding
gentry, were present, takmg an active part in the
proceedings! Mr. D. gave the editor of the Jour,
nal a “shot on the rear by saying that those edi
tors who assert that it is premature to aaitate the
Presidential question, only wish to oppose General
Scott's nomination. Mr. Riddle, who happened
to be present, looked as amiable as a pet lamb,
and bore the rebuke meekly, without twitching a
muscle of bis face'. After Mr. Darragh condud
. ed, there was a solemn, silent pause for the space
- of five minutes!
■ Geo. Dabsie, Esq., who has made politics a
trade for the last fifteen years, read some resolu*
' turns, principally compiled from the proceedings
of Scott meetings in other portions of the State.
; They were about as weak as water gruel, and were
'received withjiient admiration!
There was another solemn pause of about five
minutes more!
Thomas vJevfehsoh Bioham, -Esquire, —the
great Bigham—.the orator, legislator and states
man—the valiant leader ana ladies’ man—the
perfumed Adorns of Whiggery in Pittsburgh
then descended from the wool-sack, and after
drawing himself up into the attitude of a fighting
Gladiator, commenced by saying. “Mr. Speaker,”
“M-i-s-t e r S-p-e-a-k-e-r I■’ and then proceeded to
relate some of ms mighty acmevemeats m tne halls
-of legislation, at. Harnsburgh. during the past
Winter! Ho especially alluded to the action of
■ some forty Whig memheraof the Legislature. who
nominated Gen. Scott as the Whig candidate for
President—thus flatly contradicting the statement
of Mr. Darragh, that tbe office-holders bad noth
ing to do with the present movement. After Big
ham naa compared General Scott to the Duke of
Wellington, and adarcssing “Mister Speaker'
some half dozen times, he jumpeu about fifteen
inches higo, uttered one of his wilaest Equeals, acd
retired: from- the arena enveloped in a blaze of
glory 1 :
Bighorns exit was followed by anctner mourn
ful pause of some minutes. ■ ; ■
Msj. Wieeoce —“ if there is no more business
to be done, I move tout we adjourn. ■
Mr. Daubach—“ Wc Had betiar pass a resolu
tion first to have the proceedings published."
A voice—“l move, Mr. President, that the pro
ceedings are published in all tbe Whig papers.”
Mr. Dahhaoh—“ i move to amend by saying
the Scott papers.” „ (
A score of voices—“ Let-us adjourn —lei us ad»
joum."
I\ G. Kat—“ Three cheers loi Gen. bcott- two
of which were given by Mr. Kay himself, and the
meeting then adjourned. Thus ended the farce!
“ Who killed Cock Robin ?
The Uemocratlc Party and the Preil*
Our political opponents m many parts at the
country, (remarks that admirably conducted paper,
the Norristown Regular,) seem to be in great.tri
bulation, because they cannot foretell with confi*
dence which of the distinguished men of the na
tion will be chosen by the Democratic party, as
the standard bearer of its principles at the next
Presidential election. Various surmises are in
dulged in by these gentry, and a great deal of un
necessary trouble is taken an reference to a ques
tion which they can have no interest in whatever,
excepting to ascertain before hand, who they are
destined to ba essentially beaten by m 1852,
We hope they will curb their impatience for a
while, assuring them that, in due season, every
thing shall be made clear to their views. When
' the proper time arrives, and not until then, the
Democratic party will make choice of a candi
date ; and that candidate will unquestionably be
one possessed of abilities to do honor to the sta
tion he is bound to be elevated to, and of popu-
lanty sufficient to scatter before him all tbe forces
which Whiggery and its consort allies can rally
to oppose biß progress. Among onr political
brethren are many, very many, who are well and
amply fitted to carry out the great work of re-
generation. Such an one will be chosen, and tho
cordial and harmonious union of democrats, from
one extreme of the Union to the other, in snpport
of his nomination, will show our opponents that
we are perfectly competent to act for ourselves,
and do not stand in need of either their advice or
their sympathy.
No sane mau can doubt the issue of the next
Presidential contest. The Democrats of our
country have been taught lessons in the past by
which they will profit in the future; and they
wiU not cease their labors or relax their energies,
- untibtbey have planted the banner of our party
’ in triumph on the Capitol of the nation. -

not those produced by media who may be suspected

Sait FnAtfciaca,. March 15,1851.-
Dear &vr; —l embrace-the only leisure moment
left to drop you a line. The following Pitts*
barghere are now in this city, viz: Wtn. C. Mere*
dith, Edward Smiths (Oregon House), Lt. Kane (
P. Kane, Robinson, Herring, .Clark, Gracey, Bark*'
ley, Brickell, Thompson, Burnsides and brother*
Kinkaid, Moony, D. McKee, Coles, Fulton, Gray
hana, M J Clelland, R. Riddle
and W. H-Brown, Oliver and J. G, Woods have
gone home; they left on board the E. A. Everett,,
for Panama. Hughes- Anderson andT. M. Mere
dith, are still on the rancho near Sacramento.
Jackson Reed died suddenly about the 20th ot
last month. Two deaf and dumb Pittsburghers,
named Neely, arrived in-this city ; and have gone
to Klamath. Gracey arrived here on the 6th, fat;
ragged and saucy. -
Meredith, Kane, bmuh. and Robinson are con
nected with the Police department. Capt. Mere*
dith has recently been promoted ; he became con.*
nected with the police about the Ist of November
-1849; in April he was promoted to (he rank of
Sergeant, m July he was again promoted to the
rank of Assistant Captain, and on the 19tb of last
mouth he was made Captain of the Ist District
Police;—thus has h* walked up through all the
department, from private to Captain. On the
night of his promotion there was a general iliu%
mination to the Ist district ot tbe city Bat of
thiß more anon.
A new paper has recently been started in this
city, which has created no little excitement. Al
though \V. C. Meredith’s name does not appear at
its head, it is a pretty well established fact that
he is one of the principal editors and proprietors.
Success to the euterpnse.
The Pacific News has gone over to tho Whigs;
tbe loss is considered a-smalt one. Winchester
proposes to establish another, but his Democracy
is, to say the least of it. ot u very doubtful char
acter.
I perceive that ex-Mayor Barker gets a notice
in this day’s Clarion.
f will endeavor to give you a long letter by
next mail; at present I have not lime. Meredith
informed me last night that it was impossible for
him to write by the present steamer. He is over
bead and heels to business, and on the run day
and night.
All our boys, so far as I have learned, are well.
They bad some little notion to get on a bender on

Dtfllonltlei at tbe World’* Fair*
Things do not go on so smoothly si tho Glass Pal
ace as was anticipated. By a letter from London to
tho Boston Post it appears there is a difficulty as to
who is the rightful American Conumnaioner, Mr.
Riddle, of Boston, or Mr. hUDebury, formerly of the
National Institute. A meeting was hold on the 2oih
ofMnch,by the American contributors,for the pur*
pose of considering tho causes of complaint, to ai>«
point committers, and, if possible, remove alt ibr*n
unpleasant difficulties. The following arc the pmi
cipaf causes of complaint, as nifcnnoned;—'the reg
ulation for appointing Junes for awarding premiums.
Lho iejection of the b, S. prodocit by the cxeruiiio
committee; the distribution of bronze mcdila, in
stead ot grand prizes in money, as first promised ;
the rule of charging exhibitors for admission; the
charges for decoration, bindicg, ensitic.j. ani rhu
c fasrgc, by vpemai cosiest, oi 5s fid, sterling, for
breaking the teals of each package, nr.d lionlly,
tho absence of protection of new inventions against
piracy.
The Philadelphia Evening BoMetso pays on ihu
subject:
There is much complaint a* to tho condition of
many of the articles sent from this country. A csto
marked “ Grccnough, Pa.,* 1 containing an eicciri
cai machine, was completely destroyed. A bcauti
ful model of tha New York Exchange, wau dern.V*
isbed, and other article* sufiered the same fate.—
Many cases lying unopened in (he glass palace wera
exposed to the w»ter which leaked through constant*
ly during rainy weather. Altogether tnc prosnnet in
rather discouraging to 'Mho world” in genera!, and
American* in particular. The only nation that is
likely to be beuofitted la John Ball, and he is euro
of having a crowd m his capital sod millions of
money spent among his people, no matter whether
the exhibition is a failure or not. It will be rather
mortifying If the groat exmbuion should turn out a
humbug, and tbe “ World’s Fair” come to-be remem
bered as tho “World’s Folly.”
(Sore Troason In South Carolina
Senator Butleu, of South Carolina, has been dam
pening the ardor for separate secession. In a speech
jately mado at Edgefield Court House, he denounced
the tyranny that ho alleges the Union is inflicting up.
on ihcSoulbj and pronounced tho Federal Govern
ment hut soother uame for depouam; yet in refer
ence to tho action ol Sooili Carolina, he m con
vinced that secession will not bo opposed by aoy ac t
ol war on the part of the Government at Washington-
Wc quote further Irora the F.dgeficld Advcrlmcr, as
follows;
“Ho has come to the conclusion hat the State
will be permuted to secede peaccahlv. This he con
siders by far thn most formidable danger that lies in
our path./ Were war the consequence of our action,
he woala not dread the step as much aa ho doeo-
But ho looks with alarm to the indications, which
are becoming palpable, that wo will be permitted to
depart without molestation. His apprehensions of
evil from this course of masterly inactivity, ore based
upon the dissensions which, he tears, will spring up
among onr people, from the strong opposition oftho
commercial interests in our midst, and from the no*
noyanco which Fedora) gold may bribe the surround
ing Mates to Inflict upon us. He fears this may ren
der our action a failure. But he firmly believes that
if South Carolina were united, she could safely and
certaioly dissolve tho Union at once.”

—The last number ofthcjDaguorrcan Journal, print*
ed in Now York, contains another communication
from Mr. Hill, relative to bis discovery of produo wg
a variety of Huts of colors in the samo plato. The
editor in prefacing tho letter says the views of land*,
scapes by this process arc unequalled; tho flower
gardoß, with all its variety of blooming flowers, can
he imprinted with a degree of exactness and brillian
cy which no imagination can comprehend. It will
probably bo six months befnro tho discovery is ready
for tho public. Mr. Hi)!, in order to show that ho
can produco more than ono color at onco on a plate,
says ho hus produced several portraits, one of a la*
boring man, with a sunburnt face, very red checks
and lips, blue eves, auburn hair, tho cravat red and
blue; all the above colors aro developed with truth*
fulness. A collection of small paints, red, yellow,
blue, and combinations of these, farming seven shades
of red, as many of yellow, three of blue, five of
green, three tmtß of purplo, malting in ail twenty*
eight tpcs, all of which he has on hia plate to tbe
very tmt, except the chrome yellow, a color which
he has tho most difficulty with, but which he thinks
he can overcomo. Tho discovery, if it should turn
out.as stated, is a very interesting and important ooc.
We are assured, by a gontloman orthis city, who has
seen tho .specimens, that the discovery is genuine,
and that tho colors taken have tho samo force and
brilliancy as Is exhibited In nature. He says no*
thing can exceed, the beauty and perfection of theso
colored impressions. — Phil. Ledger.

•Wheatland, (near Lancaster,))
April 10, IBal. }
Mydeaeeirst I have received yoor kind loiter
of the 2d instant, with the resolutions adopted by
tnc Central Southern Rights Association of Virginia,
inviting me to address the association at such time
as may suit my convenience, and to counsel with
them “in regard to the best means to be adopted in
the present alarming crisis for the maintenance of
the coostitmton and the union of the States in their
original purity.”
I should esteem it both a high honor and a great
pnvilcgo to comply with this request; and there
fore regret to say that engagements—which I need
not epecify—render it impossible for mo to visit
Richmond during the prosed or possibly the oext
month.
The aosociatiou do mo no more than justice when
attributing to me a ftrong drsirc “for the mainte
nance of the constitution and tbe union of the
Slates m their original purity.” Whilst few men in
this country would venture to avow a differed sen
timent, yet the question still remains, By what
mema can this all important purpose be best ac
complished 1 I feel no herniation in answering, By
a return to the old Virginia platform of State rights,
presenteu by the resolutions of 1793 and 1799, and
Mr. Madison's report. Tho powers conferred by the
constitution upon the general government must bo
construed strictly, and Congress must abstain, from
the exercise of all doubtful powers. But it is said
these are mere unmeaning abstractions { and so they
arc, unless, honestly carried into practice. Like
the Christian's faith, however, when it is genuine,
good works will inevitably ilow from a sincere bo*
her in soch a strict construction ofthe constitution.
Were this old republican principle adopted in prac*
he.*, <vu should no longer witness unwarrantable
and dangerous attempts in Congress to toterfero
with the institution of domestic slavery, which be
longs exclusively to the States where it exists.—
I here would he no cflorts to establish high protec
tive tariffs ; the public monev would not be squan
dered upon i grand system of internal improve*
inemv, genrra! in name, but partial in its verv na
ture, and corrupt m hs tendency, both to the gov®
ornraem sad lo tho people; and we would retrench
our present extravagant expenditures, pay our nation
al debt, and return to too practice of a wise econo
my, so rgscnita! both to public and private pros
perity. Were 1 permitted to address your associa
tion, «r* the C'Mirwoia l should give, and some
oi iho tnpjca I *hoold vi.sr.ae", tiv the boat means
•* for the both o? tho compilation and
ihv union ot tfs*s Stales to their iinain.il puriiv,” and
for the perpetuation of cur areal and glorious coo*
(oderacy.
With sentiments oi repaid, 1 remain,yours,

the personal appearance of Tapper:
I have had a alight acquaintance wuhMr.Tupper,
the poet and proverbial philosopher. From his per*
Booal appoaranco, yoa would scarcely pick him out
of a crowd aa one likely to distinguish himself in
Solomon’sparticular line. He is more genial than,
grave, and a stranger ought expect from him more
wit than wisdom. He is a small, neatly-dressed
gentleman, with the frankest and easiest of manners,
and rosiest and BmUingest of faees—bright-eyed
and early-headed—quick' in movement, and not alow
in speech. Ho has none of the stiff cravated hauteur,
gruSness, and arroganco, of an ordinary John Bull—
not he—-bat comes to usas to his kindred, or at least
a® a gracious ooble might meet his. foster brothers
and sisters /more affectionately* than proudly; -He
greets America with tho-warmestfeeliogsapparentlyi
and if he has ever had any liberal prejudices against
us, they now seem drowned in a tide of more gener
ous sentiment.
