See to this matter at once. Let every voter
examine the Assessor's list personally, and if
hia name is not there, call upsn the Assessor
without delay. Many votes are lost at every
election by reason of neglect or carelessness in
this respect. Remember that no one who may
be 22 years of age or more, when the election
comes on, can vote without having been assess
ed at least ten days before the electiou. The
matter must be attended to between this and
Saturday, the 4th of October. After that day
it will hr too late.
A typographical error haring occurred
in the communication of Mr. Alox. Scott, as pub
lished in yesterday’s Pott, we print it again to
day, by request, corrected.
jpga- We have received from our old friend,
ffiim.v McMillan,' (formerly of BlairsriUo.
and now at Portland, in Oregon Territory,
several numbers of the “ Oregon Weekly Timet*,
printed at Portland, for which be will pleas** r->
accept our thanks. .
ggg»We would again6 all theattention of aii vo
ters to tiie necessary alteration in our ticket, art-1
especially to the peculiarity of the ticket for
Judges learned in the law. By tho recent Act
of Assembly, passed April 16th, 1851. “ The
electors shall vote for Judges of the Supreme Court
on a separate piece of paper , and for other Judges
required to hr learned in the laic on another sepa
rate piece of paper." So that, by the express
words of this legislative enactment, all the three
legal Judges of our Courts are to be embraced
in the one ticket, which will be folded so that
their three names and office shall be concealed
within, and the ticket endorsed on the outside,
*« Judges of the Courts of Allegheny County,
required to be learned in the law.’ It mcy
be remarked, as the result of this direction
as to form, that without .particular care an
the part of the voters, it is possible that a
President Judge of the Court of Quarter Bess—
ions maybe elected without the Associate Judges
who were intended to be associated with him—
inasmuch as the tickets are neoessarily on a
separate piece of paper. All, therefore, who
.are anxious for a particular President Judge of
that Court, will look out for the Associate Judg
es whotn they intend to act with him.
We were informed, the other day, that the
Whig candidate for Recorder, on a late visit to
McKeesport, upon being told that a very re
spectable voter, who attends to "the Ferry in
that vicinity, had become a Democrat,--he hav
ing heretofore acted with the Whigs,—very con
temptuously exclaimed, 41 Well, you could not
expect such men a 9 ferrymen to be anything else
but Locofocos!”
We wonder how many of the draymen, steam
boatmen, raftmen, foundrymen, and laboring
jnen;generally, are less honest than thesprig of
• -aristocracy who could make use of an express
ion like this ? But it is not wonderful that real
Whigs give utterance to sUch expressions as
thisi for suoh is the spirit of the old doctrines
of their party; and such is the tendency of all
their measures now. The true Whig office
hunter, therefore,— though he may from policy
ibid bis tongue and not utter his real sentiments,
is expeoted to hold all men in the humbler walks
of life rather at a distance: because his office is
expeoted to bring him into contact with the
wealthy banker, real estate owner, merchant,
manufacturer, &c.; and if he should be recog
nised as sympathising with the poor and toiling
thousands, he will not be regarded aB fit to com
mune with the elegantly dressed and .perfumed
few, who can perhaps boast a greater number of.
dollars than the poor man can of cents; butwho,
amid all his toil; is-the strong protecting arm of.
the community, whether that arm be . raised.
against 1 mob violence, or extended to prostrate
the invading foreign foe.

A THOROUGHBRED WHIG
The following account of the great feat per
formed by Mr. Hobbs we extract from the Lon
don Globe. It is brief, but comprehensive. Wo
shall only add, that the committe appointed to
make the award have unanimously agreed that
Mr. Hobbs is entitled to the sum promised for
opening the look ; although the strict letter of
thh challenge, sent forth by the proprietors of
it was not literally complied with. Whether
this will be paid, it is with, the Messrs Bra
mah to determine: but we suppose that they
will do so, in view of the decided tone of sev
eral of the London papers in relation to the
matter: —
The American picklook, Mr. Hobbs, has ac
complished the opening of Bramah’b patent look,
but in such a tray that at present it is not deci
ded whether or not he haa entitled himself to
the reward of £2OO promised by the Messrs.
Bramah to the successful picker. A few weeks
since this gentleman accepted the challenge of
Mr. Chubb to pick one of his patent locks, and
in a very brief period succeeded in opening it
with common picklocks. He was then challeng
ed by Messrs. Bramah to experimentalize on
what had been impregnablo locks, and
was promised a forrclt of £2OO if he should
succeed in opening it. In order that the trial
might be made, commissioners were ap
pointed to decide upon it, and 30 clear days
were granted by. Messrs. Bramah to Mr. Hobbs
for his operation. Mr. Hobbs went to work,
but in a few days suspended bis operations, al
leging the weakness of hi* instruments. As
soon as others had been prepared he desired to
continue his attempt, but to this Messrs. Bra
mah objected. The commissioners, however, in
terfered, Mr. Hobbs resumed his labors, and in
about a fortnight opened the lock. The com
missioners met on Saturday, but separated with
out coining to a decision. Their report will, it
is expected, be published in a day or two. With
reference to Mr. Hobbs* lock in the Exhibition,
aod the reward of £5OO offered to whomsoever
qhflU pick it, no one up to the present time has
come forward to accept his challenge.
pggF» Mr. Owes, tho American Consul at Ha
vana, has been highly censured for bis inhu
manity to the unfortunate prisoners who were
attached to the expedition under Lopez ; and we
think he is deserving the condemnation of every
one; but a higher tone of indignation should be
expressed against the President, who holds this
language in his Proclamation of April lost:
•* Now, therefore, I have issued this my pro*
c arnation, warning all persons who shall connect
iJ.r.mselves with any such enterprise or expedition , in
violation of our laws and national obligations,
that they will thereby subject themselves to the
heavy penalties denounced against such offences,
and mil forfeit their claim to the protection of this
government , or am/ INTERFERENCE in their be
hatf, NO MATTER TO WHAT EXTREMITIES
they may he reduced in consequence of their illegal
conduct."
Messrs Harper and Layton :
In yesterday’s Post, appears an old memorial
to the Legislature deprecating the übc of extra
judicial oaths. Justice to myself, and to the
order of Freemasonry, requires me to state the
circumstances under which my name was ap
pended to that paper. I was not then an attend
ing member of any lodge, and therefore not
properly posted up os to their affairs. Under
this circumstance, this paper was presented to
me by a high mason—one whom I had often seen
in the lodges seated high above me, distinguished
by th| red, and who assured me that this memo
rial was prepared with the approbation of emi
nent brethren, and calculated to benefit the
order. I gave my name more on his asssurance
and responsibility than from any vigilant exami
nation of the contents by myself. But, it was
not in my view that this memorial should be
used as a fling at the order of Masonry. Had
this effect occurred .to me at the time, it would
not have obtained my signature. Yoars, &c.
ALEX. BRACKENRIDGE.
September 26th, 185 L
Proposed Division of California.— The Los
Angelos Star, of August 2d, recommends that
there be held a convention of the Southern peo
ple of the State for the purpose of politically
severing the lower from the upper portion, on
the ground of the inequality of the laws govern
ing the two sections and unjust partiality
evinced by the last legislature in various enact
ments.
Later from St. Domingo!— We have, received
from St. Domingo, files of La Gaoeta, the official
paper of the government, to the 17th alt. The
political news is hot of great interest, bat it ap
pears that the Dominioians ore making prepara
tions for on attack of the Haytiens, with whioh
they are threatened. ' The country/was enjoying
great tranquility, ahd its progress' Is remarka
ble.
The necessary tendonoy of a free Constitution
is to establish order, both within and without,
for the interest of the human race. The necessary
and unremitting tendency of an abitr&ry govern
ment, is to regulate everything, internal and ex
ternal,- so as to promote the personal interest of
those who govern .
FABSitRO Inconsistencies.— Farmers dig their
gardens two feet deep hut only plow their laud
fiye inches. They' take especial - care of their
hag horses in a gdod' warm stable, but expose
their farm Horses and cattle to all weathers,:—
They deny the utility of drainage in strong te
nacious clays, but date not dig an underground
collar in such soils, because the water, would get
in. They waste- their liquid’manure, but buy
'giauo'from'Pertt 'thfr loss.: •
than criminal apathy and indifference. He
sought, even after the treason, after the murder,
to excuse the octs he had himself encouraged.
But tlie United States authorities, meanwhile,
had taken tho matter boldly in hand—had de
clared the act treason, and full 48 hours before
the date of the Governor’s proclamation, hod
most-of the parties arrested. The occurrence is
one of very deep misfortune. Its enormity can
not be palliated. Justioe can now only be done
by tho most.rigid execution of the law, and the
Beverost punishment of the offenders. Gov.
Lowe, of Maryland, in a patriotic letter to the
President upon the subject, hns placed the mat
ter in its true nnd proper light; and it is to be
hoped has not in vain invoked the power of the
federal government to punish the violators of its
enactments.
The recent yacht racing in England, in which
the gallant little “ America" achieved so proud
a triumph, continues to be dwelt upon by tho
journals of Europe, as nu event of far more than
ordinary importance. The American press may
therefore well be excused for its share in the
general glorification We had been soundly be
rated by our old friend, Mr. Bull, for our com
parative failure in the exhibitions of the Chrys
tal Palace, and the fact that our ocean steamers
and clipper ships were beating the pride of Eng
land, palliated but slightly in Mr. Hud's opinion,
the apparent shortcoming on our part in the
great arena of arts and manufactures he had
provided for his own glorification. Something
more was wanting. The pride of the English
orislooracy was centered in their great yacht
squadron, owned personally and direoted by the
proudest nnmes of tho nobility—the Marlboros
and the Anglesey's. With 17 of these—the pick
models of English naval architecture—the
America, a yacht of no celebrity and fame, come
in contact, and won an easy victory over them,
carrying the stars and stripes in proud triumph
over Brittonia,
“ Who»< ttaa ha» oravt-,1 a hou»a»d yenr». il f umle
aad ibe breexe, 1 ’
beating her In her own seas, and in the presence
of her queen and court. This is indeed some
thing to be proud of, and the London journals are
greatly mollified since the occurrence. They
acknowledge the defeat, and attempt to treat it
with pleasantry, but their ears evidently tingle
at the mere mention of the name of the \ ankee
schooner. So universally is it regarded as a
subject of national pride, that Mr. Hives, our
Minister at Paris, has addressed a letter of con
gratulation to Col. Hamilton, in which he desig
nates the 2*2nd of August as destined to take
rank among the glorious days of our national
calendar, demonstrating anew, as it has to Eng
land, our naval aptitudes and prowes, and
the position we claim as a candidate lor the
permanent ascendancy of the seas. Our poor
show at the Chryßtal Palace he regards as a mat
ter of very trifling moment. In this achiovment
there is something tangible—something lastingly
effective.
In one of my former letters it was said that
Judge Kelly would not conseut to become a can
didate for tho Court of Common Ploas against
the regular nominees of the l)cmi>cratic party.
That had better be unsaid at once. He has con
sented to the prostitution, notwithstanding his
written pledge to tho Democratic Convention that
he would not be a candidate unless receiving tho
nomination from them. His case is a melancho
ly one, and equally exciteß ourpity and contempt.
He is still a young man, and is solely indebted
to his party for his position. That position he
has dishonored, and while disappointing the ex
pectations of his friends as to his abilities, he
has not sembled to make even his decisions sub
servient to-his personal aims. He has now ac
cepted the nomination of the Whigs, the nomin
ation of the Natives, and the nomination of the
Working Men, and it is barely possible that he
may be elected; though the whole community
must deplore the placing of a weak political
trader in so elevated and responsible a position.
One suoh man is more dangerous than ten Jef
freys.
The reoent prompt refusal of Judge Lewis, at
Lancaster, to entertain an application for a Ha
beas Corpus in the case of the Christiana offen
ders, with a view to procure their discharge,
while they were awaiting a postponed hearing,
before the magistrate is everywhere applauded,
and adds another to the many instances which
have secured for him so enviable a position among
American jurists. Some of his decisions, and
among them those in relation to the rights of
married women and the legal obligation of the
Sabbath observance, have been generally hailed
as the dawn of brighter ideas on the Bench—tho
admixture of a trifle, more of common sense with
common law, and of reason with the solemn Btu •

Look to it well, fellow citizens. Vour surren
der supposes you ore partially dissatisfied, and
what is comparatively little to the great good
which your acquiescence and ardor—for all the
nominations will help to achieve. This whole
government is one of concession. If it were
not so it could not exist a day, or it could only
exist as a mockery and an admonition. It is
the great glory of tho Democratic party, that,
next to the Constitution itself, it is probably the
most effective organization in favor of popular
liberty, that the world has ever seen. The
members of that party have made it so, by their
devotion to the majority, and by their enthusi
astic attachment, to its principles. And now.
when hundreds of thousands of onr former
political adversaries attest, by the acknowledge
ment of its patriotism, its incomparable value to
the country, why should anv Democrat hesitate
a moment to strive with all his might for the en
tire Democratic ticket. * 1
Surely the cry of “ Ineompetency," raised
against a portion of the State ticket nominated
at Harrisburg, cannot mislead you from tbe rper
formance of your plain and honest duty. Let
us remember those that make this charge were
among the very first to concede ability they now
blindly deny. We do not desire to draw in
ridious comparisons in such a place, between
and Whig candidates, bat the Demo
crat who hesitates when this charge is made,
should reflect that the very partisans who fulmi
nate it, have repeatedly solicited votes for the
highest offioes in the country, for those who were
confessedly incompetent Again, a charge is
made that a portion of the same ticket is cor
rupt. And. even when this is made, the samo
presses and politicians that resort to it, invoke
your votes for ,Judicial candidates tainted with
the bod odor of exploded bonks and wanton de
reliction of official duty. To erase one name
from the Democratic standard, is to aid tho very
party whose lenders arc now opposing an im
perilled Union nud a threatened Constitution.—
!u a recent address we euforced, at some length,
the necessity of tv Democratic Judiciary in a
Democratic country; but in no aspect is that
necessity more imposing than in the relation of
the Judiciary of the States to the rights of the
States, and to the enforcement of ths obligations
upon eaoh member of the confederacy to observe
the rights or all. This is Democratic doctrine,
and it should be written on the hearts and mem
ories of all our countrymen as the first politi
cal lesson that a republican should teach his
children.
Let the Democrat, when appealed to “trade
off” his vote, by obcosatioua agaiost certain of
tbo Democratic Judicial candidates, recall the
fate of all fabrications that ingenious malice has
invented against the representatives of Demo
cratic principles. The alleged “ incompetency”
of JACKSON, who believes it now ' The “ ob
scurity” of JAMES K. widely and vehe
mently asserted ; has it served to make his glo
rious administration less worthy of the venera
tion and the gratitude of posterity? Hot? glad
the authors of the attacks upon FRANCIS R.
SAUNK ure to bury the recollections of those
attacks in the deep bosom of the ocean ! Tried
by time, tested by the ordeal of impartial expe
rience ; the pure metal is rendered ten times
purer when subjected to the seven times heated
furnaces of persecution; and calumny itself won
ders at the utter poverty of its resources when
Its inventions lire exposed. The future will es
tablish the trnth in the history of the Democratic
Judicial ticket; and when the rittien In other
days observes with admiration and pride how
nobly bow righteously—how fearlessly and how
calmly—the high duties of the highest Judiciary,
ore discharged by the gentlemen now before us,
as candidates for-that tribunal, he will wonder
at the malignity 'which sought to impugn the
ability, oapaoity,. integrity and experience of
BLACK, CAMPBELL, LEWIS, GIBSON and
LOWRIE.
Call it what our opponents may, then, fellow
Democrats, adherence to your nominations is ad
herence to your country, to your State, aud to
your own best interests. Heretofore, your ob
servance of this rule, so jußt and so safe in all its
aspects, has conferred unnumbered benefits upon
your Commonwealth; but now, not only will its
vigilant observance aid Pennsylvania, but eon
tribute to the preservation of the most glorious
government devised by man since the world
began.

For ihu Morning Post
PITTBBUBGH, Sept. 20, 1861
Messrs Hari-eb <£ Layton;— •
Gentlemen :—I notice in the "Wayneaburg
Messenger,” (which is copied in Whig prints,)
the re-publication of the alleged frauds in the
Collector's office at Pittsburgh, under the ad
ministration of Gen. Levi G. Clover.
These oharges have heretofore been treated,
by both Gen. Clover and myself, with silent con
tempt—but as the ropublicationof these base
slanders is intended to affect the eleofcion of a
prominent candidate of the Democratic party,
at the ooming election, (who, by the bye, should
not bo held responsible for the conduct of oth
ers,) I de@m it necessary to state, in short, that
there is not one word of truth in the communi
cation referred to, and that we are ready and
willing to meet the charges at any time they are
legally presented.
At the last session of the Legislature, there
was not any specific charges made in reference
to this matter, and the house refused to take the
action desired by the petitioners, which was, in
effect, to have an investigation, (ot the expense
of the Commonwealth,) of a matter in whieh
there was not any charge preferred. The mem
bers considered it os a-mere matter of persecu*
tion, and ob such treated it, having every con
fidence in the integrity of the persons under
whose control the Collector's office was, at that
time. The insinuation as to Gen. Clover in en
deavoring to suppress an investigation of this af
fair, when at Harrisburg last session, is as base
as the author is contemptible: for it is a well
known fact, (of which the writer is well aware,)
that the General desired, and woe anxious that a
committee to investigate Bhould be appointed.
Yours, respectfully, A LEX. SCOTT;-

The Eight Kind of a Coa*ul.
A Canada paper commenting upon the late
summary massacre of Americans at Havana,
says that the impression is prevalent that had a
British or French man of war been lying in the
harbor, as was the United States sloop of war
Albany, and had a British or Frenoh Consul
been in the oity, such a wholesale massacre of
British or French subjects would not have ta
ken place. It then relates the following anec
dote :
In 1820, two English sailors, who had com
mitted a crime in Havana, wore about to be
shot. They were clearly guilty, but the British
Consul insisted that they should be tried. This
the Government refused. The Consul remon
strated, and the Captain-General became inso
lent. The hour of execution came and the Con
sul wsb on the spot; he brought with bun the
consulate flag, the British “Union Jack,” and
again earnestly remonstrated, but in vain. The
offioer on the plaza was about to proceed in the
execution of his duty. The Consul finding all
further remonstrance useless, placed himßelf in
front of the men, unfolded the Union Jack,
which he threw over the kneeling prisoners, and
said, “Now, shoot at that flag if you dare !”
They were remanded to prison, and that night
they esoaped.

of the track is the same os the Erie Railroad,
and it will be run for the present by the engines
and cars of that Company ; but as an independ
ent road. The distance from New York, to Can- 1

are in progress to extend this road to Niagara

that the road will soon becompleted.— New Cat

Every one has observed the whiflkers of 4 ? .
bnt few, perhaps, dream that they serve any val
uable end. The following passage will prove
the contrary:—Every one must have observed. .
what are usually called the whiskers, on it cat's,
upper lip. The use of these m a state of nature
is very important. They are organs of tonoh.
They are attached to a bed of close glands under
the skin, and each of these long hairs is con
nected with the nerve of the lip. The slightest
contact of theße whiskers with any surrounding
object, is thus felt mostdistinotly by the animal,
although the hairs of themselves are insensible.
They stand out in each aide of the lion as well
as in the common cat; so that from point to
point, they are equal to the width of the animal's
body. If we imagine, therefore, a lion stealing
through a oovert of wood, in on imperfect light,
we shall at once see the use of these long hairs.
They indicate to him through the nicest feeling;
any obstacle which may present itself to the pas'-
sage of his body; they prevent the rus
tle of boughs and leaves, which would, give
warning to his prey, If he were to attempt to.
pasß through too close a bush, and thus, in con
junction with the soft cushion of his feet, and,
the for upon which he treads (the retractile claws
never come m contact with the ground,) they,
enable him to move towards his victim with a
stillness oven greater than that of the snake,
who creeps along the grass, and is not peroeived
until he is coiled around his prey. —Library of
Uttful Knowledge.

Cornelia, at New York, from Smyrna,- reports
that previous to the departure of the Cornelia, ,
bands of robbers had infested the villages in the
vioinity, waylaying and seizing merchandise and
other kinds of property. On Saturday, thel9th
of July, they seized R. Van Lennop, Esq., Dutch
Vice, Consul, while walking with his two chil
dren to return to their home. They then de
manded for his random 80,000 piasters, which
by negociation was reduced to 50,000 piasters,-
$2,000, and paid. He was theh set at liberty.
The Turkish Government will doubtless take
suitable measures to bring these lawless banditti
to justice, and restore security to the lives and
property of the people.
In the Marine Court, in New York, on
Tuesday, was tried the case of James Hunter
ys. L P Savage and S. Church. This was an
action to recover damages for ill treatment on
board the ship Kalamazoo, while on her passage
from Liverpool. The plaintiff was surgeon to
the vessel, and the defendants are captain and
mate- On the 16th of August, a difficulty oc
curred between the parties; they pat the plain?
tiff in irons and confined him to his cabin until
the vessel arrived m port on the 4th September.
For the defence, it was alleged that plaintiff had
used irritating language to the officers of the
ship and interfered with their authority. ; The
Court awarded the plaintiff $4OO damages.—
This is the third suit brought against the par
ties, on similar grounds within the last fort
night ; in one of tho two formerjiases the plain
tiff was awarded $4OO, and in other, $4O.
