The A mer ican mind is peculiarly sensitive in, this respect, - -and we, among the =my. stamp all such attempts ' wish condemnation, as in the' highest degree in . Judean, and inimical to our, republican institu- Aions.

Panel - I%es' lecture. We attended during the evening., and we do not re member ever to have seen the mum look as bril liant. Thepil,tary were brought in by their res pective commanders in companies, and took their seats regularly iree certain portitin of the Saloon reserved especially for them. The subject of the lecture was contained in the incidents of the American Revolution, and a description of the principal battles which were fought during that period. The subject, although very extendet for 'a single lecture, was admirably handled by• the Captain, who with a clearness and, perspicuity that we have rarely seen excelled, made hiniself fully understood by every person in. the room. The Captain's mind teenui,with anecdotes tredve of 'he old school patriots, which, thrown in at different periods of the lectute, made it doubly interestin.g. On Thursday, the Oiwigabarg Greye. who had remained to attend the lecture, paraded during the day through oar borough. and ;sere escorted to the cars on their return home by the National Light Infantry, and the Lideiendeist Blues. On the gime evening the military of the • bOreagb a. gain attended the second lecture of Capt. Pariridge b at the Town Hall. The subject was °the last cam reign of Nap: lion, along with a desc4tion of the battle of Waterloo:* The lecturer illustrated his remarks with diagrams, showing the nature . rd the country and the relative ixisition of theiroops. He -escriled plainly and clearly the principles tipb• • DO which the battle 'vies fought, and in such a minnet that all could Understand him. Upon clo sing his . lecture, he. very feelingly thanked the Military for the attention with which he bad been received, and after-volunteeting his services to give them any instruction they might desire at eny time, concluded by extending to them as a battal ion, as companies, and as individuals, an invitation to visit his Institeitinn- at Bristol; and pledged hilts self to do every thing in his power for their cons fort and improvement. Major.l. H. Campbell, then rose from among the audience and in a short but forcible lipetsch on behalf of the military of Schuylkill County, re turned their acknowledgements for the Captain's l invitation, sod after expressing the satisfact;cyl .they had all felt in listening to the leetures,ended by a cordial invitation to him to re-visit our rtt gion a henever he could Sudit convenient. " The Hall on both evenings was crowded, in ad dition to the military, with•ladies.and gentlemen, who all seemed deeply, interested in the subjects of the lecturer. Upon closing the leettire on Wed nesday evening, the captain paid a very handsome compliment to the drill and discipline of the Juni or company of the Banajton, the Independent Blues, and spoke in flattering terms of their com mander r.:apt. Nagle. This corps is improving raindly,ted we predict that it will soon rival the best tq the State.

From the time Henry Clay first entered upon political life until the present, he has always been the stern and unswerving advocate of democratic principles; and never, through the whole of that period was he.known to change, if we except his vote in opposition to the first United States - Bauk. That was an error, however, which he honestly and fearlessly redeemed in 1816, when he voted to charter another U. 8." Bank, being then con. vinced that It was necessary and indispensable. In the recent debate upon the Exchequer Bill, Mr. Tallmadge, of New York, mho voted against chartering the second =Bank, made the following forcible allusion to that vats,: .. 1 . "Mr..T. relate d the v arious modes adopted by the Government for keeping and .disbursing the public funds. In treating of this subject, anirof the establishment of the first United Suites Bank, he spoke in high terms of Mr. Hamilton, whape mind, at the early age of 32,brought order onto!" chaos. The charter of the United States Hulk expired in 1811, another was established in 1816. That charter expired, and he was one who voted, against re.chartering the banHe recollected well the remark ,which a &nib • hed Scimitar trom Kentucky made to him short biter he had given his vote. 'Sir,' said he, 'there was a young man from the West in Congress, 1811, who vo. ted against :e.eharterinx the old United States Bank, Time went on and troubles came irpcm, the country.. We attempted to get along with= out a National Back, but we found it indiapensa. ble to proper management of the finpuces of the country, and the preseriatiOdota sound and uniform currency. That young man was cote• yjneed.by experience, that the vote he given was an erroneous one, and in 1816, he voted to, 'earner another United States Bank. You have ow voted as that Young man did at firm, against ie.chartering the bank o:int time and experience will, 1 have no,doubt, convince you as they did him, that yon have committed an error." ) . _ . •• And, air, said Mr. T., 1 stand here to ciinfesa that time and experience have convinced me of my error, and to acknowledge that - Mr:Clay, was right." • Massacauscrrs.—A third rittempt,. to elect members of Congress in those districts;here no choico was made at the former trials, Was made in this State on Mondaylast.

The' manifesto of that Convention con tains a declaration of Principles worthy of praise and imitation ! and whatever 'the secret principles of the lesflers of that Conveittien ware, John Tyler had nothing in common with them.

It is now 'evident . that- the patronage, both, of tnigeneral and state governments, this been so perverted as to control legislation' for' the pur pose of keeping 4 polver to the trends of the Execu tive of Peonslyvpnls, and that tbis povier is to be eiriployed to district the democracy of the State, to advance the wishes of TylensM at the' Presi dential contest.'

Commissioners' Dill, sent in on Saturday ladi for which we shill endeavor to Snd room to morrow, is a striking sample of this style of warfare, addressed particularly to the Leg-, islature. How it will be relished, remains to be seen, but it is neither more nor less than en open, unequivocal defiance. The gauntlet id dashed upon: the door of the Capitol, with an emp_hasie which dares the representatives of the people to take it ttp,.and under ab e4lietatioti that they will blench before the executive frown,—that they have not the tome, to wrest patronage from the-hand which so unblushingly abuses it. When affairs are in such a position, it may well be imagined that, the people ere' not' indifferent spectators.
