If the honest members of political parties showed more readineas to Mike the 'Wrongs that deidgning men haviattempted to commit In tie party name, and under , color of the party authority, there would not be such a general belief in the corruption and imbecility of so many of our public fiructionaries.

POPULAR sov EREIG NI TY Daring the Presidential campaign of 1856 there• Was no portion of the opposition party in this country which objected to the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty. It is true that in Kentucky, and in several other Southern stabia, the friends of Mr. FmratoßE, headed by Heurnara liAasuALL, TcDased to acknow ledge it. - Bat the great mass of tho Opposi tion declared that they believed in the doc trine, and only contested it because they did not bellevC that Mr. BtamANAK would faith billy carry It out. This - was the burden of the song all 'through the free States. They said that if ihis doctrine of Popular Sovereign. tyout advocated by the friends of Mr. Btr- CUAKAN was carried out, they were willing to stand.by it. It the speeches of popular ora tors who supported Mr. FREMONT could now be reriroduced, it would be found that they ,all took this grotthd. When it is ascertained, atter full experience, that the pledges made:by the Democratic' party in 1856 are about to be absolutely fulfilled by the ad vocates of Judge DevOLAs in Illinois, and by such nioralheroes esWise , PACKER, WALKER, and others, It is easy to perceive that the Re publicans will find it difficult to resist the con clusion, that the pledges of 1850, however thby may have been disregarded by others, will be entirely fulfilled by these distinguished men representing the masses of the Demo cracy. Hence it is that in many cases the Reliablicans aro compelled, by public opi nionito give up the doctrine of Congressional intervention, and to advance upon that of Po pular Sovereignty. What a spectacle of moral .degradation it would be, if, after the Opposition aro thus ready to come forward and accept the doctrine of the Demo cratic party, laid down at our Conventions, National an' State, for years past, re-affirmed by the Compromise measures of 1850, sancti fied by the repeal of the Missouri line in 1854, and finally laid down in emphatic terms at Cincinnati in 1856, the Democrats under any lead, should avow their willingness to accept the exploded theory of Congressional inter vention l Will the South throw themselves into this maelstrom? Will they welcome a theory which is to turn the halls of Congress into'khowling din, and to make them sub servient and subordinate to the passions of theliour instead of nobly reposing themselies upefillio people in the Territories / At any rate, wo appeal to the Democratic masses to stand firm to their own principles, whoever I favors or deserts them. lummox TO THE ALLIOHANIES . .

Most admira ble arrangements were made, and a special ear from Philadelphia, pieced at the visitors' disposal, 'through the kindly provision of Wx. A. Posren,. Jr., Esq., the Viee-President of the Central Rail road, for the excursion, with all the comfortable re:gaieties necosaary to put into admirable gond humor a select party of about forty geifiensen. Before eight in the morning the excursionists were across the Schuylkill bridge, rapidly whirled along. The incidents of the trip as far as .Altoona ware not of a particularly exciting kind, though sufficiently enlivening to keep the attention awake at all times, and to furnish a fond of plea sant, sociable recollection. A more congenial, cordial, well-assimilated party rarely ever mingled together; and as the train dashed through the scenes of enequalled natural beauty, .the effect upon the enthuslastio feelings of the appreciative opeotatora Was exhilarating in , the highest degree. The whole 'journey .up to Altoona wad rapidly perforined, and as it extended through ten Goan ties, a great variety of objeots of local, as well as of general . interest, were brought ander our no tice. Among the cities and towns en route, whieh we seemed to skim by or through, wore Lancaster, ilarrisbirg, Lewistown ' and Iluntingdon. We crossed and reormwed those beautiful rivers, the Sohnylkill, the. Susquehanna, and the romantic, Juniata. At Altoona the tourists were glad to be once set tled comfortably on terra firms, and to enjoy the hospitable shelter of the Logan HOllllll. This ha- Wry at the groat lonise of the operations of the Pennsylvania R allroad Company is almost colossal in its proportions, and for a town of five thousand inhabitants may be considered a wonderful tam pie of American progress. The Internal eo.nomy of the house is complete in every department, and In all the points of a well ordered hotel, of the first-class, it challenges comparison with any in the great seaboard cities That it should be superior to even the nrst.olass hotels in Europa need not be wondered at, for everybody knows that even the best of these are only tolerable when compared with the noble cam muerte* which abound all over the Union, but it Is very doubtful whether it is not almost superior to even the most celebrated in our great cities. The marvel Is to find such a house, provided with all the elegandes and substantial comforts of the Metal residences, on the sum meet luxurious and P mit of the Alleghanies—on a table-land some eleven hundred feet above the level which we had left only a few hours before. After a good night's rest, whioh was the more enjoyed as the thermometer indicated a temperature of 63 degrees, the excursionists rose, and prepared to make *personal Inspection of the immense net mirk of machine-shops connected with the Cen tral Road. The whole place, in foot, owes Its ex istence to this railroad company; for within : the last eight years there was only a mingle log cabin, (which dill remains, and ought to be preserved) on the site where now ate comfortable homes for several_ thousand people, with all the necessary adjunota of a large town, including a good nowepaper. In a brief and necessarily rapid description, it is impossible to giVe a felt idea of the vast ?milts achieved by capital. and enterprise. The railroad is a monument of solentifm and engineering skill. The arrangements for keeping the road and rolling stook in perfect working condition, are no lees striking proofs of the oompletenels with which me obaninn and Industry can be practically combined. The main building, with which the machine shops are connected, Iles on a line parallel with the railway, and Immediately in of the Logan House. Its extreme length of frontage is nearly a thousand feet, with 'varying widths at different points. The motive power to carry on the various operations of the works is supplied by two powerful stationary engines, built by I. P. Meanie d Co., of Philadelphia, The shafting and banding which convey the power and apply it ir. a thousand ways, were calculated and arranged by BANCROPT Saugus, and work with a porfeetion of regularity which only the highest meohanioal skill could have By means of n transfer table the oars and en `glues afebrought along a sideling from the main track end conveyed to any one of the various shops, wherellto necessary repairs may be carried out. The nisehinellsop proper, containing the lathes, the drilling-maohine, and the various apparatus for manipulating iron, ,is two hundred feet in length by seventy in breadth, There are two emith•shops, a boller-shop, a foundry-shop for iron and for brass, a car-shop, a " setting-up" shop, a Moulding-shop, a paint-room, a pattern loft, and a large storehouse containing a full supply of mate riale to meet any, contingeney , of the road; and yet, with all the ground thus covered with buildings, there is found to be a lack of room; and the company have now in process of erection two largo wings, one of which Will bo two stories high and a hundred and twenty-five feet in length, and the other a single atorY with similar dimensions. The most striking point of interest, perhaps, is the i• Round House," where the locomotives "go to stable." The building is circular, having at the main base a diameter of one hundred and eighty feet, and from the rail to the top of the dome a height oT ninety-six feet. The turn-table, on which the enormous Davy engines can be turned With as much facility as a child's velocipede, is fifty feet in diameter. - Inside this vast building there are stalls for twenty-six iron steeds. In the iron foundry, a blast of-five or BLS tons is made once in every twenty-four-hours. In the brass foundry, in the coarse of a year's operations, fifty tons weight are oast -from old material, sup plied almost entirely by the lvear and tear of the engines and oars, The chimney, which gives draught to the tires of the furnaces, length.* of brickwork, built bastion style, 120 feet in height, with an ex ternal diameter at the base of over thirteen feet, while the diameter of the inside flue is three feet and a half. The briok•work is carried down below the ground-surface twenty-five foot, in - order to reach a solid rock foundation, to give the proper solidity to this important balance-wheel of the whole establishtnent. BOOM idea may be formed of the amount of work required and executed at this point, from the fact that no less a force than four hundred stud fifty workmen are now eon stoutly employed. The officers in oharge of the various departMents of the works form no incon siderable number. La an examination of the many interesting features of the place, every at tention was cheerfully extended by these gentle men. who rendered the 'Oak to Altoona a most memorable feature of the WA. - ' . Tho next stod eat down in the programme was a visit to Cresson, a paint about Sam miles west, and about twenty-two hundred feet above the level of our Delaware. The railroad from Altoona to this elevation• is certainly one Of the greatest triumphs of engineering ever achieved. Gradual as the ascent appears, it is at the rata of ninety-five feet to the milo,or about one in fifty-five. There wee only ono feeling among the tourists on this point. namely, of delighted 'admiration. Several who had traversed the beaten and now familiar roads of European travel emphatically declared that even NAPOLEON'S far-famed road of the Simplon woe inferior to the wouderful path over which the iron steed passed, with as much rapidity as safety. The eolid mountain out througbohe iron rails deoutely laid down, the most plobarerque eceaery, khe most exquisite blending of the beautiful and the sublime—these formed a combination most marvellous, we might have said most over powering. • . • It is usual to compare the mountain scenery of one locality with that of another. We maythere fore say that the difference, as it struck us, be tween the Alleghenies in Pennsylvania, and the Mountains in Switzerland, can be.stated in a sin gle sentence. We do not compete. with Mont Diane, poetically immortalized as "the monarch of mountains," but this railroad, along which we Were whirled, gives us a now point of view. In Switzerland, the roads are in the valleys and the trn+eller, driven along them, looks up at the mountains which surround bin. But, from' the Alleghenies whir& we ascended, we looked down upon the lovely Tallies, surrounded with lofty hills, and Ripely such a succession of scenery we never before had soon. Grandeur and beauty wore charmingly blended. At every new view, of particular attraction, where the scenery was bold ly grand and original, Mr. FOSTER made the lo ' oomotive passe, to permit all to feast themselves with snatches of auoh rare beauty. Nothing so overawing in paint of sublimity, can be imagined without seeing it. We shall not attempt to de soribe the indeseribable. Through a tunnel, about three-quarters of a mile in length, with 210 feet of solid mountain over it, we flew by Gal Steen. This •tunnel is a wonderful structure, and we doubt whether It has anything equal to it, anywhere We wonldgladly have visited Ga!Steen, whore the name of a good man is held in well-merited esteem, and his former residence at Lorotto. But, if time and tide do not wait for mortals, neither does aliiiighty Steam. Inexorably it car ried us on and safely deposited the party at Cres son a little before noon. This place, three Miles distant from the tunnel, derives its name, wo are told, from the well known Buie? Ontsitox, long our townsman. Hero the Allegheny Mountain Health Institute has its locaton, the Company owning two hotels, as many tenements as would elsewhere constitute a town, aed several hundred tierce of land. • Jossrn Perms/L . , Esq., of. Pittsburgh, a well. known prominent citizen and business man of the Iron City, is the President of the Association. Much capital has Imen expended hero, and with very favorable results. A great deal remains to be done, and another year or two will make the place a perfeet bijou of summer resorts. The hotel ac commodation is oapital. Tho grounds around "The Mountain House" are full of attractions. Mr. W. S . . CAMPBSLL, of the St. Lawrence, in this olty, has leased the hotels, and can boast of complete mom, as we found about ono hundred end nfty guests there. Fine scenery, pure air, liberal diet, rural ocenpations, and the easiest and much rapid access from Philadelphia on' one side, and Pittsburgh on the oilier, will make it noceasery,.for subsequent seasons, to enlarge the hotels aniprovide,for the teceptinn of even more guests than are now there. At an) elevation, so high, the air of Cresson is eminently pure and brazing.. There are some fine baths there, the water of 48 deg. Fahrenheit temperature. It is eminently a. Sanitary estab lishment. Dr. It. M. S. JACKSON, the enthusiastic and well-informed naturalist and geologist, who cal &ally, a few yearn ago, started the idea of a Iferilth-retreat on top of the Alleghenies, continues to reside at Cresson, and is physiolan-in-chief to such patients as come to the mountain air to revi vify the spriags of life. Dr. JACKSON, whose own private residence is a couple of furlongs from the lower hotel, isDurator of the grounds, we believe. his own library and geological . specimens aro worth visiting. • , - • . Here, did not time and space press, we might relate how the party, under Dr. JACKSON'S very in telligent and cheerful guidance, went to visit the Springs, on the etriotost temperanoo how they severally drank more or less of the Ithododendron water—how a botanical lepton wee improvised—how a pilgrimage was.mado to the famous Ignatius Spring," the distance to which was represented to he half a mile and a good road," 7 how the road might have been bet ted., and will he, when it is entirely re-made—how the half-mile reminded us of GOLDSMITH S lines And roads Interminably long Seem lengthening no we go""_ how the party found the *water strongly ahaly beate—how they differed as to whether it contain. ad most iron or sulphur—how one indignant editor (generally supposed to be lazy and tired) positive ly gave in within three hundred yards of:the wa ter, on the plea that he had been deceived as to the length of the road, and how Dr. Jecitsott con ducted the party ban to the Mountain Reuse, by a narrow and yet longer path than the fired, and, referring to the time occupied, satisfied all, except the wearied Editor already named, that, from the time occupied, he must have been pretty right as to the distance, after all. N. D. The said Editor continues to affirm, It le understood, that what tho road wanted in breadth, it had obtained in length. • After an excellent dinner at the Mountain Mouse, the party parsed a couple of hours in itine rating about the place, About five o'clock the majority returned to Altoona, still in companion ship with excellent Mr. Foartn. A small number remained at Cresson, from which, early next day, they returned on the through journey to their re. emotive homes. Ono very grateful and well-doserved not was performed at Altoona, on Friday evening, namely, the organisation, under the presidency of Chief Justice Lewis, of the tourists into a "meeting," at which thanks were voted to Mr. Fosren, Vice- President of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, to the directors of the Cresson Health Insti• tute, and to Dr. JACKRON; to Mr. CAMPBELL, of the Mountain Mouse, and to D. R. ltlii,Len, Co., the proprietors of Logan Mouse, Altoona. As these resolutions will be published in our own and other journals, when drafted by the See rotary of the mooting, we only hero have stated the foot that they wore unanimously and grate fully passed. But we must add that the visitors MO under the greatest personal obligations, not only to Mr. MILLER, but to Mr. WALTER 0. Roe, of Logan House, who gratified all their wishes, and actually reamed to anticipate them. Ile is one of the most courteous, attentive, intelligent gentlemen we have over met, and the opinion we thus express is shared, we know, by all the party. .110 has their best wishes and thanks. The Logan House, which the party 'quitted with regret, at noon on Saturday, merits a more de tailed description than we can now give. The fol lowing statistics, however. wilt convey come .idea of its extent and completeness: The whole length of the building 236 feet, depth_ of wings 83 feet, book buildings 158 feet. The principal floor contains 1 dining ,room 140 feet long by 33 feet Wide. East wing contains 3 drawing rooms 28 feet by 34. West wing, 1 gentlemen s parlor, smoking room, and Olin. The centre of Plitt ibithsg.--PittuDitilnA, mmthmr, JULY 26, HA building is two stories high. The wings are four stories high. The back buildings are 3 stories high. The Mendell, 12 feet Wide, extending 450 feet around tho' building,, and is construeted of best styles'of trot work,.,, The second story contains forty-seven chambers, four parlors; six ,bath-rooms, with sold and hot water; and four sets of water-closets. .The third story contains thirty-one ohambora, two parlors, and two hath•roome. The fourth story contains thirty•four chambers. Mr. Tnostas Di/n(I[OMA master builder to the Railroad Corepany, superintended the erection of I the Logan Hoeft). The design, the believe, °rig!- ' noted with Mr. STRICKLAND 'NEARS, Of our Design and building are admirable. A few of the Philadelphia party, (including that soundiheartml gentleman; General ltenvnem A. SCHAEFFER, Senator, of Lancaster, and Colonel KAUFFHAN, Of KAUFFMAN, SCHAEFFER, it CO., of Columbia,) paused at Huntingdon, em route to another part of the State, and regretted that they bad not 'time, on this ocoasiorl, to visit the celebrated Warin Spiings, dim miles from theline of the Pennsylvania Railroad, by an excellent road, the communication being by a good line of coaches. Thom thermal springs aro too well known to need particular description. They have been so well attended this season that the hotel Is overflowing. They are the, property. of General WiLsoE, and the establishment is under the su perintendence of Colonel JOIIX R. HEARD. Beauti fully located in the mountains, they are well fre quented. We close this rapid narrative with the expres sion of our deep sense of obligation to numerous gentlemen from whom we received many and kind attentions. Our parting word is an aoknowledg ment of the courteous attention of R. BnucE PETRIKEN, Esq., Solicitor to the Railroad, at Huntingdon. BY MIDNIGHT MAIL LETTER FROM iiOCCASIONAL.I , Correspondence of The Press.] • The right-of-search duestion has alinost elboiired every other, of late, out of Faille consideration ; again, however, in the circles where foreign, of fairs are most talked of, therobegins to active. inquiry on the many Central American quostiona, whitish some months ago excited much debate, but haVe since been almost forgotten. It is not to be doubted, I think, that the principle which tbo Ad ministration professes to have in view in its nego tiations and agreements with our neighboring §tates and Republics, embracing the centre of this Continent, is unexceptionable. It Is alleged, and with great truth, that while we ought not, because we are strong and they are weak,.

Now Granada still withholds satisfaction for tho bloody massacre of our people upon the Isthmus of Panama in July, 1858, and Paraguay insults our flag, imprisons our people, and hurls defiance in our face. War, I think, was deolared against the latter, but, as yet, there has been no news that Lopez has been chas tised, and the 'chains stricken from the limbs of our people now lying in the dungeons there. It is stated that Mr. Buokalow, who was in the begin ning of the Paraguay quarrel, has instructions how to not in Its present phase. In all these questions there ought to bo firmness, decision, vigorous action, and the Admlnittration, I am given to understand, will see to it that the American policy upon this Continent, which it is desirous of establishing, shall be steadily adhered to and pursued.

' OCCASIONAL. ! JOHN HICKMAN BEFORE THE PEOPLE. (Correspondence of The Press.] DOWNINGTON, July 24,1858. A large meeti.g assembled hero this evening to hoar John Hickman deliver his views on tho great political questions of the day, and to render an account of his stewardship as the Representative of this Congressional district. The audience was composed of a large proportion of our most intelli gent and reaper table °Kona including not only those Who reside in this ithenediate vicinilyi but many from a Considerable distance. His speech was nearly two hours long, and was listened to with marked attention, interrupted at its telling points by enthusiastio applause. A Lecompten meeeting having been contemplated at one time on this evening, at the same hall in which Mr. Hickman spoke, It was hoped that we might have heard the advocates of both shies address the people face to fade. Mr. Hickman announced himself perfectly willing to meet the advocates opposed to him at any time and any place in pub lic, discussion, and regretted that they hod not embraced the opportunity which the present amt. alon might have afforded, bad they not postponed their meeting. Ills epoech was one of thd most telling and able efforts I hive over heard, aid ear. vied oonvitelon to every mind. We have never possessed a Representative who so fully enjoyed the confidence of the groat body of his constituents, alike for the honesty 'of his purpoeos and the, ability with which he (Intones his views. All must concede to him these chorea teristios in a pre.eminent degree. And beyond this who can, in candor and truth, question the soundness of his principles? Who is prepared to proolatm that tho few shall govern the niany*-that the popular wishes and desires shall be utterly overslaughed in the establishment of fundamental laws—that the whole nation, through its Con. gressional Representatives, should4by endorsing Lecompton, have nullified the groat prinziplo of popular sovereigntylupon whioh lour Government is founded ? On tho tariff, Mr. Hickman's views were frankly and clearly expressed, and I believe to the satis faction of all present. Cnraren.

Since that day General Quit man has nothad a well hour.

"The marriage, a few days afterwards, of his daughter to Captain Lovell, U. S.

The fatigue and ex citement of this 000nsinn wore too mush for his enfeebled constitution, and increased his malady so that singe he has not been able to leave his room.

Important Alterations.—A plan is before CouneHs for Fame Important change in the eritux tion of the iiiunioipal offices: The first story of the City Milli at the corner of Fifth and Chestnut streets, is now occupied by the Departments of. Highways and Water in the front part, with runts for the highway and Water Committees. The back part includes the old M3Yor's office, which is now of no use but as an entry to the little coop in the roar, occupied as the police and fire-alarm office. It is proposed to appropriate this floor tethe Water Department, City Treasurer, the Mayor. the Mayor's clerks the police telegraph, (in a much larger room tlian it now has.) together with an office not yet appropriated, but which we suggest ought to bo assigned to the Coroner: The second story of this building ;snow occupied by the Mayor, his clerks, tbo clerks of Councils, and the shy library—a committee-room for Coon elle and an apartment occupied - by Commissioner of Markets. It is proposed to place in this story the City Controller, the Deportment of City Pro perty, the Departmont of Markota, the Departnient of Highways; with a room for the Committeo of Highways, and two small rooms not yet apple: printed. - The next proposition is to take a communkiation from the. Common Council ehambex to the room on the west, which was once tbo (hand Jury room, but is not now occupied otherwise than with paper oases belonging to the City Commissioners, and make of it the Council library room and committee nom, with offices adjoining for the clerks of Conn olly This would displace the Reoeiver of Taxes from the room in which is now.bia privato office, but it is a portion of the plan to give him such en apartment in the principal office at Sixth •end Chestnut streets. It to estimated that these repairs would boat about one thousand dollars. They would cannon trate all the city Offices together, and bring the Controller and Treasurer from the Girard Bank, the rent of which now Cots the city thin thou- Sand dollars per year. •We suppose that the sub jeot will Go taken up at the drat meeting of Conn oils after the redess. . ' . Police Busitten.--(in S attrrilay afternoon, Moor Trate, of the detective force connected with the office of Recorder Enen. arrested Morris Mond on the charge of having robbed a stranger from Wilmihgton, Delaware, named Hugh MoLanghlin, of $4O in money. The robbery was committed' at the Eagle Tavern 103 Spruce street, whore Mond is bur-keeper . The accused was bald in $OOO to answer at court, by the Recorder. None of the stolen money was recovered. Mies Joggers, the young lady who cowhided young Iloyd, ono evening during the past week, an the viotnity of Format and Boventh street, has been hold to bail in SOOO by Aidetman Cullen ,to answer the charge of assault and battety. Wo fully endorse the opinion of,a cotemporary, that if there 'was no justification for this moult, it will servo the perpe . trator of it right to be pun ished. If a woman is actually insulted, and. she is able to chastise her insulter, she deserves credit for doing so but this fantastical sort of femine Quixotism should be left to harebrains -k only. When a young man is cowhided by a woman he is compelled togrin and bear it, whether ho is guilty of any fault or not, and, if he is innocent of wrongdoing, ho should take such redress as the law will give him. A woman who voluntarily un sexes herself by her own condnot has no right to complain if her sox is not taken into considera tion by those - who . seek legal satisfaction for an outrage inflicted. We have heard it stated that the girl was persuaded to the aot by an individual who adopted the plan to get rid of an innocent rival. Piiit of Philadelphia Officials to the Coal Regions —Last week, the committee of our City Councils, having charge of the Girard Estate, ar rived at Pottsville, and took quarters at the Ex change Hotel.

On motion of Morton MoMiehael, Esq.,. of tho North American, the meeting was organised by appointing the Hon Ellis Lewis, President. and Gibson Peacock, of the Evening Bulletin, Secre tary. Mr. McMichael then proceeded to state briefly that it was very proper, and he knew It would be very agreeable to all the gentleman pre sent, that some aoknowledgment bo made to the gentlemen who had exerted themselves so muoh for the gratification of the party, and ho moved that the thanks of the company be extended to William B. Foster, Jr., B:q , Vice President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, for his liberal hospitality, - and the unwearied and successful ex ertions be had made to render the trip a plea sant one. Col.

Indian corn is in fine con dition, of a deep dark green, and luxuriant, and quite as forward as usual. Potatoes are thrifty, and an abundant supply of fine quality is now daily coming into market. If the rot keeps off, the yield of this esculent will he very largo. The crop of i grass is abundant, and is likely to bo cc cured n good condition. A gentleman who has recently been through New Jersey and Long Island reports fine crops wherever he travelled, - and especially grass. The Burlington (Iowa) Gazette, of the 21st inst , contains a descriptive account of racing be tween the steamboats "Keokuk" and "Tisho mingo," and the "Ben Campbell" and " Keokuk." The boats wore crowded with passengers, and all seemed to enjoy the sport. We shall next hear of an explosion and tort Ible loss of life. On Saturday morning a well-known citizen of Baltimore, named John Yarringtom was in jured on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in such a serious manner as to amuse his death in a short time thereafter. The deceased was engaged in the capaelty of a ociagotor upon the railroad. . s::=1
