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

rate, wo appeal to the Democratic masses to
stand firm to their own principles, whoever

On Thursday a fine ()cession was presented for
enfcrying a trip 'over .the Pennsylvania Central
'Sal/read: An Invitation was extended by the
board of ..direetors of. the Allegheny Mountain
Health Institute to the gentlenien finni Marty
. the' tate, Inelading 'the rptiviepoper
tad other pinfessionsi,. thiin upon . ..the
top ef_the'sUlegbactles, at Cressen. 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•

still withholds satisfaction for tho bloody massacre

1858, and Paraguay insults our flag, imprisons our

think, was deolared against the latter, but, as yet,
there has been no news that Lopez has been chas

our people now lying in the dungeons there. It is
stated that Mr. Buokalow, who was in the begin

In all these questions there ought to bo firmness,

I am given to understand, will see to it that the

to and pursued. It might be as well, too, that

A large meeti.g assembled hero this evening to

account of his stewardship as the Representative
of this Congressional district. The audience was
composed of a large proportion of our most intelli

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

embraced the opportunity which the present amt.

their meeting. Ills epoech was one of thd most

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

this who can, in candor and truth, question the
soundness of his principles? Who is prepared to

the popular wishes and desires shall be utterly

THE LATE GEN. QUIT/JAN.-A correspondent of
the Vicksburg Soiethron, writing from the reel.
dance of the late Gen. Quitman, communicates
the following in relation to the character of his
disease "The General was one of the victims of
the National Hotel polooning, having dined there
on that fatal day which hoe cost thirty-one per
sons their lives, and destroyed .the health of sixty
or seventy more. Since that day General Quit
man has nothad a well hour. As soon as Congress
adj.urned ho hastened to his home, hoping that
cessation from work and repose in the bosom of
his family would restore him to health. The fa•
tips of travelling.night and day exaggerated his
thump. and when ho reached Natchez he was
compelled to take at once to bed.
"The marriage, a few days afterwards, of his
daughter to Captain Lovell, U. S. N., of the
Water Witch,' revived his outfits—greatly de
pressed by his disease—and he hospitably re
mained up until atter midnight, to do the honors
to the guests with that courtesy and affability
whilst' characterized him. 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. The physicians who attended him, it is
said, perceive in his. disease the unmistakable
effects of arsenic."

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

wholesome Clams find ready sale at the rates

price for either of there articles as yet. Corn oats

The crops in New England never promised
bettor at this season. 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

seemed to enjoy the sport. We shall next hear of
an explosion and tort Ible loss of life.
