To the menshant;the agriculturist, the pliant
eiorinalift,,the artisan, and In short the groat mass
our people, the gradual progress of American
manufactures constitutes a theme of the'deeOest
'interest.. , The annual encroachmenta—if we may
'ace the term—Which our intelligent manufacturers
have been making from year to year upon the pro
ductions of foreign markets, has boon so steady,
yet eo ripid„that the MOMs in this oountry have
in a measure failed to'reallse and appreciate their
imPortanee.- Time was when the trick of palming
off American niannfaetured goods as foreign by
the use of 'Salamis labels was so generally
practised by, our, manufaeturers as almost to
`beget doubt. "in.. the mind of the Ines

genuine' article of purely American manufacture
at all. We are glad to see, however, that the
tables ere being turned, and that in not a few in
'stances our transallanife competitors have found
it profitable to copy after Sonathan's idiosyncrasy
in this respect and label goods "American mann
faotUre." :'thal are manufactured abroad, To .Ull
the, Atilt retierting to such deeeption bee

not be an unsafe prodiotion to say; that the child

their goods as any other 'than American than a

fOorrespondenee or The Press.]
Wdenararox, August 23
The most lovelyeeason for travellingie upon us ;
and. Washington Is' never more agreeable than it
is in September. It is one of the healthiest and
wealthiest of all our great cities; and one of the
moat agreeable. , There is still vast'ground for im_
proiement here; 'the area of the pity is extensive ;
the plan was comprehensive at the first ; and much
remains to be done; but still it Is a Most inter
esting spot to visit. There are many of our people
who prefer spending the hot months at home, and
to travel in September and October. To such I
would, recommend a trip to Washington. The
hotele are very good;' the sights - novel and nu
merous. Living as Ido here, in my,quiet room,
even the summer has passed by . pleadantly.
•I have, always bad enough to see and to
comment' upon. I haie never lacked company
or gossip. I could every day fill the blight pages
of The Press with "items," if it had been neces
sary. Indeed, I know no better place, in the long
run, than Washington. It is true I have had
some difficulty to preserve my snivrkaito, and once
or twice have enjoyed the delicious feeling spoken
of in Walter Scott's Introductory to Wavorley, of
hearing myself praised, whilst your humble repre
sentative smoked his eigar,•and rather accepted
than rejected the tribute. But then, again, I have
been abused, too, to my face, by some of my beet
friends; who would have bit off their 'tongues be
fore they allowed them to wag against Me. For
all this, I enjoy Washington.
One of my chief enjoyments at this time is
reading the National Intelligeneer, which has
brushed up vastly within a few months past Its
editorials ere now only surpassed by those of The
Press. The Intelligeneer wields a deserved in
lame in general polities.
The editor of the Louisville Democrat, in a late
number of his' paper, speaks of his meeting Mr.
Stiphens, of Georgia, as follows
"The Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, of Georgia, did
not hesitate to declare, when in this city, the
other day, that he was in favor of the re-election
to the Senate of..ludge Douglas, and that he re
garded the war by the President upon the anti-
Lecompton men of Illinois as wickedly foolish.
Mr. Stephens Icing a Southern "man, is at
'labe-ty to express his feelings freely."
Speaking of this, why do you not reprint your
article of about this time a year ago—that which
gave Mr. President Buchanan so much joy—at.
tacking Col. Keitt (of S. C.) for his personal ar•
sanit upon the powers that. Were? I never shall
forgot that article. Xeitt,•yon recollect, was at
the White Sulphur Springs, Va., at the time you
wrote, and your reply reached there before he
left. Then you were doing great servies to your
old friend, the President. 'Hut strange to say, no
body here attacked Keitt for what be said against
Mr. Baehanan. Mark the difference ! Stephen A.
Douglas has barely differed from Mr. Buchanan
on a political question, and has been respect ul in
all this- difference; and for this he is sought to be
driven not only dut of the pale of the Demon ratio
party, but out of the pale of decent society ;
and you, for • daring to be true to Mr. Du
charien's own' principles, are hounded and
hunted by • every knave who is ready to
sell his soul to Lecompton, and who eon.
selves he is paying toll at the gate that
opens to 'the official heaven by abuse of you. But
Mr. Keitt, who spoke of Mr. Buchanan, in August
last, as a it hysterical President"—who denounced
his Administration as a " paralytic Administra.
tion," and . who .laughed at his Cabinet as a
"shivering Cabinet," • and as a "Cabinet of
Mates"—Mr. Haiti is just now not only in power,
but he is the fashion. He was so, indeed, a few
weeks after all these fierce adjectives. He is ono of
the most acceptable of all the train at the White
House, one of the most earnest defenders of the
Administration. And why? Lot him answer in
his own words to the people of Williamstown, S.
C.. in a letter lately written :
"As for himself, so long as he was to the
Union, he was for discharging every obligation
that devolved upon the State or the citizens of
the State. Twelve months ago he advised ad'
versely ; but now he would say, sustain Mr. Bu
chanan's Administration. Ile went to Washing
ton at the beginning of last session resolved to
oppose the Administration but when he got there
he found Mr. Buchanan upon the platform of
the Synth. It was then be determined to sustain
the President cordially and ingiudgingly."
Twelve months aro The Press, and "Occasion
al," and Howell Cobb, and J. S. Black, and all
your "office=holders, stood where The Press and
" Occasional " stand to-day.' And yet Col. Keitt,
who was then abusing all of us, is on the party to
day, and only those who refused to come over to
him are out of it.
Bat puere—le there not some hope for you, after
Col. Keitt is forgiven, - flattered, and fawned
'upon? He is, it is true, a Southerner, which
makes a deal of difference against you.
There can be no doubt that John Van Baron,
who Is now' abroad, is quietly but earnestly
pressed for Minister to 'England. He leaves the
factions of the Empire State behind, but his
friends are at work for him. He has great claims
upon Mr. Bssehaima's Adealnistration, having al.
ways been his too.
Since Mr. Buohanan's return from Bedford he
does not hesitate to speak of the fact that, in
looking around him, he is sorry to find so many
mercenaries and camp-followers in support of his
policy. He has doubtless, more than once said:
"I find the men who have been 'my enemies all
my life, each as Mr. Phillips, Whole personal
assaults upon myself have been kept by for years,
and who la now ready lo go for Mr. Dallas in
1860; as 'Carrigan and Witte, who had to bo im
plored to support ins on 1856; as Strickland, of
Chester, for whom I have always had great per
sonal contempt; as Bigler, whom I refused to oak to
my house, when, in 1851 be mane to Lancaster;
as Bennett, of the New York Herald, who even Ira.
dueed mo more infamously than john Hamilton,
the surveyor of Phlladainhla as David R. Porter,
who boasts that he defeated me itt Baltimore In
1848 and 1852; as Charles R. Buokttletv, whom t
have appointed to tits exclusion of Brewer and I. B.
Blaster ; . as ion. R. Chandler and Mr. Spencer, who
did not vote foi me in 1856; as Owen Jones, in
Montgomery; as Wilson Reilly, In Franklin; as
George W. Bowman, in Bedford ;- as Charles She
ter, In Allegheny; as F. W. Hughes, in Schuyl
kill; as J. M. Porter, in Northampton, ko.—l
find all such men my friends now." And, deubt
tees, also, he asks himself, why are these old foes
my Mends now? Answer—Because my old friends
will not support Lecompton, and will not agree to 1
oppose' Judge Douglas; and because these, my old
enemies, will !
Mr. Buchanan was fond of contrasting the value
of friendships in old times, end of saying bow he
would do if ever he mounted to the Presidency.
Let him recall kis past judgments of men and
things. It will not hurt either himself or history.

The following noble letter epeake eloquently
for itself ;
WEST OIIIESTRa, Pa., Aug. , 1858.
, Gasxmcgmr: Yours of the 14th instant, invi
ting Me to address a mass meeting of citizens of
the Ninth Congressional district of Now York, at
Tarrytown, on the 21 of September, to concert
measares for the re-election of Hon. John 13. Hos
kin to Congress, is before me, and, notwith
standing my arduous labors in my own district, I
oan scarcely refrain from a promise to accede to
your request.
If there is any Northern Democratic Repre
sentative in the present Congress deserving the
confidence and support of his constituents, Mr.
Baskin is that man. His stern and unwavering
resistance to the most dangerous attack yet made
upon the principles of free Government—the Ex
eoutive effort to force" a slavery Constitution, in
defiance of law, upon educated freemen; his
manly and patriotic appeals in defence of the
pledges of his party, and his untiring devotion to
the public interests, should insure his re-election.
Again has the voice of the people of Kansas
been heard in denunciation of fraudulent mi
nority Constitutions and Congressional injustioe.
Neither bribes nor threats have been powerful
enough to corrupt or intimidate them. They are
still true to themselves and their guarantied
rights. Let us hope they will ever remain so.
Kansas, as far as her upplierition for admission
into the Union is concerned, is now just where she
was two years ago. Shall she be admitted upon
fair terms, or must she submit to Inequality ? By
the enactment of the. English Bill, the Senate of
the United States, the Home of Representativoe,
and the President, have declared that her present
population (say forty thousand) is sufficient to
make a slave State. Is it not sufficient, then, to
constitute her a free State? If not, what becomes
of that equality under the Constitution, of whiob
we have beard so mush said by Southern states
men? To argue, under the circumstances, that
Rams shall remain in her territorial condition
until she obeli have a population equal to the
ratio of. representation, is to keep her out of the
Union until she shall number at least ono hundred
and twenty thousand inhabitants, and to admit
that, in political power, one pro-slavery man is
equal to three free-State men. To submit to this
would be to acknowledge that we are, indeed, but
mud.sills." This must not be done. Kansas
must become 'a sovereign State without a census,
or we suffer humiliation.
The battle for the right in Kansas remains to
be fought. In such a struggle as is likely to weer,
Mr. -Baskin would be invaluable in the House.
The voters of your district can only do Mr. Raskin,
themselves, and the countrY justice by returning
him to the next Congress by an increased majority.
Such a result would be a signal and deserved re
the demagogues

The treaty. betwoon the United Statis'artd Ve

.Amerloan klinliter;'with • the late Administration
of this couritrYOnd whiCh' was • approved by the

and by thO'Senate of the • United States with a
slight modifloation in one artioro, has now,,lt is
said, been atoepted by the new Yenesizellan
ministration with that modification.
The journals here have published several con
tradiotory reports about the appointment of
new United States Minietor to this country, that I
have not seen in any, paper from the States.
Mr. Tar,* is the only person mrintioned as the
successor of Mr Eames, which I _myself think
probable, for though I was under the impression
that Mr -Duokalew would be Sent to this country,
I see, that hp has been appointed to Epuadorr, The
editor of the .Dirtrio, Bailor M. de Brloeno, who
has just returned from Washington, unsuccessful
in his mission to settle the Aves Isiandreolama-
Hon, makes; in hie paper, the following remark
on the subject '
"We should bellefe that the appointment of
Mr. Tarpin, if it was not already made at Wash
ington, mos in pectore when the revolution broke
out in Venezuela. It is well known that Mr.
Eimes, during the days of the revolution, acted
the part best suited to his policy, with the object
ing of obtaining a satisfactory settlement of the
Aces question for the United States"; consequently,
without committing himself in the protocol imbrog
lio, he favored the Vonezuellan Minister's views
of the subject, who appears to have imagined
that the United States would probably give • this
Government a moral aid, which is oven yet waited
for. Mr. Eames was in sympathy with the popular
feeling during those days. It was expeeted that
the elder sister might ;voted Venezuela, but her
representative seems only to have kept in view
his own business, the Ayes question. Of course,
everything hail been ollieially communicated to
Washington. It is natural to suppose that Presi
dent Buchanan May have in the meantime post
poned the ilppoihttent of Mr. Turnip. The set
tlement of the Ayes question, we are assured, will
teach Washington on the 29th inst. It is not
likely that Mr. Eames will be recalled before the
time considered necessary at Washington to son
elude the whole matter definitively. It being of
mportance to the United States, not only in ro•
ipeot of money, but especially in regard to the
sprinciple involved."
Thus far the Diario.
Its remarks, undoubtedly, are complimentary to
Mr. Eames, to whom they attribute the diplomatio
*skill to accomplish his objects without committing
himself or his Government. The intention of the
editor, however, in hie present circumstance, may
have been unfriendly.
The convention invites Gen. Pact to return to
his country with all his titles, honors, and deco
rations. The resolution will be presented to him
by a committee to be appointed by the President.
General Menages is still deprived of his liberty,
notwitketanding the protocol and Castro's promise
to givnhim his pass Ott.
The Priglibh and Munch Charges insist upon hie
delivery, but the Convention who are to decide the
question, have not yet acted upon it, while the
commander of the English man-of-war Tartar,
Captain Dunlop, on the 19th inst., held a meeting
of all the Britsh subjects at Laguayra, on beard
his vessel, to communicate to them that the pre

The following is an extract from the report of
the Executive Committee : •
To the Young Men's Christian. Association of Phi
ladelph in.—Dear Brethren: The Etecntlve Commit
tee of the Associat , on, having In charge the devotional
Meetings hold in firemen's halls, and elemihere, beg
leave to report, that the committee hue been duly or
ganised, and is nOtl , actively engaged in prosecuting the
work committed to its charge Every effort_ le now

the field ocmtpled by the aaeoolation will be so large
an to employ the whole of the - active force of the so
ciety That portion of the volunteer, force not
specially in charge of meetings are being arranged in
bodies of live or alxond directed to the aid and support
of the various meetinge in progress, until they ate ap
pointed to special charge of the exercises
_in halls
which will be shortly opened to us. During the heat
of the summer, flame meetings have fallen off in inte
rest, while others have been suspended, hat notices
have been sent in to the commit , ee that these" meet-
Ingo which have been suspended will be renamed
in the early part of the coming month. In view of
the prospect of the work during the coming fall and
winter, your committee have thought proper to call
upon every member of the Assmiatton to volun
teer his services • to this end cards have- been printed
and distributed 'in the pews at this meeting, upon
which every member of the Arsoclation disposed to
work is requested to put his name, residence, and the
denomination aul church to which he belongs. This
call the committee earnestly hope will bo promptly re
scinded to. whether the brethren have volunteered or
pot upon any former occasion. Your committee, in
looking over the debt which has already been occupied
by tbem, are led to wonder and exclaim, Glory to
God for the inspiration vrblah , ptompted this Amoeba
lion to exertions In behalf of the eternal interests of
firemen ; for such bee been the result et this move
ment, that even tbo most negligent observer mast
have noted that the idea wail not only inspired
by the holy spirit of God, bat that the benign in
fluences of the same spirit have attended the work,
even in the Most Unpromising localities—and where
there has boon no conversion there is yet manifested a
potent Intlilente, moulding the hearts and minds of
thous who Attend the nieetinge, for greater and more
powerful operations of the quickening and enlightening
spirit of God. The writer of this report regrets that
i the whole body of the leporte from the subordinate
committees cannot be submitted to. the Association,
for in the reports there is an abundant amount of
touching and tolerating incidents calculated to
brighten the hopes end quicken the faith of the
follower,' of Chr:st, and point them to the realization
of that beautiful prayer, "Thy kingdom come, Thy
will be done on earth as it is in Heaven." Any one.
reading three various reports in fall, will find. gleam
ing brightly and clearly, tho true Christian spirit and
a true missiovary seal. Here, your committee wend
take the opportunity of bearing their testimony to the
elnaiensy end self-eacrificing spirit of the brethren eon
ducting the meetings to the hails of firemen and else
, where; and congratulate the world and the chunk' upon
such an amount of moral force being exercised in the
building up of the cause of Christ. for there never hes
been a time when suck a number of " young men who
are strong' , were standime up for Jesus, and doing good
service as soldier,' of Christ.
Your committee regret that but a tithe of these very
interesting reports can now be laid be'ore tholAssocia
Von, on account of circumstanees beyond their control,
and principally for want of time properly to embody
them in this report; but it is the hope of the com
mittee to collate these interesting incidents in another
form for distribution. Pufficlent will be presented,
however. to demonstrate that the labor of this asso
ciation has not been in vain in the Lord. and that
the Holy Dpirlt has put Its seal unmistakably upon our
work.
After very interesting remarks by converted
members of the Spring Garden Diligent and Hu
mane Hose Companies, the meeting closed with
devotional exercises.

The Ferry Staissease at Niagara -The
Rope Burned: and Cat' Rushing Down.
Everybody who ever trusted himself to the
sharp grade of the ferrystairease; as that 'rope
unrolled itself, on whose strands' strength hie life
hung, has 'exercised himself in 'calculating: to
what degree of destruction his physical nature
would be crushed if those fibers should sepa
rate. The experiment has recently had an un
expected trial, and the result is worthy of record
for the -comfort of the adventurous. - In the
month of March the Ferry House took "fire
and in the conflagration the rope burned, and
a oar rushed the fall length of the steep traok,
and wont into the river unbroken, almost without
a fracture, instead of being shivered into frag
ments. Tho reason seemed this: the weight of
the chain which is attached, and which serves to
steady the kraft, operated as a break, and the car
was taken through its fearful journey by-this
regulator in safety. It is a trial, whieh_in its
pleasant result, will give assurance of security that
will calm the mind, while the body is relieved
from the interminable stair journey —Cor. Cod

nseerea that the Chicago brokers were too fact in de
nouncing Wisco'eln bank money. The railroad com
panies in that region are out in a card agreeing to re
solve those notes, among the signets being the Illinois
Central, the Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne, and Chicago, the
Michigan Central, the -Chionsocilte Paul, and Von do
Lan, and the Mississippi ant Now Orleans Railroad
Companies. The St. Louts Republican says there is
not $30,000 of the money of these Wisconsin banks in
Chicago, sod charges that the sole object of the outcry
woe to discredit all Wisconsin money, buy it np from
the timiland frightened at a depreciation, and repro•
duce it for circulation when the panic thus created was
over• The Republican adds :
In the Hat of those who sign this circular' we see
the names of some first-rate speculators in ~ .wild-cat'
and mad-dog , currency, In past years, and it done seem
somewhat farcical to Mid them attempting to proscribe
any sort of bank-note issues—lexst vf all these based on
the faith aril credit of the various Sintes of the Union.
Oar advice to therm who may happen to. have any of
there notes Is, to hold on to them—to keep dear of the
brokers, and to wait until they get par for them, cc they
aro sure to do; and, as It is alleged that come of the

PRAYER HERVINOS AT - JAYNE'S HALL. -7 To
those iehlapred!cted the waning of the revival, with a -
diminution- of -the attendance at the various daily
prayer-meetings, at the commencement of the warm
rftather, the present accession to these union gather
ings for social worship is really surprising., Notwith- .
standing that ourynerchants are new busily engaged in
the trade which Is opening, the central prayer-meeting
forbusinssa men; at Sayne'S Hall, finds at the return
of each rippointed hour that immense ream well _nigh
tilled with worshippers. The meeting there yesterday
woe one of unusual Internet Several gentlemen were
there from different section of the country, who made
statements of theynegress of this work in their renter:-
tire localities—Washington,'New EngLaneornd several
p aces in central Pennsylvania The opinion was ex
pressed by several, that in many of the rural districts
help was needed, and that it would be well for the
Young Men's Christian Association of the eity to take
the matter into consideration, and, if partible, devise
comer means whereby the edictal:lcp of that useful or

Burn', Nunintr, Co —From an gd
vartisement in another part of our paper to-day, it will'
be seen that the long-established house of Smith, Mur
phy, k Co., No. 237 Market street, Is now offering to
the trade a froth - stork of staple and fancy dry geode.
To their numerous friends .in business, here and else
where, it will bo pleasting intelligence to learn that this
well-known firm is again prepared to rernme the busi
ness in which it has been so largely engaged for marry
years The fact of their former stork having been much
reined hes had the effort of giving their present sup
plies a degree of freshness which their old patrons and
buyers in general will not fall to appreciate.

MRS. PARTINaiON AND TUE "OLD DONtiNION."
" What in the name of reason are you looking for!"
said Mrs. Partington, as Ike Mood on the flour-barrel,
and rummaging on the upper shelf of the closet among
the bottles and paper bags and boxes, these accretions
of years sad housekeepery. She had to repeat the
question, se a mended China mug, that had been long
an (Sense to the eye, fell from its porch and smashed
into a thonmnd pieces, more or lees. •" I want some
thing fern mine," replied he, pulling away among the
debris. '• What, something of yours?" said the dame,
mistaking the noun for the prou-poss, in her limited
comprehension of grammar. "No, mina," shouted he
at the tap of his voice. tt Goodness gracimis, who do
"on mean?" said she "1 meen," replied he, t• that
want something to make a mine of for the Fourth of
Joe, ju, 1-1, July The dame thought a moment.
Well," Bald she, as an Idea armed her mind, reveal-
log itself upon her face as we have seen the sunshine
chasing the shadows like dark - wolvea over a meadow,
"you may lake the big cone-pot, we never shall want
to use that again sine we have got the Old Dominion "
It seemed like extravagance on her part, but the fool
ing was not the result of et thusiasm, but froln judg
ment' formed from actual use of the new coffee-pot in
troduced to the public, and her judgment 'we cheerfully
endorse as sound. The Old Dominion is bound to away

A GENERAL RACKET.—A feature in the A tlanti
cable celebration, at Syracuse, was the array of fifteen
huge locomotives, of the Central Railroad, with their
bells ringing, in the heart of the city, and at intervals
making the welkin ring with the shrill scrinms of their
whistles At Cherbourg there are to be eight thousand
cannon fired at once when the imperial couple go there,
aid in Philadelphia there is to be a continued demand
for the now garments at the Brown S' one Clotting Hall
of Bockhill A {Taman, Nos. 603 and 605 Chestnut street,
above Math.
POLITICAL.—Just now groat activity pervadoi
the political world; delegate tlectiona are being held,
candidates nominated, and ono would think the affairs
of the world generally were to be attended to and ad
jumted, see unda,m Orient. Amid all the attendant hustle
and confusion; We pnr.ine the even tenor of our way,
eccmionally admonishing our fellow-citisens to buy
their clothing at E. E. Eldridge's "Oki Franklin Hall
Clothing Elope) Wm," 3210Iwstnut street. At this
fashionable mart may be - found the largest, best, and
cheapest assortment or ready-mode and piece goods, of
the latest styles, ever offered to the public.
THERFI is only one way to deal with a stubborn
man, which is to overwhelm him with other facts more
stubborn than he is. If he thinks that he knows the
best tailor in town, wh cse clothing is of the best mail*
riala, inquire if he speaks of Granville Stok.P. If he
says aye, why take him ate. ce to Stnkes's, No. GOT Chest
nut street, and :et him buy a new suit If be insanely
imagines that some other tailor is as good, compel him
is go at once to Stokes, where he will find everything
to please him, and own at once that he has been stupid
and perverse, and did not know what was good for him
Stokes will do that same in abort order.
