FRIDAY, JULY 15, 1859.
Russia and France.
There is a secret understanding between
Russia and France on the abject of the pre
sent war, if there be not a regularly-executed
treaty. Russia would not aid France, we
know, unless the Czar hoped to gain by it.
ALEXANDER has a grudge against Austria
because that, during the Crimean War,
though nominally neutral, Austria sent in her
troops to occupy Wallachia and Moldavia,
which occupation continued all through the
War. France, also, has grounds for quarrel
with Austria. Reading the Future by the
Past, what if France and Russia think, as NA
POLEON and ALEXANDER thought, in 1807, of
dividing Europe between them?
When none Las, late Emperor of Russia,
was the last time in his life in Warsaw, during
the Crimean; war, be happen 4 to pass near
Lazienki, where is the statue ot the Polish
king SOBIESKI, which shows him trampling
the Turk under the feet of his horse. The
iron-hearted Czar stopped at once, as did all
his suite, and after a pause he uttered a mono
logue which has been thus reported by some
persons present at the time ; 4 c He was a great
king and great warrior—that king SOBIESKI,
only he committed the gravest, the most per
nicious error, in saving Vienna—that nest of
treacherous snakes ! Another great man pre
pared his doom by the union with Austria,
which he ought to have annihilated. This er
ror he expiated on St. Selena, and this was
the gratitude of Austria which he had so many
times under his feet, and ever pardoned, mag
nanimously pardoned ! At last I myself was
stupid enough to help np that snalto from the
dust, to warm it at my heart's blood—to save
it from imminent death ! Ingratitude to Po
land; Austria first invaded the Polish territo
ry, and gave the signal to the partitionof that
country. To repay NAPOLEON, Austria turned
her force against him when he was in the most
critical situation, and depended on her alone.
And now the Austrian army is ready to fall in
my flank when I have to struggle against so
many odds."
In such angry words the stern White Czar
gave expression to his rage—rather important
at that moment. Pat as every thing in Rus
sian politics is calculated for centuries, as the
famous testament of PETER the Great is every
year nearer and nearer its execution, so we
may depend that the words of Count ORLOFF
in the Paris Conference were no idle boast,
but rather an indiscretion of an angry diplo
mat. He said, "Austria has to pay the cost
ot the Crimean campaign."
Austria, as everybody knows, is an agglo
merate of the mast heterogeneous national
elements. It is composed mostly of the Sole-
wait population, held together by German
craft, inherited from the traditions of the Boa
etas and the Spoßass, and studying deeply
in the book of Meours,verm—a work, by the
way, of an honest man, who gave a lifelike
portrait of an Italian prince, his contempora
ry. By the entangling and crafty adaptation
of the old adage of the Ca 94.11,5, " of
impfra, 3l Austria has brought each of the na
tions composing her vast dominions against
the others; so, also, districts, classes, persons,
are placed in collision or mortal fend with
others. So the Apostolic Government quietly
enjoys itself, ready, at any occurreire 6 e, to
send the Poles against the Italians, rod.tbe.
Italians against -the Poles. Just - now, the
Hungarians and Croats, the Bohemians and
Sclavonies, the Gallicians• and Trannsylvani.
ans, are battling against freedom in Lombar
dy, while their own native countfies languish
for liberty.
In the 37,000,000 comprising its population,
only Austria proper, and a part of Styria and
Tyrol are German—say, at the most, 3,500,000'
Lombardo-Venetia, 4,000,000 Italians ; the rest
are all of Belavenic race. Bohemia, Gallicia,
Silesia, the whole mass of Hungaria, with
Sclavonia, Serbia, Croatia, Dalmatia, Carnia,
and Carr:dole, (Illyria,) are populated by the
Selavonic race, speaking mostly a language
like the Russian, and mostly of the same
(Greek) religion. The dislike to the Ger
mans, common to them all y links them with
Russia very intimately—particularly so from
the time of the Russian intervention in the
Hungarian war, when Austria, after having
incited the Selavonic populations and arming
them in a savage civil war against the Hangs-
Hans, cheated them all, not fulfilling one letter
of the most liberal promises made to them
daring the struggle.
When we look back through the eight cen
turies of the existence of the house of Haps
burg, we see it constantly busy at the work of
deception or bloody struggle against any idea
of progress, any religious or political liberty.
Under CNABLES 7, it had overawed the whole
of Europe. The Hussite war, the war of the
thirty years, the extermination of the Bohe
mian nation, the Seven-years' war, the wars
against the French Revolution, and against
NAPOLEON, when Austria regularly hired her
troops to subserve the interests of despotism;
in each and all of these Austria played a
prominent part. Every where she paid, with
the most abject ingratitude, those who saved
her in a thousand battles. We have only to
MEW WALLENSTELN, murdered by the orders
of the Emperor when he was no more wanted,
and done SOBIESKI, the good Kim; of Poland,
who, against the most manifest rules of poli
tics, refused the crown of Hungaria, and
helped Vienna. Immediately after, Austria
refused him winter quarters in her dominions,
and repaid with rank ingratitude him who
had saved her from the Turks.
After the partition of Poland, Austria in
herited a part of the mission and the politics
of that nation, winch puts her naturally in an
tagonism with Russia, making of her the only
barrier of Germany and Constantinople against
Russian aggressions. Russia sees it clearly,
and is on her guard. Russia undermines the
Austrian influence by her emissaries,` a very
active propagandism of Panslavistie ideas, and
many secret societies which prepare the
ground for the realization of the great Stla
vonic Empire. This influence, organized cm a
gigantic scale, and very aysternatically and
perseveringly adhered to, has a powerful ally
in the. Greek Church, the language, and 'the
general antipathy against Germans who eon
itantly cheat and oppress them, exacting for
taxes the last resources of the poor and harm.
less, but improvident population. The last Elan
garian war, putting these elements in imme
diate contact with the Russian forces, and
showing the power of the White Czar, literal
ly destroyed all the Prestige of Austria, and
raised Russia. The present Italian war, so
thoughtlessly provoked by Austria, may prose
the truth of our assertions.
In all the nations there is a tendency of
concentration, which is, so to say, the charac
teristic of the nineteenth century. Itly,
Germany, Scandinavia, are each striving , to
unite in one body. The loose Polish and
Russian elements are riveted together by the
iron will of an Autocrat, who encompassesthe
whole Sclavonic population in his Past
4cheme.
The idea of Panslavism, of union in one
body of all the Se.lavonie populations divided
now in Austria, Turkey, and Prussia, isnot
new. It was put forth secretly by PETER the
Great in his testament, and afterwards vas
publicly avowed by CATHARINE 11, who gave
her two grandsons the historic and signifitant
names Of ALEXANDER and CONSTANTINE. Mre
remember alto a Caricature of that thno,ro
presenting this &mamas, or rather Mena
line de Nord, standing with one foot on the
cupola of Petersburg, and with the other on
the Great Mosque in Constantinople. This
was called cc The Imperial Step."
If we take 60000,000 of Russians 'and
Poles, subject to the Russian empire ; 20,0(10,-
000 Sclavonians in Austria, 28,00,000 in Ter.
I key, and 6,000,000 in Prussia, we have a large
aggregate of 120,000,000 of people, speaiiicg
the same language, and bound together byithe
links of sympathy. The Emperor NICHOLAS
cherished that idea very dearly, and made
vigorous steps towards its realization. Russ;
like America, has nothing to lose, and may
gain every thing from the time. One century,
or even less, may be sufficient for the realiza
tion of that colossal idea.
On the other side, the decentralizing repub
lican tendencies which manifested them
selves in the great conspiracy in the Russian
army in 1825, put forward the same Selavonie
idea, but wished to form, of all that mass, a
kind of Federal States, united, like our own
great Republic, with the loose do of a Fede
ral Government, but independent at home as
Nations or States. This idea was condemned
by the hand of nenow, and its votaries
(FESTEL, MotatAvisrv, and others) expiated
on the gallows the presumptiOn of struggling
against the Autocracy. But it lives among the
masses and all the secret societies throughout
Austria. Turkey and Prussia propagate it vi
gorously. The conclusion of it is, therefore,
that whether Russia is to remain an Autocra
cy, or to take another form of Government,
her tendency will be to unite in one body
tile whole of the Sclavonie race of 120,000,000
people, from the Polar and Baltic seas to the
Bosphorus, Archipelago, and the Adriatic!
Nothing in European history has been more
wonderful than the advance of Russia within
the last one hundred and fifty years. When
PETER the Great ascended the throne, in
1089, his only seaport was the half—frozen one
of Archangel. Russia was known to Europe
as a vast and barbarous country, without
civilization, power, or influence. The defeat
of the Swedes gave Russia her first harbor on
the Baltic. After that her territorial aequisi
tionS ensued. First came Livonia; then, by
the partition of Poland, in 1773, the Russian
frontier was extended to the Dwina and
the Dneiper ; after that the Russian standard
advanced to the Crimea and the Sea of Azoff ;
then vast portions of Tartary brought Rus
sia into Central Asia ;—in 1788, the Crimea
was claimed and occupied as Russian, as
were the vast plains between the Euxine and
the Caspian to the foot of the Caucasus :
in 1792, the Treaty of Jassy advanced the
Russian frontier to the Dneister and gave the
harbor of Odessa to the Czar ; in 1713, Russia
secured Lithuania ; in 1794, she annexed
nearly half of the old Kingdom of Poland -
)
and even the Treaty of Tilsit secured her a
portion of Prussia, which she still holds.
During the conferences of Tilsit, in 1801,
when NA r moo, in the battle of Jena, annihi
lated the fabric of FREDERICK the Great, be
ing not yet infatuated with the Xetternich
idea of marrying an Austrian princess, he
proposed to ALEXANDER to divide Austria and
make two Empires of the whole of Europe.
There cannot be any doubt of this. ALISON
says, cc To Russia was assigned, with hardly
any limitations, the Empire of the East.
France acquired absolute sway in all the King
doms of the West; both united in cordial hos
tility against the maritime power of Great
Britain. Turkey, in consequence, was aban
doned, almost without reserve, to the Russian
Autocrat. To the cession of Constantinople
alone, NAPOLEON would never agree, and ri
valry for the possession of that matchless
capital was one of the principal causes which
afterwards led him on to the desperate chances
of the Moscow campaign." At St. Helena,
NAPOLEON said of the Czar, cc All his thoughts•
are directed to the conquest of Turkey. We
have had many discussions about it; at first, I
was pleased with his proposals, because I
thought it would enlighten the world to drive
those brutes, the Turks, out of Europe. But
when I reflected upon the consequences, and
saw -- whiCaffernendous weight of poorer it
would give to Russia, in consequence of the
numbers of Greeks in the Turkish dominions,
who would naturally join the Russians, I re
fused to consent to it, especially as ALEXAN
DER wanted to get Constantinople, which I
would not allow, as it would have destroyed
the equilibrium of power in Europe."
This, conjoined with the German sympathies
of ALEXANDER, put an end to the Tilsit
scheme, But the testament of Purge, the
Great fostered the idea of conquest. ALux-
ANDER actually had all the necessary informa
tions, surveys and plans leading to the Eng
lish possessions in India. Since that time
Russia has made fine progress in that direc
tion. Had the great Sepoy mutiny taken
place a little sooner, and Russian ofgeers Ord
artillery had been sent there, what would have
become of the Anglo-Indian Empire? Nero-
Leon's eagle glance saw this, long ago. He had
concocted a plan, with the Emperor Pan,
grandfather of the present Czar, for the Rus
sian invasion of British India, to which France
was to have given 30,000 picked troops, and
10,000,000 francs, in order to purchase camels
and other requisites to cross the desert. The
invasion was to be by way of Persia. The
assassination of PAUL put an end to this
scheme.
The Treaty of Tilsit allowed Russia to pur
sue, without molestation, her conquests over
the Swedes and the Turks. Thence, in 1809,
the Treaty of Stockholm gave her the whole or
Finland, as far as the Gulf of Bothnia. The
Treaty of Bucharest, in 1812, extended her
southern frontier to the Pruth, and included
the mouths of the Danube in her dominions. In
1815 Russia added the Grand Duchy of Warsaw
to her territory, which has brought her within
180 miles both of Vienna and Berlin, without
the intervention of any defensible frontier to'
either. The Caucasian campaigns annexed
Georgia to Russia, and, ever since the fall of
the Great NAPOLEON, the Russian Empire has
acquired an absorbing interest on the Black
Sea and the Dardanelles. Really, more is to
be dreaded from ALEXANDER II than.from NA
POLEON 111. That astute politician, Nero-
LEON the Great, said to LAB CASAS : " Show
me RA Emperor of Raaeia, brave, able, and
impetuous—in a word, a Czar who is worthy
of his situation, and Europe is at his feet."
Add to thls, that Russia can be invaded only
during three months in the year, and can in.
vado during twelve, and her commanding po
sition is obvious. •
Tt..eturn to Austria. During the feverish
period of 1848 the Sclavonic idea manifested
itself by a Congress in Praz of the repre
sentatives of all the Sclavonic population of
Austria and Turkey. It was interrupted by
the bombardment. But the idea is stronger
than brute force. It works always silently
but steadily. Even Austria herself took
up that idea to rouse the Croats againkt
the Hungarians, and save. Vienna and the Im
perial crown, by the hands of JELLACILICK.-
to be saved, and hang her defenders after
wards.
During the Hungarian insurrection, Lord
PALMERSTON repeatedly expressed in Parlia
ment the idea that England can by no means
allow Austria to fall. He was right_ Austria
is indispensable for England to support the
mock equilibrium of power in Europe—to
hire her armies in all contingencies to the
English interest—and certainly if a general
war is the consequence of the present turmoil,
England will probably back Austria. But if
there.be a rent understanding between Russia
and Fiance, the hours of Austria are count•
ed—her sands of Empire will soon have run
down into the eternity of the Past.
Is there any other reason for the existence
of that heterogeneous agglomerate called
Austria but to support English influence and in
terest in Europe 7 That profligate, tyrannical,
unscrupulous, utterly demoralizing Govern
ment must fall through the force of its own
craft and treachery. It is entirely undermined
by Russia. It is bankrupt. It is detested
alike by the Hungarian, the Pole, the Italian,
and even by the Viennese. The great drama
of two Empires now being acted in Lom•
hardy, with the world for an audience, will
decide all.

Dr. J., W. Francis on Benjamin
FrAnklin
On the Fourth, the New York Typographical
Society celebrated the Fiftieth Anniversary
of its organization. The speech of the day
was that delivered by Dr. J. W. Famicfs, the
veteran author and physician. In his « Old
New York," published in 1857, this veteran
gave agreeable and instructive Reminiscences
of Sixty Years—commencing with his own
childhood. In energy of character, extent of
knowledge, variety of information, and agree
able way of communicating it, Dr. FRANCIS
much resembles Dr. FRANKLIN. With much
appropriateness, his address to the New York
Typographical Society bad FRANKLIN, a
printer by calling, for its subject. Dr. FnAu-
Cis spoke as follows :
AsAwczates of the 'i'yyographical Society
of New York
GENTLEM ttN : I am happy to be of your number
on this memorable omasion, and cheerfully unite
with you in commemoration of the 50th anniver
eery of the society since your first organization.
I am tolerably familiar with your early history,
have enjoyed pertional communion with many of
your prominent membere, have marked your pro
gress, and now eengratul ate you, in all sincerity,
°A 019 strong hold you moiptein among your fol.
low-associations. and the commanding foundation
on which you at present rest, Almost yearly,
from your bumble commencement up to the present
hour, your march hes been onward ; you reem se
to have conducted your transactions es to have
proved sumeseful operators in the great design
of rendering your fraternity worthy of the
mighty name you bear. You have sustained
an honest rivalry in the career of doing good•
Like the illustrious - Franklin you have as a '
body practically enforced those principles of
action which signalized the great philosopher
in his individual life, and the habit of industry,
the axioms of moral obligation, and the en.
larged philanthropy which charaeterizzd the Sage
in all his doings, would, I apprehend, upon close
icquiry, be found to be the very agents by which
you have built up the Typographical Society of
New York. I can at least affirm that I know
practically as a charitable institution you have
not forgotten the Aliened poor and the disconso•
late of your noble craft, and the generoris bounty
distribumd by your hands has often alleviated the
distresses of your unfortunate mei:there Your time
ly aid has repeatedly bound up the broken heart,
restored lustre to the dim eye, and given vigor to
the feeble limb. In seasons of pestilence, when
that direful scourge the yellow fever has invaded
or people, your bounty bag alleviated the calami
ty, and many of the appalling scenes originating
from the AFiatid cholera have 'been removed by
your charitable interposition. Let me ask, then
what higher claim to a recognition among the
most worthy institutions of this groat metropolis
eau you possess than the proofs you S 3 repeatedly
give of disinterested benevolence, which I have
again and again become acquainted with as
your medical counsellor, in emergencies in.
volving life and death. I tell you, you stand
well in relation to that vast subjects. Charity
You cherish the old Knickerbocker tendencies.
This is all right; you act in harmony with the
place of your re-idenoe, and you cannot change
your locality. But -I see ether demonstrations of
your wisdom and of your benevolent nature.
You bare very properly concluded that the phy
-6:0%I. condition of man is not to net satisfied with
the mere preservation of its ordinary functions;
to this organic life is superadded a divine essence;
that you have thought worthy of culture. Man
could not live by bread alone, and hence to
ennoble our speoies and cherish his higher attri.
butes you have, by a wise forethought, and unti
ring effsrt, secured, for the benefit of your asso
ciates, a library, now of commanding considera
tion, both from the character of its nooks, and
the numbers which fill your shelves- This sup
plementary work is demonstrative of the excel
lence of your early plans of beneficence to others.
and herein you have imitated the doings of your
illustrious Franklin. He founded the first library
in the Colonies but be forgot not the organization
of the Pennsylvania Hospital.
Summoned within a very few brief hours to meat
you on this great National Anniversary, I frankly
tell you I am somewhat perplexed what to do.
The Day of Independence is blended with the
histtory of the world's progress. It is the ncond
redemption of diaenthralled man. c It is eeseciated
with the prominent achievements of Franklin,
and millions of tongues at this vary hour will con
nect his acts with those of the Fether of his
Country, and echo his name throughout the Re
public. There is indeed, no orator in the land.
whatever be his ingenuity, who can forbear to
cite Franklin if he recounts fairly what properly
belongs to the occurrences of this epoch in our
nation's story • This seems to ma to - be an argu
ment of sufficient force to let the patriot and
the great statesman be committed to the petit'.
clans and the public men of the day. They
will not omit to entwine the wreath of glory on
the proper brow, while we, keenly sensible of
the worth of our liberties, of the price at which
they were purchased, and of the noble army of
martyrs sacrificed to rescue us from degradation
and servitude, give, as is our province, to the Solon
of our nation the eulogistic strains which awaken
the divinest emotions of liberated and triumphant
America. Let the fathers of our Holy Religion,
and the promulgators of the Gospel of glad tidings,
from the sacred desk, with all the weight of ea
°tat authority; emsounce for the benefit of the
rising youth of the country the itetemelete in
tegrity of the great American Datriot, and tell the
people that the maxims of Franklin are to he
heeded as the Wisdom of a second Solomon ' • let
the statesman preolairn the ma g nificent ideasthat
fast entered the breast of our illustrious sage, the
Union of the Confederacy, and its mighty is
sues. Let the political economist satisfy him
self, that whatever may be his views of the
wealth of natione, and the means by which it
is to be secured, that Poor Richard is an in
dispensable study to secure the blessings che
rished in imagination in his most favored doc
trines The mines of a nation, says the glorious
sage, aro but a shovel deep. Let the philanthro
pist, who labors, like another Howard. with the
seared obligations imposed on him by Heaven. in
his sequestered and unnoticed paths of service,
never target. while he alleviates sorrow, that the
example of Franklin, in his industry and in his
frugality, furnishes provision against defeat and
want, and thus enriches humanity with the spirit
and the power of independence. Let Franklin bo
united with Locke when the humanist descants on
that vast behest—religions toleration Let the
men of every profession, scholars and artiste of
every grade, tell, in unrestrained aocente, when
in the height of their laudatory exposition of the
dignity of human nature, that we turn to our
Franklin as the highest and the most effective ex
ample of what man can achieve by the faculties
which God has vouchsafed to him, and that
the humble printer-boy has secured, by actual
service. the undying plaudits of a people who, by
peril and by energy, have secured an immortality
among the nations of the earth; that his sagacity
has reared up her moral structure, his counsels
consolidate her Union, and that his wise fore
thought and unerring judgment have led to tri
umphs unparalleled in the records of all former
time. You will perceive, fellow-members, from
the little that I have already uttered, how vast is
our theme when speaking of your association, and
of that name with which It is india - pliably blend
ed ; and you may further learn, as I pass over
this briefly so many important toplos. that I am
compelled to be sententious even with the few cir
cumstances that press upon cur notice as applica
ble to the occasion which has brought us hither.
have on more than one occasion considered
Franklin in a philosophic disposition of affairs.
The opportunity now at command does not al
low of any special enlargement of the Subj tot
in this hour of hurried business. Ent when I
echo the sentiment of a thousand minds, that
the American sage stands without a parallel in
the annals of typography and of philosophy in the
broadest acceptation of the term, you will be in
clined to think I entertain very far from a limited
opinion of the value of our association, and of
the banner under which you assemble If I mis
take not, yours is the first , organization in this
country, chronologically speaking, of a society
whose avowed objects aro such as your charter sets
forth. I am, therefore, nocesearily induced to re
strict myself to that portion of Franklin's life
which is more intimately associated with the ty
pographic art. This seems to me to be our
duty of to-day. Let the great anniversary—the
Fourth of July—be committed to our national era-
tors. Let more than 20 000.000 _souls, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific borders, announce, in sten
torian accents, Independence—a vast privilege,
indeed; but, thanks to the Almighty, a still mere
wondrous spectacle enlists our admiration—they
can read the Declaration of the mighty fact. Will
you, with this truth before you hesitate to call
yonr art divine? Let the Fourth, I repeat. be ce
lebrated with countless demonstrations. We will
he contest with saying a few things touching our
beloved Franklin.
Parental instruction first led me to a knowledge
of Franklin. My Philadelphia mother lived bard
by the reeidence of the great philosopher, and
popular report awakened her attention to the .
characters of three remarkab i e men of that re
nowned city—Franklin, Paine, and Rosh. They
were often Seen together in their walks through

of triple alliance ; There goes Poor Richard, Com
mon Sense, and the Doctor. And here I may ob
serve, by way of parenthesis that had Common
Sense heeded the wise counsels of Poor Richard,
and withheld from vulgar annoyance his ill-starred
work, " The Age of Reason," he might now have
bean enrolled on that immortal lig of names with
our Washington, our Adams, our Jefferson, our

manifested in the times that tries men's seu's.
The reading, not to say the study, of Frank
lin's autobiography led me to join the typo•
graphical profession, and securing a pretty free
range of reading by the opportunities now af
forded, I had no sooner obtained a fair practical
knowledge of the art than I aimed at a collegi
ate course of instruction, which I accomplsheil
in due time, and with my finial re:mimes thus de.
rived from my awn earnings, I finally became a
graduated doctor in medioine. There are those
who may think the time thus appropriated 'a lose
in the business of life; but I have no reason to
repent this temporary obstruction in the accom
nisement of my ultimate design. I learned the
value of time In early life : if I possess induetri-
Orti habits. I owe them to my juvenile devotion to
business, and, moreover, having resolved, in my
twelfth year, to depend wholly upon myself for
the Indulgence of all my wants, I may say that
my career thus far has been pretty much of my
own choice—asking few favors, and sustaining a
relationship with others, in a pecuniary sense,
in no wise burthensome. My medical Tumults

population was about fourteen or fifteen thou

communicated by him to Paris, and adopted by

Franklin's death occurred in his eighty-fifth
year, at his residence in Franklin court, between
Third and Fourth streets ' on the loath side of
Market street, in 1790 The rage of improvements
has abolished all traces of the spot. llie death
excited the sympathies and regrets of both hemis
pheres. His loss was mourned both in Europe and
America. I have at different times sought from
his few surviving contemporaries for additional
particulars concerning his last illness, and of his
fortitude in ex:fining from personal disorders.
John Jones, his surgical friend, once a professor
in King's College, (now Celumbia, in this city,)
was a constant and a devoted attendant en Lin.
Franklin, until at a late stage in hie illness, re
oeived the visits of his friends with the sweetest
composure and resignation to his fate. One of
his intimate associates told me the divine old
man was willing, amidst all his sufferings, to
tarry still longer in his earthly tabernacle, God
willing, though prepared for his departure.
This lingering to launch away has from a clinical
experience of fifty years in the lest illness of old
ego often presented itself to niy contemplation.
while youth and beauty with fairest prospects of
temporal happiness for years, have seemed to he
less reluctant for &final departure, and much more
ready to submit to the irrevocable mandate. The
problem is difilault of aolntion. I must leave the
miracle to heaven. The Apostolic Bishop White,
the celebrated Judge Peters, and Wm. Bingham,
were among the last who witnessed the philosopher
towards the close of his illness. The last named
gentleman, William Binghant, Wad he who import
ed from abroad the Statue of Franklin which
graces the area in front of the Pennsylvania Hos
pital. Some short while before Franklin's death,
a young man.of The neighborhood ebriut that pe
riod, nr soon after a clerk in the United S-Atee
Loan Ofiiee, was often countenanced by Franklin in
friendly salutation. lie was also on agreeable
terms with Bache, a grandson of the Doctor, and
editor of the ~471, - n ra. Benjamin Franklin Bael.e
presented the youth with a walking-cane of the old
philosopher, and that cane, after being preserved
by Mr Phillips, now among us in his eighty-six th

L7o many pens have been employed in writing
on the character of Dr. Franklin, and the inter

Gentlemen, I shall trespass on your kindness
but a moment longer. 1 hare viewed Dr. Frank

1111 more immediately in the light of a member of
the typographical fraternity, because I thought
his relationship to us would in that respect be the
moat appropriate Subj.3et at this time. Ilia entire
character, in its several bearings, is so marvel
ously diversified, and yet so amnia forillustration,
that difficulties encompass us on every side when
we undertake to analyze his life and labors. No
man ever left this world with a wider and more
popular renown, and upon none other have poi
thumous boners and considerations more increased.
lie seems to be better understood and more fully
comprehended by foreign nations than any other
American. Yon are all familiar with the eulo
glum; of Miraboau, of Turgot, of 13iot. There
seems to have been nothing hyperbolical in the
encomiums of these great men and the ablest
writers of our own time Dave reverberated
like praises in his behalf. That science, the
offipring of his inductive powers, from the sim
Vest experiment of the silken thread and the iron
key, has unfolded itself in its several relations in
our days to be the recognised agent of mightiest
influence, of astonishing capabilities, and infinite
appliance. A singular felicity of inductions,'
says Sir Humphrey Davy, "guided all his re.
searches; and by vary small means he established
very grand truths." "The self-tanght Ameri
ams,l7 says Lord Jeffrey, "is the most rational.
perhaps of all philosophers,. He never loses sight
of common sense in any, of his speculations."
"Franklin," s , ya Lord Brougham, " is one of the
most remarkable men of our times, as a politician.
or of any age as a philosopher. He stands alone in
combining together those two characters, the
greatest that man can sustain, and in this, that
having borne the first part in enlarging sci
ence by one of the greatest di.coveries ever made,
he bore the second part in founding one of the
greatest empires in the world." It were easy
to multiply these testimonials of the worth of
our Franklin, and to add the grateful sketches
of his exisellence penned by a long list of his
native noun tryto on. as Bancroft, Sparks, Winthrop,
Hildreth, Eveze t, Irving. and many more equally
competent to do justice with discrimina, ing power.
But I shall close this portion of this hurried ad
dress by introducing the letter which Washington
wrote Franklin in recognition of his patriotic ser
vices. The original is in the valuable collection of
autographs possessed: by Mr Putnam, the famous
Bibliopole of this city. The letter, as copied, may
be seen in that great repository of literature and
authors—Allibons's Dictionary—a work philoso
phers may consult with profitable recreation Echo
lars study for improvement, and literary man use
for daily aid. d'bo letter of Washington was ad

The lion. Dr. FRANKLIN.
A singular and remarkable distinction has
waited upon the name of Franklin. Our country
is often, abroad. called the country of Franklin ;
his life and actions are eo closely identified with
her literature, her science, and the establisbnaent
of her representative government. It must be
admitted that hit example was a fit pattern for a
natio-.'s adoption. His labors have assuredly
proved an incentive to the most earnest appliamies
of the moat vigorous intellects> Without scholar
ship, he is a writer whose style of composition for
purity, dignity, and clearness. a thomand univer
sides could not improve. Ills counsels in the
gravest deliberations of the nation had an influ
ence unsurpassed by the Nesters of eloquence and
the wisest maulers. Our historical annals tell
us of his deoision of oharaoter, and of his noble
bearing in the darkest hours, amid the great
est perplexities. His Socratic wisdom dethroned
the syllogistic rules of the most astute logi-
Mans. Tne science of the wealth of nations
he rednoed to a few simple axioms His exam
ination before the House of Commons, in which
he so successfully encountered that perjured
minion of power, Weilderburn, afterwards Lord
Roslyn, deserves to be used as a catechiem for
youth in oar schools and oollegve, the better to
promote a knowledge of the science of Govern
ment in our Republic. We must be gratified to
know that that tyrant of power- received in due '
time the rewards of his insolence towards Frank

to excite much remark. The pleasanter way of

from natural advantages, should certainly occupy a
prominent position among the watering places of
our State. The salubrity and purity of the air,
the medicinal virtues of the water (etpecially to
pulmonary affections.) the beauty cf the surround
ing scenery, combined with the many facilities for
exercise and amusement., should certainly gain for
them the patronage of a portion of our health and
pleasure-socking sons and daughters of Pennsyl-
Vania.
Truly this is a healthful, beautiful, e nd delight
ful piece. Here the pleasure-seeker can find the
choicest desire of his heart; hero the sportsman
can gratify his taster to the fullest extent; bore
the worn and jaded city merehaet can recuperate
his physical energy ler the coming "fall trade;"
here the wearied professional or literary man
can regain intellectual vigor for future conflicta in
the arena ~f life ; and here the invalid can find in
the fatotty of mine hest. Parsons a home tree from
the heat. toil, and bustle of city and town life.
The large and splendid hotel, erected three

fame has gained additional laurels since his ad

covered with the choicest delicacies of the season
his servants are prompt, intelligent, and polite
his vines and other liquors are of the most ap
