Haviug jds t;f§o oi ved "that welcome visiter, The
Press t of this morning, I find it to contain a com
munication over.tho signature of, Snyder* which
communication reminds me of tbo late preparatory
Democratic sheeting held by. tho,Democracy of this
county, .at- Norristown, on Tuesday last. lYonr
correspondent Snyder refors to the fnot that tho
employees" of the custom hdusc are' regularly
drilled’ by that cohtemptibte'politiolan, the Snr*
veyorof the Port* of Philadelphia. Hero, we do
not entertain a dohbt but that your correspondent
(sciearly in the.right, f ~* * . < w- -:j ,
At the preparatory cohnty meeting just referred
*o, of which.l was a quiet looker-on, we found that
listlnguished personage the marshal of the East
mi district of and of Columbia
Railroad.notoriety there, using ovterfr,nerve to In
duce the'Democracy of our/good “Old Mont
gomery’ ’ tx> • transfer their rights, politically, into
his hands for safe keeping. Put it was of no avail.
John M. Jones, holding an Official position under
the General Government, was also thero; using every
effort to seduce the Democracy in the committee bn
resolutlon'i— ( the Jones family is a great One”—
,WhicU resolutions were intended only to endorse
the Administration of Mr, Ruohan&n, and to,intro
duce the name o? JiTarshal Yost, for tbepo£tJ)e*
mberatib’candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania,
Bat lt did hot reach. The course pursued by these
men and bthVnof the same kidney clearly proves
that* “.Snyder” Is right. ■ .
■ 'At'the meeting athfarririown, these men labored
hard’to,have everything in their own way-. But our
Democrats wore a little too keepto .The
resolutions; you may judge, aro a mixed concern {
they endorse the President, the Governor; the Kan
iasrlfebraflka aotof “54,” thoCinoinnatiplalform
of “ D 6i tJE Ac., hpt poor Yost was not brought forward
for Governor; * Sad ihte t On the other hand, very,
complimentary and strong resolutifipsjyore adopted
(ÜBtaining the course Of ’ bur present worthy Auditor

mending frijn to the Democracy -of the State as a.
suitable candidate next Governor of Penn-,

■hunself worthy of- tfie confidenoe of thepeoplt.
' Mingling with‘the Democrats who attended the
•meeting at Norristown, I find a large portion of
the DemaoVats in this county look to Illinois for the
salvation of the party In IWO; and,
avowing their faith id the f Jtftjle Giant of the
West.” '
At Norristown I found Richardson L. Wright,
the.nominee for Auditor General, endeavoring to
make-fair'weather with the Democrats. Btit,
alas \ poor Dlokey, he will be, used up; if his
strength in this county is any criterion, he will fall
far behind the regular Democratic Vote.
The course pursued by Collector Baker toward this
; county has crippled the' party, and the fact having
generally become known here, that he, with Sur
veyor Hamilton, and Marshal Yost, have sot them
selves up as the head and front of the Democracy
of Pennsylvania, goes far to spread a lukewarm
ness throughout, they being now inoapable of so
responsible atask.v ' . . . -

The following; jtfadng other resolutions, wore re
ported to 'tho Democratic meeting- held in Mont
gomery county, bn Tuesday lost, by g; fl. Patter-
son,' chairman of the committee, and unanimously
adopted'. ; • J ’'
- c( That we reassert and maintain the platform laid
down by the Democratic National Convention held
at Cincinnati in 1856, holding that these principles
are embodied therein: t That all political power is
inhorent in the all free governments
are founded on their antherity and instituted for
their benefit—(hat the .right of self-government is
the fundamentalridea of our republican institu
tions—that the doctrine of the capacity of the peo
ple to.govern themselves is the corner-stone of our
political fabric, applicable, alike to the States and
Territories of the union—and that the groat prin
ciple of sel&govehitfient; or popular sovereignty,
isihe.truo basis of the Domooratioparty in refer
ence to the organised Territories of the United
States,,, -
“ That in accordance with these doctrines, and
acting upon a principle which we rooognleo as emi
nently just-and wise—namely,the absolute non
intervention by Congress with slavery in the States
and Territories—we are opposed to any legislation
TTXrtho 4- infttttUtfh, nVrlfrV, "ftg
ulate, protect, or in anywise interfere with slavery
in the Territories; '■
./‘‘That, in our opinion, it is th'edutyof the De
mocratic party steadfastly to adhero to tire princi
ple enunciated by tho Compromise Measures of
1850; ratified- by . tbe people in the Presidential
elecnoh of 1852, re-affirmed In the Kansah-Netrfas
ka&ct of 1854—which Is founded Upon principles as
anoiont v as free government itself, aha, in accord
ance with them,-has simply declared that tho peo
ple of a Territory, like those of- a .State, shall fie.-
oids fbf' themselves whether slavery shall or shall
not exist within their limits—and again asserted,
fcnd sustained by tho election of our present Chief
Magistrate,,in 1856$ and that, in conformity with
these views, every attempt should bo steadfastly
resisted'' that would interpolate upon tho precd of
our party ahy'new issue* whether such issue should
be the reopening of the African slave trade, the
enactment of a Congressional slave oodo for the
Territories, or the declaration that the Constitution
of the United States either ejtabllshos or prohlbits
slavery in the Territories bey and th« power of the
peoplo to control it.
~ “ (That we oontinuo to entertain a just apprecia
tion of the abilities, wisdom, and patriotism of
James Baohanan. President of the United Statos,
and regard his Administration as ono whioh im
partial history will record os having been highly
distinguished for singleness of purpose, unity of
nation, and a vigilant watchfulness. over public
affairs, . , . , >
“ That we oongr&tulate our fellow-citizens on the
prosperous condition of our beloved Commonwealth,
and award to Governor W. F. Packer the merit to
whioh he may be entitled for a oareful administra
tion of our ppblio affairs, and the prompt interven

WnsATLEV Clause's Aroh.street Theatre was
filledjaat evening. The season thns far, thanks to
fairwoather and good noting, has been remarkably
prosperous. The managers are hard-working men,
and deserve thpir wagos., The pieces last evening
were,‘‘The pride of the Market,”, and, “ Wild
Oats.”, Tho first a three-aot comedy, by Plahohe,
is a.very lively,and exoiting piece,- evidently from
the, French.. We saw Mr. Stoddart, a.now actor
here, for the first time,,in' this part,' We oan
hiardly pass ah opinion on him from so short an ac
quaintance. Mr. Clarke’ and Mrs. Brew played
excellently well, and were applauded without stint.
A* for tho aftorpioce (!) “ Wild Oats,” it is an old
friend of ours, and one that Improves on acquaint*
anoo. Ab for Mover, wo would sooner seq Wheat
ley in It than any man in America, always except
ing James K. Murdoch. He never played it better
than last'evening.
r A novelty has bqen introduced here in the way
of a play-bill. The old greasy and flimsy MU has
been supplanted by a diminutive newspaper shoot
called ThcLorgntttc, In addition to tho oust of
Characters, the Lorgnette has severpiseleoted para
graphs of prose and poetry,'and two or three well
written original articles on miscellaneous shbjocts.
The literary character of these articles is something
above play-house literature, and they are evidently
from tho pons of men who know thoir business.
The innovation is an oxoellent oho, and might well
he,copied. , ' ,
'.Cniiis'Ty’s, MiNsrnnM—There wqj a' great
house at the Musioal Fond Hall last evening, and
George Christy was never in hotter humor. That
song of irii; “ My Johnny was a Shoemaker,” is a
bdautlfnl piece of melialy. The “ Sweep's Choral’,’
Was sting by'Mr. jOampbell amid, great applause.
We Uke Ohrfsty'q freupo for one thing—ft Is un
der such wpndorful control.' Such a thing as a
false hole or an unruly instrument is almostlmpos
sifile. Two more nights and George Christy goes
te'Baltimore. There are no , secured seats liore,.
and'everything is democratic, but the front seats
being invariably reserved for the fair and their

{From thePublioLedser, August 18,1

iral has made a decision sustaining tho position of
the Post Office Department, to the effect that, ns
{ho act limiting the amount of payments for foreign
ocean ptail service also provides that such amounts
may be paid ont of any nionoy in tho Treasury not
otherwise appropriated, It is a permanent appro
priation, and ie.not affected by the faiidrepf the
post office appropriation bill at the last session. Nor
is it affebted by tho act of 1830, requiring tho Post
master General to submit oortatn specific estimates
to Congress', at certain stated times, It Is hold by.
certain deputy postmasters that the act of 1854,
fixing thoir salaries by a por contage upon tho rc

\ The second and other sections of the act of July

provide, * m ’ > i ' ! ; • - ‘ 1
Sec. 2. That the Postmaster shall sabfoU to Congress,,

sequent‘fiscal year, vis: '* * ” "transportation of

revenues of the General Post Offioo shall bo paid into the
Treasury, and only paid out (vide acci‘4)" on warrants
expressing on their faces the appropriation to which they
should. be charged, 11 &c. /
All. the appropriation ao to prior to 1858*9, as to
oce'anmail steamers, expressly,limit, the Appropri
ation .each make's to a special fiscal 'year therein 1
degi^natod; and they not only so distinctly declare
in their titles, but ift tho clauses making tlis ap
propriations.' * •
Though the General Post Office appropriation bill) •
making provision for tho general 'mail service and
onuses during the fiscal- year ending Juno 30,\
,1880,- fpilmibriPg passed, and -the ocean mail;
steamers appropriation failed ft, yet, on thp*
very last day of the session, Maroh 1 $, 1849*! threp
special appropriations were 1 tacked on to the‘ tail -
end of an Indian appropriation feiiT lor the fiscal;
year ending JuWSO, iBiNb for certain ocean mail
steamers, the appropriationsln eaoh instance being,
limited to September &)th, 1859..- The lines thus:
■provided for are the lines]
only. All the appropriations under oharge of the 1
General Post Office for salaries, olerk hire, station*
ery, fuel, gn« ; and repairs for the department,
! amounted only to $179,899,
' Tho construction that the appropriate by the
fifth section of the act of Juno 14, 1858, above cited,
of ‘‘ the sea and inland postage * 5 to American steam
vessels and sea postage ”to foreign steam vessels, •
U continuing after June 30, 1859, is a monstrous \
absurdity. It is admitted tljat tho terms, “allowing
and paying therefor, out of any mycy in Ms'
Treasury not otherwise appropriated,” Is a oon*
stltgUqnal “ appropriation ” of the “ sea and inland
postage "in one ca|e ; and of the “ sea postage ”
only ia the other. Bat being such appropriation,-it
is controlled, sustained, and limited, in respect of
time, to June 30, 1859.' This is the effect of the
title of the or/, and of tho thrice-repeated clauses
in the aot,.showing that all tho appropriations in it'
were only up to June SO, 185 Q, .
, This doctrine of “ combining" and l jper
nent ” appropriations is, as I contended 2n my
former letters, above alluded to, o mast nefarious
and pernicious dppirfne. It has beoh invented to
uphold and justify the most ne/hf-jotis afid'pernU
oious practices by tho Executive Departments/ It
is one of the means resorted to by which tho de*-
parbnonts here usurp the entire control of tho Fey
dejftl Government. It .is the path by which they
travel in enoroaohisg upon the funotioqs of thole;
gislatlve branch ofthe Government, gradually,
with stealthy step, has the Executive been absorb;
Ing the powers of Congress foryeara past; but, tindelr
the present Administration, its strides have beoh:
fearful. Sound pQlfoydemands that no
tinuirig' , an<i “permanent” appropriations b<ral
eliould bo put down. -There is an expreas olnuaa
in tho. Federal Constitution whioh, in
(i, e., with rospeet to raising and supporting'aK
miesj distinctly doolarca "that no appropriation
of .money to , he fbr a longer term
than two years? See, 8, CToifst'Tr'fi,^
Even in the ease specified, this constitutional re*
striotion is constantly evaded by departmental con*
atruotion and practice.? The same sound poliey
which dictated , the constitutional' provision , re;
forced to, demands that po such , appropriations
should be made in any jp nono not
of the most imperious -necessity—and especially
that no constructions 'should be favored extending
the terms or meaning of an act of CongrWin order
to make an 1 appropriation “ continuing” and
“ permanent * - ■ J : .'
There is no greater or more dangerous oril exist*
ing At Washington than the doctrine of permanent
appropriations. It tends to aggregate all tho pow
era of the Government in the hands of the Presi
dent and his Cabinet, and take them any
oontrol by Congress! It fs no argument to say that
suoh pfaotice is convenient . It would be* deemed
by some to be convenient, perhaps, if Congress were
abolished altogether, and all power given to a dic
tator. Adopt this practice a little more folly, ‘and
Congress becomes effectually emasculated os to the
power of .withholding* supplies from ,a t corrupt
Executive or wicked hoad of a department.- It is
vain to say that Congress may Tepeal a, law grant
ing a continuing or permanent appropriation if Jt
is abused. X4o veto would be used by a corrupt
Executive, determined to sustain his power.’ The
best way is not to allow any such appropriationsto
prohibit Buoh constructions by express general act;
and to require that all grants of money be annual
only. Then Congress holds a eogent preventive
of extravagance and corruption in its own. hinds-
Why givo away suoh salutary power?
The ground, I learn, upon whioh Mr. IfoU and
Mr- Black insist that the ooean mail steam service
appropriations or allowance by the fifth section of
tho act of June 14,1858, are continuing and per
manent appropriations, is, that the “ sea and in
land postage” are not included in the aet of 183 d,
above cited, and that no “ estimates” are eo nom
ine required to be made of the allowances and
payments thoreof under the aot of 1858 cited. *
This is very ridiculous, Estimates are required of
“ transportation of the vuiih—skip, steamboat,
and way tetters,” which surely include “ sea and
Inland portage,” and paymonts thereof; under the
fifth section of the act oflBsB. Congress will, doubt
less, overhaul the action of Major Holt in this busi
ness, and probe the Influences that have prompted
to such decision to the bottom. -
. The Postmaster General refuses, I learn, to de
cide whether the compensation (commissions) of the
postmasters, by act of. 22d June, 1854, can bo re
tained in their hands or not, or whether it must
be first paid Into the United States Treasury and
then paid out to them,- and ea a continuing
and permanent appropriation. . /
He says he will decide it definitely .at the end of
of the quarter. Soon after ho oamo into offiob he
avowed the opinion that no compensation could he
made until there was an appropriation bill, passed.
Bat that, I learn, is given up. Snoh confusion,’
bungling, and inefficiency has never before been
exhibited In any department here, nor more fool
ish brag and bluster. '
But a trace with dull disquisitions upon law, poli
ties, and post offices! Begono all thought of the
faults or follies, the intrigues and corruptions of
frail mortality! Away with aught that reminds ns
of the perfidy nnd falsehood of woman or of man 1
liet us have an.end of such things, for to-day. at
least, I feet ethereal! Know that I have taken
another “peep into Futurity!” Again have I
looked beyond tho dark Admatha that hangs over
the ' pathway of ordinary mortals and" hides
“ what is to be " from thoir vision ! Oboe more
havo I communed with tho Pvtboxio geniuS of Be
mooraoy, and, like Bon Rodorlok, visited tho
“Vault of Destiny.!’ When last my nstonishod
gase was bent along the vista of the coming year, tho
Charleston Convention had mot and hod dispersed;
Buchanan had boen nominated, and with him the
glorious and bolovod Bonnett had been soleoted as
the Vice. The question was rising unhidden to my
lips, “ Will they accept or decline ?” when my
Pythonie companion abruptly turned off tbo gas,
and we wont to dinner. To-day, the interrogatory
“ Will they accept or decline?" found involuntary
uttoranco, at onco. Look and listen, said iho seor,
loboycd. ,1 saw tho two glorious phd illustrious
B.’s awaiting tho coinmttteo, to announce their
nomination. Bright and gracious wore tho smiles
that beamod. on' thoir vonernble physiognomies.
I romomborod tho thirty-fifth nnd forty.first totters
of old "Slat nomintis umbra ”* I shuddered.
The bommitteo reverently approached. Proudly
prominent amidst them stood tho Immortal Jinks!
The nominating resolution is road. .All respoot
ing, a platform are' omitted. Will they accept
or decline? Dulcet sounds float upon the air—
softer music no’or was heard in the canopied hnils
of Ahasueras, Sweetor notes wore' never uttered
by tho tuneful Bob-a-llnk. I beOarao inspired,
lustlndtlvoly I sotted my fiddle, and Incontinently
sang and played what I saw and what I heard.
But, alas! Once more tho curtain dropped.
The soene was o’er—the heavenlr muslo fled,
And thus the ms:,do record read!

Tho Grand Jury came into court and presented
true hills against the following persons:

gold dollars pa Adolph Helgholl. - -: .. ,
John Emory, James Rusk, and. Valentine Ker
hsugh, charged with sending goods, without a

An afternoon ootemporary of yesterday, in spook
ing of this oourt, says:
On Tuesday the Grand Jury met, and proceeded
to tho performance of their arduous labors. Two
bills of indictment were found on that day. Wed
nesday the petit jurors met, and the oaseof Jack
son, the attempted mall-robber, whioh had been
fixed for trial.&nd for which the witnesses for. the
Government nod boen brought from a distantparfc
of the State of Pennsylvania, opd from New York,
was ready, but by an arrangement of the District
Attorney and counsel for toe" prisoner, the trial
was postponed until the Novembor term. The
reason given to tho oourt was sickness in the family
of the counsol, a very unusual one upon which to
bsjie tho continuance of a highly important cose, as
the United States might in the meantime lose the
testimony of the ohlof witness whioh would ex?
oubo Jackson’s acquittal.
On Wednesday a somi-eivll action was tried—
that of the United States vs. Bates. An action to
recover upon a forfeited recognisance, whioh occu
pied about half an hour. The petit jurors were
then discharged, for the day. This morning the
court met. jurors all present, and after a talent ses
sion of half an hour, the District Attorney announced
that several bills of indictment hod been found by
the. Grand Jury, but that tho parties had asked fer
a continuance, and he had acquiesced.' There was
not any business, therefore, for tho oourt to do.
Judge C&dwaUder then announced that the ju
rors wero discharged for the term. r Tho whole bu
siness of the term may be therefore summed up
thus: Grand Jury, a term of four days,.eight
bills; petit jurors, a term of threo days, one ease
tried. It may bo asked what it has cost- the Go
vernment to arrive at this tremendous result.
Twenty-four Grand Jurors, $2 per day, four days,
$192; forty-eight potit jurors, $2 por day, three
days, $288; mileage of the eamo, say $lOO l pay of
witnesses, $200; eight tipstaves t $O4; pay of Judge,
say $4O; incidentals, including marshals’ and

Murder in New York.
\' 1 A 2fA!f KILLS SIS MOTHER-IN-LAW.
. About sotoq o’olock last ovening it was die*
that a moat brntal murder had been per
petrated is Atlantic,near Columbia street, Brook
lyn. . ,
. It Appears, At near as the facts can boascer
tained at present, that'Robert Toft, a printer, re
al (lfog in the upper part Of a house known as
Squire'a building, baa boon quarrelling with his
mother-in-law, Elizabeth Crawford, for somo time
east.. Toft, some three weeks slnoe, went to River
LOtulj L. X., and returned from that plaoe oq Sun
day last, in consequence of bis wife having been
confined.; When ho came heme ho turned his mo
thor-in-law'out of thb room, and made her keop
her own apartments In a back room.
Vcßtcrday nftcrnoon the old lady was In her
room 1 when Toft had a quarrel with, her and struck’
her on thoheadwith a bench, cutting a gash about l
an inch in length on tbo forehead. The old woman'
went to the City Hail to enter a complaint against
him but was told, that it was too late in the day,
and sho must oome in the morning. She then went
homo and told somo of the women in the house,
who gashed the blood off her face. The old lady
thon wont to her room and looked herself in, with
her little grand-daughter abOut twelve years old.
This was about elx o’olook.
Soon after Mrs. Riley, ono of tho neighbors,
heard the little girl soreaming, and immediately
after board the wife of Toft call to her child to tell
her grandmother that-her father was coming in to
her. Tliq next- moment the neighbors heard the
door forced open, and then a scream, and all was
still. It was halfan hour after this, when somo of
the neighbors suspootod that all was not right, and
wont to tbo room, whore they found tho old lady
lying doad.y Olfioer Johnston, of the Third pre
cinct, was nailed in and arrosted Toft, taking aim
fo the stationjioqso of tho Third preeinct.
The wife of Toft, daughter of the' old lady, aps
peered to feel but little regrot at what had occur
red. Toft professes to have no Idea how tho old
lady oarno Jo hsr dgaih, and tho littlo child who
was in'the room says that whon her father burst
the door open her mother fell and did not get up
again. -
The only marks of violonoo upon hor person are
a cut on her forehead about an ioch long, but no
deopor than tho skull, and a bruise upon her sldo;
A stone was upon the floor, but no marks of blood
wore discoverable, as of hor having' fell against it
or ipi having been used in beating her, No blood
or marks of blood are to bo seen in thorpom nt all
to indioate that she was beaten to death. '
