One thing is certain, .the Democraoy will support bio interpretation of the Cincinnati platform,- or get no votes in tho freo States. That may bo written down' now as a- fixed fact. The pledge not to vote for him Is equivalent to apledgo not to unite at all with tho Northern Democraoy; for there will be no difference between proscribing the man and proscribing the creed which the whole Northern Democraoy stand upon.” Tho Democratic Convention of Lancaster oounty, which- met on Wednesday lsat, Unanimously and enthusiastically recommended the He:.. Geo. San derson, of Lancaster city, for the office of Go vernor. A number of Democratic papers in the State also urge his nomination. ' , 'The following is an extract or ah address of Mr. Greeley, to tho Republicans of California, on the Buhjeetof the election in that State:' “I do not perceive the necessity of California persisting In tho sdpport of two rival State tieketa in opposition to that of the Lecompton Democraoy. If I, a Repnblioan of the old; school; who oling to the faith of Jefferson and Washington, and insist open, the Congressional ’prohibition of slavery, could vote—as I did most heartily vote—to return dohu B. Hoskin, an antt-Lceompton Democrat, I cannot sco why any Ropnblican In California, standing on the platform of your Into' State Nomi nating Convention, should hesitate, to support Jo seph C. MoKibbin. Unless party organisations tiro of more account than fundamental principles, I Cannot see why Mr.' MoKibblh should lose one Republican vote' “I voted for Mr, liaskln, not'as a Repnblloan, not beonuso bis’ Views embodied my convictions, but because, .under circumstances of trial and temptation,.ha bad proved faithful to.his own. ■ The Republican party of the Union stands on tho platform' of unconditional and unwavering hostility. to the extension of slavery. The Democratic party professes to stand on that of impartiality between free and slave labor; and when the present Federal Administration de serted this, and planted itself on the novel as sumption that Kansas should, because of certain alleged lacks. 3 on thepart of her free oltlaens, be thrust into the Union as . a slave Btate, in violent, notorious opposition to her own will, there were found a faithful few Democrats ip Congress who do bed the seductions of patrohegd, the blandishmentß ind frowns of power; nndjstood firmly by their pro claimed principle's to the end. By the votes Of these faithful Demoorata, Kansas was saved from slavery, - and the Union from probable civil war. Everyone of these, but Mr. MoKibbin, who commuted to stand for re-election, hes been triumphantly' sustained; I trust he js net to constitute the solitary exception,' an' exception fatmore discreditable to California than to him. Ido not know the man. I nevor spoke tenor had any sort of oommttniestion with him; hut shall regard his defeat by a Leeomptenite as a national disaster. ’’ , A billiard match earns off at Chicago on Satur day between Messrs, Phelan: and Nowman.

It grieves us to announce the departure of a valued and gifted friend, oven though he be nqt far removed by distance, and his change of place.way pbob.ablybo advantageous, to .him, in aseoßdly Lbiawd, who h»?boon associate-editor of tho Evening Hulktin of this city, for'somo time, has ceauod to occupy that position, and, .wo believe, romovod, on Satnrday, to New York, thero to reside per manently. His writings in tho Bulletin showed great talent for journalism. He has travelled largely and observed closely, studied deeply ,and thought solidly, read much and written a great deal. Tho result was that ho hold the pen of'a ready writer upon almost'every sub ject of: interest which could come within tho . scope and limit of daily Journalism., On literary matters, with which'he was intimately* «well posted up,” (we hate that counting-house phrase, though it comes in here,) Mr. Lepahd always wrote with the ease whioh thorough information gives, and with a spirited grace whioh jnadq his artioles very pleasant reading. As a book-critic, ho was especially at home, and, when his fine scholarship came into play, In literary reviews, every sentence of his told. Mr. LilAmd’s placo on tho daily press of this city cannot soon bo snpplied. Beyond Philadelphia, his natlvo city, Mr. Lepaxd is better known as author of books than a writer in newspapers. His first pub lished work, we believe, was “ Meister Karl’s Sketch Book,” in which ho give the results of extensive reading and travel—especially of a long residence in Germany. This appeared in -1855,' and was followed, in the next year, by “ The Poetry and -Mystery of Dreams,” in which the,Art of Oneiro-Criticißm, or tho in terpretation of dreams, was illustrated by some hundreds of poetic extracts, original poems, and translations, in a very charming and inte resting manner. The selection is made with Bueh rare taste, that tho work is a book of gems. Wo havo it, on hotter and Ihirer authority than our own, that he spoke German as flu ently as if ho had beon bom and reared in Saxony—where the language is believed to be spoken, with extraordinary purity. Ho was thus qualified, In no small degree, to giro to the. world a translation of the well-known “pictures of Travel,” by Henbt Heise—ono .of the bravest truth-tellers in Germany sinco tho time of Luther. This was tho first intro duction of that book to tho reading pnblle of America and England. It speedily went Into a second edition, which shows tho estimate of its worth at home, whjlo tho testimony of the leading foreign critics was strongly in its. favor. Tho difficult critic of tho Lon don Leader (G. H. Lewes, the biographer of Goethe, we believe,) said “Mr. Lelakd has that grand requisite of a translator, rigorous iaithfnlncss; he has also poetical sensibility, command of language, and an evidently acuto perception of wit; in short, he spoils Heine’s poems perliaps as little as it is possible to spoil them in a translation. This may not seem to bo high praise, hut wo firmly beliove that it is the very highest praise that can bo given to a translation of Heine’s poems.” Tho. London Athenaeum echoed this eulogy, adding, “ .Particularly prominent is his [Mr. L.’s] erudition in the ‘ Bnrshikos’ langnago— t. e., the story of tlio students—which fre quently occurs in tho ‘ Reisebilder,’ and the notes that ho appends, in explanation of tho phrases, proper to this classic tongue, will render his translation valuable to many even of those who can read Heine in tho original.” • Forabout two years, Mr. Leeand had edito rial charge of Graham’i Magazine. His own articles, and especially his Editorial Ohit.Ckat, (on tho plan of Louis Gaylord Clark’s Gos- sip with Readers and Correspondents in tho Knickerbocker,) wero admirably written, but It is up-bill work to edit a Magazine, the Im pqcuniosity of which allowed of few paid con tributors. No talent, no tact, could preserve the vitality of such a periodical, and it was dis continued. TYe nro writing a Valedictory of an able, amiablo, and accomplished gentleman, and not his Obituary, as might appear from this notice of his works. But wo desired to show what he bad done, and done well. In tho private relations of life, Mr. Lelaxd is as well deserving as in the public. Thero is only ono regret in our mind coupled with him—namely, that, so highly regarding him, wo saw less of him than, wo may vontnro to say, both desired. Editorial duties, mutually en grossing, too much interfered with tho fre quent -friendly intercourse which knits heart to heart, and ripens respect into regard. Mr. Lelanu, wo feel confident, will “ mako his mark” in-New York, or where else his disposition may lead him. Ho lias learning, talent, youth, and energy, and out of these springs the eternal Fame. The Canvass In New Jersey. A good deal of misapprehension lias existed In reference to the position of the Democratic candidate for Governor, General Wright, in New Jersey, growing out of tho report In the New York Herald, that ho stood with the General Administration on tho Territorial question, and that he bad avowed himself friendly to the policy of that Administration. Having known General Wriout for many years, and particularly his attachment to progressive principles, wo could not feel that he was Willing to place himself in the atti tude of endorsing men and measures now al most universally repudiated by the intelli gence and patriotism of the country. Wc are happy to percoive, therefore, that on Wednes day evening last, at the great Democratic ra tification meeting, held at Newark, General Wright took occasion, in tho following em phatic manner, in the course of his speech, to state his position on tho great issues which now agitato all parties in this country, and will continue to do so for years to come. We copy from the excellent report of the Newark Daily ddvtrliser ; “ I am muoh liko the gentleman nominated by two or three Conventions—l stand on two plat forms : one is that adopted at Trenton, which Is a national platform. Though national questions aro not particularly involved in this election, and have nothing to do with State elections, which aro a purely local affair, I shall speak of them. Tho Trenton Convention declared in favor of the great Democrats dootrine of non-intervontlon. This doctrine is as old as the country. Non-interven tion in the broils of Europe; non-intervention in the quarrels of the miserable States of tho South American Continent; non-intervention among the States of this Union. The Democracy of New Jersey have always maintained tho doctrine of State rights. 'lt is old English-law, that ‘every man’s house is his casile.’ Suppose any porsou should enter your house and endeavor to direot tho movements of the household, when tho mealß shall be prepared, the bed made, children put to bed, Ao. Any interference on these subjects would bo an insult to a man of intelligence. Everyman is the master of his bouse in the oye of law and justice, and no man can interfere except by un lawful invasion. ,“To go allttle farther: what would’you say if a half dozeu aldermen of Jersey City should come hero to make laws and ordinances for you; or its mayor should depose Mayor Bigelow. The people of Newark are masters within their boundaries. Extend this principle to States, and you have tho doctrine of State sovereignty—long known. So the people who settle a territory, owned in common , pnrcltased and settled in common, have their own r *X ht J? manage its affairs, and it is their castle. On thts question lstand on the Cincinnati plat fotm as explained in the message of James Buchanan, and having been a wemher of the committee that framed it, like Amtrcia .Tachion, I take the responsibility, “My other platform is civil and roligioua and political liberty forevery man. This is as old ns the platform of the PJgnm Fathers. These ‘WoolleyHeads’ alter everything. When they spcak.of the Declaration they add the words ‘ free And’ to the equal, which alone exists there, and in the old Plymouth platform they Insert only ‘reli gious’ana Icavo out ‘civil’ liberty. Civil and re ligious liberty is thecrecdof the Democratic party, without whioh this country would long ago 1 have been made by our opponents a despotism. He hod never found in the Democratic creed any authority for detraction. I will not say our own party bas never indulged it, but I do not approve of it. I do not say this becauso tho shafts of slander now Fall on my own head, but I do not believe in at tacking personal character, and, as to the charges against me, I pronounce them, ono and all, entire ly fhlse.” Postmaster General llolt did not begin his reform movement ori Republican documents as re ported.- Some months ago, fifteen thousand Demo cratic documents, bearing tho frank of Sonator Brown, of Mississippi, were refused transmission through the malls, the frank not having been writ ten by the Senator himself.

Tho Amorican havo an Immense superiority, over tho Kuropoau newspapers in one respect, —namely, they avail themselves most freely of •tho telegraph as a medium for receiving intelli gence. Nothing surprises a foreigner more, when he 1 takes up a newspapor, In our great cities, than’ to find a couple of columns filled with brief summarios of news, telegraphed from all parts qf tho country. Thoro is nothing liko this in the Continental Press of Europe—not evoii in Paris. Thero is nothing liko this in London, wlioro Journalism is really “an In stitution.” ; ' -. Take tho lea newspaper, of.Europo,. which is The Timet, and you seo in it, on an average,about ono-flf h o' a column of nows from foreign countries, as brief as brief can be, —tho mere facts and not a superfluous word, because telegraphic communication is abomi nably oxponsivo. Ono would expect to seo a* few columns of news-items received by tole graph, from all parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. There is none of this. Tho public do not caro for it, wo presume. If they did, the newspapers would ho bound to supply it, as they do when an individual or general election is held—when a distinguished publicist such as Codden or BrnanT, Derby or Disraeli, Glaostone or Roebuck, Palmer ston or Lord JonN Russell make's a speocli in “ the provinces.” This is usually at tho proper cost of tho journal which does this. Tho London newspapers rarely unite in con voying the news, to diminish the oxponso, by sharing it. Each sonds down its own re porters, so anxious are they to havo roliablc reports. The British provincial journal;), on the con- trary, have an agreement by which tho cost of transmitting the latest news from London, by telegraph, is lessened, by division among many. The daily journals of Liverpool, Manohoster, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Dub lin have London and foreign nows, in this way, evory night, and, when Parliament sits a sum mary of what is said and done thero up to mid night. Tho weekly journals havo this nows o'n tho eve of publication only—mostly on Friday night, os nearly two-thirds of tho British pro vincial journals are published on Saturday morning. TYe notice that tho .A T eu> York Herald is about going a-hcad, in tho. telegraphic lino, of anything yet done. It announces, “wo are now engaged In organizing a competent corps of reporters to givo • daily verbatim reports of tho proceedings of the noxt Congress. . The cost of this enterprise will be from fitly to a hundred thousand dollars.” Tho speeches may occupy, it is thought, from four to six columns a day. The idea is a grand one, and no doubt will bo energetically carried out, with tho energy which, wo ate free to confess, is a distinguishing feature in the management of tho Herald. But do not promise verbatim re ports, which would be to offer a premium upon interminable speech-making. The cost will bo from fifty to a hundred thousand dollars. A vast outlay; but, hap pily, not all to como out of tho Herald’s funds. For the last-quoted sentence in tho preceding paragraph, after mentioning tho cost, con tinues thus: “ And wo expect that our co temporaries who wish to koep up with tho progress of metropolitan journalism will join with us and pay their portion of tho oxpouso.” Thus the Herald's organization is for tho Now York papers In general, who will pay tlioir share of tho cost. At any rate, it is a bold design, and not impracticable. It has our hearty good wishes. Reopening of the African Slave Trade. Our correspondent, “Occasional,” a few days ago stated distinctly, on tho best author ity, that tho traffic In slavos with Africa had been flagrantly reopened in tho Southern States, and was now being vigorously con ducted under tho auspices of many leading citizens of that part of the Union. His state ment has been contradicted In certain interest ed quarters, and wo perceive that Hen. Hora tio Seymour, of New York, in a late charac teristic speech, delivered at St. Paul, Minneso ta, ridiculed tho idea, and sneered at a Sena tor who had asserted that this trade had been reopened. Tho following extract, fro•« late number of tho Savannah- (Georgia) „ lily Hews, in reply to tho PrOvidenco Pott, will show that it is tho determination ol a largo body of the Southern peoplo to insist upon the reopening of this baleful traffic at all hazards: u No question of domostlc policy tiu over, within our reeoUeotion, grown bo rapidly In favor a* has the proposition to repeal the laws by which tho African slavo trado, and consequently tho labor system of tho South, is restricted, ana the vitality and perpetuity of her Institutions endangered. Wo assure our Providence cotemporary Ihoro is a well-founded, deep-rooted, ana wide-spreading oonviotion in the minds of our Southern peo ple that a domestic institution so indispensa ble to their prosperity, so essential to their sooißi, political, and material equality in tho Union, must be freed to their own control and regula tion. The recent insolent and defiant attempts of tho North to circumscribe and prosoribo tho Bouth, to exclude her by forco from tho publio domain, and by emigration aid societies to invade and colonize her border States, has onenod the eyes of the South ern pcoplo to tho fact that if they would proservo not only their equality, hut tholr very existence In or out of the Union, they must havo <( more African stock,” as tho North has its yearly influx of Kuro pean stock, and that, in accordance with tho uni versal rule of political economy, the relations of supply and demand must regolato her labor system, as it does tho labor system of the North.” Public Amusements. We said so much aboutthe theatricals of tho past week, at the time, that there is no occasion to run ovor the some ground again. Wo may briefly notice that, at Walnut-street Theatre, “ Fanst and Marguorito,” one of the best spectacle-dramas wo havo over aeon, was per formed for the last time on Saturday evening— t is, we hope, means the last time for the present, it it might have run as long ns “ Qur American Oonsin” did in Arch stroet, had not Mrs. Garrett son’s previous arrangements limited it to a fort* night, this time. It has been preceded, each night, by a force or comedtette. On Saturday cveniog “Simpson k Co.” was oapltnlly played by Mrs. Duffiold, Miss Cruise, Miss Miller, Mr. Tbayor, and Mr. Hooch—as well played as any one could desire. Mr. Tbayor was greatly applauded in tho part of Mr. Simpson. This evening Mr. E. L. Davenport commences a week’s engagement bore, and will appear as Hamlet , supported by Mrs. Cowell as Ophelia—n. part whioh sbo played boro, last season, in a thoroughly satisfactory manner with Mr.'Barry Sullivan. At Arob-street Theatre, tbisovoning, Mr. Edwin Booth enters into the fourth and last week of bis performance here. He has drawn very good houses all through, and, no doubt, will bo equally suoooss ful to the close. Of course, it would not be fair to compare Mr. Booth with such exporionced actors as Mr. Davenport, Mr. Barry Sullivan, Mr. Roberts, or Mr. Wallaok—gentlemon who bavo given half of their lives to the study end praotlco of their art—but considering his comparative youth, and tho short time ho bas been performing, he is very good, and, by find bye, may become a very great notor. Aroh-strect Thoatro suffers from tho want of a Indy perfectly qualified to play ju venile tragedy, melodrama, and comedy. This want has compelled Mrs. John Draw to play a girl in her teons in “ Richelieu” and to take tho part of Cordelia, in “ King Lear,” while it bas forced Miss Emma Taylor into playing Desdemona and Ophelia, whioh are characters far beyond hor powers. This ovcnlng, Mr. Booth will play Mac beth, With Mrß. John Draw as I*ady Macbeth, and a lino performance by both may bo confidently looked for. Wo should like to see Mr. Booth in Claude Mclnotte, Borneo, or somo such juvonile parts, whioh suit his age, but the want of a first young lady prevents this. Of the dead, nothing but what is good, says tho provorb, (“Do mortals nil nisi bonum,”) and therefore, though we must be exoused from wear ing crape on tho oooasion, wo shaU briofly make Abe announcement that “ Iridora of Sylvanln,” after keeping possession of tho stage at tho Aoade ray of Music for threo nights, has shared tho fate of “ The Black Agate,” and has boen withdrawn. It was a curious apology for a play, with its ono character and a half—X>r//vr John and Tsidora. Mrs. Bowers is about doing what she should havo ooraraenoed with—producing genuine, sterling comedy, and eschewing “ original ” pieces, bom but to die. Thisevening, “Thoßchool for Scandal” will bo acted at the Aoadomy, with a vory good cast. Henry Plaolde, one of the lari of the old-sohool actors In t-his country, will be the *S 'ir Peter Teazle, in whioh we have frequently seen him, and always with pleasuro. Joseph Surface, by J. W. Wnl laok, Jr., who certainly will give a gontlemanly reading Of the port. Charl/n Surface, by Mr. J. H. Taylor, and Crabtree by Mr. Wm. Dnvldgo, who made suoh a favorable Impression here, dnring Mrs. Bowers’ previous season at tho Academy. Mr. Fonno will be tho Sir Oli ver, Wo havo never yet scon any dramatic performance by Mr. DArcle, who takes tho part of Motes, but ho ought to play well, for he was considered ono of the best thoatrioal critics in' New York, while attached to the press there,-and has seen more dramatic, performnnoes hero and In England And Paris, than any other man of his age, we will venture to say, now living. The femalo cast is ns follows: Mrs. Bowers, in hor old part (and ono of her boat) of l«idy Teazle; Mrs. Wallaok, as Mrs. Candour; Mrs. Flaoo, as Jjady Sneerwell; and Miss J. West, as Maria. The new and beautiful Ballet of “La Fontftino d*Amour,” in which Mdlles, Prateai and Galetti, with tho corps lie ballet, will perform, will follow the oomoily. At the Galotios, in Race street, Mr. McDonough has brought out one of the .best pantomimes pro* duoed lu this city for many years. It is oatlod “ Blanoo, er the Magto Sword,” isqulte In the Ravel style, (Hernandei, who figures largely in it, re minds us of what Franoois Ravel was, a sooro years ago,) and has boon put upon the stage in a truly admirable mannor. It Mr. MoDonough, when the pantomime deoltnos in interest, (somo fivo months honoo,) would put his company to play vaudevilles, he would render his thontro doubly aitraotive. At present, howeyer, it le orotvded nightly. , ; ’ ’ ' Gcorgo Christy and his talented Minstrels con tinue at Musical Fund Hall another week. Tho company is as complote as any in tho country, and Goorgo Christy, ns a stngor and humorist, cannot bo oxcollod.

Washington', Bept. 18,1859, The groat drawback upon Washington for many I years past has been tho admitted inferiority of '• its hotels: Not long ago, it was notorious that the hotel-keepers lu this olty were distinguished for nogligoneo quite as muoh as their houses were re markable for their filthy and iiuporfeot condi tion. I oan romember myself, within the Inst twenty years, when it was almost impossible to ob tain a good meal, evon at tho best of thoso estab lishments, and when visitors were forced to tho double trouble of paying hotel bills, and of pa tronizing restaurants and oyster houses. A great change has, howovor, taken plaoo sinoe tho spirit of progress has extended, itself hither, and sinoo Washington has bcoomo, in almost overy re spect, a groat political and; fashionable centre. Not only hare our wealthy oltisoos shown every disposition to assist in tho gonoral Improvement of the town, but capital has boon, and is being, freely invested in tho enlargement, and otliorwiso in the improving of our hotels. Although there is muoh room for other ohanges. yet it gives me pleasure to say that tho National,. Brown's, Kirkwood's, and Willard’s ore now worthy of public patronage. I have already dlreotod attention to tho new bditding added to the old ono by tho Mossrs. Willard. They are propared to aooommodato a largor num ber of persons than any two hotola in tho olty; and if they will give a little more attention to their charges, which have been, in many oases, roost ex orbitant, and extend a more rigid discipline over their corps of servants, they will ho amply re warded. No city, not oven. Now York, pre sents so tompting a field to capitalists, willing to embark in the eroctfon of suoh buildings as these, thaa tho city of Washington. Those who come here, whother for business or pleasure, are always ready to pay well for what they got; and if tbey,aro well entertained, little complaint will to made of any reasonable charges. When wo rofleot upon the enormous profits roalUed by hotel-keep ers, it is not, I think, going too far to say that tho same enterprise that is now adorning ourgifeat cities, North and South, with’palatini edifices f>r the aoeommodntion of the public, will bo directed to this quarter, unloss, undoed, thpso who occupy tho ground should manifest every disposition to ontitlo thomselvcs to tho support of tho thousands of our intelligent and refined countrymen and countrywomen who |mnko Washington their headquarters during a good portion of every year. Mr. Parnn Stevens, of Boston, may be called the emperor; of hotel-koopers in this country. Ho now controls, or directs, or ad ministers the affairs, of tho two great Boston hotels, tho llevero and tho Trcmont, pf tho monster Fifth Avonuo Hotel, of tho Battle House, at Mobile, and I understand has contracted to assume the com mand of your magnificent “ Continental, M in Phi ladelphia. Just such a \pian as Stevens will not be likely to pass over the tempting opportunity of founding a splendid hotel in Washington, in all respoets equal to thpso which he now so prosper ously superintends. Tho arrival of the British mammoth steamship, the Great Knstern, at Portland, Maloo, has ex cited conversation in many quarters, os to the rcinauguratlon of the system of Congressional bounties to American steam lines. Tho English are determined to outdo u*, not merely In tho steam naval, but In tho steAm mercantile marine, and they will find a ready disposition In this country to acoopt their challenge. It is true the Great Eastern Is not so muoh a Government pro ject the work of the merchant prinoosof Great Britain. This example wilt no doubt, inspire many of our own enorgotio moo to put their funds into on Amorioan enterprise like it, But an ex cuse was needed for another appoal to Congress in favor of subsidies for an extended plan of mall stoamsbips, and this pn)Joot of the Bri tish offers such an ' excuse. Most of the existing steam linos maintained by our Go vemment are gross monopolies, that to Cali fornia especially. Competition-in this, as in all avocations, is the llfo of drade, and nothing does more to destroy competition than these offers of bounties by Congress. But if It fs proposed to ro vive the strugglo for appropriations to new lines of mall steamers, I hope Pennsylvania will be on the spot in proper force to look after her own interests, particularly tho interests of Philadelphia. She will have tho votes and the strength in the next Congress to command a good proportion of tbo treasure heretofore entirely lavished upon the city of Now York. 1 prodicted in one of my late letters that the course of tho Administration organ boro, tho Wash ington Constitution, in regard to tho election of Houston as Governor of Texas, would arouse the bitterest feelings among tho Democracy of tho South, and this prediction has boon repoatcdly confirmed. Tho New Orleans Delta, which may be said to represent Mr. Senator Slidell, pays its compliments to tho organ as follows : “ Foolish Constitution.— I The Wnidunrton ronaii fwtiwi pernista in making, itself by claiming the election of Houston in Texas as a Democratic vic tory. It is rather surprising that a purely party organ, which clamors so fiercely for regulnr nominations, should rejoico in the defeat of a regularly nominated Democratic tickqt. If tho election of Houston is a De mocratic triumph, tho election of Runnels would have havo been an Opposition victory. Rut Runnels aas no minated by n Democratic State Cortvention,which pnsnm! resolutions strictly in accordance withDemocratif Btatn- Rights doctrines, and analogous to those by the Loniai ana’nnd Mississippi Democratic Conventions. The fret, and everybody knows it to be the fact, is thnt the Demo cratic party wasdofeated in Texas, though, as wo have heretofore shown, its defeat is du£ to many causes en tirely separate from national politics, and by no means implying any want of fidelity to the Houth outhepnri of the inhabitants of that gallant and loyal Stato* "With equal reason tho Constitution might claim the de feat of Moore, in this State, or of J’oUus. in Minaiesippi, should such an 'accident occur, an Administration victories. Whilo tho f efealof Runnels wns not by any means a greater disaster to the Democratic party, the eleotion of Houston was in no sonso a Dornoorstic tri umph. Houston’s success was due to a variety of local causes which cannot operatoboynnd the borders of Tex as; but whioh were, perhaps Justly, powerful enough in the minds of many Texas Democrats to produce the over throw of the Democratic party and Its candidates. If national politics caused the recent rosnlt in Texas, per haps the Constitution will be kind onondi to inform us in what particular Houston was identified with, or re presented the Democratic party itml the Administra tion, and in what manner Governor Runnels, and the Convention which nominated him, manifested any anta gonism to the Administration, or thebntional Demo cratic organisation,or to Democratic State-Rights prin ciples? Moreover, has the so soon forgotten Houston’!! opposition to |he admission of Kan sas under the Lecompton Constitution, while it retains so vivid a remembrance of the defection of Mr. Douglas on that point? If Houston is to bo forgiven and exulted* why should Dougins be denounced and cru|hed ? On all tho sectional questions now liefore the oountry, Hous ton ami Douglas are supposed to agree, the principal difierenco is, that Houston w*fls a favorite with the North, oven while Douglas possessed the confidence of the South. Let us hoar from the Constitution on this point.” Tho election In California took place on tbe Bth of September. A Governor, members of the Legis lature, and members of Congross, were to be eloot ed; and tho Legislature then clioaon is to olcct a Unitod States Senator for six yoars from next March. We ought to have the result in about a woek, by the overland mail. ; Pennsylvania being one of tho rcbollious States, and hopelessly lost to the National Administration, wbonevor, undor the guise of rdform rind retrench ment, a blow can ho given to any ofdior business interests, she is sure to feel tho heavy hand of power. I alluded, in one of njy former letters, to the discontinuance of important post routes in Lan caster oountyi and I understand now that a thrust is about to bo made at your city. It Is true that none of tho leading routes aro to bo discontinued, for suob an not would not bo tole rated for an instant; but tho usefulness of one of your best mail lines is about to bo sadly jeo pardized, under tho pretext of saving'afow thousand dollars. I allude to the route between your city and Chicago. The eomplot© railrond connection now existing between those two important points Is one of tho greatest triumphs of this progressive sge, and the Government should feel a laudahlo pride in secur- ing to your business men, by overy moans In Its powor, the advantages of speedy communication with tho West, whioh this lino opens to thorn. For this purposo seven expross route agents were ap pointed a year or two ago, whoso duty It was to ac company tho trains, and mako it their exclusive business to protect tho mails, and see to thoir speedy delivery.’ Ro fay as J have learned they have performed their arduous task in a creditable manner, and hy making tho prompt delivery of the mnlls a speciality have always enabled business men along the route to obtain their loiters at tho earliest practicable momont. Postmaster llolt, however, having discovered that a few thousand dollars might bo saved to tbe Government by getting tho boggngo masters on the Pennsylvania Central and Fort Wayne and Chicago railroads to tnko charge of these mails, I understand that hohnr. issued orders to Special Agent Moore to make an arrangement with those gentlemen after the 30th of the present month, and the present route agents will then bo dispensed with. I do not doubt tho trustworthiness of tho baggage masters, nor their disposition to do every thing in their power to expedite the 4eljvery of the mails, but in the nature of things it oanrot bo ex pooted that they qan attend to this important busi ness as.woU'&s the present agents, whoso wholo attention ia devoted to il, when it is considered that they havo many multifarious duties to per form. ( In my last letter I told you that Collector Baker Was here, to answer a political imltotment pre ferred against him by District Attorney Vandyke. X should havo added that he was nocompnnlod by your illustrious Survoyor of tho Pori, John Hamil ton, Jr., who has also certain alleged political sins of omission and commission to nnswor for. Let thosogontlemon becircumspeot in tbeir for-nover was Sultan more watohful of his ounuchs, than Mr. Buchanan of his important Federal offi cials. It is proverbially unsafo to put too much faith in princes or Presidents, and thore is a possi bility that,..notwithstanding all the tyranny, triok cry, and unscrupulous prostitution of official stations which Messrs. Baker and Hamilton have boen guilty of< they may yet bo sacrificed to appe&fio tho wrath excited among tho Demoorncy of Philadelphia by their conduct. Hamilton has twioe failed to lay on tho Presidential altar the sweet inoenso of resolutions of endorsement by your Democratic Conventions. Let him beware J for what avails all his pretondod zeal if it is not tompored with sufficient discretion to accomplish the ends dosirod by tho Administration f Shall It bo said that an 2,000 men must be supported by funds drawn from tho Federal Treasury in your oity, and yot that these men, if skilfully officored, cannot take possession of your primary Democratic awem blades, and elect true and loyal Administration derogates l It is even alleged that Bnkef and Ilnmillon failed to carry the very ward, In whioh they reside, previous to tho late Convention. Shall suoh culpable uegllgencc or inoffiolenoy go unpunished ? Tho truth is, tho President is getting tired of tho excuses which are made by tho cul prits, and is half inollned to adopt oxtrpmo measures. Besides, Appleton, tho Assistant Sooretaryof State, while in your city a few days Binco, saw and heard enough to fully convince hito that your loading Federal officials wore a bungling set of politicians—not at All to bo oumpared to thoso of New York or any other important city,— and Mi report at headquarters will not tend to , iwooten the Presidential aspeat toward thetn. Mr. Buohman is at best in an unaminblo mood, and those minor annoyances greatly increase his ir ritability. “ The times are out of joint.” As his Official term wears away, courtier aftor courtier ab sents himeetf from his presence, nnd defection after defection is reported among his former supporters. He has sagacity enough to porccivo that thoso of his followers who wore his enemies in his days of political adversity, yet who now affeot friendship, love only patronage, and not tho band that bestows it upon them; and their ill-concealed anxiety to desert his fortunes in time to make their peace with tho rising man of the future, is not un noticed by him. Then came, the other day, tho tidings of tho proceeding of the Massachusetts State Convention, with its strong proclivities for Douglas, and of the selection of a delegation to Charleston by the Convention of Now York, which his beloved Herald classifies ns follows: Dickin son, 28 ; Douglas, 21; Soymour, 8; Guthrie, 9 ; Wise, 4; Hunter, 4; Cobb, 1; Holt, 1; Buchanan, 2; Orr, 1. The Preeideotdocs not liko any bottor than othor men to have the idea constantly forced upon his mind that ho lugs superfluous upon tho political stage; and if presont inoumbents of high stations cannot soothe'his downward path to political de struction by sweet medicaments of manufactured ondorBcmonts, why should not ho try tho experi ment of purchasing thoso costly luxuries with the publio money from other hands ? The eagerness with whioh the Constitution treasures up and pub lishes resolutions “endorsing the Administration,” oven though they are passed only by township meet ings attended by no persons but postmasters, should teach all dependent upon Presidential favor, how much ho prizes suoh small evidences of popularity. Fearfully conscious that the reality haa passed away forever, he eagerly grasps at the intangible shadows of publio approval; and when his officials undertake to explain why they have not wrung endorsements from an unwilling people, ho feels inclined to turn upon them, half in rago and half in suspicion, nnd, as Othello demands furiously of Dcsdomona “the handkerchief! tho handker chief!” to reiterate “ tho resolutions! the resolu tions !” Occasional. [XT* While Borao of tho Republican papers allow tholr bitter partisan prejudices to betray them into gross misrepresentations of, and un founded attacks upon, Senator Douglas, we are glad tonotico in tho Dclawate County Re publican a candid statement of his political sitioUj as follows? Sf.xator Douglas .—The “Li t tie Giant’' is stead ily making headway among tho adberonts of tho Domocraoy, and is to-day the most prominent can didate of tho party for the nomination of the Charleston Convention. His recent speeches and bis late manifesto, published in Harper’* IMaga zine, meo; with some opposition, it U true, among the fire-eaters of the South, but both so clearly in dioatc the course of policy ho would pursue in the event of bis election to the Presidency, that the objections at present existing ban easily bo over come at tho proper time. His most formidable op ponent seems at present to bo Gov. WisOj of Vir ginia, who, nided by tho Richmond Enquirer, and m fow coadjutors in tbo far South, may yet cause troublo in that nuartor. At alt evont.-q Douglas is tho only man who can unite the party, or mth whom there t s the least prospect of success. Imncnatcr County, On Wednesday tho Democrats of this county met in Convention and nominated a ticket. Resolu tions hoartily erdorring the National Administra tion were unanimously adopted. Resolutions com plimenting the Administration of Governor Packer were rejected by a nearly unanimous rote. Wo clip the abore paragraph from the Harrisburg Patriot and Union of this morning as an illustra tion of the adage that you must “go abroad to learn tho dowb at home.’ : It is scarcely necessary to Inform our readers here how grossly false the above information is. Resolutions endorsing the Administration of Governor Packer were voted for by tho delegates representing eleven towmbipe, being luoro than a fourth of tho townships repre sented in the Convention.

The contractor for buildrn? the Borgen tunnel is im modiat ly responsible to the laborers for tlioir waves, but tho impression among them is that the company does not, pay the contractor, hence their demonstration against it. This afternoon the mob was still in full possession of thotraok. The work of barricading was carried on with great vigor to a late hour last night, and would have been resumed this morning hut for the heavy rain. Greatpieces of rock wore employed during the latter Jtart of the day, and the road was effectually obstructed or several iniloa. Should tho mob disperse immedi ately, the obstructions could not be moved l'or several hours.

Now there is no mystery in it when we take into consideration the location, Noe. 003 and 96 Chestnut street,ouedooraliove Sixth street. The skil ful cotters the firm employ, the neat, substantial, and elegant manner in which their garments are got op,and the renrenieat arrangement of their larce and magnifi cent store, which is fifty feet front on Chestnut street, by one hundred feet deep, one wing of whieh fronts on Sixth street, the whole of which is furnished wi h bean- tiful maboyany-tnp counters, upon whieh is displayed the most perfect stock of clothim, both men and boys* in the city.
