A Georgia correspondent of the New York He
ra/dims: " There is great division of sentiment
among the Democrats of Georgia in regard to
Douglas. In addithen to Mr. Toombs, it is under
stood that Mr. Stephens and Mr. Wright, late mem
bers from, this State, and other prominent Demo
crats, together with the Augusta Constitiaiom
altst, Macon Tekgroph, and other papers, are In
favor of his nomination. On the other hand, the
Southern-rights wing of the party, (far the moat
numerous,) with many Union Democrats, are as
bitterly opposed to him. Another element of dis
cord is the contest now waging by Mr. Iverson and
ex-GoVernor Johnson for Mr. Iverson's seat in the
United States Ben ate. Johnson has the support of
the Douglas people, while Iverson represents, fur
the most part, those who are opposed to biro. If the
eleetiou should take place, this winter, Iverson will
Probably be re-elected. Ono of the most puzzling
quentions new being addressed to the Democratic
candidates for Congress is, whether they would
support Mr. Douglas if nominated at Charleston
In addition to Mr. Gartrell, Mr. Speer, tho no
minee of the Third district, has answered that he
would not vote for him if nominated by a thousand
Charleston Conventions. Mr. Jones, the nominee
in Mr. Stephen's old &trim., has replied vaguely,
that he would support him sooner than he would a
Black Republican. t And so we go. The delega
tion in Congress will stand as heretofore, with a
donee for again to the Opposition in the Eighth
district.,"

The Clearfield Senatorial District.
The Senatorial district In this State in which
United States Senator BIGLER resides, com
posed of the counties of Clearfield, Cambria,
and Blair, is the scene of a very animated
contest. The Democrats have nominated
Mr. DURBIN, of Cambria, and the Opposition
Mr. HALL, of Blair, as their candidates. The
nomination of Mr. DURBIN was effected after
an arduous and protracted contest of some one
hundred and twenty ballots, during which Mr.
BIGLER attempted to nominate his particular
friend; Mr.', WALLAcE, of Clearfield. Mr.
Dimthit's nomination was received with
great enthusiasm,. as a tribute to the well
kinnyn sentiment, of the district against the
Lecompton and English Infamies of the Fede
sal Administration, and, therefore, against the
re-election of Mr. Rama to the United States
Senate as the embodiment of these infamies.

him and Mr. BIGLER. This charge, so far as

not yet been denied. It is the right of the
people of the district to demand, and the duty
of Mr. Duanur to announce, the principles

which he seeks their suffrages. It may throw

Death's Doings Abroad.
A few days ago, we announced the death of
Mr. I. K. Baum, the civil engineer, whose
name will be permanently identified with the
Great Eastern steamboat. He seems to have
beeri exhausted by the fatigue and mental strain
caused by his efforts to complete that great
construction. We have now to mention the
demise of two other well-known Englishmen,
Sir JAMES STEPIJEN and Colonel WILDMAN.
Sir JAMES Srurrics has departed at the ad
vanced age of seventy-one. He abandoned
MC law, in which his practice was extensive
and lucrative, to take office, under the Liver.
pool Administration, in 1813, and gradually
advanced, from being Consul to the Colonial
Department, to the permanent undr:r-seereta
ryship of the Colonies. On retiring, in 1817.
he was knighted, and, in 1899, was appointed
'Regius Professor of Modem History to his
'Alma Mater, the University of Cambridge, an
office which he held when he died. He con
tributed numerous articles to the Edinburgh
Review, a selection from which was published
in two volumes as "Essays in Ecclesiastical
Biography." In 1851, ho published his eg Lec
tures on the History of Prance," both of which
are popular in England. In politics he was
liberal, and was decided in his anti-slavery
principles.
Colonel WILDMAN, who was Lord BYRON'S
school-mate at Harrow, will be chiefly remem
bered as, the owner and restorer of Newatead
Abbey. , He purchased BYRON'S Nottingham
property for a very considerable sum—as
much as $BOO,OOO, we have heard, and ex
pended at least as much more upon putting the
Abbey into perfect repairmstoring it with ju
dicious taste, and making additions to it in
character with the original design. Colonel
Mimes is mentioned, with the eulogy he
merits, in MOORE'S Life of Byron, and also in
his own Diary. When we visited Newstead
Abbey, in 1838, the repairs were far from com
pleted. It was pleasing to see with what care
Colonel WILDMAN had preserved every relic of
Bruer( in the dwelling which his genius has
immortalized. Tho London Times, which an
nounced his demihe as having occurred at New
stead,, on the 20th September, says: « The
kindness and Iffierality with which, as owner
of the picturesque domain of Newatead, the
deceased threw open at all times his house and
grounds'to the public of the thickly-peopled
neighborhood, will cause the regret excited by
his death to spread far beyond the circle of his
fkmily and private acquaintances." An inte
resting account of Colonel WILDS tie will be
found in W4anisovors Invran's sketch of hi,
visit to Newstead. The deceased had served
with distinction in the Peninsular War and at
Waterloo. At one time he commanded the
Seventh Hussars.
rArWe call attention to the advertisement of
Moses Thomas & Sons.- The residence on Locust
-west of. William street, West Philadelphia,' which
they Will offer for sale on theath instant, is, tu all

Hon. Richhrdson: L. Wright.
This gentleman;The Administration candi
daie for ,A.uditor General of Pennsylvania, has
Just returned from a canvass of the State. In
Ills speech before the Young Iden's .Union
Democratic Club of, this city, on Tuesday
evening; he 'told his audience that ho had
travelled through forty-flve counties, and he
felicitated them and himselfAion the fact that
ho ‘, expected to receive the vote of every re-
liable and honest Democrat in the Common
wealth," on Tuesday next. We have taken
some pains to watch Mr. WRIGHT'S progress
through the interior. His industry has been
apparent, his appeals for votes constant, and
Lis refe;ences to himself, and his capacities,
vale as modest as they should have been. But
we have not seen, in any of his arguments, a sin
gle word in reference to the great question
now in issue before the people.
Mr. Wnianr is a man of many opinions and
many words, and few reserved. Ho has occu
pied a number of important public positions.
When the present Administration of the
General Government betrayed the principle
which created it, Mr. Wniairr supported it,
not merely in public meetings, but by his
votes in the Legislature. Ile never thought
then that the harniony of the party would be
disturbed by the turpitude of our rulers at
Washington, nor that it was a shame to reopen
the old issues, which all Democrats had re
garded as settled by the Presidential election
of 1856. Now, however, when a candidate
before the people doubly connuitted—lirst, by
his own acts, and second, by the resolutions of
the Convention which nominated bini-4o the
fullest endorsement of Mr: Beciwart and his
Territorial policy, this frank, outspoken man
suddenly becomes mysterious hi regard to that
which only recently aroused all his enthusiasm,
and pooh-poohs the principles which lie at
the very basis of our freo institutions, and con
stitute the soul of the Democratic party. He
has not vouchsafed either to deny his commit-
tale to the treacheries of the President, so
amply endorsed by the last Administration
State Convention, or to denounce these
treacheries, or to regret his own course, or to
offer the slightest possible concession to an
honest public sentiment. He tells us, indeed,
that the office to which ho aspires is not a po
litical office, and that ho will not discuss
political topics as a candidate. Here ho is in
conflict, not only with the Administration Co
nvention, but with Mr. TYLER, the chairman of
the Administration State central committee,
the Administration Executive city committee,
and last, not least,.with Mr. REED, the Admin-
istratiou leader—all of which high authorities
gravely assure the people that Mr. WRIGHT is
running as a candidate pledged to sustain the'
course of the Administration, and that the re
sult of the election oh Tuesday next will either
be an approval or a condemnation of that Ad
ministration. How does Mr. IVarour recon
cile this contradiction of his own declarations?
Very few people in this State care about the
office of Auditor General. Mr. COORRAN, the
opponent of Mr. Wazoar, is a very excellent
man, and, we presume, would administer the
office as well as any other who could be found.
But in this crisis any ono who votes for Mr.
WRIGHT for Auditor General votes to sustain
the platform upon which he stands, as illustra
ted by the Administration oracles already re
ferred to. It is this which adds gravity to the
canvass, and renders the comparatively trifling
position tbr which Mr. WRIGHT Is a candidate
one of very considerable importance. If he
had been pot forward, and were now advocated
simply on the ground that he is an honest man,
abundantly qualified to discharge the duties of
this office, and wholly disconnected from the
proscriptions of Mr. BUCHANAN and his Cabi
net, wo believe there is not a Democrat who
would not cheerfully have voted for Min. It
will not do for Mr. WRIGHT, therefore, to try
to escape the responsibility, alike of his own
action before his nomination, and of those who
may be regarded as the organs of the Admi
nistration party. It elected, it will not be his
victory alone, but that of the Administration,
and that of the most dangerous heresy that
politicians have ever attempted to incorporate
into the Democratic creed. If elected, that
result will be heralded everywhere as a-proof
that Peunsylvania—the only ono of all the free
States—has formally placed the Demdcratic
party upon this heresy, and has formally repu
diated the long and well-established principles
of our faith.
Let us put a casts to Mr. Waraltr„ which We
trust he will answer The next time ho addresses
the' people. Suppose a Democratic Conven
tion -in Virginia, or Kentucky, or Alabama,
controlled by the central power at Washing
ton, formally repudiated doctrines acceptable
to the people of either of these States, and
made this repudiation a test of orthodoxy :
does any man think that the Democratic lead
ers, or Democratic papers, or Democratic
masses in that quarter of the Union would
sanction such treachery, or vote for the can
didates representing iti When Jelin A. GAta-
BLII was nominated for Canal Commissioner,
ten years ago, by the Pittsburg Convention,
which endorsed the Wilmot Proviso. the pre
sent President, Mr. BUCHANAN, everywhere
repudiated alike the candidate and the plat
form. We are not able to say whether Mr.
WRIGHT voted the Democratic ticket in 1848,
hut we suspect it is in evidence that he has
sometimes repudiated candidates because the
platform did not suit him.
When Judge DotiaLAB carried the regular or
ganization of Illinois with him, in every ono of
the ninety-eight counties in that State, except
three, and clinched his claim to the admiration
and sympathy of the country by laying down
the accepted creed of the party in every one
of those counties, Mr. BuenANAN's entire Ad
ministration, his office-holders in Pennsylva
nia, and, doubtless, Mr. WRIGHT himself, (for
he was in full communion with these influences
at the time,) discarded regular nominations,
and refused to follow the regular old-fashioned
Democratic flag—and, within the last month,
these same authorities stamped with the seal of
their approbation an irregular Opiii'Mien can
didate for Governor in Texas, who defeated
the regular Democratic party, because that Op
position candidate favored the policy of the
President.
Now, we should like Mr. Witmer to toll
us whether, in thin first place, he thinks it
the duty of a Democrat who believes conscien
tiously in Democratic principles, to support
any candidate running on a platform hostile to
these principles, or whether, in the second
place, the Administration leaders who speak
for him, and who have placed him upon such a
platform, aro not guilty of the most Impudent
assumptions in daring to call in question the
Democracy of Men who refuse to vote for him
—they, themselves, having within the last
year been convicted, by the most undoubted
testimony, of repudiating the regular organi
zation of the party whenever it suited them,
and of striking hands with &organizers whose
only object was the destruction of that patty.
We desire the union and harmony of the
Democracy; but this can never be attained
until we eradicate, root and branch, the pesti
lential mischiefs endorsed and sanctioned by
the men who put RICHARDSON L. WRIGHT in
nomination for Auditor General. Tho Demo
crats of other States have seen the wisdom of
this course, and are marching with solid co
lumns under the old flag of the Democratic
party. If we are but true to ourselves, and
make a broad and deep mark on Tuesday next,
against the tyrannies, proscriptions, and
treacheries of the Federal Administration, in
the only way left to us, (that, for instance, of
covering the Administration State ticket with
an overwhelming defeat,) we shall, in our
opinion, do more to unite the Democratic
party of Pennsylvania upon principle than
by electing twenty such tickets.
This is no struggle for men. It is a conflict for
tho right—for the equality of the States of
this.llnion—fer the sovereignty of the Indi
vidual man, and for the rule of the majority in
those sanctuaries of freedom, the Territories of
the United States. We are so little influenced
by personal feeling against Mr. WRIGHT in this
matter, that wo hope hereafter, when, like an
honest man that he is, he shall recall his errors
of the last year, and stand upon an unshaken
and upright Democratic platform, to give him
our support for a much hotter ,office than
that he Is now so anxious to obtain, and
which we trust he will not receive, because ho
is the embodiment of a doctrine which con
tains within it the seeds of the demoralization
and annihilation of tho Democratic party.

THE PRESS.-PIMADELPHIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1859.
Ungland. Pranee, dud Chind.
The somewhat trite proverb . el it is a had •
wind that blows nobody good," is applicable
to the Anglo-Chinese difficulty. A few weeks
ago, England suffered under her usual inter
mittent fever of apprehension and doubt, re
specting the chances of a Prertell invasion.
John Bull meowed with marked coolness and
undisguised distrust the assurance that France
i meditated no hostility, open or secret, to Eng
land. Just then, when the doubt continued,
thodgh a little' shaken, perhaps, by the dis
armament which NAPOLEON promptly ordered,
came the disastrous news that the Chinese had
defeated the French and English troops, with
great slaughter, and had prevented M. no
BOtiRDOOLON and the lion. Mr. 13nues, re
spectively ambassadors from NAPOLEON and
VICTORIA, from going to the Emperor at Pe
kin, under the permissive conditions of last
year's treaty.
Tho result is the British lion is roaring very
loudly, and the Gallic cock is not only crow
ing at the top of his voice, but is also dap
ping his wings in a remarkable manner.
Franco and England, laying aside minorquar
rels, are again about fighting side by side, in
China, and, if they be not defeated, may direct
great changes in that country ore they have
done with it, The greater heat extracts the
lesser, and so tho great quarrel with Ohina
throws in the shade the petty, peddling (filler.
ences which well nigh set Franco and England
together by the ears a few weeks ?Since,
Ere long, in all reasonable expectation, a
large Anglo-French fleet will ride in Chinese
waters, bearing a much more considerable
Military force than Europe has yet lauded
upon the soil of the Celestial Empire. ' What
with twelve to fifteen thousand French sol
diers, and perhaps twice as many from Eng
land and Hindostan, there may be between
forty and fifty thousand men in the army which
will be employed to punish China. The ulti
mate result, most probably, will be to throw
China completely open to the trade,, enter
prise, and intercourse of the world.
While England and Franco are acting in
combination upon the waters or the shores of
Chinn, no ono need dread their having a colli
sion in Europe. Thus, the war-passages at
the mouth of the Peiho river may securp the
further pacification for a couplo of years
longer. In politics, as well as in mechanics,
to use the old lady's expression, "there is
wheels within wheels."
The San Juan Island Difficulty.
The London newspapers to tho 21st ult.,
received by the Hungarian, treat the San
Juan Island Difficulty in a rather 'sang froid
manner. No notice whatever is taken of it
in the London Moos. Lord ?Mammon's
own organ, the Morning Pod, rates General
Iliatmnr very roundly, declaring that his con
duct has been totally opposed to tho first prin
ciples of public law, that it may lead to com
plications in comparison with which the Maine
and former Oregon questions will appear tri
fling and contemptible; but concludes by
hoping that diplomacy will consider and ho
left to adjust tho question. The &al, the
Bauncr.and4fonnmt organ, also berates Gene ,
ral HAnNEr, but hopes that England and
America havo too much senso to quarrel about
trifles, and asks "if the two Governments can
not arrive at a satisfhctoty understanding, theft
why', instead of allowing bad blood to be gene
rated, should they not refer the question in
dispute to the arbitration of a friendly
Power 1" The 'Daily News, organ of the ad
vanced Liberal or Progress party, states the
facts ' as known in England, and quietly sneer
ing of the New York Herald's blatant specu
lations, says : We may confidently put aside
these extravagances. Both Governor Dove-
LAB and General Mimi? had referred the mat
ter respectively to London and Washington;
and the question will now be treated quietly
and with reason, as becomes the Governments
of the two great divisions of the taco which
speaks the English language."
Our own opinion is that Fmgland would
rather give up the Island of Sari Juan, which
geographically belongs to the Dnited States,
than go to war about it.
It Is a part of the regular duty of the Con.
siltation, Herald, and aesna'ohno.ntitar A.l _
ministration journals, to read Democrats who
are unwilling to endorse tlurboresues of the
Administration...out ot' tbo, Democratic party.
If they derive any aatisfaCtion from, this
amusement, they are perfectly :welcome to It,
as it does no possible harm to the of
their malevolence: But the public is Some
what puzzled to know why it is necessary to
repeat the operation so frequently on the
same individuals 7 Why cannot we have ono
good, general, complete, and thorough read
ing -out process, by which the whole matter
will be ended ''l If it Is necessary to road the
same men 'out of the party week after week,
and month after month, it must be a very
easy scatter to return to it, or those repeated
expulsions would be unnecessary. There is
certainly something lacking In the mental or
physical constitution of the self-appointed
guardians of the Democratic fold. They
either assume a power they do not possess, or
their efforts to exercise it, according to their
own showing, are perfectly impotent.
[Correepontlenee of The Frees.]
WARIIINOTON, October 3, 1859
I bars ascertained from good authority that the
Government has a secret agent, Mr. B. F. Slocum,
now on the Southern Atlantis coast, making inqui
ries and explorations in 'relation to the landing of
cargoes of Africans. Mr. Buchanan is by no means
satisfied with the doings of Ms officials In the South.
The statement made in this correspondence, in a
former letter, that the slave traffic had been vigor
ously opened at certain points on this coast, has
been peremptorily denied in many quarters. I
havo no doubt that tho President and his advisors
believe that this traffic is being extensively car
ried on. In order to satisfy themselves of the
truth of my own statement, I would suggest that
they call upon Justice Campbell, of the Supreme
Court, and get his experience. I think, too, there
would be no difficulty in obtaining proofs from
many leading Southern mon—a number of wheat
believe that those Afrioans are essential to the
welfare of the South, and that, in a short time, a
pressing necessity will demand that they shall be
brought in In droves. Tho President will probably
be convinced when the secret agent referred to shall
have made his report, that the inhuman traffic is
being industriously conducted.
Mr. Buchanan expects to be in Lancaster to-day.
He vlsited that county previous to the last election,
and enacted, while there, a feat in politics which
added some thousands to the Opposition majority.
How many votes he will now maks foe the name
party the election alone will tell. Ho lo exceed
ingly severe upon all these who stand oat against
his policy, particularly upon the members of your
State Administration, and will insist upon the con
tinuance of the tyranny which has marked his ca

Mr. Buchanan will remain in Lancaster the beet
part of the present week, and will ho duly intro
duood to the people of the county as ono of tho
raresteuriusitles at the agricultural fair now being
hold near that city. It is stated in Washington
that Mr. Konigunchor—tho Palstatfian host of the
Ephrata Mountain Springs, and en old-line Whig
to boot—who is the president of the agricultural
fair aforesaid, has compelled Mr. Buchanan's
presenoe in Lancaster, as the only thing wanting
to complete the entire overthrow of the Ado- 11111 E'
tration party in thatquartor. Mr. Swan, the post.
mister of Lancaster, bus heartily sevondod this pro
position of Mr. Konigmacher, and has added to his
appeal the invocation that if the President should
noel there ins time, the Republicans of Lancaster
county, who intend meeting to-morrow, will aban
don their assemblago in utter despair the moment
they hoar of his arrival in their midst. Thls--to
borrow the similo of Henry Clay, who assorted
that if the British had knoWn that James Buoban•
an had enlisted among the Pennsylvania troops,
during the late war for the relief of Baltimore, they
would instantly have re-embarked for the shores
of Albion—determined the President to desert
Genoral Bowman, Judge Black, Flinn, and Jenks,
in order that ho might once more restore harmony
to the Democracy of hie own county, and fill the
ranks of the Opposition with incurable dissonsions.
The President was so indignant at this allusion of
Mr. Clay to his valor, on this memorable occasion,
that ho contemplated a challenge. I trust he will
not call me to aocount for reviving hie recollection
of that painful event.

THE COMIIISSIONERS AT THE Nee`:-DAY PRAYER
511ETING.—In compliance with a resolution provlouslY
adopted, the American Board of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions, now holding their sessions in this
city. adjourned at 11'4' o'clock yesterday morning. for
the purpose of attending the Business Hen'. Pm/ or
?sleeting, at Jayne's Hall, at 1?.. As this tact had been
general') circulated, the hall aa, literally crowded at
the appointed hour. The eXerel es were conducted IT
George 11. Eluart, Eat and the opening prayer was
made b> the senerable hr. Nest, who has been a min
ister of the Gospel nrry fss e scars. A ery largelllllll
- or ministers from a distance Were present, and par
ticipated us the CAOITISCI.
Bel. John Chmmhers was designated to make the
welcoming speech to the ministerial brethren Irons
abroad, and to the Res. Dr. Edgar, senior officer of the
Irish depubition recently arrived in this countr), which
he did in his si nah warn. and enthusiastic style, closing
his remarks with the exclamation, " Weleewe! wel
come! welcome thrice welcome to our hearts and to
our homes. Erin Wires!) t Erin gobragh! Ireland
form or!"
In the courne of the exercires, winch were of a lurid)
toterehting character, brief addresses were made by
inihstc mune); front the Chuctvw Nato , n, rerun, and the
Sandwich Wanda.
Rev. Dr. Gleason, v. hn has been laboring among the
Choctaw Indians, said that they hind now in m,ny
places their churches and schools, in which the nato es
collected for worship, the latter often becoming so
deep!) interested that after the preaching services were
over they would continue in social prayer until the
hrenk of day.
ll3Rev. Mr. Bin gham,lately returned from the Fandrn eh
Islands, gave scone interesting facts with regard to the
missionary work in that region, ,tating that one church
there numbered alsmt fig e 0011.1311,11110n1bAra.
Rev. Mt. Perkins, of Persia, gave a glowing account
of the effect which the news of the ret ival 111 America
had had upon the converts to Christianity in that coun
try. The prevailing prayer in the assemblies of those
People now wne that Jesus would allow them to take
hold of the hem 01 his garment, implying their desire
fir u closer walk with Christ, their accepted Redeemer.
At about ten minutes before one o'clock Rev. Dr.
Edgar rose and occupied a few motnents, which, as we
understood, wore intended merely as preparatory to n
name lengthY address, which ha expeets soon to deliver
in this city. the chief blue was, the present religious
1110 \ eunent in Ireland, and the regiments it was eliciting
trout the mentor press in Europe. With regard to the
prarttral eflects of the work. iwhich by some woe
characterized as the result of mere animal excitement..

the rood elite pelple. 'Grog/hoes sere being depopu

influence.
A PLEASANT LITERARY RESORT.—Among the
indications of Lames.. =tenni/a in'this city. in the
Boot line, the new firm of Samuel Hazard. Jr., No. rti
Chestnut street, ( formerly Hazard Brother.), deserves
special notice. The capacious room now occupied by
Mr. Ifazard, twenty-five by one hundred and forty feet,
is certainly one of the moat admirably arranged and
best-lighted book estahlishinents in the Country. and in
one respect is intended to meet a public want which
the community, we doubt not, will show their apprecia
tion of te a very substantial way.
• •
Almost every large city has its pinilie book establish
ment, wly eh is made a kind of headquarters for the lite
rati. Appleton's Building arts - wens to this in New York,
as does the house of Ticknor & Field in Boston. Ha
card's, wo think, is destined hencefortti to occupy this
position in Philadelphia. In all its internal arrange
ments it hat been made to reseme, as nearly as possi
ble a largo public library.
- .
The entire stock of books has been arranzed so that a
stranger may, without any diinculty.enter the store and
select the book he wishes either to purchase or consult,
every class being labelled. over the Ai:lvies. according
to the character of its division—Travel, Biorrapby,
Languages, Arts, History, Theology, Poetry, Novels,
3lisoellarico. etc. In the centre of the store is a large
table, surrounded with comfortab'e armchairs, and sup
plied with writing conveniences and serums gems of
foreign and domestic periodical literature, for the use of
visiterg. The double Sr era of novelty and convenience
presented in this new book establishment can hardly
fail to attract public attention. It would be foreign to ou r
purpose here to speak of the extent and character of
Mr. Hazard's stock. Ire does that much batter than we
could, himself. in another part of oar paper to-day. Ost
feature we would teen 103, however, that he com
bines a statt , nery department, in which a fine
assortment of the celebrated tinted paper of Pe
la nue is constantly kept, UPVIL which tatttsta are
etatuped without extra char-e: and still another, that
upon two tables to the store there are books rangin g
through a gradation df prices, from sir cents, to books
worth more than a riondr d dollars each. which may
furnish some idea of the capacity of the house to snit all
tastes.
