The Italian Queittion.
When will the Italian difficulty end ? How ?
—These aro questions, Which every body who
bestows a thought upon foreign politics con
stantly puts to his ,own, mind and to his
neighbor's. Lately, alley a lirie(and brilliant
Campaign, LombSrdi' changed Misters, and
was made overby'Austria to France, by whom
it was given to Piedmont. This was a great
deal more than Vwron EMMANUEL had a right
to look for, considering that, ten years before,
the result of the Battle of Novara, which
drovoids father frOni the throne into exile,
had literally placed Piedmont—at the feet of
Austria. .
• Moro than Lombardy, however, is to be
considered. - Austria was allowed to retain
Venetia, in which are continued the misrule
and discontent which originally were the Main
causes of the recent war. It can scarcely be
expected that Venetia will much longer sub
mit to this. , •
Next, there is dissatisfaction and disaffection
in the Papal dominions. The three Duchies,
governed by sovereigns of the house of Haps
burg-Lorraine, ejected their rulers, and their
example has not been lost upon the Romagna,
which (tia well as , Tuscany, Modena, and
Parma) has actually annexed itself to Pied
mont, though VICTOR EIIIIANUEL, as yet, has
not accepted this accession of territory. At
present it may be said of the Duchies, what
Jon KEIIIILE said of EDMUND KEAN'S acting,
that they area terribly in earnest. l ! Nothing
but the extreinestforce will induce the Duchies
to take back their ejected mii-rulers.
There is an impression among political peo
ple in Paris that NArciLuoar will not sanction
any plait for forcing the old, bad rulers upon
the Duchies, but that an appeal will be made,
in each case, to universal suffrage. That, it
cannot be doubted, would be fatal to the
hopes of the Grand Dukes., Nor can it be be
lieved that the inhabitants of the Duchies will
voluntarily abandon their earnest purpose of
becoming subjects of the gallant King of Sar
dinia.—a purpose which Austria will resist to
the uttermost. On the other hand, England
has declared, (in Lord JOUN RUSSELL'S accent
speech at Aberdeen,) that she will not only be
no party to, but will strongly resist, any at
tempt to force upon Central Italy obnoxiceis
rulers or a form of government of which it
disapproves.
There has been broached the idea of annex-
ing Modena loyarma. But it is scarcely pos
sible that NAPOLEON can thus advance the in
terests of the Duchess-Regent of Parma, whose
private letters, heaping all sorts of personal
abuse upon hithself, have lately been pub
lished, '
Under any circumstances, it is highly im
probable that Prince NAPOLVON will obtain
the crown of Central Italy, or of part of it.
He has been decidedly successful, in Italy as
well as in France, in making himself thorough
ly unpopular.
MAZZINI, who was one of the Roman Trium
virs in 1849, his colleagues being Arinstm and
&MI, in which capacity his administration of
affairs lasted only three months—Naples and
France omPrpowering Rome by force of arms—
has addressed a letter to VICTOR EMAIANUEL, in
which ho promises him the aid of the ultra
Republican party, provided that ho will go on
and liberate Italy, suggests the seizure of the
whole of Italy ; to convert it into one kingdom
from the Alps to the sea, bidding defiance to
France, Austria, and as many other European
Powers as may oppose such an arrangement.
This is a proposition castor to make than
bring into action. It shows, however, that
the extreme liberal party in Italy, of whom
3Ltzzurt is the recognised head, have groat
confidence in the Ring of Sardinia. " -
The greatest difficulty of all, in Romagna
and in the Duchies, is the want of money.
Several attempts have been made to obtain
loans, In . the London money market, but with.
out succesa. Thts, we apprehend, will be the
great evil with which Italy must 6ntend.
Question for Administration Organs.
Will the Administration organs support
Judge DOUGLAS; should he be nominated by
the ,Charleston Convention for President in
1860? They are'in the litqt of reminding the
Democracy that the organization of the party
is the first thing to be considered ;' that a re
gular nomination is more binding upon Demo
- 4.lna 1.4:44 auo
decree of a Convention is to be obeyed, no
matter what doctrines it may lay down. It is
true, their practices do not square very closely
with their professions. They refused to recog
nise the Democratic organization of Illinois,
although, almost by acclamation, that organi
zation made DOUGLAS its candidate for Sena
tor; and they openly struck hands, Under the
advice of Attorney General BLAOK, with the
Republican's, They , rejoiced over the election
of General Frousrou 51 Governor of Texas)
although he defeated a regular Democratic
candidate. And Arr. &moms has issued an
edict that no man shall hold office, great OF
small, under his Administration, who dares to
avow preferences for DOUGLAS. Would it not
be well, thee, for the Administration to settle
tho question, before the nomination at Charles
ton is made, whether they intend to support
that nomination 4°134 it fail upon the qeotor
from Illinois ? We ask a fair question, and
await a frank reply.
Breakers e Ahead!
The last news from England is that rumors
were afloat of difficulties in the British Min
istry, growing out of the Chinese affair.
The truth of these rumors would not sur
prise any person. It is said that Franco, dis
covering that it is England which would he
served by another Chinese war, is undecided
about Joining in it, and it might have been ex
pected, from the strange mixture of parties in
the Palmerston Ministry, that a difficulty
would arise whenever John Bull was made to
speak of going to war. Mr. MILNER GIBSON,
who obtained the Parliamentary censure of
the original China war in 1857, in which be was
backed by 'RICHARD COBDEN SINIJOIIN BRIGHT,
leaders of the Manchesterreace section ef poli
ticians, is now a Cabinet Minister, who cannot
consistently remain a member of the Govern
ment, Wit. initiate a new war with China, and
upon a larger scale than that which Parliament
condemned. Neither can Conpcs and Bainier,
the two most popular politicians now in Eng
land, consent to support the Palmerston Ad
ministration, if It plunge the country,sonce
more, into the horrors and expense of warfare.
These be the "breakers ahead," which
threaten the very existence of the Palmerston
Ministry, and these we predicted on its forma
nob, last summer... If the Ministry should
break np, before Parliament meets in Febnt
ay, Lord PALMERSTON will scarcely be very
.sorry, seeing that ho will thereby be relieved
from the necessity of introducing a new and
extensive measure of Parliamentary Reform,
which, old Tory as be is, ho would fain avoid.
137" The New York Herald and the Public
Ledger, of this city, are extremely anxiolla to
furnish victims to gratify the strong feeling in
the South which has grown out of the Harper's
Ferry tragedy. ,The Herald would like to see
GSBRIT SMrru and FUEL , DOUGLASS tc hung,
htsvn, and quartered," and to this end is en•
gaged in the amiable pastime of calling upon
Governor MORGAN to surrender these two dis
tinguished fanatics to the authorities of Vir
ginia. The Ledger, inspired by the same
humane sentiment, insists that a well known
citizen of Philadelphia—the secretary of the
Anti-slavery Association of this State, and,
we believe, a member of the society of
Friendsshould be punished as an accessory
"before the fact," because he published cer
tain information after the news of the tragedy
was received. Unfortunately for these excel
lent journals, however, Governor Wm, of
Virginia, does not seem to be very anxious for
it the blood of the martyrs;" but, on the con
trary; prefers resorting to peaceful and morel
remedies. So, we fear that the it labor of
love" of the Herald and the Ledger will prove
to be vain.

THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, OCTOI3EII. 25, 1859.
An Indian Commonwealth.
The St. Louis Republican of the 21st lust.
publishes in full the - inessaionf Jour; Ross,
President of the Cherokee Nation, transmitted
to "the National Committee and Council, in
National Council convened,' of that nation,
on the 3d of October.. The Republican states
that the message is set up from the MS. of the
Chief, written in a clear, round hand, and that
his signature is a beautiful piece of chirogra
phy. The message is ono of the best-nl•ittr
public documents we have over read, and very
few of the messages of the white Governors
of the Union iqual it in style or in the pro
priety and wisdom of its suggestions. Mr.
Ross advocates, In forcible and eloquent lan
guage, the adoption of measures for the difth
sion of education, morality, and temperate
and industrious habits among the Cherokees.
Ho addresses to his dusky legislators a warn
ing which might with much, propriety be ad
dressed to many of the white legislators of
the country, by telling them that 4 , As indi
viduals you can do much, by example and
precept, to inculcate harmony, flobriety, purity
and patriotism, in your respective neighbor
hoods and districts. As legislators you can
do more to advance the public good, by rising
above personal considerations, enacting judi.
cious laws, and providing the necessary means
and the proper men to execute them. I speak
thus pointedly because I think you will agree
with me that the times demand it."
Among th 6 most serious evils felt in the
Territory, to which he specially directs atten
tion, are the disasters caused by the inefficient
manner in which the liquor laws aro enforced,
and he suggests that greater penalties should
be imposed upon solicitors and sheriffs where
they fail to enforce them.
The Territory appears to be defective in
prisons; and until the c( national jail," which
is now in contemplation, is constructed, he
suggests that criminals should be condemned
to hard' labor on some work of public utility.
The national debt of the Territory is about one
hundred thousand dollars, for which he propo
ses to provide either by taxation, or by ceding
what is termed the fc neutral land.' to the Go
vernment or the United States. Upon this
land it appdhrs that some American'titizens
have ci squatted," cut down its timber, and re
moved its lead and coal deposits, of which Mr.
Ross Justly complains. He also complains of
the course of the United States marshals in
entering the country at pleasure and snaking
arrests of Cherokee citizens; and he recom
mends the appointment of a delegation to pro.
coed to Washington city, there to settle, by
negotiation, all questions pending between the
Cherokees and the United States Government.
Ho refers to the report of tho Superintendent
of the Public Schools, from which it appears
that a large number of children are in attend
ance upon them, and that' they are almost en
tirely under the instruction of native teachers.
He complains that much of the public land Is
monopolized by whites, who claim the rights
of Cherokees by virtue of marriage with na
lives, and whe are gradually obtaining posses
sion of large portions of the Territory with a
view to speculation. Ile also complains of the
I loss of time and property which results from
the adjudication of disputes between Cherokees
`and citizens of the United States by United
States agents, or judicial tribunals which re
side at a great distance, from the places at
which difficulties occur. Ile suggests that
it the right to levy and collect taxes from tra
ders and others, who reside in the country, and
to hold them accountable for a violation of our
civil rights, is so manifestly just its itself, that
I am inclined to believe it would not be denied
,by the Government."
The condition of the Cherokee nation is
well calculated to elicit the sympathies of tho
people of the United States. They have made
the only experiment which possesses a remote
chance of success, of establishing and neon
nuing a civilized republican form of Indian
government. No other.numerous body of the
original owners of this continent will be at all
likely to resist, the destructive influences of
white associations upon the 111-fated abort-
gincs. If their experiment fails, it will cvi
dently be through no want of intellectual en
dowments on the part of their chief; and, for
the sake of humanity, and the credit of our
Government, it is to be hoped that it will per
these linfottunate red
men, a wise and liberal policy, and spare no
pains to render the perpetuation of their race
as feasible as possible.
The Great Eastern.
It appears somewhat doubtful whether the
Groat Eastern will leave England during the
winter. The London Times threw -donbt
Upon the 'probability of a voyage,
The latest accounts state that she reached
Holyhead, from Portland, on the afternoon of
the 10th inst.—malting the voyage in forty
eight hours, and the distance 550 miles. This
would give less than twelve miles an hour for
her average speed, hut a speed of seventeen
miles an hour was easily obtained, without any
special exertion. There is a difference of
opinion as to whether her motion was slight or,
heavy and rolling. The vessel steered well,
all accounts concur in stating, and, though SO
numb iron is used in her construction, which
usually interferes with the magnetic influences
of the needle, the compaoe§ woro marvel
lously exact,
At all events, the Groat Eastern cannot
leave England, it she does come hither, before
the middle of November, at the earliest. She
was to remain at Holyhead for ton or twelve
days, after which she would proceed to South
ampton, which she would reach about the 25th
instant, where ber gollers wore to be repaired
under the Inspection of an engineer appointed
by the Government 'board of Trade. lie
will scarcely make her first voyage ifl 010 mid
dle of November, and will probably winter at
Souiluimpton.
A JUST TRIBUTN PROM' 4 NEW TORE PAPER
TO VIE ARM-STREET THEATRE.—i r ogjertlay's
New York Tribune speaks of the performance
of it Dot" at the Arch-street Theatre In the
following terms!
"The ply which, of all others, has given moot
delight to New Yorkers, this season, has ;net with
a like enthuslastie reception in Philadelphia, where
the admirable company at the Arch-street Theatre
do it full justice. In some reapeeta the drama is
better noted in that city than it wee in New York,
and in some other regards the Nimbi effects are
much better, because much more natural. Wo
mention the moving scene of the cottage in the se
cond act as the moat remarkable instance. In
New York, by a curious oversight of Mr. Bonet
eau% while the cottage moved to ono side to show
the action in the street, the people inside the house
remained stationary, so that when the mechanical
effect was consummated, the actors who had been
in the middle of the room, were left close against
the wall, without having moved out of their chairs
—the sides of the house having approached them.
At the Arch-street Theatre this blander is reme
died, and the house and inhabitants move together,
as they should. In one or two other respects, toA,
the mechanical arrangements have been mush im
proved.
"As to the acting, while in some regards it is
far inferior to that at the Winter Garden, in other
things the New York company could have learned
mush from the Philadelphians. Dot is admirably
played by Mrs. John Drew, whose performance is
not marred by the dialect, and the disposition to
make out of place low-comedypoints, which die
figured certain scenes of MRS Bshertson. But the
glory of the piece is the Tilly Illowhgv, which is
acted by Mr. J. B. Clarke in a manner so artistic,

Letter from "Occasional."
(Correspondence of The Prem.]
IVdsutterrox, October 21, 1852.
You will remember I annonnecd, some weeks
ago, that the postmaster at Cincinnati, Iron. James
J. Baran, would, in all probability, be removed.
The statement was denied in certain quarters, but
as I rarely speak exoept upon the amplest autho-,
rity, I calmly awaited the denouement. Mr. 'Baran
has been removed. This ill-advised and extraor
dinary sot will male great excitement-1n Ohio.
There is but one cause for it. Mr. Baran is the
friend of Stephen A. Douglas. Ire was one of the
earliest and
,most enthusiastic supporters of Mr.
Buohanan's nomination and Administration, and
during the sessions of the Convention at Cincinnati
I exerted himself, in connection with the Ponnsylva
eta delegation, to bring about that desideratum.
lie has represented Cincinnati in the Congress of
the United States, and has been twice elected may
or of that oily. The post office was far below his
deserte; and yet, from this comparatively subordi
nate position he has been ejected, simply because
he has exercised the right of declaring his prefer
ence for President. Mr. Faxen is the intimate
friend of Mr. Senator Pugh, of Ohio, who will no
doubt bring the matter before tho Senate.' Mr,
Pugh's connections with the Southern men will
enable him filly to vindicate his friend, and to ex
pose the Administration. It is a manifestation of
the strange hallucination of the President that at
the fery time the whole country is dimming the
cause which produced the death of poor 13roderiok,
and when the proscriptions and calumnies resorted
to against that lamented patriot are being revived
'in the minds of all men, another blow should be
struck at one of our most distinguished Democrats,
and another victim should ho offered up to gratify
the malevolence which enema to have become des•
perate in hia determination to destroy the Demo
cratic party beforo the expiration of his Presiden
tial term. Lam told that this act was MN Bre . tha-
WM'S own, and it is certain that at twist one mem
ber of his Cabinet publicly and Indignantly pro
teats against it.
The James Buchanan who has beettmOtted
private, secretary to the President is the senor the
only surviving brother of the President, the Bev.
Edward Y. Buchanan, an Episcopal clergyman in
your city. He has lately been admitted to the
bar, and from all that I hear of him li an excel
lent and exemplary young man.
The poet of private secretary shas undergone
quite a number of changes since the retirement of
James Buchanan Henry. It is a highly important
position, requiring censiderablo. teat and ability.
In this connection I ought not to omit to state, that
the Mr. Shannon who acted as pritaste BOOPIAItry
before the appointment of the last young Bucha.
can was a devoted member of the Amerloan patty,
and not long ago en efficient editor of one of their
organs. It is not doubted in Washington that Mr.
,Senator Bigler was the engineer of Mr. Shannon's
promotion to this confidential connection. Mr.
Senator Bigler is a grateful man. It appears that
when he was running for Governor the second time
in your State, Mr. Shannbn, then an active member
of the American party, undertook, for a certain
consideration, to turn a good portion of the Ameri
can vote of Dauphin county into the Bigler column,
and having performed, or attempted to perform,
this act, he had a peculiar claim upon Mr. Bigler,
who has recognised it in this handsome and public
manner. Your Harrisburg readers will understand
these remarks.
No private secretary, for years past, has been
more popular, by the way, than Mr. Sidney Web
ster, who acted in that capacity during all the
Administration of Oen. Pierce. His gentlemanlike
deportment, his courtesy to visitors, especially to Is
dies, and his untiring devotion to the interests of the
President, made him hundreds of friends, who will
always remember him with gratituile. f hope tt
ig'sot improper to add that It is stated and be
lieved hero, that Mr. Webster wilt alertly lead to
the altar the accomplished daughter of one of the
most distinguished and wealthy politicians In the
" Empire State."
Judge Black is a very liberal Cabinet Minister,
after all. Although he has not been able to take
care of any of his Democratic friends in Somerset
and Cambria counties, and in the region around
about hie home in Pennsylvania, I understand
that, like his affectionate friend, Bigler, be has
procured an important appointment for a leading
member of the American party, well known in
Cambria and Blair conntice, lo your State, under
the collector of New York. Tho name of the
new protege of the Judge is Mr. Times Ilaynohls,
formerly of Elmira, and for some time en
active and onergotio opponent of the Demooratio
party.
This magnanimity on the part of Messrs. Black
and Bigler (of course under the sanction of the
President) deserves to be recorded in these pages.
What effect it rosy produce upon Mr. Bnehanan's
Lancaster Mende—particularly those known to be
opposed to the doetrines of the American party,• - and
with whom, during his late visit to " the only Demo
cratic city," ho dined in finch friendly 'communion
—remains to be seen.
The fondness of the Administration for deserters
from tae" Amenutte patty to trot le
these days of political Proscription. Judge Terry,
of California, who performed the handsome aloe of
Administration executioner In a lite memorable
event, was sledding member of the Imeiican party
In that State before he became a leader In ears.
In the apotheosis designed for the illustriourlferry,
in honorof.his artistic consummation of the Wishes
or trio Administration, let it not lie forgotten that
while he struck down a man is halo whple lite had
beep one tribute to genuine , DemeeraitOlrhtb, he
at the eamo time increased his claims upon the con
sideration of our tolerant and pious Mot Magis
trate.
District Attorney Van D f yke, of your city, left
Washington last evening in high spirits. ;He did
not stay at the White Rouse, the illustrious eon of
my father"—Mr. Robert Tyler—having got into
the " spare room" before him. Whether in imi
tation of Mr. 4qttA, who slept with the Captain, the
Chairman of the State Central Committee shared
the same bed with the President, I em not üble to
say; bat it is certain that their companionship has
been of the moat affectionate character, Mr. Van
Dyko has made some headway in his movements
against your Collector Baker, and I would not beat
all astonished if the latter, In order to avold the fate
that has befallen many faithful servants of his Ma
jesty, should conclude to imonte the premises on
Chestnut street.
4. defensive or explanatory attitude is the worst
possible position for a Publio mon of n newspaper.
Precisely such au attitude do most of the Itepubli
cans occupy to-day In their efforts to explain away
Governor Seward's speech on the "Irrepressible
conflict" between the two sections„ North and
South. The Harper's perry raid has been a bad
event for Mr. Seward. Ido not believe that any
man, in or out o r ountry, would more serious
ly frown down any suoh mama, hot, unfortunate
ly for him, his dcalaratiops nrp heipg made the
subject of comment and censure, filld will continue
so to ho made until lie Is nominated.or defeated.

Concert Hall was filled last evening by a fashion

was Joshua R. Giddings, late member of Congress,
of Ohio, and the subject, Scenes in his Congres

notes, was very rapid in enunciation, and was
listened to with the closest attention during the
hour and forty minutes spent in its delivery.
At precisely eight o'clock Mr. 'Giddings ap
peared upon the platform, accompanied by the
members of the Harrison, who occupied seats upon
the platform. Mr. Alexander 'Ervin, Jr. the pre
sident of the Harrison, introduced Mr:Giddings
in a brief speech, in which he referred to the ar
rangements of the Inatitute for the present lec
turing Reason, and stated that already several emi
nent gentlemen, among whom were 3flssrs. Wen
doll Phillips and Home Greeley, bad been en
gaged to lecture at a future period, the former on
the evening of the 3d proximo, and the latter, on
the 2d of December. Mr. Phillips would repeat
his groat lecture on "The Loet Arts," while Mr.
Greeley would deliver a lecture written for the
Harrison, on California and, the Mormon Country.
[Applause.
Mr. Giddings, oncoming forward, war received
with loud applause, and said that, before corn !
manning his lecture, he would allude to a alight
notice which appeared in yesterday morning's
Press, and which referred to the unfounded ru
mors going the mends of the papers in relation to
his connection with the late sad tragedy at Har
per's Ferry. That notice, written by - Col. For
ney, aired of a Philadelphia public a respectful
hearing4or anything he might have to say. Of
Col. Forney he could say nothing but words of
kindness. He was his political opponent; yet he
had always, in their official intercourse, treated
him with the most gentlemanly• courtesy; but
while he appreolated fully the motives which ac
tuated him to the publication of such a matter, he
could not but entertain the hope that nothing of
this sort was necessary to insure for him a kind
hearing before the people of Philadelphia, and the
citizens of his own native State of Pennsylvania.
[Applause.)
In addressing the Harrison Literary Institute,
by whose invitation he was then in Philadelphia,
ho would refrain from anything of a political or
partisan character, and would treat solely of that
branch of literature treating of the Congressional
scones in our country's history. He would tell
them, as far as his recollections would serve him, of
many exciting scenes that had occurred during his
long period of Congressional eon-lee.
.
And the Grid scene to which ho would invite the
attention of his audience was the celebrated con-
test for the right of petition in Congress. In that
contest high among them all ,was John Quincy
Adams. of Massachusetts. jApplatated Any man
who might have been standing in the gallery of
the Rouse of Representatives, January 24, 1842,
would have been the speetater of a most exciting
scene. John White, of Georgia, was inthe chair,
and the House was filled with its members.
In the aisle an old man might have been
seen standing at his desk—a man of me
dium size, of a well-built form, and a most
dignified beating, slowly taking paper after paper
from a large bundle that lny upon his table. He
was eurrounded'by the excited and sensitive men
of the South ; nob men at Henry A. Wise, Rhett,
Holmes, Meriwether, Cooper, and others,
were
around him, eagerly watching his mevementa. As
the old man slowly road the contents of ench
Dam, qulok as thought, a motion was made to lay
it on the table, and carried. At last he took one
from the bundle purporting to come from the 'sili
cone of a town in Illaasachusetts, and asking Con
gress to legislate for a peaceful dissolution of the
Union.
Instantly upon its being read en intense sense+
Gen pervaded the hell. Scores of Southern men
rose nt once and clamored fiercely for the floor, a
clamor which was disregarded by the Speaker,who
nrotected the old man xi his right to the floor.
Hopkins, of Virginia, asked if it would ..be proper
re have the petition burned in presence of the
House. Others made propositions of a similar cha
racter, all of which were treated with disdain by
the Speaker as beneath the dignity of the Reuse.
Mr. Adams asked that the petition be referred to a
twist committee of nine. with instructions to rc.
port adversely to the spirit of the petition. and to
set forth reasons why Congress should not favor ,a
resolution of such a character.
The scene, as the speaker had said, was one be
yond the power of language to describe. A reso
lution was offered, setting forth that, as Mr. Adams
had violated the dignity of the House, ho should
bo expelled from the body. Immediately after the
resolution wag tottered the House adjourned, amid
a moms of intense excitement. The next day Mr.
Adams was arraigned before the House, and such
scene was presented as had rarely been seen in
the Hones. Thegalleries were crammed, the
avenues leading to the House were blockaded by
spectators, and the foreign delegations were present,
interested spectators of the extraordinary spec
tacle.
On the part of the opponents of Mr. Adams,
Hen. Thomas F. Marshall, of Kentucky—a man of
unrivalled genius, splendid powers of oratory, and
almost brilliant imagination—was chosen to lead
the prosecution. This was dean iwo.vent_anY
stisparuna one prosecution beingTh work ot tne
Democratic party, Mr. Marshall being a Whig
as well es .Mr. Adams. Mr. Marshall made
the opening speech, in which he arraigned
Mr. Adams for high treason ill, the strongest
terms. His argument was unrivalled, and was
seemingly very conclusive in all its array of
convincing logic, and brilliant rhetoric. It could
be easily seen that during the delivery of this
speech Mr. dame' soul was distracted by a series
of most oonfheding emotions. His countenaneo—and
It was as honest a countenance as had ever been
Inscribed by the bands of the Creator—showed the
conflicting passions that racked his soul.
Mr. Giddings went on to dettoribe, with a mi
nuteness beyonii the limits.ot a hasty newspaper
sketch, the continuation of that eventful trial,
dwelling particularly on the most exciting inci
dents of the scene, and finally its conclusion by a
triumph on the part of Mr. Adams He spoke
also at some length of a debate that arose between
Mr. Adams and Mr. Wise, where the then young
and impetuous Virginian was worsted. In alluding
to Mr. Wise, Mr. Giddings spoke in very feel
ing terms of . him, and of the friendly relations
that existed between them There were times
when Mr Wise had treated him with severity, and
they had always been the most ultra political oppo
nents'. But, as ColonelForney in his paper of yes
terday hail passed a eulogy on Mr. Wise, he would
merely add a confirmation of those words, and say
that Mr. Wise, with a courage worthy of the man.
had stood by hint in the hour of his need, and had
actually defied the rules of the Home. by refusing
to vote when that Reuse fought to popish Mr. Old
dings by en unconstitutional act. [Applause]
Wo will not attempt to follow Mr. Giddings
through his long ami interesting lecture, or detail,
with any attention to eireumstanee, the many ex
citing scenes brought up before the view of his
hearers. The peculiar opinions of the speaker on
slavery were frequently dwelt on by him, and at
times with great earnestness. An allusion to Ken
neth Rayner, of North Carolina. in which he said
he would reepeot him while memory held its seat
in his brain, was loudly applauded.
In oonoluding hie leetnre, in doing which he was
frequently interrupted by the apdlence with cries
of "Go on," Mr. Giddings said that during 'his
Congressional career he had at times uttered lan
guage which after-reflection made him deeply
regret. Ile had said at one time that, when the
South was ravaged with the horrors of insurrec
tion, he would laugh at their calamity, and mock
when their fear cometh ; but he .felt free to say
that snob words were not the feelings of his heart.
He belied Ms own natpre when ho said anything
that might seem to fayor blood or rebellion on the
part of any class of mon. [Applause.]
After thanking the audience for their kind at
tention, and expressing the enni s iction that the
time wonid oome when this nation would no longer
be a nation of slavery end alaye-holdera, Mr.
Giddings concluded amid great applause.

advances of 3 4 - , each in State Fives, City Loans, and
Pennsylvania Railroad shares, and of 3: in Harrisburg

mortgage bonds were better, Bank stocks command
high prices in view of the near approach of the Novem

The money market is without change from previous
quotation'. Laat week the bulk statement showed art
increase of loans with a decrease of specie and deposits
—a burning of the candle at both ends.
This week the loans are reduced, though the specie
and deposits show a further decline. The reduction of
the loads will be favorably received by the figincial
public.. There is too much suspended and renewed pa
per afloat to warrant any unusually great extension of
bank facilities, at a time when the active business of
the city does not require many beak facilities.
We had the pleasure of a ride in the first passenger
car upon the Chestnut and Walnut-streets _Railroad

in the cars and those in the omnibus—a foolish policy,

FUNNY ton RIVIN.—Here is another good
thing about 'I orwin from the Mac-a-check
Frei.,: "While is eloquent orator of the people
was speaking at Springneld, Ohio, to dense thou
sands, a black, middle-sized pull-terrier, with a
round face, not unlike Corwin s, climbed upon the
stand, and taking his place by the orator, calmly
looked out over , the sea of up-turned faces.' He
did this in snob a knowing manner that the au
dience began to laugh. Corwin noticing it at last,
waved the dog beet: with his hand saying, . Come,
one at a time, old fellow.' Bull stepped book a
few paces and turned his head on ono side with a
gels/Joel expression, Ralf inquiring what ho meant.
Corwin returned the look as near Bull's as his won
derfully expressive countenance could come, and
then said confidentially to the crowd, , I do be
lieve he thinks of leaving the other dogs and
j,rining the Reim:ll)lton party .' This was fol
lowed by a roar, in the millet of which Bull cocked
up hie tail and deliberately trotted nut of the hall
—every part of him saying plainly as a dog could
speak, that he 4 wouldn't.stand any more of such
d—d nonsense.",

A committre . of three was appointed to test the merit.
of each machine, and for this purpose two stumps. equal
in size, were selected for the trial. Mr. W., wishing to
exhibit the full p..wer of his machine, made fast his
ehair a to a green tree about two feet in diameter, which
was standing about three rods from bingo:me. at the
same time connecting his rods with the stumps set apart
for the experiment. Tne word was given. and in less
then seven minutes both tree and stomp were hauled
out of the ground, Jo the entire satisfaction of all pre-
sent. Attention was then directed to the working of the
Knowelton machine. After making several attempts.
with the same team that Willis had used to pull his
stump, the machine failed. and the effort was abandoued.
The same success; attended former male of' the Fame

tried his machine on this stamp, and with his small
power it was readily turned out in a very few minutes'

PHOTOGRAPH FRAVES.—WG were not aware that
Photography had increased to such an extent as,to re—
quire a store devoted exoluscrely to Photograph Frames*
until we noticed recently that such a store had been
opened by Id. Shaw, at No.aa South Eighth streetAsbove
Chestnut. He has a great variety of styles and sues.
from the smallest to the largest, and sells at very low
Prices. The nubile will Sad this establishment a peat
convenience, as they will always find a great aartety to
select from, and he makes no charge for fitting in pic

those intending to have them taken, would do well to

of the largest buildings; that Memento is a little Shine,
