WOBKB’ OF FICTION.
Messrs. Harper have published two novels by
. Anthony Trollope, author of “ DootorThorna” and
“ The Bortrama ’’ One of theae, called “The Three
Clerke,"{a‘eaeeaf{ally a atory.noi, only of Xondoh

his aihillon, temptations,- and fall. Bln trial,
with the eaamlhatlen of-Mr. Pndy iSoott, M. P,,
is well told.. There Is a capital full-length of Mr.
Gregory “ a gray-halrod old pnbllo
functionary,” witpae soul is wrapt np in bis efSoial
life. The Female eharaoters in this novel are gene
rally true-hearted and sensible gentlewomen.'
’* Castle Riohmond,” also by Mr. Trollope, wht)

Manners in Amerlos,” and a. whole brigade of
other hooka, la a tale of a Very , different descrip

people, rloh and, poor, and .'shows a thorough

Is probably only oerelessness in the printing office
which puts Maodom for Mac room, and mentions
the leading thoroughfare in Cork as Pati-Ut
instead of Patriok -afreet, the eoettb, In Ireland,
In Duhallow, between Malic# and Kantnrk. Th'a
Fitageralda, of Oaatlo Riohmond, are the leading

a certain cousin of Fitsgereld, of Hap

heart and potion, we have .met with for nlong
time, in nr .out of fiotion. A prondend poor Count
ess of Desmond, with her yonng son and handsome
daughter, also boars upon the action nnd passloh of

Thackeray’s last Kovel, “Level the Widower,”
whioh has exalted no small attention in the first
volqme of the, Curnhill -jfrlagaziii'e t and simulta
neously in Harper’ll Magazine, has been pub
lished, by the Harpers, in ootavo, with the original
illustrations. It will be read with Aviditj* because
every,one.is curious about Thackeray ’s Writings.
Speaking critically of it, #a must say. that the
etory la-very-mnoti and has a mimihum
nf incident, There are numerous oharacterh—-hot
sue of whom we should care to taeot in aotunl life

hint is given, at the close, Diet ” t'oVel Married, ’■

lfshed by Wr A. Townrond A pi., Now York, con
tains a graphic aoooint of travel oh the lakes and
their vicinity, ,in oqmpaby with Ohingacbgook,
father of. Unoas.- The time Isa. little oyer a cen
tury ago, ind Mr. Cooper has made adventure bh
fresh, wafer as MU of Interest, if not Bf ihbident,
asnpontheeoean. The wholotjohrseof the Pathfind
er’* passion for Mabel tlunhsm shows a ohlvalrous
end delicate sentiment, fully in keeping with all that'
is told, in other Tolnmes, of hfs manly, end loyal
heart. Thc illustrations by Barley, upon sleei and
wood, are exeouted by the best artists, In a man
ner, suitable to the beauty and merit of the-de
eigna. This Is the eighteenth' volume of the new
edition, whloh, taken'as a whole. Will constitute as
complete and beautiful u eeries of books, by a einglb
author, as hss yet been published !n this country.

attention to •* barley’e Cooper Vignettes," In folio
siso, the vignette lllhstratlont, (pthot

the same publisher* are also bringing out. Four
numbers have appeared -each containing eight,
vignettes on steel and es many more on wood, with
descriptive letter-press from Cooper. Os the ftaw

are alike certain to win admiration, for Barley has

The seventh monthly part of “ Tom Brown at
Oxford,” a sequel to Mr. Hughes's excellent
M School J)ays at Rugby,” has been sent ns by
Tioknord; Fields. It brings the hero back to Ox
ford, makes Mm a pro tempore teacher In a
Ragged School, reconciles him with his friend
Hardy, and introduces a new chsraoter, Captain
Hardy, a weather-beaten sailor, who taught him
self Greek at an advanced period of life, in order
that be might assist in teaching it to his only son.
Simplicity and shrewdness an ouriously blended
In this well-draws character, which is sketched
with as mneh force, and far more delloaoy, than
any of the sea-heroes of Smollett or Marryatt.
Since the publication of Gerald Griffin’s fine
story of “ The Invasion,” (now inoluded in the col*
leotive edition of his Life and Writings, lately pub
lished by Messrs. Sadlior, of New lork,) there
has not appeared any Irish historical romance of
so much in its narrative, patriotic in
its tone, and graphic In its delineations—half so
good a 3 « The Confederate Ohleflatos,” by Mis. J.
Sadller, of Montroal, and Just issued by D. <t J.
Sadlior & Company, New York. It originally ap
peared, wo believe, in The a very able
Catholic paper .of New York, and is now before as
In a seat volume, with appropriate illustrations-
Irish history hsi* never yet been told in an attract
ive manner) but 'Mrs. Badller rightly thinks that'
its incidents and personages are, full of deep in
terest, not only to Irish people, but to the world at
large; In her “ Confederate Chieftains” she gives,
in a weft of fact and a woof of romance, a spirited
relation ,of The Great Rebellion, as it is called,
whioh ruled in Ireland from 1641 until after the
execution of Charles the First- She has produced
a work which is not, pnd'w&s not loiesded to be, a,
mere novel. She has brought before us the peo
ple, manners, oostoms, and llfo of the Irish over
two Centuries ago, and, while relating the events
of the time, gives spirited portraits of the principal
personages wno took the' lead, on both sides of the
contest. The characters of'Owen Roe, Phelim
O’Neill, and RoryO’More are drawn and developed
in a very skilful manner.. Mrs. Sadller ought to
write a historical novel of the Irish straggle for tho
Stuarts in 1669, and follow it np by another relative
to the Rebellion of 1798, She can do it, if she
will.
A new volume of stories by Hans Christian Ander
sen must ever be acceptable. Ticknor & Fields havo
published “The Sand-Hills of Jutland,” by this
anther, whioh, though scarcely equal to his former
productions, still is a readable book. There is no
single story in it as good as “The Ugly Duck,”
but young people (aye, and old ones, too) will be
pleased with the story whioh gives its name to the
volume, with “The Neck of a Bottle,” with
“Something,” and With “The Child in the
Grave this last, by the way, being an adapta
tion of an old and well-known Irish legend, whioh
Crofton Oroker versified.
Mrs, Gaskell, who wrote the touching story of
“ Mary Barton,” has collected into a Small 12mo.
volume, republished by the Harpers, four stories,
which she had contributed to Household Words
and All tho Year Round. Of these, the best, in Its
simple'reality, is “The Manchester Marriage.”
There is a deep tragic feeling in “ The Crooked
Branch.” Commonplace enough Is “Right at
Bast,” and “Lois the Witch,” a New England
story, which occupies half the book, is sadly spun
out, and rather prosy. -Mrs. Gaskell should keep
her foot up6n her native heather, and leave stories
of Salem witohofaft to American writers who are
able to do full justice to the subject, from more in.
tlmate knowledge of thesobjeot thanmefe reading'
tip to if can give. ’

took place in the morning. The parade was to
have started at 8 o’clock, but an 1 accident
b&ppenad, which delayed tho parade until
'after 9 o’clock.. The horses attached to the

SIJUABEi
in accordance with a time-konored custom, tho
membors of the gloriouß old Domooratio party mot
in Independonoo Square ' at sine o’clock in tho
morning. At an early hour crowds wended tbelr
way thithor, and at the abovo hour an immense
number were assembled.
Mr. Jobs McCarthy called the meeting to order,
and on his motion Fro loriok Stoever, E«q., the pa*
triotio gentloman who presided with so much dig
nity at the late Douglas ratification meeting, held
at the samo place, Was called to the ohatr. In ac
cepting the honor conferred upon him, Mr. Stoever
mndeabriof and appropriate speech, after which
onr esteemed follow-citizen, J. B. Nicholson, E?q.,
read the Declaration of Independence in a monucr
wbioh elicited the warmest applause.
Richard J. Haldoman, E?q , of Harrisburg, a
member of tho State Control committee, was in
troduced, and in a most convincing manner re
viewed the proceedings of the Sooeders’ Conven
tion at Baltimore. Ho said that the friends of
Breckinridge claimed thattbore were one hundred
and fifteen legal votos in that Convention ; but n
carcfti* analysis will show that there wore not
eighty legally in it. In one ease there was a sub
stitute for a substitute admitted, and In other
oases both the substitute and tho regular dulogato
voted, counting two, when they wore onlv entitled
to count one. He watt opposed to making any
terms with the traitors and seoedors, by uniting
upon a coalition electoral ticket.
The following resolutions were then read by Mr.
E. 0. Webb:
ABSOLUTIONS.
Whereo*, Tho eighty-fourth anniversary of
Amerio&n independence has dawned upon a united
Republic, with all its blessings, wo should not be
forgetful of the means by wbioh oar Union was
achieved, nor of the neeortity to oberish and main
tain it Inviolate. Our fathers formed tho uompaot
upon terms <>i equality, and made each State so
vereign in itsolf, ylolding to tho Federal Govern
ment such powers only ss would enable it to per
form its functions with vigor and efiioiouoy, as a
singlo nation. This was nn amicable arrangement,
to be continued through all time, without tho right
to dissolve or wooken its obligations. Every new
State has been admitted into the Union upon the •
original grounds of compromise, and Is alike bound
by its requirements. Inferiority of position or
privileges m any one State or geographical seotiou
can never be tolerated without degradation to sueh
State or section. The Constitution, sod the laws
passed in accordance with its provisions, are the
legitimate nrbitors of ell disputes arising between
members of -the Confederacy- There is no higher
law than tho Constitution itsplf. Theso aro funda
mental truths, end upon them the Democratic
party is based Bo it, therefore,
Resolved, That to the constitutional safeguards
provided by onr fathers, we must look, for protec
tion and encouragement, denouncing every at
tempt either to rectionaliao or consolidate tho
powers of tho Government, to the destruction of
Slat© rights, whether such efforts spring from the
heresies of Blaok Republicanism, or tbe equally
dangerous doctrine of secession from the Union.
The internal nolioy of tho individual States ranst
net be regulated according to the prejudice or oa
prico of a baffimojorUy in Congress.
Resolved, That-tho right ofefich State to rege
late its own domeatlo polfoy is guarantied by tbe
Constitution, and was never called in question until
personal ambition or blind fanaticism discovered
a method by which.tho Union could be placed in
Kesofvedi That tho right is natural for commu
nities, when doßtrons of forming either States or
Territories, to determine whether voluntary or in
voluntary servitude shall exist.within their limits ;
and every attempt by the General Government to
forco such States or Territories into tho adoption of
either system, is a-violation of the Constitution, I
and destructive of personal liborty. i
Resolved, That tbo enemies of Democracy, j
whether they bo called Black Republicans or '
Southern Ditmnloulsts, have a common and-!
mutually understood -object—tbe destruction of ;
the equality of the States and a dissolution of the j
Union ; and as thopurposes'of suoh organizations j
are alike treasonable in thoir character, tho j
National Democracy will opposo both as dangerous 1
foes to the Institutions of tho country.
Resolved , That, as a Domooratio Convention,
composed of representatives from evory State in
the Union, is the highest authority known to the
party, tbe Democracy of Philadelphia do not ro
cognize the right of any city, State, or county com
mfttoo la the attempt to repudiate or compromise
either its platform of principles or its nominees.
Resolved , That as the Domooratio Convention
which met at Charleston adopted, aooordiDg to
ancient usago, in full Convention, a scries of reso
lutions as a platform pf principles for- the govern
ment of our party, by.p majority of twenty-seven

In answer to iorfl and repeated-calls, *lir; Dou

platform, and epolce as follows:
Whilst I am profoundly thankful to you, my
foliow'oßfzens. for this unmerited end unlooked-for
call, my inability to speak with case in the open
air will prevent me from making more than a
yery few remarks. i In -accordance, with the time

new tho expression of their gratitude to God, and
the great spirits of l tho Revolution, [applause,]
and to reassert their devotion to thoso principles
that made, and will preserve us a nation. [Cheers. [
It is well, here, and now, to indulge in tho recol

exorcised the tyrannic power of declaring its do

compliance with the samo, by “standing armies,”
“quartered” upon the people.
Our tethers, who were a race that brooked not
tyranny,.no matter whouce It came, rebelled.
[Great dpplsttse. j They, at first, thought cot of a

The King and Parliament would not yield The
poople, fired with a just fury, flew to arms. Though
but threo millions and scattered far and
wide apart along Ibe eastern slopes of the Alle
ghenies, they dorod to contend with tho mightiest
power that eter faced « foe, with a nation whose
very tread made the earth tremble. TTorc, on tbit
spot, the delegate* from the thirteen Colonics met!
Here they declared that
“ Ho has refused to pa°s other laws for the ac
commodation of lafga^districts of people, unless
those people would relinquish the rtjfht of repre
sentation ; a right inestimable to them, ondjfor*
//livable to tyrant* only."
Here the delegates, appealing to God for the
rectitude of their intentions, declared these then

arrayed against them. Two great organizations—,
both sectional; one in the North, the other Id the
South —deny the right of American citizens to le
gislate for themselves, if living in our Territories
Against both of these parties we are equally and
irrevocably pledged. • The National Demooratio
Convention which recontly convened in conformity
with the faith of Seventy six—-with the measures
that gave peace to our distracted Country In 1850—
that ted us to triutnph in 9 52 and ’s6—adopted the
Cincinnati Platform and nominated for the Presi
dency its intrepid defender on the floor of tha Se
nate and betore the people of America. [Threo
cheers for Douglas ]
Certain delegates, the pliant tools of conspira
tors in the National Senate, left tho Convention
because a vast majority would not yield to tbeir
demands, And calling together tho mob they mar
shalled, styled it—a Convention! delegate
from Pennsylvania formally withdrew from the
regular Convention, and but throe or four Insignifi

entered where the Soceders wero gathered.
[“That's so,” and applause f I, for one, rejoioe
that we are rid of ronrgadoa from other parties,

[Cheers] And vet we are asked to compromise
with tbeso men!—to Arrange the machinery atid '
veto for thesamo electoral ticket! [Cries of.“no, I
never.”] No!, They have deceived us already in
their troaohory to tbo National nominees and
never oau be trusted more [“Hear! heat!”]
What! compromise with a faction, whose head j
and hoart is the man who. In tb* very Convention
which nominated Breckinridge declared that, ten j
years nzo. lie was a Disnnionist. and who uttered
there, amid Approving aboufs, tbo atrocious sonti

his country ? Compromise with thauo men! -You

In the campaign of 1850 I left my business and
home, and for three months traveiscd the hills and
valleys of this my native State in advocaoy of the
very principles’we are now battling for. I pro
mised the peoplo that our thou national nominees
would be true to the platform. When the Admi

.pledges made to tbo people, I openly denounced
the treachery- For this, 1 and othor3 I soe about
wo wore celled diforgantzers • We were traduced
and villififd, though we stood by the organizatttm,
and voted for the regular nominees; and now,
after having for nearly three years borne the
taunts of the parasites ef power, the National Con

were faithful, wo are asked to compromise with the
very men who were treacherous to prlnoipJe then.
Aud now are in open war against the National
Convocation. [Great applause J
Biloh a compromise may suit whowe

it is in keopiog with office seekers, end office-hold

scorn, with loathing, and contempt. a»l terms of

the principles of the Charleston Convention, and
unhesitating and unqualified support of the only
national nominees, Douglas and Johnson. [Wild
enthusiasm.]
A majority of tho State Central Committee, com
posed men who woro never narnnd, and aro
unfit for such » orisia; and tbo hirelings of an in
famous and corrupt Administration on the Execu

hut every true Domoorat will treat their insidious
offer with unutterable disdain. [Applause.]' lu*

whother ho will vote unconditionally for Douglas

apd covers all tne deficiencies found to exist in the
former constitution.' The'report was adopted.'
Alderman Hay . from the Committee on Resolu
tions, reported.the following.: . . , ~t
[Resolved, That we, one and all, take great plea*
gpre in thanking' President Buchanan for his able
veto against the passage of the homestead bill,
which is virtually a repeal of the bounty-land aots
of Congress,'in all eases where the warrants hate
nU-been located, and 'especially where land War*
riots h»ve not boon issued to applicants, asking
for lands under the bountydntid acts of Congress.
| Resolved, That'if Congress shall passthd home
stead hilt. It will be no more than justice for the
pirtiea who hold land warrants requiring, as they
now do, upwards of seven million five hundred
thousand sores to 1 satisfy them, to demand from
tho .Government money equivalent to the value of
g*id landi, bfiot to the passage of said homestead
bill.
Resolved, further. That as there afe nrfw two hun
dred thousand suspended' claims in the Pension
Office, a large amount of whioh will yet be allowed,
arid there are daily on an average twenty claims
jijrsented, and about twenty-five warrants are dally
i ssued, as appears from the .reports of the,proper
office, it serins not only unjust,,, but flagrantly
wrong, for the two Houses of Congress to In
Add pftsi a law repealing bounty-laud acts, by
giving tho publlo lands away *t a nomioat prloo,
when only a portion of the soldiers and sailors of
the-war of 1812, and their widows, have received
their land Warrants towbich they are entitled us*
dev the present IwuntVflcf* of the nation..
Resolved, further. That, in'the opinion of ibis
ropehog, those who hiv4 gtme bat to the West, , and
largely cultivated that vast region, who have paid
SI-25 per asre, wiU havo.u just right to demand
from theGovertfnOiit the return of the money paid
bit them; (many millions,) -with interest, if Con*
;rpsa should pass the homestead bill, which has
been postponed till the meeting of Congress at the
nejxt s&lfffftn. '• •'
Resolved, That, instead of giving away the pub*
lie domain.under a homestead bill, snob lands
ib'pulu be Sold, and tbe proceeds thereof be appro-,
Dilate l to pay pensions to the poor old men of the'
Second War of Independence and their widows,
t rimy of whom, to tbe disgrace of the nation, are
ip tho almshonscffof thebountrv.'
Resolved, That it is a mistake to imagine that
the homestead bilL would be a popular measure, if
pajssed into a late, as it is'wcll known that alt the
old soldiers end saflars.of.the country arVopposed
tolthatbill; And- when it is recollected that;war*
rapts covering sixty-four mlHiens pfjaqfpf
been issued, which. At the rate of cne hundredarid
sixty acres for each applicant, dearly proves ttfct
400.000 persons have received, land .warrants, and
that If any of their friends shoald-.deeira to run as
candidates forairv public post, the eojdier vote ot
the country would carry them' Without scarcely an
effort at the public polls. • •
Resolved , That as some of the States havo re*
cofnmended to Congress ah increase of the bounty
land to . every Soldler/or his widow, we are as
to sso ’Hen&tors and Representatives
coining from so oh States using all tbeir.exertiops
away the public doinain to those who never
served the country in her wars; and if tbe home*
stead bill should pass by tbelr exertions, it will
only result in inducing come of them to quit their
location in the' old States, and go into tbe-new
States, thus lowering tke jpnee of the lands in the
Slsites they leave
Resolved, That“the men of the Second War of
Independence,' at' their meetings everywhere
throughout the Union, be requested to send their
veto to Congress against the homestead bill, now
pending in the United States Senate, and at the
1 sMoa time send memorials to the two honses of*onr
National Legislature, urging upon them the neces
sity of passing a pension act for the aged and infirm
old mas, and the poor old wldowtof the war oflBl2,
many of whom are, at this time, sustained by pub
lid charity.
Resolved, That as the representatives of %i the
men of the Second War of Independence,’* wo sol
emnly protest against the building of a court
house upon “Independence a square in
whioh tho whole Union may be said to bo Inter
esied, and especially the thirteen old States, whose
delegates have recently met and selected a spot
within its bounds upon which to rear a monument
in,honor of tho immortal signers of our Deolara-
tiun of Independence.
{The resolution in relation to the erection of a
ooCrt-house in Independence Square was warmly
endorsed. and tbe meeting was unanimous in feel*
log against tbe desecration of tbis sacred ground
such a purpose. It should, said one of the
members, be kept for the erection of a monument
to, the Old Thirteen States, at tbe base of whioh
fathers may hring their sons, and swear them to
the support of the Oonstitution and the Union.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted.
After tbe reading of tbe Declaration of Inde
pendence, by Alderman Hay, tbe meeting ad
jojirned.
