German Princes, at Baden-Baden, is the title of a-new Parisian Pamphlet —The Empire of the' Shine and the Kingdom of- Poland. It is apprehended, by European politicians, that this portends danger to Prussia and" to Russia.' The author of the'pampblpllias condensed a great deal into forty pages, and aims at placing the, balance of power in Europe upon an en tirely new basis- . ' - His propositions aroi ,1 The creation of an Empire of/tbe Rhino ,in place oftho petty States; which, by their impotency, endanger th'o independence, of-Germany- 2. The re establishment of the Kingdom ot Poland. 8. Tjio complete emancipation of Ireland, with a Catholic Pfinco., 4. Tho expulsion of the Turks from Constantinople, and the creation of, a. neutral Eastern kingdom; to be placed, like .Greece, Sunder the' guarantee of the Powers." 6. The return of the lonian Islands to Greece, tho restitution of Gibraltar to Spain, and a viceroyalty, in Hungary: - A netv (ionfederation, the’ Rhine, with Na i'Oleos at lta lioad, (sU(;h as Existed under his u'nclatVom 1804 to 1818,) would virtually make Germany vaa-sal to France. Attho same time, if the petty States of Germany wore all dissolved, and their territories given to tho. neareßt kingdoms, it Would bo a great gain to Europe, and would consolidate the great royal, ties oi the German nation. Tho re-establishment of the Kingdom oi Poland, which' the. elder, Napoleon should.have dono, when he ruled as Autocrat of Europe, is scarcely to be cflected in our time, even by the reigning. Napoleon. Russia, Austria, and Prussia, all participated in tho Partition of Poland, and each would op pose anything like restitution. The establishment ,of Ireland into a King* dom under n Catholic Princo would be very, palatable to'the masses .in that country; but how is it to be done ?. Who but Napoleon can effect it ? Tot how little could Napoleon do in Irolandj Opposed, as he would be, by the: Catholic Clergy, who condemn and denounce him- for his supposed enmity to tho personal and political interests oi the Pope 7 That wo may. live,; notwithstanding, to Soo Ireland a sovereign and independent nation, ruled either by King or President, is by no means beyond the bounds of probability. ' It England knew her true;lnterest, she would separate from; Ireland at once, and magnanimously aid her in becoming, once more; a great independent nation; . , The Turks will, probably be expelled from Europe before the ■ present century , closes. “The sick man ” cannot hold out very long, and Russia will moat probably constitute her self residuary legatee, and take possession of all the property, rdaland personal. The policy of Feieh the Great, as delivered in his will; which is now an historical documont, was to extend Russia from the Arctic Ocean to the Black Sea, Archipelago, and Mediterranean, and every 'circumstance shows that this policy, will always be adbareddo, and acted upon by tire Houso of Bomanofl'. Tho return of the lonian Islands to Greece would lead to ah involvement with England, whiah exercises'a protectorate oyer, these 1 islands. The restitution ef .Gibraltar to Spain is also what England would never - submit tp, though the maintenance of a great military force in that fortress is. immensely costly; and the policy of bolding possession or Gibraltar, Is very doubtful. Lastly, the' 1 establishment of any sort .of nattonal. independence in Hun gary would bring down the worst hostility of Austria. / '' 'i’ .- If the pamphlet be put forth as a fetltr—’: like other publications of tho same description —it shadows forth, a series of difficulties be tween France and Prussia, France, and Russia, Prance and Austria, France and Turkey, and Franco and England. This would .cat out a great.dea) of active work for the French army, but would draw against 'Napoleon tho com-' bliied antagonism of, the greater, part Of Eu rope. ■ r , • Wc eaunot jHsmWa/tHe thought that Kapo lkok, in a}lowiog—we might say intanciwning —the issue of pamphlets such as this. Is not displaying his usaml.aatuteneßs. With Europe only .tolerating his assumption, throwing fire brands into the arena is worse than playing with edged tools. How Victoria Hit the Bali’s Eye. -Tho London Timer has very little of the or gan of veneration, and therefore, in its Issue of July 3, describing the shooting of the National Beform Association, on the previous day, thus relates what measures wero taken to in sure the bull’s eye being hit to a dead certainty, by Queen Viorosu. It says: “ The Queen's entrance was near the town, and led by a broad drive to a doable pavilion, one com partment circular; the second'oblong; in front of the last was an open dais or platform, carpeted with crimson cloth: on each side of the dais was a Hob parterre of sowers, combining the most bril liant colors; the effect from the front of thtf pavi lion was-exceedingly good. A narrow platform, abont eighty yards long, also covered with crim son, led nom the dais to a small i ent,circular and ?ult* open at the side*; under this tent fixed to a same, was a Whitwarth rifle, the shot from which, fired by, her Majesty, was to open tho com petition. Bnrihg the greater part of the af ternoon Mr. - Whitworth end his‘assistants wero •jpfiSfltd in Jlzitlg the rijte to hear correctly oh the target, which was the first on the left of the line, the outside target of ! the' first pair of butts. Maay trial shots wero fired, to test the aim ; and the angles required'frequent and very ntee adjustment. The-process kept the specta tors on the alert for moro than ttra honrs. The point at which the weapon was fixed was exactly 400 yards from the'target, 100 yards more than the subsequent firing of- the day. After every test shot, at a very perceptible interval of time, the sound of the ball came baok on the crowd liko an echo; and considerable was the surprise ex pressed that the ball should take so much time In reaoblng its destination/ This simple wonder, so expressed, is an indication that the fairer portion ol the assembly were much more familiar with theolder£nglub«rteUce<of archery,,- than with' the vile guns, that owe, their extstenoe to the discovery of Bartholomew Schwarts. Mach sig naling sritb Sags pasted between tbe tout and tho markers at the target / then more manipulation; then another shot, till e short time only nefore her Msjtoty’s arrival adjustment was’ arrived at, r , 7 ,-' . , , “ After the Queen, and Prince Albert had taken their places on the dan, the president, on behalf, ef the association, presented addresses from that body. The ceremony occupied bat e’short time, and immediately after it terminated, her Majesty, accompanied by Piinoe Albert, advapped along the’ narrow, walk above described tp tho Rifle Tent,. One’light touch on the string attached to the trig-' ger, and the*first shot,’ was.flred that announced, the opening of the competition. The redand white , flag held before .tbe target, . apprised those of tho spectator* jsbo kcew Its meaning, that tbebnllet fired by the royal band.had hit tho. 1 bull’s eye;’ her Afajesty, therefore, scored three points, ac cording to the nues of the. association, . The re porlof too rifle Was .followed by ,a hearty cheor from ell partipf the ground. ” ‘ That a senelblo woman, such ae Queen Vic toria has shown herself, on severaV occasions, should allow herself thusto be fooled and maderidiculous, iu : tho eyes of her own pebplo'and of foreign' very much puzklea-ns...

The awkward air of 1868 has. been replaced by the ease and bla. ganco of,a regular, well-educated, end polished watering-plaoe-,. Atlantlo ~oity being praotloally as much a part of. Pennsylvania as Pittsburg is, and nearly as aeoessiblo to Philadelphians as IVis sahiokon or Germantown, owes mnoh of its amaslng' progress,to this fact; and it Is a duty which lam glad to, see is generally , recognised by the 1 people hi our oity and State, to remember and to not upon It. There is a popular idsa that a spot' like this is only intended for tho opulent and the idle. That was so years ago of American summer, resorts. Bolonco has opened up God’s blessings to all of God’s creatures. Tho pure, dry, exhilarating air in whioh I write, {thakiDg me pity yon now roasting under tho gentle Influences of 98 degrees Fahrenheit)—tho ocean, cool, blue, bright, and breaking into plumes of foam that look like feathers of snow—tho glorious heaoh, nine miles - long, and smooth as yonr smoothest floor,' over which you' walk with a spring, or ride" as upon velvet—the prospect of the wide waste of waters;'dotted with sails—the ahum, dants gifts of the 1 ses, offered to the fisher, and of the land to the huntsman;—these are not for a part, but for all humanity. The two great divisions of aooiety meet;'if they do not min gle here. I have been studying them a little this morning. Each is content and proud in its own sphere. I confess to ah ardent devotion to any thing that adds to the comfort of my fellow-beings. “I am a man,” says Terenos, “and I cannot, 1 therefore, be indifferent to'anything thatconoerns my own gpsoies." This morning an excursion train dashed in from Philadelphia with probably five hundred persons of botb sexes. They are car ried one hundred and twenty miles—that is, from Philadelphia hero and back again— for one dollar.' ’Whole families come—fa thers and mothers, sons and daughters— and it did my heart good to see how they enjoyed this delirious day, the air of whioh would have filled your veins with as much enthnslasm as if you had .been imbibing champagne. The young ipeople, possibly the lovers, of the excursion crowd' ed to the beech, pat on their bathing dresses, (and the sged ones looked on with pleasure) and abeo lately revelled In the pleasures of old ooean. Af- ter this they proceeded to one of the largo saloons here, and delighted In ft series of we!!-exwuted co tillions, including the Lancers, the Schottieobe, Ac. There was no rudeness, very little, drinking,.and, no confusion. They enjoyed themselves, and oared aa little for those who preferred the more stately and exclusive pleasures of the groat hotels, as the latter did for them. There is no conflict between these divisions of society. They pursue their re spective paths, observing each other, and. centont with the lot that God has assigned, or that they have selected. ■ If only in the advantages conferred upon the laboring masses of Philadelphia, Atlantic City, is in some sort a Providenoe. In this respect alone, it is far to be preferred to all tho resorts of the oountry; at' least by statesmen who look to the well-being and prosperity, the health and the hap piness, of those who work : for their living. Who osn over-estimate the advantage of a single ex-sor* alon to those pberTTOmen who “tell' in the faotory, and waetO 'aud wsep their {mure away over thoir neediest They enjoy an .innooept, ohiap, and healthy reoreation, and return invigorated, tho next morning,- te aara an honest living.

New York, 14th July, IBCO Democrats op Kentucky : As loyal to the Con stitution, as faithful to the Onion, as any other Btaio, and .dear to tbo party by tbe long fidelity of her Democracy during a ■ trying minority, our proud old Commonwealth should have beon spared the pain ,of seeing any portion of her delegation secede from a solemn National Convention, which they had entered pledged io abide *by its derision: a Convention,, too, composed offirat-class represen* tatlve men, of equal, if not superior ability to any of their predecessors, and upon the flimsy, and false pretexts .that Southern rights were endangered by the admission, over Yancey Disunlonlsts and Federal submissives, of such men as Governor Wiokliffe and Nicholas Coleman, honored eons of Kentuoky; Pierre South, Dr. Cottman, McCall, abd other faithful sons of Louisiana; Governor Winston, Bolbles, Forsyth, Bradley,'and Parsons, of Alabama—men representing twice tho amount of nogroes, and ootton, and sugar as their contest* aoti. But, whatever the action of non-refiootWe dele* gates, let it uot bo said of our noble State, that In the hour of peril to our institutions, she was won from tier fealty.tb her, ooubtry by the mere nomi nation, divisional and hopeless though It be, of one of her own citisens, and that against the regular nomination of tbe man for whom the wholo of th« : Kentucky delegation,'John C. Breckinridge at its head, voted but four shprt years ago at Cincinnati, these years have witnessed ou rortografle civy iw Mr. Doubles; he has rather moved forward in de fenoe of &e South in his resolutions against the internalinyaslen of the States. Yet so factious and treacherous wa* tho opposition to him.at Charleston and Baltimore, that no platform which hla-friends eould offer would be : acceptable. The Federal, Executive, and Congressional combination Imperl* ously demanded that Douglas, the only man .who could carry » single Northern State, should be set aside. Tbejr cared not for platforms- Accept one of their clique, and then any rlokety constxuotion was sound onoitgh. On occasions Cf great national ooncern like-the present, 1 have an abiding confi. denoe In tbe patriotism, spirit, and sound practical sense Of Kentuckians. Let them now but be awakened from tbelr Idola trous dream over a favorite son, and they Will not be turned from their integrity by deceptive pros* pacts In his elevation to the Presidential chair. At,the August election, Kentucky can give a heavy blew to the Disunion hydra by providing that the Breckinridge candidate for olerk, whoever bounty be, and howevor popular, shall receive only the Disunion vote. For, however subtly disguised by making Brock* faridge and Lane tho nominal head, the irresls* tibia logic of tbe movement is disunion. Profes lions of “fraternal brotherhood,” even When made by Major ftreokinrldge, ought not to eharu honest meninto thC delusion that tbe revolution* Ists of Charleston and'Baltimore were guilty of tbe fratricidal folly of breaking up tbe Demecratio party hpon an impracticable abstraction—defeat •taring them In the faoe—with the intention of ao* quiesel&F In the election of a Republican. The most difficult step, the dismemberment of the Democratic party, has already been taken; and these men. ilko Aaron Burr, when he failed to de* feat the national wIU lu the substitution of him* self for Jetferson, will feel that a step has been taken, baqk of which tho re is no longer standing ground; and will, like him, plot for a Southern confederacy as their only hope in- tho futuro for political power.... Non-intervention is the only platform upon whloh Northern, men oan stand, and the Douglas non* Intervention .party of tho North is tbo only orga nisation sufficiently powerful to resist the Black Republican interventionists.' Kentucky will not knowingly repel these faithful allies. < Your August election may bo the orfsis of the contact,. Unless Kentucky then shows by her vote that the candidate ofthoDlsuolon conspirators la not to be 6ne of the threo highest to go before the House ofjßoTureseotatlves, the North will be en dangered! 'Without the derisive condemnation of Kentucky upon tty Disunion movement,' it is to be fefcred that the Northern non-interven tion vote may be act demoralised as to lead to the eleetion Cf Lincoln by the people. Of tbe North ern vote that can he br&nght against the IVepubli* eons, throe-fourths wooldbe for Douglas against all others—the remainder divided between 801 l and Brektnridge. Most of,tho conservative North is decidedly op posed to Breckinridge, many preferring Northern to Bontbern intervention. A Breokinridge proba bility in the House may involve an overwhelming defeat fn tho North, whilst the opposition to Bell is not of snob a character as to load many Domo orata to vote for Lincoln, to prevent tbe election of the Tennesseean either by tbe people or the House. " Let Kentucky but do horduty bravely, and with prophetic intelligence, as she did In 'OB ; let her vote give the Northern.

The flrst speaker introduced was Governor Rich ardson, of Illinois, fie was reoelved amid deafen ing oheers, and was Interrupted throughout his re marks by the most enthusiastic applaute. . Gov. Biobardson said be was not there for the purpose of .Assailing gentlemen who belonged to different parties than tho one tp which bo belonged. He believed tbht the masses of all the political organizations in this country were in favor of pre serving the Government as our fathers gave it to us. He felt it his duty, however, gb it was the doty of every oUlaen. to speak plainly of the leaders of the different parties. We have pre seated, he ssid, in this contest, some very extraordi nary things. ' We have had four Conventions, who have presented as many candidates, repre senting as many different views, and no one of these Convention! has endorsed the Administra tion now, in power. We have the unusual specta cle of a President of the United States entering the political arena, and making political speeches, for the first time in the history or our Government, in favor of one of the candidate* for the Presidency When the President of the United States conde scended to db this, he (the speaker) was disposed to treat his statements, his opinions, and his views as he would< treat any other opponent. Mr. Bn obanan said In a speech recently delivered, that we have no regnlsr Democratic nominations—that no one had been nominated by the Democratic party in such a manner as to oa!l upon that party to lend.t^elr,support to that nomination. The speaker considered it well enough to inquire whether the President was not,mistaken or had not ' misstated the fact* in referened to the nominations. : He (the speaker) considered that. Douglas and Johnson were nominated by the Baltimore Conven tion In accordance with the usages of the Democra tic party. The two-thirds rule was adopted in 1844. and the same,rute was, adopted at the last Convention. In 1848, when General Cass was no : minated at Baltimore, he received 179 votes, and Mr. Stevev.son, the presiding officer, from the State of Virginia, and afterwards oar minister at the Court of St. James, declared that he was no minated. having received two-thirds of the vote cast, and a resolution was adopted declaring him the unanimous choice of the Convention. At tho Cincinnati Convention, In 1858, Mr. Bu chanan was nominated, although tfaebighest vote be received was 168. Mr Douglas'name was with drawn from that contest by himself, and absolu tion was thereupon adopted, declaring Mr. Buoba nan tho unanimous choice—although a number oi delegates declared that their votes shontd not be counted in bis favor. [Applause 1 in regard to tha nomination of Mr. Douglas: He received 1911 votes at the Baltimore Convention—more than Cass received la 1849, more than Buchanan received in 1856, and' he was, therefore, declared tho 1 unani mous choice of the Convention, and a resolution to that effect was endorsed by-225 votes, [Great anplsnse j How, then, oan Mr. Buchanan de clare that we havo no regular Democratic nomination. Heoould not, certainly, have been well informed on this subject; or if so, he bas mis stated tho facts. He also asserts that tho De mocrats are at liberty to vote for either Douglas or for Dreokinridge If this is his opi nion, why are the office-holders decapi tated who are known to be In favor of Mr. Douglas, while those are retained who are the notorious advocate of the eleotlon of Llnooln ? For the speaker declared there were four officers who nro Republican supporters of Llnooln in Illinois, to one who is favorablo to the election of Dougins Office-holders in favor of Breckinridge .and Bell were also allowed to hold their positions/wbile the guillotine was only used on those who sympathised with the 41 T.lttle Giant of the West.” [Great an., plan's© ] Ho would, therefore, call upon bis hearers to support Douglas because he had been seleoted in aooord&nce with the usages of tho party Another more important reason that be should be elected was that the eternal negro question •might be removed from our. balls qf legislation • The Democratic parly had maintained the same position in rvg»rd to it from 1848 till the present period. In 1848, General Gaia-,*****!- upon -tire - <rmt —me Ja'tiumore o»—- vention, which nominated ■ him, endorsed that doctrine, in that body, Mr Yancey, from Ala bama, proposed to amend the riootrine so as to , perpetuate slavery in the Territories. He was over ruled, however, and tho great doatrine of non-in •fcerventton. leaving the whole rabjeot of slavery to be dlsposod of by the people of the 'Territories,' was adopted. [ Appl*q«e.j Notwithstanding Yancey’s protest, up6a the journal* of .the Convention of 1848, against this doctrine, the Southern StAtes. with the exception of Alabama, and, perhaps, South Carolina and Florida, stand with and by us upon it. In 1850, when this question agitated the country from one eitremo to the other, Clay, Csss. Web ster, and- Douglas were all united, and stood upon the ground .known as the Compromise Measures, adopted that year by the Senate of the United StAtes. Two years afterwards the Democratic party met In Convention at Baltimore, and adopted resolu tions reaffirming thedoctrines of 1848, laying down the Compromise Measures of 1850 aa a finality. The Whig party,' In their Convention of that year, alto adopted the dootTise of non-intervention, giv ing to the people ot the Territories the right to dis pose of the question of slavery for themselves Uence, the very next bill passed by Congress, or- Molting tho Territory of Washington, declared that all acts in regard to this rabjeot passed prior to the first of August, 18-10, should bo Inonerativo and void. - This bill was p*sa*d by the House of Representatives by a tworthlrds vote, and by the Senate unanimously. The speaker then referred to the Cincinnati platform. Mr Buchanan, in his letter of aecep tAoce,’declared that the people of a Territory, like those of a State, should dispose of the question of slavery to suit themselves Mr. Brsokinridgo re affirmed the same doctrlno. No intelligent man in Amerloa could misunderstand the Cincinnati platform. But we are told now that there Is a di vision !n tho Democratio party; that even in New Jersey there aro some men who think that the Cincinnati platform means exactly what Mr. Ba ohaofin and Mr. Breokinrldge said It did not moan when they were nominated. Alt men have a right to obAnge their opinions, especially when they think they are in error, And for doing so they desotve respeot: but for those who avow them selves In favor of a slave code In the Territories, the speaker had no respect. They were entitled to nose. In 1850. Mr. Breckinridge declared in the Ken tucky Legislature that Coegress bad not the rower either tAest&hlish or prohibit slavery iu the Terri tories; in 1854, white tho Kansns-Nebraska bill was under consideration in the Honso, declared that he would voto for no law to establish slavery, aa that would involve the power to prohibit it. In 1850, Judge Douglas and Mr - Breckinridge spoke from the same stand, fttTippeoanoe, Indiana, and they gave the same construction to the Cincin nati platform; and now, those who are advocating Mr. Breckinridge’s election have the effrontery to assort that he maintains the same position! The differenoo between -the Republican party, and tbo party to which Mr. Breckinridge belongs, is that the former Is in favor of intervention to firohibit slavery in the Territories, while the latter s In favor of intervention to proteot slavery therein. The speaker considered that the. question of slavery had been discussed too long already in our National Legislature; them were other great inte rests which required consideration. During the four veers' administration of Mr. Buohanan, this ?uestioa had been discussed, and, although in a ime of profound peace, the Government had con tracted debts at tbo rate of $20,600,000 per annum, purely tho result of this disousslou. Mr. Richardson continued at groat length, re viewing tho important political questions of tbo day; but the late hour at whioh onr report was furnished precludes tho possibility of giving even a further synopsis ef bis eloquent remarks.
