1' The good old rile ruffleeth them—
The simple plan
' That they should keep, who have the power,
And they should get, who ego."
This party is in the field with its candidates. I
have naught to say, of its candidates personally,
booms° the questions involved in this contest rise
higher than more personal considerations. It is of
the principles we will treat, and lay the men aside.
"Nor dor dwell upon the technicalities of regular.
ity of .oouveations, (!) or of delegates to this, that,
or the other." (Of course not, because you had to
tell the people that your Convention was composed
Of not even one•thitd cot the electoral colleges.)
"I start with this bold, broad, and defiant propo•
intion, that the element in the Democratic party
(Douglas men) opposed to us is as sectional to
day nets the Republican, and far more mischiev
ous. !""
Here, Democrats of Pennsylvania, you have the
'modest opinion of one of the chiefs of the Brook-
Iniidge Democracy ! 'Read what these Booed ers
thinker you ; hoW they shamefully insult you ; how
they unblushingly tell you to your face, that in
their opinion you are tenfold more mischievous
than the Republicans, and all that at a time when
they crave upon their knees that you will fuse with
them! , If we are now ten times worse than the
Republicans, when they want our aid, will we not
be a hundred times so, when they have suoceeded,
through us, in electing a Seceders' ticket, and can
do without our assistanee.? Dickinson has spoken
plainly, or, as he calls it, "defiantly," and the
Doraocraoyof the North has understood him. They
will just as defiantly throw the gauntlet book into
the face" of these renegade Democrats, and proud
and with contempt, repel, any intimation of an
alliance with them.
The Breoktnridge papers have been fall of re-
ports that the lion. A. If. Stephens, of Georgia,
would support the Seceders' ticket. I can assure
your readers, however, that there is not the slight
est foundation for that rumor. I know, from the

that Mr. Lincoln ad voted on the 3d of January,
1848, in Congress, for a resolution Introduced by
Mr. Hudson, directing the withdrawal of the
American .armies from Mexico; is incorrect, and
that Mr. Lincoln, instead of voting for that reso
lution, in reality voted against it. On an exami

facture of persuasion caps, for which he was
'awarded, and still rooeives, a Small annual

the arrangement; wouldn't do it at any pride,

freely ventilated in the papers. Be called on the
writer of these presents a day or two since, and,
among other circumstances alluded to in commo

The first gun in a contest that may change the
result of the election in this State, and perhaps
decide the Presidency,' was fired last orenips at
Mozart Hail. At tho regular meeting held there
bast evening, rem - batons offered by Mayor Wood
were unanimously adopted. , These resolutions are
very , decided in tone, and Will, I am satisfied, be
adhered to come what may. They assert, first; that
the popular vote of the Democratic party has deci
ded that Mozart Hall, by its meforlty, is the rightful
representative organization ; second, that they
will claim admission to the Democratic State Con
vention as the only delegation representing the
Democratic masses; third, that they will resist the
claim of Tammany Hall to regnlatitv; MA fourth,
that they are alike opposed to the New York, cus
tom house and the Albanyrsgenoy. Thus Mozart
Hall, ignoring Tammany altogether, Zeta up for
Welt', claims all the regularity," Sad will, as I
think the result will show, refuse to sustain the
action of any State Convention that does not eon
cede each and all of their demands. It is post:
ble that the State Conrehtion may offer, as a com
prorates, to admit half of each delegation.: The
more prudent men will probably favor such an
,adjustment ; but should the ?desert men be rultil

After leaving Denver I passed over the different
ranges of mountains, and after three days' travel
arrived at the so.muoh.talked.of gold region.
had a fine opportunity of visiting the different
localities, and entering into examination of the
gulch digging and quartz leads. The first 1 arrived
at was on Clear creek; then Russet's gulch, Pleasant
Valley, Lake gulch, Gregory, Enrioha, Nevada,
Deadwood, and Lump gulch, Boblder, and many
others; visited also Mountain and Missouri cities.
I should think there were some 25,000 employed in
the different diggings. The manner of operating
is with sluice boxes, a stream of water passing
through to separate the gold from the sand ; others
nee rockers, the final process being panning. I
have yet, from the closest examination, to see any
person who blur made a fortune. Great numbers
of quartz.mille arrive, quartz being found in
abundance. The representation here is that they
are but paying middling well ; of that I have no
positive proof. This is certainly the most rugged,
barren, and destitute part of our country that I
have - ever mien. I say this from the fact there is
nothing produced here, the people depending en
tirely on the States for a supply. You would be
astonished.to see the manner in which they live—
one-third oeoupying mud or log-cabins, one-third
tents, the rest with the broad canopy of heaven for
a covering. No one can ever see or know, espe
cially as the inolement season approaches, the
trials and hardships of a miner. Without friends
or money, God only knows what will become of
them.

Bpending a few days in this county, I thought a
word in reference to the political prospeets would
not be devoid of Interest to you and your readers.
There are three DemOoratio papers in this county.
The Columbia Democrat is for Breckinrldge. Its
editor is a' deputy 'marshal ! The Berwick Ga
zette is alit% Breokinridge, but it is partly owned
by the father of its editor. The Star of the North
don't raise either tioket. 'We suppose it is because
its picklbg has been about as lean as that of sheep,
during drought, in a million pasture. But it is the
beet-conducted paper of the three. But while the
presses and °Moe-seekers are for Breekinridge, a
large body' of the people are for Douglas. You may
rely upon that.
The Republicans here are awake. They have
an ably conducted organ—the Columbia County
Republican. edited by Dr, P. John, a gentleman
of considerable talent. This paper, lam informed,
now enjoys much the largest, oiroulation in the
county and is exerting a decided %donee. • They
have also organised a ‘f Central Republican Club"
at this place, which, Is a spirited affsii. I attended
one of their meetings in the court house last aght
It was 'addressed' by the chairman, Mr. William
Neal, one of the most energetic men of the place
Dr. Jolty , the editor of tho Routiii‘da, and Mr.
George MartD, an iron muster of Light street, a
village hear this place. The addresses were epi.
riled, and that of the editor of the Republican,,
especially, was received with considerable satis
faction and applause. 'With a little practice he
will make a Oapital stump speaker.
A grand mass meeting is advertieed to be held
here on the 9th inst., to be addressed by Col. Cur

There le another reasoneebyuvery e record of the
iemiirrenee Shdeld be, catioolled. .The' good that
web do, it lute been said, lives after them; the
evil diets with them. There is, indeed. in the
very principle of. evil a tendonoy to self-extinc

while the examples of virtue have been direct in
their incitements, besides adding to the constant
secretion of, human knowledge and civilisation.
Henry Broiigbam will not serve posterity as an'
example! ad dentandum. When, in after days,
men review his serriees, the exceptional mis
takes, even the etrongeet prejudice's which
bate been Witted oxen in the heyday of his vivid
eloquence, will be forgotten n and the men will
tetnember only the expiate of that intellectual
giant who, haying acdut red mere than the ordinary
share of knowledge for himself, became the most
mottoes agent in extending the same knowledge to
all and sundry—who, having attained a high and
rising -position et the bar, need the opportunity
thus guided to vindicate jaetloe, freedom, and the
British Constitution, whether it was assailed in the
person of the highest rank or of a private citizen—
who, having been railed, almost againetehe con
eurrenee of his profieseioli, to the lot Liget seat which
it offers, used the influenoe thus obtained to carry
out the same great and bentileial amendments of
the law which, throughout a long and vigorous life,
he bad ceaselessly advocated.
When men speak of Henry Brougham hereafter,
they will talk of him as the champion of British
liberty—as the most eloquent pleader for the great
Reform bill of 1832—as the man who varied the
labors of the Woolseok by recreations in the die
seeting room and library—as the man who in.
dosed leading lawyere of every party to form
a special society, bringing into one life all
the power of conservatism, reform, and legal
authority—at the man who lived to advocate more
reforms than Most men had ever carried, and to
carry more than Most had ever advocated—and
as the; men who preserved a spirit of youthful
seal long after the age when other men lay their
gray hairs in the last rest. If to such a man some
years remain, he must bo considered a chartered
libertine, and ally forgetfulness: of which be may
be golly will, in turn, be so forgotten. The lesson
which Henry Brougham seems still to need would
be furnished by a visit to the 'United States, to
learn he*, under a ropublio, the English love of
law and justice reigns. and how a generons people
would revenge his prejudices by the heartiest of
welcomes.
'A New Use, for the Great Eastern.
The New York Tribune of yesterday says :
*bat shall be done with the great ship, is a
problem, the elucidation of which is the business
of nobody but the owners, but one, nevertheless,
that the,publio mind holds worthy of its ooneldera•
Hon. As a mere show, It is' evident that she can
be making but very little, if anything. for her ex•
ponies gra estimated at not less than $1,500 a day,
and thq Interest on her cost would swell that
amount to $2,000. If she Is earning but little
now, ,she will very coon be earning less, for she is
not au exhibition that many people visit a second
time, arid one which a great many do not visit at
all. Her first excursion on our waters has not
commended her to popular favor, so that much
further emolument from a source which might have
been made profitable is not probable. A fatality
seems to . attend all her movements.
Though by our navigation laws she has no right
to oarry freight or passengers from port to port on
our coast, there has been no disposition to enforce
the regulation. Permitted to be, in this respect,
as she is in every other, en ,exception among all
sea-going craft, she might, with ordinarily good
management, have employed the few remaining
weeks of her stay much to her own prat, hand to
the gratification of the multitude here, who would
have been glad to take a short trip in her, neennul-
Medea In other places, wbo would have welcomed
her in their harbors wherever there 18 water
aneugh to float her.'
There is one good 'purpose, however, to which
she may be put The price of provisions in Eng
land, it is supposed, will range blab for months to
come, while the 'county of beef cettio will probably
be short The attention of drovers and railroad
men is turned to this feet, and the feasibility of
stocking the market from this country is under dis
cussion. The practical difficulty Is the ocean
transport. ' Why may not this be met by the use of
the Great Eastern, while. at the same lime, a way
is thus opened for her to be usefully engaged in the
world's business? Portland is the only Northern
port from which the ship could sail leaded, and an
that is also the seaboard depot of the Grerd Trunk
Railroad, by which cattle may be taken from the
West for shipment, it thee happens that cattle are
the only cargo that the ship could find there.
The dimensions of the vessel seem to make her
peculiarly adapted for ouch a .trade, as she could
hake a large number of animals, and in so com
fortable it way as to permit them to be landed in
good condition. The suggestion seems to en worthy
of the consideration of the dealers in cattle, the
railroad men; and the directory of the Great East
ern. The tatter uacutittedly are punted to know
what to do with her, and if she clan be used to open
a new branch of commerce between this and
Europe, the world will be the gainer ; whether her
owners are losers or not.
IT is related of the eccentric John Randolph
of Roanoke, that one of the subjects which lie ap
peared to take great delight in ridiculing wag the
modern system of female education ; and be often

The Asia brings us intelligence of the death In

a member of the diplomatic corps of Great Britain
lie was born in 1807, and became the thirteenth
Baron of Elphirstone by the death of his father in
1818. He entered the Horse Guards at an early
ens. and in 1832 was gagetted as a captain. From

Madras Presidency. After a short visit home he
returned to India in a private capacity, and travel

girl of the highest rank, who also evinced a wadi
leotton for him. It was for this, and to get him out
of the way, that Lord Blphinstone was honored
with a high official position in India, for it was
thought beet that Victoria, the young Queen of
Rogiand, should have a Prince Consort from Ger

centre, which will be 78 - feet wide, and 100 feet
long. This pier will rest on a foundation of solid
reek, at the bottom of the river, in water which is
thirty feet deep at low-vratc3r mark.
This rocky fotlndetion was 'ascertained by the
engineers beyond dodbt, itt a very satisfactory
manner. In winter, when the river Wee frozen
over, the distance from wharf to wharf Was mea
sured with a pole. and the ewe in thee dente*

roadway of the bridge will be paved with outlast
blanks, the same an those now used on Chatitreat

There will be no covering or roof over it, as in

will enclose the sides to protect passengers. Gas
lamps will be placed at each abutment, and at the
pier to the centre. This pier, ft might be observed
here, will be in a direct line with the weeternmoet
pier of the Market- stfeet bridge, which will afford
little obstruction to the Watefeseey of the rifer.
