cast the vote of the State, if elected, for
the ono who has the greatest number'of votes.
We bilye ; .. oftrin ant this 7 scheme proposed
nt& byi
benittles oppdVirt3 tie Democracy, in
order - to defeat It, but never 'heard of it being"
adopted even by them: To propose it now to the
Democratic party is humiliating enough; to
.14444 it;wonld cover' that "yarty With,dOfeat
and dfigrace, frgpt =wbtch it would never xe

That such a plan should be asked or ac

eihibited in otir - Minntii-enly equallediby the

, Is it not remarkably strange that they should
Seek alliance with those they so indignantly
repudiated at Charleston and Baltimore ? Is
there noisome poison in the cup—some armed
men in.the'woMlin hoise they'offer l If they .
'sincerely repented of their `secession,
and are willing to unite, with ' the friends of

take the whole of them, and then the party

think they will do it yet---possibly before blo

far es ,w,e, bave , observed, the Democrats in
favor of the platform and nominees of the
party have refused to have any connection with
them. "
• The` worst enemy of the Democratic party
Could 'not devise a - surer scheme to utterly
d"estpay it than the"' proposition to, run an
eleCtoral ticket in any way connected with
Skixearriruiruin'tiidilarry, to bo voted for, on
anyCeonditieri, by the friends of DovoLas and
',lonnamr, It would :make the latter acknow.
ledge their own prostitution and want of prin
ciple, and t.tur,repudiation of their "own creed
and candidates. How can any Democrat who
believes the National Convention made a no.
, mination vote for electors whe, in any con
tingency, will rote'for those who attempted to
break, uP;'that Ceriventien, and break down
thereby the party supremacy I How can • any
Democrat, who -adheres to the Cincinnati

• f:Zlhe, city I 'of, , Philadelphia has seldom
presented:diming the 'summer' months a more
animated' thatt that which may be wit-,
Wised - etett'day.'•''To be sure, thousands of,
!*: 'cltianis 'are away drinking the healing
Waterietthe springs; jobaling the breezes of
the mouutainand the,:itfAny, or bathing in the
l h,ealDd4efresiiing waters of the sea; but yet,
as will be seen -lay the hotel registers, by
the heavy passenger • trains coming over
all' ours railroads,: :and by the busy aspect
of our ettnamercial highways, we are being
inimdated - by Ostlers •from • all sections of
the `nation: No city of this land presents
se many attractions to the traveller as our
own beautifill Metropolis.,„ The surrounding
scenery, whether on the placid Delaware er the
ruggedaud romantic Schuylkill ;• Wiasahick
on, Fairmount, Germantown, Chestnut Hill,
or any of , thntwenttsuburban 'villages with. ,
in five.eent distance by way of a passenger
cart the numerous attractions of the built-up
city aeholar, museums of
history , for, ,the student, academies of
feillie artist; immense private manufacto
ries in different branches of mechanism, mam
moth museums in themselves, for the inspec
tion and study of the curious—all combine to
render a visit to Philadelphia a necessity to,
the'educated observation Of an Anierican gen
tleman. ; ,• •
, And this fact is becoming daily appreciat
ed. Philadelphia ia'noted for her magnificent'
and unostentatious hospitality. The Japanese
princes remained a week as our guests, and, on
departing' to' New York, = left:behlnd every
'possible manifestation,oJ their admiration and
respect. The Ambassadors can feel to-day, in
their distant homes in the ,Orient, that while
their reception ,in Philadelphia was princely,
It was not marred by the infamous combination
of avaricious• and corrupt officials to make
,
Merchandise.of :the most• sacred relation be
tween gentlemen,' that of hospitality, and to
proatitute to purposes of private 'gain the en
tertainments and arrangements consummated
to their honer.
Take. a later case. When Captain ELLS.
mie' and his band Of well-drilled soldiery
from the dicitant'West were bidding the Wash
ington Grape farewell on the eve of their de
parture from Philadelphia, the burden of thbir
sang was the infinitely more creditable manner
in which they bad been treated in this city than
at. any Other, peint visited. And so it is in
many, other cases, which wo might readily

who have been immortaiited by. Anott or
Dickens. the aarltest phases of human
nature, and criminality of`every grade,

a- few are immured within its solid walls
who are more sinned against than sinning, and
who became the victims of oppression becando
they had neither money nor influential iriendi
to enable them to resist the proceedings which
their enemies had instituted against them. It
appears by the last annual report of the in
!specters that, in 1850, 6,404 persons, who had
been tereportirlik confined, were' discharged
without trial, by committing Magistrates, and
the bills of indictment in 887 'Oases Were ig
nored by the Grand .Inry. It is manifest that
many of these. alleged offences wore either
never committed at all, or that they wore of too
unimportant and trifling a character to justify
the punishment which was administered. There
is; - doubtless, much truth in the allegation of
the prison inspectOri, that ourpresent system
of magistracy is a great social evil, demanding
radical reform. While costs and fees are paid
in criminal cases ,to committing magis ,
trates, these offices will bo made engines of
every kind of petty oppression and extortion."
But in - a great city there is necessarily a
large number of criminals,- who have re=
peatedly violated our laws, and whose Con

The
for the' 'proteetion or,
society.' nureber of, commitments during
1869 reached the startling aggregate 019,848,
and 'the , offences were of almost every im
aginable character. The number of persons
accused of being disorderly and committing
'breaches of the,peace Wasti,467 ; of intoxlca
'Lion, 3,686 ; of assault and battery, 2,045 ; of
stealing. 1,275; and - 8,854 were committed as
vagrants.' Tho list is swelled by culprits

Secession! Not Concession!
In' the better and purer days of the Repub
lic, before the executive chair at Washington
bad been converted into a despot's threno and
the balcony of the executive mansion Into an
electioneeror's rostrum, one of the cardinal
'watchwords of tho Democratic party was
concession. This talismanic 'motto" was in
scribed on many' a Democratic banner, and
floated from many a Democratic flag-staff. It
was ono of the inspiriting watchwords contain
ed in the memorable utterance of the illustri-
Ilneroe, which electrified so many hearts
'n ;;by-gone days Union and Harmony,
Concesszon—Every thing for the
Cause, Nothing for Man.' ,
Sadly, however, is the case altered now in
these days of Presidential prescripts and
censcripta. The. great and leading watch
word- 'of the, so-called "only Democratic
States," is no longer concession but se
cession. Dissatisfied minorities now do not
Concede but secede. And this refractori
ness is creeping into other walks and de
partments of human activity. Recusant - wives
no longer abandon their husbands as for
merly. They simply t secede," and the matri
monial alliance is at an end. Partnerships are
no longer dissolved. They cease by virtue of
the "accession" of one or the other of the
parties. Defaulters no longer absquatulate
or abscond. They simply e , secede" to parts
unknown. Lazy apprentices, who have taken
to their heels, are no longer advertised as run
aways—that would be an epithet far too
humiliating—they are simply announced as
boys who have "seceded" from their masters.
The very next thing, most likely we shall
learn, will be that absconding slaves them
selves, having caught the infection from
YANCEY and his followers, will disdain to be
stigmatized as fugitives. They will claim to
be secessionists from servitude. When JANES
BUCHANAN leaves the Presidency, as ho is sure
to do, March 4, 1861, we dare say be will not
be announced as having retired, but as having
seceded" to the abades of private life.

TO Tun EDITOR ON Tag PRESS : I have Suet re
turned from Allentown, whither I went on a poli
tical lattlBloll, to encourage the true mon of Lehigh
in maintaining the noble position they have taken
in favor of the great doctrine of " Popular Sove
reignty," and the regular nominees of the Demo
cretin party, Douglas, Johnson, and Foster. I
had visited Allentown upon the same errand in
1856, and addressed the largest meeting I ever
witnessed, and the largest held in the State during
that memorable and (so far as the existence of tbo
party now is concernedddissatrous campaign. So
largo was that demenstration, there being 700 men
on horsobaok, and thousands on foot, that Governor
Wells, 'of New Hampshire, lately neceased, 'Who
acCompanied me, wrote home to his people that
they might get the powder reedy and load the
cannons, for the old Keystone was right; and en
full was the town, that several very clever men
who wished to come in to hear the speaking, had
to stay outside of the town for want of room inside.
So the redoubtable Major:Pry reported. at any rate,
The county is rich in all the materiels of pros•
perity. The soil is limestone, and yields abun
dant harvests to the honest yeomen . of Lehigh.
Water-power is abundant. Beneath the surface of
almost every farm in the county iron ore of the
best quality is found in abundance. The best
coal to bo found in the State is obtained on
the border of the county, and some of the
most valuable sine mines in the country are
found in Lehigh. Numerous slate quarries are
also worked here, and yield great profits to' their
ateliers. Blast furnaces and rolling mulls are no
'term all over the county, and the beet quality of
iron is manufactured very largely. Thne, it will
be seen that Lehigh county has within itrelt there
resources of fin empire, and its hardy and enterpri
sing population aro becoming the wealthiest in the

The Filibuster Walker on his Travels.
The Now Orleans Delta of the 4th instant says:
The telegraphic announcement that General
Walker bad left the island of Rueter' on the 21st
of June, to entirely correct. ,But the additional
Heti:anent that the ()dad of Central America was
his immediate destination is an error. It is doubt
less true enough that his intention was ultimately
to effoot a landing on that coast; but he did not
immediately proceed thither. It was announced
first in the Data fiat on the ratification of the
'treaty between Honduras and Ragland. by which
the Bay feineds were to be festered to the former
Power, the British and American inhabitants re
solved to resist the transfer; and, ofpossible, to
assume a position of independence. In order to
enable them to carry out the design, they invited
emigrants from the United States, a number of
whom, at various times, left this oily for Ituatan,
and arrived In safety at that island.
But, in the meantime, the Ilondurean Govern.
meat had obtained information of the intended
movement. The design of the Islanders was pro
claimed so openly, and their preparations so pub.
Holy made, that ample time was given to the Go
vernment of Honduras to prepare for the emergency.
Consequently, before the day for the transter ar
rived, a liritish force Was at hand 10 ehforoo the
*vision!' of the HMY. The Inhabitants, per
ceiving that resistance would bo useless, made up
their minds to submit, and the change of flags has
been effected without disturbance.
Almost all the emigrants who bad gone down
to Ruatan, in accordance With the invitation of the
residents, were, it so happened, persons who had
in some way been in communication with General
Walker. Among them wore Ohm's who had
served with him in Nicaragua, and who wore
known to be friendly to his canes. These ciroum
stances induced the supposition that the Ruston
expedition Was eonneeted With ulterior designs
against Nicaragua, and prospective movements on
the mainland,
The supposition resolved itself, in public) estima•
tion, into absolute certainty, when the departure
of General Walker with a number of followers for
Bunten was made known. The statement, there
fore, that the General and his men had left Ruatan
for Nicaragua on the 21st of June, took no one by
surprise. But, as wo have already stated, the
mainland was not his immediate destination. On
arriving at Ruatan and - finding that the British
authorities were actually in possession, and that,
therefore, the ostensible object of his mission could
not be fulfilled, he resolved to proceed to some
other point. Be was impelled to this course by a
very wise disinclination to become involved in any
disturbances or complications with the Govern
ment of Honduras or of England. Consequently,
eellooting snail of his men as were on the spot, he
sot sail for another island in the violnity.
This departure occurred on the Est of Juno, and
Is the event alluded to by the telegraphic despatch.
In the meantime the schooner J. L. Taylor had
left this part for General Walker's new place of
rendezvous, with tho object of taking him and his
fdllowers to their point of ultimate destination.
This has probably before now been effected ; and
whether his destination is Nicaragua or not, we
shall soon learn. Bat, in the meantime, wore we
to hazard a surmise, wo should say that the expe
dition was bound for the San Juan river, and that
it has already landed within the boundaries of
Nicaragua. At all events, the next arrival may
ho expected to bring us decisive information.
The Murder at Long Branch.
GREAT EXCITEMENT IN THE NEIGIIRORROOD-TILE
ALLEGED MURDERER (A NEGRO) ARRESTED-
The horrible end ovidentlypremeditated mur•
der which occurred of Long Branch on Tuosday
morning, has created the greatest excitement in
the neighborhood. Hundreds of porsons visited the
ammo of the murder at an early hour this (Wed.
needay) morning, but up to nine o'clock the body
had not been found.
An effort bad boon mode by several persons
living in the Motility to suppress the partioilars of
the murder, but the people of Long Branch gene
rally are loud in their demand for an investiga
tion. ,
It 10 rumored in the neighborhood that n wealthy
Southern gentleman visited Long Branch, some
weeks since, to recruit his health. He put up at
Peterson's hotel, and during the period of his re
sidence there lived rather recklessly—indulging
freely in the use of liquor. lie wan very commu
nicative, and during his abort stay made several
acquaintances, nono of whom, however, have yet
revealed his name. Throe'er fear days since, his
sash was exhausted, end ho determined to write
home for three thousand dollars. On being made
acquainted with his intention, Mr. Seams, one
of - his now Wends, strongly advised him not to do
so, as he might bo murdered If it was known ha
had such en amount on hand. • Other gentlemen in
the hotel, it is mild, concurred in the propriety of
this advice; but in dedanoo of their counsel, the
Southern gentleman sent home for the money, and
received it throe dnys since. The circumstance
was well nod widely known.
On Tuesday morning a servant in the house of
Mr. Abe Reed, near the beach, hoard the cry of
"murder," which was solOinpaniod by succost•ive
groans, but, being afraid to Interfere in the mat.
ter, he went immediately to bed. The greens
were continued for come minutes, when they
i sud
denly ceased. On examining the beach n the
morning, clotted hair, blood, and brains wore
found, and at a short distance from these, a long,
heavy club was discovere.l, which it, is supposed,
wan the instrument by which the murder was ac
complished.
When the news had spread through the locality,
it was found that the Southern gentlemen was
missing, and that ho had been last seen one hour
before the murder. It was then strongly suspect
ed that the negro servant who attended him, and
who know the amount of money ho had. recently
reoelved, murdered him to obtain it.
The negro was accordingly arrested, and the
coroner has been notified to investigate the matter.

In the afternoon a moos Convention was held in
front of the court house; in which several hundred
persons took part.
Gov. Pennington took the chair at three o'clock,
and introduced Daniel Ullman of New York. Mr.
Ullman made a very deliberate speech, in which
ho endeavored to show the Americans why they
ought to support Lincoln and Hamlin. lie gave a
historical account of legialatton on the silbjeot of
slavery, showing that the Americans occupied the
same ground, from their first organization to the
,present, withihe Chiang° platform. Ile said that
the Convention which nominated Bell and Everett
was not an American Convention: that Mr Bell
'was not,'and dare not avow himself an American;
that Mr. Everett was not, and never had bean an
American. As for himself be had never changed
ono iota in his American sentiments: he had no
thing to gall book, but stood where he had always
stood. Ile concluded by an eloquent allusion to
Henry Clay, and the consonance or hie views with
those entertained by the friends of Lincoln and
Mr. Burlingame was the next Speaker. He in
sisted upon the loyalty to the Union of the Ameri
can party, bat contended firmly for the Northern
views on the slavery question, simply because
they were the views of the fathers of the (lonfede.
reap, He referred to the threats made by South•
em mon that Lincoln would not be permitted to
take his seat. In euoh an event, let these gentle.
men remember that the strength of We American
Government would be tried, and every man who
resisted the Government would ' treated as a
traitor. Mr. Burlingame spokell.l his usual
power and eloquence, and elicitedest attention
and frequent applause
Governor Pennington oonaludoi tio.proceedinga

The Money Market.
PHILADELPHIA, August 8, 1800.
The stook market was depressed to-day, in sym
pathy with the Now York movements, and the al
',lances noted yesterday were in a great measure
lost to-day. The general market was steadier at
the close, at the reduced prices. We notice sales
of Bohemian Mining shares at the Boston Stook
Board, at 5, but we hoar of no movement in either
the Bohemian or Penn in this market. In passen
ger railway shares Green and Coto appears to
be looking up again to the price of a week ago,
and Chestnut and Walnut sold nt 313. Reading

selling at 873, coupons oil' or paid. '
The Newark Illercary says: "The directors of
the City Bank of Newark have resolved to in
crease their capital stook to $050.000, by creating
now stook to the amount of $50,000. the privilege
of subscribing being apportioned among the stock
holders In the ratio of ono share to six of the old
stock. The. stockholders will, of course, avail,
themselves of the privilege, as the steak is already
valued at thirty- five per cant. above par, thus
equalling the valuation of our oldest and best bank
stooks. It is certainly remarkable, as it must he
gratifying to all concerned, that this young insti
tution has so rapidly risen to its present rank
among the most responsible in the country. It
speaks well for the management"
The Chicago Time, says of the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne, and Chicago Railroad ;
" We understand that this road is making ex
tensive preparations for the fall business. The
track is being put in the best possible condition,
the rolling stook overhauled and repaired, and In.
creased by the addition of a large number of new
passenger coaches and freight cars. In fact, every
thing required to render the equipment of the road
complete is being done. Among other improve
ments, we notice that the live-stock yards of the
company in this city have been put in the beet
possible condition; the pons have all been planked
and well provided with water—a thing which is of
the greatest importance to shippers of stock This
department is under the direct control of Joseph
McPherson, General Stook Agent of the Company,
whose long experience in the stock business gives
him a superior knowledge of the wants of shippers
and drovers. Those who entrust their stock to
hint may depend on having their business done in
the most satisfactory manner."

A Man ICAL STUDENT DROWNED ;LT 'A'r-
LANTIC Car —A sad accident happened at Atlan
tic City yesterday minting. The bathers were
assembled en the broad beach to the number of
'thousands. A large excursion train went down in
the morning crowded with passiingers, and lie ho
tels were depopulated of their denizens. The%
bathers dotted the surf in every direction. ..Shei
timid kept near the there, bpt a few more ven-,
turecome waded some distance out. Among the
latter a young medical student was conspicuous_
lie made several attempts to swim beyond his
'depth, and finally, when at coins distance from the
beach, was taken up by a - great ware, and swept
out toward the sea. Two of his companiona went
out upon the skate swell. They found themselves
unable to reach the bottem, and, after much grog- -
gling, succeeded in swimming to a foothold.
Their fear stab not ;rester than their surprise,
after securing theinteffez, to' find their comrade
lie bad, suddenly and unseen, gone down,
without a cry, and apparently* without a struggle.
It was useless Minsk° any effort toWards recovering
the drowned man.' There are nd turf boats on the
beaob, and in mute, but fearful seep ease, the sur
vivors watched the create of the breakers' and scan
ned the surface of the tide, vainly hoping tC Catch
the appearance of the body.
After the /apse of three quarters of an hour, the
dead man was heaved upon the sand by a wave.
Medical aid wee at hand, and efforts wore made to
resuscitate him. But the time of submergement
bad bean too protracted; there were no vestiges or
life. The deceased was about twenty-three years
'
of age Rig name was Midget. Be was a citizen of
North Carolina, bat has been a resident of thiscity
since his connection with the Medical College com
menced. Ile has here a wide circle of friends, to
whom the tidings of his sadden and sad demise
will go like a tearful summetta. Be bad been
boarding at the Light Boum Cottage. in Atlantis
City. Bin body was washed up opposite the United
States hotel.
The deoeased was, probably, borne out by the'
pewerful. undertow,. and, it may be, was seised
witiroramp. The bathers received the news of hie
death with a mute fear. and tho heath was de
serted by thorn during the remainder of the day.
The remains will be brought up to the city to day,
and at once forwarded to North Carolina.
This is the first accident of the season at this po
pular bathing-place. A surf-boat,promptly sent to
the assistance of Mr. Budget, would probably have
saved his life. We trust that measures wilt be im
mediately taken to prevent a recurrence of a simi
lar tragedy.

THE WAlicf - AND DRY W 111171TER. —The
long conilnuril dry and warm Weather hoe proved
very injurious to the crops, not only in the neigh
borhood of this city, but over a large extent of the
adjacent country, In New Jersey, Dela-ears, and
Maryland. During the latter part of July WA
the beginning of August, in former years, rain
storms were very frequent,' perrieulerly MAO
which come up euddenly, with rain-drops as large
'as bulleta, occasionally intersprrsed with hail, by ,
way of variety. But the weather this yammer
has completely put to their trum VS the old weather
prognosticators, who always predict rain or a storm
at every change of the moon. The moon changes.
but the' weather does not, the same burning sun
pouring down its rays for week after week, scorch
trig up the grass in the equines and gardens, and
withering almost all kinds of shrubbery, while the
trees in every direction are drooping for the want
of moisture. •
The record of the weather, kept at the Pennisyl
'yenta Hospital, shows that during the month of
July, 1860, the moan temperature was 761 degrees.
The obsenratines are taken at 9 o'clock in the
morning and 3 in the afternoon. The average
temperature of the month of July. at 9 A. M., was
77 8.10 degrees; and at 3 P. 141., it was 83 8 10 de
grees. The highest point reached by the ther
mometer duricg the month was on the 20th, when
it indicated 91 degrees. The- lowest was on the
13th, when the temperature was down to 59 de
grees, a range of 35.
In July, 1859, the mean temperature of the
month was 75, or 11 degrees less than July of the
present yer. The was-meet day of the month in
that year , was the 13th,' when the thermometer
reached 91 degrees; the lowest temperature was 55
degrees on the sth.
During the month of July. 1860, the quantity of
rain which fell was nine-tenths of an inch. On
July, 1851, the gauge showed 4 7 100 inches. In
1858, rain 1 34-100 inches. In Jnly, 1857, rain
39 10 inches. This comparison shows that mach
less rain fell in July of the present year than in
the cams month for tho past three years.
• For the month of August up to yesterday, the
gauge elbowed that only one-tenth of an inch of
rain had fallen, while up to the same time last
year there had been seven-tenths of an inch.
Rain is greatly needed at present.
A SINGULAR ACCIDENT happened yester
