It is • singular fact, that while the Demo truly of Pennsylvania are 'Wry day bealfhluS more and more unanimous - In their suPperref, Judge Donemss, many of the qiolidaians endorsed the shameild fusion scheme - which, has been concocted by Chairman' 'Owes committee. In no outer State .has such a combination been tolerated for an instant by any friend of DOUGLAS. In nearly all the ; #krthern States in which the whole of the l'?achluerf of the-local- Democratic organiza tion was,-in-Abe- hands of , the friends of Dukrat.iithe riditerebts of Baicarsarnon have, to ',defiance of all `Party usages, and for the express Turpese etiolating lA:emir, placed Secession electoral tickets in the field., Their action._ in, New, York, in Ohio, in Indiand; Micbigan,„lewa, and even, n Illinois, has been of this character. In the South an equally _decided line of demarcation between the friends of Donor...as and the adherents of Bruccarmarnas has been established. No where in that section of the Union have the National Democrats and the Secessionists insed," -but everywhere they are earnestly and bitterly antagonizing each other. ' The sentiments of Judge DOUGLAS on the sithinct of fneidn' with the supporters of Batoginanionhalre been.publicly announced, not,only at Rocky Point, Rhode Island, where be said "1 arii asked why Idol not advise my friends to make a union ticket with the tecessionists. WHY torner YOU MAXR OIL AND WATIR MIX? I am win ling to aot with all men who agree with me on prinelple, and I am determined to act against all sou who. ors in favor, of disturbing the' pease and harmony of the country by thrusting the ne gro question on the Congress of the United Saw," _ also in 'iv more recent speech 'at New ark, N. 4., where he. declared in atill more emphatic terms his * hostility to any Combina tion with the Secessionists. - • WS see announced in our country exchanges that at several points in the interior of our ..State, two Orators are to speak in favor of the so-called fusion ticket from a common stand, One of them being an advocate of DOUGLAS, and the other a supporter of Brixotrinamos. ft is difficult to conceive of a more humiliating ,political spectacle., There can be no argu nient made for BREOHINRIDGE which is not a direct insult to Dovetail and his friends, be cause the theory upon which the whole Breckinridge movement is based is the false allegation that DOUGLAS was not regularly nominated, and that his avowed opinions are so heretical that ed he is no better than a Re • .publican." , the,' other bond, an effective advocacy of Doormats before a Democratic audience must be based upon the idea that he is the regular nominee of the Democratic Na tional Convention, (and if he is, DIIEOKINILIDGE has no possible claim upon the suffrages of any Pennsylvanien)—that the principle of Popular Sovereignty is just, (and it it is, the Breckinridge platform should be as earnestly opPosed as the Republican creed)—and that the tendency of the Breckinridge movement is to bring about' a dissolution of the Union. There is an a irrepressible conflict" between the friends of ,DonoLas and Basounitutox, or rather,between those who adhere to the doe trifle of non-intervention and to the regular National organization of the Democratic party, and those who have seceded from it under the black banner of a slave code ; and it is idle for irading politicians to seek to patch up a hollow truce between parties thus bitterly hostile to each - other. Those who defend this scheme on the ground of expediency, must remember that tens of thousands of honest voters will turn away in disgust from such an unprincipled and despicable combination. It will, therefore, be badly beaten before the people ; and if the friends of Donorsis should, by any possibility, he lured into its support, they would not only throw away all hope' of- carrying the State— because they would drive away all of that large class of voters who are determined that in no contingency will they cast their votes in away which, by any possibility, could assist in per petuating under the yule of Balosstairtos or LANE, for -a second term, the Buchanan dy nasty—but they would also sacrifice their con sistency, self-respect, and honor by such all affiliation with the relerdiestifoes of Devotes, et Popular Sovereignty, and of the Union. • In- the meantime; we hope the DOUGLAS Executive Committee of this State will soon pAsce their 'straight-out ticket in the field. Too much time has already been lost. Trade , witi, the West. ' 'There is a constant complaint, here and in the West, that a great deal of the trade which 'should come to Philadelphia is diverted to New York. This is' fact which ought not to be. From the valley of the Mississippi to Philadelphia, there is a railway communication shorter and better than that to New York—but the comtnercial intercourse with Philadelphia is less' than with New York. Why is this ? deeti:lot the balance , of trade with the Southwest and West greatly turn in favor of Philadelphia? Perhaps the best reply is another cinestion —Why is the coat of freight, on many articles, leis from New York than from Philadelphia? For example, a' dealer in St. Louis has to give au order, for gatklittings or other manufactured metal. Front. Philadelphia, the charge may be from $1.25 to $1;55 per hundred pounds, which is not dear, from the Delaware in Penn. sylvanla to the Mississippi in Missouri. But 'the charge from New York Will be only $1 for freightage. In New York, manufactured metal of this class goes as Hardware, and hence the lower, charge. The manufacturer in Philadelphia has to allow the purchaser in Missouri the difference In the freightage, and this is an item. It Is to be considered whelber the Railway authorities here, who, we believe, have made an arrangement with those of New York as to price of freightage, may not carefully con sider the point which is here presented. With our unsurpassed system of railway, we can carry goods to the West at as low latea as any other companiei, and it ought to be done. New York must not grasp advantages which Philadelphia is better entitled to—for New York-does not manufacture much nor, well, and Philadelphia does. The Dieltdonisto Doomed. Hon. TORN lrronca4 of Virginia, has re cently declared in a letter, which we publish elsewhere, that he will support Donnas and Jounsox in the.present campaign. It is evi dent, from the present aspect of politics in the "Old Dominion, that. BeretuXittnOxibatt not the ghost of a .chitico: of carrying that • State. Indeed, it is now considered settled that he has an wren chance for but one State in the Unto n —South Oarolina—and there the Legislature, and not-the people, choose the electors. The Douglas- Convention. in North Carolina, by placing e straight-out Douglas ticket in the field, breaks up completely the Drockinridge programme in that quarter. If people will insist upon eating fire, there is nothing like giving them a• bountiful 'supply of such caloric food; and surely the fire.esters are now being most bountifully supplied. When next the Senatorial cabal convenes in a proscriptive caucus, it is to be hoped they will appoint a Ciafindttea to inquire Into-their political pros pects in the o certain " Democratic States of which they have so loudly boasted; and it will be strange Indeed if its report does not im press even their stubborn natures with a deep conviction of the neceuity of showing more wisdom, and leis; arrogance in their future actidb.

Tbia him been a great day In Montreal The Prince of Wales has entered the pity and been re ceived with royal honors. Loyal subjeota of her Ma jesty the Queen from all parts of Canada, and thou. Sande from the " States," lire here to view the many points of interest and' to join in or look on at the festivities of the occasion. The streets are crowded with all *lessee and all kinds of people. Whites, Indians, and blacks, soldiers and. sailors, priests and laymen, jostle each other on the sidewalks. Thd women of Montreal are handsome, but how the eye longs to see the beauties which meet 'yeisr gene at every turn in "dear Philadelphia," The whole city is alive with excitement. The English flag is flying from every homes. Transparencies, with seek sentences /1.9 " God save the Queen," " Welcome our future King," . 411 up every win dow. Evergreens adorn the doors—up and down the' fronts of many edifices gas pipes are placed to be heed in the general illumination this evening. 4t the principal looalitiee triumphal arches span thestreets from side to side. They are of Ito. posing proportions, and decorated with elegant taste. The Prince arrived off the city yesterday afternoon, but was quietly driven to his borne while in :Montreal—the residence of the Hon. John Roso—tho procession having been postponed until to-day, in consequenee of the storm. returned to the 'steamer " Kingston " early this morning. At 10 o'clock a royal salute of twenty.one guns from the three vessels of his fleet lying off the eity—the Styx, (famous, for boarding American vessels), the Valorous, and Flying Fish—an nounced that he had landed. After an address from the mayor the royal party started on the line of march, the military, firemen, and civie bodies opening their columns and saluting him as he passed. I saw the procession on Great St. James street. First came about fifty " ohildren of the forest," dressed off moat gaudily. The ohief—a stalwart tigers, with a native dignity of manner that proved he was every inch a chief—walked in the rear of the tribe. The Canadian Volunteers next arrested my at tention. They turned out some five or air Hun dred strong,. and looked well. In the carriage drawn by four horses, and driven by a flue-looking fellow in Al coat, knee breeches, and cockade in kat, rode his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and heir apparent to the , English throne. On his left sat Sir Edmund Head, the Governor General. His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, and the gallant General Williams, commander of the forest, were on the front sesta. The Prince was received enthuelaitimilly all along the'rnute. I had an abundant opportunity of see• ing him and watching some of the peculiarities of his manner. He makes a favorable impression on all. His features are finely formed. He is mush min sunburnt,he has Saxon hair, worn short, and may be regarded as a " pretty boy." In reopense to the shouts that greeted him every minute he would, without bowing, gently and gracefully lift hie ehapeanjust above Ms head and only for an in stant. When receiving the salutations of the mul titude his features never wear a smile. His re cognition is thus graceful but meohanioal. When in conversation with his companions in the car riage bespeaks apparently with animation, and his whole face Is lighted up with a genial smile that instantly wins regard. He was dressed in the full uniform of a colonel, scarlet °eat and pants, white kids, chapeau, and sword. The Duke of Newcastle is a fine specimen of a well-preserved old English gentlemen. The suite of the Prince, with the principal officers of the army and fleet now in Canada, followed in car riages, in the first of which, among others, rode Lord Lyons. It was amusing to see the way in which "His Worship" the Mayor was received by the people. The Mayor was dressed with a groat cloak of rod cloth, chapeau, and sword, all imported from England expressly for this occasion. At some points, where his adherents were assembled, be would be welcomed with stouts, in response to which he would bow, and then would go up dad- Ave cheers and taunts from those who are arrayed on the other side in politics. The Members of the corporation of Montreal are an honor to the city. There are no " roughs" members of Councils hero. They may be politi cians, but they are gentlemen. The Highlandere, in costume, their limbs bare to the thighs, were objects of much curiosity. ' Next to the Prince, the Boston Fusiliers, eighty four muskets, now on a visit here, and who were in the procession, were received with most eclat. Indeed, it did my heart good to sea the way in which one of our volunteer corps was received As they dashed along, with a quick stop, loud hussar, and the waving of handkerchiefs from ladies fair, gave evidences to them of a hearty welcome The procession was' disagreed at the Palace of Industry, which was then inaugurated by the Prince. At two o'olocit, the Vostoria Bridge was inaugu- rated with proper ooreasonies. It is a mistake to supposelhat the well.worded ' , elates to - the many' addresses presented to his Royal highness are his produatione. A day or two before each address is delivered, a oopy is sent to the Duke of Necroastle, who writes out a reply, which is beaded to the Prince at the proper time, and by him read as his own. It iB now near midnight and the whole eiti foil. luminated. It is a beautiful sight, and one that will long be remembered. Wherever the eye turns it is met with a blare of fire. The triumphal &robe+, the chipping in the harbor, the trees in the publie squares, the fountains, while gushing forth streams of water, are all lighted with innumerable lumps. The illumination of the Bank of Montreal is said to be the finest ever witnessed in America. A fellow-Philadelphian at my side, who has spent a considerable time abroad, says he never saw anything finer in Paris. A loud cheer a few mi nutes ago was heard down the street, and at a quick trot same along the carriage of the Prinoe, pre ceded by a detachment of pollee oa a full run, to keep clear the way. Lord Lyons rode with the Prince, who was dressed very plainly. While the streets have been thronged from early morn until now, midnight, 1 have not seen the least dis turbance, and heard but of one arrest, that of a pickpocket. It is announced that the Prince will attend In the morning (Sunday) at the English Cathedral Church, and in the evening_ at the Scotch Kirk. Admittance can only he obtained by Collets, Letter from 4Kappa." [Correepondeeoe of The Press.] WASHINGTON, August 00, 1800 The President bee returned from his atump speeshing tour to the North. He is in the best health, and hopes to live much longer than the party that platted him In power. It is, quite amusing to observe the winding end turning of the Government organ, canoed by the triumphant reception of Mr Douglas in Virginia. According to the Constitution, there vrAs no an them= on the part of the Democrats; they kept their mouths shut, and not a single shout of ap plause, nothing except curses at the temerity and boldness of the "Little Giant" to talk popular sovereignty in Virginia, escaped their lips. All the hurrahing, if there was any, emanated from the chuckling, joking, and anti-Disunion Union men. They hid all the fun, and made all the fun. The hearts of the Breckinridgers had become steeled against the " Little Sucker" mere ly by looking at him, and listening to his speeches about squatter sovereignty. Douglas wee injuring himself bravery speech he made ; the South was a unit against him, and not a thousand "little giants" could unsettle what had been prepared and arranged by Mr. Buchanan and his adjutant generals, Slidell, Bright, Bigler, Jefferson Davie, et id ommegenus. Breakinrldge would be elected in spite of the Democracy, and Mr. Buchanan would with dignity retire, like a second Oineinna tne, or Charles the Fifth, either upon his farm, or into a convent. The idea that Douglas bad a right to speak to his friends in Virginia, after the President and the Vioe President bad entered the polities] arena against the regular Democratic or gantsatson, and abused their high official posi tions, was utterly absurd and another proof of the depravity of the man. Quad live Joni, non (teat Ova, the old Romans used to say in similar eases. In short, it Is ridiculous, and almost pitiable, how our Seceders swallow the bitter doses which Dou glas is giving them in the South.

They want to bear what orders Mr. Buchanan has for them in store; Mr Sobel!, especially, is in an ugly dilemma. Mr. Buchanan is averse to any fusion in New York, that will give the State to Douglas, as it is his sin cere desire to do everything in his power to pre. vent the latter from carrying one single electoral vote in the North, for be predicted something like that in his great stump speech, and, therefore, he does not wish to become a false prophet. The Breekinridge men in - New York, however, aro be coming from day to day beautifully hie, and it is feared that hardly one will be left on the election day, Therefore, Mr Bohan, In order to save him self, wants to fuse on any condition, and is daily troubling fir. Buchanan, to receive his consent to do so. Besides that, the President does not desire Lincoln shall lose New York, as it would defeat him—something which would be exceedingly tresslng to, the old man. Ifs wants to be the last Demoeratio President. Ills Administration shall be iodeldered as one of the epochs of Amerioan Moto ry7.the downfall of the Union and the destruotion of our greatness and power. Whether he will sue seed or not nobody can tell. But, I repeat again, Mr. Lincoln has no warmer friend in the whole country than Mr. Buchanan. Ifarea.

[Correspondence of Tbe Pram] Tho meeting of Bell and Everett Union men, held last evening, for the purpose of listening to it speech from ex-Clovernor Bunt, was attended by an audios:de:as large: ea could gain mess to the man The apeeob was an able one. It had been carefully written out, and proof-elipa were sent to the press. Its delivery and publication have pro- ducted a strong impression, and given a fresh im petus to the onward mob in favor of Douglas. .I can seemly convey to you an accurate notion of the amount of political talk indulged in in our counting-rooma, banks, stores, and among commer cial men everywhere. Publio opinion is surging about in a manner hitherto entirely unknown; but it begins to have a healthier tone, and is rapidly coming right. Etentlemen engaged in trade are perceiving that publio oredit depends upon public stability, and that the fanaticism of the North, like the Secessionism of the South, is detrimental to the mercantile interests.' The Commissioners of Police, in conformity with the suggestions of the General Superintendent, yesterday unanimously direoted that oilicer to open a correspondence with. the police authorities of other oilier, for the interchange of detectives. You may therefore expect to see in Philadelphia a few of our sharp•eyed thief-takers, and give us in re turn the pteeenco and experience of some of yours. The interchange cannot but produce excellent re sults to the departments of both cities. Do you have in Philadelphia any young men, in the paper•making way, who are ambitions of lite rary distinction and reward ? A chance is opened for them. In ono of the morning journals is an advertisement of Partridge, Plimbet, & Warren, offering a prize of $l5O for the best treatise on the origin and progress of paper-banging, and the decoration of houses. A clever essay on the sub. jeot would not only bring the offered $l5O, but could be sold to a newspaper man or enoyoloptedia maker for as mush more. New York City and State is in a broad guffaw this morning at the grand burst•up of that gory warrior, General Gustavus Adolphus Scroggs, and his great party of siaty-live, who "went cut" of the American State Council yesterday, at Schenectady. A more ludicrous political per formance was never beheld. At home, the Ge• neral has been snubbed—politically snubbed— in the most offensive manner by his old friends and associates, who elevated him to " power and position." Ho indulged in the pleasing illusion that when he opened his box at the opening of the Council, and took snuff; the whole Council would sneeze. Instead of that, he was taken by the eornff of the neck and rapidly ejected from the Convention. They made splendid 0 time" with him. . It is scarcely necessary to say that the action of the Connoil kunanimously approved by the Ame ricans of the State, and that wo may now count with entire confidence upon carrying the State. Your " own correspondent" was so enthusiastic upon the subject last evening, that he made a wager with the nefarious editor of a Sunday paper, of dinners for six at Delmonice'e, that Stephen" would bag New York. Think of that ! Most of the members of the Democratic State Committee are in town, and will hold a meeting this evening or to morrow, for the purpose . of or ganization, and to make some general arrange. menu for the campaign. Have no fear that they will make any foolish arrangements with the Broottinridgers. Letter from si Graybeard." My letters from here last season, although but feebly descriptive of the physical characteristics and traditional history of Ephrata, have left little room under these beads for the same pen to enlarge upon now, and, Booth to say, I am not sorry that it is so. Not that the subject is less fruitful or more devoid of interest now than it was a year ago, but I confess to having come here this season with ether motives than occupyjmg my time in writing letters, or troubling you with their publication No matter bow I may succeed, I em here in quest of rest end recreation. Hundreds—l suppose, in the aggregate, thousands—have ooma here before me since the 10th of June for the same purpose. Some of these have returned recreated, physically, and there Is no reason why they should not, amid these beautiful surroundings, have been as muob rejuve• noted, wontedly and morally. d lieve God's green footstool affords a bette for purging a man's soul from the cobwebs e ered by business and profeisional life than the exquisite semi mountain scenery and delightful atmosphere for which this portion of Pennsylvania is pro verbial. I came up by the II 60 train on Saturday, and was much gratified to lee theme& change wrought upon the face of the country by the recent rains. Everywhere the saturated earth looked radiant with new life, and fields which, two weeks ago. seemed on the eve of being famine-strnek, are now big with promise to reward the farmers' honest toll. The early crops through thta regloie—thle Genesee Valley of the Old Keystone—have been immeasurably abundant. It is estimated that ti e wheat crop just gathered In Lancaster bounty will not fall short of eight -million bushels. The farms in this vicinity are actually burdened with their own bounty. You know the enormous barns for which this county is noted, and when I state that there are all filled from floor to comb, and that almost every farm you pass bears proudly in its lap some dozen or twenty legitimate offspring, in the share of as many well:formed, portly wheat-stacks, you can form some idea of the overflowing yield of this important cereal through this notion. In a abort drive around the neighboring country I counted, within a single view, one hundred crud Miro seven of these hive-shaped agricultural pyramids. "Our House," owned and kept by Joseph Ko nigmacher, Erq , a kind and intelligent gentle man, and one, moreover, who "knows bow to keep a hotel," has been steadily increasing in popular favor from year to year, making annual accessions to the extent of its accommodations necessary, and giving evidence that, eta future day not distant, Ephrata Mountain Springs will be unrivalled by any other watering-place in Pennsylvania. I am not sure that it has not attained this distinction already. For several weeks this mason every room in the house was occupied, and the company still continues large, and evinces a disposition to stay late. Your remarks to-day respecting the advantages of prolonging the season at the sea-side are equally applicable to this mountain home The most charming season here is, in fact, now only commencing. The atmosphere is so crisp and inspiringly oxygenated that the breathing of It gives a man a more excited idea of hie manhood. Those whose ideas'may be already too exalted in this respect had, of course, better not come. But they who have the honest purpose in courting dame Nature, of espousing her noble teachings, can come here, and I believe be as effectually benefited as at any other point, no matter how oelebrated for its health-giving qualities. Much as has been written about Ephrata, I have never yet seen justice done to the beauty and variety of its surrounding scenery. The OM• moramio view from the tower (a geographer! description of which your correspondent con tributed to the columns of The Press last season, which I see also has been honored by Mr. K.— with a prominent place in his recently-published book for the use of boarders) is certainly one of the grandest and most picturesque imaginable, and to the mind capable of ministering to its own happiness there are a thousand quiet nooks and Elysian delis, within an hour's walk of the hotel, that aro highly favorable to the meditation Welt flows from contemplating Nature. Besides this, everything is done that • can be for the comfort of visitors. Mr H li. Reinhard, the caterer for the house, has long ecjoyed an enviable repute. Lion in that capacity, and Mr Slaymaker, who knows, and is known by, almost everybody, con tributes largely to keep off home-sickness from all who come here, by his attention and uniform urbanity. But I must not dose this hurried; and I fear un interesting, epistle without a slight allusion to our Sunday programme. Every Sunday, generally morning and evening, during the season, there has been Divine service held in the gentlemen's parlor of the hotel, the preacher's place being usually canopied by clergymen who happen to be sojourn• log here, of whom there have this season been quite a number Yesterday morning it was our privilege, do esteemed by many, to listen to a dis course by Friend Collins, • female preacher. of Twelfth street (Orthodox) Meeting, in your oily. Friend 0 is the wife of lasso Collins, a well. known and highly respectable citizen of Philadel phia, who has the distinction of having been the employer of the Harper brothers, New York, and of having first set up that enterprising firm in km. illness. The entire services of the morning were conducted by this lady—not many years the junior of her husband who is more than seventy—with the exception o f' the opening passages of Scripture which were read by Mr Collins It was known 10 many that the presence of a Quaker preacher was not always a guarantee of a 15914X100, and so there was no small suspense as to, what might be the " moving of the Spirit." A few minutes after the reading, however. the fair, characteristically well preserved, and highly intelligent lady rose, and with a clear, melodious voice, in their aeons tamed half-singing style, offered a prayer, full of faith and Scripture, and here and there a tinge (not at all objectionable) of orthodox Quakerism. After the prayer there was another silent pause. To my mind there is a solemnity about this feature of Friend's worship that would be infinitely preferable to the „noisy sounds, without sense, which have beccime more or less fashionable of late in devotional meetings, especially" Union" ones, in order, as it le said, to " fully occupy the time." I suppose from this time on " Graybeard " will bo heralded fie Quaker, or at least until it shell be his province to sward due credit to the merits of some other roll glom; denomination. The preacher commenced her sermon by quoting'these beautiful words con earning the atoning mission of Christ : " Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world 1" not as a text, as that is a practice not tolerated by Friendly usage, but as a mere open ing sentence to what was certainly a very excel lent presentation of Gospel truth, it had not the merit of a eystematie sermon in a more rhetoric' sense. The discourse °coupled over a half hour, and was listened to with profound, and I doubt not, profitable attention. More anon. GRAYBEIARD. NEWH-BOY Letter front New York. NNW YORK, August 29, 1860 EPHRATA MOIINTAIN SPRINGS, ) LANCASTER CO., Aug 2T,1860. People's Nominees for co,ngrelir. The following sketches of the People's nominees for Oongress, as far as made, have, recently appeared in the Sunday Dispatch : F/RIT DISTRICT —Jour M. Sun.'s This gentleman is a resident of the Fourth ward, and has been for many years. A native of New Jersey, be came to this city in early boyhood; and wan apprenticed to a Mr. Fey,•whe was then engaged in the printing busineas. After nerving sevend years at tide trade, Mr. Butler went to learn plate-printing. In this business he Is said to be remarkably proficient. When a journeyman bin dollars were spent an tbapurchase of booke. 'His mind is well stored with general and 'varied knowledge. In conversation he 13 quick, and expresses himself clearly and forcibly. His person is slender and tall, being full five feet ten inches in height, with quick and energetic movements. His iron-gray hair and whiskers in dloate an age of fifty. His eye In large, full, and of light-blue color; hie forehead high and promi nent All the intellectual indloatious show quick nem of perception and great energy of character. He has built up an engraving and plate•printing business second to none in the Union. Tha works issued by Mr. Butler as publiehor have been costly contributions to historical recorde of art. Starring his political career as an old-line Whig, he never took an active part in public affairs until 1858. Slate that time ho has worked for his party with groat energy and will. No one was more in strumental than John M. Butler in aiding William B Mann to ferret out the frauds committed during the eleotione of that year in the Fourth ward, and none more heartily sought to bring the porpetra• tore to justice In 1858 that ward gave 1,400 ma• jority for the Demooratio ticket. Butler and him coadjutors have reduced that majority to about 500 in round numbers. Thin result hes only been of footed by oonatant partisan ardor and vigilance. In 1858 Mr. Butler was a candidate for Congress, and received the next highest vote in the People's Contention to Major Ryan, the nominee. Last spring he was cleated by hie party as a delegate to the Chicago National Convention. He occasional ly addressee public meetings, but is not a prac ticed speaker. As a brudnees man his reputation is of the very first order; and be is distinguished for regularity and probity. SECOND DISTISICT.—EDWAIID JOY Monßl Mr. Morris is a native of the Second Congres atonal district, where he has resided many years, except when as a traveller abroad, or as a public official. He was born in 1817, and is now forty three years of ago. He graduated at Harvard University. About 1839 he went abroad and spent three or four years in traversing Europe and the Orient. Upon his return ho entered upon a politi cal career. He was twloe successively elected to the State Legislature, and served with Sharswood, Trego, Rocithill,Bpaokman, Stevens, and Derail). His constant advocacy of the protective system be gan then. His speeches upon this sabjeet attracted the general attention and approbation of the Whig party. In 1843 he ran for Congress in what was then the First district, and was elected. Two years afterwards he wee defeated. In 1850 he received the appointment of Chargé d'Affaires to Naples, and remained abroad until 1854. American tra vellers. who visited Europe during that period, speak in terms of commendation of the hospitality of Mr. Morris, and of the high respect in which he was held by the diplomatic corps. Every previous outstanding American claim was adjusted during his residence there, and in more than one instance be successfully interfered for tho release of the victims of Bomba's cruelty. Upon his return in 1855 Mr. Morris received the nomination of the American party for the Legisla ture, and was returned. During the session of 1858 be received the vote of his party, then in the minority, against Bigler, for the United States Senate. During the fall of that year he obtained the nomination of his party in the Second district for Congress, and wee elected, running ahead of his fellow-nominees over two hundred votes. In 1958 be was renominated and elected by over 1,800 majority—the largest given in that district for many years for a member of Congress. In the organisation of the last Howe of Repre sentativett Mr. Morrie took a conspicuous part, voting steadily for two months for Jahn Sherman, and on more than one occasion vindicating him The South Americana made overtures to the Re publicans, to the effect that they would vote for him for Speaker, if the latter would support Mr. Morris Mr. Morris refused to suffer his name to he used In order to strike Mr. Sherman down. One thing is certain : he took a leading part in all the stirring debates of the House, and won for himself a national reputation as a debater and parliamentarian He was an ardent advocate of the Morrill Tariff bill. On account of the ill-bealth of Gov. Corwin, Mr. Morris was the leading spirit upon the Committee of Foreign Affairs. and introduced and had passed several Important Ole relative to our intercourse with foreign nations Ono of these conferred Judi. Mal powers of a very extensive character upon our consuls, in all matters of dispute between' ur citi zens abroad and to citizens of Japan, Siam, and China. Aa a translator and anthlr, Mr. Morris has given to the world several hooka of high repute for strength of style and beauty of diction. Among those are his " Travels in the Holy Land, Egypt, ac.:"Afroja;" t , Turkey, So c ially and Poli tically;" " Corsica, Socially and Politically," etc. LATEST NEWS By Telegraph to The Press.

PERMANENT ORGANIZATION. Ballots for Recorder of Deeds, Prothono tary, and Clerkof Quarter Sessions. The People's City Convention to nominate can. didates for the various Row offices met yesterday afternoon at the District Court room, No. 2. The room was very small, and a large outside delega tion crowded in. A scene of unparalleled confu sion ensued. There were mingled shrieks and groans, cheers and Moses. Capt. Malt was ap pointed chairman, and then requested to abdicate. Mr George C. Evans succeeded him. Efforts were made to oust him, but he needed that be would not be turned out. [Cheers j A personal collo tiny ensued between the chairman and an elderly individual, who thought he had usurped his au thority. Finally, the room was cleared of all persona, and the names of the delegates being called from a printed slip, they tame in one by one. Confusion again occurred. A secretary was appointed, and Messrs. John C. Martin and G. Malt no m i na t e d for temporary chairman. The roll was called. Mr. Martin received slxty.focr votes and Mr. Moffit seventy-four. Copt G. Moffit then teak tie chair amidst ap plause. Mr. Martin very vielenGy protected that the call was incorrect and the °lotion corrupt. Mr. Moffit was sustained. The president was much embarrassed, and a dozen officious delegates surrounded him to make all manner of sugges tions. A personal diffirnity occurred between one of these and a gentleman who suggested the pro priety of the assistant presidents taking places in the body or the house. The delegates stood upon chairs and desks. Several parties, not delegates, smuggled themselves into the room, and sundry motions were put simultaneously. It was evident that the Convention was divided into factions, and that the juvenile element was largely represented. What the disorderly parties purposed to effect by securing a temporary chair. man was not plain. We were told, however, that friends of rival candidates' for Recorder of Deeds fomented the row. Messrs. Charles D. Freeman and Alfred O. Banner wore said to be each cer tain of the nomination. Neither of them was present. Their friends pulled the ropes. Committees of one from each ward upon creden tials and organization were appointed. After they retired the room was quiet, with the exception of a few yells from the throng in the vestibule. There were one hundred and thirty-two dele gates in the Convention. The final enforcement of order was mainly due to the calm anti resolute efforts of Mr. A. M. Walkinahaw. The outside pressure in the Convention was very great. The Pavement below the court-room was thronged with politicians. Mr. Walkinshaw, chairman of the Committee on Credentials, reported the names of the delegates. They have been already given. The Committee on Organization reported the following permanent officers: For President—John 0 Martin. Seoratery—John MeeDowell. . . Treasurer—A. H. Dunlap. Doorkeepers—Ed Simpson, VI. Van Tyne, (]co. Freese, Thos. Thompson, jag. Cohan. Meesenger—Aaron Joseph. Mr. Martin was escorted to the chair by Mr. Moalt, amidst applause. He made some remarks of a partisan character. The Convention proceeded to ballot for candi dates for the Row offices. A number of communioationswere received from various candidates, plodiing themselves to support the whole ticket, and LICICOIII and Curtin. Some of them appeared to be in very questionable syntax. /SECONDER Or DEEDS let bal. 2d bal. 3d bal. 4th bal. sth bal.

Francis Clinton presided. There was rather a slim attendance, only twenty-two persons being present. A resolut on was offered that the meetings of the Club be discontinued until after the October elec tion, with the view of harmonising the Democratic party. Mr. Andrew Miller opposed the resolution, con tending that there was a disposition on the part of the Douglas men to oppose Samuel J Randall, the Senatorial nominee. He was in favor of keeping up the organisation of the Club, for the purpose of seeing what " these people" would do. If they would not support Randall he was in favor of op posing Wm. E. Lehman, the Democratio candi date for Congress. He (Miller) said the no mination of Lehman was a bad one ; for two years ago, Lehman was using all hie energy and Talents to defeat the regular nominee of the party, Col Florence, and we would be serving him right if we paid him back In his own soup. lie mounted the idea of their being ruled out of the party for not supporting " regular nominations;" for, said he, if we oppose Lehman now, we stand the best chance for preferment two years hence, as the party showed that they rewarded renegades, by taking up Lehman, who was a renegade two year* ago. He did not believe " these people" (the Douglas men) would support Randall, and he, for one, was for holding off, to see - what "they" would do, before he would pledge himself to vote for Lehman, who was the companion of Forney, an other renegade, who had got his reward, and now " they" were giving Lehman his reward for hie apoataey. It had come to a pretty pass when Do mourats were asked to vote for such men. Mr. John Welsh regretted that Mr. Miller had introduced this subject. Be (Welsh) was in favor of the resolution, as he was In favor of uniting the party, and endorsing all the local nominations which bad been made. Ile had been a delegate in the Convention which nominated Mr. Lebrato, and be had done everything in his power to defeat his nomination, but str.„toshman having got the nomi nation fairly and regularly, he (Welsh) intended to give him his hearty support. Re could not aie what good was to be aocompliebed by /terming tp the organization of the club, and thought. it woulu be better to discontinue it until after the October •leotioo. The question was taken, when the resolution wee lost, only 2 voting in favor, to 20 spinet it.
