a serious case that w!lll,,,ltilfliKiichiMirnalt

sault upon a political adversary. The New
York Tribune set a gocid lesson to politicians
in 1856, when it came out, in advance of the
Presideritlatitriggle, and deprecated all per
sonaldittsAinPon Mr. BucettaLuf. It is true,
there are many journals that have not yet
reached the proper standard in this respect,
and some, we regret to say, that made a merit,
of liberality four years ago, aro to-day singu
larly forgetful of this fact. It is a common
thing to see flippant allusions to•the habits of
Judge DOUGLAS, whose unexampled canvass is
Probably the most triumphant answer to all
accusations of this' sort. We have noticed
unneeessirilY'iriotent imathemas' upon Mr.
BnloftramiGE; some' of *high impugn his in
tegrity, as' gentleman, Which 'any one who
knows the man hie never doubted; and it
seems to be the Practice, in many quarters,
to heap ridicule and contempt upon Mr. Lis
comr,-the Republican candidate for President;
-But the improvement upon the paid is mani
fest and marked. •
We can remember the time, twenty years
ago, when a man of the most spotless reputa
tation had only to become e candidate for of
flee to lose his reputation, and when difficul
ties in counties at Presidential elections fre
quently divided families, and made the oldest
and best friends personal foes. We are far
from supposing that whenA citizen becomes
an au aspirant for 'office he therefore becomes
infallible. On the contrary, we think all his
public seta shOuld be investigated. We re
peat, that the country is greatly indebted to
the independendent press. The editors and
controllers of that important pioneer and en
gineer of public opinion, have generally set
theirfitees Against unnecessary and malignant
assaults upon the leaders' and the representa
tisfes of parties, and we perceive,with great sa
tisfaction, that many of the journalists. in the
interior are rapidly following the same whole
some practice.
Some weeks ago, a story was put in circu
lation against Hon., HANNIBAI HAMLIN, the
Repuldicaricandidate for Vice President,' that
he had acted as attorney in a certain disrepu
table case, while a Senator in Congress, and
great stress has been put upon this accusation
to show that Mr. Mouse is a corrupt and dis
honest man. The changes -have been rung
upon it, and just at the point when most of
the adversariei of Mr. HAMLIN began to
believe what was said, a distinguished politi
cal opponent in Maine, of the Republican can
didate for Vice President, upon whose testi
mony the original cluirge was persisted in,
comes forward and states that he was mis
taken, and acquits Mr. HAMLIN of all blame.
We allude, of course, to the much-discussed
allegation against Mr. Hamm; in regard to
the Brasillan commission. We are heartily
rejoiced to see the candidate of a large portion
of the American people for a high office so
significantly cleared of all complicity in a sus
picieni transaction. Newspaper editors and
active politicians should be careful, before
making any charge against an opponent, to
ascertain the entire facts of the case, because
it is much better to avoid an attack than to be
compelled to make a humiliating apology.

Dr.Osaazss MA.OLAY, in 1857-58, at which
time he was editor of the Illustrated 'London
News,' was" made by desire of Mr. I:eau/ad.
Mr. Hannuni Imam, born in Boston, Lin
colnshire, (England,) in 1811, reqeived his
education" ' the public school of that town.
He was apprenticed to the business of printer,
and' carried it on, for• some years; in a small
way, in Nottingham, in which town' he con
tinued until the great success of a quack meth
eine, called Parr's Pills, induced him to re
wive to London. There be conceived the
idea of. commencing a pictorial paper, the
main purpose of.which should be to make the
public better Acquainted with" Parr's Life
Pills. He .wae a man of business, and saw
that a keneial; instead of a particular, picto
rial paper might succeed., On the 14th of
May, 1842, the first number of the Illustrated
Lorultni News was published, And a few weeks'
experience showed that the speculation was
likely to succeed. Mr. Imaitax entered into it
with tact and and the paper, which
now circulates all over the world, has obtained
an immense circulation, and is said to yield
Mr.' Unsex not less of clear profits than
$lOO,OOO a . year. He has mills of his own, in,
Hertfordshire; near London, where he manu
factures his own, paper, and has a regular staff
of designers .and engravers, who supply the
numerous illustrations which he requires.
Mr. liosau is also proprietor of the illus
trated Times, a journal T of great pictorial and
literary merit. •
In March, 1856, Mr. Isonax was elected
Member of Parliament for his native town of
Boston, and has since been twice re-elected.
He is no Orator, but cannot be called a silent
member, inasmuch as he frequently speaks
upon business questions—but always without
pretence, and invariably ad rem. Mr. IN
GRAM'S political opinions are of the most libe
ral and advanced character. He is, indisputa
biy, a gentleman who, in and out of Parliament, -
holds and expresses opinions in favor of ge Pro
gress. " There are more showy legislators in
England, but few who are so liberal and
straightforward as Mr. HARBERT INGRAM.
• The latest telegram tells us that Mr. IN-
Max's body had been recovered, Which inti
mates that be, as well as his son, had perished.
Uncertain whether Mr. Inonait's death really
has'taken place, wp let what we have written
about him pass as it is. Dead or living, it is
the truth.
Death of Mr. W. W. Horner.
It grieves us ,to add that among the lives
lost by the casualty which has terminated so
very tragically, is that of Mr. W. W. HORNER,

TUE PRESS.-PffitADELPRIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1860.
Political Paragraphs.
The Harrisburg, Reading, and Pottsville
speeches, of. Senator DiemAs have mowed
down And kJ . ittered theranks of the Seceders
like,seMany red.hot broadsides. Re scorns
all ceMbinations with the enemies of the prin.
cfpleffjted of the regular organization of the
Natforial Democratic party. He sees that
the fusion electoral ticket, advocated by
WELSH and the custom house in this city,
composed of a majority of the supporters of
an irregular, minority, Disunion candidate for
the Presidency, is intended to be used to pro
mote the downfall of the Democratic party.
Looking beyond the present, and anticipating
the future, lie accepts the fact that there can
be no concert, after the present campaign,
between the enemies and advocates of the
Union, and, therefore, he refuses to tolerate
everything like compromise with, or conces.
sion to,' the supporters of Hr. Beatouummoz.
The common sense of Senator Hturrna's
late speech in Virginia' is about this : That so
long as slavery was unprofitable in the South,
it was all right to take peaceable measures for
its gradual abolition; but when it became a
source of immense wealth to the planters,
and to those interested in the groWth and
sale of negroes, it rose into a Divine institu
tion which must be protected by all the pow
ers of the Government, even at the risk of
breaking up the Union.
A professed neutral paper of this city com
plains of the sameness of the speeches of
Judge Dolmas, and thinks the people are
tired of them on this account. The truth is,
there is nothing more remarkable in the pre
sent campaign than the versatility, novelty,
and freshness of these extempore productions
of the great Senator. This distinguished ora
tor makes a new speech at every point, seizes
upon local history to illustrate his opinions,
and astonishes his bitterest enemies by his
good humor and fearless frankness.
The humor and wit of Judge DOUGLAS is as
irresistible as his argument. When the train
stopped at a little town in Vermont, during
his recent tour through that State, Judge
Donates stepped upon the rear platform, and
said a few kind words to the crowd who insist.
ed upon seeing and hearing him. Some en
thusiastic Republican proposed three cheers
for LINCOLN, which were heartily given, when
Judge DOUGLAS smilingly turned to the crowd
and said : ct Fellow-citizens—ln his absence I
feel called upon to respond to that compli
ment to my friend LINCOLN. Whatever of
credit is due to him I feel a right to claim an
interest in it, for he and I belong to the same
State. I am his friend, and he is my friend ;
and you—the partisans of Mr. Lxsonn—
should be my friends, for if it had not been
for me you never would have known him as a
candidate for the Presidency." The effect of
this happy turn was electrical, and called forth
rapturous applause, the Republicans joining
loudly in it.
Joan C. BREMIRRIDGE, in his Lexington
speech, took credit to himself for not voting
In 1848, when ten. CABs was the Democratic
candidate for President, stating that he went
hunting with six or eight gentlemen belonging
to the Whig party, and added, that "if every
man had done as well as himself; we"=that is,
the Democrats—" would have carried the
State by forty thousand majority." The logic
of this argument is equal to its arithmetic,
but it is wholly consistent with the entire
speech. It cc every man" in the State of Ken
tucky had done what Major BRICKINEIDGE
did in 1848, and had taken "six Whigs" with
him on a hunting expedition, there would
have been nobody to vote, and a gobd many
less than nobody. We fear the Major, when
he became a Disunion candidate, also became
a Hibernian.
Edwin Forrest at Home.
We notice that our distinguished townsman,
Entirin FORREST, has returned from his MC..
easeful engagement at Baltimore, and under
stand_that Ms his intention to remain with his
friends at home, until Friday or Saturday
next, when he will leave for New York - to
prepare for his great engagement at Nino's,
which is to extend through thirty-six alter
nate nights. He is in capital health and fine
spirits, and speaks warmly of the reception
extended to him by the discriminating people
of Baltimore. The Baltimore press, without
exception, paid the highest tributes to his per
sonations of the six plays produced under his
auspices, and the .dmerican of Saturday makes
the following suggestive notice of his last
night in that city :
" HOLLIDAY-STREET THEATRE.—Mr. Forrest
closed his brief engagement at this house last
night with a success that fairly rose into a grand
professional triumph. Notwithstanding an atmos
'pherio temperature that suggested 'Many pleasanter
places than the inside of a crowded theatre, the
house was literally peaked in every part. We
have never seen within the Old Holliday a larger,
a fleer or more enthusiastic audience. Mr. For.
rest's Lear Is unquestionably his masterpiece--a
triumph so complete and perfect, so literally
abounding with fine points and strong•beauties,
that upon it he may safely rest his claim to the
highest rewards of dramatic fame. We have
never seen in - Mr. Forrest's heretofore beat per
formances so little with which even captious eriti
clam could find fault, and so much that deserved
generous, unrestricted praise as in his effort of last
night, and the wrapt attention of the vest au
dience, and the uncontrollable bursts of applause
be received were most thoroughly and fairly won.
Today Mr. Forrest leaves' for New York, where
he has a twelve weeks' engagement to fulfil. We
hope to see him in Baltimore again before the sea
son closes."
Public Amusements.
- The regular dramatic season, at Walnut-street
Theatre, commenced last night. We witnessed the
performance of " Ingomar," a drama popularly
accredited to Mrs. Maria Lovell, but actually the
work of her con William, and corrected by her
husband, the author of "Love's Sacrifice," " The
Wife's Secret," and other excellent acting plays.
Mrs. Lovell, like other author-actresses, has to
improve her orthography and syntax before she
claims to have written a play.
Nevertheless, " Ingomar" is a good play, with
several capital dramatic offeo to. Strictly speak
ing, we have but to notice the hero and heroine.
Yet we interject the remark that Mr. Thayer (who
bad a very warm reception, as also had Mr. Du
bois) played Myron much In his old familiar
style—perhaps a little too familiar at last,and
that the part of Potplor, which a good actor
might have individualized into something very
telling, wan played by Mr. Itemple as it' it were a
mere bulb obarnotor. Nothing rnuoh wore° could
have been made of it.
Miss Annette Ince, a well.looking lady of a
blonde complexion, with hair to match, personated
Parthenia—personated it exceedingly well, too.
We have had a sort. of prejudice against " stars"
from California and the West, and truly did not
expect much from Miss Ince. But she conquered
us very soon. She has expressive features, a good
figure, clear articulation, and no small quantity of
tact and judgment. Now and then she mouthed a

The season at Atlantis Oity is fast drawing to a

swelled the arrivals at the few hotels which Mill
remain open. At the United, States alone, the ar

heavy shower of rain which fell there on Saturday

so much so that Sunday was unpleasantly cool, but
the weather there yesterday was delightful, and
many who had purposed leaving for the city de

Correopondonee of the Preis.]
WASHINGTON, September 10, 1860
The protest of the Hon. Preston King, chairman
of the Republican National Committee, against the
manner in which the Republican documents are
withheld by certain poetmastera, will moot a
hearty response in every liberal mind. Nothing
has so disgraced the conduct of the present Admi
nistration as the manner in which many of the of
ficiate connected with the distribution of letters
and newspapers, at various points in the free and
slave States, have prostituted themselves for the
purpose of pleasing their Washington mestere.
The post office is that branch of the Government
which most nearly steals every class and condi
tion of society. The people generally realise the
fairness or injustice of the way in which their Go
vernment is administered, by the regularity end
safety, or the uncertainty and neglect, with which
they receive their correspondence and their print
ed matter.
For more than three years, however, hundreds
and thousands of our . citizens .have been suffering
from the intentional mismanagement of our post
offices. Not only have the Republicans com
plained, but Democrats, known to be opposed to
the policy of the Administration, had to endure
the insolence and the inattention of these post
office officials. Newspaper publishore have been
fearfully injured in their business by these out
rageous practices. Their subsoribers, in numbers
of eases, have failed to reef:live their papers, or
have only received them days after they had
reached the post office. To such an extent has
this unparalleled atrocity been carried, that, in
some parts of the free States, journalists have
been forced to establish routes for themselves, in
order to deliver their papers to their subscribers.
Some postmasters babe openly declined to forward
the New York Tribune, on the ground that it in
an incendiary paper; and these mercenaries have
not been confined to the Southern States, in most
of which such a thing as a Republican journal is
not permitted to circulate at all !
I have known eases in which mail agents on the
ears have impudently refused to deliver anti-Ad
ministration journals. Woe betide the Republican
or anti. Adm Inistration Congressmen who franks a
letter to one of his constituents ! The obanoos aro
all against its ever reading its destination. But
if this organized band of dependents resolve upon
preventing the distribution of documents they can
do It most effectually. They may affect to send
them from one tato and delay or destroy them
In another. Ido not say tiukt all our postmasters
are animated by this shaman' and criminal die
position ; but, I em sorry to say, there are few ex
ceptions to the rule. Buoh an evil is not only cul
pable in the highest degree, but it must end in the
worst consequences. No future Administration
will, of course, consent to equal the malignity that
has disgraced the present, but if the example eet
by Mr. Buoluttnin and his stipendiaries is not re
buked, it will be followed to a greater or a less ex
tent by his successors.
The question whether our entire Poet Ofiloo Do.
partment is not a failure is not a new one. The
heavy losses of our merchants, by accident or de
sign, in the transmission of valuable letters, the
appalling frequency of embezzlement by postmas
ters, the reckless refusal of some to distribute
doouments and papilla and the low and degraded
partisanship that has turned the whole concern
into a mere machine for the gratification of pri
vate malice, are all so many arguments, a hun
dred timer confirmed and strengthened during
the present campaign, L7L favor of a total revision
of the entire inter•postal system of the
,United
States. Why could not lettere and papers be sent
out by an express oompany, paid by the Govern
ment, and bound by heavy penalties and Henri
ties to attend to the duty honestly and promptly ?
I have no doubt that many enterprising men would
gladly undertake the task—leaving to the Govern
ment the oceanic and overland malls. The people
would be benefited' in an incredible degree by.
this, or any similar change, the franking provl•
lege would bo shorn of its worst abuses, and &ope
rate politicians defeated in their tyrannical mur•
widow in the distribution of the overgrown patron
age of the department.
The Postmaster General, Mr. foil, is an honest
and intelligent man. lie bat shown his outrage
on more than one occasion In taking issue with Me,
Buchanan, and I would be glad to see him change
a practice which is inconceivably and confessedly
scandalous. Ills subordinates may not be willing
to obey him when they know they please the Pre
sident, but it would ba greatly to hlikiereonal ere
dit if he would make a virtue of a necessity and
indicate his determination to do his beat to put a
stop to whit is neither more nor, leas thin studied
malfeasance in office on the part of men Who aro
paid for . the performance of a high Oonselentioue
duty.
The Maine election takes place te•day. Al
though the Democratic party is making a gallant
contest I not anticipate encases And why?
The answer is easy. Mr. linobanan has bestowed
more patronage upon Maine then upon any other
New England State. Ills otßoials in Boston, and
elsewhere in Massachusetts, regard Maine an one
of their fiefs, and operate upon it with their paid
presses, and paid subordinates. The Breokinridge
party in Maine, although small in numbers, is
active and unscrupulous, and will throw all their
influence against the regular organisation and oan
didatea to-daY, as they will unquestionably do in
November. The Breokinridgers managed to oast
fifteen hundred votes even in Vermont at the last
election, and will, of course, do better in Maine
to-day. The advantage of the Democrats of Maine,
however, in that the entire organisation, from tbo
Governor down, is squarely committed to Douglas
and to his doctrines, so that whatever fate
may betide them this year they will hence
forth ,move on increasing and entbuilastle
advooates of the principle of cell-government.
No sand:elate for Governor, on any free State,
can shy the Douglas platform by holding out
one hand to the Breckinridgers, and another to
the regular Democracy. Such a man will most as
suredly be rebuked by independent Thamoorata
How muoh better than such a course is the manly
attitude of -such Democratic candidates for Gover
nor as Saxe, of Vermont, Smart, of 'Maine, Hen
drioks, of Indiana, and Allen, of Illinois. They
may be defeated, but they will not be defeated so
disgracefully as those who take a different oourse.
They will come out of the contest with' garments
unstained, and with pure and undefiled hearts.
