It will be seen that an entire change has been made in the electors from the four Con gressional districts in Philadelphia. The gentlemen appointed by the Reading Conven tion, Messrs. Staves, in the Ist ; PATTER sow, in the lid; Oaocxerr, in the Ind; and' Baznnint, in the IVth, having declined 'or refttsed to support the nominations of the regular Democratic nominees for President and Vice President, bare been replaced on the ticket by Jour AsExannza, in the Ist district; Puns-mom iTOZVEIt, in the Ild ; GODFREY Merzoan, in the Illd ; and Ls DWAIID Waxman, in the IVth. These citizens, it gives us pleasure to say, represent not only orthodox, old fashioned Democracy, but the best elements of industry, enterprise, and in tegrity. They are intimately associated with the peculiar interests of the districts in which they live,and are widely and favorably known. Ardently attached, as they have allays been, to the Democratic party, there is not one of the fonr who has not repeatedly, during a Hong life, given signal evidence of his disinterested. nese and patriotism. With no disposition to disparage the gen tlemen who, after having been placed on an electoral ticket by a State Convention which piofessed to support regular nominations, have declined or refused to sustain the choice of the regular National Democracy, we think the new electors of this great city named by the Douglas State Central Committee entirely worthy of the .confidence of all true Demo crats. Of the other new names on the ticket we have hardly space to speak, except as to Josars Downam, of Chester county, a gen tleman of extended influence; of Wien nine, of Bucks, formerly a member of the State Legislature; of Grosor D. STFrZEL, of Barks, at present an associate judge, elected by the Democracy of that county; of Joan Brutes, of Lancaster, one of the most in fluential mea in that empire county; of 'Wu man L. Dzwear, of Northumberland, late member of Congress from his own district ; of WJELIAM R. GOROAS, of Cumberland, for twenty years a leader of the Democracy in Cumberland Valley, and of JAMES S. LEONARD, of Clearfield, a neighbor of Governor BIOLER, and his political opponent, and devoted to the cane of Donexwe and the Constitution. Now gentlemen, Democratic candidates, from Governor down, which will• you take, the straight Democratic ticket, or the false fusion ticket? The question we put to you will have to be answered by yourselves, or the people will answer it against you at the polls. The Italian Imbroglio. The steady and determined zeal of GARI BALDI in the cause of Italian freedom, his wonderful exertions to achieve it, and the re markable encases which has attended his ef. forts to overcome apparently insurmountable cbstaeles, have rendered Italy a point of more general interest to the civilized world, during the last few years, than any other portion of the globe. Despite her ancient renown, and all ,the glories 9f her , past history, a pall of midnight gloom seemed to 'have settled so thickly and closely around her as to have rendered her fatnre an utterly hopeless one. But the actual achievements of -the last two years have far surpassed the expectations of her most - sanguine Revolutionists, and now the downfall of the Bourbon rule in its last Ita lian stioaglsold, Naples, appears to be almost inevitable. To Ganuis.inr belongs a much larger share of the true glory of theta great political changes tins will probably ever be conceded to him in any official shape, for his reward will consist mainly In the approval of his own heart, and the plaudits of the masses 'of his countrymen, rather than in personal aggran dizement. To the latter consideration he is evidently indifferent. Hie sole aim is to be hold 'his long down-trodden and oppressed nation free and nutted. It is true that hi• individual exertions could not have accent. plished this great end without efficient aid hut without his siagle-hearted devotion to it the present _condition and probable future of Italy to-day would be far less fortunate than they are. Given has skilfully fought the diplomatic battles of Italy. VIOTOR Humanoid., with a shrewd eye to the interests of his dy nasty, has given many proofit that he was worthy of the generous confidence upon which the common welfare required some point of authority and power to centralize itself. Lours Nszozzon, partly to gain military prestige, paitly to, gratify biz pique against a Court whiCh had been the most inveterate foe of his 'dynasty, and which, worse than all, sneered .at him as a parvenue, partly from a sincere desire to protect his ally front athreat ened encroachment which France was, by her traditfonary policy, bound to thwart, if she could_ possibly do so, freely furnished the mighty legions of his country to humble the haughty pride of Austria, to drive her back, defeated, cowering, and subdued, and to warn her, in the only manner which could prove ef fective with her stubborn counsellors, that henceforth she must cease to regard Italy as her prey. But GARIBALDI has made his ap peals directly to the hearts of the people, and, as the Soldier of Freedom, his sword has gleamed with an irresistible eloquence of un daunted bravery, which has achieved more than any of his compeers, because it has inspired the masses of his 'countrymen with a determination to work out their deliverance from bondage, to, strike for themselves the blows which break their fetters, and thus laid the only solid foundation for a free Go vernment by evoking an irresistible hostility to tyranny. Now that the fate of Naples is soon to be decided, the powerful (3Overnments of Franc: and England officially announce their determi nation to adhere to the policy of non-inter vention, and Faustus IL can count upon no foreign aid to protect him from the just in dignation of his people. Indeed, he will be fortunate if there is not it very large band of foreign volunteers" arrayed against him in the impending contest, independent of those who originally anstained Gasrz•sar in Sicily, for advertisements for !‘ eximrsionists " to Sonth Italy are openly advertised in the London - journals, and it is reported that the desertions from the Sardinian army to join Gasraaani have been so numerous as to al molt threaten it with demoralization. Meanwhile, in the midst of this impending danger to the Bourbon Cause, a deeplaid con spiracy on the part of the Count of AQUILA, uncle to the King, to overturn the present re gime and to secure hie own elevation to- the throne, has benn detected.' He was obliged to leave the country at once. The army, too, Is apparently as unreliable in Naples as it was In Sicily, and the whole pelitical aspect of the country is snob as to indicate that the harvest is ripe for the sickle of GARIBALDI.

Time's Changes. The Kings of Belgium and Holland have met at Wiesbaden, and bad a friendly inter view of two hours' duration. It is Mated that At a very early date the King of the Nether lands will become the guest of the King of the Belgians at Brussels, and before Christmas this visit will be returned by King LEOPOLD, who wishes to consolidate the good feeling now existing between the Royal families and the people of Belgium and Holland by accept. ing an invitation to visit the King at the Hague. The heartburnings and Jealousies which sprung from the revolution of 1880 have passed away, and in Holland the King of the Belgians will certainly be received with hearti ness and enthusiasm." There is something for grave reflection in this intimacy, late as it is. It shows that "Time at last sets all things even," and takes away the anger and bad feeling which the ruler of Holland could scarcely help cherish ing against LEOPOLD of Belgium. Thirty years ago France bad expelled the hated Bourbons, and the , t glorious Three Days of July" had ended in Paris, hailing Louts PHILIPPE D'ORLEANS as at once a Citizen-King and "the best of Republica." After a time, it is true, Frenchmen came to think that, in substituting LOUIS PHILIPPE for CHARLES the Tenth, they had practically realized the moral contained in the fable of King Log and King Stork. Thirty years ago GEORGE the Fourth and Fat had just departed this life, so little re. spected . and so wholly unlamented that Lon don made a holiday when his gorgeous funeral took place, and gave itself up to joy, junket ing, pic-nles, and jollity. War,rest the ;Fourth, chiefly known, up to that time, as father of a great many illegitimate children, by Mrs. JORDAN, an actress, whom he shame fully deserted iu his old age, was then on the first flush of popularity as "the Sailor King," and the Wellington Cabinet were determining in what manner most explicit to deny the ne-• malty of Parliamentary Reform, and to as sert that the idea of such a thing was pre posterous. Earl GREY was preparing for the Premiership; Tory PALMERSTON was ready to turn his coat by becoming one of a Reform Ministry, and HENRY BROUGHAM was ready to bound over the heads of all his contemporaries at the bar, and alight upon the Woolsack, Chancellor and Peer. Thirty years ago, Pope GREGORY the Six- teenth had just been elected to the tiara; FERDINAND of Spain was doubtless discussing with his fourth wife, CHRISTINA, (now Mrs. Munoz,) how the Spanish nation would take his abolition of the Salique law ; Don lifrauzL, who had usurped the throne of Portugal, was beginning to perceive that his niece, Donna Menu DE GLORIA would speedily dispossess him ; stupid old FnArmis the First, the great NAPOLEON'S father-in-law, was misgoverning Austria and tyrannizing over Italy; the lath CELABLES ALBERT was on the eve of becoming King of Sardinia; the King LED win, afterwards LOLA MONTEZ' friend and pa tron, was poetizing in Bavaria and developing the Fine Arta in Munich ; the late King Bom ba, of accursed memory, as murderer and por jurer, was commencing his reign in Naples the Italian Duchies were under Austrian sove reigns, MARIA LOUISA. (NAPOLEON'S Widow) living as nominal ruler of Parma, the actual governor being her second husband, Count NEIPPERT, the one-eyed; BERNADOTTE. under the title of CHARLES XIV., was reigning in Sweden and Norway, the only one of NAPO LEON'S generals who retained a 'diadem; NtosoLAs of Russia was carefully studying that wonderful document, the Will of Peter the Great, with a view to obtaining a slice of Turkey; our own ANDREW JACKSON was on the second year of his first Presidency, whet ting his beak for a fatal pounce upon the United States Bank; and WILLIAM I. of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands was just beginning to feel that he was very likely to lose Belgium. In 1814, after the first downfall of NAPO LEON 1., what were called The Low Countries (including Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, &c.) were united into what was denominated she Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Prince of Orange-Nassau, hereditary Stadtholder, was made King, and reigned as WlLLins I. When the French Revolution broke out, the feeling extended to Belgium, which, sepa rating from Holland, declared itself inde pendent, in November, 1880. In the July rollowing, Prince LEOPOLD, of Saxe Cobourg, .vas chosen King, and, though the King of the Netherlands objected, by diplomacy. by pen, and by sword, Belgium retained her newly gained independence, and, still under LEO POLD, is one of the most thriving kingdoms of &rump°. The Prince of Orange, eldest son (and eventual successor) of WILLIAM I. of the Netherlands, had small cause for friendship with LEOPOLD. In 1815 this Prince was se. lected by Gaosor IV., then Regent of Eng land, as husband to the Princess CHARLOTTE, of Wales, 121 E; only child by ilbfated CAROLINE , )f Brunswick, but—as ladles sometimes will be—the Princess was self-willed, determined to choose a husband for herself, and selected Prince LEOPOLD, whose worldly property, at rho time, was about $1,600 ayear. The Prince if Orange had to wear the willovr. LEOPOLD married the Princess Cuartkorrs, receiving from England an annuity of £60,000, which has been paid to him ever since his wife's death, in 1817. Thug, the Prince of Orange was literally done out of a wife, in 1816, and a kingdom in 1882, by LEOPOLD of Cobourg. He ascended the throne of Holland in 1840, on his father's resignation of the Crown, revised the, Constitution in 1848, died the following year, and never would meet Lkororm. His son, WILLIAX 111., who took the consti- tntional oath at Antwerp in 1849, immediately after his accession, is a young man who evi dently does not inherit the hereditary hatreds of the family, has shown his good sense in establishing friendly relations with LEOPOLD of Belgium, which will be strengthened, no doubt, by their personal communication at Wiesbaden. LEOPOLD is the most fortunate of living So vereigns. At one time ho solicited a small staff appointment from NAPOLEON, and its re lhsal was a heavy blow to him. A pauper prince, tho heiress to tho British Crown fan cied, married, and enriched him. The Crown of Greece was tendered to him and refused, before he accepted that of Belgium. His .econd wife was eldest daughter of the King of the French, then the Ulysses of roll - sarcha. His regal legitimacy has been fhlly recognized by the marriage of his eldest son to an Austrian Archduchess, and of his only daughter to the brother of the Empe ror of Austria. His sister, who lately died, espoused a Grand Duke of Russia ; his surviving sister, the Duchess of KENT, is mo ther, and his nephew is husband, of Queen 'norms ; and two of his nephews have suc cessively married (one still surviving) the late Queen of Portugal. Wo must conclude, satisfied with having supplied our readers with subject for reflection in this rapid glance at Time's changes within even a single generation. The New Municipal Buildings. We have received photographs of the de signs of Jong Moelitrunn, Jr., for the new municipal buildings of this city, which were accepted by the Commissioners, and have been much impressed by their beautifill ap pearance. The design for the Court House hears a strong general resemblance to the old Capitol at Washington. The main building in the design for municipal officer is some what like Spring Garden Hall, but its columns are longer and less space is occupied by the base which supports them. It has also two large wings attached. The material of which these structures are to be built has not yet been decided upon. Proposals have been in vited for white marble, blue marble, and brown or sand-stone. White marble has al ways been a &verde material in Philadelphia for buildings intended to be architectural monuments of the city, and we think from the plans the new edifices would make a better appearance if it is used, than it any other color is adopted. This point, however, will, we presume, be settled by the Commissioners, and thrn Councils will be called upon to de. Bide whether proper accommodations are to be furnished for the transaction of our legal and municipal business., or whether this whole subject is only to be "agitated" for another generation.

LuarsN MURAT, son of King JOACHIM, ne- I phew of the first and cousin of the third Ni- I roma, has turned' up as a sort of a candidate for the crown of Naples, in the expected event of the King's flight and the liberation of the Neapolitans from the hated Bourbon yoke. It appears that he has been communicated with from Naples, and his reply, cautious as it is, shows that he has not the slightest objection to a throne. His significant reply runs thus : GENTLIMitit : / have received your letter, and answer without delay. The only positions accept able to me aro each as are unambiguous and open. I will never make myself an obstacle to the popu lar wish, however erroneous it may appear to me to be. I am a relation of the Emperor's, and, there fore, not altorether free ; any eat of mine would pledge French policy more or lees, and in the 'ore sent state of unjust distrust now being excited by hostile parties against the Emneror, to whom I am entirely devoted, nothing could be more pernicious than to lead Europe to suppose that Napole• n 111, who is solely intent on the welfare and indepen dense of nations, is merely thinking of replacing his relatives on the throne. When revolution agitates a people, the popular will alone, freely expressed, is able to put en end to disoord and uncertainty, because it forms for it self that supreme law to whioh every good Italian ought to submit. - In the present state of things, it will be profitable for Italy that a constitutional Government should be established in Naples as speedily as possible, in order that liberty may be assured, and that the danger of steamily or invasion may he averted. It is proper, then, for you to know that I would not take part in the movements of your kingdom unlsse the people, released from all external influence whatsoever, should have legally and solemnly manifested the desire of having in me a pledge of independence and prosperity. I should then be strong in the Resent of my cousin ; I should then bring with me the French alliance, the sole and sure guarantee to this'nation of lasting independence. I sacrifice ' therefore, all private interests of my own, and, oaring solely for the nubile interest, I conclude by repeating what I have already said elsewhere, whioh is, that Italy, in my opinion, will find again in a confederation her ancient poser and former splendor. Receive, gentlemen, the exptession of my parti cular esteem, L. Mandy. Castle of linzenval, August 10, 1860. NAPOLEON CHARLES LUCIEN MURAT, s 0• cowl son of the famous cavalry general and CAROLINE BONAPAETE, third sister of NAPO LEON I, was born at Milan, May 16, 1803. ACHILLE, his eldest brother, who died in 1847, resided for some time in the United States, of which, we believe, ho became a naturaliZed citizen. In 1824, ho resided with his uncle JOSEPH at Bordentowu, New Jersey. LUCIEN MURAT was in the United States when the French Revolution of 1848 broke out, and im mediately returned to Frauce,When he became a member of the National Assembly, by election. In 1849, he went as French ambas sador to Turin, returning in 1860. After the coup d'etat of December 1861, ho was made, Senator, and allowed the title of Prince. In 1855, when public indignation was strong in Italy, against the late King Bombs, LUCIEN Musav was openly spoken of as the probably proximate ruler of the Two Sicilies, but de clined taking the initiative to obtain that re sult. He is a man of some talents, good cha racter, and steady habits. In 1827, ho married Miss CAROLINA GEOROINA FRASER, by whom ho has live children, three eons and two daughters. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE Letter from " Oceasional.” [Cot tesneneeueo of The Prees.l WASHINGTON, September 12, 1860 Although the Presidential campaign, up to this time, has not been so exalting and tempestuous as that of 1858, daily developments foreshadow great and startling events in the near future. The Southern people, within the last year, have passed through many severe trials. They may be said to have gathered the experience of a century shoe the incursion and the execution of John Brown. Taxes is undergoing an agonizing process on ac count of her internal disturbanoes. Ambitious politielens and bed men, taking hold of the Harper's Perry invasion, es it were, with one hand, and of the dititoulties in Term with the other, have so managed to confuse and confound the Southern masses that appeals that would have been rejected more than a year ago are now gloomily accepted, or eagerly endorsed. Of course, the men who look to the overthrow of the Union revel in the antioipation of disaster. The Southern fanatic, governed by his fear or his bate, has lashed himself into'futy by what be supposes the injestlee of the people of the free States, and refuses to accept any oompro wise short of a oomplete surrender to his de mands, or a dislocation of the Confederacy. lam not an alarmist. I have full faith and a confirmed confidence in the perpetuity of the Union of Abs.' States ; but any one at We centre—za natter what his feelings may be—who reads the Southern papers and bears the Southern extremists, will he compelled to admit that the foes of the Republic in that quarter are resolved to resort to violent courses should their projeote involved in the elec tion of Breokinridge and Lane be defeated in No vember. I have beard moderate men from the South say they have no doubt that, lu the event of the election of Mr. Lincoln, South Carolina, Georgie, Alabama, and Mississippi, will, through their Legislatures, take steps to retire at once from the Union, and prepare, to use their own language, "to protect their sovereign rights." The fact is, Rhett, Fawley, and the Charleston Mercury are the exponents of the Breokinridge party in the South, and will force that party either to fake the position of submitting to the decision of the ballot-box in November or to take up arm' against it, should that decision be for Lincoln Hash may be said to be the certain fruit of the war made, by Breokinridge and his friends upon the nomination and the platform of the Charleston and Baltimore Democratic Conventions. While hold ing up Mr Lincoln as their pledged adversary, bound, in the event of his election, to draw the sword upon their rights, they contribute to his triumph by dividing the National Demooraey. In the meanwhile, I regret to see that the fiery spirit of the extreme men in the South Is responded to by equal intolerance on the part of ;batty anti slavery leaders of the North. The position assumed by Judge Douglas in hie Norfolk speech was unquestionably the right position, and the great body of the Northern Democracy will never countenance any attempt to prevent the in auguration of any man fairly elected to the Pre sidency. On the contrary, they will rally to his support, and maintain him until he commits an overt act of treason to the laws. But is it not the perfof true statesmanship for the leaders of the Re.. pablioan party to contemplate the condition of the Southern mind, irritated and exalted as it is, and discountenance the bitter and acrimonious temper of too many of their organs and their orators. The result of the Maine election will, of oourse, furnish a text for copious comment to the Southern fire• eaters, and in proportion as they exult the true friends of the Republic in the slave States will despond, and such men as Alexander R. Ste phens of Georgia, John Forsyth of Alabama, George W. Jones of Tennessee, and Governor WiokJiffe of Louisiana, will be shorn of their In fluence for good. Ido not apprehend that the ef• forts of the friends of Breokinridge in the South to destroy the Republic in the event of the election of Lincoln will ho suoctessful. I repeat that I have every °enflame in the strength and perpe; tuity at the Union. I. know, too, that the North era people are not only devoted to the Confederacy, but that they laugh at every menace of the extreme men of the South against it ; and wherever these menaces are spoken, dare these men to fulfil their threats. All this is natural enough. But he is not a Wile man who, as ho listens to the orimination and recrimination en the part of the Disunionista on the one side, and the ultra Repub licans 'on the other, does not from this review extraot food for thought and for conservative and common-sense action. Both of these emotions must understand that there is in the masses of all parties a supreme affeetion for the Union, but whin the friends of the Union in the South aye forced to believe that the South hes no influential friends in the North, end when the friends of the Union in the North are driven upon the Idea that all the Booth is against the North, who shall say whore this state of things will lead and land us? OCCAMIONAL. Letter from "kappa."" ((7orreepondenoe of Tho P/Obil.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Sopteraber 12, 1860 A greatwrong has been committed against thou. sands of poor men, women, and girls, by the ex tension of Howe's sewing-maohine patent for ano ther seven years. The grounds on which the application was 'made, as produced in the argu ment of hie counsel, were, that the half million of dollars acquired by the inventor as profits Was not a tnrilelent remuneration for the actual advantage derived from the use of the invention. After having heard the arguments, the Commissioner of Patents reserved his decision until Saturday last, when ho granted the application, and extended the patent for seven years. In making his decision, he expressed the opinion that the profits which had accrued to the inventor ($500,000) were not snob as the value of the invention entitled him to; i e., that he must make $1,000,000 more, at the expense of poor sewing women. Proposals for tho construction of the Pacific telegraph were yesterday morning opened in the office of the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, when bids were found from the following parties : Hiram Sibley, Rochester, N. Y. ; Theodore Adams, Harrisburg, Pa. ; Orville Clark, Sandy Hill, N. Y. ; John a H. Harmon, Detroit, Minh. ; and B F. Ploitlln, St. Joseph, Mo. At the last meeting of the Jackson (Breekin ridge) Democratic Association, the obairman an nounced that the Hon. Mr. 'Yancey was expeoted to arrive in the city about the 20th of the present month, on his proposed tour to the North. On motion of Mr. Rimer, a oommitteoof Ave was ap• pointed to wait upon that gentlemen, and request him to address the association, and the citizens or Washington, from 001110 convenient locality, to be hereafter designated. Ae Mr. Yanosy is an nounced to arrive at Annapolis on the 20th, he will probably be here about the 19th. You may have the plosions of hearing him in Philadelphia.

RUMORS OF FUSION IN NEW YORK: WI/AT RAS NOT SEEN DONE: WHAT MAY BE DONE—THE FEDERAL OFFICERS—CENTRAL RAILROAD BUSINESS— GREAT INCREASE OF EXPORTS—gIIE MANIA POI! " PUTTING UP HANDS"—IIORE SWANS PROD EUROPE—NR. FORREST. (Correspondenee or The Preee,l NEW Yomc, September 12, 1860 The friends of Judge Douglas in Pennsylvania need have no fear that the Demooratie State Cen tral Committee of Now York will take any stove with the Breekinridge State Committee, in rec . velum to fusion, that will compromise the Douglas .Demooraoy elsewhere. With the Breokinridgers, as an organization, they will hare no negotiations : Ist because the Green State Committee do not en joy the confidence of the influential men of their own faction; 2d, because the Federal officeholders will not give them money or support, and 3d, be cause the party is almost unanimously together in support of the regular nominees. It it; more than probable that the State Committee, with a view to secure unbroken unity, may recommend the substitution of five or six first-class national soon (who have heretofore supported Mr. Breckin ridge, but have refused to act with his State com mittee) in place of the same number who are now on the ticket. Such an arrangement is quite likely to be consummated, but it will be made up from gentlemen an this part of the State, and en tirely independent of Green, Dickinson, d Co. It is well understood that Butterworth, Soholl, Cisco, and Dix, have done with that crowd. The New York Central Railroad Company's re. (saints for August have been officially made up and declared. The aggregate is nearly $690,000, which is nearly $lOO,OOO in excess of the receipts of the corresponding month last year. It may be assumed with entire safety that a company whose business is increasing at the rate of nearly a million per annum, is on the high road to prosperity. Our export trade continues to be very heavy. Last week the total reached $2.173380, making an aggregate of $62 830,375 slime January I—an in °realm of $23,000.000 over the exports of the cor responding period in 1859 The amount of bread stuffs sent abroad was $788,839. The general ag gregato is swelled by the large movement in mis cellaneous articles, of which the South American and Asiatic countries are taking large quantities. Sinee the sailing of the allied fleets to the coast of Northern China our exports of domestic goods have greatly fallen off The news from Europe is oalou fated to moderate the export of breadstuffs, and to *hook the speculative movement in our food mar ket—two things which are quite desirable at pre sent.
