Quite as good temperance men as either he or any of his ostensible sup porters, wiiadhere to the regularly nom inated Republkum ticket, !manse they see in its success the only hope for the defeat of a pant, widelrnever yet gave, either directly or, indirectly, any shadow of countenance to temperance opinions, or enacted, when in power, the first syllable of effectik • temperance * legislation. No Democrat will vote for him, except.it be for the avowed purpose, not of aiding the tempersnce cause, but of breaking down in some manner our Re publican ascendancy. Every vote that he gets will be drawn from the Reimbli can party, and there'd Democratic hope is in the prospect of such a asetalsm In ottr ranks, as .may amble them to slip, in a 'third candidate Who, once in offitx, would do his DemocraticleVel bestto Inaugurate a jubilee of whisky.

But it is simply absurd to suppose that -Kr. Dics- ET or Mr. BosTwics, or any other Com. missioner, can do any more than_ to ad , minister faithfully the law as he finds it. And when it comes to that, we prefer - to support the regular nominee of our Re publican friends. If yesterday's Convention had takes the wiser course, and inaugurated a judi dons agitation for the, amendment of an "inefficient" or, harmful law, it would have been a pleasure to us to pledge to theme our hearty - co-operaron in their work. Since they have taken hold of this business by the wrong end, propos ing either to amend or nullify existing laws in the Commissioners' room, we must decline any part with them. Let us wait and see what the Democracy will do for them! t A TRIPLE ALLIARLE. We alluded yesterday to the remarka ble declarations of the New York Dentoc racy, in whibh our claims upon England, growing out of thedepredations of Anglo rebel privateers, like the Alabama and her consorts, upon• Amiticlin commerce, were held to be of less national _impor tance than the protection of our , Irish- American Fenians from such penalties as they, incur in the violation of English laws. We now have the text of the res olution, which was adopted at a large and enthusiastic meeting of the Tammany Democracy, on Monday night, as fol lows: - Resolved, That thia question of British rejection of the claims of Irish-American citizens presents an international ques tion between this country - and Britain superior to those,arlsing out of the con filet between the two countries on the belligerent rights, of the North and South, commonly called the Alabama There is no mistake las to the purport of this resolutiou: = Its)animus abundant ly eustains the criticisms which we bised upon the telegraphic report. Let us all be thankful for the franknesswhich thus tardily avows the sincere Democratic judgment upon the policy of England to ward this Union during its four critical years of domestic war. It is not in the Democratic breast to quarrel with an Anglo-rebel alliance which was aimed at a purely Democratic object—the destruction of a Republican Union. It was in effect a triple Alliance for that end, comprehending ournorthern Democracy, the English aristocracy and the southern rebels. Each. party to the league accomplished as much as lay in its way, and according to its proper ability and audacity. Our northern Copperhead. ism, which adopted Vallandightun as its representative type, which welcomed him with profuse kospitalities at- Mauch Chunk, and - which - endorsed his treason with the , approval of its Convention at Harrisburg, did all its leaders dared to do 'Within our own loyal lines, to paralyze the efforts of a free people fighting to the death for the abso lute freidtilivof the Republic. England and France manifested an, equal hate for , , that Republic by the effective exhibition of their iebel sympathies in every con. cell/able mode shott of-an-open participa tion in thehliostilitieti. 'Of =course,' the rebels, as the third' party to -this league, were able to offer to us an armed opposi tion, which old not have/ survived a single twelve:month except with the moral and snb.stantiat sppport of Aye two other parties. ' The war is ended, bit our = Democracy I are not going back on their friends. Their. cordial inderstanding remains un- impaired, with all that is left of - the Southern rebellion. And their only com plaint against England is because the latter has seen fit to imprison or hang a handful of American Democrats whose incautious sympathies for an Irish rebel- lion have drawn them within the reach of her power. Oar Democracy feel no con cern, whatever, for the hundreds of millions of dollars bf American commerce either destroyed or banished from the seas by English connivance with rebel piracy. They sneer at the sug gestion or any national reclaraations for the-many 'thousands of patriot lives which were sacrificed to counteract English sympathies for our traitors. One 'Fenian imprisoned or hung for his gullt, as a pirate against English law, is,worth more to the Democratic -. Valuation than all the Amer , ican,bloorVihst,7nt poured out on the deelis - d 'kearilige . , or on a hun dred' Southern fiats.= That is the Democratie doctrine for fo.day t and it is entirely consistent With all the Democ racy of the past tine years. • Of course, Mr. Asa—Pecs= and his friends •in Pennsy/vanla adhere to this reading of the' Democratic toots. When he, hobnobbed with Yallandigharn, in 1862, at his elegant ,residence ; in pinch dbuni, there can be no. doubt that . this excellent pair of. Democrats fahcitated each other upon the flattering prospect of a rebellion successful by the aid of British sympathies. It is not to be expected that either,of them could now support, with any cordiality, the reclamatione of the Republic for the damages in which those sympathies culminated. Mr. Packer is too good a Democrat not to eusloqie ,thri doctylne,:of. the Tammany resolution. He stands therefore,, before the' people of kimpeylesstia, iledged akiainatUke- 4i:dominant of tha'Alahama c101a44,40: least until all thelsoiordai matters are ,chsposed of. - • very nice ground for the Itlititc*i lib candidate to stand upon ; • especiall' y when we consider that the Fenian rikt ter is only a pemocratic dodge forithe purpose of giving an easy go-by to the Alabama claims altogether I ' MR, , PACKER AND THE NEW YORK COMPANIER. The individuals and corporations en gaged in mining and transporting coal in the anthracite counties of this Common wealth, are divisible into two claase' s•-• those belonging to New York, andthose' belonging to' Pentsylvania: It; may further be said that in fields oci4opied ia 7 mainly by New York operators' railnl way and canal companies carry o their: own coal, mined on their own ds or i i p obtained by purchase, while in th. fi ids held mostly by Pennsylvania o re. the transportation elampanies are sr, x elusively, leaving the mining of , d . trafficing therein tO private indi id als and firms. There ire exceptions to is statement, but on the whole it embodies a substantially accurate -description of the case. Of course, the New York 'compa nies are in this - State under the senction of oar Olen laws; for they couldbe here in no other way. Erinctloa was obtained by buying up old chartrs, whisili were lying dormant; to which legal objections cannot be raised, though the charters thus obtained, contain provhdons" which ought never to have been granted, and would now be deemed altogether baud mhunble, as will be made to appear be low. These provisions operate injurious ly to the great-body of our own citizens who are embarked in anthracite coal ope rations and , to the Commonwealth itself; as a government. In the first place, consider tlie evils in flicted upon our own citizens, letting. Lu zenrie county furnish the facts upon which judgment may be based. Here are iev eral powerful New' York corporations, owning cantata and railroads, with the rights to own coal lands, and to mine and traffic in coal. Organized under charters granted many years ago, before it was understood at how low charges freights could actually be moved by the means proposed, they are authorized 'to exact such rates , per ton as serve to exclude all business but their own from their respec tive lines; and this they do, with inflexi bility and certainty. What follows? Why, this: that these foreign corporations are practically 'ena bled to Bathe price of coal in that county to suit themselves. As they will not carry it to market for individual operators except at ruinous charges, those operators must sell the product of their mines to the companies at such rates as they are pleased to pay, or quit the busineas. Fixing the rates at barely sufficient to discharge the cost of mining and to yield a small margin of profit to the individual owners, the companies take the coal and realize large gains beyond fair charges as common carriers. The result is inevita ble; the companies abound in wealth, but the individual operators are kept compar atively poor. 'Many of them have been hopelessly bankrupted. But this is net all. The power of these companies to carry no coal to market but their own, involves the power, perhaps not exelnalvely; but in a large degree, to fix the price of coal lands. Pieces there are, and must beat which these corps:lm i tions *come , into competition with each other as buyer s .. of coal tracts, and competition necessarily sends up pri not simply at those points but general throughout the country; so that the ell hancenent, hiking a period of twenty years, has big* very considerable; tin*- . thelesa, these Wads are still held greatly below thelrintrinsic value, and must ever be;rintil either 'the existing companies shall be redueed,'as was the original de tain, to the position of common carriers, or new companies shall be created which shall be such aid nothing more. The evils resulting to the Common wealth are naturally suggested by what has already been said. These foreign corporations having in their own bands the merchandising of the coal they han dle, make the lion's share of the profits. These profits accrue out of the State, and remain there. They do not come back into the pockets of our own people, but are-divided among the stockholders of these - Corporationa resident in other States. Whoever, will compare' the income re- turns made to federal assessors ever since the internal, revenue system existed, in coulee' Of Luzerne and . l3chnylkill re- sjeotivelY,catinot ,fail ,ot - :being _deeply impresiettwith the scrape antrimportance of what we are• here urging. The only large incomes returned is Luzerne have been in those parts of Luzern° where the New York companies 'are not, while in Schuylkill the large incomes have been altogether • beyond precedent else where in numbers and amounts. It makes differences to the State whether the - wealth realized from the coal dug out oflts bowels is returned to it or deitribri ted'to people living outside its borders. Wealth thus derived, and brought back into the State, is liable to taxation here and so helps to defray the common bur den. It Is used in various ways to de velop and beautify town and country. In the hands of . liberal-mlnded men it is given to promote religious, moral and educational ends, which are of the high est value to p e,grandeur and dignity of the State , and .of genuine - util it y to . our people, We could point to significantin stances, not a few, illustrating , this state meat, , ;fasf s lir.: Au PACIDO4 tie Dai wattle candidate for Governor, by reason AY, AUGUST ly PUB ‘4,luti done mocksingle-handed for these inter-_ eats among" us, With profits drawn from coal business,' than all the Ne* York Companies put together; and be is by no means the ,most conspicuous example of his class. Moreover, the New York companies have steadily. avoided their fair propor lion of the burdens of taxation. Even under the laws, passed during the last Ile* years to...recitify. , this mischief, which these :vompanies.; have strenuously, re 'elated, and Wlliell„thetuPreme Court has , , iitridired a' point." quite recently, to sus . tale. they axe contributing much less Bum they ought t o: the replenishment of the Rtate Treasury. „' ' In order to a foil aomprehension of the case, another view, must be elucidated. These New Fork companies have shOrter' linea bet*dentheir, mines and the city,of• New York than those held -by the compa nlea belonging strictly in'. Pennifylvania. Coal. sent over the latter lines has to make a wide'. detour, and hence can be laid doin on the dock or on ship-board at the North River only at a materisily larger 'outlay Iliad' coal sent over the fOrmer lines. ~It. would .be . abeird to attriiinte this. geographical - advantage as a fault , , to the New York companies , hut. the manner in which they.hitve:uniformly pressed this advantage is another matter, and must "be taken into the account. Their policy fox three years past haa been to depress the price of coal so greatly, as to break up the Pennsylvania operators; rates which would aford them some pro fit entailing a ruinous loss upon their competitors. If the upshot of this pol icy was to furnish coal at uniformly low rates, consumers abroad might well be satisfied, 'but, whatever professions in that regard may be put forward, the fact is not so, but far otherwise. A. breaking up of the Pennsylvania operators for a single year would necessarily send coal up to high figures; and these excessive rates would indemnify the companies abundantly for three or four years of low prices. Whoever has had occasion to watch the coal trade closely throtigh a series of years comprehends the accuracy and force of this delineation. The anthracite coal interest of Penn sylvania is a very large one, and the gen eral welfare of our people is closely iden tified with it; much more 'closely than will appear to superficial observation. This interest is brought prominently un der consideration this year, not only by events which are transpiring in the counties which - it occupies, but' likewise by the nomination of Mr. Asa PACKER as the Democratic candidate for Gover nor. Ile has been long a resident of the anthracite region; has made an immense fortune in the appreciation of coal lands and in enterprises connected therewith; and , ; is still ' deeply concerned in the coal trade. He ' is identified, not in all respects, though in many ways, with the New York companies, op. crating chiefly in Luzerne county. He is the principal stock-holder in one railway line; running out of Luzerne, by way of Carbon and Northampton counties, to New York. We shall nc,t attempt to conceal that this enterprise is a valuable one, and that it affords facilities to his own county as well as Luzeme. The point raised is apart from ,this. -1. In the strangle going on in the anthracite re gion his Interests are identified with the New York companies; and where a man's interests are, there he will be found, in whatever, position of public influence he may be placed. , If this struggle did not exist, or if it ' `was to tie brought to ' a close during the current season, there would -be no sense in starting this objectionito the election of Mr. PAO= as Governor. But this struggle is destined to last for some years at least. It will' find its way into the Legislature, in divers forms, and into the Executive Chamber. It is, consequently, ' in the special interests of a large Propor tion of the population of the State, and in thegeneral interests of the Treasury of the COmmonwealth, that Mr. PACKER be not elected to the Governorship. Whatever may be said of his honesty— and we are ready to admit all that may be urged in his behalf—he is liable, the same 'as other people, to be swayed un consciously by his own private concerns and by his identification with certain prominent enterprises:hen consider ations furnish abundant r aeons why he should = not have been tinted, and why, being .nominated, h Should not be chosen. • f' ' Doubtlesi, the companies whose inter eats. are analogous to his wn, will to 4. defhim'an active support„ but it is just as clear that all the corporaddits Whom interests run the other way, will be against him. This Is a form of conflict which is not wholesome, but unavoidable under such cirentitstancea as those that now ex ist. Mr. PACKER and his supporters are answerable for it, and they alone. We entertain not the slightest doubt but the people of ,Pennsylvania will settle it, not to please Now York or its citizens, but to snit themselves and promote their own welfare. , , I .

The Cuban revolutionary emissaries to this ctiuntry are according to their own statements, in hope that the United States will some time, and at no very distant day, give _them substantial assistance. Mr. Lanus, a few days ago expressed the opinion that he expected to have some important information after the presenta tion of Minister Sickles to the authorities at-Madrid. The supposition that bellig: erent rights will be conceded them is not generally,eredited, and thej purbhase position of the island appears to rest on no better foundation than rumor. The statement telegraphed from Mere that several prominent Congressmen in-- tended tended to bring forward bills at the next session of Congress to deduct the income tax from foreign holders of our bonds when coupons are presented for pay ment at the Treasury, is regarded as a - stock jobbing canard, designed to "bear" the market for Government securities, by causing distrust in Europe among bond holders; who are expected to send them back. in large quantities for sale here. Neither bonds nor Coupons can be taxed in this way, and the statement is as fool ish as it hl unjust. The excitement which has existed here on the Dent Mississippi question for some days has entirely subsided, and all par ties_ have settled down with ,the convic tion that while the President will not take sides in the contest his sympathies . are with his brother-in-law v and that Judge Dent will be elected• Governor of Missis sippi by s large majority. A private let ter written by . General Sherman discloses the fact that the • General sympathizes with the Conservative ll4oublicans of Mississippi, which at the same. tinl9 de clares that the only effort / of himself and his officers will be to preserve the peace and insures fair election without• taking sides with either party. The Contemptuous tone of the reply of Judge Gilmer, of: Virginia, to the over tures of Judge Jenkins, chairmanof the Radical Republican pa rty of that State, for a reconciliation of the difference be tween the two wings of theparty, attracts extensive commentin political circles: It is well known that the President earnest. endorsed the proposition made by Jenkins, -which, however, did not origi nate with the Wells men, but was in vited by the supporters of Governor-elect Walker. It is, therefore, evident that the Walker men succeeded in deceiving Jenkins by making hid believe that they would accept his overttties, when in fact they did not intend to do anything ofthe kind. It is not improbable that the fu tura course of the Administration *ill ef fect a complete transfer of the power of the two factions, when it maybe ex pected that Gilmer - and- his friends will be compelled to make overtures to Jenkins'.

In order to have a breath of "fresh country air," so highly recommended as beneficial to the health of mankind in general, and citizens of Pittsburgh in particular, your correspondent . left the city at two o'clock P. N. on Saturday of last week, and arrived in this quiet but pleasant town about latlf-past eight o'clock the ;tune evening. — We found the country-between this point and , the city delightful, of bourse, as it is in all see ; %lons at this season of the year, and our trio here, notwithstanding we were un der the necessity of travating some three miles by "walker's line, " a mode of lo ("emotion to which we have "constitu tional objections," was quite a pleas ant one. On arriving at McDonald Station,. at which point the Wash ington stage connects — with the Steubenville accommodation traln,• on the Paihandle Railroad, we found over thirty persons ticketed for Canons burgh and Washington, and transportation burgh and half that number. We seemed a seat on a Saratoga trunk, on the top of a Concord stage, originally constructed for the aooommodation of nine pastmgers, but in and upon which were twenty-fbur, twelve of the number being ladies. Not withstanding the extremely "high posi tion" we occupied among our fellow voyagers, we had not traveled far until we felt constrained to •leave them, and takonassage on "walker's line," in con sequence of our utter inability to main tain so "high" a station. • Mr. 13--, - of Pittsburgh, and Mr. Iffeß---, of lowa, formerly' of this place, who Warded seats on the same deck, abandoned them for the same reason, and in company we started for Washington on foot. After proceeding about three miles, we were overtaken • by Mr. R—, of this place,with a carriage to which there were five persons, who kindly offered your cor respondent a seat, which was readily and most gratefully aocepted. 1i - • THE CROPS. Crops of every description are said to be excellent. The wheat, of which there was a very heavy crop, notwithstanding the unfavorable weather, has been all harvested and housed without receiving any injury, and the oats crop, which is an exceedingly heavy ene, is now being harvested. The corn generally looks well and promises a heavy crop. - The potatoe crop is unusually heavy. and is already having its effect upon the mar ket, as we see fine new potatoes selling here at 60 cents per .bushel. There will be an abundance of apples and other fruits throughout the country. THE comstssozdasarr. The Commencement exercises .at .

The address was -delivered in the/ First Presbyterian Church, (Rev. Dr. Brown, pastor,) which, although a very cape- Glow balding, was crowded to its ut most capacity. The address was an able and. highly interesting one. The Commencement proper takes place on Thursday and will doubtlees be large-. ly attended. There are already a great many of the ahunni of the two colleges in the town and many more are expected to arrive. The citizens are taking a great interest in the affairs of the College, and are laboring for itsadvancement. At 2a, to-day, the re union of the class of 1844 takes plum, and at •I P.

Minds of many cattle leading "mar , of. thotatul IS Is emtended lbstillittoutnelttles MEM pointed to investigate the matter,-w*. report was published in the GAZETTE, have largely exceeded the duties of their appointment in one respect. and failed in others. The committee, .ac cording to the statement of the dissatis fied portion of the community, were ap pointed to investigt•te the charges of fraud made against Mr. Bu ten, - and report the result of that investigation to their respective County Committees. A meeting of the County Executive . Committee of this county was held Saturday, at wash the action of the Special Committee was en dorsed and the testimony taken before 'them ordered to be published. For Isom° reason the testimony has not vet I been furnished for publication, and it,is this fact alone that is complained of. The people, it is contended, should see the testimony and judge for themselves as to the correctness of the charges. The Reporter, in accordance with its promise at the commencement of the imbroglio, has hoisted Mr. Rutan's name and will support him. The affair is a most unfor tunate one for this county, as the vote is so close that it requires but a slight dis affection in the Republican pgty to ena ble the Democracy to carry it. R. Dusky Gathering. Mayor Drum's office was crowded with a dusky gathering last evening. The cause of the unusual rallying of the col ored folks, originated at the select plc- . nic, held the day previous in Pleasant val ley Grove, at which Mary Ann Price and Elizabeth Anderson bad a pngulistic dis- mission, in reference to the delinquen cies of Mr. Anderson, who Wit' said is fonctof female society, particularly that of Mary Ann.
