THE MAMiFACTUUINQ I'lDLIC OMfllON.
The Philadelphia "Bulletin" contains an
amusing description of a meeting got nn in
that city on Monday night, for the. purpose of
endorsing the Lecompton Convention. Tho
meoting was composed almost wholly of offi
cers and dependents, from the Custom House
1 ost Office, Navy Yard, Mint and office bun-
tars and expectants. Judge Lewis, late
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presidod
and attemprod to explain tho question of sov
ereignty iu order to help out the President
and his friends of the Lecompton Constitu
tion. But in doing this he comes in conflict
witb the doctrines of Ike Cincinnati platform,
the "Squatter Sovereignty" of (Jen. Cuss,
and in conflict witb the resolutions adopted
at the meeting which be presided.
What folly to attempt to bolster up a fraud
on the rights of a free people 1 No free, inde
pendent and untrummellod domocrnt, can, for
a moment, sustain a constitution so utterly at
variance witb all the principles of our repub
lican institutions. I lie free democracy are
almost unanimously opposed to tho Lecotnp-
tou fraud. Tho right of suffrage under it is
a mere farce. They say you can vote for
Slavery or against Slavery, provided you vole
for the other articles of tho Constitution as
they Lave mado it. It would have been equal
ly as fair to Lave said to a democrat at the
late election, "You can voto for Gen. Packer
for Governor, provided you will vote the Re
publican tickot for the other offices, and if
vou wont do that, jou cant vote at all."
This is precisely the choice given by tho Le
compton Constitution.
The Bulletin referring to Judge Lewis' po
sition suys :
"Judge Lewis tukes precisely the ground
taken bv the Republicans in the last cam
paign in declaring that Congress has control
over the Territories. His remarks are in
total variatoa from those of every other spen-
ker at the meeting, as well as from the resolu
tions adopted, with exception of one, which
which wasevideully put in to reconcile the
ex-Chief Justice to the placo of President of
the meeting. 1 Ins resolution distinctly de
clares that " in tlio Trritories of the United
Stales, which belong alike to tho people of
every btato and Secliou oi the v nion, tlie sov
ereign power, so fur as delegated at all, is
vested in Congress.
t2IIox. Ciiari.es R. Bltralew. We
are pleased to Uarn from the Columbia Don
ocrat, that our worthy Senator elect, Hon.
C. R. Buckalew, who has been indisposed
for three weeks, hopes to be able to take his
seat on the opening of the sessiou of the
legislature. As the session promises to be
an important one, we should regret even the
temporary absence of Mr. Buckalew.
But what does tho editor of the Democrat
mean by the following dubious compliment
to our Senator ?
"It is generally conceded that bis presence
in the Senatothe coining session is not. only
necessary and important, but thut his absence
would create an irreparable iltft'icrutum.
We can well understand how his presence
would be important, but bow, at the sanio
time, his abseucc would be desirablo, is what
we cannot comprehend. The effects of tbo
toasts drank at the opening of the M'Cauley's

A Molasses brEcti.ATOix. We noticed

THOMAS ALLIBOE.
Tbe following is on extract of a letter from
Mr. Allibooe, to his brother, in relation to
the Pennsylvania liai.k :
You know that I could have raised, with
out any security, between a largo list of able
and willing friends, any amount of money ;
and that I bad uo occasion even lo sell my
properly, which was but little encumbered,
and wbicb would have brought a largo sum of
money- Now, I have walked in and out of
that Bank, amongr Stockholders, Directors
aud Clerks, wilh an erect head end the feel
ing of a freeman. I have wulked in aud out
ol tbo bouses of my fi ieuds, and in the streets
of my native city, with en erect ilep and no
thought ol this deed, l liuve moved in and
ubout my house with my family and with uiy
children, wiiboat druumiug that such things
could bi bad ugaiust me, as 1 knew of no
such things. Could 1 huve taken my children
and caressed them, as you know I full to
wards them, if 1 bud dreamed that their fa
ther had been a tlii.f: and thai withnut a mo
tive : for I could huve reuhzi-d enough money
to pay any demands or obligations. And
would I not rather have lived iu the humblest
way, with a crust and a tree conscience, thau
to have hud more wealth than tlie-o ceutle-
mcn could estimate, and bo a felon ? The
thing is preposterous ! My habits und my life
from my youth up, testify against it, and
when 1 could bavo obtained, by selling my
estate, moro thun 1 could need, as 1 always
have fully belinved 1 Wrould any ono 'embez
zle' for tho love of it ? Had 1 no pride in a
reputation which I have always considered
as beyond price ? You can iu your own mind,
ruu over enough abto names who would, at
the least bint from me. have united aud pla
ced me, for tbe sake of my family, if not for
ny own, beyond such a temptation. Tbe
stories about my having speculated in Read
ing Jiaiireau siock, and in sugar, and in cot
ton, aud lost large sums in thut way, must be
known to be totully false. It is known bow
many friends whom 1 love huve invested
largely iu tho stock of the llauk. Would I,

without a biut to them, have not only sunk

it refutes itself.
"When in Paris, and very ill, I received a
letter from tbe acting President of the Bank.
1 answered truly and promptly, and I said if
in any particular mutter they needed informa
tion, or if in any matter they considered I
needed a defence, to advise me, and 1 would
promptly inform them. Without waiting for
aiy reply, (and their letter contained no cbor
gos or bints of wroug doing against me,) they
have published that I bud ubscouded. 1 was
very ill both at Paris and Lyons, aud nstbing
should prevent my instant return tvere it pos
sible. My physician, aguiust my earnest pro
testations, forbids it. Of bis own tnoliou be
sends you a certificate. Those who are
urouud nie prohibit it, and I can ouly ask, as
an act of justice, that charges shall be
furnished rue ; and that the charge aud
tho defence may, at least, b given to tbe
world together. Had I my way, I would
have started upon getting your letter, if 1 bad
died by tho way. So many kaow me at bona
that 1 thiuk it is not asking too much for one
who has endeavored to do big duty to big fel

The orrest of Wolker, in Nicaragua, by
Commodore Panlding, of tbe Pacifllc squad
ron has been tho promiuont topic of discussion
to day and it wag reported on good authority
this rooming that the government was dis
pleased wi!U tbe act, inasmuch as the instruc
tions issued t (.'ommodore Paulding did not
after they had landttl. Dig duty wus to pre
vent their landing.
The Commodore's reason for arresting the
invaders was that they bad "broken tbe neu
trality laws j" but tho position is one of bin
own assuming, and tho federal authorities, it
is alleged, will bold him responsible for it.
Tho friends of Walker nro loud in their as
sertions 'hat his arrest was illegal that tho
U. S. authorities will be called upon for
whatever damages be and bis comrades may
bava sustained. It is understood thut the
British Minister here is largely implicated in
the measures that brought about bis arrest.

THE NEW-YORK TRIBUNE.
1837-B.
rpUE TRIBUNE was first issued as a Daily
X on the lOih of April, IMl. lis weekly
edition wgs commenced in SeptemWr of tha
same year; its Semi-Weekly in May, 1845. It
was the first daily in America it issus a double
r eight-page sheet at a low price, and it has at
least even with the foremo't of its rivals in the
rapid expansion of Newspaper enterprise, which
the great exlention al Ruilroads, and the estab
lishment ef the Telegraph system have crowded
into these last sixteen aveutfut years. Ne Ur
ge r journal is ell'orded at low e price in any
quarter of the world; none in America, no mai
ler at what price issued, pavs an equal aaaoanl,
weekly or monthly, for intellectual Ubor. It
employes correspondents regularly in the lead
ing capitals of Europe, and at the oiMl impor
tout point on this continent, wiitt a liberal aiarT
of writeis aud tepo'ters al home, regarding full
early and accurate Inferrr.stioa is the first .
ject of a NewKpoper, mid the timrly nn throu
elucidation thereof as the chief mil of its Kilil
rials. In that spirit, THE TRIBUNE bus b
and will be cond octet, extending and perfe
ing itk comtiirai'ttr so fntt as the inrri
of its patronage will justify the expense. 8ksi

New World y the magnetic wire prove succCi '

rope. With a good ttlns beside him and h
daily paper en his fireside table, the Amerirt
farmer or artisan within a day's ride of the ci
may then study evening the doings rs the citi
zed world throughout tlie day preceding; and
seems hardly possible that any wh can read, h
specially one who has children to educntc, wi
longer deny himself the pleasure aud profit
a daily journal. The same is true measurah
of those who live further inland ; theugh, win
mails are infrequent, a Semi-Weekly, or even
Wedklv paper, may seem sufficient.
THE TRIBUNE deals with queBt.0Bf Y
lilical Economy, Public Policy. Ethics, Miiori.
progress, and whatever may affect the intellcstt
al, Moral, Social and Physical well being ,
mankind, dogmatic Theology alone accepted.
Its lending idea is the honsring of honest, usef
Work in whatever sphero or capacity, and t'
consequent elevation ef the Laboring Clsrs i
knowledge, virtue and general esteem. It is n
bessarily hoslilo to Slavery under all its aspeel
to Intemperance in whatever form er dsgr
wilh its airessoriee, to War save in the defei'-c

favors the policy of attaining and diversifyin
Home Industry by a discriminating TerifT
policy which tends toincreaso the price of Crsii
