This hardly makes an exception to the rule that “As goes Pennsylvania, so goes “ the Union.” She went for “Polk, Dallas, and, the Tariff of ’42” in '44, and was rewarded for it by the passage of the Tariff of '46 by the party she thus elevated to power —Polk recom- I mending and signing, and Dallas giving his casting vote in the Senate to pass the bill. He now luxuriates therefore in the best office the country has to give, while Pennsylvania is to day poorer by Hundreds of Millions in property, and Malf a Million of Population, because of that fatal vote. She will probably lose two.if Babers of Congress by the new she might have held her own, if d that vote been reversed, and j 12 thus been allowed to stand, | er immense mineral resources,! t and healthful development.— 1 necessity for Protection tci Iron would by- this time have passed__away, through the gradual perfection and cheapening of our Iron-making processes under the stimulus of a secure and expanding market, had the Tariff of '42 but stood unchanged to this day. Pennsylvaniafe slow, but she feels and re members; She was only carried for Buchanan by concerted and gigantic frauds at her prece ding /State. Election—by trunks-full of forged Naturalization Certificates distributed along her Canals and Railroads, at the same time that her most conspicuous and noisy Know-Nothings were the bought and supple servitors of her Democratic Managers. Mo.ney taken indirectly j from the Federal Treasury paid for these tune ful. patriots, whose loud vociferations that “the “ American ■ party shpuld not be sold out,” thinly covered the sale they had already made of it to the head-brokets of Buchanan De mocracy. I i This game was tried again in ’5B, but it never does the second time. Thousands of dollars— as, were-testified, most reluctantly, before the Covode and other Investigating Committees last Winter—were spent by the Democratic wire workers in getting up and running “Straight American” tickets in Philadelphia and its vi cinity, which did not receive one vote for every ten dollars they invested. Mr, Jacob Broom— who had been an “American” Member of the XXXIVth Congress, and been beaten en the Fusion ticket in ’56, now ran as a “Straight “ American” in one of the Philadelphia Dis tricts, and received about one vote in every sixty or seventy cast. He is now going his length (ostensibly) for Bell and Everett. In spite of all the distraction that could be made or bought, the united Opposition or “Peo “ pie’s party” carried Pennsylvania by over Twenty-five Thousand majority, and carried it again last-year on aj diminished- vote—there being neither Governor nor Members of Con gress to choose—by" Seventeen Thousand.— Never before was Pennsylvania carried two years in succession against that which calls itself Democracy. And the “People’s party,” thus solidly triumphant, was invited by nanle to send Delegates to the Chicago Convention, and they were not only sent bat heeded. They did not obtain their first choice, but their second was conceded without hesitation. They named Abraham Lincoln as; a man for whom their State would vote; and their' choice did much to seorfre his nomination. And their constitu ents have heartily ratified their selection; If it were possible to concentrate the votes of the Breckinridge and Douglas factions on one Electoral Ticket, and I then add the five or six thousand votes of those who protend to be sup porting Bell, they might still make a respeota- ■ ble contest. But the Douglas men have re- ! solved that they will yotefor none other t(ian o clean Douglas ticket, which the Breckinridge men will minors support than they would one pledged totemte for John Brown’s ghost. They are sustain the Electoral Ticker set tled last Mareh—knowing that it is mainly for their man—rb«|t,this the Douglas men wilt not touch. The upshot will be that the tailors who have trustedthe Bell fuglemen in Philadelphia with new suits bn the strength of the sale of their stock and influence noxtjOctober, will have to wait for theirpay St least a year longer.— Prom the New York Tribune. PENNSYLVANIA. There can be-bo transactions this Fall, unless at ruinous]; low prices. If the Election were to take place nest week, nobod; doubts that Lincoln Penn sylvania by from Fifty to One Hundred Thou sand majority, and time isqaiteaa likely to in crease as reduce it. The,October State Election will prove little, as Foster for Governor is like ly to receive the votes of Breckinridge, Douglas, and Bell men together. He keeps mum as be tween Breckinridge and Douglas, though his sympathies are understood to be with the lat ter; and the Bell-ringers must go for him in order to prove that, like Sir Boyle Roche, they, have still “a country to sell.”' If Curtin car ries the State for Governor, who will want to buy them ? Wo anticipate, therefore, a heavy vote for Foster, yet not enough to elect him.— The People are for Lincoln; they think of the gallant fight be made for Clay and Protection in '44, when they wore swindled into voting for “Pollj, Dallas, and the Tariff of '42," and they will render him their substantial thanks this Fall. His.majority will be overwhelming. Meantime, we rejoice to hear that the proper -efforts are being made to call out the full Oppo sition vote in October. The State is being thoroughly canvassed; oar friends will have a better organization this Fall than ever before, fin'd will poll over Two Hundred Thousand Votes for Curtin in and at the least Two Hundred and Twenty-five Thousand for Lincoln iu November. The distractions of their triple-headed adversaries will probably give them the State; but they do not rely upon tfaat. Jt will not satisfy them to beat the strongest of the opposing tickets; they mean to beat the aggregate vote oast forlhem all, and we believe they will. THE, CONFESSION OF A DEMO CHAT, A clever correspondent of the Milwaukie i Sentinel writes of an incideht on the Hudson River Railroad in this wise. An old man sat by his side, and, finally addressing him the Milwankiean said: 1 “Sir, you seem to have travelled a great dis tance ?" “Yes, some two thousand fniles.” “Ah, indeed ; what part of the West?” <Towa, Illinois, Wisconsin.” “Then you can express an opinion as to the result' of the Presidential canvass in those states ?” “No I can’t.* I might have done so before I left home, hut I have got back I con fess! don’t know anything about it.” “Don’t you find the sentiment very strong for Lincoln ?” “Yes—sentiment, indeed, rather than sense. The Republicans enlist all the sentiment; they are a sentimental set.’.’ 4 Seeing I was more kmused than surprised, he, continued: “See, here, I’ll tell you. lam sixty years old. I have raised a family of four boys, and raised them all in the orthodox democratic faith. Fif teen years ago my boy John went to Illinois, and voted the democratic ticket regularly.; I did well with John, and helped him stocklhis farm and pay off his mortgage. He. was a smart boy—was John.” Well, sir, when that debate between Douglas and Lincoln was raging in Illinois, John got a crotchet in his head and became a Republican. It was a hard blow for ine, I tell you. Well, Phil, grew up, and I set him up in Des Moines, bought him a quarter section, and told him to get married. - - Phil, did well, but the fii|st thing I heard was that he" was a Republican, and the young seamp tried to-eoovert me by writing long letters about the Kansas muss,. Ac. I talked pretty sharp to both of them, bat they both voted for Fremont in spite of me. But there was Roger and Dan both at home yet, and I felt sure they would never desert the faith of their father. I set Roger up in lowa, alongside of his brother, with a faint hope hojmight reclaim him. And Dan went off to Rock county, Wisconsin ; and a year ago I found out, sir, that Roger was pub-j lishing a Republican paper; and Dan was ma king speeches for a Republican Governor in Wisconsin; It nearly broke my heart, but what could Ido ? The boys said they now saw the error of voting for Buchanan. Well, sir, a few months ago I made up my mind to go West myself, for the first time in my life, and see about things. 1 did go West, and I happened to hear’Douglas make a speech wljile I was away from home. Thu may not believe it, sir, but I’m going home now and I don’t know whether I am a democrat or a Republican m'y self.” i Railroad wit. —Engineer Stone, or as ha is more generally called among his acquaintances, “Old Rock,” who runs on the east end of the Peoria & Oquawka Rillroad, is a natural wag. quick at a repartee and dry as a chip. One day “Rock” met with a lot of the St. Louis, Alton & Chicago Railroad boys at Peoria Junc tion, and they stepped into Sam Emmery’s - for a social glass of ale. Conductor Hedges, of the St. Louis road, as a sort of sentiment ..gave, * Old ' Rock, otherwise Sfone, a perfect brick,” “That’s very good,” exclaimed Stone. Here’s to Old Brush, otherwise Hedges, a perfectstick,” The next that was seen of “Rock” he was pursuing a “two-forty gait towards his engine, Hedges with a stick close on to his rear. This is not quite as good as the repartee of t Niek Dentpn, whilom a division engineer on Hhe Illinois Central, at a festival aeveal yerars ago in De Witt County* A fellow named Jack 8., gave as a sentiment: “The two Nicks— . Old Nick and Nick ’Denton.” The table came down with a clatter Nick rose as grave as a judge. When fhe noise had subsided, he said ■he fully appreciated the' honor conferred upon him in being named in connection with Jack’s most intimate friend 1 He hardly knew how to' requite the kindness, but as one good turn always deserves another, he would give :~“The two Jacks —Jack R., and Jackass.”— Jack R., collapsed and the company 'Went into hysterics.

We have at length th’e*particular provisions os the Japanese treaty which was negotiated by Consul Harris and Commodore Perry, and brought to this country lately, by an unesem pled embassy. It will.be seen that it begins with the usual stipulations of eternal peace and friendship between the United States and Japan. Next it provides for the residence of a diplomatic agent at Yeddo, and of consular agents at other ports, and of similar Japanese officials at Washington and our commercial cities. The ports which are opeh to us are de claired to be Simoda, Ilakodadi, Kanagawa, Nngassaki, Nee-e.gata and Uiogo. 'These con stitute the principal ports of the empire, and will give us a pretty general and easy access to its trade. In all these American citizens may freely reside, lease ground and purchase buildings, on' the condition that noi fortress or military build ing is to be put up, and that the Japanese authorities may at all times inspect their con tents. In Yeddo and Osdca they will be also permitted to reside, but particular quarters will be assigned them, as may be arranged between the'agents of the[ respective governments. The trade is unrestricted except that the import of opium and the export of rice and wheat ate pro hibited. The otjjeot of tills is to prevent the Japs from getting the means, of intoxication, and to keep the home supply of the prime arti cles of sustenance fully equal to the demand* All foreign coin Will be current- as soon as its precise value can be ascertained and adjusted to that of the native coin.
