KrThe attention of Capitalists is cal ec to

To Capitalists.
We invite the attention of Capitalists, to the
large amount of real - Estate offered for sale. in
our columns, among which is Borne of the most
valuable in the county. The large and rapid
ly increasing circulation of the "Lehigh Regis
ter," in this and the adjoining counties of North
ampton, Berke. and Bucks, renders it one of the
best channels through which to advertise Real
Estate, or every other description of property
or merchandize.
One of the greatest secrets in disposing of
Real Estate to the best advantage, or of being
successful in trade, is a judicious and well di
rected system of advertising. The Capitalist
and the Farmer, ,who wishes to invest his mon
ey in the purchase of a farm, opens the paper,
that has the largest circulation, which is his
finger board, and points to the object of which
he is in search. He finds numerous tracts with
valuable buildings and other improvements,
offered for sale, and he most always procures
one to suit himself.
Hundreds of men, look to the cards and ad

Allentown Seminary.
The Principal of this Institution, the Rev. Mr.
C. R. Kessler, has politely furnished us with a
neat little pamphlet, containing a list of the pu
pils, and a short sketch of its establishment.
We are very much pleased with the success
with which our esteemed friend seems to meet.
Although it is but a short time that the Insti
tution has been opened, and consequently but
little known, it has nevertheless a respectable
number of pupils. Young men.pan here be
prepared for admission to college, or, if they
prefer, can procure classical studies, to very
near the same extent as they would at College.
The following branches are taught :
Calligraphy, Grammar, Geography, United
States History, Arithmetic, Algebra, Mensura
tion; Surveying, Geometry, Bookkeeping, Bi
blical History, Universal History, Botany, Nat
ural Philosophy, Physiology, Astronomy, Vocal
Music, German, Latin, and Greek languages.
French, Drawing, and instruction the Piano are
extra branches.
The Seminary was established in the spring
of 1848. It is located in the beautiful borough
of Allentown, the county seat of Lehigh county.
The place is remarkable for its healthiness, the
beauty of the scenery by which it is surround
ed, and for its good location. This is of very
considerable importance, us every one knows
ihat has ever taken the paint.; of observing the
influence which the surrounding scenery ox
en's in the developement of body and mind,
particularly in the lorrnation of the young,. Al
lentown is 52 miles from Philadelphia ; 36 from
Reading, 18 from Easton, and 6 from -Bethle
hem, from each of which the access is easy.
A telegraph to Philadelphia will be completed
this fall, and it is not improbable that a rail
road will in a short time connect it with New
York and Philadelphia.
The school is kept in the house; well known
as "Livingston's Mansion." It is large and
comfortable and is surrounded by one and a
half acres of play-ground, filled with various
kinds of trees.
Northampton County.
At the fall county meeting of the 'Democrat
ic party of Northampton county, it was resolv
ed that the Delegate meetings in the respective
townships, should be held on Saturday , the 15th
of September next, and the County Conven
tion for the purpose or forming a County tick
et, will meet on the following .Tuesday, the
18th of September, at the house of Daniel Rie
gel, in Nazareth. .
New System of . Music.
It is said that a new system of musical nota
tion has been invented by aGerman professor, '
which has created no little sensation among the
Musical profession el Newyork. By the simple
timehood in the world, it sweeps away all the
complexities of the present system, and make
music an A,s C sort of an affair. Several of
the most eminent musicians in New York have

The Two Conventions•
One of Burnburners, the other of Hunkers—
met at Rome N. Y. last week, with a view to
the Union of the Democratic party, in the state
of New York. They held their sessions in dif

—sent messages to each other—and dissolved
without efletaing the object, which had called
them together. John. Van Ritmo was the soul
of the Ilarnburners—Exdlov. I%larcy presided
over the deliberations of the Hunkers. The

a Virginia farmer, has recently succeeded in
covering with a fine growth of natural hair the
heads of several gentlemen of Richmond, some

nine days. Hope he will come this way.

CODIMUNICA.TioN.
The Coopersburg Post Office
Mr. Editor :—I should not have presumed to
trespass so'much on yout generosity, did I not
deem it of essential importance that-the public
should be correctly informed, as to the real cause
of the removal of the Coopersburg Post Office.
But, as I cannot, but believe, that both you, and
your readers, must be heartily sick of the con
troversy, I shall ask your indulgence but once
more, and then yield the old !amens prerogative,
of giving the last word to Justitia.
I have read his last production, and have been
convinced by it, that if be would assume the ha
biliments of the Fish-woman, the peculiar tal
ents requisite to the successful prosecution of
that profession, are amply possessed by him;
nd, if he would commence that business, I have
think.
What Justitia means by saying that I had
gone over the township with a .111" story to
Electioneer, I am at a loss to conjecture—but
presume it is another of the freaks of poetical
madness, to which he is constitutionally pre.dis•
•
posed.
As to my ever calling on Mr.Seider lu lukc the
Election, is an idea itself so ridiculous, as to de
serve no denial. Call on Mr. Seiler to take the
Election! ha! ha! Such stuff will do for men
who believe that a Post Office can be begged
back at Washington, but for men having bruin
it will not answer.
Justitia says "since the attempt at the general
Election, there have been several alluvia made
to remove the township Election,but all with the
same result."
As all these "attempts have been made at the
township Elections in the 'spring, when rands and
weather usually forbid n general attendance, the
boasted results' were all owing to the same cause
—a meagre number, of votes given. At the last
"attempt" the majority was 6, and that under cir
cumstances that made the "attempt" a perfect
farce. 'Fbey had 7 more ballots in the box, than
\they had names , written doWn, and 6 more than
they had crossed on the Duplicate ! One staunch
friend of their cause,:whose conscience has on
niore.than one occasion given evidence of efasti
' eity, actually fired a double shot ! And this is an
evidence that the "attempts" resulted in accord
ance with the will of the majority!

As your ianswer,will have some bearing 'on the

Justitia says, I am not able to write or speak

doubt true. How can he expect a simple shep

Daneberg, who has served under the American

country (Hungary) than he proceeded front New
York to Bremen and thence to the scene of war
where he is now earning golden laurels.

river Gila was explored before the MississippA

Gen. Taylor and the Office Seekers.
A correspondent of the Herald, speaking
of an interview he had with Gen. Taylor,
says:
"Ile stated a circumstance, which shows
beyond a doubt that sometimes, when the old
hero puts his foot down it leaves a mark.—
Ile informed me that 801110 time sincen per
sonalc and intimate friend of his requested
that a certain individual, ,a democrat, hold
ing, if I remember rightly, the office of post
master at Emmetsburgh, Md., should be
permitted to retain his situation. The Gen
eral promised his friend that he should not
be removed, and gave orders to that effect.
A short time after, a deputation of gentle
men front that section of the countrywaited •
upon the President,. and informed him that
they had been sent by the whigs of their
county to ask to have the above-named
postmaster displaced. The President repli
ed that he had been retained at his particu- .
lar request, and of course he could not con
sent to his being removed. Finding, after
urging the matter, that they could not ac
complish their purpose, they,withdrew, still
determining to bring to bear an influence
which they thought would be irresistible.—
In a few days along came the member of
Congress from that district, for the express'
purpose of effecting the removal of the in
cumbent. He stated to the President that
the whigs were very much dissatisfied . : at.
the retention of that person in office ; that Ifir •
was very odious to the ratty, and that the..
consequence of his being kept in office would
be the total overthrow of the whig party in.
his section of the country in the coming
tiOn. The old General, firm as a sock, smith
that he had given an answer upon thMsub-.:
ject a few days previously. to the gentlemen,
who waited upon him. He saw no reason.
to change his mind—the person could' not be
removed. Thus the affair rested fora short
time, when up comes Mr. Johnson, the Attor
ney General. .
"Mr. President," said he, "that man must
be removed, or we •Ipse a member; a large
portion of the whigs in his , district have de
termined that unless a whig is appointed in
his place, they will not vote with that par
ty ; you may depend upon it, we will lose a ,
great many whig vote. t('
• "Mr. Johnson," replied the president, ti
we lose every Whig vote in the state that man
shall not be removed."
In our. mindli eye, we can see Zachary,
with the singular twitch about his brow, as
he put it down toßeverdy, arid:the astonished
expression of Reverdy, as. crest-fallen.-and
dejected, he took his departure, more in sor
row than to anger. . •
