Our Great National Fostival The hearts of millions will beat and thrill to morrow with a livelier glow of patriotism than ordinary. The great festival of the nation is about to he celebrated, and all ages and condi tions of Society will, in feeling or in action, participate in the grand jubilee. It is at , such . a moment that we feel proud of our country and its institutions. The spirit of liberty ani mates and burns in every bosom, and wo re joke for the blessings enjoyed, for the political privileges posFessed, for the glories of the past, the realities of the preeent, and the, golden promise of the flume. But we should do more. We should not be satisfied with the mere expression of feeling, on rut occasion so hallowed by all that is dear in the history of the nation. The men who have gone before were the builders up of the republic in which we live, of which we are members, and the institutions of whicb guarantee to ne our tights and privileges. Theirs was a mighty , work of patriotism and self-denial. The annals of the world present nothing brighter, purer, or more suited for enduring fame. How, then, shall we best test our appreciation of conduct so en nobling, of principles so elevating ? How best shall we perfect, purify and transmit to the generations that will come after us, the rich in heejlence of beechen and good gm eretnent, of anion and brotherly love, won at such cost, by so many struggles, and transmitted as our safeguard and guide? flow best shall we prove true to the !tight task confided to us— how fulfil the sacred mission of pioneers in the cause of human freedom? These are 'question i; Which possess force, and are pregnant with meaning at a moment like the present. Wit have not only rights and blessings to enjoy, but duties to folfiL We hut form links in the great chain of being. We realize the advantages of ages of trial ; and it is our happy lot to be boot in a land that is bloc ea in many points of view, a lamb n here the political privileges are more widely diffused than - in - any - other - on - the - faee-of-t he-glotte,-a land teeming with abundance, and where the wail cf.famine has tint been heard :ince the white•man seleeted it !or his home. We rajt, through the medium of literature totil history, look back for ages: watch the pregre ,, of hu man minim ta r n the early rand barbarian pe • rinds; see when the lezta of Chri,tianity lust broke upon and henelltied die w rl 1, arid re alize: in our pre,ent condition, a ! , 12:11 slate of civilization and human enjoyment. We I,lve hearts to ',eel and minds to think, and we RhOnld trot prove o,,et:siblc to the realities of the case. What then should we do? flow' should we shape our though:F., our p:ieeip!es an d Cur act i o n a, to pronto tlw greatest geed of Me greatest number, tint only now, lc'"r I ^ - tr• - ro ,- , bet i time to come? How should we give to the a which we live, an onward and U pwar , l impulse ? Bow a , F.sist the wellan3 et the millions thwegheet ihe %voila? How e. , :t!ribtne le the con sum ma. tion to which our !aith as men and chriidians teaches us to look forward with hope and with confidence? Let its ponder on these interro gatories, and endeavor to shape our decisions to some salutary end. To be, to exist, to enjoy—all these are the attributes of the mere !auto. But 'nail has no bler faculties, higher aims and ol,jeots. To be true to himself and t 3 his doty, he f , hoold at least 'make nu effirt to contribute to the wel fare, mental and moral, of nor common tin ma • oily, to promote the prosperi+y of the masses, and above all, to give each other mutual as sistance, as well in a social as a political point of view, Uwe would enjoy the blessings thus held out to us.

The volley of abuse contained in the "Bud get of Slander" of last week, is but a repetition of what the nominal editor has cooked over fur the third or fourth time, with the. addition only of a large supply of "filth" and "smut." As we hai•o no idea of undertaking anything sn ridiculous as answering the slanderous and poisolinus discourse—a thing of "shreds arid paltdies"—stretched over nearly two columns of close murkier, giving utterance to language that cannot be mistaken as the genuine style of Joseph Surface, in the "School of Scandal ?" We are inclined, therefore, only to touch upon a few points in which we trust onr readers will bear with us another week, and . wc may Le t the harittleas creattne raw. As the —Slanderers" hired FvriblAer appropri• ale:, to the Register the title of •Sintit 'Machine: it May be necessary to say that this tarathille.: ft , quires some little explanation at our hands. A "Sintit Machine'' is a thing mcd in mills t o cleanse and separate the . fungus or smut from the reheat, a black and greasy substance, often contained in it. In us, however, to undertake to cleanse the filthy hide and black character ol our neighbor, is a task of no little impottanee. A creature who has polluted and contamina• ted the place that gave him birth—who dis graced the fair villaye where he last resided, and who roiled and tamished his OWII sex by his nightly connection with a character—who agrees in color with his lavni he word 'smut'— in order to carry out his fiendiEh purposes, is no doubt a tit subject to go throtteh the 'smut rria• chine," and we know no better way titan to have hire tied to a whipping- peq, and a round hundred ‘vith a "eat-amine-tail" applied to his bare back, a hetet of uyenne and suit, well laid On over n;ght ; alter which we will give him a turn through the "smut machine" and our word for it, it will effect a perfect cure, and he may by a little attention become an hottest man, a faithful and attentive hut-hand, and a useful citizen. The ''Budget of Slander" with its nominal editor at its head and a "blackguard scribbler" in ambush, the one to write lakihoods and the other to father them, have been the source of interminable di-cords in all the hallowed re lationship of the family circle, not only in Al lentown, but wherever they have been a milli eient-time-to-earty-out-theiphellish-ititentions,-1,-; it then strange, reader, that they should glory to pass the poison of their lying lips from tongue to tongue and from house to house in older to level a fellow neighbor to their low and degrad ed Mandan!, hoWever, “: 4 !tt:l,!prer: , moy oQpa:l repvtalinn, iSu forttwattfly rh , t, 'Orr is twywikl Ilnrir wadi \\ hat tilC! 1.1 regoht to our vituulatiun, 1:4 not ro boa altar all.

The following resolutions were introduced and adopted amidst much enthusiasm: Resolved, That in the enactment of Revenue Laws by the National Government, fair and ad equate protection to American interests should be carefully afforded ; that the Whig party, now as heretofore, maintaining and declaring its de• voted attachment to that American, system of international exchanges which secures to the workingman fair wages, to the farmer remune rating prices for his productions, and to the man ufacturer anti manufacturers a just reward for his skill, labor, and enterprise. Resolved, That the Tariff of 11396 is - unjust and unequal in its operations, and anti American in its tendencies; that it is equally' destructive of the vital interests of Pennsylvania, tha pros tration of the iron and other manufactories of merchandise ; in the depression and partial ruin of her whole operatives; in the consequent de crease of revenue from her public works, and in parts of the State the great decline in the val ue of property. Resolved, That the Ithiarty has at all times and under all crmstances ly contended against that poli y in our national a airs, which favors and protects the laborer of °the at the sacrifice of the prosperity of our ow MO . Resolved, That the importation of millions of dollars worth of railroad iron, by which our peo ple have been robbed of employment, and large balances of trade produced against us, is conclu sive evidence of the blasting and destructive ef fects of the tariff of 1846. Resolved, That the government and people of Pennsylvania are loyal to the National Constitu tion, and are ready at all hazards to carry its rovisions into effect, to assert otherwise is a Ii- bel upon the fair fame of the citizens (lithe Corn won wealth. 'Resolved, That the adjustment• measures of the last Congress shall be faithfully observed and respected by the Whigs. Resolved, That an unalterable determination to maintain the supremacy of the Constitution and Laws has been, and is now, one of our car. dinal doctrines, and that, while others have fal tered, the history of the Whig party demon. stra'tes• that, in the sin rut of adversity or in the sunshine of prosperity, this guiding star of our country's hope has never been dimmed by its ac tion or counsel. Resolved, That the opinions of our worthy State Executive on this subject, as expressed in his last annual message, meets the cordial ap proval of this Convention, and expresses the v tows of our constituents. Resolved, That it is our duty to accustom our. selves to think and speak of the National Union as the main pillar in the edifice of our political safety and prosperity essential to our collective and individual happiness, and for which we cher ish an attachment discountenancing whatever may suggest, even a suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned. Resolved, That the National Administration under the guidance of our Whig President, Mil lard Fillmore, has the unbounded confidence of Whigs of Penn,ylvania, that in our domestic po licy its manly advocacy of protection to native industry, the improvement of rivers and harbors, the reduction of postage, and the strict account. ability and economy of public officers, its ener getic, republican, truthful, and dignified manage. ment of our foreign affairs, have secured for it the gratitude of this and the respect of other na tions. Resolved, That NVilliam F. Johnston, Penn sylvania's Whig Governor, deserves, and will receive the gratitude of her tax-paying thou sands, for his untiring zeal and devotion to se. cure and further their interests, by perfecting a sinking fund system that must ultimately pay that oppressive State debt, which has been fast. cued upon them by the profligacy and extra?_ gance of our opponents, and for his effyrts to complete and bring into successful operation the unfinished public works, without incteased tax_ ation, thtis, proving how well he has watched over and guarded every interest, derived every means and directed all that the welfare of •the whole people should be secured. Resolved, That the history cif Governor John_ ston's administration furnished the safest guar, antee that on all subjects submitted to his con,. sideration, his action thereon will be governed, influenced, and directed by a faithful regard to truth Attlee, and the nquireuients of the Von.. stitution. RPsolved, That General Winfield Stott is be yond question the choice of the Whigs of Penn sylvania, as their candidate for the Presidency in 1852, and that we earnestly recommend him to the Whigs of the Union as the most des.erv mg and available candidate for that high of rice. Pending the question upon the adoption of these resolutions, John M. Scott, Esq, of •Phila, delphia, moved the insertion of the following us an amendment:— Resolved;That the provisions of the Consti tution in reference to the rendition of fugitives held to service or labor, demand and shall re.. ceive front our party, a faithful, manly and un equivocal support. On the question of the adoption of the amend ment, a long . discursive and exciting discussion sprang up..in which Messrs. Ogle, Sullivan, Bell, Robinson, Dootnia, John M. Scott, John Dickey and others participated. The remarks of the .different speakers were frequently' interrupted by be noisiest demonstrations of appiaus. The speech of Mr: Ogle was recieved with uproari ens shouts of laughter and great satisfaction. Resolved, That the Whig party, and all such members of other parties as feel a common in. wrest in the propriety and good name of Penn.. sylvania, entertain a just pride in OUT execu• rive office, who firmly maintained her honor and faith at home or abroad, and Who has defined with ability her principal and policy, whenever and wherever assailed. It being announced that goy. Johnston Would make a speech; the Vonventioh adjourned to a more convenient place to hear him. The Governor was received with the most live ly demonstrations of joy. lie made an eloquent speech urged upon the Convention the necessi• ty of choosing ”good men and true" for the Judi cial ticket.

June 25 The Panama Herald relates the following case of elopement : A lady at San Francisco, on the morning of the sailing of the Tennessee, was quietly seated' reading over the list of passengers who liad'en: gaged passage of Panama, When to her aStontsh , ed sight there appeared the name of her huSbanti in the list! Could she believe her own eyes.— She knew that her husband's trunks were pack. ed and that he had informed her "he was oblige ed to go to Sacramento on business which would' detain him a feW days." Startled and convinc ed by the truth, thus manifested to her, she con_ eluded to open his trunks where she found M. 000 in hard cash. This she divided—taking $3,. 000 and leaving $5,000, the "lion's share," which was exceedingly generous on her part. In due time the affectionate husband bade her good bye, telling her he would be back in three or four days and little suspecting that she was not only cognizant of his villiany, but that of his means, she had provided amply for herself. He left and wen 3 on hoar) the Tenaessee, came to this city and is now•on his way to New York, whilst his deserted wife is rejoicing to think that she has so easily got rid of such a contemptible wretch as his conduct proves him to be.
