Juno is decidedly a very pleasant " insti tution"—the most healthful and temperate of the twelve calender fragment's of the year. Its Sports are delightful ; its luxuries innocent, its pities innumerable. The weather for the post few days has been all that the heart of man could wish, or the face of nature desire. Vegetation of every kind has put forth with rapid strides. We have had an abundance of rain during the Spring, together with a cool attnoqhero, which has clothed the earth with a nvn•e promising burthen of grass and grain than has been seen in this vicinity for years. The wet weather. however, has been rather unfavorable for corn. but even that note is promising. Altogt titer. producers and consumers may both look for. ward with bright anticipations to the eomiog harvest, as both remunerative and plelito.ms. There is now no prospect of famine, neither is there reason to believe that the iron hand of varico will be allowed to wrench from the consumer those exorbitant prices which bow the laborer to the dust, and create in the hearts of all an earnest desire for the promised " good time coming," which seems now to have dawned upon us.

It seems as though the patriotism and pub lic spirit of our citizens was still at a low ebb in regard to the coining Fourth. In Easton, Bethlehem, and the several towns and villages in oueown county the day is to be generally celebrated. Why is it that our own citizens, do not take More pride in celebrating that day of all days, ti day that should ever be held a glorious one.

Fatal Accident. • On Monday the IGth instant, a German named JAco➢ COuLENTZ, met with an accident while dressing curb stones in a grove nearCat asanqua, which resulted fatally shortly after the occurrence. Ile was at work on a heavy stone at the time, supported by a lever, which unexpectedly gave way, and threw its burthen on the unfortunate man. He was crushed very severely, and died in abou ttwo hours thereafter. Boar Shot. During the winter months, some of the farm. ers in Washington and Heidelberg townships, this county, were occasionally annoyed by some large unknowns nimal , by sundry depredations, but no clue could be discovered as to its place of abode. Several weeks since, however, the mystery was solved by the discovery of a mon ster bear in Washington township. Ho was chased up by a sot of dogs, and driven on a tree, where he was shot by man in the employ of Mr. Charles Daniel. Ile was of a very large size,—weighing 300 pounds. It is supposed . that he strayed or was 'driven by hunger from the forests further north. big with Ladies. uestrianism has been much in own, and we often notice gentle. anying them, on the right hand ecustom, though considered fashiona. not proper. It may therefore be interest:. I ; to those who engage in it to know the why and wherefore of this riding "to the left." It should be understood, then that this method of riding wiarladies was derived from the English. as tile law in England, directs the left hand of the road to bo taken by carriages, wagons, &c. ; therefore the gentleman takes the right to pro tect his fair companion. But in America the custom is to take the right hand side of the road,. consequently the gentleman rides to the left of the lady's horse. It seems to be best adapted to afford assist ance, whatever may occur. The right hand of the gentleman is perfectly free, and may be used to stop the horse or rescue the lady from danger. If her dress becomes entangled, he can on this side disentangle it. He can adjust her reins, disengage her foot from the stirrup, and lift her from her seat, without exposing her to accidents which might occur if he attempted to assist her from the opposite side. The only objection, says an experienced rider, to this mode of riding is, that the lady would be ex posed to the sheering of the gentleman's horse against her, but on the other hand she is ex posed to be struck by carts, wagons, and every thing else that comes along. One thing more is to be said in favor of the gentleman' taking theacf t side, which is, that he would then have i the lady's charming face towards his instead of her back ; which consideration, we think, will be quite ()tough to settle the question both with the gentlemen and ladies.

See advertise ment. Attempt to Steal a Morse. Last Saturday night a man attempted to steal a valuable horse belonging to Mr. Franklin P. Mickley, of North Whitehall township. He went into the field where the horse was pastur ing, and caught him, but just. as he brought him out into the street, a man made his appearance, ,and fearing probably that he could not Safely carry out his design, ho let loose the animal and made his ascape. )D'Tho following is a communication by a young lady of North Whitehall, in reply to an article we culled from ens of our exchanges, headed "Do Something," published on the outsido of our paper on the 4th inst. If it is viewed in a general sense, it may scent as a "slur" upon ladies, but in Allentown it is apparent that we have plenty of tho "sort" hinted at in the, article. It gives us pleasure, however, to see that our fair correspondent is not of that class, and that she strives to defend her sex. She bears hard on young men, but with a good deal of truth:—ED. [For the Lehigh Regieteti In glancing over the columns of the " Lehigh Register," I noticed an extract headed "Do Something," which is a slur upon the ladies. For my part, I think the young gents (if they may so be called,) could find some better em ployment than sitting around the different lo• tels, smoking and making remarks upon pass ers by ; it would be much more to their cred it. I am sorry to say that the gents of the nineteenth century, (with few exceptions.) if they possess a shanghai coat, and can raise a moustache, think they aro admired by the cams, as they style them, but they afro sadly mis taken, for a lady, (if she be one in the true sense of the word.) would not even favor them with a glance, let alone consent to become ac quainted. Now, young men arou - Sti yourselves. and in future strive to be more energetic, and you will be much more respected and fitted for the first circles in society. ANONYitOUS. Speech from James Buchanan. Week before last the Keystone Club, on their return from Cincinnati, waited on Mr. Buchan an at Wheatland, and the President of the Club congratulated him upon his nomination. Mr. Buchanan responded as follows' Gentlemen—Two weeks ago, I should have made you a longer speech, but now 1 have been placed upon a platform of which I most heartily and cordially approve. And being the repre sentative of the great Desperatic party of the country ,and not simply JCnes Buchanan , I must square my conduct according to that platform, and insert no new plank into it, nor take one plank out of it. That platform is sufficiently broad and sufficiently national for the whole Democratic party. This glorious old party now more than ever, has demonstrated that it is the true conservative party of the Constitution and Union.. .4;"' HIGH REG STER, JUNE 25, 1 Party Spirit At the present time is at its height. Party Spirit is &lone answerable for the present state of anarchy.and bloodshed which reigns in the land. There are but few who now ask the question—What is the country's good ?—the majority exclaim . , what is best for party ?—and that which they think is best, they hasten to execute, it matters not how much falsehood is involved in their action, or what danger to the welfare of the whole is attendant upon the mad execution of their wild and reckless schemes. Party spirit generates rancorous feelings, ur ges to violence, and results in crime. It sun ders the holiest ties, begets principles at war with the spirit of our Constitution, whose teachings lead to brotherly love and universal amity. Greece, Rome, Genoa, Switzerland, and many other countries were ruined by par ties. Tbe question ought not to be, what an individual or set of individuals may think, but what is for the common good,—what will pre serve our unity, and better our conditions as a whole. Men do not seek to " conquer the truth ;" they only writhe and agonize to over come their fellow-men. Private opinions have assumed the entire sway, and the public good is to be sacrificed to party feeling. The blackguards of the South (for what portion of the land is without its appointed bullies and hot-house heroes ?)rise rise up against the tongue stinging agitators of the North, and disgrace alike their constituents and the Republic at large, by actions which should brand them for ever with a tenfold infamy and shame. But is the North blameless ? We will not concede it. Many of its public men have been foremost in fostering and spreading that party spirit which works evil to its authors, and brings ruin in its footsteps wherever it treads. Last Week's Presidential Conventions. The anti-Fillmore Americans held a Conven tion in New York week before last, and on Monday the 16th., succeeded in nominating a ticket for President and Vice President. The ninth ballot resulted in the nomination of Mr. Banks. present Speaker of the House, for. Pre sident, the vote being as follows : Nathan P. Banks, Jr., bf Mass., - - 53 votes John McLean, of Ohio, 24 John C. Fremont, of California, -- 18 " • Mr. Banks was then declared the unanimous choice of the Convention. The Convention then proceeded to vote informally for a candidate for the Vice Presidency ; and on the first vote Win. • F. Johnston, of Pennsylvania, received a major ity, and was subsequently declared the unani mous choice for the candidacy of. that office. The Convention was subsequently entertained by speeches from ex-Mayor Conrad, of Philadel phia ; Mr. Johnston, the Vice President candi date ; and Mr. Bird, of Ohio. After the adop• tion of a platform, and the appointment of a committee to wait on Mr. Banks, and to confer with the Republican Convention. the Conven tion adjourned till Thursday, at 10 o'clock. The morning session was enlivened by the secession, in a body, of the New Jersey delega tion, and the subsequent ,bolting of individual members from the New York and Pennsylvania delegations, and of Delaware's, sole representa tive. The ground of 'secession was alleged 'to be, that the sentiment of the Convention was more in favor of Republicanism than of Ameri canism. The seceders subsequently met some where, organized into a Convention, and nom inated Robert F. Stockton, for President, and Kenneth Raynor• for Vice President. The nom inations were unanimously confirmed amid loud applause. A series of strong Anti-Nebraska resolutions were then adopted, and this faction of a faction adjourned sine die. The Republicans met in National Conven tion in Philadelphia on Tuesday of last week, and organized by the appointment of Col. Henry S. Lane, of Indiana, as President. A great many delegates were in attendance. On Wed nesday afternoon, a resolution was carried, to go into a ballot for a candidate for President. Before this - ; a communication was received from the Northern American Convention that met in New-York; responding favorably to a proposi tion to co-operate with the Republican party. This gave rise to much debate. At first the communication was laid upon the table, but subsequently this action was reconsidered, and the paper referred to the Committee on Plat form. A letter had been read in the morning from JUdge McLean; intimating his desire to withdraw his name from the Convention. The withdrawal was now reconsidered, and the 'name of the Judge retained as- a candidate. The names of Messrs. Chase and Seward were withdrawn. 'An informal ballot showed a largo majority for Col. John C. Fremont, of California, and he was subsequently nominated for President by acclamation. They finished their business on Friday—by nominating the Hon. William L. Dayton, of New-Jersey, for Vice President, and then adjourned finally amid great rejoicing. P. S.—The Northern Americans partially fused with the Republican party on Friday by setting aside Banks and substituting Fre mont as their Presidential candidate ; retain ing for the present, Gov. Johnston for Vice President.

Reeder made a speech at Chicago, in the course of which he went fully and earnestly into the issues in volved in the struggles going on in Kansas. We give the following extract : lle said that Kansas alone was of vast int por:ance to the Union. But it was not only for Kansas that this war was being waged. There is beyond that Territory region enough lilt. six States as large as Pennsylvania. As one goes', so all will go. It is a contest for all of these States—for twelve Senators in Con gress, who.will over-ride the north, and usurp the freedom of every State iu the Union. But this is not all. Further South is New Mexico, which will, by these proceedings be isolated from the North and come into the Union under Slavery auspices, and the North will not be al lowed to put a hand upon the first foot of that Territory as it comes into the Union. He said it was, then, a contest for the empire of almost a continent. Th. South knows the value of this State. Once they get Kansas, and the die is cast, and all the States thereafter admitted fall into their hands. Cuba;Sandwi3h Islands and Nicaragua are looked forward to, and once in, the South has the rule. Then what have you to expect ? The past shows what the fu ture will be, and those who beat down and murder your citizens to gain the power, will rule in the same way, and if great care is not taken, the North will wake up too late to avert the calamity. reserving. to the electoral rotes of inguishing between tho Worth The following exhibi the several States, dist free and slave States: FREE Maine, 8 New Hampshire, 5 Vermont, 5 Massachusetts, 13 Rhode Island, 4 Connecticut, 6 New Jersey, 7 Pennsylvania, 27 California, 4 ;TATBS.
