POLITICAL " DEMORALIZATION. The prinuiry meetings which have recent ; ly been held for the purpose of nominating candidates for city and ward offices have presented one feature which is alike dis honorable and immoral, and which, if not checked in time may lead to disastrous re sults hereafter. The contests in the several wards have been warm and exciting, and in most, if not all of them, the vote at the pri mary meeting of a single party has been equal to, if not greater, than the entire vote of the ward where such meeting was held. Neither party is free from the reproach which this condition of things must cast upon a party organization, although the Republi cans have manifested a far greater degree of this kind of political demoralization during the present campaign than the Democrats. The object of primary meetings is un doubtAly to obtain a full, free and fair ex pression of the desires of, the party in each ward, as to what men they will choose to vote for as their candidates when election day comes. This is their right 'and those who interfere with its exercise, are bad citi zens. In our form of government the -first principle is that a majority of the people should rule so long as their decisions are not - - -contrary to written law. But in most of our primary meetings this winter, the mem bers of a party have had no fair opportuni ty to get an expressiOn of what the desire of the majority of the party may be. The vot ing instead of being confined to the mem bers of the party has been, as it were, a free thing. In the Third Ward, for instance, where the sworn assessor returns only about eleven hundred taxables, th a two parties at their primary meetings have polled about double that number. Where did these votes come from, for that they were not fairly csst by the legal voters of the ward is be yond dispute? The fact, probably is, that all the loose voters from all the other wards were called in to help their friends in the Third and some of them probably voted half a doien times over. Partizanship has prevented/ the people of the ward from ob taining a fair expression of the will of the majority. The same condition of affairs has obtained in the Second and doubtless to some extent in all the wards. Politicians may regard this as a trifling matter, and say there are but primary meet ings—the voting will be all fair and legal on election day. But it is not a trifling matter to defeat the wishes of the people i lly unfair trickery. Men who will cheat in making the nominations will also cheaton election day if they can get an_opportunity. The disregard of honorable rules at one time creates a disregard of legal ones at another. Men who have nothing at stake in the com munity, finding that they can control nomi nations will attempt to. control elections and the people are in constant danger of having incompetent, if not badmen in their public . - offices. Some of our sister cities have been placed almost in a condition of anarchy by this very sort of thing. Look at Baltimore where the very worst portion of the citizen s rule the city, and neither life nar property is safe. Let us put a check upon these demoraliz ing and degenerating -.political influences while we have yet the' power, and before the unprincipled forces which can be brought to bear at any time and at any place upon our franchises have grown too strong for our control. Let each party adopt printed rules for conducting their primary meetings, as has been done in Philadelphia, and let them be adhered to. To those who will conduct the primary meetings of the Democratic party which are to be held during the present week, we say let them be oonddeted with Democratic de cency and order. Leta fair expression of the wishes of the Democratic voters of each ward he obtained and of themonly. People who come to you at the eleventh hour with DernoCiatie pledges, are not to be:trusted. They will not vote for our nominees unless the particular man of their choice is success ful. They, only come among us with pur poses of disorder and confusion. See to it that the votes at the primary meetings this week . are all Democratic ones. Between Democratic candidates let Democrats decide and let all outside influences be cast aside. Each party is fully competent to make its own nominations without aid from its oppo nents. Let nothing be left undone to pre serve our organization in its strength and purity. 0 - . 1 . BEE •;. ..~Yh+ ~ G ~~~~ V--~ 4•4. r. • Among dui:greatest -treats it person . ' of taste can enjoy, is to make acquaintance with pictures which it is a priVilege , to look upon. To a person of taste, the memories of pictures - once seen - 13:like that of old friends. Hastily, and almost by stealth we glance at pictures in private collections.— We see them when we-have not time to linger, or when the customs of - polite socie ty do not allow us the privilege of examina tion—such as we desire. But a public col lection of fine pictures is a noble banquet, where we are permitted to _enjoy a quiet revel among the glories of ever-living art. An association of Pittsburgh artists and art-lovers are now alforditig to their fel low citizens the opportunity of an enjoy ment of the most refined and cultivated char acter. The gallery of paintings which they have gathered, is one of greaCartistic beauty .and excellence. It is not like many such exhibitions, a mere miscellaneous collection of.:pictures on sale, nor was the scheme of the liberal-minded gentlemen,' who origina ted it designed it as a money-making affair. The paintings have been selected for their real merit, and the exhibition is designed to please thispublic, and improve and edu sate its taste for the rare and beautiful in art. The committee have gathered, not a perplexing host of pictures, but a sufficient number to delight all eyes, and occupy all minds, for there are paintings, to please all tastes—to cultivate knowledge—to awaken high thoughts. These gentlemen have done all that lay in their power to do. Bee like, they seem to have had the power to have extracted the very honey of art, and have presented to the public a gathering of pictures, which, for quiet grace and beauty, as well as intrinsic artistic merit, we have rarely if ever seen excelled. It now remanis for the public to endorse their taste and re ward their labors. it is a privilege as well as a pleasure to attend such an exhibi tion, and we are well assured that the citi zens of Pittsburgh—great admirers of the pratical and useful as they are—have still both the taste and the local pride to sustain an enterprise of this kind—designed to cul tivate the public taste, and attract towards the beautiful and the true.

"No Merry Christmas. .The members of Congress will be obliged to go through, the holidays without a cent of money, unless the Home make a speaker. The law authorizes the members to draw the three quarters' salary, or about twenty-two hundred dollars each, their mileage, on the tint day of the smarm. But it also provides that their checks should be signed by the Speaker The Sergeant-at-Arms has advanced the most needy 'about forty thousandOdlars Thu whole amount. due to the members is a !nil het, of dollars.

The greater part of this prodtice of the slave States was exported through Northern houses and Cly Northern ships, Northern merchants and shippers realizing the profits of such export, and making also u profit on goods sold to the South in exchange for such Southern produce. The Democratic camp in Kentucky is rings log with preparation for the coming contest. Democratic primary meetings have been held in fiftystwo counties for the purpose of appoint ing delegates to the State Convention at Frank fort. of these, thirty have instructed their delegates to propose Mr. Guthrie as the K.01:1. - tacky candidate at Charleston, one has declared fur Mr., Breekinridge, and twenty-one have expressed no preference. The Secretary of the Treasury announces that proposals will be received until the 27th instant, for the issue of any portion of the whole of three millions of dollars in Treasury notes in exchange for gold coin of the United States—mid treasury notes to be exchanged at the lowest - rate of interest, and not to exceed ■ix per cent. per annum.

The Empress Eugenie in Council Napoleon's Court at Compeigne amuses itself with parlor theatricals, in which the ,Empress is very charming, only she has a chronic diffi culty with the letter r. The behavior of the Empress at the council of ministers is worth observing. The most abstruse and Melt ques tions are listened to by her Majesty with the greatest apparent attention. She al ways comes armed with pencil and with paper, and takes down notes with the pretiest pedantry in the world. It is true that the fair and snowy hand as if rebellious against be thankless office, are continually. occupied in sliding to and fro the rings upon her Angers, and in turning :and twisting the bracelets on her, wrists, 'whose pretty little Chintmejingle formed so funny an accompaniment to the reading of the report upon the Peiho expedition the other day, that the grave seignors all laughed aloud, and the Emperor joined good humoredly in the mer riment, and seizing her lattjetili"s band, kissed it rapturously, making the funny little bells with which the bracelet was hung all around, ring out a more joyous peal than' ever. So you see all is not prose and dry discourse at the Cabinet councils; the presence of - woman enlivens even these pedantic meetings. The stones, iiti• the, corner -of the Mer chants' Exchange, in Beatciti t are larger than any single stone in Cleoptries Needle ; and those now in erection on** 'United States' Treasury building, at Washington, are mach liavier than any stones of Pompeii's Pillar, as the Pyramids of Egypt. ve: _ i .. ~. ~ _ - .* ~ r. THE ART EXHIBITION. MISSISSIPPI COMING. Sectional. Trade. Kentucky PoUtica. Treasury Notes The Charleston Convention Compar4on. {Correspondence of the Pittoburgh Yost.] A LTOONA, December 17, 1859 COL. BAR.IL-I was surprised upon my arri val hero front the East a few days since to find this usually staid and quiet borough in the midst of great excitement The occasion was one of ordinary interest, to wit ;the completion of-the Gas and Water Works, but the citi zens had resolved that the day should be cele brated in each a way as should be remember ed, and to do the citizens justice it . tust he said that the celebrations were granailinstrating the saying that "Peace hath its triumphs, not less than War ;" and what greater cause can any community have for rejoicing, than the introduction of pure water, for health, comfort and protection from tires, and when you add to this, the blessings of cheap and brilliant gas light, it may bo permitted the inhabitants to rejoice. The amusements of the residents, few though they be, are still of a practical nature and merriment was lot loose upon this occasion. The reporters in attendance from your city have dole flail justice to the occasion, being a mere " looker on," I did not participate in the festivities, but enjoyed the scene from what seemed to bo for a while the centre of attrac tion. The Logan House where I any domiciled, was crowded with visitors and spectators from roof to domo, a band of music entertaining us with some stirring airs ; our worthy host Miller and Rae having illuminated the interior of their establishment with a flood of light, ad , ded light to the verandah and theexterior, mak ing it light as day. The also contributed to the entertainment a beautiful balloon of mag nificent proportions, being sonic twenty feet in height, with the name of " LOGAN " consilic uous upon the side; this, with a liberal display of fire works contributed largely to the bril liancy of the scene. The celebration past, the water and the gas will no doubt perform the duties elicited them of patient hourly service, and it is to be hoped that the former will sel dom Weaned upon to extinguish those invol untary illuminations so dreaded in all thickly settled towns. This celebration was quite unexpected, and formed an agreeable episode in my visit to this pleasant town. You should conic here and see Altoona in its winter garb, as I have observed your admi ration of its summer scenery and surround ings. VALE.
