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.

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.

The political sentiment of Mississippi is be
coming more National and conservative every

find her Delegates in the Charleston Conven

The gallant Illinoian is rapidly gaining
strength throughout the entire South, and ho
is now everywhere regarded as the only man
for the crisis, and whose success, if nomi

The Expositor, a leading and Influential De

The greater part of this prodtice of the slave

The Democratic camp in Kentucky is rings

the action of South Carolina in reference to
the Charleston Convention, as follows!
,This Convention, to nominate a candidate
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the
United States,-Tneets the latter part of April.
There should be some early action preparatory
to a representition by those who do not feel
themselves above meeting in Convention with
the representatives of the States' Rights Do
mocrapy of the other States of the Union.—
We co-operate with the same party in both
branches of the Federal Congress, and so long
as we continue to do so, wo should contribute
our strength towards making the /Administra
tion one that' Will set in harmony with our
Representatives in Washington,and aid them in
vindicating the rights of the South. If a doper•
ture from the Union be resolved upon, we are
able to sustain our part in that resolution ; if
continuation in the Union be resolved upon,
we should make the best fight wo can in the
Union for our constitutional rights and inter
ests.
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.

{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.
