Our readers will all, doubtless, recollect Judge Maynard, who, for a brief period, so ably and acceptably presided over one of the Courts in this county. I D a recent charge to the grand jury of Lehigh county referring to the state of affairs now exist mg in our county, the Judge lays down the true doctrine in a manner that cannot I be misunderstood. He says .- of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and* free dom of action within the limits of law and constitutional liberty, are among the most sacred and dearest rights of freemen These are the birth-right of our people'' and cannot be wrested from them until the ' Consutution is abolished, and the laws es tablishmg the Judiciary are repealed. tWii, 13 th \ dut ? ot tlj e Judiciary to see that the rights of the people are held ee cure from the encroachments of power The rights and liberties of the people find their surest protection in the hand S P of an opnght Judiciary who stand in the fear of God, and superior to all other fear.

If there is any point where win' aaraaca - woultl . eeas 0 to be a virtue, it will be at that point when any party in power shall attempt to interfere with the freedom of Ihe elective franchise : but let ua trust that the forbearance of freemen under this Government will not be put to that fearful test.” Calisthenics, —The principles of exer cise embraced in the practice of Ca'isthe mes have been but little understood, and less heeded, the result of which has 1 unfortuuate to many, particularly ihos wuo are delicately constituted. Any slight exertion on their part results in fatigue, and physical exhaustion. Even the mind feels the effects of the want of physical strength, and there is a continual depression; want of energy, and irresista ble desire to do nothing. This can all be obviated by proper exercise. The exercise embraced in the practice of Calisthenics is well adapted to insure a healthful and vigorous condition of the system. A yeung lady m Chieago, who, one year ago, was suffering from the effects of want of energy, or physical power, to support r r etlC r^ 1 ' t ;’- is J now ’ after one years’ practice of this kind of exercise, enabled to support, without fatigue, what before, eudurance° ProV6d bey ° Dd W P oWers Meet,xo Monday Night.— l he late boar at which the great outpouring of the Democracy, on Monday eyemng sojourned, coupled with the crowded state oi cur columns, precluded us from giving more than a mere passing notice ot the proceedings. It is, however" but an act of justice to that eloquent and able champion of Democracy, John Me- Sweeney of Ohio, to say that his speech was one of the ablest that has been deliv ered here dnnng the campaign. No better evidence !s wanting of the telling efiect of Mr McSweeney’s address than the fact that it has roused the ire of the Gazette which contemptuously calls him the Buckeye bledge Hammer." We hope this able champion of Democracy will de liver one or two more of his “sledge ham mer speeches before the people of Alls* gheny county.

Professor Pepper patented his property provisional ly, but.not perfectly. Before his patent conld be completed, a Mr. King, of Bath cornea out with a spectral illusion, which he patents ; and then lodged an affirma tion at the patent office against Penner on the ground that Pepper’s invention was no invention, but was old as the hills ft matters but little how Professor Pep r , K ‘ ng . Bettle *®>r disputes, as Sam Saniord, during his stay, will pro dace the “ghost," and as there are thous ands among us who are skeptical in rela tion to departed epirits visiting this mun dane sphere, and others who have never seen a -live ghost," we anticipate a great rush to Maion c Hall to hear what sort of ‘ tale it will unfold. Will they Close ?-To-day has been set apart by Republicans of Western Pennsylvania to hold a Grand Mass Con vention in this city. Preparations have been made upon a grand scale, speakers from all parU of the country are announc ed to be present, and a “big thine” is Rn ticipated. To add to the numbers ?n attendance, it has been proposed to close places of business to-day so that all may attend. We suppose the workmen in the employ of Republican business men will not object to this arrangement, provided they are paid for their time. But as this would cost a penny, we feel safe in con- C , basln ?“ s will go on as usual, and that but few of the “bone and sinew" will care to loose a day to attend a con vention of the friends of Andy Curtin At least we feel sure that the Gazetle would not favor such a coarse. a Where to be Assessed.-Iu answer to our correspondent “Voter," we give the names and residence of the Assessors of Pittsburgh, as follows: First "ard-Jas.
