A WEAK lEVE:GT[ON OF THE, ENEMY.—We have
been told (for we have not seen it) that a handbill
headed" Foul Play," reflecting upon certain of the del
egates at the late Democratic Convection, for their votes
on the Sheriffalty, is incirculation. They are charged.
it would seem, with acting treacherously to Mr. Pat
terson, by violating the instructions of their constitu
ents to vote for him. We are informed that Mr. Pat
terson, of Mifflin; Messrs Stewart and McGinley, of
Plum; Mr. Morrison, of Moon; Mr. M. Snee, of Jef
ferson: and Mr. S. Snee, of the city, are named as
obnoxious to these charges.
Now the very igr.orance betrayed by the author of
this handbill, proves that it is a miserable device of
our opponents, intended to create dissatisfaction with
the ticket am3ng a pottian of the party. He has not
only assailed men whose political and personal reputa
tion places them above even a suspicion of having ac
ted with treajitery to any member of the party, but he
evinces a totes want of knowledge of the facts of the
case. To prove this we will' only refer to the case of
Mr. Patterson. of Mifflin. When he was accused of
having violated instructions, he produced a note from
the chairman of the primary meeting in his tovinship,
and one or two others that were present, disproving the
. charge. This note was published in the Post of Thurs
day.
Mr. Michael Snee, of Jefferson, w•as instructed for
Idaj. Largef- when the Major withdrew, he certainly
was at liberty to vote for whom heiploa.sed. Mr. S.
&See, of the North Ward, was instructed to vote for
Col. Trovillo--he obeyed his instructions, mid yet he is
assailed in this anonymous handbill. Messrs. Stewart
and McGinley, the delegates from Plum, and Mr. Mor
rison, from Moon, were instructed for Mr. Patterson,
and we hue The best authority for saying that they
did vote for him on the first ballot. Can it be possible,
under these circumstances, that any democrat would
assail sterling and tried co-partisans like these with a
breach of faith? We will not believe it. The whole
affair is but a weak and wicked device of the enemy,
I to create distrust in the delegates assailed, and to
I scatter discontent in the ranks of the party.
STRANGE SVICIDE.—We learn from the Spirit of
the Times of Wednesday, while the Columbia train
was coming towanis Philadelphia the day previous,
when about a quarter of a mile above the plain, and
going very slowly, a man named Charles Axe, who was
supposed to be insane, threw himself under the bag
gage car, which passed over his body just below the
breast bone,killing him instantly. He was from New
' Castle, Mercer county, in this State. His little sun,
aged about twelve years, was with him, and witnessed
, the horrid deed of his parent. He said he was entire_
lv without money, and the passengers, with commenda
-1
ble generosity, raised among them the sum of $24,
which the gave to him. The body of the deceased was
brought to the city in the cars.
Mr. A. had come in the ears from Pittsburgh, and it
is said that he told his son of his intention to commit
the act, while between Lancaster and Philadelphia,
and that the lad was several times seen crying, though
none knew for what reason.
THEATRICAL N ews AT HOME AND ABROAD.—Our
Theatre is doing a tolerable business. The "Forty
Thieves" had a pretty good run, and the succeeding
attractions drew very fair houses. Miss Clarendon
finished a brief engagement on Saturday evening al
though not much of an actress, her beatey was quite
sufficient to call forth the encomiums of out citizens,
and render her engagement profitable to the Manager.
The Park Theatre, Now York, is undergoing most
beautiful alterations and improvements. It will open
early in September, with Macready.
. The Bowery is doing a smashing business under the
rris t nagernent of Hamblin and De Bar. Mr. J. R.
Scott and Mrs. Sefton do the "tall thing."
The Ravel family are pleasing and asumishing the
people, at Niblo's Garden, New York.
The Arch at. Theatre, Philadelphia, is thriving un
der the auspices of Mr. Russell. A new &tams na
med "Pat Lyons," by James Rees, Esq . . was lately
produced.
Elssler and Cerito danced a pas de deux on the oc
casion of the Queen of England's recent state visit to

.. r k ANOTHER. SUICIDC.- - ThP Forum of the :2911 says
that Mr. Edward Itus.ell Eva”s, aged about 35 years'.
residing in Pine street near Fourth, committed suicide
on Monday evening by shooting himself through the
heal with a pistol. It an?ears he had been out all
day attending to SOW/ affairs and returned about nine
o'clock. He entered the chamber where his wife and

forth the &wily weapon and committed the deed.—
lie belongs to one of the most estimable and respecta
ble families in our city. The Coroner held an jolliest
on the body. The jury returned a verdict accordingly.
Last)Scirix.—The Levee in the First Municipality
of New Orleans has caved in. causing a great injury
to the property in that vicinity, and requiring thousands
of expenditures to repair. The "Tropic" says that
"the front of four or five squares, from the Beef Mar
ket down the river, is in the most dilapidated coadition.
The wharf preseats an appearance as if a whirlwind
had swept along it. The earth is cracked and sunk to
the verge of the Market house. In sumecases houses
are half turned over, and others sunk a foot beneath
the level of terra firma. The scene presented to the
eye is one of devastation. Conversing with an old Ital
ian, whose tabernacle is in a tottering condition, he in
formed us, the Levee commenced giving way three days
since, and so far, it has not ceased. The cause we
presume of this disaster, is attributed to the unusual
rise in the Mississippi, and its protracted duration,and
I its rapid decline."
Mont SCARED TLIAN Iltnr.—lt appears that the
people of New York were unnecessarily alarmed about
the yellow fever, noticed in our paper of Saturday. Dr.
Vedic, who was appointed to go to Rondout, where
the disease first appeared, returned to New York and
reports thatthe disease at that place is bilious remit
tent fever. readily yielding to active medicines, and at
tended with none of the aggravated and malignant
character of yellow fever, and that it was prevailing,
though in a somewhat milder form, for about two months
previous to the arrival of the schooner Vanda. from the
New York Quarantine. Three only had died of it.
CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATIC NOMNATIONS.—The
following Congressional nominations have been made
by the democrats of the several counties named:
Susquehanna District, Hon. ALMON H. READ.
Perry do., Hon. JAMES BLACK.
Lebanon, do., Dr. DAVID UMHERGER.
Huntingdon, do., • Dr. J. M. GEMMILL.
Schuylkill, do., GE,ORGE RORM.

Fayette, do., Hon. S. CLEAVENGER.
"A riot took place in Boston on Sunday, caused
by a boatswain and sailors of the U. S. ship Ohio corn
ing across a body of blacks in the street, and swearing
they would not be crowded off the side walk by ne
groes. The blacks appear.to have been insolent, crowd
ing the sidewalk needlessly, and the sailors were quar
relsome; so the result was a general fight, in which the
negroes were severely beaten. All the sailors in the ci
ty rushed to the fray, the blacks were soon missing,
and the h ruse of one named Foreman was badly shat
tered. The Police soon quelled the riot, by tree aid of
clan Firemen. Only one man was stabbed, and none
dangerously wounded.

MR. CLAY NOT YET A CANDIDATE
In reply to a letter of the Chambersburg Clay Club,
Mr. Clay remarks, under date of '2sth July, 1 - 843:
"The time has not yet arrived, I think, when I ought

rues; but we are now upon the matter of astonishment.
Lord Sydenham, like other Governors, gave a review
at Niagaru Fells, principally tc show off the discipline
of one of the English crack Regiments, and his own
state, to such citizens of the United States as could be
induced to go and see the show. He says that he "o
verheard one of them say, guess these Britishers do
it a'most as handsome a 43 the Buffalo citizen militia!'"
Now, Lord Svdenham never heard her Majesty's sol
dicrscalled"firitishers" by any American—never heard
one say a'most;" never heard such a comparison—and
certainly never heard the Buffalo City Guards, call
'ed "Buffalo Citizen Militia." This sentence then is a
pure invention—in plain English, a falsehood. Palpa
bly so is also the following. lie says, “anot her said to
me to-day, meaning, I presume, to pay me the highest
compliment, 'I opinionate that you are very like our old
Hickory; you clowns them everlasting locusts of place
goers, and wont stand no up but your own party. "
Now, "opinionate" is not Amet lean—"very is not
one, and as to the rest, it is such stupid nonsense as an
American could hardly understand, and never uttered.
In all this, his Lordship was guilty of-deliberate and
stupid falsehood. But then he asserts that American
young ladies, employed themselves every morning in
looking into his bed-room, through the windows from
the balcony all the time he was dressing—all the voung:
ladies in the house—he utters a base slander. We
knew Lord Sydenham only as a talented and licentious
man, and Iris relatives by the publication of his letters,
have given him the character among all classes in this
country, and the intelligent of his own, of being a truth
less profligate. We use just such words as the case de

FRAUDS IN THE MOLASSES TRADE---A correspond
cot of the Portland Advertiser complains of a practice,
which he says exists among some of the dealers of mo
lasses in that city. It is that of obtaining sour molas
ses and neutralizing the acid by mixing a few gallons of
lime water with each hogshead. This kind of adul
teration might be easily detected by the use of chemical
tests.
BURKE AND Fox.—At one period of the American
Revolution, both. of these eminent statesmen favored
the cause of the colonists. Fox, speaking subsequent
ly upon a question on which ho and Burke, whom he
denominated his political master, took opposite sides,
used this strong language: "I recollect when we re
joiced at every victory of a Washington, and when we
wept at every defeat of a Montgomery."
A Poon Sexcetknos—A thief, says the Detroit
Advertiser, attempted a few nights ago to break into a
house in thin city, but wan frightened from the premises
by the resistance of the owner. In the hurry and con
fusion of the moment, he left his bundle, which on ex
amination wan found to contain a good suit of clothes
a gold lever watch, and ten dollars in cash. The
spoils fell into the hands of the victor, and have not

STIMULANTS TO GREAT MEN.-4t it interesting to
notice the different articles which have been taken by
eminent men as stimulants to the mental faculties. It
is interesting as showing how diametrically opposite
means may produce the same effect in various systems;
and it is interesting as showing hew much the mind sym
pathises with the body. Haller drank plentifnliy of
water when he wished for great activity of the brain.
Fox, for the same purpose used brandy. The stimu
lants of Newton and Hobbes were the fumes of tobacco.
Those of Pope and Fontenella. strong coffee. Dr.
Johnson, at one period of his life, was a great wine
drinker; hnt in the later part of it. found strong tea a
good substitute. Don Juan is said to have been writ
ten under the influence of gin and water; and it is re
ported that a certain legal lord, of great learning and
talent, plies himself hard with port wine when he wish
es to shine. Pitt was a great drinker of wine. Sher
idan also was fond of his bottle. Dr. Pais tells us
that when Dunning wished to make an extraordinary
display of eloquence, he always put a blister on his
chest a few hours before he was to speak, in order that
it might irritate the btain by sympathy during his speech.

REPEAL IN IREL I.ND-AMERICANS IN
DUBLIN
I should utterly fail in an attempt to describe the
intensity of the Repeal feeling here. It pervades all
classes, cheers all hearts, and absorbs all other thoughts.
The ship-man pays a share of his scanty receipts into
the Repeal Treasury. The Laborer, though more than
half the time unemployed, when fortunate enough to
earn five or six shillings in a week, goes home with it
on Saturday night, and is not allowed by his wife to
use a penny for the food which she and her children
stand in need of, until his dues, as a Repeal Associate,
have been paid. And among the most ' oratifying, fea
tures in this generous devotion of their hard-earnings
to a great pubiic object, is the fact mentioned to me
by an intelligent laborer to-day, that, -but for Father
1 MATTFIEW,• the money which now goes to help us to
the Reposd, would have been spent for whiskey."
S-- I, s fent with me this morning to the Liberator's
House oroLarion Square, where we found him hard at
work, as4fed by Mr. STEELE, the. 'Head Pacificator,"
a Protestant Repealer, of whose personal attachment
, to Mr. O'Connell, hatred of oppression and whole-
hearted devotion to the cause of Irish Liberty, I had
occasion to speak inn former letter.
The presence of half-dozen Americans, at the Re
peal meeting ycaerdar, afforded much and evident_
gratification. Indeed, it was only by assuring them that
iwe were humble citisgens, clesiroas of seeing without
being seem that a popular demonstration of their regard
for :Americans was prevented.—Correspondence of
