THURSDAY, NOVEMPER 9 DEMOCRATIC MEETING.—The democratic meriting on Tuesday• night was sue,/ an one as we expected to see assembled, when the claims of tl:e Democracy of Pennsylvania, ip connection with the merits of her can didate fur the Presidency were to be considered. When we went in, ALEX. BRACKENRIMIE, F,sq., was addressing the meeting. lot cling the personal and political character of the Hon. J A S. Buell ANA N, and the bursts of applatose with which his remarks were received, spewed how completely the meeting was identified with the speaker in feelings of respect and admiration for our great statesman. After Mr. B. had concluded, GEO. STEW ART, Esq., was repeatedly call ed for. In Mr. S's speech he declared that he always had maintained the cardinal principles of democracy, I and although he had beeu found acting with another political party heretofore, henceforth he would be a ; democrat in the strictest sense of the word, and that he would give a hearty and warm support to democratic man and democratic principles. After Mr. &o 'art bad concluded, the committee re ported through their chairman, Hon. C. SIIALER, the resolutions and address. The resolutions were adopted as they were read, and many of them were received with long and eathasiastic cheering. The address is an eloquent a n d powerfully written document, and al though some may attempt to raise objections to the frank mannc.r in which it speaks out the plain yet every hone-tdernocrat in Pennsylvania must admit that it is a candid statement of the present position of affairs; and that the safety of the democratic party re gal.-es that its admonitions should not be passed over lightly. The address and resolutions were written by Judge SIIALER, and they are just such as his fellow citizens Would expect from hint, on a subject in which he felt a warm interest. Pt ' After the report of :heCommittee had been adapted, WrLsos WC:Astacus, Esq. was loudly called for,and addressed :he meeting with much eloquence and spir it. Mr. M:. is always a happy speaker, and possesses the talent as well of sustaining his position with pow erful argument, as of exciting the nth th of his audience to aboisterous degree. He was never more "at home" than on Tuesday evening, and the approbation which his r.2marks e!L!ited, must have been as gratifying to the speaker, as they were cheering for the cause. Dr. E. D. GA.ZZA,DI was next requested to address the meeting. He apologized to the audience for not making n set speech, but stated that he approved of the sentiments of those who had preceded him, and pled. ged himself to doall in his power to advance and for ward the claims of Pennsylvania. After the appointment of a Committee of Correspon dence, and the transaction of some other business, the meeting adjourned We hope to be able to lay the proceedings beforeour readers in to-morrow morning's paper. They would have appeared to-day, but there were some alterations necesi , m7 to be made by the Committee before they could be puliliihrd. "THE A tilltic. , t DEMOCRAT."—This is the title of a new paper started i❑ New York, %%Melt professes to bathe ' - organ of the American Republican party."— The principal objects of the paper are represented to be the "amendment of the 'Naturalization Laws so as to make a residence of 21 years necessary to citizen ship,"—and the repeal of the Common School Law of New York city. The principal occupation of the con ductors of this paper, seems to be, to abuse and de fame these who teach and those who profess the doc trines of the Roman Catholic Church. it is sufficient to determine the character of this pa yer and the party it advocates,that,according to its own showing, MiLe Walsh and his Spartans aro • fri end ly to their cause." This of itself seals the doom of the Atrr...rican Democrat and its sappurteTs. t . ,lrlre observe that the Ladies' Companion gives a brief but candid sort of a criticism on the literary pro ductions of one CORNELIUS Mairums, Esq., who has written much lately for Magazines, &c. It sums his pretensions by liming that he is a "humbug," and sayingbe is "small beer." Mr. Iklarimws was once the editor of a Magazine called "Arcturus," and even Professor 'INGRAHAM and his DA:cm:a FEATHER have not been 'more perseveringly puffed and blown about than this Mr. MarnEws. All would not do, however—he has gone down, anti has thus furnished another gratifying evidence that mere "paffinz," if he has no merit, will nut ke:p a writer up.. Mr. M. thinks hehas immoralized himself by the portrayment of po litical wire-working and intrigue, in a novel called "PutTer Hopkins," upon the authorship of which he seems disposed chiefly to rest his fume. It is beyond question one of the most dull and ridiculous productions ever issued from the press, and botraysatotal ignorance Of the political characters and manoeuvres of which he has attempted a caricature. From the manner in which Mr. M's last publication was received, we presume his literary aspiraiions are dead and buried. It is a plea sant t4ing to note the. extinction of humbugs, and there fore wc hat whet we hope is the close of Mr. Matliet is . literary career. MtatDF.R.—The Sunbury Gazette states that on Monday night last, as three young. men of the place were out gunning. and were crossing a form occupied by William and Robert Hunter, about three miles from the borough, they were assaulted by the Hunters and a John Devaney with clubs and stones, and John Vand ling, a son of Peter Vandling, was so beaten ovet the bead with his gun which had been taken out of his hands, that he died in about twj hours. Oac of the Hunters commenced the assault on the pretence that the party was one with whom he had a previous dispute, and their denial would not satisfy hint. Vandling was a young man of 2:2 years of age, and of a very amiable disposition. The perpetrators of the act were arrested and committed to Cot. JUIINt'ON ty NEw YORK.—This veteran sol dier and democrat presided at a iiepeal meeting in New York. on last Friday evening. and delivered an address whi.th was received with rapturous applause by alarge audience. He left on Saturday for Newark, N.

Rosanna Keen, th•r colored girl who poisoned Mr. Seeley, of Bridgeton, N. . 1.. and whnae execution was to have taken phwe on Friday last, has been re prieved by Gov. Penning,too. She is Learly an The sigiing of her eprieve was nearly the last official act performed by the Governor. AN la POSTER. Pole, who calls hinuclf P. Nu has been perambulating the country, soliciting uid, and exhibiting letters purporting to be written by Abbot Lawrence and Robert G.

Catharines, was destroy ed by fire. The houses were stuated between May's Hotel and Henegan's tavern. On Wednesday week, between five and six o'clock, the church of St Anne des Plaines, in the Seigniory uf Tea reboune, near Mon treal, was entirely destroyed by tire. Everything in the church was destroyed with it. MARS:IA BERTRAND arrived in Baltimore on Sa turday at, and was received by the Mayor and a com mittee of French citizens. The Sun says that on Sun ' day morning he attended the Cathedral with his suite, . and listened to an eloquent sermon from the Rev. Mr. Coakrey, previous to which grand high mass was per formed, accompanied by the excellent sin4ing of the choir. lie retitcd from the Cathedral in company with Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte. At two o'clock in the afternoon he was waited on ut Barmon's by the French citizens in a body and received their respects, appearing highly delighted with their visit. At 12 o'clock on Monday he received a largo num ber of the citizens who , were anxious to pay their re spects to the distinguished stranger. A BANKING BASIS.—A fellow named Stir-r, "nun his credit" recently at New Haven. for some weeks, mainly on th:! strength of a mahogany box, purporting to be full of ama!th, sealed and deposited in the Caul ty bank. On Thursday it was unsealed and soh.mnly opened in the presence of the authorities. It was found to contain smile old newspapers, three cents, and half of a late Morning Courier! So says that paper. ANOTIIEti. MAIL ROBBERY or A P. M.—The St. Louis Gazette of the 30th, gives tho following account of the robberies and forgeries committed by a Post Master in the State of Missouri: Imporlane Robber/.—lmportant losses nil the mail route between Fayette, and Liberty, here taken place recently. On Friday e /ening the 30th, Thornton 11. Freeman, P. M at Carrolton, was arrested in his office, bj the Marshal of the State, in conjunction with the agents of the General l'o*t Office. The papers and testimony on which this arrest was made, clearly show the villany of Freeman, who has committed forgeries without number, and stole without reserve. His escape, which occurred on Saturday, and for which none are blameable. is greatly to be la mented, and wo hope will not be permanent, as a re ward of $l5O is offered, $lOO of which is from the private pockets of Col. NlcHatton, one of the agents, and Mr. Birch, the Marshal. The Marshal has secured, we are informed, $3,300, and there are $2,500 yet m doubt. Of the RIM.; actual ly stolen, in six r.bberies and eight or ten forgeries, $6OO falls upon Woods, Christy & Co., of St. Louis, who adopted unusual precautions, and whose loss we deeply regret;—s4Go upon Mr. Ritchie, oldie Rich mond Enquirer, and the balance is divided between the numerous citizens of Liberty and the Platte country. The remaining sum, not accounted for, is divided be tween a foreigner in the upper country, an officer et the Garrison, an i Dr. Mitchell, the Receiver at Fay ette. REPEAT..-Mr. T. D. Masme, at a late Repeal meet ing in Roxbury, Marls., summed up, in the following brief and pithy sentence, the advantag,es Ireland would realize from Repeal: "Give to Ireland a legislature, a local and responsi ble judiciary. a free church, and within five years the entire condition of the country will be changed. The products of the soil will be more than doubled, manu factures will bein a still greater proportion; education of the masses will be provided for by those whu will feel the necessity for it, and sectarian animosity, now so rancorous, will be extirpated as if by magic. These are the vast consequences which must follow the repeal of the present unjust and unequal union; and they ought to be reached, whether England sinks to a second rate power at not. When England employs her present im mense political pots er fur the benefits of the masses of mankind, it will be time enough for those who live un der other ; , cerement; to concern themselves about her loss of it." THE CLI.EW OF THE GRAMPL7I:; The Baitua ?tilt record 4 the following instance of that generosity and benevolence, which have always char acterise the song of the ocean:— "Tuesday, the lust day of the month, being pay day on hoard the .ret-r-nue cutter Hamilton. Capt Sturgis stated to his crew that the loss of the U. S. schooner Grampus having been confirmed, it was rendered cer tain that many widows and orphans would he left in i destitute circumstances as a consequence of the calam ity,aud would therefore be peculiarly dcsoi ving of the sympathies of the sailors. To give an opportunity to. a!I on board to make such a contribution for the reiief of the unfortunate persons as their feelings might prompt, be had prepared a subscription paper to which those who saw fit might put their names, with the sums they could afford to give. The paper was then circulated. among the crew. and was signed by every man on board from the commander downward—all giving liberally, aceoading tothei r circumstances. The money,amounted to a oonsidexable sum. was collected an the spot, and before-his has been forwarded to those for whose re lief:it-was intended. We .ronsider the circumstance highly honorable to the crew of the Hamilton and their warm hearted commander, and trust the example will not be wjthout as influence in otherquartersond among rhose who ate more able to tol generous." MR. BUCHANAN IN VIRGINIA. We ten gratified to find, from Timmons indicatkets that the mistaken impresion on the minds of many, that Mr. Buchantuesdeserred popularity is confined to l'ennsyliria, is fastgiving place to truth. In plea of the fact that Mr Buchanun's eminent public services and commanding stitesmanship ore appreciated in oth er states, as well tut nur own, we may mention, that a democratic meeting was recently held in Clarke Coun ty, Virginia, at which resolutions were enthusEistically adopted, declaring Mr BUCHANAN as its first choice for the Presidency, and RICHARD M. JOHNSON for Vice President. That would constitute a "team" impossible to beat in Pennsylvania, or, we verily be- Neve, in the Union. Why ought not counsels of wis dom prevail in the National Convention? Whilst the friends of the other candidates have worked their fee lings into a state of feverish excitement, fraught with imminent peril to our success in the coming campaign the name of BUCHANAN would at once harmonize ex isting difficulties, and the agitated waves would be awed into tranquility. We record it as our deliberate conviction that JAMES BUCHANAN is the most avail able, as he is also confessedly among the most able and patriotic of the competitors for the Democratic nomi nation. In support of his pretensions, we shall here after publish copious extra.:ts from the public rapers, an,l sock to enforce them by comments of our own.— Dem • limon CASE OF LIEUT. wYclir, CLOSED. The examination in relation to the death or Eieut Wyche was brsught to close last evenin;. The pro ceediz,gs attic, committee on Thursday will be found on our first page. Yesterday Thomas B Coolidge, Esq, who boards at the Exchanp.. Coffee. House, .estified that the deceased was engaged with him. and others till a quarter before two, and that he was not then drunk. but he had drank a glass of beer during the evening. When the witness was prepttriog to go to bed, the deceased proposed to go out, and would be back in an hour, but witness remonstrated. Amos Pearson, porter of the Exchange, testified that the deceased, at half past two, or a little after, left the house, sayins , that be was going to take a little walk, and would he hack in a short time. Ile did nut per ceive upon hirn any signs of intoxication. Charles Manley, of Portland. saw the deceased at the Exchange (rein ten till half-past one, and w:t3 sure that there was nothing in the appearance, &e. indica tive of intoxication. Li.'ut Parker was re-callod and expres3ed an opin ion, based unauthentic information, that the deceased was not in possession of any largeamount of money on tire night precedinghis death. Dr. Perkins who was a witness before the inquest, was also examined, but his evidence did not come down to a later hour than 10 o'clock. lle, however, assigned a medical reason why the deceased refused to drink during the day and evening when invited. With Dr. P. the investigation closed, and the corn. mittee proceeded to deliberate on their report, which will probably be submi , ted to thecommon council on M.inday evening. It will undoubtedly e,:puess a strong opinion against the manner in which the jury of inquest was made. up. On this point it will he observed, by a reference to the evidence on the first page, that here is a material difference between Col. Pratt, the coroner, and M. Stratton, the officer who butu.noned the jury. —Boston Poet. WHICH IS TEES BRUTE! On Wednesday evening we r; published an anecdote of a dog, that perceiving its little mistress to fill into the water, sprangin and brought her to the shtire, but being unable fully to extricate her, placed her where she could sustain herself, and then scrambled ashore— dragged us it were a young girl , whom he met, to the spot, and with her assistance drew his little friend nut of the water; having done which, he.jumped again into the riser to pick up and bring back her bonnet that had floated off.

RECEIPT FOR MAKING EVERY DAY HAPPY. When you rise in the morning form a resolution to make the day a happy one to a fellow -creature. It is easily done: a left off garment to the man who needs it, a kind word to the sorrowful, an encouraging expres sion to the striving trifles in themselves light as air will do it, at least for the twenty-four hours; and if you ate young depend upon it, it will tell when you are old; and if you are old, rest assured it will send you gently and happily down the stream of human time to eterni ty. By the most simple arithmetical sum, look at the result. You send one person, only one, happily through the day; that is 365 in the course of the year, and sup posing you live forty years only after you commence the course of medicine, you huvo. maJe 14,600 human beings happy, at all events for a time, and this is suppo sing n f relation or friend p:u takes of the feeling and extends the good. Now worthy reader is not this sim ple? It is too short for a sermon, too homely fur ethics, and too easily accomplished for you to say, "I would if could."

In an instant.

Curious at the loss of his mo ney, and more than furious at the monstrous Missis sippi. Ile looked at the plank, the boat, the river, his money, and wound up the survey by venting his spleen as follows: "I've got five dollars in this ere bundle, two in my hand—havejust been ducked—stand five feet ten in my stocking feet—tolerably stout for my ago—rath er mad—and do my cats ill can't fio.z. any man on that boat, for fist fight or rough and tumble!

A FLOATING RAILROAD A Cincinnati correspondent of the Newark Morn ing Post, rives the following description of a new in vention. We cannot say that we have a clear idea of the machine he describes, but perhaps some of our readers more versed in mechanical matters, may: "I was recently invited to witness the operation of the model of a machine (for boat it could not be cal led,) to navigate our inland waters. The inventor is a young mat] of this place, and as is usual in such ca ses, is very enthusiastic in his expectations of its capa bilities and powers. He says, that the passage hence to Pittsburgh, (500 miles) can easily be performed by day-light. ft may very properly be denominated a floating railroad—or a rail road which lays its own track, and takes it up again when the passage over it has been made. It may be thus described; a series of oblong, air and water tight sectior s of any ty (piked length, breadth, and depth are firmly secured side by side, upon an endless chain: this chain is distended to its utmost, upon a series of cast iron wheels, support ed by shafts, upon a suitable frame work. These wheels are put into motion, by the means of the steam engine. The frame work with its engine boilers nod wheels, may be called the locomotive; the chain, with its floating power of its water tight sections, the rail road. When it is placed upon the water, and the en gines are put in motion, the endless chain (or railt mid) ' traverses the surface of the paddles or wheels, by which the sections upon the chain, in succession, are curried fore . ard and enters the water, each doing its , part in supporting the whole fabric, and are a g ain ta ken up in theirendless round at the stern wheel. Ono very novel characteristic of this machine is, its adap tation to either water or lands so that it need not be re, Larded by sand bars or low Water. This is obvious when it is observed, that the floats or sections, during the time they are beneath the frame work, (and of course supporting the whole) do not advance at all, but remain stationary, while the wheels pass over them; when they leave the water or land, however, they go rapidly forward to redeem their places on the forward part of the craft, and to bear up the structure. Upon the frame work which supports the engine, &e., and above the chain and floats, the cabin for the accommo• dation of passengers is to be created. That this thing will move rapidly through or over the water I have ne doubt, but think the eathusiastic inventor has over ess timated its powers, or set ton low an estimate upon the resistanre it will meet with from the element through which it is to p ass , (Gammon?'
