On Saturday next, delegates will be elected
by theTemocracy to meet on the Wednesday
following, in Convention, to select candidates
for the important offices of Congress, Senate,
Assembly, Sheriff, Prothonotary, County
Commissioner, Auditor, Coroner, and Director
of the Poor. The character of the men to be
selected will be determined by the delegates.
Care should, therefore, be taken in the city
and county, that good reliable Democrats be
chosen; not mere tricksters who may have
some particular object to accomplish, and
are willing to sacrifice all things else, even to
the disorganization of the party to obtain it.
-We have enough of good Democrats in Alba"
gheny County to attend to this matter, with
out being placed in leading strings by Re
publicans and interested sore-heads. We
want no leaders other than those who have
been identified with the party for years, we
do not even desire their advice as to the proper
management of a campaign, much less their
unbidden interference. We are induced to
these remarks from the fact that a few, calling
themselves democrats, are to be found con
sorting with the enemy, who are covertly
making arrangements to disturb the harmo
ny of the coming Convention. Let good men
be nominated, but let no man have the hardi
hood to offer a name unless he can present a
clear, democratic record. We want no mon
grel ticket. We hope, therefore, great cau
tion will be exercised in the selection of dele
gates on Saturday, who will be able to stand
up to the old landmarks and place such a
ticket in the field as will command the respect
of the people, and it will surely be elected.
The Election In Kansas --. The Vote
Against Ad:swag:on.
The Washington Urzion, of Tuesday, in ref
erence to the elections in Kansas, says that
the results leave no doubt of the refusal of the
people to be admitted into the Union on the
terms proposed in the Conference Bill of the
last session. The people of Kansas have had
a sad experience, as tools in the hands of
demagogues who have used them to effect
political results outside of the Territory. It
is not surprising, the excitement of the past
having subsided, that they should feel disin-,
dined to pat on the habiliments of State, and
incur, at a moment of pecuniary pressure, the
largely increased expenses of an establish
ment of their own.
Kansas, by the force of circumstances, to
which we need not refer, has been a purely
exceptional case. Being drawn into the vor
tex of the political whirlpool and made merely
instrumental in the work of advancing the
fortunes of a distant, but reckless fanaticism,
it became necessary, if possible, to remove
all causes for continued excitement by the
prompt admission of the State into the Union,
even when it was known that there was not a
sufficient number of inhabitants to entitle
them to one member of Congress. All efforts
to pacify the people, however, having been
unavailing, and seeing how demagogues were
likely stato exercise supreme control in the
Territory, it was the dictate of patriotism to
overlook entirely the question of numbers and
admit them into the family of States. The
terms of admission finally arranged by Con.
gress were liberal, and the question whether
they desired' to become a State was finally
submitted to them. They decided in the
negative.
This result we do not regret. There is no
longer any reason for treating Kansas as ex
ceptional to the general rule prevailing in
reference tc the admission of neiv States into
the Union. Justice to the people of other
Territories requires that they shall have a
sufficient population, before admission, to
entitle them at least to one representative in
Congress. About one hundred thousand
people is, and ought to be, the lowest number
entitled to such admission. There are no well
grounded grievances in remaining under ter•
ritorial forms, and this seems to be the judg
ment of the Kansas people. They have deci
ded thus to remain, and, as they have at
length come to realize that peace is better
than _rebellion, we trust that they will now
wait till their numbers call for a change of
government.
TEE Republican Convention of Fayette
county met on Monday, August 9th, and
nominated Amzi Faller for Legislature ;
Enoch Abrams for Commissioner, and Dr.
J.' B. Barclay for Coroner.
The Convention was a stormy one, and
adjourned without making any nomination
for Congress—Seth T. Hard, of the Browns
ville Clipper, strongly urging a different
course—but being opposed by Jake Miller,
of the American Standard, and Hon. An
drew Stewart, (" Tariff Andy") he could
make no impression on the delegates, who
voted largely to make no nomination.
The sparring between Miller and Hurd
was amusing, and Hurd retired completely
crest fallen to seek consolation in some of
"Enoch South's" best.
The Atlantic Telegraph Oonneetions
The Philadelphia Ledger says that the At
lantic Telegraph, after it reaches Trinity Bay,
is connected with land and submarine tele
graphs for over a thousand miles before it
reaches the United States. At one place it
runs for four hundred miles through a wil
derness difficult to reach, and where it is ex
posed to continued accidents and interrup
tions. This makes the telegraph across the
British provinces unreliable and so frequent
ly out of order. Now that the Atlantic con
nection is m a d e , an d t h e b us i ness o f the two
continents depending upon the certainty of
prompt transmission of despatches, these in
terruptions will impair the usefulnCss of the
Ocean Telegraph. This makes it essential
that a cable shall be laid directly to the terri
tories of the United States, which would
avoid all these interruptions, for the tele
graphic lines in the United States can be
reached with facility by railroad, and any
difficulty in the working be immediately re
moved. The public attention now, however,
is turned to the subject of the power to send
despatches through the submarine cable.—
'Upon this depends its utility as an instru
ment of intelligence. When that is success
fully demonstrated, which is the cause of the
present dslay in the public use of the ocean
Telegraph, the success of the undertaking
will : be complete.
VARIOUS THINGS
—Mr. J. S. Itarey, the horse-tamer of Euro
pean celebrity, is said to have made one hundred
thousand dollars by teaching his art, before the
republication in London of his pamphlet, fully
exposing the secrets of his success, destroyed
his occupation.
—A late Parisian invention consists in making
a parasol so that it can be folded in the form of
a fan, instead of folding it is the common man
ner. A small plate of brass is attached to the
end of the shank of the parasol, and on the two
sides of this plate two other plates are hinged.
To these latter, the ribs of one half of each plate
of the parasol are secured by joints which only
allow them to move in the same plane of the
plate. The two sides of the parasol fold to
gether like a fan, and the shank or handlo is
jointed, to fold between the two in the usual man
ner.
—There is to bo a pigeon shooting tourna
ment at Lafayette, Indiana, on the 22d, 23d,
24th, and 25th days of September. As it is
anticipated that sportsmen and the crack shots
of 'the United States and Canada will attend,
several thousands of wild pigeons have been pro
vided for the occasion.
—On the 24th of July, Messrs. Fowler and
Kitson sold at Saint Paul, a lot of 18,740 skins,
consisting of black, silver, red and kit fox, mar
ten, mink, fisher, otter, raccoon, swan, skunk,
wolverine, and muskrat, to Mr. J. C. Mayer of
New York, for $18,649, cash on delivery of the
goods at St. Paul.
--The city of Providence, R. 1., has decreased
in population during the past year from 1500 to
1800. There aro in that city some 400 unoccu-
pied tenements.
—The vineyards about Cincinnati are attacked
by a species of rot, which will make the grape
crop a perfect failure.
—The late experiment made on the Erie Canal,
N. Y., to substitute steam for horse power, has
resulted very satisfactorily. The steam canal
boats run with half the cost, and twice the speed
at least. It seems to be conceded that this ex
periment will work a complete revolution in pro
pelling boats.
—Rev. Alex. H. Vinton, D. D. has resigned
the rectorship of St. Paul's Church is Boston,
and accepted that of the "Church of the Holy
Trinity," in Philadelphia. Dr. Vinton has been
rector of St. Paul's since Jane, 1842.
—Dr. Mainsoneuvr's new system of avoidance
of amputati6n in cases of injured limbs, has
been presented to the Academie de Medicine, at
Paris, and is said to have been tried in various
hospitals with EUCOC.F.S. The i , ..vention consists
in the application of a machine by which a limb
is said to be torn from the socket without pain
or loss of blood, the patient in some teen
being completely restored in the coarse of a few
days
—A good type-caster can cast on an average
60 medium size nonpareil types per minnte,
which amounts to 3600 per hour, and to 36,000
in a day of ten hours. A caster's hand travels
2 feet 9 inches during the casting of each type
consequently it travels in a day of ten hours,
99,000 feet, or 18 miles or over 5,800 miles in
a year, (omitting Sundays.)
0. W. Field's Journal.
The Philadelphia Press thus eloquently dis
courses. " That daily journal, which has al
ready
been eagerly perused by millions in
this country, and will be translated into
every language and every dialect in foreign
lands, simply tracBs the whole course of that
last experiment, which so few hoped «Add
terminate favorably as it has done. In every
country where Civilization has reared be:
" Excelsior" banner, and in many places
where she is yet unknown, this short and sim
ple record will be eagerly read. In the lux
urious East, in the spicy groves of Ceylon, in
the yet almost untrodden plains of Australia,
in the icy altitudes of Siberia, in the sandy
deserts of Africa, in the vast-extended plains
of South America, in every part of Europe,
in the multitudinous islands of the Pacific—
by sea and by land, in camp and court, in the
cottage as well as in the palace, Mr. Field's
unassuming, but most effective, narrative will
be read and will be re-read, while language is
perpetuated by printing, far into the great
eternity of all future mundane time.
It is, indeed, one of the greatest composi
tions ever published—so brief, so concentrat
ed, and yet so very explicit and eloquent in
that brevity and concentration. A great in
tellect deeply imbued with the finest spirit of
humanity, has evidently been employed upon
it. The achievement which it records requir
ed a great mind to trace its final steps, day
by day, hour by hour, until the glorious con
summation came.
Compared with this, how feeble and how
diffuse appear all the despatches and procla , .
mations of mighty conquerors! The narra
tives of Xenophon and Ctear, brilliant as we
have been used to account them, seem dull
beside this most unpretending "daily jour~
nal" of Mr. Field. The despatches of Marl
borough, Wellington, Napoleon, and our own
General Scott, seem cold when we read this
narrative of the greatest victory of all—the
triumph of Science over natural difficulties
considered almost unsurmountable, the tri
umph of Mind over Matter.
Coal is sent from the Wyoming Valley to
Middle and Western New York. One hun
dred and seventy tons arrived in boats at
Rochester one day last week, from the Pitts
ton mines. It was sent by the North Branch
Canal to Elmira, thence by the Chemung Ca
nal, and Seneca Lake and Erie Canal, a dis
tance of 340 miles. It is sold when it gets
there at 85 50 per ton, a dollar cheaper than
the usual price in Rochester. The Roches
terians are quite elated to think that they can
have a constant and sufficient supply for
their wants, so readily obtainable and at so
cheap a price.
Imperial Photographs
The highest style of the daguerrean art has
been attained by Brady, of New York. His
photographs, called imperial, appear to have
all the distinctness of the finest steel engrav •
ing, with the softness of a Mezzotint. We
noticed yesterday, at Gillespies, the familiar
faces of William M. Shinn, Esq., Josiah King
and Charles Avery, deceased, by Brady, which
surpass, for correctness and finish, anything
we have ever seen from any other artist.
The Yellow Fever in Havana
The arrival daily of vessels at quarantine,
in New York and Philadelphia, from Ha
vana, with numerous cases of yellow fever,
proves how necessary it is to maintain a strict
guard over the public health by keeping all
vessels, suspected of being tainted by this
disease, at a safe distance from the cities.—
One vessel at New York lost thirteen of her
crew from yellow fever.

Gerrit Smith Accepts
The celebrated Gerrit Smith of Now York,
is fairly in the field as a candidate for Gov
ornor of the Anti-Slavery Temperance party.
He writes a long letter of acceptance, and
closes in the following words :
I cannot close without expressing my confi
dence that you and your associatca have in this
use of my name had a far higher object than to
make war upon the parties. It is true that you
have acted without their leave. But it is also true
tbat your clear right to do so has been exeroiced
in no belligerent nor defiant spirit. Nor can I
close without expressing my confidence that your
nomination is the offspring not, of personal at•
taohment, but of devotion to those principles
which shall live when you and I are forgotten.—
Hence I expect that you will drop my name
should any of the parties nominate for Governor
a man on whom you can rely for such services
as you are seeking at my hands. And you are
by no means to despair of their doing so. The
Temperance Convention may do so. So may the
Republican Convention. Possibly the Native
American also. Whichever shall do so shall not
lack our cordial co-operation. The parties may
be restrained by foolish pride, from concurring
in your nomination. But nothing of that will
restrain you from concurring in theirs. A parti
zan rather than not gratify his party spirit might
consent to see the cause of freedom and the
cause of temperance both perish. But as your
first and last object in this movement is the pro
motion of these causes, so your votes are ready
for any man of any party whose election will be
most likely to serve this object most efficiently.
Respectfully yours, GERRIT &SITU.

reduce such proroi Lions from tha prices then
and there established.
J. A. Burch, of the Buffalo and Erie It R.,
also gave notice to the Convention that he was
inatruoted to oppose auy reduction of the pro
portions going to the Buffalo and Erie Railroad
Company, and that they should insist upon be
ing allowed t.be proportions ef fares adopted at
the Indianapolis Coevention on the 14th of

Allen Butler, of the N. Y. Central Railroad,
stated to the Convention that the N. Y. Central
Railroad Company will assume the redaction
which would fall upon the Buffalo and Erio Rail
road, from Buffalo to Erie.
Gen. P. W. Strader, of the Ohio & Miesiesippi
Railroad, represented to the Convention t.4at he
had been advised that many of the Western
Companies had refused to comply with the or
ders of the Cleveland meeting of July 21st ;
that many roads wore rietteting ever the New
York and Erie; and that thou„ ,gage decline
sharing a pro
,rata of the reduction upon New
York tickets. Ho also stated that many of the
roads wished the rates of the Indianapolis Con
vention reetered ; that be had, on July 22d, tele
graphed the General Western agent of his Corn•
patsy to confer with the Terra Haute & St. Lou
is and Chicago & St. Louis roads, and Take the
reduction immediately ; that the Terra Haute a
St. Louis and Chicago & St. Louis Roads refused
to make the reduction, eonsequence of which
his road was selling at full rates, and that the
0 & M. R. It. would abide by the action of the
Terra Haute & St. Louie and Chicago & St.

The N. Y. Central and the N. Y. and Erie de
clining to vote.
The representatives of the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne & Chicago, the Baltimore & Ohio, and
the Pennsylvania Central Railroads stated that
they would be willing to advance the rates, but
that. it would bo useless to do so, even if the
other Western Roads declined pro rating the re
duced rates, from the fact that the redaction of
three dollars by the New York and Erie and
New York Central Roads rendered it necessary
for those roads to sell at the reduced rates.
The following preamble and resolution was
offered for the consideration of the Convention,
and after discussion was laid upon the table :
Whereas, the Michigan Southern, Michigan
Central and Buffalo and Erie Railroads, peremp
torily decline to pro rate any reduction in fares
or freight in favor of or against any line not in
immediate oonneotion, thereby making it unequal
aed inexpedieet for other Western roads to pro
rate the redaction of three dollars in fares with
the N. Y. Central, Pennsylvania, and Baltimore
and Ohio Railroads, as against the N. Y. and
Eric Railroad. Therefore,
Resolved, That we recommend to the proper of
ficers of the several roads represented by us, to
decline making any reduction in favor of said N.
Y. Central, Pennsylvania, and Baltimore and
Obio roads, or against the New York and Erie
Railroad, notice of which, if approved by said
officers, shall be given to the three roads above
named.
After a full and free discussion and consulta
tion between the members of the Association
present, finding it Impossible to agree upon any
division of the reduced rates between she Atlan
tic seaboard and the western points which would
be satisfactory, the Convention adjourned sine
die.
The Jews In Parliament.
In the Commons on the 261 of July, at the
morning sitting, Baron P. N. do Rothschild, in
troduced by Lord J. Russell and Mr. Smith, pre
sented himself at the table to be sworn.
A copy of the new oath being offered to him,
he stated to the speaker that he had a conscien
tious objection to taking the oath in the form
tendered to him, and he was thereupon request•
ed to withdraw.
Lord J. Russell then mewl a resolution in
conformity ivith the act, to the effect that the
Baron, a person professing the Jewish religion,
was prevented from sitting and voting in the
House by reason of his conscientious objection
to take the oath in the form required by the act.
After some remarks by Mr. Warren, it was
agreed to.
Lord J. Russell then moved a further resolu
tion, likewise in pursuance of the act, that
any person professing the Jewish religion may,
henceforth, on taking the oath, prescribed in an
act of the present session of Parliament, to enti
tle him to sit and vote in this House ; omit the
words 'and I make this declaration on the true
faith of a ohristian."'
Mr. Warren said he should take the sense of
the House upon this resolution.
The House was divlded, and the resolution
was carried by 67 to 37.
Baron Rothschild then reappeared at the table,
and having been sworn upon tho Old Testament,

Origin of the Oceanic Telegraph.
The idea of an elictrio telegraph across the
Atlantic was broached and discussed some years
ago in England ; but no effective, step was taken
to carry it into execution. It is but fair, how
ever, to mention that the formation of the New
York, New Foundland, and London Telegraph
Company, in 1854, grew out of the failure of a
company which preceded it, called the New
foundland Telegraph Company, organized in
1852, by Mr. Frederic Gisborne, for the purpose
of connecting St. Johns, Newfoundland, with the
continent of America, and which was incorpo
rated by the Legislature of Newfoundland, and
sustained for a short time by ono or more capi
talists in this city. These having suddenly wh
held their support at a very early stage of the
operations of the Company, the undertaking coin
lapsed, leaving Mr. Gisborne in circumstances
of great embarrassment; after having not only at
great personal hazard and with much labor ex
plored the route across the island in 1851, but
in the two succeeding years devoted hie time,
means, and energy to the proseenticn of the
work. It was amid the difficulties and embar
rassments in which ha was placed that Mr. -Gis:
borne, in the winter of 1854, brought tho mat
ter under the notice of Mr. Cyrus W. Field, who
took it in hand, enlisted powerful allies in its
support, and obtained a now and much more ex
tended charter from the Government of New
foundland, having reference not only to the con
nection of that island with this continent, but
with Europe. Mr. Gisborne anted as the engi
neer of the company in the completion of the
line across Newfoundland. As yet, however, no
actual progress had been made towards estab
lishing the ocean Telegraph • and it was not rm.
til the autumn of 1856, when Mr. Field, who
had proceeded to England for the purpose, by
great exertions and perseverance succeeded in
effecting the formation of a distinct company for
acoompliehing this cooly and hazardous enter
prise. Of this company, In which he took a
very large portion of the stock, he has been the
life and soul. At the earnest and repeated so
licitation of the shareholders who committed
their Interests entirely to his care, he assumed
the chief managemenz ; and to his ardor and de
votion to the cause, to hisindomitableienergy un
der successive disasters, in the face of which it
seemed madness to persevere, the final triumph
ant success, under Providence, is duo ; and to
him is cheerfully paid, by two grateful nations,
the high honor he so eminently deserves.

Age and Debility.
As old ago comes creeping on, it brings many
tendant infirmatlea. Loss of appetite and weakness
impair the health, and want of notivity makes the
mind discontended and unhappy. In oases where
old age adds its influence, It Is almost Impossible to
add vigor and health, and although many remedies
have been tried, all have failed, until B(EREAVE'S
HOLLAND BITTERS were known and used. In
every case where they have been employed they
have invariably given strength and restored the
appetite. They have become a great agent for this
alone, and aro used by many people who are suffer.
ing from loss of appetite and general debility. In
oases of long standing chronic diseases, they act as
a charm, invigorating the system, thus giving nature
another opportunity to repair physical injules. •

R.ETT, OF THE NEW YORK LUNG INPIBM
ARY..—My connection for the past eight years with the
above Institution, as Chief Physician, and a twelve years'
coarse of steady devotion to the Lured Pulmonary Con
sumption and Its - kindred inseam, together with my un
rivalled opportnnitlee and advantage of pathological research
—aided not a little by a perfect system, of Medical Iduaa
lion—has enabled mo to mere at a decisive, direct and MC
aural course of treatment far tho positive and radical care
of all direness of the Throat, Lungs, and Air-Par:ages. By
Inhalation, the vapor and critative'propeitles of medicines
are directly hdressed'to the diseased drgani and the Integra
meat. Ido not adze the use of Medical Inhalation of any
kind, to the exalt:pion Omura treatment; and although I
consider it a gaefpl adjavant in the proper management of
those Muted aud.eften fatal diseases, yet I deem it very ne
cessary that each patient should have the benefit of both
geveral and local treatment. The success of my treatment
in the above diseases, and the high character of the Institta
tion over which I have so long had the honor to preaide,are
too well known to need any eulogy or oomment from me.
At the solicitation of many private and professional friends,
through whose philanthropic aid the above charity has been
long and.llborally supported, and alter due consideration, I
have concluded to make such arrangements as will'bring
the benefits of my experiments and treatment within the
reach of all, and cot confine myself, as heretofore, to those
onlyho entered the Infirmary, or whe word able to visit
