Heartily ashamed of themselves for the course which they pursued in refusing to en. dorso the principles of the party and its pub lic men, those who managed the recent Dem. ocratic Convention,so astutely as they thought, and so foolishly as they have since aseer' tained, are not content to bear the burthen of their own folly, nor take the responsibility of the injury which they have done to the Dem, ocratio cause, but are attempting, by the most glaring falsehoods, to cast opprobrium upon the Post, because it has not, like these disorganizers, chanOd its opinions, but still adheres to the principles of National Democ racy, and supports the measures of the pub lio men who have been elected as the expo nents of those priftpi ples. As a matter of course these partiesieek the columns of the opposition press as The medium of their - at , tacks upon us, knoWing that whatever is an' ti%Democratic is welcome to these journals. In the True Press of Saturday, side by side with a leading article of the blackest Black Republican and rankest Abolition tendency, appears an article of a column, by the style of which we think we recognize the author. This article is but a tissue of misrepre. sentations and falsehoods regarding the Post and its editor. Such attacks upon us fall harmless, so far as the Democracy is con cerned, for they know the. high Democratic ground which the Pastime taken, and approve it, and besides the medium of publication reaches very few of the real Democracy out side the two cities. In this article we are charged with favoring the call for a new convention. The writer in the True Press knew that this was untrue when he wrote it. He knew that, again and again, we had declared that the Post would support the ticket regularly nominated by the delegates of the' party, on the 18th of August. He knew that when this new convention was tiret mooted, the Post at once and i set terms denounced the movement as anti•)emocretie and useless. lie knew that week before last we spoke of this convention in the following words, which we quote, and' ho also knows that the call for the convention appeared in our advertising columns without reference, note, or comment. When we first heard of this new conven tion movement, we said : The Convention of Wednesday last was the regularly called and regularly organized Con vention ofe Democracy of Allegheny county. Its delegates ere elected by the people, and ir)rrep resented t e people. The ticket which it mein- United, and which may be found at the head cf the editorial columns of the Post, is the regular Democratic Ticket, and as such we shall give it our most hearty enppnrt. We are nut content that the Conventien should have ignored the great national principles of the party, and re fused to endorse cur Democratic President.— But this new movement is anti-Democratic, and should ba frowned down by every true Demo• crat. The men who are endeavoring to get up this affair, endorse the platform of the Conven tion, which we do not, bat bating failed to se cure such nominations as they sought, they oh • jeat t? the ticket. We support the ticket be: cause it is a good one, and above all, because it is the Democratic ticket. The Pan 18 not ao• oustomed to get "srveheaded," because it can not have things its own way. It is a Democratic papiz, and w - ill support Democratic doetrinee.— A:ny movement calculated to weaken the strength of the ticket which our Co'nvention has nomi nated, will meet with no favor from the Pol. In the face of this the True Press writer, with favoring the call for a new charges us wi Convention. The lie is cut out of the whole cloth, and betrays the character of the man who wrote it. The reasons given for our al. leged favoring of a movement, which we have from the first openly and firmly disapproved, are as untrue, and foreign to our feelings as the - bold lie, upon which the writer founds them, The chief allegation made againsi us, is that we are in favor of the election of J. K. Moorhead, for Congress, that he is our " patron " &c. &c. Neither pecuniarily. nor politically, have we the slightest con nection with the Black Republican Know Nothing candidate for Congress. His Know Nothingism is hateful to us, as it must be to every true Democrat, and the fact that he is a turncoat, has destroyed all respect which we may have had, in former years when he was a Democrat, for him as a politician. His dark lantern proclivities, if nothing else, will preclude us from favoring the election of James K. Moorhead for Congress, or any other office. The charge that we are, in some unexplained way, under peen., niary obligations to Mr. Moorhead, and oth er railroakl men, has been industriously cir culated by interested parties. The charge is a wholesale fabrication—a willful and mali emus lie, and those who circulate it know it to be so. Once before, the True Press has made a similar charge, and then, as we do now, we challenged them to the proof, offering them the privilege of an examination of our books and papers to aid them in their re searches for evidence to sustain them in their falsehoods. The Post belongs to us, and no politician nor corporation, either di rectly or indirectly, has a dollar of interest, or a particle of influence or control, in the establishment. It is our earnest desire to de vote it to the best interests of the national Democratic party, and this we have done ac cording to our poor ability. , In pursuing a strait forward Democratic course, we cannot expect to escape the attacks of professed Black Republican journals like the True Press, nor of such democratic writers for it as were unwilling to endorse the administra tion under which they hold office. They find the position in which they have placed them selves a galling one, and that the true De mocracy is restive at the attempt to sink the great principles which bind them together un der a sinele local issue, no matter how impor tant it may Le. These men have shorn the Democratic party of its strength. Like Samp son when his hair was lost, they have taken away the prestige of its power. Mit it will grow again, and pull down their temple of Dagon upon their own heads. The general charges which the writer iii the 7i-ue Press makes against us of being a " rich man's tool, " " advocating monopoly, " being "destitute of moral and. political principles, and " scheming to betray the party," we have too much self-respect to reply to. A column of epithets and hard names from that writer in the columns of any Black Republican jour nal as the Press is, would not disturb our equanimity, nor in the slightest degree annoy us.

The columns of the Post are the best refu tation which can be given of the falsity of the trumped up charges which this Democratic office holder, in his chagrin at the fix in which he finds himself, has made against us. What ever he and his compatriots may, in their wisdom, choose to do, we shall continue, as heretofore, to advocate the principles of the National Democracy—to sustain our present excellent Administration, and do all that lies in our power for th© election of the sound Democratic State and County ticket which is at the head of our columns.

Liberty of the Press In Mexico The government of Mexico does not have any \very exalted opinion of the freedom of the press. It has just fined the editor of the Mexican Extraordinary one thousand dollars, and ordered him not to publish any political news of the country, on pain of more severe penalties, banishment, imprisonment, • or something of the kind. All of the other in dependent journals have been silenced, but none fined. The Cable and the South The Cable Demonstration, or National Ju bilee, on Wednesday, did not extend further South than Philadelphia. Notwithstanding that the Cable is to "benefit cotton," the Southern mind seems to have a strong im pression that it may be used for purposes of private speculation. Hence there , was no public demonstration in that quarter, and the Southerners say the Northerners are a little demented to be making such a fuss over a work which is so liable to abuse, and the the temptations to mismanage which are so very strong.

On the 13th of July, last year, we publish , . ed a full exposition of the position of our city in regard to the interest upon its bonds issued to railroads, explaning that Pittsburgh had no legal power to raise money, either by taxation or loan, for this purpose, without an act of the Legislature. In regard to ability to pay, our city still stands where it did when that article was written. The question of ability is now before the court, and when they shall have decided we have no doubt the law will be sustained. The writer of the follow ing letter had addressed the Mayor of our city relative to bonds which he held, and a copy of our exposition of the state of the case was at that time sent to him. After waiting a year and more, he has again written to us, and we give below a translation of his letter to show the regard in which our city is held abroad, on account of the nonpayment of the interest upon its railroad issues FRAFIKPORT ON THE-MAIN. July 80,1858. To the Editor of the Morning PoBt:—My Dear Sir :—Not being acquainted with the English lan. guage, I hope you will pardon MO for addrossing you in the French, doubting not that both is your character as an editor and an erudite man, you are perfectly familiar with it. You will most certainly remember publishing in your paper of the 13th of July, 1857, an official an swer to a letter which I had addressed to the honors. ble Mayor of your city, concerning the repudiation of the payment of interest on bonds given by the city of Pittsburgh, in favor of certain railroads. According to this article, it was palpable that your city was responsible for the interest oa these bonds, and for this purpose oho had pledged, not only her honot, but her entire property, revenues, and credit. I beg you will re read the article I refer to, which so frankly declares and confesses to the whole world the legal responsibility of your city for their railroad bonds ; and that if there have boon faults and frauds they shall alone inure to the injury of their authors. Your article has been properly appreciated by all bondholders, and has had the effect of making them patient until each time as the city can procure the money according to the Erma of law. You, perhaps, sir, can imagine what is thought of the proceedings of the authorities of your city, who have not only conetant'y refused to pay Its debts, but have also declared them to be illegal, nod con eequently under no obligation whatever to pay them. You have succeeded by such notion in gaining a most moan and dishonest reputation, and you now rank below cities and counties of much less importance— as the cities of Cleveland and Louisville, and tho counties of Stark, Fayette, Bourbon, Muskingum and Mason—which likewise have been unfortunate with their Railroad bonds, but which, nevertheless, have too mush honor to let the bondholders suffer. I belioveeults have beep, or will shortly be, brought against the city of Pittsburgh for its bad faith, and In America, where the law alone is supreme, there w ill be found Judges of honor and integrity who will not permit repudiation to disgrace your people. But in the meantime, the boldcra of your bonds, (for the most part persons of mall moans, who bought them, not for sp,ralation, but to have a sure income from their capital, hating every confidence in the hon. esty and ability of y,ur large and wealthy city,) are nearly reduced to penury and want. It may bo that those persons who are opposed to making payment, will be unable to see the force of your arguments, and will only succumb to the strong arm of the law. But lam oneftdent that the author is in every sense a just and honest man, and that the editors and proprietors of the Aforning Poi: will never cease to expose and condemn the evil designs of some of the most prominent men, perhap., in your city. Your °Weans certainly cannot be aware of the dis. grace which your city is accumulating, notwith. standing the efforts of mon of honesty in opposing those who have rained yonrgood name. It is high time, sir, that your papers take upon themselves the defence of justice, and I hope the artio:e of July 13, 1857, will be followed by others still stronger. Assuredly you appreciate the wrong which exits ; and I hope you will have the goodness to speak fre quently to your readers concerning 1t; that you may do your share in regaining that esteem which has been lost by the influence and action of persons with excessively minute minsoionces,—(gene psu de con. ecieneeux ) Be pleased, sir, to accept of nu most sincere grati tude, and that of all interested, for your efforts in our behalf, and receive assurances of my most perfect conetderattou and esteem. The Homicide at Fincastle, Virginia-. Wo stated a day cr two ago that on Thursday, last, James McDowell, President of the Farmers' BALL of Fincastle, Va., was shot in hie office by Henry W. Bowyer, a highly respectable acd wealthy farmer of that county. A letter to the Richmond Enquirer, written, enys : An exciting court, was held to day, which committed Mr. Bowyer for trial before the Cir cuit Court. The testimony before the examin ing court went to show that. Mr McDowell had seduced a weak-minded daughter of Mr. Bow yer'e from her home, and furnished her with a way-bill and aleuey to go North, where ho would meet and provide for her comfort; that he had urged her to this course ou the ground that he had learned that some one intended to write an anonymous letter to her father acquainting him with their intimacy, &3., and that if her father found it oat he would probably kill her. That five of Mr. Bowyer's servants had frequently carried notes from Mr. M. to Mies B.; that Mr. t i M. had beet requently seen prowling about the premises of r. B. late of evening, and that Miss B. ha been seen on the same evenings sauntering in 603 same 'direction ; that Miss B did leave home and was found by her brother, Who wont in pursuit, iu the city of Baltimore, in a suspicious house. Mr. M'Dowoll also loft home a few days after Miss B. left, and was ab sent some time. Mr. Bowyer brought his daugh ter from Baltimore, and placed her in charge of Dr. Stribbling, of the Western Lunatic Asylum, after which the shooting occurred, which resulted in the death of Mr. McDowell. Mr. Bowyer is, in all respects, one of our very best citizens—remarkably gentle and courteous in his intercourse with his neighbors, and peace ful in all his counsels. The Charleston News gives the following ac count of the slaver Putnam, captured by the Dolphin : " Upon clambering up the side of the brig, a strange and startling sight presented Itself—a deck covered with native Africans in a state of complete nudity, with rare instances of a nar row strip of rag, an inch wide, round the waist. These people were seated, for the most part, with their legs stretched out flat or drawn up in front or doubled up; some squatted on their feet and hands. A few were standing about and a few lying down. None were tied or fastened in any way. The majority were veryyoung, ap parentiy•from eight to sixteen years of age— some yotinger and some older ; scarcely one, however, was over twenty five. Some of them were able-bodied, good-sized and in good case, but the greater part were half-grown children only, weak and worn. " Many were much emaciated, and showed plainly the effects of their long and crowded passage in a confined ship. A few were evidently ill and soon to die. All were pure Mack in color, except the dropsical, whdse skins were tawny from disease. Their hair is very short and crisp. Those who were well, appeared curious and pleased, some of them ogling and giggling and chattering, and others smoking tobacco out of short cloy pipes with cane stems, just as our own negroes do. Those that were thin and sick looked dull and brutisb, bht there was nothing wild or ferocious in their aspect. They lookod amiable and docile, and readily obeyed the com mands of the person who has charge of them. They are great thieves, however, and appropri ate whatever they can on every occasion. There were 246 males and 60 females, who were kept separate on deck and in the hold. The men and boys were kept on the forward deck, and in the forward hold, which latter is 65 feet long, 19 feet wide in the broadest part, and narrow at the head, and 44 inches high, the floor being formed of loose boards, moveable at pleasure. The hold for the women and girls is behind this. It Is of the same height, 12 feet long and 19 wide. Under this temporary flooring is stored the pro visions, consisting of rice, peas and the water to drink. Their food is boiled like " hoppinjohn," put in buckets twice a day, at 10 and 4 o'clock, and placed In the midst of circles of eight cr ten each, and well guarded to prevent the strong negroes from taking more than their shore, al though all are liberally &Hewett, " A pint of water is given to each, morning and evening. Most of them sleep on deck, be ing placed in close order, spoon fashion, on their sides, and not permitted to turn or move during the night. At daylight they are dashed with buckets of water to wash them off. They sing songs, clapping their hands and rocking their bodies in time, and these songs have a oreat re semblance to some of our negro spirituals." $2.1,00G,000, DEAR HUGGIING.—An editor in lowa has been fined $2OO for hugging Ei6 young lady in church.

MANORESTEIR. EDWARD MAGEE, Doeatics■ on Lager Beer Doesticks ii9B been trying to asortain by ex periment, whether or not lager iv intoxioating, and below is given, in his own language, the re sult:— " The first glass seemed like sour strong beer with a good deal of water in it ; the next was not quite so sour, and the next on tasted as if the original beer had been stronger and they did not dilute it eo much. Then we rested, and as I had drank three pints already, I was willing to quit, but Damphool assured me " lager isn't inr toxicating," so after a little settling down, I thought I could hold another glass and ordered it; it was brought by a young lady who seemed to have four eyes and two noses pointing in dif ferent directions, which unusual effect was un doubtedly caused by smoke. "Then I thought I'd hare a glass of lager, (a liquid known to most of the inhabitants of Man hattan.) It was brought by a girl so pretty that I immediately ordered - two more, and kept her waiting for the change each time so that I could look at her—than we had some cheese full of holes ; then we took some lager to fill up the holes ; and then we took a sausage ; Damphool suggested that the sausage was made of dog, so we had some lager to drown the dog ; their we had some sardines ; Damphool said i;. would be cruel to keep the fishes without a supply of the liquid element, so we had some lager for the fish es to swim in ; then we had some pretzels ; Dam phool said the pretzels were salty and so crooked that they would not pack close, so we had some lager to fill up the chinks; then I made a speech to the company ; short, but t; the point, and re ceived with applause—it was addressed to the whole crowd, and was to this effect—. Gentle men, let's have some lager." By this time my friend had by some myetecious process, become mysteriously multiplied, and there were fifty Damphools, and they all accepted the invitation, and we had the Lager. There wore forty glasses, and in trying to make the circuit of the room and touch my glass to every one of theirs I fell over a table which very impertinent ly stepped up before me, and as I went down I knocked a small Dutchman into the corner, then I partially recovered myself, and sat on his head, then I got up and stepped on his stomach, then I demanded an instant apology, then I called for six glasses of Lager, and the girl brought them all In one hand. , I tried to take them in one hand, but broke three, then I tried to drink out of the remaining three all at once, and in so doing I took an involuntary shower bath, then I tried to pay for the whole fifty glee , see and the damage with a dime and a Spanish quarter, and demand my change in gold dollars. There seemed to be some difficulty about this, and if I had'nt known that Lager was'nt intoxi. eating I should have thought the man was drunk," WE find the following obituary notice in the Washington (Fayette County) Register, a neutral paper : DlED.—Departed this life, August 18, 1858, at Moscow, in the Seventh Congressional District of Ohio, THE BLACK REPUBLICAN PART; in the 6th year of its age. Your much afflicted correspondent was well acquainted with the deceased, and can say with certainty, it was one of the most affable, unobtrustve,oompromieing, patient and Christian like parties that ever originated in the United States. It never turned any from its door that came—but asked all to oome, eat, drink and be happy, never asking whether they were bang or anti-bank ; anti-slavery or pro-slavery ; for or against anything—no matter, so they would op pose that Prince of Devils, the Locefoco Party. But that Star of Christian graces—Patience-- shone more brightly during its last illness, to which it submitted without a murmur. Some time last Winter deceased visited the City of Washington, and by exposure of its principles, caught a slight cold and becoming indisposed, it was induced by its friends to take a dose of English Pills, (the English Bill,) which so affect ed the deceased's throat that it has not been able to utter one Republican sentence since—not even the powerful efforts of Its friends could save It from impending dissolution—and when all the small fry political Doctors had failed, a council of the great Doctors was called to meet in Fayette County on the 9th of August, 1858, when on a close examination of the pati eat, Dr. Corwin discovered that the English Pill • was coated with wool, which had,stnakin the patients throat, and he advised a small quantity of Squats ter Sovereignty to be rammed down the throat with the handle of Americanism, with a diet of Wilmot Proviso, to which the majority of the council agreed, and met in Morrow on last Mon day to perform the operation under tbo care of Dr. Corwin—but alas for human skill ! the nurse —(L.

Mr. William C. Bond, Director of the Obser -/atory of Harvard College, publishes, in the Boston Traveller, the following communication respecting this comet, the re-appearance of which in the latter part of September, after its conjunction with the sun, will be carefully ob• served. It seems probable that, at its re-ap pearance, it will be a more conspicuous object than while approaching its perihelion : " The comet discovered by Donati, at Flor ence, on the 2d of Jane, and now visible isi the constellation of Leo Minor, has been frequontly observed at Cambridge. Its geometric path has been very unfavorable for the investigation of its orbit. This oiroumstanoe has greatly trotabled the Eat opean oomputators as well as our own : four sets of elements have been computab ad at the Observatory of Harvard College—two ,para bolic curves by Messrs. Charles Tuttle and A eaph Hall, and twe elliptic orbits by Mr. G. P. B wad, whose latest elements indicate that the comet.; will be seen much brighter, and in a better pod ition, than at present, during the latter part of Sep tember. The period of thirty-two years,, which has been obtained, also indicates a possible iden tity with the first comet of 1827, the elements of which have in the other 'respects a counidera- bp) rekemblatoe."
