DAVID D. BRUCE, Chat!
A NOTRER DEMOCRATIC CORI VEIN-
TION.
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

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.

LETTER FROM . A FOREIGN BOND
HOLDER.
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."

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. D. Williard administered two more grains
of Squatter Sovereignty than he had orders to
do, and the patient died under the treatment,
trusting in the resurrection of the Old Whig
Party,
Thou art gone to the grave, but we will not deplore thee
Though the coons and the darkies encoinpasa the torch;
The Whig Party has paned through the portals befoi a thee,
And a barrel of hind elder you will fttli In your room.
Thou'rt gone to the grave, hnt 'Were wrong r to der4ore
thee,
Since Tom wee the Doctor, and Wllllard the name;
They will meet o'er thy gray. but not to divide thee—
But to divide out the epotle ;hey , may !Ind In thy prime.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4.— r The great slave ry
tournament between Parson Brownlow, of Ten.'
nesse°, and the Rev._Abram Pryne, of ,New
England, will commence here on Tuesday evens
ing next, and continue for five,successivr, even
ings. Both gentlemen are now in 09 . . is city.
Mr. Brownlow is unfortunately afitir,ted with
bronchitis, rendering it necessary that his argil
meats be read by another.
WASHINGTON, CITY, Sept. 4.—Mr. G. Rnelhao
has been appointed Surveyor at [Eckman, By.,
vice Theinley, deceased. Samn el Jones, of
Kansan, has been appointed Collector of the
District of Paso del Norte, vice Slaerman, whose
commission has expired.
Sr. Louts, Sept. 4 —.The Democrats of the
Eighth District of J',Viuois, nominated Philip P.
Fouke, for Congreas, in plane of Robort Smith,
the present mt,Mber. Seventy ballots were oast.
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." W. C. B.
Harvard College Observatory, Aug 28, 1858."
