mias3uusmmmam -.- -- : Washington atit Taj-toe, The resemblance between these twri persona ,e, which ha teco frequently remarked, is ho fanciful' thing, but a reality, which becomes mure apparent in proportion the characteris tics ot the two arc regarded. There ia a simi hrity in their styles of writing and in their style of fighting in the open, manly almplici ty an J inaKsivcneea of character common to both, end in that hobler disinterestedness of nature which markea in both a patriotism aa elevated dm it is pure. The iw of Gen. Taylor'a name in connection with the Presidency haa developed a new point i.f analogy between him and Washington. We invite the reader's attention to a com pari ton of the subjoined extracts. The firat ia from Qen. Toy lor 'a recent letter: "From many sources I have been addressed on die subject of the Presidency, and 1 do violence neither to myself nor to my position as an offi cer of ihe army, by acknowledging to you, as I have done to all who have alluded to the use nfmynamein this exalted connection, that my services are ever at the will and call of my coun try, and 1 am not prepared to any that I shall refuse if the country calls me to the Presiden- liiiloffice.. but I cm and shall yield to no call nul Ones not come irom me cpbmsucou .. mid free will of the nation at large, and void of the slightest agency of my own. For the high huifur and responsibilities of such an office, I take thia occasion to say, thai 1 havo not the slightest aspiration ; a much more tran quil and satisfactory life, after Ihe termination ' my present duties, awaile me, I trust, in the occupations ninxt cognial to my wishes. In no sse can I permit myself to be the candidate of any party, or yield myself to party schemes." The next extract is from oneot Washington's letters in answer to an application in behalf of e"me one for an office: "Should it become absolutely neceraary for me to occupy the station in which your letter pre supposed me, have determined to gn in to if ptrfectly free from all engagements, of f very nature whatsoever. A conduct in con formity to this resolution, would enable me, in balancing the jriojjRjew,,itjne, irruA 'h rvic nftrence lojustu t and the public good." . In the answer of the Senate to General Wa shington's first address to Congress, they say : "Wc are sensible, ar, that nothing but the voice of your fellow-citizena could have called you from a retreat, chosen with the fondeat pre dilections, endeared by habit, and consecrated to the repose of declining years. We rejoice and with us ail America, that in obedience to the cull of our common country, you have retur ned once more to public life. In you, all par ties confide, in you, all interests unite." The resemblance here ia an striking that no one can mistake it. "What a acorching satire ia it," saya Hie Richmond Republican, in which we find these quotations, "upon the degeneracy if the times, and the decline of the primitive pmt or patriotism, that the sentiment of the tale letter attnbuled to (Jen. Taylor should strike panic to a singlo soul, or waken opposi tion to him for the Presidency, when the posi lion taken in that letter ia precisely indentirat with that always taken by George Washing ton in reference to the chief magistracy !" The New York Journal of Commerce devotes mi article of some length, and full of judicious remarks, to the subject of Gen. Taylor and the Presidency. It conclude as follows: "General Taylor comes before the people un committed to any party. Aa a military man, he liaa attended to hie official duties, and not trou bled himself with polities. To be an American i enough for him, without adding Whig or Lo co, ly way ol adornment. No one can doubt that if called to the Presidency, he will admin ister the government with impartiality, moder ation, and wit-dom yet with firninee ; quali ties which have been developed at every step of his progress through Mexico. Knowing the horrors of war, he will bo a man of peace. Cir. cumspoct in hi language nd deportment, he will not givo needless offence to foreign pow. ers. Greatly respected as he is. both abroad and atbeinn, he will uot have a character to gain, but only to support Free from etrong party predilections, ho will aim to do justice in all. In short, he will be President of this country, nd not of a section or party. Success to him." In his letter, published in (ho Troy Post, (General Taylor says : The Presidential office presents no induce, martta to me lo seek its honor or respon-ibili- I ies; ihe tranquility of private life, on Ihe con 'rary, is the great object of my aspirations on 'be conclusion o the wsr but I am not insen. ible to the tcrnuaion that my services are vet due to the country, at Ihe country (hall see rtt lo command them,- it still as a soldier,! sm in-tied; if itl tiighcr snd more responsible du ne, I desire not t uprose the manifest wish of the people-but I will not be the candidate of uuy party or clique, and should the nation at Wge seek to place me in tba clurirof chief ma piracy, the guud of all parties and the Nation .1 good would bo my great and absorbing aim. The position here as-uined by Gen. Taylor is identical with that taken by Gen. Washing on; and ntteda no other sanction than that of He "Father of hia Country," to vindicate ita propriety.

Cameron presided, to adopt measures for the continuance and completion of the rail road fiom York to Ilarri.burg. The estimate of the Engineer is 5500,000. One of the great arguments used by the Haiti moreans is, that it will connect with Ihe central Rail Road opimsite Uami-burg, and thus give them a communication with Pittsburg over the Pennsylvania, or central road, vibich will biiug Baltimore 16 miles nearer to I'llltburg than rhi)adjtUiUia..W.il.U...r1ll.,lJp:Tiirar1ft Kilo delpbia enterprise, besides the gieat loss which Pennsylvania must suttain in having a rail road running parallel with her line of public woiks. Could any people, having their own interests in view, be guilt r of a greater absurdity? Why not at once adopt the really central Suiibury F.rie and PilUburg route, which will secure to Philadelphia not only the Pitrtburg tinde, but, what ia of much greater value, the great trade of the Lakes, all of which could be accomplished at a lets cost than the mis-called central road. UjT Brkadsicffs in Michioa Ths esti mates heretofore made of the products of this country, like all estimates of this character' are nothing but mere conjecture. Michigan was es timated to have 300,000 bushels of grain tospare. She haa, however, already sent to niai ki-t 555, 000 bushels, and had in store to go 383,000 bu shels, and will, in all probably, send to maiket one million of bushels. E7 Gf.m.

The author of "Just ire and Honesty',' looms to be exceedingly thin skinned, and has evidently been sorely wounded by our correspondent, in speaking highly of the ability and Integrity of Mr. Jordan, without saying that there are one or two other men in I his wicked world who hsve pretension to the same virrtoes New, it mny be that tb writer, like Aristid, b no equal r.P in.'iM nt- l.La r)ir.ui.na r.rlii,imr in his , r t - in ,,.Li.

But we know that many of the most prnmii.ent members of the Forks concur in the views of the writer, who recommended the nomination ol Mr. Jordan as the best means of bringinr about the union, harmony and success of the deniocistic rty there aie, no doubt, othirs wbo would make good members ; but whether their nomination would have as good an effect in harmonising the different eomflicting interests, is a question of no slight importance. Fob ths Srsiitsv Amssiicai. y Fmtor : In your paper of the .Id of July, I obsei ved an article headed "our next member," and signed "Many of Old Turbut." recommend ing Alexander Ionian, F.sq , for our next mem ber. Now, with Mr Jordan's competency, fit. nets or ohility, to fill the office with honor to himself and bis const it iients. should he be elec ted, I have nothing to do ; but with the senti ments of the article the union harmony, and successor the democratic party, I have some- j thing lo do, and reel a deep interest in the lat ter. 'Ihe author f the above iiot.-! article, tsuj:h he labors in the secoiij and fourth seu I tences to show the nomocracy that no democrat has a cloim upon his party Air office, either from "local bubital ion, or for spending bis time, his money, bis talents and best energies to promote the punt-iplctol d. inocrary ai il insure the success and prospeiity ol Ihe party yet in the third len ience, eiiher iiiadvertently by mistuke or through a slip of the pep. admits that the candidate w hom he recommends has claims, not fiom "local habi tation." but from "bis ability, his honesty and integrity. Now we are not one of those who, like the uncharitable or ignorant author of V. nyvfOU Turbut," douht but there are many Democrats, eiiher in Sunbury or the Forks, 1 who have equal ability, and are quite aa well known for huvetty mid n'rgrity," as Mr. Jordan. It really seems to us as though Ihe aulhor has lateJy left the Whig -arty, but still believes and wishes to carry out some ol its odious principles, via: that the whig party contains all the de. cency and talents." Yet the sutbor has, by some hook or crook, found that theie is one de cent, talented and honorable man in the Jiinio cratic party. The author say : -as for claims I 01 any one to office, we look upon it as hum bug as well ss Anti republican." I'oes he for get (01 is it from ignorance) that lb constitution makes any man "eligible lo the office of Repie. sentalive, after be has attained Ihe age of twenty one years and been a citizen and inhabitant of the state thiee years." If, t her, a man is runstilu lionally eligible, it follows that b bs a i0nti tnlional right arising from bis eligibility ; and if a right, then also a claim which he may asaert at any time. All men, therefore, being constitu tionally eligible, have claims; but there is still further claims arising from local habitation, from the custom of psrty, from ceaseless labor, devo tioa and interest to promulgate and advance tba principles oftb parly, and from time and mo ney spent to unite, barmonix and insure, as far as possibl, th success of tb party. It has been, and will alwsys continue to be, th cus tom of th great democratic party, not only in national but in stats, district aud country nomin ations, to pay grot regard to "local habitation." It may be asked wby. Tha answer is, to satis fy and rendsr justice to tb pailir entitle !, and thus unit snd harmonit the party, aud the mere likely to insuie its success. Th Folks ar entitled lo the candidate, a mstter of light.,. They not having had but two yesisin twenty, justice and honesty demand that it be conceded te them. The "interest and success" oftb party earnestly require thsl the candidate shonld be elected from the Forks. Common honesty requires it. If the Forks do not receive the candidate, division, opposition and disunion will he ths consequents. When justice and common honesty fail, and ar so of ten outraged, then the magic word, "stick to the ticket," cesses to be a vittue, and will r.o longer be regarded, but treated with scorn and con tempt. Let the Pemocrary ol the lower end do justice to the Folks even though it be at this late day it will ensure the success ol the nom ine J otherwise, defeat is certain. Jl STICK ASJt HoNCSTT.
