Under this caption, I notice an article, in the American of the 23d ult.,' written by a resident of- our Borough'. Its 'author appa rently seams to breathe a lofty patriotism, mingled-with a deep desire for thepro:notion of our. institutions and the welfare of our common country.-: The powers of his mind are lifted high in defence of a new organize.- lion, whose' defeat has been as sudden as was its rise. But what is this organization, the principles .of which:he endeavors- to uphold and commend to the undivided support of the American people? It is a party composed chiefly of disappointed 'office-seekers and" fanatical demagogues. A. party; which, at first, swept like a devastating tornado over the brightest spots of the Union, levelling with its -proscriptive power every principle of equality and justice,, and marking - its pro gressive steps with - human gore. it is an or ganization bound together by hideous oaths, for - the purpose of crushing the spontaneous thoughts of the human breast and subjugating 'the aspirations of our - free people to the dicta tion of degenerated egotists. It is a combi nation of frantic elements, cemented by hell ish avarice and goaded on by the enchanting , charms of realized power. And need we re cur to the past to' demonstrate the baneful effects of this spirit of sectionalism If so, view fora moment the heart-rending scenes .enacted in Cincinnati, and when the eyes grow weary gazing upon streets reddened with blood—then turn to Louisville ! And 0, alas !- -What an awfu loiread In =picture ! Great God ! -What .an era has burst upon the American Union The Heavens ',are crapeel - With gloom - and the earth gilded with 'sack-cloth ! Volumes ft smoke ascend into the air mingled with the dying greens and , agonies of - freedom's slaughtered sons. The rights of :our citizens are disregarded, the sanctity of the ballot-box violated, and even life itself treated as a fable. And by whom have these atrocious deeds, been committed? By this reform party, which tries in loud ac cents, "Americans alone shall rule America." Heaven forever save 'lli from the grasp -of such tyrants. And why was' this fair land - of liberty to be (Mooed in the blood of her countrymen :imply because her citizens would not-submissively yield to the behests of a wild fanaticism, whose voice echoed and re-echoed in thunder tones throughout the utmost limits of the Union, summoning the millions to its polluted banner. It was , be cause the American freemen dared to express their opinions through the ballot laox,..uncir oumscribed by a contracted prejudice or un trammeled by a narrow bigotry..' To • prove that this new organization was the instiga tor of these bloody scenes and the _cause of the streets of our cities flowing with the life blood of our sons, we need. but review the past • history of our' country and examine whet e, in all her 'proud annals, is to be seen so gross an abuse and"disregard of the elective franchise, the dearest privilege of freemen. - Where do we behold, prior to the origin of this' progeny 'of fanaticism, the lovers of 'the endeared Washington, the defenders of corn pletest liberty, those who have been reared and nurtured under the genial : influences of American Institutions end whose hearts are attached-to all that is promotive of American interests, slaughtered in their own dwellings and bathed in . their-own blood. Where., do -we see, previous to the birth of thiS Knoia Nothing infamy, a political party claiming to-be Nritionid, to be the - "redeemers of a vio lated'Constitution purchased by the sufferings of our'ancestors, encouraging the perpetration of deeds black as darkest night and shrouded 'in deepest" carnage. Our Nation in all 'her giant strides toward greatness, presents, no such horrid, spectacles as are seen in the principles and actions of this pseude-Ameri can:party. But the glory : of this party has departed. One universal shout of victory' is heard a4cending tethe' very clouds, proclaim ing to the millions 'that:this "new star of Unwonted brilliancy" ha's fallen froth "the political. heavens." Like the mushroom', which cannot endure the scorching rays of the noon-day sun, it has shrunk Cefore - the, dazzling blaze of potent truth and jUstice.— Nor can the efforts of a 64 Nibroc,'? puissant as they may be, uphold this crumbling fab ric or avert the awful doom which inevitably awaits it. Cassville, Pa MR. EDITOR—Dear Sir: Allow me to tell Mr. "Tell" .that .he'„ has missed the mark widely in his shot of the 16th inst. in the "Globe." He has hit nei ther apple nor boy, in fact he has hit no where that I can see. Indeed, it seems to roe to be, a ramdom shot; without much -pre vious practice, and without 'the object at which he was aiming very distinctlydn view. Perhaps if he will examine himself Closely he will find that it is Gesler he wishes to maim with his missile; without much thought about Gesler's office. I mean that it is the occupant that makes the office .of Co. Supt.' so objectionable to 'him. How has it bene fited us, is -the - inquiry to be-ansiVered, in a defence of this office., I answer. By arous ing an .. educational interest--,--by .directing public attention to the schoolS--:-by , driving. incapable teachers out of the schools and put ting more competent onesin: "Tell" might demand proof of all these propositions, and I would very willingly.,giy9, - „it. did your lim its allow it.- Suffice it-theri-, -to say,"that all that the rriest-'sang,pine . friends , of'the office claini for- it is grantelin those• 'where it. has fallen into effipOnt hands,. and 'thereby get ting a fair chance. LoOk at Lancaster, Cum berldniVabil Berks - The ,latter Was se hos -tile to the office at first that she refused to give its incumbent-more-.than 300 per year, but now he receives tl2so_per year—is this not overwhelmingproof. Whether Mr. Barr's salary should : be increased , foreign to the matter inharrd..,,lVly owe opinion is .that,-he shOrild have more pay. or be: relieved' 'or the office. Might not his inefficiency be owing in past to. inadequate .pay'..:. My own experr ence has taught me that no man will woilc k well for poor pay, but it isequally. true that: some men cannot .work well, let thet pay,be, ever so good. I repeat that with Mr. Barr r have nothing to do,.he may or may net 'be, the Man„,or may; lack the capacity to fill the place he occupies, but it is with a view to I contribute a mite in defence of an office inval uable to our common when's. Nor is it my, busineis to inquire whether the persons com posing the meeting in Tell were tax payers or only poor folks, or whether all or only a few of them voted. But I .do insist that if "Tell" hates Gesler-"he-must shoot at him, and not hurl his Missiles regardless of what or whom he hits so that there is even a remote probability of wounding Gesler. . Very RespectfullY Yours, „ - • . • X. Y. - • • .The English Mission: The position of Minister to the Court of St. Jarnes, made vacant by the return of the Hon. James Buchanan to the United States, has ,been. tendered by. the President to our distinguished fellow-townsman, the Hon. George M. Dallas, and accepted. We are sincerely gratified at this selection of a suc cessor to Mr. Buchanan, .for while it secures to the country, in the present critical junc ture, the advantage of an able • and .sagacious statesman as the representative, and guardian of American interests, it is also a compliment to the devoted and unflinching Democracy of Pennsylvania, Whose type and representa tive Mr. Dallas so pre-eminently is, and will be received by the whole country with a feel ing - of peculiar satisfaction. No selection, indeed, could have been made, so likely to result in large advantage to the country.— Mr. Dallas, from his position as a statesman, hiS experience in diplomacy, and above all, his Patriotic devotion to his country, and his clear perception of her great Mission, is, emi nently calculated to reflect the highest _hon or upon our country, and to wield a perso nahnfluence second to none other in the as sertion and maintenance of the clearly defi ned principles and policy . . of the American government. He has also the advantage-of an intimate acquaintanceship with most of the leading statesmen 'of' 'Europe, and the policy•and aims of .European governthents, acquired as well during his einment services abroad as Minister to St. Petersburg, as du rino,, his terms, first as a Senator and after wards as Vice President of the United States. He will' therefore take from the beginning a position socially, at once honorable to the country 'and full of the promise of .large use fulness, while he will bring to bear upon his duties as a Representative of the. American government,, a clearness of judgment, and extent of knowledge, ar.d a &miles of pur pose, that justly made him in former times the worthy friend of the - immortal Jackson, and of whose views and national policy Mr. Dallas is now more especially than any other American statesmin ; the exponent and _ , rep resentative. . • . Mr. Dallas has been educated in the school of true Republicanism; and in his capacity as minister to the Court of St. James will com mand large consideration for our institutions and people. During his services abroad in 1837-'9, as Minister to the Court of Si. Pe tersburg, he, commanded the respect and con fidence of all, and elicited from the Czar many marked evidences of regard.- In all his intercourse he was distinguised,for his sim ple manners and true dignity of character.— So also as Vice President of the United States he lent liOnor and dignity to-the station, and by his urbanity,' impartiality and genuine rl bility of character, won the undivided con, deuce of all with whom he was brought in contact, both officially and socialyw In view, therefore, of the high - character and eminent abilities of Mr. Dallas, we regard his selec tion, in the present crisis, as Minister to England, as a promising event. In upright nees,-Antegrity, patriotic devotion to the in terests of the country; and firmness in the assertion of every national right, no man stands before the country 'with a purer and more enviable 'record. In a long career of arduous public service, he never trank - from, any responsibility, and never wavered in the vindication of right. He has ever been the champion of abroad and comprehensive Dem ocratic policy, 41,4 has brought to its- eluci dation and - defericii!the 'strength of a giant intellect, and all the force of genuine worth and purity in moral character. His sagaci ty has secured to the country Many and large aqvantages, and guaided us from many an error. Eminently national in all his views, and knowing only a' common destiny for the whole country, he is a statesman of the true old fashioned Jackson school, and especially fitted for the post the President has.so wise ly confided to, him. • But as Pennsylvanians we feel more than usual pride in this selection. Mr. Dallas en joys more than any man the confidence, and warm regard of the people of his State.— Born and reared in the principles ofJefferson; entering political life under circumstances which gave him the ' confidence and warm friendship of Andrew Jackson; in the front . rank ever-in times of party trial wholly un selfish in all his views, and much oftener de clining than . accepting public position; the Noble-hearted Democracy of Pennsylvania have ever held hiin as their champion and repreSentative, wholly withont blemish either in his public or private life, and meeting every duty', political, 'professional and social, with the same integrity of purpose and disre gard of self." He peculiarly • illustrates, in•, deed ) thebharaCter of the PennsYlvania De mocracy, as well in the broad nationality of his views, as in his self-Saerificing patriotism and his truly republican manners, 'which have reflected so much ,credit and honor up on every position he has filled.—Phila. Eve, ding Argus. NOTLIBI For the Globe It is not surprising that in these days of travel, and peril by land and by sea, the chap ter of accidents and casualittcs for the past year should be long and sad. We hate (lath ered from 'reliable sources the facts and fig ures which are appended, although it is high ly 'probable that the number of deaths by fa tality of travel is, somewhat (neater than is here represented. During the year:lBss, the number of tail road'acciden ts in various parts.of the country resUltincrin losses of life or limb, Was 142, by which 116 persons • were. killed; and .569 badly woundod.

Disastrous as these results seem to bo, , they are, happily. far less in magnitude than those of the former year, 1854. During that year the - railroad , aecnients numbered 51 - more, while the number of the killed:was 70, and the , wounded 50'greater than in the last year. The steamboat accidents of 1854 were 48, (diminished in'lBss - tb - , "27) 'the 'killed were 587; diminished to-176; the wounded 225, di minished to 107. The number of fires in 1854 was 223, which decreased by 30 in ,1855; and the loss of property amounted•to $20,000,000, which was reduced to $13,000,000 during the last year. • From the New York Observer, Jam . 17 Casualities for a Year: Death, of Mr. Banks The father of Hon: JOHN BA.riksi of Reading, and WILLIAM BANKS, Esq., of. Indiana, died recently in Mifflin. county, at the advanced age of 89 years. The Juniata Register states that he voted for every President from Washington to 'Pierce. He' regarded the Democratic party as "the great conservative party of the Union," and made it a matter of conscience to attenu all elections and vote for its candidates. His first vote was given in 1788, at which time he was required to take the oath -of allegiance, a certificate of which oath the carried in his pocket book till the day of his death. , Mr. - BANKS was elected a commissioner of Mifflin county in 1800. THE SCHO _ .tvrASTER. OF OUR REPUBLIC.- When our republic rose, Noah Webster be came its school-master. There had never been a great nation with a universal language without dialects. The Yorkshireman cannot now talk with a man from Cornwall. The peasant of the Liguarian Appenines, drives his goats home at evening, over hills that look down on six provinces, none of w-hose dialects he .can speak. Here, five thousand miles change not the sound of a word.— Around every fireside, and from every tribune, in every field of labor and every factory of toil, is heard the same tongue. We owe it to Webster. He has done for us more than Al fred did for England, or Cadmus for Greece. His books have educated three generations:— They are forevermultiplying his innumerable army of thinkers, who will transthithis name from age to age.—Glances at the Metropolis. Ohio K. N. Convention.
