We publ:gh, to the exclustali of other mat ter, the Address of the State Committee, adopt ed at their ni , .teting in Harrisburg, on Wed nesday week. We can only remark th it discusses the political isrues now before the people with ability and clearness, and will amply repay perusal. The princq Ica gor erning the Democratic party never appear strung,er, and the misrepresentations by which they are constantly assailed more feeble, than after a calm survey of the field, accompanied by II Nig,iroun exposition of Hie fundamental tioetrines of aid great constitutional party of the country. The ttme , hon•ored custom of tle State Committee in addressing the people of the State directly has Leen followed in the past by the happiest effects, and we trust that the fame consequences may flow flout this ably written address. A MAXIE Alloso-Cilizont of Pertsylvania We are hap'py to poddreas you at a Moment when nnmistakable mauifestatione of return ing confidence and courage on the part (Attie Democracy are beginning to exhibit themselves in all quarters of the Commonwealth. You have already seen with what unanimity the State Convention, which assembled at Ilarris burg on the IGth of March Lost, passed reso lutions arming the principles and policy to which we hold ourselves pledged befure the country, and how it pronounced, by aeolatna- Gun, in favor of our excellera and erica( ep tionaule candidates. With au occasional ex ception, in the nature of an amicable t.rote,t, or suggestion, the proceedings of the Conven tion have been in the highest degree sstisfsc tory to the entire Deuna:ratic party of the State. Since its adjournment there lan, been an t i mus j, p er f ec t restorution of cordial good feelings among Detnucruts, where they had been in sonic instances temporarily interrupt ed. Unfortunate and unmeaning dissensions have entirely disappeared. In earnest of this, the State Central Committee, although com posed of forty-one members, representing every district in the State, and some of whom you will doubtless recognise it, their lung and faithful connection with the Democratic or ganisation, have Leen found an unit ii, the resolute purpose to sustain that organization at all hazards, egaiest open or secret hostili ty. The county meetillgP, wherever they have , spoken, have shown air:mad% e s fully conscious of their responsibilities, by forming local' tickets of the main acceptable descriptjun, and by otherwise. exhibiting and earnest and, we trust, invincible determination to crown the canvass with the success that can hardly fail to attend their zealous and f efcient exertions. We are glad to state, also, thet the Democrat icpress have dropped, with one aefaird, all unfriendly and unprofitable discussions on ir relevant topics and settled issues, and are properly directing their undivided and power ful energies against the common enemy. Fur every professing Democrat who velum consis tency and principle / the path of ditty is new broad, plain and inviting. No one can hi , 00 ignorant as to pretend to misunderstand the present relation of parties in this State; the importance of the c }stent, both in its State and 4,atiuual aspects, upon which we have now fairly entered, and the precise import of , the issues that have been - homed in this pond ing contruversy. The line which divides the two contending parties, whether drawn on the I map of the St ate, or that of the Union, is too deep and striking to escape the eye of any I who may not wilfully choose to be blind. On one side of this line stand the Democracy tif Penneylvania, harmonious in our deliberations and fearless in the exposition of our views, with a platform and ticket challenging honest criticism ; while on the opposite side you per- , ceive two factions—the Illack Itepuhlicaps and linow Nothing—composing the Oppusi 'tion, each afraid to avow its ultimate designs, or its present distinctive characteristics ; each etuaactilated of its original distinguishing } quality; each declaring, itself opposed to the j ether on certain vital points, yet conspiring together to secure place ands p l its, by delib erately ignoring all sound princlTsles of gov ernment, and all enlightened inspirations of true American statesmanship. We do nut approach you, fellow citizens, in the name of a •• People's Party , " concocted on yesterday, composed of the shrds and patches of all opinions, and intended to serve, not the MAMAS who may be deceived by its empty promises, but the politicians, who have in vented it for their profligate pirposes. We speak in the same language used by the found- ' ere of our glorious party sixty years ago.— No candid man will deny that, from the in auguration of Mr. Jefferson to the present date, the Democratic party has been the real representative party of the genius, character. I honor and lacerate of our free institutions.— It has been so recognized by the people of the finited States, who have so constantly imposed upon it the duties and burdens of government. It has haprily eliminated the leading truths' of the Constitution, embodied them in simple ; though imperishable formulas of doctrine, and , applied them firmly and efficiently in practi cal administration, until it has become the ac tual reflex of all the great constitutional prin ciples, at the basis of oar republican system. Its :indent creed is unchanged, and remains substantially at this day what it has ever leen. ' More than half a century ago, as at this hour, one of its articles watched with faithful vigi lance, over this rights of the States and the union of the States ; another insisted thee, now, on civil and religious freedom for all classes end sects, discriminating for pone and against none, whether Catholic or Protestant, dew or Gentile, but permitting "every man to worship God after his own heart ;" a third invoked, as it now invokes in the shape of generous laws, a liberal ho,pittility towards the oppressed of all lands, as well for reasons of sound policy as from in, tines of humanity and a love of liberty ; a fourth demanded, as it now requires, territorial expansiun to meet all exigencies, whether military, or comfier— cial—tor security, defence, or national aggran dizement—arising out of the natural, ine% ita tile and benevolent progress of American civ• iliaation, and hence it has happened that co ery foot of "- - erritory annexed to the Guinn has been acquired by the Democratic party ; in a fifth article of our faith was end is presented noble Jeffersonian conception of eniversel suffrage with universal education ; in a sixth Was and is proclaimed the grand principle of equal rights, before the laws, of all citizen., , I rich or poor—native or naturalised ; in a seventh was and is nunonneed the doctrine of a strict construction of the necessary powers of government, as being alone compatible with sound - political morals, and in the un-, wise relaxation of which debt, extravagance, tyranny and corruption would soon find their way into the very citadel of the Constitution, to betray and destroy it. Under this head the Isburs sir the Democracy hate been inval• • sable, We have opposed National Banks, destroyed them and established the Independ ent Treasury.

From all quar ters our exchanges come freighted with no tices of the - duings on that day, demonstrating the fact that the fires of patriotism still burn brightly on the altar of the Nation. No general celebration was had here, but the day was observed as a holiday by all. At an early hour in the morning, in the " weo ma' hours syant the twal," our slumbers were disturbed by the sound of martial music and the ringing of belle. At 4, the Blues assembled at their Armory, and after a few' preliminaries adjourned for breakfast. "At' 5i they re-assembled, and marched to the Depot. accompanied by the Citisens'(or Demo cratie) Band, is uniform. The Blues looked and marched well, and the Band discoursed excellent music, of a stirring character. The train left at 6, amidst the cheers of a large crowd ; and arrived at Hanover in duo season, where two more cars, (making five) were at tached, containing the Hanover Rides, mu- i mended by Capt. 11. GAMS MYERS. This Company also made a fine appearance. The cars likewise contained a considerable num.! ber of the citizens of Gettysburg, Oxford, Hanover, &c. Upon reaching York, the two companies were received by the Worth In-1 fantry, Capt. ZLLCLE, and York Rifles, Capt. wh im' , with two splendid Band., and marched to Main street, whore the line was formed, by the addition of the Independent Greys, Lieut. StersoN commanding, and the Lafayette Guards, Capt. BROWN, both of Baltimore. A battalion was then formed, and the command given to Cul. EGIRTON, of Baltimore. The procession made it very im posing appearance, and elicited commendatory remarks on all sides. [Prof. TROUR, of this place, brought up the rear, and was the" ob served of all observers." Everybody had a word to say of or to him, and he so won upon the Baltimoreans that they had his photo graph taken t.nd would have numerous locks of his hair.] After marching through se% end stmt., the military partook of a well gotten up collation at Washington Ilall. An hour after, the hue of march was resumed, and continued through the principal streets. At 6 P. M. the excursion train for Gettysburg took its departure from York, amidst the hearty cheers and warni wishes of an im mense throng of military and citizens assent bled at the Depot. The train arrive.] hero at about 9 °Nook, all well pleased with the day's loins. The Blues and Band were de lighted with the treatment they received at York, and will seek some fittiu occasion to repay the ninny kind attentions received at the hands of the military and citizens of that place. A celebrutibn of an interesting character came off at Pennsylvania College, a report of which will be found in this issue. MR. EDITOR :—Dear celebration of the Fourth at the College, which was an: nounced by the town papers of the week pre vious, passed off in a manner alike betting the occasion, and creditable to the Committee of Arrangements. A neat rostrum was envi es] and seats were provided tualer the shade of the surrounding trees. The speeches de livered by those calks! upon, critical much talent, and the speakers did much honor, Loth to themselves and the Institution. The new amid beautiful Flag ahilh the exercises were to inaugurate, a as unfurled to the Lime from a neat flag staff on the College cupola. Du ring the exercises a national salute was fired at intervals of 10 minutes. The College Glee Club assisted to enliven the occasion with pa triode odes and choice sect:thaw of music.— The order of exercises was as follows The object of the meeting was stated in a few appropriate remarks by Theu. 'telling, of Thmarpta. After singing of Hail Cc,lamhia, an excellent Ormion was deliteted by D. L. Tressler. of Loysville. The Flag was then hoisted, with the firing of the cantata] and ring ing of " Star Spangled Danner." Dr. Dangl er, President of the Instutiun, was then call ed upon and aldtmed the audience in his, usual happy and instructite manner. Ile was followed by J. B. Ile:mensn3der, of Milton, and U. W. Ruth, of Prurt.ect. Alter the sing ing of that famous old College song, "Guide- I aunts Igitstr," the following gentlemen being called upon responded :--31 emirs. 31. 11. Rich-, ord.*. of Reading. S. A. Holman. of Uarris-; burg, and A. J. Weise, of Hagerstown, 313.1 Music—" The 3lariners." The next gentle-, men celled upon ware G. M. Brinkerhoff, of Uunterstowt, and W. B. Rymer, of Gap- I burg. The audience having been tuviatl to visit the Mills of the College. the exercises were closed by the singing of "I see them. stint the Patriot Band." Every thing passed off in the most pleasing manner, and with much credit to all concern -4xl, end to the delight of the large and respect able audience assembled on the occasion. Marne glorious Fourth was ushered in at New Oxford by martial music and the firing of musketry. . The citizens of the town, when they arose in the morning, found that a lib erty pole bad been erected on the public square during the prztious night—the na tional ensign floating gaily from its top. The New Oxford Feucibles paraded during the day, and performed evolutions that older cumpauies,would be surprised at. They were out with their truskets, and upon their next public appearance will no doubt be in uni form. A Brass Band is also talked of in that place, to which, as well as the Company, we wish abandarit success. A correspondent of the Ilarriabwg Patriot, and 1.54i04 has Leen to Caledonia Culd I, Springs, and writes to the ed.tor about this I celebrated watering place, in this style : Away up among the mountains, in Adams county, a few miles from Cliambersburg, and the same from Gettysburg, there stangs, beau tiful in its seclusion, one of th most delight jit. futiv cool bowies, in the mid , the wildest and must romantic scenery yo can imagine, and surrounded with everything in thaway of running streams, shady walks and all the et cetera. of a real country life ; while within I have found society of the mos: social aad re fined character—every body doing just us they choose, and nobody choosing to uierstep the bounds of propriety in any way. These Stags are under the management of Mrs. 11. Coors, formerly of this place, and a. more delightful summer resort cannot be found anywhere.

AL friend, and myself, under the gaidaneft of a gendeman of goer acquaintance, Mr. Stahl; tt short time since, had the ,pleasure of visiting the ornament of your borough, Ever Green Cemetery, and, indeed, the loci- dents of tlutt visit. in eunuaetion with the urbanity, and well-timed kindness of oar con ductor, served greatly to enhanoa oar already high estimate of Gettysburg, her saviraus, and her citizens. This Cemetery is, I believe, within the confines of the borough Of Gettysburg, imme• diately south, thereof, and.a walk of lass than a mile brings the pedestrian to the tasteful and unique Lodge, Gate Way or Entrant*, to this "City of the Dead," than spiel& tlreilleet of man never trod a halter spot. ' Its extensive and commodious grounds WV abundantly planted with tare and choice trees of indigenou s and foreign growth, and traversed by winding and spacious avenues, whose sameness, and necessarily rather dull. formality, aro fully atoned for by the many and interesting ornaments of taste and order," which an improved and refined exorcise of social feeling has there reared as mementoes of affection, or to decofate places consecrated by holy remembrances. The southern surface of Ever Green, is, to some extent, covered with a wood of rigorous trees of native growth, and the whole area thereefolaturally circular, and sloping , grace. fully with an upward inclination from its circumference to its centre, is thereat suffi ciently contracted to be, and is, crowned with. a circular range of rocks, artificially placed in the perpendicular and oblique positions, and wearing the ancient, moss -covered. and mysterious air of the Druidical Stone Bengt., of England. Arrived at this point, let the beholder run his eye over the picture book of Nature, spread out before him—let him look around, and lie will instantly realize the fullness and scope of the enchanting and ever varying landscape—ho may trace a series of views so full, so entire, so grata, sublime, and ma& nificent, that hardly, if at all, can Nature present any 'tier effort of her, plastic hand to excel them, or, in any wise, possessing mare of the elements of rare `richness and beauty—true, here and there, may be found single and isolated catches of srencry, some of which, perhaps, may Eleanore beautiful hi their aspect of terror and dreary desolation, others, in the tameness of their simplicity, and, others again, in the awful 'sublimity of their grandeur, but no great combination of views so entire, with a continuity so extende4, with landscape so splendid, and with aLilt ing of such rare and exquisite beauty, can elsewhere i.e shown. Some of these views we-may hereafter sketch in detail, if it so please you, Mr. Editur—but fur the present, quantum .ntjrcit. The idea of rural burial places of the dead is not of modern origin. but rather a revival of an ancient custom. In Genesis xxiii, we learn of their use, if nut of their establish ment, in the time of Abraham. When Sarah, the epause of Abraham, had attained the age of one hundred and twenty and seven years, she died "at Kirpath-arba; the sums is Ile bron in'the land of Canaan," and Ahralnen c• ntracted for the "fitiel of Ephron, which was in Machpelalt, the field and the care which was therein, and all the trees that weru in the field, that were In all the burder's round about, were made sure unto Abrahams fur a possession of a bursting plane, by the sons of lleth," and therein were the dead of Abraham buried, The Hebrews, however, were not the only people who exercised reverence at* soliri— tude fur the burial places of theif dig& The Egypanne, Greeks, Etruscans, Turks, with their Cypress-covered Winks, and other an base, from time immemorial, displayed the strength and refinement of their social affections, by unwearied attention to the se lection and decoration of rural places of in terment. "Tu confident repose in Cod and reverence fur the 4 man," has ever, and will ever, well- • •,,e;!s e breast of humanitj. and beautifully we one said, " it is is be regretted th every city and town has nut its consecrated spot, rural and ornate, se cluded and inviting, as a place of resort fur the citizen, oppressed with the sorrows, or wearied with the toils of life; and fur the stranger sojourning by the way. Such pl.tees of resort sena reverently to honor the dead, perpetuate the memory of their virtues, and confirm a just estimate of their good deeds. whilst they reflect honor on the living, and bear testimony to the cultitatiou of the best feelings of our nature. The rural and ornate Cemetery in the vi cinity of city or town, is the common ground upon which all parties can meet in forgive ness and harmony ; it is the lap of the cow man mother which receives at last, in nu un kind embrace. all her children, however wide ly sundered in their lives by the jarring con troversies of their day. Let nu man tread with levity or profaneness the mazes of the Cemetery grounds ; it is the Christian's com mentary on the truths and the hopes he holds most sacred. Let these groutishebe reverent ly encouraged amid supported by all our Pel'Ple• Comtuunlentekl To the beauties of nature let ns continue to add the skill of the sculptor, the graceful tasta of the florist, the chastened design of the architect, and let the genial' and talents of the land throw around the whole their.most exalted strains of poetry and of relish:tut feeling." In this paper, already too long, I have not attempted to &Wine myself to a descrip tion of the beautiful and interesting charac teristics of Ever Green Cemetery, nor to those of the surrounding country; they are, how ei er, neither few not barren, but multitudin ous and richly frenght with the elements of exquisite beunty and interest, and it shall bei my pleasure, in some future numbers of the Compiler, to describe, as best I may, this " garner of mortality," and show, if I can. that it is right and highly proper, that the " night's resting place of the toatib r whiett all must reach by treading the. burning sad' arid path through the fiery desert or desire and disappointment," should la the Moo ended spot around which affectionaffection may fond ly linger, and • Its embellishments, those which lure and remembrance 'may deep} proper and meet. 2 .71 40 " few are sorry to learn that typhoid ;swans to an *Liman extat is 1411 $ Bean and Tiaistity.
