At the mayor's election in Reading on Friday, the Opposition candidate was elected by but 185 ma jority. A year ago the same officer Lad upwards a 900—thus showing a gain in favor of the Democracy in that time of 800! A Culimy ratification meeting came off in this city on Saturday night last. I am told that, enthusiasm was sadly lacking-I-that when, for instance, three cheers were proposed for the Ventral Itepublican Club, the first was so weak. ly given as to discoanige any attempt at a — second. Mr. Curtin made u speech —bat which did him more harm than good. i Daring it he endeavored to NOW that the people of this city should, out of gratitude to the State, elect a " Poqple's" Mayor, and then said The•eity of Philadelphia has no com merce, she -has no trade, and it is the vast Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that supports her and keeps her in her advancing strides." • This has mortified many of the merchants of the city, and they are not slow to say it.

The United States sloop of war Saratop wps ordered by Com modore Jarvis to proceed ti) the an: chorago of the steamers and ascertain their character. The sloop's hail was answered by cannon and musket shale, whereupon the Saratoga fired a broad side into her, and .the action became general; bat it was soon decided in favor of the Americans. In the fight three Americans were wounded, one mortally. The Mexican loss is reported 15 killed and 30 wounded. It is sup , posed that the wily Santa Anna is again seeking the supreme power in Mexico, and hopes to accomplish his purpose by provoking a quarrel with the United States. Ho is destined to receive another sound thrashing. Philadelphia is still improving. Last season a number of magnificent build ings were put up, and more will be add ed the coming summer.

The Democracy of Pennsylvania will enter upon the approaching political campaign with the most chsering pros pects of success. The harmonious and conciliatory action of the Reading Con vention has slosied np every breach in our ranks, and from all quarters of tho Commonwealth the news comes up that "all is well." Ratification meetings have been hold in the cities and princi pal towns, and Leeomptou and Anti- Lecompton Democrats, anti old-lino Whigs, have spoken from the sumo stand to enthusiastic assemblages of the people. These demonstrations have struck the heart of the Opposition with terror. They read their fate in the spectacle of a cordially united Democracy. They no longer scoff ae the idea of the election of the Charleston nominee. They feel that Pennsylvania is about to resume her station in the Democratic ranks, and well do they know that "as goes Pennsylvania so goes the Union." Since thanomination of Gen. Porrza as the Democratic candidate for Gover nor, the more sagaciou leaders of the opposition see the great mistake they made in permitting CANIENON to set up Mr. CURTIN. They know that CURTIN is not the right man to put against the Democratic nominee. Asa bar-room politician he has very few superiors, and as a relator of smutty anecdotes ho hps scarcely a rival ; but these acquirements will bo of slender service to him when ho is called upon tp answer the able and dignified arguments of Haan' B. Foams before an intelligenS.

And there ho would have been permitted to re main, bad not CAMERON thopght that he might be made serviceable in whip ping the bolters of 11555 into the Win nebago council.

The Easton Argus says, truly, that the proceedings of the Reading Convention are not altogether agreeable to the Black Republican papers. The nomina tion of so high-toned and eminent a gentleman as Gen. Forma, hits taken them by surprise, and disturbs their temrers. They are as cross as so many sore-headed boars, and declare that the Convention acted very badly in not nominating either Mr. Wirrs or Fay. It is none of their business, w' ithagine, how the Democratic party fixes tip its little family affairs, and they have nn right to grumble. We nominated our best man and we intend to elect him too. The .Democratic party is once more united. Lecoinplon and anti-Le eompton are dead and buried, and hence forth we are a happy family. So stand from under. Abolition Practice as.

This was done, but without effect, for the distressed debtor Could not raise the funds. This Repub. licao firm then wrote to have the chil dren sold to pay a debt of $6OO. It was done, and these worse specimens of humanity than all the Lcgrees that could be coined by the vivid imagination of the Abolition Mrs. Stowe, received their dues. bar The Charleston Convention will vote by Staten, eacti State casting as many rotes as in the electoral college ; but by a resolution adopted at Cincin nati the Convention will be composed of twice ail many delegates as voters.— ' Classitied into flee and chive States, the former will send 888 against 240 from Ale litter.

Such are the sentiments that the lack Republican party, are at present culcating upon the public mind. Sec t nal, bigoted, intolerant, they de nbunoo and vilify all citizens who do not agree with them in their politics and their religion. In their own opin ion they are the saints, political and re ligions, and all others are hclerodl and heretical. But still, these high strung gentlemen (and some of them obgbt to be "strung" a good deal high- t e than they , are,) are not so intolerant tat they . will not accept Irish, Catlio li6, or even "negrordriving" Democrat i i t votes, when they wart office, and we 1 ve no doubt that some of them will ,bb about within the next throe weeks, soliciting aid from tivi mon they etig.

Tho Opposition have discovered, to their astonishment, that the people, the consistent and honest people, will be no longer deceived, mis. led and .eheited by a set of worthless, soulless political knaves. They per- ceive that the men who have so long been following the Republican flag are leaving by scores, and arc flocking back and ra;lying around the good old time worn Bug that waved so gallantly in the days of Jefferson and Jackson. The Democracy have put their giant shoulders to the wheel, and once more rejoicing in the anticipation of an over whelming and decisive victory.

Let us energetically raise up the time-worn flag that has so long traded in the dust, and wave it from Luke Erio to the Dela- ware.

Arouse, Democrats, in the majesty of your strength, and east off the pol luting curse of Republieanism.—State Sentinel. liirThe New York Tribune grows characteristically abusive over the Pennsylvania Democracy because one of the resolutions of the Reading Con vention alludes to the modification of tho Tariff as the unwise legislation of the Republican party of 1857. The authors of this resolve, are mildly called knaves and swindlers, because "the Republi ears had not, a majnnt3- in the House, and did not compose a heath of the Senate." Now it: cannot be denied that the Re publicans elected N. P. Banks Speaker of titre House; that he constituted the committees with a majority of Republi cans; that the reduced Tariff of 1857 was the work of one of the committees; that the Speaker favored this reduction; that large sums of money were collect ed in New England and used in the ac complishment of this purpose; and that it could not have been accomplish ed without Republican assistance, As a general rule it is proper to hold the party commanding the organization of the Rouse accountable for its public measures. Why not in this case? The Tribune admits that the bill was "supported and opposed by dlerhbers of all parties," and yet, in the face of this, the Republicans of this State seek to pursuade the people that the Republi can party is committed to a protective tariff: Who is trying to cheat ?
