From the JU-witown IXmocrut- Mcrestlcg Letter from Europe. 3IE.NS, DiiPARTMEXT DE L'lSEltE, FRANCE, Among the Alps, June 27, 1501. Agreeable to your request, I have much jileasure m writing to you, particularly from this ;lace, ?Iens, where sonic of the scenes mentioned in D'Auligue's History of the lleforination took place, and be cause 1 can trive vou some account of the A'audois, (the Waldeuses,) whose descen dants are here and whose religion is here, although this town is but on the outskirts of their country. Uut first, as this is an age of panoramas, let me give you a bird's-eye view of my tour to these "Al pine solitudes." Whoever has been out on "the wild waste of waters," for thirty consecutive days, in an old fashioned ship, from New York to Liverpool, knows some thing about the thousand and one refuges that a ship's company must make to "kill time." Uad word that, too, but let the retailer of "wise saws" make the voyage, and he will discover that he is obliged to make himself agreeable to each one of the mongrel, circumscribed little world, a crowded ship. And boating on the At lantic, in a sail vessel, the last half of the voyage, a about as monotonous as a vovage up the West Iranch canal, unless it is when old Xtptuue gets his back up and demands the customary but unpleasant tribute at the shrine of sea knowledge. Then is the time, when every body is looking things unutterable, over the ship's side, and when every body, as he holds on to the ropes, and walls his eyes at the sharks and porpoises, and eea cus, receivers of the tribute then is the time that the men of all nations arc all brought two under each arm ; but Larry would sometimes exaggerate. Even the verita ble "sod" from which St. Patrick drove the snakes was a gratifying sight, as long as wc could sec it, fur we were soon among the English fogx, of all fogs the thickest, and approaching the country where the year is said to be divided into eight months of winter and four months of bad weather. Anchored out in the stream, Liverpool looms up through the fog, with its railroad running over the tops of the houses, and again passing un der the hill, on which compact ranges of bouacsaro built, which is a very common way of economizing space in the cities of England and France through which rail- some public gathering. We buy some is an old clock in the tower, which they milk to drink, and return. A rather dis- tell me is a thousand years old. The pnss tiuguished looking Englishman was sitting ! of Hannibal and Cawar is near hers. on his horse, near the train, and we asked him about the exhibition at Loudon. "It is the worst thing that ever happened England," he replied. " All the world will carry off our inventions and improve ments, and England will be ruined," he continued. "Then you think it is imposs ible for England to learn any thing from other nations -from the Yankees, for in stance" a-ked our Yankee phrenologist, with Yankee cutencss, and a joke in his eye. "Jlaw! sneered John Bull. "Yan kees ! they are the laughing stock of all nations." "Especially of England," waj-s pas. The docks are all that is quickly added our Yankee, " when Wash- striking to an American just arrived in Liverpool. Wc have nothinrr of the sort in America. Anchored out in the stream, yousee nothing of the thousand ship? in port, except their masts and rigging. Lab- ington and Jackson made John laujh, at two different times, on Vie wrowj Me of . his moutli." All this harrowing up old prejudices is wrong, but with wealthy and titled Englishmen all the old elements of yrmtlis of high, winding stone walls and j hatred towards the United States gtill dray roads are between you and them, and ; exist, and you might as well whistle jigs the vessels are shut in with massive gates, j to mile-stones, and expect to see them The custom house opens a new woill ;danec, as to try to move one of these old ogain a re-union of the voyagcurs of a fashioned, easy living John Bulls in his dozen ships, perhaps.

The middle and poorer When I shall havo learned a little more Italian, I expect to visit Turin, in Sar dinia, by way of this pass over the Alps. Uather a striking contrast it is, to sec the snow on the lofty peaks of the Alps near you, when you arc looking at the silk workers pulling leaves for silk worms, or vine dressers working in the vineyards. But this you can sec at this little olcfcown of Mens, of 2000 inhabitants, half of whom are protestant, the other half catholic. But speaking of contrasts, the other even ing I saw a circle of voung women sitting under an arbor of vines and flowers, spin ning silk, mtiking kid gloves, and sipping red wine.

''The north wind driveth away rain ; so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue." Salomon. Mrs. Chalmers of Anstruthcr, mother of the Doctor, had an extreme dislike to all pretty scandal. She had one rule, which she made known among her ac quaintances, and which she rigidly fol lowed. " Whenever told of any thing that a neighbor had said or done amiss fdie instantly put on her bonnet and went at once to the person, and told what had been said, and who had said it, and asked if it was true." Those who follow this rule, we opine, will seldom have occasion 'to execute it. They who smile at scandal, or listen to it complacently, obey rot the injunction of the wise man, ne who pours scandal into my cars gives mc just occasion to be angry. He offends my good sense by presuming that I wish to make my head a lumber room instead of a storehouse of useful knowledge ; he of fends my good taste by presuming that I love gossip ; he offends my piety by thinking that I will "rejoice in iniquity." I am justified by the wisest of men in "looking him out of countenance." A". Y. Observer. ct.

The fact is, sail ves sels, like canal packets, are too slow for this progressive age, and for the short life time we have to do everything in. The old world and the new has but just dis covered this grand secret, and all that is wanting to bring them into about as near proximity, comparatively, as Philadelphia and Pittsburg will be when your railroad is completed, is, that competition bring down the price of passage one-half, which, it is thought, will pay very well. But, saying nothing of the Brazilian '. captain of the vessel, and the negro stew ard and his Scotch wife of sandy ringlets ; passing over the blustering old English Quaker, of Rochester, New York, who found fault with every thing in the States, and declared that the women of the States pretty generally all swore and did crimes they would be hung for in England, whereat I and one Mr. Flagg, consul to Venice, took occasion every day or two to stir up the old wretch, and make him bel low and boil over with rage to say noth ing more of him, or of the crazy Yankee phrenologist who lectured gratis every few nights, in the steerage, and examined bumps at a dime a head, without charging for the somersets and ground and lofty tumbling in day-time, which, by the way, was a Yankee trick to bring out subjects to his night lectures ; and passing by the returning organ grinder, and the Scotch, SJmc everyday, or else there is an Egyjt ian fog, almost think enough to drive a nail into to hang your hat on.

A railroad depot in Liverpool is something more substan tial looking than anything of the kind in America. One of these in Liverpool you reach by a winding way, an ascending stone street But, ho I for London. There arc three grades of cars. The ten thou, sands go in the parliamentary train so called because parliament made a law that each railway should have one train that charged but a penny a mile, and stopped at all the stations, for the accommodation of the public. Lord John Russell added to his popularity by first proposing this measure. But, you take your scat in the cars, always entering in at the side, never at the ends, look down the chimnics of part of the town, and pass under the re mainder of it, and you arc out into mcrric England. What's the rrospect? Pros pect ? garden-like sometimes, and some times anything but that. Wind mills, (spectral-looking winged things on hill tops) ; hedge fences and tall shafts (chim nics) of coal pits arc numerous ; but you sec no farm houses scarcely, and you are almost tempted to inquire where does everybody live ? The truth is there arc but few independent farmers ; the nobles own the country, and the dwellings and barns of the farmers arc but poor affairs, compared with those of the State?. But something is wrong with our train, " the railroad stops," and half a dozen of us go Irish, and French, who all intend to re- half a mile np a hedged lane to see a farm turn, and bring all their kin, if they can ; and leaving the Irish Jesuit monk to his own gloomy meditations for he walked the deck alone and spoke to nobody, while a poor Mormon woman in the steerage waited on the sick and prayed over them, and was the first to run to the assistance of the third mate, who fell fifty feet upon the forccasltc, in a gale, at which times the captain always swore harder than ever. Leaving all this for a variegated back ground to the panorama, we sweep around the southeast coast of Ireland for half a day, seeing nothing but lofty ranges of rocky hills, without trees on them, where herds of small, black cattle graze cattle so small that, as some Larry, a wild Irish house. It was a long, low, vine-covered. ancient looking fabric,thatchcd with straw. We pass by to the barn-yard to look at the stock. Everything looks fat There's the philosophical looking old hog, grazing in the lane. He merely looks out of the corner of his eye at the visitors, and his bland countenance indicates that ho is en tirely satisfied with his present condition. Then there arc the fat ducks that won't get out of the way, the vociferous guineas and the gallant roosters, each with his harem of hens, making all the noise they can, just the reverse of the jolly old hog. "How do wc do ?" said the wholesome looking tenant, with his red neckhandker chief and Sunday waistcoat on, for he was man on board, toldmcj, a man could carrjr 'about to mount Lis fattest horse and go to their royal legs and view the city. One would suppose, fiom what one reads, that London is a sort of earthly Paradise, and that a man who lives there must be a sort of Sardanapalus. This may be the case with some of the titled class, and no doubt the fat Archbishop of London, with his salary of about 75000, a year, feels quite comfortable ; but it seems to mc that to the middle and poorer classes, London is a nice little purgatory. You step into a becr-shop for every place one stops to rest himself is a lcr-shop, and the stiplc commodity of London, is beer, beer, al ways beer. There you sco the eleck Englishman, rosy with beer, and tolerably genteel looking women, young and old, with their husbands and gallants, all en joying their beer, and the men all smoking long pipes. They grow talkative, and their eyes begin to roll, as they sip and smoke and rest themscves, and smile fa miliarly at each other, as if they had met before, but had almost forgotten when or where. This is the way Londoners attain that material felicity by means of which they think themselves in a sort of Maho uicdan paradise. Of the World's Fair I need not speak. Of course, it is a grand affair, and all the ingenuity of man is to be seen there, be sides numerous specimens of people of all the civilized nations, with a sprinkling of Egyptians, Turks, Greeks and Pachas of as many tails as you please, but to an American, whoso country is no "pent up Utica," the crystal palace appears much smaller than he expected to find it But I find I must be brief, and of the Fair you you have the accounts in the papers. The paper on which I write this, is of the weight of a single letter in France, and of the eights in London, Paris, France and the Alps, near Sardinia, where I now am at a school, (the object of which is the ed ucation of teachers of the French language in particular,) I may write you again if you will pardon mc for only barely men tioning what I proposed to givo you some account of at the commencement of this letter.

Forjder a law prohibiting the publication of French politics sec the papers, but as far as I can discover, republican liberty here in France is all a humbug. All this re gion of France is in a state of siege at present Why? For no other reason than because the people hero arc nearly all re publican, all the protestants at least, and the royalist parties in the national assem bly, when united, out-number the repub lican party, or the party of the mountain. The Bonapartist, the Louis Phillipist or Orleans party and the Henry cinquist, (Bourbon and party of the legitimate king,) these three, when they unite, out number the mountain. Many republican papers in this quarter have been suppressed, and several republican departments in the south-cast of France, are now under mili tary government The Bonaparte party arc making strenuous efforts to have the present coustiution altered so that Louis Napoleon will be eligible to another term, but with tho republicans his days are num bered, unless these fickle French should change their minds. But this Monday, numerous shepherds with their flocks and dissenting opinions and not requiring the votes of the judges upon the respective ca ses to be made public. True, unprinci pled men in any office, are a curse, but they are iu no place a greater evil to a community than in the judgment seat We rejoice therefore that party feal ty in the matter under consideration, however willingly rendered, as it always is by the Democrats of Chester county, where great principles and measures of gov ernment are dependent upon the result, docs not call upon us in this case to fall in rank and do battle regardless of consequen ces, at the dictation of a body which has misrepresented its constituents and disgra ced itself by some nominations " not lit to be made." That democrats of the State have accorded with us in our views of this subject, wc have the evidence iu the fact, that it was deemed proper by our Central Committee to separate the business of ma king the judicial nominations from the or dinary political nominations of the party, for the avowed purpose of effecting tho no minations of the best meu upon our judi- loadcd donkeys, arc passing through the ! cial ticket. True it is that the call of the town. 1 hey go to camp in the Alps, and stay with their flocks till their provisions fail. Half-a-dozen large goats with large bells on, go in advance of the flock, the loaded donkey comes next, the sheep after them, the shepherd's dogs at the sides of the flock, and the shepherds all behind. To me these shepherd's dogs and goats seem to show more sense in their move ments than those who assisted at the pro cession of the host yesterday. The gal lant looking goats often get some distance ahead, and it is amusing to see them turn around, stamp their feet and bawl. The dogs understand the orders, hurry up the sheep, and the goats move on with quite Committee tor a separate convention was attempted to be countermanded by a sin ister influence in the city of Philadelphia, yet this effort proved an utter failure, and the majority of the committee had the sat isfaction of seeing their worthy purpose sanctioned by the almost unanimous voice of an honest constituency. believe have placed upon the ticket nomi nees whose places should have been filled by other and better meu.

Are the people prepared to t .derate per sonal electioneering fur the office of Judge, however saeakingly or cunningly it may be gone about ? Success embolden. If nominations ef fected by fraud are successful this year, will opposition be more modest next? There must be an end of this,or the strensth of the Democratic party is gono. The cor rupt men aspiring to the lead of late years must be thrust back to their proper pla ces. Their object is office and plunder, we must defeat them in their process at all hazards. Wc must strike now: the occa sion is too important to admit of delay. Although we in Chester county constitute but a small portion of the ranks of the par ty iu the State, we have our rights and will at least try to maintain them. If oth ers are williug to truckle to corruption and intrigue, we aw not. Nevertheless wo have conSdence iu the virtue of the mass es, aud with their help we hope to be somewhat instrumental in purifying party morals. We call upon all good men to be assisting.
