Sykes delivered a Lecture last evening, upon the interesting subjects of Natural Philosophy and Mesmerism, before an intelligent audience, at the Court House, in Strouslurg, which happily combined instruction with amusement. By the agency of his philosophical apparatus, he unfolded the wonders of Electro and Animal Mag netism showed the propelling power of electri city, by three new and improved electrical engines, suspended gravitation, or rather overpowered it as philosophy will not admit of the suspension of gravitation by which a piece of iron was floated in mid-air- explaining the mystery of Mahomet's coffin, and remarks upon Oersted's magic circle, with experiments. There were many other expe riments, of a truly interesting character, which j we cannot at present notice. One, however, of a' very exciting nature, we must not omit. A kitten was placed under the glass receiver of an Air- Pump, and the air pumped from it till it fainted and died. It was then taken in a lifeless state from the receiver, and restored to life by a galva nic battery ; the repeated shocks of which sent young grimalkin hopping from the operator's hands. The Doctor's splendid philosophical ap paratus enabled him to explain practically what he promulgates theoretically, and his faculty of discussing the scientific subjects which he intro duces, in an easy and at the same time graphic manner, never fails, we .should think, to instruct and delight his hearers. The Doctor will give another Lecture this evening in the Court House, at which place we contemplate a general rush, as his bill presents peculiar attractions. Congressman. The Locofocos of this Congressional District have been at it hard to out-manoeuvre each other in the selection of their favorite, as a candidate for Congress at the October election. The contest has been principally between Hamlin, of Wayne, M. M. Diraraick of Monroe, and Asa Packer, of Carbon. Mr. Pimmick, has already secured -the Conferees of Northampton and Monroe, and will no doubt get the nomination. The Convention meets in Stroudsburg.on Mon jday next. The Assembly Ticket. 'The Locofocos have completed their Assembly Ticket. It is as follows : B. S. Schoonover, Stroudsburg, Joseph Laubach, Bath. Chas. A. Luckenbach, Bethlehem. Great Demonstration at Harrisburg. After the business of the Whig State Conven vention at Harrisburg, on the 31st ult. an immense Mass Meeting assemblsd to ratify the proceedings, and express their devotion to the Whig cause, and the nominees of the party . James Cooper presi ded assisted by two Vice Presidents from each Congressional district in the State. Mr. Cooper addressed the immense mass at length, in his u- sual able and eloquent manner urging every true Whig to do all in his power to elect Taylor; Fill more, Johnston and Middleswarth, After he' had concluded ' Gov. Johnston, being loudly called for, came forward and addressed the meeting with extraor dinary ability and eloquence dwelling upon the importance of arresting the downward progress of our national government, and the corrupting sys tem by which the party in power is seeking to perpetuate its rule. He contended most earnest ly for the protective policy, which has become a question peculiar to the Whig party, essential to the interests of Pennsylvania, and to the perma nent prosperity and independence of our whole people. His opposition to the extension of sla very was expressed in the most decided and em phatic manner contending that Pennsylvania's ancient poilicy on this question must now prevail, and that she cannot now pursue an opposite course. James Dunlap of Pittsburg, and Morton Mc- Michael of Philadelphia, followed in eloquent speeches, and the meeting adjourned with a mag nificent display of fireworks in honor of the' occa sion.

The following, says the Petersburg Intelligencer, from the pen of the editor of the Union, in May, 1816, before Gen. Taylor was thought of for the Presidency, will show the real opinion of Father Richie, and how little reliance is to be placed up on efforts from the same quarter to disparage the Old Hero : THE PEN WORTHY OF THE SWORD.' 4 Nothing can be more happy, appropriate, mo dest, yet dignified, than the despatches from Gen. Tavlor. They are worthy of the man and of the occasion which has called them forth. We thor oughly agree with the compliment that the New Orleans Courier pays to the general order of Gen, Taylor, ' giving thanks to his troops for their bra very and good conduct.' ' The American reader will remark with pride and pleasure, the striking contrast it exhibits to the tedious, extravagant, vainglorious productions of the Mexican General. The neatness of the style is admirable not a word too much or in the wrong place all in fink keeping with the energy and decision with which his military operations are conducted.'' From the Semi Weekly' Union of May 30, 1846. Let it be borne in mind, by every honest Penn sylvanian, that there is but one man now before the people of the United States, who is not " pledged" in favor of free tradethat man is the honest-hearted old soldier of Buena Vista. The Locofocos may slander and abuse him as they will, he. will remain the peoples' friend, and disregard noisy partizans. Bets on the Kentucky election. We understand that the Democrats in Washing ton city have lost $50,000 on the Kentucky , Gu bernatorial election. Boyd, it is said, lost $6,000. The bets ranged from 2,000 to 5,000 majority for Crittenden, and of course the backers of Crit tenden, have won all. The 'boastings of the Lo cofoco central committee of Kentucky has been a sore business to their friends abroad. Louis ville Journal. A Fizzle Out. A. fe w days before the meeting of the Lpcofodo, State Convention, the Locofocos of Harrisburg is sued a mammoth hand-bill for a Grand State Mass Meeting of the Democracy, in the market -Square, on the Evening of Wednesday, August 30th. It was printed on an immense mammoth sheet, about 12 feet by 6 feet in dimensions, and with types a foot in length. We involuntarily trembled when we looked at it, for we thought if the Meeting should be in proportion to the size of the hand bill, it would certainly be a rouser. Well, the day came we awaited in fear to see the Democ racy pouring into the town like " an army with banners. The morning cars arrived ; but hot the Democracy. The afternoon train came ; but lo, still no Democracy. The afternoon passed away, and evening came, the appointed time for the gath ering. -Still not a sound was heard, not a note of preparation greeted our ears. We hurried into Market Square but no lanterns, resplendent with Cass in all his fatness, or Butler in all his ugliness, appeared darkness, like a pall overshadowed the speaker's stand the Democracy were nan est in ventus. We began " to breethe freer and deeper'' but we checked our rejoicings as premature, and supposed it would be held on the morrow. The morrow came ; and with it came the Whig masses, in countless numbers, from every point of the compass ; but still no " Democracy." In the course of the day, the speaker's stand disappeared mysteriously the Grand Mass Meeting of the Cass Democracy had " fizzled, out" and the lead ers mizzled home, with fear and trembling. Poor Cass thy days are numbered. Telegraph. Governor Johnston's Visit to Easton. Governor Johnston's visit to our section of coun try, has been already productive of great, gdod to the Whig cause. He has won for himself many friends, who take a deep interest in his election who before their acquainiance with him. were lukewarm. His speeches have been able and strong discussions of principles, without a word that could give offence to the most sensative op ponent. He was received at Alleutown Lehigh county with great enthusiasm, where he spoke both in the afternoon and evening. On Friday morn ing our Committee of Reception, took him in charge. At Bethlehem the citizens were in waiting in front of the Sun Hotel, and hpon his arrival he was re ceived with the music of the fine band for which that borough is so famed. He addressed a large audience from the porch of the hotel, in an able and most acceptable speech, and then visited the seminary, church, and other points of interest. When approaching Easton he was met by a fine band of music who escorted him to Mrs. White's Hotel, where" our favorite Easton Band, welcomed him. Crouds of citizens called upon him during the afternoon, and all were highly pleased and de lighted. Of the meeting in the evening, we have given a full account. On Saturday the Governor visited Nazareth and Bath. At the latter place he made a plain, powerful speech to a large audience, who had assembled to meet him. He remained in Easton until Monday morning when he accompa nied a Committee from Mauch Chunk to that place. Possessed of fine appearance, pleasing manners and strong, judicious intellect, Gov. Johnston can not fail to be a favorite wherever he goes. We now have every confidence in his election. The people see he is capable and honest and are desi rous that he shall have a fair trial at the head of our state affairs. Whig. Candid Admission. Caleb Cushing, in addressing the Cass men at Boston, the other day, admitted, as. all locos must, that Gen. Tsylor is an honest man. Well, let us have an honest man for President, and he will conduct the affairs of the nation in an honorable and upright manner. " An honest man is the man we want" The Washington "Union" publishes a telegraph ic message of three lines from the city of New York, commencing thus : " The Cass stock rises every day." Of conrse the writer must mean that it rises after the manner of a balloon, which grows less and less visible the higher it.goes1 . The Cass stock has thus risen so high that it is already out of sight. N. Y. Cojjimcrcial Advertiser. Crops, in Wisconsin We take the following brief statement of the condition of the Crops, in our-new State from the Racine Advocate of the 16th ult. The damage to the Wheat by Rot, believed a week or two since to be considerable in our neigh borhood, is now said to be very little. The Potato Rot,, we are told, has made its ap pearance in -one or two towns of this County; Corn during the 'past week, Jias-; been 'doing a thriving business. The Foreign News. By the arrival of the .steamship Washington, at New York, on Thursday last, we have later in telligence from Europe. The news, however, is not very important. The potato 'lot in Ireland is spreading with fearful rapidity. Another insur rection is apprehended in France, but we cannot see that there is any reasonable grounds for it. Import of English Iron.

From the Pennsylvania Inquirer, THE PjROSPECT IffOlIIO. f Cheering for Taylor. . CASS AT-HOME. It will l)e remembered tha't the Washington U nion very recently published an estimate with re gard to the next Presidency, in which Gen. Cass was elected by a majority of, seven votes.,. But in order to accomplish this result, the editor of the official classed the Whig State of Ohio, with its twenty-three electoral votes, for the Baltimore nominee. The absurdity of such a calculation was so apparent, that even many of the friends of the Administration said that the Union had made a sad blunder had indirectly given up the contest. At the. last Presidential struggle, the majority for Mr. Clay in Ohio, was 5940 ! At that time, too, it should be remembered, the Anti-Slavery party was regularly inthe field in that State, and polled 8050 votes. On wnat principle, therefore, Ohio should be put down as a Loco Foco State, we 1 are puzzled to conceive. We have riot a doubt as to the result, and believe that it will go for Taylor and Fillmore., and by a larger Whig majority than it gave in 1844. This belief is founded on infor mation from the best sources. The Whig press there is perfectly united, and advocates the Phila delphia nominees with zeal and enthusiasm. Mr. Corwin has taken the stump, and his powerful el oquence and great popularity cannot but exercise a most salutary influence Ohio we regard as one of the most decided Whig Stats in the Union; and it is therefore that we feel such entire confi dence in the election of Gen. Taylor. The case is, indeed, perfectly plairi. He will carry every State that the, Whigs carried in 1844, amounting in all to 105 electoral votes. He will also carry New York and Louisiana: 42 electoral votes. These will form an aggregate of 147, or one more than enough to elect. But in addition, the pros pect is highly favorable in Georgia, in Virginia, in Pennsylvania, in Florida, and several other States. Even in Michigan, the chance for Taylor is by no means discouraging. Only yesterday, we received a Detioit paper, the Daily Advertiser, which con tained the following.: Jackson, Michigan, June 29th, 1848. Dear Sir - The people of this -State are wide awake on politics. There are a great many Anti-Cass Democrats. Should or could the elections come off this week, he would be de bated in his own State. The Whigs are much better united on their candidate, and feel confident of success. You know that lama radical Democrat, but I cannot support Gen. Cass for the Presidency. He plays a double game which I despise in any man, and he has no sympathy for the Barnburners. If you have any Democrats in your State, reck oning upon the election of Cass, you tell them he cannot be elected. Tell" this from me, that he cannot carry his own State. Yours truly, I. L. TOBEY, E. H. Porter, Esq., Charlemont, Mass. The same paper contains the annexed account of a failure of a Cass Meeting Failure of a Cass Meeting. The Locofocos of Lenawee Co. called a " Mass" Meeting on the 15th, which was heralded far and wide as something that " was to be" a great affair. The Free Press urged and begged the faithful to be on hand, and talked about " making arrange ments" with boats and railroads to carry the im mense crowds that were going from here and " all along the way." We had made up our mind that somewhere from 20 to 50,000 people were to be there. " Several distinguished orators" were an nounced, and. great preparation made, for a great outpouring of Cassites from all parts of the State and adjoining States. Well, the 15th arrived the u Mass Meeting proved a. perfect failure so much so that even the Free Press is ashamed to notice it, and never has to this day told the world the re sult of that tremendous meeting it was agitating a few days since. That the world may know some thing of it we subjoin some account of it from the Adrian Expositor : " At an early hour immense crowds of from 2 to 6 persons might be seen gathered around all the corners of the streets where Main and Maumee cross there eyes enthusiastically turned towards a cotton sign of " Cass and Butler," in front of "Union Hall." This sign tapered towards a point and pointed south an bminious sign. " Long before noon the processions from the different towns began to pour into the village. It was impossible for us to behold all the immense trains of carriages coming from all points of the compass ; suffice it to say, that they came in, al most endless lines of teams of icdm one to six in number." (The enthusiastic Cassocracy of Blissfield uni ted with those of Palmyra and Raisen came on one wagon, with a magnificent band of music, con sisting of one superannuated banjo.) The Expositor states that the cheers were giv en in the most orderly manner possible, without apy "noise and confusion. The total number in .attendance around the speaker's stand, where ap ples, soda, ginger pop, ginger bread and raw whis key were the principle attractions, is said to have been from 2 to 300j, including Cass men, Taylor men, Van Buren men, Bobolinks, boys, horses, wagons, oxen, dogs, &c. &c. The whole thing turned out a total failure,: and indicates very clearly the: amount of " Cask en thusiasm" among the people, In brief, the skies are' bright for the Whig cause.

Tim most prominent changes are in the Democratic and Abolition (owns to Free Sorters. The Duty of all Good Wlilge'in the Pre ffHt Emergency, While we have encouraging accounts from abroad, our friend should not suffer themselves to neglect their own political duties in their own Stale and District. However confident we may feel of carrying any State for the Whigs, we mosi remember lhat no State will carry 'itself. W e must employ the usual roeans; we must perfecr and extend our organization ; we must circulate political information ; and we must see that the full Whig vote is brought to the polls. There is ample time'to do all this, yet there is no time to spare, none lo be wasted, in inactivity. Ever? a$ has a putt to. perform ; every Whig should act as a self constituted committee, and should make ii tm chief business for the coming two month to help elect Taylor and Fillcre. He can do no other business half so profitable. No man who is interested in the prosperity of his country can do any thing half so profitable,, from this day till the 7th of November, as to devote himself to politics. When the nomination of General TAYtbifc. was first announced the Whig party seemedito think that the election was already twon, and that they had nothing to do except lo vole such of them a.s mighi find it convenient im November ; and some seemed io think lhat iu was hardly necessary to do this, but lhat one Wnig would count against as many Locofoco-r-as one American did against Mexicans at Bue na Visia. They thought that ihe(Harrion cam paign was to be fought over again, but ibey for got thai the Harrison campaign did not Might itself. They forgot the extensive means wkich were employed to carry that election : how the? whole body of the Whig party gave themselves up to politics, and did no other business. The same energy, the same exertions now will ac complish the same results ; and lisilessneas and? inactivity now will accomplish what Jistlessness and activity would have accomplished then. Thfr Whigs are just beginning to find out their mis take ; they are just beginning lo see that, if they mean to elect General Taylor, ihey must work for it : and, having come to that wise conclusion, we have no doubt that ihey will fol low it up with the necessary exertions. Leu us avail ourselves of the good feeling which is: now starting, of the enthusiasm which is kind ling all over the land, and a glorious triumph for the country will reward our efforts !
