ADAM HOLLIDAIVEBCF—We neglected last week to return our thanks to this gen tleman for his exertions, in getting out the whig vote at the election. We believe there are many others in the county deserv ing of praise for their efforts in their respec tive district s ar d we shall cheerfully toccrd it, when their ser iiccs are duly reported. Mr. Holliday took his team with a load of whig voters, and we recommend him to the favorable consideration of his whig brethren: Tito next President Pennsylvania has already declared her preference for the next Whig Presidential candidate, and we suppose there will be no attempt to introduce any other one to the consideration of the Whigs of this State, for nomination. The small detachment of ' Whigs charged with the duty of defeating Gov. Johnston, will probably bluster and talk in favor of Filmore or Webster, as long as they believe the advocacy of 'those gentlemen's claims will materially enhance the sale of calico and brown muslin.— Should they conclude however, that as much of those articles would be sold by the advocacy of Gen. Scott for President, they would rush to his standard, n!fh thel prestige of victory glittering in their eyes.f Many will doubtless advocate the above mentioned gentlemen ou account of the stupendous relation they bear to the public funds, but the great whig people have de termined to vote for the man, whose name, the thunder of our cannon has carried round the world, and the time has come when they will submit to no denial. We advo cate the nomination of Gen. Scott, as a member and in the name, of the Great Whig party of the United States, regard less of all or any sectionalism,—confidant,' yea certain, that he will administer the constitution and laws in their very letter and spirit and maintain the Union with vigor and constancy against all assailants both within and without. With hint victo ry is certain and without him defeat is in evitable. We are a friend and admirer of the ;d -ministration of Mr. Filmore, and although we bCeve it to he on 3 of rare prudence, vigor, ability and patriotism, still its head could not command the enthusitistic sup port by the people, which would be accor ded to Gen. Scott, and while we support the latter we detract nothing from the for- Me r. IC? CHARM! GILPIN, Esq., (Whig,) hal been elected Mayor of Philadelphia by over 5,000 majority; also the Whig Coun cil ticket, and members of Assembly. E'r Potatoes throughout the west this year appear to be a failure. They are at Present retailing at one dollar a bushel, at Galena, Illinois. The Vuion Committee of New York. We observe that it small body of per sons calling themselves the Union Com nate,. of New York have nominated a tick et for the State offices, composed of per sons selected from the Whig and Demo cratic nominees, with Sold reference to their unqualified adherence to the compro mise measures. There are one or two of fices; the candidates for which, of both parties, are friends of the adjustment.— For such, the committee has made no nomi nation, not caring which is successful, as both are orthodox on the one vital point. As far as we can understand, the entire movement is probably got up iu, and for the benefit of, the city of Now York, the contest being, whether she or Philadel phia shall furnish the South with the most coarse cotton goods, cow-hide shoes, stogy boots and wool-hats. Since Phila delphia has become Biglerized, New York feels the necessity of doing some wonder• ful thing to attract the southern merchants to her counters. Both those cities have come to the grave conclusion that a south ern merchant will give two prices to a supporter of the fugitive Slave law, fen: nn article, rather than take it tont an uppo nent for nothh g , and me. is endeavoring to Tatbid the other for that custom, which lappears not to be governed by the ordina ry laws of trade. It is well known that etch of the great parties in New York is composed of two formidable factions, that they har monized at their lo.te conventions and thdt the democratic and whig parties each pre sented tickets for the support of the peo l!le of the State of New York composed of persons belonging to both factions of the respective parties. This compromise of party differences, it appears, is not per mitted to remain undisturbed ; but the Union Committee presents a ticket pledged solely to adherence to the fugitive slave law, (for this is the only one of the com promise measures open to discussion) and attempts to over-ride the domestic interests of the State, to secure the salvation of that Union which all its enemies could not destroy. They deserve credit for their adroitness in assuming the great and ven erated name of Union, in place of the cognomen they should really wear, but the whole movement will more than likely prove a locofoco scheme to defeat the en largement of the Erie canal. They have succeeded in getting a long letter from Henry Clay on their favorite topic, which will probably be very extensively ussi to procure the defeat of the New York Whigs. If the object of the committee was to bind up the wounds of a lacerated and bleeding constitution, or to enforce the provisions ,of an assailed fugitive slave law, their ef forts would be commendable; but when it is attempted to overshadow a great ques tion of State policy by some impending cloud, which is mere gloomy than danger ous and contains more vapor than light ning, the subterfuge becomes contempti ble. We would like to see a stop put to the agitation of this subject over the coun try, but if the whig party both in New York and Pennsylvania is to be defeated or crippledd by whigs holding prominent nositioti and raising false alarms, we had better cast about and sne who and where our real friends are, and ariV: l 6 o accord iffgly. We love peace, but it may be ne cessary to prepare for war. ENULAND AND CUBA.-A special cor rosponden of the North dlmerican says that a communication was recently ad dressed to our Government by Lord Pal merston, respecting expeditions fitted out in the United States against Cuba in vie lation of the spirit of treaty stipulations; but it was answered in a dignified and tru ly American paper by Mr. Crittenden, Ac ting Secretary of State, who intimated, in very plain terms, that England had better occupy herself with her own affairs—mean-- ing, in downright vernacular, mind her own business. This reply will probably pre vent all European interference, or, at all events, will warn those Powers what may be expected should they obtrude in our concerns. The document does Mr. Crit tenden and the ilJtuiniitration great credit. Distressing Brent. A fire broke out in the Orphan Assylum at Cincinnati, on the 15th inst., and the whole building was consumed. The fire was communicated from the stove-pipe, and burnt. with groat rapidity. There was in the building at the time of the fire one hundred and six boys. A lame number jumped from the windows, and one hundred were saved. Three bodies have been found, and three are still missing. Sever al of those who were saved were severely burned and otherwise injured, Ohio Election. The Loeofocos have succeeded in elect- ing their State ticket in Ohio. Their can- • didate for GOvernor, (Wood) who is a Free Seiler, and denounces the Fugitive Slave Law, has about 20,000 majority over Mr. Vinton, "National Whig." This was ao complished by the Freq Soil Whigs of the II Western Reserve going for Wood. How about the "Union" now? In Pennsylva nia, before the election, we were told by the opposition that the salvation of the Union rested upon the defeat of Johnston, because of his tendency to F i ree Soilism.— But Locofocoism readily adapts itself to circumstances. It can be for free-soil in Ohio, and against free-soil in Pennsylva nia. It don't hurt it to denounce the Wil mot Proviso anti yet elect the author of that proviso a President Judge.

But what is this compared to Neptune's distance? Had Adam and Eve started, by our railway, at the creation, to go from .Neptune to the Sun, at the rate of fifty miles an hour, they would not have got there yet; for Neptune is more than six thousand years from the centre of our system. The Crystal Palace Closed. The iVorld's Fair is over. The Crys tal Palace closed to the public on the 11th, and was closed entirely on the 15th 3 the intermediate four days having been allow ed to the juries to report. When we look on the doubtful beginnings of this exhibi tion, and consider its brilliant close, we cannot refrain our mood of praise from those who projected it and those who car ried it into execution. Farewell to the World's* Fair! It was a grand idea, and nobly carried out. lt will be, perhaps, the great event, to which historians will refer, as characterising Vic toria's reign. Vast is the good it has al ready done, and its influence will continue yet. The civilized world beholds, with a sigh of regret, the final closing of the Ex change of Nations. FUN AHEAD.—There is going to be some fun between the friends of the two'. 'favorite sons' of Pennsylvania—Buchanan and Dallas. Buchanan is in favor of placing the slave line at 36 30, clear across the continent.—Dallas has written a let ter to a friend in Texas on the Slavery question in which he goes for amending the constitution so as to satisfy his 'South ern brethren' and place them beyond the reach of aggression from the free States. This, with his casting vote, should en sure Dallas the• nomination. A SIGNIFICANT FACT.—The opposing cliques of the Locofoco party in Lancaster county could not agree in nominating can didates for Senators. The result was that the Buchanan wing supported Mr. Bough ter, the candidate nominated by their friends in Lebanon, and the Frazier wing supported Mr. Echternacht, the candidate nminLL 4 ..4 by the Frazier Convention.— The result of tno . r 0 1 1.3 F^?!ternadt• 4091, Boughter 2263, which affords pretty Conclusive prod that Mr. Buchanan is in a largo minority of even his own party in Lancaster.

Their candidate for Gover nor, Wood, is a Free Soiler and does not hesitate to denounce the Fugitive Slave law. His- opponent, Mr. Vinton, is a "National" Whig. • But locofocoism readi ly adapts itself to circumstances. It can be for the free-soil in Ohio, and against free-soil in Pennsylvania. It don't hurt it to denounce the Wilmot proviso and yet elect the author of the proviso a Presi dent Judge.—Lancaster Tribune. 13" - If a man expects to meet with any sympathy now s days, he must become a reformed drunkard or a fugitive slave. A decent man might linger out a miserable existence and die of starvation before ho could meet with half the sympathy exhib ited for either. Revolution in Mexico. By the steamer Yacht, at New Orleans, we have later intelligence from Northern Mexico. The operations of the liberating army were still successful. They captur ed one gun and a quantity of other, arms. General Canales; the bovernor of Tatnau rlipas, at the last accounts; was apfroach ing Matamoras; and Gen. Avaloi was go ing out to meet him. Whether they would meet as friends of foes was un known, but it was supposed that Cadales will assume the command of the revolution ist. These movements have given great satisfaction to their American 'partizans, especially the Texan rangers. Intelligence has been received at Ne'w Orleans from Yore Cruz up to the 4th inst. Governor Letcher arrived there on the Ist inst., and proceeded immediately to the Capital. Accounts from the City of Mexico to the 7th inst.; represent the Government to be in' much *fusion.— ' Many ineffectual attempts have been made Ito appoint a new Cabinet. The treasury is at its lowest ebb, and the Government resources nearly annihilated. The news of the revolution in Northern Mexico had not been received. Later advices from Rio Grande had come to hand.—The Sheriff of San Fran cisco, (Mexico,) had arrested two of the negroes of Wild Cat, one of whom is Gof fer John, a leader in the Florida War, but who was freed by treaty stipulations. Wild Cat is much exasperated, and it is ap prehended that the negroes will retaliate. Tile Swan of Africa. A new impulse is about to be given to the musical furor. A new candidate for fame in the world of song has arisen in the West. It is a bird of African extraction, though not exactly a black bird; and she has spread her wings under the euphoni ous title of the "Black Swan." Her real, earthly name is Eliza Greenfield. She is a colored girl, belonging to Buffalo, N.Y., where she is making preparations for her debut. She has surprised and delighted those who have heard her, and is said to possess a voice of groat purity and flexi bility and extraordinary compass —singing notes in alto with brilliancy and sweetness and decendittg to the bass notes with a power and volume which is perfectly as. toniahing. The Buffalo Commercial says she gave a rehearsal a few days ago, and that those who heard her came to the unanimous conclusion that she was next to Jenny Lind, at least, in her vocal powers. She has a great compass of voice—rising and falling from the highest to the lowest tones, with the greatest case and rapidity, with "intonations softly sweet, and anon thrilling and startling." RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE IN POLITICS. Judge Campbell, ono of the Judges of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, and a candidate for election on the Democratic ticket, says the Baltimore Sun, has been defeated, although the rest of the Demo cratic ticket is elected by so large a ma jority. The reason for this defeat is said to be the religious belief of Judge Camp bell. Ho is a Roman Catholic, and enough have voted against him to lave him in the minority. We did not think that such intolerance existed any where in the United States, though there is said to be something of the sort in Now Ifamp.' shire, the people there having refused to adopt the ne.7; constitution, Which removed the old restriction i;;event!ng Catholics from holding office. It is. to I3C that in both cases, some other cause lies at the bottom of the result. [cr . Qtifsr OF SPAIN' WANTS WAR.— The New York gun; on the authority of a private letter from Madrid, states that her august ladyship, the Queen of spain, in reply to a petition from a Cuban, for certain concessions to that illgovcrncd is land, said that she deeply regretted that she was not the mistress of her own de sires or bhe would at once declare war against the United States, come what might. It is well there are some wiser people than herself in the limits of her dominions, or the poor dear little stupid might be aceomodateed to her hearts con tent. It is real charity to deny her gra oious majesty the indulgence of her whim on the occasion. The desire of war, how ever, is said to be universal in Spain by the same writar. [l:r Tint CENTRAL RAILROAD is pro gressing rapidly to completion. The Pitts burg Commercial Journal says that in about two weeks from this time, passengers and baggage oars will be put upon the road for the purpose of running between that city and Wilkinsburgh, and adds that the improvement will be in active use as far as Lockport in December next. Consequences of the Election. It was maintained by the iVhigs of Pennsylvania throughout the late Cam paign, that the success of Col. BIGLER would be regarded all over the Union as a another noble impulse given to the cause of tree Trade," To show the correctness of this position, now that the Locofoco party have succeeded, we quote the fol lowing paragraph from a lengthy article on the subject in Thursday's New York Herald: T.:. return to the Pennsylvania election the result may be considered as decisive against a revision of the tariff at the next session of Congress. Governor Johnston, the defeated Whig candidate, made the tariff a distinct issue before the people, in his various addresses before the election, throughout the State—and he called upon them to declare by their votes whether they were satisfied with the pres ent tariff, or whether they disired more ef ficient protection, particularly on coal, iron and other manufactures of Pentesyl7 vania. Bigler the democratic candidate; on the other hand, was understood to be in favor of the present tariff, and not anx ious for further protection. Whatever, therefore, may be attempted by the ad vocates of a higher tariff at the next ses sion of Congress, the vote of the people of Pennsylvania, as that of the section of the country most interested in a tariff will doubtless be urged as decisive against any revision or further protection. The speculations of the Herald in re gard to the effect of the Pennsylvania and Ohio elections so far as relates to the Presi dency, are also worth copying. It says. 'With regard to the effects of these elec tions get the prospect of the democratic candidates for the Presidency, we should say that the result in Pennsylvania is highly favorable to Mr. Buchanan, whose favorite nominee for Governor is elected by so large a majority,. Should the dem ocrats of the South generally take up Buchanan as their candidate, he would come in to the next national convention under very strong auspices. The cause of Free Trade and its ad vocates is evidently in the ascendant.— But Pennsylvania would have it so, and if her interests arc sacrificed by the opera tion, whose business is it, we should like to know ?—Reading Journal. GERMANY.—The news from Germany is interesting. The Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia promulgate their designs of restoring despotism to its old rights. The Emperor of Austria, with an honest ferocity, has doomed the Constitu tion of March, 1849, to the flames—that Constitution for which people said the Austrians and Hungarians should have been so grateful. He will govern for the future with the help of a Council of Min isters, at the head of whom, from present appearances, is to be placed once more that ancient prop of absolutisM, Prince Metternich—which is to give its opinion whenever he has a mind to ask for it,— Like Louis XIV., he will throw his sword on the council-table, and say : "L'etas, c'- est mai!' This proceeding has greatly agitated the good people of Vienna, who sent him scampering to the Tyrol, along with his uncle Ferdinand, in 1848. The King of Prussia has muzzled the Colore Gazette; has let it know it must no longer meddle with the discussion of public af fairs! In the meantime there is a knot of Thresybuluses in London, who watch the 'thirty' of that German land. They have set about publishing revolutionary pamph lets, and are in communication with the discontented people of the continent.— High Holborn is their pot! sto; and with this fulcrum they try to move the Teutonic world to independence. Dr, Tauseuau is their President. The English Govern ment, though sympathizing a little with re publicanism, or with that of the Italian patriots, who also sit and plot within the sound of cow bells, must tolerate them.— So will the democratic genius of England I _ ; ti e t, L as till an influence in the land, and which is yet destined to put down the tyrannies and abuses that ()Immure and weakeit it just now, PHILADELPHIA CoinEcTonsitti..--It again rumored at Washington that there will shortly be important changes made in the offices at Philadelphia—probably the Collector, Surveyor and other prominent officers. Another account says that thil rumor is a mere fabrication. Most likely. RETIRED.-Sir Henry L. Bulwer has retired from the British mission at Wash ington, and, it is said, is to receive a Euro pean appointment. DIVISION OF CALIFORNIA.—The diviz sion of the State of California continues to be agitated there, and the project gains ground daily. A convention of the friends of the movement has been called. The ostensible object of the division is to se cure a Territorial Government for the Southern . country,and its relief from its share of the pecuniary burdens of the State Government. It is well known, however, that there is a strong party in favor of the movement whose object is the ultimate erection of a new State and the introduc tion of slavery.
