On the question of instructing. the U.
e.SenatcPto refs s'd to confirm the 'nomina
tion of Edgar Cowan as Minister to Aus
tria: • .
Mr. Speaker, if my voice will permit, I
t)esi're to say a rew words in support Of this
tesolution.
And first, I do njt undersand the appeal
'mace by the gentleman reOm. Fayette, or
that the offering of this re:?olutien is any
discourtesy to the other side of the House. ,
/ think the majority of thiS, House, repre
witing a majority of the voters of Penn:
ayivanta, have the right, and it is their
'duty, to express their 01 Mien of the man
who have been so notorious as this man,
.Edgar Cowan. The gentlemen in the
ini
.nortty have - an opportunity for their own
NindiCation by putting themselves on rec
ord against any such. resolution.
I hold that it is not only the right, lint
lit is the duty, of the people of this State,
and the Repi' L esentativesin this Hall, to de
tiounce V.olgar Cowan upon every proper
, occasion.: His name haViinY been sent to,
the Senate of the Unitedr States rOr con;
iirmation of his appointment,as MiniSter
Austria, this becomeS a proper- and fiting'
time fui the .Legislature of Penn4lvania
to rebuke him fur his insolent defiance of
the wishes of the people oft this State.. For
iiix years this Mem has stood in .the hails of
fella Senate of the United States, insolently
-defying the people who elected him. The
people of fenniyivania, on every occasion
%%hen they had Opportunity to speak,. re
ested and instructed him* to pursue the
.course lie pledged himself:6 pursue if eke:
03, and yet,zeoustantly; insolently and de . -
liantly, this Man has stoop there scorning
. the appeals of the people who raised him " '
-to his pre:;ent position. 'Why, sir, there
"was no man Who assisted m his election, no
'man who said and felt when he was elected
that it was as is representative 6f freedom,
•ofiustice and of humanity; but was pain-1
Tully convinced, after Edgar Cowan had
[risen in. his place in the United States Sen-;
lite that he had tommittltd an outrage on I
peqe of Pennsylvania I listened to
.him for two weeks:ip the spring of 1862,
and, during that entire time, he never rose
to utter a sentiment that he did not insult
the'people of PennsYlvania. Now, when
the peeple of this State have an opportun
tity Of !dim as he deserves, that it
its not acting courteously to the minority is
•ti strange proposition to nib. I - 4,in not able
no undetstand such logic hnd such reason
_.
I intend to treat every - 2.entleman on this
'floor who differs from me ,hourteouslv, prop
erly and gentlemanly. All intercourse be
tween members upon this floor °Lig)/ t to be.
'upon all occasions, gentleinanly and courte I
, ottS. But when it comes tio speaking of men
Nw , ho have acted as this man Cowan has act-1
ed, we would be recreant to our trust if we
did not speak of them as they deserved,
stud as this resolution speaks.
It is asked, to what has he been a traiJ
tor? He IntS been a traitor to the highest
tprincip'es that a man can pledge himself
supom t.'
. .
He took the place of David Wilmot—
;he took it friiin 'a Legislature that:ac ; Cepted
d'e position of David Wilmot as a true po
sition. .He knew, when he took his seat in
!the National Halls, that every man who
voted for him expected that he would walk
in the footsteps of David ‘Vilrrtot. If, he
'did not intend so to do l , he obtaihed his
seat under false pretenseS. I say le corn-
In : Al:eel 11 greater crime, Morally s..eahing,

My DEAR logs{: FRIENDS IN Porran .--- Near
the close of Septenther, 1866, just as those
long, dismal rants Were giving place to the
gulden sunshine if October, and the trees were
preparing to assuthe that endless variety of tints
so characteristic of oul beautiful Northern for
ests, I left the Oar old hills and valleys, t . e
sparkling streams:, and singing birds Of Potter,
and came to live 'in Philadelphia. I *as & l ily
impreSSed with the Supposed grandeur, and
consequent happines of city life ; yet it was
with deolings of sadness that I left the pleasant
rural scenes to enter my new sphere.', My du
ties in tire ollice of an excellent, and jUstly cel
ebrated physiciith—were not arduous, and in
my leisure hours I began to think of my friends
far away, and judging then' by myself, thought
perhaps they would like to hear sotnetlung
about the 1-arions interesting placse *0 be seen
in this place. Accterdingly I deter Mined to
write a letter, and here it is. If you I please,
we will take a rapid stirvey of the general ar
rangement of the cityi and make a feW visits.
if yon are interested . in this, I will, at sonic
future time, tell you about the Police and Fire-
Departments, G is-Wor cs, &c.
Philadelphia is situ ted between the Dela
ware and Z"clittylkill riTrs, extending South to
within about one mile! of their junction—the
remainder of the disiance being somewhat
swampy—and north several miles, the whole
county being includedlunder city government.
A large portion of the town, and by far the
most - beantifulby . way of shade trees, fine
dwellings.and spacious grounds—lies west of
the Schnylkill.i i
•
The streets running 1 rst, and 'West are named;
thOse north and south . lumbered, commencing
at t.lie Delawarc. Tlredmildings are numbered
imi manner remarkable for convenience, and
werthLour attention, as a few moments study
will Make it Fill plain. Let us suppose our
selves in Market Sir4et- , --the great business
thoroughfare 'connecting the tm,--d riversnear
the Delaware, and gding west. As we pass
Second Street we observe that the first louse,
south side, is numbered 200, after7hird Street,
PO, &e. This is done' without reference to the
number of doois in thd square just pasSed. As
streets generally have two sides, the even nunr
hers are upon tiro south, :and the Odd upon the
north side. Cuing north from Market Street,
and omitting iirtermediatealley, we cross Arch,.
Race, and Ville Strecis successively. As we
pass each, and see the numbers, !1011,-Elfin, and
300, we conclude at mice, that these streets tare
numbered both ways; from Market. By 'this
arra»geme»t,any perstin possessing afair amount,
of intelligence, after 'darning the, names given
above, and Chestnut south of Market, can read
ily find !foist of the 'dimes we are to visit. For
exhinple, 100 Arch4all there, when you are
in town—is the tenth !floor above ) 1. e. west of
Tenth Street, and south side.
With your permissimi We will first go to the

fleeted with the first reading of the Declaration 1

' linger, thinking of those days of both joy and i
i : sorrow, but our attention is attracted to ',a full

whete we entered. The Father of Oar COuntryi

! So Mild and friendly, yet we have read of him

it is' indeed a product of the loom. : I t was ex

it. :The loom rivaling the Pencil ! I leave you
to imagine how it was done; We will now
obtain tickets, free of charge, from the Presi

this lofty position' we can sec nearly the whole
city. On the east is the Delaware, upon which
may be 'seen various sailing craft, while on the
opposite shore is Camden, N. J. Far to the
north-west is Girard College. It is upon ele
;-ated ground. and as the view from its roof is
far superior to!thiS. we will igo there, pausing
only to notice that the •bell+-whose mouth! is

1 eight feet in diameter—large ornamental capi

excited in the mind of the beholder Who is un
accustomed to greater things, are those, of a l we.
and proud satisfaction that man can accomplish
so much. 4s our ticket admits us only tothe

land. thickly dotted with houses, and sus illibkly
interspersed with grc4m fields, and; pleasant
groves. Far beyond what has been mentioned, 1
meeting the sky in the hazy distance, and fOrM
ing, as it were, a frame Mr. our pieture,isthat
appears to be aline of low, blue hills, unbl- iken
' throughout, the entire circle. I suppose this is
really but the general face of the countri, too ,
far distant to be distinctly seen. Thej %\hol . c i '
Scene is calculated to impr‘ss us very strongly; I
with the idea that we have seen considerahle oft
the world ilt once. 1 '
A few squares south is the State Peniltiary.
We will visit the buildings, although ive I will
mit he allowed to see the prisoners. large
square is enclosed by a wall several i feet in
thickness, and fifteen to twenty in height. In
the centre is an octagonal edifice, sides about
eight feet, from seven of which radiale [long!
buildings; while opposite the eighth is pia en-,
trance. These buildings do not extend quite to
the octagon, as they are too wide,, but au e con- 1
fleeted by narrowimils which extend through
out their entire length, :and upon both sides of
which are the cerslittle, narrow rooms, six or
eight feet by fourteen. The second floors are
arranged in a similar Manner, and are occupied
by females. Each building has its own trade,
so that in one are shoemakers., in another,
weavers, && Convicts, upon their arrival, area
allowed to choose their .employment. Looms,!
carpenter's or cabinet maker's tools are placed j
in the cells, and occupy a very large liort ion of i
the spare rooM. Each prisoner has his regular
'
daily task to perform; the amount being merely
sufficient to pay fur board mud clothes. Many
of them do over-work, and are paid fur it-. Even
a felon is not 'deprived of the privilege of emir
i»g money, though many are qeither skillful
nor energetic. 'enough to ("init. No one is known
by a name, Vut by a number. Lie advantages
of this arrangement are too obvious to require
explanation. The cooking is done upon a large
scale=there being nearly six hundred eatersi—
and although the food is Clean and healthy. it
offers no great temptatiOns to dainty epicures.
The four .4dinner pots" are nearly as lerge as
ordinary forty gallon Sugar kettles, and M•e
supported upon four legs, one of which,:fttr
nished with a stop-cock, serves as au outlbt.
Roiling is produced by Steam. delivered at theh,
ht twin, through a pipe from above. The prc
pated food is put into large !vessels, which mire
placed:upon near. This is moved to'the center
and the vessels it ansferred to smaller cars whiCh
run along the halls above mentioned.. At each
cell a wooden door is opened, revealing a sec
ond, of iron liars, through on Orient:lOn Which,
the inmates pass their plates for rations. The
prisoners are supplied front the Library with
books, selecting from a catalogue, as they are
wit allowed to leave their cells without a gnard: '
Those who cannot read! and write, are Mtight,
free of charge, if they desire it: Among Other
priviletms enjoyed is thatof listening to preach , -
ing,. Besides one regular pastel., there are Many
volunteers. The speaker stands near the end
of the halt, the cell doorS, (only the Outer Wood
en ones), are opened a ft'* inches, where they
are secured. and all caul hear, but rote may see,
their minister. 1
Our limited space will not allow us to be
more minute in our eNaininhtions, nor to Visit
more than one other place. This shall be Fair-,
Imola Water Works. PaSsing
. 'sonth, itwo
spumes, and west, four, we. arrive at the-ub...,
stantial building 4 in the edge of the Schtt;:lkill..
A dam has been built obliquely acro the
stream, towing the water mho them, whence it
is forced up into the reservoir nu Fairmount
proper. This little bill covers but a;feW acres.
the other portions having been rehnived ,by
grading streets. The water m the reservMrls,
f think, 75 feet 'higher than the river. The
power required to force it up, is eitormou and
isluraished by the atmosphere, acting as i i i the
hydraulic rate, or fine engine. The pumin
done by 'stGatn, and by several, large b
wheels. From the reservoir the water
through large iron pipes to all parts of the
a branch isuulying each house. At int
of thirty to fifty rods are iron hydrants,
,which lire-engines obtain the principal:.
needful tOr extin,, , Mishing fires.
Thus; 'rapidly have we noticed', a few
many important and interesting places. I
this flying visit has Created a desire. for a !
