This.immaculate party has again illustrated it* boasted purity by its choice of George Landon , the preacher politician of tonnage tax celebrity,. as its representative in the Senate of Pennsylvania. Probably Dot a single voter who contributed to this re6ult doubQrd &r one moment that Landon's sud den conversion to the side of the tonnage tax repeal was accomplished by force of the seven thousand reasons that the Vice Pres idents! the Penn'a. Rail R iad Co., was then and there furnishing, out of funds that ac tually belonged to the State, for the enlight enment of such senators and representatives as needed such appliances to enable them to appreciate the great excellence of the uion stroiM swindle. Less than seven thousand reasons were not enough to convince a Sena tor whose opposition to the measure had been so strenuous, and whose denunciations of the whole scheme as a grand fiaud that was being accomplished by the most shame less bribery and corruption, bad been so pub lie aDd so frequent, even up to the very hour of bie sudden conversion, as had been those of the pious senator whose immaculate puri ty batf been again endorsed by the party of ''great moral ideas." TBe'evidence that has been made public of Landdn's connection with that abomina tion is so overwhelming that no intelligent voter acould possibly entertain a rational doubt of H ; and yet there is much evidence, more damning still against tho Judas who i lold'his State for seven thousand pieces of silver, to which comparatively little publicity has been given, on 1 account of motives of delicaey on part of the witnesses. But what a comment upon the honesty and integrity of the party that supported bitri*! a pitfj that arrogates all the purity of motfve, and all the patriotism that it has pleased God to vouchsafe to mankind. This party selects this creature,stained and black ened all over with the reproach and disgrace of his connection wfth this great public swindle, a swindle that himself, declared over and over again was being perpetrated by meahs of wholesale Bribery and corrup tloo.as its representative in the senate, the very scene of the monstrous public outrage thai be there heTpiil to consummate. With the brand still upon his brow, a stain tint is paleot to every eye, be is yet sustained and supported by bis party aud bis church. Bui we deaire to do no injustice to the repub licans in those Districts that cast him off- Especial honor to BiaKi.trim and Northuiore land ; townshfs that refused to recognize the right of.their party to bind them like alavea to the support of a corrupt dema* gogauwhohad already betraved and suld them. In view of the fact ihat in this Sen atonal District, wherein the republican will ia Supreme, no man can be found to represent it except one who vainly seeks to cover up the abominable deformity, and to disguise the putrid 6lench of a rotten reputation un der tho garb of pr estly sanctity, we feel like thanking God that there are some townships in which that party has declined to prostrate itself before the Juggernaut of party despot ism. We feel like awarding ample credit to those republicans wt-o thus refused to trample honor, truth, and self respect in the dust at the btdJing of the ol'gaichy that manipulates and control* their party machinery. They have proven that they are the kind of men to whom the interests of the State may be safely committed. Though they differ with ih* democracy upon many questions of public policy, they have proven their honesty ; and and in the hands ol an honest people, the country and its institutions will be safe, how aver they may differ upon questions of expediency. Had the entire republican party bee-u composed of men like these, the multitudinous evils that hare followed its triumph and attended its disastrous reign would have been avoided, and the country would now be as prosperous and happy, aud the public burdens as light as they were when that party first came into power. 1 DARK DATS FOR ENGJ.AND.— England's period Of trials and tribulations appeals to I* rapidly approaching. The threatened Irish rebellion Has begun to stir np the offi cios of the Government, while the cattle plague has been made the subject of a special player by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and other Church dignitaries have made the scourge the subject of other supplications.— Ad tiuonal cases of cholera have occurred at Southampton, but although kindred com plaints affect a large surrounding di'rict, the pfcst has, so far, been prevented from rxtend ing. * A number of cases of yellow fever have occurred at Swansea. A man who arrived in •*Cuba*ves>el died in the town, and irorn that case ton or twHfe ethers occurred in ihe c-.urae of two week*. With all these troubles and misfortunes threatening, the English paripleare too re to be pitied than envied. b> m m ' ' It ik estimated that the "trial of Werze will cost the pockets of the taxpayers rot Ifaw tbsu t ne. hundred thousand dollars—or Wtiething like five dollars for every drop of blood in his body* One witness alone cost $3,100 ; hut thai is nothing to other expens es, which constitute the "good thing" enjoy ed by the highly favoredooea in authority. II ■ I 111 - - ■ TIIE NATIONAL FINANCES. Secretary AlcCulloch s Opinion of Tliem. ' The Cincinnati Gazette publishes n Speech ' made by Secretary McCulloch tt FIT; Wayne,' lndisra, on Wednesday night v>f la*t week. in which he gives his views on the national finances. He said he was not one of those who seem to repudiate coin as a measure of value, and loTJbkc* sound paper currency the standard ; on the contrary, he belonged to that class of persons who, regaidtngan exclusive mctalic currency as an impractica ble thing among enterprising and comm. rcial pec pie, nevertheless look upon an irredeema ble currency as an evil which circumstances may for a time render necessary, but which is never to be sustained as a policy. By the common consent of nations, gold and silver are the only two measures of value, they are the recessary regulators of trade. lie favored a well secured con vert able pa per currency. No other can to any extent be a proper substituie for coin. It is not expected that there shall be a dollar in coin in reserve for every dollar of paper in circu lation ; this is not necessary. Fr all ordi nary home transactions paper currency is sufficient ;but there are constantly occurring periods when the balances between coun tries, and in the United States between the different sections, must be settled in coin.— These balances are insignificant, in Compari son with the tiansactions out of which they arise, and when a vicious system of credit does not to long postpone settlements,' they are orraoged without disturbing the move ments of coin. Whenever specie is needed for this | urpose, or for any other purpose, the paper currency of the country should be convertible into it , and a circulation not so convertable will not be, and ought not to be tolerated by the people. The present unconvertable currency of the United Slates was a necessity of war ; but now that the war has closed, and the Gov ernment ought not to be a borrowe., the currency should be brought up to a specie standard ; and he saw no way of doing it bnt by w.thdrawing a portion of it from cir culation lie had no faith in a prosperity which was the effect of a depreciated curren cy; uorcouid he see any safe path to tread but that which leads to specie paj'tnents.— The extreme high prices now prevailing indi cats that the business of the country is in an unhealthy condition. We are measuring values by a false standard. We have a cir culating modicin altogether larger thao is needed for legitimate business, and the ex cess is used in specula ton. The United States is to day the best mar ket in the world for foreigners to sell ID.— The consequence is that Europe is selling us more than he buys of us, including our se curities which ought not to go abroad, and there is a debt rullitig up against us that must be settled in part at least in coin. The longer tne inflation continues the more diffi cult it will be for us to get back to specie payments, to which we must return sooner or la!e r . If Congress shall, early in the ap proaching session, authorize the funding of the legal tenders, and the wok l reduction is commenced, and cheerfully and prudentlv cartied on we shall teach ii probably with out injury and etnb.irassrmnt o legal bu-i ness. Il not we shall have a brief period id seductive prosperity, resulting in a wide spread binkruptaney and disaster He spoke of the evil tendency of the present inflation on the public morals, converting the business of ihe country into gambling and seriously diuiin'shing the labor ol the country. We are apparently getting richer when morality languishes and the productive industry of the country is being diminished. He was hopeful that by wiss legislation we will e* cape a financial collapse, and the currency may be brought to the specie standard with out these financial troubles which have in all countries followed protracted and exiensive wars. Down in the Mouth. Notwithstanding the recent election of the Republican Si ate ticket, the knowing Re publicans feel no disposition to be in the least jubilant over the result. The reason is ob vious. As ihey tun the eye over the col umns of figures indicating the vote in the different counties, and c in pa re these with the numbers rolled up by them in these same localities one year ago, they see a ter rible "falling off" in the'r vote. They know, too, i hat as a general thing, their voters were at the polls ; and they know that a very large part of the Democratic voters of the State were not at the election; and while they claim the resul as a victory, they feel that another such victory would almost an nihilate them as a party. In a few counties where local divisions and disaffection in the Democratic-Tanks have greatly reduced our majorities, they affict to rejoice over the re sult. But even these rejoicing* iftre not tree from fear* and tremblings. In one thing they have found themselves disappointed. The soldiers vote which in the array they Could control at will, is no longer in their power. These returned soldi irs, at the late election, did what many of them had not done while in the army—voted as they pleased. The result w:s thu the mass of them voted the Democratic ticket. In Phil adelphia aud Allegheny counties *1 n* their majorities were reduced nearly 9000, aid thia was in a great measure by the vote of the returned soldiers.

Should all the States now without Representatives, whose senators and representatives are yet to be elected, choose Democrats opposed to univer sal snffiage, as it is to be pxpetMed they will do, and should they all be admitted, the Sen ate will then contain forty seven Republicans and twenty-seven Democrats, ard the House of Representn'ives would contain one hundred and fifty* R-publicans to ninety two Dcm-> crats Ledger Black Republican Braves. The other day the 10th U. S (Colored) Heavy Art llery marched up„ Broadway, N. F., numbering over sixteen hundred, with overcoats, knap-ncks, and white gloves, and preceded by a colored band of thirty p'eces. The buddy papers went into ecatacies over the darkies. "No mu p e imposing spectacle has been presented to the citizens since the 8 Idlers began to rtrurn," said one of them. "They inarched with a steadiness and regu larity that dtew the most enthusiastic plaud its from the thousands of spectators that lin ed each side of the street," said another. "Their reception wostke warmest that has been extended to any of our retu>m g BRAVES," wr tea third And so they had it. but ail forgot to say. where the "b'aves" achieved ttietr laurels, or why they received "the warmest receptjoo," &c.— Ex. PARDON INCIDENTS. — Many amusing >nci dei ts might be rec- tded of pardon seekers at the White H-uise. A day or two since Mr Htlliard, of Georgia, fotuier minister to Bel gium, rushed up to the ! resident, seized his hand and "hoped his pardon would not be delayed The Presideht quietly remarked to the ex reverend gentleman that "hope was the reward of the righteous," and vouch safed no other reply. On another occasion a rebel of ennn- notoriety raised quite a laugh by sating, "I thank you, Mr. President, for tnv pardon ; I am now a good Union man,am emphatically one of you, but didn't Stonewall Jackson give us helhtrt the Valley ?"

GOING HOME — The President of the North Carolina Convention, now in session at Kaliegh, on taking the chair, made an ad dress, concluding in these words : '•Fellow c tizens, we are going home. Let painful reflections upon our late separation and pleasant memories of our early union quicken our footsteps toward the old man sion, that we may grasp hard again the band of friendship which stands at the door, and sheltered by the old homestead which was built upon a rock and has weathered the storm, enjoy together the long, bright future which awaits us.
