StST Until the 17th of this mouth, Clothing can be bought at Lyons' at a mere nominal advance on cost, as he wishes to reduc his stock before starting East. Healy & Warren have laid on our table the last number of Frauk Leslie's Pictorial. It is a routing number, containing, among other illustrations, the parade of the Wide Awakes, at Hartford, Conn. BP&The Journal boys were the recipients yesterday of a huge watermelon from the : establishment of Messrs. Dunbar & Job on, corner of Locust and r"irst streets. These pentlemen are diiing a heury business in the fruit and melon line, and the Journal boys gay they wish them all the success imaginable. .Johnson, the Breckinridge Demo cratic nominee for Governor in Arkansas, is elected by a very larw Majority. fieaJTIt is confidently stated that Frank Blair is elected to Congress in the St. Lnuis District for both the short and long terms 1 j Good hope it is so. JJJe Company B, ot the Wide Awake Battalion, will meet to-night at headquarters ever the Canal Bank, for drill. A fnll attendance is requested. WS" Our neighbors of the Douglas organ are getting badly frightened at the progress made by the Wide Awakes in numbers and power. Well they may Mr. Bell's record upon the Home stead bill is being severely attacked by the Richmond Enquirer. The Southern Opposition are warmly opposed to the Homestead measure Va&" The Enquirer wants to know wh it we thiuk of Heary S. Lane's letter to the free soil committee in 1849. We think that Jo. McDonald's letter was so far ahead i of it that Lane was "no where'' with the abolition vote. The abolitionists all scratched Lane, and voted for Mctoti:dd and elected him. 8Sajy-Ve to-day commence the publicaI tion of a short .speech delivered by Hon. ; William McKel Dtxv, the talented member . of Congress from our Third District, at ludependence Square, Philadelphia, at the ireat ratification meeting ou the 'JOth of May, 1860. Read it; it contains truths iu relation to our principles aud candidate for : the Presidency which may be read w ith profit. Ex-Governor Dunuiuy;, iu his speech at the Douglas ratification meeting on Saturday night last, said if he had 10,000 votes he would give them all for " Old Abe,'"' before be would one tor Breckinridge. We think there are several Democrats who agree with the Governor in this, and, as they feel certain the contest is really between Lincoln and Breckinridge, are unwilling to throw away their votes on Douglas. They are welcome to our ranks, aud we are happy to state there is room for more of the same kind. tS& One of the most gigantic mass uieet- ! ings ever held in the State of Illinois was I convened at a small place situated near the I boundary line of Greene, Jersey, and ; Macoupin counties one day last week. It ' is stated that there were B Oifi wncrnna lir actual count present, and the crowd was estimated at between 20,000 and 30,000. The counties above mentioned gave overwhelming Democratic majorities in 1856 and 1858, and the assembling of so monster a meeting in that locality, is but another evidence of the overwhelming change in public opinion now taking place in the Sucker State. 8GyThe Enquirer, a paper that published aud gloried over the foul and libelous transparency-inscriptions that were carried in the Douglas procession on last Saturday night, reads us a lecture on "decency," lierause we saw lit to apply the appellation of ijiacK ouaras to tnose wno mnrenea m mat procession and approved the sentiments of the transparencies carried on the occasion. We haven't the least hesitation in saying that any man who could be so lost to decency as to get up, march after, and endorse the lying and scurrilous inscriptions on some . .t : f . : : -. . . miainous irau.-pareiic.r, . uw. . a blackguard, whatever may be his deport mem on ordinary occasion light of day, with the eve: in t lie oroail f community upon hi in. We believe tbat there were many persons who marched after the objectionable transparencies thoughtlessly, in a lit of sudden political zeal, who would not be caught in such company and such disreputable busi- I ness again. But any oue who now upholds : the entire proceedings of that evening the libelous and insulting epithets c:ist at their fellow-citizens, which they know to be false aud who would again be guilty of similar conduct, is a blackguard, aud de- ! serves to lie so branded.

Wide Awakes, Company C, Meets To-Night, at Engine House on Locust St., near the Depot, for Drill. By Order. HAM. McNEELY, Sec y. Ex-GovtTRKOK Drsitnre, in his speech on Saturday night, does not seem to have given very good satisfaction to his partizaus. Throughout his whole speech not a word did lie say in condemnation of the Republican party or ita policy, whilst he flagellated Lecomptonism without mercy. His emphatic declaration that he would ten thousand times rather vote for Old Abe Lincoln than Breckinridge and Lane, and the platform they are for, created great sensation amongst the Ex-Governor's political friends. His frank admission that he had occupied extreme free soil ground in 184'J, along with the bulk of his party, was also a "stumper" on the men who are nowhowling "abolition'' at Republicans. Ex-Governor Dunning said that he occupied the position that Congress could rightfully prohibit slavery in the Territories until the Supreme Court decided against him, when he was compelled to acquiesce. His mat ty r-like air when he said he should have to acquiesce until the deeisiou was reversed, even though he might think differently from the Court, showed how the speaker felt k heart on this que.-tiou. W'e verily believe that, it Ex-Governor D. could divest himself of that troublesome pride of opinion which ties him to his old party, and that spirit of man worship which leads him to make an idol of Douglas we say but for all ihi.;, Gov. Dunning would be doubtless a Republican. Stranger things have happened than for him to come out ; vet on our side.

It is a significant fact that the Enquirer ' has had but very little to say regarding ExGovernor D.'s speech, while the other gen- j tlemen who spoke were highly compli- j mented. We hope Mr. Dunning mny be brought i down here again by our Douglas friends. He does first-rate Republican work. The Mat Us. Yesterday we published Mr. Rudd's strictares on our article iu Tuesday's paper concerning i lie mails, which we thiuk merits a J word in reply. We do not desire a con- , troversy with our worthy P. XL, who is an estimable and courteous gentleman. We I did not charge him with violating his oath of office, nor did we intimate anything of I the kind. Wc simply narrated some facts i in regard to the miscarriage of papers. Wc j distinctly stated that could we fasten the ! cause of the trouble upon auy particular j I party, we would not mention the subject in ' ! our paper at all, but take other bteps for ' ! redress. Mr. Rudd acknowledged that his

clerk carelessly omitted .-ending the pack- United States, let them elect their Presia;je of Volksbotcs to Nash's Depot, after his ) dent, and there is the end of it. But all attention had been st,eri.illv eatt1 t,. iL attempts to get the people to en ter iuto un-

, " , ... fact that the papers ought to be mailed that Morning. Whether other difficulties i have been occasioned by similar careless ness in Mr. Rudd's office we do not pretend to say. When papers are misdirected by a ni inline clerk they are generally returned for correction, and the error can bo remedied without the subscribers losing their papers altogether. It is but little political capital we cau make by complaiuing of irregularity in the mail ; so very little that it would hardly pay an investment of much space in our paper. It was only the necessity of justifying ourselve3 in the eyes of our country patrons, i who at ribute all Ihe blame of the non- I arrival of their papers to this office, that ! induced us to speak of the matter as we did. r A Km Convkkt. The Indianapolis Journal says that 'Squire Coulon, w ho recently left the Douglas Democracy to join the true party of freedom and progress the Republican party has commenced speaking to his fellow-citizens in their own language (the German). We have no doubt that he would receive a cordial welcome down here in " the Pocket," and believe his coming would dd much rrnod for the caust or the Piapltu , Mr. Coulon was a well-meaning Democrat, like thousands of others, until he was convinced that that party was unmistakably opposed to the welfare of milions of white men, and devoted to the interests of about 300,000 slaveholders: and when he had become satisfied of Una by irrefragable evidence, he exclaimed, with Hannibal Hamlin when he left the Democratic party under similar circumstances, " I love my couutry more than I love my party !' and joined the young, vigorous, aud frcedou-lov-ing Republicans. His example is being followed by thousands of others. ats.i i iie i.ouisvuie journal, ol v celnesday morning, expresses great confidence of I Combs's election by an overwhelming majority, yet thinks there is a bate post Ability of his detent. Some of the back ' counties have come in rather unfavorably j tor Combs, yet it does not see-m possible for them to overcome bu immense majorities ! of the river tiers of counties. The Courier Breckinridge Democratic! Combs is elected. ives it up that B5&The Breckinridge aud Lane men in Ohio have held a State Convention, and appointed a full electoral ticket. Charley Reemelin, of Cincinnati, is one of the electors at large. Ex-Governor Wood was President of' the Convention.

gg. The fools are not all dead yet. Our telegraphic dispatches iuform ui that the people of St. Johns, New Brunswick, took the horses out of the Prince of Wales's carriage aud hauled the vehicle themselves. So it :uems, that, true to their nature, they made jackasses of themselves. The foolkiller is needed badly in that town. Ve are authorized to announce the name of Johx R. Hugo, of New Harmony, Posey county, as an Independent candidate for Joint Representative to the General Assembly, for the counties of Posey and Vanderburgh. Mr. Hugo is a gentleman of decided ability and great popularity amongst the people. He will make a strong race, and we hope he may be elected. Pole Raising. A Lincoln and Hamlin pole, one hundred and twenty feet high, of beautiful proportions, was raised in front of the cooper shop of Mr. Jamks Wilshire, in Lamnsco, last evening. After the pole was raised there was aome crn.,.1 and on h naiflt ie a! no-ino- after whieh a , . ,' . speecu in vjeiuiau was mane oy air. r.jtii. BiscuoF, and one in Rnglish by Blythe Hynks, Esq. Both speeches were warmly cheered. There were from 1 56 to 20() people present end participating in ihe fun. A Bell man Intliguaut st the Course of tV.ihlugton Hunt. Mr. F. H. Pierpont, a prominent supporter of Bell and Everett, writes from Piedmont, Va., to the Baltimore Patriot, reviewing Gov. Elunt's latp effort at Albany. tie cannot see why Breckinridge is to be preferred to Lincoln, if an election by the people is desired, for the former, if chosen at all, will undoubtedly secure the votes of a minority. Mr. Pierpont says iu conclusion : " If Gov. Hunt is determined to turn the Bell nnd Everett party into a nose of wax to serve the behests of jobbing politicians, to secure the election of particular favorites, let him say sc. The idea was first started that the Bell and Everett men were an aid society to the Democracy. But, after the division at Baltimore, it was evident that the Democracy, instead of one 'aid society,' had formed two for Lincoln. But the Governor seems bound to carry out the first idea, that he will not let the Democracy defeat themselves. Oh, no, they are so national, especially the Yancey wing, that all the Bell men in the North must unite with Douglas to defeat Lincoln there, that Lane may be President. Is not this a bright idea ? Yet it is the legitimate logical consequence of Gov. Huut's proposition. Any man that begins to make propositions publicly for political intrigua shows its impropriety. The only true Democratic mode of making a President is for a man to vote for the electors who represent his scntimeuts, and if a majority of such electors are elected according to the Constitution of the

holv combinations 'o do one thing to pre- ! oaper, which wits the home organ of Dougaootb&. jft , U&MJm been submerged in another; and ested than the second, may happen, ought I the loyalty of the joint concern to Douglas

to meet a prompt repudiation by all the I is quite questionable. It may uot be inspeople of every party, unless politics is a proper to mention, in this connection, that mere game, to be played at as gamblers i the first choice of Mr. Faran, of the late play at cards, to make tnouey. All w ho firm of Faran & McLean ; tor the next Prei-

view politics in this play as they please. lirht are welcome to Hickman nnd Douglas. In his speech at West Chester fhis home) on Friday last, Hon. John Hickman made some very pointed statements concerning i Douglas, aud their former relations with each other. He said : Particular pains hail been taken to say that I had turned traitor to mv former nrofessions, and abandoned Stephen A. Douglas, I have never abandoned any of" my political dot'trincs! nnd I never was a Douglas man. '''T'iI, f.! t0 kn"W i6 1 stand. 1 thus make this public declara- : non ana repeat u t nave never oeen a Douglas man, for I always despised his political principles if he ever had any. I say there is no man iu the Democratic party ! of the borough of West Chester, or in the county of Chester, ,vho has ever heard me say a word of praise for the person of Stephen A. Douglas. I have privately and publicly denounced him : I hav spoken against him consistently and jiersisintly for ten years, for I know him well, having watched his course closely. I have not been deceived. knoir that he is not to be trusted, even when r" have hour eyes upon him. Great applause. I think I have gone as far in doing this as a man could do. having a persona! reg ird for himself. I have said that I would rather vote for Breckinridge lhau for Stephen A. Douglas, for he is infinitely the better man. have never found Douglas true to his own principles, aud I have said so at all times. I have said so to his intimate friends lo his private secretary. I have known him for years to be a political mountebank, a scheming trickster, who recognizes the interests of but cue person in the I'nited States, and tbat one is Stephen A. Douglas himself'. I propose to help a larger interest than that. I have higher interests than the elevation of such a man to the Presidency. A M aon ificent Street. A Xew Orleans i orrsp.ondent of the Charleston Jferrurg j writesjas follows: The improvements on Canal street arc still continuing, aud when finished, it will lie the most magnificent street iu the United States, if uot in the world being eight miles in length, extending from the Mississippi river to Lake Poncbartrain, aud nearly I wo hundred feet wide, with a parterrace promenade iu the ceutreof forty feet in width. At all the grand crossing monuments or fountains are to bet reeled. kS?" I' seems that Douglas has turned his visits North into a mere electioneering tour, which more tbau anything else has offended the conservative masses. It is very bad taste for a candidate for the highest office in the gift of the people, thus publicly to advocate his own claims, and is a species of vulgarity wuicn tne masses win not put up with.

Progress of Liberia. Rev. Dr. John Seys, who, with his wife, has now been a missionary at Monrovia, Liberia, for over one year, bai addressed an interesting letter to Rev. R. R. Gurley, Secretary of the American Colonization Society, dated 12th May, irom whfch we extract as follows : Everything seem3 to be moving on here harmoniously and prosperously. My own health is excellent. Mrs. Seys has had no African fever yet, though it is five months since her arrival, and such is her general health that she is enabled to prosecute daily the duties of her large and i mere-ting school. ' Yu perceive by he papers that the ! late national fair, held at Bassa. was verv successful. In a late personal interview with President Benson, he fully confirmed all that has been published respecting the kind and quantity ot the products exhibited. I Lave been quite recently on a isit to Corysburg. Mrs. Seys accompanied me and was delighted with the place and the people. They are improving there beyond onr most sanguine expectation-. Already they have n population of four hundred and one, and number one hundred and seven dwellings, including the three belonging to the American Colonization Society. Thenare three schools, in which one hundred and eight children are daily taught the ; rudiments of an English education. The ' Methodi3ts and Baptists have good congregations, and two commodious framed churches are going up to take the places of thatched houses of worship in which they have held their services. Two flourishing Sabbath schools are also in operation, numbering ninety-one pupils. Tbey have also two military companies, one literary asso ciation, and one charitable institution. The people seem all industrious and thrifty, and are withal " given to hospitality.' My wife and myself are invited out to breakfast, dine, and sup ; to visit here, there, and everywhere; and everywhere we saw evidences of peace and plenty, content and prosperity. Paktiai. Sai.k of Tiik EiTquiceb Ofvice. We are informed that Washington McLean, of the firm of Farau & McLean, proprietors of the Enquinr newspaper e-!ab-lishment, has sold his interest iu tbat concern G. M. D. Bloss, Willis, Wilmington, and Wiley McLean being purchasers. We do not know whether .Mr. McLean held the controlling interest in the Enquirer. He certainly was the controlling spirit df the concern. He has becu the Douglas element in the paper, and his re ti racy frorn it would appear to be an indication of the hopelessuess of the case of Mr. Doogla. A fatality seems to attend the controlling men of the Douglas papers. Sherman has retired from the Chicago Tir.ies, and that dencv. at the lime of his removal from the ' Post Office, was John C. Breckinridge. Can it be possible that Mr. McLean retires from i the Enquirer office to allow Mr. Faran to convert it into a Breckinridge organ '.' Cin. Com. To Keep Tires ox Wheels. The follow- i ing, if reliable, will prove valuable. A cor- i respondent of the Southern Planter says : " I ironed a wagon some years ago. for my : own use, and before putting on the tires 1 filled the felloes with linseed oil; and the tires have worn out and were never loose. I ironed a buggy for my own use, seven ; years ago, and the tires are now as tight as ; when put on. My method of filling the fel- I loes with oil is as follows: I use a long, .. .... i the oil is brought to a boiling heat, the wheel is placed on a stick, so as to hang in the oil each felloe, one hour for a commonsized felloe. "The timber should be dry, as green tiuiI ber will not take oil. Care should be taken that the oil be not made hotter than a I boiling heat, in order that the timber be not i burnt. Timber filled with oil is not suscepI tible of water, and the timber is much more j durable. I was amused some timr. ago, when 1 told a blacksmith bow to keep tires tight on wheels, by his telling rne it was a profitable business to tighten tires and the wagon maker will say it is profitable to him to make and repair wheels but w hat will the farmer who supports the wheelwright and smith say. The Revolution in the fj. S. Senate.--The changes in the Senate have gone on slowly but surely for five years. The Democratic preponderance has steadily diminished year by year ; ami the Republican side has every year increased its numbers.There are now twenty-six Republicans. Tht recent election in Oregon sec ores the gain of one. The substitution of Gov. Chase for Pugh from Ohio, is another. The Pennsylvania and Indiana Legislatures will pretty certainly be Republican, and this secures a gain of two more in place cf Bigler i and ritcb. Kansas cannot be kept out ! much longer, and when admitted she will add two. The Republicans will then lack but two of a majority, which two they can hardly fail to get in the place of Thompson of New Jersey and Bright of Indiana. The Senate once gained, it will be as difficult for any opponent to wrest it from the : Republicans as it has been for the Ripublicans to wrest it from the Democrats. Albany Evening Journal.

They took music and a cannon, banners, flags, transparencies, aud provisions for two days. Later. Half an hour after the first excursion train to Springfield, which numbered 32 cars, a second train started with 20 cars, making 52 in all, and carrying 3,640 men.

Tiieiik is a party now in existence for almost every variety of voters in the land, and he must be a captious political epicure whose appetite cannot be satisfied. Whether it is because there are so many creeds and combinations, it is certain that no canvass was ever conducted in better temper. The i good humor is, if anything, a little too per- ; vadingly quiet. We would rather see the I fight a little fiercer, to relieve the general dullness. The dance of the candidates is : more like a stately cotillion than otherwise. They move up aud down, cross over, take hands, and follow after each other with a courtesy that, however admirable, is a little constrained. There is but one Hag ou Mar- I ket street, few or no election meetings in tin' .Squares, aud even the brass bands get tired with blowing und hoarse with braying j before the small horus. The voters are so ' unsettled by the number of aspirants for ! their suffrages, and the plentitude of pledges, that they stand aimiied, and instead of noise i and confusion as heretofore, take shelter under an indifference which may or may not be real. It is possible that as cool ireather approaches, the entertainments may : take a change; the cotillion give way to ' the Lancers; the blow polka to the giddy waltz, and the formal fashionable tninuett ! to a regular break-down.

They do not over-work their brain as mncb as industrious professional men do. 5. They take their sleep, commonly during the hours of darkness, and do not try to turn day into night. j. They are not, commonly, so ambitious, and do not wear themselves out so rapidly in the fierce contests of rivalry. 7. Their pleasures are more simple and less exhausting. TUe Sentinel and the New Albany I c. r, the leading Douglas papers in Indi ana, have come out against a compromise of tbu difficulties in the Democratic party. The general belief is tbat it will be rejected by tne Douglas State Central Committee. The little Giant bas given them the cue. lie desires to wreak his vengeance on the Democratic party because we would not take him as our nominee. He wished to bestride the Democratic party like a huge Colossus, and all the great and true men of tie Democratic party " must creep about his legs to find themselves dishonorable graves.'' But his legs are too short and Ins coat-tail too near the ground. Old Dine Guard. , .
