The Courier and Enquirer says "it was the largest and most enthusiastic meeting we ever witnessed. It was a triumphant I ' "triming demonstration of the admirable spirit which will animate the Whigs in the contest now opening upon them. Not a doubt seemed to be entertained that victory would perch upon the standard of the Whigs. Confidence, resolution and sincere devotion to Whin nr;..r;nv everywhere prevailed. Factions in the party, f. i i'i, and coalition with factions ont of it, were scouted and denounced.

The New York Tribune Intimates that there are Whigs who will vote for it. Are they like the Whig editor of the Tribune, who feared so strongly and deeply that Gen. Taylor and his friends would not abide by the decision of the National Whig Convention, and who now does not know that he will be able to stand by the decision himself! If they are of such a complex ion, the quicker they join the Locofocos the bet n the Locolocos the better. But Whigs are not going to vote the Van Buren ticket. That link. i v.. V,v ;

A letter from Washington says: "Mr. Corwin has returned from the West,in good health and spirits. He is confident of the success of our ticket, and Is sanguine that Taylor and Fillmore will carry Ohio. He supports our ticket warmly." In connection with this it may not be improper for us to add, for the gratification of Corwin whigs who do or do not support the nominee, that Mr. Corwin has always been decidedly fa vorable to the nomination of Gen. Taylor; because to quote his own words he had satisfactory reasons for believing that "Gen. Taylor was opposed to the annexation of Texas. Is opposed to any further extension of onr territory at present and probably for all Ume to come. "That although a slaveholder he considers slavery an evil and doe not deem it right to extend or increase it. "That he always deemed the Mexican war impolitic and without justification.

On Tuesday the 4th of July, 1848, the Sabbath Schools from Blooming Grove, McKendree Church, Potts', near Laurel, and the one near Mr. Jonathan Smith's, met together with quite a large number of citizens, in the grove adjoining Mr. Jonathan Smith's, between Laurel and Blooming Grove, to celebrate the anniversary of American Independence. The Scholars and Teachers, with the other friends of the schools, first convened at the school house west of Mr. Smith's, and with anpropriate banners and vocal music, marched to . Neptune meeting house, where, about 11 o'- , clock, th. the exercises of the day commenced by prayer from the Rev. Mr. Day afterwards vocal music by the schools, when an address was delivered by Master Smith then the reading of the Declaration by Mr. Joseph King. Then the audience were entertained with declamations of an appropriate character by a number of boys and misses, all of whose names are not remembered Riley, Coleman and Miller; three or four Miss Smiths, and others. Addresses were also delivered by Mr. Joseph King, Mr. Hubbard and Geo. Holland. The procession then marched to the table in the grove, and partook of a good and substantial free dinner prepared for the occasion by the neighbors. The day passed off most delightfully. The scholars acquitted themselves very creditably, and presented quite a gratifying evidence in fa- ; vor of the good influence of Sahhath &.km. J Such celebrations of the 4lh of July cannot but . oe salutary. Mr. Jonathan Smith together with all the families of the neighborhood, deserves great credit for their exertions on the occasion.

A person standing near by ran to the shop, and the smith hurried off to repair damages. Whilst thus engaged, the electricity came along, and so affected his nerves as to prevent him from releasing his hold npon the wire. Seeiug the difficul ty the smith was in, and anxious to release him fearingalso lo take hold of him, his friend seized the wire with a pair of torgs and found himstli' also fastened to his position in company with his friend.
