{From Uic Fhllatielphia Argcu.J

The iVbi Parly and the Presidency. The result in the recent elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania, has fell like a bomb into the Whig camp, and shattered to fragments al! their hopes of the availability of Gen. Scott, identified as he is with the Lancaster platform, and the party that promulgated and supported the doctrines there enunciated. The citizens of these two influential States have declared in the most solemn and emphatic manner, their devotion to the constitutional rights of the oilier members of the confederacy, and their determination to oppose any man or set of men, who venture to stake the perpetuity or harmony of the government on the issue of a trading scheme to catch the vote of such a dangerous and corrupt faction, as the higher law politicians have proven themselves to be. This feeling against the nomination of Gen. Scott, will also be strengthened by the tono of politic?! sentiment that pervades the South, and wnich has begotten the victories in Georgia and Mississippi, and which so materially changed the complexion of the ultra secession feelings in South Carolina. The healthy state of the National Democracy in the North, has shown to the people of the Southern States that it is to them they are to look for a vindication of their rights, and while the Whigs of that section of the Union may not find it within the scope and duty of their political conscience to support the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, stiii they will aid to elect one who is openly committed to the men and doctrines they despise. Vuv

The whole scheme of tho Scott party both in tVts Biate and Ohio, was to identify him with the success, as thoy thon thought of the Governors of these two States, and then by \K» force of these circumstances to compel the party to accept him as their oandidate, and thus rely upon Northern votes entirely to elect him. This was the mad attempt that was made for tho first time in the history of the country of openly drawing the geographical line, and excluding the entire Southern portion of the Nation, from any participation in the choice of the chief executive officer of the Union. It was in view of this wild attack upon the rights of the other seotions of the confederacy that made some of the leading Whig politicians of the South, publicly disclose their want of confidence in the Whig party of the North and their determination not to meet with them in Convention, if their atrocious sentiments were not fully purged from the political text book. This game of Seward and others was a bold one, and based upon the military renown of Gen. Scott would have been a dangerous one, if suffered to take hold upon the public sentiment of the North. But bnlTlea as it was by the cross-fire of the friends of Webster and Fillmore, who saw in it danger to their aspiration—but not to the peace of tho Country, it was exposed in the Whig Convention at Lancaster, and defeat has followed liko a blood-hound upon its track. The people once let into the secret of this infamous attack upon the rights of a different portion of the Union, rallied to their support with a power that was irresitabla.

Thus stands the Whig party now. ami their hopes of a Northern dynasty through the agency of abr oliucnists and Gen. Scott, 'the main body of the lorcos beaten and tlying in confusion before the victorious National Democracy, their only hope is in tho reserve, headed either by Webster or Fillmore. If the former be selected, all his previous free-soil and abolition speeches and tendencies will pass before the people like Banquo's issue, and warn them not to be deceived if the latter, it will be remembered, that before his accidental accession to the Presidential Chair, he had, at all times, aoted and sympathised with the people he now contemns, and was recognized, in his native State, as belonging to the free-soil and abolition wSng of the W hig party. Thus are they caugh^ in the pit they dug for another, and after spending years in rearing this temple of abolition folly ana madness, it has fell upon and crushed them beneath its ruins. In the North they have lost the confidence and support of the popular feeling and, in the South, they are looked upon as a faction that would make u&e of any me'ans to attain an object, or gratify an ambition. They mask their features with th« cry of tariff* and home industry but the defeat of GoY*rnor Johnson, the ohosen gladiator of the motly band in this State, has placed them in a position from which there is no escape. The next Presidency, like all the great interests of the ^ountry, is now in the control of the Democracy wkthe Union, and they will select such a man as will reflect the nation si feeling with fidelity*

We have been permitted, says the St. Louis Republican, to take the following extract from a private letter from I«oadoa to a gentleman in this city:

Some of the tricks of the swell mob at the Crystal Palace have been curious—one thief dressed and looking like a gentleman pretended to find a bug on a lady's dress and begged her to aflow him to kill a noisome insect: and she saw him take it off. She thanked him warmly and off he went.

Fortunately she immediately perceived she had lost a valuable bracelet. She suspected her friend —went to a policeman, and told whtit had passed, He said, are you sure you would know the man? Sfee said she was certain die would. Then go and stand by that door tUl come to you.— She did so—and the policeman soon Joined her. He had by telegraph had every door shut but the one he was at—they had not waited long when the lady said that's the mas. Tho person was taken into custody, searched, and on him was found a small box of bag* and the lady's bracelet. Was not that a clever trick!

Church Goers. .4?^

"Bless youl I've thought of it many a time when i'vo seen a church emptying itself into the street. Look here now, I'll suppose there's a crowd of people—a whole mob of

steps. And at the church door there is 1 don't know how many roods of christian' carriages, with griffins painted on the panneis, and swords, and daggers, and battle axes, that, as well as 1 can remember, Jesus dosen't recommend nowhere and there's the coachman, half asleep, andtringto look religious, and there's footmen following some, and carrying the Holy Bible after their missuses, just as to-morrow they will carry a spaniel—and that's what they call their humility. Well that's a pleasant sight is'nt it?

v\nd

then for them who

are not ashamed to Carry their own big prayerbooks, with the gold leaves twinkling in the sfUn, as if they'd been to church—well, how many have been there iin earaestl How many of them go there with TOO thought whatsoever only that it's Sunday—church going dfcyt And so they put on what they think religion that day, just as I put on a clean shirt, feBless youl sometimes Iv'e stood and watched a crowd, and Iv'e said to myself, well I should like to know how many of you will remember jou're christians till next weekt How many of you go to-morrow morning t6 your offices and counting-houses, and stancl behind your counters, and. all in the way of businessr-all to set amble up the coin—forget you are miserable sinners, while every other thing you do may make yourself more miserable, only you never* feel it, so long as isit makes you more rich And so there's a Sunday conscience like a Sunday coat and folks who'd get on in the world put the coat and the conscience carefully by, and only wear 'em once a week.—

Well, to think how many such folks go to worship —why, then I must say it, Master Capstick, to stand inside of a church and watch a congregation coming out, however you may stare, may be— I oan't help, after my fashion, thinking so—a melancboliy sight indeed.

Bit of SeaadaJ.

Ia our summary of Foreigt news brought by a late steamer, there was a p#«granh describing a pugilistic combat between two elegantly attired women, at Hond Point, Champs Elysees, Paris.— One of the women was badly punished ia the encounter, and from the acconnt it was apparent that Lola Montes, was the sufferer. Her conqueror was the almost equally notorious Laura Bell, of Nepaules ambassador celebrity, who is at present in London, and gives the history of "the above alluded to rencontre with a vast deal ot pride. An insult offered by Lola to Laura's waiting-wo-man was the amri belli. Laura Bell is said to bo identical with the actress Jane Reynolds, who played in New York it few years ago.

OUR CUNIVEIPS SHOT.

1 THRIUUNS ZKCUDBOT QF OCBAH MF&ft

tt -. sr mviscs ooss, a.

Our noble ship lay at anchor in the Bay of Tangier, a fortified city in the extreme north-west point of Africa. The day had been extremely mild, with a gentle breeze sweeping in from the northward and westward, but towards the close of the afternoon the sea breeze died away, and one of those sultry, oven-like atmospheric breathings came up from the great sun-burnt Sahara. Half an hour before sundown the captain gave the cheering order for the boatswain to "call all hands to go in a swimming", and in less than five minutes the forms of our hardy tars were seen leaping from the gangways, the ports, the nettings, the bowsprits, and some of the more venturesome to$k.th$ir plunge from tbe arms of the "lower yards. 4* '#1

One of tho studding-sails had been lowered into the water, with its corners suspended from the main yard-arm and the swinging boom, and into this most of the smiwwers made their .way. Among those who seemed to be enjoying, the sport most highly were two of the boys. 'Hp! Wailaco and Fred Fairbanks, the latter of whom was the son of our old gunner, end in a laughing mood they started out from the studding-sail on a race. There was a loud ringing shout of joy upon their lips as they put off, and they darted through the water like fishes. The surface of the sea was as smooth as glass, though its bosom rose in long hefivy swells that set in from the broad Atlantic. "N."

The ship was moored with a long sweep upon both cables, and the buoy of the starboard anchor was far away on the starboard quarter, where it rose and fell wi?h the lazy swells like a drunken man. Towards this buoy the two-lads made their way, Fred Fairbanks taking the lead but when they were within nbout a dozen fathoms of tho buoy, Timshot ahead and promised to win -.he*race. The old gunner had watched the progress of his little son with a vast degree of pride, and when he saw him dropping behiud, he leaped upon the poop and was just upon the point of urging'him on by a shout, when a cry reached his ears that made him start as though he had been struck by a cannon ball.

A a I a a came from the captain of the forecastle, and at the sound of these terrible words, the men who were in Jbe watpr,. leaped and plunged towards the ship.

Right ahead, at distance of three or four cable's length, a sharp wake was seen in the water where the back fin of the monster was visiblo. Ilis course was for the boys For a moment the poor gunner stood still like one bereft of sense, but on the next he shouted at ihe top of his voice for his boy to turn, but the little fellow heard hiin not—stoutly the two swimmers strove for the goal, all unconscious of the bloody d£ath spiff! that hovered so near them.* Their rnerry laugh still rang out over the waters, -and at lettgth they both touched the buoy together.

Oh, what drops of agony started from the brow of our gunner! A boat hatPput 6fl\ but 'Fairbanks! know th*t it eould riot reacKnis bhilcl ih St3d!?tfn, for the shark was too hear its intended victims and every moment he expected to see the monster sink from sight—then he hope woqld be gone., At this moment a cry readied the ship that went through every heart like a stream of scorching fire—the boys had discovered t^cir enemy!

That cry started old Fairbanks to his senses, and quicker than thought he sprang to the quarter deck. The guns were loaded arid shotted fore and aft, and none knew their temper better than he. With a steady hand made strong hy a sudden hope, the old gunner seized a priming vPTfo and prick'd the cartridge of one of ihe quarter guns then he took from his pocket a percussion wafer and set it in its place, and set back the hammer of the patent lock. With a giant strength the old man swayed the breech of the heavy gun to its bearing, and then seizing ihe string of the lock, he stood back and watched for the next swell that should bring the shark within range. He had aimed the piece some distance ahead of his mark, but yet a single moment would settle his hopes or his fears.,

Every breath was hushed, and every heart in that old ship was painfully still. The boat was yet some distance from the boys, while the horrible sea monster was frightfully near. Suddenly the air was awoke by the roar of tho heavy gun, and as the old man knew that his shot was gone, he sank back upon the combing of the hatch and buried his face in his hands, as if afraid to see the result of his own effort, for if he had failed he knew that his bo^ was lost.

For a moment after the report of thJ gun had died away upon the air, there was a dead silence but as the dense smoke arose from the surface of the water, there was, at first, a low murmur breaking from the lips of the men-—that murmur grew louder and stronger, until it swelled to a joyous, deafening shout. The old gunner aprahg to his feet, and gazed off upon the water and the first thing that met his view was the huge.carcass of the shark, floating with its white belly dp—a mangled lifeless mass.

In a few moments the boat reached the daring swimmers, and half dead with fright they were brought on board. The old man clasped his boy his arms, and then overcome by the powerful excitement, he leaned back upon agud for support.

I have seen men in all the phases of excitement and suspense but never have seen three hundred human beings more overcome by thrilling emotion, than on that startling moment when first we kn*sw the effect of our gunner's shot. "3

A curious case of fraud has just transpired at Berlin. A tailor having insured bis life for £90 and £100 respectively, in offices at London and Copenhagen, got up a fictitious burial, and after having witnessed in disguise bis osa interment, took flight leaving bis wife to claim the amount of the policies and then to follow him. This sbe effected by means of a certificate of death furnished by some medical man for a bribe of £15 coupled with the register of the funeral but after a is^ise of four years the affair (has come lo light. The coffin has been found! containing nothing but rubbish. and the culprit Has been arrested by the agency of the electric telegraph, before receiving the news of the discovery.

The fallowing article, oopied from the Louisville Register was "written by a gentleman,'' says the paper,K of high respectability," who had an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the facts related his communications: ws.

Who was Blannerhasset! and what has become of him? Haviug lately seen in tha New York and Philadelphia papers, several fictitious notices of this celebrated personage, is the apologj which the writer of this article offers for giving what he believes to be the true history of this man's career, and final exit from the troubles of this world— which will be much easier to do than highly colored picture of things which never existed except in the f«ncy of some novel reader. The authority for the facts herein dbclosed by the writer is believed te be authentic, and of the highest character. In the first place, who was Blannerhasset In answer to this question, our information is, that it was an assumed name by an individual whose true name was Lewis Carr, who was born in Ireland, as has always been stated. His family were highly respectable, and an elder brother filled the station of secretary to tho Governor of Calcutta, in the East Indies, to which place young Lewis went as an ensign in the engineer department, where he remained about two years, in which time he was

While employed in this business, he frequently visited Mexico, and became acquainted with many of the leading men who were preparing the way for a revolution, which Carr foresaw must break out in a short time, and being a bold, unprincipled foreigner, he was perpetually engaged in difficulties of one kind or another, until, shortly before he came to the United States, an intrigue with the wife of one of the wealthy citizens of Kingston made that place too hot for him, and he sold out his property ond came to the United States. He landed at New Orleans, and went thence to Louisville Kentucky, where, or in the section, he purchased some property, and finally located himself on tho celebrated island in tho Ohio jiver, near Marietta.— This move took place alnut the year 1803,or 1804. When he reached New Orleans he assumed the name of Blannerhasset. The beautiful and accomplished lady who accompanied and lived with him was not hU wife

The movements of Col. Burr and BlannerTiasset in the United States, during the year 1805 and 6, aro already known, and of coursc need not.be de^ tailed in this statement.

After their projected invasion of Mexico had failed, and Blannerhasset had broken up at thin island, he returned to New Orleans, where he left the lady who had been his companion, and he embarked for the island of New Providence, one of Bahamas in the West Indies, and settled at Nassua, its capital, and recommenced the practice of law. In a short tim he obtained a lucrative practice, and married a lady of ono of the most re. speCtable families of that place, and was soon after disturbed by a visit from his Blannerhasset Island

companion, who gave him much trouble before"lie

could get her to retire in peace, which she did and

now believed to bfi a* resident of"?^ Southern

States. When settled in Nassua, he resumed his true name of Lewis Carr. and soon acquired a handsome living but his restless spirit and intriguing disposition kept him constantly involved in difficulties, and bis treatment of his wife was cruel in the extreme yet, by taking sides with the government, he was elected to the assembly of the Bahamas, and was chosen its speaker about 1829. This waa his last elevatian to notice by his treatment of his wife and his continual debaucheries and seductions—as no money whioh he oould command ever stopped his progress—during the year 1831 and 2 he became so embarrassed that he was obliged to leave the island, and once more r«ufrned to Kingston Jamaica, from which place, in 1833, he once more came to the United States, ar,d landed at Philadelphia under his true name, Lewis Carr, where it is believed that he for tbe last time visited Col, Burr, and soon after was taken sick and died in obscurity in Philadelphia.
