WEDNESDAY MORNING, Sept. ii
Pennsylvania Politics.


AS the election approaches in Pensyl-
vania, the exclusive Republicans of that
state have as usual commenced barba-
rous civil war" in squabling for Office.
Michael Lieb is violently attacked by a
writer under the signature Of Franklin,
in the Democratic Press. Franklin accus-
es Lieb of intriguing with the Federal
lists, in order TO divide the Republican in
terest. We can scarcely blieye that Ileib
was so silly, because. as Franklin himself
asserts, he +" knows in his heart that the
federalists thoroughly despise him." Of
course, they cannot bestow upon him the
smallest conference.-the charges al
lodged against Leib by Franklin (Which
we shall not here repeaD are OF The deep

cracy to the blush for Leib holds seat
in the u. s. Senate, and may enc day
fill the Governors chair in Pennsylvania.
Franklin says that I.eib established and
managed four different self-created Clubs,
viz. The friends Of the people, The Tam
many, The Hornets nest. and the Wing
Club. Truly. he is useful citizen" a
worthy Leader of a worthy host" 1t is
wonderful that he could find time to at
tend TO all these patriotic and praisewor-
thy Institutions, which have been OF such
immense advantage to the country in
general, and to the state Of Pennsylvania
in particular. We are compelled injus-
tice to observe, that we think Franklin
unfairly ro5s Col. Duane of some well
mcrited homer on this occasion, which the
Tammany Society especially will no doubt
duly notice.

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.

The Eclipse Of the Sun OF the 18th OF
this month will be extremely useful for
determining. more correctly than any o.
Their method, the longitude Ofthose places
where accurate observations OF it may be
made. Astronomers and nayigators who
are accustomed TO the common calcutta
tions Of nautical astronomy, are therefore
earnestly requested TO observe. with the
greatest care, the precise moments OF the
beginning and end Of the eclipse /; and in
the Southern States. where the Eclipse

mersion and emcrsicn. These times should
be noted by good clock or watch, fur
nishca with second hand: and the most
delicate part of the operation is to resu-
late this Instrument, and ascertain its rate
Of going. This may be done by several
methods-by equal attitudes OF the sun
taken in the morning AMI evening, when
abe altitude is so great as not to nc mate

near the horizon !; ass. for example. at a

scryations can be very adyantaSeously
made at the universities. by the astrono-
mical quadrants with which most of those

of the fluid. Halfthe angle shown by the
Instrument IS to be corrected for refrac-

From Fredericktown we hear, that ge-
neral Wilkinson has objected to three of the
members of the court martial, viz. colo
nels Burbeck and Freeman and major
Backus and the exceptions were admit
ted by the court. Messrs. StOddart, Swift
and Armistead supply their places, they
having been summoned as supernumerary
members. Colonel Williams excepted to
himself, but the court overruled the ex-
ception.
On Wednesday last Gen. Wilkinson
surrendered his sword, after a few obser-
vations addressed to the Court, which ex-
cited the sympathy of friend and foe. His
old associates in arms displayed much
sensibility on the occasion.
The Court was expected to have been
sworn in on Saturday, Some doubts had
arisen as to the interpretation of that clause
of the articles of war which limits all in
vestigation of offences to the term of two
years from their commission. The gene
raj. we understand, waves the privileges
of this rule.-Edt. Intel.
