We have copied an article from, the Nat.
1nts!lsyenccr, or the subject of the New York
election, merely to erhi5i. The idea. aad feel
aags which prevail there on suci, subjects.
The editor, very naturally for man who has
only the othortuaaies Off formation which the
situation affords him, supposes the division
az NeW-York to be mere matters of difference
arising there, or'out ut the last Of Office and
would perhaps scarcely credit the fact that the
Secretary Of the Treasury has been the prime
mover OF it---as he has been of all the political
divisions in Pennsylvania, from 1909 to this
day"
t, From the National In.elEgencer.
t The Editor of the Aurora is herfcetly
right. We cannot credit the fact that the
Secretary OF the Treasury had any connection
with the late election in N. York. Sufficient
" occupied with the laborious duties of his
department. and enjoying the confidence Of
the great body of the American people as well
as Of his colleagues in Office, we can discover
no motive for such an Interference we have
seen no proof of 1t; and therefore, as the Edi-
! tor of the Aurora very correctly conceives,
we cannot credit it. As to the political diyi-
sions in Pennsylvania, if, as the Aurora init
mates Mr.. Gailatin has promoted them in OPP
position to the sentiment Of the majority, it
would seem to have been to very little pur-
I pose, because the imposing majority for ST.
| mon Snyder at the last gubernatorial election,
as we'll as the result of the Congressional cleo
ton last autumn, attest the republican s,abili-
\ C.l>. +1,o
Congress but one federal representative and
he derives his title to a,seat from division of
the republican party in the city of Philadel-
phia, Of which we have not understood that
tie Secretary efths Treasury Was the Prime
moper. If the Secretary has really been the
prime mover of all the political divisions in
Pennsylvania since 1902, It must be allowed
that the people have moved in pretty COM
pact body with him, for i'll no state does the
republican sentiment at present appear to be
| more strongly cemented or more firmly based
than in Pennsylvania"

On Saturday last, abou. ten O'Clock in the

had been hauled Up to be repaired, but which
has in fact been completely rebuilt, the TIM

the company visited the blaeksmith's shops,
and examined the operation of the steam en-
! CINE lately erected, which was then at work (;
after which they partook OF reffeshment OF
sailors fare in spacious workshop, which
| had seen previously cleared out. The music
4 of the marine band gave zsst to the pleasures
| of the meeting and whilst the bcaux and
bellies mingled i'll the sprightly dance, those
who cid not partakc of that amusement spent
| pleasant hour in animated conversation.
The company separated before one o'cieek.

of the District of Columbia, were on the 9th
