Pennsylcanio.-We are glad to learn
that the efforts ofthe opposition in Pennsyl-
vania, to divide and distract the democratic
party in that state, will be foiled by the pru-
dence of the members of that party. The
subjoined is from the Pennsylvania.
The party holding the reins of power, at
present, in Pennsylvania, view with well
grounded fear the perfect union of democ-
racy which has taken place against them,
and the prompt sacrifice ofpersonal feeling
which has been readily made by all TO Sc
cure the common good, and rescue the state
! from the hands of the common enemy.
As the election approaches, their apprehen-
sions become more painful and overwhelm-
ing, and among other devices to lessen
them, We observe that some Of their organs
are making futile attempts to create anew
those divisions which enabled a minority to
secure momcntary triumph. Knowing
that by our divisions they succeeded once,
they would renew those divisions to succeed
again. II is n hopeless efiort-the more
hopeless from the course of the legislation
of the late sessions. There are now no
heart-burnings in the ranks of democracy.
Concession and compromise have healed
every evil, and wishing the enemy JOY of
the leaden weight of traitors form our ranks
who have been received into their arms, we
march as one body to the political extcrmi-
nation both Of the heserters and Of their
new allles.-The Inquirer and its echoes
will find 1t fruitless to strive to create divis-
lou by the use of fabrications, or by any
other means. The democratic party is firm
ly united, strong in numbers, and animated
by the most enthusiastic spirit. Its success
is sure.

1t is the opinion of some of the most in
huential members of the administration
party, that we, in an editorial article in our
last weeks paper, animadverting on the
course of conduct pursued by Lit. Tracy,
spoke not the feelings and sentiments of the
Democratic party, which we, as the organ
of that party, if we spoke at all, were bound
to do. Whether we did, or did not, we
know rot. We spoke our o,on indiuidual
opinion of the man-an opinion which yet
remains unchanged-in his public and of
fetal capacity. and we had perfect right
so to do. 1t is not to be expected that our
opinions should be at all times and on all sub
jects in exact accordance with the opinions
of the whole democratic party.-Honest diff
ferences ofoplnion, may, and do, arise in re-
ation to the merits and qualifications OF IN
dividuals seeking or holding offices of honor,
or trust, or profit, and when we differ with
othersin this respect, or in any other, we shall
express that opinion, regardless of conse-
quences, when, and where, and how we
please, md without consulting friend or foe. 1t
was for this privilege that the patriots and
sages of the revolution poured out their
blood like falling ruin-drops, and for one
we will never yield it up while life is left
we are neither to be deferred by the soft
and honeyed persuasions of the timid, nor
overawed or siienced by gasconade and
bluster.

DEDICATIoN.-MIll-str street Church, an ed
tice which has the interest of former times
united with the accommodations of what
with us is a later and much superior mode
of building, was dedicated on Wednesday
last. The sermon was bv Rev. Dr. Chan
ming from John Nv, 23 and "a; IN one top
ic of which it was his purpose to show, that
the Father is "the only true God, and
that he alone is to be worshipped as such
In another, he enlarged upon the spiritual
relation between the Father and the human
family as his offspring. And the topics
personal and local, aside from their peculiar
strong impression, were also of general and
the deepest interest, as they illustrated re-
ligious freedom. Indeed, the Church was
understood to be dedicated by him, in point
of mere faith, not only according to the
truth as it now is, but also as it may be
hereafter held in a manner neither servile
to the past, nor oppressive to the future
but liberal and charitable to the people of
all times, and in the spirit, as it truly SEEM
ed of Christian Liberty.
The Dedication Prayer was offered by
Rev. Mr.. Briggs of Boston: The Intro
ductory and Concluding Prayers by Rev.
Messrs. Hall and Farley of Providence
and the Scriptures were read by Rev. Mr..
Briggs of Fall River.
The Choir under the direction of Mr..
VIM. r. Atkinson with the very able assis-
tance which they had on that occasion, ma
be very justly commended for their highly
grateful performance.
In the afternoon the sale of the pews
commenced, and the next day, those which
remained were all either sold or leased, ex-
cepting few in the galleries most of which
it had been previously determined should
be free.
In the evening of Wednesday, there was
Discourse by the Rev. Mr.. Hall of Provi-
dence from Eph. ii, 30, in which he main
tanned that Christ is the chief corner stone
of every Christian Church, and made a
most happy allusion to a stone carefully
preserved in the foundation of the present
building, lin the corner and as near as pos
sible to its former loca,ion,) on which there
is a rude inscription still legible, Fol
Christ and Peace, 1929 (which power
fully illustrated his subject and must have
deeply impressed it upon his hearers: con
cluding upon the topic of Peace, and in &
way that presented it as remedy for the
unhappy strifes which have so long disturb
ed, and which still so unreasurably disturb
too great a portion Of the Christian commu.

MOVEMENTS OF u. s. TROOPS
UPON TEXAS

The Washington Globe Of this morning
says: "Oflicial dispatches from Gen.
Gaines, dated Camp Sabine, June %, 1886
communicate the intelligence that the Mex
ican army at Matamores under Gen. Urea,
had been reinforced to the number of 900
men, and was on the 18th of June, on its
march, and rapidly advancing towards
Gaudaloupc Victoria, and the head quar-
ieis of the Texan army. The motto to
which the Mexican army were sworn, was
" cxtermination to the Sabine, or DEATH
Before receiving this intelligence, Major
Sterling c. Robertson had reported to Gen.
Gaines that two men had been recently xii
led, and another wounded on the Navasota,
in Robertson's colony, about twenty miles
west of Nacogdoches, by the Indians of sew
era! different tribes, (Caddoes, Kitchies, and
others,) who had taken and carried away
several women and children of the families
of the men killed.
Gen. Gaines, considering that these re-
cent acts of hostility on the part of the In
dians were prompted by their having been
advised of the large force approaching Mat
amoras, and by the expectation that the
Texans would he driven off and the coun-
try given up to them, has called upon the
Governors of Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi, and Louisiana, each for a regiment
of mounted gun-men, TO cooperate with
the regular force under his command, in
cludng the four companies of Dragons
from Fort Lcavenworth.
1t was his intention, if he did not in the
interim receive satisfactory assurances that
the Indians upon our borders had no hand
in the late murders on Navasota, to march
to Nocogdoches rs soon as he obtained the
immediate cooperation of the three COM
paDies of dragons and six companies OF
the seventh infantry at Fort Townson.

From III. N. Y. Erenin1 Efar.

-Weaico and Tie United .Sfates--S0me o.
The presses have censured General Gaine.
for calling on the State adjoining his en-
lcampments for volunteer aid TO protect the
frontier against any depredations from the
Mexicans or Indians and they imagine
they see in this movement the foundation
of IA war with Mexico, and then proceed
to calculate aud with good reason the bles-
sings of peace, and point out with accuracy
no doubt, the evils of war.
We must confess our inability to see
things in the same light, and consider the
movement Of Gen. Gaines in every respect,
one Of caution and prudence.
I. The Mexicans have sustained very
'nortifying if not disastrous defeat in Texas
and although they care nothing for that ter
ritory, and have been at all times willing to
sell it 10 the United States for fair equiv
alent, yet they consider the honor of the
nation at stake, and with their usual infia-
ton and mock heroics, are determined to
throw an overwhelming force into Texas,
and by driving out the revolutionists, re-
deem the honor and glory of the nation, and
then take measures TO rid themselves OF a
troublesome piece of land with a border
limit open to all kinds of quarrels and dis
sentions to whoevr will pay the expenses of
IA war. With this view they have collected
already GO00 men.-including some excel
lent cavalry, and calculate, with some
probability, TO Increase the force to 10000
men under the command Of General Urea,
a man Of more skill and address than Santa
Anna. In pitched battle, we should have
l,... L.. 90 Onnn H..
ians would not be sufficient to meet this ar
N.Y. and their hopes Of success would be in
retreating and drawing the Mexican forces
towards our frontier, and keeping in the
woods and by this harrassing mode of war
fare, weaken and dlscomft the enemy.
Should, however, the Texans be defeat
ed, and flushed and enraged foe reach our
border, the desire to punish us, with the Mex
leans n stronger feeling than that of punish
ing the Texans, what would be the situation
of Gaines if he had not sufficient troops to
beat him back The whole country would
censure him with one voice. His position,
therefore, is one of prudence. He acts,
and will act only on the defensive.
1t is not to be disguised that the Mexi-
cans are greatly enraged against the Gov
ernment Of the United States, arising no
doubt from ignorance of our institutions,
and not being aware oft fact that no law
can be passed, which shall prevent emigra-
lion to Texas, and of course, defending
Texas against invasion of any kind. Our
treaties with that power are in form and
substance the same as treaties made with
other powers which are mutually respected,
up to the time when clashing interests, and
border difficulties, require a change of po-
sition.-To talk of dmity while the people
are in arms against her atrocities, is a
mockery Of national feeling, and whatever
may be the result, we cannot stand calm
spectatator and see the " Anglo Saxons" as
they are called, driven out of Texas, and
our borders infested with a mischeyous en-
emy.

Fortunate Escapc.-On saturday morn
ing, n little boy, three years ofage, the son o.
Patrick Sheehan, of Delaney street, was
missed from home by his mother, who ran
about the neighborhood, half distracted, in
search of him, knowing him to be prone to
rambling, and mischief, and fearing that
same serious accident had befalen him.
Arirr making every Inquiry about him, in
vain for upwards Of two hours, and when
the distressed parents of the child had near
ly given up all hopes of again finding him,
it was discovered that the poor fellow had
fallen into the well in the rear of the house,
which fortunately contained but little water
aud being entirely unhurt by the fall, he
had amused himself, on reaching the bot
tom, with wading and spashng about, in
which he was engaged when he was found.
What renders this singular escape from in
jury more strange is, that the well is be-
tween niue and ten feet deep from the sur
face is of unusually small diameter; and
that the little fellow did not receive the slight
est bruise, or manifest any alarm, at his
cribbcd aud pent up situation.
