In the Fifth District, one of the resolutions

two Of the resolutions denounce and abuse Pro-

Now, we do not dispute that these are the real
sentiments of those who promulgate them, though
we deplore the ignorance and prejudice in which
they are founded. But what terms of execration
shall sufficiently express the infamy of the conduct
Of party which, really holding such sentiments, is
still endeavorng to carry our State by broad, post
iice constantly reiterated assertions that they
are the advocates Of Protection as strenaous7g

ing to obtain goods under false preteaces Aud
will not the People deserve to be swindled and
betrayed if they trust to assertions which every
day s history SO plainly refutes and exposes
10 DR.. BUcHANAN's Lecture last evening at
Clinton Hall was attended by larger audience
than heard the one delivered on Monday evening.
He made but little progress in explaining the gene
raj subject, being mainly occupied in pointing ont
defects in Phrenology and other g sciences" He
made some desultory and rather incoherent re-
marks upon the Neuaura or nervous huid--de-
caring that it explained ali the mysteries of hu-
man nature, and stating that by observations upon
it all the actions, material and mental, of man
might be reduced to strict mathematical fornlue.
At the conclusion Of the lecture he made several
experiments, which were regarded as eminently
unsatisfactory by the greater portion of the audi
ence. He insisted in his remarks on the necessity
of disposition favorable to the subject, saving
that what men seek earnestly and with ardent de-
sire, they are very aptto find This maxim, with
out doubt, contoins the secret of much that in the
present day assumes the name of science He
lectures again this evening.

BuRGLARY.-We mentioned yesterday that the
U. S. District Attorneys Office was broken open
IN Saturday night. 1t seems that the object was
TO obtain possession of papers relating to seven
indictments for perjury found against S. L. Frosch,
an importer of this city. The papers were in
charge Of Mr. Barrett, who was informed by Off
Ger Walsh that he (Walsh) had been offered $1,000
to steal them. They were accordingly locked up
in safe. On Thursday night the saie-lock was
tampercd with but not forced and the papers were
removed to another safe. On Saturday night the
Office was entered and sundry papers taken-but
only those relating to civil suits pending against
Frosch. Tho burglars have not been found. but
an offer in writing of $500 to certain person if
he would steal the papers, is in the hands of the
Police, and will, it is thought, lead TO their deiec-
ton.
