10 ERRORS OF THE PEEss.--Amusing blunders
often occur by the transpositon oftype In the
proceedings ofa meeting in favor of Commodore
Stewart, published in the Philadelphia Sentinel
il is resolved that the gallant Commodore "can
unite all the elements ofthe Democratic party"
The word unite was, of course, intended, and is
just its opposite in meaning. Had the blunder
occurred in connexion with the name of Mr., Van
Buren, it would not have been at all inappropri-
ate.
The Philadelphia Sun, in notice of the death
Of Gen. Morgan Lewis, makes the writer say,
"that he attached himself to company of Penn.
sylvania rihemen that marched through New
York 10 Boston, after the cattle of Bunker Hill"
az THE Tax BILL.-The Senate have amen
ded the tax bill passed by the House, by reducin
the tax from three mills 10 tlOo mills on the dollar by
a vo'e of 10 to l3. II is probable that no tax bill
will pass. If the public works are TO be sold, the
! tar bill had better be postponed.

IMPORTANT EXPERIMENT IN MEsMERisM.

IMPORTANT EXPERIMENT IN MEsMERIsM
We are informed that on Saturday last, DR..
Wilkinson, No. l65 North Fourth street, ex-
tracted in rapid succession thirteen teeth, from
the mouth of a lady, while in the Mesmerlc
state, with slight Inconvenience, either to the
patient or the operator. The amount of pain
endured by the lady may be judged from the
fact, that after the Gig hth tooth had been extrac
ted, OH being asked by the magnetizer how ma
ny had been drawn, she replied, three thai
after losing the tenth, the organ ofmirihf fulness
was excited, and that, during the manifestation
[ the question being put to her, "What is th'
most ridiculous thing in the world !" She an
swered, "Tooth-drawlng !" The magnetic
was Professor Shaw.-PhH. Ledger.

edge herself locofoco. Here is what on
says

10 V. b. PALMER, Esq, has established
Country Newspaper Advertising Agency in New
York, similar 10 the one he has in Philadelphia
Mr., Palmer originated the plan, and first establish
ed his agency in Philadelphia about three years
since. The business, though not yet very pro-
itable TO himself, he says has rapidly increased,
and is already widely extended Mr Palmer,
who has himself been roller boy, printer and
editor, is practical business man, obigiug, at
tentive and correct in the discharge of his duties
The plan he originated, is an excellent one, and
enables merchants TO advertise with but little ex-
pense, and where they can be certain that their
advertisements vii! meet the eye of those for
whom they are intended. Country merchants
seldom, fever, look into the city papers for ad.
vertisements, and if Philadelphia dealers expect
10 draw their attention il only be done through
the medium of their own country papers, where
the advertisements are few, and always strike tn,
attention We wish Mr. Palmer all the success
he justly deserves, for thus opening new
medium OF communication between the city an,
country merchants

UJ TARIFF AM DISTRIBUTION. We are glad
to perceive from numerous indications that these
will be the watch words of the Democratic par
ty at our future elections That the people are
in favor of protective tariff, and the distribu-
! tion of the proceeds of the public lands, is no
| longer doubted, and cannot be denied They are
! not only Just and reasonable measures, but are
truly democratic in principle; such as have been
sanctioned by Gen. Jackson and some of the mos
distinguished democrats ofthe day The wings
in this State having adopted and urged thes,
measures of late years, as peculiarly their own
! an impression has been created among some, tina
they alone were in favor of tariff and dstribu
ton This is error that has arisen in conse
| qucnce of few pretended leaders Of our part
having, for the last few years vainy attempted t,
stife public opinion upon this subject for tn,
purpose of manufacturing political capital fo
the Southern market The attempt has not onl,
recoiled upon their own heads, but has, in man,
instances, enabled our opponents to acquire tn
ascendency in districts strongly democratic. Th
result of the Congressional election in this dis
trict, is fraught with much useful instruction
and should teach politicians how exceedingl
dangerous il is for designing men TO tamper wit
the rights of the people in the vain efior, TO ben
their sovereign will in accordance with thci
own selfish purposes

The WATER SroPPEp after
noon, the water in the lower section the Moy-
amensing Prison suddenly stopped, while to the
other sections it flowed freely. This singular
circumstance excited surprise, and led to i'm
mediate investigation. On taking up the floor
at the poirt of supposed obstruction, an enor-
mouG eel, three feet two inches long, eight in
ches in circumference, and weighing over three
pounds, was discovered, dead, though quite
fresh, its head forced about tour inches within
one of the small pipes. This fish must have
passed more than six miles through the pipes
under ground, even admitting that it took d.
rect route from the water works, and, it is pos
sbe, may have been within its confined limits
for years, and have made the centre circuit d
the city in search of an outlet.

Uy- The TARIFF AND DISTRIBUTION 1t will
be seen by referring to the proceedings of the
Northumberland Democratic Club, which NEE
ting we have been informed was large and enthus-
astic. that resolutions, strongly in favor of the
Tariff and the Distribution of the Proceeds of the
Public Lands, have been adopted This is the
right spirit and it affords no little qualification
to find our democratic friends revlving old and
well established democratic principles, which
have almost been lost sight fduring the prcva-
lence of other cxctiug topics, and for which we
have contended, almost single handed and alone.
for the last four years.

10 The Post Office bill has heen consiie raby
amended Ia the Srna,e. The amendments in regard
to postage establish four rates, viz cents for 80
miles, 5 cents for 100 miles, 10 cents for 800, and
Is cents for all above. The franklng privilege is
fore the meeting of Congress and 80 days after. 1t
has been taken from deputy Pos,maslers altogether
and members of Congress, while they may receive
anything as at present, are allowed during the ses-
highest rates of postage
1t is probable that this bill may pass the Senate.
The Pos,'ofhce Departnen, opposes it, and the
Post.ofice COMMITTEES in the House have reported
a bill recommending entirely different principles.

The Presidency.

AS the time for holding the Baltimore Conven-
ton approaches the opinion is daily gaining
strength that Mr.. Van Buren will not be nomina.
ted by that body. Causes every where in opera
ton, plainly show that he is not the candidate of
the people, and that, if he is put in nomination,
he must expect TO draw his support from those
who are alone interested in his eecton-office
hunters and his old Office holders We are aware
that it is delicate subject TO dwell upon but it is
subject which does not and ought not to enioin
silence. 1t is the duty of every Democratic Press
to speak out plainly. The party should not be
permitted to suffer an overwhelming defeat, a
second time, to crafty the ambition of any man
In this State Mr.. Van Buren, cannot and will not
succeed, and it is useless to disguise the fact
lie has always been unpopular in Pennsylvania
whether Justly So it matters not, while his short
but pithy letter TO the editor of the Richmond
Enquirer on the subject ofthc tariff, has complete
! ly unhinged the doubtful and waverng who will
now cast their votes against him 'Justice tc
Mr. Van Buren," is the cry ofhis peculiar friends
And what injustice has been done him Suppos,
/ they should be found guilty of the same act of
! justice again, how long is Mr. Van Burcm 10 keel
| up his continual claim" on the Presidency
| Or is he to be life candidate Justice, indeed
And is there no justice for the party who sufrrc,
disastrous defeat on his account in 1870 am
! who have sustained him for the last 70 year
through good and through evil report ''Prin
clplcs not men, is an established maxim of tn
true democratic creed and if the Dcmocrac
cannot succeed in carrying out their principle
with Mr.. Van Buren, as their candidate, or if hi
nomination should even render the result doubt
ful, it is their duty to select another on whom a
can and will unite Let the Convention put i
nomination Gen. Cass, and the result can no lor
ger he doubtful. His acknowledged abllite:
his integrity, and the high character he has az
quired as statesman would ensure success
