/ On several occasions, during the 'e-

basis of the political creed OF George W.
\ Dallas Throughout bis whole political
iIfe, he has been openly aud thoroughly
welded to the most ultra JaCoblnIsm. -

of popular Convention, IA which he
boldly asserted that there was nothing
within the reach of despotisIn, which
such a Con, eniion could not 90, that il
had the power to abolish the right OF trial
by Jury, to decree the legality of the
slave trade and even 10 establish slavery
AS d permanen, institution in the soil OF
Pcnnsy ylvanla, will not speedily be for
gotten. Soon after the result of the cleo
liaa was made known a crowd OF Loco
Focos waited upon Mr.. DALLAS at his
residence and he addressed them in IA
speech Of which the following is given as
an extract, in letter from Phlladelp phIa
TO the Providence Herald -

dreds of persons in Rhode Island who
entertain The same political opinions with
Dorr ; why then are not they likewise
imprisoned Simply because they were
not guilty Of his crane, they did not com
init the dst Of which he was convicted,
and for which he was punished.
Mr.. Dallas avows himself Il political
adherent of Dorr, and predicts that this
convicted conspirator will one day be
raised to tho highest cGiee in the gili Of
the people, not for his general fitness,
not for any special qualifications, but
solely on account Of the crime, (not
opinion which has consig gned him to the
penitentiary. Declarations like this
might be alarming, were they not too
common. As it Is, they are well calcu-
lated 10 arrest the serious attention OF
every one, who has the slightest concep-
ton Of the nature of true liberty or the
least preference for law and order, over
anarchy and confusion. DORIS conduct
is justified solely blythe ri gM of ofrerolution.

There are likewise many other demands
ON the funds of the Oider, and many

The Brooklyn Lodge alone, whose pro-
Gee edings have suggested these remarks,
local in its operations and limited as It
necessarily is, in the five years OF It's
existence, has disbursed in charities up
wards Of $4,000.
With these facts before us we cannot
be surprised to find that in the procession
of Tuesday there were many oi our lei
low citizens whose intelligence would
forbid the countenance OF useless num-
meres and idle ceremonials. They have
evidently IA betting sphere for their en-
Iarged benevolence, extensive charities,
and overhowing sympathies With human
necessities. Each Odd Fellows Lodge
has sick committee, with whom it is a
duty, to be religiously observed, not to
allow a single day to elaPse without
visit by one Of its members to the sick
chamber, and in this fact there is pow
erful recommenda of the Order but
as the orphan and the widow are also the
legitimate and peculiar objects Of its
soliciude, its merit is pleaded trumpet
tongued, and in the name Of all that Is

kENNETT's Tower. Just as our pa
per was going to press the beautiful Shot
Tower in the course Of erection in this
city, by Ferdinand Kennett, Esq, fell
with tremendous crash. 1t had been
raised about l6O feet, and was to be rais-
ed 10 fee! higher. 1t was fine circu-
lar column of brick. For some weeks
past il has been cracking, so as to cause
alarm in the neighborhood. But men
who are good Judges of such matters ex-
pressed The opinion that there was no
danger Of its falling. 1t was recently
examined by very iliul engineers and
architects, who believed that the cracks
were superficial and would not endanger
the Tower. Nj. l.. Clark, Esq, who is d
very skiliul and scientific architect, gave
IA written opinion as 10 the safety of the
building. But, Notwithstanding all this
it fell, and now lies huge mass of crash
ed and broken brick. 1t crushed in two
frame tenements, in one of which sever
al people were congregaied, but none Of
them were hurt The other tenement
had been occupied by neg rocs, who on
Yesterday took tie alarm aud removed.
1t is Supposed by some that some per-
sons are buried under this pile OF ruins,
but the better opinion is that no person
has been h.'t. 1t is truly wonderful that
such vast column should fall without
loss of life. The loss to the builders will
be very considerable. It's erection we
learn, had alrco ody cost near $40, GOO

TIE Polk MEN "a correspondent says

what political card may next be played
1t must be obvious TO every refeciing
man. that in the Loco convention at Bal
timore, Mr. Van Buren was thrown over
board by the management Of the Polk
and Texas party at the South, and that
New-fork was grossly cheated. Now
suppose thai Nrw York in her turn casts
her electoral vote for Mr.. Van Buren,.
Mr. Polk could not be elected and
some of the Nolhern and Middle states
may do so also This would bring the
election into the House OF Representa-
tives. The Wings in ,ha, event would
have to choose between Van Buren, and
Polk, which should be the next Presi-

not they would vote for Mr. Van Buren
rather than for Polk and Texas, lime on
