In the proceedings OF the celebration OF the
tn Of July, at Wlliamsport, at which Mr.
Packer, o. Watson and others Of that caste
figured prominently, published in the Gazette
the following toast appears, offered by Z.
Edred the present editor of that paper
"By c. d. Eldred,--Hcn,y A. Muhlenberg
The Trojan Horse introduced into the De-
mocratic party of Pennsylvania. If admitted
into the Capitol, his minions will sack the city"
Here it may not be amiss to remind the reader
ssat this same c. D. Eldred in perfect keeping
with his former prictices violated his instruc.
sions, and, instead Of supporting our present
popular executive, as delegate he was instruct
I'D to do, cast his vote for this same "Trcjan
Horsst' Another toast appeared in the same
proceedings, by John Z. Cook, the co-partner
of Mr.. Packer in which the Muhlenberg party
is denounced as a "band of disorganisers.
The abuse is continued with undated violence,
and. in the Gazette of July 29th, Mr.. Mullen
barg is denominated the "Prince Of dodgers"
and "the candidate of Ignorance, Bigotry and
superstition In the Gazette of the 9th Sep
tnmber, in which Mr.. Packers nomination IL
fret announced as candidate for Senator, an
rpcalled for, inexcusable and violent attack,
destitute of truth, is made upon Mr.. Mullen
borg aud his friends. From this period until
the day of the election, no balm was offered to
heal the wounds of the party, and Mr.. Packer,
rhrough the columns of his paper, continued TO
pour out abuse in torrents upon the heads of the
friends of Mr.. Muhlenberg, exciting them to
such degree that nothing could induce many
Of them to swallow their resentment-against
him in partcuar-and cast their votes for one
whom they considered their bitteresl political
caemy.
The election came on at length, and the fol.
lowing is the classified result in the "l.ower

WHAT MISSIONARIES HAVE roSE.-The Rev.
Dr.. Arnold, a, public meeting in Boston, re-
Gently, exhibited the trumphs of benevolence in
the effects which have followed the Missionary
enterprise 10 the Sandwich Islands. He remark.
ed that
"Twenty-fve years ago, the Sandwich Island
ers were found by our missionaries in the lowest
state of savage degradation, almost entirely des-
titute of dress, as well as OF houses. Now We
ry large portion Of them enjoy the usual comforts
of civilized life. They then had no conception
of the expression ofthought by written language;
but since, their language has been reduced to
writing by the missionares-one hundred and
fifty millions of printed pages have not been suf
icent to meet the demands of the native nhabi
tants for reading, Upwards of thirty thousand
have been admitted to the communion Of the dif
ferent evangelical churches, who have continu
ed TO adoln their Professionalism one.thrd o
the entire population. Formerly they were ru
led by despots now they have well adjusted
code of laws, the regular administration of jus
tcc, and all the common blessings of freedom
and civilization "

Post.Offire Bill Passed.

Since the above was in type, we have learned
that the bill passed the House on Tuesday, with
an amendment that all letters over 300 miles be
charged 10 cts, instead of the uniform rate Of
cts, and that it shall not go into operation un-
Ill the LIST of July next These amendments will,
no doubt, be concurred in by the Senate, as the
best that can be done at this late hour.
Our legislature, on Tuesday, passed joint re-
solution in favor of the Postage Bill, which was
decided at Washington on the same day They
have been exceedingly smart. in not being more
than day behind in their Instructions.
We have Just learned that the Postoffce Bill

The reader will please carefully examine the
above returns, and particularly the townships
in the ncighborhood of my residence, and COM
pare the votes with some others, to which
shall take occasion TO refer. twill be seen
that Mr.. Packer was beaten So votes in the
Lower End" where The number Of votes polled
was 1878, while in the "Aiddle," which he re.
CARDS his strong hold, in which only e3l votes
were polled, he was beaten l63 votes ifsome
of Mr.. Packers arithmetcians were here to
make nice calculation of his loss md gain,
it might be made appear that his loss, in bis own
neighborhood, in proportion TO the number OF
votes polled, was more than five hundred per CT
more than in the Lower End where it is al
legged rreachery existed. Compare his vote in
Muncy, where live, with his strength in New
bury, within about two miles of his residence,
and l6 miles from mine In Muncy Borough
he received the same number Of votes as my
friend, Judge Taggart, So, and at Newbury he
was beaten by his opponent 1877 of majority
and yet it is contended that he owes his defeat
TO the treachery Of the Muncy Democrats Al
Jersey Shore. in the Upper End far from me,
Mr.. Packer received but l3I, his opponent l5l
Mr.. Taggart lsS and Mr.. Gamble, Packers
friend, who was running on the ticket with Mr.
Taggart. for Assembly, at that time, 202 votes
Ia the Upper End where Mr.. Muhlenberg re-
ceived but 80 votes, Mr.. Wolf 5l2, Mr.. Packer
received but i53, while Mr.. Gamble got 500
beating Mr.. Packer l33 votes! What com
mentary upon the charge of treason against the
Democracy of Muncy! The fact must be sp
parent to ALL who will do me the justice to ex
anime the above, that Mr.. Packer was better
sustained in Muncy and in the 'Lower End
generally, than he was in the Middle and up
per End.'
Is 1t not evident that the handsome support
given to Mr.. Gamble, and his election, tina
Packers defeat was caused by his unremittin!
personal abuse, before alluded to, aided by lh'
unhappy division on the question Of Governor
owing to which schism Mr.. Gamble, who wa
Wolf man, beat Judge faggur in the 'Uppe

PROBABLE QUANIIIY OF IRoN Required FOR
THE NEw RAILROADS. IN ENGLAND.-lt has been
estimated that out of the numerous railway bills
coming before Parliament this month there
will be forty. five carried, aboot oneffth of
the present applications. Taking these lines at
an average length of forty miles each, there will
be 1900 miles Of railway TO be formed, commenc
ing from the autumn of this year, and extending
over 1916 T; for, though these lines will not be
all completed at that period, the deficiency may
be more than made up by the lines which were
passed during last session, and which are now
being formed.
A yard of railway requires $50 lbs of rails
9s lbs OF cast.iron chairs, and about 20 lbs OF
iron grders-making 4 cwt. per yard or 352
tons per mile In addition TO this, il is pretty
clearly ascertained, that an equal amount Of iron
is required for each mile, in wagons, carriages,
stations, engines and locomotive establishments,
&c.--making 7C0 tons of iron for each mile or
200 900 tons for 500 miles of railways about TO
be constructed in this country, or, as nearly as
possible, the whole make of iron in Great Bri-
tain for one year

20 The Removal BnL.-The long agony is
over The Bill providing for the removal o.: the
seat of Justice from Danvllc TO Bloomsbury has
become law. The bill provides that it shall
be submitted to a vote of the people before II
shall go into operation, and that person claim
ing right to vote must be resident of the
County four months. The citizens OF Danville
feel confident of success, before the people, and
rely upon the justice of their cause, We were
of opinion that there ought 10 be vote OF
at least three fths TO carry the measure; as il is
a bare majority of one will effect a removal.
Gr PosTAGE REFORM We have still some
hope that the Senate Bill may yet be passed In
the House of Representatives, on the 2ith ult.,
the Senate's Bill for the reduction fpostages on
letters, &c, was taken up and the whole days
sitting spent upon it Aresolution, passed before
the adjournment provides that all debate on the
bill shall cease in two hours after it shall be a
gain resumed in Committee of the Whse, the
| adoption of which indicates that there is ma
iority in the House favorable TO the principles o

at Harrisburg on the 22d. Daniel Kendg of
Dauphin, was chosen President. The Conven-

that the Pope of Rome had emissaries, as agents,
in all the Departments at Washington, who COM

they were even known to the people here. The
Reporter of the Phila. Times, which paper the
Natives call the Popes organ, relates the follow
