will succeed In the senatorial district, composed Of

ereement between friends will be settled, Il - ex-
pected, at the meeting Of the conference to-day. In
Washington county, II is believed, we shall elect q
democrat in place Of Mr.. Craig, the wing member,
whose term expired with the last session. The
truth is, the prospect is most cheering; and have
no hesitation, after having reviewed the whole
ground, in predicting an easy triumph for the de-
nocracy in the Keystone State at the ensuing cleo

| 1t begins to be generally believed that the wings
will support the native American candidate for
canal commissioner in this State; their efforts, 30
far to nominate a candidate of their own being most
! feeble and contemplate. Was policy more
mistaken With all their professions to the contra
ry, such is their anxiety for bargain and such their
creduty that they do not hesitate to fall into the
trap Of the weakest and most brazen trcksers. IL,
indeed, they should determine 10 support the native
American candidate, the majority for MIR. Burns the
democratic candidate would be, instead Of fifteen,
nearer thirty thousand votes.
| Mr. lngersoll's work, on the late war, will be
published by Lee g. Blanchard, Of this city, in a
few days From glance at the proof-sheets, !
am enabled to pronounce the opinion, that the high
expectations of the public in regard to this book
will be abundanty realized. His portraits of the
maser-minds Of 1912, 1873 and 1915, are oil drawn
as by master hand. The sketches of Clay, Macon,
| Timothy Pickering, and other leading friends and
enemies of the war, are very interesting Indeed,
| the book abounds in valuable information and
never-before published facts, while the views of the
able and learned author cannot fail to be admired
| for the lrankness and bodness with which they are
given. II is not possible that such book should
not create sensation, that its author should not
be assailed by those who cannot appreciate the
great good he has done by it to country and her
/ literature; but this will not prevent it from taking
high place in the estimation of the world, as
| book Astounding in original views, striking pas
sages lfe-like portraits, and accurate detas--all
told in style sngularly fresh and attractive.
| The brig Albert, in charge of Lieutenant Wal
kerr and a guard Of American seamen from the
United States brig cambridge, arrived at this port
on Sunday last from Bahia--lhe vessel and part Of
her crew having been sent home at the instance of
! the United States consul at Bahia, on charge Of
being concerned in the slave-rade. The Albert
contained four persons charged with being concern
ed in the slave-trade on board that vessel and the
mate ard of the brig Washington's Barge, of
this port, also charged. She had, besides, on
board, Il party of seamen charged by the United
States consul at Bahia with muliny on board the
baruuc Alto while on whaling voyage. The
prisoners were all taken into the custody of the
United States marshal for this district, and COM
mitted for further hearing.
We have lust received news from Mexico, indi
cating-whaI has SO often been prodicted-tha, that
unhappy country far from being fit to 60 TO war
with The United States will have The greatest diff
Guilty in keeping her rotten and tottering gov
eminent from falling to pieces. Revolt in the army,
quarrels among the chiefs, and want and dissatisfac-
ton among the people, indicate that poor Mexico is
only able to deal in bombastc threats, without being
competent to realize them. The best proof that we
shall have no war; or if we have, that il will ermi-
nate in her overthrow, is to be found in the news
