start Of them, in being nominated. The
demonstrations in favor of the former are
confined TO Pennsylvania. We may, with
as much reason as many Others, form an
opinion, that Mr., Cass will be the candi-
date for the Democracy and that either
Gen. Taylor or Mr.. Clay will have to
resign, the one in favor Of the other, on
The side Of The Wings. The Wings claim
Gen. Taylor, and openly advocate his.
merits TO the Presidency. We have yeI
TO see the frs Democratic member Of
Congress, if we except Mr.. Cameron. Of
The Senate, who has openly proclaimed
his preference for the old and gallant SOL
dier. l. do not say there are no Democrat
ic Taylor members but that they, il there
be any, have not defined their position, in
this particular.

The Forgery Of Coin.--It is the easiest
thing in the world TO detect such fraud,
ifit really exists, for we have only to take
the specific gravity oflhe coin by weighing
il in the air by its loss Of weight in water,
when the presence Of base metal will be
detected. Pure hammered gold has spe-
cifc gravity Of 10 65.l00. and hammered
silver has specific gravity of 10 5l.lOOl.
Hammered copper has specific gravity
of 8 $1,000. This manner Of detecting u
dulleration ofgold is mol original with US.

manned or mansled soldier and provi-
sion for the disabled otficer.-Char News.
Washington, Jan. 90.
1t will be remembered that before the
last baules in Mexico, a memorial was (al
Puebla) signed by officers Of the army,
asking Congress TO make provision for
their families should they fall in battle, and
suggesting retiring list for officers and an
asylum for The enfeebled private soldier.
Accordingly, MIR. Burt, of South Carolina,
from The CommilIee Of Military Affairs
has Introduced two bills. The first is de-
signed TO increase The efficiency Of the reSi-
menls and corps Of the army, by providing
that Il board shall assemble under the or
ders of the President, 10 whom shall be
submitted the competency for active duty
Of officers who shall have become incom-
pelent by old age, or physical ufir!nily,
from wounds or diseases that, when found
unfit for dury, they shall be retired from
duty ou The pay proper of their rank,
without emoIutnents, and The officer sunk
in rank shall take his command with the
pay. Of his own rank and the enoumenls
Of the rank from which his superior was
retired. The bill will introduce economy
as well as efficiency. The olher provides
for a Soldiers Retreat, an asylum for
soldiers disabled By wounds, diseases, or
old age, to be sustained from funds drawn
from The service. A deduction Of twenty
cents month from his pay, all sloppases
of pay, fines by courts martial, and the
remainder of hospital funds Of the army.
A chief feature of The bill is, that those
who are Of bad character or habits shall
uol be admitted benefciaries of the asy.
lum. II will be sustained by funds derived
exclusively from The service.
Congress will be in no particular hurry
TO pass these bills into laws, although the
ohJecls ofthem are just.
National Conucntions.-A meeting of
Democratic members of Congress was
held in the Senate Chamber, at Washing

PESSsrLvANIA.-This is our last issue which

mia before their State Election, and we once more
en,rest the Wings of that State to do their u,
mos, next Tuesday. Our hope Of the election OF
Gov. Johnston has been materially strengthened
within the last ten days We now believe that
his chance is nearly or quite even, and that he
will be beaten. if at all. by fewer votes than his
friends could have added 10 his poll by the most
determined exertions II, through want OF thor
ough organisation, a storm, a freshet, through
local distractions or ineticiency Gov J. should be
defeated, the shame will be Pennsylvsnlss but
the sorrow will be the whole Unions
GOV. Johnston ought to have the vote OF every
esrnes, Free Soil man in the State. He is no
new convert. but the author aud leading advocate
Of the Legislative Resolutions which placed Penn
sy, anna right on this question long before there
was any prospect OF his being candidate for
Governor HIS election will be emphatically a
Free Soil triumph, and we hope for the pleasure
OF recording il.
There is ono other point which we cannot
help touching, though our suggestions viii be re-

things irom position which all cannot see--snd
Que OF them is. that the defeat OF David Wimoi
