ced There seems to be but little other
news The Telegraph announces the follow
ing items:
FRANcE.-The debate on the revision OF
the Constitution is going on with increased
violence. Gen. Cayaignac has made up his
mind to draw the sword in case Louis Napo-
leon attempts to override the constitution and
prolong his powers M. Tocqueville despairs
of any satisfactory solution. He says half
the law cannot be revised legally; the only
course for the Assembly is to submit, and
make itself respected. Whether this means
that the Legitamists are to submit TO the Reds,
whether the Republic is to go on under Louis
Napoleon, or, according to law, under the
man chosen by the people in conformity with
the constitutions is left in obscurity.
Leon Faucher applied the word abOmina-
BILE in reply to an attack made by NJ. lie Pei
letter in defence of the insurrection at Lyons
of 1881 and 1894, when the whole body OF
the Left rushed towards the tribune, threat
eninp Faucther with some violence. The
men of the Right advanced to the rescue,
and an actual melee took place. FaucAer
looked down on his assailants with disdain.
The President with much difficulty restored
order. This is but commencement of a long
series of struggles.
SPAIN AND PoRrUGAL.-The news from
Spain and Portugal is still of a doubtful COM
plexion. The Spanish squadron has been
sent to Lisbon for the purpose of keeping the
revolutionary party in check.
RoME-The executions in Rome by the
ecclesiastical authorities still continue. Two
individuals were shot on the 10th inst.
CH1NA.-The war in the Southern Provin-
ces still continues adverse to the reigning dy-
nasty, which some anticipate will be speedily
overthrown.
The Steamer Baltic arrived at New York
on Saturday evening with news from Liver
pool to the 25th of June. Cotton had fallen
an eighth of penny per pound. Flour and
grain had slightly improved. The prospect
of an abundant harvest was promising. The
Exhibition was very largely attended. One
of the most destructive fires known in Lon
don for many years occurred on the 2Ath ult.

The Supreme Bench.

The Philadelphia Inquirer says The
Lancaster Convention has certainly present
ed powerful ticket for the Supreme Bench
and one well calculated to secure an en-
thusiastic support We point to it with
pleasure. Il contains the names of gentle
lnen Of the very highest legal abillty-and
the only surprise is, when we remember the
small salary attached TO the Office, that they
consent to serve. But they deserve the more
credit for this pecuniary sacrifice, for such in
fact it viii prove to most of them in the E.
vent of success, and hence they are entitled TO
the most liberal appreciation of their fellow
citizens. We repeat, the ticket is every way
credible to the Convention--the Common
wealth and the Judiciary.

All for The ParIY.

A committee appointed by the Harris
burg Loeofoeo) convention, has put forth
an address to the party, urging them to
sustain their Judicial ticket on party
grounds, and for the influence it will have
upon the Presidential question They
give short biographical sketch of each
of their candidates, in which every strong
point is magnifed and all the weak ones
suppressed The age Of each candidate
is given, ercept that ot Jt1lge Gibson, who
is said to be "A. Every appointment
Judge G. has ever received is paraded,
with the exception of one he now holds
rs Chief Justice of the State, which was
conferred by Gov. Ritner--the Judge re-
signing several years before the expira-
tion of his term, for the purpose of pro-
curing from Gov. Ritner reappointment
for a full term of fifteen years-an act
which was severely condemned by the
democracy as unbecoming and undignifed
in the Chief Justice of this great CON-
mOnwealth. They, however, take care,
to cover this suppressed fact to state that
he headed the jackson electoral ticket in
1924. And they conclude by appealing
to Heyery democrat to vote the whole
democratic ticket, without alteration or.
change assuring them that the demoe-
racy of the Union expect them to sustain
the party and its nominees.

Joshua w. Comfy

Hear what the neighbors of Mr.. Comfy,
one of the Whig candidates for the Supreme
Bench, say of his worth. The Danville DEM
ocrat has the following article ON the SUBJ
ject.
Seldom, if ever, did we witness a greater
unanimity of good feeling, than prevaileda-
mong our good townsmen on "Wednesday, when
the Telegraph announced our own Comfy as a
candidate for place on the Supreme Bench.
Every one was pleased many even to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm nor did this
feeling. partake in the least of a partizan ma
ture. Both Whigs and Democr ais united in
their demonstrations of pleasure. 1t was iIs-
deed the spontaneous expression of all our
citizens in favor of one for sohose tale nts, IN
tegrity, and true nobility Of soul, they enter
tain the most profound respect
AS soon as it was known that Mr. Comfy
was nominated, our citizens generally waited
upon him with many congratulations, and in
the evening, our excellent Band serenaded
him by performing some of their finest pec-
es.

Cure for Cholera MOrbus, DYS-

Receipts Of Cholera.-The worst cases of
cholera morbus, dysentery, and flux, that ey-
or | saw | have repeatedly cured in a few
minutes, by strong tea made of the bark of
the Sweet Gum, taken green from the tree is
best-steep handful to pint of water un-
til the liquor is like good coffee. Drink it
clear, or sweeten it with loaf sugar, or add
wine glass of good brandy if the shock is Sc
we're. If not infallible it is remarkable in its
effects, and we'll worth being known and
tried in every family. SOLIN Robson.
We can add our own testimony to the val
ue of the Sweet Gum tea, having experienced
amazing and speedy relief from its use in a
violent case of dysentery, which refused to
yield to the usual remedies; we have seen in
the last five years, its wonderful benefit in
many other cases; we have used decocton
made from the bark both green and dried, and
have discovered no material difference in the
effect, both being Observation-Disclosures

several years since, and | have only to add,
what has already been said by the Franklin
Farmer,'-that have witnessed speedy re-
lief in violent cases of dysentery which re-
fused to yield to the usual remedies, by the
use of the Sweet Gum; having it at command,

can with much confidence recommend its use

The LocOf0c0s and their British
Friends.

The London Times, which is greatly re-
;o;eed at the success of the friends of Free
Trade have had in this country, uses the
following language relative to the Amer
lean Exhibition at the Worlds Fair:
IF the Americans do excite smile, it
is by their pretensions. Whenever they
come out of their own province OF rugged
utility, and enter into competition with
European elegance, they certainly do
make themselves ridiculous. Their turni-
ture is grotesque; their carriages and
harness are gingerbread; their carpets are
tawdry; their patchwork quilts surpass
even the invariable ugliness of this fab
ric; their cut glass is clumsy; their plan
os sound of nothing but iron and wood ;
their bookbinding is that of a journey
man working on his own account in an
English market town; their daguerreo-
types are the sternest and gloomiest OF
dagurr eotypes; their printed calicoes are
such as our housemaids would not think
it respectable to wear. Even their inge-
nuity, great as it becomes ridiculous when
it attempts competition with Europe
Double pianos, combination of a piano
and violin, chair with cigar case in
its back, and other mongrel constructions,
belong to people that would be centaurs
and mermen if they could, and are al
ways rebslling against the trammels Of
unity"
And it is to build and keep up such
sneers at our people that the Locofocc
Tariff of 1916 was enacted and is now
kept in force. The miserable slanderS
of the Times do not deserve refutation.
We publish them to let Americans know
how they are treated after giving
the British Lords all the Legislation
they desire. When Mr.. Folks Secreta
ry of the Treasury, and his free trade
followers in the United States-those
champions of British workshops,-read
these reflections of their foreign organ
in London, they will hide their heads il
shame, if there be one national feeling
sentiment of pride or love of country left
in their bosoms.

legislative Committee.

The Committee appointed by the late
Legislature to enquir into that portion
of the affairs of the Delaware & Hudson
Canal Company within this State, arrived
in town yesterday, and have commenced
the investigation this morning at the
Mansion House. The purpose of the en-
quiry, is to ascertain from the best eyi-
dence possible, as to the policy as well as
to the right the State has, to resume the
privileges and franchises heretofore grant
ed to the Company under their original
charter, and all the various supplements
thereto. This question, like most of 9TH
ers of its character, has many conflicting
bearings, and is received differently by
different individuals, still we have rea-
son to believe the truth will be developed
and justice be done to both parties. E.
A. Penniman, Esq, of Philadelphia,

and integrity, well worthy of the impor-
tant position they now occupy. DIM

Rich Men in Nep- York-A correspond
ent of.the Oswego Times thus speaks of three
rich men in New-York---one rich by inheri
tance, one acquired wealth by merchandising,
and one by humbugging.
''Stewart, the "merchant prince" DIR. Mof.
fat and VIM. B. Astor, are monopolizing
nearly the whole of Broadway, both above
ground and under ground They are gener-
ally reputed to be the richest trio in the cit
ty. Which is the richest can't saw. Itap-
pears from statement made by the deputy
receiver OF taxes, that Mr.. Astor is possessed
of property to the amount of $2,6O0,O 900,
and that his yearly taxes amount to the snug
little sum of $4,000. If that is all he is
worth, DIR. Moffat is the richer man of the
two; but the probability is, that Mr.. Astor is
worth over $3,000,000 Dr. Moffat's dwell
ing house, with its out-buildings, is valued at
SlS5,000, and he owns other property in the
city to the amount of over million and
halt. Besides this, he owns bank IN Wall
street, and farms, almost innumerable, with
in hundred miles of New York. His Life
Pills and Phoenix Bitters yield him a vast
revenue, which, in addition to his rents, and
interest on money loaned, renders his in
come truly enormous. . Stewart is said to be
worth $3,000,000. He does business of O.

Judge Coulter.

The Lewisburg Chronicle, edited by
I'll. G. Hicock, Locofoco lawyer, speaks
as follows of Judge Coulter, one of the
Wing nominees for the Supreme Bench !:
"Judge Coulter's learning and accom-
plishments have justly placed him in the
front rank of his profession. He holds
his present seat in the Supreme Court by
a nomination from Coy. Skunk, and was
one of the best appointments of his ad-
ministration. He processes allegiance to
the Whig party, but as Judge of the
Supreme Court, he has been more truly
and uniformly Democratic and impartial
than most of his brethren on the Bench,
showing no more favor in any respect, to
the most powerful corporation, than he
would to the poorest and humblest citizen
in the Commonwealth. He seems to have
truer appreciation of popular rights and
more regard for them in practice, than
most of the material that has found it's
way on to the Supreme Bench He re-
ceived % votes in the Harrisburg Con-
vention, mostly delegates from radically
Dem ocratic districts, and was better en-
titled to nomination at the hands of
Democrats who have really any regard of
principle, than some of his successful
co mpetitors. We have no hesitation in
saying he will receive our VOTE" ,e

More Annexation.

The editor of the Tribune is informed that
an Agent of the Government of the Sand
witch Islands is now at Washington, with full
power to negotiate important changes in the
relations between the islands and the United
States He is the bearer of two propositions
--one of the establishment of an American
Protectorate over the Islands, their Govern
ment and internal organization remaining the
same as now the other, for the abdication of
the King, the complete resignation of the au-
thority into the hands of the people under
suitable Republican forms, and the definite
annexation of the Islands 10 this Republic
These propositions are submitted to our Gov
ernment for its choice and acceptance, with
an earnest request from the King and all his
Ministers, that one or the other of them may
be promptly embraced and acted upon This
step, we have reason to believe, has not been
taken without deliberation and perfect con-
viction that it is both necessary and timely

How Protection 40 their sndus-
try Benefits other Countries.

Horace Greeley, in letter dated Paris,
June 1lth, gives the following information
relative to the advantage France has In trade
over England. Let the stern teaching OF ITS
plain facts be camly considered by American
voters, and let them at the polls return ver-
dict against the policy of that party which is
now rendering us daily more and more de-
pendent upon foreign workmen and foreign
capitalists. Here is the extract:
"France may not display so much plate
on the sideboards of her landlords and bank
ers as England does; but every day adds to
her ability to display it. While Great Brit
ain and the United States have undertaken
to vie with each other in Free Trade, Wance
holds fast to the principle Of protection, with
scarcely division in her Councils on the
subject; and she is consequently anaasStng
in silence the uealh created by other Ma
tions. The Californian digs gold, which
mainly comes to New York in payment for
goods; but on that Gold England has mort
gage running fast to maturity, for the goods
were in part bought of her and we owe her
for Millions worth beside. But France has
similar mortgage on it for the grain sup
piled to England TO feed the fabricators of the
goods and it has hardly reached the Bank
of England before it is on its way to Paris
A great share of the haryests of the tributa-
RES of the Sacramento and San Joaquin now
find their resting place here.
First, our funds GO to England to pay her
for the manufactured goods we purchase OF
her. A large balance of trade is created a
gainst us, and we are drained of the specie
we can gather. Second, much ofthe money,
when it reaches England, is sent to France
to pay her for the manufacturers of England.
So that, under the Free Trade system, Eng
land is making large amounts of money from
us, and France, with Protection, is making
larger amounts from England. We are grad
ually becoming impoverished England is de-
irving some benefit from our folly, but France
still clings to the same doctrine of Protection,
and is " consequently amassing in silence the
wealth created by other nations" When
will our people see that their interests all
point to Protection, as Indispensable to high
degree of prosperity

IMMENSE FRAUD ON THE Cover NMET.-The
Tribune says it is. in possession of the name
OF party who is charged with having CON-
mitted fraud on our general Government
under which he has obtained nearly half
million of dollars without shadow of right.
The whole evidence by which he obtained
this immense sum, he is stated to have con-
fessed, was false, and the Government are
now in possession of the information which
will probably lead to the arrest of the guilty
party, who is about to leave the country for
Europe For prudential reasons the Tribune
suppresses for the present the name of the
party implicated
