A MePifeGl Rehllke.

The editor of the Easton Argus, writing from
Lynchburg, Va, very justly makes the following
remarks in reference to the course pursued by
certain journals in this State, who, in their at
tempts to injure the character of Mr. Buchanan,
have been all along making friends for him.
Although we are favorable to the nomination of
Gen. Cass, We cannot stand idly by and see the
reputation Of Q leading member of the Demo-
cratic party assailed, without placing our veto
upon such q course. The letter says:-
''The editors of the Harrisburg Keystone are
pursuing very ungenerous course. Suppose
every other democratic paper in Pennsylvania
were to adopt similar course, what would be
the end Of it? If all the papers friendly to
Mr.. Buchanan were TO follow the example set
by the Keystone, and abuse Gen. Cass, Judge
Douglass and others, We would have beautiful
state of affairs 1t must be peculiarly graft
flying to that paper TO find its articles against
Mr.. Buchanan re-published in all the ,chig pa
pers of the South-the democratic journals know
how to estimate its attacks; they have not for
gotten that the Keystone was a rabid free-soil
paper only year ago, and are well aware that
its opposition to one of the greatest Statesmen
OF the age emanates from the malicious hearts
of disappointed aspirants for public plunder
Suppose Mr.. buchanan did oppose the admis-
sion Of Missouri as slave State? What does
that prove? Can't a man, in 80 years, change
his opinions in regard TO public measures? 1t
might as well be argued that because Henry
Clay was democrat in his younger days, he
cannot possibly be the steadfast, uniinchiny
wing that every person knows him to be, now" "

DIR. Ryder and the Union.

The Washington Telegraph, in alluding to the
address of the distinguished President of the
Georgetown College, DIR. Ryder, at the COM
mencement, on Thursday last' says:-
''Dr. Ryder surpassed even himself. His
glowing eulogy On the Union-his scathing de-
nunciations of those who would weaken its
bonds or sever its ties-called forth a respon-
sive burst of applause from all who were within
the sound of his voice. If Dr. Ryder were a
politician, this speech, our informant says
would elevate him far above the many who are
called great, in the estimation of those who are
satisfied with the Union as it is"

RESIGNED.

Thomas A. Mcguire, Esq, has resigned his
situation as Assistant Superintendent of Motive
Power on the Allegheny Portage Rail Road.
Capt Phelps has been appointed by the Canal
commissioners to fill the vacancy. The private
business of Major Mcguire demands his entire
attention: hence his resignation In retiring
from this situation, it is but necessary to state
mat the friendly relations existing between
capt. West, the gentlemanly Superintendent,
and Mr. Magaire, are not severed, and that both
parties desire to maintain that intimacy through
life that has existed during their official con-
nexion. Major Mcguire will devote his entire
attention to his Hotel in Johnstown, and will
use all exertion to increase its accommodations
and add to the comfort of his guests.

Bigler's Prospects.

Three years ago, we stated that Col Bigler
was then the most available candidate for Gov
ernor in the State. This opinion has only been
strengthened by time and circumstances, and
We repeat that he is now even more popular and
more the favorite of the masses than he was
then. There is no Democrat opposing him any
where; but number of wings in various parts
of the State, of intelligence and prominence,
cordially give him their favor and support. Thi.
is the reward of well-spent public life, and
his example should be followed by all who as

Mr.. Editor I'm the Sentinel of July 3Ist,
observe the communication of Sancho, against
the Bloomer Costume. 1t appears / threw
down the gauntlet-and he picked it up. /
certainly bid him welcome in the ring. / did
indeed expect him to advocate the old mode Of
dress, and show wherein it is superior and more
adapted to the comfort of woman than the con-
temp lated change, but sad disappointment
awaited me. In my communication few weeks
ago, stated-(and by the way it is admitted by
most ladies, THAT the present mode of dress
is not the best that could be adopted, and that
Reform in female costume was necessary. Hence
the onus probdadi lies on Sancho's shoulders
and he should have shown wherein ii is that the
present mode of female dress adds SO much
'tgrace and dignity to the lady, but he is
strangely silent on this subject 1 have read
Saneho's article again and again, and am at last
constrained to exclaim with Bassanio in the
Merchant of Venice, s'his arguments are like
two grains of wheat in two bushels of chaff
you must search all to find them, and after you
have found them they are not worthy your
search" Sancho makes few beautiful rheto-
rical fourishes, and no doubt when he wrote
his article on Bloomerism he must have been
inspired with the chivalric spirit of Don Quix-
otte. 1t is very fine thing to talk about
| 'fame, "sword, ''pen" and 'ssweet nonsense" :"
but what all these things have to do with the
present subject under consideration it is difficult
for me to conceive, unless Sancho thinks that
by making use of such 'sheroic' epithets he will
be able to drive the friends of the Bioomer
costume from the field, and thus make himself
sole umpire Of the world of fashion.
remarks. He says "Mrs. Bloomer proposes a
complete and sudden transformation of the
present dress worn by ladies' Well is it wrong
that Mrs. Bloomer should do so? If the present
mode of female dress is not the best that could
be worn, and Sancho does not deny the fact, is
it not perfectly consonant with reason and
common sense that a change should take place
in the world of female fashion? Again he saws,
sit the new dress) is undeniably pretty for a
Harem girl or ballet dancer; but no less insult
able for an enlightened woman" SC. All, in
deed! How does Sancho know it would be un
suitable for an ''enlightened' woman. This is
simply an ipse dixit without any proof to sus-
tain it. We have it from the lips of intelligent
ladies-who say that the new dress is very suit.

physicians, who say that the dress now worn by
ladies is very injurious to health.
And is this no proof positive? Are we not te

judging?
