IHR REGENT NOMINATIONS IN PENNsyLyAl
'NIA.-The convention of democrs1sEats Reading,
Penns was viewed as an occasio6 saght with
momentuods interest to the rival factions of the
democratic party in that State. There was scarcely
ayillags in the State that had NOT its representa-
i've there sounding public opinion, while the lead
ersof each faction strung every nerve to make as
imposing front as pessibles friends of Gen
Cass on the one hand, and of James Buchanan on
Che other, found themselves at the head of larger
army of adhsrents than. they had reckoned upon,
but neither set Of leaders knew whether more to
admire the devotedness of their own adhe rents, or
the compact power and patriotic enthusiasm Of the
rival faction While.b both were proud of their own
strength, both were generous enough to concedeT
still greater strength to their competitors for the
prize Of Aonainastom., Therefore it was that this
convention adjourned without its members availing
Of the best possible opportunity of ex-
pressing the preferences Of the democratic party of
Pennsylvania for either General Cass or Mr..
Buchanan, for the Presidency. =

out Mrs Coddington as the lady referred to as

As vet no pvblic demonstrations have been made
by either party. The First District has such a
large democrsxic majority that q wing candidate
will hardly be put in the field. Several gentlemen,
Of the other party are spoken of. Mr. LaSare, u
is undentoed. declines reelection. The present
csndidates are VIM. Dunbar, J. H. Kennedy, and
Mr.. Bienvenu.
Inthe Second District the tables are turned and
the wings have majority qnite as large as that Of
their opponents in the iower Districts We cannot
isarn that any gentleman Of the slightest claims is
at al deeircus of The honor. The city is paricu-
larry Indifferent, as, by general understanding,
the nsxf pe6lbefsis to Be taken from the country.
We hear occasionally Of ssabterranean rumblngs
shout the four corners, in the neighhorhooa of the
thinking houses !; but the great mass of the wings
of lhst city seem to be provokingly indifferent
about the matleE-while the active politicians are
eagpssed with the Custom. house affairs. We are
ifclinef to think that any clever fellow from the
county can have the Office just forsthe asking.
In the Third District the democrats have a hand
some working majority, and can elect any candi-
date who il fairly nominated. The Fslcianas have
given many patriots to the State, and they do not
fail in this pinch. Col Marks would not object to
serve hia country at Washington. Iaaac johnson
would not refuse, and inspi.e Of his bad sppoint-
menss when Governor, we should vote for him if IN
his distriet, wore iii not that Alonzo Snyder, Of
Madison. lie in the feids who would sweep the
northern parishes Of the district Mr.. Penn, the
recent member. claims a fuilterm. having received
only piece Of q. short session. The only wing
spoken of is George Watterston, Of Livingston. OF
him we can only say that he is the strongest man OF
his party in the east, and come nearer an cleo
ton than any Whig of the district ~
As 10 the Fourth we are inclinedto think that
Tip. Morse. will be left 81 home. His dsunion no.
TORS will find no favor with the ancient popula-
sion, while the norsl1ern democracy find an expo
nsnt IN Senator Dowsn. We think Gen. J. 8 Gil
bert. of caddo, will be the nominee. He is a fine
lawyer, a handsome speaker and able man.. The
wings will probably bring out John Ray, OF Qua
chita, assrong man. well known through the north.
Any of these, or other ambitious gentlemen, can
have the use ofou columns, by paying in advance,
while old customers have only to pay up back bills
and then we will consider the question Of a new
credit.

The 0RRppings :, Exposed.

A Mir. Vose, of Boston, has published descrip- tion of the manner in which what are called the "Spirt Rappngs,F are produced. He asserts that these mysterious sounds are produced by electri- city It IS his practice to place his hands fla upon the table, and then strongly will that the sounds shall be produced, on which the rapS are distinct ly heard in the order and the number he desires He says that, during the operation, the electricity can be plainly felt escaping From the ends of the fingers.
 The faculty of producing these sounds is con fined, according to MT. Vose, to comparatively few persons, not one cut of twenty possessing it. He regards the practice as exceedingly pernicous to health The whole nervous system IS violently excited; the organs, glands and tissues sympathise aud in a short time the person becomes thin, pale, nervous and consuptive looking. In the young the constitution may be shattered for life. It is court ing ill health, if not remotely inviting death to practice these IappngS
 In cases of persons of strong will, no table is needed 10 produce the sounds. Such by a little practice, can throw electricity from the body m any direction they pleased, and whenever the ex- pelled electricity meets hard substance, the noise follows by the exercise of the same power, accord ing to Mir VoSe, tables chairs and other articles of furniture may be made to move. Some persons have this latter faculty, who cannot produce the sounds and vice versa It is not always the fin gers that produce the sounds, when in contact with table. NIT. Vose declares that he has fre- quently performed the experiment with his chin.
 Some time ago it was said, by medical gentle man who had investigated the subject that the rappings were produced by snapping certain bones in the knee joint. Ii IS quite possible that, in some instances, the sounds may have been pro- duced in this manner, or the knee joint, which was felt to move, might have been the point of departure for electricity. The explanation does not, in any sense, nvalidate this. NIT. Vose has arrived at his opinion, by personal experience, which is always more trustworthy than observation. He bears the reputation, moreover Of an intell- gent and veracious man.
 We have always believed that sooner or later n rational explanation would be discovered, not only for these sounds, but for the moving of chairs, tables and other articles at the will of the " me- dium." The tricks of juggles are frequently more wonderful, but we understand how they are produced, we are not sstonlshed: whereas, in this case, the spectacle has been exhibited of thou sands becoming dupes to female impostors, and believing that departed spirits would hold commu- nieation with this world by so crude medium as knocking. We trust now that the absurdity IS exposed, to hear no more of the " Rochester Rap pings"
