Another lrtcnmond In the Field.

The Democratic Convention at Princeton
was opened byen inAamed speech from the
redoubtable John r. Jones, the man who
telegraphed to the Sentinel, that John A.
Pierce had been nominated BY the Demo
cratic National Convention, and it was the
best selection which could possibly have
been made! We hope he has by this time
learned the name Of the man who was such
an excellent selection. We had supposed
John at Washington City still, and endeav-
oring to make strangers believe him the
President of the United States, or at least
one of the Cabinet--but presto, and up comes
John right in the midst of the Princeton
Convention. Whether he was there to
watch the claims of John R. Jones himself,
or was merely acting as agent for other in
terests, we cannot say, but John was there,
and John made speech. We have had on
ly one item of it reported to US, and therefore
apologize for not reviewing his address, be-
cause we know from having read the Senti-
mel, that anything John says, IS said, and
that's enough, John being no common per-
son. He doubtless when he rose upon those
pedestals of his, saw that the faces surround
ing him were luminous as a blick cat of a
black night, with the despair of an anticipa-
ted defeat. He saw something must be said
to revive their courage, so he declared that he
had just come from Washington City, and
that when he left there, the Wings had Civ.
en- up every State but Rhode Island! Now
if Mr. Jones had been less a great man, the
less fault would we have found with this
statement. Unknown individuals may say
what they please in their obscurity, and SO
long as they keep in their position, nobody
cares or thinks anything about it. But re-
marks come from some lips as authority, as
the reflection of wisdom above that of more
falable men, as the dgested conclusions of a
world of gathered information. Mr.. Jones
sometimes forgets his own Importance, al
though those who know him best say he nerer
does-and is apt to make remarks, which il
he but once considered their effect as coming
from him, he might be more cautious in utter
| ing. Now, that Mr.. Jones, of all other
men, should have said the Wings at Washing.
ton had given up every State but the tea-ket'
tie State, is particularly oppressive upon
Whiggery, and might blow up the expecta'
tons of the whole party. We entreat Mr.
Jones, as we have no doubt he is disposed to
do the fair thing, not to make this remark a,
other places, as his opinion, if known t.
the Wing party at large, might have disas
trous efects--and we do not think it fair thai

Lightnin r,


How utterly Insignificant are all the boast
ed sciences and arts of man when placed in
competition with or in opposition to the wing
ed messenger of death and destruction which
from time to time visit US, causing for the mo-
ment the cheek to blanch and the heart to
cease its function. tits true, that the pow
er of mind over matter, is in some instances
made obvious in reducing to subsection
and bringing into useful cooperation the
wild, fantastic and unparalleled power of the
elements; but, when once the pent up artil-
lery of Heaven explodes, and the vivid light
ning's glare momentarily, marks the progress
of the fearful bolt-then, Oh! then, how
weak man appears!
Twas led to these reflections when view
ing the effects produced by that tyrant of the
armament, lightning on Saturday last.
The explosion took place at MCutcheon-
vile, Blue Grass settlement, about IL o'clock
in fearful proximity to the earth. The heat
in the forenoon was quite oppressive, altho'
the wind blew fresh from the North and the
East, carrying the clouds onward, which ap-
peared surcharged with electricity. All at
once, right over this place. as it appeared, a
sharp ringing, deafening roar occurred, as il
whole array of artillery had been discharged
instantly confounding and unnerving all
who were then in its sphere. So unexpcct-
ed, so appalling was the crash, that the pow
ers of the mind were for the moment para
lyzed and some moments passed away before
we could look around to see if any person, or
other object had been stricken. We then
found that a large tree which stands at the
corner of my work shop, had been struck by
the lightning, and ponderous arm abou,
midway shaved from the trunk; thence
the electric fluid passed into the shop, tear.
ing off and Kidding the planking and prostra.
ting my two sons and another lad who were
then in the shop, one of whom was stunned
and supposed to be dead; but through thu
mercy of God has tolerably recovered from
the shock.
This boy had most miraculous escape
the metal button which was on the fore par
of his dress being melted, and the carmen
burned. His person also bears evident
marks of the lightning. 1t is perhaps re-
markable, that the air in the vicinity of the
explosion had a sulphurous odour as also the
house which sustained the shock. The ap
pearance Of smoke in the house and around
it was also somewhat singular. The tools
comprising hand-saws, chissels, &C., were
thrown about in disorder. The hccts or han
dies. were, some of them, split and broken off
and the keen edges of the tools were melted
But what appears most singular, is, that those
instruments over which the lightning passed
are now complete magnets, attracting witt
force-steel, iron, filings, &C., which may be
placed near them. We have reason to bles:
God, that the phenomena passed away with.
ont causing loss of life, or any serious de-
struction of property.

Of the questions that will enter more or less
into every political combination; and saws
that "the manufacturers Of America cannot

out higher tariff!'' He adds that the South
and West are becoming much more friendly
to the principle of protection than they have
been hitherto. He considers slavery the
the great disturbing element in the politics
of the United States, and predicts all sorts oil
evils from it in the future. He closes with
a rational prediction, that "whoever may be
the President, the United States will hold on
the even tenor of their way, increasing every
