that the constitution of 1852 ought 10 be
maintained, and then the modification con-

Enlistment of the Empire the people finds a

security for the future, closing, as il does

just pride. because, raising again freely and
deliberately what all Europe, thirty seven

RrM BoTTLEs OUTLAwED. The follow
ing case tried in the Quarter sessions OF
Berks county, Pennsylvania, is thus report
ed by the Reading Gazette:
"a wife indicted her husband for assault
and battery, committed under the following
circumstances: They were returning home
together in wagon, from narket-the hlis-
band provided with pocket pistol wei!
loaded, from which he took sundry 'swiss,'
until he became shot The wife reInon-
strated earnestly against SUCH condue., which
aroused the anger Of her lord, and he com
menced abusing her; whereupon she seize,
the rum bottle and threw it out into tie road
For this her brute Of husband beat her
Judge Jones charged the jury that the Wife,
act of breaking the bottle did not Justify the
husband in striking her; that although a wife
had no right to destroy the goods and chat
ties ofa husband, rum bottle was an ex-
ception; that wife was perfectly jnstifiable
in seizing her husbands rum bottle where
ever she could lay hands on it nd destroy
ing it: and that in this instance the defend
ant did no more than sensible woman
ought to have done. The jury rendered n
verdict in accordance with this sound o. in
ion. Rum bottles may, therefore, from this
date, be considered without the pale Of the

The True FIRR, FIRE OF THE FLIHT.-
Messrs Gales g. Seaton have noble art-
Gle on the result Of the election, which We
should like to commend to the serious atten-
ton of every Wing, in the present crisis.
After enumerating the causes of defeat, and
the consultations" under It, they thus con-
clude:- -..
From the brief suggestions which we have
thrown out, our readers will have discover
ed that we do not agree in sentiment with
those Wings who exclaimed, in anguish Of
spirit at the news Of the disappointment of
their cherished hopes, that in the result Of
this election "all is lost but honor. -
Our sentiment Is, on the contrary, that the
Wings have lost nothing the loss of which
ought to deter them from the continued sup-
port ofthe principles embodied in that no.
Bile creed promulgated by the Baltimore Con-
vention.
As for the Wings laying down their arms
and abandoning an honorable cause because
ofits having met with check, as some have
proposed, it is not for moment be thought
of. They have lost an election, il is true,
which they ought to have gained. Buttbey
have country leftfor them to serve, and to
save from the evils of foreign influence, al
ready employed in corroding the cement
which holds this Government together
They still are bound by every consideration
Of duty to themselves, to their families, to
their country, and it's institutions, from
which the defeat in an election cannot dis.
charge them, to stand by their principles,
betide what may This is a moral as well
as political duty, which no good citizen
can cast off at pleasure, and least Of all can
any real Wing. alt

The MORSE TELEGRAPH IN THE OLD

all OtterS.--The system oftelegraphing in

is finding great favor in and on the entire
continent OF Europe, and is fast suppressed

In noticing the recent annunciation that the
King of Wurtenberg had awarded ''the
State Medal of that kingdom to Professor
Morse, the American Magazine says:
"Ths is the third Of the crowned heads
ofEurope who have conferred this honor up
on our country. The Grand Sultan of Tur

testing his appreciation of the invention and
in the high distinction bestowed upon the
inventor. The King of Prussia followed,
and, on establishing the Electric Telegraph
throughout his dominions, directed that the
American system shall be used wherever
intelligence is transmitted through great
distances And now, the King w urtem-
berg adopts entire the A mericaD system.--

graph Union, comprising all the States Of

The BR1rIsH FLEET AT HAvASA.--In the
present somewhatunceTta relations of Gu
ba to the United States, the presence OF a
powerful fleet in the harbor of Havana is.
naturally enough, giving rise to surmise and
speculation. We find thisfleet, enumerated
in Havana paper, as follows: @

Paixhans. Sloop-of-war Dauntiers. % guns,

therefore, is something supplementary and

are willing to admit that "the progress oI

System; but there are such things as check
even to toryism. England may triumph for
awhile; European politics may keep back the
adoption of the American System; but there
is yet patriotism enough in the country to
save it from ruin. "The tendencies Of the

the Interests Of our own country for the pur-
pose of taking care of others---it is doubt
less very benevolent operation, but it is
not wise in itself nor jcst to ourselves

ISrLUEHCE or MASUFACTUREs.-Whi
accounting for the large population of some
of our cities, the Sandusky Register re-
marks:--
Pittsburgh, until within year or two
past, was, six months in every twelve, an is
olated city, hemmed in by mountains, and
accessible only by rough and almost impas-
sible roads. Yet il contained within itself
vitality which sustained il in its steady ca
reer Of adv ancement even against all these
obstacles. Its Iron, G lass, w oolen and Cot
ton manufactures employed Labor, and at
tracted wealth and population. 1t now con-
tains over one hundred thousand inhabi-
tants, and is undoubtedly the richest city Of
its size, in the Union.
Phi .adelphia, now containing nearly half
a million of habitants-being less than
hundred thousand behind New York, in
point of population, has maintained its COM
petition with the latter city solely by means
0f its Manufactures, Nhich annually exceed
in value those of any other cityiD America.
! Owing to this fact, its propCrtionate in
crease during the last decade has been great
/ cr than that uf New York. Yet, in the ex-
tent of her Foreign Commerce, Philadelphia
cannot compare with her great rival; nor e.
ven with Boston, and scarcely with Balti-
more.
