A Mendacious and Unblushing Roorback.
Those writing for the Now York Herald from
this point are doing their best to kill the Ne
brAska bill, while, like the editors of that jour
nal, they profess to be its friends. Our atten-
ton is most forcibly called to the fact, by find
ing a Geographic despatch in yesterday 5
Herald, saying
l" Mr.. Dean openly avows that the article in
the Union abandoning the Nebraska bill as a
test question, was the result of bargain, with
ont which Nicholson could not have received
the printing
Now, Mr.. Dean says that there is not a word
of truth in this story. And, further, that the
only ''bargain." or arrangement, he has the
| slightest knowledge of, in connection with the
late election of a House printer, was an offer
from the "Hards' and Wings combined to
support any one to be named by the 'Softs, -
if the latter would thus join in coalition to
defeat the Administrations supposed candi-
date.
Pennsylvania Democratic State Convention
This body meets to- morrow at Harrisburg 1t
will probably embrace very large number of

that resolutions eminently national in their
character will be adopted, as upon all section
al questions the Democratic party Of the Key

The Tribune on Mr. Everett.-The New
York Tribune pitches hot shot into the Hon
Edward Everett for failing to vote on the
passage of the Nebraska bill, saying:
':Mr Everett will find that he has made the
greatest among the many mistakes of his po-
ltical life by deserving his constituents ON this
question. If his devotion to slumber is his
main reason, he ought to have remained Presi-
dent n rd tod nsit IN
wherewith constitutional drOwsiness is incom-
patihle. But in fact his dodge on the vote is
barely worse than the lodges in his speech
The MtelHgencsr has already explained
that Mr.. Everett was sick. We may add that
Senator Seward was also sick on that occasion,
as well as half dozen other Senators. The
truth is, sitting days and nights without 4
recess, is very apt to break down gentlemen in
public life for day or two after such occur
rences The circumstances attending the pro-
tracted session, at the conclusion of which the
Senate passed the Nebraska bill, made many
Senator's quite indisposed for short time.

The Revenue Cutter William L. Marcy
This vessel about which sOlicitude has been
felt recently, owing to the fact of her very
long absence in search of the San Francisco
steamship, has been heard from at St. Cattle
rine's on the coast of Brazil, which point she
reached when forty nine days out from New
York, on her GRAND Of mercy. She had en-
countered much rough weather, and proved
herself in all respects first class vessel as to
sailing qualities, strength, &c. Captain Cor
| nell writes in very high terms of the perform
nnce of the Marcy in all sorts of weather.
