The GARDNER DEMONSTRATION LAST NIGHr.
We publish this morning full report of
the proceedings of the grand Gardnerite illum-
nations, Publications, tergeversations and OBJ
fusticatlons that came off here last night 1t
was handed to us at late hour, III sealed
envelope, directed to the Boston Spy. Upon
peruSing the manuscript, we had some mis-
givings that the report was intended for the
Boston Bee; but as the reporter of that paper
had left the city by the extra train, and as
there was no way of ascertainng for whom
the document was really intended, we deter
mined to publish it at once. We did this the
more readily, for the reason that some of Gov.
GARDENERS friends have felt agrieved by the
drevtty Of our reports Of Gardner meetings in
this city. We trust that they will be satisfied
with our efforts to please them upon the pres
ent occasion. We give The report as we re-
ceiyed it, without vouching for its accuracy in
every particular.

We invite the especial attention Of our readers
the following correspondence of the New York
Trbas,se containing, as it does, an authentic re-
port of the proceedings Of the National Conven-
tian Of the American party at Philadelphia, last
summer. We know that its statements are per-
iectly reliable, and that they are vouched for by
some Of the ablest members of the convention,
whose names are in possession of the editor of
the Tribune. 1t will be seen from careful Pc
rusa of the letter, that Governor Gardners claims
to the appreciation of Massachusetts, men, for his
conduct at Philadelphia, are not well grounded.
That he acted the part of bunker and dough.

he only stifened up his dorsal column in oonse-

The Grand Torch Light Procession of the
Gardnertes, last evening, only served to reveal
their nakedness. II was a tame and spiritless af-
fair, feeble in numbers, feeble in enthusiasm, and
ieeoler still in the character Of the speeches.
lhere were at no time more than six hundred in
the procession, and large part OF these were
boys The Boston delegation numbered less than
one hundred, although five hundred were conf.
IDENTITY expected. The procession occupied just
four minutes in passing any given point. The
Gardnertes have revealed their feebeness in this
vicinity to the eyes Of all. They are mere
handful, and they know it, without leaders, with.
out influence, and without any bond Of union but
the " cohesive deare of public punder.p The
sixth OF November will wind them up in the best

He had been at great pains to compile statistics

KEEP OUT OF DEBT.-From an article in the
New York Times, we make the following ex-
tract, which is particularly applicable to the pres
ent "hard times"
"Keep out of debt and you are rich not rich
in all senses, but, in most, richer than many who
have the reputation. Mr. A. who drove past a
moment ago, is taxed as if he were worth u
hundred thousand, but his liabilities are hun.
dred and fifty thousand. He will fail in less
than month and retire upon the failure, and
be hereafter a broken merchant with money
enough, and a shabby reputation. You owe no
cent and have hardly cent to show after buy
ing your next dinner; but nobody looks on you
as the cause of his ruin; nobody fails because
Of your failure to meet your engagements; no
widows turn their rebuking eyes on you; no
orphans charge you with the authorship of their
want. With your empty pocket you are richer
than he in his (un) comfortable retirement with
money enough Chat does not belong to him.
"Out of debt, every sixpence you get is your
own: you may look on it with unalloyed sensa-
ton of right to save or to spend it, to tnrn into
any fashion of pleasure or enjoyment that it is
equal to. But in debt, your money not your
own. 1t belongs to your baker, butcher, grocer,
taor-or the old uncle who was silly enough to
lend to you.

A CURIOUS SURPRIsE-A SEVEN YEARS
SLEEP.-A letter from San Francisco to Mr.. r.
r. Harris, of this city, from his brother, relates
curious incident that occurred here a short
time since which we do not recollect having
seen in print Her Britannia Majesty's expor-
ing ship Plover arrived at San Francisco a short
time since from the Polar Sea, where she had
been ice bound since lS47.
When she left San Francisco, some years ago,
j. was mere trading station, resorted to by
few vessels in pursuit of hides, and the town or
place contained only a few adobe houses. The
captain therefore sailed into the bay without q
pilot and approached the city in the evening.
He was much amazed at the numerous lights
he saw.
When he awoke from his dream of seven
years the next morning, he found a noble city
occupying the site of the ancient San Francis
co. He had known nothing Of the Mexican
war and cession of California to the United
States, and the many other great events that
had taken place during the time he had been
locked up in the frozen regions of the north

WHAT Becomes OF THE SPECIE ?-This is
question asked by almost everybody, and has be-
come newspaper theme. The answer is, that
it has gone to the seat Of war;" where the BEL

The above touches the secret of the I" hard
times" about which everybody is groaning.
Our financial philosophers who asserted the fal-
lacy that q state of war in Europe would be a
commercial benefit to this country, begin to find
out that state of peace is far more conducive
to all sorts of prosperity, the world over. Eng.
land and France were not only drenching the
plains of the East with blood, but they are SOW
ing them with gold. The scene of battle is al.
ways the scene Of extortion, and every serf
who has bullock or loaf of bread to sell in
the Crimea, is bagging the mint drops drawn
from Western Europe and the United States.
In the mean time, both England and France are.
producing less, and consuming more, than in a
state of peace; and instead of selling goods
abroad, are selling largely to their own govern
ments. In other words are selling to them
selves, rather proftless operation. go

Cool YET ACCoMoDATING.-A man by the
name of Bahr, in Sebastian county, Arkansas,
says the Fayetteville Independent, was lately in
very peculiar circumstances. While absent from
home, vagabond by the name of Rose made
the acquaintance of his family, and so far tran
scended the bounds Of proprety as to induce
Mrs. Bahr to consent to run away from her hus-
band, and to co-habit with him. Accordingly he
yoked up Bahr's oxen, loaded the cart with the
effects about the house, and placed Mrs. Bahr
and her two children on the top of them, and
was about to cry "get up Berry," when Bahr
made his appearance. He had already heard of
his wife's unfaithfulness, and came up a weep
ing.
"Oh, Polly Jane, Polly Jane, are you going to
leave, and take Bob and Sarinda?"
Mrs. Bahr anawered not word but the
attentions of Rose was drawn to the amenta-
tions.
"What is the matter Mr.. Bahr :" enqured
Rose.
"Polly and the children are going to be sepa-
rated from me" responded Bahr.
"No need of that, Mr.. Bahr--no need Of that.
Come and 60 with us in fact we need you to
pack water and chop wood. Cheer up and come
along. Don't look at the dark side of life
you'll have a first rate time. Get up Ber-

SHARP PRAcTIcE.--A day or two since one
of our good citizens, who will be recognized at
once if we call him John Smith, happened into
grocery establishment, and understanding that
silver change was in demand, inquired what pre-
MUM they paid for it, and was informed, five
per cent. Thereupon he drew forth 95 cents in
change and handed it over to the groceryman,
and received therefor regular dollar BILL This
satisfactory speculation, or something else, led
our friend into the extravaganza of calling for a
three-cent glass of beer, which was furnished
and drank when he drew forth the identical dol
lar bill and rendered it in payment, which was
received and ninety-seven cents in change hand
ed back At the latest dates the grocery man
was attempting to figure up the profit on the
glass of beer. Kenosha Tel.
