belonged to every ragrant organization OF The
country, and who opposed the administration
OF Mr. Van Bnren, and could discover an ar

Tyler, the result we venture to say, would
have been entirely different Even the bold
and manly stand which Mr.. Wise has taken
against Know Nofhingism could not save him.
His only recQnnl endaiioB 10 the favor of the
Virginians-a people once chivalric and res

advocacy and defence of human slavery Over
the defeat of such and such party we
have no tears to shed, and can only express
the hope that the Democracy of Virginia viii

Now ssit is poor rule that wont work both

glorious victory they have achievedl They
have avowedly elected ga soldier Of fortune

Truly may it be said to be the day of strange
things when we find the ss0nce great and res

the election of the villifer of JACKSON, and

A MYSTERIOUS AEFAIR.-The N Y Ti,,ass
saws young lady who has teen connected
with an Institution of Learning in that city,
having closed her studies, took board at ss2S
week with a French family in 18th street on
Thursday last, prior to contemplated visit To
Europe On engaging reoG1s she was assured
that the family consisted eBly of mother and
three daughters, and that there we're nc gentle
n,en boardcrs. But affer she had been but 5
hours in the house, she was requested by the
servant to come to dine with a gentleman,
whom the servant described to her as very
handsome The lady peremptcriiy declined
TO dine with the gentleman, and became alarm
ed with the appearance of things at her new
home. Not long after this gentleman came
up stairs with one of the daughters Observ-
ing the iady's door open, the daughter reques-
ted the gentleman to step into the front par
lor, darted down stairs and soon as the Ia
dy's door was closed, she returned to the front
parlor and. with the gentleman went UP stairs
Soon after this, the lady heard male voices be-
low, and finally became so much alarmed that
physician was called, who bled her. The in
valid asked one of the ladies to remain with
her over night, but this refused. In the
morning a female friend called upon her, and
having heard her story, went TO inform herlate
music teacher, lady who came in soon and
did all she could to comfort her. On Sunday
morning, when one of her lady friends called
to see her, she was refused entrance. After
trying again TO get admittance in the after
noon, she called policeman, who compelled
the door to be opened The lady is, accord
ing to the informant of the Times, rery rich,
aad icard Of Bishes HUGHEs. 1t was certain
ly very curious experience she got of board
ing in French family, and probably hardly
worth S2S week.-Phiie. San.

THE NEWS.

The seige OF Sebastopol was progressing
very slowly indeed, and as the telegraph is in
the hands of the Government exclusively, it
is difficult to decide from the imperfect hints
supplied whether the besicgers or besieged
gain most advantage. SYMPTOMS have trans
pired OF extended operations being about to
commence on the part of the Allies. 4 force
of 10, 900 Turks, French and English hastily
embarked on board all the available ships near
Sebastopol, and stood away in the direction of
the sea of Azoff. In a day or two they re-
turned and as hastily disembarked, Omer Pa
sha and his Turks making all speed to ensconce
themselves again in Eupatoria. We are in
debted to Russian sources for all the informa-
tion we possess as to this extraordinary move
ment, but there seems no reason to doubt the
truth of the statement. Gen. .$Canrobert had
reviewed the entire French army, and assured
them he would soon enter Sebastopol either
by the door window, but few days after
ward he resigned the chief command, ostensi-
bly, on account of i'll health; Gen. Pelissier
took the vacant place, Canrobert assuming q
subordinate position as commander of Pelis-
sier's division. Negotiations between Austria
and the Western Powers remain where they
were but between Austria and Prussia rela-
tions are becoming more intimate, having for
object to preserve strict neutrality. Russia
has directed her representative at the Court of
Darmstadt to notify all the German Govern
ments that Russia will only hold to the first
Two Points of Guaranty on condition of the
perfect neutrality of Germany. France and
England have presented ultimatum to Swe-
den, to which the Swedes have replied by in
cooperating their militia. In England many
incidents tend to mark the democratic change
that is coming over the nations. The Queen
has condescended publicly to bestow medals
on private soldiers in the streets of London
In various parts of the count ry 'fadministra
tive REFORM meetings have been held, and in
the House of Lords a debate on Ellenborough' s
motion drew forth an extraordinary amount of
democratic speaking. The Paris Exposition
has been opened; as a spectacle the opening
was a failure. Pianori, the would-be assassin
of the Emperor, has been guillotined. From
other parts of Europe there is nothing remar-
kable, excepting an eruption of Vesuvius.

preparing to be intensely interested in some
thrilling romance. 1t is, cmphatcally, good
paper. Terms: 81 per annum, in advance.

SIGNIFICANT FACTs.-At the late council Of
Catholic Bishops, at Baltimore, every Bishop.
present was foreigner by birth. There are
but two American born Catholic prelatcs in
this country. All these hold their titles from
the potentate who governs the States of the
Church, and are bound in fealty to him, and
he and his Church considered infallible.-
Thus we have the singular anomaly of Provin-
cal Councils held in the United States by the
authority of foreign potentate. At one OF
these held in Cincinnati, Sunday last, the
first convened since the resident Prelate was
raised to the rank of an Archbishop, Bishop
Spalding, of Louisville, preached the opening
sermon, and said the unity and infalibility of
the church were essential consequences of its
Divine ordination. Ia all things thro' Christ
was that Church infallible. Were il otherwise,
the whole plan of redemption would be frustra-
ted, and the end and aim of Christ in dying
the cross, and establishing his church. would
he of no avail. The conclusion of the discourse
had reference to the object of the council
namely, to redress grievances and reform abu
seS, should any be found TO exist in any part
of the province. and 10 engage seriously in the
conservation of the points of dicipline deem
ed most conducive to their spiritual profit
We ask every candid American, if these coun-
ellis, called by and subject to a foreign power,
have constitutional right to redress grievan-
ces and reform abuses? Should not Ameri
can laws reform American abuses, or must We

CRmEA ENLIsrmENrs.-OnS Saturday afternoon.
before q. S. Commissioner G. +. Heazlitt,
hearing took place of W. Van Schwatsenhorn
and Emanuel Van Schuminsky, who are charg-
ed with having enlisted, on or about the 18th
ult., recruits for the English army in the Cri-
mea. The witnesses testified that they went
to the Office of the defendants, No. 81 Front
street, and there met the accused, who inform
ed the former that they were to bind themselves
to enlist for three or four years. They were
told that they would get $50 bounty and 20
per month, and if peace should take place du-
ring the time for which they were enlisted.
they would get pay for the whole time They
were to go to Halifax, and would get $40
down, and be credited with SO IN clothinS-
A number of persons had already been sent
the last batch on Saturday last.
Some of the witnesses stated that they were
told by defendants that they could not be en-
listed here, but might do SO when they got to
Halifax. The witnesses were all Germans, and
could only be understood through the use of
an interpreter. The defendants were held in
$500 to answer, and the witnesses were sent to
prison in default of bail, to testify.--San.

\ CATHOLIC PRIEST IN THE WATCH HOUSE,
The Chicago Journal of the Goth inst, gives
the following account Of one of '<Holy Fa-
ther'' getting on a spree, and finally into the
watch-house, in Chicago, last Friday night
1t appears that the Father Confessays are not
above temptation, and sometimes fall from
their assumed virtue and purity, as well as
other people The Rev. Father Cavanaugh,
last evening, wrapped the drapery of his soilcd
robe about him, and laid down TO dreams IN
the sawduSt of the calabooSe, drunk, very un-
manly, and certainly most unpriestly drunk.
He made disturbance at the Matteson House,
about IL O'Clock, demanding room, and az
ter being elected from that hotel, he took
zig-zag course to the fremont, where he made
himself boisterous and noisy; and having task
ed the forbearance of the clerks to the utmost,
he was taken in charge bS officers Moves and
Melvin. who offered to accompany him TO any
place in the city. He was still disorderly and
ugly and was finally locked up, and paid $40
and costs, or $3.50 for his spree. The pun
ishment and exposure viii prove salutary.

AMERIcANIsM IN MAINE.-An American State
Convention assembled in Bangor, on Tuesday,
and adjourned next day. 1t was largely atten-
ded, and the utmost harmony prevailed. No
nomination for Governor was made, and it will
not be by the Convention process, but each
member of the order will have an opportunity
to express his individual preference for can
didate, and the designation will be thus made
scme time previous to the lst OF August
Strong anti-slayery resolutions were passed,
with only three dissenting voices, and 1t is un-
derstood that comprehensive ground was taken
in relation to the politics of the State, by rec
ognizing the republican party, and the propri-
ETY. of concurng in the nominations OF that par
ty,whcnever practicable. Delegates were sI eject Ct
ed to the National Council, which assemble at

American Demonstration in Indiana County

| Agyccsbiy to notice given large and re-
spectacle meeting for the advocacy Of the
American principles, as laid down in the Plat
form, held in Plumyilie, South Mahoning
township, on Friday the 25th May. Cor. J.
HAYS was called to the chair, and E. E. Lewis,
Esq, Wnl. Tucker, Jacob Weamer and Wm.
Wilson, appointed Vice Presidents, and 7. Z.
Luckart, Secretary.
The object OF the meeting having been brief
ly stated by the president, on motion, B. T.
Runyan, VIM. T. Davis, and j. G. Shields
were appointed a committee TO draft resolu-
tions. In Che absence of the committee, the
meeting was addressed by Drs. Joseph Shields.
c. McEwen aad Wm. Anthony, who laid
down in strong terms the rights of the Ameri-
can people and touched on all the different
points OF the platform. On motion, the plat
form was read, after which j. McEwen, Esq,
being called on, responded briefly, saying he
had no knowledge whatever of the policy of
the Known othing party, but he gave his views
of what he believed to be the true policy Of
the American people, and spoke warmly in
favor of supporting American labor by judi
ciouS tariff, and against the extension of sll-
very. The privilege of being heard was now
given to any person who opposed those prin-
ciples, when W. B. Bingham spoke loud and
strong against the principles of said party, and
strongly in favor OF Popery. DIR. B. Sweeny
being now called on, made some terse remarks,
in which he spoke strongly in favor of the
American movement and the principles of the
party.
The following resolutions were then handed
in by the committee, which were received and
adopted;
Resolved, 1st. That the principles of the
American party meet with approval
I'd. That the bold American sentiments
which shine so brightly on them, should be
engrayen on the heart of LYery true Amcri-
can.
Cd. That we will hail with delight their tri
IL, 4Io2r IL,
distant when America shall be ruled by Amer
leans.
4th. That to secure complete success the
present age demands an open organization.
After the adoption of the resolutions, the
martial band which was present on the occa-
sion was formed, and all those in favor of the
American principles were to fall into line of
march, which moving off, few OF the assembly
were left to gaze after. Having returned to
the place Of meeting, it was, on motion,
Resolved, That the proceedings of the meet
ing be published in the different periodicals in
Indiana county.
The meeting being dismissed, all appeared
harmonious and dispersed in good order.

THE GRAVEYARD.

ssSetting the joke aside, the ssjolly Rats
man. has q heart and soul, for they that can
forget the dead-let the trambles grow over the
graves of the ..loved and lost''-don't care "a
fig for the living. Star Spangled Banner.
We certainly do lay some claim to both
heart and soul. and must confess thatit grieves
US no little to see the manner in which our ci-
tizens neglect the last resting place of the de-
parted. We have always thought that if there
was one feature of humanity more brightly de-
yeloped than another, it was veneration for the
dead, and that no one, however engrossed by
the excitements and cares of life, could SO far
smother this beautiful principle which nature
has implanted in the hearts OF her children,
as not TO permit one thought to linger around
that sacred spot, destined to be their long,
last home.
We never pass our desolate, barren, bleak
iookingCemetery without recalling to mind the
remark of that great man, BENJAMIN FRANK
LIS,--sI will never, if possible, pass night
in any place where the graveyard is neglect
ed.'' And well might he doubt the hospitali-
ty of those, who could neglect that consecra-
ted and holy spot, beneath whose cold bosom,
lie the remains of brother, relative, a
friend. Cold, indeed, must be the heart that
is SO entirely wrapt up in the busy turmoil of
care and strife rolling on around us, not to
be able to moisten with the tear drop of SYM
pathy the lowly mound that marks the last
resting place of the SLOWED and lost"
The human mind will never entirely relin-
quish the idea that there is sympathy exist
ing between the departed spirit and the life
less clay. Call it superstition, or what you
will, yet the consciousness that our bones will
repose In some lovely, secluded spot, beneath
the shade of sacred groves-that the wild grass
and flowers will wave and bloom around our
lowly mounds, viii do much to smooth our
dying pillow, and soothe the sorrow of our
mourning friends.

Shall bring kindred calm, and the sweet breeze,
That makes the green leaves dance, shall watt a
