BET We copy the following in relation
to the outrage recently perpetrated by the
abolitionists Of Philadelphia, from the
PENNSYLVANIA:
1.-THE LATE RoDBERY.-If our Southern
friends still have doubt of the amicable
understanding between the Abolition and
anti Catholic Know otEings. ON this side
of Mason and Dixon's Line, let them
Weigh we'll the robbery OF COL Wheeler.
AS heretofore noticed. Six hundred Po-
Iiccmen, armed and equipped, were with
in five minutes walk Of the scene Of that
high-handed outrage, but the service Of
not single one was TO be commanded.
They are all Know othings, aud Of the
oath bound stamp, and it is absolutely
certain when they unite in a particular
course of action, that they are moved by
orders in Council. Their first allegiance
is due to Know No:hingism, and the
Know Nothing Mayor is the expounder
of the faith. If the sons Of South Caro-
lima, Georgia and Louisiana are willing TO
cooperate with the higher law com
bination, they are prepared to bury their
own rights in the grave Of the Democratic
party. If this with the Personal Liberty
law of Massachusetts, will not recall them
to the faith Of their honorcd leaders, now
no more, we must labor hencc(orIh
through sense Of duty. rather than with
a certainty of success. The stain Of slave
stealing can never rest on Pennsylvania.
In an unguarded moment, she may have
delegated her sovereignty to cabal OF
traitors, and that cabal may have COM
promised her, in II treaty OF entity with
Abolitionism but her sovereignty will be
rccsptured. and her fidelity to her sister
States vindicated. But as for her seducer,
she is joined to her idols, let her alone
She is Massachusetts by name, but she is
rotten to the core. Once the cradle OF
Liberty, she now aspires to become its
grave once the standard bearer Of the
States, she now strives to become their
undertaken she, who at Lexington and
Concord, struck the first blow for Ameri-
can Independence, would now hang the
weeds of the Union upon the Eagles

lowing extract of letter from an Ameri-
can, dated st. Petersburg, July 18th.
&c This morning We have been to see a
review by the Emperor of about 1900
men of various arms in the Champ de
Mars. The Empress and all the Imperial
family were present, with numerous and
brilliant staff, making fine show. Our
boys wonld have been amused to see a
little American boy. dressed in the old
continental uniform, at the review. He
is the son of Mr.. Skater, child of
about six years. The Empress sent for
him to be taken up into her pavilion,
where he was much noticed and caressed
by them all and saw the Emperor lean
ing from his horse to speak to him.

MeIico aud the United states.

The correspondent of the New Orleans
Bee, writing from the city OF Mexico I'M
der date of July 9Th, announces rupture
of diplomatic relations between the Lega-
ton of the United States and the Mexican
government. The writer says:
A week ago Mr.. Gadsden notified the
Mexican government of this suspension,
and stated that he would await instrucs
tons from his government. For some
time past Mr.. Gadsden had evinced mar
ked GOODNESS towards the Administration
but the event has been>precip plated by the
following circumstance : One Delgado,
born in Cuba, had been compromisedin the
political affairs of the Island and denoun-
ced by the authorities. He had fed, had
travelled in Europe, had resided in. the
United States, and been naturalized
Laterly he came to Mexico. accompa-
MED by beautiful female-his wife, or
companion. Some time after his arrival,
Del0ado, was arrested, thrown in prison.
and exiled. This is not all-not satisfied
with banishing him, the Mexican govern
ment sought to deliver him up to the Gu
ban officials.
With this view Delgado was placed on
board of the English steamer at Vera Cruz.
in company with Mexican who had been
instructed to surrender him to the Cap
tain> General. The affair is a splendid
evidence of the sagacity and talent of the
Mexican ministry. They did not reflect
firstly, that in a default of treaty of ex-
tradition, DeIgado. even though natu>
rallied American, could not be legally
given up to the Cuban authorities, and
secondly, that if such treaty existed, it
could not apply to political offences. The
most amusing point about the business Is
that our Minister of Foreign Affairs never
reflected that once on board a British yes
sci, Delgado was free, and that if the
Captain General had demanded the refu-
gee, the commander Of the British vessel
would have laughed in his face. Concha,
however, had more sense than Bonilla,
and did not attempt to get possession OF
Delgado, who, understand, landed at
81. Thomas. The lady who accom-
panied him to Mexico, was, at the last ac-
counts, lying i'll at Vera Cruz, of the vo-
mito.
The same correspondent, writing on the
the 10Th, says Mr. Gadsden had two per-
sonal interviews with Santa Anna. the re-
suit of which was that the dispatches Of
the former would be more pacific. Mr..
Vidal, the new Minister to the United
States, was straining every nerve to settle
the affair About the first of August,
Mr.. V. would set out for Washington. ac~

mother Dona Manuel, CnrmNn, daugh
ter of Santa Anna, and her husband. NJ.

Remarkable Confession aud Strong
Testimony. =


Testimony.
The Louisville Courier has, from the
First. been a Jealous advocate of'the can
didates and principles of the Know-Noth-
lngs. Il was amoHg the first, if not the
very FIRST, papers in that State to advo~
cate dissolution of the Wing Party for
the purpose of building up a new party
= on the American Platform. 1t has been
quoted. far and near, as orthordox, and
manifested its sincerity by placing the
American Ticket at the head of its COL
umns the moment it was announced.
And there the ticket still is, although the
editor, on the 18th, publishes the follow
ing very pointed and startling article:
For months we had resisted all solicit
tations to join the order, and when we at
last yielded to the entreaties of our friends,
I'VE did so against the conviction Of our
better judgment. Our position in regard
% Americansm was we'll known. We
were sincerely DESTROYS Of aiding in the
firm establishment Of the principles in the
main advocated by the party, but we pre-
ferred doing so without being fettered or
tramclled in any way.
We have never attended a Council
Meeting, but the fen weeks' experience since
our connection aVith tile order has convinced
US that no man 1UhO has any SeLf-respect or
independence can belong to it twelve months

purposes, but aOH drive from 1t all good

Piles which caused its rise can prevent its
downfall. True Americanism, to sue
coed, must do so under other auspices,
and the sooner there is a reorganization
of the party the better for the country.
We will seek another opportunity to
speak of the efforts of some OF the order
to take the management of the Courier
out OF our hands and control it themselves.
and of their attempting to SHIT our mouth
by refusing to permit US to aOlthdrat0 from
tile order and holding expulsion in terror
over US. Indeed, this latter game seems
to be one determined upon by the man
ayers as polite Mt this time. Numbers
of honest and independent men, who will
not swallow some of the bad nominations
by the order, have made unsuccessful ap,
plicatiOns for withdrawal. In some in
stances these applications have been fol-
lowed by charges being preferred against
the applicant, in order to deter others
from like step. But such odious tyranny

Eieving themselves from ii.

MIC Election Of President.

The Boston Telegraph (ultra. Abolition)
.despairs of electing an Anti Nebraska
man for the Presidency, if the election
goes to the House of Representatives.
The language of the Constitution is-af.

lure of choice by the Electors
sThe House Of Representatives shall
choose Immediately. by ballot, the Presi-
dent but in choosing the President, the
votes shall be taken by States. the repre-
sentation from each State having one
vote quorum for this purpose shall
consist of member or members from
two.thirds of the States, and . majority
of all the States shall be necessary to
choice.''
s"There are, says the Telegraph, thir>
ty one States sixteen being majority
There are fifteen slave States, not oneso
which would vote for an Anti>Nebraska
man. In addition to these fifteen slave
States, California has chosen two slavery
Democrats, who, in all probability. would
vote with them. The State of Iowa has
divided delegation, one anti~Nebraska
Democrat. Her vote will thus probably
be lost. The other fourteen in number,
should vote for an anti-Nehraska mum
So if the issue should be Nebraska and
anti Nebraska, the vote would stand thus:

ANOTHER HUMBUG FROM BARNUM.-
Barnum has issued prospectus for new
notion, and one that will, no doubt, make
a noise among all the other humbugs in
the country. He says an eminent pub
fishing house in Paris is engaged in issu-
ing series of the most distinguished fe>
male beauties in the world, which, when
completed, is to include ten of the hand
soonest ladies in the United States, and
these Barnum has undertaken to engage.
In order to stimulate competition, he Of
fers $4,000. in premiums, ranging from
$1,000 down to $3.50, to be distributed
according to the different degrees of,beau-
ty. Ladies accordingly are requested to
send in their daguerreotypes to the Mus
scum. None will be received later than
the 18th of September. The Judges of
the best looking are to be the people at
large. Each visitor is to mark on q slip
of paper the particular number, cores
ponding with that of his choice, and de-
posite it in q ballot box at the door. The
result is to be announced on the 18th of
October. Single and married women
alike may compete. but none below sweet
sixteen are to enter the lists. No limit to
ancient maidenhood is specified. When
the show in public is over, artists are to
be employed to paint full sized portraits
Of the premium beauties.
