mens are being made between the friends OF Fremont and
Fillmore TO harmonic upon electoral ticket In Penn
syyana for the purpose Of casting the vote OF that State
in the electoral college either for Fremont Fillmore as
may be most eectual in defeating Mr.. Buchanan. This
announcement made through the New York Tribune in
its issue Of Thursday, the nth instant follows;
"a movement been started BY the Pennsylvana dele

suits that State. They will recommend Union conven-

of his friends to Fremont in the electoral colleges If the
friends of Mr. Fillmore not deeply dyed in sectional
ism and disunonsm the Fremontes themselves they will
scorn SO shameless attempt to make them instrumental
in bringing about that catastrophe which Mr. Fillmore SO
orcbly predicted in his speech at Albany The Fremont
leaders, however, desperate-they see "the hand

may be affected, we have fears Let the black

who are truly national and devoted to the Union do not
rebel against so infamous effort bind them to the
cause of disunonsm. Every movement like this which
exposes clearly than the real issue and the real

TO TIE PUBLIC.

The undersigned citizens of California at present So
journing in the Washington CITY, have with much re-
greet in several Of the papers "eepious extracts from
California papers, imputing to the Hon. Mr. Herbert the
practice of various vices whilst in that State and the
mission of sundry crimes.
We deem it duty, citizens of that State place
the matter in proper light before the public and say
that these charges known mentioned in Cal
crna whilst Mr. Herbert occupying various positions
in the State, all of which he filled with credit himself
and to the satisfaction of his constituents
We think il proper that the same public who have pc
rased the statements in relation to Mr. Herbert should
Also be somewhat informed of his in State and
the estimation in which he has been held by the public
Some of have served with him in State Legislature
and others Of have known him personally for the past
seven years, and others shorter period.
Mr.. Herbert, like many others Of our prominent
merchants and professional in California when he
rived there after working in the harbor dischargng goods
went to the mines and there worked and pracsed the
profession of law. He highly esteemed in his
county, and was selected fill several minor Offices which
he did to their entire satisfaction and in 1852 he elect
ed member Of State legislature leading the entire
democratic ticket He served with ability his constituents
and appointed by the legislature in connexion with
Of the senate the responsible duty of
aiming the books Of the treasurer and eo~prcilsr Of s
State
The following year be was returned again to the egis
port for speaker Of the house
In 1854 he was nominated for Congress on the first bal
lot and stumped the entire Stain in connection with his OPP
ponent and elected by handsome majority, nowith
standing division in the democratic party.
In all these canvasses there opposition, and the
cusomed searching by the opponents into the character
and conduct Of the candidates of both parties The
for Congress especially close and warmly
tested by Of the sbest in State and during
all these contests the charges made and published
known mentioned either by the press by
his political opponents II they true noW when the
accused is six thousand miles from his State they
most certainly true when he lived amongst them
and would have been used BY his opponents in every city,
town. and precinct TO have defeated him. The malicious
articles that published have emanacd from enemies
and political opponents and such newspapers have
published statements in relation TO Mr. Herbert re-
specially requested to give this the publicity

BunDNG Win WET BRioKss-We notice In exchange
paper paragraph upon this subject which think Of
considerable Importance to builde II Is stated what
h considered good authoritythat Of experence-that
wall twelve inches thick built Of good mortar with bricks
well soaked stronger In every respect than sixteen
inches thick built dry The Of this Is that Il the
bricks are saturated with water they win not abstract
from the mortar the moisture which Is necessary Its
capitalization but the contrary they win chemically
unite with the mortar and become solid rock On
the other hand, II the bricks put up dry they mmed
atey take all the moisture from the mortar leaving II
dry to harden and the consequence Is that when build
ing Of this description is taken tumbes down OF its
own accord the mortar from II Is like much sand.
There Is, doubt, much truth In this assertion The
great absorbent power OF baked clay naturally acts in
urousy mortar and the consequence is insecure and
dangerous walls In opinion, building should be
erected in the city the walls Of which would not stand
firmly IL deprived Of the support Of the oss and what
wall win do this II the adhesive property Of the mortar Is
destroyed by the absorption Of moisture from It by the
brick before IL has time to harden7 Our builders would
do well TO give this subject their serious consideration
