Fortunately, we can have, by no manner of
means, any negro instructions to jeopardizeour
lives and property; although this city in years
past, eonld boast her quota of ineendiary and

All cur meTchantsare now busiIy employed

tieipat=d The business relations of Philadel-
phia and wheeling, and the adjacent counties in
Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, are
every month becoming more intimate, and We
fatter ourselves that they VIII be all in all with
each other when the Hempfield shall be COM
pleied. i can hear nothing definite among the
newsmongers as TO how the road is progressing,
or whether the talked of consolidation has been
effected. suppose this city, in her capacity as
city, win do very little for any enterprise, in
Esmuch rs she is already groaning under taxes
The array of items for which man is taxed
here, really reminds one of the piece we used to
read in our school books, called the Taxed En-
glishman." 1t is the highest taxed city in the
United States, believe.
The famous Mrs Lucy Stone, alias Blackwell,
is. advertised to speak to-night; subject "Bor-
der Rutians atHome;" something harsh, ma
ignant and masculine, you perceive, just as all
her selections seem TO be. The people of hea-

Carlyle call monsterisms, but certainly our own
blessed era is slightly tainted, when these vaga-
ries of strong minded" women win call out
larger and more fashionable houses than the lee
lures Of such men as Lieutenant Maury or Ed
ward Everett | notice by the Intelligencer,
that you are endeavoring to get up a course of
lectures in Wheeling, but that the effort appears
involved IN some uncertainty. Surely city of
the size, wealth,aud intelligence for which we
give her credit ought to sustain list of emf
nent lecturersyery handsomely. Nearly every
different section of this city has its literary in
stitutc, where lectures delivered at least
once aweek, and sometimes oftener. We tried
to get Mr.. Gilmore Simms, of South Carolina,
to favor us with one, but his poor success in New
York, and his disgust generally with us unap-
preciatiye Northerners, led him TO reply very
tartiy and laconically, that he was going home,
and would not oblige u.s. Peace to his sensitive
soul, say we.
The names of Gen. wm. f Packer. and Col,
S. w. Black are urged by Democratic papers in
the interior, as candidates for the Goyernorship.
The claims of Hon. Andrew Stewart, WIN. d.
kelley, Judge wilmot, John Covode, John c.
Kunckel, and Henry d. Moore, are being
brought ont by the opposition Journals. Gen.
Dick, Of Meadville, has written letter declining
the nomination. The Harrisburg Sentinel re-
marks:-"Without union, neither the Ameri-
cans nor the Republicans can hope to carry
Pennsylvania-and unless the masses of the
Republicans cut loose from their leaders, and act
forsthemscsves, We see no prospect of a union
