WITH SuoAR, &C., &C.-The attendance q the
meeting Of the Democratic Club on Friday
evening last, Was small, a. wswoi, but the pro-
ceedings were deeply interesting from the fact
that Nr. Dean Was the principal speaker, and
the late nominations ofthe Republican Conven.
ton, the main topic OF discussion.
NJ. Dean regardedthe adoption Of the new
Constitution as Republican triumph; he iuti.
mated pretty plainly that he should continue 70
hold Is enemies Of the Democratic party, all
Who voted for Il, and that he would reject Is .
standard bearer Of his party any one who was
disposed to favor that miserable fabrication
He said emphatically that If he vas compelled to
vote for friend Of this Republican bantling,
he preferred to take him from the Republican
/ party, &C., and Id that case he knee of no man
| in the State more worthy than Judge Love-
He paid a warm and glowing trioute to the
many virtues Of the Republican candidate; in
short, he pronounced the nomination not only
one eminently fit to be made, but one that roMii
be very hard to beat. Ia this respect he gave
eloquent utterance to the sentiments of all pre-.
sent.
Judge Claggett was called for, but he de-
clined making a political speech. though he
made some very appropriate and happy re
marks, In the course Of which he endorsed the
high opinion which Mr.. Dean had expressed Of
Judge Lowe; indeed, he portrayed him as almost
TOO good, aud quite too kind hearted man for
Governor.
These compliments we're evidently sincere,
| for they were uttered with heart,hrilng ear.
nestness by men who have intimately known
Judge Lowe. They may, therefore, be regard.
ed as the spontaneous homage Of the human
heart to exalted virtue and true nobility of
| character.
We are highly gratiied to see the canvass
open with display Of SO much liberali,y and
fair dealinG.-(Mt Pleasant Journal.
l. Got Ahead.
A person who is acquainted with sin, history
and carnal company, has been reckoning up the
| vices of Sodom for the purpose of comparing
them with New York. He strikes . balance in
favor Of Sodom, and allows that New York is
far ahead Of anything known to Noses and the
| Bible. We should not wonder il he were right

One day last week, Michael Cramer, Of Mer.
GERS burg, Franklin county, Pa, cut in ten con-
secutive hours ten acres OF wheat in thoroughly
4 workmanlike manner. II turned out two hun.
dred and fifty.two shocks or three thousand and
twenty four shcaves-being nearly three hun
dred and three sheavcs per hour, and over FIVE
per minute during the whole time Of cutting.
This is, perhaps, the most extraordinary Grad
ling ever done in this country. In amount il
is considerably beyond the average Of reaping
machines At the close Of the performance,
Mr.. Cramer did not appear to be much fatigaed,
and expressed his ability and readiness to 0n-
dertake the cutting of an adjoining lot Of seven
ceres on the following day.
FIFTY MuLKs BuRNKD.-Between one and
two o'clock this morning, fire broke out In

which resulted in their entire destruction, to-
gether with City mules, and, as ramor hath 4,
three or four men who slept in the hay loft
1t is said that the con6agrstion was caused by
the explosion of a camphine lamp, but whether
this was the cause or not, u Is certain that the
fire spread with such amazing rapidity that the
mules could not be got out, and were conse.
quently destroyed. Heart.rcndng indeed,
we're the cries Of the tortured animals, until
death put an end 10 their sufferipGs. The loss
BY this fire could not have been I6bs than $780,.

the Albany Journal, that one Of Walkers re-
cruits has taken passage for this city on canal
boat. His name is William Bennett. and his
parents reside . few miles from Cleveland. The
description Of the suffering be and his COM
