From tha Raltin,ora Cnn


 WASHINGTON, July 24--The state of par ties Tn the country at this time is somewhat confused. The old whig party of the northern States went over chiefly to the republicans or to the know Nothngs, and the remainder to the democrats, at the late Presidential election. In the south the whigs fused with the demo- crats or the Know Nothings. There are signs everywhere that the last named organization cannot be maintained and will be abandoned The Know Nothings of the north are it ap pears preparing to go over, almos. in a mass to the republicans. The whig element of the party rcvoits al this fusion, and will go back to the whlS camp, where an independent few still keep their watch fires.
 me republican party, brought together un- der political excitement finds its bonds very weak ana every future election will show a uiilu"it.oh or It's strength Thousands of 'leih' all who are reasoning and conservative men, are well satisfied with the Kansas Walk CT policy and dlsapprove of the insubordinate and factlous spirit of the Topeka men. The question Is, "where shall they go?" Events, partly local, partly national, must determine that. Things now tend either to a re. organiza. ton of the old national whig party or to flu slon Of all conservative elements into the demo. cratic party.
 The republican party of New York have not used their power with such wisdom and discre- ton as affords a promise of continued local pre- dominance, and TO one will be surprised at the next State election to witness political revo- luton.
 The calculations which have been made upon the success of the republicans in 1860 are without any solid basis, for the party, instead of growing, has shown already signs of deca- dence.
 The August and fall elections for Congress m several southern States, are looked to with some interest as indications of the fate of Amercanism in that quarter. There is scarce ly doubt that the democratic party will have the organization of the House of Representa- tlves.
 In the next Congress, neither North-Ameri. canism nor South Amercanism will make much show; but it appears probable that a new party--a Central American partv--mav disclose itself--a party which may ad dvocate a more decided and rigorous policy in regard to our relations with Central America than that which the administration may put forth

Is a Financial Crisis Comin %

The following from the Journal of Com merce contains satisfactory. and, we think, correct answer to this question::
 We have been shown letter written by a gentleman in England who holds American se- curtles, commenting upon grave predictions of financial and commercial disaster which he has seen m well known paper, and implorug light upon the bect of his fears. Those who allow their minds to be unsettled by such pre- dictons, can find no relief, and their case is beyond the reach of medicine Like the poor deluded people who give ear to the calculalinns of fanatics concerning the destruction of the w orld, no argument against the probability of SUI oh an event can shake the faith; and those who bcguile them have only to extend the time when the date goes by without its pro- missed trouble, to keep the credulous in hot water to the close of their days. There has been speculation at the west which has created great scarcity of money, and interiered with the operations of trade. Some people will come out of these operations minus all they are worth, and many others will involve their friends and neighbors in their ruin. But the west Is not bankrupt, and its recuperatlre en- ergy is wonderful. Two good crops of agri- cultural produce will probably wipe out nearly every vistige of these misfortuneS. Prices of all of the uecessaries of life have become very high and there Is prospect that during the next six months most of them will tumble.- Probably in this breakdown. some who try to sustain them will go down too; but we see no reason to anticipate any wide spread dedication from this source. The country is in the main, prosperous; and as long as this prosperity has for its basis the industry and energy of the mas- ses, its foundation cannot be shaken. There have been too many idle, reckless spectators living upon plunder, but, after all, these are in lean minority. large majority of the peo- pie of the United States are at this moment engaged in productive labor, and so long as they continue in this calling, the prophets of blue ruin may blow their disma! trumpets until their cheeks split, without being able to bring about the disaster they predict. Like a bowling dog, they may keep nervous people awake o'nights; but the sun will shine, and the grass will grow, nevertheless.

By Tel egraph.

Washington, July 26--Instructions to Gov. Cumming were completed to-day They are brief and specific. He is to see that the laws of the United States are faithfully executed No man in Utah is to be affected for his p"lit- cal or religious opinions, but held strictly re sponsible for his conduct, and should the civil aul hortieo be unable to enforce the laws, the military force must be employed. While his powers aae ample for all practicable purposes, much is couided to his prudence and diocre- ton.
 The sons of Col. Ptchlynn, the agent and representative of t1e Choctaw Indians to the general government who were last autumn convicted in Arkansas of assault with intent to kill, and were sentenced to three years impri- sonment in the penltentary, have been order ed to be set at liberty by the President, it ap- bearing that the testimony against them ein- braced no allegation of mahce aforethou5ht, and they were universally esteemed as peace able and good citizens; and further, that the main witness for the prosecution mad offered to be bought off by the friends of accused.
 The report Is in circulation that Brigham Young has written letter to President Buch- anan expressing qualification at the prospect of being relieved from the government of Utah, and pronouncing that the federal officers to be sent thither will be kindly treated, provided that they attend to their legitimate business.

On Such Subjects the Testimony of

WOMAN SHOULD BE CONCLUSIVE.
 sRg Mrs. Clute, of No. PIP Second street. believ- ing her child, about three years od to be troubled with worms, purchased one bottle of Dr. M'LANE'S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE, prepared by Elem ing Bros Pitsburg, Pa; and gave it two tea spoons fu, which had the effect of causing the child to dis charge large number of worms. The child is now enjoying good health. We would advise all parents who may suspect their children to be troubled with worms to lose no time, butimmedately purchase and administer Dr. M'Lane's Celebrated Vefmituge.- It will cure. The money will be refunded in all eases where it does not give satisfaction.
 :-g Purchasers vii! be careful to ask for DIR. M'- LANES CELEBRATED NERMIFUGE, manu- factured by FLEMING BROS, of Pittsburgh Pa All other Vermifuges in comparison are worthless.

The Grasshopners

These destructive insects are the plague of the west, and especially of Minnesota. Their movements are watched with some curiosity and more anxiety by those who are likely to suffer from their ravages It Is said their movements Is from the west to the east every year appear ing further east and disappearing from the west. First they appeared in California, then in Utah and last Tn Minnesota, whence they are ad- vancing east and south. A letter from Anoka, in Minnesota, gives the following account of their destructive habits:
 " Their favorite food is tender garden vege- tables, beans, onions, carrots, turnps, etc. Po- tatoes are ruined by being dvested of all their
 leaves. Last season they arrived too late to destroy wheat or corn. But considering their Immense numbers, the ground being literally covered with them in many places, farmers considered themselves lucky in getting rid of them as easily as they did, for with the sharp frosts of autumn and the disappearance of ve- getatioD, they gradually died off But this was not the end thereof. It seems that eating did not occupy all their time or attention. Care ful observers saw them busy upon the ground about something which now proves to be de- posting eggs, which naturalsts say the females lay to the number of one hundred and fifty.- We had very severe weather here last winter, the mercury several times sinking to 40 de- grees below zero, yet those eggs, almost on the surface of the ground, as they were, came out bright in the spring. As soon as the snow was gone and the ground began to get warm, the grasshoppers began to come up, some early and others later, according to the situation the eggs had to the sun. They have been hatch ing ever since and 1 presume are not all out yet. When first matched they are quite light
 m color, and but small in size. But there are two things that they can do right smart from the first, viz: hop and eat. They hop first, and keep hopping till they find something that suits them to eat, and they are nowise dainty about it either, for they don't stop till the sup ply Is exhausted. Of course the consequences are most disastrous. Whole acres of wheat are completely eaten and destroyed in day Oats fare no better, and corn will doubtless share the same fate. As yet they don't eat grass much, but of course when other things are gone they will take that, and then stock must suffer. Water treatment seems to suit them for they are all the smarter after hard rain. They come from the west and travel east; and when they have eaten everything in Minnesota and Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois will have to share the same fate, as our stock is sufficient for all the country below us.'

Party Fidelity.

The democratic party, now o overwhelmingly triumphant throughout the country IS a proud exhlbl jon Of attachment to principle and of fidelity to the party organization which ach ieves the triumph of its principle. While one party after another has risen. fourished for short season and then sunk into forpettpl ness the democratic party has pursued its steady onward march, and its great governing power has been submission to the will of the majority which, when once expressed, demands the cooperation and enforcement of every member of the great family, no matter what his previous preferences or opinions may have been. In this harmony of aclion has been it's strength--the secret of the Sampsor- like DOW CT; and whenever in isolated instances. it ha. been dlsregarded--wh in resisting the mo- mlnees of conventions, or refusing support to caucus nominations 1t has been traught with evil to the party, and sooner or later, has been followed by the political and moral degradation of all concerned in the act of trcachery to the unity of the organization. There is wise lesson to be learned from the history of parties in this country. Rebellion against the will of thclr majorltes has been SD often practiced among the opponents of the democracy that they have almost ceased to exist; while c nti- nued and unswerving tilelity to the popular will, has made the democratic party the oulv party of any vitality now in existence That 1t may long continue thus, and fulfill all its benehclent missions to the country, there must be no hesitation in visiting infamy and disgrace upon any recreant who shall set up his will aganst that of the majority, or from any mo- tlv0s ot selhShness, favor or affection, shall dis regard the binding force of the convention al or caucus nominations of the democratic partv- PenHsYlUanian.
