The Peoples Party.

1t is profoundly gratifying to every
true friend of Law and Order, of the Con-
stitution and the Union, to witness the
proud position which the Peoples Party
of Pennsylvania occupies at this day
Twice has victory perched upon its ban
ners; twice has it vanquished the false
Democracy and now it stands forth in
oil its magnifcence, firm, united, power
full, determined hope Of the toiling
masses. May the brilliant triumph thro'
which it has just passed only nerve it for
the future! May the hopes which now
cluster round its standard not be disap-
pointed May it go on in the Right,
conquering and TO conquer, redeeming and
to redeem, until the happy day shall
dawn when every department of our State
Government shall be wrested from the
mis-rule of Loco-Focoism
But they are not Pennsylvanians alone
that rejoice over our recent victory. The
People Of other States share deeply in the
same feeling. The result of the second
Tuesday of October in the ''Old Keystone"
has sent thrill of pleasure through the
hearts of patriots in every section Of our
glorious Confederacy. The news of our
success has gone forth, and everywhere
Will its influence be felt Pennsylvania is
great State,-a ruling State in our Ma
tional Politics, and she is now placed in
proper position to engage in the Presi-
dental canvass Of 1860. She has, by two
overwhelming majorities, repudiated the
present miserable dynasty at Washington,
and arrayed herself OH the side Of Free
White Labor, and has thus enabled her
self to dictate the character and policy OF
the next Federal Administration. She
may not herself furnish the Opposition
candidate, but it will most unqucstionably
be her province TO determine who and
what manner Of man he shall be. She
will, at our National Convention, discharge
this duty as becomes a great State, and
We doubt not, to the entire satisfaction OF
the true friends of the People in every
part Of the Union. And in November
1860, she will give such an expression al
the ballot-box as will awe the Slavery
propagandists, shame the Dough-faces
and, we trust, wipe out forever the las
vestige OF Sham Democracy Stand from
under"

RSS~ Quite an interesting operation was
successfully completed lately in Port Dun
das, Scotland, for the restoration of a
chimney which had settled out of the per-
pendicular. This was accomplished bv
saving several of the mortar beds between
the courses on the side from which the
chimney leaned, thereby allowing it to
come back with its own weight, without
the application of any external force
Only one draft was cut at time, to guard
against any shock which might have en-
dangered the state of the building, and bv
keeping the saws wet, bed of mortar was
prepared for the superintendent weight
to settle down upon. Twelve cuts were
made III this manner, on different parts of
the structure, which generally set before
the saws had passed through half of the
circumference, particularly in those made
nearest the ground, where the weight was
greatest. The principal dimensions of the
chimney are: Total height, 46S feet 4;
from surface to top of cope, 454 feet; out
side diameter at foundation, 30 feet; at
surface, 81 feet; at cope, 81 feet.
