PsuiADEIpuA, Nov. l6, 1850.
In your calculations upon the next Speakershp you
overlook, not acquainted with, movements
in progress here which may lead to another proract
cd effort at organization. Thus Hon. F. JOY Morris, of
the Second district is out in card refusing to go into
distinctive republican caucus the ground that he
elected sspeopes' man, and in district where the
Americans, compared with the republicans, are
in the proportion Of ten twelve one This
holds true, also, in the Third, Fourth and Fifth
dist let's represented respectively by Messrs Mlward
Vcrree and Wood all old Know Nothngs and all not un
likely To follow the lead OF an able straightforward
man like Morris. That gentleman further declares his
determination not 10 into caucus at all unless 1t
braces the Southern Americans, who likely Goa
Lessee with the abolonsts oil with water
understand that the programme further cont mp ates
meeting Of the Penny delegation in this city about
the 4th Of this month for the purpose of agreeing upon
the action shave indicated, which, need hardly say
meets the entire approval of the conservative people OF
Philadelphia.
leave it Tor you to figure out the probable results OF
this course. J. D. X.

The Prince Of Wales Coming to A
Merica.

1t is rumored that the young Prince Of
Wales, who meditates visit to this coun-
try. intends to preserve strict incog>
nito. 1t is suggested by some of our ex-
changes that the known snobbishness OF
the American people. and their incurable
propensity to toady every foreign notable
who may deign to visit our republican shores
has induced his royal hingness to adopt this
mode Of travelling. 1t is exceedingly NOR
tifying to contempla the absurd length to
which this inclination to toadyism carries
the people Of this country, especially those
of the North, for we are happy to remark
That though The Southern populace are some
what too ss'uch prone to idolize and din
nerize (f we may be allowed to coin word
titled greatness, yet their conduct is de-
cency and dignity personi6ed, compared
with the ridiculous and snob5ish enthusiasm
Of our Northern brethren.

Of Douglas; and the former presumes to
threaten with political death any one Of the
prominent politicians Of his own State who J,
as Southern men, dare TO denounce the
promulgator Of doctrine more obnoxious to
Southern patriots and prejudicial to South
ern rights than the heresies Of Seward or
the rogueries Of the underground railroad.

BLoND1N AND De LAVE EcLIPsED "A
Boy Crosses THE GENEsEE CHAsM IN THE
N1enr! Tho Rochester Union gives the
following, which seems incredible, but as it
is told in all seriousness, we give it:
There was an exhibition upon De Laves
rope On Monday night last about II o'clock
which did not appear in the bills. One Of
the press boys employed in this Office. Jas.
Buckley aged Is years, proceeded quietly,
with o companion, ut the hour mentioned,
to the west end Of the rope, at the saw mill
and boldly started for Falls Field, without
balancing pole or any other accompaniment.
He was about half an hour in making the
perilous journey, which, it may well be i'm
agined, was accomplished with no little diff
fcalty and danger. He was sometimes a.
stride of the rope, then beneath it, travel
ing with his hands and feet, then in cross
ing the guys was obliged to hang by his
hands alone. When the size Of the rope,
which he was unable to span with his hands
is taken into consideration, the extreme per-
il he encountered, becomes apparent. His
palms are blistered and calloused, and it is
hardly probable that he will soon enter upon
such foolish undertaking again"

John Minor Bolts and the Presidency

The star Of this gentleman is far in the
ascendant. Already have Richmond, Nor
folk and many other cities and towns spoken
out in his favor, and the "A ISLANDERS" an
obscure, but still respectable club of Brook
lyn, have waited on the honorable gentle
man with the request that he would be SO
kind as to preside over this Republic for
the next four years, and it is stated that
Mr.. Bolts modestly acceded to the request ;
but the most important and significant fact
of all is the action Of the General Commit
mittce of New York, who on last Friday
waited on Mr.. Bolts with an address OF
welcome to the city. All things considered,
we think, unless the face Of affairs undergo
a radical change before the meeting of the
Know Nothing Presidential convention
Mr.. Bolts nomination is more than proba-
bic.

A "WelI- Governed CITY,"

That 'wen-governed city, Baltimore
in which, according to the Herald. Amer
icanisna receives splendid vindications,"
has lately been the scene of outrages of the
most damnable character. So numerous
are the revolts against law. order and de-
|cency that it is impossible for country
journal to give anything like faithful de-
tail. In the Exchange of Saturday last, we
find four lines which afford slight aisclo-
sure of the condition of the swell-goyerned
city,
Murder, rape and robbery stand fore
most on the black catalogue Of crimes
Within the last week, we have been called
upon to record the commission of each and
all Of them by the rufians Of this city"
The New York Tribune thus alludes to
a little affair, certainly remarkable in a
s.well- governed city" where Americanism
is SO splendidly vindicated:
In Baltimore as we thence learn, there
was brutal, murderous assault, worthy the
Feejee Islands; no words, indeed, being
competent to exaggerate its infamy, and
every man In it deserving the halter. A
steamer left the town, freighted with large
company for camp meeting on Choptank
River. Apropos of nothing, bands of row.
dies aboard, organized under different names
| began an indiscriminate assault upon men
and women, knocking them down in every
direction, Clubbing and stabbing them as at
an internal carnival. The lights were blown
oet to perfect the design, and robberies were
numerous !; while one man was stabbed, and
his wife violated before his eyes! In Heav-
ems name, what are we coming to ? Where
public and private security, when such things
take place, not in holes and caverns, but on
crowded steamboat, and steamboat upon
such misunderstanding Christians in SO
called Christian community to place OF
worship !? It adds nothing to the supreme
shame aud villiany Of the recital, to say that
one man is reported to have died Of his wounds
received on the occasion. ~
Beautiful display of Americanism But
where are the guardians Of justice?' Plott.

splendid vindication. Their deep-dyed
villianiy may, possibly, receive check
however, as the following. from the Balti-

judicial Election.

The election in the Second judicial Dis
trict, to supply the vacancy caused by the
death of the late Judge j. W. Nash, took
place on Thursday. There was but little
excitement, and SO far as heard from bat
few votes were cast. In Petersburg Mr.
Gholson received 543 votes, Mr.. Bouldin,
80. In Chesterfield, at 4.30 P. NJ on
Thursday, at three precincts, Gholson had
received 6S votes, Bouldin /. There is
no doubt Of Mr.. Gholson's election BY a
large majority.
