PHuADEIPHIA, Aug. 80, 1859.
This city is divided into IL election Districts,
each one sending Representative to the House
There is always contest among the Democracy to
secure these DON nations, no matter how hopeless
nav be the prospect Of success. The struggle this
wear has been as animated as ever; though the
prospect of any one being elected ia exceedingly
mesger 1t has resulted in the selection of the
weakest ticket put forward for many years. About
one hall of those on it are keepers Of tayerns or
grogshops, the places where rowdies and rufiiins
coDgregate get drunk and sally forth to get up riots
or commit outrsges on peaceable citizens. Rum
and rowdyism have got complete ascendancy, pack
ing the primary meetings, supercediog the decent
portion of the party, and carrying everything with
a high hand For years past the Democracy have
thus been going the downward road to which their
principles naturally tend, and are now pretty near
the bottom The ruff nsm which breaks up the
harmless rural picncs of the orderloving Germans,
the camp. meetings of the poor blacks and outrages
excursion parties in steamboats, and cars, so far
from being sbamed by the press or cowed by the
pOl:e assumes in this way regular organization.
Instead of being Indignantly voted down, there are
thousands who will support it. The candidate for
Di.trct Attorney on toe same ticket is the party
who was ousted some years ago, in consequence OF
enormous frauds being shown up IN taking and
counting the votes. Now, under any circumstances,
the Peoples Party can beat the Democracy this
year. But with such ticket as this to contend
against, our msjoritles must DO very large. Our
ranks have long since closed up, and through the
entire State there is perfect harmony Of action
among us. But declensOn of this kind /, con-
taeious among the Democracy. Over the river in
New. jersey the rum and rowdy influence which
ramiies from New-YOrk through the eastern sec
ton of the State, bias buled the Convention into
nominating for Governor man whose antecedents
may be found in bar rooms and prize fights. was
there at the time and saw the whole thing. 1t
was not political triumph of one set Of principles
over ar other but victory of the DULLES over the
law and order men. One of his organs claims his
nomination as "a defeat of the hypocrisy of Re
gion, and the hypocrisy of the Sabbath. The
amount Of hard drinking aud harder swearing done
by these 10 carry their point, exceeds anything
OF the kind ever pract,ced in New-Jersey. If the
Opposition there should permit such nominee "
be elected they had better hang up their hddles.
But there is very little fear Of such result. The
better classes of bis own party will refuse by hun-
dreds to vote for him.
Plans will soon be advertised for from which to
build the great monument in Independence Square,

this enterprise, it will now De pushed forward to
completion. While this is going on, one OF our
citizens, Strutbers, is constructing ssrcophagus
for the body Of Henry Clay, to be deposited n the
base Of the monument now being erected at Lex
