SMITHSONIAN bKCTUREs.-The second lecture
OF froi biedsoe on the - Social Destiny Of Man
al The Smithsonian last evening was numerously
attended. The burthen of the lecture was to show
tha! Ihe social reformations proposed by Socrates
and Plato, and modern French PHILOSOPHERS were
failures for the reason that they We're pred ted
upon the doctrine OF the innate purity and perfec-
ton 81 man; whereas that animal was naturally
40 better than he should be The French phiIos-
C2hefs had proposed TO bring about a millennium
by a course OF popular education in about ten
years, and at the end of that time had brought
about one OF the most anarchial and sanguinary
periods ever recorded in the history Of the world
80 much for the fruits OF French philosophy.
We snppose that il Is the intention in further
lectures to point out the true mode Of human refor
nation.

EE We have recently perused highly
interesting and rare work by that prodigy of
learning Johannis Lantirnus. 1t is entitled
ga Treaties on Apparitions." The follow
ing extract viii give the readers of the Dem

work, and also may possibly be perused with
profit by those who believe that spiritual rap
pings are not absolute humbugs, and that the
spirits of the departed are in the habit of re-
visiting the glimpses of the moon
''1t is much to the Disesedit of Ghosts
that they doe so commonly revisit the Earth
on such trivial Errands as wouli hardly justi-

awaken Spirit from the deep Slumbers of

EE The Editor of the Huntingdon UIaion
is terribly out of hunor with the members of
the Cambria County Bar, because they have
unanimously determined to take care of their
own interests. He states in his paper last
week that he and the other distinguished
members of the Huntingdon County Bar are
not the least intimidated by the proceed
ings," but are determined to come here and
practice their profession whenever they see
proper to do so. We are glad to hear this,
and we assure them they will always be as well
come as flowers in May. We would respect
fully suggest to r. Milton, the propriety of
his paying US a visit during our next court
He will find an abundance of small beer here,
of which he in common with all other emil
nent lawyers is doubtless very fond. NJ. D
Magellan, Esq, will move his admission to
the Bar of this County. and deliver few re-
marks appropriate to the touching and solemn
occasion; after which he will be invited by the
Bar to partake of sump.uous banquet con-
sisting of small beer and gingerbread. A fter
the banquet is over, the Editor of the Noun
taineer will, if he is good looking, (Which is
highly improbable men seldom are, }
take him around and introduce him to the
ladies We will furthermore covenant and
agree, for and On behalf of the District At
tOrney, to allow him during the week to de-
liver speech in an assault and battery case
which will of course enable him to take hi
light from under bushel, and let it shin,
before men. So friend Milton don't forget t,

The Charleston Convention :.

The Democratic National Convention will
meet in Charleston, South Carolina, on
next Monday. The Democracy in every Sec
ton of the Republic will await its action
with feelings of intense anxiety. We enter
tain no fears that its members will prove
themselves unworthy of the confidence repos-
ed in them by the American Democracy
We confidently predict that their nominee for
President will be everyway worthy of the sup
port of every National man in the country,
and that their platform viii be broad enough
70 contain all who are in favor of Democratic
principles and narrow enough to exclude all
who are opposed to them. The delegation
from this State is composed of the ablest and
best Sons Pennsylvania can boast of, and
will we are confident act in the Convention
| in a manner that will entitle them to the
| thanks of their constituents.
Hon. Stephen A. Douglas will certainly
receive large vote on the first second and
third ballots, but we do not think he will be
nominated 1t will be difficult matter for
him to secure the support of two thirds of the
members of the Convention. 1t is far from
improbable that Hon. r. NJ. Hunter of Va.
will be the nominee. He is an able and con-
servative Statesman, and would make strong
candidate. Breckenridge and Guthrie will
also have many and ardent friends in the
Convention who will be slow to abandon them
The California delegation will support Hon
Daniel S. Dickinson of New York. who is de.
cidedly the strongest man with the exception
of Pierce. in the Northern States at the pres
ent time

TERRIBLE AcCIDENT.-Sic Persons Killed.
One of the most terrible accidents which
we have been called upon to record for a long
time, occurred on Thursday morning last, at
the Coal Works of Hays & Co., near Irwin 5
Station, on the Pennsy ylvania Rail Road. 1t
appears that six men entered the shaft for the
purpose of going to work, aud were being
let down in the usual way, when the rope at
tached to the windlass, through which they
were being lowered, broke, percipitatiug them
a distance of some one hundred and twenty
feet, to the platform below The result is
easily imagined. The entire party were
killed, and their remains terribly mangled
They were all miners, and all worked in tho
pit. Three of them were married, and men
of families. The casualty, was most fright
full one, and produced deep sensation in tn,
neighborhood where it transpired

@ DR.. Eberstaller of Carroltown, and
another professor of the ''healing art of the
same place, were lodged il Jail on last Sat-

sieians on the morning of that day, having
nothing else to do, turned their attention to
tanglefoot, and soon succeeded in getting
glOriously tight. 1t then occurred to Eber-
staller that his wife stood sadly in need of a
foyging, and invited his brother" to assist
him in administering it forthwith. They did
not however succeed as well as they expec-
ted. Mrs. Eberstaller who is said to be a
very respectable lady. made information

sweet lines:
..If in departed souls the power remain
These earthly scenes to visit once again,
Not in the night thy visit wilt thou make,
When only sOrrowing and longing wake.
Nol in some summer mornings light serene,
When not cloud upon the sky is seen;
When high the golden harvest rears its head,
All intersperced with flowers of blue and red,
Thou, as of yore, around the fields wilt walk,
Greeting the reapers with mild, friendly talk"

tired of anti-slavery agitation, and that they
mean to put speedy end to it. They have
