The Great Eastern arrived at Now York
June 2sth. She sailed on the 18th, and
with the exception Of two days experienced
fine weather. There were 3s passengers
and guests. Tho Eastern steamed the
entire passage, ranging from 254 to 339
miles per "a hours. The highest speed at
tained was l41 knots, and tho trip is said
to. have demonstrated the Great Eastern's
superiority as sea-going vessel, and the
excellency and reliability of her machinery.
The route usually steamed is 3,190
miles, but to avoid the ice tho Eastern went
further South. The time of the trip, IL
days, is nothing TO brag Of. The Adriatic
beat the Eastern overa day on her trial trip.
The Great Eastern will remain at New
York for some time, and will take the place
of the Japanese as tho latest wonder. A
recent description says she is the largest
thing of mans oontriyance that has ever
floated upon the waters, and could carry
beneath and upon her capacious decks not
only all that Noah took with him into the
ark but the ark itself. The ship is built Of
iron, in ten water tight compartments, and
with double walls. Her measurement is
about $4,000 tons. In length she is 692
feet, in depth about 60 feet, in breadth SO
feet, and across her paddle boxes ia feet.
Her weight is 10000 tons. She carries Z
masts, on which may be carried $4,000
square yards of canvas; in her rigging was
used 20 tons Of hemp rope, and 80 tons oI
mixed wire and hemp. She carries 16
anchors, weighing from one to seven tons
and 100 fathoms Of chain cable. Her pad
die wheels are SO feet in diameter, and a
ponderous shalt Of 1GO feet in length and
90 tons in weight, moves a screw with di
ameter of "a feet. The engines which drive
these wheels and screw have united power
of about 10000 horses, or $1,000 men, a
force sufficient for all the machinery ot
Manchester. Her full consumption of coal
is about $50 tons day. When fully man
ned she requires 400 men, and can carry
1000 passengers of the usual distribution
of first, second, and third class; or, as 8
transport ship, she could take 10000 troops

speaker pennington on John sherman.
A triumphal reception was given TO
Speaker Pennington on his return to his
home in Newark, N. j., on Tuesday. In
the course of speech TO his constituents,
Mr.. Pennington made some illusions to Hon.
John Sherman, of Ohio, in connection with
the contest for the Speakership. He said;
knew thirty days ~before any election
that there were men enough who would
vote for me, together with the vote that had
already been cast in my favor, to elect me ;
but l did not want the office, and told my
friends to keep quiet; and throw my vote
always, with one exception, for John Sher-
man, of Ohio. Prolonged cheers am
not ashamed Of that vote. Renewed
cheers. l gave it to a good man, an hon
est man, true man; and l tell you the
history of John Sherman is yet to be writ
ten. He has history yet before him, and
one that will be creditable to himself and
his country. When came into office l
placed at the head of the chief committee
John Sherman who had been defeated for
my place. Applause. IfeltI was bound
to do this in honor; and lean say as amem-
Der from Virginia said to me, that no man
ever filed that post equal to John Sherman.

All the Democratic editors in the 9th
district, are candidates for Congress, and
are scrambling among themselves who shall
go in. Holder, Of the Marion Mirror;
Ramsey, of the Kenton Democrat; Arm
strong, of the Seneca AdVertissrj and Bean,
of the Fremont Messenger, are zealously
setting forth their claims for the position,
or rather for the $4,000, which Armstrong
thinks "would be handy to have round
printing Office" Bean having got $4,000
for his influence in getting the English bill
through Congress, ought to be satisfied,

Funeral sermon OF Democracy.
The IntskigeHcer has the following in re-
gard to the Democratic party:
'In view Of the consistent opposition
which we have felt il our duty to wage
against the Democratic party since its or
ganization by President Jackson, il would
be needless for us TO recite at this juncture
the long catalogue of errors and abuses,
which, in our Judgment, should have
wrought its overthrow long before the pres
ent day. Cheerfully recognizing the patri-
otism Of tho masses who composed it, as
also the ability Of the chieftains by whom
it was marshaled, we have too often been
compelled to dissent from tho wisdom Of its
measures, to find any serious cause of regret
in the prospect of its voluntary dissolution
"a dissolution accomplished under circum-
stances which leave no room for reproaeh
against any save those who arc Of its own

"a party defeated and crushed by the
weight Of superior numbers on the side of

A CANDID COMPASSIONATE N. Y.
Herald which has as good an insight into
Modern Democracy as most anybody, says
of the dissolution of the party:
Well, what of all thisG Here is an ex-
plosion of the dominant party in the gen
eral government for the last thirty-two
years. 1t came in upon the glory of the
battle of New Orleans, it goes out, goes
down, and goes to pieces upon the misera-
bic abstraction of'squatter sovereignty
The event marks new epoch, new de-
parture, new order of things, in our po-
iitical affairs. What is TO follow! The
triumph of the Republicans-the election
of Lincoln, Republican Congress, a Re
publican Administration-and what then
The imagination vainly endeavors to COM
pass the comprehensive changes thus fore
shadowed in our political parties, and our
whole political system.

An Awful Death.


From the Kingston &c. W. Journal, June 23
VIM. Dewall, farmer who lived about
three miles from Lake Hill, in the town of
Woodstock, was killed on Thursday last un-
der the most painful circumstances. He
had been ploughing corn in one of his fields,
in sight of his dwelling, during the fore
noon of that day, and when called to din
ner by his wife, unhitched his horse from
the plough, threw the traces over its back
and mounted it to ride to the house. Just
as be was passing brook that ran across
the way, one of the traces slipped down,
the chain end of it wound closely around his
ankle, and its hook caught in link His
horse was spirited animal and immediate
ly grew uumanageable; first il threw him
from its back and then started off at full
speed, drawing him along on the ground
After it ran to the barn and around it sew
eral times, Mrs. Dewall saw the dreadful
condition of her husband and hastened to
his relief, but this only frightened the ami
NAL the more, and turning in another direc-
tion it jumped over wood pile, causing
a dreadful mutilation of Mr.. Dewalps body,
and then ran off for distance of two miles
before any one could stop it, The appear
ance of Mr.. Dewall's person was horrid in
the extreme. In the fight of the horse he
had been literally torn and crushed to pie
ces. His head was a mangled mass. Along
the way he had been dragged flesh and blood
wereseen. When taken up he was altogether
lifeless. The terrible affair created deep
gloom over the community in that section.
The occurrence of such an accident when
there was not the slightest cause for appre-
hension Of danger, and the awful manner of
Mr.. Dewal's death, made this an extraor-
dinariIy affective and impressive casualty.

The following capital letter was read in
Republican meeting in New York the
evening of June 9th:
Auburn, June 26, 1860.
GENTLEMEN Your letter addressed to
me at Washington, inviting me to meet the
Republican committees Of New York, on
my way homeward from the Capital aud
designating the 9th inst. for that purpose,
has Just found me at home here. Escaped
from Washington before the adjournment,
to fulfill some domestic engagements here,
which could not be delayed.
l rejoice in the indications of activity on
the part of the Republicans of New York
city, in the canvass which is opening under
most auspicious circumstances.
You will, 1 hope, be favored with the
visits of many of the Republican Represen-
tatives of this State and other States. For
myself I desire to be regarded as always
with you, and as one of yourselves. Ineed
a little time here to repair the wastes of
eighteen months absence from home; a lit
tie time to bring up arrears Of cores
pondence too generous and patriotic to be
neglected. l would fain hope that my ac-
tive efforts in the canvass might not be
necessary. But 1 hold myself bound by
obligations of public duty and of personal
gratitude to contribute all the exertion nee
essary on my part to the establishment of
the Republican party in the administration
of government, by the election of its chos-
en- and worthy candidates, Lincoln and
Hamlin, and those obligations l shall faith
fully fulfil. Very sincerely,
Your friend and ob't serv't,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

The Withdrawn OF Fitzpatrick.

The Constitution has the following re-
marks on this subject:
''The declination, by Senator Fitzpatrick,
ofthe Douglas Weep Presidential nomination
is terrible and damaging blow to the
squatters. They relied upon the high
character and reputation Of that distin-
guished gentleman to give an odor Of na-
tionality to their sectional ticket, and to help
it to some strengthen the democratic States.
The name of Fitzpatrick was, in fact, the
sheet anchor of the Douglasites in the
South, and when it was Withdrawn, their
hopes fell more than thousand per cent
Their presses pronounced his name a tow
er of strength. They justly eulogized him
as one of the noblest of Southern states
men. And, in truth, in spurning from him
their sectional and factional nomination, Mr..
Fitzpatrick has shorn the ticket upon which
his name was placed, of more than half its
strength, and left it without support in half
Of the Union
"The blow is aggravating to the Doug
lasites by the consideration that in nomi-
mating Senator Fitzpatrick they showed to
the world that they cared nothing for the
principle they pretend to be fighting for,
since Mr.. Fitzpatrick stands squarely on the
same platform with the Administration,
and only few weeks ago voted directly
against the squatter-sovereignty doctrines,
in favor of the Senate resolutions Of Sena-
tor Jefferson Davis. Let us hear nothing,
after this, from the Douglasites, of their de-
votion to what they call their principles =
They deliberately abandoned them when
they voted for Fitzpatrick, who was moth
ing in common with the squatter-sovereignty
dogma. Thus having abandoned the pre-
tence of devotion to principles other than
those embodied in the Breckenridge and
Lane platform, the Douglasites will lose the
strength at the North which they expected
on the ground of opposition to the Senate
resolutions; and by the declension of SEN
ator Fitzpatrick they lose all which they
expected to gain at the South through the
influence of his name. Mr. Fitzpatrick has in
fact fairly given the squatter sovereigntyites
the coup de grace. They have gone in
vain to the South for one of her popular
names 70 help them destroy the democrat
ic party

The Auburn IN. " advertiser makes
the following prediction in relation the re-
rult of the Presidential campaign:
Lincoln and Hamlin will carry every free
State with the exception of California, and
perhaps Oregon, and thus be elected by
the people.
Breckenridge and Lane will carry every
Slave State and perhaps Oregon.
Douglas and johnson may carry Califor-
MIA.
Bell and Everett will carry a score or
two of conservative old fogies and grannies
in each of the States.

Il is infinitely amusing to read the ac-
counts of the efforts making at various
points to get up demonstrations in favor of
the esp,etive Democratic tickets nominated
at Baltimore, lastweek. Of the effort made
at Louisville, Kentucky, the Journal says:
''It was immensely funny on Saturday
night to mark the rejoicings Of the Douglas
democrats over the nominations Of Douglas
and Fitzpatrick, and the rejoicings Of the
Anti-Douglas Democrats over the nomina-
ton Of Breckinridge and Lane. The two
factions, both knowing that they had no
chance 10 the world, tried which should
kindle the biggest boniires, which should
utter the noisiess shouts, and which should
shoot tho Eoisiest cannon. They remind
ed rs Of two bantam cocks trying to out
crow each other in the barnyard, or two RI
val dinner bells trying TO outring each 9th
or at an eatiDg station upon a railroad"

PrOfIisate Candidate for tho Presidency.

Stephen A. Douglas, one of the candi-
dates of the bogus democracy for the Pres
ideney, is not only bankrupt in politics and
character, but he is bankrupt in purse
The telegraph informed US few days ago
that his notes, to the amount of one hun
dred thousand dollars, sOsrs under protest
IN Nev York.
His enormous expenses in canyassing IL
linois in 1855 and 1858, and his extrava-
giant style Of living at Washington, in imi-
tation Of the Representatives of foreign
Courts, has brought him to the verge Of
bankruptcy.
A man who can not manage successfully
his own private business, is certainly unfit
to be entrusted with public position.

The Clermont Courier tells the follow
ing:
A stranger calling in at the store of a
leading Democrat, who, it is said, was the
only Douglas man in the place during the
pendency Of the Lecompton bill. As usual
the merchant broached the subject of poll
tics, when the stranger remarked: "Doug-
las has done more real good for the coun-
try than any other man since the days Of
Washington" ''Thats true, my honest
friend" said the Douglas man, as he graspcd
him warmly by the hand. "But wait a
moment;" said the stranger; "let me ex-
plain my meaning. Douglas has succeed
ed in breaking up and destroying the Dem
ocratic party, and that is great blessing
for our country" The Douglas man let 60

though he had received shock from a
