The Electoral Letter of j. H. Pcndl,


TllV organ having opened the campaign
with its peurile Pcans, and by donouncing
those whom it, but short time. before,
called brethren, we now have IL prayer
for harmony from one of its supporters
and ahettors, who apparently wears the
official robes of authority. Methinks u
prayer for harmony, from the lips of those
who have but partially ceased thcir suici-
dal and scnscless chickering's and dcunca-
tiOns, can be listened to at least with an
ear of suspicion.
We would hardly suppose that the
Douglas meeting of $50, half opposition
could have had any influence i'll changing
the tonc of the organ, from the ignornntly
calling forth sOphistical; and one sided
manifesto from our now unauthorized
elector, (Speaking irOnicutiy.)
In the first place, was it proper for one
who was the elector OF Nn undivided party,
rs clector, to take sides, in such public
and Objectionable manner, with the ac-
knowledged minority of n diCided party;
knowing, too, that we were soon to meet
together in an authorized convention, to
repair the breach, aud reconcile our differ
ences If possible. But if he has acted
properly and in good faith, are the argu-
ments he advances valid ones, or is the
position he takes tenable? The only urgu-
ment our elector seems to rely much upon,
is that of principle-seCeder territorial
principle-and clings to this with blind
tennci'y, ignoring the fact that there are
other principles involved in this unfortu-
nate division, equally patent and worthy
at least Of kind of passing notice.
But granting to his argument all the
force and power he claims for it, could we
ever harmonizc upon the conclusion he
draws, and that alone? Yet, as if seeing
the tallacy of his own argument, he virtu-
ally ubandons his position, and, i'll fact,
overthrows that which he has been en-
deavoring to erect. Before closing his
argument upon it he asserts: That the
principle is of no immediate practical inn
portNnce, and regrets that it was deemed
| necessary to introduce it. Now, can hc
with any show ofreasou, ask sensible men
to unite, after what has occurred, and
without any further consideration upon a
principle which he deems of no practical
importance, and regrets was thought even
worthy ofnotice? This assertion and posi-
ton, offered by himself, think, is u suffi-
cient answer to this entire argument, upon
what he calls principle.
But he very carefully avoids the real
questions ut issue, or passes over them
lightly, indeed, very lightly. He holds
that "it is unnecessary to discuss the pro-
priety or impropriety of the action ut Ball
J timore," ttlaFs cool.) Indeed. unnecessary

Tar ASs,rIr on THE REGENT or JANA
good deal of mystery still hangs over the at
tempted assassination OF the Go.tairo, or Re-
gent, Of Japan. We give to- day the details Of
the attack, as furnished by the English repre-
sentative in Japan, which leave no doub, Of the
fact that a desperate attempt was made by
seventeen armed men on the life Of the
Regent. but with what motive Il l. hard to
say. One theory is that 1t was the result
OF feud between the faction Of the Regent
and that Of the Prince Mito. whose houses
like the Capulets aud Montagues-are at
deadly enmity. Another Is. that the attack Is
but the commencement OF a civil war for the
succession Of Tycoon; while. on the other hand.
the government believe or affect TO believe
that the outrage was committed by a few
"loonings," or disbanded soldiers and ruillans
However. the state of alarm and preparation
for defence exhibited in Jeddo would lead ne
TO infer that there was something more In
this attack than the lawlessness Of band Of
rufians. II appears that new gates and draw
bridges have been erected 10 the city since that
event occurred, aud that precautionary mea-
sures have been recommended TO the foreign re-
personalities by the japanese government.
If this alarm is not feigned for some Interior
motive, IT is quite probable that the attempted
assassination may wear political complexion
after all.

HoS. Su.As SErMouR's VIEWS OF THE EEc-
TroS.-IIon. Silas Seymour, late State En-
gineer, and prominent man among the Know
Nothings, comes out bravely for Douglas. He
goes 80 far as to express the hope and the be-
lief that the American people "will elevate
him (Mr. Douglas) to the highest Office in their
gif,.r Perhaps Mr. Seymour means the next
time but to succeed the next time the
friends Of Mr.. Douglas must be content
this time to defeat Lincoln, If they can. 1t
is perfectly absurd to talk Of the election, this
time, Of Douglas, Breckenridge or Bell, by the
people. All they can do is to defeat Lincoln
by carrying the election into Congress; and TO
do this oil the parties opposed to Lincoln must
play into each Others hands. Mr. Seymour
talks sheer nonsense when he talks Of elccting
Mr.. Douglas by the popular vote. He will be
doing very well II he will turn over the North
erDbalance Of power against Lincoln, and this
bis friends can only do by cooperation with
the friends Of Breckenridge and Bell. If Mr..
Silas Seymour cannot comprehend this fact, he
Is an ignoramus in politics who ought to keep
quiet; If he does comprehend it, he should
speak accordingly. The mere clap-trap of
confidence and enthusiasm, without anything to

bling justice of her due in some shape or other.
Before the passing of this law it was next to
impossible to bring the criminal to the gallows.
Hereafter we do not expect another man will
be hung in this State, unless that stupid enact
ment should be wiped from the statute book.
The sympathy with criminals in our Legislature
is very remarkable. It springs from the fact
that SO many of the members owe their seats to
this class of men, and that some of them are cri-
mipals themselves, who ought to be in the State
prison, If not swinging from the same gibbet as

PHILADELPHIA MANNERS AT THE RACE
CorRsE.-Smaii village communities are not
often remarkable for their regard for the
decencies and recognized conventionaiities
Of life. They are very apt to become some
what boorish and vulgar. Our neighbors
Of Philadelphia are a striking example Of this
truth. Whenever they get chance Of display
ing their innate vulgarity and coarsencss, they
never fail to do So Witness the reception of
the japanese, when these refined Orientals
were subject to the grossest indgnities in the
very streets Of the Quaker City. Another in
stance of il occurred the other day on the Suf-
folk rad hrse, where the sporting characters
and gentlemen of Philadelphia showed their
estimate of the rules which govern the affairs of
"the turf" and gentlemen everywhere. Seeing
that one Of the racers, against whom they had
probably staked few dollars, more or less,
was making a strenuous effort to pass his CON-
peti,or, these Philadelphia bloods pitched their
hats and caps at his head, and effectually
scared and baked the animal. They were
thus enabled to pocket the stakes; but the race
course where such an outrage was tolerated,
and the city which nurtured such gentlemen,
will hardly derive much lustre from the oc-
currence.
The conduct of these Philadelphians was
only paralleled by that OF the English sporting
men at the great Sayes and Heenan battle.
We do not know which was the more disgrace
full scene; but this Philadelphia affair, coming
right on the heels Of the outrage to the Japan
csc, fixes upon the right-angled city an oppro-
brium which II will require some years Of
future good conduct to wipe out Why will

these villagers make us blush for their vuigari-
ty! We hope they will strive to mend their
manners little, if they expect to see the
Prince Of Wales, or any other distinguished
foreigner, trust himself in their midst If they
go on in the way in which they have been act
ing for some time they must certainly be
