The Republican party was beaten IN
Pennsylvania, at the last Presidential
election, ONE HusDRRD AND sIxrY-FIvE
THOUSAND voTEs, by Buchanan and FIJI
more, and ErcnTY-Two THOUSAND votes
by Buchanan alone. Who will say,
that tho nominee Of the Chicago con-
vcn,ion will be any stronger in Penn
.ylyania than was Fremont! Then we
would ask, is not the editor of the Du-
buque Times whstlng to keep his
courage up" when he feigns to enter
tain the scin,iiIstion Of hope, that the
Keystone will cast her vote for an Abo-
li,ion Republican candidate tor the Pres
dcncy? Pennsylvania being out Of the
question, the Times, with deep draw n
sigh, acknowledges that "mo other com
bination can g,ce us the election. -
"Alas. poor Yorick," But even II
such a combination could be made, where
is the materiall Let us examine.
In New Jersey, as in Pennsylvania
there is no Republican party. 1t is true
the "Opposition /" in New Jersey have
been invited to the " entertainment Al
Chic.eo. They, as well as the Peoples
Party in the oldKeystone, will send rep
resen,stiycs, but when these representa-
tiyes carry back to those they had rep
resented, the platform composed OF a
single plank. and that plank the mig
ger" the candidate standing upon 1t
will receive but a cool greeting from the
"Jerscy Blues"
The remaining States referred to by
the Times are Illinois, Indiana, Callfor-
MIA, Oregon and Minnesota. In neither
Of these, with the exception OF M'nneso-
ia, will Republicanism have show
Taking, then, fair and impartial SUR
vcy of the field upon which the coming
contest is to be fought, We apprehend
that any candid man, Republican Though
he be, will admit that there is no earth
ly prospect of electing the nominee OF
the Chicago convention. Our Republi-
can contemporary OF the Times has
placed the matter in as favorable q light
for hi. party as he possibly could. 1t
our neirhbor Of the Gazette can do any
better, we respectfully suggest to him,
that his disheartcned and detected party
would be extremely thankful for any
comfort he may have it in his power to
administer.

How the Presidents Message was Re
c0ived in MexlcO

Amidst the cordial responses of en-
lightened and patriotic communities in
our own country to the recommends
tons of the President concerning Mexi-
co, it is gratifying to hear the sounds OF
graduation that come from that dis
turbed and distracted land. The Mexi-
can people hail the propositions Of Mr..
Buchanan as the harbngers of peace
and prosperity.
\ correspondent Of the New Orleans
Picayune, writing from Vera Cruz,
bears emphatic testimony to the general
JOY that was produced by the tone OF
the Presidents Message
"Never in my long sojourn among the
Mexican people have | seen more cheer
ing faces than when the Geographic
despatch to the Picayu,.e, giving the
contents Of the Presidents Message re
lating to Mexican affairs, was intercept
ed and made ineligible to them. All,
and without exception, exclaimed, Bet
ter times are coming" 'Los Anaerica-
nos uinen.' Thank God, our deliver
encc IS near 'Pcaco and tranquility
will be restored" Such are the ex-
presslons from the highest to tho low
est"

Does 1t ever rain In EKygt.

Sir Archibald Allison, in his history Of
Europe, writes as follows:
at never rains in Egypt; centuries
may elapsc without more than shower
Of drizzlipg mist moistcning the surface
Of the soil. 1t il said that it has not
rained in Egypt for 100 years.
A correspondent Of the London Times
writes from Alexandria, Oct. 3lst, 1860,
as follows "Englishmcn express their
aston'sbment at the heavy rains VIC have
lately experienced, having come with
the erroneous impression that it never
rains in Egypt" Upon this, it is asked
whether the rain which il referred to by
the above correspondent il the FIR,
which has appeared 10 Egypt for 1900
| years.

The telegraphic news Of Saturday
gives another evidence Of the character.
istic insinccrity of the Republican lead.
crs. For weeks past, the country has
been assured by the press and by speak
ers on the floor Of the House, that tho
Republicans desired the organization OF
the House, and that their unyielding sup
portof Sherman was not from any factious
spirit. On Friday last, SMITH Of North
Carolina. an Old Line Wing, received
the Democratic vote, and the votes of
certain Republican members, and was
elected Speaker, had not the Republi-
cans "backed water," by withdrawing
theirvotes from him before the ballot was
announced. Here We have proof undc-
nlable, that the Republicans do not de-
sire the organization Of the House, and
are really the responsible party tor all
the delay and injury which has resulted
from their fanatical and sectional yiews
.'Rule or ruin" is the watchword Of All
olitionized- Rcpublicanisn. 1t must be
met and overthrown by the strong arm
of the National Democracy.
At the time of writing this article
wo have not received the dispatch in.
forming us Of Mondays proceedings
We hope it will give Us the cheering
news Of the selection Of q Demo
crat, or one who, although outside tho
Democratic organization, cntcftain'
opinions hostile to the Abolition sent'
ment, which controls Republicanis,n.-
Next to Democrat, an Old Line Wing
would be acceptable. Anything but al

Sensible Resolves.

Among the resolutions passed at the
Union Meeting in our twin city, We lind
the following:
4th. That the fugitive slave law, the law
against the slave trade, and all other con't'tu'
tional acts Of Congress, however obnoxious to
particular sections of the country, are obliga-
tory upon all citizens, and ought TO be executed
fully and in good faith
5th. That all the officers of the government,
duly chosen and qualified, are entitled to the
prompt and cheerful support of all citizens, in
the exercise Of their lawful power and author
ity.
9Th That all threats or attempts to evade
or otstruct the execution Of said laws, or to re-
sist the authority of such officers, are alike un-
patriotic, revolutionary and reasonable.
7th. That the several States have the un.
doubted right to form and regulate their do.
nestle Institutions, (including negro slavery in
their own way, and We deprecate and condemn
all outside interference Herewith. whether by
hostile invasion by incendiary publication. by
evasion or violation Of their police regulations
or in any other manner.
1t affords us much pleasure to find
that our Republican contemporary of the
Rock Island Register approves these
sensible and patriotic resolves. The Re
publican papers of Illinois have become
so thoroughly Abolitionized, that it Ii
decidedly refreshing to meet with one that
expresses, even indirectly, condemnation
of the managers of the Underground
Railroad. Friend PICKET may look out
for the reprimands of his Republican
brethren, for his manly avowal. The
Gazette Of. Saturday does not speak Of
the Union Meeting as does the Register.
The editors of these papers are men Of
different stamp. Picket might be made
a pretty good Democrat-Sanlers ncv-
err would, nor is it desirable that he
should.

Duke of Wellington.

The Dukes bell sounded very violently,
and when the servant entered, he was seen
standing beside the table.
"What have you done with the book l
was reading last night? | laid ii there, just
there" striking the table with his hand
"and you have taken it away. What
have you done with il?"
81 never saw it, your grace; l nevel
touched it,"
"But you must have seen it, and you
did touch il. Where is it?"
And then he would 60 into a towering
passion, and walk up and down the room
blaming erybody till the servant retired
BY and by he would recollect that he bad
taken it into another room. and left il
there, upon which he would ring the bel
again, and on the servant showing him
self he would ask some ordinary question
The answer being given, he would reply
in tone OF marked kindness:
"Thank you. | am much obliged 10
you"
The valet perfectly understood that
this was as much as if he had said: 81
have done you wrong, pray forgive me. >
His theory was. that the governing
power must never confess Limsel! in the
wrong; so he took this way OF smoothing
the feelings of his domesiics.
