Tine FIRST PUBLIC READING OF THE
DECLARATIONS Declaration was writ

south west corner of Market and Seventh
streets. The house is still standing, and is
occupied by ats.iloF, who shows his patriotism
by calling his shop Tho Temple of Liberty

State House. on the lower floor. 1t appeared
in the next day paper (side by side with an
advertisement of negro child for sale who
had had measles and small pox), but was not
officially given to the people until MONDAY on
the 9Th of July, when it was read to q large
concourse of people in the State house yard
BY John Nixon, deputed to the task by the
Sheriff of Philadelphia, who had received it
from the committee. The stage on which the
reader stood was rough wooden platform on
the line of the eastern walk, about half way
between Fifth and Sixth streets. Deborah
Logan, who lived in the neighborhood, states
that She heard from the garden every word of
the instrument read, and though the voice

chimes Of Christ Oh ,rch rang through all the
bright summer day, and the old bell gave at
last to the world the message it had received
quarter of century before, and proclaim
ed liberty to all the world.
The daily papers-little thin sheets few
inches square-gave us for weeks afterward
accounts of the rejoicing and wild enthusiasm
of the other Provinces AZ the Declaration
reached them. In New York one singular
effect produced was that "a general Jail de-
livery of all prisoners took place, in pursuance
Of the Declaration OF Independence by the

SOMETHING NEw.-It is not hall
done vet. We mean this old, old
world Of ours, with its sixty centu-
ric.. Nor can we begin to look for
the end when Time shall be no more,
until wonders cease. When the
steamboat first Aoatcd upon the water,
people begun to think--surely this is
the climax, and the end is near. Then
not long afterward came the telegraph
aud people, by its use, talked around
the world in a twinkling. But the
end was not yet found. We have
now still another wonder. A man
has invented an attachment to electric
wires by which musical sounds are
transmitted, and a piano played
in New York can be heard in New
Orleans. More than that, by a
strange device, the sound of the hu-
man voice can be transmitted over a
1000 miles on the wires, and two per-
sons can converse with each other au-
dibly that distance apart. II, there
fore, in the mere Infancy" Of the in
vention, such results have been &c.
complished, might we not, as the Bos-
ton Traveller suggests, expect in due
course Of time, to 80 perfect the Won
drous machine as to enable an orator
in London to address an audience there
and at the same time be heard by an
audience in Boston, or, might not
Wagner with his music performed in
Paris, France, delight at the same
time a fashionable throng in New
York; Verify. The only drawback
would be the absence OF the speaker
or the performer from this side Of the
water, but then we could close our
eyes and draw upon the imagination
for the balance. Truly, the end is
not yet, and the powers of mans
God-given mind have not been fully
developed, if, indeed, there be a limit
to it where development might said to
have ceased, or reached its culmina
ting point

A FOREIGNER who reads the letters
ofacceptance, written by Hayes and
Wheeler, would, Of course, conclude
that the South is in a shameful and
almost illiterate condition. They are
lei to believe that the negro race there
Is fair sample Of the intelligence of
that whole section. The vassals and
serfs Of Europe are in a better condi-
ton than majority Of the Southern
ers, according to the views Of the two
aspirants for presidential honors on
the Radical ticket. They would have
the world believe that all the wisdom,
intelligence and patriotism of this
country centers in the North. Why
send missionaries to China, Japan,
Africa, and India, il we have so many
Goddess heathens within tive days ride
Of the North by rail or river in our
own country! Hayes and Wheeler
have never been through the South.
They formed their opinions from read
ing the letters Of carpet-baggers and
scallawags, and not from a reliable
and intelligent source. II is not true
that whole counties in Louisiana and
other Southern States are without a
single school house. as Wheeler says in
his letter. The reading public who
take their cue from some other quarter
than Radical letter writers, will not be
deceived by such stuff.

SOMEBODY or nobody, writing from

SOMEBODY or nobody, writing from
somewhere or nowhere, to the Courier
Jourwai, made q violent assault upon
the Hon. N. J. Durham. Now, we
had not intended, in advance Of a
ssmination, to take sides for or against
any aspirant in our party, and our
readers will bear us witness that We
have abstained from doing so. But
when one Of the most prominent
aspirants for the honor is asssiled from
a masked battery, in advance Of the
Convention, and in a manner to give
aid and comfort to the willy enemy,
we feel in duty bound to resent It,
and denounce the attack as adirect
thrust at our party over Judge Dur
hams shoulders. The tone and tenn
per Of the whole anonymous letter are
calculated to injure our prospects of
success in the race, it matters not who
may be our standard bearer. The
writer certainly has personal spite
against Mr.. Durham. else he would
not have gone to the expense of TWEEN
ty.fve or thirty dollars in order to see
his spiteful communication in print.
The sly bid made by the unknown dis.
.afiected individual, for popular ap.
,plause and approval, by singing out
and naming at least one man in each
county Of the district, for Congress,
any one of whom, acc; riding to the
writer, would make better repre-
sentative than Mr.. Durham will -ot
end such a bait grabbed at with the
voracity of Jack-fsh. Its transpar.
eucy is visible to a blind man even.
We have nothing to say against Mr..
Hardin in this connection, or any of
the half dozen gentlemen nared in
the communication aforesaid, but we
do say that such thrusts as it gave
are not calculated to injure Mr.. Dur
ham half so much as they tend to in
cure the Democratic party in this the
Sth district. Such talk as that might
be endured IN a party convention,
within our own Democratic household,
but to lay it before the world is but to
give the enemy a club with which
they may cudgel us to their hearts
content and aid in battering down our
strongholds.

lately, which prohibits the sending Of

might induce the people to part with

will be saved from the wiles Of the

people are supposed, by Hayes and

publicans about Proctor Knots with
holding the famous Caldwell dispatch,
and he has been roundly abused for it.

whole committee, including Mr.. Frye
and Mr.. Lawrence, Republicans, which
fully exhonerates Mr.. Knott, and they
say he did precisely right in holding
it back until he could ascertain wheth
err or not it was genuine. Thus ex-
plodes another Radical bubble. and its
contents float out into thin air.
