PENNSYLVANIA AND TH NOTRHWEST The Pennsylvania and nort western papers come tous laden with the mest cheering accounts for the democratic cause. The people of the States northwest of the Ohio, formed out of the . generous bequest of Virginia, with generous . hearts seem determined to remember the noble conduct of ‘Old Dominion,’ and to stand by her in the struggle for equal rights. For that is now the true issue, the equal rights of the States of the Union. They kivw no contest between the North and the South, but standing close by the constitution, the Union, and that great first principle which lies at the foundation of both, . State equality, they are resolved to rebuke the . spirit of fanaticism which would outrage them all. WESTERN PENXSYLVANIA. A great democratic gathering was held at Pittsburg on the 10th of last month. The Pittsburg Union, of the 11th, says: “Our great mass convention in this city came off yesterday, and we cannot attempt to describe . amid the din, dust, and confusion still around . us, the numbers and enthusiastic feelings of the thousands that were in attendance. At a very . moderate estimate, we set it down that there . ; were not less than twenty thousand people on _ the convention ground. The heat of the day and the clouds of dust flying having rendered it uncomfortable to march in procession, the great proportion of the people procceded to the . grounds by the cars, carriages, omnibuses, and . private conveyances, but, notwithstanding all . this, the procession was grand and imposing. PENNSYLVANIA WILL DO HER DUTY. . Before the election in Maine was held, an in. telligent citizen of Philadelphia wrote as follows . to the editor of the Portland Argus: “We expect to lose Maine. I doubt if you . . appreciate sufficiently there ths one terrible . truth that the election of Fremont is, per se, the dis, solution of the Union. It would not merely en. danger the Union and leave it doubtful, but this . question is now as distinctly before the people In order to elect Fremont, he inust receive 149 northern electoral votes. In that event the outsectional convention at Philadelphia will have . been confirmed by the northern people, anda ‘accomplished. The rest would speedily follow. But, thanks to the steady character of the peo. I firmly believe, to ward off the danger. Fre. movt is comparatively so weak that no attempt lelectoral ticket here. The Americans have . formed a Fillmore ticket, and the black repub. with them; but the attempt, I venture to say, will prove vain. But whether they unite or .

The States were represented by young votion of the people of Ohio to the Union of these States.

CENTRAL CoMMITTER.”’ THE CANVASS IN MICHIGAN—THE STATE SAFE FOR BUCK AND BRECK. The great democratic mass meetings recently . held at Kalamazoo and Pontiac—in point of numbers and enthusiasm without a parallel in the history of the State—must satisfy every candid mind as to the real state of public feeling in Michigan. We are indebted to a corressubjoined interesting account of these remarka“The great democratic meeting at Kalamazoo ceeded in number the anticipation of the most sanguine. The Kalamazoo meeting numbered counties of the State.— by Messrs. Breckinridge the western Speeches were made son from New York, Bright from Indiana, Cass, McClelland (Secretary of Interior,) Feleh, Lathrop, Stewart, and others of our own State.— Breckinridge, Preston, 000. Both meetings were characterized throughout with the greatest enthusiasm. At Pontiac becue, which is a new feature in meetings in this section. At both places Mr. Breckinridge was most tremendous cheers from more than 20,000 stout democratic lungs, which were echoed, and will be re-echoed, over the shall send back the glad sounds that Kentucky’s gallant son fills the second place in the gift of “T must notice one incident of the Pontiac ladies dressed in white, each bearing a banner with the name of a particular State upon it. In this groupe Kansas was not forgotten, but she also had her representative in the person of a beautiful young girl, not robed in black, as the black republicans would have done, but in garments of spotless white, and a garland of flowers upon her head. [It is needless to say that the young Kansas was greeted with loud and continued shouts, while the roar of cannon welcomed her to the confederacy of States untrammeled by the provisos of sectional fanatics. THE CANVASS IN ILLINOIS,—COLONEL. RICHARDSON IN THE FIELD. At the grand democratic mass meeting at Rock Island on the 6th, there were upwards of seven thousand democrats present, notwithstanding a severe rain storm prevailed at the time, Both Judge Douglas and Col. Richardson addresed the meeting with great power and effect. The armed mob of organized negroes, who boast that . they will sack the city and murder the white . population. The Star and Herald of October ist, says + “We hoped that the legal election of Sr. Bartolome Calvo, would have ended the state of suspense in which the city has been kept. In . this we have been disappointed. When the hour of meeting of the Legisiature arrived yesterday, (19,) the members who had absconded from the House for four days, and whose places had been refilled after so much delay, presented themselves and took possession of their seats and among them was the Vice President, Urrutia Anino, who had the hardihood to seat him. self in the presidential chair. This step led to a violent discussion in the . House, which resulted in the, drawing of weap. ons and the wounding of one of the members. . The Assembly was broken up, open violence . was threatened by the Diaz faction, the police, national guard and a large body of volunteers . were called out, and the negroes were dispersed. The boats from the Independence and St. Marys were prepared, and lay off the town all . the afternoon in expectation of an attack upon their countrymen, and the greatest excitement . prevailed throughout the city. Up to the hour of going to press however, no . encounter took place, although one is momenta. rily expected. Commodore Mervine has, with the cousent of . the Governor, placed a guardof Marines on } shore to protect American interests, and will be . compelled to keep them here until these troub. les are settled. The populace outside the walls are no more . subdued now than they were before the arrest . of their political leaders—they still have their . erae—they still have those men amonst them . who, when the opportunity serves, will rouse . their courage, and still worse, those fiend. ish and brutal passions which always have char. acterised a rising of the negro race. To add to the uneasiness of the Americans at . Panama, it is rutiored that the United States . vessels will soon be called away, to attend to . affairs on the Mexican coast. . A Hixt to Caurcu SLEEPERS.—At the ortho. dox church in Westminster, Mass., on a recent Sunday, the clergyman, an aged minister, was preaching from the text—“I speak as unto wise . men; understand ye what I say.’? He advanced as far as “‘thirdly,’’ when he observed that many of his hearers, overcome by the heat of the day, had fallen asleep. Stopping his discourse, and . wiping the perspiration from bis furrowed brow, . he exclaimed, ‘My friends, as the day is sultry . and oppressive, I will stop awhile, and request the choir in the meantime to sing the tune ‘Coronation,’ commencing. ‘My drowsy powers why sleep ye so?’’’ The effect of this innovation, as may be supposed, was to completely destroy any disposition to sleep which might have prevailed among the congregation. The hymn concluded, the minister resumed his discourse. Jews IN THE AvsTRIAN Army.—According to the Allgemeine Zeitung, there are 12,000 Jews in the Austrian army, of whom more than 600 are officers, surgeovs with the rank of officers, and members of the auditing department. A great . mouth to administer remedies. of War recognizes the good effect of the decrees of the 16th of October, by which an annual prize of $20,000 was allotted, for five years, to the best cotton-grower in the Franco-African coloBy and for three years, commencing with 1854, the whole cotton produce of Algeria was ordered to be purchased by the State, at a fixed price beforehand, and advantageous to the producer. In consequence of this encouragement, the growth of cotton has increased, and it has been proved not only that the plant flourishes in many districts of the colony, but that ite quality is comparable to that of the finest produce of the United States. A prolongation of the advantages assured to the producer is suggested, and it has accordingly been decreed that the Government will continue to purchase the whole of the Algerine cotton until the crop of 1858 inclusively. It may not be uninteresting to our manufacturers to watch the progress of this fresh field, which, judiciously nurtured by the French Government, may, perhaps, ere many years have passed, compete for their custom with the vast cotton grounds of the States. It is yet too soon to risk a prediction as to what Algeria may do in this way; but present appearances are favorable, and doubtless France will neglect no means of converting into a profitable colony a territory which has hitherto served but as an expensive training ground for her soldiers.—London Times. CuoLorororm IN Porsontna.—The Rochester Democrat, of Sept. 15th, records a case of accidental poisoning from strychnine in which choloroform was successfully applied to relieve the terrible spasms of the patient. The person took four grains of strychnine in mistake for another powder. As soon as the mistake was discovered, an emetic was given. Two large emetics taken in quick succession, failed to produce vomiting. The patient was convulsed with the severest forms of tetanic spasms. His jaws were firmly locked, and it was impessible to open his The approach towards his mouth caused a recurrence of the spasms. Choloroform was applied, which relieved the spasms in about three minutes, and stopped them completely in teu minutes, when a third powerful emetic was given. If the choloroform application was remitted, the spasms instantly returned in full force, so that it was found necessary to keep the patient constantly under the influence of the wnesthetic. In about ten minutes after the third emetic was taken, vomiting was produced. The patient was kept under the influence of cholo oform till the next morning. During the time .hat the spasmodic action was controlled by tbe choloroform, the system had opportunity to throw off the poison that had been taken up by the absorbents, and when that was effected, the patient was out of danger. He had retained his cousciousnes during the whole of the period that he suffered from the effects of the poison. Arrest or Two Rospers.—The Mariposa Gazette says: “Last Sunday’s stage brought Mr. A. F. Noles, Constable from Sonora, having in his charge John Riley, alias Jack Cowan, alias Texas Jack, alias Jack Price and Robert Poor.— They were arrested in Sonora, on a charge of assault with deadly: weapons, They are also eharged with robbing a Chinaman near Ridley’s { Ferry, on the Merced river, and have been lodged in our jail to await their trial for the above offence.” portion of the remainder are subalterns, many of them owing their positions mainly to the fact that they ean read and write German, an aceomplishment not very common in the Austrian army, which is necessarily composed of various nationalities. J. G. Husers Sanpers—The Courts of San Francisco are proceeding with the legal business of this alledged swindler, upon the presumption . that his reported death at sea is true.

PENNSYLVANIA AND TH NOTRHWEST The Pennsylvania and nort western papers come tous laden with the mest cheering accounts for the democratic cause. The people of the States northwest of the Ohio, formed out of the . generous bequest of Virginia, with generous . hearts seem determined to remember the noble conduct of ‘Old Dominion,’ and to stand by her in the struggle for equal rights. For that is now the true issue, the equal rights of the States of the Union. They kivw no contest between the North and the South, but standing close by the constitution, the Union, and that great first

principle which lies at the foundation of both, . State equality, they are resolved to rebuke the . spirit of fanaticism which would outrage them all. WESTERN PENXSYLVANIA. A great democratic gathering was held at Pittsburg on the 10th of last month. The Pittsburg Union, of the 11th, says: “Our great mass convention in this city came off yesterday, and we cannot attempt to describe . amid the din, dust, and confusion still around . us, the numbers and enthusiastic feelings of the thousands that were in attendance.. At a very . moderate estimate, we set it down that there . ; were not less than twenty thousand people on _ the convention ground. The heat of the day and the clouds of dust flying having rendered it uncomfortable to march in procession, the great proportion of the people procceded to the . grounds by the cars, carriages, omnibuses, and . private conveyances, but, notwithstanding all . this, the procession was grand and imposing. PENNSYLVANIA WILL DO HER DUTY. . Before the election in Maine was held, an in. telligent citizen of Philadelphia wrote as follows . to the editor of the Portland Argus: “We expect to lose Maine. I doubt if you . . appreciate sufficiently there ths one terrible . truth that the election of Fremont is, per se, the dis, solution of the Union. It would not merely en. danger the Union and leave it doubtful, but this . question is now as distinctly before the people In order to elect Fremont, he inust receive 149 northern electoral votes. In that event the outsectional convention at Philadelphia will have . been confirmed by the northern people, anda ‘accomplished. The rest would speedily follow. But, thanks to the steady character of the peo. I firmly believe, to ward off the danger. Fre. movt is comparatively so weak that no attempt lelectoral ticket here.

The great democratic mass meetings recently . held at Kalamazoo and Pontiac—in point of numbers and enthusiasm without a parallel in the history of the State—must satisfy every candid mind as to the real state of public feeling in Michigan. We are indebted to a corressubjoined interesting account of these remarka“The great democratic meeting at Kalamazoo ceeded in number the anticipation of the most sanguine. The Kalamazoo meeting numbered counties of the State.— by Messrs.

In this groupe Kansas was not forgotten, but she also had her representative in the person of a beautiful young girl, not robed in black, as the black republicans would have done, but in garments of spotless white, and a garland of flowers upon her head. [It is needless to say that the young Kansas was greeted with loud and continued shouts, while the roar of cannon welcomed her to the confederacy of States untrammeled by the provisos of sectional fanatics. THE CANVASS IN ILLINOIS,—COLONEL. RICHARDSON IN THE FIELD. At the grand democratic mass meeting at Rock Island on the 6th, there were upwards of seven thousand democrats present, notwithstanding a severe rain storm prevailed at the time, Both Judge Douglas and Col. Richardson addresed the meeting with great power and effect. The armed mob of organized negroes, who boast that . they will sack the city and murder the white . population. The Star and Herald of October ist, says + “We hoped that the legal election of Sr. Bartolome Calvo, would have ended the state of suspense in which the city has been kept. In . this we have been disappointed. When the hour of meeting of the Legisiature arrived yesterday, (19,) the members who had absconded from the House for four days, and whose places had been refilled after so much delay, presented themselves and took possession of their seats and among them was the Vice President, Urrutia Anino, who had the hardihood to seat him. self in the presidential chair. This step led to a violent discussion in the . House, which resulted in the, drawing of weap. ons and the wounding of one of the members. . The Assembly was broken up, open violence . was threatened by the Diaz faction, the police, national guard and a large body of volunteers . were called out, and the negroes were dispersed. The boats from the Independence and St. Marys were prepared, and lay off the town all . the afternoon in expectation of an attack upon their countrymen, and the greatest excitement . prevailed throughout the city. Up to the hour of going to press however, no . encounter took place, although one is momenta. rily expected. Commodore Mervine has, with the cousent of . the Governor, placed a guardof Marines on } shore to protect American interests, and will be . compelled to keep them here until these troub. les are settled. The populace outside the walls are no more . subdued now than they were before the arrest . of their political leaders—they still have their . erae—they still have those men amonst them . who, when the opportunity serves, will rouse . their courage, and still worse, those fiend. ish and brutal passions which always have char. acterised a rising of the negro race. To add to the uneasiness of the Americans at . Panama, it is rutiored that the United States . vessels will soon be called away, to attend to . affairs on the Mexican coast. . A Hixt to Caurcu SLEEPERS.—At the ortho. dox church in Westminster, Mass., on a recent Sunday, the clergyman, an aged minister, was preaching from the text—“I speak as unto wise . men; understand ye what I say.’? He advanced as far as “‘thirdly,’’ when he observed that many of his hearers, overcome by the heat of the day, had fallen asleep. Stopping his discourse, and . wiping the perspiration from bis furrowed brow, . he exclaimed, ‘My friends, as the day is sultry . and oppressive, I will stop awhile, and request the choir in the meantime to sing the tune ‘Coronation,’ commencing. ‘My drowsy powers why sleep ye so?’’’ The effect of this innovation, as may be supposed, was to completely destroy any disposition to sleep which might have prevailed among the congregation. The hymn concluded, the minister resumed his discourse. Jews IN THE AvsTRIAN Army.—According to the Allgemeine Zeitung, there are 12,000 Jews in the Austrian army, of whom more than 600 are officers, surgeovs with the rank of officers, and members of the auditing department. A great . mouth to administer remedies. of War recognizes the good effect of the decrees of the 16th of October, by which an annual prize of $20,000 was allotted, for five years, to the best cotton-grower in the Franco-African coloBy and for three years, commencing with 1854, the whole cotton produce of Algeria was ordered to be purchased by the State, at a fixed price beforehand, and advantageous to the producer. In consequence of this encouragement, the growth of cotton has increased, and it has been proved not only that the plant flourishes in many districts of the colony, but that ite quality is comparable to that of the finest produce of the United States. A prolongation of the advantages assured to the producer is suggested, and it has accordingly been decreed that the Government will continue to purchase the whole of the Algerine cotton until the crop of 1858 inclusively. It may not be uninteresting to our manufacturers to watch the progress of this fresh field, which, judiciously nurtured by the French Government, may, perhaps, ere many years have passed, compete for their custom with the vast cotton grounds of the States. It is yet too soon to risk a prediction as to what Algeria may do in this way; but present appearances are favorable, and doubtless France will neglect no means of converting into a profitable colony a territory which has hitherto served but as an expensive training ground for her soldiers.—London Times. CuoLorororm IN Porsontna.—The Rochester Democrat, of Sept. 15th, records a case of accidental poisoning from strychnine in which choloroform was successfully applied to relieve the terrible spasms of the patient. The person took four grains of strychnine in mistake for another powder. As soon as the mistake was discovered, an emetic was given. Two large emetics taken in quick succession, failed to produce vomiting. The patient was convulsed with the severest forms of tetanic spasms. His jaws were firmly locked, and it was impessible to open his The approach towards his mouth caused a recurrence of the spasms. Choloroform was applied, which relieved the spasms in about three minutes, and stopped them completely in teu minutes, when a third powerful emetic was given. If the choloroform application was remitted, the spasms instantly returned in full force, so that it was found necessary to keep the patient constantly under the influence of the wnesthetic. In about ten minutes after the third emetic was taken, vomiting was produced. The patient was kept under the influence of cholo oform till the next morning. During the time .hat the spasmodic action was controlled by tbe choloroform, the system had opportunity to throw off the poison that had been taken up by the absorbents, and when that was effected, the patient was out of danger. He had retained his cousciousnes during the whole of the period that he suffered from the effects of the poison. Arrest or Two Rospers.—The Mariposa Gazette says: “Last Sunday’s stage brought Mr. A. F. Noles, Constable from Sonora, having in his charge John Riley, alias Jack Cowan, alias Texas Jack, alias Jack Price and Robert Poor.— They were arrested in Sonora, on a charge of assault with deadly: weapons, They are also eharged with robbing a Chinaman near Ridley’s { Ferry, on the Merced river, and have been lodged in our jail to await their trial for the above offence.” portion of the remainder are subalterns, many of them owing their positions mainly to the fact that they ean read and write German, an aceomplishment not very common in the Austrian army, which is necessarily composed of various nationalities. J. G. Husers Sanpers—The Courts of San Francisco are proceeding with the legal business of this alledged swindler, upon the presumption . that his reported death at sea is true.
