times?advertisements audi all?from
Perry's nomination to John~Enright's
Agency, and the history of Lorenzo
Dow and his writings, and his wife
Peggy, and I don't believe lever read
so much foolishness in my life before,
as in Dorenzo Dow's works. But
it may bo I am the fool, for the
publisher says he has sold twenty-four
thousand copies to 1854 when the
edition I now read was published.
The publisher says who has not
heard of Lorenzo Dow ? who that
has heard of him has not felt an anx
lety to .see and.near.Iiim. sp.qak I
doubt about that; mail is curious and
likes to see straDge sights. A boy
will give his only half dollar to see ,a
monkey-show, and a woman, will
walk twenty miles to see a man hang
ed. I am not surprised at any of
these things, but I am astonished at
seven hundred pages of such stuff as
"some nights I sleep sound and some
nights I didn't." A little further on
he speaks of putting himself to death,

THE LETTER OP EX-GOVERNOR
" CURTIN. ' ;.
I . I.; i ; j J . J t?r
Ex-Gov. Curtin, of Pennsylvania,
in his letter announcing his support
of fion. Charles R. Buckalew, Demori
cfatid nominee for Governor, against
Hartraoft, the nominee of the Ropub-j
lican party of that State, while non
committal on .the-Presidential ques-'
tion, is sharp and severe, upon the
subject of corruption in politics, espe
cially in Pennsylvania. Ho says:
"The bad rule that lias wholly com
passed the channels/of political ad
ministrative authority in Pennsylva
nia is not of recent creation. It was
the tireless but impotent power that
embarrassed the action of the govern-,
ment, State and National,' tltiring 'the
dark days -of civil-war, and::steadily,
struggled to gather- advancement
and gain from the bitter-.sorrows of
the people.
Six years ago it attained control in
our State. How it was achieved is
remembered with humiliation b}' all.
,YVhy it was sought and won .oiur sub
sequent history painfully demon
strates.
The Eepublican organization," has
mortn ifa noma illnafIn mnlnfnin.
UJUUV
ing the unity of the States arid' re^
deeming a continent to freedom.... It
was seized in contempt of the will of
the people, and its victories perverted
to liconsed wrong.
I need not recite how, under an
honored name and flag, it has cieated
widespread, indeed, almost universal
distrust of authority, and made honost
men despair of integrityin legislation,
in elections, in conferring legislative
honors, and even in the administration
of public justice.
These terrible and steadily growing
events in our political rule have made
the people demand the right to resume
their*1 sovereignty, to make ne'w safe
guards for themselves, but if the pro
posed convention is to effect thorough
reform, it must be aided, not hindered,
by the vast power of the Executive
and - other important State officials.
If Mr. Buckalew shall bo defeated arid
a new.lease of authority thus conferred
upon the despotic control that has
long misruled the commmonwealth, it
will be marvelous indeed if the con
vention chosen in the partisan strife
of a national contest c&n afford any
substantial relief or protection to the
people. If Pennsylvania is to be re
stored to purity, the Goverament in
all its departments, as well as the
convention, must harmonize fully and
earnestly in the work ol regenera
tion.
Mr. Buckalew's confessed integrity
and consistent devotion to rol'orm
during many years of official service,
gives the best possible guarantees of
honest administration and complete
restraints upon corrupt or rockless
authority, and his election seems to
^ ? J thw-r AtfAtir* /lAnoi/^Anaf iAn
Ut? UVLUUIIUCU U y CVOI J WUOlUVlHViV/i
of individual manhood and fidelity to
the honor and advancement of the
State. If, as it) claimed by desperate
leaders in Pennsylvania, to regenerate
our State in October will affect the
national contest, a cause thus to be
endangered muBt be wanting in the
most essential attributes of popular
confidence.
Actuated solely by a sense of duty
to a people whose dovotioo in time
past furbishes the most grateful mem
ories of my life, I shall vote iu October
for honest government in our com
menwealtb, and meet thd Presidential
issue, when it comes before the peoplo,
in accordance with my long-settled
convictions. I cannot afford to sacri
fice a great contest for constitutional,
legislative and administrative reform,
because a Presidential election is pen
ding. To yield the question would
give fresh victories for misrule, and
make the effort for just fundamental
restraints either measurably or wholly
abortive.
Don't Hurry Your Cotton.
Tne uoiumous (^a.j sun learns
that tne largest "warehouse firm in
that city has notified planters to
whom they made advances to cease
hurrying so much cotton to market.
The effect of this action on the
part of planters is to produce a
false impression regarding the crop,
as spinners in the North and Eu
rope look alone to receipts as the
basis of their estimates. Cotton
hSs been forwarded rapidly because
caterpillars and rust nave stripped
the leaves from the plant and left
the bolls exposed to the sun. The
great amount of cotton already sent
to market has locked up an im
mense amount of money, and hence
has depressed prices. This firm
believes that the lowest point in
price will be reached in thirty, or
at farthest in sixty days. At that
time, with receipts diminishing,
and the fact of a short crop becom
ing apparent,, quotations must again
go upwards, and the country profit
thereby. No hope is entertained
in any quarter of a late crop.
We give the conclusions of this
Columbus nrrn ior wmu tney may
be worth, siuiply remarking that
none of our farmers should hesi
tate to consult with the merchants
to whom they are indebted for gu
ano and supplies, and obtain the
benefit of their experience in the
cotton market before acting upon
the advice of others. It is the
highest duty of every one to deal
frankly and honestly in such mat
ters, and there should be a perfect
understanding between the mer
chant and farmer on the propriety
of following the advice of outsiders,
Bince their interests are mutually
dependent upon each other.?

POLITICS Bfj PENNSYLVANIA; [;"
It )Trvrrr.-. I
' .Yesterdaywe devoted nearly a
page ..'of the Herald to our special
correspondence from Pennsylvania.
That State is properly regarded as
the battle field or th0 political cam
paign. ' It has' beeh generally
looked ripori' in' the sarfce way at
every October -electionfor State
officers preceding the November
auadrennial Presidential election.
I And when the contest lias been a
close one, as in 185,6, when;Mr.
Buchanan was elected, the October
election in Pensylvania has fore;
shadowed the result in November.
The saying that "As goes Pennsyl
vania so gods the Union," has prov
ed to.be true in former' times, and,
while it might, not be so this year,
there ,is evidently;anI!impression
among politicians, .that, the, battle
must be fought there.. Each party,
as our correspondents, show, expjres
;ses itself confident of siiccess. f Of
course much of this pretended con
fidence is put on for the purpose Of
producing an effect. It'is whistling
to keep the courage up,:and to lead
off the floating vote,; whieh is- opt
to go with the winning side.. The;
position of ex-Gove,rnor Curtin fcas
changed a good deal the complexion
of affairs. Knowing that. he had
[great influence in the' State,' the
Grant party flattered him'and cher
| ished the hope that he Would' pro
[nounce in favor of its candidate,
and now that he has declared his
intention to oppose Hartranfl, .vre
are as muoh in ihe darlf as ever as
to whether he is for Grant pr Gree
ley for President. Whatever -may
be the result, we cannot but, com
mpnfl H-nr Hnrtin for hifl inVlerSen
deuce. He is, probably, loofeg
more to: the interests of his State
in supporting Buckalew for Gover
nor than to national politics, though
his action may have an important
bearing upon the Presidential elec
tion. It is a remarkable feature in
the political, campaign in Pennsyl
vania just now that the opposition,
or Buckalew party, says little of the
great national issue in November,
and confines itself chiefly to State
politics and issues. There is a good
deal of astuteness in this, for it is
well known that the October State
election will have on important
bearing upon the November Presi
dential election. It is a fierce con
test, and while the Democratic and
Liberal Republican coalition have
the vantage grout d, in many re
spects, the administration has great
power and resources. So important
isthis Pennsylvania October elec
tion regarded that;, the. friends of
General Grant do not hesitate to
say that they must and will elect
their candidate. All the available
means of Federal power and of. the
Treasury will be used, no dotibt,
and there will be more money spent,
probably, than ever before in a
State election.- The administration
has an immense advantage in this
. i rrn. _ r\ 1 Ki!
respect, me urueiej uouuuuu poa
tv, lacking sucli a vast amount of
the sinews of .war as the Grant
party possesses, will have no easy
task, even with a popular candidate
and popular issnes on its side, to
carry the election. Pennsylvania,
for the next twelve days, will be the
centre of political interest.?N. P.

Saving a Courtship.
It is rolated of the celebrated rath
er cccontric Abernethy, of England,
that he never thought of marrying
until he was called upon to attond a
sick lady whose yoang daughter was
ncr nurse, :am iu nuum 4i? wpvi ?cu
thoso admirable qualities of heart and
mind whifch he judged necessary to
render-the married state happy, so
that he determined finally to propose
for the hand of the fair daughter.
Accordingly, on Saturday, when ta
king leave of his patient, he addressed
her in the following import: "You
aro now so well that I noed not see
you after Monday next, when I shall
come and pay you a farewell visit.
But in the meantime, I wish you and
your daughter seriously to consider
the proposal I am about to make. It
is abrupt and unceremonious I am
aware, but the excessive occupation
of my time, by ray professional duties,
affords me no leisure to accomplish
what I desire by the mere ordinary
course of attention and solicitation.

lLie public, so that you may readily
ascertain what it is. I have seen in
your daughter a tender and affection
ate child, an assiduous and careful
nurse, and a gentle and lady-like
member of your family; su?:h a persou
must be all that a husband could cov
et, and I offer my hand and fortune
for her acceptance. On Monday,
whon I call, I shall expect your deter
mination, for I really have not time
for the routine of courtship.
So much frankness and propriety
of intention and speech certainly
deservod to be recompensed. The
Doctor was saved all the nonsense of
perhaps a dissimulating courtship,
and the lady was wooed and won in
the course of her filial duties. The
union proved a happy one in every
respect, and the example of the good
physician for honest candor, at least,
worthy of all imitation."
An idler boasted to a farmer of
his ancient family, laying much
stress upon his having descended
from an illustrious man who lived
several generations ago. "So much
the worse for you," replied the far
mer, "for we invariably find the
older the seed, the poorer the
crop.

a subjected class* a proscribed class,
an alien class,: ap outlaw class in the

an equal and lawful platform of our

free to exercise such faculties as God
