SAXE, ED1T0B AND PROPRIETOR THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1851. POLITICAL SER.1IOXS. The Nhw York Observer, a religious newspaper, remarks It is with painful apprehensions that we ubserve in the speeches of clergymen, in the tone of a portion of the press, and in ihe deportment of ihe people, a gathering determi nation to make an issue witli the government OHIO. We rejoice to lenrn that the democracy of Ohio are firmly united for the ensuing election on the 10th of October. The nominations as far as made and ihe regular organization are supported by eveiy democratic paper in the state, and all unite in condemnation of the ufusun" through which the whigs hope to obtain power.

The Nebraska issue is looked upon by the practical demociacy of Ohio as a thing that is settled, and ihey do not mean to hazard their success by suffering it remain a distrccting element of the contest. In this they exhibit even mere than accustomed wisdom; for at the same time that they nre enabled to unite heartily together by casting out what might have been an irritating cause of division, they deprive the opposition of one of its chief weapons. As Hon. George Bliss, the member of congress from the 16tll district, beautifully expresses it, "that great party of national necessity, which is animated by. and holds in its keeping, the very soul of the republic, is not destined to be shattered to fragmen by any difference of opinion upon'lhis sul ject." Many of the county fusion meetings have already resulted in confusion to their projectors, as the number of democrats that are caught in them can scarcely bo discovered with a the better sort of national whigs turn away with disgust from the society of factionists and embryo traitors.

After such national whigs getthe nominations and platform of the fusion stale convention at Columbus (which met on Thursday, July 18), ihey will be very likely to go over to the democrats, with whom they can associate without that feeling of degradation that must oppress them should they remain in the camp of thesectionalists. Everything promises well in Ohio. Boston Post. eente asking an investigation of the charge against Justice Grier, of the U. S.

Don't felicitate yourself, or astonish your friends concerning your great uncle's fortune, or your grandfather's bank stock. Firstly, because every one sees, with half an eye, that rich relations are the poorest dependencies in the world and the rottenest of all pegs on which to hang a hat. Possibly, your uncle will not know you to-morrow, if you have forced yourself upon his attention lu-day, for the rearon that he revolves some orbits higher than yourself, and no doubt your grandfather will tell you that his daughter married out of her sphere, when she took pity on your father. Plough alopg biavely, showing no fear and asking no favor. Receive no obligation fom them not even a second-rate garment.

Do not flatter them by obsequious attentions, do not give them presents according to your means, and vainly wait munificent returns. Above all, never borrow their money to begin with. If you fail, the proverb is, "he had every thing done for hirn," and "his Uncle Countclose set him up," no matter what interest you paid or what your security was. If your creditor has a drop of your blood in his veins, the action is regarded as a species of chanty for which you must be profoundly grateful. On the contrary, if the capital succeeds, on all sides you are pricked with pins of patronage scorpion stings to a sensitive spirit and every where meet the uncle or cou-in who has been the making of you.

Then, indeed, you are expected to return four fold all you ever received, or bear on your front the taunts of ingratitude. Susan Mullen. natural These modifications in the physical world are not alone proofs of the superior wisdom of God and his infinite capacities for creation They appeal to vs in a still more affecting light. His gracious consideration of our happiness and his great condescension in adapting his magnificent conceptions, to our finite comprehension. Were they but one color in universe, how soon the senses would sicken'of ils perpetual sameness and what pain our eyes would endure, unrelieved by the changing and delicate hues that make creation as the kaleidescope of God.

The simple distribution of color, might lead us to a world of inquiry, too profound for answer, and too infinite for comprehension, except upon the broad principle of universal love which links Heaven with earth, and the visible creation to an invisible creator. Studious of our fine tastes, and sympathising with our implanted love of beauty, God has dotted the earth with flowers, whose varying shades and colors adapt themselves through changing seasons to our differing appreciations, temperaments and tastes. The hills contrast forever with the valleys and the valleys: with the woods. The sea and sky oppose their ever vanishing and ever renewing panorama of blue to the bright green of the lancfscap'e, or the white sheet of the mantled winter earth. The TIIIRTY-TIIIKD CONGRESS.

FIRST SESSION, Monday, July 10. SENATE. Messrs Chase and Sumner presented petitions from Massachusetts, Ohio and Connecticut for the repeal of the fugitive slave law. Various bills were reported and referred. The bill for a telegraph line to the Pacific was then taken up.

Mr Brown laid on the table a substitute he intended offering for the homestead bill. The bill granting a right of way for a railroad through ths government grounds at Peiiia-cola, was passed. Mr Sebastain said an executive session was necessary to-day. He therefore moved one. Agreed to.

A memorial from the Wheeling and Belmont Bridge Company wis pre ORR, THE BLOWER.

Orr, the Blower, or as he is sometimes called, the "Angel Gabriel," the man who preached in the streets of Burlington a short time since, is the subject of a biographical sketch in the N. Y. Sunday Courier, written by a countryman of the the angelic trumpeter, and containing the following paragraph, after describing his life as a wandering preacher in Wales Growing tired of his rural position, and having brought on a fit of dyspepsia by eating too heartily of Welsh rabbits, he disappeared one night, leaving a few debts behind him, as tokens of his affection among his parishioners, and taking with him by way of remembrance, the pewter tankard which had been employed in the church sacraments. He made his way for the nearest seaport, which wus B.istol, where he shipped as cook on board a vessel bound for Jamaica, and on his arrival in that island he again assumed the functions of a preacher; but finding that the Baptist persuasion was popular, he joined that sect. How long he remained in Jamaica, is not known, but probably not long, for he taught a dancing school in the town of McGrawsville a few years ago, after which he became a convert to Mormonism.

But when Joe Smi weni to Illinois, he (urned his face toward Ihe Atlantic Slates, and, after having been by turns check taker at a circus an assistant in a menagerie, a temperance lecturer, a tin pedler, and editor of a nativist paper Philadelphia, he found himself in New York with just money enough in his pocket to purchase a brass trumpet, and with this for his stock in trade he commenced the Angel Gabriel line of business, which has proved so highly profitable, and made his name so famous. His career in this city is too well known to require any comments, lie is not the only man who has made his way in the world by blowing his own trumpet. Over-Issue of Rail Road Stock. We learn from the Boston papers that another over issue of Vermont Central Railroad shares lias been made by Edward Crane, the President, unknown to bis associates in the direction of the company's affairs. It appears that after the removal of the office of the company, about three weeks -since, to New Yovk, where the newly appointed Treasurer resides, the former clerk in the office made up the stock balances of the several brokers and operators here, i to be given to Mr.

G. W. Gordon, the newly appointed transfer agent in this city. The paper was passed to Mr. Crane to certify its correctness to Mr.

Gordon, and before it was received by Mr. Gordon, two fraudulent alterations were made in it by Mr. Crane, by placing eight thousand shares half each to the credit of Mr. Broadhead and Mr. Latimer, which have been sold or otherwise realized upon in the street.

When the accounts were received by Mr. Gordon from the office in New York, on Saturday, this second fraud by Mi. Crane was discovered, and when charged with it ho admitted the fact, and immediately resigned his position as President and Director. Another Defaulter. The Tribune has private information that a collector of Customs on our northern frontier, under Mr.

Fillmore's administration, is in trouble concerning his accounts. The reported deficiency is over $100,000, but it will be difficult to ascertain the actual amount, as his- books arc not forthcoming. The New York and New Haven Railroad.

THE SECOND A ALGA ATION CONVENTION. The Convention holden at Molitpelier, nn the 3ih resulted in the fomiatioD of a new name and a new ticket for the party of the star that never sets." The nominations are as follows: For Governor, E. WALTON, of Moutpelier. 1 For Lieut. Governor, RVLAND FLETCHER, of Cavendish.

For Treasurer, HENRY M. BATES, of Northfield. What is to happen next, it is quite impossible to foresee. Whether Judge Royce or Gen. Walton is to yield, is not definitely known, but it is supposed that the one or the other will "cave" at last.

The resolutions are not yet published, though we learn from the Watchman that there was one which christened the whig party anew, which is hereafter to be called the "republican" party! We observe that the Free Press is making preparation for the new flag (which may be known by th? stripes alternate black and white,) and has dropped the word whigV from the head of its state ticket. This trick of adopting alias names is not a new one with the whig (we beg pardon, the parly. It is a very old expedient with pick-pockets and federal politicians but though false names may serye the purposes of a rogue for a while, the very multiplicity of his "aliases" is usually a strong circumstance to bring him to justice at last.

'flie Convention hold at Essex on the 28th ult, did not result in any nomina- lions at that time, but the matter was referred to a committee who are authorised to call another convention for that purp-osj at a future day. The Ficc Vrss which, ridicules the convention, says that, "So.ne 13 or 20 individuals assembled in the parlor of the tavern at Essex Junction, on Saturday, about 1 IA ocloclt.

A chairman was procured with difficulty, half a dozen or more being nominated, who severally declined. A like difficulty was experienced in procuring a-secretary. The Convention finally, however, organized with Dr.V. S. Johnson, of Milton, Frerfirient; C.E.

Brings, Secretary. In addition to whom MessM. Beach and Witters were chosen Vice residents, ut a later stage of the proceedings." It is very plain, however, even from the Free I'ress' report of the proceedings, that the meeting was not the contemptible affair that the Free Press pretends. Mi'. Jolinson Said that in his opinion the Frecsciil puty wade a mistake in adjourning its first county convention witliout inakin; a nomination.

Thoy had been 'gulled and cheated and turned and twisted and tapered down lo snthin.V A nomination should be made tout day, he said, if ho male it alone, and' there should be a press to sustain, the' ticket in the county, if hu own money had to start and maintain it." The soothing-eyrup-so-freely administered bv Messrs. Adams and French, did not appear to have the quieting effect that was designedthe doctors being supposed to be themselves somewhat in the attitude of patients. From the character of the committee chosen to call the next convention, (Dr. of Milton, Dr. Richard so of Gbkhester, Truman Fa-v, of Richmond,) wo judge that the apprehensions of th'e Free Fwsare well founded, and that the whigs of Chittenden County willfind that a bargain with a few politician's, is not necessarily equivalent to an actual sale, and posilivo transfer of an entire party, I KS-f8 on tins question, and, it possible, to prevent the execution of this law.

It is time to pause when this doctrine has any semblance of favor in the public conscience. A spark of fi may explode a magazine, and ages may not be able to repair the mischief. When certain rash men, in October 1849, invoked an armed resistance to the fugitive slave law, and proffered the crown of martyrdom to those who perished in the fight, a thrill of horror struck the heart of the people, and the authors of the infamous sentiment were fain to hide themselves from public rebuke by a Quasi denial. Is there aught in the present circumstances to make that doctrine less atrocious now than A congregational cUrgymin, writing to the Journal of Comrntrce from Boston, in enumerating the political strmonizers, and stating the proposed future action of the clergy, s-rys What is to be the result of this politico-clerical warfare upon the laws of the land and the constitution? Judging from the past, a. portion of the clergy may be speedily ashamed of their conduct, and become Gospel prPachers.

Those who persist in such preaching, will either drie a portion of their hearers away to seek a Gospel church, or will drive themselves away, to debauch any other people they can pet to hear them. As a con sequence of the whole, many of our congregations will become divided new, and, perhaps entirely independent Congregational churches will be formed, and many will find a religious refuge in the Episcopal church, as by far the most conservative denomination we have among us, and who, so far as we learn, have little or no political preaching in their pulpits. If tli anna's of the past in New England ware searched, our clergymen would find tuost instructive lessons with regard to the influence of politic.il preaching. In the old federal times of 1812 and following, the late Dr. Burton, of the Congregalionalist church, of Thetford, drove eighty of his parishioners to the Methodists in a body, by his political pu'pit harangues.

The late Dr. Parish, of fiyfield, made himself and his parish much trouble for the same reason and further, had tegrets upon the subject when he came to die. There is much of the ecclesiastical history of the Cotigregationalists of this period that is eminently suggestive at this time. If the Congregational denomination in New England, which, for various rea sons, in the past, has given the chief forces to establish and sustain other denominations, is desirous of becoming 'small and beautifully let it adopt abol.tion as a principle of the body, and encourage political preaching. The Coos Democrat, published at Lancaster N.

in commenting on the Senatorial congest in that State, thus speaks of one of the prominent candidates: The Hon. Harry Ilibbard, as an old friend, a true democrat and member of congress from our own district, having by hi position in congress been called upon to speak and act upon the Nebraska question at the start, and spoken and acted promptly and boldly as becomes an honest man as well suits his political character we may perhaps be excused for saying a word particularly in reference to Ins position, He has been denounced and burned in effigy, and treated loall those exhibitions of spleen and spile so commonly rpsorted to by the freesoders of this State. But he has little reason to complain none that he has experienced a legislative defeat. He has the warm support of true men. The malice of such factionisis as we have described, does him honor.

It damonstrates his worthiness, and shows how much he de serves the confidence of high lntuded and Datriotic men. lis constituents have watched his course upon this question and all questions. They have read his recent speech, exhibiting at large his views of the policy to be pursued in regard to slavery in the territories. There never was a politician in the State, whose views upon leading questions were understood more thoroughly. And assailed though he rnav have been hv vmpru who Imvp nlwavn opposed him and every other true democrat- political existoncies lo whom lie owes no fealty and for whom he can feel no respect he has, as we well know, the entire confidence and warm support of the democracy in every portion of his district.

The state convention lias approveJ, 'heartily approved' his course during the present session, by emphatic resolutions passed without a dissenting voice. The democrats in the legislature have again endorsed him as a good and true man, by nominating him, almost unanimously, as a candidate for the senate of the United Slates. A few faclionists in the legislature have defeated him. But their days are numbered. Another year find them in the retirement which they best become, and the dctr.ocracy triumphant as ever in the Granite State.

THE NEW POSTAGE BILL. The House has passed the new postage which was reported a week or two since by Mr. Olds, the chairman of the committee on postage. The bill, as explained by Mr. Olds, when it was reported, makes the postage for letters for distances under three- thousand miles three cents, and requires pre-paymcnt, and that pre-pay- ment be by stamps.

It ocean postage at five cents for distances under three thousand miles, and ten cents for distances over three thousand miles; The main difference between the proposed rates and' those at present in force, is the increase to ten cents on letters carried over three thousand miles, the present rates being five cents. The ocean postage rates are now ten- and 'twenty cfcnts under the new Bill they are five and' ten cents. It is-also proposed to require pre-paymcnt of inland postage, by The Washington correspondent' of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce writes that the appointment of Hon John McKeon as U.

S. District Attorney for the south ern district of New York, is regarded as a most judicious one, and must prove satisfactory lo the merchants and bust ncss men generally of the groat com morcial metropolis of the Union. The President in spite of a treinen dons outside pressure, lias exhibited KANSAS. Will it be Free or Save Territory. The following letter, from Mr.

John Chrisman, of the Baptist Mission in Kansas, shows lhat there is little danger of Kansas being anything but a fice State: "The all important que ion here now, is whether this shall be a free Territory or not. The Missonrians had' a meeting in Westport on the 2d, and there 1 heard some of the grea test speeches in su ppor of Slavery the only ones ever heard or want to hear. They want to form a colony and take their slaves into the Territory. They adopted resolutions to protect and help one an jther against all Abolitionists that would come into the Terriiory, and if they could not do it by moral means declared that they would do it at the muzzle of the musket; but I think that the barking dog never bites anybody. I heard several speak, and riot one of ihern wants to goto the Temtoit themselves, but they want it to be a slave Territory, and how to gel at it they do not knotf.

They know that if it comes in free they will loBe their slaves; The Abolitionists have nothing to to risk they have their slaves. They call all northern men abolitionists. The emigrants loo, and settlers of Nebraska, have called a meeting, which I suppose you hive heard of, and adopted resolutions to protect one another and go o'n with a rush against slavery wid not allow it in the Territory at all. There is no danger, I think, of Kansas coming in as a slave Territory, from the fact that they are afraid of losing ilieir slaves. They can't muster up enough of slave-holders to make a colony.

They are very mad at Massachusetts for donating five million dollars to send people that are riot able to move here, and fill up this Territory with voters, who will bring it in free; They say that they had better liberate their slaves at once than to have them run off by the Canada underground railroad; it would not vex them so. But what cm they do? They are wealthy, and cannot enough of them sell out in Missouri to do anything. TntEir Hartford Cour-ant has exposed the plans of "the stave power It says they are two-fold, external and internal. They are; 1, the seizure of Cuba 2, the conquest of Hayti 3, conquest of Mexico 4, alliance with Brazil 5, the seizure and appio-priatinn of the West Indiesnnd Central America. These are the external plans I The internal list is as follows.

1, new slave states' in Texas, Kansas and Nebraska; 2, the estab lishment of slavery in 3, there establishment of slavery in free states. Baks has evidently got the view which the Courant has. The Journal of Commerce quotes the whole of the Courant's expose, and says "There is one item in the programme, which the Com ant has omitted. After the above measures have been carried into effect, or sooner if practicable, it is-iotend'ed to catch all the abolitionists in the northern states, and gloss them over with lamp-black, rubbing it in with indelible ink and aqua fort is, (such as they threw upon the troops and officers of the law at Boston,) and then put them up for sale to the highest bidder as negroes, and have them carried to-the far south, to fight alligators and musketoes. In this way is hoped they will be kept out of mischief." Japan.

A letter in the New York Commercial Advertiser, from an officer allached to Corn. Perry's command, speaks of the trade with Japan as follows "If Japanese can exchange coil for cotton goods they will find the trade a growing one but we shall ueither need nor come for the coal for probably four or five years at least. Provisions may be taken from them, in small quantities, by ships going to California, and perhaps rice and breadstuff, may be furnished to them by degtees. Copper and camphor are permanent staples of theirs. Tea and silk are not likely to be in demand.

Woollens will be wanted, and some trade in lacquered ware and porcelain will spring up. Intercourse will develop more acquaintance, and I think the Japanese will be desirous of going for themselves to the United States and to Europe, to see whether correct doscnpi ions of those portions of the world have been given them. It is not improbable lhat the railroad and the telegraph will come into use in Japan before they do in China." A Monster. Mary Ann Brongh, aged 47 years, first nurse to the prince of Wales, murdered six of her children and cut her own throat on the 18th at a cottape at West-end, England, on the borders of the royal domains of Claremonl. The oldest of the murdered children was aged 11 years, and the youngest was 12 months old.

The gallant defence or Siiistria, and at length, the retreat of iLc Itiis-iaus, ars events of great significance. The seige of this important post, commenced about the 17th of May, was raized on the 15Ui of June and in this interval the besieged have fought with a determination worthy of the most brilliant fighting days of the Turks. Tbe losses of the Russians have been very great. It is reniarta-ble that so many of their chief officers should have been wounded. To the list already named ore now added Prince Gortshakoffand Prince Paskiewitsch, not dangerously wounded, and General Schelders whose life was in danger at the last accounts.

The carnage among the men is represented as great. They were led up to the walls of Sillistria, not to conquer, but to be slaughtered by the thousands. At the storming of June ihey appear to have suffered the most, and for the two succeeding days were occupied taking away the dead six thousand are said to have fallen. On the Turkish side the loss has been severe, for the noble commander was himself a host, and was killed by a grenade. Omar Pasha, on hearing of his death, detached 30,000 men as to maneuvre for battle, and, under cover of this movement, threw 2000 Turks into Sillistria.

hist defence, and the success that followed it, have been achieved without aid from the allies. Perhaps Nicholas may come to the opinion that, after all, the Turk is not half so sick as he would fain have him to be. The Turks served Russia in a similar way in 1828. The Russian', that year, sat down before Sillistria July 21. A series of sorties, attacks and bombardments, for 4 months succeeded and at long-ill, November 0th, about a week after two days and two nights continual bombardment, the siege was raised and in getting off, the invaders lost largely of their haggigo and all their horses.

Then the Russian doctors had quite a consultation over the sick man." The adhesion of Anstria to the allied cause, with an army of three hundred thousand, now definitively settled, and the success of the Turks, will enable the Anglo-French to push forward their plans, for the campaign. This ia said to be a grand, combined attack on the Crimea by the Anglo-French, by sea and land, on the one side, and by the Circassians oathc other. Important news, therefore, may be soon expecUd from this quarter. Boston Post.
