Tho attempts of tha opposition to distract our party, to make a trifling difference upon a question of public policy a cm. for dissension among thoke who give in xvx adhesion to the sacie great Democratic principle, have proved nbortivc; and much to tln ir discomfiture, the Democracy have steadily refused to listen to their cunning suggestions, which, if adopted, would have the eueceai of lit. Vandever i the expense of their own defeat, We pavo to the world soon after the nomination of our candidato, what we consider ed good and tiiibiUntial rcainn.l Vhy he should VeceiVo the Bupport 'of every Derrj. ccrit in the District. We, considered him then es we consider him now, by his ener gr, big Industry and t'tt as tho "man beat calculated to bear the banaer of Democracy siircebsfully through .1 difficult arduous campaign.

i Hi antecedents proved lu'm a staunch and unflinching Democrat, and we felt assured 'that could hb tako his Feat in the halls of Congroas ta our Representative, we should havd" do occasion to blush for our effo-ta to place him thcro. Although differing with us In some measure, upin the policy of the Administration in reference to the Kansas question, we 'were as-ured that his differenco of opinion did not amount to personal antagonism to the President. Wo knew that he appreciated tho honesty and ability of Mr. Buchanan, and felt certain that his course in Congress, if elected, would demonstrate Ma conn- dunce in tho man whom the united vo'ce of the Democracy of the United State bad raised to the highest effico in their gift. Upon overt point of public policy does Mr.

Leffingwell differ with the Republican party! lie stands upon the Cincinnati Platform ns the crahodimont of those prin ciples for which the Democracy have ever contended. IIo la an advocate of the doc- trine of popular sovereignty, ns opposod io the Republican Federal dogma of Conres iennl sovereignty. Ho in in vor of no revolutionary opposition to tho decision of the highest judicial tribunal of our coimtry and ho deprecates the aitatin of the sla very question as tending to weaken the londs of that Union which our forefather fostered with so much cure, and bequeathed as a precious legacy to their posterity. In a I that constiti.tes Democracy, as contra d'stiriguished from Republican Radicalism, Judgo Leflingwell has ever been with lis, sever seeking to conceal and ever ready to defend his jrinciples. His services in the cause of Democracy entitle him to a prominent rank in our party, and to tho hearty support of every member.

Whatever cause of objection might have been taken to him by some of our party have been removed by his straightforward and manly and we shall all gh him a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether," which will insure hit success and tho triumph of our party. Tho 2d Congressional District will, in October, redeem itselt from the thrall of Republicanism, at we shall be representee! by man instead of a name. Tho Itombnrdinrnt of Jeddah by lltitinh Mau-of War. If there bo one admirable trait in the Administration of the afl'aira of Great Britain, it is in the tiger and promptness of the protectioi it affords its subjects. Let an Englishman, no matter, how obscure, how humble hi position, havo his ears cut cfi.

or le maltreatod in any way, by any petty princo or foreign power, and at once the Government demands reparation and sends a man-of-war to enforce it, if necessary Two English sailors are seized and impris oned by tho Neapolitan Government, and at once all England is in a ferment. The rights of the citizen must be protected, and outraged Biitish dignity vindicated and word is sent to Naples that urless the English are released, she will send to Naples an Embassador Extraordinary in the shape of a fleet. It is unnecessary to add tha the Englishmen are released. The British Consul and h's family are rmirdered by a mob of fanatical Turks at Jeddah. No long diplomatic correspondence no triflin with the Turkish authorities, is suffered to go on week after week but her Britannic Majesty's ahip-of-war Cyclops appears be fore the town, and on failure to make the necessary reparation, Jeddah is shelled with bombs and thot for five days.

At last Justice shows her front tho Tuikish Gov ernor execute some dozen of the assassins and sends thi balance of tho ringleaders to Constantinople, to be dealt with by the au thorities there.

There is an apparent earnestness on the part of certain politicians in New Ycrk to form a coalition against the principles and men of the administration, but the opinion prevails here that the effort will prove a failure. It is difficult to conceive how ma-terla! so Incompatible can unite. The embrace of Greeley and Brot ks i as heartless as was that of Giddings and Crittcnden.and I predict will be equally br'ef and ineffectite. Familiarity begets contempt, is' an adage which we shall see verified at Syracuse on the 8th proximo, at which time and place Jhe American aud; Rexublican SuteCoa-veDtionscf New York are to telield. A large proportion of the opposition in this State is Republican, in the influence, and under the control of Seward, with the one idea npon the banner of "No more Slave States." Will the friends of Mr.

Crtten-donbear this aloft or will Mr. Reward yield the i'restige of the one idea, by uni ting with it the dogmas or tue xvbow Nothings? 7 The time fixed for the consummatrori of this blessed union is near at hand that wo may, well wait to ee; and in. the meantime indulge the corfident expectation of a triumph in November noxt, in the eTection of a Democratic Governor, and a gain of at icaJt one member in tho next Congress. Pennsyivanta is wid; awake in the cause of the National Democracy, and the coming election will probably show a gain of four members in the congressional J. Glancey Joues- ill be returned, t' an whom there is not a truer man in tho nation.

His position, as Chairman of the Committe of Ways and Means, in the present Congress, has afforded him an op portunity of showing the metal ho is made of. and well has ho stood the ordeal. As a judicious administrator of tho finances, and an economical and faithful guardian of the Tieaury, he has had no superior, and few equals in tho responsible i osition he occu piew. Old Berks County will be slow to abandon the roan who does her and the na tion so much honor. Florence, loo, will bo returned, notwithstanding the reported dif ficulties in tho nominating convention, and at least one of the two membjrs from Pitts burg will be a Democrat.

The principal topics of interest here, at this time, are the blockada of the Venezu elian ports by the British and French war st amers, the peace witi China, and tho capture of a cargo of nlaves by the U. Brig Dolphin. As regards the first, the facts seem to be these The Ex-President of Venezuela, Monsgas, being, ia a recent political revolu tion, somewhat summarily deposed, and having perhaps, the terror of offended law oofore his eyes, put himself under the protection of the British and French Consuls. The succeeding government charge him with hiiih misdemeanors and malfeasanco in office among other things, of diverting the public funds to the use of hims-df and fiienu's, and in disregard of his foreign pro lection, hold him amencble to tae laws of the country. This, the protectors assume.

is a violation of the right of asylum; and upon tho call for the surrender of the body of Monegas being unheeded, the ports of Lagutra and Porto Cabella are at once block a led by the fleet of the allien, and all the small vessels lying therein taken captive. What right these foreigners have to in terfere in the execution of the laws of Venezuela, it is difficult to understand, and the impression prevails that the opportunity would have been neglected had the ports belonged to any of tho more powerful nations of the earth. It is worthy of remark that these foreign vessels are under the command of the valorous Captain of the British steamer "Buzzard," so recently distinguished for zeal in tho exercise of the right of search." H. Jreat Fire at Antwerp. A letter dated at Antwerp on the evening of the 3 5 of Avgust says: "A dreadful fire has destroyed tho Exchange, with its niagn.ficent bronze cupola, arcades, and Us tribunals of commerce.

The chambers of the Syndic, with tho city archives, are completely destroyed. The fire broke out in an upper story this morn ing at 2 o'clock. All is in ruins. Nothing as saved." The Independence Beige, in a letter dated Antwerp, Monday morning, 2:30 says "At the moment I write an immense disaster is occurring in our city. The Boune cf Antwerp, that place to which so many glorious souvemrs are attached, and which by its late improvement, its tairy-Iike cov ling, had become the admiration of all for eigners, i not hing more than a heap of rub- sh and smouldering ashes.

The style of hair cutting variously Known as "lighting," "hospital," ana penitentiary" style, has been somewhat in vogue again, this summer. It is a f.ishion which requires somo pluck in the wearer, and subjects him to an infinite number of practical jokes.

The only instance we have known when the joke was on the other side, happened a few weeks since. A short haired friend of ours went with a friend to a neighboring village, and meeting some friends in the bar-room of tne hotel, a bet was prorjosed. T. wore hi hat well over head, and a wager was made that a stout gentleman present f.om the rural districts, con'd not lift him from the floor hy the hair of ths head. The war was put up or rather it went down.

You will rejoice to learn that Judge Leffingwell has- just been here, and that, after a full inter change of views on the subject of Poli tics, matters' relating to the CongrcH-eional Canvass has assumed more cheering aspect. A. meeting of those National Demo crats in this city, who had, from princi-1 pie, feared that they would be unable to sustain Mr. Lefiingwejrj pretensions as a candidate for Uongress, has been held. ami a conference with Judge L.

jram hanpv to mtorm yoii that the dif ference between' his position and that of those Democrats named, have been ful ly and satisfactorily reconciled. Judge Lelungwell lias, in our estimation, placed himself unequivocally the Cincinnati Platform Las declared his confidence in, and determination, if elected, to snpjiortthe administration of Mr. Huchanan, and as the Liocompton question has become obsolete by legal is now no difference of sentiment between' us as Democrats.1 If elected, therefore, Judge Leffingwell will go to Congress as a true and faithful National Democrat, as Representative, adhering to the platform and usages of the great Democratic party of the Union, Such, then, is the happy termination of an unpleasant and unfortunate difference between Judge LetHng-well -Mid a portion of the- National Democracy of Dubuqne county, and I trust that never hereafter, will any cause arise in the least degree tending to distract or divide men who possess a common political faith, and cling with high, honorable, and patriotic motives to the principles of the Democratic fathers. Judge Leffingwell will now receive, as he de-deserves, the united support of the entire Democracy of this district. Respectfully and truly, i Your ob't.

II. Heath. The press of New York is one of its inst tutions. It is re cognised as an element of great power in the social economy of that1 metropolis-It has done as much, if not more, than any other means to build that city up, and make it the central seat of commer cial and financial influence on this continent. Tho New Yorkers understand very well why their journalism is so po tential.

They know that a newspaper press can no more become eminent in general excellence and efficiency with out the pecuniary income to meet its enormous expenses, than a huge machine can be operated without adequate motive power. They have, therefore, done all that was necessary to be done for their ten or more leading daily journals, by giving them a liberal and steady support a munificent and unfailing revenue from advertising. The press, in its turn, has been at once enabled and encouraged to do the city of New York, with all its multiplied and varied interests, a kind and amount of service which has repaid, a million times over, the local patronage it has received. When will the people of other cities- the mer chants and manufacturers especially I learn that it is the business of a commu nity that sustains its journalism, and that, just in the proportion that it is so upheld and fostered, is a daily press made useful and influential, at home and abroad? The superiority of London and New York lies in the greater mon ey-power at command, and that greater- nioney-power is derived from adverti sers exclusively. 1 huadelphia Javen iny Journal.

A BROTnEHLY Dog. Two dogs, in New' York, were in the practice of go- in; out top-ether to hunt squirrels on a mountain. One of them, in pursuit of some game, got his head fast between two rocks, from which he could not extricate himself. He remained in this situation eight days, during which time his associate fed him daily. Watch for this was his name was observed to whine and show great uneasiness.

lie would seize every bone and bit of meat he could find, and hasten up the mountain, reserving for himself only, the crumbs which were shaken from the table-cloth, lie also went often to the master of his friend and by signs endeavored to induce him to follow him. At lensxth the master began to notice the conduct of the dog, and one day said to him, "Watch, Jo you know where poor Alonzo is The dog, appearing to understand him, sprang up to him with so much force as almost to knock him down, and bv other signs induced him to follow him, and conducted him to his imprisoned companion. The poor dog was found to have suffered greatly. In addition to his being nearly starved, in his efforts to extricate himself he had worn the skin from his neck and shoul ders. Fragments of the bones which Watch had brought him lay around.
