OR, THE TWO CITY CLERKS. BY SYLVAN US COBB, JR. [ ContinufJ.] The common civilities wore passed, and then Mr. Rushton sat down ami looked : around. lie saw uncut, substantial book case, well tilled with good books; a few choice pictures upon historical subjects ; and a table, upon which were books, pa per, pens and ink, drawing materials, and a Cute. The merchant glanced at the book which Oliver had iust laid down,, with his "mark" carefully placed where he had left off reading, find saw that it WAN "COOPEK'H VIRGIL." "Do }*ou read Latin?" Mr. Ruslitou asked. "Not much, sir," replied the youth, modestly, "I studied it some when at school, and I thought I might as well de vote a part of my time to that us not. I tiud that I can get along very well by reading a little every evening." "Eery evening ? Do you spend ev ery evening here?" "Almost sir, I go to a good lecture now and then." "Then you don't go out much evenings?" ; "No, sir." "Don't you like it ? " "Well—l should like to walk out oft ener, perhaps, if there were any pleasant places in which to walk ; but this eitv doesn't afford many such, sir." "But most young men of your age Gnd plenty of pleasure abroad iu the evening." "1 suppose so, sir. And yet it is but h flashing pleasure, after all. 1 fear many of them are purchasing present pleasure at thp cost of future suffering. No, sir—l find pleasure abroad. I will not say that there is none to be found. There may be much. In fact, 1 know there must be much of real pleasure to be found in our great city by those who are thoroughly acquain ted, and know where to look for it. Ido . not mean that thut if the well-skilled manufacturer wishes to augment the power of his liq uor to ou the brain and nervous ys tem rather than on the digestive and cir | culating system, that is, to intoxicate and stupefy rather than to excite or irritate, he has only to change the leading drug of his " essence" from a caustic to a narcot ic. • Instead of arsenic, cayenne, corro sive sublimate, phosphorus, etc., he will use prussic acid, strychnine, henbane, bell tdona, etc. A dollar's worth of either of these Jrugs will increase the potency of a whole barrel of alcohol, in whatever form or diguise it may appear as a beverage, one hundred per cent. Hence if a barrel of brandy, without "essence," will amount, when retailed by the drink, to one hundred and twenty dollars and ninety-six cents, allow half a gill for a drink, price six cents,) one dollar in-: verted in prussic acid or strychnine wil' j enable the same barrel to bear an equal amount of water, while each drink will I " make drunk come," equal to the genu ine aricle, and if the flavoiing and pun-! gency is carefully managed with extract of logwood, burnt sugar, sulphuric acid, vitriol, suga? of lead, erraina of paradise, j coeculus indieu, hops, alum, horse-rad ish, " botanical" Juniper, lime, chamber | lye, etc., the " most fastidious taste" will not be offended, and the " connoisseur" will find his cultivated appetency and sensuality fully satisfied, while the deal er gets for his barrel of brandy two hun dred and forty-one dollars and ninety two cents. The paragraph above quoted represents the •' esseuce of brandy" which killed the Toronto manufacturer, to be in its properties, " very nearly allied to prussic acid. It is indeed so. It is as nearlv allied to prussic acid as prussic acid it self. The same experiment has been tried many times before, and with ex actly the same result. Many chemists, physicians, and apothecaries have acci dcntly tasted the contents of a bottle containing prussic acid, and "in less tlnyi sixty seconds were corpses." — Life Illustrated. a. Presiding? Elder of the Plilladeipliitt Con ference. [Cor. of the Phil. Eeeninj Bulletin.] NEW CASTLE, Del., Aug. 24. —At the close of the camp meeting for Greensboro I Circuit, Caroline county Md., held at Boonsboro, and which closed a few days ago, there was witnessed one of the gross est pro-slavery outrages which has ever i occurred in the State of Maryland. At ! many meetings of this kind it is usual at | the close of camp meetings, for all mem bers of the Church (Methodist Episcopal) ' to march around the ground, inside of the ' circle formed by the tents, and sing some 1 hymn appropriate to the parting of those who have been worshippers together in the tented grove for the week or more ol the meeting's continuance. Ordinarily the colored people form in marching order, and defile into line im mediately after the whites; but in some localities, Jest offence should be taken by outsiders, tho colored pc-oplc arc marched around by themselves, and after the pro cession of the whites has taken place. To ' conciliate the pro-slavery sentiment in the locality, the latter plan was adopted by the prudent dignitary who had charge 1 of the interests of the meeting. Rev. Win. McCouibs, the Presiding Elder, placed himself at the head of the procession of the colored members of the .Methodist Episcopal Church, which was made up of slaves and free people of col or, when a mob of mora thau fifty per sons, led on by an ex-dignitary of the county, entered the circle and came up im mediately abreast the procession. The leader of the mob forbade Mr. McCoiubs to take another step at his per il, and threatening him with the ven-, geauco of the mob should he dare to ad vance. The Presiding Elder, intimidated by! threats of persoual violeuce, aud fearing bloodshed and a general melee, quit his place at the head of the procession, and; the mob was triumphant on the ground made as sacred by the laws of Maryland as is the inside of a church. A Magistrate on the ground, and of ficiating member of the Methodist Epis copal Church, was a plied to we learn, for a writ, in order to arrest the leader of the mob. This process was denied the Presiding Elder, aud he found to his chagrin, and in contradiction of former repeated asseverations in regard to Meth jodism in the slavcholding territories of the Philadelphia Annual Conference, that the Methodist people were untrue to Anti-Slavery Methodism, or at least had not the courage to support their church official when the interest aud rites ot the (colored people were in question. We are not lovers of strife and blood shed, yet we can ou'y think of the po sition or Mr. MoCombs as one represen iug, oa this occasion, the whole interests of Anti-Slavery Methodism on the penin sula, aud deeply regret that ri-rbt, and the prestige of a powerful churcu on the right aide, should ao quietly have been surrcud-wed.

Mr. Ewing writes like j a bold and fe&rkas man and would evident jly rather suffer defeat, than abandon one jot ot his Republican principles. We give the conclusion of his letter. He states j very distinctly what Republicanism is, j and what it desires to accomplish j ''But, why in. the coueluaioo of your article, do you call upon 'the slaveholders | of Maryland to stay the march of Repub licanism?' Why do you call on the 10, ,000 slaveowners and hare no word tosav ;to the 410,000 free white men and wo men who eat their bread in the sweat of their faces and don't own or ever expect to own a single nigger? Are the inter ests of the non-Blavehc,ders not to be ta ken into account? Must their lands ba depreciated in value, and their labor de graded, and they teinaiu silent? Repub licanism does not, as your party asserts, wish to turn all the slaves loose and place them on an equality with the whites. It does not desire to intefere with slavery where it exists. Its only object is to pre serve our territories for free white men, and allow them the privelege of reading, writing er speaking on what subject they see proper without being liable to fine and : imprisonment. It seeks to confine slavery within its present limits, and to elevate free white labor by giving the man whose only cap ital i* a stout heart and two willing hands au opportunity to live without being plac ed on an equality with and treated w nigger slaves, or else be crushed out by them. It seeks to give the white man, to th exclusion of the black, the complete and cntir- 1 control of all agricultural and me j ohanieal pursuits. It sympathises with the white race, and wishes to see our laud ; iuereasa in value, our resources become . developed, and our country filled up with honest, industrious, intelligent whites and their smiling cottages rise upon the ! ruins of squallid negro huts. This is all that Republicanism asks—why should , you battle against it with such bitterness?" Wlitil !s a Democial I THE SX.V says the " real Democrat IS the friend of Wiiiaot." This is a very J ideal figure of speech. What docs the iSun mean by Democrat?— Penntylvcni'n. To wipe out all ideality and rub out every figure of speech' the Sun thus re spectfully answers the A Democrat is a man who believe* in the strength of the people, without hav ing that strength exercised in knocking him out of oflice because he acts as it" he j thought Democracy ment the weekneaa of tho people. A Democrat may, at j times, so far forget himself as to cater j for the interests of all Wards but Lb jown; all Counties but his own, all j States but his own : if, however, he scb i serves the good of other counties before i his own, he then is called a traitor. A real Democrat is one who regards the interest of his own Ward, County and State before those of all other Wards, j Counties and States, and when he is en gaged iu a Btate campaign in 1557 do
