"The onsuing election for Governor, Canal Com- missioner and Judges of the Supreme Court, &o., in this State, is giving rise to an immense division of political sentiment between the two great parties ofthe State. The whigs are very confident, cer- tainly, in respect to State officers, and the same re- mark, on the part of the democrats, is equally true. In my opinion, the race will be a very close one. Governor Johnston intends to again stump the State, having been remarkably fortunate in and having succeeded in electing himself to the office of chief magis- trate of tho key-stone of the federal arch. He ise ready, but not a chaste nor classic spoaker— one, however, calculated to win the good opinion of the common run of persons of “some sortof educa- tion.” His opponent, on the other hand—Colonel Bigler—is not as fluent a speaker, but be is more winning in his manners and deportment, and has been more consistent in his political career—never having turned his coat, and ever feeling pride in the name of s “democrat.” tively, to stump the State, for reasons which he has assigned, but which I do not remember » JAMES BUCHANAN’S SPERCH. Mr. Bucnanan having risen to address his ‘ellow citizens, was loudly cheered. He said that he desired, before the adjournment of this large and respectable meeting, to say a few words to them on the present condition of the country. The conventions were now over. cratic conventions had designated their standard- bearers. The issue was fairly joined, and we had now assembled to ratify the proseedings of the two democratic conventions—the one held at Reading and the other at Harrisburg; and he congratulated hia follow citizens, with all his heart, upon the nominations which had been made. ironically said, when the question was asked, “Who is James K.

Mr. A. is sent to Paris by the com- mittee whose intention it is to erect a monument in honor of Paul Jones, who died in Paris in 1792. It will be remembered that the celebrated sea captain took 2 pice part in the war of independence, and had with the English two battles, in 1777 and 1779.

If nothing else could aid their wishes, I think a cause could be found in the following fact, which took place on Sun: 4 morning last, at the English chapel of the Bei embassy, situated in rue d’Aguesseau. Four ladies from New York, ac- companied by an officer of the United States navy, wen’ to the chapel, with the view of listening to the sermon. At the entry of the house of the Lord, met with an usher, of whom they asked a seat. ‘1 will show you the place,” answered the man, “but you must pay one franc a piece,” ‘* What for?” ‘That's the rule.” ‘Are there no free seats to be had?” “Yes; there,” and the usher showed the ladies a bench in the lobby of the chapel, where no decent woman would take a seat. In the meantime the parson of the chapel passed by these ladies, whose tiolets were as recherché as possible, and they requested him to designate seats for them. ‘The same demand of one franc—a vile imposition— was made by the parson himself, who made it in such aloud voice as to bave it heard by all the congregation. ‘* Well,” said the lady, “1 am from acountry where any one may enter the house of the Lord, and be admitted without payi .
