HAEPEB.--:-The great and highly gifted and accomplished Mrs. Iarper of color made one of her fine and unsurpassed intellectual etf'orU in the phi- anthropib and populous city of brotherly ove, a few days before the lato elections, to'a highly intellectual, '2olite and atten tive audiyce. , We are gravely told that Jtfrs. Harper is an accomplished belles let- tres scholar, drasses in the most costly and ashionable style, yet with jceat taste and neatness, and is as modest as she is be icitcJiingly beautiful. Ahem! Good reader, ; have a little patieace, we will get through the description-of this most re markable lady and Websterian Oratoress aflcr a while, if we'ean. Mrs. Harper is remarkably tall for her sex, but the mould of her frame is as symmetrical, as that of the celebrated Egyptian beauty, Clcpa- tra, . whom 3frs. "Harper v-rry much re embiest if any of the myraviyxgs of that celebrated beauty that hate heretofore ben exhibited to the public, are to be relied upon as correct. And every move Mrs. Harper makes is so exquisitely grace ful, that it literally sirrounds her, as she moves, with an eloquence, that is far more persuasive than tho solt scolian whispers of the one we raost dearly love. And yet the silent eloquence generated y Mrs. Harper's graceful acts, attitudes and mo tion, ppeaks with a voice far more power ful and persuasive, to every true radical confiscatory leart, than if seven thunders were to utter their voices blended, and give them a direct command ftm the upper spheres : But now no more thy mimic arts are found Contracted to the shadow of a sound. To nobler faculties thy voico aspires, Ana lenas to dullness all tlie Jiluso's'fires. Where, beauteous nymph, didst thou the talent get, To hour rank nonsenseand return it wit ! AVhere learn the arts like Paryc'.a's kins of old. To turn the vilest subBtances to Gold ? From Folly'6 brow to tear tho mask away; Make Vice himself his dirty face display. The petty monarch's strutting state deride, And laugn to Fcornthe pedant s paltry pride. Yet, peerless nymph, the new acquired art Gives not the eame delight to every heart ; The knave Hnd fool, by thee to shame consign'd, iNor wit,nor musie, in thy voice can find; And made tho themeof laughter and disdain. Feel not the charms of thy responsive strain." Yet the accomplished Mrs. Ilarpar sings, we are told, sweeter than any nightingale. Ahem ! Gentle reader, we are still progressing as you will observe. 15ut for fear of exhausting your patience we will proceed at once to give a 6hort extract from the gnat speech of this great Oratoress and accomplished bhek radicsl lady, delivered in the great city of Philadelphia as aforesaid. We quote from one of Forney's two papers both daily The Press. And we would be delighted if every poor white man, woman and child in the Southern States, could and w ould read it. It there is anything upon earth, that can stir up a manly pride and self-respect with in them it will bj by reading the many miserable and detestable slanders this miserable blik slut has dared to spw out upon them snd their children. And we fcel all the more anxious to see the poorer claf 6es of this State resent by their ballots, and in every other manner possi blc, such unmitigated lies a. she has uttw- ed in regard to their iire to amalgamate with the negroes, when we riember she was prowling through this State for some time, delivering lectures so called to her colored friends. But to the extract : " I do not regard our people's condition as the saddest in the South far sadder is the condition of the poor white people. They have all the iguorance of the slave, with al! the pride of the roaster. They do not appear to belong to any race. Too proud to allow tin ir children to go to the same school with children cf our race. I have yet seen them begging from the peo ple they affected to despise. Were our people willing to amalgamate with them. there might be some hoiie for them ; but as ii 15, i see none. Now is it possible that there can be found a white man, rich or poor, who- has entered into any of the loyal leagues, or any other of tho many oath bound secret societies, of the Radical party, and in t;ese secret societies joined, with and stimulated the negroes, petitioning Congress to ovar turn, the government of this State and the other Southern States, to the end that the negroes might thereby be the more cer tainly and speedily, clothed with all the duties and responsibilities of the freest and most accomplished American citizen, fail t) blush, and blush in scarlet too, when they read this precious extract from their accomplished colorod sifter Mrs. Harper. The compunctions of conscience that seized upon the guilty Judas, and forced him for relief, to throw down his thirty pieces of silver, and go out and hang him self, will yet come, and with a death like grip, fasten upon the conscience of every white man in the South, if he has any, who joined in this detestable w ork. And mark ye w hen these torturing com pnnctins come, as come they wiil, and begin, when your 6ouls shall be in agony within you, to ply their scorpion stings it is then you will feel what traitor and trea son means as you swocn away by your grief consumed. Your names in infamy will rot and the memory of these traitorous acts against the cuntry that gave you birth, wiil become more and more offen sive to every truv , patriot in the land when they behold the gifted and accom plished ladies and gentlemen of color risein the mhKtof the great cities of the North and West, and there with such hypocriti cal feelings of heart-felt 'sorrow xlippcntly cre. vueir contempt ana pity ioLyouana meanns. e therefore most earnestly insist on all who belong to any of these ae-j cret militarr nr mnnr cns;tiaa tin . J r - 1 did not join m petitioning Congress to overturn our StatP (Tni-ommonfa fm- flio I overturn our State governmenU for the objects above stated-or . who; hate any love left for their own race or the country which gave them bitth or in which they live forthwith to come oat from wong the .au,ai wujidwiuh, auuii, uct iaw juur atand wfehyour countrymen and battle bravely with them for the constitution xad the union of your fathers. --J Onkvfctvn Wn i t v Wo.

The ouly difference, wo can see, is that tho secessionists desired la bored and fought desperately to over turn the government to establish tho Con federacy. The radical confiscators, aro laboring to overturn the government while professing to restore tho Union, that they may have the opportunity to reconstruct a new government, outside of the Constitu tion and of a different character altogether, from that of the present republic. And we now, and here, solemnly warn tho public, that if those radical confiscators and conspirators succeed in their unholy efforts, w will soon have no republican form of government on this continent, but a rank aiad rotten military despotism as ever lorded it over mankind. Indeed, it we are not greatly deceived tho initiatory steps have already been taken, to secure this object. And the peoplo are ripening every day to aid in its consummation. Wno are the Rebels? Some of the Radical journals, wo see, persist in calling the Maryland "Democrats7' Tebels.

And yet Grange to say theae political desperadoea are continually prating about their loyalty to the gov ernment, their great love of the Union, ,nion men, and a republican form of gor- ernment.
