Editors Southern I'ress : A correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger from this city, .who uses "Observ er" as his tiom de plume, but who is gen erally known to be one Francis Grand, has written a letter; under date of 23d ult. vh;ch requires some notice from me. 1 copy from that letter the following splen etic extract ' - - "The public printing has not yet been definitely disposed of. A new committee has been appointed by a Democratic oeua torial caucus, but as yet they " have .been unable to come to any definite conclusion. rhey all agree that the present pnniei na forfeited his .contract,- that he has execut ed the greater part of his work in au exe crable manner, &c, but they cannot agree on the manner of electing a public primer.

On the contrary, we have steadily held out the olive branch of peace, and have been met too often with such prescriptive insolence as Gen. Cass has put into the mouth of his hireling scribbler. - , , History is suggestive on this subject; and in its li-ht I beg to ask of the friends of Pierce and King what does General Cass mean by this violent philippic against uie Southern Rights Democracy ? That he should feel sore from his late defeat is nat uralthat he should know what hands sped the shaft that at once cut the thread of his political fate, and, at the same lime, hw that act. saved the Democratic party from coming overthrow, is not singular ; but how. far-does this disappointment go? Would it be a balm to his wounded ambi tion to witness the defeat, next autumn, of the ticket by which he has been super seded ? His present course is suspicious ; rm if he is not aiming at it, he is at least wiIlin"- to encounter ,a mighty risk of that great calamity to the country, lor the sake nf jvi-pnkmo- nis vengeance on mc ukuipu whn .-hose not to vote for him. 1 arraign General Cass, then, as a disturber of the Democratic peace I charge him with hav-ino- tossed a firebrand into the bo?om of a rvmv . whence discoid had but just been banished by common consent., x. him of an attempt at proscription, which, if it succeeds, will be decisive of the de feat of Pierce and King for it includes the Democratic party of the Souih.

Government should be conducted up on principles of the strictest economy, and revenue sufficient for the expenses thereof, in time of peace, ought to be mainly de rived from a duty on imports, and not from direct laxes ; and in levying such du ties sound policy requires a just discrinufi atinn and protection from fraud by specific duties, when practicable, whereby suitable encouragement may be assured to Ameri can in iustry, equally to all classes and to nil noriions of ihe country.

The sensible and patriotic men of the South are heartily tired ol the treason able tirades of the Southern Press, and wish it, as far as they are concerned , at the bottom of the sea. It is for this reason that I am amazed at Mr. Soule's proposi tion, who has himself but recently return ed to the fold, and ought to have a care even to avoid suspicion. "Another plan is to foist Mr. Forsyth, the rankest Secessionist of the South, as a partner and editor on the Washington U nion. This would, indeed, be an invalu able acquisition, and stamp the national organ of the Democracy at once as a sectional-print, and the whole Presidential canvass a sectional canvass. Mr. Forsyth edited, during the last canvass in Georgia, the Georgia Times, one of the vilest se cession sheets iu the country, and that loo, afier ihe Compromise measures had passed Congress. These antecedents do not qual- lly Air. rorsm tor uie. cunuisuip vi Union , and '. if the Democratic party in Congress were lo aid such an arrangement , it would render itself guilty of an unmiti gated piece of folly.

It appers that Mr. Soule, who was one of the Democratic Committee to w an up on General Pierce with the intelligence of big nomination, has been seeking to secure ihe printing of ihe Senate to the Southern Press, in spite of a contract wliicb lias been made by the Joini Committee on Printing with another establishment. His sympathy with secession seems to have led the Honorable Senator into a little sanscu loiiism on this occasion. Our leaders will also learn from Mr. Forsyth that the Democratic ticket is the "creation and choice" of the Secession Wing of die Democracy. This is a mat ter of too much interest to be despatched in the space thai We can give lo it this niorn-ino-. Wc are inclined to to think it is lite ral I v correct. This fact explains the en thusiasm of Mr. Orr, of South Carolina, in behalf of General Pierce, and the seem ing coolness. of the conservative branch of the Dcmociacy.

Express: With the first dawn of the Presidential campaign, the demon of falsehood, detrac tion and malevolence buckles 011 its -armor snd commences its work of iniquity The toleration is the SpillL Ul vl ' o least regarded by those who profess the most, and harrangae the loudest upon its virtues, and a religious crusade is embarked in against Gen. Scott by a class cf men who by profession are teachers of Christianity .,A followers of the Redeemer of mankind. In the Tribune of this morning appears a letter signed by J. Fuller, a minister resid ing at Clmrchville, Monroe county, i -, i 'which he says "thousands af. ministers - will like him do what they can 'to prevent j T Ythcv have influence, 1 J - I - j j from voting for Scott," and the reason as signed for the exhibition of this vindictive spirit of intolerance and bigotry is given by its possessor in the following words: That this Rev. Mr. Fuller will not " support for President a man who had a daughter edu cated in the Roman Catholic religion, and who himself, when in command of the ar my of Mexico, ordered his men to kneel to a Roman Catholic procession as it passed." This, in the judgment of the Rev. Mr. Ful ler, is a crime in Gen.; Scott that so com pletely overshadows his. forty-five years of service to his country during its mo.t per ilous hours hi that period, as to cull for the ecclestastical denunciation which lie has hurled at this ablest and greatest of living Oeherals. and to justify' the array "thousaud ministers" against him, whom this Mr Fuller vouchsafes to speak for. But as is generally the case with libellers, the main accusation of Mr. Fuller against Scott is untrue. 1 alluae to tne.-cnargu j...i.:'i :.. .....,..,,- ml in the armv of ilexico viiii i .......... .... j . he ordered his men to kneel to a Roman Catholic procession as it passed."

HUCK'S TRAVELS. ii a nr.intnn have favored us wi another, and we believe, the largest series of their popular Library, in the two volumes t t t . .1., , T....i ; -Tsrtarv: Thibet and Ol i 1 tlCh. .1 l.lK.i-- J C'.ina. These books arc instructive, inter- ! esting and very readable. They tell of coun-1 tries' which, so far as relates to mairvers,cus toms, scenery, religious rights, domestic ha bits and indeed every tliifig else, are entire ly unknown, even to the intelligent readers. The novel scenery, the curious adventures, the unexpected incidents, by keeping u? a constant appeal to our love of the marvel lous and love of intelligence, carry us on with unflagging interest. We copy the following description of a mode of worship among the BudhistTartars, which one of our cotemporaries has called 'a beat to Yankee notions," and suggests j for a name, "" j "The Prayer Making Labor-saving Iachine !" machine which theBudd- ; hists make use of to simplify theirdevotion- nl activity, is that of a large barrel, . turning on an axis. P. is nv.de of thick pasteboard, fabricated of innumerable sheets of paper pasted one on another, upon which are written in fine Thibetau characters the pray ers most in fashion. This instrument is called the Chu Kor that is, the turning prayer, or prayer, or praying mill: and it common enough to see them hxed in the bed of a running stream, as they are there :.. ,;r, uv iho w:ter. and ro on pray- nr dav and night for the specia benefit of the persons who place tnem there, i ne T,vf xUn siisnend these , convenient ln- struments over the doors oi men icu.3 the current of cool air may put mem m " tion, and so twirl for the peace and pros perity of the whole-family. Those who have not sufficient zeal and strength to p ace on their backs an immense load of books, and prostrate themselves .' at every step, adopt fi.;- n.thori. and the devoted can then eat, dnnk and sleep at their ease.while ; the complaisant machine does all the pray ing for them. . - f . One day when we were passing one ol these machines, we saw two Lamas enga ged in violent quarrel, and almost coming to blows on account of their zeal for prayer. One of them, it appeared, had come, and having set his barrel in motion on his own private account, was retiring modestly to his cell; when, chancing to tnrn his head to enjoy Ue spectacle cf its pious revolution he saw one of his brothers stop the wheel, and set it whirling again for himself. Indig nant of course, at this unwarrantable inter ference with his conscience, be rnn back, and in his turn put a stop to his rival's pie- Rhode Island, New Jersey", Delaware, Tn land, Virgin ia, North Carolina, Souih Carolina, Geor gia, Alabama, Mississippi, I ifeuisiana, Ken tucky,' Temieee, Missouri, Arkansas, Florida, Texas, lowa-and California vol-, ed unanimously for the Platform. Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Indiana Il linois and Wisconsin voted: for it : thus making twenty seven States of iho Union in favor of the platform. . The only State that voted again-il it u naniniously was Michigan, j Those that voted against it by majorities in the respective fciutcs, ypre iev . iois. and Ohio. The State of Maine voted four fur and four against, being equally divided. So that the table will stand thus States for the Whig Platform ' States against the Platform States divided 1 1 j Total 31 We now poke the. r.bove at some of our captious locofoco brethren, and till them that it is the sense in whiclj lien, ui-uua nomination, platform included, can be called National, and that the above.una nimily of action- in the Whig party embra ces some of the facts upon which we base the nationality both of the nomination and the platform. When the vote was taken on the Whig Platform, there was no 'noise and confusion,' and no coterie outside of which the reading of the platform could not be heard. It vas discussed in open Convention and - was , votcu upon oy eoi State. In the locofoco Convention, it has beenlaid, that hardly any one outside the coterie knew what was enacting. YW. have now set this matter right and mean to keep it so hereafter. ; Easily Satisfied The eagerness with which the Democratic Convention snatched at the last chance ollered to them for making a nomination, remind:!' us cf the story of the old - maid, who, after hay in, for many a weary year, waited ui vam for a matrimonial offer, dreamed-one that an angol appeared to ner dim lister lovers irom. . i i f mocuinpii iip.r wins ii iu k: j f!.!,:u rU re rv ninkn : selection'.
