To judge from the conduct and ideas of some per- V eons among both sexes, respectability consists in v i-; driving fast horses .wearing rich laces, drinking cham- piuraef or Idling away lift.

To cultivate a moustache, ■port a " two forty” trotter, or act as a model exbib iter of coats for some fashionablo tailor, seems to be . > 'the conception of a dignilled and respectable carocri v • formed by not a few ot the men. Now, being respectable, in either mon or woman, is, to our notion, doing what la duty. Tho poorest -'..person,even In what is considered popularity,the humblest avocation, who pays bis debts, obeys the 1 law, and fulfils his other obligations to sooiety und to his fellow-creatures, is a thousand times mororespeot- •' able than the wealthy idler, the educated spendthrift, 'the callous miser, or tho fashionablo fool. So tho modest female, whether seamstress, book-folder, ' press-tender, storekeeper, or even house Beavant, Is, - (a the tree sense of tho word, infinitely more respect- . able than the extravagant wife who is ruining her husband, than the thoughtless votary of fashion, than ■ the butterfly flirt. In a word, worth, not wealth, ■' .constitutes respectability. , t . ': Again. It is what really u, not what merely seems „ to be, respectable, that men of sense honor os such. TbeTnillionaire, who has obtained wealth by knavish , wore pl&oed In carriages, and a prooossion was formed and proceeded to the Oity Hall, where tho formal reception by tho oltiscns of Delaware took place. There is much enthusiasm, and on evory hand he Is greeted with demonstrations of respect. On reaching the City Hall the President was In troduced to the cltisens by Dr, Askow, after which Mayor Alderdice weioomed him to the city in a cor dial address, to which the Presidont responded, re turning thanks for tho onthusiaatlo warmth of tho welcome, but excusing himself from a longer address being prevented by a cold which ho had contracted last night whilst addressing the oitinma of Baltimore.

Unde Tom Not an Apocryphal Character. A correspondent or the N- Y. Evening Post sug gests that the aged-black man, Pierre Tousaalut,who came to that city nearly BOycara ago, from St. Domin- S o, and last week closed a long, useful and blamoless fe, might, if Mrs. Stowe could havo been supposed to have known him, havo sat as the original of the portrait to which she gave the name of Uncle Tom. Toussaint Is spoken of by all who knenrhimaan ^ man of the wannest and most activo benevolence, the gentlest temper, and the most courteous ami graceful yet unassuming mnnncrs. The successive pastors ot St. Peter’s Church had all the same opinion of him, and it is said that when the present pastor came to bury him, he observed that he had not such a man left among his congregation. The following Bhort notice at nun appeared the other day in two ^‘ ,r Hb was?»rn in tho servitude of 8t. Domingo, and In devoted attendance upon hla mistress in her flight from that island, arrived in this city in 1788. Here the former dependant became the sole support or the unfortunate lady and her most disinterested friend until her death. The occupation of ladies’ hair-dress er gavo him admission to the houses of the influential families or that day, and his good manners, nuusuai discrimination of character and high sense of propri ety, ensured him the countenanco, courtesy and es teem of all to whom be was admitted, and the confi dence and friendship of many to whom tho excellence of his life and character were more intimatoly known. All knew his general worth, but few wore acquainted • with the geoeroua qualities of his heart, and with those prinolples of disinterested an which governed his dally conduct. His obarity was of the efficient character which did not content itself with a present relief of pecuniary goodness, springing from refined and elevated prin ciple, and from a sense of religions duty which never permitted him to omit a most scrupulous compliance . with ail the requirements of his faith, formed the - prominent feature ot ills character, and rnado his life ft constant round of acts of kindness and sympathy. By auoh a life, governed by such principles or integ- : ritv, charity and religion, Toussiant secured to him- ‘ self the respect, esteem and friendship of many of our flrat citizens, and though death has made the circle . small In which be had moved, there are yot remain ing many vrbo will remember his excellence and worth with tho kindest appreciation.” ’ It la related of a gentleman, formerly of New York, distinguished for the wit and point of his conversa tion, tost he waa one /lay talking with a lady, who - instanced Hyde de NeuvIUe as more fully illustrating her idea of a perfect gentleman than any other per son she had known. He replied: “The moat per fect gentleman I havo ever known is Pierre Tous- saint.” Toussaint died with tho gout, which is esteem ed a gentleman’s disease. It is remarkablo that with ' ail bis charities, he died possesed of a pretty good property—some $30,000. Ho wasted nothing on him- ■elf, ana managed his affairs with good sense. AHoteL • Some Idea of tho expenses attending upon a large " hotel, inay be gathered from the following, from a correspondent of the New Bedford Standard, who writes ftbont the United States Hotel, in Boston : “ The hotel occupies 33,000 square feet of ground, hoi 380 rooms, easy accommodations for 550 persons, and capable or lodging and boarding 800. There are 130 made and female employees divided into ft dozen " different department*, each bating a responsible head ■noh as dinning, rotnndary, office, porter, kitchen, V baker, &©.

The Asparagus ror Great effort* are makit^bytbe Jwwns papon to dtsaflbot Union Democrat*, by attempting to abow that they hate not been fairly treated in the aelectlon of candidate* for offloe In this State. They are told that Johnson, a Southern Bight* Democrat, ha* been nominated for Governor, and that Baiusy, Colquitt and Dknt three Southern Right* men, have been nominated for Congress in tbolr rospootlvo District*. They ramembor to forget that In the alxth Distriot Mr. Chiislatn, a Union Democrat, ha* been nomina ted by the Democratic party, and that In the seventh the only Democrat* running are Union men. Now 1* it not a little lingular that these Jenkins presses should have to much sympathy for Union Democrats, and none whatever for Scott Whigs ?— Wo find by reference to tho Whig Almanac, that in the last Presidents! election the Boott ticket received in Georgia 10,060 votes, and the Webstbk and Jen- kina ticket just 5,324. Yet now, whon the timo has come for the destrlbution of honors among the Boorr and Webster men—what do wo And? First and foremost, an auti-Soorr Whig la made candidate for Governor. Looking further, wo see Stephens, (anti* Scorr) Reese, (antl-SooTT) Tiuppr, (antl-SooTT)— and not one Boott man nominated ’for Congress. In tho fourth Distriot, where, we suppose no Webster- its desired to bo a candidate, the party has actually held a couvention audTCCommcnd aUnion Democrat, rathor than bring forward a Scott Whig. In all tbe Districts In which Whigs aro certain of election, Whigs who bolttd tho nomination of the Whig Nation al Convention aro already in tho Held. Nor aro tbo . Webster men yet aatlsled—so eager aro they for offico themselves, or ao determined to exclude tbe friends of Gen. Scott. In this District, tbe RepuUi- can, (so full of sympathy for Union Doraocrata and so little thanked for it by them) Ib using all its influ ence to havo a gentleman nominated who refused to BUbuun Scott aud Graham. Not a Scott Whig has been nominated in tho whole State. Weill we do not intend to distress ourselves at their fate. Wo were, as is well known, opposed to Gen. Scorr as unworthy of Southern support—there fore we need not complain should tho Jenkins party punish ail who voted lor him by excluding them from office. We presumo they have the right to do it; though we confess our surprise at their boldness in attempting it. And wo shall bo equally surprised should their victims quietly submit to It. If they do their example will not hereafter bo without its influ ence. Whigs will, in future, know what they have to expect, if, after sending delegates to a Whig Presi dential Convention, they shall dare to Bupportita nominee in opposition to tho commands of Messrs. Toombs, Stephens and Jenkins ! Montgomery and Pensacola Railroad. The views which we havo frequently advanced as to the prospective prosperity and population of Pen- Bacoia are fully sustained by the Montgomery Ad- vntiser. From the lust issue of that paper, we make the following extracts bearing on this point: u Montgomery .cannot be diverted, by threats or persuasions, from her purpose of constructing the railroad to Pensacola — Her couree lies boon decided on after folly and carefully examining tho matter in all 1U bearings. It Is not to build up Pensacola to the injury of our only aeaport. It Is our own welfare we think wo aro consulting In that railroad.— Montgomery is not and never has been hostile to Mobile. Sho needed a railroad connection with tho (Julf—aho Ml'irr hare it or Buffer Msrloua decline. Pensacola offered to meet her at tho Florida lino, with means to construct the road to lhat point. Mobile, to build up which eho has contributed no largely for twonty rears, Beamed Indifferent to any similar railroad project. Instead of a>rotchlng out her hand and means to us. Mobllo has nubnorlbed a million dollars to a road well calculated to impair If not destroy our prosperity, unlosa wo have a Hpcedy communication with the Gulf. It la fully now for Mobile. Girard, Greenville,*or any other town, indlrldnal or Individuals, to persuade or threaten Montgomery. Penincola will bo' tho terminus of our Gulf road, let the consequences be what they may. If It is bad policy, wo aro resolved to ruallie It by actual experience.— Wo aro not to be controlled In regard to this road by any combination in* any quarter. Those disposed to offer ad vice may as well keep it to thomsolve*. Uur courso Is fixed and our eyes aro turned to tho best harbor on the Gulf, and less than three years will wltnois tho completion of tho road. •-The question is not whether Mobilo shall bo tho tcrml- nus*of our road, but whether, if completed, Pensacola wilt become a large city. Wo admit that capital la scarce now at Pensacola, but in eighteen months, or less time, it will flow thither in quautitioa sufficient to alarm Mobile \f not Horn Orleans. Tho unrivalled position of that city, so sure ly to bo connected by railroad with ono of tho richest back countries in the United States will attract millions of do!* lara to be employed In every branch of business Cotton will go to tboro by tho hundred thousand bales, and thus save thefifty cents a bale for lighterage now charged in Mobile, as staled by Mr. Lockxcood, in a recent speech at Camden, Wiltcojs courtly. With our road to North Alabama finished to the minoral region, which will be undertaken next spring, Pensacola will a1*o become a great depot and mar- kotjfor coal, iron, lime, etc. Her miraculous growth from this summer forward needs no argument or figures to demon strate.." Tho people of Montgomery, and of tho soctlon of Alabama south of her, in deciding to connect them- solves by railroad with Pensacola, instead of their own seaport, aro governed by tho same principle which builds railroads all over tho world. That prin ciple is scIMntorost. They havo, aud can havo no hostility to Mobile. But tbBy believe tho perspective advantages from a connection with Pensacola greater than those to be derived from a connection with Mo bilo. Consoqiie”tly they havo determined to go to Pensacola, though to do so will cost them more than to reach Mobile ; os the latter city is now ablo to subscribe much moro largely than the former. For onrselvos, a3 citizens of Savannah, wo rejoice at tho prospect of tho completion of both tho road from Montgomery to Pensacola, and of that from Pensacola to Mobile. Cant ao with that Crowd !—A Hcott whig has called our attention, and desires ns to call the atten tion of tho public, to the political complexion of the delegation appointed by tho Jenkins’ ratification meeting of Savannah, to the Ilomesvillo Union Con vention. One of thorn he says is a Pierce .& Kino whig, another a reformed democrat, another a Pierce & Kino Filibuster and tho fourth ono of the editors ol tho Republican, while the secretary of the meeting that a appointed them is ono of Gov.

Wjlminqton, July 12.—Tho boat with tho Phila delphia Comniltteo of Reception, reached Wilming ton shortly after 12 o’clock, and marched iu proces sion up Murkot-st., a portion of tho Committee par took of a collation at tbe Indian Quocn,aud tho other returned to the boat followed by the President aud suite. The embarkation took placo amid tbe firing of canuon aud (ho huzzas of the multitude. After the boat readied Delaware city, tho Mayor of Wilming ton handed over hla guests to the Philadelphia Com mittee with a few appropriate remarks. Tho Presi dent was received by tho Hon. George M. Dallas in a beautiful address, in wliich he highly approved of the countenance shown by the President to the industry of the country In attending tho opeuing of the Ciystal Palace. President Pierce responded as follows: I receive with tho deepest emotion this expression through you, on the part of the citizens of Philadel phia. I rejoice to hear yon say, Sir, that it is with one accord that I am welcomed among you. I know that my recoption is to bo the reception not of me as an individual, but of me as their servant, and while I recognize that relation, Sir, I also recognize another, and shall always—that I am their representative— the representative or their interests and tbolr honor. I intend, Sir, that neither shall sutler in my keeping. I am obliged to you also, Sir. for expressing your ap- S robation of this short absence from tho peculiar eld of ray uuty. It was a matter of extromo doubt with me, Sir, what I ought to do, but I am now sat isfied that I came to the right conclusion, because I have tho approbation of tbe Intelligent citizens of Philadelphia. [Cheers.] During tho few moments that wo have been upon this storied Delaware, with tho shores of Pennsylvania on tho one hand and New Jersey on tho other, is it not with yo4 as it is with me, impossible to bring your minds to dwell on the present and tho hones of the future ? My thoughts arc involuntarily back-tamed upon that great and noble past which yonr State and your citizens bore. I do not suppose there are twenty men present who havo not, since wo came on this boat, recollected that in 1777, perhaps about 60 miles above, the most re markable movement of the whole revolution occurred in a moment of such darkness, when tbe cloud closed around onr fathers, and that army crossed tho Dela ware in winter, to a march, leaving their blood upon every foot track of tho way, and changed tho future aspect to our expectations. When upon oil these things 1 dwell, at this moment, with un unusual do- gree of feeling, I remember tho cherished memories of tho revolution, tbe sacrifices which were mado for our liberties, the privations and tolls aud trials, sir, which purchased that glorious Union of which you have spoken, will make it dear to us all as long as we may live ; [applause] and, sir, my hope to transmit to our children, not tuo mere belief, hut the convic tion that, how great auy State In this Union may be, it is nothing out of this Union. [Cheers.] Every word I say, Mr. Dallas, is a knife in my lungs. I thank you heartily, and I feel a degree of pride and gratification in seeing Mr. Rusk, Mr. Ingersoli, your self and these gentlemen, who have contributed so much to tho honor and fame of your country—much moro than it will bo in my power to express. I thank tho city of Philadelphia for tho reception which she proposes to give me, and thank her especially for the way and through the men she proposes to intro- duccrae. Tho company then sat down to an entertainment spread by Jones’ Exchange Hotel, and spent an hour pleasantly in partaking of the viands. Salutes were fired as tho boat passed Chester, Fort Miffin, Gloucester, Koighn’s Point and Camden. The boat took the Jersey channel on tho passage up, go ing dose to tho Jersey shore, and turning opposite to Kensington passed close to the city front. Every wharf and vessel were covered with a moss of people, aud tho shipping were gaily decorated with flags.— Tho U. S. steamer San Jacinto and Receiving ship Union were decorated with flags from tho deck to the mnst-hend. Tho President landed In Philadelphia punctually at 4 o'clock, and was received at tho Navy Yard by Com. Read, and a large number of Naval officers in full uniform. On landing a salato was fired from tho Battery, and the Marines drawn up with presented arms. A procosfiion was then formed and tho President, supported by Com. Read, marched up the yard head ed by tho Band. The President retired to tbo Com modore’s office until tee military escort was ready, when lie mounted a horse and passed out of tho gates The City troops formed a guard of honor and after a review tho President took position in tho centre of the troop and tho procession took up its lino of march.— Throughout tho whole route tho Presidont was receiv ed witli cheers, waiving of hankerchiefs, &c. On the procession reaching Independence Hall, the President was officially welcomed to the city by May or Giinin, in a brief but appropriate address. The Presidont roso and was received with renewed enthu siasm, and responded as fellows: “ Mr. Mayor and Citizens of Philadelphia ■’ It grieves mo that I am physically unable to respond to this most hearty and touching welcome. Sir, my heart is full of gratitude to you, and full of gratitudo to all this pcopfo who havo placed you in tho position which you occupy. I did think that I had tried in ray day to do some little for my country, but such a day as this makes a man’s heart overrun with gratitude to a people like the inhabitants of Pennsylvania. I have been much surprised—aye, sir, filled with the pro- fonndost awe, at tho manner in which yon have re ceived me. Philadelphia is a city of some mark. If your mountains and valloys did not teem with tbo ele ments or comfert to your population, if your citizens in all timo bad not been foremost whenever the coun try has wanted their aid, if your institutions of learn ing were not among your proudest monuments, tho Bingle fact to which you adverted, air, that from here proclaimed the Declaration of independence, would put Pennsylvania and Philadelphia on a pre eminence which, in tho Providence of God, no other Stato or city can ever cDjoy. [Applause.] Sir, I feel as you do that we must bow—wo can hardly do any thing else than bow—before these recollections and associations. I feel bow inadequate is Innguage, sir, and you also feel it when yon come to speak of that icriod. Language don’t reach it, sir. Our hearts lonorit in all depth, power and fullness, I hope. Those men of whom you have spoken, who planted hero tho institutions of a free Government, let us re member, were no holiday patriots—they were no scheming philanthropists—they were no visionary statesmen. They deliberated amid the difficulties that surrounded them here—they meditated amid the clamors of arms as though environed by peace and absolute security, and they solved tbo great problem whioh was a terror to despots and an inspiration to patriots, and as though the Issue did not Involve the question of their necks. Sir, here stood—(and as I say it, how thoy come before us)—here stood Thomas Jefferson, and Franklin, and Roger Sherman ; and also, perhaps, far this is tho first timo I have been bore, in this very roomtatood the dauntless John Han cock, as he received from thoso men not only the as sertion of onr rights, but the charter of our liberties. Can wo do anything but bow in a placo like this 7 It is not in my power to speak to you at length^- You have said, very pronorly perhaps, that it is not yonr province, it is certainly not mine, to disturb the deep current of feeling which courses the hearts and minds of thoso around me. But it ia not only your city but yonr State that possesses, in a peculiar de gree, tho resources of wealth and power. She Is an empire in herself.

The beautiful frigate Savannah is now ready for sea, and only waiting orders and men. Her officers have all reported themselves for duty; and as she now lies fully equipped for service, (men excepted,) she looms np the most noble vessel in our navy. She is visited by strangers and citizens, and is an object of admiration. Her destination is supposed to be tbe coast of Brazil.

Those classes with their InUucuco. cast an Immense number of votes, and if they can be secured, nre sufficient to turn tbe scale of pop ular suffrage In our favor. For the sake of perfect harmo ny It will be necessary to glvo each of these classes a por tion of tbe offices, which you aro aware will be utterly im possible If we contlnuo under our present name. Having shown a portion of tho reasons why It is expedl* ent to nbandoo the namo of Whigs, it is next to show a reason for assuming the ouo proposed. We might tell you Hint California 1ms great and peculiar interests almost to tally distinct from that of either of her slater States, and that It would be Improper to bo guided by tho party lines and party namos of tue Atlantic side ; but we only ask, can a hotter or more appropriate name than that of Cali fornia Republican, be chosen ? It strongly expresses two, and but two distinct principles—Callfornlanlim and Repub* llcanlsm: tho subordinates tbe new party can arrange to eolt itself; the name will not necessarily connect us with any of tho Atlantic questions : we can adopt or reject a portion of tho principles of either purty ; we aro pledged to nothing but California, tho Nation of the I'acljto.

Fourth op July.—A very good account is given by a Canadian paper, of a dialogue passing betweon a Yankoo and a Britisher. Tbo Briton remarked that tho celobration and observance of tho 4th of July, would soon pass away and bo no more tbonghtof. This apparently roused the iro of tbe Yankee, who, rais ing himself to hla fall height and turning to our ac quaintance, said: “Now. mark mo stranger, tbo first thing yon'll hoar read on tbe day of judgment, will bo the Decla ration of American Independence, and that day will be the 4th of July too.” General Scorr.—It will be remembered that Gen.

Cuba,. The Now York Times, of tho 12th instant, contains two letters from Havana, dated the 1st instant, from which wo learn that tho accounts from the country are quito disheartening. On one plantation they havo lost two hundred and eighty negroes from chol era. The Chinese havo also suffered terribly. In some instances tho whole number taken on the estate havo been swept off If it comes to tho city, it will mako sad havoc added to tho yellow fever. The into news from England and Spain lias pro' duccd quite an excitement in regard to tho slave question. Tho most positive orders have been re ceived, there ia no doubt, from Spain, to put it down at all hazards. Zuluota and Fnrcada, both large planters, nre already in prison. It is said there is an order for the arrest of Parqjo and another considera ble character. Negroes of the late importations aro brought in almost daily from the various plantations. These proceedings have thrown great despondency cm the planting interest. What the result will be it is difficult to say. At this moment the old Spaniards nre more bitter against tho Home Government than tho Creoles. Should they unite, good bye to Spanish ascendency. I verily believe thnt if a single rifle reg- imeut of filibusters were to land anywhere on tho isl and, they would tako it without the loss of a man.— The island was never in a better state far an expedi tion of the kind. Tho Black Warrior arrived too late last evening to .proceed on her voyage same day. She will leave this morning, at 8 o'clock, for Mobile. Wo have well-grounded information of two moro landings effected on tho coast by tho incorrigible slavers—ono near Matanzas, eovoring six hundred ; and one at tbe Isle of Piues, said tone five hundred and forty or five hundred and fifty. We shall havo full particulars for next steamer. This all jingles so consistently with tho labors of refutation now in pro gress in the offico of our Secretary of State, and so confirms tho reports of my Lord Howden, that there can Iw no longer any doubt of the entire good faith of Cancdo, anv moro than there could be of tho honesty of Martin Galiano, his former Sancho, What U Democracy I Liko all other names of tilings, it implies whatever tho peopio mean who use it, in the particular coun try where it is used. Hera in America, it does not menu tho whole body of the people acting for them selves and legislating en masse. It meaiiH, wbon used to designate tho farm of a government, tbo po litical system of tbe people who govern themselves by chosen representatives, who aro required to do their will, and who are chosen from among the mass of tho peopio for tbeir known or presumed ability to serve tne noople, and for thole acknowledged or re puted preference for a measure or sot of measures such as tbe people who elect thorn advocate and de sire to havo adopted. Wbon used to represent the principles of a party, it Is intended to imply tbo larg est political liberty ; tho nearest practical apprach to equality; tbo sovereignty of, or inherence of all po litical power in, the body of tho people ; the strict accountability of tho chosen representative to tho peopio who chose him ; tho obligation of the govern ing agents to so govern tbo whole peopio as to confer the greatest possible amount of benefit upon the greatest possible number of them; and the duty of all thoso who hold delegated power, to bear con stantly in mind that scriptural idea, that “ The ser vant is not greater than bis lord ; neither lie that is sent greater than he that send him.” This is what wo mean by democracy, in this coun try ; and woll should thoso who apply its principles to themselves, or who claim the name, under pretend! of bolding the principle, scan themselves, lest they make themselves ridiculous in the cyeB of the world, and incur tho scorn of tho wisowho see through them by palpably unfounded pretensions.—Bajfalo Bcpub. Cure for a Cold. It is well known that celebrated singers arc liable to bo seized with sudden colds, which are only vari ations of the air-" I don’t want to sing.” We find in Meyerbeer’s new German Monthly tho following account of an effective cure for such cases : “ Tbo celebrated Handel wrs ono evening standing at tbe leader’s desk, just as tbo bouse at tbo grand opera was beginning to fill, when a messago was brought him from the Signora Cuzzo, his Prlma Don na, that she was seized with a sudden cold, and could not sing a note. Handel sprang forward as if bitten by a mad dog, ran in tire greatest rage to tho lady’B apartment, broke open tho door, seized ber in hfe strong arms, and carried her to the window. “I know,” cried be, “ that you are a sotan *, but I will conquer you. If you will not consent to sing this evening, I will immediately throw you out on the sidewalk below.” The fair Italian had nothing to say In answer to this strong argument. She sang the same evening liko a nightingale. “ What is the height of a woman’s ambition 7 Dia monds.”-- Punch.
