lis of the world. Thence, via Dover, across
"the ,Channel to Oslend, in Belgium, from
hence-we went -by rail-way lo Ghent, Mo-
li-n‘e'.e., 'A‘ix-la-Chapelle, and arrived at Go-
logiie, last Saturday. From Cologne, on
Monday morning at 5 o’clock, we took the
giearner up the Rhine—pa_ssing the most
bisliorically interesting’ portion of the old
world, to say nothing of izs picturesque
granileirr and c__aslled beauty. We arrived
at Magenco at. about 4, -from whence we
took the cars for Wis-baden,one of the prin-
cipal watering" places of Germany, and a
most lovely town, in fact ihelmost beautiful
we saw in all Germany. From Wisbaden,
afzer ‘a three hours visit, we left for Frank-
fort on the Main, and remained till Tuesday
friorning, when we again took cars (along
the banlrs of iheRhinr=,) for Darmstead, Hei-
dlebu rg,'C‘arlsbrue, Baden Baden and Stras-
-l)0u!'g'. From Strasbourg, we ticketed or
“booked-“I as "it is lgrmed on the Continent

of Liverpool, London, and the many other
distinguished cities we have visited. We
admire Paris, however, much more than any
of the other transatlantic cities. At Cologne

, By the last slearn-er we sent a hurried ac-
count of where we had been, but had no lime
‘to chronicle 'w/mt we had seen. We were
:always a close observer of men and things,
‘and we have taxed this our natural faculty
to the utmost in efforts to see, hear and know
all that can possibly interest or profit the
‘ American reader, on this side the ocean. To
"give our observations :1 little systematic ar-
.rangemcnt, we wiil occupy the liinils of
this episzlc with a narration of our hurried
fyi-t cxicnsive tour upon the Continent. It
is but a little more than a week, since we
left this city in the cars for Dover, a brisk
little English town on the banks of the
. Channel, where we took the Belgium slea-
nier for O.-ttend. The mode of embarkaiion
at this point, is quite trying to weak ircrved
men and timid females,aslhere are no docks
food you have to board the steamer in little
boats, sonrewliat similar to the ancient mode
ofvtaking our steamers at Gregory's Point,
only that the voyage is much longer and
.tar more boisterous. One. boat load came
n_e_ar being drowned in consequence of-iis
‘ 0W*l'l(rtl(le(l slate and the intoxication of the
‘ sailors. The boat reached the steamer,~how-
‘ever, rliough full of waterand would have
-.sunk in one minute more. The passage
across the Channel at this point is usually
.z.made in about four hours, but owing to a
..slrong head wind, with a stronger current
-‘against us-, and a dense fog for an accompa-
-Igglialllefll,-\V8 were until 6 'o’clock next mor-

capstan, with in little _ force, the. shell that
was left of us, would have drawn down

to a dense rain, the seas were short and the
steamer danced about worse than I mouse in
a bot "skillet Every one about us were
“enjoying the same blessing,” drenched
through and through, without the power, if
we had the desire, to gel below ; we were no
object of merriment, however ludicrous we
may‘ have appeared, for verily .we should
have been willing to glvo the Captain a
dollar to throw us overboard. Without
strength en--ugh to hold_ ourselves erect, we
were compelled to lash ourselves fast to the
belaying pins, and »after spending the whole
night. in this condition, at 6 o'clock A. M ,
we made our debut into Belhium-—“pa-
tience on a monument." Here your pass-
port and luggage is taken from you and ex-
amined before you can proceed. Perhaps
it. would bevvell to inform the reader that the
less baggage. he carries the better, and that
he must be sure and have his passport
“vised" by the diplomatic agents of every
country be intends visiting (except Russia
where no rise is required) before leaving
England. London is the most suitable place
to get it done. The cost is about $1 for each
vise or endorsement. Oslend is little known
save as a very fashionable watering place
for the “upper ten" of the neighboring
states, during summer, although. in conse-
quence of its being connected with continu-
ous lines of Railroad with all the principal
cities of Germany, Austria, and many on
the Mediterranean, it is the most convenient
port of entry in Northern Europe. The
town itself has no particular objects of at-
traction, save its ramparts and fortifications,
which are necessarily common throughout
all Europe, as every other man you meet is
in soldier‘s uniform. From Ostend, we took
a ticket to Ghent, stopping at Bruges. an
ancient city which occupies a very promi-
nent place in the history of ancient. Flair-
ders. In the middle ages it was the great
commercial Emporium of Europe and the
residence of merchant princes. Six canals
meet here,and although the thoroughfares of
trade are comparatively deserted. and the
magnificence of its ancient architecture
princ.pally attracts the eye, it contains more
than 45,000 inhabitants and is said to be fast
regaining her former prosperity and wealth.
, From Bruges, you soon reach Ghent, a
rich and populous city, full of beautiful edi-
fices, and thriving manufaclories, mostly en-
gaged in making linen and cotton thread and
printing calicoes. On the annexation of
this city to Holland, it is said to have increa-
sed in opulence and power under the patron-
age of William I,who-protected its indus-
trial inletest. When it reverted to the
hands of its present dynasty, its inhabitants
predicted a decline of its prosperity, but it
seems not to have proved true. The politi-
Cal history of Ghent is familiar to most of
our readers and too extended for any notice
from us. Here ‘it was that the lamented
Henry Clay, in conjunction with Mr. Ad-
ams, Bayard, Gallaiin and Russell, conclu-
ded tbe treaty of Peace with GreatBritain.
It is probably the prettiest town on the con-
tinent and numbers nearly 100,000 inhabi-
I-ants.
After leaving the above city we ticketed
for Meclllima large town in the province of
Antwerp. It is old and antiquated in sp-
pearancr.-,though possessing wide and regular
streets, spacious squares, $6., and several
fine buildings, among which is the Collie-
dral, which although unfinished, has a tower
350 feet high of massive Gothic structure.
The arsenal, the town house, a Franciscan
monasterey, and an asylum where are 800
widows and aged females. It has manufac-
iories of fine Lace and Linen, Damask. Silk
and Woolen Stuffs, besides the celebrated
Mccklin Thread Lace. It has also many
breweries. It was here that we saw the first
genuine Jesuit Priest, and to us it was :1 ‘cu-
riosity quite equal to any in the Museum.~—
We wonder Barnum has never had o‘ne'on
exhibition. They haven sort of broadbrrm
cock-ode looped up on three sides,wiih alight
fitting blackalpacca or broadcloth gow n,bui-
toned down to the toes, with a trail three or
four feet long appended to the rear, and
croopered up with a string, resembling more
a travelling mountebank, than a christian.
Here you take the cars for Brussels, passing
through Vilvorde one of the most ancient
towns in Belgium. It has an immense Pris-
on which is much visited, and the principal
church contains many curious specimens of
carving in wood. Here it was that '|‘indall
the first English translator of the Bible, suf-
fered martyrdom in I536. It is now noted
for an excellenlfemalc boarding school, more
than anything else From this point you
soon reach Brussels, the capital of the king-
dom, a fine old city of nearly 150,000 in-
habilants. It was in this city that the
first Peace Congress ever assembled. in Sep-
tember 1848. This too is the city of which
Byr0n,Scolt and Southey, have sung, and
the Yankee traveller who now Visits it will
compluinof their culogiums, Ira history,
replete with a succession of eventful scenes
and tragical dramas, is also familiar to the
well infoinred reader. At one time depopu-
late-d by the plague, caused by I3 months of
consecutive ruin, at another, its citizens deci-
mated by the atrocities of the Spanish Re-
gent, by ¢l¥il wars, religious persecutions,

as they seemed to me, without any particular
regard to the politics, for it was not vrhully-a
litical journey. _ _ A
We started from New York on Monday,
Erie Railroad. Passengers are first convey-
ed on the Patterson do Rainapo train to Suf-
ferns, which is a station on the Erie Road, 1'8
miles from Piermont--here stands the noble
cars, atleasl one-third larger than those of
any other ‘road, on theirwide and secure
track,,rearly to convey you westward to Dun-
kirk. All freight must come via Piermont
upon the Hudson river. Just about dusk the
huge train commenced tearing away from
Sufferns. The night train is composed of
night cars wbichhave very large seats, with
high backs and deep cushions. They are very
cornforiable,and a person of strong nerves
and courage would have no difficulty in_sIeep-
ing the night. away. They travel very rap-
idly on the road ; every mile you come to a
painted post, labelled with the nurnber of
miles from N. Y. I looked at the dial of my
Watch and found that we were moving frnni
post to post in from 70 to 80 seconds-—this
was the uniform momentum for hours.—'--
Travellers do not retire at any particular time
in these cars. The usual arrungernenisfor
sleep seemed to be a general preparation of
pocket bandkerchiefs of various colors into a
sort of rude night cap, which were thereupon
applied to the uses for which they were con-
siructed—-then an elevation of cost collars to
their utmost extent in order to bring the face
into tolerable obscurily— furthermore a fold-
ing of the arms together--then a desperate
e ort for a comfortable lounge, after which
I observed quielude would gene.-allyensue‘.
Now and then I noticed sleep would be a
stranger to a pair of eyes, andthe unhappy
owner would either give utterance lo a series
of extraordinary yawnings or else exhibit
some extravagant panlomine in a promenade
from car to car in the useless effort to make
time pass faster than it is wool in its course.
Daylight dawns be fore you get to the flour-
ishing town of Elmira. You have rolled
onward during the night for many miles on
the banks of the Delaware db Susquehanhah,
through fertile valleys, curving around the
sides of high mountains half wayqup from
their base, and in one place leaping on a
bridge from cliff to cliff And such rapid
transitions from open fields to woodlands-
frour rivers to mountains and deep embank-
ments—one may well give this road a trial
with all its dangers in consideration, for the
sccnery is romantic in the extreme and many
objects are magnificent beyond description.
Beyond Elmira the country has a wild ap-
pearance; you go for miles without seeing
any buildings except those erected by the
Railroad Co. for the road. The forest has a
primeval appearance, and had I br-en.travel-
mg in Oregon I would not have expected to
see anything more wild. What would our
economical formers say if they should see
trees standing dead and without foliage ‘Z-
vvby clear them away and use the wood for
fuel. In western New York wood seems a
trouble; I should judge that the pioneers there
cleared the country by fire—by the sword
probably first.
It is 469 miles from New York to Don-
kirk. Thc length of the Erie road is 445
miles-—thelor.gest in the country, We were
just 19 hours in going by the express train
from N. Y. to the terminus of this road. I
was told that after the Isl of August they
were to make the passage in sixteen hours.-
Du ring each trip the locomotives are changed
three times, for the reason that too rapid or
long continued running would beat the nr.a-
chinery, and the friction would so effectually
destroy the nicely of many pieces of steel em-
ployed in its construction, as to disable it and
render it useless. On the road are 180 loco-
motives, which most cost at least $l0,000
apiece, over 1000 passenger and 2000 freight
cars. Passengers have opportunities of
taking breakfast and supper or usual hours,
so that one need not starve unless it be a vol-
unlary afiair on the part oflhe individual.
Dunkirk"at the terminus of the road is a
new place, and has a new look. It is des-
tined to become. a large city. providing it
can have an appropriation from government
in the way of ilreimprovement of the liar-
bor. There is no safe place for vessels in
case of a Sturm'on Lake Erie; it needs a
break water and must have it or else it is
doomed. Even at a moderate breeze, the
sleainboals at the long pier of the Railroad,
were so uneasy, by the waves, that the boat-
men could unload their cargoes only with
the greatest difficulty ; in storms any are
forced to put out into the lake, or run down
to Buffalo for protection. Cmnnrllnication
is now had from Dunkirkto Buff-rlo by the
State Line Railroad. recently opened, dis-
tance 41 miles Buffalo is a beautiful city ;
the streets are very broad, and the houses
large and tour or five stories in height.-
Soineof the finest sieaniboals in the world
run across Lake Erie for p0l‘lS onthe eastern
shore of Michigan, we saw one, the South-
ern Michigan, that was built to run in con
necrion with the new Southern Michigan
Railroad. It wasa magnificent boat, appar-
ently with four series of-rooms, one above
the other ; as I saw it move away from the
dock like a giant, with itsbrrnd of music,
and hundreds of passengers—-I wished I was
aboard of her, and one of our party was so
anxious to go, that we could hardly hold
him back. From Buffalo to Niagara the
distance is 22 nriles. They called it going
down to‘-Niagara, although it is in unorth-
erly direction ;. it is becauseglhe river was
towards the North Pole, I suppose. You
‘go down onibe huge banks of the Niagara
river to the Falls in an elegant manner. It

more and more angry as it rolls‘ down; and
three miles below foi‘nrs'g_tremen‘rlou's whirl-
pool. °One ‘prominent view of the great
Niagara is from:-Table R_ock‘,«oa the Canada
side. The ‘portion of this rock that is left
will soon go. ‘There is’ a fracture-—-a‘ foot
across, on; ._the'n'p‘persid’e, and full twenty
feet from the part over the abyss.‘ The vol-
ume of watcrvthat passes over the Horse
Shoe Falls is much greater and more "fierce
than of that on_our side; here the tide is so
savage that nothing but the bulwark of
rocks could keep the united waters of the
five lakes from s'a‘eeping,lhe whole country
away, and__t,ak.,in9: the vrhole of Canada and
a part of York state into the ‘Atlantic
Ocein. But it is all rock-bound; and the
river below is rock-bound,'and its banks are
nearly as high from the river as the distance
to which the river descend.-r at the Falls.
Even the rocks about the Falls are wearing
or crumbling away. and on both sidesof the
_river there is a general excavation on an
average of from twenty to thirty feet; over
which the banks overhead hang. _
From the depths below, into which the
waters are ‘charged overlhe precipice; a
vs hite cloud-of evaporation, like smoke from
the crater of a vo|cano,arises perpendicular-
ly to the sky--into wlriclrlfrom all points,
the "prismatic colors of the, rainbow can be
seen, standing in bold relief against terres-
trial objects or the nzure. hinder the Falls
the ebullilion oflhe waters is so violent that
it has the whiteness of snow.
Fifiy years will make a great change in
Niagara. There are three large hotels in
the place, close to the cataract. ‘One new
on'e,'ju'st "completed, is called the Interna-
lional,and is nearly as large" as the Irving
House in New- York. It is a great ‘place
for Indian toys; though the larger quantity
islmadc by white folks. °i‘You now and then
see a squaw sewing away on the beaded
trinkets. As air appeal to your sympathy,
she generally has a live pappoose resting on
her knee, done up in close bandages of tight
barks so that it can’t stir. At the time we
were in Niagara there was an immense mul-
titude of persons everywhere. Many that
went for the legitimate object of attending
the Convention, very probably spent a part
of their time in viewing the greatest curios-
ity in creation. It is about a two ‘miles
walk from the battle. field It was very steep
up Lundy’s Lane, and-the lrill had been cut
down many for a road; making quite a gap,
We found the Canadians very‘ affable and
obliging.-and not hostile as had been pre-
dicted by the papers. On,the battle ground
there is l.wo tall towers forviewing the coun-
try about. Our party went to the top of the
highest, which was called the Pagoda, from
which we got a very comfortable prospect
of the country around us for about forty
miles, in every direction. W'e could see
lakoes Erie and Ontario, Niagara river and
rapids, and Brock’s monument with its frac-
tured tnp. ‘he Canadian. connlrv there
looked very well; but one of their own peo-
ple told us that it was a dead country, and
that there was no sprit for public improve-
ment aiming the inhabitants.
From the Pagoda to the Suspension
Bridge the distance is three miles. The
Suspension Bridge isa great curiosity. The
first wire was thrown across, so my guide
book states, by flying: a kite over. A strong
bulwark, on both sides of the river, support
bundles of wire, in the shape of cables, as
large as one’s arm ; from which small wires,
an eighth of an inch in diameter, are sus-
pended. The platform is hung and held up
byllbese wires. On this platform one and
two-horse teams with loads pass. and also all
of the pedestrians. It is a frightful place.
Tire bridge is 230 feet above the river, and
the depth of the wnterunder the bridge is
250! There is a short turn in the river, so
that the Falls can be seen only from the
American end of the bridge. The cataract
is two miles above the Suspension Bridge;
but they are so extensive and roar so thun-
dering loud that it does not seem more than
ball’ as far H
Of the Celebration;-—it was a grand af-
fair. The military came from abroad, and
many of our states were represented on the
parade ground. The Kentucky regiment
was the identical one that had served under
Gen. Scott in Mexico. It was under the
command of Col. Williams At the battle
of Cerror Gordo a bronz cannon was taken
from the Mexicans b_v this gallant band.
This same piece of ordnance was on the
ground and was a great curiosity to all. It
was a lung six pounder and bore the stamp-
ed date of 1773. On it was the prints ofa
man’s hand. It was done in the battle A
Mexican was sabered at the gun and in fall-
ing over grasped the hot cannon with his
bloody hand and the marks remained. After
the battle the Americans tried to burst the
“piece hy filling it with powder and sticking
the muzzle in the mountain; but as they
could not, they brought it home. Iliad this
from one of the volunteers who had served
in Mexico. _

The Two Platforms, No. 3.
Although llrrerrteued with “ a fire in our
rear” we shall attempt to continue our discus-
sion oftlie party creeds in accoi dance with our
original intentions.
VVhig platfurnr is as follows:
“ That while struggling freedom everywhere
enlists the warmest sympathy oflhe \Vhig par‘-
ly, westiil adhere to the doctrines oflhe falli-
cr of his country. as annouirced in his farewell
address, of keeping ourselves free from all en-
tinigling alliances with foreign countries, and of
never quitting our own to stand on foreign
ground ; that our mission as ii Republic is not to
propagate our opinions or impose on other
countries our form of government by artifice
or force; but to teach by example, and to show
by our success,rnoi.leralion, rindjustice, the bles-
sings Of self government and the advantages
of free institutions.” I
Upon the subject matter of the foregoing res-
olutiou the Democratic platform is silent. except
so far as may be gallrered from the final resolu-
tion tlrer;eol', which in substance declares “ that
in view of the condition of popular institutions
in the Old -\Vorld,"' it becomes the duty
of Americans to sulrjer-t themselves to the
control of the manufacturing interest of
England, and to which is super-aoded some
tlrreadba re clap lra p aborrl the Union.
Now, it appears to us, that the Whig resolve
above quoted, conveys the exact sentiment.
which should be cherished by every American.
To plunge this nation into the vortex of Euro-
pean politics would be an act of simple folly ;
torattempt to intervene in European wars would
be utter insanity. We have a coirtirierit of
our own; replete with every thing that. can con-
duce to the comfort or the luxury of man, and,
above all, a continent, where. for the first time
since Eden. ram: REPUBLICANISM has made
its honre. Let us take care of ourselves ; if
the “Old World" instigated by “our example”
shall see fit to introduce popular. instead of
monarchial institutions, let us bid them God
speed; our interest and our duty bid us do no
more. ,
\Ve come now to the doctrines respectively
entertained upon the subject of internal im-
proverneots. The Loco Foco platform de-
clnres, “that. the Constitution does not confer
upon ‘the, general government. the power to
commence and carry. on a general system of in-
ternal improvements." The Whig sentiment,
on the other hand..is this; “the C0D5lll“ll0fl
liarbors,-and remove obstructions from naviga-
ble rivers wherever; such_ impi'oVen’Icnts are
necessary for the common defence.-"mid for the
protection and facility of commerce with for
