PpJrit of the Press. The iff Post has a sensible article in reply to the Tribune on the subject of unrestricted or free trade, in which it maintains as follows The Spirit Rapping Case. Our readers will recollect the particulars of the case of Mr. Doughty and Mrs. French, published tn the Eagle some months ago, In reference to that case we find in the Pittsburgh Gazette a statement from Mrs.

French, the medium, which will be round ol considerable interest, and shows her side of the question. This we give below. Wages in San Francisco.

The Charges against Air.

Rlathor The Tote Thereon. The charges against Mr. Mather, and the disposition made of them, may be summed up as follows: The first article charges a corrupt combination with others to distribute corruptly, between members of the two political parties aud personal $6,000,000 of work, under the act of '51; and that thafjamount of work was so distributed. On this charge the vote stood ayes. 6, noes 26.

Her news is four days later. Tho Arctic brings two hundred and seven passengers. Among this large number home ward hound tourists we notice the name of Judge Ingraham of the city of NewYork. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, is also among tho passengers.

Mrs. Stowe while at Paris, remained with Mrs. i Mary Western Chapmam, of Boston, Mass. At London, she was the guest of Messrs. Low, her London publishers and at Liverpool, she resid MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19.

Vermont Election. The Vermont election appears to have astonished and confounded the whigs. This stale has been one of the standard bearers of fedralism ever since tne first contest between Jackson and Adams, and was one of the faith that went last fall for Scott but it now shows symptoms, of falling away from the whip; service and coming into the democratic fold. The Vermont Statesman of the 16th says The Home will probably stand 93 democrats end 28 free Boilers. Tho Senate two or three whig majority.

We have no apace this week to speculate upon the causes or consequences of this reault, or tho moral to be drnwn from it. One tblngis avident.ths rum question, to a great extent, broko Iowd party lines, and the people have taken occasion to gratify whalerer fancy they might have either of friendship or enmity, without regard to party. The Christian Repository of the 15th professes to give tho full returns of the state with the following result Smalt 15 whiga 13 dem. and free soil one lie, (Graud Isle one doubtful, (in Bennington.) Last year, 20 whig, 10 dem. Hounm whig, 82 dem 29 freo soil, so choice in 27 towns.

Last year, whig. 100; dem. S3; freo soil, 38. Now taking the Christian" view of these re tnrn, and Vermont may be almost set. down as a democratic Slate.

There will of course, be some outting and carving when the question of electing a Senator comes up, and it is quite impossible to calculate result. The Washington Union advises the Democrats not to unite with tho Free Soilers, and this advice maybe adhered to enough to produce distraction aud defeat such a coalition as would be productive of success but we suspect that the other course will be pursued, and that a ooalition will take place, and the spoils be distributed between the Free Soil era, and Demoorats. The Maine law will have a majority in tho Senate, but the House will be opposed to it. So it cannot bo repealed. Maine Election.

The. Democrats appear to have the best of It in Maine, and if they can agree among themselves may have every thing their own way; but we have some misgivings about an agreement. The Augnsta Jlge states the result of the election, thus To the House are elected 66 Democrats; 54 Whigs; 9 Freesoilers; to the Senate; 10 Democrats; 6 Wbigs; 15 no choice, the vacancies to be filled by the House. Of these vacancies in the Senate, 6 in Waldo, Oxford and Cumberland, and 1 in renobscot, must necessarily be Democrats Of the 22 districts to be heard from, the Demo crats carried 18 last year. If these are unchang ed, the House will stand 84 Democrats, 58 Whips a Jbreesouers.

Democrctic maioritv over all, IT For Governor, Pillsbury, the regular Democratic candidate will Have about 30,000 votes; Morrill, irregular Democrat, about Crosby. Whig, arjout Holmes, Jb'reesou. about ti.OOO." inis loots will on paper, but wo suspect that the practical result will show a different etate of things. There are two classes of democrats elected and it is by no means certaiu that they can act together. The Eastern Argus makes out but five Whigs to nine Democratic Senators elected, (seventeen no choice ') and classes the House 77 Democrats, (including all Morrillites,) 62 Whi, 8 Free Soil, and not heard from.

The Bangor Mercury, (Whig) makes 69 Whig, 55 regular Deraoarats. 18 Morrill, 10 Fre.fi Soil, and fl to be heard from, ft cleeses the Senate 7 Whig, 6 Pillsbury, 2 Morrill, 2'FieeSoil, 14 no choice. The Morrill men are all for the Maine Law and hostile to the Pillsbury Democracy, and quite as likely to unite with the Whigs ns with the party from which they split. A. letter in the Tribune, too! claims the election as a triumph of the Morrill Democrats and addB There is one way in which the Pillsbury men have a small chance to defeat Morrill yet.

This is by allowing Fessenden to be elected Senator at the extra session, next week. If they should do this, the Whigs will insist upon Crosby for Governor, and thus will probaby get both Senator and Governor. If the Wild Cat Democracy like this any better than the result suggested, of having Morrill for Governor, let them embrace this alternative." On the wole there is a cloud over the Maine election which we trust may clear up satisfactorily. We can't exactly see through It. Mather's Acquittal.

Those who feel an interest in the matter will find a record of tho votes on the impeachment case in another column. The heaviest vote against him was on the ninth artiole, on which there were 18 votes for convio tion and 14 for acquittal. As the constitution requires two thirds this was not sufficient. Judges Buggies (Dem.) Johnson and Taggert (Whigs) voted in the majority Judges Denio, Morse, and Willard (Dem.) in the minority. The vote against Mather on this article was nine Whigs and nine Democrats Not Guilty, four Whigs and ten Democrats.

Important pbom Wasuinoton. A dispatch from Washington says The Russian, Prussian and Austrian Ministers have filed in the State Department, a protest against the conduct of Captain Ingraham. Russia and Prussia side with Austria against the United States. Secretary Marcy's views on this momentous matter are matured, and will probably be sumbitted to the Cabinet meeting to day. These views occupy upwards of 80 manuscript pages.

It will be the grand document of the administration, and will be spread before the riub in a few days. The French and China missions are oeiievea to oe settled names not ascertain ed.

The new Australian steamer, the Golden Gate, made an experimental trip on Saturday, which was eminently successful, and showed her to be faster than the Collins steamers, as she passed around the Atlantic. Her speed was 15 miles per hour.

She is a large vessel of 3000 tons and is fitted up with every convenience. She is to sail hence for Liverpool, and thenoe to Australia. The trial of Rev. Mr. Smuller, of the Dutch Reformed Church, in Kingston, Ulster county, was concluded last Saturday.

A break ocoured in the Erie Canal, near the Busbnell Basin, about ten miles east of Rochester, yesterday morning, which it is supposed cannot be repaired under eight or ten days.

The Sunday Atlas, in its usual column of Custom Honse matters, gives us the following information Ex Sheriff John. Lawrence, of Kings comity, is appointed a Bonded Warehouse storekeeper, in place of Mr. H. H. Stoutenburgh, a relative of the Hone family, and a Whig campaign songster.

Dr. Brooklyn, has been appointed to a clerkship in the office of the storekeeper of the port. Geo.

Charles Demarest, of Brooklyn, has been appointed to the station of order clerk, made two weeks ago.

The Tribune has a variety of small editorials in one of which it gives good advice to the Silver Greys, which they are quite likely to follow, viz that if the ticket made at Syracnso by the Sewardites does gnot suit them, and the resolutions do not come down to their standard, to pluck up courage and bolt. It says "This eternal barking at the heels of a party you detest yet fear to break with, is unmanly and debasing be something or nothing. Put up your Silver Gray ticket, and let us have a four handed contest, or else stop your snarling or declare your independence of party dictates, as we have done.

It thinks that the Softs have killed themselves by planting their party on the National platform. Hear it 'Thus the very resolutions which the short boy convention passed as a trick to savo themselves, will prove the inevitable defeat of their ticket. Indeed, their ticket will run even behind lhat of the 'free democracy' which was nominated by the friends of Gerrit Smith. They have driven every honest man of their owu party from them, and they have nothing to lean upon but a lew rotten The Herald is satisflled that the French mis sion has been given to Hon. John Y.

Mason. Mr. Tyler's and Mr. Polk's Secretary of the Navy, and has a long string of wonderments that such an appointment could be made. It says "Thus much we fully believe: that the mission to France was offered to Gen.

Dix several months since; that ho signified his acceptance, but that questiousof party expediency, north and smith, after a hard struggle, have compelled tho President to drop him." It then goes on io state what is generally known, that Mr. Dix is a man of abundant means, and does not like his present position at all; that he accepted it only to sooth party asperities; and that he expected to leave it for a place more con genial to his feelings. The Herald asks "How will Mr. Dix how will John Van Buren and the soft shells of this state take this pre scription? We shudder to think of it, Mr. Wise of Virginia, and Mr.

Wise's friends, will be disappointed, for they had strong hopes, considering the services of Mr. Wise at the Baltimore convention, that he would finally come in. Gov. Cobb, of Georgia, we apprehend, will think it ra tbw'funny, that after having had thf refusal of this mission, it should be otherwise disposed of, before having made up his mind one way or the other." The Independent, or rather Mr. Beecher in tho Independent, pleads the reasonableness of summer vacation for the clergy of large cities.

He says that the following picture is not over" drawn, and that for months together it is under drawn, and that ten months of it together In enough; that the mind requires a respite; that there must bo a time for recuperation; and that the quietest place where thero are the fewest people, and the greatest attractions of Nature should be sought out as the place of repose. But here is tho underdrawn picture "It is sis o'clock in the morning. The day is begun. The family are emerging, Breakfast will be ready in half an hour. You look for the Iribunc.

The bell rings. A man has called thus early, for fear you might be out. You dispatch his business. Sitting down to breakfast the bell rings, and the servant says the man will wait. But what pleasure can one have ntamcal with a man up stairs waiting for him, and the consciousness of hastening the coffee and the toast on their way You run up.

Can you marry a couple at so and so That is settled. Prayers are had with the family. The bell rings once, twice, tnree times. When you rise, there are five persons waiting for you in the front parlor. A young man from the country wishes your name on a circular lor a school.

A young woman is failing in health by confinement sewing does not know what to do behind in rent cannot get away to the country does not wish charity only wishes some one to enable her to break away from a state of things that will in six months kill her. Another called inquire after a friend of whom he has lost sight. While you are attending to these, the bell is active, and other persons take the places of those that go. A poor mother wants to buy her son's wife out of slavery. A kind woman sails in behalf of a boarder who is out of place, desponding, will throw nimself away if cannot get some means of livelihood.

Another calls know if I will not visit a poor family in great distress, in street. A good and honest looking man comes next is out of work has 'heard that "your reverince" is a kind Another man wants to get his family out from Ireland, can pay half, if some one will intercede with ship owners to trust him the balance. A stranger has died, aud a sexton desires a clergy mail's services. Several persons desire religious conversation. It is after ten o'clock.

From Ihe Pittsburgh Gazette. As a duty to myself, in justice to my family and friends and to the cause of spiritualism, I beg leave to call attention to the following plain statement of facts, and thus disabuse the publio mind of false and malicious charges made within the last few weeks and obtaining large circula tion, with various versions and comments, thro' the public press, charging mo with fraud and deception, and calculated to bring odium upon a great and good cause. From an early period of my life I have been the subject of impressions, which, until recently.

I did not understand, but which I noir believe were spiritual. Many facts are familiar to those who have known me intimately, nnd abundant testimony can be furnished as to the correctness of those impressions. At an early age I became connected with the Methodist E. Church, in which for 14 years, I have always taken an active part. About one year since I first became aware of the fact that I was a medium for spiritual manifestations and communications.

The phenomena was unpopular with the mnss Jueainms were charged by pulpit and press with collusion, imposture, and various epithets. I naturally shrunk from notoriety but believing in my soul that these manifestations were from the spirit world, and that God was, in this age, permitting his ministering spirits to speak to man as they did in the days of the Savior, and that it was my duty (if the Great Spirit so willed it,) to submit to being used as a medium for the good of my fellow creatures, I threw ray doors open without charge to friends and acquaintances who sought to judge for themselves of these manilestations. Nor have I ever received ono cent for the communi cations; nor have I ever, as has been asserted, delivered a lecture on this subject. Since that time up to the present a few friends have continued to investigate with me the great subject. Through mo as an humble instrument communi tions are given.

I am magnetised without the agency of any earthly operator, and without volition on my part. Nor do I ever on coming out of this magnectic statu or trance have any recollection of anything that has been said or written through me. Very many communications have been received through me during tho past year. Most of these are in the hands ol thoao to whom they were given. If in one of these there is a single sentence which the purest mmu may not read, or which will show collusion or fraud, or which does not teach the holy doo trine ol charity, love, peace and good will to man I unhesitatingly challenge its publication to the world.

As God, whom I reverence and adore, is my judge, I solemnly declere if this be not spiritual, I know not what it is. I was not permitted to enjoy my seclusion, however. My name was heralded to the world, branded with infamy; charged with deceiving, and destroying the hap piness oi a lamuy on iiong island, and consigning its head, Mr. George Doughty, to a lnnatio asylum. My acquaintance in this family commenced some fifteen months since.

I was introduced to Mr. Doughty by his sister in law, Mrs. Taylor, in this city, where Mr. Doughty and daughter were on a visit. Some months later.

I was urged by Mrs. Taylor and other connec 1. i i i. iiuuo tu uiu mwuy on ijong tsianu. 1 uitt not wish to go could not leave my children, or the business in which I was then engaged, and wnicn was at tne time yielding me a large profit.

They urged me to go that in doing so I would render the family essential service that Mr. Doughty was a wealthy man, and that pecuniarily I should lose nothing, In April I went on in company with the daughter, who had remained in this city up to this time. One member of the family was suffering with a cutaneous disease (small pox) on my arrival, and of which she died two days subsequently. Some days afterwards, Mrs. Doughty was attacked with the same disease, and in rapid succession every member in the family, except the youngest child.

I remained with them almost alone, (for neighbors and friends feared to approach) treating and curing them magnetically, as thoir certificates will show. When I loft, a sealed package waa handed to me, which I was instructed not to open until I reached home. In the presence of my husbandj opened it, and to our surprise, found in it adoption papers, regularly and legally executed, p.aking me equal with his other children (four in number) in a very valuable eseate. Both my husband and myself resolved to reject and return said papers. Again I was urged to visit the family.

Various presents wero made me upon the plea of affection and services to Mr. Doughty and family, and up to a very recent period, I have been in the week lyreceipt ol letters styling me daughter and sister. All that I have ever received was by the knowledge and consent of tho family, in proof of which I have in my possession abundance of evidence. Also, that other and valuable prcperty was tendered me, which I did not and would not receive. Pecuniarily I am not auy better off at this moment than I would have been had I never met the family.

The charge made that, on my last visit to New York, in February last, I received large sums from Mr. Doughty, is utterly false. And that he made frequent or any attempt to commit suicide after I last saw him, and previous to hia returning to his family, I do not believe. I saw him last on Wednesday, Feb. 9th.

On Saturday, the 12th, Mrs. Doughty and her son in law, Mr. Hallack, called on me. Mr. Doughty was not then insane.

They admitted that they had left him at home, and well. Mrs. Doughty, on this occasion, admitted that what I had received was with her knowledge and consent, and that sho was entirely satisfied, and that I had received nothing more than I had deserved. She had no fault to find with me, but on the contrary, loved and esteemed me as ever. And that, if auy other family had said or acted otherwise, it was without her knowledge and she was sorry for it.

She and her son in law knew that I expected to start for home on Monday. This I can prove. On Wednesday following (viz: the 16tb), she wrote me, directed to Pittsburgh. In this she docs not speak of any attempt at suicide. Many of the facts contained in these letters, and the requests made, I suppress for tho sake of the family, and because I do not believe Mrs.

Doughty is a party to or has any knowledge of these publications, but I am ready to exhibit all should it become necessary to vindicate my character. During my last visit to New York, I saw no evidence of insanity in Mr. Djoughty, nor do 1 believe he is now insane, (uuless it he on the subject of slavery, and on this subject there are many others equally insane, if insanity it be.) That spiritualism Is chargeable in any degree with unsettling the miud I do most solemnly affirm I do not believe but that, on the contrary, its tendency is to calm and sooth him and he in this city, where I could occasionally see him, I should have no fears for his sanity. In conclusion, although I have often been the subject of persecution and misrepresmtntion, I am unconscious of ever haying wilfully ci knowingly committed an immoral act, or of intentionally injuring any human being, and that tlfjje is not an act of my life I fear to have published to a scrutinizing world.
