THE GAZETTE. LEWISTOWN, PA. Thursday, February 4, 1858. Notices of New Advertisements. The Receipts and Expenditures of Mifflin county—No tice of an Election—Executor's Notice—Storehouse and Dwelling to let. ft sThe Lewfstown Onictte, with its usual regard for truth and fairness, represents Us as saying that the local shippers are cwitejit to pay the tonnage tax. We used no such language. pro\cd, satisfactorily, we think, that the local shipper really pays the tax, and sahl.'hrthev are content to do so. why Tepeal It?" The Gazette alleges that they are SOT content to pay it—thus virtually admitting they no pay It; anil If they do. pray what heroines of the IHisitlon of Gov. Pollock that its Imposition diverts the produce of the wf-t upon competing railroads and toother markets than Our own? And whilst the Gazette has Ms hand in, will it be good enough to inform us what evidence It has, that, in case the tax were repealed, the local shipper would not have to pay the Same rates he now does? The repeat of the tonnage tax on coal aud lumber has not been followed by the promised corresponding reduction on the imght of those articles. What guaranty have we, then, that the company, and not the local shipper, would be the only party beneUtted by Its repeal? When the Gazette answers these questions satisfactorily and convinces us that the repeal of the tonnage tax will not simply be rob bing the Treasury of that amount and putting it into the pockets of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, we may, perhaps, adopt Its view of the question. Until we are so convinced, we claim the privilege of opposing the repeal, and mean to exercise it, regardless of the Gazette's wither ing s;ircnsm or the potent (with some editors) power of the aforesaid company.—llollidaysburg Standard. We do not think the first part of the above article at all important, although it still appears to us that the Standard's first comments, even with the If, justified an implication that the local shippers were content to pay the tax. Nor is it material what Gov. Pollock's opinions were. We come then to the question whether tho " local shipper would not have to pay the same rates he now docs," in ease the tax were repealed ? Is not this begging a question on the part of the Standard ? If the principle of taxing trade is wrong, such a consideration has nothing to do with it, and ought not to be entertained for a mo ment. But the likelihood is that on many articles the freight would be somewhat re duced, or other inducements held out that would enable the shipper to do business to better advantage. We have no means at hand to know whether there was a reduction in freight on lumber, but we do know that since the repeal of the tonnage tax a large quantity of lumber has been sent to this station from points in Blair county, which was not the case previously. There could be no robbing the treasury "where the State would be doing a simple act of justice. We contend that the peo ple along the line of the railroad who use M. it for the purpose of conveying then- pro ducts to market, in addition to paying a State tax equal to that imposed on other sections, are now paying about one mill more on all their assessable property. The consideration for which this tax was im posed lias passed away by the sale of the public works—has now become a wrong, and contrary to the principles that govern trade on other roads, whether rail, plank, or turnpike. If it is right for the State to tax iron, flour, wheat, Ac. shipped from llollidaysburg on the Pennsylvania I'itil road, why not tax the same articles passing from one point to another in wagons, sleds, and other modes of conveyance. What would a farmer coming to llollidaysburg with a wagon load of grain say if, after paying turnpike or plank road tolls, a ton nage agent came along, got the weight, and reported that there was 81, 82, or 88 due the State, for bringing his load over those roads? Would it not have an extraordina ry sound to his ears? Yet this is precisely what the State does as regards all produce sent over the Pennsylvania Railroad, and with all deference to the opinions of others, it strikes us that he who can discover a difference between these two modes of con veyance must be an adept at splitting hairs. Our first duty therefore is to ask the .State to repeal this imposition, because it receives the money. That done, it will le time euough to shriek out "monopoly" and other corresponding terms calculated to catch the popular breeze, when the Pennsylvania Railroad will refuse to make any alteration in its charges for freight. If the company is making money enough with its present rates to pay a fair dividend, as well as the three mill tax, then, in case of a repeal, they ought to make a reduction correspond ing with the amount repealed; this the public would demand, and when it does so with any degree of unanimity it is not often thwarted in its purpose. r fJje editor of the Standard, like many other individuals, seems to pride himself on his opposition to this repeal, and takes every occasion to make a fling at the road. Now will he for a moment lay aside all other feelings and candidly examine the following propositions: lit. Is (lot.v-ctic tra-ii- a proper a til, Jen, of taxation by tbeSlAtC? 21. The consideration, fur which any specllK" tax was levied, having passed away, is it righuto contliV *uch taxation In one part of the State only T 3d. Is such a principle democratic? These questions are so simple that any ] schoolboy could answer yes or no, and we hope therefore that the Standard will give us sound reasons for a negative, should he so answer. Like him, we are open to con viction, and if he cau give us any other answer than that the railroad, like all other corporations or associations doing a large business, is a " MONOPOLY," our ideas of what is just and right may come nearer his own than they have been on this sub ject. Our opinions on this question never hav ing undergone any material change, free passes, to which we suppose the Standard alludes, were not necessary to buy us —and so the officers of the road probably thought, for from its opening until 1858-4 we held none but paid our fare in all cases. Since then we have had two or three local ones, some of which were never used, and last year we hod oue from Ilarrisburg to Pittsburgh, with which we made three trips to Ilarrisburg and one to Millerstown. Our bill for printing last year was 8< .50. IV e state these facts merely to show those who see the Standard, that if its fling at potent power was intended for us, it comes out a small potato. have given most of the docu ments relating to Kansas heretofore, and to-day add the testimony of Mr. Stanton, late Secretary of that Territory, who, like others, went there a full-blooded slavery man, but could not shut his eyes to the base frauds perpetrated by a set of men whom the administration at Washington so strangely upholds. It seems to us that this corroborative evidence of all yet. appointed to office, ought to satisfy Mr. Buchanan that his co#feo Is wrong.

Napoleon Bonaparte was fired at on the evening of January 14, at Paris, by three explosive shells. Just as lie reached the Italian Opera.

Jgy- The coating ixt the jail wall we no ticed the other day is crumbling off, pre senting a very unsightly appearance. TV e do not know to what cause it may be at tributed, whether poor work, poor material, or the season at which it was put on, but it ought to be looked after and if possible a remedy applied. Bgk,(leorgc Frysinger was re-elected on Monday last by the Town fouTjcil as Man ager of the Lew is town "Water Company on the part of the Borough. At a meeting of the Board on Tuesday evening, the resignation of John A. Ster ett, Esq., was handed in and accepted, and on motion Henry Zerbe appointed in his place. (ieorge Frysinger was then elected President for the ensuing year. Xo notice having been published for an election, the old board by the terms of the charter con tinues in office. FAI.SK REPORT. —A report that John ( Kennedy of this place had failed was ex tensively circulated in Centre county du ring the past few weeks, no doubt with a view of injuring his business. There is no truth whatever in the story, and the only wonder is that as Mr. K. in nine eases out of ten pays the hard stuff for his pur chases, especially pork, Ac., such a thing should gain credence. lie lias at the present day as much specie in his vaults as some banks, and challenges those who have articles in which ho deals to test his capacity for paying GROUND HOG DAY. —According to the old weather signs, if the ground hog came out on Candlemas day and did not sec his shadow, it remained out, portending there by that the winter was broken; but if the sun shone and it saw its shadow, the ani mal returned to its hole, where it remained j for six weeks, for which period winter . weather would continue. Now whether! the winter i broken or not is a mooted i question, for it was cloudy until nearly 12 ! o'clock, when the sun came out warm and pleasant, but about two again clouded over ; with a sharp western wind , m Some contend j that Mr. Groundhog appears in the middle j of the day, in which ease we may imagine that he shook himself and returned to his hole; while others allege the day prognos ticates a short winter. Our wishes are de cidedly with the latter. TEMPERANCE MEETING. —The Wash ingtonians held their weekly meeting in the Town Hall on Tuesday evening. The in-, terest felt by the public in this movement was manifested by the attendance of an unusually large audience of ladies and gen tlemen, who by their presence endeavored to show those desirous of reforming that | they wished them GIKI speed in the noble work. Addresses were delivered by Messrs. Warner, Stratford, Dr. Bower, Belford, and J. A. McKee, several of whom however wc regret to say were grossly and shameful ly interrupted by one man, though probably aided and abetted by others; so much so that proceedings have been instituted against him under the act relative to dis turbing religious or other meetings. 44 For bearance'' in this respect "has ceased to be a virtue," and all who hereafter visit the hull on such occasions for the purpose of violating the decencies and proprieties of' life, may expect similar treatment. Bb?' F. A. Allen, Esq., whom many of our readers will remember as an eloquent speaker at the Teachers' Institute held here last fall, paid our town a temporary visit on New Year's day, and in a letter to the McKean Citizen, of which he is editor, thus writes: " Lewistown, the place at which we are writing, is a town Of some 4000 inhabitants, situated on the Kishacoquijlas and Juniata. It is a very pretty town, the county seat of Mifflin county. We were here in September last, assisting in an Institute, under the di rection of Co. Supt. Iluwn, a young man of zeal and truo worth. His first Institute was a triumph. He has a uoblo corps of Teach ers, and they are doing good service this win ter. The Teachers of the town have an asso ciation which meets every Saturday A M. We had the pleasure of meeting with a few of them. * * "We took a stroll along the banks, of the ' Blue Juniata,' and wondered while passing along whether this was the 6pot where, ' Wild roved an Indian girl, might Alfaretta.' " There is one thing sure, we found seme wild girls in this village, but they are fine Teachers. The schools of Lewistown are not such as they ought to have. The people are opposed to the co-education of the sexes, and notwithstanding thek zeal in other things, they can never reasonably look for good re sults as long as they adhere to a system so radically defective as this, and one which is so at war with all our better feelings. It is certainly contrary to the laws of our being ; as to us, it is quite evident that it strikes at the foundation of the true principles of odu cation. With a large and well furnished school building, suitable for convening the children of the town, suitably graded, with the males and females together, Lewistown would have a system of schools of which she might justly feel proud, and the fruits of which in three years' time would convince the most skeptical on this point. We trust tbs Teachers will work a reformation there." Who are the wild girls referred to in the above letter?
