But again, if this law la so odious, why did not the 'Deincierst,' after lharning of its passage; instead of condemning the law and me in unmeasured. tenni, say. duo Mr. . Chase had mistaken the yoke oldie county, ;that the petit 'fosters for the law did not reflect ftie popular will, and sotrise the'people, at once, to petition for Its immediate repeal. There were rim days intervening betw4M the time of its passage,' and final adjournment of the Legislature; and upon , reeeivin'g petitions, I could have received the court-- 7 Of the suspension of the rules, and repealed it in both liouees'in twenty tninutes. I confess that at first it struck me that the opposltiem was being made for political purposes, to)riltire me and the party with which I acted. It is indeed very strange that the 'Democrat' should not here deemed it worth noticing 'until finally passed, if it is not actuated by party con siderations. I hope it Li'. not so—doubtless it is not —hilt 51101 was my first impression. Again, an attempt is mirde to charge the law up on the Republican party:i; I certainly think this the Wight of injustice. The.fiemocratic party certainly should he a co-partner in., this . busines;, for if I am not greatly mistaken, one of the most prominent pe titioners was Azon LaVeior, Esq., Chairman of the Democratic Central Contruittee. lam sure the Re poblican party has greater principles than any in volved in this bill, mid ''Hope the Democratic has.. Now if this law is found to work badly, and it is found to be uupopulrii, liOw simple and easy the rem edy. It is now bin about six months . before our Legislature meets agaixt,'• and if the petitions are ready, it can be repealed at its first opening, and thus 1 our county be" releaeed from Ito operations. This I seems to me to be far preferable to wholesale cen-.] sure of Your Representative, who has endeavored`to act in obedience to the voice of his constituency, however much he may have misapprehended it. It is certainly a poorindncentent for Representatives to 'act honestly, if they are censured for doing so. It certainly appears to me diet after.all the precaution I took, to cfrerdate ;intelligence. and receiving noth ing against it, and taking into consideration the feet that it was merely an extension to our county of a lair provisions similar to which already exist in some. litikra- counties, none of whirl} have asked for 'ar peal, was prima facie evidence that there could be nothing very odious in it— ', ' , I. I *eget deeply that so many have been disposed to !served the law, and place construction' upon it that werd never intended by the Legislature. I learn that a great many have been frightened into the be lief that farmers could not sell fri`zim their wagonslheir produce, ;awl as butter, noWt, eggs, itc.—and that mechanics could not dispose of their .own produc tions. Nnw all this is simply ridiculous. It was not intended,And does not prohibit this kind of trade, and I am only surprised that the sensible and well informed people of our county ever gave credence to i any such Idle stories. In charity to the originators of this, I hope they are not actuated by a desire to - I I ntalte political capital. Our peOple ought to exercise sufficient charity to wards their public servants, not to condemn, before they know who is in-fault.: they ought to have pride enough to sustain them, until they are satisfied they have been abusing the responsible trusts committed to their care. The petitions. in this case may have been gotten up on the " sly,"austl all kept secret: of course . ' could not know whether they were publicly circulated or not; but I do know that there was noth ing " sly" , or secret about its itvislative history.

Caul'. For the Indepesdesd BF/pub lints. A haply. • lEsaa's &m yourato paper of May 28th I noticed over the signature of "Justice" a, communication concerning the Law against peddling. To some of the remarks and in- Isinuationfrichich that article contained, I de sire to respond briefly, as one License grant ed to a member of a certain firm, seems to merit his' especial attention, and as this seems to have reference to me, I -shall limit my re, ply to the statement he makes with reference to the manner of procuring and uting that License. ' If I ant the person to -whom he al ludes, (and of this I think there is no doubt) it is proper that I should correct his mali cious misrepresentations and stpte the fats connected' with. the case, whith,seems to give him so much uneasiness. He asserts that upon' examining the records, he finds-that on ly three Licences have been granted within two years': That in November 1855 a Lit cense was':orim, tell to a member of a certain firm in Oils County, which entitled him to peddle .one year from Feb., 10th 1856—Ae time he paid )pis License to the Trft- ?Crer; and that this person never -followed the bur,- ' mess of peddling, but that the establishment or firm luive kept from two to three Large wagons constantly engaged in Hawking Goods about the County on this one License, grant ed to it particular Individual on the grounds of " 11l Health." Now "Antic*" if mistaken in asserting that I was entitled to peddle on ly one year front the time I . paid the money .for my License into the Treasury. If be had , exainmed the' records thoroughly be have seen that I did not take my License till November folkiwing the time bpaid for It; and consequently, derived - tio benefit from It until that time. I understand that my Li cense espirea one year from the time I re ceived it ; and trot one veer from -the time F paid the money to die Tresitinier for it.

I shall not discuss at length the propriety_ of the Law prohibiting peddling; but,will mark,.that a failtire or neglect to enforce the old Law; is nets-good argument - in - favor of the new tine. 'Justice knows that the people of this county never demanded such -a prohi bition. Only a few persons interested to pre vent competition, petitioned for its passa.ge, If Mr. Chase had informed his constituents that the passage of such a law was contem plated, he would have found that nine tenthsl of them were opposed to 'it. Indeed, one, of the petitioner; after he found himself affected by the . Law, assured me that it would be a very easy matter to get the. names of nine out of every ten tax.payers in the county, to a petition demanding a repeal. I have trav elled almoet constantly since the passage of this bill, and have _not found one , farmer or mechanic, who knew anything about it until after'its pasange by the Legislature. Why abould,wholesale Peddlers who accomodate the merchants, b 6 :authorized to travel and sell, and retail peddlers who 'accommodate the- mechanic and fariner be deprived that privilege `I ~ Is there any good reason for this discrimination 1. . I can discover none. I' do not intend to disebss this measure hereafter.

TUE PENNSTLVANIAN ON SNOBBLE.:—The Pennsylvanian: has been the advocate-of the sale of the Main Line, and has supported the measure by several excellent articles. For this treason to " the party," the indomitable the eloquent, the inevitable SsunaLi i came down .upon ,the Pennsylvanian: at the late Convention, in one of his characteristic speech- . es. .That,paper does not seemed disposed' to submit quietly to Sxotaitieuibuse, and pays him hack in his ow coin. t is refreshing to contrast its now opinion (it the West- Branch blackguard, with the fulsome adtila tions it showered upon him hist fall. le - Alow says of him . " While this SCIINALLE was rioting iu New York and 'gaining, for himself .an tmenviable notoriety;' the Pennsylvanian was battling for Democtatic principles, and its influences have been •felt by opponents and acknowl edged by friends.. The nex.t.remark spade by M. ScnSAm.s requiring comment, was the expression of his opinion that would not be a bad thing fur the . Pennsybanian coino out in favor of Black . Republicanism, and not be nursing its inclinations," and that the paper was with out " character." and other essential require ments,. We shall not bandy words-with this ScUNARLa as toeharaetr, Where we were I born, have lived and donealusines.:s;our rep .utatian.stands unimpeached ; wli&e be lives, and where bel . has sejourued temporarily, he has acquired a renown only for licentiousness and a reckless disregard of all the decencies ie. AS to his puerile intimation that the paper should. change its political course, and embrace the heresies of the opposition, the idea is but the maggot of a diseased brain, engendered by-the rank lest of his own van ity, which we are free to adMit use may have stimulated by lauding his efrorts - in last fall's campaign, when we took the glitter of his speeches for the solid gold of consistency, and. biped that advancing years ,had had. with them those reforms.of which he stood so much in need." • 'This is the portrait - the Tennylvanian ._. ,, rawsot the man Who has - promised to stump very county in the State - fur Gen. Packer:_ Two Opinions of the Mainline in Contrast ! The readers of the Penasylvanian—vrhich yesterday contained the resolutions, pas4ed by the State Committee, held at liarrisbUrg, on the ninkinstant, and, also, the opplication of henry S”fott, President of the 13oarsl of Canal Commissioners, to the Judges of the Supreme Court, for an injunction to restrain the Pennsylvania Railroad Company from bidding for the main line—doubtless were startled by thehold and wonderful contrast between the declaration of the Convention on the one part, and the declaration of the President of the Canal Board on the other part, on the value of the Public Works au thorized to be sold! Extract of the resolution paised , by the Democratic Stale Convention : "That the,assage of the Act by the late , Legislature e titled "An Act to pi ovide fur the sale of Main Line of Public 'Works, ' was a wanto disregard of the best interests of this Commonwealth, and of the principles of sound legiShition: That whilst in name it purports to be a sale of works which cost the State nearly twenty millions of dollars, it, is intended to !be, in reality,' a gift of those works to a ie.poration." Extract off s the application of Henry .S. Mott, President of the Board of Canal Com missioners, te the Judges of the Supreme Court: " The Cc4ls aforesaid are two hundred and eighty-three miles in length, requiring heavy e.ependituree for repairs - and expens'es, and hare not. or many years yielded loco - me sufficient to pay the cost of keeping them in. navigable order." Surely, in our advocacy of the sale of the Public Works, we have never detracted from the value of the Main Line, as does the President of the Canal Board. And now, since the statement. is male by the head of the Canal Depirtment, that "for many years" the divisions of the Main Line west of Colum bia, have not "yielded income sufficient, to pay the cost o keeping them in navigable or der," we ere well assured that the law au thorizing the sale will be judged right by the people, - even if it be clamored against by those who have cared more for the control of the Publio Works than for the revenue of the GammoniAiealth.

A young man, who was making biskets in•the barn, was found outside sometime after in convulsions, which lasted for a considerable space. A woman and a girl in. a southerly direction from the barn saw this singulat vis itor, apprimehirig and attempted to lies to house near by, but did not escape front the. track. They were both taken off their . feet and thrown across a fence. Their dresses were torn and their persons slightly bruised. An elderly, man who was in a field beyond, also saw the cloud coming towards him, find had sufficient presence of mind to prostrate himselfupon the ground. He wa's unharmed; although an apple tree within ten feet. of the spot where he gay was , wrenched from the earth. From this place the .sloud passed on for a distance,of a half mile before doing any fur ther damage of consequence. Here it struck the Baptist parsonage house, occupied by a liebotting man named John' Warren. Mr. Warren was also warned of the approach of the calan - Aty with which he was visited. lie heard the loud, buzzing noise with which it was attended, and witnessed its desolating ef. feets on the track it had pursued. He hast ily gathered his wife and six children and at tempted to get.theth into the cellar. When the house was attacked, Mr. W. and five "o the children bad already gained this retreat, and Mrs. Warren and the other child were preparing to follow. The frame work of• the house was whirled from its stone foundation, and removed a distance . of three rods, where it struck right sides up. It was again lifted, however, and returned towards the foundation it had left. This time it landed upon its side and was -left a wreck. Mrs. Warren and the boy who, with her, was yet above the cellar, were found near the cellar wall. Mrs. W. lived 'only about an hour , after. Dr. Day expressed the belief that she died front- the electrical iiboa she had receiVed. There was no severe in juries upon her person, and her death not easily accounted for iii any, other way; than suggested by_ the: Doctor,'_ The boy was, attacked by convulsions, and it was thought o at one time that he might not survive. We learn, however, that be was . in a promising condition yesterday. One or two of thechil. dren in the cellar received some slight bod ily-injuries. One' was nearly covered with portions of the cellar wall, hut. was speedily rescued from his unfortunate p,os ition. Five rods distant-from the parsonagehouse was a barn, which was totally, demolished— crushed down, as if a tremendous weight had *Ruled upon it. , Hens and pigs hereabouts were found dead by those who_viewed the spot. - The whirlwind proceeded on its coarse, tearing up trees and prostrating fences, until it reached anothr • barn, five rods distant, which was twisted out of its place. It was whirled almost squarely about, and when left by the power which assailed it, only one cor ner stood upon the original foundation.. Pities of it were blown twenty and thirty rods, and some evensixty rods from the spot. • The next building attacked was a barn sit uated about one hundred rpds beyond. This, building seemed to be lifted into the air and then blown to -fragments, very few of Which were to'be found. Where , they' went to is a mystery to those who beim visited the locality. This was the last building attacked by the whirlwind, which, however, continued for some little distance beyond, as is indie.a ted by the prostration of trees and 'fences. One tree was blown a distance of one hun dred rods from the spot where it had grown. The great body of the cloud which passed over the track of destruction seetßed to be less than halt a mile above the earth. The arm Of it which descended to the earth, seemed to maintain its connection for a space of five minutes.' During this time it moved in a direct line, S. S. E.. at a rate of a mile in three minutes. The extent of the waste laid, is a mile and a half or two miles. The width of the track was fifteen rods or there abouts. . The progress of the whirlwind was attend ed by a ,loud roaring, produced by its fe.ro-' cious internal tempest But, outside of the track of the whirlwind, there was no wind of 'unusual violence. In Utica, about half' an hourrafter, there was alleavy thunder storm. At. Schuyler, hail fell instead of rain. - A short time after the whirlwind had pass ed, messengers came to Schuyler Corners for medical aid.
