The Cuban Movement. The New York
Courier says :
As to the Cuban expedition, we It-am
"from an undoubted source" thai it is in a
forward state of preparation, and it is repre
sented that Ihe utmost care has been taken
by the loaders not lo violate the neutrality
laws of United Slates. All the arms and
ammunition required have been procured
abroad in large quantities, arid is now de
posited without thu bounds of the United
States, in a depot known only lo a few of
Ihe leading spirits. Not even a pop gun has
been procured in Ihe United Stales. The
men are to leave this country as emigrants,
unarmed, and will sail from different ports
and, it is calculated, in such a manner that
no suspicion shall go abroad as to their ac
lual destination. The measures or the Rev
olutionists have been taken with great cir
cumspection, and, it is only to bo feared,
that those who embark in this expedition
will meet Ihe bloody fate of their prede
cessors. Canadians and the late Daniel Web
ster. Says the Toronto Globe: "Ho was
undoubtedly a mind among n million. He
was the incarnalion of thought. In his ad.
dresses, ideas followed each other as logi
cally as a mathematician proves his problem
lie was a man of facts, likewise, with exten
sive knowledge, and liio power of clear elu
cidation. When he considered a subject he
exhausted it. On public questions involving
far-reaching ami contending interest, his
speech has told all that could be known npo
Ihem ; every fact mentioned, and the small
est as keenly and closely dissected as Ihe
greatest. Jyin to this the force of a strong
will, a confidence in his own power, which
was justified by his greatness, and you have
the man who has been regarded as iho great
est American of the age, the most powerful
pleader, the most profound lawyer, the best
expounder of the constitutional question, and
Ihe gieatesl diplomatist of iho nation.
A Patriot's Prayer. Many years ngn,
on a well remembered occasion, when the
union was undergoing one of those tests
which threatened to rend it in twain, Daniel
Webster closed one of the most soiil-s'ining
speeches which lie ever delivered, with the
following glorious sentiments :
When my eyes for the last time shall be rais
ed to behold tlu sun in heaven, may they not
gaze upon the broken fragments of a d hon
ored but once glorious Union, upon Sialps
dissevered, discordant, belligerent ; upon a
land rent with civil feuds, and drenched, it
may be in fraternal blood. Let their last
feeble and lingering gaze behold the glorious
ensign of the Republic, now known and hon
ored throughout Ihe earth, still full high ad-vanced--not
one stripe erased or polluted,
nol one slai obscured, but streaming in all
their original lustre, ami bearing for its mot
to no inch miserable interrogatory, as
"What is ail this worth V nor those of Ihe
words of delusion and folly, "Liberty first
and Union afterwards," but every where,
spread all over in characters of living light,
blazing on all its amplo folds, as they float
over the sea and over Ihe land, anil in every
wind under Ihe whole heavens, that other
sentiment, dear lo every truo American
heart, 'Liberty and Union, now and forever
one and inseparable.' "

O- The allotment of the contracts at
the letting of Ihe Susquehanna Rail Road,
at this place, on Wednesday last, will be
declared at Baltimore on the 23d inst. The
Baltimore directors could not wait for the
preparation of the bids. Hence the post
ponement. tU" Our Courts. Considerable busi
ness has been transacted in our courts the
past two weeks. Judge Hegins took Ihe
place of Judge Jordan in a number of cases
in which the latter had been interested.
KF The weather has been most un
pleasant Ihe past ten days wet under foot
and wet nbove, yet not much rain after all.
A number of rafts, have come down the
river but the water is rather too low below
this place for sale navigation. When once
the Susquehanna Rail Road is completed lo
llarrisburg, and the Philadelphia and Sun
bury road to Poltsville, Sunbury will be
one of the best points on the Susquehanna,
for the lumber trade.
tLT" Butter. The people oi Milton it
seems are complaining ol the high price of
butter. Hutter generally goes up in price,
at this season, but it is now higher here
than it lias been for some years. 10 cents
was generally the highest price, but it is
now selling at 13 cents per pound. The
Democrat censures the merchants for their
rivalry ia raising the prce of provisions.
ttJ" Salt Rivuii Tic kets. In another
column our readers will find a true copy of
the ticket, necessary for a passage up Salt
River, which we procured from a whig
friend, to whom it had been sent from
Philadelphia. Our whig Iriends should be
careful, as they may be imposed upon by
spurious tickets.
0" Gr..v. Pierces Carinbt. A great
many cabinets are now making lor Gen.
Pierce by the politicians and the various

presume, will be the one he will adopt.
THE CONTESTED ELECTION CASE.
On Thursday morning, Judge Jordan
delivered the opinion of the Court in the
case contesting the election oi John P.
Purse I as Register and Recorder and Clerk
of the Orphans' Court. Mr. Pursel it
will be recollected was elected over Mr.
Martz at last October election by a major.
ily of 19 votes. The petition, which was
signed by thirty nine voters, alleged cer
tain irregularities in the proceedings, and
at a number of the election districts, and
also that a large number of the tickets vo
ted for Mr. Pursel, were headed lReiristr
and Recorder" only, the words "Clerk of
Ihe Orphans' Court" having been omitted.
It appeared also that a number of the pe
titioners had signed the petition in blank,
no particalar charges having been set out
until afterwards. The Court in their de
cision, dismissed the nelition nl llin mm.
plainant, askin ' an investigation, on the
ground that the charges contained in the
petition were not set out on the naner
signed by the contestants, but were after
wards attached to the same.
HP" The letting 0r the Susquehanna
Rail Road at this place, on Wednesday
last, brought together here, a number of
men of mark. Among these we had the
pleasure of meeting Francis J. Grund, Esq.,
well known as "Observer" the able and'
talented corespondent of the Public Ledger.
Mr. Grund's letters are probably the most
popular of any that are written from Wash
ington. In intelligence and learning he
has few supeiiors. We are glad to see
him visiting the interior of our great State
"taking notes" as he always does.
ffT"" Consolation. The editor of the

SUNBURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOK1N JOURNAL.
OEM. PIERCE AND OEM. SCOTT.
"Donkeys will be 'donkeys, even if the
vole of an overwhelming majority should
declare Ihem to be horses. So of Mr.
Pierce an amiable, kind hearted, worthy
and honorable man J but no more lo be
compared to his defeated antagonist than a
Satyr to Hyperion." v
The above, from the Danville Democrat
of last week, is one of the curiosities of
political history which sometimes dcvelope
themselves after an election. Previous to
the Presidential election, we were nol sur
prised to see such exhibitions of fancy,
because it was necessary to shew, in order
to satisfy those who did not think gunpow
der achievements constituled statesmanship,
that General Scott's only qnalifications
were not all based on his military abilities.
We can hardly believe, however, that
any intelligent man who possesses any
knowledge of Gen. Pierce and Gen. Scott
would compare the latter with the former.
As a man of learning, talent and statesman
ship, Gen. Pierce is as much superior to
Uen. bcott as Daniel Webster was lo the
most ordinary man in the Senate, or in oth
er words as much superior to Scott in
statesmanship as Scott was to him in mili
tary affairs. II even anything was want
ing to shew Gen. Scott's inferiority, out of
his profession, it was his late electioneering
speeches. These shew not only a want of
talent but want of judgment and discretion.
We do not mention this to the disparage
ment of (Jen. Scott, but in justice to Gen.
Pierce, whose modesty is only equalled by
nut merits.
RIXIHRY AND ERIE RAILROAD.
The Engineers on this road were on the
ground making surveys between this place
and Northumberland, on Tuesday last.
The Milton Democrat says, they will com
mence the permanent location of the road.
and prepare it for contract, nest week, and
that the track will be laid on thai side ol
the river.
ART INHIX OF PHILADELPHIA.
me Art Union ot Philadelphia was1
established by its founders, and incorpora-
ted by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, for !
the purpose of extending throughout the !
American community, that attachment to !
the Fine Arts which is distinctive of na- !
tional refinement and civilization, and by
this means to encourage the labors of Ame- i
rican artists, by creating an increased ;
amount of patronage for the benefit of Hip '
Painters and Sculptors of the United States
now dependant wholly upon individual
support.
The promoters of this undertaking savs a
colemporary consider (his object as not less '
important to Ihe morals than the taste of
the community, aud, in attempting it, they j
have adopted Ihe following plan : j
firxt: Each person subscribing Five1
Dollars, becomes thereby a member of the
Art I nion. j
Second: The money obtained from 1
such subscriptions is appropriated, in the '
first place, to the production of large and
costly engraving, (rom original American ,
pictures. Ihe residue, after paving the
necessary expenses of the Institution, is
made the basis of certain certificate. f i
various amount and value, u hich are annu
ally distributed by lot, among the subscri- '
bers, and these certificates are available lor !
thtpurchase of sculpture, paintings, draw- !
ings, and other works of art, from Ameri
can artists, but for no other purpose. -They
are redeemed by the Association, only on
the endorsement of the Artist or Artists,
from whom the purchase is made.
Third: Each subscriber is entitled to
one chance in the Jistribution of certifi
cates, and to a copy ol the engraving issued
for the year for which he subscribes: and
each additional contribution of five dollars
entitles him to an additional chance, with
the privilege of selecting other engravings
from among those previously published by
Ihe Art Union.
It may thus be easily seen that the dis
tinguishing and most important feature in
the plan, is that which gives the annua
prize holders Ihe right ol selecting Iheir
prizes from among the productions ol
American Art in any part of the United
States.
This plan was adopted as one which
would best secure the object f jr which Ihe
institution has been incorKrated, viz:
"The Promotion of the Arts of Design in
the United States."
It is evident that the distribution of fifty
prize certificates among the members, as
was the case at the last annual distribution,
with which prize-holders themselves could
puichase their own pictures any where in
Ihe United Slates, is preferable to any plan
which empowers a committee, composed
of a limited number of managers, with Ihe
entire right to control the funds involved
in the purchase, and make the selection of
such a number of pictures.
It should be remembered that there will
be at least fiffy donaled pictures added to
the list of prizes this year. Some ol them
are of extraordinary merit, and really gems
of art. The present exhibition at the Gal
lery, No. 220 Chestnut street, is the best
tree Exhibition ever made in PhiladeL
phia. There are some of the finest pic
tures from the celebrated Carey collection
several beautiful landscapes by Sountag,
of Cincinnati Cropsev Church and
Kensett.ofNew York, Gay, of Hingham
and a variety of paintings by Philadel
phia artists.
The Manager having done their part so
well, it it to be hoped that the public will
come forward this year, and subscribe liberally.
EFFECTS OF DEFEAT.
Friend Flanagan, of the Philadelphia
News, speaking ol the effects of the defeat
of the whig, refers to an earthquake which
was noticed at Baltimore and Richmond,
on the night ol the election, and winds up
with the following well known lines from
Milton, on the transgression of our first
parents.
"Earlh felt the wnand, and nature from her snot,
Bighin; through alt her works, gave ligiw of woe,
Thnt oil nil kit.
The earthquake, however, which fright
ened our whig friends most, was, in some
degree, felt in every State in the Union
excepting Vermont.
E? The Rev. Theodore Parker, ol Bos
ton, a well known writer and divine, has
delivered a sermon on the character of
Daniel Websler, in which he holds up ihe
character of Mr. Webster in a most unfa
vorable light, according to him, only great
intellect. The Philadelphia Bulletin, in a
review of the sermon, attributes this hos
tility of Mr. Parker, to Mr. Webster's
course on the Compromise question. Mr.
Parker will be very apt lo write himself
down an ass in the estimation ol every
good citizen.

FREE TRADE AND THE IHO lltMMSS.
The K.iil Rood Journal jiives I tie following
exposition of Ihe working of tho piesent
TanH" upon the manufactures of Iron :
For a number of years the price of lion
has tilled very low. Tho result has been
that most of our furnaces and rolling mill
have been closed, in other words, they have
been broken down by English competition.
As soon as the English maker has effected
his object, and secured the market to him
self, by breaking down the maimf.io'nres in
this country, he puts up 75 per cent, lo a
figure mush above wluil iron can be manu
factured for in this country, which wo are
compelled to submit In, because we have no
other sources of supply. We most pay bis
p.-iee till we construct winks and supply our
selves with a domestic article. But capi
talists have no inducement to commence ihe
manufacture in the present condilion of
things. It would inquire years before be
could gel fail ly under way, and by thai
time I lie foreign manufacturer, having made
gooil all his losses, and compensated fcr a
perioil of low, by a period of high prices,
would drop down lo the old mark, till he
shall again, as in years past, ruin great es
tablishments under way. Tho result is pur
suing a good business in tho long run, he
make money, and wo, as a necessary con
sequence, pay high prices, yel still find this
great interest almost completely broken
down by foreign coinpetiiion.
