'rho nature of the ground, would permit as strait a rail road from Wrightsville to Hagerstown by the southern route as by. the Cumberland Val ley with the exception of the part across the South mountain. And certainly not more than six or eight miles need be added for the ascent. If therefore a correct survey were made, it can hardly be doubted, that the southern route is from twenty to twenty five miles shorter than the other. But let us take the reputed length of each by the rail road lines: Frtma the intersection of the Lancaster and Harrisburg rail road to Ilarrieburg b 36 From tbe depot to Chambenburg, 82 From thence to 114gerstonn, From the intersection of the Harrisburg road to York 22 1.2 From York to Gettysburg From Gettysburg to Hagerstown by the roots examined by the engineers. Being a difference in favor of the southern route of seventeen miles. But it is said that the grades are easier on the Cumberland Valley route, and it can be travelled at a faster rate. The difference in the grades is six feet; the highest on the one being fifty feet, and on the other forty. four. But , that slight advantage is much More than lost by the manner in which the Lancaster and Cumberland Valley road is constructed. It is made with the flat rail laid on wooden string pieces. The testimo• .ny taken before the committee shews that to the best condition of such a road the pow. er required on it as compared with that on the edge rail is as two to one. The expert 'merge made on . the Philadelphia and Colum. bia road during the past year shew that on the flat rail road four years old the power required is as 'boat four to one, compared with the edge rail. The Wrightsville,York and Gettysburg road,and the extension, are all constructing with the edge rail. The power, therefore, required on that road,will be much less and the speed greater than on I the Cumberland Valley road. But there is another fatal objection to re. lying on the Cumberland Valley road and its extensions, for the purposes of the great internal commerce of Philadelphia ar. Pitts burg: thejlat rail is unfit for the transpor tation of freight and the rapid movement of locomotives. Mr. Mifflin, in his evidence, _ say*-"The flat bar rail ought not to be used in Toy opinion,for the transportation of leer• chandize• The Baltimore and Susquehan• ' na company are ofttuslame opinion;and are now replacing with the 'l' 'mil that portion of their road about four years time.° laid down with the flat rail. The Baltimore and Ohio company propose the same thing.— Messrs. Knight and Latrobe, exrerienced engineers, who during the past season ex amined most of the rail roads in the United States. in their report of Bth January,lB3B, says—" The plate rail, therefore, whether laid on wood or stone, is inadequate to the efficient support of steam locomotives, and unless as a temporary expedient,or for short branch rail ways,when wood is very cheap, or for a tract intended to be followed by one of more substantial character, it should be rejected. True economy dictates this course and the result upon the Baltimore and Ohio, and Baltimore and Susquehanna—the Phil adelphia and Columbia—the New Jersey and the Harkeem, and other rail roads, are decisive on this point." It is thus evident that the present rail road through the Cuin. beriand Valley,eannot supersede the meet'. sity 'ors. Sate road, of entirely difibrent con• infliction. If the State should be asked ton dept that route - for making a suitable road, she must make a new one from Lancaster to Hagerstown, a distance of one hundred and tetimiles,instead of completing the for ty suites from Gettysburg to the same point -•more than half of which is already undor centred. ThisnoMparison the underaigmed has been :-reluctantly driven to, without any i desire to disparage the useful work which runs thro' _the rich valley of Cumberland Franklin cavities, He who views the vast world be. yond the Alleghenies with the eye of a ,atiteisman,will not doubt but that all the inn. proved avenues from Pittsburg to Philadel phia will,io a few years,be literally choaked up with the produce and travellers from that tertiliand populous region seeking oar great Commercial Emporium. The Committee represent the Gettysburg aiteration as passing thro a barren wilder- Puisouriababited except by one tavernovhich they seem to have discovered If this ac ts:ant should be true in the letter, it is alto• . ether unfounded in its spirit.

IrOD WIN ONTTITADURGH STAN AND DAMIEN. Public Meeting at Gettysburg. — ln pursuance of pubhc notice,a large and respec table meeting of tho citizens of Adams county was held at the Court-houae,in the Borough of Gettys burg, on Tuesday the 27th of February, 1838, to take into consideration the contemplated division of the county. The meeting was organized by ap pointing JAMES RENSHAW, Esq. President; Geo. SMYSZB, lizxny Mesas, War. McCunny and JOAIN Woxvonn, Esqrs. Vico-Presidents; and James Cooper and ;Valium King Secretaries. When, on motion, the following named gentle men were appointed a committee to draft resolu tions expressive of the sense of the meeting,viz:— .A. G. Miller, Win. Rex, Joseph Sneeringer,Jacob Keller, Esq. Henry Shriver, Isaac E. Wierman, James Cunningham,Esq. J. P. Marfarlane,Esq. and R. G. Harper—who,after having retired fora short time, returned and reported the following Preamble and Resolutions,which were unanimous ly adopted: The Citizens of Adams County, having under staxi,through the published prriceedings of the House of Representatives, that a bill hat been reported in that body, to form a new county out of parts of York and Adams, called a county meeting to take the con templated division of Adams county into consideration it is entirely a matter of astonishment that an attempt should be made to divide this connty,which is alrea dy too small There can be no necessity for it. The county of Adams is nearly it square of about 25 miles. The seat of justice is situate very nearly in the cen tre. The roads from the extreme parts of the county to Gettysburg are very good—not hilly nor mountain ous—with permanent bridges over every stream of water that ever becomes dangerous or impassable.— There is probably not a county in the State, for its size and population, that has a greater number of as ' good Turnpikes, State and County Rdads, lending to its County Town, as Adams. Hanover. In York county, is but 14 miles from Get tysburg,and the contemplated division line runs with in d Miles of Gettysburg. 'The people in that section of the county hive not to complain of any burdens dif ferent from the other citizens of the county, nor can they complain of a delay in the administration ofjus tice, for the regular terms of the Courts io Adams county scarcely ever occupy more than • four days in the week— when a cause is put upon the Itst,it is sure to be'reached, and tried the first Court if the parties are ready. The list is gone through with every Court. The passage of this bill cannot be beneficial to any persons, unless it be to the citizens of Hanomr_and Its vicinity. Resolved, That the contemplated division of Adams county is not called (or or required by the eitiz.ens of the county. but thut the same would be prejudicial to the interests of the people...in dividing a county alma dy too small. • ' 82 27 difr. 93 17 di Resolved, That If any part of the citizens of York county desire to be separated from that county, and it shall please the Leg slatureto gratify them,they may be attached .to Adams, and we shall be pleased.to re ceive them,as this county may be increased to a pro per size both in territory and population ; but we re spectfully remonstrate against an attempt to divide this county es entirely unnecessary and uncalled for. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to lay these proceedings before the Legislature Whereupon the President appointed the following named gentlemen as that committee:—Col. J.

PENN. Interesting from Harrisburg., Correspondence of the Philadelphia Inquirer. HARRISBURG, Feb. 27, 1838: The Speaker laid before the Senate a com munication from the Pr, sident of the York, Wrightsville,and Gettysburg Railroad corn p-.ly,transmitting information relative to the affairs of that company, under a resolution passed the Bth inst. A bill relative to the Bank of Washing ton, to extend the time for closing its con cerns, came up. Mr. BURDEN inquired the nature of the bill; he said, he used to bo a bank man, but now the very mention of such an institution caused the cold chills to creep up the back of his neck. The doctrine of our days is, "all who trade on borrowed cap ital ought to break," and he wanted to extend the effects of the doctrine to Washington county. He would go through the House democratically, and break every thing from the cellar to the garret. Mr. LEEr replied and defended the bill, declaring himself vastly favoura')le to banks, &c. Mr. BURDEN inquired if this was the "monster bank" of which he had heard, situ ate in Washington? If so, he should like to take a cold cut at it. [Mr. Leet shook his head.] Mr. BURDEN proceeded—the Senator from Washington, said he, shakos his head, 1 but there's nothing in that! i [I presume he meant the gesture, not the 1 cran'um of the honorable Senator.] Mr. PENROSE spoke against the small hank system, which in old times brought a good deal of tribulation upon the people of Penn sylvania. The discussion was further continued, when the bill passed the committee. The House of Representatives to-day fin ished the consideration of the anti.bank bill, and ordered it to be transcribed for a third reading. It was also ordered to be re-print ed, with the amendments which have been made to it. It was made to-day still more objectionable than it has been, by the odor). Lion of new sections, and if I am not-greatly mistaken,it will be as much reprobated now, in the county of Philadelphia, as it has been heretofore approved. Ono of the amend. ments requires all the savings institutions and loan companies to make return to the Governor before the first of April next, by oath of the oflicers,w lietht. , .r they have issued any note or certificate less than five dollars, and if so,making it the duty of the Governor to declare their charters void by proclama • Lion. This was carried without opposition or division. Another amendment was offer ' ed by Mr. Garretson, punishing by fine and imprisonment not less than ten days, any in dividual who shall, after the first of May next, issue any such note, or who shall pass one, or offer to pass one, after the first of, October next. On this amendment there was censidera ble debate,and it was opposed by Stevenson, but it was adopted, 55 to 36. Mr. Karns proposed to make the penalty still more severe—disfranchisement.. He thought th© people would then see more palpably the beauties of the "better currency," which their idol wtraraagned in furnishing for eight years. But-it was-not agreed to. Mr. STEVENS proposed to amend by a new section, to allow two years time to those banks which do surrender their charters, for the purpose of winding up their concerns; but it was rejected, 46 to 43. Mr. Hill moved to reconsider the fourth section, to enable him to offer an amendment to make the . stockholders.liable for the full amount of the obligations of the banks, but . it was not agreed to. Stevenson opposed it. The title being under consideration, Mr. Crabb moved to make it characteristic, by stating it a medley of abominations to des , troy the banks, but it was not agreed to. Correspondence of the Philadelphia Inquirer. HARRISBURGH, Feb. 24, 1838. OLLAPODRIDA. DEAR SIR:--1 have heard tt said,that the foreign correspondentb of some of the city papers, exhibit a great deal of ignorance on the subjects of which they treat. The same remark would apply very well to the discus. sion which has been going on here, about the banks, currency, finances, stocks, and so on. The members who take an active part in the debates on the famous bank bill of Mr. Stevenson, which, like other patet4 medi. tines, is to be .41 panacea for all-!torep'. have evidently passed their lives wititiaatthe pale of bank influence, for they ceptinii . know but little of the bank systetn,in its various details and ramifications. Mr. Hoox, of Greener County, a member of the Loco Foco party, seems to under. stand the subject better than some of his compeers; and is entitled to considerable credit for the manner in which he has sus tained the interests of the community,which he has on more than one occasion declared, are interwoven inseparably with the inter. ests of the Banks. They are, in fact, one and the same thing, for the banks are but the embodied credit of the people, are the creatures of the community, and find their greatest benefit in the most healthy state of public prosperity. This is the view taken of the rnatter by Mr. Hook. Me'GAMIETSON, of Tioga, is one of the tremendous Mr. Stevenson's satellites.. He is a printer, I believe; and I would venture to say that he understands pressing, better than he understands the remedy of the prey sure.under which the community has been so long put "to-bed." He goes for the ultra measures, but sometimes cuts a sorry figure in his demonstrations, as he seldom makes out a fair case. Mr. Hortcnvs, of Washington,whose die• tinguishing trait of character is opposition to Governor Ritner,is sometimes on one side of the fence, and sometimes on the other.— This afternoon he appeared tolerably ration al on the subject of a resumption of specie payments, and declared himself favourable to an amendment of Mr. Hook's, to protect the banks under certain circumstances. Mr. 'JottrurroN, of A rmstrong,;l3 a respec- table man, but, "an odd. fish," as the saying is. He is an incongruity, hut withal an ho nest one, and has a good deal of influence, not withstanding the "Reporter" of this place has been sawing away at him since he de clared himself opposed to the Sub• Treasury system, against which . a s ieiatition was car ried through the HoUse principally by his .exertions and influence. Mr. GILMORE, of Butler, is a little amphi. hious,also,at times. On the 131 nk bill gees lion he is one day on terra firma—the next day in the water. I believe, if party were not in the queation,he would act pretty fairly; but it is no joke for Mr. Gilmore to flutter round the confines of his parts as he did on the anti•Sub.Treantry resolutions; for not being possessed of more than a common share of moral courage, he cannot well com bat the censures of the faithful. Mi. Ma:twee, of Bedford, is the Fal staff of the House. He is the commander. in-chief of the Loco Focus, and High Priest of that peculiar political fiiith, in which dou ble capacity he originates a great deal of fun in the House. His great hobby is oppo sition to the Gettysburg rail-road, which hobby will pretty certainly cast him and break his neck. A few days since, he sol emnly read Mr. Johnston out of the party, which expulsion Mr. Johnston received with perfect good humOr, as it only touk effect in Mr. McElwee's imagination. Mr. HILL, of Westmoreland, who made himself conspicuous last winter, in the fam ous farce of investigating the "mode, man ner, and means" by which the United States Bank obtained its charter from the Louis. lature of 1835—'0, is decidedly the greatest natural in the House—natural in his views, natural in his mode of enforcing them, and very natural in the manner in which ho holds to old opinions and prejudices. He is a de (ermined destruCtive, and cannot be made to comprehend how a bank can suspend specie payments and not be inbolrent! If the government were left to such men as Mr. Hill for seven years, we would have n sorry account of their stewardship. This afternoon, the Bank Bill, as usual, under discussion,Mr. Hopkins declared 'hal some days since, Mr. Stevens had used the work loco loco. He could tell Mr. S. that he (M r. H.) did not belong to the Loco Foco party. "Oh no," said Mr. Stevens,with a sarcas• tic smile,more severe than the darkest frown, "you are a patriot!" This aflorded a good deal of merriment. Slimily after, Mr. Pray, of Philadelphia county, rose and declared, also, that he did not belong to the Loco Foco party. Ilia own party laughed at him, when ho sat down a midst cries of "order! order!" from the Speaker, and hearty guffaws from the mem hers. The party is likely to find Locn Foco ism nn old man of the sea, which must he killed entirely before it can be got rid of,and which will prove the death of the party at tempting to carry it. They are anxious to get rid of it. I fear now that destructive measures may be adopted. Some huge provisions in the bank bill have gone through on second read ing. Our friends, being in the minority, have not taken much part in the matter, but left it to the Loco focos,who must bear the awful responsibility. When it comes up on third reading, our friends will be found in their seats, and discharge their duty to the Country by recording their votes in opposition to the whole bill. What its fate will be in the Senate,is rather doubtful. Under ordin ary circumstances, it would be defeated triumphantly. But there is a disposition a mong some of our friends, (I don't know for certain that it obtains among the Senators,) to let the anti-bank hobby be ridden till it overthrows itself, and by that means bring die whole matter to a crisis. I hope this may not be done; for the evils it would bring upor. the people, although it would purge them of all their anti-bank notions,would be unparalleled. Of one thing lam certain-- the people will soon be sicker than ever of anti-bankism. 1 have heard it suggested,that if a destruc tive bill become a law, a great many banks of the state will ask permission to surrender their charters, and close up their business. You could calculate the ales of such a step as well as I or any one else; for they would be incalculable. But if the Legislature screws the banks too much, will they not be justified, in self.defence,in screwing the peo ple? A Looker-on in Vienna. The committee appointed to investigate the charg es of bribery brought against Rey nolds of Westmoreland, have not to our knowledge held a session as yet. They will proceed in due time. The defence now set up by the pure man from Westtriorekind, is, that he was endeavoring to counteract the influence of the York Bank. He must by this time bo somewhat au fait in counteract ing bank action. He once kept the West Chester bank at bay for more tlian three years! He has a horror of banks and bank dealings, and proof is not wanting, that hods and has been, a decided opponent of their rights.—Harrisburg Telegraph. ........ •..-- 01110 101 4 :GISLATURE.-Mr. GREEN, from the Judiciary Committee of the Ohio Senate, to which had been referred sundry petitions of citizens of Ohio, praying that the right of trial by jury may be extended to every hu• man being in the State, has made a report adverse to the prayer of the petitioners.— The ground taken in the report is, that, as a law of Congress is "the supreme law of the land," until repealed or declared unconstitu• tional, by the Supreme Court of tie United States, nothing short of nullification can remove its obligation, or authorize the Leg. islature of a State to enact laws clearly in contravention of those laws of the Union, touching the question, which are of higher sanction. 'The report holds that until the law of Congress of 1793, is removed out of the way, it "presents an insurmountable barrier to the prayer of the petitioners." A bill has passed the Legislature of Ken. tucky, appropriating 400.000 dollars for the prosecution of works of internal improve ment already commenced. The Legislature of Kentucky, at its last session, authorised the erection of a new county to be called CARROLL, in honour of the late Charles Carroll of Carrollton. A Western paper states that the Tea plant has been found to succed well in the vicinity of Marietta, Ohio. The Reform Convention. (From the Philadelphia American Sentinel, a Van Buren paper.] This body has adjourned, and after a Fes. E don of ten months, at nn expense of Jpwald 01 THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAtUE has presented the fruits of its labors for pulk tic approbation or rejection. During its procrastinated and wearisome existence, we carefully noted its proceedings, and their results; and early arrived at the conclusion, that they would mar what they proli!ssed to amend, and deface what they intend to im prove. The final completion of their work has convinced ti of the correctness of our impressions, and confirmed us in our deter mination to oppose its sanction before the people their, and our common masters—un til the second Tuesday in October,therefore, when the people of this Commonwealth shall decide on abandoning or sustaining the '; rent Constitutional Charter, under which, for nearly half a century, they have lived free, prosperous and happy, this paper will be found the inflexible and uncompromising opponent of the vague, crude and unduges. led thing presented to us under the name of "Amendments" to the Constitution. It is our intention to discuss them all, temperate. ly and fully, in order that the people may understand and appreciate the questions sub nutted to their decision. We trust,that our democratic friends will, one and all,remem• her, that they nro not in this matter, decid ing whether this or that aspirant shall enjoy some petty place or some temporary dis tinction; but that the question for their deter mination is no less than one involving the great fundamental law under which they and their posterity are to continue citizens of this republican commonwealth. Appreciating fully their position, we are confident that they will not rashly commit themselves on the subject; but first having considered,will pronounce that calm, deliberate and advised judgment on the doings of their servants, which is to be expected from an enlighten. ed peoplo,to whom is referred the settlement of a, question so momentous to.. them and their posterity. Heated zealots and violent partizans may endeavor, by appeals to par. ty, to stifle fair discussion and free enquiry —fearful of their eflimts. But the attempt will fail. The people of Pennsylvania will examine reflect and decide for themselves; and when the evils, injustice and inexpedi. ency oldie proposed alterations are exhibit ed to thorn will reject them, and retain the constitution framed by the fathers of the re public, and left behind them as their richest legacy. The New Constitution. [From the Harrisburg Telegraph, an Anti-Mason- is paper.] The Loco Focos and the Conservatives of the Van Buren party aro taking opposite sides respecting the new Constitution—the former in favor and the latter against it. The American Sentinel, the organ of the Conservatives, has come out strongly oppos ed to it—while the Pennsylvanian, the lead ing Loco•Focp organ has taken ground in its favor. The Democratic Anti-Masonic party will leave the question with them—as a party they will neither go for or agir mit the new Constitution. No manceuvre of the masonic party will be able to force them into either position. Every Anti-Mason will be left to his own judgment, and to his own will on this subject. We can however say,that at present pub lic opinion in this part of the state, ie decid edly hostile - to it, end if a vote were to be taken upoii iirtow, it would be rejected three to one. The peOple of all parties are disgusted with the course of the Convention—with the enormous sum that it has cost the State —and with the want of political honesty manifested b} the radicals; while they be lieve that tho old Constitution was framed by able and honest men. But before the time comes to vote upon it, there may be a change in the public mind, after the people have read and considered the new one. .-.. • "..... air. Johnston, of armstrong. A large meeting of the citizens of Armstrong county wns hold at Kittanning on the 17th ult. to take into consideration tho course of their represen- tative, (Mr. Joitivirtorr,) relative to the Sub-Trea sury scheme. A preamble and resolutions approv ing of the course of tho General Government on this subject wore otTered,and promptly voted down. Resolutions were then submitted approhatory of the course of Mr. Johnston,and adopted with great unanimity, We extract the following: Resolved, That wo by whose votes Wm. P. JOHNSTON occupies his seat in the legisla ture of this state, most cordially approve of the preamble and resolution offered by him in the House of Representatives on the :id inst., and of his course in reference to the unwarrantable attack made upon him by the Pennsylvania Reporter, to drive him from the position which, as the independent re presentative of freemen,he chose to take, by appealing at once to those to whom he owes allegiance, & by whom he will be sustained. Resolved, That the official arrogance,the political intolerance, and party denunciation exhibited by the Reporter on this occasion, are becoming too common—are highly re- - prehensible—destructive of the freedom of opinion, of speech, and of legislation; and. if not rebuked by the popular voice, will sub vert every principle of genuine democracy —render the servant of the peop'e the master —and substitute the dictum of some great man for the will of the people, though he may dictate one thing to-day and the reverse to-morrow. Resolved, That .at no time has the Sub- Treasury scheme received the public recog nition or approval ofany portion of Mr. John ston's constituents; nor has he been called upon to give, nor has he ever given, either directly or indirectly, any pledge that he would give it his countenance or support: and that, consequently, in the course he has recently seen proper to take upon that ques• tion,he has violated no pledge,and disobeyed no instructions. Resolved, rhat wo,vvith him,mosi cordial ly coincide in the opinion expressed , by ihe Watibington Globe in 1 c134,0tt the Suh-Trea sury project; that "TIM PROPOSITION' IS DISORGANIZING AND REVOLV TIONARY, SUBVERSIVE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF OUR GOVERNMENT; AND OF ITS ENTIRE PRACTICE, FROM . i 7 DOWN TO THIS DAY;" and "dud tie effect of the scheme would he to brim• the public '..asure much nearer the itehm l cus tody and control of the President than it is now, and expose it to be plina,ertd by a hun dred hands,whete one cannot now reach 11." GETTYSBURG RAIL. ROAD.-WO observe by our exchange papers, that the conduct of the Van Buren committee appointed to visa the Gettysburg rail•rond, in charging 8100 cacti for four or five days' absence, when they wore receiving their daily pay as rnem hers of the house at the same time, is justly condemned both in and out of the_state.— The chairman oldie c•onunittee, however,• not satisfied with $lOO for his expenses dur. mg this •'wild goose chase," charged 8125 —while a member of the committee, wi, was in a minority, stated in his place to the house, that 880 would pay the expenses of each member. What du the loco loco pres ses say to these extravagant and enormous charges by their leading friends in the house? They are as silent as the grave,' although' they prate so much about reform, economy, and retrenchment! Shame upon such grip. ing and grasping conduct!

' arts that can be taught a woman. And, it must be confessed, it is a most severe trial for those women to lay down beauty, • who • have nothing else to take up. It is for this sober reason of life that education should • lay up its rich resources. However disre-, garded they may have been, they will be, wanted now. When admirers fall away, and flatterers become mute, the mind will be driven to re tire into itself, and if it find no entertainment at home, will be driven buck ngain upon the• world With increased force. Yet, forgetting this, do we not seem to educate our dauglxi.' tens exclusively for the trancient perked .of youth? Do we not educate them foragrowil, and not . for themselves?—• fur show and not for use!—for eternity. ACCIDENTAL DEATII.—We learn, by the Democrat,at Bloomfield, (Pa.) that on Mon day week last, whilst Mr. incob Miller, eiyq, of Snville township, was is the woods fellmg timber,he cut a tree which lodged on anoth er, end while cutting the latter, a limb fell that struck him on the head, ond•killed him instantly.

The ,opin ion was written by Chiefiustife Gibson,and decided that colored men are not freemen in this state, and consequently have no right to vote under the present Constitution. The question on which the decision is giv en, arose on a writ of error from the Court of Common Pleas of Luzerne con iiy, in the case of William Fogg,n negro,ngainst Hunrn Hobbs, inspector, and Levi Baldwin, and" others, judges of an election, for refusing hie vote.

Its provisions must crush every Banking Institu tion in the Commonwealth, but not without a des peratestrugglo on their part to redeem their credit, and in that struggle they will collect the debts duo to them, which are many and widely spread. The result can readily be foreseen! I view this bill as one which has been con. ceired in Sin and brought forth in Iniquity! and was there not a redeeming power in the Sen ate to elevate the Constitution, Justice and Equity above the grovelling views of party, the destruc tive measures of that bill would be felt by all, and the prosperity of our Commonwealth he trampled in the dust! To the Senate for relief must we now look." From tho following, from the Harrisburg Chronicle of Saturday last, it would seem that wo have nothing to fear: THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS PROTEC TED!-INTERPOSI'T'ION OF THE SEN ATE! To day,in the Senate,resolutions submit ted a day or two ago—the first requiring en unconditional resumption of specie pay ments, and the second making the stockhol keys of the banks personally liable for all the debts—came up, when the first was NEGATIVED by a vote of 17 to 13. The second was not disposed of when our paper was put to press, but will meet the fate of the first. co-The second has .met the fate of the first' by a large majority. 0:1•A. bill has been introduced into the U. S. senate prohibiting Duels in the District of Colum bia. It "inflicts the punishment of death on all concerned in a duel which results in death; from five to ten years' confinement in the Penitentiary on all concerned in giving or receiving a challenge; and from three to seven years for assault, defama tion or abuse, for refusing ..a challenge." We may hereafter, if we can find room, givo itteg, 9 statement of the principals in the duel men tioned in our last. Many of the Van Buren pa pers are endeavoring to make a party matter of it! Adverting to this fact, the Washington Correspon dent of the Baltimore Chronicle, a Whig Paper, nukes the following disclosure: "I am sorry that the press has taken this course, and has rendered it necessary for you to speak out,upon this unfortunate atilt ir. It is, however,too evident that such a course is forced upon the Whig press by the gross misrepresentations, and perversions of facts, with which the Evening Post,the Baltimore. Republican, and other kindred pi ints, are al ready teeming. In addition to the facts mentioned in the Chronicle of this morning, there is another pregnant with the most im portant reflections: and that is Krthat the Hon. Mr. WILLIAMS, Senator from Maine,a wann personal and political friend. of Mr. CILLev, as well as others of his friends, re. sidentr in the same boarding house, ithiw of Mr. CILLEY'S intention to go out with -Mr. GRAVES, upon the morning of the day of the duel, and took nu pains to prevent it... Moreover, so firm was the belief that Cit.- LEY would kill his antagonist, (so skilful had he proved himself in two or three days practice with the rifle,in the presence of some of his most intimate friends,) that, at about the hour when it was to be presumed the engagement was taking place, a Senator of the U. S., of the administration party, took out his watch,and with an air of anticipated triumph, remarked to a companion, "GRA, YES IS NOW A DEAD MAW "What commentary is furnished by such facts upon the course now pursuing by the paritiad friends of tho late Mr. CILLRY! 1 say no snore at present." From tho Harrisburg Telegraph. The .Ylurder at 'Pushltsg,lon. There is but one opinion in our communi ty, respecting the duel between Messrs. Graves and Cilley—aed that is that all the partiescoocerned should be tried for murder. The defence set up by the laws of honor— or the rules ofetiquette in such cubes, is held as but a fiimscy web to justify or conceal de liberate murder. We rejoice to see this, maienuch as it will send its influence abroad, and aid in future in preventing duelling tra gedies. Wo are pleased to see that the House of Representatives have appointed a committee to investigate the causes and circumstances connected with the death of Mr. Cilloy,and to inquire whether there has not been a breach of the privilege of the House. And also, that the committee are instructed to report a bill more etVctually to Suppress,' duelling. Every member of the House in any way engaged in the late duel should be expelled and sent home to his disgraced constit stmts. oi.We understand that one of the Spanish Bells remedy imported into New York has been purchased for Christ Church of this piaci:, and thatit will be heroin a few days. The late Church DM. (0 - Joarr G. Wiiiirlart, the Quaker Poet, is about to take charge of the Philvielphia Na&null Enquirer, one of the best Anti-Slavery papers in the Union. Buzzard Illustration! j. the following story related by a Mr. fuse, at a stump speech at New Orleans, we copy fur the edification of the Loco Focal: " Mr. Elm "thought the people now were something like a buzzard he knew, nod the office holders like an old man named San ford. Old Sanford was cross eyed, and like all. cross eyed people, he seemed to be look ing the other way, when he was looking right at you. 110 was going along the road one day, when the Buzzard was sitting on the fence. Old Sanford looked at the Buz zard and the Buzzard looked at Old Sanford, but the Buzzard thought Old Sanford was not looking at him, so ho sat still until Old Sanford walked up and collared him; so it is with the people, they have been collared by a cross eyed administration, but they are now shaking off the collar." The ComPiler. In the last ..Compiler" Mr. Lefever takes notice of his having published the County Accounts, &c. and if he had stopped when he went thus far he would have told nothing but the truth; but when he declares, that it was done gratuitously, he says what is not true. Mr. Lefever does not belong to the party in power in the County; and according to the usage of his party, he would have received nothing for the publication of the County Ac.. counts—and indeed according to the usage of ail parties elsewhere, he ought not to have looked for remuneration; but in a spirit of exceeding, though I admit, commendable liberality, tho Commis sioners have always paid Mr. Lefever for his work —not perhaps the full amount, charging by the square, at the ordinary rate—but liberally and am ply. So, f presume they will do ognin,if they have nut become disgusted by his mendacity. -A HOG, raised by Mr. J•COB STEttxr.tt, was slaughtered on the 26th ult. by Mr. A.
