TfiE t'A BIRET.
Almost every day we have something new on
the subject of the Cabinet, and some write as confi
dently as though they knew exactly who the Presi
dent elect intends to appoint. This is all moonshine.
V.'e do not believe that a human being, except Mr.
BUCHANAN himself is po-teJou this subject, nor is it
anybody's business who be appoints. He alone is I
responsible. Wire-workers have no more right to ;
advise a President as to who he should choose for his :
confidential advisers, than they would have to choose
a wife for him. if .Mr. Buchanan is not qualified to j
select a cabinet, we would like to know who is.—
Himself the ablest Statesman now living, he will
cali to his aid not only the biigbtest intellects in the
land, but men whose mora! and political reputations
will command the admiration ol the civilized world.
On one thing all men and ail p irtips agree, and that
is that Mr. BUCHANAN is not only capable to be, but j
that he WILL Bid. President. This will at once es
tablish the character of his administration, and bring I
to his support that respect and confidence so essential
to a happy and prosperous state of affairs. Well:
may The people rejoice in having such a President.
During the late exciting campaign, our opponents
of the Press, and on the flump, solemnly pledged !
their reputations for truth and honor, that -Mr. 15u- .
rhar.an, if elected, would reduce the wages of the la- j
boring man to "ten cents a day,"and FORCE Slave
ry into Kansas! The Democracy repudiated both
charges as false and malicious, yet thousands o! ho
nest men were misled by the -lander, and thus in- I
d iced to vote against Mr. IL His Inauguia! wiil ;
foreshadow the chutacter oi his Administration, and !
if its sentiments do not brand these slanders upon I
their foreheads, we will frankly admit that out ;
Speakers and our Papers deceived the people. We, j
Therefore, call upon honest Freemen everywhere to ;
look to the ACTS of their new President, and pass
judgment accordingly.

as few men of his years have ever acquired. Stand
: gat the head of the Judiciary in this country,
Judge Black bids fair to become a Statesman of e
qual brilliancy and popularity". Sound on all the ;
great questions that have ever convuLcd the coun

ELLIS Lxwis, the present accomplished Chief Jos- \
tice of Penn.-ylvania, will be re-nominated for the
Supreme Bench by the Convention which meets 111 !
Harrisburg on the 2d of March next. We sincerely
hope be may, for he is. eminently qualified for the
high tru.-T, a fact admitted by the proles-ion <6 all
parlies. Besides, he is one of the V.N: \:m Demo
crats of PenrisyTvarda—af".t,*nHtrfigh he - ne-rer !-.s

CFTvvo of the "Three Thousand Ministers'' who 1
harangued the people from the stump and through
'lie press la-t summer in defence of Know Xolhing
isrri and Abolitionism, have recently been guilty ol
act- oi the most vile and brutal character, too dis
graceful to be given 111 the columns ola family news
paper. Last week one of them was sentenced to thiee
months imprisonment in the Blair county Jail; and.
if the other gets justice, be will go to the Penitenti
ary. Under these circumstance •, it is not suipriz
.rjg that the Church has become cold, barren, and
una!—that but few communicant* ate ever tound
i t prayer meeting— d thai the mot impressive up- 1
pea is from the pulpit are listened to with entire i:i
ditference by the masses. Tiuly we are in a lamen
table condition as a people, possessing the rov,.\i but
•iltrios* destitute of toe POWJ-.lt t>: Godliness! To
iL.; Ministers who took the blasphemous Know Xo
tiring Oath-, and the church newspapers which advo
cated the horrible doctrine, are we mainly indebted
far the luke-warmness existing among professing
< iii Ist tans, as well as the gross wickedness that i
-talks abroad in the land. The church press and the
ministers who wallowed i.l the slime and filth ol
Know Xothingisin have never had the manliness to
■otiless their error, whilst every other class of men j
have, to their credit be it spoken. How can they
expect to do good with tins curse resting upon
'hem! MayTtre Great Ruler oi in : I'mveise change
the hearts of the people for goc.l, should be the con- i
-tar.l prayer ol all true Chtiulraits. What can com-,
pare with the character of a meek and humble fol
lower of Christ? Nothing this side of Heaven.
We invite attention to the proceedings of .1
Democratic meeting held in Cambria County, I
wiiib will be found on the first page. They were j
fmwarded to us by a gentleman 111 whom there is 00
guile, and whose statement- may be relied iijron as j
correct. The time is not distant when the Derooe- I
racy of Cambria will teach tho-e wtio have been j
tv.uertng away their cherished principles, that they j
cannot do so with impunity. We felt confident that ;
Cambria would never become the apologists oi Trai
•or to the Democracy, and trie resolutions alluded!
To prove that we were not mistaken in our impres- j
-:ons. The people demand other leaders than Mi- ■
cr-ael Dan, Penlon, and Johuson, who, until very re- j
cently, have been the most foul-mouthed slanderers!
of the Democratic party in the State.
r~ -- The Johnstown !■ •> says that the Kepresen- 1
'ative Conference for thi- District passed a reso- i
<>hition "denouncing the course of tho-e Democrats 1
who have waged a war against the Hon. Henry D. ;
Po-ter and his friends, as unwise and unpolitic."' J
Phis is not true. The very reverse is the fact, 'i he \
resolution was intended to denounce the course of i
those faet:OiiLt< in Cambria headed by Dick White !
and Michael Dan Mngehan. A MAJORITY of that
.-Or fcrence look upon the course of Henry D. Foster 1
and tho-e who bolted with him, precisely as express- :
ei! in the resolutions of the Democratic meeting re- !
cently held in Bedford. If Mr. Smith doubts it, let
bun a-k them for a written opinion.

j mit an odor mure uopiea-atit than that of the
i Polc-cat , hat it is certainly a great misfortune.
Our friend Rlarchand,of the Greenshnrg Repub
\ Ham, according to our recollection, is badly af
\ fee ted with this disease of the fed, and, when
| added to the visible defect in the brain, it is not
surprizing that he should occasionally write a
; bout "Skunks." ]t is altogether natural that
J be should, and we hope he enjoys the luxury!
1 Hut vve cannot consent to allow him to slan
der the generous-hearted Democracy ol \\ est
| inoreiand without saying a word in (heir de
: fence, especially as they are now without an
j organ in which to give utterance-' !o their real
j sentiments. A few years ago, a regular Con
: vent ion of that county, consisting of delegates
| from every township but one, and also a great
Mass meeting at New Alexandria, passed reso
-1 lntions highly complimentary to ns both as a
Democrat and a Public Officer; making pointed
! reference to the fact that we had declined to
' accept a handsome sum tendeied us by the Le
| gislature as a remuneration for extraordinary
' seivices performed in organizing the two Penn
i svlvani t Regiments for the Mexican war. The
Republican admits this, but charges that the
Convention at Green-burg and the meeting at
j Alexandria put upon record what they knew at
the Hue to be a lie —that, as we then belonged
to the same Congressional District, the Demo
| cracv of Westmoreland used this language and
passed the resolutions alluded to as a mere trick
or bribe to induce the Cue: tic to aid them in
j their eflbrls to obtain office, and that the tram!
s-rved the purpose, and induced us to hang to
! them like a Hessian soldier, right or wrong.
Let us see. On one occasion the corrupt junto
j at Crt ensburg attempted to foist upon the p o
i pie, fir Congress, a certain JiUtc JtlcKinnnj,
' against the expressed will of the people, and the j
Republican defended him in his traitorous con
| duct. The Bedford Gazette denounced that
j faction then just as it denounces them now,
i which prows the latter allegation as false as it ,
is ridiculous. This same McKinney was sent j
to tli- State Convention which re-nominated I
j Gov. JJIGLEK, arid, although the Governor re- j
ceived an overvvheJirnng majority on the first 1
ballot, on a motion to make the nominati n u- j
nan: nous, this beautiful representative of the !
I "Old Star" voted NO, solitary and alone.' Last
i fall he was smuggled on the ticket for Congress, ;
and.defeated in a district that should have given j
,at least one thousand democratic majority ! He
no doubt figured at the meeting on.last Monday i
j night called to justify their treacher us Mepre- j
sent a lives at Harrishurg. No wonder that the ;
masses in Westmoreland refuse to act with such j
degraded leaders: and hence it is that that time- j
honored county is now almost at the command
' of the common enemy.
If, however, tiie position assumed by the Re- j
publican be true, what are the resolutions of a
Greensburg meeting worth 7 Are they not the i
-
mere gal!-tra; s of political gatr.bl rs, designed .
to elevate acer tain class of aspirants at the ex
pense of honor, i'. - -ncy, anil truth ?
i Wili tiie hon st tinmen of Westmoreland:
admit that they were guilty of the contemptible
fraud charged upon them in the Republican !
I'kat they attempted to buy Congo ssional favor - ;
by passing resolutions only intended to deceive' 1 .

Three years ago, we were not a Congressional i

AX ADDRESS delivered before the PUUKNAKOS UI.ANJ
I SOCIETY OK PENNSYLVANIA COLI.KOE, at the
Annual Coinmencernent, September 17,
ISaG, by
IiOL J. S. BLM, L.L.D.
This is a remarkable production of a very re
markaMe pen. In one respect, certainly,
| Judge Black has had rare pood fortune. In
I less than six years he has made Lis peculiar
1 st% le of writing so familiar !o every profession
al reader in the Commonwealth, that by a sin
] tile paragraph hl3 opinion may he distinguished
from that of anv judge who ever occupied the
1 same bench. Possessing for Judge Gibson, the
I great light of that bench, an admiration so pro
j found, as, according to his own admission, 7
Harris, 14-, to amount almost to worship, his
.style is hist as unlike Gibson's as the latter was
I unlike Johnson's. With a vein of humor rnn->"
I ning through his whole mental texture, which
| will occasionally breakout in spite of himself,
j he is, nevertheless, as far from. Judge Ikacken
| ridge, as a gentleman is from a mountebank. —
J The most general characteristic which can Le
j truly applied to his writings is, that they are
| original. No reader of judicial opinions ever
! saw am thing like them here ,>•- anywhere, and
j he may live long hef ire seeing their like again.
: We constantly feel that he seems to say just
] what he pleases to sav, and as lie phases to .-ay
it. While no rule of rhetoric is actually vi i!a
I ted, we i'-el the utm st certainty that if he once
j took the notion, tie would, merely f r the sake
I of some short cut to a conclusion, violate every,
j rule i;i Dr. Iliad's whole system. In the choice
of words, if he ev-r stops to choose at all
which is matter of uncertainty—there is just
that preference fLr the Saxon over the Latin,
1 which causes the idea to shoot thiough the in
tellect and lodge in tie* heart of the reader, ft
is impossible to forget wjr.it is said or to get rid
of the words in which it tins been said. In the
writer's mind, it is easy to see that the idea
and nut the wends has bn 11 uppermost, ami that
the only struggle has been to get this Lira out
in any form '!.;:t would give it the fullest ex
pansion. When he aigues, he does it j list as
j peculiarly. His strength consists not so much
j in showing cue side to he right as the other
. side to be wrong. The reih/cfia n<l obsti/o ni
j i.- used without stint or limit ; and sometimes,
j before he lias proceeded the length of a sent
' ence we begin to laugh at what he is c ml at
' ting. Occasionally there are in the- very gra
! vest opinions turns of expression apparently ac
• cidental, that might make a beadle smile in t!
1 midst of the church service. He will say, fir
| example, as in Hob* vs. Rittenhouse, "'ti-vv
: lords, new laws,' is the order of the day.—
Hereafter if a man be olh-red a titi- whi :h the
j Supreme Court has decided to be good, let him
j not buy, if th judges who made the decision
are dead; if they are living, let him get an in
■ siiranceon their lives; for ve know not what a
j day or an h air may bring forth Or, as in
! Carver vs. Paul, It* Hairis, 21*2, "Every Junc
-1 tion of government may be injudiciously exer- J
I cised, but still we must trust it with somebody,
j That of vacating ran !- is as necessary .is any
j other: and while we cannot promise that eve-
I ry body's interest u ill 1 •* taken care of, we have '
: faith en mgh in <ur svst ir ! • believe tliat n
atrocious wrong will l e done. We have no
I fears that Chsnut street will be closed tip, at
least tor tlie present Or, a< in the Lank of
the C'nited States vs. the (' irnmon w* .11!h, 5

: not been cited, but all the ing-nuity of the ar-'f

prove that it was not forbidden. Good work?!
I must be scarce, when the mere absence ofcrim-j
j inalify in one matter is pleaded a< a license for j
' sinning in another." This being over, there j
come blows, thick and fist, which it is a- itn-h
possil I- to resist as to ward Great as is the'"
j reputation wiurfi !h. >e qualities have brought to,
their owner on the bench, it may well be doubt-'
I'd whether he has v t f imd his true sphere.— j
It circuhtslancessh iuld ever thrust him info the;
1 !i"hl of diplomacy, there will be such writing
las has rarefy ever been seen before. Wufr
: such a memory fir dales and events, such fa*!
imliarity with American and English historv,
such indescribable powers of sarcasm, such ca
pacity i r gerierali/.ati n, such quick perception
j uf reseu 1 blances and contrasts, the \v<u Id would '
ring with despatel •s, to which the HiiFemann
: letter, giving out its clari .n -notes all over i'.u- ,
! rope, would not be more than a begiuing. This ;
1 is our bumble judgment.
The lit,*:ary addr> -s of Judge Black dis
play i;i an eiuimnt degree ins intellectual;
| characteristics. The first which attracted'
; much puhiic a:?en!l mi was liis eulogy on Jack- 1
j so.-,, lip to that time he had b-.-n c!ii**tly I
i -known throughout the State, bv scraps of opin- i
; ions which had Crept into the reports of the ,b .-
; preme Court, by occasional remarks from the;
! ench, which had travelled out of bis district,}
and by the good opinion of lawyer-, from a
distance, who had occasionally tried causes be-1
; fire him. The Address of Jackson sent a thriijl
i <f pleasure through the hearts of all who i*ad j
it. It made birr, at or.ee a candidate fbr thej
Senate of the L nited States, lite Governor's'
chair, and eva-rvthing else that was going : and ;
it contributed rot a littie to make him Chief'
Justice. Still it was hut a single performance,"j
and the instances are not rare in which a man
mis written himself nut in one effort, rich and !
enough, but Laving the intellectual rid-?
! der dry. To what extent in* trad exhausted ,
' himself at that time, will sutiinentlv ap-iearf
; ll irn 'he sketch We have given of his subse- i
: qtient labors in ti..- Supreme Court,
j "Tiie next literary eilort which we rerolhct :
; ' ' have seen, was ins Ad'ire-. oef.jre the Agrj- 1
cultural Society of Somerset County. It was {
I radiant with light and beauty. For evidence;
j oi this, it would he impossible to go amiss to a- I
ny part of it. There are few who would b<*4
i isensibie to the merit of the following pas- L
' sage ;
"Without science, man, the ruler of this!
! world, would be the must helpless of ail anima- -
t. 1 beings. His Creator made him, the men- •
I arch of the earth, and gave him dominion over I
| it, to govern and control it; to levy unlimited j
contributions upon it, and convert everything I
;in It, to his own use. [hit he found hims.-lf at j
1 the head of a revolted empire. .\!l its physi-i
j cai : rces* were in a state ot insurrection against!
his lawful authority. The inferior animalsF
were his enemies. Toe storms poured their fu-r
.rv on his unsheltered head. He was terrified j
by th <* roai of the thunder, and the lightning]
scared his eve-balls. He was parched under F
1 tf** liot sun of summer, and i:t winter he was
| pierced by lilt' cold. Tin* soil, cursed jur his
sake, produced thorns and thistles. The lood
that might sustain l.:s life, grew beside the poi
j sou that would destroy it, and he knew r.ot how
to distinguish the one from the other. The
eaith hid her minerals deep in her bosom and
guarded them with a rampart of thick ribbed
rocks. The rivers obstructed his passage : the
mountains frowned their defiance upon him ;
and the forest spread its gloom around him,
breathing a browner honor upon the dangers
that beset his way. li he left the dry land and
trusted himself to the ocean, the water* yawn
i ed to engulpli him, arid the tempest came how
■ iingon his track. H** seemed an exile and an
outcast in the world >1 which he was made to
be the sovereign. Rut science comes to rescue
the powerless king from his misery and degra
dation. Gradually he learns from tier the laws
r of his empire, and the means bv which his n b-
el subjects may be conquered. From age to
age he accumulates tlie knowledge that dotl.es
him with power, and fills his In-art \x •h cour
age. Step afier step, he mounts upward to the
throne which God commissi med him to fill,
lie holds a barren sceptre in bis hand, no !on
leer. Creation, bends to do him homage.— i
! Ihe subjugated elements own him for their lord,
I yield I:iill their fealtv. and become tfie servants
jof his will. The mind surrenders its treasures ;
\ the wilderness blooms aiouml him like a new ll
\ den : the rivers and the sea bear his wealth up
■on tlmn bosom; tile winds watt his navies
; round tlie globe; steam, t! joint product of
j fire ami water, becomes bis obedient and pow
j erful slave - tbe sunbeams are trained to ho his
j painting : tlie lightning leaps awav to carry bis
I messages; ami fin- earth works with ceaseless
activity t i hri.ng forth whatever can minister to
his gratification."
It is not to i much to ask in what departnx ;<t
of A ni'M ican or English literature better wri
ting than ti.i ; can he found. In Mr. Webster's
lecture b.-i'ore the Boston Mechanic's Institution,
in vember, ISON, —as. for example, in bis
description of the uses and -lb its of steam pow
el,—pre .ably it will he admitted that We have

more. Let the reader turn to that performance

If these nhd similar allusions in which the

: pr.'t i-ite their value. Tb-v are on the oiler,
hand introduced with a sort of unconsciousness
which can be understood only bv seeing them
iin the connection in which they stand. One
ihind is quite manifest—that the author has at
j soil,' lime in his life been a most diligent stu
d -nt oi tive scriptm >. Fie seems to have satu
rated his mind with Scriptural thought and qic
iior; to such a degree, .is to make it overflow
wifli them without his knowing it. Except
from Shakespeare, there is indeed, no other
place in which h" cool I have obtained his
strong hold of Saxon Engli-ji ; and of Sliake—
there is no evidence that he enjoys more
- than fhe knowledge which educated people gen
tra i I v'possess.
But ihis is travelling further fiom the record
than we intended. The great body of this ad-,
• dress, Reminds us much mor<* of Judge Black,
than of Shakespeare or:thveEvangelisls. There
is everywhere displayed in it, that uncontrolla
ble disposition to say just what he pleases to say,
nndas.be pleases to say it, that few other men
Take these passages as illustrations.—
Thelßbnnecticut settlers resolved, tiiat they
' wouhlJive according to tlie laws of God, until
tjjiey .hid time to make hi tter. So we profess
to have taken a system formed in the councils
<>! Omniscience, which came from the hands of
lis Author round and perfect like a star : filled
. t
with all forms nf mnrnl'hpnutv, and radiant with
miracles of light: and we boast that we have
adopted this system witli such amendments as
our superior wisdom has found it necessary to
make. Again "i! it {Religions" Liberty,) be
wrong; it cannot now be mended. For those
who are not content with it,theiei,is no Imlp,
except in emigrating to some place where per
secution is not forbidden : and, even then, lin-ir
comfort may depend very much on, wh.th.-r
t!mv are permitted to indict ihe p ( rs. cot ion, or
compelled to sutler it. A British officer, just I
returned from India, was asked what he thought j
of lion hunting . ' The sport,' said lie. i\< , j
(elh-nt as long as con are liuntiug the lion : but '■
it gets rather disagreeable when the lion begins
t./ hunt you.' "
Speaking of William Pt-nn, he says. "lie
was not the verv foremost, hut he w -. union fr ]
the lore;; ■ st to disclaim all power of coercion
over the conscience. This alone, if In- hat' j
• lone nothing. e'.-e, would have marked the tall- :
ness of iiis intellectual stature : for, when the j
light ( ! a n*w truth is dawning tiptfti the world,
