THE IMPOSTORS OF THE LAST CAM
PAIGN.
We need not r n.md the readers of this jour
nal, that during the !a<( campaign we did our
best to warn the people against the frauds and j
hypocrisy of the Nadirs of the Opposition. —
We prophesied that all th.-ir ranting about "pro
tection," all their out-cry for a revision of the
tariff, would prove but hollow pr. fences, and
that the)' would nut fa Nil tiuir promises to the
people, concerning the Tariff, should they be
elected. That we were right in our predictions,
is fully shown by the action ol the Opposition
in Congress, in endeavoring to stave off the
revision of the Revenue laws, and thus to j
keep in force the present low Tar iff, of which j
they, last fall, complained so bitteily. The i
telegraph informs us that the "R-publican"
Senators and Representatives in Cong:. "have
come to the unanimous conclusion that parties
and politics are so shaped in the present Con- j
gress, that nothing w ill be effected during this
session, concerning a modification of the Tariff."
This, being interpreted, means that those ' Re
publican" Senators and Representatives, "are
determined that nothing shall be effected du
ring this session of Congress concerning the
modification of the Tariff." They reckon thai
as they were able, last winter, to defeat the Pres
ident's Kansas Bill, they will, (by a curt filia
tion similar to that by which they succeeded in
doing the former) be alike successful in preven
ting the c-sfablisti ment of a proper Tariff.—
Their object in opposing the revision ol the
Tariff, is to keep the question open for future
discussion. They found it useful to th-mi at
the last election, and they suppose that having
blind-folded certain people once, they can do
it again. They want the Revenue to fall shorti
so that the Government will lack the means of
paying its debts, and then they intend to raise
such a howl about "extravagant expenditures" •
of the Administration, as will r ing in the ears
of the Democracy for all time to come. And
if, perchancp, the "hard times" should contin
ue, they think to bellow as lustily as evei for a
high Tariff, and to make the people believe that
it was not their fault that tile Congress of 1853-
9, suffered the Tariff of 1537 to remain unchan
ged. Such impostors as these deserve to be
"whipped naked through the world," and if
the people do not soon protect themselves against
their imposition, they may look to be swindled
not only out of their votes, but out of their
rights as (fee and independent citizens.
MEETING OF THE LEGISLATI RE.
The State Legislature convened at Harrisburg i
on Tuesday last, but at the present writing we
have no account of its doings. The Opposition
members of the Lower House, have nominated
W. C. LAWRENCE, of Dauphin, for Speaker,
flooring COL. MCCLURE, oi Franklin. Lawrence
will, of course, be elected, as there is a decided
majority of the ring-streaked and striped in that
body. The Democrats have nominated P. G.
Grilman, of Luzerne, for the same office, and
Jacob Zeigler, of Butler, for Chief Clerk.
From the following which we take from the
Harrisburg correspondence of the Pittsburg
True Press (edited by a Republican) one might
be led to suppose that "Simon" will soon po : nt
up:
That distinguished individual, Gen. Simon
Cameron, is in town. I saw him on the street
to-day, in company with a distinguished Demo
crat, who has been in his pay for yeais. Of
course, Simon's mission is known. Some "hard
up" country editors, with an eye single to Mid
dietown funds, have raised his name to their
masthead for President in 1860. Ifo comes
here to feel the Republican pulse, and as there
are quite a number of Republican editors here,
and more daily expected, you may look out tor
a similar arrangement to that made by Ford in
1836.

SENATOR DOUGLAS IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.
Senator Douglas was serenaded last night and
in response made a speech from the balcony of
the Everett House. He defined his position in
rpgard to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and the
foreign policy of this country, but carefully a
voided recurring to any question of a personal
character, as between himselfand the adminis
tration ; contenting himself with saying that it
was the duty of a statesman to follow our prin
ciples to their legitimate and logical consequen
ces, regardless of the effect they may have on
our public position.
Mexican Hews.
Fiom Mexico, we have news of a rumor that
Zuloaga has offered to place Mexico under the
protectorate of Great Britain, and that a Mr.
Worrell has been despatched to England to ar
range the matter. A Spanish naval brig had
arrived offTampiro. A bottle bad been picked
up at sea, containing a written statement that
the Spanish frigate Cuadaioupe had been wreck
ed off the Island of L bos, while making prepa
rations for the threatened attack on Vera Cruz.
A dejiosit of silver, amounting to $ 12"),009, had
beer found in a vault attached to the house, in
the city of Mexico, lately occupied by Mr. For
syth, as the United Stales Embassy. General
Zuloaga was still in the city ol Alexico, but was
preparing for flight at any moment. Several of
his Generals in the field had been defeated bv
the Liberals, and the Archbishop had refused lo
supply him with any more money. A trium
virate was proposed. Five French and three
Spanish vessels were at Sacrificios.
TRFJIENDOIS PILES OF GOLD.
The Bullion in the Bank of Fiance now
stands at about $ 120,0 ),0 J.)—a fir higher sum
than was ever held bv that estabiishmhnt, and
more than $9,000,000 in excess ol the largest
total ever collected in the Bank of England.—
At the commencement of the present year, the
Bank of France held less than $50,090,000, and
the influx in nine months has therefore been
$70,000,000. At the Bank of England the
total, at the beginning ol the year, wa $53,
000,000, and it is now more than $95,000,000.

ceeded in obtaining permission to visit Itim in
his cell, accompanied by a justice from Illinois

Canada and the ( mlrd Slates.
A correspondent of the Journal of Commerce
says that though neither her Majesty nor prince
Aibert can gratify the Canadians by a visit, yet
one of her sons—the Prince who has just enter
ed the navy, Alfred, born in 1844—will appear
as their representative. You must have hee
ded the frequent interviews of the distinguished
Canadian delegates in London with the members
|of the Cabinet, and the extraordinary lavors,
invitations tothe palace, and so forth, which
j they have received from the Couit. The main
! object is proclaimed to be a federation of the
! British North American Colonies : the railway
1 across the British territory to the Pacific coast
is, however, co-ordinate and necessarily or
• integrally connected. The study ol the British
| government is 110 longer confined to the means
!of simply preventing the colonies lrorn annex
ing themselves or being annexed to the Republi
can Union, but how to an equal, a rival
1 British power,the whole breadth of the cont
inent conterminous with the American popula
tion. The Toronto correspondent of the Lon-
I don Morning Post, remarks—"lt has become
jan utter impossibility to arrest that onward
' movement which will make Canada a formida
j ble rival of the disjointed and therefore misna
' med United Stiles." The Pout of the 23d or
| 24th contains a communication on the Atlantic
and pacific junction, which should not escape
j your notice. The writer had well studied his
j important subject. He explains in detail the
j relative positions "in the case of Gieat Bntain
' and our Republic? I shall veature to offer you
i here a short extract :
"In America we have a rival that fully ap
! preciates the necessity ol railroad communica
tion with the West. Assuredly she will strain
every sinew to beat us in accomplishing this
gigantic undertaking. Let us first consider our
own status in the matter, then that of our highly
enterprising rival. England is already fuilher
across the huge continent of America than are
the Americans themselves in lorniing a basis of
operations for a railroad to the Pacific. In our
British North American possessions the route is
feasible of construction, and is superior to any
which the United States aflbrd."
Bat the correspondent shows further that, in
point of tune, Britain cannot compete with
America in the Southern transit ; the more
imperative, therefore, an overland route through
the Biitish possessions. He describes the Ameri
can overland mail, and adds :
"The same contractors are in readiness to
contract v\ ii!i the British and American Govern
ments to carry a mail Irorn St. Paul and
Pembina to Fraser River, through British
America."
The Gold ol Pike's Peak.
The Washington Union has published a let
ter from J. C. Hemingway, &. Co,, of Leaven
worth ci'y, Kansas, to Gen. Ward Burnett,
which stuns up the following information HI re
gard to the Pikes Peak gold mines :
Ist. The gold is found on the surface, and,
at various distances, to the depth of eight feet.
*2d. The "bed rock" has not yet been reached
by any of the miners.
3J. With the iudest implements they were
able to obtain from $2 to per day.
•Ph. With improved means, such as "sluices"
and "tonis" there are "millions of acres" (to
use their own phrase) that will produce
S2O per da)', and many places as much as $lO.
slb. That this new gold region ditfers Iron
California in this : The gold is scattered broad
cast over a vast extent, and not found in "pock
ets," "gulches," and ravines," as in California
thus insuring a support, at least for every man
that is disposed to labor.
6.0. The specimen accompanying this note
constitutes a part ol the labor of the Messrs.
Russell, in "more than five hundred different
places."
7th. The last place they labored was at
"Cherry creek," sixty miles noitheast from
"P-ke's Peak." This creek empties into the
South Fork of the Platte, on the South side of
that river. At this point, Cherry creek, they
found the richest "diggings."
The Gamblers in Council.
The Gamblers of the United States are hold
ing a National Convention in Chicago. They
are said, by the Democrat, of that city, to make
a decided sensation, being distinguished by
their sleek appearance, sharp looks and display
of jewelry. The purposes of the Convention
are, first, to revise the old rules and establish new
ones lor their games : and second, to impose on
the profession non-inteifeience in politics.—
The importance of the first reform is indicated
by the fact thai several lives have been lost in
broils arising from different constructions of the
rules. As for the second, it seems to us, judg
ing from recent revelations and notorious (acts
respecting the habits of leading public men, that
an obvious way to efTect it is to exclude politi
cians from gambling houses—a measure which
would almost involve annihilation of the busi-
ness.
Another Steamboat Accident.
The large stern wheel steamer Metropolis,
Capt. Calhoun, bound from Pittsburg for New
Orleans, with a cargo of over four hundred
and fifty tons of produce and Pittsburg manufac
tures, ran into the bank during a fog, one
morning, last week, at two o'clock, at Sug3r
Creek, belov/'Cincinnati, and instantly sunk.—
The boat is a complete wreck, iiaving broken
in two. There were no lives lost. The Sev
enty-six coming up, landed at the wreck, Capt.
Barclay and his crew rendeiing all the assist
ance required. She lies with her bow direct
ly in the mouth of the creek, with the water
above her cabin floor aft. We understand she
went into the bank under a full head of steam.
The tall timber knocked her chimneys down-
The wreck will be out of water when the river
recedes eight or ten feet. The Metropolis was
built at Pittsburgh, over two years since, and
was in h-T third season. She originally cost
twenty six thousand dollars, and it will be re
membered, exploded a boiler on her first trip,
above this point,killing Capt. Hazlett and others.
She is owned by her commander, Capt. Cal
houn, Capt. Hazlett's widow, and others in
Pittsburgh, where, we understand, she was in
sured for fourteen thousand dollars. The loss
of boat and cargo will amount to over one hun
dred thousand dollars—the hulk being fiom
Pittsburgh, and points above Cincinnati.
There is a law in Natchez, Miss., which
authorizes the Mayor to announce every week
the current price of bread based on the cost of
first quality flour, and no baker can sell other
wise. For instance : lor the week commencing
Dec ember 7th, the Mayor gave public notice
that first quality of flour being worth $9 per
barrel, the weight of a twenty cent loaf must be
53 i ounces, arid in this proportion for the
smaller ones.
TRADE WITH THC NORTHWEST.—A letter
from Chicago, published in the Philadelphia
A or/A .American, says :
The fact is that, after all, the west and 1101th
west are the great purchasers and consumers ol
goods. They are more extravagant and use tip
more of some of the great staple manufactures
—say woolens, cotton and -hardware—and
there cannot be a revival of trade at the east to
any great extent, until they are again able to
buy liberally, and pay for their purchases
promptly.
I am sorrv to say thai, so far as northern
Illinois, Wisconsin, lowa and Minnesota are
considered—mote especially the two latter
—this longed for stale of things cannot be,
| until we have had a good crop, and not a full
restoration until alter we have had two good
j crops. We have been hardly dealt with, the
past twelve months—our crops of wheat and
10.ats neaily destroyed bv the wet weather of
tfie past summer ; and this fall, the trade f>r
i the season what Utile Ihete was expected—
j almost ruined bv two months ol continued rain
; and mud. I have been in this city sixteen
years, and comparatively speaking, have never
known it so miserably dull as during the past
six months. There are some branches of trade
I that are absolutely dead, for the time. There
is one thing pretty certain, however, that
I through economy, retrenchment and reform,
the odds and ends are getting pretty well used,
anil so soon 'as people are able to buy, their
necessities will require 4hem to spend the
money freely.
Tin: Parts correspondent of the fiiston Tran
script states that he has visited the studio of
Greenough, the sculptor, and says :
On entering, I was struck with a statue of
Washington, which he had just finished. As
an equestrian statue, it is unique iti its way.—
Tile horse, instead of being rampant, as is al
most always the ca3e, has his head to the ground.
He has just been relieved from the pull of the
General's hand, and, with head down, is cham
ping the bit, just as any one may observes
horse doing altera hard tide. Let the reins go
and at once the animal u ill stretch his neck and
champ the bit, thus resting the muscles that
have been drawn upon for some time. The
horse is finished in such a masteily style lint
all the jockeys who have seen it are rapturous
in their applause. The artist has chosen Ihe
most auspicious moment in the great man's life
to represent. The General is in the act of shea
thing his sword.
A GREAT Jut. DELIVERY ! —Two MURDER
ERS AT LARGE—TEN PRISONERS GONE. —On
Sunday afternoon, about four o'clock, one of
the officers of the county prison went into the
jail for some purpose, and was struck with the
remarkable fact that with the exception of one
or two colored men imprisoned for trilling of
fences, none of the prisoners could be seen.—-
It was not long before Mr. L iwe discovered
what had become o! them. A good sized open
ing through the three foot wall in the r-ar or
west end of the prison told the story. Ten of
them had dug thioogh the wall and escaped.—
The wall through which they dug is in the dar
kest part of the pi ison, and the aperture opens
into a small room direcily beneath the arena of
the Court room. After once getting into the
vacant room below the entrance, it was an ea
sy matter to ascend tiie dark flight of steps,
break open the ordinary door, and be at liber

The following ire the nams of the escaped
prisoners and their crimes.—Conrad Seibold, in
dicted for the murder of Henry Korrell on 27th
ot June last. John Fronenberg, also indicted
for the murder ot Koriell. These two are the
most impoitant cases. Seibold and Fronenberj
are both desperate and dangerous men, and will
not be retaken without a mortal struggle. These
same men made an attempt to break jail by
sawing away an iron grating, two or three
months ago, but were fortunately discovered on
the eve of the execution of their plan. The
other prisoners escaping are Milton Dud lev,
horse stealing ; George Miller, burglary ;
Thomas Smith, sent to jail to await trial at Com
mon u leas Court for shooting Philip Barnell,
with intent to kill : Thomas Watson, sent to
jail upon the same charge; Wm. Williams, pe

Armstrong, petit larceny : James Brown, petit

Ix twenty-four of the thirty-two States, ne
groes are allowed no political privileges what

Ax old man, a beggar, was arrested in Wash
ington on Tuesday, for carrying concealed
weapons. He was seaiched at the station house,
and about §1,4-00 in notes and American and
other coin, was found in his pack, along with
old watches, awls, tiles, needles, soap, &c.—
He, a Swiss, has been in this country about 15
years, and there is so much sickness in this
country he is determined to go back to Switzer
land, and in order to obtain money that was not
depreciated in Europe, he had bought French
coin for American. The pistols were for self

How a Man's Life is Sometimes Pro
longed.
Below will be found a certificate from one of
our most respectable citizens, residing in Patton
township, regarding the efficacy of Dr. Keyser's
Pectoral Syrup, a medicine which we have
favorably known for a long time, and which is
attested bv hundreds of our immediate citizens,
in every walk in life. Whatever some may
think of what are usually termed patent medi
cines, we have entire confidence in Dr. Key
ser's Pectoral, as we are assured that the Doctor
prepares every ounce of it with his own hands.
"Some time ago, an old neighbor of mine was
very ill with a bad cough, which every one
supposed to be consumption. His relatives told
me that he had taken every remedy they heard
of without benefit, his brother came to see him
die, and all were confirmed in the belief that he
could not live. I nad about a third of a bottle
of your Pectoial Syrup, which I gave him, and
it entirely cured him to the astonishment of all.
What makes the case more remarkable is the
extreme age of the man. he being about eighty
years old. I have no doubt the Pectoral saved
his life. JOHN M'GINNIS,
