Boston, on the 28tti uit. He was the grand-son
of the Prescott thai commanded at Bunker Hill.
The Pacific Railroad Bid has passed the
7J. S. Senate, in such a shape as will, doubt less,
develop the best route for the road, and will
bring to the knowledge ol Congress a!i tne re
sources of the various sections of country
through which conflicting interests demand
that h shall pass. It is not likely that 'any con
clusive action will be taken on the subject by
the present Congress.

Till E TO THEIR PROMISES.
The fourteen Democrats in Congiess from
this St Me, have nobly redeemed the pledges
made by themselves and lh-.:r friends in regard
to the revision of the Tariff. Our own mem- j
her, HON. WILSON REILLV, has ued his best j
exertions, in behalf of the interests of Penn- j
svlvania, and his Democratic colleague, Ms. \
PniLLirs, has framed a Tariff bill which, if'
passed, would certainly prove satisfactory tot
all classes of our citizens. The paramount
object of Ma. PIMLLPS, hill, is revenue, but it
also aims to give incidental protection to such j
of our industrial interests as are thought to
le piire it. This bill is all that the iron men
can ask, whilst at the same lime it is framed
with that special Democratic regard for the
welfaieof the masses, which should always be
. ■ I r~y .7>R IT IIII.I; ~TS
so lightly esteemed by the extreme protection
ids. Every Democtatic Congressman from this
State will vote far it, and if the Opposition an*
really desirous of a higher tariff than the one in
force at present, they can attain the object of
their wishes by doing so likewise. The Penn
sylvania Democrats have redeemed their
promises concerning the tariff, will the Black
Republicansand Know Nothings redeem theirs ?
HEDFORD RAILROAD.
From what we can Earn concerning the
above-named project, we may safely predict
that it will prove entirely successful. There is
hardly a doubt but that the "iron steed"' about
whose thundering tramp and roaring snort we
read so much, will before many years come
nulling into old Bedford with all the rattle and
clangor of his noisy hoofs. What an era in the
history of our county will it be, when the far
mer shall always have a market at his own
door; when real estate shall double its valfle,
and labor command corresponding wages .
when stage-coaches shall be numbered among
the things that were, and the "occupation" of
six horse road-tearrs shall have "gone," like
Othello's; when Broad Top coal shall glow in
our grates at G cents a bushel, and hickory
shall be used for nought but liberty-poles, axe
hamlles and split-brooms: when, in short, we
shall be connected by railroad with the <rreut
cities and commercial marts of this grea' coun- ;
try! But a truce to speculation; there should
be none of that, now, for, doubtless, contrac
tors and sub-con tractors will show us enough I
of it before the Bedford Railroad shall be finish
ed. We will only add thai there is slill room
on the subscription books of the company for a
few more names, and (hat all interested in the I
making of file road, should once more give it a
"shove," cither by subsciibing additionally, j
themselves, or by inducing others to do'so.
ANOTHER FIRE.
On Saturday night last, at about nine o'clock, ,
the Stable of Ma. Jo>i:ni CLAAIJ, in the Wcs- I
tern part of our town, was discoveied to be on
fire. A considerable quantity of straw and
other combustible matter having be-o stowed
away in tin* building, the devouring element |
made short work of it. This is the third stable
that has been destroyed by fire in this place and
vicinity, within the last few months. What
is singular about this stable-burning, is the fact
that it has thus far occurred at or n<*ar the same
points at which former fires of a simi'ar kind
took place. This would seem (0 indicate that
these ill-fated spots are the haunts of suspicious
character?, who probably bivouac thereo* nights,
and by carelessness, accident, or design, set fire '
to-their lodgings. Our borough fofheis should i
see to these thing*. 1
''POOR WHITE TRASH" AXD RICH !
NEGROES.
The N w York Tribune , (he acknou jedgeJ
organ of (he Black Republicans, in a late art icle j
on the revolution in Hayti, makes the following '
infamous and disgraceful comparison :
" A considerable part of the white popula
tion (of Hayti at the time of the abolition of
slavery in that country v w ere petit blancs,
so called, little whites, the same with the
POOR WHITE TRASH of our Southern States,
without education, or property, but exceedingly
tenacious, like OUR POOR WHITE TRASH
NORTH and South, of a distinction which
••nabled thm to lake rank of the most ac
coir.p isls-'.I and wealthy MEN OF COLOR !"
Here this Black Republican oracle intimates
that the p.or white people of our country and
the "little whiles''' of Hayti, occupy the same
jiositi >n in the scale of society, and declares that
the former w ere enabled "to take rank of the
most accomplished and wealthy men of color,"
| thus placing our poor while population on a
level with the negro 1 What will the intelli
gent American laborer say to this ? Shall such
a degrading insult to a class that forms the bone
and sinew of our land, go unrebuked ? The
"poor white trash," forsooth ! L"t the poor
man remember this stigma that Black Re
publican aristociacy fixes upon his name. Let
him remember it and let him resolve to wipe
out of existence the party that dares thus to
dishonor him.

The Public Debt.
In his late message Gov. PACKER presented a
very lucid and satisfactory view of tfie present
condition of the State finances, including the
revenues, expenditures and indebtedness. The
real debt of the Commonwealth, funded and
unfunded, he sets down at §39,208,111. lo:
—and adds, "to meet this, besides the ordinary
I sources of public revenue, the State owns bonds
received from the sale of the public works, and
| which I have every reason lo believe, are well
! secured, amounting to §ll,l SI,OOO. Deduc
ting this from the outstanding debt, it leaves, to
Ibe otherwise pro\ ided for,'the sum of §28,057,-
j til. 16." Governor continues—Mt is
j believed that, with the existing sources of
: revenue, and the observance of strict economy,
lit.;. v ._ ——l —>—rm- ctrrrrm
: year, at least §1,000,000." . •
These are truly words of enconrageine nl that
carry hope and confidence to the hearts of the
' tax-payers. Our State debt, ( should the bonds
referred to by the Governor, be sacredly preser
ved fir the purpose to which they were orfo
j inaily destined,) is now virtually but $28,087,-
111. 16„ and we alraady have a sinking fund
j ol §1,000,000, per annum, which, with proper
! economy, may be continued from existing re
j sources. The importance of maintaining this
j fund cannot be over estimated, and it behooves
j the Legislature to co-operate with the Governor
iin giving it permanence, by pledges of fixed
i resources that cannot be disturbed. .
The potency o( such a fund is mighty for
! good. It would pay off our debt in eighteen
years—or, in other words, a million of dollars
I thus apriopriited annually, too ther with sl,-
40+,355 50, the sum required to pav the annu
al interest on our present diminished debt, will
discbarge principal and interest at the end ol
eighteen years. Thus our debt of $28,087,-
111.1(1 would he entirely liquidated by this
wise appropriation of but $18,000,000 I
j To show the vast importance of this measure
-till further i—should we goon paving interest,
| w ithont a sinking fund, at the end of eighteen
' years, we would have paid $25,278,399 90
! interest money, and still owe the same debt of
$28,087,111. 10, undiminished Out, with the
j proposed sinking fund, our debt would be all
paid, at the end of the lime specified, and thus
eighteen millions, in addition to the-interest
that must be paid without a sinking fund,
would pay the entire debt. It is as disheart
ening and unavailing as the labor of Systphjis,
to pay interest without 'inking the principal.—
It is also contrary to the honest habits of the
mass of our people, in their private dealings, and
their servants may rest assured that no measure
wMild be more popular with them than the
establishment, ii|>on an immovable basis, of a
sinking fund, at least large as that indicated

The Territorial Govfriuneots of Arizona,
ifacolah and Jefferson.
VV ASIII\(;TON , Jan. 2S.—The bills establish
ing 'ierritorial governments for Arizona, Daco
tab and Jefferson, were to-day introduced by
Mr. Stephens, in the House, on his own notice.
I'hey are not, therefore, repot Is from the
Committee on Territories, though exactly
similar to those agreed on by the Committee,
excepting the name of the Platte River country,
which is in Mr. Stephen's bill called Jefferson.
Jefferson will run from the one hundred and
lir.-.t degree to the Rocky Mountains, and from tie
forty-third degree to the New Mexican line.
The object of introducing the bills in this way
was to have them printed, so that when the
Committee on Teriitories is reached in the call,
tile bills then reported can be put on their pas
sage, the House in the meantime, having an
opportunity to read them.
BLACK AND H HITE. — We find in an ex
change paper the statement that seventy two
white f- nales were married to negroes in the
State of Massachusetts last year! If this be so,
it is carrying out the Abolition doctrine to
practical results.
The Banks to Pcns\lvania.
In the Auditor-General's report recently
made to the Legislature, presenting a state
ment of the condition of the Banks of this
Commonwealth during the last year, there are
one or two points, worthy of notice:
1. The amount the Banks owetUlheir stock
holders, depositors and credito s, Jin November
last, was $72,095,864 32.
2. Tiie amount of gold and silver at that
time, in all the Banks, was $i 1 ,+20,54-7 74.
That amount is money , but the balance is mere
ly credit, viz : $60,675,216 58.
If they are not asked ro pay this large a
niounl they can get along quite swimmingly,
but if some "Trust Company" should fail, or
some sudden demand arise for coin, their condi
tion, and that of the community, would be
deilorable indeed.
Most people seem to forget that the Banks
are bound to pay all their liabilities in specie.
There is a popular erroron this subject, namely,
it rs considered that a Bank is in a good condi
tion if its specie equals or is nearly equal to its
notes. Whereas it is bound to pay its deposits,
and other liabilities, in specie on demand, as
well as its notes.
Anolher popular error prevails on tire subject
of deposits ; they are supposed lo be money
placed in the banks for safe keeping : whereas,
they consist mainly of promissory notes, dis
counted by the banks : and, instead of being
money, are only credits.
Ir is a singular remedy—although not a
novel nor an original one—that is proposed in
certain quarters, namely : to use State stocks,
which are nothing but credits, to increase the
security of banks, when at present they stand
in the proportion of seventy-two of credits to
eleven of specie ! A remedy to increase the
disease is a little different fro n that of the
quack doctor, who gave his patient medicine
to produce fits, because he was srreat on fits ;
but the practice would be equally gsod in
either case.
Why cannot some wholesome measures be
adopted? As, for example, the establishment
of a Constitutional State Treasury ; tire prohi
bition of notes under twenty dollars ; the au
thentication of the issu- and circulation of cer
tificates of the deposits ol gold. Some meas
ures like these might prevent the evil conse
quences of our system of banking, andsive the
people a sound currency.— Pennsylvanian.
THE AIM OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
"There is no middle ground," says Giddings;
"the Republican party must be one. thing or
the other—radical Abolition or nothing. Ii
must plant itself on the old and despised Aboli
tion platform, or abandon its organization as a
party. An active, hostile interference with
the institutions ol the Southern Slates is impera
tive. on the patl of the R publican party, or its
organization cannot be maintained. We must
take and maintain positive Anti-Slavery ground.
The Republican party must come upon my old
Abolition*platform, and wage an uncompromi
sing war upon the South —if disunion be the
result, all right."
Such in effect is the language of Giddings,
whom a majority of the present Republican
party, while they acted as Whigs, ridiculed and
opposed. -Giddings tells them the truth when
he savs they must take th"ir stood on the old
I true blue Abolition platform. That i 3 precisely
what they have got to come to —and most of
them are already there,
i No one who has watched the progress of the
i Anti-Slavery movement in our country, will
! question the correctness of Mr. Gidding's propo
| sition. The Republican party must float oo the
f.wave nli- 4 "—I~*ajLT-iliini-jil 1 ~*ajLT-iliini-jil ar ajhylt o-* rise "O
j more. In time of comparative quiet it may

1 it means to act within tire scope and iiinits of
the Constitution, but when the final struggle
i comes, the old banner of disunion and higher
j law w ill be raised, and the real purposes of the
j organization be plainly revealeJ. That purpose
is to override the Constitution by means of po
| litical power obtained in asedional issue, and
j thus virtually dissolve the Union, or compel
| the people of one portion of it lo accept such
i terms as the victors shall be willing to extend,

the Republican parfv, tlr-y are bound by its
doctrines.— Pennsylvinian.
HUNTINGDON, PA. —On the 17th inst.. Eiias
B. VV ilson, Esq., summoned a jury, and procee
ded to hold an inquest over the remains of a
j man Idund on Terrace Mountain, some time
j since. Alter a careful investigation, the jury
j returned a verdict of death by violence, by
I some person or persons unknown to them.—
i The skull gave evidence of violence, as it was
J fractured in several places. The man's name
is supposed to have been Dr. Mayer, who left
i Woodbury, Bedford county, about the last of
| May, or ist of June, 1856, <o go to Philadel
i pbia, since which time he has not been heard
! of, nor has been known lo have reached that
! place. He was a German by_ birth, and is
; supposed to have been a Jew, from thp fact that
[ he had two straps about him, which are worn
j by the Israelites, in commemoration ol their
deliverance from bondage. There was also
found with the remains, a small band trunk,
1 which contained one glass inkstand, one taper
match box, one tin match box, the cla<p cr
frame of a portmonnaie, the frame of a cigar
case, and a wooden box filled with matches,
which the jury believe to have been the property
of the deceased. They aie also of opinion, from
the appearance of the deceased that he had
been lying theie from four to seven years.—
Huntingdon Globe.
A MOURNING DOG. —The Boston Transcript
says a police oflicer pointed out a rare instance
of canine affection to-day. Ajhandsome Scotch
terrier has tor two or three weeks past watched
beside a grave in King's Chapel burying
ground, night and clay without cessation, save
only occasional intervals of short duration,
when obliged to absent himself in quest of food
to prevent actual starvation. During the last
severe snow slonn the humane officer first
discovered the dog at his devoted duty, and
endeavored to call him away for the purpose of
giving him shelter ; but the faithful animal
would not leave the sacred spot, and responded
only in wailing deeper and more melancholy
than those of the storm. Even the. subsequent
intense cold weather, with the thermometer at
15 degrees below zero, did not drive him from
his guard, and he may still be seen daily at his
post of watchfulness over the remains of some
beloved human being whom he has enshrined
in his affections. The sleepless interest
manifested by Ibis poor brute would seem to
indicate that he cherishes some idea of literal
resurrection of Iris friend, and that he must be
constantly watching for bis coming.
THE BOARD OF CANAI. COMMISSIONERS After
a bill bad been can-fully matured providing for
the abolition of the Board of Canal Commission
ers on the 10th of February oext, Ibe Senate,
upon information which imperatively deman
ded prompt action, concluded that the safest
course was to put an immediate period to the
duration ol'the Board by abolishing it without a
mom"nt' delay. As stated on the floor of (he
Senate, this action was demanded by the abase
of the last hours of power on the part of the
majority of the Board, in disinterring and
allowing claims long since rejected as merit less.
The Canal Board has received much unmerited
abuse from the Opposition, and now that it is a
baut being abolished, they give it a parting
kick, as if its errors and faults were l!ir-ir spe
cial aversion. This spi.it renders necessary
| the observation that the aliowancejof the claims,
alleged to be rotten, followed cloae upon the
' heels of the entrance of an Opposition member
: into the Board, who has been landed in all the
j Opposition prints, both before and since (he
: election, as just the man to put an end to the
! corrupt practices nf (he Canal Board. We
know nothing positively of the merits or ilemT
! its of the claims allowed, but while Judge
i Strickland [aud Mr. Piumer were both members
j of the Board, these claims could not receive
j their sanction.— llurrisburg Patriot,

Don'i Tse Much Medicine.
There are few persons in this country who
are not continually pairing in some kind
of medicine, which is oftenjof a powerful nature.
Caution in diet, and the proper care in selecting
wearing apparel, will often do awav with its
necessity. Jf you do fall sick apply to a good
physician. If you have a cough or cold, do not
neglect it, you can cure it by a few doses of

DIED:
On the 25th ultimo, departed this life, in the G3J

m*-.—i^, n r c ~ ,-xcfnient Ciliz-n
has brought affliction and desolation, not only to bis
beloved consort and immediate relations—but a!-o
to the community at large of which be was a use
ful and acceptable member, 'the loss of a dear
daughter but three weeks before, and ihe news of the
decease ol his venerable mother about trie same time
preyed very much on his spirits. In the spring of
1820, the deo'd came to this place in the capacity of
teacher in the then :- BeJlord Academy;" an office
which he so faithfully and honorably fulfilled, that
to this day, many now living bear testimony to his
-kill as an instructor, ati.l to bjs probity as a chris
tian and a man. He subsequently embarked in the
mercantile profession: and during his course in this
avocation, he won golJen opinions from all sorts
!of men. His punctuality—honor—honesty— and
general integrity have been recognized by the unan
-1 imous voice of his fellow citizen-; as was most sen
sibly demonstrated by the extraordinary concourse
j that followed his remains to the grave. By
ibis enlightened and freely given counsels, he was
•au eve to the blind—a foot to the lame and a light
; to the perplexed and the doubtful.
Born at Gongh's town, New Hampshire, (the land
| of the Puritans) he was not originally a Roman
j Catholic—but subsequently embraced that faith al'-
| ter deep study and conviction. If his lo>s to socie
i ty and to the church of which he was so valued and
consistent a member to the moment of his decease,
be an irreparable one—much more so is it to his
now stricken ar.d desolate h^me —to his sorrowing
iiiconsriUte widow, cbild and near and dear relatives
and friends. Their con-olation must be founded in
Ihe memory of his many virtues—lns well-spent
life, and the bright hope of a blissful immortality
—which such a career, as his, trust inspire. They
are taught by true christian to say with
Israel's holy ktng; "I know () Lord, that thy judg
ments are just: and in thy truth, thou ha,t humbled
ne." And bowing to the adorable will of God, in
thi3 afflictive dispensation, they can pray with the
same pious prince and prophet; "O let thy mercy
be for tny comfort, according to thy word, unto thy
servant —let thy tender mercies come unto rne and
