United —We notice that
the Opposition papers-of this State
V e now-agitating the subject pf the selec- j
lion of delegates to the Chicago National
Convention, some favoring their appo’int
uiont by the State Convention which meets
on Wednesday next, and others'demand
ing that they be selected by Congressional
Conferences. In the event of the selec
tion of the delegates by the State Con
vention, Pennsylvania will send a united
delegation, while their selection by con
ferences would result id sending a divided
delegation. We do noiprofess to be very
well booked up in the politics of the pres
ent, day,, (? or does it much concern us as
to who arc the candidates of different ;
parties, further than that they bo good
men,) yet we can easily foresee the result
to ij’eunsylyania, should her delegation he
divided, as it might he, unless selected by
the State Convention. It 'cannot reason
ably he expected that the delegates of oth
er States would support a man from Penn
aylvanhi, for either office, should he not
receive, the united support of the delegates
.from,his Stated T)ie only hope of Penn
sylvania is in sending a united delegation,
and the surest plan of securing such a
delegation is to allow the State Convention
to select it. .
Payment of State Taxes. —An ef
fort is being made in certain quarters to
xecujo tbe enactment of a law, by the pre
uent-jliegialatare which, if passed, will be
, an advantage to. the people in the payment
of tbeir State taxes. According to tbe x j
present law, if the Revenue Commission-.
ersfix the amount of State tax to be paid ]
by a county, say at $lO,OOO, and the As
sessors, of the county should assess $12,-
000 State tax, the j State will claim the
2,000 exQdss. The law proposed will give
; the§tate no more thanrphe amount fixed
by the. Revenue Comm-|aionere, and cer
tainly lhat is all she is Entitled to, thepx
e’ess to go into the.county fund, to be used
foi county lt is, impossible for I
' the county assessors to assess an amount
; exactly eqnal to that fixed by the Revenue
- Commissioners as the quota to be paid by
the county; sometimes it may be too high
' —if top low, the county-must mate up
I &e T dafieiency, and if too high, of course
■ - theoounty ought to get the excess. The
law proposed is a just one, and We hope it

row, end I look for a large turn-out of the quill
driving fraternity. As usual, I presume those
editors whose editorial labors are comprised in
the onerous duty of setting up half a colhmtoof
original matter weekly, will figure most conspi
cuously, as tantofore.
The political cauldron is seething and bub
bling .at a terrible rate. Gov. Boeder has de
clined. in a letter which was received hero on
Friday last This gives Curtin an unexpected
accession of eight votes. He has also .gained
Within a week past three delegates in Montgom
ery, and two in Lancaster, no
mination beyond the possibility of a doubt, un
less something should transpire between this
and the 22d inst, of which nothing is known.—
Mr. Covode is here, but I think he gives np al l
hope of getting the nomination. Like Town
send Haines, Samuel ISlvin, find Mr. Kline, he
will probably be satisfied with a complimentary
vote this time, in hopes of better luck next time.
On the other side, there is no telling who will
get the nomination. Many contradictory rumors
are afloat—among others which fregard as very
vague, is one that president Buchanan indicates
a preference for Ajrnold Plummer. It does not
follow that the action of the Beading Conven
tion should be governed by such preference. but
if it is, and Plummer is nominated, I thus ear
ly predict his defeat by a larger majority than
that party bos ever sustained in this State.
Yesterday in the Senate Mr. Landoii read a
bill in place an act to prevent the, sale of adul
terated vinous, fermented, or spirituous liquors.
The act provides for such penalties for adulter
ated lixuors as must put, ajchcek to that unholy
traffic, if it does not destroy it altogether.
On Friday last Mr. Bell called up the follow
ing bill in the Senate, which was passed to a
second reading, and laid over for the present;—
An Act to autliorizothe appointment of board* of visitor* |
to the several bouse* of employment, nod fur the support
' of the poor of-this Cumriionwealth.
Sec. 1. lie it enacted. <fe.. That in such counties of this
Commonwealth in which ti*ve been qr may hereafter be
established and erected bonnes for the employment and
Buppartof the poor, it shall be the duty pf the judge* of
the court of common pleas of the proper county to appoint ,
annually, at the first term of the court, aboard of visitors, ]
to;consist.of three Citisans of the county, one of whom ahull |
be a practicing physician. ‘ . „
Sec. 3. That the duties of thesaid hoard of visitors shall \
be to visit, as soon.aa practicable after their appointment,
the house of employment and snpport of their proper coun
ty, to carefully.inspect the same, and report in. writing to
the court its state and condition, the manner in which its
government fa administered, the defects Observable therein,
with suggestions for its improvement that, may present
themselves to the board, and generally such fact*, observa
tions and recommendations, as the said board may think
necessary, to the due government of the said house of em
ployment and support, and the improvement of the system
of public relief to the poor, and particularly as it relates to
and affects pauper lunatics; and the said report shall be
published in the newspapers of the proper county, for pub
lic information, at the.expense of the county.
I regard this he ft very importaut bill,.and
Lope that it will become a law. The real condi
tion of.a poor-house and its unfortunate in
mates can be better ascertained than by a stew
ard’s annual statement.
The charter of the Neitry Bailroad Company
still remains unlifted, and if not taken up with
in A year after its passage, it - becomes null and
void.
I suppose you noticed that a supplement to
the act incorporating the Pennsylvania Bail
Road Company was introduced into the Senate
last week. The principal object contemplated
by sus supplement is to compel' Mr. Thompson
to resign the Presidency of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. To, accomplish this, the supplement
enacts that the President of the Road shall not
bold the office et President of any other Rail
road .Company. It is well known that the office
pf President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany pays but a nominal salary, but that Mr.
Thompson is President of the Southern Pacific
Railroad, which Company rewards his services
with the liberal salary 0f526,000-per annum.—
The defeated .candidates for Directors of the '
Pennsylvania Railroad have thus raised a ques
tion of dollars aqd cents in order to force the
management of the Road out of the hands of,
the present Board. But such an object can not
be accomplished by any such underhanded
measures. Under the management of Mr.s
Thompson, ...the Pennsylvania Railroad has at
tained a name and reputation second to none in'
the world. His services are appreciated by the
travelling public as well as the stockholders and,
there is therefore ho danger whatever that this'
supplement will pass.
I believe I spoke in my last of theCollcges of
4he Commonwealth asking for an annual appro-,
priation. A bill has been reported—with a ne
gate recommendation, however I —prefaced with
’the following preamble:—

Oil in Western Pennsylvania.
A correspondent of the Sunbury A iran, ,
writing from Warren county, says ; — “ "I ue re
cent discovery of the oil springs in the western ;
part of Pennsylvania is more important than j
mony are aware of. In a conversation with an
intelligent gentleman from Warran, Pa., he in
formed me that one of the wells recently dug in ;
that vicinity, the production of oil was about ;
thirty casks, of forty gallons each, daily. The |
well is about seventy feet deep, and is bored j
through about thirty feet of a kind of soapstone, ;
after which it penetrates in sandstone forma- j
tioa, from the crivices of which the oil is forced
upwards to the surface. A small engine is I
used to pump up the liquid, about twenty-five j
per cent of which is oil. It is received in a 1
large vessel, from the top of which the oil flows, ,
while the water is run‘off at a point below the :
1 oil. In this simple manner the oil is separated
: from the water, and is worth there forty cents
I a gallon, At present tho crude oil is taken to
; Buffalo, and by a little refining is there st)ld at
i ninety,cents per gallon. There are now about i
1 thirty wells being dug and in operation in the
j western part of Warren county.

two o’clock some of the party observed a singu

was a strong current in the water, but an ex
amination disclosed the fact that tho ice upon
which they were standing had parted between
them add the shore, and that they were rapidly
floating into Lake .Huron. They at once put
their horses in motion to find some point where
they could get to the main land, but could find

for a coat. Ho and his wife keep a public house
at a house called Peg’s Pebble. It is said that
Bafnum, of the Now York Museum, offered the
couple $l6OO per year and their expenses, if
they would come to New York, but they refused
telling him they did. not wish to be looked at so

they showed this note fit the hotel, and the mob
