Our neighbor* of the Gazette have been harping for several weeks on the fact that Messrs. Russell, Barudollar, and Cline voted for the insertion of the word white in the Constitution of Pennsylvania in the Convention of 1839. Thirty years have made great changes. Human civili zation has made vast strides in that time in the way of progress. We have no doubt that if those three very worthy gcutlemen were living to-day and privileged to recoD aider their act of thirty years ago tbey would vote to day just as Stutzuian, LoDgenecktr and Weller voted. Why less than ten years ago these very scribblers for the Gazette were crying aloud iu defence of slavery as a divine institution. They have since then defended and advocated the cause of one of the most iniquitous rebellions that ever dis graced the annals of Christendom. They arc already heartily ashamed of both, though but five years have elapsed. If they had but for a moment considered their own course they would not have been guilty of the folly of making an appeal to an intelli gent community against human rights and human liberty, with no better argument than that because the fathers erred their sons should continue in the error. It is the argument of a class of people who know no reason for what they do and when asked are only to ejaculate "Daddy did so." Tbir ty years ago we travelled by coaches or on horseback from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh and the post was the most rapid means of communicating even the most important news. Thus did our fathers. Who start ing iu a hurry to Philadelphia would think of mounting his horse and spending a week on the road now, if business of importance required his presence there at the earliest possible moment ? Would the Gazette scril - biers do so? Verily they might and defend the wisdom of their conduct with their un answered "Daddy did so." If Business re quired the instant transmission of intelli gence to the remotest portions of the coun try would they hastily indite a letter, seal it with a wafer and send it by a messenger on horseback ? Surely they might and quote the example of "Daddy did so." Do the Gentlemen of the Gazette expect to ignore railroads, steamboats, telegraphs, revolu tions in science, art, and politics, all the progress of thirty years by the miserable ar gument that "Daddy did so" ? Thirty years ago the slave power wa lominant. To-day it is utterly destroyed, and Liberty is the watchword not only of the nation but of the world. A new and bettor era has dawned upon our nation. We are now living up to the full enjoyment of Jefferson's id- J. when he penned the glorious sentiments of tin great Declaration of Independence. This is a nation of FREE'SN. Awake ye sleepers! cease to dream of the dark, dead past. The sun of liberty has risen upon us, and a bet ter day has dawned. Your Rip Van Win kle sleep has bewildered your senses. Rub your eyes and look around yon. Daddy's old post chaise has become antiquated, hit wooden mould-board plow has rotted in the furrow, you need not go to seek it now, the last vestago has long since disappeared and like it the brutality and inhumanity of sla very have disappeared from oTr statute books forever. "Daddy did so" did not save it nor will it bave you. The men who voted for the Fifteenth Amendment will be held in grateful reuicuilrauce when the i memory of the slave-driver and all his lack eys shall have rotted in oblivion. THE AMERICA, 1 * YEAR- BOOK TOR 1869. The AMERICAN YEAR BOOK and NATION AL REGISTER, published by O. D. Case & Co., Hartford, condenses into 823 pages a large amount of important information re specting our own land and other countries. Besides very full snd complete calendar tables, it includes all the important celestial phenomena lor 1869 ; tables of Latitude and Longitude, and difference of time for 375 of the most important places on the globe; a list of the presidents, vice presidents, members of the cabinet, judges, &c., since 1789 ; aod of the Governors of the states and territories from their organization. There is an account of each department of the Genera! Government, with its bureaus, and chief officers and their duties. In the state department, under the head of Inter course with Foreign Nations, tbeie is a full list ol ministers, diplomatic agents, and con sular officers, wish their official residences, embracing all the places at which our gov ernment is represented ; and of the foreign legations in the I nited States with the con uls of foreign countries, and their places of business, including, in all, more than four teen hundred names. The full account of the Treasury Depart meat, Coast Survey and Light House Dis tricts; the Army and Navy, the military and naval academies, with lists of army and naval officers; the operations cf the Po-t Office department; the Patent Office and the Land Bureau ; the Departments of Ag riculture and Education; the list of colleges, collegiate institutions, medical, law and nor mai schools, will be of interest to many who have not access to a largo number of public documents, and who could gain the informa tion ooiy by .ong and laborious investigation. There is a condensed account of the pro ceedings of Congress including the Impeach ment Trial, Reconstruction in the Southern States, and other important matters: the national debt at different periods; receipts and expenditures of tl e government , sale* of merchandise; National Banks, and Ab stracts of the Public Laws. A brief historical notice Is given of each state and territory, with a list of the execu tive aod judicial officers; the number and term of service of members of the legisla tures; an account of the finances, state debt, l It;- ' Tn' cti'i-'ifWj -rd jnsriru- tions; and the population, wealth and in duatry of each. There is also a summary of all the foreigh governments, with the rulers, expenditures, revenue, army aod navy, and other important facts regarding each country. The statistics of the religions of the world give not only the general classification of different uatidns, but a detailed account of the number connected with each denomina tion io each state, and in other portions of the civilized world. There are miscellaneous essays upon Ag riculture; Currency and Finance; Mining; Literature and the Literary Influences of the day; and full tables of Presidential elec tion returns with the vote in each county for Electors since 1836. More tbaD 30 pages are occupied with the Record of Important Events in 1868, and the Obituaries include notices of 140 of the most eminent persons deceased in 1868. SUMNER'S speech on the Alabama Treaty has created quite a sensation in England. Unqualified condemnation is heard on every aide, but no attempt to refute Sumner's ar guments has yet been made. Our British neighbors arc heartily sick of the ugly ques tion of the Alabama claims, for they know our claims are just and we have the power to enforce thein, but they are loathe to ac knowledge their wrong. After tbia bit of bluster is over we shall soon have them ne gotiating for a settlement; for while we can. they canuot, afford to leave it an open ques tion. Johnny Bull evidently has a pretty large elephant on his hands just now. THE latest newspaper sensation is the outrageous conduct of the New York Sun in publishing a garbled batch of private letters purporting to have been written by John K. Young of the New York Tribune. The act of the Sun vras -imply outrageous and seems to have been dictated by a spirit of pure mal ice. Very damaging charges are brought against Mr. Young for which he has brought.-uit for libel against the editor of the Sun, Mr. Dana, laying damages at 8100,000. Mr. Young has also pro-eeuted the proprietor of the Philadelphia Press for the publication of the same letters taken from the Sun. V. K are indebted to our member of the Legislature J. 11. Longenccker Esq, for copies of the Registry Act, and the Appro priation Bill, the latter of which will receive our attention as soon as we have time to examine it. We think there urea num her of items in it that will bear discussion not only with advantage to the taxpayers but also to the Republican party. Republican ism is pledged to retrenchment and reform and though much good and praiseworthy work has already been done we think there is still room for more. * GENERAL ROSECKANS is intent on sig nalizing his Mexican mission by the pur chase of a little more land and writes home lor a little more time to complete his negotia tions with the Juarez Government. When shall we cease to buy useless lands ? (Jan wo not have an act of Congress to prohibit wholesale purchases of real estate by the government at least until we get our pres ent indebtedness into a manageable shape. Let u> have no more purchases until we are out of debt. Perhaps ere that we may get plenty without buying. MR. CHARLES G. LELAND sails for Eu rope to-day in the Pereire from this port. He has retired we believe for awhile from the labors of journalism, and purposes re maining abroad one or two years at least. The progenitor of Hans Brcitmann is sure of a cordial reception in England; and whih we shall regret the absence of a gentleman who has reflected so much credit upon the literary profession, it will be pleasant to know that American humor and American scholarship will both be honored abroad in his person. Tribune. IT is still rumored that the our Govern cnent has determined to grant belligerent rights to the struggling Cubans, hut the report is considered premature. No fears are entertained of any undue haste in the matter. Though our people everywhere In urtily sympathize with the revolution there is no disposition to forget the rights of -ister nations or to compromise the charac ter and dignity of our own. LATE reports from the Pacific Railroad revi al an amount of deception, mismanage ment and bad faith generally, that will verj much abate the joy with which our peoph would otherwise hail the completion of thi gigantic enterprise. If renders pretty ct-r tain what has already I ri strongly hiuted, tlsat government should leave future roads to the management of individuals and pri vate enterprise. SECRETARY BOLTVYELL still continues his work of reform and retrenchment in the Treasury Department. His work is already beginning to tell. The forthcoming monthly statement of the public debt will show a largely increased reduction. THE official Treasury statement shows a lecrea.-e of the public debt, during April of nearly six and a half millions. Of the $24,<100,000 due for interest May Ist, up wards ol $3,000,(XX) has been paid in ad vanee. TIIE Shippiiuiurg JVetcs recently burned out a few weeks ago is again upon our tat le perfectly restored. Its editor, D. K. Wag tier Esq., deserves great credit for his ener gy in revivifying it in so short a time. THE Mexican Government has deter mined to grant Cuba belligerent rights by the decisive vote oflOO to 12. THE Pennsylvania State Fair will be held at Ikirrisburg this year, commencing on tbe last Tuesdav of September. GOLD closed in New York Saturday at 1341@134i. THE cotton mills in tbe I nited States arc 6,527 in number, running 7.5*5,082 spin dies, and consuming 417,367,771 poueds ol cotton per annum. This vivos to each mill an average of 1,162 spindles, and a consump tion of 63,945 pounds of cotton per annum. The statistics, arranged acoord ng to the great geographical divisions of the country, are as follows. Northern States, 6,441 mill"-, running 7,359,020 spindles, consuming 385,- 952,021 pounds of cotton annually. South em States, 86 mills, running 226,062 spin dles, consuming 31,415,75U pounds of coilon annually. This gives to each of the mills in the Northern States 1,142-pinoles, and an annua! consumption of 59,921 pounds ol cotton, and each of the mills in the South ern State.- an average of 2 638 spindles, and an annual consumption of 365,290 pound of cotton. Tbe mills in the Southern States, it will be perceived, arc large e-tab lishments. THE Pennsylvania Central is stretching out its Biiar.an arms in all directions, and what it caicbcs in its embrace it is likely to hold. The Cincinnati Commercial is au thority for the statement that with a view to Southern business it has obtained con trci of the railroad from Covington, oppo site Cincinnati, to Louisville. This road has not yet heen open to travel, but will be in a week or two, as soon as some portions of it arc ballasted. It reduces the distance between Cincinnati and Louisville to one hundred and four miles. The Last Soldier of the Revolution. A correspondent of the Warsaw Demo crat announces the death of Daniel Fred erick Beak man. the last survivor of the Revolution, which took place at Sandusky, Cattaraugus county, N. Y., on the morning of April sth, 1869, at the green old ace of 100 years, being born in New Jersey about 1760. When a child, his parents emigrated to the Mohawk Valley, where they lived during the revolutionary war. Previous to the skirmish or battle of Fort Plain, in 1778. young Beukmao was enrolled in the militia, and took pert in that battle —his first service. At that time, being Dutch, and not un-ler-ianding our language, he could not tell whether he enlisted into the army or not. He only remembered that his cap tain's name was Yanarum. He was in the sen ice several months as teamster. About 182 S. he became a reddent of what is now the town of Arcane, Wyoming county, N. Y. About 1845 he removed to the town of Freedom, Catarangus county, where he has since resided. His wife, with whom he has lived over eightySve years, was two sears his senior, and died six years ago, aged 105. I n all applications for a pension, made b> his friends jn his behalf, there was a failure tor want of proof, until in February, 1867, when a special act was passed by Congress, allowing him, and Cray, of Ohio, SSOO per annum. In religion Mr. Benkman was a Lutheran; in politics a Democrat, voting firs' for Washington, and at all Presidential elections since, voting a Democratic ticket —except last fall, when he was converted, and voted for General Grant. His two eldest sons died a few months ago, over eighty years of age; several of his children arc now living. His descendants of the fourth and fifth generations are numerous. Can IVomen Keep a Secret! George Francis Train readers judgment a follows; Men say women c.iu't keep a secret. It is just the rever.-e-women can, men can't. Women carry with them to their craves secrets that would kill any man. Woman never tells; man always does. \V onian suffers and dies; man blabs and lives. Man cannot keep a secret; woman cannot make it known. What is sport to the man is death to the woman. Adam was a sneik. Eve would have kept the apple secret. Be ye fruitful. Whoever heard a woman talk about her love fiascos? Every body has heard a man gossip. Man de lights in tefing of his illicit conquests; woman would cut out her tongue first. Men are coarse iu their club room talk; women refined in their parlor conversation- Mho I'ver heard of a woman telling of her lovers? \\ ho has not listened to the dis sipation of the men? Men boast; women don't. Women never tell tales out of school; men ure always babbling. So down with another old adage. Woman cant keep a secret. COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. —John Stuart Mill, the celebrated Eneli.-h author of works on political economy, has recently written a letter on thesuhjeet of Competitive Examinations, as applied to the civil service in the United States. Ho says: "I have long thought that the appointments to nffice, without regard to qualifications, are the worst side of American instiiurions; (he main cause of what is justly complained cf in their practical operation, and the principal hindrance to the correction of what is amiss, as well as a cause of ill repute to demo oratic institutions all over the world. Il appointments wore given, not by political influence, but by opeu competition, the practice of turning out the holders of office at every change in politics, in order to re ward partisans, would necessarily cease, end with it nearly all the corruption and the la-gor half of the virulauce of mere party conflict. DISTRESSING CASE. —Some months ago the daughter of a Mr. Boliins, who live near Lin,sing. Mich., was suddenly afflicted with toothache, and despite all efforts to <-fleet a remedy, the evil increased, until me night the little one awoke with a pierc ing scream, holding the bad tooth in her hand. The pain continued, however, and. looking for the cavity in the gum, a swell nig, looking liken large boil, appeared there, he thing having grown until it had pu-h'd the tooth out of its socket From that time tHe swelling gradually but surely in •l eased its s /,e. Medical ixauiiuaUon -how ■d it to be a cancer, aud every effort by lance and otherwise, to prevent its growth had been unavailing. Some time since h<■ little one's mouth was so nearly filled with it, that she had to push her food to her throat with her fingers, and a few days once, the air-pipes being closed by the iliominable excrescence, she smothered to death.

TIJE Supreme Court of the United Sta'E hairen i.r d the following decision in the case of Ellen Kellc-y vs. Edwaid Owens, on appeal from the Supreme Court of the Die trict of Columbia, to wit: That any alien white wotuao married to a citizen of the United States is a citizen under the act of lOtli February, 1555, which is in the follow ing language: "Any woman who might lawfully be naturalized under exi-ting laws, mairied. or who shall he married to a citi zen of the United States, shall be deemed iod taken to be a citizen of the United "Mate-." There has hitherto been a grea< diversity of opinion as to the construction of the above act by the lawyers of the coun try, but the above decision settles the mat ter beyond controversy. JOHN P. IIAI.E, in compliance with the vflent. if not plainly expre-s d wish of the State Department, has re-igned the Span sh mission. Mr. Sanlord, at present mio i ter to Belgium, was nominated by tin Pie-ident a- llale's successor, but the Sen •t-t tabled the nomination, which is almost equivalent to a rejection. It is rumored that the President will give the appoint ment to General Sickles, who will be com mi-ion d in accordance gith the provisions of the amended civil tenure act. Mr. Hal< denies the charge of smuggling which has ken made against him, and Cor the honor "f the country as well as his own, we hop he may be able_ to successfully vindicate himself. There is at present an almost universal belief that he is guilty. LEBANON COUNTY ITEMS. —.l Flash of Light from a Cloudiest Shy.—A few week* ago, a* several gentlemen were engaged in conversation, at the residence of a friend in the eastern part of Lebanon county, tbev were startled, about ten o'clock at night, by a udlen flash of lisrht, whieh brilliant 1 v illumiuated the house and surrounding ob jects. Supposing that a storrn was coining on, one of the gentlemen stepped to the door, but not a cloud could be seen nor any object ftom which the light conld have pro ceeded. The only solution of the phenome non which they could arrive at, was that a very large and brihtant uieteor had passed athwart the heavens, and caused the sudden and startling phenomenon. THE Coolies introduced into the British West India Colonies during JB6B. according to Parliamentary return ju-t publi-herd's_ Supper with the long hair on his upper lip floating on the wine in the cup from which others have to drink." PASSENGERS arrived at San Francisco, on the 21st iost., via. the Pacific Railroad, in seven and a half days from Chicago—six and a half days actual traveling time. The gap between the two road—the Union Pa eific and the Central Pacific—was at that time 65 miles, making eight hours stagiog ; but this space is diminishing every day. ami ' the roads wjlj connect in the course of the J from New York to San Francisco. MR. S. WATKRIIOUSE, in the N. Y Tn- \ (nine, gives ail the facts concerning the cust ' of making iron in this country, and shows' that the total co-t of one ton of pig iron ii j S2O. This iron sells for forty dollars at rv thus yi> lying a net profit of one hundred . per cent, on the total co-t; or, suppoai|g ! the investment made to be turned out ortly ; once in sixty days, which is a very low sup- ! position, a profi' of sis hundred per ceat. ! per anuum on the entire capital. A COPENHAGEN, DENMARK, despatch of the '.24 th inst.. says: The Dngbladet has an article upon ill" attempted -ales of the Dan ish West India Islands to the United States. It says that the question of the acquisition of the Antilles *o 'lie United State* ripens, and accuses America, by the recent action of its Congress, of a want of respect to the government of Denraark. It also state* that if the inea-ure finally miscarries, Count Raa*laeff will resign. FRANKLIN SMITH, a well-known lirston undertaker, died recently in New Hauio -hire, lie began hi* business in 1839. and up to April 1 of this year, had made 14 500 mterme' ts, he*ides his burials of the city noor. lie officiated at the fuuerals of cx President John Quiney Adams, Daniel Webster, Edward Fvsrett, and many other prominent tnen ; he ai-o had charge of the funeral of the soldiers killed in the streets of Baltimore. THE Detroit Post contains an account of a woman who, to "give the world assurance •fa man," went out West, bought 40 acre. •>f land, grubbed out fourteen acres of heavy <>ak, chopped and split rails, built a house, sowed eight acres of wheat, dug ditches, supplied her neighbors with ax-helves and -plint-baskets, besides attending to her do mestic "chores," all with her own hands, in i year and a half. She lives a'one, "keeps her own secrets." and is regarded as the "coming woman." Let her vote. REGOARS —The fact that there nro no liehrew, as there are no Quaker beggars, is owing to tho peculiar and systematic ar rangements made by these sees for taking ore of their poor. Each Jewish Synagogue has a committee of the most respectable members, wlnwe business it is to become acquainted with the condition of every He brew in their district, and if necessary, to afford assistance. The aged are pensioned, and the disabled placed in hospitals or fur nished with regular relief. THE NEW NICKF.L COINS.— 'The denom inations of the new coins are to be one, three and fite cents, and they are to be composed of one-fourth nickel and three fourths copper. The one cent coin is to weigh a grain and a-half, and will he about the *ize of a five cent silver coin. The three and five cent pieces are to be about the size of the one and two cent coppers now in use, and will weigh respectively three and five grains. The new coin is to be a legal ten der for a dollar, except for duties on imports, and a 1 the exi-ting nickel and copper coins withdrawn. THE Spaniel Cortes, by a large majority, have carri'd the articles of the new Consti tution which provide for liberty of the press, Ireedoni of meeting and association, and the right of petition. All the liberal move luents which took place in Europe in 1848 tiroelaitned tbese liberties, and. whenever they had the power, established thetu. But the reaction which has since swept over Eu rope has destroyed again in most States the fru't of the revolution of 1848, and, out-ide of England, Switz-rlaiad, Belgium and Hot land, there are now few countries in Europe which really enjoy thern. Spain will there lore rank in this respect among the freest nations of Europe, if the Constitution should ever be carried out. ft. H'CAMANT ions ELLIOTT D. T. CALDWELL J. E. HARPER WILLIAM STOKE.

S CATHARTIC PILLS, FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A LAXATIVE MEDICINE. Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor "was ever any before so universally adopted in'o use in every country and among all classes, as this mild but efficient purgative Pill. Jhe obvious reason is, that it is a more reliable and far more effectual remedy than any other. Those who have used it, know that it cured them: those who have not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what it does once it does al ways—that it never fails through any fault or neglect of its composition.
