DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.
FOR GOVERNOR,
tam's. Wlll. F. PACKER, of Lye oming.
FOR SURREALE JUDGE,
Hon. ELLIS LEWIS, of Philadelphia.
FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER,
NIMROD STRICKLAND, of Chester.
gar The Know-Nothing and Black-Repub
lican State Convention which met in Harris
burg last week, nominated David Wilmot for
Governor, William 1 1 ,1illward for Canal Com
missioner, and James Veech and Joseph J.
Lewis for Supreme Judges. Many Ameri
cans in this vicinity express hostility to the
nominee for Governor. This ticket was not in
tended to frighten the Democracy, certainly!
But look out for "war in Kansas!"
Htca Scnoor..—We learn that Mr. S.
CAMPBELL will open a school near Shade
Gap, the latter part of the present month,
for the instruction of young men. Mr. C.
has had many years experience as a teacher
in Common Schools and Academies, and
those desirous of having their children under
"a competent teacher cannot do better than
by placing them in his care. Young men
wishing to qualify themselves for teaching
will also find Mr. C's. school a proper place
to receive the necessary instruction.
Kansas and Her Troubles.
It seems that we are to have a new series
of troubles in Kansas, and that the adminis
tration of Mr. Buchanan is to be called upon
to act promptly in the matter of supplying
the place made vacant by the resignation of
Governor Geary, by a new appointment.—
The opponents of the democratic party in the
north; ever ready to take small adruntag,es,
seem to think that a new light has broken in
upon their darkened fortunes, in regard to
the present condition of things in Kansas,
and that some little capital
out
be made for
buncombe, by launching out in the most vi
tuperative style against, what they r.tr, pleas
ed to denominate, the inefficiency of the new
administrationthe pro slavery tendencies of
)Ir. Buchanan,. &c., Sze. But we would cau
tion these worthies, not to "hallos till they
tire out of the woods." Keep cool, gentle=
Men, and in a few days you. will see, that so
far as the administration is concerned, aye,
so far as the democratic party is concerned,
Kansas will be promptly attended to.
We do not believe that the people of Kan
sas are such egregious outlaws that they can
not be kept in check by a wise, conciliatory
and prudent course on part of the man who
may be selected to take Gov. Geary's place.
But should such a course prove a failure, then,
let those persons in Kansas, if there are any
such there, who disregarding the obligations
they owe to society, will persist in commit
ting outrages against law and order, be dealt
with as such persons always should be dealt
with. Let the strong arm of the law be brought
to bear against them, and let its mandates be
enforced with all the rigor necessary to com
mand obedience; and if that fails, let them
be put under military surveillance; and if
civil law fails let martial law enforce the
most implicit obedience. We feel satisfied
that the man who may be appointed to suc
ceed. Gov. Geary, will be one in whom the
whole country will have confidence; that he
will possess both the will, courage and abili
ty to discharge the duties of the position.--
We would advise the alarmists of the opposi
tion to seek some other source from whence
to obtain material for political agitation, to
keep. up a rotten and sinking cause, than
these exaggerated Kansas troubles.— Key

Declination of Chief Justice Lewis.
It will be seen by the following letter of
Judge Lewis, that he declines the re-nomina
tion recently given to him by the Democrat
ic State Convention. The determination of
Judge Lewis will be a matter of regret to
every sound lawyer, and the people general
ly, of Pennsylvania:
WEST PENN SQUARE, I .
. PHILADEr,rnre, March 25th, 1857_
To CHARLES R. Buck - ALE - a - , Chairman of the
Democratic State Committee:
Dear Sir—At the late 11€2nocratic State
Convention, the local claims of the different
sections• of the State were generously waived
for the purpose of securing my continuance
in the high and important office of Supreme
Judge. The energy with which those claims
are now urged for the office recently vacated
on the Supreme Bench, shows the extent of
the sacrifices then made, and the nature of
the dissatisfaction which may exist after one
section shall be gratified and the other disap
pointed by the anticipated nomination. • The
Convention, when re-assembled, might be
able to harmonize these claims, if that body
had two nominations to make, instead of one.
I therefore feel at liberty to decline, as I now
do, the re-nomination tendered to me by the
Dzmocratie State Convention. In thus pro
moting harmony, I consult my own earnest
desire to retire from judicial life, and at the
same time put the delegates to no inconveni
ence, as they will he obliged to come together
again for the purpose of nominating a candi
date to fill the existing vacancy.
I have been laboriously engaged in judi
cial duties nearly twenty-roar years—a longer
period of service than that of any living
Judge in Pennsylvania. I have been thus
engaged under three changes of the Consti
tution. I hare aided to the extent of my
abilities in bringing up the arrearag,es of
business, in re-placing upon their ancient
foundations sonic of the landmarks of the
law which had. - been inadvertently removed,.
and in maintaining the purity and the inde
pendence of the Judiciary, I have constantly
endeavored to do justice without delay; fear,
favor, affection or I now. occupy, 7
by the voice of the people of my native State;'
the highest judicial station in it. My long
career as a Judge has received the approba
tion of the Democratic party in the re-nomi
nation so generously and unanimously made
by the State Convention. All my ambition
is satisfied. I have but one wish left, and
that is to return to the freedom and indepen
dence of private life. Ido this with a grate
ful heart for the long continued confidence
of my fellow-citizens, and in the full trust
that they will appreciate and approve of my
motives. Very respectfully, yours,
ELLIS LEWIS.
From the Lewistown True Democrat
Supreme Judge.
The appointment of the lion. JEREMIAH S.
BLACK to a place in the Cabinet, has occa
sioned a vacancy in the Supreme Court of
this State, and we presume the State Conven
tion will shortly be called to re-assemble, for
the purpose of making a nomination for that
office. it is therefore right and proper that
the Democratic journals should express their
preferences, and• canvass the merits of the
several names' from time to time brought
forward.
The office of Judge of the Supreme Court
is one of great importance and responsibility.
The candidate therefore : should. he a lawyer
of spotless character, large experience, supe
rior learning, and profound judgment. Such
a candidate would be an honor to the party,
and, if elected, an ornament to the Supreme
Bench. Little Mifflin offers a gentleman who
possesses all these qualities in an eminent
degree. The reader will readily understand
that we refer to Hon. ABRAHAM' S. WILSON,
Psesident Judge of this Judicial District,
and a resident of this place. Judge Wilson
has been on the Common Pleas Bench for fif-'
teen years, without interruption.. Which is
probably as long as the same pc,st has been
held by any Judge in file State. He . was
first appointed in 1842, (the same year
Judge Black was appointed,) by Gov. Porter,
and the appointment was unanimovoly con
firmed by the Senate. Suln equen tly, w h en
the choice of Judges ';vas left to the People,
Judge Wilnn became the Democratic candi
datC, and was triumphantly elected in a dis
trict which usually gave from SOO to 1100
majority for the opposition. His opponent
too, on that occasion, Hon. Joseph Casey,
was a gentlemen of acknowledged ability
and popularity. Judge Wilson's fitness for
the Supreme Bench is therefore beyond ques
tion. His Democracy, toe, is unsullied, he
being a firm, unwavering, and influential
Democrat at all times.
We entirely deny that the locality of can
didates should have anything to do with
their claims for nomination, but, if locality
is to be made a question, the interior certain
ly has superior claims. At present the
'West is represented by Judge Lowrie. and
Knox, the worth by Judge Woodward, and
the East by Judge Lewis. Common justice,
therefore, would concede'the next candidate
to the interior.
We therefore _ hoist the name of Judge
WILSON to our masthead, confident that,
whether in point of legal ability, personal
popularity, or locality, a fitter nominee can
not be foundin the State.
Kansas.
The opposition presses seem extremely anx
ious to revive the old excitements concerning
Kansas, from which they derived so much
aid and comfort during the last presidential
campaign. For this purpose, they have sei
zed upon the retirement of Governor Geary
from that Territory, in order to represent it
as a compulsory retirement while they pro
fess to sympathize deeply. with this gentle
man under the disastrous circumstances
which, they assure the country, have led to
his resignation. Under their inflnence, the
impression has prevailed to a considerable ex
tent, that Governor Geary's farewell address
was a mere statement by him of personal
grievances and of public disorders, which all
combined to expel him from his late field of
official duty. Yet there is' nothing in this
valedictory address to justify any such im
pression, or to call for any such sympathy.
On the contrary, while he asserts that his gu
bernatorial office was unsought by him and
accepted at great personal sacrifice, Gover
nor Geary conveys fully the idea th:at his re
tirement from it has been purely voluntary,
and the result of considerations affecting his
health and comfort ; and so far is he from
countenancing any representation of existing
* disturbances in the Territory, that he pre
seni3 a glowing picture of its prosperity, and
descriho the great majority of its people as
"conservative, law-abiding, and peace-loving
men." The tronLies which formerly agita
ted the Territory were oecazioned, he insists,
by comparatively few persons, arid these, for
the most part, persons who had no especial
interest in its welfare, and were governed by
mercenary motives rather than any consider-.
ations of philanthrophy or any peculiar views
concering the institution of slavery. Ile
gays
"You are well aware that most of the
troubles which lately agitated the Territory
were occasioned by men who had no especial
interest in its welfare. *Many of them were
not even residents, whilst it is quite evident
that others were influenced altogether in the
part they took in the disturbances by mer
cenary or other personal considerations.—
The great body of the actual citizens are con
servative, law-abiding, peace-loving men, dis
posed rather to make sacrifices for concilia
tion and consequent peace than to insist for
their entire rights, should the general good
From the Pittsburgh Union
therely be caused to suffer. Some of them,
under the influence of the prevailing excite
ment and misguided opinions, were led to the
commission of grievous mistakes, but not
with the deliberate intention a doing
wrong.".
The present Condition of the Territory he
describes as follows :
When I look upon the present condition of
the - Territory, and contrast it with what it
was when I first entered it, I feel satisfied
that my administration has not been preju
dicial to its interests. On every hand I now
perceive unmistakable indications of welfare
and prosperity. The honest settler occupies
his quiet dwelling, with his wife - and child
ren clustering around him, unmolested and
fearless of danger. The solitary traveller
pursues his way unharmed over every public
thoroughfare. The torch of the incendiary
has been extinguished, and the cabins which
by it were destroyed have been replaced with
more substantial buildings. Hordes of ban
ditti no longer lie in Wait in every ravine for
plunder and assassination. Invasions of hos
tile armies have ceased, and infuriated parti
sans living in our midst have emphatically
turned their swords into ploughshares and
their spears into pruning-hooks. Laborers
are everywhere at work—farms undergoing
rapid improvements 7 -merchants are driving
a thriving trade—mechanics pursuing with
profit their various occupations. Real estate,
ih town and country, has increased in value
almost without precedent, until in some pla-
Ces it is commandine , prices that never could
have been anticipated."
Opposition Principles 'and Purposes.
Since the failure of the effort to array one
portion of the Union against another, and to
elect a President without reference to his po
litical antecedents, the opposition leaders
have been somewhat reserved in the publica
tion of their principles and, purposes. They
are opposed to the democracy, and their ef
forts to promote the welfare of our citizens;
but the -grounds of their opposition,.a. - uCi . the
- measures they would reconade n d, 'axe not
-openly and clearly de;ieloped. .They assume
'that deli:merit:fez piinciples are wrong and
Will lead to fatal results, but how, they do
not inform. us ; and that their political theo
ries will cure all the evils which they assume
to exist; but they 'utterly fail in Showing
how these things are to - te accomplished:
If we may I.e.
permittedto suggest the reit
.
son l s te3a,use they do not know them
selves how to produce the results they prom
ise. But their real - principles and, purposes
cannot be wholly concealed. Their princi
ples are subversive, of the theory of self-gov
ernment, and their purposes, to rule or ruin
—to control the Union, or to • destroy it.—
They d,eny.that the•people in the Territories
are capable of self-government and insist
that they should be restrained, or their pow
ers to act should be. limited to those 'who
agree with them in opinion and views.—
They insist that the hardy pioneer should
not act upon his own judgment, or regard
interests which he deems dear and import
ant to him, but should be. - restrained and.
guided by those who are more familiar with
the artificial wants of a city than the real
and natural ones -of the frontier. They in
sist that no future State shall become a mem
ber of our glorious Union unless it shall, have
moulded its views and objects to further
their schemes of power. They insist' that
no Stat 3 shall be admitted - which does not
raise the • sectional bauner,and offer to fight
against, the equality of the States. If they
cannot
,thus - -secure political power, then
their, :purposes are to destroy the Union,
hoping, in that event, to control one portion
of it at least, as European potentates do
concpier countries. They expect to enlist
and control the,passions of the people at the
North, and direct them against those of the
South, and also to lead them on to the fatal
step of attempting to defy the authority of
the Union, -and to establish 'a new govern
ment, which the, -leaders may control and
Lend to
,their uses. This is apparent from
known facts. Those who control-the opposi
tion movements are continually making as
saults upon the constitution and laws. They
assume that everything is wrong, and leads
to fatal consequences. They complain of the
basis upon which the election of President
rests. They insist that the Senate is unjust
ly constituted, and that the House is an un
just representation. They claim that the
election of President rests upon a theory
that leads to injustice, and that the judiciary
is not properly constituted, but its very or
ganization leads to wrong: Not one feature
of .the constitution is satisfactory to them.—
While their. leaders are publicly assuming
such grounds, their subordinate co-operators
are preparing and circulating more frank
and open views in the same direction. One
discusses the value of the Union; another as
sumes that new elements must be introduced
into it before it can conform to justice ; while
others boldly assume that actual "dissolution
is the only remedy" for the pretended evils.
In New York and Boston, if not elsewhere,
there are offices for the publication of "tracts"
on this, subject. - Some of these are anony
mous, and others" contain the names of the
authors, including those who pre-fix "Rev."
t 0... their names. These " tracts" are gratui
tously circulated broadcast over the land
wherever it, is supposed
.that the principles
they -enforce and maintain can obtain a
lodgement, or secure active supporters.—
These black-republican missives form a por
tion of the irresponsible circulation which
the "shady" party constantly distribute.—
] The whole operations of the opponents of the
present administration tend to one point, in
dicating beyond controversy their purposes
—to wit, to control or dissolve the Union.—
They seek-power ; and if they cannot acquire
it under the constitution, their purposes are
to destroy, the Union, and erect - upon its
ruins , at "the North another government,
which they hope to control and shape to
their purposes of personal and political ag
grandizement, leaving the residue of it to
form ssep,aiate organizations. They seek to
separate, under, , different governments, the
graves of 'our revolutionary heroes and
statesmen. They wish to erect a wall, worse
than, one of fire, between hallowed ground
-where rest. the ashes of Washington, Jeffer
son, and ikfaAison, of Monroe, Sumpter,-Rut
lodge,. and Patrick Henry, and. that - where
repose the mortal reomins of John and Sam
uel Adams, of Warren, Hancock, Greene,
and Putnam, of Schuyler, Hamilton, and
Franklin, and the patriots of a majority of
the original thirteen States. Like selfish
heirs, they seek to control the whole patri
mony of a glorious ancestry, or to subject it
to confiscation or destruction. They wish to
see the descendants of these and other heroes
and patriots grasp each other by the throats
and engage in a death-struggle for political
ascendency. Did the heroes of the revolu
tion pledgo their fortunes, their lives, and
their sacred honors, for any such fatal pur
pose? Did the sages of 1787, who framed
our constitution, and the patriot constituency
whose will consecrated -it as the bond of
union, look to any such result ? Did the
fathers of the republic, whose devotion to
the common good was manifested in 'giving
life, energy, and a wise direction under
_our
great charter, design or expect it to fall a
prey to sectional strife or cupidity ? We
know that it is not so. For more than half
a century, at least on our national anniver
sary, the voice of the patriot has 'assured us
to the contrary.
Until the malign influence of sectionalism
assumed an imposing and defiant form, not a
candidate for. public favor ever failed to
pledge himself to the Union, and the whole
Union. No one could command the suffra
ges of the people who was not heart and soul
for it, now and in all time to come. Beneath
the dark cloud of sectionalism other views
gained a hot-bed existence. The frost of dis
appointment has given them a death-chill.—
The principles and purposes of the enemies
of the democracy are becoming known, and
will soon ring their-death-knell, by the com
mon consent of all who love the Union and
the object for • which it is founded.—Wash
ington Union.
ARRIVAL OF MCKT.3I, TIIE ALLEGED MUR
DERER.—David S. McKim, the alleged mur
derer of young Norcross, was brought to this
place by Sheriff Port on Wednesday 18th,
and lodged in jail to await his trial for the
horrible crime with which lie stands charged.
The curiosity to -see the prisoner was in
tense, and his arrival, both at this place and
Altoona, was greeted by a• large crowd, all
anxious to get a glimpse of him. At Altoo
na, the prisoner, previous to being placed in
the Branch car, was conveyed, to the porch
in Vent of the Loan where all could
have an 61r;,or s tunity of 'seeing. him.
On ;arriving at the Depot at this place, he
was placed in a hack and conveyed to prison.
reaching the Diamond,. the Sheriff direct
ed the hack to be stopped, and the crowd
were invited to ,take a look at the prisoner.—
This action of the Sheriff seemed to satisfy
the throng, a majority of whom quietly dis
persed.
The prisoner is it tall, stout man, evident
ly possessing great stragth; of rather pre
possessin,,, appearance, lively disposition, so-
Qui, intelligent and communicative.-
We refrain from any allusion to - the innu
merable admissions reported to have been
made by the prisoner, nine-tenths of which
are without any foundation in fact. He ad
mits to having been the travelling companion
of Norcross, but alleges that he got off the
cars at Gallitzin, on the morning the mur
der was committed—an assertion which, if
true, can easily be proven.
Dist.- Att'y. Hammond is Making every ef
fort in his dower, and it_is probable that the
prisoner will be tried at the April - term of
_Court. We understand that he will be as
sisted in the prosecution of the case by W.
A. Stokes,
'Esq., whose services have been
tendered by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany.
- The prisoner has employed Col. D. H.
Hofius as his counsel.—lfol. Standard.

The Opposition Candidates.
By the proceedings of the -Abolition Con
vention, it. will be seen that a 'comPlete.ticket,
representing the Black Bepublican sentiment
of Pennsylvania, has been' placed before the
people. This ticket is composed of the fol
lowing gentlenien:
DAVID WILMOT, for Governor.
WILLIAM Mii.LwAnn, for - Canal Commis
sioner. •
J, rrs 'VEECIT and
jossru J. LEWIS, for Supreme Judges.
These gentlemen are not'Unknown to the
public. They have made. their mark as the
leaders of a faction whiCh counsels treason
and plots the overthrow 'of our nation, and
during the coming campaign we shall unmask
them and show their duplicity to the world.
A few words must suffice us now.
DAVID WILMOT commenced his political ca
reer as a Democrat, and was, by that party,
elected to Congress. Here he first became
notorious for his advocacy of .a measure, of
which he was not the author or originator,
now kiaown as the' 'Wilmot proviso. After
his term of office expired, he returned home,
and still claiming to be aDemocrat, he preach
ed his Abolition doctrineS in and out of sea
son, and became a thorn in the side of the
national Democracy , of the Keystone State.
He had sense enough to see that his political
doom, with the Democratic party, was sealed,
and proposed to the party that if they would
create a, new judicial district to embrace his
native county of Bradford, Arid have him
elected Judge, he would leave the political
arena and trouble it no more. He was taken
at his word, but, true to his natural instincts,
as soon as he was installed in his judicial of
fice, he began not only to propagate the most
bitter Abolition sentiments, but to denounce
the party which had fed him and raised him
from obscurity. He traveled from school
house to school house, and from church to
church, denouncing the South and its insti
tutions, until he has Made his judicial dis
trict a by-word and a 'reproach. He has re
peatedly prostituted his office to political pur
poses,';and is, in 'short, a dangerous and bit
ter fanatic • of the very worst kind.,
WILLIAM MILLIVARD is a Philadelphian,
and professes to bean American. He served,
during the last Congress, in the House of
Representatives, and was and still the bo
som friend of ANSON BURLINGAME, the noto
rious Massachusetts Abolitionist. _During
the duelling excitement between BROOKS and
BURLINGAME, he was the fast friend of the
latter, and one of his friends in the, Conven
tion stated that he now had in his possession,
a rifle presented to him .by BURLINGAME, for
his services on that occasion. Mr. MILLWARD
is a rank Abolitionist, and is a fit associate
on the ticket for DAVID WIL3IOT. And yet
this man was nominated to, ,conciliate the
Americans!
JAMES V.EECII, one of the candidates for
Supreme Judge, resides in Fayette county.—
We do not know that he has ever been in
public life, and we never heard of him pub
licly but once. In 1855, the Legislature of
Pennsylvania, failing to elect a United States
Senator, postponed the discharge of that duty
until a day in October, after their final ad
journment. That act of the Legislature
caused some discussion of their constitution
al right to re-assemble at the time, dosigna
ted, and it was almost universally held, by
the legal fraternity,. that they could not meet.
So certain was this opinion, that no effort was
made to re-assemble, and the day fixed passed
without a single member making his appear
ance at the capitol. Mr. ITzEca at that time
wrote and published a lengthy opinion, argu
ing that the Legislature had a right to re-as
semble to elect a Senator! Such is the Con
stitutional lawyer whom the Republican-par-
ty has - selectd . to occupy a seat upon the Su
preme Bench.
Of JOSEPH J. LEWIS, of Chester, we know
nothing. He may be a great lawyer and a
great man, but if he is, he has kept his "light
under a bushel," for we never saw even a
glimmer of it. We will have more to say of
him, when we know more.
The whole ticket is utterly Abolition in its
sentiments. It represents the faction in the
Keystone State which the people know and
despise, and it can have no hope of success.
Lo! the Poor Indian
One of the characteristics, says the Penn
sylvanian, of the Government of the United
States is and always has been, the mild and
paternal treatment of the Aborigines. All
that the Indian has to do is to behave him
self, and he is protected by our la*s, taken
care of, and in all respects carefully looked
after. In no age of the world and in no
country, has a people so little advanced in
civilization, been treated with such uniform
humanity and consideration by a superior
and dominant race.
Yet the people and the government of this
country have by no means escaped censure
for alleged maltreatment and injustice to the
Indians, and there are men at the present
moment who regard the course of the T .3nited,
States towards this people as 'utterly unjust
and unchristian like. This description of
opinion is quite prevalent in Europe, and es
pecially in Gleat Britain. Nothing could be
further from the truth. The Indians of the
United States have been treated with a degree
of kindness without a parallel in the history
of the world under auy approximation to
similarity , of circumstances, and the numer
ous wars into which they have forced our gov
ernment, have been invariably followed by
the greatest leniency and forbearance. All
that the Indian has to do is to behave Em
self, and to try to comfort himscff
- with rea
sonable decency,
conFAderalics,n whereof he
shall be taken Care of effectually and certain
ly, and it will be perilous for anybody to mo
lest him,
We are led to these observations by the fol
lowing paragraph, whiCh we clip from the
Washington Star:
THE RICHEST CO:II3IUNITY IN THE WORLD.-
A day or two since we had occasion to men
tion that the result of the late sale of the Del
aware (Indian) trust lands was $470,000.
The lands sold were only those comprised in
the Eastern division of this great reservation.
The Western division is now advertised to be
sold. That contains some 350,000 acres, and
will undoubtedly bring an aggregate of at
least $600,000. The tribe are also the own
ers of a home reservation almost immediate
ly adjoining Leavenworth City, forty miles
long by ten broad. That would sell to-mor
row readily for $lO per acre; or an aggregate
of: $3,000,000_ Thus their total' wealth, in
dependent of personal property—and some
of them are men
. of considerable individual
means—is about $4,070,000. They number
in all some nine hundred souls; and, from the
real estate described above, are worth an aver
age of $4,440 per soul, or 22,220 to each fam
ily of five persons among them.
SHARP PRACTICE.—The Advertiser of Tiffin,
Chio, 'relates an instance of female sharp
practice. A lady in weeds came t ) the resi
dence of a gentleman in that vicinity, profes
sing to be the widow of his son who had re
cently died in the far West. She etas re
ceived and treated as a daughter, made a
month's visit, and on her departure borrow
ed a hundred' dollars of the old gentleman to
pay her expenses to New York, pretending
that her purse had been stolen in the ears.—
It came out afterwards that the woman was
a servant girl in the son's family, and had
there . fished up fhces enough to act the as
sumed character beyond suspicion. •
Dasit is reported, upon the authority of a
European cotemporary, that the Emperor of
Japan has resolved that two ports of the em
pire, those of Nangasaki and Hakodadi, shall
be open to the vessels of all nations. There
they might repair, take in provisions, estab
lish depots of coal, &c. The other ports of
the empire, moreover, are to be accessible to
vessels in distress, which may take refuge in
them, but which will have to put to sea the
moment the danger is over. No foreigner is
to be allowed to penetrate into the interior of
the country without a special permission from
the chief of the State.
Ear. In the middle ages, in France, a per
son convicted of being a slanderer was con
demned to place himself on all fours, and
bark like a dog for a quarter of an hour. If
this custom were adopted at the present day,
there would be such a yell of 'bow-wowing
set up, as would astonish those who mind
their own business. We know some folks
who would be on all fours all the time.
But little can be done in this world
without money. Newspapers cannot be print
ed without it, notwithstanding most persons
seem to think that printers ought to live and
work without smelling a copper from the be
ginning of the year to the end of another.
