THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, &C. THE GLOBE. Huntingdon; Wednesday; April 8, 1857 4 ,)•) :4ij) Bii *'E 'ri) ; HARRISBURG, April 6, 1857. DEAR . GLOBE: Not much of political inter est has transpired at the Capital, since my last date. Indications are that the Legisla tive session will "drag its slow length along" into the month of May, inasmuch as protract ed. disCussions.and turbulent times are antici pated when the Apportionment Comes up for consideration. it the current belief here, that another "Candidate for the office of Governor will i3hortly be brought out to make "honors easy" With -the Wilmot men. Several names are .spoken of in this connexion; among these - Senator Straub, who represents the Liquor party. A general stampede of intense Amer- Icans in theeastern part of the State, is cer tain to ensue. The "elemental war" is now brewing, and you will hear thunder before long—depend upon it: This is not a mere random conjecture; but a prognostic based upon knowledge of facts. N 'importe! The first of April, being the time-honored fool's festival, was celebrated at the seat of government in becoming style. M. Hiester having imposed upon the Senate with a bogus message from the House, was in turn arrested by the Sergeant-at-arms with a blank warrant, and taken, pate and agitated, before the bar of the Senate, when .Speaker Taggart rose.and administered a se vere.reprimand—then congratulated the cul •prit upon being made a fool. In the House of Representatives, the member from Greene pulled the wick out of the candle which is kept for sealing letters, and substituted a whittled Stick ; the member from Indiana shortly after having occasion to use it, burnt up a box of matches in futile attempts to re light it, before he found out who they were hil laughing at. During the evening session of that event ful day, the following joint resolution was passed by a two-thirdS vote: Resolved, That in consideration of his un precedented ingenuity in avoiding the pain ful necessity of telling truth at any time, the Venerable Sinner of the Huntingdon Journal :be presented with a leathern medal; and in acknowledgment of similar distinguished talent, the Junior of that sheet have his asinine statue - done in mud. : There was also a bill introduced in the Lower House for an Amendment to an act en titlidan act supplementary to an act entitled ari, act for the encouragement of " CAT" liter ature, and the relief of witty curs : the sav ing clause of which provides that hereafter the Dog-Ultub Gazette be known to its three hundred subscribers by the title of the Pisca toral Popgun. On this occasion, we are proud to state that the representative from Ground Hog Valley made a telling speech, Which is justly regarded as one of the most prodigious efforts of the session. A dozen copies have been ordered to be printed for those of his constituents who can read. The eloquent member is now using his influence to procure a modification of the libel law, adapting it to the pecuniary wants of min nows, dog-chubs and land-sharks. With respect to any objectionable passages in this letter, I have only to add that I am resigned—let the law have its course. Libellously Yours, MAX. GREENE. N. 8.---The Governor has pardoned Rev. W. S. 11. Keys. IllicnAsxcsr.una, April 4, 1857. DEAR GLOBE :-I have often wondered why editors complain so much. They are forever making excuses for the quantity or quality ,of their editorials. A fly on the nose, or a flea in 'the boot, is a sufficient cause to them for an article on their perplexing and Hercu lean labors. I think this a mistake. Can it be otherwise than pleasant to think that the thoughts which you are arranging, the ideas you are originating, will pass through the minds , of thousands, and ~may be read and pondered on by future generations ? But it is tabt My intention to disobey "Old Jerry's''. injunction and speak disrespectfully of edi tors, or any body else. Still I cannot refrain from doubting whether the editorial chair is, as some represent it, worse than a seat on a bunch of nettles, or the task of preparing a " leader" with the head-ache, as difficult as climbing a greasy pole. But perhaps I had better leave this subject, and write of some thing else, as this class of persons are ever on the alert ; I may get- a " rap over the knuckles!' I spent the first part of this week in Har risburg. Sometimes, for want of something better to do, I played lobby member of the Legislature, listening to the deliberations of the " assembled wisdom" of the State. On Tuesday afternoon a member of the House moved an amendment be made to a section of the Appropriation bill, then pending, asking for a few thousand dollars to pay for lager beer, used by the members. From the way they sung out the noes to this, one who didn't know them, would have thought they were a set of tetotalers. By the manner they ap portion out the thousands and tens of thous ands, uncle Sam's son, Keystone, must have a pocket full of " rocks." It is hfixd to tell when they will adjourn, but likely in two or three weeks. From the date of my letter you will see - that I have again been " bobbing round." I " packed up - traps". and left Har risburg an - Thursda,S- morning, and hero I am, seated by the open window in No. 7 of Cum- Vet-land Valley Institute. This is a beautiful April morning. Not a cloud is to be seen : and little birds, the first messengers of Spring, are warbling forth their matin songs, rejoic ing in the - warm sunshine. If I turn my head from where I am seated writing, I have a scenery to look out upon which artists might envy. Near in view is the neat little town of Mechanicsburg, with its church spires glittering like diamonds in the sun beams, and far over the broad valley of Cum berland, the hazy peaks of South Mountain are visible. Perhaps it'ibihe charming sit uation I am just now in, that made me "pitch into" complaining editors in the beginning of this letter. But they are not always in such a pleasant position when writing, and I would advise any of them who have the hor rors to take a stroll into the country and get upon some eminence (if it should be a stump, ) on such a sunny Spring:morning as this, and take a view of the surrounding country—lis ten to the music of the feathered songsters— look at the budding leaves and opening flow ers, and for awhile " cogitate" as Doesticks says, on the Lenuties of nature. If this will not effect a cure they are past recovery. You may think such contributions as mine hardly worthy a space in your paper. But, sir, you have the consolation of the renowned poet, that A little nonsense, 11(n - and then, Is relished by the best of men." No doubt you -will expect me . to write more interesting letters, since I have become a member of a literary institution. If so, you will be mistaken, as it will require consider able rubbing again, and mixing among the members of the literati, before I shall be able to make much improvement. And aI am a boy again (though, in truth, I was never anything else) I have to gather up my school books and commence my studies again. Yours, respectfully, B****. Abolitionism Severely Rebuked. The following extract from the proceedings of the Baltimore Conference will be read with iLt .mse interest throughout the land. Thanks to the giant mind of John A. Collins for not suffering these important resolutions to be tabled. Ile deserves and will receive the thanks of the Church everywhere for causing a prompt vote to be taken on the question, requiring every man to speak his sentiments : MIL•THODIST EFISCOPSI. CONFERENCE.—The Baltimore Conference of the M. E. Church held in Baltimore city, adjourned after a ses sion cf twelve days. In the report of the proceedings of the last day we find the following:— Rev . . Isaac Gibson and N. Wilson submit ted the following resolutions: Re;olved, By the Baltimore Conference, in Conference a.-embled, that we highly depre ciate the agitation of the slavery question, which has already resulted to the great de teriment of the political and religious inter ests of the country. Re.yolced, That as heretofore we will op pose with zeal, any aggression which shall be attempted by the abolition agitators of the con n try. Rev. Jas. IL Brown moved to lay them upon the table. Adopted. Rev. John A. Collins deprecated such ac tion, as it placed the Conference in an indeed equivocal position. He would therefore ask that they again be taken up, with a view to a direct vote thereupon. Agreed to by the following vote—yeas 210, nays 4. They were then put upon their passage, and the first resolution adopted by yeas 820, nays 3. The second one was taken up and also adopted by a vote of yeas 197, nays 14. .69.=THE JEWISH PASSOVER, or Feast of Unleavened Bread commences to-morrow, which is the 15th day of the Jewish month Nisan of their year 5617, and lasts seven days. It is held in commemoration of the escape of the Israelites when the first born of the Egyptians perished, and their exodus from Egypt. During this month they only eat "mazot" or unleavened bread. The "mazot" is manufactured in Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York, and sent thence to all parts of the country where needed. It is made of fine wheat flour and pure water, kneaded by a wooden lever, afterwards roll ed out between wooden rollers, and then cut into small pieces by machinery. It looks and tastes very much like some kinds of water crackers. EMI At the "Exchange Hotel," in this borough, on the 2nd inst., by the Rev. D.
