"IT'S NOT ALL GOLD THAT GLIT

dealt fairly with by TODD & Co., New York,
we advise our readers to suspend forwarding

Kansas and Where We Are.
The Kansas question seems to be coming
to a point. The President has sent in his
message, recommending its admission as a
State under the Lecompton Constitution.—
We have no hesitation in declaring that the
Democratic party of Pennsylvania revolts at
the idea of that recoiumendation coming from
the President, elected by their suffrages. The
Democrats of Pennsylvania are always open
and avowed in their policy, and always in earn
est. They were in earnest in the campaign
of 1856; when they contended for the right
of the people of Kansas to settle freely and
fairly their own institutions in their own way.
They have been in earnest in standing as a
bulwark midway between the extremes_ of
Northern and Southern fanaticism, and in
sisting upon the faithful observance of Cons
stitutional rights and guarantees by all the
States in the Union. They are in earnest now
in believing that Fraud, and Treachery have
been busy, and arc yet active in endeavoring
to force upon the citizens of Kansas a Consti
tution condemned by the voice of a large ma
jority. And they aro fearfully in earnest
with the determination that no such scheme
or fraud shall be consummated with their con
currence. Wo-betide that Pennsylvanian who
looks for a future, and casts his voice or his
vote to sustain the President's recommenda
tion. We speak in earnest, and we know we
speak the undivided sentiments of the De
mocracy of this county. We have heard
them of all ages, and kinds, and classes, re
gretting—yes regretting—with an ill-sup
pressed feeling of shame, that a Pennsylvania
President should ignore the great principle
upon, and by which, the proud old party
fought and won the victory of 1856. Those
whose voices eloquently battled for it on the
stump--these whose weight of years and char
acter wore given to it—those whose youth and
enthusiasm rallied them around the standard
of popular rights, all unite in asking with
emphasis—" Was popular sovereignty worth
dir efforts, the struggle, the battle, and the
victory; and is it thus to be trampled under
foot by those to whose keeping we have com
mitted it." Wo wish the atmosphere of Penn
sylvania could be infused into the District of
Columbia, for but one week. The South must
not mistake us. We have not stood by you
because you had slavery, as wo have been
charged with doing. We have stood by your
Constitutional rights, to keep it or abolish it
as you please. We demand the same rights
for the people of Kansas, and we cannot be
deceived by special pleading about their re
fusal to exercise that right, in the face of the
evidence given us by every Democratic Gov
ernor sent there, that they have been cheated
and defrauded of a fair election.
if you will force the crisis on us let it come.
But when we are to decide between the
frauds of pro-slavery men, and the rights of
wronged freemen, there can be no doubt
about which side of that question the Democ
racy of Pennsylvania will take, and the re
sponse will be a fearful one. We are free
men, and we will see that freemen have their
rights under the laws and Constitution of
the land, and our representatives in Con
gress had better look to it, that they have
not to render an account for assisting in the
betrayal of them.
10. TRIUMPIIE! I—Since writing the above
the President's special Kansas message has
been referred by the House of Representa
tives to a special committee with power to re
port upon the alleged frauds, &c. It is said
CALHOUN already begins to talk honestly.
This vote is significant—right will triumph.
Locals.
Rev. D. SHOAFF preached his farewell ser
mon to a crowded house on Sabbath morn
ing last. We believe we speak the senti
ments of this whole community when we say
that not one of Mr. SHOAFF'S predecessors
had more numerous and more sincere friends
in and out of the Church than he has—and
the regret is universal that he cannot longer
be continued in our midst:
FISHER & MC3IIIRTRIE'S store will be re
moved to.. Saxton's stand in a few weeks.—
The store-room is now being fixed up in a
handsome style.
The Coal business on Broad Top is improv
ing—an extensive business will be done as
soon as spring opens.
During the past week there has been con
siderable improvement in the " times"—our
business men look better, feel better and are
determined to make the "times" better.—
Confidence is being restored, all that is ne
cessary to make " times" good. The good
"times" are coming.
JAMES Tharcßua's new store, in the Gotto's
building, when ready for customers, will be
quite an addition to the business of the up
per end of town.
As an evidence' of the "times" improving,
we are just now hurried with job work of a
business character. We are prepared to print
business cards, handbills, &c., in a very su
perior style. Call and examine for your
selves.
The Tannery establishment of Wm. C.
MCCAULY at Mill Creek, was destroyed by
fire on Sunday night last. When discovered,
the building was enveloped in flames. A
large quantity of stock was consumed.—
Loss, about s3ooo—partly insured. It is not
known how the fire originated.
We are pleased to learn that Mr. J. J.
LAWRENCE, has been promoted to the respon
sible position of Superintendent of the Hun
tingdon and Broad Top Railroad. This is
an excellent appointment, as Mr. L. is con
versant with the affairs and working of the
Road.
We are also pleased to learn that our
young friend Mr. JAS. CAMPBELL, has been
appointed to fill the vacancy occasioned by
the promotion of Mr. LAWRENCE. Mr. C.
has also been appointed agent for Adams &
Co's. Express. He will be found an atten
tive agent.
The News
The Banks of Philadelphia, on Wednes
day, formally resumed specie payments, with -
out any previous announcement of their in
tention. They had been in suspension since
the last week in September, but for some time
the suspension has been merely nominal.
The Philadelphia American says the ag
gregate of gold in the banks throughout the
Union is now, as made up by returns near to
January Ist, and since that time, fully eighty
five millions of dollars, or twenty-seven mil
lions more than at the Ist of January, 1857.
Then the total in all the banks of the United
States, as made up at the Treasury Depart
ment, was $58,350,000; now, exclusive of
States reporting $8,000,000 of specie in Jan
uary, 1857, the footings are $70,500,000 all
from recently published returns.
The Democratic Legislature of New Jersey,
on Thursday last, by a vote of 41 to 17, passed
the following resolutions :
Regolred, That the Lecompton Convention, having re
fused to submit the Constitution framed by it to a vote of
the people fin• approval or rejection, acted in violation of
the known will of the majority : and contrary to the spirit
of the Kansas Nebraska act.
Resod vcd, That the Lecompten Constitution. haring been
rejected by a large majority of the people of Kansas at an
election recently held, at which the question of its adop
tion or rejection was directly submitted to their vote, in
the opinion of thi, Legislature, Kansas ought not to be ad
mitied as a State under that Constitution.
Resoived, That the Governor be, and is herebyrequested
to forward certified copies of these resolutions to each of
our Senators and Representatives in Congress.
The Kansas question in the Pennsylvania
Legislature was, on Thursday last, postponed
until the 10th of March. When the hour ar
rived for offering original resolutions, Mr.
Owen, of Phila., offered the following :
Rosoired, That the committee to which were referred the
various resolutions on Kansas affairs be, and the Balllo are
hereby-, instructed not to report on the same until the 10th
Jay of March next.
This resolution was opposed by Mr. Cal
houn, the chairman of the committee, and
advocated by Mr. Owen and others ; but it
passed upon a call of the yeas and nays.—
The names of those Democrats who were
ready to meet the question and voted against
the resolution, are printed in italics.

This vote shows that there were a number
of men in the House who did not feel like
recording their yea or nay upon the Lecomp
ton question; and it shows further that the
Lecompton Swindle has no open advocates in
the House.
A clerk in the Post Office at Chicago, and
another in the post office at Washington, have
been arrested on charges of stealing valuable
letters.
The Legislature of Rhode Island, by an al
most unanimous vote, passed resolutions in
structing the Senators and requesting the
Representatives in Congress from that State,
to vote against the admission of Kansas into
the Union under the Lecompton Constitution.
The contest in Philadelphia for delegates
to the 4th of March next, resulted in the
choice of those in favor of the nomination of
Wm. A. Porter, for Judge of the Supreme
Court.
The Northern Democrats in Congress op
posed to the Lecompton. Swindle will, in a
day or two, issue an address, to the people of
the United States, setting forth at large, the
reasons which, as fair and honest men, com
pel them to differ with the Administration of
Mr. Buchanan on the Kansas question: It
will be firm in taking position for the " will
the majority." It will appear in the "Globe."
From the annual report of the Superinten
dent of Common Schools for the State of Penn
sylvania, for the year ending June 25, 1857,
it appears that exclusive of the city of Phila
delphia, there are 10,956 public schools in
the State, being an increase of 259 as com
pared with the last previous report. There
are yet wanted 604 schools to satisfy the
quirements of the existing districts. There
are employed 12,475 teachers, being an in
crease of 118 over the last year. Including
the city of Philadelphia the number of teach
ers is 13,445, of whom 7,924 are males and.
5,521 females. 'Whole number of scholars,
exclusive of Philadelphia, 541,247 ; being an
increase of 17,493 over last year, and 66,692
over 1853. Including Philadelphia, the ag
gregate for the whole State is 596,008. In
the city the number of applicants waiting for
admission to the schools is reported at 3,369.
The number of hogs received at Cincin
nati this season is 423,483, against 344,512
for the same time last year. The indications
now are that the business this season will
exceed 450,000. The weather is very favor
able, and it is quite probable hogs will be cut
for three weeks to come. Prices are firm at
$5 50®$5 621 per 100 pounds.
The number of democratic papers in
Illi
nois that sustain Senator Douglas, is 59—op
posed, one—the Joliet Signal.
A now Democratic paper has been estab
lished at Ebensburg; it opposes the Lecomp
ton swindle. Another is to be established at
Hollidaysburg, and another at Bellefonte.
The Pennsylvanian, a year ago, was read
out of the party by the powers that be at
Washington, and by some of the leading pol
iticians in this State, for favoring the sale of
the public works; but now we find it the or
gan in this State, of the same men, of the
same corrupt politicians, with the General
Post Office printing worth only $lOO,OOO.
Well paid, but the people won't be influenced
by such arguments. Every violent Lecomp
ton press in this State receives aid from Un
cle Sam's Treasury.
A tremendous Democratic an ti-Lecom pton
Meeting was held in Philadelphia on Mon
day night last. John W. Forney - presided.
Hundreds of Democrats from adjoining coun
ties were in attendance. We notice amongst
the number many of Mr. Buchanan's earliest
and warmest friends.
Fearful Fight in the House.
From Washington we learn that a fight
came off in the House, on Friday night last.
At an early hour in the day Mr. Harris, of
Illinois, offered a resolution to refer the Pres
ident's Kansas Message and the Lecompton
Constitution, to a select Committee of thir
teen, which is to report upon the alleged
frauds in Kansas; but a vote upon the same
was resisted by the Lecomptonitcs during the
day and night, and at G o'clock next morn
ing, after being in session eighteen hours,
both parties without coining to a vote, agreed
to adjourn until next Monday morning, when
the first business should be the consideration
of Mr. Harris' resolution.
At 2 o'clock in the morning while many of
the members were dozing at their desks, the
House was thrown into a violent excitement
and fearful scene of confusion. It appears
that while Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania, was
walking down the aisle on the Democratic
side of the Hall, Mr. Keitt, of South Caro
lina, approached him and a slight squabble
ensued. The parties were separated by their
friends. They exchanged words in an excit
ing and menacing manner, when Mr. Keitt
again attacked Mr. Grow, and by a heavy
blow was knocked down by the latter.
Crowds of their respective friends rushed
to the rescue. The various members on each
side engaged in the fight in the area fronting
the Clerk's desk.
Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, was conspicu
ous among the Republicans, dealing heavy
blows.
The Speaker loudly called for order, and
called on the_ Sergeant-at-Arms to interfere,
That functionary, carrying his mace of office.
together with his assistants, hurried to the
scene and crowded into the thickest of the
fight, in which at least a dozen of the mem
bers were engaged.
Some minutes elapsed before this truly fear
ful contest was quieted, the members having
reluctantly returned to their seats. •
Great Men in Kansas
We learn by a recent Kansas letter to ono
of the Cincinnati papers, that the board of
commissioners to investigate election frauds,
which held its session at Leavenworth City,
brought to light some singular facts in rela
tion to the poll books of that notoriously bo
gus district, Kiekapoo. For instance, on the
original poll book of the vote on the constitu
tion, Dec 21st, 1857; which book is now on
file in the county recorder's office in Leaven
worth, it was discovered that James Buchan
an, President of the United States, cast the
270th vote for the constitution with slavery.
If we ignore the inconsiderable fact that Mr.
Buchanan, at the time of casting this ballot,
was some thousands of miles to the eastward
of Kickapoo, the performance is not strange,
but perfectly in keeping with his devotion to
the " peculiar institution."
Next on the list of distinguished names ap
pears, as the 276th voter, Wm. EL Seward, of
New York; next, 323 d, Thos. F. Marshall,
of Kentucky ; 714th, Geo. W Brown, editor
Herald of Freedom; then, 859th, John C.
Fremont ; and immediately after, the cele
brated John Hernden !
Then comes in the 876th voter; J. W. Don_
ver, Governor of Kansas, who had only taken .
his place as Governor the day before, and
was• then in Lecompton, fifty miles distant!
And the next phrase presented is a "Thirty
Years' View," Thomas 11. Benton appearing
as the 915th voter. And now it was dark,
the polls being kept open till half-past six,
when,* alas I for frail humanity, for the "com
punctious visitings of conscience," in slips
Ilorace Greeley, and stealthily deposits his
ballot as the 980th voter I It is now six and
a half o'clock, and the curtain rises on the
last act of the drama, and in steps, in all his
majestic proportions, Edwin Forrest, as the
ten hundred and twenty-sixth voter ! This is
Mr. Forrest's first appearance on a Kansas
stage.
It is further stated by the correspondent,
that one of the Kickapoo judges, who was be
fore the commission, refused to answer the
question whether a mjority of the names on
the poll-book were fictitious or not, for fear
of erintinating himself!
Pennsylvania Legislature.
MCiNDAy. Senate.—The bill incorporating
the Numismatic Society of Philadelphia, an
association with the avowed object of collec

By the provisions of the bill, the company
was authorized to hold 2,000 acres of land in
Centre and Clearfield counties, with the priv
ilege of mining and selling coal and other
minerals, and also to construct a railroad to
connect their lands with any public improve
ment. The Executive manifests a determi
nation to suppress any legislation giving un
due powers to corporations, and at the same
time to secure the public against loss from
chartered companies. The question being

the North Branch canal. The bill makes it
the duty of the Canal Commissioners "to
make all necessary arrangements for prose
cuting the works and improvements upon the
said line, in order to the bringing of the same
into early use." Mr. Schell offered to
amend by making it the duty of the Commis
sioners to report at as early a day as possible,
the probable amount of money necessary to
be expended on said canals. Mr. Turney
moved to add a proviso, that the Commission
ers shall not make any contract for repairs
or for any other purpose until a statement
shall be submitted to the Legislature—which
with the addition of " except such as are ab
solutely necessary"—was agreed to. The
amendment of Mr. Schell as amended was
agreed to. And the bill as amended passed
second reading. House.—The supplement

ing :the repeal of the County Superinten
dency. Mr. Owen offered a resolution in

(21.fonday Evening, Feb.
The House of Representatives being reli
giously inclined, has conformed to the old
custom of opening its daily sessions with
prayer. The Senate has discarded this prac
tice, and enters upon its business without
any devotional exercise.
During the past week this city has been
visited by several distinguished personages.
Among the number, the renowned Gen. John
Calhoun of Kansas notoriety, accompanied
by R. G. Miller and John D. Henderson,
were to be seen. These gentlemen, not very
creditable American law-givers, are CA route,
to Washington. Col. John W. Geary, ex-
Governor of Kansas, Was to be seen mingling
with his fellow-citizens. He is a tall, well
made, fine-looking man. He has a good ap
pearance and talks well. To-morrow evening
Col. Jno. W. Forney, by invitation of the
members of the Legislature, will deliver a
lecture on " American Statesmen." This
morning the "Herald," formerly an indepen
dent daily paper, appeared on an enlarged
sheet, greatly improved, and announced a
determination to yield a hearty support to
the administration of Governor Packer.
