A visit to Siuppknsburo. —The Üborlous and busy life of an editor is not without .its pleasures and real enjoyments^—though they may be,, and truly arc, seldom. Stealing a couple days from Old Time, we paid a visit last week to our neighboring Borough, Shippenaburg,and our sojourn there was attended with so many pleasing incidents, and so many kind attentions were shown us by the good people of the town with whom we had the pleasure of cultivating an acouaintance, and more particularly by our friends of longfcrjstanding, that we cannot refrain from re. turning our acknowledgements, and assuring them of our gracious .regard for their welfare, individual* )y arid collectively —now and hereafter. Shippens. burg is rather a pretty town, and was filled with peo. pie from Che country, which gave it a lively appear, anco during our stay. The people are kind and hos. pilablc, and the ladies (God bless them,) arc decided, ly pretty. At every window, door, and corner could be seen bright eyesi melting looks, curls of jet, snow white* foreheads and. flying, forms. It was evident to us.thai the fair ladice of Slnppenaburg had deter, mined to take, by storm and smash to pieces tho hearts of all young men who bad ventured into tho 'town. •On Friday wo visited (ho field of.the Military Encampment. Tho Encampment was small, but resectable in appearance. Col. John Hood, being the senior officer, had command. The gallant Colonel was full of glory'and hospitolUy-r-which latter ac complishment we took advantage of by accepting an invitation' to .take & very excellent “lunch" ot his bead-quarters. The Colonel dischorged his duties in a highly creditable monner, and won golden opin* ions from all the different companies, there. Besides being „an experienced officer, he is a gentleman of winning manners' and of obliging disposition.— Such a'man is always popular with military compa nies, and with all who .know him. Indeed, every officer at the Encampment .appeared to understand his business, and the wholo thing passed off in a higbly.creditablo manner. Tho Encampment broke up morning, when all returned to their homes, highly gratified with their trip. Wo had in lendtdrV) speak of the different attend* ,ance at the Encampment, but not haying their names, we to omit the notice wo> had intended taking of them. Suffice itlo say, they all looked remarkably well, and the soldier-like manner in which.they performed their several duties, was ad mired by all spectators. NcwviLtc Band.— The “ Ncwville Brass Band'! from NewviUs Borough, attended tho encampment ll'Bhippensburg. Tho Band is composed of young fellows—about twelve in number, .and the way. they mode their instrumentstalk" was calculated to astonish (ho natives. We were not only pleased with their most excellent music, but were equally gratified with tho gentlemanly deport ment of the members of the Band.' Success to.the Newyille, Band, say wo« National Cadets, —A new Volunteer company tearing tho above name, has teen formed at Ship pensburg, of which that prince of clever fellows, W. F. Caret, is Captain. The company participated in the lato oncampmont at (hat place, and presented & fine appearance. The uniform of (ho Cadets ia decidedly neat, and was universally admired; The company, of course, ia not aa yet very proficient in drill, but it is composed of the right material, and will rapidly improve. We venture to say that there] is not a Borough in Pennsylvania of the size of Ship-1 pensburg, that can boast of so lino & volunteer corps. • . Santa Anna’s Window Curtains.—Wo have in 1 our possession a piece of window curtain, which was taken, from the window of Santa Anna’s private re* sidehce, by our young townsman, Samuel Cor Irvin, d member of the »* Cameron Guards,” who forwarded it to Us in a loiter. Any of our friends desiring to seo this piece of curtain .will call at our office, and we will be pleased to gratify thorn. Carlisle Deidsitk Bank.— An effort is now mak ing to have the stock of this Bank subscribed for, which is supposed will succeed. Wo learn (hat all the ahareij except about two hundred, have teen ta ken. .We should like to sco this institution go into operation, for certainly the people of this county la bor ander many disadvantages for the want of a Bank of soma kind. This Deposits Bank, if proper ly conducted, will prtfve a profitable investment to stockholders. AmiestkPi —TliB negro Boon, aliat Buck, was at. rested at Columbia, Lancaster county, by Deputy .BhexifF M’CarUiey aud Constable Stuart, a few days/ since, and is now in jail.

Tlicyconnl majority in this county for Shc.vk and Lo.vosrnarii of from three to five Inin, j dred, arid laugh to, scorn any one who talks of Irvin carrying old Cumberland.. Many of the Federalists j aro (uko-warm and careless, on account of the troa-1 sonable course of the lenders of,their party in giving “aid and comfort" to Mexico, and abusing and slan. dering their own country. Many of these men will not go to the election at 011, and others of them ato open in declaring that “ the Whigs deserve a defeat.” I Is it any wonder that Ihehonest thinking portion I of the Whig party should pause.before casting their *votcs for that selfish nabob, James Irvin? Is it any wonder that they should look around them, and lake a view of the' past doings and predictions of their 'corrupt parly leaders? Their late predictions of ruin tB the country,’because of the passage of the hew tariff law—how have they been verified 7 Their treasonable course in relation to the -war 'in which we are]«ngagcd—how can it be explained? These | are'quettions which the honest portion of the.

Federal speech, makers ; and pensioned editors may-attempt to do* ceive and blind.fold the people, but we predict that the election in October next will convince these do* 1 magogacs that the “rank and file" oftheir party are capable of thinking ami acting.for themselves. To our friends in other counties we would say— all is well in old Mother Cumberland. Never have we known tho Democratic party to bb belter united than at present. All is* union and harmony, and every man appears determined to do his duty faith* fully and.well. That Sbunk and Longalretb, as well as onr whole Democratic ticket In this county, will succeed by a handsome majority, no one appears to entertain a doubt. - ALAS! POOR IRELAND* A late frish paper is before uf. It is dated Ist of May, It says: ♦ - ; , Where are the May-day rejoicings how 7 Where are tho laughing revellers? Alas!

Tho owner of the works sends (hem word through (he newspapers, that as they discharged themselves, he will dispense with their services, and put the slaves in their places. The matter is exciting some feeling, and the proprietor of tho works appeals to tho pdblio to sustain him in toileting what he calls "the boldest attack upon slavoTabor, and the,rights of the citizens, ever before made in slave stales.". FUOM GEN. TAVLOR’S ARMY. The steamship New Orleans, which arrived at New Orleans, on the 6th inst., brings later dates from Gen. Taylor’s army. Although the datcaare later, iho news Is not of importance. The Massa chusetts regiment had started for Montmy. Lt- Co). Wright had been elected to the Colonelcy of (his regiment, (vice Cushing, appointed Brigadier General,) Major Abbott chosen Lieut. Colonel, and Captain Webster Major. It gives us great pleas ure to stale that part of Col. Doniphan’s command had arrived at SaltJJlb, and the remainder was ex pected in a few days. A speedy movement of Gen. Taylor towards San Luis was atilt anticipated. DISGRACEFUL. The following from the Boston Advertiser, a Fed. cral Webster print, may be regarded as a specimen of (he decency of New. England loryism. When we < recollect how recently the South forgot Mr. Was- 1 •tor's politics and his faults, in paying a tribute to 1 to his tslents, this semi-invocation to outrage upon the President,'’to peculiarly and ineffably infamous : !“ Wc do not know that there is any authority for supposing that Mr. Polk has the intention of visiting Boston during this summer. Suck an intention could only bs/oumfedupon an ignorance of the ftelingt of the people of Ne to England, or a deeire to insult those feeling*. It is certain that the progress of the Pres dent through our Slate, would be undisturbed; it Is 1 probable that his reception would bo courteous; It Is • oven possible that he might moot with some flatterers , who would bo enthusiastic upon his advent; but we ] think no one who knows New England can have ad. vised Mr. Polk to this atop. To compel hypocrisy, | to invite adulation, would be tootad." SENATOR COnim* Several federal journals have spoken of Senator Corwin as a candidate for the Presidency. Presi dent of whall Of Mexico 1 Well, he wilt give Santa Anna a close run* He has strong claims ,on the confidence of the Mexicans. Let him print hib speech In Spanish,and distribute 100.000 copies through that country. He can have no heller el ectioneering document. GEN. TAYLOR* Various men have various ways of letting peo ple know that they are disturbed in mind ; some scold, some grumble, many swear; one man stamps, another clenches his fist; old Rough and Ready, ft seems, eats inordinate quantities of mustard when pny thing goes wrong with him. •« An officer” gives the following account of 4 ‘ Old ZackV 1 do ings when he received at the supper table General Scott’s letter, tolling him that he was going to lone his regulars: V Gen.

They save no pains they secure every device and exert Jvery effort for promoting their success; and If by intrigue and mis. representation they can mislead llip people, they smile equally upon their sacrifice of.principle and ' the triumph of their base schemes. Tho Federalists are arming to tho teeth, and we also must'‘gird on tho strong armor,” In order, td*’ properly.meet and i certainly, defeat our opponents.. An tHe second Tucs : day of October approaches, the conflict will become more vigorous. Del us act iiv concert, then, and our victory will be the more complete, SlaveryWTho Constitutionality of the late Act of Amiably* We slated ,in our last, tbftt we should probably speak of the cooßtilulionalitj' of Act of As. sembly in regard to slavery. It is, wd; believe, a generally admitted principle, and one necessary, to tho existence of the Union, (hat the constitution of the, Unlted.iSltttc*, ami the laws of Congress passed.in accordance, and consist* ent with it, constitute the supreme-law of the land; and that no act of any Slate Legislature or decision of any Stale court, contrary to either, is of any. va* lldily. ‘ Tho constitution of the United Stales, Art* 4, 3, declares, that 1 “No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof,Escaping' into another! shall, in consequence of any laxo or reguldltort 1 therein, be discharged from such service or labor,6wt ihalt be de* Utered up, on claim of the parly to whom such scr* vice or labor may bo dpe.” ! . , , .• Now it .is an admitted principle, that when any law guarantees a thing, it also guarantees, tho rncana and power of enjoying it. The Legislature of any Slate has therefore-no power to paais any “/aw'’ or ''regulation" hy which tho “delivering*op, ll tho ac quisition or enjoyment of the tblngguaranteed, shall be cither directly .or Indirectly defeated. l The actof Congress in connection with the abdVJi section of the constitution is as follows: Act of 12lh of Feb. 1793,.5tic; r Jk—V-When any person held to labor in any of the laws thereof, shall escape Into'any other, of the said Slates or Territories, the person to whom labor or scr. vice may bo a due, his agent or attfirnpy. is hereby empowered to seize or from la* bar, and to take him or her before'any judge of the circuit dr district courts of the U*S.Ae., or before any magietrate of a county, city, or'tepn corporate, wherein such seizure or arrest sha)!,bo made, and upon proof, Ac., it shall be the duly of such judge or magistrate to give a certificate thereof to such claim* ant, his agent or. attorney, which stmU be sufficient warrant for remoytpg the said fugitive Ac., to tho Staleyr Territory from which hq.atvTji fled," Ac, Btc.4.—“Any person iVhd shall Knowingly* and willingly obstruct or hinder such claimant, Ac., In so seizing or arresting Ac., or shalhtttcuo such fu gitive from such claimant,“ATc., when so orrcalcd, pursuant to the authority herein gioen or dectared ; or shall harbor or conceal such person, Ac;, shall for either of such offences forfeit and pay,” Ac. On this act, Judge Baldwin has decided, that the master “ may pursue and lake his slave without war. rant, and use at mark forte ob is necteeary to carry him back to hie residence.” Congreis has also in tho above-act, given the Stale Magistrates 11/o powerand authority to act for (he U.. States in recovering and restoring slaves to (heir masters. !Kne State cannot say, that because they afo sctingos’hcr magistrates, they shall not act for the United Stale's also. Tho U. States may appolojt lier officers hi anySlale—she may unquestionably oppoint any individual byname to execute her laws, and where is ,lbc difference, if she points out certain individuals without naming? But in any*casc, she is tho supreme authority, and may require under her constitutional provisions cith er individuals or States to act lor her—e. g. tho con. •titution requires (be State*, *' to deliver up” fugitive slaves. Hero the State is> called.upon (6 act, and how can she deliver them up, except by. means of her officers;—and shall the Legislature defeat this, and say that her officers shall not act ? ’ ■ In Art. 4, Sec. 2, of the constitution of the Uni. ted Slates, It is declared that “the citizens of each Slate shall be entitled to all privilege* and Imranm* (lea of citizens In the several States.” Id: the don* stitution of Pennsylvania, Declaration of Rights, Sec Ist, it Is declared “ That all men have certain inherent and indofea* siblo. rights, hmbng which aro those of acquiring, possessing, and protecting property,” dec. ~Bec. 9th.—“ All courts shall bo‘open, and'every man, for an Injury done him, in his lands, goods, per* sun or reputation, shall have remedy by duo course of law,” dt-c. . ; , • Now in tho Southern States slaves aro.held by their laws as personal property, am) by the consUlu lion of the United Stales and the laws of Congress other States are compelled to recognize them as pro* pcrly. If slavery he an evil, it is not therefore, our place, to legislate for the Southern Stoics, and virtu* ally deny them their property. If “citizens of each State shall bo entitled to all privileges ll of oilizent of this Bute, they have a right to como hero, and do* dare that by tholr law, slaves are their property as our citizens have tho right guaranteed them of going without any denial, into our courts, and claiming tho arm of the law, for the recovery of their proper* ty, eo hove Southerners tho Same right. As “all courts sboU bo open, and. every man, for an injury done hlnj, in his lands, goods, See., shall haVo reme dy, I ’—so our courts, both for Northerner! and South erners,shall and mdsiact; and sa the office of Jus* tic of tho Pcaco is a court, (although not a court of record) ho equally with the others, must act—his court “ shall bo open.” Compare then, tho ad of Assembly, in regard lo slavery, which yve published in our last, with the above, and an idea may boYorrned of Us constitu tionality. •. _ Aw UttMTo*.—A fellow bearing (ho form of hu. tho till© of "Hevtrend B, H.

So 1 gross was the indignity offered to (head companies that Captains Caldwell and Taylor fell called up on to repel it in the most public manner possible, and issued a card to the public, from Which we extract the following paragraphs :; . “ The paragraph alluded to, denominates many of the soldiers as mere ‘s/rtp/ing*,’ and gives this as mVcncc .that tho ‘Administration has ceased to be very particular in its choice of at tempting to create the impression that these com panies are made up of the refuse and offscourings of creation.

Mr. Bbnton and tub Presidency — Prediction or a Dissolution optoe Union.— Mr. Benton hoa appear, cd in another Jclter in the’Missouri papers. The particular reason which called him out on this.occa sion, Is to express his views qf the Presidency in 1648, and to save (he Union from .destruction, threat ened by the.elcction-of a southern man lothatoffice. Mr, Benton sees a new scheme developed from (he south for the permanent exclusion'©fall northern men from southern support from the Presidency.—: Tho resolutions introduced into the Senate towards tho close of the late.session, and their practical op. plication to Oregon, reveal this scheme, he says, a now test on the slavery question which no northern man can stand,'and which if adopted by (ho south must put an end to .all further support of northern men from tho southern democracy.

But now anew position-is to bo taken—ono oh which no northern man can stand. Propagandisro is now tho doctrine of tho political sect which as sumes to ho the standard bearer of all the slavehold ing States; and to plant a slavery, by law, in all the territories of tho United States, even the most hyper borean-even in Oregon itself, and against the will of its inhabitants—becomes the design and (ho at tempt. ‘ . ’ . Now every body must see that if this new test shall bo adopted by the slavcholding Slates, there is an end to all political support of northern men in these Slalci—that the present organization of parties must bo broken up, and a new party formed, bounded by geographical lines and resting on tho sole principle of slavery propagandising Tho presidential election of 1849 is (ho crisis; and if tho new test can bo made to govern that election, I shall Consider the danger consummated, and that there must soon be an end not only of tho democratic parly, but of all par* lies founded on principle, and, eventually, on end of tho Union Itself. Instead, then, of indulging'a per* sunol or local feeling in favor of particular candidates, let us (the'democratic party) look to what the good of (ho Union and of Clio party requires, and wait to receive a candidate from that section of the Union which has given but one Democratic President in nesr sixty years, and that one but for a single term, and which is now threatened, so far as Southern vo> ters arc concerned, with permanent exclusion from the presidential office. ’ His letter is addressed to the officers of a meeting which expressed a partiality for Mr. Benton for tho office. , ANOTHER SLANDER REFUTED.

'A writer In the Democratic Review, whois prob ably well informed, gives tho following esiheoon ditlona upon which our government is willing to treat with Mexico: ‘• As to cession of territory demanded of the Mexicans, the Administration will not claim it as a forfeit, but offer to pay for it so ns to acquire it by purchase. , Wo wants clear title, ol it} and the administration considers purchase (he very boat of nil titles. . V Tho expense of tho.war we will hat claim from the Mexicans; and the indemnity which she awes our citizens will bo assumed by the government of the U« Stales. We shall then claim no money, of Mexico In any shape; and are willing to accept land in payment of oifr just demands. As to the territory to bft ceded or sold to us by Mexico we are of the oplnlon ibat luwill not com prise more than Upper California and New Mexi co, and that our. government will not insist, as n condition of peace,'on the riglu'bf way across tho Isthmus of Tehuantepec ; but rather tnako this a subject for. subsequent friendly negotiations be tween the two sister Republics. 1 * s ADJtoJlltmO MEETING.
