NkwUn, -Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of this borough, resigned Ins pastoral charge on last Sabbath. Wo regret to make this announcement, for we have always regarded Mr. N. as a young mah of more Ilian ordinary abilities, and a true and de voted Christian. We sincerely hope that prosperity and happiness may attend his efforts wherever it may be his lot to dwell. The following notice of his'resignation we clip from the Herald of yester day: j “Although the acceptance of his resignation was urgently pressed upon his friends by himself, in con sequence of his unchangeable determination to leave, but few of the congregation voted to accept it,-4a fabt which cxlubftod the warm esteem in which he if held.' He is a faithful and devoted Christian Min-. ' istcT. nnd We wish him happiness and prosperity in whatever sphere of usefulness his future lot may bo .cast. 2fb will preach his farewell sermon on Sunday next” A writer in yesterday’s Herald, who tells us that he has “studied as mucli law as the editor of the Volunteer," attempts to vindicate, the late l£vv In re* lalion to. fugitive slaves, and concludes that our re. marks on the constitutionality of that act are erro neous. It is quite probable the writer in the Herald baa studied as much law as' ourself, and perhaps a good deal more, but still wo are firm in -our belief that that act is a nullity. We lake the common sense view of the matter. That law, in .as many words, puts at defiance*all laws of Congress on (he same subject, and tho correspondent of the Herald himself is forced to admit this when he says that “our State law comes in collision wilh tho act of Congress.”— As this question is likely to come before the proper .tribunal for Investigation, we feel no anxiety to pro* long the discussion.

' Every thing which abridges the rights of the people anti ro)>s them of their hard .earnings un justly: is anli-dcmocratic.

FRANCIS R. SHUNK. In looking over Mrs. Anne Royall’s " Pennsylva. nla," published in two volumes in 1629, we find the ,following notice of our present worthy Governor, then Clerk of the House of Representatives, by that shrewd but eccentric woman. She gives a descrip tion of the members of the Legislature, and winds up her remarks respecting those of the lower House, with this notice of Mr. Shunk s 4 “ It would seem the taste of thfc Assembly center.' cd in the person of its felerk. Tlid clerk of the house is the pride of the Susquehanna, and beyond ques. tion, the most, perfect model of manliness in the Slate, or perhaps in America.

The amount received during.tbo same month of the present year, was $246,127 41. This Shows an excess of $76,169 13 over-tho sum received during the same period last year. Oh, this horrid ’46 Tariff, it is bringing ruin upon the Merchant, the Mechanic, the Farmer, and all branches of business! It must bo repealed. In. deed it must! Governor of Now York has issued a pro* clamation calling the Senate together on the 29th Inst. This call of the Senate became necessary in consequence of the election of Chief Justice Bronson and Justice Jowelt as Judges of the Court of Appeals.

After they had floated a few rods from the wreck, Mr. William Steel, of Weil Mill Creek, Pa., thinking.all would bo sucked down with the then fast sinking craft, took his chance of escape, by leaping into the lake astride the tiller stick.. Mr. S. being a largo, resolute, muscular man, and somewhat familiar with tho water, soon overlook tho persona clinging to lho,tablo, and joined his fate to theirs.— Nollong after a sou knocked off his hat, in which he had placed hla pocket book, containing valuable papers', when he loft his hold on tho table and tiller ’ stick, swam after and secured his hat, and returned to the table. Ills pocket book and tiller slick, how ever, wore lost in the daring adventure, i The four (bund it difficult to keep tho table balan . ccd, and the action of tho waves frequently plunged some of tho number under. In one instance, Mr. 1 Van Doron'wos swept completely under, and came . up on the opposite side of the table. Ho waa moat , strangled, and after this failed fast in his efforts to keep Tils head above water. About an hour after 1 leaving tho wreck, as Mr. Steele thinks, Mr. Van | Doren succeeded in raising himself upon tho table face down, and lacking strength to support his head, ” lie soon drowned, and Ills body rested upon llio table [ some time after life was apparently extinct, before i the waves washed it off*. Ho said but little after lea.' ving tho wreck, and was divested of all his clothing 1 except shirt and pantaloons, After losing Mr. Van Doren, Mr. Stem and Mr. Ulggips. occupied 'one side of .the table, and Mr. : ' SlooTo, being a 1 heavy man, balanced thorn on tho > other. The table wns without a loaf, and bottom up. By drawing Ifiolr breasts up across the edge, they could reach over and clasp tho logs of the tablewith Ihoir hands, and in this way they kept" afloat for hours.

The New Orleans Southerner t an independent paper', conducted, it is said, by a relative of Gen. Jefferson Davis and Gen. Taylor, and by no means friendly to the administration, makes the following remarks uppn the admission of Santa At<na into Mexico. . Wo hope our neighbor of the Herald will give the extract a careful reading: This ** Pass’* appears to be the bull still of ev ery little driveller in the country who is opposed io the Administration: ; Blackguards— whose wit, (the bad with!the good,) constitute as important a column in some newspapers, one would think, as matters of a more wholesome tendency—are for over ringing the monotonous, changes upon 4 * Mr. Polk’s pass.” And editors,of superior intelligence Indisposed to theutteranccof mere Tom. Joneslsms, make the same subject-matter of considerable im portance by-very labored disquislions. There is one advantage' in the course of tlio latter—they are undisturbed by the reflection that they cor rupt the public mind—and incur the contempt of liberal and intelligent men, to .whom dirty witti cisms and stale personalities bring no pleasure or of the manifested character of the Mex ican leader, and his knowledge of the power of the country-wiih which bis own was at war, it was no great nrieslop to have approached him by a nego tiation to which every thing had; given, promise. But Santa Anna, like his countrymen generally, had no confidence in,the determination of the pros* ernltoik of ihe'tvar bytho U.’ BtafWand If with »; largo force he could have routed Inferior forces, by this time peace would have been made, because, if any day he w.shed to accept it by negotiation, it was there for his acceptance; and.at the same time his military genius would have received ad ditional fame from his own.country and ours, in common with tho world ! But Santa Anna mis took Mr. Polk as much us Mr. Polk mistook San* ta Anna. It was a good movement on the part of Mr. Polk in consideration of the probable play of Santa Anna, influenced by that movement. Bui the Mexican General understood that perfectly, and cpmmonced a a ncw series of movements in another quarter, where the probabilities were.more numer ous of assisting him out of tho game altogether, with honor 10-hunself. Bulhcre Uncle Sam disap pointed him by improbable results There is much, no doubi, to exonerate the Pres ident in the admission of tho Mexican. It is true, that the war would have been continued whether he had granted tho pass or not. And as to the leadership of the armies of the enemy, it would have been difficult to have obtained o man in all Mexico who could have been less favored by the fortune of war. Morales or La Vega'would have done us infinitely moro harm than-.lhls general, in the conflicts from which lie fled. It is a very for tunate thing for Mr, Polk that Santa Anna seems to lave lost hla original pluck. - Dibtretsino Accident. —Mr. Benjamin Snyder, a resident of Ilaimttonban township,.

The Difference.— ln the war of 1813, tho Tory Kof Ihu American Republic, whleh then “gloried j name” of Federalist, os it now' 'doc* in that of Whig, presented <L spectacle to its adherents coh. treating extraordinarily with tho onp of tho present day. When Andrew Jackson, at Now Orleans, drove the- rod-coats from our soil and the Federalists from our national councils, whlggery did not soixo upon his achievements to make its odious principles a* vuilablo before the people. But Federalism had more respect for its propriety then than now; It lias tho most unparalleled effrontery, the most unlhish. ing impudence; to oppose the war, to give aid and comfort to the nation's enemy; to place the blood shed in this war upon the head of tho President, and to srrogaloto themselves the victory! Thereby most basely, wiokcdlydonouttcing the tar//; blit endeavor. 1 ing to appropriate to themselves the etoleti goods!! To such iiitoudoncd, there Is but one parallel, which , is recorded in the fourth chapter of the Gospel no.
