Lett* a from Henry Clay.— On one first page wo publish a letter/rom Mr. Clay, in which ho not only, trows that he wiU accept a nomination for the Pres idency, but also attempts (o show that he Is the most •* available ” candidate in the Federal ranks. The letter. • is. certainly a most extraordinary one, and •when it firil.msde Us appearance in Carlisle, was pronounced * r a loco-foe • Aoox,” by many whuconsid or themselves the “knowing ones” in the Federal parly. But the loiter is genuine—ho doubt shout it, and may be regarded as Henry CUy’s last desperate attempt to reach the white house.- /Professor Allen's Address.— Other engagements deprived Us the pleasure of hearing the address de livered by Prof. Allen, in the Methodist Church bn Wednesday-of last week, on “the life and character of John Quincy Adams.” Wc learn, however, from several who-wore'present, that the address was very interesting and able, andThatthc speaker acquitted himself with great credit. frj»ODR Streets are in r bad condition—filled with dirt, loose stunc, &c. Wo think if oar town council were to exercise a little more liberality, and keep the borough in belter (rim, it would not injure their popularity, and our citizens would be gratified. UrSTBRIOCS DISAPPEARANCE* ’ Ob Saturday morning lost, a young man by the name of John Powns, who had been boarding at the public-house of Mr. David Martin of .(Ins borough, left town and has not since been heard of. He had been a sailor, who had been shipwrecked and lost his voice, being not able to spook above a whisper. He bad one draft on a Philadelphia Bank; for about $l4O, and it is thought other drafts also, and was •apposed to have some.go!d in u belt around his per* sou.' He has no relations living,, his only brother haring been recently killed by falling off the mast bead of « vessel. He was very much'esiecmcd by those who knew him, for His manly qualities, as well as on account of his misfortunes. There Is suspicion that.He may have met with (out play, and any infer/ rtiation that can be given to Mr. Martin in relation to (his young man will bo thankfully received. He was seen in the morning of Saturday some little dis tance from (own, towards Harrisburg, along'the rail road, and had been talking of going but fishing. Hew Storks and New Goods.—By reference to our advertising columns, it .will bo seen that. Mr. *JoBM JS.'Forbter Has opened a new and large store in (he room formerly occupied by Mr. Angney. His assortment is very extensive, and has been selected with much *are and judgment.

See their adver tisements, and then go and see them. Our Mechanics,—Several of our most enterprising mechanics changed their places of residence, shops, dtc. on tho 6rsl of April. By reference to our adver. tiling columa their friends can find out the where abouts of several of them. Mad Docs.—We bavc seen noticed in several of our exchange pipers within the last two weeks, that numerous dogs have been killed within a short time, in different sections of the Slat*, exhibiting all the dreadful symptoms of hydrophobia, In consequence of which, prompt measures have been taken by tho town councils of severs! of our neighboring boroughs, for the extirpation of these nuisances, Our town is at present overrun with an unusually large numb?/ of these animals, the majority of which are of no possible use to iny one. The safely of our citizens requires their confinement or destruction, and it is to be hoped that those who have the power will do llieir duly.

'' OOV* BHVNXC AND THE BANKS■ Never, since the days of Simon Snyder, have wej been blessed with 'a Governor who has so truly ex pressed the wishes ofvhe people,and given those wishes the form bf.official sanction,a3;hae car present patriot ic Executive. Ho has not kept “ the word of promise lu the ear, and broke it To the.hope,” but has kept' pace with the progressive spirit of the democracy, arid especially has this been The, cose oh the banking question. The great secret of hi* popularity consists in his intuitive knowledge of the senlitßenls of the masses, and a careful, administration of the govern* ment, so as to protect their rights against the wiles of cunning demagogues, by refusing to give his sane* lion to laws which must of necessily'gradually steal the powers of government from the hands of the many, and place them in tbb hands of the few. The Governor, has, therefore, repudiated the old theories of Bunking, which have produced so much misery and distress, arid caused so many and-violcnt fluctuations in the commercial world. What has been admitted as an universal evil, he very Justly thinks.deserves to be remedied. He may be charged, ft* was the patriotic Jackson, wUh “ tinkering with the currency,” at the same time, that ho is carrying into effect the most wholesome and salutary reforms. There are those who plead the very evils produced by a vicious system of banking, as the primary rea son for The continuance of that system In the same debased form. 1 Because the patient suffers, his disease must be stimulated, rather than apply a remedy soft ficienily powerful to eradicate it—because the Irlebri* ate is bloated , and lottoring from the excessive use‘of intoxicating drinks, he must continue therein, lest his system bo disordered and his nerves unstrung! Thus the evil grows'by the food it craves, and feeds on. ’ With dll our experience, on the subject ©Thanking, there are'those who do not learn wisdom by it. It cannot be denied that many banks, constituted on the exploded theory ofbahking, have failed, and produced serious loss, not. only to the bole holders, but also to the owners of the stock . themselves. Wc need not refer to the old “ monster,” whoso bones lie bleach, ing in our commercial metropolis. We have only to look at every corner of the commonwealth, and the experience of bankers and the community has been the same, from 1614 to-the present moment.- What have been estimated our bcst regulatcd banks wind up in any thing-but a satisfactory manner to those interested in- them. The one formerly located in our midst is a practical example of this trulh. It was in the hands of competent, and, as we believe, honest men, and yet its capital is now considered'vastly de* ficicnt. What can produce this? Why is this evil so. universal ? There can bo but one. answer, and that is, that it is the natural result of a fulte system of banking —a system' which the Democracy desire to change. Governor Shunk,as the true exponent of these progressive views, wo aro proud to suy,.hns re* solved to meet the crisis in which ho is thrown, with true manliness and courage. Ho is for no tompori '• sing, half-way policy, but looks the evil in the faco and proposes the. remedy. He stands the champion of the great Democratic party of Pennsylvania on tins subject, and has thrown himself in the bleach to see that justice be done them. They have, been cheated and betrayed oft and again in times past* but they have now the aMorancce of a confirmed faith. And what mcasuros-does he propose? Read his message, to be found bn bur first page of to-day's paper, and wo venture the prediction, that ifhis views be carrn’od into effect, the bankers and the people would be mutually benefitted and protected, by the abandomnentoftho false theories of (he old exploded system. . His remarks upon (be evils of Biuks being permitted to have their charters renewed as a matter of course; at llnfir expiration, arc well limed and ap. propriolc. It places the solvent and insolvent instir lotions on the same basis, and is equally injurious to the public and those banks who are.entitled to con. fidence. The Governor well says that “the lime for the mysterious secrcsy which has Vo long shrouded (ho transactions ofbanking institutions, has gone by.” He recommends, first—restricting the amount of ( Issues to a leas' proportion to their capital. They are now'generally authorized to issuo three times the amount oftheir capital. This he considers 100 much, and oughl.to bo.reduced. In this connexion also, ho says, (he amount of debts (hey are permitted to con tract, ought to'be lessened, so as (o restrain their operations at all times within reasonable and safe limits. Ho rccommchds.sccondly—the banks keeplngthelr notes ut par in the city of Philadelphia. This would stop tho system ofbrokorage and shaving, which has been sb advantageous to the coqntry banks, in the depreciation >of their paper* and which indirectly robs the people of the interior of thousands of dollars ertftaaljy. He rccommends,lhird)y~tho makingofthebankei more essentially public institutions, the directors of which should be placed under oath, and their whole proceedings bo at all times open to the inspection of the stockholders, a committee of the Legislature, or to any officer ofthe State duly authorized. Ho recommends, fourthly—tlio failure to redeem their notes oa demand tn specie, ipaofaclo a forfeiture of their charter. He recommends, fifthly—the prohibition of all notes uftcr a reasonable time, under (ho denomination of ten dollars. •. * These arc the wise end salutary reforms advised by his Excellency, ond which If adhered to, will rcn. dor (ho name of Gov. Shunk indissolubly identified with d new era In tho monetary affairs of Penney!; vania. He has already done good service In break* ing down the spirit of monopoly which was attempt, ed to bo roared in our midst, in the form of inanti. factoring corporations. Let him persevere in all kindred democratic measures, and his fame will bo dear to Pennsylvania, and she will henceforth claim him as one of her brightest ornaments, and most loyal of her sons. Tenth Judicial District.— Before the, final ad* journmcnl of the Legislature, tho Governor nomlns* led John C, Knox, Esq., of Tioga county, as Prcsl* dent Judge of tho 10th Judicial District, which nom ination was unanimously confirmed by the Senate,— This, it will bo recollected, is (ho District to which Mr. Burrbll was nominated and rejected. The now Judge cannot fail to bo popular with tho people and the bar. Ho has all the requisite qualifications, and is beside* a gentleman of most courteous and pro* possessing deportment. The Army.— The MoUU Herald, of the 6(h Inst, ssys j—“ We learn from Capl. Howard, of tho ship St. Petersburg, direct from Vera Cruz, that the Amer ican troops had withdrawn from the city of.

It is ho who rolls in luxury, and fares * sumptuousjy every day, and whose wealth is nccu mutated through the oppression of the poor. These arclhe men who dre forever Idling us that the coun try is about to be "‘ruined*'' and.these are the .men who protend to' sympathize with thu laborer, and are. constantly prating About “ A<ird*t»mee,*' while from their inmost souls they only seelt to devise ways and means more effectually to grind down the poor, qnd reduce them to abject 1 vassalage. By-whom is the cry,now raised? By the brawling,politician of the city—by iron-masters—by ‘‘those who wish to bo «• protected 1 ' at the sacrific^ofevery other branch of business—by office-seekers, whose anxiety fur power and place induces them to attempt all kinds of dis honesty and. deception—by demagogues—those who are determined to keep up tho.cry , that " the country is ruined and the people *Amd these.are the inch who pretend 10' bave’thirinlercat ofthe poor man at heart!

It Is somewhat strange, but not more strange than true, that tho leading Federalists—and particularly aristo cratic iron-masters—oaro nothing whatever for tho poor man except for a fow months preceding an imr portant election! After the election they' care no longer for tho laborer—their crocodile tears arc dried up, and lhey*ogain assume that haughty overbearing spirit peculiar to men holding ; Fcdcral principles, 1 f they, through a system of fraud,'-bribery, corrup* lion, arid lying,.lmppeh to succeed in carrying their candidates—as in 1840—they then adopt the doctrine, •* take care of the rich, and the rich will false .care of the poor!"

The tUlcof happy pros perity-that is now. sweeping over our happy land, wqAUU* suddenly checked,.and instead of ideal and fanciful “ ruin and distress," we would have them in . all their fearful reality and lamentable consequences. The cry of ** ruin" which is still kept up by a few i designing demagogues, is done with the object to * blindfold and deceive the people. Like tho wary serpent, whose poisonous;fangs are bloated,and ready to inflict its' deadly sling, they, 6nly wait a > proper time to throw off the mask, and then bind down, with a despot's power, and command with a tyrant's wrath. Are tho*frcemen of ihisrcnurUy—this State —this country—ready for the sacrifice? ’ Has liber, tyloat hor charm, and freedom her-power?’ If not, Id her sturdy sons rise in the strength and majesty of thoii power, and say to these demagogues’ and plotters of ruin and distress— hence “ to the .vile dual from .whence you spring"—“ Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God."

He will, no . doubt, luxuriate in pll that Money con pro cure; while many of tho tailing note holders will fed ihe want of bread, from ttioeffecUoChii rascal* ity, and that of those connected with him, ; But his rascality, great as it in,is only equalled by tho impu dencoof the Federal presses that are;exulting.over the Dank as a result of what they are picas* ed to term “ loco-focu" Bank management. They presume so much upon the ignorance of the People, as to suppose them incapable of distingosbing be tween a natural ally of their own partj, and the con sistent supporters of doctrines which this Lake has uniformly opposed. While ho, and olhcrs. no more honest, have uniformly acted with the Federal party, in opposing all those reforms which have been urged by tho'truu and unwavering Democracy ofOhio, they and their presses have not only been wiijing to use him, but to encourage and commend him; but, since he has shown to. the People, in the plainest manner possible, one of the beauties of their own favorite system of banking, they call him a loco foco, and protend to have a sacred regard for honesty.

TUB WHIGS AND THEIIVmOTATOU. The most extraordinary characteristic about Mr. Clay's Cardk or Letter, or Petition far a nomination, ot proclamation of acceptance—call it what you will —the' most oxtraotdlnalry feature of,it seems to us to be the m itchlosJ arrogance of its tone. ■ Fiona nil that appeal s in) the document itself, Toniarks the Washington Union.no soul has asked him to publish iti Doubtless his friends wished him not. to refuse a nominalionif offered. But no man,woman,or child In the -country, who knew anything'show him or hit history, or his character, ever thought that he would so refuse. His proclamation, over , his own signature, was not only utterly -uncalled for —it was absolutely without any decent pretext what ever:! And coming thus upon us, what is it on its very face?. It is Mr. Clay's soiemp assurance to the whigs, that rather than ace them broken up ond defeated, as they must be without him j ho. will'even forego his hitherto carefully concealed,preference for private life, (Heaven save the mark !) and even volunteer himself, two months beforehand, the willing Victim of tlieir suffrages, heretofore so often bestowed on him in vaiii! It is a new, spectacle of sollcUation.for tbc presidency. For the presidency ! Yes ; or fbr. any other office in the popular gill.!

He will gener ously forgive their error ! • Doubtless, thjey'foil into it,bccauss of their despair of ever persuading him to run! He has been so very unwilling to be voted for before, that they surely could not expect be would consent again! Besides,,when forced from his re tiremenMo plead a cause—a most opportune cause —in the Supremo Court at Washington, he kept him self so quiet on hid way home! He shunned the pub lic ,eyo iso, and showed so clbarly that, as in the case of tho melancholy Prince of Denmark, "man de* lights not him; no, hor tbormm neither!" . After so many and such shrinking Signs of a besotted devo tion to privacy, surely the mistake, of his friends in supposing (hat he would*ever be a public mao again was most natural! Hoar bow generously he excu ses them for it: . * It will bo seen from what I have stated, (hat (hero was reason 16 anticipate that I would decline giving my consent (o.(he use of my name again as a can didate for the.

They are enrolled among the list of the Philanthro pical cut-throats of (heir sons and brothers and Will shine forever opposite tho names ofthose whose blood has enriched the soil of. tho invaded Republic and whose bones whiten upon her plains. Satan, when a young and ambitious spirit, considered it preferable to rule in hell than serve in heaven, and his friends upon earth may with propriety follow his example. Not. that those who ollcmpl to light fires of discord in our national councils are of this favor, for wc doubt whether Satan would turn traitor to his own household. " We published yesterday the reward which Mexico meets out to her “ defenders" in the United States, yet we cannot refrain from again giving it a place in our columns. Our paper felt short yesterday, and we do nol want an American in Mexico or out ofit to lose the record. • From tho Monitor Republicano, Mexico, of Jan. 27, 1648. ' •' Messrs. Cur, Calhoun, Botw, Wcustkr. Holmes, Galla tin, Van Dvcx, Ac., Ac. ■ “These Illustrious defenders or the causa of Mexico have justly acquired the gratitude of all good Mexicans. At a pub lic meeting of thc PAi/antAropic Society of Mtxico, held on the 2Cth hist., it was resolved to uirect to them a communication manifesting the gratitude of this society, and appointing them honorary members of the same. Whatever may be the politi cal circumstances under which Mexico and I he United Slates find themselves, wo must render ourhoJnngc nnd gratitude to the magnanimous smlgcnermis men uhudarc tospenk. In our favor in the very same laud in which mun oru assembled towage war against ns. Eternal praise to thn defenders uf the cause ofjusfice and civilization," Hear this, Americans! Hear it yo whose relatives and friends have fallen in the desperate cncountfls of Mexico while upholding the banners and the h'ohbf of you country I Hear it ye stricken widows and helpless orphans, whose support and guide have laid down their lives in defence of the rights guarantied them and you by the blood of llio- patriots of the re volution! And. hoar ilyo few remaining links be tween (he glorious achievements of '76 end ’47, though It freeze the feeble Hfe-pulsc and stilt your brave hearts’.beating forever! God ofheatan!' Can men thus false to their country, thus fluttered by the common enemy of the land of their birth, have the effrontery to retain their places In the Congress they have dishonored ! >Ve hope not. If they have any sense of shame left, leriheindcsort (h 6 companion ship of Americans and join bur foes. Hero they could but kill their countrymen—there they*stab theircountry. f i ' .“To what base uses do y|e come at last!” Wc remember some of thb’tmm aboVo applauded, when they stoud forth shining examples. ’ Oh, how the na lion doted on them! She counted them among her 1 jewels' and looked forward to (heir maturer yeafs with the pride of a mother. But the demon ambition filled her clip for them and they drained it to the dregs. Unrequited hopes and chided'atpiralions Ail ed their hearts with bitterness and turned their love of country to gall. In ah evil moment the motto " rule or ruin” was adopted by them, and failing in the first, all thftir energies were devoted to the latter. Much as they- have been denounced by Ihe people whom they have betrayed, when the tribute of Moxii co shall be received the measure of their disgrace will bo filled. Who of the little band of patriots here is there who would change places with the 'greatest of these 7 ; Who would consent to become so unwor thy of his country' and all honorable men as to bo considered a fit subject for such a compliment ? - THE TEN HOUR LAW* An Act to limit the hours oflubor and to prevent the employment in factories of children under twelve years of age: 1 Shot. 1.
