V/ >.Haiu—On Sunday last oiir borough was visited with a heavy fall of hail, which, had it been accom ' paoied by Wind, might have occasioned considerable • damage to windows, &c. Wo picked up from the ‘ yard pfonr dwelling several hail stores nearly tl,o site of a ben egg. Wo learn that several fields cf grain not far from town were completely cut to pieces ' by the hail.

He looks greatly improved in health, and is in capital spirits.. Johnston’s Pledges vb.

Tsylor should, bo elected, among which is the follow* ingr 44 He will, proscribe no man for a conscientious difference of opinion; being a lover of freedom of thought himself, he can afford to tolerate it in “ others.* 1 This same Governor, says the Upland Union, in company with Thaddous Stephens and the notorious Lewis C. Levin, have been during the past week in structing Mr. Lewis to outset every Democrat in office, and put in their places depcndcnljcreaturcs wl.o will do the bidding of their masters. The same course has been pursued in the Post office, and such Was iho incompctency ofsome of llio selections—not . made by Mr. White, bulby his masters, llialthey slop ed immediately. Senator Cooper, we learn, was not In (he council of advisement. Mr. Cooper is a Whig of another stamp, who stands, npon (he dignity of his party,, believing that men who have minds should use the benefit of the public, by an honest exposition of their views, and by the selection of honest and competent agents. Harrisburg.— The Dtmocraiic Union of Wcdocs' doy lsst contains the following . .. “A subscription book has been opened for (be stock to a cotton Factory in our borough.

A Curious Request. —Vintner, condemned at Baltimore to be hung, is composing a dirge, which he asks’permission to perform, on his way from his cell to the place of execution. Failure or Bishop Doank.— Some of the pa* pers are commenting at length, with great Indignation, upon the defalcation of Biahp Do* une. Tho 'l'roy Whig* in particular, condenses the following details of indebtedness for tht purpose of censure; , To O.

Disagreeable Companions.— A large portion of the people of New Orleans are now inhabitants of the Mississippi River, (hat stream having made its way into the city. The New Orleans Bulletin says it is quite common to find the regu lar inhabitants of the river, aligators and snakes, taking up their quarters in the houses. One or two deaths have occurred from the bites of ser* pants in ibis way. Dclidcrate Suicidx.— Lieut. Henry Casper, who accompanied Co).

Aivointmcnt.— Charles Fenno Hoffman, Esq., has been Appointed to a 11400 clerkship in the Slulo do pertinent at Washington. , i; ' EVRpPEwITB FUTURE* The iapect of : tlie old yvorid at the present time, is R fearlhl one. Thrones are tottering and falling now governments are arising, and the boundaries of nations are changing, . This is the beginning—6u( toftai is to be Me end ? No rqpn knoweth I ,It may be freedom to millions born in slavery—it may ,bo anarchy, or it may be despotism more fearful in Jts character, and more firmly rivited than ever. One hardly knows what to think of the age and the World, as it now appears. There has never been a century like the present. America opened it with the dawn of freedom. It rose upon Europe weltering In blood, struggling in a fierce and frenzied effort to break her chains; and.at last saw her sinking back after her strength and blood were exhausted Into a servitude as degrading and oppressive as before.— Tho. century has also been characterized by an in. telleclual effort, as. great as the physical. It has been made one of improvement in the arts and sci* enocs, eclipsing any former period, and leaving even the Augustan age so far behind as to destroy com parison. This'golden time of Rome ehono merely with refinement and learning, accomplishing, how ever, np great and beneficial change in tho affairs of the world. It was an age of flowers without fruit. But tho 19 tb century has all its elegance in manners, and beauties in learning, connected with matters of far greater importance and utility—a Baconian sys. tern of philosophy—a system that aims at practical improvement, Tho billowßof the Atlantic and Pa- ( cific are now the playthings of our mariners. Our seambn ride to the remotest parts of the world jny. fully and rapidly upon, the crests' of the waves— I “are borne like the bubbles onward,” and “lay their hands” familiarly on oceans “ mane.” Our citizens of all classes, by the practical operations of Science, whirl with the speed of lightening from one end of the continent to tho other; 14 whizzing across the'val leys”—dashing over mountains, where our fathers never thought of making a highway—“rattling through ridges,” and darting through the very bow els of.tlie earth. Wo also annihilate, space and time, conversing with our friends wherever (bey ore —hundreds and thousandsof miles away, in.the re motest places, most secluded villages, or crowded ci ties. Wo know their exact position, and almost sco their smiles, and. hear tlio very tones of their voices. All this we have accomplished by ingenuity of mind, fertility of genius, and application of knowl edge; and an angle looking.down upon as mlglil think, wo lived in elysium, and were rapidly progressing towards perfection. But in tho very middle of this wonderful century, all this harmony is marred by tho notes of preparation for war. The arlizan is laying aside his implements, and the scholar neglect, iug his pen and experiments for tho sabre and bayo net. The new world blazes forth, and two sister Re publics are In deadly conflict. The plains of. Mexi co are died with blood, and around her proudest cities the stin is obscured by (he somko of artillery. Yu catan is convulsed, in the remote South, and hefeiti zens. butchered | In' the oilier extreme Canada is rocking and ready for strife. If wo go into South America, wcbehold nothing butrevolutions and wars. One chicfand his followers arrayed against another, and nations seeking to weaken and destroy (heir kin dred governments. From India—from distant India, the only sound wo hear is the roar of cannon, and the mingled groans of dying soldiers and generals. Wo find the exciting object of intetest there, to be, a daring and bravo people whose ancestors tho Grout Alexander admired fur tholr military prowess, stri ving fearfully to rid themselves .of tho deadly and ciushing colls of afar off power, whoso grandeur and strength, and magnificence are built on the ru- ins of nations, and whoso sovereign robes arc drip, ping with tho blood of many millions of men. A power unknown and unborn, when tho people into whose vitals their deadly * fangs ore sinking, Were justly celebrated by the oldest historians, for their bravery and love of freedom. But from Europe— from r*Jined % civilized, christianized Europe, what do wo hear? It is one eternal peal of artillery. Every breeze tbat comes sighing across the ocean, bears upon its breast the account of mangled thousands. Every message speaks of butchery and blood. On the sea, the decks of vessels are made slippery with gore, and on land, in the country, and in the streets of cities, it is standing in pools. Tho plains have become a stench, and the very atmosphere isimpreg* talcd with carnage. The whole scene reminds us of that verso in Revelations, “For they arc the spirits of devils, which go forth unto the kings of the earth aid the whole world, to gather them to (ho battle of that great day." Really it does appear as if (he spin its of devils were gathering (ho kings of the earth to a groat and final battle. And we do not. know that either plillunthnpy or Christianity would blush, if we should offer up a prayer, that it might bo for (heir final destruction. Such scenes and such horrors remind us of the latter days, when there shall be nothing but “wars and rumorsof ware.” Our last accoul from Europe, are ofa similar char actor with those that have for a long time preceded (hem. In every quarter (ho continent is heaving— elements of discord are flowing together—the armies of all tho governinons ore preparing for (ho grapple, and from present oppoorances, Europe with its ex treme bounds only for a limit, will before long, be a confused mass of rolling, struggling, fighting and dying nations. In Hungary, wo find a bravo people striking with ' a maddened desperation for their freedom, and dri> 1 ving their oppressors by the fury of thoir onsets, be* ypnd their bounds. But tho tyrant is preparing for an other effort, and booked by Prussia, and assisted by 200,000 Russian serfs, who have to die ol the word ofo muster, it will bo a fierce and deadly one. Thu struggle may not end however with Hungary. Olh cr powers, the bravest and greatest In Europe, have protested against tins Interference of the Czar, and the French and English armies may yet stand side by side, assisting the Hungarians in their encounter. When this lakes place, as most likely It will, tho continent will rock under the convulsion and con filet. In Germany, the people and parliaments aro ncgo« ciallng with Princes in whom they have no confi dence, and who have violated every pledge, with tha points of Ihoir daggers touching; and the Frankfurd Constitution has become the watch word of liberty. In Saxony, the conflict his already commenced, and the first struggle was long and bitter. At Lclpsio, Breslau, and Coablentz Insurrections have taken place. In Oatiocio, the spirit of revolution is at a work; and in Italy,three armies are striving to quench the flame that lias dethroned a sacerdotal tyrant, und given to this classic land civil and religious liberty. It is a sad sight, to ice (he eternal city—the city of the seven hills, once the proud capital of the Ro. man world, threatened by despotic and republican powers united for (he suppression of her liberties— llborllci that hate been smothered for many hundred years, and just now newly ocquired. .

AViih all bet faults and her crimes, the classic times of the ancient Republic and Empire involunta ry draw our sympathies and affections around Rome, end these united with the holy cause she is struggling to maintain—the cause of human rights and human liberty, make us pray for her success. What a fearful gap in the world of curiosities and wonders, would be left to the traveller, and., antiquarian. If this ancient scat of learning, refinement and power was blotted from existence; and reduced to a smouldering heap of ruins. History would weep over her ashes*' But what is to . bo (he future of Europe?, whore tho contending elements ore bo various* and Ihoob* jeets so different, none bullhebmnscieoteyecan tell. We may hops for. (ho holiest cause, and the triumph' of liberty, bat wo must fear that .the power of evil may overcome the good.. If wo saw mankind and nations consistent, we might have dbta on which to build some conjectures. But wlion we see France—-Rej übilcan France—whom we have, just .ceased to congrallute with cheers and rejoicing, on' I the dethronement of her tyrant and the. attainment of her freedom—when we see France uniting with despotism in crushing the effort of.a sister people struggling for-the same glorious object, that has cast a halo around her own brow—when we see Aer fight ing against the principles of her own constitution and maxims of government, and endeavoring .to res* tore monarchy over a people that have Just thrown off the yoke that was galling their necks and break, ing them to the ground—when wo see all this, on what are we to base any calculation 7 Where can we find.the key to the future 7 .If we surmise on in* consistency of conduct, and reoroan cylo the prinei* pics and love of free Institutions, our forebodings and conclusions must bo that evil will epme. For Rome, then, we see but little hope. With France, Austria and Sicily combined, slie can hurdfy resist, and must again sink under a sceptre lliolscorg cs both the soul and the body. Bat as.sho droops again, into the darkness of despotism, In her expiring agonies she will.cry out' against the-, treachery of France, and tha encouragement she .gave to follow her example. Bat far Franco hcrsolf, evil also op* pears to be boding. Treachery, to principle and hy* pocrisy in profession cannot long prosper—and both these crimes hang brooding over her.. A mass of conflicting elements and designs in her government and rulers, also threaten her prosperity* It is 100 evident, that with a republican enthusiasm in the people and many of the representatives, the Presi. dent of the Republic is grasping at absolute author* ity, and has in (ho scope of his.ombitiun the sceptre of a king. When ho'sent the army to Italy fur the ostensible purpose of preventing Austria and Sicily from imposing on a young Republic, his real object was to assist those powers in establishing a sneer* dotal tyrant, with all the forms of monarchy., While (ho National Assembly passed a rcsololion directing that tho expedition bo not directed frpjn the avowed object, the President changed It into a suppression of the Roman liberties, and a restoration of tho Pope. While, also, ho writes to Oudinolaflcr (he defeat, in* stead of using tho name and authority of the govern* mcnl, he cxcito the jealousy of the people by speak* ing as If all power was vested in himself. 'Ho speaks as Napoleon spoke when Emperor: “/will not suffer bur military honor to bo impugned ;”** lull the sol diers I appreciate their bravery," and thus through, out tho epistle. On the other liand'we.seo the mom* bera of a disc onlcntcd. assembly.''.denouncing the interference in Italy, and declaringlh«l“lho French government respects futeign naiiomililt*,"'and. that “it is contrary to their constitution.* 1 Wo discover a dissatisfied ultra republican people, looking forward to the approaching election f and wo are told of a cisgusted army, in sentiment the same as the citizens, showing olroudy some evidences of mutiny and re bellion. What is to bo tho result pf all this? Franco appears to bo again trembling on her foundation*, and if a convulsion comes, either anarchy or despot ism is likely to follow. What fate is reserved for the rest of Europe is buried in (be deepest obscurity. Some hope to see the dead Poland galvanized, by the batteries that are struggling for freedom around her—and yet ns* ing with a ghastly grin over her oppressors, and wrenching with a superhuman effort her chains os* under. Some hope to see tho subterranean fires that .are rolling under tho llirono and palaces of Prussia belching forth and consuming her tyrants. Some hope to see Hungary, Croatia and Transylvania free, und her influence spreading into the heart of Austria, For ourself we lo ok upon most all these things as far of! possibilities, bulc xtravsgantly improbable. The despotisms of the north and west of Europe arc yet too powerful; ignorance and a long servility creates 100 heavy a weight, wo fear, over the young and just breathing spirit of liberty, to allow its continued ex* islonco and growth. Thera is danger that the Groat Bear of the north is alone sufficient, and with the powers of Austria and Prussia, will crush over; •park of vitality that burns in ils breast. But fur many places, and many nations there is hope, and (ho prayer of every American heart is for their sue* ccss. Fur Italy, for Italy In particular, with her sunny clime and classic assbsiations, every pulsation throbs In unison with her efforts, and for tho land lof Virgil and Cicero, thu citizens of a now world— tho world of. Columbus and Washington—loan over the billows of the Atlantic that break against her shores with an anxious sympathy, but a trembling and fearful heart,to hear the first far off happy shouts [ringing around her ancientdnpUoland forum. Read It—Read It!— We mesn the Idler of George Lippard, E»q., to General Taylor. It will bo found on our first page. Wo hope a.I our readers —Democrats and Whigs—will give it an attentive and careful purusal. It is from llio pon of a man who used his lime, talents and influence to secure TAVLoa*s election. Mr. Lippard is a Democrat, but he, like thousands of other Democrats in this State, voted for Gen. Taylor. Tho “ Taylor Democrats” of Pennsylvania believed the declarations pul forth by Taylor before the election. They considered him an honest man,and believed him when he assured them that ho was not a party man—that ho would not ho the President of a party, but of the people— that ho had no friends to reward, and no enemies to punish, &0., dee. They believed him honest tn those declarations, and they voted fur and elected him.— They now—after General Taylor Is in office—dis cover that they have been duped—cheated by (ho mnn In whom they placed confidence. They now discover that all tho professions by Taylor, were made to deceive. But, read tho letter on our first page, and recollect ills the pruduction ofa M Tuy« lor Democrat." 07 It is said that General Taylor is bdtliorod to understand why tho Slate Virginia should one week ■and him a splendid sword fur Itii conduct, and tho next week send fourteen members of Congress loop* poso his administration 7 —Exchagt papar,. . There is no mystery in this about which General Taylor need *' bother* 1 himself. Tho Virginians are a patriotic people, and Ihuy presented him a sword because of his bravery, and sent 14 members of Con. gress to oppose his administration, because of hu falsehoods. This was all right and proper.

Tho water in Bayou St. John is but throe inches lower than it was during the great inundation of!831. Groat fears are enter, lalned of (he Icvce breaking along (he canal. Escape of a Convict Wife in Her Husband’s At. tire.— A Mis. McAdams was a few weeks since con victed of the crime of murder before the circuit court of Madison county, Mississippi. Her husband was allowed to visit her in prison, frequently, and at last dressed her in a suit of his own clothes, by-means of which she effected a passage from the prison. She was traced as far as Vicksburg, where she took pas* sga in u steamboat, and from the lust accounts, had not been arrested. Yellow Scab.-A disease by this name, resemb ling somewhat the email pox and erysipelas, has been prevailing in Hancock county, Indiana, to consider, able extent. It is represented to be Contagious, though not very fatal. A Good Hint.— The annexed extract from the Harrisburg Keystone, commands the attention of every honest and adhering Democrat i “We perceive that in some of (he counties pieparatory steps are being taken toward (he formation of tickets, to bo voted at the coming election. As we have heretofore observed, and tried to enforce upon the attention of our readers, these, primary meetings are of the utmost impor tance. Without good candidates, honest and competent men, success is hardly desirable, for by the election of those who are not honest and competent, thepariy is only disgraced, and the public cheated. . And how can the people expect good candidates to be nominated withhul they move in time, before their action is forestalled by some intrigue and management t . The fact that the Federalists now have the governor, (hat there is consequently, no check on bad legislation, makes the selection of candi dates for the Senate and House of Representa tives, doubly important at this time. There were professing Democrats In the last Legislature, who were entirely unworthy of their position. They were a reproach to the party that elected them, and disgraced the position , they .occupied. It is* (o bo hoped that none such will be found in the next. CoL.

Benton, with tho manly stand he took for the Union, is carrying all before him, and that he will, beyond a doubt, be returned to the senate of U. States by the new legislature. Thd Calhoun move ment in Missouri was instigated by politicians here, end must hy no means, be looked upon as the spontaneous - expression of . the will of the people of Missouri. Col. Benton was not (tin. man to be thus entrapped by (ho wire-workern, or to. bring a great principle into the political slock market of his Stale. He will maintain his place, not only in the senate, but also iulhc Democratic parly. The whole South Oarlina movement, as it is called, la an abortion, and no more threatens the dissolution of (he Union than the effort to revive the fifteen gallon law in Massachusetts.'
