TUB ALLEGIIAiMAAS, This distinguished bund of singers, (who are from New York City,) will give one of their popular Con certs on Saturday evening next, Fob. IClh.-al Edu cation Hull. . As their name indicates, they are true American singers of Jhe right stamp, and, says the New Orleans Delta, “so long as American hearts are enraptured by the outgushinga of inimitable har mony, they will be admired and opprcchlcd."— Wherever the AUcghaniuns have sung, the press has lavished the highest encomiums upon them, while, as far as we can learn, they have won all hearts by Ute stability and urbanity of. their deportment, and bavstfi|pyii given tho most complete satisfaction to ; Ibslr patrons. They are not only musicians 'and vocalists of unsurpassed abilities, but ladies and gentlemen of high moral worth, and estimable members of society. Tho tendency of their musi cal if wo can rely upon what the Religious press has said of (hem, is to elevate, re fine,.and ennoble thoso who are brought within tbeir influence. We hope that Education Hull will be filled to Us utmost capacity on Saturday evening; let us give those distinguished strangers such a re ©option as their great excellencies merit. Now is tho lime for oar friends who live in (he country to get top parlies, come in to'the concert, and drink their fill of ** music's bewitching strains."

Our neighbor of the Herald* last week,'had a'good deal to say on the subject of what ho stylos “the new Cass doctrine," nnd thu voles of Messrs..,Church and Seouller,.'tin a certain resolution introduced by-Horno Ajax of abolitionism in our. State'Legislature. , Wo most certainly approve the voles of both those gen tlemen iih 'that question. Thu fallowing is .the resolution, width the Herald republishes, and appears greatly distressed, that our members should have opposed it: ; Resolved by the Senate and llouse oj Representa tives of the■ Commonwealth of Pennsylvania , in Ge neral Assembly met, That we deem it'our duty to n.iake known in (Ids solemn manner, our determina lion lo tipposo by all conslitullcnal raeans the exten sion of slavery over territory now free, and'our Sen ators in Congress are hereby instructed, and our Re presentatives aro requested lo.rcsist'all attempts to extend slavery over any part of such territory, how ever, small, and to oppose the admission of imy new Stales into the Union, unless slavery or involuntary servitude shall be forcyer.oxcludcd therefrom. Now t.ldfi- resolution would instruct oar-. Senators and request oiir lleprcscnUlHca not'dniy jto-resist afi attempts. to extend slavery over any part of our newly acquired territory, hut also “to oppose.the ad mission of any new States Into the Union ftnluss slavery or involuntary servitude shall bo forever excluded therefrom.’* . ' ‘, The Herald is much more ultra abolition in its reelings, from Its remarks, than wo had before suppo .sod. By endorsing, the above resolution, tho editor out garrisons “even Garrison &. .Co.” Suppose Cal ifornia //ad recognized slavery in her constitution, It must therefore by this resolution bo kept out of llio Union! Tho people of Californio, according to (ho doctrines promulgated by the editor of the. Herald* have no right to determine that question ofdomcslic policy for themselves-apd yet in another portion of his paper under the head of “Mr. Clay’s Compromise,!’ I he eulogises Gen. Taylor for »vh**t is bungllngly.l termed "non iiclion' 1 on the question of-slavery, by which California “has settled (his question horself'* md “New Mexico will' shortly pursue tho same [course.” Here the editor of tho Herald is blowing, 1 hot and cold with Ihe same breath. .Ho denounces Messrs. Scouller and Church for voting against a 1 resolution which denies tho right of a “new Slate' 1 * to 1 adopt what policy she pleases in reference to slavery, i and then in (he next column praises Gen. Taylor to Che skies for sending in a message In Congress which • leaves that question for the “new Stales” to settle ■ themselves, and which policy the Herald classically terms “non action,” and In which message it it clear* ly intimated by Geh. Taylor (hut he would w/o ihe \Mlmol Protito t should that measure pass Congress* OSfho administration has now assumed Gen. Cass’ ground on the slavery question, the ground which Jib maintained In his Nicholson letter, before the last Presidential canvass, when nobody could' (ell what were (he sentiments of General Taylor—the ground in fine of non-intervention—the same ground which he now manfully stands upon and defends like an able and veteran statesman—in fact the only true ground. But Ihe whimperer's who defended Gen. Taylor in his truckling course before the election, assail Gen. Cass for maintaining whal.it seems the Taylor administration now maintain themselves.— Well this Is consistent* the usual consistency of Fed eral polities and Federal politicians. Wo never advocated the Wilmot Proviso, but ad* hered to tho doctrines of Cass, Buchanan, and Dallas, on (he subject of slavery, as wo may, hereof* ter show from extracts from our paper before the list Presidential election, and before the nominations for the presidency, weremade. But the Herald and its parly cannot say as much. Gen. Taylor, when; a candidate for the Presidency,had a capital ofsloo,ooo invested in human flesh, and yet tlie^y^olitios ; Froe Sellers of tho North were whipped.lnto his support. And now the old gentleman, who says lie Is at peace with all (ho world “and the rest of mankind” will be so ungrateful to his northern supporters, as to veto the Wihhot Proviio, should it be engrafted on a ter ritorial bill. Mas the editor of Iho Herald read Mr. Clay's speech, delivered in tho’Sunale a few days since on the subject of slavery? If he has, he will ogreo with us that Mr. Clay occupies nearly the same ground as that occupied by Gen. Cass, namely, that uf non in tervention. Will the Herald—that gt/Ma percha shut-l which olwuys.allows itself to bo pulled into any shape that Us parly leaders require—will that sheet now come out and denounce Mr. Clay 7 It Iras assailed G«n. Cuss (from the force of habit wc presume) bc« cause he advocates the only (rue doctrine, (hut of non-intervention. Wo shall now see whether nur modest neighbor will disapprove of Mr. Clay's posl* tloh. The “non action” of Gen. Taylor the Ilernjd approves, but the non.jr.terpen/ion" of Gen. Cass (he Herald cpndcmni. Tlio difference Is the difference betwixt tweedledum and twecdledee. Gen. Taylor, his Cabinet, Mr.. Clay and Mr. Web stcr, all occupy tlio same ground, or nearly so, us that occupied by Gon. Cuss at (ho' time of his numb nation for the Presidency. Gen. Cuss was honest enough to avow his opinions when ho wus a candi date. Not so with Gun, Taylor, *" The people of llio territories arc able to manage thulr own ufTairs, and do not auk any Interference. Wh«t then in truth'-li.Gon. Taylor'spoidliqn now 7 | C'in our neighbor of Iho Herald after all Uiit.baoltlng , i and filling tell 7 'Plio President's nicstago to Con igrcaa on tin; imfijccl of slavery, is certainly nolycry (explicit, who assume to know Ilia ,views assure usjliht he ia in favor of non-intervention— Now, (hi* the position occupied by Gen. Casa? 1 (Jen. CjjM Inn taken hie stand boldly—he is in favor of California Into the Union with tho con. adopted by her citizens, ’ (le is opposed to! ,ihb Wil.nol Proviso, because, lie.believes it unconMl tutlonnl, and calculated to offence to tho South, without effecting any Gen. 'Taylor. is nl»o t opposed to the Wilmol iVoaiso, and our word fur It, should a bill containing tho Proviso pusß Congress, ho wilt veto it/ And all this would accord no doubt with the Herald’* idea'of "non ac> /id/*”—although It was formerly a'TQmpjjJpodvooato of Free Soil doctrines. A' word os to legislative instructions, Wo disapprove them unless they clear ly reflect public sentiment. Too often however (hey are got up by designing demagogues to commit the Statu to a policy which she is really liot in'favor of, ami fur the additional purpose of u little self glorifi cation, and'lb carry into eflbct some base and sel/uh politico] purpose. If wo look at (ho Instructions I given- by our State Legislature, years gone by to our Senators and l Representatives in Congress, we have cause to blush. How many wore passed in favor of u Nulluiml Danlt?' How many in favor of odious protective tariffs, &e 7 7’he movers and supporters of such instructions would now disown them, unless they hqvo themselves got over into the Federal ranks. In conclusion wo say wo uro /hrlhb Union, and would pour .oil on-Ihu troubled waters. The question lof slavery inight.oaiily.be settled, were it not for sectional agitation north and south. Wo hope it soon will be.

Tho legislature takes up the cudgels /or'this com pany, steps in between it and its creditors, and says Gentlemen, stand back, wo know wliftl is best for your interests, and we deem U proper add expedient that you should not collect your tins company for the period of twenty years—and thus destroy the very essence of a solemn contract enter ed into by the Company. This supplement to the act incorporating the Philadelphia and Reading Rail Road Company is more than,'a remedial ‘measure,'as is asserted by its friends; it effects the'consideration of tho contract Itself. It is a denial pf alt judicial prnccss for a stipulated period’ of time, without the consent of these bond holders, and in spile of their earnest remonstrance. In twenty years,'at the rale 'this company has been managing, all Us available means willjmost likely be squandered, nothing be left, except \vhat is sufficient lu satisfy the mortgages by which it is encumbered, and.thcn these bondholders* who ore now, prohibited from obtaining judgement, for the nice little period of twenty years, may whistle for their money. Wo say such legislation Is an out rage upon comraph'sense and comtrlon decency, to say nothing of the, Constitution of thc^iutc.
