Bigler, Mr. Bonham, ourself, and. olhera. Our Tory salute and faY~sightod neighbor eaya ho was wol! aware “ that il made no difference whether Gov. Bigler approved or vetoed- tho Carlisle - Bank- bjll—ln either case his servile.partisan? would fling up - their hats and about their approbation ofhis oauae.” Ah I IWo ere well aware that our neighbor ie "a very I smart young man,” who can boo things that no or. I (Unary man oan sec, but wo wore not euro until now, that he possessed a foroknowlcdgd. Wonderful piece ol humanity, truly, is tho editor of tho Herald. Now, supposo the Governor had signed tho batch - of bonk bill* that he returned to the Legislature, what course would our neighbor of the Herald have pursued towards him? Why, beyond question ho would have denounced the Governor and tho whole Democratic parly because of their inconsistency on the subject of banks. This would have been the Herald's course had tho Governor signed the eleven bills he vetoed. And ho is now denounced by the same honest paper because hq did veto these bills.— lodocd.our neighbor is too hard to please—he is like a fretful child—nothing will please him - —every thing he sees or hears only aggravates him more. Some, times a cross child is benefited by receiving a good “ spanking,” and. wo have half a notion to visit the same punishment on our neighbor. .The Herald thinks the Governor’s veto “ impliedly brands a scare or more of loco foco members of the Legislature os corrupt and mercenary swindlers, and fastens the same stigma on Cumberland county loco focot," dtc. Smart, that. Wo should like to know by whet kind of logio (ho editor arrived at that con* elusion. Our neighbor is strong in words,-but no one but himself can ace either sense or argumeolin hia sago conclusions. Wo repeat what wo said on a previous occasion, that “-Gov. Bigler performed a righteous duly when ho vetoed that batch of Bank bills.” Had ho foiled to perform this duty.wo should, for one, have full il incumbent on us to have brand ed him aa a traitor to his principles, and an enemy to the rights of the people. Wo arc not in the habit, ns every one who has watched our course can testify, of landing every act of Dcmocrala in power, as the : Herald falsely intimates. Where praise is deserved, we shall award it; when censure is required, wo shall administer it. This, as the Herald well knows, has always been our course. We do not, therefore, luud tho veto message merely because its author ia a Democrat, but wo approve of il because we consid er that in votoing that batch of Bank bills, the Governor performed a meritorious act —the proudest act of his life. REPEAL or TUB OTII SECTION. j In our paper two weeks since, wo published Iho j vote in the llouso of Representatives, upon the final passxgo of Iho bill repealing iho 6th section of the | law of 1847, which prohibits the use of the jails o( . Pennsylvania for tho safe keeping of fugitive slaves. By reference to tho vole,U will bo seen that 21 voted in tho negative—all Whigs, and the Whig represen tative from lliis county, Mr. Henderson, is one of them. Thus it will bo neon that Mr. Henderson sympathises with tho Abolitionists in their mad at tempts to destroy the constitution and to pul the Compromise measures at defiance. Tho Whigs, in their public meetings, have on several occasions en dorsed the Compromise measures, and profess great 1 veneration for the ConsliHition, but their act* show that they are not aincere, and are ready and willing to coalesce with tho abolitionists and assist them in their unholy schemes. Wo should like to know Iho position of the Whigs of Ibis county on this subject Ke should like to know whether (ho Whigs of Cumberland approve of Mr. Henderson’s course, in voting against the repeal of the Gil) section. Pot hops iho editor of the Herald can inform us. £IU. UONUAIUIS GREAT SPEECH. Mr. Bonham's able ami unanswerable speech on Extra, and send to our readers with 10-day’s paper. Wo bespeak for it an attentive perusal, lor, beyond question, 4 il is a most masterly and eloquent pro. The Harrisburg Keystone, in which pa pernio speech originally appeared, thus speaks ol Mn. Bonham’s Speech. —ln commending the speech of Mr. iionham, contained to this paper, to tho attention ol our readers, we do not apeak in the matter of course terras of praise that 100 frequently accompany the publication of speeches, irrespec tive of their Intrinsic merit: —but we wish to be understood with marked emphasis, in giving our earnest judgment, that a more interesting and con clusive speech against the paper money system has never been delivered and published in Penn sylvania. We know the subject is trite, and that readers arc apt to throw newspapers aside before perusing long articles upon n, appearing in any ’ form, —under the impression that nothing now can 1 bo said about banking, his to prevent any such impression from inducing such treatment of this speech, that we are unusually emphnlio in recom mopding it to general perusal and to preservation turibng things ttcasured on account of their peculiar value. Tho speech is long, but the subject Is multiform almost to infinity, and it interests every member of old and young, rich and poor. Tho views it contains are condensed; the leading topics uro alone taken up; history, facts and figures ore oppositely brought in to prove, and illustrate; and the conclusions showing the manifold evils inflict ed upon society by tho paper system are startling and irresistible. Let flits speech go abroad—let it be generally read and it cannot but tnakn a deep impression upon public sentiment—nay. if perus ed in a spirit of candor, oven by the devout wor shipper at the shrine of paper money, it would in duce him to review his opinions, and ten to one, to change them. It embraces ull the strongpoints in the entire argument against tho vicious paper system. Execution at Richmond for Piracy.— Tho extreme penalty of tho law was executed last Friday upon Reid and Clements, who were convicted some weeks since of murder on tho high son, and a short lima •Inco respited by tho President for two weeks. Tho execution took place In tho valley In the rear of the City Alins House and was witnessed by an immense crowd, and throw companies of military wore on the ground to preserve order. Gordon Hatcher, a slave, was also executed at tho sarao lime for killing an overseer. Reid died calm and colleolod, betraying no foor. Clements was much affected, and was with difficulty supported upon the scaffold. IuroRTANT Dicibion.— Judgo Buchanan, of tho fifUi district court of Now Orloanrtlately decided that inkeepors arc liable for stolen/rom strangers and travellers snjourrahg al their'inns.— Two broltiers named Sinim, whu had arrived from California, stopped at tho 'lndian Queen Hotel.— VVhllo they wore at dinner, their rooms and trunks w£ro opened and robbed of $5,325 in gold. Tho court gavo judgement for (ho plaintiffs against (ho inkcopor for the whole arrfbunt with interest and codls of suit. Tho Muscatlno (lowo) Journal lolls of a couplo of romantic looking fomaloa who wore, with their husbands, destined for Oregon. They,wore dross-, od in tho Bloomer stylo, or rather in tho for West Bloomor stylo. This dross consists of a pair of 1 pants mndo of oassinot, and looao sack coal, “oil buttoned down before,” with a standing collar, a pair of boots, gloves and a Kossuth hat, with a fox’s tall stuck iu it. ANUISREPIiESEJNTATION. Wo havo heretofore considered llio Netos a rather fair and yet a very decided political opponent. ; But that paper of late appears abllious to out-strip the'//cra/d of this place .in misrepre sentation and falsehood. The Mws of yesterday* after informing its readers lliat the anti-bank pro fessions of Democrats are hypocritical and dishon est, on to Say": - \ '‘For Instance, the Carlisle Vnlaniccr, while lauding Gov. Bigler for .thus/nobly carfylng. out tho true Democratic policy, 1 regrets exceedingly that tho little Carlisle Deposilo Bank could not havo been saved. Thus it is with all others." Now, wobppu ihe News will polnl out the para graph in our paper in which wo regretted ‘‘exceed ingly that the little Carlisle Deposits Dank could' not have been saved.” We never made use'of such language, and the editor of the Nexvt manui factored the falsehood from the whole cloth.' On the contrary, in our remarks on the veto message, wo decidedly approved of the Governor's course, and particularly did we slate that the friends of the Carlisle Deposito Bank had no right to expect (hat the Gdverqor could select it from the batch with which it had passed. The whole tenor of our article on lye subject ivas to convince the friends of the CarHsle Deposito Dank that the Go vernor but discharged his duty in vetoing iho whole batch. And yet, the Vetos, from its habit of falsi** Tying, would dare to sir that wo found fault with the Governor because h\did not sign the bill con- Taring-privileges on the (Carlisle Deposite Dank ! A very bold but not a very ingenious falsehood. The News also misrepresents the Democratic parly when it says that ‘-they (iho.Detnocrou)^ I to 5o utterty opposed 10 banks or banking shape or form.” Where dlf the for the News gel this The Demo cratic parly Is not opposed to banks any shape or form. 1, But we are opposed to \aving more banking capital than is necessary for tSe wants o( the business community,-and in favorV restrict ing banks, and compelling their to be made responsible for their debts, (tar years the question of making stockholders of banks re sponsible for the debts of their respective institu tions, was an issue between the two political par ties of this Slate—the Democrats favoring and the Federalists opposing the measure. Out the Dc -1 mocrals, determined as they wore, to protect the people from robbery and peculation, succeeded at last in engrafting this wholesome reform upon our banking system. The Federalists, alwaysonxious to favor those who make their living by defraud ing the people,threatened and squirmed for n lime because of the adoption of this reform, but limy soon found that they coulu not frighten ho.. ca . Frank Shunk, who wao as impregnable to Feder al assault as was tire great Jackson. Gov. Dto lkr, the man of the people,and and who understands and can appreciate their wanls ami wishes, is equally sound on the subject of tables and banking, am! no ba-nk-.bill will ever receive his signature (whether the bank is n<*eded or not.) unless the individual liability clause Is embraced in Its provisions. This, then, is the po sliion of the Democrats on the subject of banks and banking—wo ore not opposed to all banks, but wo are opposed to having too many—wo are opposed to having more hanks than is absolutely necessary, and we are in favor of compelling those we have to act honestly, ar.d this is the policy the Federalists oppose. A Breach or Promise Case.— A cook in Liverpool sued a butcher's boy for n breach of promise of mar riage. The counsel for the defendant contended that (hero hod been nothing but a little harmless flirtation <md all that the plaintiff had lost was her butcher's boy. (Laughter.) Ho then referred to the puelic.il plaintiff could nol read, she could notl»u been very | much affected by them, and the learned Conusel caused a roar of laugh in the court, by referring to some of the letters. In one of thorn the defendant, after talking of “foaming seas," of “loving hearts," and such matters,concludes by staling ns a postscript —ln haste, as I am going to kill.” Melancholy Death.—We learn from the Read ing Journal, that on the 22d ult., the boJy of Mr. John Close, aged about 70 years, who lived wuh his son in Exeter township, was found \n a pond at the corner of a field about 200 yards from the house, where the water was not moref than 18 inches deep. The previous afternoon, Itp was en gaged In planting willows on the margin of the pond, into which it is supposed ho fell iead fore most, and was unable to extrioalo himself, on ac count of the infirmities of age. He appe.rcd to have expired without n struggle. Tub Magazines.—Godoy fur May conlair* 120 pages of Idler press, contributed by the ableti* of our magazine writers. The illustrations are “/amnry and Moy,” and “ May Day among the Juveniles," two very superior engravings, and a Urge number of pictorial designs executed on wood. Graham for this month is also n double number, and contains articles by H. W. Herbert, G. P. R- James, Horace Greeley, Mrs. D. Oakes Smith, and oilier distinguished writers. The principal ombul. liehmcnt is llio “ Duhomion May Queen " Sarlln is up to his contemporaries in the literary character and the artistic excellence of (ho May number. “The Forgotten Strain" and “Corsair’s Bride” are both fine pictures. CC~y An outrageous act occurred in Now York on Thursday week, where a boy, 7 years old, died from llio iQuota of brandy, administered by a man nu mod > Kennedy, who is said to have boon at variance with his parents. Kennedy induced llio unsuspecting boy to which ho refused to do at first, but was finally persuaded, and thd dose was repeat od till ho became insensible, when Kennedy look him homo to his mother and told her what bad been dona.

A Higher Office than President I The Northern Whigs have told us,says tho Read ing Gazette, that there is "a higher Inw thon the Constitution,” and now the Southern Whigs 101 l us— through Ex-Governor Jones, of Tennessee—that there is an o(Rco “high obovo that of President.* 1 This seems perfectly natural—if there Is a higher luw, it should have its executioner. That office Ex- Governor Jones claims, contrary to tho gencrol im pression that lie only aspires to the Vice Presidency. Here is an extract Horn the report of hie recent speech at New York, on the last onniversary of IJsn ov Or st’s birthday : •• He said here what lie said in the South ; nnd ho wished it to bo known in every portion nfiho Union, that, he had a scorn, ineffable, withering and eternal, for those miserable demagogues, North and South, who seek to foist themselves into power upon scc lionahuce. If ho iiad the power ho would damn them (poli I ically) so low., ilia I the thunder of the last resurrection could not rouse them. He would hang, if he hod Uie power, every man opposed to this Union hnng (hem as high as Homan. The office ho would seek would be high above tint of President— llml of linngmm losuch traitors.'' Bravo, Guv. Junes ! You oro just the man for the crisis, and wo would must cordially give you a lift to Iho office you seek. But huvo you duly estimfttod its responsibilities —counted the cost of thus playing hangman 7 Has it occurred In you llml the first victims to bo “ \\ orkc(t<|ff ” will be found in your own household 7 Seward, Wm.

Junes 7 1 W ilhont a p i r ly, almost i and, the “ traitors " all step or two beyond the mark you aimed at. If you arc discreet, yon will dismiss your aspirations In |hrf “ higher office,” of hangman to Iho subjects of the higher low," save " lhe pir ly ' ‘ from dcstrucliun —and make yourself Vice President—perhtps.

Governor Bigler recently sent a message to the Legislature, recommending the appropriation of money for the relief of the overland immigrants. Tim Mexican Boundary Commissioners left San Francisco in the Gulden Gate, the Plains by way of the and Kio Granofe, for the purpose, of completing the survey. The late floods have left a rich harvest for the miners. Immigration from the cities to the mines had commenced, including largo parties of Chi nese. At Vnllecita, recently, a party turned up a lump of nearly pure gold, weighing twenty-six pounds. Al Sonora, iho earth, since the flood, yields three hundred per cent. more abundant by than ever. Advices from all iho mining districts are extreme ly encouraging. A war of extormi nation has been declared against the Indians by ttie whiles ot Klamath. A pany of settlers and miners surrounded two lodges,- re-' cently, al Indian ferry, shut the men and several squaws, and destroyed the ranch. From thirty to forty Indians were killed.
