The U. S. Senate has requested the President
to have the charges against Gov. Ramsey, of Min.
neaola, investigated. Ho is accused of fraud and
misconduct Jn his dealings with the Indians, io
his capacity os Superintendent of Indian Affairs,
for that Territory. Gov. Ramsey is n Pennsyl
vanian, having formerly resided in Harrisburg,
where he boro an excellent character. Wo hope,
for the honor of our State, that ho may bo able to
clear op and refute the charges of Galphlnism
which have boon brought against him.
We regret to observe that some of the leading
papers of Iho party in New York, appear diepoeed
to revive angry discussions upon questions of Stale
policy, which hove for years past distracted the
party in that lowering democratic Commonwealth.
We had hoped that all family grounds had been
settled by the glorious victory they achieved last

New Yobk Legislature in an Uproar.— • The
Legislature of New York having adjourned a few
days ago, without having made tho appropriations
necessary to tbo exponses-of tho Government, Gov
ernor Seymour convened a special session. On
tho ro-asßsmbling of tho members, n warm debate
ensued upon the propriety of tho Governor's call
of an extra, session, and one of the members hav
ing signified his determination to onfordb a pro
test with physical force, ho was taken fin custody
by (he Sorgoant-al.Arras, but was subsequently
released when he had got cooler, and more reason*
able. The members, it seems, aro anxious to got

usually do, the forepart of (bo session, they find
themselves over head and ears in business at tho

Another Victim.— Tho Harrisburg Union of
Wednesday week, Bays: Wo learn that Mr-
Christian Snavoly, a very worthy and industrious
citizen of this borough) has become insane on the
ridiculous and absurd subject of Spiritual Hop

from this vilo and sacrilegious practice in our
borough) and has caused considerable sensation
among our people. Ho has beon conveyed to tho
Pennsylvania Lunatic AeyJum, ami is now a rav

prove a salutary warning to all who have made a
practice of attending spirit rapping mootings, and
giving countenance to this base and wicked sys
tem of Imposition.

THE ONWARD MARCH OF DEMOCRACY.
The cause of Democracy is onward, and upon
the wings of every successive day oome the glad
notes of, triumph. Our recent splendid,, vioiprioo
in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and.other Estates,’is
bat another evidence .of flip, purity .of oor cause,
and shows most emphatically and conclusively*
that (he people ore fast joining us, and those who
have heretofore been, blinded by the cobwebs of
Federalism, have-discovered their, error and for
saken the party with which they have heretofore
been identified. Time it is with every good and
noble cause. It mayte smothered for a season,
but it will rise again in tho majesty of its strength,
and oppear more beautiful than ever.
11 Troth, crushed to aartli will rise again
, Tbe eternal years of God are han; '
Uut error, wounded, writhes in pain,
And dies amid lior wonhippen.”
The Democracy of this Union were defeated in
1948, by corrupt and base means. The Federal
ists represented their military hero candidate as
“a no-party man,” who had no friends to reward,
no enemies to. punish, ■ Gen - , Taylor himself .do-.
clared that he was “ a Whig, but nolan ultra one,”
thus throwing out a hint to Democrats of easy
political virtue, that they hail nothing to fear from
him in his Executive capacity. Thus the people
were deceived, and the Federalists made the weU
kin,ring with their shouts of triumph. But, mark
the change I Scarce had the shoots of “victory”
from the Federal ramparts died upon the ear, when
the people, by the aid of a “second thought,” dis
covering their error, rose in their might,and hurled
the Federalists from their ill-gotten power, at the
first election after our inglorious defeat! Stale
followed State in rescuing the Democratic party,
and in replacing it in its former proud position,
until scarcely a remnant of the Federal parly was
loft. Gen. Scott, with all his military renown,
could not save his sinking party from the doom
that awaited it. It has been swept, as it were,
from the face of the earth !
A word to our D*emqcratio friends. Let not our
many victories have tho effect of causing them to
sleep on theia posts. Our enemy is a designing
and unprincipled one, and would stoop to any de
vice for the purpose of accomplishing the downfall
of democracy. Bo wide awake then, Democrats;
remember, “eternal vigilance is the prico'of liber
ty.” Be always ready, and watch with an eagle
eye the current of events. We will, if we but do
our duty, gain another glorious victory in this
Stale in October—we ere bound, in the nature of
things, to prosper, for our cause is the cause of
the people—if we be but faithful to ourselves and
our common country. The principles of Federal
ism, as practiced by tho parly calling itself Whig,
requires only to be seen and practiced, to insure
t. ino uviiuomnaiion or an intelligent people.
“ Vice is n moosler of such frightful mien,
At to bo tutted, needs but to ho sron."
The Late Election.
We said a year ago that the nomination of Gen.
Scott woold extinguish the Whig parly forever,
and we now find that the last Slates which have
elected members of tho new Congress, have elect
ed Democratic delegations entire. They are Cal*
ifornia, Now Hampshire, South Carolina, Con
necticut, and Rode Island. The whole number
of members thus far elected to the 33d Congress
is 163, of whom 105 are Democrats, 50 Whigs,
and 3 Abolitionists. The number yet to bo elect
ed are 77. If they should bo of the same politics
as In tho last Congress, the whole number of
Whigs in the House will be 77, Abolitionists 3,
Democrats 154. Total2Bl. Democrats to Whigs

DisTinauifliißo Visitors.— Tho Governor and Leg
islature of Maryland, with tho Mayor and Councils
of Baltimore, paid a visit to Harrisburg, on Saturday
last, on Invitation of our Stole Legislature. They
woro rcooivod by Governor Diglor and both branches
of tho Legislature, and their visit was highly pleas*
ant and agreeable all round.
It is a little singular, says tho Portland Adver
tiser, that of five of tho Presidential candidates—
one, Webster, is dead ; another, and tho success
ful candidate, lost his little boy, soon after his
election, by a most distressing Occident, and his
own and wife’s lives were saved almost miracu
lously; while the third, fourth and fifth, viz:
Fillmore, Casa and Douglas, have each had to
mourn tho loss of their wives since tho canvass.—
Surely, death strikes in high places.

A BLOOD-STAINED MONSTER, I
Recent developments (end lo fasten the mgrdcr of:
Joseph Rink, wbo was fatally Blabbed in h|s store I
in Philadelphia, some three months ainefc, upon
Arthur Spring, now convicted of tbc mnrdor'of Mrs.,
Lynch and Mrs. Shaw. An old umbrella fqundj in
Rlok’a Bloro, is identified by Mr. Ragan, Spring’s
brother in law, with whom ho boarded, as one ho
loaned to Spring about that lime, and had nil seen
since. Mr. Ragan also recollects that Spring wok
out that afternoon, at the lime the murder was com*
milled. irtS'***'
In addition lo the above, it is asserted Ilia I cir
«ttn»i*nces have come in ligiil which rcndcr'h prib
able (hat Spring was alio the murderer of William
Hope, a Kingscßsing truckman, who, some ten years
ago, was found near his own gate, dreadfully mangl
cd with an axe. Spring and he h&d been wifra
friends, and the former bad often borrowed sn\a)l
sums of money from him. Spring was at his house
the afternoon before the murder. Hope was thought
lo bo rich, and it is supposed that he was the man
who he confessed tohia son ho- had murdered for
$70,000, which ho expected lo obtain, but got noth

Our California papers are largely occupied with
accounts of a celebrated robber»chief named Joa
quin. Ho is said lo command a bold and reckless
band of villains, who have committed many enor
mities. He is represented to be thirty five years
of oge, is a Mexican by birth,' and although o re
sident of California, he has a regular chain of as
socwss..a\.te!W...... due,
disguised as a friar—he has been arrested several
times, but through the oxpertness, and influence
he wielded among the soldiery, he has been dis
charged. He is about six feet in height, and of
immense muscular strength; is well versed in thei
use of arms, and in disposition cruel and sanguin 1
ary. Mu has a dark sallow complexion, and dur
ing the Mexican war was known to wear a coat of,
armor. Ho lias committed numberless murders, 1
has burned many ranches, and has resided in Kan 1
Francisco. He has frequently obtained informa
tion <>f Mexicans leaving California with money,
who have been 3ogond and robbed by detached
portions of his band. In some instance's they have
been robbed on their arrival at Mexico—the nows
of 1111- ir departure, and the money (hoy had about
them, have been forwarded by means of the asso

Thrilling Account of a late Accident on Use
Baltimore and Ohio R, n,
The person who penned iho following is a citi
zen of Louisville, and is now in Baltimore, badly
bruised and eore, but is in no danger:
“As near as I can recollect, says he, We were
trowelling quite slowly on n short curve when4ho
road gave way, throwiug two passenger cars off
the track, down a precipice of one hundred feel.
I was asleep when wo first got off tho track, in
the first seat of tho second car—Mr. H., of Walk

o(T, had 1 known how bod a fix we wore in'; but
believing it safer to remain, on second thought, I
did so. (The track was only tO 1-2 feet wide, as
measured after the Tho cars immedi
ately fell over the precipice/ 1 thought of God,
mother and death. The first jump about twenty
feel, my hot saved mo; (ho second I faintly re
member seeing women tearing their hair, and chil
dren screaming. The third, fourth, and Inst Jump,
1 know nothing about, only (hat I fell on my head
and saw a thousand pieces of timber and iron-fly
ing In tho air, and then fainted.. When I opened
my oyos, Mr. T., who was lucky enough to have,
been in one of the cars (hat remained on the track 1
was at my side—my head was bleeding profuse
ly ; with that exception 1 fell perfectly well ; not
fooling then what 1 Buffer now. Such a sight as
1 beheld 1 would not look at again for all the
world ; mutilated bodies, some mashed (o atoms
lying under tho wheels—fifty or sixty men and
women, their faces covered with blood, running as
wild os demons—mothers with bloody hands and
faces, kissing the bodies of (heir dead or crippled
children—one .woman with her dross torn off,
screaming find trying to lift off iho stone that had !
crushed her husband—H., a merchant el Balii

You will find in the Union, some' publication* of

“lighthouse frauds," and tho embezzling of the pub
