WEST POINT ACADEMY.. .
We call attention to another chapter of Colonel
Behtbn’e history, to be found on our first page, re-1
fating to the West Point Military Academy, Which
shows the anli-repablicanand aristocratic features
of the institution. in a striking point b-f t view. ' It
ehows also (he reason why so few native born ci
tizens enlist in the and why thd ranks are
filled with foreigners wbp have but recently arriv-
ed on our shores. These men make good soldiers,
but they frequently enlist from wanl of other em
ployment, and the aspiring youths on the “Gram
pion Hills** finding no ohanco of promotion, aro
discouraged from making the calling of a soldier
their own. There can bo no doubt, ihal the or-
ganization of this Academy and the practice of the
government are anti-republican opd hostile to the
rights of the people. This practice has deprived
the Senate, as a co-ordinate branch of. the govern-'
ment, of its legitimate influence, creates on exclu
sive and favorite class instead of a national
army, so far as the officers are concerned,* and
prevents merit and military talent from rising above
tbe rank or & private soldier. We have known
many instances of long services and bra Very of the
bigh&t character, connected with great intelligence
and worth, strive in vain for promotion) because
the possessore of these high qualifications had not
passed through the doors of this aristocratic Insti
tution. Under this stale of facts, scarcely any
man of education or character, will enter the ser
vice as a private or non-commissioned officer.—
Much inducement to an hpnorablo discharge of
duty is gone, and it leaves (he rank and file of the
eervice'witbout an active and stirring motive to
exertion, causes desertion, and is calculated, and
will certainly in the end, lower the national tone
of the army, and render it spiritless and inefficient. 1
The practice even of the English government
seems preferable to our own, as merit there stands
some chance of being rewarded. And how inspir
ing was the declaration of the French Generals du
ring the revolution, and to what deeds of valor
and heroism did it raise the French Republican
armies, when they said to the young conscripts,
“my children there are some captains among you,
and the first campaign will show who they are,
and they shall have their places/*
Napoleon also knowyrell the power of this kind
of encouragement, and the most distinguished of
his marshals were, with that Instinctive discrimi
nation, which ever marked his character, taken
from the ranks. y
We know Sergeants in our own army, who are
intelligent worthy men, who have fought through
the Florida and Mexican wars, endured all kinds
of hardships and privations, and who have in vain
asked for a Lieutenancy, because all the avenues
.0 promotion were choked up by the gilded inei-
perlenced butter-flies, just fresh from West Point
who had never seeoadays service,and who would
perhaps resign and give their places to others, on
the first whim or caprice, no more experienced or
deserving than themselves, after the government
had educated them at her own espenee. We know I
there are honorable exceptions, men who have
served well their country and who have the good
of the service at heart. We quarrel not with those
who graduated at Weal Point, but with the sys
tern itself. We know men who are non commis
sioned officers, performed the duties of Lieutenants
at important battles and for days afterwards, who]
were neve? even noticed in the official reports.—'
This 4» all wrong, and as public attention is now
directed to it by Col. Benton’s strictures, it is to
be hoped fHafsomething may be done to remedy
the evil. It would be a healthful reform, and one
that would meet the approbation of the people at
largo. ___________________

Ilcnrl Bcbnmachcr'i Concert.
Were wo to 101 l any stranger, that wo have, rcsid
ing here, in Carlisle, the most magnificent violinist
jo the United Stoics, he would probably have a good
laugh at our expense ; buf, novofl.holcfs, strange as
it may seem, it »a positively and decidedly ihd r “ c, »
as all must agree who attended the concert a few
evenings ago at Marian Hall. Mr. Schumacukb, (he
performer to whom we allude, was born in the city
of Moscow, and for the last two year* ha* been hv
ing in our town; bo Is probably tho only Haitian
artist in Ibis country, and young as ho is, possesses
all the groat merit wo claim for him. Tho concert
night was a very favorable one, being cool and dry,
■0 that the GuarQcriua violin had every chance poa
aiblo ; and truly it moat itself have boon delighted,
not only with the glorious lonca It produced tinder
the magic bow of the player, but also with the thril-
ling effect those tones produced upon tho audience.
It would be very hard to say what Henri Scno
uaciieb can do best on Ink''lnstrument, for ho has
completely conquered every difficulty and made him
self a perfect matter. Wo were most particularly
•truck with hi* tremendous staccato, and astonish
ing power in double harmonic passages, which, when
taken so fast, are really almost impassible. It Is,
however, the deep passionate feeling and aoul with
which he plays, that ao carries away the hearts of
bis audience, and establishes such a sympathy be
tween himself and thorn; and it is the possession of
this quality, in auch a auperomloenl degree, that will
raise him to that high position ns an artist, which
we venture now to predict for him. Wo understand
that ho leave* us later in the fall to perform at some
of the great concert* In,.our eastern cities, never
having, a* yet, played in public, except in Carlisle.
Whoever manages to secure his services will bo for

v “ONE-IDEA MEN’’'AGAIN.
We baVo several limes alluded, says the P«nnsj/I*
oanio, (6 llio men, among whom wo find
tftoso who arc governed by selfish and impure mo
lives in theiri pretended adherence to parly. We
may them Under two distinct heads, both
of Which claim a passing notieoat our hands.
Tbo first are those who adhero to only so
long as their private and selfish aims oan'bo accom*
plisbed. That those alms are generally supremely
ae\fUh need not bo proved. They are ‘hangers-on,’
not oQI and generous motives of patriotism
and love of country, bat In ,viow of eomo ultimate
advantage—some near or. remote gain, which they i
expect to realize. It will bo found, 100, that such
persons are boisterous and violent partisans*
who oflen prove a discredit to. the honest body ofibo
parly, by their, uncontrolled denunciations and in
tolerable political .bigotry; They aro generally bold,
daring and boisterous, both in Ibeir professions of
attachment to the parly and its leaders, and their
opposition to the odVcfaii.party and fts supporters.—
To hoar them, you would suppose that they were
tho only persons who either understood our govorn
ment or bad tho ability to support and maintain it-
Bat none aro more easily subject to change, none «o
Coon find themselves id have been wrong, and none
so soon begia-to abuse and villify tbo very party snd
persons whom they had almost deified before. Bo*
cent instances have shown (bat so soon as they ore
disappointed in their expectations, they (urn a com
plete somerset end donpunoo their own former courts-
Their aim bad been some-office (hat offered a good
salary, for which they apply,tliough often entirely
unqualified for it. They do not consider that oftsr
men aro tho proper judges, who bavo a much belief

do they over reflect (bat otbetmoro consistent, worth;
and efficient men, who bavo long and honorably bos
Vincd the parly—sustained it on true and honotl
principle—aro bolter fitted Ilian they, and more do-,
serving. But no sooner do they flod themselves die* I
appointed, than their selfishness is fully and grossly
displayed. Now they would disturb Ibo government, |
and bring everything into a stale of onarchy and
ruin, simply because Iholr private ends wore no 1
realized. Such men, however, aro soon kooTfm—
They are a disgrace to eny parly, and wbatis.some
what singular, they are nothing—do nothing—avail
nothing —and politically (pme to nothing.
The other chiss are those whoso narrow end con-
can lake hold of bul one single idea, j 1
and this one idea is sufficient lo engross all their J
energies. Some fall upon Abolitionism, some upon j (
Nativism, end latterly others have taken hold of the |
subject of Temperance. We warn friends,
prospectively and in advance, against a specious and j
to somo extent popular cant which has already j
become the hobby of political quackery. The attempt
will be made, under the spocions pretext of Temper
anco, lo enlist ministers of the gospel, the pious
portion of the community and the friends of public
order and sobriety, whilst at the same time the wire*
workers and leaders have another object In view,
which they at present keep concealed. They hope lo
avail themselves of the current of popular feeling, all
(be while governed by an under current, wlilqh they
take care to conceal from the people. They think
(hat popular sentiment, being enlisted in favor of
Temp6aneo, can be made available for these pur
poses, and therefore they make great pretension* to
Temperance, make a long face about llitf evils of
intemperance, and hope by there hypocritical
whining to enlist the moral pari of the community
in their favor-—whilst, all the while lliay have quite
i diSerenl end lo view,.<lhoir uwu advancement?
interest or power. ' ' z'
Now, wo hesitate not to assort that wo aro as
sincere friends of Uio cause of Temper&dco as the

But wo tell them beforehand Uial they will ho dis

One word lo the friends of Temperance. If you

EXPLANATORY LETTERS,
Wo publish tho following letters with pleasure,
because wo dcsiro to extend oven handod-jusllco Ap
all men. By Mr. Bren's note U will bo seen that
ho admits that Mr. Moser never authorized him to
use his name lo tho Prohibitory Convention, and ho
admits also that Mr. MoseiC never pledged himself
to vole for tbo Maine Lawi in tho event of his olcc
(ion lolbo Legislature, Tho protended report of tbo
proceedings of tho Prohibitory Convention, therefore,
as published In lho--H£ra?d two weeks since, was a
garbled and false report, and was got ap, wo doubt
not, for (ho express purpose of doing an injury (o
Mr. Moser.
Wo wish it dosticotly understood also that in our
remarks in lost week’s pripor we intended to offer
no offence & men who aro honestly engaged in ad
vacating the Temperance cause. Wo prefer to syra -
palhiso with, Ihom,providid always, (as our law
makers sometimes say,) they act honestly, and make
no attempt to disorganize the Democratic party. —
We oppose those who oppose the Democratic ticket,
wo care not what pretext they may attempt to make
In defence of their coarse. Wo have always depro
cated disorganization in the Democratic ranks, and
as long as wo wield a pen wo shall pursue the same
course, regardless alike of the frowns of-oilher open
or secret political foes. Wo have scon too much
of Federal trickery to bo caught in any of their

Lot no device, no trick, scduco a Democrat to vote
for that bitter Federalist, Alexander Cathcart.—
tie is unpopular oven with his own parly because of
his bitterness and intolerance as a parly man ! And
yet tho Federalists hopo to clod this man, by the
| old of Democratic votes. But our Whig friends
' have counted without their host, for wo feet satisfied
! no ono worthy the name of a Democrat will vote for
| any such man. But to jjio loiters below.
Mit. Eniron A proper regard Tor my own char
odor, oa o truthful man, requires that I should solicit
the uso’of your columns for Iho purpose of making ft
plain statement of what I said, in the matlof of pro.
scnling H. G. Moser, Esq., os a suitable candidate
foi the suffrages of the friends of a Prohibitory Li
quor Law, os well ob to correct the erroneous stale,
moots that hove been mode on the subject. |
By the editorial article preceding Mr. Moser’s
card, published in the American Volunteer of the Ist I
insl., 1 am made to siy, that Mr. Moser bad “un i
hesitatingly declared himself in fovor ofn prohibitory 1
law, and was ready to support i I in the event of his 1
election.” I used no each language. What Kdld I
say, was, that ilfr. Mottr aatin/ied mewith disposition ;
at a prohibitory law man, and that 2 would vouch for ,
Ais carrying out the meattire. The denial of the
Editor is therefore perfectly gratuitous, and has
nothing to do with the troth of the question.
Mr. Moser, in his card, stales that his “name as
used by the Prohibitory Liquor Low Convention was
[unauthorized by him, and without his knowledge or
consent.” How far this declaration is to be rohdd
upon, lot tho following facts decide : I had several
convcranlion. with Mr. Mosor on th« .übjocl or a
prohibitory liqaor law. Tho Aral ono wa. on llio
day of Iho mcoling of tho Domooralio County Con
vention. Ho than told me, aAor hi. no.ninalion
announced, ho wa. in favor of a law, aooh aa Stephen
Millar wee then advocating in Perry county; which
waa alow* prohibiting tho oalo of ardent .pirita, aa a
beverage; to bo eubmiUod to a volo of Iho people,
for ibeir eanolion or rejeolion, ond that ha could 00l
see how any Democrat could consistently oppose
such-a law. i t |, cn (old him that It wns the inten
lion of the temperance men to nominate candidates
' for their sopporl, out of the nominees of both politic,
al parties, if men favorable to their views could bo
selected, and that I might be of service to him i with
.-aiaUb bo teemed to bo quite pleased. Afterwards,
on the week proceeding ilio meeting of the Prohib
itory Liquor Law Convention, 1 wee appointed
one of a committee to interrogate Mr. Moser
relative to hie views upon (he subject of prohibition.
Accordingly, I addressed him a letter,slating (hero
in the authority upon which I wrote, and my object
in writing. To this letter I received no answer ;
but on the morning of the Prohibitory Law Conven
tion, I met Mr. Moser in Carlisle, and had an in
terview with him. Ho acknowledged (ho receipt of|
my letter, which ho said was not far wrong, except
in requiring a written pledge from him, which ho
was advised not to give, least his action ot> Iho sub*
1 jeel might bo trammelled, and thus prevent him from
doing the best for the cjuso; assuring mo al tho
same time, that liis opinions remained tho same as
ho had heretofore expressed. I slated to him my
, satisfaction with bis views and position, and said I
would report to tho Convention, and do the best 1
could for him. \Vo thep parted.
From the foregoing statement, tho public will
judge, whether Mr. Moser's name was used without
his knowledge or consent. True it is, that I was
not formally authorized by Mr. Moser to submit his
name for nomination by the temperance men, but ho
knew that U was my intention to do so, and that my
objeckin conversing with him on the subject, was
to ascertain his sentiments, for the express purpose
of laying them boforotho Convention, which fuel I
communicated to him, ond in which ho silently ac
qaicsccd. Mr. Moser, never at any time, intimated I
to me a desire to withhold his name from tho Con-1
venlion, but on the contrary, I was satisfied from hi* |
whole conduct, that ho was onxious to secure (ho
support of the prohibitory liquor law men, and was i
looking to tho action of the Convention with deep I
. ---• In iIiSC" nv * nl ion I did not pretend to
interest. jn -J .... u u ,\
give any pledge as coming ff ora Mr. mohw * ,
simply slated that I was satisfied with his position '
and views, and (hat / would vouch /or his reliability, j
In the expression of this confidence It seems I erred,
and that 1 did not know my man as well as 1 imag
ined. In doing what I did,my motives wore pure'
and honest, and dictated rather, by my attachment
to tho Democratic party, than any desire to hinder
its triumph. JOHN lIYER.

wo did not, if wc could get such os wo wanted
among'the nominees of either political party, and
that ho was talked of as ono of tho candidates, and
that we wished to know the views of ail, before the

them, if elected, to advocate and vote for a Lam
prohibiting the solo of intoxicating liquors ns a bov3
erago in this Commonwealth, and that I thought’
that the whig* had paid particular attention to this
question in their nominations, that I believed their
candidates were bolts temperance men, at least Mr.
Catheart, 1 believed was a stringent temperance man.
Mr. Moser then remarked that ho was os good a
temperance man oa Mr. Catheart, although not as
ultra in his views on any question. Ho then told
mo that ho had received a letter on the subject from
a committee in Meohanicaburg. which letter ho
showed mo and then proceeded to tell mo how ho
intended answering the letter, by giving, as ho then
slated, his own views on (ho question, which views
ho had written down and road thorn to mo, tho sub*
stance of which was (his, that he was favorable to
the temperance movements, and would, if elected, go
for such measures as (ho temperance men might
want, and further stated (hat ho would not now send
the letter to Meohanleahurg, for the reason that he
thought by answering hero at Carlisle would be
sufficient for all purposes, and that he would see
some of the corotoltlcoand explain to (hem ; and on
my further remarking abqul tho different candidates,
lie said wo would gain nothing by taking any ono

THE FINANCES AND THE SINKING FUND.
Tho following paragraph is token from tho Inal
number of tho “ Whig Slate Journal of this placo t
• Governor Bigler camo into power, 6nd found tho
finances of the State in a heally condilion. Tho
sinking fund worked admirably, and paying off tho
Stale debt at the rate of seven hundred thousand dol
lar* per year. How Is it now 7 The dobl lias been
Increased over a million, and the Sinking' Fund of
course abandoned. Yet tho Treasury is constantly
empty in consequence of the immense sums drawn
by these men.'
li was a saying of the ancle..ls ‘that whom tho
Gods wish to destroy, they first mako mad.' Tho
editor of tho Journoi.il scomsMo as, must bo am
bitious to furnish, in his own career, on exemplifi
cation of this wise saying. lie certainly
adopt a more efficient mode of destroying his repute
lion for truth and honor, than by tho publication of
such reckless statements as the above. most
hardened of the Whig- parly will hang their, heads in
shame, on perusing this-'production. In our whole
editorial experience, which covers many a violent
partisan contest, wo do not remember to have' seen so
much senseless falsehood, in so few words, as is con-
These misrepresentations are the more roprohonsl
luincd in (ho above extract from the Journal.
bio, as tho truth, on every point, wdb within ■con
venicnl roach of this editor.- Ho could have learned
from tho proclamation issued by Governor Johnston
himself, m tho fall of 1651, and which, like Hubcn
eack’s handbills, were stuck up on the corners and
board fences in all parts of the Stale, that tho whole I
amount of the Slate bonds paid by tho sinking fund,
during his services us Governor, amounted to but
$659,122 GB. (low absurd it is then, to attempt to
mako the people bolievo that tho debt was being paid
off at the rate of $700,000 per annum. Ifour young
friend will examine tho records in the Auditor Gen
eral's office, ho will perceive that, during tho lime tho
sinking fund was paying off this $659,000 of five per
I coni, bonds, a new six per cent, loan was created, for
$400,000, reimbursable at tho end of-twenty five
I rears, and that this brings the actual reduction of
I ’ll.o debt down to $359,122 98. In addition to this,
ho can learn that on tho very day that Governor
Johnston retired, it had become absolutely necessary
to borrow $300,000 more, at six per cent., to pay the
interest then duo, and there was over $650,000 of
unpaid appropriations. So much for the 'healthy con*
dition* of (be finances.
This editor can also learn, from tho official docu
ments, that, during the year 1852, Gov. Bigler paid ;
off tho six per cent, bonds of the Stole that were then I
due by creating now ones at five per cent, and.
brought into tho sinking fund $134,000, in the shape
of premiums, besides saving over $20,000 annually,
by the reduction in the rale ofinlorcst. lie will llios
loom that, whilst Ihb Jjto odminislralion paid off five
per cent, bonds-by-creallng now ones at six percent.,
the present odminislralion has paid off six per ccnl.,
bonds by creating now ones at five per cent., and re
ceived a heavy prcmlam beside.
As for his unblushing assertion that ‘ the sinking
fund has been abandoned,’ every man in the com
munity, of ordinary Intelligence, old or ymmg, Whig
or Democrat, knows the statement to be simply un-
true. 8o far from being • abandoned,* the receipts to;
this fund huyeGctrrJyrgcly increased since Governor
Bigler came inlp-<rflfco. By coiling at the proper do.
paiimcni, os wo did, tho editor of (lie Journal can
learn that $495,750 47 of Stale bonds have been can
colled during the short period of Governor Bigler's
service, in addition to some $50,000 in relief notes
now in (ho Treasury, ready for cancellation, making
in all $545,750 4T, which will ho swelled, wo ore
assured, by tho close of the fiscal year, to near $700,.
000, fur exceeding the payment under the former ad
ministration during a like period.
Besides, no fact can *bo bolter known, than that
the schemes of expenditure which have been drain*
ing the Treasury, and have forced the Government to
mako a loan of $850,000, wero all commenced under
the late administration, and that Governor Bigler
had no altci native but to go through with these works.
Wo do not stale this fuel to complain of it, for wo
think it was wise to complete the North Branch Can.
al, and to ro-lay the Columbia railroad, but it is a
fact which sufficiently answers the charge of prodi-l
galily against the present administration. Both these
improvements, ns wo arc informed, will be completed
this scoson, and become hereafter a source of revenue,
instead of a drain on the Treasury, and as Governor
Bigler is pledged In his last message to resist the
commencement of any snd all njw schemes of ex
penditures, wo may hope soon to hove the whole sur
plus revenno opplied towards the payment of (ho
Stale debt.
A Choice of Kvlla.
Two yoong officers were travelling in tho far
West, when they stopped to lake supper at a small
road side tavern, kepi by a very rough yonkeo wo
man. The landlady, in a calico sunbonnet, and
bare feet, stood at tho head of tho table to pour
out. Sho inquired of her guests “if they choose
ol, Ari ftwnotoing, irf thoir cof
fee.” The first officer, supposes ••• .-.. e
Bweelnlng" rooanta largo portion of that article,
chooso it accordingly. What was his dismay
when he saw their hostess dip her finger deep
down into aifcparlhen jar of honey that stood near
her, and then stir it (die finger) round in tho cof
fee, His companion, seeing this, preferred “short
sweolning.” Upon whioli thd women picked op
a largo lump of maple sdgof Ihdlldy in a brown
paper on tho floor beside her, and bltihg off a piece
