By this time the Federal party should have learned tho inefficiency of names as & species of political small arms. With an intelligent peo ple names amount to nothing—they go beyond, to look at principles. Our opponents have been defeated under all the names that ingenuity could supply them with, and democracy, though at various periods denounced as Jaco binism, Atheism, Agrarianism, Loco-focoism, and every other derogatory “ism” that could be thought of, still goes on triumphant. The recent contests, probably more than any others, have shown that the calling of names answers no purpose. Federalism, under the imposing title of “Whiggery,” has never been able to re tain power beyond a single term cither in our National or our State Governments. They have, it is true, on a few occasions succeeded to pow-! or by hurubuggery and fraud, and by a giving up of all principle, but the very means they used to obtain power and place, was tho principal cause of their speedy downfall.- It is time, therefore, our Federal opponents should learn wisdom —it is time they should drop the expression “Loco-focos,” when they speak of Democrats —it is time they give upAhis species of Rtllmess and littleness. They may call themselves what they please, but it is worse than folly to continue the effort to stigmatize Democracy with, epithets intended to convey unfavorable impression. It answers no purpose I whatever, and is both bad taste and in bad tern -1 per. Yet we still see the stale phrase “Loco- I foco” ostentatiously paraded in all the Federal ! journals at the very time when Democracy is 1 placing the seal of condemnation on all their doings—vv,ben so called Whiggery is routed in almost every battle field. With such results, names certainly are not much to bo regarded, j but when their use is continued for the purpose | ofinsult and irritation, U is not perhaps amiss to allude to the folly, if uot malignity of such a -Tin- Buffalo Cm/nri n\ truly says —"Our political history dis- the curious fact, thnl no individual has Ih,i, tiiirnl in ctligy in tins country for any act „• im:i\ lone <•■ H ll inillctl as a public man, whose nipul.ini \ lias not been materially increased by lie operation.

Wisconsin Endorses tub Nebraska Bill The Milwaukie News, of the hth inst., Rays . "We congratulate the friends of federal non interference in the territories and the opponents of abolition agitation, on the final defeat of the resolutions of instruction introduced into our Slate Legislature in the early part of the session. The Senate indefinitely postponed the resolu tions, and the legislature has now adjourned without ever giving them a parting thought. Tins may properly he elaimed by our friends as a triumph of the principles of the Nebraska bill, and the action of the Slate Senate in thus handsomely disposing of the question unties the hands of our Senators and Representatives, and leaves them to vote on all questions of territo rial governments according to their individual convictions of right. The public feeling in this Stale is rapidly settling down in accordance with the true democratic doctrine on this ques tion. The anti-Nebraska excitement has died out, if that may be said to have died which scarcely ever had life, or which only exhibited itself in an occasional efllgy burning by a few shiftless loafers.” Is a Clergyman a Citizen ? Ono would infer from tho slang of certain reck less senators,.partisan editors, and pewter-mug spouters, that a clergyman has no right to express an opinion upon any public measure or political subject. Three thousand educated and intelli gent ministers of Christianity have no business* we arc told, to sign their names to a petition or remonstrance to go before tho Congress of the nation. It is only your rum-hojo rowdies that have a right to bo hoard on questions o of vital in terest and Importance to the Slate and to hu manity. These patriots oflhc grog-shop, these frothy demagogues, alone have the right to dis cuss the affairs ol the nation ! The right of petition ami remonstrance ir abso lute to all classes of citizens—to the clergy as well as to the laity} and we think the voice ol 60,000 Ministers of the Gospel against the Ne braska hill is quite as significant and respectable as the clamor of 50,000 otlice-holdeis in luvor ol . it. —New York Mirror- The Washington Sentvnl. in re-publUhing the above chaste and classic moreenu, proceeds to answer it after the following fashion : “Isa clergyman a citizen ? No one disputes that he is; and, like all citizens, a clergyman has the incontestable right to hold and express political opinions. No senators and no editors have de nied them such rights. Clergymen are citizens just as lawyers are citizens, or farmers, mer chants, carpenters, or blacksmiths; and they have precisely the same rights that they and all other citizens enjoy. But, as clergymen, they have no business to come before Congress in connexion with political questions. They have no business to speakjto Congress ' in the name of Almighty God.’ no business to quit the quiet and„consecrntcd sanctuary, with their pastoral robes, and appear as a holy mob before the national legislature. They have no right to say, as ministers; protest againSt the passage of a particular measure. 1 he) have no right to threaten the elected and sworn representatives of the people of this free coun try with the vengeance of Heaven for passing acts that are necessary ami pioper for the coun try. As preachers, they are not known to the Constitution ;as citisens, they are. If they come in the former cha aeler. they deserve the contempt of Congress . if m the latter charac ter, they should receive the same respectful , treatment that is exterdid to other citizens. i It would be as proper Im b’.a> ksnnlhs, or car- I pouters, or doctors, or law mis, or any olhei class, to petition Congr-s.-, a- -uch, in reference ; to the Nebraska bill,a> «t m for clergymen.” AcU of Incorporation, The Legislature of this Slate, we perceive, has wisely passed an a'i. and which has hecn approved by the Govwnor increasing the pow ers of the (’mints in relation to granting nets of incorporations. The act includes scientific, educational, agricultural an 1 other incorpora tions. This will take out ol the hands of the Legislature a vast amount ot local and vexatious business, and be of gnat saving to the Com monwealth. It may truly he said that a few more efforts on the part of the Legislature and the Governor to correct the evils which, for some years past, have crept into Pennsylvania legis lation, and the people will he relieved from the burdens imposed upon them by a mass of laws which ought never to have been passed. So far the Legislature is doing good service, and the ardent hope of every faithful and good citizen is, that they may continue on ns they have be gun. By the law which we have mentioned, the. Cofirtß will to Grant acts of incorporation for with but few ex ceptions. ‘■Snakes,” then, in legislation, will be scotched the moment they show their heads, and t lie legislatui e he made what it ought to he, a place where the interests of the people are I guai-ded and protected.

Bratton —ln tho Volunteer of the Gth instant, I noticed the following: County Valuation. —The val uation of taxable property in Cumberland coun ty, as fixed by (lie board ol Revenue Commis sioners, at their recent session in Harrisburg, Is $10,040,850. This is an increase on the valua tion of three years since, of $561,0-18.” Whilst I believe it was not your intention, still this statement may have an impression upon theniind of the render that the increase of $361,045, had been added by the Revenue Board ; pemiit rne through your paper to slate this matter correctly, thus : —The County Com missioners, on oath, are required to make re turn to the State Treasurer for the use of the Revenue Board, of the last trianuial assessment proceeding thejnceling of said Boaid —(some ol which returns for thelute Board were so incor rectly made, that (hey recommcmUd, with a view to obtain a uniformity in the returns, for the benefit of future Bo aids, the law be so a mended as to require the State Treasure.hereafter to send out printed blank forms to be tilled ami returned by thc’County Commissioners.) The return furnished by the Commissioners of Cum berland county was °ne of the most perfect, so much so that it received the commendation of some of the Boardi The various subjects under their respective heads as there stated subject to a 3 mills tax are in the aggregate $10,840,055 ; those which arc subject to a 1 per cent, tax, os $107,336; that to 2 per cent, tax, as $l,BOO ; tlie whole amounting to $10,049,101, which is $2,335 more than the sum fixed by the Revenue Board. From this statement your readers will see that the increase over that of 1851, the in crease which has occurred by improvements and otherwise within the three years as returned by the assessors of the different townships.and that instead of an increase by the Revenue Board o\ rt* the County Commissioner’s returns, there is in reality a decrease to the amount before staled.
