NICK-XASIES AND FEDEBALIS3I.
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

The Sunday liquor law.
Important to Tavern-Keepers.—The fiat
has gone forth, and hereafter the keepers of the
public houses, within the limits of Cumberland
county, will be prohibited from selling spiritoua
or malt liquors on the Sabbath day. At the
close of our recent Court of Quarter Sessions,
his Honor, Judge Graham, announced from the
Bench that hereafter, if the keeper of any public
house in this county would sell liquor on the
Sabbath day, and the fact bccoin?known to the
Court, it would be a sufficient ground for for
feiture of license, and that on complaint being
made, the Court would most certainly and at
once revoke the license of any one so offending.
The Court further said that no excuse or apo
logy would be listened to, and that the revoca
tion of the license would follow the infraction
of the law as surely as the shadow follows the
sun. We are informed that the Judges of our
Court are unanimous in their determination to
execute this provision of the law, and desire to
have this determination known as widely as
possible; and call upon every law-abiding citi
zen to be vigilant in reporting to the Court any
violation of the laws in that particular. Judge
Graham declared that, in the judgment of the
Court, a mim might as well follow any secu
lar employment on the Sabbath day, os that a
landlord should keep his bar open on the Sab
bath. All were admonished that the laws in
respect to retailing liquors would bo rigidly en
forced without exception.
We give the above for the information and
benefit of all those whom it may concern, and
would advise the tavern-keepers of this county
to obey the requirements of the law, by an im
mediate cessation of the sale of spiritous liquors
on the Sabbath day, not only in a public but
also in a private manner. We know that they
will be closely watched—that the law will be
enforced; and we know, too, that the announce
ment made by Judge Graham was not an idle
threat, made to be forgotten ns soon ns thi ex
citement of the moment had passed. Surely,
our landlords, like other good citizens, can have
no objection to abstain from worldly employ
ment one day in seven, and to obey the sacred
injunction, “ Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy.”
The Weather—A Great Snow Storm.
Verily, this is “ Winter lingering in the lap 1
of Spring.” and that, too, with n vengeance!
This season the weather has been more fickle, ;
capricious, and uncertain than we have ever j
known it. and Old Winter makes as many “last
appearances” as a favorite actor. From the
balmy and delightful spring weather, which was
fast covering the fruit trees with blossoms and
giving a native greenness to the grass in the
fields, we were, on Friday lost, transported bark
to winter, that we had hoped had bid its final
adieu for the season, and a change took place as
unexpected as it was unwelcome. Those of our
citizens who had prematurely donned theirsum
mer clothes, speedily threw them aside, and
great coats, cloaks, gum-shoes, Ac., made to
supply their place, and blazing tires voted not
only comfortable but indispensable.
On Friday evening last it commenced raining,
rendering the atmosphere raw, chilly and disa
greeable. During that night it turned to hail
and snow, and on Saturday morning the ground
tTM-OOT«r«<l with quite a irajftoUWe oprtnUling
of snow. Ou Saturday night it again snowed,
and on Sunday and Monday the snow fell fast
during the whole of both days. leaving a bed of
snow about Bor 10 inches in depth. Indeed,
this was one of the heaviest snow storms wc
have had for a year past, and Sunday will long
lie remembered os one of the most disagreeable
days of the season. It is feared that the rain
and sleet may have operated rather injuriously
on the early fruit, but we hope the storm has
been confined to a small extent of country. Ihe
sun is now shining brightly, the snow is dis
| appearing fast, and our streets will now be filled
I with slush and mud for a fortnight at least.
When Spring will l>c here in reality, we are
1 unable at present to say ; but, m the language
' of Dr. Watts, or some other poet—
I «• We are tired wailing, walling
I Waiting for the Spring.”

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.

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.

THE CABINET AMI IT'UA,
The New York Sun, which h.vs born the moat
lu'livt* of Iho agitators of Cuban attains, and the
most exacting iu Its reiiulreiuenU upon our gov
ernment, says, uii which U entitles “private and
moat reliable authority,” that
1 “Mr. Murcy has instructed Mr. Houle, our
1 Minister at Madrid, to make the demand for hi
l demnily au<l apology In the uw*l pcrtinfilury innn

It adds that “Secretuiy Davis is delighted with
I Mr. M a tic v’a spirit and views, and does not c»n
-! ceal his sallslaclioti when speaking to his inti
mate fi lends."
1 ll seems that English Government is disposed
1 to interfere in this matter; and the messenger
' of the Captain Genet.il ol ( uha is said to have
1 fallen into the hands of tlie Ihllish Minister at
I Washington. The Spanish legation weie ex-
I chided. A correspondent ol the New \ oik Ait.
Post says that Hie French and English Ministers
wailed on Secretary Marcy to complain of the
tone of the President's Message in the Black
Warrior Case.
“The Secretary told them, in aubslancu, that
the President’s'Message to Congress on any
subject Is not a document ol which our govern
ment can, under any circumstances, penult a
forelgh power to demand an explanation—but il
it were otherwise, ami we could recognise this
right, yet, In lids instance, the explanation if due
j to any one, is duo to Spain ; and (hut the inter
' ferencc of other parties in the utl'alr will not, tor

tives of England and France had so gratuitously
thrust themselves Into the discussion ot a point
of diderence between Spain ami the United
States, he would avail himself ol lids opportuni
ty of demanding an explanation of the objects ot
the alleanco between England and France, for
the regulation of American us well as European
a (lairs, which is now no longer a matter of con
cealment. He also, at the same lime, informed
them, for the information of their respective
governments, that the United Slates had long
since proclaimed its policy in regard to Europe
an interference in the affairs of this continent
that policy was unchanged.”
The reports go on to say that the British Min

THE PUBLIC WORKS.
To tho tax payers of Pennsylvania, at this pres
ent stage of Legislative proceedings, wc would
say,consider well the expediency or inexpediency
of milking any other disposition of this Important
source of revenue, than as it now stands, from
self-evident considerutlous, among which are, the
fact that they arc largely and steadily increasing
tho revenue annually; they now pay nearly a
quarter of ft million over and above the interest
of their entire cost, they are yet in their intancy,
they arc yet but an experiment, and tho most
important brandies ot which arc but iu progress
of completion, and if they yield such an amount
now, what will they not yield under judicious
management when fully completed, with the un
precedented increase of travel and transput lo
tion I
The tax payers of Pennsylvania unresistingly
submitted to an increase of taxation, partially
with a view to tne llnol complclion of the public
works, in anticipation of their being an auxiliary
in liquidating the public debt,and restoring con
fidence in the faith of the Commonwealth ; and
now, that they arc so near completed, yielding
1 six per cent, upon their cost, we say, pause and
consider and be nut tardy in acquainting your
I legislators of your considerations.
Artful and voluminous the correspondence of
tho press, indefatigable and laborious the ellorls
of a wilfully misguided, self interested and wo
may with security add, hired Cow, ami manyaud
elaborate tho harangues and speeches in the
Legislative Halls, to force the conviction ou the
honest and already overburdened taxpayers ot
Pennsylvania, of the expediency of the sale ul
the public works; and in nil their various ‘pano
ramic views,” which have been paraded to the
public, there is, to even school boy observation,
a glaring effort to suppress facts and contort cal.
dilations, to misguide and deceive, and in the
prospect of a temporary relief iteing consequent
j upon their disposal, overlook the le.itlul and
