Thieves About. —We learn that on Wednes day night of last week, the Carpenter, shop of Mr. John Qutshal, sitnate.in the southern pan. of the boroUgh, was burglariously entered, the tool-chesls broken open and rahs'aoked, and'ra gpeait many valuable tools carried oil'. This was a moat daring robbery, and wo truat tho perpetrator of it may yet ho discovered and brought to condign punishment;-: ■ Thb'tools stolen belonged principally to the journeymen l,i the employ of Mr. G., and .we deeply sympa thize with them in their loss, as they caii illy afford it'during the presedt hard times. Householders should .look wel| to their pre mises and out-buildingS during the present sea son, as hundreds of vicious and idle vagabonds are scouring the country, and who. will not fail to carry oil anything they may lay their hands upon.- A" Failure.,- —The .'Military Convention, which .was to come off at Harrisburg, on Mon ■' day, proved to he n.complete failure. not one re-1 prescntalive of those who are said to bg “sud den and (juick in quarrel” being present, save, and except Oca J'. Sidney Jones, of Delaware, and he is only a “carpet warrior.” Ono.can hot help deploring the decay of the ancient military spirit —that, cheap defence of nations —which' used to animate our countrymen in days gone by, when, ifno better implement of fejed,.the.patriot thirsting fof glory would ap pesr;upon .parade armed with a corns talk,’and ■ laoreb lo the stirring music of the kettle-drum.

Republican and Know-Nothing papers of this State,-since the election,.have ohahged their political song, and instead of singing-hos anas to the “down-trodden African,” they now can think of■ nothing and talk of nothing but 't-he'tnriff. We predicted, before the election, that pur opponents would open a new set of books,-abd adopt new principles immediately after their defeat. But, notwithstanding we mado-this prediction, we confess wo did not ex pect them to become tho advocates, at this ear ly of a principle against which they so re ocntly had set llfeir faces. A high protective t ar j(j_ a ' jarifTamounting almost to prohibition— was long advocated by the old Sfrbig party. — Ttie men of'that party believed in tho ‘and zealously did they advocate'and defend it. The Whig organization was strong in nearly every State of the Union, and, without recoun ting the errors it committed, it was at least a national party, and many of it s leaders were great and patriotic men. But the Whig party is no more—it is dead and buried. Who killed oil the Whig party, and consigned ite-princi ples and its banners to the tomb ? The Know- Nothings- And aflor. the Know-Nothings had forced The Whig parly to strike its colors, what principles were advocated by 'the now party ? Did they continue to advocate a tariff? Not they, for their party was composed of the fag ends of all- parties, and it so happened that most of-the leading men belonging to the Know- Nothing faction wero-free-trade men, and op posed to any kind ofp-tariff. The Know-Noth ing papers invited rill men of American birth to join them, and we remember very well that (ho Harrisburg Telegraphy in its appeals for converts tothe new party*, assured them that they could join the’ Know-Nothing organiza- lion, without any sacrifice of their political opinions, and that the protectionist and the free-trader, were to he placed on an equal foot ing ia the night-owl party. Indeed, the Know- Nothings repudiated all principles held by the old parties, and supported.for office, with equal zeal, tariff men and anti-larift men, abolitionists, and anti-abolitionists. So it was clear (hat the Know-Nothings cared nothing for the tariff nothing for anything but their bum aggrandize ment. • '• . ; . .But, (lie Know-Nothing party bad but a short..existence—its notorious dishonesty and corruption opened the eyes of the people to,its true character, and it was forced.tosuccumb.to Black Republicanism. Sambo was appointed commander-in-chief ol the second .new; party, in the place of the dismissed Sam. And what principles’diduhe Black Republicans contend for? Did they ask for a high (arid? No! On the contrary they broke ground in favor of free-trade,!’ Their . first, act in Congress was to elect Mr. Banks, a free-trade man, Speaker, and Banks appointed liKWis D. Campbell, ano ther frecdrode Black Republican," Chairman Of the Committee .of, Ways and Means, and C. la.mtbell introduced a bill which reduced the duties on goods coming into the United States iclow those of Ike act of 1846!, He offered his bill as a substitute for the tariff of 1846, and that was passed . by. llie Black Republican House,of Representatives; and'wept into opera tion without a niurmer from the opposition .press, on the Ist of July last.; The ‘tarifivof 1846. was thus-repealed, and-has not .been in operation' for the last four months, and in its stead is the tariff.aot introduced by CAMi'iiiiix, and. which approaches nearer the frie-t rade standard than any tariff we have’ ever had.— .Another evidence that .the Republicans prefer ed frtu-trado to a protective tariff, was made tnanifest.whcn they mmtina|cd WiLJior, a free trader, as their candidate for Governor in this St-atct ; But, .now that the people have repudiated and condemned bol'fi Know-Nolhingisra pnd Black B-cpublioanism, our opponents, all-at "’once, have become great advocates of a high i protective’ tariff, arid would make the people be-, lieve that the present monetary embarrassment of the country ta.owmg to what they term .the ’“free-trade policy of the Democratic-party!’’— What a consistent set of fellows our opponents are, lo be-sure! When they arc-in power they advocatt free-trade doctrines, and support free trade men for high offices, but when out of pow- er they change their tano and pretend to be fa vorable to tt high protective tariff! ' . . But, w6,ask, is.it the opera*ion of the tariff, or is it (ho batiks that have caused the present panic in the country ? The New-Fork Herald, a paper known to be hostile to the ‘party, answers the question to the satifaction of every candid mind. We quole as follows: “The old Whig:parly hue and cry against a low tariffiis raised again'its the cause of, our late excessive importations; .Even the Info free trade David Wilmot. of Pennsylvania; fakes up this'ory against thelow-tariff of ’4(3 us tbe'eause of the present revulsion ; but we cannot concur with these high tariff philosophers in this solu tion of the financial troubles that havoso thick ly come upon its. No- 'Wc cannot trace them to the (arill of ’46; but, we can,trace them to the banks and.stock jobbers, ,the railroad and. land speculators, the fashionsrflummeries, fop. peries, nincompoopcries, extravagances, vani ties, licentiousness, rogueries, defalcations, em bezzlements, forgeries, frauds, pet juries, and; all other rascalities of a wide-spread.demorali zation among men and women,’Saints and.sin ners—from puritanical' Boston to Sabbath breaking New Orleans. , These arc tho putent causes of the present,re vnlsion, and a Hundred, per cent, tariff, against these terrible evils of the times; would have been as powerless as a row boat 'in the rapids of the Niagara. Millionaire railroad jobbers,, stock, jobbers, land jobbers, banks, speculators, pec ulators and forgeries, fast young men, fast old men, fast horses, brandy, billiards, and, faro. French gewgaws, fashionable rivalries in was ting money, and all such rubbish, stuff and abominations, have done the business} The tariff of ’46 can’t be made the scapegoat, of the revulsion of 'S7. Wo, have' been' enjoying a high carousal, and are’now'called upon to foot the bills. That's all. ‘ C/? The Utica (H. Y.) Observer, says, at Genesee, iu New York; the buckwheat crop is still unharvested, owing to the scarcity ofhelp, and that the probability is that the crop will remain ungathcred.

Meeting of New York Members of Con gress.—The New York Daily News says that the twelve Democratic members clcotlo the next (35th) Congress'are to dine together, on invita tion of the Hon.' J, B. Baskin, at Delnjonico’s, in this city, on Tuesday next. The object, of the cnftrtainmcnt is supposed- to Tinvc reference tp the various'candidates for Speaker, Clerk, Doorkeeper, &c., 01, the House of Representa tives, -i TEBV TRUE. 0 The Washington Union has furnished, for several weeks, leading editorial articles upon banking—its uses and abuses. The following is from one of tho.editorials to; and al though expressing nothing but general propo sitions; are so admirably stated, we cannot de ny them a re-print: “ The liberties of a peo ple dO not depend oh laws, and constitutions so much ns on themselves. If they arc turbulent, dcbaucli’od or servile ; if they have not the in telligence to discern and the courage to resist all abuses of authority at every risk, they may have the best laws nhd the-best constitution ever devised by the-wit of man or the wisdom, of inspiration, and it will little avail ; for there will come in time, in the progress of every na-' jlion, a crisis when there will be iio nllernntivo but that of resistance or subjugation. If they are ignorant, they will be blind to llic sly, in sidious approaches of despotism ; if they are cowards, they will shrink from the assertion of their rights at tho risk of their persons; if they are debased by ,a habit of dependence, they will gradually sink into obedient slaves ; if they are incapable of self restraint, ihcy.nro unworthy of the great trust of governing others ; and if money is their god, they will sell tlu-ir'liherties, as the Pretorian Guards sold the imperial dia dem, to the.highest bidder. Never lot the peo ple of the United Slates flatter themselves they can preserve their liberties when they have lost the virtues by which they Were acquired. “ To one not hardened into insensibility or indifference by long practice, debt is the heavi est of all burdens except remorse, and consc quently the des're to got rid of it increases that impatience for the acquisition of money which is the common characteristic of ■ civilized mSn, whose superiority consists principally in the. number of artificial wants originating in a high slate of refinement, and the arts necessary.Jto their gratification. 'The debtor naturally wish es to relieve himself from this State of depend ency bn the will of another, and in order to do so, is seduced ijjlo the adoption of means which" hie otherwise Would not have 'resorted to .had he ndt been thus led into temptation. His love of money is aggravated by his ne cessities, and tb obtain it becomes the sole ob: ject of" his life. He is degraded, into an abject worshipper of Mammon, arid grovels at. the, hoofs of the golden calf, Now, nothing, we think, s is more logically demons! rateddhan lhat mankind are the staves of the master passion, aridThijil when that passion is the love of mon ey they will sacrifice everything to ils gratifi cation. i In pursuit of this, their greatest good, they will be pronp to lose sight of thc.obliga- tionsbf truth, justice and charity; their patri otism! will become subservient to the master passion,, and they wilt* - sell the priceless hies sings- of liberty if they cart dispose of them to.a profit- ,\Vc- have always, observed that turn out of, debt were, ns a 'general rule, less greedy of. the acquisition of money, and-more scrupu lous in adopting the means for its attainment, than those,.to whom it was indispensable to preserve them from disgrace and ruin. Hence, a nation of debtors can never become a nation of patriots, since patriotism consists in sacrifi cing alb selfish considerations tb the good of our country. That our banking, system; by "affording sothany facilities tor runiling. In.debt, has indefinitely multiplied the class of debtors, must, we think, bo evident to all who take the trouble to trace effects to their causes.” The Forthcoming message. The special Washington correspondent of Col. Forney’s Press says, it is rumored that Mr. Buchanan, in his first annual message to CohgVcss, will take bold ground on.-the curren cy question ; that he will re-afflrm the princi. ■pics' laid down. so clearly in bis celebrated; Speech on the Indcpedcrit Treasury Bill. He 1 believes that it was the intention of the framers of the Constitution to establish a hard-moriey currency, and that the action of. Congress since. has been a steady departure from that inten tion. It will be his object, then, to retrace the false steps taken, and to bring the Government back to the.Wuo ground. ; ’ The issue will be made in the next Congress, whether State batiks have the, constitutional power to .issue circulating “promises to pay.*’ There'will be a large parly to take the negative of;, (be argument, 'who.will not, it is said, yield until a decision has been given on the. question by the Supreme Court of the United States- — A general bankrupt law for the banks Will be presented for action. This will provtdea fixed legal course tor pulling into liquidation insol vent banks all over the Union.

The Philadelphia- Argus says that tho most distressing eases'of bankruptcy, caused by the rottenness of some of our banking institutions, are daily,coming to our knowledge. We saw one of our "prominent fellow r -citizcus, one whom we all delight to honor, passing aldug-one of our princ : pal streets a day or two, ago, looking depressed and nearly heart-broken. We .have just Heard the cause. He liad, invested the earnings and savings of a long life of imlustii oiis attention to business, in- one of the bank rupt swindling shops of this city, and finds himself not worth scarcely a dollar in the world. His whole property is swallowed’up in the htst of cormorants and vultures, which have so long preyed upon the prosperity and happiness of the nation. A correspondent of tho True American, writing from this city, has the following : [. ■ "'rhe great and overshadowing excitement of the day is the Blink of Pennsylvania exposure. The frauds alleged against thelate President are of the most astounding character, and seem incredible in a man so universally esteemed and respected. It appears, from the facts elicited thus far, that. Mr. Allibone had unchequcd con trol of all the business of the bank, and used its funds at his own good pleasure. The Com mittee of Investigation have made but litl.e progress ns yet, owing to the .confusion in which they found the affairs of the Institution. The bills receivable have been purloined from the clerk charged with their custody, and sold upomhe streets ; the books of the bank arc all falsi lied,'and the directors unable to throw any light Upon these dark transactions. Mr. AlM bone has taken hundreds of thousands of dor lars from the bank, without the knowledge of the directors, and wiihoiit security. And yet, up to tliG yctv moment of bis for Europe, •‘Sy the adiice of his physician, no man stood higher in public., estimation-'than Thomas Allibone,-President of ’the Bank of Pennsylvania, llis .wealth was supposed tn bo enormous, and his ostentatious charities rc■ sounded throughout the,breadth of this State; He professed to he,a very'religious man, and built and endowed a church up town at Ins own expense. -And .this .uiau, thus loved and thus Trusted, hiis brought ruin upon hundreds.

The boards placed above the coffin had decayed ; but no* earth had fallen upon it, and everything ap peared to'be as when the coffin was deposited l t here, except that the coffin lid was slightly out of place allowing a partial view of the interior’. As there were no fastenings to prevent, the part of the lid covering the superior portion of the body- was raised, and the several gentleman present looked in upon theßemains of the great Virginian. The coffin itself, of black walnut, was in perfect preservation, and the interior was nearly filled with a species of moss, which adhered tenaciously.lb the wootf. Beneath this, .and partly 7 hidden by it, were a few., of the larger and harder hones. The low er. jaw had fallen away, the bones of the breast and the ribs were gone, and the only parts of the skeleton \ which remained Were the skull and .portions of the cheek bones, the vertebral of the neck, the spine «nd the large bones of the arm, AH else of the Upper part-of the body had returned to the dust from wlicnce it was taken, and in a years more every .trace of the body, will disappear, until the trump ol the resurrection'shall reunites’the. scattered parti cles: The body, had been interred just iwenty one years'.. On reaching sufflciehlly, 'firm ground, the foundation .was commenced and built; up as two walls, one each side of: the coffin,'until it •reached a'sufficient height, evhen.it was arched over the coffin,.and.then built up solid to the surface, thus forming a vault, in which rest the remains of Madison, precisely beneath the cen tre of the monument.
