Thur sday evening last, and was organized by the elec tion of John B. Parker, Esq., as President, and Tiros. D. Mahon Secretary.

Prater Meetings. —The religious meetings which were commenced at Marion Hall, in this place, some two weeks since, still continue, and are numerously attended. Our citizens scem'io' take a deep, interest in religious matters, and wo hope the result will far exceed the most san guine expectations of those engaged in the good work. . . About to leave Carlisle. —We learn that two of ourrespected townsmen, Wm. C. Eiieeji, and Aousfus M. Sawyer, Esqrs, are about to leave Carlisle, to seek their fortunes among strangers. Mr. RiiEbji intends to settle in Minneapolis, Minnesota Territory, iand Mr. Sawyer in Leavenworth, Kansas. They both purpose the practice of their profession, the law, and also lb engage in the Heal Estate busi ness. They will attend to locating land war rants, buying and selling lands, examining ti tles, paying taxes, &c, They are both young men of great probity and worth, and wc most heartily wish them success. Seeds. —Uon. John A. Ahl, member of- Congress form this district, requests us to state that he has forwarded parcels of garden seeds (procured at the Patent-office,) to all the Post- Masters of this.couhty, with directions that they be distributed to those wishing them. A lot was sent to us, but the demand for them was so great, that they have all disappeared. If the Doctor favors us with more seeds, we shall take pleasure in distributing them. •Appointed to a Clerkship.— Through the influence of Hoh. John A. Ahl, xMr. Joseph Sanderson. of Mechanicsburg, has been' ap pointed to a 81200 Clerkship in the Treasury, Department at Washington. We are glad to hear of his good luck. Mr. S. is a true and faitbfuf Democrat, and a gentleman much re spected by all who know him. Beef Contract. —Mr. John Noble was the lowest bidder (on Saturday last) for supplying the Carlisle Garrison with beef the ensuing year, and the contract was awarded him. His bid was Si cents per pound—the beef to be choice, and subject to inspection. ■ ■ Show Beep. —Our townsman, Mr. John B. Noble slaughtered a bullock on Saturday last, which was well calculated to make beef-eaters teeth water. He was a beautiful animal, five years old, and had been fed for nearly two years by Mr. Tobias Sites, of Dickinson town ship. Ho weighed live weight, 2364 pounds, and clean meat 1650. Fresh Fish. —The season tor these luxuries has arrived, and we can see them strung up and hanging around in every direction. Every per son hails with delight the appearance of Ivesh fish in fhb market, it being a perfect luxury, af ter living six or seven months on inferior meat, to set down to the table and find aflno largo shad lying before you, looking as if it would like to say “take mo in.” _ Mad Dogs,—The counties of Dauphin, Nor thumberland, Lancaster, Lebanon and Schuyl kill, appear to be alive with .mad dogs. In Dauphin-some dozen or more persons, together with a great number of animals have been bit ten. The people of the whole county arc in a state of alarm, and thousands of dogs have been killed. Wo have not hoard of any mad dogs as yet in this county, bill wo will have enough of them, no doubt, very soon. We warn the people, therefore, to bo on their guard—see to your dogs in time, and either kill or muzzle fhom before it is fob late. Our Borough author ities should at onee enforce the dog law. Let this not be delayed, another day. It is a most fearful thing to ho bit by a rabid animal, as death in its moat frightful (otm is almost sure to fol low. See (o your dogs! IX7* This is tho season after dreary winter that every one is glad to look upon those beat). tifulemblems, flowers; and all lovers who are glad to greet them in their-freshnees and fra grance should not fail to cultivate them. There is nothing more ennobling than a taste for flow ers. They have a place in almost every heart in connection with early memories, and few there are who are not alive to their sweet influ ence ; along with a mother’s influence flowers have a strong influence in moulding the young •kr.K9pd ! where there is a taste for them, and they are cultivated, there is certain to be kind feelings, good manners, and Christian aspira tions, <s*«opoi,iian Aet Association The annu al award of Premiums by tho Cosmopolitan Art took place at New York, on the of March.

Our Representative, Hugh Sicart, by this vote, has placed himself right upon the record, thus conclusively showing that he is not in fa: vor of fleecing our already tax-ridden State out of some twelve or fifteen thousand dollars. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press thus justly alludes to ibis matter: /- Until 1855 the pay of a member of the Legislature was $3 per day,.and Che sessions usually lasting about one hundred and ten days, it amounted to §33o— 1855 the Salary was raised to §5OO per ses sion, and last winter they furlherjvofcd them- selves §2OO extra, for the reason that the ses sion had extended a month longer 1 than usual, the adjournment not taking place until the mid dle of May. This plea, however, will not hold good this season, for both houses have agreed upon the 22d of April as the day of final ad journment. There is no denying that 8500 is hardly enough compensation for a man to spend four months away from his family, in a town .where living is anything but cheap ; that most men earn more here and could, make twice or thrice as much at other employment; and that many members who live as economically as can be expected, go home at the end of the session out of pocket. But all this docs not justify a. man in voting himself 8200 of the public mon- ey when he agrees. to serve the people in a posi tion where, the‘salary bad .been fixed,at $5OO per session, To increase the salary for future Legislatures would be proper enough; blit to vote himself money merely because he has the power, is acting upon The good old rule, the simple plan. That they should take who ‘have the power. And they should keep who can ; and is setting a precedent whereby corrupt men might, if they chose, vote themselves all the money in the Treasury, and. let the test of the Government officers whistle for their pay,” XT’ Oar neighbors ot/the Herald and the American crow lustily over the refiult of our Borough election. The latter paper, in giving the returns, deals liberally in slanting capitals and big eagle cuts, and the editor could not ap pear more elated if his repudiated and condemn ed Know-Nothing faction had been successful in a Presidential contest. It is so long, howev er, since our zebra opponents have had a good crow, that we suppose they deemed it prudent to fake advantage of the present occasion toin flate their lungs and thus prevent poiilicarcon sumption. Both these papersciaim the election as an* “anti-Lcconipfon victory W/iat ii diculmis nonsenses We venture to* assert (hat not one voter in fifty ever thought of tills gnes tion, and we are equally satisfied that several of 1 the.oaudidates would have been puzzled to know 1 what you were talking about, had they been in- 1 terogated in regard 10 the Lecomplon Const!- ' tntion. But, again—the only man bur oppo nents elected in the East ward is an open and decided Lcoompton Constitution man, and he says.ihe President is right in urging the admis sion of Kansas into the Union. AFhy did the ahii-Lecomptonites nominate and elect him ? How did it happen that he received more votes than any man on their ticket ? . Was it because he was and is a Lecomplon Constitution man ? We should like to know.. But; enough. The two tickets were formed and voted for without reference to national polities. 'At least one third-of the Democratic candidates were anti- Lecomplon men ; they received (he .entire vote of their party, and some of them were elected.. It will not do. therefore, for the Herald and the American to claim the result'of our Borough election as an “ anti-Lccompton victory,” for the editors know, and our people know, (bat such is not the fact. The Time Fixed.— Our readers, indeed the whole people, will rejoice that , there ,is a pros pect at last that the potty squabble about Kan sas, so long protracted by factious demagogues to further their own selfish schemes, \vi)l be definitely settled on 10-. day, (Thursday). There seems to have boon a general understanding or agreement entered into by the parties, that Mr. Stephens shall move the previous question, at one o’clock. Everybody will rejolce when a final disposition shall bo made of it. A Heavy Fee.—The Special Committee of the U. S. House of Eepreseulalives, raised for the purpose of investigating (he charge of bri bery made in reference to the purchase by the Government, of the Pennsylvania Bank build- ing, in Philadelphia, for a Post Office and Coiiri House, have reported that Mr. John Miller, late Postmaster of that city, received from the bank $23,000 for his “services.” The late Postmas'- ter General, Judge Campbell, stands whollycx honorated by tho testimony from all knowledge of, or participation in, this lucrative “business’’ transaction. Cot. Benton.—A late letter from Washing, ton informs us that Col. Tnos. H. Benton is confined to his bed, with cancer of the stomach. He works upon his Abridgement of the Con grcssijjpal Debates as steadily as ever, and hopes to live long enough to finish it. O'- Philadelphia, on Saturday, was honored by the presence of distinguished celebrities Ex-President Fillmore, and his Excellency Gov ernor Packer, arrived in the city on that day.

The Kansas Resolutions ,lg the State {Senate, _ • .tjSvT; I Our readers are aware tht^t p the majority of I the select committegof the ed lbeatlopTum of* resolutions sanctioning and sustaining the position of the President, and of a large majority of the Democratic reprosenta lives in Congress, in favor of the immediate ad mission of Kansas under the-Leconypton' Con stitution. .. On last Thursday,■ the- following resolutions wire adopted, in a full Senate,,cvfl ry member being present and voting: “ Repot red by the Senate, !fc.. That this Stale has viewed with deep regret the troubles here lofore existing in the Territory of Kansas, pro ductive as they have been of (inferences among { the organized Slates—that I heir continuance is to ho earnestly deprecated and their termina tion sought for by all justifiable means : and that this General Assembly, confiding in the ability and patriotism of the present Chief Ma gistrate of the United States, and impressed with the - wisdom and justice of his recommen dation to Congress in favor of the immediate .admission of Kansas into the Union as a State, do heartily approve that measure, and endorse it with whatever' of authority and influence pertains to Ibcm, Resolved, That any defective or objectionable provisions, if such exist, in the Constitution of Kansas,, (now pending before Congress.) are for the consideration of the people thereof, and that their power to amend alter or modify the same, if they shall think proper, in a regular or lawful manner, immediately upon admission as h State into the, Un on, is unquestionable, and stand upon solid constitutional principles and the practice of the American Stales.” Every Democratic Senator recorded his vote in favor of these resolutions, with the single exception of Mr. Turney, of Westmoreland.— They were offered by Judge Wilkins, of Alle gheny, as an amendment to the resolution ori ginally reported from the' committee, and wci-e immediately accepted, being substantially the same, although more specific in character. GZP - The Herald says it was opposed to intro ducing politics into our Borough election, *■ be lieving such a course to be useless and nriwise.” In what number of the Herald did the editor advocate this policy ?—do tell us. \Ve glance over the columns of that paper every' week, and we never noticed that he took this position. If the editor was opposed to politics being intro duced into our Borough election, why did lie assist to nominate a parly ticket ? No, no— the. Herald .will never favor the election of Bor ough officers independent of politics so long as the editor’s own party can rule (he roast. The editor, after, the election, may favor ibis policy, but he is careful to do it at no other lime. Utah Volunteers- —Sixty-seven persons in this borough and Lancaster have signed a pa per expressing their willingness to place them .selves under the command of Lieut..lsaac Wa terbary, to take part in the war against the Mormons.— Harrisburg Herald.

Another ,Mad Dog.— A correspondent at Hoekersvilie; Dauphin county, writes us: Cor nelius C. Gerhart recently got a dog of Mr. John Spider, which he had chained near his house. On (fib fourth day thereafter the dog wasattacked with hydrophobia, broke his chain, anti ran into the house; where were Mrs. Ger hart, her child and ayounger brother of Mr. Gerhart. Thcy ran into an adjoining room and shot the door. The dog bit everything that came whithin-his" reach.' Some neighbors be came apprised of the facts, assembled and de spatched the dog before ho had done any seri ous injury. Death pho.ii Hydrophouia. —We learn by the Philadelphia papeis that a young man pain ed JonN Kohler died of hydrophobia, in that city, on Saturday last, frdm the bite of a .mad dog, inflicted nine weeks ago. The animal by which he was bitten was a pet—just one of those pels which may fie found in almost every house we enter. The deceased was bitten so long ago that the oircilmstanco was almost for gotten. On Thursday, while at work, he was seized with a death like chill, the first symp tom of the dread disease. On Friday morning, still unsuspecting the true cause ol his ailment, he found himself unable to drink bis coffee at the morning meal. Ho afterwards endeavored to wash himself, hut immediately went'into convulsions. Ho suffered from.constantly re-. curring spasms up to the last moment of his life, enduring agonies inexpressible. N. B.—Since writing the above, we learn frotn the Philadelphia papers that a sister of Mr. Kohler, who was bitten by tlie same dog, also died of hydrophobia on Tuesday morning. Another Death prom Hydrophobia.— The Lancaster Intelligencer informs us that. Henry Webb of that city, aged 27 years, died on Sun day of Hydrophobia. He, was bitten, by a mad dog some nine weeks since, and the attack was one of. the most, malignant kind. His suffer ings, just previous to his death, were excrucia ting, in the extreme. Mr. Webb leaves a wife a»d two children. Tub. Utah War. —We learn from Washing ton, that according to the plan laid down by the War Department, there wiir be, by July next, about five thousand ftye, hundred trobps.in that Territory, amply supplied for an active cam paign. Should it be necessary,,this force will consist of about one-third cavalry; sixteen guns of artillery and the rest infantry. Three fifths of this-force has yet to he sent, Russell, the contractor for transportation of this army, will employ three thousand five hundred teamsters to drive wagons'carrying the supplies.' This will give some idea of the magnitude and cost of the undertaking. the ladies .of New York have adopted the profession of dentistry.— Exchange. A good idea—fbettcr than oloroform, decided ly. We believe wc could submit to the opera tion of baying a “grinder” extracted, without giving even one yell, provided the operator was one of Eve’s fair daughters—a right pretty girl. Well, we could, for we would bo so intent in peering into her sparkling eyes, and in wishing for a smack at her ruddy lips, as to make us forget the painful sensation al together. [We.hope, by way of parenthesis, that no one will point out these comments to our “ better half."] The End Approaching —The end, not of the world, but of the everlasting Kansas ques tion is believed to be approaching. The Wash ington Union thinks there will be no delay in the action of the House, and that perhaps the subject will he disposed of during the present week. Four Kansas speeches were made in the Senate, and ten in the House on Saturdoy. A Volte from New Jersey. The speech of Mr. Wortcndykc, on Tuesday L -Ure able-mtmibcrof'Cofigrcss from the Hudson District. Hew Jersey, has the ring of tho true metal. • Its perusal has afforded us the highest satisfaction. The following bricf sketch of it will be found deserving the marked attention of urrrcadcrs. -Wc copy from the Washington Un ion ' ■ ' ' • ■ „ ■' Mr. Wortcivljko, of New Jersey, said, de. pend upon it there was no part of the annual message of the President' better founded upon fact, or that more readily found its verification, than that portion which declares that Kansas has for years occupied too much of the public attention; and that it is high time this atten tion should be directed, to for more important objects. The stern ' injunction of the people was that the denunciation over the Kansas question and the slavery question should bo stopped, and with the spirit of these injunctions he deeply sympathized and deemed them well timed and well-applied. The best policy for them to pursue was to take the warning in j lime; so significantly and patriotieally given to I them by, the Chief Magistrate, and throw the “ nigger" question out of Congress in some way, and at the earliest possible moment. Tie contended for the constitutional right of the peo ple to adopt or prohibit the institution of. sla very as they deemed fit—the same privilege which his own Stale has had. and still has, to. regulate their institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United Slates. Tie had, therefore, nothing to say upon this exhausted-and rejected issue that had been raised for him in another place by the Black’ Republican party. Ho expected to vote for the admission of Kansas, because he believed that by doing so ho would contribute to the result, so ranch to be desired, of banishing forever the question of-slavery from the halls of Congress. He should vote for its admission because he be lieved the Constitution was undeniably repub lican in form, because he could find no reasons to sustain himself as a legislator if he withheld that vole, and because it was in the line of safe precedent. He was prepaied to vote for the ad mission of Minnesota and Oregon, because (heir Constitutions also are undeniably republican in form: He then proceeded at length 10 advocate theadoption of the Constitution.’’ Corruption in Philadelphia Juries. —Tbu a lniinisiraf ion of justice in the courts of our large cities is fast becoming a mockery, and mere sham. It is the nest thing to impossible to convict notorious criminals, owing, to the fact that by collusion with some of the officers of the courts, the friends of these ruffians contrive to have thoniselvos smuggled into (fie jury-box. An instance has-just transpired in Philadelphia; which jlias occasioned considerable excitement, and |ts prompt exposure does great credit to Judge Ludlow,-flic presiding Judge. It seems that one George Preeth, was charged with tho wilful murder of Wm. Lee Smith, end the. testi mohy left not the slightest doubt of his guilt; hilt the jury brought in a verdict of guilty of | manslaughter only- Judge Lildlow being satis fied that tho jury had been packed, went into an investigation, .'which showed that tho Deputy Sheriffs who find summoned the Jurors, had ■freafed with cordempt (he orders of tho Court, and selected such men from the hangers-on about the Court as suited their purposes; Dep- i.uty-Sheriff AVeo.
