COUNTRY AND CITY BANKS
Our banks.oorttinue to'labor under a vast load
of difficultiesenecasioned by the continued-op
pressive conduct of the Philadelphia 'Banks and
Brokers, acqaiesoed in, if not encouraged, by
their Merchants and other businessmen. .As.the
first of April, the great pay-day, is upproadling,
our hanks are compelled to contract instead of
expend, their aecommodationsomd that to an ex
tent which cannot batman a vast amount of dif
ileultles if persevered in.
The outrageous action of the Philadelphians is
occasioned by the simple fact that our banks re
fuse (and that properly) to keep a large amount
of their capital in Philadelphia to redeem their
notes. They tabboo our banks as "doubtful,"
and refuse to pity a single dollar of the "doubt
ful" notes over their counters, so as to keep them
in circulation, but as fast se they can collect them
send them home for redemption. The determin
ed person! of this course makes it impossible for
our banks too keep atp their circulation. A mer
chant obtaliwoue 'thousand 'dollars from one of
our banks, goes 'to Thilddeliibia ornii 'buys goods
therefor, and before a week or Yen 'days 4ilapse
the same thousand dollars are back for redemp
tion. Our banks might as well bank on gold and
silver.
So far as the Lebanon Banks are concerned,
they.ere regarded as sound institution as any in
Philadelphia, and are assuaged as carefully.—
fence, for the latter to intimate, as they frequent
ly do In publications, that our banks, are"doubt
ful," icregarded by our community as frivolous.
But there is no "doubt" Philadelphia is, and has
been for some time inviting the enmity of the
country, and if its banks and business men per
severe much longer in their oppressive policy,
they will regret it. If the Philadelphians can
associate for "clearing house" and other systems,
the country might also associate for come 'pur
poses.
Lot Philadelphiansvaniider their city as only
apart of Pennsylvania, and let the two aot to.
Other for the mutual benefit of both. LEI there
be no oppression on either side and all will be
well.
We wish some one of our financiers, or men
fully versed in the matter, would take np the sub
ject. "Oar people are complaining a great deal,
and some place the responsibility here, some
there. They should know where it really does
attach,
Bunrni—Our neighbor of the Courier lays,
"there are numerous rumors floating about, not
creditable to the Legislature." What are they?
Bribery and corruption? Bit
Wm:mg.—The Legislatures of Kentucky and
Tonneekee have teoently been pitying visits to
the Legidisture of Ohio. As the tax-payers foot
the bills Ihris created, the old adage will apply:
'--what is fan to boys (members) is death to the
birds (tax 'payers.) These visits are all wrong.
Let members do their legitimate •bneisese anti
then go home. Some of them be projeoting
trips to Europa before long.
Tag OPPOSITION.—Aa the 221 of February ap
proaches, the time for the holding of the"People'e
Party" Convention,lbeir diffloulties are thicken
ing, One half the counties is the State are re
bellious on the subject of the appointment of
delegates to tho Chicago "Republican" conven
tion. One faction want the Congressional dis
tricts to appoint the delegates, and are already
appointing them, while others want the conven
tion to do the work for them. On the flowernor
'ship question many are also arnica - log mice. Some
want the candidate 'nominated in Pennsylvania,
white others go in for the nominations made in
Washington ! A late minting of noses thus pro
duced the following as the probable result of the
first ballot la Pcnnrylvania .—Cartin, 35; Tag
gart, 32 ; Covode, 15; Rowe, 13; Kline, 13;
Reeder, 9 ; Unities, 5 ; Calvin, '1; Todd, 3.
Whole number, 133. Necessary to a choice, 67.
The result calculated upon in Washington is
somewhat different,
TUE IRON lorrenesr.—A great many bilk, are
now before the Legislature for Railway charters,
and the flecking passage of one last week shows
that the Legislature is favorable to them. Lot
them grant the charters, all, and the iron market
will coon became bettor, as there will then be a
great demand for rails. The only difficulty in
the future will be tfie 'raising of the money to
pay fur them.
CUANGE or TACTlCL—Tbomovetnents at Wash
ington indicate a ohange of tactics on the part of
the Republicans, since their defeat in the eh:lo
tion of a Speaker. -Mr. Seward is already with
drawn Re a Prosidential candidate, and the tick
et now proposed for the Chicago Convention is
Edward Bates, of Missouri, for President, and
Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania, for Vice Pres
cient., Mr, Beward's friends accede to this ar
rangement, on condition that he is made Minis
ter to England.
NATIONAL FOUNDRT A? LIMAZON.-Bir.

passage of his bill into a law, and mooring the

A RESPECTABLE SCOUNDREL
The Johnstown Echo Bays : "A clerk. or
salesman, In the large mercantile establishment
of Neod, Morrell ik Co., n amed Stephen G. Evans,
was detected and arrested some two weeks ag',
while on a wedding tour in Philadelphia, ter
robbing the company of a considerable sum of
money. It is not known to what extnnt he car
ried his thefts, as he was a very fast young man,
but the amount of nineteen hundred dollars was
'traced to him—thirteen hundredt.4f which ha
was forced to disgorge, and his note'teken for the
'balance, when he was permitted to depart. Steve,
aslstwas , called, played the respectable so well,
assumed se many winning ways, as to enable
hint to captivate and marry one of the gayest of
our gay belles—the daughter of one of our most
worthy and respectable citizens. The gay young
buck was too respectably connected, and the
amennt stolen was too large, to justify a prose
station. It is only when a wretched, destitute
urchin purloins a small Bum, or when some poor
man or woman steal a ham for a famished fain ily,
that a prosecution and punishment is deemed
'necessary."
THN NIGGERS AND CONGRESS.—Tbe "niggers"
who do the "menial" work at the Capitol are a
shrewd set of fellows. Tuesday one of them was
standing by one of the doors of the Douse, look

"Jim they're talking about niggers in there."
"Well" was the response, "dot's der business.

THE SUM OF ALL VILLANIES
Such is the charge of anti slavery men brought ,
against American slavery. And yet it len fact,
that American slavery has done more to civilize
and christianize the poor benighted l'agitne, than
all the missionary societies extant. It is estima.
led that there are over four millions of slaves iu
the United States, all of whom are thoroughly
civilized, and tents dr thousands of them devoted
christians—to say,•not a.word in reference to the
thousands) of the free people of color who are
christians. Can all the missionary societies id•
Christendom say th is of theirefforts in pagan lands
notwithstanding their vast expenditures of mil
lions of money and the sacrifice of hundreds
or valuable lives, both men and women ? Not
only are theta lives sacrificed, but many of them
before they have acquired it sufficient knowledge
of the native language of the heathen to teach.
Can, then, American slavery be the sum of all
villanies, and at the same time produce such
fruits? The greet Author of Chirstianity says
—"A good tree osnoot bring forth evil fruit.
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."
Is then civilization and telifistianity good fruit ?
Who dare -se7 maid° •this ? And have not both
•oiviliaation .ants .Christianity been preduced by
American slavery ? If the system of American
eleven) , be the "sum of all villa° ies," it must be
an evil tree, and according to the icioliing of
'Christ, it cannot bring forth good fruit. The
Anti-slavery men of America may take which
horn of the dilemma they please.—Pennsylvanian

FIRST GUN IN THE CAMPAIGN!
LANCASTER. Fo b.
The contest yesterdny in this city, was a most
terrific one. T. U. Bunnonans was the candi
date of the Black Republicans, Know-NOthings,
and all the other isms combined, and thousnnds
of dellars.(furnished from Aliddletowu and
Waek
ingron City,) were spent to secure his election,
and to proclaim it from one extremity of the
Union to the other, as a Republican triumph ov
er Mr. Buenenait, in his own home.
But, thanks to the noble hearted Democracy of
our noble old city, they presented a solid and de
termined frent to the enemy, and after one of the
moat desperate contests on record,ia which about
2700 votes polled, succeeding in routing the co
horts of Cameranianism and Blaok Republican
ism, by a handsome majority of 179 for Mayor
&Lummox, and also carrying all the members
of Cautteilaxcept one or twe, as also a majority
of the other City offieers.
The victory is complete. Our Democratic
friends are elected beyond measure, and will fire
one hundred guns this afternoon in honor of the
victory. The Mayor elect was serenaded about
9 o'clock last night. There were at least 1000
persons in the street in frent of his house. Ho

In'the Senate to-day a large number of bills
and resolutions were introduced. The Navy bill
was made the special order for Monday next.—
The House passed the Post Office Deficiency bill,
and after electing Doorkeeper and Postmaster,
adjourned till Thursday, in order to afford the
Speaker time to prepare the Standing Commit.
teeP, which it is proposed to announce on that
day. The Republicans have a conference to-mor
row night with reference to the selection of a can
didate for Printer to the 'Louse. The Post Office
Deficiency bill is expezted to pass the Senate to
morrow. The subject of the Philadelphia Post
Office was brought up before the House by the pre
sentation of a large number of petitions asking
that it may be located in the old Pennsylvania
Bank Building.
In the Senate to day a Message was received
from the President vetoing the bill for the re
moval of obstructions from the mouth of the Mis
sissippi. A number of bills and resolutions were
introduced., one of the latter by Mr. Wilson, of
Massachusetts, contemplating a general investi.
gation of all government affairs. The Post office
Deficiency hill was considered, variously amend
.ed, and postponed until to-morrow. Time House
not in session.
The Senate to-day in considering the Post Of
fice Deficiency bill made a very decided demon
stration in favor of the abolition of the franking
privilege, and but for its being somewhat out or
place and calculated to embarrass the bill in the
Rouse, the proposition as embodied in the hill by
the Finance Committee, would hare been adopt
ed. At the same time, also, there was a disposi
tion manifested to run to the other extreme, by
requiring the prepayment of all printed matter
by thimersons. The bill was variously amended,
and is still pending before the Senate. Among
other amendments agreed to, was one requiring
the printing of the Post Office blanks to be given
out to the lowest bidder. The Rouse meets to
morrow, when the standing Committees will be an
nounced. The Republican caucus yesterday
nominated John D. Defrees, of Edianapelis, for
Printer to the Rouse. There is muck complaint
among the place hunting Republicans in Wash.
dergton. They say everything has been given to
their enemies, and they threaten rebellion at
home.
In the Senate, the Post-Office Deficiency bill,
niter submission to various atueutlments, embrac
ing the I abolishing the franking privilege. was
finally passed, and sent to the House. In the
latter body the standing committees were an
nounced by the Speaker ; and created much dis
satisfaction. The Texen members were especial
ly indignant at the unimportant place to which
they were assigned. They demanded to he ex
cused from serving, and were excused.
Frxnar Feb, 10,1860.
In the House the Kansas Constitution was
presorted. After 801110 preliminary business,
filling vacancies on committees, Ste., the house
went into committee 'if the whole on the Presi
dent's Message, and Mr. Perry undertook the
tank of defending the Republican party from the
charge of sectionalism and want of fealty to the
Constitution. Me lost his temper and made a
violent and vindictive npeeeli. Mr. Reagan, of
Texas, followed. The Senate was not is session.
There are strong indications that the Republican
nomination for Printer will fail of an endorse
ment by the House on Monday. The strife is
between the Bales and Seward divisions., The
structure of the Standing Committees of the Maine
has given rise to di.ssatisfaotion among members.
One of the most striking features about the Com
mittees, is the desire their cast evinces to coax
the South Americans. In sell themselves to the
purposes of the Republican party organization
throughout the session. Thus, five South Amer
huts (out of their total force of twenty-three,)
are at the heed of tire of the most important
Committees—evincing a degree of favoritism for
that wing of the Mouse as remarkable as it is
likely to prove unavailing.
The accounts from IVashing,ton report that city
filled beyond all pre.tedent with Republicans,
seeking places under the Mouse organization.
The disappointment of the barrenness of thc Re
publican triumph is intense, and the complaints
unbounded. To make the matter worse, thousands
of these place-hunters have not the means to get
away.

A MAsrErt KILLED AND BURNED BY
BIS SLAvEs.—On Monday last, Dr.
Wm. Croxton, a highly intelligent
citizen of Essex county, Va., had oc
casion to correct a servant woman for
some offence, but did so in a mild and
gentle manner. This fact - enraged a
negro man, vowed to have revenge,
but at the time gave his master no
intimation efhis inten tier'. On Wed
nesday last, whilst -one ofhis servants
was engaged in grinding. a cutting
knife,. Dr. Croxton walked to where
he was, and whilst looking on, with
out suspecting any -danger, another
servant stepped behind him, gave him
a violent blow upon the back of the
bead, which felled him to the ground,
and then dispatched him. The two
then dragged him behind the barn,
and kindled a fire, placed his body on
it and burnt it. `E hey next cut the
skirts of the saddle upon his riding
horse, and then turned the horse loose,
expecting to create the hnpression
that he had been attacked on the road
and murdered. When the doctor was
missing, his friends instituted a search
for him, and in a pile of ashes near
the barn discovered two or three of
his fingers and a portion of one of his
feet. The murder caused great ex
citement in the neighborhood in which
it was committed.—Richmond Dis

A LUCKY MAN.—Gov. Latham, of

is considered a splendid investment,

CONJUGAL AFFECTION.— An incident
catne to our knowledge the other day
which speaks strongly in favor of the
depth and undying character of congu
gal affection. A married woman in our
city had the misfortune to lose her hus
band a few days since; and, while think
ing over her desolate condition,and the
prospect of dreary, lonely winter, and
estimating how much of her funds
would be absorbed in the funerel ex
penses of her deardeceased, she was in•
terrupted by the call of a young son of
Esculabius, who, after some little chaf
fering, proposed to give the lady a good
'round sum for the useless body of The
-dead husband. The widow thought up
on the proposal, and finally accepted
the offer. A day or two afterwards,
being waited on by some of her friends,
who came to sympathize with her in her
affliction, the widow said it was not so
had as it might have been, as she had
sold her husband's body, and filled her
teller with wood and coal bought with
the proceeds. .

Mountain Herb Pills.
A WYE, we present you with a perfect likeness of
Xl Tezuco, a chief of a tribe of the strange Aztec Na
ti m.that once ruled Mexico. .You will find a full ac
count of and his people in obr Pamphlets and Al
manacs—to be had gratis, from the Agents for those
Pills.
The inventor and manufacturer of .'Judson's Moun
tain Herb Pills," has spent the greater part of his life
In traveling, having visited nearly every country in the
world. lie spent over six years among the Indians of
the Rocky Mountains and of Mexico, and it was thus
that the .. .IThograiN Man Pitts" were discovered. A
very interesting acceuut of his adventures there, you
will find in our Almanac and Pamphlet.
It is an established fact, that all diseases arise from
IMPURE BWOW
The blood is the life! and when any foreign or un
healthy matter gets mixed with ir, it is all at once dis
tributed to every organ of thehody. Every nervefeels
the Nista. and ali the vital organs quickly complain.—
The stomach will not digest the fond perfectly. The
liver ceases to secrete a -difiriency of bile. The action
of the heart is weakened, and so the circulation is fee
ble. The lungs become clogged with the poisonous mat
ter; hence. a cough—and all from a slight impurity at
the tountain-head of life—the Blood? As if you had
thrown some earth, for instance, in a pure spring. from
which ran a tiny rivulet, in it few minutes the whole
course of the stream becomes disturbed and discolored.
As quickly does Impure blood Hy to every part, and
leave its stint , behind. the passages become ob
structed, and unless the obstruction is removed, the
lamp of life soon dies oat.
These pills not only purify the blood, bnt regenerate
all the secretions of the body ; they ars, therefore, un
rivalled as a
CURE FOR BILIOUS DISEASES,
Liver Complaint, Sick Headache, &c. This Anti-Balms
Medicine expels from the blood the bidden seeds of dim.
ease, and renders all the fluids and secretions pure and
fluent, clearing and resuscitating the vital organs.
Pleasant indeed, is it to us, that we are able to place
within your reach, a medicine like the.:4OI7NTAIN HUB
PaLS . ," that will pass directly to the selieted parts,
through the blood and fluids of the tr•dy, and cause the
auflbrer to brighten aril% the dash ofheattOrmid health.

GREAT FEMALE MEDICINE!
Females who value health, should never be without

made, were discovered iu a very surprising way among
the Tetucatas, a tribe of Aborigines in Mexico. Get the
Almanac of our Agent, and you will read with delight,
the very interesting account it contains of thu "ORCAT
