IRON WORKS. —We see that several new
furnaces are being erected in different parts
of the State. Any one disposed to go into the
Iron business, can find two furnaces in this j
county, both eligibly situated and with many
advantages for the manufacture of pig metal,
♦ other of which, we presume, can be purchas
ed or rented.
MOMTMENT TO GOV. SUCKS.—Notwithstand
ing the professions of regard, so fulsoinelv made
by the iocofocos after Gov. Shunks death, we
perceive that but £305.54 have been subscribed
for erecting a monument to bis memory.—
When it is borne in mind that a portion of the
above amount was subscribed by whigs, every
man can make his own commentary on the esti
mation in which they stem to hold him, now that
i.e has no offices to bestow.

of the Legislature for the construction of a

twenty-three new cases and nine deaths by
i cholera, reported for the 24 hours ending on

The New York letter of Monday afternoon,
published in the Philadelphia Inquirer says—
Our city papers have very prudently thrown
cold water upon the reports heretofore made,
but the fact can no longer be concealed that
the Cholera is in our midst, and daily doing its
, work of death. People are leaving the city by
hundreds, and it is probable in a few days many
! ot our most fashionable localities will be al
most entirely deserted. Every disinfecting
agent ever thought or heard of is brought into
requisition, hut in many places from the filth in
the streets the stench is horrible. 1 have just
1 heard of a case of cholera which occurred in
Twenty-Ninth street, in a high ana healthy
i position, and where no one would suppose an
epidemic would reach. It proved latal in about
three hours after the first symptoms were fell.
In Brooklyn, for the 13 hours ending Mon
day, 9 A. M., four cases and two deaths were
reported.
At Aliilville. A". J., there has been one fat ti
ease of cholera.
In Jamaica, Long Island, there were two fa
tal cases of cholera on Sunday.
At Cold Spring 1 , N. Y., there were three
cases of cholera on Sunday.
At Goshen, N. Y., one case of cholera re

We give below an address from the Penn
sylvania Society to the clergy and heads oi
churches, respecting the colonization of the
African race in the land of their fathers. The .
agent, Rev. WM. A. IIALL, designs to call on
our citizens throughout the county for aid in ;
this undertaking, which is well adapted to ;
mitigate their present position in Society. In
a lecture cn Colonization, delivered in the Me
thodist Church on Sunday evening last, he
gave a glowing description of the Republic of
Liberia, which was represented as a nourish
ing Commonwealth, rejoicing in numerous
Churches, Scnools, two public presses, A:c., ail
under the supervision and control of colored
men alone.
ADDRESS
TJ the Clerpj and lhads of Churches of Pennsyl
vania.
We make, once more, our annual appeal to
your Christian charity and patriotism, on behalf
i of our brethren of the African race. These
: peoph in the I 'nitcrl States, are either enslaved
or subjected to political and social disqualifica
tions. In every point of view, they are
tled to our sympathies, and to systematic efforts
under religious and legal guidance, for their re
lief and elevation. Good men in the different
sections of our country, differ both as to the
•; means by which these results arc to be obtained,
j and as to the time at which they are obtainable.
In controversy on these points, we are not cal
led to engage. Of the necessity of ameliora
tion, and of our duty to aid in it, there can be,
; however, but one opinion. Tb ' religious in
-1 struction should be the beginning of ail at
tempts of this nature, is also undoubted. Hap
pily, just now, in all parts of the I nion the
people of the African race, whether actually
' bondsmen, in what are called the slave states,
i or nominally free, in what are termed the free
states, arc "objects of systematic attention in
this particular. The next steps are their liber
! ation from slavery and their political and social
regeneration.
In Pennsylvania, an example, it might be sup
posed, would by this time have been set in fa
vor of the last step. But alas, we need not say
how slow iias hitherto been the progress of re
generation —how little has been the consistency
between the practice and the professions of the
governing or white race. Worse still! Wc
see hut a faint prospect of any very material
improvement, so far as regards placing the
colored race on a looting of real equality with
the white race.
But if the entire problem be difficult of solu
tion here at home, it is not so everywhere else.
As Pennsylranians we cannot directly enforce,
nor, beyond suitable mild exhortation, urge
emancipation within the borders of the slave
j states. If, however, concessions be made in
these states, in favor of ultimate liberation of
> their slaves, if they admit, even in a qualified
sense, the right of the black man, and still
more, if they agree to allow him a field for the
untrammelled exercise of his faculties, surely
■ we, in the North, ought not to hold back either
' the language of encouragement, or the pecuni
-1 ary aid, to give greater effect to these views of
I our southern fellow citizens.
All these promised benefits are procurable,
they have been already to a certain extent pro
cured by the instrumentality of African Coloni
zation. Already, by this means, have colonies
been planted in Western Africa; and lastyiar
we have seen the principal of these colonies.
Liberia, take its stand among the nations of the
earth. By two of the most powerful of these,
Great Britain and France, has its independence
been recognized, and its new government treat
ed with all possible comity arid respect.
A home is now offered to the down-trodden
children of Africa, where they will be secure
in the enjoyment of personal and political free
dom, and find incentives for the exercise of all
the best faculties of their nature. Slaveholders
have manumitted their slaves in large numbers,
seeing now that emancipation can be made a
reality, by the new freedom becoming citizens
of Liberia, with the opportunities there offered
to them, of reaching the highest offices in the
state, and an active participation in all the ben
efits of its educational and religious institutions.
The Colonization Societies are now exempt
from the responsibilities and expenses incident
to the direction of affairs in Liberia, and the
support of a government there. As an inde
pendent republic, il takes all this under its own
control; and so far its action has been attended
with the inost gratifying results. The chief and
almost sole duty of the Societies consists in
procuring means, and giving facilities for the
emigration of the free colored people of these
I nited States to Liberia in Western Africa;
and in guarantying to them the possession of a
certain quantity of land for settlement, and
provi- ion for their support during the first six
months after arrival.
In order to enable the American Colonization
Society, and the Pennsylvania and other tstate
Societies, acting either as auxiliiary to or in
conjunction with it, to carry out with any de
gree of efficiency, their benevolent operations,
funds to a large amount are requisite. For
procuring these they rely on the support of the
Churches and the benevolence of individuals;
and never was there a worldly enterprise that
had stronger claims on both. Its missionary
and educational aspects arc well stated in the
sermon in the present number of this paper, to
the perusal of which we earnestly invite you.
Imbued with its t hristian and benevolent and
patriotic views, and cognizant of the fact that
thousands of our colored brethren are only
waiting for the means to be furnished by the
Colonization Societies, to emigrate to Liberia,
there to enjoy what they cannot here, your aid
will not he withheld. Mor will it he merely
given, unaccompanied with cordial wishes and
prayers for the success of our cause, which is
that of humanity, of justice, of religion, both
here, and ultimately throughout all Africa, car
rying with it atonement for past wrongs to an
injured race, and a determination to elevate and
enlighten it, beyond the probability of any sub
sequent mischance or degradation.
Again we would say, that our treasury re
quires to be largely replenished ; to enable us
to aid the Parent Hocicty to fulfil existing con
tracts, without taking into calculation the rapid
ly increasing demand on it, by the accumulating
crowds of applicants for passage to Liberia.—
Colonization th raid.
Eiictitirase your own Citizens.
The subjoined remarks from the Canton (O.)
Repository, on the subject of home support, are
applicable too all localities:
To protect and support each other is the first
duty of every community. Man, however rich j
or poor, is a dependant creature, and conse- i
ipier.tly bound to employ Ins own neighbors of
other professions, or those more distant. Home j
■utv—" Buy where you can buy cheapest, and I
sell where you can get most''—but it is a false j
dogma.—Mechanics and traders generally have j
families to support, and when tiicy locate in a '
town they dcsiri to make it a permanent resi
dence. When they do so, the citizens of that j
town we hold are bound, when they have oeca- i
sion for employing one, to look around, and if j
you can find one at home, who willVork at tea- !
sonablc prices, employ him, for by giving active >
employment to all around you, the whole com- f
munity is benefitted. In addition to this, it pro
duces a business like aspect, a home market is
created for farmers, and general prosperity 1
prevails. If you want a pair of shoes or boots,
a carriage, a hat, a coat, or anything in the !
mechanical line, go to your neighbor for it.
t ioiiig abroad tor such articles as your own me
chanics can produce, will ruin any town—and
the practice is too prevalent
Correspondence of the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May '-20, 1849.
MI-. EDITOR: The ruin has been pouring
down in torrents for three days past, and out
door business is at a stand, so that 1 have but
little of news to communicate. The work of
purifying the government still goes on, and 1
observe trom the papers this morning that Mr.
Evving the able and efficient Secretary of the
Department of the Interior lias been making
another step forward in the good work, ra
ther Ritchie will deliver himself of another
whine, and the next Union will of course con
tain a continuation of the " Lives of the Mar
tyrs." liocofocoistn dies hard, if we can form
an opinion from the groans that reach through
their journals from different sections ct the
country. The "spoils" of office have become
endeared to them from years ot association,
and power and plunder they now think their
ine.lienable right. But we hail the dawn of a
new era, when honesty and capacity are to be
the tests of a man's fitness tor office, and not
the services he has rendered party, or an ad
herence to any corrupt clique or faction, Gen.
, Taylor will redeem all his pledges to the peo
ple, and the croakingsof such things as George
Lippard will not for a moment divert him from
the straight-forward policy he is determined to
pursue. The author of the " Quaker City"
might find a more profitable investment lor
his ink and paper, in catering for the diseased
taste of the abandoned inmates of brothels and
groggeries, than in addressing his impudent
epistles to the President of the United States.
I have always entertained for himself and his
productions feelings ot supreme contempt, and
I am now satisfied I did not do him injustice.
It is rumored that a number of changes will
take place in the Chiefs of the Bureaus here,
during the month of June. S. W. Pearson,
Esq., of Somerset, and recently Clerk of the
Pennsylvania Senate, is named in connection
with the Auditorship of the Post Office De
partment. and if appointed will make an ex
cellent officer. I have no doubt his selection
, would be satisfactory to our triends throughout
the State, and be received with gladness by
the " Frosty Sons of Thunder,of which fami
i ily he is a' valuable member. Peter Hagner,
Esq., the Third Auditor of the '1 reasury, it is
hoped will resign, and thus save the Administr
ation the necessity of removinghim. iieliaoLeen
in office fir about forty years, has accumulated
i a fortune, provided places under the govern-
merit for three or lour of his sons find a host ot j
relatives; is now entirely unfit for the per
formance of his official unties. having' in a
great measure lost Ins memory and business
ca;aciti<fi ami relying solely on the advice
and assistance ot others. '1 lie Hrst Comp
troller, Mr. VcCalla, lias tendered his resig
nation, and his successor is not yet named.
There is also a rumor that Judge \uung, Com
missioner of the Land Office, has resigned, and
his place will be filled by a gentleman from
lllino:?. The Chief Clerkship of ih„- Treasu
ry Department has by general consent ot the
public been given to George Harrington. Esq.,
the present gentlemanly and efficient private
Secretary of Mr. Meredith. The office is now
vacant in consequence of the withdrawal of
McClintock Young, and it is hoped by all here
that Mr. Harrington's claims and services will
not be overlooked when the appointment i
made. The new Commissioner of Paten's has
entered upon his duties, and appointed a
Lawrence, of Michigan, his principal Clerk.
A number ot the drone* now snugly housed in
tl at branch, will soon get a polite notice that
their " services are no longer required." The
Patent Office you know is under Mr. Ewing's
supervision, and he never does things by halvea
There are a number of vacancies in the Clerk
ship# of the Treasury Department, which I
piesume will be filled about the first proximo.
Mr. Meredi'h has been so much engrossed
with business ot more importance, that he has
not as yet made a single subordinate appoint
ment here: but now that the Collectqrships,
&c. of our principal ciiics have been filled, he
will set about the regulation of things at home.
The disturbed etato ot Europe and the delicate
position of our foreign relations will keep Mr.
Clayton wide awake, and require his most
caretul attention to steer safely through the
breakers that are ahead. But he has the abili
ty, and with a man of his mind at the helm,
we have noth'tig to fear. It is generally con
ceded that Abbott Lawrence will go to Eng
land as minister, &c.
The Cholera is gradually approaching us,
and there is a rumor this morning that it has
already made its appearance amongst the citi
! z MIS of Washington. This, however, lam in
i clined to doubt, as there is no official announce
ment of the fact. 15y a private letter from St.
Louis 1 learn that its ravages there have been
fearfully beyond the newspaper reports. 1
sincerely hope tfiat this "pestilence that walk
etii in darkness and wasteth at noon-day," may
not visit your town, spreading suffering and
death in its wake.
Our mutual friend Sunt ZOOK, Esq., has
been on u visit to this city during the past
week, and received marked attentions from
the President and the members of the cabinet
whom lie visited.
Any of your citizens visiting Washington
will find comfortable quarters and reasonable
charges at the boarding house of J. T. M'Duf
fie, on Pennsylvania Avenue, near the Kail
road Depot, where I shall be happy to meet
my acquaintances from "Little Mirtiin." Mure

For the Gazette.
Mr. Editor—While one portion ot our popu
i latum is engaged in renovating the military
! spirit which died about the time the war with
Mexico commenced, 1 propose to form another
portiun into a regular corps, so that the busi
ness may be conducted in a more systematic
manner than it has been. From the lot who
j congregate at the usual place every Sunday
i evening, 1 huve no doubt the number wan
ted will be obtained without difficulty. You
will therefore please to insert the following
. advertisement :
WANTED.—One hundred and seventy-live i
Yong Men, of all aha pes and sizes, from tlie tall
graceful dandy, with hair enough on his upper
lip to stuff a ensiling, down to the beardless i
upstart. The object is to form a GAPING (LIMES; !
to bo in attendance at the Methodist church ;
door on each Sabbath evening, before and at'
ter divine service,to starc.it the females as
they outer, make gentlemanly and delicate re
marks on their persons and dress, swear an oc
casional oath arid now and then indulge in a
species of low blackguardism to be known on- 1
iv by the members. All who wish to enlist in :
too above corps, will please to appear at the
(burch door next Sabbath evening where they
will be duly inspected, and their names, per
sonal appearance, etc., registered in a book
kept for that purpose, and publit-hed in the
newspapers To prevent a general rush, it
will be well to slate that none will be enlisted
who pouaess more than ordinary intellectual
capacities.
The meetings will, after Sunday next, be
regularly held, under command-of the oftieers !
who may be elected. SOI,. SWOP .

FES ER AND AGCE.— Last summer (says the
New York Evening Post) an Irish girl, on Long
Island, attacked with a fever and ague after be
ing two or three times cured, as it was called,
by'quinine, impatient at the obstinate recur
rence of the disorder, ran in the height of the
fever and jumped into a mill pond with her
clothes on ; she came out cured ; the disorder
• never returned. An Ohio practitioner of the
name of Cook adopts a similar practice ; our
readers are aware that with the learned it is
called hydropathy. The editor of the Lafayette
Daily Journal thus describes the method in his
1 own case :
'He literally dragged me from my bed ;
i forced me under a shower-bath while the chill
was full on me, my lips, nose, and fingers pur
ple ; my teeth chattering, and my whole con
vulsed body giving terrible evidence of the se
: vere nature of the malady. There he held me,
changing my positions under the drip for more
than a minute— AND THE CHILL WAS GONE 1 It ,
was the second, and of congestive type, that I
had had in the space of five hours. Next, he
put me under warm blankets. I slept for over
an hour. Finding the fever to be consuming
me, he again pulled me out of lied and forced
