SMALL NOTES. — Our readers will do
well to bear in mind that the law against
notes under S5 (excepting relief notes)
will go into operation on the 21st day ol
August. As we have a considerable sum
to make up during the ensuing month, we
shall take them until the 20th of August,
either for subscription, advertising, or job
work. This notice will be sufficient, we
hope, to induce persons indebted to call
and make payment, especially those who
have been on our books for years.
- Much of our space in to-day's Ga

called lorth by the decease of President

that a more general expression of regret
and sympathy for one now universally ac
knowledged as both great and good, lias
been seldom exhibited.

cone rogation rofe and left the church.
PKESIDEVT FILLMORE.
The testimony which we subjoin, re
specting the character of the new Presi
dent, will be read with interest and grati
fication :
The New \ ork Courier says—
Mr. FILLMORE is a man in whom the whole
Union may repose a lirtn ami juet confidence.
His life has been, less conspicuously than Gen.
TAYLOR'S, devoted to the service of the whole
Union, and he is no less thoroughly than ho is
national in all his feelings, in all his principles,
and in all his conduct. He is familiar with pub
lic affairs, and has discharged the duties of evcry
stalion which he has been summoned to till, with
ability, dignity and success. We feel the utmost
confidence that, so far as may depend upon him,
the highest duties of the great oifiee into which
he has been so solemnly inducted, w ill he dis
charged with the most entire faithfulness and
the most patriotic devotion to the preservation
and the welfare of our glorious Union.
The New York Globe (l)em.) says—
The talents and business qualifications of Mr.
FILLMORE are of a high order, and we believe
that they who hope or fear that he may manifest
any sectional bias, will be disappointed. Such
is our information of his opinions, indeed such
our know ledge of the inan that we do not hesi
tate to predict that he will give no cause for the
South to continue its reproaches against the
North, and atford no countenance to the fanati
cal agitators of the North, lie will have a glo
rious opportunity of enrolling his name high on
the list of our patriots, if he but follows the
course which they who know him best are con
fident he will pursue—viz: that which shall
soonest and most effectually tranquili/.e the pub
lic mind, and insure the perpetuity of the Union.
The annexed quotation in from the New
York Express :
Mr. "FILLMORE will prove a man equal to the
times, lie is a statesman of the old school,
free from prejudices, passions, extreme opinions
end high excitements. He is a conservative, a
national and true man, one w ho has no sectional
biases, will indulge in no ultra acts and give
utterance to no offensive opinions. He will, if
aided by the Congress of the United States and
the American people, as he should be, so ad
minister the Government as to bring honor to
the Aministration. peace to the country, and
blessings upon the people. We hope devoutly
that he may receive such aid, and that counsels
of wisdom, of prudence, of moderation, of jus
tice, and of patriotism may be found equally in
the Executive and Legislative branches of the
Government. Never was there more occasion
for guidance from Omniscience, and for forbear
ance aDd kindness among all our people.
Mr. Fillmore has a large experience, great
tolerance and a true and noble heart, to aid him
in the discharge of his duties. He will be found
true to the people of the whole country, and if
there is any failure in conciliating the country,
and in restoring order out of confusion, and
peace out of strife, it will not rest at his door.
We hope that Congress will harmonize with
him", and co-operate with hirri in settling the
many perplexed questions which now so unhap
pily divide the country and disturb its peace and
prosperity.
In regard to Mr. FILLMORE'S opinions
on slavery, we find them stated in a cor
respondence that took place between Mr.
GAYLE, of Mobile, and himself, in the
year 1818. He avows himself in favor of
the right of petition, and says :
" The rule upon which 1 acted was, that every
citizen presenting a respectful petition te the
body that, by the Constitution, had the power to
grant or refuse the prayer of it, was entitled to
be heard ; and therefore the petition ought to be
received and considered. If right, and reason
able, the prayer of it should be granted ; but if
wrong or unreasonable, it should be denied.''
lie further says—
" While in Congress, I took occasion to state
in substance tny views on the subject of Slavery
in the States. Whether the remarks were re
ported or not, I am unable to say ; but the sub
stance was that I regarded slavery as an evil,
but one with which the National Government
had nothing to do. That by the Constitution of
the United States, the whole power over that
question was vested in the several States where
the institutions were tolerated. If they regarded
it as a blessing, they had a Constitutional right
to enjoy it, and if they regarded it as an evil,
they had the power, and knew best how to ap
ply the remedy. I did not conceive that Con
gress had any power over it, or was in any way
responsible for its continuance in the several
States where it existed."
On the subject of the slave trade be
tween the States, he says in a subsequent
letter :
I am not aware that this question has ever
been discussed in Congress, or was ever pre
sented for the consideration of the Supreme
Court of the United States before 1841. in that
jear the celebrated ease from .Mississippi was
decided, when Mr. Justice McLean gave an
elaborate opinion on this point, in which the
Chief Justice concurred. lie came to the con
clusion that the constitutional power over this
matter was vested in the several States, and not
in Congress. So far as my knowledge extends,
this opinion carried conviction to every unpre
judiced mind, and the question was considered
settled. At any rate this was ray own opinion
then, and I have seen no causo to change it
since."

IMPORTANT TREATIES. —it is stated that
two treaties of considerable importance
w.cre negotiated under the direction ol (tcn
r ral Taylor just before his death, but were
not concluded, and will doubtless be ap
proved by his successor. One was with
Mexico, for the extradition of fugitives
from justice, upon the principle contained
in the treaties with Franee and England ;
and the other was with Peru, for commerce
in <<uano, on a footing with the most fa
vored nations. This privilege has been
heretofore monopolized almost exclusive
ly by (treat Britain. It will be of great
value to the agricultural interests and "par
ticularly to the benefit of several of the old

In pursuance of a call issued by the Chief
Burm ss, a meeting of the citizens of Lewis
town was held at the Town Hall on Friday
evening, 12th instant, for the purpose of adop
ting suitable measures as a testimonial of re
spect to the memory of President Taylor. At
the hour named Dr. T. A. WORRALL, Chief
Burgess, took the chair, and brielly announced
the object for which the meeting had been
called; whereupon Gen. R. C. Hale, Hon. E.
Lianks, Moses Montgomery, David McClure,
David llloom, and Joseph M. Cogley, Ksqrs.,
were appointed Vice Presidents, and George
Frysinger, J. L. Mcllvainc, H. J. Walters,
and It. it. Franks, Esq., named as Secretaries.
On motion, the following gentlemen were
appointed a committee to draft resolutions ex
pressive of the foldings of the citizens of Lew
istown on the sudden and unexpected demise
of the patriotic chieftain who had been called
by the American people to preside over their
councils, viz: Col. 1). S. Elliott, Henry Sto
ner, Esq., Col. John Hamilton, N. .1. Uudisil,
D. M. Coutner, Win. Russell, Esqrs., and
Col. W. Butler—who, after a short absence,
reported the following preamble and resolu
tions, which were unanimously adopted:
Whereas , it hath pleased that Providence
who sends joy and sorrow to bless and to chas
ten his creatures, by a dispensation, suddi n and
afflictive, to take from this nation ZACIIARV
i'A\ LOR, its Chief Magistrate.
! Jind uhtrcas. this melancholy event has cast
j a shade of sadness on the face of the nation,
; and she mourns and sits in tears for the deso-
I lation ol iier high place—her children meet in
i groups to bewail their common loss—then is
I it not beautiful and natural, is it not a mourn
ful and pleasant privilege for us to give ex
| pression to the best emotions of the heart, in a
| feeble tribute of respect for the virtues ol the
, departed—for the truly good and great desire
1 no other tribute than the few rich offerings of
the heart—therefore:
Resolved, that we have learned with un
feigned sorrow, of the death of ZACHAKY
j TAYLOR, whilst exercising the trust reposed
| in him by the people of this Republic, as its
Chief Magistrate; that wo deeply lament his
demise as a great national calamity, and desire
to unite the voice of our mourning with that of
our fellow citizens, throughout the land.
Resolved, that in the death of Zachary Tay
j lor, this country has lost a brave soldier from
i the field, a firm patriot from its councils, and
an inestimable citizen from the walks of pri
} vate life.
| Resolved, that the unimpeachable private
character of President Taylor, and his many
, social virtues, his honesty and stern integrity,
! command our respect, and are well worthy U ur
j emulation.
Resolved, that we offer our sympathies and
condolence to his bereaved family and friends,
and desire to mingle our tears with those most
sadly stricken by this dispensation of Divine
Providence.
Resolved, that to-morrow at 11 o'clock being
the time appointed for the funeral of our late
lamented President, our citizens he requested
to close tin ir places o f business, between the
hours of 11 and 3 o'clock, and that the bells
he tolled during the interval.
During the evening, addresses were deliv
ered hv (i. \\. Kidcr, Ksq.. and Hon. K.
Banks, both of whom paid a high tribute to
(he noble old hero who now reposes in his last
sleep.
Resolved, that these proceedings he pub

istown, and a copy lorwardedjo the family of
Gen. Taylor.
J. A. .Mathews, C. Hoover, and M. Buoy,

pended from 1 1 until 3 o'clock, during
which time the streets were literally de
serted, and no sound heard save the mourn
ful peals of tolling bells.
ADDRESS

I.ewistoivn, Pa., July 1 'Mil 1850, in
reference to the death of the President
oj the ( nit id States.
j BY ItKV. J. MOOKE.
AN hen in the Providence of (od, death
! striken down tin; nation's head, it is natural
and becoming in a religious community tocon
i sidtr the event as a call, and a v ry solemn
! call to tlte people, not to he neglected or soon
j forgottc n.
It is a time for mourning. \\ hatever mty
I lie the design ot Infinite YY isdotn toward the
' Nation in the removal of our honored and
much loved Chief Magistrate, the event itself
occasions a soh-mn and significant pause in
' our public alfairs, and our private affairs, also,
! which we hasten to improve.
Cod has eonie near to the American Nation.
; 1 he wheels oi (Government, driving heavily of
late, are arrested altogether, by the only Puw-
r that can arrest them, the hand of Omnipo
tenee. The prineipal one is indeed finally ar
j rested—the rest feel temporarily the shock.
The lesson now taught us is, not to put our
trust in princes, nor in the son of man in whom
is no help. His breath departs—lie returns
to his dust. The present is an epoch of grave,
j very grave character. YV hat events are on the
w heels ot I tivine 1 'rovidence who can portend?
YY hile our hearts do not fail us for fear,
| we cannot but seriously enquire what the end
will be.
Altho' no prophet, yet if enquired of, at this
dark hour, what of the. night? YVe might not
unreasonably say, as one of old said, the night
corneth—darker days are in our national hor
oscope—tho' in cheerful hope, we might ven
j ture to add, the day also coincth.
Life and history are hut light and shade,
mingled in various degrees, and sometimes
the darkest hour is just, before the dawn.
Death loves a shining mark, and his arche
ry has shot down the hero, the patriot, the.
man of humanity, the President, around whom
cluster many beautiful reminiscences—-nation
al, military and civic associations, somewhat
rare in real life. True, his death, considering
the course of nature was not premature, for lie
had rear bed a good old age, and full o! honors
he has gone to the grave, l'ut cd' these wo
leave others to speak. His eventful life is
spent, and the page of his country's history
will not fail to do justice to his valor, firmness,
prudence humanity, and political and social
virtues. His death removes him beyond the
reach of our sympathies,.praise or censure.
To him it is of small consequence to have
been applauded or condemned by his fellow
men—and if only prepared to die, as he said
he was, in that event lie has obtained a wreath
of immortal glory, and one which he will own
to he of grace, and which he will cheerfully
cast at his Saviour's feet.
And in the victory won by him over the last
enemy, will he confess the power and the glo
ry all to be the Lord's, and not his own.
What a lesson do we here learn! The con
queror in every battle he fought, is himself as
weak as others in conflict with the last enetny.
Hi re, weapons of v. ar, bristling bayonets, skill
in military science are nothing—patience, res
ignation, faith, are every thing.
What room for envy, what occasion for ri
valry and competition for the honor that com
eth from man is there? Reason and religion
jointly say, none! That we must die we
know—and the reason of it we know—humb
ling to the piidu of us all is the event itself, —
yet not more so than its cause.
By one man sin entered into the world, and
death by sin, and so death passed upon all men,
for that all have sinned!
< -an place or station or age plead exemption
for itself from the comprehensive fact? Norn?!
What then is our consolation, and what our
hope? That of the Gospel only. "That, not
as the offence, so also is the free gift—for if
thro' the olFenee of one many he dead, much
more the grace of tied, and the gift by grace
hath abounded unto many!" Die we must,
may soon, may suddenly. May we obtain
life and eternal salvation thro' the great medi
ator.
Are we riot impressively called on to con
sider and lay to heart our last hour, and the
solemnities of an hereafter? A whole nation
should ho aroused to reflection, Cabinet offi
cers, Senators, Representatives, and all sorts
and conditions of persons—and much as we
deplore the event that brings us hither to day,
if it shall have the elfect of making men in of
fice and men. out of office feel the solemnity ol
death and their accountability, and effectually
iireak the charm of worldly things, it will
ever he remembered as having accomplished
more for the best interests of the people than
all the previous life of our worthy Chief Ma
gistrate ever did or could.
Address of H. Elder, F-q.
FELLOW Cirizr.xs :—We have laid aside our
business, and left a ripe harvest in the field, to
meet in Uiis hallowed place—to mingle with the
wail of sorrow which goes up from this nation's
heart, the voice of prayer and the song of praise
—for no other voice, nor any other song, is kin
dred to the deep leeling which this event inspires.
The alilictive providence which has bereft this
land of its Magistrate—which has laid low its
mighty one, 44 loosened the silver cord," and
broken our curious pitcher at the well—seems
to say, " This is a time for the heart to feel
rather than for the tongue to speak."
But whilst these States mourn their loss, the
thought that " all is still well" should inspire us
with the deepest thankfulness; for when the
rulers of other nations lay down their power, it
is often taken up soiled u ith the dust and stained
with the blood of carnage, amidst the noise of
battle and in sight of armies, who, sick of toil
and blood, lean heavily on their spears. But
we have seen no such sad drama. The sceptre
of our power fell from the hand of General
Taylor, who for the first time grew too we£k to
wield any sceptre in the world, as noiselessly as
41 a snow flake falls upon the sod"—the pride of
the highest place, and a power well suited to
dazzle the eye, passed to Fillmore silently,
peacefully and beautifully as a summer cloud
passes from the lace of a morning sky.
Born near the close of our Revolution, w hen
the cradle hymns of every child were the songs
of Liberty—when every mother taught the infant
upon her lap that she claimed its fir-t, its purest
love ; and, after hers, then came its country's
claim—he appeared upon the stage of life at a
propitious moment to fulfil the high destiny in
store fur him. Imbued with these early lessons,
after the teelings of the child had deepened into
the principles of the man, is it strange that
Xachary Taylor should carry through life a de
votion to hia country of the most fervid kind—
should ever carry into all his acts an integrity
and purity of purpose which must be admired
whilst these virtues, which so adorn and give
loveliness to the human character, are esteemed
good or beautiful among men r Nor was it
strange that he enjoyed, in an unusual degree,
the confidence of all parties. Even the bitter
spirit of party never cast reproach upon his
honesty ; if he erred, all felt that it was a frail
lrtak of the head, and not the heart. His firm
ness—that moral power which best separates the
little lroni the great—has often been tried on the
battle field, where the strong man may at times
swerve, and laltcr, and fail ; but in this respect
he never felt the touch of infirmity. Others
might lean on his arm ; hut for himself, he relied
on his own self-sustaining power.
For the great and good to die, whether in
public or in private life, is a subject to be
mourned; hut for n Chief Magistrate to die,
in whom all the elements of moral power
seemed so well and so fitly blended, is a provi
dence before which a nation may well pause,
and with subdued feelings deplore its loss.
In this time of trouble, when new and exciting
questions of policy distract and divide our na
tional councils—now when angry prejudices and
bitter sectional feeling has made one portion of
our family look with distrust upon the other—do
we need the military firmness of Gen. Taylor—
need his hand to pour oil upon the troubled wa
ters, if that would allay them; and if not, then
there would seem need for a voice like his to be
beard along the waters say ing 41 peace, be still."
It was the request of a great man once that
no one should write his epitaph, for he said none
knew him. 80 let none attempt the epitaph of
Taylor, for he has himself inscribed it 011 the
hearts of all the living in a dialect bright and
enduring as the stars. Nor let any try to sketch
the simple virtues which adorned his private
life, for these his modesty concealed from men ;
and let the man who writes the history of his
public life, study well to lead bis reader along
that bright and brilliant career which has so
lately and so well surprised the world.
But see the Chieftain in his last battle, 44 where
the tears of the brave and the follies of the wise
are seen," —hear him utter those words *0 full
of truth and beauty, while his mind busied itself
amid the scenes of his past life, 14 1 have always
tried to do my duty"—and Hsten to those other
words, so simple and so beautiful that they sound
like the prattle of a child, 41 Mv onlv regret is
lor the li iends I leave behind me." These were
the words of that man for whose brow his coun
try hal woven her choicest garlands, and 011
w hose grave she sheds her tears,
" For there's a tear for all who die—
A mourner o'er the humblest grave ;
Ilut Nations swell the funeral cry,
And Triumph weeps above the brave."
* v~ Nothing is yet known about the new

DROWNED. —Coronor Davis held an in

about 25 years of ago, has a mother living
in Ireland, and was engaged in peddling
table cloths, <fcc. It is supposed that he
was deranged at the time. The jury re
turned a verdict of 'accidental death while
wading in the canal.'

The news by the steamer lliberniu is not of
much importance. Russia, as the great power
of the North, and next to England, the great
power of the Old World, is quietly scheming
over plans looking to the gradual enlargement
and increased strength of her despotic power.
Everything is quiet in-Germany, but it is said
that a reaction is going on at a tremendous
pace ; but as it is the pace that kills, it is not
unlikely that some of the monarchs will break
their necks in the race towards the gj'od old
times. The King of Prussia has published a
law virtually abolishing liberty of the press;
and he of Saxony has at once suppressed the
whole institution, and gone back to things as
they were in 1931. In Prussia, Saxony, &c.,
the States have got some credit, and there is
still some cash in circulation; but in Austria
money has di.-nppoared. The moment some
luckless foreigner brings a few gold or silver
coins into the country, they vanish, and noth
ing but paper money is to be seen. It is quite
ludicrous, says a correspondent, to just fancy a
bit of dirty printed paper, decorated with the
high sounding title of " Imperial Royal Bank
Note," promising to pay the bearer the enor
mous capital of G kreutzers (English 2Jd)!
"The history of the destiny of th; Austrian
empire is written most eloquently on these
slips of paper—they need no further comment."
