f\ held at Harris burg, on the 251 hof .March,
-V for the purpose of nominating a Canal
Commissioner, forming an Electoral Ticket,
and choosing delegates to the National Con
vention. The Whigs of the various counties of
the 'Commonwealth are hereby notified to elect

County Meeting.
hsillE Whigs of Miffiin county arc invited toat
tend a meeting to be held at Irwin's Hotel
tin SATFRDAY EVENING, March 13th, 1-52,
to appoint a representative delegate to the State
Convention, and, if necessary, conferees to se
lect a senatorial delegate. By order of j
The County Committee.
A considerable quantity of ice is still .
lodged in the canal, and although water
was to have been let in yesterday, naviga
tion will hardly open before the middle or
close of next week.
SURGICAL OPERATION. —James Daley,
who was injured some time since on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, underwent ampu
tation of the right leg above the knee on
Mondav last, at the County Poor House,
in the presence of the directors, Messrs. ■
Wakefield, Mathews and Brown. Ihe
patient, who is doing well, was under the ;
inllucnce of chloroform, and was entirely
insensible to pain. The operation was
performed in one minute and a half by
Dr. Worrall, assisted by Drs. Mat tin and
Herring.
The locomotive, tender and baggage
car of the Tuesday morning train, were
thrown off the track by n rock near Barre,
Huntingdon county, and plunged into the
river. Some ol the passengers who were
smoking cigars in the baggage car sud
denly found themselves enjoying a cold ■
bath, in several feet of water. The loco
motive it is thought will be got out without
much damage.
The Canal Commissioners have com
promised with their consciences by order
ing the canals to be closed every Saturday
night at 12 o'clock, and keeping them
closed until Sunday night at that hour,
against all except packet boats. This is
drawing a straight line between the saints
ami sinners.
An able communication in another col- I
limn puts a different face upon the bill for
reducing the tax on tonage than that given
by our neighbor and the Ilarrisburg Key
stone. We know not what are the merits j
or demerits of the bill in question, but A
Taxpayer is evidently conversant with
the subject, and hence his statements are ,
entitled to consideration.
SARTAIN has issued four numbers of his
Magazine this year, with illustrations in
each that are worth more than the price
of subscription. The Morning Bath, in
the January number: View of the Capi
tol and Columbus and his Companions, in
the February ; Raffaclle and the For
narina, in the March ; and the Magic
Lake, in the April number, arc all of an ,
order of merit seldom met with, lit lite

his Magazine for those months comprising
a rich fund of highly meritorious matter.
Additional inducements to subscribe are
offered in the adverusment published in I

Legislature since our last. Numerous pe
titions in iavor ol the Maine Liquor Law
■continue to pour in from ail parts ol the
State, and on ft vote in the Senate to refer

Maine Law.

"jiii for regulating the public works have
passed the Senate by decisive votes.
Our representative sent us word the

.hereafter don't pass any such bills until
you are sure they are wanted, and then

The 4th of March Convention.
This body assembled at Ilarrisburg at
the appointed time, and after duly l.tbor
in,r in the cause, brought fourth ten cents
for President, and seven cents for Canal
Commissioner. Hon. Wm. Hopkins was
appointed President of the convention,
with 21 vice Presidents (Davis Bates
among the number) and eleven Secretaries.
I The preliminaries having been thus ar
ranged, the Buchanan men fell to work,
and in a short time made mince-meal ot
the corporal's guard in favor of Cass, as
the following vote will show :
For Buchanan, 97
" Cass, "'2
" Sain Houston, ~
R. J. Walker, 2
A somewhat unusual resolution was
next adopted to select a committee ot 1
j to report a double set of delegates to the
Baltimore Convention, all to be composed
of firm Buchanan men, with no other pre
! ference. This was violently opposed by
the friends of Cass, and a protest submit
ted. signed bv Davis Bates and others, but
* O
it would not do—the Buchanan men had
the convention in their power, and seemed
determined to make the most oi it. In
fact, they carried their jokes so far, that
not being able to find a proper man for the
! committee of twenty-four among the dele
gates from this congressional district, the
President appointed H. C. Ever. of Fnion
county, to represent it !
On the following day the delegation to
Baltimore was announced, and we dure
say the democracy of this region will be
startled to learn that James Campbell , the
defeated candidate for Judge of the Su
preme Court, and David 11. Porter are
two of the Senatorial delegates. S. F.
Hench, of Juniata, and Judge Wilson, of
! this county, are to represent the 17th dis
trict. For Presidential Elector, James
Burnsidr, of Centre, was named.
The representatives from Blair, Hun
tingdon, Centre and Mifflin, presented tiie
names of Judge A\ ilson as delegate to the
National Convention, and S. T. Shugert,
of Centre, as elector, but the convention
quietly laid the paper on the table.
The convention next proceeded to bal
lot for Canal Commissioner, and Mr. Sea
right, having gained some favor among the
Buchanan men by offering a resolution to
confirm the nomination of Buchanan unan
imously (hut which thirty of the Cass
men would not do,) the question was soon
decided. Mr. BATES, forgetting that the
county convention had declared for Jesse
IE Crawfurd, Esq., voted for Jack Cum
mins on the first hallot. but on the second,
third, and fourth stuck to Searight. The
last vote stood as follows :
Wm. Searight, of Favette, 77
(1. T. Mason, 117
11. S. Mott, 10
J. B. Bratton, 8
The Convention then, after returning
sundry thanks and passing a resolution
that the Cass men having been " decently
licked, ought to submit like men," ad
journed.
The editor of the Bedford Gazette, hav
ing condemned some of Governor Bigler's
anointments, and snarled a little at the Ca
nal Commissioners, is now receiving kicks
from all quarters. A correspondent of the
True Democrat gives him a dig or two be
neath the ribs, and the Huntingdon Globe
recommends him to grease his puffing ma
chine until the springs commence opera
tions, when*he can again lather visiters
, &
with the usual " thaft thoap." We sus
pect il Governor Bigler had appointed
Geo. W. Bowman Adjutant General, it
would have been all right.
STOP THAT CTTTING ! —The superinten
dent of the Columbia and Philadelphia

that no cross ties will be received the pres
ent year, and adds that " those who have

had better cease operations." \\ hat's

The Maine Liquor Law has been defeated in
the New Jcr'cy Legislnture, by a vote of 46 to
12, on the ground that it ,s impracticable and
oat of its latitude.
The Washington correspondent of the
North American, savs that "since the
opening of the session there has been an
apparent struggle between the two houses
of Congress, as to which should go further
in appropriating the public lands. I bus
far, the race has been nearly equal ; for
both have exerted themselves to a remark
able extent, in the expectation of courting
' favor with the new Stales. The only ob
servable difference between the competitors ;
lias been that, while the members of the ;
Senate who exerted themselves most con
spicuously were seeking popularity for the
Presidency, those in the House engaged
in the same enterprise were endeavoring to j
take care ol themselves. Of all the ques
tions of the day. this one of the public
lands has been made to answer the most ;
corrupt purposes of party : and its inime-
I diate influence has done more to contami
nate political society than all the other
means which have been employed. In
stead of adopting some fair principle of
j distribution, or of equalizing the grants, j
every new State in which valuable land is ,
located has m ule its individual bid for con
sideration, and in this way millions upon j
millions of acres have been voted, without
any regard to the policy to which Con
gress was daily committing itself. If the
: old States cannot be taken into the account
of indiscriminate appropriation, as they
ought to be, there is great force in the states- i
manlike suggestion which Senator Hell
threw out the other day, of applying all 1
such resources to the strengthening of the
national fortifications, and to an increase of
the Naval establishment. A commercial
nation is rendered most formidable and se
cure, when its flag floats over the ocean
with an undoubted capability to redress
any indignity that may be offered, and to
assert every right that may consistently be
claimed. There is every reason why we
*
should feel a just pride in our navy, and
abundant inducements of policy, under the
threatening aspect of affairs in Europe,
why it should he placed in such a condi
tion of strength as to stand before the
world ready for any emergency that may
chance to occur. Prejudices have been
most unjustly excited against this great arm
of the national defence by those who have !
: either not taken the pains to investigate its
history, or who are wholly indiflerent to
'
its importance. But these unworthy ef
forts have produced small effect upon the
public mind, and have not reached the en
lightened opinion of tlie country, which
always has been, and always will continue |
to be. properly partial to the navy, which
contributed so much to establish confidence j
in our own resources and energies during !
the last war.
NEW REMEDY FOR THE TOOTH ACHE. Mr.
: Jas. Houston, of Airdne, says, "Gum Copal,
I when dissolved in chloroform, forms an e.xcel
ler tcompound for stuffing the holes cf decayed '
teeth. 1 have used it very frequently, and the j
I benefit which my patients have derived from it j
has been truly astonishing. The application
is simple and easy. 1 clean out the hole, and j
moisten a little cotton with the solution ; I in- |
troduco this into the decayed part,and in every I
1 instance the relief has been almost instantane
i ous. The chloroform removes the pain, and
the gum copal resists the action of the saliva,
and as the application is so agreeable, those
who may lalvir under this dreadful malady
would do weil to make a trial of it."— Medical
I'iriies in Jmir. Ihn. Science.
We learn that Dr. Worrall has prepared
a solution in accordance with the above,
which is said to he an cllceluul remedy for
toothache.
The Veto Power.
(lov. Bigler, savs the llarrishiirg Ameri
can, has already vetoed several bills, and
the Democratic I nion gives out that there
is to be an indiscriminate use of ibis :u
--bitrary power during the present adminis
tration. It hints that the Bank hills, |
though they may possibly pass the Legis
lature, will be strangled by the Execu
tive. We hope this may prove true.
We would like to see the Democracy take ;
the responsibility of these measures upon
their own shoulders, and we think the j
Whigs in the Legislature should not in
! terfere in the passage of these hills at all. j
In our opinion they should step aside and
let the Democracy take the whole respon
sibility of passing tliein. In their presses
i and on the stump they are continually de- j
nonliving these institutions, and when the)
come before the Legislature they are
amongst their warmest advocates. Nearly
J
all the banks that arc asked lor, are asked !
by locotoeos, so let them legislate them
selves, and the people will see how tbey
are humbugged on this subject. We
should like to see the Whigs in a body
! wash their bauds of all participation in any
legislation for the charter of Banks.
CALVJRMA EMIGRATION. —Some IDEA of the
rush to California, and of the crowds who throng
j the Isthmus awaiting a passage, may be formed
j from the fact that the steamship Golden Gate, ;
which left Panama on the 12th ult., for Sao
j Francisco, took up thirteen hundred passengers.
The New Orleans, on the same day, took up
six hundred. A large number also took pas
sage by sailing vessels, between the Ist an'
]6th of February, and there yet remained at ,
Panama between four and five thousand per- j
, sons awaiting- a conveyance to California. ,
F',r the Gazilte.
Important Bill.
A bill has been for some time before the le
gislature of this Stale, which provides that an
abatement of the State tax of 3 mills per ton
per mile shall be made on all local freight pass
ing over the Pennsylvania and Lancaster Rail
roads, provided the companies running these I
roads shall make a corresponding reduction, and
■ shall send their freight by the way of Columbia
over the whole extent of the Philadelphia and
I Columbia Railroad.
That a hilt so greatly conducive to the inter- j
ests of the State, so advantageous to the resi
| dents along the valley of the Juniata, and so im
! portant as a financial measure tending to in
! crease the revenue of the commonwealth, should
j be opposed by members of the legislature under
! the impression that it will effect the revenue of
; the State injuriously, is most singular, and furn
ishes a lamentable illustration of that want of
practical information and clear discrimination
on certain questions which are sometimes
I evinced in the course of gentlemen possessed of
even more than ordinary intelligence on other
; subjects.
The tax was imposed upon the tonage of the
! Pennsylvania Railroad in the belief that the
I construction of this road would injure the busi
; ness of the main line by the diversion of trade.
Whether this view is in general correct, or ..ot,
we do not now propose to consider ; certain it. is
that it is grossly erroneous when applied to the
local freight of the Juniata. For example, a
i boat load of 60,000 lbs. of grain, carried a dis
tance of 90 miles on the canal, which is more
I than a full average between Columbia and Hol-
I lidavsburg, would pay to the State, a! the rates
which obtained last year, 5*28,80; whereas, the
same freight carried in cars on the Columbia
I Railroad, would pay to the State <03,96, or an
i actual gain to the State, except some increase
in cost of motive power, ol §3.7,16, or 122 pet
cent. As none of the local freight from the Ju
; niata is transhipped at Columbia to the railroad,
but passes to Philadelphia over the Tide Water
Canal, it might be supposed that the State
would allow a large premium to encourage its
transportation in cars rather than by boats. Vet
so far is this from tl.e fact, that a lax is laid on
this freight for the purpose of preventing its
| transportation by railroad. That a course so su
icidal to the interests of the State, should be
1 sanctioned by intelligent legislators, is most 1
surprising. We are happy to learn, however,
that a majority of the board of Canal Commis
sioners have taken a more liberal and enlighten
ed view of tiie subject, and approve of the pas
sage of the bill as a measure calculated to in- ;
i crease the revenue of the State.
But this is not ail. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company are permitted by their charter, and are
required in self defence, to add the whole of the
tax to their rate of toll, and it is therefore paid
by the residents along the line of road, thus de
priving them to a considerable extent of the use
of this improvement, and retarding greatly tire
development of the natural resources of the j
country and the consequent increase of wealth i
and population. The distance from Dillersville '
to Holiidaysbut'g is 175 miles—the tax per ton
for this distance is 52£ cents. Can any one sup
pose for an instant that coal or the inferior kinds
of lumber can bear this tax on transportation r ■
' Certainly not, and in proof of the fact, it appears
; that neither coal nor lumber have ever been car- i
ried over the Pennsylvania Railroad as a regu
lar business, and cannot be until this restriction :
is removed. The Railroad Company is not the
principal sufferer by this ill advised policy—the
I citizens of the interior of the State arc injured :
by it to a tenfold degree.
It cannot be alleged that the canal gains what j
the railroad loses by this policy, tor the effort is
to crush the earliest developments of a business
that might become an important source of reve
nue. Immense forests lie within a few miles of
the railroad, near Tyrone, which cannot by any i
possibility be made to yield their products to the
canal. Vast fields of coal lie in the same local- j
ity, which are too remote from the canal to per
i mil even the thought of a connection with it by
means of wagon transportation. How ruinous |
then must be that policy which condemns the one
to rot in the soil which produced it, and forbids
j the. application of the other to the arts of life, j
By the provision that ail the Pennsylvania
; Railroad freight shall pass over the whole ex
' tent of the Columbia Railroad, the State would :
receive tolls on the whole of this business for
11 miles more of road, or an increase of 16 per ;
cent on that which is now received byway of
Dillersville.
We learn that 1 tie Pennsylvania Railroad Com
. pans are indifferent to tin* fate of this bill, and
make no effort cither to favor or oppose it. It
is, in fact, of much less importance to the corn
: puny than to the State. All that the company
i can gain is an increased business from a rcduc- 1
: tion of tolls, while the State secures the benefit
I of the same increase, ami in addition the large
revenue arising from the difference between .
railroad and canal rates of toll, and the com- j
paratively small expense at which an increased
business on a railroad can be accommodated, as
wi 11 the niv>v ision thai 11 miles more of the
' Columbia Railroad spall be used in its transport- >
ation.
