The most important question to us in
these hard times is, " Shall we be able to
pay our bond, or even a part of it, this
spring ?" The principal and interest am
ount to $265, and being the last we must
confess we had lived in hopes that the
present spring would release us from this
incubus, but thus far the prospect is poor.
However our patrons some years ago once
took a whim to furnish us with the amount
needed in a little over a month, and we
don't know but they may do so again.—
Certain it is, if every one will but* get the
idea in his or her head that what he or she
owes will make it up, and pay over accord
ingly, the thing's done. AY e shall there
fore, like Patience on a monument, wait
for the wagon, and if it comes, we'll pay
up —if it don't, we rather think we won't,
because we can't.

SPECIAL LEGISLATION.
OUR MEMBER AND SENATOR.
Our readers will have marked that about
all the business thus far transacted in the
legislature of this State by our member and
senator, has been of a special . and some of
it to say the least, unusual character. That
an attempt should be made to release bail
in a matter in which the commonwealth is
concerned, and which could have been
easily collected years ago had the State of
ficers done their duty, we are not surprised,
as it is no doubt a part of the programme
got up some years ago by the democracy,
and as several others are also in for -'bail"
in other matters, such a precedent would
come most opportune to get out of it under
the plea that it is a hard ease to pay that
which they guaranteed should be paid; but
we must confess we are surprised that Dr.
Bower and Mr. Fetter should lend them
selves to such petty legislation as that ex
ercised towards the Directors of the Poor,
because forsooth the latter do not see proper
to do as the 'outside directors' desire. We
speak of this matter in no party aspect, for
it has been of but iittle concern to us who
was steward or who were physicians, so
that the business was properly attended to.
Ju politics, the Board was fairly divided—
Mr. Atkinson, a democrat of high standing,
Mr. Peachy, a republican nominated on the
democratic ticket, and one of the heaviest
taxpayers in the county, and Mr. Cubbison,
an American republican, who thus far has
faithfully performed his duty. The board,
by the vote of Messrs. Atkinson and
Peachey, appointed Joseph Brower steward
for the ensuing ysar, and after a consulta
tion on the subject Geo. W. Hoover physi
cian, at the same rates charged by the oth
ers last year, namely 8120 per annum.—
The objection to Mr. H. we believe is that j
lie has not had much experience. This
appointment was made in consequence of
all the other physicians having combined 1
and agreed to a resolution which fixed the
charge for attendance at the poor house at
8200, and all cases outside at regular rates.
Heretofore the physicians attended the
poor house and all cases within seven miles
of it for 8120. Their resolution not only
increased the rates at the poor house, hut
brought into regular charges all cases out-
Hide. What it would cost under such an
arrangement in hard times with a sickly
season, should such occur, it is difficult
even to guess, though those who pay such
oills could perhaps come near the mark.
Herein we believe the physicians were
wrong, and out of time—that establishment
being still heavily embarrassed. To these
causes, with a sprinkling of ill-feeling to
wards Mr. C., public rumor attributes the
bill which has passed both houses legislating
the Directors of the Poor, comprising as
good citizens and taxpayers as are in the
county, out of office, and giving the whole
into the hands of the Commissioners, a
power wc believe never before exercised by
the commissioners in any county. It is a
strange commentary on legislation, and
shows how little legislators regard their
obligations, as some of the same members
who could not sanction the Mifflin county
Bank Bill, supported by thousands of sig
natures, on account of its setting a prece
dent for banking on real estate, could set
quietly by and suffer a bill to pass changing
a long established usage, got up in secresy,
and certainly not asked for or desired by
the people.
We have given above the current re
ports relative to this bill. If there are
more cogent reasons for the measure, we
hope some of its advocates will lurnish
them for publication.
Democratic State Convention#
| The Pennsylvania Democratic State nom
j inating convention met at Harrisburg on
j Thursday last, 4th inst. The Hon. John
; L. Dawson, of Fayette, was chosen 1 resi-
I dent, and in taking the chair lie made a
I strong Administration Lecompton speech,
i A committee on resolutions being ordered,
| the chairman appointed one composed en
-1 tirely of Lecompton men. The follow
j ing resolutions were reported and adopted
| by a vote of 111 to I—most1 —most of the ultra
! anti-fiecoinptonites declining to vote;
Resolved, That the principle involved in the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and as
serted in the Kansas Nebraska act, that the
people of the Territories shall have the exclu
sive coutrol over their domestic institutions,
is the only sure guarantee against the agita
tion of the nation in regard to the local insti
tutions of particular States and Territories.
Resolved, That by the uniform application
of this Democratic principle to the organiza
tion of territories, and in the admission of
new States, with or without domestic slavery,
as they may elect, the equal rights of all the
States will be preserved, the original compacts
of the Constitution be maintained inviolate ;
and the harmony and perpetuity of the Union
of the American States be ensured.
Resolved, That it is the right of the people
cf any State or Territory to exercise their
sovereign power, through duly chosen repre
sentatives, and through them to enact such a
Constitution and Government as they may
delegate to such representatives; the mere
limited power to prepare their form of gov
ernment reserving to themselves the right of
ratification, and that either mode of giving
existence to State institutions is consistent
with the doctrine of popular sovereignty and
the established practice of the States of this
Union.
Fourth. That the Lecompton convention
was regularly constituted, and the constitu
tion legally formed, and Kansas should be
admitted under it.
Fifth. That the people of Kansas under
this constitution uray at all times alter, and
abolish their form of government, in such a
manner as they see proper. The provision
in the constitution relative to the particular
| mode of alteration after 1864, doe* not forbid.
! any other mode which by regular process the
1 people may choose to adopt before or after
that time.
Sixth. The time has arrived when tho agi
tation in Kansas should be settled. The con-
I flict should be local not national. The Union
j will be placed in great danger and peril by
; further delay of the admission of Kansas as
a State.
Seventh. That if the constitution in Kan
sas is not acceptable iu some of its provisions
: te the majority, it was produced by the free
State men of the Territory, by their obstinate
; course, and they have no right to complain,
and should shut their mouths forever.
Eighth. That the abolitionists, in Kansas
j and out of it, have a greater desire to over
throw the Democratic party and to ameliorate
; the condition of the slave, and they would
| grasp at power and place at the cost of the
broken and shattered bonds of the Union.
Ninth. That we. unhesitatingly approve of
| the measures of President Buchanan's Kan
i eas policy, are ready and willing to sustain
1 him in this, and all other measures of his
i administration thus lar disclosed, and have
j confidence that he will not abandon an article
j in the democratic creed.
Tenth. Endorse the course of Senator Big
! ler in support of the President's Kausas pol
j icy.
Eleventh. Cainpliments Gov. Packer, and
, expresses a confidence that he will, by the
advocacy of a true democratic policy, secure
i the prosperity of the people and the honor of
the Commonwealth.
Twelfth. Recommends the Legislature to
adspt such measures of reform and economy
as will lessen the burthen of the people, anJ
especially recommends a revision of the sys
tem of Banking.
After passing these resolutions, the sth
of which is an absurdity, \\Tn. A. Porter
was nominated for .Supreme Judge, and
Wesley Frost of Fayette tor Canal Cotn
missianer.
Pennsylvania Legislature.
The Legislature, having adjourned last
week to make room for the democratic con
vention, not much business has been trans
acted. On the Bth, Mr. Rhodes present
ed a petition from three hundred and nine
citizens of Mifflin county, in favor of the
sale of the state canals to the Sunbury and
Erie railroad company, or to any other oth
er person or corporation.
The majority of the committee have re
ported in favor of the sale of the remaining
State canals to the Sunbury and Eire rail- j
road, for three millions and a half in bond*, i
I* ROM EUROPE.— By the arival of the !
steamship Europa at New York we have I
one week later advices from Europe. The !
British Ministry had been defeated on the ■
second reading of the conspiracy and mur
der bill, an amendment having been adopt
ed censuring the government for not re- j
plying to Count M alewski's despatch, but j
professing a readiness to amend the laws j
upon one consideration. The feeling of
the British public was a good deal exci
ted on the question, and a demonstration
against any concession to the requirements
of, the French government was to take
place in Hyde Park on the Sunday follow
ing the departure of the Europu. A French
refugee named Bernard had been arrested
in London, charged with being implicated
in the conspiracy to murder the Lmperor
Napoleon. laiter intelligence from India
announces further British successes. The
details of the Chinese news show that Can

British. The intelligence from the Conti

Fur the Oazcite,
Mr. Editor—As the corps editorial tire gen
erally lovers of good music, and believiugyou
not an oxceptiun to the general rule, you will
I hope accord nic a small space in your jour- ;
1 nal to notice a concert I had the pleasure of :
attending, at Newton Hamilton, February
, 23d, given by a class under the instruction of !
I your worthy follow-townsman, Mr. J. CLARK. i
| To say the performance was perfect would be
I an unwarrantable perversion of truth, as ail
j know it requires years of study, as well as
I being gifted with more than ordinary nnturnl
qualifications, to ever approximate to the de
gree of perfection in the beautiful science of (
music; but to say the concert far surpassed I
the expectations of the friends of the class, j
is only meting out a just meed of praise to
I whom praises are due. Few of the scholars
had any knowledge of the rudiments of music
: previous to the commencement of the quarter.
| Much of the term then had necessarily to be
i taken up in learning or familiarizing the class
I to read the notes at sight,-(the round notes
i being used,) and in acquiring a knowledge of
j time, measure, accent, <fcc. , also in exercise
for the culture of the.pr<>per tones of voice.
The class then had but few evenings t > prac
tice upon select pieces by which to entertain
an audience. However, the pieces selected
; were both beautiful and appropriate, and
some wrero difficult to sing, requiring a correct
application of the rules of meusuic, time and
accent. Yet they were sung by the class cor- •
rectly, and to the admiration of the large
audience present—showing that Mr. (.'lark
understands wcdl all he professes to teach, and
lias the happy faculty of imparting that
knowledge for the benefit of his class, lie is
not one u! those
To cozen for turn* n<l t>* honorable,

Ilut by his courteous and gentlemanly man
l ners lias truly won for himself a host of

the only regret that we cannot have the ben
efit of his instructions fur another term.
