That is their paramount duty. To enable
them to perform it, the law entitles them to
a clear track, 7 11. 298, 12 11. 490.
Neither cows or man, not even the servants
of the company engaged in the company's
work, are permitted to obstruct it. And be
cause their right to a clear track is absolute,
their duty to carry safely is imperative.—
If they tolerate obstructions, they must avoid
the danger by reduced speed and increased
vigilance, or answer for the consequences.
This doctrine in Skinner's case, designed
for the safety of the passenger, was so appli
ed in this case, as to compromise it. Herein
was manifest error. The case must go back
to be tried on the question, whether there
was any thing in the particular circumstan
ces of the accident to repel the prima facie
presumption of negligence.
It is impossible to regard the accident as
inevitable. If cattle were in tbe habit of
coming upon the road at that place, or if
there was nothing to prevent them, it was a
contingency that the company were bound to
anticipate and provide against.
The judgment is reversed and a venire de
now awarded.

Proceedings of Congress.
In the Senate, last week, Mr. Crittenden
of Kentucky took his position on the Kan
sas question, somewhat to the discomfiture
of the Leoomptonites. He commenced
his speech by referring to the right of the
people to govern themselves as a great prin
ciple, and applicable to the present circum
stances. The President, he said, has rec
ommended with unusual earnestness the ad
mission of Kansas under the Lecompton
constitution. It is a question in his mind
only of facts whether the Lecompton Con
stitution conies with such authority and
sanction as oblige us to recognize it as the
Constitution of Kansas. lie thought it
did not. The evidence of Governor Wal
ker, and Mr. 8 tan ton, show that it is
against the will of an overwhelming ma
jority of the people.
He recapitulated the statements of va
rious frauds in the election held in Kansas,
and then examined the legality of the Le
compton Constitution, declaring that it was
not the Constitution of Kansas, hut only of
the Convention that framed it. The vote
of ten thousand inhabitants of Kansas on
the 4th of January shows that it is not the
Constitution of the People. They tell you
it is particularly obnoxious to them, because
tainted with fraud. It is one of a series of
frauds, instigated for the purpose of get
ting and keeping possession of the govern
ment of Kansas, from the first election,
carried by armed invaders from Missouri,
down to the present day. Hence, he con
cluded, to impose it upon Kansas would be
a plain and palpable violation of the right
of the people to govern themselves, llut,
continued Mr. Crittenden, the Lecompton
Constitution carries on its face the evidence
of corruption. Those who Iramed it knew
it contained provisions that the Free State
men could not assent to. Therefore, none
were allowed to vote unless sworn to sup
port it, slavery provisions and all.
The six thousand votes in its favor were
put in with the view of exhibiting a suit
able majority, and in order not to make the
fraud too monstrous, they went just beyond
the line. Fraudulent intent was apparent
throughout, and how he asked, can gentle
men ignore these frauds in the face of inter
nal evidence and concurrent testimony.—
The people of Kansas say it is not their
constitution, and ask us to send it back
to be submitted to a vote of the peo
ple. Fan we, he asked, refuse such a re
quest ? Can Senators turn from such ev
idence to legal technicalities and presump
tions of law? They ought to look to truth
and principle without searching for pre- 1
sumptions and precedents. Holding these I
principles, he said, he would not put his
hand to the admission of Kansas under the
Lecompton Constitution.
Mr. Crittenden then asked, What can >
the South gain by the admission of Kan- i
sas under that constitution ? No Senator
believes that she can be a Slave State.—
The laws of climate and geography forbid
it. In support of this view he quoted the
sentiments of several members of Congress,
including Mr. Keitt.
Mr. Hammond, (S. C.) —Did Mr. Keitt !
say so ?
Mr. Crittenden—lt was so reported.
Mr. Hammond —Mr. Keitt quoted a pas
sage to that effect, but did not endorse it.
Mr. Crittenden resumed, contending that
the people of Kansas should be allowed to
make such a constitution as they please.—
That, said he, is the great American prin
ciple, that is the princple of the South it
self He then spoke discursively on vari
ous topics. He was, he said, according to
the terms now used, a Southern Democrat;
he had lived all his life in Southern cli
mate, and was ready to defend his rights
there, but in the resolute spirit in which
he would defend his own rights he would j
defend the rights of others. lie repeated
that he did not believe that Kansas could 1
be a Slave State. The South was deceiv
ed in that respect.
Referring to the Missouri Compromise,
he said it would have been better to let it
stand. The South could gain nothing by
it, nor the North, but it was hallowed as a
bond of union. Its accomplishment was
hailed as one of the greatest acts of that
great leader, Henry Clay. It brought
peace to the country by localizing Slavery,
and should not have been broken. Hejwas
growing older, less susceptible to new im
pressions, and would have been content to
have rested upon that Compromise.
It has brought us the reverse of peace;
it has brought us trouble. Turning to
Kansas, he said lie would vote for her ad
mission if he thought it would bring her
peace ; but he did not believe it would. It
is said her admission will localize the ques
tion of slavery in that territory. He did
not believe it. I f that question is to be de
bated, it will be debated here. But it must
be debated in the right way. There should
be no excitement. Why should his friends
of the North use such invectives —invec-
tives, he must say, of the most atrocious
kind ? Why should we not live in peace
and harmony, as our fathers did ? We arc
united in language and in blood ; and yet
the destinies of the future are forgotten,
while this petty subject of disagreement is
nursed into colossal proportions.
Alluding to the previous debates, be said
he was much gratified in learning from
them the comparative resources of the two
sections of our country. The Henator from
k- C. (Mr. Hammond) had detailed the re
sources of The gentleman from
Maine (Mr. Hamlin) had given those of
the North; and while listening to them, it
seemed to him that this was the most nat
ural 1 nion in the world. If either of
these States apart would make a nation of
which any man may be proud to be a citi
zen, what a magnificent Union it makes
when you put both together. Were this
discord but lulled, what a summer sea lies
before us of boundless prosperity!
In concluding, he said be should vote on
the question as a Senator of the United
States of America, not as a sectional man. j
He owed allegiance to no section. Ihe
course he would approve would be to pass
a law, by which the Constitution shall be
submitted to the vote of the people, and if
it then be ratified, he would admit Kansas
under it.
The House on Friday adopted the bill
providing for calling into service five regi
ments of volunteers, introduced by Mr.
Quitman. Mr. Faulkner, of Virginia, at
tempted to ameud it to suit the views
of the Administration, but the propo
sition was rejected —yeas 43, nays 143.
The bill as originally reported was then
passed—yeas 142, nays 73. It authorizes
the Government to accept the services of
five regiments of volunteers; one regiment
to be employed in defending the Texan fron
tiers, and the other four to be used in quel
ling tfie Utah rebellion, the protection of
emigrant trains, and the suppression of In
dian hostilities.
Pennsylvania Legislature.
The committee of conference to whom
was referred the resolution relative to the
final adjournment of the Legislature, re
ported that they had agreed and fixed up n
Thursday, the 22d day of April, as the day

flin county, came up in order on third read
ing.
The bill was opposed by Messrs. Turney,
Wright, Souther and Buckalew, and support
ed by Messrs. Finney, Wilkins and Harris.
Mr. Buckalew moved to go into committee
of the whole, to insert a substitute for the
bill, providing that on the payment of ono
third of the amount of the default of Daniel
Zeigler, by George Strunk, one of the three |
bail, he shall be discharged from all further

ST. Louts, March 23. —The Leavenworth
Times of the 19th inst. says, that the previous
morning two companies of infantry and two
of cavalry left the Fort for Utah. The com
mand numbers about 330 men. They design
overtaking Col. Hoffman, and escorting tire
supply train for Col. Johnston's army from
Fort Laramie. This train consists of 160
heavily laden wagons.
The Republican publishes extracts from a
private letter from Col. Johnston to a friend
in that city, dated February sth, in which he
says he has received no communication from
the Government since the 22d of October.
He complains that the contractors take more
than three months to carry the mails to Utah
when their contract states that the service
shall be done monthly. Col. Johnston de
scribes the march to Camp Scott, and compli
ments the troops. He says the Mormons
have fully, as far as words and actions can
manifest their intentions, declared their do
termination to no longer submit to any gov
ernment but their own, and that the people
of the Union must submit te the usurpation
of their territory, and have a government
created in their midst acknowledging no de
pendence upon or allegiance to the Federal
authority, or act with vigor and force to com
pel them to succumb. He expresses an ear
nest hope that every exertion will be made
to forward supplies early in the spring, under
a sufficient guard of mounted men.

A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CI.OTHI.NO.—
There has been for the last month or two
a Reverend gentleman in Snyder county,
passing himself off by the name of Hoff
man, and fleecing the tender lamb&of sev
eral congregations of some of their hard
earnings. He professes, says the Middle
burg Tribune, to be a Lutheran Clergy
man and has a good address. He repre
sented himself as having but one arm, the
other having been cut off by a train of
cars, but this wolf in sheep's clothing, dur
a few days visit at the house of Mr. Ilaek
cnberg, in Centre township, was discovered
to have two sound arms, the one, not in
use, being very dexterously bandaged to
his body, and wearing a closely buttoned
overcoat over the whole, with the sleeve
intended for the lost arm loosely dangling
by his side, and so nicely was the dress
managed that the deception was complete.
But after the Reverend gentleman was
called to breakfast, Mr. Jlackenberg with
I the assistance of a few friends, compelled
; him to " ground arm," and then let him off,
after which he made tracks towards Lewis
' town. Our readers will post themselves
i against this gentleman.

EXHIBITION. —The scholars of some of
; the public schools will give a series of ex
hibitions next week in the Town Hall, as
follows: On Tuesday afternoon before the
pupils of the public schools, who will be
admitted free; on Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings before the public, on which occa
sions a small charge will be made to defray
the expenses. The exhibition will include
dialogues, speeches, singing, and music by
the String Band, and while we shall not
anticipate any extra performances—for such
; is not the design of the teachers, Mr.
J Frescoln and Miss Kerr, who have consent
ed to superintend it—yet we feel satisfied
it will prove interesting both to the pupils
and public.
FOUND DEAD. —On Thursday last, says
the Mifflintown Register, David Norris, a
colored man, was discovered dead in room
No. 2 of the Odd Fellows' Hull, occupied
as a barber shop. Esquire Belford sum
moned a jurjfr and held an inquest upon
the body. The jury rendered a verdict
that his death was occasioned by swallow
ing a quantity of opium, which he had
purchased at one of our stores the evening
before. He was a resident of Lewistown,
by profession a barber, and hud recently
been employed here in that capacity. He
was of very intemperate habits, and had
' been spreeing it for a week past with great
excess; and the presumption is that in his
effort to restore his shattered nerves, by
; the use of opium, he overreached th e quan
tum svjffirit , and laid himself down to sleep
to wake up in the unseen world. A few
weeks ago he made a narrow escape from
being burned to death while in a state of
intoxication at Lewistown.
tfcy-An inquest was held at the house of
Mr. Mullen, near Jack's creek, on the body j
of a new born infant, a child of a girl '
named Prettyleaf, which was found dead
there on Tuesday lost. The inquest deci
ded that it had come to its death by the
carelessness or violence of the mother. The '
woman is said to be not altogether right iu
her mind, so that no further proceedings
will be insituted.
