ifcajP Thomas 11. Burrowes, the recently ap- i
pointed Superintendent of Common Schools, j
was the Black Republican candidate for May- i
or, in Lancaster city, a few weeks ago, and |
was defeated. When President Buchanan |
appointed J. Glancy Jones to be Minister to i
Austria, immediately after bis defeat for Con- ;
gress, the Lewistown Gazette considered the I
act a great outrage, as showing a want of I
respect, on the part of the President, for the |
will of the people. When Mr. Burrowes,
however, is appointed to office, immediately j
after Ins defeat by the people, then, in the es
timation of the Gazette, it was all riyht
"O, consistency thou art indeed a jewel," j
We copy the above from the last Lewis- ;
town Democrat. \\ edo not know which
editor claims the authorship of this choice
production, but whoever is he seems to be !
both ignorant of polities and facts so far
as they relate to3lr. Burrowes. That gen- j
tleinan, shortly after the Buckshot war. be
came a pot-nt democrat, and unless lately ;
driven from the party by the inconsisten
cies and monarchical assumptions of its j
present rulers, is one still. The republicans j
of Lancaster never nominated him for Mayor,
lie having run as an independent candi
date. As to his present appointment, we
simply said he would make an able School
Superintendent—said it without reference
to politics—and the man who denies that
quality to him knows little of Mr. B. and
still less ol that school system with which
he has been identified for 2o years.
Southern liospitalit.y ami Democracy'
That leading .Southern Journal, the Atlan
ta (Georgia) Confederacy of the 27th nb., has
the following item :
"RIGHT SIDE UP WITH CARE." —An old
Abolition reprobate, calling himself Dr. Ifoi
neher, from Pennsylvania, was taken up in
our city, on last Saturday, for bating in hi
possession incendiary documents. The bird
was stripped of his borrowed plumage, and
treated to a coat of BI.ACK, a color more in
accordance with his political ] rinciplcs, and
marked to " Horace Greeley, Tribune Office,
New Nork City, Right side up with care."
thus parcelled, he left for New York, via
Chattanooga and Norfolk. Horace, the Black
of the I ribun6 t will plc.iso inform us
of the safe arival of his " Brother" in iniqui
ty. This climate is too hot for Abolitionists.
Our readers, says the Lewisburg Chronicle,
will mostly discover in the victim of this bru
•al treatment, Dr. Jacob lforlacher—an inof
icnsive citizen ut New Berlin in Union conn-
U io/<9 has spent (ill his time and sirewjth
for years past as a colporteur for Democracy
and Slavery. No man in our region has la
bored as hard as lie has for that cause. lie
has bawled on the streets, and peddled his
"Democratic National Platforms"from Penn
sylvania to Georgia at least, and had not an
Abolition idea in his head when last here.
At the same time he has contended for union.
for brotherly love and charity between all parts
of the Union ; and it is probable that his con
demnations of disunion have been taken for
Abolition at the South. Some think it
may bo the lamb (suggestive of "free wool,")
he has hedged in between the lion and the
wolf on his " Platform," or that some of his
Scripture texts are unsound, that has caused
his ejection from the land of love, supreme
happiness, and true Christianity. But Xulli
lioation is the only safe Democracy among
some of the " sunny chivalry."
This application of Lynch law to a crippled,
harmless eld man, plainly shows that those
who will crush out all therightsof oneclassof
men when they have the power, will not hes
itate to trample upon any others when they
can do so with impunity— a fact which the
Dr. and his many friends we trust will take
to heart, and duly weigh. We hope that the
Dr. is not injured in his benevolent efforts to
show the holy and natural alliance of sham
Democracy and Slavery. His expulsion from
the brave Southrons' coasts is an exploit
equal to the driving of the Yankee school
marm from Sumptervillo in S. C., or the
shooting of the cow in Charlestown, Ya 1

May the General Conference of the

will bo held in Buffalo. It will be one of the
most important conventions ever held by
this large body of christians. Slavery in the
church and Lay representation in the confer

Proceeding's of Congress.
The Ilcuse of Representatives at Washing
ton last week took up the bill to prohibit po
lygamy in Utah, it being the special order. Mr.
Nelson, the father of the bill, advocated its
passage in an able speech, when the House
voted upon and rejected several amendments,
and then passed the bill by ayes 149, noes GO,
thus determining that Congress has the right
to legislate, as it may think proper, for the
territories. Many southern members voted
in the affirmative, though some of them did
so, protesting that in voting for the bill they
did not concede the power to Congress to leg
islate upon the subject of slavery in the ter
ritories. But how they can perceive any dis
tinction between the right of Congress to leg
islate upon crimes, aud the right to legislate
upon slavery or any other subject in the ter
ritories, is more than we can comprehend,
and would puzzle them to explain.
The Committee on the Judiciary, to whom
was referred the protest of the President,
made a report to the House of Representa
tives in which they refute the positions taken
by the President in that document.
WASHINGTON, April 9, 1860.
The Covode Committee have summoned
Vandyke and Plitt, of Philadelphia, to ap
pear before them. They were to have been
here to-day, but did not arrive, and the Com
mittee adjourned till Wednesday, when Plitt
will have to render an account of the money
traced into his hands by the Committee, from
New York, for disbursement. Vandyke hav
ing fallen out with the president, is expected
to unfold a tale, llaskins' and Butterworth's
correspondence will not be filed with the
court for some days, as llaskin has not But
terworth's letter here, and Butterworth de
clines filing his until Ilaskius does so,

From New Orleans we have details of Mira

The returns of the Rhode Island election
show that Mr. Sprague, the conservative can

and afterward endorsed by the Democrats.
We acknowledge the receipt from .J. R.
Kcnney, Comp. I, 10th Infantry, now station
ed in Utah, a copy of the " Valley Tan," of
February 20, published at Great Salt Lake
City, I tab Territory. The paper is opposed
to Mormonism and lashes the saints right and
left. It is printed on a yellow sheet resem
bling wrapping paper, and the publisher an
nounces that for the want of that article he
will be unable to publish a paper for some
weeks.
The I'uget Sound Herald, announces the
sudden death of a soldier, named lluzoo, un
der remarkable circumstances. A p t mor
tem examination disclosed the fact that death
was caused by poison, in the form of oxalic
acid, taken while eating strawberries from
metal cans, wherein they generally came in
closed. The poison bad I mned from the
acidity of the fruit coming in contact with the
metal.
Senator Wigfall of Texas used the fallow
ing language, a few days since, in Congress :
' These northern people, cf all parties, are
a mean, desplicable set of starvelings, unable
to see beyond a dollar, and caring for no con
sideration except money. Threaten them,
and they will crouch to your feet like so ma
ny hounds. Only swear that you are going
to dissolve the Union, and the timid creatures
will get down on ail fours, bite the dust, and
kiss the rod raised to chastise them."
Pocket-lacking by Wholesale. —A gang of
pick pockets made a descent upon Lancaster
city, Pa., last week, and succeeded in making
ths following robberies: David Landis lost
£9Ol : Isaac Miller, £1,510; James Passmore,
£1,000; Mr. Penlinger, £2,100. Notes and
other valuable papers, amounting to some
£15,000, were also stolyn. An Englishman,
about forty years of age, giving the name of
John R. Froderberry, was arrested on suspi
cion of being one of the thieves.
Another Miracle in Italy. —A miracle—a ;
mighty miracle—has been wrought at Pozz- !
noli, and the Bishop, the Lord Lieutenant, the
Syndic, the Judge and all the police author!
ties have witnessed, certified and registered i
it. A fire burned down the church of St. .Jan
uarious, in Pozxuoli, on the first day in Lent. 1
A strong wind from the sea, saved the chapel !
in which the sweating stone is preserved, and
the Saint (or the fire) caused the Baid stone i
to run blood in profusion, some of which the !
Bishop caught with cotton wool! !
R hat 1 irginia T/anks. —A Virginia news- j
paper notices the arrival, in Jefferson county, 1
of Charles T. Butler and his slave, Moses
Horner, about whom there was such an iu- j
tense excitement a few days since, in Phila- '
delphia. The Journal in question says that
Mr. Butler expresses himself "highly grati
fied with the action of the authorities and
people of Philadelphia. Everything that
could be done was done by the Judge and
his officers, and the mob which attempted to
effect the rescue of the negro was composed,
almost entirely, of free negroes, and had no j
sympathy or countenance from the citizens of,
the city, or the officers in authority."

i.KWT.-TOW NWA r Kit Co. MP AN v.— Much
complaint has heretofore existed relative to
the rates charged for water by this company,
largo and small families being in most cases
charged alike. The managers recently revis
ed the whole list of renters, increasing some
and lowering others, so far as to carry out
the directions of the charter to charge accer
ding to the probable quantity of water used.
This course was rendered necessary hy the
claim preferred ly the State for taxes, now
amounting to 5531?, which, unless the com
pany borrows money to pay it, will prevent
a dividend in July. There will of course be
some dissatisfaction at the new rates, but re
flection on the subject, and inquiry as to
rents in other places, which far exceed those
here, will we think lead to an acknowledge
ment of the propriety and justice of the pres
ent procedure.
SA< RED Mi;sic. —On last Sabbath even
| ing, while listening to the introductory i
piece .sung by the Choir in the Lutheran
Church, a train of reflections followed on
some oi the words then floating into the
air—perhaps wending their way to the j
hearing of those who chant eternal praise
to the Most High in the regions of the
blessed —which not only proved the pow- j
er but the beauty of music. " Ifow beau
tiful is Zion," and The coming of the J
Messenger," in themselves are sufficient to
afford food for daily reflection, but when
wafted to the ear during the still hours of
evening, rising and falling in harmonious
cadence, the spirit seems to become con. j
scious that
'•Some feelings are to mortals given.
With less ol earth than of Heaven."
To the young of both sexes, we would
say cultivate SACRED MUSIC. There are
various reasons why all should do so, the
most prominent of which are that it is an j
endless source of pleasure even to the ir
religious ; keeps before the mind sentiments
calculated to lead to the contemplation of j
the goodness of Adonai, of his exultation, j
and his power; and last, but not least, may
often prove a cheek to mischief. Who, <
for instance, while chanting the words first ;
quoted above would so far forget himself j
as to meditate evil ? Who, while sound- |
ing with all his power, " The coming of .
the Messenger," would listen to the wins- 1
perings and instigations of the Evil One ?
None, surely, save those who lost to all i
thought and feeling, can no longer devote
their minds to the acquisition of knowledge
of any kind. Aside from all this, an un
derstanding of music is an accomplishment
in itself, which often enables its possessor
to enter society otherwise beyond reach.
M e could extend these reasons to an in- •
definite number, but as any of those urged
are sufficient inducement, we will but re
peat, caus your children, your friends and
relatives to cultivate sacred music.
PUBLIC OPINION. —The recent convic
tion and sentence of a number of women
for keeping disorderly houses will, we trust,
prove a sufficient warning to those who as
jet have escaped the clutches of the law,
that public opinion is not to be trifled with
with impunity. There are those among
the convicted whom we sincerely regard
with pity, for had the Christian part of"
this community been as active in rescuing
them from their fallen condition and provi
ding them with homes in other places, as
oviluiinded men were to keep tlieiu in the
ways of transgression, they might at least
have had the chance of reformation and
consequent escape from their present in
carceration and lamentable condition.—
When, for instance, several years ago a ru
mor was current that a most infamous
crime had been committed by which a
young girl was led into a life of prostitution
by the aid and connivance of a relative,
no cognizance whatever was taken of the
act by officers of the law, or others. For
a long time thereafter that girl wore a look
of deep care, and apparently made an at
tempt at reform, for wo frequently saw her
going to church with penitence marked on
her countenance. Had Christian men and
Christian women then taken that erring
spirit by the hand, removed her from the
evil influences which surrounded her, nd
given her kindly counsel, would she now
be what she is? In another case, rumor,
but pretty well authenticated, had it that
several attempts were made at reform, but
that all her good resolutions were broken
through that bane of man and hell to wom
an liquor, to which she was unfortunately
addicted. Of the others wc know but lit
tle, though there is no doubt there arc cir
cumstances in their history which, il known,
would go far towards extenuating, not
their late course of life, but their first er
ror in straying from the path of rectitude.
They are now paying the penalty which al
most invariably follows the transgressor.
Public opinion having thus vindicated
the cause of justice in this particular, will
not be less strenuous in demanding of
owners of property henceforth not to rent
tenements to such characters. Aside from
the fact that they have no right to do so—
that they are inflicting on others owning
houses in such neighborhoods a serious in
jury—that they are in a measure jutrtic ps
j cn'minis in giving our town a disreputable
I name —they are depreciating the value of
their own property, for what decent man or
j woman, with sons or daughters, would ev
er think of purchasing abodes for vears
contaminated by the dregs of vice
Public opinion too is fast awakening to
i the fact that a great deal of liquor is sold to
minors, and to persons of intemperate hab
its, contrary to law, to right, and tojustice.
\\ e believe all, or nearly ail engaged in
j the sale of liquor deny that they sell to
such persons, yet it is a notorious fact
that whites and blacks, rich and poor, tern
; perate and intemperate, men and boys, and
we might almost add women and children,
i '
seem to have no difficulty in procuring it
j somewhere! Death of late years lias been
busy among the devotees to the cup, the
; guant phantom, Jlu.iin-a-potu, striking
victims to the grave until even some of the
most hardened stood in awe of the grim
I monster they had been daily invoking from
the depths of hell. Wc know nut how
others may feel on this subject, but it
seems to us il there is a prayer a parent can
utter from the inmost recesses of the heart,
it would be to call upon the Creator to in
flict pain and anguish, sorrow and suffer
ing, pestilence and poverty, rather than
that their oifspring should sink down into
that to be most dreaded of all deaths, the
drunkard's grave, yielding up the spirit
while surrounded by horrors and monsters
never seen or dreamt of save when the
body writhes and labors under that fear
ful disease, delirium tremens.
Public opinion, like the volcano, often
slumbers —it is not well to provoke it.
NATIONAL HOUSF..— This old, well-estab
lished and favorite hotel, second probably j
to none in the interior, will continue in
charge of Mr. S. Aultz during the ensu- '
ing year. Its general arrangements are j
such as to afford comfortable quarters for
boarders and temporary sojourners, and its
table daily supplied with all the delicacies,
luxuries, aud substantial food the markets
afford. Those who ouee take up lodgings
at this establishment, seldom fail to call
again when on a visit to Lewistown, as it
becomes evident to the most casual obser
ver that it partakes of that class in which,
from the principal down to the ordinary 1
servant, there is every desire to make the !
stay of visitors agreeable. * I
TEMPERANCE LECTURES.— Gen. Reiley of
New York lectured at the Town Hall on Satur- I

_ Terrible Accident in a Coal Mine —Six men
Killed. —The Pittsburg Chronicle, of Thurs
day evening, records a most frightful acei
dent, which occurred on the morning of that
day, at Havs A Cu's Coal \V orks, near Irwin's
station, on the Pennsylvania Railroad. It ap
pears that six men entered the shaft for the
purpose of going to work, and were being let
down in the usuai manner, when the rope at
tached to the windlass with which they were
being lowered broke, precipitating them a
distance of some two hundred aud twenty
feet, to the platform below. The result is
easily imagined. The entire party was killed
and their remains terribly mangled. They
were all miners and worked in the pit.—
Three of them were married and men of fam
ilies. The casualty was a frightful one, and
produced a deep sensation iu the neighbor
hood where it transpired.
