Lancaster, April 11, 1848.
Hon. James Buchanan, the
Secretary of State of the United States, arrived
yesterday evening by the Southern train of cars,
in this city. His stay in our city, we learn, will
be necessarily brief, owing to his numerous and
pressing public duties at Washington.
RT” We are under obligations to Hon. David S.
Kauffman, the popular representative at Washing
ton, from Texas, for a neatly executed pamphlet,
containing all tlje addresses delivered in Congress
on the occasion of the death of Mr. Adams.
Governor Shunlt’s Veto of Four
Old Banks.
We learn from Harrisburg that Gov. Siiunk has
vetoed the bills re-chartering not less than four
Banks—namely, the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank
of Philadelphia, the Chqmberslnirg Bank.] the Farm
ers' Bank of Wayncsburg , and the Columbia Bank
and Bridge Company of this county. \
We have not yet received a copy ofUhe vc'to,
but find the following notice in the Harrisburg
Democratic Union of Saturday:
<c The veto message is a well-written document,
and will do credit to the head and the heart of the
Executive. Public sentiment demands that greater
guards and restrictions should be thrown around
the banking institutions of the State than we have
heretofore had, and .this message will raise the
question as to whether charters shall be extended
without those restrictions and without any inquiry
in regard to the solvency.or insolvency of the banks
making application for extension of charters. We
trust that no effort will’be made to pass those bills
-by Constitutional.majorities in the two houses,-as
the charters of these banks do not expire for two
years, and there will be ample time to recharter
them by a future Legislature, with proper restric
tions, if it is deemed advisable so to do. We will
publish the veto in our next paper.”
: By reference to our legislative report it will be
seen that these Bank Charters have passed the Sen
ate by constitutional majorities but have been lost
in the House of Representatives.
17. 8. Senate and the French.
The Senate, on Tuesday,showed its appreciation
of the noble effort of the French people in behalf
France. The resolutions were unanimously
adopted by a vote of 32. They are as follows:
A joint resolution tendering the congratulations of
the United States to the people of France.
Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representa
tives of the United States of America in Congress

principles of liberty in a republican form of govern
ment.
Sec. 2. And be it further resolved , That the Pres
ident of the United States be, and he is hereby, re
quested to transmit the resolution to the American
minister at Paris, with instructions to present it to
the French government.
-The resolutions will be sent by the new steamer

State medical Convention.
This body meets in the Methodist [Episcopal
Church, (Rev. William Urie's,) in North Duke
street, in this city, at 10 o'clock to-day. Among
the delegates w§ recognize the names of some of
the most eminent medical gentlemen in the state,
whose deliberations will doubtless prove highly in
structive and interesting. We hope to have it in
our power to. furnish a detailed account of the ses
sions in our next.
Letters have been received by the Corresponding
Secretary of the Lancaster Medical Society, inform
ing him of the following appointments of Delegates:
Schuylkill County Medical Society. —Drs. James
S. Carpenter, S. Morton Zulich, and John G.
Koehler.
Berks 'County Medical Society. —Drs. I. P. Hies
ter, William Moore and I. Horace Settger.

o{ Philadelphia, and Tuck, of New Hampshire;
HO Democrats. Of the two vacancies, that in S.
Carolina will be filled by a Democrat, while that
in New York is doubtful. The district has usually
.been represented by a Democrat.
Sudden Death.
We learn with regret that as Mr. Joseph Hoover,
a much respected citizen of West Hempfield town
ship, in this county, was on Thuesday morning last
in the act of disposing of a lot of cattle at Parks
burg, in Chester county, he was struck down by
apoplexy and instantly expired. His remains were
conveyed on the same day to his afflicted wife and
children, whom he had left, full of health and hope,
the day previous. Truly, “in the-'midst of life we
are in death/’
Mr. Nugent.
The United States Court, on Friday, decided
unanimously, that Mr. Nugent, who had been com
mitted by the Senate for refusing to say from whom
he had- received a copy of the secret papers touch
ing: the Mexican treaty, and who had been brought
before the Court op a writ of habeas corpus, should
be remanded into die custody of the Sergeant-at
arms of the Senate^
IP* Amos Tuck, a representative in Congress
. from New Hampshire, in a speech in that body,
ottered the following most infamous , dastardly , bar
harous and treasonable sentiments: .
“Let the same vote that declared die war unne
cessary and unconstitutional, STARVE IT TO
DEATH BY WITHHOLDING SUPPLIES ! »
The Hon. Jomr Bell, of Tennessee, uttered a
-sentiment somewhat similar:
“My advice is, Stop the wak l/Flee the coun
try as you would a city doomed to destruction by
'Heaven J ”
Taxation and Liberty.
Money is the mainspring of government. Tax
ation—by which govemfnent obtains money—is
the chief burden of the people. The positive good
done by government is - effected by the judicious
application of money; and one-half of its negative
usefulness by its being denied. The liberties of
the people, therefore, are always more endangered
by money in the hands of government, than from
any other element of power. And, on the other
hand, taxation—as it is the chief source of power
to government—it is also the highest test of liberty
In the people. Just taxation, in a settled govern
ment, is liberty. Unjust taxation—it matters not
what the form of government may bo—is tyranny.
And the reasons are obvious: Taxation is almost
the only positive deprivation which government
exants from the mass of the people. It is almost
the only positive action at all, by which it afflicts
them. Its civil officers—its soldiers—even its courts
of Justice—touch not the mass, and touch any citi
zen only occasionally. But taxes come every year.
They como ovory.day, in all that we consume, for
food, clothing—life itsolf. If they are not just,
-they carry along, with thorn the continual iteration
of wrong. They never cease; but place one eter
nal cry in our ears: “ give—give.” If unjust taxes
were like a wild foray, or a war which is unjust
and cruel, hut - ends—however wrong, they would
be endurable by the few; because, when ceasing,
we might again have right and justice predominant
in the country. But that which is a necessary ac
cident of existence, and which will meet us even
in death—which is a continual positive sacrifice for
the purposes of government—must be right, or all
■government must be ;wrpng. Hence it is, that
nearly all the great battles For liberty, fought by the
Anglo-Saxon race, have been fought on the* point
Of taxation. Hampden and Pym, Washington
and Franklin, resisted tyranny upon it—not on
its oppressions, they waited not for that—but on
its principles. ?
A Bank, Distribution, Internal Improvements,
are all vicious applications of money; but they do
not touch the manner of raising money for the
government *Two of these at least—Distribution
and National Internal Improvements, arise directly
from a false system of taxation. Taxes raise the
money—taxes grasp the people personally; and
whether they are jusfly and equally exacted from
them, is the first great inquiry for interest, the first
for liberty. If they are equal and just, all are free.
If they are unequal and unjust, one portion of the
people are made tributary, to another, and are po
litical' slaves. But if taxes are not only taken from
the people unequally, but are exacted, nor for the
purposes of their government, but to aggrandize
individuals or classes, they are oppressed slaves:
and whether they'are free in spirit, although slaves
by government, will dephnd on their conduct in
resistance. If free in spirit, revolution or change
is inevitable ; lor unjust taxation will not stop with
injustice. It will not leave alternatives. It will
poison all the fountains of legislation. It will pro
duce the spirit of extravagance aftd plunder in ap
propriations. 'Those who gain by the taxes laid,
will be for increasing them by calls for expendi
tures. Corruption amongst rulers and amongst
the people, will go on gathering force by its toler
ation, until, at last* a revolution to tyranny and
despotism will sweep away the forms of free gov
ernment. There is but one course, when taxation
by government is vitally wrong in principle: do as
our fathers did—reform or break it.
The Taylor Proviso.
The famous Wilmot proviso, from present ap
pearances, is not to be permitted to go without a
rival. The political world is now to be set agog by
a Taylor proviso, which, il it does not make so
much noise as the other, in the eyes of its advo
cates can scarcely lail to be regarded as of equal
importance. Let us explain our meaning.
The Whig conferees from the counties of Union,
Northumberland and Lycoming—three of the five
counties in the 13th Congressional District—met
at Muncy, one day last week, and on the 10th bal
lot appointed David Taggart, Esq., of Northum
berland, delegate to the National Convention, and
adopted ’the following resolutions:
Resofued, That the delegate this day elected to
represent the 13th District in the National Conven
tion, be instructed to advocate the nomination of
Henry Clay, as the Presidential candidate of the
Whig party.
Resolved , That in case of Mr. Clay’s declination,
the Delegate be instructed to suppprt Gen. Zach
ary Taylor as our second choice, provided he will
give satisfactory evidence to the Convention, that
he is sound in the Whig faith, and will carry out
the principles of the Whig party.
For Clay first—whether or not—and for Tat
lor, in the event of Clay's declination—a contin
gency that is about as probable as the return of
Louis Philippe to France—and then only “provi
ded he will give satisfactory evidence to the Con
vention, that he is sound in the Whig faith, and
will carry out the principles of the.AVhig party!''
With such a chart to follow, Mr. Taggart is about
as likely to vote in the National Convention for
the Imaun- of Muscat as for Zachary Taylor ! for
has not this same Zachary declared, over and over
again, to fully two hundred and forty-nine corres
pondents, who have categorically interrogated him
on the subject, that he will -not commit himself to
the views of any party whatever ? Yea, in advance,
with a manifest aforethought and determinate obsti
nacy characteristic of the brave old battle-fighter,
has he declined to give any evidence, far less “ satis
factory evidence,” that lie is “ sound in the Whig
faith and will carry out the principles of the Whig
party.” What folly, then, to press and urge and
importune liim, since Taylor himself has of pre
determined will solemnly repudiated the Taylor
proviso, as sought to be interpolated by the Mun
eyites, in conclave assembled! Better call it a
day's work, and give it up as a bad job.
Connecticut Election.
Returns have been received from all but three
towns,and the result is as follows. For Governor:
Clark Bissell, Federalist,
Geo. S. Catlin, Democrat,
Abolition,
Bissell’s majority over all,
The House stands 117 Federalists and 96 Dem
oesats; not determined, 8. Senate—Federalists 13;
Democrats G ; not determined, 2.
Last year— Bissell, Fed., 30,137; Toucey,
Dem., 27,402; Abolition, 2,135. Legislature about
the same as last year.
Singular Prediction.
The French Courier states that among the pa
pers of one of the marshals (since deceased) at the
celebration in 1830, was found a sealed package
with the following inscription: “ To be opened on
the occasion of the coming revolution in France.”
As that event has now taken place, the package
has been opened and found to contain the badges
worn by the deceased at the procession of 1830,
with a detailed description of the ceremony. On
the interior of the wrapper was ■written: “To serve
on occasion of the next revolution in France,
which will take place about the year 1847.” It
would have been difficult to make a more just pre
diction.
New York Whigs for Clay!
The Federal members, of the Legislature of N.
York, passed, on the sth inst, the following resolu
tion expressive of their views as to the nominee
of the Federal National Convention, by a nearly
unanimous vote:
Rseolved) That in selecting Delegates to the Na
tional Convention, we feel it a right and duty to
express it as our opinion that HENRY CLAY is Me
first choice of the Whigs . qf New York , and that they
can give and will give to Jim 9 pr to any other relia
ble Whig j who may be nominated by that Conven
tion for the Presidency, the Electoral votes of
this State.
The “reliable, Whig” clausecuts off Taylor in
toto. What says Col. Webb of the regular army?
Genuine Democracy.
We place but a low estimate on that man's De
mocracy, who, in every collateral issue,* is found
acting with our opponents. ,In the bosom!of the
real Democrat there is a vital principle which al
ways sympathises with the mass: which ifrater
nizes with the many as distinguished from the few.
There are many very good Democrats theoretical
ly, who are very bad ones constitutionally. It
amounts to an infirmity with them, that, while
their leading principles are sound their leading par
tialities are all vitiated. They can talk oi Liberty
and Equality, by the quantity—but the moment
they nrp left to act independent of well defined
landmarks, they betray an Instinctive proclivity
for Aristocracy. Their views, their feelings, their
anticipations, all lean the same tfay,
Tho man who is truly a Democrat assimilates
with the mass as naturally as water runs down
hill, and he who is conscious of an Innate tendency
towards Aristocratic distinctions and usages; as dis
tinguished from Democratic, if acting with tho
Democracy, may. rest assured that he has mistaken
his position in society. Democratic principles and
Aristocratic sympathies will not harmonize; and
though the one may acquire a controlling. uscen
dency at times, occasions will arise when the
other will out in spite of every effort at conceal
ment.
We like that Democracy which pays homage to
the man—which, much as the phrase has been ridi
culed by those who have affected not to understand
it—inculcates “the supremacy of a man over his
accidents,” over the accidents of birth, of wealth
and of association. We like the Democracy which
distinguishes the man, though toiling in servile
drudgery, above the mere creature of circumstance,
though burdened with empty honors. We like the
Democracy which recognizes a brother in the vic
tim of oppression, and declines a fellowship with
the oppressor, though robed in ermine. We like
that Democracy which hears of wrong only to
condemn—sees it but to resist—which meets every
infringement of individual rights, however humble
the possessor, with decided and emphatic reprehen
sion, and discountenances, unprompted, every at
tempt of the haughty to trample on the humble,
or to riot amidst the crushed and violated feelings
of human weakness.
Attack on tke Adjutant General.
Mr. Johnson, the Federal member of our State
Senate from Erie county, recently delivered himself
of a bitter diatribe against Gen. Bowman of the
Bedford Gazette , who holds the office of Adjutant
General of Pennsylvania. The ground-work of the
attack was a motion made by Senator- Small of
Philadelphia, to increase the salary of the Adjutant
General from three to six hundred dollars per an
num, when Mr. Johnson is reported to have said:
“ That he was opposed to paying this officer the
first cent of salary. He would never vote to remu
nerate an officer , who. had advocated the justice of
the present war with Mexico. In that gentleman’s
annual report, he makes direct reference to this
subject, and characterizes those who disavow sen
timents similar to those he entertained as treasona
ble at heart. He would cast back the reproach
upon the vile slanderer, and raise his voice against
the division of the bill. V] r. J’s. remarks were par
ticularly severe, and delivered with considerable
bitterness of feeling.”
Mr. Johnson was replied to on th<f spot, in terms
of deserved severity, by Senators Small and Braw
ley. But the last no. of the Bedford Gazette con
tains General Bowman's own defence, which is of
the most masterly and conclusive character. Gen.
B. states that the motion of Senator Small to in
crease his salary was made without his knowledge,
which, trifling as is his compensation, he would not
accept, if it were allowed unanimously. But on
the subject of the “justice'of the Mexican war,"
Gen. B. comes down upon his assailant with the
force of an Alpine avalanche. From the speeches
of Corwin, Webster, Clay, Appleton Howe, and
other whig luminaries, he convicts the whig party
of little less than moral treason, whilst f?om the
letters of such eminent Whigs as Col. Wynkoop,
Captains Caldwell, Naylor, Nauman, and others,
he proves the disastrous influences which these
speeches exercised upon the American side of the
controversy in Mexico. Gen. Bowman's vindica
tion of his Report is altogether so able and over
whelming, that we much regret our inability to
publish it entire. We shall, however, in the ‘dis
cussion of the war question, have frequent occasion
to refer to its clear and unanswerable statement of
Prom the Easton Argus.
Letter from Israel. Painter.
We take great pleasure in laying before our
Democratic friends the following letter from the
Democratic candidate v for Canal Commissioner.
His views upon the Presidency will be cheerfully
responded to by his friends throughout the Com
monwealth. -
Mount Pleasant, March 22, 1848.
Gentlemen: —l have the honor to acknowledge*
the receipt of your letter informing me of my nom
ination by the Democratic State Convention as the
candidate of tho Democracy of the Commonwealth
for Canal Commissioner.
While I am fully sensible that the Convention
might have selected a more deserving and more
competent nominee, I frankly accept this nomina
tion. It is a position of high honor, and if the i
choice of the Convention shall be approved by the
people, I trust their just expectations will not be
wholly disappointed.
The coming political campaign will present a
most interesting question, in which all minor ones
are in danger of being absorbed. Certainly two,
and perhaps three, distinguished names will.be be
fore the people of the Union in connexion with the
Presidency. I hope to see the Republican
firm and united upon principle alone, in this mo
mentous canvass. Whatever there may be about
any one of the candidates to awaken admiration
for eminent and brilliant services, I hope we shall
not permit our hearts to ruij away with our heads,
when vital principles are at stake, and the destinies
of our beloved country are concerned.
The financial difficulties of our State are fast di
minishing, and we are not without Jiope that at no
very distant day, the people will- be relieved in a
great measure from their present burden of State
taxation, and that oilr public works, prudently ma
naged, will be greatly instrumental in producing a
result so much to be desired.
For the flattering terms in which you address me
please accept my thanks, and be assured, Gentle
men, I remain
Respectfully and cordially,
Your friend and fellow citizen,
ISRAEL PAINTER.

Scene in the U. S. Senate.
An amusing incident, though for a moment-like
ly to be attended with serious consequences, occur
red in the U. S. Senate on Friday morning. While
Mr. Allen was speaking to his resolutions on the
French revolution, in the midst of his harangue, a
man suddenly sprung from his portion in the gen
tleman's gallery across to the railing in front of the
reporters, and perched himself upon the spread
eagle which is suspended over the chair of the Vice
President exclaiming at the same moment, “ I pro
test against that man representing the State of Ohio.’’
He was arrested by the Sergeant-at-Arms, and
placed in temporary custody. Upon examination
he turned out to be a Mr. Price, from Cincinnati
and is represented to be a person of respectability
and independence, who is suffering under partial
derangement
ip*- -The whigs are mad! I hang my head with
humiliation and shame when I think that I have
been a member of their party. It seems to me
that the whig leaders are guilty of the worst kind
of treason.”— [Charles J?axl.or.

the district of j. Q. Adams, by 1300 majority.
Anecdote of an Emperor.
The present Emperor of Austria is represented
as scarcely more, than half-witted, who, if he lived
in the United States, instead of being elevated as a
ruler, would stand a much better chance of having
his head shaved, and being bled and blistered, and
furnished with a comfortable apartment in some
benevolent asylum. He is nominally the head of
the Empire, but in reality a mere tool of Mbtter
nich. We know an anecdote concerning him,
which will serve to shew the extent of his calibre.
When the lamented Muhlxnbkro of this State
was Minister at Vienna, at their farewell interview,
the Emperor, among other grave questions, asked
him by what mode of conveyance he expected to
return to his native country. The Minister Informed
him that he should proceed to London, and thence
embark in a government vessel lor the United States.
“And what length of time will It take you to roach
home risked tho Emperor. The Minister inform
ed him. “Gracious Heavonl" exclaimed the aston
ished Emperor, “and do you travel day and night ?"
The Minister replied that there wore no lmH-way
houses on' the sea, at which travellers could stop
over night, to resume their journey {oisurely in the
morning!
And this is the class of men, who in the Old
World continue to inßult man and blaspheme Hea
ven by the impious assumption that they possess a
“divine right” to rule and ruin the masses! .Far
better acknowledge themselves Usurpers, whose
right consists only in the exercise of power and in
the submissiveness of their betters. But, Heaven
be praised! the time is hastening, when the
imacy ’ of Kings and Emperors will be pronounced
by the voice of universal mankind “an absolete
idea.”

07“ The Americans in Rome celebrated the birth
day of Washington this year by a banquet. A
correspondent of the Boston Courier , speaking of
the affair, says—
" Mr. Cooper, of Pennsylvania, presided on the
occasion, and all the proceedings went off with
great enthusiasm. Mr. George S. Hillard, of Bos
ton, made a most eloquent speech, and was fol
lowed in an able manner by the Rov. Mr. Hedge.
A felicitous poem, abounding with humor and spark
ling with wit, was recited by William Story, of
Boston. He was followed by Crawford, the sculp
tor, in a speech that came from the heart.
Mr. Thomas W. Parsons, of Boston being called
upon by Mr. the following senti
ment:
To Liberty !—There is no dearer name
To our own country : —And it any land
That shines before her on the list of fame,
Pretend an earlier title to the grand,
The god-like attribute of being free—
If that proud city which o’erlooks the waves
Of Salamis, hard by Thermopylae—
Or this , whose walls historic Tiber laves,
Point to the past and say, “ You learned of me!”
Yet from America the world receives
The lesson now : for there with larger blaze
The everlasting torch of Freedom lives ;
She keeps the faith and her example gives
Back to regenerate Rome its nobler days.
Many other toasts were drunk, and a variety of
songs enlivened the hilarities of the festival. The
name of Pius Ninth was of course not forgotten.
07“ The “ Union Tones,"’ published at New Ber
lin, in this has passed into the hands of Jno
R. Baum, Esq. The former editor. Mr. Kck, has
evidently retired “in disgust." He says in his val
edictory :
“We have formed associations with many that
snail ever be held in pleasing 'remembrance; and
while we have thus enjoyed the good opinions of
those whose friendship is worth having, we have,
on the other hand, been meanly misrepresented and
.slandered by those whose only mark of distinction
from the common hog, is their want of bristles!”
ICrMn. Astor was in the habit of converting
two-thirds of his annual gains into real estate, not
one foot of which did he ever mortgage. The es
timates of the value of his property are various.
Those knowing” his affairs best, placing it at
$30,000,000; and some as high even as $30,000,001).
His income on a moderate estimate must have been,
of late, $2,000,000 a year, or $166,000 a month,
which is about $ 11,300 a week; $5760 a day $240
an hour, and $4 a minute.
A PnopiiECY.—The New Orleans Evening Na
tional says—“ Within nin- 1 days after the final
ratification- of the Treaty of Peace between the
United States of the North and the Republic of
Mexico, the Mexican Departments of New Leon,

themselves free and independent of the Government
of Mexico. Gen. Mirabeau B. Lamar, of Texas,
will be the first President of the New Republic of
New Leon.” »
‘ [o* Extract from one of the letters of the Wash
ington correspondent of the Harrisburg Union:
I was at a little supper the other evening with a
few of the sons of tho Emerald Isle, and I was not
a little gratified with the enthusiasm manifested by
them in favor of Mr. Buchanan. One of their
toasts was:
“ The Democracy—We will serve up the finest
Buck in all Pennsylvania for dinner, at the White
House, on the 4th of March, 1849.”
|o* The Providence Herald notices a rumor that
Louis Phillippe is coming to Rhode Island, to seek,
protection from the sovereignty of’the people. r:
Telegraphic Mistake. —An amusing blunder
occurred a few days since in a telegraphic commu
nication from Mobile to New Orleans. The words
to be sent were “Mr. Sevier is confirmed.” They
were duly reported “Mrs. Sevier is confined.”
The Vice Presidency. —The Nashville Union
and Knoxville Standard (Term.) have placed the
name of Ex-Governor A. V. Brown at the head
of their columns as a candidate for the Vice Presi

Extract qf a Utter to the editor qf the Intelligencer >
Fairfax county, (Va.,) April 4, 1848.
It may not be uninteresting to your readers to be
informed of the sentiments of the ** Mother of Pre
sidents” in regard to the coming campaign. Old
Virginia, it is true, has not yet, for prudential rea
sons, made any public demonstration, from which
the Democracy>of other States can deduco her
ference of any particular candidate, although she
has left nothing to conjecture as to the spirit with
which she will enter the contest, when the hour of.
trial shall come. Bhe will present to the enemy,
Whenever he may be pleased to unflirl his flag, an
undivided front, and true to her motto, “ tic tem
per tyrannies* 'she will know no rest until victory
perches on tho.banner of Democracy.
But this you have already learned, from the pub
lished proceedings of her late State Convention,
and hor past history is a sufficient guarantee that
she will nobly redeem the pledge given by that pa
triotic body to the nation. 1 write, not from a
vain desire to proclaim the fidelity of my native
State to the saqrod cause of Democracy. I have a
still more gratefh) task to perform. It was my pri
vilege to correspond daily with many of the most
influential and talented members of that Conven
tion, and from them I learn, that whilst it was not
deemed expedient or necessary, at this time , to ex
press any opinion as to the most available candi
date at the ensuing election, there was such unan
imity in favor of James Buchanan, that, had that
question been' pressed upon , the Convention, the
welkin would have re-echoed with his great name.
I might give your readers copious extracts from
a varied correspondence, but suffice it to say, that
our distinguished Governor has declared that
JAMES BUCHANAN will be the first choice of
Virginia. This opinion, whilst it is the reflex of his
own feelings, is the result to which a thorough ac
quaintance with every prominent Democrat in the
State has led his mind. One of my correspondents
propounded the interrogatory himself to fully three
fourths of the members composing the Convention,
and from each one he received the same response:
“ Pennsylvania has a right to claim the nomination
for her favorite son, and Virginia cannot refuse it.”
I have learned from reliable authority that the De
mocracy of Alexandria and Fairfax countywill soon
rally in Mass Meeting around his standard, and it
is understood that other counties in the State con-
template holding similar meetings.
Be assured of one thing, that Virginia will be
true to the glorious cause on which the perpetuity
of our free institutions so essentially depends, and
that she has never marched more proudly to victo
ry than she will do in the ensuing campaign under
the banner of <c Pennsylvania and Buchanan .”

Common Schools and Christian
Education. .
Is it right, that the children of parents desiring
it, may receive religious instruction in Common
Schools? Though in no wise connected with the
Common School Board of this city, I feel an in
terest in this question, which I think is eminently,
vitally important to every head of family.
We have paid our money, and some of us have
given our influence, in support of teachers who
give religious instruction in Schools. Have we
done right or wrong, in this matter? If we have
injured any one, by so doing, the principles of re
ligion require that we repent and reform. Our' in
tentions have been certainly good. I trust our
practice has not been so dangerous as some ima
gine. W? do not expect a teacher to propagate
his own sectarian views among his pupils. It would
be unjust. I cannot think our teachers are inclined
to do this. If they were inclined to proselyte, they
would be unwise to attempt it in the public schools.
The intelligent teacher of the public school is not
often a bigot. He associates with different denomi
nations, and usually acquires a high respect for peo
ple of different religious sentiments. Who believes
that our teachers will take the trouble to teach
their pupils doctrine's which the parents do not wish
them to learn ?
Though there are some among us who do not
profess to have much religion, yet there are few
who deny the reality of pure religion.
I think a large majority of us desire that our
children be instructed in the law of God, as well
as in the laws of nature and. in the laws of the
land.
What harm can there be in permitting teachers
to give such instruction as does not conflict with
the peculiar views of the large majority of those
who wish their children taught to fear God and
keep his commandments ? I hope we have few
men so bigoted that they dar,e not allow their chil
dren to learn from a school teacher the articles of
their own faith.
- We know “ all sects and classes of the commu
nity ” pay the taxes and arc entitled to enjoy the
benefit ot the schools.
But rf all religious instruction is excluded from
the schools, we think no class would receive much
benefit from them, except Infidels and the immoral
classes. Individuals and sects may forbid their
own children to learn particular things, but no one
has a right to prohibit my child, or my neighbor’s,
from learning what a majority of parents believe
necessary for their children.
There can be no more injustice in compelling a
few infidels to pay their part for the religious in
struction of children from Christian, families, than
there is in compelling many Christian parents to
pay towards the irreligious education of their own
and their neighbor’s children. Religious men have
consciences as tender as men of no religious prin
ciples. A man may be injured as much by being
prevented, from doing what he ought to do, as by
being compelled to do what he ought not to do.—
He is quite as guilty who starves a child to death,
as he who poisons it.
We have no right to deprive a child of religious
instruction for five or six days in the week. If the
child has no religious instruction except on the
Sabbath, he will be likely to grow up with only a
Sabbath day religion, which is not regarded during
the week.
What is that piety worth which men put on'* as
they do their Sunday clothes, to attend church and
lay aside again on Monday morning ? But if chil
dren, learn the law of God each day during the
week, there is much more probability of their re
garding it in their conduct.
I have known some persons who have received
religious instruction when children, in public
schools, and I think not one of them has ever re
gretted it, or complained of the good old custom.
I cannot, therefore, perceive any thing wrong in
the practice, and sincerely hope it may long be
continued. A CITIZEN.

Mr. Buchanan at Home!
The Lancaster Intelligencer —Extra—has just
come to hand, with an interesting account in full
of a very large and enthusiastic meeting of the
Democracy of that city and county, responding to
the nomination of Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency.
This is all the more gratifying because it comes
from the place of the distinguished Nominee's res
idence—from which he was five successive times
elected to the Congress of the United States, and
where he first developed those noble qualities of
mind and character, which have rendered him so
pre-eminently conspicuous and useful upon the grand
Arena of the Nation?
Ahead of Rhode Island.—The provisional gov
ernment of France issues its proclamations in the
name of the sovereign people, and proclaims the
right to vote, by secret ballot, to every male citi
zen over twenty-one years of age. The revolution
is justified on the ground that the people are sov
ereign, and have the right to change their forms of
the government when and in the manner to suit
themselves. The Providence Herald notices a ru
mor that Louis Philippe is coming to Rhode Island
in order to be protected from the sovereignty of the
people.— N. Y. Eve. Post.
An American at the Paris Post Office.—
An American made his way over the barricades to

the sentinel. “But lam an American, and want

glorious news of the revolution.” K Entrez. Mon

House —Afternoon Session. —The amendments ot
the Senate to the bill relative to the Leraysville
Phalanx, were .taken up’ The following amend

well worthy the attention of lawyers, viz: ’
1. That in the case of a deceased co-partner or
co-obligor, the estate real or personal of said de
ceased shall not be .released from the payment of
the debts of the firm.
2. That it shall not be necessary to aver or prove

own property, and to exempt the same from levy

cure to married women a right of choiceunder any
last will and testatnent. Yeas 60, nays 28.

The bill to extend the charter of the Farmers’
and Drovers’ Bank of Waynesburg, also vetoed,
was lost—yeas 18, nays 54.
When it comes to voting on the vetoed Banks,
the “ conservatives” are scarce. The only one that
holds out to the last is Mr. Gordon, and we like
his “pluck.” He received 1916 out of 1923 votes,
in Greene county, and says he is not afraid that his
constituents will condemn his course.,
From the Luzerne Democrat.
Mr. Buchanan.
We copy from the Lancaster Intelligencer , an
able article on the subject of the nomination of this
gentlemen "by the Baltimore Convention. We ear
nestly call the attention of our readers to a perusal
of it. It shows in our mind most conclusively,
the feasibility of his nomination by the Convention.
The time fonPennsylvania to speak oiit has arrived.
5-he now presents to the nation a candidate of whom
she is proud, and of whom the nation will be. A
man strongly identified with the Democracy of the
land—and as strongly identified with the opinions
of the great statesmen of the Union, who are, and
have been the expounders of the Democratic faith.
With Silas Wright, Calhoun, Woodbury,
M'Duffie, Hayne, Cass, Allen, and others, whose
names are household words with the Democratic
family. Mr. Buchanan has battled in the .Senate
chamber on the side of principle—has fought the
great political battles of the republic over and over
again—has never faltered in his strong attachment
to the cause—not in sustaining Jackson and Van
Buren in the leading measures of their administra
tion I —not in opposition to the Bank—not in oppo
sition to the Maine treaty—not in the construction
of the Constitution—not in opposition to the dan
gerous theory oI the consolidation of ; power in the
general government—and in no one! measure has
he proved derilict in his duty as a prominent man
of the party. Nor has he merely cast his vote in
the manner it became him as a leader! of the party,
but he has brought to bear his great mind in
speeches made from time to time, which have be
come incorporated in the very text! noox of the
party. |
Will the other States of the confederacy yield to
the unanimous wish of the Keystone on the ques
tion of his nomination ? How can they refuse ?
When has this old Commonwealth Tailed in her
attachment to the cause of the people ? A solitary
slip, and which could not be avoided, has only
stained the brilliancy of her name from the days
of Jefferson to Polk. With this exception, Penn
sylvania has always adhered to th<? Democratic
candidate. Name nor the location of the man has
driven her from the post of duty. Time and time
again, she has saved the party. Now she demands
as matter of right a requital of her fealty.
She brings forward her man—and' a man tqo in
whose hands the destiny of the people will be safe
—a* man of strong mind, and discriminating judg
ment, a man on whom the Democracy of the na
tion can rally and with effect.
Pennsylvania must be served. She is entitled to
be heard—Jrom her past services in the great cause
she should be heard. We cannot, in view of the
equity of our cause, see wherein she is to be dis
appointed.
Horrible Accident, resulting from
the explosion of Camphine.
Two children of Mr. L. S. Bacon, of Leroy,
were burned to death a few evenings siuce by the
explosion of a can of camphine or spirit gas. A
servant girl, who was also shockingly burned, was
in the act of filling a lamp, from a <?an capable of
containing about a gallon, with fluid composed of
camphine and alcohol. A lighted lamp stood near
the one she was filling, from whence; by spilling, it
is supposed the fire was communicated to the can,
which exploded, tearing the vessel into fragments
and scattering the liquid flame over every thing in
the room. The unfortunate children stood at the
same table, watching the operations of the girl,
when they became enveloped in flames, and were
literally burned up alive before their screams
brought the neighbors to their assistance. Neither
of the parents were at home when the occurrence
took place. • Mrs. Bacon had been! visiting with
her friends a short time, and was on tier return near
the house, when the glowing light through the
window attracted her attention. The awful scene
she beheld on entering her house, is; given by the
Le Roy Gazette. “ Grace, the eldest, a sprightly and
beautiful girl, six years old, was bunted almost to
a crisp, and lay insensible upon a Ibunge, her fea
tures entirely transformed from a cheruby, healthy
appearance a few moments before, to a frightful
and blackened mass of btirned flesh, not recogniza
ble by those who knew her best She lingered unr
til 11 o'clock, when death came to her relief.—
Lathrop, the little boy, aged three years, was
burned less severely, but all efforts to save him
were fruitless. He died about daylight the next
morning. The servant girl, Jewiett,iaged 13 or 14
years, was also badly burned, and ; her death is
hourly looked for.” ’ '
Explosion of a Locomotive.
A 3 the locomotive David R. Porter'' was moving
from the Holiidaysburg Depot of the Pennsylvania
Portage Railroad, with a train of cars,* her boiler
exploded upward, carrying out the neck of* the
boiler, which, with the cast iron dome; weighing*
about three; hundred pounds, was carried, up in the
air and landed in a field some two hundred feet from
the railroad. The shed over the engine was torn
to pieces, and one of the upright posts, about three
inches square, was carried across the turnpike and
planted in the roof of the house of Esjquire Tate,,
where it still remains projecting like a flag staff
over he eave of the house, ftp engineer, Mr.
John Wagner, was severely saalded. At thg time
of the explosion, he was stooping over tfie railing
looking at a piece of iron he had placed to tym a
drop of water off the driving wheel.
