The adjournment of the Legislature, which took place on vector-lay at 3 0 o’clock, was marked bv .the usual bustle and anxiety in regard to the mea sures which were hanging up hv the eye lids a*, the last moments of the session. Many bills squeezed through within the accepted time, and many still remained undisposed of. . There was one matter, however, remarked by all- who had been of adjournments for many years, and that was dial the utmost good icclieg prevailed amongst al! mm of all pat tb*s in the Legislature. The closing ad dress of Speaker Packer, was highly affecting, and started in many an eye the parting tear of regret, which speaks a silent eloquence that no tongue can communicate.— Democratic Union.

Distress!!!# Accident The Bradford reporter of Wednesday last con tains the following melancholy announcement, than which no event within our recollection has given us more heartfelt regret. We sincerely sym pathise with Mr. Wilmot and his estimable lady in this their hour of trial. May a kind Heaven grant them fortitude to bear up against a calamity so terrible. The Reporter t says, that “ Cla.iie.vce. a 6on of Hon. David Wilmot, aged about eleven years, came to his death on Monday evening last, by eating of the Wild Parsnip. He wey? attending Misses Robbs’ school at Athens, and in company with another lad, in the fields, ate of the root, ■which caused his death after much suffering, in about two hours. The other lad was’not so badly poisoned, and is expected to survive. This sari and distressing bereavement falls with more severity upon his parents, from both of whom he was ab sent, coming as it does without a single-warning of the dreadful calamity which had befallen them. An Alphabet of Srort Rules— Well-Work Remembering. —Attend well to your business. Be punctual in your payments. ‘ “Consider well before you promise. Dare to do right. Envy no man.

Mr. Buchanan’s Visit We announced in our last the arrival of the Hon. James Buchanan, who has sought in a friendly visit to his home—among his old townsmen and neighbors—a brief relaxation from his arduous labors as Secretary of State at Washington. Our distingQished visiter leaves here to return to his public duties at 12 o’clock to-day. During his brief sojourn in Lancaster, Mr. Buch anan hasbeenwaitedonbyhundredsof our citizens, many of whom came a great distance from the country, to shake by the hand and exchange salu tations with one, whom they have long and in timately known, and whom thus to know is to. es teem and admire. The occasional visits of Mr. B. to this city are always distinguished by the familiar greetings of old and devoted friends, who. come to revive former intimacies and pass in review the interesting reminiscences of the past. But on no former occasion were these visits so numerous, warmhearted, and enthusiastic, as on the prepent. Among other manifestations of the regal'd of the community, our citizens, without distinction of party, lamlornd to Mr, Buchanan the compliment of a public dinner, which lie was, however, owjng to the m’iwiry of IBs public duties, compelled to decline, Not the lenst umong Ills pruUoti is the tact, tint whilst no public man in the nation bun» tains'his political opinions with moro firmness and consistency, he has ever espoused them In a man ner t® ictftin the entire reypect of political oppo nents, who do not hesitate to award tohim the most commanding talents, and the purest personal char acter. Wc subjoin tho interesting correspondence that has passed on this occasion; Lancaster, April 14, IS4S, Hon. James Buchanan : " Dear Sir —The undersigned, citizens of Lancas ter, avail themselves of your brief presence amongst your old neighbors and friends, to invite you to par take of a public dinner in this city, at such time as may suit the demands of your public duties. We have known you long and intimately, and, although many of us j differ from you on questions of public policy, it aiTords the most sincere pleasure to all to offer this slight mark of social kindness, and of re spect for your private worth and eminent abilities. We trust that this testimony will be none the less gratifying because it comes from individuals of all parties, and is intended only as a sincere proof of our high regard for the purity of your private life, and our admiration of the eminent abilities which you have displayed to the nation and to the world in the discharge of your public duties.

Imuii honored by llie receipt 'of your vary kind invitation to’ partake of u public dinner with niv “ tfld neighbors and frionria” of the city of Lancaster, This. testimonial of vour por* aonal regard lias afforded me tho moat cordial sat isfaction, proceeding ns> it does from those who have known me longest and know me best. It gives assurance that when 1 return to Lancaster I shall be welcomed home by a society as estimable as any in the Union, among whom I cherish the hope that, with God's blessing, I shall pass the last days of my pilgrimage on earth. 'This testimonial of your regard, I assure you, is none the less grateful to my feelings, “ because it comes from individuals of all parties.” Freedom of opinion is an inestimable blessing secured to every citizen under our happy form of Government, and “to speak his thoughts is every freeman’s right.'* It would he at war with this sacred right to suffer political differences to disturb the private relations o/ friendship ; and I can appeal to you all that 1 have ever endeavored in my intercourse with, my fellow citizens", lo act in accordance with this, sentiment; Devoted as I am to the principles of mv own party, I have never condemned any man for holding opposite opinions. I am, therefore, proud to number-among my personal friends many who have been, my most decided political oppo nents. Let us ever in Lancaster, in a kind and forbearing spirit, agree to disagree upon great po litical questions, and thus we shall preserve har mony and good neighborhood throughout our so cial circles. Under these circumstances, it is with great re luctance that I feel myself compelled to forego the privilege and the pleasure of accepting your invi tation. I mustreturn to-morrow to the performance of my public duties at Washington ; but I shall bear with me the cheering conviction that I still retain a warm place in the regard of ray fellow citizens of ail political parties in the city of Lancaster. Yours very respectfully, JAMES BUCHANAN. Ellis Lewis, Michael Carpenter, A. L. Hayes, Christian Bachman, Lewis Harford, C. Hager, Geo. B. Kerfoot, John F. Shroder, Esquires, and others. Tribute to tlie Memory of Mr. Adams in France. On the reception in Paris of the intelligence of the death of Mr. Adams, our to that Capital promptly issued a recommendation to his countrymen to wear crape, and to the captains of American vessels in French ports, to put their colors at half-mast. The state of things in Paris preven ted his ordering the office of the Legation to be closed. £7* The resolutions of thanks to Gen. Wool, and also of sympathy in the Republican movement of France, have passed both Houses of the State Leg islature at Albany. New York. Our Cause and the Country. Our reliance upbh the strength and justice of the great Democratic cause, our confidence ih the good faith and fidelity of its friends, and our- experience upon former occasions, when the ascendency of.our principles has been endangered, and the welfare and even the existence of our political organization put in peril by a cotnbination of unfavorable influencesr lead us to believe that the difficulties which now threaten to* disturb the tranquility of the democratic party, may be yet fortunately overcome;..and that, united, we may be perpetually able to resist and de feat the enemies of our own liberal and patriotic public policy. As the party which has generally maintained a popular supremacy in the country, and exercised an almost uninterrupted control over its public affairs, we have become the most* fully identified with its progress and prosperity. Our national commer cial policy is purely democratic.. Our system of fi* nance equally so. The schemes of the whig party to seise and squander the public lands have been again ami again thwarted nud condemned by the lined hostility of tho ptmplu to such undisguised sys> terns of public plunder. The democratic party alone Inin been Jealous of encroachments from abroad, and promptly resisted und avenged foreign Insult and nggro*»t»n. By the llrinnon und fore' sight of democratic oitbiuat*, the American doc. trine of rosUruncc to all Kur<>po»n intervention in the affairs of Norih American governments, has been announced and established ns a fundamental doctrino in our national: creed. Every enlarge meut of our national bound irios—every extension of our institutions—every addition to the numbers of the confederacy, has bben resisted by the whigs, and effected by the force and influence of the dc mociacy. Now it is idle to pretend that at the present mo ment is any serious sentiment operating in the public mind which contemplates or is prepared for any sudden and total abandonment of what now constitutes our national policy. Such a revolution in politics - can only be brought to pass through the agency of disguise, and scarcely then, except in the event of a disunion of .the democratic party. Can it be possible that there are any in our ranks, and especially among those who have heretofore distinguished themselves by their devotion to the cause, who can calmly regard the ‘‘deieat and dis grace" of the democracy, in the great moral strug gle of 184 S as a consummation, under any contim gency whatever, to be permitted or endured ? Wc believe, at least, we hope, not. The commanding position which the democratic policy now occupies has been achieved by sacrifices too great to be sur rendered without any sacrifice whatever. The la mentable fruits of its overthrow are too inevitable to be lost sight of or disregarded. The whole dem ocratic fabric will be swept away. If we are not mistaken in the national character of our principles, and the influence which we at tribute to the measures wo advocate, then, it is not merely infidelity to pnr'.y. hut to country, on the part of any section of the democracy, to withdraw from the support of its legitimate candidates, und thereby permit the defeat of those issues which must become involved in the campaign. If the democratic party is the pariotic nary of the country —if under any other ascendency there will bo no national progress, and no permanent pros perity—if interests will be surrendered, and high national grounds, which we have now assumed, will be yielded by others, if ime-Med with “a little brief authority"—if our own defeit will place the destinies of the republic in the hands of an un worthy minority—if we are sincere in our political acts and professions—then no'king can justify a deser tion ol our principles upon the eve of battle, which can amount to no less than a' voluntary betrayal ol our cause into the hands of an eager and implaca ble encniv. Sympathy for the French, At a crowded and spirited meeting held at Pitts burgh on the Sth instant, the Mayor was called to the cluir. supported by nine Vice Presidents, and six .Secretaries, in whom were represented all par- ties and presses. * The following enthusiastic resolutions, reported tfommitte of which James S. Ciuft. Esq.. was Chairman, were adopted by the '“multitude who thronged the Court House, with universal ac clamation and applause: Resolved , That all men being born free and equal, it follows as light radiates from the sun, that anv as sumption of individual superiority by which one man or set of men claim the right to dotnineer'over their compeers or associates, is arrogant, baseless, and absurd. Resolved, That while revelling in the enjovinont .of liberty of thought, speech, uid action ourselves, we desire to extend those blessings wherever the orb of day shines upon man. and therefore hail with delight the resumption of their rights by tho peo ple of France, and scorn to libel our own expori encc by denying to them the capacity-of self-gov ernment. Resolved, Tlmt wo cherish the hope that popular power will continue in its progress to crush the tot tering thrnnm of tyrants until not only nil Europe, but the entire breadth of Grid's creation, shall be mine an association of republics, in which tho Creator's im ige shall Im no longer trampled upon by lu« own likeness, but- oi|Ualilv, liberty, and fra ternity elevate, enliven, ami hi ml together an unit ed World, That llm prompt recognition 01. the l-'rotu’li Il'Mpuhlie by our Mlnlator in that mulmi, mid ih» il"i'iil"il iiml monl y approva) of 111* course by lb" IVi'Miib'iii of the Viiiiinl Status, meets wiih ton iMi’iltiil 'ar.in inet. of ilm mii/.oiiH of ihiri country, Tiir Aurnu-AN IToime mvrutiN tup. hutehnai. till.MU' or TUG KhUNi U nation, Cliai ft r Flections in IVt*w York, Tim (.'lmrtfT elections in New York were held on Thurduy with the following re.-ult: In New York city Messrs. 1 !a\ernoyer nnd Loo nor.!, the Democratic candidates for Mayor and Almshouse Commissioner, are elected.

PjTTsnuno. April 12. IS-IS. ThU morning five terribly destructive fires occur red in this city. The first lire broke out in a stable near the canal, and before the flames could be sub dued, twenty-six houses were destroyed, and three smoke houses containing seven hundred thousand pounds'of bacon, the property of Holmes. Brother, Jordan & Son, Acheson & Dagg, and Carson and McKingle. The smoke houses were insured. ’ Four houses were consumed at the second fire, including Hills’ paper factory. At the third fire, four houses were destroyed two of them dwellings, besides a stable. At the fouith, two houses. At the fifth, three stables and a dwelling in Mulberry Alley. The fires were raging in different parts of the city at the same time. The loss must be immense, although no correct estimate can be made at present. DZT Gen. Houston*, the Hero of ban Jacinto, in a recent speech at Boston, alluded to the effect of the conduct of the opposers of the Mexican war, in this country, upon the Mexican people. As Gen. Houston has had a pretty good opportunity to know something about the Mexican character, his evidence deserves implicit confidence. We clip the following paragraph from a report of his speech published in the Boston Post: After discussing the boundary question, which he considered as* established by no less than thirty distinct facts, he spoke of the course of the oppo nents pf the war in the United States j the speech es of Corwin, Clay, and others of that stamp. Those friends of Mexico, actuated with the hope of ob taining the control of their country, were responsi ble for every drop of American blood shed and every American life lost, since the capitulation at Monte rey. The circulation which these speeches ob tained in Mexico, and their influence upon the popular mind, was such, that they could not, if they would, entertain proposals for peace.

The following is an extract-of a muer from our old friend and follow-tow luman, .-amuol Horn, who went to Mexico, as Drummer in Captain Millers company. ‘‘Sam" is an old soldier and a very gooJ one—this is his third campaign, and ,well warrant he has hickory enough in him to go through one more. His Democracy is as tough as las physical strength. This letter was received by his brother: “Col, Wynkoop is a good officer, and very’ much respected in the army. He has come out a strong democrat. The Speeches published by our great men at home, have had a bad effect here; among the soldiers, many who have been Whigs, have turned Democrats—there are five or six instances oi this kind iu our own company. The Lexington speech of Henry Clay has been published in the Mexican papers, and very highly commented upon by them. Men who profess to be friends of our country, and conduct themselves in this manner, ougut to be senr out here, and placed in front of such forts and batteries as we had to face at the Castle of Chapultepeck. I don’t think they,would make many more such speeches.’ —Easton Argus. ED". The iV. Y. Express , in speaking of the im prisonment of Nugent by the U. S. Senate, for send ing to the N, Herald a copy of the. treaty, sur reptiously obtained, says— “ This case has made a great deal more talk, and excitement than was at all necessary; It is a sim ple case of a witness's standing mute, which in all bodies having the powers of a court is contempt, and is punishable accordingly, by imprisonment during that court’s sitting; and sometimes.by fine.” Dreadful State of Affairs in Yuca tan—An Appeal to the U. States. The Yucatan Government has sent a representa tive to Washington, to solicit interposition and aid against the depredations of the Indians, whose re cent insurrection has already been noticed. He ad dresses a memorial to the Secretary of State, Mr. Buchai?an, in which he says: “ The Indian war, that atrocious and savage war fare, as conducted by them without- 1 sparing either sex or age, is,.at the present time, of a most for midable character for Yucatan. The savages have destroyed four towns and more than fifty villages; they have overrun more than two hundred farms and as many sugar and cotton plantations; they have , violated cemeteries, assassinated hundreds of white families, and at the last accounts, were mas ters of all the eastern and most of the southern portion of the Peninsula of Yucatan. The work of 300 years of civilization, and the improvements which our best citizens have by their labors erect ed, have ail disappeared wherever they have been subjec.t to the savago attacks of this accursed race, who, at the present time, are carrying fire and over tho formerly huppv homos of the poopto of Yucatan. Immense hordes of this ma lignant race fall with surprising rapidity oil the tie fijncolcsß villages, leaving them heaps of ashes, ami tin'll withdraw themselves to tho woods, for ests. and other Inacoossihle spots of the country, evading and tantalising our troops, who are unable to come up with them. It is true my government sent a coinmlsslnn to Ihnt of the Heine, to beg them in |>ut a stop to the selling o( arms mut ammu nition to tlm Indian*, and that that government re plied, that It would do so. lint, air, 'l nm well aware of the eomiition of my country and I believe that there haa been no sale of arms made to them.

Its last resort is this appeal to the United States—which it calls “ the foremost in the ranks of American civilization.” Sp&in has offered aid, but it docs not-come, and England is favorably disposed, but as vet does nothing.* Mr. Sierra pleads the declaration of Mr. Monroe? en dorsed 4>v Mr. Polk, that the United States would view as dangerous the interference of European .powers odour cont nent, as a ground of objection to the intervention of Spain or England. Hoquotes also a despatch from his government instructing him to remind the Secretary of the enthusiasm of our country in the cause of the Greeks, and to sav that Yucatan would be able to repay all advances, if once more restored to peace and industry.

From ths Washington Union , April 14. Vive la Republlque!—Sympathy for the French. TumiSDAY sight. —We have no time to des cribe the animated meeting which has just taken place in this city in honor of the new-born republic of regenerated France. It was one oi the largest aud most,enthusiastic celebrations which have ever been in Washington. The meeting increased from small.beginnings to an immense crowd. We saw two members ol the Cabinet, and several members of both houses of Congress mingling with the mul, titude. General McCalla presided. The meeting took place at the Franlin Engine House, on the Avenue, near Williard s Hotel. The most thrilling resolutions were adopted in honor of France and in honor ot liberty. The meeting was addressed by several members of Congress—Mr. Morse, of Loui siana; Gen. Foote, of Mississippi; Messrs. Thomp son, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. :?tanton, of Tennes see—and Mr. Grund; the speeches being interspersed with noble music from the Marine Band. The Marseilles hymn was sung; and, amidst the cheers of a large crowd, and the music of the band, the torch-light procession began to advance up the avenue by the President's and Vice President's houses, and, returning around Lafayette square— the Vice Presidents among others—wcrehandsomely illuminated. More order, more harmony, more enthusiasm, more devotion to the cause of France and to the cause of liberty, we have never seen on anv occasion. Several articles have appeared* of latej in the pa pers of this city from the Board'.of Directors and others, discussing the propriety of introducing re ligious teaching in our Public Schools, j A writer over the signature of a “Citizen,” in your last number, asks the question whether “ it is right, that the children of parents desiring it, may receive religious instruction in the schools ?” This question might be’ answered in the affirmative if there was no danger of infringing on th'e rights qf others; if the community was united in [sentiment upon creeds and confessions of faith—no reasona ble objection could be nrged to this measure. But uppn this point, in'my opinion, does the whole con troversy rest; it is the difference in the religious convictions of the public that creates the difficulty and the great ob«(acle to the introduction of religi ous instruction in our public schools ; and if we are to be guided by the.experience of those!who have preceded us, in experimenting on this subject, where the children of Christians, Jews, or Gchtlles may be congregated, we will .find that few instances can bo cited in which the attempt may havo been made, but it ha* been generally unsuccessful, j Many ob jections have been- urged against the introduction of religious instruction In tho public! schools; among tho must prominent that maybe cited, in the fact, llint tho taxes by which tho public Schools arc supported, are paid by the various sects of cbrls- Hans In the community, and that cnn*el|mnitly nil should lm rntliled to their ho.nellts 1 yei the Intro dilution of rellglmirt- instruction, to those who may be cnnsulonllmisly opposed to it, will compel them to submit to an not of tyranny, or the only alterna tive will he left, m place them in private schools, at an additional expense, whero suuh regulations do not exist. 1 The right as well ns the duty of religion* instruc tion, undoubtedly bulong* to the parent.] lie alone is responsible If lie is negligent in this respoot, tho dill'orent religious associations aijd Sunday Schools, &c , connected with our churches, will alVord ample facilities for this purpose. Many of our citizens oppoao this measure from the simple fact, that the schools havo gonerally rendered sat isfaction, for a’series of years, before this qnostion was agitated 5 and 1110 apprehension e.vjsts that a change of this nature would be likely fo produce discord where harmony has heretofore existed.— Since the discussion of this question j has been mooted, I have searched in vain for a provision in the common school law authorizing the introduction of religious instruction in the public schools, but I could find no law sanctioning a measure of this kind, I The question then naturally presents ijself: have the Directors of the common schools of the different districts of this State, the right to introduce religi ous instruction in the schools xinder their supervi sion? ! I think no intelligent individual conversant with the law on this subject, can for a momefil suppose they possess this power; if so, I should like that reference would be made to the Act oflthe Legis lature, authorising the same. No such :lavv could be framed ; because it would conflict with the Con stitution, winch expressly provides “ that! no human authority can in any case whatever, control or in terfere with the rights of conscience.” | The attempt has been made repeatedly in vari ous districts throughout the State, to introduce reli gious teaching in the schools, but whenever objec tions were raised by a portion of the tax-payers, and reference was made to the Superintendent as ufnpire, the decision has always been in'opposition to the measure. The Constitution also states “ that no preference shall be given by law to any religious j establish ment or modes of worship ; ” yet if a religious mode of instruction or worship be introduced into the public schools, a preference would be given by law to sectarian or “ religious modes of [worship,” giving a construction to the operation ofjthe school law never contemplated by its framers. ; A Citizen ” appears to think that if ia majority require tli s mode of instruction it would! be proper to introduce it. ! In the first place,.we have had no evidence to render it probable that a majority of tiie citizens were in favor of this measure. But suppose a ma jority of the tax-payers of this city werj Jews or Roman Catholics, and that they would wish to in troduce their creeds and confessions of faith \ their version of the scriptures, &c ; would he rest satis fied under this state of things ? I think I might venture to reply and say he would not. : We have a Constitution, and laws enacted to “guarantee to all,the minority aswell as tfiemajority, equal rights. If this is not the case, th'e Constitu tion becomes a mere nullitv. If the provisions of the Constitution be Objectionable to the people, the remedy is in their power, they can have it amend ed, but so long as it does exist, so long does it guarantee to all our citizens freedom of conscience, equal rights and privileges. SIGMA. [Note nr The Editor. —Our columns are, of course, freely thrown open to both sides; in the dis cussion of the interesting subject treated of in the foregoing communication. At the same time, the Editor takes the liberty to declare his djissent from the opinions and views advanced by baoM.v. He yields to no one in deprecating and opposing the inculcation of sectarianism in the Common Schools, but he draws a wide distinction bet\Veen such teaching, and the teaching of the pure and vital, the essential and undisputed, truths of Christianity. He would flee always, as from! pestilence, but from the revealed religion never. This should prevail, not only in. the schools, commoner uncom mon. but in the counting-house, the study, the work-shop, on the hills and in the rallies—wher ever the imprint of man's footsteps is seen. Above all places on earth, however, religious influences may most properly begin in youth, and in the schools.
