Lancaster, December 12, 1848.
President’s message.
This'’important document will be found (with
the exception of a few unimportant passages,) on
our outside pages. Although of unusual length, we
trust this will deter none of our readers from giving
it a careful and attentive reading. With no desire
to bestow indiscriminate praise on what happens
under the auspices of the Democratic party, or in
discriminate censure on the acts of'.our political
opponents, we may venture to challenge a compar
ison between this message and any similar docu
ment that, has been penned since the foundation of
nur government. We do not deem it necesaaty to
teem to eaeh particular topfo of the Message, but
certainly none of the American Presidents \m been
able uii his retirement from ofth’e to teem, with a
prouder e«uiaeiuusness, to the history of his admim
Utiata ih&tt Jamm f\ Pttfett— and lie will eur
iMrider the aflaif* of slate m his suwessQr in a
Liiiuliiioit ao probpetoua i|,at only from
foe most embittered partisan it can fail -to extort
the meed of approval Sufficient for any reasons
hie fame, fur the present time or for posterity, is
the success that has crowned the entire policy of
ihis administration. *
What, indeed, has not been accoruplished within
the brief space of four years? The annexation of
Texas has been finally and irrevocably consumma
ted. The long disputed Oregon title has been
peaceably adjusted, and the United.. States have ac
quired all that any previous administration had
ever claimed, ami much more than imperious Kng
land had ever before dreamed of conceding. The
Mexican war, forced upon the United States by a
series of the most wanton outrages, has been hon
orably closed, and the invincibility of American
arms ineontestibly demonstrated. Among the
fruits of this war, are the acquisition of New Mex
ico and California, embracing a domain of such gi
gantic vastness and of such inexhaustible resources,
that the mind is filled with amazement by» the mere
recital. But that the facts well attested by
authentic reports, they would sound more like ro
mance, than reality. Our financial condition is also
pre-eminently gratifying. The. national debt, con
trasted with our acquisitions, is but as a drop in
the sea. The American people can liquidate -this
debt in a very few years without the slightest in
convenience. They can do this especially, i/ the
present Tariff and the Sub-Treasury be not inter
fered with. These need no material alteration—for
under the one our Commerce is constantly aug
menting, and the revenue increasing—and by the
other the ruinous fluctuations of former periods
have been wholly avoided. Under the sub-treasury
system more specie has been disbursed in three
years, than was so disbured during 5"? years pre
vious, and all this without the loss of a dollar! and
with war-loans constantly at a premium! ’
Here is a picture of national greatness such as
the sun never before shone upon. ' Well .will it be
for Gen. Tatloh, and well for the American peo
ple, if he can point to such a retrospect at the end
of four years. We can disclose to him the way to
do it. Let him adhere to the principles of the
DEMOCRATIC PARTY—and in his administra
tion of the government, call to his support, not the
advocates of.-splendid monopolies and oppressive
class legislation, but men of the Jefferson and
Jackson mould, who look alone to the welfare of
the masses. We have never felt prouder of the
good old cause of DEMOCRACY than now—and
would not exchange our position as an humble ad
vocate of its principles for a participation in all
the senseless Taylor jubilees that are taking p|ace
from the Arostook to the Rio Grande.
A Sigll.
Gen. Taylor delivered a speecn recently m iNew
Orleans, to the surviving soldiers of the .Bth of Jan
uary, 181 fi. in which he alluded in a very feeling
; manner to the illustrious Jackson. He told them,
also, that *' he would be with them again on the
Bth of January next, when he would be happy to
meet all his friends, Democrats. Whigs, and men of
all parties—they were all his fellow-citizens, and
he looked upom them all as his friends." The
next morning the New Orleans Bulletin , the whig
organ, published the speech, with these important
passages carefully suppressed! They have since
appeared in the Courier and Delta.
We must confess that our hopes of Gen. Taylor
are brightening. A man that will speak in leeling
terms of Andrew Jackson, and in his classifica
tion of parties place the Democrats first in order,
need not be despaired of. These, are auspicious
beginnings. May they lead to- something still
better!
Illness of Samuel Fegely, Esq,
We regret to learn from the Reading Press, that
Samuel Fkgely, Esq., one of the representatives
elect from Berks county, has been seized with se
vere paralysis, and that his physicians doubt his
recovery'. The peculiar state of parties in the next
House of Representatives, would render Mr. Fege
ly’s death, or continued illness, a subject of much
public importance.
Pennsylvania Electoral College.
The Electoral College meet at noon on Wednes
day last, in the Senate Chamber at Harrisburg, and
was organized by the appointment of Hon. Thus.
M. T. McKf.nnan as President, of Washington
county', and Dr. Foster, of Harrisburg, as Secretary.
All the electors chosen were present. The votes
were taken separately for President and Vice Presi
dent, as provided by the Constitution, and given
for Tatlor and Fillmore.
Gen. Joseph Maiikle was selected as the mes
senger to carry the vote of the College to the
President of the Senate at Washington; Col. Thos.
W. Duffield to deposit a copy in the office of the
District Court of the United States,at Philadelphia;
and William Colder to deposit a copy in the Har
risburg Post Office. The College adjourned at 5
o’clock, after some remarks from the President.
Governor Johnson arrived in town this morning
with his family, and has taken rooms at Coverly's
Hotel.
qTj* We inform the Suhbury American that the
article on Winter" was not originally extracted
by us from that paper, but from another of our
exchanges, where we discovered it without credit.
It was placed on our outside page among the selec
tions—hence the charge that we ‘ appropriated it
to our oum use” is unwarranted. We think the
American is a little too fastidious.
Gish’s Book Store. —The reading public
Lancaster will welcome back to the book trade
?heir friend, J. Gish, who has returned to his old
stand in North Queen Street. The assortment of
books here displayed is very large, of which we ,
advise every one to convince himself by personal
inspection. Mr. Gish has much experience in his
line of business, and is withal a clever and accom
modating gentleman.
07* The Holidays are approaching, when many
are preparing to make suitable presents and tokens
of affection to those they esteem and loye. A lurge
assortment of beautifully bound Annuals, suitable
for Christmas and New Year’s Gifts, ate advertised
in to-days Intelligencer , by. Judd & Murray. We
lay it down as a rule of business, ''founded on both
reason and experience, that those who advertise
extensively are always enabled to sell cheaply.
ICTThe two districts in Georgia now represented
in Congress by Messrs. Harralson and Welborne
democrats, give Gen. Taylor a majority. Of course
these gentlemen will consider themselves bound to
support his administration or rerign.—Balt. p a t
They may find it easier to support his adminis
tration than you imagine.
A Scene at Baton Rouge!
The New Orleans Della, whose near proximity
to the military Head-Quarters of the late Comman
der-in-Chief of the “ Army of Occupation” invests
its revelations with an importance, which they
might not otherwise possess, furnishes the following
interesting details of a scene, which; recently hap
pened at Baton Rouge. The story! has intrinsic
interest, and is besides related in a hippy vein. In
our opinion, it is for some folks ah inauspicious
omen, when in the presence of the renowned Zach
ary, for fear of giving offence, the j word "whig,"
which is only a brief monosyllable, Requires to be
chawed off in the midSle.- As if in; corroboration
of these details, the Shelby Newt declares, that it has
learned front a responsible source,' that recently
Gen. Tailor committed overdue bushel of letters
to the flames, all of which Were on ( the subject of

IMPORTANT TO OFFICfrHUNTER*.
The coast packets, we untletatami, &fe doing a
line hu&iiteßMlna season, themimbep olpassmlgefs
np the rivet being eenaidefably incFeaaed. It is
thought that a new boat will hav%to l be pMt,en the
Raton Rouge line tsupply the great demand of
passengers, This upward flow of obr population,
which began shortly after the 7th of: November, t»
a very peculiar (feature of the present aspect of
affairs in our State, for the henefitiaf parties in
terested, we will state that the upward passage to
Baton Rouge, in our fine packets, is five dollars,
whilst the downward passage is on'y four dollars ;
and yet, we understand from the clerks of our
steamboats, that the latter charge is more grumbled
at than the former, which may be owing, no doubt,
to the following circumstance, wlqch we derive
from the highest authority : ;
Some day last week, after Gen. Taylor’s hegira
to his plantation, several, remarkably well-dressed
gentlemen were seen walking hurriedly up the hill
from the steamboat landing, at Baton Rouge, iii the
direction of the Barracks. A short; walk brought
them in front of the dark, gloomy-looking old of
fice, (formerly the guard house of! the garrison)
which is at present occupied by the Commanding
General of the Western Military Division. With
out delaying to knock at the door, the strange
gentlemen walked right into the office, where they
were courteously received by a plain-looking and
plainly-dressed old man, who arose! from an old
Kentucky white-oak chair, with a calf’s hide bot
tom, holding in his hand the Daily Delta , and smi
ling very benignantly upon the strange gentlemen.
Turning to. a stout-built, rather baldish, plain and
thoughtful looking officer, the elderly gentleman
begged to introduce to his visitors, Col. Bliss;
then turning to another, and younger-officer, of a
thin, sharp face, keen eye, and soldierly bearing,
he begged to make his friends acquainted with
Major Eaton; and lastly, an elegantly dressed,
handsome, dashing, and rather affected gentleman,
in whose dress the military signs were all merged
in the prevailing inode, was introduced as Major
Garnett.
These ceremonies being over, the elderly gen
tleman commenced a conversation with the stran
gers about the weather, the the price of
cotton, the state of the foreign market, thecholera,
the Austrian revolution. It was, however, quite a
novelty that the old gentleman seemed cautiously
to avoid the absorbing topics of political discussion.
At last, our strangers —who appeared desirous of
changing the subject of conversation—after beating
around the bush for some time, boldly dashed into
the political arena, in the following style :
“ General, we must congratulate you on your
glorious triumph at the late election.”
“ Thank you,” quietly responded the old gentle
man in the brown coat.
“A great victory of the Whig party, General,”
continued the spokesman of the strangers.
“ You should say a victory of the people,” sug
gested the elderly gentleman of the shaggy eye
brows.
This remark seemed rather to puzzle and dampen
the manners of the strangers, who-began to look
around so uneasily that the three gallant compan
ions of the elderly gentleman arose and bowed
themselves out of the room. The cokst being clear,
the strangers moved their chairs closer up to that
of the old gentleman of the bright eye, and seemed
to be getting quite cozy! After much hemming and
hawing, the more voluble of the strangers com
menced :
“General, next to congratulating you upon your
great triumph and the victory of the Wh—no, of
the people, our purpose in coming to see you at
present, is to submit to your consideration our ap
plication for cerfSin offices in the gift of the Presi
dent.” ~
<f ßut, bless me,” quietly interrupted the old
gentleman, I am not President yet!” '
‘ f True,” responded ; thestranger, “but you trill
be on the 4th of March; next.”
“ Had you not better wait until that day comes,
and then let us see if there are any deaths or resig
nations politely suggested the gallant old gen-
This was a regular pozer —a knock-down-tumble
over-gouge-out-my-eyes interrogatory ; and must
have been followed by but few other words, for
shortly after, the strangers were seen in the wharf
boat, hallooing very lustily for the Magnolia, which,
being the/asfesf boat in the trade, was very oppor
tunely passing at the time.
Jackson Equestrian Statue,
A young American artist, Mr. Clark Wells, is
now engaged upon the model of an equestrian
statue of Andrew Jackson, which is intended to
be east of bronze, with the cannons taken at the
battle ol New Orleans by Old Hickory. The
group will be three times as large as life, and be
erected on a pedestal twenty feet high, in front of
the President’s House, at Washington. It is the
first bronze equestrian statue ever attempted in the
United States, and it will be the first in the world
in which the horse stands on its hind legs by its
own equilibrium. That of Peter the Great, at St.
Petersburg, and that of Louis XIV, in Paris, so
famous all over Europe, represent the same atti
tude, but they'are supported by the tail of the
animal, the extremity of which is riveted to the
pedestal.
“ Buckshot War” in Ohio.
During the whole of last week, “confusion worse
confounded” has prevailed at Columbus, the seat of
government of Ohio. The Senate has only been
half organized, and the House of Representatives
not at all. Up to the latest advices the Democrats
had possession of the Hall, eating, drinking, and
sleeping there, without adjournment, and yesterday
they were to have preaching. It is much to be
hoped, that the latter ceremony has had the happy
effect pf restoring peace and order. It is believed
that there will be no legislation this winter. This
state of things is much to-be deplored.
Melancholy Suicide.
Mr. Lot M. Irvin, an extensive iron manufac
turer of Mercer county, Pa., formerly of Cumber
land county, and brother oi Gen. James Irvin of
Centre county, committed suicide by hanging, on
Wednesday last. No cause assigned for the act.
A Strict Constructionist. —One of the mem
bers of the New York Electoral College did not
attend the meeting, and his place was supplied by
the election of another. The reason pf his non
attendance was that he had promised hit wifei he
would never hold an office, and she being a strict con
structionist, would not let him off.
ID" Senators Benton and Butler have become
reconciled to each other. Benton, o» the day of
the meeting of Congress, advanced, the correspon
dent of the Journal of Commerce says, and offered
his hand to Mr. Butler, which was accepted.
!D"The London Timfs is rather indignant
against the Spanish Government, for being disposed
to sell Cuba to the United States, a import of such
negotiations having been spread, and in admeasure
believed by the Times, though - denied! by Mr.
Saunders, our minister in Spain. ;
Judicial Appolntinents.
From the -American Law Journal, an excellent
work published in this city, by Geo. W. Hamersly
& Co., we learn, that the commissions of the fol
lowing President Judges expire during the term of
Governor Johnson, and will have to be filled by
him:
Hon. Geohbe W. Woodward, President 4th
District, appointed 9th April, 1841.
Hon. Benjamin Patton, President sth District,
appointed 20th March, 1840.
Hon. Samuel Hepburn, President 9th District,

t-'mtn-oi Lancaster; appointed Ist May, isdu,
From the same journal we gather the following
tacts lelative to the position of Attorney General
Coyesit; who D also a member of the Hfoise of
Representatives eleoi from Adams enmity: Chief
Jiwtiee Giußßif. J. t). Hannathi, ['time tf. -Mark
lev, and John W. Uaiihelly, were Deputies uf
the Attorney General, and Klms Lewis was At
torney General, ami all of them, were, at the same
time, members ot the Legislature. The same rimy
be said of Mr. MAhtiiur, Gen. Piper, Mr. Dale,
Col. Onrt and Mr. Hynkman, all of whom were
Deputy Surveyors, hut their duties involved no
exercise of the sovereign power. Gen. Rogers
was Collector of Tolls and member of the Senate,
upon the same principle. So that we perceive no
Constitutional objection to the-exercise of the
duties of both offices-by Mr. Cooper. In this view
of the ease, the next meeting of the Legislature
will present the singular coincidence that while
the acting Governor will be a member of the Sen
ate, his Attorney General will be a member of the
House of Representatives—but the Governor ean
.not serve as a Senator.
Thanks to Gen. Taylor.
It will be recollected that at a lormer session of
the Massachusetts Legislature, the Senate refused
to pass a vote of thanks to Gen. Taylor. Several
of the Whig politicians of that State, thinking, new
that Gen. Taylor is elected, that this was an over
sight, or a little too palpable an exhibition of. the
old leaven - , started a notable effort at the recent
extra session of the Legislature for the choice of
presidential electors, to “recover arms.’* On the
first day of the session, Mr. Bryant, of Bane, pre
sented a petition ol 30 persons, praying the Legis
lature to pass a vote of thanks to Gen. Taylor, for
his military services in the Mexican war, and
moved that it be referred to a select committee
with instructions to report forthwith in accordance
with the wishes of the memorialists. The motion
being laid on the table* by a vote of 132 to 122,
Mr. Emmons, of Sturbridge, offered the following:
Whereas, we have evidence to believe that
Gen. Zachary Taylor, was, and now is, opposed to
the late Mexican war, and that by his military ser
vices he did muoh to bring it to a close—enough
to render his name jnunortal, which services do
not seem to have been duly appreciated by a former
legislature, but we feel disposed to do him justice,
therefore, as a testimonial hereof—
Ordered, That before proceeding farther in the
important business which has called us together,
we do now give to him* the said Gen. Zachary
Taylor, and that the same be entered upon the
Journal of this House, a vote of thanks.
Immediate action being objected to, the order
was laid over one day, agreeably to a rule of the
house. And on the next day, when the-'order came
up, it was again laid on the table.
It will be seen that virtually, the resolve thanks
Gen. Taylor for being “opposed to the Mexican
war, not less than tor his services therein—ser
vices, it says, which seem not to have been duly
appreciated by a former Legislature. Gen. T. was
refused a vote of thanks, because his services aided
to carry forward •an unconstitutional and unholy
war —and now, the subterfuge is that these were
most effective in bringing it to a close! But even
this evasion fails to effect the object, and
Taylor is refused the thanks, though lie gets the
vote, of Massachusetts.
South Carolina Crisis,
In the Legislature of South Carolina, last Friday,
resolutions were to be introduced by Mr. Joseph A.
Biica, emphatically declaring any law of Congress
prohibiting slavery in New Mexico and California
a wanton, undisguised insult to the South, and that
they will never submit to it—authorizing the Gov
ernor to call the Legislature together in case of the
passage of such a law, and inviting her*sister South
ern States to consultation and co-operation ill avoi
ding or resisting the threatened danger.
Whig Wit.
The whigs must beallowed to indulge themselves
in a joke now and then, on their recent success, for
it is but seldom they have an opportunity. On
Thanksgiving Day, in Boston, the following senli
timent was drank, which may be considered very ■
clever: Taylor —unlike the most of
his cralt. he will re-dress the people, without spon
grup.''
The County Offices.
The Prothonotary, Register Recorder, and Clerks
of the Courts, elected last October, entered upon
their duties on Friday. December I.
In the Prothonotary s office Mr. Sloek will be as
sisted for the present by his predecessor (Dr. Kurtz)
and his deputy (Mr. Bowman.)
Mr. Brubaker, Register, has appointed Mr. Ed

Dr. Bowman, Recorder, continues Mr. David M.
Lebkicher as deputy Recorder.
Mr. Kauffman, Clerk of the Orphans' Court, has
appointed Mr. Dysart his deputy.

Great Telegraphic Feat.
The entire message—and an entirety of such a
length is not often sent to afflict printers was
telegraphed to St. Louis, the task being completed
on Wednesday afternoon, in just twenty-four hours
from the commencement. The message was writ
ten out in full, following the copy verbatim, even to
the punctuation and paragraphs, a thing not usually
done in telegraphing. The number of words was
50,000. In its progress to St. Louis the message
was dropped at the following stations along the
line,viz: York,Harrisburg, Carlisle, Chambersburg
Bedford and Pittsburg, in Pennsylvania ; Massillon
Cleveland, Zanesville, Columbus, Dayton and Cin
cinnati, in Ohio ; Madison and Evansville, Indiana-
Louisville, in Kentucky, and Saline, in Illinois; a
large portion oi the message reached Buffalo, New
York, but the connection was broken off by a storm
prevailing at the end of the line before its comple
tion ; it was also received at all the minor inter
mediate stations between Baltimore and Evansville,
Indiana. The idea of a document filling twelve
columns of the Union, appearing in print in a city
nearly one thousand miles from Washington, twen
ty-four hours after its delivery, is almost beyond
belief.
Painful Rumor. — -Vhe Doykstoicn Democrat of
Dec. 6, says.—We hear a painful rumor about a
melancholy family affliction visited upon that good
man, the Hon. Morris Longstbeth, of Montgom
ery county. The substance 6f the rumor is, that
his own dog went mad and bit his son, a promising
youth of about sixteen years of age, his hired man,
and several of his most valuable imported stock of
cattle. We sincerely hope that the sad intelligence
may prove without foundation.

ID* Several weeks ago, a communication ap
peared in the Examiner <§r Herald, accompanied by
an editorial article, imputing to the Judge and In
spector of the election in Paradise township, inten
tional wrong and gross violation of law, in the
rejection of the' vote of a Mr. Jacob Linville.
This attack has elicited from Messrs. Girvin and
M’llvaine. the officers in question, the following
defence, which in justice to them we take pleasure
in re-publishing. With no desire to revive the
controversy, we yet cannot withhold the expression
of our opinioh, that the defence is entirely conclu
sive and satisfactory. Acting under the solemnity
of an oath, the officers of the Paradise election may
well have dojtbted whether Mr. Linyille was a
qualified voter—and the fact that even the Lancas
ter lawyers differed in opinion, proves that the
right of the applicant was by no means clear. We
are hot lt learned ill the law* ourselves, but the
sUtimeut subjoined leads us to the opinion, that
Mf. L. was tint a qualified votetvand that the de
eisiuu eoiHplained ol; was, therefore, in ait respects,
both lawful and proper.' We may add, also, that
Mesai's, M kvAiNfi and Uttmx are both consfiem
tfous and upright men. who acted in this instance,
as in all others, ficun foe highest sense of propriety
and doty, As they would he the last to exclude
the ballot u| a qualified vuter —su they would not

by law.
Paradise, Twp. Nov. 27, 1848.
Our attention having been directed to a com
munication in the Examiner & Herald of the
15th Nov,, over the anonymous signature of “ a
looker on,” in relation to the proceedings of the
iS locofoco officers” (as they are termed) of the
lute election in Paradise twp., we delayed an
swering him, in the 'expectation of getting the
the real name of the author, when we should be
able to judge of his motives, and then answer
him accordingly. But in this, we have been
jdisappointed, for he has refused to give his name
and persists in charges which ho is either asha
med of, or has not the moral courage openly to
defend. We think it but justice to ourselves to
make a fair statement of the facts ; for u “look
er on” has entirely misrepresented the case.—
But to the facts Arthur Linville, Esq. remov
ed from Salisbury twp. Lancaster county, in 18-I*l
to the state of Ohio, whtfre he became a resident
and a citizen. At this time his son, Jacob Lin
ville, was a minor, and living with his father,
and about nineteen years of age. He remained,
and went to school to the Rev. Dr. .Timlow. in
said twp. until the fall of ’45, and being yet a
minor, he went to the state of N.. York, and
taught shool part of the time; spent some time
in Ohio with his father, and returned to N. York
and went to Union College, and did not return
to this State till August ’4B, and never was as
sessed in Pennsylvania, until after that time, ha
ving been out of the State nearly three years;
and two of them after he became of age.
Having these facts and the plain election law
before us, and after having heard all the argu
ments for and against‘his right to vote, and after
taking the most favordble view of the case for
him, we decided against him ; which decision
was strengthened by the knowledge that his vote
had been rejected in Salisbury, at the Governor’s
election in October last, which he claims .as his
native place, and not by “ locofoco officers,” but
by two Whig inspectors and a Whig judge: Our
decision was opposed, and we believe, it is the
first time in the history of the in Para
dise twp, that the decision of the judge was not
yielded to.
It may be proper here to mention, in order to
show the state of the case, that when Mr. Lin
ville’s vote was rejected he demanded his tax
to be refunded and his name erased from the
duplicate, which was done, and bis receipt de
stroyed. He applied to be assessed in Paradise
twp, when it was considered too late, the assess
ments having closed the day before. He then
went to the collector of Salisbury twp, on the
P rece( ling the Presidential election,
paid his refunded tax and'got second receipt.
We merely state these things to show Mr. L.’s
unsettled residenc.e and location.
By request, and in order to make a satisfacto
ry disposal of the case, we consented to consult
counsel, and in this the “ looker on” has grossly
misstated the case. The first understanding and
agreement was, that Mr. Stevens and Mr. Baker
were to decide the matter ; but before the par
ties left for Lancaster, there was a proposition
made by a Whig, who took a very active part,
that “ we have the opinions of others” besides
that of Messrs. Stevens and Baker. We, still
anxious for a satisfactory adjustment of the mat
ter, again consented to consult other counsel,
which “a looker on” must remember; there
were several mentioned in the two parties ; Mr.
Frazer and Mr. Ellmakev were.then spoken of,
and the different opinions of persons reported,
by the two.parties, with the very fact of Mr. L.
having on his paper the names of others favorable
to him, proves clearly that there was an under
standing that other counsel were to be consulted
(for he had the names of two others on his pa
per) and that there was not “ a full and clear un
derstanding by all the parties interested, that the
written opinion of Messrs. Stevens and Baker
was to decide.”
On the return of the parties from Lancaster
we stated that the opinions of the gentlemen
conflicted, and as our opinions were unchanged,
we thought the matter rested just where it did
before, and we refused to alter our decision.
We have given a plain and brief statement of
the case, and our reasons for adhering to our
first decision ; we shall now leave tile matter in
the hands of an impartial public to judge, and
rest m the firm conviction that we have per
formed our duty according to the law and the
lacts of the case. D. GIRVIN,

Cholera in England.— We learn from Wilmer
it Smith's European Times that “ the total number
of cases of Cholera already reported from its first
appearance, has now reached 1,059, oi which 513
have proved fatal, and 331 are still under treatment.”
The alarm in regard to the reported cases of
cholera at New York is fast subsiding. The Trib
une says:
There seems to be no alarm respecting the advent
of the cholera among us, and this is undoubtedly a
favorable symptom, lor there is-no doubt terror is
as fatal, at such times, upon human lile, as the pes
tilence itself. Yet nevertheless, we hope that a
greatly increased activity will be observable among
our sanitary authorities, and the vile and abomina
ble nuisances of the streets sjll be at once abated
It is a matter of life and deatfl; let us se how much
longer our rulers will dare neglect it.
Cholera in New York. —The New York papers
of Friday morning report 25 cases of Cholera so
far, 14 of which have proved fatal. All were at
Staten Island except one, who had been discharged
from quarantine, and was afterwards attacked in
the city.
Perpetual Motion.—A man in Georgia im
agines that he has discovered perpetual motion It
is a wheel that is kept turning by small arms
which are extended on one side of the wheel and
drawn up on the other.— N. 7. Star. *■ ’
The above is as intelligible as Sanscrit and at
clear as—mud. s
es - Tatloh, President elect of this great repub
lic arrived here on Monday evening, ami has his
head-quarters at the St. Charles Hotel, where l‘im
now abiding; and could you witness the fawning
and flattering which are bestowed upon the old man,
you would be satisfied that a beginning.of his trou
bles has commenced, and that the greetings and sal
utations which he now meets with, are any thing
but satisfactory to him. He cannot move but what
men and boys are at his heels; and although, on a
visit to the city on private business, he has not an
opportunity of giving it the attention he desires.
1 learn he has, within a day or two, purchased
another large sugar estate. He has sent on to
Washington the resignation of his military com
mand, and has ordered, than our most fashionable
tailor, two suits of French black, and will not, alier
this visit, show in his dress any or the |iomp and
glory which he has so well earned in Mexico, ’The
tieueral tries to be'all things to all meni but there
is evidently m he »een-lliat he begins to liink iipon
himseli with the dignity and height ol ihrtnue,
that be has a world at command, and that tie in,
tends to do pretty much as he pleases; and a* be
Inis now no aids with or about him, he looks and
acts as it he intended to do his own business, inde
pendent of the many suggestions as to what he
should do ; and I certainly am of opinion that the
wliigs ol New Orleans are degrading themselves in
the, estimation of President Taylor, by commencing
thus early in presenting themselves for office; and
to judge from his remarks to day, which were made
at table, you need not anticipate such a turning out
and putting in office as the tvhigs eecptcl. The Gene
ral is of opinion that faithfulness, competency and
responsibility are very impprtant requisites in men,
and he thinks the administration of this govern
ment should be so conducted that political feeling
should be laid aside; and that men of worth can be
found in- both parties who will unite with him in
doing what is right und proper. I was very much
pleased to have his opinion of Judge Woodbury
the late Silas Wright, and Judge Wilkins. Silas
Wright he entertains a high regard for, and thinks
his death has created a void. Wilkins and Wood
bury are men whose opinions he would much ap
preciate, and the lamented Judge Porter, of Louis
iana, would, no doubt, share largely in his confidence,
were he alive. i.
Gooey s Lady s BookJ— We have received the
January number of Godey's popular Lady's Book
the gem of the monthlies," as it has been very
justly pronounced. It contains 72 pages of excel
lent reading, and its embellishments rival any
thing ever before produced in the style of a month
ly magazine. The cover, and title-page of the
volume, are executed. with all of Tucker’s culti
vated taste, besides which, it has a beautiful mezzo
tint by Walter—“the Dawn-of Love"—an eques
trian tashion-plate— a flower piece—colored Model
Cottages—a variety of other engravings, and two
pages of music. The contents of the jiumber are
exceedingly varied, and are made up from the pens
of all the old favorite contributors,—and surely no
magazine can present a stronger or more talented
array. We like, exceedingly, the rivalry which
has sprung up in our magazine world, and while
Godey, as now, takes the lead -in this city, in taste,
beauty and excellence, he need fear no competition
from other quarters. Terms— s 3 per annum, with
the Lady's Dollar Paper— -to be had at J. Gish &
Brother s Book Store in Lancaster.
We learnithat Gen Taylor has sent in his res
ignation as Major General commanding the Wes
tern Division of our army, and that it will take
effect after the Ist of February next. It is a re
markable coincidence, that the late order of the
War Department to General in relation to
the transfer of Gen. Ttviggs from his post on the
Rio Grande to the command lately filled by Gen.
Kearny, at St. Louis, was dated the 7th of Novem
ber, the day upon which the people ordered the
General to prepare to assume, on the 4th of March
next, the.office of President.— N. 0. Delta.

piness, and in many cases their lives in the hands
of Physicians ignorant of this class of maladies. It
!8 certainly impossible for one man to understand
ail the ills the human family are subject to. Every
respectable Physician has bis particular branch, in
which he is more successful than his brother pro
fessors, and, therefore, to that he devotes more of
his time ami study. Dr. Hunter is known to be
the most successful practitioner in the United States
in diseases of the sexual organs
YEARS OF PRACTICE exclusively devoted to
the study, and treatment of gleet, stricture, effects
of solitary habits, ulcers upon the body, throat
