The Charter Election.
V' TO DAY. 111
The Democrats of the City assembled in the
Court• House, on last Thursday evening, and corn•

The proceedings will be found in another column.
We witnesstsl the medits operandi of making nomi•
nations in General Mass Meeting, by ballot, and
like it exceedingly. It brings power directly into
the hands of the people, without the intervention
of ally extraneous agencies, This is'Democratic
and alike admirable in theory and practice. What.
ever Federalists may affirm to the contrary, the
masses are honest, patriotic, and intelligent, and
"capable of self government,"

MICHAEL CARPENTER presented kir reelection
—aname,synonomous with all the virtues thatadorn
tee upright Citizen and the intelligent and efficient
Magistrate. The history of Mr. Carpenter. affords
a beautiful exemplification of the practical bearing'
of our republican institutions. Mr. Carpenter is a
Mechanic, and in 1 8 , 1:1 was taken f•om the work•
bench and elevated to the - Mayoralty of this city.
He has discharged the trust so efficiently and well,
if •.
that he has been re-elected each successive year, and
is again presented to the public suffrages, under
• auspices, that leave no room to doubt of success.
Such examples speak in louder terms, than could

among our worthiest citizens,rwho will not tail to
discharge their duties with fidelity. We trust that
it would be an act of superoregatios for us to urge
the Democracy to turn out to the polls to day. and
adhere unflinchingly to the regular nominations.
Our political toes have long and earnestly sought

Our townsmen, E. ('. DAnxixoTos, editor of the
Examiner, and G. W. HAMERSLY, editor of the

with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Penn

of the press upon this kind appreciation of their
labors by an Executive, to whose success no two
gentlemen in the state contributed more essentially.

It may smack somewhat of egotism. to be sure,
but as we ate not included in the category of ex.
peetants we may be permitted to say, that no class
of urn more richly deserve the honors of their
party, when it has them to bestow. than the con

of their party. Not only do they manufacture

Effect of Evil Example.
.luxe N. NILES, of Connecticut, former Post
master General of the United States under Mr. VAN
. .
Buncy, and at present a Senator in Congress. elec
ted by the Democratic party, is now running as the
Abolition candidate for Governor of that State!
No public man in New England has been more ten
derly nursed and "petted - by the Democracy than
this same :Nil. They have defended him
i . roni a load of obloquy and reproach that would
have forever crushed him—and such is frail human
ity!—he is now requiting it all, by lending his
name to the destruction of the same noble party
that has thus uniformly and generously sustained
him. Poor NILES is, however. not so much to
blame. lie is the bosom friend of. VAN MILLEN,
and "like master, like man, - has proved a true adage.
It only tarnishes another melancholy proof of the
pernicious influence of evil example.
News for Mr. Blanchard!
We learn that Mr. PLUMER, the State Treasurer,
has been in Philadelphia, since the Ist instant, pay
ing off at the counter of the Bank of Pennsylvania
. the semi-animal instalment of interest on our State
Debt, due that day. Heretofore but one third has
been paid in par funds, but now, owing to the suc
cessful exertions of the State Treasurer, one half.
It will doubtless be gratifying to Mr. BLANCHARD,
the funny whig, Congressman from Bellefonte, to
know, that the •good old Quaker Commonwealth' .
has not yet repudiated. owing to the °•ruin' . brought
upon her by the Tariff of 1811 i.
• " Old Zack is Conning.'•
This , popular catch-phrase of the opposition
presses and stump-orators is literally verified. Gen.
Txm.on, vulgarly termed "Old Zack, - President
elect of the United States, is on his way to Wash
ington, to assume his high and responsible duties.
He left his plantation at Baton Rouge on the :10th
ultimo; accompanied by lixxit r CLAY, on board a
steamer for Vicksburg, his first stopping place on
the route up the river. He expects to reach Wash
iiigton passing through Pittsburg and over the Na
tional road, via Brownsville, Pa. Extensive prepa
rations are being made at all the intermediate points
to extend to him a reception correspondent with his
exalted character and position.
Hoy. WILLIAM N. Incrsz, President Judge o

New County Prison.
iVe are gratified to' learn, that the Board of
County Onntnissioners - bave.adopted I a desigli'br
the norivilled Architect, Jans Havriarrn, for the
erection of a splendid County-Prison, othe ground
immediately West of the Reservoir, at,the head of
East King street. The work is to be commenced
immediately, and prosecuted to rapid completion.
The prison is to be constructed and conducted on
the plan, which has gained to Mr. Ha4riasrn such
deserved Celebrity, not
.. nnly in. this Country, but,
throughout Europe. The Lancaster !prison will'
no doubt be one of the Most splendid structures of
the kind in the United States. Its cost will be
$ 1 02,000. It will accomodate SO prisoners ;
douhle the extent of the Berks county prison, with
an enclosure sufficiently extensive to afford room
for 1110, should crime keep pace with the increase
of population, which we do not hope The main
front will comprise 150 feet, end the enclosure will
form an area of '3OO by 500 ;feet. The principal
tower will be 110 feet high—Which is 14 feet above
that of the Reading prison—the entrance gate
towers, :it) feet. But its distinguishing .excellence
will consist in this, that it it to he lighted with
gas, generated by rut apparatus inside the building.
Time is now but one prison in the world, which is
lighted in this way—the Pentonville, neer London,
the first English prison constructed on the "1 - Inei•
land plate"
We cannot forbear referring in terms of commem
dation to the enterprising spirit displayed by the
County Commissioners, in the contyact for this
much needed structure. They have imposed no
parsimonious restrictions upon the design in any
essential particular, but are founding 'a prison
worthy of the gigantic resources of the county.—
It is sincerely to be hoped, that without liniching,
into i in proper and extravagant expendi tu rei, the erec
tion of this edifice tray lead to other and equally cub .
slant nil improvements.
Election of Judges.
Among the Democratic newspapers of the state,
we are glad to find an increased interest displayed
in the success of the proposed amendment to the
State Constitution, taking the appointment of the .
Judges away from the Executive, and vesting their
election in the people. A number of our, most in•
duential Exchanges have either openly avowed
their approval of the measure, or given it their im
plied sanction, by copying extracts from other jour
nals in its favor; To us, it is most surprising that
proli•ssed Democrats should be found arrayed,against
it, suffering their zeal tbr liberal principles to be
out-stripped even by the Federalists! As ',a of real practical Democracy, lopping off one
of the most aristocratic features of the Constitu
tion, and bringing an important branch of.d-overn
omit immediately under the popular control, no
measure of greater magnitude has been agitated in
our State for many years. As the Constitution
provides, that all amendments shall be pasSed by
two successive Legisl , atures, and afterwards submit.
ted to a ~ofe rf the people, no possible harm can re
sult nom passing the proposed alteration through
its preliminary stages. If the People themselves
decide at the polls, that they do not covet such ex
tension of sovereign power, a nd,ll. an act of patri
otic Self-Denial, shall declare tAt they prefer to
, mntintie the selection of the Juili4i - ary in the hands
of the Governor—then there is an end of the whole
matter. So mote it be! But give them, at least,;
the opportunity of declaring their opinions. Do,,
not smother the subject by taking that for granted
which remains to be proved.

The insinuations of the Huntingdon Globe, copied
into the Pottstown Ledger, as to our motives for the
insertion of a short paragraph against the division
of Berks county, are simply ludicrous. We assure
these editors that we have not conferred with any

Fatal Railroad Accident.
.A shocking accident occurred on the Railroad,
near the " Bird-in-hand," about 4 miles below this
city, on Wedneaday evening last. The axle of the
locomotive broke, whilst the cars were at full speed,
causing the train to run over the Engineer and
Fireman, killing them instantly. The name of the
former was HENNT Munany, the latter GSORGE

has left a family. The bodies were taken to Col

with the honors of Odd Fellowship, of which fra

CARGO INSPECTOR
.7, lietelimaii, Philadelphia
Mr. Buchanan.
We have on our table a recent copy of the Ger
man 'View,- Official Gazette of Vienna,
containing a well-written sketch of JAMES BUCHAN
AN, and speaking in terms of high commendation
of his despatches as Secretary of State. Most of
his writings have. been translated into German—
as was the whole of his celebrated argument on
the Oregon title—and all, the Zeitung declares,
have been warmly admired lhr their lucid perspi
cuity; their chaste and temperate simplicity, and
their entire freedom from useless and ostentatious I
lIIMEM
This fact comes opportunely to hand just now,
that the Philadelphia Public Ledger has indulged in
acrimonious criticisms against the Secretary of
State, for an alleged mistake in defining the law of
treason—and which, by the way, the reader will
find satisfactorily explained iu another column.—
Mr. BUCHANAN has now presided over the State •
Department during nearly a full presidential term,
and in that time has conducted the settlement of
f great National questions, whirls have not been sur
passed for their magnitude and intricacy by any
agitated since the foundation of the government.—
The hyper-critics of the press must be driven to a
desperate extremity, if they can lay to his charge
only a sold ary mistake—originating in the hasty - •
despatch of another—and which it was not left for
themselves, but for himself. to discover and correct !
We hardly know which pays Mr. BUCHANAN the
best compliment—the Wiener Zeituagpor the Letr.
In respect to the increase of salary, there is not
a dissenting voice in this county. The bar have
unanimously requested it—and the newspaper
press, without distinction of party, has declared
in its favor. All agree, that the salary should be
correspondent with the increase of duties, and that
the Judges of the Common Pleas, in the words of the
Constitution. "shall receive an adequate compensation
/or their services."

The county officers and citizens of the State

The month of January has been noted this year,
fur the severity and steady continuance of the cold
weather, the prevalence of N. W. winds, and the
unusual height of the barometer. The coldest day
of the mouth, and the winter thas lar, was the 11th;
the next in severity were the 2d, 12th, and 19th .
It may be interesting, and useful for future reference,
to transcribe the observations for these four days,

(3d.) and the highest (55d.), on the 26th, g ives a
range for the month of 32d. The mean of the
observations at noon equals Std; and of the night
ten degrees lower than the same mean for
Novemher. Did I nut tear occupying too much of
your space, I would add the barometrical observa

It may be sufficient to remark, that the barometer
stood almost uniformly during that period, above

by every means proper to be employed by an Amer

scarcely add that, whenever the occasion may re

have been naturalized under our laws, are, to all
intents and purposes, as much American citizens,
and entitled to the same degree of protection, as
though they had been born in the United States.

A Remlnlsence.
Tribute to the Noble Dead.
The Rev. J. N. MA VIITT, in the Methodist
Flnirch in Little Rock, Arkansas, preaching a ser
mon on the Future State, incidentally alluded to
the recent death of the lamented SEVIER, in nearly
the following language:
"Strange are the teachings of Death! It starts
up like a spectre in the rosy fields of human life—
breathes mildew on all the flowers of love and
happiness! The iron hand knocks loud—startling
,wtul, ;it the proud doors of thy domes of power,
oh Arkansas ! Not only at the cottages of the poor,
but at the mansions of the rich, Death comes alike
to all !
But late, one who had pressed the Executive
chair—who had stood in the Senate Chamber of
the Nation—fell, crushed, pierced in the red horri
cane of battle, and breathed out Ins life where the
dread cannon shook the hills and made the stern
appeals to Heaven!
Again, another falls in the Senate Chamber, and
the State is called to mourn over one of liar most
gifted and honored sons!
And now, to the names of YELL and ASULEY,
another must be added :—a pale, bloodless hand is
engraving the name of SEVIER on the viewless
tablets of Eternity!
Passing up the beautiful tide that laves your
" City of the Rock,' but two days since,—and there
Was one passenger: oh how still and cold he was!
;In that dark and flashing eye there was no flume.
The sceptre had passed from thr.t splendid throne
of the intellect. The great warm soul had left the
tenement ? The towering mind had gone over the
everlasting hills; and there the raven locks of
SEVIER lay, damp and calmly on the pale brow,
from which human agony had forever passed. I
could but gaze—long and sad—upon that still, but
voiceful, spectacle! I had seen him in his coun
try's halls of power, when his dark eye spoke of
mental strength and pride of life. I had heard of
him ' and followed him in my mind's eye, as, like
the dove bearing the olive-branch of peace over
the still agitated, but subsiding, billows of war, he
sheathed the arrows and waved the olive-branch of
amity towards a conquered city—a subdued realm !
I had followed him to the ancient seat of the Aztec
power,—had, in the vision of light, seen the glori
ous standards ()four country wave at his approach,
—heard the roll of one hundred American drums,
—seen the smoke-wreaths leap in mad delight from
the roaring cannon's mouth, to hang festoons npo`n
the stars,—seen him in the deep aisles of that old
temple of religion, with a parchment breathing
peace in every line,—laid upon that solemn altar
of God,—seen the firm hand of Freedom's son
write the name of SEVIER to a treaty of peace in
his great country's name! How could I help but
breathe out my dear Saviour's sweet words :
'Blessed are the peace-ntakers,for they shall be called
the children of God.'
I could Mit gaze and think, and think, till those
great 'thoughts that wander through eternity,'
rushed over my soul.
