• but the other daytliat the Abolitionists were refused permission; by an overwhelining vote of the Legis tore or New Hampshire, to hold meetings in either legislativeihill, on the ground that the-objects of the society were incompatible with those southern interests secured by the Constitution, With which the. northern people hid nothing to , mid which could never be agitated without dingoand alarm. It is the power and influence of unite , republican ism and patriotisiu which ties the han s of the Abo litionists and fanatics in the North, . d scorns their doctrines." "Notwithstanding thie 'strong ex ressiawof opin ion of the Legislature of his ow. State, I find the honorable gentleman often voti : with those who are opposed to the existence slavery. But the gentleman may offer as an e use for taking this position, that helelaiMs no at nity with the democ racy of New Hampshire, asmuch as he is now representing the Whig por on of that State, and therefore is bound-by none of its decisions. If so, he certainly cannot be charged with bentg faithless to his trust. But, sir, if'appears to me that he was guilty of one inconsistency, at least, in wandering from the main subject of his speech for the purpose of attacking the proceedings of the Baltimore Con vention, and declaring that in that Convention the South ruled the North.. This permits me -to take the liberty of asking him whether the South did not rule the North in the Whig convention held in Philadelphia? Was General Taylor the favorite, or the choice of the North? ;Did not some of the northern delegates not only not vote for him, but refuse to ratify his nomination, until anopportunity of consulting with their constituents had been af forded them? Was not the whole stomach of the North, in fact, sickened by the dose which the South compelled it to swallow? Was it not publicly said, in 'Convention, that the forced nomination of Gen. Taylor was a virtual annihilation of the Whig party? Then, I would ask the gentleman, who ruled in that Convention—the North or the South? If he says he does not know, I will tell him to ask 'the Northern States in general, and the editor of the -New.York Tribune in particular, and I presume he will be enlightened upon the subject. But, sir, to return to the subject more immedi ately before us, having shown, I think conclusive. ly, that, so far as any action in this House is con cerned, the Abolition and Freesoil parties are acting in concert, I will prodeed to show, that instead of being friends, they are enemies to the slave race, and that the - course which the former heretofore pursued defeated the object they-had in view ; and that the course which both parties are now taking together, will have the same effect. • In 1832 the question of the emancipation of slaves in Virginia was extensively agitated in that. State. Although the subject before that time had been forbidden ground, yet by general consent the ques tion was put in such a shape that it could properly be met. The people took ground on both sides. The members of the Legislature were divided on the Subject. The feelings of the people of the whole State at length became so enlisted in the matter, that{ it was finally resolved to test the question at the ballot-box, at the next ensuing election of mem bers to the Legislature. The result was, that every member of the preceding Legislature who had ta ken ground in favor of emancipation, save one, were re-elected by greatly increased majorities; thus showing a decided popular majority in its favor. :Not only this, but other slaveholding States had so far caught thespirit of Virginia, thatit was proposed to hold a Southern Convention, fox the purpose of forinin ,, some plan for the general emancipation of their slaves. Sir, no sooner had this grand project begun to shed its cheering beams upon the South, than-a dark cloud arose in the North and obscured their brightness. That was the cloud of Abolitionism. Had it not been for that, a vast number of slaves: would now have been enjoying their freedom. The moment, the South became apprised of the opera tions of; the North, all idea of emancipation van ished, and it planted itself upon its constitutional rights: - And could it do less? Would it havebeen consistent with its dignity to have yielded to this attack upon their domestic institutions No, sir they would have been derelict in duty to themselves and to posterity had they done it. Upon whose shouldershen, let me ask, lies the charge of the existence of the institution of slavery, to the extent to which it now exists Upon none other than those who made the attack upon it. They have been the means of drawing the cords of slavery closer than they otherwise would havebeen, and to them belongs the credit of havingdone more injury to the race than, I fear, they can ever do good. And such will continue to be the case, as long as this improper crusade is carried on against the South. If, sir. these people could succeed in their enter: prise. would they stand in a better light before the world, or 'verve more praise from all moral and good men Y It should be recollected that there are two sides of the picture which we are now contem plating. If slavery is an evil, would not emanci pation bring upon the nation one still greater Sup pose the three millions of slaves who now exist in the united States, could at the same moment be set free; could they maintain themselves in the South. and enjoy all the comforts of life that are now af forded them! Experience has thus far taught us that they could not; that freedom, in most instan ces, has a deleterious effect upon them, and in its enjoyment they sink into an abandoned and profli gate condition. But suppose the blacks should leave the South, which the greater portion of them inevitably must do ; where would they go? Would they go to the free States? Sir, it must not be forgotten that they have already been driven from the State of Ohio at the point of the bayonet. And why Because the intelligent and far-seeing people of that State will not suffer emancipated slaves to come among them, to plant a free colored race, to breed mischief, misery, and crime, so generally incident to them, and generate subjects for almshouses. Can they go North? If they did, I fear that they would not • meet with a warmer reception there. But if, per chance, they might get 0 foothold there, their situa tion would be miserable indeed, as I think I shall show before I conclude. But suppose they are driven from that quarter whither would they flee? Could they throw themselves into the arms of the American Colonization Society? This could avail them comparatively little,• inasmuch as it would - not have the means, or the power of extentling its benefits, if any, to so great a number, and especially within any reasonable period of time: for, by the last report of that society, it appears that but four hundred and forty-three emigrants have been sent to Liberia during the last year. At this rate, how long would it take to colonize three millions , Not less than six thousand seven hundred and seventy -two years, to say nothing of the increase during that period. And what would be the expense which must necessarily be incurred- by it? By the same report, I find that "the average expense of trans "portating to Liberia, and supporting there six "months, each emigrant, may be set down at fifty -dollars," which for three millions would amount to the sum of one huridred and fifty millions of dollars. And can this enormous expense be incur red? No, sir. The country is not rich enough and liberal enough to do it. It has not the power to accomplish so vast an enterprise. And, sir, the experiment in Liberia is in its in fancy, and the great question of its utility is yet a problem. For the race is so physically constituted, that I fear they will never be capable of self-gov ernment, and that they can never exist as a distinct people. They have minds, it is true, but minds which education can scarcely brighten. They are in every respect a peculiar race, entirely distinct from the Anglo-Saxon race, for whose use nature seems to have designed them. Their physical for mation, their ideas, and their mode of expressing them, are entirely different. They lack also in judgment, enterprise, and general aptitude for busi ness. They want a leader to guide and direct them. And, in fact, everything pertaining to them seems to indicate, that they are a race ever destined to be governed. If these views be correct, where can the blacks be governed better than where they now are? Go to the peaceful plantation in the South, on which they reside, and contemplate for a moment the comforts of life—yea, the happiness which they enjoy. They are generally,well fed and comforta• bly , clad, In sickness, every necessary attention is paid them, and in old age a comfortable support is allowed them; and whn their lamp of life goes out, they are decently committed to the grave. They are, while living, kind and affectionate to their masters, by which their masters becoine attached to them. Their interests being mutual, a correct and friendly state of things cannot but exist be tween them. -How different, in every respect, is their condition from that of the free negroes of the North.! Let us in imagination, sir, accompany our northern friends there, and for a moment contem plate the scenes there presented. There we shall find. wretchedness and misery presented to us l ‘r , the most frightful forms. We shall find them liv ing in miserable hovels, in the midst of filth and • vermin; their nakedness half covered, and themsel ves half starved. Call diem from their refuges, • which serve more to shield them from the frowns of better educated and enlightened man, than to protect`their from the rude blasts of heaven, and ask them if they are comfortable and happy, and they will tell us no. Ask them if they are treated kindly by the white race, and they will tell us no. They will tell us that they are frowned down, and scarcely looked upon as huthan beings. And it is so. They are indeed civilly and politically.se,Lat nought. The rights of citizenship are denied them. and. they are in every respect placed in the lowest scale of human beings. And indeed they, as well as the slaves of the South, never can be made good citizens, or become attached' to the institutions of the country. So thought the garl of Dartmouth in 1777, who, when speaking of the slave trade , . with the American -colonies, said: "We ...cannot allow the colonies "to check or in any degree dis "courage a trafic so beneficial to the English nation." Again, said be "negroes cannot become republicans; "they will be a power in our hands to restrain the tin "ruly colonists." • - Then,. if the situation of free negroes is such as we havedescribed it,vvhy this boasted philanthrophy in the North, this burning zeal iniavor of a simi lar' race in another portion of the Union? Why not let charity begin at home,:and do its work there first? And why pot present aletter state of things and a better record of morals there before they begin to preach to their neighbors. Now, sir, let us glance at the criminal statistics of a few of the States, and see how much greater a proportion of bintks have been imprisoned for crimes coo- miffed than whites, and how many more free ne• groes than slaves: The State of Maine has a population of 501,793 Of these; ire free colored 1,355 There have been imprisoned in the last ten years —whites 279, colored 14, making one for every 1,798 of the former, and one for every 97 of the latter, Massachusetts has a population of 737,699 Of these, are free colored 802 Imprisoned in the last ten: years—whites 943, colored 101, making one for every 773 of the form er, and one for every 80 of the latter. Rhode Island has population of 108,930 Of these are free colored 3,238 Imprisoned in the last ten: years—whites 194, colored 55, making one for every 544 of the former, and one for every 58 of the latter. Connecticut has a population of 309,978 Of these, are free colored 8,105 Imprisoned in the last ten years—whites 1,351, colored 447, making one for every 297 of the form er, and one for every 17 of the latter. Thus it will be seen that there is a greater num ber of crimes committed_by the free colored peo ple of the North, in proportion to their numbers : than by the white race. And it is a remarkable coincidence, that in the States of Massachusetts and Concecticilt, which have professed more compassion for the colored race than either of the other States that I have mentioned, a greater proportion of crimes have been committed by it. a What has been the cause of it, I leave to this committee and the country to judge. I mill now endeavor to see. how the commission of crimes by free colored per sons in these lUD Slates will correspond with the commission of crimes in two' other States, to wit, Maryland and Virginia: Maryland has a population of 969,232 Of these are free colored 62,020 Slaves 89, 4 95 In this State, I must remark, that there was no law authorizing the imprisonment of slaves in the penitentiary prior to the act of 11th March, 1846. Since which time there have been imprisoned only six, being bst one for every 14,010, during a period of nearly three years. Virginia has a population of 1,239,796 Of these there are free colored 49,852 slavei 449,090 There have been received into the penitentiary of this State, since 1815, and condemned for trans portation, five hundred and seven slaves, making one for every eight - hundred and eighty-five, and only so small a number during a period of Thirty jinn. years • 'bus clearly proving the commission of more crimes among the free negroes than slaves. A.al•to what can the difference be attributed? To nothing, sir, but a better guardianship over them, and a better protection of their morals. Who, then, .!an claim their freedom? Do their masters claim it Do the slaves theMselves claim it? No; for they Ire attached to their masters, and will not leave them. Then, sir, who has a right to interfere with them I I answer, Ab use. If not, then in the name of, and for the good of our common country, I say, let them remain whei'e they are. LE is both impolitic and dangerous to disturb them; impolitic, because no positive good can result from it; and dangerous, for the consequences may be of the most unhappy character. Of this, other men in other times were fearful, Washington, when - speaking of the "unity of government, - said: 'Accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of the palladium of your "political safety and prosperity ; watching for its " preservation with zealous anxiety; discountenanc jug - whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it can in any event he abandoned; and indignantly "lemming upon the first dawning of every attempt to "olienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties cinch now link together the various parts. - And Mr. Jefferson, after he had retired to private life, alluding to the disturbance produced by the agitation of the slavery question. said. "It comes upon me like a fire bell in the night, to disturb my repose." Sir, it is indeed a *fire-bell - to every good man and every patriot. and it ought to sound an alarm throughout the land. Let the question be asked, for . frhut are different porticos of this great Confederacy contending p` Let the answer. be candidly given—fir a negro s skin. Is this to be the entering wedge to disturb the peace and destroy the unity of the nation t Is this to compel the sword which has just been re turned to its scabbard, reeking with Mexican blood, to be again unsheathed to trink the blood of bro thers in civil war? This reminds me of other ages, when trifling causes divided empires, and swept nations from existence. But, sir, that must never happen here, and, in my opinion, it never will. There is too much patriotism in the country to allow it. Concession and compromise must and trill prevent it. I invoke their aid. I invoke the forbearance of both extremes of the Union. I call upon them to meet together upon the broad platform of justice anti equity, where the patriots of other days have stood. I call upon you, the representatives of the nation, to do your duty in this eventful crisis. I call upon the people to urge and compel you to do it. Now is the time to set tle the unhappy controversy. Delay is dangerous. Something should and must be.done before - the ter ruination of the present Congress. Let this House, then, at once legislate; and legislate for peace. If no territorial government can be established in our Mexican possesions satisfactory to all, let them be admitted into the Union as a State at once. The latter, in my opinion, is by far the most preferable. The suffering inhabitants of that country demand it at our hands. As the great prize of war, we ought ,to show our just appreciation of it, and not let its brilliancy be tarnished by neglect. Be sides, such a course would, in my opinion, give finality to the unfortunate feud in which , we are at present engaged, and repose to our troubled Country. If so, a grateful nation will applaud us, and poster ity will bless us. SMOKING AND SNUFFING.—A - F;ench legislator has proposed to the Assembly to pass a law—asked leave to bring in a bill, as we say—to tax smoking and snuffing ; the proposition being, that every person intending to smoke or snuff shall obtain a license to do so, the price of which is to be fixed at five francs—ninety four cents. The author of the proposition estimates that this will produce a tax of forty millions of francs, which presupposes that one in about every four and a half persons will purchase licenses. Nothing is said about enewing, from which we infer that the number of tobacco masticators must be but few. In the United States more tobacco is used, we suppose, in proportion to our numbers, than in any other part of the world, for the plain reason, that it is cheaper here than anywhere else, and where cheap it is sure to be useu to excess; for r, man appears to be almost as unrestrainably a consumer of to bacco as the tobacco worm itserl ; and they are, we believe, the only two animals—the one the noblest in creation, the other the ignoblest—that can endure it. This is singular, bt it is so, and demon strates that a taste for the weed is only an acquired and forced one. A tax on tobacco chewing, smoking andsmang, at the French rate, would produce in the U. States not less than six or seven millions of dollars per annum, upon the supposition that not a great num ber would relinquis'o the indulgence in preference to paying the tax. We do not reu.iminend to our legislators to tax this luxury—the use of tobacco; we only notice what is proposed in another republic, which it.may be well enough to remember, as well as the propo sition of AL Portqils to tax refractory and unmar rying old widow.ers and bachelors, which produced lately a good r',eal of consternation among the two doomed fratesnities, and a good deal of merriment at their expense—W ashington Globe. WVMEN AT A Pnixiirm---A lady writes from SAD. Franscisco to her friend in Massachusetts: The demand for marriageable women seems to be as great as for goods. This is the only country in the world where women are properly appre ciated. The proportion of males in the territory is five to one M. females, and the labor of females is as much needed in cooking, &c., at the gold re giun, as the males. There have been more mar riages the last few months than in ten years pre vious, in this country. The squaws, before they will go to the gold regioh, make efforts to get white husbands, which they soon obtain in the prevent state of affairs. Father Manaque, the Catholic priest, has informed me that he married the last month 110 white men to squaws. The con; 3equence is that the poor Indians will soon be left without any class of lemales from which they can choose,—as certainly no white woman of whatever condition in'society, will marry an In dian , when she can readily marry a white man of sonle wealth and pro minence. Some of the most ugly and slovenly sery ants here, marry traders who have. accumulated forteues id a week. • Ittelligeitter & 3ourital. E. W.IIUTTEFt,„EbITOR. Larawler, March 20,1849.

We are credibly informed that they sell goods of the latest styles at very low rates. By the way a correspondent gives a sharp rap of the knuckles to those who are prejudiced in favor of, or against any particular section of the city in the purchase of goods. - irrThelton Argus has been enlarged, and furnished with a new and handsome dress. The Country Press throughout the State has recently much improved. We doubt whether a State in the Union boasts so many well•conducted newspapers as Pennsylvania. Lancaster Savings , Institution. The bill for.the re-charter of the Lancaster Sav ings Institution for a period of ten years, commen cing April 14, 1850, has passed the Senate of Pennsylvania by a unanimous vote, and the House of Representatives by a vote of 44 to 28. This will be acceptable news to our business-people generally, who are familiar with the sound and prudent policy with which its affairs have been cc•uducted. The unusual vote in its favor proves that it has passed the legislative ordeal with more C o han ordinary success, which it has doubtless well merited. Appointments to Office "I have no _friends to reward, and no Foes to pun ish."—Gen. ZACHARY TAYLOR, before the election. IVILLIAN B. Noun's, Esq., formerly of Lewis town, at present a resident of Lancaster, to be Sur veyor of the port of Philadelphia, in place of Gen John Davis, removed., WILLIAM ScoexAmEn:Esq., (Native American,) to be Navy Agent at Philadelphia, in place of Col.

"To be continued.- We do not complain of the abstract fact that Democrats are thrust out of office and Whigs put in. But we do censure and condemn Gen.

The Democ racy carry every member of the Councils, Judges, City Auditors, and Constables. Speech of Mr. Bridges. The usually crowded state of our advertising col umns, together with a press of other matter, has precluded us from the publication of many lengthy Congressional Speeches. We have concluded to find room. however, for the entire remarks of Hon. SAM'L A. Barooks, representative Irons the Bucks and Le : high district, on the slaver}-question, and bespeak for them an attentive perusal. Although himself a Northern man, both by nativity and residence; Mr. Bninoss sympathises with the South on this grave issue, and eloquently depicts the Wrongs they have sustained at the hands of Northern fanatics and enthusiasts. It is so seldom that views like these find their way into the public prints in this meredian, that we are the more gratified to lend our columns to their wider dissemination. The speech of Mr. BUIDGES is one that reflects credit on his talents as a public debater, and abounds in patriotic and statesmanlike suggestions. It is deeply to be re gretted that this •vexed question" has not been de cided, but is to be thrust as a source of bitter and angry dispute upon another Congress. APPOINTMENT BY PRESIDENT POLK—By and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate.—Captain GEORGE C. HIITTER, formerly of Easton, Pa., to be a permanent Paymaster in the U. S. Army, with the rank of Major. Although our near relative, wemust be permitted to state, that the appointment is well deserved Captain H. served with distinction in the Florida and Mexican wars, and is esteemed by all who know him as a gallant soldier, an upright citizen, and, better than all, a consistent mid thorough- going Democrat—the latter being a quality, by the way, which in the Army and Navy is too seldom found. The Home Department The Pennsylvanian furnishes the following sy nopsis of the provisions of the bill creating the Home Department, recently passed by Congress. It will be seen that it effects a consolidation of numerous bureaus, heretofore connected with other Departments, and that it will constitute an office of immense responsibility and labor. If the synop sis here given be correct, the bill is defective in its application to the State Department, which has the care of all the copy-rights granted to authors, and of the quarterly enumeration of emigrants arriving at the different ports—matters which should clear ly have been transferied to the. Home Department The organization of some such department at Washington has long been much needed, and we doubt not, when perfected in its details, will prove an acknowledged convenience, with which the pub lic would not dispense for ten times the expense. It is to have a Secretary and a Chief Clerk, the former at a salary of $6,000, and the latter at a salary of $2,000; and all its other officers are to be taken from the other Departments along with the Bureaus which are to be transferred from them to the Home Department. The new Department takes from the State Department, the superinten dence of the Patent Office and Census—from the Treasury Department, the control of the Land Office, the Coast Survey, and we believe, the Light House Bureau—from the War Department, the In dian and Pension offices—from the Navy Depart ment, the Naval Pension Bureau—and from the Executive, the control of the Penitentiary and the Commissioner of Public Buildings. That is, the headPof these several Bureaus are to report to the Secretary of the Home Department, (instead of re porting, as heretofore, to the above named heads of departments, respectively.) and to the Executive.

'Now,' added he, I am delighted that I have disposed of all my pat ronage." Laconic iiad imitative.

Brevity is commendable, sure enough, for it is described as "the soul of-wit." But we have often heard it contended, that wit ceases to be wit when retailed at second-hand, originality being one of its essential ingredients. Mr. CLA.iToN's jokes are the sheerest imitation imaginable—an open attempt to mimic the despatches written by Col. Buss and signed by his 'venerable and much respected father-ifi-law, General TAYLOR. This, then, may appropriately be termed the 'imitative administration. Gen. TAYLOR is to imitate GEonor. WASHINGTON, a stretch of the presumptive faculty which cannot fail to excite a perion's risibilities. JOHN M. CLAYTON, in turn, is to imitate General TAiLoR, of which he has given specimen No. 1, in this little letter. THOMAS EWING, we suppose' when snugly cushioned in the Home Department, will select as his model JOHN M. CLAYTON. By the. rule of gradation, CHARLES B. PENROSE and JASPER BRADY will pattern after EwiNo, and cut their coats and wear their hats as he may set them an example. And by the same rule, the Clerks and Messengers will look up to the "Assistant Treasurer" and the Second Auditor, walk as they walk, talk as they talk, write as they write, em bracing even the laconics. And all this that the administration may bear the name of Washing tonian ! f.Gf' We recently published, with 'editorial com mendation, the speech of Mr. F'snr a, of the House of Representatives, in favor of the completion orthe North Branch Canal. The object was to prove, that the completion of this work would not only make productive the heavy expenditure already incurred by the State in its partial construction, and thus secure a return for money otherwise literally thrown away, but that it would tend to develope our mineral resources, by affording.cheap and easy facilities for our coals into' Wes tern and Central New York—and also increase the commerce of Philadelphia, by opening a nearer and , better communication with a large portion of our own people, who are now obliged to seek Neu, York City as their only accessible market. This any one will perceive by a glance at the mall. We recur to day to a subject closely connected with the foregoing. By the subjoined extract from a late Boston paper, it will be seen, that a Railroad is to be completed by next autumn, that may . divert the travel, or a rarge portion of it, from that great thorough-fare from the North West, the Buffalo and Albany roads at Geneva, over Seneca Lake and the Cheinung road to Elmira, and by the New York and Erie (which will be finished to that_point next fall) to the City of New York, by a shorter and highly interesting route through a portion of Pent.- sylvania, and along the Southern portion of New York—over sue continuous, well-built, wide-guage road, instead of the three roads intersecting between enetiA and Albany! This will be especially a favorite route in the winter, when the North River is closed by ice, (for Seneca Lake never freezes,) giving it a decided natural advantage. But our present purpose is to direct attention to the oppor tunity afforded Pennsylvania to turn a large portion of the trade and travel from the North West to Philadelphia—and all that is destined for the South over the rail-roads, finished and prospective, through our own borders. When the Chemung road is finished, together with the Williamsport, on which a large sum has been already expended, there will only remain a short gap, less than fifty miles, to connect Buffalo with Harrisburg, and thence to Philadelphia, by a shorter route than to New York city—or by sup plying a link to connect the Williamsport with the Reading Road and its "dependencies, - a still shorter route is secured to Philadelphia. Such a line would be sure to attract the. entire summer travel between the South and North. Nis iters to Niagara Falls and the Lakes, which are becoming with each returning season places of more wide-spread attraction, would soon discover this not only the more direct route, but the cheapest and most agreeable. The cheapest, because of the avoidance of the Atlantic cities—the most agreea ble, because of the wild and romantic scenery which starts to view on every side in the interior of New York and Pennsylvania. Were there no econo my of time or distance, these are considerations of the deepest intrinsic importance. The southern traveller returning from his summer excursion at the North, leaves Buffalo or any point of Western New York down as far as Syra&ise, or still further East on the route here advocated, via Harrisburg, and thence via Lancaster and York to the city of Washington, a much nearer, pleasanter, and cheaper route than any now in existence. He could, indeed, reach Washington, with not less expense and no greater extent of travel, than would carry him to the city of New York on his way thither ! How important, therefore, to drive a nail in a sure place, and secure to Pennsylvania the advantages, so clearly within her grasp,-by the completion of this route! The following is the extract from the Boston journal referred to: CHEMIIND RAILEOAD, N. Y.—Some days ago we gave an extract from the New York Express. stating that Messrs. Carmichael, Gonder & Co. had contracted to build and deliver ready for running on the Ist of October next, the Chemung Railroad, connecting, by means of this road and Seneca Lake, the New York and Erie Railroad, at Elmira, with the Albany and Buffalo roads at Geneva. , • This road . will form an important link; in the routes from west to east. It must be largely tri butary to the New York and Erie, and productive to the stockholders Already, we understand, has the road been leased for ten years to the New York and Erie road, for 8 per cent. on its cost of $lOO,- 000, (for this sum the contractors agree to build the road, depots, furnishing the rails and all materials and workmanship to complete it,) with an offer of 10 per cent on ten years more. It is a peculiarity ot the Seneca Lake, that it never freezes in the severest winters, has great depth, and is a beautiful sheet of water, with fine scenery and highly improved shores. First class boats, such as are now plying on the Sound, are building, and are to be ready when this road and the Erie are finished to Elmira next autumn.

The Chemung Road is about 20 miles, and the Lake 40 miles in length. Elmira is about GO miles west of Binghampton, or say 225 miles west of New York. Glorious New Hampshire!

From the Wslblugtos trniosi, Mirth It affonls us much pleasure to publish the follow. ing correspondence between a Ortion of the citizens of Washington and Mr. Buchanan, tendering that distingiiished statesman a public dinner before his - departure from ibis city. It is a compliment -.which he richly merits for his eminent services, ;talents, and virtues; and we are sorry Mat*. that he goes from among us so soon that he is unable to comp'.y with - the desire of his friends and meet them at the festive board. WAsuiriwroN, February 2, 1R49 Sta : The undersigned, your political friends, citizens of this city, take the liberty to address you, for the purpose of tendering to you an invitation to a dinner, to be given on as early a day as your con venience may suggest. We design this not as an unmeaning compliment. Our object is, previous to your retirement from the prominent station which during the last four years you have tilled with much honor to yourself and to our beloved country, to manifest in this manner our high esteem for your great personal worth and commanding talents, as well as our gratetul sense of the distingusbed ability with which you have, during your whole public life, sustained the great principles of the democratic party—principles which we believe to be essential to the permanence of our free institutions, as well as to the happiness and prosperity of our country. As citizens of the metropolis of the Union we take pleasure in the remembrance of your liberal and enlightened course in the Senate of the United States, whenever measures touching its interests have been the object of legislation in that body; and we feel assured that your retirement from public life will not diminish the interest you have hitherto so kindly manifested in the welfare of a city foun ded .by the Father of his Country. With great respect, we are, &c., &c. George Parker, J. D. Hoover, J. W. Maury, G. W. Phillips, Jesse E. Dow, B. B. Edmonston, John. Boyle, Isaac Clarke, H. S. Davis, R. W. Carter, J. W. Sheahan, I.

JAMES BUCHANAN, Secretary or State. WASIIINGTON, March 12, 1849 ENTLEhIEN : 1 have received your very kind in vitation to a public dinner proposed to be given to me by my political friends in this city, on the occa sion of my retirement front the Department of State. The high estimate placed by you upon my public and private character, with which you have been long and intimately acquainted, will be ever re membered with sentiments of prokund gratitude. The value of this testimonial is enhanced by the fact that it proceeds from democrats in a private station, whose worth and intelligence are known to the whole community. Whilst you do more than justice to the ability, I feel proudly conscious that you have not overrated the fidelity with which I have discharged my duties to the country, in Congress, and in the State De partment. A democrat from deep conviction, the best years of my life have been devoted to the de fence and promotion of the great principles of the democratic party. Their aseemiency in the legis lative and executive bran4hes o the government has secured to us liberty, older, and unexampled prosperity at home, and hai-ilevated us to a high and enviable rank among the most powerful nations of the earth. Any serious departure from the line of public policy which has been pursued by succes sive democratic administrations will, I firmly be lieve, result in disastrous consequences to the peo ple, andsekcite dangerous jealousies and divisions among the States of the Union ; whilst, should this policy continue to be our guide, we shall soon sur pass every other nation in wealth, power,. and prosperity. The day will not then be distant, when to be an American citizen will constitute as proud a title, and command as much respect throughout the world, as ever did the name of a Roman citizen Whilst these are my deliberate sentiments, they are not entertained in a proscrip tive or unfriendly spirit towards our political oppo nents, and especially those of this city. Far, very far from it. Having been intimately acquainted with the citizens of Washington, ofall political parties, for a quarter of a century, I can truly say that, in my opinion, a more intelligent, moral, hospitable, and patriotic society 'does not exist in any country. I shall part from them with deep regret; and next to the State which gave me birth, there is no place in Christendom where I should more willingly pass the remainder of my days. You refer kindly to the course which I have pur sued in the Serrate, when measures touching the .interests of the city of Washington have been the subjects of legislation. Whenever I could support such measures without violating my obligations to my own constituents, this has been done with hearty good will. It is the duty, and ought to be the plea sure, of Congress, by all constitutional and proper means, to build up the permanent capital of this great nation, which has been honored by the name of the Father of his Country. Entertaining such sentiments, it would afford me cordial pleasure to accept your invitation, and mingle with you around the festive board ; and I have, therefore, to regret that the time which I must devote to the necessary arrangements incident to my speedy removal from Washington renders this impracticable. Your friend and fellow-citizen, 1 JAMES BUCHANAN. George Parker, B. 13. French, John W. Maury J. D. Hoover, Jesse E. Dow, G. W. Phillips, Johi Boyle, B. B. Edmonston, esqs., and others. Mr. Blanchard History records that half a dozen or more cities contended for the honor of the birth-place of ,the poet HONER-but ithas been reserved for the pres ent age to dispute the credit of a man's exit from the lower world. Some of our Exchanges state that Mr. BLANCHARD died at Harrisburg—others that he breathed his last in Lancaster city—and others, at Coldmbia. To set this matter right, we deem it proper to state, that this melancholy event took place at the hotel of JOHN litna in the borough of Columbia, on Friday, lGth instant, where Mr. Blanchard arrived, in ill health, on his way to his residence at Bellefonte. His remains reached home on the Sunday following, and were interred the next day, with numerous demonstrations of nor. rowful respect. The members of the Bar, JAMES ByRNSIDE presiding, pay the following high tri bute to his memory and character: Resolved—That we have heard with deep regret, the death of the Hon. JOHN' BLiNCHLIII), late mem ber of Congress and Senior Member of the Bar of this district . Having long been associated with the deceased; we feel it a privilege to bear our testimony, to the many excellencies of his character, in all the duties of life, but especially as a .Member of the Bar. For more than thirty years, he has been a practising Attorney in this District—able, upright, and indefatigable, he acquired a reputation as one of the first lawyers of his time. His life was ,without a blemish either in his professional or pri vate relations. His integrity as a man and lawyer was beyond suspicion. He was indeed 'that noblest work of God, an honest man, - -kind and courteous to his juniors, he was deservedly esteemed by them and looked upon as an example worthy of their imitation. His sincere, upright and manly charac ter won for him the respect of all who had the good fortune to know him—to know him was to respect and admire him—we, who knew 'him well, can safely say, that there are few men of our acquain tance, Whose place it would be more difficult to fill or whose loss is more universally regretted. Compliment to Mr. Meredith. The members of the Bar of Philadelphia have tendered a complimentary dinner to Mr. Meredith; but the Secretary declines the honor in a very neat letter. The letter of invitation was headed by G. M. Dallas. Appointments to Office. WASIIINGTONi March 15, 1845 Mr. WILLIAM CARET JONES has been nominated Secretary to the Commissioner for the adjustment of the Mexican claims. Mr. Jones is the son-in law of Mr. Benton, and the speculations on his ap pointment are numerous. Mr. McGem:um of Indiana, has been nominated Governor of Minesota. A very bad nomination, and one which can scarcely be confirmed. Mr. McGaughey was one of the twenty-eight members of the House of Representatives, who voted to withhold supplies from the army when engaged in the war with Mexico. He is a man universally unpopular, in his own State and out of it. The Senate will, in all probability, adjourn on Monday next. The decision of the case of General Shields, had to-day, leaves nothing to be transacted but some trilling executive business.—N. Y Herald. FEMALE FURY.-A female slave of Dr. J. James, in Wentworth, (N. C.,) having lately committed some trifling misdemeanor, her master threatened to Sell her. Prompted by revenge, she took her mas ter's only daughter and a little slave boy into tht woods and murdered them. She escaped, but was taken and imprisoned. Calla, l'Aiti—Giga="lllrOre—ReP"tik The New York Zibune publishes extracts from two letters from Cidilornia,'' rn Commercial correspondents of a home in New York, the writers of which seem wonderfully infected by the wonder,. ful stories circulated in that region Of the couritrY. One letterolated Sart - Francisco, Dec. Ist, says: The anaixtnts of gold - obtained aretruly astonish ing,,Aud ther`quantitlit.„-eyou day brought to this place equally so. "Every — of food and neces;,. sity is of course very high at the mines. Flour has been sold at $2 50 the lb ; four quarts of wheat for a horse have broughtsB; boots, $75 per pair; por,k, $250 per bbl. • The wages of carpenters are $lO per day, common laborers earn $8 a day or $1 an hour; a cook, $OO to $lOO per month.— Brandy fetches 4 oz. gold for a bottle; bread is $2 per lb.; blankets, $BO per pair; washing is worth $8 a dozen; clerks, $3OOO per annum and found. A room at a hotel rents for $•200 per month. The commonest hovel or shanty you can imagine brings $3O to $OO per month. The gold is inexhaustible, and for years to come immense quantities must continue to be got out, and a great trade must be carried on between this and all parts of the world The cargo I brought from cost $9OOO. The gross amount of sales from it has been $31,000 My partner came with two cargoes, and we have cleared over $lOO,OOO. Another letter, dated San Francisco, December 211, says: Mr. -, formerly Consul at -, informs me that two of his servants left him when the news first came. They have just returned with $75,000. Capt. , of the Navy, who returned last even ing from the mines, informs me of one locality which has been found, where gold is so abundant that there is no necessity for washing the earth:: $7OO per day is the amount obtained by each man. Sheath knives are used to dig the gold, and have sold "at the mines for $5O. I have conversed with many old friends of mine who have. been at the mines, and gathered large 'quantities; they all say that they only want two months more the next sum mer, and they shall have enough. Although this country and town are filled with, gold, no vegeta bles can be had. We eat but little else than beef and bread; all agricultural operations have ceased entirely. homeward Tour of ➢lr. Polk. The homeward tour of the late President of the United States, is more like the progress of some triumphant soldier, than the modest journey of a statesman, who, having discharged his duty to, his. country, is returning quietly, and in the true spirit of our institutions, to the shades of private life. Cities vie to do him honor. All parties are united in paying him the tribute of respect. At Charles ton, on the 9th, he was met by the citizens and military, and welcomed to the State by Governor SEA.BROOK A splendid entertainment closed the ceremonies of the day. The Mercury says: In the evening, a large number of ladies and gentlemen paid their respects to:Mrs. and Mr. Polk at their lodgings, where they had an opportunity of witnessing and appreciating that winning, graceful, and unaffected dignity of manner, which has made her who but recently presided over the hosptalities of the White House so widely and so deservedly esteemed and admired. The entire occurrences of the day, owing to the admirable arrangements of the Committee, passed off most agreeably, and without hindrance or acci 'dent. The only matter for regret, and this was most generally expressed, was the briefness of the interval which our distinguished guests could con sent to remain among us. Scene at the White House. The Washingtion Correspondence of the New York Herald, writes this acconnt of au episode in the administration of Old Zack: No sooner had the Senate met on Tuesday, the '6th March, than he sent up Colonel Bliss with the catalogue of the cabinet. The Senate, after they , had been an hour or more in session, appointed Mr. Miller and Atchi son to wait on the President, to inform him that the -Senate were ready to hear from him. The committe of two went up to the White House, where the following scene occurred : Mr. lchison.—Mr. President, the Senate have appointed Mr. Miller and myself a committee to wait upon you, to inform you that the Senate are now in session, and ready to receive any commu nication which you may have to make. Now it may be that the old General supposed that the Senate had got tired of waiting for the ex pected message, and that the committee - had been sent up to jog the memory of his Excellency ; hence, we suppose, his reply to the formal announcement of the committee. Old Zack.—Good gracious! You don't tell me. Waiting all this time. Why, gentldmen, I sent up Colonel Bliss two hours ago to the Senate. The committee were stumped. Mr. Atchison was in favor of reporting the fact; but they filially agreed to go-back and make no report: WEBSTER REPLYING TO HAYNF..-Mr. HEAar, the popular artist; is at present engaged upon a great picture for the citizens of Boston, commem orative of the famous encounter between the champ ions of the North and South in the Senate of the United States, some years ago. A correspondent of the Boston Traveller, speaking of the design of the artist, says— it represents Mr. Webster addressing the Senate in his memorable reply to Hayne. Mr. Webster is placed near the centre of the canvass, and looks himself to prefection, the portrait being a most faithful and characteristic one. A large number of distinguished men fill up the picture, such as Mr. Hayne, Mr. Benton, Mr. Woodbury, Mr. Gales, who reported the speech, Messrs. Cass, Berrien, Polk and others. WE , do not doubt this painting will be the greatest and best upon which Healy has ever em ployed his pencil. (From the Harrisburg Democratic Union.) Individual Liability. The bills extending clarters to the Bucks county Bank and the Bank of the Northern Liberties of Philadelphia, have passed the House within the last few days, containing the individual liability principle. The officers of the-Bucks county Bank do not object to this salutary provision, which was incorporated in their temporary charter last winter, and we trust, when these bills come back from the Senate, that we may not see the same scenes en acted in the House that were witnessed in the case of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank. One such scene of humiliation is enough for a session. The President and Appointments. We find the following official announcement in the National Intelligencer of Saturday : " We understand that it has been found necessary by the President of the United States to require that all applications for office shall be made to the chiefs of the several departments, by whom they will be submitted at the proper time. No direct application can be entertained by the President for any office whatever." The Washington Union of Sunday morning says " Various rumors are afloat about the.sentiments .which the President and some of the Cabinet have expressed in regard to removals and appointments. The givings-out of yesterday were rather more liberal to the office•holders." Cadets. Among the Cadet Appointmedts for 1849 made prior to March 4th, are the following for Pennsyl vania : Lewis H. Pelouze, 3d Congressional District. Augustus H. Plummer, 7th do do David P. Hancock, 11th do do Nelson B. Swizer, I{3th . do do Milo R. Adams, 20th - do do Francis John Shunk, of Pennsylvania, at large. POTTER COUNTY.—The Democracy of Potter assembled in county meeting, on the lath ult., and appointed Hon. CHARLES LIMAN a delegate to the 4th of July Convention. with instructions to support Jous A. GAMBLE, Esq., of Lycoming, for Canal Commissioner. IMPORTANCE OF ONE VOCE.-At an election for Judge of the Polls, in the Mt. Carbon district, Schuylkill county, Pa., Mr. Joseph George received one vote, and there being:no otherall day, he was declared duly elected. ENORMOUS Sixany.—The New York Express Bays that the salary of the Health Officer-of that city amounts to over thirty thousand dollars per annum—the richest, the fattest office now in the United State& ' thrlntelligencer 4.-Journal Meteorological Register for Fobruin. This winter hdalertittady diseppointed all the weather-prophets; for it has, contrary to expects= tion, beeniited for the steady continuance of the cold. Before stating thansual theta for the month, it may not be uninteresting to remark, that during the wbele of the thermometer was at no time, during:die night, above 32 deg., , whilst in Decem brr it was not once. below it.' December was as noted for its unusual mildness, as was the last month for its continued cold. These two seem this year to have amicably changed places. The thermometer was lowest during the night of the 16th, when it stood at 7 deg., but 4 deg. warmer-than the extreme cold of January. The highest observation was 4S deg., at noon on the 6th, showing therefore a range for the month of 41 deg. The mean of the 12 o'clock obsaystions was equal to 36 deg., whilst that of December was 50 deg.! Mean of the nights 231 deg., but half a degree higher than the corresponding mean for January. Snow fell on eight days and rain on three, the quantity of which was equal to 1 7-10 inches. Lowest barometrical observation 29..44 inches, highest 30. 35, range 91. It may be asserted.with out material error, that the barometer did not stand lower than 291 inches during the month: There were no storms of any violence; prevail ing winds N. \V., S. E., N. E. X. (Communicated.) Ma. F.orrourt—Prejudice has perhaps been the greatest hindrance to the advancement of humanity. Even in small matters it has stood, and ilk many cases still stands in the way of our own good. Take for instance our long cherished opinions that cer tain portions of a city are cheap and others dear for the purchase of the necessaries and comforts oflife. Whakis the consequence of such opinions? Why that those parts which we persist in calling cheap, having a fast hold on our prejudices, will only keep such styles of goods as they think fit for the coun try; and will, year after year, keep up_such old styles as they have tbund suited to our fornu;r tastes, and so . long as they have us thus in their power, will continue to do so, because it is somewhat of a risk to keep"all the new patterns the advancing age invents. And thus those of us who are most pre judiced are most behind in articles of taste, and even of real comfort, besides being overcharged by those in (hvor of whom we are prejudiced. I would ask of those Who think themselves free from this hurtful prejudice, to look to the matter and see ifthere are not other things and other places besides their old walks that it will be better fur them to see and examine. JUSTICE. Worthy of the Man. We have reason to believe that the following passage in a Washington: letter to the Charleston Illerfury is well founded. We understand that Gen. Cass has declared that; if uninstructed, he will op pose the Wilmot Proviso—and, if instructed to vote for it, will resign his seat. Such a noble purpose is worthy of the Statesman of enlarged American views, on whom the Democracy rallied at the late election : General Cass has already, I am informed, taken occasion to inform his friends and late supporters for the Presidency, that his views, as expressed in the Nicholson le,ter, remain unchanged. He freely and unreservedly declares his intention to oppose in the Senate, the application of the Wilmot Pro. viso to the Territories, and to act up in all respects to the doctrines expressed in the letter above men tioned."
