To the Democrats of Lancaster
County.
The election is close at hand. But two weeks
yet remain, when the great question, as to who
shall be our next Canal Commissioner, must be
decided. The office is one of vast importance to
the tax-payers of Pennsylvania—second only to
that of Governor, and, in some respects, of even
greater consequence and responsibility. The ques
tion to be decided at the ensuing election, is not so
much whether Jona A. GAMBLE or HvssT M.
FULLER shall be elected, as it is in reference to the
continued ascendancy or defeat of the Democratic
party—the triumph of Democratic principles, or
the triumph of the principles and policy of Fede
ralism—the usefulness and efficiency of the public
works in the hands of a Democratic Board, or their
prostitution to the basest and most dishonorable
party purposes by Federal tricksters and dema
gogues. Is proof needed of the policy that would be
Pursued by the Federalists, should they again get
control of the State improvements. we would refer
you to the history of the Ritner administration,
under whose auspices millions were squandered for
electioneering purposes, for unnecessary repairs, and
for the renowned Gettysburg Tape Worm, (com
monly act called,) which, as was well and forcibly
remarked at the time, began in the woods and
ended nowhere! These were a few of the extrav
agances of that famous, or , rather infamous Federal
administration, in which the entire control of the
public improvements was in the hands of that
party—the three years of whose rule did more to
shake the credit and embarrass the finances of
Pennsylvania than any administration that has ever
been in power.
The question, then, to be decided in two weeks
from to-day is, shall the reign of misrule and ex
travagance be restored in the person of HENRY
M. Funnsa, the Whig nominee for Canal Commis
sioner; or shall the present order of things, the
economy and energy on our public improvements,
be continued in the person of JOHN A. GAMBLE,
the Democratic nominee for the same office. It is
for you, fellow-Democrats of Lancaster county,
so far as your votes and influence may extend, to
say what shall be the result on the 2d Tuesday of
October—it is for you to determine, perhaps, the
political character of our beloved Commonwealth
for years to come. Will you hesitate, then, as to
your duty? Will you be lukewarm or indifferent
as to the result? Will you remain passive, and
permit Federalism to ride roughshod over your
necks and obtain an easy victory? We answer for
you, tro—NEVER. The stern. and - incorruptible
Democracy of.this ancient county, who have so
long and so nobly bore up against all the assaults
of the enemy, will not now turn their backs inglo-
XineelY upon the foe, and_comprorn*. their estab-,
lished .character for untiring energy and zeal by
supineneis, and, iudifference as to the result of the
impending election. We are sure,fellow-Democrats,
we have but spoken your own sentiments on the
subject—we are convinced thatyou fully appreciate
your high positiOn with the democracy of your
sister counties—and we are satisfied that you are
all willing to do your whole duty at the present
crisis. Then, rouse you (or the work that lies be
foie you Not a moment is to be lost—not an
hour can be spared. A thormigh organization is
needed in every town and township in the county,
and the sooner it is effected, the better it.will tell
at the ballot-boxes. Once more, then, we urge
upon you to ORGANIZE, and be ready to cast
your entire vote for Joan A. G 131111.1 and Democ
racy when the election day arrives.
Union and Concert of Action.
History records two memorable victories, each
of which is marked - by some peculiar incident—
the victories of Marathon and Austerlitz. It was
customary among the ancient Greeks, when there
were present in their armies several commanders,
for each one in succession to command for a day.
At Marathon' the different commanders offered to
yield their own particular day to Miltiades, expect.
ing a battle with the Persians on one of those days.
Miltiades declined the offer, and advised such ar
arrangements as might defer the engagement until
his, regular course, well knowing the danger of
departing from popular custom. In the battle of
Austerlitz, a Marshal, who had been ordered to
maintain a certain post, sent to the Emperor a note
to the following effect: "-If Field Marshal
does not receive immediate reinforcement, he fore
sees that he shall have to draw off his troops from
this post." The answer returned was: " The Em
peror foresees no such thing. Field Marshal
must maintain his post, or be cut to pieces." He
did maintain his post, and what was the conse
quence The battle was won, and victory crowned
the Imperial standards. We see in these instances
what rigid discipline and strict subordination will
accomplish, and how necessary it is, to ensure a
victory, that all, officers and soldiers, should move,
on harmoniously together, and be actuated by one
common impulse. The M a cedonian Phalanx and
.the Roman Legions, were always sure to conquer
the ettdisciplined mu ltitudes opposed to them.—
When men act t og ether in any cause, or for any
ISurpose, sYstem and concert of action are indispen
eably necessary to ensure success; and there can
be no co ncert of action, without discipline and
subordination.
What is true of military operations,,is equally
,of political campaigns. All private pattialities
and feelings must be lost sight of in our efforts to
defeat the enemy. System and concert of action
are as necessary to our success in the political bat
tle which is at hand, as they were to the ancient
Greeks at Marathon, or the armies of France at
Austerlitz. We have a ten-fold more dangerous
enemy to contend with, than had the Greeks at
Marathon—a great monied Aristocracy, which
proved the bane of all the ancient Republics, and
which proved too strong in the end for the demo
cratic Greeks themselves, when they had lost that
spirit of patriotism—that concert of action—which
marked their character in the days of Miltiades.
The historian informs us that what the Persian
arms could not do, their Gold effected! Yes, fellow
citizens, the gold of Persia was too potent for
republican Greece, and the liberties of her people
were destroyed by the avariciousness of their lead
ers. A similar danger broods over our own beloved
country. Human nature is the same now that it
ever was. The wealth of Persia destroyed the
liberties of Greece more than two thousand years
ago ; and tht wealth of the money-changers and
lordly manufacturers of this country are now, and
always hive been exerted to the enslavement of the
working masses—the great body of the people.
As a proof of this, look at their corrupt U. S.
Bank—their clamorous importunity for a high
Protective Tariff, which, to use the language of the
venerated JACKSON, has a tendency to make "the
rich richer and the poor poorer"—their infamous
Bankrupt Law by which hundred of millions of the
hard earnings of the industrial classes were filched
from their pockets, whilst their plunderers continued
to roll in luxury, and smiled at the desolation they
had brought about. These, and numerous other
proofs might be adduced, to show that the "Lords
of the Loom, - the wealthy manufacturers of this
country, have no feeling in common with the
masses of the people; but, on the contrary, are op
posed to the true interests of the country, and
would ride roughshod over the necks of the mil
lions whom they would fain bring in subjection to
their mandates. This is no overdrawn picture, and
it is all-important that the people should look well
to their true interests, before they are bound neck
and foot by a monied Aristocracy. An important
election is now pending in good, old Pennsylvania;
and it behooves the Democracy to rally in their
might, as one man—to cease all bickerings and
contentions, where they exist—and to make one
manly, energetic, united and powerful effort, to re
deem the State from the embrace of Federalisfa,
whose poisonous effluvia are deleterious to the health
of the body politic, and whose sole object is the
abasement and enslavement, to all intents and pur
poses, of the "toiling millions," the real producers,
who are the bone sinew of the Republic.
Panic Makers.
The Whigs are emphatically panic-makers.--
Every year, just before the General Election, they
get tipi a hue and cry that the country is fast going
to destruction, because the existing tariff of duties
is not high enough to enable the proprietors of
furnaces and coal mines to realize immense fortunes
in a year or two. But we never hear of them ex
ercising any sympathy for the Farmer, or proposing
a modification of the tariff, so as to increase the
price of his produce. The Farmer's crops may
fail, but not a word of condolence is uttered for his
losses. Under a succession of poor crops and low
prices, the Farmer may fail, become a bankrupt,
and his wife and children, by unrelenting creditors,
be turned out to starve; but what care the Whig
panic-makers for their misfortunes, which do not
effect the owners of coal mines and wealthy iron
masters! The truth is, it is utterly idle and absurd
for these Whig leaders to promise the Farmers an
increased price upon their produce, by any tariff
which they can originate—any promise of the
kind is only held out to delude. No tariff can be
established upon Whig principles of protection,
which would add one cent to the price of a bushel
of wheat or a barrel of corn ; and it is high time
that the agriculturalists, who are among the most
respectable and valuable citizens of the community
—the real producers of our national wealth—should
wake up to their true interests, and no longer sub
mit to be taxed out of their hard earnings for the
benefit of iron mongers, coal owners, or any other
special class of men, who seek to control the legis
lation of the country, with a view to promote their
special interests at the expense of nine-tenths of the
entire community.
The panic -makers just now are striving to break
down the tariff act of 1846, and establish one on
its ruins to suit their own purposes. They are
anxious to destroy a system which opened the ports
of Europe to our produce, and gave the Farmers
of this country a better market for their flour and
grain than ever they had before—and substitute in
its place one which must inevitably close those
ports against us, and reduce the Farmers' profits
far below what they have been since the passage
of the present tariff law.—Ohio Statesman.
It would be well for our Farmers to ponder upon
these things — , and when they go to the election,
deposite their votes for JOAN A. G.sraims, a farmer
himself, and the true friend of their interests, in
preference to Henry M Fuller, a young sprig of the
law, and the candidate of the Monopolists, whose
influence will be exerted adversely to the truein
tereets of the Commonwealth.
General,,4B eph,
The removal of t 145 gallant hero and patriot,
says the Boston Thrust, irom the place of Governor.
of the Territory of Oreon, shows how little segard '
is paid to the defenders' f:the country by. thepres•
eat administration, thogh nominallY'headed by a
gentleman who owes Ibis political. elevation to his
military exploits. Gel. Lass's offence consisted in
his having upheld the Honor of the Indiana Volun
teers against the enacts made thereon by General.
TAYLOR; and for thuii offending he has been re
moved fro& o ffi ce, thiaugh no man has preferred
against him the chargti of dishopesty, inefficiency,
or incompetency. Th!!.. government of the• Union
is made the instrument of settling the President's
private grudges, and the power of a great country
is prostituted to the end of oppressing an individual
whom the President l'ersonally hates. Had Gen.
Lass done less than Ife did, he would have proved
himself unworthy of t the esteem of the nation,
though he would noditubt have secured the friend
ship of the administration, which delights to heap
odium on the volunteer soldiery, whose exploits
had so much to do 41 making Gen. TAYLOR an
"available" tool for the Whigs. Indiana's soldiers
were held up by Gen.; Tarcon as being: no better
than cowards, on the) hardest fought field of the
Mexican war, a field# on which few Americans
were present except volunteers, many of whom
there received the "baptism of fire. - That a panic
occurred in one of tlie Indiana regiments is not
denied, and it is on record tl,at panics occurred in
the regiments of Naribleon's Imperial Guard, the
best disciplined and b!avest troops the world ever
saw. The Indianiansiwere rallied, and bore them
selves bravely. The ;attempt to fasten upon them
the stigma of cowardice for a. momentary disorder;
naturally excited strotlig feelings in a State whose
people are jealous of their honor; and Gen. Laws
who knew what the 'lndiana volunteers were, and
whose conduct at Buena Vista was praised by Gen.
Tavi.oft. himself, did tin more than his duty in de
fending his fellowsolrs. We are very sure that
if they had acted in an inexcusable manner, the
"Marion of the army as Gen. Lusa was called
by his compatriots imarms, would not have been
found among their defenders; and his course should
have commanded the !kespect of the President, who
is himself a good soldter, and ought therefore to be
able to sympathise with the feelings of another
soldier as brave as hiinself. Instead of acting in a
soldier like manner, Iti,wever, the President has re•
sorted to the pitiful course of removing Gen. Lava '
from an office he is m ost admirably quali fi ed to
fill. This is a case fq the peculiar attention of the
Senate, which
..body, .fwe doubt not, will show, at
the proper time, thatlit continues to be animated
by the same laudabll sentiment that caused it to
reject the appointmen,l of M'Gattonsr. The man
who is to succeed GA. LANE must be regarded as
one concerned in a mean attempt to injure a brave
and patriotic soldier, rind should be treated accord
in-gly. If Gen. LANs ifs to be succeeded by a 'Whig,
let him be an honorable man, who has had no part
in the smallest piece of business that even the pres
ent administration hals been engaged in. There is
no lack of such menlin the Whig party, and that
party cannot reasonably complain if Democratic
Senators compel then to bring forward their best
characters, to the pr :udice• only of -political con
spirators and hacks. .!
Theßuinous Eifects of Democratic
_ . . .
If we except some!of the iron masters who at,
bitterly complaining i) ecausethe new Revenue Law
does not impose sl;ecific duties on iron, a favor
they lost themselves In 1846 by going for the Tar
iff of 1842 and nothing else, the present aspect of
the business of the c'f)' untry is that of remarkable
prosperity. The autumn trade done in this city
has been a most extr4ordinary one. A Whig mer
chant of high standing informed us on Saturday,
that the house with which he is connected, had
never sold so matiy goods, at better prices, or to
better customers, dung any former fall season.—
Another highly intelligent merchant informs us that
if the cholera had n&t been lingering in the great
cities, the business would have been twice as large
as it has been. To - du one who passed along Mar
ket st., or any other 6f - our great thoroughfares, dur
ing the last month, the evidence of this must have
been strikingly appdrent. The character of the
trade has been morei than equal to the highest ex.
pectations of the seller. Money has come in plen
tifully, and long, credits have rarely been Vsked for.
While this is the state of things in Philadelphia,
New York boasts a trade far surpassing all her for
mer experience. It bas been said that the cause of
the immense businless in Philadelphia is to be
traced to the wevalent fears of the cholera in New
York; but the facts' show just the reverse. Both
of these great cities paving done a heavier business
than ever before, while the fears of the cholera in
each had not entir4ly vanished, it might be well
enough to enquire hisw they would have prospered
had not the epidemic visited our shores?
This is the spectacle—these are the truths—that
answer and refute alt the clamor about the evils of
free trade. They speak a language of facts, and
prove a condition bir the country of health and
prosperity, that never could exist in a time of finan
cial embarrassment. Classes may complain some
times, and they alwk.ys complain with bitterness;
but the masses are sappy, contented, and flourish.
ing. When the markets of the great cities are
thronged with businps men who come to purchase
goods, with money in their pockets, it proves that
the consumers—the farmer, the mechanic, and the
labcring man—are 'themselves reaping rich returns
from their investments, whether of money or of
toil. Panic hides its head before plain truth like
this; and fictitious pictures are laughed at by a
country that has enough for its own millions, and
plenty with which to feed the world besides.—
Pennsylvanian.

ltY We cheerfully give place to the following
communication, reci?mmending our esteemed fellow
citizen, ROBERT IVionEnwzi,c, Esq., as the Demo
cratic candidate foi Canal Commissioner in 1850.
Mr. M. is one of thd most active and intelligent bus
iness , men of the .Itate—a thorough-going Demo
crat—and well qualified to discharge the important
duties of the statiot). His nomination would give
great satisfaction td his numerous friends, not only
in Lancaster counts', but throughout the State:
For the Lencaster Intelligence,
Canal ;Commissioner.
Ma. EDlTOB:—ustom having long since sanc
tioned the practiceof bringing before the people,
(previous to convefitional, nominations,) the name
of any preferred candidate for public favor, I
trust I will not be considered premature in naming
ROBERT MODERWELL, Esq., of this city, as the
next Democratic Cnndidate for Canal Commissioner
to succeed Mr. Liingstreth. In nominating Mr.
Moderwell for thig important station I but echo
the wish of four Ohs of the democracy of Lancas
ter county, and I am confident that all who are
favorable to electink good, sound, practical business
men who understdnd the wants of the people of
Pennsylvania anddesire to carry their will into
effect, will join hefi.rtily with me in securing the
nomination of ono, who is known for the last
twenty years as one of the most correct and effi
cient business meain the Union, and a gentleman
every way qualified to discharge the duties of the
office with honor b himself and profit to the com
munity.
Mr. Moderwell is so well known in the commu
nity as a radical `democrat, possessing all the re
quisites incident to the discharge of the important
duties reposed in the representatives of the people.
that it requires kit little sagacity to foresee the
important result which will accrue to the Com
monwealth in case of his nomination and election.

FROM PHILADELPHIA.
PHILADSLPHTA, Sept. 22, 1849
Once more in the city, in the midst of all its
bustle and strife—its life and gayety. After a pleas
ant sojourn in the country, surrounded by dear re
lations and kind friends, and amid the bright scenes
of my youth and my home, to be thus transported
where all is stiff formality and _rigid coldness, is
more than a temperament even half as social as
mine (no egotism, Captain,) .can withstand. I
always did love the country, and especially the
country around old Laiwaster. Who can blame
me, for it is my home; and life's fondest wishes,
ambition's noblest aspirations, are all centered in
that good old spot. Who would exchange bright
skies and green fields, for bricks and mortar? Who ,
would flee from flowers to inhale the dull atmos
phere of crowded streets and infectious alleys? Not
I, at least. No, no, if fate ever does compel me to
be one of the great multitude of a great city, feel
ing and love will linger amid the beautiful remem
brances of my own country home. -
—There is very little of importance at present
transpiring, if I except the fall election. This, of
course, is the all absorbing topic, and the general
subject of conversation. All parties (and there
are a great many here) are marshalling their forces
preparatory to a great struggle; while the different
candidates are busy in their efforts to secure the
public favor. The Whigs, alias Natives, alias
Taylor Republicans, alias No-party party, and many
other "aliases" too numerous to mention, are in rather
a ridiculous quandary. But little confidence posses.
ses the minds of their leaders, while a general
feeling of wonder has infected the rank and file-
They wonder at the strange developements which
are daily being made in regard to the stupendous
frauds long festering in the municipal government
of the city; and if this 'wonder" does not prove a
fledgling of indignation which will eventually crush
the dominant faction in this city, then "coming
events" never "cast their shadows before." On the
Other hand, it is refreshing to witness the unanimity
which prevails in the Democratic party. But one
sentiment exists—and a noble determination to suc_
ceed, inspires the humblest individual in the ranks.
It cannot be otherwise, for the Democratic party is
the.party of progress, and the vindicator of truth
and justice. Its principles are the sublime offspring
of the fathers of the Revolution; and it has ever
proved itself, both in prosperity and adversity, the
'stay and the prop of the Confederacy. I have had
the best assurance, from persons who are conversant
with the public sentiment and feeling, that the
triumph of the Democracy in this city and county,
this fall, will be the most complete ever achieved.
Business, generally, begins to "look up," and
after having recovered completely from the cholera
panic, our merchants anticipate a vast amount of
transactions. Laying aside the prejudice and fear
of the interior and western merchants, there has
still been large sales effected this season; more,
taking all things into consideration, than at any
previous period. In money matters, and stock ex
changes, there is a prevalent feeling of distrust
manifested, all owing to the French bauble of "rup
ture." Could Secretary Clayton hear the complaints
of his "whig friends," in this city, (which are loud
and deep,) he would have given the "sober second
thought," and not have acted so impetuously. This
affair in regard to France, has had a most delete
rims effect upon the money market, totally paral
izing the operations of that part of the community.
The affair is still mystified and unexplained , and
censure is everywhere 'pronounced in relation to it.
The late foreign news has had but little effect upon
the markets; indeed, it has imparted an impetus
to some branches of our exporting trade.
Ton must have observed that the Ledger and L
A. Wrastsi of the Peannfiveotien, are both out in
phillipics against the Spirit of the ranee- •The
former was evoked by a systein of rather low
attacks pursued on the part of the rimer; while the
latter was demanded to silence comtemptible person
al allusions for one who sinks into insignificance

overbearing course in all matters relating to the
tastes and refinement of the city; and I am sure
that the flagellation adMinistered'by the Ledger
and Mr. Wrixsa, are heartily approved by every
person of refinement in this city.

CARLISLE CORRESPONDENCE.
Mn. SANDERSON :—Would that I could write you
something to interest your readers, but this dull
town will not afford me the raw material. True,
we have incidents in abundance, the foolish flut
terings of giddy girls, the tawdry gaudiness ofsilly
women, the frolics and fights of infatuated men,
all these and much more, but then the relation of
them would not abroad create a mental convulsion
or raise an intellectual storm. I must, therefore,
content myself and annoy you by being, in cant
language, a mere proser.
The sluggishness of our town was in some
degree broken day before yesterday by the arrival
of a circus company. Men, women and children'
from town and country made on the streets a mot
ley crowd. Now have I accidentally hit upon a
text. Let me preach: These travelling circus
companies, constitute a bane for which there is no
antidote, but a well regulated culture of the youth
ful mind, as well morally as politically. In morals
their whole tendency is to pervert the perceptions
of youth whose minds are just being formed, and
entice them to debauchery of more kinds than one
At a theatre,—particularly where tragedy is per
formed—there is something to rouse the mental
faculties; at a circus there is nothing else than
nonsense, vulgarity, and sensual words and gestures.
In a political view they ought, to be by every
lover of his country frowned upon, and by every
parent, despised. Say not that I speak harshly,
but hear me. One glance at any of the glaring
bills posted by these travelling mountebanks will
satisfy you that lam not far wrong. One is pic
tured off "as he appeared before Queen. Victoria,"
another has the "equipage of Louis Phillipe, Ex
King of France;' another has "performed before
all the crowned heads of Europe." Taking all
these representations for true, what boots it? Ought
it to commend them more to an intelligent .dmerican
audience that they have seen and performed before
all the sovereigns of all the world? I hate this
thing, and am sorry to see sensible people, claiming
to be *epublicans, giving countenance to fools, who
boast of their exhibitions before monarchs. Whig
gery may tolerate it, but Democracy ought not.

Our ritizens generally will ha‘ie already learned
that a difficulty has sprung up between the French
Minister and our Government, which resulted in
his passports being tendered to the former. For
the origin of the difficulty, we refer our readers to
the subjoined letter from the correspondent of the
North American. That, paper being the mouth
piece of Mr. Secretary CLAYTON, the letter in ques
tion has a sort of semi-official endorsement, from
the Editor, and no doubt speaks the sentiments of
the Government :
THE FRENCH MINISTER ' S CASE.-PARTICELARS.
---Since the above article was in type, we have re
ceived a second, longer and fuller dispatch fiom
Independent,' which follows. It narrates, briefly
but precisely, the particulars of the difficulty with
the French envoy and his government. It will be
seen, with surprise, that M. PoussM has been guilty
of sending, not one merely, but two different insult
ing letters to the Secretary of State—letters absurd
ly and gratuitously insulting: and, what is still
worse, that M. de Tocqueville has, still more ab
surdly and wantonly—or, rather, let us say, delib.
erately and of malice prepense—made his govern
ment a party to the outrage, by sustaining the en
voy, and assuming, on his own part, an offensive
attitude. There can be no doubt as to the propri
ety and necessity of the step taken by the Admin
istration. No government in the world could have
done less. The honor and dignity of the American
people required it.
The dispatch is as follows:
WASHINGTON, September 18, 1849.
As long ago as in February, M. Poussin, the
French Minister, presented to Mr. Buchanah, then
Secretary of State, a claim in behalf of a M. Porte,
a Frenchman, residing in Mexico. Porte had pur
chased Tobacco, said by the agents of the Ameri
can army, knowing it to be private property, and
not subject to the rules of war. The tobacco was
restored to its proper owner by Col. Childs, the
commanding officer, and the'purchase money re
funded to Porte. Under these circumstances, a
claim was set up by the French Minister for dam
ages, being the difference between the prices at
which Porte had 'purchased and sold. A court of
inquiry was held, and decided unanimously against
the claim, and the decision was approved by Gen.
Scott.
Mr. Buchanan went out of office without exam
ining the case ; and then it came before the present
Administration. The finding was re affirmed by
Mr Clayton, and in answer to a note of M. Poussin,
the Secretary of State sustained the verdict of the
Court and his own approval.
M. Poussin rejoined, charging Col. Childs virtu
ally with perjury, and using other insulting lan
guage. He was invited to Washington, being then
absent, and the alternative of withdrawing or
adopting his offensive note was offered. He with
drew it, expurgated the offensive terms, and then
renewed the communication, which was accepted.
Here, it was supposed, all difficulty would end.—
Subsequently, however, Poussin presented another
note, claiming the punishment of Commander Car
penter, under the following circumstances:
Commander Carpenter, while forming a part of
the blogading squadron on the coast of Mexico,
was called upon by the Captain of the French ship
Eugenia, to rescue her from shipwreck. He, with
his crew, succeeded, after much labor, and after
wards requested the legal salvage. This was re
fused—whereupon Corn. Carpenter restored the yes
sel to her captain ; she having laid alongside the
Iris fm thirty hours. Mr. Clifford, the Minister at
Mexicb, approved of Carpenter's conduct. • When
this subject was submitted to Mr. Clayton, it was
referred to Mr. Preston, who furnished Carpenter's
statement of the facts. M. Poussin, instead of re
ferring the correspondence to his Government,
wrote an, insulting letter, in which he reflected
grossly upon the character of the American
marine.
The President then directed the whole correspon
dence to be laid before the French Government, ex
pecting immediate and voluntary redress. Instead
of atonement, the French Minister of Foreign Af
fairs attempted to inculpate our Government, and
to divide the responsibility. As soon as this info' ,
mation was received, the President ordered no
further correspondence to be held with M. Pdusain,
and his passports placed at his disposal.
The future is shrouded in doubt- M. de Torque
villa, the Minister of Foreign Affairs must resign;
M. Poussin must be kicked aside, and the French
Government must apologize, or a rupture must en
sue. The administration here will not advance an
inch or retract a word ; and if France wishes war,
as there is good reason to suppose she does, the re
sponsibility is on her shoulders. This case admits
of no diplomatic cobbling. It is a question of honor
in which the United States cannot abandon its
high position. More particulars- in my letter by
mail. INDEPENDEITT.

mains were taken to Reading, and interred with

The Trouble with France.
TOWN - FACTS rAND FANCIES:-
c - 1* The following repor t was adopted at a meet
ing of Council! on Saturday evening week:
To the lionorON6 *a Select 'and Common Conn-
The undersigned Committee to whom was re
ferred the petition of Jacob Sformfeltz, Street Com
missioner, praying Councils to indemnify him
from the` consequences of a conviction for misde
meanor in office in refining . . to extend and open
Prince street, respectfully report:
- That on the 14th of February, A. D. 1848, an
Act of Assembly was passed, entitled "an Act to
lay out and extend South Prince street," wherein
certain Commissioners were appointed to lay out
said street from its present southern termination to
the public road near the Blacksmith Shop, upon
the meadow land of Mathias Graeff, in Lancaster
township, and if in the opinion of a majority of
them the said street should be extended, to filo a
draft thereof, in the Court of Quarter Sessioni,
when it shall be the duty of the Supervisor of the
City of Lancaster to proceed forthwith to open
the same. The third section of the same act-pro
vides for the payment out of the County Treasury,
of damages to the owners of land through which
the said street should be opened.
On the sth of April following, at the instance
' of the County Commissioners who proceeded to
Harrisburg for the purpose, another Act was pass
ed, providing that all costs and damages, (if any)
incident to the laying out and opening South
Prince street in the city of Lancaster be paid out
of the funds of said city.
Pursuant to the above acts of Assembly, the
Commissioners therein named, met and recom
mended that said street be opened and extended,
and filed a draft thereof in the Court of Quarter
Sessions of Lancaster county.
At the April term of said Court, a bill of indict
ment was, preferred against the Street Commis
loner of the city of Lancaster, for misdemeanor in
office in omitting to open said street ; and having
been tried and convicted at the August term, sen
tence was suspended until the 17th day of Sep
tember instant.
As your committee are informed the said Acts
of Assembly were passed without notice to our
municipal authorities, and without petitions asking
for the opening of said street, from any of our cit
izens.
The street as laid out by the commissioners is
about two-thirds of a mile in length, about one
tenth part of which is situated in Lancaster town
ship, without the bounds of the city.
Your committee would not hesitate to. recom
mend an appropriation for opening and grading
that portion of the street within the city limits,
were it not for an objection of the most serious
character. As is believed almost ever since the
incorporation of the city of Lancaster, damages to
the owners of property for the opening of streets,
have been paid out of the city Treasury, while at
the same time the citizens of the city, were com
pelled to pay the full quota of county tax for open
ing roads and building bridges in the county. The
injustice of this state of things must be condemned
by every one, and it is only matter of surprise that
the system should have been permitted to continue
for such a period of time. Either, the land dam
ages for the opening of roads in the city should be
paid out of the county Treasury, or the tax-payer
of the city should be relieved from contributing to
the opening of roads and building of bridges in the
county.
It is recommended that an application be made
to the next Legislature for the passage of a just
and equitable law upon the subject, The inhabi
tants of the City should not seek greater privileges
than those enjoyed by their fellow citizens of the
county, but they have a right to be placed upon the
s'aine level with them.
As the law for the opening of Prince street, in
its present state, required the City to pay the dam
ages to the owners of land through which the
street is to be opened, no appropriation should be
made by Councils for the purpose, until that ob
noxious feature is r pealed by the legislature.
Upon the trial of Mr. Stormfeltz, as your Com
mittee have been informed, several questions areso
deeply involving the interests of the city to which
it is proper for us to allude.
The Act of Assembly reqires the Supervisor of
the. City to open the street. Mr. Stormfeltz is not
the Supervisor of the City, but as Street Commis
sioner, under the ordinances and reoslutions of
Councils has always been considered the mere
agent of the Street Committee, and authorized to
act only under their control and discretion. If he
is not the person designated in the Act of Assam
bly, the conviction is wrong.
Another grave question arises under this-prose
cution—whether the legislature possesses a consti
tutional right, to appropriate money out of our City
Treasury, against our consent, for the opening of
a road or pert of a road without the bounds of the
City. To affirm such a principle would involve
the most serious consequences. If the tax payers
of Lancaster City can be compelled to pay out of
their Treasury the expenses of opening a road in
Lancaster township, they may also be required to
pay " the costs and damages" of opening roads
in any other township of the county or in any
I other county of the State. A question so deeply
affecting the rights of municipal corporations should
be decided by the highest legal tribunal of the
Commonwealth; and if affirmed our citizens should
adopt measures more effectually to guard their in
terests and protect them from any further legisla
tion of a similar character.
Your committee recommend the adoption of the
following Resolution :
Resolved, By the Select and Common Coun-
cils of the City of Lancaster, that the City Solici
tor be instructed to take the necessary steps to re
move the case of Commonwealth vs. Slormfeltz to
the Supreme Court for the final determination of
that tribunal.

number of this publication has been laid upon our
table—and is made up of important decisions by
the U. S. District Court, the Supreme Courts of
New Jersey and New York, and the District Court
of Allegheny county. All of which will, doubtless,
be interesting and usgful to the legal fraternity:
Honsz TRI' Annzszzn.—The horse stolen
from Mr. Roran, a few weeks ago at the Richland
Cross Roads, in this county, has been recovered
and the thief arrested by Officer Humus, of this
city. He was arrested in Cecil county, Maryland
—so we learn from the American Press.
FARMERS' B/ MK OP LARCASTER.—We learn from
the Union 4 Tribune, that this institution has es
tablished an Agency at Hollidaysburg, Pa., for the
transaction of a general' banking and exchange
business, and placed it under the charge of R. R.
BRYAN, Esq., a gentleman every way qualified to
manage the responsible trust.

Planing and Sash Manufactory of DAVID Cocxxsy.

caught fire near the roof of the back building; but

who are mechanics. Some men follow a trade
they never learned. They cannot feel the me

particular is beset with individuals who were for
merly merchants, peddlers, tinkers and traders—
who are now following a trade they never learned.

raise himself to these Vandals in business. The
extensive busindss done at the Lancaster-Hall of
Fashion, this season are particularly gratifying, be

a gentleman, but a mechenic,•who has risen to the
highest point of fame, always niaintaining his repu
