in*The election for State took place
yesterday, at Harrisburg. At the time our paper
was put to press, we had not learned the result—
but, of course, Gen. John M. Bickel, of Schuylkill
county, the Democratic caucus candidate was elect*

Canal Commissioners. —The' Board of Canal
Commissioners met at Harrisburg on Tuesday last,
all the members present. Mr. Longstreth was
chosen President, and Thomas L. Wilson, the old
clerk re-elected. No other appointments have yet
been made.
Education Convention.
This body met at Harrisburg on Wednesday
last, and adjourned on Friday morning. We
learn from the Keystone that it was one of the most
respectable and intelligent conventions ever assem
bled in that Borough. The Hon. Jas. M. Porter,
oi Easton, presided, and was assisted by a large
number of Vice Presidents and Secretaries. Sev
eral very able speeches were delivered, and highly
interesting discussions elicited on various proposi
tions. One of the principal 'subjects before the
convention, and which received its unanimous
sanction, was the creation of a School Department,
and separating the duties of the office of Superin
tendent from those of the Secretary of the Com
monwealth—a measure which ought to be carried
into effect by the Legislature without hesitation.
We shall give a synopsis of the proceedings of
of the convention in our next paper.
• Thomas C. McDowell, Esq. of Cambria coun
ty, has .been elected State Librarian, by the Libra
ry Committee of the Legislature.

lE7*A. J. Glossbrenner,' Esq., Editor of the
York Gazette , was elected, on Tuesday last, Ser
"geant-at-Arms of the House of Representatives at
Washington. Mr. G. will make a first rate officer,
and we are rejoiced at his good fortune—but we
hardly suppose that so small an office will satisfy
the Democracy of Pennsylvania for the loss of the
Clerkship, and especially for the defeat of the able
and accomplished Forney. Had she got both, it
would have been nothing more than she deserved
at the hands of her sister States.

War Between England and the- United
States.— Don’t be alarmed. War has begun be
tween the agents of the two governments, and an
actual collision-of arms has taken place, but no
damage has yet been done. The locality of this
terrible outbreak is Chili, some distance off. It
seems that the British charge d’Affairs insulted the
family of Col. Potter, the American Consul. The
latter demanded satisfaction, and John Bull's repre
sentative not responding to the amiable desire, the
American Consul thereupon took his cane or cow
hide, and *took satisfaction on the spot. The British
diplomatists generally find their match when the)
come in contact with Brother Jonathan. No sus
pension of commercial intercourse has yet taken
place, however.
“ The Union—lt must be Pre-
serred*’ 9
TJiese glorious words were spoken by the im
mrtal Jackson, at the time when nullification
iared its hideous head in South Carolina, and when
:rror and alarm for the stability of the Confederacy
ad seized ihe minds of many. And no wonder
nat the portentous aspect of-affairs at the time,
ad such an effect upon the minds of some. For,
f all the calamities that could befall the cause oi
eedora in,the world, there is none which can com
ire with the dissolution of the Union. The
lock of such a catastrophe would b'e feltthrough
ut Christendom, and the hopes of millions in the
Id and new world would be crushed to the earth,
vnd can it be that any one now is base enough to
iriously* entertain designs against the Union ?
ilas, we fear there are many in the North.and in
. ie South who are plotting its destruction—and
iat, so determined are they in prosecuting their
labolical purpose, that nothing can restrain them
ut the honest hearts and firm hands of the great
>ody of the people on both side of Masons and
fixon’s line. -That it has come to this pass must
-e evident to every reflecting mind ; and yet we
will not—we cannot despair of the Republic. A
ind Providence has watched over us from the
arliest period of our history as a nation—and our
iith is strong that He will still be our protector,
nd that He will, in due time, calm’ the raging
lements of strife, and turn to nought the counsel
>f those who would destroy the fairest fabric of
iuman government the world ever beheld.
The following remarks from the pen of the ven
dable Ritcbie are so eloquent and appropriate,
tnd breathe such a lofty spirit of patriotism and
ievotion to the Union, that we cannot refrain from
e-publishing them for the benefit of our readers:
“ The Union! Of what a glorious and majestic
•olitical fabric is not that word the symbol?—
i’he Union ! it is our great and magnificent country,
from ocean to ocean, and from the frigid
o the torrid zones, embracing within its confines
hirty sovereign and independent States, and domain
nough tor thirty more. Twenty-three millions ot
leople dwell upon its prolific and bountiful bosom,
•rawing thence abundant sustenance lor all, and
.mple elements for a commerce which embraces
ihe world in its wide circuit. Magnificent rivers,
sufh as the world never saw, course like veins
upon its surface, scattering the fertility along their
pathways, and bearing upon their bosoms the pro
ducts of industrious millions to the great entrepots
of trade. Splendid cities illustrate its outline; rail
roads and telegraphs intertwine its surface like net
work, binding the whole together in indissoluble
union. Seminaries of learning, planted on every
hill top and in every valley, shed light and intelli
gence around; and countless S churches, pointing
their spires to the temple of the living God, are the
sacred guaranties of morality and virtue. The sun
never before shone on a country possessing so many
of the elements of wealth, so many of the real
blessings of life, nor one which has made sued rapid
progress in the development of its grand system of
civilization, government, and empire. No country
possesses such liberal institutions. No people
rejoice in such unfettered liberty; none enjoy more
complete protection in person and property. Such
is the idea of union at home. Abroad, our country
is the beacon light of the nations who yearn for
liberty. It is the asylum of'the oppressed strug
gling to be free. It is the fear and dread of despots.
The eyes of all patriots are turned hitherward for
example, for encouragement, for sympathy, and for
aid. Strike this Union from existence, and who
can imagine the terrors of the- shock it would
inflict upon the moral world ? No tempest, no
earthquake, no calamity yet experienced by man,
could be so terrific and awful. No judgment of
Providence could could smite the heart of the world
with such sickening horror, suGh hopeless despair,
as the destruction of this great and glorious Union.
Must it not, then, be preserved! And what patriot
could contemplate its dissolution except with fear
and dread."
WBiat Do the Men of tlie South
Mean ?
Under this caption, the Baltimore Argus reads
the Southern Democrats who deserted Col. Forney
a lesson, which is the more to be prized, coming
from the quarter it does. Hear what the editor says.
The news of the defeat of Forney by means of
Southern Democratic votes, has been received by
the Democrats of Baltimore with unmingled aston
ishment. If a man so eminent in all the qualities
that constitute a Democrat fails, who can expect
to succeed; and the question is asked on all sides,
what do the men of the South mean? Are they
about verifying the old adage, that “ whom the
Gods intend to destroy they first make mad.” Do
they suppose that long winded harangues about the
principles of Democracy,. absolves them from all
obligation to reduce such'fine sentiments to prac.
tice ? Is the rest of the world to be used and thrown
aside just as it shall suit their convenience for the
moment; or have they progressed so far in folly
that they have ceased to be influenced by so com
mon a thing as common sense?
Are friends so plenty that they can dispense with
such as are but a half century old?—Since the days
of the Black Cockade, tbe true men of the North
have battled through all seasons, for Southern rights.
They have stood up side by side with the great
men of the South, and amidst uncounted perils, at
all times and upon all occasions have upheld their
country and her glorious institutions.—The brother
hood of mutual patriotism, (like gravity in the nat
ural world) has drawn them together as one man,
and as such, constituting the great Democratic par
ty, they have by adhering to party principles, so
ruled this vast country, that her onward course to
a glorious destiny, unparalleled in the history of the
world, is secured beyond the possibility of success
ful opposition. There is no shadow in the bright
futurity which opens before us, except the treach
ery of. professing Democrats—men who steal the
liver)' of heaven to serve tbe devil in. What do
the men of the South mean? We pause for a reply.
More Iron,
The exploration of each succeeding year, says
the Berks County Press, tends to show that we are
not yet prepared to estimate, with any degree of
! certainty, the mineral resources of Pennsylvania.
But a few weeks ago, and we noticed the discovery
l of some veins of copper ore in Cumberland county,
which gave very favorable indications of profit.—
I Now, a rich quality of iron ore has been discovered
in Schuylkill county, upon the vast verge of the
coal lands—the specimen of which, together with
the nature of the surrounding formations, give
promise of an abundance of tbe article. This dis
covery has excited the greater interest, in conse
quence of its proximity to the coal mines, the
comparative cheapness with which it may, there
fore, be manufactured, and the ready facilities for
| transporting it to an eastern market. It has been
j frequently asserted, that if the coal and iron of our
State lay together, we could outstrip all foreign
! competition. If this discovery should prove to be
I of sufficient magnitude, we should not be surprised
to find it working a complete revolution in otir
iron trade.

A NEW SONG, CALLED
THE SPEAKER’S OLD CHAIR
A PARODY ON THE “OLD ARM CHAIR.’’
“ I love it, I love it, and who shall dare
To chide me for loving the Speaker’s Old Chair ;
I have cherished it long,” and had little rest,
Until I resolved to do all for the best.
I have dreamed every night, for these many weeks
past,
Of that Chair, and the means to attain it at last ;
I have councilled with Whigs, from the East and
the West,
And at last I resolved, to do all for the best.
When the bargain was .made, but no matter where,
• ke placed, in the Speaker’s Old
Chair; r
My.mind was at ease, and at last got some rest,
By the sage resolution, to do oil for the best.
The Democrats may thunder, as much a B they please
Since my object’s attained, my poor mind is at ease-
They may swagger and rant, for I know theiJ
distressd,
Since they see how I fixed it, by doing all for
the best.
The Whigs, too, despise me, but what do I care,
Since I am promoted, to the Speaker’s Old Chair;
“A cool hundred” I’ll make, which will ease my
poor breast,
. And the world will agree, I>ve done all for the best.

The Way the South Makes
Enemies.
Whilst we have no disposition to denounce the
few Southern Democrats whose votes defeated onr
friend Forney, says the Baltimore Argos, candor
compels us to say, that, if the South was anxious to
make enemies in the North, it could not take a
more effectual step to do it than this. If such men
as Forney are struck down by the hands of South
ern Democrats, what man can expect support in
that quarter? As the Washington Union says, the
tendency of this act is to disorganize and dissolve
the great Democratic party of the country, by mak
ing Free Soilers of thousands who have heretofore
stood by the South. We have been as loud in our
denunciations of Free Soilers as a separate and dis
tinct political organization, as any man in the coun-,
‘try, nevertheless think it very unjust to
treat opposition to slavery extension as opposition
to the Democratic party, and to punish it as such.
The Union thus speaks of Cot. Forney, and the
probable effects of his defeat upon the South and
our party at large :
His course as an editor and politician has been
high-minded, conciliatory, and liberal towards all
the sections of this great confederacy. He has
manfully advocated the equality of the States under
the constitution, and has maintained the constitu
tional rights of the South with unwavering firmness
and ability. We assert —and we must speak our
impressions fearlessly—that such a man should not
have been struck down by the votes of Southern
Democrats. We believe it was unjust and ungen
erous towards him personally; and we fear that it
will produce unkind and hostile feelings in sections
where, the South most needs friends. The lvhole
Whig party of the North is inexorably opposed to
the South, andl to all compromise of the dark ques
tion which now so fearfully menaces the peace and
and integrity of the Union. And is it good policy,
under such circumstances, to provoke and embitter
the party in the North among whom the South can
alone look for friends? If we desired disunion, we
might approve of such a course, as best calculated
to bring about such a result. But we hesitate.not
to say, that we earnestly desire that the Union shill
be preserved, and therefore lament any act, from
whatever quarter it may come, designedly or not,
which tends to such a disastrous event. We la
ment any act, whatever may have been its source
and motives, that will tehd to disorganization and
dissolution ol the great Democratic party of the na
toin; for we solemnly believe that the preservation
of this great and glorious Union depends more upon
the preservation of the national Democratic party
than all other means combined. As an act tending
to break down its organization, we lament the de
feat of Mr. Forney and the election of a Whig by
southern Democratic votes.
But Mr. Venable places his justification, in part,
on the fact that a portion of the Northern Demo
crats deserted Mr. Forney. They did not, however ,
vote for and elect a Whig. —Even the Free Soilers,
who profess in every thing else to be Democrats,
would not vote for Mr. Foote, a Whig, who is as
much in favor of Free Soil and abolitionism as
themselves. But, whatever may have been the
conduct of a few Northern Democrats, we feel our
selves obliged to say, that, while Mr. Forney was
in the field, he was entitled to the support ot South
ern Democrats. Justice to our party and to Mr.
Forney obliges us to say so much.
Terrible Tragedy in New Jersey.
Murder of a Husband and Wife. —We learn
from the Patterson (N. J.) Guardian, extra, that
that community has been thrown into great excite
ment in consequence ot the murder, on Monday
week of two persons, residing three miles from Pat
terson. The victims are John S. Van Winkle and
his wife, an aged couple, and long residents of the
country. The atrocious deed Was accomplished,
as there appears no doubt, by one John Johnson, a
laboring farmer. The Guardian says:
The murderer, some two or three years since
worked lor his victim as a fanner, and who at the
time was employed by some of his neighbor in
the same capacity. It would seem that Johnson ef
fected an entrance into the the house through an
upper window by means of a ladder, and descending
to the bed room of his victims below, accomplish
ing his murderous purpose by first attacking the
wife, who slept in front, then the husband, and again
the wile.'
The second attack appears to have immediately
deprived the wife of life; the husband is still living,
but his death is momentarily expected by the at
tending physicians, such is the extent of his wounds.
The chief instrument used appeirs to have been a
knife, though the husband bears marks of a hatchet
Each received several stabs in different parts of the
body, including the abdomen, and the sight which
the bodies presented when discovered was a most
harrowingone,the bowels of the husband especially,
protruding and lying by his side. The floor and
bed were saturated with blood, as maybe supposed
from the nature and number of the wounds.
A boy only slept in the same dwelling. Aroused
by the noise in the room below, and ascertaining
on descending and sottly opening the door, the
butchery going on within, he silenty left the house
and alarmed the neighbors, but the bloody murderer
made his escape beJore they arrived. The fresh
snow, however, enabled his pursuers to track him,
who soon succeeded in finding and arresting him.
He had in-his possession some of the clothes of Mr.
V. W., and bore about him unmistakable marks of
gu;lt. He is now in our jail.
His object was doubtless money, (which how
ever, he seems not to have obtained,) as Mr. V. W.
is kpown to possess great wealth, probably amoun
ting to $lOO,OOO, though a plain and unostentatious
farmer. It is gratifying that tbe inhuman wretch
has been arrested, but the punishment which is sure
to await him cannot atone for the deed itself. It can
not restore the harmless wife to life, nor save the hus
band from a speedy death. It is proper to say, that
Johnson has borne a good character when sober,
but when drunk, he is little bettter than a madman,
as we are informed by those who have lone known
him.
ETA good joke was. perpetrated in the National
House of Representatives on Saturday week, while
the balloting for Sergeant-at-Arms was going on.
One of the Southern Democrats (Mr Colcock, of
S. C.,) who voted for Mr. Campbell, Whig, for
Clerk,'on the previous Friday, rose very solemnly
and said that he did so “ to end a protracted contest
and to save time and money.” When the vote was
being taken for Sergeant-at-Arms, Mr. McLanahan,
the accomplished Democratic representative from
Perry, Cumberland, and Franklin counties, in this
State, did not vote; but just as it was whispered
about that the Whig candidate, Mr. Giddings, had
104 votes, and wanted but one more to elect him,
and the Democratic candidate, Dr. Newton Lane,
had but 88, Mr. McLanahan rose with a great deal
of solemnity- of manner, and silence profound
reigned as he said: “For the purpose ol ending
this protracted contest and saving the public time
and money, I vote for Newton Lane!” A
roar of laughter greeted him from all parts of the
House.
Serious Accident.
Danville, January 8, 1850.
A serious accident happened in the rolling mill
yesterday morning. The large fly-wheel, weighing
from 25 to 30 tons, burst asunder and scattered
the roof and machinery at a fearful rate. Pieces
weighing 3, 4 and even 6 tons were hurled through
the roof, crushing every thing before them. One
man only was slightly injured—a very providential
escape indeed, considering the number ol hands at
work. The damage cannot be less than $10,000:
it may reach $30,000. It is believed to have been
done by some villain, who threw a piece of iron
between the cogs of the main wheels, when the
whole machinery was in full operation. A piece
of iron was found corresponding with a mark in
the broken cogs, which was known to have been
in a distant part of the mill on Saturday. •
True Bill against Prof. Webster.
Boston Jan. 18.
The Grand JuryPhas found a true bill against
Prof. Webster, charging him with the murder of
Dr. Parkman. Pliny Merrick, Esq, has been re
tained as the leading counsel for the accused. The
examination before the Grand Jury was not wholly
ex parte. Several witnesses were examined who
said that they saw Parkman after his disappearance.
The Crevasse in the Mississippi, about forty
miles above New Orleans, is becoming more an 1 *
more alarming. There are two breaches in the
levee; one about 70d and the other 3500 feet wide;
the latter wider than the river at that point. The
house of Madame Devallier has disappeared, as Wei)
as all the negro cabins on that and the adjoining
plantation*. Fifteen or twenty plantations are
wholly inundated. Nothing has been done toward?
stopping the crevasses, and the only hope is in the
falling, of the river.

CUT" We learn from the Pittsburg papers, that
Mr. Joseph Barker, the Mayor elect of that city,
was duly inaugurated on Friday week. Mr. Bar
ker, it will be remembered, was in jail at the time
of his election, undergoing a sentence of one year’s
imprisonment for the offence of street preaching.—
Our telegraphic despatch, a day or two since, an
nounced that he had been pardoned by the Gover
nor, but it seems that the pardon had not arrived
up to the hour of the inauguration. The Sheriff
therefore permitted Mr. Barker to leave the jail for

accordingly performed in the presence of the Coun
cils of Pittsburg—the oath of office being adminis
tered by the same Judge who had recently pro
nounced sentence of incarceration against the indi
vidual for an infringement of the same laws which
that individual was now called upon to administer
in his own person. His address delivered, he han
ded in a list of his appointments, and was conducted
back to jail by the Sheriff, to await the receipt of
the promised pardon.—Times.

the duties of his office.

the purpose at his dwelling in East King street, and
has secured the services, as assistant, of our young

Washington Correspondence*
The exciting topic tof the metropolitan day, is
yet the. organization of Congress. The seventh
week is on the wane, since, under the constitution
the National' Legislature convened, and, save the
bill allowing ex-Piesident Polk’s lady the frank
ing privilege, no actual business has yet been done.
There is an effort now making to elect a doorkeep
er, which has been kept up for three days, and will
be continued to-morrow—(Friday,) the result of
which I will add in a “ P. S.”

Since the defeat of Col. Jno,*W. Forney, of your
State, for Clerk, by the democratic votes ot the
South, it is very difficult to form any opinion ot
what may, or what may not now be done. Indeed,
the complexion -of things seem really to portend,
more than ever, a stronger attempt at sectional di
visions—divisions based upon grounds irrespective
of present party organization—and things have
been done, and influences are at work, tending to
this sad state of things, which it will require all
the firmness of the cool-headed and patriotic* men
both in and out of Congress to prevent. Heaven
grant a result so disastrous to the country may
not flow from any source, whatever individual feel
ings may be, —whatever concessions it may be ne
cessary for both South and North to make.
It is now ascertained to a demonstration, that
there are men at the South, as well as in the North,
who are fanatical, and, tor fanatical purposes, are
willing to take a fanatical course upon any ques
tion which involves the much mooted subject of
Slavery. This, the South has always disclaimed ;
but, in the case of Col. Forney, they stand convict
ed ; and a penchant for Southern men by Southern
men, I think is plainly discernible in almpst all
their transactions.
The election on Thursday of Mr. Glossbrenner,
of your State gives general satisfaction. He is a
gentleman, and will make an efficient officer. It
will be observed, that his majority was greater
than that of either the other elected officers—Spea
ker or Clerk—a fact speaking well fbr him, and
complimentary to Pennsylvania.
You may anticipate, as soon as the House of
Representatives shall become fully organized, exci
ting times, exciting topics, and exciting discussions
to arise. Every day the doors for these are being
opened wider and wider, and I imagine that there
will be but little calm.for some time to come, —at
least, until the now gathering storm shall have
fallen and spent itself; then, possibly, a different
aspect of things may ensue.

The recent news from California seems to have
reached here very auspiciously—being of itsqlf
very auspicious for the democracy of the country.
The election of officers, in California, under the
new Constitution, by the people of that far off
country, and they beyond doubt democrats, gives
here much hope among the friends of the Union,
that at least one branch of the tree of dissension be
tween the two great sections of the Republic may
be lopped off—that California will be admitted into
the Confederacy, and the people of that State be
allowed to the themselves to express and decide
what institutions shall, and those that shall not be
introduced among them. And this is as it should
be. For what right have the older States to either
impose restrictions as to what institutions may not
exist there—or demand that certain institutions
shall exist there, when the people of that State all
emigrated from different sections of the Union,
know best what most will be for the interest of
their newly adopted country—and in exercising
their right of judgment, upon this point, only do
what the people in every State of this Confederacy
have also done upon their. admission ? As well
might South Carolina demand that there should be
no State prison in California, because she has none,
and New York demand that there shall be one there
because she has three , and get at loggerheads about
it, as for either of those States to interfere in any
other of the domestic affairs of that State.
The State of “ Desseret," the Mormon State, is
also knocking at our door foradmission, —her con
stitution being adopted,—her Delegate to Congress
elected, and he here upon the spot, with his creden
tials. But little comparative opposition will, I
think, be made against her admission, unless it be
from other motives than those which will, or may
operate with regard to California. Thus,
“ Westward the star of empire takes her way.”
Another exciting and important measure which
will probably soon appear upon the Congressional
tapis, iB that of the Home Department. This im
mense engine of political corruption, has, it would
seem, aroused the indignation of all parties
throughout the length and breadth of the land; and
the unscrupulous head of it, Mr. Ewing, by engraft
ing the ignominy of his transactions upon it, has
transformed it from what it might have been, and
what, by a democratic President and Congress it
was intended to be, a great good, to one of the most
corrupt and party-serving machines ever invented
by man. This it will be attempted to abolish.—
And it should be done, and that, too, speedily; for,
however much benefit the people might derive
from it, when properly managed and kept within
its legitimate sphere* if it is to be thus perverted
for the balance of the whig reign, its annihilation
will prove more beneficial than all the good ever
derived from it as a department of government.
It is not anticipated that Mr. Meredith, Secretary
of the Treasury, will be able to essentially disturb
the Tariff of ’4O. Modifications of various kinds
will be suggested by the Committee of Ways and
Means; but so long as, under the present revenue
system, increase of commerce with foreign nations,
increase of prosperity among the entire people, in
crease of means for the support of government are
guaranteed, the democracy in Congress will never
disturb the principle upon which the present tariff
rests—nor will the people allow it. Is it not strange
that deficits are proclaimed by the head of the Treas
ury, and yet, he desires to return to a system of
revenue which does not yield so much money by
many millions per annum as that of the present
gives to the country? It is impossible, certainly,
to pay off the national debt sooner, by reducing the
amount of means accruing to our treasury. Mr
Merediths theory may be well enough, but the
practice will never answer for the honest and indus
trious people of the United States. Indeed, all
classes begin to understand the merits of the true
democratic system of revenue much better than
formerly—the principle of taxation according to
the value of the article or property taxed, seems
now to rest upon a firmer basis than ever; and it
is very much to be doubted if the doctrine of mo
nopolists, grown rich through protection, can any
longer obtain a foothold sufficiently secure to move
the strong foundation upon which public intelligence
on the subject of the tariff is fixed.
Washington city now presents a most dismal
and uncouth aspect. Snow and rain for the past
week or ten days cast a “ upon the lace of
every thing;—muddy streets—cloudy skies—foggy
atmosphere, and every thing else, out-doors, to
make one desire to seek the warm and cheerful
fireside.
The Hungarians who arrived here a day or two
ago,—Governor Ujhazy and companions,—fresh
from the unfortunate fields of Hungary, are exci
ting much interest. '“Governor U. is a venerable
and fine looking man, of above 50 years; with a
piercing eye, long, grizzly beard and moustache,
and wears the costume of the Magyars—the red
ostrich plume more particularly distinguishing
him. He speaks in the highest terms of American
hospitality, and seems to think that many thousands
of his brave compatriots will seek a safe and happy
asylum in the land of Washington. May they do
for no people, fighting for liberty as the Hunga
rians fought, but would enjoy to the utmost, the
benificent institutions of a country like those o!
ours. Yours, &c., A.
P. S.—After four ineffectual ballots for a door
keeper, the House adjourned, to meet and try

Washington, Jan. 17, 1850.
Tbe legislature.
We are still without anything interesting from
Harrisburg. The proceedings of the Legislature,
so far, have reference to local laws, and the refer
ence of petitions, remonstrances, & c . to the appro
priate committees. Quite a number of the mem
bers attended the sessions of the Education Conven
tion last week—having been delegated to do so by
their respective Counties. Amongst the> petitions
presented in the SENATE, we obserye one by Mr.
Konigmacher. to incorporate the Odd Fellows’
Hall in the Borough of Columbia ;—one relating to
the Manor Turnpike Company;—for opening a
road from Middletown to Mariettaand for? com
pensation for damages done in opening South Prince
street in the city of Lancaster. Mr. Konigmacher
also read a bill in place, relating to damages caused
by the extension of South Prince street; also a
supplement to the act incorporating the Manor
Turnpike Company.
The bill relating to the common schools of this
city has finally passed the Senate. The question
of the amendment to the Constitution, providing
for the election of Judges, See. was the subject ol
discussion during the past week, in the Senate.
In the HOUSE, Mr. Porter, from the Judiciary
Committee, reported a supplement to the act rela
ting to Orphans 1 Courts ; providing for the election
by the people of the Auditor General and Surveyor
General; providing for the election of State Libra
rian by the Legislature. A supplement to the bill
incorporating the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
fixing the daily pay to viewers of damages at §2,
was passed.
In the HOUSE, Mr. Cornyx read a bill in place,
erecting a new county, out of Lancaster, Dauphin
and Lebanon. •It was referred to the members
frofn the three counties.

ment of the time and kind of service performed by
the applicant, and the officer under whom he serv

known him to have been in the Revolutionary or
Indian war. The respectability of the witnesses
to be certified by two justices of the peace ol the

having a knowledge thereof, or by general reputa
tion.
