I WOU LD NOT LIVE ALWAYS.
BY 180 T. HEYEN.
I would not live always ! I ask me no dwelling
Where, conscious of frailty, the lone heart mourns;
Where Time, o’er the ruin of ages, is swelling
A night dirge, unbidden, ere day-break returns.
I would not live always! where mortals inherit
Earth’s haunting alliance of woe and despair,
Where weariness sadly invadeth my spirit,
And tempests are piercingthe dark mid-night air.
I would not live always ! Life’s scene of commotion,
Deceit and corruption its evil control,
Upbraiding the tear of devotion,
Requite notJthe yearnings allied to my soul.
I would not live always ! Devotedly I cherish
The wild roving thought, that would waft me
away, 5 5
From mocking delusions and day stars that perish,
Vain pleasures receding, and hopes that betray.
I would not live always ! My besom’s deep anguish
Would fain be delivered of sorrow and sin;
My heart for its haven of refuge doth languish,
More yielding in warfare, less patient within.
I woiild'not live always ! Strange visions do cluster,
And Time’s hallowed tokens are vanishing fast;
Where rises theday-bcarn of undoubted lustre,
My spirit would wander, from darkness released.
would not live always ! though joyance and p’ea-
May tenfold the beauties of being increase, [sure
The wrestle, too close, with my heavenly treasure,
And loosen the manifold promptings of peace.
I would not live always ! since left here in sadness,
Bereaved and forsaken,in silence to mourn;
Affection’s sweet memory, still yearning in gladness,
Would lainly to heaven its birth-right return.
Nay! I would not live always, where freed souls
inherit
Their star-light of promise, ’heath heaven unfurl’d;
An heirdom of rapture, an union of spirit,
A better, a brighter, and happier world.
Then hie, 0! ye shades, that encompas my dwel-
Of earthly alliance; ye vainly invite fling
My lays of devotion, while anthems are swelling
That waken to glory the sainted in light.

MR$. SARAH POLK.
BY MRS. C. W. DENNISON.
Mrs. Sarah Polk was born in Buckingham co.,
Virginia. ' When she was quite young, her father,
Major William Childress, a very respectable an'
wealthy gentleman, removed to Rutherford county,
Tennessee. She had the misfortune in early life,
to lose her mother ; and in the tender years of
childhood, was much away from home. She was
a pupil at the Moravian Institute, and remained
under the care of this quiet and remarkable people,
two years. Here, probably, were formed many of
those distingui>hing traits of character, which have
made her life, so far brilliant with examples of
loveliness, worthy to be imitated by all her sex.
Thrown, to some extent, upon her own resources,
with no mother's guiding hand or approving smile,
she early displayed an independence of mind, and a
strength of will, joined to remarkable perseverance,
which few. acquire until the ripeness of middle age.
Soon alter the completion of her education, she
returned from North Carolina, and took up her res
idence at Murlreesborough, Term; where, at the
age of nineteen, she was- married to Mr. Polk, he
having been recently elected to the Legislature of
that State.
Mr. Polk was in 1525 chosen a member of Con
gress, and out of the fourteen sessions he remained
in Washington, Mrs. Polk was with him thirteen.
Many who had then opportunities of knowing, and
often meeting with her, testify to her uniform
sweetness of disposition, her eminent piety, and the
purity - of her iile and conversation.
Mr. Polk being chairman of several important
committees, his house was much frequented by
persons of high social and political distinction ;
hence his lady early made the acquaintance of
many of the most illustrious characters of which
our country can boast.
In IS3B, when Mr. Polk was called to fill the
office of Governor of Tennessee, Mrs. Polk exerted
an excellent influence, even upon those members
of the Legislature who were among her opponents,
by her social qualifications, her amiability and her
attention and devotion to the interests of her hus
band ; and when, subsequently, he was elected to
be President of the United States, she removed to
Washington, remaining with him the four years of
his term, with'the exception of the summer of '47,
which she spent in Tennessee among her friends
and acquaintances;
In that exalted station, Mrs. Polk was a sweet
exemplification of lowliness. She was as retiring,
as'gentle, as though the public eye had never
scanned her conduct, and the public tongue never
sounded her praise.
The leading feature in her character is con
sistency.
-Everywhere, and at all times, she is the same
gentle, yet dignified woman and Christian. She
possesses equanimity of temper in a remarkable
degree ; and her penetrating mind can readily read
the motives that influence those with whom she
comes in contact.
I he angel of benevolence hides itself in her heart,
like the lily; that seeks the deep shelter of the valley,
to bless unseen. Many has she assisted of whom
the world knows not; for her charities fell as
noiselessly as the snow. The trumpet voice of
praise echoes them not, and the blessings of the
poor is her only reward.
Never was an applicant for the promotion of
useful knowledge, or of any truly charitable work,
sent from her doors unaided. To objects really
worthy of support her donations were always mu
nificent.
Mrs. Polk, though as far removed as possible
from what would be called a politician, has yet
taken pains to make herself well informed on pub
lic affairs. One~who knows her intimately says,
there are not twenty days in a year, that
not spend a certain time each day, in reading the
leading.public journals, not those filled with trashy,
“fashionable literature, but the solid productions
of sterner intellects—the strong argumentative,
philosophic matter, which none but strong and re
flective minds can comprehend, none other than
healthy brains digest. Though perfectly acquain
ted with politics, yet with a rare judgment, and a
comprehension of womanly delicacy, she seldom
makes them a subject for conversation, and never
takes sides in an objectionable manner.
Whatever was identified with the public career
of her his life, interested her. She
made herself, on this account, lamiliar with much
that would have burdened others. An anecdote is
here in point.
While Mr. Polk resided in Tennessee, a story
was put in circulation, calculated to injure his rep
utation as a public man. He was, at the time of
which we speak, several hundred miles away from
home. A gentleman well known, who was then
editor of a political paper, eager to vindicate his
fair fame, repaired to Mrs. Polk, and made known
the circumstances to her. She instantly led him
into her husband's private office, and selected differ
ent journals and manuscripts, referred immediately
to the page and paragraph containing her
husband s non-participation in the plot imputed to
him. These were soon published to the world.—
Mr, Polk was then hurrying home. Rumors ol
these accusations had reached him, and e was
anxious to confute them, before they were gener
ally received. As he was crossing one.of the rivers
of Tennessee, he accidentally met with a paper,
containing a complete refutation of the falsehood!
In extreme, but delighted surprise, he turned to a
friend, and remarked, “ Why ! this is indeed singu
lar—who could have done it? No one but Sarah
knew sc intimately my private affairs. 5 ’
Mrs. Polk possesses the faculty of making her
self popular with all classes of people. None see
her but to praise. The sweetness of her counten
ance, radiant with the impress of mind, and the
affectionate warmth of her reception, inspire the
beholder with the feeling that she is an uncommon
woman.
I remember my own impression, when, in com
pany with some friends, I visited the White House,
on the occasion of a public levee. An immense
crowd had assembled, for it was the first day of the
new year. The foreign courts were well represen
ted, in the imposing splendor of official costumes
and uniforms shining with'gold. Many ladies beau
tifully attired, stood near the wife of the President;
but among them all, I should have selected her, as
fitly representing, in person and manner, the digni
ty and grace of the American female character.—
Modest, yet commanding in appearance, I Jelt she
was worthy of all the admiration which has been
lavished upon her. She was affable, easy in her
deportment, and most becomingly dressed. The
thought involuntarily entered my mind, “You well
become the high station which Providence has
assigned you."
Much has been said about the discontinuance of
dancing in the White House during President Polk's
administration. A company of ladies conversing
with Mrs. Polk one day, alluded to the matter
rather plainly.
“ Why,” said she, in reply to a question indirect
ly put to her on the subject, “/ would not dance in
the President's house, would you?'’
This silenced them. They here, at once, struck
with the propriety-of an answer, so delicately inti
mating that the public ball room, or the private
drawing room, were much more suitable places for
such pleasures, than the residence of the chief mag
istrate of the nation.
Her religious views were extremely liberal.—
They commend themselves, in the loveliness oJ
their charity, even to those who do not coincide
with her. There is a perfectness in her character,
a freedom from austerity and bigotry, that speaks
louder than the most untiring efforts put forth by
many to reform the erring.
She was always regular irther attendance on the
ministrations of her pastor, while in Washington.
Those who were members with her, and by whom
she was recognized as a true Christian, testify to
the uniformity of her example, her affectionate in
terest in their welfare and her untiring solicitude
for the prosperity of the holy cause, in which'she
has for so many years been engaged.
Her taking leave of the church was mournful,
yet tenderly solemn.' The elements of the holy
communion were administered to her, amid the si
lent weeping of gathered friends, waiting to bid
her farewell. 'lt was an impressive sqene ; few
words were spoken, and those were uttered in the
tremulous tones of grief, but the many prayers for
her welfare, silently breathed by the sympathizing
communicants blended into one, as on the wings of
love and faith they were wafted before the Eternal.
I have but faintly limned her virtues; suffice it
to say that she is respected and loved by thousands
who have never seen her. Her name has always
been associated with good and holy things. As a
wife, a benefactress, a friend, she is a mod*! for
every woman to imitate, whether of exalted or
lowly estate. Her life has been unmarked by sor
row, until the bereavement which has so lately af
flicted her.
Existence cannot seem so joyous to her now,
since that dark hour. But she has ar. arm where
on to lean; an Almighty presence overshadows
her path, to guide her. till the dawn of a purer day
ushers her into the better land, where dwell her
richest treasures. • •
Remarks of Mr. Meek
On the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad bill —in
the House of Representatives, Jan. 31, ISSU.
Mr. Speaker: — l have watched the progress of
this bill, now before us, with mingled feelings of
grief and indignation: nor do I now rise to address
the House in opposition to its progress, with any
hope of arresting it. No sir, I have seen too much
legislation to hope for any such result. I have
learned, by painful experience, that there is no re
sisting a measure of this kind when backed by cor
poration power. But I must express my total dis
sent to its passage, and representing as I do a plain
unsophisticated democratic constituency, I dare not
suffer the passage of a bill so monstrous in its pro
visions, without speaking out my disapprobation in
the most unmistakeable language.
I cannot disguise the fact, that my own heart
beats more faintly—my high expectations of suc
cessful legislation now drag in the dust—all my
hopes quail, and I am wounded for the cause of my
best devotions—the triumph of sound democratic
principles. How is it sir, that we promise so much
at home, and yet do so little when here, that is re
ally democratic ? Are we not continually derid
ing our whig opponents with the meanest subser
viency to incorporation privilege—with the most
abject devotion to wealth and its usurped preroga
tives—with being the party who are always readv
to confer privilege to the lew, while we claim to
be the devotees of principles known only by this
motto, “equal and exact justice to all men—exclu
sive privileges to none V’
I should not have said a word on the subject, but
that I wish to bear testimony to the soundness of
our people at home and their honest adherence to
They send us here with right views, but
alas, we do not stay right; and our deceived and
betrayed constituents are still left to wonder why
it is so—why they elect the majority of members
to this House charged with the cause of their rights
and principles, and yet, whig principles always pre
vail.
It is with amazement, I see democrats in this
House, wiljing to father a responsibility near akin
to that assumed by those who inflicted upon the
abused people of the Commonwealth the defunct
Bank of the United States—a deep, damning, dark
deed, that involved millions of money, and brought
ruin upon thousands of innocent and confiding peo
ple.
The same arguments used now, were used to se
cure the passage of that obnoxious measure—the
case of poor widows, orphans, retired business men
in their old days—the cruelty of robbing them of
their only hope—their all—by cutting down the
Bank at a stroke! We were then told of its sound
ness and utility!—of its solvency—but the need of
time to settle up its business. In vain did the
friends of right measures, urge the dangerous mag
nitude of the mammoth corporation—its’unwieidy
debts, and corrupting influences—the inevitable ruin
it would sooner or later bring upon the State. All
was nothing (with men of like passions with us,)
when brought in contact with the means and ap
pliances of the Bank—and its friends;
But sir, the day of doom came—the day of which
we had been again and again premonished, and a
fearful crash it was! We heard wailings and ruin
through the whole length of the land. Then came
the Bankrupt Law and swept away 450 millions of
the debts due by those bank robbers, to a plundered
people! Where now is the man who dare avow
himself a friend of that foul deed of legislation, and
yet ask the people to support him for any office in
their gift? .
But look at this bill before us. Two years ago
this company l were here asking us to incorporate
eight or ten millions of debt as preferred stock.
We refused it that privilege. It now' comes, and
asks us to suspend for 20 whole years the operation
of our collection law’s, while it acknowledges over
-sixteen millions of liability! How comes all this
to pass? Two years since it was involved, we are
told, in a debt-of ten or eleveq millions. It has%-
creased to between sixteen and seventeen millions.
The officers of this company have grown rich, built
palaces, and ride as nabobs through the land; they
have paid no debts—no sir; they have increased
them vastly. Sir, did you ever know, or read ol
any people in their corporate capacity, paying a
debt ol this size? Never, sir; "but in the case ol
our own noble Union. Whether she will be able
to pay again, remains to be seen.
With this corporation, I hold it is impossible that
ever it should pay its debts. The road is one hun
dred miles long, and cost $16,325,032 ; each mile,
therefore, cost $103,250, and must, at least, yield
an annual income of $lO,OOO for interest, besides
the cost of repairs, management, &c. This it can
not do: no sane man will believe that it can possi
bly subsist any longer than it can borrow money.
Sir, dare any man in this Commonw’ealth, in his
private capacitj, come and ask us thus to rtep in
between him and his creditors? No sir, no- such
an application w’ould be scouted from this hall!—
Well do I remember the man with the red shirt,
who, with many other hard working men, had set
tled upon a tract ol what they thought to be vacant
land; after years of toil, sacrifice and patient endu
rance of privation; when they thought themselves
in possession of homes for their declining years, a
British subject sued upon them a writ of ejectment.
They preferred their cause to this body, and asked
us to interpose the shield of our protection. Were
they heard? no sir-., the Constitution was in oui
way. Poor fellows! we eould do nothing for them!
CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 19, 1850.
they were not a corporation. “Alas! poor Yorick!"
Sir, we hear, with the deepest emotion, of the
threatened rupture of our holy Union; with dismay
portrayed upon every face, the bare possibility of
such a catastrophe is spoken of—one lays his finger
pon his mou th, and dumb with amazement, e
he.hears the fearful and portentous word “DISU-
pronounced as the death knell of his coun
try s glory. His country* aye, the country of des
tiny; the glory of all lands; the beacon light of the
benighted, down-trodden, oppressed, and injured ol
all the nations; the country to which we invite
the hungry, homeless and persecuted of every clime
to come, find an asylum in the “land of the free and
the home of the brave.” And yet sir, we, by our
profligate legislation, are likely soon to make it but
an empty name, a shadow—a skeleton only will be
jeft to the people, if we continue thus to rob them,
for the benefit of soulless corporations.
Sir, we shall hear- of this bill again, when we
come to elect a governor or president. The whigs
will hurl it upon us as the party in the majority,
and having the power to prevent such legislation.
We profess to hold the best—the only good prin
ciples upon which to administer a republican gov
ernment, and urge men to sustain us by arguments
addressed co their hopes and fears, their rights and
liberties, and yet disappoint all and betray our party.
In the name sir, of the democratic party and its
principles—of my constituents of Centre county
and of the constitution which I have sworn to sus
tain, I protest against the passage of this bill.
Remarks df Rev. J. A. Devinney,
or Carlisle,
Made in the late Education Convention , upon the res
olution in regard to Normal Schools.
Mr. Deyinsey said: The precise number of
normal schools to be recommended to the legisla
ture, produced considerable discussion in commit
tee; and we felt all the embarrassment upon that
subject that our friend from Northampton [Mr.
McCartney] discovers. It had not escaped our no
tice, that the convention had shown itself diffident
in entertaining any proposition which foreshadow
large expenditures. And this conservative feature
gives the convention strong claims upon the public
regard. From the very first, it has encouraged no
tendencies to extravagance. Assembled from every
district of state, the members seem impressed with
the two leading thoughts—the apparent failure of
a good system of free schools to administer itself,-
and the importance of giving that system a longer
trial under better circumstances. Accordingly,,
utopian schemes have found no inviting reception
among us, indeed none have been presented We
have met as friends, our sessions have been harmo
nious, and our aim appears to be to the attainment
of such results as will favorably influence the in
terests we represent.
• Acting under these motives, we deemed it advi
sable to proceed with moderation, thence the res
olution advises the establishment of only tu-o state
normal schools. This measure being somewhat
new to Pennsylvania, it simply asks a fair, experi
ment. Let the experiment be conducted on a
reasonably extended scale, and if it proves a failure,
it will be easy to retract, and if it succeeds, our
successors can provide lor its enlargement. Grant
us these two institutions, ably conducted, and well
attended by candidates lor matured qualifications
in a noble art; and when those accomplished in
structors sl&ll have returned to their respective
neighborhoods, and satisfied the friends of education
that the institutions themselves are worthy of con
fidence, common school keeping will become a
profession, and normal schools will multiply to any
extent the public wants may require. Their es
tablishment will be as natural and necessary as the
establishment of the primary district schools. But
if we recommend their erection in every county in
tiie state, we may thwart the whole affair, ami by
attempting too much, accomplish really nothing.
It has been objected, that with only two normal
schools, located either at the centre or the extremi
ties of the state, it will be inconvenient and ex
pensive for the teachers to attend them. I admit
the truth of the objection, but the proposed substi
tute does not obviate the difficulty. Teachers
would find it both expensive and inconvenient to
come from the remote parts of each coun’y and
attend upon the schools located in each county
town; and even granting that the expense would
be less, it must not be forgotten the classes
would be too small to secure the services of cbm
petent teachers and instructors. But the strong
answer to the objection lies in the fact that school
keeping is to become a profession whose respecta
bility and emoluments will justify some outlay in
the acquisition of suitable qualifications. The
other learned prolessions labor under precisely the
same difficulty. After a class of young men have
spent five or six years at college far from their
homes, they occupy two or three more in reading
medicine, theology, or law, in some institution char
tered for the purpose—arid all without a murmur.
No one would employ, as a safe physician, or an
able counseller, the young bachelor of arts with his
honors fresh upon him ; apd is it right that of all
crafts and trades, school keeping alone may be
subject to no law but the caprice and temperament
of the teacher? Can any person, who knows a
little, teach a common school ? If this opinion
prevails, normal schools will gradually correct it.
They are not intended to teach directly all the
citizens. They begin with educated men and
women, and impart to them—not general know
ledge, for this must have been obtained previously
—but the very best plan of communicating to
others what they know themselves, and the wisest
method of disciplining a school. But I must not
consume time an explaining what is obvious already.
I hope the resolution will pass without amendment.
■. Circumstantial Evidence.
The Washington (Pa.) Examiner, a few weeks
since, gave an account of an affair, which occur
red some years ago in that vicinity, and which is
.another strong addition to the mass of objections
against the reception of circumstantial evidence in
capital cases.
Two gentlemen, named Cooper and Long, whose
families resided in the neighborhood of Washing
ton, had been absent for some time in Ohio, They
returned together in a -‘jumper," as far as Wheel
ing, ai*d there spent the night. They arose before
daylight in the morning, for the purpose of mak
ing an early’ start for home. While Long was
“hitching up' 5 the horse, Cooper made his disap
pearance. Long looked in vain for his absent
friend—no person had seen him. and he could not
be found! Supposing that Cooper had come across
some neighborhood friend in Market, and had gone
home with him, Long left Wheeling, alone. But
Cooper did not reach home ; and when Long rela
ted the circumstances to the Iriends of the tormer,
they very naturally supposed that he had been
murdered by some unknown person or persons at
Wheeling, who wished to obtain possession of his
money. Diligent search was immediately com
menced, but without success. The impression
then became general that Long was the murderer!
Some weeks alterwards, the body ot a dead
man was lound floating in the Ohio river, several
miles below Wheeling. It was taken ashore, a
coroner's inquest held, but not being identified was
buried. The friends of Cooper seeing an account
of The inquest, in the papers, hastened to the place
and had the body disinterred. After a careful ex
amination, they arrived at the unanimous conclu
sion that the body found was that of the long-lost
Coopep! The shape of the body, the mould of
the face, the color of the hair, and even the clothes
were all Coopers. And to complete the identifica
tion, there was a large scar on one of the legs of
the corps, which removed all doubts from the
minds of Coopers friends. They had the body ta
ken home, and regularly interred. The friends put
on the habiliments of mourning. Letters of ad
ministration were taken out, and the temporal af
fairs oi the murdered man were settled !
Long was pronounced a murderer by every one,
and no person of respectability would longer asso
ciate with him. A warrant was made out for his
arrest, a regular indictment lor wilful murder was
found by the grand jury of Washington county,
and Long was committed to prison to await his
trial for the most diabolical of all crimes! Owing,
however, to some informality in the receipt of the
requisition of the Governor ol Virginia, Long was
set at liberty. But still the eyes of the old and
young were upon him, and he was forsaken and
despised by all!
Months passed away, but the excitement in re
gard to the murder did not in the lea»t abate. At
« THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.” Buchanan.
length a letter was received from an unknown per_
son in Indiana, by the friends of Cooper, stating
that the man who was supposed to have been mur
dered, resided in that State. But supposing this to
be a trick on the part of Long, to operate in his
favor, no attention was paid to it. Shortly alter
wards a letter was received from the murdered man
himself! This, however, did not satisfy the friends
of Cooper that Long was innocent. They believed
it was a forgery; and this belief was not changed
until the murdered man stood before them—not a
spiritual apparition, like the ghost of the murdered
Dane—but a real, corporeal existence, the true,
bona fide, identical, long-lost Cooper!
Had it not been for the informality above alluded
to, no doubt Long would have suffered death upon
the scaffold!
Fat Meii.
The following is an extract from the lectures of
Rev. liEN*nT Giles, now going through the press
of Messrs. Ticknor, Reed & Fields, Boston :
There is something cordial in a fat man. Every
body likes him, and he likes every body. Your
Ishmaelites are, in truth, a bare-boned race: a lank
tribe are they—all skeleton and bile. Food does a
fat man good; it clings to him, it fructifies upon
him; he swells nobly out, and fills a generous
space in life. He is a living, walking specimen of
gratitude to the bounty of the earth, and the fulness
thereof; an incarnate testimony against the vanity
of care, a radiant manifestation of the wisdom of
good humor. A lat man, therefore, almost in vir
tue of being a fat man, is per sc a popular man ;
and commonly he deserves his popularity. In a
crowded vehicle the fattest man will ever be the
first to jnake room. Indeed, he seems half sorry
lor his size, lest it be in the way of others; but
others would not have him less than he is, for his
humanity is usually commensurate with his bulk.
A fat man has abundance of rich juices. The
hinges ol his system are well oiled; the springs of
his being are noiseless; and so he goes his way ie
joicing in full contentment and placidity; * * *
A fat man feels his position solid in the world;
he knows his being is cognizable; he knows he has
a marked place in the universe, and that he need’
take no extraordinary pains to advertise mankind
that he is among them: he knows that he is in no
danger of being overlooked. Your thin man is un
certain, and therefore he is uneasy. He may van
ish any hour into nothing; already he is almost a
shadow, ami hence it is, that he uses such laborious
efforts to convince you of his existence, to persuade
you that he is actually something; that he is more
than a nonentity; that he is a positive substance as
well as his corpulent fellow creature.
* * * It really does take a deal of wrong io
make one hate a fat man; and if we are not always
so cordial to a thin man as we ought to be, Chris
tian charity should take into account the force of
prejudice which we have to overcome against his
thinness. A fat man is the nearest to that most
perfect of figures, a mathematical sphere; a thin
man to that most limited of conceivable dimen
sions, a simple line. A fat man is a being of har
monious volume, and holds relation to the material
universe in every direction; a thin man, in hiet, is
but the continuation of a point.
Secret Prayer Rewarded Openly
When Jacob and Esau met—on the one side the
shaggy chieftain with Iris Jour hundred swordsmen,
and on the other side the limping shepherd with
his caravan of children and cattle—a flock of sheep
approaching a band of wolves; when the patriarch
took his staff in his hand and stepped forward to
meet the embattled company, and the anxious
retinue awaited the issue, they saw the tear
start into the rough huntsman's eye—they saw the
sword drop Irom Esau's hand—they saw £us brawny
arms round Jacob's neck--they saw in the red
savage a sudden and unlooked-for brother. They
saw the result, but they had not seen the prelude
which led to it. They had not been with Jacob at
the Jabbok the night before. They had not viewed
his agony and heard his prayer; 'and though they
noticed the halting limb, they did not know the
victory-whose token it was. They saw the pa
triarch, the husband and the father; but they
knew not that he was a prince with God, and had
gained Esau's heart from Him who has ail hearts
in his hand. The halting thigh and the pacified
foe were obvious; but the wrestling overnight was
unknown. The reward was open, but the prayer
was secret.— Mount of Olives.

The undersigned- Auditors of Lancaster County. Do
llkpout. that i hey have carefully examined the account
of John K. SUruder. Ksq.. late Treasurer of Lancaster
County, iu account with said County, aud find a balance
in his bauds, on the 7th day of January. ISSO. for Coun
ty purposes, of twenty-one thuiwunl eight hundred aud
seveuty-three dollars and sixty-live aud a half cents,
say $21,873 05j
We also find. at the same elate, a balance
of State appropriation for Common School
purposes iu hi* bauds, of ill roe hundred and
sixty-three dollars and six corns, say 363 00
Making the aggregate amount in his
hands, twenty-two thuusmd two hundred
and thirty-six dollars and seventy-one and
a half cents, for which amount he has this
day produced the receipt of Miller Fraim
the present Treasurer of the County, say $22,236 71}
We also tind that the Collectors of the following
township' have paid and settled olf their duplicates for
the year 1849. viz: Brecknock. Carnarvon. West Co
calico. Colerain. Conestoga. Conoy, Elizabeth. West
Hcmptield. Hast Lampeter. West Lampeter, Lancaster.
I’eun. Ilapho and Strasburp.
•, At the same date we find the duplicates of the Col
lectors of Conoy. West Lari. Mountjoy and Strasburp
Borough for 1848. and of West Donegal and Strasburp
Borough for'lB47. remaining unsettled.
Although the aggregate .amount ot outstanding taxes
compares favorably with that of last year, we regret to
find at the above date, unsettled balances due the
County for Che years IS4S and 1547 ; and. in justice to
the punctual tax : payers of the County, we feel con
strained to protest against such practice of Collectors,
permitting their duplicates of oue or even two years
previous to remain uu.-cttled at the time of auditing
the annual accounts ; we are especially at a time like
the present, when the financial condition of the County
requires a considerable portion of such taxes punctu
ally paid into the County Treasury, to be assessed for
and appropriated to the payment of interest on Loans
due by County. The County Commissioners orTreas
urer having the means of correcting this evil in their
hands, the Auditor.- feel thenw.dves so strongly justified
in refusing to allow a credit to the Treasurer in the ad
justment of his account for unsettled balances of du
plicates of previous years, for which a credit had al
ready been given, at a former settlement of the .County
accounts, that the majority of the undersigned, con
tinuing in officn. have resolved, with the approbation
of the honorable Court, to adopt such course at the
next adjustment of the Treasurer's accuunt.
During the year 1849. three townships have drawn
their proportional share of the State Appropriation for
Common School purposes, from the County Treasury,
still leaving a balance, as above stated, uncalled for.—
Since, by an Act of the LcgiMature. the adoption of the
C ommon School system has become general throughout
the County, the Lalanee of the appropriation should
come iu possession of those districts which are still
entitled to their shares, by their drawing it from
ihe County Treasury, thus putting an end to its longer
•• existence.” which has been one of continued ••decline”
from its infancy, through the frequent "consumptive
attacks” to which it was subjected by the commissions
thereon allowed to each successive County Treasurer,
during the •• long term of its existence ” amongst us.
We have also examined the account of William Gor
recht. Esq.. Treasurer of the Poor and House of Em
ployment of Lancaster County, and find the same cor
rect as presented to us. with a balance in his hands of
aixty-two dollars and twenty-four cents. $62 24
