Gen, Shields’ Speech. Among the many able and eloquent speeches of this session of Congress, says the Pittsburg Post, we may name that of . Gen. Shields on the Terri torial question as one of the most distinguished for eloquence and general ability. It discovers a wide range of thought and enquiry, and no one can read it without the conviction .that the General has a large, most accomplished and statesmanlike mind- Every-paragraph of it marks the thinker, as well as the orator and gentleman of elevated character. There is not a hacknied or common-place passage in-the whole speech, and even where a subject has been wom threadbare by the lound of common places that have been uttered with regard to it, the General, by the magic- which ever distinguishes true genius, gives it freshness and power and makes it the medium of high philosophic inculcating. We make an extract, and regret that we have not room for the whole speech: Mr. President. I sincerely believe that if the South had not assumed the extraordinary position that slavery is the normal law of this country; that, like the electric fluid, it pervades all space; that it exists -throughout this whole land, where not excluded by law; that slaveholders can carry their slaves like their horses to California and New Mexico, by force and virtue of the Constitution of the United States, and contrary tt) the municipal laws of Mexico still in force there, the terrible feel- ing awakened in the North on the subject of the Wilmot Proviso would never have found such gen eral expression in that portion of the country.— When Southern .men declare that slaves are like horses, mere chattels; that they can carry them with them into California and New Mexico by vir tueof the Constitution; that the Constitution pro tects the right of property in chattels, and conse quently iii slaves, the Northern feeling revolts against such claim. And even the very best friends of the .Sou& are compelled to reject such untenable pretensions. Sir, I cannot believe that you South ern men (Mr. Clat in the chair) have absolute property in their service, and that service is perpet ual. Slavery is a state of perpetual servitude, and you-have a right to employ all necessary power over the men to enforce such service. But you have no absolute property in the man , in that mys terious being composed of body and soul; you do not own him as your own horse, because no human law can give you such property in him. Sir, sla very was never understood in this sense in any country, neither amongst the Romans, the Greeks, or even the Mahommedans, and it is to be deeply regretted that such a claim should be urged by Christians. 1 have already said that the South may give up all idea of an equilibrium. Here it never existed, and never can exi_st. It is a most-fanciful notion at best—the mere dream of a political visionary. You cannot balance polical power; you cannot weigh it in scales; you cannot regulate it by any system oY equipoises. The thing is simply impos sible. Why, Sir, South Carolina l —a proud little State, spirited and intelligent—has wielded more political power in this Confederacy lor several years than some of the larger States of the Union. The equilibrium has often been tried but has always failed. The Frei)ch tried it, as they have tried every kind of experiment. After their first revolution, they established a Government, most fancifully constructed,' upon an equilibrium compounded of territory and population. It was the delight of the enthusaists of that age. No lib eral politician of that day seemed fully to appreci ate the absurdity of the experiment but Edmund Burke; and that great English statesman. I should say Irish statesman—but England appropriated him to herself, as she does ail renowned Irishmen tiiat great statesman, I mean to say, ridiculed the whole scheme, pointed out its absurdity and impracticability, and predicted its destruction And, sir. the prediction was soon verified. The very first heave ol the great political mass shattered the Government into a thousand fragments, and buried its projectors under its ruins. The experi ment, therefore, wholly tailed in Trance. After the fall of Napoleon, the Holy Alliance tried a similar experiment, and if any body of then'possessed the power to carry out such an experiment, the mem bers of the Holy Alliance did at that time. They settled the relative power and conditoil of the sever al -States, and established a great continental system upon what they called the equilibrium ol Europe! Sir, I should like to know what has become ot that system 1 I should 1 ilce to find out the slate of the equilibrium ol Europe now ' Sir, in my opin ion, the Czar ot Russia could throw the whole ol Europe at this moment, with the exception perhaps ol France at,d England, into one scale; and he would only have to throw his sword into the same scale, and m twelve months Europe would be Cos sack, from the Bosphorus to the British Channel So, the experiment of an equilibrium has utterly tailed in Europe. Sir, it has never succeeded, and never can succeed. The thing is impossible, and impracticable. You never can maintain a permanent equilibrium between States, or nations, or parts of nations. But 1 am wasting time unnecessarily such a subject. Now, sir, if all the dangers which the South sees in the tar distant luture, were, at this moment, pres ent and pressing upon us, I would most respectfully ask Southern gentlemen to tell me what remedy they would propose in such a case ' Say, a disso lution of this Conlederacy—the peaceable separa tion ol the States—an amicable destruction of this Government .' I would just as soon expect to see a high spirited Southern gentleman stand up quiet ly to have the whip put to his back, as to see the people of this- country sit down quietly, and look tamely and unmoved on the destruction of their Government. No, sir; t|ie very attempt would be war; the beginning ol a war of which none but God could foresee the end : a war of extermination and desolation; a continuous, ceaseless, perpetual war; a war to be transmitted from lather to son, from generation to generation, until your great Anglo-American race, now the pride, the boast, and glory ot this great continent, would become’a by word, a scorn, and a warning to the world. The very energy of your race, that terrible energy which is making you masters of this continent, would be the motive power to accelerate its own destruction —you would devour yourselves. But does any sane man suppose that the great North-west, with all its millions—that world that is growing up between tne headwaters of the Ohio and the headwaters ot the Missouri, between the Allegheny and Rocky -Mountains—will ever peaceably submit to see the mouth of the Mississippi river in the .possession of a loreigu Government 1 Never, sir. never With that people it would not be a question of reason • it would ' be above all reason; it would be a ques tion ol necessity and of existence; a thing whichi they never would quietly submit to. But there is' no danger of any thing of the kind. The people ol the valley ol the Mississippi can never separate. I hey may talk about it, and threaten it, but they never will attempt a thing so disastrous They are one people, tied together by the indissoluble bonds of physical nature. For weal or wo for good,or evil, the whole people of the Mississippi valley must share the same late and the same des- And does any man suppose that this people, occupying about one-eighteenth ol the habitable globe, will ever submit quietly and peaceably to see the-Southern States establish a separate confed eracy >I he idea is preposterous—very little short of insanity. . B u! l Up P OSe , the Sou,hern Confederacy was now ■ “if. bl l “ h , ed ’ w at 11 was fl ul<!,l y and .peaceably es tablished at this moment—what would be the ac - Inal condition of that Confederacy ? It would not exist a single day without a close and intimate connection with some great nation, having all the ? e,emen ls of industrial, financial, and commercial power. The South possesses none of these elements, tit has plenty of cotton, and it has brave men,- and f-jjovely women, but it is wholly destitute of all the ■other material elements of national power Every man that knows anything knows this. The South ern Confederacy, therefore, would be compelled by necessity to enter into a strict alliance with some great nation—that would doubtless be England Now, Old England is not a whit more partial to slavery than New England ; and Englishmen have a peculiar iondness for enforcing their own views upon their loving allies. But, sir, what would be the character of an alliance between such a nation and such a confederacy? It would be supremacy pn the one hand, and dependence on the other • it would he the worst kind of dependence, having all clntl deSfnce 3 " 11 n ° nC ° f ' he °< In fact, the Southern Confederacy would be a mere colony of masters and slaves, fo raise cotton for the lactones ol England. Besides, sir, it is my firm conviction that the institution of slavery as it now, exists in the South, would not last in ifs pres ent shape for the space of twenty years in that Southern Confederacy. The South might as well attempt to shut out the pressure of the atmosphere as to shut out the whole pressure of the civilized world on its.cherished institutions. Another Chi nese wall.would not be sufficient to protect the Confederacy? from the influences of Abolitionism flowing m upon it and invading it from every quartep of the civilized world. Sir, ip saying this, .1 may be permitted to add, that the effect ot abolh tionism at this time in the South would prove most disadvantageous to the slaves.

Ta verst Licenses. —We were in error last week in setting, down the applications for license of Hen ry Shaffner, in Mount Joy, and Israel B.

ICT'The Harrisburg Keystone of Tuesday last, publishes a correspondence between a number of the Democratic citizens of Harrisburg and mem bers of»the Legislature, and Hon. R. J. Walker, late Secretary of the Treasury, whom they had invited to a public dinner, on the occasion of his that Borough. Mr. W. declined on ac count of pressing engagements. He visited his relatives in Carlisle on Wednesday. Mr. Walker left Carlisle on Thursday, and rea ched Lancaster the same afternoon. He has since been staying at “Wheatland,” the guest of the Hon. James Buchanan, and will leave today or to mor row for his residence in Washington City. During his stay amongst us, a large number of our citizens embraced the opportunity of forming his acquaint ance, all of whom were much gratified. The correspondence will be found in another col umn, to which we invite public attention. . Speaking of the above allnded to, the Keystone very justly observes: This mark of public approbation toward Mr. Walker, on the part of our citizens, we consider richly merited. He is a statesman ot liberal 'and enlarged views, whose efforts have not been re stricted to any mere sectional or local policy. His course has been eminently national and Amer ican. . The bold and manly stand which he took in favor of commercial liberality and reciprocity ot trade, in the face of the most powerful array of talent and interest that ever was combined to op pose any measure; and the success with which he carried his measures out and falsified the predic tions of opponents, is one of the most brilliant as well as beneficial achievments for his country ever accomplished by any statesman. Bedford Gazette.— We are gratified to see that this sterling Democratic sheet has been enlarged to the double medium size, and is printed on new and handsome type. It is now one of the prettiest pa pers ir. the State, and Gen.

The Democracy ol Bedford county ought to double his subscription list with out any hesitation. May success attend him. , Virginia Election. lhe “Old Dominion" is as true as steel to the Democratic faith. The returns received indicate that the Democrats will have a majority of more than 30 on joint ballot in the Legislature! Last year it was 22. The people have also decided, by a very larg majority, in favor of calling a Conven Uon to reform the Constitution of the State. LD“ The bill erecting the new county of Montour which passed both houses last week, has been signed by the Governor. A . new Apportionment Bill—the fourth of the senes, passed the Senate last week.

The Cincinnati Chronicle says that there is nothing to fear but rust, and adds —“Last season, the State of Ohio lost seven millions of dollars, in twenty-four hours, by rust alone. We dare not count a wheat crop, till it is gathered; but vve may say, that in respect to the amount sown, and the present state of the plant, there is promise of a very abundant wheat harvest." , Tlie Sub Treasury.—! 'he Whig papers which have opposed this measure of the Democrat ic party from its institution, denouncSi it as un wise, and called lustily for its repeal, are not the sources to which we would naturally look lor any acknowledgements of its utility and benefit. But, in the “money article" of the New York Commer cial Advertiser, of the 27th ult., we find the follow ing testimonial of its worth and usefulness in put ting a check on “reckless speculations:’’-- The discovery of gold in such quantities has not produced the effects which were anticipated to any thing like the presumed extent, because events at home have combined to counteract what it was supposed must be the natural consequences of snck causes. The restrictions upon paper circulation, by the requirement of security in our own State, while they have given confidence to the public in the safety ot bank issues, have tended to diminish rather than increrse the quantity afloat, and to sub stitute specie in its place. But there is, perhaps, a restraining influence still more prwerful to be found in the operation of the sub-Treasury, an in stitution cumbrous and inconvenient, so far as the drily transactions of the community are concerned, but the effect of which has unquestionably been salutary in deterring that portion of our citizens who are apt to move forward regardless of conse quences from engaging in reckless speculations, as under other circumstances they would have been likely to do, considering the inducements presented by rhe discoveries in question. With a strong dis position on the part of many to go ahead, the res training influence of these causes is accasionally felt, and believing, as we'do, that with them the expansion ot obligations lias been as great as is consistent with safety, we must think that, without them, our position would have been anything rath er than one of comfort or safety. Wild Pigeons, —Letters from Indiana, says the Louisville Journal, complain that some of the pi geon roosts cover the forest for miles, destroying the timber. A letter from Laurel says: lam completely worn down. The pigeons are roosting all through our woods, and the roost ex iends lor miles. Our neighbors and ourselves have for several nights had to build large fires and keep up reports of fire-arms to scare them off. While I write, within a quarter of a mile there are thirty guns firing. The pigeons come in such large quan tities as to destroy a great deal of timber, break limbs off large trees, and even tear up some by the roots.- The woods are covered with dead pigeons, and the hogs are getting fat on them. Our old friend Hendrick killed fifty at four shots. ITTThe President of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroad Company has advertised for 8000 tons of iron of the H pattern, 3000 of which are to be de livered at Pittsburg and Beaver, before the close of canal navigation the present year. The Pittsburg Post says that none of the Rolling Mills in that city have machinery suited to making railroad iron. Tne Pittsburg Mercury , a Conservative journal, that advocated Protection, the Wilmot Proviso, and other humbugs, and was started by Whigs and fishy Democrats to break down the Morning Post —-the able organ of the Democracy of Alleghany county, has been abandoned by its projectots, and sold to the Chronicle, of that City. Another Tariff Panic. The whole capital of the Whig Party is now re duced to what little excitement can be raised on the Tariff question. With this single exception, the entire creed of Federalism has been interred in the grave of“exploded ideas.” Tne recollection of for mer successes, apparently arising from popular dis satisfaction with some of the features of the reve nue tariff has inspired the party with new hopes. When their stratagems of panic succeeded belore, the practical operations of our successive revenue laws had not been generally apprehended and traced to their legitimate causes and principles. Under such circumstances, it was no difficult matter to deceive the people with the sophisms of the protec tive argument, if we can give either term to the flimsy misrepresentations and appeals to mere prej udice and passion, which constituted the staple of its disingenuous advocates. It is somewhat strange that the Protectionists have not, in their recent movement, held these facts in view. The operation of the Tariff of ’46 has been beneficial in the extreme. The country has' never enjoyed the same degree of prosperity, or viewed the same glorious prospects in advance of its rapid march. The principles of that tariff are universally recognized as correct and triumphant, and by no party more conclusively than by the Whigs, who have never* redeemed one of their countless pledges to repeal and destroy it. It is a tribute to the act of ’4O, not without the deepest significance, that no effort has yet been made in Congress to abrogate the least of its provisions.— Nor would any effort to that end now' be made, if Federalism could find any more available instru mentality for the promotion of its real designs ! The first movement, on the part of the protec tionists,koines from a restless and suspicious quar ter; and, under cover of a trick in newspaper litera ture. which will disclose its true nature to any one of ordinary powers of discernment. It is a letter signed “An Operative,’’ which has been extensively published in the Eastern papers, pourtraying, in lu gubrious terms, the consequences of the stoppage of certain factories in Lowell, and earnestly beseech ing Congress to raise the duties, and “save the country.” The letter is only important, so far as it indicates the existence of an organized attempt to reproduce the excitements of previous years, and, under the pressme of a panic, to arrive at certain political results. The outcry from Lowell will be re-echoed Irom e\ery manufactory in the land, until the chords of distress will be universal, and, as on former occasions, almost irresistible. Interested persons will carry it fiom lip to lip, and timid pol iticians will blanch before the accumulating force of the torrent. But, after every effort, no matter how ingenious and cunning, the effort must and will fail. No alteration of consequence will be ef fected in the details of the existing tariff; for the reign of piejudice and self is over! The purpose of this movement at Lowell, says our intelligent contemporary, cannot fail to be un derstood. It is an expedient by which the manu facturing monopolists of the East expect to effect two objects;—first, the overthrow of. the present liberal commercial system established by the tariff ol 1840; and, secondly, the weeding out of the Amer ican operatives, and the supply of their plates by “for eign paupers,' at about one half the wages which they are obliged to pay the jnen and women who have hereto fore attended to their spindles and looms. Such are the objects to be attained by the performance of the new panic drama.— Times. ICT'The Louisville Democrat warns peoj-l.- t.» look out tor a general bursting up ol the cabinet at Washington. The country has long been tired of the concern and the members have got tired of themselves. Taylor should have leave to retire. Pay him off ami discharge him. Give him the bundled thousand, postage and let him go. He had better, if he must still remain nominally President, make up a democratic cabinet, and tell them to save the country and he will keep house for the balance of the term- The frolic the people took in 1848 has done some good It has taught the whigs a lesson. They now see that they are unfit to manage the government, and they will not undertake it again soon unless they can find some renegade democrat to consent to become a candi date for them. They will be afraid to elect a whig next time lest they be Taylorized: Tylerizing and Taylorizing are horrible things. The latter will be even worse than the former. They have not the consolation of charging Taylor with being a traitor, for he has turned out a good deal better than they expected, and he never promised to be any thing more than a sort of whig like.—N. Union. The Galphin Claim. The Washington correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer, speaking of this claim which has been paid to a member of the Cabinet, has the following paragraph, which will aflurd food lor reflection to all of our readers : “ The committee on the Gulphin claim, appointed at the instance ot Mr. Secretary Crawford, are very busily engaged, working during the session of the House It is surprizing what a stir that claim being paid has created in the public mind—the principal debt being $48,000, and the interest only the snug sum of $198,01)0. If this government should be compelled to the payment of all such worn out?claims and interest in addition, they had better employ tbe mines of California at once, for it will require two hundred millions of dollars to pay them all, including the debts of the revolutionary war, and the paper money of the day. The Gal phin claim is older than the Confederation, I am told, and long antecedent to the declaration of in* dependence. The whole affair is a mystery, and the passage of the law and payment of the money to Mr. Crawford, one of the Cabinet, by the decision of another member of the Cabinet, is to me, Messrs. Editors, another mystery, which the committee of the House can alone explain. There are other claims, equally objectionable, that have passed by the decision of Cabinet members, and I am told that three-pluck-one is quite a profitable science in these days of reform and retrenchment.” H7~The Wesleyan (Houston) Banner of the 17th inst., furnishes the following narrative of ajnost revolting murder; — Rutersvillf., April 10th. About a year or more ago, G. Hayden brought from Maryland four negro men belonging to a Mr. Goodwin, to this country; and the negroes have re peatedly said that they were only to stay here so long as Hayden lived. ~ Mr. Hayden was opening a new farm on the Navidad, and had rented some land .about three miles from his new’ place. On Thursday, the 4th inst., being somewhat indisposed, he left two oj fhe negroes and a German and went to his camp. That night two ol them, Moses and Bob, went to his camp—-Moses standing at the gate, thirty or forty yards from the camp. Bob went to the camp on the pretence to get medicine for the German.— Hayden gave him the medicine and got back in his bunk; Bob knocked him in the head with a maul and then dragged him out to the fire and tried to burn bim up, and succeeded in burning his legs off above the knees.—Finding this process slow, Bob took him and put him back in the camp (which was made of plank) and set fir* to it, entirely con suming his body. His bones were brought to this place on Sunday last and interred. Moses and Bob are in irons here. The third boy disclosed on the examination to day. Bob confessed the crime to him: he is also in irons. The confession is exactly, as I stated, as near as I can recollect. The two boys that told this tale did not know w’hat the other had told; but both told precisely the same story;'and the bones in the fire outside the camp, prove the w’hole to be true. Moses said that when Bob dragged the body to the fire and commenced piling wood upon it, he said to him: I cannot stand tbat, and went off late at night. The negroes said that Hayden was kind, and never had whipped them. Hat and Oats. —Hay, oats, and every descrip tion of feed for horses and cattle, are very scarce and high in this market, at present. Hay is selling from $l4 to $l6 per ton, according to quality, and oats retaU at 40 cents. There will be an immense quantity of feed required in this market, during this summer, and farmers and dealers may be assured of finding a ready sale for all they bring in, at high prices.— Pittsburgh Gazette. A Story for tbe Credulous. The Stratford Mtstert.— The “Stratford Mystery” appears to be just now in full flower in Connecticut, exciting the wonder of the credulous, and ministering to the general love of the marvel ’ lous. The wonderful things told of it exceed even the marvels of the Rochester spirits. The story of the Cock Lane Ghost, that Dr. Johnson claimed the credit of exorcising, is verified, and all the mys teries of mesmerism and clairvoyance stand con firmed and established—if we may credit the testi mony of 41 many people of the highest respectabil ity!” Then the character of the lamily in which these wonderful scenes are enacted—that of the Rev. Dr. Phelps, Secretary of the American Educa tion Society—is said to preclude the suspicion of its being a party to the traud. Yet we are required to credit stories that exceed in incredibility the wildest visions of* delirium tre mens, and of which the least incredible, perhaps, is the story that nine female ghosts appeared in a room of the haunted house, kneeling over Bibles, each open at some text, indicated by a turned down leaf or slip of paper, Divine authority for all other impossible things. These fair intangibles, we are gravely told, were clothed in dresses belonging to the ladies of the family ; and it is argued, that be cause those dresses were “hanging up in closets within a short time bfore the discovery” of the figures, they could not, therefore, have been adjust ed with that precision in which they were found by any other than supernatural means. The Derby Journal, published iu the vicinity of these marvellous doings, appears to have been 1 brought by habitual observation to a full belief in their supernatural origin, and carefully chronicles the incidents as they occur from day to day with historic solemnity. We give an extract from the latest and least marvellous of its reports: “ In yesterday’s paper, we were speaking about the brushes that were thrown around the room, and apparently at us, and the gentleman who was with us.—Without further comment, we proceed: “After these brushes had been thrown, and every effort made on our part to detect the source from whence they came, we proposed to our companion to go out of the room, and in our stocking feet to listen at the hall door, and see if we could not hear a rustling of the bed clothes, or some trivial cir cumstance whereby we could fasten the trick on the young lady. Just as we turned our backs, down came another brush; soon after, a large comb fell near one of the ladies’ heads; a piece of soap was found on the floor, and loud rappings heard.— We picked up the brushes and put them in oui pocket, and took our place near the door in the hall—our friend being at this time on the .garret stair, with his eye skinned, attentively listening to the sound. The rappings were now very loud and boisterous—so much so, that two gentlemen who came with us, sleeping in a room 30 feet distant, (perhaps more,) were aroused, and came where we were. Here then, were four individuals, with sound minds, listening to the most horrible rappings ever heard, racking their brains to ascertain whence they emanated. We had not been in this position but a moment, when something came against the door with great violence, and making a loud noise. Instantly every man sprang into the room, and fas tened his eyes on the persons in the bed—the wri tergrasping the hands ol the young lady, that he might not be deceived that she was not the cause. We found her in a very nervous state, and she told us that her cheek had been struck, which, upon examination, we perceived was very red. The cause of the noise was a large white pitcher that stood some four feet from the bed, ntar the foot, and nearly in one corner of the room, and which had been flung with a force which no delicate fe male could possibly possess, against the door, breaking off the handle, and leaving an indentation in the clapboards of not quite a quarter of an inch deep. This last staggered our senses —we could not believe it, and entered into a discussion on the spot. To show how unreasonable it is to suppose that the ladies threw it, we would state that to have done it, they must have got out of bed. Now the moment it was done, we were beside the bed, and the ladies’ hands were under the clothes. ■ No stir ring of the hands were visible—nothing whereby we could arrive at the conclusion that the females were the actors. “ Let us also state that if the pitcher came in a straight line from where it stood, it would, accord ing to the natural law of gravity, have struck in a corner of the room ; and if it went directly across the room, it would have struck the bureau ; but it did neither, and must have taken a semi-circular course to have reached the place it did. This ap pears foolish, absurd and ridiculous; but we are stating facts, as they took place in the presence of four individuals. Our readers can form their own opinions. “ But we find that our article is growing too long. Many will probably laugh at us for even giving pub licity to what we have seen; we shall never shut our senses out of doors, when we are in a right mind. These things may be produced by the fam ily—may be the workings of mesmerism —may be accounted for on the laws of electricity —may be the jSower of a clairvoyant —may be invisible dem ons—but we have nothing to convince us that it is the young lady, the lad, or any of the family—noth ing. Still it may be they. We are open for con viction, and when proof is brought to upset what we have seen, then we are willing to admit that we have been most beautifully humbugged—and by a mere lad /” K7“The State Central Committee, at their meet ing on the Ist tnst., recommend the State Conven tion at Williamsport to nominate candidates for Auditor General and Surveyor General. From the Pennsylvanian. Canal Commissioner. To the Editors of the Pennsyh'anian: I observe, Messrs. Editors, that there is much feeling on the subject of Canal Commissioner. Sev eral of the Democratic papers have got to logger heads about it; and there is danger that evil and dissension may be the result. Without desiring, however, to intimate a word against those who are already named, anil avowing my willingness to support either, for I have no personal favorites among them all, I beg to suggest a name which, in case of any difficulty in Convention, may be used as a name for union and conciliation. I -allude to JOSEPH GONDER, Jr., so well and widely known over the Union as one of the most experienced men, where public works are concerned, anywhere to be known. Mr. Gonder constructed the great Aque duct for the introduction of water into Boston, Mass., and was publicly and generally complimented for his skill. His numerous engagements in N. York have placed him, as it were, at the head of his pro fession; and a New Yorker said to the writer of this, some jveeks ago, “if a man of Gondeu s en ergy, ability, and usefulness, lived with us, we would make him Canal Commissioner, in spite of all his objections.' 5 * Mr.GoxuEu, as a gentleman, is known to many of your readers. His amiability, intelligence, and honorable bearin|;. are everywhere admired; but his nerve, his activity, bis quickness to perceive, and promptitude to act, arfe upt known. They have already given him a name he has every reason to be proud ol; ami I would rejoice to fee such rare qualities united in the next Democratic candidate for Canal Commissioner. Mr. Gonder is a native of Lancaster county; and is aDgmocrat in every sense of the word. He is so from ah in telligent understanding of the faith of the Democra cy. There is nothing conservative about him. All bis ideas, all his actions, are bold and vigorous.— He is still young, not more than thirty-five; and he would make, if elected, an officer above suspicion; for all who know him know his integrity and his worth, and know he would not stoop to do'a mean or a dishonest thing, for all the offices in the Blue Book.

The re port ol the committee is looked for with much in terest . lbe Galphin (Taylor) party are shaking in fear of the report ol the House Committee that will be made next week. Mr. Bort, of South Carolina, the able Chairman ol the Committee, is a shrewd and sound lawyer, and has given the whole subject his undivided attention. Mr. Meredith, the ‘‘Penn sylvania Secretary of the Treasury, was examined by the Committee, and in the course of his testimo ny he was hard pushed for precedents; to justify the payment of two hundred thousand dollars interest on a claim that was rejected by Mr. Walker, and I believe every one of his predecessors in office.— Ihe Galphin party have been in power one year and two months, and what a beautiful picture they present to the country for honesty, economy, and consistency. 5 1 here send you a copy of the Daily Globe that contains an able speech of our excellent representa tive in Congress, James Thompson, ot the Erie dis- The Democracy of Pennsylvania will be gratified to hear that, in a warm and excited debate in the House, in Committee, of the whole on the Census bill, that Judge Thompson fully and man fully defended his native tjtate.

Mr. Strong of Berks, also, was not backward in coming forward and throwing back, in an able manner, the unkind attacks made upon the honest Democracy of Pennsylvania.

Henry Omit, •Harrisburg, April 29, 1850. ' Gentlemen — I have received your letter of this dale, inviting me on behalf of the Democratic citi zens of the seat of government, and members of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, to a public dinner. For this mark of your kindness, and the approbation you have expressed of my public course in the sen ate of the Union, and in the Treasury Department, be pleased to accept my grateful acknowledgments, and fervent thanks. In advocating during the last twenty years’, the re-annexation of Texas, donations to settlers of the public domain, the specie receiving and specie cir culating constitutional treasury, the extension of our boundaries to the Pacilic, and the great cause of commercial freedom, 1 sustained measures and principles believed by me to be best calculated to advance the honor, interest and glory of my be loved country. In passing through this State, there is now pre sented, everywhere, abundant evidence of great prosperity. Agriculture is blessed with good har vests, remunerating prices, and enlarged markets, commerce and navigation flourish, labor finds ready employment, and generally good wages, whilst nearly every brancli of manufactures prospers. If there be any depression in any one pursuit, it is limited, partial, and temporary, and in a very short period, there will be no exception to the general success in every department of American industry. Here, at the seat of government of this State, loca ted upon the beautiful Susquehanna, upon whose banks I was born, new and extensive factories are going into operation, and there is every evidence of increasing wealth and prosperity. The credit of the government lias risen to the highest point, and our revenue from customs this year, reaches forty millions of dollars. Never had any nation such cause for gratitude and praise to that benignant Providence, which has carried us through so many trials, in war and in peace, to such a height of greatness, prosperity and power. By adhering strictly to the rules of equity and justice, by maintaining peace and enlarged commerce with all the world, byadjusting all our domestic difficul iies in that wise; patriotic, American and Christian spirit of mutual concession and compromise, in which the constitution was framed, and all its pow ers should be administered, we will bound forward in a career ol increasing wealth and power, eclip sing in the next half century even the glories of the past. Let us never forget that it was the Union that gave us freedom, that crowned our arms with victory in every contest, that floats triumphantly in every sea the honored ensign of our great republic, and is now advancing us to a height of prosperity and upon which the world will soon gaze with surprise and admiration. If we could destroy such a union, so fraught with blessings to ourselves and cheering hopes to mankind, we would justly merit, and surely receive the retributive chastise ment of offended heaven, and through scenes of in ternal strife and civil commotion, through fields of war and carnage, through towns and cities sacked, and farms laid desolate, amid the ruins of agricul-. ture, cornmerce and manufactures, our retrograde movement, towards a semi-barbarian state, would be far more rapid fqr the future, than has been our onward career for the past. I rejoice to believe that Pennsylvania, my native State, will stand by the Union, by encouraging that fraternal spirit, which animated her own immortal Franklin, when the government was first estab lished. In accomplishing this high and holy purpose of preserving the Union, let us all remember, that it was the constitution that made the Union, that the constitution and the Union are one and inseparable, and that in destroying the constitution, we would surely overthrow the Union which rests upon it. I regret extremely that circumstances beyond my control forbid my acceptance of your kind invita tion, but this mark of your regard and confidence will be ever most gratefully remembered by your Obliged friend and fellow-citizen, R. J. WALKER. To the Democratic citizens of Harrisburg, and Members ol the Legislature. CLr One of the persons who was arrested near Bainbridge, a few weeks since, on the charge of murder, has been discharged for want of evidence, and the other has been admitted to bail.

To day, the election for School Directors ol this City takes place. Under ihe provisions of the new law, thirty-six are to be elected, viz: 12 tQ serve one year—12 for two years—and I*2 for three do. The laying of the Corner Stone of the new Ger man Catholic Church, in this City, was postponed, in consequence of the rain on Sunday last. The ceremony will take place on next Sabbath after noon (the 12th inst.) at 4 o'clock. For the last two weeks the workmen have been busily engaged in tearing down the old Presbyteri an Church building, in East Orange Street, and clearing off the ground preparatory to commencing the new edifice.

Resolved , That the Select and Common Council of the cily of L.ancasler, deplore the death of Bonam Samson, Esq., late a mem ber of Common Council, and who was alike eminent for the faithful discharge of the du ties incumbent on him as a Councilman, and conspicuous in private life for his integrity and virtue.

Brutal, —We learn from the Columbia Spy, that a vile and abominable outrage was committed in that Borough, on Monday night week. A woman ol decent appearance was dragged into the. engine depot, by live or six brutes in human form, who, alter violating her person, stripped her naked, plas tered her body with tar, dragged her to an old boat and there left her, where she remained some thirty hours in a complete state of nudity and without a morsel ot food. r lhe names of the perpetrators of this diabolical outrage are, Gormley, Rotz, Pettit, Williams, Holster, and another known by the name of the “Flying Dutchman. 1 ’ We are glad to learn that four of the scoundrels have since been arrest ed, and are now in prison awaiting their trial. A'etv Publications We have received from Mr. Gish the following new publications just issued from the press: “Courtship and Wedlock"—a Novel, by the Au thor ol the “Jilt,' 5 and one of that writer’s finest productions. It is beautifully written. “The Creole; or Siege of New Orleans’’—An His torical Romance, founded on the Events of 1814— 10, and written by Joseph B. Cobb. It is a thrill ing romance, and will prove deeply interesting to those who give it .a perusal. Price 20 cents. Mr. Wilmot made a Free Soil Speech, in the House of Representatives, on Friday last, after which the House adjourned over till yesterday, when Mr. Winthrqi* has the floor. Dr. Parkman in Baltimore. —Singular as it may appear, there are a number of persons who actually believe that Dr. Parkman, who it is sup posed was murdered by Dr. Webster, is now in Baltimore. A man has been seen in our streets so much resembling him, that several gentlemen who knew him in Boston, hesitate not to say that he is the man. His conduct has been very erratic, going from one boarding house to another, stopping at any place only a few days. It will be remem bered that four or five respectable, unimpeached witnesses, testified during the triaHtoat they saw and spoke to Dr. Parkman in the streets of Boston, two hours after he was supposed to have been killed. Although the jury did not believe them, there are a great many persons in and out of Boston that do, and expect yet to see the missing man turn up. Is it beyond the bounds of possibility that the man now in our city, is not Dr. Parkman? We think not. Stranger things than this have happened.— -Aargus. MR. WEBSTER AT HOME —We are permit ted to extract the following from a private letter dated ? House ot Representatives, ) Boston, 30th April, 1850. $ Dear Sir: A vote has just been taken in this House concerning Mr. Webster's position and con duct in the Senate ot the United States. I hasten to tell you, presuming the result will be gratifvioe at Washington. A Free Soiler offered resolutions concerning Mr. Webster's course, and instructing him to vote for the Wilmot Proviso, fyc. The yeas and nays were taken, and the result was: For the resolutions, 77; against them, 139. Another vote was taken and ended thus: For rejection of the resolves, 122 t 047. . Mr. Webster arrived and spoke to a great throng of people in Bowdoin Square yesterday afternoon; he never received greater applause, nor ever spoke wdth greater power and boldness. 1 he Buffalo Express has a happy mode of conso ling its Whig friends in their troubles—hear it: The annals of our party contests furnish no in stances of change so great and reverses so disastrous in the same period of time, as the Whigs have ex perienced since Gen. Taylor’s accession to the Pres idency. From our overthrow in Connecticut, on the first Monday of April, 1849, up to the present hour, we have experienced an almost unbroken series of disaster and defeat. For a party which “has no friends to reward,” this must be gratifying intelligence! <EI )i JHarkets. Lancaster Markets* Lancaster, May 4.
