ID" We direct attention to the admirable speeches of Mr. Buchan as and Mr. Cessna, at the great Glasgow City Dinner. ID* Our readers are referred to the advertisement of Mr. Slaughter in another column. The prop erty he offers for sale is a very'desirable one, hand- finished, and in a pleasant part of the City. ID" The Courtrof Quarter Sessions foi: this Coun ty is now in session. { 1 ;fD“ We direct the attention of capitalists to the advertisement of R. Snodor'ass, in another column. The property he offers'for sale is one of the most desirable Tanneries in Cumberland county—lts lo cation and being unsurpassed any where—and every thing connected with it being in the most ample order. We can confidently recom mend it as being every thing it is represented.’ Theodore Thinker s First Lessons in Botany, is the title of a neat little volume, for sale at the Book store of Judd & Murray. It is, what its name pur ports, a treatise on the first elements of Botany, and will be an excellent work to place in the hand of young beginners. Bounty Land Certificates. We have seen one of the first new Bounty Land Certificates, No. s—issued from the. Department of the Interior to our fellow citizen, Richard Waters, in care of his Attorney, Col. William’ S. Amweg- The engravings are highly appropriate, and beauti- Jully executed. The-vignette represents a soldier returning to his family, on each side of whom are American shields; on the right of the certificate is a likeness of Gen. Lewis Cass, and on the left of the Hon. Henry Clay. The paper is embellished also with a splendid engraving of Gen. Washington .on horseback, and other martial devices, &c. Printers’ Festival. The Printers’ Festival, in this City, on Saturday evening last, the birth-day of Da. Franklin, was largely attended—not only by the Craft , but also by a number who are not members of the prolessr ion. Amongst the distinguished guests present were Judge Ellis LeWisj Judge G. W. Woodward,'of Luzerne, who was on a visit to Wheatland, and the Hon. James Buchanan. The supper was gotten up in Lichty’s best style, and every thing passsed off very agreeably to all who participated. The proceedings will be found at length in this paper, for which we are .indebted to the kindness of Col. Hanrtersly. At the same time their, publication has crowded out several columns of'advertiseraents. E?T Our city was honored on Saturday last, by the arrival of Judges Woodward and Black, and also by Hon. J. Porter Brawlet, Surveyor General elect, and Hon. Arnold Plumer, formerly State Treasurer. They were the guests of the Hon. Jas. Buchanan, at Wheatland, during a part of the time they were amongst us. Tli© Wew Postage BUI. ' The new Postage Bill passed, the House o f Rep resentatives on Friday, by a vote of 130 to 75. Tt provides for a uniform rate of three cents postage ; on each letter not weighing over half an ounce. It ■also provides that newspapers shall go free in the .mails any where in the county in which they, are printed, or within thirty miles from the place of . publication. We hope the hill may promptly pass the Sehate, and become a law. ' ■ ■ Accident.—On Tuesday afternoon last, a son of Mr. Edward Crewell, aged about five years, while playing with several other children on the railroad, in Prince street, was killed by a truck car which passed over his breast. ItT A. fire occurred at Mr. Moettinger’s bakery, in W. King street, on Thursday evening last, which was extinguished by the energy of our firemen— but not until considerable damage was done to the building and furniture. iLf~ A terrible accident happened in New York on Wednesday last. A row of brick houses, six in number, nearly completed, fell on a dumber of workmen; killing some eight or ten and wounding about double'that number. It is said that the mor. tar used in the erection of the walls was mixed with loam instead of sand, which was the cause of the gad catastrophe. 1 ErCapt. Jno B. Guthrie, the Democratic can didate, has been elected Mayor of the City of Pitts, burg, by 760 majority! He takes the place of the notorious Joe Barker,, who disgraced the City by his iufamous conduct the last year. ICTThe young and beautiful Countess Dembin ski, who came to this country in July last, with her husband, who is now honestly andnobly supporting himself by selling segars in Nassau street, next door to the office of the Evening Post, was born the Prin ec?i C ? art - oriska - iB somewhat singular,, that while foreigners are so much caressed in our fash-- lonable c.rcles, this- very lovely and accomplished young woman should not-receive any attehtion whatever. — N. Y. Evening Pott. Not the least singular, Mr. Post This lady’s husband is following an "honest business for his livelihood, which does not suit the tastes of the toad ies of foreign aristocracy. This is the reason, why the fashionables of your city take no notice of the Countess Dembinski. If Count Bembinski lived by his wits, swindling for a living, the nabobs of the . land would take him and his lady by the hand and make lions of them., “ Somewhat singular,” didj you say? By no means, sir. There is plenty of such feeling abroad. New York Is not peculiar, in this case, at least.—West Chester Republican. C7* , ihe population of the western district of Pennsylvania, as reported by the Marshal, is 1,008,- 011—being an increase in ten years of 264,152." ' The population of the whole State, we think will reach 2,400,000 i ’ - Gen. John M. Bickel is reelected State Treasurer. Eleictlon ofU.B Senator. We congratulate the Democracy of the State on the election of Horn Kichandßrodhead, ofNorth-: amp ton countyjto'the'U. S. Senate. Mr:J3. is a firm, talented and reliable Democrat—who had his constituents with- ’ great fidelity for six years in the House oL Representatives, and whose coarse on the great and exciting subject of the times—the question of -slavery—has been bold decided and national. There is perhaps no other man in the State who has incurred more of the haired of the Abolitionists and Free Soilers, and his election to the important>station qf. Senator is; a triumphant vindication of theposition which thej Democracy of Pennsylvania h ave a I tained on as well as rebuke j to :those who would have trampledTTnd foot the 1 long, establishes! customs and/usages of the party for the purpose oLeleyating themselves to power. | Speaking of the resdlt, the Pennsylvanian very; truly says: \ ■ The election of of. Northampton county, as the Democratic'candidate for U. S. Senator, has been received every where with demonstrations of joy. Although manyen-; tertained preferences in other quarters, the election; of Mr. Brodhead was particularly satisfactory for j several reasons. He has always been a stern and; radical national Democrat. .In Gongress he was; among the very first to discover and to denounce the infamous designs .of the Free Soil party under ! the lead of Wilmot, dnd other disorganizes, and : in the midst of every kind ot attack and misre presentation, he braved .the influences of what; .threatened.to be an adverse public sentiment, and unhesitatingly exposed the scheme which looked to the overthrow, first of the Democratic party, and next of tms Constitution as the vital bond of the Union. lie openly branded Wilmot upon’the floor of the H#use as the enemy of the Democratic party, and showed, from the record, his false and vacillat ing course in the last Presidential campaign. On all great questions he is the. representative, pecu liarly, of Pennsylvania, and will go into the na tional councils as one of the firmest and truest fijiends of the National Constitution. ; And again:— > } The lesson .taught to disorganization by the result of this election is a severe but wholesome lesson. The good feeling in the Democratic Caucus—the very full attendance of the Democratic members— the enthusiasm and unanimity with which, before the election, sixty-seven Democrats, a majority on joint ballot, bound themselves to support the nom ination when made—and finally, the manner in which the ultimate decree was reluctantly sustained by the unworthy few who had vainly tried to over throw that.decree-r—all show that wealth and Power —Boldness and Corruption—are utterly impotent and contemptible when arrayed against an honest and elevated Democracy, who know their rights, and knowing dare maintain them. To show the impression which Mr.' Brodhead’s election has made elsewhere, we copy the following article from the New York Herald of Thursday: The Election of U. S. Senator in Pennsyl vania.—The recent .election of Richard Brodhead, to the Senate, from Pennsylvania, is a great triumph to the friends of the Union. There was, in this contest, no bargain or sale, no coalition with the free soil party. He was elected, with his senti ments fully known in favor of the Fugitive Slave Law, and he received, with one exception, the full Democratic vote of the Legislature. Pennsylvania therefore, is determined not to sanction the repeal of this law in Congress. | ; ■ The excitement growing out of this senatorial canvass was produced by local and person al preferences. It was conceded that a Democrat wouid-be elected, but iD the multiplicity of candi 'dates, the choice was considered doubtful. Accord ing to former usages, the western part of the State was entitled to the but General Cameron, although living, in the east; put forth his claims, on the ground that Senator Cooper.was a Whig, and therefore the Democracy of Eastern Pennsylvania was equally entitled to a representative in the Senate. j The hopes, however, ofjCameron’s friends were clouded with difficultiesnnd objections not easily to be removed. He was opposed to regular nomina tions; he had qdarrelled with Mr. Buchanan ; and he was seeking an election by the aid of Whig votes. Theso were grave matters for the patent Democrats to reflect upon submit to. But these were not all. The Republic, at Washington, gave 'him the cold shoulder; the North American , in Philadelphia, openly opposed his election, and other leading Whig papers'refused to countenance his claims on any condition.. If,his prospects of Whig support at one time, looked blue, they were made absolutely black', to the 'Democracy, by the publication of one of General Jackson’s last letters, in which “the old Roman” mentioned him in language far more candid than complimentary. It is supposed the Whigs would have supported General Camernn, finally, if fifteen Democratsifcad been prevailed upon' to follow his fortunes.— But the number could not be obtained—the Demo cratic caucus was held, at which a majority of the Legislature was present, and it was found that seven only of the party \yere absent who were 'willing to coalesce with the Whigs. The democ racy of the west, not being able to agree on any one of the numerous candidates', dropped all, and gave the nomination to Mr. Brodhead, from the banks of the Delaware river. The election came off nextday,-and General Cameron was nowhere, his seven friends assisting to swell the majority of the caucus candidate. General Cameron has not displayed his usual tact in this campaign. It was a sad mistake to rouse the old lion at the Hermitage —it'was a blunder to quarrel with Buchanan, whose irresistible influence and popularity have outlived that of too many assailants in Pennsylvania, to be now provoked with impunity, and it was folly to court the Whigs before failing in caucus. Ridiculous! The Spirit of the limes claims the election oT Mr. BnADHEAD as a “ Cameron triumphl ” and yet, in the very same article, says that he is “ distant from all factions, and prepared, by every circum stance of his social and political life,, to carry for ward the grand objects of lour political organiza tion.” How he can be a Cameron man, and at the same time distant from all factions and in favor of our political organization, is more than we can di vine! The thing is impossible, and the Times only makes itself ridiculous by claiming his election as a triumph for Gen. Cameron. There is nothing in the past history ’of Mr. Brodhead, nothing in his present position, nothing in his future prospects, that can by possibility give the coloring to the claim of that paper—on the contrary,,the very reverse is the fact, and his course in the Senate will, be such as to fully justify the assertion that he is one of the firmest and most reliable Democrats in the State. . the Annual Report'd the Auditor Gen eral of this State, the following statistics relating to our county, condensed : The amount of Tax on Bank-dividends lor 1850, iB $153,877 14; of which Lancaster County pays $4,890 07.

BCCH.ASAS’S SPEECH, AT THE DINNER GIVEN TO CAPTAIN . , MATHEWS—JAN. Jl, 1851. . After Governor Johnston had concluded/Mor ton McMiehael said that he had been instructed to propose the health of Pennsylvanian who was then present—one who’ had represented his State in the national\legislative councils, and had occupied a chief place in the National admin* istration, and in regard to whom, however political differences might exist, all agreed that his high talents, his unsullied integrity, and his distinguished public services had justly, placed him in . the fore most rank not only of Pennsylvanians, but of all Americans. He therefore gave The health of the Hon. James Buchanan. Loud, unanimonSj and continued cheering greet ed Mr. Buchanan, as, he rose to respond to this toast, and after making his acknowledgements to the company for the kind manner in which he had been received, proceeded to speak as follows: What a spectacle does this meeting present? It must be a source of pride and-gratification to every true-hearted Pennsylvanian. Here are assembled the Executive and Legislative authorities of the commonwealih,-several members from the State to the present Congress, as well as those elected to the next, and tne Board of Canal Commissioners, enjoying the magnificent hospitality of the City and the incorporated Districts adjacent—all of which in fact constitute but one great city ot Philadel phia. (Applause.) What important event in the history of Philadel phia is this meeting intended to celebrate ?. Not a victory achieved by our arms over a foreign foe. Not the advent amongst us of a great military cap tain iresh from the bloody fields of bis glory; but the arrival in our midst of a peaceful commercial steamer from the other side of the Atlantic. This welcomed stranger is destined, as we all trust, to be the harbinger of a rapidly increasing foreign trade between our own city and tljegreat commercial city of Liverpool. AH hail to Captain Mathews and his gallant crew ! Peace, as well as war, has its tri umphs; and ihese, although they may not be so brilliant, are far more enduring and useful to man kind. The establishment of. a regular line of Steamers between these two ports will prove of vast impor tance both to the city of Philadelphia and the State at large. And here, let me observe that the inter ests of the city and the State are identical—insep arable. Like man and wife, when a well assorted couple, they are mutually dependent. The welfare and prosperity of the one are the welfare and pros perity of the other, “ Those whom Heaven has joined together, let not man put asunder.” If any jealousies, founded or unfounded, have heretofore existed between them, let them be banished from this day’ forward and forever. Let them be in the “deep bosom of the ocean buried. (Applause.) The Great Central Railroad will fqrnish the means of frequent and rapid intercommunication between the Qity and State. In the course of an other year, Philadelphia will be brought within twelve or fourteen hours of our great Iron City of the West—a city of as much energy and enter prise for the number of inhabitants, as any on the face of the earth; and, I might add, ot as warm and generous hospitality. I invite you all, in the name of the people ot the interior, to visit us oft ener than ; you have done heretofore. You shall receive a jiearty welcome. Let us become better .acquainted, and we shall esteem each other more. (Applause.) ! W »U this great undertaking to extend the foreign commerce of Philadelphia with Europe, by means of regular lines of steamers, prove success ful? To doubt this is to doubt whether the capi tal, intelligence, and perseverance which have as sured signal success to Philadelphia in every other industrial pursuit, shall fail when applied to steam navigation on the oceanl But after to night there vf/ 1 D 0 We have put our hand to the plough, and we must go ahead. We dare not, because we cannot, look back without disgrace; whilst success in foreign commerce will be the cap-sheaf—the crowning glory of Philadelphia. • (Applause.) The distance of Philadelphia from the ocean, and the consequent length of.river navigation have hitherto constituted an obstacle to her success in ■foreign trade. Thanks to the genius of Fulton, this obstacle has been removed, and the noble Del aware, for every purpose of foreign commerce, is as if it were an arm of the sea. We learn from the highest authority, that of the pioneer, who was an officer in one of the first steamers which ever crossed the Atlantic, and has successfully comple pleted his mnety-ninth voyage, that the difference in ,ime l* r °m Liverpool between New York and Philadelphia is onlyiabout twenty hours. This is comparatively of no importance, and cannot have the slightest effect on the success of the enterprise. )Applause.) ; Fulton was a native citizen of Pennsylvania.— He wap born in the county; where I reside. And shall n6t the metropolis ol the native State of that extraordinary map who, first of the human race successfully applied steam power to navigation, enjoy the benefits of this momentous discovery which has changed the whole face of the civilized world? Philadelphia, in her future career, will gloriously answer the question. (Applause.) ' Philadelphia enjoys many advantages for the successful pursuit o f Foreign commerce. Her population now exceeds 400,000; and it is a popu lation of which we may be justly proud. It is of no mushroom growth; but has advanced steadily oriwaid. Her immense capital is the result of long years of successful industry and enterprise. Strength and durability characterize all her undertakings. She has already achieved distinguished success in manufactures, in the mechanic arts, in domestic commerce, and in every other industrial pursuit, and in the natural progress of events, she has now determined to devote her energies to Foreign com merce. ; And where is there a city mthe world, whose shipyards produce finer vessels? Whether for beauty of model, rapidity of sailing, or durability, Philadelphia built vessels have long enjoyed the highest character. As long as I have been in the public councils. I have never known a vessel of war built in this city not fully equal to any of her class afloat on the waters of the world. A few weeks since, I had.the pleasure of examining the steamer Susquehanna, and I venture,to say that a nobler vessel can no where be found. She will bear the stars and the stripes triumphantly amid the battle and the breeze. May we not hope that Philadel phia steamers will, ere long, be found bearing her her name on every sea, and to every greafcommercial port on the face of the world. (Applause.) The vast resources of the State which will be poured into the lap of Philadelphia' will furnish the materials of an extensive foreign commerce.— And here, in the presence of this domestic family | Pennsylvania circle, may we not indulge in a little* ; self-gratification, and may we rfot he pardoned, if nobody else will praise us, for praising ourselves? VVe have every reason to he proud of our State; add perhaps we ought to cherish a little more State pride than we possess. This, when not carried to excess—when it scorns to depreciate a rival is a noble and useful principle of action. It is the pa rent of a generous emulation in the pursuit of all thht is excellent, all that is calculated to adorn and bless mankind. It enkindles the desire in us fo stand as high as the highestamong our sister slates, in the councils of our country, in the pursuit of' agriculture and manufactures, and every uselul art. This honorable feeling of State pride, particularly when the Pennsylvanian is abroad, out of his native land, will make his heart swell with exultation, if he finds that Philadelphia has become a great com mercial city, her flag waving over every sea, her steamers to be seen in every port—an elevated po-. sition in which Philadelphia, if she but wills it, can undoubtedly be placed. The great and good founder of our State, whose precept and whose practice was “ peace on earth, ancl good will to man,” immediately after he had obtained the royal charter, in the spirit of pro phetic enthusiam, declared, “ God will bless and make it the seed of a nation. I will have a ten der care of the Government that it will be laid at first.” How gloriously this prediction has been verified! God has blessed it, and the seed which the founder sowed has borne the richest fruit. We are indeed a nation, confederated with thirty other sovereign nations or States by the most sacred political in strument in .the annals of mankind,' called the Constitution of the United Besides, we are truly the Keystone of this vast confederacy, and our character and position eminently qualify us to act as a mediator between opposing extremes.— Placed in the centre, between the North and the South, with a. population distinguished for patriot isnr| and steady good sense, and a devoted love to t e Union, we stand as the days man, between the extremes and can declare with the voice of power £ j b0 *! h ' ,h . erto *°u go, and no farther— Miy this Union endure forever, the source of innu merable blessings to-those who live under its ben eficent sway, and the star of hope to millions of down trodden men throughout the world!' Bigotry has never sacrificed its victims at the shrine of intolerance in this'our favored State When they were burning witches in Massachu setts, honestly believing at the time they were do ing God's service, William Penn, in 1684, presided at the trial of a witch. Under his direction, the verdict was: “The prisoner is guilty of the com mon fame of beingji witch; but not guilty as she stands indicted.” And “in Penn’s domain, from that day to says the gifted.historian, “ neither demon nor hag ever. rode the air on -goat or broom stick” - From the first settlement of the province until the present moment, the -freedom of .conscience established by the ‘founder, has been jgrfect; :Re ligion has always been a question exclusively be tween man and his Creator; and every human being has been free to worship his Maker accord ing to the dictates of his own conscience. • Bigotry, madly assuming- to itself an attribute belonging to the Almighty, has never attempted to punish one ot his creatures for not adapting his belief to its own standard of faith. • We have great cause to be proud of the early history of Pennsyl vania. ■ ~ ‘ Pennsylvania more than any other State of the Union, has been settled by emigrants from all the European nations. Our population now exceeds two millions and a quarter, bnt we cannot say that it is composed of the pure Anglo-Saxon race. English, the Germans, the Scotch, the Irish, the Welch, the French, and emigrants from every other European country have all intermingled upon pur happy soiL We'are truly a mixed race. And is this'not a cause for self gratulation? Provi dence, as if to designate his will that families and nations should cultivate* extended intercourse with each other, has decreed that intermarriages in the same family shall eventually produce a miserable and puny race, both in body and in mind; whilst intermarriages among entire strangers have been signally blessed. May it then not be probable that the intermixture of the natives of the different na tions is calculated to produce a race superior to any one of the elements of which it is composed ? Let us hold that we posssess the good quaiites of all, without a large share of the evil qualities of either. Certain it is that in Pennsylvania we can boast of a population which for energy, for patient industry, for strict morality, are unsurpassed by the people of any other country. And what is her condition at present ? Heaven has blessed us with a climate, which, notwithstand ing its variations, is equal to almost any other on the face of the earth, and a soil capable of fur nishing all the agricultural products of the tem perate zone. And how have we improved these ad vantages? In agriculture we have excelled. I have myself been over a good portion of the best cultivated parts of the world, but never ariy where in any country, have I witnessed such evidences of real substantial comfort and prosperity, such farm houses and barns, as are to be found in Pennsylva nia. It is true we cannot boast of baronial castles and of extensive parks and pleasure grounds, and of all the other appendages of wealth and aristoc racy which beautify and adorn the scenery of other countries. These can only exist in countries where the soil is monopolized by wealthy proprietors, and where the farms are consequently occupied by a dependent tenantry. Thank Heaven! in this coun try, every man of industry and economy, with the blessing of Providence upon his honest labor, can acquire a freehold'for himself, and set under his own vine and this own fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. Then in regard toour mineral wealth. Wefliave vast masses of coal and iron scattered with a pro fuse hand under the surface of our soil. These are far more valuable than the golden sands and golden ore of California. The-patient labor necessary to extract these treasures from the earth and bring them to' market, strengthens the sinews of the la borer, makes himsell reliant ai* dependent upon his own exertions, infuses courage Into the heart, and produces a race capable of maintaining their •liberties at home and of defending their- country against any and every foreign toe. Look at your neighboring town of Richmond. There three mil lions of tons of coal are annually brought to market, and the domestic tonnage employed for sending it abroad, exceeds the whole foreign tonnage of the city of New York. All these vast productions of our agriculture and our mines are the natural ali ments of foreign commerce for the city of Phila : delphia. But this is not all. Our Central Railroad will soon be completed, and when this is finished, it will furnish the avenue by which the productions of the great West will seek a market in Philadelphia. It will connect with a chain of numerous other Rail roads, penetrating the vast valley of the Mississippi in different directions, which will bring the produc tions of that extended region to seek a market in Philadelphia. And with these unexampled materials for foreign commerce, is it possible that the city of Philadel phia will hold back? Will she not employ her capital in these elements of wealth which Provi dence has placed within her reach? What is the smallest share of foreign goods necessary for the supply of Pennsylvania, and the regions of the far West which seek her markets for these productions. She is bound, by every principle of interest and duty, to bring to her wharves this amount of for eign trade; and never, as a Pennsylvanian, shall I rest satisfied until she shall have attained this measure of success.- Shall she then tamely look on and suffer her great rival city, ot wbieh-erery American ought to be proud, to monopolize the profit and advantages to which she is justly and fairly entitled ? Shall New York, continue to be the importing city for Philadelphia? Shall she any longer be taunted with the imputation that, so far as foreign trade is concerned, she is a mere provin • cial and dependent city l She can, if she but en* ergetically wills it, change this course of trade, so disadvantageous to her character and her interests; aqd the proceedings of this meeting afford abundant assurances that from this day forth she is destined to enter upob a new career. She must be prepared to encounter and to overcome serious competition. She must, therefore, nerve her arms for the struggle.' The prize-is worthy of her most determined efforts. But there is another grand theatre open for the foreign navigation of Philadelphia in the carrying trade of the world. Our forefathers, after the Con stitution of the United States had been adopted, found that our foreign trade was in ja languishing condition. Under the“rival and conflicting, com mercial regulations of thirteen State sovereignties, jealous of each other, as they were under the old confederacy, our great rival, Great Britain, had en joyed almost a monopoly of our foreign trade. At this period, the Government of the United States, composed of the sages ol the Revolution, devoted their serious attention to foster our foreign merce. Congress protected it from foreign compe tition by heavy discriminating; duties both oh ton nage and imports. These soon prbduced the hap piest consequences. By the year 1815, ike infant Hercules had burst his bonds, and had acquired the strength and vigor of a giant. We were then pre pared to contend on "equal terms against the navi gation of the world. - All we then asked was a fair field and no favor. We no longer needed discrimi nating duties for our (protection. Since that time, our Government hasjdevoted itself with as much energy and zeal to palace our foreign navigation upon a perfect equality in regard to tonnage and imports with the navigation.of all other nations, as ; it had done to protect its infancy against foreign ! competition. Its true interest equally dictated both systems. By the act of 3d March, 1815, we declared that we would admit into our port the vessels of every nation, carrying articles, the produce or manufac- 1 ture of such nation, without laying any other ton nage or import duty than we levied on American vessels; provided such nation would admit into their ports American vessels, laden with American produce or manufactures, without imposing any import or tonnage duty beyond that which was paid by their own vessels. 1 This offer of perfect equality was first confined to the direct trade between the United States and foreign countries in the vessels and productions ol each country. By act of Congress of 24th May, 1828, we cast aside every shackle, and offered to all nations to open our ports for the admission of their, vessels, in the indirect or triangular trade, bearing the produc tions of all countries to our shores, upon the same terms with our own vessels, provided ‘a similar concession should be granted in return to American vessels in such foreign ports. That is, we offered to every nation on earth to make our ports as free to their vessels and cargoes, coming from any part of the world, and laden with any portion of the earth, as they were to our own vessels; provided, they would extend the same privileges to qur navi gation. This act preceded the repeal of the British Navigation laws more than twenty-one years. Several of the nations had accepted our offer long before Great Britaip. At length she acceded to our terms and repealefl her navigation law; but,to us belongs the glory of commencing thisgrand career of unshackled commerce. When Great Britain, in 1849, repealed ner navigation laws, Congress was not requested toi pass any new Act to give them effect. This repeal was a mere acceptance of the Act of 1828; and\ny friend Mr. Meredith, the then Secretary of the Treasury, h&d nothing more to do than announce the fact, through a proclamation ol the President, that Great Britain had accepted these terms. (Loud applause.) Thus has the way been opened for our naviga tion to carry the productions of all foreign nations (rom the ports of the one to those of the other. It las been said that the sun never sets upon the em pire of Great Britain ; and now, in all her numer ous ports American vessels have the right to enter coming from any quarter of the world, upon the same terms with her own vessels. (Applause.) I confess, my friends, that one of the acts of my nowflong political life, on which I can reflect with the most heartlelt pleasure, is my instructions to Mr. Bancroft, under the direction of the late Presi dent Polk, to open negotiations with the British Government for the purpose of placing the foreign trade between the two countries upon terms ol perfect reciprocity, fully convinced that American energy and enterprise would triumph in the strug gle. And well and nobly was the duty performed by our distinguished diplomatist.. The proposition was at once embraced by the enlightened British Cabinet, and a repeal : of their whole system of navigation laws followed. (Applause.) And what an able and animating pursuit is that of, commerce! jit brings remote regions near, renders the different races of mankind dependent . upon eacho ther, annihilates prejudices and hostile feelings, and constitutes the surest bond of peace among the nations, it' spreads Christianity and civilization throughout every clime. By its agency must be accomplished that universal brotherhood of;nations,foretold in; ancient prophecy, when the 1 sword 6hall be converted in the. plough share and' the lion shall lie down with the lamb. (Applause.) Besides, it is the handmaid of free institutions, where liberty and property are protected by fixed and stable laws. If cannot flourish in a country where the merchant is not assured that he and his children sha,l peaceably enjoy the fruits of his en terprise. Under military despotisms the merchant does not hold that respectable rank in society to which he is entitled. . There the most petty mili tary officers regard him as belonging to an inferior class. It is a sure sign of enlightened progress w merchants take their proper rank in society. Civilization teaches us'to believe that the triumphs of foreign commerce are far more glorious, be cause far more useful to mankind, than the tri umphs of foreign war.; (Applause.) Foreign commerce not only enriches but gives character throughout the world to the cities which are i successful in its pursuit. Such cities lose their provincial positions and are elevated into marts for all mankind. May we not hope that at no distant day Philadelphia will enjoy the proud distinction of rivaling London, and" Liverpool, and New York, in the successful pursuit of foreign commerce.— (Prolonged cheering.) MR. CESSNA’S SPEECH. Hon. William M. Meredith, at the close of a brief speech, gave the following toast— “ The Members of the Legislature of-Pennsylvania. —The worthy representatives of a free people.” This w’as'responded to by John Cessna, Esq.* Speaker of the House of Representatives, as fol low’s : If affords me great pleasure, on the present oc casjon, to rise in order to attempt to respond to the sentiment just delivered by the very worthy and justly distinguished gentleman upon my left. It af fords me great pleasure to do this on behalf of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, most of whom are , novy here, and most of whom have partaken of the hospitality, and cordiality, and kind sentiments and feelings offered by the constituted authorities ol the city and county of Philadelphia. (Applause.) We hail it as a; new era in the history of our great and glorious Commonwealth. We have come down among you from our native hills and moun tains—w’e have come here from'the off North; from the far distant West, from all sectiqns of our glorious old Commonwealth. We have left off for a few’ hours the ardous.task of making laws, and the still more complex duty of making Senators to make law’s for you. We have come here in your midst, to see a great portion of the people—a vasf amount of the interests for whom these laws are to be made. (Applause.) '< We rejoice to meet you. We have received a cordial and hearty welcome—one which I am sure, no part of the Legislature of Pennsylvania will ever forget. It has been remarked here this Evening, that on some occasions, animosities, and jealousies, and ill feelings, have existed among us. This may be the fact; and if there are such Jeelings, in the words of my friend I trust that they may here, on this, spot, and in this spirit of Pennsylvania pride which has been, manifested, be buried henceforth and forever. (Applause.) It we, as representatives of Pennsylvania, have- on any occasion exhibited any feeling of this kind, we trust that we will be forgiven, when you remember that our partialities fpr pur own sections have been strengthened by the last'lingering look cast upon our hill and Mountain tops as we left our homes and friends be hind us; but w’e will not forget, and I trust we never shall forget, that we are all integrals of the same great body, parts of the same great whole; that while we are promoting the interests of one section, we are at the same time advancing the interests ot all others. [Loud applause,] The prosperity, the success and well-doing of Philadelphia are the pros perity and the success of Pennsylvania. [Applause.] We' remember that although we love our homes, although we have our own sectional interests and advantages to promote, yet we can only promote them with the true spirit and in the proper degree by promoting the interests and advantages of our great metropolis. [Applause.) While Philadelphia is enriched by allowing the State to pour into her lap her coal and her iron, her grain and her stock —while it is a market for all the produce of our people, of the bone and. sinew of our land, if you - are enriched by receiving it, we are enriched by the fact' that we have a market where it receives a ready sale. Our interests are mutual. We rejoice in the pride of Philadelphia, and in the pride of Pennsylvania. It is possible we may not perform our duty as well as we should, but we must, and we dll do, try to remember that we have sworn to support the Constitution of Pennsylvania; and be sides that, that when we receive the oath of office .we swear to support the Constitution of the United States—(applause)—an that we regard, not -because we have taken an oath to support it, but because in the very ;inmost depths of our souls we love it. (Applause.) I delight in this exhibi tion ; of your hospitality, and in the opportunity that has beeu.-afforded to us all to witness this spectacle. Philadelphia is what she is, without all the advan tages which we expect very shortly to derive from this ; connection, this great link of improvements, the advent of the first arrival of which we now celebrate. We have become what-we are under a system of turnpikes and pack horses. If Philadel phia !can come to what she now is. under this sys tem, jwbat will she be when she receives the whole Atlantic trade from- the lakes on- the north, the whole trade of the Mississippi valley on the south, by the Ohio river, coming to our great 1 metropolis by way of the Pennsylvania railroad, with a foreign market opened by the steam line which is just go ing into operation? I say we as Pennsylvanians all rejoice in this exhibition, We look too upon the Pennsylvania railroad when completed, as one of the greatest advantages-which Pennsylvania ever can hope to derive from any quarter. This road will bring to you here the products, not only of the country through which it passes, but by extending branches over every point where they may be use ful, you will be able to gather into your midst the products and the iron and coal of the whole broad commonwealth. Permit me then, in conclusion, to . propose a sentiment: Tlie health of Col Patterson, the President of the railroad company. (Applause.) ' Letter from Harrisburg. CorretpoQiience of the Intelligencer. Harhisbuko, January 10, 1851 Ca|pt. Sandeksos : —The incidents of the past week; will .form an epoch in the political History of Pennsylvania. It was a week pregnant with events of the; highest importance to the Democratic party, in which the love of honest party principle was called! to contend with all the temptations which money, and the concentrated influence of a faction rendered desperate by the prospect of an overwhelming defeat, could bring to bear upon it. And to. the •immortal honor ol the Democratic partyjbe it spoken, they have passed the ordeal unscathed, tyid triumphant victory has perched up on their banner. To one who was not a witness of the proceedings .here, it is almost impossible to conceive how unwearied were the efforts of this ruthless faction to complete the overthrow of the Democratic party.' Every passion that finds a home; in the human breast was appealed to, but in vain.; True to themselves and their patty, the De mocracy stood firm, and by their noble course strengthened theij* cause, and rehdered it impregna ble to; the of political speculators. During the whole of Monday, the most intense excitement prevailed. Rumors of the defection of men whose honest allegiance to principle had never i been questioned, rife, and as they time for the meeting of the caucus approached, the anxiety plainly manifest ill the countenances of Cameron s friends, told as plainly as words could have done, the utter of their case. Yet they re laxed not their efforts, but to the last moment con tended with all the energy of desperate men. for the ascendency. :As the members of the caucus entered the Committee Room the pimps of the dis organizes, stationed themselves in the avenues leading to it' and jcarefully noted their number and names 1 . Sixty-fiye members were counted, and the faint Hopes of Catfieron revived. Another member was wanted, to give a majority on joint Ballot.— Could he be. obtained, was a*question of moment tous import. A [look of triumphant satisfaction lighted up their countenances, as minuteafter minute elapsei and the than upon whose presence in tha committee room depended the ascendency of Dem ocratic principles, failed to make his appearance. Alas! 'for , The caucus has already organized, the roll has. been called—the pledge to sustain! the nominee who ever he might be, taken, and the members: awaited but the return of tbe. committee appointed to invite the recreants to par ticipate, when A|r. Dobbiks of Schuylkill, burst ing the trammels of faction, entered the room and requested permission to f record his name to the pledge! This of course wa3 granted, and soon af ter, the appearance of another member who had been unavoidably detained, completed the The caucus proceeded to balloting,- and after twelve attempts, Richard Brodhead„of Northamp ton county was declared the nominee. Another unanimous pledge was then given to sustain Richard Brodhead, and the caucus adjourned. Firm and determined as had been the course of the caucus, the disorganizes did not yet abandon all hope. Doubtful ones were approached by all the appliances desperate men could suggest. Bribes were offered in the form of money, office, &c. Threats were made, but in vain. Up to the hour appointed for the organization of the House, their efforts were not abated-; and it was not until hope had; given way to black despair, that these despe rate men,, to save themselves from utter political ruin, concluded to cast their votes in iavor of Brodhead. Your readers know the rest. Pardon the space devoted to this subject. lam -desirous that the masses should know all about it, so that when in after years this important event is referred to, the course of Simon Cameron and his friends may be fully understood. Mr. Brodhead was nominated in caucus on the 12th ballot—sixtyseven members present. The vote stood for Brodhead 34 ; Woodward, 24 ; scat tering, 9. Seven Democratic members refused to go into caucus, all of whom voted lor Mr. Brod head the next day. His vote in convention was 76. The Whig vote was ” A resolution granting the use of the Hall of the House on the aftbmoon and evening of each day during next week, to the State Agrk i'-ural Con vention, passed. The proceedings of this Conven tion will do more to call the attention ot the Leg islature to -the important subject of Agriculture than any thing that has hitherto been attempted in its favor. In both branches of the Legislature but little, has yet been done. Numerous bills and petitions have been read and presented, but no measures of .importance have yet claimed their attention. We shall soon however be moving under a full head of steam; until then, I remain yours. The Strasburg: Mall. luncisteb, Jan. 18,1851 Mr. Editor.—l was astonished to notice in the Lancaster Gazette , of this day, a statement that a letter mailed in Strasburg did not- reach Pbila. for nearly four days, and the Editor himself declaring t l i d “ no reason to doub t‘’ the allegation. ‘ 1 beg leave to correct the Editor of the Gazette, and his inferred correspondent who has knowingly published a m isstatement. Every body in this City knows that the Strasburg mail arrives here every morning at 9 .o'clock, when the roads are at all passable—that said mail is forwarded to Phila. by the cars arriving at 9$ o'clock' from Harrisburg;— but, iu case the Strasburg mail does not arrive here precisely at 9 o'clock, on account of the present bad roads, there may be an uavoidable detention of half hour. In that case the Strasburg mail is forwarded by tha»afternoon.mail cars to Philadelphia, so that the letters from Strasburg must and do reach Phil adelphia the same day—notwithstanding the Editor of the Gazette’s doubts to the contrary. It is a sub ject of congratulation with our fellow citizens that there are now daily two horse coaches travelling between Strasburg and Lancaster, and Manheim and Lancaster,'Carrying the Daily Mails which reach Philadelphia every evening, (Sundays excepted,) and I, hope the Lancaster Gazette will no longer remain in doubt, at the regular Stage Office of Emanuel Shober; where he can take a jaunt daily and dispel all his doubts.

Farmers 9 mutual Insurance Com pany Report. AT the annual meeting of the members of the Farmers’ Mutual Insurance Company, held at the house of John Mecartney, on Saturday, the 28th day of December, A. D. 1860, the Directors of the.said Company submitted the following re port, viz: The year that is just closing has been distinguish ed by a great number of accidents by flood and fire, occasioning the loss and destruction of a large amount of property; from this genera! calamity the Farmers’ Mutual Insurance Company has not been exempted, but has suffered more losses in this one year than during the six previous years of its ex istence. These trials, however, have only served to devclope the utility and efficiency of the Institu tion. Designed for the benevolent purpose of al leviating the sufferings of the unfortunate, it isgrat ifying to witness the soothing and consolatory effect of its operation. Those who, without a mo ment’s warning, have been compelled to witness the destruction of their property, and in several instances their only dwelling, by the devouring element of fire, have been consoled by the reflec t?on that they stood in connection with an institution whose principal object is, to extend aid and relief to that class of sufferers-; they have felt, too, that as members of the company, they might claim’this as their right, without being reduced to the neces sity of supplicating therefor, and receiving it as a charity. Thus promptly aided, in a way by no meanß revolting to their feelings, or effecting their, inde pendence, they have been encouraged to com mence, and enabled to complete new buildings to protect themselves and their families from the in clemency of the approaching winter. The loss' which at first fell severely on some half a dozen of individuals, has been shared and divided amongst upwards of a thousand, each bearing in proportion to his ability to sustain it, and, being thus divided haß rendered almost imperceptible, demonstrating the utility and practical efficiency of the company, in a manner truly gratifying to every one whose heart is touched with sympathy for the distress of his fellow beings. The measures adopted by the Directors, to raise the means of renumerating losses sustained by fire, have been responded to with commendable alac rity* by most of the members of the company, who seemed to be actuated by the princ : ples of the divine precept, which require us to “do unto others as we wish others to do unto us;” and the Direc tors have thus been enabled, not only promptly to pay the money when due, but, in some instances, to advance considerable sums to the sufferers be fore the expiration of the time allowed by the’ by laws of the company for making payment. It is true that of the tax assessed, a considerable amount remains unpaid, but it is presumed that this delin quency has been occasioned principally by a want of convenient opportunity for making payments, and perhaps, in some capes, from-a want of timely information in regard to it. In addition to this, two fires have occurred sincH the last tax was laid but the amount to be paid by the company, in conse quence thereof, being comparatively small, the Di rectors have concluded not to levy a tax for that alone, and have authorized the Treasurer to bor row the. sum of six hundred dollars; until such time a* the necessities of the company may require a larger amount. H During the past year the capital of the company has been gradully increased, by the accession of new members, but that increase has been partially counterbalanced by the withdrawal ol a more than usual number of policies. The cause of this can not be satisfactorily accounted for by the Directors as they have mostly occurred amongst members re siding at a distance, with whom the Directors have no direct intercourse, and no opportunity of ascer taining motives. By some, perhaps, the principles of the company may not have been properly under stood. Many of tho withdrawals have been occa sioned by the transfer of property, and the decease of members ; and some of the new entries embrace property for which former policies have become void, by the causes above mentioned. A Collector has been appointed to collect the outstanding taxes, and it is hoped that all the de linquents will pay their arrearages without further delay; and those, who are justly indebted, and re fuse to pay when called upon will 800 n find their account in the hands of those who arc authorized to collect the debt with costs of suit. The whole number of policies that have been is sued since the first organization of the company is lu ; vs f of ?° llc,es have been iancel dl3 Vo?L th -Z\ 52 ’ embracing property to the amount of $165 799 have been cancelled during the present year ; the number of policies issued during J' l '" 'J 6 > binding property to the amount of thus Bhowln £ an actual . increase of $102,500. The amount insured is constantly changing, by nqw entries, withdrawals, additions and alterations, cannot be accurately stated without consider able labor, but from a cafcfnl, though somewhat hasty, examination of the entries, the Directors are satisfied that the sumof two millions three hundred and forty thousand (2,310,000) dollars, approximates very nearly to the exact amount now standing up on the books of the company; forming a basis upon which a tax may be levied, to meet the liabilities of the. company. From this statement it will be perceived that, to raise the amount of one thousand one hundred and seventy (1,170) dollars, would re quire a tax of but half a mill on the dollar, or 50 cents on each thousand dollars. The first lire that occurred during tho present year, took place on the evening of May 20th, consuming the Dwelling House of John J. Por ter,.of Martic twp.
