At the conclusion of his address, he submitted the following preamble, and'resolutions for the consideration of the democ racy present, which were adopted with most singular unanimity, amidst the greatest enthusiasm.; ' 'Whereat, The time is drawing near when the people of Pennsylvania will be called upon, in ac cordance with’a clause of: the Constitution orube State, to elect one of her citizens to fill the office of Governor of the Commonwealth, and i also to elect several citizens to fill the offices of ( Canal Commissioner and the Supreme Bench in her Judi ciary organization: ' ; ..J J ,1..., ■ - To fill these Cffices with; fidelity And Whereat, To». , , . - and trust to the preserve the honor or our State abroad and her * growing prosperity at home—to develope our natural resources and pro tect our labor—to encourage the lawlul enterpr.ses of our citizens, inventive, professional, arustica , mechanical and agricultural—to increase the faci .- tiealor acquiring a liberal education, so ttat , the aspiring son of the poor man, withl ad may become equally learned with minister our laws with justice and equity “fl to us our inalienable rights; it is important that men should be chosen whoi possess, necessary qualification and integrity re the wishes of the people..

Resolved, That we will support energetically, the nominee for the office of Canal Commissioner by the Reading Convention; and also the gentlemen who may be placed in nomination by the s>tate Judiciary Convention to be held at Harrisburg m June next, for the Supreme Bench of our Judiciary organization; among whom we would be: pleased to see our much ’ esteemed and respected fellow citizen,'the Hon.ELLIS LEWIS; possessing as he does, that rare combination of brilliant talents — pre-emfnent legal attainments—a profound philoso phical mind-great and qualities of heartland uniform urbanity of manners iu his intercoursej.with his feilow-men.

As his fel low citizens, we feel proud to claim him as our own; as his neighbors we know how to appreciate his-rare worth; as his friends, personal and political, we are willing to stand by him, and “never surrender while a shot lay in the locker.” > ; j Resolved, That we endorse the sentiment of our distinguished fellow citizen? the Hon.

' ! Resolved, That as Democrats, we repudiate the party who called ,Gjjn. Taylor “a cut throat and a robber, ” when he was fighting the* battles of our country; and who subsequently discovered: his availability for the Presidency—we repudiate the party who endorsed the treason of-ToMiCoRWiN, who declared in the Senate Chamber of the Nation, he “ hoped the Mexicans would welcome our soldiers with bloody hands'fio hospitable graves”— we re pudiate the party Who in 1828, invoked “war\pes tilence and famine ,” upon that people who would consent to elevate Andrew Jackson to the Presi dential Chair of thejUnion. We repudiate the party who, in 1828 called it man-worship to erect Hick ory Poles; but .who, in 1840, could build log-cabins and drink hard cider, and whose only [declared principles \yot%“ Tippecanoe and Tyler too.” We repudiate the party who ran Gen. Taylor: as a pro-slavery man in-the South, and as a proviso man in the North. We repudiate the party- that has fostered W.ilmotism, Niggerism, Galphinism and Native Americanism! And we also repudiate the dictatorial spirit of treating the wishes of the people, both at Elections and in Conventions, as it they had not taken place, or been expressed | and we pledge ourselves not to submit to any usurpation of rights belonging to us as individual members of the body politic ; and that henceforth, we will do our own thinking and our own voting, and? there shall be none to make us afraid ! are the people’s rights—these we’ll;maintain ; Unawed by influence, and unbribed by gain.- , Mr. Cline, then made some pertinentj remarks,, complimentary to Col.

The Journeyman Carpenters of this City were on a strike last week for higher wages, &c., and paraded on Wednesday to the number of about sixty, accompanied by music and banners with appropriate mottos. We have not learned the result of their demonstration —but presume the master workmen have made some arrangement by which a satisfactory of the difficulty has-been effected. \ v 017” We have been' favored, 'by the publisher, with a neat little pamphlet df 24 pages,-entitled a “Journal of the Sufferings and Hardships of Capt. Parker H. French’s Overland 'Expedition to Cali’ *ornia, which left New York City, May 13,1850, and arrived at San Francisco, Dec. 14.” The Journal was written by Mr. William Miles, one of the ill-fated expedition. and transcribed and pre pared for the press by his brother, Mr. Wesley Miles, of Carlisle, Pa., the whole forming a highly graphic and interesting description of the route and the Ecenes through which they passed. .

We regret to inform our readers that the sub stantial structure, known as the Railroad Bridge across th§ Conestoga, about one and a half miles below this .City, was entirely destroyed by fire on Friday evening last. The fire commenced, we understand, between the double floors near the west' end, having doubtless originated from a coal or from the sparks of the locomotive which passed over ►about 5 o’clock. As the wind was blowing pretty fresh at the time from the west, all efforts to extin guish the fire proved fruitless, and the entire struc ture was soon enveloped in a sheet of flame, so that 1 in less than one hour from the time the fire was discovered, nothing was left remaining but the abut ments which supported the bridge. The bridge was built some seventeen or eighteen years ago, at the time the Railroad was constructed, and, we belief \vas about 1500 feet in length. ' It is an unfortunate circumstance, occurring jjist at this time when the Spring trade had fairly op-, ened, and when an immense amount of business, in travel and transportation, was being done on the road. Travellers, however, will not meet with any serious detention or inconvenience, as ample pro vision lias already been made for their speedy crossing (with their baggage) over the creek—and in about two weeks, it is believed, a temporary structure can be erected over which a continuous and uninterrupted transportation again be had. The Canal Commissioners were here early on Sat urday morning, and at once adopted measures for the speedy re-building of the bridge, and also for the accommodation of the public in the mean time. A large amount of lumber has already been con tracted for aud delivered, and the greatest energy and activity are manifested by all the officials con nected with the, road. Johnston and Bigler. —Wm. F. Johnston, our present worthy Governor, and Col. William Bigljer, of Clearfield, will undoubtedly be the Whig and Doco nominess for Governor next summer. The Locos, with their usual swaggering and boasting, are cxultifig over the prospect that their man will be more than a match for ours in the Gubernatorial race—but that remains to be deeided. It is hot the first time those two gentlemen were pitted against eaeh other. In 1847 Bigler represented Clearfield, Armstrong, &'c. in’the State Senate, the very next year Johnston was returned for the ; same district. As Gov. Johnston proved himself an over-match for the Colonel in their own district, it is probably that he will come off victorious in the State canvass. ID* Will the Examiner, from which we clip the above precious morceau, he candid enough to jtelli its readers the whole truth j by informing them that although Col. BigleH represented the Clearfield district, in-the State Senate, in i 847, he was not a candidate the “ very next year ” when William F. Johnston was elected. Had he been the can didate of the Democratic party, we hazard nothing in asserting that Mr. Johnston would not have been, elected to the Senate, much leas would he low be the Governor of the Commonwealthh. If the Examiner has any doubts on this subject, we pre sume they Will all be dispelled by the action of the people of that Senatorial district and of the State on the second Tuesday of October next. The Anthracite Coal Trade of Schuylkill co., is very much disturbed just now. The miners looked for a considerable reduction in the carrying charge by the Reading Railroad, in accordance with the general policy: of almost all railways. In this they have been disappointed. The rates on that road were put up last year to $ I 70 per ton of of coal for 92 miles; and the reduction-announced for this year is only ten cents. The colliers are much exasperated, and at a Jarge meeting denunci atory of the company for the rates, it was resolved to curtail the shipments fifty per cent., with an in timation of a total suspension this week if a satis factory reduction be not made. What amount of reduction wonld meet their views is not stated; probably $1 25 instead of $1 60 per ton, is about the mark. The Pottsville Journal, of Saturday, says:. The quantity this week by railroad is 28,829 04 tons, against 19,112 tons last week, showing an ■increase of 8,716 14 tons. A few cargoes; have been shipped by canal. There is fair demand at Richmond for single cargoes of coal. ! . It is reported, (though we do 5 not vouch for the truth of it,) that the Forest Improvement Company has effected a sale of coal for the Chagres steam ers of 40,000 tons, to be delivered in New York at $3,80 per ton. The coal is to be shipped by canal. , H7* A correspondent of the Harrisburg Keystone warmly recommends William S. Campbell, Ksq. } of, Cambria_county, (formerly Superintendent of the Portage Railroad,) as a suitable candidate for Canal Commissioner. x Buchanan in tbe Old Dominion.— ln from a friend of ours now residing in .Virginia, da ted the 12th instant, we find the folio wing language in reierence to our great Statesman:—-“lam'settled in the midst of the Democracy of old Virginia, and it gives me much gratification to hear on every side the name of James Buchanan associated with the next Presidency.' -Yempay rely upon the fact that he would be a‘tower of strength to our party if on the ticket in 1852.*’ York Gazette, Amidst the violence, defection, and nullification of th’ejSjates of Vermont, Ohio, (notificjuding New York,), inhere, are two bright and cheering spots in out politiealj heavens oldtu& to'Jennsjdraiia Sad Virginia.

We are glad to see that they- are enlisted in the same cause, and with grasped hands are bearing aloft the same ban ner. We trust, with the aid of the surrounding pa riotic States, they will be invincible. No two States in the Union have as deep a stake in the issue as Pennsylvania and -Virginia. From their locality, they nyrst be converted, in the event of a rupture of the Union, into the great battle fields on which the question of empire will be determined. History has tolrl us how the wide, fertile districts bordering on France and Germany have been for centuries swept by the alternate ravages of friends and foes. Deserted fields, sacked cities, burning towns, ruined inhabitants, violated females, and slaughtered chil dren, have filled the annals of this ill fated region with unutterable wo. What these unhappy dis tricts iave seen and felt, Virginia, Pennsylvania, andMoryland are destined to see and feel with ten fold aggravation, if this glorious Union be broken up and destroyed. They have a right to speak out in this crisis: they have exercised that right in a bold and'manly spirit; and we rejoice that they have done so. They rebuke alike the fanatical madness of abolition, as well as the phrenzied zeal of South Carolina chivalry. These misguided zeal ots of both sections may fume and rage, and resolve to trample on the constitution, and to hazard the peace and prosperity of the country; but they strug gle against fate. These States may say to them, ae Jupiter did in the council of the gods: « Ye strive in vain: if I but.stretch this hand, I heave the gods, the ocean, and the land ; l fix the chain to great Olympus* height, And ‘the vast world hangs trembling in my flight.’* When these States forbid the bans, abolition, and all otier kinds of nullifies, must stand aghaßt, and fall back into their allegiance to the Union. Nor is it to be leared that these States will sanction any very outrageous violations of the constitution, or any acts of unmanly submission. They are high tonedj enlightened, and independent, and are as far from yielding to wrong as from inflicting it. Both are essentially democratic, and both are opposed to constructions of that instrument not warranted by its terms and its principles. We again repeat that we arje rejoiced at this evidence of the strength of the Union. It will give confidence and energy to its friends in the same degree that it confounds and unnerves its adversaries. Those who have invited Virginia to take the standard ol disunion in her mighty hand as leader, may now see how little they Understood her true character, and who hope- less and unpropitious is their cause. We advise them] to desist, to abandon their ’course, and to fol low the lead of the u Old Dominion’’ in the path of peace and harmony, as promptly as they were anxious to do in that ot discord and commotion.— . Her example is one that no real patriot need b'.ush to imitate! The Keystone and the Old Domiuh.n majy they tread for centuries the same road; may they stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of the federal constitution; may they march with locked shields in upholding the Union and the Rights of fhe States! —Washington Union. Senator James, of HUode Island, Defines* his Position. Tlie following card in the Providence Post, of Monllay last, explains the position of the new Sena tor Chas. T. James, just elected from Rhode Island. It will be remembered that he was charged with having declared in favor of the “ leading Whig measures,’' and also with having said he would act with! the Whigs of the United States Senate. His card has the merit of frankness at least: Editor of the Providence Daily Journal: Having seen the letters published in your paper of Friday last, relating to me, I deem it an act of justice to myself, to my friends, and to the public to say: Ist. That I have never on any occasion, norj to any person, said that 1 was a Whig. 2d. On (the contrary, I have always belonged to the Old Democratic party. 3d. lam in favor of a judicious tariff; such an one as wilt effectually protect the labor of the country, by taxing, lightly, the neces* saries of Lite, and heavily the luxuries. If there be one measure of government more Democratic than another, I consider that which, by such means, compels the rich to give employment and support to the poor to be such. 4th. I am in favor of internal improvements by. the General Government —especially on our Southern and Western waters, so|far as the same can be carried out consistently with the Constitution—and which the true interests of|our country demand. These two. measures I consider as the only “leading Whig measures” of the present day. To these my assent and support j are given, not.because of any pledge to that effect, i but because adopted by me many years since on principle. This is all I consider to be embraced in|my note to the Hon. Wi». Sprague, and it was so ! regarded at the time it was written. These measures are, in my estimation, not only Whig, biit Democratic ; lying at the .very foundation of our national prosperity and greatness; especially that of protection of our indnstry. IJT regret exceedingly the necessity which compels trie to appear in the public press in ray own behalf, and was induced to hope I should be left free to exert what little ability and influence I might pos sess for the benefit of our State and Country in accordance with my best judgment, independently of, party dictation; and I still hold the fixed deter mination, without deference to such dictation, to pursue such a line of conduct as in my judgment may best comport with the true interests of our common, country. This much I have said in jus tice to : myself and others; and shall' leave my course in the Senate of the United States to speak for itself when the time may come. CHAS. T. JAMES. Philadelphia, March 17, 1851. Butler County. The Democratic Convention of Butler county met on the 24th ult, and appointed delegates to the State Conventions, with instructions to support Col. William Bigler tor Governor; Hon. Wil liam Beatty, for Canal Commissioner; and Hon. John Bbedtn, and Hon. James Campbell, for the Supreme Bench. The following resolution was unanimously adopted: \ Resolved, That it is due to Pennsylvania, not only oil account- of her unflinching Democry, that tile high and noble stand which she has taken in vindication of the constitution and .laws of the land, and preserving peace and order throughout the country, that she should have the next candi date of the Democracy, for the Presidency of the United States; and that fully impressed with its deep sense of justice towards a people so devoted tp the Union, we ask the nomination for that office, of her distinguished son the Hon. James Buchanan, who haß stood by the interests of the nation, with übtiring zeal—who has never swerved from bis fealty to the great principles .of the Democratic, party, and who.has always proved himself to be in everystation in life, h statesman of the first mag nitude. The Convention also passed resolutions compli mentary to Col. William Bigler, Col. Samuil if?. Black, 'Hon. William Beattt, Hon. John 'Gredin and Hon. James Campbell. ' j CT* Lieut. R. C.

The Examiner of last week contains a correspondence had between fome of our most respectable citizens and Lieut Rogers, from which we learn that on bis return to Lancaster we will be favored with a full and com plete history of his capture, imprisonment, Buffet*- mg*,Stc. ' . We take the following able article from the sGeorgia Banner. The ,inireferring to thfe , letter; that has recently'emanated j from CoL ShK** ( ' in regard to the.compromise measur^'«f^r.

With Jambs Buchanan, of Pennsyl vania, for President, and Howell Cobb, of Georgia, for Vice President, with “ Union—a strict Construc tion of the Constitution , and Non Intervention by Congress on the Slavery Question —as their motto, in scribed upon their banner, the friends of Buchanan and Cobb , might reasonably hope to succeed in the next Presidential canvass. The friends of the Un- ion at the South would rally around their standard, and the Democracy oT the North* and West, who have maintained their integrity, in 'the “ trying cri sis of difficulties” through which ! they <and their country have passed, would look to them as their “ tower of strength” and the Country’s'hope. From tie Pittiburg Chronicle, (a neutral paper.) Pennsylvania and the Presidency. * From innumerable indications in> various influen tial quarters, we infer that the claims of Pennsyl vania to the Presidency are about- being acknow ledged by the-Democratic party in other States.- Whether this feeling arises from a sense of partiality for our giant old Commonwealth, or for Hon. James Buchanan, who is mentioned in connection with her claims, or from a consciousness of necessity, we are not able, at present, to divine. It is suffi cient to know that the position of the Keystone is receiving favorable considerations from those who have the power, to honor her, by the elevation of one of her greatest sons to the first place in the Republic. * . The crippled condition of the Democratic party in the Empire State, has forced the party in other States to calculate upon a national triumph without her aid. New York being given up as hopeless by the Democracy, it is absolutely necessary to secure Pennsylvania, or defeat is certain to overtake them. The Keystone, therefore, being .considered the battle-ground of the next Presidential contest, it is quite natural that the party, in other States, should look to her for a candidate ; particularly when she is able to present one who Btands second to no.man in his party in all the elements necessary to. make a dignified, republican President.; Besides, Mr. Buchanan-has done the country great service, and we all know it. His reputation is broad and general; not confined to localities or States. His party, in every section, from Maine to -Texas, can find in Pennsylvania’s candidate the embodiment of their common creed. In Virginia, whose politicians exercise a most potent influence in the nomination of the Democratic presidential candidates, we observe, that Mr. Bu chanan will have no opposition. The Richmond Enquirer of a recent elate, says: ; “A meeting of the Democratic party in the Leg islature, Convention, &c., met in the Hall of Del egates on Wednesday night, to organize for the ensuing Presidential campaign. The meeting came to no conclusion, but adjourned after appointing a committee to prepare business for another meeting in the ensuing week. j lt The principal speaker on the occasion was Mr. H. A. Wise,member ofthe Convention'from Acco mac. He urged the erection of a platform of principles, embodied in certain resolutions read by him, which concluded by declaring of the Democratic party in this State to accept any Democrat for the Presidential campaign who should be selected by the State of Pennsylvania.” The platform.of principles, alluded to. in this ex tract, has been agreed upon, which is nothing more nor leas than an endorsement of Mr. Buchanan’s political sentiments. So far, therefore, as Pennsyl vania and Virginia go, in the nomination of a can didate, they can be counted upon with certainty for James Buchanan. ' But in other quarters, remote and near,' we see indications that are pregnant with meaning. The Hopkinsville (Ky.) Press, comos to us wjth the name of Buchanan flying at its mast-head, and pronounces him the strongest man in the Democratic party. This is copied by the Lynchburg Republican with commendation. In Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama he is rallying his paHy into unity, and in North Carolina the opposition) to him is very little. New Jersey is said to be enthusiastic for him, and away out in Wisconsin the agitation for him has already commenced. The Daily Wis consin, of a recent'date, contained a long commu nication upon the subject, from which we copy a single extract; it looks as if the Democrats there were in earnest in the vindication of Pennsy. vania’s claims. From this extract, it will be seen hat the importance of carrying Pennsylvania is urged as an additional reason why Mr. Buchanan should be the nominee—it says : “As a Senator, he has justly entitled hiipself to a place in the first rank of orators ; as diplomatist, he is acknowled in all nations as a man of superior genius and tact, as a cabinet officer, his giant intel lect and lofty patriotipm, was a tower of strength to the administration of James K. Polk. jNeed I say more of the man whom the Key-State presents ? His character as a statesman is the nation’s.legacy, as it has been the shield of her institutions. Suffice it to say that Pennsylvania presents him and claims his nomination for her claim’s sake, and I ask, with out any apprehension that a successful .answer can be given, is there a State that has as good a claim for the honor of furnishing the candidate 1 Did she not contribute as much as any other of the old thirteen States in the glorious struggle for’American Independence 7 Has she not been the steadfast and-ardentsupportor of oumational compact under all circumstances 7 Has she ever murmured, rebel led or threatened to rebel against the constitutional mandates of the Federal Constitution? In short, has not her vox populx,.&s well as'her statesmen, proved her emphatically the keystone of the Federal Arch, never swerving, and never attempting to swerve from the true interest of our national Union? And I would ask further: Can any State in this Union say more with the same degree of well-known truth 7 Why then, I continue to ask, should not the young and patriotic Staje of Wisconsin, with a commendable desire to do justice to her hoary headed sister, cast her vote in the National. Con vention for James Buchanan 7 “ Examine this subject, fellow citizens of Wis consin, remember that the great State that now lays claim to the honor of furnishing the Democratic candidate, has never had that honor awarded be fore ; and that no President has ever been elected by the people , without her vote, and that none will ever be likely to succeed without her.” . A Man Hanged In Mistake. The following article which we copy from the Boston Port,-shows the danger of convicting a per son for murder on cirumstansial evidence aloue: It is probable that Hicks, who was executed at Monticello, Mississippi, last spring, for the murder of William Allen, was not guilty of the ; crime. The Coroner’s inquest found that Allen was shot in the head, but the remains have been since ex humed, and examined by physicians, froth whose : report it appears that he was not shot, but was probably killed by a blow, according to Hicks’s confession made to a minister, and published after his. execution.. The confession of .Hicks, with whom Allen had been travelling, was to the effect that on Sunday morning, while he, Hicks, had, left their camp, at Ford’s Cowpens, to examine some houses near by, his wife came running to him, teling him she was afraid she had killed, Allen. Hicks returned to,the camp, and finding that Allen was indeed dead -or nearly so, removed the body about 15.9 rods off, and left him with his clothes beside him. - It appears that after Hicks had gone out, Allen took a large draught of whufitey and then approached Mrs. Hicks with only his shirt* drawers and socks, u with the r design of hugging her, as she said,” and that she threw at him the wagon hammer which she had in herb and poundiDg coffee. It hit him on the head and caused his death. She did not know that Allen’s design was •of the basest kind, but her only intention was to keep him off. On the trial* Hicks’s prevarications tended to strengthen the circumstances against him, but those very prevarications arose from his determination not to implicate his wife. Had he told the truth at first, and called for a medical ex* animation of the deceased, it is highly probable that he would have been acquitted, and the law have been spared the odium ol a judicial murder. But we must say that his wife, in keepiug silent while her innocent husband was executed, failed in the high courage andvirtue which her sex have so often exhibited.

RHODE ISLAND REDEEMED FRPM FEDERAL WHIGGERY! 1 * Ths Election ini Dhole Island, on Wednesday last, resulted gloriosis for the Demo crats. :>They have indee<l-ik>l>ly •hertnafcto peaceand prq|peritygand triumph will.elicit aahout o£ swept thejoard clear, asthafolr lowing summary of the result will show: ' v TheGovemor, Philip Allen,, 600 maj. “ Lieut Governor, VW.

In the Senate, the Democrats have elected 14 members and the Whigs 13—no choice in 4 4is -tricts. 'ln the House, .31 DenQocrats to 25 Whig* are elected, and no choice in six districts. There is no change in the Congressional delega tion—the twb old members being re-elected; Ge<j. S. King (Whig,) in the, Eastern District by about 30 majority, and Benjamin B. Thurston (Dem.) in the Western by about 1,000. Truly, it is a glorious Victory—the'more so be cause it was entirely unexpected. ■ 27* The following article we copy from the Brookville Jeffersonian,, the Democratic paper of Jefferson county, Pa., heretofore, and still, friendly to the nomination oi Gen. Cass. It is but another evidence of the direction public sentiment is taking in reference to the Presidency: The Next President. —Who will be the next President! is beginning to be a question of some* interest io political circles. The Whigs with a unanimity that augurs a hard-iought campaign, have already settled upon Gen. Scott as .their can didate, and the form of. a nomination is all that is now required to place }iim in that relation. Know ing him to be comparatively unacquainted with the affairs of government, : they design keeping his in competency in the background, and relying solely upon Jits military services for success.. Whether the remembrance of heroic exploits will again lead the people astray, is a matter yet to be determined; but it is surmised by many that Gen. Taylor lapped all the cream off that dish of milk. Considerable division exists among the Demo? crats, rendering it*very uncertain who will be our candidate. A few months ago the star of Gen. Cass was in the ascendent; but now, we regret to say, it appears to be on the wane. It cannot be concealed that the States lying upon and contiguous to the Atlantic, which usually control the nomina tion, have deserted hirp in a body,- and that the principal part of his strength now lies in Vermont, Michigan, lowa and Wisconsin. Dickinson, of N. York, Douglass, of Illinois, and Lane, of Indiana, are named by some'who are hostile to old stagers; but unless an emergency shall occur similar to that which brought Mr Polk into the arena, neither of these gentlemen will be selected as our standard bearer in 1852. ■ Judging from present appearances, we have come to the conclusion that’either Houston or Bu chanan will be the nominee of the Democratic Na tional Convention. The former has recently been making some headway iu the South and West; but having little strength in the East and North, it is doubtful whether he can succeed. The latter will undoubtedly receive the support of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Virginia, besides that of enough other States to place his nomination beyond dispute; so we regard.if as a “ fixed fact ” that the Old Keystone will furnish our next Presidential candidate. That he will be elected scarcely admits of a question. t Let it not be supposed by any individual that we are desirous that the foregoing statement and con clusion should prove correct. They who regularly peruse our columns know well that we are partial to Gen. Cass; but we would be unpardonably ob livious to the signs of the times, and unjust to our readers, did we not perceive and proclaim that his chances are daily decreasing. It is gratifying, however, to be assured that in the event ol his fail- ure, a statesman of equal ability will be called upon to carry forward our party banner to battle and to victory. Indiana County. The Democracy of Indiana county, met in the Borough of Indiana, on the 25th nit., and appointed delegates to the State Conventions. The following resolutions, among others, Were unanimously adopted: Resolved , That we have undiminiahed confidence in the great ability, and elevated patriotism of Pennsylvania’s distinguished statesman, Hon.

Extraordinary Suicide.— We announced in our last, the sudden death of William Calendar, of York, Pa.; in the cars, on his return from Harris burg, where he had just taken out a policy of in surance on his life for the- sum of $5,090. We now learn from the York Gazette that he did not die in the cars, having gone to Harrisburg and retured oh horseback, being taken sick with vomb ting and: pulling on his way back. He finally reached home at about 10$ o’clock at night—re. fused to Up down—would hot permit his family to summon medical aid—and died at about 3£ o’clock on Thursday morning, sitting up in a! chair. His stomach was removed and submitted to a variety of chemical tests, each, one ol which resulted in establishing the presence of arsenic. • ‘Frou Texas.— The Exemtionof Capt. French.— l3ates from Galveston to <he 29th/and Rio Grande to the 19th ult., have been received at New Orleans. A letter has been received at Brownsville from Matzatlan, dated February 15th. It states that Capt. Parker French, the notorious swindler, was shot orhanged for highway robbery, on the road between.;Mazatlan and Durango, some account of which we had already received by telegraph. A party ofj Mexicans* arrested him and his eight men at a place called Chavaria, after a' hard fight’of two hours. One of the men escaped. Freuch and the others were taken to Salto, a small military post* and were then executed. The Indians are again at their work of plunder and murder in the Valley of the Rio Grande. The planters along the river, are in the greatest alarm, from the Indians having - killed or wounded a party of herdsmen near the river, between Brownsville and Camp Ringgold. Families are removing to the. Mexican side. Canales ism command on the Mexican side ol the Rio : Grande. The Indians are again at their work of, death in the Rio'Grande Valley, and families on the Ameri can side have removed to the other. 07* A Swindling Operation to a large extent! occurred in this county last week. It seems that a man by the name of David Leaman, who had been engaged in The milling business near New Holland, alter purchasing a large amount of grain and flour on credit, and converting it into cash, suddenly left for *'parte unknown,” leaving his cred itors stand up to the rack, “fodder or no fodder.”— His swindling operations is supposed to amount to some fifteen or twenty thousand dollars. This Mr. Leamah recently purchased a handsome mill prop, erty, for which he promised (like some of our banks do occasionally) to pay on the first day ol the pre sent rajonth j but instead o! “ forking over," he sud denly vamosed for the great West : We hope Mr. L. may be caught and punished for his rascality.— , Saturday fiqprsM. -' * Letter •Gran -Harrisburg.

In therein hare had lhe : .biU xMfttive to the !qf Montour to the county of .Columbia, and aftML ’fall discussion, defeated. It is however! rtreHma bill will be reconrid-' ered. Mr. Buckalew, the Colombia Senator, made an eloquent speech in ■favor of re*annexation, and- Mr. Frailey from Schuylkill, answered him in a most significant amispirited argument, which no doubt saved Montour - from being blotted out of existence. The Judge is certainly a most able, independent and successful Senator. His consti tuents' have great reason to be proud of him. An act providing for the election of judges of the sev eral counties in this Commonwealth, has passed finally. It provides that Judges of the Supreme Court may be voted for on separate pieces of paper. This provision has beenmfideso as to accommodate and facilitate the anticipated desire on the part of the people, to vote for the best men without regard to party considerations. So let the approaching Judicial Convention take care to place good men before the people. None other should ever be offered for this office. A bill to charter the new Bank at Easton, has also been passed finally, and only needs the hand of-Gov. Johnston to become a law. This bank has been' chartered on the ground that the old bank, which last year refiised to answer the interrogatories addressed to them by the Bank Committee, relative to their affairs, would probably soon expire for want of an exrention of their charier. The members in the House from Northampton, do not really desire the old bank to be : re-charfered, though they want, ! if possible, to have a bill for rc-charter, which has i already passed to! a second reading in the House, j pass finally in that body, and have it defeated in i the Senate for political purposes at home; but they will hardly be able to effect this questionable movement. • ' i A bill confirming the sale of the Danville and PottsviUe Railroad, and saving, it issaid some sixty thousand dollars to the Commonwealth, has passed both houses and will become a law. . The House has been occupied the entire week in considering the appropriation bill. Forty-five thous and dollars for the completion of the Western Reservoir, foriy thousand to the company and con tractors of the West Philadelphia Railroad, two hundred, and filty-fone thousand to the North Branch Canal, are the principal amounts authorized to be appropriated by tho House; but the amount for the West Philadelphia Railroad will be reconsidered and stricken out. There is a firm determination on the part of the House to avoid any increase of the public debt, i As ever, M. &C. Letter from Columbia. Correipoudeace of lb* Intelligencer. Columbia, April 5, 1851, Friend Sanderson :—The time is drawing near, yvhen four white citizens of our borough will have to appear before jibe Court of Quarter Sessions in your city, to answer to the charge of (t riot, and disturbers of the peace! ” This charge is a serious one, involving the character and standing of the accused, in society; and if found true, will attach infamy and disgrace to their hitherto “ fair names.” But aside from this, it is an important charge, in volving as it does the principle, as to whether a moral and quiet community of people have not the right to protect themselves from general insult, when every human evidence has been given, of such design ? and whether the perpetrator of the insult, caught in the act flagrante delicto, is not more reprehensible'in the eyes of the law, than the excited and insulted multitude 1 I have not time, to argue the affirmative of these questions this week, nor do I know that I will ar gue the questions at all; but it does appear to me that an affirmative can be applied to both ques tions, authorized; by natural laws; and no human law can contrvaene the principle. A press of engagements, must 'prevent me am plifying upon the subject; and also from porting you up in matters pertaining to Tow Hill. The old Roman adage that “ those whom the Gods mean to destroy they first make mad,*’ ap pears to be verified in the 'sayings and doings of the conductors of the (t Lancasterian.” Like the inmate of the Lunatic asylqm, who in his distem pered imagination converts worthless chippings of tin and .broken bits of glasß into trinkets and gems of inestimable value, decorating therewith the tattered rags which cover hisemaciated body, and the fool’s cap which adorns his crazed head,-and regarding them as. the crown and symbols of royalty— bo they in the perversity; of their disposition, send forth in all their insignificant nothingness, that which has no being at all, save in their own gangrened minds, and would fain make it appear as though they were, in themselves only, the sole embodiment of the Democracy ol Lancaster county, when, in fact, they are but the fag end of it, hanging ,on but by the “ skin of their teeth,” and ready to drop off by reason of the accumulated rottenness with which they are encumbered. According to their idea, the “ rump parliament ” convention which tried to assemble in the Court House, in February last, and the delegates to which were originally elected by some; four hundred voters, is held up as representing the whole democracy of the county — while the regular Democratic Convention of the sth of March last, representing nearly 2000 Democratic voters of the couny, is stigmatized as {t a factious minority.” A convention of two hundred delegates, among whom were to be found some of the oldest and most sterling Democrats in the county, are de nounced as being guilty of “ party rebellion and disorganization,” while the miserable abortion, mustering but forty-six delegates, - '{twelve of whom were from the city,) is tobe regarded as the represen tation of the very quintessence of the Democracy of Lancaster county! That the articles denouncing the proceedings of the Democracy of this city and county are Written for the edification of the party here , is much to be doubted—the writers are, no doubt, aware that “ no man is a prophet in his own country” especially if he be one of the Ro back stamp, aud from their long bow style, I should infer that they are intended to take effect at a dis . tance , /or certain it is, they have none here, at home; for a series of more palpable and unblush ing falsehoods than weekly grace the columns of the “ Lancasterian ” are not to be found, even in ' the pages of t( Baron Munchausen.” But to “ give the Devil his due” I must admit that one of the writers of the ct Lancasterian ” has indeed uttered a truism, but whether unintention ally or not I will not pretend to say. In the last No. it iq asserted that the very first move of Mr. Buchanan’s friends “ to bring .-him out as a candi date in 1852 ” would fi at once set bis own county ■ in a blaze.” You are right there, Mr. writer for i the Lancasterian, only, as usual, a leetle behind the time. Mr. Buchanan has not only been named for the next! Presidency, here and in other counties ( of' this State, but also.in Virginia, North Carolina, r Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Wisconsin and other- Stated of the Union. And if w£ are to take, as signs of the times, the enthusiastic applause which every mention of his name brought forth at the large Democratic meeting, in the Court House, on Saturday night, ithe 29th.)—the fact of Mechanics parading, the streets of this city, bearing a banner inscribed with the following extract from one of his speeches s—" That Country is the most prosperous, where labor commands the greatest reward,”—and, “last tho’ not least” the protest of-many of those twenty-six counties “ against Simon ron’s organ at Harrisburg‘and Reah Frazer’s and Thos.’ H.. Burrowe’s mouth piece, at Lancaster, perverting resolutions which were intended merely as compliments to Gen. Cass and other U. S. Sena tors, who stood by- the compromise, into expres sions of preference for Gen; C. as their next candi date for'the Presidency, then will f/lr. Buchanan’s being named “ not only set his own county,” but hit owii : State, <( in a blaze.” And as 'Pennsylva nia's to be the battle ground in the next Presiden tial campaign,! with her. “ favorite son” as Democ racy’s standard bearer, we are as certain of victory, throughout the Union, at we are that none other than her own! Buchanan, can carry the Keystone State, i % SANSPEUR. 017" The Harrisburg Keystone should not have attached the I resolutions passed by the County Convention of Lebanon last fall, to its string of notices'in favor of Gen.

This question was by, the Homoeopathic Institute, at its Con* ventioh iii 1846 K in Philadelphia, where some 160 meinbere'were present; some of them grew gray in the iqld school practice, and yet it was put down by a unanimous vote. But, hear Hahnemann him selt on the same subject: - ‘•’The employment of mixtures of medicine*,- an association, the inconvenience of which is felt even by persons unconnected with the profession, is not the only motive which should make us reject Alleopathy, seeing that it feels no hesitation in op pressing life, oftentimes irreparably, by (means of a single medicine, for instance calomel. .- It deserves this fate also, in consequence of the other processes by which it exhausts the strength and the humors of the diseased body, by means either of 6food letting, ol .sudoHJicsy hot baths, emetics , and purga tives, orpainful processes, as cauteries , vesicatories, sinapisms , acupuncture moxa , etc., processes which all debilitate beyond belief the vital force, the energy of which combined with tho action of a well selected remedy, can only effect a cure. C. EHRMANN, M. D., Member of the Homoeopathic Institute. Lancaster, April 6,1861. The Election In Leacock* Soudersbu&o, April 5, 1851. Mr,- Editor Tho Lancasterian of this week contains an article exulting over the defeat of Jos. Kellenberger, the settled candidato for Inspector of the Democrats of Leacock township, by John V. Eckert, a Frazer man, and as Mr. Kellenborger is a friend of Mr. Buchanan the Editor claims it as a victory over Mr. B. and his friends. The contest between Kcllenberger and Eckert was on their individual popularity, many democrats only voteitig for Supervisor and School Directors, as there very little excitement about the In spector, and that of a personal character. Had Mr. E. run as a Frazer is on the Colonel’s popularity or that of the Editor of the' Lancastrian, he would have found himself like that Editor on a certain occasion, after jumping out of a back win dow, an outsider. Why did the Editor forget or neglect to mention the election of John L. Idgbtner, a Buchanan man , as one of the Supervisors of Leacock township 7 But that would not answer his purpose, and Would have showed that there was no contest between the friends of Mr? B. and Col. Frazer. The Citizens of Leacock exercise their individual opinion in select ing township officers, and will not permit foreign dictation. They detest the doctrine of treating an election at though it had never taken place , as much as they do the misrepresentations of<the Lancat terian. , L.~^ West Point. —The following appointments have been made to the Military Academy, at WestPoint* from Pennsylvania.
