Earl Township.
' Our Democratic irientls in Earl township are
hereby informed that, inasmuch as the new town
ship of East Earl is not properly organized, it is
considered doubtful whether the Democrats of the
new township would be entitled'to a separate rep
' lesentation in the County Convention—they will,
' - 'therefore, meet, as usual, with their Democratic fel
low citizens of Earl, and unite with them in elect
ing five Delegates to represent the whole township,
as heretofore.
JET The Cabbier will be about on Thursday
morning, making his annual visit to the City sub
scribers and readers ol the Intelligencer. He has
recently mounted his Pegasus, and wishes to carry
his readers into the airy, flights of Poetry, and he |
thinks that if he does not succeed in his endeavors
to please, it will not be because he has not done his
best. But, whether or no. he hopes to receive such
a greeting as the news-boy, all things considered
deserves at their hands. “A. word to the wise is
sufficient.”
JET The pleasures of the Holidats to all our
readers. We wish them all good fare, good fires,
good clothes, and plenty of money, although the love
of the latter article is said, by the good book, to be
the root of all evil.
I, Spasolkb has presented us with a neat little
I volume, Entitled “ Exampla of Goodmu .” It is
| ' printed with large type, on fine paper, very neatly
f boan d, and is specially adapted for juvenile readers,
E the stories all being attractive to the youthful mind.
jI7*A Masonic Supper came off in this city, on

quent Divines of the country, will deliver a Lectpre
the Mechanics’ Institute, in this City, before the

How Stands the Contest 1
Id this State,"so iar 58 delegates have been elect
ed to the next Democratic State Convention. The
ioliowing are instructed, viz:
Senatorial.

Clearfield, Tioga, Potter, &c.,

There are nineteen delegates not instructed, viz:
1 in the Senatorial district of Columbia, Luzerne
and Montour.
1 in
1 in
of Beck 9.
of Franklin & Adams.
4 in the Representative district of Berks. .

2in “ ' Franklin.
1 in “ Adams.
2 in “ Luzerne,
1 in “ Wayne.
2 in “ Lehigh.
1 in “ Indiana.
1 in “ Greene.
Of these nineteen, Mr. Buchanan will get the
vote of 3 in Berks, 3 in Luzerne, 1 in Adams, 1 in
Wayne, 1 in and 1 in Greene—and prob
ably the 2 in Bradford and the 2 in Lehigh. The
remaining 2 in Berks are doubtful.
The only certain votes for Gen. Cass among the
uninstructed delegates are the 1 Senatorial and 2
Representative delegates in Franklin.
The result is, therefore, 37 for Buchanan, 10
for Cass, and G doubtful.
It wilt thus be seen how the canvass is progres
sing, and how little reliance is to be placed in any
statements published in the Keystone* or Lancaste
rian. The sole object of these papers is to misrep
resent the facts of the case, and by so doing deceive
their readers as to the real strength of Mr. Buch
anan in the State. .
Public Sentiment in Pennsyl-
vanla.
_ The following is a list of the Democratic papers
in Pennsylvania, that have expressed a decided
preference for Mr. Buchanan, for the next Presi
dency—many of them having his name floating at
the head of their columns: —
y
Pennsylvanian, Philadelphia.
Register* Norristown.
Gazette, Reading.
Upland Union, Chester.
Gazette, York.
Democratic Union, Harrisburg.
Compiler, Gettysburg.
Valley Spirit, Chambersburg.

Elk county Democrat.

IX7* There are others (amongst the rest three-or
four German papers) whose names we do not now
recollect, making in all over fifty Democratic pa
pers in the State, that have taken bold and decided
ground in favor" of Mr. Buchanan, whilst several
others that might be enumerated, evidently lean
that way.
At least four-filths of all the Democratic papers
n the Commonwealth are urgent in asking Mr.
Buchanan’s nomination at the hands of the Na
tional Convention, being so near a unanimous ex
pression in hisfflvor, that the number in opposition
is scarcely worth enumerating.
07* We caution our Democratic friends through
out the county, against listening to the falsehoods
and misrepresentations of itinerant electioneerers
against Mr. Buchanan, who are doubtless well paid
for performing the dirty work. One of these, whose
proper home is in Philadelphia, is in the
habit, as we are credibly informed of representing
in the country, among other equally false stories,
that the city of Lancaster will go against Mr. B.—
This every body here knows to be untrue, and the
propagator of the falsehoods knows it to be so him
self; but; then, his object is to deceive the unsus
pecting and the unwary as to the miserable weak
ness of the anti-Buchanan faction in this city. In
his efforts to.deceive, we apprehend, he will find
himself mistaken. He places quite too low an es-
timate upon the intelligence of the country Democ
racy, and he will find in due time that his lies will
only “return to inventor.” Our friends
in the country may rest assured that “good and
true” Buchanan men'willbe elected in both wards
of the city.
We have no objection to open and honorable op
position, if Democrats prefer some other man to
Mr. B. for the Presidency; but we despise, from the
bottom of our heart, such conduct as is alluded to
above. Give us a clear field and a fair fight, and
we ask, no favors. In an honorable contest, the
friends of Mr.[Buchanan would carry more than
tour-fifths of the county, and we are not sure but
they 4 will dcrit anyhow, (notwithstanding the false
hoods and misrepresentations circulated by his op
ponents,) if there should be a general attendance at
the Delegate Elections. ' .
Canal Commissioner.
The following gentlemen will be presented to
the next Demobratic State Convention, as candi
dates for the nomination of Canal Commissioner,
John B. Bratton, Esq., of Cumberland.
Maj. John Cummings, of Union.
Col. Gordon F. Mason, of Bradford.
Jacob Heck, Esq;, of Franklin.
Col. Lxvi Tate, of Columbia.
Hon; Timotht Ives, of Potter.
Maj. William Fnr, of Lehigh.
There may be one or two other gentlemen men
tioned in connexion with the office; but, it so, we
do not recollect their names. From such on abun
dance of good material, we think the, Convention
will have no difficulty in making a judicious se
lection.
The Delegate Elections.
We again urge upon the genuine Democracy of
the county, the importance of turning out at the
primary elections on the 10th of January. There
will be a desperate attempt made to smother the
voice of a large majority of the party, and by un
fair means to deprive Mr. Buchanaw of the Lan
caster delegates to the State Convention. To ef
fect this money is to be used—and already it has
been proclaimed, by the leaders in this nefarious bu
siness, that the county shall be carried against Mr.
B, it it be done at a cost ol five, or even ten
thousand dollars! In other words, they place so !
poor an estimate upon the honesty and intelligence
of the Democrats of Lancaster county, as to boast
that they can buy enough of them over with mon
ey to forsake their long and faithful attachment to
Mr. Buchahak, as well as to the principles Jor
which they have so long and so nobly contended.
We call upon our Democratic friends to resent
this base insult. We hope you will • tum out tn
masse to the Delegate Elections, and, by your votes,
teach these political traders and demagogues, that,
although, many of you may fie poor, yet even the
Middletown Bank is not rich enough to buy your
votes. Teach these desperate trimmers, that you
are independent freemen—that you have wills ol
your own, and that you cannot be defrauded, much
less bribed, out of your rights. We are not making
these charges,'(general though they be) at random.
We have certain facts in our possession which can
be adduced, if necessary, to substantiate them all
The disorganizes have a desperate game to play,
and they will resort to desperate means. Let our
Democratic friends be active and vigilant in the
several boroughs and townships, and elect such
delegates as will faithfully reflect the sentiments of
their constituents.

Armstrong County All Right!
The Democracy of this sterling republican coun
ty met at Kittaning on the 9th inst., and appointed
James Donnelly, Esq.. Representatve Delegate, and
Wilson Nott, Esq., of Indiana county. Senatorial
Delegate, to represent that county in the next State
Convention, with unanimous instructions to support
the nomination of the Hon. James Buchanan for
the Presidency.
The following, among other excellent resolutions*
were unanimously passed:
Resolved, That the election of Col. William Big
ler has given Pennsylvania an exalted position
among her sister States, and is the harbinger of
success to Democrats of the Union, in 1852.
Resolved, That whether we consider her exalted
position, her just, but long neglected claims, or the
character of the candidate she offers, Pennsylvania
is entitled to furnish the standard bearer of the
Democratic party in 1852.
Resolved, That we offer to our* sister States the
name of the Hon. James Buchanan for President in
1852, for his eminent ability, his great experience,
his unbending integrity, and his pure principles.
Resolved, That his nomination and election would
give satisfaction to all sections of our country, and
greatly tend to promote good feeling and extinguish
sectional animosities in our happy Union. *
Resolved, That our delegates, appointed to the
Fourth of March Convention, be, and are hereby
instructed, to vote on all occasions, for the Hon.
James Buchanan, as Pennsylvania's first choice for
Piesident, and J. B. Bratton for Canal Commissioner.
The Armstrong Democrat, the organ of the party
in that county, has since raised the name of Mr.
I Buchanan to its mast-head, and accompanies the
■ act with an able editorial article in his favor.
Greene Co. for Buchanan.
The following extract of a letter to the editor,
dated December 23, 1851, gives the gratifying in
telligence that the noble hearted Democracy of
Greene, at their County Meeting on the previous
day, have also declared for Mr. Buchanan :
Dear Sir: —Greene County has held her meet
ing and done nobly for our triend Buchanan.
Shehas appointed John Phelon, Esq., one ol tier
most distinguished and influential Democrats, and
who is an unyielding, determined friend of“ Penn
sylvania’s Favorite Son,” her delegate to the
Fourth of March Convention.”
Washington and Greene form the Senatorial dis
trict—of course another Buchanan man will be
elected, together with two Representative Delegates,
from the former county, of the same stripe.
The people every where are beginning to move
in favor ol Pennsylvania.
Kossuth arrived in Philadelphia on Wednesday
morning last, from New York, and was received
with the greatest enthusiasm. During his stay he
wisited Independence Hall, and addressed an im
mense assemblage of people in Independence Square.
His allusion to the Hall and to the Square—both
of which are sacred spots in the eyes of every true
hearted American—was.appropriate and eloquent.
A public supper.was given him on Friday even
ing. His reception, and the attention paid him
during his stay, must have been particularly grati
fying to the distinguished stranger,
i He remained in Philadelphia until Saturday
morning, when he left in the cars for Baltimore
where he arrived in the afternoon. He was received
there with all the enthusiasm that has greeted him
ever since he landed on ouf shores. He remained
in. Baltimore over Sunday, and departed for Wash
ington city on yesterday morning. '
He has promised to visit Harrisburg, if the nexi
news from Europe does not hasten his departure
from the country.
Washington Letter Writers.
Our cotemporary of the Pittsburg Post , who is a
close observer of men and things, and always wel|
booked up in political matters, speaking of the
Washington correspondents of some o/.'the Phila*
delphiaand Baltimore papers, '
Besides attending to the interests of the Whig
party,'we observe that the Washington letter writ
ers have kindly condescended to attend to the Demo
cratic candidates for the Presidency. They suggest
various good names, but, from their Whig proclivi
ties they are induced to present those who have not
the slightest chance ol a nomination ; but who if
nominated would receive a warm support from the
Democratic party.
■ Politicians may act as they please, but there is
no use in those of either party attempting to dis
guise the fact that James Buchanan is the choice
of the Democracy oi the country; and that he will
be the next President of the United Sta es we have
not a doubt.
His career as a Statesman, and his position as a
citizen, are too well known, and have been too oft
en referred to by us, to need repetition, and as we
feel confident that he is to be our candidate in ’52,
and our President when the votes are counted, we
have no reason to quarrel with the Washington
letter writers, who make Presidents every day on
paper. They may do as they please; but when
the contest comes, they will find that the voice of
the People is omnipotent.
On Friday ntght last, between 12 and 1 o'clock,
a fire broke out in the sth story of Hart’s Building,
corner of Gth and Chesnut. This spacious building
was entirely consumed, and also the Shakespeare
Buildings on the opposite side of 6th street. Sev
eral back buildings in the interior of the square, be
tween Fifth and Sixth streets, were also consumed >
as also all the range of buildings, stores, §c. on tjie
west side of 6th, between Chesnut and Carpenter
streets, together with the Eagle Hotel, and the
magnificent China Hall of James Kerr, on Chesnut
street. Johnston s Law Book store, and Lindsay &
Blackiston's Bookstore, are in ruins. The Chesnut
Street Theatre, and the Court House, were several
times on fire, but were savld by the unparalleled
exertions of the Firemen. • |
Several persons were badly injured, and four jor
five killed, by falling walls, &c.
AUNT MARY’S TALES.—We' have received
from the Publishers, Lindsat & Blakibton, Phil
adelphia, a little volume entitled “dtint Mary'*
Tales for Boysand Girls," by Mrs. Hughs. The
reading matter is well calculated to interest and.
improve the juvenile mind, and the illustrations,
with which the book is embellished, will make it
peculiarly attractive. We know of no better holi
day present for little boys and girls.

I The French Revolution.
Louis Napoleon, it * would seem from the I&te»t
accounts, has triumphed, and the revolution is com-
plete. There was some fighting in the streets of
Paris on the 2d and 3d inst, and some blood was
shed \ but since then every thing has become quiet,
and the President seems stronger-'than ever yth
the masses. The following is his Appeal to the
People, referred to in our last:
“Frenchmen: —The present situation cannot
last much longer. Each day the [situation of the
country becomes, worse- The Assembly, which
ought to be the firmest supporter of order, has be
come a theatre ot plots. The patriotism of three
hundred oJ its members could not arrest its fatal
tendencies. In place of making laws for the gen
eral interest of the people, it was forging arms for
civil war. It attacked the power I hold directly
from the people. It encouraged every evil passioii.
It disturbed the repose of France. I have dissolved
it, and I make the whole people judge between me
andiiL . \ i.
« The Constitution, as you know, had been made
with the object of weakening beforehand the pow
er you entru ted to me. Six millions of votes
weije a striking protest against it, and yet, I have
faithfully observed. Provocations, calumnies, out
rages, found me passive. But now that the lunda*
mental part is no longer respected by those who
incessantly invoke it, and the men who already;
destroyed two Monarchies, wish to tie up my
hands in order to overthrow’the Republic, my duty
is to baffle their perfidious object, and to save the
country by appealing to the solemn judgment of
the only sovereign I recognize in France— the
People.
«I, then, make a loyal appeal to the. entire na
tion, and I say to you, if you wish to continue this
state of disquietude and malaise , that degrade you
anil endangers the future, choose another person in
my place, for I no longer wish for a place which
is powerless for good, but which makes me respon
sible for acts that I cannot hinder 1 , and chains me
to the helm when I see the vessel sinking into the
abyss.
■“lf, on the contrary, you have still confidence in
me, give me the means of accomplishing the grand
mission I hold from you. That mission consists
ini closing the era of Revolution, - in satisfying jhe
legitimate wants of the people, and in protecting
them against subversive passions. It consists, espe
cially to create institutions which survive men,
and which are the foundation on which something
durable is based.
“ Persuaded that the instnbility ol power, that
the preponderance of a single Assembly are the
permanent causes of trouble and discord, I submit
to your suffrages the fundamental basis of a Con
stitution which the Assemblies will develope here
after :
; w 1. A Responsible Chief, named for ten years.
:“2, The Ministers dependent on the Executive
alone.,
“ 3. A Council of State formed of the most dis
tinguished men, preparing the laws and maintain
ing the discussion before the legislative corps. .
« 4. A Legislative discussing and voting
the laws named by universal suffrage, without the
scrtUin dt lisle, which falsifies the election.
I “ 5. A second Assembly formed of all Ihe illus
trious persons of the nation—a preponderating
power, guardian ol the fundamental part, and of
public liberty.
• “ This svstem, created by the First Consul, m 4
the beginning of the present century, has already
given to France repose and prosperity. It guar
antees them still. Such is my profound convic
tion. If you partake in it, declare so by your suf
frages. 11, on the contrary, you prefer a goyern
ment without force, monarchial or republican,
borrowed from some chimerical future, reply in
the negative.
i “ Thus, then, for the first time since 1840, you
will vote with complete knowledge of the fact and
knowing for whom and for what you vote. If I
do not obtain a majority of the votes, I will sum
mon ajiew Assembly, and lay down before it the
mission I have received from you. But if you be
lieve that the cause of which my nameii the sym
bol that is France regenerated by the Revolution
of ‘B9 and organized by the Emperor—is still
yours, proclaim it to be so by ratifying the powers
I demand of you.
j “ Then France and Europe will be preserved
'from anarchy; obstacles will be removed; rivalries
will have disappeared ; for all will respect, in the
will of the people, the decree of Providence.

ADDRESS TO THE ARMY.
In an address to the Army, Bonaparte entreats
:tbem to be proud of their mission, as to them he
looks to save the country. He says “ vote freely
as citizens, but, as soldiers, do not forget that pas
sive obedience to the orders of the chief of the
government, is the vigorous duty of Ihe army. Irom
the general down to the soldiers. Be ready to re
press all attempts against the free exercise ol the
sovereignty of the people.”
He concluded : “ Soldiers, I do not speak to you
of the recollections attached to my name. They
; are engraved in your hearts. We are united by
indissoluble ties. Your, history is mine. There
is between ub in the past a community of glory
and misfortunes. There shall be in the future,, a
community ol sentiments and resolution lor the
repose and grandeur of France.”
THE ARRESTED, &C.
Among those arrested are Generals Changarnier,
Cavaignac. Bedeau, Lamoriciere, and Leffe; Col.
Charras, L. Boze, M, Thiers, Brun, and others. It
is said that Lamoricire afterwards escaped.
Eight journals had been suspended; among them
the Evenement.
The Minister of War has addressed a circular to -
the generals of the army. The soldiers are to vote
for the election of a President within forty-eight
hours after this receipt. “ Yes” or “No,” is simply
to be replied to the following proposition:
“The French people wishes the maintenance of
the authority of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, and
entrusts him with the powers necessary to frame a
Constitution on the basis mentioned in his Procla
mation on the 2d inst.”

Marshal Soult, who died on Wednesday last, at
bis chateau of Soult-Berg, was bom in 1/769, in
as the Emperor Napoleon, tne
of Wellington, George Cuvier, Chateaubriand, and
Walter Scott, and was, consequently, in his 82d
year. With Marshal Soult is extinct the last and
highest illustration of a period so fruitful in great
things and in great souvenire. His long and active
career, which has exceeded that of all his com
panions in arms, has been marked with every suc
cess, and by the two-fold glory given by the works
of war and ol peace. A great citizen,a great cap
tain, a great administrator, a great politician, it
may be said that that the life of the Marshal has
been complete.
This First Lieutenant of the Emperor Napoleon
marched as a private soldier under the standard of
our armies, 67 years ago, belore the fall of ihe old
monarch, and before the breaking out of the
French revolution. He took an active and brilliant
part in the most memorable the rev
olution and the empire. When the gigantic strug
gles had ceased, Marshal Soult came to occupy in
the councils of the country that place which he
no longer filled pn fields of battle. As Minister of
War, his genius as an administrator to
the re-organiration of the army, under tbe critical
circumstances in which the revolution of July had
placed France. *
As President of the Council of Ministers, at dif-
ferent times, he was one of the firmest, most intel
ligent, and most devoted supporters of that liberal
and constitutional throne to which France owed
eighteen years of repose, of happiness, of order, and
of true liberty. The indefatigable co-operation
which the wise policy of King Louis Phillippe
found in the talents and activity of the old warrior,
will remain an eternal honor both to one and the
other. In September, 1847, the illustrious Marsh
al felt that the hour of repose had- arrived. He
wrote a very affecting letter, to King Louis Phil
lippe, begging him to accept his resignation of the
functions of President of the Council in which he
was replaced by M. Guizot. In resigning himself
to this painful separation, the King Wished togive
the Marshal a striking testimony of his regret, and
of. his gratitude, in re-establishing tor him the an
cient dignity of Marshal General.
The 11. S. Senate.
The Washington correspondent of tbe Newark
(N. J.) Eagle, thus speaks of the Senate as at pres
ent constituted: !
There are some very intellectual looking men in
the Senate, but, viewed as a body, I fully agree
with Horace Greely that it has “deteriorated.” I
miss Wbight, Buchanan, Calhoun, Dallas, Al
len, Wxbbtxr, Clat, Crittenden, Benton,
Hatnx, and many others who were shining lights
and brilliant ornaments. Perhaps there are those
now in the Senate who will like choice wine, im
prove by time, —whom circumstances have not
yet brought out. .The names I have mentioned
have, for the most part, been familiar to me from
my earliest years, and it may be that association
has more to do with it than any thing else, as those
who now occupy the prominent places are com
paratively new in their “high estate; 1 ’ but be this
as it may, I cannot avoid the conclusion that in in
tellectual strength and moral power, the Senate is
not as it used to be.
Burning or tUc Capltol at Wash

CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY; DESTROYED.
Wasbixotov, Dec.-24.—TbU niorning,- about
day-bfeak, tbe citywas.starlled byanalannpf.fi re, '
and the greatest excitement was created when it
was ascertained that the fcapitol jwaron fire.
Hie fire commenced in the Library, and before
it;was discovered, bad made such progress that it
was feared the entire edifice would be destroyed.—
The weather being intensely cold, arid water very
scarce, the fire companies; although exerting them
selves to the utmost, could do but little towards
checking the conflagration. The fire engines were
found to be perfectly useless, aridi resort had to be
hail to buckets. .= a I
The Speaker and members of the House, and
many others, were on hand, laboring manfully for
the preservation of the splendid building. As the
danger of its being altogether destroyed seemed
great, many persons began to ,remove valuables,
works of art, &c. The large national historical
pictures by Trumbull and others, in the Rotunda,
were removed to a place ot safety.
At the same time, when the library seemed
doomed to destruction without fepy chance of being
saved, efforts were employed to* confine the flames
to. that apartment. The large] amiount of wood
work; the books and manuscripts, all combined to
spread the fire through the spacious [room, and but
few of the books were saved.S | |
[second despatch.]
Washingtos, Dec. 24, 12 —The fife at the
Capitol is subdued. The Library and Document
Room above it are completely burnt out. Fully
three quarters of the Library [was 1 consumed, in
cluding the most valuable portion. Many rare
works can never be • There was no ser
ious damage except by waterj to any part of the
Capitol beyond the Library, i \
The fire was discovered about sunrise, by-a
watchman. Sometime elapsed before a general
alarm was given, the watchmap! endeavoring to ex
tinguish it with buckets. Theije was an hour or
two delay in getting tbe engines to work, as they
had been engaged the latter part of the night at
another fire, which destroyed Eakers Franklin Inn,
corner of Eighth and D streets : Besides this their
hose'was frozen.
The fire is supposed to haVe caught from the
flues connecting with, the furnaces on .the main
basement of the Capitol. All ;he fire companies of
Washington and one or more, from Alexandria,
were on hand rendering good i ervice.
President Fillmore, the Mayor of; the city, Speak

gress, were early on the ground and very active
[thidd DESPATCH/}
Washington, Dec, 24, 9 3?. iVl.—I have just
learned that in the Law. Library there 'were 8,000
volumes saved, they being in a separate room. It
is estimated that about 10,000 other volumes were
shved when the first broke out. It is conjectured
that.about 40.000 volumes of the most valuable
works in the country were destroyed.
Among other property destroyed, was the mar
ble busts of Washington; Jefferson, Lafayette, Tay
lor, and other distinguished men in the history ot
our country, together.with the portraits of the vari
ous ex-Presidents. and several old and valuable
paintings. The immense collections of coins, me
dals and curiosities, were all destroyed.
It is estimated that the valde of.the books which
can be re-placed, will reach $250,000. The dam
age to the Capitol is about $lO,OOO. The heavy
brick portico walls prevented the further progress
of the flames, alter destroying all within its bounds.
The roof of the Library fell The walls re

Navy Yard, were on duty all day, and did good
service.*
Tlie Fire at the Capitol—lts Origin
Washingtox, Dec. 2G. —The origin of the fire at
the Capitol has been ascertained beyond a doubt.
Oti the removal of the rubbish last evening, one
of the timbers of an alcove entering the wall on the
east side of the Library, exactly where the fire was
first discovered, was found to extend into a defective
flue, leading, from the Cominitlee room, where the
wood was kept.
This timber was mostly consumed, while others
in other parts of the wall were but slightly burned.
The chimney connecting with this flue is also
ascertained to have been on fire, and is considered
satisfactory proof of the cause.
British Blockade of Cnuz.—The Wash
ington Telegraph, tries to explain why five English
vessels, of war have appeared off Vera Cruz. We
give it for what it is worth. Byithe late treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo, the United States government
bound itself to pay Mexico for California and New
Mexico $15,000,000 —$8,000,000 to be paid on
the ratification of the treaty, and The balance, with
interest, in four annual instalments. Three instal
ments have been paid. The fourth and last is pay-*
able on the 3] st of May next. By the treaty the
money is payable in the city of Mexico, and in the
gold or silver coin of Mexico. On his, entrance
into the State Department, Mr; Webster gave a
contract to the Barings & Co.; British Bankers of
London, to pay the indemnity. .Our readers doubt
less remember the recent demand made by Mr.
Doyle, the British Charge in Mexico, for immedi.
ate payment of the Mexican bonds, accompanied
by' a threat of blockade. The Baring's &Co , have
bought up these bonds at between twenty and thir
ty cents in the dollar; and" the object of Mr. Doyle's
threat, and of the visit of these five English ships of
war, is to force Mexico to accept from the Barings
& Co., their Mexican bond, in lieu of the gold and
silver due by the United States, and which they are
employed to pay. The amount due by the United
States to Mexito on the 31st of May next, is
$3,720,000. That amount of bonds cost the Ba
ht'xgs from $744,000 to $1,110,000. If backed
by five British ships of war, they can force Mexico
to accept the bonds in lieu of the money, and to
give a receipt for the indemnity, and they make a
profit by the speculation of from $2,604,000 to
$2,976,000!
Mn. Buchanan. —On our firsj page will be found
ah extract from the so-called “low wages” speech
of Mr. Buchanan, made in the Senate of the United
States, in defence of the Independent Treasury bill
—a speech replete with sound [argument and elo
quent illustrations, that awed into silence the ablest
champions of whig opposition to-that most impor
tant of all the acts of a Democratic national policy,
an act that has done more to insure, stability and
prosperity in manufactures, and trade
generally, than all'the tariff bills that have been en
acted since the orgauization of this government,and
with that measure honestly and faithfully carried
out, business will be comparatively safe under any
tariff, but precarious an<f uncertain without it, even
under the revenue tariff of 1846. The false and
malignant slanders aimed at Mr. Buchanan stand
in naked deformity before the world, from the read
ing of the speech of Mr. Clay, who labored to show
that the Treasury system would curtail business,-
reduce wages, prices, &c., and the unanswerable
refutation made by Mr. Buchanan, who showed
that the very reverse would be the result. The
truth of his postions have been : practically demon
strated. Every honest man who reads the-extract
we publish, will condemn the contemptible slan
derers of a statesman who has given an exalted
character to Pennsylvania and'to the Union. The
attacks on Mr. Buchanan are aimed at the leading,
measures of Democracy, and will be met and re
futed by every Democrat. —Upland Union.

To THE CITIZKM OF IaKCiSTER': - j
By order of the Board of Directors [of the Com
mon Schools of, the City of Lancaster, the follow
ing anhual statement is presented : i
Orrthe'4th inst., (December; 1851,) there were
2$ Common Schoob in operation in the city, taught
by 38 TVddioa, with 2oo9pvpUt on their rolls.
,Qf these I&are of,tbs. Primary grade with J 6
Teachers and 1101, : pupils. To this grade is to be
added one African School with one Teacher and 38
pupils. Eight are secondary with 8 Teachers and
432 pupils: two are High with 6 Teachers and ISB
pupils: two are Higki Schools, yiz: one male school
with 4 Teachers and 150 pupils on the roll, and
one female school with 3-Teachers and 100 pupils.
If to the above number on the rolls at the present
time, were added the names of all who enjoyed the
benefits of the schools during the year, grand
total would be at least twenty-three hundred, or a
lull sixth part of our entire population, after making
a liberal allowance for the growth of the city to
this date.
Upoo closely examining into the statistics of the
schools in the item of numbers, the tow average of
attendance by the popils is still the feature in their
condition most complained of by Teachers, and
beyond all doubt more detrimental to the pupils
than any other.
In the primary schools not less than 20 per cent.,
in the secondary not less than 16 per cent., and in
the high schools not less than 14 per cent, of the
pupils are habitually absent.
Until this evil is remedied by parents , whose
power is alone equal to the task, the schools cannot
possibly produce their full measure of benefit.
During the year no new schools have been estab
lished, except the Female Night School, this last
named institution is in successful operation, and
with the male night school, may now be pronounced
a permanent and mosUgratifying department of
our educational system.
The branches of study in all the schools are
nearly the same as last year, viz:
In the Primary Schools , Spelling, Reading, Writ
ing, Tables, and the rudiments of Arithmetic and
Geography.
In the Seco)idary Schools , same studies as in the
primary continued, with English Grammar, His
tory of the United States, Composition, the whole
of common Arithmetic aiul the commencement of
Algebra.
Ln the High Schools, Geography, Grammar and
Arithmetic are revised, careful instruction is given
in Composition, Declamation, General History,
Algebra, Geometry, and the higher mathematics,
Book-Keeping and Surveying ; Latin, Greek, Ger
man and French are taught; and a regular course
.of instruction is given by means of familiar lec
tures and proper apparatus in Astronomy, Geology,;
Chemistry, Natural Philosophy and Physiology.
In the night schools the studies embrace every
branch from Orthography to Book-Keeping and
Surveying, according to the wants and desires of
the pupils.
The expenses of all the schools for the present
year are estimated at, and will not exceed $lO,-
400, including interest of the permanent debt,
which is $lO,OOO. »
The cost to the city of the school lots, houses
and furniture is estimated at $lB,OOO, the interest
on which, at six per cent., being added to the above
sum of $10,400, makes the gross annual cost of
the schools for this year $11,400.
The income of the Board during this year will
be $10,531,17 ; of which $1,200,98 was received,
from the State and the balance is derived from
taxation.
Deducting the night school pupils, the number
on of all the day schools at the commence
ment of the present month was seventeen hundred
and-filty-nine, which is supposed to be about the
average for the year. The average cost of instruct
ing each of these day school pupils for one year,
including interest on school lots and houses, is $6,04.
Excluding interest on lots, &c., it is $5,4 s£, or eight
cents less than last year.
‘ The average cost per pupil in the primary
schools for the year is $3,30, or ten cents less than
last year. In the secondary $6,75, or two and one.
fourth cents less than last year; and in the high
school $14,25, or the same as last year.
' Of the two hundred and - fifty pupils on the rolls
of the night schools, the average cost per pupil for
six months'is $3,64; of this number about 150
are in regular attendance at an average cost of
$6,00 per pupil.
This decrease of the cost of instruction, in nearly
all the schools, i 9 owing to the fact that the number
, of pupils have increased during the year, without
any corresponding’ increase in the number ol
Schools or Teachers. But the number of pupils is
now* so large as imperatively to demand the estab
lishment of Additional schools next year.
GEO. M. STEINMAN, Pres't.
J. Zimmehmax, Sec'y.
Lancaster, December 27, 1851.
lE7“The able editor of the Pittsburg Post , aftvr
enumerating several of the important duties devolv
ing upon Congress, at its present session, thus
concludes:—Another question which, we have no
doubt, will engage much of the attention of mem
bers of both parties—alt/iough it is an outside one
—will be the making of a Presidential candidate.
So far as the Democracy are concerned, we believe
that to be a question that will be easily settled.
They have a host of good men before them, either
of whom would be satisfactory to the party, but
we feel confident that all will agree that our own
favorite will be pre-eminently so. Buchanan is
the choice of Pennsylvania, beyond all doubt; and
well authenticated information from every other
part of the Union, informs us that there is no doubt
ot his nomination by the National Convention. —
That it wJll be so we have not a doubt, and that
the Democratic representation, from all parts of the
Union, are convinced of this fact and satisfied with
it, is equally certain. It is now admitted by the
Democracy, in every part of the Union, that Penn
sylvania has the preference, and will have the can
didate, —and Buchanan is the man. He stande pre
eminent as the favorite of the party, and we feel
certain that our friends in Congress will at once
acquiesce in the propriety of his nomination.
From th« Wamw (111.) Commercial Journal.
Among those who are most prominent before the
country for the Presidency, is the Hon. James Bu
chanan of Pennsylvania, who for so many, years
represented that State in the United States Senate,
with so'much honor to himself and the state. Mr.
Buchanan is decidedly one of the most distinguish
ed statesmen of the day, and the citizens of his na
tive state may well be proud of him. He deserves
to be called not only “ Pennsylvania’s favorite son.”
but the nation's favorite son. As secretary of state
during the administrtion of the lamented Polk, he
gave evidence in the state papers which emanated
from him, of his gigantic intellect and mighty mind.
He is a statesman, a profound scholar, a warm and
devoted democrat, and his nomination would be
hailed with great pleasure by his friends in the west
and south, to say nothing of Pennsylvania and the
rest of the northern as well as eastern states.
iJ3r- The State Legislature will assemble at Har
risburg on Monday next. The inauguration of Gov.
Bigler will take place on Tuesday the 20th of
January. Great preparations are making for this
latter event, and quite a number of Volunteer Com
panies, from Philadelphia and elsewhere, have sig
ified their intention to be present
