FOR PRESIDENT
JAMES IiMUN,
(Sidg'ect to the decision of the National Convention.)

and should be extremely obliged to our subscribers
and advertising customers if they would callat the
office and settle up their accounts. Those residing
out of the City, can remit by snail at our risk.
We sincerely hope this notice will be attended
to. _lf we did not need money, we would not ask
Democratir Election to nominate
Candidates for City officers.
At an election held at the ,C o ourt House, in the
City of Lancaster, agreeably to a notice of the
Democratic Executive Committees, on Thursday
the 29th of January, 1852, for the purpose of nom
inating candidates for Mayor, Assessor and Consta

The Election To-Day.
We hope the Democrats of the City will be at
the polls to-day, and deposite their votes for the
regularly nominated candidates of the party. This
is the only sure course to pursue in order to be
successful in our contests, and the only one for
every Democrat to take who wishes to be consid
ered a consistent member of the party. All of our
candidates, from Mayor down, have been fairly and
regularly placed upon the ticket, and although
there may be some disappointments, still, as good
Democrats, all should bow to the will of the ma
jority, and go in heart and hand to sustain the
nominees•.
The candidates uf . am the ticket are all worthy
and competent men. Their success will be the tri
umph of the party—their defeat would be its defeat.
The Democracy of the city, therefore, owe it to
themselves, to their party principles, to the candi
dates who have been regularly selected to run upon
their ticket, to turn out in their strength to-day,
and give a "long pull, a strong pull, and a pull al
together," for the whole ticket, and nothing but
the ticket, from top to bottom.
The following is the regularly settled Democrat
ic ticket. Let every Democrat see to it that he is
not imposed upon by having a different one placed
in his hands

Blackwood's Magazine.
The Americn edition of Blaciswood's Edinburg
Magazine, for January, is an able and interesting
number. The ascent of Mont Blanc is a thrilling
narrative of a most perilous adventure, and the
writer has thrown around it grbst interest by his
graphic description. There are several other very
able articles in this number, all Of which are well
calculated to sustain the already high reputation

The 15 Milo Pasionaria. '
This highly interesting painting is now on exhi
bition at the Mechanics' Institute. It is undoubt
edly the best thing of . the kind that hits ever been
in , this City, and we advise all our citizens to go
and see it, as they will receive the full worth of
their money: •
The following nattering notice is (ram the Phil
adelphia Inquirer of the 26th ultimo.
A series of five Panoramas, illustrating.-life on
the ocean, in the mines and cities of California, and
among the Indians of the Rocky mountains, has
recently been painted for Messrs. Farrand, French
& McDonnell, of this city. Among the . artists en
gaged upon this great work , were Minard Lewis,
of Cincinnati, James Hamilton, the celebrated ma
rine painter of this city, Thomas G. Glesaing and
others. We do but echo the unanimous opinion
of all who were present at a private exhibition
given a few evenings since, when we, say that for
artistic merit, delightful impression and powerful
effect, it is unegallerl by anything of the kind ever
witnessed in our city. From the opening to the
closing scene, the artists have admirably sustained
the highest perfection of art. The various subjects
glow upon the canvass with life and animation. No
stiffness or disproportion mars the effect of the fig
ures, but every object is portrayed with a grace
and elegance peculiar to this painting. But ot all
the scenes in this brilliant specimen of American
artistic skill (and there are those to gratify any
taste,) we were most moved by the sad and simple
incident of a burial on the prairie. The lifeless
form about to be conveyed to its narrow cell by
the rugged and sunburnt sons of the prairie—the
sister of the deceased reclining upon the arm ot
her husband—the solemn air of the group around
—the deepening twilight—the venerable air of the
eldest of the party, who has been chosen to read
the funeral service, his silver locks waving in the
fitful breeze—all combine to furnish a " tableaux "
of absorbing interest. Passing the Rocky Moun
tains and snow-capped summits of the mighty
Siera Nevada, rivalling the Alps in grandeur and
beauty, we view the glorious landscapes in Califor
nia, the mines, the adventurers, the strange and
busy crowd of men actuated by a thirst for gold.—
The beiutiful cities, (San Francisco, Havana and
New York, pre-eminent among them all)—the
calm repose of moonlight scenery—the action with
pirates, with their bloody deeds and flags of death's
head and cross bones; the fearful grandeur of a
ship on fire, the enchantment of the illuminated sea
scene, and the beautiful Bay of St. Suan del Sud,
interest, alarm and delight us until we land on the
Isthmus of Nicaragua. Nothing can be conceived
more gorgeous than the pomp and , luxuriance of
'tropical foliage witnessed in the journey from del
'Sud to Greytown. Sailing homeward, the voyager
visits Havana gazes upon the scene of the Ameri
can massacre, and finally arrives at New York
during the landing of Kossuth. But the voyage
has not been made without adventures, for off
Cape Hatteras we are involved in one of those ter
rific tempests peculiar to that 'portion of our coast.
The grandly rolling waves—the blue and arrowy
lightning—the deluges of rain—the Whistling wind
--the deepening roar or sudden crash of thunder—
form a scene which is as sublime as terrific. For
fearful fidelity to nature, this exciting view can
hardly. be surpassed. The " mirror" will soon be
opened in' this city.
The Amalgamation
The Whigs—that is the "Woolly Head' portion
of the Whig party—and a few professing Democrats,
met, it is said, on Friday night, at the office of the
"Independent Whig," or some other place, and set
tled an amalgamation ticket, composed of part
Whigs and part Democrats, for the purpose doubt
less, of creating a diversion in favor of the Whig
candidate for Mayor. We presume the names of
the Democratic candidates were }laced upon the
ticket without their knowledge or consent, as we
cannot for a moment suppose that any of them
would willingly be found in such company. It is
a bold attempt on the part of certain discontented
spirits to sell the Democratic party to the Whigs,
and convert this ancient Democratic city into a
strong hold of Whiggery. But, we are satisfied
these men will find themselves egregiously mistaken
in their calculations. The sterling Democracy of
Lancaster cannot be bought and soldat pleasure by
any man or set of men, and the result of the elec
tion to-day. we think, will satisfy all that our good
old city will remain, where she has always been,
under Democratic rule.
We advise our Democratic friends, however, to
keep a sharp look-out, so that none may be deceived
with this amalgamation ticket. Be on the ground
early, and be sure that the genuine Democratic
ticket, with FREDERICK HAMBRIGHT at the head
for Mayor, is placed in the hands of all our voters.
Recollect, that "an ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure," and that, when we have a tricky
enemy to 'deal with, we must be active and
vigilant if we would b successful
To the Editor of the I,elligencer.
Lyn. SAFDERSON:.-4 see that my name has been
placed as a candidate for High Constable oh the
Amalgamation ticket, settled by a few renegade
DeMocrats and Wooly Headed Whigs—l wish it
to be known that this was done without my knowl
edge or consent. Though defeated in the regular
pominati. , n, I am still a Democrat, and will not
allow myself or my name to be made tr tool of by
any clique, for the purpose of defeating the party
to, which I belong. SAMUEL HUBER.

That " Sinking Fund:,
The Sinking Fund, which Governor Johnston
- prated so loudly about, during his electioneering
tour over the State, has been in practical operation
during the last year of his administratiOn, judging
from the condition of the Treasury at the incoming
of the- new administration. It appears , that the
funds were sunk so low in the Treasury box, that
they were no longer comeatable, and the first law
Governor Bigler, was called upon to sign was a
bill authorizing the State Treasbrer to borrow
$300,000 to meet the interest falling due and pay
able on yesterday! He was inaugurated on the
20th ult., and the very ?text day he was under the
necssity of signing the bill, or else permit the cred
it of our good old Commonwealth to be blasted.
And this is the effect of Johnston's boasted Sinking
Fund! Let the tax-payers of Pennsylvania re
member this, and see what a ridiculous attempt
was made by the Whig Governor to gull and de
ceive them 7 as to the real condition of things. Let
all our -Democratic friends remember it too, for in
a short time we may expect the veritable Whig
organs will point to this loan and shout lustily at
the " extravagance " of the Democracy.
Verily, the " Sinking Fund " was an arrant hum
bug, and, the Whig administration a deceit, from
both of which Providence has given the people of
Pennsylvania a safe deliverance.
Tennessee for Buchanan
The State Convention met at Nashville on the
Bth of January and appointed Delegates to the Na
tional Convention. They are not instructed, but
we have it frbm the most reliable sources that a
large majority are the decided personal and politi
cal friends of Mr. BITCHAIRIAN, and will support his
nomination from first to last—in doing which they
are but carrying out the wishes of the State Con
vention which appointed them, as also the Democ
racy of the State at large.
ID" We are also informed, from undoubted au
thority, that the Delegates from the State of Miss
issippi to the Baltimore Convention are likewise
the decided friends of Mr. BUCHANAN, and will sup
port his nomination.
Susquehanna County
The Democratic Convention of Susquehanna co.
met last week and appointed a representative dele-
gate to the State Convention, with instructions to
support the nomination of Hon. Jassks Puceasratr
for the Presidency. The following was the vote
in the Convention—

ously appointed.
The above are represented as being excellent
appointments. Mr. BAKER, who is a citizen of this
county, we know intimately, and we are sure that
we express the almost universal opinion of all par
ties here, at home, when we say that a better or
more popular appointment for the Superintendency
of the Columbia Railroad could not have been made.
He is a gentleman of easy and courteous manners,
of active business habits, intelligent and energetic,
who will do his duty honestly and fearlessly to the
Commonwealth, and, at the same time be obliging
and .accomodating to all with whom he may have
business. We hazard nothing in predicting that be
will be one of the beat, most efficient, and most pop
s olar Superintendents that has ever been upon the
road, and we say this without disparagement to any
of his predecessors, for some of whom we have a
high regard.

The Magazines.
SARTAIN, for February, is a perfect gem. It
contains ninety-six pages of close and neatly print
ed reading from master pens. This periodical is
deservedly rising in public estimation, and is worth
double the subscription price.
Goon., as usual, is full of rare and beautiful
things for the Ladies, and is monthly improving in
style and interest. The Januaryvnumber was an
excellent one, but the February issue is still better,
being superbly embellished, while the contents are
6f the most refined and useful character. It con
tains 72 pages, 28 contributions from some of the
ablest literary writers of the country, and Do less
than 30 engravings, which is a pretty good card of
introduction to the centre table ofevery parlor in
the land.
Gamum, is not a whit behind any of his con
temporaries in all that is beautiful and interesting.
The February number more than sustans the posi
tion occupied by its predecessors, the reading mat
ter and embellishments being truly unsurpassed as
they are unsurpassable.
Tax LADIES' KEEPSAKE, for January, is also a
capital number. This number is embellished with
a beautiful portrait of General Washington, and its
reading matter is of the choicest and most inter
esting kind. The Xeepsake is published by John
S. Taylor, of New York, and is furnished to sub
scribers at $1 per annum, or 10 cents the 'single
copy. The leading article of the January number
is a well written biographical sketch of General
Washington, by Headley, which alone is worth the
subscription price.
The Weather In New Orleans
Snow does not often fall in New Orleans; when
it does the citizens take advantage of it in the
following manner
The Delta of the 14th ultimo says We wrote
our notice of the sudden and extraordinary visita
tion of snow last evening, when the snow had fallen
only to the depth of three inches. We have now
to record a still further development of this pheno
menon, which made our oldest inhabitants, when
they awoke this morning, and looked nut of the
windows, stare in utter amazement and stupefac
tion. It snowed all night, and this morning the
earth was entirely invisible; a white carpet, to the
depth of eight inches, covered its entire surface.
During the night our population were allagog, and
snow balls flew as thick and as fast as bullets at
Buena Vista.. The hats of peaceable citizens were
knocked into corners; eyes and mouths were filled
with conglomerated masses of snow, and ears were
stopped with heavy solid lumps, which it took con
siderable shaking of the head sideways to get out,
and flakes of the subtle element were deposited un
der the coat collar, which occasioned a smarting,
burning sensation. Altogether, our streets pre
sented a lively appearance last evening."
The Picayune of the same (late says :
" The thermometer on our front balcony last
night at S o'clock, was at five degrees below the
freezing point."
The snow storm extended over Florida, and
snow lel?at Jacksonville to the depth of half an
inch. It remained on the ground two days. The
News says:— •
"There is no record, nor tradition, of such an e•
vent in the history of East Florida. Some of the
oldest inhabitants recollect, on one or two occa
sions, having seen a slight sprinkle of snow, but not
enough to whiten the ground, and it passed off like
a dream. But on this occasion we had an oppor
tunity of enjoying the delightful amusement of
"snow-balling;" and ladies, as fair as the snow it
self, joined heartily in an amusement, the opportu
nity for which presents itself only once, perhaps,
in a century."
TAVERN Erczusna—The Court granted the fol
lowing licenses for new tavern stands, on Saturday
week: Jacob B. Miller, East Donegal; David Cassel,
jr., Marietta; Solomon Hoffman, Marietta.
The lollowing petitions were rejected : Elias
Radcay, Adamstown; Jacoblbling, West Cocalico;
Michael Eby, East Donegal ; B. G. Alderfer, Earl
Henry A. Zug, Warwick.
The following were continued : James C. Ewing,
Bart; Joseph Weible, Drumore ; John Rowe, East
Lampeter ; and Christian Zimmer, Manor.'
The licenses'of Michael Eby, East Donegal, and
John R. Barr, do., were withheld on account of
informality in advertising.
Daniel Hart, jr., Caernarvon, had his application
withdrawn before it was considered by the Court.
All applications for license not included in the
above, were granted.
THE Foaassx Divoaca C.ssa.—This trial which
occupied the attention of the New York Court for
about three weeks, terminated in favor of Mrs.
Forrest. The following is the verdict:
" The jury find that Mr. Forrest is guilty of
adultery; that he was a resident of New York and
not of Philadelphia; that Mrs. Forrest is entirely
innocent ; and that the amount of alimony allowed
Mrs. Forrest be $3OOO per year."
A motion for a new trial was refused. The case,
it is said, will be carried up to the Supreme Court.
WHEELING BRIDGE Cess.—The Supreme Court
of the United States has settled this long pending
case of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania vs. the
Wheeling Bridge Company, by deciding that the
Bridge is a nuisance, and directing that the struc.
ture shall be elevated so as to offer no obstruction
to the navigation of the Ohio river. The complaint
was that, in time of high water, first class steam
boats, with tall chimnies, could not pass under the
Bridge.
fl Hon. R. M. T. Iftwrza has been reelected
U. S. Senator, by the Legislature of Virgin's.
Farther news from Europe.
BOSTON', January 26.—The steamer America,
from Liverpool via Halifax, arrived at her dock at
a quarter past three o'clock this afternoon.. Her
mails will be despatched South to-morrow morn
ing.
The following late and important news was re
ceived by telegraph at Liverpool, previous to the
departure of the steamer:
Eacrxxxn.—The London Times, speaking of the
reports relative;to changes in the Ministry, says:
We merely state the tact as we believe it to be,
that the attempts to effect a partial improvement
in the Ministry, by the substitution of three or tour
new members for others of the present Cabinet
who would retire has not led to any result. It
seems, therefore, the determination- of Lord John
Russell to meet Parliament without any material
alteration in the Ministry.
PROTEST AGAIDIST KossErE/1 . 8
RETURN TO ENO
LAND.—The Daily News copies a statement from a
Hamburg paper, announcing that the Ottoman'
Porte has addressed a note to the English Govern.
ment, protesting against the return of Kossuth to
England, his liberation having been granted under
the express condition that he should take up his
residence in the United States. •
The re-establishment of friendly relations be
tween the Porie and Austria, renders it necessary
that these conditions be fulfilled.
FURTHER FROM FRANCE
PARIS, Friday, Jan. 9—A conspiracy has just
been discovered, the 'object of which was to let
loose the convicts at the Hulks, at Rochefort.
. .
Sixty persons have been arrested at Montpelier
on charges connected with the late disturbances.
It is announced that the i promulgation of ihe
Constitution of France will take place between the
15th and 29th inst. The reason for the delay 6
to allow time (or the publication of the rnore
gent of the organic laws.
The prisoners lately confined at Ham, consisting
of Gen. Changarnier, Lamociere ; and their corn : ,
panions, have been set at liberty on the frontier, I
with the injunction not to return to France.
Kossuth hi Pittsburg.
Pirrsanao, 27.—this morning Kossuth
visited the Alkali Works Of Bennett & Berry, at
Birmingham, whose laborers had appropriated one
week's wag es to the Hungarian fund.. He was ad
dressed onbehalf of the workmen by one of their
number, Christian Keyser, who was tor many years
a prisoner in Europe for .sympathising with the
liberal cause.
Kossuth responded: expressing his gratification
at such movements of the workmen and thanking
them for their kindness.
After inspecting the Soda Works, the Governor
proceeded to a large unfinished foundry in the
neighborhood, 'where was assembled a. large con
course of the Citizens of Birmingham, Dr. Kerr
addressed him on behalf of the assocition of the
friends of Hungary and presented him with a hand.
some slim, the;avails of the organization.
Kossuth after returning thanks for the donation
and briefly remarking upon the cause he: plead,
closed with an'exhortation to all present to ,testify
in the same practical manner.
At the close of his address, a workman named
Trevitt, from the Lock Factory of Edwards &
Morris, came upon the stand, and in a brief but
truly eloquent , and thrilling addiess, informed the
Governor that his associates had this morning
come together rand made up a purse of material
aid, which would be handed in by the Committee,
and had sent him over to make known the fact.
Kossuth received this demonstration with much
emotion, repeatedly grasping 'the hard and black
ened hand of the honest laborer, who had evidently.
laid down his hammer but for the moment, and
appeared in his corking garb. Kossuth commend
ed warmly the spirit of those who toiled; who, too
industrious to waste their time in idle curiosity,
made up their Offering to the cause of freelom, and
sent their associates to lay it upon the altar,:vvhilst
they continued at the labor which contributed to
the means of liberality.
This atternoon Kossuth met the Clergy in the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and was addres
sed in their behalf by the Rev. Dr. McGill. Kos
suth's reply was exceedingly appropriate,„full of
the avowal of 'principles of piety, and a beautiful
combination of the principles of civil and religious
liberty as inseparable companiongt Subsequently J.
C. Vaughn, of Clevelanil, presented Kossuth with
an invitation to visit that city. In the course of
his really fine speech he assured him that the peo
pie of Ohio and the West were prepared to require
the United States Government to declare and insist
upon.the doctrine of non-intervention of one pow
er in the domeitic concerns of another. Kossuth
said, alter thanking him for the invitation and the
remarks accompanying them, " My best answer to,
you is, I will go."
The meeting was then closed with the apostoli:
cal benediction.
Fromth 31aton( Co)ergia Journal.
It is impossible for Union men to affiliate with
the Northern Whigs. As a national organization,
the Whig party no longer exists. It is disorganized
and disbanded. The Northern portion of it is led
and. controlled mainly by Free Soilers and faction.
ists. Even Messrs. Fillmore and Webster have
lost their influence there, because, in their official
capacities, they have been disposed to do simple
justice to the South. Co-operation with such men
as Seward, Dayton and Corwin, is out of the ques
tion—especially as the great mass of their follow.
ers are wholly unsound on the slavery question.
The Democratic party at the North is less ob
noxious to this'charge. The true Democracy there
are led by such men as Buchanan, Cass and Dick
inson- r -by Douglass, of Illinois, and Wright, of In
diana. These men are sound, and their followers
are sound. In their general politics, they differ but
little from the great mass of Union men at the
South, while they all favor the finality of the Com
promise, oppose the further agitation of the sla
very question, and repudiate fanaticism and ultraism
in every shape.
There is at this moment a most singular coali
tion being formed between the Abolitionists and
Disunionists to control that Convention. No son- .
Bible man can Close his eyes to the fact. Van Bu
ren, Blair, Benton, and their free soil .coadjutors,
are marshaling their forces at the North. Rhett,
Commander and McDonald are gathering together
the scattered members of the Coffin Regiments at
the South. These, defeated in their late tieasona-
We schemes, are now about to combine for the pur
pose of subsidizing and controlling the national
Democracy. They will accomplish their purpose, too
—unless defeated by a prompt -movement on the
part of'the Union men of the South.
Now, we hope that the Union men of the South
will send delegates to Baltimore for the purpose of
breaking up this infamous coalition between the
Abolitionists and Fire Eaters, we hope they will
send delegates there who will co-operate with the
true Jackson DemocracY—re-affirm the doctrines
of the Georgia-Convention—engraft the principles
of the ComproMise upon the Baltimore Platform,
and bring out Some such man as Mr. BUCHANAN
for the Presidency.
For ourselvei ' we honestly belive that this is the
only way in which the country can be saved. II
the Southern Unit:ffi men remain out of that Con
vention, the Compromise wing of the Democratic
party—the true Jackson Democrat}—will be over
whelmed by the combined power of the Van Bu
renites and the Rhettites—a free Soil, anti-Compro
mise ticket will be nominated—the slavery agita
tion will be re-opened, and the Union will be lost.
Chester Co. for Buchanan
Chester county, at her Democratic Convention
on Tuesday, unanimously instructed her delegates
to the State Convention for Mr. BUCHANAN. The
delegates are Dr. A. Murphey, John Gilfillan and
Major McVeagh.
Er Senator STock:rozr, of New Jersey, lately
delivered a speech in the U. S. Senate, relative to
the "whipping code" in 'the Navy. It was one of
those brilliant and powerful appeals which never
fail to arrest attention, and Senator STOCKTON has,
in this effort, won universal praise and cowmen_
dation. He has taken the true ground. The idea
of applying the lash to American seamen is bar
barous, and deserving of general condemnation.—
Since the abolishment of the flogging system, we
have had the highest testimony in proof of the die
cipline
of the sailor, while his devotion and uniform
good conduct has elicited the esteem of every hon
est officer in the service. American citizens need
no lash to teach them their duty. A higher incen
tive influences all their actions, and if it is necessary
to degrade men who volunteer to serve our country.
we had better abolish the Navy.
The speech of of COM. STOCKTON completely
vindicates the sailor, and his opinion is deserving
of the greatest respect. His knowledge of nautical
affairs, and his great services abroad, has rendered
him worthily distinguished. We rejoice, therefore,
to record his protest against the , practice of whip
ping American sailors; and we are sure that the
people would deplore and denounce the re-estab.
lishment of the infamous system.

Terminer and General Quarter Sessions of the
Peace, in and for Lancaster County:
The Grand Inquest' of said county, inquiring at
the January Session; 1852, of said Courts, Ra-
&PUT/TILT itZPOWT--
That after.baving acted upon
and disposed of all. the business that was laid be•
lore them, they visited the New County Prison,
and were much pleased with the plan and ar
rangements of the buildings.
The Grand Inquest approve of the plan of keep
ing the convicts employed; belie. , ing it the best
means of preventing the wicked and evil disposed
from the commission of crime, as but few how
ever bad, that would not prefer supporting them
selves in freedom, in preference to being compel
led to do so in confinement.
They next visited the Poor and House of Em
ployment, and Hospital ; and find there is an unu
sual large number of inmates in the former estab
lishment, under the care of Mr. Stebman, all suf
ficiently proqied for. The inmates of the Hos
pital, under the charge of Mr. Taylor, receive all
the care and attention which their melancholy
condition will safely admit. The cleanliness of
both these establishments, so highly creditable to
the benevolence of our county, warrant the belief
that the gentlemen having the care of them are
faithful to their trust ; and, as vets suggested by
the Honorable Court, the Jury examined the
building for the sick. and insane, and deem it ab
srilutely necessary, as soon as the resources of the
county will permit, that the said buildings be al
tered and enlarged, and upon a plan that would
secure increased ventilatioh and protection to the
health of the unfortunate inmates.
The Grand.lnqueit hers refer to a subject that
they deem of vast importance, as affecting the
peace, quiet, and morals! of the community.—
That is the practise.that prevails of Public House.
keepers selling spirituous r i and malt liquors on
Sunday. The existing laws on this subject they
believe forbid such practice, and it they are cor
rect in their belief, they Would earnestly urge up
on the Honorable Court, and authorities charged
with the execution of the laws, the most rigid
scrutiny into all violations of their provisions in
this respect. They think much good would re
sult from a proper and strict. observance of this
law. The community have lung desired it and
the respectable portion of Innkeepers are them
selves in favor of this reform.
The Grand Inquest have learned that consider
ble cost is yearly incurred-to the county. from the
loose practise that prevails amongst the Commit
ting officers, in neglecting:to take substantial bail
of persons residing in the county, for the appear
ance of complainantsin prosecutions. The pros
ecutors often fail to appear and the persons-com
plained against are necessarily discharged, but the
costs incurred thereby, fall upon the county.—
Could a more strict rule be inforced in regard to
this matter, the county would in a great': measure
be relieved from this unjust draw upon the treas
ury, and the evil would be remedied.
The Jury are permitted from representations
made to them by the prcisecuting officer of the
Court, to congratulate the public on the apparent
diminution of crime, particularly that of a high
character, which has taken place within the past
several years. By reference to the annual reports,
it is found that the Criminal expenses of the coun
ty have been gradually diminishing for several
years, and that the past year more considerably
than formerly. The business of the several past
sessions has been despatched without occupying
all the week appropriated and at the present
session no actual increase' of crime has been ob
served. Whether this apparent reform has re
sulted from the improved prison discipline adopt
ed by the connty, operating as a terror to evil
doers, or from the actual advancement of morals
in the community, it is nevertheless gratifying to
all who feel for the misfortunes and intimities of
their fellow men.
.The Grand Jury have great concern un
derstood that the County COmmissioners are stren
uously urged to select a site for a new Court
House about three squareS from where the pres
ent one stands, and remote from the neighborhood
of the public houses established places of busi
ness. A subject so deeply affecting the °whole
county, and all who have and shall have anything
to do with the Courts and public offices, has of
course occupied tha attention of the G.iand Jury
coming as they do froni all parts of the county.
It is the convenience of the people at large, that
has suggested the expediency of new and enlar
rged accommodations for 'our courts, juries and
suitors, and to sacrifice that convenience by re
moving the'place •of holding the courts, and of
transacting the business of Aegister, Prothonotary-
Recorder ,Clerks of the Orphans' Court and Ses
sions, away from the centre of the city, would
not only be unjust but unwise. This business is
especiall that of the people of the county gener
ally, for the vast majority of the suits, titles and
transactions of which it consists, pertains to them.
And can it be supposed that a change of the
present situation of the public buildings, which
would require them to travel in all sorts of
weather, several squares from their accustomed
stopping places to attend to their business would
be satisfactory. The Grand Jury are of the opin
ion that no measnre whatever would excite more
general disapprobation throughout the county,
and that nothing but abiolute necessity would
justify such a step. They believe that it would
be far better to put up with the inconveniences of
the present state of things, than to attempt to
remedy it in the way proposed. But there is no
such necessity. On the Icontrary there is an
available position embracing every desirable ad
vantage, narnely - =the space occupied at present
by the, public offices and market house. Here is
a situation central, with art extent of 138 feet on
King street, including a 14 feet ally on the west
and of a depth including the tenements to the
north, of 245 feet, besides a 14 feet alley in that
direction. Public buildings of the largest dimen
sions may be erected in the middle of this space,
with the front 30 feet froni the street; having un
occupied grounds on 'all sides; that is about 34
feet on both east and west- sides, and about 90 ft.
on the north, thus securing light, air, and exemp.
Lion from external disturbance. Here too, from
the head of water, the utmost security may be
attained by water plugs and hose attached, on
every floor of the building; a point surely of
great importance in a building which is necessari
ly the depository of the records and titles of all
the people.
The Grand Jury are informed that the °writes -
of the tenements in the rear are willing to dis
pose of their property to the county for this pur
pose, at a reasonable price. In short this spot af
fords every convenience; is free 'from every
-objec
t ion; would best accommodate the people of every
section of the county, and would do injustice to
no one.
We therefore respectfully recommend to the
County Commissioners, if, they deem it expedi
ent to build at all, to adopt this site.

Lancaster, Jan. 24, 1852.
TO the Honorable the Judges of the Courts of Oyer
and Terminer and General Quarter Sessions of the
Peace in and for the Cou nty of Lancaster:
'l'he Grand Inquest of the county of Lancaster,
inquiring at the Januarly term of said Courts,
RESPECTFULLY REPILLSTISTS-
That the+ have passed upon all
the bills brought before them, and are happy to
see by the returns made to the Court, that the
number of criminal cases is decreasing in the
county. It is not to be wondered at, in a county
possessing as large a population as Ours, contain
ing a large city and many thriving towns and
villages, that, the• Conk should be :occupied
during the most of the time alloted for the crim
inal business F . but on an inspection of the cases,
it will be found that mosti of the crimes are com
mitted by persons comino here from other coun
ties, and the misdemeanors are of such a charac
ter as do not indicate great depravity of mind,
but rather haw from unbridled passion or are
committed under the influence of intoxicating
• drinks.
The Grandi Jury think that our criminal cal
endar will compare favorably with any county in
the United States possessing equal population, and
attribute this result to [he l l prompt administration
of justice here; and the general disposition of our
people to maintain the supremacy of the law.
Among the causes lhati generate crime in' our
community, intemperance occupies a prominent
position ; and we cannot close our eyes to the
fact that a large proportion of the criminal ex
penses of the ,county is caused by crime commit
ted by persons under the. influence of.spiritous
liquors. The open and notorious sale of liquor
on the Sabbath day, in violation of the act of
1705, is a crying evil, and like all other violations
of the law cannot fail to produce crime, distress
and misery ; and as one step to a reform in ,this
matter, we would respectfully recommend to the
Court to have the bars in all the taverns licensed
within the jurisdiction of this Court, closed on the
Sabbath. Arid that the Court should direct her&
after, that strict inquiry be made of the constables,
when they make their quarterly returns to the
Court, who, among the tayinktuness in then
respec l tire towns and townships; keep Their bars
open on tbe,Sabliath, and that the Court would
not grant license to those who keep them open,
and would revoke the license of those who thus
persist in violating the law. The Grand Jury
believe that when this matter is properly under
stood throughout this county, that a large majority
of its citizens will approve of such action of the
Court, and that intemperance, the fruitful source
of so much crime, will proportionably diminish.
The Grand Jury regret that they have been
compelled to ignore, and thus put the costs of.
many bills on the county, in consequence of the
non-appearance of the prosecutors. On inquiry
they learn that the complaints have been made
by non-residents of this county, who having ob
tained possession of their goods and the articles
stolen, fail to appear against the prisoners, who
must necessarily be discharged and the costs be
paid by the county. To avoid this in future, the
Grand Jury suggest that it would be expedient
for Justices of the Peace, before whom complaint
is made by non residents, to require them to give
security resident in this county, for appearance at
court to testify. By this means the District At
torney can forfeit the recognizance of the prose
cutors in the event of their non-appearance, and
there will be some responsible resident of the
county from whom to collect the costs of the
prosecution. We think that a. little attention to
this matter by the Justices of the Peace, will save
the county much time and expense.
The Grand Jury have visited the new County
Prison, and are much pleased with its arrange
ment, and the system of solitary confinement
there maintained, and are confident that after a
trial of a few >ears the system of Prison Discip
line there pursued will have the effect of reforming
the convict, and of giving them some honorable
employment by which in after years he can earn
a competent subsistence.
The Poor House appears to be in good order
and well managed by those under whose charge
it is. This Institution reflects great ciit upon
this county, providing as it does a proper recep
tacle for those whose poverty or misfortunes har e
rendered incapable of supporting themselves.
The attention of the Grand Jury having been
called by the Court to the Hospital for the Insane.
they would state that it does not seem to answer
the purpose for which it was intended, and would
recommend that as soon as the finances of the
county permit there should be more ample and
suitable accommodations provided for the insane.
The Grand Jury cannot omit to notice the
condition of our present Court House, and the
necessity that there seems to be for immediately
.providing a more suitable place for the accom
modation of the Court. In the present building
there are no proper accommodations for Jurors.
Witnesses, Counsel or Spectators.
At the present session, which is by no means
the largest in the year, we have with difficulty
obtained seats below, when presenting to the
Court bills that we have acted upon ; nod -it is
a matter of common complaint among Jurors,
witnesses and others whom business or curiosity
brings to the Court House, that it is inadequate
and insufficient for the purpose for which it was
erected.
The - large and growing population of this
County demand imperatively the erection of a
large and spacious Court House, where all who
desire may be present to witness the administra
tion of justice. We believe that were our Courts
held in a more suitable place, the business would
be much expedited, and a great saving of time
and money.be gained to suitors, jurors and the
community at large. The Commissioners of the
county are intelligent men and are competent to
act in the matter, and we trust that it will receive
at their hands that attention which the pressing
necessity of the case seems to demand.
We do not conceive it to be a part of our duty
to decide upon the location of the Nevi• Court
House, but leave that to those to whom it has
been properly confided by the various acts or
Assembly.

The Mexican Indemnity Bill
This bill, appropriating $3,180,000, to pay the
instalment due and owing to Mexico under the
treaty of peace with that country, seems to be the
only question of moment that has yet been agitated
in Congress. The debates on it are sharp and some
what acrimonious, and charges of corruption against
certain certain high officers of the Government are
freely indulged in. The end is not yet of this
Gal phin Administration.
Presidential Prospects.
Under this caption the San Francisco (California)
Herald, a neutral paper, but with strong Democrat
ic tendencies, of December 2u, after speaking of the
several prominent candidates of both parties for
the next Presidency, says:
"The election in Pennsylvania has enhanced
Mr. BUCHANAN'S prospects to an extent that is but
just beginning to be appreciated. It is probable
that he alone, of all the Democratic candidates, can
carry Pennsylvania, and that State is the main stay
of the party in the next election."
REVISION or THY TERIVF.-A correspondent of
the Journal of Commerce states that Senator James,
of Rhode Island, has framed a projedt for a modi
fication of the tariff of 1846, and having consulted
several members in regard to it, will soon present
his scheme to the Senate, with the approbation of
some of the leading opposition members of both
Houses. His plan is said to look to a reduction of
the rate of duties on some articles of manufacture
Which enter into general consumption, and an in
crease on finer tabrics. It proposes to add ten per
cent. to the present duties on iron, and the same on
fine cottons, and fabrics of cotton and wool ; leav
ing the present system otherwise as it is.
StLysa MINE IN NEW MEXTCO.—The latelli
gencer is informed, that a despatch has been received
from an officer of the army stationed in New Mex
ico, stating that an extensive and rich silver mine
has been discovered on the public lands, in the %i
-cinity.of Fort Fillmore, in that Territory. The
main or chief vein is said to be over five inches in
width at the surface, and is exposed from the sum
mit of a mountain fifteen hundred feet high to its
base, over a :housand yards in length. The eastern
slope only of the mountain has been explored, but
rhere is no doubt that the vein passes entirely thro'
it. An analysis of the ore has been made by a
Mexican silver worker, who pronounces it very
rich. Fort Fillmore is about twenty miles north
of El Paso.
'ID - Nothing of general importance, or that
would be interesting to our readers in this county,
has yet been transacted by the State Legislature,
if we except thebill authorizing a loan of $300,000
to pay the interest on the public debt. A great
many local bills have been passed. .
RELIEF NOTES IN ClactrLiTrox.—From the Au
ditor General's Annual Report, we glean the fol
lowing information relative to the Relief - notes
which continue to form a portion of the currency
of our State :
Original amount issued, $2,220,364
Amount of old issues redeemed, 2.162,84 1
Amount of old issues in circulation, 57.417
Amount re-issued and in circulation, 592,746
na - The new Lutheran Church, which had just
been completed at Lewistown, was destroyed by
fire on Wednesday last. We have not heard how
the fire originated. The building Ms insured to
the amount of $2900, but this sum will nothing
like cover the loss.
ED - Lancaster County has gone for Buchanan
with a perfect rush. In the city of Lancaster, the
vote at the primary election stood: Buchanan 977,
Cass 210 ! This vote does not sustain .the charge
frequently made, that Mr. Buchanan is unpopular
at home, and we are glad of it.—Genius of Liberty,

of 50 to 35, passed resolutions approving the vote
of Senators King and Clemens on the Compromise

Tai FORUM DIVORCIL Case.--It is conceded by
the Journal brCernmeree, that sides were taken on
of doors between the litigants, and ••that it had it
influence over the jury, cannot be questioned."—
The jury, during the whole trial, were in Court
only from 10 A. M. till 3 P. M., and then mingled
with the crowds who were discussing the question,
under all the grossly partial strictures of the press.
Nay more, the verdict was known in Philadelphia
long belore the Opining of the Court on Monday
last, the result having been obtained fro m a "l ea k y

Courts, was the verdict obtained.

The subject of this notice was a most lovely and
interesting child. The elements of all the graces
of female excellence were budding, even in her
youthful innocency. She was not only the object
of the fondest affection of her parents and relatives,
but all who knew her cherished a feeling of inter
est, rarely exercised toward a child so young. A
tender branch of so rare excellence torn from the
family circle inflicts a wound most deep and lasting.
The sympathy of friends, though grateful to those
who are bereaved, falls far abort of the object for
which it is kindly intended; but in this case, a
mournful reflection renders the bereavement yet
more melancholy. Scarcely five months have
elapsed since a sweet babe, a darling boy of the
same family, was stricken by the sturdy arm of
death and laid in the silent tomb. It is a sad
thought that a large proportion of all the mortality
of our race occurs with children of a yet tender
age. The little ones, the buds and blossoms of this
earth are swept away—torn from the affections of
the parents and claimed as the trophies of death:
There is a consolation, however, in the assurance
that all these bereavements are guided by the steady
and unerring hand of an allwise and just Providence.
The opening bud just emerging into beauty and
loveliness, is not plucked from this thorny an deal
lons earth to wither and die in the ordinance of
chance, but is transplanted to a heavenly and more
glorious soil. The casket so rich yields up its jewel
to become yet more resplendent in the galaxy of
immortal light, reflecting the golden tinge of Divine
grace. The spirit emancipated thus early from its
clay habitation, soars to the embrace of him whose
language is "suffer little children to come unto me,
and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of
Heaven."
