PLAINErSIM CLASSICAL ACKDESSI/..- e have
several times called the attention of our r aders to
this excellent Institution, located near th line of
the Cumberland Valley Railroad, four miles west
of Carlisle, in one of the most delightful spots in all
that region of country. The accomplisheil Princi

and intellectual training of youth is better jattended

Caen PAusars.—We are gratified to 'perceive
says the Democratic Union, that the apprdpriation
hill makes provision for paying the back'debts on
the public works, and that it is the deterMination
of the Canal Commissioners, when this is ifione, to
make Can Pe.xxiErrrs, in all future cases, it the ap
propriations are sufficient. Thib is the true system
Of economy, and will do more to reduce the expen
ditures on the public works than all they reforms
that have been adopted for the last twenty years.
Cash payments in all cases ought to beadopted,
and the Legislature should not fail to make provii
ton for carrying it out.
Columbia Railroad-Cattle l rade.
'1"
There is an immense business doing on he Rail
road this Spring, in almost every kind of ranspor
tetion. in the article of live cattle alone the trade
is very great. On Tuesday last a train of forty
eight cars, drawn by the locoinotive Chester, under
the direction of Mr. James Sample, Engineer, pass
ed through this city having on board about 200
fat cattle, the product of the Cumberl and Valley
alone, and weighing not less than 200,00 b lbs.—
The cattle ,were owned by Gen. JOEIN Dili Woon
imam & Co., of Newville, Cumberland county, who
have bean engaged in the business for 4 several
Months past, and who, each week, for the last sev
en or eight weeks, have regularly sent down a fine
lot of cattle to the Philadelphia market ;and we
halm that they purpose continuing the trade for
several weeks to come. We have long kn4vn Gen.
WoonnunN as an active, energetic and intelligent
business man, and he and his colleague . ‘deserve
great credit for their enterprize and perseverance.
LiWe have no doubt that under the able 'renege
ent of the present Superintendent, Col. BAKER, and
i the officers under him, the Columbia and Philadel
phia Railroad will be made to yield a large reve
sue to the Commonwealth, over and abovi the ex
'pease of keeping it in repair. With the 6mense
Increase of business on the road, however; it is all
• , 1
important 'that new rails should be laid,:lso as to
r l ender it more safe, and we are pleased to find that
i nn appropriation of $200,000 is contemplated by
'the Legislature for that purpose. We trust it will
pass, and that the contracts may be given ,iir with
out,delay, so that the work can be complete during
the Piebent season. }
Moan Fins rx Tag RaAn.—The nomination of
Gen. Scott by the Federal party of Penn;qvania,
has created quite an uproar in the Southern Camp.
The name of Jonsurrax at the head of th 4 delega
tion to Philadelphia is not at all palatable to the
Soot irn Whigs. The Petersburg Intellig l encer, a
leading whig paper of Virginia, says:
" When we remember the course pursued by this
man Johnston, when Governor of Pennsyl4na, in
regard to the Fugitive slave law, we, of the South,
cannot help looking with suspicion, if not absolute
distrust, on any cause with which he and his coad
jutors are connected. It is very true that General
Scott is not responsible for the action of Pennsyl
vania, with respect to her delegation tolthe Na
tional Convention, but if his cause is that Conven
tion is to be advocated by such champions is John
ston & Co., the effect upon the slave holding States
cannot be doubted."
Err The . Democrats of Colambus:countk, North
Carolina, have nominated JADEIO 8UF1741.7( for
the PreMency,
;.-. Communlcaillon Itti sale:
We ale pleased to learnas we do from the
Washington correspondent .of the Daily News, of
Thursday last—that the House Con:unittee on Na
val Affairs agreed to report in favor of
-the
propoaition submitted by Messrs. Moore,Lawl
Goodman, Deihl- and others, kir the establishmen t
of a line of steamships from our twist on the Pa
cific to Shanghai in China. The writer says that
this project is prelerred.by all the membets of the
committee, with one exception, to that submitted
by Mr. Thompson. He says further, that—" Jud
ging from the disposition manifested by members
in regard to the importance of establishing such a
line of. steam communication between this country
and China, I have little doubt that the bill about
being reported by Mr. Cabell, to whom the Com
mittee of Naval . Affairs assigned the duty, will have
a sufficient 'number of friends in the House to en
sure its passage; and, if so, I have as little doubt
that it will pass the :ordeal of the Senate, and be
enacted into a law be fore the close of the present
session of Congress."
That the proposed line is one of vast importance
to the commercial interests of this country, no ore
can doubt for a single moment who will take the
pains to inform himself on the subject. The
vantages which would flow from it are incalculable,
and our only wonder is,that an enterprise of such
vast magnitude, involving such an immense outlay
of money at the start, should be seriously contem
plated by a few private individuals. That it will
pay them well in the end is beyond all doubt, but
that it will benefit our whole country vastly more
is, to our mind, clear to a demonstration.
We hope to see the bill pass both branches of
Congress and be signed by the President without
any unnecessary delay; and then a fresh impetus
will be given to the commerce and trade of the U.
States with the countries of the east, and our own
country will be benefited and enriched beyond cal
culation.
Letter from the President.
A number of documents relative to the Japan
expedition were sent to the Senate on Monday
week. The following extract of, a letter from
President Fillmore to the Emperor of Japan, will
be read with interest:
t of Gov-
Ir.s—and
f the of
Toinung
"I send you by this letter anenvoy of my own
appointment, an officer of high rank in his country,
who is no missionary of legion. He goes by my
command to bear to you .my, greetings and good
wishes, and to promote friendship and commerce
between the two countries.
"You know that the United States of America
now extend from sea to sea; that the great country
of Oregon.and California are parts of the United
States; and that from these countries, which 'are
rich in gold and silver and precious stones, our
steamers can reach the shores ot your happy land
in less than twenty days.
"Many of our ships will now pass in every year,
and some, perhaps, in every week, between Cali
fornia and China; these ships must pass along the
coast of your Empire; storms and winds may cause
them to be wrecked on your shores, and we ask
and expect from your friendship and your great
ness, kindness for our men and protection for our
property. We wish that our people may be per
mitted to trade with your people, but we shall not
authorize them to break any law of your Empire.
"Our object is friendly commercial intercourse,
and nothing more. You may have productions
which we should be glad to buy; and we have pro
ductions which might suit your people. Your
Empire contains a great abundance of coal; this
is an article which our steamers, in going from
California to China, must use. They would be
glad that a harbor in your Empire should be ap
pointed to which coal might be brought, and where
they might always be able to purchase it.
"In many other respects, commerce between
your Empire and our country would be useful to
both. Let us consider well what new interests
may arise, from these recent events, which have
brought our two countries so near together; and
whaf purposes of friendly amity and intercourse
this ought to inspire in the hearts of those who
govern - both countries."

7 WASHINGTON, March 30, 1852.
I have never distinctly understood what M. Kos
suth said of me at Louisville. I certainly had given
him no cause of offence. The interview between
him and me cannot be regarded is private, as it
certainly was not a confidential one. It was at
tended by three members of Congress, and the At
torney of the United States for this district, and
would have been by others but for my feeble state
of health. What I had said'in the interview with
M. Kossuth was variously and sometimes contra
dictorily represented in the newspapers: Under
these circumstances, Mr. Ewing, one of the mem
bers in attendance, prefaced the statement which
has been, published, and the substantial accuracy
of which had been verified by another attending
member. Over my own sentiments and language
I thought I had entire control, just as Gen. Cass
thought proper to state to the Senate of the
United States what he had said to Mr. Kossuth
upon their first interview. Mr., Ewing, in his
statement, treated M. Kossuth with perfect respect,
and said nothing to compromit him in the slightest
degree. Such, my dear sir, was the origin and such
the motives of the publication alluded to.
I am with great respect,
Your friend and obedient sect,
H. CLAY.

California News.
The intelligence from California, brought by the
steamer El Dorado which arrived at New York on
Tuesday last, is important and interesting. A most
disastrous flood had occurred on nearly all the riv
ers. The cities of Sacramento, Nevada,
and Marys
ville had been completely overflowed, causing a
wide-spread devastation and the most frightful con
sternation.
The loss at Marysville is estimated at $lOO,OOO.
At Sacramento the embankment gave way, and
several houses floated down the river. At Marys
ville all the stores were submerged, and a large
quantity of goods destroyed.
The city of Stockton and San Joaquin Valley
had also suffered by the flood. The loss in the city
amounted to $25,000.
At Nevada two Quartz Mills, the Theatre, Em
pire Hotel and several houses were swept away.—
The bridges over Salmon Falls and Coloma River
were carried off, and no doubt every bridge on the
South and Middle Falls has shared the same fate.
The country between Sacramento and the mines is
impassable. The Legislation Halls are surrounded
by water and the members reached them in boats.
Nearly all the houses on the Marysville and Sacra
mento road floated away. Many of the finest brick
' houses in Marysville have been rendered untenant
able. The damage at Sacramento amounts to $4O
- Many lives were known to have been lost.—
So great wan the consternation that few particulars
had been obtained. Great quantities of live stock
had perished throughout the country. At the last
accounts the flood was abating at all points.
The storeship Lexington arrived at San Francis
co on the 14th of March. The steamer Monu
mental City had also arrived from Panama on the
same day, having put into an intermediate port in
consequence of an accident. Her passengers were
all well.
A large amount of business, chiefly of a local na
ture, had been transacted in the Legislature. The
salary bill affixing the following salaries had passed:
Governor $6000; Treasurer, Comptroller and Dis
trict Judges $5000; Supreme Court Judges $7OOO.
An unfavorable report had been made in the
House on the subject of dividing the State into sep
arate Congressional. districts.
The fugitive slave bill had been reported back by
the Houe.
A resolution had , passed the Legislature request
ing the general Government to tarnish the 'State
with 20,000 muskets and 1000 of Colt's pistols.
DESPATCH or BosinEss.--The new Supreme
Court was organized on the 2d Monday of Dec.
1851, and has been in session in this city ever since
except one week spent in the country, for the dis
position of cases there. During this time, 170
cases have been argued and disposed of, exclusive
of a large number non pressed and`settlecrhy agree
ment of parties. Every case ready• for argument
has been reached, and the Philadelphia and county
cases continued over until next term, at the in
stance of the parties, constitute but a fraction of
what the list contained at the commencement of
the present term. The number of cases argued
before, and disposed of, by the new Court, is unpre.
cedented in the annals of the Supreme Court; and
it will be gratifying to the public to know, that
their cases can be determined as speedily by the
present Bench as in any of the subordinate Courts
A knowledge of this fact will be very apt to in
crease the business of the Nisi . Prius in future.—
Last Year a vigorous effort was made by the then
Court to reduce the number of cases on the list.—
The Court sat until some time in May, and some
thing over 100 cases were argued And disposed of.
High commendations were generally awarded the
Judges for their energy and despatch of business,
and they deserved it. The encomiums of the Bar,
the parties litigant and the public generally, which
have already been awarded the new Court, must
be highly gratifying to their feelings, and will prove
an incentive to the reduction of the list to the ca
ses of the year in which they shall hereafter hold
their sessions. Philadelphia Sun.
BOLDLY Sern.—The Danville (K y.) Tribune, a
zealous Whig organ, seeing so much said of Gen
Scott's popularity, puts in a disclaimer, so far a s
Kentucky is concerned, and after this order :
" While General Scott is a great military leader,
his overgrown vanity, and poor civil qualifications
do not entitle him to the suffrages of the American
people, for the highest office ih their gift. We are
not for Scott, with or without a nomination. His
nomination would be the death knell of the Whig
party."
Hanarsurrno, April 17.—1 t isl announced here
with much confidence, by the opponents of the nu
merous Bank bills which have recently passed both
houses of the Legislature, that Gov. Bigler will ve
to the whoje lot, with perhaps the exception of
two or three which are regarded 'as necessary.—
Not less,than sixteen or eighteen of these bills have
passed, most of them through both branches, and
authorize an addition to the banking capital of
the State of upwards of three millions of dollars.
Several daring burglaries have recently been per
petrated here. The residence of Judge Pearson
was entered a few evenings since, and robbed of
silver plate valued at $3OO. Several other dwel
lingei shops, &c., have been robbed.
There is little probability of the Legislature ad
journing before about the 10th of May. Most of
the important public business is yet to be disposed
of.
BOSTON. April 13.—The House of Deligates this
afternoon passed the. Maine Liquor Bill by a ma
jority of 75. The provisions referring the subject
to a vote of the people, and allowing the sale of li
quors for sacramental purposes, were stricken out,
so that the bill goes back to the Senate with these

A WOMAN SENTENCE)) TO DEATU.-At the
Duchess County Court of Oyer and Terminer, N.
Y., now in session at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Judge
Barculo presiding, Ann Hoag has been convicted of
murder, in having on the 20th of June,last, poi
soned her husband, Nelson Hoag, and elolped with
another man named Somers. The Poughkeepsie
American speaks as follows:
"This unfortunate woman has been tried, con
victed, and sentenced to be executed on the 7th of
May.
Her history is a novel one. She is a foundling;
and does not know that she has a relative beyond
the children of her body. Some thirty-five years
ago she was deposited in a basket on. the door step
of a Post Master in the town of Rhinebeck. She
was fed and clothed to womanhood. At the' age
of 18 years she married Hoag, a widower, by
whom sl•e bore four or five children. We would
not bxtenuate her crime. She has been foun guilty,
and unless executive clemency is interposed, must
suffer the extreme penalty of the law, after the
birth of her child."
THE ODD FELLOWN—The next semi-annual
meeting of the Grand Lodge of the Independent
Order of Odd-Fellows will be held in Philadelphia,
on the 3d Monday of May next. The proposed
amendments of the Constitution of the Grand
Lodge and of the subordinate Lodges will be finally
disposed of, and many other subjects , of impor•
tance to the welfare of the Institution.
ANOTHER WARNING.—The wife and' seven chil
dren of Mr. Daniel B. Becker, of Perry township,
Berks county, came very near losing their lives,
last week, by poison. The husband had purchased
arsenic for rats and placed it in the cupboard with
out the knowledge of his wife, who, baking cakes
used the arsenic for salaratus. The wife and chil
dren ate heartily of the cakes, and were soon taken
with vomiting, &c. The administration of timely
antidotes saved- their lives.
Honasnia DArru.—On Monday week last, a
colored woman met with a most horrible death, in
a house on Minersville road. She was on a wake
with a woman whose husband was lying dead -in
the house. It appears they both indulged freely
in the use of liquor, and became sufficiently intox
icated to be unconscious of what they were doing.
During the night the. clothes of the unfortunate
victim took fire, while she was lying asleep on the
floor near the grate, and before the other woman
could be aroused, was burnt to a crisp.—Pottsville
Register.
PORTSMOUTH, Va., April 16.—Jack Stevens, the
noted thief, charged with the robbery of the Ports
mouth Bank, some months since, escaped from jail
last night. He was recently arrested in Philadel
phia and brought hither as a fugitive from justice:
There were other charges pending against him.
POTOMAC RISHERIES.—Large supplies of herring
have been received at Afaxandria within the last
few days. Herring were selling on Tuesday at
$4,50 a $5 per thousand, and shad at $9 per hun
dred. Work has now commenced in earnest at the
landings on the Potomac.
WAS4INOTPN, April 14.—The room occupied
by the Clerk of the Supreme Court, in the Capitol
Building, was discovered to be on fire between two
and three o'clock this morning, but thdflames were
fortunately extinguished by the police force em
ployed about the Capitol without much alarm, tho'
not until the fire had destroyed' most of the furni
ture in the room. Nothing of great 'value, how
ever, was lost. The origin of the fire is unknown.
The Clerk was engaged in the room last evening
with a candle, and there were matches on the table
which appears to have caught first. The room was
heated by flues, and no person had access to it but
the Clerk.
CHARLESTON, April 14.—Dr. Green, convicted of
forgery at Mobile, has been sentenced to ten years
imprisonment in the Penitentiary. He was once
a very respectable citizen and an earnest and zealous
member of the church. He made a most affecting,
speech to the COurt, in which he appealed to the

WASHINGTOS, April 14.—The arrival of Gov.
Kossuth, last evening, was attended with very little
excitement. He was called upon during the even"-
ing by a large number of citizens, arid welcomed
cordially. He remains here two or three days and
will then proceed to Philadelphia, where he will
remain a few - days before proceeding to Boston.
Ricimonn, April 15.—Mrs. Rains, of Harrison
burg, Va., who recently received a draft on &Phil
adelphia bank of $lOOO, from her son in California,
and whose sudden mysterious disappearance caused
much alarm in the neighborhood, it appears was
brutally murdered. Her body was 'found in the
Shenandoah river, with the head cut off. The mur
derers are unknown. She was very old, and' parti
ally blind, and much respected by all her neighbors.
If the object Of the murderers, as it unquestionably
was, was to obtain her money, they di ' t suc
ceed. She had not the draft with her. It is safe/
Forrest, the tragedian, has performed upwards of
fifty consecutive playing nights in N. York, with
out any diminution of audience. The Herald saya
that daring his engagement he has played some
twenty different characters, and he has. netted be
tween twenty and thirty thousand dollars—half of
the gross receipts going into his purpose. His
performances have been witnessed by eighty thous
and persons. Such an engagement never has been
recorded in dramatic annals.
MURDER Or A. ?EieL4T4 is Vularma.—Mrs.
Rains, an old lady who recently disappeared from
the neighborhood of Harrisonburg, Va., ha's been
found In Ole Shenandoah river, about 20 miles be
low the - place where she disappeared, in a bag, wit:,
her head cut off. Some time ago she received a
check from her son, (who is now in California,) on
a Philadelphia bank, for $l,OOO, which she had de
posited with Gen. Lewis to draw for her. On the
day she disappeared, she had gone to Gen. L'a to
see about the spatter, and on her return home, she
being partially blind and it becoming dark, lost her
way, when some bend in human shape, supposing
she had procured her money, (which she had not,)
butchered her in the manner above indicated.
Tea GOLD Marria.—About 2,000 persons leave
Michigan this spring for California. The Cincin
nati Gazette says that, during Mardi last, between
3,100 and 9,200 persons, generally farmers, shipped
at that point for California—mostly without any
intention of returning.
COLUMBUS, Oaio, April 12th.—The Senate reso
lution, which passed on Saturday, to loan the arms
of the State to Kossuth, was laid on the table in
the House today, by a vote of 44 yeas t 0.23 nays.
RUSSIA Inoa.—A petition was presented in the
U. S. Senate on the 31st ult., from G. J. H. Shcen
burg & Co., of Pittsburg, Pa., and citizens of St.
Louis, to secure to them for a limited period the
manufacture of Russia sheet-iron in the U. States.
They set forth that they have acquired the process
of manufactdring Russia sheet iron, but that under
the patent laws they cannot obtain a patent, as they
are not the inventors, the mode being the same as
that by which the article is manufactured in Rus
sia.- They contend that the manufacture in this
country would greatly cheapen the article and
bring it into general use. The process was die,
covered by .Seth Boyden, of Philadelphia, several
years Pince.

FRANKLIN MARSHALL COLLEGE
Mr. Editor : The subscriber desires to say
a few words to the friends and patrons of
Franklin and Marshall College, through the
medium of the Lancaster County Press. My
prostrated health, and the hard winter, made
it impossible to prosecute the objects of my
agency during the incletilent season which is
now drawing to a close, and occasioned much
delay in the work of collecting the funds re
quired: for the establishment of the College :
and as it is desirable that the buildings should
be commenced at the earliest possible date,
which can not be done; by any means, until
the $26,000 required by the charter law shall
have been collected and the Governor certified
of that fact ; 'and as the Board of Trustees of
Franklin College, at their late meeting held in
this city, have required my final report by tie
first Monday of lune next, if at all possible, (a
very short time indeed,) I do, therefore, most
respectfully repeat the request already made
at an earlier date, to our kind subscribers, that
they prevent unnecessary delay, and much ex
pense, by calling at the Lancaster Bank, or the
Farmers' Bank of Lancaster, and paying over
their respective subscriptions, without waiting
for a call from the agent in propria persona.
The sooner end more promptly this is done,
the better for the enterprise in all respects,
and the sooner will , the site' be selected, the
buildings erected, and the institution put into
active operation : and this method will save
much avoidable expense.
As the instalments are now all (fuq, why
should there be any fdrther delay ? All the
friends of the institution, and patrons of the
movement to bring it into actual existence and
useful operation, are, certainly, anxious to have
it opened and ready at as early a date as is at all
practicable : and we are persuaded that every
patron and subscriber honestly intended, when
the subscription was given,.to pay the amount
punctually and without occasioning any unne
cessary. delay. And as each subscriber 'has
had the full use of the money subscribed, up
to this time, the Board having deemed' it unad
visable to collect the instalments as they be
came due, before all should come to be due, it
is now hoped that the subscribers will come
forward promptly and without delay, and de
posit the amount as requested. Those who
cannot by any means thus come forward, are
respectfully requested to lay by them in store
the amounts subscribed by them respectfully,
to be able to hand the money over to the agent
promptly when called upon, to save his time
and the necessity of making repeated calls.—
Shall not the honor of the City and County be
maintained in this, movement without further
delay ?
Will any one hesitate to disoharge the solemn
pledges given and obligations made ? Surely,
we hope to be constrained to report more joy
ful news and more honorable tidings, and to
say that the subscription book, credited in full,
is deposited in. the archives, and shall remain
an enduring monument to the honor and praise
of the generoqs and liberal subscribers and
patrons of the College.
The agent avails hiniSelf of this opportunity
to express his sincere gratitude to those sub
scribers who have already so promptly answer
ed the call, depositing the amount subscribed,
or handing it to him in person ; and he sincere
ly hopes all others will feel inclined and will
make efforts to go and do likewise.
With great respect, &c.,
J. C. BUCHER, AGENT
For the Board of Trustees
Of Franklin College, &c.
Oon STATE Imusovxzersrs.—By a statement
furnished to the Democratic Union, we learn that the
lines of Public Improvements now in operation,
originally
Cost, -
Revenue,
Expenditures,
Thus the revenue has been $361,373 16 more
than therwhole cost, and , exceeded the expenditures
nearly $6,000,000. This is a nut to crack for those
who, at the present time, would turn over the pub
lic works to the hands of private companies. This
statement puts quite another face on the stories pro
mulgated, by the enemies of public prosperity, and
shown that instead of the canals and railroads be
ing losing stock, the state derives quite en impor
tant sum of revenue from them.—Leb..Rdvertjscr.
HANOVER BRANCH RAILROAD.-0O Tuesday last
an engine with six cars of iron rails and nine cars
'of ties passed over the Hanover (Pa.) Branch Rail
road to within seven miles of the borough of Han
nver, and, it is expected that five miles more of the
ack will be laid by the first of May. The Ga
zette states that a partial arrangement has been
made with Gov. Porter, by which 10,000 tons of
iron ore and a heavy amount of return freight will
be carried over this road annually.

11 The No following communications are on
the subject of the Maine , Liquor Law. The first
one came to:hand - after our last paper went to
press; the second is published on the principle that
" to speak his, thoughts is every freeman's right,"
and especiallrbecanse it purports to be a defence
of the Clergy against some of the strictures of "X
X." We like to see fair play in every thing; and
as both parties are now about square, and as the
Maine Liquor Law has received its quietus in the
Legislature, we suppose there is no longer a neces
sity for keeping up the discussion. We, therefore
hope to see it dropped all round, as too much of a
good thing is very apt to produce satiety :
The Maine-sac Law,
Raving had its quietus last. week in the Legisla
ture, the Express in its last spasm gives one more
of those " fantastic kicks" at the writer of this,
by saying "X. X. has used himself up, and there
is nothing left for him to work upon;" simply chi).
cause he pretends to be a temperance man, using
nothing stronger than i• X. X." Ale, Brandy and
Cold Water. Thus, our Solon would imply, that
DO man can be temperate, who will either " touch,
taste or handle." Now the editor may have his
own private views of what constitutes temperance,
which in his particular case may mean total prohibi
tion, as many men, if they but look at a little, are
past redemption ; but when he desires to give the
public his "hi-dears" on temperance, I would ad
vise him to refer to Webster's standard, and save
future exposure.
The attack upon my articles was unnecessary and
uninvited. The Express first tried open exposure,
then kept up a running fire of slurs, abuse and low
ribaldryNetermir e d to annihilate any poor "liquor
ite" who dares to open hie mouth in defence of his
rights and liberties, against a few fanatics who could
not give one solid -argument, reason, or the least
particle of common sense to justify their strange
proceedings.
Although this question is now settled, our teeto-
tal friends are determined to support none but
" Cold-water doctors" for our next Legislature. I
do hope the "Express Man" will have his "reward
of merit" by being entered upon the "track" at
once. Having already received his diploma, he is
now fairly upon his legs and only wants a fair start;
when after being under the influence of the Moore
for so long a time, he may probably follow her ex
ample, viz: starting with a couple of "horns" un
til she gets " full ;" then after spending his last
"quarters" for a couple more "horns" retire in
the shade. And should he ever appear again be
lore the public, I have no doubt he will still be un
der the influence of a "couple of horns."
We will now bid our prospective member adieu.

Maine Law and Ministers.
Ma. EDlTOR :—Several articles have appeared in
your paper over the signature of " X X,' who "de
sires to use your columns for a temperate discussion
of the Maine Law: , lamat a loss to know how
any man can desire a temperate discussion, who in
an address to Farmers, makes a most wanton and
insulting attack on the Ministry. Should he suc
ceed, it certainly will not be owing to his prudence.
Ministers who advocate a Prohibitory Law are cal
led "a certain class," who "to advance their own
power," are willing to sacrifice the "principles
and interests of the people at large." They are
" the emissaries of the Church and pour down its
holy thunders at the doors of our capitol." They
"wheedle end threaten by turns, and to manufac
ture public opinion, the Rev. orator takes the vote
of the meeting, when he knows that almost all
present are members of the religious denomination
now at the lead." These " christian politicians .
are so abusive that their opponents are quiet through
fear, and the public press is hushed on the same
ground, being destitute of moral courage," etc.—
These same Ministers desire " the union of Church
and State," and are sneeringly called "white cra
vats and kid gloves, who will stop at no means to
accomplish their ends." This is a singular method
of obtaining a temperate discussion. Were I to
send you an article equally abusive of the liquor
sellers, would you have the moral courage to pub
lish it? Your correspondent never attended the
meetings which he attempts to describe; or, if he
did, he has wilfully misreprented them, I was
present at-several and saw but oie 'vote taken by
Fa. Minister. The President and yearly all the Vice
Preside its were members of the Legislature. The
audience was composed of all classes in society,
and from almost every part of the State. Charles
C. Rahn, F,sq a Lawyer of Harrisburg, who pre
sided at another, took a vote withoutbeing reques
ted, and it was unanimous is favor of Prohibition.
Of that meeting, the Whig State Journal says "the
spacious Court Room was crowded to its utmost
capacity by a highly fashionable and intelligent au
dience. It was a most enthusiastic and triumphant
demonstration of THE PEOPLE in favor of Prohibi
tion." His representations of the timidity of the
people are so evidently untrue, that I am surprised
that he should make them. The press generally has
been closed against the advocates of prohibition;
while it has had all the moral courage that was
needful, and a little more. The papers of Lancas
ter, published the proceedings of a nameless meet
ing of " Innkeepers, resident in the city of Lances
ter," threatening our Court, on no other authority
than their publication in the Press and Republican.
A review of these proceedings, which they were
requested to publish, they .had the moral courage
not to notice. In all seriousness, I ask, why all
this spleen at the Ministers 7 Your correspondent
only follows the geteral course in opposing the
Maine Law. le there no other argumen,tthat they,
to carry their point, should attack the motives and
endeavor to create prejudice against Ministers?—
There is a reason for this course, and it is by no
means creditable to those who adopt it, or to the
cause which they espoush. save the-Ministers of
this country ever been found any where else than
on the side of morality and humanity ? Shame on
the man who would traduce them. A most inter
esting question presents itself, justhere. Why are
the Ministers,,not only the most prominent, but
nearly alone in the public advocacy of prohibition?
Why are not other 'public speakers equally promi
nent? The answer is plain, and it entirely refutes
all that " X X" has said about the intimidation - of
the people. No other class of men, dare take a similar
position. Will the Politicians ? They are afraid of
the political power of the liquor sellers. Will the
Lawyers I They would soon learn that clients
would be acar - e. Will the Merchants? The liquor
sellers would not deal with them. Will the Me
chanics 7 Their customers would be offended.—
Such has been the overwhelming influence of the
liquor traffic, that but few of any class of business
men could afford to provoke opposition, and bear
the results. It fs fortunatp fps the interests of
bleeding and down-trodden humanity, that there is
one class of men, who are out of the reach of this
influence. Ministers must do this work, or it will
remain'undone. The community in spite of the
sneers of "X X" will do them justice and hold
them in higher honor as the advocates of human
right's. Whei public opinion is sufficieatly reform
ed to protect the advocates ofprohibitionithen there
will be no lack of speakers. In some parts of the
State, this is already the case—soon it will be uni
versal. But, is it wrong fo': Mir' eters to address
pointedly even members of our Legislature? Do
not the liquor-sellers bore them most unmercifully
and threaten beside t Shall a committee of Law
yers be sent to Harrisburg to procure a law, to pre
vent our County Commissioners from building a
Court House where they please; and Ministers be
debarred from advocating the riE,hts of innocent
women and children 7 Have we no right to advo
cate the claims of humanity and religion, both of
which are suffering beyond all description from this
awfdl scourge? We will let the people judge and
abide the result. 'The argument of "X X," will
meet with•but little favor hom Intelligent farmers.
Facts are against him.' A: very intelligent and re
spectable man, raised in Lancaster county, remark
ed to me, after reading his articles to farmers—"lt
is all fallacious; I remember when there were six
times as many distilleries as there are now, and
corn sold atthirty-three cents. Now, with one-sixth
of the distilleriei t and a much larger amount of
corn raised, the price is fifty-five cents. Facts are
stubborn things." I wish to Bee the subject of pro
hibition discussed on its merits, without appeals to
prejudice or personal abuse; I therefore propose
to prove that the traffic of intoxicating liquors as a
beverage ought to be prohibited. P. COOMBE.

the delegates from this State to the Baltimore Con

the Deinocratic Nominee for the People's votes as

by a long and consistent public career, which has
been marked throughout by unusual ability and in
corruptible integrity.—. New York'Morning Star.
Weo Ha is l—lt'appears that JACOB Holmium,
the-Whig nominee for the office of Canal Commis
sioner' is a Reading lawyer. The Whigs have a
great disposition to run after lawyers when they
want candidates, and seem to think that no person,
unless he carries a green hag, is fit to fill an office.
The nominee of the Democratic party, Mr. Sss

man—who thoroughly understands the wants, and
knows how to promote the interests of the people
