Although his profes sional and legislative career proved him to I ,se a de voted and valuable member, it is , ag a judge-that he has been most distinguished. He is just and fears not. In his hands, the scales of justice are held firmly and even. The confidence of the people, whose interest have been con fi ded. to his judicial care,-is unbounded; and the respect felt for the pro found and just jurist is only "equalled by esteem for his private virtues, unspotted integrity and amiable manners. The Hon. Ephraim Banks, the Democratic can didate for Auditor General of Pennsylvania, is 'of Scotch Irish descent, and of good, old revolutionary stock. His grandfather, James Banks, was'a Scotch man, and fought at Braddock's Field under Waeh ington, and afterwards resided in York county, where his lather, Gen. James Banks, was born. His grandfather, with his family about 1772, moved to Lost Creek 'Valley, then Cumberland, afterwards Mifflin, how Juniata county, Pennsylvania His maternal grandfather, Robert Nelson, was an Irish man, and lost a valuable estate lying in Juniata county, by his devotion to the cause if Indepen dence.

The Map is on a large scale, embracing from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, and extending from the 50thiiirallel of north latitude to South America, and within seven de grees of the equator.

Ephriam was born and raised upon the land. purchased by his grandfather Banks, in 1772. The family business was farming, and he was instruct ed in that business, and followed it until he •was about sixteen years of age. Having obtained the best education the country' and village schools in the neighood afforded, and acquired some knowl edge of mathematics and surveying; he practiCed surveying occasionally with the then Deputy of the county, and was afterwards engaged in storekeep ing, and other pursuits; until he was , appointed Pro thonotary and Clerk of the several Courts in Mifflin county, by Gov. Findlay, in 1818. Before, and allout the time of his appointment, he held several military offices, and among them the office of Col onel. Finding, by the opportunity the office of Pro. tlaonotary afforded him . , that the legal profession Was better suited to his taste than any other busi ness he could qualify hiinself for, he read law, as a student, under the direction of the late Alexan der H. Anderson, Esq., one of the most accomplish ed members of the bar in the county, and was ad mitted to practice during the administration of Gov. Heieter. In 1828, he was elected a member of the House of Representatives, and was twice re-elected. For the first year of his service he was on the Commit tees on Estates and Escheats, and on the Judiciary, and for the second and third years, chairman of the Judiciary Committee. For the period of his ser vice in the House, no one enjoyed more of the kind ness and respect of his fellow members. While acting independently himself, according to his own judgment, he always treated respectfully the opin ions and actions of others. During his term. of service in the House, he was associated with Judge Morgan, Cadwalader Evans and John Blair who had been members before, and as far back as in 1793, apd others of equal capac ity and much experience, and enjoyed their favor personally and politically. . He was afterwards elected a member of the Con vention to amend the Constitution of the State,and was a, zealous and efficient 'ieformer of that talent ed and respected body. Perhaps no member stood fairer with his fellow-members than' did Ephriam Banks. If he was not so brilliant as some, he was always judicious. If he did not startle his' friends by scintillations of wit and exhibitions of learned knowledge, he never failed to sustain himself as a man of mind and manners. From the time he served in the Reform Conven tion until his present term of service as Auditor General commenced, he devoted himself to the bus iness of his profession as a lawyer, and the affairs of the community in which he resides as a useful citizen; and during the period•of his service as Au ditor General, he has proved himself to be efficient and faithful to the interests of the Commonwealth, as well as courteous and plelsant in reference to bus iness transactions. Mr. Banks is a man of family. His eldest son is a succeasful lawyer in Hollidaysburg. His second son died in San Francisco, in October, 1848, where he had located as a lawyer, with very flattering prospects. His third son was in all the battles near the city of Mexico, under Scott and Worth, and is now a practising physician. He has other and younger children. The leading traits of his character - are caution and firmness of purpose. His mind is clear and logical; and he is always ready to prefer that which is practical and useful to that which is speculative ann uncertain. Hon. J Porter Brawley, the candidate for Survey or General, was born in Randolph township, Craw ford county, Pennsylvania, on the sth of Novem• ber, 1818. 129,286 19,627) He entered Allegheny College in the . spring. of 1837, where he, graduated with the highest honors of that Institution in 1840. On leaving college, he was elected to the House of Representatives of Penn sylvania, in 1841, and re•elected in 1842. Mr. Brawley was a very , active and efficient member of the House while he occupied a seatin that body, though he was the youngest member on the floor. During his first year of service, he was chairman of the Committee to apportion the State, and for the second year a member of the Congressional Ap• portionment Committee, both of which positions were exceeningly important and laborious. He was also chairman of the Committee on:Pensions' and Gratuities during his second term. In 1844 he was nominated for Senator in the Crawford Co. Convention, but declined the nomination in theDis-' trict. Convention, after having been adhered to by his friends through two ,hundred and eighty-seven ballots, in order to compromise the conflicting claims of the two counties. In 1847 he was nom inated for the Senate, and elected by a large vote. He maintained a very honorable standing in that dignified body. He was a member of the Commit tee on the Judiciary, chairman of the Committee On Corporations, on Estates and Escheats, and on the Militia. He, was an industrioUlind talented Sena tor, warmly devoted to the ; interests of his ,cOnsiik uents. In the session of 1849,, Mr. - Bromley was nomi nated by the Democratic members of the Semite for. Speaker of that body, but was defeated by a single vote. In 1850, Mr. Boriiley was .nominated by the, Democratic State, 'Convention for-the Office of Sur , ' veyor General of the Commonwealthi, and was elec ted. He was'Aigain nominated,for the same effiCe by the late fourth of March tanVention, and is .at, I present theDemdcratic nominee.

He was appointed. Deputy Attorney General, and was a faithful offcer. When the Administration changed he'resigned. Mr. Brawley is afirm - and unflinching Democrat - During his legislative career, although •a . young man, he 'did not, we believe, give a single vote that incurred the disapprobation of the party. 'He is af &hie and popular in his manners, and is possessed ' of great kindness and generosity of disposition. As a man and a politician he has always enjoyed the I friendship and confidence of those with whom he .7 been . limately associated. • -1 ; .. e : 7 .Thonuth Ef.,_ - . th, the _nominee f. -:i g':'- 1 C , ~" ;oner " . ..., m •. , .- a_ ~. - .lit _ . cit ' P ''''.,-- . - -,:. - -,-^,--.: - few, li v - /''', , , 0 ~,, rn • :i""- ly, J.-.. . - •.. .. i'"'' acti ,;,5 -.". •- le ' ,-- -:. .F..'...th is . abo 't ty y ;;; of :r„, .'

French news the New York Herald makes the following comments: " Among a parcel of old government lumber re• cently ordered to be sold, at auction to the highest bidder, in Paris, was the identical guillotine of the horrible Reign of Terror, and the basket belonging .to it, into which the heads of its victims—lfrorn ten to a,hundred per day--dropped, under the bloody system of Robespierre, including the head of that heartlesafiutcherlirnsell: -- This-hurribttrutachinec framvwork, sliding-knife, and basket, certified by a goVernment officer, were sold at pablic atiefion; De fore an immense crowd of spectators, forfittifrancs and directly after the articles were con/mined to a bonfire ' amid the cheers of the people ..

Bavr&a OITZDADE—ROBBERT AND ATTEMPTED Muansa--Early on Tuesday morning last a Ger man man named John Smith, who had been work ing atthe furnaces now being erected .by the Messrs. Grubb, was found lying on a step, in Front street, opposite Canal Basin, in a most pitiable condition. He was taken to' the office M.J. W. Fisher, Esq., where he made a statement substantially as fol. lows:—He said that about midnight, as he was on his way to the public house where he boarded, he was attacked by three men, who after robbing him of all, the money he had (about fifteen dollars,) stabbed him and beat him, and then threw him in • to the canal—doubtless under tae impression that he was dead. He managed, however, to get out of the water—how, is certainly a mystery—and laid all night at the place where he was found in the morning. He had no idea of who the persons were further than they were Germans. He was bruised very badly—his face was so much swollen-that he could scarcely see—and he had been stabbed' in three different places. He was taken. to- the .Hos pital in the Afternoon by Constable Gilbert. Who the perpetrators of this gross outrage are seems to be wrapped in mystery. We hope they may be found out. . . - • • P. S.—Since the above was written two broth- ers, named Shoemaker, have been arrested for the brutal assult on Smith. They had a hearing before J. W.

In jfn day,,' 12, he iippeared with his succes- Moaniliire4on the elevated and spacious erni rtitif - Ofthe 9 il4 . o 4,0 one of the citizens who to witness the inauguration of the new Presides An . d no way aistinguished from them, ex -4 cept by his place on the left hand of the President elect. The day was beautiful—clear sky, balmy, .vernatatatMeanquil•- atmosiatere, and. the assem blage immense. On loot, in the large area in front of the steps, orderly without troops, and ,closely wedged together, their faces turned to the portico presenting to the beholders from all theeaatern windowa the appearance of a field, paved with hu man faces—this vast crowd remained riveted to their places, and profoundly silent, until the care .monywatdiranguration was over. It was .the still ness andailence of reverence and.iarection, and there was tiiiixibriilor - mistake as' to whom this mute and impressive - ,homage was rendered. For once, the rising was eclipsed by the setting MM. Tho' .diarobed dl power, and retiring to the shades of pri vate life, it was evident that, the great ex-President was, the Absorbiog object of this intense regard. At the - oiornent:thit,he begatalto descend the broad steps of the portico to take his seat in the - open car riage which was to bear him away, the deep, re pressed-feeling of the dense mass broke forth, Sc. climations anti cheers bursting from the heart and filling the air—such as 'power never commanded, nor man in power ever received. It was the affec tion, gratitude and admiration of the living, ege, sa luting-for the leaf time a great man. It was the acelaimot posterity, breaking from the bosoms of contemporaries. it was the anticipation of futurity —unpurchaseable homage to the hero-patriot who, all his life, and in all the circumstances of his life, in peace and in war, and glorious in each, had been the friend of his country, devoted to her, regardless of self. Uncovered and bowing, with a look of un affected humility and thankfulness, he acknowl edged in mute signs his deep sensibility to thicaf fecting overflow of popular feeling. ll was looking „down from a side window, and felt an emotion which had never passed through me before. 1 I had seen the inauguration of many Presidents, and their going away, and their, days of state, vest ed with power and surrOunded!by the splendors of the first magistracy of a great republic. But 'they all appeared to me as pageants, brief to the view, unreal to the touch, and soon to vanish. But here there seemed to be a reality—a real scene—a man and the people—he, laying down power and with drawing through the portals of everlasting fame; they, sounding in his ears the everlasting plaudits of unborn generations. Two days atter, I saw the patriot ex-President in the car which bore him off to his desired seclusion. I saw him depart with that look of quiet enjoyment which bespoke the in ward satisfaction of the soul at exchanging the cares of office for the repose of home. History, poetry, oralory, marble and brass will hand down the mil- itary exploits of Jackson; this work will commem orate the events of his civil administration, not less glorious than his military achievements, great as they were; and this brief notice of his last appear, inice at the American capitol is intended to preserve some faint memory of a scene, the grandeur of which was so impressive to the beholder, and the solace of which must have been so grateful to the heart of the departing patriot. Eight years afterwards he died at the Hermitage, in the full possession of all his faculties, and strong to the last in the ruling passion of his soul—love of country. Public history will do justice to his pub lic life; but a further.notice is wanted of him—a notice of the domestic man—ol the man at home, with his wife, his friends, his neighbors, his slaves; and this I feel some qualification for giving, from my long and varied acquaintance with him. First, his intimate and early friend—then a rude rupture —afterwards friendship and intimacy for twenty Years, and until his death, in all, forty years of per sonal observation, i—the double relation of friend and foe, and in all the walks of life, public and pri vate, civil and military. TH E New POSTMASTER GENERAL—We are glad to see the Whig papers abusing so violently our new Postmaster General. Their abuse will be— es Tyler said of the bonfires which burnt him in' effigy for destroying the main stay of the whig party, the United States Bank—but a lamp to guide him in the path of duty. He is a thorough Demo crat, and an active and skillful public officer. He knows his obligations to the country and to the democratic party, and dare discharge them. Since the organization of our government, no man who has been in office so short a time has learned all the various duties of his complicated office so well. Under him, Assistant Postmasters General, clerks, and special agents, can never be partners with mail contractors as they have been' heretofore. Ardent spirits cannot bßcharged to the department as oil. Distributing post office clerks will have fixed sala ries with him, instead of being allowed to vouch for themselves for themselves for all the proceeds of distribution, and then give the postmaster half. Under r him, postmasters have got to report the failure of contractor; and attend to the duties of their offices in person. He is looking out for the abuies that crept into the department under the whigs in all directions. He is just the man for the place—an honest, through-going, hard-workihg public officer; and if he keeps on as he has begun, he will.,fank among the most popular men in the country. We know of no man who could fill his place better, and would look upon his retirement as a public calamity.—Chicago Democrat. Tun lizi.sAss or Kozsra.—The Albany Knick erbocker says it was rumored in that city that " an agreement had been made between Mr..
