A New Kind of Democracy!
To abuse Governor BIGLER, Postmaster General
CAMPBELL, President Pianos and Mr. &Truman,
is the only evidence certain persons and presses
give of their adhesion to the Democratic party. The
guise is too transparent, however, to hide the ugly
form of the animal ;—the long ears ever and anon
will protrude. This is that peculiar kind of De
mocracy which is so well pleasing to Federal Whig
gery—hence their sayings are quoted readily and
with great gusto by the organs of the enemy. The
people should keep a watch over the conduct of
these rotten politicians. They smile but to betray,
and have doubtless received their "thirty pieces of
silver," as the quid pro quo for their treacherous as
saults upon prominent Democrats, and their indi
rect advhcacy of the Whig candidates during the
present campaign. An open, manly foe will al
ways command respect; but treachery, whether
open or secret, deserves, as it invariably receives,
the scorn and detestation of honest men of all par
ties. Hence, the Whigs may love the treason, but
'the honest men among them must despise the trai.

The Crystal Palace.
The indomitable BinNuse has taken hold of this
establishment with his accustomed energy, and
will have it reopened formally on the 4th of May
ensuing. He hris had it completely renovated and.
reatted 7 and it ;will re-commence under most fa•
vorable auspices, having been relieved of the debts
which ‘ have heretofore hampered the concern. In
ventors and others throughout the country are ear•
neatly invited to co-operate with the Directors in
forwarding, at an early day, to the Palace at New
York, for exhibition, their Models, works of Art,
improved Fabrics, or other Industrial achievemerhs,
so that desirable positions and ample space may
be accorded them.'
From the energy with which BARNIJIK and his
coadjutors have commenced operations, we cannot
doubt that the Palace will Tresent vastly increased
attractions the present season over last year, and
yield a rich harvest to the stockholders. It is em
phatically a great American enterprise, and de
serves the patronage and encouragement of every
friend of his country: Arrangements are being
made with the different Railroad and Steamboat
companies leading to New York, by which visitors
will be conveyed there at greatly reduced rates of
travel.

The cloud of war, says the Baltimore Tines,
which has hung dark and threatening over Europe,
stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea, has
burst at length in all its violence. Russia has cross.
ed swords with the Western Powers a* Turkey,
and calls into hostile, life her hordes of adventn
rous barbarians, and lets loose upon civilized Eu
rope the horrors and devastation qt a religious war.
The military force, of Turkey and her allies, have
concentrated to: defend the Principalities, while
Great Britain has sent to the Baltic the largest na
val armament that has ever left English shores.—
It is a sublime spectacle to see this movement of
nations, upon• which depends the destiny of Europe
It is enough to make Napoleon and Wellington
turn in' their graves, and start forth from their
tombs. 'lt stirs men's blood to think upon. 'lt whets
the rusty s words of warriors and revolutionists,
and hastens the impeding crisis which is to verify
or set at naught the prophecy of Napoleon. The
I neutrality of Prussia and. Austria secures the en
tire Western line of Russia. The Czar can only
be attacked by transported forces, and then through
the Baltic and the Black Sea. The naval prepara
tion of England is imMense, and to it Russia can
offer little or no resistance. The mamtime fortifi
cation in the Northern seas, now held by Russia,
will be stormed and carried, and the British fleet
will advance victorious upon the Emperor's coasts
St. Petersburg will fall and perhaps be fired. In
the Black Sea the same 'brilliant success will fol
low the allies. The Russians will be driven back
from the Pricipalities, and compelled to retreat in
absolute defeat, or fall back upon interior reinforce
ments. All this, and even more, England and France
will do. Yet, after all this, how little is done !
There stands the collossus of the North, bestriding
the world, almost insensible of the puny attacks
and small achievements of the dwarfed powers.—
The English and French forces, leaving the Baltic
and Black Sea, may meet in Moscow; they may
traverse the dreary wastes of Russia; may penetrate
into the unknown dominions of the Autocrat, and
come back victorious, and yet, what has been done
to conquer Russia? The United States, with less
than three millions of people, badlyprovided, resist
ed for seven years and triumphantly, the entire
power of England. How absurd then to talk of
England and France conquering Russia. For their
success will alone be in conquest. Russia must be
subjected; for neither of the allied powers can sus
tain in •readiness (or five or ten years, the force nec
essary to preserve the nationality of Turkey. And
Russia can, by acting on the defensive, prolong this
war ten, twenty or fifty years, without serious
harm.
In the meanwhile the republican element of
France, Spain, Italy-and Germany will ferment
and break out anew, in domestic revolution. Down
trodden Ireland may strike at last a deadly blow
at her heartless oppressor. England may find at
home ample employment for her military and na.
val power. The people of Europe may not bear
any particular love towards the Czar, but they de
test their own immediate oppressor with a deadly
and unrelenting hatred. They have dreamed of in
tervention by this country, but they will find it
now coming from Russia. The struggle which be
gins between the Governments of France and Eng
land as the allies of Turkey, will end in a contest
between the people of the Western Powers and
their own rulers, leaving the Czar and the Porte to
settle their quarrels single handed and alone. The
issue of this struggle no one can doubt. The only
hope of success for the Western Powers, is in do
mestic tranquility and the subjection of Russia.—
Both are impossible. At the first light of war,Eu
rope will he in a blaze. The people will rise and
attempt to gain their independence, during the gen
eral conflict. The subjection of Russia is simply
an impossibility. The force necessary to restrain
her even, will exhaust the entire resources of the
Western Powers, and leave them, alter a conflict
offive or ten years,perfectly prostrate and complete
ly bankrupt. The interruption of trade alone, in
cident to this war, will every day weaken England'
It is the last desperate struggle of Greet Britain to
retain her supremacy in the East. The trade of
India was threatened by the movement of the Czar
upon Turkey, and it is this which actuates 'perfid
ious'Albion,' to assist the butchers of Greece. Once
in possession of Constantinople, and Russia assumes
the unlimited empire of the East. That wrested
from Great Britain, and her power wanes. The al
ternative was a fearful one, but with that clear
ness and courage which has ever marked the histo
ry of , England, the annihilation of Russian influ
end' in Europe, and the subjection or intimidation
of the Czar was determined on. Russian influence,
nevertheless, holds Prnssia and Austria neutral. It
will be seen whetlier the Czar is to be intimidated
or subjected. The struggle will be a long and fear
ful one, and the closing scene in the drama which
lis to decide the fate of kings and the destiny of Re
publican freedom in Europe. Frorn''out this strug
gle, Europe will emerge Cossack or Republican.

Anotliel FaLsehood Refuted.
There seems to be a systematic organization kept
ap ki certain interested quarters to decry the man
agementmf the public works, and especially of the ,
Columbia Railroad. The design of the whole thing
is to prejudice the people against the road itsell
and the excellent officers having charge of it, and
thus force it into market at a ruinous sacrifice.—
The latest attempt of the kind will be understood
by reading the following article, copied from the
York Democratic Press of last week:
We frequently hear charges preferred against
the management of the Philadelphia and Columbia
Railroad, which may be generally attributed to a
class of persons who are familiarly known by the
sobriquet of "Barkers," and who frequent the public
bar-rooms. A certain class of newspapers are also
always ready to give a printed expression to the
sentiments of these gentlemen, provided their ser
vices are properly appreciated! The following from
the Harrisburg Item, is a specimen of the"tactics"
to which we have just alluded:
The occurrences, many of which are fatal in the
result, should be suppressed in some shape or form.
It was only a day or two since, that a serious cal
amity occurred on the Pennsylvania Railroad be
tween this place and Philadelphia, by which one
human life was lost, and yet on Saturday night I
and Wednesday night a gross, negligent, and seem
ing determined detention'of trains was evident be-,
tween the above named places—On Saturday
night the train was detained two hours and up
-wards, ariff on Thursday morning some two hours.
The cars were shamefully crowded with pas
sengers many of whom were compelled to
stand from the time they left the depot at Phila
delphia, until they reached Harrisburg, where,
• without any regard for their comfort, the train
was dashed on at a fearful speed, in order to make
up the time lost on the 'lower end.' This Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company is indifferent either to
limb or life and some of its agents or conductors
are totally unfit for the discharge of the important
positions they occupy.
As the writer of this article was agent of the
train on each of the nights designated by the item,
he takes occasion to say that the train on Saturday
night the Bth inst., arrived at Dillerville, the termi
nus of the State Road, only fifteen minutes behind
schedule time. The train on Wednesday, the 12th
inst., it is true, was some two hours behind the
usual time, in conseqence of some of the machinery
in the Engine being impaired, and-not from any in-
attention on the part of those having the train in charge,
as the article in the Item would lead the public to
believe. The assertion that the cars were so much
crowded as to compel a large number of passen
gers to stand from Philadelphia to Harrisburg,
without regard to their comfort, on the part of the
conductor, we will pronouce an unqualified false
hood. There were some fifteen or twenty vacant
seats in the hindmost car, and several persons were
directed to take seats in that car. The conductor of
the train was Capt. Join( McVET , well and favor
ably known along the whole line, as one of the
most efficient ar.d persevering officers on the road,

ET The 'CONTINENTALS' gave one of their in•
imitable Concerts, to a very full h3use, at FUlton
Hall, on Wednesday evening.
Film—The Soap and Candle Factory of Mr.
William Taylor, situate south of Vine street, be.
tween South Queen and Prince streets, in this city,
was destroyed by fire on Thursday night last, about
12 o'clock. The loss to Mr. T. is severe, as he bad
no insurance on his stock. Two or three stables
'contiguous were also destroyed, and a dwelling or.
cupted by colored people was much damaged. It
is not known how the fire originated.
A new township, taken from Elizabeth, has been
organized in the northern part of this county, to be
called CLAY. Hereafter, the elections for Clay will
be held at Durlach, the old place ;—those for Eliz
abeth will be held at Brickersville. A special elec
tion will be held at both those places on the sec
ond Friday of May next, to fill vacancies in the
boards of township officers. The Pennvillo elec
tion district, composed of parts of Penn and Eliz
abeth townships, has been abolished by the act of
the Legislature.
QUARTER SESSIONS
Last week our Court was niainly occupied with
the Criminal Calendar. The following are the
most important cases disposed of:
Commonwealth vs. Geo. Hoppius.—lndictment,
horse stealingdefendant plead guilty—sentenced
to pay the usual line of onedollar, and suffer im
prisonment four years at hard labor.
Commonwealth vs. the same.—lndictment, high
way robbery—plea, not guilty—verdict guilty—
sentenced to pay a fine of one dollar, and suffer
three years imprisonment, to commence at the ex
piration of the former sentence.
Commonwealth vs. Amos Clemson.—The Grand
Jury prefered seven bills of indictment against
the defendant for keeping a tippling house; to whic
he plead guilty, and on each he was sentenced to
pay a fine of sixty dollars and costs.
Commonwealth vs. the same.—Surety of the
peace, on complaint of Brooks. It was
thought that there were not sufficient grounds to
warrant a binding over. He was therefore dis
charged, and county for costs. He was held
to bail in the sum of $4OOO for his appearance at
the August term, to answer the charge of Arson.
John Youtz—Larceny. Plea guilty. Fined $1
and two months imprisonment.
Abraham . Keller—Larceny. Plea guilty. Fined
$1 with costs, and four months imprisonment.
Adam Ketterlow—This deft. was indicted for
keeping a disorderly house—a Lager .establish
meat in this city. The evidence showed that the
language and conduct tolerated in the house, was
not creditable even .in a Lager shop. Verdict
guilty. Sentenced to pay a fine of $75, with costs
of prosecution.
Andrew Jackson Remig—Larceny. The record
of the Court was put in evidence to prove insanity;
and although there was no testimony before the
jury to rebut the presumption of insanity, they re
turned a verdict of guilty, and the Court sentenced,
him to one year imprisonment with the usual fine
and costs.
John Frankford—This lad was indicted for the
larceny of a quantity of brass castings from the
Machine Shop of Messrs. Fellenbaum. The in
dictment laid the castings as the property of Da
vid Fellenbaum, while the testimony proved them
to be the property of the firm I. & D. Fellenbaum.
On account of this flaw in the indictment, the jury
were instructed to return a verdict of not guilty,
and the Court discharged John with good advice,
which he will not soon forget,
Jacob Greer—Larceny—stealing a box aegars of
from H. C. Demuth. Plea guilty. Sentenced to 5
months imprisonment.

To our virtues very kind,

There are thousands on the other side of t,

the highest and proudest marks of dis
which it was in her power to bestow.
May he long live to enjoy it! Certain
that the penalty denpunced by the motto of
ter will never reach' either his hand or hi.
And here I ought, perhaps, to stop. We hai
taught that after dinner speeches are dan

that I should proceed no further. It, hovveit ;
public dinner given to Lord Elgin, as Gov-i
of Canada, I should:make no reference to
its, I should expose myself to the condemi
my own countrymen. Under his enlightened gov
ernment her Majesty's North American .Tvinces
have realized the blessings of a wise, prud nt and
prosperous administration, and we of the neighbor
ing nation, though jealous of our rights, have rea
son to be abundantly Satisfied with his jfist and
friendly conduct towards ourselves. (Hear.) .) He
i l
has known how to reconcile his devotion to her
Majesty's service with a proper regard tot e
and interests of the kindred & neighboring people.
Would to Heaven we had such Governors-getineral in
all the European colonies inthe vicinity of the U. States.
His lordship has solved one of the mostfficult
problems of statesmanship. He has been a le, suc
cessfully and satisfactorily to administer, amidst
many 'difficulties, a colonial government over a
free people. (Hear.) This is an easy tass. Where
the commands of a despot are law to his 3bedient
subjects; but not so in a colony where the people
feel that they possess the rights and priv leges of
native-born Britons. And . now what shall I say iu
reply ? Had I not imagined that my owr humble
instrumentality might contribute in some s mall de
gree to remove existing causes of dissensions be
tween the two. countries, and to confirm land per
petuate their mutual friendship, I should not have
enjoyed the privilege of addressing you thls day as
n
the ministeol my country. (Cheers.) ft is my
earnest desire that the two nations, kindred as they
are in point of blood, should be equally kindred in
each other's affections. And why should they not
be ? We have many free principles in Fornmon
which it would be tedious to enumerate; we' speak
the same language, we read the same bdoks, and
we both enjoy a free press; without which liberty
in any country would soon become an empty name.
We claim your old masters to:be our property as
much as yours, and thank God, our people' are able
to read and appreciat them. Every child born in
most of our States has he same right to 'receive a
good and useful crimmo school education as to
breathe his .native air, or to drink groin his native
fountains. Why, then, should any jealciusy exist
between us? There have never been two nations
on the face of the earth whose material interests
are so clearly identified. (Hear, hear.)
Commercially speaking, the progress of the
United States has proved nearly as beneficial to
Great Britain as to ourselves. The extension of
our possessions on the continent of America, from
the purchase of Louisiana to the present mement—,
an exteneion which has been accomplished, what
ever may be said to the contrary, upon pure prin
ciples of honor and justice—has in the very same
degree extended British commerce and ;manufac
tures. Though not, blessed with a poetic; imagina
tion, I look forward with confident hope lo the day
when the English language , which is the language
of Christian, civil and political freedom, wilt be
the language of the larger portion of thelinhabita
ble globe. No people speaking this language can
ever become the willing instruments of despotic
power. These great results in the destiny of the
future, are to be peacefully accomplished in the
energy, enterprise, and indomitable perseverance
of the British and American races. I do notconfine
myself to the Anglo-Saxon race alone,
because a
large, respectable, and useful portion of the popu
lation of my country have sprung from 'the Irish,
the German, and other Europeans stocks. lam
myself, whatever may be my merits or my faults,
the son of a native born Irishman, and I am proud
of my descent. With your indulgent. Patience, I
shall advert to one other topic before I take my
seat. I cannot suffer this occasion to pass, without
expressing my gratification with her Majesty's wise
and liberal declaration in favor of neutral 'commercial
rights during the existing war. It was Worthy of
the civilization of the nineteenth century, and
worthy of the best constiutionalsovereigY who has

EXICIITITE
Harrisburg,. April, 19;1854. .1
To theZenate'roui House of &pram:fag* -
GrarrxExaa :—I return to the Senate, in which
it originated) bill No. 138, entitled "An act regu
lating the general meetings and elections of the
York County Bank,•' without the Executive sanc
tion. ' •
The object of the proposed act is to modify the
laws or rules regulating- the institution, so as to
entitle each share of stock to a vote. '`
The history of this bank is somewhat peculiar.
It was originally a savings' institution, and the
scale of voting was fixed by its by-laws; but by an
act approved April 10, 1849, it was converted in
to a bank of issue, "subject to all the provisions,
restrictions and conditions of 'An act extending the
charter of the bank 01 Montgomery county, af
prOved ..prit 7, 1849,' " excepting the first section.
. Under' the act of 25th March, 1824, by which
the bank of. Montgomery county was originally in
corpOrated, the principle of limitation upon the
right to. vote is applied, and it is provided that,
"the !number of votes to which each stockholder
shall! be entitled, shall be according to the number
of shares he or she shall hold, in the proportions
following, that is to say: for each share of stock
not exceeding two shares, one vote; tor every share
1 ahoy - two and not exceeding ten shares, one vote;
for e ery four shares above ten and 'not exceeding
thir , one vo:e; for every ten shares above thirty
and lot exceeding fifty, one vote; but no share or
nu b,r of shares above fifty shall 'confer any ad
dltio al right of suffrage. The same provision is
repe: ted in the general law of 1850, and thus has
beenl established an uniform syitem of voting; a
rule
~f principle applicable to all the banks in the
.rrimonwealth, and so far as I have been able to
discover, has been strictly observed from 1824 up
to the present time.
It is not, in my Opinion, material td determine
whether the scale of voting, as now found in the
York County Bank, derived its origin and.authori
ty from the general law of 1824, through the me
dium of the "act re-chartering the bank of Mont
gomery county," or from the by-laws of the origi
nal institution; for under either, the limitatioa on
the right to vote and the relative position of the

stockholders are almost identical. But, admitting
the latter construction as the true one, the fact fur
nishes no reason for legislative interposition. lithe
restriction sought.to be removed has been imposed
by the voluntary 'action of the stockholders, It is
an additional reason against the proposed
rendered doubly forcible by the remonstrance of a
laige majority of the present parties in Interest.
That the limitation on the power of capital over
mind, as found iu toe acts of 1824 and 1860, is a
wise and necessary restriction, justified by experi
ence and sound yublic policy, will not, I think, be
denied. Without such principle the immense pow
ers of money, operating through the agency of bank
ing' institutions, where capital is ever active and
accumulating, might become concentrated in the
hands'ot the few. It can readily be perceived t hat,
in the absence ot such a restriction the affairs ot a
bank; its discounts, loans and accommodations
might be managed and swayed by a very small
number, of stockholders. Indeed, a single person
repfesenting-a majority of the shares of stock. could
shape at.il 'fashion the directory of a bank to suit
his own views; could elect and depose Its officers,
accommodaffi and punish whom fie pleased; and in
short, could prostitute the franchises granted to the
institution for great public ends, to accomplish the
most selfish or arbitrary purposes, .
It is no argument in favor of the proposed mea
sure to say, that thelman of large means in a bank
should stand equal with him of smaller investment
in the scale of control which the ivliole capital con
fers. The answer is, that the man who is only
able to bold his ten Or twenty shares of stock, will
watch the true interests of the, institotion with as
clear a judgement as the more fortunate capitalist.
who finds himself iu a condition to own hugdreds
of shares. Neither is it a sound argument to say,
that this rest' ictlon on the right ot stockholders
has not been uniformly applied to railroads and
other corporations. The entire organization and
purposes of an association to construct a public
highway. or to promote some great public meas
ure, are essentially different from those of a bank
of issue; and without pausing to inquire whether
the restriction could be wisely applied to all, it can
tieadily be perceived why it is so eminently proper
in.a bank where the. power ot capital is so com
pletely concentrated, and ever so active and potent.
The most thorough examination of the subject
has not, therefore, enabled me to discover a suffi
cient reason for the proposed innovation. upon a
policy which has been so Jong, so uniformly, and
as I believe, so advantageously observed. In ad
dition to the evils which such a measure might en
tail upon the business community and the banks
themselves, it :must be apparent that ithe moral
tendency would be to substitute capital for intel
lect and business capacity in the control and direc
tion 01 these institutions.
Presented to my mind as a mere local affair con
fined to a single bank, acceptable to the parties in
interest, confident that no wrong is contemplated
in this instance, and in the absence of a full know
ledge of the uniform policy and the general laws
upon the subject, my first inclination was to yield
to the wishes of those who desired the measure.—
But a very slight reflection upon the prin
ciples involved in the bill, the perusal of a re
monstrance presented to me by over severity out of
a list, of ninety-eight stockholders represented
as owning a majority of the shares of the bank, at
once removed all doubts as to thelrequirements of
duty, and I have discharged them most in accord
ance with the dictates of conscience and judgment,
by withholding my sanction frcirrithe proposed law.

Frauxun Loss or LIFE.—The effects of the late
storm along our sea coast are now beginning to de
velope themselves in the most appalling and fear
ful consequences. All along the south-eastern coast
of New Jersey the storm prevailed with a violence
unequalled since the heavy storm of 1832, and as
far as we have been enabled to learn, a greater
loss of life and property has been sustained. At
Long Branch three vessels have been wrecked, and
the crew of one were entirely lost, most of them
having been frozen to death. By way of the Cam
den and Atlantic Telegraph, we have been furnish
ed with some of the particulars- of a heart-rending
and melancholy loss of life, in consequence of the
wreck of some unknown vessel. On Wednesday
evening there were upwards of fifty-five dead bodies
picked up on the beach, and as there were no ves
sels neat that were in a damaged or perilous con
dition, it was supposed the bodies must have been
frord a Liverpool packet bound to New York, and
which had gone to pieces at sea. The whole num
ber thus far recovered has been sixty. The great
est excitement prevails 'at Ablecum, and the inhab
itants are unremitting in their efforts to ascertain
the extent of the catastrophe, and to give the ill-fa
ted bodies an appropriate burial. A plank or piece
of board washed ashore, on which was painted the
word 'Staffordshire,' and as there is a vessel belonv
ing to New York bearing that name, it is supposed
that it is the one.
The packet; ship Powhatan, also belonging to
New, York, was wrecked off Long Beach, and all
hands on board, consisting of about two hundred
persons, perished. It may possibly be the passen
gers from this ill-fated vessel that are floating
ashore at Absecum, although they are about fifty
miles apart.
P. S.—Since the above was written, we have re
ceived the following private despatch, dated at 6
o'clock, P. M.
There is no clue to the vessael's name except by
the board, that has carved on it Packet Ship •Staf
ford; Liverpool, bound to Dock, 185 East River,
New York. Whether that is from the wrecked
vessel or not, I cannot say. The furl still brings
the dead bodies on shore. Total number-of bodies
reported as recovered up to 6 o'clock, 58.—phda.

113 The Sunday Dispatch of New York has
raised its price from three to four cents a copy. It
publishes a table of expenses, showing that six
years ago the present edition it now prints could
have been printed for six hundred dollars less mo
ney. The expenses are now $lO3B weekly, and
weekly losses at three cents a copy, are $3OO,
which the proprietor is barely able to make upon
advertising. The New York papers say, the only
thing that has kept hall the papers of New York
alive at all, during the past year, has been the
prosperous condition of business, and the conse
quent large amount of advertising. A single bad
season of advertising would be sufficient to break
down many of these papers. As matters now
stand, they are giving to their subscribers hundreds
of dollars every day, at the expense of advertisers.
They are in fact paying people for taking their pa

Roanierar Muanea.—One of the most brutal
murders that it has ever been our duty to record
was committed on Friday night last, about half a
mile below Milton. In the afternoon of that day
two Irish women, the youngest of whom is said to
be quite handsome, passed through Milton, as they
said from an. upper section of the Sunbury and
Erie Railroad to a section on the Cattawissa road.
On Saturday morning the body of the young girl
was found,horribly mangled, and partly burned. It is
supposed that a number of Irishmen were engaged
in this most horrid tragedy, and to conceal their
crime, had attemped to burn the body. A bloody
gash upon the forehead, and blood upon a stone
found on the spot, told plainly the means need. to
cause her death; but from marks upon the ground
near whore the fire had been, it is supposed that
life was not yet extinct when she was cast into
Vac fire, Where having been left to her fate, she had
struggled and crawled out but to die. The hellish
deed was committed within sight of a number of
farm houses, and a number saw the light, but
without imagining such a cause it was unthought
of until the next day. A box of pills, which was
identified as having been purchased in Milton by
an Irishman, was round on the spot. : Several ar-
rests were made on Saturday afternoon and eve
ning, and we sincerely trust that the perpetrator.
of this fent and attrocious deed may be convicted
and receive the punishment they so richly merit.—
