The Nebraska Bill.
The House of Representatives, at Washington,
had the Nebraska bilL before them -all last week,
but without coming to a final vote. The opponents
ot the measure fought every inch of the ground--
the consequence was that very exciting and angry
scenes occurred- The House was in session for
thirty-six consecutive hours, including all of Thurs
day night, without making any head-way. No dis
position had Yet been made of the bill at the ad
journment on Saturday. Great excitement pre.
Tailed in the Hall, and it is said that several mem
bers,on both sides were armed at the long night
It is believed, that, notwithstanding all the ef.
torts of the opposition, the bill will finally pass,
Sinus the Clayton amendment.
The Approaching Contest.
The signs of the times indicate a fiercer politi
cal struggle in Pennsylvania, than was anticipated
a few months ago. Judging from the demonstra
tions that are being made in Philadelphia and the
northern part of the State, and even in our own
city, the true•hearted Demoe-acy will again have
to contend with the fag end of all factions—em
bracing Whigs, Abolitionists, Know Nothings
alias Native Americans, and disaffected Democrats.
This tesselated party will present a formidable ar- :
ray to,contend against, and it will require the Dem
ocratic party to 6e up and doing to foil the hetero•'
genious and unprincipled coalition. That the op.
position party will be defeated we - have no doubt,
but to make the defeat more effective it requires
every Democrat in the State to buckle on his ar
mour, and be prepared to do battle fearlessly and
energetically. We have beaten all these same coati
bined factions.(under somewhat different names)
heretofore, and can do it again, if the Democracy
come-up to the work manfully and zealously ; but
there o is danger if, by our supineness or lethargy,
we permit the enemy to steal a march upon us.—
It is evident that the old Keystone is to again
be the battleground of the Nation, as it has been
on several Occasions before, we should, therefore,
prepare in time to marshal our forces for the con
flict.
We have unexceptionable men as our candidates
Democrats of undoubted integrity alai ability,
whose antecedents are all in their favor. Messrs.
13for.rn, Itsscx and Morr are men of the people,
well-tried and faithful public servants, against
whose public or private character not a word at
disparagement can be truthfully said. They have
been well tried in the balance of public opinion,
and have given general satisfaction in every posi
tion.in which they have been placed; and nothing
is wanting to ensure their success by a triumphant
majority but earnest, zealous and unceasing activ
ity on the part of the Democracy. The sooner
therefore, a thorough organization of the party is
effected, the more certain and overwhelming will
be our triumph on the secetild Tuesday of October
2 Lthe longer it is delayed, the mote fierce and des
perate will bethe contest as the day of election
approaches.
f The Whigs as a party are powerless in the
State and the Nation. They know lull well that
if they stood alone their candidate for Governor
would be beaten by fifty thousand votes—hence
they are busily engaged forming combinations and
coalitions with every ism and every faction of
which the present times are so prolific. Free
.soiters, Abolitionists, Native Americans, recreant
Democrats, &c., &c.—all are taker, to their fond
embrace in the delusive hope:that,tby such means,
•
• they will again be able to ride into power, and get
control of the purse strings of the Commonwealth.
But they will find themselves mistaken in their
calculations. The people—the honest farmers, me
chanics and working men of the country=•have
not forgotten the enormities of the Ritner and John-1
ston administraiions, nor will they be likely for a
long time to come to invest such political specula
tors and desperadoes with power. The Common
wealth is flourishing, wider Democratic rule, and
the masses will not be willing to endangerits contin
ued-pronperity by turning Democrats out andputring
Whigs in their places. The combined factions may
foam and fret, and bay and hark at Governor Bio-
Lsn and the other gentlemen associated with him
on the State ticket, but it will avail them nothing
with the people. The true Democracy of the Com
monwealth will scatter their combinations to the
winds when the day of trial arrives.
,An Error Corrected.
It is dot generally understood that Postmasters I ,
receive a greater compensation for the delivery or
Ipapers printed in their own county, than for those
in other sections of the State—and yet such is the
fact. For instance, the postag'e on a weekly pa•
per published out of the county, but any where in
the State, not exceeding one and a hall ounces in
weight, is 13 cents per annum. Fifty per centunn
or only tli cents of this g9es to the Postmasters.—
Whereas county papers, they are allowed two mills
each, from the Department, making for each paper
cents per annum—being about one-third more
than they derive from thosepapers for which some
of them take so mulch interest in getting up clubs .
linter these circumstances, as a matter of interest
to themselves, we think Postmasters throughout
Lancaster county ought to make more effort for
their own papers than they do for those which acre
printed and published abroad.
. END or Tea FlLlBlMTERS.—lntelligence brought
by the last arrival from California, confirms the
previous report of the abandonment by Walker and
his men of the ridiculous attempt to take posses
sion of. Lower California and Sonora, and of their
having started overland, by the Gila route, for
Texas.
LeoniaTrost 'sr Oazo.—At the TE , , , session of
the Ohio Legislature, laws were enacted to lease
the National road to the highist bidder for 20 years
—to sell all the stocks of the State in railroads,
canals and turnpikes—and to_ prohibit, after the
Ist of December next, the circulation of notes of
foreign'banks under $lO.
r The state Agricultural Fair will be held
this year at Philadelphia—the committee appoint

the amount of money required to secure the se
lection of that point as the locale of the exhibition.
fig - A fire occurred in Forsyth street,NeW York
on Tuesday evening last, which destioyed property
to the amount of about $35,000. Upwards of fifty
families were rendered houseless.•

Nesse'rode and Pasklevfich.
The two men upon whom the Czar of %saki
mainly, relies at this critical ittneture for the de
fence of his empire against the formidable alliance
which threatens it, are Count Charles Boberi de
Nesselrode and Ivan Ferdorrivitch Paskievitch,
Prince of Warsaw. • .
Count Neatielrode, unquestionably di) fillt states
man of Europe in point of experience and ability,
is of German extraction, and was born in 1785, in
the province of Livonia. Hi entered the career of
diplomacy in early life, and his rise was as rapid
as his abilities were great. In conjunction with
Capo he held direction of foreign affairs
in the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, until 1821, when
his colleague lett the Ministry in consequence of
the policy of Russia towards the insurgent Greeks.
Since his power and his glory have been single.—
His services in the war against Napoleon were
conspicuous. In 1819 he negotiated a treaty with
Prussia at Breslau; in the same year be concluded
a treaty of , subsidy with England at Reichenbach,
and a treaty with Austria at Teplitz. In 1814 he
was with the Emperor Alexander in France, and
signed, March 1, the quadruple alliance at Chau
mont. In the night of - March 30, he and Orloff
in behalf of Russia; Marmont on the part of France,
and Count Pear on the pact of Austria, signed the
convention for the surrender of Paris. He also
signed the peace of 1814. One of the most con
spicuous niembersiof the Ccngress of Vienna, he
delivered the famods•Russian note of December 3d,
1814, which pronounced the partition of Poland
and the cession of the principal part of Saxony to
Prussia. He signed the outlawry of Napoleon,
March 13, 1815, and he subsequently accompanied
the Emperor Alexander to the Congress of Trop
peau, Laybach and Verona. High as he stood in
the confidence of Alexander, he is not less trusted
and esteemed by the Emperor Nicholas. He con
ducted the diplomacy of the war of 1828-9, and
was indeed master of the foreign policy of the Rus
sian government, until the present dispute with
Turkey. His influence has recently suffered some
eclipse from the opposition of the old Muscovite
party under Menschikoff and the Emperor in his
confidential conversation with Sir H. Seymour, be
trayed the secret of a discrepancy of opinion be
tween himself and Nesselrode.
Count Nesselrode has manifested no want of abil
ty in conducting the controversy with the Western
Powers, as may be seen from the Manifesto in an
other part of this paper. He is a man of honor,
courage, and of attainments commensurate with
his native powers 'of intellect.
- Prince. Paskievitch is in the field what Nessel
rode is in, the Cabinet—the veteran of the Russian
service. He was born at Pul,Lowa in 1782, and is
consequently beyond the patriarchial age of three
score and ten. We might suppose it a hazardous
experiment to commit the fortunes of an empire to
so senile a soldier, if Radetsky, had not shown that
the ardor and energy of youth are not incompati
ble with the physical debility of extreme old age.
Paskievitch is in admirable preservation, display.
ing an activity and vigor fully adequate to the ex.
igencies of his position. He entered the army at
an early age, won distinction in the wars of his
country, and rose rapidly through the different mil
itary grades.to the rank of general officer in 1812
In that memorable year his valor and his conduct
were signalized especially at Smolensk and in the
bloody battle of Borodino. He was at Leipsig, and
led a division of fhe Rus'sian army into France
in the campaign of 1814. After the fall of Napol
eon, he was transferred to the East, and held a
command under General Yermalof, in the war
with Persia. He succeeded to the chief command,
nnd, by a series of brilliant victories, utterly pros
trated the power of the Shah. In the war of 18289
be compensated for the disasters of the first cam
paign. in Europe by his great achievements in Asia
Minor. , When Diebitch accomplished the passage
of the Balkan and pushed forward to Adrianople,
Paskievitch was marching on Constantinople from
the opposite direction. The moderation of the
Czar arrested their victorious armies, and prolong
ed the Ottoman dominion in Europe for a quarter
century more. For his gallant services in this war
Paskievitch was promoted to the rank of Field
Marshal. In 1831 he suppressed the revolution in
Poland, and on the pacification of the country was
made Governor General of the Kingdom with the
title of Prince of Warsaw, Which office he now fills
by proxy. In 1849 he led" a Russian army Into
Hungary, and by the victory of Debrseczin and the
subsequent pursuit of Gorgey, crushed the Magyar
revolt.
Prince Paskievitch is a brave soldier and a con
summate commander. He has the energy and in
domitable will of Suwaroff, with far higher strate
gic talents and attainments. Like Nesselrode„he
possesses tne unbounded confidence and affection of
his Sovereign. Of this we had a touching illustra
tion a iew days since, when the stern .old warrior
was selected to carry the tender grandchild of Nich
olas to the baptismal font. As Paskievitch has taken
personal command of the Russian forces in the Do
brudscha, we may expect to hear of some decisive
blow before the lapse of many days.—Richmond

Hess PROBA BLE FATE.—In an article on the pe
rils of the sea, the New York Courier stales that the
steamer Baltic sailed from New York on the 4th of
March. last, and on the 9th encountered ice in lat.
46, long. 47. Having then no definite idea iff the
quantity and extent of the ice, the Baltic for a few
days held her course, at a very low rate of speed,
but it soon become apparent that a continued effort
to force ,the ship thilough the lightest and most
broken ice would tear the wheels from her sides;
and every effort was then made to extricate th e
ship from the ice, without regard to attaining a
more eastern longitude. She cleared the ice on
the 14th, being then 2 degrees to the southward,
and a half degree to the westward of her position
three days before. On that evening a terrific gale
veering from southwest•to northwest commenced,
and continued till the next day, and nautical men
on board the Baltic agree that no ship in the ice
could have withstood that storm. There is just
reason for fearing that the City of Glasgow was
in the vioinity of that ice field and experienced
that gale, and that the crushing mountains of ice
upon the devoted ship caused her speedy destruc
tion, as no skill, strength or courage in the power
of man could resist such a combination of ele•
mental 'Aril . She left Liverpool on the Ist, con
sequently on the 11th she must have been within
four or five days sail of Philadelphia, which would
bring her in the neigborhood of the ice encounter
ed by the Baltic, and nearly at the same time. It
is painful to yield the last hope of la ship laden
with so many human souls, but desire for her
safety can no longer resist the inevitable conclu
sion that she has gone to the bottom with her
precious freight.
StiMIER TRAVELLERS.—To our friends who are
visiting Philadelphia the coming season, and de
sire a home, where every attention will be paid
them, we recommend the United States Hotel.—
Capt. Miller is an experienced host, and sets the
besi of tables. His house is newly furnished, and
convenient to all places of business and amuse
ments. See advertisement in another column.
THE Vic rim BRIDE.—The Sunday Mercury bas
commenced the publication of a tale under this
caption, from the racy pen, of Mr. L. A. Wxr.stra,
formerly connected - with the Pennsylvanian, as the
writer of its local items. From the well known
talents. of Mr. W., we have no doubt the tale in
question will be eagerly read by thousands. The
saene is laid in Philadelphia, tind the first chapter
opens with an amusing description of the hoit and
and hostess, and several of th,e inmates of the
'•Dove's Nest," a low tavern that existed sonie fif
teen years ago in the southern part of the City of
Brotherly Love.
Veto Message.
The following is the Message of Governor Bro:
Lai, returning with his objections the bills char
tering the Donegal, Allentown, Catasaqua, and. Mt.
Pleasan4 Deposite Banks. It will be seen that his
principal objection—and which alone should be fa
tal to every bank charteris the absence of a clause
making the stockholders individually liable for the
debts of, the institutions. This a principle which
should never be lost sight of, as it is the best safe
guard the public have for the iaithful and honest
management of banking institutions, and we are
pleased that the Governor pursued the course he
did with regard to the bills in question:
•
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
Harrisburg, May 4, 1854.
To the Senate and House of Representatives :
Gsirri.xxxs.:—The following bills have been
presented for my consideration and approval, and
I herewith return the same, without my assent, to
the Senate : 7in which body they originated:
Bill No. 159, entitled "An act to incorporate the
Donegal deposite bank, to be located at Marietta,
in Lancaster county;" bill No. 215, entitled "An
act to incorporate the Catasauqua deposit bank, at
Catasauqua;" bill No. 213, entitled "An act to in•
corporate the Farniers' deposit bank, of Lehigh
county;" and bill No. 996, entitled "An act to in•
corporate the Mount Pleasant savings' bank."
The principal objection to the bills under con•
sideration is, that no adequate liability is imposed
upon the stockholders, lor the protection of those
who may be creditors of the institutions. It has
become a settled principle, that in granting cor
porate privileges, where large private gains are ex
pected, and the public deeply interested in the op.
erations of an instiution sod its ability to meet its
engagements, that the individuals thus associating,
shall be severally liable in their private estates, tor
the debts of such corporation.
This principle has been applied very properly,
it is believed, to banks of issue, and to mining and
manulacturing companies, and the public are cer
,
tautly quite as much interested in the safety and
solvency of a bank of deposit, as in these corpora
tions. Inviting deposits by the offer of liberal terms,
the entire community surrounding such an-institu
tion may become creditors, and especially those
classes least able to bear a loss, and hence the pro
priety of furnishing an efficient protection.. The
application of the. principle is not more salutary
upon the public mind, by inspiring confidence and
trust, than upon the corporators themselves, and
the greater vigilance resulting Irom a proper sense
of responsibility, would more than compensate for
this increased liability.
Whilst it is tree that mere banks of deposit, not
having the power to increase the ageregate-ut pa
per circulation, are not liable to the objections gen
erally urged against an increase of banking capi
tal, as a basis for paper issues, and cannot inflate
prices by an expanded currency, they should never
theless be guarded by every proper limitation and
restriction ' for the security of the public. Nor
should such institutions be established at random,
and viithoht a due regard to actual business wants;
but only in such localities as manifestly require
them. In places where a large amount of business
is transaceed, I can see no well founded objection
to such an agency; thus, from the size and import
ance
ol the place, an institution of; the kind at Al
lentown might be eminently proper and be of great
benefit to its businesi inhabitants, and perhaps at
other points indicated in the bills before me; but
in this, as in all other allowable measures, the ut•
most discretion and judgment must be exercised,
and the true interests and safety of the public ever
held in view.
Misapprehension seems to have existed as to the
extent of liability imposed by the general banking
law of 1850, under which the proposed institutions
are to be organized. It was certainly such erron
eous impressions that secured the approval of the
bill to incorporate the Citizens' Deposit Bank of
Pittsburg, for in all other similar cases, the princi
ple of individual liability seems to be rigidly ad
hered to. Even in this case, however, there is an
express reservation in the act of incorporation, that
the Legislature may impose new conditions, if ne
cessary, which, to some degree at least, supplies
the omission of an express individual liability.—
As there seems, [hers-tore, to be a defect in the gen
eral law in this particular, I respectfully recom
mend that it be so amended as to apply the prin
ciple of indvidual liability to deposit banks hereaf
ter incorporated,. - in whose charters the right is re
served to impose new conditions, it necessary.
DEBT OF THE UNITED STATES.—The following
report was made to the Senate 'on the Sth instant,
accompanied by a table, showing the present in
debtedness of the United States and the amount of
stocks redeemed since March 4, 1853:
TlIZA5l7lir DEPJITMENT : May 8, 1854
Sin: In obedience to a resolution of the Senate
of the sth instant, `•requesting the Secretary of the
Treasury to furnish, for the information of the Sen
ate, a statement of the amount of bonds or other
securities of the United States redeemed since the
third of March, 1853, specifying in such statement
the date of the issue of such bonds or securities,
the rate of interest, when payable, and the amount
of premium paid ot, each class of the same," I have
the honor to transmit a statement, prepared by the
Register of the Treasury : containing the informa
tion desired. In this statement is also included, Ist,
that portion of the Texan indemnity v under the act
of September 9, 1850, for which stock has not yet
been issued; 2d, the amount of Treasury notes out
standing; and, 3d, the amount of the old funded and
untlinded debts.
From the statement it will appear that the whole
amount of stock redeemed between the 3d of March
1853, and the Bth inst., is $18,813,714 75
That the premium paid on the
same is 2,457,902 93
And that the amount of stock
whether actually issued or au
thorized to be issued, and for
which the United States is lia
ble, outstanding is 50,315,872 02
I am, very respectfully,
JAMES GUTHRIE,
Secretary of the Treasury.

IMPORTANT TO SCHOOL DINECTORS.—The school
law which recently passed the Legislature, and re
ceived the sanction of the Executive, makes it the
duty of the school directors of the several coun
ties of the Commonwealth to meet in convention
at the seat of justice of the proper county, on the
first Monday of June next, and on the first Monday
of May in each third year thereafter, and select
viva voce by a majority of the whole number of di
rectors present, one person of literary and scientific
acquirements and of skill and experience in the
art of teaching, as county superintendent for the
three succeeding school years, and the school di
rectors, or a majority of them in such convention,
shall determine the amount of compensation for
the county superintendent, which said compensa•
lion shall be paid by the Superintendent of Com
mon Schools by his warrant drawn upon the State
Treasurer in half yearly instalments if desired, and
shall be deducted from the amount of the. State ap
propriation to be paid the several school districts
for said county.
01-A correspondent suggests the name of J. P
WICK.r.ILSEAN, of Marietta, as a suitable person to
fill the office of Suprintendent of Schools, for this
county.. As he is an experienced, practical man,
we know of no better selection that could be made•
MATTusw WAnD, the murderer, seems to
find no resting place. Having fled from Louisville
and been warned awry from New Albany, he and
his brother stopped at Carrollton, Indiana, where
they had been but a short time when, being waited
upon by_a committee of citizens, and desired to
leave, they went to Judge Huntingdon's, some
diStance in the country, and shortly after took pas
sage on the steamer Eclipse, for Arkansas. When
the boat reached the town of Henderson, a large
crowd collected on the wharf, and ordered the cap
tain to be off with his boat and cargo, which was
quickly pbeyed. Where they landed next we have
not learned. Verily, 'the way of the transgressor
is hard.'
Irr The General Appropriation Bill, passed by
the Legislature, contains a section appointing N.
Strickland, of Chester, John Strohm. of Lancaster,
and• John N. Purviance, of Butler, Commissioners
to examine into the correctness of the claims
against the Commonwealth for debts alleged to be
due on the Portage Railroad.

arrive in Philadelphia at 9,30; returbing, will leav
Philadelphia at 4 P. M.,. and retch Lancaster a i i
7,45 P. M. stopping at all the regolar stations o

hours to transact business in the city. It will ru

An extra line will also run from Philada. to Lan,

Thus it will be seen that increased facilities a e
afforded, and every thing is done that it is Pos-i
-ble for the State officers to do, to make the C.-
luinbia Railroad one of the most desirabls routs
for travel in the country—the falsehoods and mis:
representations of certain interested parties to the
contrary, notwithstanding.
The President's Veto.
The press generally,ot all parties, speak in terms
of commendation of the President's Veto Alessitie,
returning with his objections the bill granting aid
to the Indigent Insane. The Public Ledger this
gives a synopsis of his reasons in opposition to die
measure :
• •
The President has vetoed the bill granting
tenmillions of acres of land to the several
States for the benefit of the. indigent insane. His
reasons are that Congress has no constitutional
power to - make provisions for any such objqt,
which is entirely within the control of the stales
themselves. For Congress to provide for this be
neficence would be to transfer to the Federal gov
ernment the charge of the poor in all the States,
and the latter, instead of bestowing their own
means upon the social wants of their own people.
would become suppliants for the bounty of (he
General Government, reversing their true relation
to the Union, the Federal Government being oily
the creature of the States. The bill is also a vio•
lotion of the faith of the Government, which hasjal
ready pledged the public lands for the public in
debtedness. In a constitutional point of view, it
is wholly immaterial whether the appropriation be
in money or in land. The public domain is
the common property of the Union, just as much
as the surplus proceeds of that and of duties on im
ports remaining unexpended in the treasury. As
property, it is distinguished' from actual money,
chiefly in this respect; that its profitable Manage
ment sometimes requires that portions of it be ap
propriated to local objects in the States wherein it
may happen to lie, as would be done by any pru.
dent proprietor to enhance the sale value of his pri
vate domain. All such grants of land are in tact a
disposal of it for value received, but they afford no
precedent or constitutional reason for giving aWay
the public lands. Still less do they. give sanction
to appropriations for objects which have not been
entrusted to the Federal Government, and therefore
belong exclusively to the States. The precedents
set by Congress heretofore, in the donation of pub
lic land, should serve as warnings, he thinks, lath
er than as examples. The principles laid Own
in the veto look ominous of the tate of most °lithe
land bills now before Congress. Speculation has
been very busy at Washington this session in . de
visiog all kinds of schemes for a wholesale plurider
of the public lands, not one of which is character
ized by the utility and beneficence of the object con
templated in the bill for aid to the indigent insane
and probably not to one of which but the constitu
tional objections urged against that bill will apply
with tenfold force.

ELECTIONS.—The following is one of the acts
passed by the Legislature, in relation to elections
in the Commonwealth, which we deem important
to our readers. This measure will relieve the Leg
islature hereafter of a great deal of trouble and yex
ation, as well as time. Election Districts should
be fixed by the Lourts, as it is presumed they know
more about the facts of each case than the Legiisla-
4N .fICT in relation to establishing and changing
the places for holding general elections throughout
the Commonwealth.
Sec.. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania in General Assembly met, and it is here
by enacted by the authority of the same, That up
on the petition ot one third of the qualified vbters
of any election district ot this Commonwealttl pre
sented to the Court of Quarter Sessions of the prop
er city or county for the purpose, it shall be law
ful for such Court to order one election in suclaielec
lion district upon the question of the locatiOn or
change of the place of holding the general, special
and townshi p elections fOr such district, subjdct to
all the provisions not inconsistent herewith of the

crates refusing the presents of Bing Artaxerxes,
who invited him to go to Persia and succor the
enemies of Greece. The sculpture is engraved on
beautiful marble by J. Augustus Beck, a young
artist of our own county, from a dagurreotype copy
of Viardon celebrated picture. presented to him
by Miss Abby L. Piereson. The execution of the
work is in the highest style of art, and evinces
extraordinary talent - in the artist. The stone is of
Vermont marble. It does great crrdit not only- to
Mr. Beck,, but, to Lancaster. In this connection we
might mention several other fine specimens 01 art,
the prodoctionsof this talented young artist, which
may be seen at the same place. Among other
things we note a beautiful wreath—the' prettiest
thing of the kind we have ever seen. It is engraved
on a marble slab, and designed for the grave of
the late Mrs. Gemperling, Whose remains repose
in the Lancaster Cemetry. We also observe, at
the same place, another beautiful piece of art,
which we are at a loss how to designate. It is a
representation of two females perusing a volume of
poefns—Byron or Shakespeare, we presume—who to
gether with their shaggy triend or protector, who
is watching beside them, look as lite-like as they

was said that the U. S. Marshall had a warrant
against anotherigentleman of this city, then and
still absent in Europe, and that no efforts would
be spared to secure his arrest. It now appears
that the whole story was a fabrication, and that
the person alluded to was never in any way con;
nected with these fraudulent transactions.N,Letters
from Marshall Wynkoop and the late, U. S. Din.
trict Attorney Ashmead, have been laid before us,

11:7- The following bill was passed on the last
day of the session, by our State Legislature, and
is now in the hands of the Governor. The gener
al features of the law are good, but, we think,
there should have been a provision made by which
those engaged in the sale of beer, ale, &c., should
have been permitted to go on until a Court was in
session which might either grant or reject their
application, for license. As it is, so .far as this
county is concerned, at least, they will all have to
stop, should the bill become a law, until the Au.
gust sessions:

AN Hoa kn . CONFESSION..—II is right the people
should know what shape the Gublrnetorial contest
in this State is taking. We some weeks ago re
marked that the Temperance vote bad grown to
be large and respectable, and therefore both the
political parties of the country would 'fish' or it.
The honest and sincere Temperance men do not
mean to have their organization become an
appendage to any political party, and !eel that they
have a higher and nobler object in view than the
attainment of political power. They doubtless
act from principle, but in every organization there
are men who seek the leadership from motives ol
policy; and the Temperance men must look out
ior these, and mark them,—if they.with to main
tain the integrity and good character of their par-
We have said that the Wh.g party in the nomi
nation of Judge Pollock, bid for the Temperance
vote, and in proof we copy the following para.
graph from the Miners Journal, and the organ of
the Whig party in Schuylkill county. The editor
says:
'We ask in plain terms, what chance has Judge
Pollock of election without the Temperance vote?
There are those who say so, and we have no doubt
honestly think so. To such, we have one simple
query to propose. How many Whig Governors
has Pennsylvania had since her organization as a
State? In all, if our memory serve us right, lour,
and if the circumstances of their election•be recall
ed, their success cannot be• accredited exclusively
to party strength. This is plain talk we know,
but it is as we conceive just what we wanted.
Others see it as well as we, but few have the same
independence to speak out on the subject. Party
men may scold as they please at such confessions,
but it is truth, nevertheless, and we repeat—it
Judge Pollock is elected at all, he must receive
more than a,strictly party vote. That's the plain
English of the whole mattEr.'
The editor exposes the plan of operation very
fairly, but be has no warrant for any invidous com
parisons on the Temperance question to the pre
judice of the Democratic nominee. We say nothing
against Judge Pollock, but Wm. Bigler ism man
whose habits and principles on moral questions are
and have always been correct, and his influence and
countenance always upon the side of. Temperance
and good order in society. And even the editor of
the Journal, who is a warm Temperance man, can
point to no dereliction in the conduct or profession
of Gov. Bigler. He simply says the Whig party
must have the vote of the Temperance men to elect
Pollock.—Star of the North.
Foreign News.
The British mail steamer Canada arrived at Hal

29th ult. The intelligence from the seat of war
is unimportant. Silistria had not yet been taken
by the Russians, nor had the allied fleets made any
demonstration against Odessa. Increased vigor
was, however, displayed by the allies. Twenty
thousand Trench troops and eight thousand British
had arrived at Gallipolis. A sanguinary engage.
ment had taken place near Kalafat, _but without
any decided result. It was reported that the Rus
sians had evacuated Lesser Wallachia.

the number was Pollock, the present candidate for

resolution.
