I , ;cif perceive a decided change
fovea'. -tter, as we think, in the appearance
.fi - daiLvTZLLICIENCEEt, 'today. .We present it
in'a form somewhat enlarged, with new head
and, to a considerable extent printed, on new
type. • 'Ant this is-only the commencement of
reform. We , shall-continue to work out tho
type, - from time to time, until the whole
°paper, fromfirst to last, will clothed be ins new
dress;-and,our. readers may .rest assured -that
nothing shallhe..pmltte&on our part to de
serve an increase of patronage, by keeping
petit:with theprogress and wants of the age.
•Our itaprovents so-far have cost us a con
siderable-amount of money, and those yet in
tended to be Made will add still more to the
sum total- of expenses.- May we not, therefore,
confidently appeal to our friends to aid in a
more extended circulation of the paper ; and
those who knoti themselves fo be indebted in
anyway, for subscription, advertising or job
work, would confer a great favor by settling
up accounts at as early a day as practicable,
so air to enable us promptly to meet our Habil
,
ities.
In additiOn to the new materials for the pa
per, we have also supplied the office with a
- variety of new Jos Tirpk—and are, consequent
ly, prepared to do.any thing in that line with
neatness and despatch, and at reasonable
rates. We ask our friends and the public at
large to give us a trial, and if we fail in giv
ing the most ample satisfaction' in every re
spect, we assure them it will not be for want
Of effort to please the most fastidious.
Governor Bigler.
It is not too much to say that Pennsyliania
.
neverlad an Executive morecareful of her in
.) teiAts . ,42fd prosperity than WILLIAM BIGLER.
In sefison and out of season, under all circum
stanc and at all times,-he has faithfully ad
hered the doctrines laid down in his inau
gural ess, and zealously urged the Corn
inonwealt forward in her glorious career of
prosperity. And now, in the closing year of
his term of o ce, he can proudly point to his
acts and-the ncial condition of the treasury,
and confidently peal to the people to decide
upon theibmeri r demerits.
The Commonweth, then, being prosperous
beyond any former ample under his wise
management of her a irs, is it either prudent
or desiizlTile on the pa 4, of the people to de
sire a change? Is it notAbetter, by retaining
Gov. BIGLER'S services for another term, to
keep the ship of state on her present prosper
ous voyage, and insure a safe return to port,
than to run the risk of a change of pilot, and
endanger her amid the shoals and quicksands
of doubt and uncertainty. To err is human,
and, it m e, thav he-h- - — 1 .4 several
un important particulars—but, eve dniittin—g
this, is it not
"better to bear the ills we bare, than fly to other .
that we know'not of.""
His competitor, Mr. POLLOCK, may be a good
. man in his way—so was Governors JOHNSTON
and Rtrmma—but he lacks that experience in
State affairs which should so eminently quail
, fy the incumbent of the Gubernatorial chair.
Messrs. JOHNSTON and RITNER both had, ex
i perieire ; but they proved themselves sadly
i deficient when they came to be tried. And is
it to be supposed that the present Whig candi
date, who has not hadatithe of the advantages
of either, will be able to do better than
' - they? or is it reasonable to believe he would
even do as well?
) , The Federal party, when in power, either
in the State or Nation, have never yet shown
any administrative talent ;—on the contrary
they have uniformly abused the trust reposed
in them, and have added to, instead of dimin
ishing, the burthens of the people. Nor is it
likely that Mr. PoLLoca would be an exception
to the general rule.
Those, then, who desire the continued pros
perity of the good old Keystone State, should
' not hesitate to vote for Governor BIGLER. And
this is a subject that appeals directly to the
farmers, mechanics and laboring men of the
community—the real bone and sinew of the
country—to whom, under the blessing of
Heaven and a wise Goiernment, we are in
debted for all the prosperity and rapidly in
creasing wealth of the State, and the yet more
splendid career of glory which awaits her in
the future, and even is now already looming
up in the distance.
Independence Day.
To-day is the seventy-eighth Anniversary
of American . Independence, and as 'a fitting
subject for reading and meditation we insert,
on our first page, the - glorious declaration of
Independence—a 'document which, in style,
sentiment and importance has perhaps never
been equalled.- We especially recommend its
perusal to our " Know Nothing" friends,
whose illiberality and intolerance will there
meet with a rebuke, which may induce some
of them at least to stop and reflect in the anti
republican,career upon which they have en
tered.
The Declaration is a master-piece of com
position, and is from the pen of the great
apostle'. of Democracy, T.Romes JEFFERSON,
unanimously adopted iseini.-signed by the im
mortal fifty-six patriots who composed the
Continental Congress of 1776. It is a state
paper for all time, and its sentiments will find
a lodgment i'n every breast, and in every clime
where the pulsations of liberty beat, until time
_ itself shall be no more. -
We marvel, how any man can read this doc
ument—signed, as it is, by native and foreign
. born citizens, -by Protestants and Catholics—
and 'then join in a crusade against his neigh
bor who happens to be born in a foreign land,
or whose religious opinions do not square with
his own. Had the doctrines-entertained and
• avowed by the modern Nativists been held by
any considerable portion of the people in the
- ':times that tried men's souls," we ask what
situation would this country now be in, and
where would be our boasted liberties? Shades
of Montgomery, of Mercer, 'of Pulaski, and
. the hosts of other true-hearted foreigners, who
freel' abed your best blood and yielded up
your lives to secure our libertiee, - preserve us

In the first article the amendments to the
Oonstitution of tho United States, and form
,
istia part of that sacred instrument itFolf, the
subjoined clause appears :

President jinTinisox, in his . first Inaugural
Address, lays down the following as one of .
the rules : by: which his adrninistratioti should .
- be governed:" ' ' • -
"Equal and exact justice to all men, of
toki*v.er state or persuctsion, religious or po
litkca."
And in his second Inaugural; speaking of
the manner in which he administered the
Government during his first term, he says :
" In matters of religion, I have considered
that iis jive exercise is placed by the Com3titu
don independent of the powers of the Gener
al Government."
And President MADISON, in his first Inaug
ural, avows his determination
"To avoid 'the slightest interference with
the rights of conscience; or the functions cf re
ligion."
- With these great lights before us, we mar
vel that any American citizen, and especially
any Democrat, can so far forget his duty to
his country and the principles upon which the
Government was founded and administered by
the sages of the Revolution, as to be now found
arraying himself on the side of , proscription
and intolerance towards any of our native or
adopted citizens, on account of their birth
place or religion. What, has it come to this,
that in the seventy eighth year of our existence
as a nation, and whilst there are still a few of
the heroes of the Revolution yet lingering on
the shores of time, there are men in our midst
who :;re so far forgetful of the precepts of the
sages and patriots of '76, as to seek to under
mine one of the very pillars of our republican
edifice the liberty of the' citizen to worship
God according to the dictates of his own con
science—" under his own vine and fig tree,"
to use the language of sacred scripture, "none
daring to molest or make him afraid." And,
is it so that the precious blood of our forefath
ers was shed in vain, on the battle fields of the
Revolution, so that they might redeem this
land from the tyranny of British rule, and
make it a home and an asylum for the op
pressed and down-trodden of all nations ! And
are we now to be told that, although they may,
land upon our shores—may take the oath of
allegiance 'to our Government—may dig our
canals, build our railroads, subdue our forests,
cultivate our lands, and help to fight the bat
tles of our country—they shall not be entitled
to the privileges or immunities grante4hem
under the constitution and laws ! Shall they,
who have fled from tyranny in the old world,
be doomed to a worse oppression in this coun
try ; for, let it he known, that the English Gov
ernment, from under whose iron rule many of
our adopted citizens havefled, excludes no man
from a seat in Parliament, or other offices of
trust and emolument, on account of his birth
place or -religion ! And it is a well-establish
ed-historical fact that some of her most dis
tinguished Generals, brightest statesmen and
accomplished orators, drew their first breath
on the Emerald isle. Even her present line
of monarchs is of German extraction, the iltivt
• beinz unable to speak a
word of English when they - aWefia - Ue trio
throne !
We offer these thoughts, on this the anni
versary of the birth-day of freedom, for the
consideration of our readers. The hallowed
reflections vkich Independence day should al
ways inspirt., will perhaps cause some to re
flect before they take another step downward
in the crusade of intolerance and proscription.
it The Democratic Union, of Wednesday
last, is rather more (Went than the number
immediatelyeceding it—evidently showing
some disposition to back out of its unwarrant
able attack upon Mr. BUCHANAN. We are
glad to see this returning sense of decency on
the part of the editor, who, personally, is what
may be called a very clever fellow. The oth
er gentlemen assailed with so much vitupera
tion and' malignancy are both at home, and
abundantly able to take care themselves; but
the case is different with Mr. BUCHANAN. He
is now absent in a foreign land, in the service
of his country, and it was neither manly nor
honorable to attack him in his absence. We
hope to see no more of it from that quarter;
but should a recurrence take place, at any
time, the editor of the Union will find US al
ways ready and willing to protect an absent
friend, even should we deem it necessary to
" carry the war into Africa, and thunder at
the gates of Carthage." An editor who has the
temerity to attack either the ,political, social
or moral standing of Mr. 8., in Pennsylvania,
should be, like Cesar's wife, not only pure him
self, but above any reasonable suspicion of his
integrity; and if he does not come up at least
Within a stone's.: throw of that standard, need
.not be surprised if he receives blow for blow
in the encounter.
SEir Our neighbor of the INGEFEDTPENT
WHIG need be under no apprehensions that
Governor BIGLER will decline being a candi
date—neither he nor his friends ever dream
ing of such a thing, notwithstanding the false
hoods and misrepresentations so freely circu
lated by the Whig press.- Perhaps with them
the "wish is father to the thought"—but they
won't be accommodated. Governor BIGLER
will be about on election day, and the
Democrats too; and, what is more, they in
tend to re-elect him to the post he has filled
with such distinguished ability, maugre all
the combinations that may be formed against
him.
,lam' The "Know-Nothing" organ will re
collect that abuse is not argument, and that
mere random falsecharges and assertionsagainst
any class of our fellow citizens, especially
when couched in gross 'and offensive language,
are not received by an intelligent community
with much favor. If the' proscription and in
tolerance of thus new political sect are worthy
the countenance of the public, we suppose
their cause would suffer less in popular esteem
by keeping their organ within the bounds of
decency at least. The Examiner should be a
little, more careful, or its appendage will bring
both papers into contempt. So far as we are
personally concerned, we would rather have the
abuse of the "Know'Nothing" organ than its
praise. We,:therefore,:trustthatit will continue
its present course from now to the election, and
as much longer as it pleases. At the same
time we hope the editor or publisher, as the
case may be, will exercise courtsey enough to
havea-copy lefkat ouroffice, every time he sees
proper to indulge in his pro , : - .r abusing

TilerTreatir>'frith Meidc.o.
The Bones of Representatives, on Wednes
.
day, r ;Ede aby a vote of 103 to 62 the bill appro
risfini $10,000,000 for the fulfilment of the_
•
stiindattons entered into by the United States
in the recent treaty with Mexico. Their de
cided- importance cannot fail to strike the at
tention of. the most casual reader.
The abrogation of the 11th article of the
Treaty cf Gandaloupe .ffidalgci, and the
cellatimr , of the claims which have arisen un
der it, is in itself an object of _the highest im
portance. The fist portion' of that article
reads as f011ows: * '
"Atm Xl.Considering that a great part
of the territories which, by life present treoty,
are.to be comprehended for the future . witlun
the limits 'of the United Stated . ; _is' now . occu
pied by savage tribes, whowwill hereafter be
under the exclusive control of the U. States,
and whotie incursions within the territory of
Merico, would be prejtidicial in the , extreme,
it is solemnly agreed that all such incursions
shall be forcibly restrained by the government
of the United States whensoever this may be
neceasstry; and that when they cannot be pre-
vented they shall be punishedby the said gov
enunent, and satisfaction for the same shall be
exacted—all in the same way, and with equal
diligence and energy, as if the same incursions
were meditated br committed within its own
territory, against its own citizens." ,
It also provides that no citizen of the Uni-'
ted States should purchase or acquire any
property stolen by the Indians from the Mex
icans—that when Mexican citizens are cap
tured by the Indians we should reclaim them
—that we shall pass all necessary laws to
carry into effect the above provisions—and by
it we were solemnly bound to restrain the in
vasions of the Indians upon Mexico, or failing
to do that, to make pecuniary remuneration
for the losses and damages sustained through
our neglect.
The above provision was strongly objected
tort the time of the adoption of the treaty by
a number - of Senators, among others, by' Col.
BENTON, Judge DouGLas and. Gen. RUSE; but
the general desire for peace prevailed, and the
treaty was adopted with this troublesome and
expensive provision attached to it.
During the succeeding admi ,'stration of
Gen. TAYLOR and MILLARD FILLMORE, the bur
thensome character of this 11th section became
clearly apparent. The Indians on the North
ern frontier of Mexico are a hardy, daring, ac
tive, and energetic race, and it was found ut
terly impossible to check their depredations.—
The consequence was that Mexico soon pre
sented a very formidable array .of clear}
against us, from which Mr; Fillmore natural
ly desired to release our nation. But Mexico
at that time demanded an exorbitant price,
and it is said had already. "proved up" claims
to the amount of 516,000,000. Mr. Fillmore
offered even then $6,000,000 for the abrogation
of the article in question, but it was not ac
cepted, nbt was there any prospect at that day
of securing its abrogation without the payment
of a much larger sum.
Second, we have secured the right to an
American citizen to build a railroad across
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, with important
facilities for enjoying it. For this privilege
alone Mr. POLK, during his administration,
was willing to pay $15,000,000.
Third, the boundary line between Mexico
and the United States has been definitely set
tled in an entirely satisfactory manner. How
troublesome boundary questions are—what
vexatious diiputes they give rise to-- - -the past
history of our country has abundantly illus
trated, and the foundation was fairly-laid for
an extremely unpleasant dispute with Mexico
upon this subject, In discussing the treaty
of 1848 in the Senate, it was understood that
under its provisions,we were entitled to -the
-1 . POLK appointed Col.
WELLER as our Boundary Commissioner ; an.
Mr. GREY was the Eifrveyor of the Expedi
tion. But Gen. l'ArLoß's administration soon
removed Col. W. and appointed Mr. BART
LETT tO fill his place. In prosecuting their, du
ties a disagreement arose between Mr. BART
LETT and Mr. GRET—Mr. the Commissioner,
maintaining that we were not entitled to the
Mesilla Valley, while Mr. G. the Surveyor,
contended we were. The Mexicans, of course,
eagerly availed themselves of Mr. B.'s conces
sion, and strenuously insisted upon the justice
of his decision. He was also sustained by Mr.
FILLMORE and his Secretary of the Interior,
Mr. STUART. Congress, however, took a dif
ferent view of the matter, and refused to grant
an appropriation for completing the Survey
without the original construction of the Treaty,
giving us the Mesilla Valley, was complied
with. It will be remembered that very soon
after Gen. PIERCE'S accession to office, consider
able discussion and excitement took place up
on this subject, and serious apprehensions of
another war between the two nations more en
tertained. By the ne' treaty this vexatious
dispute is entirely and satisfactorily irttled,
and we also obtain 17,600,000 acres of Itlid in
addition to the 3,400,000 acres originalLT in
volved in the dispute arising from the &Ter
ence of opinion between Congress. and\ the
Mexican government, as to the true bountry
authorized by the treaty of 1848.
If Brother Jonathan never makes any worse
bargains than he has in this instance, his rep- t
utation for shrewdness and sagacity will re.'
main unimpeachable. For ten millions we ob
tain at this period the abrogation of an exten
sive article, for which Mr. FILLMORE several
years ago offered six, or according to some ac
counts seven millions, while Mexico demanded
thirty millions; and in addition to that, gain a
right of way for which Mr. POLE was willing
to pay sls,ooo,ooo—and also secure not only
the settlement of a vexatious boundary dispute,
but get 17,000,000 acres of land beside, the
location of which may at least make it
great service as a Pacific Railroad route, even
if it should possess no other value.—Pennsyl
vanian.
Aar The citizens of Easton are delighted at
the appointment of A. H. REEDER, Esq., Gov
ernor of the Kanzas Territory. On Friday
night week, after the. news arrived there, a
large concourse of people assembled in front
of his residence, accompanied by a Band of
Music. They were invited in and treated to
a handsome colation by the distinguished
gentleman—after which he was appropriately
addressed, on. behalf of the citizens, by GEO.
W. :YATES, Esq., which was eloquently re
sponded to by Mr. REEDER. Toasts . were also
drank, and the utmost enthusiasm and good
feeling prevailed. The company retired at an
early hour, all of them delighted with the
gmftfying socialities of the impromptu enter
tainment.
air The Saturday Express is becoming re
ligious overmuch. It thinks the Intelligen
cer blasphemous, because we ,said the princi
ples of the Democratic.party are as unchange
able as eternity itself. Will the cleric* editor
of that sheet 'explain the why and- where
fore of its opinio • other than the resolution
of the Baltimore Con on against the revi
val of the slavery igitat, Perhaps we did
not learn our theology in theiraine school with
the Express man—hence we do not understand
the term "blasphemy" in the same sense that
he does.

As'the summer wears away, And the gube:r

They do not go into particulain -so Sir as to
base the success they pronitil theramiives bn
any solid foundation, but Inertly predict that
it will be so—without a why or wherefore.L.
The hope that is supposed to spring eternal
in the human breast, is not what buoys them
up, because there is nizt an_intelligent Whig
in Pennsylvania this day hut knows .that a
signal defeat awaits the party next fall. This
game of brag is resorted to in order to keep
the party from entire and absolutedissolution,
and if not persisted in to the extent it is in
every campaign, the great whig party would
long since have lost every vestige of vitality.—
These false prophets defeated Gov. Shank ter
ribly—before the election. They did the
same thing with Bigler, and the same thing
with Pierce—after which one would reasona
'bly_be led to believe that they would venture'
upon no prophecies, unless they had reliable
dati - Urgovern them; yet nothing daurded they
return.io their wind work with-a will worthy
a better cause.
We recolleet when Scott was nominated for'
the Presidency, a prominent Whig hooked his
in one of our button-holes, drew us aside
and confntly said—
"We'vlgot you now, old fellow. All the
Catholic in the ,United States will —vote for
Scott."
He appeared to . think it a good jot we
have our doubts to this day whether his. pre
diction wi i s verified. A week or two ago, this
same gentleman went through with the same
performance.
" We've got you this time, sure—all the
Know Nothings will vote for Pollock."
His predictions we take it will be like whig
predictions generally, and his prediction about
Scott in 1852 particularly.
As usual, the whig party can point to no
changes as an index of public feeling: except
the municipal election in Philadelphia, which
is no test at all. We say that all is well as
far as our section is concerned. If there are
any changes, they will he found in our honest
and•upright Democratic Governor's favor. The
enlightened people of Pennsylvania love to
honor a mechanic, who, by his unaided abili
ties, can place himself in so proud a position
as Governor Bigler occupies. On his side the
farmers, mechanics and workingmen will
ar
ray themselves, because:he is one:of the pea
ple, and the day is far distant wlteir the De
mocracy of the old Keystone will 'abandon
faithful standard bearer, and aid in placing
the reins of the -government in the hands of
a Federal Lawyer.—Hollidaysburg Standard.
THE NEW TERRITORIES.—The appointment:
of Mr. Reeder as governo . r of the new Terri
tory of Kanzas, has created quite a fever with
many of our young men to emigrate thithet,,
and it is not improbable that a respectable
delegation will start from this region: Judging,
from all the public accounts, a tine opening is
presented in the new territory for, ambitious
and enterprising young men. Kanzas is siti
uated immediately back of Missouri and Ar
kansas and possesses all the advantages of a
delightful climate, land that is naturally very

advantages that will compand -the attention
of all new emigrants. Samboats run regu-•
larly from St. Louis to Foit Leavenworth.
It is now a military fort, and the United
States government has erected a fine Barracks,
Military Hospital, and other necessary build
ings, besides a good Steamboat landing. The
government has also 1000 acres of land under,
cultivation for the use of the soldiers. Fort
Leavenworth is about27o miles from St. Louis
and can be reached from Philadelphia in eight
er ten days, at an expense of about $35. , The'
Pennsylvania Centrnl Railroad issues tickets
through to St.J.kuis for $2O. Kanzas is much
the finest Territory . of the two and undoubt-'
edly presents openings for aollve enterprising
young men, superior to any other section of
the country. The submission of the question
of Slavery to the people of the Territory has
created a spirit of rivalry between the North
and the South,' which will fill it up rapidly,
and there can be no doubt that by,nSxt sum
mer the Territory will have, a population of at
least 20,000.—Easton Argus.
FUSION UP a STUMP.—West4ted some time
ago that Mr. Darsie would withdraw from the
Whig ticket, and Pet a Native American take
his place. Mr. Darsie's foreign birth was in
the way of an alliance between thelVhigs and
Know Nothings. Many of our friends thought
we were rash in predicting that such would
be the result of the meeting of the Whig State
Central Committee at Philadelphia, some two
weeks ago. But we can now state that Mr.
Darsie's letter declining the, race, and with
drawing from the ticket, is nbwin the hands
of the Committee, and will be published du
ring the month of July.
An attempt was also made at that meeting
'and subsequently, to induce Mr. Smyser to
withdraw from the ticket, and let Wilmot -be'
placed in nomination for the Supreme Court

Democrats have no bargains to make. They
announce their principles without hesitation,
and enter the contest without fear. They are
the same principles taught by Jefferson, Mad
ison, Jackson and Polk. They have borne the
party through many a struggle, and have rais

greatness such as no other nation ever attain

ablest men of Pennsylvania, Governor REEDER,

given to the latter by the citizens of Easton,

There is one man, whom, on this occasion;
and in this connection, lam sure you do not
wish to overlook, and whom I cannot allow to
be forgotten, where manliness and worth and
nobleness of soul are appreciated. I must ask
therefore, to fill for the health of a refined and

activity—of warm and generous impulses, of
unquailing morarcourage, and of self-sacrifi

This leading Whig: it will be obsekved, de
sires to form a new party—or rather, he wish
es the Whig"party to take a new name, so that
all the thrncoats and apostates in the country,
and till, who may feel disposed to become turn
coafi and apostates, may be enabled to join it
without being subjected to the odium that us
ually attaches to turncoats. The gentleman
from Maine is slightly behind the times.—
Steps have already been taken by his Whig
brethren in this and other States to compass
the object he has in view. They do not, how
ever, propose an abandonment of the lime
honored name, of Whig." They have a still
more cute plan th. n that of the gentleman
from, "away down east." They intend to main,
tarn intact the 'Whig organization, but in ev
ery district in the State they have picked men
whose duty it is to play the part of Sergeant
CEL6IPE. These affected deserters are to pio
neer the Snow Nothing movement, and to. use
all their arts to induce unsuspecting Demo
crats to join them. Their victims will be as
sured solemnly that the new organization will
make no distinction between the old,parties;
but when the time comes to choose between
candidates, the whig majority which is cer
tain to be found in every Know Nothing soci
ety will find a reason or an excuse for lending
their influence to the Whig cause. The game
is deep and insidious, and it will be played
perseveringly and unscrupulously. The se
eurity of the Democratic party lies in the
sense and virtue of its members—their ability
to discern the deep design of the plot, and
their firmness in repelling the artful advances
of the plotters.—Valley Spirit.
ELOQUENT FAREWELL—The Baltimore' Pa
triot a leading Southern Whig paper, takes
leave of the Northern Whig party in the fol
lowing eloquent language :
If it (the Northern Whig Party) prefers a
naked and supererogatory decree, excluding
the South from territory which she never ex
pected to occupy, to a cordial interchange of
products and a liberal cession of government ;
if it would swap the sister States of the, South
for monarchial Canada-for Canada whose pop
ulation was driven from the Republican colo
nies because they would not defend their lib
erties—bilt still repeat the traditions of con
fiscation and exile, who sneer at our institu
tions and laud with obsequious loyalty those
which they have derived from the crown. If
the Northern Whigs prefer an alliance with
such a people, to one with those who quitted
their Southern homes to lie on Boston Heights
confronting a poiverfill foe, without the ammu
nition to have repulsed him—who endured the
trialsof Valley Forgewho met the co-' .
foe at Monmouth, and crossed the vim

WASERN OF THE EASTERN PENITENTIARY.-
The Inspectors of the Eastern Penitentiary
have n atwimously appointed the Hon . . Nimrod
Strickland of this county, Warden of that In
stitution. We are not. acquainted with the
duties of the office,
but -understand that they
are for the most part supervisory over Keep
ers of the different wards of the prison, and
that the purchaging of provisions for the insti
tution is entrusted to the care of this officer.
It is certainly a, post of great responsibility,
requiring a man of the purest integrity and of
great firmness of character. We are very sure
that if the -office suits the appointee, he will
suit. The only question in our mind is, as to
the position being congenial to the taste of our
townsman, If he enters upon the duties of the
office, as we suppose he will, the Inspectors
may well conFatulate themselves on procur
ing an officer in whom they can plaCe the ut
most reliance. Judge Strickland needs no
commendation at our hatidg. has been.
prominently before the public 'for'inany years,
and although men in and out of. his own po
litical party have disagreed with him on vari

him great integrity of character in every po

THE STATE DEBT—WHY IT IS NOT 'PAID.—
Daring democratic arinii "Fitrations t the great
theme of the whig presses thYoughout tbe
State has been our . State debt. Many have
been the learned disquisitions to which' they
have treated their readers, and sage have been
'the conclusions arrived at—always the same;
and they are mismanagement, corruption, and
fraud, on the part of those in power. Time
and again had the• same song been sung, and
still they ask, " Why is not the State debt
paid?" We can answer their question, and
hastell why a part, at least, of our debt : not
been cancelled. The late Whig Treasurer of
Allegheny County, has yet, entirely failed to
day over to the State the quota of tax due fier
tor the last year and that money, amounting
.to FORTY-FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS, is still due
her from him. The money is said to be in the,
hands of a firm of brokers, who are his sure
ties, and is being used by them in private
spgcolations. This, tax-payers, is one reason
why our State is still in debt, and one cause
of embarrassmentin the management of her
affairs. •
Yet it is such men-who talk loudest of dem
ocratic robberies, of wholesale frauds upon the
Treasury, and. who are first to cry, "stop
thief." Let us hear no more such talk from
men who go it to the tune of over forty thous
and dollars in one county.--Greensburg.Dim,
