"SAM" PRETTY WELL USED UPI Tarroassz.E.—ln this State, the returns indicate the election of Jourtsox, the Democratic candidate for tiovernor, by a handsome majority. The Con gressional delegation will probably be about equal ly divided between the Democrats on one hand, and the Whigs and Know-Nothings on the other. CiItOLINA — The_ Democrats, it is believed, have swept the State. The Congressional delega tion will probably stand as follows : 6 Democrats— and 2 Know-Nothings. This is glory enough for one day. The Kansas Difficulty The summary removal of Governor Reeder is•etrongly commented upon by the press in Pennsylvania and other Northern States, and the President is censured without stint or measure by the Democratic Union, Easton Ar gus, Allentown Democrat, and other leading and influential journals. We regret this step on the part of the Administration. Gov. Reeder is a good man and a firm, decided and talented National Democrat, whose antecedents are all in his favor. If he had been kuilty of speculating illegally in public lands, as is al leged by his enemies, (but which we do not believe,) then his removal was right and prop er, and no other course would have met with the sanction of the public. But if, as is more likely, his ejection from office was brought about by the influence of the notorious String fellow and his ruffian associates along the bor der of Missouri, then, we hesitate not to say, it is an act which must recoil with terrible severity upon those who counciled it. Perhaps, however, the safest plan is to re frain from any extended comments at the present time. When the documents, con nected with the removal of Gov. Reeder shall be made public, as we suppose will be done, and when we shall see his response, it will be time enough for the public to form a correct and enlightened judgment upon the merits or demerits of the act. .His successor, Hon. JOHN L. DAWSON, is al so a high-toned, honest and influetitial.Demo crat, and, if he accepts, will enter upon the discharge of the duties appertaining to the, of fice, with the best wishes of the Democracy of Pennsylvania for his futuseiludess and pros perity. What his fate renette amony the " border ruffians" who infest that far off ter ritory, remains-to be seen. SPIRIT RAPPING.-A. G. Curtin, Secretary of the Commonwealth, and John H. Diehl, President of the last Common Council, call a Whig Convention for the nomination of a candidate for Canal Commiessioner, at Har risburg, on the 11th September. These men have acted with the American party, as spies we presume, and now, having gained all they coUld, show their duplicity by coming out with a call for a Whig Convention. Out of politics, such conduct would he called knavery, but we presume it is all fair when used-in the trade of partizanship. We are glad to se( such men leaving the American party. Their contact injured it, and their associations brought no credit. If they can galvanize the Whi g party and rap its defunct spirit into existence, we shall take pleasure in running a tilt against its nominee next fall. Va. We clip the above from the Philadel phia Sun, a paper whose editors, doubtless speak by the book. The so-called Whig State Central Committee, of whom A. G. CourfN is Chairman and JOHN IL -Duni. Secretary, (both Nichts Wissers ) is comp - ed !almost entirely of Know Nothings; an the object of calling a State Convention at so late a period as the .14th of September, for the purpose. of nominating a candidate for Canal Commissioner is doubtless a Know . - •- - Nothing trick intended to transfer the Whigs, body and breeches, over to the tender mercies of the Know-Nothing leaders. But we much mistake the character of the old line Whigs of Lancaster County, if they can be sold so easily; and we are pleased to find that the Examiner of this city understands the movement, and is disposed to guard its friends against the foul conspiracy of Messrs. Curtin & Co. Many of these gentlemen are honestly and deter_ minedly opposed to the secret proscriptiouists, and we believe that, when the election comes round, they will be found arrayed with., their DemoCratic neighbors in casting their votes for that honest and incorruptible old Demo crat, Aar-reLD PLumaki, than whom a better or e.'purer roan does not exist in the broad litnifs of the commonwealth.

My Dear Sir:—On my return from a short absence frLut home, I found ,your letter of the 29th May, asking whether, in my opinion, a valid election of U. S. Senator could be held by members of the Legislature assembling in Convention on the first Tuesday in Octobi3 next. In reply to which let a dispassionate view.oLthe•question_betaken— In article 1, Section 3, of the, Constitution of the United - States, - it ie provided that the Senate of the'United Stabts'shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by, the Legislature thereof; for six years. • . No person shall be .a Senator who shall not have attained the age of thirty_ years, and been nine years a citizen of the United States, and who shall not when elected be an inhabi tant of that State for which he - shall be cho sen. In Section 4, same article, it is providedthat the times, places and manner of holding elec tions fur Senator and Representatives shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof, but that Congress may at any time by law make oi . alter such regulations, except as to the places of choosing Senators. In pursuance of these constitutional pro visiona, the Legislature of Pennsylvania by the act of 21st July, 1839 p and the supplement of the 18th April, 1853, have'provided that, "The election of Senators to represent this State in the Senate of the United States shall take place as follows, to wit: Each house of the Legislature .0101 appoint one teller and nominate at least one person to fill such office, and at least one day previous to• the joint meeting hereinafter mentioned communicate to the other House the names of the persons so appointed and nominated. , " At the hour of twelve on the second Tues day of February next preceding the expira tion of the Constitutional term of a Senator aforesaid, the members of both Houses shall meet in Convention in the Chamber of the House of Representatives. The Speaker of the Senate, or in his absence, the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall preside, and in the absence of both, a President pro tempore shall be appointed by joint votes. " When the Convention shall be organized as aforesaid, the members present shall pro ceed to choose viva voce from the persons so as aforesaid nominated a Senator to represent the State in the Senate of the United States.— The names of the persons voted for, and of the members voting, shall be entered in writing by the tellers, who shall report to the Presi dent of the Convention the number of votes given for each candidate. "If neither of the candidates shall receive he votes of a majority of the members, a sec md poll shall be taken, and so from time to time, until some one of the candidates shall receive the votes of a majority of the members " If the election shall not be completed at the first meeting the President shall adjourn the meeting to such time as a majority of the members then present shall determine, and so from time to time until some one of the can didates shall receive a majority as aforesaid. " When the election shall be closed as afore said, the President of the Convention shall announce the person who shall have received a majority of votes aforesaid, to be duly elect ed a Senator of the United States," and sign certificate, &c. " Two (of the certificates) shall be preserved among the records and entered at length on the journals of each House. " Whenever a vacancy 'by resignation or otherwise shall happen in the representation of this State in the Senate of the United States, the Legislature if in session shall within eight days after being informed of the same by the Governor proceed to supply such vacan cy by election conducted in the manner here in before prescribed." On the second Tuesday of February last, the members of the Senate and House of Rep resentatives of Pennsylvania were in Conven tiun as prescribed in the foregoing acts of As sembly, and went into an election for United States Senator to till the vacancy which would occur on the 4th of March, 1855, by the expi ration of the constitutional term of the Hon. James Cooper, then a Senator.' After several ballots, in none of which any candidate ob tained• a majority of the votes of the members present, the Convention adjourned until the 27th day of Februtiry, when the members again assembled in Convention, and a number of further ballots took place, with a like re- suit. The Convention then adjourned until the first Monday of October next. Subse quently, on the Bth of May last, both branch es of the Legislature adjourned sine die. tin der these circumstances can the members of the Senate and House of Representatives le gally assemble and go into an election of a Senator upon the first Monday of October next? I am of opiniOn they cannot ; and will brief assign the reasons upon which this opinion founded. • The Constitution of the United States pro vitles that the Senators from each State shall be chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six years. The time, place and manner of choos ing them to be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof. Accordingly we find that Pennsylvania has prescribed the mode by joint ballot, in Convention of the members of both Houses. In other States each House votes separately and then there'is often a disagreement ; one House giving a majority for - one candidate, and the other fi)r another. The Convention of the members in joint meeting is, therefore, but Me manner in which the Legislature sha!l choose the Senator. The Constitution of Pennsylvania, Article 1 Section 1. Title "of the Legislature," says "The Legislative power of this Commonwealth shall be vested in a General Assembly iva)ich shall consist of a Senate and House of Repre sentatives." In their Legislative capacity each House sits separately fur the enactment of Laws.-- They meet in joint Convention, by the terms of the Coustitution, to elect a State Treasurer, and to. have the returns of the election of Gov ernor opened and read, and the result pro claimed. The joint meeting, for the election of Senat ors, is a matter prescribed or enacted by the Legislature- themselves, and is not a corpora. tive constitutional provision. It is therefore subject to the control of the Legislature. When the adjournment of the Convention or joint, meeting took place, it Was subject to the implied condition that the Legislature should be then in session. The two Houses, according to uniform custom, would have to assemble in their respective Chambers, and the members of the Senate then proceed to the Hall of the House of Representatives for the joint meeting. Even in oidinary legislation, you find eith er House frequently postponing the considera tion of a bill to a - day after the period when the Legislature will probably adjourn sine die, which is equivalent to defeating the bill, for no one can for a moment, suppose.the appoint ment of such a day for hearing the bill, could control a subsequent adjournment sine die. A motion to postpone indefinitely, and a mo tion to postpone to a day beyond the session, have always been regarded as synonimous.— In Parliamentary usage they are identical. In the absence even of any positive Legislative enactment, universal usage or custom is the best possible exponent of the intention of the Legislature. The 17th Section of Article 1, of the Con stitution of Pennsylvania provides that " neither House shall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other place than that in. which the two Houses shall be sitting." When both Houses have agreed upon an. adjournment sine die, as was done by the late Legislature, they have virtually repealed the previous res- L.ution of the Convention adjourning this elec tion of a U. S. Senator. until the first Monday ;n October next. the two liouses having by the Constitution : the right so-to agree, and in all their doings except in specified cases, or for special purposes, acting as separate bodies, by the terns of that instrument; their separ ate, yet concurrent action, would necessarily control and rescind any previous action in re lation to a future meeting. The Legislature having by the concurrent action of - each House agreed to adurn sine die, all their functions as a Legis[a'cure ceased; and'they • caii &tine further act as a.'

Writ of Habeas Cor pus, hi the-case of Pass More Williamson, (an Abolitionist of Philadelphia,) confined in Pris on,•by order of Judge Kane, fora contempt of Court, in making a false return to a writ re specting the slaves of M. Wheeler, was heard before Chief Justice Lkits a few days ago, and the application refused. The learned Chief Justice has filed a very able opinion in the case, from which we Make the following ex tract:. It is alleged that the right of property can not be determined on lu4beas corpus. It is true that the habeas corpus Oct was not intended to decide rights of property; but the writ at com mon law may be issued Ito deliver an infant to a parent, or an apprentice to a master. Com. vs. Robinson IS. and 1., 35 B. On the same principle, I see no reason why the . writ at com mon law may not be uk3ed to deliver a slave from illegal restraint, and restore him to the custody of his master. (But granting, for the purpose of the argument, (which I am far from intimating,) that the DiStrict Judge made an improper use of the w 4 that he erred in de ciding that the prisoner; refused to answer it; that he also erred in the construction of the answer which was given, and that he other wise violated the rights of the prisoner; it is certainly not in my povier to reverse this de cision. If a writ of habeas corpus had issued from a State Court to the United States Marshal, ana that Court had adjudicated that the Mar shal was guilty of a contempt in refusing to answer it, and had committed him to prison, the District Court of thel United States would have no power to reverse that decision, or to release the Marshal front imprisonment. No Court would tolerate such an interference with its judgments. The respect which we claim for our own adjudications, we cheerfully ex tend to those of other Courts within their re spective jurisdictions. For these reasons, the*rit of habeas corpus is refused. Ella LEWIS. August Ist, 1855. TRUE AMERICANISM.—Hun. George Evans, late Senator from Maine,i addressed the Whig State Convention there, and alluded thus to the Mock American o4 , ,anization :—" Talk about free Americans! there is not a serf un- der the most despotic goyernment of Europe, not a hod-carrier on the continent, who would submit for a moment to be dictated to in mat ters of opinion. No, sir ;:here the true Amer ican principle is the right of private judg ment' the right of forming our opinions and !I.cting upon them, and of avowing them openly. But this party were to get up an in tensified American feeling by violating the first right of an American citizen—the right to vote and think and act as he deems best, instead of being driven to the polls by task masters. What, have they the presumption to tell us that these are Whig doctrines and principles, and that they have only gone to another party, and still retain their princi ples? Sir, if these are Whig principles, I re pudiate them now and forever." (Great Ap plause.) 411. AN AVALANCHE OF BREAD.—An item with this beading has been recently published, rel ative to an arrival of 30,000 bushels of wheat at one of the Southern seaports, by way of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad. The Chicago Tribune says that if this be called an avalanche, some new term must be found for the vast quantities of wheat in store in that city, there having been at one time during the present season 420,000 bushels in one ware house. Machinery is used for storing and shipping it. THAT RUSSIAN OrrEa.—A write, from St. Petersburg states that the Emperor .

Sufficient, hcrcveyer, has leaked out to know that a l county ticket is to be settled in the different lodges or councils, in the same way diet their ticket i was settled last year, and that they expect to continue the work of deception by proclaiming it an "Inde pendent Ticket?'

" Nothing affords greater facility,-or holds liut so much inducements' to abuite credit as banking. The power, to make and circulate "bank paper, as money, is a more important and dangerous power to be conferred upon any individual or corporation than. is generally supposed ; and why is it so? We will answer Ahuiviestion by..asking. another; :vita what is the great power which now controls the af fairs of the great European nations? Simply the money power. The Rothchild's are, in lict, the most .pomierfill Innen in Eiaropei So' then ti fearful power is placed in the hands of the-man or corporation authorized by the State - te makennd circulate paper matey, or any thing for money which is not of an intrin sic value' commensurate with the value it as sumes as a circulating ' medium. It may be asked, has banking privileges been the cause, directly, or indirectly, in producing , in this country the disasters which her commerce has just past through ? Our reply is as follows : "Luring the past three years the banking capital of the United States has increased out of all proportion to the growth of the wealth and population of the country. In 1851 there were just eight hundred and forty-nine banks and branches of banks in the entire Union, while at the end of the year 1854, the number had increased to. twelve hundred and eighty ; thus, in those three years, the number of banks went up forty per cent. while in the same period the inhabitants did not increase over twelve per cent. It is likely that the wealth of the country during these years in creased something more than the increase of population, but. nothing like the increase of the banks. "At the close of the year 1851, the bank discounts were about four. hundred million dollars, and at the close of 1854, they had in creased to six hundred millions. At the for mer period the specie held by the banks Was about forty-eight millions, and at the close of the latter year it was not quite sixty millions. The )nly safe and legitimate basis for bank ing is specie money ; any other is illegitimate and dangerous. In the above can be identi fied the lever which upheaved the commercial and financial superstructure of the Union, and brought bankruptcy and ruin upon the coun try. It may be said that it was over trading, this it true; but this was only the effect, the other the cause. Merchants could not over trade without capital, real or fictitious. The banks furnished the fictitious capital, and men went into business extensively, who should not have done so; goods were imported which ought not to have been imported : rail way projects were undertaken, which ought not to have been even attempted, and srecula tion in everything was the order of the day.— The farmer left his plow and his axe to spec ulate; the weaver laid by his shuttle to specu ulate ; the clerk left his counter or his desk, and figured at the stock board, becoming more familiar, and entirely more absorbed in the stock bulletin than in his employer's business. All rushed on wildly and insanely to be rich —but the race was short, and the competitors found themselves wallowing in the mire of disappointment, the chase over, the phantom fled, and "rascal," "swindler," "thief," "fugi tive," "bankrupt," and similar di:vices stamp ed upon the brows of the vast majority. "It must not be inferred from the above that we are opposed to all banking, because we are not ; but, on the contrary, do believe tharsound and legitimate banking is as ne cessary to a commercial nation as is credit." COUNCIL AT DETROIT.—The Free Press says the council met on the 25th of July. The commission consists of Hon. GEO. W. MANYPENNY, United States Commissioner, H. D. GILBERT, Agent of the Michigan. Agency, and J. L. CiiirmAN, Secretary. There was quite a full representation of chiefs of the Ot tawas, Chippewas and Pottawatomies present, from St. Marie, Iroquois Point, Chenoose, Mainstee, Mackinac, Grand Traverse,. Little Traverse, Saginaw, Grand Haven and Grand River. As a body they are grave, sensible and well behaved. The Chippewas present a remarkably pure specimen of the Indian race, and exhibit a promptness, intelligence, and ad vance in sivilization we did not expect to-see. Quite an excitinz, sceneoccurred in the Coun cil one morning when General CASS entered the room. At sight of him the Indians forgot their business and all the solemnities of the occasion in beholding their, old and distin guished friend, and thronged around him, grasping his hands and testifying their grate ful remembrance of their former intercourse with him. General CAss was addressed by. the chiefs, and made a reply replete with wise advice to them. LAW JUDGES IN TITE JURY Box—Massa chusetts has a prohibitory liquor law, regular ly enacted by the State Legislature and ap proved by the Governor; but she has also a law of recent enactment, which makes jurors generally judges of law in cases before them. In some parts of the State these two statutes nullify each other. Thus, in Boston three prosecutions have bleu tried under the liquor law, in all of which the juries judged the law to be unconstitutional, and therefore acquitted the defendants. The facts against the de fendants were unmistakeably proven, but the jurors refused to convict, because they consci entiously believed the law to be unconstitu tional. THE Ptimenkhrnia Bea.—We have received from the author, "The Members of the Phila delphia Bar," a catalogue of members from July, 1776 to July, 1855, which will be found of interest to the disciples of Blackstone. From it we learn, that in the year 1776, there wore four members admitted to practice, whose names were James Smith, Jasper Yeates, Thomas Jennings, and John Heil.)ly, all of whom have long since passed from the stuge of action; in '77 there were eight members ad mitted; in '7B fifteen; in '79 thurteen, and in 1780, live. Among the members sti ) .ll engaged in the profession, and who were admitted early, we find the names of Janice J. Barclay, Henry J. Williams, A. A. Brown, James Page, and David Paul Brown, as admitted in the year 1815: John K. Kane and Wm. M. Meredith, admitted in 1811; J. B. Sutherland, Ellis Lewis, Thomas A. Budd, and George M. Stroud, admitted in 1819; and John R. VUdges, Robert Bethel], and Samuel H. Perkins, as admitted in 1820. The work is gotten up by R. F.

And does nut that government, in accordance with our beloved principles allud ed to, say "that no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or Ohne trust under the United States !" To th.lse principles as laid down I consider my se f most solemnly pledged and sworn to maintain.

Subterranean Reign of _the Swell Heads." - Ile friends of Simon Cameron and 4f.lonstitution al ilere'eduni," have at last, it seems, returned back to "their first . position. Like the Prodigal Son, they. hai; L e sd'ught alter and found again their father's ho se, and he has nee wed them with the Vatted caf " and every evidence of paternal affection. ill'hen the ...Jug Law" was passed, it did not meet with general approval in this Commonwealth. Some opposed it through holiest motives, because they be lt ed that it would practically prove injurious to the interests of the people. But at the same time 'there were others who opposed it for different reasons. sinion Cameron was the Know-Nothing candidate to>j the United States Senate at the last session of the Litislature, and as such was defeated in his expec tations. The members that sustained him, returned diScomfited and disheartened; but like their chief to j , n, ever vigilant and active to see which way the wi d blows, us soon as they did return, they began c ring about to d soover what could be done to prop upl the falling house of the Winnebago. The liquor question had already' began to 'be agitated. the "Jlig Law" had been set up as a target for persons interested and not interested to shoot at. Ihelinow- ZAdthing party had in a measure evaporated in this connty, and some of the discerning ones saw at a glince that here would be a splendid opportunity to se' e upon a temporary galvanic battery, to inspire itsiputrid carcass with a partial degree of animation. Simon Cameron was therefore posted upon a pin nable of crystalized rum, and through the means of i th ' opposition to the ••Jug Law" is now expected to re eh the position of Senator of the United states. 'ho are the persons in this county now engaged in the advancement of this Hum and Cameron in teriest ? Jacob L. Bross, who voted for Simon in the Exiow-Nothing caucus and 'on the general question in ithe House, at the last Legislature. .1. B. Am wake, who has been "cheek by jowl" with Cameron for years. W. S. Ataweg, who is a tool and a cats paw for Jake, and, who is. willing to go in for liquor or rho liquor, Cameron or no Cameron, no matter Milt, so he can get his share of the pension. Frank Carpenter, who does not care any more about a dol taxi than ylock did—not a particle'.—and who can be a pig or a --,,, J..: aa he sees proper, who -einingeshisideas, his' friendships and his promises as etten as the Chamelon does its colors and in whose political integrity the conununity has long since ceased to confide. These are the men placed at the head of this Hum warfare,` and who have deluded into their support many honest and conscientious persons who do not for a moment suspect the object of their disinterested exertions. By egaa•iating the strength of the Anti-Jug Law party with what is left of Know-NothingiSm, they expect to elect itep reSentatives in Lancaster county friendly to Simon Calueron. • To effect this object successfully, as a matter of coirse, strict secrecy must be observed. Hence it is necessary that every thing should be done in the dayk. Nobody, but members duly initiated, and, as a matter of course, Simon himself, can be privileged to know anything of the proceedings. With this view the Anti-Jug Law party have organized them sePres into a secret association. They transact all their business with closed doors. It requires the password to be admitted into the councils. of this grt.ve and refined political Inquisition. The exact place where these meetings are held is not known. it is presumed, however, that it is either in , he garret or cellar of a certain Welshman, who halo become so completely Americanized that he has lorit all identity with his native 'country, and now goon in for nothing but Rum. The "Daily Free Fress," which was to have been the organ of the patty, fails to announce them, and. all that can be surmised is that certain well-known ass-pirsints af teLegislative honors may be seen dodging round I th corner of a street long distinguished as the re ce tacle of fish, oyster shells and waste water. It is said too that Simon has bean seen there In propria peksona, long after all sober and virtuous citizens should be in bed. - lio doubt wonderful things are expected to be ac coMplished in that "subterranean reign of the swell heads" before the election in October next. Either Jaite or Bill must go to the Legislature, and as for Gss, as a matter of course, he will carry the whale . troth! roore beautifully ' imed up party than this Rum, ri Ealow-Nothing faction, will be after the election, has neyer been heard tell of. To day I believe they meet at Wenger's,.on Gravel Hill, but neither the "Bally Free Press" nor the handbills say anything about it. The faithful will be tthere . no doubt to de- Ti ways and means for that district; and the Chair min of the Committee will be as full of business as ever.PRESTO. August 4, 1855.

Enrroa perceive with much pleasure that a course of public lectures ou literary subjects, calculated to instruct and interest the young nuns and also the young Ladies of this eumniunity, du ring the Coming WA and winter is contemplated by a portion of our citizens. I sincerely hope that the matter may be prosecut ed to a successful consummation. I am confident that a course of lectures on some of the noble themes which Literature, tithe:ice and Art furnish, would be pro ductive of a vast amount of good, and I indulge the hope that it, would meet witu liberal patronage. Alan is possessed of a mental, moral, and animal Feature, each of which has its peculiar instincts and appetites. although the whole of these have their influence upon every individual to impel him on ward in the pathway of life, yet in some minds one class of instincts predominates, and in others another class; while their combined and relative force determines the character of every man. Those persons, in whom the animal nature is the most powerful, exhibit a fondness for those amuse ments which are low noisy so., and afford a temper. ary gratification to the organs of ent3e. Such per sons will not take much delight in a course of liter ary lectures. The exercise of thought, of refined taste, and of virtuous principle, which such a course calls into action has no charms for them. There can be no doubt that in this city as well its in most other communities, very many may be found who belong to this class. Yet the very largo propor tion of our population ought to be arranged tinder another category. There is perhaps, no city of its size inthe United States where the elements of litera ry character are more abundant than in this. It is true that this character needs to be brought out and vivified. You! more, it needs the infusion of a lofty and chastened literary enthusiasm, to elevate our city to the fast place in the great Republic of letters. May we nut aspire even to this position.— Our excellent system of Public Schools, our flour ishing Young Ladies Institute, and our richly en dowed College are doing a good work for ue. •• Ex celsior" is the motto of a rapidly increasing portion of our youth, and a bright day is dawning upon us. A course of lectures as is contemplated, is calculated to hasten onward the same order of things. if successful they will plant in this soil many seeds which taking root, shall spring up, bearing blessings to the inhabitants of our city, and nobly rewarding the toils of the literary laborer. Wishing the enter prize entire success. I am yours ever, Lancaster, August 5, 1855 HEAR BENrox.-001.
