(&cbject to the decitirm of the Democratic National ' • Omvention.) gar The DEMOCRATIC STATE CON VENTION meets it Harrisburg, today. The proceedings will be given at length in our next issue. The Clans Jubilant i 'The old line Whigs of the city of New York met at Constitution Hall, on Tuesday evening last, and resolved to fire 100 guns in honor of the nomination of Mr. Fillmore. And the Know-Nothing. State Council of N. York met at Canandaigua, the same day, and adopted res olutions unanimously endorsing the nominees of their so-called National Convention. The Black Republicans have, as yet, taken no ac tion on the subject; but we should not be sur prised to hear of them any day joining jiblets with the other factions, and swearing allegi ance to Fillmore and Donelson. These different isms into which the old Fed eral party is now divided, although discordant in several particulars .agree in this one thing, viz : a bitter, undying hatred to the Democra cy. This has always been their feeling,'and however much they may bluster and threaten each other at certain times, when a Presiden tial election approaches, and the spoils of office are looming up before their . greedy eyes, they are always found 'acting in concert. The Democracy may, therefore, as well pre pare at once to meet the combined forces of the enemy, by whatever cognomen, they may be designated or known. We shall have to contend with these unscrupulous factions sin gle-handed ; and, if we do our duty we shall conquer them too. The Democratic party is the great 'Union-loving, Constitutional party of the Nation, and, when united, as we have no doubt it will be in the ensuing contest, is irresistable. In the good work we will, too, be aided by a host of patriotic and true men, formerly of the Whig party, who will not con sent to he thus summarily transferred to the Know-Nothings and Black Republicans, whose doctrines they heartily. despise. The enemy may hold jubilees and exult to their hearts' content over nominations made at Philadel ' phia, or elsewhere ; the Deinocracy will re serve their manifestations of rejoicing until after the ballot boxes are counted off in No vember next. Wif' The Pennsylvanian of Wednesday last has a strong article on the subject of the next Mayoralty of Philadelphia, and urges with much force and ability the nomination of Hon. RICHARD VAux as the Democratic candidate. Mr. V. was the candidate of the party in 1854, and made a fine run against Mayor Conrad, notwithstanding Know-Nothingism was then rampant in the City of Brotherly Love; and it is but right and proper that now, when the Democracy are in a fair way of gaining the ascendency there, he should again be the nom inee. Besides, Mr. Vaux is in every respect well qualified, and, if elected, would make one of the best Chief Magistrates Philadelphia has ever had—and is the very man to bring order out of the chaos produced in the muni cipal government by the Know-Nothing plun derers and ignoramuses who have controlled matters for the past two years. We are glad to see our friends moving thus early for the contest which is to come off in May next. Fillmore and Done'son The nomination of these gentlemen creates very little enthusiasm, so far, in Pennsylva nia—indeed, it has op . erated like a cold water bath upon the different factions into which the opposition to the Democracy are divided. The old line Whigs turn up their noses at it, because Fillmore and Don'elson are both known to be rank Know-Nothings. The Black Republicans, alias Woolly-. Heads, look blue, because neither come up to their standard on the slavery question. And the Know-Nothings Koper are chary of them, because they are afraid these men will deceive them, should they be elevated to the two highest offices in the gotlernment. The different factions 'may get up a little feeling on the subject after a while—but, for the present at least. Fillmore and Donelson are emphatically wet blanket nominations, and their names are scarcely mentioned in this region of country. Mon. Isaac E. Hiester The story is going the rounds of the press, that this gentleman has formally and publicly joined the Democratic party. We believe the story originated with the Register & Citizen, the Know-Nothing organ of this city, and, of course, should be taken by our contemporaries of the press with many grains of allowance, owing to the paternity. That Mr. HIESTER will act with the Demo crats hereafter we think altogether probable, and we shall be pleased if he does,: although we‘have never heard him express such a de termination; but that he has, tip to this mo ment, either "formally" or "publicly," in any shape or form, united with the Democracy, is iiews to us. and will be, we think, equally so to most of our roaders in Lancasier county.— Mr. H. with a number of other patrioticWhige of this City, acted with us at the Municipal election, and we think it very likely they will do so next fall, particularly if Mr. BUCHANAN should be the candidate for President; but we prefer waiting for the full development of the course of events, rather than attempt to give them a position which they may not de sire at this early period. Importitnt—lf True The New York Tribune says that a letter has been received by Francis B. Cutting, Esq., of that city, from Attorney General Cushing, which states that the Central American ques tion is in a fair way of being settled. The Clayton-Bulwer treaty has been abrogated, and a new treaty is to be formed. This state ment is corroborated to some extent from oth er sources of information, and it looks as if there was something in it. We hope the re port may prove true. 115,.. Hon. RICHARD Bnonur.An, of the 11. S. Senate will accept our thanks for a copy of the Patent Office Report for 1854. We are under obligations to A. G. CURTIN, Esq., Secretary of the Commonwealth, for his Annual Report of the Common Schools—a production of more than ordinary ability, and on which he has evidently expended a great deal of time and labor. CANAL . A. Zimmerman, Esq., of Northumberland county, at present a member of the Legislature, is strongly recom-, mended in several quarters, for the office.— Mr. Z. has the reputation of being a sound, unflinching D.emoerit, arid a gentleman of en larged experience in business, and, conse quently, well fitted to discharge the duties of Canal Commipsioner, should he be nominated and elected, B>' We direct public attention to the lands offered for sale by the Illinois Central Rail road Company. The quality of the lands, and the easy terms upon which they are offered for sale, will doubtless attract small capitalists and others who may wish to procure homes for themselves in the West. See advertise ment. Rallroads.-A Bond of Union, &o. The importance of Railroads in developink the resources of a .State, has.awakeaed the= South to a true appreciation of them; and, ae a conteniporazy well observes, "it will-not be long Wore the •circtijt of the Union will be kt . journey counted by hours ." . The same Pape: : says :=L-"Strong'prejudietits and. narrOiii views are provincial in their nature—are engi3ndeiVid' within a contracted cirele i .and are the results of a limited scope of vision. - We often con ceive the most erroneous opinions of the char acter of the people of a neighboring State, or of a distant section of the country, which ac tual observation would not only immediately dispel, but make us heartily ashamed of."— Many Eastern people, for example, who have never been west of the-Allegheny mountains —who have never been so fortunate as to see any pbrtiori of this great country, as God cre ated it—but whose infancy and manhood have been spent in the bustle of crowded cities or their immediate vicinity, havean idea that the western and south-western portions of the Re public are yet inhabited, partially at least, by the aborigines; and that the refinements of civilized society are, to a great extent, re nounced by the unhappy wight who determines to take up his abode beyond the Ohio river. Late years have, of course, dissipated, to a very considerable extent, these ridiculous no tions ; but there are yet a few, particularly among the fashionable circles of Eastern peo ple, who associate with "the West" the idea of wild and fciocious animals, stumps, and clown ish manners—in other words, rudeness and want of refinement. These vulgar provincialnotiots are 'speedily dispelled, however, by the slightest intercourse or observation. Those imaginary lines which we call State boundaries, are merely the devices of men. God has only bounded continents; mountains and mighty rivers are His land marks, and oceans define by their, coasts the limit's He has established. He dispenses the bounties of His providence with equal profu sion, regardless , of the lines which men have designated as the boundaries of civil authority. The general characteristics of our people are the same ; their pursuits are similar, and the sen timent of attachment to the same republicanism is common to all. The evidence of the same progressive spirit, the same intelligence and energy, are alike common to the denizen of the city and country,, and are every where conspicuous. All that is necessary to awaken a mutual and true appreciation of the charac ter of the people, in the various sections of our widely extended country, and promote a cordial and energetic rivalry in the arts of peace, is to increase the facilities of intercommunication. By this means the people of the North and the South, the East and the West will become better acquainted with each other's position, necessities and resources. A constant inter change of views and opinions, and the enjoy ment of mutual hospitality will be the result. Opinions founded on actual observation and matured by sound judgment, will take the place of prejudices- based upon preconceived notions of erroneous information ; and in the course of the next twenty years, the railroads of the United States will have accomplished more to cement the bonds of our political Union, than all the saving expedients that politicians could ever devise. There is another view in relation to these improvements, that is not less interesting and instructive. They seem to be a constituent part of the great progressive system of modern civilization. The rapid increase of our pop ulation, and the. progress of invention, seem to make railroad improvements a physical necessity. The developement of the latent re sources of this wonderful country appear to he necessary to furnish the means of improvement, as well :LB of actual subsistence, to a people advancing in numbers not less than in enter prise, vastly beyond any example hitherto furnished in the history of the world. The 'declining tendency of a false system of gov ernment in Europe, not adapted to the present; condition of its subjects, is manifesting itself' in various ways, and is contributing to in crease in this country the amount of labor necessary to complete the vast system of im provements now in progress from one extremity of the Union to the other. , In all this there is something more than mere human Alight and enterprise—there is a working out of a great design, beyond the power and control of individual men. Its ul timate result will be the establishment of a better and more just social and political system wherever its influence may be extended. Nor should we forget that Lamm is the RAND, as CAPITAL is the HEAD, of the great work now being accomplished ; and that the develope ment of natuirtil resources by the application of intelligent industry properly protected by just laws, is the epitome of our wonderful progress. Let the rights and true interests, therefore, of the laboring classes, who are em phatically the bone and sinew/Of the nation, be guarded. and protected. If the hand is crippled, the enterprise and ingenuity of the head will - be of no avail. If avarice produced no antagonism between labor and capital, what immense benefits to all might be secured, and how our gjeat country - would go forward with giant strides to the realization of her destiny! Lancaster County Legislation. A bill has been reported in the House for the relief of the widow of Joseph C. Channel, who was killed on the railroad, during the 113. A year. By Mr. Orr.

At the municipal election held Frederick City, Md., on the 25th ult., the Democrats elected the Mayor, and four out of the five Aldermen, by a handsome majority. At the Corporation election held in George town, D. C., .the same day, the Democrats swept tb e board clear—electing 5 Aldermen and 10 Councilmen. The Know-Nothings did not elect a single man. Twelve months ago the Hindoos had com plete control of both cities. see• The breaking up of the ice in the Ohio and Misesouri rivers, has done immense dam age to property. Both at Cincinnati 'and at St. Louis a large number of Steamboats have been broketk and sunk--at the former some eight or nine, and at the latter place eleven, with a great number of smaller craft. The loss at both • places is estimated at over $200,- 000. The Kansas Question. The! opposition are hard to please.

Kansas, to protect the settlers in their legal rights and privilege; and to put a stop to anlavirfal interference from abroad. At length the President has issued his procla mation, announcingchis purpose to do exactly this and, a little more, viz : To suppress in surrcieticni in Kansiul against the laws of that State and of the 'United States. This last is more fhan'the preachers of peace and `good will to men through the muzzles of Sharp's rifles, bargained for. They would like to have the national force employed to repel the "border ruffians" of Missouri, but not at all to repel. the Abolition "ruffians" who enter the territory with arms and ammunition accom panying or following them, for the express purpose of resisting the territorial government and setting its officers at defiance. The na tion may well be thankful that it has at its head a man whose' ye and whose heart em brace the whole country, and- who will not lend himself to promote schemes of sectional selfishness and ambition. The troops that he will send will represent the nation, and under the lead of judicious and intelligent officers will doubtless aim to correct whatever is outrageous within the ter ritory, Whether imported from Missouri or Massachusetts. The presence of such a force is apparently the only means of preventingan armed collission at no distant day, between the territorial authorities of Kansas and the revolutionists. Do the Abolition Republicans of We East desire to prevent suoh a collision ? We doubt it; and hence, perhaps, their great est objection to the interposition of the nation al government. They have predicted blood shed, and fomented it—and why should their labor be lost? Foolish men! they tell their dupes that the way to prevent ,bloodshed in Kansas is, to send on plenty of Sharp's rifles, and emigrants competent to use them. The way to prevent an explosion is to buy a keg of powder light a match, and place it within an inch of the bung hole ! No, in our opinion, if Massachusetts and other Eastern people had not attempted to forestall the question of slavery in Kansas, Missouri would not have attempted it. The Abolitionists and their abettors commenced the game, and if they were personally'there to play it out we should not be much disposed to complain. But to put forward comparatively innocent men to take the brunt of the conflict, while the chief instigators skulk behind pine boards, is neith er fair nor honorable. It is, however, just like Abolitionism." Mr. Buchanan in New York The New York Atlas of the 24th ult., says : "We cafe not what may be said by trick ing and designing politicians, who manage and control humbug primary elections, and manufacture bogus representatives for the masses, in party conventions, because we know that the people of this State—the dem ocratic heart of New York—the soul and body —bones and breeches of the old democracy— is nearly unanimous in favor of Mr. BUCH ANAN for the next President of the United States. They expect him, and nobody else, to be nominated at Cincinnati, whether the 'hard' or the 'soft' delegates are admitted from this State, to vote for or against him—or whether both are received, or both rejected." Again :—"Nominate JAMES BUCHANAN for the Presidency, and that, will satisfy all—recon cile all—unite all—and concentrate the dem ocratic vote of the State." And yet again:— "The nomination of Mr. BUCHANAN at Cincin nati, is considered equivalent to an election, by all intelligent politicians, who study the signs of the times and mingle with the multitude." Millard Fillmore It appears that an effort is being made to create an impression on the public mind that this gentleman is not a member of the Know- Nothing order. Of course this is a part of the game of deception which is to be practiced in the ensuing Presidential campaign, for the purpose of catching the old line Whig and anti-Know-Nothing vote. But it will not avail these midnight plotters. Evrey sensible person must know that, if Fillmore were not a mem ber of the llindoo tribe, his name never would have been introduced into their Convention. The following dispatch from Canandaigua, N. Y., will put the matter at rest : CANANDAIGUA, Feb. 27.—The number of delegates in attendance at the State CounCil is much larger than yesterday, and more are ex pected during the proceedings to-day. The statement made at Philadelphia, that Mr. Fillmore was not a member of the Order, was contradicted by the President of Council 171, of Buffalo, Who gave the assurance that he himself was present when the obligation of each of the degrees was adminiOired to Mr. Fillmore, and that he is a mentEer in good standing. Great enthusiasm prevails, and the proceedings have been very harmonious. The Editor , . Book Table INDIA: THE PEARL OF PEARL RIVER. By Mrs. Southworth. Published by T. B. Peterson, Phila. This book, taking It all in all, is the best work Mrs. Southworth has yet written. It is one groat merit in her fictions, that they faithfully delineate life and manners, without entering on vexed social, religions, or political is sues. In "India," the reader will find a vivid delineation of the South• West. But this is nut all the characters are boldly drawn, the incidents natural, and the action of the story rapid and absorbing. The two heroines are finely contrasted. The hero is a noble creation ; strong of will, earnest In purpose, firm for the right, and persevering to the end in whatever ho believes to be justice and truth.— We cannot recall, in any late work, a character so ideally lofty, yet so faithful to reality. Tho heroic spirit in which he goes West, abandoning the luxuries he has been accus tomed to, and settling down in his rude log but, determin ed to conquer fortune with his own good right hand, is, indeed, the true type of a self-relying American. No fiction of Mrs. Southworth's bears such proofs of careful finish.— It ought on those several accounts, to have a popularity unrivalled by any of her former worke, spite of the immense circulation they have attained.

STEAMBOAT LING.—We invite attention to the advertisement elsewhere in to-day's paper, of the Daily Steam Packet Line from Pitts burg to St. Louis. The boats on this line are unexcelled in their construction, for beauty and comfort, and the officers are gentlemen noted for their courtesy and affability. We recomtnend this line to all who wish to get to any point between Pittsburg and St. Louis. 18 .We call the attention of Merchants, Booksellers, Druggists and others, to the ad vertisement of "The Croton Manufacturing C 0.," who have removed to 10 Courtland st., New York, in another column. This Compa ny undoubtedly stand at the heed of the Trade, both in quantity and variety of the goods they manufacture and import ; as they are con sbuitly manufacturing, they keep up a full assortment at all seasons of the year, and are fully prepared to fill orders for goods in their line at any time. Dar LaAHEY, the Monk of La Trappe, who, it will be recollected, figured in this and other cities, in certain "awful disclosures," and who was afterwards imprisoned for life in Wiscon sin for murdering the paramour of his wife, has repented, recanted and confessed his im posture. The Platforms-01d and-New: -.-The Know-Nothing Convention at IPhila_ ifelphta, week before last, made some modifi '-ca` tions with regard to the pldtfons adoptedin 'bide. The Bth section oMie plittforkreadtt ,,-Kv :;Resistance to the aggressive7po: licy,anacixir siiiiting tendencies of the Rstmarr Cat ic 'Church in our country, by tlteindvtuscotitent to sll political stations—executive, legisbitive„ , ittafiud, or diplomatic—of tittifte onlyirho do . not hold civil all ante, directly or indirectly, to any foreign pNer, whether civil or ecclesi astical, and who are imericans by birth, edis cation and training; thus fulfilling the maxim: "AMERICANS ONLY SHALL GOVERN AMERICA." The sth section of the new, has been sub stituted for the above, and reads : No person should be selected for political station (whether of native or foreign birth) who recognizes any allegiance or obligation of any description to any.forsign prince,, po tentam,. or power, or who refuses to recognize the Federal and State Constitutions (each within its sphere) as paramount to all other laws, as rules of political action. We refresh the minds of our readers with the famous 12th section, that has given so much rouble to the Know-Nothing party. "It is hereby declared, as the sense of this National Council, that Congress possesses no power, under the Constitution, to legislate upon the subject of Slavery in the States, where it does or may exist, or to. exclude any State from admission into the Union because its constitution does or does not recognize the institution of Slavery as apartof its social sys tem ; and expressly pretermitting any expres sion of opinion upon the power of Congress to establish or prohibit slavery in any Territory, it is the sense of the National Council that Congress ought not to legislate upon the sub ject of slavery within the Territories of the United States, and thht any interference by Congress with slavery as it exists in the Dis trict of Columbia, would be a violation of the spirit and intention of the compact by which the State of Maryland ceded the District to the United States, and a breach of the Na tional faith." The above was rescinded, and in its stead he following 6th section of the new, substi uted : "The unqualified recognition and mainte nance of the reserved rights of the several States, and the cultivation gf harmony and fraternal good will between the citizens of the several States, and to this end, non-interfer ence by Congress with questions appertaining solely to the individual States and non-inter vention by each State, with the affairs of any other State." • How far in the end the adoption of this Gth section may go to restore harniony in the Hindoo ranks, remains to be seen. At first it produced discord and disruption in the tessel ated ranks—but then die new party is made up of whippable material. Rebellion in the Camp The delegates to the Know-Nothing Nation al Conventim!who voted for George Law and Gen. Houston—some thirty in all—have en tered the following protest against the nomi nation of Mr. Fillmore : ' Protest—We a portion of the Delegates to National American Convention from the State of. New York, protest against the Presidential nomination made by that Convention, upon the following grounds: First—The nominee is not a member of the American party. He has never been inside of a council room, and no act of his life, no word spoken, or line written by him, of which we have any knowledge, indicates he sympa thises with that party, or that he would carry out its principles. Second—His nomination we regard as an utter betrayal of the great American move., ment ; a traitorous attempt to wrest it from its purpose, and make it minister to the selfish ambition of the leaders and. demagogues of the dead organization of the past. Third—He was forced upon the State of New York by Southern votes against the wish of our State delegates, and from those States which no man pretends can carry their vote for an American President. Fourth—He was forced upon the State of New York against the express wish of a large majority of our State Legislature ; against the express wish of a majority of the State officers, -and, we repeat, against the express wish of two thirds of our delegates to the Convention. Fifth—He was not nominated by a majority of the States, or by the delegates of a majority of the States. Several States were permitted to cast their votes through a single delegate, who cast the whole number of votes to which his State would have been entitled. Such votes wore cast by parties who had previously protested against the proceedings and retired from the Convention. Puzzled by ,the astounding number of fac tions—pro-slavery, anti-slavery, pro- Catholic, anti-Catholic, pro-foreign, anti-foreign—each laying claim to be the only original and ver itable "AmeriCan Party," the- New York Courier d- Enquirer philosophises thus : "Physiologists tell us that an alligator, when cut in two, keeps on manifesting for a while equal vitality in the head and tail. The one snaps, the other slaps. It - has been a mooted point which extremity in this con dition was the true alligator. Now 'Sam' has been often heard to say there was much of the alligator in him. lie, too, has been dis sected; aye, ho has been quartered; nay he has been torn into more pieces than was ever Acteon by his own hounds.— They halved him in June, at Philadelphia, on the Twelfth Section. They quartered him in November, at Cincinnati and Springfield, on the Fusion Plank. And last week they cut him into mincemeat, at Washington, in the grand final fight for Speaker. Pieces were found in all parts of the field of battle. Every camp has something of him to show. His skin is already, like Ziska's, in a drumhead, the Democrats'.big war tom-tom. But of all these pieces, which is 'Sam?'---the `Sam?'—the true 'Sam ?'—the veritable, identical 'Sam?'— Aye, there's the rub. We can't answer it.— Who can?" The Courier & Enquirer is right; but the above article was written before the recen. meeting of the Know-Nothing assemblages in Philadelphia. That paper would now he more puzzled than ever to discover the simon-pure, unadulterated "Sam." It is very doubtful whether that distinguished personage, about whom every body has been talking for the last two years, is even conscious of his own identity at the present time. MORE GOLD I—The steamship' Illinois ar rived at New York, from Aspinwall, on Wed nesday, with California mails, and $1,140,208 in treasure. The interior of Peru is very much agitated. Many of the disappointed Yankee gold seekers on•the Amazon, are said to h avejoined the Indian tribes, and become the terror of the Peruvians, upon whom they make incursions. A party of twelve of these Americans having robbed the villages on their way down the Amazon, shot a sentimel on the Brazilian border,. and were followed by the guard, who killed eleven of them. The twelfth man escaped. Small pox, dysentery and fever were prevailing fearfully along the Amazon. At Hong Kong, in China, the American consul has been arrested and put on trial, in a civil court, for interfering with the British local police, who unlawfully at tempted to arrest the captain of an American vessel. In Oregon and Washington territories the Indian war still rages, and several fresh fights with the savages had taken place.— Great discontent was manifested. with the neglect of General Wool to provide for the de fence of the territories. Governor Stevens has returned from his expedition ,to the Blackfeet country, where he made a treaty. ' Ho differs radically from General Wool's judgment, and says that the winter is the best time to fight the Indians. Hon. Edward B. Hubley, for several years member of Congress from the .Sohuylkill district, and subsequently Canal Commissioner, died at Philadelphia, on the 22d ult., in the 65th year of hie age. The Foreign Enlists:pent Correspondence. WASIIINGTON, Feb. 28.—The documents and -correspondence in the British Enlistment Case, 'sent i n to the Senate to-day, - comprise about e'hundred foolscap pages, one-third relat ingirahe movements to sup p ress recruiting, the orders ilthe Attorney General Abe trial of faertir;^-lte.';'l&c. The first letter froth - Mr. 441.4 toter. Thichanan;aated &tile 9th-last, . Hays-- e President will be much'lpleased to leariiT , slthe British Goternmerithas net di rected the enlistment, and has condemned the conduct of -the officers thus engaged, called them to account, and taken immediate meas ures to put a stop to the proceedings. Mr. Buchanan communicated these views of the,President to Lord Clarendon, July 13th, Mr. Marcy to Mr. Buchanan, July 15th, says, somethln4 more Han a disavowal is look ed for from Great Britain and the latter promptly to retrace her steps ; adding that this gives grade importance to the subject.— The President expects from Great Britain to take effective measures to discharge from her service such in it who were enlisted in the United States, or who left this country under contracts made here to enter as soldiers in the British army. Mr. Buchanan to Mr. Marcy, Jaly 16th, re ports Lord Clarendon as saying that any infringement of the laws of the United States was entirely contrary to the positive instruc tions of the British Government, and as think ing that our government had no just cause of complaint, as the British Government had determined that all proceedings for enlistment should terminate, and that instructions to that effect had been sent here beftA Mr. Bu chanan's note was received. Mr. Marcy writes to Mr. Crampton, 'Sep tember sth, wishing to know how far the scheme of recruiting within the United States has been authorized or sanctioned by the British Government ; to-which Mr. Crampton replies, September 7th, that he will wait for directions from his government before reply ing at length. - Mr. Buchanan to Mr. Marcy, September 28th, says Lord Clarendon's note.to him ren ders it improbable that Mr. Crampton will receive any snch instructions, and the propo sitions of his lordship will not remove the un favorable impression. Lord Clarendon to Mr. Buchanan, Septem ber 27th, complains that we have violated our neutrality, saying that arms and military stores in large quantities have been sent from the United States to Russia. Hs says, more over, that plots have been openly avowed" and compromises entered into, to cause insurrec: tion in her Majesty's Dominions. Mr. Marcy sends Mr. Buchanan, Oat. Ist, a report of the trial of Hertz, saying the dis closures made thereby leave no doubt of the facts in tne case. Mr. Buchanan to - NI r. Marcy, Oct. Bd, says, the enlistment case presents a serious aspect, and remarks that the plots referred to by Lord Clarendon, menu the movements of the Irish Emigration Society of Boston, the mem bers of which must be astonished at the im portance theit 4 scheme has elicited from. the British Gevernment and press. - Mr. Buchanan (no date) assures Mr. Marcy that he did not entertain the most remote idea that the enlistment question had not been sat isfactorily adjusted, until he learned the com plietty of Mr. Crampton iu the affair. Mr. Marcy to Mr. Buchanan, October 13th, says the President demands redress. Mr. Buchanan to Mr. Marcy, November 9th, relates his conversation with Lord Clar endon. Lord Clarendon to Mr. Crampton, Nov-16th, says, that Her Majesty did - not doubt that the frank expression of the regret for any viola tion of the United States law, which, contrary to instruction might have "taken place, and the determination to remove all causes for fur ther complaint by puttiug an end to all pro ceedings fur enlistment, which ought satisfac torily to terminate the difference between the two Governments. The information posessed by Her Majesty is imperfect. Direct charges should be made. No offence to the United States was offered or contemplated, and our relations of friendship should remain uninter rupted. Mr. Marcy, December 28th, sends Mr. Bu chanan a very long letter, recapitulating the occurrences respecting the enlistment and saying of Mr. Crampton: "His connection with this affair has rendered him an unac ceptable representative of Her Britanic Majesty's Government near this Government, and you are directed by the President to ask Her Britanic Majesty's Government to recal him. 4 Similar instructions were also sent with regard to Messrs. Rowercraft, Barclay, and Matthews, Consuls at Cincinnati, New York and Philadelpha. Mr. Buchanan to Mr. 111arcy . , Feb. Bth, 1856, says, he had an interview with Lord Clarendon, and after some preliminary con versation on the subject of the prospect of peace with Russia, lie informed Lord Claren don, that he had come on purpose to read to him Mr. Marcy's dispatches to him, (Mr. Bu chanan,) of December 28th, in reply to Lord Clarendon's despatches to Mr: Crampton, of 16th of November, wishing to correct an er ror, or rather an omission in his (Lord Clar endon's) report of a remark made by Mr. Buchanan, in Lord Clarendon's despatches to Mr. Crampton. Mr. Buchanan read to, hip lordship the fol lowing paragraph,, from hid — despatch to Mr. Crampton, of the 15th of November :—"Before I proceed to offer any remarks on this (yours of the 13th) it will be proper to state that when it was read to me by Mr. Buchanan, I had no cognizance of Mr. Marcy's despatches of July 15th, to which lr alludes, and of which a copy was transmitted you, and upon my ob serving this to Mr. Buchanan, he said he had not thought it necessary to enclose it to me, as before it reached him he had received my note of July 16th, which he thought would finally settle the questions which had arisen between the two Governments." Continuing his statement, Mr. Buchanan says :—"I then observed to his lordship that the omission consisted in not having added the qualification which I made at the time to this remark, that 'when I received your despatches of July 15th, I had not the least idea of Mr. Crampton's complicity in the business of re cruiting. In truth, I never had until I re ceived your private letter of September 2d.' His lordship said that he did not recollect that I had made this remark at the time, though this was quite probable, as he did not recollect I had previously informed him more than once, when speaking in reference to the satisfaction I had expressed in transmitting to you his note to me of the 16th of July, that' had no ideaof Mr. Crampton'sconsplicity in the affair. I stated it was quite certain.— I had always been on my guard in conversa tion with him on the subject, from the time I first heard from you of Mr. Crampton's alleged complicity. He said he had no doubt I was correct in my recollection, and I told him that in this I could mit mistake, -not only because my mem ory was distinct, but because I had made notes of our conversation soon after it occur red. He said, for his own part, he never had time to make such n,otes, and repeated that he had no doubt my statement was correct, and his regret that he had not embraced' my re marks In his despatches to Mr.Crrunpton, but observed that he did not see its importance.— I told him it might perhaps be of some cense 'queries to me, and I had ever considered Mr. Crampton's complicity in the affair, as of grave importance. I then mentioned that in other respects his statement was not altogeth er correct, and I repeated to hi'm the language which I had employed on that occasion, as follows:—"I ditimot deem it necessary to com municate this despatch (that of the 15th of July) to your lordship, until I should hear from Mr. Marcy on the subject of your note of the 16th of July, which I thouight at the time would finally settle the question, because I had not the least idea of Mr. Cmmpton's complicity in the business of recruiting. OUR DIFFICULTIES WITII ENGLAND—In the U. S. Senate, on Friday, the chair laid before that body a message from the President in reference to a resolution offered the day, pre vious, as to an alleged offer by Great Britain to refer the construction of the Clayton-Bul wer treaty to arbitration. It appears that Lord Clarendon did make the suggestion in the course of a conversation with Mr. Buchan an, but that the latter replied jocularly that the Emperor of Russia was the only power sufficiently independent to act umpire, and England had gone to war with her. Lord Clarendon again made the proposal in a sub sequent conversation with Mr. Buchanan, but the latter replied there was nothing to arbi trate. The Uniontown Genius of Liberty is out for COl.

STILL MORE SNow.—Vire had quite a fall of snow on Wednesday last, bat at the present time it has pretty much all disappeared. It is now the beginning of Spring, and the "hoary-headed King," Old Winter, still inclines to linger with ua. We have had, in all conscience, enough of hispresence, and the sootier he departs for an. other region the better. March has male Its appearance `like a lion," and, it is to be hoped, will depart ••like a lamb." STILL A:ma'am—Another fall of snow and sleet took place on Saturday, and the walking on Sunday morning was ••awful." It blew up cold in the afternoon, but at this time (Monday morning) it has the appearance of a "thaw:' We are waiting patiently for the "good time coming." A GOOD SELECTION.—John Carmony, a SOU of our esteemed friend, Col. Cyrus Carmony, Collector of Tolls, at this place, has been appointed Clerk In the County Treasurer's Office. John is a tint-rate accountant, and an intelligent, active and reliable young Democrat. Mr. Clarkson, the former Clerk, has accepted k position in the Banking House of John K. Reed & Co. ANGTHER BANKING Elonsa.—A new Bank ing House is to be opened in this city about the middle of the present month. The company composing the firm are Messrs. John Gyger, Benjamin Eshleman, David Bair, Henry 31usschuan and Gabriel Bear, all gentlemen of ample means and resources.

RAILROAD IRON.—About 600 tons of T rail has been shipped from the Safe Harbor Iron Works to the Railroad Depot, In this city, for the purpose of relaying the South Track of the Columbia and Philadelphia Rail. road. Operations will be commenced as soon as the Spring fairly opens, and it is expected that the whole track will be finished duping the coming Summer and Fall. :,,,PRICE OF FLOEE.--The late news from Europe hos caused a downward tendency in the price of Flour, in the large cities, but not to any great extent in Lancaster. Why this should be we do 'not know. Our cit izens always pay from $l,OO to $2,00 more, per barrel, for the “staff of life," than do those of Philadelphia, notwith standing the large quantities exported from thle county to that market. ENGINEER APPOINTED.—John Frauciscus, of the S. W. Ward, has been appointed Engineer at the Water Works. This is an excellent selection, Mr. F. being an old and experienced engineer, and, of course, well ac quainted with the working of the engine which Is to be put at the Works. Besides, he is a sound and unflinching DOIIIOO. L. CHICKEN THIEVES ABOUT.—The coop of our good-natured friend J. N. WesthosTer, was broken open on Wednesday night last and robbed of eight large Shanghais. They were fine specimens of the "feathery tribe," and the thief or thieves are, no doubt, enjoying themselves to their hearts' content. Our citizens cannot be too watchful about their premises. DR. VALENTINE.—TiIe comical, witty and eccentric Dr. Valentine will give one of his amusing per formances at Fulton Hall, this evening. Dr. Valentine is the only one of the three great delineators of Yankee char acter now living, Dan Marble and Yankee 11111 having died somo years ago. • Those who have the "blue devils," or any similar complaint, should not fall to attend, as the Doctor will be sure to drive them away. DR. NEVIN'S LECTURES.—Rev. Dr. Nevin closed his series of lectures on "Christianity," in the Lec ture Room of the lot German Reformed Churelf, on Friday evening last. The Doctor is one of the most profound The ologians in the country, and those who have attended this course of lectures, could not help being benefited to a high degree. MR. Gotrcres LECTURE.—The celebrated John R. Gough will deliver a lecture at Fulton Hall, on Thursday evening next, on Temperance. The price of ad mission will be 1214 cents. Da. ELDER'S LECTURE.—"Providence, or the adjustment of Moo to the Earth, to each other and to their Destiny," was the theme upon which Dr. William Elder, of Philadelphia, discoursed at Concert Stall, to a large and Intelligent audience, on Friday evening list. It was cer tainly one of the most logical, witty, sarcastic and eloquent lectures we have ever had the good fortune to listen to.— The Doctor is one of the most original speakers in this country, and when he advances a new doctrine, he is able to sustain it by his groat powers of reason. Ills lecture was lengthy, but, so very instructive and Interesting, that the attention of the audience did not abate in the least. A Goon PRICE.—The property belonging to the estate of the late Robert D. Carson, situated on Ches nut and Charlotte streets, containing 8 acres and 32 perches, and known as the "Old Cocoonery," was sold, at public sale, on Friday last, to Charles Beal for $8,500. LEATHER STORE.—We call attention to the advertisement of M. H. Locher. Ills stock of all kinds of leather is very extensive, and his prices are moderate.— Give him a call. AGAIN APPEARED.—The late fire in Colum bia has not crushed the spirits of our enterprising friend Green. His paper, the "Spy," made Its appearance on Sat urday, looking as well, if not better, than before. Green is not the man to be kept down by fire, or anything else, Phcenis.like will rise from the ashes," and, if possible, make a more interesting and readable paper than ever. The “Spy," is always a welcome visitor to our sanctum. .ACCIDENT.—On Friday, 22nd Feb., a seri ious accident occurred at one of the Shawnee Furnaces, in this place. A number of men were engaged In clearing out the bed of the furnate, which had just been put out of blast. They had drilled a hole and charged it, but the cartridge would not explode, when they attempted to drill it out. While engaged at this, it is supposed a spark was struck, igniting the powder and causing an explosion, tearing off all the fingers on one hand and one on the other of a Mr. J. Tyler, breaking his jaw, and seriously injuring a eon of Mr. John Fisher and a lad. Dr. Mahon was on the ground at the time, and assisted by Drs. Bruner and M'Corklo, attended to the wounds of the Injured men. —Cblunthia Spy. PASSED THE HOUSE.—The bill for the relie of the widow of Joseph C. Channel, who was killed on th, Railroad, in November last, has passed the House. W• hope it may pass the Senate at once and receive the Fan tion of the Governor, as a better or more careful firemen than Joseph Channel, was never on the road. Mr. Wilhelm, the engineer, who had his thigh broken at the same time, has nearly recovered and will be able to be about in a few days. INCREASE OF SALARY.—A petition has been presented to the !louse, at Harrisburg, asking for an in crease of the salaries of the Law Judges of this county.

McMahon, Dr Samuel Parker and Abraham Peters. A JUVENILE COTILLION PARTY.—Another fancy juvenile cotillion party will be given by Professor Frank Slouch, and his pupils, on Thursday evening, March 13th. The last one was a fine affair, and gave great natl.- Liction. and there cannot be a doubt but that this party •will Le fully equal, if not superior. Those who are fond of `tripping It on the light fantastic toe" will, of course, be there in full force. Tim MeaKETS.—The markets are now plen tifully supplied with all kinds of provisions, and the prices, except in Butter, are moderate. Notwithstanding the high price paid for Butter, there are some who have no scruples at all about giving light weight. On Saturday morning the Market Master, Mr. Henry, seised a large quantity fora de ficiency of weight. COMMON PLEAS Courr.,—An adjourned Court of Common Pleas commenced its session yesterday, in this city, his Honor Judge Hayes presiding. RELIGIOUS.—Rev.

Mr. DOCanat, of New Jersey, will preach a sermon'on Sunday morning next, on the early history of Methodism In this port of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, in the Ist M. E. Church, on Duke atteet. Mr. D. established Metho dism in Lancaster. lie is 81 years of age, has been In the Ministry for nearly 60 years, and Is dill a very active man. His sermon will, no doubt, be an interesting one. SALE OF &meas.—At a public sale of stocks on Monday week, Farmers' Bank stock at $64 perithare, and Lancaster, Elizabethtown and Middletown Turnpike stock at $40@t540,25 per share. The stock at these insti tntioa must certainly pay well. WILL.
