The talented Representative in Congress frOm this
District. has left our place for Washington, carrying with
him the best and liveliest wishes of all who know him.
Mr. Wilmot stands, pre-eniiiiently, in a lofty and
commanding position. The Representative of •a large,
influential and democratic district, and receiving the en
pre and cordial manifestation of the esteem and confi
dence of his constituents. will give him a position and
an influence in the neat Congress, which will redound
to the credit of our county and our state, and win fiir
him •• golden opinions from all men." He possessor a
mind of no ordinary stamp; broad, enmprehensive and
liberal, yet strongly democratic, in his views, it cannot be
said of him,
That he narrowed hie mind
And gave up to party, whet wee meant for mankind."
Though young, he has already won for himself a fame
which has extended the length and breadth of our Com
monwealth, u a fearless, able and efficient chathpion of
Deinocracy and of the rights of man. It needs no pro
_di to mark the confidence and esteem which shall
iireafter be placed in him by the people of this state.
Gov. Skunk, and lan. Jesse Miller.
We find the following remarks in the Pennsylvanian,
and u a just and faithful and well deserved tribute to our
present worthy Chief Aligistrate, and the Secretary of
the Commonwealth, we copy them entire.
GOT. SOCNIC asu SEINIF.T.tOT Mr xcert.--Tiiese dis
tinguished functionaries, now snjouming in this city,
were yesterday visited by a great number of our citizens
of both parties. As this is the first occasion that •has
been presented to the people of Philadelphia, since the
Governor's election, to take him by the hand, the Demo
crats, as well as the Whigs, seem to regard it as a pleas
ant: duty to pay their respects to 'him. An idea may
be formed of the business habits of Governor SEIVNK,
when it is stated that, until now, his numerous public
duties, - to moat of winch ho gives his personal attention,
prevented, him from paying a visit to Philadelphia. All
the inclinations of this worthy and honest man are indeed
averse to parade; and it is possible that he preferred the
quiet of . the Executive Chamber to frequent and oaten.
tatious journeys to a gay and populous city. The char
acter of his reception, however, on the present occasion,
must have convinced him—ifhe needed that—that he has
hosts of warm and true friends in this city and county,
who will do justice to his character, and sustain him in
wise and judicious el3orts to promote the welfare of Penn.
sy lvania.
In Jesse Miller, the present Secretary of State, who
accompanies the Governor. all honest men recognize an
able, industrious, and highly exprienced officer, who will
not do a wrong to serve a friend, or withhold what is
right to injure a foe. In the whole public. course of Mr.
Miller—in all the posts of trust and honor wlVkh he has
filled—there is not an instance in which a dishonest or
unworthy act can be laid to his charge. As First Audi
tor of the Treasury Department at Washington—a place
to which he was appointed by Gen. Jsresos—he ob
tained a very high character for his unbending. integrity
in carrying out the laws, as well as for
,great sagacity
and ability ; and it Was frequently and truly said that
his decisions were rarely or never reversed by the higher
officers. As Caual Commissioner, the some principles
governed his conduct, and impelled him to stand by an
economical disbursement of the public revenuer. In
that important and responsible position—a place in which,
a few years before, the, bargainers arid the hucksters of
both parties had managed to obtain a foothold—in that
department of the government it required, however, a
bold and a courageousZ as. well as an honest and fair
dealing man; and such a man was bass Mizzza. He
refused to hold any intercourse with those who hadapecu
lated upon the public funds, and who looked to the Ca
nal Board for favors and for "contracts;" and he was
instrumental in striking out a new line of pulley, which
cannot be too much applauded, by which honest and re
sponsible public agents were secured, and a rigid and
stern accountability established. His conduct drew down
upon him the ire of those who had practised upon the
State Treasury all varieties of frauds for years, and who
had amassed fortunes at the expense of a cheated and
impoverished State. When Gov. Shunk made Mr.
Miller his Secretary of State, the hatred of this class of
jobbers broke out afresh, and they have let no occasion
pass since that time to vilify and misrepresent him. The
article, in IC well known paper of this city, of yesterday
morning, in which is contained a scurrilous and low as
sault upon Mr. Miller, is only one of the series of attacks
with which they have greeted him ever since he took of
free under Gov. Strunk. The impropriety of this assault
in a professedly Democratic raper, on a public officer
who visits Philadelphia wholly on public business, ren
ders it still more culpable.
We have, however, an abiding confidence in the raga
city and discrimination of the Democracy of Pennsylva
nia, and we believe M. Miller's past services in the good
cause—his pure and unstained public and privaterharac
ter, and his unbending integrity and unflinching firmness
in the discharge of his public duties , —would each have
been an answer, full of eloquent truth end signal rebuke,
to all the calumnies that have been fabricated and pub
lished against him. The Democracy of this State, more
over, will not allow a good and a faithful public servant
to be abused out of their confidence, eapecially when the
cause of the abuse is so transparent and an palpable in
its malignity andinjuilice And we predict that the fu
ture will approve this to be - true in the case of Jesse Miller.
H05...1093 N. Coarapasat.—The President Judge
of this judicial District, richly merits the compliment paid
to him in the following article from the Luzerne Demo-
crat. His industry is well known to the bar, as well as
people of this county, and his business habits have had
a manifest effect upon the overloaded trial list of this
county :
" We Lave heard of Judicial Farming, and'indiciat

now, the President Judge of tha Judicial District, com

beside having long since acquired an enviable reputation
as an ahle'Jurist and imparitetidge, is entitled to great

holding the regular day courts in the Quarter Sessions
here, we havefrequently visited the Court rooms in the

The corner atone of Democracy is RTOLTLAR
lions and i faithful idheremce to them by Dedoeratic
voters.- Every vote withheld from, even if not east for
the opposing candidate, goes to weaken Democracy, and
strengthen Federalism. The Democrats of Bucks are
now in the ascendancy: and have gained it by adhering
to regular nominations made in accordance to the long
established usages of the party. The Federalists once
in power, have destroyed themselves by associating with
all new tangled parties ; steadily opposing Jefferson,
Jackson. Polk, dnyder, Shunk, and the sound and ortho
&lox principles of the Democratic party, which has so
conducted and governed the NATIONAL Bllli STATIC Gov

a system of economy as will reduce heavy taxation, give
satisfaction to all well disposed citizens, and thereby make.
the success of Democracy a OLF.SBINO, instead of a
"burning curse," as the enemy pronounced it.
FINDLAY Parransos.—The Ye-election of this gen
tleman to the State Legislature from Armstrong county,
has given great satisfaction, not only to his (fiends at
home, but throughout tha Commonwealth. During the
session of 1844 and '45 he was Speaker of the House,
and it was remarked at the time, that he preitided over
that'body with great promptness and decision, blending
with these qualities, at the same time, a courteous and
amiable demeanor. He carried with him into the chair,
little or nothing of the ascerbities of political or partizan
feeling, and' his course was as impartial as it was ener
getir.
Of the members elected to the ensuing Legislature, we
notice some prominent gentJe.nen who may be desirous
of reaching the chair; but with all due deference to them
and their chime, it is to he hoped that the ume unanimi
ty among the democratic members which at the last ses
sion elevated Mr. Patterson, will again prevail, and again

' The Washington Union of Friday night eon.
talus a leading article on the Oregon Ques
tion M the next Congress." Some of its pas
sages are calculated to arrest attention—the
Upion being the official paper of the govern
tiknt. The following for example :
We allude, of course, to what we call.
with the fullest confidence. THE AMERICAN
TERRITORY OF OREGON. On this great sub
jcert, within the last three or four years, pub
lic sentiment has ripened fast. In the itidg.
went of a vast majority of this nation, the tinie
is rapidly approaching—or say, rather, has
now come—when clear right in relation to
this territory should embody itsell in posh ice
law. For more than twenty years the people
of the United States have seen what they re
gard as their indisputable title to this immense
territory swamped in negotiation. It was to
be expected from the wisdom and true policy
of the British ,ocertiment, that this negotiation,
so' barren heretofore of good result, when en
tered upon with a: new administration• which,
in its identity of opinion on this subject, is as
one man, and which is sustained in that opin
ion by au overwhelMing mass and mastery of
public sentiment—it was justly to be hoped of
the wisdom of England, that the new negotia
tion, under such auspices, and in such liana,
would, ere long. begin at least
, to secure, in
stead of defeating, as in past years it has
defeated, the great ends of international jus
tice.
But, however this may be, whether the ne
gotiations succeed or fail, there can be no
doubt that the democratic Congress now about
to assemble, will have a' great duty to do in
relation to Oregon ; and we believe that, coin
ing to Was'tington fresh from conference with
their constituents, they will come together re
solved to do it. With the strong resolutions of
the Baltimore Convention, and the s litanly and
patriotic Inaugural words of the President vet
vivid in our memory, we cannot doubt that
the administration isfidly prepared to perform
with firmness its _constitutional duty of re
commending to Congress all such measures as
may be deemed essential to the full and efficient
protection of all our rights over every rod if
that domain. on the shore of the pacific, which
is, by an accumulated mass of title, the rightful
property of the United States."
Again—" This territory lying between the
Rocky mountains and the Pacific ocean—
drained mainly by the Columbia river—bound
ed on the north, the east, and-the south by
mountain chains, and on the west by the ocean
—extends from latitude 42 deg. to latitude 54
dew. 40 min. north. It contains more than
400,060 square indes—that is, it is more than
twice as large as France, and about half as
large as all the States now subject to the Feder
al constitution. The dinterienn people claim,
against all other nations, this whole domain
as a part of their own soil."
FUTURE HOME OF THE MORMONS.—Nonika
or Vancouver Island. on the Northwest coast
of North America, is to be the final deetinaticin
and home of the Mormon people. This Island
is about 300 miles long; and 75 to 100 in width.
It is separated from the main land by a long,
narrow strait, and lies between the 47th or 48th
and 51st or 52d degrees of north latitude, ex
tending along the coast in a northwest direc
tion. The boundary line between the'Ameri
can and British possession in the northwest,
will probably pass across the Island. The
English. we believe, have one or two trading
posts on the Island. hot for the most part, it is
inhabited by Indians of not a war-like dispo
anion. It is a long journey, but can be ac
complished.
UNION OF TUE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC..-4I
is said that the Minister of Foreign Affairs in
Central America has arranged with a company
of capitalists of Belgians, French, and English,
to make a ship canal twin Lake Nicaragua to
the Pacific. the expense of which can he de
frayed for ten million; of 'dollars, which we
think can be easily done, 'using the lake for

The Mormons, it would seem,.do not con
eider-the treaty yThich has passed beween them-
Belies and the Government :Of the State of
Illinois es very'binding. Eliesh difficulties are
daily arising, and it takes al the ingenuity HO
tact of the officers in command of the forces
stationed in that vicinity to prevent an open
outbreak between the citizens and the inhabi
tants of the county adjoining. Major Warren,
who had several writs to serve in the Mormon
City. was afraid of meeting with opposition.
The annexed paragraph we extract from the
Quincy Whig, winch says the Mormons have
defied the power of the State, and declared
that no more arrests , shall be made in their
City.
*. Col. Warren, Judge Purple. and Mr.
Braytnan, Attorney for the State, visited Neu
coo. Near the environs of the city they saw
a• ambled a force of about tivo hundred armed
Mormons. This being contrary to the order
of - Gen. Harden, in relation to armed men as
sembling in the county, Colonel Warren felt it
his duty as an officer to inquire into the mat
ter. For that purpose, he invited Brigham
Young and others of the leading authorities to
a conference. He informed them that the
armed men on the prairie was contrary to or
ders, and wanted to know what it meant. To
this Young gave no satisfactory reply; he
stated, however, that it was their intention to
submit to no more arrests, and riditluled the
Court, the Judge, the Attorney of the State,
who were present. and', in substance, defied
the power of the State. After him, Elder
Taylor, another of, the Twelve, got up..and
abused the Governor. State officers, &c. Brig
ham Young again got up, and said lie was not
very good at au apology, but they must not
mind what Elder Taylor said—that he was al
ways making trouble, &c. Col. Warren told
them in plain talk what he thought of their con
duct, and that, as an officer, he should his duty
and carry out the law. While this was going
um a Deputy of tha United States Marshal ar•
rived. with a detachment of the Quincy Rifles,
with a writ for Brigham Young. char , ed with
counterfeiting the coin of the United States.—
This becoming known to the city, the excite
ment was tremendous; ihe Mormons assem
bled in large crowds, and a disposition was
manifested by them to resist all attempts to
arrest any person in Nauvoo. After a consul
tation with the officer, by Judge Purple and
others, it was deemed advisable to postpone
the execution of the writ at the time, for the
personal safety of all concerned."
Col. Warren, with the force under his com
mand, was to march into Nauvoo on the 25th
ultimo. for the purpose of executing the writs
against Redding, Brigham Young, and others,
but we are not advised of the result of this at
tempt to enforce the law. The Mormons
pear to be highly incensed at the, proceeding
against Backenstos, and think it will be anoth
er affair similar to the murder of Joe and Hi
ram Smith. His trial has been removed to
Peoria county. 4,
Important from Hayti.
By the politeness of Capt. Hoyt. of die bark
Hecla. from Port au Prince 17th Oct. we are
in the receipt of late and important news from
Hayti. •
Since the attempt of the Reoerists, some
four weeks previously, to revolutionise the go
vernment, the public mind has been kept in
constant agitation, and business has been pros
trated by. the portentous aspect of popular
feeling. Almost, every day brings forth some
additional evidence that the elements of dis
cord are fast verging towards a crisis. In the
protracted and unsuccessful efforts of govern.
ment to reconquer the eastern part of the Is
land. the flagging energies of the soldiery are
giving way to a fearful spirit of insubordina
tion, and many of their principal officers evince
an indifference to the further orders of the
President. The people of Port au Prince and
the southern departments are becoming wean•
of a war which daily assumes less prospect of
success% and which has already involved the
government in a debt far beyond its ability to
pay. The wealthy mulattoes appear to be the
special objects of oppression. Within the last
few days, without any assigned reason, some
of them have peen banished from the Island,
and others who had removed to Port au Prince
from other posts in the province, and establish
ed themselves in business, have been ordered
at the sacrifice of their Interests to return to the
places of their former residence. This kind
of proscription has been carried. so far as to
create quite a general apprehension, the ten
dency of which seems to be toward a further
division of theiovernment. k proclamation
was issued on the 12th September declaring
the Spanish ports under blockade; and that
any vessel arriving at Port au Prince from any
of the southern ports in the Island would be
confiscated. Several merchants had been or
dered to leave the island without delay.
A LONG STITCH.—Some time about the let
of July a lady of Springfield, Mass., 65 years
of age, accidentally introduced a fine sewing
needle into her hand, which was broken off,
leaving about half its length between the thumb
and fore finger, in a direction towards the mid
dle or palm of the left hand. A physician was
requested to extract it, but as there was so
little pain or inorvenience arising from it he
advised to let it remain, rather than cut among
the tendons for it. In a very few days all
trouble and apprehension were over in regard
to it ; about the last .of September, she felt
some pain in the right side of the abdomqn and
just above the hip, which she conceived to be
a spasm, and began rubbing it with her hand.
when directly the needle came forth and was
extracted. The broken point was about 7-8 of
an inch in length, and its fine polish had suffer
ed but little from corrosion. The course
which the needle too in making it circuitous
journey is entirely unknown to her. The
distance it traveled in about three months
could not be much less than four feet. its]
nearest' course; but ,for aught known might
have wandered twice that distance before it
appeared at that point from which it was ex
tracted.
ANTARACITE.—The editor of the Danville
Intelligencer. save :—There is a larger pile of
Anthracite Coal on the wharf at that place, for
the use of the Montour Iron Works, than at
any other manufacturing place in the United
States." That is a fact worth knowing. -It
augurs well for the increasing prosperity of our
manufactoriee, by which all branches 01l:si
nes@ are fostered, invigorated and sustained.—
This immense mass of coal, is but a Amp from
the bowels of the inexhaustible mines of the
Wyoming Valley. The development and
transportation of every ton of our Minerals, add
so much more to the increasing prosperity of
our already flourishing country. .
Optical illusion.
.• A beautiful optical_ phenomenon, sometimes
ellleo the mirage, was witnessed by, the edi
tor of this paper. on lake Erie. during the past
`s miner. it was a'bright hot day of July.—
We Were eluting on the deCk of a !launch
'steam-ship. running merely up the Lake with
:the south' shore full in view ; our attention di
vided between the continuous wave, thrown
up by the prow of the vessel, as it danced
away of the color of poll in the clear sunlight.
and a maps of white clouds which hung over
the shore and was continually ehanghig into
every conceivable shape of majesty and beauty;
now presenting the forms of ragged towers.
and mountain - peaks: capped with snow, and
again the outline of huge monsters, such as
we read of in the imaginary mythology of the
ancients. While dreamily regarding these
-appearances of the clouds, our eyes rested up
on a seeming avenue or archway, of variagated
hues, apparently extending through the lower
portion of the mass. As it was of the same
diversified color as the shore, it did not at first
occur to us but that we were looking through a
break in the clouds upon a portion of the coun
try beymid ; buta moment after. we perceived.
that there was a considerable space of clear
blue sky between it and the earth. We then
became aware that we were looking, for the
firs! time, upon the fain mOrgana ; and that
the beautiful avenue of brown and green fields
and forests, which we had been admiring, was
a spectral illusion, a picture of the lands be
low, prepared by the alchtmy of nature, and
set among the clouds.—Binghamton Courier.
EARTHQUAKE.—The shock of an earthquake
was felt in New York and on Long Island, on
Sunday evening. 26th ult. It was also noticed
in Stamford. Norwalk, Bridgeport. and other
places in Connecticut.' . In Stamford it com
menced about half past 6 P. M., and lasted
about 15 seconds. The earth trembled, build
ings toitered, windows rattled, stone walls were
thrown down, and the people were filled with
consternation. The shock was accompanied
by a loud rumbling, not unlike to that of a
heavy vehicle passing rapidly over a long
bridge. In Norwalk it commenced about the
same time, and similar effects were produced.
In Bridgeport it was noticed at 10 minutes
past 6. and was thought to continue about 5
seconds. In several towns in that vicinity the
shock was sufficient to jar houses and furniture
very sensibly, and its continuance was some 25
seconds.
SLAVERY r OREGON.-P. IL Burnett, Esq.
a vitizen of Oregon. in a letter which we see
in the last Platte (Mo.) Argus, says:—
" The Legislature have passed an art de
claring that slavery shall not exist in Oregon ;
and the owners of staves who bring them here
/tre allowed two years to take diem out of the
country, and, in default, the slaves to be free.
The acts also prohibit free negnies pr mulattoes
from settling or remaining in this country. and
requires them to leave in two years. and. in
default, to be hired out to the lowest bidder
who will bind himself to remove them from
the country for the shortest term of service,
and within six months after the expiration
thereof. lite ohject irto keep clear of this
most troublesome class of population."
A THUNDERBOLT OF %VAR.-A letter from
New Orleans says, "we have had among us
lately
, a tall, well-looking. distingue Scotch
man, by the name of Gen. Harrison; he is
said to be a rare fish, and a revolutionist by
trade. Report says he was in the African
war, and fought for Abd-el-Kader in 1835, at.d
had the command of five"thousand men ; that
he has lately returned from South Amelrica,
where he served with Gen. Rose. under the
Argentine Republic, and also served the Mon.
tevidean government against Buneos Ayres
and that lie has gone to Havana to see Santa
Anna, and see what he can do with Mexico !"
POST OFFICE 6:TATlsTies.—The Union gives
a statement frorn fifteen more post offices,
showing the deficit in each for the third quar
ter 0f 4 1844. In the whole fifteen offices the
deficit iy 822.624. At Philadelphia. during
the third quarter of 1844, the receipts were
$34,136, and during the third quarter of 1845,
819,795, showing a deficit of $14,341.
BLOOMSBURG IRON FURNACE.—This Furnace
continues to do an excellent business, having
made, upon an average for the last three weeks,
one hundred and fourteen tons of No. 1 iron
per week, and in one week, one hundred and
nineteen tons, were made, using less than two
and a half tons of ore ; one and a half tons of
coal, and a half ton of Limestone to a ton of
metal. This is making more Iron and using
less material, we believe, than was ever done
in the same time, by one anthracite furnace of
14 feet boshes; in this country. The other
stack will be completed and put in blast in a
few weeks.—Co/umbid.Dem.
MELANCHOLY SIIICIDE.-011 the 30th of Oc
tober ult., a man who called his name Fuller,
committed suicide by cutting his throat with a
razor at the Poor House of this county. He
was brought there the day previous by the
poor-master of the town of Winsor ; and stated
that he was from Butternuts, Otsego County.
He was respectably dressed with black coat
and pantaloons, snuff-colored vest, and fine
wool hat something worn. He was apparent

FATAL ACCIDENT.—The last Lycoming Ga.

cident which took place near the Baltiniore
s a *. Mill, in Plunket's Creek township, Ly
coming county,. on the 27th ult.
A:party of workmen, on the day the accident
happened, were engaged in sliding saw logs
front the inountain to the public road. The
logs which came end foremost, obtained an im
mense velocity in the descent, and smashed
everything hefore.them. Mr.Datid M'Casltn.
whose station was at the base orthe hill. un
fortunately remained to. the passage of the
sliding logs too kng. and when he observed
one descending the mountain, endeavored to
avoid it, hut as lie sprang aside, he noticed that
the log had taken the same direction, and lie
then escaped to run back, but slipped and fell.
The huge timber instantly, struck one of his
legs. just above The knee, carrying with it the
cap and severing the leg, just below, from the
body. The unfortunate sufferer died about 22
hours afterwards.
.. SUGAR COA FED PILLS."
If we were willing to limit the office of taste to its pro-
per sphere, and to cease eating when appetite; expressed
content, indigestion would be a much rarer occurrence in
civilized communities than it is observed to be. Hippo
crates remarked that severe perspirations arising during
sleep, without any other apparent cause, are a sure sign
that too much nourishment is made use of. The day of
reckoning will follow suclza state of repletion, which
clogs the bodily functions, and may lead to sudden death
by some acute disease, when the individual is apparently
in good health.

SPECTACLES
Of every rarefy of size and quality. 'A new inven
tion of Spectacles for distance and close reading not
excepted.--with Gold, Silver, Tertoise-shell and steel
frames, and a new improved assortment of periscopic
ground flint Glasses, of their own manafacture. They
would particularly call the attention of the public to
their spectacles for near-sighted persons, and for persons
who have been operated upon for the cataract of the
eye, an to their new kind of Glasses and Conservers of
the sight, made of the best flint and azure glass.
These glasses are .reccommended by the most cele
brated Doctors and Professors, as the best kind for pre
serving and improving the sight in continced writing
and reading, wherein they do not tire the eyes. but
strengthen and improve the vision. They arc made of
the best and finest material, end ground true and exact,
and are, therefore preferable to the mass of rough, ir
regular and unevenly giound Glasses, that are daily
palmed ofd and which are injurious to the eyes.
A uw, Spy Glasses of e‘ery size and guality.yele
iumpes, Magnifying and Opera Glasses, Microscopes
&c.. with different powers, cases of Mathematical In
struments, for schools. &c., magic lanterns, camera oh
scum, daguerreotype glasses, together with a great va
riety of articles in the Optical line, not mentioned.
Optical and other instruments amtglasses care
fully repaired at short notice. I can select glasses to
suit the visions of persons, as we see them, upon first
trial. I will remain in Towanda but a short time, and
those in want of the above articles will please give me
a call. I will, if required, go to any respectable house
where my services mac be wanted. Nov. 19, 1845.
