EIItTSUCI! between Adams' and ElwelPe law offices. Gov. Bigler and the Argus. We were not aware, in our remarks about GoT. Dumas North Branch message, that we were do• ing Gov. Jonesion any gross injustice, but it MOM that oar article has " riled" some of the amateurs who *dour the columns of the Argus with their ,-leribblings,, and - a most indignant article appears in the inns of last week. We utterly and totally disclaim any intention or wish to detract from Gov. Joarrwrom one iota of the credit which justly attaches to him for his advocacy of the completion of the North Bmnob, and his poli cy and conduct are so in contrast with Gov. Bi at.ca's, that we are willing to leave the subject to the intelligence of this community. It would have been well for the Argus editors to have given the public an idea of the policy Gov., Jourtsros was anxious to pursue before making such a wholesale declaration as is contained in the following pant ing h : "Now every roan knows full *ell, and every CIA • di I man will readily acknowledge, that if the policy of Governor Johnston had been pursued, the crimple. Lion of the canal would have depended upon no such contingency as the procuring of a loan at this time, but the water would have been let in, and the boats commenced running last September." What, we enquire, was the policy which would have brought about this " consummation mot de voutly to be wished for ?" If we remember right ly, the Ex-Gov. never menioned the North Branch but in connexion with some favorite scheme of banking—or of issuing another swarm of small notes.-. 4 measure which the people 'of the State would never sanction—irrespective of their party ties. Gov. Jonanoies favorite scheme wash's pet "sinking fund." He imagined there was a charm in the fact that to all appearance a portion of the public debt had been cancelled, which would again secure his election as Governor. We do not main to charge him with duplicity, but we firmly believe that he bad other objects more at heart than the completion of the North Branch Canal. Governor Bic:Lea's course is deserving of all praise. Regarding the early completion of the, North Branch as a matter of public policy, he has not hesitated to say so. lie has spoken oat trebly and frankly, and at the proper time. He has based his friendship and action upon the great merit of - the work. alone, and asked the Legislature to bor. row the money io complete it. That this is the wise course—that it is dictated by economy and jus tice to the North—even the amateur editors of the Argos will not deny. That his message had a pow erful influence in securing the passage of the law is universally conceded. We doubt much ii it couhrtave been carried through without this mes. sage. It strengthened the hanii of the friends of Ibe bill and inspire! the doubtful with confidence and determinaiton. If evidence was wanting to prove how efficient has been Gov. gigler's action in this matter, it could be found in the comments of a portion of the wbig press. We commend to the atention of our Argus friends, the following article which we tate from the Indeperuknt Whig, published at Lancaster, and edited by one of the editors of Gov. JOHNSTON'S late I' family organ."

RAPPITICS AT ECONOMT.-A case of considerable interest has just been decided u; Judges Grier and Irwin in the Circuit Court of the Western District of Pennsylvania. The Plain tiff was'Joshua ISTachiried and the defendants the Trustees and Elden; of the Rappite Society of Com. monists "established at Economy. The Society was first organized in Butler Co., Pa., in 1804, by Geo. Rapp and his associates ; in Ijl4 they removed to Harmony, in 1823 they returned to Pennsylva. nia and rounded Economy. By their articles of eareemenuevised for the last time in 1835 each member tenet:noes en.persruat session of the Society and covenants that in cane of withdrawal from membership, he will claim nigh. ing u wages or profits or as his by ant manner of right, and that it shalt be len altogether to the dis cretion of the Snperintendent whether to give him anything as a donation, or not. • Ti seemv, however, that in 1835 a difficulty took place in the Society, and t portion of its members seceded. They received from. George Rapp the I Superintendent. $102,000 so a sonsidension for their part of their common property.and withdrew, to a place in the vicinity called Phillipsburg. With some of dies...parties Joshua Nachtrieb, the plain. lift in the trial, had had some intercourse.

How It WOrha The desperate alternative resorted to by the Tate State Convention to secure a pliable 81/411A11111 del egation to the Demoeratis National Convention— an alterative wbieb violated the time honored qv) ages of the party under man unjustifiable cirrem stances—is rapidly producing its legitimate effect. Bat few of the Demottratie press of the State sestain it, while many of those friencly to Mr. Buchanan, denounce the act, and itaperpettatom in strong terms. As a specimen of these we give the following fro& the Brookville feffersonian : The proceedings of the late Democratic State Convention have not been receive* by the press with as much satiafactios as might have been ex pected and will doubtless cause 'rouble in the wig wam before all is over. The attempt to pack the representatives to thellaltimore Convention and the cowardly conduct of those in the majority in reins ing their *t rights to the , minority ha re undoubt. edly made friends for Gen pass, not only in Penn. sylvenia, but thrangtrate the Union. The colitderk game may do in ordinary eases but it won't stand where them is a 101 l board mislay with ; and hon est men will despise Ruh a course even were the player his wannest friend. We advocate the claims of James Buchanan cot only on acsiount of his tal ents and worth, bet more especially for the honor of our State—yet we cease to be a friend whenever he shall resort to such contemptible measures as were advocated by a portion of his wire-workers in the last Convention.

The New Orleans Delta mentions the death of a boy three arid a half years old under the following cocnelistanees: This lad, when born, was a twin child, and attechedito the side tit his brother, st hick also, at birth, be it remembered, was alive The contact between the children extended from the mamma to the spine of the ilium, and theta was • free interchange of nerves and blood-vessels pass ing over from one body to the other There was but one umbilici:, dirnplebetween theories. at ti that was situated in the center of the ti al connecting srptunt.
