GENERAL PIERCE ►ND VIE CstrioLim—There is a clause in the New Hampshire constitution, impo sing certain civil disabilities upon Roman Catholics. Waal they ate we never heard. The Whigs hare started a calumnious report that General Pierce is directly, or indirecdy, responsible for that feature of the constitution. The Washington Republic has the magnanimity fe pronounce the story untrue and unjust. The P elphia Argus gives the facts, and it purports to have heard them from a prataillant gentleman of New It impshire. " The constinvion of &ew Hampshire, containing the odious clause, was adopted many years ago : this is not the only chime than is believed to be un popitlar anti aliactumable, and with a view of re. f inning thecoustitution, a Convention was held a few years sine.; alter which, our candidate, Frank ' litt Pierce, presided, and that Convention adopted a new constitution, °Mining the odious feature re Laing to the exclusion of Catholics from (dike, by the decisive vote, if we rigidly recollect it, of 200 to 7. This constitution was submitted to a vote Id the pl.toi:de, and rejected—twcrditirtis of the popular vote bettiglequireil for its adoption, while offering it as a whole made the opponents at any one Sec= bon active anti anxious to defeat it. This we have bee . ' told, and believe, is the trite state of tads ; and, indeed, every act of General t'ierce's life is in contlict with such an attack on the ri;lits of con science; but elevated, as he xertainly will bur, to the P.esidency, he may acquire that additional flaineu which will occasion this clause to Lo Proa3ply oD:iterated from Nciv \ Hampshire's Con. at itution.

'two whole days were occupied in 'disposing of contested seats, which were all decided against the Smrr men, appointing committees, &c , until the evening of the th rd day ) when the following plat form, previously prepared. in a caucus of Webster's friends, was adopted by a vote of 227 yeas, to 66 nays, the Pennsylvania delegation voting yeas 21 nays 6: The Whigs of the United States, in Convention assembled, adhering, to the great conservative prin ciples by which they are controlled and governed, and mia? as ever relying upon the intelligence of the Ameticall . people, with ai abiding,coofidence in their-capacity for self government and their de votion to the constitution and the Union, do pin. claim the to:lowing, as the political sentiments and determination fur the estsblishment and mainten ance of which their national organization as a party was effected : : 7he Government of the United States is of a limtled character and-it is confined to the exercise of power:, expressly granted by the Chstilution, and such as may be necessary and power for car rying the granted powers into full. execution and that all powers not granted or necessarily implied are expressly reserved to the States rispectively and to the people. 2 : The State Government should he held secure to their reserved rights and the General Govern. ment sustained on its constitutional powers, and that the Union should be revered and watched over as the palladium of our liberties. 3 That nlide struggling freedom everywhere en lists the warmest sympathy of the Whig party we still adhere to the docttines of the Fatlicr t f his Country, as announced in his farewell address of keeping nurse v,s free from all entangling aliances with foreign countries, and of never quitting our own to stand upon d'oreign ground, that out mission as a 'republic is not to propagate our opi.auns, or impose on other countries our form of Government by artifice or force; but to teach, by example and how by our success, moderation and justice, the b!essing.s of self-government and the advantages of tree institutions, 4 : Tb it as the people mate and cent' of the Gov -eminent they sht.old obey its conititution laws. wed treaties as they would retain their self-respect, and the respect which they claim and will enforce from foreign powerr 5: Revenue sufficient for the expenses of an eco nomical administration of the Government in time of peace, ought to be derived from a duty on imports ?nil not from direct taxation ; and in laying such duties, sound policy requires a just discrimination, whereby suitable encouragement may be afforded to Amer:can intjustry, elua.ly to all classes and to all parts Al the Country. 6 : cons;imtion vests in Congress the power to open and repair harbors and remove obstructions from navigable rivers, whenever such improvement are necessary for the common defense, and for the protection and facility of commerce with foreign nations, or among the States—said improvements being, in every instance, national and general in their character. 7 : The Federal and State Governments are parts of or.e system, alike necessary for the common prosperity, peace and security, and ought to be re garded alike with a cordial habitual and inarnoce, attachment. Respect with the authority of each and acquiescence in the just constitutional measure of each; are de ties required by the plainest consid erations of n.ttional state and individual welfare. 8 : That the series of acts of the Thirty•first Con.. gres• - -tl - .e Act known as the Fugitive Slave law, in cluded—are received and acquiesced in by the whig 'piny of the United States, as a settlement with principle and substance, of the dangerous and ex• citing question whichthey embrace; and so far as they-are concerned, we will maintain them and in sist upon their s.riet enforcement until time and experience shall demonstrate the necessity of furth• er legislation, to guard against the evasion of the law on the one hand, and the abuse oftheir powers on the other, not impairing their present efficiency, and we depreciate all further agitation of the ques eion thus settled a+ dangerous to our peace ; and will discountenance all efforts to continue or renew such agitation whenever, wherever, or however the attempt may be made; and we will maintain this system as igsenttal to the natiottality of the Whig party of the Union.

Ofeourse they cannot be expected to aid in the completion of a work which wouldin ii" fere with their own prat:s. Here is another sprag. Deductinr , these, which is !eft? The Wyoming and upper Susqselianna val!eys, and Elmira and its nei4libothoorl This is all. Look about you in whatever direction you will, and if you can see, no any other quarter, one particle of motive. or interest in this work, you will oblige us by lettiog us know. Look about yon'aurl answer it this is-not true. This brings us down to the c:ern reality, to the Inn it with in which this movement is to be made, and beyond which von cannot go the lenoth of a b:nrk leap. The Legislature of New York, for the purpose 01 ,o 1 facti'irini7, as far as in their power, the construct ion of this work, have granted corperated powers embracing every desirable provision. Thera hav ing been no survey or estimate of the cost of the work at the time of the grantin4 of the charter, the capital stock of the Company was fixed at five hun dred thousand dollars, in shares of one hundred dul• lays each. This was done, not with tne expecta tion c.f the work costrig so much money, but with_ the object of covering alt possible connm2.encieband avoid the necessity of any future Legislation Since the granting of the charter, the wet k,has Leen sur veyed arid measur d , and the asceitamed cost is (mind to be three tiths of the sum covered by it, which would reduce the tine:her of shares down to three thousand, of one hundred dollen= each. Last month a meeting 01 the Cumin tf.sioners was held at Elmira, with the expectation of opening the h('uks and recessing subscriptions, with a view to the ear ly commencement et the work. 13131 the backward state of the subscriptions from this quarter prevent ed any thing being done, and at the Kig4e lion of some of our own citizens, the meeting was atipurn eit to the 17:h of August, mst, when the books wilt 'te opened at Elmira. So eiscouraged were a majorls. ty of the Commissioners, at the want of interest on toe p..rt of our citizens in this work in which there ate so vitally interested, Mat they were disposed to abandon the enterprise entirely, and adjourn a ith out day. And unless our citizens come up to the mark, in a better spire, and manifest more interest and and solicitude, the meeting of the 17:h of Au gust will be the end of the jig, and the North Branch Canal will be a blank worthless waist to them. Now, it is early ascertained 'hat the subscription by the people of this valley, of one thousand shares of this stock, will secure the completion et the work. That is to say, the people of the upper North Bauch valley and Elmira, will contribute Iwo.thibls at he building of the walk, tf IVymning will pay one-thisd. It is but justice to say, that while the great mass of our people have been so culpably intldierent in :his business, there have been individual instances of majtainmity and spirit worthy of the highest praise. We speak nine particularly of Messrs. G. M. M ier-thud; and U. B Hillard, who stood ready, and we learn now stand ready, to take filly thousand dollars oh the stock in this work; certainty a most liberal movement, and covering their hall share in the en terprise. Here is five hundred of the thousand shares provided for by theca two gentlemen; and a negative answer to the enquiry, it two are willing to do so much, will the thousar.ds interested not do th e r est, s hcarld cover the laces of those thousads, eveiv man of them, % ith the blush of shame. Madame, if yeu nave a fimiband who refuses to subscribe one share to this work, %Orel' is to make yourself and children comlortable and ind-iptiti 'eat, you stand justified before this earth, in refusing him love obedience, honor, and all comforts of domes be Isle. Maiden, if so'r have a beau who will not add his mite to this enterprise, w hich:is to hasten, in the mean., the hour of bliss, banish him as lore. sw 0111 3 and dishonored, and un worthy of your tender regards and interests. . TOWANDA, June 8, 1852. G. M. Hollenbacl, 4 O. B fhllnrd, Esqrg. GENTLEMEN :—From a pretty earful survey of the route for a Canal f,em our Stale line to ant enabled to give you the following estintaie of the probable emit. If a route, commencing at the Chemung Canal should be adopted, pursuing the Noith side of the river, down to the loiter erus , in t i, the distance would be 18 miles, and the average coat per rude $2OOOO. To start with a darn at Elmira and pursue the South side of the river, a distance of t4velve and thre quarter the est-mate cost is about $21,000 per mite. '1 tie South side line terminates at the upper crossin g . A line di ff erent from either of those above named , ' may beitraced, which would proba bly cheapen the cost per mile. 'lids wou'd be to run down on the North side to head of Shephards narrows, aid then cross to South side to . terminate at lower crossing of State line. think this would bring the distance below eighteen miles arid save something in expense. The plan which some suggest of stopping with the Junction Canal at the upper crossing, in my judgment, is decidedly erroneous policy. tis true that less money would be required to build it to this point, thence it we continue down to the lower coss. in_; but the miles from upper to lower would be ob tained at less cost, than the average, for those above. By adopting wooden leeks ins'ead of composite (which latter my estimate contemplates ) the cost may be reduced, about $25,000 in the aggregate, or for either distance adopted by the cotaipany, about 618,500 per mile. It would not be sale for any parties to calculate upon building the Junction Canal at less than -313,- 500 per mile, with wooden locks—and $20.000 per mile with composite leek" The right of - vay to be added to the foregoing estimates. My judgment-is that it must be a gout paying wink. 11 it be not, then we have all been misrepresenting the value of the North &inch Canal: ft tho North Branch wilt pay, at a cost of 41-tO,OOO per mile, (and I An not doubt 0,) themthe Junction Canal must pay -liberal dividens on $20,000 per. mile. I hope for the honor of ‘Vyriming 'Valley, for whose great nalzaritalge the'North Branch Canal has been built, and whose wealth is lobe so greallyen. hanced by the connexion at 'Elmira, that the core_ putatively small awn may bo raised. at . the next meeting...As soon as lam atge intend t o take my outticription book and do wkit lean; - • Very truly. 11`.. FOSTER, Jan: • •_ Our Candidate tbr the PreeldeurY Franklin Piereiiiraiinrily doily-seven yeers; of agri:vriteii he deliberatelyresig,ned one of the 1)1;i:h -est offices in the niftof fhb American people, arid retired homthe'Senateof the United States to le. slime the practice of his:profession : in an ebscere quitter el , Nevi Hampshite. Whatever may have been-his achievements in the field whatever may be the triumphs which ate destined to reward his labors as an administrative officer, we doubt it he has done, or ever wilt do any thing to distinguish him more honorably than this from the tribe of cur rent politicians of his day and generation. , What Jefferson said of the o ffi ce-holders of his time may with greater truth be said of their successors, & few - die and none .resign" Yet, Pierce with all the best of his life before him, with rare talents, be1. ,, - ed by all his associates in and out of Congress, r,.- titled by every" consideration to aspire to any emin ence in die gift of his country; with such a life of promise before him, this gifted young man deliber ately resigned his senatorial dignity, and agaiost the pressing, entreaties of friends and the wishes of, all his constituents, voluntarily went into almost a. 4 ab solute retirement as it tints possible fur a man of such abilities and fame to find ih the United Stales. The indifference. of public honors and the gauds of office is not common in this or any country, and bespeaks the preSente of abhors of Virtues ui our candidate for the Presidency which. at this time, as much as at any period of our history since the elec tion of General Washington, is needed to restore the country to a sound system of government, and ; to revive those public principles of statesmanship ; upon which only representative institutions cart re pose with safety. From what we hear and have read of General Pierce's political career, we feel justified in erteern ing lim a republican of the straitest sect. His views of the proper functions of government, so far as we know the 7.1, correspond with those which w e have always entlevoreri to advocate to the best of our abilities. His votes indicate an inflexible de termination; while in the councils of the nation, to keep the legislative power of the country from med dling with the industry of the people. He never countenanced any scheme for subjecting private en terprise to unfair competitions trom any quarter, and least of all nom the national treasury. Ile planted himself like a rock against the log-rolling system, now so dangerously rife, or giving away to railroad and steamboat companies, for the benefit of private speculators, the lands ot the money of the people; lie never advocated taxation of all to protect the in terests of a few, either under the specious pretext developing American manufactures, or .of regulat ing the exchanges. Ills policy in Congress and out of it was, and we have no doubt always will be, in whatever station he may be placed, to con fine the share of government to those duties which it can pet form, be-t, leaving the rest to the people. He will vindicate the rights at the states and 01 their citizens from the encroachments which has been made, of late, up'on both by Ilia executive and 1e ,, - islative deparimen's of the government, and restore to the country once more a demccratic republican party in fact as well as in name All this we expect from Genera; Pierce, it he is made the next President of the United Sta Ills antecedent justify this expectation. and all his friends are willing to be ans:verahle for his li• delity to his zonvictions. to his independence, and his firmness. That is all that ice a-k of any candt late for the Presider ey, and a great deal more than e had dared to hope for at this election.—Ercairig Post. Si Sra'i.ta AcriDEsT —On Friday, 7ih of May, a } lil le Phild, four years old, son of Jeremiah Myers, near G street, South Bia.ion, while returning front I chool, was suddenly seized with the most intense Il k lficully breathing and violent c a u 2 h.

On Monday 17th, len days alter the commencement of the diseat.e, the child had an attack of convulsion. • Dr, Fr tg was then called in, and upon learning the of attack and the previous symptoms, concurred with Dr. ileaton that some foreign body had entered the trachea— -1 The child suffered froth inflammation of the longs from that date until his death, on the eighth of Jone. Three days before his death, a large quantity of of. lensive, gangrenous matter was discharged from the longs, with the most imminent danger of suffo cation. An examination of the body was made a few hours alter death. The la. lung was in a ‘tate of mortiticatMn, and contained a gill or more n 1 matter.

To this message. several Chinamen —Sam Wa & Co., Tom Wo & Co, and others—have made a long reply, in which shay explain that the word " cooly" does not signi fy a-distinct class, but a day laborer. They also explain the Chums(' mode or form of attesting an oath—on ordinary occasions by burning a piece of yellow papei, and, on We more important, ones by decapitatir4,7 a fowl. They next vindicate them selves from the charge° be.ng accut-tomed to false hood, and without any sense of its moral turpitude. " We do not think much about your politics," say they, and quote instances of Chinamen becorning naturilized citizens, one being now resident in San Francisco, and married to an American lady. " lie wears the American dress and is considered a mini of respectability." Others, they believe, will foltow the example, if the laws remain open to them.

A Tense :Temp VOTE.—The Canajoharie says, 6 , the nomination was made with great unani mity, and instead of xt iwo.third vote it was almost a thrie-third 'vote." Tho' ti•ta two-third rule was adopted in the Convention, it was vet particularly testetl. No candidate received a majority of the vole 4 of the Convention except its nominee. Thongtt it is not to be concealed that the two-third rule was the efficient bulwark which backed and .sustained the minority, yet the v ballot did riot in any phase disclose a positive violation - of the majority ple. PIERCC was the first, last and only choice of the majority. _„.

Duringthe Wit fewweelts, We have been in various portions of Western Perin- Sylvania and Ohio, and, so far as wb could judge, the crops looked very prdinitting. The Armstrong (Pa.) Democrat of the 2ndinst„ says : " The prospect for a plentiful crop of fruit and grain In this century was never better than it is at the present time. For sore years past the plumb bees have neatly all failed in this borough, but now they give promise of a lalarge yield of fruit. The tamers anticipate a fine grain crop, wilt the exception of eats, the wet weather preventing a lull crop being put in." ' The Wooster (Ohio) Democrat says that " the prOspet for an immense clop of wheat hi Wayne . county is unprecedented. The wheat is luxuriant beyond anything we ever saw in that country, and, out of the way of all danger of blight, save from rust.

SHOCKING SUICIDE AT Du:it:rim —it friend at Dun kirk has tunitshed us the following particulars ul deplorable occurrence .n that village : • This morning our village was shockeifat the in telligence of the sudden death of Mr Isaac Jatith, foreman in the extensive mainline-shop ui lire N 1/' • L.' hate Railroad Company, aged 49 . ) cat:, He was a nam e of New Hatiiiiimire, and uti•ti Decem ber lasi, when he Caine to this Villa4r,ta resident ul East Bustoit, AlasS where tie had accumulated a trandsoine property, nil winch his 14/1,0), a wile and nine etuldren, resided tit Hittir n:niuval to This place, wliete they att:ved They were afrecnona.e:y ',.•• !1‘1.1,111 I and lather, whom they however teied wa, much changed la his tir i t , tl.o."l:, et ',lenity the sulject of :odd in;tl.4iittlll.

Being of a nervous temperament, and exceedingly jealous of a welt (tattled reputa• non for integrity and purity of life, any attempt to soothe or mitigate seemed only in enhance the an guish of a wounded spirit. Beason tottered, and in an evil moment he resolved to commit the lash deed. Hnr ing risen at an early hour, and imprinting a kiss upon each one of his children while yet in th••ir beds, he retired to the lower part of the house, whence the report of a pistol was aeon heard ; his wife and children quickly starting Iro.n their beds met him on the stairs, when he faced about, and descending to the room, he turned, and throwing a mina glance upon each of the distressed 'group, he as quickly applied a razor to the left side cf his neck, cutting a horrid gash, at the same instant ex claiming, t• Remember I die innocent.' This act and this declaration were repeated three times in rapid succession. Oa an examination of the wound after death by the surgeon in attendance, it was ascertained there was a slightly lacerated wound of the scalp, occa• slotted, 3i was believed, by the discharge of the pistol o filch failing to do the work intended, resort was had to the razor. The miserable creature who was the moving cause of the consequenses has confused that the charge was wholly untrue, and without thn leaft cause of provocation on the part of Mr. Smith. The Coroner being called an inquest was held on the body, the verdict rendered that the deceased came to his death by his own hand, while in a state of mental aberration. A Ms wmorst WATER littxr.—There is now ex hibiting in New York a most remarkable plant.— It is a tropical water Lilly, indigenous to South A se ei-lea called the Victoria regia, and is the property of Caleo Cope. of Philadelphia. Two enormous :eaves of this plant—the largest about six feet three inches in diameter and nineteen in circumference, float in a large tank, placed in the apartment. One of them is in an inverted position, to display the frame work and fibres, which are very prominent; also a large snaky-looking stem or fciot stalk, seven or eight feet long and an inch or two in diameter. The leaf in its natural position, has an upturned border, which excludes water. wit, forms of the whole a kind of a raft, sufficiently buoyant to sup port a weight of sixty pounds. The plant blos somed for the first time in August 1851, and has since averaged about two blossoms, weekly. One of them was exhibited yesterday, fully opened. It is about a foot in diameter, with white petals and flesh colored pistils. It is highly fragrant. This plant was found in 1837, on one of the rivers in British Guiana, by Sir Robett Schomburg. and tak en to England; Mr. Cope brought it thence to this country. CHOLERA ON THE PLAH4I . —The WeSlOll [Mo.] Reporter of the sth says . : t We have had a constrsation with Mr H. T Putnam, who has just returned from Muddy Creek, some 80 miles from this place, and from him n e learn that the train of Hughes, Holliday & Co, Which is en route for Salt Lake. had :mitered severe ly from cholera. Wttbn otir informlnt left, there had been seven deaths and some ten or twelve sick. He represents the attacks as beim; very se vere, and terminate very suddenly. We also learn from the same source that the Irani had lost thirteen oxen. They died suiltlenly—all. within an hour, and whilst they had their yokes on. We fear that this train has suffered still more severely. From all that we can learn, there is a great deal of suffer ing and sickness a'rzion'g the emigrant trains gener ally.
