Browne's License Bill. l'axed (lie Somite on the 14th ult., ami iu tlie House on the 28d was referred to a select oominittce of seven, consisting of Messrs. Wright. of Luzerne, Hill, lluuspkef, Mont gomery. McCarthy, (ictz and Magce. The lull is very stringent in its provisions, | and we think if it becomes a law it will be more effectual in correcting the evils of liquor ; selling than the law passed at the last session ( of the Legislature. The dtii section of the bill provides that no i licenses shall he granted except to citizens of tin Cnitcd States, of temperate habits and j good moral character. Before any license for j tlie sale of liquor under this section shall be granted,, the person applying for the same, shall give a bond te the State, with two sufii- j cient sureties, in the stun of one thousand dol lar.-, conditioned for the faithful observance ol the law. The 12th and 13th sections classifies and rates the prices of license, us follows: See. I_V The venders of wines, inalt or dis tilled liquors, either with or without other goods, wares or commodities, shall be elassi'l tied and rated as follows, viz : Those who are estimated and taken to make and effect annual sales to the amount of twen ty thousand dollars and upwards, shall con stitute the first class and pay five hundred dollars. Those to an amount of ten thousand dol lars. and less than twenty thousand the second class, and shall pay three hundred and fifty dollars. Those to the amount of eight thousand dol- 1 lars, and less than ten thousand, the third class, and shall pay two hundred aud fifty dollars. Those to the amount of six thousand dol- and less thau eight thousand, the fourth class, and shall pay two hundred dollars. Those to the amount of four, and less than six thousand dollars, shall form the fifth class, and pay one hundred and fifty dollars. Those to the amount of two, and less than four thousand dollars, * shall form the sixth das*, and shall pay one hundred dollars. Those less than two thousand dollars shall farm the seventh class, and pay fifty dollars ; and no license, as aforesaid, shall be granted ' for any less sum. Sec. 13. That all hotels, inns and taverns shall be classified and rated according to the estimated yearly rental of the house and pro perty intended to be occupied for said purpo ses. as follows, to wit : All eases where the valuation of the yearly rental of the said house and property shall be ten thousand dollars, shall constitute the first class, aud shall pay one thousand dollars. Where the valuation of the yearly rental shall be eight thousand dollars, aud not more than ten thousand dollars, the second class, and shall pay eight hundred dollars.

It is made iueuuibciit on every pers:>u li otviscd, according to the provisions of the act. to frame his licvusc under a glass, and place the same so that it may at all times be con spicuons in his chief place of making sales ; and no license shall authorize sales by any per son who shall neglect this requirement. Any j>ersou convicted of selling liquor ean tra? v to the provisions of this law, shall pay a fine of not less thau*ten nor more thau one lumdrcd dollars, and be itnprisoued until the sentence of the Court be complied with, not exceeding sixty days; and upon a second or auv subsequent conviction, the party so offen ding shall, iu addition to the payiucut of a fine, as aforesaid, undergo an imprisonment in the county jail, of uot less than one month, nor more tliau three mouths ; and if licensed, shall forfeit said license, and be incapacitated from receiving any license, for the period of five years.

The bill rejteals the act of ISS-V commonly denominated the "'Jug Law" but does not im pair the provisions of the Sunday Law. nor of the act of the Bth of May. 1*54, entitled "an act to protect certain domestic and pri vate rights, and prevent abuses in the sale aud use of intoxicating drinks."

We certainly have no disposition to do or say anything that will in the slightest degree prevent a perfect union and concert of action on the jkirt of tlmse opposed to the aggressions of slavery, by whatsoever name they may be known. On the contrary, we have the strong est desire, as we have the utmost faith, that those in favor of the principles of Freedom, can and will, rally around one common stand ard, and be triumphant in the coming contest. To effect this, all our energies shall be devoted, not for the purpose of elevating men to office, but for the advancement of the great principles we deem so essential to the welfare and pros perity of the country. When we say we do not approve of this call, we still have ho|>es that ultimate good uiayre -ult from it. We deem it unfortunate that it was issued so hastily, and npon the eve of the assembling of two National Conventions. The I result of the deliberations of those Con vent iocs must satisfy the most obtuse mind that the on ly issue inv.dved iu the present struggle, is that , of Freedom or Slavery—the result of struggle, to su.-tain or rebuke the present National Ad ministration for its subserviency to the slave 1 oligarchy. The American party, by its pr<v [ ceedings at Philadelphia lias succumbed to the influence of slavery. While the Republican, ■ at Pittsburg, has Hung to the breeze the ban j ner of Freedom, and inscribed upon its fold principles to which every patriot can sub scribe. Those who arc earnest in their opposition tO the aggressions and extension of slavery, can I have no hesitation iu rallying under the Kepub i lieau banner. The organization propose* to j accomplish pmqwxses whn-li should have the co i operatiou of every lover of our free institutions. It is now the only party which meets the exi gencies of the times, and present a tangible is ' sue to the country. It proposes to cheek the usurpations of slavery, and preserve the terri -1 tones of the country for white men. If this proposed Convention is made up of those opposed to tiie extension of slavery—of those who wish to see tlic General fioveminent released from the influence and domination of that power—of those who arc to meet fairly and boldly the liviug questions to l>e settled by the people—it may accomplish good. It may accomplish this result, either by adjourning to the Republican State Oonven : tion on the 1 •tl* of June next, or by its actiou taking such as will render it uunucessary for the latter eon too tion to uo.uiuate a State t iekct. If we understand the feeling* of the Repnb l cans of the North it is a williugncss to uuiie with all thoe who favor the principles of Free dom. and are desirous of preserving our Terri torie- as an inheritance for the Free Labor of the country—coinc from what party they may. As this question is now the all-absorbing one. as this issue is forced upon the country for set | tk-incut by the slave power, there should be uo difficulty in the way of union oa the part of those who are willing to meet it. The sincere friends of freedom, can have no de-ore to drusr into the contest collateral qaesfions which are foreign to the true issues, aud only serve to , embarrass aud cripple us. The battle of Free dom or Slavery is to be fonght, and let as tight it, without encumbering" ourselves with other 1 question.' about which there may be great dif | fereucc of opinion, and to moot which can serve no good purp.se. kau only cause us eiabarraab ; meat and disaster. We shall await the action of this Conven tion, then, with much anxiety, though with ma ny misgivings. We have seen so much of the disposition manifested at llarrisburg, to raise up other matters to overshadow thefcreitques tion of th© day—so much hesitation and eva sion in coining square up to the true issue— that we fear a shuffling, trifling, half-way poli cy will.be adopted, not satisfying anybody but a few weak-kneed, not overwise, politicians, and certain to be overwhelmed by defeat. The I times demand bold, yet considerate action. It ; is no time for paltry subterfuge—no time for ignoring the momentous questions agitating the country. Any attempt to secure office at the i expense of principle, will iuglotiously fail. The Freemen of the Northern counties,have nobly given np all their old party atstachmefit and united under the Republican banner. — 1 Tlicrc arc but two parties here : —The pro slavery negro Democracy, which seeks to ex tend Shivery : and the Republican, which de mands that free territory shall be preserved for white men and their descendants. The Re publican platform as laid dowu at Pittsburg, is certainly moderate enough for any man who is opposed to the extension and perpetuation of shivery, and to the National Administration. Those who sincerely desire to stay the progress of slavery propugainlisui. can possibly have no hesitation in placing themselves upon that plat form. We are not disposed to abate one iota of that declaration of principles—to give up our name or organization—uor suffer foreign ; and intangible issues to be tacked on. And | in this, we believe, wc sjieak the sentiments of the Republicans of this County. Union, at the sacrifice of principle, though it might be temporarily successful, would be a disaster in the end. The friends of Freedom can meet de ; feat, if it must come, with compo-nre ami for i titude. in the confidence that the glorious cau-e they arc sustaining must finally triumph, as ; certain as there is an overruling Providence. ! who in llis own good time, shall overthrow the j oppressor. THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. The proceedings of the Republican National Convention are already before our readers. It was our good fortune to attend its deliberations. We believe that it will challenge comparison with any former political assemblage for the high character and elevated talents of its mem- J bers. So marked was this that it his com manded the respect of the most debased of the dough-face presses of the North, who are ac customed to misrepresent and stigmatize the friends of freedom on all occasions. Though merely an advisory convention, at an inclement season of the year, every free state and eight of the slave states were represented. There were were in attendance, we believe, about five hundred delegates. To draw these men to gether, there was nothing but devotiou to the cause, uo nominations were expected, and in all the conversation we heard, we did not as certain a personal preference. The expression in regard to the future candidates of the Re publican partv was a desire that the best uicii should be nominated. Who those men will l>e. we could f-rni no judgment from what we saw and heard Oiivsr, SEWARP. MT.FAV, BANKS. WII.MOT, BENTON. J' I.IAN" and many of the true men of the cause, had admirers and were often referred to with pride and confidence. It is generally understood, however, that the con test about to commence in Congress is likely to bring many men prominently before the 1 country, for credit or reproach. \\ e have no question from the feeling manifested at Pitts bnrg, tiiat persona! preferences will lie laid aide in making the nominations, and the good ; of the cause only consulted. The attendance of FRAN is P. BLAIR, as a ! delegate from Maryland, was one of the mo-t 1 pleasing features of the Convention. To those 1 who like ourselves, hud formerly acted with the Democratic party, it was gratifying to be ehecr • ed by tlm jwesence of the venerable friend and adviser of JACKSON* and Yix BIT.EN*. It was au earnest, if any testiniouiy was needed, that we hud HO; strayed from the Jcffersouian de -1 mocruey in which we had lieeu educated. To thne who had formerly been opposed, it was j evidence that he was willing to forget the fierce j contests of the {Mat, when, as lie believes, the institutions of the country are assailed by the nullifying plans first promulgated by CAI.HOW. When he was named for chairman of the cor.- ventiou, so appropriate was the selection, that , the assembled multitude testified their appro bation In* round after round of applause, llis i presence and co-operation are tiie best evidence which can 1m? adduced to meet the falsehoods ••f those wh > seek to misrepresent the princi ples and purposes of the Republican party. — Himself a siave-owuer. and living in a slave i state, lie cannot be called an ** abolitionist."— His antecedents will acqait him of any morbid sympathy ujiu the question of slavery.

COUNTY POOR HOUSE. [The following extract from a letter written by one of \ oar lto|>iv.entativc- ti> a citizen <>f the Western part of the County, lias been suit to us fr publicati u :] " Petitions, numerously signed, are coming in from our county, in favor of a Poor House; mostly, so far, from the river townships. We shall not hurry the matter, but will give ample ! time for au expression from the people on this subject by jictition and remonstrance. What would you think of inserting a section leaving ' the matter to a vote of the people ? A large | number of counties have poor houses, including Berks. Bucks, Franklin. Dauphin, Schuylkill, York, Allegheny, Lancaster, Westmoreland, Washington, Carbon. Perry, Lebanon and Chester, and the members generally from those counties say that the system of poor houses ' works well, and no county that now has one would do without it. Erie county has one. erected some thirty years since, and 1 am in formed by Mr. Ball that the land belonging to it would now sell for more than the entire ori ginal outlay, and that they could not by any means do without a poor house. "Wc shall treat the subject carefully, and should like to hear from yoa again. L." fefr Wc looked in upon Congress, the other ilav, to sec how the asaembled wisdom of the Nation was "getting on." In the House we -aw and heard two days wasted in discussing the question as to the proper committee to which to refer the President's Message asking an appropriation to introduce new inventions of fire arms into the army, k<\ Finally the question was disposed of, and the House went into Committee of the Whole to consider the President's annual message, when Mr. GROW got the floor to speak on Kansas, and the Committee rose, lfis speech will be delivered when the House in Committee proceeds to the consideration of the same subject. Mr. GROW read a bill granting homesteads to actual settlers ; ami from the Committee on Territories reported a bill repealing the ob noxious laws pa-.-ed by the Kansas legislature. The Speaker. Mr. BANKS, discharges the arduous and responsible duties of his post, in -ucli a manner as to extort the admiration of tho.-e who most bitterly opposed his election, aud prophesied that in the occurrence of such an awful event the Union would certainly '* slide."

The defen dants plead not guilty. The case was opened by the District Attorney, and the examination of witnesses on the part of the Commonwealth, commenced. The main facts as elicited are as follows : , The defendants came from Germany in 1*54, ami arrived at Klkiand township, Sullivan Co , in Auirnst of the same vear. Thev purchased •. • 1 a piece of land and lived in the same house to gether, until May t>, when Yeitengruber was missing. Kaiinn and Mrs. V. said he had | gone to Canton to work at Ids trade, lie was j a shoemaker, and was commonly designated •• Shoemaker." lie did not return, 'and liually suspicion became directed to the defendants, as being guilty of some foul play. They were arrested in October, but the evidence being In sufficient the Justice discharged them. i On the 1-ttii of November, James M'Carty discovered what lie thought to be a grave, and J called to a man by the name of Smith, who i came to him. It being then nearly night, they agreed to make further examination on the following morning. Tibs grave was about 20 rods from Yeitengrnbcr's house, and right be hind the root of a large hemic, k that had been blown down. Tie defendants heard M'Carty call Smith. On the following day. M'Carty and others went to make the examination.— They dug, found a grave about twenty inches deep, found a toe-nail, the thick skin off the heels, a number of hairs, and a very offensive stench issuing from the place. The defendants were immediately arrested and committed to jail. They denied all knowledge of Yeitengru bcr's whereabouts. The evidence showed that ever since their arrival at the Lake, they quar relled occasionally and violently so that the neighbors could hear them at a distance—that Kainm had threatened to shoot Yeiteugrubcr —that the defendants had lived in adultery before V. was missing, and contiuualiy since— that Kainm had in his possession all his cloth ing. pipo<. -muff-!,ox wat' h.
