It •will be seen by reference to the
County Statement that there is a prospect
that the Court House debt will soon he liq
uidated. The last payment,
.the only oue
now remaining unpaid, falls due September
19th. 1859 ; and we are -infornod by the
Commissioners that it will be promptly met
which we mny confidently bone fora
reduction of our County taxes.
It will also be observed that not a dollar
of ttoges.remains due or -unpaid from Collect-
ors 3 for, which state of_ things the ' Commis
sioners and Treasurer are entitled to s miler*
credit. 'We believe that such -a state of
_ ihings exists in but few, - if any, other coun.
ties in the State. , -
gar We learn that there are 4erral la
dies in 'our town who, through storm and
cold, like ministering angels silently and
noiselessly seek out the suffering poor and
ielieve their wants. They receive their re
wardln the.tearful thanks and prayers of the
poor recipients, and thq sweet consciousness
Of doing good in the sight of Ileavect. Many
of the sterner sex should imitate these ladies
and share tireir labors,'toils, and rewards.--
The field is ample and large enough-for many
more.
ww A . caucus of the Democratic Mem
bers of the House of Bepresentatives, held
February 9th, decided that the Tariff t,f
187 is insufficient. .TheiProtectionists. tho'
only in the ascendency by eight votes, were
in ecstasies. The _Free-Traders declafed
that they did not consider the vote of the
caucus binding. Mr._ Buchanan threatens the
Democrats that if they do not modify the

made a speech in the Senate, in favor. Of a

fur these notions ; and l',.nnbit
nied that individually. and in a private capari
ittour people arc generally keen enough at
driving a bargain. Rut When it comes to ,
managing public affairs, we seem to have lost i
that - sagacity which once guided our public
as well as prl - vate conduct. Our- Govern
ment, which is spending annually some mill.
ions more than its.income, and many mill
ions More than it cost to administer ars
ditiral)f the nation a feW' years ago, iinder
takesto account for the increased expendi
tures!by the great increase of our territorial
possisions i ; tiut,lnstead of being content to
reknit% from lather acquisitions of territory,
which must o •-course brink additional expen
diture, the administration and its friends ate
eager to purchase Cuba, With an eye to an
additional slice of- Mexieo;and another fills
busterishly squinting towards-Central.Amer
lea.' Each of these schemes, if carried out.,
like former ones, must involve the outlay of
millions - of dollars more, which (since the
Treasury is empty) must he raised by loans,
Which loans must eventually bepaid, with in
, terest, by the people. Is it like a wise and
prudent people to borrow money to - buy that
which when obtained will only serve to make
our expenses greater ? If it_ is our " maul,
fest destiny" to absorb all that surrounds its.
let us not undertake to force matters ,liefore
their time;but by carefully husbanding our .
resources pfepare oursclvesto bear the heavy
burdens that " manifest destiny" has in store
Mr us. More than this. To admit foreign
pt;ople to a participation in the blessings of
our "free institutions," is of course a great
benefit to thein, and it is ,natural - that they
skorild be anxious to come in. Besides it is
their.'" manifest destiny"—they must mine
in. What then is our s pinper course, as a
iractical pc-ink, holding to the maxim that
"if any provide not. for his own house, he is
worse - than - -an infidel 1" Why, we should
make them pay for the privilege of coming
in. That would be 'only fair. To take them
under our eha u rge and undertake to govern
them and defend theta from all enemies,
would be not only a great advantage to them,
but a great IoSS to us. Then we should haver
our quictirro 'quo. Let theta pay fur the
privilege what it is worth. - - We will libt un
dertake here to fix 'the price, but it should
be considerable. To reduce the SPaniards,
Whirls, Mestizoes, Mulattoes, and Zainboes
of - Mexico, who are always taking each other
by the throat or stabbing each other behind
the back s to anything like order, must be
worth some millions; and then to raise them
to the dignity of civilized-life, and 'finally of
" enlightened" or slave-holding life,' and teach
them-to talk the Yankee language, must cost
some millions more. Let Mr. Secretary Cobb
- and other-eminent financiers be set to figure
up the expense-of all this, and make our
speckled neighbors pay every cent of the es
timated damage, before we permit their
destiny:' to 6c, fa !tined. The
mongrel tribes of Central. America should'
he treated in
-the Rape manner.. As for Cu
barsbe..should pay still higher, not only be
cause in her a million of " niggers' we
should have another ebony Lone of contention
thrown in to endanger our glorious Union,
hut also because of the probable expensive
war which would follow -her _annexation.—
Two hundred millions- we think cheap
enough for Cuba; 'and we propose to wait
till " manifest destiny" sends her knocking
at the door of the Union for admission at
-that price. If she is in a hurry, let her- fork
over that amount, and it will help to relieve
Mr. Brichanan's admieistration tinnr their
present-financial embarrassments, so that, in-
stead of dividing all their time'and attention
between temporary -expedients to "raise the
wind' and nnthrifty scherries of slavery ag
grandizement, they may have a little time to
attend to the legitimate purposes of govern
ment.
-tar It seems that the'teneral ideU of the
massiveness of Daniell Webster's physicsl
proportions is erroneous,—the sense . of
breadth lnd massive grandeur N wilicli his ap
pearance inspired having been caused by his
superb head and broad shoulders. A jkostun
correspondent of the Now York Cintury
'says, on this point :
He was', five feet and ten inches high. Ilow
much-did he weigh'? An aged gentlemgn
who was an intimate friend of Mr. Webster,
1 once assured ine that, in order to test the ac
' curacy of his mill opinion -against that of
t r inany others, he :lAA him what his average
weight was in the prime of manhood-, and
1 Mr. Webster answered "one hundred and
! forty pounds." This is so contrary to the
genetal impression, that 1 should not dare to
I record the statement it my recollection was
not very distinct, and my con¢rdence in my
venerable friend unlimited.

there is nono equal to it. •
There is stowa great paucity of gocid teach

new academies, and Seminaries every day
which is all the time making tet lucreaseed
demand for professional leachers; and .par

cating their children.
Any one that will take the oui.is to prop

can, without the least doulA, obtain a lucra.

Letter from Wyoming County.
Nwitta.scw,.)Nryorning Co., Pa., )
February Ilth,
Mtssits. Entrons :—Mv last have you an
',intimation that you might bear from be
again while on a journey to western New
York, but my time was 'am fully occupied
-then to. allow me to write letters, thouelt
there - was not II little to tell of; and since my
return, business cares have very much en
grossed my attention.
, A ddightfid time I had of it, going to a
hitheeslouse to see all, the members - of the
family living, assembJed together for' the
first time in twenty two years.• •At the Bend,
it was my pleasant fortune to meet a sister
on the cars " homeward bound." The jour.
neys, going and returning, of different mena•
biers of the family, to bring. tbout this mei:t
in7, were over 2,500 mile.J.
In my journey, there, was little of interest,
except as its monotony was relieved by ri,-
Q uent detentions first a the Bend, waiting
for the Expressowhieh was several hours be
hind time, and then ag ain over night at Corn
ing, because only the day previous, the train
we expected to take, as the Railroad Guide
told us, had been is ithdrawn. (Mem—if any
body has to stay all night at Corning, the
Dickinson House isn't a bad place to stop
at.) In good season we were off- the next
morning for Rochester. After going a row
mites, the train stopped at a rsiral place; the
name of which I could not learn ; it consist
ed of a good sized wood-shed on one side of
the track, and on the othei a shanty, a stack
of hay, and two ecws. Sortie one atinouticed
that there was trouble with the engine, and
Most of the male passengers got out, to see
what:it was. It proved to be a failure of a
valve, so that only one side of the engine
could work. The engineer and his-assistants
were endeavoring to remedy the difficulty,'So
that we could proceed, Alter two Or three
hours' detention in this_interesting place, we
got once more under headway, but at a very
slow pace. A little after 10 o'clock we came
to a place where the conductor 'announced
that the train would stop fifteen minutes for
the passengers to take :breakfast! -(fern—a
few roils of Graham bread are capital things
to have in one'ii pockets when on a journey
—they don't get smashed easily, and there
is diversion as 'well as other agreeable sensa
tions in eating them, when the breakfast hohr
is postponed till nearly noon.) .Then we had
to switch (and wait forthe 'Weston. Ex
press„to pass us, so that we reached Roches
ter five minutes too late for the train we ex
pected to take. Here we =find long • weary
hours of waiting, for the city lamps had been
lighted more than en hour when we took the
cars for Lockport, Soon we bad passed over
more than sixty Miles of straight, level track,
and we left the train: A livery team eon-
veyed us a - few miles toward the lake, and
-we were once more under the parental roof.
shall'not attempt to tell You of what trans
pired during the week of my stay at home,;
for though it has a very deep interest for me,:
it might have none fur you.
• Improvement in the farms and general pp- I
pernance of the 'country, &Ong the two
years that have elapsed since- my last visit
there, is;quite apparent. They complain as
elsewher‘of hard times, a prominent, de./
meat of which witlktliem seems to 'lie the
failure of thus wheat crop for some years
past, on account of the weevil. The farmers
hope in a few years, however, to raise wheat
as they used to do.
The time aliened for my visit was "soap

How the Sham Democracy Labor for the In.
rerests of the Peotile,
It is more instr a ctive thtniiMusing to lis
ten to the s.rtooth protestations of regard for
ithe interests of the people which the .Modern
Sham Democracy are perpetually making,
'and then to closely observe the metheis
which they practice in the
.ertand
that of their boasted regard. Any man with
an Irdependent turn of mind, has but to do
this, even but for a short space of time, to
become thoroughly convinced of the hollow
hearteditess and deceit of the party callike.x It
self Democratic. In preof this have
only to refer to the nation of the House of
Rept . er,•entatiVes a few days since 'upon the
bill relating to pre.entption rights. Not'ole
ly did this action disclose the real feelings of
the Democratie party towards the people of
the West particularly,•but It. also sco-ed to
show distinctly the position occupied ;:by the
Republican organization with . reference to the
same subject; and is therefore full of-qoport ,
arc(T. The bill before the House Was that
reported from the Committee On Public
Lands, amendieg the several acts granting
the tight of preieniption to actual settlers.—
l'endins; the discussion upon- this bill, Mt.
Grow of 4 Pennsylvanta, who has distinguished
himself as:a-friend-of the settler .upon more
than one occasion, moved an amendment
uh:cli brought to an issue the very pith of
the contest over the public lands ; as betiveen
the speculator and the actual settler. Mr.
(3row.s amendment was as follows: fir it :
further enacted, That from and after
the passage of this act no public land shall be
ez,posed to sale by Proclamation of the Prey
ident, unless the same shall have been sue.
veyed, and, the return of euch'survey filed in
the Land 011ie.° for ten years or more belore
31.:th sale.
It was not without steady perseverance
andllful management upon the part of its
friends-that this (lineament was. bro't to a
vote. nut it was at length agreed to, by a
Y.Ofe of 97 to 82. , Then came the struggle
upon the bill itself, which contained provi
sions for a beneficial reform in the pre-emp
tion laws, and with Mr. Grow's amendment
incorporated, gave the actual settler ten
years to pay for his claim before the same
could be exposed to sale by the Government.
Here was a Lest worthy of being made the
touCh-stone by which the 'real regard of polit
ical parties fur the interests of the people
should he tried, and as suen4t, was destined
to perform its part. •
It was moved to lay the bill upon the ta
ble, but this motion failed to carry. Then
arose the question on ordering th 4. bill , as
:upended, to be eng rossed and put upon its
final passage. Settlers of Minnesota and the
West! how, think you the Democratic party,
the professed champion.of the people's rights,
- voted upon Mk, t 11) oil, highly important
bill The official record tells the story '--
and let those hide their heads in shame, for
this base sacritice bribe Sham Democracy,
of the settlers' rightist the shrine of specula
tion, who are not lost to all sense of shaine.
There were Yea - e—Lecompton Democrats, 7;,
\uti-Lccompton Democrats, 3; Republicans-,
Nays—Anti-Lecompton Democrats, 4;
Americans, 7 t Lecompton Democrats, 84 ;
Republicans, NONE. For the settles, 91 ;
fur the speculators, 95. In this manner were
the settlers sacrificed - and the land•sluirks
who prey upon their vitals made to triumph,
by the direct and undisguised aid of the Mod
ern Sham Democracy. Let,the pioneers of

TII k: DI k FEILEN ( - E.—The Boston Liberator
say s- :
- There is- do constitutional 'President of
the Um ted,States, but a daring usurper of
the rights and liberties of the lumpier of the
North."
If you violate a law of the United States,
Mr. Garrison, we think you will tied an Ex
ecutive that %ill make you answer for it.—
Boston Post,
That -depends altogether upon circumstanc
es. If, for instance, "Mr. Garrison." should
head a gang of pro-slavery 'rascals to prevent
the legal voters of a:territory from exercising
their rights at the ballot-box, he would suffer.
no damag e at the hands of the. Executive.
Or it 'Ur. Garrison' should coolly murder
a Free State mail fur daring to express his
honest opinions, the chances would be ten to
one that, instead of being 'provided with. a
halter, the Executive' would giye him a 'snug
berth in the Land Office. .
Or if Mr. Garrison,' in his „zeal to Make a
slave State out of a free .Territory, should
make up fraudulent election-returns, so as to
secure a pro-slavery Legislature, instead;of
being'sciit to the Penitentiary, he would,
most likely, be made a -Purser, in the Navy.
`
Or, still Mote likely, if Mr. Garrison'
should fit out a fillibusterixpedition.against ri•
friendly.power, and be l eaughi'in the.act,

A GOOD TIME TO MAItCII TIIE CAPITAL
—The Southern Democraey threatened, in
case of the election of Fremont, to march on
the strong box et Washington—take it and
the archives, and set up fur themselves.—
Just imagine ruck a foray now—and how the
freebooters would look into each other's faces
when they came to open the spoils and di
vide them to the s fictors ! Instead of $20,-
000,000 which was in the Treasury then,'and
which Fremont would have'doubled by this
time, they uould find the Bank book with
*65.000,000 carried to the' other side.
We have one advantage now for the next
eainpaign- 7 -for none of our vnters will be
dissuaded from going fur our candidate, for
fear of any great calamity to the Treasury.
This is a happy instance of ihe old saying,
" Blessed be nothing."
TuE :YACHT WANDERER EXPELLED. —A
quarterly meeting of the. New York Yacht
Club was held on Thursday of last week, at
which resolutions were passed, expelling tthe
yacht' Wanderer from the list of the Yacht
Squadron, and erasing the name' of Captain
W. C. irriefrom the roll of membership,
for abusing the flag of the Club, and for con
duct unbecoming a gentleinam These reso
bitions were based upon information commu
nicated to the U.S. Senate by the President
of the United States, to the effect- that the
Wanderer laid been employed by Corrie to
ship a cargo of negroes on the coast of Africa,
and land them in this country for the purpose
of traffic. This action on the part of the
New . York Yacht Club was entirely correct,
and, indeed, was rendered imperative upon
them by the relations which they hold to the
General Government (or their harbor privi
leges.—Porler'it Spirit.
SECTIONAL PAR:rms.—The first move
to
ward the-formation of Sectionalor geograph
ical parties was made by What is called the
.Democratic paity, which has gradually been
given up to the control of the Ultra Southern
men for the purpose of extending the " pecul
iar institunon" into free territory. This con
tinued until the North was forced to organ
ize the Republican party'in defence of free
soil and free institutions. Theleaders of the
present Republican party were once the chief
men of the Democratic party North,• but
were forced out of it by, its increasing pro.
divines. for Southern Interests. Sumner,
Banks, Chase, Wilmot, Fremont, are of this
class. .The-Republican party never would
have had an existence had the Democratic
party retained its nationality, and had Dem
ocratic administrations performed their duty
te.the whole country instead of being given
up to the exclusive use and,benefits of South
ern men and Southern notions.---.Milibrd

characteristic of inventors in perfeetlng a, plan :
for

but whatever *wit we' or...thu public may'
choose to entertain, the plan is soon to be put
to the test 9f nractienl espetinteht,

of the largest and most intelligent capitalists
in that city, has constructed an ice boat,
which is now being put_ together at Prairie
du Chien. In two or three weeks it is ex
pected that all *ill be ready for the tdal t i p
the Ilissi'..sippl:
The boat is built of iron and is seventy
two feet long by twelve feet broad, with flat
bottom, and two keels running the whole
length. If it breaks tl.rmh the, !be or eh
counto-s a‘t »l idle, iliacitinery is prepared
I which, in a few minutes, puts it again on the
ice, ready for onward progress, iThe driving
wheel is near the stern, and the It ventor cal
culates the ordinary speed on tlie iee at men
ty to fotts , irtlle3 an aour, and with clear,
lola] tee, he believes his vessel can (wily be
made to attain a speed of eighty miles. The
cabal is twelve by forty feet, and the capaci

gers and lire ,tors of fl•ei,:',!lt. thb entire

in them, after nine o'clock in the evening, to
arrest them and the proprietors: Thii is a
good - more. Boys have no business at such:
places at late hours in the evening, • and the
keepers of drinking saloons ought do know
