Resolved, By the Senate and Assembly of

to _vote for the immediate tulusission of the
Territory of Kansas into. th e= Union, on an

Qs" We would suggest to our subscribers
"who nisy call upon us dining court week or
hereafter to bring with tbem,if convenient, the

' two or three years Our reason for making
this requestis,‘ that we lud a considerable
amount of money has been received at differ
ent periods, which' bas been
. receipted for,

in the future.
/gr . A caucus of the Democratic members
of the Efouse•was held on the 27th and was
'lully attended by both Lecoreptonites and
anti-Lecomptonites. --
A committee of twenty,
to
of ten
of each side, were orderedto be appointed, to
report at an adjourned caucus, on Wednes
- ila:; night, (list night), the 'test mode and
- manner of admitting Kansas- into the Union
under the Lecompton Contitution.
From all adviees there is no doubt the bill
gill pass by a considerable majority. It is
expected that the final vote:will be taken to
day, we shall therefore be able to announce
next Week that Kansas has become a State
of this Union, unless some unlooked-for
treachery be developed.
Atrln noticing the , presentation of the
petitions for certain cbatiges in the school
law in this county, last week, we stated that
no further notice . was likely to be taken of
the matter,' and that .so far as we were
.in
formed no megiber took sufficient interest in
the subject to present a bill for the change. Mi.
_Chase, on noticing. this in our lave . r- writes
ns from Harrisburg, stating that we are not
fully informed ; refers us.to a bill read in place
by Mr. Stephens of Way.ne - county, and airs
us to make the proper correction. ?sir. Chase
evidently misunderstood us. Ve had no
reference to . our educutional system, orh gen
:eml change of it, but to a special change for
this county only, in reference to which we
think our notice was correct.

' . As- we .have lemma. -that Wilmot has
recently-denied giving a Written pledge to the
effecttbat if placed upon the, bench - of this
dlittiis, be I , i:4d:refrain
,frnm mingling in
political affairs, it dray be well to mbash", his
memory, as well as that of others,' with a
brief reference to the circumstances connected
with the . transaetion. It wad written on' the
dayOtholding
.the Democratic nominating
convention. Wilinot was bete with his
friends, to ask the coniontion to eat con-
Areas favorable to his nomination. It was
foetid, that- a considerable 'majority of the
delegates were opposed to him, many bad
positive instructions from theiie constituents
to oppose him Unless them oNectionsoould
he overcome he could not be nominated, and,
of course, not. elected. In vain his friends
asked the delegates to yield. They bad no con
ftdence in tins prOmises be and his friends freely
made touching his conduct if pieced on . the
bench. As a last resort be penned a note,
addressed to F. B. Streeter, Esq. and others,
and signed it, setting forth briefly, but posi
tively that he could not so far forget the pro
, , • tics of the place he aspired to, as to ever
think of inierfering in politics, and if &netted
to Mc bench he would in no way meddle in
political °fairs while occupying that position.
Upon the "stMngth of this Soletin pledge some
of the delegates finally yielded their opposi
tion and permitted him to be nominated.
This pledge wag handed to Col. John Bland
ing by Mr Streeter with a request that be
take care of it. This Mr. Blanding declined
doing, stating that he bad so little confidence
in the man that he regarded his written pledge
as worthless. The fact of his giving this
pledge is too well known to be - denied with
imp Unity, too many men of unquestionable
character fur veracity were acquainted with
'the circumstances; saw it, read it, and cow
mented upon: it. - One gentleman who saw
it, remarked to us recently that "a • man. who
would deny so well remembered a transaction;
was unfit to be . trusted anywhere, either in
public or private." Has
. this: pledge been
violated I This is the que,tion 'which natur
ally presents itself. • Here, it needs no answer,
for its gross and unqualified 'violation has
been witnessed by all. Out of court and in
conk from term to term, and from year ,to
year has:David Wilmot, contrary to his
voluntary pledge, both verbal and written,
and in defiance of
_public opitiOn,—nay of 1
justice-itself—persisted in using the power
and influence given to him by his judicial
position to further ,the cause of anti-slavery
fanaticism. Not content with spending his
vacations, (and they comprise most of the
year,) in meddling - in politics, he has spent a
portion of the time allotted to holding court,
to making speeches, which, for violent. abuse
of those differing with him are not equalled -
by any. ' ,
Iti`June '54 be wrote a letter to a Hatford
meeting in which he laid out the ground
work of the plan be wished the anti-slavery
men to follow. This letter w* -abusive aad
,insulting in its style and language, denounc
ing Democrats as tools and puppetsof the
Slave Power, who had bderi bought and cop
rupted by patronage to betray the cause of
frtedom, and asserting that the ConstAtion
was invaded,, violated in fact, at its demand.
This letter was published-in August, at which
time we see it mentioned in the county
papers that Wilmot had - been stumping the
counties of Bradford, Tioga, Potter and Sul
livan, also in Tioga county, N.. Y., and
meetings were given . out for him in Rush and
Dirnock, and-in Montrose during court week.
We attended`-these meetings, and remember
well the violent character of the speeches.
This - state of affairs has been continued al
most 'without interluption,and from its further
continuance our people have a right to be
protected. In justice to Wilmot we ouiltt
to mention that at his lust court held h i c i ty
he did not make a speech—pethaps for - tie
reason-that the por,r fellow had not recorged
from the effects of the awful shock received on
the second Tuesday of October last.
The Llariislurg Herald rernaiks_ th at Wil
mot"is making all sorts of promises in order
to induce the Legislature to retain him in the
position he has disgraced by his rash
action. his last resort is to compel his
friends to pour promises to do better into the
ears of the Democratic members. Wherever
he or any, of his friends can grasp the button
hole of a Democratic Legislator, they drag
him aside, and with tearful eyes admit, the
delinquency of the past, with solemn pledges
of different behavior in future. This is Wil
mot-iatical—every bit of it. `Succumb to his
desires, and in two minutes, if opportunity
afforded, Wilmot would belie the fervent as
severation just before uttered.
We caution the Democrats
.of the Legis
lature against permitting themselvias to be se
duced by Wilmot's- flatteries,-promise and
hypocrisy. He is a most adroit trickster,
and is working a desperate nardewe trust,
without effect."

THE LAST SPEECH OF WILMOT
BY .JOHN Y. FoRNET
The speech of the abolition representative
from the Twelfth District, on Friday last, was
prefaced with the cool declaration that as he
desired to be absent for some weeks, he would
thank the-house for the opportunity to speak !
The presence Of this gentleman in Cengress
is not, of -much account to his constiteeats,
while to the country it has been a source of
expense and disgrace for several years; but it
is not often that a man can , advertise hie pur
pose of leaving , his seat " for some weeks,"
just on the eve of important legislation, with
out being deservedly censured for indifference
to his duties. But, Wilmot is a sort of Ccn
gressicknal sloth, and never wakes up unleis
to create confusion. So far as the wants'at
Washington, of his constituents, and the
solid interelts of the country at I age are corr-'
nectrd, they have always received little or
none 'of his attention. But we sat down to
call attention to .the following extract from
his speech, as it appears in the Globe, not to.
cavil at his departure from his post, or his
proclaimed absence " for some weeks :"
" I am the friend, and have ever been the
constant supporter of party organization
but the organization I follow must be one
based upon principle, and having for its ob
ject the attainment of legitimate ends: I
will not organize to steal, to murder, nor to
extend into territory now free, the institution
of African slavery: • "I shall support no or
ganization. wielded by men who openly de
clare their purpose to
,extend slavery; and
who proclaim,. in ailvance, that thsy will
support no candidate unless.he avows princi
ples favorable to their policy,"
This paragraph begins with a falsehood and
ends with a falsehood.' It is notoriously false
that Wilmot has ever been " the consistent
supporter of party organization." Ile oppos
ed General Cass, after-pledging himself sol
emnly, before a thousand witnesses, to sup
port any candidate nominated at Baltimore
'by the Democratic Baltimore Convention.—
So tenacious was he to be understood as the
advocate of regular nominations in March of
1848, that, in asking the Democratic State
Convention, then assembled at Ilarrisburg, to
accept George Sanderson, Esq., as the Dele
gate from his, District to Baltimore, lie said
that even if he went there himself he would
carry out the will of the State and support
'Mr. Buchanan as the choice of the State ;
but he urged Mr. Sanderson as one who had
no personal feelings on the subject, and, there
fore, as a proper man-to send. All this be
urged, with a profusion of promises and
pledges. Mr. Buchanan was not the nominee,
and Mr. Cass was. Wihnot bad no excuse,
there( ,re, for breaking his pledge volaraarily
ofered; and then this honest man=--this WOn
orable man—who so hates slavery and all
wrong—began to use the dagger, in the dark,
against our national candidates. He gradu
ally modified his solemn pledge that he wo'd
support the Democratic- Presidential candi
date, by saying 'that he would not oppose.
him. A few weeks more, (he himself having
in the meanwhile been elected to Congress,)
found him in the field for Van Buren and
against Cass. Show us theslareholder guil
ty of baseness and dishonesty like this ; and
you will show us a man despised by all who
knoth him. And -yet Wilmot has the audac
ity to proclaim that he bad " ever been the
consistent supporter of . party organization !"
Our chaste Wilmot will "not organize to
steal—to murder—and to extend into Terri
tory now free, the institution of African sla
very !" Mark this precious avowal. lle talks
of Democratic organization, and ho charges
upon that organization theft, murder; and '
the extension of slavery—for there is no other
meaning to be given to his language. There
is not a Whig in Congress, or the country,
that has ever gone so far in abuse of the De
mocraey as this. To denounce the organiza
tion of the NatiOnal Democracy as an organ
ization to accomplish " theft, murder, and.
exten,ion of sial ory,", was reserved . for David
Wilmot, whose friends still contend that - he
is a sound and radical Democrat!
But if this paragraph begins with falsehood,
and is steeped in calumny against our brave
old part --- ;:y it winds up with as scandalous an
tit,truth as ever was framed, Still talking of
the Democratic, organization, Mr. Wilmot ex
claimed : " I shall support no organization
wielded by merowho openly declare their
purpose to extend slavery, and aho proclaim,
in advance, that they will support no Landi
date unless he avows principles favorable to
their policy." Is the Democratic organiza
tion "wielded" by such men 1 Who wields
that organization I A National Democracy
of which the free North - and West are the
majority. What is the bond of union be
tween the members of 'this National Democ
racy 1 Clearly to let slavery alone ; clearly
to give the people the control of their institu
tions. The South accord to this policy with
singular unanimity, and this, too, in the face
of the assertion that it will prevent the ex
tension of slavery !! The other branch of
the same sentence, that those who wield the
same organization "proclaim, in advance,
that they will support uo candidate rnless he
avows principles favoriblis to their policy,"
is the saddest falsehood of all.. Mr. Wilmot's
pledge to support the Democratic candidate
for Presi&ent in 1848 was broken because the.
Democratic candidate would not take ground
with himself and others, against the Constitu
tion and the Union. This is history and can
not. be controverted.
WilmOt, in a word, will have nothing
to do with the organization of the National
Democracy—for his declaration •is this, nei
ther more nor Icts—becittse there are slave
holders in the Democratic party. Re ought'
to follow. this up, by quitting, the -'country,
because we have a Constitution that respects
the institutions of the) . South. He ought to
eat, no slave-grown sugar. He ought to wear
no slave-giown cotton. Uc ought to chew
no slave-grown tobacco. To do either would
not - be half so ridiculous as - to attacks great

The Removal of Judge Loring.
The infamous act of the fanatics of Massa
chusetts in removing Judge Loring calls forth
the united execration of the Press all over
the country, without respect to pattj. There
is no paper, not even the most ultra abolition
sheet, that lays claim to common decency..
that attempts to apologize for the act. We
give extracts from several of the leading and
influential "Itepublicisn" organs of the North.
From the Now York Coutier
"The removal of Judge Loring is much to
be deplored both for its effects upon Massa
chusetts, and newr the country 'generally.
Fur tht movement for the removal has from
the beginning been animated by a vindictive,
venomous *Tit. Those wha really desired
that he should be displaced were very Tew,
until the leaders of the extreme and fanatical
faction whom he had offended in the BURNS
matter, lashed those who were reasonable

this. And that the vengeful character of the
prweeding might be umnistakablo,it was push
ed one to the extreme issue after it.had be
come entirely unnecessary as a means of re
lieving Judge Loring of his Probate dutie's."
From the Providence Journal-
"The removal of a Judge for an official act
in which no corruption is alleged, and no in
comfency it , charged, is a very serious matter,
and we think that the State of Massachusetts
will have abundant reason, in the long future,
to regret it. We believe in the independence
of the Judiciary as absolutely essential to the
liberties of a Republic. ;f . the doctrine of
the Courts are to be overhauled by the Legis
!attire, or if the Judges are to be removed en
pretexts that would not subject them to
im
peachment, this independence is 10. t."
From the Boston Journal
"The Legislature did to unwise and arhi:
trary act in passing this address at the in
stance of a few misguided fanatics, supported
by woman and boys who have been cajoled
into signing petitions for removal. It is an
act not called for by public sentiment, and
which will recoil upon its perpetrators. It
iv disenginous, for , no reasons are given in the
address why Judge Loring.should be removed,
while those which were brought foiward in
the report of the Committee that reported the
address have been pretty thoroughly refuted
in the course of diseusAon."
The National Intelligencer has the follow
ing touching Goy. Banks' most intolerant
act:
"The Boston palters bring us intelligence
of an acrof-political intolerance and injustice
which iutlicts deep reproach on the elevates]
character of the venerable Common Wealth by
which it has been committed. The upright
and independent magistrate, Judge Loring,
has bsen removed from 'office by the Gover
nor of the State of Itlessachtmetta, in accord
anee of an address to that effect by a consti
tional majority of the two Houses of the
Legislature. His offence WAS a firm and fliith
ful performance of his ditty as united Slates
Conitnissfoner in the restoration of a ,fugitive
slave some years ago at Bqston—a case/which
cauqed much excitement et that time, ;Ind
which our readers doubtless remember. This
t;loW at - the independence of the Judiciary,
in cashiering a Judge for inflexibly following
his conscience, even in thelice of popular
passions and intimidation, has been struck
where we should least have looked for it.
His moral courage and his
_hont-s`v, under
the circumstances, should have .commanded
the respect of even of those who condemned
his judgme_nt, and his conduct deserved a
- statue rather then disgrace. We, are happy,
however, - to find enlightened presses of the
North, of all paities, censuring this unwise
act of political proscription."
Democratic Caucus Committee.
WssulsoroN, March 29.—The Democratic
Caucus Committee met this evening at the
Capitol, all the members present, except Mr.
Craig, of Missouri. There was a full and tree
comparison of -views and interchange of
opinion, and ail conducted io the utmost bar
tnouy. Several amendments to the Senate
Kansas bill ,were suggested
. and exp!a'n d.
but Ih3 Lecomptonitei thought that their
substance was already embraced in the
measure. One point discussed, was . the
power of the pr Ole in Kansas to amend their
Constitution bef,re 1864. On this •here was
a diversity of opinion, but there was a general
agreement that it would be amended ptior to
that time, notwithsuat ling the words 'of the
Constitution.
The Committee adjourned without taking
any question on the propositions presented.
It is contempWed•that an effort will be made
to morrow night, in caucus,: to reconcile the
conflicting views.
A caucus was also heldlo-night in one of
the committee rooms •of the Capitol. Its
e:aet character could not be ascertained, but

committee of twenty, was present. It is be

Removal of Judge Loring.
Several yeare ago Judge LOring of Massa
chusetts, in the capacity of United States
Commissioner, remanded Anthony Burns, a
runaway slave, to the custody of his master.
There never was any quese.on that Burns was
a slave, pr that in surrendering him to his
owner Judge Loring did anything more than
fulfill a duty imposed upon him by the fugitive
slave law, • Yet for doing his duty, confessed
ly in accordance with law, Judge Loring was
marked by the abolition power of Massachu
setts. The Legislature addressed Gov. Gard
ner in laver of his removal from his office as
a State Ju - dge. Gov. Gardner refused to obey
the command; but abolition vengeance did
not pause at this sight . check. They had
determined to make Judge Loring a sacrifice,
and were not to be thrown off the trail of their
victim by tile scruples entertained by Gov.
Gardner against playing the part of execu
tioners of a i man who would have been false
to his office and his oath bad he not obeyed
the law which-he was hound to enforce.—
Judge Loriug's, offence was treasured up in
the recollection of his persecutors until N. 1 1 ,
Banks became Governor of Massachusetts.
• This was the fitting opportunity. The proper
instrument was on hand, ready far the work
of decapitation. The Legislature "addressed"
Governor Banks, who immediately raised his
official sae, cut off Judge Loting's head, and
surrendered it to the keeping of the abolition
-hounds who were clamoring for his blood.
Talk about the prostration of the judiciary
of this country before the exactions of the
slave poWer I Was there ever any power
more cruel, retentless, unforgiving and fierce
-ly fanatical than that of the abolition poWer
No sooner does the Supreme Court of the
Un ted States pronounce a decision declaring
the Missouri Com' romise unconstitutional,
than the Judges are derided, mocke - 1, malign -
ed and discredited by the abolition power:
No sooner does a M.vaachusetts Judge exe
cute an act of Congrese, founded upon an
immutable constitutional compact, than this
power is in full cry upon his track, and with
sleepless vengeance persevers until it came in
at the death. A Pennsylvania Judge may
'prostitute his high office to 'do the work of
abs ; he may deliver violent and
vindictive'harangues from the very bench
upon which be.is sworn to administer 'justice;
be may recognize the difference between
political friend and political foe while sworn
to hold an even hand betwetn mum and man,
and he may traverse the State from one ,end
to the other emitting the foulest vituperative
declamation, yet the abolition power has not
a word of condemnation to utter.. But Judge
Loring is pursued for years and finally deposed
for performing what. he would have been re
creant and- forsworn not to, have performed.
If the 'tools of the stave power," a term by
which. the Black Republicans delight to
designate the 'Northern Democricy, where as

IMPORTANT LAMr.—The Act of the 19th of
April 1848, which was in.force in Philadel
phia and Luzerne counties only, commonly
called the Sherill's Interpleader Act; has re
cently beeri-extended to the whole State, by .
an Act of the Legislature. It is almost ver
bating a copy-of the British statute 1 and 2
Will. IV., C. 58. § 6, and the courts of Phil-.
adelphia have -adopted the English practice
under it This is one of the most important
and salutary laws that has yet been passed
by the present Legislature. It applies in all
cases wher e
, execution is issued against, and
levy is made upon property, as the property
of A. 'but which is claimed by B. in which
case •.13. gives notice to thk Sheriff that
property does not belong to A. , but that it
belongir to bim, B. Whereupon the Sheriff
asks for a rule from the elbrlit ex=

the party issuing ..,the process and.tbe party
making the claim,ihnt said parties ivay try
the title to Ilia propertrand that the Court
may. decide to whom it belainrs. - This. is a
much speedier and rime satisfactory way, and
