tracted much attention. They, numbered probably
over 200 men on horseback, and about 400 more
were on foot, proceeded by a band of music. In
the precession I noticed many flap and banners.
The excitement here is on the- increase. A large
majority of our people eaidently sympAtbize with
the boatmen, although they condemn their inter
ference with private boats and boats of the corn-
panies.
Tho boat to which I alluded in my letter of yes

them are too - small. Every usrprejuidicedman can
see that changes for the better might be made,
and the number of the Preiddent Judges_ much di
minished. The Legislature ought to be required,
before the amendment goes into operation, to dis:
trict the State equally and fairly—giving - to each
Judge a just amount of 4abor, and requiring all to
earn their salaries.
Thirdly. The terms are too long. If responsi
bility to' public. opinion is the object aimed at, the
terms of the President Judges ought to be short
ened. A responsibility Which is postponed for
ten years, is only a little better than none. This
applies with still more force to the Judges of the
Supreme Court.
But the matter to which we would call special.
attention, is the crying demand for other reforms.
If this proposition is submitted alone to the peo
ple, no other change in the Constithtion can be.
made for five years afterwards, and the probabili
ties of ever accomplishing certain' important
modifications of our fundamental law, vanish al
most entirely.
We are clearly, therefore, in 'favor of submt
Ling an amendment along with the judicial reform
which will abolish, or at lewd restrain, the cor
ruptions of special legislation. We need not enlarge
on this subject. Everyone knows that our Assem
bly, instead' of making wholesome general laws
for the whole body of the people, are engaged al•
most the whole of their time in passing special
and private laws. The most of these laws stein
juriolis to the conamunity—many of the balance
are useless, and scarcely any are.a positive benefit;
Yet we pay enormous sums out of the Treasury
every year for the manufacturing of such dash;
and the worst of it is, that it corrupts the legisla
tive department. and taints it with a disease which
nothing but a radical removal of the &time can
cure. All the good That can result from special
legislation may be obtained by. conferring the pow
ers now exercised by the General Assembly'uptin
the people themselves, or ori -- some local tributial
to be by them chosen. Let the roads be attended
to by County Commissioners and Grand Juries—
election districts by the people of the townships
and wards—estates and escheats by the Orphans'
Courts—divorces, chang ing of names, and the es-•
tablishment of municipa corporation; by the courts
of common Pleas. We have not room nor time'
to embody our views on the whole of this subject.
We calf on our brethren of the •Dcmocratic press
to speak tlaeii sentiments.
If we could' abolish all special legislation, we
would save annually some thirty or forty thou- 1
sand dollars to the public treasury, and millions
to individuals, who, by the present system are
daily swindled out of their earnings. We would
put down the system of "boring," which has so
long disgraced Idarrisburgh; and it. would Only be
necessary to have one session of the Legislature.]
in two years, to last thirty days, instead of a three
months' session every year.
We sincerely believe that there never has been
a time when the Democracy had so fair an oppor
tunity
of striking a bold and effective blow ut all
the corruptions against which we have struggled
for so many years
Our creed may lie thus briefly stated: A Junes
CLARY CHOSEN INAIF.DIATELY RI THE. PEOPLE, •ND
THE ASOLITION OF, OR HEAVY RESTRAINTS UPON,
ALL SPECIALLEVISLATION.
Woca.—The Proved of the Former.—A sensible
writer, in the Cleveland Plaindealer, offers on this
subject some sensi3 le reman', which we are sure,
would benefit the farmers of our State to observe.
The writer says :
" The inquiry is often made, " What is the pros
pect in regard to the approaching clip 1" From all
I can see there is a good one. Price. have been
risen in the Eastern markets, and they are maintain
ed. The old game will doubtless be attempted to
buy below the market. But for ou s t hope farmers
will be firm, and get the fair value of their wool. If
need be, bold on farmers tilt a fair price is offered.
Wool is becoming n great staple all over the west.
When one rimer sells below the market, it loan in
jury to others engaged in the pursuit - ; it encourages
the speculators to persevere in buying below the
real value. He wants to make- money out of the
fanner—his 6or 8 cents on the pound of wool—even
half this is a 'odour; drawbaCk. Let the buyer have
a fair commission in his business—one cent on the
pound is enough. Such are the wants of the country
and the world that though the next clip is calculated
at 66,000,000 of pounds in the United States, it will
be 14,000,000 of 'pounds below the actual want for
manufacturing purposes. No pursuit promises bet
ter than the growing of wool for the five years to
come—nay, for ten or twenty. Dairy products will
probably become itdrug in the market. There will
be over production, vs indicated by present appeae
once,. It is true that we are becoming avast nation
of consumers—ten twelfths are of products which
cannot be transported over the world like the ven
ous woolen manufactures and {lthaca or produce.
The one in much more perishable than the other.
Progress of Mormons
The settlement of the persecuted Mormons in the
far. off Salt Lake Valley, making .a sort of half-way
house between the western froittier , and the Pacific,
will prove of immense advantage to the. United .
States in
peopling and civilizing those wild regions.
The rapid increase of this sect, despite every
obstacle, is scarcely realized by the public, and a
late St. Louis Organ thus notices the Mormon pro
gress :
There is in this city and neighborhood a body of
them, which, though constantly sending off detach.
manta on their way to the Promisid Land," is
still rapidly increasing. The number in St. Louis
and vicinity is estimated at 3010. - Iu Illinoia, Wis.
cousin, Michigan and loVra, Obeluding Eanesville
on the Missouri River,) they are computed to be 25,
000. In the great Basin and- Western California,
there are probably 12,000 more. The Mormons
scattered elsewhere over the United States may
swell the total Mormon strength in the Union_ to
nearly 50,000. To this aggregate, which, allowing
the mishaps of this church, must be, considered a
heavy one, the layge number of e,rintieris in England,
Scotland and Wilee—all of whom are either now
preparing for removal to the United States, or are
looking forward to some future and no distant day,
for that to them happy and much desired c,onsumma
tion.

A considerable depreciation in,the value of land
is discernible in all parts of Ireland dining the last

Another—in 1844, a small estate in Westport
Was gold for .£7,000. A year elapsed and , tbe'
property was ag ain sold for 1'6;909 short ; a time
subsequently e lapsed, and it was sold for £3,500,
exactly one-tialf of the amount itsold for four years
before. A nobleman in Ciirk has lately offered.

gage tolray the poor rates. • • . ;
;From an account , lately published, it appears,
that the number Of military employed to ,collect
,poor rates, from Ist October, 1848 to Ist Februit.._
ry, 1849 amounted to 11 field officers, 45 captains
118 subalterns, 2t'. sergeants; 4.2 drummers,
4,510 rank and file, exclusive:; of 69 officers and
2,538 constables.
;The accounts lately receiied from the ,West.re-,
lative to the crops, are far from .being Agreeable.
It appears that it is, evidently, the object of the far
mers to get the craps out'of their handi, with the
least possible risk and eipense, with the ulterior
design ofemigrating immediately after the harvest.
It is stated that where grain crops were sowed kit
year, the same grain has been again planted, or
rather turned, into the ground without ploughing,
harrowing, or such usual preparation; but that the
grain has been pitched in, and the' earth turned ,
loosely over.
