We shall not be back ward m exposing villainy and official corruption, but -we think an anonymous communication is not tho proper vray to do it. ir« Civis” is in possession orj ■ tho facte he sets forth, and will-allow his name to accompany their publication, we shall certainly gtvo them to tho public, ** without fear, favor or af fection. 5 * We have never ollowed ourselves to doubt the 1 honesty and capacity of, the people to choose 1 their own officers. It would be folly in ub to think I ■ or to say that they always choose the men who I are best qualified; but on the whole, they are bet-1 ter governed by men of their own choice than by those who are appointed second-handed. Somel suppose that the situation of the judges of our - courts may be an exception to thiß rule; but we I are proud to say of tho county of Allegheny, that I the first experiment tends most signally to prove the supposition false. I Our County Convention, with the greatest tman-1 imity, has selected as a candidate for Judge of the 1 Supreme Court, Waltxb H. Lowbie. No man ever secured such a compliment by fairer means, j He is a very decided Democrat, but has never' mixed much in party politics. He has attached himself to no political cliques. He has not sought the favor and assistance of-the leaders of partisan warfare- He has established his reputation only ■■ by the-quiet, diligent, honest and firm discharge of hk-duties, first as a lawyer, and then as a Judge. No honest man doubts his honesty, none hiefirm -ness, none his learning, none his judicial skill, while all confess his integrity, end point to his ex. emplary life. . We have known him long, and hava admired his growiog reputation, and unobtrusive worth, and it is gratifying to find that oor judgment is sustained by the concurrent sanction of public opinion. i In the Convention there was no attempt to de feat him, and we can say no better of him than that the best men of the Convention were hio tnoa t earnest supporters, and there were many noble men there. j Here then is a Jndge who was never suspected 1 of consol ting temporary expediency or policy—l who never was suspected of favoring a triend, or j treating any one as an enemy m his decisions—! who never allowed tbepnnciples of law to be set aside in what are called u hard cases, 1 and who decides all esses according to his honest views of, the law, with care and caution, and yet with un bending firmness, and a total disregard of mdivid oal complaints. Such is the man whom the De mocracy of Allegheny county present to the peo ple of the State as their choice for the Supreme Bench If the whole Bench shall consist of such men, who will hereafter talk of the incapacity of the people to choose their own fudges ?

Ditisit, Esq ,• formerly of this State, but now Clerk-of the Illinois Housi of Representatives, fox a copy of a senes of resolutions which have recently been passed in both branches of the Illinois Legists, ture, iii regard to the compromise measure of the last session of Congress. Wa publish below the resolutions, with the note of Mr. Dittan, for the information of our numerous readers. Illinois has always stood by the side of the Old Keystone State in sustaining the Union, the Constitution, and Che compromise measure of Congress. With fanatics and Disuniomsts these two great States have never heW any fellowship. House oe Rserebehtativeo, February 17, 1851. 5 Dear Harper : Tbe following resolutions pass ed both Houses of our Legislature by large ma jorities. It does toy heart good to send them to you. We are all right upon this great question, ae well as upon all'others wherein the great prin ciples of Democracy are involved. Tours truly, ISAAC R. DILLER. Resolved, by the Senate and Bouse of Represmta. fives of the General Assembly of Illinois. That the Constitution of the United States was the result of compromise, and could not have been formed without concessions made by the different States represented in the convention of 1787, ood under which this confederacy of sovereign states was brought together, and consummated as an Union for certain general and limited purposes; and that the lederal government, us a consequence of the constitution, is one of limited powers, derived ex -1 ctusively from that instrument, and,in order to its preservation, all the grants of power therein con. tained, should be strictly construed by all the de„ partments and agents of the general government so constituted; and that all the concessions and compromises therein contained, should be faithful, ly observed and maintained by all sections of our common country; and that it is at all times dan. gerous and inexpedient to exercise doubtful con. stitutional powers, unless the necessities and exi. gencies of the nation should manifestly surmount questions of doubt and inexpediency. Resolved, That the institution of etavery was one of the principal subjects of compromise, em. braced in the constitution, and as in that instru. ment there is no power conferred upon Congress to control or to interfere with the question of sla. very, or with any other domestic institutions of the several states, it would appear doubtful, at least, whether any such power was intended to be conferred upon Congress in regard to the ternto. ries of the Union, and that if such power was con. ferred, it is certainly inexpedient to exercise it, because the exercise of such power is calculated to impair the happiness of the people, and to cn. danger the perpetuity of the Union. Resolved, That regarding the Constitution of United States as not conflicting with the divine law as revealed to us, we, as citizens of theVVm. erican Union, know no higher law than the con stitution of our country; and that os members of the General Assembly ot Illinois, where we take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, do not consider that we mako any mental reservation touching the requirements of duly imposed by that instrument — Therefore, be it Resnlvcd'by the Senate and Bouse of Representatives of the General Assembly of Illi nois, That all law* passed by the Congress of the United States, under and ip pursuance of tbe Con stitution, should be supported, upheld, and obeyed by all tha citizens of this, and every other State and Territory m the Union. Resolved, That the controversy upon the subject of slavery, between the slaveholdiog and non. slaveboldiug states of the Union, and the distrac tions, jealousies end destruction of mutual confi»' dence among the eeveral states arising therefrom, should be deprecated by every good citizen and lover of his country, in the North, South, East and West, as having the inevitable tendency of loosen ing the bonds of union, and threatening to pros, tratethe noblest fabric of civil and religioni liber ty that the world ever saw. Resolved, That tho sysiem of adjustment or compromise, passed during tho last session of Congress, compromising the admission of Califor nia, the establishment of territorial governments for Utah and New Mexico, without the Wilmot proviso, so called, the settlement of tho boundary line between Texas and Vow Mexico, the sup pression of tho slave trade in the District of Co« lumhia, and the. amendment of the act of 1793, for tho recovery of fugitive slaves, is eminently calculated to remove the controversy, and to ro. store peace, quietude and confidence between the different sections of our beloved country, and meets with the hearty concurrence and approval of this General Assembly. Resolved, That oar Senators be Instructed, and our Representatives in the Congress of the Uni. ted States be requested, to use all their energies and to employ their best abilities and influence, in resistance to any and all attempts that may be made to distarb, or to unsettle, either by repeal or modification, any of the measures embraced in that system of edjustment or compromise. Resolved, That any resolutions passed by any previous General Assembly, in conflict with the foregoing, and especially those adopted during the first ees&ion of tho last General Assembly, known aathe Wilmot proviso resolutions of instruction, be, and the same ere hereby rescinded Resolved, That his Excellency, the Governor of this etate, be requested to transmit a copy of tbe foregoing resolutions'so each of onr Senators and Representatives,, with the request that a copy thereof be presented in each House of Congress, that the position: of Illinois, so fares can be defi ned bv her General Assembly, may be understood by tbe other states of the Union, cs-1 • w Hanif in the United States The Banker’s Magazine gives tho annexed state ment of the Banks in tho United States; Maine .. « • Now Hampshire..

A gentleman at a public dinner once offered the following sentiment: “The rising generation food for (he devil.” We thought at the time, and think yet that the toast contains more truth than wit. It is really lamentable to see the dispoM tion our youth evince to indulge in every variety of vice and dissipation. Imagining at the age of seventeen that they are full-fledged men, they be- gin to indulge in the follies and absurdities of “children of superior growth.” Cards ore their pass-time; and their pocketß are filled with dirks, pistols and an ingeniously constructed and mur derous weapon, called slung shot. In addition to this they think it necessary to “ imbibe ” occa sionally, in order to look like men, and it is a very common thing to eee them tipping glasses and swallowing enormous whiskey cock-tails, with “ my very best respects." A few evenings since, while standing in front of oor office, we overheard something like the follow in" conversation between two promising members of the rising generation. They wore evidently not more than sixteen years of age. Bob “ Ought to have been on hand last rnght Sam—there Was a bully muss. Our crowd, ycr know, don't go away from nobody.

As this office is one which requires ability* energy dnd perseverence, I know of no man better suited to ( fill the office than Mr. Roberts. Although com* a young man, he has already won for himself a most enviable reputation, and his fu* : ture prospects are of a character to cheer him onward. His Democracy is unimpeachable, and his high regard for the great principles of the party strong and abiding. Fluent in speech, elo* quent, impressive and elegant in st>le, I am pleased to observe that Mr. Robert’s qualifications are beginning to be properly appreciated. Our town is filled with strangers. The meet ing of the Pennsylvania Bible Society has drawn a good many clergymen and others to attend its sittings, while tne organization of the Board of Revenue Commissioners has also induced many persons to pay the Capitol a visit. The streets are enUvened'Tjy the presence of crowds of ladies who take advantage of the present delightful weather to promenade. i . In the Senate, business drags slowly onward. There is not half the life there that ta found in the House More speeches, perhaps, are made, and it may be, abler ones than in the House , but still there seems a want of life and spirit among the grave senators. Perhaps when the absent ones return, we shall have more briskness. No business of importance was transacted to-day. In the House the bill providing for an extension of the line allowed for the construction of the Harrisburg and Allentown Railroad was called up, and after some debate referred to the Committee on Inland Navigation. The Charter of the Com pany is now void, in consequence of the work not having been commenced nor completeJ within the time provided by the Act of An extension of time will scarcely be granted, as there are other matters of importance connectedsvith tht*> bill, which it ib desirable the Legislature should guard against.

Visum. Facta .for tho Carious. According to Bocrbavo, the healthiest children aio born in January, February and March. Sorpents annually shed their thins, which, rc« markable as it may at 6rst appoar, extend over their eyea. The natural acnall-por usually carries off eight in ovary Hundred altackod with U ; but of threo hun* dred inocalatad, only ono dies.

The flea, locust, and grasshopper lump two hun dred tunes their own longth; equal to a quarter of a mile lor a man. There are in a man, fivo hundred and twenty-sevon muscles; two hundred and fifty seven of which arc ie pairs. Of these no less than ono hundred are con stantly used to the simple act of breathing. The average depth of tho Atlantic ocean is set down at 14,400 feol and that of tho Pacific at 18.000. On the western side of St. Helena soundings have been made, it ta said, to tho depth 0f27,600 foet-*five miles and a quarter—without toqchiog bottom. The first code of written laws possessed by the i Atbomins was prepared by Dracu, a man of 6tern I and rigid character. These laws punished all crimes with death, and oc, account of their sangut* nary character, are said to havo been written in blood. There are 36,000 seods in tho capsule of a tobao I co-plant, and Ray, tbo celebrated botanist, counted in the head of a poopy, 32,000 seeds. It has been calculated by many naturalists that theelm tree pro I duces yoarly 630,000 seeds. Iftho foatbory gill* ofn small perch could be uo folded aiul spread out,, they would nearly cover a square yard. Thisv/ill not sppuar so extraordinary when it is recollected that thq nervo of a dog’a nose I is spread in ea thin a wob, that it is computed to be equal to lour square fact. fa the human skeleton there are two hundred and separate bones, Hard nothing people snmetimes have an oxtra number, which aro formed near the joints of the thumb} fore fingers and tooa. They are useful in increasing the power of the mua clcs'whorever they grow. Thu aorta or principal artery ol the whale, .mea« aurcfl about a foot ia diameter, and the quantity of blood thrown into it at each pulsation, has been es timated at from ten to fifteen gallons ; the rush of thia fluid i* quite audible to the harpoonere whon about to strike the animal. When rabbits, squirrels, and various othor gnaw* ing nnimalß, are led on soft meals, their teeth some* times grow ao long and crooked as to prevent them from taking food : and instances have occurred, to which, to preserve life,-it became necessary to break them off or extract them. Dr. Darwin was of the opinion that if a deaf per* son dreamed of hearing, the internal parts, eason. ttal to the function, were unimpaired. Thoeamo remark, aayS Dr. Smith, of Boston, is applicable to tho blind. I have invariably found that the lucura bly deaf, as welt as the incurably blind, never dream of h earing and seeing. Publication of the Laws.— i'hero is a. bill belore the Legislature, introduced by Mr. Mowry, ofSom erset, providing Tor the publication of.all general laws in at least one paper ol every county in the Siate;. In lieu of the docket fee of three dollars, now allowed to Attorneys in oil cases on the dock et of the Prothonotary of the Court of Common Pleas, it is proposed that there shall bo charged and on all suits entered, two dollars, lor the uso ol the county, to be paid over semi-annually to tho Couuty Treasurer. This fund is to be appropriated to the expense of publishing the laws in tho papers ol the respective counties, the cost ofpoblishmg not to ei« coed the amount so received, and any excess that may in any case be found over sod above such ex* penae of publication, to bo. applied to conn pur* ;m- | P OBO8 ’ ~ • Bhidedto Accept Office.—lt is reported by cer* tain parties at Washington, that the Hon.
