.Free Banking Bill, as it passed the Senate. Wo
.h&ve oot found time to examine its features carefully*
Professor Kmeraon’a Lecture.
The City Lecture Room, on Wood street, was
crowded to ils utmost capacity by an intelligent
audience last evening, to hear the first Lecture of
the distinguished Ralph Waldo Ehbbson. The
subject was “-EBOiam),” which was chosen spe*
daily; as en introduction to the general course
. whieh will be commenced on Saturday evening.
When-we say that the Lecture was a brilliant and
beautiful production, we bnt feebly convey an idea
■ / of its merits. The learned lecturer drew a lanh
ful and life-like picture of England and the Eng
lish—their institutions, political and social—their
physical strength, their intellectual greatness,
their moral grandeur. But he painted the bright
side of the picture only—the Glory, of England i
and not her Shame and Misery. .
Mr. Emerson is a pleasing, we may indeed say
a fascinating speaker. He utters no common
place thoughts, he dealsin no common-place lan
. . guage. His ideas are bold, fresh, original and
striking. The Youog Men’s Mercantile Library
Association deserve great-credit for the good
taste the; have displayed m securing so talented
v and distinguished a Lecturer to appear before a
Pittsburgh audience.
THE NEW OHIO SBNATOH.
' We have the authority of the Ohio Statesman
and Cleveland Plamdealer for saying that Bekj.
F. Wade, the Senator elect from Ohio, is an Abo
- iitionist of the rankest dye! The Plamdealer
publishes a speech of Mr. Win, delivered at Ra
venna, Portage county, on the Fugitive Slave Law,
m November last, copied from the Ohio Star, a
Whig paper, in which we find the following pass.
■ ages:
• “He condemned, in strongest terms, Whigs and
Democrats who aided in the passage of the law
by their votes, or by dodging; rebuked with ener
gy and spirit Fillmore and Crittenden, and visited
" Daniel Webster with the most withering and bi
ting sarcastic denunciation. He said the law,
bristling like a porcupine with pains'and penalties,
- was the most infamous enactment known to the
- ~ statute books of this country, and such es even
the corrupt governments of the old world could
- not pass without driving their people to revolu
. tidn. For himself, regardless of fines and impris
onments, if called upon, he would grant to a fugi
. tive slave the writ of habeas corpus; nay. more,
would give him bis liberty under it. He would
not counsel the people to forced and armed resist
•• ance against the execution of the law; but he
. would say that, in his judgment, should they im
... itate. the example pel by"the old fathers in regard
to the Stamp Act and the Tea Act, they would not
■ err much:' ■
. What will the Pittsburgh Gazette and Commer .
' Ctal Journal say to ibis' l These papers profess to
be friendly to Mr. Fm,moss's administration and
1 the Compromise measures of Congress. Will
. they about over the election of Mr. Wan* as a
- “ Whig victory,” or will they rebuke the Whigs
of the Ohio Legislature for sending such a fanatic
’ to the U. S. Senate ’ The Cleveland True Demo
crat, a Gumisoa and Sswann disunion print
breaks forth as follows:
A Senator Elected.— John B. F. Wade, of
Ashtabula, is elected United States Senator.
Let ua rejoice! He is an anti-slavery man, of
most decided stamp, and if he lives up to his de*
' durations, as we rbcheve he will, we could have
no better. Seward.will have in him an ally and a
friend f
Let us rejoice, also, that the Senatons from the
Reserve! We shall be known now, politically,
in Ohio!
03* Washington county, Pa., with a population
of .nearly 50,000 inhabitants, has not & single
prisonerin its jail. The Reporter says: .
Our Prosecuting Attorney has little to do, and
,the Lawyers complain sadly of dull times, and
' not without cause. At the last session of Court,
> thejurore were ail discharged on Wednesday of
the first week, and so on Wednesday of the sec
: -ond week, all discharged but the jury in the box
If all the stones are true that are told of a
couple of Washington Whig Editors, during their
late visit to Pittsburgh, there will probably be
>. tenants in the Washington jail before long. Out
of respect for the feelings of the friends of the
parties, we forbear entering into particulars at
present."
Wesley Sinead off Cincinnati*
There is a gentleman named Wxslet Shead, liv
ing in Cincinnati, who is the proprietor of an inßtt*
tation. called the “ Citizens’ Bank.” Ho not only
loans his money on favorable terms to industrious
mechanics, but gives away hundreds and thousands
of dollars id-the course of the year to necessitous
individuals and benevolent motituiionv. Without
hiving any personal knowledge of Mr. Smead, we
have formed a good opinion of him, and hopethat
he may live a thousand years and enjoy richly tho
. blessings and comforts of this beautiful earth.
• The following which we clip from the Cincinnati
tfovpareit, makes mention of another act of Mr*
Subad’s liberality:

rotary, the gam of $lOO, as a voluntary and unso
licited donation to the “ Cincinnati Typographical

his kindness and liberality.
■ Resolved* That, aB Mr. Smead was once a “Print

his remembrance of old associates, and point, with
pride, to his example, as evidence of what may be
attained by economy, energy, and perseverance.

[From tho Democratic Union.]
THE SUPREME BENCH—JUDGE BELL.
In consequence or the recent amendment of the*
Constitution or Pennsylvania, the coming election
will bo one of deop and lasting importance to her
citizons. The Judges, whose daty and province it la to
construe and administer the law, and whose integri
ty, capacity and independence are the main guaran
ty for the security of the property, liberty and life
of the citizen, are then to be elected. How impor
tant, therefore, that tho people should move with
pmdcnco and caution in the selection of candidates
for judicial station.
Although both of tho great political parties will
doubtless have their regularly nominated candidates
for the supreme bench—s’Staio Convention having
already been called by each for that purpose—it may
safely bo announced that party drill will fail to rally
end uni to the masses upon tho nominations, to tho
same extent as opon candidates for purely political
offices, unless tho men selected are entirely unexcep
tionable on tbe score of integrity and qualifications. *
It is nothing uncommon to hearraon, knowo for
their partisan zeal and fidolity, say that they will
not vote for any man fora judgeship, if they do not
know him to befit and.worthy ofthe.office. Uu*
questionably a Democrat mil f and should, all other
things being equal, prefer Democrats, and a Whig
those of his parly { but each, it is believed, will re*
qaire a higher standard of merit in tbe candidates
than he would be satisfied with in nominees lor other
offices. The success of the new system, and the
interests of tbe people, require this ; and it will be
well for politicians to look to it if they desire the
sacecss of their candidates.
Those remarks are but preliminary to the naming
of a candidate for tho Supreme Beach. The present
bonch is, beyond all question, an ablo one. It has
been suggested, however, by some, that a clean
sweep should be made of it. By others it is ad
vised—and certainly this is the wiser and mere just
view of tho subject—that tbo Democratic party
should select for their candidates their ablett and
but men* wherever they are to be found, whether
already upon the beocb or at the bar. Selfish, am
bitious and designing men may. net think bo; but the
success ofthe ticket can be made certain in no other
way.
On tbe list of names already brought forward by
Democratic papers in different parts of the Btate,
ss worthy of the Supremo Bench, is Thomas- S.
Bell. Why should not he be nominated T -
Judge Bell is a native ot Philadelphia—was born
about the year 1800, and ts now at an age when all
tho faculties of his mmd havo attained their best
powers and most perfect development. He com
menced the study oT the law at an early age, and
having completed - his course, removed to Chester
county, where, after o short struggle with poverty,
and among strangers, he made his way to a good prac
tice. Upon the death of Judgo Darliogton, m 1889,
Y aB w?! ,po,otcri Gov. Porter, President Judgo
°‘ ,ostf fi^ J a( * ,c,a l district;.and subsequently,
in 184 b, upon tho resignation of Judge Sergeant, ho
was promoted by Gov, Shank to the Supreme Bench.
The people of Chester and Delaware counties can
testify to his abilities as a lawyer, his impartiality
and efficiency as a judge, and his deportment qs a
citizen. > - .
Since tbe elevation of Judge Bell to the Supremo
Bonch, bis sphere of duty and action has been exten
ded over tho.Stato. His opinions, with those of his
brothren ot that bench, are m the bands of thelega!
profession in every county, who can beat judge how
he has acquiUed'himscif. There appears to be' but
one opinion of hta ability, patience, industry and
courtesy, and that such as efiust po highly gratifying
to him and bis friends. Ail commend him as an ezs
cellent judicial officer and highly useful man in his
present station, which it cortainly any thing but a
sinecure.
No Democrat can object to Judge Bell because of
his politics. . Without being a mere politician or in
triguer for office and emolument, he has been true
to bis party and us principles on all occasions, serving
and adhering to them with the faith of an honest
republican, not only in tho comparatively peaceful
stnio of elections at home, and in the convention to
amend the Constitution, but also in the memorable
Buckshot war, when ho took- a prominent and sues
cessful stand in defence of popular rights, and was
mainly instrumental in defeating the designs of RiU
ner, Stevens A Co., who seemed .to be determined
to overthrow by foul means a government which they
could not rule by.fair.
Such is Jodge Beil, as a man, a Democrat, a law
yer and a judge. With him and others of equal
merit and attainments on their ticket, the Democratic
party may go before the people with the strongest
confidence of success.
Our Pittsburgh neighbors havo all along asserted

Sly Dear Pott;. The Canal Commissioners this
morning submitted to the Senate a reply to the
resolution of that body relative to the propriety
of taxing freight and passengers on the York and
Cumberland Railroad, as proposed in the bill now
before, the Legislature for that purpose. Thiß
communication takes the same ground which
Gen. Packer assumed, and proved to he correct, in
his great speech lately delivered in the Senate
upon this subject. They state, decidedly, that in
their opinion the interest of the Commonwealth
would not be promoted by taxing the business of
this road tb the extent allowed by law, and pros
posed in the bill.
They also state that in their opinion the policy
of taxing the business of the Pennsylvania lines
of improvement will have the tendency to divert
the commercial business of the great West from
those lines, and throw the same upon the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad—a rival of the great Cen
tral Line of Pennsylvania; that this State has
now the means and the power to control a great
portion of the trade between the Ohio and the
Delaware rivers, and that she must take measures
to use the same before Baltimore, in her untiring
efforts to secure that trade, Bhall complete the
Baltimore and. Ohio Railroad to Grave Creek or
Parkersburg, at which time that rival line will
have the advantage over our Central Line in point
of distance at least.
It will appear that this communication fixes
the stamp of truth and wisdom upon Gen. Pack
er’s views upon this subject, so far as any endorse
ment of a public character can do it. The Canal
Board, representing the entire interests of the
broad Commonwealth, have sealed his positions
with their approbation; and the entire business
intelligence of the State, when the reasoning and
philosophy of biß irresistible arguments are pro
perly understood, will do the same thing. The
trug. policy and the great commercial interests of
Pennsylvania will be fully known and appreciated,
The adjournment resolutions were called up to.
day, and after several attempts to amend, it was
finally agreed by the House to adjourn on the 15th
of April. To this, of course, the Senatels concur
rence is asked; whether it will be granted is a
matter of some doubt. There will, at least, be no
action taken upon the resolution for several weeks
yet. The Senators desire to know how much
work is to be done, before they fix upon any spe
cial day for adjournment. The “ knowing ones”
assert that the Legislature will not adjourn before
the 22d, and 1 incline to that opinion myself.—
However loudly some of the members may ex
press their desire for an early adjournment, there
are too many private bills yet on the file to be at
tended to, if possible, before the majority will
agree to it.
Mr. Pemman offered the following resolutions.
Raolvti, Time me Secretary of me Common
wealth be requested to employ a printer to exe
cute any portion of the printing which may be
ordered by the House, as provided by the 9th sec.
tion of the Act of March 24, 1843.
Raolvti, That the Clerk of the House furnish
the Secretary of the Commonwealth the manu
script of all,bills,ordered to be printed, when the
contractor is two days behind.
On motion of Mr. Bigham.the resolutions were
referred to a Select Committee of three, with in
structions to investigate the subject and report
thereon. Messrs. Bigham, Bonham and Roberts
compose the committee.
The bill to “graduate lands on which money
is due and unpaid, to the Commonwealth,” passed
through a Committee of the Whole, and was then,,
on motion, made the special order of the day for
Monday next.
The bill to extend the time for the completion
of the Hamburg and Allentown Railroad, was
next taken up and passed,
When this, bill was up some time since on sec*
ond reading, there was a warm and animated de.
bate upon it. To day it passed without debate—
Mr. Dobbins, of Schuylkill, being the only mem
ber who spoke in regard to it.
I observe that the North, with great unanimi
ty, have fixed upon the Hon. Luther Kidder, of
Wilkesbarre, as their candidate for the Supreme
Judgeship A slight acquaintance with Judge
Kidder impressed me very favorably, and his
many friends here are zealously pressing his claims
From present appearances he can scarcely fail to
secure the nomination. If so, he will make a.
popular candidate, as his well known talents will
secure for him the confidence, not only of his
party, but of the people at large. SPRIG.
Is this a romsneo, or is it a “ troth, stranger than
fiction >” A New York correspondent of the Now
Orleans Bulletin relates it:
“At a chance visit on New Year’s day, I became
acquainted with a bit of romantic truth illustralivoof
tho ups and downs or life. In Bleccker street, in
the midst of considerable poverty, is now living
one of the lovo victims of Aaron Burr, who
resides with hur mother. At the lime Burr be
came acquainted with the former, tho mother was
living in groat splendor with her.husband, who wss
an extensive merchant. The daughter had been fas
tidiously educated and delicately nurturod; no pains
or expenses had been spared in hor educatiou. She
became infatuated with Burr, and lived with him as
his mistress. This step broke her father’s heart; ho
ueglectod his business, and in a year or two died,
loaning his widow a bare competency. The won
derful fascinations and seductive eloquence of her
daughter’s seducer won cyen hor; and she accepted
his Invitation to become one ortho family. Sho en
trusted to Burr tho remnant of her property. At
the latter’s death it came out that tho - competency
was wrecked; and (or years mother and daughter—
ezcellontly connected, and with blood rclationsroll
mg in wealth—having struggled on as a seamstress
for a living. The daughter yet preserves the name
of Mrs. Burr; ood la evidently the wreck oT a fine
woman. On those circumstances being discussed in
quite a crowdod parlor where I was, a subscription
was proposed on tho spur of the occasion by one
of the ladles, and a purse or one hundred dollars
raised Tor a new year’s' present to mother and
daughter.’’
SzcnXTABV ConwtS AND' HosiEn’s But..—Of
course it is only the Secretary of tho Treasury, Mr.
Corwin who is finally to determine tho operation of
Mr. Hunter’s new appraisement bill, as to tho import
charges, until the subject shall bo brought again to
the Supreme Court perhaps. Though the head of
tho Committee of Ways and Moans in Congress, Hon.
T. ft. Bayly, sayß it dooa not contemplate adding
Jraghlia the other charges on imported articles,
yet, on the other hand, we find the following in the
Poltsville Journal ,of Saturday:
“ Hon. C. W. Pitman, our Representative, who
has Just returned from Washington, gives us the fol
lowing explanation. Tho construction that will bo
put upon the bill by tho Secretary of tho Treasury,
will embrace all coats and charges, including freight,
except insurance. If these costs amount to 96 on
iron, tho additional protection at 30 per cent, will
be 91 80 per ton. On coal, the cost and charges
being about equal to the value of coal abroad, the
present duty will ho nearly doubled. Mr. P. states
that this is tho version given the bill by Secretary
Corwin himself.”
Chesapeake abb Ohio Cabal. —The Cumber
land Civilian says that tho water was let into the
canal atthatplace on Wednesday night last, at.ten
o’clocdt. Tho levels were being rspidly filled, and
it is expected that boats will be able to leave for any
point along tho line on Tuesday next. In the mean
time, says the Civilian, preparations • are being
made to load with coal, end there is every prospect
of the immediate commencement of a lively spring
business.

We may add that should a paper occupying the
position of the Union, undertake to advocate the
claims of any particular aspirant for the Presi*
dency,it will only do. mischief to the Democrat*
ic party. A Democratic journal at Washington
should be national in its tone, and altogether free
from individual influence, political cliques and
sectional factions- It should know no candidate
for the Presidency*'but the nominee of the Na«
tional Convention.
Would it nol be well for the .Editor of the
N. Y. Pathfinder to placo-tho name of Wheeling on
fata map, and givp an outline of an important rail*
road that is making its way to the great West?
The above is unquestionably ** the richest joke of
the season I” Wheeling! Why, Doctor, do yon
suppose that the name ofevery little country village
can be set forth upon maps ? Wheeling! Pshaw!!

From the Eighth Animal Report of the:Presi
dent of this Railroad Company, we learn that the
total amount of earnings by transportation, the
past year, was $300,943 40, and the expenses in
performing services were sl4s,sB3l9—being
nearly 47 per cent, on tbe earnings.
The number of passengers transported daring
tbe year was 64,986, ond'tbe revenue therefrom
$87,465 90—beiog an increase in passengers over
1849 of 12,092, and of revenue $9,469 37. The
revenue from transportation Tor 1850 exceeds that
of 1849 by $52,164 53. Among the items of
transportation are 334,176 bushels of wheat,
153,581 of corn, 854,333 pounds of bacon and
pork in bulk, 93,949 live bogs, and 24,534,357
pounds of outward merchandize.
The number of miles run by trains was 195,*
524, at a cost of about 74 cents per mile.; Only
two accidents on the road, resulting m injury to
passengers, have occurred dunog the year; in one
case a lady was killed and the arm of a child
broken, and iq the othfer a lady was slightly in
jured.
Tbe Indianapolis and Belfontaine road will be
finished to Anderson in May next, and to Muncie
town next fall, which will add largely to tbe bu*
fitness of this road.
This road is under the efficient and successful
management of Mr. Brough, its President, and is
annually increasing in importance and value, and
and the Report concludes by saying: “ Whatever
lines may Re constructed, this must be one of the
greatest thoroughfares of the State, and* in the
race of competition, must continue to enjoy, even
if limited to the rapidly increasing' trade :in its
own Wcioage. and immediate a busi
ness fully equal to its capacity.”— Cin. Oaz.

feus Sor«s, over theface and body; and for two years,
and a half I tried every, means That could be suggested •
by my ftiinds. I also had the advice of six or.seven.of
the best physicians ia the country, without effecting a
care, aha I altnoalwished the little saflerer dead, that it,
might be freed Irom Its pains. Daring the last .six>
months, the sores were so distrfcsriug and painful, my
self ana wife were up with it night and day, for weeks
together, and we had given-up all hope of ever miring
our little one. At length,a friend advised ua to, try.your
Shaker Sarsaparilla. Rejustautly I tried it; amt 1 nay e'

commence using it sooner, as we are satisfied, it would
have saved a great deal of suffering and expense. The
