We have received a letter from one of the mos
distinguished, talented and thorough-going Demo*
crata in Pennsylvania, in relation to the nomina
tion of a ticket for the Supreme Bench. In the
coarse of the letter our correspondent aaka:—
o Why is it that nobody- has thought of Geoboe
M-DaitasS’ The writer, after speaking in
glowing language of the splendid legal qualifica
tions of Mr. Danas, proposes the following ticket
for the consideration of the Harrisburg Judicial
Convention:
Dallas, of Philadelphia;
Stboho, of Berks;
e Bin, of Chester, or
4 Lewis, of Lancaster ;
CouTuanau, of Luzerne;
LowniK,of Allegheny.
Our correspondent adds; “ I don’t mention these
a* being by any means the only good men in the
State, but they arc. good, and would be elected, as
I think." -
There is no man in Pennsylvania that we would i
rather see upon the Sapreme Bench than Geoboe
M. Danas. He ha 3 qualifications for the station
second to no other man living. Besides possess*
ing one of the best legal minds in the United
States, he is a gentleman of the highest order of
ntellect, of irreproachable character, of indispu
table integrity. We trust that the honest Demo
cratic press of the State will speak out in behalf
of the claims of Mr. Danas.

My Dear Post: The bill providing for the elec*
ion of Judges of the different Courts in this Com*
monwealth, passed finally this morning in
Senate, and having previously passed the House,
it wiU become a law by the signature of the GoVr
ernor. Contested elections under this law are to
be conducted before the Supreme Court, in cases
where the election was for a Judge of that Court,
and by the Court of Quarter Sessions, with three
Judges on the bench, when the election is for a
District Judge.
A bill for the incorporation of the Anthracite
Bank, at Tamaqua, was called up in the Senate,
and fell by a tie vote; but the vote was afterwards
reconsidered, and will probably pass the Senate.
A large number of private local bills have been
passed in the Senate to-day, but none of them
have any character orimportance above a turn*
pike road company or a fomale academy.
By the way, a bill divorcing John Savery.Esq.,
from his wire,passed the House this morning, and
having previously passed the Senate, it will be*
come a law, and let them loose agaim Both par*
ties were applicants for this bill of divorcement*
no opposition was made to its passage, and no]
difficulty attended it. How pleasant it is for man i
and wife to agree!
The House has been engaged nearly all day
discussing the provisions of the Appropriation
bill giving counsel fees to James Fox and R. D.
McAlister. Esqs., in certain cases where the Com*
inonwealth has, aa is alleged, received extraordi*
nary services at the hands of these gentlemen.—
Mr. Fox, it appears, will be ruled out of Ins claim |
by the extraordinary conduct of the member from
Dauphin, who was also concerned as counsel in
one of these cases j and it is thought, and said
openly, that he there engendered a feeling against
Mr Fox, a brother member of the Dauphin Bar,
and belonging to the same party in politics, which
he has carried into his seat in the Legislature, and
indulged against the claim.
The closing argument which Mr. Fox made in
this case was characterized in the discussion to
day, by Mr. Kiilmger, as one of the moßt eloquent |
and powerful efforts ever heard in Dauphin county, |
and to the truth of this statement your humbU
I correspondent can attest, having heard it all.—
This speech was thought at the lime to have se*
cured the conviction of Joseph Meliken, for burn*
ing the Clark's Ferry Bridge, belonging to the
I State.
x Mr McAlister, who was engaged in this prose* I
■cation with Mr. Fox, is to be allowed §2OO for 1
: bis services id this case, and m the other, to wit.l
1 the Com w. MCook, for an attempt to bribe a!
I member of the Legislature. It would appear that I
if fees were allowed to one of these gentlemeo, J
I the other should receive them. And if it be true 1
that Mr. Kunkel, through any personal feeling, |
has been impelled to defeat the one and favor the!
other, it will certainly furnish evidence that there I
might have been no injustice in the charge made |
I against him some days ago, relative to his person-1
al interest and feeling at counsel m the Legislature j
for the Central Railroad. This charge was brought
against him m the House on account of his oppo-
I sition to the appropriation for the completion of j
j the Western Reservoir and alleging: that the ca-1
nals would probably soon be abandoned on ac* i
I count of the effect of the Railroad on Us banks;
and certainly if this personal feeling agoiiut a
brother at the Bar could he the cause ot his course
In the one case, the feeling charged upon him m
the other may have been brought to bear upon his
conduct as a Legislator. The one u, at least, u
j witness for the other.

tions are making for a largo issue of three cent pieceß
from tho mint at an early dßy. By authority Irom
the Treasury Department a great part of the sil-
ver bullion fund will bo converted into these pieces,
and after receiving a sufficient supply for the various
Government offices, the balance will bo exchanged
for deposits of foreign silver coin or bullioo, and
also for American gold or stiver coins . A fund is
likewise provided for procuring future aupplics of
silver bullion for this coinage, so that all the public
demands may be promptly satisfied. To prevent
undue accumulations of these coins in single hands,
a discrimination is allowed to declino selling more
than $l5O worth ala lime to one applicant. The
least amount to be. sold is $3O. Authority is also
given to deliver the coins in distant cities at the coat
or the mint for transportation, ao is now the case m

of wheat. That it will require 8;918,730 bushels

CORSETS.
When I was over in-jour town,
A week ago, or more,.
A saw a very.sinß’laruung’,
1 never saw before., „
’Twos Banging in a window caw,
Upon a siring a-stmddle—- _
Looked something like an hour glass,
And something like.a saddle.
I asked of several city “gento,”
• Who chanced lobe at band,
Ck Whai was it?” but their gibberish
I could not understand. - •
One fellow called u “airesiraint,
On certain parties placed, - .
Like a decree.m. chancery, .
To stayrbe tenahtsPwaste!” .
Another—lust the queerest.chap
Of any in the swarm—
Said, “ Mwarm the glass of fashion, but
It was the mould of form/’ .
Another said, “ ’(was a maciune
A lady used to rig her, . . .
To bring her life and form into
Tho very smallest figure.”
At last* a little girl came out,
of my amaze!—
She asked me “if i wouldn’t please
To buy u pair of stays ?” •
Of course I’d heard of “stays” before,
But strike me deaf and dumb,
If e’er 1, until that hour,
Suspected “them was am.”
Well, isn’t U exceeding strange,
That any maid or wife.
Just for a “little taper,” should.
Put out the “lamp of. life 2”
I know that lunatics must have
Straight-jackets put about ’em,
Bat women in their wits should make
A shift to do— without ’em!
Pretty Thoughts,
Wnxr is Chime? A wretched vagabond, travel*
mg from place to place in a fruitless endeavor to os*
cape from justice, who is constantly engaged in hot
pursuit. A foe to virtue and happiness; though at
times the companion of poonnnocence, which is too
often made to suffer for tho guilty*; ;
Wbat ib Thought? A fountain from which
flows all good and evil intentions; a mental fluid,
electrical in force and rapidity of its movements,
silently flowing unseon within its own secret av
onaes; yet it is the, controlling power of all am*
mated matter, and thochiof mainspring of all our
actions.
What is Haffihe&s ? A butterfly that roves from
flower to flower, in the vast garden of existence,and
which la eagerly pursued by the multitude, in vain
hope of obtaining the prize; yet it continually eludes
their grasp.
WhatisFobture? A sparkling, beverage who
often rejects those who are most anxious: to soli
cit her favors ; whilst others, more unworthy, are
the recipients of her bounties without their solicits*
non.
What is Fabhiob? A beautiful envelope for
morality, presenting a glittering and polished ex*
tenor, the appearance of which givos no certain
indication of the real value of what is contained
therein*
What is Wirt A sparkling beverage that is
highly exhilarating and agreeable, when psrtatfcn at
the expense of others;' but when used at our own
coat, it becomes bitter and unpleasant.
Whit is Kkowledqe 1 A key that unravels al
mysteries, which anlocke the entrance and discov
ers new, unsoen, and untrodden paths in the
hitherto unexplored fields of scicqco ond liter*
What is CoNTEtmrENTf Tho philosophy of
life, and tho principal ingredient in the cup of
happiness a commodity that is undervalued in
consequence of the very low pneo it can be obtain
ed tor.
What is Justice > A pair of seal es in which the
actions of mankind are often weighed ; the trne
weights being brought up by power and wealth
whilst others that are innocent aro substituted.
What is Aubition ? A fierce unconquerable
steed, that bears its ruler on in tho high road of pre
ferment ; but it oftentimes throws him such a fall I
that he rarely ever recovers.
What xs Idlebess! A public mint, whoro va
rious kinds ot mischief is coined and extensively
circulated among the most despicable of the human

by myfri-mds. I also had the’ advice of six or seven of
the best physicians in .the country, without effecting a
cure, and I almost wished the little sufferer dead, that it
might be freed trom its pains. During the mat six
months,the sores were bo distressing ana painful, my*
self and wife were up with it night and day, for weeks
together, and we had gfom up all ftope of ever rdising
our little one; At length,a friend-advisedns to VS your
Shaker Sarsaparilla. Reluctantly. I tried it, and, * have
reason to bless God for it, for. in awy short nmtritheal*
