With feelings of pain and sorrow we are called
upon to record the death of the Hon. William
Biattt, of Butler, as honest a man as ever trod
the footstool of the Almighty. This sad event
occurred, as we learn, on Saturday last, from an
attack of paralysis, at hiß late residence, in the
borough of Bntler.. Mr.BxATTT has been in pub
lic life for many years, and has endeared himself
to the Democracy by bis bold and honest advoca
cy of correct principles. He ha 9 been a member
of onr State Legislature, a Representative in Con
gress, anti • has filled other places of honor and
profit with great credit to himself. At the time
of bia decease he was a prominent candidate for
the office of Canal Commissioner, and, had he
lived, would doubtless have received the nomina
tion. But Death has cut him down in the midst
of his career of usefnlness.

We learn from the Philadelphia Ledger (hat the,
construction of this great work is progressing rapid
ly, The contractors on (he western division of the
road have published a handbill to laborers, offering
employment, at (me dollar por day, to five thousand
more laborers. The work from Johnstown to Pitts
burgh passes through a delightful sad healthy coun
try; that portion of the line, apart from other ad
vantages, is peaceablo and quiet, and wo trust that
these gentlemen will encounter no difficulty in pro
curing all the workmen they msy need.

of the Philadelphia Spirit of the Tima, a acurntlona

the JSfafeiraoa took tho place of the Times, and
although it made extravagant professions ofdeceucy
and democracy at its commencement, wq regret to
observe that it is now rapidly falling into tho same
bad habit* which haitoned the death of Ha predeces

prepared to record its death also. Such a paper can
never prosper In an intelligent community.

Five hundred'thousand dollars of this issue is to
be devoted to the enterprise of avoiding the iuclined j
planes on. the. Allegheny. Portage Railroad—four I
hundred thousand to the North Branch Canal, and
one hundred thousand to the Columbia Railroad, for ]
improving and strengthening the same. This is re% j
garded as an escentivo achcme, and of conrae tho
Whig Senate supported and carried it. What the
House will do is uncortato; but it ia highly proba
ble that they will non.concur. <<Thie will Ihrow.lhe
bill into the bauds of a- committee of conference,
and then it must be arranged by a comprotniso, or
finally fall. There is some appearance of difficulty
ahead.
The appropriation of forty thousand dollars to tho I
company and contractors of the West Philadelphia I
Railroad, oonuary to tho eipectation: and desire of I
many—probably a majority—of the raembora of the I
House, haa been confirmed by the Senate. The I
House struck out three sections of the bill relativo I
to the distribution of lb is money, alter passing the
section which made tho appropriation, and after
wards intended to go into committee of tho whole
for the purpose of striking out this section, nod a
motion was made for this purpose; but the previous
question, which waa moved for fear that too much
noo would be consumed iu discusaiuiug committee,
cut off this motion to go into committee, snd .the'
Senate waa expected to strike out. thia section; rela

body has reinstated the sections s trick onoui by the
House,, and confirmed tho whole.fl?iller. It ia,
however, deemed to,bo a mallet ijf jufrtico in every
particular,and the only object that has induced any
one to alriko out this appropriation, ia to gain some
thing for the State to point of time. Tho action of
the House, since the passage of the Appropriation
Bill, has been mostly confined to Senate amend
ments, and some unimportant bills upon second and
third reading. Aa ever, FRANKLIN.

Fifty Dollar Gold Pieces.
Tho New York Jffraid gives the following des
cription of a very beautiful fifty dollar gold piece
which came in the Empire City, from the house of
Adams & Co., San Francisco:
It is not exactly circular, but an octagon, having
on each aide of the edge the following sentence:
“Augustus Humbert, United Stales Aaaayer of Gold,
California, 1851.“ I( contains the figure ol a spread
eagle with a scroll in his talons, on which is inscribed
Eureka.” Undefheaih are the figures and initial
“60d.,”0f coarse meaning 989. And over]-the
eagle are the following figures and abbreviation ot
the word Ihonßand, as follows: “ 887 carats out of
1,000 pure gold. Its diameter is not groater then
that of a ailver. dollar piece, but it is thicker. —
Justus we are writing this description, Mr. A. Van
Valkenbnrgh, of 187 Pearl street, brought ua another
coin of exactly tho eSthe description. Tho United-
Stales Government are content with gold pieces of
$2O value. The new State whose motto- is
“Eureka,” must have 950 pieces. Go ahead-Cali

SPIRITtXAX. HABirKSTiTIONB.
nomena. To recount all that has taken place in
my presence, and under my observation, would
furnish matter lor many pages of your journal; I
am, therefore, obliged to state the facts and con-
clusions in a general manner.
I, with my family, relatives and friends, (who
are in the habit ot daily visiting my house,) have
become so familiar with those manifestations of
spiritual presence, that they no longer excite our
wonder. Those spiritual friends and associates
constantly attend us, and when any thing of im.>
portancfi is about to happen, some one of them
will call for the alphabet and spell it out. In this
way we have been, and are now, kept advised of
i all that vitally concerns our welt being and the
cause of truth. When we wish any instruction
touching any part of spiritual law and life, we
have recourse to our ever-present monitors, who,
if it is right and proper that we should know it,
will impart the instruction; and in many cases
the deitre baa been anticipated, and the information
given ere the request was made. We have in this
way, and do now, receive messages from them
i covering two sides of a letter sheet.
I It is not true that they tell us nothing of import
ance. Their communications are of the purest
and most elevated character, breathing naught but
I the most tender regard and the most watchful
I vigilance for our spiritual advancement and well-
I Care. It is very true that they do not tell us how
I to invent some great “labor saving machine,” or
1 point us to some buried treasure or beds of gold,
| or bow to make water burn or fire freeze,by which
| we could make fortunes and lay treasure up in iron
safes, which are “of the earth earthy;” hut aa
they are spiritual agents, anil engaged m the per
formance of spiritual uses, their mission to us and
to mankind is of a vastly different character, viz -
to develops our spiritual nature, to assure us of
their spiritual presence, and to instruct us in the
ways of spiritual life.
For the last three weekß, I have on almost all
occasions of aoy importance relating to the cause
of truth, invoked the spirit of a familiar attendant,
who never fails to assure me of his presence, and
instruct and direct me in the matter. When in
company with the person whose peculiarly elec
trical constitution furnishes the necessary condi«
lions of these phenomena, I have heard and con
versed with him on the street, in my offire, or
wherever else we may be and wish to consult
him- These manifestations are not connected
i with any tocality; they occur at any place where
i the media and the person wishing to communicate
I may be, providing it is proper, and the surround
ing influences favorable.
The economy of spiritual life is regulated, gov
erned and controlled by the laws of association, or
as we term it, spiritual affinities —thus all of a like
quality attract each other and form societies, se
ries, groups, &c.. which are as venous os the stars
of the firmament. The fraternizing or confrater.
nal principle which we see in an imperfect degree
here, regulating and prescribing a man s company,
developes itself there ill a far higher degree; and
aa all men have their associate spirits, who daily
attend and surround them, prompting their tho’ts
and affections, ana tvno are attracted to them by
their character or quality, could their spiritual
vision be but for a moment opened, they would
see instantly what company they kept.. If their
purposes and affections are and have been evil,
they would find themselves surrounded by Satans
and devils, (or “evil spirits,”) in the most horrid
human forms; but if their purposes and affections
have been good, pure and upright, they are in the
midst of more hallowed influences and agents. —
This explains the reason why, when large circles
meet for the purpose of communicating, formed of
various minds, of various qualities, and various
purposes, the answers are contradictory, unsatis
factory and useless—for the antipathies and sym
pathies of these spiritual beings are infinitely more
acute anti susceptible than ours. And here I feel
impressed, for the benefit of a few “ conspirators,"
of whose doings and intentions l have been ad
vised by the spirits themselves, to make the fol
lowing remarks. If you Beek an interview with
the “ medium” with a purpose of deceiving, you
take with you your spiritual associates, who have
a like evil purpose with your own, and, by an im
mutable law of spiritual tiTepypq.wlUJhe deceived.
They with lie'to you'as fast as you'ean asf.tifiai
false questions, and thus the result will be a reflex
of your own evil purposes. “Blessed are the puie
in heart, for they shall eee Godthe converse of
which is, “Cutsed are the corrupt in heart, for
they shall see Satan.”. f
I, with numbers of others, have and do uow oc
casionally witness the disturbances or evil spirits,
oooedf which have ever been introduced but by
some evil purpose or influence. The famous Simon
Ladd is not “alone in bis glory,” but he comes
and brings others with him, who manifest them-:
selves by throwing articles, pounding, scratching,
shuffling, and making all sorts of “ mysterious
noises,” as well as inducing the most awfol and.
frightful dreams. On such occasions tire “good
spirits,” with their soothing and heavenly pre
sence—witlr their harmonizing, tranquitizing and
peaceful influence, Ore repelled, and return only
when the devils ate “cast out.” . ’i
It is nut now, oor has it at ony time been, my
intention to trouble’the public with any theory or
philosophy in explanation of these phenomena, or
discourse npon the religion they teach. But let
the facts be known—no person can be quarrelled
with for them; and I have thought proper on this
occasion only to refer to one or two principles of
spiritualexistenMi, in order to fully explain appa
rent discrepancies in the facta. Hundreds of per-:
sons of the most reliable characters have wit
nessed these phenomena, and though some few of
I them, ! find,.have not the moral courage to speak
I their honest convictions, yet the following conclu
sions can ho irrefragibly established by the testi
jrnony of numbers of our citizens, viz:
| Ist:' 'That these sounds are made, and that they
I are ioad, distinct and unequivocal.
[ 2d. That neither the will nor knowledge of the
i media, nor any of those associated with them,
I have anything to do with the production of the
i sounds.
i 3d. That the sounds display remarkable intelli
gence in spelling out intelligent sentences and
! messages, and answering promptly and correctly .
: audible or mental questions. !
I 4th. That articles of: furniture, books, knives,
i stones, lumps of coal, pieces of brick.'&c., ice., are
’moved or thrown by invisible agencies,
i Those demonstrations of spiritual existence
and presence, are not goSfig to pass away or be
exploded; they will continue through all opposition
['and excitement, attendant upon their advent, and
'Wilt perform:their use to mankind as omnipotent
:ly and infallibly aS any-other Divine instrumen
tality that has ever bean employed. Their firet
great purpose is, us 1 have been informed _by ; thd
.spirits, to assure mankind of their continued
identity and life in a higher and better world, by
[demonstrations addressed, to his .senses, because
the subtle and philosophic mind is nbw so im
: meraed in the physical sciences, not believing any
thing, that cannot be tested by the microscope or
i telescope, the scalpel or crucible, that ii physicnr
demonstration or spiritual existence is rendered
absolutely necessary, to which may be added the
fact that traditionary dogma are now losing their
influence upon the minds of men—the teachings:
of Christ, the great Exemplar of Humanity and a
Manifester of Deity, being misunderstood or mis
applied, or not regarded, by the so called Christian
world.
The history of the world showß that the intro-
Auction of any new truths, into any department of
human knowledge, is always met by opposition
and denunciation. They disturb the quiet and
repose of settled convictions, and again put the
mind upon painful and laborious thought and
inquiry, to say nothing of the indignation, which
men feel upon having their errors pointed out.
Witness the desperate attempts that were made,
by this same spirit, to strangle Phrenology, Mes
merism and Clairvoyance at their births, but they
lived and struggled into beinglike affor/iersciences,
despite the anathema of the scientific, philosophic
and theologic worlds. Truth is immortal and
will live, while error is mortal and must die.-
Whence arises this hostility to that “new light
which cometh into the world’” Whence comes
this “hatred of the light’” this “reviling” and
“spitting npon” it? Does it not arise from the
• - %# » .

./ear of truth, rather than the love of it? from a
supercilUouß pride and haughty .and immovable
bigotry, rather than from an “humble and a con*
trite spirit?” If your religious ' and theological
systems are true, the truth can: do them no harm.
If your scientific and philosophic researches and
conclusions are well foundedj.the truth will not
disturb them. If you are afraid of being con*
victed of an error, by 'the introduction of newly
discovered phenomena, let. me fell you, you loye
youTself and your own errors better than the truth.
This ’is the tiue secret of all bigotry, intolerance
and persecution: for opinion’s sake. This
voice which “cries out” against.every newmessen
ger of truth, which reverberates from Calvary,
echoes from age to age, responds from tongue to
tongue, and mutters now among us, “away with
him,” “away with him,” “crucify him, * crucif y
him!” Theßame voice which eighteen hundred
years ago spoke so loud, still hoarsely whispers its
anathemas in our midst. It matters not that one
whom this same spirit has nailed to the cross, has
told them to “revile not, judge not, condemn not,
they are now ready again to pierce his hands ana
feet and thrust the sword into his side. ine
crown of thorns is woven, the spear barbed, the
l cup is ready, and the jeer, the laugh and the “re.,
viling” resounds in the streets. Christ, the Truth,
th e Savior of the world, (for it is Divine truth that
redeems and saves) is now crucified every day
among us: and from out the clamor and uproar
a “still small voice” is faintly heard, divinely ac*.
centing, “Father forgive them, for they _knovv i aot
what they do.” W. J. COUKINki.

Recording Deed.-- VneUU I nformation*
Recording Deeds promptly a^ er l * ie and transfer I
of property, would saveparlies long and tedious law- I
sails. A writer in the Lancaster loteUigchcer s witb I
a view of showing iho importance of this matter, I
giveathe present law in this Slate in relation to the
subject:
c* a deed should always bo recorded; but a deed
not recorded is still valid, provided the same proper
ly has not not been conveyed to different parties. It |
so, the party having his deed first recorded within |
six months of execution, has the best ciaini to the j
property so conveyed. This is the law in Pcnnsyl- J
vania-rhenco the necessity of recording land titles j
within six months of executing them. But thore are
many more reasons why deeds should be recorded j J
For instance in the destruction of a title by firs or J
otherwise, what a difficulty and expense it occasions
to obtain another title, which, if] the deed had been j
recorded, could all have been saved, with.the excep
tion or two or three dollars for a copy at the Record
er’s office. Another, great reason why deeds should
be recorded is, th3t persons often pretend to own j
property for which they hold no title, and defraud
honest persons by giving judgment. It has happened
heretofore, that persona had titles for propertiea.ajid
on the strength thereof obtained money, for. which
mortgages and judgments were given, the holders
of which thought themselves perfectly safe; yet upon
• a thorough investigation, no title could he found,-
t and the persons who had advanced the money were
defrauded out of the same. Had the tillo been re
corded this could not have happened. AH. bond ti
ties should by all means be recorded; it secures the
purchaser as well as the money leuder, and pre*
* vents fraud.”
The New York Herald , in its money article, speaks
aa follows of the prospects lor the continuance of
remittances of gold from California:
The news from California has not had a very fa
vorable influence upon financial affairs. In fact,
the accounts relative to the production of gold are
far from being satisfactory. The steamorsjust ar*
rived have not brought so much gold aa was anti'
cipated, and the probability is that ihccoming steam
ers from San ,Francisco w<ll bring smaller sums
than is generally expected. We do not hear so
many extravagant Qtories of gold discoveries, as in
the early history of the movoment, and the atten
tion of miners has lately been turned to the working
of the quartz, and washing of sand on the sea shore,
and neariho targer streams. The avc rage product
of gold, per head, hie largely fallen off, and the fact
cannot he disguised. It is our impression that the
receipts ofgnld, at this port, from California, during
the year 1851', will not average more than two mil*
lions of dollars per month. From this time out the
receipts per month must be large to make the above*
named average lor the year.

The Californian’® Farewell.
I’m going to the Dirgins; with Smith, Jones and Higgins,
Where the sanas all in the'gulches are bright with
precious ore• ... ,
[ shall take A pick and shovel—build a log and canvas
And in the gravel grovel, on that bright and golden
Where the MOhes and sand 1 are money, and the rivers
In by the Sacrainento shore.
I’m going there by water, and I .know I hadn’t ought teT,.
Fori sballhe so sea-sick when winds and waters roar; I
I shall feel, when on the Ocean, for thee adeepdevouon.
But I fear the vessel’s motion, will make me think of
.For when the sea makes breaches, one naturally retches,
And would be very glad indeed to be upon the snore.
Heave you sad and lonely, for I know you loye me on*
But I fear you’ll find another ere my expedition’s *
Where the broad red sun is setting, * am going to get a
” wetting, *. *•'*'*'
Bat there’ll be no use in frettittg on the
, shore. •
I love you, and I leave yon, and awhile of joy bereav®
you,--'-
But all willbe serene again wheii I return once more.
O Adelaide! fair Adelaide! indeed, I’m very sad afraid,
. I’U get tobe a skeleton,arid never see you more; 1
For the dining will be scanty in pur little canvtU shanty,
Andlshan’t besogallauty; while scratching fur the
■ ore; ; „ .•
But I’ll get with some hard knocks, a pocket full of rocks,
And then grow fat upon the thought of seeing you once
. .■ more.' - v ;
O fair and lovely creature! angelin form and feature!
I know you love me truly, and willlove me evermore;
But, fair one, of alarm your troubled feelings calm,
l shall not come to harm in the precious land of
But shall get from the hollowsa hundred thousand dot-
To bring you for a settlement from Sacramento’s shore
My spectacles a-straddle, on my nose all like a saddle,
Will guide me to the placers and pocketß of the ore,
And, “by Erebus and Nox,” I’ll get ihrongh all these
That pocket foil of rocks on that Ophir’s golden shore.
Bat never think that same is th e sacrafatTta,
1 only ask a competence on Sacramento I ?shore. ;
Dear Ad., lest you grow thinner, be diligent at dinner,.
Eat ’tis good for love, they say, in books or .an*
cientlore; . ,
And I, in that fair valfey-rl shan’t stand shilly-shally,
But my appetite I’ll rally, as oft Pve done before;
My spectacles on my nose .make all'“coulruro* rose,
And will brighten e’en. the. barren glades on Sacra
. menfo’s shore.
1 say nothing of the few I have given up for you,
TbaUovearaeindespiteof the spectacles I wore;-.
There were Sarah, Mad and Lizzy, andGiony, Jane and
_Sisßy, •. - - '• : -
And toe that sang like Grist, and any number more ,
For you I sacrifice them, however, much l prize them,
Asd with pickax on my shoulder, aeekthe Sacramen
to’s shore.
Then farewell, Adelaidy, the ship is almost ready, ;
Think of all the airs I used to play, as late the evening
wore; ,
When Pm tossing on the billow, and you toss on your
pillow; * . . ,
Still wear for me the willow, till my prignmageis o’er;
Then a lassie fair and bonny, with her true and loving
Johnny,: :
Will stand up at the altar, and—l each say any more.

by my friends- I also bad the advice of six or seven of
the best physicians in the country, without effecting a

might be freed trom Its pains., During the last ait
months, the sores were bo dUtressing and painful,, my
self aha wife were up with it night and day, for weeks
together, and we had given up all. hope of ever raising
our little one. At length,a friend advised u_s to ary your
Shaker Sarsaparilla. Reluctantly I tfied'lt, and I have
reason to bless God forit, tor, id a ccryskortirme>u heal
ed up the sores, so that there is scarcely even a scar to
be seen. We only regret that we did not hear of and
commence using it sooner, os we are satisfied it would
have saved a great deal of suffenng and expense. The
child Is now well and hearty. We do anbesimtingly
