TAI OSXINEAL INHERITANCES.
While the Whig preases have beendaily abus
ing Col. Bigler for . having-supported a bill
- taxing lineal inheritances, it would hardly be sup
: . < posed- by the honest and candid reader that Qov.
Johnston had himself not only voted for bnt
recommended this identical measure 1 -- .Vet such,
is the fact, with only this difference, that while
, Col. BiGLEßvotedforabillof this character, inor
- ■" - der to add something to the Sinking Fund, and
, ; with a view to the early extinguishment of the
public debt, Gov; Johnston, when; he sustained
Bach a bill, did so without any reference Jo a
.. . . provision of this kind.’ He, voted to: have the
. . • money go into the Treasury in the same manner
as other taxes. While Wsi. F. Johnston was
a member of the House of Representatives of
, , this State, in 1841, he voted .for such a bill, os
- may be seen by reference to the journals, and
no farther back than the Ist of January, 1850,
he recommended such a measuro as Governor of
: -the State. In his message of that date, he colls
. the especial attention of the Legislature to-tbe
system of Common Schools, and invites; them to
: .bestow particular attention upon the repo:
:" -' 1 the Superintendent, yet to be submitted. ..
report, which was submitted seven days a
words, contains this sentence“ It a .re-,
mended toraiie the amount ($1,250,000) by a: .
~OS motal inheritances.” This recommer
. - , tion’the Superintendent sustains by several j
sons which he deems, sufficient; .apd, especi -.
by placing this proposition in jnxtapositioL
thelaw taxing eoZiuterat inheritances, which he j -
nounces partial and unjust! - 1 j ,‘
- Such has been the course of Gov. Johnsto;
~ relation to this proposition; -and that of
- . - friendsincondemning CoL’ Bigler is well knot- ■
.. .. . . Now we ask, in all candor,’is not Johnston hi
self fairly liable for this attack upon his opt -
nent; and if he is, what language would expr
- the odium that should be attached to his nan .•>.
His brother edits the paper in which Col. B .
- ■- ler’s name was introduced m connection w',
' : this bill; and he could scarcely have keen igt
Vant of-the/acts jn relation to both the can;
dates, any more than-Gor." Johnston -could "be
- . : ignorant of the attacks -which, his brother was
‘ ‘ " .making upon his rival. If, then; the Whig can
didate for G,overnor knew of the charges made'
. against CoL Bigler, and did-not . attempt to
place matters in their true light, there are no
terms too strong,- designating meanness and piti
‘ - - fal low cunning, with a view to deceive the peo
ple, that may not properly be applied to his con"
.duoL ; .
Gov. Johnston boasts -so much about
“my measure,” the Sinking - Fund, ■ that we
should like to : know of him how much benefit,
the State is deriving from the $067,917 wkioh
.... were swallowed up by Thaddeus Stevens’
worm, for Vfhich he voted—known as the Getty s
burgh railroad,? How much ihcoineis tho State
receiving from it? or, rather, is. not the State,
paying interest on every dollar of this Urgg
sum, which is totally lost to the people’ Gov. '
Johnston and his friends that this ia so -
und this may account for some of. tho hypocrisy
rthat.they in and their
newspaper attacks on the Democrats.

- that some Tobacco, from Cuban, seed, sown at

The Baltimore jiwcrfcd»,'too,:pne.pf £he most
able and unquestionable-Whigirpapera of the
the Union, in the condition at parties
in the country, the following strong but
juBtlaaguage:~* •* i
... In , Pennsylvania W- see'that the , men who
nominated Johnston for governor refuse to pass
a resolution recognizing the obligations of the
Constitution in a matter, which : Southern men
are bound to one of consid
eration and yet these ’men of Pennsylvania
making such a nomination, under circum
stances, call themselves Whigs, and seem; to ex
pect that fhfe Whigs of this section will allow
this claim,, and fraternize politically with them.
We beg lo assure them, if they have not learned
the fact before, that they are suffering under a
profound mistake. They may call themselves by
what name they may prefer—but they must play
their own game, such as it is, with such induce
ments and reasons as they may find for them
selves ; and if they arc willing to be disgraced,
so be it; butlci them not attempt to bnngothers
into a participation with their shame Once for
all, let us be understood that we will have no
traitors for allies; and if those north of us, who
call themselves AYhigs, cannot recognize and
adopt the first principles of Vfhig'conversation,
which is comprehended in honest and true devo
tion to the*Constitution, then the «ooner an
understanding is had the-better for all sides.
The Boston Journal,'too, that is no mean Whig
authority, thus speaks of a part of the proceed
ings of the. late Whig State Convention of Penn
sylvania, which we think is one 1 of the hardest
hits that Wni. !\ Johnston has received, from auy
of bis political friends:—
“Our opinion is, that the amendment offered
by Mr. Scott expresses the determination of
mne-teuths of’th'e whigs of Pennsylvania, but
that the true reason for rejecting it was the
same timid and somewhat crooked policy which
has come near breaking down the whig party in
our State: which did indeed throw it into the
hands of the coalition last year—a fear of offend
ing a few Tree soitish whigs, and a hope of catch
ing a few abolitionists—n poor, weak and weak
emngpolicy. Thosewho oppose the faithful ex
ecution orT.be Fugitive Blave“Taw r do'so with
their eyes open to the consequences. If their
oppositions successful ;* if, by their action, the
law is repealed, or rendered nugatory, in spite
of southern wishes ahd southern-‘opposition,
then, comes a dissolution of the Union as surely as
night follows day.”
The time has Airo-when the party now called
Whig was high-minded and honorable; and de
voted to those plain and honest (though erring)
principles which distinguished diem throughout
the country; and in sustaining which they glo
ried; But now the name of Whig is tantamount
to that of political bucc&nfer. They have no
principles; no common object- around which to
rally;-and therefore it is no wonder that the
really honest and honorable among . them are
stung With deep mortification at their party dis
grace. . ..

[CORRESPONDENCE OF THE I>AILX-.3IOUNE,G POST.]
x Kiniiston, R. 1., Aug. 23, 1851.
■ Mr. Editor :—Though Iliave visited tho Eas
tern cities not unfiequently, it has never been
my lot to pass through Central Pennsylvania till
A'fiSW days sinec. - - ‘
--■Thera-is notTnnchofinterest to be* expected
from a journey <by canal. Romance and a river,
or a lake, have some' affinity,' but who would
cver-think of associating ideas of thedieautifiil,
;qrromantic, with a canal packets ~/Thc /majes
tic sweep of a river, and the sounding swell of
a sen, arc allied "fo the sublime; but sluggish
waters, restingiin.a channel dug with mattock
and .Spade, are suggestive only ‘JI tlio practical,
anil exercise a somnolent power over the fancy.
Yet, the traveler from Pittsburgh to Johnstown,
by canal packet, will, if ho lias an observant eye,
atfd a mmd at all appreciative of the sublime,
i ifindmnch to gratify his taste. . .
IVhUc some of the views have a quiet and pleas
ing beauty, a-grenter number present a wild and
rugged aspect.'- .The route .is often/under the
baBC ot ahill, which raising its head, aloft, not
bared,'hut clothed with the dark foliage of its
forests, seems to frown defiance at the sky, while
it Bpeaks contempt lor puny .mortals who pass
far below; at the base. r Sometimes you are quite
at a loss to know how a way can be found through
the mountains, wluch seem, ,nt but a short dis
tance, toTiedge up every path with an impregna
ble barrier'; hut'though, the hills rise-• side by
side,-there is a.nnrrow valley, .sufficient for the
alcnder lino of water; and, as you approach, it
comes open before you. At these angles, you
often have an imposing view of.thc broad side of
the mountains, as they abruptly start from your
feet up to the very sky. "There they stand, and
there they hare stood for ages; generation after
join ration ot men have passed away, but they
remain hrm and unmoved by the lapse of time.
Have they any knowledge of the scenes enacted
around, and among them, any sympathy with
man’s hopes and fears, sorrows and joys? They
really «eem, at times, ginnt sentinel', ol our way,
ind have ■» look as of intelligence. Do they
whispei to each other in the winds, and talk to
each other in the thunder? No wonder the an
cients, (.and savage nations of our own day,)
feared the spirits of the mountains, and attribu
ted to these giant forms a kind of intelligence,
through certain ihvisiblc power-, which made
them their favorite-abode.
But lam being ted from my purpose. 1 only
remark that the Portage Railroad, with its ten
inclined planes, passes through a region where
Nature presents herself only in rugged and sub
lime forms.ondt was a real pleature to stand on
the front plattorm, and see the locomotive gal
loping along its “ winding way,” (for the road
wind- up the mountain like a vine or parasitic
plant up an oak,) with a seeming break-neck
haste
I perceive that time wiH not permit me to say
-mght of the “ Mountain House/* recently erect
ed jls a rural resort, near Hollidaysburgh ; nor
of the road to Harrisburg, winch, being in fine
order,is traveled very rapidly,—with greater
«peed than many of the Eastern railroads , nor
of the scenery along the Sn c -quch*imia > near liar*
i lsburg, than which I never beheld any more
pleasing.
Tt ts my desire to lead j ou up to Lcwisbunjb,
a pleasant town In Colon county, which preached
by again resorting to a packet traversing a canal
that winds along the bank of the West branch of
the Susquehanna. To this place I was drawn
by a desire to attend the commencement of (he
at Lcwisburgh," an institution re
cently established under the auspices uf the Bap*
tiat denomination in Pennsylvania.
It was my first visit, and I was much sur
prised by the flourishing state which the youth
tul University presented. It is hut live .or six
i years since the first movement was made towards
its* founding. For two or three years it wits
conducted as a high school, when a University-:
charter was obtained; and regular collegiate
classes-organized, • This was the first “com-i
meucemcnt/’and a class of seven was graduated, i
seven young men who passed their examination i
for the degree A. B, in a-manner that would |
have honored tbe Faculty of any institution, of i
learulng in our lond. More than two (2Ooj hun
dred students have been in attendance daring
tbe year, inHlic different departments. A large
three story building has been erected for the
Academy,and a wing of the main edifice, four
stones high and more'than one hundred feet
long, has been completed. When the other
parts are added, according to the plan adopted
by the Board of Trustees,, this .edifice will pre
sent a magnificent: appearance, having a trout
of more than threo hundred feet, and with an
architecture highly chaste and:, appropriate.,
Situated in a beautiful grove, crowning a gen
tle elevation, within a mile ot the village of
Lcwisburgh, it will form the chief object of at
traction in the landscape of that beautiful val
ley, while its cupola will command a panoramic
view of the surrounding region. The scenery
around Lcwisburgh has a peculiar beauty; • and i
if the views continually presented, to ihe eye i
have a formative influence over the mind, I know i
• »f few prospects which 1 would: prefer to have i
!* before the youth of crur State. 1 cau call to ;
' lind scenery more sublime; and views more i
' • leasing, but remember no Bpot where sublimity j
digits so well tempered by beauty. Somewhat i
: l the fore-ground are the flashing waters of the \
usquehanna, beyond, the dark drapery -of the :
. rest: while billa. BtiU beyond, present foliage
; * a brighter hue; and still above, rise mouu
. ins covered with a veil of gauzy cloud. (
/ There is a spirit of enterprise characterizing ]
-.U: Faculty, the Board of Trustees; and the gen- 1
Hi agent of this Institution, which promises the
' jhest results in every department of its inte-!
its. S. W. Taylor, L> L. D., whohas conduct- i
the University to Us present high position as
discipline and literary attainment, has resign
ing post as acting President, in order to.ao- 1
\>t the Presidency of Madison University, N.
rk, and ; Rev. l)r. Malcom, of Philadelphia, ,
11 known as former President of Georgetown
lege, Kentucky, has been elected President,
l will enter on his duties at the beginning ol
■ > Fall session, abouttbe middle 01. October.—r
.••v'-‘oh-is expected from Dr. Malcom’sexperience
» l well known energy. ‘Rev.- AYm.. Shadrach,
iiiely known at Pittsburgh, still continues
services ns general agent. Upwards of one kun*.
dred thousand dollars (*100,000) have already
been subscribed for-theondowraent of this young
University, and ifisproposed to carry the amount
to one hundred and eighty thousand, dollars;
(*180,000.)| " "
. Every thing about tins Institution . suggested
the idea of thriity, vigorous growth; and we
cannot escape the couviction that it is destmed
to become a distinguished instrument in the tho
rough literary training of the youth of Pcunsyl
• \ania, and to take a high position among the
honored Institutions that have already conferred
such great blessings ou our noble State.
•-But-1 must not omit-one of the most pleasnnt
incidents connected with this visit to Lewisburg,.
an introduction to the> acquaintance ot lion.
James Buchanan, of Lancaster,- one of -the
“ Board of Curators n oi the University. Ho
was present, in his capacity as Curator, iduring
the examination of a number of the classes, and
the exercises of commencement, and byitho in
terest he evinced in the cause of Education, the
dignity of his deportment and the urbanity of bis
manner commanded the respect and esteem of
all present. At a public ‘meeting in reference to
the interests of Education, held on Monday even
ing, previous to commencement, after several
short addresses, Mr. Buohanan was somewhat
unexpectedly called on, but he acquitted himself
very handsomely in a brief speech full of pith.
The writer is in no way mixed-up* with politics,
(the bitterness of whose spirit might easily be
abated without injury to our country’s welfare, )
but he was happy to moot a distinguished citizen
of Pennsylvania on the common andquictground
of literature, and cannot refrain from this pass
ing tribute to his high mental and moral traits.

To the Editou or the Mousing Post:— i
Passing np Webster street, on Friday evening i
l after dark, 1 was very much surprised, badly
scared and severely injured, by instdnllysinking
down to the middle : through the:-rotten hoards
that compose the side walk. Scrambling out as
host I could, and looking around for some
thing to cover the placo through which I had
fallen; but nothing being at baud,, and smarting
from the bruises I received in the fall, I was
compelled to leave the trap for others to fill in
to, and make my way home, not in the best hu
mor, you may he sure. Now, Mr. Editor, as
you.are ninomber of.the Council, will you be
kind enough at its next meeting to request the
Committee on Streets to examino Webster street
between Fullon and Gum streets, —uotforgetting
the narrow pass, a small distance above the
Fountain Inn, with a deep gutter on one side, a
deep stone quarry on tho other, and' -with three
or four loose ongling planks thrown between —
thereby endangering the lives and limbs of all
passers-by.. . ... .
Tho citizens of the Sixth Ward are certainly
very good-natured to suffer the sido-walks to re
main in such a state, aud not complain. The
Street Commissioner, too; of the Second district,
must bo one of the best natured men in the
world'to keep Ins temper so well; as one of tho
places complained of - in. thiß communication iB
uot move than fifty feet from his office.

Tho New: Porter, speaking in reference to
, this matter, holds tho following just, truly repub
lican and patriotic Inngnnge. ■■ We commend it
to the consideration of every reader: .
“ This is not an unfit time, for a word as to
the duty of Republics aud freemen. The Unit
ed States ib now restrained, by old feudal forms,
from tlie just expression and exercise of her
sympathies. Sheds committed to a neutrality
abhorrent to her spirit, hor genius, and duty.
■She sees depotism everywhere banded to put
down freedom. Uprising people are crushed,
expatriated, -annihilated.- - Shfe, is-hound to Bit
an idle spectator ofatrociticsshe oughtto punish.
She reooivoa exiles to -her bosom, when she
might make them freemen on their- own soil.—
It is time for her to break from this trance. To
proclaim at such a time—giving due warning—
she will hold the. laws of nations—which is
only an advantage for despotisms—-and all trea
ties in violation of human right, null and void.
Let her-do this, and in. conjunction with all na
tions aud-people who will join with her, declare
a new rule of action. One that shall hind the
free to combat any and evory assault on free
dom, wherever it may be made.”
■ The Canterbury Shakers.— This singular
community of people, who, for the laßt 60 or 70
yeprs, have occupied, a large and beautiful swell
of land in the eastern part of Canterbury, num
ber at the present time 260 members. For- 1
many years their attention was chiefly directed; i
to ■ the ordinary modes of: farming, hut in later ;
times they, have been mostly engaged in horti- !
culture, the preparation of medicines, and va
rious kinds of-meohamsm.. :In all of.these they
have been successful, and the well- known care
and fidelity with which they, prepare everything
for the market, has enabled them to make ready i
salos when others have failed from exoessive
competition: - They own about 4000 acres of
land, mostly under cultivation, and requiring
some holp in ndddition to the.labors of their ’
own community. The report that thiß society
are designing, ■■ within a few years ,to remove
westward, is unfounded, and probably arose
from the. oircumstonoe of their diminishing their
farming operations, for the purpose of engaging
m the more profitable business of gardening and
mechanism. This, and the Endfield sooiety, are
systematic, and of course thrifty
and money-making communities. Wo believe
neither, of them have of lqte increased in num
bers. They, take little or no interest in the ex
citing topios of the day, and avoid all political
strife by-not attending the polls at either the an
nual or Presidential elections. —Manchester IN.

A letter dated July 2d, says that tho yellow
fever has made its appearanoo at Pernambuco.
The worst cases were in the garrisons and among
the men of war on the station. It - had- also
slightly appeared among tho mercantile shipping.
No case had yet been announced on shore. Col.
Jose de Canos, who distinguished himself m the
war of independence,; died on the 21 st of July.—
■He was-buried on the preceding day, with mili
