The meeting being called to order by Gen. | Wm. S Calohan —on motion, John Johnson, I Esq., of North Strabane, was ohosen President, assisted by Andrew Miller, Esq., and Henry I Morninger, Esq., as Vice Presidents. James | Ralston and R. Letherman, Secretaries. On motion, a committee of three was appoint ed to draft resolutions relative to the sense of this meeting. Messrs. Wm. McDaniel, Gen. I Wm. S. Calohan and Craig Ritchie were appoint ed said committee. I The committe having retired, the meeting was I addressed by Hermon Haines, Esq., of North Strabane, and Henry Morninger, Esq., of Char- I tiers, in a very forcible and pointed manner, whioh frequently drew forth the hearty applause of the meeting. The oommittee, through its ohairman, Wm. MoDaniel, Esq., reported the following resolu tions : 169,806 98 61,600 90 $8,206 08 Whebeab, a bill passed the legislature of Pennsylvania at its last session, submitting to tho qualified voters of Washington county at the ensuing eleotion, to decide bf ballot, whether or not the County Commissioners ahaU subscribe on its behalf, the sum of two hundred thousand dofiars to the Hempfield Railroad: and where as, we believe it would be a precedent danger ous to the interests of the county, we therefore deem it our duty to set forth the reasons which induoe ns to oppose the contemplated subscrip tion. We wißh it to be distinctly understood, that we do not oppose the Hempfield Railroad, we hope the road may be built, and that it may prove a profitable investment to the stockholders that tbe most sanguine anticipations of its ad vocates may be more than realized, but we enter our protest against involving the county, for the following reasons: Ist. Because the principle is WTong to tax counties or communities for the benefit of pri vate corporations, where it will be no benefit to 1 many persons on whom such taxation may fall- ,$12,200,000 . 11,700,000 $600,000 2nd. It would be setting a dangerous prece dent, and no valid reasons could be urged againßt any project that might be started, claiming the assistance of the county, on account of tho bene fits which may result to. the community. Already, a company is chartered to oonstmot a Railroad from Pittsburgh to Steubenville run ning through a portion of the county north. Can we with any propriety authorize a subscription to the Hempfleld Road, and refuse one to the Pittsburgh and Steubenville Road? There are also other projects in contemplation which in view of a large number of the people of the county, are of great utility, and would benefit very muoh the principal parts of the counties of Washington and Allegheny, and which hold out strong inducements of profitable investments. We allude to the contemplated plankroads leading to Pittsburgh, the great commercial mart of Western Pennsylvania, and which after all must continue to be the great depot of a very large portion of Washington county. Would it not be of equal interest to the people of this county to authorize a liberal subscription to these improvements? We are not opposed to tho Hempfleld Road, we hope it will be finished at an early day, be cause we think it will cause our Pittsburgh friends to awake to their own interest, and aid in the construction of a Railroad up the valley of the Chartiers, to intersect the Hempfleld Road. , .. 3d. That we regard it as a safe and well-es tablished principle, that every improvement that oomes fairly within the scope of individual en terprise needs not, and generally should not re ceive public appropriations, and that the Hemp field Railroad is not a work of such magnitude, but that it may be readily accomplished by in dividnal enterprise, if the advantages and profits of the road are such as claimed by its friends. 4th. That we regard Pittsburgh as the great commercial mart of western Pennsylvania, and the contiguous portions of adjoining states, that it is at least an not of questionable utility for the community to do anything that will either direotly or indirectly, retard the prosperity of Pittsburgh which constitutes both an important home market, and ready communication with the East. ... ~ For the reasons above stated, with man) otb ers that conld be urged with moA force, such as danger of involving the country in inoreosed taxation, we oppose the county subscription to the capital stock of the Hempfleld Railroad, aud we call upon the voters and tax-payers in overy part of tho county, to pause and reflect before they sanction an not which will not only imol.o ub *n u debt for an improvomeut benofittmg but a part of the county by a tax upon all, but also establish a precedent that will lead to taxation in future for similar improvements. On motion- resolved. That a committee of three be appointed to have tickets struck against subscription of stock." Committee, Messrs. Gen W 8. Calohan, Craig Ritchie, and Wm. McClelland, Esqrs. The meeting was addressed in a most able and eloquent manner in behalf of the resolutions by Messrs- Wm. McDaniel, Henry Morningcr, and Gen- Wm.

Let the People Remember, LET THE PEOPLE REMEMBER. LET THE PEOPLE REMEMBER, People. for ■tfte'Alomirt& Pcs‘ Messrs. Editors :~ln your paper of Saturday morning last I find an article re-published from the “ Banner of the Cross,” and, as it appears, at the request of solne “highly respectable and influential members of St. Andrew’s Church. Now there is no man, however, much df a Chris tian he may be, but will sometimes err in judg ment and act accordingly. This idea, it appears to me, will apply with great force to those “in fluential members,” who may feel themselves true Christians besides; for what motive they could have in re-publishing so purely .abusive.an article, I cannot possibly divine. For my own part, I feel hurt; I feel sorry as a member of St. Andrew’s Church, that such an article, so arrogant, so self-sufficient and so un charitable, should have been published at all. But since it has been published, and especially since it has been re-published, l deem it not im pendent to add a short rejoinder. And far be it from me to write this for the sake of notoriety, or to engender a discussion, or to hurt the feel ings of any one. I have no such motives. I think it is due to the cause of truth, justice and religion. The article asseverates without qualification and without exception, that the lately published sermon of the Rev. author is the “ most doughy production ” the writer of the article “ baa met with.’ 1 It does not say it may be so, but it ** so. Now, “who shall decide when doctors msa gree ?” for I entertain a different opinion of its merits as a literary production. Men, too, whom I have met, who are in the habit of examining a subject closely, before judging it, have pronounc ed it very able. So, it will be seen, it may not be the “ most doughy production ” extant. The artiole moreover reckons it synonymous with “Spiritual Knockings and other oddities, (I can not think what those “oddities” are,) “for which the • Iron City,’ ” aye and many other cities, “has been a little remarkable for some time past” Is not this shameful thiisclassing things the most sacred with inventions the moat unho ly ? Even the cheek of the sternest man might blush at it It really does appear to me that the article of “A Western Churchman” contains more internal evidence of having been written under the strong influence of prejudice and tow ering passion than any “ production it has ever been our fortune to meet with.’ The Rev. author of the sermon is charged by the critic as having “a shallow knowledge of mental philosophy,” and as being “ Ignorant ot the teachings and institutions of the Gfanrch, and then impeaches him with base motives.—- Now, whether or not the “highly respectable and influential members" read the article, they were so eager to have repnblished, I do not know ; but most assuredly they cannot read without feeling their pastor’s ability as a scholar ques tioned or his motives as a Christian impugned. Even ir it were as the critic states it what could they gain by having such facto exposed. Ah, there has been too much prejudice ot work I fear, too much haste, too little prudent counting of consequences. Now, whatever “A Western Churchman may think of the sermon he has so severely and, in my opinion, unjustly criticised, l can assure him that he injures the saored cause he seems so de sirous of sustaining by imputing unworthy mo tives to a man be con know but little about and distorting his views of Bubjeeto the most exalted. And besides, were he to inquire more deeply in to what the views of the Rev. author are in re ference to the “doctrine con tended t for” were he to listen for a time attentively to the deep yet luminous disoonrses delivered by him—were he to weigh with care and compare with diligence, expressions of mighty import, he wonld certain ly hear. I very much mistake if*he'wouTd not discover that, like many a one, he had been in “too much haste,” and that his own views were the really “distorted,” and but as the bnd to the full grown tree. He mi,bt also discover that it was no evidence against this or that doctrino that “more infidels and erroristo” appeared than was wont. Does he not know that to conform stnet ly to the practical rales laid down in Scripture is very distasteful to the world, mid that to beliete all or any of its doctrine* is equally so. And wore he mathematically inclined and had power given him to read the hearts of men during a period of chiefly doctrinal preaching, he might be astonished tfffind tSSt if infidelity appeared to have increased ito numbers, so also had the real believers become proportionally numerous, which, according to my •• knowledge of mental philosophy ” is just whiat t would expect. Again 1 express my regret at the cou.."c pur sued by those “ influential members. If men will be dissatisfied in such matters, why this publicity? If after a fuss in the newspapers, dissatisfaction is permitted to die away, and no other result follow, where's the good insuoh pub Lioity ' When a man believes himself only halt right an«l his opponent only half wrong, ho may be said to be in a veryennous situation.

IfOov Johnston, with his wordy professions of perfeot acquiescence in, and support of the compromise, designs notwithstanding, dclibc ratoly to enoourage an agitation for the amend ment (how V) of the fugitive slave law, he is - dangerous plotter: he is bearing the torch to the door of an explosive magazine, and dolibe rately endangering the Union. If the State of Pennsylvania takes such a position of agita tion it will be almost impossible to prevent the disruption of the old, and the formation ol section parties. Every good patriot should ear nestly deprecate such a result. Gov.

Editors. —The following legislative an ccdote was current about twenty or twenty-five years ago. There was a member of the Legisla ture from the city or county of Philadelphia, whose name was Martin. In the same body, was a member from one of the Western counties, I think Allegheny, whose name was Cratt. In debate, on one occasion, Mr. Martin oonoluded a speech in reply to Mr. C. with the following distich: •4 Larger ships venture more, Bui liule Croft should keep near shore.’ Mr C. immediately sprang to his feet, and ex claimed : “ The lordly Eagle cteaveapthe sky, Bui liule Martins only try ” Eve’s Apple Tree. In an interesting volume, entitled Recollec tions of Ceylon, it is asserted that Eve's apple tree, (kadnragha,) is there a common tree. It is of medium size, its leaves nine inches in length by three in width, with twenty nrmore strong fibers branching off from each side of the central one. Its fruits are attached to a stalk of considerable length, and are produced in pairs. The appearance presented by the fruit is said to be very peculiar, having the form of an apple of the common kind, with almost one-third bitten out. It is not edible, and is regardod as a most deadly poison. When pnnotured. it exudes a juice or milk so aetd, that a single drop foiling on the skin immediate ly raises a blister. “ The outside,” soys the au thor, "is of o bright yellowcolor, and the inside a deep crimson, it contains a large quantify of black seeds, like the pip of an apple, imbedded in a quantity of scarlet colored pulp. I have counted fifty eight of these seeds iu a single fruit. When ripe, the fruit bursts and the *..n nutsidfl shrivels uo, but Btill adheres to the stalk for a cousiderable time. — Burlington Courier. __ Converting THE Pope. —About eighty years a«*o a Scotchman went to Rome for tht purpose of converting the Pope. The Scotchman was not content with praying. Ho boldly entered St. Peter s at high mass, and addressed his holiness iu a loud voice by the title of a certain lady who lives not a hundred miles from Babylon. The Pope who at that time, luckily for the Scotch man happened to be a sensible mau (Gonganelh) was advised to Bend him to the galleys, but he remarked that, the galleys were but a sorry place to teach people "good breeding, so he put the honest fanatic into a ship, and sent him homo again to Scotland. —Leigh Hunt* Table Talk.
