Cass is looked upon as a great political crime, and if any. one should for a moment doubt the availa bibty of Sir. Buchanan, or hint that he would v >be a *‘dead woight” upon the party, he is at ■ once **read out of the ranks” and his name , branded with infamy.” • - So far a a the Pittsburgh Post is concerned, a . •more bald-faced falsehood could not have been •- uttered-than the one contained in the above ex tract- An ankind word against Gen. Cass, has - never been permitted to appear in its columns, and all the reasonable demands of his friends . have been cheerfully acceeded to. It will be > ■■■•'* news for ns to find a friend of Gen. Cass that (he Post haß attempted to M read out of the ranks,” because he was in favor of that distin guished statesman. It would surprise us, and, astonish to a great -degrge, all our readers. - - Wo have never attempted to blink the fact that Hr. Cass is not our choice for-the nomination, hut at the same time, we may say, that we have never uttered a word that should give just cause of offence to his fnends, or that would justify f even, such a thing as the Keystone to say that we were hostile to him. We have known him for many years; we have supported him with all the ability we* conJdbring to sustain his cause, and regretted his defeat with a sincere sorrow,—a sorrow which was made doubly poignant by the loss of the noble old Keystone, of the Democra tic Arch, which dropped out when he was last a candidate. • Our choice has been made. It* stands at {he head of our column, and there it will stand until the National Convention approves our choice, or seleots what it may consider a better one to fill its place. With the tights before us, we do not believe that we toll - have to change it From every section of the Union, the favoring eye of the party ia turned to Bucbahah. He is the only man that it is believed the whole Democracy of the Union can unite upon, and the only man whose unswerving principles are well known to the lt is not necessary to oonsult the record to obtain a knowledge of his opinions. They are before the people, and his consistent democracy is well known to every honest man who has noted the political events of our coun < try for the last thirty years. Daring every Struggle for the supremacy of the principles of republicanism, James Buchanan was the cham pion that won the fight, and while acting in a higher sphere, he was the statesman that guided our country through one of the most brilliant and memorable wars recorded on the pages of hißtory. . That he is the favorite, of Pennsylvania, no sane man would attempt to dispute, that he is the favorite of the Onion, will be made mauifest by his nomination, at. the National Convention, and that he is the favorite of the people, will be shown by the record of the votes of the people, at the next Presidential election. Brft, because he stands thus high in the favor of the people, such malignant things as the Key stone are impelled, by their natural baseness, to him, and by using Qen. Cass as a foil, they hope to pull down his greatness. But they Will fail -in their schemes. Wherever they at tempt to sot their feet, the moccasin tracks will be stQl visible after them, and oannot be oblite rated. The democracy of Pennsylvania will not tolerate any effort made by treacherous hangers on to distraot ite harmony, and the sooner these men define their true purpose as clearly as they have-their malignity against Mr. Buchanan, we will be enabled to know who are the real friends and open enemies of the Democratic party in .the next oontest. AIL we desire of them is to act and talk like gentlemen in urging the claims of their favor ites for the nomination. If they prefer another to the one we have designated, let them support him without. falsehood or vituperation against any of his popular competitors, and if he gets the nomination, honestly, we will never grumble, bat support him with all the power that the Post ern bnng to his aid. The New York Evening Post says—that a bill has. been brought into the House of Representa tives/by 3?r. Olds, the object of which is to re* form the present foolish regulationsm regard to the postage on newspapers. The bill is not quite so thorough in some respects as we wish it were, but it is a vast improvement oa the present Bys* tem,-and Dr. Olds, and the committee of which he is chairman, are desemog of credit for their prompt attention to the subject. The bill abolishes the complex tariff on news papers existing in the post officj department,' and substitutes a rate of one cent on all printed matter, whether newspapers or any thing else, weighing over two ounces and a half, and one cent for each additional ounce, or fraction of an ounce. Thiff is fordistances less than two thou sand miles; beyond that distance twice thiß rate ib to be Newspapers sent to regular subscribers from the office of publication, whioh -weigh less than half an ounce, are to be charged * at half these rates. The postage is to be paid la advance, either at the place where the printed matter is mailed, or at the office where it is de livered. The postage on occasional newspapers, &c.. is to-be considered as unpaid, unless it be - psid : in advance, at the place where they are Books not weighing over four pounds may bo sent by mail.

At Rochester, New Brighton, Palestine, Columbi ana, Salem, Alliance, Ravenna, Hudson, &c. &c., immense concourses of people,—the honest tiL lers of the soil, —with brave hearts and strong arms, gathered around the Magyar chief, sym pathised with him in his mission, and contribu ted “ material aid” to liberate the down-trodden of the old world. Many pleasing and thrilling incidents occurred on the way, which we may take ocoasion to notice hereafter when we have more time. At Cleveland the reception of Gov. Kos9uth on Saturday night, was truly a grand affair. The military and the firemen were out 1 m all' their strength, and made an imposing appear ance. The firemen carried torches, and formed in a line on euchside of the carnages contain ing Kossnth and his suite. The procession, under the direction of Gen. Sanford, And head ed by a fine band of music, marched through some of tho pnnoip&l streets, to tho Weddell House, whlob was-bnlliantly illuminated. The O'Reilly Telegraph office os well as the offices of the Platndealer and True Democrat were also illuminated. On Saturday night, about 11 o clock. the Ger man Band and Choir appeared in front of Gov. Kossuth's room at the Weddell House, and gave him a delightful serenade. Oq Monday at 10 o’olook, Gov K. addressed an immense crowd, probably some bOOO souls, from the balcony of the American Hotel. He was welcomed to tho city by the Mayor, Mr. Case and bis speech m reply was a beautiful, eloquent, and patriotic production, and was received with thunders of applauso. In the after noon there was a large meeting m the Melodeon, composed of ladies and gentlemen. When Gov. Kossuth entered, the people arose and gave nine terrific cheers. The men screamed with joy, and the ladies (God bless them) waved their kerchiefs* and graciously smiled upon the illustrious Magyar. To add to the interest of the occasion a large banner was placed near Gov. Kossuth on the stage, on which was painted m large letters* “ NON-INTERVENTION—PEACEABLY,” With a hand poioting to a finely executed paiuting below, representing the American Eagle and British Lion pounced upon the Russian Bear and Austrian Hyena. At the meeting in the Melodeon Gov. Kossuth was addressed by Judge Starkweather, on be half of the citizens of Cleveland ; by Judge Brayton, on behalf of tho citizens of Ravenna; by Judge Bissell, on behalf of the citizens of Painesville: by Rev. Mr. Alvin, on behalf of the Free Church; by Senator Gtilett, on behalf of the Legislature of Ohio, —inviting him to the capitol; by Mr. Kaylish, on behalf of the Ger mans ; by Dr. Aiken on behalf of the clergy, and by M. C. Younglove, Esq., on behalf of the Ladies of Cleveland. To all these addresses Gov. Kossuth replied in the most beautiful and effective manner, and was warmly applauded. In fact, be delivered five speeches in Cleveland, all of which were written out after his arrival in that city ! Extraordina- ry man ! We did not learn before leaving Cleveland yesterday morning the amount of “ material aid” received by Governor Kossuth at that place; bat from our knowledge of tbe liberal and pa triotic people of the Forrest City, we have no doubt bat that it was a handsome sum. He has made a favorable impression amongst the people there, and many who were before lukewarm and indifferent, owing to the dastardly course pur. sued by an Austrian sheet called the Herald , now are the warm friends of Gov Kossuth.

Executive Chamber. 1 Jan. 29, 1852. / To the iSenate of Pennsylvania: Senators : — I herewith return to the Senate, in whioh it originated, the bill entitled, “a sup plement to the act entitled an act authorizing the Governor to incorporate the Hanover Branch Railroad Company, approved March 16, 1847,” without my approval. Tho provision in the first section of this bill, intending to confer authority on said company to issue its bonds or obligations “ in Buoh manner and form as they may deem expedient, for the payment of the money which, by the act incor porating the same, this company is authorized to borrow- fixes no limitation as to the amaont of such "bonds or obligations.” Thiß would authorize the company to issue cer tificates of loan, or other evidences of indebted ness, for any sum whatever, not exceeding the whole amount borrowed, and might thereby, in the abuse of saoh authority, create " obliga tions" for small amounts that would pass from hand to hand by delivery, and would make to some extent a currency. This would be violating the well settled policy of prohibiting . issues. of paper intended for aourrenoy, by any other than institutions specially created for that purpose, as well as the equally just pohoy of prohibiting paper issues intended for a currency, of denom inations less than those now authorized to be issued by our banking institution.

Letter from Sir Buchanan We find the following letter from this distin guished Pennsylvanian in the Missisaippion. It is entitled to a careful consideration as tbe views of one, who, at the present time, is occupying a large share of public attention in all parts of the Union: Wheatland, near Lancaster, ) Wednesday, Dec. 24, 1861. ( Mt Deah Sib :— L am sorty I did not receive your letter sooner. I might have then given it the “old fashioned Democratic” auswer which you desire. But lam compelled to leave home immediately ; and if 1 should not write at the pecseot time, it will be too late for the 6th of January. I must, therefore, be brief. My public life is before the country ; and it is my prule never to have evaded an important poiitioal question. The course of Democracy is always straight ahead, aod public men who de termine to pursue it, never involve themselves m labyrinths, except when they turn to tbe nght or the left from the plain forward path. Madi son's Report and Jefferson's Kentucky Resolu tions are the safest and surest guides to oonduot a Democratic administration of the federal gov ernment it is tbe truo mission of Democracy to resist centralism and the absorption of uncon stitutional powers by the President and Congress. The sovereignty of the States, and a devotion to their reserved rights can alone prusorve and per* petuate our happy systom of government. The exeroise of doubtful and constructive powers on the part of Congress, has produced all the dan gerous and exciting questions that have imperil ed the Union. The federal government, uever confined within its strict constitutional limits, must necessarily acquire more and more influence through thoin oreasod and increasing expenditure of public money ; and hence the greater necessity for pub lio economy and watchful vigilance. Our consti tution, when it proceeded from the hands of its framers, was a simple system ; and the more free from complexity it remains, the more powertul ly, satisfactorily and beneboially will it operate within its legitimate sphere. It is centralization alone which has prevented the French people from establishing a permanent republican government, and entailed upon them so many misfortunes. Had the provinces of France beon converted into separate territorial sovereignties, like our State governments, Pans would then no longer have been France, and a revalution at the capital would not have destroy ed the federative republic. Had the principles I have enumerated been observed by the federal government and by the people of the several States, we should have avoided the alarming questions whioh have aris en out of tbe institution of domestic slavery.— The people of eooh State would then, to employ a homely but expressive phrase, have attended to their owu business and not have interfered in the domesno concerns of their sister States. — Bat on this important subject I have so fully presented my views in the enclosed letter to the great meeting in Philadelphia, held in Nov., 1850. that it would be useless to repeat them, even if time would permit. From your fnend. Very respectfully, JAMES BUCHANAN. Geo. R. Fall, Esq. A queer Way of Settling a Dispute, A San Francisco paper gives the following account of a cool proceeding m thatoity. whioh Illustrates very forcibly life m California. A party of four persons were spending tbe Sunday quietly in playing alt-fours. One of the parties, however, not ooutent with the chanoes of the game, aud determined to oham the fiokle god-kess to his side, established a kind ot telegraph with his partner, by layiug bis hand carelessly on the table after each deal, and extending his fingers, designating very in telligibly the uumber of trumps which he held. The device was ingenious and highly successful for a while, but was unfortunately discovered by one of his opponents, who. ou a repetition of tho offence, very dexterously whipped out a bowie knife- and cut off two hngers. The un fortunate bombre screamed with pain, and hav ing picked up his stumps, rushed from the room. His partner inquired of the amateur surgeon what his reasons were for such couduot, when he quietly replied. **lt was fortunate for vour friend that he had no more trumps, or he cer tainly would have walked ofi with fewer fingers. Cool, that. gugr* A negro on Long Island recently drank a pint of brandy on a wager, while partially m toxio&ted- After remaining stupified for fif teen hours, he revived and drank freely of wa ter. but soon after died.

The extent of Cuba ib 84,233 square miles, and it has 28 inhabitants to each mile, —a uum ber greater than that of Tennessee and Virgin ia, whioh have 24, while South , Carolina and Kentucky have only 22, North Carolina 19, Georgia 16, Alabama and Mississippi 13, Lou isiana and Misßonn 10, Arkansas 4, and Flori da 1.

A table of exports of sugar dur ing every five years since 1786, is given, which shows tho morease to have been 25 per cent, annually, for 68 years. In 1851, there was by no means any falling off. From Havana, Matan zas and Cardenas alone, in the firßt seven months 15,776,104 arrobas were exported, which is near ly 2£ millions more than in any Beven months of the proceeding year.

Copper Ore has been exported in much less quantity. Gqv. Blgler’iFlrit Veto. On Thursday Governor Bigler sent to the Seu oto a veto of a bill supplainentaTy to the act in corporating the Hanover Branch railroad. The mam objeot of the bill was not objectionable, but it Beetns to hove been drawn m a loose and oareless manner, which might have conferred on tho company powers highly objectionable.— No limit appeared . to-have, been fixed to Lho bonds that the company were to issue, and a con struction might b&ve been placed upon it that would have given these bonds « the character of a currency. In looking into this matter and endeavoring by every means in his power, to arrest legisla tion that will prevent improper paper issues, Governor Bigler will render an important ser vice to tbe people of Pennsylvania. He is op posed to Governor Johnston’s scheme of free banking, opposed to the chartering of banks without proper restrictions, and to overy move ment that has a tendency to viciato our curren cy : and m all these matters bis efforts will meet the hearty approval of the people. At various periods in our history the people of Pennsylvania have suffered so intolerably by paper swindles, that they are exceedingly sensi tive on this subject, and it will be highly grati fying to them to know that the new Governor will spare no effort to keep our currency os near the real specie standard as possible. —ffarrutbvry Union , Jan. 31. Defender Of Womtn’i Rights. The Rev. Orville Dewey delivered a lecture in New York city, last week, on “Reform and Progress,” jn which he alluded to the movement in behalf of Woman’s Rights. He said : “ l believe that woman has been deeply wrong ed by many customs of society. It is not only among the Indians and Hottentots that the sacred privileges of womanhood have been grossly outraged. Woman was not born to lose her own identity in the wili of another. I have never felt willing, in performing the marriage ceremony, to use the word obey, in reference to the wife. True, the Apostio Paul Baid, Wives, obey your husbands; but that was in an imper fect state of society; and in the present age of light and refinement, we should not insist on the command of the Apostle. Wedlock is a state of entire reciprocity, and difference of opinion should besettled by mutual forbearance and love, not by arbitrary compulsion. Nor should the earnings of a wife be left in the power of a dissi pated husband to squander upon hiß vices. Let woman receive the benefit of a wise and com plete education, let her pecuniary rights be res pected, although two independent property hold ers in tbe same family may not be convenient; but let her not be taken out of the domestic sphere, to engage in masculine pursuits. Some would wish to see women In our legislative assemblies. But heaven save us from that. The legislature is bad enough already. Introduce woman into that Beene of turmoil And conflict, with ail her delicacy, sensitiveness, and enthu siasm, and you would have a spectacle like that of a house in flames, fed by tho most volatile and inflammable oils. Some would have woman a public teacher, a judicial functionary, and why not a sapt&in or a commodore as well ? but nature has destined her to the sphere of maternity; her peculiar charge is the rearing of children ; and her indoor occupations induce that softness of nature whioh unfits her for the ruder pursuits of pabUo life.” Honesty of Printers. At a Banquet given, in commemoration of the hfirth-day of Benjamin Franklin, by the New York Typographical Society, Mr. Bigelow, edi tor of the Evening Post , made tbe following singular, and, to the craft, gratifying state ment ; He said that he esteemed it an honor, at all times, to appear os the representative of the Press. He esteemed it tho more when he en joyed it by an invitation of the Society of Printers. One reason why be would make that distinction he would state Six or seven years ago he had the honor of being appointed In spector of the State Prisons at Sing-Bing. It lay in tbe line of hts duty to observe the ante cedents and peculiarities of the inmates of that institution. He found there some nine hundred portions, of every nation, of both sexes, of every color, of all ages, except the very young, who were exempt from prison penalty—he found representatives of overy grade of depravity, and every denomination of crime, and representa tives of every imaginable business, art, and calling of life, save one—-and that oalling was the art of printing. There was not in that insti tution during the three years he was connected with it, nor had there beon for a quarter of a century consigned to its marble jawß, a single setter of types. There were carpenters, tailors, masons, shoemakers, accountants, brokers, doc tors, aud yet there was not a printer among them. There were also lawyers there, and he said it with mortification, that one member of that profession was now there, paying the pen alty of a crime for which he had not the poor apology of poverty. And there wsb ulbo there a clergyman: but there was not, and never had been, a printer. There was something m tho foot worth considering. By the toast, a compli ment is paid tae Press as the bulwark of tho representative system. Time would not allow him to speak of it as he could wish. He was forced to conclude by simply proposing, “The memory and honor of that calling whioh is urn* represented m the State Prison.’ An Uncalled for Amei*. A correspondent of the Methodist Protestant relates the following story A very sensitive preacher, m a certain village not more than a hundred miles from Baltimore, was discoursing witn great warmth on tho un certainty of human life. To give the greater effect to his remarks, after assuring his bearerß that they might die before another hour had elapsed, he said: “And I, your speaker, may be dead before another morning dawns. it Avien ,>> was the audible response of a pious aud much beloved brother in the congre g<lThe preacher was evidently disconcerted for a moment. He thought the brother must have misunderstood his meaning. Pausing a while, he repeated the declaration with still greater emphasis : “Before another hour your speaker may be in eternity! , “ Amen f ” shouted the brother before him. It was too much for the sensitive man; and, stammering out a few additional remarks, he sat down before he had finished his dm* course. “Brother - ” said the preacher next day to his kind-hearted friend of tho amen corner, ‘ ‘what did you mean by saying. amen to my re marks lost night ? Did you wish I was dead V “Not at all,” said the good brother, “not ot all. I thought if you should die you would go straight to glory, aud I meant amen to that.!'' B®, Mr. Mallory’s speech, m answer to Com modore Stockton, created some little surprise and amusement. It seems that the commodore believes one way and practises another, like a great many other good Christians. He abhors the praotice of flogging our sailors in the navy, while the log book of his last voyage discloses the striped and scorified dispensation under , the old i Mosaio.law- J-B THE DIOTHEH’S HAHDS.

This is no uncommon occurrence. Dr. Decrees, in his work on the physical and medical treatment of ohil* dren, (a death of three ohildren from the some cause, and remarks that, “that there* is no stom ach—unless it be that of the ostnoh—that can master the skin of the raisin.” I recoiled some time since the death of a child in convul sions, caused by eating bits of bark and shreds of wool whioh it had picked, up m creeping around the room on the carpet.. Dried fruit, bark, cork, or wool from the carpet hr blanket, or any indigestible substances, in small quanti ties, causes much suffering—and in considera ble quantities is almost certain, by obstructing the passage of the bowels, to produce convul sions and death.
