“ AHOTIUSB. ASSAULT OX FREEDOM.’*
Buoh is the alarming ery of the Pittsburgh
QaxtUt on Satarday last
We were frightened os we read it. We thonght
“ the British were coming.” But as wo read on,
10, and behold I it was only an assault on Dr.
M’Clintoct, our democratic Senator at Harris
burg. And it illustrates either theignoranoe or
maiioe of the Gazette ltß editor may take whioh
hom of the dilemma gaits him best; Now for the
facts. ..'V:.■»
Dr. M'Clintook, as chairman of the committoo
on education, has reported to the Senate a bill to
amend and improve the common school law of
our Commonwealth; The Gazette admits that
ninny of the features of the new bill are im
provements on the existing school laws. It has
long been known that some amendments were
necessary. Dr. M’Clintook has taken hold of
the subjeot like a faithful representative, and
has got up a bill that, so far as we have examin
ed it, seems likely to meet with general approba
tion. ■ ■ >
Bat the editor of the Gazette has made a won
derful discovery. He has pointed out and pub
lished, in Saturday’s issue, two sections, 28th
* and 29th, of the new bill, and denounced them
in unmeasured terms, os “another aetault on free
dom." Quite an excitement was created on Sat
urday, among tho readers of the Gazette, by this
startling announcement. Tho two sections read
as follows:
“Thai, If any common school is orahtU hereafter bo en
dowed by bequest or otherwise, tho board of directors or
conirollera of the district ia which such school* may be
situated, are hereby aothorUed to allow said school to re
in ala under the Immediate direction of the .regularly ap
pointed trustee* of the same, and to appropriate no much of
rite-district fund to said school as they may think just and
reasonable. Provtdpd, That such school shall bo open to
the rlfdts of the directors or controllers of tho district, and
conducted ia conformity with the common School system,
•o far as tho tame Is applicable thereto.
M That, when a tree school of the common grade, io nny
district, ehall bo maintained under the care and direction
of auy religious society, U shall be lawful for the directors
or controllers of such district to cause to be paid to the pro
per perron or persona, for the support of such school, any
portion of the sehool funds of the district which they may
deem just and reasonable, not exceeding the rateable share
of the inhabitants whose children, ward* or apprentices
shall be taught in such school. Prondtd, That such di
rectors.or controllers shall be satisfied that such payment
is cot injurious to tho common schools of such district, and
that such free schools shall be opened to tho Tielts of the
directors or controllers, and'couducted .la conformity with
the common school system." '
The editor of the Gazette remarks in regard to
those sections as follows:
“While the astonishment occasioned by the audacious
attempt to repeal the Missouri Compromise still occupies
the public mind, we oro called upon to record another at
tack upon the dtidel of freedom, by Dr. Jonas It STCltn
toek, • Senator to tho State Legislature from this eouuty.
This attack come* in so aocrct and insidious a form that it
has nearly escaped detection. . The assault la upon tho
Common School system, by legalising scctarisn dlrWon
of the funds, ad claimed by Bishop O'Connor and tho Cath
olic Hierarchy generally. Tho obnoxious provisions, grant
- lug this dangerous power, are contained la a new school
bill reported -to the Senate by Dr. M’CHntock, on tho 26th
of Janaary. TFe bare not seen - the bill—the author was
carefal not to settd lt to u*
Now, what will be the astonishment of oar
citizens to learn that these same two sections, so
furiously assailed, are a part of the sohool taw
of our State,—word for word a part of the law,
ob it has existed on onr statute booh for several
years. They are merely re-enacted to mahe the
new bill perfect in itself; and simplify the school
code. This “ aetault on freedom” then tarns oat
to he an old law, that the Gazette has approved
and praised for many yearn
We said it woe, word for word, the old law.
We will bo exact. The two words “or control
lerz" are inserted in the sections in the new bill,
merely for tho purpose of meeting a proposed
alteration in tho management of the public
schools in Pittsburgh.
If any of our readers doubt the correctness of
our statement, let them turn to the pamphlet
containing the school laws, pages sth and 6tb,
sections 20 and 21, and compare them with the
sections published above, and they will be satis
fied that the Gazette has assailed a faithful rep
resentative without a.partiolo of cause; and has
grossly deceived the public. If it was through
ignorance, let him admit it; and admit, at the
same time, that he has done gross injustice.
"We will conclude with two remarks."
If such is the course of the Gazelle on tins
subject, what confidence can bo placed in his
statements and representations in regard to the
Nebraska Bill. » ' *
What careß the Gazette for tho Missouri Com-
promise, except to mako it an excuse'for assail
ing the Democracy;’ as in thiß school case he
assails the Democratic Senator and the Catho
lics.

When such is the state of .the money market
of New York there is seldom a scarcity of money
to complain of in any part of the country. And
it is believed that at no time, in this oountry,
has so full a supply of money for all business
purposes besn so abundant as at the present
time. Yet, from the present aspect of the for
eign demand for breadstuffs, a large amount of
• money must come to this country from Europe.
The receipts from California will also be large,
and by June next the supply of money will be
greatly inoroased.
Should a general war ooonr in Europe, there
is another sourcefrom whioh a lar{s amount of
money will he drawn to this oountry. American
. stocks and securities will, in that event, be in de
mand, doubtless to a largo amount, for Euro
pean capitalists. la the event of such a war,
American securities will be thebest investments
tfiat European capitalists can find.
We arc told by eastern papers that agents of
capitalists of Germany and Holland are now in
the Baited States, inquiring into the condition
and safety of ■ various railroad and municipal
bonds and securities, with a view to investments.
- There are but few of our railroad bonds and se
curities that are not worth far more than Aus
trian, Turkish, or even French government
bonds. The payment of our bonds depends up
on n apolitical contingencies of doubtful result:
whereas the bonds of the Austrian government,
should a revelation ocoar in Hungary or Italy,
would-be wsth but little.
From all these sources then, a supply of
money may be expected, larger than ever before
■ tn^jwwn; and a supply more generally distributed
over the conntiy.

The Evening’Mirror says gravely, with regard
to the baby shows advertised in various parts of

that there is to improve tho breed of sheop, the
blood of horses, and tho size of pumpkins, wo
would have some hope for tho “ perfeotahility
of mankind.” Bat bo long as physical and

The Gazette seems to be a good deal annoyed
by Mr. Barton’s letter. Mr. Barton colls the
meeting held lately in Pittßbnrgb, in relation to
tho Nebraska bill, an “abolition indignation
meeting.” This does not suit the editor of the
Gazette, as tho information has been industri
ously circulated over the country, that it was. a
meeting of onr oitizene, “ without distinction of
party.”
It was not so. It was a whig and abolition
meeting, designed to make political capital; re
open the everlasting slavery diseuesion; combine
mere olosely the whiga and freo-soilcrs, and pre
pare for a desperate onslaught upon democracy
at the election.
The people are not easily deceived. Such de
monstrations are generally called “meetings of
the cihzene." The names appended to tho call
for the mooting,- the names of the ofiioere of the
meeting, and the names of the speakers, all show
what kind of a meeting it was. One demoera*
was nominated as an officer of the meeting. Ho
did not act. Hie name was afterwards published
as one of the officers; and ho deolares it an error,
and denies participating in nny way in the pro
ceedings. For this the Gazette abuses him.
But, it seems, Mr. Barton’s offence is that he
did not get up and make a speech against the
resolutions. And why did not tho editor of the
Gazette get up and mako-a Bpeech? Was be
faint-hearted in the cause? Did he doubt tho
propriety of the resolutions? If ho was not
there, why did he stay away ?
This abuse of Mr. Barton is a very email
game. .

SALE OF THB PtBUO WORKS.
It will be seen by the folldwiog article, which
wo lake from tbo Philadelphia Worth American
and Gazette, .that a bill has been introduced in
the House of Representatives providing for the 4
sale of the of the Commonwealth.
We have said that, if n Bale could be effected
without loss to the Commonwealth , there was no
very serious objection to it. But this bill pro
vides that they may bo sold for two-thirds their
cost, which would, undoubtedly, bo n loss to the
State. They are worth their cost, and a sale for
less is a needless sacrifice:
Correspondence of tho North American and .U.S.Gazette.
Haubisbdeg, Jan. 31. -
A bill for tho sale of the publio work a of tho
State was read in place this morning, in tho
House of Representatives, by Mr. Cook, of West
moreland county—a Democrat in politios. A
synopsis of this bill is annexed, because of its.
importance, its probable future. prominence in
this Legislature, and the largo degree of publio
attention which has been given to the question.
The bill authorizes the Commissioners of the
Sinking Fund, (who are the Auditor General,
State Treasurer and Secretary of .the .Common*
i wealth,) to receive proposals for tho ealo of tho
i whole or any portion of tho public works.of this
State, of every description ; the proposals, to be
advertised for in papers published in Harrisburg,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington City, Bal
timore, New York, Boston, London, Pans, and
Antwerp, to ho reoeived until noon on the 3d
of Ootober; State stook to be received at par
in payment, as cash. The . proposals ore to
stato clearly the work proposed to be -pur
chased, the amount offered, and tho terms of
payment proposed, in which of the two follow
ing modestwenty per cent of the purchase
money to be paid in four months after notice
given of the acceptance of tho bid, the balance ,
to be paid in ten equal annual payments, with*
interest at five per cent; or ten por cent, of
the purchase money to bo paid in four months
after notice given of tho acceptance of .the bid,
and tho balance in twenty equal annual payments,
i at an interest of seven percent—thoßaid mstal
i monts to be secured by the delivery of bonds
equal in number and amount to the annual instal
ments provided for, bearing interest os mention
ed in the proposal, nnd the bonds to be secured,
by a mortgngo upon tho work so purchased.
If tho best bid for tho wholo be an amount suffi
cient, at six per cent, interest, to yield nn in
oomo equal to four por cent, on tho original cost
of constructing tho same, it shall bo at once ac- :
cepted; also, if the best bid for a part Bhonld
yield a similnr income, it shall be at once ac
cepted; provided that, in that case, the. Canal
Commissioners shall certify, in writing, to tho
Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, that, in their
opinion, tho sale of such portion will not inter
fere with the efficient nnd profitable working of
the remaining portion of the said work A If, in
either case, tho bid should not bo sufficient to
produce this amount, or the Commissioners de
cline to give their opinion, the proposal shall bo
laid beforo tho Legislature which shall meet
next thereafter, who may make snob provisions
to carry into effect such sale as tho bidders and
Commissioners may agree upon. Any Railroad or
Canal company of this Stnto may offer propo
sals nnd beoomo purchasers; and, if necessary,
increaßO their capital to any amount, not exceed
ing that to bo paid for tho works and twenty per
cent in addition. If two or more individuals
become purchasers, tho Governor is authorized
to incorporate them into a company, subject to
those of the provisions of the general Rat'road
law of the State which are not inconsistent with
this not Upon the purchasers making tho cash
payment and delivering bonds for tho balance,
the secretary of the Commonwealth ohall trans
fer the works purchased to the purchasers, under
I the great seal of the Commonwealth.
The purchasers may pay off tho principal of
ono or more of tho bonds before maturity, with
interest nt the prescribed rate, upon giving at
least ninety days’ notice to tho Commissioners
of the Sinking Fund; and the State may ro ca
ter and re-possess tho works eold, upon the pur
chasers failing to pay ono or more of said bonds
within ninety days after maturity. If the Le
gislature bo not m session, the Governor is au
thorized to appoint one or more persons to take
possession, in tho name of tho Commonwealth.
The purchasers are required to keep tho line in
good order nnd repair, &c.; and are prohibited
from making any discrimination against boats
end tonnage passing to and from any nthcr por
tions of tho publio works than those they may
own, nnd from charging tolls greater than arc
for tho time being charged by the Stato upon any
•portion of the works it may own. Allcoutraots
existing nt the time of their taking possession,
and made by tho Stale or ite agents, for com
pletion of new work or repair of old, nnd for
work and materials to be furnished compomcs
nnd individuals, are required to be earned out
in good faith by tho purchasers, and nil damages
assessed after their taking possession to be paid
by tbem. If the Main Lino from I’hiladeipbia
to Pittsburgh bo bought by one company, they
are authorized to build a road from the western
terminus of the Philadelphia and Columbia rood
to the Allegheny Portage Railroad, nnd to ex
tend it west to Pittsburgh, and incrcaso their
capital stock to any necessary amount not ex
ceeding the amount paid for their purchase, and
twenty per cent, in addition. All moneys re
ceived from tho ealo of tho nublio works shall be
paid into tbo sinking fund, under tho provisions
of the laws relative thereto. If aDy farther
legislation should be found necessary to convey,
tho title of tbc Commonwealth to the purchasers,
tho faith of the Stato is pledged for the came.

Cheat Fmc in Quebec. — Quebec, Feb. 1,1854.
—The Parliament House nnd buildloga nt Quo
boo wero entirely destroyed by fire at two o’clock
this morning, together with the most of their
contents, including a valuable Library.
The flamce were not discovered until they had
gained too much headway to bo got Under, not.
withstanding a sentinel was on duty near the
spot.
The fire originated in the south of the build
ings from tbo furnace.
It is believed that port of tho valuable library
was saved, bat tbo Historical Society’s library
and apparatus wero almost entirely consumed.
The manuscripts are all gone, and the Museum
was much injured.
A part of tho records wore saved.
Tho furniture and all the paintings iu tho
Council and Assembly chambers were destroyed,
but the portraits of tho Queen aud Sir Allan
McNab were saved from tho Speaker's ohamber.
The dome fell at half past six o’clock this
i morning.
i Inspector Wells offered Administrator Rowan
! to savo two-thirds of the edifice if bo would blow
up the roof; three city councillors opposed to it,
and all was consequently destroyed.
Tho west wing might have been saved, bat for
a lack of water—there being two engines on the
spot, and a large oonoourso of people. The
troops rendored great asststanoe.
Tho building was insured for £BO,OOO, and tho
provincial library for £6,000. It is not yot.
known which offices are tho heaviest losers.
No wator was to bo had, and it was vory for
tunato that the night was so calm.
The insurances are chiefly in Liverpool com
panies.—Pennsylvanian.
gggp A bill for tho organisation of tho territo
ries of Nebraska nnd Kansas—being a copy of
the measure pending in the Senate—has been
reported by a mnjority of the Committee on Ter
ritories to the House, and after a most exoiting
discussion, was referred to the Committee of the
Whole. During the debate the utmost confusion
prevailed: members wero on their feet and all
speaking at once in different parts of the House
the galleries wero crowded with oager spectators;
all sorts of propositions and amendments were
mado; and so difficult was it to maintain or re
store decorum, that the Speaker was at timos
obliged to deolaro a suspension of legislation.
Oao gentleman avowed hiß intention of moving
to substitute the Nebraska bill of the last session
for this measure; aud another—Mr. Dean, of
this State—gave notice of an amendment so mo
difying the now bill that nothing in it shall be
Construed as establishing or legalizing slavery or
involuntary sorvitudo in the terntorios named.
Mr. English made a minority report, which was
ordered to be printed. Tho only material differ
ence between this and the majority report is with
regard to tho boundaries of the territories. Mr.
E. thinks that the territory of dJtah should not
be out into—the Momons being such a misera
ble class of people that it would be an outrage
upon morality to fasten any portion, through
their land, on the inhabitants of cither Kansas
or Nebraska. Two other members of tho special
committee—Messrs. Farley nnd Taylor, (whigs)
—dissented from both reports, but made none
of their own.— N. T. Herald.
