&at to . eicr.—lt is rumored, and we presume
inay be set down as a fact, that Mr. Joseph Wearer,
brother of Vie mad contractor, has been iLpikAilted
Post M astir of Potts‘dle, in place of Dr. Cifichaoler,
the pr• io titlllinnit.eitt. If this has been done on
the modern 'priiir,ple of -rotation in office, - we con
gratulate Ltlb D.a tor, as he will probably rolair into

Martin. If 01.1., we are at a loss to know why a
01 a.,- kind has Jaen made. The news of
this.appmittii lent his created a great excitement in
mil: Borough—awl it is not to he wondered at, it
is the fourtif or nub office as regards revenue in our
State, and prehatily the third in amount of actual
I ,re..,zess ir4l'ers passing through it. Some months
ago, a remoifal was talked of, and both Locos and

that party it'io signed Mt. .11tititis
tvti; have two words to say ou this subject;
first as to 4ie person appointed, and secondly as to
the maimek of the appintinent. It is well known
.Mr. W ., lfici`k is totallyunqualified both by habit's and
eduatikin 4r the office, although we believe •him to
be an lion it and worthy ;nen in his private relations
of lift. then ig name of all tlpit's just, does

The Lyceum.—The highest compliment which
could have been paid to our fnend S amuel Leu•u,
Esq., and the strongest evidence of the feeling friend
ly to the success of our Lyceum, were to be found
in the numerous attendance on Tuesday last, not
withstanding the extreme severity of the weath
er. The field of Geology was traversed by the
lecturer with evident marks of deep research, and
the pertinent remarks which he addressed in favor
of a cultivation of the sciences, were of a superior
character, and should be well weighed by all who
had the satisfaction of hearing them.
.Congress.—The Senate has been busily engaged
on Mr. Wright's Bill, to more effectually secure the
public money in. the hands of officers and agents of
the Government, and to punish Defaulters, which
has pasSed by a vote at 25 to 16. This bill is a new
ramification of the sub-treasury hobby. Messrs.
Rives and Talmadge, who have basin estranged from
the dominant party, I y,the folly of this measure, both
offered amendments, Which provided that all pay
ments of revenue should be placed to the credit of
the Treasury, and prohibited collectors from drawing
money without a countercheck. These restrictions
on sub-treasurers were elven) a negatived by a strict
party vote.
The House of Representatives has been engaged
on a sui ject of the most disgraceful and revolting
character. A seurrious publication in the Globe,
which paper was chosen by Mr.
,lluncan of Ohio.
as a tit vehicle f,r his obscenity and profanity, has
ten - rise to a motion to expel or reprimand the au
thor. • This article was a. personal attack on Messrs.
Stanley, Shale and Southgate, calling them “scoun
drels, base liars, mean liars, poltroons, puppies &c."
It was more atrocious from the fact that a law had
just passed Congress, prohibiting duelling, and the .
author evidently intended to provoke these members to
its violation, or to screen himself behind . the law. in
the annals of our Legislation, nothing so disgraceful
has transpired, and years of .punticauen cannot ef
lace the stain.
The motion was laid on the table by a small ma
jority, and the•yueation therefore dispostaful in the
House.
F_ roil Trouble.y.—Maine and New Brunswick
are again at loggerheads concerning the Aroostook
lands. We have received through the attention of
Mr. fawn Langdon, of Kennebeck Pt. Maine,
a paper of then 3 ult. iii .Whirh all the official cor
respondence is published. The documents are en
tirely t,ro twig to be republished, but the general tune
of public opinion is clearly inlayer". of the position ta
kgn by Governor Fairfield. He has raised armed
forces, purchased munitions of war, and called out the
ruilitia>in addition to thi., he sent a letter to Sir
John Harvey, which was answered by three pro
positions % iz
Ist. That the Provincial LanJ Agent, Mr. Mc
'Anglin, be released on Ole sanietivrrus that Mr. Mc-
Intire was released.
2d. That the treepassera be given up to be tried
by the British'lmarF.
31. That the force on the: disputed tenitary be im
znediately withdrawn.
The Kenneitunk Gazette in relation to these pro
positions holds,the fdilowing language, which is the
general spirit of the Maine Press: "To the first
there can . exitt no objection, but the other*„ which
inYc r tive the admission of the right of Gretti Britain
Co exercise exAusiee jurisdiction over the terittory
id dispute; are mit admissible. if our only alterna
tive is to fight or yield a right which is clearly 'ours,
and thus targish the honor of the State, then let
there be an appeal to arms. Not rashly and preci-.
Littotely, hit in the spirit of men engaged in a righ-
Sowt eltlllse, let us take our position, and with 11ea
veil's: blettsilig, sustain it,—plant our standard and .
rally round It, As did the patriots of '76, wkii called
to resist the Oppression and injusttcr oarn mother
counts.”
Udiort Canal.—Jatio•A 1). Harris, Egg , who was
last sunyner appointed by the Canal Commission
ers to ascertain the practicability of obtaining a suf
drient suiTly of water to enlarge. this work to the
size of the Pennsylvania .Canal, has reported to the
Legislature.' that nti ample supply"can be procured,
and has c4tiznated the cost at about 31,207,496.
We hopeit will be umlertaken without delay.
Arcident.—A miner named ..*znurl IN - fiyliar, met
a sudden death lust week, while working in Potts St
13annan's mines in this Borough- Having prepared
a fall of coal,le incautiously stood near the' breast,
ands large mass tumbling against a prop, dislodged
it, and struck him_ against the side of the hiad, pro
dding almost instantaneous death. Naylor was an
industrious and etrellent workman, and his fate
should warn others nut to stand too near a tall of
coal.
17rginia Seizatpr.—After many inefrectbal at
tempts to elnct a Senator, the trial was indefinitely
abandoned. The Whigs and Conservatives in joint
vote had a lame m*nty, but some fifteen Whigs
were unwilling to support Mr. Rives on account of
his erpunrin; vote. As the State Legislature of
'Virginia meets oil the same day the new Congress
asseinnles, it is to he hared that she -will not la
many days without hi; full representation.
Louis l'iuMppe.—Onc of,MajorNoales
Parbnan correspondents, mentions that Lady
Newborcitigh is in that capital.' Her history , is a
binizular one—in 1824 the tribunal of Falenzci
Ord the certificate of her birth, and shit has evidence
of the etront;,•at character to prove that she is the
daiighter of ;Eglilite, and that:Louis Philippe is the
son of an Italian jailor, who was clanika4inily
ititrn
dure,l into the faintly...of Orleans, by 'the imperious
necessity of having male twins. Lady Newborough
being a woman, and Louis Philippe being King of
Fiume, it is Lull dilicult to divine whb will, have the
greatest Justi done them. ;

prevent a waste of public money in framing 'incor

experimental, as a general law Er% now in operation
in Virginia, embracing several manufacturing and tni

other states. We, therefore, are induced to concur
most heartily in any plans, which may tend to facil
itate the adoption of La Scheme which would meet the
approbation of all parties.
The Book.—. r. Godey promises some
thing better than ever, for the April number of this
valuable repository of the ails, fashions and litera
ture. It will contain a rich collection of original
gems by celebrated female writers, and will be em
bellished with two plates of ladies' fashions, a por
trait of a tligitiguished authoress. a collection of au
tographs of distinguished American ladies, a pattern
for a window curt-tin, and two pages of new music.

Trouble among M. Putriofq.—The Iluntingdon-
Journal sacs, that there is a good deal of kicking on
the part of James Clarke, President .of the Canal
Board, on account of the chi/Mral official interfer

not concern him—Mr. Clarke at onetirne left tho

of the lady who rouged badly = -comparing it to- a
poorly mend, d old statue, the lace and neck being so
badly joined together, that any one might see, though
the head was modern, the trunk was antique. . The

William Dunlap, Esq. of New York, furnishes Mr.
Smith the only scenes which are even tolerable. and
the ahn,•aed plot ofthe "modern Head," has entirely

The Ld e,islidure.--The lower House hare passed

27th day of March to meet again on the 7th of May
The motive for this is to allow time to frame
laws to carry out the provisions of the new Consti

of last week, in considering a bill to repeal that part
of the law incorporating the Susquehanna Canal
Company, which guarantees to the state the privi
