will receive, on Tuesday evening next, the consider
ation of one, eminently qualified by his literary at
tainments, to *do full justice to its vast importance.
I.sdge Porter, milrdeliimr a lecture in which will be
traced the influence of Mental. developement on the
mechanio arts—an influence replete with valuable in
centives to the ‘worker,' to him who, in the language
of Orville Dewey, roduchs and not alone consumes
—to him who, puts forth his hand to the treasure
!map of human comforts, and not ' alone to take
away ! Honor to the worker—to the toiler! to the
sweaty brow and the toilikg brain—to many handed
labor that toils in the work shop and nada, be
neath its ca t ered and guardian awry !
The necessity of mental improvement as a means
of mechanical proficiency, and the fact that literary
, )ix.
cultivation is not inconir tible with the avocations 01
the laboring classes, are becoming axioms, and the
powerful pan now enli don these corrects, will
show their importance in the most glowing iniagery
of truth.

an ordination to the priesthood. in ninny Church,

Confirmation will likewise be administered.

The Navigation Company, it is reported; have foc c
some time past resolved to enlarge the capacity o

the ;fact, as every consideration of prudence points
to such a course. It is however deeply important
6a . the public should have official information on
$ tit( subject, in order to maks the necessary arrange

enlargement of the canal, has for the present almost
4134re1y suspended host-building. Many persons are
antiona to build, and would have done so ere this,

improvements which the Company may make. For

citizen of Finegruve, in this County, possessing a
character without a bleuit-h, and es you are allwell

meeting of delekates in Convention agreeably to the
established usages of the Democratic party from
time immemorial; no unfair means was put in re

Small Note.—The Philadelphia Ifiquiter says
that a great many persons are of the impreAtiion that
citizens who receive sod circulate small n+s—that
is to any, notes of a lower denomination 'than five
dollars, are liablQ to the fine of five dollars Tor every
offence. It is proper to state, therefore, that the ques
tion was tied before the Judges of the Common
Pleas, in 1838, when it was decided that the
was confined altogether to the manuicalurers of
tti, notes. The cssa was Dougherty vs. the Bank
oft Penn Township. The Bank had issued the notes
of some of the crirpdations, and was sued for the
matter_ The whole affadwas regularly adjudicated,
and with the result jvat 'alluded tn.
The Banks of New York and Boston have.
not fis yet suspended; they talk well of their ability.
to sustain themselves, but we consider the result
qu.te doubtful.

rification we ever before witnessed. Then one bawls
out u stop that ball," and off the locos start in great
glee, shouting and huszaing-not to stop that ball,
but to stop their throats with a drink for the great
" democratic " victory ! •
The best joke is, brother Best of the Danville In
telligeneer was beaten in Columbia Vounty.—Be
'says it was by the federalists helping his loco friend
Earay,And thus throwing him mere than 300 votes
in the rear. It was " highly unwrong," and shame

honest thinking men of his party, who would not
support Gov. Porter's office holder.
There were several others of the editorial fraterni
ty who ran for offices in different counties, some
were elected, some rejected ; all the former were suc
cessful, as they say by idemocratic' votes, and all the
latter were defeated by the •federalists.' Quite a
strange coincidence ! In our own County of Schuyl

( L 7 I declare "says aJudy, who thought more o
fashion, thaw - her dictionary, it is pleasant to be in
cited to a party where generous and talons meet, to
enjoy their porcupine fierversaies. I was once at a
supper, where the wits were as laminate as the tub
bow chandlers round the room, and as sparkish as
the jam of pain : the feet was expiended, but my

not ratify my appetite, and the pickles had such a

The Erie (Pa.) Gazette states, that the engineers
have advanced 'to within "twenty-five miles of that
place, in the location of • the Sunbury and Erie Rail
Road. Ihe country through which the route passes
is found to be generally favorable to the construc
tion of such a work—and it war expected that the
location would be complete to the harbor of Erie
during this fall.
Sympathy.—A whtg sub-treasurer embezzled
some private funds in the west, and started for Tex
as. The locos all raised a shout of rejoicing, aid pro
claimed it to the world, carefully avoiding any men
tion of the thousand and one loco defaulters. They
should have the same sympathy which Mrs. Spur
ting displays to Ainsworth's admirable novel of - "Jack
Shephard." This feeling woman cries out. " what !
is it nothing to part with a husband to the gallows 1
I've lost four in the same way, and know what it
is! "
...Why has the Whig vote throughout the state
been so small, this fall l"
Because the farmers and men of business have
private affairs to attend, and each one leaves the
management of thvlection to his neighbor. The
locos have a set of hangers on with nothing to do,
who will walk to the polls to pass away a day, and
get — a treat of whiskey. The vote of the Whigs de
creased, and the locos not increased since last fall,
shows, that Lacslicesnufm in political affairs on the
part of the former, is the true cause of our repeated
defeats. We can never conquer, until attendance
at the polls is considered an imperative duty. There
is a law to prevent persons voting twice; would to
heaven there was one to make them vote_once !
It is a subject for the serious consideration of all
who neglect their right of suffrage. Every one
should be sufficiintly impressed with a just estimate
of.the value of his single vote, never to neglect cast
ing it for the Most worthy candidate.
