Mr. Ogle's Speeeh.—We hope our Mende will
have several hundred thousand copies of Mr. Ogle's
speech struck off in pamphlet form, for distribution.
It ought to be placed in the hando of every voter in
the country.
Celebration , on• the 4th.—We are, with just
cause, proud of the manner in which the recent an•
niversary of our National Independence was cele•
brated in our Borough. It shows that a new era is
dawr.ing on our country, that Intemperance;'that
omother of vice," is to be banished from our land,
and that no sectarian or sectional feeling, can stay
the progress of the mighty revolution. On Satur
day last upwards of one thousand members of the
Temperance Society, formed a procession, with their
badges, and were joinea by our several volunteer
companies, and a large concourse of citizens. A
most valuable address was delivered by the Rev.
Maginnis of St. Patrick's church, in which he de
picted in gloomy colours the horrors of this foolish
sin, and the blessings. to be derived Irom tempe
rance.
,Aller which the whole company, above fif
toen hundred, repaired to a delightful grove in our
Vicinity, where they were appropriately •
addressed

Of the festivity, and never did our borough see a
more imposing sight, than , these philanthropists on
the return of their procession. The white badges
:or abitinence, the fine fiofid complexions of our
•Olien friends, no longer flushed with the demoniac
' fire water," the, happy expression of all, lighted
up with the consciousness of having triumphed in a
struggle . between right and wrong, and the most
perfect order and decorum, manifeited by ail, were
'certainly of, a character to make the heart pulsate

The Schuy/kill County Quo Wurrardo.—kaf
fords us great pleasure to lean; that the Supreme
Court, recently *session at Harrisburg, have in the -
11
most marked nianner, confirmed the right of &fraud
D. Leib, Esq., to his seat as associate judge of out
county. The court over-ruled the jurisdiction of
Judge Porter, to issue a quo warranto, not recogni
zing associate Judges. as either county or township
officers under •the Statute. Tt likewise 'decided, that
the act,of the assembly of • 1840, reclassifying -the
Associate Judges, was unconstitutionat inasmuch
as the amended constitution required the first Legie
lature after its adoption, to wit, that of 1838, so to
classify them. Judge Leib being so classified, the
assembly has no further constitutional junsdiction
or control over the appointments. Thus all Gov.
Porter's appointments, in the room Of those commis
sioned by Es Gov. Ritner, between the election of
1838, and the 15th. of Jan. 1839, may have leave to
quit their usurped seats and retire to the_ walks of
private life.
We congratulate our fellow citizens on this tri
umph, and likewise tender our congratulations to
them on the prospect ?f having the present worthy
and most capable officer to adjudicate for them, in
preference to one who had no claim on the office.

brought up the rear of a Van Buren procession in
that city, on Friday evening last.

United States Senator from. Kentucky, has ex

for the Presidency.—Kenfueky Yeoman.
The day after the above publication was made,-

I. Appointments by the President, by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate:
• William L. Marcy of New York, and JOHN
ROWAN of Kentocky,.to be commissioners under
the act of Congress to carry into effect the conven
tion with the Mexican Recoil-tic of the 11th of April
1839.
Mr. Rowan is now. and always has been a rank
Federalist.
Emigrants.—There have arrived at the New
York Quarantine since the first of April, 23.338
passengers from foreign parts—a greater number
than ever was known to arrive id the same space of
time.
Cy Martin Van Buren cannot be reelected I
No President ever was, or ever can be chosen by
the people, who has lost, the confidence of his own
state; and Van Buren and his measures have been
thrice signally defeated in his native Suite of New
York. Therefore we hold the attempt as useleis!
Ernigranla.—About .3000 Germans arrived a
New York in three days last week.
d f n. McKean.—The rumour that dila gentleman
recenfiy maize an attempt to commit suicide by cut
ting his throat with a razor, is confirmed. He has
been confined to his bed for a long time by indispo-
silion.
The Cauliflower.—A writer in the Philadelphia
Inquirer says that the best mode of bringing this
delicious plant to perfection, is to transplant them
at twat twice. By transplanting they double their
roots each time, and thus obtain the necessary nou
rishment for the flower. In all other respects treat
them the same as you would cabbage.
The way they , get up Van Buren celebration
'on the 41h.—The Burlington (Vt.) Press states
that he is ready to prove, that Col. Parker, a Loco.
paid men fitly cents a-piece to attend the loco cele
bration, and walk in the procession.
The Gloucester Telegraph on Friday says that
the loco Cocos in order to , get a decent number to
gether in Lynn, on the 4th, to heat Richard Rush,
the black cockade Federalist, •6 they sent tickets to
individuals in Gloucester, a five dollar note accom
panying each to make them acceptable."
We know that tickets were offered gratis to a
number in this neighbourhood, to induce them to
attend the loco celebration in this borough, at the
Exc. :e, on Saturday last.
Phenixvilk Anthracite Furnace.—Through the\
politeness of a gentleman of this Borough, we are
permitted to furnish our •readere with the following
extract of a letter from Mt. Firmatone, the-Iron
Founder who blew in the furnace.
Dear Sir—The furnace continues to prosper, and
works very easy and well. We have had no trouble
in preserving a regular and uniforni working, with
the exception of the night after we blew in, When a
pipe in , the heating chamber burst and delayed us
30 hours, but the qUickness with which the furnace
recovered from this temporary suspension, was to
me a gratifying and convincing proof of the supe
rior qualities of Anthracite coal, es a fuel in 'blast
Furnace. The Furnace has now been'in blast over
two
. weeks ; during the first week she made 21 tons
pig iron', and last Week' 2871 tons; iron weighed
every day. The ore is used raw as it comes from •
the mine, it 'contains a good .deal, of water, brit we
think it will be more economical in the end to roast
it in the furnaee• We are using all the blast the ma
chine can produce, l 5 to. 1700 feet per admire, heel
ed to 500 Fahrenheit., If4we had more blast, the
production of iron would be increased. The fur
nace is 33 ft. high; 8 feet bashes, 20 in, tunnel head.
' The water truyeres work well, none have been
burnt as yet, pot disturbed since WO waned. The
head of water is 3 feet.
el. The Anthracite Cast Iron Rail Road laid down
in this borough, has been thirongbly tried for the
last two montlui, and not a , single rail • has been
broken as yet, nor has any - repairs been required.
There is a greater elasticity in the rails, than was ex
pected by, the most sanguine. 'Cast Iron rail. roads
will soon supersede all 'the wooden roads in this le*
eon, on which bons power alone is used. ,• - z. •

azr We commend the following article to the
attention of our readers, far the good sound sense it
contains. It is from the Philadelphia Ledger.
A, Change of Opinion.—Why, it has been asked,
is.chenge of opinion so commonly held disgraceful
among politicians! Why is a man who,has gone
from one party to another, considered As a traitor by
the faction he has abandoned, and regarded with
some disbud even by those whose principle, he has
embraced ! It is no uncommon thing for a politician
to be charged - with a want of integrity, or suspected
of weakness of intellect, nerely because he has found
reason to alter his views with respect to some parti
cular person or things. On the other hand, the man
who is resolutely bent on seeing things but in ode
light, who is unwilling to see any thing which might
change those views, who is inapproachable by argu
ment or illustration, who is insensible to all truths,
however obvious, if they are inconsistent with his
preconceived opinion ; that man Le, in general ac
ceptation, a sound politician and a true patriot!
According to our . notions, that man is a fool, and
the must incorrigible of all fools. The peefaliar doe
trines which are held by a political party, are aim(
invariably doctrines which may be rationally dis
puted ; they are doctrines which are derived from a
great variety of facts and circumstances which it is
necessary to collate and compare, before any reastm.
able decision cad be made. And when a decision is
made, and an opinion is formed, it should never be
forgotten that the liability to error remains. An
additional fact or clicumstance . will tarnish a new
gr.intul for inquiry; and this inquiryinay result in
a reversal of our former judgment. say, for instance,
that the qualifications of a certain candidate for office
have passed in review before us, and from all the
facts presented before us, we are led to believe him
entirely worthy of the situation to which he aspires.
Or, suppdse the principles of a party have been ex
plained to us, and the explanation proves satisfactory.
We become attached to the interests of that candi
date,or we advocate the principles 'of that party.
Then, if our ears are not timid against tiatccession
of truth, we may find that false statementc have, in
either case, been, offered us. The candidate falls
short of the description which has beeni given, or
the Principles of the party have been grossly, misgs.
presented. Wel clearly perceive that. we have been
the victims'of derption. Or say that the candidate
or the party themadves have changed, and, in this
mutable, state of eaistence, what is more likely 1 In
any of these cases; does honor, integrity, good faith,
or common sense, requira that. an individual should
adhere to such a candidate or such apart' 1 , Every
freeman, everyman of common sense mast answer

THE SUB-TREASURY P• -: ED.
The Government have at length overcome the
people; the Sub-Treasury till has p --.. Sit miles,
directly and indirectly, have the peep!. beaten down
the project ; the seventh time, a ma ority m Lied
gress was found base enough to plate the Pulse end

spending et this state of things, fore lily reminding
us of the last years of the .Roman • • .üblic. Some,
who have not given the subject a proper considera
tion; seem to think that, inasmuch is there is no
money in the Treasury beyond the wants of Go
vern:neat, no injury can arise from pie passage of
this law. Even the amount required ' for the public
expenses; passing daily through the hands of Sub-
Treasurers, the offi.cere'of the President and' not of
the people, will create great embarrasiments. Beld
ing the notes of all the Banks, thei may demand
specie for them—or at least their position necessa
rily makes the Banks subservient tolthe Sub-Trea
surers, as the means of proiection ;!'ionseque9l.l9,
the indirect control over all the Banks 'arises from
the passage of this law. Here is an nemeruse influ
ence taken from the Oeople and given to the Exe
cutive. Besidei, a portion of the relrenne is to be
collected' this year in specie, to be increased the
next, and the next, gradually, until the whole reve.
nue is collected in specie, and then - labour goes
down, enterprise goes' down; ereditgoel down, and
the Banks all go down. No porter can' prevent
this result unless the peoplecheap(' 'their Tilers*
and repeal the law. Another fright ul consequence
arises from the passage of this Subl i •Tressury: you.
cannot' persuade the ragicall portion of , the Presi
dent's party, that this money, , is 'tot their own.
They already think it so; they are' rejoicing, ;king
eannon;and sending up rockets, under the convic
tionepos; that they are to have the use f it: the Lao
cutiie has got it, and through him they expect' o
get
it. It has been driven through Congress prior
to the Presidential election, and Ith will consider
the public money at their di , to electioneer
