Not among theleast of the extraordinary move
ments of this extraordinary age are-the stela* which
have been taken, during the last ten years by the
friends of temperance to produce a thorough and an
abiding reformation, of our social system. The a tee.
totallers," as theY;are termed, have label:trod long
and assiduously to reclaim millions of , their fellow
men from the degraded depths into which they
have been plunged:by the free use of ardent spirits;
but not until a very recent period have their labors
been clowned with success.- Now, thanks to the
exertion ! : of Father Matthew ,and such kindred spir
its, the temperance cause has received such an im•
petus, that its overithadowing influence is seen and
telt in the New World. as well as in the Old World.
. On Monday last{ in honor of the .glorious fourtb,7
the Catholic-Total Abstinence Society of this Bor
t:l4h turned out in full force, to commemorate a day
hallowed tocvery friend of freedom, and to assert their
second declaration of independence. A more' auspi
cious day in every respect could not have been velec
lel A clear and unclouded sky and a breeze cool
and pleasant in - the extreme. At an early .hour in
the, morning the tnamberrof the Society began to
assemble in the Greenwood Orchard under the direc
tion of Peter F. Mudey, Chief Marshal, assisted by
William Tanner, Michael Cooney, James Cleane,
Patrick Doilahuei Paul McDonald, and Thomas
Quinn.
About ten o'clock tho Teetotallers were ready to
take up their late of march, their ranks being swel
led to a considerable extent by an accession of their
fellow om ,Atinersville and Port Carbon,
who ( ly, with music, banners and ap
propi The procession was met and es-
coned to St. Patrick's Church by Capt. Wynkoop's
troop of hors,e , Capt. Dean's Company of Light In
fantry, and Captain Dorfiioger's Company of Yea
gers. •
The services in the chorph were of a highly in
teresting Mod exciting chsticter, and produced a most
visible egret on the epeigiors. A temperance an
them was first sung, which was followed by a prayer
for the Comruonwea!th by the Rev. Mr..Ga!lager.
As coon as the E raycr was concluded, the Rev. Mr.
McGinnis rose and addressed the vast assemblage in
a strain of feriid eloquence. No one could have lis
tened to the reverend gentleman's remarks unmoved.
He spoke of the blessings which flow from the total
abriinence from intoxicating drinks with a degree of
feeling and enthusiasm which found a warm and
ready response from Iris hearers. Mr—McGinnishas
entered into the temperance cause with his whole
heart and soul.'; His very existence seems to be
bound up in the triumph of temperance principles.
His zeal in the great work knows no bounds. Among
tho first to rgise the standard of temperance in this
country. neither time, obstacles, nor, opposition can
repress his ardor or cool his cnthttsiasm.
At the conclusion 'of the address, the Society, with
its escort, formed into procession, and repaired to
the woods above the town. .Here the Declaration of
Independence Was read by Col. Baird,. who also
made a few brief and pertinent remarks to the Socie
ty. A temperance song was next sung with the
greatest effect, all joining in the chorus,
r . I've cast the bowl away," &c.
The song was followed by a speech from J. C. Nt-
LLE, ESq. Mr. Neville spoke well, for bespoke to
the point. He was frequently interrupted in the
course of his remarig by the most vociferous cheer
ing. His speech told with most happy effect.
The. Society formed .again into procession and
proceeded to the Park, at - Mount Carbon, where they
partook of refreshments which bad been generously
provitted by John White, teg. From thence they
returned to the Orchard to attend the meeting of the
Repeal Association. Here addresses were delivered
by Mr. F. W. Hughes and Dr. Thomas Brady.
Rarely, if ever, has our national anniversary been
celebrated in a more becoming and, appropriate man
ner. The whole affair was got up in a capital man
ner, and was complete in all its details. - The Catho
lic Total Abstinence Society numbers some 3500
members. About a thousand of them appeaed m
procession with their medals, badges and banners,
(and by the way, they had two excellent bands ,of
music,) and .a finer body of men was never seen„.
Clean, orderly, well dressed, e nd their cheeks ruddy
with the glow of health.
One of the most pleasing incidents of the day was
the appearanc:e of about one hundred juienile teeto
tallers. The : principles of temperance could not be
engrafted on better or more promising shoots. Their
banners and mottoes attracted universal attention.

ME WAS TIMMONET Goss.-IWhat a dear set
of boys thee local arc-how they to love the people,
and their moriey.. If they cannot obtain it legally
out of the Treasury, they have no objection to put
their hands into the Treasury and obtain it illegally.
And what a beautiful Governor. they . have too--Ile
takes an oath to support the Constitution and Lairs
of the State, draws orders . on the Treasury without
any authority of law, end then takes out a rule to
compel the State Treasurer to riolOe the law also,
by paying his illegal drafts. Oh ! the transcendant
beauties of Locefocoism ! Who would not be a lo
cofocoand Prosecuting Attorney, With such a conve
nient Governor.
From the Harrisburg Telegraph.
The Mandamus Case.
We noticed in our last, that a rule had been taken
out against Mr. Gilmore, State Treasurer, to show
cause why a mandamus should trot issue from the
Supreme Court, to co - rip I the payment of a warrant
drawn in favor of F. \V Hughes, of Schuylkill Coun
ty, hylGov Porter, fur services in the quo warranto
case against Judge Leib. The cake is so perfectly
plain, that we are at a loss to account for the actu
ating motives, in attempting. to force through a con
stitutional prohibition, so distinct and palpable as tide.
Those who have read tre very able Report which
emanated Intim Thomas Williams:, Esq, Chairman
of the Senate 'Committee' on the illegal fees paid to t .
Attorney General Johnson and Julke Porter, must
remember the suggestion therein made, that if the
Governor could employ and pay counsel for ousting
an usurper, he might equally employ and pay them
for the purpose of ousting a rightful Judge, and put
ting an usurper in his place. The executive power
could be used to carry out the privalC pique or sub.
serve the party ..merest of a political Governor, in
such a case, as is most evident. The case of Judge
Leib was evidently one, where the executive sought
to exclude a rightful incumbent iii favor of an usur
ping claim.nt, and Judge Leib was sustained by the
unanimous decision of the Supreme Court. But de
spite this, the attempt is now made, to enforce the
payment of extra compensation to the Deputy Attor
ney for Schuylkill county, E. W., Hughes, Esq. for
his services in endeavoring to oust a rightful Judge,
while it is notorious, that when the usurping Judges
have actually taken their seats,' as in Allegheny
county, the rightful officers, (according to the deci
sion of the Supreme Court) have been obliged to
employ counsel of their own expense, in order to
get rid of the usurpers !
We will advert to the particular facts attending
theektrse of Judge D Avis, of Allegheny Country. to il
lustrate our position, and to show the unfairness of
Gov.iirter's conduct. When the Supreme Court,
decided on the quo warranto ease of Judge Leib,
thOt decision as the final law of the state ; and it
was the sworn duty of Gov. Porter to see that it was
faithfully executed. Judge Davis' appointment in
volved a parallel c ube, but the State Prosecuting At
torney did not interfere to protect the rights of a con
stitutional officer; no directions were given by the
Executive or. - the Attorney General, and the right
claimant was obliged to retain counsel, Thomas
Williams, Esq. and thus at his own expense '• see
that the laws were faithfully executed," having been
deserted by the Governor whose duty it most palpa
bly was, to have protected him, While thus em
ployed, Mr. Williams was evidently serving the
Commonweath ; yet it woad surprise any one to
hear that Gov. Porter had ever thought proper to
draw a warrant in his favor, or recommend his servi
ces to the attention of the Legislature !

But take the argument of the friends of Governor
Porter, and who can deny that Mr. Williams has
a much bettor claim than Mr. Huglie4, because Mr.
W. was employed to carry out the ;constitutional
provision in regard to the execution of the laws and
succeeded. Mr. H. was retaine', for the purpose of
defeating the lows and the constitution, and wasfoil
ed and disgraced in the attempt. Does not the
aptness of this case, convincingly illultrato the false
position of Governor Porter, and sliewl that the pow
er he claims will only be used for political ptivmses,
to reward partisans, and assist in triumphing over the
Woken' down barriers of constitutional right ?
[The Governor did not see proper to draw a warrant
to pay Judge Leib 's counsel, who were engaged in
supporting the Constitution and laws—but F. W,
Hughes, Esq, must be paid by the people for an at
tempt to trample the constitution and laws under
his feet.
We will publish the reply of the State Treasurer to
the rule, next week , -3f. J.]
AN Inox HOUSE.—.‘ A gentleman of Brussels has
constructed an iron house, which is said to answer
the ol'jects intended in a satisfactery manner.—The
walls aro hollow, and the hot air circulates from a
central point in the kitchen, through the intervals of
the walls, and by means of valves the quantity to be
admitted may be regulated. A house consisting of
17 rooms will cost £1,165, while a house of the
same size in brick would cost £1,151. The.ronms
are arranged on three floors. The whole weight is
797 k tons,, avoirdupois, (810,000 kilogrammes.)
The advantage of this structure of house is represen
ted to be its permanent nature, and the facility with
which it may he removed. The expense of carrying
it from Brussels to Liege, to Ghent, or to Antwerp,
would he about £25."
The above paragraph, we believe has hem copied
into every paper in the country--and for the object
intended would be a very good article, if it were not
for the very great dibcrepitancy.between the price of
the building, and
, the quantity of Iron used in its
construction. The house is reptesented to cost £l,-
165, less than sbooo, and the weight of the Iron
used, 797 i tons, which at $2O peiton, would amount
to upwards of $15,000. If the statement is correct,
Iron must be very cheap in Bruisels.
ANOTHER PREVIOUS PARDON—We learn from the
Huntmgdon Journal that avolher pretiour pa)di,n
has been GRANTED By GOV. PORTER TO A DOME THIEF.
Jle was lodged in the jail of Westmoreland county
—relenßed on bail, and quietly walked off.
Before the court—of course before his trial—a par.
don was granted by Mr. Porter.
This is a new way they have of doing business
in the t eurts of quarter se. , sions of the peace ;n tills
State. Twice has this unheard-cif power been used
to release those charged with crime. We can only
say :bat, if the CONVICTED FELONS who inhabit the
cells of our Penitentiary, from the murderer to the
petty thief, are to be turned out ypon society, and
the scores of villains already louse in society are to
be allowed to pick the people's pockets; steal their
horses, and commit any crime, and carry, as their
protection, a previous pardon, we think it is nearly
time for them to use their own strong. arms when
the strong aim of the law is manacled by its sworn
Executor.—Har. Telegraph,
