But we do not rernembe'r to have ever seen the same unanimity of feeling in regard to the pro ject, which appearefiow to', actuate the'thass of rthe peopk. Petitions have — been circulated 'firre'ughout the County, and regardless of any party feeling, the 'friends of removal nare uni- ted itt an •effort to effect this object eouteniplated. zilltthot•the Legislature is asked to do ; is to leavO ;it toCthe peeplyoP the county.wheih.er:the remo val 'should be made, and wo belieq? that nearly Ltwo4hirds of the voters would be Sound .‘z)k to the change. . „ .There Fe, many strong reakMs why 'Orwigs-, burg_shimild not continue to be the I.la'C'e of h'uld . log the Courts of Schuylkill.. county.

The principal objection.= . urged against the . - change are the .expences of erecting new county baildings,rand the injury which' would be done t.O.Orwigsburgshouldthe removal' be made. With surd to the fir.t of thete objections, we do not 'consider it by any means a strong one. The—cost ' oTol" erecting new buildings superior• to those in '!'JrwigsbuYg, would not exceed $30,000, a sum which Would be raised in three years, without in ' '2creasing the present, rate of taxes, ar.d without •innning the , county in debt one cent, under an • ':economical administration of the county affairs, Tho amount:lnv - red to the-county in 4 the Mileage • of jurors, witnesses, &c., would be by no means inconsiderable, and the people would not complain -Cif the cost of the buildings, ifthey added to their =1 „po far as concerns the interest -of Orwigsburg do not thirik that: that consideration ahould weigh at_all, eitlier in favor of, or against the re • moval. individual interests, sho'uld not be brought to bdar Upon a question of Puvic importance— We do !not believe howmter l ithat Orwigsburg Would lie' injured, bythe removal. S&long as the , .questio4. continues - to bd 'agitatdd, the town will. improve but little., If the matter was , ,settted, we .believe that the attention of the inhabitants would be'called to business of •sjrne kind which would .”. give an impulse to the town that it could not ea _ ceive while it depended fur support upon the busi f nese transacted during the session of Court: • We have no .dbubt that the removal would be produc 7 . tiveof good to all portions of the county. At all' • events we can see no _ohjectiomto the' plan of 01, , lowing thepeople to decide'for, themselves wheth., er the removal is ,expedient, and we hope that the l o egistature will, pass o law authorizing them to decidu'upon the question ut the next election. • Ctn . . celebrated letter which has given -the Administration so mtich tuneagitiess,-will be found in nnOtber column.

Since our last we, have heard of those !daces visite'd by them. The store of Mr. S. Heihter,,at Min l crsville, was en tered-a few nights since and robbed of some fancy good's and a small-sum of, money. TWo or. three • other stores were also attempted ,4 the same time. On Sunday night the ' - store of Mr. Whitficld, at St. Clair, was also entered and rohhed.. Fortu nately there was, little inon4 in the drawer at the time. A few goods of 'trifling, valitd were taken. The stores•o(Mesias. Charles Lawtoridr. & CO. and William Price were also.tried hyltke. same gang. We learn that the story! of Messrs)9loer &Mars at the 'Five Points, was also attempted— niih what iii.CCSs we have not learned. . • The friquency of theie burglaries ought to serve as a caution to our citiiem; to bolt and bar their doors,ind thus to secure themselves, from being plundered, We hope hat our ConstiMes will be vigilant in the discharge of their duty.— Should 'the villians.be detected, summai'y punish ment ought to be inflicted upon them. POLK co SANTA ANN.I.—It Is now'gezierallY admitted that Mr. Polk sent an Agent to Raven na to' urge Santa Anna to take command.of. the Mexican forces, and gave orders to the Blockading Squadron to permit him to enter MexiCo wit tout Molestation. It is presumed, therefore-, t t the two millioas of itutlar's asked by Polk i "to pay Santa Anna his salary for cervices render d. • An' administration that did not hesitate .to batter away • -. the industry of the ef`mntry• ta . F,Orope, wOutd - npt 1 hesitate to sell ti 4 to 'Mexico, if they could accoM-1 plish their vile purposes by so doing. This opin• ion is strengthened from the feet that the ' lstration is now debating upon the expediency' of recalling Gun. Taylor from the command of the army, because he has thrice licked the Mexicans, with his limited supply of . men, provisions• and ammunitions. The administration, it appears, would have been better pleased if Gen. Taylor . and his gallant little army had been ciat to pieces, as such a result might Lave had a tendency to . destroy his (Gen. Taylor's) popularity with the people. Oh! is it not lamentable that thecoun try should be cursed with such a weak; imbecile and • wieked ad,ninistration in such'a crisis as the present. TRANSPORTING PiII,{ , ILEGES. -=-I N p learn from Harrisburg that the Schuylkill Navigation Com pany have majle application for transporting priv ilege's again.

The war message _of President Polk has been assailed by the whole of the press, and Ugly names have been given to the process of reasoning, in which the President accounts for the Mexican war.l One passage has been strongly commented upori—that in which he says the war was not un dertaken with the view to conquest. We can call to mind no similar document dur ing our time which has been less favorably re ceived in England;. from this it may be inferred, that the annexation of California, of which Com modore Stockton has taken possession as a territo ry of the United States, is even less -popular in England thin was the annexation of Texas: The condition' of ,Ireland continues to be the absorbing object of attention- Pay after day the distress continues to increase, and famine is doing the work of death in various parts of the country.
