'l.airalkt a re- cent American celebration at'Bordentown, N. J., a speaker sstatetithat Mr. Barringcr t U.S., Minister at the COurt of Spain, had heea in formed by a papal Nuncio, previous to its an nouncement in this 03 untry, that, Hon; 'kr. Campbell, of Pennsylvania, a Roman Catho lic, was to be appointed Post Mailer General.. tetpasian Ellis made the same statement at Washington, and Hon. Kenneth Raynor` says disg#ctly that Mr. Barringer informed him of the circumstance. It is *beyond the shadow of a doubt, that President Pierce on the oc casion of his election to the position he so miserably occupies, bargained for the Roman Catholic votei and it is apparent he did So,. not through potiticians, but the hierarchy of ' that church. This is the most dangerous ele ment in Papacy, that Americanism seeks to crush here, and ,what citizen, possessing a tithe of common sense, does not perceive the necessity of checking the - influence of a des -Footle religious organization, when that influ ence deliberately tends to bargain and sales, with mediocre and demagogue aspirations for the first office . in the gift of the people?— Do we err under the circumstances, in oppo sing the encroachments of a power, which, while wearing the garb of Christianity, con ,ceals a political element inimical to the best interests of our common country? We think not. - THE SRAM DEMOCRACY FACTION'S OF. THE Coux.rr.—With our coteinporary, the Gazette, we admit that the Cake &alai is corrupt.— It is evidently growing beautifully less day by day. While making the admission r however, we cannot perceive, or at least have no evi dence that the leaders of the faction to which" the editor of the Gazette is attached, are a whit better than their Cake opponents, The leaders of both factions are most corrupt, and the principles which actuate them are becom ing properly appreciated by the people, as their features become more familiar. Our deliberate opinion is that the leaders of both, are a 'disgrace to the County, and a blight upon the prosperity of our Region. Both are allied to the Rum interests, and exercise that influence in the County calculated to corrupt, debauch and degrade the community.. Under existing circumstances, we really must decline the honor (I) of allying ourselves with either faction, until we perceive some symptoms of reform in their composition. These are our Opinions of the Cake and Straub cliques. The Gazette'eau make any deductions from them it pleases. THE HARVEST AND CROPS.-.---FTOIR every' State in the Union, accounts speak •in the most glowing terms of the prospects of a har vest, superior in productiveness to any that has ever preceded it. The crops are not only larger in proportion to the acre, but Ole quan tity of land under cultivation is at least one fourth greater than it was last year. All kinds of fruit promises an abundant yield.= The peach and apple_, orchards every where, are heavily laden with their fruitage. This is ; cheering, remarks the Smentific American, asp it offers a prospect of great manufacturing prosperity, for it is evident that art, science, and literature are dependent entirely upon the surplus prodhcts of the earth. In all coun tries where the inhabitants have to struggle lith nature for the bare necessities of life, art, science, and literature are unknown. ILLINOIS.—The Illinois State Convention of the Know Nothings had its session at Chi cago on the 10th inst. The principal busi ness before them was the, approval or disap proval of the action of their delegates at Phil adelphia. A very strenuous effort was made! to secure-the adoption of the Philadelphia' platform, but it was defeated by a large mad jority. A series of resolutions was adopted, 'denouncing the repeal of the• Missouri Com- . ; promise, and declaring that in all future po-1 litical contests they would require from their , candidates distinct 'and unequivocal pledges upon this subject. They also assert the pow er of Congress to-legislate on the subject of slavery in the Territories and the District of Columbia. THE NEW YORK LIQUOR LAW.—In New lith city on Thursday, the Court of Sessions , decided that under the new law, imported I liquors can not be sold after the original Pack ages are broken. This sustains the opinion of the' Recorder ; and is undoubtedly the proper construction q to be placed upon the operations of the new law in that State ns regards imported liquors in original packa ges. It is a noticeable Pact that those Judges who so far have rendered decisions calcula ted to clog the operations - of Prohibitory Li quor Laws, are men who drink themselves, and are thus influenced to give judicial opin ions, not in accordance with the spirit of the law on the subject. 00 00, 00 ,00 BURGLARY IN SUNBURY.— On Saturday night last, the residence of Judge Jordan at Sunbury, was entered by burglars, and robbed of much valuable family silver, which it con tained, in the shape of spoons, knives, forks, &c. Many of the articles taken by the rob bers, have the initials of Judge Jordan's name engraven 'upon . them, which if. recogilised; may-lead to the detection of-the burglars.— The thieves are supposed to be some "prison birds" who lately escaped from jail, and a re ward of fifty d-illarsis offered for their appre hension. MECHANICAL TRADE REVIVING.—The 8.09- ton .71 , aceler states that' the business in the machine shops of that city is "beginning to re vive, and that manufactures are returning to life and activity. A good fall business is,an ticipated, as orders are coming in rapidly.— One locomotive firm has recently received an order for the •bnilding ot 40 new engines.— Thisis good news. We presume the machine business of our own State will exhibit a simi lar activity next Fall. At least we gust that the trade here will experience a similar favor able reaction. t • KANSAS .A.Frsins.—Late accounts from Kansas represent that the personal encounter between Governor Reeder and Stringfellow was not accompanied by any of the humilia• ting circumstances with which the first report invested it. The assault was a trivial affair, and the timely presentationof his pistol by Governor, seems to have inspired Mr. Stringfellow with notions' of discretion and decorum. The Territorial LegislatUre has assembled, and Stringfellow has.been chosen Sieaker of the House. II IN .OP-Stticideis becoming epidemical in its char. .acter in Shia country.

The Govenor contends for the right of the people`:, to settle their own affairs, uninflu enced by other States, and says the territorial Legislature may act on the question of Slavery to a limited extent, and temporarily regulate it. He recominends the enactment of a stringent liquor law; on account of the Indians. He an nounces the population of the territory to be 3,383 females, and 5 , 133 males. Tim new commander of the British army, de r neral Simpson, is a sexagenarian,who has seen much service. Re served in the Penin. from May, 1812 to 1813, and in the campaign of 1815, being-severely wound ed at Quatrt3 Bras. He was also with Sir Chartes Napier in 1845, in the , campaign against th'n mountain and desert tribes:, situa ted on the right bank of the Judas. He re ceived hia commission as Major General in November, 1851.

Coal, Which was selling last yelik in this region at - $2 50 to $2 75 per ton, now., commands from $1 90 to $2 25 per ton only. Thrates of transportation on the Philadelphia atuljteading Rail Road. are the same as they were at r this time last year... This -is the only branch of thOusiness that has main tained last year's rates. We understand that th4-Managers of the Schuyl kill Canal_ are urging an ittivance in rates of trans portation on dui first of August — and the Rail Road Company are tiver4 to making any advance befoie the first of Septaitb]nr. We doubt the poli cy of the Companies maklng.any further advance whatever this season—bui if it is donl, on no con sideration ought any advance to take . place beforo the first of September. Ale 'Trade. will not bear it. Remember the fablo'qf the dog and shad ow, and don't bo too grit*, gentlemen. The Philadelphia and Itending Railroad Com pany have declared a caii.h dividend of four per cent. on the preferred SO common stock out of the businesS of the last six months. • COAL es Fuet..—Speak , ing of the use of Coal as fuel, the . - - /Ini/road Timei , yemarks : • "The progress of Coal ecinsumption is a curious part of our social histtity. ,Thirty years since. Coal was scarcely .known in dwelling houses.— Twenty years since it haii just began to be used in houses. Ten years sine - Ot was scarcely used do steamboats at all. looked upon as an im , practicable thing ?or steamboats, to use` Coal.— Now all steamboats . use It that - can get it. The same thing will take plane in regard to locomo tives. They will be adapted to Coal . ; and the en, rid./ being added to theiwoflts, will increase the dividends of the stockhotders just so .„. ach." "Will take place in re.gard to Loesmotives"— Coal has been, used in 'titicomotives for the last twelie years, to some ext'#at and its cheapness ful ly demonstrated. The lOtimore and Ohio Rail road, before its 'extension to the Cumberland Mines, used Coal iri some of their Locomotives . _ twelve years ago, and obtained it from Schuylkill County. The transporteis on the Beaver Mead oar Railroad used Coat +.,tn their Locomotives at least seven years ago, ikpreforence to wood, al though they.could haveXi;btained . the wood for the mere expense of cuttingiin the line of the What astonishes us is, Oiat a single Locoiaotive should have been built the use of wood, for the last three or four, yeiip, where Coal could have been obtained at a pr*not exceeding $7 or l iAB a, ton. Any man that . would build a Locomotive nom fur the use of wood its a fuel, will find hiunielf greatly behind the age: and Rem:flag Railroad Company attrOnte the great reduction in their expensee to tO ova of Coal, althoagh their wood did not coat them, on an average, over $3 lo $4 a cord. • ; AUBURN AND ALLarrOlc Rattrtoen.—The Re- Port of Ellwood Morris Esq., who reconnoitred the route of this proposo road, will create' a sen sation when it comes oUK.
