O'CONNELL was taunted with having changed his opinion and his action upon a certain poli tical subject, he angrily replied that "Con sistency was a scoundrely virtue." What it may be, it clearly is not possessed by a very eminent Frenchman of the present day— A sinnE-MArtiE-JEAN-JAcauve Dom some times complimented with the name of "the Lord Brougham of France." This goltle man, who was Procnreur-Gen6ral du Poi (Attorney General of France) during the whole reign of Loon( PHILIPPE and the Re public of 1848, and who resigned office after Louse NAPOLEON'S coup d'e tat, has returned to the same post, at the age of seventy four, and thereby gives the coup de grace to his political reputation. The antecedents of this man have been more than respectable. We never shared the opinion which placed him on a level with such Multo-minded man as BROUOUAM, but we knew him to be able, earnest, well-informed, shrewd, and sometimes even eloquent. Up to this time, too, we gave him credit for consis tency. When ho quitted office in 1852, avow edly because ho could not accept the dictator ship of Louts NAPOLEON, be was honored for his bold consistency and adherence to princi ple. Now, five years later, he resumes office —thereby admitting that he previously was wrong, and that MO LA PAYETPE, who ex claimed that Louis PnimppE was "the best of Republics") Louis NAPOLEON is the best of Empires. Pecuniary necessity, the meanest of all apologies, had nothing to do with this trans action. M. Bum is a man of wealth. lie in herited a large fortune from his father, and has carefully taken care of it. Ho pretended to be a representative of the French bour geoisie, but really was proud enough of his good descent and easy circumstances. Inde pendent of his hereditary property, he has been a placeman for about half of his public life, well-salaried, and very cautions in expen diture. He started fully in public life after the first abdication of the elder NAPOLEON, and op. posed him during the brief but remarkable re. sumption of Imperial rule in the Hundred Days of 18 . 15. At that time he was so much of a Legitimate that he earnestly resisted the proclamation of the youthful King of Rome, as NAPOLEON 11. Yet, with these absolutist predilections, M. Dem was selected, from his high professional reputation, at the early ago of 31, to defend some memorable prisoners. One of these was Marshal NEY, and /the other was Sir ROEERT WILSON, charged with assisting in the escape of LAYALETTE, the Postmaster General of the Empire, con demned to death for aiding and abetting NA POLEON. Through his skill WILSON escaped with a slight punishment. NEY was less for tunate—a doomed man, indeed, before ever ho appeared betbro the Chamber of Peers, which tried hint. It was scarcely possible to save this illustrious victim, and lie was shot. WEL manTou might have done it, by a single word to Lour, XVIII, but had not magnanimity sufficient to interfere. It is almost the only blot upon the military career of that great man, and we have been assured, by those who had full opportunity of knowing, that, in his later years, the Duke sometimes expressed re iset_atnotbaving solicited the life of Marshal YET. In this case, as in - idany others, Regret came in when It was far too late. M. Duero entered the French Legislature in 1815, and henceforth was a notable man— as a lawyer, an author, and a politician. At the bar, he was engaged in almost every lin portant case. As au author, his numerous writings upon jurisprudence have obtained him profit as well as reputation. As a politi cian, from 1815 to 1830 he was generally in opposition to the Government, and more especially to such Administrations as were influenced by or in connection with the Jesuits. All this thee, too, he was the pro fessional adviser, confidential agtint, and inti mate friend of the then Duke of Orleans. The Revolution of July, 1830, placed the Duke in a peculiar position. He had to choose between flight with safety to a very pollens Royalty. It is well known that he was very undecided, for some time, and even purposed retiring to England, where he once before had taken refuge. But M. Duels sought him, and found him hiding in the woods of Neuilly, and earnestly recommended him to take the crown which, as it wore, was within roach. He did so, and M. Duets continued the friend and ad viser of the Citizen King, who appointed him Attorney General of the Court of Cessation, a non-political office of great importance. Ho retained this through all his friend's reign, continued in it under the Republic of 1848, and did not resign it until 1852, after LOUIS NAPOLEON had become Dictator. Besides holding this office, M. Deem was also Presi dent of the Chamber of Deputies, under the Monarchy and the Republic. When the counter-revolution of December 2 was affected by LOUS . NAPOLUON, and the National Assem bly was annihilated, M. DUPIN made a very slight show of resistance, and showed his own adhesion to the new system by holding on to his office In the Court of Cessation. After 1818, M. Ducts was the friend and correspondent of Loris Pnuarry and the Orleans family. It was ho who, on the flight of the King, accompanied the widowed Duchess of Orleans to the Chamber of Depu ties, and announced the accession of the youthful Count de Paris, Under his mother's Regency—a consummation prevented by the violence of the mob and the ultra-republi canism of LAMARTINE. When LOUIS PHILIPPE died, it appeared that 31. Drris was ono of the executors of his will, and this position justi fied his publicly remonstrating with the Presi dent of the Republic, in 18u, for the confis cation of the Orleans property—one of the most defensible of LOUIS NEPOLEONN public acts, if all the extenuating circumstances were made known. At the same time he resigned his office as Precut= of the Court of Cessa tion, which he had held since 1830. Now, after five years' retirement, and with out one franc of the Orleans property having been restored, this Nestor of the bar and the wily resumes his functions in Cessation.

But the shrewd, cautions, astute lawyer and politician, who was the tried and trusted friend of Louts PIIILIPPE—he comes forward, under circumstances which have made the act one of almost personal ohloquity, and tells the world, by his return to office, that he yields consent and submission to the new order of things, and that he has every confidence in the French Empire, under its present able and suCcessful Chief. View it how we may, though it shows the inconsistency of 3f. num, the affair is very much in favor of NAPOLEON HI and his dynasty. The Boston Journal says ‘, It is' stated of one of our leading citizens, that a year or two ago he was estimated to bo worth threo•quarters cola million of dollars.

The Philadelphia ~P r'eflt.' and the Southern Democracy. [From the ittollmon,l Enquirer.) That portion of the Democratic party in the North which has recently arrayed itself—we will not say against the Administration—but in oppo sition to the proposed admission of Kansas into the Union under the notion of the Lecompten Conven tion, seems determined to pursue its ill-considered course to the end, regardless of all consequences. As we have already said, we impute to them no sinister motive. We do not believe that they are actuated by any disposition or desire to promote the interests of the anti-slavery cause. The p, ln eiilc upon which they stand is Impregnable. It is neither more use less than that the people in this country have the right granted by Uod, a-td ac knowledged by man, to title themselves. It is the essence of self-government—the only substratum upon which free institutions can be solidly and safely built. It is liberty In contradistinction to tyranny--the "divine right" truly represented In the majesty of the people, and not counterfeited in the person of an impious usurper. Such is our idea of the princi ple of popular shrereigut y. And hence we main thin that those Northern Democrats, who, unlike ourselves, sod, we believe the entire Democracy of the'Soulli, are nut willing, for the sake of peace, to acquiesce in the action of the Lecompton Con vention, do not necessarily subject themselves to the imputation of hostility to the interests of the South. But notwithstanding this, wo deprecate th e i r course, and cannot but consider it as injuri ous in an hour when perhaps the fate of the Union turns upon the harmony of the Democratic party. They are obstinately adhering to a principle, the practical application of which has already boon ob tained on tho most important point in dispute. They are firing at the feathers after tho bird has been bagged. They are still (thatching at the shadow after the substance has been secured. They aro pursuing popular snereignty beyond the -point for which the occasion calls. Most prominent, because perhaps most pertina cious among our Northern Democratic eotempora. ries who are engaged In fomenting this dissension, and it may bo dangerous division in tho party, is the Philadelphia Press, a journal whose discretion in this instance is far from being commensurate to its ability and dignity. In its issue of the 11th, The Press thus earnestly addresses itself to the Squthorn Democracy on the subject of their atti tude on the Kansas question as it is now— and wo trust in its last phase—presented to the country : " The South cannot sorely desire to perpetuate slavery in Kansas by a fraud. There is en in stinctive repugnance among the chivalry of the South to all dishonest action. They recoil from the imputation of being willing to promote their own interests by wrong ; and we shall not be sur prised if, in the course of the coming debates in Congress, declarations to this effect will be made by the leading Representatives of the slave States. " flow, then, do the Southern Democracy expect their Northern allies to stand up in the face of such a record as is presented in the Locompton Constitution ? How do they expect us to turn back the tide of fanaticism, when, while admitting, as all the South must do, that there is a vast prepon derance of free-State men in Kansas, they are still determined to force upon the people of that Terri tory a Constitution fabricated by a minority or by a Convention elected by a minority, and at the same time depriving the people of any fair chance to vote upon the slavery question itself r Can the South be assisted and strengthened by breaking down the Democracy of the North' Can it bo for tified in its peculiar institution by arousing new elements of dissatisfaction in the free States, and by placing In the hands of its avowed enemies, Messrs. Seward, Hole, Trumbull, Sumner, Greeley, and others, means by which a new sectionalism may bo awakened ? " How is this example to operate in regard to the Territories hereafter to be organized, and in reference to States hereafter to be Introduced ? To-day it may be to the advantage of the South to make a minority predominant: to-morrow the North may seize upon the precedent, and wield it against the South. The Press does no more than justice to the Soutlacrn people when it says " they recoil from the imputation of being willing to promote their own Interests by wrong." And hence they would , not, if they could, force slavery upon the people of Kansas. The Southern Demeeracy have never.asked more than their constitutional rights. They have always been willing to leave the peo ple free to adopt their own institutions. And they •do not now propose to deport from that liberal and elevated policy, which they have heretofore so steadfastly pursued. That It weilid have been far better for the whole Constitution of Kansas to have been referred for the approval or condemnation of the people; more in accordance with the spirit of our Iloverninent, less liable to objection from any quarter, and consequently calculated to put an end to the trouble bye final and unexceptionable decision of the question, wo do not entertain a doubt. But the error of sub milting to the people only a single feature of the organic law has been committed by the Conven tion—and n.e that feature is the Institution of slavery, we consider the great object of the Ne braska bill accomplished. And for that reason. as well as from fear the repudiation of the proceedings of the Lecompton Convention by Congress would lead to a dangerous renewal of slavery agitation, we have earnestly ad vocated the admission of Kansas with the "Calhoun Constitution," after the vote shall have been taken on the question of slavery. Let the principal point of the controversy be settled at the election on the 2lst of this month—and if after wards there is anything iu the Constitution which is obnoxious to thepeople, let them onll a State Convention, and either adopt a now Conftitution, or modify that under which they make application for admission into the Union. The whole matter will then bo within the exclusive jurisdiction of a sove reign hate; anal neither the pro-slavery men nor the antislavery men need fear the intervention of the Federal Government. They can then fight it out among themselv es, without continually disturb ing the peace and quiet of the country. Our cotemporary of the Philadelphia Pres, may be assured that- the Southern Deinoeraoy do not desire that the minority shall rule. They are true to the principle of popular sovereignty But they aro not in favor of endangering the greatest CloVernment of the world by breaking up the only politicalarty on which it can rest with safety We would not test the capacity of the boiler by blowing up the ship ; nor would we destroy the Union to prove that the principle of popular sovereignty is the basis of our ilorernment, The Presldeul'■ 111e4.age (From Um Louinville ,Ky.) Democrat or Dec 12.1 Our territorial policy just now presents a highly important domestic question. Ono of the Territo• ries is in open rebellion against the authorities of the United States; nod Kansas appears to be in a condition as unsettled as over. The position of the President has been misrepresented, as we es ported. lie regrets that the Constitution made at Lecompton woo not submitted to the popular vote. lie had assumed that it would be, and hopes that it will be required hereafter by Congress, es was done in the case of Minnesota; but he recognises the Convention at Lecompton as a legal body: lie seems to hold that the Nobraska-liansas net au thorized the Legislature to cull a Convention to frame a Constitution; and did not, in tonne, re quire the submission of the whole Constitu tion to the people. His argument to show that they were required to submit the slavery clause is eons elusive, and we think that it Is equally conclusive in requiring them to submit the whole It is true the slavery question was , partirularly referred to. The popular vote in the territory was substituted on this point for the Missouri Compromise; but, at the same time, the language is general and comprehensive; and was everywhere discussed in Its most comprehensive sense before the people. There was a 'general obligation to submit a Con stitution to those who are to live smiler it, ante cedent to the Nebraska-Kansas bill. It was a right no party would refuse; that hail been re cogaised and acted on before and since. It is not to be found, in terms, In the Nebraska-Kansas bill, bonus° it was not intended to confer on the Territorial Legislature the power to call is Convention to form a Constitution. The mistake is in assuming the emit Fury. We tee not the least foundation for the assumption. There was not a word said about conferring such a power when the bill passed. There Is nothing in Its terms to authorize it; and the Senate, when It passed a bill last year to enable the Territory to cull a Convention, cm Willy did not hold that the Territory already had the power. It would cer tainly have startled all parties, it', upon the discus sion of the Kansas bill, it hail boon announced that Congress was Siving to the territorial authorities authority to band all the Staten, to take it in as a State, at the discretion of the Territorial Legisla ture It seems to no there is but ono mode of escapo from these complications, and that is to pass an act of Congress enabling the Territory to call a Convention to form a Constitution, as has been done in the ease of other Territories; making the requisition that the Constitution formed shall bo fully and fairly submitted to (ho popular vote. This would bo in accordonro with the wishes of "ithe President himself. Ho does not hold that con tiess is bound to admit Kansas with this Constitu tion ; he does not even recommend it. Ile ban wisely left'lliat to the discretion of Congress, whole it j holongs. This will be the coarse pursued, wo have no doubt. It is sato and constitutional. Nothing is'to be gained by any other courso. It is trio the people of Kansas might vote as the Conven tion prescribes; and they might afterwards amend the Constitution, if they wished, to suit them salves, and save further trouble. But the fact Is, they are ono party in the matter, and will do as they please at their own discretion, and have a full right to manage their own affairs their own way. Congress cannot dictate what they shall choose, and ought not to do so, if that body had the power. It iv hi be regretted that so much passion end prejudice must he mixed up with en grave a ques tion. Why cannot all agree at once ton safe, con stitutlonnl, and legal course—the regular Olin ap plied to other Territories Why not pass an ena bling not at once, brushing away (hero complica tions, and provide for a Convention and a fair vote , Let a Constitution be made on authority unquestionable, submit ted to the people, and rati fied.

Ile was, of course, instantly killed, and his body terribly cut to pieces. The mane of the iii fated man was Robertson, and ho resided at Pu COMMUNICATIONS. To the Edtior of the Para: The following paragraph, which is in your paper of Saturday, Is not, I think, quite cor rect ; and though the title of 4( Lord" certain ly adds nothing to Bacon's lame, it would he strange if the use of it, which is so universal, should be erroneous. - You say : Every fifth or sixth year, it appears necessary, in the eyes of the Edingburelt Hemp% to open with an article upon Bacon. In the new number, there is such an artiolo, basod upon Spedding's now edition of the works of hint who was described by Popo as— °Wisest, groafeat, moaned of mankind." One thing is singular in this criticktu—namoly, its avoidance of the ordinary error of speaking of Lord Bacon. There never was such a person, or ssch a peerage. Francis Bacon was created Baron Veralam and Vi.connt At. Albans, but never was Baron Bacon. Even Macaulay hinvelf, who is very particular on comparatively trifling points, invariably miscalls him "Lord Bacon." It is true that he never was " Baron Bacon," and that lie was first created a peer, 4.. r noble- man, of England, by eta, title of Baron Verulam, and afterwards beeaffie Viscount St. Albans. But before he was crested a peer, he was made Lord Keeper Baeon,fand, as such, entitled to sit in the House of Lords (though not a peer) and to hear the title, and to lie addressed as Lord Bacon. Dod, it. his ‘, Manual of British Dignities," says that every dignity which is of right, has Ronte,e4remony that authorizes and publishes the tine by which it is desig nated t" the ceremony by which Bacon re ceived the dignity of o;eeper of the great seal conferred upon hinslie title of " Or Lord, although this preceded his elevation to the peerage as If Bdron Verulam" by more than a year. In Ms works letters may be seen addressed to him as a Lord, before he became a Baron or changed his name. In ex tracts from official documents, of a date curlier than that event, witiAll arc quoted by Lord Campbell, he is caTfed ' , Dominus." Lord Campbell himself entitles his biography the "Life of Lord Bacon," a conclusive proof that the designation is legally proper. So Sir EdwardOoke is correctly called "Lord Coke," though he was never it peer or nobleman, but, as Chief :Insilco of England, he was "by right" so designated. We have lately had published the lives of "Lord Jeffery," and "Lord Cockburn," 'though neither of these distinguished lawyers were barons or peers, or had any tc right" to that title except from their offices as Presidents of the Scottish Court of Session. The dignity of Keeper or Chancellor is con ferred in England, according to immemorial usage, not by any commission or patent, as in other offices, but by delivering to the person the great seal of England. This ceremony, of itself; constitutes him Lord Keeper or Lord Chancellor; gives him the dignity and title of a lord, and authorizer( him to go into the House of Lords and there preside, whether or not he is a peer. It is said that Lord Brougham assumed his title, went to the House of Lords, and presided there immediately after ho re ceived the great seallrom the hands of Willintu IV, though a short interval subsequently elapsed before he was created "Baron Brougham," or entitled to take his slat as a peer. I think, with you, that it is in better taste to omit the title when speaking of such a person as Bacon, especially as his title brought to him little except dishonor. Without it he might have remained, or have still become, the " wisest and brightest," and escaped from be ing justly called the "meanest of mankind." As, however, you have referred to the point in connection with its legal and authorized use, It may be worth while to ascertain this cor rectly. But what can be said in regard to our own IMO of titles? Whet is there to justify the absurd and multifarious designation of " hon. orable," so lavishly appended to the names of our own citizens, when there is no " cere mony, commission, or patent which authorizes and publishes their right" to if, when titles are forbidden to be conferred, and when it may be remembered that the Convention which formed the Constitution of the United States struck from it every proposed clause which gave, even to the office of the President, any title whatever hut its mere official designa tion While a Senator, Governor, Judge, Secretary, or military or navel officer, may be poperty -addressed ty the tilt. ; of the office which his commission confers upon him, there is no right whatever, nor is it consistent with the spirit or nature of our institutions, to fol low the British practice of appending the title of "honorable" to the name of any citizen who happens to be or has been in a public, sta. lion. The prenomen of o lion," or o honor able" is select by the weak vanity of indi viduals whose claim to any "title" is very often beyond the knowledge or even conjec ture of their follow-citizens; or is conferred upon those who are supposed to be suseepti. blo to a species of flattery so puerile. 'J'his was not the case among the men who framed and first administered our Constitution, and established its forms. Ido not believe that a letter of 'Washington, Jefferson, or Madison is to be found which is so addressed ; and among many of their communications to each other, which remain, we see them addressing each other only by their own names, or, if an addition is made, it is that of the office they may have been holding at the time. W. CITY POLICE—DEVF.MBRR llt (Reported for The Press A RETIFITMUU9 or Fritz Schwartz-•a plethoric person, obviously predisposed to apoplexy—represented to the court that he had been scurvily treated by n botanic doctor named August Beidietunn. Fritz had eaten about four pounds more than his usual allowance of soururout for supper on Monday evening—and as ho did not appear at tiro usual breakfast hour next morning, the people of the house where he boarded entered his apartment and found him in a state of insensi bility. They sent for Dr. Meals:man, who pro nounced it a case of apoplexy, and ordered the patient to ho well drenched with a decoction of wormwood, tansey, and hoarhound. As Fritz did not immediately revive under this treatment, the doctor certified that there was no hope for him; in feet, that he was just " its got as toad," and re commended that a coffin should be obtained for him without delay. The landlord, who had faith in the doctor, and believed that Fritz would soon be "dead enough to bury," applied to a neighbor. ing cabinet-maker, and had a good substantial black walnut coffin manufactured as expeditiously as possible—money enough being found in the pockets of Fritz to pay for this piece of furniture, and to defray all the other expenses of the fu neral. The cabinet-maker, naturally enough, was glad of a job in these Lard times, and worked with such good will that the cofila was finished, brought home, and paid for within a very few hours after it had been ordered. In the meanwhile, the patient had a profuse bleeding at the nose, after irhich be sat up in bed and called for something to eat. The landlord entered the room with a horrified counte nance, and expostulated with Frits upon the ins propriety of his behavior, nsaminghim that he was almost n dead man ; and, to Once that fact beyond all question, he called the patient's attention to the coffin which had been placed on two chairs by the side of the bed.

Capt. C. A. Stone, formerly of the United States army, is now in this city, orga• sizing a party fur the State of Sonora, and will soon leave for his destination. The terms of the contract are very favorable: their pay is one-third of the land surveyed, special mi ning privileges, and the right to purchase the remaining two-thirds at a low rate. The States under contract are Lower California, Sonora, Sinaloa, Chihuahua, and Durango. This is a sensible move on the part of Cora onfort, as it will enable him to acquire a better idea of their mineral and agricultural re sources; so that if he sells he can demand their value, or if he sticks to his determina tion not to sell, the publication of the survey or's report will cause an immigration to Haw in, which, by its superior energy, industry, and enterprise, will give new life to those at present comparatively useless portions of his erritorv.

THE FATE OF YUCATAN [Correnvondenre of The Presc) WAslivie.TON, Dee. 15, 18.17 The subject of the war in 'Yucatan is be ginning to attract considerable attention here. The accounts which come to us by every ar rival front that unfortunate peninsula show a condition of things deplorable in the extreme, and call loudly for the interposition of our Government. Thete is no denying the fad that undue foreign i»lluence is at work in that State. I have seen letters front gentlemen la minar with the state of affairs on that penin sula, who aro entirely unbiased in their views, uhielt state emphatically that British influence has long been at work poisoning the minds of the Indian portion of the population, and urging them on t• deeds of rapine, blood, and oruelty, which, in the language of one of the accounts, are too horrible to describe, and strike terror into the hearts of all." This state of affairs cannot long continue. Exhausted by political strife among themselves; deso lated in its length and breadth by hordes of savages, who spare neither titan, woman, nor child, but who, with the faggot and the toms luauh, spread death and destruction on all at wind, Yucatan must, in the fearfully signifi cant language of a neat address from the citi zens of the capital,'• snout be blotted front the list of nations," if relief does not speedily reach her. This is truly a deplorable picture, and appeals strongly to the sympathy and aid of the Christian word. All familiar with the domestic history of that troubled peninsula during recent years will remember her critical condition in 1848. Then she sent a special commission to the United States, to solicit the aid of our Go vernment in restoring peace and quelling the savage irruptions. Our noble and great !walled Chief Magistrate was the Minister of State, and the papers which emanated from the Department of State are able, ;tad credit. able to his head and heart. Had there been authority for the act, the Administration of Mr. Polk would undoubtedly have yielded to the urgent and pitiable appeal of the Ynca tecos, and contributed to their relief. The whole subject had to be referred to Congress, by special message of the President, dated April till, 1818. Mr. Ilannegan of Indiana, chairman of Committee on Foreign Relations, in Senate, introduced a bill authorizing the President to take 4, temporary military occu pation of Yucatan." The debate on this bill is highly interesting. Oar present able and distinguished Secretary of State entered freely and ardently into the spirit of the proposition. Ile spoke at considerable length, on several different days, in support of the bill, and his speeches throughout are the most creditable and unanswerable productions that have ever emanated from that truly great and highly gifted statesman. Ile demonstrated to the entire satisfaction of any unprejudiced mind the vast and incal culable advantages of Yucatan to the com mercial interests of the United States; that her situation in the great intertropical sea of America—commanding the mouths of the Mis sissippi and a transit route between the Pacillc and Atlantic—was of the utmost lin poi tance to the true interests of the United States, lle demonstrated further, that great Britain hail her eye upon that desirable peninsula-- that its possession by that overreaehing and rapacious nation would be flit:if to the whole Southern comineicial well-being of the United States--that Cuba would be the next step in the line of conquest--that these would in evitably fall into the open arms of our great mdess steps were taken to prevent it ; and the acquisition once made, England would unquestionably have the lock and key to the great gate of the seas through which now flow the vast and varied products of soil and climate known to fifty degrQes of latitude. The views and opinions so ably and elo quently expressed by that distinguished pa triot at the head of the Department of State are alike applicable to the condition of things now existing in Yucatan. Information now in this city leaves no doubt that England is at this moment striving to consummate her long cher ished purpose of acquiring control over Yu catan. Will she accomplish it t Undoubtedly., unless our Government goes to the relief of the sukring Yucatecos ; and thus prevent that deplorably afflicted people from throwing themselves into the arms of that rapacious nation, who, by fraud, rapine, and unscmpu lous encroachments, have effected a lodgment on the eastern and southern portions of the peninsula. Will our Government quietly al low this 1 No VERRON4. FROM HARRISBURG. (Correspondence of The Press.) HARRI4BITO, Dec. 14, 1857. It would encourage you in your editorial labors were you to see how eagerly Tits Pat , s is sought for each day, upon the arrival of the morning train from Philadelphia. There Is more than double the number of your daily taken in Harrisburg than of all the other Phila delphia morning and afternoon papers cont. bined—save one-penny sheet. All the other towns along the railroad are in the same way ; so it hill be seen shat a large share you have in influencing public opinion ; and thus having it, how great is your resproribility that it be used always in favor of the right. Rut of that I have so fear, judging from the past. The weather has been so moderate for some time that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company have determined to leave the water in the Main Line of the canal until Christmas, or at least until there is some prospect of a freeze up. The boats in motion early in the month were quite numerous and heavily freighted, but since then the business has slackened con siderably, Item fear of a sudden change in the temperature. An unusual number of " fresh men" have been returned members of the House this winter— there being, in fact, only thirty out of the one hundred who were members of tho last Legislatuic. As it takes a man a couple of months to understand the routine of matters, (unless he has a natural genius, which is not always the case,) this practice of sending a man one, or two years at the furthest, is very pernicious. The result very often is that they are humbugged and befogged by the "borer," scores of whom infest the halls of legislation every session ; and thoroughly understanding the " moans operandi," often get their point accomplished before the repreaeutative of the people knolls what he is after; or, in receiv ing instructions how he is to proceed with the business intrusted to him from his county, he lays himself tinder obligations to the " borer" which can only be cancelled by voting for a measure of doubtful propriety. The Senate, on the other hand, has more than the usual share of experience and talent, especially on the Democratic side. First of all we have Hon. Wm. Wilkins, now in his eightieth year, but of vigorous mind and pa triotic heart. He is always listened to with attention, and so clear are his thoughts and expression that his speeches always sound as if carefully prepared, never needing any repor torial aid to make them read well. lie has sounded nearly all the depths and shoals of political honor : has been a member of the General Assembly of his own State at a time when a majority of those who will be here this winter were among the generations unborn; has been a member of the National Congress, a Senator of the United States, a Cabinet Minister, a Plenipotentiary to a foreign Court. and when General Jackson ran the second time for the Presidency the Electoral College of Pennsylvania cast its united vote for Mr. Wilkins for Vice President. In addition, we will have Hon. Thomas Bell, of Chester, a first-rate lawyer, who once adorned the Supreme bench of our State; Messrs. Welsh, Buckaloo, Brewer, Wright, Schell, and others, who are always ready in debate. On the ther side of the house are David A. Finney, of Erie, G. W. Schofield, of Warren,and T. J. Coffey, of Indiana, who will uphold, with as much ability as are deserving, what is left of the principles of the opposition party. Yours, M. The Doable Murder in La nra%ter County In Tue. Ness yesterday morning we gave ex. elusively u special telegraph despatch of the terri ble murder of two women in Lancaster county. The following details of the dreadful crime we copy from the info flatly Tinley, of Wednesday morning .

There were a number of other horrible wounds; on one of the arms and lee were bruises and wounds. They gave it as their opinion that a blunt instrument bad been used to crush in the skull, but that the large wound along the side of the head wan done by a blow with a heavy club. In examining the remains of Mrs Ream, they found the froxtal bone fractured, the parietal bones were all completely crushed, and a hole at least one and a half inches in diameter. The superior motor awl the frontal bones were both crushed. The carotid artery and jugular vein ware cut on the right side of the neck. but not on the left side.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, writing from Deniphan.

About a thousand cases hake already been pre-empted. which comprise 10,1100 acres of land, at a cost of $200,000.
