The Pike's Peak gold-mine excitement con
tinues to rage violently in Kansas. A corres

went out last spring have returned within the last
two days, in addition to 'Billy Parsons,'. George
Shiith, and their. companions, who. tot In about

spring. They all bring specimens of the gold, and
its average twenty-two karats, They appear
candid and reliable, but aro very enthuelastio ;
and theirreporbi are generally aeoredited in Law
ramie. Almost everybody hero expects to go in
the spring. Unless something now improbable
operates to throw a damper on the enthusiasm
there will be a greater rush to that region next
spring than 'was ever' witnessed in this or any
other country. It le impossible to realize or lion 7
jeetare•what it may amount to. There, are now
some 1,600 persona en route for 'the mines. Many
of them will suffer great hardships, and perhaps
send back discouraging reports; but they were
very foolish to go out as late as they did "

The Pennsylvania Law of Libel.
A- paragraph is going the rounds of the
Press,whicli asserts that the Pennsylvania libel
law of-1866 is unconstitutional. This opinion
is based upon a report of the proceedings in
the case of the Commonwealth vs. the Editors
of the Workingman's Advocate, which was
tried, about a year ago, in Schuylkill county.
Judge Hams is reported to have decided
that, inasmuch as the Bill of Rights, which is
part ..of the Constitution, declares in what
cases the truth may be given in evidence, it is
thereby prohibited in all other cases; and
that, as the law of 1856 allows the truth to be
-given in evidenee in all
. ettiferVandthereby goes
tUrther than the Bill of Rights, it is to that
extent nuconstitutional. Wo aro glad to learn,
however, that this statement Is erroneous, and
that there is no good reason to doubt the
constitutionality of the existing law. Even
In the ease quoted, Judge Monis admitted
14 constitutionality, for the time being, and
gave the defendants the benefit of its provi
sions. Ile certainly - did not judicially decide,
directly, that it was unconstitutional, and we
have understood that ho denies baying ex
pressed the opinion which Is attributed - to
him. In a prosecution for libel against the
publisher of a newspaper in Reading, which
was tried some six months ago in that city,
Judge Jolocs, in charging the jury, took PeCil
qton to say that the now law in nowise trans
cended or contravened the Constitution.
When the law was under consideration in the
State Legislature several of the ablest law
yers in that body strenuously opposed it, but
none of them 'pretended that it was unconsti
tutional. If it had been, it is scarcely possi
ble that such skilful debaters would not have
noticed an objection which is so commonly
' urged , to proposed legislation, and which, if
well founded, is usually fatal to it.
The Market HOUBCI3.
At the session of the Councils to.day, it
is expected that the question of the removal
of the sheds from Market street will be con
sidered, and we hope that an ordinance autho
rizing their destruction will bo adopted. Why
cannot this be done ? It is, entirely out of
the question that nick, antiquated nuisances,
can much longer be permitted to block up the
great commercial
,gioroughfare of the city.
Their removal is a more question of time.
Bit the sooner it occurs the better. It should
be the pride and pleasure of our Councils to
do everything in their power to promote the
great mercantile interest which forms a vitally
important element of our prosperity. It is
singular that the urgent requests of a very
large portion of those who are identified with
it have so long been disregarded, and it is
high time that their prayers should be heeded.
Such sheds as we have on Market street are
behind the age, and belong to a past era.
They lave been superseded in all other cities
by buildings much better adapted to tho per
poses for which they were intended. They
haie too long disgraced Philadelphia. Act
promptly, then, gentlemen of the Common
Council; and If you'do nothing else to entitle
you to the gratitude of our citizens, you will
be-gratefully remembered hereafter for the
single act of removing these nuisances.
In another column will be found an in
teresting communication from Arizona. The
writer ,is a gentleman of experience, and
weight is to be attached to his hints in refe.
renee to revolt in Sonora. As our readers
will recollect, it verities the statements of
it bccasional's"'letter - of - last week, that a
movement was on foot to overthrow the Glo-
Vernment of Pesquiera. We learn that Cali
fornians and Americans from Arizona and
New Mexico are crowding to its frontiers to
help alongithat movement, and It is not impro
bable that at no distant day, we shall have to
record' another separation, like that of' Texas,
- from her fellow Coahuila, and 'from the Alexi.
can Confederacy, and the erection of another
Pi•es'ideney.like that of the same State, as a
.prehibinary to 'annexation to the United
States. •

file Personal Polley of the General
Administration.
At no period in our history has there been
attch an organized crusade upon tbo distin
guished men of the country as that to which
the present Administration of the Federal Go
vernment has devoted itself. Directly after
the inauguration of the President, this charac
teristic was prominently displayed. The first
blow was struck at the Mends of FRANKLIN
PIERCE, under various pretexts. One of these
pretexts, that of rotation in office, was aban
doned, however, because the South objected
to it, but the warfare upon Northern men did
not stop for that reason. Nearly every Demo
crat appointed to office by that distinguished
man was removed, oven to those who bore the
nearest relation to himself and the patriotic
members of his Cabinet. But when the Kan
sas policy of the Administration was announ
ced, a now and more extraordinary phase of
this proscription was disclosed. We have al
ready shown that an attempt was made to
compel Mr. HUNTER, of Virginia, on pain of
ostracism from •the party, to support the first
honest mimosas of the President=—the purpose
of standing by Governor WALKER and the
pledges of the Democratic party in 1866.
Whether it was because Mr. Htniren proudly
defied the threats of the Administration and its
friends, it is certain that the next development
was a public and profligate change of front
on this question—the desertion of WALKER
and STANTON—the repudiation of the princi
ple upon which the Administration was
organized and brought into being—and
the resort to an equally open and equally
profligate proscription against all who would
not declare this change of front an act of
righteous statesmanship. Then began tho
most offensive and most monstrous attack
upon the public men of the country—upon
the chosen and well-tried champions of the
Democratic party—that has over boon wit
nessed. Even the Whigs and Republicans
never adopted such a system of tactics against
their Democratic antagonists eat hat which was
greedily seized upon by an :Administration
which owed its election to the services of the
Very men whose overthrow it has so ea
gerly attempted to accomplish. The war
upon STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS need not be
recapitulated. In all the disgraceful de
tails of this war, from its inception at Wash
ington, when ho was assailed by the ready ri
baldry of the' pliant Bonen, hawked at
by the Washington Unien, traduced by the.
Star, and made the text of offensive public
comment by the Cabinet and the Presifflint,
through every intermediate stage ol the Con
gressional contest, down to the savage pro
scription of himself and his friends in Illi
nois—from first to last, there has been
nothing to rescue the Administration from
scorn and contempt, Or to relieve its infatua
ted policy from the indignation of honest men.
But while DOUGLAS was made the target for the
brave Bomuns and the valiant JoNestis, and
the fierce Fillings, and chivalric fire-eaters,
others were not spared by the well-paid fol
lowers of the Administration, who, from their
official retreats, could safely &sliver their
shots upon all offenders. The word was
given to shoot them down wherever they
were to be found ; to take every man's life,
(politically speaking,) no matter how high he
stood, who would not yield to•the scandalous
treacherrof the Administration. The order
was obeyed—not, it is true, without being sue
cessfhily and memorably resisted by those
who, from being selected for victims, became
glorious victors ; but still the followers of pa.
tronage responded to the mandate of their ,
masters by a characteristic and harmo
nious course of secret and public assaults
upon the alleged offenders. in Illinois
the gallant THOMAS, llamas was _be
set by these mercenaries . with 'every in
strument of detraction , and tepita. The • same
means wore applied totlefeat T. N. MORRIS,
another able Representative from the same
State. In Indiana, Jona G. Davis, for no
other crime than for preferring principle to
patronage, was traduced with unmanly and in
conceivable malignity ' and bitterness. In
Ohio, wherever a Democrat could be found
whose manhood revolted at such an exhibi
tion, be was decapitated at once—as illustrated
in the case of Mr. Gnev, the 'accomplished
editor of the Cleveland Plaindealer, whose
personal afflictions did not save him from
the axe of the executioner. In New Jersey,
the Hon. Manna RYERSON, the well-tried,
disinterested, and most gifted friend of Mr.
Buorwran, was attacked, frontand rear, by the
hirelings of office, because he could not, either
as a Democrat or a. gentleman, .sanction the
insanity of Lecomptonism. • In New York, it
is only necessary to refer to the proscription of
JOHN B.ilastint and HORACE F. OLARK, to
show how the work of malignity and of in
tolerance was there carried forward.
In California, where the Federal Adminis.
tration has more patronage than in any.other
State • of tho Union, excepting New York
alone, growing out of the vast expenditures of
public money in the fortifications of the Pa
cific coast, the building of the new navy yard
at Mare Island, the expectations of specula
tors in mines, and in the numerous claims for
consideration at the hands of the Attorney-
General and the Supreme Court, a desperate
onset was made on Senator D. C. BRODERICK,
Hon. JosEPH O. litoKinnix, Ron. Mr. McCort
}ME, and others, on account of their devotion to
the pledges of the Democratic party of 1866.
We have reserved reference to Pennsylva
nia to the conclusion of this article. Ex
cepting Illinois, in no State has the proscrip
tion of leading members of the Democratic
party by the Federal Administration been so
recklessly carried out as in this. There was a
poetic propriety in this proscription, isasmuch
as it was in Pennsylvania that the doctrine of
Popular Sovereignty was most eloquently ad
vocated by tile immediate friends of the Presi
dent, including the Secretary of the Treasury,
Bon. HOWELL Conn, (the type at that time of
a Union-loving, conservative sentiment,) who
took special pains to set forth in glowing co
lors the duty of the Democratic party on
this issue, and to pledge themselves to tens of
thousands of people that tho Administration
of Mr. Bowman, in the event of his elec
tion, would adhere to it at all hazards. This
example Was followed not only by the writers
for the press on the side of Mr. BUCHANAN,
but by all others who addressed the people.
They made Popular Sovereignty the issue,
and the single issue ; and yet, because JOHN
HICKHAN, WILLIAM MONTGONEILY, and HENRY
CHAPMAN took these gentlemen at their word
and honestly believed they were right in at
tempting to fulfil the pledges of Mr. BUCHANAN
and his organs, this same Mr. Conn, assisted by
Judge BLACK, the Attorney General of the
United States, appointed from Pennsylvania,
has sunk all other objects for the purpose of
prostrating those who dare to believe that
the President and the party wore sincere in
their declarations in favdr of a great prin
ciple two years ago ! The office-holders
of the present dynasty of the General Ad
ministration were drilled to the enforce
ment of the proscription of the Adminis
tration, and well have they answered the call
of their masters. Instructed from Philadel
phia in the east, and from Pittsburgh in the
west, postmasters and customhouse inspec
tors, and every conceivable agent and de-
pendent of the Government, enlisted for the
war, conceiving that fidelity to the treachery
of the Administration was the first dnty,
and adherence to the formally-proclaimed
principles of that Administration in 1857,
a last duty. While assisting to strike down
every man who did not follow them in their
degradation, they misted to build up all'
others who, like themselves, were ready to
surrender their manhood at the command of
Federal power.
In October, 1867, when everything was
harmonious, when Mr. BUCHANAN, Mr. COMI,
Mr. BLADE', Mr. DOUGLAS, Mr. WALKER, Mr.
STANTON, Mr. WISE, and all the leaders of
the Democratic party, North and South,
stood like a band of brothers upon
the same' principle of Popular Sovereignty,
WILLIAM F. PACKE4.:, nominated as the
Democratic candidate for Governor of Penn
sylvania, traversed this- State , addressing the
people; and wherever ho wont ho advocated
this same great principle in clear and forcible
language. Welcomed wherever ho appeared
by enthusiastic crowds, ho drove his main ad.
versary from point to point, congnerifig tho
most impregnable fortresses of the Opposition,
and ho received a decided majority over both
his opponents, and a plurality of gome forty
thousand over the Reputlicancandldate. Had
the election for Governor taken place a month
later, when JAMES BUCHANAN Suddenly desert
ed the platform upon which Wm. F. PACKER
stood with him, it is notorious that those who
supported PACKER in October would have

deserted and betrayed him at the command of
the dictators at Washington in November I
When Governor PURER was Inaugurated,
after having first exhausted every effort in vain
to reconcile his honest judgment to that of
the General Administration in its new view of
this question Of Kansas, he frankly- stated his
continued adherence to the principle in the
admirable address in which ho laid down the
policy by which he intended to be controlled.
There was no threat in the Inaugural of Gov.
Pecitun. On the contrary, he went out of
,his way to pay a compliment to the Administra
tion of the General Government, and particu
larly to its venerable head. But from that mo
ment every mercenary, every renegade from
every party who had obtained consideration at
Washington because of his ready acquiescence
in the new creed, started in full cry for the pur
pose of embarrassing and prostrating the inde
pendent Chief Magistrate of Pennsylvania.
The Attorney General of the United States, in
debted for his position in the Cabinet of Mr.
Booneume, not because he had over rendered
any service to the Democratic party, not be
cause he had ever contributed to build up
that party In the region of the State' where
he is a resident, but solely to the personal ef
forts of the men who now rally around the
standard which ho has basely deserted, thrusts
himself forward as the volunteer• calumniator
of Governor PAOICER. And it was doubtless
through him, and such as him, that Federal
officers and dependants in the different coun
ties of the State wore instructed, whenever an
occasion presented, to strike at Governor
PACKER,.
• Occupying the position, therefore, on which
ho was chosen Governor of this State in Octo
ber, 1857, and in reality; as we -have said,
making no demonstrations save in support of
this position, we now find the Washington
Union, the Washington Star, and other Janis
sary journals, holding Governor PACKER re
sponsible for tbe defeat of the Administration
of the General Government—or, as,they are
pleased to call it, for the defeat of the Demo
cratic party—at the election which took place
on the 12th of October.
Governor PACKER ought to ho proud that
be has been singled out as a victim by the
agents of Locomptonism. Like Judge Loon
or.A.s, they have marked him out for execu
tion; but, like that distinguished statesman,
we do not doubt that the blow struck at him
Will recoil with torriblo force. The people of
Pennsylvania will not fail to rally to his sup
port-as the people of Illinois have rallioitto
the support- of the intrepid DOUGLAS. All
that WILLIAM P. PAewin needs to do is to
adhere to the ground Which ho has assumed,
after a careful review of the facts, and in the"
face of his responsibility and his obligations
as a candidate before the people in 1857 ; and
not only to adhere, but to advance upon his posi
tion, and to . take still higher ground!
We had not inffiolent curiosity last night to wit•
nese the performance of Madame Gazzaniga in
" La Favorite," And therefore can say nothing
about it. Tomorrow evening the " Puritani"
will be produced, with Madame de Wilhorst as
Elvira, Brignoli as Arthur Talbot, Amodio no
Bar Georgio,.and Ettore Barth as Sir Riccardi.
It is the first appearance of these two last in there
respective roles.
We observe that Mr. McDougal is now engaged
as one or the door-keepers at tho Academy of Mu
sic. A more worthy and deserving man we do not
know, or one who can be more safely trusted.
ARCH—STREET THEATRE.—The new three-sot
comedy called "Cur American Cousin," produced
at this theatre on Monday evening, is evidently
destined to have a pretty long run. It is a drama
in which broad fun—ampetimeg even broad faros—
intermingles with sentiment and pathos. We
shall say no more of the plot than that the Ame
rican Cousin, from the Green Mountains of Ver
mont, is the life and soul of the 'piece, meddling
in every one's business, masteiliffrei*qtke'd
secret, playing upon every one's foible, arttrdoing
every ono good. There is a comic situation atthe
close of Aot 1, which brings down shouts of laugh-,
ter at has blunder. There Is a pathetic situation,
ending Act 2, in which the Vermonter draws down
tears—we bad to wring the briny fluid out of our
own kerchief six and a half times during that
scone. There is an amusing situation, ending t'he
play, in which every one marries every ono else,
and the American bolds all the tricksters and
fools and knaves of the party well in band. Mr.
J. S. Clarke played this part, and right well be
played it. Ile is rapidly becoming a first-class
performer. There is not a more improving eeter
on the stage.
Mrs. John Drew, as Florence Trenchard, per
formed, es she usually does, with ability kid
grace. The part is not much, nor did shO attempt
to make too much of it. Miss Emma Taylor* as
Mary Meredith, (looking charming, we must say,
it we have to say ft,ln a parenthesis,) played hei
part very naturally and gracefully. We ' , guess"
that many young gentlemen in that large audi
ence (the house was orowded) would have wished
to have been in the Vermonter's shoes when Em
ma Taylor offered him her hand.
Lord Dundreary, as played by Mr. Wheatley,
is made almost a loading part. At New York it
was little more than the stereotyped; fop. Bore,
it was an eccentric fop, dashed with the gentility
and quasi-ptippyism of Sir Frederick Blount, in
"Money." Mr. Wheatley has made the part.
His make-up was a feature !
Here, we aro right glad to have the opportunity
of anying that the part of Abel Afurcott, the
drinking clerk of a knavish laWyor—and a gen
tleman in the oore, notwithstanding the brandy—
was played by Mr. Dolman in a manner which, we
venture to say, could not bave been surpassed by
any actor. It was almost painfully good, but wa
beg that he will not ehangePW o'bolieve that to
see Dolman's broken-down .11,A6 dy-drinkor, the
wreck of a man, as he readelt#ould do more to
cause an aversion to into pg liquors than
twenty-two score of Temperanee traets. Mr.
Dolman shows himself, in this character, a
consummate artist.
We have, in conclusion, to notice a great chorea . -
ter--that of ihnury, the butler, represented, very
amusingly and with scarcely more than allowable
earioaturep by Mr. S. D. Johnson. A atiff-nookod,
white ehokored, white•vested, ultra pompous ser
vitor in a Baronet's holm, was to be Phown, and
we had the very actuality. Mr. Juhuson 'has hit
oft' the part to a nicety.
After this summary.eCtrr, impressions after at
tending the performanee of " Oar American Son
ata" fast night, we shall only:slid—gentle public !
let you also witness that reprigentation, if you de
sire to sae a smart piece and good tinting.

this establishment, seems to be steadily building
up a good character for it. Ilia performers' are

Letter from i‘ Oceasional.”
(Correspondence of The Prose,]
Wesiicroyox, Nov. 24.
The visits of Mr. Jefferson Davie to the North
seem to have boon pretty generally regarded as
a bid for the Presidenoy. His speeches in Port
land and Boston wore understood as being liberal
and conservative. So generally wore they thus
regarded, that from the printed versions of these
speeches the Charleston Mercury drew the conclu
sion that Senator Davis wee a sorter " Mormon,"
anti unworthy of confidence. This was only a few
short weeks since. Those, and other comments,
pro and con have aroused the anger of the
brave Senator, and, accordingly, in hie late
speech at Jackson, (Mies.,) on the 11th of
November, he denied the construction placed
upon hie speech, and went a long shot beyond
even the moat violent of the extreme men of
the South. You will no doubt pay attention to
this unexpected demonstration in due time. It has
boon the bad or good fortune of Jefferson Davis to
be misunderstood on other °condone, and to he
oompellad to angry explanations. He has, therefore,
resolved to place himself in a position about which
there can be no mistake ; and he hoe eucceeded in
doing this in hie Janksort speooh. Greatly as
Mr. Davis is respected. in Mississippi, and ex
tended as his influenoe is, I do not doubt
that at least a portion of his now pint
form will subject him to the objections
of many of the' strongest men of the South.
It is certainly a now and startling thing to
make the election of a President by the House
of Representatives, ono of the modes provided in
the Constitution, a cause of secession from the
Union; and yet such is the recommendation of
Senator Davis.
That the Union, should applaud these doctrines
was to be expected. It long ago asserted that
slavery could be introduced into the free States in
defiance of the popular will, and is therefore con
sistent in its new position.
Senator Bigler and some others are engaged In
a scheme, as rumor has it, for the establishment
of a now paper, to be devoted to.the 'new theory
of Congressional intervention in favor of slavery.
The paper is to be kept up by the usual subsi
dies, for *hioh the treasury has been bleeding for
two years Nat. I have no doubt that some such
scheme is on foot. Of its PUMPS we cannot doubt,
engineered as It will be by that astute statesman,
Senator Bigler. The paper will not be In the
least "weak in the knees."
The groat success of the Tehuantopeo route will
disappoint the intriguants in Nioaragua It is not
doubted that the .mails can be carried by the
former Isthmus to New Orleans in twelve days,
which will be a matter of vast importance to our
business interests.

Their names werolifichael Welsh and John Coffey,

worthy of notice. Nor did we pay any attention to
the harsh comments that wore reads by some of
the Opposition press, upon the probabilities of
such a course being pursued by the Execu
