On the follor.ln5 day (" 2J) Gon
Anna published a manifesto lo the nation, or
which we anbjnin a Iranalaiion :
BRNSRAL ANTONIO LOPKZ t ANTA ANNA To
lit COMPATRIOTS
Mexirans-On placing my foot on the
.bores of my country, I saline Ihcm with the
liveliest emotion. My heart has palpitated
with tenderness from the lime when my
eyes commenced lo discover around our
coasts tho lofty mountains which indicate
the proximity of n land in whuh everything
is dear to my hcait, in which everything
brings lo me ihe dearest reminiscences.
You have called me, believing me iisclul
to save you from the state of anarchy and
auperslilion into w hich you have fallen, and
I have not delayed in responding to your
summons. You already have mo on your
soil, resolved (o employ all my energies in
an object of such essential impotlance. Hut
if I have been quick lo coma at your call, it
is from reckoning upon your efficacious oper
ation. Of no use w ill bo my firm resolution
to consecrate myself entirely to the salvation
of Ihe country if every ono of you do not as-
' sist me, co-opeiating w ith ull his ability to
the attainment of these ends
Far fiom me is the thought of avenging
ancient Grievances. Those who have been
my enemies may dismiss all fear. Evety
thing is forgotten ; and in touching the shores
of my country, t present lo all tho hand of
' friendship. Neither do I come to mr.ke any
party prevail. I come not only lo raise llto
sacred standard of union, summoning lo ful
low it all Mexicans, whatever may bo their
opinions. Every man whose heait swells
and is moved at the voice of his country, he
is my friend, he is my companion.
Mexicans, loo long have we permitted
ourselves to be deceived by chimerical ideas.
We haw lost too much time in intestine
dissentions. A sad reality has come to dreg
us from such a deplorable deception. To
what have we arrived at the end of thirty
yeats of independence! Cast an eye over
the map of your country, and you will find
thai a great portion of your territory has been
lost. Examine the state of your finances,
and yau will meet nothing but disorder,
abuse, ruin
What is your credit abroad!
What is Ihe opinion which you enjoy in for
eign nations! Where is that army in whose
lines I have had the honor to serve, that
army which gained yout independence, in
which I glory of having had no small pari
that army which I lead through the deserts
conquering difficulties which appeared in
auperable, to the frontier of the Republic at
whose head I repelled an inimical invasion,
and with which I fought with little fortune,
but not without honor when your capital
was occupied by the enemy.
Mexicans, lot us become ourselves again.
Let us improve the hard lessons of experi
ence. Let us lepair tho errois wo have
committed. Here you have me to contribute
my share to this honorable reparation. Toil
with me in good faith in this glorious work,
and we may still have country, national hon
or, and a name which we will not be ashamed
lo own.
Soldier! ! comrades in arms! Behold anew
at your head your old general, him who has
conducted you sometime wiih glory; him
who has not abandoned you in ihi moment
of misfortune; him who bears on his body
an honorable mutilation, and who with you,
has exposed his breast to the balls of the en
emy in the days of yourmisfortunes. Listen
lo a voice which is not unknown lo you.
Follow your general and friend : let us restore
to our noble profession the lustre of which il
has been deprived ; and although the relations
of friendship which exist with all nations,
and which I shall cultivate with all care,
may not at present make your gallantry ne
cessary, let us be ready, should national
honor require it, to prove in tho face of all
the world what the Mexican soldiers have
always sheltered in their breasts.
Mexicans of all classes. Let Ihe day of
my return lo the country be the day of gen
eral reconciliation, and let the joy which it
causes me to find myself among you, exhibit
itself in all assembled around the national
standard, and let us hear all shout with the
same union and enthusiasm as in 1821, Viva
la par it, viva la independenca. (Long live
the country, long live independence.) These
are the wishes with which I present myself
at your call; theso the vows ol your com pa
fiol and friend.

dent of Ihe Republic for the fifth lime, by
Ihe votes of eighteen out of twenty-three
Slates and territories
Heavt Rodbert or Gold Dust. Tho po
lice authorities of New Yoik have been fur
nished with information respecting a heavy
lobbery of guld dust on board Ihe steamship
Union, which reached lhat port on Ycdues
day night. Upon opening Ihe wooden boxes,
Ihey weie found In contain shot ami iron
weights, instead of gold dust. The boxes
were double cased, and banded w ith iron,
vith seals nearly as good as new, showing
Hut the operators were skilled in their busi
lies. The amount of missing dust reaches
nearly 820,000, the insurance of which falls
upon two or three banking-houses in New-
York. The consignment to one firm is cov
ered by insurance in London. It is thought
that the robbery was committed at some
point where the steamer touched during her
homeward passage.

lit ATI! OT THE VICE PRESIDENT.
The creat destroyer has azain been
among our great men. Mortality and af
fliction seem to hover around the Presiden
tial mansion and strike upon nil who lift
their eyes to its high position. Harrison
fell a victim, within one month alter he
assumed the reins of government. Taylor
held them but a few short months. Scarcely
had the returns of the election indicated
Gen. Tierce as President elect, when, in
the height of his triumph, his only child
was taken lrom him by a bloody and sud
den death. Our late President Fillmore
had just laid aside the robes of office, when
the partner of his joys and sorrows was
called to a higher mansion. Ere her mor
tal remains were entombed, the venerable
Cass was called home to mourne a similar
bereavement. And now, ere he has exer
cised the first ol his official duties the Vice
President of our Republic is numbered
with the dead.
The news of his elevation came to him
while Death was fast closing his toils close
ly around him. Hope had deserted him,
and Ihe urgent entreaties ol friends induced
him to try if the balmy air of Cuba could
restore him. The 4th of March found him
unable to take his place in the chair of Ihe
Senate, and under the waving palm trees
of Mantanzas he received the only official
oath ever taken by an American citizen on
foreign soil. Scarcely ble to travel, he
reached his home at Caliawba, Alabama,
on Sunday evening, exhausted and almost
lifeless. lie came there only that his last
breath might be exhaled at that spot tu
which all turn iheir eyes in sickness and
death. lie died there on the following
day, in the G6th year ol his age.
William R. King was born in North
Carolina; which State he represented in
Congress from 1811 to 1816. He thence
moved to Alabama. From 1819 to 18 H
he was in the United Statei Senate. He
was ininiiter to France in 181, and
continued there until 1817. On his return,
he again took his seat as Senator from Al
abama and continued in that office until he
waselectej Vice President.
In public andjuivate lile Mr. King bore
... . . i ii . .
a nih and nouie reputation, no a
alike distinguished for integrity and bril
liant and profound talents.
The office of Vice President it now va
cant. Mr. Atchefon of Missouri is pro

Tho visit of the legislature of Maryland,
with .Ihe authotities of the city of Baltimore,
to this place, in pursuance of an invitation
from tho legislature of Pennsylvania, came
off on Saturday last. They numbered in all
about 300 guest,and arrived about 12 o'clock
M. After a formal reception at Ihe Capitol
and a speech by Gov. Bigler and others, they
adjourned to meet again at 3 o'clock, and
then piocceded to the Exchange where the
Banquet was prppaied. Tho room was en
tirely too small and was crowded to excess,
though less than 300 of about 500 guests
were accommodated, the rest being provided
for in some of the other Hotels. I certainly
did not think the banquet at the Exchange
any great shakes, considering Ihe price gen
eraly paid when the Stale is paymaster and
the accomodations afforded. Tho viands
were only ordininary, while the champagne
was haidly that, and yet Ihe bills foot up, in
the ngfjrcgale, to the tune of six thousand
dollars, or about $12 per head. Truly this
is a fast age and we are a fast people. Some
of Ihe members of the Legislature kick at
these charges and say they w ill refer the ii,at has occurred fiom this vile and sacrile
bills to the Auditor General who will require j gious practice in our borough, and has caused
a bill of items regularly sworn to. A num-j considerable sensation among our people
ber of excellent speeches were made at the Ho has been conveyed lo the Pennsylvania
banquet, by John C. Kuukle, Esq , General
Packer, General Cameron, Gov. Bigler, and
others, from this Stale and Maryland.
The last days of the session of Ihe legisla
ture are always attended with much interest,
as well as confusion and excitement. Many
impprtanl bills are hurried through in the
Omnibuss form. One made up of thirty sec
tions, on thirty different subjects passed
this morning. The present legislature is not
the most distinguished body in the woild.
There are, as is generally tho case, a few
a jle and business men in both branches, upon
w hom devolves neatly nil the business of leg
islation. Of these I may mention Messis.
Buckalew of Columbia and Kunkcl of our
district, Dauphin and Northumberland ns the
most prominent Mr Slifer of Union county
may also be mentioned as one of the business
men of the Senate. Mr. Slifer makes no
pretensions to oratory, but his intelligence
and practical business habits have earned
him a well merited reputation. In regard to
our own representative, Mr. Bergstresser, il
is but simple justice to say that he has, du
ring the session, exhibited a degree of tact
and shrewd. ess in legislation that would
have done credit to a more experienced
member.
The Sennte, this morning, elected John C
Kunkel, Eq., Speaker of the Senate, a posi

Washington. Anril 19. The death of
9 I
Vice President King, was announced this
morning, and cast a gloom over the city.
Flags were placed at half-mast and business
generally was suspended.
Titr. Hon. Vm. A. Graham was near be
ing killed on tho 12th instant, on his way
from Raleigh to Hillsborough, North Carolt
na. He got out of his buggy lo arrange
some part of the harness, when his horse look
fright and run off, throwing him down, and
drawing the wheel of the bnggy over him.
Fortunately this occurred near the place
where some hands were at woik on lhr rail
road, and one of them assisted him home.
which he reached about ten o'clock at night
It was found that he was severely bruised
and cut upon the face and other paits of his
body. We are happy lo learn that ho is iin
proving, and we hupp that he will soon en
lirely recover fiom the injury.
One Vote. Within ihe last dozen years
Ihe Governor of Massachusetts was twice
elected by a majority of one. A recent pa
per says that a singlo vote sent Oliver Crorn
well lo the Long Pnrliment, Charles Stuart t
the scaffold, revolutionized England, and
madu Great liritain free. Ono vote gave us
the turifl in 1842, and one vote made the
tatifl of 1816. One vote gave us Texas, and
mado war with Mexico, and purchased Cali
fornia, turned I hi t tier Ihe tide of emigration,
and will change the destiny of Ihe world.
Those who are in the- habit of excusing
themselves from attending elections, in the
belief that one vote will not make much dif
ference, will do well to treasure tip these
facts, and act under their influence.
Another Victim. The Ilarrisburg Union
of Wednesday last, says: We learn that
Mr. Christian Suavely, aveiy worthy and in
dustrious citizen of this borough, has become
insane on the ridiculous and absurd object of
Spiritual Rapping.'. This is the first instance

We trust that this sad result may prove a
salutary warning to all who have made a
practice of attending spirit lapping meelingw,
and giving countenance to this baso and
wicked system of imposition.

TILL ANOTHER MI RIIER IN PIHUADEL-
'MIA.
Another shocking murder was committed
about 8 o'clock on Sunday averring last
The circumstances, as we have heard them,
re an follows: Soley and O'Neal were ac
quaintances. On Sunday afternoon Soley
called for the latter, at his home, and they
proceeded together to Jennings' tavern, on
Bristol street, a road lending from the tier-
mantown road lo tho Fraukford road,
about five miles from Ihe city
At tho tavern Ihey drank freely, and both
Dccamo somewhat intoxicated, boley was
the most under the influence of liquor. The
parlies got lo high words, and became exci
ted ; in Ihe course of the quarrel O'Neal
struck Soley, and drew blood; the latter said
that he would have satisfaction from any
man who drew blood from him. Tliey then
left the house, and blows again passed be
tween them before Ihey reached Ihe gale
leading lo the yard of tlie tavern. In this
affray O'Neal drew a three cornered diik
knile, and stabbed Soley in the region of the
heart, at the same lime exclaiming, "is that J
enough 1" The wounded man replied lhat
it was, and that tho other would find it
enough when he was on the gallows. Soley
died in about three minutes.
O'Nual was immediately taken into cus
tody by some citizens, who lied him, and
took him before Nicholas Biouse, Esq., a
justice of the peace for Oxford township.
The murderer was kept in confinement until
yesterday morning, when ho was taken be

was fiuul ly committed (o prison lo await his
trial.
The murderer is about twenty-thrco years
of age; ha is an Irishman by biiih, and n
weaver by tiade ; he was employed in
Whittakcr's Cotton Mills, on the Tacony
Cieek. He is tnanied and has two children-
Yesterday morning the wretched man was in

Soley was an American. He was also
married, and leaves three children In mourn :
his untimely end. The deceased was cm-
ployed at Roland & Hunt's Rolling Mill, on
tho Tacony Creek.
. The affaii caused a good deal of excite
ment al Ceder Grove, where it occurred.
Diunkenness was al Ihe bottom of tho w hole
matter, and it affords another proof of tho
evils of intemperance.
The body of Ihe murdered man was suf
fered to lay out exposed upon the piazza '
of the tavern dm ins the entire ni"h. !
through tho ignorance of the persons who
- n i
were nboul the place. ' Thev were fearful
of touching it until the Coroner should ar

SiNGULAa Disci.osvar.sor Arthur Sprino,
We learn that in the course of yesterday,
the Grand Jury paid their official visit lolho
County Prison, and that Arthur Spring hear
ing of it, sent for the foreman, Andrew Mo-
Makin, Esq., and made a- voluntary state
ment lo him concerning the Rink murder,
with which ho is now very generally char
ged. His story, is (and hero wo may re
mark that it is about as truthful as his story
of the Federal street tragedy) thai on Ihe af
lernoou of the murder he was passing down
Chesnut street, and on approaching the shop
of Joseph Rink, he heaid murder cried. Ho
arns.
M
at once went in, and in doing so a man with
bushy whiskers rushad out by him.
He went in and found Rink lying on his
back on the floor, and he exclaimed to him
that he had been killed. He (Spiin) took
him by the hand and raised him up, his own
hand getting bloody w hile doing so, and then

To the Editor if the JYeii' Voi7; Tribune :
Permit me, through your paper, to make
known to the fanning part of the communiiy
a perfect cure and preventive of the J'ofafo
Jo', having tested H thoroughly four years
with neifect success ; while other in the
arne field, who did not uso tho preventive,
lust iheir entire crop by the rot. Il not only
prevent the rot, but restores the potato to it
primitive vigor, ami the product is not only
sound, but double ihe size, consequently pio
duciug twice the quantify on the 6ame
ground, and the vines grow much larger, and
retain their freshness and vitality until the
frost kills them. Aside from the cine of the
rot, the farmers would be moie doubly com
pensated for their trouble and expense lulho
tiici rase and iiuantit u of tho crop. It being of
such vast importance for the farming pari of
the community to know the scciel ol the pre
ventive iu time lo save the coming crop of
potatoes, 1 hasten its publication, iu order lo
give lliem a chance to try it, if they see pro
per, the present season, tiusling entirely to
tho public gratitude to lewarj me, as they
may see proper, al their next Annual i-air
for Ihe discovery, after they have tesfed the
merits ol tho preventive. Thfl remedy or
preventive of the poni rot is as follow : lake
one neelc of line sail aim mix n uiuruiigiiij
- . . .1. Ul..
with half a bushel ot Ioea ncoiia piaster or
cwjistim, (the plaster is the besi) and imme
diately after hoeing ihe potatoes the- second
time, or just as the young potato begins lo
sot, sprinkle on the main vine next to the
ground, a lable-spoonful of the above mix-
lure to each hill, and ba ure to get it on the
main vines, as it is found lhat Ihe rot pro.
ceed from a sting of an insect in li e vine,
and the mixture coming in contact with Ihe
vine, Ulls ihe effuct of it, before it reaches
Ihe potato. Farmers would do well totiy it(
as tbey would be well paid for their trouble
by Ihe increase of their crop as well a the
quality of the potato. Try it and see. could,
if necessary, furnish ample certificate to
substantiate the above, but deem it unneces
sary, as it needs only a trial to prove il.
