ON LEGAL
Extract from Hia Opinion in the Caae of
Borie ts. Trott.
"On the whole, then, I am of opinion that
the provision of the act of Congress of Feb
ruary 25th. 1802. declaring the notes issued
in pursuance of that act to be lawful money,
and a legal tender, u uncokbtitutional.
"This renders it unnecessary that I should
consider the other question which hag been
made, as to tho effect of the special agree
ment to pay in lawful silver money of the
United States. I am in favor of entering
judgment for tho pluintiff, but as a majority
of the court are of a different opinion, judg
ment for the defendant." Coined from the
l'hilulelphia Aye of 23d of Feliruary, 1804,
where the opinion is published in full.
It may also be found in the Legal Intelli.
yeneer of March 18, 1804, page 02.
In the sauio copy of tho Aye is a carefully
prepared eulogy of the judge and this opin
ion, in which is the following :
"Judge Sharswood reasons upon and de
cides the case as if he were some lofty spirit
sitting far above and out of the contentions
and strifes of the world."
Will not the holders of greenbacks and
Government bonds consider the judge as
quite too elevated and ethereal for such
earthly honors as a seat on the Supreme

TO THE VOTERS OF NORTHUMBER
LAND COUNTY.
Whereas, False reports are being circu
latcd throughout this County as to my in
tcutions, and probablo action, in the matter
of tho "Special County Pomck Law" in
cose I am elected a member of the Lcgisla
turc : Therefore, I feel justified in present
ing for your consideration a resolution pass
ed by tho Republican Union Convention of
Northumberland County, September 0th,
1 807, as follows :
"Resolved, That our candidate for As
sembly bo instructed, if elected, to exert
himself to secure such a modification of the
present law establishing a Special County
Police Force, as will reliuve tho County of
tboir support."
I accepted tho nomination with a full
understanding of the instructions contained
in the foregoing Resolution, and pledge my
self (if elected) to do all in my power to
have the law so changed as to relieve the
County of the tax imposed by tho law as it
now stands.

Bhamokin, September 30th, 1607.
fTns Dbmocbat asd tub Police
Bill. Our neighbor of the Democrat is
quite rampant, in his lost issue, on the Po
lice question in this county, and states that
Mr. Fiske had actually put his name to a
petition to have the law passod, and that
the citizens of this county were put to an
expense of 800,000 per annum for the sup
port of the police. Every one knows the
condition the coal region was in when thc
Act was passed, and no one doubted the pro
priety of having an effectivo tolica force for
tho protection of life and property in those
districts. But how they are to be eompen
sated has been in dispute between tho police
and the County officers. Mr. Fiske is pledged
to have tho law modified so that it will
not full upon tho tax-payers of the county
for tho payment of the salaries of these ofll
cers. Would it not bo well for every voter
to consider, before voting, which would ac
complish the most in tho Legislature, Mr.
Fuke pr Mr. Kase. If Mr. Ease is elected
he will bo in the minority, and of course
cannot effect anything. Elect Mr. Fisle and
he is mire to accomplish all that we may asl;
and you canjiel amired that the present late
will be inodijUd.
CiPoLiTiCAL Assessments. We learn
that tho Chairman of the Standing Com
niittcu of tho modem Democracy of this
county is sending written notices to all
Democratic township officers, politely in
forming them that they have been assessed
certain amounts for "political purposes," and
thut immediate payment is requested. One
of these officers suggests that, as this is an
excellent plan to carry elections in the coal
regions, it might be well enough to make
un additional assessment, of a similar char
acter, to raise funds to defray the expenses
of the police force in this county.
C-ff Gen. Grant refused to supply
Swann, of Maryland, with cannon. Grant
is right in refusing, for the reason that we
may need all our cannon to put down John

wicked efforts to overthrow the government :
Is it not notorious that the Democratic party
of tho South precipitated the rebellion, and
is it not equally notorious that the Demo
cratic party of tho North gave that rebellion
materiul aid and encouragement that pro
tracted its existence t There can be nothing
plainer than the fact that the Democracy,
next to thc rebellion itself, is responsible for

cinnati, on Friday night last." Northum
berland County Democrat.
2r"As tho speech of Mr. Grant is not
lengthy, the editor oi thc Democrat must
have forgotten to publish what he said.
Richard Smith, Esq., is the Republican
nominee for Congress, in the dfltrict where
Mr. Grant spoke, and the reader is intro
duced to the following, which ve find in a
Cincinnati paper :
"Mr.' Carey was succeeded by Mr. J. R.
Grant, the General's parent, who made the
following remarks :
Gentlemen The lateness of thc hour pre
vents me from making a speech. Between
thc two candidates for Congress, Mr. Smith
and Mr. Carey, I will only say that you can
judge them by their record. While one
opposed the war, and did everything he
could against it, the other favored it, and
did everything he could for it. If this is a
Democratic meeting, I advise you all to
vote for Smith." ,
This short speech ot the "old man" fell
like a bomb-shell among tho Copperheads,
and the meeting adjourned in confusion.
The La Crosse Democrat, one of tho most
widely-circulated and populnr of thc Copper
head journals of the West, conies out fairly
in favor .of repudiating tho National debt.
In this it is only a few steps in advanco of
Vallandigham, Sharswood, and most of thc
other Democratic leaders in Pennsylvania
and Ohio. The Democrat states the case in
these words :
"We demand, in behalf of the toiling mil
lions of America, Repudiation of the Na
tional debt, and will have nothing short of
it.
"There will bo no psyment of the Con
federate debt,or tht work teat not done for
vhich fay vq promised.
"And, mark our words in less than two
years the deed will be done your fancied
moneyed securities will be but chaff and
the laud will be free from all such swindles

There aro a good many Democrats in

less money invested in Government securi
ties, which this influential Democratic edi

Voter, Bear Thin la Mind.
The election in Pennsylvania on Tuesday
next, is to decide more than the success of
candidates for the State and county officers.
Contests at the ballot-box are decided upon
principles, whether political parties so will
it or not. The people of the South who
armed lor tne destruction oi the Uovernment
were whipped on the battle field. Tbey
resorted to the sword as an arbiter of the
difference which could have beeu adjusted
wituout Us aid and tuey were defeated. But
they are not satisfied with the overthrow in
battle, they are not content with the logic of
war. The ballot-box is now to decide still
further the injustice of treason ; the power
and ability of those who believe in strong
government. It is necessary that every voter
know that there ias much force in a ballot
as in a bullet when the contest is between
loyal men and traitors. The people of Penn
sylvania must decide with the ballot as they
did with the bullet, w hether or not traitors
shall control the Government. We must
decide whether Northern ideas of good gov
ernment, of order, peace and observance of
the law shall prevail, or whether Southern
ideas of resistance to the law, encouragement
of disorder, defiance of the authorities, mur
der.arson and revolution shall be established.
This is the issue of the contest now waging
in rennsyivama.
Tue election of Sharswood will be the be
ginning of a depreciation vf the national
credit, a repudiation ot the national debt,
an entailing of a lack of confidence in na
tional business, national bankruptcy and
national ruia. 'A vote for Sharswood will
vindicate the right of a State to accede from
the Union, the righteousness of rebellion,
the unconstitutionality of cocrcintr a sover
eign State and the bloody unkindness of
saving the Union, the unconstitutionality of
uovernment legal tender Botes, the repudia
tion of the debt tucurred to erush rebellion,
the compensation of slave-owners for eman
cipated chattle, the repeal of all pensions to
disabled soldiers and the widows and or
phans of soldiers. Such will be the result
of a vols for Suaiswood.
FBII.ADXZ.FHIA ' ' MANUFACTURES.
' We are somewhat astonished to notice
that the Quaker City of Philadelphia puts
forth t claim to being, not only the greatest
manufacturing' city on this! continent, but,
with the exception or London the greatest
in the world. We are all familiar with its
advantages as a qnlet and pleasant place of
residence J but that it should claim to bo
great industrial centre, will be news to many.
As the matter is one, however, in which our
merchants are directly interested, and the
consnmers of goods indirectly, we will give
a brief synopsis of its claims.

there were in Philadelphia, 0,208 manutacto-
rics having a capital of $78,318,885, which
employed 08,000 hands, and produced an
annual valuo of $130,000,000. Recently ,Mr.
Edwin T. Freer.', ley, a well known author,
has prepared a volume of 700 pages, on the
Manufactures of Philadelphia, and demon
strated that, in 18C0, the lactones produced
over tiro hundred millions of dollars of staple
good. This is an astounding exhibit; no
j aiassitcuusi-Us, including Boston, Lowell,
BD(i B her famous manufacturing towns,
did cot produce more than two hundred and
forty millions. In 1800, New York hud only
seven small Cotton UooUs Manutactories,
and no Woolen mills; Philadelphia is now
the commercial centre of two hundred and
sixty Cotton and Woolen factories, aud has
besides, several thousand hand looms, of

Thc cBBg of Dr. Goods manufactured in
Philadelphia is of those low priced staple
goods, which are especially adapted to thc
wants of the people in the Middle, Western,
and Southern States. Millions of yards of
Pantaloonary. Cottonaucs, Checks aud
Stripes. Tickings. Osnaburgs, Kentucky
Jeans, and Narrow Textile Fabrics, are made
there every year. Ot Curpetings, tne pro
duct amounts to nearly ten millions of dol
lars; of Ready Made Clothing, to eighteen
millions'; of Refined Sugar, over twenty
millions ; of Boots and Shoes, over five mil
lions ; of Stoves nearly threo millions. Phil
adelphia claims to have the largest Military
Goods Manufactory, the largest chemical
factories, tho largest Corduge factory, the
largest Bookselling house, and the largest
Locomotive Works and Alacmno suops in
the United States. It is quite evident, that
her proximity to the Coal Mines and Iron
Beds, her low rents and facilities afforded
mechanics for comfortable and economical
living, have given Philadelphia a start in
manufacturing, which nothing but her want
of enterprise can retard. It is moreover
evident that with the progress already made
in manufacturing, the Philadelphia market
is worthy tho attention ot tuose who wish
to purchase goods at first band.

DELPHIA, IN UEKERAL MEETING, SEPT.
18, 1807.
Whereas, The League was organized for
the purpose of sustaining tho National Gov
ernment, and the measures adopted by its
authority for the suppression of the rebel
lion, and of discountenancing by all proper
means and influences that disloyal spirit
which was in sympathy with slavery and
treason, and animated all the conventions
and councils of the Democratic party.
And whereas, The efforts of the Demo
cratic party, now led by a weak and faith
less man in tho accidental exercise 01 the
Presidential office, to keep alive tho spirit
of rebellion by a war upon Congress, by the
nullification of the laws, by insidious at
tacks upon the public credit, and by their
apparent sympathy with prominent traitors,
provo that the work of loyalty is not yet
accomplished, and admonish us of Berious
dangers to the public peace, which would
be greatly enhanced by the success of that
party in the popular elections now at hand.
1. Therefore Resolved, That we do
most earnestly invoke the loyal citizens of
Pennsylvania to a serious consideration of
our present political condition, and to tho
importance of a united and vigorous effort
to hasten the reconstruction of the Union.

2. That the laws passed by Congress hav
ing for their object the reconstruction of thc
Uuion on the basis of liberty and justice to
all men, reflecting as they do the loyal sen
timents of the country, offer to the people
of the South the most favorable terms, upou
which they can reasonably hope to be rein
vested with the rights tbey voluntarily re
linquished, iu their mad attempt to destroy
the government which conferred them.
3. That the public acts of Congress under
the Constitution are the supreme laws of the
land ; tuat it is no less the duty ot the i'resi
dent to see that they are faithfully executed,
than it is of thc people to obey them ; that
whether those laws relate to the reconstruc
tion of the Union or to other subjects, every
uttempt of the President to frustrute or delay
the execution of them, is a violation of his
trust and an abuse of the power of his office,

And the recent proclamation of amnesty,

for the purpose of restoring to influence and

bellion, and who are yet under an oath of
allegiance to a government unknown to the
constitution, which they hope to re-establish,
are acts wuicu constitute prima facta, such

the loyal citizens of Philadelphia and of the
Commonwealth, to attend the polls at the
approaching olection, and cast their votes
for the candidates presented by the Repub

Resolved, That we do most especially
and earnestly recommend the election of
Henry W. Williams, of Pittsburg, to the

Philadelphia, visited thut city on Wednes.
day last, and met with the grandest recep
tion ever extended to any one with the ex
ception of Abraham Liucoln. We take the
following paragraphs from the Pre$ account
of the affair :
On his appoarancc outside of the depot
there were vociferous cheering by the im
mense crowd there congregated. A piece
attached to the Keystone Battery thundered
forth thc customary salute due thc rank of
a major general. Ashe seated himself in
the carriage the mass of people commenced
crowding around it, graspiug him by the
hand. A detail of policemen immediately
surrounded the vehicle and pressed the
crowd back. The line of escort was then
formed, which occupied about fifteen miu
utcs, during which time the spectators, were
constantly cheering the distinguished guest
01 tne city, wuo stooi; up and bowed bis
acknowledgements.
1 he sidewalks and streets atoni; the en-
tiro route were one surging mass of humaui
ty, who were anxious to obtain a look at
Sheridau. A large number of houses were
brightly illuminuted from basement to gar
ret, the windows being occupied by ladies,
who displayed their appreciation of the
gallant General by waving their handker
chiefs. Ho remained in a standing position
in his carriage, and was kept busily engaged
in responding to these testimonials.
Tho Union League House was brilliantly
illuminated. Over the top was extended a
a row of gas-jet stars, while at the third
story wos "Washington." Underneath tho
second-story windows was "Union," "Sheri
dan," "Liberty." Over the door-way was
another row of stars. The pillars and rail
ing leading up to tho main entrance were
handsomely draped with red, white, and
blue bunting. The windows were crowded
with ladies and L'cntlemcn. who erected the
General with cliccriut; ami wavinu- hand
kerchiefs. As ho pasted by, there was a
tine pyrotechnic display rouiau candles
and rockets in indescribable numbers beinir
set off. The scene at this point of tho route
was perfectly graud.
In the eveniug a urand bunmict was ten-
dercd General Sheridan, at the Continental
Hotel, by the committee ol arrangements of
Councils. Muy or McMichael presided, aud
in a speech, in that genial strain of eloquence
ana goou numor lor wuicu be is renowned,
introduced General Sheridan to tho guests.
General Sheridan was loudlv called for.
and gave four reasons why he was delighted
witn tne city 01 iirotherly t,ove the first
of which was the fluttering speech of the
major, ine second tne grand ovation ten
dered him, the third the galluut troops and

the fourth the patriotic body of gentleman
known throughout tho luud us the Union

Speeches were made by other distinguish
ed gentleman, among whom was Senator
Cameron, Gov. Fletcher, of Missouri, and
uen. Aieaae.
On Thursday a formal reception was civ
en to Gen. Sheridan, at Independance Hall,
and thousands of the citizens of Philadel

CorretpondeDC of The Philadclpliiu City Item.
I sm no alarmist, but 1 am sure thcro is
something afoot in Maryluud, which ought
to be looked to by loyul people. The act
ing President find Gov. Swann are in poli
tical partnership, and ere long we shull nave
an announcement from them. Swunn has
been spending betwixt $300,000 and $400,
000 in cannon, muskets, aud uniforms, for
his Maryland militia the army which is to
take possession of Washington and drive
Congress out. Maryland, you kuow, is an
impoverished State, and stands in sore need
of thc monoy thus spent but Swnnn seems
to be master of the situation. He intends
to make war on somebody, for something,
at no distant period. The People of Penn
sylvania should ponder these things. The
licit way to intimidate Treason, is to gice an
overwhelming majority for the liipuhlieaii
ticket. See to it, friends of Freedom, that
etery Ivyal tote is polled. We are still fight
ing the Rebellion. Tho Democrats at the
North, who aided anil abetted Treason, aro
as rancorous and wicked as ever. Beut them
this time, at the ballot box, and they are
helpless for somc'time to come. Should
Pennsylvania go for the Copperheads, John
son would immediately put on his war paint,
