happened that the very few passers-by whom
it might faintly reach, instead: of stopping (o
enquire whence it came, quickened their,
steps, frightened, by these pt range naluroal
apunds,
So it was that tho poor architect had to re
sign himself lo his lot 4 great resolution was
necessary. This tower now presented.only
a bare, unsheltered surface, and, to-make the
matter wo/se, toward eleven o’c)9ck,.o ter
rible. storm seemed to be gathering up in the
heavens. There was no possibility.of sleep
ing, and the artist .kept a reclining pp?;ure,
for, from lime Jo.iimp such gptji* passed by,
that in standing, as there was.pp parapet, he
would.certainly have been carried away, and
■till the storm came nearer.
About half past eleven it seemed to halt
just over l.ha city of Cologne, and tjio first
bursts of thunder wereiheard. . From lime lo
lime a flash which seemed to.open the depths
of the heavens, cut asunder tb» bff) v y.aea nf
clouds above, and, for »u instant, lighted up
the.river opd the town- with u.faptasiic light.
The.architect fancied, seen in this manner
that tho town look the form of a lion, the
cloud, thpt of ap eagle, and the river t,hut of
a serpent.
At a quarter before twelve, the whole
oeeap of cloud* *oomed to gather ; up to a point

tiie author’s hgencroashhemy might have

mark how it hid actualized that very idea on its
statutes, and 'reduced itld rigld practice in dealing
with Its'fettered ijiilliotis; long before the aheet that
promulgated the idea'had art existence. The Booth

and to hate if, though ’hot a tithe of the opposition
and denunciation is provoked by it, thatlhc mere nt.
te’Wnce'of the sentiment by a Catholic bta done and
ii'dning.
Wo can dee neither consistency nor honesty of
purpose in proscribing one set of men, for avowl ng
a-sentiment which another body is permitted to re
duce to practice with impunity. If Rome says—
“. Education is a curse—therefore,iho masses should
not heed a [; tted''—Tiic Protestant world is suffoca
ted with indignation. Thousands are appropriated.
to put down the Pope, and every sect is transformed
into ap engine: of wrath and projected against the
■Mon of Sin, But the South says, nay, marls,—
'“ Whoever shall teach the. masses to read, shall be
pnnislipd with fine cud imprisonment!" This
should throw the Protestant world into convulsions ;
but does it 7 Oh, no; it falls asleep under the inffu
ence of that beneficent opiate, the Democratic Idea I
In fac(, as regards the legal proscription of the
'Smith, men think—“ The law doesn’t proscribe my
children; it is meant for (ho niggers!*' Just go —
it if meant for (ho “ niggers,” hut the principle,
carried out, proscribes all. It' is a principle that
.ignores all'accidents and defies conventional barriers.
Even if il slopped With Ihd African, it is no leas’hitl

The'tt, again,Catholicism'danieS-tb men the right
to disbelieve its dogmas. It assumes the right to do
men’slhinking, lest heresies creep iirsnd choke the
true seed. 'We Protestants abhor saoh monstrous
tyranny in Romo, hot permit the South to proceed
anon the aamo assumption, and to force obedience to,
the rule, without ’ (he formality of a protest. If a
slave dares to assume that all Jmen are heir to cer
tain iailieouhh) rights — !i&, liberty and the pur
suit of happiness”—why, ho is soundly whipepd,
and pmliahly sold into a more degrading -servitude
far )iis presumption. The slaveholder asserts the
right to think for his slave as much as Romo does,
fur hers. Then where ip. the difference 7 “01‘nig
igcra" arc incapable of doing their ptyn thinking!"
says one. Bqljhp aamo is true of Rome’s millions,
if, true, at, all,, which, jvc deny ;,nt]d it is evident lha|
|in ignoring the question of slavery, the Amcriciin

it is-not very singular that’Whitfield Was elected.'
■ And-however humiliating the confession may tie, it
is true that hundreds'weni away Without voting at

Certainly, the editor of the Union will ndfapolo-'
■gize for the ruffianly acts of‘ the Missbnrisrt
rowdies who figured in the Kansas election". It is"
a fact that hundreds did cross into Kansas Ere fore
the day of election. If is h Act that hundreds cross
ed over during the day. It is a Act that they were
armedwilh knives and. pistols. It isa fact that they
surrounded the polls aidd made the right of suffrage
a matter ufidanger, and death, {I is' a, fact that
hundreds were driven, away without voting at all,
rather than resort to- violence; not docs, this prove
them lobe cowards.,.,Wo. question if the editor of
the Union, end with all deference,as lie is a military
man—would risk-his life , against that of a ro«;dy,
to deposit his vole on a common occasion, "ifct we
do not think him a cqyvurd.
It is sufficiently disgraceful that the risk of lite
became.a necessity in {lie electiort. There
were no justifying circumstance!! fur such an out
rage. It Was sintply an InviisiSn of and t'rainpiing
upon the freeftidh's dcatcSt' pVivllhge ’by a gang of

armed ruffians were justifiable in doing us they did.
If it was right there, it may be tight herb; and the
evil-disposed citizens of any county in the Stale may
go in force and control the elections in Dauphin.
Wouldn’t that be "singular?”

to increase thb fund 'appropriated to educa

forty millions of dollars, and the annual tax
alien necessary lo meet- the payment of ‘is
interest, seriously affect the great industrial
interests of the State ; drive labbr and capi
tal from the Commonwealth ; prebem the ex
tension and completion of her noble system
of’education', and the prosecution of those
laudable schemes of benevolence, which at
once benefit, dignify and adorn a free and en
lightened people, ,
Every consideration of State pride, even
motive of interest, requite its reduction ana
I speedy liquidation, by every available ana
i practicable means. To secure this -object,
rigid'economy to every department of tbs
i government { retrenchment to the public ex
penditures ; strict accountability in ail the
receiving and disbursing officers of the Cunt'
, monwealth ; and on hottest and faithful mV
• charge of duly by all her agents, would cot
; tribute much, and also save millions to me
treasury.
Created by the Slate, in the prosecution
nnd management of her system- of iniernii
improvements—n system- characterized tv
“ prodigality, extravagances and corrupt po
litico! favoritism”—the sale of these improve
ments; or at least of the “ main line,” is a
means of reducing this debt, lessening tan
lion, and saving our financial credit, has tor
many years occupied theatlenlmn ol’ihepeo
ple, and their representatives. Bills tor 'lie
sail of the main line have been passed ov
three different Legislatures, two of wmct
wore approved by the Governors then in ot
fifle. The people, on the question being suo
milled to them in 1844, decided, by a mrae
majority, in favor of the sale ? and yet these
■Works, from the defective character oi ibe
laws authorizing the sale; the restrictions con
ihiYied in them, and from other causes, remain
unsold. Pubic sentiment, founded on econ
omical,'moral'and political considerations,
still demands, and the public welfare still it
quires, their'sale.
The consideration to be paid; tbs moor,
terms and tha'sale, ought to ae
on rein Ily cdsidered. JuaV and liberal induce
menls should be offered to purchasers; whilst
al ibe some time the people should be protec
ted against wrong and imposition. By avoi
