The alarming power of this Aristocratic Interest, and the inexorable tyranny it would enforce, is demonstrated in the fact, that no citizen* however eminent in virtue and qunli (■canons, is permitted to occupy the humblest post in the appointment of the Executive, unless he purge himself of the taint of Free dom) end bow in abject submission to the be hests of Slavery.

To resist these flagrant wrongs and aggres sions, to maintain the safeguards of liberty unimpaired, and to vindicate the rightful pow e/ of the people over their government, this appeal is made to you, freemen of Pennsylva nia, and your active co-operation invoked.— There is not a name illustrious in the history tjf yOur State, whose principles touching slave . ry, are not coincident with those that the v Republican parly now straggle to make effect- ive in the Government. That party occupies 1 before the country a truly National and con-1 "aervative position. It seeks the preservation of 6dr free institutions from the sectional and destructive policy of Slavery. It ranks war upon no interest or class ; but would preserve all interests against the overshadowing power of ohe—and the rights of every class, against the dangerous supremacy of one. It would strengthen the bounds of our National Union, hr keeping ever in view the beneficient ends for which it was established; end make that Union perpetual on the only sure basis upon Which it can test—the Constitution as inter pirtied by ita framers. The Republicans of of'Pehnsylvahia are anxious for a 1 cordial unipif of all ihc friends of Freedom fad'd to Ihl* Cntf, will regard nothing as a sacrifice, so thai their principles are effectively main tained;—those they will neither surrenderor compromise.

Still lingering “in the lap of Spring," Winter shakes his hoary locks and frowns defiantly from hill-top and house-top and Valley and woodland, “Will it ever be Spring 7" We looked down from pur window and saw the little querist—perhaps slid 1 had seen half-a-doxen Springso-tacing merrily along the walk beneath. The Safi black eye and the long drooping lathes, half hiding, half revealing their foster, seemed prophetic of few Spriogs that should gladden her brief existence. “Will it ever bo Spring ?" Yos, dreaming child, the wintry earth shall toon glow with vernal beauty. You shall pluck pale violets where the deep, grey banks of snow now lie chill and dcsolala. Those unsightly heaps are but a veil fluog by beneficent Nature over her matchless beauty. It will vanish swiftly under the humid breath and tiro genial •howera of April. Then, hopes that perished in ihe gloom of the "long and cruel winter" shall revive in older hearts than yours—revive, but Ip. pariah misersbly with the first breath of autumn. “Will it ever bp Soring f” Altai why should a i hcsrl baakiog ip the sunshine of glorious childhood, be so desirous of the swifter Sight of Tune!

Political Lflng- In co operating with men fur political purposes one does out necessarily endorse their distinctive social or theological notions. A party may 00-oper ale with another party politically,'while the .distinc tive theological dogmas of the one, may peem eillier absnrd or abhorrent to the other. When (ho would, bo wise learn (hat theology is only a theory of loti giun, and not religion itself, it is probable that they may find their faith in Omniscient wisdtjm rootsar ably increase while their reverence for, the dogmas of men as measurably decreases. Wo have beeq led into tl f i» train of thought by reading (lie following 'paragraph jront the Philadel phia Daily Newt.

Under the head of Responses from Uie Press, the. Harrisburg Telegraph gives a list of the political journals in this State, in favor of, holding off, and opposing the Fillmore nominations. The number, supporting the ticket is 96; number opposing it, 35; waiting for the cat to juipp. 93. Every Republican paper atanda opposed, while not less than 17 Amer ican papers refuse to hoist tlia names. The Phila delphia News will do well to advlae its readers ol this fact when it boasts of Die universal satisfaction with which the nominations are hailed by tlte press in ail parts of the Union, Mr. Foma bis reported a bill in the popular branch of our Legislature which may be called- an' Appropriation Bill.

Past, of this city.— It is a repeating' rifle which can be loaded and discharged thirty times in a minute. It is very light nnd convenient has but one dis charging barrel nnd does not revolve. Un der the barrel in place of the ram-rod in other guns, is a lube which receives thirty aqo'rned-shnped, water proof balls, each con taining within itself powder and percussion for propulsion. The act of cocking the piece places a ball in the breach, and the whole thirty may be discharged in the most rajiid succession. At a late trial, the gun was dis charged ten times in.ten seconds. Tha 'ball is shaped like that of the minnic rifle, nnd the gun itself is calculated as well for long dis tances as rapid firing. With the use of this eun n new era will open upon the hunters of the Western Prairies—lf it has been enjoy ment to follow a buffalo for a whole day to get a second shot at him, how bewildering must bo the excitement of shooting thirty out of a herd before thay have time to stir out of their tracks.
