Daring Robbery
A great robbery was committed on the night
of Saturday last, the 20th inst., by enter ing, the
stbre of Mr. Thomas B. Wilson, of this place, by
means of false 'keys. The persons, as there
Must have been more than one, from appearan
ces; unlocked the front door, entered the Store
deliberately seledied the finest and
most costly goods in the Store. They' opened
leisurely, it appears, every piece of Dress Silk,
took off the paper covers, placed them carefully
en a heap under the counter, in order, no doubt,
that their depredations shoula not be discovered
until the opening of the Store on the following
Monday. The small boxes on the shelves were
taken down and carefully examined, such that
had valuable articles in them, were completely
emptied, so that all the sewing silks, silk gloves,
stockings, &c., Were missing, but the boxes were
all carefully replaced. Among the many arti
cles stolen, are the following:
Turk's Sattin Dress Silk, Black Dress Silk,
Blue Black Silk, Black Satin Striped Silk, Fig
ured Dress Silk, Sattin Vesting, Silk Vesting,
Silk Velvet, Silk and other Shawls, 4 pieces
Black Cloth, (some of it fine,) Woolen Long
Shawls.
Upon entering the - store, on - Sunday morning,
the front door lock did not work as usual, and
Mr. Wilson had no little difficulty in opening.
This however, did not create any suspicion, but
having returned the previous evening from Phil
adelphia. he intended to take a look at the fine
goods in the Store, when lo! he found that they
were all gone. The amount stolen, is over
twelve hundred dollars. $2OO is offered for the
detection of the thief Or thieves.
Suspicion rests upon two strangers, who were
lurking about town that evening, with a square
bodied Caryall Wagon, to which n bay horse was
attached.
Thus far nothing has been discovered of the
robbers. We trust however, they will yet be de
tected, brought back, and properly punished.
Eduoation Convention
The National Common School Convention,
assembled in Philadelphia, on %Wednesday the
17th instant, and organized by appointing Hon.
Horace Mann, of Alassachusens, as President,
Delegates from over twenty Stites were pre
sent.
The proceedings of the Convention were
mated chiefly to the statements of the Dele
gates, relative to the condition of public edu
cation in the several districts, and to the dis
cussion of various plans for furthering the im
provement nod promoting the efficacy of the
system of education by Common Schools. A
number of eloquent addresses were delivered
upon the topics incident to the business of the
Convention. Resolutions were adopted for the
appointment of Committees to organise a Na
tional School Association, to prepare a Mem•
oriel to Congress, far the establishment of n
National Bureau of Education, to elicit facts
on the, subject of School Attendance, and to
- Consider the subject of School Architecture.
A meeting of the Penn Sylvania Delegation
was held in the Hall of the Controllers of the
the Public Schools, on the 18th instant, fur
the purpose of taking measures for the call
ing of a State Convention of the friends of
Common Schools. On motion of Wm. Mar
tin, Esq.-, the Hon. Thomas
.H. Burrows, of
Lancaster, was called to the Chair, and Chas.
Leib, M. D., of Schuylkill, appointed Secre
tary. The President stated the object of the
meeting, and.it was then resolved that a State
Convention of the friends of Common Schools
should be held in Harrisburg on the third Wed
nesday in January nest. A formal call was
then read, adopted, and signed by all the
members of the delegation. The following
committee of five was appointed to make
the preliminary arrangements for the meeting
of the COnverition :—Alfred C. Wright of Phil
adelphia, Edward C. Biddle of Philadelphia,
Benjamin Bannan of Schuylkill, John S. Rich
ards of Becks, and C. IL Kessler of Lehigh.
On motion, the President and Sr:r—osary were
added to the committee. It was re. ,;ved that
the Convention should be composed of dele
gates elected from the several portions of the
State, in the ratio of the representation in the
State Legislature.
Diagniqoent Carriage.
One day last week. on our way up Hamilton
sleet, we were invited to walk into the Coach
making establishment of Messrs. A.. & R. Kra
sner, opposite Hagenbucles Hotel, where we took
a look at a two horse Carriage, the most splen
did vehicle of the kind, I think we• ever saw.
The taste • displayed in the mechanism of the
running part, the art displayed in painting and
trimming, all speak for itself, and fully recom
mends the young and enterprising builders to
the fashionable public, in this particular branch
of business., The cost of the Carriage is $250,
and belongs to Cul. Thomas Craig, of Carbon
county.
Union County Poor House.--The citizens of
'Union County, at the late election,deoided against
the erection of a poor house, by a. vote of 2,750

The Telegraph
The Telegraphic line between Allentown,
Bethlehem, Nazareth, Easton, Doylestown and
Philadelphia, is now in successful operation.
Dispatches aro transmitted to and from all of
the above places, with uncommon rapidity.
The office is at present located in the rear of
Mr. C. M. Rank's law office, next door above
Moser's Apothecary Store. Persons from town
and the country wishing to communicate, will
find the operator, Mr. Thomas C. Jolly, a very
plain and unassuming gentleman, whose prac
tical experience as an operator entitles him to
the confidence of the public. The business on
this line thus far, has been quite prosperous,
and promises to yield a very good per centago
to the stockholders.

Iron Convention
The great Convention of the Iron Interest
which is to assemble in Pittsburg next month
excites,as - it - properly - should, deep and gene
ral attention. The Pittsburg American states
the following as the topics upon which infor
mation is desired :
1. The name of the furnace—of its proprie
tor and his Post Office. •
2. Location ; dale of erection and capacity in
cubic feet.
3. Days in operation in each of the last
ten years and until Ist October instant, and
also the actual tons of metal made in each
ECM
4. Aggregate of labor, in days, performed
in each year, including managers, clerks and
operatives, and of their wages.
5. The yearly sales and net proceeds realiz
ed, after deducting expeses of transportation,
and of selling, discounts,. &c.
6. The annual consumption of agricultural
products, and the. prices paid' pey bushel'
for wheat, rye and oats, delivered at the lur-
UM
7. If managed with prudent energy, and fos
tered by a ready mai ket at reasonable prices,
the number of tons of metal the furnace could
yield annually, the aggregate of labor (in days)
that it would require, and the amount of
IMMI
8. Designate whether charcoal or coke is
used for fuel, and whether propelled •by
steam or water, and whether hot or cold blast
is used.
The furnaces of each county might report to
a Committee, who should embody the infor
mation in a condensed form, and thus save
some labor in the Convention.
New Era in Iron
There has just gone into operation at Boone,
ton, a: J., a Triple Chamber, the invention of
Mr. S. S. Salters, of Newark, into the upper
chamber of which good Iron Ore (any which
does not turn out a great deal of slag) and of
Anthracite Coal, pulverized and mixed, are
placed, and, fire being applied, the coal is
consumed and the ore- melted ; whereupon it
is allowed to descend into• the next chamber,
and thence into the next, (but not emposed to
the air at any time, and finally drawn off' at
the bottom, fully transformed into Malleable
(wrought) Iron or Blooms, ready to be rolled
or hammered as may be desired. It is assert
ed by the patentees that good Wrought Iron,
Poch as would now command €-15 in this mar
ket, can be manufactured by this process at
$.30 per ton. Some very fine samples of this
iron.ore are now on exhibition at the Fair.— j

Canada Annexation
The people of Montreal favorable to the an
nexation of Canada with the United Sures,
have issued an address in favor of the project.
The address is of considerable length, and
brings up for brief discussion various remedies
which have been proposed for the ameliora
tion of the present depressed , and suffering con
dition of Canadian commerce and industry.
Alter pronouncing upon the ineffivietwy of
,those remedies to give to Canada permanent
prosperity and-social harmony, the address de
dares there is but one remedy, of all suggest
ed, which deserves serious consideration, .but
one to which the Canadian people can look
with confidence as calculated to promote - the
best interests of their country, develops . its
commercial and industrial resources,-and ter
minate those party animosities, jealousies,
strivings and scenes of bloodshed which dis
quiet and- degrade its present social system.
This final remedy consists iii a "friendly and
peaceable separation from- British connexion,
and a onion upon equitable terms with the
great North American Confederacy of Sover
eign Slates." Without the consent of Great
Britain, separation is considered neither prae-.
ticable nor desirable. But the colonial policy
of the parent State; and 'the avowals of her
leading statesmen, leave then no longer room
to doubt that it is the resolve of England to
invest them with the attributes, amigo compel.
them to assume the burdens of independence;
and they deciare that it is weakness in them
not to provide:against such intentions. There
are no harsh recriminations against England.,
the peaceful. consummation of the object is
alone sought. This temperate and considerate
address is signed by 325 names, among.whom
are Benj. Holmes, ionnerly Cashier of the
Montreal Bank, now in. Parliament, and J. G.
McKenzie, the leading Tory. Fifty are Libe
rals and the rest Tories.

Senator Cameron on Protection.
MunmsTorezt, Sept. 26th 1849
Mr Damn Bin:
• Very curtrmlly I thank you for
your friendly attention in the transmission of
the Pittsburgh Mercnry, wfierein some notice
is taken of Pennsylvania interests„connected
with my name, while a member of the U. S.
Senate
I avail myself of the occasion to express the
I hope, that "as the signs of tlre times" portend
la discussion of the tariff; during the approach
ing session of Congress, there may be no ex
citement; no party prejudices, or other false
issues raised to influence the legislative mind
of the country towards the adoption of measures
adverse to the genetal interest.
The tariff policy is of momentous importance
to.all the great industrial pursuits of our coun
try. The public good is the rule by which we
should he guided in the performance of rein
central Obit the le
gislature should invariably direct all its delib
erations. At un early day, I took lessons.in
the school of Simon Snyder on this very ques
tion of protection to the infant manufactures
of the Union; and time has had no effect to
change my views and wishes, which have
been expressed in the Senate, in favor of the
permanent establishment of a home market,
as the only solid basis of tuitional prosperity.
And here, I may add, it is very remarkable
that all the Democratic governors of this Com
monwealth, down to Gov. Shenk, have main
tained ground in favor of protection. to home
labor. Nine consecutive messages of Gov. I I
Snyder are text books to sustain and cheer the
sound portion of our Democratic friends, who
will not surrender to the free trade doctrines of
13riiish capitalists.
"We must command our own consumption
and the means of our defence," has been the
sentiment of Pennsylvania from the dawn of
independence. And as a freeman, born upon
the soil, I may be permitted to regard, with no
ordinary solicitude, the onward prosperity of
the iron, coal, and agricultural interests oh this
State.
The new settlements- being opened up in
the - far - West, embracing the Territories of Tex
as, California and Oregon, must of necesfity in
crease the Surplus proiluce,of the soil. Upon
! foreign countries our farmers can never de
pend with certainty for a permanent profita
ble market: It is therefore the safest and
wisest policy to create a home market for the
farmer, by encouraging domestic manufactures,
under such revenue laws as shall secure to
the American mechanic the rewards of his la
bor in his own market. Let the pauper labor
of Europe continue but a few years to flood our
country with the productions of foreign work
shops, and if the past history of the world fur
nish facts by which we may be guided in our
deliberations on this subject, then I venture to
predict that all the leading interests of Penn
sylvania and of the Union—the iron, the coal,
the wool, the flax, the hemp, the paper, the I
hat, the sugar, and the gunpowder manufac
tures, with others too tedious to mention, will
be entirely ruined through the length and
breadth of the land.
The doctrine of "let trade regulate itself,"
is beautifully illustrated, if it were not destruc
tive in its effects, by the present condition of
the country importing immense quantities of
British iron, although, we have at home, the
raw material in abundance, industrious and
skillful mechanics ; and ample capital to com
mand' our own consutnplion in this respect.
With these facts starring ns in the face, is it
any thing short of an insane policy to•preach
up free trade, to benefit the overgrown money
changers of Great Britain, thereby wilt - king in
jury to American labor. I feel a lively sensi
bility on this subjert, and whether I am in er
ror or not, I freely state to yon, that I look up
on the permanent and prosperous establishment
of free labor, in this country, as the most eflec-
tual means, in the mysterious operations of po•
liteal events, to subvert the thrones of hiarchies
and• despots upon the continent of Europe, and
to elevate the tnaAses of equal rights and na
tional liberty, the destiny of mankind.
These views !nand me whope., that every
man who is anxious for the welfare of onr good
old Commonwealth and for the integrity of the
Union, will stand up forprotcction of American
industry, on grounds of patriotism. We must
be wholly indepentlant of foreign supplies;
American labor must not be sacrificed to feed
the squalid operatives of Great Britian. •

The Mormons
The latest accounts from the Salt Lake re
gion inform us, that the Mormons have form
ed a State constitution, which they have traits
mined by-their delegate chosen by the Legisla
ture, Almon %V. Rabin, with a view of submit
ting it to the next Congress for its sanction. It
is said to be liberal in its character, and• pro
vides, above all, most carefully for freedom-of
conscience and religious worship. The new
State is called Dapra; signifying, in the Mor
mon mystical language, the Roney Beei Which .
is to be the national emblem, we suppose, us
it was of Napoleon; and it is a very appropri
ate one, we think, and in good taste.
Whilst forming a constitution, the Mormons
have allotted to themselves a very liberal share
of the newly-nequiretlterritory, about 300,000
square miles. ; it is enid. But this, of course,
will be subject to the final will and•discretion
of Congress. Of course they tln not expect to

The California Excitement.
The arrivals, and the gold from California
influence the minds of our people, with the
golden - narratives they firing, but more-partic
ularly the gold heart. Some Who went out in
Col. Stevenson's Regimeht witlibut a cent,
come back with their thousands. Such wrehl•
ization of golden visions am these naturally in . -
flame enterprise, and a passion for adventure,
which will be kept up for some timl3 - triebtrie.
It is stated that when the Flon..r. Buffer gir: ,
and General Smith returned to San Franeiscu,
from their visit to the mines, they estimated
that there would be from twenty to forty mil
lions taken from them the next twelve months,
or over three millions per month average; but
by the merchantS of San Francisco, this esti :
mate is set down to be too high. Meanwhile,
i '
the gold diggers rapidly increase in the mines.
The rush to California is about es large as ever,
ee-that-there - ban - be-no 2 deficit of - h - ands. - For
example, August 30th, it is stated that there
arrived in the port of San Francisco via Cape
Horn, 900 paskingers from - the United States
alone. The overland hordes were not in, but
were daily expected, though, after suffering
intense hardships.
Such news as this cannot long be without its
effect upon us. .and create more of a spirit of
speculation than we have yet seen. Indeed,
in Real Estate, as the winter approaches, and
sales begin, there stems to be a movement as
from a California impulse, if from Ito other
source. If gold is to be plenty, and the value
of money full, property of course, especially
real estate, must rise—and they who purchase
at . present prices, will realize still higher. In
the uncertainty as to the produce of the mines,
these considerations have had but little effect,
but now, it is known, these mines may yield
thirty or forty millions of dollars a year, prop
erty, and especially real property, must receive
an impulse from the Wt.
When the poor boy Whittington heard the Lon
don bells admonishing him' to return and be
Lord Mayor, his liearrwas put upon• making a
direct trial of his faith,, while at the same:time_
a glow of ambition warmed his heart. He had
suffered all the ills of petty tyranny, and jade
epair was about to adopt the life of it vagabond
when the warning came to him; a new feel-1
ing instantly took possession of his - mind, and
he resolved to makean effort on his own be
half; he did so, and as the story goes, a little
turn of good luck set him on the road to a for
tune, and•eventually made him Lord Mayor
indeed.
Here is a moral for old and young. Let all
those who have been kicked black and blue
by the foot of misfortune, resolve to endure it
no longer, but make a new effort. If one thing
goes crooked, try another, and if need be, an
other, but by all means have faith, be honest,
and "keep trying," with a good heart, and firm
resolution, and our word for it, you will suc
ceed at last!
The presence and enterprise of the people of
the United States in the Valley of the Rio Gran
de are already beginning to manifest their ap
propriate fruits. The Brownsville, Texas, Flag
gives gratifying evidence of progress on the Rio
Grande. One year ago Brownsville was scarce
ly thought of, and yet at the late election four
hundred votes were polled in the town, and eight
hundred, in the county, being a total of twelve hun
dred.
A government barge recently ascended the riv•
er to Eagle Pass, seventy-five miles above Pres
idio, and one hundred and seventy above• Lar
edo. kb speaking of the circumstance the Flag
remarks:
""The wealth of the Rio ❑ranJe is as yet al.
most unknown. What a prospect, then, is be-
fore us 1 Mr. Love, commander of the barge,
says that he would stake his Itfe. and reputation
that the river will be navigable fur 200 miles
from its month when the impediments at Presi
dio are removed, and that can readily be done at
a trifling expense."
The progress of Brownsville has had some ef
fect upon Matamoras. Several spacious brick
buildings are going up there, and a general sys
tem of repairing is going on throughout the city.

Mrs. Swisshelm on Marriage
Marriage, in our opinion, is a union which
would every hour be renewed, by the free will
of both parties, provided the State every hour
annulled it! Whenever two are really weary
of each other, 'they are no longer married, and
nobody can marry them—no combination of
men can marry them. It is a base prostitution
of the name and object of marriage, to bind two
to live together contrary to the will of each,
Nor can we see how society can possibly be
benefiated by an arrangement, which compels
the semblance of marriage, where the reality
does not exist. •
Many are of opinion, that if it were not for
the stringency of the civil law, nearly all fami
lies would be broken up, and society go into
choas. We have no such notion. If a procla
mation were made today, declaring every
I
marriage in the Union null and void, and leav
ing it once more to the choice of the parties
whether the relation be renewed, business would
be suspended, newspapers would stop, stores,
factories and woillshops would close. Tue ed
itors would be all at home getting married.
merchants, operators and mechanics Would,
each be awaiting their turn to have the nuptial
knot re-tied. Cross,
.fretful, sickly wives, that
had almost felt a burden before, would grow
very dear once more, from the thought of sepa
ration. Domineering harsh husbands would be
forgiven, and in all cases where a spark of con
jugal love remained, it would he blown to a
!lame—where nothing but dead embers are, the
ashes would be raken up, made into soap, and
society cleansed thereby.

Tall Trees.—Oregon is• the greatest lumber
country in the world. Around one mill, within
a circle of three miles, stands timber enough to
fast a hundred years, the mill all the time cut
ting 6000 feet a day. The trees are from 6to 10
feet in diameter, and some of them 300 feet high,
They are felled' into a lake, floated to the mill
three miles, sawed' by water power, and turned
out at the other side of the null, Whence a vessel
takes them to 'California. Wheat, in Oregon,
averages 66- lbs. a bushel, and Oregon Flour
brings s6;more a barrel at the goldtmines than

Cisre fur Cattle swilled tv-Wi gieta food.—The
common remedy for this disease among cattle is

A new Candidate for Admission.
When all eyes have been turued to Can- •
ada, Cuba and California, as the quarters
whence new accessions to the number of *
States already in the Union have to be look
ed for, nobody has thought of finding a sis
ter state in the heart of the great interior ba- •
sin of California, which is comparatively an
unknown country, has been looked upon al
most as a desert, and is occupied by Mor- -
mons_as_the_only_representatives of-civiliza•-•---
tion. These people driven out of the Uni
ted States by intolerable persecutions have
gone into that desert wilderness and estab
lished a city and adopted a government, elec
fed a representative to Congress, and asks
to be admitted into the Union.
;It appears by a statement of the St. Lou
is Republican that the new State is quaint
ly styled the State of Deseret, which implies,
according to the Mormon history and inter
pretation, the "Honey Bee," and is signifi
cant of Industry and the kindred virtues.
A territorial convention drafted and adopted
the constitution, which is essentially like
those of the States of the Union.
Members of the legislature are required .
to he free white male citizens of the United
States, and to take an oath to support the
Constitution thereof. The first Senate is to
consist of seventeen members, and the . House
of thirty-five members. In the Executive
Department provision is made for the elec
tion of Governor, Lieut. Governor, &c. The
judicial power is vested in a Supreme Court
and such inferior tribunals as the Legisla
ture shall establish. A Chief Justice and
- two Associates compose the Supreme Court..
The declaration of rights provides.
uThat all men have anatuml and inalieni- •
able right to worship God according to this
dictates of their own consciences, and the
General Assembly shall make no law re- •
spectin,g an establishnient of religion, or pro- •
hibiting the free excercise thereof, or diner- •
bing any person in his religious worship or '
sentiments—provided he does not disturb • ••'
the public pence nor obstruct others in their
religious worship."
The Constitution was adopted on the 10.
of March last, and the General Assembly
met on the 2d of July. Millard Snow was
elected Speaker of the House; Alfred Car- •
rington, Clerk ; John D. Lee, Assistant
Clerk ; and George D. Grant, Sergeant-at
arms. The election of officers of the Gov
ernment was held by the people on the Ist
Monday of May, and Brigham Young, the
leader of the Mormons, was elected Gover
ner; Heber C. Kimble for Lieutenant Gov
erner ; Wm. Richards for Secretary ofState ;
Wm. Clayton for Auditor of - Public Ac- •
counts; Jos. S. Heywood for Treasurer;
Almon W. Babbit was elected a delegate to •
Congress to represent the new territory.
On the 9th, the legislature adjourned si- •
ne die. Before doing so, they adopted a
memorial to Congress. in which they set
forth the reasons which have induced them
to organize u State Government. They •
cite the failure of Congress to provide a Gov- •
ernment for the territory acquired from Mex- • -
ico, the abrogation of the Mexican law the •
anarchy which has followed. "The - revel- •
ver and the Bowie-knife," they say, uhave
been the highest law of the land-the strong •
have prevailed against the weak, while Per- •
sons, properry; character and religion have •
been unnided and• virtue iniprotected." . . Fi
they* representittiarthe a
rels now suf- •
fiCient number of inhabitants residing with- • •
in the Stale of Deseret to support' . itagtate-•
Government, and to. reliever tilt Gerterall
Government from the expense ova Tenho- •
rial Government, and they therefore ask
that the Constitution,- accompanink this
memorial - be ratified, and .tharthe State of
Deseret be admitted into the Unkm, on an
equal footing with the other States,, or that
such form of Government may Lis given ter , .
them as may be deemed expedient ; and that
their Delegate mal , be received, and their'
interests properly represented, in the Con
gress
••
of the United States.
Not a word is said in' the Constitution. 4 •
about slavery or. the Wilmot proviso, such
things not having entered into the imagine- •
tions of the law-givers as important for their'
welfare.. The Constitution will be pressed
upon Congress, and if ratified, two newv
Senators and w Representative will soon..apr •
pear inlhat body, from the State of Deseret
