Pennsylvania, Tennessee and. Alabama, have
this system of banking ender.coniideration,
and we have no doubt it will be adopted in
each of the States named. It is, without doubt,
4he safest system of banking ever invented ;
• and if adopted with such restrictions as our ex•
~perience has shown to be necessary, the bill
dividers, and therefore the public generally, are
.better protected than in any other way. Gold
and silver, represented to be in the vaults of
any bank; are a very poor protection to the bill-
rbolders, as file . probability is, that when it is
most:wanted it.cannot be found; and as for
ihe capital'of. banlts.istablished under the old

'exception of banks in large cities, not one bank
iina &wired could,. upon presentation, redeem
a fiftieth . part of its issues. Under the State
Attock„Systerit_ the redemption of every bill is
zuatantied. The issues are good for their face
while the hank is in operation; and in the
ievent of a suspension, they are worth more
than their face, for, if properly protested, they
draw interest at the rate of eighteen per cent
iper annum. • 9pponents of this system point to
she failures that occurred in the early stages of
its operation, as evidence of its imperfections,
4.1k0.. We admit that when this law was first
adopted in, this State, it was very imperfect;
but the greatest defect was in making bonds
and mortgages, and the stook of insolvent, delin
quent States, the basis of the circulation. Since
the•fadUres and tosses on issues • which were
•
caused by the depreciation of the stocks of oor
delinquent States, the law has been much im.
proved, and the issues of , banks established
under the law, as it now stands, are better and
safer than gold and silver. United States and
New York State stocks now form die basis of
the circulation of free banks in this State; and
if there is any better security in the wide world,
we 'would like
. 4) see it. Members of the Le
gislature of Pennsylvania should bear in mind,
when they are pointing to the operation of the
law in this State, soon after it was first adopt
ed, that it was. the delinquency of their own
Slate, (the stock of which was received in de
limit for 'circulating notes, at its par value,)
more than 'anything else, that canoed such se

Commonwealth This was an action brought
vit. for selling liquor without Li-

arraigned, plead guilty. The Court sentenced
the Defendant to pay a fine of $3O to the Com
monwealth for the use of the County of Lehigh,
and the costs of prosecution.
Commonwealth Assault and Battery, on
• vs. oath of John Bessey. The
Charles Detweiler. grand Jury returned a 'true
bill,' and the Defendant, on being placed on his
trial, plead "not guilty," but the evidence was
too strong and the Defendant was convicted of
the charge.- --The Court sentenced him to pay
a fine of one dollar, to the Commonwealth for
the use of the county, undergo an imprison
ment in the County Jail for 20 days, pay the
costs of prosecution, give bail, and stand com
mitted until the sentence is complied with.
Commonwealth Larceny. The grand Jury,
vs. • in this case returned a "true
Michael Rouch. bill." The Defendant upon
being placed upon trial, plead "not guilty."
He appears to have taken possession of a horse,
belonging to Mr. Andrew Kromer, without his"
knowledge or consent, and having sold him
and pocketed the funds, as appears from the
evidence before the Jury. The Defendant stood
without an excuse or apology before the Court,
and the only defence was, that since he had
taken the horse, he had shaved off his whis
kers, and on that ground denied his own iden
tity. The Jury however appeared to be sat
isfied of his guilt, And, whiskers or no whis
kers, returned "a Verdict oreguilty" against
him. The Cciurt sentenced him to pay a fine
of one dollar:for the use of the County, restore
the property, if not done so already, and un
dergo:fp:imprisonment in the Eastern Peniten

Thu Defendant in this case is a school teach

way of repremand committed a violence with
the 'birch' on the back of Sarah, to which mode
of leaching her father seriously objected. The
matter was brought before the grand Jury, who
returned the same thus: "Not a true bill, the
county to pay the prosecution."

George C. Hand. in this case returned a "true

Ohio and the Union.
A 'petition was recently introduced in the
Ohio Senate praying the Legislature to declare
the Union dissolved, and was referred to the
appropriate committee. The committee, a few
days ago, reported the proposition, traitorious
and disloyal. It,is not a thing to be reasoned
upon. The perpetuity of the union should be
assumed—regarded as a fixed fact, not to be
debated--or questioned upon. Attachment to
the Union should be a feeling, a sentiment in
every American bosom. It should be instinc
tive. The American should imbibe it with
his mother's milk. It should grow with his
growth, and strengthen with his 13trengfit—be
the confident of his youth, the pride of his
manhood, and the solace of his old days. Next
to the duties which an American owes his God,
are the duties he-owes to his country., .The
first of those is, to preserve the Union ; the Se
eend, preserve the Union ; the third, preserVit
theNniort. The value of the Union cannot be
calCulated; if it could, Ohio could show hoW
vastly important that Union is to her. When
the first President of the United States, the Fa
ther of his countrf, was about returning from
that high office to which the partiality of his
grateful countrytnen • hid twice unanimously
called him, he addressed to them.anaffection
ate letter, prompted only by the great love he
bore to the people he had saved, and contain
ing sentiments which should be perpetually
cherished by the Ametican people. This pa

dress, and bearing date September 17, 1796,
should, next to the Bible, be the daily reading
of our people. His warning voice must not be for
gotten, his counseirontemned and disregard
ed, before any one can be willing, to raise a
parricidal hand against the Union of these
States. The committee, with this resort, pre
sented a resolution that the memorialists have
liberty to withdraw their memorial, and direc
ting the Secretary of State to cause to be prin
ted. an .Edition of Washington's Farewell Ad
dress, to be distributed to each School District
in the State.
The Course of Life
The cou4e.of life is much the same now
as it was centuries ago. Shakspearo has de
scribed the seven ages. Ai it was in the be
ginning, so is its rtow. Youth has its passions
and • enjoyments, its follies and excitements.
Age tooks down with supreme contempt upon
the presumptuous intelligence of youth, and
youth ; in turn, regards the wisdom and expe.
rience of age, as the recollection of past and
exploded prejudices. But it should not be for
gotten that, although the ocean once traversed
by packets alone, and now crossed by Steam
ers, the roads once travelled by horses and sta :
ges, are now "sped over by Locomotives, nre
still the same, governed by the same laws, and
controlled by the same influences. The march
Of improvement, the discoveries of science,
the power of invention, have succesfully ap
plied the means which always existed, with
out, in the least altering the material of action.
Man and the world still remain the same. Man
has not altered, btu as he was in the beginiug,
so is he now.
Yet it would be difficult to induce youth to '
listen so the•advice of old age. There is only
one teacher to whom he will pay respect, and
that is Experience. To every one the lessons
of experience will sooner or later come, laden
with the penalties of dissappointment, regret,
and punishment. One by one, in a series ne
ver ending until his death, man is taught the
great truth to be' demanstraled by a life of pro
bation. Ile finds that his passions afford only
a temporary pleasure and excitement ; lie finds
that the excessive indulgence of his desires al
ways• eventuate in paiii ; and, at hist, he.set
tles down us age comes upon him, into a calm

The - danger - of "Party;"
It will be a happy day for the American
Union when all its people can be made to feel
that party is a monster. 'Observer,' the Wash
ington correspondent of the Phil. Ledger, says:
"There are but two parties in this country.
There is an Administration party, and an op
position with the prospect of becoming the Ad-
Ministration party. Every position out of these
two is a false ono, in a parliamentary view;
it may electrify the country, but it has little or
no inftuence on the pitiless ayes and noes.
Party ! Party ! nothing but Party ! • No it:flu %
once at work but that of Party ! No position
to be sustained but that of Party ! do the
"ayes and noes" ever remember that they
have a country to work for and sustain ; and
that the mass of the people do not care for
Party !
Removal of Marshall College
The synod of the German Reformed Church
at Harrisburg last week, after a full discussion
of the question, decided by a vote of 21 to 1,
in favor of the removal of the Marshall College
- from - Mercersbttrg to Lancaster, and uniting it
with the Franklin College, underthe title of the
Franklin Marshall Coilege:; , ..A3eition of the
conditions of the rehieviihttierthat.the

some $15,0&1, shall be beluga out and liana

the German Reformed Church will have the
entire and undisturbed control of the balance
of the funds of Franklin College,- amounting to
about $30,000, one third of which sum is how.
ever; already secured to them by chartered
rights; but up tq this time has not been made
available to any desirable end. The citizens
of Lancaster, moreover, are to raise $25,000

' ties are to apply to the legislature for a charter
to suit the new state of things. If these con
ditions are fulfilled, a union of the two colleges
may be confidently expected in the course of
a year. The funds will amount to more than
$lOO,OOO, and Marshall College will be cOm
pletely endowed, and permanently located at
Lancaster. Touching the removal of the theo
logical seminary from Mercersburg, no action
was taken, nor will there be before the gene

October next.—D. News.
Mr. Clay's Compromise
The Louisville Journal, speaking cf Mr.
Clay's compromise resolutions and speech, •ex
presses the firm belief that nineteen-twentieths
of the American people agree in sentiment with
Mr. Clay ; adding that uthe'desperate men of ul
tra opinions, who have unfortunately become
members of Congress, do not represent the feel
ings and convictions of the people. The masses
in all sections are heart-whole in their love and
reverence for the Union of these states, and"they
will sustain the noble stand taken by Mr. Clay,
whatever objections they may feel toward certain
details in the plan he has offered for the pacifi
cation of the present angry contest. Disunion.
ists and traitors, both at the North and South,
will wage war on Mr. Clays proposition, for its
success will be the knell of the notoriety of all
those who have contrived to make political cap
ital for themselves out of the wretched sectional
jealousies that now agitate the country."
The Drury Case.
The trial of Samuel . Drury and his son, at
New York, charged With ay attempt to murder
a,Mr. Warner, a lawyer, by sending • him a box
filled with combustable materials, which explod
ed with the first attempt to open it, was conclude
ed last Friday. The jury came ju•at a late hour
of the night, and stated that they wet - 6 unable to
agree upon a verdict. They were then discharg
ed, and the prisoners held to bail to answer for
other several high offtinces With Which they stand
charged; • ' • • '
The trial occupied four days, and excited deep
interest. It is certainly one of the most remark
able criminal .eases on record. The evidence .
Was very voluminous, and took a wide range.—
An attempt was made on the part ofihe defence,

A new point in 'a x no H. ory
Col. Benton in a recent speech at Palmyra,
Missouri, states that President Jackion •had nb•
solutely issued a warrant for the arrest of Ihe
great nullifier, and that Calhoun was aware oflhe
affectionate intentions or the president. He says:
Benton said that Aaron Burr's treason
was odious, but that woultd have been far more
so had he been vicolireald cnt at the time; foil
having sworn to support the constitution, perju
ry would have been added. This was non• the
case with Mr. Calhoun. As senator of the 'Uni
ted States, he had sworn to support.the Constitu
tion, and twice- attempted to coinmit treason
against his country, and was willing toren= the
infamy. In 1632, Jetchson would have hanged
him as high as Haman; which was seventy-five
feet and six inches—the warrant was in the hands
of the attorney general, who was ordered to have
it served, upon the next move on the part of. .1.
C. Calhoun, who, when informed of this by Loch
er, of Kentucky, was frightened into a chiltoptal
ed and from that hour the nulitication Of '32 was
dead,"
A Capital Resolution.--The Democratic Con
vention of Schuylkill county, (Pa.) assembled at
Pottsville on Monday last, to nominate Delegates
to the State Convention, instructed those it ap
pointed to support lion. Edward D. Hubley of
Readitt, as the candidate for Canal Commis
sioner.
Among the resolutions• reported was the fol.
lowing, which, considering the quarter whence it
comes, is full of meaning:
Resolved.—That a change of the present ad
valorem for a specific duty on iron, one of the
great staples of Pennsylvania, would be vastly
beneficial to our State at large, and that our rep
resentatives in Congress are earnestly desired t
use all legitimate means to effect that change in
our revenue laws.
craye Compromfar epecch.-7,erh.
for Mr. Clay's speech may be inferred from the
following, which we copy from the Washington
Globe :
...We have already as many orders for this
speech as we can fill in two weeks ;'and there.
fore we can not receive any more subscriptions
for it, unless the subscribers will agree to wait
more than two weeks. It will require about
one hundred and seventy reams royal octavo pa-
per to print those already ortlered."
Free .Seil.—The Connecticut Free Soil Con
vention was addressed by John M. Niles, late U.
S. Senator, who also fUrnished the resolutions—
which take the extreme ground .of his. party.
A letter was, read from John. Van Buren, urging
uncompromising action. Another Buffalo Con
vention is talked of. ,
Bedford County.—The Democratic convention
of Bedford county on the:4th fnstant, passed res•
olutions nominating James Buchanan for the
Presidency in 1852, and Jeremiah S. Black for
Governor.
To Printera.—The printing establi; -, lintent of
the "Newtown Journal," published in the
rough of Newtown, Bucks county, will, be sold
on the 23d of Fobrnary.
111assuchusclis,—The legislature . has !tp'asseti
to.be enacted," resolutions in favor of a National
Board of Agriculture. Mr. Wilson, of Natick,
has introduced into the Senate a resolution !de
claring that "Massachusetts is unalterably , op
posed to any compromise whatever with slavery,.
and instructing the State's United States senators
to oppose the Clay compromise, or any other,
giving the sanction of the State to human slavery.
