The Result
The taxpayers of Pennsylvania who came
up to the polls on the 14th of October, decided
by a majority ranging from 4000 to 7000 that
Col. William Bigler should govern the talairs
of State for the next three years, commencing
in January 1852. Whether they have decided
wisely time can alone determiLe. Johnston
and Bigler were both unexceptionable men,
and we have noticed that the contest with one
exception—the Gorsuch affair—was conducted
upon principle, and that personal abuse was not
resorted to.
The result may he considered as decisive
against a revision of the tariff at the next ses•
sion of Congress. Governor Johnston, the de
feated whip; candidate, made the tariff a dis-
tinct issue before the people, in his vcnious ad•
dresses before the election, throughout the
State—anti he called upon them to declare by
their votes whether they were satisfied with
the present tariff, or whether they desired more
efficient protection, patticularly on coal, iron
and other manufacture:: of Fends I vania.—
Col. Bigler, the democratic candidate, on the
other hand, was understood to be in favor of
the present tariff, and not aexious for fernier
protection. ‘Vhatever, therefore, may he at
tempted by the advocates of a higher tariff al
the next session of Coogress, the vote of the
people o[ Pennsylvania, as that of the section
of the country most interested in a tariff will

Dallas - and the Compromise
A very curious letter, says the New Votk
Herald, from the pen of ex-Vice President Dal
las, will be found in another column. It wil
be seen that he is of the opinion that the Com
promise or peace measures of Conarese. have
failed to effect the olj..ct intruded; and now.
in order to set the nero (pte-tion at rest for
ever, he reemernetek the amendment of the
constitution. The worthy gentleman. we think.
has been rather precipitate. lie certainly had .
not taken a fair look ut roatters throughout the
country. Had ho but Waited until he knee:

The Republic on Cuba
The following quotation flom Witsh•

and telegraphed at of a serni official Character.
Of course the threat therein is grounded on the
assumption that England would interfere to
preserve Cuba to Spain, and aid her to sup
press a revolution by the Cubans themselves;
then the sentiments of The Republic would
find an echo. Otherwise we know not whom
they represent;
In throwing ont these vievrs . we are speak
ing the universal sentiment of the American
people; and we warn "The Times," and all
whom it represents, that the lirst show of Brit.
ish intervention in Cuban ufhiirs will be the
signal for n movement that neither Cuba ncr
Great Britain, nor all the Earliest' powers

Principles
The word principles is a generic term. In
its broadest signification, it means the ac
knowledged rules of action. In methaMes, it
s i g nifies O l e laws by which certain results are
produced. In philosophy, it indicates the
guide which is laid doWn to be obsei veil. In
politics it means the leading mks of faith
adopted for our goveinment.
To argue that our polities shonld be govern
ed by principles. would be a work of supere
ro.2ation. N.) reasonable being earn deny so
pl a in a proposition. The true principles of goV
eminent are the study of statesmen, rulers,
polilieiansl and all ttho take an interest in the
affairs of the country. The interests of com
merce, agriculture, navigation and Manufacto
ries, all depend upon the principles invoked in
administeriog the powers of the government.
By one line of pulley, diey are advanced, and
by another depressed.
A party without priifirifilirs is a ship afloat
iihout a rudder or compass, drifting about
hither and thither with the tide, or driven by
the violence of the tempest to sure destruction.
Thole is no guide to steer by—there is no pro.
tertian itt . jairist danger. hi the ever changing
course of events, unexpected cases will atise,
new questions will present themselves to be
acti..l upon and decided. If it is a great corn
meicial tplestion, regnitim: ',tempt action, it
must either be delayed until the hour cf ad•
vantage is gone or enimed upon rashly. No

ihr young lathes in the institution were engag•

them proeerded to relate some experience she
had formerly acquired in a dissecting room.—
Just as the conversation reached this point ; the
door of die room opened, and another of the in
mates of the seminary entered with slow and sol
emn tread, having a white sheet wrapped about
her form, ail,' her face powdered in perfect
whiteness, her jet black hair, eyes and brows
presenting a cinitrast which gave a startling liV•
idness to her ghost like countenance. The lady
who was 'elating her experience, as already
stated, is said to be menially superior to any of
her classmates, and noted for her strength of
not:d and freedom from nervousness and absurd
sensibility. :3o sudden, however, was the ap
proach of the figure, just al a moment when her
mind was leash Ocrared for anything assucia•
ted with thoughts of the dead, that upon behold,
ing the apparation she Cell senseless to the !loot.,
and awoke to the scenes around her, only. to
show her anxious attendants that reason had

distressing si , mptiims of the unfortunate girl,
and there is very little encouragement to hope
that reason will ever resume its seat. 'flit, oc•

Prophecy about Sir John Franklin
In turning oeer the exchange papers this
morning, saes the New York Evening Post, our
ryi'a fell upon the TolloWing paragraph, which
purpork to have been cut from a paper• called
the li,linburgh Advertiser, but of what date it
is not said: •
-0o the 17th of February last, a clairvoyant,
whose revelations are given in D'r. Glrecory's
late work, stated that Captain Austain was at
that moment in longitude or) deg. 1' min. west,
which corresponds exactly with the actual poSii
lion of the place whet e he is now fotind to have
passed the. Winter. According to her statement,
Sir John Franklin Was at the same limn in Ion.:
101 deg. f 5 mitt., or 0;001 400 011 1 4 S to the west.
ward; he had been previously relteviid, and a
third ship was then frezett op aksg with his
two." •
Gapponinz to have the tern: of tr. Griciirc
a•hieh is here alluded to on tour tatitc. u•e 'ttted
to it, and tnund sore enough ibat pig. 306 of
the American edition, it is recorded that nib,
male in the ,magnetic stale, while ciaintoing cer
main letters said to have been v. mien by Sir
John Franklin and Captain Anstaio, declared
that they were nt that moment (Feb. 17th, 1951.)
in the longitude above given. The hoick-itself
was published several months since, and king
before the return of Capt. Austain's expedition.
-- We next turned to our files of the London
Times, and found the report of Captain Austain
published at length in that Paper or Senienilwr
12th, stating, in the course of mm, ihm; from the
14th of February, 1851, until after the Mb, iihe
was fast to the fixed ire, bet Ween ('epe Martyr
and Griffith Island." Now, ibis point, according
to our rode measurements. on Johnsmo s map of
the Arctic Zones, is inet about 95° 45 5 , west lon,
gitnite. from Greenwich.
Here, then, we have a prophecy giving pre•
cise numbers, and ilktinctly reforilett precious
to the time when ally knowledas, of the event re
ferred to could have been'ttad, and wliic!Plurnk
out to be quite correct: Clairvoyance, which
has been gelling somewhat :nut disrepute, will
prOhably be lookina up hireafier. It has never

er day, •when one sees the way in which the
people live and ladies dress." We thought, says
the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, there was a
good deal of truth in what the old gentleman
said. Houses at from one to five thousand dollars
rent ; brocades at three dollars a yard ; bonnets
at twenty; and.shawls, cloaks,' &c., from
City dollars up, arc enough to embarrass any
community, which indulges in such extravagan
ces as extensively Americans do. Fur it is
not clay the families of elaltzed wealth, who
could afford it. that spend money in this way,
but ihot,e who are vet laboring to make a for_
tune. and who, by the chances of trade, rr'ay fail

worth two thousand a year, dress as rich nearly
as those ut twenty thousand. 'Flue young, UM,

The lolly of this is akm ent. The sums thus
lavished go 1. r mere show, and neither refine the

themselves to such luxuries; and then, indul

Last week, Frederick Roemer, a merchant i d
Chambersburg, Pa., failed. His liabilities were
estimated at thirty thousand dollars. He was
subsequently arrested at the instigation of his
creditors. On Wednesday night, Lewis Denig,
Esq., of Chambersburg, one of his principal e.n•
tlorsers, and a fellow loser, committed suicide,
upon the receipt of the news. The Chambers
.tuirg Repository, says that scarcely had the
corpse of the:iinfortunate man been escorted to
his residence, ere a new excitement was created
by the appeviirice of ft,emer in the custody of
the Sheriff. Tle had been arrested and brought
to town, at the instigation of certain of his cred
itors, to answer to the Charge of having fraudu
lently involved them. He was taken into a hotel
nearly opposite the residence of Denig. The
crowd immediately changed to the opposite side
of the streetand surrounded the hotel. The feel
ftig of grief and, sorrow before manifested in eve.
ry countenance, now gave way to sentiments- of
indignation. The Sheriff, however, was permit
ted to discharge his dirty without interruption,
and Roemer was taken from the hotet to the of
fice ofJustice Armstrong, where his examina.
lion commenced. Alter seve`rP:! hours thus en
gaged, he was committed to prison, to await a
further hearing on the following day. No one
appeared to go his bail. The man who but a
