(11)e fcliigl) Register. Allentown, Pa. THURSDAY, APRIL It, ISM Bank Bills Passed Agreeable to order, the House on Thursday afternoon, the 15th inst., proceeded to the con• sideration of the Bank Bills passed by the Sen• ate, and disposed of them, as follows: 1 The re.oharter of the Easton Bank, passed without a division. 2—The Commer cial Bank, at Pittsburg, by a vole of 50 to 91. B—The Anthracite Bank, at Tamaqua, Schuyl kill county, by a vote •of 46 to 42. 4—The Carlisle Deposits Bank, in Cumberland county, by 48 to 89. 6—The Farmers' and Meehan. ice' Bank, at Allentown, Lehigh connty, by 46 to 42. o—The Erie City Bank, at Erie, Erie county, by 47 to 43. 7—The 'Meadville Bank, it Meadville, Crawford county, by 44 to 48. B—The Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank, at Phamixville, Cheater count b 44 to 40. The following bills wore laid over, to be dis posed of the following day, (18M) and were then passed as follows: 9—The Bank of New Castle, in Lawrence county, by a vote of 47 to 39. 10—The bill to increase the capital of 'the Southwark Bank, of Philadelphia, from $29,000 to $400,000, by 45 to 38. .11—The Farmers' and Traders' Bank, of the Northern county, bT4 - 4 - 3 - 97 12—The Bank of Warren, in Warren county, by 43 to 41. 13—The Bank of Hanover, in York county, by 42 to 38? 14—The Valley Bank, of Monongahela, in Westmoreland coun ty, by 42 to 38. 15—The Harrisburg Savings Institution, by 44 to 39. The Pottstown Bank, was defeated by a vote of 33 to 47. Besides the above, we must not forget the Mauch Chunk Bank, which passed both hou ses, also another Saving Bank, in all some 16 Institutions with discounting privileges are now in the hands of the Governor. How he will dispose of those bills ramifies to be seen. Reports from Harrisburg announce with much confidence, that Gov. Bigler will veto the whole lot, with:perhaps the exception of two or three, which are regarded by him as neces sary. Whether the Governor will deem the Bank at Allentown—with the small capital of one hundred thousand dollars—to be among the necessary ones, time will show. ~ The Agricultural Meeting. We would call the attention of the members of the Lehigh County Agricultural Society, and those who intend to become members, to the importance of their general attendance at the Meeting to be held on the 21th of April next. It is there that the measures must be matured, that give life and spirit to the association; and every member who feels a real interest in the cause, should attend and take part in the pro ceedings. Among the matters to be discussed, will be that of holding an Exhibition, of fixing the time and place, premiums, &o. Pottstown and Allentown In our last week's paper we informed our readers that the Allentown and Pottstown Rail Road Bill had passed the House, and that the Bill was then in the hands of our attentive Sen ator Gen. Shinztr t who would see to its passage through that branch of the Legislature. Our paper had scarcely left the press, before we re calved the intelligence that the Bill had also passed the Senate. This is indeed very plea- sing news to our citizens, as it now only requires the signature of the Governor to be• come a law. The bill, however, found' some unlooked for opposition in the Senator of "01 , 1 Berke," H. A. Muhlenberg, who moved to have it stricken from the private calendar, but he missed his mark. We learn too, that Senator Jones, of Montgomery, for some reason or other, ventured to demand the tax upon the bill before it altouid be passed. What induced this genius of a Senator to pursue such a course we cannot imagine. This Rail Road will make the shortest route to Philadelphia, of any now in contemplation, being only about sixty eight miles, with only 28 miles of Road to be built to form a connection with the great Lehigh Coal Region. The. Bounty Land Aot. Senator Broadhead on the 13th instant, pro. sented four memorials of citizens of Pennsyl- vania, praying Congress to modify the bounty land act of September 28, 1850, so as to give to each person intended to be benefited by said act, and the seamen and marines who served in said wars; not less than one hundred and sixty acres of land; which were referred to the Committee on Public Lands. Meetings are being held all over the country in favor of this amendment, and we trust that Congress will yet listen to the prayers of the petitioners. The Plough, Loom and Anvil. This excellent monthly for April has Won received. it contains much interesting and valuable matter for the Farmer, the Manufac turer, the Mechanic, and all who pursue any of the industrial vocations of life. This is ono of the few periodicals of real practical utility, and is worthy of the most extensive patronage from those who think when they read, and read to be instructed. It is published by My. ton Finch, No. 9 Spruce street, for S 3 a year. Whig Congressional Caucus. A meeting of the Whig members of Con grass took place on the evening of the 9th of April, in the Senate Chamber, "to consider matters of importance to the Whig party."-.-- Senator Mangum presided. Tho Caucus was in session till about 11 o'clock in the evening, add after an animated and arnicible conversa tion on several point, of party and public inter est, adjourned to meet again next Tuesday evening, 27th inst. It will be the duty of the Caucus to fix upon the time and place for hcilding the National Convention, and it is the general impression that Baltimore will Ile the glace selected, Plain Faots Labor is the foundation of all property and of all the prosperity of the country. Whatever lends to encourage labor tends to increase property, and add to the prosperity of a nation. The measures of every governmeht should have a constant bearing, therefore, on the en, couragement of labor. A Protective Tartj not only promotes the en terests of the Manufacturer, the Farmer, and the Mechanic, but it also encourages labor. ft gives to this class constant employment and good wages, and thus enables them to consume the products of the Farmer, which is an en couragement again to his labor. In this way, money is kept in the country, and soon becomes abundant and cheap, for money has a price as well as any other article. A cheap currency will diminish the price of rents, for It will enable the rich man, who wishes to keep it active, to build houses and thus keep down the price of rents. When mo ney is sent abroad, its value is raised at home, MEM ue is raised at honie. Had the im mense amount of gold derived from California been retained in this country, money would have been abundant, its value would have been diminished, and the laborer would have ob. tained more for the same amount of wages, than he now does. Laborers, Mechanics, A rlizans, Operatives of - every - descriptioni - nre - interested - in - encourag=l ing a policy that will keep the gold and silver at home, to he employed in building houses. Rents are high now, because our capitalists can get a better profit for their money, by the purchase of stocks and railroad bonds, than to employ their money in building. Lay a pro. tective tariff keep our gold at home and money would be so plenty that capitalists Would perfer to employ it in erecting tene manta for rent A tariff would add much to the employment of the working classes. There are probably five millions of laborers that wou'd find constant occupation under a protective tariff, which at one dollar a day, lot three hundred days, would give an aggregate of fifteen hundred millions ol"dollars saved annually to the laboring class only by the operation of a protective tariff.

A Pretty Pioture In February last, the course of trade was as follows, as we find in the National Intel!igen cer of March 6 Total imports, " exportp, Excess of imports of merchandize $5,171,521 Specie exported to foreign ports, 3,551,543 " imported from " 110,293 Excess of imports of specie, $3,441,250 What a pleasant picture for a true Ameri can to contemplate ! In one month access of importation of merchandizo, 85,171,521—ex cess of export of 5pecie : 53,441,250. Under the tariff of 1846, we were compelled to buy abroad much of what under a Protective Tariff we were formally able to make at home. To pay for these extra purchases, our coin is sent to fill European coffers to the tune of over three millions a month ! Thus much for permitting the Free Traders in Congress to fasten upon the country a revenue system which discrim inates in favor of British Labor and British Capital against the Labor and Capital of our own country. Henry Clay. On Monday last the great Western Statesman was seventy-five years old. He was born in Virginia, near Richmond, on the 12th of April, 1777—nearly a year after the Declaration of Independence—so he was the subject of no King, but a free citizen of the United States.— We regret to hear—everybody will regret to hear—that the hind of sickness has pressed harder upon him for some days past, and that the hopes which were indulged a short time back, that he would yet be restored to the coun cils of the nation, have nothing to encourage them. We still hope on—though hoping, it may be, against hope—that he will be spared to appear once more, at least, in the Senate Chamber, there to enforce and confirm by his presence and his eloquence, the wisdom of the policy which Washington taught, and which Elenry Clay has ever sustained. The Major William Barnet. Our Steamboat MaJ. Wm. Barnet, is begin. fling to do a large business between lhis and the railroad. Captain Young appears to be in good 'spirits, and well he may be. He is a very gentlemanly man, and seems to have got the confidence of the.public generally. We hope the river will keep so as to allow the Boat's running a good well. Her downward trips must pay very well. On Monday last we Judge the number of passengers could not have been less than one hundred and seventy.five. The Boat seldom leaves here without a good load. The mode of traveling is new to our citizens, and its convenience so great as to call custom from all quarters of the neighboring. country.— ition Sestina. The United States in 1950 An article under this title in Hunt's Mer chants' Magazine for April, contains some tereating speculations based on the report of the Superintendent of the Census, ebtwing the progressive increase of populatimqellll3 Uni ted States, during decennial periods of their existence, as an indepen4ent people, from the first census in 1790 to the seventh in 1850.-- The result of the estimate is that in the Year 1000 our pdpulation will have reached, 72,- 214,211; and that in 1950 it will amount to 236,813,729. This estimate is made, taking the natural increase from 18 ; 10 to 3850, or 26.- 1 12 per cent., the ratio of our future advance.— This result it is admitted, is very improbable. Various causes will conspire to prevent our fu• tare increase equalling the rapidity of our growth hitherto. Although the additions to our population in.decennial period; in coming years may greatly exceed the increase in slim• liar intervals of time in cur past history, yet the per centage of increase in such accessions must, almost of necessity be reduced. In the course of thirty or forty years, foreign immi gration, now so powerful and auxiliary in swelling our numbers and raising the ratio of our progression, must become a comparatively unimportant item in our periodical advances. The writer makes another estimate, by which our population in 1950, is computed•at 164,- 86 ; 246; and this, he thinks, will fall short of the reality. Ile ventures the assertion that there are those now living who, if internal dis sentient; and fratricidal quarrels, do not previ ously destroy our existence as a nation, will see us a people of more than 200,000,000 souls. 'Our territory embraces 3,136,447 rquate and the present population amounts to but 7 inhabitants to the square mile. Should this vast area, presenting every variety of climate, and inexhaustible fertility of soil, be as densely peopled as Great Britain, which has 220 within the same limits, our numbers would reach•69o, 020,540 ; and should it ever rival Holland and Belgium in density of population (267 to the mile,) the result would be the enormous amount of 837,43 4,018, equal to four-fifths of the present estimated number of the human race.—Daily Sun. $9,139,285 3,967,764 Fannin Massacre. A friend who was present at a recent ad dress delivered at Huntsville, Ala., by Gener al Sam Houston, informs us that Gen. H. sta ted a fact which seems to be not generally known—to wit: that the Slate of Texas, years ago, passed an act, giving to the next of kin of each soldier who fell in that massacre, six teen hundred acres of land,, to be located on any of the unappropriated Oblio land's belong ing to that State. He requested those present to give as much publicity to the fact as possi ble. In a conversation with our informant, af ter the speech was delivered, General Mitts ton recommended him to call the attention of the people of Georgia to the fact, as very many of Fannin's men were from this State, and the information would probably benefit the heirs of those ill-fated heroes. We hope our cotem. poraries of the press in the U. S. will give this subject a suitable notice in their columns." .Bounty Land Warrants.—The bill which late ly passed congress, authorises all warrants is sued or hereafter to be issued, under any law of the United States, and all valid locations, to be assignable by deed or instrument of writing made and executed after the taking effect Of the I act, according to forms and regulations prescrib ed by the Commissioners of the General Land Office. Any person entitled to pre.emptlon right to any land, shall be entitled to use any such warrant in payment of the same at $1 25 per acre. Warrants may be located in one body up on any lands of the United States, subject to private entry at the time.of such location, at the minimum price. Whe n l said warrants shall be located on lands subject to entry. at a greater minimum than $1 25 per acre, the locater of said warrants shall pay to the United States, in cash, the difference between the value of such war. rants at $1 25 per acre and the tract of land lo cated on.

Homicide.—A fatal affray 'encored in West Tennessee, week before last, between a Mr. Ed wards and a Mr. Watson, in which the latter was fatally injured. The difficulty had its origin in an old foptly feud. Edwards was tried and tic qultteti on the ground .or self defense. "To the Victors Belong the Spoils." The following capital article we glean from the West Chester "Register and Examiner," it ' gives a faithful history of this abominable practice, adopted as the lever of party polities : When the venerated WASHINGTON was called to the Presidential chair, he found the Government in an almost chaotic state. The Confederation, united and strong, while external enemies were in the field, but divided, weak and inefficient, the moment peace was declared, had given place to a "Union under the Constitution." George Washington was unanimously selected by the American people to organize the new Government. Never was a trust committed to better hands. Wise, cool, and eminently patri• otiC ; with no thought but the public good, and the perpetuity of our institutions; this great and good man endeavored to establish, in every de. partment of the National Governinent, the policy best adapted to these ends. Thomas Jefferson was an early member of his Cabinet, and it is perhaps to the deliberations of that august, though small body, dint we are intebted-to—the celebrated interrogatory of Mr. Jefferson,—" Is he honest, is he capable, is he true to the Consti. tutlon V' The appointments made by President Washington were models of patriotism, capari• ty, and integrity. No inquiry was made as to what particular clique they belonged; none as to whether the applicant had " spent his money freely at the election, in purchasing votes with liquor;' nor were recommendations declaring that •the appointment of a certain candidate " would bring a large and influential family to the support of the administration" attended with success. John Adams succeeded General Washington. lie retained all the officers appointed by his predecessor, but when new offices were created, or vacancies occurred by death, or resignation, Federalists alone were appointed. When Mr. Jefferson became President, he found that by far the greater portion of the uffi, cers were adherents oldie Federal party. Where well grounded complaints existed, removals were made, and Democrats, tried. by the rule above quoted, were appointed in their stead. This policy Mr. Jefferson determined to " continue until the members of each party hell a propor, tionate share of the offices." During the administrations of Madison, Mon roe and John Quincy Adams no removals were made for opinions entertained. The officers ap pointed by Jefferson, except those removed by death or resignation, continued in the public service until the induction of Gen. Jackson, When a clean sweep was made to find room for the hungry pack following at his heels. During the forty years, from 1789, the time the Constitution went into operation, until 1829 the commencement of General Jackson's term, the whole loss by the Government from the delal. cations (!)r public officers did not exceed a few thou • sand dollars. In the next twelve years, that is, duritig the administrations of Jackson and Van Buren, the defalcations of the collectors anti other officers of the Federal Government amount ed to many millions, in sums varying from one thousand to a quarter of a million of dollars. It would seem from a view of the whole of that remarkable period, and from correspond, ence since made public, thit the object of the applicants, public plunder" was well under, stood among themselves, and also by the ap _ pointing power. Samuel Swartwout, in a letter to Jesse Hoyt, dated. Washington March 14th, 1829, says: Whether or not I shall get anything in the general scramble for plunder remains to be proven; but 1 rather guess I shall." We rather guess he mn, Ifn two tons of solid silver are anything." The securities t " a ' ken in Mr. Swartwout's case, and indeed in almost every other, were what lawyers sometimes term straw sureties"— men not worth a dollar in the world. At the time Mr. Van Buren appointed Jesse Hoyt col. lector of the Port of New York, he knew that he was deeply involved, and without credit or char. acter; yet he committed the funds of the coon, try, collected at its commercial metropolis, to his keeping, upon securities which no correct bu- siness man would have loaned a thousand dal- lars. His defalcations were also measured by tons of silver." It is a melancholy fact, that there was scarce'an officer of the General Gov. ernment fingering the public funds during that period, who did not appropriate a portion of it to his own use. If the nation has suffered pecuniary from this abomidable doctrine, our own state has, in its individual capacity, felt its withering ehTccts. I'he readers of this paper have been made ac• quainted with the squandering of the Common wealth's money by its officers on canals and railways, from the Canal Commissioners down to the petty supervisors on the works. They know that at no distant date, the "favorites re_ ceived for three cords of wood, the price of, and receipted for five ; they know that oil was pur_ chased in the same manner, and they know that this was the system pursued throughoin every artery of the public works and "is so now in certain quarters But it is not in the loss of millions to the Na- tional or State Governments that the doctrine has inflicted/the deepest wounds on the country. It is in its demoralizing tendencies, and' in its corruptions at the ballot box we must expect to find its greatest injury. The dishonesty of men in high places, the unblushing scramble for the spoils, the undue influence exercised by money, and place, at the elections, the bribery of elec tion officers, and the falsification of 'election re- urns, of a government, based on the virtue and ntegrity of the people Bad Legislation. Banking in Wisconsin is taking a very unsafe range. The House of As sembly has passed a general Banking law, ad. milling railroad bonds as a basis of bill issues. Under such an arrangement as this, no safe cir• culation can be expected. Wisconsin has also fixed 10 per cent. as the legal rate of interest un• til 1858, and subsequently 7 cent. tar P. R.

The New Haven Register states that Mrs Em ily Norton, wife of Mr. Hartz Z. Norton, of Nor , walk, having been afflicted for some years with a disease of the jaw and cheek, requiring the ex. traction of several diseased teeth, - came to that Icity with the purpose of having the operation i performed by her former medical attendant, Mr. Park. She had last year taken chloroform with I happy effect, under his care, and •now insisted upon having it administered preparatory to the. operation. She was allowed to inhale the chlo• reform, in very small quantity, for several min. utes ; and almost while she was saying that she felt no effect from it, and was asking for its more free administration, the doctor noticed the pulse suddenly to fail. Within three or four minutes from this time this change was noticed, all signs of life were gone, and the most vigorous efforts.. to resuscitate the woman proved unavailing.— The quantity of chloroform used, was much less than is commonly administered in surgical op. erations ; and the operatorp regarded as a skill-1 ful, judicious, and prudent physician. At his re quest a jury of inquest has been called to make a full and public investigation of circumstances of this painful case Phosphate of Lime in Consumption. When an account of Dr. Stnne's _jof New Orleans) success in treatment of consumption was published, it naturally enough interested the profession, as well as the friends of those who were suffering, because it raised a gleam of hope in cases where none existed. The following facts have come to our knowlege, and mny he considered favorable in regard to this method of treatment. A gentleman of the neighboring city of Charlestown, whose son was considered in a hopeless state from the diseased condition of the respiratory apparatus was induced to adminis ter Dr. Stone's medicine. All the phosphate of lime procured at the shops appeared to be im• perfectly prepared—being coarse and otherwise objectionable. A purer article was prepared especially for the occasion, reduced to an im palpable powder, and ten grains were adminis tered three times a day, followed by a swallow of cod, liver oil. No material change was dis coverable in the patient for two weeks. Sud denly, as it were, a fixed pain of long standing in the chest then abated; sleep became refresh ing, the appetite improved, strength returned, and from being moved above the apartment re clining on an invalid's chair, he is now daily riding on an average, ten miles on horse-hack, facing the wind and breasting the cold with tm. punity. This is a synopsis of a case related by a greatful parent, who would be glad to have others, under similar circumstances, make an effort with the phosphate, combined with cod liver oil.—(Boston Medical Journal.

Circuit Court fix the western district of Pennsylvania, have giveit judgment in favor of Joshua Natchcrie.b, who recently brought suit against the trustee.l.of the Economy Society, at Harmony, Ind., for $60,000. The plaintiff, it appears, was a member of the society for twenty-seven years, when he ex pelled without cause, by the late George Harp and his associates, and deprived of all share of the property, valued at $2,000,000. He brought suit for $60,000, as his share, but the court, in its decision, ordered the appointment of a com missioner to ascertain what would be the share of each member, and, how much will be a fair compensation of the defendant for his twenty. seven years of labor, after deducting monies paid him.
