Cheap Paper or Dear Reading. 'he newspaper world is threatened with an assault almost as formidable in its way as that of the combined fleets on. Russia. Its very "staff of lite" is at stake. For more than a year the price of paper has been steadily ad. vancing, and instead of exhibiting any sym tome of a decline, threatens a still further rise. In part the Evening Bulletin thinks this is to be. attributed to the enormous consumption which has increased the demand*eyond the capacity of the supply, bet in part also to the difficulty of obtaining rags. In fact tatters are nt a premium. Old clothes grow scarcer every day, a strange phenomenon, especially in these times of prosperity, when every body , buys twice as many garmeate as they were accustomed to formerly. Without old clothes, there aro no rags, without rags, alas ! no paper, ‘Vhat will be the result, it would take a second Solomon to tell. Certainly, if the price of pa per continuos to advance, newspaperdom will lind itself in a tight corner. People, by some strange perversity, expect to get their journals at the old price, no matter how much wages may advance, or the price of paper rise. Yet, it the increase continues much longer, a point will be reached, with many newspapers, where the cost of paper alone will consume nearly the entire nett receipts; and it, such a crises they must either advance their price or stop altoLether. 13 It would be a curious fact, if the universal prosperity, to which a good deal of this rise in paper may be referred, should act filially , as a practical extinguisher of the press. The im position of a stamp duty, it is well known, kil. 41 Addison's "Specator." The advance in paper will act like the stamp duty. It is true, it is not so easy to kill a common newspaper now as it was then, but then neithqr have we Addisons to write for newspapers, so that, take it all in all, the rise in paper is almost as se rious en affair as was the stamp duty. Per. haps, however, the inventive genius of our countrymen may yet save the public horn the alternative of having to pay two prices for its newspapers or abstain from them entirely. All that is wanted is, the discovery how to make good printing paper out of some cheap mate rial. -Straw has been talked of, and a story went the rounds of the press, a few months ago, that some manufacturer had even tsuc• ceeded in making good printing paper out of straw. 13ut of late we have heard nothing of this straw paper. Where is Yankee ingenui ty 1 Surely the men who can make first rate hams out of old walnut, and capital nutmegs out of ditty mahogany, ought to be able to make white printing paper out of wheat straw, of corn-sta!k lodder. The march of civilize. tion demands this, as tho next Invention of the age. Cheap paper or -dear journals—that is the issue--and how shall we meet it A Singular*Cure A recent number of the Concordia Intel!igen cer contains the following account of a case of supposed consumption, and 4!s singular cure: About Your years ago, a young gentleman in Maine was attacked with a cough, and applied to the most Ekil fu I of the medical profession in his vicinity. But relief came not. The symp- toms were pronounced sure indications of con sumption. Ile wasted away gradually, losing strength and energy ; and his physicians told him he must die, as the consumption, which was wasting him away, could not be cured or even checked. Ha went to Cincinnati to avail himself of the advice and great skill of the emi nent physicians of that city. There he met no encouragement, but, on the contrary, was told his case was hopeless—that one lobe of his lungs were already pile. As death approach. ed, the love of life became stronger, and he re• solved to come south, seeking some prineiple of life from our generous climate. He has been sojourning for a few months at the hospitable mansion of ono of our eminent citizens, and has visited the 'sugar plantation, inhaling the saccharine vapors as a restorative to his west irig lungs, but without relief. But in an hour of despondency, when death was looked upon as a welcome messenger, re• lief came. About a week ago, in ono of his violent and distressing fits of coughing, he threw up a cuckle bur. Since the bur has been ejected, he says he feels, like a new man ; and as he frequently calls on us, we perceive a very marked change and almost perceptible daily improvement. The young gentleman, we hope, will be soon restored entirely to health and usefulness. The cough, which has been for two or three year.• very annoying and occasionally violent, has almost entirely disappeared, appetite is return ing, and a desire for exercise and active life manifests itself. Ile swallowed the bur, arci• dentally, about four years ago, but his physi- cians laughed to scorn the idea of the bur re maining in the .throat, although the patient strived to convince them that the cough was caused by the lodgement of the bur, and not from diseased lungs.

GEORGE DARSIE, Of Allegheny County. FOR JCDGE(r TUE SUPREME C - URT. DANIEL M. SMYSER, Of Montgomery -County. The Candidates and the Platform. If those of the Opposition who have been congratulating themselves for a year past, that the Whig party is dead, had been at Harris burg last Wednesday, on the occasion of the assembling of the State Convention, they would have had indisputable evidence of a resurrection to even more than its pristine en. ergy and vitality. Seldom, in their pahniest day& have the Whigs appeared to better ail vattlrge, or given a more hopeful assurance of firm, united and concentrated action, and de. votion to princiPle. In point of numbers it was the largest, in intelligence the ablest ; and in energy the most efficient body that has ever assembled for a similar purpose. Of the 133 delegates composing a full Convention, one hun- I dred and thirty were in attendance. The gal lant Whigs of our extreme western, northern, and southern boundaries, remote from the capi tal, were duly represented by delegates of their own choice, who had left their homes in 'the busiest season of the year and travelled hun dreds of miles, to alit in the great work of re organizing for a new crusade against what is called the Dernceratic party, and to select the standard bearers for a fresh onslaught against the common enemy. It was a sight to cheer the hearts of the most desrontfing, and inspire hope and confidence of bright future results. Janes Pora.ccx, of Northumberland county, is the nominee fir Governor. !leis a good, I sound, conservative ‘Vhig, right on every ques ' tion of public policy now before the coutory, and no less sound and true in all his apiece , dents. Wo dely Locofucoism to say aught against his private, public or intellectual char actor, or his fitness for the station to which he has been named, without a resort to the gross. est libels. In voting for him, the people will vote for a man in the full sense of the term. As a jurist he is learned and able—as a states, man, experienced ; wise, honest and eminent ly patriotic. lie will make just such a Gayer., nor as the people want. Of Gc. - du.a: DAI{SIE, all who know him per sonally, or by reputation, whether Whigs or Dernecrata, will say--stual say if they are can. did—that fur the office of Canal Commissioner no choice could be better. No man in the State, probably, has devoted more time to the examination of our improvement system, in all its bearings, than he, or is better posted up in the abuses that prevail, and the proper rem edy to be applied in order to stop them. fie has for many years been a leading, and em phatically a working member of the Senate— entertaining more enlarged views, more labor• ious and conscientious in the discharge of his duties, arid less swayed by party predilections, than any of his colleagues in that branch of the Government. Of Judge Sstrscrt, of Montgomery, it is un necessary to say a word. He is well known by reputation and highly esteemed by the legal profession, and all others capable of jadging, as a jurist of ability, thoroughly qualified for the high position for which he is named. A more estimable man in his private and social relations', than Judge Smvsra ; is not to be found in the Commonwealth. So much for the candidates. The platform upon which they stand, it will be observed, is composed of solid timber—true live oak (iire• iaphorically speakii p) Isom the tree forest of the North. There is not a plank in it upon which any good Whig—or Dernoerat—cannot. and ought not to stand. No rottonness is there—no attempt at disguise, or concealment, or doobledlealing, or shuffling to catch votes. The resolutions speak right out and express the true sentiment of patriotism, and adherence no Pennsylvania interests, acid no Petinsylva• than, if he is a true man, can plant his foot up on any other. , As a whole the tick et is good, the resolutions are sound, and the prospects of success by no means discouraging.

Frozen to Death. On Friday last, as is customary in many parts of the country, a wood chopping frolic took place somewhere in Longswamp township, Dellis county, at which liquor was dealt out, and at which a poor inebriate, named Henry Weber, no doubt partook freely. On leaving in the evening full of the poisonous beverage, and but a short distance from the place (tithe frolic, he laid clown aside of a feuce, and there was found a Corpse the next day. This, should serve as a warning to liquor drinkers. Escape from Jail On Sunday niaht, Burney Donley, imprisoned by Hoffman d r Seider,having hired a horse and not re• turning the same according to contract made good his escape by securing of the keys to the prison yard. It appears Sheriff Weiler, has a man to attend as ostler, who took off the . lock on the outside of the prison 'yard gate and locked the same in the inside, he put the key into his pocket, and retired to the room of Don, ley ; after the ostler went to bed, and slept soundly, Donley got up took out the keys from the ostlers pocket and went out into the yard unlocked the gate and escaped. IThe "Lehigh Patriot." Our neighbor of the “Patriot" is cooled down some what, and in an indirect manner acknow ledges the "guilt" we fastened upon him, by the publication of the certificateln the"flegis. ter" of the 18th instant. His efforts are now directed to other matters not at issue, he is caught in his OWII trap, and the only hottest way to extricate himself, is hut to confess that he has wronged us, and the matter shall be dropped. To continue in a perversion of facts .I is simply ridiculous. Your allusion as to 0111' writer is childish. You deeming us enworthy 1 of your notice, is a matter that your readers knoW to be untrue, as you have made the at• tack upon us and continued it in you issues of the Bth and 22d, in an ungentlemanly and un. neighborly manner. You charged us in a mat ter you knew at the time you made it to be false, you, however, persisted in the charge; we met it and disproved it to the satisfaction of any hon. est citizens, by the publication of a certificate' of a person who delivered to you the proceed. ings. You in your last issue admit that you received the "proceedings" Which is the point at issue, butcontentl that the same were not de livered in the printing dice. The course you have taken upon this point, makes you indeed appear ridiculous in the eyes of your readers. Does not every subscriber of yours, ant( all who ever done business in your establishment knout, that such is positively all done in your book., room or publication, and not in your printing office? Then why not frankly admit that you have wronged a fellow neighbor. We will now proceed to answer ihe quo. ties of the " Patriots : as he placed them in regular order.

Second—The iot' indirectly Admits that he received the proceedings, at the bookstore, but in order to get out al the scrape, he tells us, they were not delivered in the printing of fice.

The loss will fall heavily on Mr. Miller, being deprived of house and all his furniture. Loss estimated 5600. Ott Thursday last, the 17th of March, the Frame Carpi:H.ler shop, of Mr. Jacob Rohe, jr., took fire and was totally destroyed. The lora of Mr. Rube may reach $2OO.

Sale of the Publio Works, Whether the pUblic works of the state should be sold or retained has become a question of greatmoment—a question in which every citizen of the state is interested. At an early period— twelve or more years ago—the mismanagement of the state officers connected with them, attracted public attention to the subject, and in many sec. lions of the state not immediately benefited by them, meetings were called and resolutions in favor 01 selling them passed. The rapid increase of the public debt--the inability of the state, for a short period, to pay the interest on it, serious• ly alarmed the people—and we very well remem ber that in Cumberland county a formidable par• ty,assumtngthe name of AntirTax Party, sprung up, the object of which was to force a sale by re• fusing to pay all state taxes until the works were disposed of. 'Nearly the same spirit, and to a far stealer extent, prevails now. The state works, as they have been managed, and as they are like• ly to be managed, are a source of annoyance and expense-- they corrupt the public" morals and increase the state debt. Who, then, will wonder at the feeling in favor or selling them to individuals or companies. 'Experience has clear ly proved that the state cannot manage them with profit—nay, that under state control they are a pecuniary loss and a source of corruption. Let us, therefore dispose of them. We say this after mature reflection. Up to this time we have expressed no opinion on the question, hoping that something might occur to satisfy us that they might be profitably retained. But noth, ing has thus far transpired so to satisfy us, and on every hand, we perceive a growing feeling in favor of getting rid of them upon almost any terms, rather than run the risk of keeping them any longer. As early as 1814 more than twenty thousand majority of the popular vote was cast in favor of 1 the sale—now, if a vote were taken, that majori would be more than quadrupled. The reason for this is obvious, The people have become convinced, by long.and severe trials and experi ence, that state maVageinent is but another name fir robbery, and that under any system of state control, likely to be invented, the commonwealth must be plunged deeper and deeper into debt.— Any one who looks at the figures, as given by tthe state officers themselves, must be convinced that so long, must we be a tax.ridden and oppres, sed people. It is alleged that the Lace of Canal CoMmissioner is worth, for the term, $lOO,OOO ' or more, depending upon the smartness , and de pravity of the incumbent—and from the fact that so many seek for it to whom the mere honor and salary could be no temptation, we are inclined to believe 'hal the allegation is correct. Such a sum, or any sum beyond the mere salary, can 'be made by no Other than dishonest means—and if the board, the head of the whole machinery, is corrupt, what can we expect but currupt, in all the subordinates I It is acknowleged that on the Allegheny Portage in the term of a single year, we believe, the com• moo wealth has been robbed of slo,ooo—perhaps double or treble that amount would not reach the sum actually stolen; on the Columbia road, the Collector's (Zee at Philadelphia has been guilty of peculation; these things are acknowleged— they are known to the canal board—and yet, al though months have elapsed since the facts be came public, and since the attention of the board has been drawn to them, nothing that we are aware of has been done to ferret out and punish the robbers. Thus has the system of state management ever worked, and thus will it ever work. It is cor rapt in its head and to all its members, and there can be no rational hope entered that it ever will be otherwise. This, at least is the general im pression, and this Impression leads to a strong desire, on the part or the people, to dispose of state improvements. But the figures are, after all, the intliceS to direct the public mind to the course properlo be pursued in relation to the public works. 'Their actual cost has been $32,t 542,267.77 the interest pat..l 011 the same has been F 35,167,796.13—the expense of conducting them has been nineteen and a half millions, and the entire revenue only $25,342,920.47. The to, tai cost of the state works to the present time, has been in round numbers, say $90,000,000, and we can show to meet this is a revenue of less than $26,000,000. When we add that new ap• propriations are asked, amounting to over $6," 000,1,100, the public may judge for themselves, whether, under such management of affairs a, we have had, and as we are likely to have, the interest of the people would he best promoted by retaining or disposing of the works.

The New Haven Ried.—The particulars of this affair show that the students were not the agues. sors. On Friday night ahnut twenty of them' were relurning peaceably, from a pl4e olainuse men's, and when near the College grounds, were attacl4(.l by about one hundred Irishmen, with brickbats, stones and other missiles ; several . students and others were seriouslyinjured, and one Irishman, Patrick O'Neil, was killed.' The students took refuge in the College. The as sailants then left. It was supposed that there . would be no further trouble. About one oclock at night they received word that a large party of Irishmen were advancing, with cannons. By . this time all the .students were aroused. They immediately closed :he windows, and barricaded the. doors with planks. In a short time about five hundred persons advanced, with two can nons, loaded with grape shot. They threatened to fire on the College, if the situleil by whose hands O'Neil receivod his , death blow was not forthcoming. This threat they woe ; prevented. from executing by the arrival of the police, who spiked the cannons. There is no doubt had they been permitted to execute their purpose, serious result would have ensued, as a large portion i w the students were armed with pistols., 'There Was great commotion in the streets all night; the bells were all ringing, and certainly the most ex, citing time in the streets of New Haven fur some time. It is not known by whom O'Neil was killed; it is not probable it will be. A Cure for Drunkenness The London Spectator mentions a curious remedy now in use in Swedish hospitals, for that form of madness which exhibits ibiclf in an un. controllable appetite for alcoholic stimulents, which wo commend to those of our readers who profess an interest in the fate of the unfortunate drunkard. The process is thus described:— We will suppose that the liquor which the patient is adscted to drinking, is the commonest in the c sordry—say gin. When he .eaters the hospital for treatment, he is supplied with his favorite drink, and with no other; if anything else is given to him, or any other food, it is 9a-' vored with gin.
