The Whig Meeting.
The meeting of the Whigs at Jesse Miller's, in
South Whitehall, was pretty well attended, con.
idering the disadvantage the party labors under
in this county, and the mismanagement of those
who figure at its head as lenders. The proceed.
lags will be given in our next. Charles Keck,
printer, of Allentown, presiding, assisted by
a number of Vice Presidents and Secretaries.
Synopsis of proceedings next week.
The Democratic Meeting
The preliminary, meeting of the Democratic
party on Saturday last, at Moyer's, in North
Whitehall, was the blimest affair ever got up in
the county. Deducting those who seek and hold
office, there were not half a dozen disinterested
persons present. Hon. Feta .Newhard, presid
ing, assisted by the usual number of Vice
Presidents and Secretaries. Many of the town
ships were not represented, and the compli
ment to fill the usual committee to draft reso
lutions, had to be filled by those present from
Allentown, who by-the-bye constituted nine
tenth!, of. the meeting, and who of course are
always ready to labor assiduously. for the rights
of the dearpeople. The Committee withdrew
and a string of stereotyped resolutions were Im
ported. The Great "Democratic Platform."
bandit) at Baltimore in 1852, which solemnly
compromised the great question of slavery,
henceforth and forever, was declared to be un
sound, rotten and unfit for use. New planks
were put in, embodying the introduction of
slavery in Territory now free—sanctioning Gov. ,
Bigler's courao against the sale of the public
Works—for an increase of the State debt
• against rotation in office—against "Know Noth
ingism—sanctioning the course of Congressman
Bridges—and silently passing over the dis•
tinguished services of Major Fry—and killing ,

the House of Representatives, we have bad for
many years; the latter gentlemen, becoming
rather , too popular for certain members who
figure behind the curtain, the political guile.
tine had to be applied, and the General was
beheaded without much ceremony. The talent,
ed Congressman, 'who as usual, had, the fixing
of the; resolutions to his own purpose, was
highly. pleased at their adoption, and delivered
himself of a regular stump speech of some two
hours length, to the dissztisfation of some hall
dozen "spouting lawyers" who were present
and willing to enlighten the "dear people."
Major Fry, who got up his ire at the disrespect
shown him in the resolutions, mounted the
Platform, and as it was of the same material as
the principles of his party, both being rotten to
the core, broke down, and the Major coming
plump upon his trotters, with a tremendous ha!
!la! ha! by the crowd, which had the effect of
silencing him. General &wry, who perhaps
is as hogest a man, as every represented Le•
high county in the Halls of Legislation, felt him
self grievoubly injured by the resolutions pas.

explanation of such aatrange course, but as the
motive was behind the curtain, the General was
put down by a motion to adjourn, which was
carried, and the meeting was declared adjourn,

laaphonour's Pardon
It is indeed ridiculous to see the shuffling
and-Itear the mia-statements of party zealots to
screen Gov : Bigler, front the j•iat iagignation
be has necessarily beeped upon himself in par ,
dotting Dr. Lachenour, of his fine and im•
prisonment. In order to blind the public more
fully political hacks are found in every town'
ship and borough, who blindly foltow the die:
tates of their masters, are circulating the f oport,
that the Governor had only remitted the impri ,
sonment and not the fine of the Doctor. For the
satisfaction of out milers we give below the
' [entwine of the Court as follows : "That he
~ p ay a fine of $2,50 0 to the esti of the county
of Northiunplon, be imprisoned in the count
ty Jail, and pay coots of suit."
The words of the pardon read thus: "I do,
therefore, in consideration of the premises,
pardon the said Dantet Lachenour of the crime,
wherabf he is convicted as aforesaid, and he
is herebyfullypardotird accordingly.
The sheriff of Northampton county, relying
• fully on the direction . . of the Executive, has set
Lachenour free witltord payment of the fine. .Shall
,the sheriff :ran the risk of au action for false lila.
prisonment and, re.arrest him, 01 ought the Com•
• monwealth prosecute the sheriff' for an escape.
It is to be hoped that the law officers of the Com
monwealth will counsel the officers of the county
as to how they ought to proceed under the cir
cumstances, In order to save the amount of fine
and costs td the honest tax.payers of the county.

The Great Work of Congrees.
The Pittsburg Gazette says that Congress, af
ter incubating for eight months, has brought
fourth-the following progeny :
The regular Appropriation bills.
The Kenna and Nebraska bill.
The bill providing for six srst•clasa war
steamers.
The Ten million bill of the Gadsden treaty.
The bill to give effect to the Canadian Reci
procity treaty.
The bill to graduate the price of Public Lands.
The Senate has also perfected the following
treaties :,
The Gadsen treaty.
The British Colonial Reciprocity treaty.
The Commercial treaty with Japan.
The Neutrality treaty with Russia,
The Minnesota Railroad Land bill, in which
was perpetrated the innocent fraud by the
Clerk,, Forney, was, on discovery of the. fraud
repealed. The indigent insane bill and the
River and Harbor bill were vetoed •„, the Horne
stead bill was defeated by the chicanery of the
administration;.the Ten Million swindle \v_ts
defeated by the hesitancy of the President s
friends; and all the other public weasuies of
the session were either swamped or got the
go-by.
Is not this a pretty record to go to_the corm.
try upon'! Eight months of precious time spent
and only a half dozen bills of public importance
to show for it! And of these half-dozen ; the
infamy of one is enough to overshadow the
meths of all the rest. The Nebraska bill was
an act of political scoundrelisrn which it would
require a great deal of counteracting good to
redeem but the perpetrators of it seemed inca
pacitated for good, and the beneficent measures
entrusted to their care dropped helpless and
from th — eir corrupt hand. They have done
and have left undone those things which they
ought to baire done, and there is no . political
health in them.
Ii a ganeral way, the country is not a losez
by the sparseness of legislation; but in this in.
stance there are bills passed which were not
called for, while others demanded by the pub
lic interest were lost. It is for the dominant
party to explain not only why they did so little
but why they did it so poorly and why they
took so long to do it.
The amount of money appropriated by this
Congress,, is from seventy to eighty millions of
dollars! And if the President's modest demand
for a contingent fund to fillibuster upon had
been complied with, it would have been ten
millions more! There's an economical admin
istration for you.
En John Quincy Adams' administration the
entire appropriation, during any one year was
thirteen millions, and a good part of that was
to pay the national debt created during the war
of 1812. And yet his administration was de
cried for its extravagance by its enemies, Buch
anan and Co., who now sanction and enjoy
enormous expenditure of the Pierce adminis
tration !—Lancaster Whig.

Pacific ftailivad.
A telegraphic dispatch was received in New
York from Hon R. J. Walker and Thom. Buller
King, dated Austin, Texas, 14th August, stat
ing that the Poverrigr of the State of Texas has
awarded to them, as representatives of the At
lantic and Pacific Railroad Company, the con
tract for building the Railroad, from the eas.
tern boundary of Texas to the town of p.l Paso
an the Rio Grande, through the whole State, a
distance of eight hundred miles. Under this
contract, by the terms of the charter they will
be 1311 000 to twenty sections oL land, of six
hundred and forty acres each, for every mile of
road, which will make the large aggregate of
10,240,000 acres .of land. A deport of 5300,-
000 required by the charter from the contrac
tors, as security for tho completion of the pad
which has bus been difly made, as we are (.-
formed.
Framers'lHlgli Sehool.
The committee appointed to report a,plan of
organization for the Farm School, of,llennsyl•
vania, are of opinion that Ito. good, would re.
suit from any eflorntk ... organize under the ex
listing law, owing to its being defective in sev
eral particulars—ihe most.important of which
is that it makes no, appropriation in aid of : the
project. if the next Legislature will sanction
the enterprise, by, amending the bill, anti , mak.
ing such an appropriation as the committee
deem necessary, they have the : meat entire
confidence in the ultfrnate success of the work.
Of the,importance ofthis enterprise, and its fa-
vorable effects upon the agricultural
s and 'in
dustrial interests of, the State, none who have
thoroughly examined the subject can doubt.—
The committee confidently look to the next
Legislature for such an amendment of the
bill as will make it practicable, and will there
fore proceed to receive propositions for the lo
cution of the school, to be submitted to the
kloard of Trustees as soon as the ineritution
shall have been organized. Communications
on this subject should be addressed to Hon.
Frederick Watts, Hon. George W. Woodward,
or A. L. Elwyn. We know of no , place in the
State better calculated for a location for this La
stitntion, than Allentown, and we trust our
citizens will attend to the matter in time.
Sketching—Professor R. M. Austin, has taken
rooms at Mr. Ittrie's Hotel, in Allentown, where
he will be happy to receive pupils, fur instruc•
Lion in his new method of Sketching. He, is tel.
ly prepared to give entire satisfaction in this
art, and persons need only to give him an op.
portunity of so doing. See his card in another
column.
lAedipal Bragging
Thai the bragging and lying now-a 7 days is I
not confined alone to politicians, lawyers,prin-
ters, can be seen from the follpwing arti
cle, which appears in the August number of,
"The Philadelphia. Medical and Surgical
Journal."
When a medical man will lie, • yve like to
hear him do it well. This way of half doing
things we never admired, but we must protest
against one or two practices common to our
profession, which we think censurable and dis
gustingly low down. We allude to the prac
tice of bragging to obtain business. We have
heard a mar. boast of seeing two hundred pa
tients a day in a country practice, and they at
various points. This was all fudge, and meni
al in the one who promillged it. We have
heard another say he had given a thousand do
sea of medicine in a day ; he never thought
there were only 1440 minutes in twenty-four
hours and to give {bat number of doses in a
day, would be to give one every minute 44
seconds from daylight to sundown, which is an
impossibility for any man in medicine. We
have heard another boast that he had made
66000 per year in a place where there were al.
most as many doctors as people and several of
them doing a larger practice than the boaster.
Now all such stuff is mere lying to get prac.
lice, ono of the lowest ways to obtain it a than
could possibly resort to; indeed it is a fraud
upon the crudulity of the patient, and cannot
be too severely reprimanded. Now, we ask
all our bragging brethren to be more modest;
4o not brag so largely; there are some eensi.
ble men in the world Who know better, and
we rarely fiver saw one of those boasting doc
tors but he Was a broken merchant.—Georgia
Blister, and Critic.
Pierce Economy.
A few years ago, the people of this coon•
try were aunually regaled by the locofoco piers
with essays on the extravagance'of whig ad
ministrations in spending about $30,000 : 000 to
keep the wheels of government in motion,
though a part of that sum was annually devot
ed a paying off the Expenses arising out of the
Mexican war. Now we are at peace with the
world—we have no extraordinary call for hea.
vy expenditures; except such as may be creat
ed by the present patent demoevey who
! alp
at Washington, yet the eXponaos of govern
ment are on a mate heretofore unknown, in
truth so heavy that it is difficult to conceive
what can be done with the enormous sums
voted by Congress. But even the immense
, amounts voted below, was not all that was
asked for by the Pierce adVhinistration, ten mil.
lions having been desired to embroil the coun
try in n war with Spain, but which even a ve
nal Congress could net be brought to give; and
it is also believed that an additional -sum of
several millions is even now desired to pur
chase the Sand Which islands ! Honest taxpay
ers and Well meaning citizens may well be
startled at the extravagance perpetrated in the
name of "democracy," and if they do no now?
they will soon ask themselves, where this will
end? We have subjoined the list of appropria
tions made by Congress at its recent session
and approved by Franklin Pierce.—Leivistoton

The Pennsylvanian and smaller organs of
the. bogus-Democracy, violently denounce
Judge Pollock as a Know-Nothing, although,
he has never, joined the order, while at the
same time they support Henry S. Mott, candi
date for Canal Commissioner, who is asserted
to be a Know-Nothing t t The holy indignation
expressed by these Jesuitical organs against
the Know-Kothings, must excite only contempt,
when the base use it is applied to is known.
Know•Nothingism is all ight if it appears in
the person of bogos.Democratic office-seekers,
but awful in a freeman who votes independent
of party harness; and there is not a doubt that
if the Catholic vote was with the Whigs, as it
is with their , moat fierce and unrelenting "per
secutors." It is plain to.he seen that in sup
porting an avowed and well known Know-
Nothing, for. a State office, these organs expose
-theif base hypocrisy and.double-dealing. They
that game is their, only object, no matter how
obtained, and that if they were certain of it
without the aid of the Catholic influence, the
followers of that faith might look to some other
party for their vindicators. Who doubts 'hie
Synopsis of School Decisions.
The 331 section of the school law authorises
every board of Directors to lessy the special tax
for building school houses, and confers the same
authority upon boards of Controllers in cities
and boroughs, where the school property is vest.
ed in them.
Trustees of School properly held by them for
the general use of a neighborhood, and dedicated
to common "school purposes," should convey
the same to the school district in which it is lo
cated, upon the same terms and for the same
uses for which it was conveyed to the Trustees ;
but they cannot be compelled to make such con
veyances. Whenever such purposes, the own
ership will revert to the grantors, heir heirs or
sssigus.
The law requires Directors to provide for not
less than four • months schooling for every ifidi.
vidual in their district "above the age of five, and
under twenty-one years." They cannot there
fore, be compelled to admit individuals above
tbe age of twenty - one years, but are not
prohibited from doing so.
Directors can not be required to employ teach.
ers comperent to give instruction to deaf and
dumb pupils.
The 26th section of the school law is strictly
penal in its nature, and, like all such laws, can
only be enforced by the courts. The opinion a
the Superintendent, therefore, as to the construc•
lion it may properly bear, is merely advisory.—
Should any citizen feel that the section had been
violated, he could institute a prosecution, as in
any other criminal case. The court and jury
would determine the law as well as the guilt or
innocence of the accused, without being control.
led by the opinion of the Superintendent of corn.
mon Schools, or perhaps even being influenced
by it. The object of the section is to preven:
imposition upon the public in the selection and
inn-eduction of school books, to prevent changes
being made from pecuniary motives, to guard
and protect the reputations and good names or
the Directors who determine what books shall
be used in the schools, and to give a guaranty
to the public that books will not and cannot be
imposed upon them from unworthy selfish mo.
lives, &c., and hence the construction given the
section by the Superintendent, published in the
last cumber of the School Journal.—Pa. School

Condition of Our Navy.
At present we have only 72 vessels of war in
our Navy. Of these ten are ships of the line,
mounting 872 guns; thirteen are frigates, mount'
log 656 guns ; twenty are sloops of war of 400
guns one schooner of 3 guns ; fifteen steamers
mounting 122 guns; and nine storeships,mount..
jog 42 guns; giving an aggregrate of 2,11,5 guns
This is however the available force by any
means. Of the ships of the line, four are at pre°
sent on the stoclu, carrying 935 guns. Two
frigates of 100 guns are also on the stockers.—
Deducting these 436 guns from the grand aggre.
gate, you perceive that the available force of the
navy is 1,679 guns. Of the whole number, forty
five are now In commision, mounting 875 guns.
Of these torty.five ; five are used as receiving
ships, mounting 209 guns. Deduct this from the
total in commission, it is discovered that the
whole navy employed on sea services amount& to
669 guns. This is a fine naval force for the
greatest nation on earth ; a nation which has
more sea coast than any other two in the world.
An American in England.—A correspondent
of the Providence Jon Vital, writing from I,ondon
says:
tt An Englishman takes great pride in haying
his nether integuments well polished and whole•
His head must also be crowned with a hat in
good condition. Every body in England but a
hod•carrier wears a hat ; and to be characteris
tic, the style must be somewhat still; and the
brim narrow. Thp large number of bats with
weeds upon them will attract the notice of a
stranger. Every third person wears this badge
of mourning. It is put on at the decease of those
but slightly related, or for friends only, without
connexion by. blood, 'and worn much longer than
with us. I take great pleasure in looking at the
faces of Englfehmen, they are so calm and heal
thy looking. They do not grow old fast, and are
seldom"channelled deep with wrinkles, as are
the faces of our people. This owing mostly, no
doubt, to the moist climate, b9t also to the fresh,
moist, unworn mind. Our climate is so dry and
sunshiny that we squint a great deal, which
wrinkles the forhead perpendicularly, and pro
duces crowstfeet prematurely. We are also
much more nervous and lIIIIJOKIS than our broth*
ars on this side. lam constantly meeting in the
street peculiar looking peqple, yet with such a
familiar aspect, that it seems as if I must have
met them many times before. Suddenly I rev
member that itwas nowhere else but in the pages
of Punch. It amuses one greatly * to meet con•
stonily the originals, in low life particuliarly,
from which the Punch pictures) are drawn.

Gov. Bigler and Nebraska.
The, Hon. E. B. thugs, the late speaker of the
house of representatives, fur reasons best known
to himself, has given tangible form' to the insi
4ious Whisper. that G9y. Bigler prevented an
expression being given in favor of the Nebraska
bill by the late democratic state convention. It
will be remembered that M. Chase, is editor of
the Montrose Democrat, and ft is in the last num,
ber of that paper that he speaks as follows:
'We know that Gov. Bigler, after nomination
by. the convention, said to those persops who
were present and.determined that the convention
should pass resolutions in favor of the Nebraska
bill—.gentlemen, if the convention pass such
resolutions, it must nominate another candidate,
for I will not endorse and run orlon such a plat
form.' We know that he said this, for he said it
in our presence, and with an emphasis that put
to flight the efforts of those to whom it was ad
dressed."—Keyslone.
We know that Governor Iligler has said to
Democrati of the highest character for truth
and veracity, in Harrisburg, that he approves
of the principles of the Nebraska and Kansas
bill.—Harrisburg Telegraph,
A Peep at the N. Y. Custom House
The Daily National Democrat, an Administra.
lion paper, published in New York, in an article
urging reform in the New York Custom House,
lets us a little into the secret as to the manner in
which the offices in that place are filled. Com,
went from us is unnecessary. Coming from
those having a right to know, we presume there
is seine. truth in it.
..A private letter from Washington informs
us that the President sent for Secretary Guthaie
two or three days ago, and requested him to wrcfP l
to Mr. Redfield, the head clerk in the New York
Custom House, instructing him to turn no more
Democrats out of office. Our correspondent was I ,
furthermore assured by a personal friend of the
President, and a member of his Kitchen Cabi -
net, that it is conceeded that the Custom house
in this city has been managed very badly by
Cochrance,Van Buren & Co. To say that it has
been damaged "badly" is tame talk—'damnably'
is the word. But the President dare not turn
them out. "There are now at responsible posts
in that place forty or fifty thieves, boxers shoul
der hitters, thimble-riggers pugilists, assassins,
and common blackguards, who would lick all
creation if their masters are disturbed." If the
President were to attempt to put other men in
their places, they would have their eyes knock.
ed out, if, indeed, the Custom House was not
burnt down over their heads. No, Governor
Marcy dare not recommend, the removal of Coch,
ranc, even if he were desirous of doing, it, at the
present time, for the short boys would take his
breeches off his body, and ride the whole Cabi•
net on a rail, before they will allow themselves
to be disturbed in their "responsible posts under
government." So , we despair of any thing be•
ing done to relieve the Custom House of its ter
rible burthen of disgrace.
A Sad Story
The following extraordinary case occurred in
Mississippi under the slave laws of that
State ; planter was afflicted , with a loath I
some disease. So offensive were his nieces that
he was deserted by bis white friends ; and while
thus afflicted and forsaken, a girl, whom he own.
ed as a slave, kindly and patiently waited upon
him, dressed his ulcers, cleansed his person, and
watched over him until he eventually recovered.
With gratitude and affection to his benefactor,
he took her to Cincinnati, 0., executed to her a
deed of manumission, had it recorded, returned to
Mississippi, and there married her in legal form.
They lived together affectionately for many
years, reared a family of children, and as he lay
upon his death bed, by will he divided his prop
erty between his Wife and children, His broth
ers hearing of his death, came forwatd and de,
rnanded the property. The widow and children
were indignant at the demand. They, too, were
seized and the validity of that marriage and will
was tried before Judge Sharkey, of that State
who decided that the whole matter was a fraud
upon the law of slaiery—that the property be
longed to the c?lletetial heirs. Ills widow was
sold by the surviving brothers, his children were
bid off at public auction, and both mother and
children now toil in chains, or sleep in servile
graves."
The Substance of the Matter.—The resulting
suni of ihe discussion seemed to be this : That
the Cholera begins with painlees diarrhea, which
is easily cured. But if neglected it ends in the
true cholera symptoms, which arc exceedingly
dangerous. That any impropriety of diet or heb•

likely to produce it —That for Its care, gentle
tonic laxatives in the first stages, calomel mod,
erately, and opium and camphor largely, mus.
tard poultices, hot air baths, gentle frictions and
absolute rest are the best. By °absolute rest"
they mean that the patient shall be still. Dr. J.
Wood remarked that he should not stir on any
account whatever, and if he will be still, he will
be amazed to find that his occasions for rising
do not come on perhaps throughout the whole
