Amendments to the Constitution. The proposed amendments to the Constitu tion of this Commonwealth, which were adopt ed by the last Legislature, are published in the Register to-day, by authority. A vote or the people will be taken upon them at the October election. If a majority is cast in their favor, they will be referred to the next Legislature, and if adopted by that body, they will then be come a part of the Constitution. What Allentown Wants. There is nothing which tends so much to the improvement of a town or city, as its maufac tories. This is a truth which experience has amply attested. Circumstances may often fa vor a place, advantage of location or the like— and give it a rapid growth, but unless that growth is accompanied by a corresponding in crease of manufacturing business, it soon ar rives at its culminating point, and either stands still or begins to want. It may do a good and prosperous mercantile business, but even that is circumscribed by the limited coun try trading at that point. Whereas, Manufac turing establishments, driven with energy, find an outlet for their productions and can ex tend their business over an almost limitless ex tend of country, and invariably bring trade and custom to the door of the merchant. As their business extends the demand for workmen in creases. Mechanics are induced to settle where they can find constant and profitable employ ment. New families are thus added to the town or village. Every new family adds to the business of the merchants. As the town in creases in population new stores spring up. There is a greater competition in securing the productions of the farmer. The market is bet ter. Farmers bring their products to the mar ket where they can obtain the best prices fur them, and the country trade becomes more ex tensive, as the competition increases. Every branch of business is improved, and the town grows on. It is in vain to expect a large pop ulation in a simply trading town. There must, be something else—something to furnish em ployment for that population. Men cannot live on air, consequently they are forced elsewhere, where they can find employment, and obtain the means of living. A limited country trade will support but a limited mercantile business —a limited population is the consequence, for population and employment depend mutually on each other. What then is obvious ?—either the towm must extend itself by means of man ufactories, or remain within, circumscribed limitS. It is the interest then, of all, mer chants, capitalists, landholders and others, to encourage and aid in the establishment of such branches of business, which, while they are ; lucrative to the proprietors, furnish employ ment to mechanics, increase the population— extend th‘e business, augment capital, and en hance the value of real estate. New Railroad Arrangements On Monday last the Summer arrangement on the 1.. V. Railroad was entered into, and henceforth two passenger trains will fun daily between Mauch Chunk and Easton. The down trains leave Allentown at 5,41 A. M. and '„l6 P. M., arriving at Easton at 6,40 A. M. and 3,10 , P. M. The up-trains leave Easton at 7, A. M. and 12,56 P. M., arriving at Allentown at 7,54. A.M. and 1,12 P. M. With these admirable arrangements, we predict a large amount of kical travel. Many who have never seen the delightful mountain sceneries up the Lehigh, will now have an opportunity to do so, at a very trifling expense. A Valuable Property at Public Salo By reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen that the highly valuable tract of land, of Stephen Ballict, deceased, in North Whitehall township, is to be sold nt public sale on Saturday the 19th of July. The tract em braces the largest and most lucrative Iron Ore Mines in the County, and . althoug h they have been worked for more than a quarter of a cen tury, and to a depth of some 80 feet, the pros pect for a continuous and abundant supply is as favorable as at any former period. It is but seldom that lands with such a store of weatit are brought into "market, and therefore it is worth drawing the attention of capitalists there- Addtess by Ex-Gov. Reeder. At the request of . a number of citizens of this place, Ex-Gov. Reeder, of Kansas, deliver ed a speech on Kansas • affairs. in the Court House, on Tuesday evening last, before a very largo audience. Ho spoke about ono hour and a half, of the great wrongs done to the set tlers in Kansas, and of the crushing influence, now in progress to subdue them to the slave power, all of which was listened to with-marked attention, and his remarks approved by fre quent applause. The vey worst reports that have reached us from this unfortunate territory of the vile and unjust outrages committed by the border ruffians are confirmed by him. It will be borne in mind that he is fresh from the scenes in Kansas, an eye-witness of the outragei in that quarter, and was obliged to, fly from the Territory to escape the fury of the Border Ruffians. He intends shortly qb commence a tour to relate to the free people of the North s how the South endeavored to get power there in order to convert the territory into slavery, and of the invasions, murders, lynchings, ar rests and other outrages committed upon the defenceless Free State men of Kansas, who emigrated to that territory to settle there, Its peaceful, industrious and enterprizing citizens, whose only object was to spread the blessings, and enlarge the borders of civilization, secure comfortable homes for themselves and families, and " make the wilderness blossom as the rose." He declared that his object in coming East is to procure aid for tho free State settlers in Kansas, and that it is then his intention to return and take his chances with theni. Fatal Affray at Catasauqun On Monday evening of last week an affray occurred on the canal bridge at Catasauqua, between several boatmen, which terminated fa tally to one of them named Siegfried, from South Easton. It appears Siegfried got into a quarrel on the In idge with a boy belonging to another boat, of which an Irishman named Shayne was captain, and whipped him.— Shayne and his brother who were near by thereupon interfered and defended the boy in their employ, which brought on a regular scuf fle, during which captain Sheyne picked up an arm of a boat•rudder and struck Seigfried a vi olent blow over the head, which caused his death in five hours thereafter. The offender made his escape. We endeavored to get the full particulars of the unfortunate occurrence, but could not learn anything more than the above. ENGLAND. Within the past few days, three European steamers have reached our shores—the Asia at New York'; the North America at Quebec, and the Ciounia at Boston. Ify them our dates are to the 21st ult. The news of the dismissal of Crampton had reached England; and been ex tensively commented upon by the Press and People. Mr. Dallas it is understood will not be dismissed, but it is believed no representative will be sent to our country dining the present Administration. The skies are calm. and clear again. There is nothing else by these steamers of special interest. Isas. The Bill pending before Congress, for the ad mission of Kansas as a State under a Free Con stitution, was defeated in the House by one mej. The vote was taken on the 30th ult., and stood 100 for admission 'and 107 against. A motion to reconsider the vote was made, and has not yet been passed uron. THE rounTsr. The glorious Fourth—the Sabbath day of Freedom—was not observed with much dem onstration in this place. , The day was ushered in by the ringing of bells and firing of cannon. Early hi the morning the Allen Rifles, Capt. Coed, paraded.., They were out in strong numbers, and made a fine and creditable •ap pearance. • Several picnics left town (luring the fore. noon, resolved on spending the day in eating, drinking and merry-making. In the evening the scholars of the Allentown Seminary had a pleasing celebration in the beautiful lawn in front of the school buildings, consisting of appropriate recitations and vocal and instrumental music. Toasts appropri ate to the occasion wore also read, which were fittingly responded to, some by scholars and others by citizens. On the whole the en tertainment was creditable alike to the schblars and principal of the institution. Notwithstanding the Proclamation issued by the Burgess, the Chinese crackers and other gunpowder devices, which fizzed, and cracked, and whizzed and banged, from. daylight to long after midnight, would .have beef emus enough, if collected tx29*eyrtircave fdrnished Vesuvius with at least a month's fuel. Such a profuse cowription of ".villainous salt-petre" wcfiCieer before witnessed in our town. But the pent-up patriotism of Young America will 'have vent, once a year, at least, and all warn ings, ordinances, proclamations, laws, pains, penalties, et cetera, tire powerless to arrest it. Those who don't like this mode of honoring our Nation's birth-day, must needs give way to the majority, and grin and bear it. Drowned. On Saturday morning last, an Irishman named MICHAEL MoanTEurv, who had assisted in unloading a coal boat, at Hockendauqua, was drownd in the canal at that place, while bathing. Some of the hands on the boat made efforts to rescue him, but. without success. It is supposed ho was seized with cramp. His body Isms shortly afterwards recovered and sent to Mauch Chunk for interment. tr? The Directors of the proposed Reading nd Allentown Railroad have elected M. LY oxs, Esq., Chief Engineer of the line. Mr. LYONS is at present engaged on the Lebanon Valley Railroad. T-HE LEHIGH REGISTER, JULY .9, 1856. Boys Take Notice. There is a practice in vogue in our town; by boys and young men, that is bad and decidedy reprehensible. We mean the defacing, alter ing and tearing dokn of handbills. Sometimes, they are hardly 41 before they are defaced, mutilated or torn down. As an instance, we the other day put up. about town some col. ored posters relating to our own busines many of which we a few hours thereafter no- I ticed had been so too and mutilated as to be I completely destroyed. The same we noticed to be the case with many others. Many of the large and costly bills put up by the agent for Sharpley's Minstrels, were torn down 'the same afternoon they were put up. Frequently we have noticed the mutilation of bills by the cutting out of letters so as to make them read altogether differently and ridiculously. Such a course of proceedings exhibits traits of van dalism that is by no means creditable to the town, nor to any one that indulges in such an unbecoming practice. It matters not what kind of bills are put up, no one has a right to interfere with them, and for the information of all whom it may concern, we will state, that unless we labor under a very great mistake, I persons committing such disreputable acts arc liable to arrest and punishment. There is a penalty for tearing down handbills of any kind of a considerable amount. Those in the habit of doingthis kind of work had then better take notice otherwise they might perhaps at some time find - themselves in a scrape not so easy to be got out of as it was to get in. The Report of the Kansas Committee. The Committee sent on by Congress to Kan sas several months ago, to investigate and take testimony regarding the election frauds, etc., in-that territory, returned to Washington last week and since made public their Report. The document is very voluminous. The worst re ports of pro•slavery aggression in Kansas, are tame compared to this official investigation. It shows conclusively that the Free State men of Kansas have been exposed to the most bar. barons. tyrannical oppression. The conclu sions of the Committee arc, that each of the elections in Kansas was carried by invasions from Missouri ; that the Legislative Assembly is an illegally constituted body, and therefore has no power to pass valid laws. For these reasons enactments arc void. The following from the Report shows the outrageous frauds committed by the Missourians at the election of members of the Territorial Legislature : cAnsus of Votes i.o!zal Wean! Dial. %'ott.rs.

North. l'ennsylvaala Railroad The work on the North Pennsylvania Rail road is progressing. The great barrios against which the company had to contend, outside of its financial embarrassments, were the Gwynedd tunnel and cut, 500 feet long, and the tunnel near Sellersville, 2160 feet long, both of which iire finished. The bridge across the Wissahickon is completed, and up to the cut the road is in most excellent order. At, the intersection of the Lehigh Valley Rail road, the work of laying the track will com mence in a few days: The tics and iron for the whole road have been purchased, and al ready a considerable portion has been deliver ed. The distance from Philadelphia to the GWypedd tunnel is about 1.0 miles ; from there to 'Doylestown, 13 ; from Gwynedd to the Sel lersville tunnel 7 : and from that to the Lehigh 19 ; making the main stem 55 miles long, and the branch 13—total I.l'B miles. In April, 15,- 277 passengers, or 509 per day, went over the road.

The Tariff: The adjustment of the Tariff, in conformity to the policy of England and other tuitions, so as to cnecornge the import of raw materials, dye stuffs, &c., required by our manufacturers, is looked upon as one of the most important measures that could claim the attention of Con gress. The capital employed in woolen manu factures in the United States has been nearly exhausted, within the last few years, in losses under the disadvantages with which it has been compelled to struggle. Tt is, in fact, not be lieved to be worth more than twenty-five cents on the dollar of the investment, and can never recover as long as the ditty levied on raw mate rial is greater than that upon the manufactured article, the raw material of which the foreign manufacturer receives duty.free. If this mat ter be not speedily attended to, we are likely to lie left almost-without woolen manufactures, and without any home'market for our wool. rTTIIE WAY nun COUNTRY INCREASES IN POPULATION SO Rtsr.--By the official reports of emigration from Great Britain and 'lreland, it appears that since the year 1815, in which the great Napoleonic war terminated, nearly 4,300,000 persons have emigrated from the United Kingdom to the United States and the 'ltritish colonies, of which total more than 2,62(1- 000 emigrated during the last nine years. For a succession of years the efflux was inconsider able, but the Irish famine which occurred in 1847„swelled the stream to an annual average of 305,000 souls for eight years, ending with 1854. During the last four years the number of emigrants has been 368,764 in 1852 : 329,- 937 in 1853 ; 323,429 in 1854, and 170,807 in 1855. The Irish (migration for the lest live years was 254,537 in 1851 ; 224,997 in 1852 192,609 in 1853 ; 150,200 in 1854, and 73,854 in 1855. During the year 1855 no less than 22,821 emigrants returned to their original homes, of whom 18,102 came from America, and 1419 from Australia. FILL:IIORK vs. FREMONT.—In this State, the Republican party now have the support of a majority of the old Whig journals, and the pro babilities are in favor of it becoming the strong est party of the two at the Polls. Jndications aro pointing in that direction now. In that case, the question will arise among a large number of old Whigs, whether to throw their vote away on Fillmore, or ettst it for Buchanan or Fremont. n' Tllll TERRITORY OF THE UNITED STATES.- According to a correspondent of the Boston 'Transcript, the whole area of the United States in 1700, the original territory, was no more than 820,630 square miles. Louisiana, in 1803 extended the area to 1.720,258 square miles Florida, irl.- 3 .,-R213; i01.t87,159 ; Texas, in 1845, Oregon in 18.46, and California, in 1848, 2,036,- 166 square miles. iii Tnt: KANSAS Thounixs.—A letter from St. Louis 1 . 110 been received by the New York Kansas League, dated the 19th, saying that drafts have been received there from Boston for the use of the distressed in and about Lawrence. From one gentleman two thousand dollars was received. An agent from Boston had also vis ited Chicago authorizing the raising of all the men possible, and giving riledges to pay of, ex penses of the parties. YousG Hmanss.—The will of Jabez Barber, of Chicago, 141inois, who, with his wife and eldest daughter,'wero passengers on the id-fated Pacific, was opened on the 16th ult., before the Judge of Probate. The bulk of his• property, amounting to $250,000, will fall to the only surviving child, a little girl three years old. Ilis will makes bequests of $l,OOO to the American and Foreign Missionary Society, $l,- 000 to the American Home Society, $l,OOO to the American Bible Society, and $3,000 to the Third Presbyterian Church, Chicago. OIL FROM 0/AL.—MOWS. Cairns, of Clover port, Ky., inform The Scientific American that they havecommenced to manufacture oil, on a considerable) largo scale, from the highly bitu minous Brgkenridge coal. They have erected twelve large retorts for thepurpose. I:IEXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT TN NEW Yong; —Lewis Stryker, a colored porter in the dry goods house of Messrs. %stifleld & Clark, No. 88 Liberty street, NeW York, was arrested, on Tuesday, taken before Alderman Clancy at the Lower Police Court, charged with a se ries of embezzlements, amounting, in the last five years, to $25,000 or $30,000. Stryker had been in the above store for eight years, and had the entire confidence of his employers, who never, for a moment doubted his integritY. Stryker acknowledged that he had taken the' goods, and disposed of them to a German at very low rates. None of the goods, however, have as yet beeti recovered. Stryker had in vested about $4OOO of the proceeds of these embezzlements in lowa land warrants and real estate, all of which he has transferred to his employers. Such was the attachment of the employers for their porter that, oven at this stage of the proceedings, they entered a complaint against him for petty larceny only. He stands committed for trial. fr7DISINFECTING AGENT.-NOW is the time to attend carefully to the purifying of premises reeking with animal or vegetable matter. The Scientific American says that the best and most simple disinfecting agent known is the chloride of zinc. It is made by dissolving zinc in muri atic acid, and is applied in a diluted state to foul and offensive drains, cess-pools, &c. The sulphate of zinc, however, is nearly as good, is cheaper, and is more easily managed. It can be purchased of any druggist in the form of a salt. A pound of it dissolved in two pails or warm water, and thrown into an offensive cess pool, will soon deodorize it. During the hot weather, this disinfecting agent should be ap plied pretty freely. Copperas (sulphate of iron) may be applied in the same manner and for the same purpoke. It is not so good a disinfectant as the chloride of zinc, but is much cheaper. 1:0 -- A HERO OF TIM ItETOLITTION.-7311% Itu• fus Cogswell, a revolutionary pensioner died in Essex, Massachusetts, on the 17th instant, aged 100 years. Mr. Cogswell was a soldier of the revolutionary war, and was in the American army under Gates at the capture of Burgoyne. At the time of his death he was the oldest per son in the town, if not in the county. Ile had been blind for the last fifteen years. AUBURN AND ALLENTOWN RAIL ROAIL—We learn that the Engineers have located the Road from Auburn to Allentown. The ascending grade at no one point between Auburn and Al. lentown will exceed 12 feet to a mile, on straight lines. We are assured that one of Ross \Vinan's , Coal Burning Engines can haul 120 Cars loaded with Coal over this grade with comparative ease. We expect to be favored with a Report of its location,- expense of con struction, &c.--Poltsville Journal. al7 - TSCIEASE OF WHITE POPI7LATION.—ItiS stated that the free white population of South Carolina has not doubled in sixty years. In 1790, it was 140,178, and in 1850, 274,563. while the slave population has nearly quadru pled. In Virginia, tho, white population has about doubled. 137'A Terrible Accident occurred on the Del. aware Wharf, at the foot of R:ed Street, Phila. dclphia, on Tuesday evening.

No young man of talents, but has had enemies such as these' to encounter—men who seem to take a fiendish delight and cherish a certain malicious pleasure i seeking to depress everything like genuineAntlusiasm and the bouyant ambition of the bright boy or brilliant young man. This, arises half from their mal ice, and as much from sheer ignorance of the nature and temperament of genius. When the climber upwards has gained his place . attiong its peers, then it is that these miserable flat terers cringe and fawn as basely as they for merly maligned and ridiculed him, and would I fain crowd out of sight his old. friends and staunch adherents. In his green age and buil ding season—the yputh of genius craves and requires sympathy. It is with him especially, (and in a measure with all men,) an intellect ual want, as evident as the coarsest necessary elements of existence. A 'Western Editor ➢lakes the following appeal to his delinquent subscribers : " 0, you tarnal sap heads, you green-tailed lizards, why don't you come along and pay for your paper ? Do you suspect that I am such a consummate blockhead, such a short sighted, white-livered numbskull, such an infernal fool, as to stay here to print, right in Alio midst of n swamp country, where the air is So dense with ague that you have to cut your way through it with a broad axe—where it shakes the hair ow the back, and the teeth out of the mouth, of the very wild bog itself, unless you pay fur it ? If you do, you're suck ed that's all." ri — Wlirrist; BlifeßS.—lt is important that every one engaged in building should ho well informed in regard to the durability of materi• als. Very few people, or even builders, are aware of the advantage of wetting bricks be fore laying them, or if they aro aware of it, they do not practice it ; for of the many houses now in progress in this , place, there are very few in which wet bricks aro used. A wall twelve inches thick, built of good mortar with bricks well soaked, is stronger in every respect than one sixteen inches thick build dry. The reason of this is, that if the bricks are saturated with water, they will not abstract from the mortar the moisture which is necessary to its crystalization; and on the contrary they will chemically unite with the mortal; and become ns solid as a rock. On the other hand, if the bricks are put up dry, they immediately take all the moisture from the mortar, leaving it too dry to harden, and the consequence is, that when a building of this description is taken down or tumbles down of its own accord, the mortar from it is like so much sand. [l:7 - Holloway's prlls, a certain cure fir termi nation of Blood to the Head.—Elias Hope, one of the most celebrated advocates of temperance in the Union, admits that he suffered more than any one he ever heard of from termination of blood to the head, although ho was most abste mious both in eating and drinking, also in tak rest, yet he was so bad at times, that in the midst of his most eloquent discourses, ho was compelled to leave off addressing his audi tors, and on several occasions has been carried away from meeting completely senseless. Hav ing seen the good ellbcts of Holloway's Pills, ho was induced to give them a trial, and, to' use his own words, they acted like magic. It is fourteco,months ago since he commenced taking .this celebrated medicine, which completely cur ed him in two months, and ho has not had any return of this complaint since. These Pills aro wonderfully efficacious in all disorders of the stomach and bowels. ry - The Election Frauds in California were of a most astounding character. At the Crys tal Springs precinct, Where there were but 50 voters, 240 votes were returned ; in BelmOnt 340 - votes were returned for 30. voters ; and at Lilly's 500 votes for 40 voters. Men were elect ed whose names were not on any ticket, and Who were not known as candidates, and some of the successful candidates received 217 votes more from the precincts than there were voters in the county. Altogether, there were returned three times as many votes as• there were voters in the country. I:l7'A SCENE' Ix Ommon.--In the Epiphany Protestant Episcopal Church, of Philadelphia. on Sunday last, Rev. Dr. Tyng, preached a ser mon against Slavery anci.the Kansas outrages.
