THE "LEHIGH.REGISTER" HAS A LARDER
CIRCULATION' BY SEVERAL HUNDRED
THAN ANY OTHER ENGLISH PAPER IN
THE COUNTY.
FOR GOVERNOR:
Col. Andrew G. Curtin,
OF CENTRE COUNTY
The Tariff Piofessimus of the Demooratio
Party juAged by their acts.
The Democritio Politicians of this section
of Pennsylvanin aro so loud in their profes
fessions of regard and love for a protective
tariff, that we fool inclined to test the sincerity
of their professions by their acts. If they
seek to gain political strength by a loud cry for
a protective tariff, and the party, tvhen once
in power, uses all its influenoe against protec
tion, we can use no milder language, than 'to
term their professions hypocritical attempts to
deceive and hood-wink the public. The poli
cy of the Democrats of Pennsylvania on the
tariff question for years, we boldly affirm, has
been hypocritical and 'deceitful. The cry in
1844 of "Polk, Dallas and the tariff of 1842"
has in substance been the rallying cry at every
election since.
The tariff of 1857, under which the country
is now groaning and prostrate, Was passed at
the suggestion of a Democratic President, by
a Democratic Senate, and a House of Repro
tatives in which the Republican party wore in
a minority. The Republican party, however,
by a plurality, not a majority vote, elected Mr.
Banks Speaker. The committee of Ways and
Means, or at least a majority of the committee,
were in favor of protection, and reported a tar
iff bill to the House, which finally passed that
body. The bill came to a Democratic Senate
and was there defeated, and. it was only after
this defeat, 'and tho refusal of the Senate to
yield to the House, that the tariff bill of 1857
was enacted. And yet .in the face of those
plain and undeniable facts, Democratic news
paper scribblers, and Democratic stump and
street babblers . and brawlers, have had the im
pudence and effrontery to charge the tariff of
1857 on the Republican party.
On Monday of last week Mr. Merril, (Rep.)
of Vermont, attempted to introduce a tariff bill
into the House, the same in substance, as the
one, with which at tho last session of Congress,
he sought to repeal the tariff of 1857. Under
the rules of the HOll9O its introduction at . the
time required a suspension of the rules and con
sequently a two-third 'vote. The vote in favor
of the suspension of the rules stood 102 in tho
affirmativo to 69 in the negative. A two-third
vote was not secured, but the vote establishes
the fact, that a large majority of the House are
in favor of the repeal of the tariff of 1857, that
a better 'tariff bill will pass the House, and that
if it be defeated, it must be by a Democratic
Senate. By;an examination of the vote, it will
be found that Mr. Merril • was supported by
eight -two Republicans, thirteen Southern
Americans, two Administration Democrats,
Florence and Montgomery of Pennsylvania,
five Anti-Lecompton Democrats, Hickman
and Schwartz of Pennsylvania, Adrain and
Riggs of New Jersey, and Haskin of Now
York, each of whom was elected against the
regular Democratic nominee, with the assis
tance of Republican votes. Mr. Spinner of
New York, three Southern Americans, and
sixty-five Democrats voted in the negaitve. In
order to be in favor of Mr. Morril's resolution,
it was not required, that every person voting
in the affirmative should sanction every fea
ture of the bill. The simple introduction of
the bill, in order to give the tariff a preference
over other qUestions, was 'asked for, and after
the adoption of the resolution, the bill would
have been subject to amendment, We can ac
count for the sixty-five Democrats voting as
they did, only upon the hypothesis, that they
wish the tariff of 1857 to remain as it is. The
Republioans,'save one man, were a unit. With
this exception the tariff Republicans of Penn
sylvania were most heartily responded to by
united delegations of their Republican brethern
of the States of Maine, Vermont, New Hamp
shire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, RhOde Is
land, Now York, New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois,.
Michigan, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
lowa. It has been argued, that New England
Republicans and Western Republicans are
hostile to the interests of Pennsylvania The
old Whig Party, undeniably a tariff party, in ,
its palmiest days, never showed a bettor rec
ord on the tariff question, than have the Re
publicans of the present Congress. The Whig
Party passed the tariff of 1842, and there were
a - few deserters 'in their own ranks, when the
vote came on. the passage of the measure. The
Republican . Representatives in Congress, with
the exception of one, wore a unit on the intro
duction of Mr. Morril's
The Republican Party cannot be otherwise
than the friend of American manufactures
and American industry. The same generous
impulses, which make the Republican Party
opposed to the further extension of slavery,
must render it in favor of the mechanic, the
manufacturer, and the interests of the free
white laborer. The interests of slavery are
antagonistic to the mechanic, to the mauufac
turer and the interests of the free white labo
rer, and therefore is it, that the South, main
taining herself by breeding negroes, and rais
in); sugar, cotton and tobaco with slave labor,
must rely on the North for her supply of arti
. cies furnished by the mechanic and manufac
turer. Republicans of Pennsylvania, if they
would successfully advocate a tarift, must do
so in their own party, and the success of their
own party alone can secure the passage of a
protective tariff bill, and prevent the present
ruinous tendency of the Government in the di
reetlon of free-trade.
REPUBLICAN VICTORY IN RZADING.—The
municipal election in tho city of Reading on
Friday last resulted in the election of a Re
publican Mayor, a Republican Treasurer, three
Republican Auditors, all the members of the
Select Council, all the Councilmen but four,
both their candidates for Alderman, and a ma
jority of the Ward Officers. This, states the
Berke and Schuylkill Journal, is the first tri
umph over the United Opposition in the histo
ry of Reading.
EXECUTION OP STEPHENS AND HAZLETT.-
Stephens and Hazlett, the last of the convicted
Harper's Ferry rioters, were executed at Char
leston on 'ridgy last. They seemed perfectly
resigned to their fate, There were no religious

Ratiftoation Meeting in PhiladelplOa.
The People's Party‘of Philadelphia hold a
largo and enthusiastic meeting at Concert Hall,
on Saturday evening last, to ratify the nomi
nation of Col. Curtin as a candidate for Gov
erner. The Hall was densely crowded, and the
hundreds unable to gain admittance were enter
tained outside by addresses from P. S. White,
Esq., J. R. Flanigan', Esq., and Col, Curtin,—
The audience in the Hall were addressed by
Hon. Thomas Corwin of Ohio, Hon. James
Campbell of Pennsylvania, Hon. Robert Palm
er, Hon. David Taggart, Col, Curtin; and Wm.
B. Mann, Esq. The proceedings of the meeting
indicate, that the people of Philadelphia are
alive to the importance of the contest and are
determiped to do their share next fall. We
copy the following. manly remarks from the
speech of Col. Curtin: • •
Fellow-citizens, said the speaker, in this
great contest you have placed the standard in
my hand: The Democratic organization have
placed their standard in the hands of a man of
distinguished ability, of eminent purity of char
acter, and of a fair personal record, and so far
as I am concerned, neither I, nor any man who
respects me, will say aught of his reputation.
Let others descend to the gutters of ' polities if
they will. General Foster at my hands shall
never be defamed. I will give him an open,
manly, and Pennsylvania fight, and when the
battle is over, andthe result is announced from
the ballot-box, we will teach the Democratic par
ty that at least the contest has been conducted on
our side as becomes a gentleman, a Pennsylva
nian and if I strike not the key note too high,
I will say, the sum - of all that makes that char
actor, a Pennsylvania gentleman. [Applause.]
The contest is soon to begin in the city of
Philadelphia. You will soon becalled upon to
have a municipal contest, and that election be
comes national, and the eyes of the nation will .
be turned towards you.
When I remember the constant fidelity of
the city of Philadelphia to Henry Clay, I ap
plause,] in his life, I invoke his spirit to pre
side in the contest now impending, for the
weal or woo of 30,000,000 of people may -de
pend on the result. Labor has everything to
gain in this contest. It is protection to the
laborer's interests. You have no commerce
like Now York ; you are far from the ocean ,
nu don't make your city great and vast by
any such appliances. Look to the interior to
gather your wealth, to pour into your city.—
If you desire to be great and vast, protect the
manufactures of Philadelphia and the State.
Prove that Philadelphia is true to her trust,
and strike for the liberty of labor, for you are
only'a great and growing and prosperous city
as your labor is protected. In your municipal
contest I pray you—and I cannot speak it
with any authority, for I have a personal in
terest in the contest, as well as the triumph of
principles—l pray you to bury your dissen
sions, and prepare yourself for a glorious vic
tory. My friends from the country who are
here to-night, say, "Carry Philadelphia, and
the work is done." Let there be no heart
burnings and difficulties. Select a man, put
in his hand the standard, and then like true
Philadelphians, declare to tho nation that you
are true to your interests.
I have, fellowzcitizons, to acknowledge the
confidence of this nomination, and when
. you
look, at this vast multitude of people, anxious
for the result, I am encouraged, and hope that
in the end the standard will' he elevated and
the victory ours. [Applause.] What more
can I do to acknowledge your 'confidence and
your support?
Mr. Curtin then referred to the fact that lie
was in 'Washington when he received inform:-
6cm that the ratification meeting was to be
hold and, looking around for some gentleman
of experience bettor able to address the citi
zens of Philadelphia, ho hit upon the "Wagon
Boy." That gentleman, the Hon.- Thomas
Corwin—[Applanse]--consented to come: and
now, said the speaker, you shall hear him.—
Before election comes you will hear me often,
loud and long. I will be hero ; and around me,
from the mountains of Pennsylvania, will
come a chosen band, and we will contest the
ground inch by inch in this State. We will
not hold a single meeting in independence
Square, but in each of the twenty-four wards
of the city, and I will be there. [Applause.]
We are for the war ; and as the battle waxes
warmer and warmer, we will fight harder and
harder ; [applause d and if I fail, General
Foster will acknowledge that. he had the tough
est and hardest fight he ever had in his
[Loud cheers.]

(Rep.) of Vermont attempted to introduce his

REPUBLICAAI VICTORY.
THE FIRST CUN
The Republican Nominee elected Gover
nor by 5,000 majority.
On Tuesday last nn election was held in New
Hampshire for Governor. The result has been
a complete Republican triumph. Ichabod
Goodwin has been re-elected Governor by a
majority exceeding five thousand. The Re
publicans have elected 171 members of the
Legislature, the Democrats 80. The opposi
tion majority in the State in the spring elec
tion preceding the Presidential election of
1856 was 2448. New Hampshire was for many
years a reliable Democratic State, and her
faith in the policy of the • Democratic party
seemed as firm and abiding as her granite
hills, until the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise in 1854 sunk her faith in the party.
Since then the Republican majority has not
been such, that the Democracy gave up all
hopes of regaining the Mate. Their efforts at
the late election are said to have been extra
ordinary, and yet the result has been a victory,
which could scarcely have been expected.
Still Another Republican Triumph.
NEBRASKA. —The election in Nebraska Ter
ritory for delegates to the Constitutional Con
vention has resulted in an overwhelming
triumph for the Republicans. The Omaha
City Republican of the 7th inst. says
We have partial returns from several coun
ties, which indicate beyond doubt that the
Territory has gone Republican by et least
1,000 majority.. We shall not be disappointed
if .it reaches 1,500.
The Convention consists of fifty-two mem
bers, of which we think it safe to say we have
elected 32, as follows
Douglas,
Washington,
Dodge,
Cass,
Total,
This is the response of the people of Ne
braska to Gov. Black's veto message. If that
" public functionary" is satisfied with the re
sult, we are. Nebraska has repudiated the
slave Democracy by a triumphant majority,
and she will more than double it at the elec
tion in the Pall. Who will say the people of
Nebraska are not fit to regulate their domestic
institutions in their own way ?
We have not received sufficient returns to
indicate how the vote on the question of State,
Government stands, But from what we un
derstand to be the feeling south of the Platte
River, we presume it has carried.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND GOVERNOR
PAdEER.—The late Democratic State Conven
tion endorsed in the strongest language the
Administration of President Buchanan. • From
considerations of policy in guarded language
the State Administration of Gov. Packer avas
also endorsed. The year preceeding the State
Convention refused to endorse Governor Pack
er, his enemies alleging the Governor's corrup
tion in the sale of a branch of the Public
Works to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Com
pany. Notwithstanding the apparent change of
tactics, the deep-seated hatred borne Governor
Packer on account of his haying differed with
,the Federal Administration on the Lecompton
question will occasionally burst forth in acts
of hostility. Thomas Burrows was lately ap
pointed by Governor Packer Superintendont
of Public . Schools and the appointment requir
ed confirmation by the Senate. Mr. Burrows'
qualificaiions for the post all must acknowl
edge. He happened, however, to be an Anti-
Lecompton Democrat, and although political
considerations should be disregarded in an ap
pointment of this character, every Democratic
member of the. Senate present voted against
the confirmation. The Republican members
however, having a majority, effectually silenc
ed their malignity by confirming the Gover
nor's appointment.
PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE
MARCH 13th.—In the House a supplement
to the charter of the Allentown Railroad Com
pany passed finally. A suppplement to the
charter of the East Pennsylvania Railroad
Company passed second reading.
MARCH 14t1i.—In the House a bill estab
lishing a system of free banking in Pennsyl
vania, and to protect note-holders from loss
passed second reading.
Meech 15th.--,—ln the House the supplement
to the bill incorporating the Allentown Rail
road Company passed finally. The bill, au
thorizing a system of free banking, passed by a
vote of 51 to 36.
MAricn 17th.—In the House it was resolved
that the supplement to the charter of the Le
high and Delaware Water Gap Rail-road Com
pany be made the special order of business on
Thursday next.
REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH IN TILE BOROUGII.-
By the returns to be found in another column
it will be seen that Republicanism in the Bo
rough of Allentown is on the advance. This
can be readily seen by an analysis of the en
tire vote. And the gain was effected, although
there was a Democratic majority of fifteen or
twenty in the new Territory, lately added to
the Berough. Such is the fact, although the
Democratic Journals of our town have stated,
that the newly acquired territory was added
for political purposes. Put down Allentown
next fall as goodfor a Republican gain of at
least one hundred on last fall's vote. If our
friends in all parts of the county will favor us
,with a like gain, Lehigh county next fall will
give a majority for the whole Republican tick
et. It must do so in a very short time, why
can it not be done next fall?
CIIICAGO CONVENTIONS.—Rooms have been
Secured at the Richmond House, Chicago; for
the Pennsylvania delegation, who will he corn
fortably quarterd therein. The Richmond
House is a first-class hotel, and the proprietors,
contrary to the greedy example set at Charles..

the ordinary rates.

has been the pastor of some six or eight
Lutheran ChUrches in Berks.and Lehigh cos.,
for nearly 30 years past ' Will shortly tender
his rdsignittion, having becme disabled for ac
tive ministerial duties by an affection of the
throat. The Rev. B. M. Kramlich, of Fogels
yille, is spoken of as his successor..
DEATH OF A POST MISTRESS--Mrs,
Eliza Cooper, Post Mistress at Mauch Chunk,
died on Saturday night a week. She was ap
pointed under President Filmore's administra
tion and has held the office ever since. She

Northampton, who has lived in great apparent
destitution for many years mainly supported
by charity, died recently ; and in her trunk
was found a long stocking full of five and ten
dollar gold pieces, and a roll of bills of the
first issue'llof the Northampton Bank. It was
also found that she had sums of money at in
terest in the different batiks.
DEATH OF THE FOUNDLING.—The
male infant found a month or two since, upon
the steps of one of the citizens of Easton one
night, and which'has since been taken care of
by a family in that town, died last Tuesday

the time it was picked up, and within the past
few days suffered a great deal, we are told.—
It was about six months old.

in drill won golden opinions from our citizens.
Seldom in any place has a new military com
pany in so shirt a period, become so well
drilled. Too great praise cannot be awarded 4
Captain Yeager for the zeal and energy ho has
displayed in getting together members, procur
ing a uniform and drilling his company. The
exercises of the day closed with a Grand Ball
at the Odd Follows' Hall, which was well at
tended, and in which the Company realized
quite a benefit.

JURY ON THE EASTON STEAMBOAT
DISASTER.—The Jury of inquest after thor
oughly investigating the subject of the causes
of the late steamboat disaster at Easton, have
returned a verdict, that in " their opinion the
said explosion was caused by the undue heat
ing of the boiler, owing to a deficient supply
of water therein; and further, that said boiler
(without reference to other defects, which in
their view of the cause of, the explosion, need
not be considered,) was ignorantly •and im
properly constructed in this, that the gutigue
cocks were aced too low; the lower one -he
ing below the crown sheet, and the second
lower than the first should have been•; that
the said boiler wall constructed at South Eas

" LOOK OUT FOR COLDS." is the sensible
advice give by a cotemporary. This change
able-weather is just the time to catch colds and
fevers. Don't let the warmth of the sun se
duce you into throwing off your coat, or leav
ing your windows open, or letting the -tire go
out. Ugly colds are thereby contracted.-
Now is, ust the time, also, for the scarlet fever
to seize, with its terrible grasp, the forms of
the little ones. Don't let the children become
exposed to the weather without being as warm
ly dressed as on colds days, for these snuffles
and colds are 'generally the precursors of the

in the " ftenigTEß,"
ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLH—To-day,
Monday March 12th, MO, and conveyed to the
tomb, the mortal remains of one of the oldest
residents of Upper' Simon township, Lehigh
County. As I write, the funeral procession
passes, and all that is mortal of one, who lived
when our Country tuns still under - the British
Crown, will soon find the last "resting place"
—peace to the ashes of Mrs. Elizabeth Van
horn I Mrs. Vanhorn died on Friday last
at the residence of her son, Abraham Van
horn, who resides one third of a mild south of
Coopersburg, Upper Saucon. She retained
her faculties to a remarkable degree of perffe
tion, and possessed of reason to the last hour.
The sacred volume, in which is the record of
her birth, being iii the hands of absent and far
distant relatives, it cannot be stated positively
whether the deceased was 98 or a'loo years of
age—her birth-day' Was March 20th.
In reflecting upon her great age, and that
of a number in this section of country, the in
quiry is 'suggested, why are there no few, who
attain to so advanced an age, and why, so very
few who retain their faculhes so web. Doubt
less there is much in the natural vigor and
stamina of the constitution, but that is not
sufficient of itself to carry humanity so far be
yond its allotted period of " three score years
and ten," and the chief causes are probably to
be found in the where and how we live. In
deed, it is not more to be wondered at, that
the few live so long, than that the many die so
early. When it is remembered where and how
many live, it ceases to be a mystery, since one
large proportion of the people live in un
healthy climates, or at least pi climates and
localities not conducive to longevity, and an
other, in over grown cities, penned up in 10
by 12 houses,
with had ventilation and denied
through the force of circumstances the diet
necessary to health. Again, and how do peo
ple live in this enlightened age. It it however
not intended here to discuss this subject in all
its anftcts, but hoW can people expect to live
long who live as it is fashionable now-a-days
to live. Let him or her., who goes to bed at
l 0 or midnight, nud then rises either early or
late ; who mdulgen in a regular morning dram
of good or bad liquor or in morning drink's
of Lager or other malt liquors, let them not
expect to live to be 100 years of age, nor they
who are guilty of any of these or other bad
habits, cannot expect long life, nor ran many
of a population living in unelevated districts
anticipate very long life, and relatively unim
paired fueulties.
It has reCently been stated that there are
more very aged persons living in the township
if Upper Simeon, than in eitber of the other
townships of Lehigh county. Lehigh is gen
erally a healthy section of country„hai a fine
agricultural and well wooded area, excellent
water, and is somewhat hilly and Mountain
ous. These are all features favorable to health
and longevity, but has not the township of Up
per Saucon two or more advantages• favoring
life, which the other townships have not. UP
per Saucon •is an elevated section, and the wa
ters of its streams flow front it east, west, north,
itrol south., Coopersburg and the country west
of it lies high; Locust Valley and much of the
area of Upper Saucon still higher; 600 feet"
higher than Philadelphia, about 300 to 350
feet higher than Easton, Bethlehem or Allen
town, nearly the same above Reading, and
quite as high as Mount, Carbon, Schuylkill Co.
'Hie waters of the Saucon Creek flow North
ward and Eastward into the Lehigh, thence to
the Delaware. and within a few rods of where
the waters of one branch of Saucon Creek rise,
the waters flow into the Pe•kienen and West.
ward to the Schuylkill. Hence &Minn, al
though abounding in springs, is elevated, has
limpid streams, and famous health and long
:ivity, and these facts may be sufficient to ex
plain why her population numbers more aged
persons, than other districts surrounding.
A LLExTow N SEMI NARY—E X AMIN A
noxs, &r.—On the Bth and 9th i . ast., exami
nations of the various classes connected with
this I nkitne took phtoo. The subjects in
which exhninations were conducted, were of
the usual kind in such Institutions, compris-
Mg Latin, Greek, Grammar, English, Mathe
matics, in almost all its various branches, Ge
ography, History, Rhetoric, Music, &c. Re
iides these things interesting original essays
were read and declamations delivered. The
hest of order prevailed among the scholars
luring the examinations, which evidenced the
existenee of proper discipline and its eonse-
Tient good habits anti good conduct. The va
rious clasSes acquitted themselxes. almost
‘vithout exception, in it very commendable
manner. The visitors, present during the ex
aminatbms, were highly pleased, and came
away fully impressed with the thoroughness
and fullness of the instructions imparted in
this excellent Institution. The young ladies in
the female department showed a thorough ac
quaintance with all the branches on which
they were examined. a feet that speaks well,
not only for their talents and capacities, but
also for their teachers.
Phr examinations of which we spe a k, m as t
have proved infinitely more satisfactory to all
concerned—to parents and guardians especi
ally—than any so veiled puldie ethihition
could possibly tarn done. The result reaehed
in this way wits nor, that would natually flow
from the course of instruction -pursued in the
various branch's, whilst an exhibition is the
result of an entirely different kind of labor,
and may, in minty eases, have no co t o t eetion
whatever with the course of instruction. An
exhibition may prove,exeiting for the students
and entertaining to the audience, hut at the
same time, it fosters many unfavorable ten
dencies in students, and in the minds of many
others the shallow notion, that the results of a
course of instretion are to be looked for and
found in a boisterous and exciting 'theatrical
exhibition, upon
. which a very improper por
tion of time has been wasted, in the way of
preparation. A thorough examination, on the
other hand, cannot well deceive, nor lead to bad
results. It involves a stimulus for the stu
dent to strive after the highest and most solid
Attainments, and proves a source of solid sat
isfaction to interested friends.
Although the Institution of which we speak;
counts it larger number of
. scholars in atten
dance now, than for some years past, its adVan
tages are still perhaps not as fully apprecia
ted as should he the case. Its past histo
ry, and present position and advantages, enti
tle it to special attention. Founded in 184 R,
by .the lamented Kessler, it has furnished al
ready about 1200 students with a more or lest
complete education. Of these some 20 to 25
have entered college at various times : 5 have
entered the medical profession and 9 are
adorning the christian ministry, whilst ten are
in course of preparation now for college, of
whom 4 or 5 have the christian ministry in
view. Had the German churches, especially
in this section of the State, turned their atten
tion more fully to this Institution, it could
have accomplished still more for them, and
could have been of inealenhulle adViintage to
them. We hope that attention and a sense of
true interest may still be more fully aroused in
this direction.
Of the very efficient Board of
.instuctors I
need scarcely speak. It is perhaps sufficient
to remind the public, that the Principal, the
Rev. W. R. Hofford, was one of the favorite
students of the lamented Kessler, and that his
