The orchitect of the Universe, and ori ginntor of tho laws of nature for the rcgu lation of tho material things of earth, had no prototjpo for his guidanoe, no example to imitate, no cluf-iVvaivre to exemplify perfection. And yet, tho world with all iw mysteries, its millions upon millions of component parts, its arcana of co-ordinate complication, its wondrous workings, its mighty marhiacry, and its more than ten thousand dclicato conformations and intri cate alliances of antagonistic elements, still revolves on its axis, without varying from its sphere, and preserves the equilibrium of each proportion, and every part of its inexplicable organism. The great first utcs were right, and tliry are maintained intact. And as tho origin and object of the Universe so sublimely accord with tho laws of God so witii tho science of Go vernment, in its obedience to tho wisdom of man. When nature acts upon mturc, in conformity to tho cardinal canons of tho codo of the Creator, there is no conflict of prerogatives and provinces, no discord or disturbance of harmony; when man obeys the behests of man, as they are ex pressed and embodied in organio laws for tho maintenance of society, there is no disorder, no violence, no turmoil or trouble to tho body politic. Whether the system of government be right or wrong, an auto cmcy or republic, so long as its laws are enforced and observed, there is comparative poica and quiet among tho people, and security to the State. If the "government is founded in fallacy, in hereditary right, ip individual usurpation, injustico or inc quality, it is safe, as long as the subjects believe and cbey. But it is contradictory to truth, and must ultimately bo over thrawn, as inadequate to the inherent as. pirations and innate impulses of the humanl heart. Tho laws of nature maybe misap prehended. But the result of the experi ment will attest the truth. And so with tho laws of man, if founded upon a false basis, they will sooner or later prove tbeir own wrong. Tho government of the United States emanated from tho purest precepts of human virtue, tho strongest reflections of human wisdom. The. regulations of the Universe flowed from tho fountain bead of truth, purity and omniscience. And as tho latter aro immaculato, unalterable, and inseparable from tho economy of nature ordinances of tho Deity for tho prosecution and per. fection of the plans of Providenco in all things pertaining to the matter; so are tho former an approximation to them as near as the the crcaturo can approach his Creator for the guidance of thomind of man. . As the one is the result of the greatness and goodness of God, so is the other in origin and in object, attributable. to the honesty and wisdom of m.n, AVc need no analysis of the science of government, no delicate and difficult com parison between tho claims of ono set of men and another, tn establish the theory that oyr government is tho elect of all based upon tho proper principles of social organization. advancing tho interests, and developing the capacity of man collectively, without infringing upon his inalionible rights individually. Under absolute Go vernment, men are mere mechanical im plements in the hands of tho despot. In r ilder monarchies, tho subjects rise higher j tho scale of humanity, excising intol ' -t in some degree towards tho conduct, - well aa physical and numerical strength f it tho support and preservation of tho 3ountry. But in Republics Mono, aro all ths elements of manhood allowed free 'zeroise, and incitod into full action. The variety of character forming tho . turcs of human nature, and tho opposing uions and conflicting claims of oven a individuals, would scorn to arguo the ' racticability of controlling millions by same system of laws. But wherever m is cultivated, and tho understanding loped, there is a pervading principlo . triotism and an innate acknowledgment ' j lit, that aro paramount to tho passions ?'. h make men little less than brutes, in fvage state. i-ur own country exhibits a completeness oi i ovcrnmental mechanism as admirablo i i instruction as it is unparalleled in tho - formancc of its functions, With thirty ono sepwato sovereign Stales eonfedcralcd under the provisions of a Constitution co vering the interests of all impartially; with a Congress snd President representing tho righUofthcmall, of tho nation, it would seem at first view that tho United States constitute a vast consolidated republic, with only (fongraphl-1 cal distinctions of territory. But when it is remembered that each Stato is sovereign within it-clf, with a conipleto government s it... ....... ....;..'.. -f ...... of i s own, tho complex simplicity of our system is scon. With elements of ruinous revolution wo have controlling counterpoises; with re publicanism ready to run rampant and riot, wo havo conservative safe-guards and restraints; with steam to drivo the. ship on, wo havcsafcly valves and regulators. And thus it is that whirlwinds of popular pas sion and excitement, that sometimes agitate the nation from one extremity to the other, and whioh, in any other country, would t'ar tho government from its base, pass away harmlessly here, SALE OP THE MAIN LINE A Stupendous 1-Yaud upon the People of Pennsylvania. Tho Legislature of our Stato havo finally passed tho Bill for the sale of tho Main Line of our Publio Improvements. It passed the Scnato on last .Monday, tho amendments wcro concurred in by the (louses, and it is now in tho hands of Gov. Pollock for his signature. This comprises tho Canals aud Rail Roads, with slight exception, between Philadelphia and Pitts burg. Tho price named in tho Bill, at which it is to be sold, is S7 ,000,000, for a work which cost near 840,000,000 un- ess puichased by tho Pennsylvania Hail road Company, then they are to pay $0, 000,000, being an inorcaso of 81,500,000 over private enterprise. But this last pre fix is all for " buncomb," as that Company had tho bill framed to their own wishes, wis bored through tho I.ogislaturo by their hired agents, and thoy will bo tho pur chaser. This powerful moneyed monopoly, will make " a nice thing" out of the Main Lino Bill. In tho first place, tho Rail Road Company, nominally, givo ono and a half millions moro for tho Publio Works, in paper bonds than any other purchaser, but in lieu of this, thoy aro forever exonerated from taxation and havo nothing to pay on tho purchase until 1800, a credit of thirty three years, when tho present generation will have passed away and tho powerful wealth of this Company, through their successors in oflicc,can relinquish the work, or have an Act passed to cvado payment. Another feature in the bill, equally obnox ious, is tho provision appropriating Three Millions op Dollars for the Sunbury and Erie Rail Road, engineered through both branches, by tho most dishonest and unscrupulous hord of peculators known to tho Commonwealth. We regard tho passage of this bill, under existing circumstances, as tho most stupen dous fraud that has ever been perpetrated upon tho people of Pennsylvania. The Act of 1832-33, incorporating tho Bank of tho United States, with a capital of 835,000,000, and for a period of thirty years, was impotont of harm compared to tho dangerous powers conferred by this bill upon that great soulless chartered monopoly, the Pennsylvania Rail R ad Company. Wo shudder for the fato of our country and the liberties of our peo ple, when bribery and corruption exert an unlimited influence over tho Halls of Leg- islation. Mr. Ent, our Representative, and Mr. Steele, our Senator, wo take pleasure in saying, opposed the nefarious swindle throughout. Wm. Elwoll, Esq.; Hon. Wm. Elwell, of Towinda, is favorably named for tho Supreme Judge ship of Pennsylvania, We havo known Mr. Elwell, intimately, for maDy years, and it allbrds us pleasure to say that ho is one of the most estimable gcntlcm in, ablest Lawyers and soundest Domocrats, within tho limits of our acquaintance. Col. Freeze, xf the Bradford Times, speaks of his high qualifications and legal abilities in terms of strong commendation, every word of which wo most cordially endorse. Let him be nominated. Deaths of Editors. D. McKinley Mason, tho predecessor of Col. J. Q. PnEEZE, as Editor of tho firadford Times, died at Carlis'c, on tho Oth of April, in tho 20th year of his ago. Coleman J. Bull, Esq., recently Editor of tho Columlii Sjiy, died suddenly in that place, on tho 'SOth of April, in the 35th year of his ago. Doctor FroaB. Peira II.

"Mr. Buchanan, Is most likely to add 0110 more naino to tho list of tho National Hotel victims that in a fow moro wcoks fiend Stephen A. Ilouglas tho actual lro 1 sidcnt of tlioso United States.'' Tho above, wo find floating in sovcral J 0f tho Mack Republican papers of thn 'stato. A moro cold-blooded and brutal paragraph Dover found its way into a news m. , 11 . . . paper. Tlioso wuo count pcrpoiraio bo cross an outrage, exhibit hearts black enough to commit any crime in the calen dar of vice. That sonio agency of Black Republicanism designed to poison tho I'rcs ident elect, scorns to bo now generally be lieved -and such paragraphs arc well cal culated to confirm tho impression, Mr. BucnANAN, wo aro grat fled to bo ablo to state, is in excellent health, anil walks as firm and erect as ho did twenty years age. That a merciful Providence will vouchsafe to him health and strength to perform tho duties of tho exalted trust whicd has boon conferred upon htm by tho freemen of Amorica, is tho sincere prayer of every truly Christian heart in iho land. Tho Burdoll Murder Oaso. Mrs. Cunningham has been acquitted, aud Ecklo discharged on his own recogni zance. If these parties aro innocent, thoy have suffered a serious injury. If guilty, thoy return to the world, but never lo know a happy instant. Tho bloody corpse of Burdcll will follow them wherever thoy -r. ... . , 1 , 1... go. It will naunt mom Dy nay anu uy night, in Summer and in Winter, in Spring time and in harvest ; it will poison evory thought during life, and when the hour of death comes, it will darken that hour with an impenetrable gloom, until it harrasscs tho soul with indiseribablo torture. Wo hopo both aro innocent; but wc cannot think so, despite the verdict of the jury unexplained, when so many circumstances weigh against them. It was a mistake in tho prosecution, not to present tho evidence of Farrcll and others who wero examined boforo tho Coroner, especially after tho remarkably denuncitary opening in which it indulged. Perhaps, though wo miy be wrong ; and perhaps, good and sufficient obstacles interpose It becomes Mrs, Cun ningham, if innocent, to mako it appear so to tho public. She should neither slumber nor sleep, untill Dr. Burden's assassion is ferrctted out. Sho owes such a course to her protestations of innocence, to the support which a jury has given her in tho premises, and to tho fact that tho murdered man she alleges to havo been her husband. Let a suitablo reward bo offered. Sho can we'l spare a portion of tho fortune, she will got as tho widow of Dr. Burdcll, to have his murderers brought to punishment, and her own innocence past doubt established. Court Proceedings Concluded. Wo went to Press last week, before we were in possession of all the proceedings ; Isaiah Shumin vs. tho other heirs o Jacob Shuman, dceeaicd. This suit was or.ee before tried in this court, and reversed in the Supreme Court in some poiut which is not very material to tho issue. Tho question involves is whether a deed was delivered by Jacob Shuman shortly before his death to Isaiah Shuman with the in tention to vest tho titlo of tho property described in it, or for scmo other temporary purpose as a loan. In tho latter case tho plainliflf would not reooive the same property embraced in this deed by tho will of his father Jacob Shuman, but as a share of bis legacy, and not as a gift. Verdict for tho defendants, Tho caso will again go to tho Suprumc Court.

Packer, tho Dcmocratio candidato for Governor, is a straight forward, con sistent democrat, and thorough Stato rights man, whilo AVilmot, his competitor, is an Abolition agitator, of tho Iloraco Qrecly school, and in favor of conferring all tho rights of citizonship upon niggers. Gen. Packer and tho domocracy aro in favor of standing by tho Constitution as it is. Wilmot goes for a change ; and his ad vocates join in tho irreverent clamor of Burlingamo, and other ultra Abolitionists for "an anti-slavery Constitution an anti. slavery Bible, and an anti-slavery God."

Never havo wo hoard a caso based upon oircumstantial evidence handled with moro legal ability than was displayed by Mr. Stokes in this,case. Ono by ono ho demoli shed tho proofs sot up by tho defence, until tho defonco itself scorned like the "baseless fabrio of vision." Ho brought his remarks to close at -i o'clock, having spoken just four hours, during which time ho was listened to with intenso interest by as many people as cou'd conveniently bo crowded into the Court House, many of whom were ladies. At tho closo of Mr. Stokes' address, tho Judgo immediately began to deliver his charge to tho iury. It was a long and elaborate review of the les'imony in tho case, and the strong points that told against ho prison' r wore especially tclliog, coming from tho Court It was nearly six o clock wheu ho concluded, aud it was impossible to resist tho conclusion that the result of tho trial will bo a conviction. Tho jury retired to dcliberato upon their verdict as soon as tho ch rgo was conclu ded. After an absence of an hour and a quar ter, tho Jury returned to tho Court R om, which was very much crowded. Tho fore man delivered their verdiotas follows : " Wo find tho defendant David Stringer MoKim.guilty of Murder in tho frst Degree, 1 in manner anu torm as inuictcd." Mr. Hofins, ono of the counsel for tho defence, immediately gave notice of an arrest of judgment : but there can be littlo doubt that it will bo overruled.
