Thero is a man in the Legislature from Tioga county, named Williston, who makes great pretentions to ability, legal knowl edge &c. ; and loses no opportunity to abuse the Judges of tho Supremo Court fof deciding to bo law, what in his wisdom Is uot law. To illustrate. A few days ago Mr. Williston was, as usual, making speech. A bill was up to erect tho ""Point Bridge,'' at Pittsburg j in this ppeceh he asserts his contempt for tho opinion of tho Court in tho celebrated Wheeling Bridge case. It is evident Mr. Williston never read that case, and he displays his ignoranco and malico by tho following remark : " Now, it is something I never knew before that tho chimneys of steam boats were so constructed as to admit of lowering and rising at the hands of those having chargo ot tho boat. ' Now wo aro well satisfied that Mr. "Will iifton not only never read the Wheeling Bridge case, but that he never even saw a .steam boat ; for it is not possible he could havo been so ignorant, if either of those accidents had happened to him. And to e, , gravely and contemptuously denying the li'gal conclusions of tho Supremo Court of tho United States, would bo supremely ri diculous, were it not so sad. Bat it is in this way and by such law yetlings, that the decisions of that learned and august body havo been abused, de nounced, misinterpreted. It i3 by men who havo not even read, much less digested and comprehended tho facti and reasons who takos thoHead in this raid. To them bo the honor and the credit. REMINISCENCES OF THE CONVENTION. Tho man who can, with equal temper, bear the extremes of fortune, may in tho end, command his place. It Is not easy to face a defeat, nor in tho first moment to check the bitter risings of a disappointment lie. who does not feel ffiem ii less or more thaw man ; he who ean control them is greatly to be envied. At the late Democratic Convention, after tho nomination of Qcn. Foster, a call was mado for tho gentlemen who had been can dfcTatcsfor tho nomitation. Moat prompt ly responded. They made cxccllent.warm hearted, magnanimom speeches acqui esced cheerfully in tho action of tho Con vention eulogized the character, abilities and qualifications of Gen. Foster, and promised a cordial and earnest support. But no man, in our judgment, on that occasion, acquitted himself witli moro cred it, in all respects, than Geo. Sanderson of Lancaster. lie made a most capital tpeceh, in excellent temper and great good taste. His fricrwls have just cause to bo proud of him, and tho good old county of Lancaster, if truo to him, will yet, at no distant day, be ablo to chronicle his suc cess. SST Gov. Wm. H. Bissell, of Illinois, whose death has been announced, was born near Coopcrttown, New York, April So 1611. Ho studied medicine at the Jcffer eon Medical College, in Philadelphia, whero ho graduated in 1835. After prac tising medicine for several years, ho was elected to tho State Legislature from JIun roo County, in 18 Ml. Ho studied law, was admitted to praetiee, and removed to Belleville, St. Clair County. Thero the Mexican War found him. In 1810 ho was elected Colonel of the Second Regiment of Volunteers, and gave up tho position of State Attorney for tho Second Judicial District togo to Mexico. Ho distinguished himself in, tlio campaign of Buena Vistar, and returning, was chosen to represent the Eight District of Illinois in Congress. He was twice a member of tho IIouso of Rep resentatives, but declined a third term on account of ill-health. In 1850 tho Re- publican State Convention unanimously Jovernor and ws 8am on tho Stump. j On Saturday last the oppotitian held a meeting in Philadelphia, at which Mr. David Taggart who was figuring for a nomination among tho Republicans hero and got their support too ; and Curtin,and Corwin of Mexican war memory, and oth ers, mado speeches. , lowing article from tho Boston Atlas, tho Wo desiro to call attention to the speech acknowledged organ of tho Black Ropub of Taggart as published in tho Bulletin of Means of Massachusetts, cVlitcil by General Monday last, in order to show our citizens .

It is tho head of tho know Nothing organization on tho ticket, and Sam on tho Stump. Tho Bulletin says? Tho first speaker of tho ovening was then introduced and well received. Addresi of Hon. D. Taggart, of Northumberland Mr. President and fellow Citizens : If I had not been called among you as a com petitor of tho distinguished gentleman whoso nomination you havo met to ratify, I should not havo felt it incumbent on mo to be present here to-night. I havo come from llarnsburg at a sacrifice of private busi ness and obeyed your summons. It was I mv rood fortnno thrnn weeks ftp-o. at TTnr- )ti o - o i risburg, to niako ike first Curtin speech of the Campaign, and then ami there I prom ised to go wherever 1 might bo wanted. turn, when 1 tell you that I traveled all last night, and was fifteen hours on foot yesterday, and havo had no rest to-day, you must not expect mo to make a speech of any length to-niglit, but 1 will bo content like tho jackal, to precced tho lordly lion. I go ahead of the distinguished and elo quent gentlemen who are present to-night, to say a lew words to show you that 1 am for Andy Curtin all the time, loud cheers most zealously, most earnestly. And why should I not be ? Ho never entertained a political sentiment that I am not willing to advocate. Ho never held a doctrine that I am not ready to uphold. in law. when 1 was not legally a man, wo went together to old Harrisburg. Four years later we fought, sido by side, for the great American system, under the glorious banner of Henry Clay. Vociferous ap plause. As an American I am proud of tho thrill that that name sends through me and that banner would never havo trail ed in defeat had it not been for tho ill ad vised and deceived hordes that were pre cipitated upon us from across tho ocean. I only allude to that portion of them that do not eat meat on Fridays laughter and applause and havo not been long enough in tho country to know that tho modern Democracy of these United States of Amer ica meant only freedom for trade, and not for men. I suppose sonio of you have heard of tho mistake tho Democrats of In diana made two or threo ycar3 ago, when thoy fixed a barbceuo for a Friday. "What do you mane," says a big Democrat from Ireland, ,lby roasting beef on a day meat ? 8Thorois important news from Mexi eo. Tho Mexican War-Steamer General Miramon, has arrived at New Orleans, as a prize to the United States, under com mand of Lieutenant Micor, who left Vera Cruz on the 13th instant. No particulars as to the seizure havo yet been received. Vera Cruz was besieged by' Miramon on tho 5th. He notified tho representatives of tho foreign Governments that ho should shell and cannonado tho city. On tho night of tho 9th tho attack was made, in full force, but Miraman was repulsed by tho Liberals. Tho sloop-of-war Preble was to sail from New Orleans on tho Mth. 6? Tho Papal Government has pro hibited commerce by transit between Aneona and Romagna. Tho merchants protest against it. Tho agitation continues in the Marches. Tho landed proprietors refuse to pay taxes. Thousands of citizens are signing addresses to tho great Powers in favor of annexation. Soldiers enlisted in Austria continuo to arrive in tho States of tho Church and at Naples. tSy- On the Cth of February, at mid nigt, Capt. John Bire, of Dover, N. H., died at the ago of 87 years. Eight hours laters, on the 7th. his wife, Elizabeth,diod at tho ago 01 years, that day being tho an iversary of her birth. They had lived happily in tho married state for nearly 70 years, and as a fitting conclusion to such a long union in lifo, thoy now sleep in one grave. 1ST Tho planting in Texas is either rap. idly progressing or finished, as far as re gards corn and vegetables.

Our readers aro well aware that in eomc of tho States whero Black Republicanism reigns supremo, negroes etijoy rights and privilege') from which whito naturalized citizens are excluded but thoy will bo moro surprised wheri thoy read tho fol ,n" colorcu " c'uaneipateu, could not iuku earu m iiiuiiit-ciYvs i i c say it i sav is not. and to assert it as tho Times docs, is simply begging the whole question. Is ITTROVED Oil RENDERED rnORAHLE THAT the Africans cannot live in this country on an equality with whites? WE SAY IT IS NOT, and that no man who assorts it has ever yet demonstrated tho truth of his assertion by auy conclusive reasoning. " It is not at all pertinent to instance the condition of the black man as a condition to permit tho testing of tho question. Be cause Wisconsin is mean and narrow MINDED ENOUOII TO REFUSE TO ALLOW A NEOUO, HOWEVER INTELIOE.NT,TO VOTE, it by no means proves that tho negro does not deserve tho privilege, nor, because Wisconsin at tho same time, permits A RAW IRISHMAN AND AN IGNOR ANT DUTCHMAN to vote, when he neither knows his own polities nor that of his candidate, does it prove that Wiscon sin is either just or vise in making this ar bitrary discrimination! Let us bo just and sensible, as well as critical and patri otic, Mr. Doolittlo. Tho only fnir test of the capacity and disposition of the black man to dwell, SIDE BY SIDE, ON TERMS OF EQUALITY WITH THE WHITE, is to take him where ho docs enjoy that equality. Unfortunately thcio is no place whore this is tho case to tho full extent, for prcjudieo docs much, oven in the most favored localities, to oppress tnc colored man. " But supposo we take ttio frc'o colored men of Massachusetts, where' thoy are ro spected and treated as citizens, and what is the result I Why, we venture the as sertion, without fear of successful contra diction, THAT YOU MAY TAKE THE TIVE THOUSAND NEOROES AS THEY COME, AND A THOUSAND IllISHMAEN IN THE SAME WAY, AND YOU WILL FIND THE NEOROES SURPASS THE IRISHMEN OF BOSTON IN INTELLIGENCE, MORALITY AND INDUSTRY, AND OOOD CITIZENSHIP, THEY ARE MORE THRIFTY, MODE ORDERLY, AND EVERY way superior ; it is the tamo in the city of Philadelphia, as facts will abundantly prove. Now what right havo wo to say, with such a preliminary lesson, that the black man could not prove himself worthy of freedom and citizenship !" It will bo observed that this Black Re publican organ speaks of tho State of Wis consin 03 "MEAN AND NARROW MINDED," because sho refuses negroes the right to vote. Reasoning from the same premises, minded, becauso like Wi-cou-in, she denies tho negro the right of suffrage. Will decent whito people, says the Bed ford Gazette, boar this Black Republican insult unrc-sented ! We ask the question WE PUT IT TO THE SELF RESPECTING AND INTELLIGENT MEN WnO HAVE HITH ERTO VOTED THE BLACK REPUBLICAN ticket can any whito man who he LIEVES HIMSELF uetter than a neoho, oast his vote, in future, with a party that maintains that a negro is as good as he '! Aro party ties so strong that they will bind him even to a greasy Ethiopian ! Let the ballot box repty. On tho appearance of tho articlo above quoted, tho Cincinnati Enquirer, a Demo cratio papcrtook occasion to mako somo strictures upon tho positions taken therein, whereupon tho Black Republican Atlas replied : j "Ifvouwill como hero wc will show , iyou any day, our coloied Jtttow citizen riding in tlie curs on tie same seal wim the aristocrat of Beacon streit and Chelter Square, and neither tho negro or tho whito man appears in tho least disturbed or harmed by tha proximity. And as for political franchises, wc will just inform our friend that, in Aaisaciusetls, a black man's vote is just us good and counts just as much as Mr. Winllirop's or Everett's, and that there arc now no political disa bilities imposed upon any man on account of tho color of his skin." Such aro the practical results of Black Republicanism, boasted of and heralded forth by an accredited loading Black Re publican organ. And these results are at tributed to the fad that the Black llcpub lican party ivanis negro votes for its candi dates, as tliey Hcount as much as Mr. Winlhrop'sor Edward Everett's." The truo aim of Black Republicanism is tho public plunder, aud henco its efforts to givo the black man tho right to voto. , ' puneral of Hon. LewisC. Lovin. j The funeral of Lewis C.

During tho day mfl"y of the friends of tho deceased called top therof was a squaro silver plate, cm ft" Mrs. Elizabeth Crockett, widow of Oavy Crockett, member of Congress from Tenncsseo, and tho Hero of tho Alamo, died, on tho 2d instant, of apoploxy, in the 75th year of her ago.

Tho opposition editors seem to be some- what "exercised" in their minds just now touching the future policy of the Democrat- ic party. Thoy affect to see n great diff- orenco of omhiou n tho Domocratio ranks i . ..i(fr, ml ..in ft...,.! i 11 .i:rrL., in t . more formidable .difference ,n egard to men. 'llicso dillercnccs, thoy ten us, aro , every hour growing wider j anu tuoy aro puzzled to know in what sort of a "disrup tion" they will end. In our lifetimes wo havo moro than onco found this opposition party in its present dilemma. It has been very sure that tho Democratic party was in a very sad con dition ; that it was hopelessly divided ; that it couldn't agrco in regard to measures, and didn't want to agree in regard to men ; that it was completely disorganized, and irretrievably ruined. But there was al ways this failure to preceivo in precisely .... . i. . " what direction tho biggest pieces oi wo,""-i"-y - nartv aro coin to tumble. " . . Now wo liko to render our enemies a service when wo can, and Wo think wo can render them ono just at this moment. Wo can best do so by narrowing down tho points of differcncQ. which thoy see or think thoy sec in tho Domocratio ranks. Them selves always divided on all or nearly all matters upon which they should agrco, they are apt to imagine that ouv differences aro equally numerous and important ; that if wo disagree on a iinglo point, wo have left no stronger bond of fellowship, and must tumble apart at the first assault of the enemy. This wc might very easily demonstrate, is a sad mistake a mistake which has frequently led to sad consequences no less sad than the blasting, in a single hour, of tho highest of the opposition hopes. It is no uncommon thing for tho Democratic parly, prior to holding its national con vention, to differ in regard to men; but these differences aro always disposed of, and satisfactorily disposed of, at tho prop er time, by their representatives. They sometimes differ in regard to measures! but a free interchange of opinion always works a euro for this evil, if indeed it can bo called one. Tho secret of this is, that there is a bond of union botween all the members of the Democratic organization. They may sometimes differ in regard to one or two matters, but they aro always united, we might say indissolubly united, in regard to many others. They stand firmly togethiir,in storm as well as in sun. shino, on the great principles which un derlie all Democratic republics ; they know what Democracy means, and love it for its intrinsic worth ; they are united in a com mon bond of patriotism so that when their i. .-, lm.ti.ura, run a i.ir i , tueir hearts run together. Thoy have not been drilled to hato each other, or to reeognizo scitional linos. If the leaders should de cree sepuratiou to-day, tho masses would come together to-morrow, and in threo days tho lino of separation would bo trod den out. Would it not be well for our en emies, in casting about for signs of tho fu ture, to take this into consideration! A few things the opposite editors may as well, wo think, take for granted. In tho fiit place, wo shall not chango our name. Small or large, or party will bo known as tho Democratic party. It will wear this namo in Rhode Island, and it will reeognizo no other in Texas. It is charged with all sorts of corruption and mismanagement by its enemies, but it has j never yet found it necessary to change its namo, or attempt to hide itself from public gaze. Certainly it will not steal any of tho names of its opponents. It will not claim to bo a Federel party, or a Nation al Republican party, or an Anti-War par ty, or a Whig party, or a Bank party, or a Tariff party, or an Internal Improve ment party, or a Frccsoil party, or a Lib-! jsiacK iieputjucan party, it win aear clear of all tho names which havo been 11 (.111 HJ Kl.tlb 13 null D,J IV.. lilu vlJ- I I, n.hnl .a n .it cli.lml ll,l HrtM.rt ' uri' sition." It will hoist the old Democratic i banner, and will respond to tho Demo cratic roll-call. Another thing : it will preserve in its platform all its ancient landmarks. It will not deny its faith. It will not resolve that it has mado a mistake in asserting this or that principle, or adopting this or that policy. It never travels backward will not try to steal Republican or Ameri- can thunder by endorsing tho old mea- surc3 of cither of thoso parties. If tho leadcrs of theso organizations think thoy i L ii i 1 1 :., i.: have got something very valuable in t ie r platforms, they may rest assured that it is in uodangcr of molestation. They needn't cmploy a watch dog to keep guard over it. Tho Democratic tub will stand upon its own bottom. In regard to our norainco for President, it is safo to say that ho will be a man of the party, aud not outside of it, and that .. . i . from tho moment ,1m namo.s announced at Charleston, all differences in regard to men will havo nn cud. Tho nomiueo will stand , ,f ,.i ,ii . - upon tho platform, mid there all democratic oontrovorsy in regard to him will cease. We cxnect to be ablo to sav of .him, that his antecedents are Domocratio; that ho antecedents are Dcmocratio; that ho has supported Democratic moasuros and Democratic men ; that ho subscribes to tho groat principles which havo governed tho Domocratio Presidents, from Jefferson to Buchanan: that ho is in no danger of fall- ihrr.in lbvo with anv of the isms of tho raany.colorcd opposition. Ho will claim ns a Democrat, he wilf bo supported in "cry Stale tho Union. He will not bo a sectional man, or tho nominee of a sec 1 ona Pa?1?'

As for tho Democratic quarrel about tho platform, which is alrea- . ' dy a source of moro anxiety to thorn than to us, our advico is that they accustom themselves to retiring at night under tho impression that it may wholly disappear before morning j for wo assure them that tho decision which is most fixed and eter nal in tiro Democratic party is, that tho party will not quarrel with each other af ter tho time has arrived for devoting all its energy and power to tha common ene my. I'rovLlcnce Pvst. Tho Legislatlvo Record. The State Legislature havo much trou ble with the printer of their Legislative Uccord, for which they contract to pay sivcn dollars per page, but which is so managed as to cost a much greater sum. The Committee appointed to investigate the matter reported to the Senate on Mon day, that tho contractor, Mr. George Bergener, of tho Harrisburg Telegraph, Republican, had entirely disregarded his contract, filling the " Record " with dead and unauthorized matter, for which he had boon paid by tho State four, six, eight, and even nine times, at tho rate of seven dol lars per page.

The exact number of pnos of unauthorized mutter it is impos-ililn t'"t; vour Committee to determine ; but had ali the matter pub lished by tho contractors boon ordered by the Legislature, thero would still bo an excess of about fifty pages mado by the jt publication of various bills and resolutions in different portions of tho Record, (her sixty five bills have been duplicated, and in some in-tanecs they have been published thrce,four and Jive, times. Tho act rela tive to proceedings on mortgages and re cognizances is inserted six times ; the sup plement to an act to enable joint tenants, tenants in common, and adjoining owners of mineral lauds to manage and develop tho 8,11110, seven times ; and tho act to authorize the lease of the llempfield rail road, nine times.

The President made the following ad dress at the ceremonies in Washington Citv on tho 22d : Fellow Citizens I accept the aus pieious omen now presented to us in this calm sunset almo-t without a cloud. Tho early part of tho day was boisterous. Many accidents also occurred to delay tho progress and the completion of these cere mouies. But these occurrences havo ter minated as, thank God, always has been the case in the history of our country. If storms and tempests beset us in tho morn ing, the end of the day is still clear, blight and animating. Such, I trust, will ever li the issue of the gloom and darkness tli.it for a season appear to envelope us. (Ap plause.) The honorable and importiu.t duty has been assigned to me of dedicating this statue of Washington, which is a no ble production of native American genius. This welcome and grateful task I now pro ceed to perform. Standing hero on this beautiful and commanding position, sur rounded by tho Senators and Representa tives of all tho Status of the Confederacy, and by a vat assemblage of our fellow cit izens, civil and military, and in full view of tho noblo Potomac, which Washington loved so well, and of the shores of the an cient Commonwealth which gavo him birth I now solemnly dedicate this statuo to the immortal memory of tho father of Lis Country. (Applause.) I perform this act of pious devotion, not in tho namo of the people of the north, or tho South, tho East, or tho Wort; not in tho namo of thoso who dwell on the waters of the At lantic or of the Pacific, but in tho namo of the whole American Pcoplo of the United States, one and indivisible, now and forev er. Loud applause, and cries of "Hur rah for Old Buck." -May tho God of our fathers preserve tho Constitution and tho Union for ages yet to come. May they stand like tho everlasting hills, against which tho tempests from every quarter of tho heavens shall beat in vain. In a word may they enduro so long as tho namo of Washington shall bo honored and cherish ed among tho children of men. Renewed and prolonged applause. May Washing ton city, which he founded, continue throgh out many generations to be tho seat of gov ernment ot a great, powerful aud united euiueueraey. ououiu it ever occome a ru- in by a dilution of tho Union, it will contederacy.
