ST AR OF THE NORTH. k. W. WEAVER >- ■ OtUIORE, EDITORS. Bloomiburgt Thursday, May Iff, IMO. Why didn't he Veto It As aoon as Gov. Johnston vetoed the ap portionment bill tne Whigs discovered that it was no sin in the Executive to prevent the passage of an "unfair" law. But how then comes it that he dared not veto the Montour hill) Was that not "unfair!" Was it not passed by an open and shameless bargain with the basest man of the Senate ! Were its merits for a moment considered by those who voted for it I Aye, we dare fo say that the Governor was privy to the bargain and sale between the Whigs and Best. A Whig caucus was held on the Saturday night be fore the Montour bill passed final reading, and the Governor influenced the caucus to pass the Montour bill, in consideration that Best should vote with the Whigs on the ap portionment bill. It will not do lo say that Best's was a pri vate bill It had become a set-off to the Ap porlionmnr.t bill, and assumed the character of a bill in which the whole Stale was inter ested. It was passed by a notorious plot to sap the very vitals of pure legislation. Its passage was the climax of corrupt log-roll ing, and the Governor owed it to himself, tt his constituency, and to the State, to vetothu bill of abominations Time was when we had a Governor who w uld use his influence to keep the.founts of legislation pure ; who when h- vetoed a bill did it because the bill was ei'her unjust in itself or passed by the base plot of an unprin cipled and dishonest minority in the Legisla ture through corruption and bargaining. But corruption does not shock the mWal sense of Johnston ! He can sign the Reading Rail road bill and the Montour bill; and he only vetoes when he fears his partij will suffer. But the people will not be wise when they have honest and faithful servants They al low themselves to be tempted to run after ctrange idols and new wonders. They must learn over again the bitter lessons of expe rience, and grow wise by suffering and af fliction. It is nature's law that imprudence will be visited by trying judgments. EP"The Magazines for June come to us with a blnze of loveliness. Graham's has a superb engraving of Jenny Lind, which its fine exectllioh cannot be surpassed, The ballads in Sartain, and in fact all the articles are a fine feast of reading. The June num ber has also a portrait of Jenny Lind, and a sketch of her life and character by Fredrika Bremer, which we publish next week. The •Lady's Book, as everybody knows, is always •■fine.

Our paper is the host printed—August court won't last but one week-it rained yesterday and if I may be allowed to venture to pre sume to express an opinion, I be—am in clined to be—to think that babies don't squall near as loud this month as they did the last one. Nchool Funds. On Friday of last week the State Senate agreed to a proposition enacting that all non accepting School Distiicts, which are now o bligt i to accopttho school law, shall be en titled to a deduction of 25 per cent, on all monies paid by them into the Treasury for State purposes for two years, to be applied to the erection of school-houses, &c. We have not learned whether this provi sion is contained in the appropriation bill as it passed the house ; but if it is finally a dopted it will be important to the tax payers of many of our districts. Mifflin township, in this county, will be benefited to a large sum. tTA proposition has been made in the State legislature to legalize jury trials before Justices of the Peace. Many petty dispules would easily be settled in this way, with a great saving of costs and lime to our county courts. The parlies to a suit would also save much by a speedy adjustment of their diffi -cullies. HAaf Next ?—The Whigs of Maryland are pressing James S. Bailey, Esq., for the nom ination of Governor of that Slate, because he is the Secretary of the Grand Lodge of I. O. of 0. F. of the Uniied States. He is said to havo no political talent or experience, but to be very popular ill the Order. Summer shawls in Paris are now worn of black silk, with embroidered borders of the cashmere patterns. The borders are 12 inches deep, the embroidering fs in bright tints, yellow predominating, giving the ef fect of gold. CONGRESS.—On Monday Mr. Clay made a speech in the Senate upon the Compro mise report on the slavery question, and was listened to by crowded galleries.

Among the speakers were, (as the show bill! have it,) "the world-renown ed" Fred. Douglass, and the Reverend Sam'l. R. Ward, who, as Horace Greely hath it, is "a genuine Nigritian, black as the ace of spades in a deep cellar on arair.y midnight.' A crowd of b'lioys got into the Tabernacle, and among them was Capt. Rynders of the Empire Club. The fanatical speakers abu sed every body, and the b'boys grew bois terous and riotous in the extreme. Captain Rynders was finally called upon the stand by the abolitionists, and made a speech. The meeting broke up on tiie second day of its session, in great uproar and confusion. The police could not be got into action. By AN act of Assembly passed 4th April 1843 (P. Laws 1843 p. 326,) the pay of members of the Legislature was fixed at $1,50 per day, after the expiration of one hundred days, if they continued in session. This ntovision was intended to secure short sessions and a prompt dispatch of the pub lie business. The Legislature however sit ting now beyond the hundred days, has just repealed this act so far, that it shall not ap ply to any when the Slate appor tionment bill is to be passed. By this, the members of the present Legislature secure to themselves $3 per day, so long es they choose to remain in Harrisburg. Best, vo ted an additional dollar aday into his own pocket by voting for himself as Speaker at the opening of the session; for the Speakers of the Senate and House, respectively, re ceive by law $4 per day as their compensa tion. s* Mysterious affair at Danville. The people of Danville, have been thrown into some excitement during the past week by the horrible suspicion that a murder has been committed in that 'place. The Intelli gencer gives the following facls in the case: It appears that about three weeks since a man came to this place by the name of Wood, and made application to the Rolling Mill to get work—a.id at the same time in quired for one of the hands in the mill, whom he was acquainted with. He saw the per son, and also engaged to work the next day. He went with this person to his house, (we forbear to mention names until the mailer is further investigated.) since which time it is asserted he has not been seen or heard of. It was supposed he was murdered in urs ijody dispose;} Q - j n gomo manner unknown, as he was s-iid to have a large amount of money in his possession, to get which was the object of the murderer, if' he wasmurdered. The suspicions of the neighbors were aroused by the non-appearance of the man, and some revelations made by a boy who lived in the house alluded to, and also by the sudden disappearance of another man WHO lived in the house at the time the murder was supposed to have been C9mmitted, and whom it was thought was an accomplice, but who has since come back. A few days alter these facts became known, on Saturday night a warrant was Jiss ued for the first person alluded to as living in the house, and he was arrested and brought before Squire Kitchen, and had a hearing, but was discharged for want of sufficient evidence to retain himjin custody; and thus the affair ends. YES, REPEAL IT ! The Marrisburg correspondent of the Spirit of the Times writes thus about the Montour county bill: . "An act of justice should be consumated ere the Legislature adjourns, to the citizens of Columbia County, by repealing the recent enactment etecling the new county Montour. This question of right belongs to the people of that district, and it would be no more than just to permit them to pass a verdict on it at the ballot-box. The manner in which this bill has been forced through the Legislature, and the coercive measures used by Speaker Best, is convincing evidence to every disin terested mind, that such a course should be adopied. If any like course could be adop ted in relation to the Reading Railroad sup plement, it would create a gala day for all time to celebrate.''

MESSRS EDITORS. WE hare bat little news, and nothing at all strange doing in the coal re gion. The Buckeye Blacksmith's troubles furnished a little food for the gossips, but that was voted less than a nine day's won der and so passed over. His victim was a girl of sixteen, the eldest daughter of Mr. Staata of this place, who is a respectable cit izen with an interesting family. Bear (so the girl testifies) enticed her into hie Daguerreo type Room in January last, and there effec ted her ruin. Afterwards she met him at different places by appointment, until her father found out what was going on. Bear was first brought before Esquire Wil son of this place, who asked bail in $5OO to answer the charge of seduction, and $2OO to answer the charge of Adultery. The de fendant not being able to procure bail was committed to jail. On last Monday he was brought before Judge Hammer at Orwigsburg by a Habeas Corpus, and after another in vestigation, was required to enter into a re cognisance of 8500 for his appenrance at the June Sessions on the first charge, and to precnre bail in 8200 for his appearance then to answer the charge of Adultry. In default of bail he was again remanded to prison. Thegirl's evidence as to the promise of marriage was somewhat contradictory and confused; and upon his final trial other evi dence of such a promise than her own oath will be required to convict him on the charge of seduction. So that, as the world goes now a days, he may be acquitted on that in dictment. But as to the chargo of Adul ery —he has himself said that he is a married man; and hence whatever doubts there may be of the fact of his marriage, he will be convicted C'f Adultery jf the girl will be be- | lieved by the jury. ; Hie fact is, that, in our days girls are too apt to run wild after the itinerant fops that come along with a Tittle smattering of gen tility, but with nothing else. These are gen erally so devoid of character and hon esty, that they do not often wear longer than a month in one vicinity. Their superficial acquirements grow threadbare by that time am' they emigrate for a more genial latitude. Meanwhile, a half dozen young girls of the town have no doubt been charmed by the "nice young man," —such girls I mean as would sneer at honest mechanics, and doat Upon a brainless fop, (though a comparative stranger to them,) merely because the latter lived without work in- lisped , houghlless nonsense. The Reading Railroad Company has not yet erec ed a depot in Pottsville at the late Act of Assembly required. You will re member, no doubt, that the law which gave this company twenty years pace in paying their debts, stipulated that the Corporation should within sixty days erect a depot in the town and take their passengers to and from that point. But though the set time has gone round, no depot is yet built, nor likely to be erected soon. The Corporation is mas ter of the law and the people ! The coal market is yet overstocked, and many of the miners are leaving for more profitable diggins. The Lehigh Companies are taking down coal for almost nothing. The Borough election passed off quietly hem on last Monday. John C Lessig was chosen Chief Burgess; and there was no contest except for Town Clerk and High Con stable, Maj.J. H.

The following is an abstract of the report;♦ Ist. The committee are unanimously of opton, that new States may be formed out of Texas, under the terms of the compact en tered into the United Skates, in the resolu tions of sM that when they are so farmed, they have d clear and un doubted right to be admitted into the Union as equal States; but the do not think that any plan fot the formation of the new states out of Texas, should be origin ated by Congress, but should be left to the people of Texas ; also that such new States should be admitted without any objection on account of the exclusion or permission of slavery. 2d. In considering the question of the admission of California, a majority of the committee are of opinion that every irregu larity in the proceedings antecedent to her application for admission into the Union," should, in consideration of the many cir cumstances of her position, be overlooked, and recommend the passage o f the bill re ported by Mr. Douglass, for her admission into the Union as a State. 3d. The Committer also think it quite necessary that a Territorial Government should be furnished for the Jerritories of Utah and New Mexico. They had been a bandoned, were inhabited by a mixed and unusually varied population, andjwere equal ly as deserving of proper governments, and should have them speedily.* They were un fit, at present, for State Governments, and the Committee recommend that the admis sion of California, and the bill providing Territorial Government# be incorporated in one measure, and passed together as one measure. They also recommend that the bill be passed without the Wilmot Proviso being attached to the Territories. They con sider the Wilmot Proviso, as applied to these Territories, a mere abstraction, 4th. The Committee report as an addi tional section to the California and Territori al bill, a provision determining the bounda ries of New Mexico and Texas as follows: The boundary of Texas shall be the Rio Grande up to a point 20 mtles north of K1 Paso Del Norte—thence the line shall run due north along the one hundredth parallel of longitude .ill strides the Red River, and this line of longitude sltall be the eastern boundary of Now MoxieO—this line includes within New Mexico the town of Santa Fe and a large portion of the disputed territory, fcr which the bill proposes to pay Texas blank million of dollars in stocks, at half yearly in..rest—the principal to be paid at the end of 15 years. It is supposed that the sum agreed upon will be from 9ix to ten millions^ sth. The Committee report a section to be added to Mason's bill, in relation to lugi tive slaves. It provides that every master, before he go into anolhet State to recover his slave, shall go before rome competent tri bunal and establish the fact of elopement of property, and of description of slave, and with these facts attested by a competent rec ord, and upon presenting them to an officer, the clave shall be rendered up to him. Also, that if a slave declares his freedom, he shall have a trial for his freedom on return *o the State from which he has escaped. Gj(i.

We regret the evil that has befallen them.— We predicted it and were denounced and persecuted ftir the prediction, and while we would have saved them if we could from the consequences of their own preverseness, we cannot conceal from ourselves the fact that they are the authors of.their own calam ities.

California as It is. * —— Tha New York Evening Poet has an inter* eating letter from£in Francisco, of a recent date, which foreshadows the state of thinge at :he present time. Idle writer saya: Within a period of sixty days, (March 3lst) there will be the deuce to pay, for there ia no real business doing here worth speak ing of; indeed, the town is about as noisy, and about as busy, as a New England village woulifbe on a hot afternoon in August. The result of this calm will soon be felt. Men and business, nay the very atmosphere, with every animate and inanimate thing, eeem at a stand still, waiting for some great event, like the calm in summer before the thunder storm 1 The truth it, the hurry it over. The town is built—there are houses enough stores enough—merchandise, machinery and mechanics enough, indeed plenty of every thing. The towp is filled with ail sorts of shops, gambling houses, &c., and those will be closed, that is, these quarters of the own ers will fail within sixty days, and must re tiro to the mines. Then down will go the rents, and down the pries of real estate, and following these, many of the merchants will become bankrupts, and finally men and things will find their own level." CALIFORNIA. The intelligence from California by the Empire City and the Ge*gia, is one month later, and possesses marked interest. The Georgia brought 8874,000 in gold, and the steamer California arrived at Panama on the 23d with 82 500,000 in gold dust. The old story of abundence oi gold iu the placers is fully sustained, but property had fallen in price, one heavy speculator had gone by the board, and provisions and even luxuries were abundant, comparatively speaking. A rich mine of coal had been discovered near San Franci&co, Panama and Chagres were healthy at the last accounts, and there were about 3000 persons on the Isthmus waiting their chances. Gold was reported to have been discovered in the heighborhood of San Diego, and the value of the town lota there abouts, had considerably increased. In the vicigity of Los Angeles coal had been dis covered in sufficient quantities, it is said to supply all future navigation of the Pacific. Another exciting lopio at San Francisco was the probable discovery of a new bay, a few hundred miles up the coast, and the capacity of its sltores for new towns and cities. But all these stores should be received with due allowance. The Opinion of an Original Taylorlte. The New York Herald, one of the earliest and most zealous advocates of
