KLINE Chairman. Bloomsbuvg, Jan 20th, 1851. Another Speck of Camsronlsm. At the regular annual Democratic conven - tion ot Berks county held last fall, a resolu . tion was passed instructing the mbmbers of the Legislature then nominated Tto voto a gainsl J-'iraon Cameron for United States Sen ator in the Democratic caucus. A few •' reeks ago a little town meeting gathered in Reading to make provision and arrangements for holding the State Convention there. Hon. E. B. Hubley presided, and the names of eleven other persons appear as participants in the meeting. At the close of thft procee dings a resolution was adopted declaring the anti-Cameron resolution" of last fall's con veh'.ion "unwise and unpolitic," rescinding the instructions, (modest indeed!) and au thorizing the Berks county members to vote as they plcasea. This little incident needs no commentary from us. Our readers will remember that a yenCago we repeatedly declared Mr. l/übley was the Cameron candidate for Canal Com missioner, and proved tho fact by inents at Williamsport, where Cameron, Best &Co , were into the dirty work of a gain deluding the people. The proceedings of the Beading meeting bring new proof. CHEAP POSTAGE. —There seems now to be every probability of tho accomplishment of this desirable objec'. The bill passed the House of Representatives, at Washington, on Friday last, by t vote of 130 to 70. There is no doubt but that tho House bill will be sanctioned by the Senate. The bill directs that the postage hereafter shall bo as foliow: —Ou letters, irrespective of distance, weigh ing half an ounce, three cents; and every additional half ounce, or fraction of half otttieo, to he charged three cents additional. On primed matter of no greater weight than two ounces, one cent is '.o bo charged; bound books, weighing no more than thirty ounces, to be deemed mailable matter. Newspapers, delivered within the Slate, are to pay Halt of the foregoing rates. No pos tage is to be charged ou newspapers deliver ed within the couuty in which '.'nay are pub lislicd, nor Within thirty miles of the place of publication; aiul a deduction ofnifty per cent on the postage of magazines is to be mado when it is pre paid. Tr. order lo fur 'nish convenient corn "for post office purposes, •three cent pieces, to bo composed of three fourths silver and one fourth copper, are to bo mado at tho mint, to counterfeit which will be putrkhed by fine and imprisonment.

PHILADELPHIA COUNTERFEITERS. —Six wo men and two men were arrested in New i York, on Friday last, for passing oounterfeit 10's of the Miners' Bank of Pottsville. They ore supposed to be Philadelphians, and their names of Sarah Wood, alias Green, Ann Kelly, Jane Wilson, HavannaMower, Mary McCready, Et.ieline Wiener, Charles Wis tier and Manefie.'d Wood. A man calling himself Benj. Drafie, supposed to belong to the same gang, was arrested the same night. SHOCKING DEATH.—MR- Ludwick Albright, iu Alamance-county, Va., came lo a shock ing death on the 24tii Hit- He had been drinking frosty, and was left seated before the fite. After about an hour, one of his eons returning, found him lying upon his face, with his head and shoult-'ers in the fire, and dead. His head wae nearly consumed, and his liandf dropped off at the wrist upon his being lifted up. READING- —Tho Reading Gazette is urging tho necessity of providing a night police in that oily. Reading contains 16;000 inhabitants and io:no such sstablihuient seems necessa ry to preserve the p-ace of tho city and prop erty from pi'lage. fW In the Ohio Mr, Pardee gave notice of his intention 19 introduce a bill authorizing eaou ami •very pe.'son in the State to beoome incorporated to oarry PO any .and every lawful business.

LAGER BEER.— Mr. Charles Malchin of Danville is about to commence the manu facture pf the celebrated Ledger Beer. Corrupondence of tie Star. FROM If ARRISBTJ KG. Harrisburg Jan 15th, 1851. The smoke of the Senatorial contest has now so cleaned up that we can begin to see 'ho scorobed and wounded. It is hard to ted 'who is licked for nobody seems to .con fess a discomfiture. The fishy fellows who smell much of the stench of legislative bo rers hic-cup and swear they are satisfied so that Woodward is not Senator, while the in ! tlexibles are content to see Simon of the Bank defeated. ~ The result was brought about by the tin fortunate indiscretion of some of Mr. Fos ter's friends. They went to Philadelphia and procured a heap of abusive handbills to defeat Judge Woodward, which thoy laid tipon the members debks on Monday. It was tho old stale charge o' Native-Ameri canism, from which that faction itself best vindicated Judge Woodward in 1845 when the representatives of the one idea refused to vote for him, and when he declined to ac cept a nomination from them which would huve elected him. It seems Btrangu that men of confessed intelligence cannot dis criminate between the honest annuticiatiou of a correct political idea, and the distortion of it to base, fanatical and partizan purpos es. But it ig enough to say that the mem bers from Philadelphia generally feared to vote for Woodward, although he was in fact the first choice of most of them. Mr. Souder, after the fourth ballot, did vote for Woodward. The indiscretion of some of Mr. Foster's friends no doubt defeated him, for he him self is a gentleman of high character, and deserved-a better fate., Judge Black conducted himself finely through the contest. But the fray is over. The principles ard wholesome usages of the parly are vindicated, and a good man elected over tho plots and corruption of bold, bad men. Allow me to add that when '.he committee from the caucus went after the absentees they found several closeted with Cameron in a pitiful little caucus of disor ganization and mischief. It is every where here cpenly declared that 8-6,000 wars on Monday evening offered for one more vole to bolt from tne caucus nominee. A Dent ocrat of good character who; it was sup posed, could carry a few more Temocrals than Cameron himself was appealed to be a disorganizing candidate and promised Whig support, but he scorned the offer. On ly otte man could be found in caucus who ventured to vote for Cameron—Mr Dobbins of Schuylkill. But tho game of the trick slers was all iu vain, ami yesterday the re creant and reckless minions of the money charges sneaked to their seats and obeyed tho voice of the party which they had des pised. The members from Columbia voted for Woodward throughout, and be in fact re ceived the solid vote of the North. * 10-day the Governor sent to the Senate the nomination or James Po Hock to be Pres ident a.idge in your District, and ou motion i ot Mr. Packer it was confirmed. Mr. Buckaiew presented a petition from John L. Watson of Danville an J others for damages sustained on the North Branch ca nal, and read a bill to authorise the Canal Commissioners to assess the damages. The bill passed at the present session iu relation to the Danville Bridge Company is one au thorising it to borrow money. The repeal bill will pass the House seme time next week. VINDEX. I A WESTERN WINTER SCENE.— At St. Paul, Minnesota, the Mississippi Iroze over on tno 4th of December. On the sth, says the Pi oneer : "From snnrise until almost noon, the peo ple of St. Paul witnessed one of the most superb solar exhibitions ever seen. Three buns of brightness, and too dazzing for the naked eye, apparently rose at once, in the horizon, and the ground being covered with •now, poured forth a dalugo of light, the most intense wo ever beheld. A stream of powerfully refracted rays was blazing downward from the real sun of the centre, like lite blazing beard of a fiery com et, while on each side of the sun, like the segments which forma parenthesis—thus( ) —hung a brilliant sun fog, with a focal point in the centre of each, iuteusely lumi nous, so that these two sane, the offspriug of the true sun by refraction, shone in equal splendor, ail in a row with their great father of light. NEW COUNTERFEITS. —There are counter feit s'e of the Bank of Pittsburg, and also on tl e relief re-issue of the Harrisburg Bank iu circulation. The former is well executed and well calculated to deceive, although the signatures and filling up are badly done.— The counterfeits ou the Harrisbujg differ "re-issue" and the line above it is only half as wide as the genuine. In the latter there is an open space between the horns of the cow on the back ground, whieh is not in the counterfeit. The words behind the milk maid are rough in the counterfeit—the me dallion heads on the right are indistinct; but those on the left are unusually good.—There is in the genuine a space between the flow er on the left hand and the line of small TIVE —FIVE. In the counterfeit the flower touch es both above and below. The bank issued but SIO,OOO of these s's. PHILADELPHIA DELEGATES. —W. L. Hirst, Dr. T. J. P.

JAMES POLLOCK as President Judge was read by Mr. Comly There was a full court and of course every body was anxious to see the new Judge.

Ihe Grand Jury reported a true bill on an indictment for larceny against John Adams. In the matter of dividing Sugarloaf town - ship, the court unanimously decided to con firm the report of the Commissioners, and to erect a new township out of Sugarloaf to be called "Henton.'' AFTERNOON.—A jury was called in the case of the Com. vs. Matthias Klino for for nication and bastardy. Tho defence ftlied upon the proof of an alibi. Tho prosecutrix was very definite in fixiug the time and place of the offence, and was contradicted in portions of her evidence upon incidental points. The jury on Wednesday morning re turned a verdict of not guilty. John Adams who was indicted for larceny was called up for sentence. He plead guilt y, and tho court Bantonood him lo a fine of one dollar, the costs of prosecution that the stolen property be restored and that the pris oner undergo an imprisonment of 2 raonts in the county jail. WEDNESDAY. —Upon the two iudictmeuts against Wni Robisou for assault and battery with intent to kill and another indictment for assault and battery, Mr. Bancroft asked for a continuance of the prosecution to tho April sessions. Mr. Comly resisted thj applica tion quite stoutly, but after some argument the cour decided to postpone tlic '.rial to the April Sessions. A jury was then called in the case of James RiUenhousfl and John Thompson vs. Barney Hole. This is an action of eject ment for about 400 acres of land. Hurley and Pleasants for plarntiff, Comly for defen dant.

It is upon the ground of bis ncn residence in Columbia county. • PAINFUL APPREHENSION, —The newly elec ted and popular Sheriff'of this county, left home on Satu.day last under circumstances calculated to increase th s fear that at the lime, he was laboring under a temporary aberration of mind.

He is a gentlemau of the propor practical knowledge for the office, and will make a good Com mission er.

It is said that strenuous efforts will be made to have the present License j law materially amended. Trie man who spits tobacco on the parlor ' earpet has quarreled with his landlady be- j cause she objected to his going to bed with | his boots on, and threatens to leave the boar-/ ding house if she is not moro reasonable in ' future. The North Carolina Legislature has adopt- I od resolutions opposed to any protective tar- j iff. It regards the present tariff as sufficient- ! ly high, and as oarryiug out the proper ob- | ject of government, in raising revenue. Application is soon to be made to the , Legislature, foi a charter to conslruot a new Rail Road from Pottsville to Philadelphia. The high prices charged for transportation on the old road, it is alleged ie the reason ; for this movement. OHIO.— No U. S. Senator will be elected | in Ohio, it is said, aud no resolutions passed ; against the fugitive slave law. ASSOCUTI JUDGE.—Solomon Foster ha* been appointed Ateooiat Judge for Schuyl- j kill County. The Senate has confirmed th* j appointment. MORE MADNESS. The abolitionist* on the Tth held a contention at Syracuse N. Y. in opposition to the Fugitive slave till. The gathering consisted of whi'ea, blacks and women. Fred Douglass was among the speakers, and among other things gotf*off the follow ing remarks "This Convention ought to say 19 Slaveholders that they are in danger of bodily harm if they come here, and attempt to carry mjan off into bondage. I say to any Fugitive, that nothing short of the blood of the slaveholder who shall at tempt to carry him off, ought to satisfy him. If any one should attempt to take tne into Slavery, I should strike hira down—riiot with milignity, but as complacently as 1 would a bloodhound, and think I was doing Uod ser vice. The slaveholder has no right to live. We must keep them away. They fceep us away from the South. They say they will hang us if we go there—and we keep away. We must make them understand that it is equally important for their safety that lltey keep away from us on errands of this char acter. He referred to the case of Hughes, in Boston. He did not deem it safe to re main, and he left. A few cases like that would make the law a dead letter. Make two or three dead men—that will make the law a dead letter. These men have thrown it in the teeth of the black men, that they are unfit for [freedom —that they have not the spirit to revolt against any degree of op ptcssion. Are we not invited to the work of slaying kidnappers by this theory in regard to omselves I When any human being will so far sink his manhood as to become a wolf, a tigor, a bloodhound, he is not fit to live. I do be lieve that two or three dnad slaveholders will make this law a dead leUor. I have said that the Souih know how to keop Abolition ists away—they Bay tliey will hang them on the next tree—and in that way, and in that way only, can wo keop those bloodhounds from their errand of robbery at the North. He believed the framers of the Constitu tion enacted the Fugitive Bill in effect. But he abjured tlio Constitution and the Union under it. The Union was dissolved, or fast dissolving. If you cannot have national par ties in Church or State, where is your U nion I—We cannot go on without destroying all the rights and liberties of the North. Ev ery step thus far, has been downward. Ho had made progress within one year, as to his views of Iho manner in which slavehol ders should bo treated. Ho once thought human life of moro value than anything else. Bttt he now thought Liberty of moro value. And he who would so far sink his manhood as to turn bloodhound, ought to die. He is not fit to live. If these blood hounds were on the trmk of a man and I know bis place ol concealment, and was re quired to reveal it on pain of death, I ought not to reveal it—l ought to die. Brot her Chaplin thinks sutth meetings as these held all over the Sla'e of New.York, wouM make the Fugi.ive Law a dead letter. That de pends upon what should be said and Jone— what is determined upon—at those meet ings. If they determined to resist they do good." i THE DEMOCRATIC Review, for January, 1851, is a capital number.

The road will be | 56J miles in length, making the distance | from Harrisburg to Philadelphia 1111 miles, | or 7J miles longer than the route byway of i Lancaster. The ruling grade is 1 inch in 200 or 26 1-lOtb feet per mile, against 46 feet per mile on the Lancaster route. This is an important improvement, and should se cure tho attention of capitalists along the : whole valley of the Schuylkill.
