Tha Sharon Iron Company, in Ohio, of wbieh every workman is a stockholder, is in full operation, working up aoout twenty five tone of pig metal per cay into bar iron nail plates, Ac.— Freckling*. In that company it scams that there is no greedy set of officers end underlings who -de nothing but run about upon exorbitant salaries and cry "tariff,' tariff! ruin ! ruin !" The business theto seems to be comlucted npon the same, safe and economical princi ples as other enterprises, and the men who conduct tho operations &re all producers and not drones. The Company seems to depend upon the industry and prudsnce of its mem bers for success, and not alone upon the bounty of government. True the Sharon Company enjoys the protection of government, but it ie to aid in ahe collection of debts—to secure the safety of property, and the enjoyment of profits when once fairly earned. And in this pro .teciion the company it well fortified. True, the Company enjoys within itselt all the profits to be derived 'rom the earn ings of its toiling members, but then it does not vaunt itself with hypocritical cant about its business being a God-send to the com munity around it. Its toilsmcn say they have a right to enjoy the profits of their trade in every incidental branch of their business, and this right no one denies them. Govern ment protects them in the right of enjoying ail the profits of a now busiueea which they .may bring into the community, but then thoy must not ptate about the blessings which their business brings to their innocent nigh borhood. They cannot setvs the public in terest and fill their own purses with the same profits, when tho public and private .interests are antagonists. THE REPEAL BILL. We are assured, is daily gaining new friends at Harrisburg. Well, we cannot see what motive any honeal man can have for not being its friend. It can reflect little to the credit of any man to stand God-fatho: to ( tho dishonored bantling of Felty Best. While tho treacherous Senator had a vola to give it was quite natural that li should have friends but he was fully paid, aye, more than fully compensated for all services ho did to any jnan or set of ineu at Harrisburg. There ia no foundation in the atlompt to make tho repeal a party question.—lt is a question of honesty and fairness, and no party can Jo itself credit by taking the dark side of such a caso. Felly Best's adherence has been the heaviest of blows to the Demo cralic party in this county; and to assume the responsibility of his measure must bo e qually disastrous to tho Whigs. In a politi cal point of viow wo could wish that party no heavier misfortune than a connection with this bantlir.g of Host; but one who has sutierod and is without malice, may some times indu Ihe in friendly admonition to a dolitical adversary, and we prefer now to warn all honest men against the infamy which must]attach to the creation of Montour county, rather than to bo compelled here a I tcr to give vent to honest indiSnalion.

Richardson, which is spoken of in .in flattering terms by tne press. Though twe heve not had leisure to persue it our selves*, its pictures of American scenery and Indian warfare—of the vengeful spirit of the"Rednkin and conquest of the white man—of the desperate ferocity of the out law, and the endearing tenderness of wo man, are said to be worthy of our beat wri ters oi historical romance.

PBNN COUNT T.—' We observe that petitions I have been presented in the Legislature of ibis State, asking for the erection of a new county, to be erected < out of the farming parte of Schuylkill ccoe.ty.

Conretptmdmct of tht Star. FROM JMARRISBORO. HARRISBURO, Feb 20th 1851. To-day Mr. Buckalew in the Senate pre* ented seven petitions from Luzerne county praying for the construction of a plank road irom Wilkesbarra to Providenoe. Mr. Sanderson presented petitions for the division of Bradford connty. The bill to limit the time within which a second action ejectment may be brought alter final judgment in an action of enact ment, came up in order, was discussed at length by Messrs. Walker, Sanderson, Ives, Hoge, Frailey, and ftltkalaw, and after hav ing boen ameudod, ort motion of the last named Senator, by striking out live, aid in serting ten yaars as tqo period of limitation, P'Ssed i rinol reading. Veßterday Gen. Shinier asked and obtain ed leave of absence for Major MCaslin, the Senator from Greene. The cause of tho re quest is sickness in the Senator M'Castin's family. The Canal Board has got through with the appointments for this year and the troub led waters are quieted in that direction. But another hungry set of applicants are swarming about for a little loaf from the Surveyor General and Auditoi General's of fice, and those who are not beta have agents about with an eye to ihoir interests. These officers, under tho new law which makes them elective, take their seats on the first Tuesday of May next, but already there are many patriots here eager for a chance to serve their country. The repeal bill is daily gaining new friends as its ineritscomo to be better understood. GRAHAM'S MAOAZINTI for March, is entitled in the publisher's notice acconpanying it, "a surprise number," and it well deserves toe name. If mnkes it* appearance in an equally novel garb and attractive character— without "pictures," (unless we should char acterizs as such a few very finely executed wood cut illustrations,)—without even a fashion plate, these customary ornaments being, for once, substituted by literary mat ter—original, American, paid-for literary matter (it cost, we learn, $1500) 144 pages of it, too—just as many as Harper's New Monthly, and the International Magazines devote to selected matter, not paid for, from the British periodicals. The intention of the publisher is obvious and praiseworthy—the result singular and successful. There aro no less than fitly different original papers in tho number, presenting a great display of names of popular American writers, and as great a variety of subjects handled. DELAWARE LEGISLATION —The Delaware legislature has passed the "Bed Bill," and it is now a law. It exempts 3100 from exe cution or distress for rent, and goes into op eration on the 4th ol July next, but does not effect any existing contracts. The bill repealing the "Inquisition Lay" of 1849 has also been passed. The "Delinquent Bill" has had its second reading in the House. The bill requiring sheriffs to >'Jvertlse in the newspapers in certain cases has been intro duced. The Free Negro Bill, providing for the sale ol negroes out of the State who cannot pay fines for offences of which they are convicted, has been introduced into the House. The amendment to the Constitu tion, consolidating the Presidential and State elections, has been voted down. EARTHQUAKE IN CHILI.— The despatches from the South announce the destruction of the city of Conception, at Chili, by a recent earthquake. This city was destroyed in 1835 by.a similar event. At that lime it was in the height of its prosperity, and it was celebrated for many elegant public buil dings and private structures. A large and splendid cathedral—the finest in South A merica—was thrown down with great loss of life among the workmen. The city of Conception is two hundred miles South from Valparaiso, and stands on a Plain, perhaps two hiiudred feel above the level of the sea. None of the particulars of the late disaster have yet reached here. Index Boards- Supervisors of highways are liable to a penalty of ten dollars in every case where they neglect or refuse to "put up and keep in complete repair," index boards at the in tersection of public roads, after ten days' personal notice by any citizen. That's the law, and the Supervisors in many townships who totally overlook it, should kr.ow the liability they are under in relation to it. In numerous sections, you may travel for ma ny miles without seeing an index board, and are forced to inquire your way along, at much inconvenience, by stopping at the different houses in your path. Arrest sod Rescue or a Fugitive Slave. There has been considerable excitement at Bosten lor some days, growing out of the arrest ofa fugitive slave, and his subsequent rescue by a mob. The slave was arrested, and upon the examination ownership was proved. Ho was left in the custody of the officers, but a mob gathered, composed prin cipally of negroes, and rushing into the court loom, knoked down the officers and rescued the prisoner, who succeeded in making his escape. A number of negroes have been arrested, and several prominent white citi( zona of.Boston, are'now upon trial for parti cipating in the riot and violating the laws of the coutry. ' The President of the United Stales haa is sued a Proclamation directing prosecutions to be commenced against ati persons enga ged in theso disturbances. JOHN ECKEL, Esq. of the well known firm of Eckel, Raignel b Co. Philadelphia, died in tfcat oitv on Monday last, in the 46th year of his age. X3t Samuel Hazzard, Esq., of Philadel phia, has been appointed, under the Act just passed, to arrange for publication the colonial records and revolutionary doou ments preferred in the State archjeves. FROM TRENTON. TRENTON, Feb. 21st, 1851. The long agony is over and Commodore Stockton is elected to the United States Sen ate, notwithstanding most bitter and malig nant opposition. The Senate stood 10 to 10 politically, and the House 20 Democrats to 19 Whigs. But the issue was not strictly political last fall, and the Whig defeat was owing rather to the lact that the State govern ment had falleu quite behind the age in its antiquated notions. The Democrats at first choose John R. Thomson in caucus as the candidate for United Slates Senator, but when his friends became assured that his nomination was not a most prudent one he magnanimously withdrew his name and de sired that the caucus should be called togath er again and act for the best interest of the party. Com. Robert F. Stockton was then placed in nomination and to-day after an animated contest, elected by the followidg vole. Stockston 391 Fold (Dem.) 2 Dayton (W.) 32 j Randolph (>V.) 3 An effort was made to defeat Com. Stock ton because of his business connection with the main Canal and Railroad Co. of the state, but no specific charges of improprie-- ty could be preferred against him, and men of sense and thought will be at a loss to see how a man's business connections should eisfranchise him from the birthright of every true and honest American oitizen—the right of acting as the people's reprosetative when they think hie eerrico of ueo to thom and eleot him. If Senator Stockston votes to ad mit railroad iron free of duty into the coun try, the Whigs will have no right to com plain of the mote in a Democrat's eye, a g long as the bean projects so far from the vis ual organ of such Whigs as the Hon. Mr. Evans of Maine. One thing is certain that the Commodore will make a Senator that will do justice to the people of his S'.ato— credit to the Democratic party, and honor to the sta'e he represents. CURIOUS CONTRAST. —In 1850, it is deduc ed from the returns of the late census, that Philadelphia contains 100,000 buildings of all descriptions, arid nearly half a million of people. In 1750, one centu.y ago, the city and districts contained 2076 dwellings only, against 26,328 now in the city proper, and 10 340 south of city line, and 25,960 north ol the samn line, making an aggregate of 62,628 dwelling houses, leaving the whole number of buildings about 100,000. This is a stupendous growth for one ceutury, and shows the decided advantages of our locali ty for interior trade, foreign commerce and home manufactures, not overlooking the benefits derived from moral and physical causes, such as the excellent hea)|h system of Philadelphia, clean bills from foreign ports, public vaccination, clean streets, abun dance ol water, and every precaution against pestilence, all of them essential elements in the rapid growth of Philadelpnia. CALIFORNIA.— It N hinted that manors of business in.California, are tending to a cri sis, great losses are sustained on imporla lions, and cargo after cargo must inevitably be forced into auction, and sold for what they will bring. Thcio is an enormous a mount of goods in the harbor; on January Ist, the Chili Flour Company alone had in bond about $300,000 worth of Hour, at cost price in Valparaiso, and that has doubtless been doubled by subsequent arrivals, one half of which must sour in consequence of the humidity of the atmosphere. Buildings that in November rented for 1 lftOO, and in December for SI2OO a month, now only fetch S7OO. ty The Norriatown Watchman gives the following description of a big pig in that county : "it is not quite two and a half years old; weighed one thousand and eighty four pounds about two months ago ; measures eight feet one inch in girth; eight feel seven inches and a half in length. It has not been able to see or get up for a long time. The eyes are covered with.perhaps two inches of fat, which lays in folds over them. It is kept very white ard clean, in order to prevent the contracting of disease. It will be killed on Friday next, and is certainly a curiosity, in its way." Another Escape from Jail. —William Butler, who was confined in the Orwigsburg Jail, for pacing a lag on the Mnddy Branch Railroad, and whose trial was to hive-token place at the next March-Court, made his escape on Monday last by scaling the prison walls surrounding the yard, and has not since been heard from. Butler is a native of Ire land, and about 35 years of age. WOMDIARUL CURE—The Belfast, Me. Journal, tells of an old lady who was always troubled with the asthma during the preava lance of east winJs. "After consulting physicians without success,'"' her husband nailed the weathercock with its head to tne west, and she hasn't beer, troubled with tha distemper since. OP We are exceedingly pleased with the speech ot Mr. GRIFFIN of Fayette county in the legislature on the subject of the tariff, h is a good, plain and practical exposition of tarifl fa'lacios: and done in a style that pro res Mr. Grifßn a straight forward man of sound sense and honesty, and a most useful member ot the House. We shall do our selres the gratification of publishing the speech next week. W There is a valentine in the post office at Columbia, Pa. for 'the handsomest man in Columbia;" and another in the post office at Lancaster addressed to "the prettiest girl" of that city. Hon.

CMThe A of Pottsville have formed themselves into an association for mutual improvement, and are about purch asing a library- • A Fall Report of tho passage of tho Mon tour bill. The Danville people at their demonstra tion of lasl week threatened to voto hereaf ter for nothing but their friends. We must do them the justice to say that they are gen erally true friends to those who favor them in their desoarate emergencies ; and now since that is a game at which two can play, it will no doubt be well if the honest peo ple of Columbia cminty will also remember their friends—it may bo of into rest to the people of the whole state to kuow who stood film to blot out from th > statute-book the act consummated by the treachery and fraud of Senator Best, and who voted to sus tain the act of infamy. To that end we give the full report of the House of proceed ings on this subject on the 17th inst. It will be observed that the merits of the bill were on this second reading fairly discussed at full length. The bill to ie-anne* the county of Mon tour to Columbia county,icame up in order, pending the motion to reler the bill to the judiciary committee. Mr. Jackson opposed tho motion at length. Mr. Rhey argued the whole question in all its bearing, .constitutional and otherwise, declaring that the bill was constitutional, and that he would cheerfully vote for it. He stated upon the authority of the representa tive from Columbia, at the last session, that Governor Johnston had refused to veto the bill, but had recommended him to bring in a bill, tha ssry day a/lr ita approval, to 111 peal it ; and for this reason also, would he vote for it. Mr. Rigliam moved the further considera tion of the subject be postponed for the pres ent, which was debated, on leave, by the Speaker and Mr. Bonham in favor of the passage of the bill and Mr. Bigham iu oppo sition. Mr. Icet called the previous question and was seconded by Messrs. Leech, Shugart, Cassiday, Simpson, Jackson, Trone Brindle, Laury, Henry, Fretz and M'Reynolds, The question being, shall the main ques tion be now put, it was now agreed to—yeas 47, nays 32.

The first was in 1.794. The second took place in Boston on the 4th of August, 1836, when two colored women, claimed as slaves by John h. Morris, of Baltimore, were rescued from the Supreme Court, in Boston, during the session of the court, and whilo Judge Shaw waa engaged in trying their case. THB LADIES KEEPSAKE edited by Ashabel Abbott and published by John Taylor New York, is a new periodical of moral literatuie and makes a commendablo debut in the world of taste and thought. The January number has a finely engraved title page and a still finer engraving of a dark eyed mai den "Jeptha's Daughter." The article "Sense and Sensibility" is quite a merito rious production. The Way to the Workhouse. — The celebra ted comedian, John Reeve, was once ac costed by an elderly femala with a bottle of gin in her hand : "Pray, sir, I beg your par don, is this the way to the workhouse 1" John gave her a look of clerical dignity, and, pointing to the bottle, gravely said: "No, madam, but that is." ■ CATHOLIC COHTEBTS —The New Haven Register states that the Roman Catholic Bishop of that district confirmed, on Sunday last. 574 persons of whom 60 were converts —ard among them, the Rev. Edward J. Ives, who formerly preached in East Hsvao, and afterwards in Milford Conspiracy to Rob nod Murder. On Saturday night last a nefarious plot was attempted to be carried into execution by three negroes, led on by a notorious white man, to murder Mr. Hush acd family, who reside about two miles from town. It appears that they were under tho impres sion that the old gentleman had in his pos session a considerable amount of money, and this, we understand, was the chief ob jeet that urged them on in their diabolical purpose—but through the confession of one of the parties, we are happy to state that they failed in their viliianous project. Esq'r. Kline issued a warrant immediately for the apprehension "of the persons implicated and placed (it in the hands of Constable Snyder. Mr. Snyder repaired to tho prem ises of Mr. Rush, accompanied by Win. Colder, jr., and reached there before the conspirators arrived. After being a short time in the house, a rap was heard at the door, the door was opened, but no one could bo seen.—Alter a brief search, however, a round the house, three men, two negroes and a white man, were discovered near the house, making off towards tho road. Mr. Snyder immediately followed, headed them, drew hia revolver, and commanded them to stand. They were then alt three arrested, taken back to the house, and bound with ropes, when they were brought to town, had a hearing before Esquire Kline, and were committed for trial. One of the men was armed with an sxo, but neither of them made any resistance." We have sinco been informed that Mr. Rush died on Sunday night. He had been very feeble for some lime.— Harruburg Union. Ihc Free flanking Law. This pet scheme of Gov. Johnston's will be found, unless we are grievously mistaken if established by the Legislature, m be one of the most mischievous of all the mischiev ous acts of the Pennsylvania Legislature, not excepting that of '3G, which sought to revive the defunct monster. It is an attempt to make the debt of tho Slate the basis of a system of Free Bank ing. The State Debt is to be tho Bank Capi'al, and the more the Stato owes tho more capital we shall have, -ow, there is no reason why the same rule will not hold good with individuals, and if every body, is allowed to use bonds mortgages, notes, &e., as Banking Capital, the more we are in debt, the richer we shall all be. The idea is hsld out that the Stato Slock will be always security for the redemption of the issues of the Bank. Perhaps they would ultimately, but when the lirnq comes that the notes ate required to bo redeemed, it will be a time of contraction, when State Stock and every thing elso will be down, and not to be cunverted into monejj. And whsl is the poor man who may have five or ten of these Free Bank notes, to do with them 1 how is he to get his money out ol the Stale 6tock ! He cannot do it, but must sell his money for what he can get for it to the broker, who will rnako money by buy ing up the Stock at a discount, and thus this sy stem will be doubly calculated to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.—//n//j daytbarg Standard. THE CBYSTAL PALACE. —Some of the sci entific men of London dotibt the security of the Crystal Palace, and expoct to see it fall some day or other. Others howover express the most decided confidence in its strength. I A very severe gale and hail storm, at the commencement of January, passed ovor the Crystal Palace, without even breaking a pane of glass. The pressure of the gale was about 20lbs. to the square foot. The length of the pslace is 1848 leet, and the breadth 408 feet. When tho tables are ar ranged the visier must walk twenty-eight triles, in Order to inspect all the articles on exhibition. The Americans Ihe Nut Half Century.—Tho London Times says that, "at the end of the next half century, tho Americans having a population of one huidred and ninety mil lions, will make small work with the Cana das and the West Indies. There cannot be a doubt that, if the Union lasts till that time the United States will be the greatest nation tLe world ever saw." tV An 'F.astern paper calls the non elec tion of ihe free soil candidate for Senßlor, in Massachusetts, an "interesting case of breach of promise " the election of Mr. James to the Senate by the whigs of Rhode Island will no doubt bo given in the satno paper as a case of "outraged seduction." COM. JONES SUSPENDED —Tho verdict of the Conrt Martial upon Commodore Jones is disclosed ; He is suspended fo* five years; half that time without pay, chiefly for spec ulating with the public money in California gold dust. The President approves the judg ment. A NEW PAPER, to be called Democratic is to be started at Williamsport by Col. Carter and John R. Eck of Philadelphia.

"Mr. ffonhnm on the Tariff.** Under this caption, the Herald of las week express the belief that the people of Cum* berland county will not sustain Mr. Bonh'am in hia "ultra" course on the subject of the tariff. Oiff neighbor is mistaken. Mr. Bon ham's views OP this subject were well known previous to bis election— be never concealed his sentiments. During the oam paigu last fall he discussed the subject of the tariff in all parts of this country, and be ad* • vanced, precife'y, the same views then that he maintains now. Mr. M'l.anahan the Democratic candidate for Congress, in alt his speeches in the district, advanced simi* air arguments to those of Mr. Bonham, on this subject. Indeed it was made the only issue before the people in the election of Congressman. Mr. M'Lanahan and his friends took bold ground in favor of the tsr* iff of 1646. Mr Bacd and his friends, on tho other band, took ground for the tariff of 1842, or for one based noon the same prin* ciple. This was tho issue, and the result was that Mr. M'Lanahan was re-elect.*) by an increased majority. The Herald should know from past expe rience that the poople of this county am sat isfied with the tariff' a* it i*. It is too lata in the day to attempt to got up a panic on that question, and if our neighbor is wife ha will not attempt it Mr. Bonham ta able to defend his course before his cons'itnents, if that course requires defence. He is the very man to knock the noise out of any high pro tectionist in Cumberland county. In hie legislative capacity he has pursued the prop er course on this subject—the course which every true Democrat, tot only io Cumber land county, but in the State, will subscribe to. The Democrats of Pennsylvania have - taken their stand in favor of the principles of thttariffof 1846, and nothing wtillswerve them from their position. Americas Railroad Iran. The Brady's Bend Iron Campany, say* the Pittsburg Gazntte, "are now rolling rails for the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad. Their works are situated on the Allegheny river, about sixty-five miles above Pittsburg, and they have a contract to supply three thausaud tons ol rails, weighing sixty pounds per yard, for our Western Railroad. Several hundred tons of rails have already been rol led, and tho mill is now turning out about forty tmis per day. A new rolling mill has been erected for the express purpose of rol ling these rails. Each bar is twenty feet long, and weighs four hundred pounds. Wo aro informed by a gentl-'man who recently visited these works, and who is familiar with the manufacture of railroad iron, that tho rails are exceedingly well made, and highly creditable to the manufacturers. The delivery of tho rails will commence in a few days, so that there will be no delay in laying tho track from this city to Mew Brigh ton for the want of iron. It is pleasant at least to have part of our road laiJ with American iron, and we are gratified to learn that it is extremely probablo that tho con tracts will be mndo with the same company for the manufacture of the rails for the ex tension of the road wost from Massillion. i Graud Jurors for April Tern 1851.
