Whig Logic
Charley Cook of tlio Dantffllc IVhig has !
nil intelligent correspondent who defends
Senator Krailey from our rcbuko iu this
wise: "The people of Montour aro grateful
to Mr. Fruilry—tho people of Columbia
wero iingratolul to you, ergo it is right to
give Mr. Krailey a horse for his devotion to
the Montour interest." That chap is a dan
gerous logician, nnd if ho must write for
Whig papors had bettor go at tho business
of putring pumpkins and squasllOß, for at
that he might make his "tarnal fortin." But
a Whin's a whig, nnd wo only ask that the j
high intelligence ixtiivh delights in such
classical and logical articles shall not attempt
te ridicule us by praising us for having more
manliness and decency than generally, iu
these degenerate days, falls to tlio lot of ed
itors in a small village, ft is very unkind
for Hitch intelligence to eeniniond us, and
we shall have to study out some strong de
fence if we are threatened with tlio like in.
lliclioii again.
Cattuwlssa Railroad.
To slioW with whut confidence wo may
tely upott tho completion of tlio railroad
connection between this region ami Phila
delphia we will just mention an incident in
tho lute ruilioad mooting nt Caltawissa. Col
Paxton stated that before long tlio bonks j
for subscribing slotk would bo circulated J
but subscriptions would then bo only asked
to bo paid when the first locomotive from, ,
tho Schuylkill or the Lehigh should run to
tho bank of the Susquehanna, and thou only {
in ton equal monthly payments of $5 each.

Impel tint Decision.
In tho United Slates Circuit Couil, the oth
er day, it' tljo case of tlio United Klalcs vs. 1
Weisc, Mr. Juslicu Grior delivered the opin
ion of the court, inaintuing tho motion ol
District Attorney J. W. Attlmicad, for a per
petual injunction to restrain tlio collector ol
Btalo and county taxes, oi Cumberland
county, from proceeding to collect certain
taxes assessed upon a military post occu
pied as barracks by the U. Slates.
Tho opinion decides that there is no au
thority by law to impose a lux upon any
property owned by the United Slates within
(lie State ul Pennsylvania, ar.d that all taxes
heretofore assessed are illegal and void. The
opinion is very able and interesting.
l-F Peter Siegfried one of fho prisoners

I'Trc Insurance Companies,
Thcso Companies aro of threo kinds,
Stock, Mutual, and Mixed.
1. Stock Companies are those that insure
for a specific premium, paid annually in ad
vatico. A long series of experiments has
enabled tho managers of thoso Compalies
to tlx a rate of insurance whioli w.ill ordina
rily onablo them to declare a reasonable di
vidend upoji tho Capital invested. What
constitutes the safety of thcso companies is,
tho amount of Capital actually jmid in and
securely invested. Corporations sometimes
borrow money to start upon, so lang as to
answer tho iiloral requirements of tho law
They have no consciences, and people must
look out for thcin.—lit general it is safer to
insure in a wcll-os'.ablishod Company. Tho
Franklin, Philadelphia, is strictly a slock
Company. It has issued over 100,00 Poli
cies, and post-essed funds amounting to over
one million dollars.
2 Mutual Companies aro thoso that, in ad
dition to the ajvanco premium, tako a pre
in i inn note of every member, which is sub
ject to assessment to pay the losses and ex
penses of the Company, or to make up tlio
deficit alter appropriating the udvanee pre
miums to !his purpose. Somo of these
| Companies tako very high notes, and a
small Cash premium; others, low nolod and
: a high premium.—(In thcso Companies, the
I notes' aro the principal fund to be relied up
on by the insured.) — Ihe State Mutual Co.,
which duos business both upon tlio Stock
utul Mutual principle, requires a sufficient
premium iu advance, to pay ordinary tires
and expenses; whereas tho Monroe Co..
\ takes but one dollar on a thousand insured.
| Tho Wyoming, Lycoming, Luzerne, Moil
i roe, Northampton, &c , aie strictly nwticul.
3. Mixed Companies are thoso that insure
for a specific advance premium, without
any further liability to the iusurod. At tho
I same time those who insure participate with
! the Stockholders iu the profits of the busi
ness, in proportion to tho amount paid in.

properly considorc'd a companion to tho

Its object is to illustrate nnd "render more

author's design to supersede tho Bible. But
his wish is excite a solieitudo to obtain, ami
to become intimately acquainted and per
fectly familiar with its history, doctrines and
laws; to know its truth to irnbibo its spirit,
fool its power, nnd paitnko of its salvation;
in a word, to prize in soiro measure as it

to a book with more pleasing anticipations,
or found those anticipations more fully re
alized, than in tho perusal of tho work be
fore us, and wo know it will bo hailed with
gratitloitlion by tho many admirers of the
talented author. IBs "Napoleon and his
Marshals" was, perhaps, as popular and
found at least as many enthusiastic readers
as any book that can be mentioned. Wo
' think die Rambles and Sketches uro des
tined tb bo as popular at least as any of his
previously published works. There is not a
dull chapter in the work, filled as it is with
"an infinite variety." TliiJ author has am
ple rotim and vcrgo ondugh for tho employ

and most successfully has lie accomplished
tho task. Tho biographical sketch of lliu
