STAR OP THE NORTH. B. W. WEAVER, EDITOR. illooinaburg, Thursday Oct. 30, 1851. •RAILROAD IRON. "Observer" of the Philadelphia Ledger in n late letter shows by facts and figures th e great superiority of American over English Tailroad iron; using the Reading railroad) on which a very large business is done, as a test. He gives as a fact that only the low priced English iron can be biought to this country tn enter into competition with Amer ican won, and even this only once until the ipiality of the two kinds is tested. The average yearly per centage of rails worn out on the road for the <two years en fling on the Ist of December, 1849, has been ns follows.— English 45 ponnd rail, 1 3-10 per ct. perann. Do. 52 " " J 4-10 " " Do. 60 " " 6 3-10 " " Phrcnixvillo Pa., 60 " " 7-10 " " This statement, however, does not exact ly indicate the relative value ol the several kinds of iron mentioned. The 45 and 52 lbs. rail, are both on the light track ; yet it as the to and 11 years' wear of the former svhich compares with the 7 and 8 years of the latter, and the 5 and 6 years of the 60 lbs. rail, which are compared with tho aver age of the first three years wear of the Phrcnixville American 60 lbs. rails ; both of which latter patterns are on the loaded (coal) car track. The following is given ns the compara tive wear of rails on the Reading railroad : English, 4 1-10 per cent, per annum. American, 1 4-10 " " Difference in favor of the American, 2 7-10 per cent.; or otherwise stated, the cost of ro pairing these rails per annum , (considering j the damaged iron taken out as worth half as much as the new iron put on the -track,) will be as follows: Repairing Eng. iron per ton per yard, 82cts j Do. American, " " " 28 " i Difference in favor of American rails 54cts In addition to this, we must make a prop er allowance for the labot of replacing the •Lars, and for the greater wear of machinery running over constantly Tailing rails, items which will increase the advantage of the good iron at least 50 per cent, on the 82 cts. | per ton per annum, and correspondingly en hance the advantago resulting from the em- [ ploymcnt of American rails. More Scwardism. At Syracuse in New York there was last j week a meeting of the friends of law and 1 order, when a band of rioters, among whom j were several of tho most respectable citizens ! I Hirst in and attempted to break up the meet ing. Jenetl Smith lias issued a flaming address to the Liberty party, in which he advises the negroes to resistance, and even to blood shed. He calls President Fillmore and Messrs Webster and Cass murderers. And now, to show that not only a few fan atics have broke loose with their wild ra vings, we have another item of news to j cap the climax of Whig abolitionism, and to show what a great "kindtry" this is. We copy the telegraphic report—"Rochester, Oct. 25th. The Whig District Convention met to-day for the purpose of nominating candidates for Assembly. FREDRICK DOUGLASS, COLORED, RECEIVED 21 OUT OF 9<j VOTES. - ' We think we can hear "Fred" with a grin exclaim—"to die complexura hab dey kum at last." This thing needs no commentary to a white free- • man ; but it may be well to note that Ro chester is the place of "spiritual knocking",'' find where great efforts are made lor "wo- ! man's rights," and to have delicate females ! leave their squalling youngsters at home, J a bile, geared in trowsers they should elbow ) their way through crowds ol drunken loaf ers to the polls to vote. Of course lhs re lormers are generally male politicians. lUonroc County Is a great place for Democracy to vege tate. There are just about 400 Whigs in the whole county, and some of the town ships bavo very appropriate names. Jack son township, at tho falP election, gave 5 votes for Johnston and not oflti for any Whig candidate for the Supreme Bench. J" Po" 1 township the vote stood 135 for Bigler |o 1 for Johnston. The county well deserves the California banner. In fact Democracy there grows so rank that it LOPS quite over, and we notice lhat at the late election there ivere four candidates for county Commis sioner, and the regular Democratic nominee was defeated by 2 votes. The proportion of Bigler'a vote to Johnston's is 4,981 to 1,000. Pike comes next to this, and gives u propor tion of 4,944 to 1,000. In Columbia, we ought to have given 7 more votes for Bigler lo make our proportion 2 to 1. SERIOUS I.OBS- On last Thursday the Canal boat of Capt. Valentine Beidelroau of this place sunk in the Chasepeak bay at Chesepeak eity. The boat had been tied-over a pile, and when the tide went down the pile broke through the host and it sunk some 12 feet under water. A large amount ol merchandise was on for merchants of this place ; some for A. J. Slo an, Elias Mendeahall, Bloomsburg R. R. Iron Company, Mrndeuhall & Mensch, John K Grotz, William Sloan and small amounts for eome others. The goods havo, however been all taken out, and spread out to while some have been sent back tcJ Phila deipaia. OT The young Whigs of New York don't much like their party name ; so they adorn it by calling themselves "democratic Whig Yebag Men.'' The wotd "Democratic" is to them what a dicky is lo a fellow without a shirt—it keeps tip appearances i One matter settled. The Whigs of Pennsylvania in their mis fortune coneole themselves by saying that Wood, the Democratic Governor of Ohio who was a few weeks ago re-elected, is as bad a Freesoiler as WIP. F. Johnston of this state. Well that must be mighty poor com fort. But the truth is that of the three late candidates for Governor in Ohio, Wood was the least of all tinctured with abolitionism. In the Western Reserve, where the aboli tion feeling is strong, the Free Soil candidate received a large vote ; and as between Vin ton the Whig and Wood the Democrat there is a significant fact which tells whioh is most of an abolitionist. Both Chase and Wade the present U. S. Senators of Ohio are or at least were Frecsoilers ; and of these Chase stumped the stale for Wood, and Wade urged the election of Vinton. For this aot<Chase was by resolution read out of the Froesoil parly, while Wade is still regar ded a member in full communion. Who wants further proof? But now we have a question lo put to (be other household—lf Vinlou ran in Ohio on the Bigler Union platform, and Johnston ran in Pennsylvania against llmi position, how came the Whig conventions of both Ohio and Pennsylvania, to nominate Genera) Scott for the Presidency, and which sale of the house does he belong 10, or is he on the fence ?

But Johnston conceived that subject j might be used to hi| profit and be staked it ; in the oontest. Not satisfied with lhat, he. next tried to scveeti himself behind the mili- i tary reputation of General Scott, and thought a heroic name should save him now as it 1 had done three years ago. But he lost the two great stake%of his patly, and left it bankrupt m a political watchword and rally ing cry. UNEXPECTED. —The Whigs counted on 70 majority in this borough on Tuesday last, and had every thing prepared for a grand demonstration as soon as the votes were counted off. Their transparencies were all distributed, and ready to light up, many of them having blanks left to fill up the ma jorities. They were not brought out how ever, when the result was known. Rather guess they have discovered that "there's many a slip Twixl the cup aud the lip."—: Hollidnysburg Standard. ***** WOOD LETTER. —There tre very few estab lishments fortbe manufacture of wood letter in the Copulrj".

E7" A Young Girl tried for killing her in fant brother in Providence, has been acquit ted en the ground of insanity. It appears that the accused was used as a "medium" in that gross imposition called the spirit rap pings, and that she hod a full knowledge of the deceptions practised iu this respect. |She would prophecy that the spirits would carry off a snufl box, and then hide it herself to make it appear to be the truth. EautLtTv.—lt is asserted in some of the Northern newspapers that there are more land-holders in the State of Massachusetts alone than In all England and Ireland togetb. er. We do not knew what authority this declaration has; but it accords with our own impressions, and tells, in a forcible and prac tical way, the difference between the tenden cies of an aristocracy and a republic. iy There has arisen in New York, anew 1 star, said to be of the very first magnitude, in lbs person of Misa Greenfield, a colored lady, and ii is proposed to call her "the Black Swan."

Whence Comes the Present Money Pres to re | What was the cause of the great moneta ry crisis that overlook this country in 1837--8, and covered it, as it were with a pali five long years? It was over mrt'ob credit. Too much speculation anfffoo little Itfbot. Buy ing ao,far outran paying, ih at the whole country was eventually wound up with the spendthrift's end—overwhelming bankrupt cy. A ruin that nothing short of that greet sponge, the national bankrupt act, could wipe out. People would be rioh at a single bound. They had not patience to whit on the slow process of lime and labor. The consequence is known. In Great Br itain j two or three years ago, a railroad mania overran that nation. A map of the country resembled (be face of a chequer-bosnl, so closely and thoroughly was it intersected with lines of roods. For the construction of these, companies industriously employed themselves in the sale of stocks and borrow ing of money. A railroad there was though l to be the only road to fortune, and everybo dy seemed to be pressing forward for a tick et. Men bought and sold shares, in lines of unmade roads, to tba amount of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and lived extrava gantly fur years on the result of their traffic in them. The end came, and it was such.an end as always foHovrse course ot profligacy. England suffered a revulsion, second only to our own, a few years before. Confidence was prostrated, business was at a stand, and ruin and desolation left an impress that time has hardly yet worn away. It is the misfor tune of nations as well as of individuals, that the lessons of experience, in affairs of debt and credit, are never remembered. The people of the United States have already forgotten the general bankruptcy in 1840; and though the speculations in town lots and "other fancies" have not been so great as they then were, debts have been piled us high, and probably nearly as much money has been tost in copper mines and projected railroad, as was swallowed by the "fancies" of 1840. Like causes produce like effects and those who are inquiring for the cause of the present stringency in the money-market, we point to the immense sums that have, within the last few years, been invested in railroads and other works of internal im provement; to the monster lines of ocean steamers, and to our speculations in Califor nia, and the largo balance believed yet to be due our Atlantic cities from that Stale. From Maine to Texas there is scarcely a city, county, town, or borough that has not, for two or thres years past been in the market with their bonds, borrowing money—at par, if they could, and if not at par, then at ten, twenty or fffly per cent discount. While the banks continued to swell the currency and to afford accommodations to all who asked i them, this system of improvidence was not felt. But as the United States is not the whole world, nor its commercial relations to j trade between its own ports, this cheapen ing of the currency eventually attracted at tention abroad, and we have been for the last year or two flooded with foreign fabrics. Evary other nation could underwork us, be cause the banks hod made money so cheap that it took a great deal of it to buy a little. Other nations, with a more valued currency, could produce manufactured goods cheaper, and aflord to sell them lower, in our town market, in spite of a protective tax of from 20 to 30 per cent. Our currency, of coin and paper was of equal value at home, so long as the banks kept open, but those who flooded our market with foreign productions always discriminate in favor of the coin' They never took our bank paper—that was left for us, until within a few months the proportion of coin to paper was found to be so wide that the banks, for self-preservation, were forced to curtail accommodations were narrowed—paper was called in, and then commenced tbe pressure. The banks here tofore the fountain of money, have the great mulestrom that swallows everything. The present stringency, though produced by the banks, may save the country from much more serious consequences. The error* to be complained of are adherent with our banking system—a system which privileges certain individuals to make money out of lampblack and rags, at pleasure. It is the bank and paper money, and the spirit and speculation and profligacy that they provoke much mora than the tariff, that has produ ced our preseut troubles. A redundant cur rency will nullify any tariff The banks were wrong in Increasing their liabilities to the public, and individuals were equally wrong in being seduced into their debt. All Ih* evil may be traced to the one. cause— paper money —and yet so many friends has this paper money purchased, that it is likely to shutle its sins upon innocent shoulders by crying mad-dog again! the tariff.— Ledger.

WILLIAM F. JOHNSTON : That fealty to the memory ol oor lathers of '76, an I a decent ■respect,for the trials of those days "that tried mien's souls," required at our hands a signal rebuke ol all efforts, direct or indirect, to sow broadcast the seeds of discord and dis union ; That the clustered reminiscences of Bunker's Hill, 'Saratoga, Brandywine, and thpse other and numerous limes of revolu tionary strife and success, demanded of us, the inheritors of their rewards, a blistering brand for the blackened brow of every ren egade : That our sense of the propriety ol strict obedience to the calls of common hu manity, and firm conviction of the great criminality of disobedience, prompted us to discard with disgust the demagogue who could coolly pass, on an electioneering tonr, the body of a murdered fellow, when simple sympathy asked for nl least a glance, if not a groan, and official duly urged instant anil vigorous action for the arrest of fhe bloody viltians; That our unwavering opinion, that a system of revenue whicn has almost doub led govermentul receipts, lightened the load of the laborer, and afiorded sufficient protec tion to discriminating enterprise, is a jewel worth retaining, induced us to spurn rhe po litical leech whose constant cry was monopo ly! monopoly!! In short, that devotion the Union, regard for the claims of Christianity and civilization, and an earnest care for the i greathst good to the greatest number, deter- ! mined us to arise in our might, repulse con- I slilulional irreverence, consign to infamy ! heartlessncss, and provide, to the extent ol : our ability, for the further progress and pros parity of our already unrivalled country. \ Given undet oar hands and seals, every where within the borders of Pennsylvania, this Uth day of October A. D. 1851. THE PEOPLE. | Revolutionizing Europe. A large meeting was held in Pittsburg to lake into consideration the best means of af fording aid to the cause of Liberty in Europe. Mayor Guthrie presided, and amoDg the off- I icers were Cornelius Darragh, late Attorney l General; W. W. Dallas, Esq; 11. S. Mag- j raw, Esq ; W. W. Irwin, laie Charge to Den- j mark; Robert M. Riddle, and other promi- i nent citizens. The German patriot, Dr. Gott fried Kinkel, addressed the mreling, and ! Col. S. W Black, Judge Shaler and Captain Naylor were also among the speakers. Res olutions were adopted in which is detailed a plan of organization. 1 The creatiou of a fund of two mil-1 lions of dollars, for the purpose of forward- i ing the approaching revolution in Germany, ( shall b*forthwith commenced by means of j a German National Loan. G. The revolutionary Committee, elected ' by the convention, shall have unlimited pow er to dispose of the money realized for pro- j moling the revolution. They will surrender j their power, when an acknowledged revolu- : iionary government shall be established in I the fatherland. This government shall have the right to require at the hands of the said j committee, an account of their transactions, and to submit to the decision of the people \ the question of their administration of their : trust. 7. The signers of this document pledge themselves, after the conquest of the revolu tion, to use all their influence, to procure the assumption by the Stale of the principal and interest of this German Revolutionary Loan, and to carry out faithfully all the conditions thereof. GROWTH OF THE WEST.— When the army j of the U. S. marched from Cincinnati to the ' Lake, on its way to Detroit—who were af- , terwards surrendered to Hull—the provisions j and munitions of the troops were taken up the Greot Miami to Dayton in a keel boat. They were two weeks ascending ; yet such | was the condition of the road, that this was 1 preferable to hauling in wagons. Now, if | occasions required, the same army, with all its baggage, artillery and stores, could be taken to the same point iu two hours, and to Lake Erie in six hours !
