Who are the Reformer* f
Whatever reforms in political policy have
been made in ibia country have been accom
plished through the Democratic party.—
Whatever the progress and improvement of
the country has demanded, the party of the
people has established, tit has been the re
form party of the republic. The nindifica
. lion of the revenue laws, the destruction of a
dangerous national bank, the establishment
of Independent National Treasury, the guard*
lately green against the wild increase of
state debt* era among rha works of Demo
cratic statesmen.
The Isw* of Federal and Whig adminis
trations have invariably worn out and been
swept from the statute book. Whatever
promises have been made by these parties,
none have evvt beer, carried out to remain
aa a permanent policy of the country. And
so it has been with all new parties based
on one idea. They have promised and the
Democrat* have in Hie end enacted the
necessary policy. The alien and sedition
law died the death of infamv. The doc
trine* ol a national bank and an inflated cur
rency has became " obaolete."
And whatever reforms may be needed in
the future will come through the Democratic
element. If abuses exist in national natu
ralization laws or in state license laws the
relorm will not come through a new rsrly
or faction which gives itself up toanch dem
agogues as Simon Cameron; but through
statesmen of integrity anJ character—through
the party which is led by men whose hearl6
and souls are in the cause ol the people.
A Mew Feature
We bave at some trouble and expense
Rede arrangements for an article of some
length upon the present political condition of
Europe, to be illustrated by a number of il
lustrative engravings. Among these are por
trait! of celebrated men upou the stage of
action in Eastern Kurope such as Metternich,
Francis Joseph of Auetiis, the Italian patriot
GarahalJi, Prince Paskewitcli the Russian
Geneial, and acenee illustrative of the man
ners and customs of Russia. The article
will embrace every thing of interest at this
time in connection with European politics,
and will certainly give increased value to
our paper. The engravings are from the es
tablishment of John Frost, the great book
maker of Philadelphia. We shall look for
an increase to ow subscription list, and those
who wish to procure the wholearlicle should
send iu their names immediately. Jt will
run through 4 or 6 numbers of the " Star."
Mr. Samuel T. Callings-
The new Atnericsy Counsul at Morocco,
reports some interesting manners and cus
toms in that country. In Tangier the streets
do Dot exceed eight feet ia width and are
full of filth and carrion. There i* not a
wheeled vehicle or wagon in Morocco. The
only means of transportation is on mules,
asses and cam ale. The donkey is the chief
beast of burthen in town. The only amuse
ment is riding on horseback, but there are
DO road*.
Ir. speaking of the cookrry there, our
Cousut says "it is awtul dirty and filthy, but
we get used to it. The butter is churned in
pig skins and is the tilth iest looking stuff
you ever saw put into a cart wheel. The
beef it poor, tough and stringy. The bread,
fowls and eggs tolerably good."
The old Assyrian are of dyeing, brought
into the country three thousand years ago, is
still preserved in Morocco at a place about
It days journey in the interior. The Moors
use it in coloring wool which they manu
future into the most splendid rugs from
seven to (en yards in length and two yards
wide, thick and well made. They cost
from 920 to 825.
O R THE Know-Nothing organ of this
place thinks the new party achieved a vic
tory in Bloomsburg at the late township
*lection,but over whom it is bard to tell
inasmuch ts -there was only one ticket voted
for, and no contest except to a slight extent
for Justice. If the ticket voted for was real
ly formed by the Know-Nothings, it was
certainly theit duly to remember us in some
way for the bard knocks and good advice
our paper has given them. If they had no
person in their party fit for township auditor
there we* certainly more shame to them in
making the confession of that fact thai, there
was wit in the attempt to call it a "trick."—
If their smartness extends no further their
name ia very appropriate.
But aa we out of town we do not know
who formed the ticket; and snly have the
very poor authority of their organ. It is
however veiy certain that without being a
candidate we got more votes than tevi some
time ago by hard labor and beging got
for Canal Commiaeioner.
Railroad Accident
On last Friday afternoon the axle of ond of
the car* on tb* Cattawissa & Williamsgotl

slightly mutilated, but no person in the car*

A great improvement 'ha* certainly taken
place within a few year* in the increased at

ground should improve it by planting some
thing that shall become useful or beautiful.

Death ol J. Ellis lionhnm
The telegraph brought to us last week, the
sad intelligence that our triend, J. ELLIS
BON-HAM, Esq., oS Carlisle, hud departed this
life. We can hardly yet rcal.ze the melan
choly truth. In Ihe prime of life, in all the
rigor ol intellect and of manhood, it ia hard
to believe that he has been cut down by the
insatiate archer, that Ihe grave has closed
over him, and that w-e shall look upon hirn
I" no mote forever." It seema but as yester
' day that he stood before us in the bloom of
! health, ambition sparkling in Ida eye, and
his whole soul inspired with the magnitude
of the great contest in which he acted so
conspicuous a pan—and now, alas! he
"sleeps the sleep that knows no waking."—
Peace to his ashes! His death will create a
void in the social circle which will not soon
be filled—and when Ihe political charge is
again sounded the Democratic party- wiM
miss the clarion voice and sage counsel of
one ol its ablest and mokt eloquent cham
pion*.

ADVERTISING —The Lehigh Register, of
March 141b, issues the following to business
men:
" The spring season for advertising is now
at hand. There ia no one who has besn
deeply engaged in mercantile pursuits, that
cannot tastify to its numerous advantages
Notice, if you will tke different firms ir. town,
and you see at once that those who adver
tisedoa business to almost Jouble theamount
ol those who do not. If you want business,
advertise, ff you are a hatier, is your name
so familiar to the public, that when a man
looks at his old hat and savs to himself, " I
must have a new hat," he will think of you!
If you are a tailor, make yourself so conspic
uous that a man will think of you every time
he brushes his coat. When a man looks at |
his boots in dusty weather, he says to himself
' I must go end buy apair of patent leathers, 1
have your name so familiar to him, that he
will think of you aid your place of business
just st soon at he does of hit boarding place
when he is hungry. It is the same with ev
erything and everybody who advertises ex
lensively. Their names become familiar
with the people and are associated in the
midst of so much with their goods and arti
cles of merchandise, that all who want what
they sell, are drawn as by instinct, to their
shops and stores. There is nothing like ad
vertising. If you do not believe it, try it and
be convinced."

the legislature. ,
Mr. Buclcalew last Monday called up the
resolutions providing for the adjournment of
the legislature on the lOtti of April, Mr,
Crabb opposed the resolutions, and said no
Senator'could seriously belise it possible for
the legislature to adjourn by the lOtb. Mr.
Buckalaw said he could not speak for others, I
but As could be ready to adjourn by that day.
On Tuesday Mr. Buckalaw again called up '
the resolutions, and after being amended to
fix the l7th of April for adjournment, passed
the Senate.

Mr. Buckitew *Wa declared himself in
opposition to the bill, and pointed out what
he regarded as inconsistencie* and absurdi

would be the "jug act I' Instead of a re

opposite, and lead to abuses which were
not experienced under the preseot system,

A DREAM.
BT cvvrax, ja.
A rare dream it was that we bad tbn otb
er night—a vision of "kind and character
worth relating. Whence its dftgin we know
uot, unless it was caused by an hours' con
verse 'wiih "one of'em" who labored herd
—though withdUt succeeding—to look deci
dedly unconscious o' mornings after the
midnight orgiea of his order. At anyrate we
bad laid ourself down in the blessed hQ|ia of
a long and comfortable nap, .when, soon af
ter our senses were quieted to all surroond
| ing, the drowsy god showed manifestations
of playing pranks with our imagination,
such as he bad never emboldened himself
to bo guilty of before.
We were carried away—not along the
highway or in public, but meakingly through
hedge and field and o'er bog and fence—to
a house '.hat stands conspicuous in the vil
lage of M , and ushered into a room
where shutters were closed and doors locked,
and lo! before "our mind's eye" wete as
sembled in one conglomerated mass,
"Black spirits & white; blue spirits & gray,"
forcibly reminding ua of the tabled oourt of
Pandemonium, where in the "deep and
dark" the councils of the nether regions
wete held.
At firth light we felt the quivering of
alarm, and began to fancy our olfactoriea
detecting the "odor sulphurous." Thinking
that we heif been enticed thither by the
■ 'anld grntleroan in black," we wefe about
beating a retreat,when a voice from an invisi
ble aource whispered In our ear, "stay, and
hearken to the plotting! of the 'Knsw-Nolh
ingr of Greenwood." Heaven save us! was
our mental ejaculation, but on the instant
our curiosity surmounted our fears, for our
second glance at the medley throng before
us satisfied us tbat there were some instruc
tive specimens of the genus homo within the
room ; and having inherited a certain share
of the passion so pre-eminently possessed by
our very illustrious ancestor CIVIER, Senior,
as a Naturalist, we, upon learning that we
were in the midst of the aspiring and very
ambitious politicians of our chivalrous little
township, found our whole attention com
pletely absorbed in seizing upon the marked
physical characters ol the "animals" beiore
us, in order to see with what precision we
might classify them. Neither our manners
nor our morals were contaminated by re
maining, we are sure; for in our collecting
of the salient moral snd physical peculiari
ties ol the several geni which we had the
satisfaction to examine, we entirely forgot
to take cognizance of the schemes and plot
tings of the "night enshrouded" assemblage.
Hut, scientifically , that -to us was a matter of
very small moment. We were too busy in
our classification, —and here they are.
The first grand division that claimed our
attention were what we likened to the SIMIA:
—or plainly Monkey. Of this class there
*•••• ••••••J fif ant. Thay Maailta- ,
bly low foreheads, and quite unsymmetrical
projection of the jaws. Their disposition to '
ape and mimic their superiors is inherent.—
This they are apt to do in gesture and man
ner. The more prominent in the gathering
might be distinguished by the buttons on
his coat,—another by his glasses, worn to
appear learned—and to hide hissinister eyes.
The next class among them we marked
down as belonging to tho REPTlLE— animals
that ate cold blooded, "with hearts adapted
to their necessities." This class, as they
"on their bellies crawl," very generally leave
a wee bit of their slime. They are of "earth,
earthy," and never aspire to. aught above
lerra firma. In more senses thac the adopt
ed one they are "Kuow-Nothings;" and were
it not for the fact of their having a vote, not
one of 'em would be suffered to "drag his
slow length" to the council chambers of the
order. There are 100 many of this genus to
require minuter skelcbiug. Tbey love flat
tery and whiskey.
The third class,—and several of them we
studied—might beset down as belonging to
the tribe of master RcYaAßtv—the Fox. The
physiognomy as well as the peculiarities of
the animal are too familiar to all to need
description. Cunning is the predominant
trait of his character, and if foiled in our di
rection, this ferule "bump" suggests some
unique scheme to carry him through in an
other. "If the 'dimocrats' wont promote me
lobe care-taker of the 'big house' at Blooms
burg, to watch the 'limbo' needing rouges
that may be aent there, and to become
h—gm—it of the county—an enviable trio
of honors—why, eh, hem, the new party
may do the thing thal'a nice." With the
Baconian apothegm, "cunning is a crooked
kind of wisdom, but there ia a great differ
ence between a cunning man and a wise
one," we leave him fot
Our fourth division—the PORPOISE. This
species have a wonderful propensity to blow.
Upon extra occasions they inflate themselves
to such an extent as to cause ens to feel that
without the intervention of the Cooper (we
aint classical) there is immiuent danger of a
burst. But after a thunder-gnat of hard swear
ing, and harangues consisting of "distinc
tions from beginuing to end," after the de
livery of which both you and they are as
wise as you were before they begun, you
find them rapidly receding down—down to
their normal dimensions, without injury or
lues, excepting— wind/ If Vulcan dont know
himself, we'll pray with the poet—
"Oh wad some power the giftiegie him
To see himsrl' as iihers see him,''
and hasten on to—
Our fifth class—the CIIAMELIOR. These
are eternally changing, and to avoid detec
tion, their hues are altered to correspond

The sixth division bore close resemblance
to the SHANGHAI. There was but one eps
cimen present. His pedal extremities were
decidedly long, raising hitn "up" in (be
world. He would be a perfect "bird," were
it not tbat he M affected with something re
sembling in some particulars what doctors
call Choren, manifested by the spasmodic
contortions of bis body, dodging and shrug
giog of head and shoulders, etc. Once hear
him "orov" and you'll know him "aver

present—and we think-sill were there—were
in the height of their element. The night

KnowNutbißgltm ia Europe.
Since naturalized citizen* have become so
very dangerous in the eye* of the disappoin
ted office-seekers, weak-minded men, and
numerous old ladies of America, it maybe
iateresting to know what the principal gov
ernments of Europe think of then:, and the
amount of eoufidenoe they see proper to re
pose ill them. We cut the annexed extract
from the Linden correspondence of the N.
Y. Tribune, giving the names of some of the
naturalized citizens of the different nnti-ins
ot the Old World, and the position tlrey oc
cupy :
Asto France, Court Wulewski, the Am
bassador in England, is a Pule, naturalized
under Louis PhiHippF. The Senator Wo
lowski, one of the French authorities in na
tional economy, is likewise by birih a Pole.
It is well known that the Napoleonic Gener
als, Ney, Rapp, and Kleber, the republican
hero wounded at Cairo were born Germans.
Gen. Schramm, a German, is to command
the army which Napoleon sends toGsllicia.
In. Austria, Prince Meiteruhrh is, by birth, a
German fiom the Rhine; Count Grunrie,
the omnipotent Aid-de-Camp of Francis Jo
seph is from Rergium, where he owns con
siderable land, d properly; Prokesh, the
Ainba."dor of Austria at Frai.kfort, is from
Fribourg, in Baden ; Baron Brurk, lata In
ternuncio at Constantinople, a Prussian from
the Rhine, and Haypau was a Hessian, lu
Russia Baron Brunow, late Ambassador in
London, is a German Jew; Count Nesiel
rode, a Gexman from Frankfort; PdZzo dr
Borgo, Emperor Alexander'* most distiu
guisbed diploma, was a Coraican; Gen.
Jomini is a Frenchman—so was Barclay de
Tolly," * . .
fcz In order to show the quantity of pub
lic lands which will be necessary consumed
under the new bounty laud bill, to sali-dy
those who havo already received land war
rants of a lest denomination than 160 acres,
we copy from the Washington Star the fol
lowing;
Under the act of 1847 there were issued
7,372 warrants of 40 acres, and there must
be 7,370 warrants uf 120 acres issued, or, in
all. 884,640 acres.
Under the act of 1850 there were 103,000
40 acre warrants, and 57,059 80 acre war
rants issued. To bring all these of both clas
ses up to ths 160 acre standard, will require
an expenditure of 16,924,720 acres.
Under the act of 1852 there were 9,000 40
acre warrants issued, and 1 650 80 acre war
rants issued, and 1,650 80 acre warrants; and
to bring these nf both classes up to the 160
acre standard will require 1,212 000 acres.
In all, an expenditure of an aggregate ol 19,-
011,360 actes of the public domain will be
required to satisfy the claims of those who
have already receivod land warrants under
the bounty land acts.
Up to this lime no warrant lias been is
sued for services of less than thirty days.
The law just passed, however, grants one
hundred and sixty acres for fourteen day's
service. In addition to these 19,021,360
acres to be so used up, it is estimated at the
Land Office that at least 100,000,000 ol acres
will be required to cover the demands to
arise under the new law, from classes of in
dividuals whose service has not heretofore
been provided for by Congress. The man
who shouldered his fowling-piece, and watch
ed the shore in the neighborhood of Piscat
awy, and within a mile of his own door, will
under the law, get as much land at him who
underwent the horrors of all the Canada cam
paigns of the war of 1812 !
RIGHT. —Mr. Killinger has introduced a
bill in the Senate looking to the publication
of the laws in the newspapers, instead of the
oIJ fogy pamphlet-system. We hope be will
be backed up by the press of the State. The
bili should by all means become a law.
