STAR OF THE NORTH. R. W. WEAVER. EDITOR. IHoomnburg, Wednesday, June 3, 1857. Democratic Nominations. FOB GOVERNOR^ WILLIAM P. PACKER. of Lycoming County. FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER, NIMROD STRICKLAND. of Chester County. UTAH AND THE MORMONS'. It is very evident that since Kansss proves barren ia political capital the enemies of De mocracy are looking toward Utah for a new source of agitation. Bat so long as it shall stand upon the records of the republic that Millard Fillmore signed the bill ereeting Utah into a territorial government without any prohibition of polygamy, and that Clay and Webster voted for that bill, we think the mischief-makers had better keep pretty quiet. Some poor fools (ry to abuse (he Democratic party because Brigham Young i a Governor of Utah. Let them remember tbat Milliard Fillmore first appointed him Governor of the territory, and oontinued him in that position during hie whole adminis tration; although it was well known years before, while the Mormons yet lived in Illi nois,. that these people were polygamists; and their conduct was such a daily violation of the laws that tbe citizens of Illinois could not live with tbem. In 1855, when the Pres idential nominations became topics I>f con versation in Utah, Brigham Yonng said to Chief Justice Kinney, in the presence of Li dian Agent Hurt and United States Attorney Holm an that "if Mr. Fillmore is renominated for Pieiident, I unit send a hundred elders to the States to electioneer for him." This onght to settle the Know-Nothing wing of tbe Op position. But we have a word for the Republican pirty. You trample upon the law of the land in the Dred Scott esse, and even upon the Constitution of the republic when your Massachusetts Legislature passes a person ally liberty bill, and your co-adjutors in Bos ion attempt to rescue the fugitive slave Burns, ven shooting a United Stales officer in that attempt. Surely you ought not to .complain if tbe Father of Deseret transgresses .RIBO. — He is no doubt wrong, but we can sefl no difference between his offencs and yours.- He disobeys one Jaw—yon tample on an- I other. True, yon justify by saying yon have an instinct which to yon is a "higher law" than statutes or courts. But Rrigliam Young also follows hit instincts, which instead of induc iog him to shoot a United Stales Marshall tempt htm to indulge his lust in a harem.— Hie passions are evidently of a somewhat different kind from yours, but we can see no good reason why he has less right than you to follow them in defiance of law. He pleads the example of Solomon and the pa triarchs, and his instincts, as a "higher law" just as you plead about your instincts against the fugitive Flave law. You refuse to respect the law of the Died Scott case—he refuses to obey the law prohibiting polygamy. We ard unable to see the difference in your trans gressions; and it does not become people who live in glass bouses to throw stones. We are willing to see Brigham Young ex communicated, for we think be and hit dis ciples are old offenders. But on the same principle we insist that Seward and his parly ehall ba gored by the same boll, and shall go over the Styx in the same boat. Virginia Flection. The Virginia State elections wtre held last week, and resulted in a complete victory for the Democrats. Member* of Congres and of the State Legislature were elected, and among tha former we are pleased to find Hon. Wm. Smith who did yeoman service last fall in ibis county for the causa of the people. He will be an able member, enjoy- 1 ir.g the intelligence andexperienta requisite for that position; and such a general kifbwl edge ol public men and publio questions as will make him an honor to bis district aud a useful member to the whole republic. Appointments- John J. McHenry has been appointed Post master at Berwick in this county in tbe place of (lev. I. Bahl resigned. Tbe appointment ia a fit ooe, and will proTe entirely aatialac lory to lb* community interested. Mr. J. Klinetob has been appointed Post tnaster at Foundryville. Mf*. widow of tbe late Post m aster at Light Skeet, has been i M n , i bis plaoe. Tbe Liquor neatness. In this county there are the following es tablishments engaged in the sale of liquor: 32 taverns paying $25 license, SBOO 00 3 do do SSO do 150 00 6 stores paying SSO license, 300 00 8 beer-housea, $25 do 200 00 3 distilleries paying SSO license, 150 00 1 brewery, 60 00 Tolal revenue, $1650 oo DROWSED —This (Tuesday) morning a young man, Thomas Ale, living in Mount pleaeant township with bis brother Samuel Ale, waa drowned in Fishingcreek near the dam of tbe Blootnaburg Railroad Iron Co.— He bad been in a boat with two other men, who escaped from it when tbey found it would go over the dam. Being unable to swim he waa carried over the dam and drowned. The people are now engaged in searching for bis body. FOUND DEAD.—On the 22d nit., Jamas Can non, commonly called "Scotty," was found dead in the barn of Sebastian Seyberl, in Salem, Lnzeme oounty. For a day or two previous ba bad been afflicted with delirium tremens. West Branch insarance Company. Every new corporation, like every new po litical party, proleaaea to be free from all Ibe fault* and imperfections of the old establish- Bents, but generally proves a greater trans gressor tban any of them have been. So at least it seems the West Brach Insnr.nce Company proves. There were some objec tionable things about the old Lycoming Com pany, and this new institution was to do bu siness fair and square. But in less than a year from the time that insurances were made in this vicinity, a higher assessment is called for than ever the Lycoming Company laid. We find in the Berwick Gazelle a card from B. F. Foulke, who has been acting agent for the new Company, and who seems indisposed to whitewash their performance. He says: "In justice to those whom I have insured in the West Branch Insurance Company, at Lock Haven, and in jushee to myself, I would say, that any representations made to them, so inducing them to become members of that Company, were made in an honest belief of their correctness. When I took the agency, I had the explicit and determined avowal of the General Agent that 'here would be no assessments for at least three years to come—that there was a surplus of money or. hand—and that, in case there should be any assessments, the Company were restricted to three per cent, on the premium note, in their charter. I had not then, nor during tbe time I acted as agent, .uade it my business, as 1 should have done, to .xnske the necessary inquiries in regard to the correctness of these statements, thinking tbq General Agent could 1 hav9 no advantage, and the Company gain no enviable reputation by deceiving those whom they Sought to insnre. A few days since, these illusions were dis pelled. Instead of a three per cent, assess ment, it is Jive per cent, on the premium notes in force before the 10th of May inst. And, in looking at their charter, I find that there is j no restriction by law, but that they can lay | an assessment to any amount—cot exceeding the premium note itself. Sectioc XV of their By-Laws, compels the "Secretary to give notice of loss, by publication, in one of tbe newspapers of Clinton county, said notice must be given two weeks successively, the last publication of which shall not be less than two weeks prior to the lime fixed for the payment of said assessment, and tbe Diroctors may give notice of assessment in such other ways as they may deem proper." Now, whether this notice tins been given or not, 1 am unable to ray, but I do say every man whom I insured has a right to know, and should know lor what he is paying an enotmous assessment. If the Company have actually sustained heavy losses—of which there is no evidence with me, and I have written to Hon. | J. J. Pearce making inquiry*' for each loss, to which 1 received no answer—the members are bounu, and I presume willing to meet this assessment promptly. And if no evidence ol loss is furnisher.' ihem, 1 caution them no*, to | pay the assessiner' < l, as there is no law to compel their doing s6< They have a right to know for what they art paying their money. 1 have been deceived,and through me those whom I have insured, a.nd f have taken this method of saying how far I at.** to blsme in making the representations I df'L I have never made it a practice to lie for in any transaction—much less will I d'.i so knowingly for a Corporation, and 'therefore my agency and connection as such, with the West Branch Insurance Company, ceases from Ibis date. B. F. FOULKE, Agent. May 14th, 1857. The Washington illytery. The Easton Sentinel, in noticing the fait of another victim to the myvterioue and fatal diaease which had its origin at the National Hotel, at Washington, a few weeks previous to the inauguration of President Buchanan, says: " When we look'around us and see and hear of good and great men, (principally of the Democratic parly) falling on every band, from the effects of a malady that baf fles the skill of all physicians, we cannot but recall to mind the resolutions read by the no torious Fred Douglass at a Republican Meet ing at Syracuse, N. Y., last summer: Resolved, That since the traffickers in the bodies and souls of men have resolved upon the endless enslavement of their victims, and with diabolical meanness and wickedness have deprived them of all power to procure arms, with whioh to win their freedom in an open and honorable manner, the slave is jus tifiable in the use of any and every seerel pro teas for destroying the lift of the oppressor, by which he can reasonably hope to secure bis freedom. Resolved, That the slaveholder should be made to dream of death in his sleep, and to apprehend death at his dish and tea-pot: POISON should meet him at his table, and the Silent An gel oj Death should everywhere be invoked to affright bim in the midst of his murderous slave-holding revelry.

Tlie eminent leader of the New Yotk De mocracy ia at preaent in ihia city aaya the Washington " Siaiea." He baa been absent aix years from the scene, in the foreground of which hia manly virtues and Democratic integrity stand prominent in connection with some of the moat important political and na tional questions and movements of our time. Coming here in a private capacity, bia hotel has been visited by numerous public gentle men, anxious to pay the unbending Demo cratic citizen the debt of intellectual gratitude which must remain due for all time to the stability and eloquence of the Senator. The Baity News of New York, alluding to Mr. Dickinson's advent in Washington, makes these clear and appreciative reference to his career: " For six years now, Mr. Dickinson has remained in quiet retirement Irora public life, respectfully but firmly resisting all at- I tenons to draw him thence. Tbe highest honor his country could bestow has been offered him in vtm ; it could not shake thai fidelity to friendship, which, with such a man, is dearer than fame, or life itself. The most lucrative appointment under has been tendered him, only to be promptly declined : no compensation could draw him from a retirement he loved, if it must alienate him from friends whose cause had long been his-own. His repeated acts of personal dis interestedness, and lbs uniform evideooes of devoledness to principle which Mr. Dickin son has exhibited throughout a long, and nut unsuccessful, public career, add to the claims which he has upon the affections of the De mocracy as a champion of our cause, and make us love him as a man, while we respect and admire him as a statesman. "Mr. Dickinson revisits the scenes of his former distinguished labors, at this time, merely, as we understand, npon private bu siness. But it cannot be without emotion, tbat one who has played so active a part in the busy scenes of public service for yesrs, shell look upon the theatre of his aotions.— What busy memories must crowd upon such a review. I a the old Senate chamber, where he so eloquently and ardently supported the annexation of Texas; where he sustained with voice and vote the glorious war with Mexico ; where he advocated the early ad mission of California; where he assisted so prominently in flaming and perfecting the (he compromise measurss which quieted and calmed the distracted nation; where he sat the peer and comrade, nay the companion and beloved friend, of Clay, and Calhoun and Webster—years ago: in the White House, where he was the counsellor of Folk, and in no small degree, of Tyler and Fillmore, too: in the Departments, ia tbe public offices, in the hotels, in tbe social circles of Washington, how many changes there must be to mark ; how many old friends to miss, and how ma ny new faces to greet! For political life is short, and six years in Washington is a cen tury of political existence. ****** | " Mr. Dickinson was the laat Democratic Senator from tbe State of New York, and it must probably be several years before wo can send another who will raise his voice in the Senate manfully and patriotically (as he al ways did) on bh*l/ ol tha Union and the Con stitution, and in deliberate defiance of fanat icism and faction. As one who baa suffered under tbe extreme of denunciation for pursu ing such a course—who fulfilled his duly he roically unto the end, fearless of consequen ces, an d whoso reward (yet wo truat to d>e fully accorded- to him) can never be, let it take what shape it may, too great for the des ert of hia inestimable public services, be fills in the hearts ol thff Democracy of New York a place second to ncrue, and to have attained wbich ia, of itself, worfby of tbe ambition of a lifetime." . ' The Kansas-Nebraska Bilk The following article, which we copy from the Easton Sentinel, is entitled to a careful consideration. The views expressed are those of one of the soundest constitutional lawyers of the Slate, and are presented in such a plain, brief manner, as to be readily understood. "The Constitution of the United Stales, Art. 6, Seo. 2, declares that 'this Constitution and the laws of the United States, which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made or t vhich shall be made, under the authority of the United States shall be the supreme law of the land, and (he jadges in every slate shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any Slate to the contrary notwithstanding." Slavery existed in Louiaiana when it was a French and whan it was a Spanish Colony. On the 30th dsy of\April, 1803, a treaty waa made between Frksce and the United Stales, ceding the Terntory of Louisiana to 1 the latter, the third ariioleof wbiob is in tbe following words: "ART. 3.—Tba inhabitants of the ceded Territory shall be incorporated into tbe Union of the United States, and admitted as soon ■ possible, according to tbe prin ciples of the Federal Constitution, lo tba enjoyment of all the rights, advantages and immunities of citizey 0 f ,he United Slates, and, in tbe meantim* they shall be main tained and protected in free enjoyment of their liberty, properly a*! ,h 9 religion which they profess." The Territory of Lonista** embraced all the territory now included ( h e Slate of Louiaiana, Arkansas, and i 0W8) and tbe territories of Kansas, 'Kjbraska and Minnesota. So long any portion 0 f ,hi ( t er . ritory remained territory and hW not been erected into a State, Congress cook pasl Q0 law, abolishing slavery in such iStiiiory— ' tbey bad no jurisdiction of the subje& When any portion of that Territory WB s ereotad into a State, State so came a municipal governmeal, and banL jurisdiction of the subject, could abolish Slat very, if tbey chose; bnt no oihar power bad any right so lo do. It therefore follows, that the celebrated Kansas and Nebraska Bill, as it ia called, in which Congress refused to enaot any provis ion in relation to Slavery, either to establish it or ebolieh it, aed repealing so much of the Missouri Compromise as professed to legis late upon the subject by Congress was io strict conformity to the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, and tbe Treaty of Cession made with France."

I From all quarters of the West we have re ports of the continued speculations in Lands. A letter in the last Dubuque Herald, writtsn from ths Osage land office, lowa, says that there are about two thousand persons in at tendance on ths land sales, and that great competition exists between epecnlators and the settlers. This competition had been car ried to bidding 8101 per sere for the wild land. The settlers had held a meeting, and organized themselves into a olnb numbering seven hundred, and had determined that ev ery settler should have the privilege of bid ding off a quarter section of land, in addition to one quarter covered by pre emption, a government price. Attempts were made to settle all difficulties on Ibis basis by the set tlers furnishing names of persons who were bidders; but this haif not been done up to the time the informant left. With such acoounts as these, we would hardly thiok those capi talists who have been furnishing large amount of money to keep tbia wild specu lation alive, seduced it by the tempting offer of large rates of interests, would care to continue the supply longer. That these spec ulations are destined to come to an end sooo, we think no rational, thinking man can doubt; and when tbe end does come, look out for suoh a crash in credit, and snoh a (nmble in tbe piles of land—all lands, not only thotfe in lbs West, bat those here at lbs East—as has seldom before been experienc ed. • STATEJIENATX —The places of the follow ing Senators will be vacant and mutt be sup plied at the general eleotion in October: Vvid Taggajl, Opposition; Northumberland JR\M.

THI GRAIN PROSPECT —The croaking about short crops and the grein being winter killed, his, under the influence of seasonable show ers and warm sunshine, given place to more favorable reports of the growing graiu. In Illinois, wtere everything was ruined t month or so ago, there is the promise of an excel lent crop. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Ken tucky, there will be a larger crop of wheat harvested the coming harvest than ever be fore. In Tennessee there is a very large crop. In the South, with the exception of Virginia, where the orop is poor, there is an excellent promise, and the indications are that both the cereal and fruit crops of the country will be most aoundant. In Dela ware there will be groat pieacb crops ibis 1 season. TH N. V. HERALD AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.— Last tail the New York Herald la bored zealously to bring the Republican party into power. But the corruption of that parly b disgusted even the Herald, which gives utleisnce to the following no doubt well con sidered opinion: "One praise is certainly due to the Repob licatts of this State. They are without ques tion the most corrupt set of politicians we ev er bad. We had a good many corrupt par ties and party leaders in ibis State; but a party so ready to sacrifice every consideration of public welfare and abstract justice (6 pri vate gain as these Republicans, we never had before, and we do most earnestly hope we shall never have again." LANDLORD'S DUTlES— Before announcing the licences granted by the Court on Wed nesday momiog, says the Harrisburg Daily Telegraph, Judge Pearson proceeded to make some preparatory remarks, explaining the duties of landlords. He stated that they were bound to accommodate all persons who asked for it, so long as they bad room ; that it made no difference if the applicant was a person of mistrustful appearance—taverns were regard ed by the law as places for the accommoda tion of travelers, and their proprietors had no right to tarn any away, no matter whether they thought them able to pay for their lodg ings or not. His Honor said that this was clearly the object of the law, and no license would hereafter be granted where it waß known that this part of the landlord's duty had not been complied with. These remarks created no little excitement among the tavern keepers present, many of wLom expressed themselves in objectionable terms against the view taken by the Judge. If this be the true intent of (he law—and it doubtless is—there has been a wide diversion of it heretofore. MANUFACTURING IN THE SOUTH.—A letter from one of the upper countries of Georgia gives a most flattering account of cotton man* i- ik 4 Cuu MpHy o( ih*>* lories were established some years since, and even at the present high prices of the staple, are paying the stockholders handsome divi dends, seldom, if ever, falling below twenty per cent. The yarns and osnaburga are of the first quality, and a better description of cotton being used in their manufacture, they find a more ready sale in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, than smaller products of Eastern mills. Wiih fuel, right in the midst of the cotton-growing region, illimitable water power, and the most agreeable and healthful climate in the world, there is no reason why the Southern States should not be filled with the most flourishing manufactories of this kind.— Natchez Courier. A GROSS FALSEHOOD.—The Harrisburg Tel egraph intimates that Gen. Packer has some private interest in the Sunbary and Erie Rail road, and links bim with those who are urg ing the passage of the bill for the assistance of the project. The Telegraph either knows nothing about the matter, or else it utteis a deliberate falsehood. Gen. Packer has no such interest, and never bad. Here, where the road ia popular, it is fashionable to charge him with indiflerenoe towards it, and some go so far aB to allege hostility to it. The fact that the people of Williamsport are interested in the Elmira road gives coloring to the latter oharges, and they have been industriously used for yesrs to injure Gen. Packer. In view of this fact, the unwarranted charges of the Telegraph is peculiarly mean—a first rate malignant lie.— Clinton Co. Democrat.. DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S FEES ENLARGED.—A bill has passed the Legislature to enlarge the fees of the District Attorneys throughout the State. The fees for drawing an indioiment and proeeeuiing offences in (he Oyer and Terminer, which was 84, is now 810; a bill in the same Court returned "ignoramus," which formerly cost the county 83, will now oost 86; indictments and prosecutions in the Quarter Sessions, formerly 83, are now 85; a bill "igooramused" in the Court, formerly 81 60, is now S3; a case settled by leave of Court, formerly SI 50 is now 83 ; every sfase pf surety of the peace, formerly 81 50 is now *■ -It DEATH CAUSED BT INTEMPERANCE.—A wo man named Alice McDonald died suddenly at the bouse of James Hinegen in VVilkes barre on Saturday morning last.

ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA. ORE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE. New YORK, May 28.—The Caaard mail ■teamihip Arabia arrived thia evening, wiih Liverpool dales to the 16th insi. Lord PalmarstoQ baa introduced a bill into Parliament to amend the oath taken by mem bers. The amendment consists in omitting the words, "on the trne faith of a Christian," the effect of wbioh will be, that Jewish members can subscribe to the oath, and Ihns be placed on the same fooling with other members. The Spanish Armada, destined for Vera Cruz, has not led Cadiz. The Mexican Ambassador bad an inter view on the 14th inst., with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, at Madrid. Spain will send a special envoy to China, to secure a share in any new commercial arrangements. Eapartero has resigned his seat as Senator. The Madrid correspondents stats that the King was discovered to be in a oonspiracy to delhrone the Queen, and is threatened with trial for treason. The King of Prussia has sent a favorable reply to Napoleon's letter respecting Nenl chatel. The affair is now supposed to be settled. A Russian expedition is now fitting out at Cronstadi, to convey a special envoy to Chi na. A son has been born to the Emperor and Empress of Russia. The papers furnish dates from Hong to March 30th. Nothing of importance had transpired since the departure of the previous overland mail. Lord Elgin, the British Plenipotentiary to China, proceeded without delay from Alex andria to Seuz, where he found a steamer awating to convey him to Singapore, where he was to await the arrival of the French- Commissioner. The London Morning Post authoritatively contradicts the rumor of the intended resigna tion of Lord Panmure. The Sardinian Government intends send ing two vessels of war to China. The F.mperorand Empress of Austria had been received very coo'ly by the Hungarians at Pestb. CF A proposition was before the Pennsyl vania Legislature for the establishment of Normal Schools for the instruotion and quali fication of Teachers for the duties of their professions. A bill for that purpose, dividing the State into twelve Normal School districts, has passed the Senate by a uaanimous vote. The schools are to possess the following re quisites : Au area of ground of not less than ten acres, the necessary buildings to contain a Hall of sufficient size to comfortably seat one thousand persons, lodging rooms and refectories for the accommodation of at least three hundred students.
