STARJ)F THE NORTH? R. W. WEAVER, EDITOR. lilooinshurgy \f(dneJune 3, 157. .... , Ut— T - Democratic Nominations. FOR GOVERNOR, WILLIAM F. PAfKEII) of Lycoming County. FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER, N 1 ill It 0 D 8 Tit 1 I K L AM), of Chester County. UTAH AM) THE MUItWONS. It is very evident thai since Kansos proves barren in political capital the enemies of De mocracy are looking toward Utah for a new source of agitation. But so long as it shall stand upon Ihe records of the republic that Millard Fillmore signed the bill erecting Ulah 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 try lo abuse tho Democratic party because Brigham Young is Governor of Utah. Let them remember that Milliard Fillmore first appointed him Governor of the territory, and continued him in that position during his 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 tho citizens of Illinois could ; not live wilh them. In 1855, when Ihe I'res- i ideniial nominations became topics of con versation in Utah, Brigham Young said to j Chief Justice Kinney, in the presence of In- 1 dian Agent Hurl and United States Attorney Dolman that "if Mr. Ftllmore is renominated ' for Piesident, 1 will send a hundred elders to j the States lo electioneer for him." This ought to settle the Know-Nothing wing of the Op position. But we have a word for Ihe Republican parly. You trample upon the law of the land in the Dred Scott case, and even upon the Constitution of the republic when your Massachusetts Legislature passes a person ally liberty bill, and your co-adjulora in Bos ton attempt to rescue the fugitive slave Burns, pven shooting a United States officer in that attempt- Surely you ought not to complain if the Father of Deseret transgresses also.— He is no doubt wrong, but we can sea no difference between his offeuca and yours.— He disobeys one Jaw—you tample on an other. True, you justify by saying you liavo an! instinct which to you is a "higher law" than j statutes or courts, lint Brigham Voung also | follows his instincts, which instead of indue- j mg him to shoot a United Stales Marshall . tempt htm to indulge his Inst in a harem.— | Ilia passions are evidontly of a somewhat 1 different kind from yours, but we can see j no good reason wby lie bus less tight than you to loliow them in defiance of law. lie | pleads the example ot Solomon ana tne pa triarchs, and his iusliticis. as a "higher law" I just as you plead about your iusliticis against the fugitive slavo law. Vou refuse to respect die law of the Dred Scolt case—he refuses to obey the law prohibiting polygamy. We are unable to see tbe differance in your trans gressions; and it does not become people who live in glass bouses to throw stones. We are willing to see lirigham Young ex communicated, for we think he and his dis ciples are old offenders. But on the same principle we insist that Seward and his party shall be gored by the same bull, aud sball go over the Styx in the same boat. Yligiuiti Flection. The Virginia State elections were held last week, and resulted in a complete victory for the Democrats. Members of Congres and of tbe State Legislature were elected, and among the former we ure plonsed to find Hon. Win. Smith who did yeoman service last full in this county for the cause of the people. He will bo an able member, onjoy ir.g the intelligence and experience requisite for that position; and such a general knowl edge ol public men and public questions as will make him an honor to his district aud a uselul member to the whole republic. Appointments. John J. McHenry has been appointed l'ost master at Berwick in this county in the place of Rev. I. Bahl resigned. The appointment is a fit one, and will prove entirely satislac tory to the community interested. Mr. J. Klinetob has been appointed Post master at Fouitdryville. Mrs. Dewitt, the widow of the late Post master at Light Street, has been appointed in bis place. The Liquor Business. 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 S3O do 150 00 0 stores paying SSO license, 300 00 8 beer-houses, 525 do 200 00 3 distilleries paying SSO license, 150 00 1 brewery, 50 00 Total revenue, $1650 00 DROWSED— This (Tuesday) morning a young man, Thomas Ale, living in Mount pleasant township with his brother Samuel Ale, was drowned in Fishingereck near the dam of the Bloomsburg Railroad Iron Co.— He had been in a boat with two other men, who escaped from it when they found it would go over the dam. Being unable to awim he was carried ovei the dam and drowned. The people are now engaged in searching for bis body. FOUND DEAD —ON the 22d ULT, James Can non, commonly called "Scotty," was found dead in the hern of Sebastian Seybert, in Salem, Lotte county. For a day or tvo previous &o bed boon afflicted with dtitnum tremptt West lirancb Insurance Company. Every new corporal ion, like every new po litical parly, proteoses lo be Iree from all the faults and imperfections of the old establish ments, but generally proves a greater trans gressor than any of them have been. So at least it seems the West Uracil Insurance Company proves. There were some objec tionable things about the old Lycoming Com pany, and this new institution was to do bu siness (air and square. But in less than a year from the lime thai insurances were made in this vicinity, a higher assessment is culled for than ever the Lycoming Company laid. We find in the Hawick Gazette a card from j B. F. Foulke, who has been acting agent for j the new Company, and who seems indisposed Ito whitewash their performance. Ho says: ) "In justice io those whom I have insured j in the ll'est Branch Insurance Company, at | Lock Haven, and in justice lo myself, I | would say, that any representations made to ! them, so inducing them to become members j of that Company, were made in on honest belief of their correcniess. Wlben I took the agency, I had the explicit and determined j avowal of the General Agent that 'here would j he no assessments for at least three years lo j come—that there was a surplus of money or. I hand—and that, in case there should be any j assessments, the Company were restricted to I three per cent, on the premium note, in their } charter. I had not then, nor during the time I acied as agent, .nade it my business, as I should have done, to make the necessary inquiries in regard lo the correctness of these statements, thinking the General Agent could 1 have no advantage, and the Company gain j no enviable reputation by deceiving those | whom they sought t insure. A few days since, these illusions were dis pelled. Instead of a three per cent, assess ment, it is Jive per cent. 011 the premium notes in force before the 10th of May inst. And, in looking at their charter, 1 find that there is co restriction by law, but that they can lay | an assessment to any amount—cot exceeding the premium note itself. Section XV ol their By-Laws, compels the "Secretary lo give notice of loss, by publication, in ono of the newspapers of Clinton county, said notice must be given two weeks successively, the lust publication of which shall not be less than two weeks prior to the lime fixed for the payment of said assessment, and the Directors may give notice of assessment in such other ways as they may deem proper." Now, whether this notice has been given or not, I am unable 10 say, but I do say every man whom I insured has a right to know, and should know lor what ho is paying an enormous assessment. If ihe Company have actually sustained heavy losses—of which there is no evidence with me, and 1 have written lo Hun. J. J. Poaree making inquiry (or each loss, to which 1 received no answer—the members are bound, and I presume willing to meet this assessment promptly. And if no evidence ol loss is furnished them, 1 eoution them not to pay the assessment, as there is no law lo compel their doing so. They have a right to know for what they ure paying their money. I have been deceived,and through me those whom 1 have insured, and I have taken this method of saying how far 1 am to bUme in making the rep'esentations I did. I have never made it a practice lo lie for myself in j any transaction—much less will I do so I knowingly for a Corporation, and therefore my agency and connection as such, with the | Hat Branch Insurance Company, ceases from : this date. 15. F. FOULKE, Agent. May 1 Itlt, 1857. The Washington My.tciy, The Easton Sentinel, in noticing the fall of another victim to the mysterious and fatal disease which had its origin at the National Hotel, at Washington, a few weeks previous to the inauguration of President Buchanan, says: " When we lock around ns and see and hear of good and great men, (principally of the Democratic party) falling on every hand, from the effects of a malady that baf fles the skill of all physicians, wo cannot but recall to mind lite resolutions read by the no. torious Fred Douglass at a Republican Meet ing at Syracuse, N. Y., last summer: llcsolved , 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 tliem of all power to procure urms, with which to win their freedom in an open and honorable manner, the slave is jus tifiable in the use of any and every secret pro cess for destroying the life of the oppressor, by which he can reasonably Lope 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; rotsoN should meet him at las tabll, and the Silent An gel oj Death should everywhere be invoked to affright him in the midst of his murderous slave-holding revelry. The suspicion is a horrible one; but do not soch diabtlical threatnings as these, coup led with the otherwise unaccountable de struction of human life which followed fast upon the visit of the President elect to Wash ington, warrant the belief that the tenful mor tality which tias bad no parallel in the previ ous history of our country, was the result of a deliberate plot to kill him and those who were supposed to be in bis confidence, by poison ? 'I lie Agricultural Society Of this county will hold its next meeting on the 6th of June.

W. HENDERSHOT. Fi.Errr or PEACHES COMING.— In Delaware the peach crop bids fair to be mora abundant than it has been for many years. Daulel S. Dickinson. | The eminent leader of the New York De ! mocracy is at present in this oily says the | Washington " Stales." He has been absent ! six years Irom the scene, in the foreground of which his manly virtues and Democratic integrity stand prominent in connection with some of the most important political and na tional questions and movements of our time. Coming here in a private capacity, his hotel hos been visited by numerous public gentle men, anxious to pay the unbending Demo cratic citizen tho debt of intellectual gratitude which must remain due for all lime to the stability and eloquence of the Senator. The Daily 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 lrora public life, respectfully but/Irmly resisting all at temps to draw him thence. The highest honor his country could bestow has been offered him in vain ; il couldnoi shako that fidelity to friendship, which, wilh such a man, is dearer than tame, or life itself. The most lucrative appointment undur our government has been tendered him, only lo 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 Ihe uniform evidences of devotedness io principle which Mr. Dickin son has exhibited throughout a long, and not 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 ar.d admire him as a statesman. I "Mr. Dickinson revisits the scenes of his former distinguished labors, at this lime, merely, as we understand, upon private bu siness. But it cannot be without emotion, that one who has played so active a part in the busy scenes of public service for years, shall look upon the theatre of his actions.— What busy memories must crowd upon such a rexiew. In the old Senate chamber, where and ardently supported the annexation of Texas; where he sustained with voice and vole ihe glorious war with Mexico ; where he advocated the early ad mission of California; where ho assisted so prominently in framing and perfecting the the compromise measures which quieted and calmed the distracted nation; where he sat the peer and comrade, nay the companion and beloved Iriend, of Clay,and Calhoun and Webster —years ago: in the White House, where he was the counsellor of Polk, and in no small degree, of Tyler and Fillmore, loo: in the Departments, in Ihe publio offices, in the hotels, in the social circles of Washington, how many changes there must be lo mark ; how many old friends to miss, and how ma ny new fares lo grcol! For political life is short, and six years in Washington is a cen tury of political existence. ###### " Mr. Dickinson was the last Domocratic j Senator from the Statu New \ork, and it must probably bo several years before wo can seen another who will raise his voice in tYio Senate manfully and patriotic aUy (as he al ways did) on behalf ol the Union and the Con stitution; aud in deliberatedefiat.ee of fanat icism and faction. As one who has suffered under the extreme of denunciation for pursu ing such a course—who fulfilled his duty lie ! toically unto the end, (earless of cotiseqncn i ces, and whose reward (yet we trust to be ; fully accorded to him) can never be, lot it ' take what shape it may, too great for the des j ert of his inestimable public services, he fills ! in the beans of the Democracy of New York : a place second to none, and to have attained 1 which is, of itself, worthy of the ambition of | a lifetime." Tlic KnmmsOrbrttsKii Dill. Tim following article, which we copy from i the East on Sentinel, is entitled to a careful consideration. The views expressed are those of one of the soundest constitutional lawyers of the State, and are presented in such a plain, brief manner, as to be readily understood. "The Constitution of the United States, Art. 0, Sec. 2, declares that 'this Constitution and the laws of the United Stales, which shall he made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made or tchieh shall be made, under (he authority of the United States shall be the supreme law of the land, and the judges in ( every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. 11 Slavery existed in Louisiana when it was a French and when it wis a Spanish Colony. On the 30th day of April, 1803, a treaty was made between France and the United States, ceding the Territory of Louisiana to the latter, the third article of which is in the following words: "ART. 3 —Tho inhabitants of the ceded I Territory shall be incorporated into the 1 Union of the United States, and admitted as soon as possible, according to the prin ciples of the Federal Constitution, to the enjoyment of all the rights, advantages and immunities of citizens of the United Stales, and, in the meantime they shall be main tained and protected in the free enjoyment of their liberty, property and the religion which they profess." The Territory of Louisiana embraced all the territory now included in the State of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and lowa, and the territories of Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota. So long any portion of ibis ter ritory remained territory and had not been erected into a State, Congress could pass no law, abolishing slavery in 6uch territory— they had no jurisdiction of the subject. When any portion of that Territory was erected into a State, the Stale so erected, be came a municipal government, and having jurisdiction of the subject, could abolish Sla very, if they chose; but no other power had any right so to do. It therefore follows, that the celebrated Kansas and Nebraska Bill, as it is called, in which Congress refosed to enact any provis ion in relation to Slavery, either to establish it or ebolish it, and repealing so much of the Missouri Compromise as professed to legis late upon the subject by Congress was in strict conformity to the provisions of the Constitution of th# United States, and the 1 Treaty of Cession made with France " COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS. ■ Wo believe the following is a correct list of the County Superintendents elected by tbe triennial conventions of School Director* 011 the 4th of May, and the salaries fixed in each case.

The following is a list of some of the bills, passed by both Houses ot the Legislature chartering new banks, with the amount of the capital of each, aud also those for an in crease of capital.

From all quarters of the West we have re ports of the continued speculations in Lands. A letter in the last Dubuque Herald, written from the Osago land office, lowa, says that there are about two thousand persons in at tendance on the land sales, and,that great competition exists between speculators and the settlers. This competition had been car ried to bidding slOl per acre for the wild land. The settlers had held a meeting, and organized themselves into a club numbering seven hundred, and had determined that ov 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 this basis by the set tlers furnishing names of persons who were bidders; but this had not been done up to the time the informant left. With such accounts as these, we wonld hardly think those capi talists who have been furnishing largo amount of money to keep this 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 soon, we think no rational, thinking man can doubt: and when the end does come, look out for such a crash iti credit, and such a tumble in the'ptice of land—all lands, not only those in the West, but those here at the East—as lias seldom before been experienc ed.

I The House failed to pass the resolutions over the Governor's veto, by a vole of one hundred and forty-four yeas, to one hundred anil thirty-eight nays; not two-thirds. THE GRAIN PROSPECT. —The croaking about short crops and the grain being winter killed, has, unddr the influence of seasonable show ers and warm sunshine, given place to more favorable reports ol the growing grain. In Illinois, where everyth ing was ruined a 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 Ihe'coming harvest than ever be fore. In Teunessee there is a very large crop. In the South, with the exception of Virginia, whero the crop 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 great peach crops this season. THE N. Y. HERALD AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY Last fall the New York Herald la bored zealously to bring tiro Republican party into power. But the corruption of that parly has disgusted even the Ilcrald, which gives utterance to the following no doubt well con sidered opinion: "One praise is certainly due to the Repub licans of this State. They are without ques tion the most corrupt set of politicians we ev er had. We had a good many corrupt par ties and parly leaders in this State; but a parly so ready to sacrifice every consideration of public welfare and abstract justice to pri vate gain as these Republicans, we never had before, and we do most earnestly hope we shall never have again." LANDLORD'S DUTIES. —Before announcing ihe licences granted by the Court on Wed nesday morning, says the- Harrisburg Daily Telegraph, 4,udge Pearson proceeded to make some preparatory remarks, explaining the duties of landlords. He stated that tbey were bound to accommodate all persons who asked for it, so long as they had 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 turn 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 kite law, and no license would hereafter be granted where it was known that this part of the landlord's duty had not been complied with. Those remarks created no little excitement among the tavern keepers presept, many of wl.om expressed themselves iu objectionable terms against the view taken by the Judge. If this be the true intent of the la.v—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 ol Ueorgia gives a most flattering account of cotton man ufacturing in that State. Many of these fac tories were established 6ome years since, and even at the present high prices of the staple, are paying the stockholders handsome divi dends, seldom, il ever, falling below twenty per cent. The jams and osnaburgs 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. With 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 wh) the Southern States should not be filled with the most flourishing manufactories of this kind.— Natchez Courier. A GROSS FALSEHOOD. —Tha Harrisburg Tel egraph iniimatcs lhat Gen. Packer lias some private interest in llie Sunbury and Erie Rail road, and links him 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 utters a deliberate falsehood. Geo. Packer has no such interest, and never bad. Here, where the road is popular, it is fashionablo to charge him with indifference towards it, and some go so far as to allege hostility to it. The fact that the people of Williamsport are interested in the Elmira road gives coloring to the latter charges, and they have been industriously used for years to injure Gen, Packor. 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 indictment and prosecuting offences in the Oyer and Terminer, which was $4, is now $10; a bill in ibe same Court returned "ignoramus," which formerly cost the county $3, will now cost $6; indictments ar.d prosecutions in the Quarter Sessions, formerly S3, are now $5; a bill "ignoramused" in tho Court, formerly $1 50, is now S3 ; a case settled by leave of Court, formerly $1 60 is now S3 ; every case of surety of the peace, formerly $1 50 is now $3. DEATH CAUSED BY INTEMPERANCE. —A wo man named Alice McDonald died suddeuly at the house of James Hinegen in Wilkes barre on Saturday morning last. She was a traveling beggar, in company with one Thos. Ryan. They came to the house of Hinegen on Monday, the 18th inst., where tbey re mained until the lime of her dealh. A Cor oner's Inquest was held upon the body, and after hearing the particulars, the Jury ren dered a verdict of death, caused by intem perance. She was known to have drunk about two quarts of whiskey during the day previous to her death.

ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE, NW YORK, May 28.—T8 Cutiard mall steamship Arabia arrived this evening, with Liverpool dales to the 16ib insi. Lord l'almsrsion has intioduced a bill into Parliament to amend the oath taken by mem bers. The amendment consists in omitting the words, "on the true faith of a Christian," the effect of which will be, that Jewish members can subscribe to the oath, and thus be placed on the same footing with other members. The Spanish Armada, destined for Vera Cruz, has not left Cadiz. The Mexican Ambassador bad an inter view on the ]4ib 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. Espartero has resigned his seat as Senator. The Madrid correspondents state that the King was discovered to be in a conspiracy to dethrone the Queen, and is threatened with trial for treason. The King of Prussia has sent a favorable reply to Napoleon's letter respecting Neul chatel. The affair is now supposed to be settled. A Russian expedition is now fitting out at Cronsladt, to convey a special envoy to Chi na. A sor, has been born to the Emperor and Empress of Russia. The papers furnish dates from Hong to Marctr 30ih. 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 (wo vessels of war to China. The Fmperorsnd Empress of Austria had bocn received very coo'ly by the Hungarians at Pesllt. CP" A proposition was before the Pennsyl vania Legislature for the establishment of Normal Schools lor the instruction and quali fication of Teachers for the duties of their professions. A bill for that purpose, dividing the Slate into twelve Normal School districts, has passed the Senate by a unanimous vote. The schools are to possess the following re quisites: . An area of ground of not lees 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. Each school is to contain a library forjtbe use of students; also a philosophical apparatus, &o. The faculty is to be composed of six Proleseors of known ability and education ; the school to be under the supervision of a board of trustees.
