sent License system, and the prohibition of the
sale of all inebriating drinks.

sudden and unexplained movements of .
Col. Fremont in the far West, and the un

abounding in precious ores, in the vast un
explored tract lying between New Mexi
co and the sierra Nevada. This exciting
doubt will probably soon be solved, for at
the last date, Col Fremont had reached the
mountains of New Mexico, and was push

cumatanoes in favor of extending the principles of
the ordinance of 1787 to the newly acquired ter
ritories.
The rinolutions ware taken up for considera
tion, when Mr. King moved 'to strike out of the
emend rsedutlon these words c " that the period
of compromises with, and concessions to the de
mands of Slavery' has passed." )Haste. King,
Konignsacher, Brawly,ttraall, Crabb, Haggis, and
Dania advocated this amendment, and Memel&
Johnson. Brooke and Sadler opposed it. • Mr.
Sadler very properly argued that if the Senate
adopted the pending amendment, it would neon
airily be construed by the South IS a recession
from our petition against the further extension of
slavery. He was unqualifiedly opposed to striking
out the first damps of the resolution.
Mr.- Danis asked pennissioo of the Senate to
make a fir w remarks. He would go as it IS any
Senator upon this door, to prohibit the extension
of slavery. But at the same time he did not wish
to exasperate the South. He did not think that
this would be an affirmative vote; if the word.
were stricken out, the resolution would be strong
enough. He was unwilling that we should array
ourselves in hostility to those whom we term the
advocates of slavery. If we could soften these
resolutions without sacrificing principle, it were
better to do so, and he would vote in favor of the
amendment.
The amendment was then adopted by a vole of
23 to 9, alter which the Resolution, were adopted
by an almost unanimous vote, there being Nit
two negative votes—Messrs. Pottiger and Orer- 1
field. .
Pr An hnportant amendment to the: bill re
chartering the Columbia Dank and Bridge Com
pany, has been adopted by the Senate--Yeas 18,
Nays 19. It is in the shape of a new section, and
reads as follows:
See. 4 And any Bank or Savings Instita
tion, that shall hereafter pay out, exchaqe
or receive, except for special deposit, or tin
payment of debts, any note, the circulation
of which is, or may hereafter be prohibi
ted by law, shall suffer the penalty of for
feiture of its charter.
SMALL NOTES—The Locufoco Legisla
ture of Virginia is about to pass a law allowing
the Banks to issue notes under *5. As Virginia
hu always been held up as the model " democrat
ic" State of the Union, we cannot see why Penn
sylvania Loeofocos should object to a similar law
in our own State. A small nuts currency- of our
own', redeemable at any moment in specie, is the
only way to rid ourselves of the foreign trash
which has for years been foisted upon us.
Gen. Taylor al Wanklegion.
(1011. TATI.OII, the President elect, arrived at
Washington, on Friday evening last, and met
with a most enthusiastic reception from the peo•
pie of the national metropolis--being the conclusion
of an almost uninterrupted popular greeting which
commenced with his departure from Baton Rouge.
He Ass met at the Relay House, where he arrived
at 5 o'clock, by an immense crowd, which had
gone out in a special train from Baltimore for that
purpose. Mrs. Taylor, the lady of the president,
and Col. MN and lady, left Baltimore on Thurs
day afternoon for Washington, and have all taken
lodgings at Wilton'', City Hotel.
The National Intelligcncer, of Tuesday says :
"Our readers will be glad to learn that
Oen. Taylor has been, by a day or two of
repose, quite restored from the effects both
of the accident which he met with on his
route hither, and of the fatigue of his long
journey ; so much so that, besides receiv
ing yesterday a large number of visitors of
both sexes, he paid a formal visit to Pres
ident Polk, by whom he was most courte
ously received, and with whom •he ex
changed the respectful greetings due from
each to the other in their respective situa
tions. We have reason to believe that
the impression made on the numerous per
sons, public and private, who called on
the general yesterday, scarcely one of
whom had ever seen him before, was high
ly favorable. The blended urbanity and
dignity of his demeanor, his kindness to
all, and the evident benevolence which
pervades all his actions, are well calculated
to win general esteem. We ourselves
were pleased to observe the alertness and
vigor which mark his movements, after so
many years of hard, anxious and wear
ing service."
The members of the existing Cabinet called
upon Gen. Taylor in the course of the day, end
were cordially received. Mr. Buchanan was in
troduced by Mr. Clayton.
THE NEW CABlNET.—Altbough the pa
pers abound with speculations in regard to the in
dividuals who are to compose the new Cabinet, no-
thing definite seems to be known, excepting that
Mr. CLATII/31 big received and accepted the ap
pointment of Secretary of Mate. Messrs RAN.

LATEST,--Letters from Washington, dated
Wednesday, state that Abbot Lawrence, of Mar
eichusetts, has been offered the choice of the Na

probably take the Ibriner6—in which case the Trea

known solely to our institutions. Tired and sick
of the spirit of selkolliciency which has marked
the aims* of President Polk—no where more man
ifiret than in his last sandal message, glorifying
himself and his administratioa—it is refteshing to
the hearts of foreseen to know by every act, sod
every word which proceeds from the lips or the
pen of the President elect, that it is his purpose to
exerciee the executive functions in the spirit of the
Constitution ; and to yield to every branch of thq
government that influence which constitutes the
very eisence of our representative system, Ihr the
enactment of wholesome laws for the general wet.
fans Looking to the example of him who was
" engin' war, first in peace, and first in the hearts
of his countrynum," and from whose course and

revery the great conservative Whig party of the

sion to Inspire his Wow-citizens with a confidence
on which they now fully rely, that the days of ex
ecutive usurpation are at an end.
Mighty as were the exertions made to perpetuate
the present rule, by a disciplined and trained baud
of office-holders, the people disowned in their ma
jesty, and seeing in every act and every document
or speech of the he hero of Buena Vista fun evi
dence of a greatness which could rise above all
personal considerations, and that modesty which
is aver the accompaniment of true worth, they

their choice unostentatiously proceed* to the seat
of government to take upon himself, distrustfully,

Every one not influenced by sinister motives,
"breathes freer and deeper" as the day approaches
that is to see the change consummated i and the
4th day of March, 1849, is destined to shine out
on the page of history as a day which replaced
the principles of the constitution, under a patriot

Difficulties la Frank'lD County.
We learn from the Chambersburg Whig, that
on Monday night last, the offices of the Treasurer
and Commissioners in the Court-house were +Pio
olently broken open by prizing of the catchia of
the locks, and the dockets were mutilated and turn,
and many of the papers scattered and destroyed
—cone new docket belonging to the Treasury in
which there had been few entries made was carried
.di altogether.
It is evident that the perpetrators of the outrage
were not in search of money, as the money left in
the office was untouched. tfuspicion having been'
fired on the last County Treasurer, between whom
and the Commissioners there was a difficulty in
the settlement of the Annual Accounts, he was ar
rested and held to bail in tr 2,000.

FRANCE.—lunnediately after the sailing
of the Niagara, intelligence was received
in England that the breach between the
Assembly and the President had witlined
into a fearful gulf. A real or sham plot
was disclosed to the French Ministry, and
for a few days Paris again assumed the ap
pearance of a beleagered city. The streets
were occupied by 80,000 men, and Gen.
Changarmer plainly intimated that the first
barricade that was attempted to be raised
would be the signal fur general slaughter.
Whether the Red Republicans were sur
prised or unprepared to cope with the ex—
tensive military arrangements concerteilit
gains% them, is unknown; but certain it is
that Paris for a few days trembled on the
verge of a new Revolution. The issue
can scarcely be doubted, as Marshal Hu
geaud was dispatched from Paris to bring
up a strong division of the Army of the.
Alps, ostensibly to command Bourges du
ring the State trials, but with no less au ob
ject than that of overawing the Red Re
publicans. In Paris the differences be
•tween the guard mobile and the army of
the line only added fuel to the flames.
which hourly grew in intensity.
The motion for getting rid of the propo
sition of M. Rateau, to dissolve the Nu
tional Assembly, was only defeated by the
narrow majority of 416 to 405. Since
that vote greater tranquility prevailed. and
once inure we have to announce that the
struggle passed ofl• without mortal strife.
Numerous arrests were, however, made.
In the National Assembly on the 26th the
Minister of the Interior announced that he
had been directed by the President of the
Republic to present a bill against the clubs.
The Assembly had already enacted severe
penalties, with a view to repress all excess
es, and remove the dangers which are so
alarming to society. Thu GMentinent or
dered a number of the clubs to be closed
in the capital and departments, and denoun
ced the offenders to the tribunals. it was
impossible that confidence could be restor
ed while the clubs were perniitted to es-
nit. They formed a State w ithm the State.
and nu free Government could allow such
an anomaly to ext.,t without endangering
its existenee.

PANAMA. January, 19, 1849.
Tolle. Saws, U.B. Consul at Panama.
Sta :—The laws of the United States
inflict the penalty of fine and imprisonment
on trespassers on the public lands. As
nothing cari be more unreasonable or un
just than the conduct pursued by persons
not citizens of the United States. who are
docking from all parts to search for and
carry of gold from the lands belonging to
the United States in California; and as
such conduct is in direct violation of law,
it will become my duty, immediately on
my arrival there, to put these laws in force,
and to prevent their infraction in future,
by punishing, with the penalties provided
by law. those who offend.
As these laws are probably not known
to many who are starting to California, it
would be well to make it publicly known
that there are such laws in existence, and
that they will be in future enforced against
all persons, not citizens of the United
States, who shall commit any trespass on
the lands of the United States in Califor
nia.
Your position as Consul here, being in
communication with our Consuls on the
coast of South America affords you the
opportunity of making this known must
generally. and I will be much obliged to
you if you will do it.

"One mig ht suppose from reading the
above, that digging For gold is very profit
able business, but there are other things
to be considered. At San Francisco, board
and lodging, three in a bed, or on the Boor,
is from $2O to SBO a week. Pork is $5O
a barrel, and butter a pound, at whole
sale. At the mines pork is $2OO a barrel.
And then the sickness; nine-tenths of all
who have gone to the mines have been ta

Boas THROAT, Coughs. Consumption,
Pains in'various part of the body, and oth
er unpleasant symptoms, are the usual ef
fects of catching cold.
Wslight's-Indian Vegetable Pills are a
delightful medicine for carrying off a cold,
because they purge from the body all mor
bid and corrupt humors in so easy and na
tural a manner, that the body is relieved
of every kind of suffering as if by magic.
From three to six of said Indian Vegetable
Pills, taken every night on going to bed,
will, in a short time, make a perfect cure
of the most obstinate cold—at the same
time the blood and other fluids will be tho
roughly purified, and the constitution so
completely invigorated, that the body will
be restored to even sounder health than be
fore.
rir Beware of couniedeitS ! Purchase from the
write only, one or more of whom will be found
in each village and town in the United States.
