or to the other, and you will find it notic

till* are remembered too as well as ob
weed.
'''Under this close surveillance, where is
the danger that the system will work un
jeedy or unequally, and that a judge will
."tgiett !Assails to catch the popular breeze."
Why. air, he would be adopting the surest
mode of rendering himself obnoxious and
unpopular and overleaping his own high
faulting ambition. What says history
and trt,eittrience I Look at the universal
bgiahtpendation bestowed in all ages by all
*anon the conduct of the elder Brutus,
thin virtuons and inflexible judge, who did
not hesitate to pronounce the judgment of
She law upon offenders, although they
wire his own sons—the children of his
Idie—Lthe objects of his heart's dearest af
reetthmuf Is not this evidence that the
popular heart will always be with those
who"firmly, faithfully, inflexibly maintain
justice and administer the law in its purity
saithout fear, favor or affection ?
.I say then, that it is safe to trust the
people. I say it, not in the spirit of cring
ing sycophancy, but because I rerilly be
lieve it. That public functionary whose
sole rule of action is to do right according
to his conscience, regardless of consequen
ces-10M has that force of character that
will enable him to rise above the prejudi-
COI and scorn to pander to the passions of
others, need not fear that he will not be
sustained. This is the teaching of expo-
Hence; it will not he lost on that refuted
and calculating self-interest that ordinarly
sways those who have a lust for office ; and
that Mr. Speaker seems to be an epidemic
universally prevalent.
Hut, we are told that even if a judge e-1
leered by the .people, is able to rise above
tat horrapt motives and influences, he will
etfli be suspected of undue bias, and his de-
Chions will thus be wanting in the essen
tial element of public confidence. Sir, al
low me to repeat that the best way to ac-
Ore . pubhe confidence is to . deserve it,
mid the gentleman from Huntingdon is a
living proof of this ; for he was a member
of the Legislature of 1849 and has been
returned to this, as lie told us himself, fly
an increased majority,
But did these who so much fear that
improper influence may control the elec
tion of a judge by the people, never hear
of like influences determining the selee ,
tion by the Governor ? Have they confi
dence alone in the Executive and distrust.
only, in the people ? Why, Sir, it is a
matter of notoriety that men have waded
up to their knees through the "mire and
filth of party politics," of which the gentle
man from Huntingdon spoke so feelingly,
to reach the portals of executive favor.—
Did the gentleman never hear of objects of
servility and cringing sycophancy bowing
the "pregnant hinges of the knee" to the
dispenser of office, and growing great by
fawning I Did he never hear of political
bargains covered by the judicial ermine?
And did he never see the purity of this
ermine sullied by that convenient pliancy
that makes office the price of principle,
and sacrafices honor at the shrine of
interest 1 if he has not, I could point
him to many such. A man, let tee rather
say au =crapulous knave would labor
long end vainly to corrupt the twenty
thousand electors of a judicial district; but,
let him come as a cringing slave, and gro.
vet *the dust at the feet of a Governor
or hie minions—let him corneas a vile
renegade bartering his opinions for office.
osternetiously parade his abnegation of
principle before the eyes of his associates
and peradventure he may receive the price
of his infamy by a seat on the judicial
bench that ought never to be thus approach
ed! Why, sir, to bear gentlemen talk.
one would suppose they regarded the
Executive here, as in England, as the
fountain of justice; and his power of tip
piiintment as the very Palladiam of pop
ular rights, and of purity in the admin
istration of the law ! It is not so. The
theory of our government should be in har
mony with its practice. It is founded on ,
the firm basis of natural justice and etc! , !
nil truth, and is neither more or less than
this; that all political power is derived
from the people, to be exercised .for their
own benefit, and deriving all its just pow
ers from the consent of the governed.—
Sir, the light of education has dawned up
on our people. It has gone forth to light
up the depths. ocevery vally and be reflect.
ed in
,dazzling effulgence, from the summits
of every hill and mountain in Pennsylvan
ia. It is now safe to trust the people with
themselves. I trust it will be daily becom
ing more so. An enlightened, intelligent,
educated people cannot long be led by pol
iticians or deceived by demagogues ; and
it is no longer as easy as it once was, for
selfish, scheming, unscrupulous men to
sway the , people of this glorious Old Com
monsrealth, by the low arts and fraudful
appliances, which I admit, were once sue
oesefully practiced, and the effects of which
my friend from Huntingdon so greatly ap-
Prebends and so feelingly deplores. No,
air, the men who would go before the in-
WOO= yeomanry of Pennsylvania to ask
them to elect him a judge, must come with
clean bands and a pure heart—if not, he
might pass through the ordeal of a court
with Mum or Ithadautantlius for his jud
ges; but he can never stand up for a mo-
Wet in the Areopagus of the people.
Speaker, let me say in conclusion,
that li trust this amendment as it has come

SLY, Esq , before the Supreme Cora of the 7.
:Antes, at the time that tribunal Jeliveied the un
fortunate decision which het sines led to so meek
bitter criminstion and reweriesinedon between the
States, may not be out of plate in this connection.
Mr. Hen lett appeared as the Attorney alba Cote
monwealth of Pennsylvania, and butambating the
right of the Sleveettolder to mums, end easy off

remarked— -
"The same power." says Me. Heath
"that can upon simple allegation vein and
carry off a slave, can on the allegation of
service due, seize and carry offs free man.
There is no power if neither Congress nor
the State can legislate to dispute the tine*.
tion with the seizing party.
non-slaveholdingStates the presum
ption is, that every man is a free man
until the contrary be proved. It is like
every other legal presunption, in favor of
the right. Every man is presumed inno
cent until proved guilty. Every defen
dant against whom an action of debt is
brought is presumed not to owe until the
debt be proved. Now in a stave holding
State color always raises a presumption of
slavery, which is directly contrary to the
presumption in a free or non-slaveholding
State, for in the latter as I said before, prima
facie. every man is a free man. If, then, un
der this most monstrous assumption of pow
er a free man may be seized, where is our
boasted freedom f What says the fourth
article of the amendments to the Constitu
tion of the U. States f—" The right of the
people to be secure in their persons, hous
es, papers and effects against unreasonable
searches and seizures, shall not be viola
ted." Art. 5. No person shall be—
deprived of life, liberty or property, with
out due process of the law.
"But here I am met with the remark that
"slaves are no parties to the Constitution,"
that "we the people" does not embrace
them. I admit that most most cheerfully,
but I am not arguing the want of power to
"claim" and take a slave, but to claim and
take afres man! Admit the fact that he
iv a slave, and you admit away the whole
question. Pennsylvania says : Instead
of preventing you from taking your slaves.
we desire you should have them; they
are a population we do not covet, and
all our legislation tends toward giving ev
ery facility to get them ; but we do claim
the right of legislating upon this subject so
to bring you under legal restraint which
will prevent you from taking a free man.
If one can arrest and carry away a free
man"without due process of the law"—if
their persons are nut inviolate, your Con
stitution is a waxen tablet, a writing in
the sand ; and instead of being, as is sup
posed, the freest country on earth, this is
the vilest despotism that can be imagined
In behalf of the State I here represent,
which not only professes, but acts with
courtesy?nd conciliation to her sister States,
and guided by the principles of her no
ble founder, never does an act by force, be
it ever so right, if force can be avoided,
she puts herself upon her reserved rights,
and whilst she avows her willingness to
submit to Judicial decision, be it either in
accordance with, or in opposition to, her
views, yet boldly declares her determina
tion, to resist aggression upon her free
soil, no matter whether that aggressor
be aforeign foe, a Conf ederate State, or
even the Federal Head!

Apportionment Bill,in a very objectionable shape.
The district& proposed by the Bill will be found

the Whig press nn account of its manifest injus
tice, was the perfection of fairness in comparison
with this infamous attempt at Gerrymander. A
single glance at the districts will metre to show up
the glaring injustice done the W big party. Pot

great study and concern of the majority In the
present Legislature is efficiently to break down the
Administration of Gov. Jonarrop, and no means
will be spared to effect Chia end. They will fail,
however, in their miserable efforts, as the policy
now pursued, if persisted in, must inevitably recoil
on the heads of those who prompt it. We are
glad to be assured, on good authority, that supplies
or no supplies, Goy. Johnston will not be deterred
horn a firm and faithful discharge of duty, and
that, in no few, will he burden the Taxpayers of
the Commonwealth by re-eonvening the present

J. L. Scroorcasrr fora copy of Senator Ss
wstan's able argument on the Slavery question.
Mr. Seward is a bold politician, and does rutt heel
hate, like an honest man, to speak out his senti
ments, be they what they may. The argument
before as is characterised by very great ability,
tura, although occasionally rather radical in its
tendency for the conservative notions of the pre
sent times, will command attention. Gov. Se.
ward is charged with being an ambitious, aspi
ring politician. It is not, however, very charac
teristic of a demagogue, to speak out, boldly tad
faariewly, plain truth and unpopular doctrine :
and this Mr. Seward does.

on the subject. It makes the Collectors of county
rates elm collectors of school tax ; provides tot
county caper in accordance with the
suggestion of the lets Etemetary of the Common

The bill to divorce Edmund Forrest came op in

But the important motion last week was 111
apportionment Bill As the Democracy have •
majority in both Houses, it was of Coons expect
ed that this circumstance would be used to fabri
cate aMU favorable to that party. But it was
I not anticipated that they would have the pre
sumption to enact the enormity they did by pee
sing the bill they did. A more unjust, iniquitous
measure newer left the chamber of legislation—
not only with • total disregard of the rights of
the citizens of s free government, but in open via
lotion of that Constitution which we have volun
tarily chosen to govern us, and they who voted
for this bill hays sworn to regard. Fortunately
for the 38,000 citizens of this Commonwealth
who would have been entirely unrepeseoted under
this bill, one of the branches of the law-making
power is in the hauds of a man who respects the
rights of ALL the citizens of this State, and who
needs no induration of the obligation his official
oath. Impasse upon him. Gov. Mumma occu
pies the gubernatorial chair, not for the purpose
of suistaleing any particularly pasty. but to execute
* defies of his sespoordbie station justly and
witlficatartialMy. From no rata bill will he
ever withhold his emotion; bet he will Interpol*
his emelt* veto in nay and Om nisi of injus
tke. And so he has date in this batmen. He
has withheld his Nadi* Sena t6iDip, to protect
the rights of 36,000 cithans of his own State,—
The veto nresoage was seed in this morning, and
is a most triumphant expose of the unpandelloi
enormity attempted to be maimed by this bill.
The Constitution requires that the &mains and
Repiesentatine shall be apportioned "accordisqt
to the stewslisr of aro& antabitersts in sack"—
Now, by. tbi• bill, Erie county, with 8484 taxiddes,

they are Whig or Democratic respectively, it ap

is 6948, and in the Democratic counties only 4,-
498 That principle of the Constitution which
provides that no county formed since 1888 shall
have a separate Representation, without its full
ratio, is also clearly disregarded in this bill.—
Clearfield, Elk and IWKean, alltogther have but
4729 taxables, which is less than the rates fixed,
and are clearly not entitled to a member. These
are some of the grossest violations of the requisi
tion of the Constitution, that the apportionment
shell be "according to the number of taxables".—
and it would have been a violation of the require-
ments of duty and justice, not to speak of his oath
of office, if airy Executive bad permitted such a
bill to become a law. Gov. Johnston, true to the
people, vetoed it, and he will veto any other bill
like it, and ever honest man in the State will sus
tain him for it. It deserver to be mintionod, that
the House refused to print the message of the
Governor, that the people might not see the glaring
outrage of this bill. Mr. Packer has already read
another bill in place, "to apportion the State into
Senatorial and Representative districts," which
differs very little from the bill just vetoed, and if
this bill should pm, it Will meet a like fete. Goy.
Johnston asks but a fair bill, -according to the
number of taxable inhabitants" in each county--
no mattes whether the Whigs can elect but five
or ten moorhen, and it will receive his sanction—
but to none other will he ever affix his official sig.
mantra and every thinking, candid and unbiassed
mind Will sustain his course.

Werth* to the appointment of George
W. sirtir, itsq, as reporter of Out dui
sioniketthe Supreme Court, the Lancaster
Main mentions * fact so creditable in ev
ery Way to the head and heart of Gov.
Johnston. that we cannot refrain from - re-
Vital.. it is known,, at least to the
profusion of the duce, that in adtli
tioivuo thfb li eation of the two volumes
Pea*, , telt the law requited of him,
thelafere nei, Mr. 'Barr, had sect:mu
tated , ilindnelitiey of , matter to fill the
w hy, 'NW supplemental volume and
it =in of another, which be _designed
' at an early day. He died be
igunellitnemnd volume was ready for the
Poen; kalifs( his I t talilY..htlery straight
ened circumstance". As soon as Gov.
Joimattin Was made acquainted with these
facts he determined to delay the appoint
meat of . Mr. Barr's seams& until Judge
Jones (the pathless selected by the fam
ily-to superintend the completion and pub
lication of the supplemental volumes,)
could pbtain front the Court a sufficient
number of decisions to fill op the second
supplemental volume. That having been
done, Mr. Harris was appointed.
The Eirecutive deserves great credit for
hislibuntane action in this matter. Not
only Mr. Barr himself, but all his connec
tions. were the active political opponent'
of Gov. Johnston, and on the score of
pany had of counts no claims upon his
kiedness or forbearance. The delay in
filling the vacancy, for the purpose indica
ted, was therefore an act of disinterested
friendship fur the widow and fatherleu
children, which must commend the admi
ration of every one that properly appre
ciates a good action.

largest slave holders in the county, it is
stated, were among this large majority
against the Contention.• Notwithstanding
this, however, the minority immediately
organized. with Mr. Stevenson, (late min

in ejecting an objectionable person from
the United States Hotel, of which he is

use of moderate force to put him out if he

SCARLET FEVER CURED.
Astonishing Effect o r f Water Gruel.—
A poor child in William street, was ta
ken down with scarlet fever. The doctor
in attendance had been remarkably tome
easeful and determined to see why no med
icine would do ; all the cases he had beard
of this fever were fatal, and he concluded
that no medicine could be worse than his
had proved. So in this case he order
ed Water Gruel. The poor mother knew
how fatal this fever had been, and she
thought'•l will give my child Brandreth's
Pills and the Gruel." So she gave him
four Pills, which operated well. The doc
tor the next day was pleased, told the
mother the child was doing well, arid to go
on with the water gruel. Phe did--and
four more Pills. Every day the doctor
ordered gruel, and every day •the mother
gave from two to four Brandreth's Pills.—
In a little more than a week the child was
well. The doctor said that case had given
him a lesson; for the child was simply ett;.
red by gruel, whereas every other ease of
scarlet fever he had had that winter, he had
lost, when he bad pursfied active treatment.
But now he was satisfied that nature was
the best Physician, aided by, water gruel:
