ICTTIto whole question of slavery is to
bo up before the Supreme Court at Wash
ington this winter, in this way :—An edi
tor of the name of Booth, io the State of
Wisconsin, was brought before a United
States Commissioner on the charge of
rescuing a fugitive Flaw) from the United
States Marshal, and discharged on habeas
corpus .; iiy, Al State Court. He was after
wards indicted and tried, and convicted in
the United States District Court, and then
again discharged, on habeas corpus, by tho
Supreme Cour Thus the whole ques- i
k rsalst
tion of the legal o ation at / slavery, the
constitutionality of the ' %Rive Slave Law,
sod the right of a State Until to interpose
in such case by habeas corpus or otherwise,
will come up in two separate cases, to be
determined by the Supreme Court of the
United States.
SkirLast week Anthony E. Drane, keep
er of the State Arsenal, at Harrisburg, was
arrested by officer Young on a warrant
charging him with taking State arms front
the Arsenal, without authority, with a
view of 'disposing of the same—in short of
with larceny. After a hearing before jus
tice Snyder he was committed in dafault
of bail which we understand was fixed at
82500. Six boxes of the missing arms
were found at an establishment in Now
York, being intended, as .was supposed,
for the fliebustars who throng that city.—
It is rumored that other parties ore.itnpli
cated,
including several members of du.
last Legislature, and that startling devel
opments may hereafter be expected.
'The choice of a candidate for the
Prosidaney by the Cincinnati Convention,
seems to be narrowing down to a contest
between 13tYcitANAN and PIEROE. Within
the last week Gen. CASH has intimated. in
express terms, that he will not be a candi
date. The Chicago Times, speaking "by
authority." says the same for Senator
Douglass. Gov. Wise, we also see it sta
ted, has written letters to his friends. de
clining to be a candidate, and urging Mr.
Buchanan, as his choice. }'resident Pierce
still holds on, out his chances for a renom•
ination are scarcely better than wer6 those
of John Tyler when he determined to try
a second heat. BuchaDan evidently has
the best chance. unless some new Dame be
sprung. Should our American friends sue.
ceod in harmonizing upon a good candidate,
it will matter little whom the Opposition
may select. In a fair field Sam" will
distance all competitors.
OA Kansas Emigration Society has
been fornied at Gainesville, Miss., at a
public meeting there, which adopted reso

for what they have done in Kansas. The
object of the society, as stated by the reso

in this State. Of the nature, character,
and extent of the secret political society,
which animates the rancor of our °ppm.
news and villiliors, the Harrisburg Tole
-graph thus speaks :
"MOST MIX ORDER OF JF.SIIS.—It is
a most singular fact, while politicians and
partizan editors are hurling their anathe
mas at the order of "Know Nothing," de
nouncing all purely American organize
Lions as secret bands of conspirators against
the rights and liberties of the Arnerioati
people, they are silent as the grave with re
gard to another secret order which prevails
in this land to an extent which appals all
who know how far it runs. and which is
sugggestivo of revolvers and bowie knives.
We allude to the Most Holy Order of Je
-511:4, commonly known as Jesuists, secret
organizations of Roman Catholics. the
members of which are sworn to wage a
war of extermination against the Protest
ant religion, and to' spread the suprema
cy and promote the interests, assumptions
and pa-mentions of the Pope of Rome, in
this country, by all means, good or bad, at
their command. This, secret association
prevails to an extent that few men dronm
of, but its members. The "hole town of
Harrisburg has recently been excited about
no imaginary order of "Know Nothings,"
raid to be composed of Americans and Pro
testants, whose object is the preservation
of the Bible, the perpetuation of their re
ligion, and protection against the encroach
inentsvf the Papal power. And this A
merican orgnnization has born denounced
by leading -Democratic editors as "secret
bands of conspirators against the rights
and liberties' of the American people."
while their lips are hermitically sealed
with regard to a secret organization of
which the Pope is the groat head, and the
members of which aknowledge allegiance
to no power on earth save the Pope of
Rome.
The Jesuit is here, there and every
where, with his breath of poison and his
touch of death. Crafty, mean, treacher
ous and devilish, there is no deed that is
too atrocious for him to undertake for the
advancement of the Papal power and the
overthrow of the civil and religious insti
tutions of this country. He conspires ev
erywhere for the downfall of the liberty of
the people—ho is ever the same infamous
character—the same at Rome, at Harris.

FROM EUROPE.—The last steamer
,brings no intelligence of moment, as to the
War, except re-iterated assertions in regard
to peace negotiations said to be actively
on foot. No change has taken place in
the positions of either army in the Crimea.
A Washington correspondent of the Now
York Tribune professes to have "good
authority" for asserting that the Adminis
tration has received official advices from
Europe to the effect that Austria has sub
mitted an ultimatum to France and Eng
land, which they can accept, and substan
tially have accepted. It is based on the
celebrated Four Points, and inclines to
the Western interpretation of them.—
Austria engages now to present it to Rus
sia, and stands pledged to the Allies, as a
condition precedent of their assent to it,
that, if Russia rejects it, then she is to
declare war and, make common cause with
the Allies.
BIBLE BURNING —A great excite

Ireland, by a most revolting and atrocious
scene enacted by gm "Redemptonist Fath

mass and preachhig in the chapel of that

large pile of Bibles,

ordered . thcir audiences td collect for. the

of Bibles, but not exclusively—the orders
of the Redemptiooists haVing been for the

Secret Political Societies.
110 1 . More than once have we pointed to
the glaring inconsistency of those one-sided
journalists, who outraged decency in their
abuse'of the aeoresy of the American or
ganization, and at the same time were the
obsequitus minions or involuntary tools
of a secret political society, whose ascer
tained policy is hostility to Republican
forms of government and whose designs
are the the more dangerous, because they
are screened under the garb of Religion.—
More than once have we directly charged,
and sustained the charge by direct proofs,
that the Papal and Foreign coalition, mask.

n' The Sheriffs of York county, before the
division of York and Adams, (from 1749 to
1800,) were: Hans Hamilton, John Adluta,
Thomas Hamilton, Zechariah Shugard, Peter
Shugard, Robert McPherson, David McCon
aughy, George Riche!berm, Samuel Edie,
Charles Lukens, Wm. Rowan, Henry Miller,
Wm. Bailey, John F,die, Conreb Laub, God
frey Lenhirt, Wm. McClellan, and Nicholas
Gelwicks. The bones of many of these rest,
as they resided, within the limits of Adams
county. The remains of Mr. McConaughy are
now in Ever Green Cemetery, with those of
a number of descendants. •
[At the time the first election was held for
Sheriff of the s county, (1749,) York must have
been considerably "in the woods ;" for we read
in a history of those days, that a quarrel oc
curring between the friends of the opposing
candidates, Hamilton and McAllister, "a large
quantity of saplings near the house (in the cen
tre of the town) wore soon torn and cut from
the ground to be used as weapons of offence
and defence." York was then the only place
of voting in the county. Just think of going
all the way from our South Mountain to that
place for a vote ! But they didn't stand on
such trifles in old times.]

An American Party In 1799.
The Virginia Legislature seems to have
been in council in 1799. and to have Ppok

there was anfficient ground to apprehend
danger to our institutions, from the pres

nation s what would they now think ?
Is it any wonder, (says the Mnihle
News.) that years after. Jefferson should
express himself as well nigh wishing. sea

World, when :already, in 1799,the

lature I We hear frequent ;reference to
the resolutions of 1798 and 1799. Should
not the following. comprehensive and lac
onic as it is, and adopted by the same
Legislature, be also deserving of some re
gard :
VIRGINIA ON FORRIGNINN IN 1799.-
The following was adopted by the same
Virginia Legislature which passed the
celebrated Virginia resolutions of 1798.
and the report ofl799—the great platform
of (he Southern Rights party. 'These
resolutions passed December 24, 1799,
and the-following twenty-six days after :
"Preamble and Resolutions passed by the
Legislature of Virginia, on the 16th day
of January, 1799."
"That the General Assembly, neverthe
less, concurring in the opinion with the
Legislature of Massachusetts, that every
constitutional barrier should he opposed
to the introduction of foreigners into our
National Council: ..
"Resolved, That the Constitution ought
to be so amended that no foreigner who
shall not have acquired rights under the
Constitution and laws at the time of mak
ing'this amedment, shall not thereafter be
eligible to the office of Senator or Repre

States, nor to any office in the Judiciary
or Executive Department.
" Agreed to j)y the Senate, January 16,
1799." •
Thus spoke the "Mother of the
States" upon one of the great principles
of the American party, viz: That foreign
ers should not be permitted either to frame
our laws or administer the same. They
are entitled to all the priveleges of-Amer- \

lin,Jefferson Luther, Cromwell and Jackson.—
Their powerful intellects compelled the world to
admire them.
The genius of the present age is DiseovenT.
In the progress of the arts and sciences, this
is immeasurably superior to any former one.—
The pre 4ent century stands preeminent for its
wooderfadiscoveries in the sciences and arts.
Among these, the noble science of Medicine has
made great progress. Paoressort HOLLOWAY
has discovered and prepared a remedy for the
diseases of man in whatever clime destiny may
have given him birth. We have, in a former
article, introduced to our readers this distin
guished physician, whose reputation is already
engrafted on the world's history. As a physi
cian, he has copied Nature, and among physi
cinns he stands the acknowledged Emperor.—
Both in the sales of his medicines, and in the
number of patients that have taken them ,he is
unrivalled. Professor Holloway has labored
to supply the human firmily with a permanent
remedy tier their' diseases. to which the afflicted
inay have recourse with a moral certainty brat
they will be cured. There is no disease to
which they will nut affonl relief. His Pills and
Ointment, prepared front selections from the
vegitable kingdom, with great care, will drive
disease out of the system. Thousands of the
most intelligent minds of all nations, men dis
tinguished in every sphere of life—the states.
man, philanthropist, cowl uerer, and those whose
highest aim is to do good to their fellow men,
unite iu their praises of the remedies discovered
by Professor Holloway'for the removal of dis
ease.
In uniting in this general recommendation
of the remarkable virtues of Holloway's reme
dies we only perform a Christian duty, which
the press should never neglect. Those who
-are eminent for the good they do in the world.
have a just claim upon the press for aid in ex.
tending the good to the extent of their power.
Therefore, we have determined to express our
opinion that HottowAr's•l'mtsand OINTMENT
are adapted tothe removal of disease, and have
restored millions of the sick to health.—Nete

were completely gone, his chest, and in fact his
body ge ‘ nerally, had scarcely an atom of flesh
on it, so thin had he become. In addition to
this, he had a cough which completely shook
