U. S. Senator
k -- rOn Monday last thst two branches
of the. Legislature met in joint convention
to elect a United States Senator, in place
of Mr. COOPER. Ex-Governor ,Tixor.in.
was elected on the first ballot, receiving
82 votes to 48 for Hon. H.l. Monate, a
member- of the House from Philadelphia.
The latter was the candidate of the Amer.
jean ma Republican members, and reedy- ,
ed their entire vote. The Americans. emit
Republicans hold a comma on Saturday
evening previous, and after uniting upon
Mr. 3101111113 as their candidate, unanimous. ,
ly adopted the foll Owing resolutions :
Resolved, That we are opposed to the ad-,
mission of any more Sloo.States into , the
Ifni& ; theretbre
_ L
Resolved, Thatlamins and NehraaltashdrOd
only be admitted into the sisterhood as Free
States.
Rewire, That we are opposed - to political
ltoinamsm, or the interference of any foreign
ecclesiastical establishment with the , political
affairs of our country.
Resolved, That the naturalization laws ought
to be so modifier m to correct the evils which
tto present system entails on the country, and
that rigid measures should be taken to prevent
the importation of foieign paupers and con
victs.
The antiamerican caucus had a rough
time of it. Gov. BIGLER succeeded in
getting the nomination only on the 16th
ballot after a bard stryggle, he himself
being on the ground 'and personally la-
Oortuning membe;s for their support.—
The 16th ballot stood Bigler 43, Bucka
low 11, Foster 18, Jones 7, Robbins 3--
necessary to a choice 42. Tho'caucup pre
vious to the balloting, had adopted it res
olution pledging thesupport of all present
to' the nowinee---thus heading 'off all
chances for mutiny. Bigler belongs to
the Campbell faction of the Democracy,
and was warmly supported by that entire
interest; The Harrisburg Telegraph thus
adverts to his election :
"The election of Gov. Bigler is not his
own triumph; It is a victory of the same
desperate politicians who forced Postmas
ter General Campbell upon the Democratic
ticket in 1851—the same men who, when
rebuked by the people. again forced him
into . Governor Biglor's Cabinet in 1852,
and the same men who again forced him
into the most important Cabinet position,
in a political point of view, under Presi
dam Pierce. '[he party had ~rtrvoltad at
each step thus taken to fore,' a man into
power against their Wlil , and the stroke of
that vengeance fell upon Governor Bigler
in 185.1, - as it fell upon Judge Campbell in
1851. Still defiant, however, the pro
gramme is played steadily toward comple
tion, whenever the voice of the people can
be stultified by a Legislature or an Execu
tive. So Gov. Bigler goes to Washington,
owing his place.not to the fairly expressed
wishes of the Democracy, but to President
Pierce, Postmaster General Campbell ; and
their engines of political warfare."

of acknowledged ability , and conserva

The contest for Speaker In the House
still continue* without material change in
the relative strength of parties, and until
this question is decided there can of course
bu no legislation. An order having been
adopted last Friday to call on the several
candidates for Speaker to define their pos
itions on• various topics, the ball was open
ed nu' Saturday by Al!. Zollicoffer pro
pounding a aerie's of written interrogations
in regard to their position on the Kenna
Bill. tlip repeal of the Missouri Cempro.:
wise, the Wilmot Proviso, do.
*kr. Ilicttaansort replied in these inter
rogatories by remarking that in voting for
the Kanin-Nobraska bill; he intended the
!people of the territories to decide' the gees
lion of slavery 'themselves, and he Would
admit them as States with or without sla.,
very. Ho bad said that slavery would not
go iberit, - but he cover urged that as a rea
son why he voted for Alio bill. As to the
constitutionality of the Wilmot proviso, he
voted for tha-sprinciple applicable to the
Mexican acquisition,: in a spirit , of cotnpro
miss. but it ivoql be unjust to incorporate
it in a' terrOrial bill. In hls, judgment,
the i tienstitution does , not carry slavery into
the territories, l i,bat it protoots both sec
dons of the country alike.
Mr. emote was then called out, add the
members dret np their chairs arouneririm.
Ho did not feel' obliged, he said; to answer
the questions. He had not - solicited the
stipport.of any. lie said of his friends as
Othello said of 'his wife, "They had eyes
and they chose' me." Ho distinctly re
marked that he (lid not regard the Kansa s
bill as. promotive of the fortnriion of Free
States. •He believed in the constitutionali
ty of the Wilmot Provisp ; but did not be
Here that the • Constittition carries slavery
into the, territories. He recognized the
right ofjhe protection of rroporty at the
North artirSouth alike—bur not property
in man. lie believed the constitution an
instrument of freedom, and Congress wrong
in repealing the Missintri Compromise.—
[Applause from the Ifepublieans, and con
fusion, with cries for Mr. Fuller.]
Mr. FULLER said he was ready at any
time to retire groin the field of protracted
contest. lie did not regard the Kansas
bill as promotive either of free or slave
States, and had never advocated the cAnsti•
tutionallty of the Wilmot Proviso. Slave
ry exists independently of the constitution.
Congress, therefore, had no right to legis
late slavery ipso. or out of the territories,
and only the right to legislate so far as to
protect the citizens in the enjoyment of
their property. .
Mr. PxsortNaroN was then called for
loudly lie said he had no idea so obscure
and unpromising a candidate as himself
would bo required to define his position.
Ho wa.loutaide,Of the triangle. [Laughter]
He most respectfully declined to make a
reply, but vstzeld do so when the House
seri<mely ipiiiiNd to use his name in con
nection ii,,, , . pie Speakerehip. It was of
no consequence what were the individual
opinions of the presiding officer.
. Mr. BAltmaruze followed with a set of
interrogatories as to whether the candida
-1 t es were members of the Know-Nothing
' party ; also seeking light as to their views
in yegard to the abolition of Slavery in the
District of Columbia—the equality of the
white and black races—a modification of
the Tariff, &o.
Mr. RICHARDSON replied that he was
not a member of the Know Nothing organ
ization—:that he was not in favor of abol
ishing Slavery in the District of Columbia
—that be did not wish to promote the e
quality of the black and white races by le
gislation—that he was not in favor of the
exclusion of naturalized citizens and oath°.
lice from offee—and that ho was in favor
of a modification of the tariff.
Mr. BANKS replied that ho was nomina
ted by Democrats and Americans, and by
them elected ; as to the Tariff, he referred
to the record of last year; and on equality
of races, he stood by the Declaration of In
dependenco, with the addition that ho be
lieved that the stronger race would absorb
the . weake.r. The other questions were
subordinate, to that prohibiting Slavery in
Kansaij ho would unite with all to inter
dict Slavery in the Territories.
Mr. Fur, radt said he was not in favor of
the Missouri Compromise; he was opposed
to the aboliiion of Slavery in the District
of Columbia ; he did not believe in the
equality of the mbite and bleak races ;
preferred native born citizens for office; he
would proscribe no man for his ~religious
opinions ; he would invite rather than re
pel foreigners,_ tint in all things pertaining
to legi elation, he world have America gov
erned by Americans. These various an
swers :teemed to tindery everybody, and the
House proceeded to ballot the one hundred,
and fifth time for Speaker. Mr. Banks

Annual Report of the President
and Directorh of the '‘Gettys•
burg'Rallroad Corupany.”
To the Stockholders of the ..Gettyshurg
Railroad Company."
GENTrAstxlv :—Your Board of Direc
tors, according to the requirement/. of the
Law, beg leave k to submit the following
brief statemeprOf the coddition of the
Company and its management during the
past year. To those who co-operated with
tie In the arduous and vexatious tsak of se
curing stook subscriptions we return our
Allure thanks. And as it is an enterprise
of so general interest, and one which in
volves in its success the' future welfare of
the county, we regret that there were
some persons to be found in the eons
amok.), who Would not lend a helping
hand.
After excessive and indefatigable labor
wo have succeeded in raising the requisite
.amount of stock to justify us in contract
ing for the building of the Road. We
have flied upon three points for the routs
of the roac;---the starting point, at the un
Pnished work of the Gettysburg extension
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, at the grade
of said road at Carlisle street, in , the Bor
ough of Gettysburg—thence East, by the
most practicable route,' through the town
of New Oxford, so as to out the town lots,
and thence to Hanover, to intersect the
Hanover Branch Railroad. The length
of the Road is limited, so as not to exceed
the length of the line surveyed by Mr.
Haupt's corps of engineers, which was
seventeen and one-seventh miles. This
route, although longs& than the direct
route to Hanover, will only oust the excess
of the iron required to lay the difference
in the distance of the two routes—the gra
ding on the direct route being more expen
sive per mile on an average, than via
Oxford. The advantages of adopting the
latter route are that it will accommodate a
larger portion of our County, secure a
bout 820,000 more of stock subscription,
and, above all other considerations. is 10
miles on a direct line to York, with which
latter place a railway connection is very
&mirage. IVe have, in the selection of
this route, thus kept in view the future
interests of the Company—the probability
of 'ultimately extending the road to York
—without in the least sacrificing its pros-
ent interests, but in reality increasing its
means to build the road.
A proposition was made, during the
fall, by Messrs. Intvirt & TAYLOR., to
perform the work, of gradation of the;
road, by the route adopted, for the sum
of $105,000, of which sum $20,000
would be taken in stock of the Company. ,
After mature deliberation, and atter giving
;to the public the benefit of the proposal.l
so as to awaken a competition among bid
dert, the Board ultimately closed a contract,
I with Messrs. Irwin & Taylor on the terms
proposed. The work of gradation is to be
completed, under the supervision, if desi
red, of ttie Company's own Engineer, with
in the period of 18 months. The Board
agree to pay them monthly, according to'
the estimates of work performed, which 1
payments aro not to exceed *5,000 per'
month, and retaining 15 per cent of the
cash and 15 per cent of the stock pay- I
meets, as a security for the completion of
the work. But should the Board be ena
bled to call in their payments more rapid. ,
ly than specified in the conditions of:
subscriptions, the work is to go on proj
portiotitdly faster. And in order to effect!
the more speedy completion of the Road,
the Board recommend.. that inducements
shall be offered to stockholders to pay in
their stock in a much shorter time than le
gally required, by allowing a discount on
stock thus paid.
Subsequently, a proposal was made by
the same party to furnish the iron and lay
the track 'of the Road, at a price to be reg.
slated by the cost of iron at the time it is
purchased, which proposal has been ac
cepted by the Board and the contract thus
virtually completed—the signing of it hav
ing been deferred on account of the ab
sence of ono of the parties to the contract.
As soon as it is sealed its specific terms,
it is intended, will be made known by the
next Board of Direetors.
The amount of stook subscribed is
$130,200, nearly all of which is available.
But the Company must sell more stook in
order to complete the superstructure,' or,
on a failure to sell a sufficient amdunt of
stook, secure a loan of money. They have
a promise of $5OOO mare of stock subscrip
tion,-dependent on a very probable con. ,
tangency, and it is confidently hoped that
the sale of stock in the County will still
continue:,
The laud holders along the proposed line
of the Road have been generally liberal in
releasing the right of way, and Tjth a few
persons who are still extravagant in their
demands there is still a prospeet of effect
g a satisfactory compromise.
Part of the Road will pass through awe-,
tion of country abounding in rich quarries
of limestone, the transportation of which
to the country along the western end of
the Road, will Make:it a source of profit
to the. Company,. while the superior quid
ity of Granite Rock in the vicinity of Get.
tysburg will furnish another lucrative
trade for the Itoad. •
Your President and Directors have al
lowed themselves no recompense what
ever for the time and money expended in
securing stock, and the reponsibility and
consequent anxiety of mind attendant . up
on their fi duciary capacity. Consequent
ly the Company have been at no expense
during the lastyear. All that the retiring
Board4alt as a recompense at your hands,
is your hearty approval
. of their acts in
their attempt at a faithful and conicien
siotis discharge of duty in their official re-I
Wilms toward you.
MEM
The trust Is no pleasant one. Bicker
ing' and wife have been engendered by
conflicting interests in reference to the
western terminus of the Road.- Paying
due deference to the public will, and with
an eye single to the present. and Swore
interests of the Company, unbiased by any
ascii( nal prejudices or feelings, we have
fixed the western terminus for the irada.
tion of the Road at the commencement
of the unfinished work of the Gettysburg
Extensional Carlisle street. This should
and will satisfy all reasonable Parties
(in interest,) and promote the. true Inter
ests of the Company. . $
The prospects for the entire trample
lion of the Road within 18 months are
verj flattering. A great and responsible
task devolves upon the Board about to be
elected, and if the plane which have been
commenced arc faithfully and impartially
executed during the ensuing year, success
may safely he predicted. Without judi
cious, skillrul, and economical matiage
ment, the progress of the work will be
greatly retarded.
Weara mo et ardent in our hopes, and re
commend to all the friends of the Enter
prise a concert of action, and a speedy
completion of the work will crown their
efforts.

LITTLESTOWN RAILIIO4IIII.—We are
ativised that our Littlestown friends are ranch
encouraged r in their efforts to secure a railroad
from that place to Hanover. The cash sub
scriptions amountalready to over $20,000 the
entire estimated cost of the road being less
than $60,000. Some of the subscriptions are
said to be very liberal, ranging from from $l,-
000 to $2,000. We have understood that the
present idea of those charged with the prose.
cution of the enterprise is to build the road
with • stock subscriptions, entirely, so U. to
have it, when completed,clear of inceinbrance:
A GOOD IDEA.—Oar editorial sanctum
was honored yesterday morning by a visit
from several ladies, in the capacity of a com
mittee, with "compliments" for. the "Junior,"
and a modest intimation that a sleigh: would
call for him at 4P. M. Startled into a re
alization of the fact that "LemiYear" was
really here, we held onrselves in readiness for
the denouement. .rour o'clock came, and with
it, lo I a thoroughly equipped establishment,
and in a few minutes we found ourselves, with
some six or seven other equally fortunate
"young. gentlemen," gliding swiftly over the
glittering snow, in charge of na corny
After proceeding some eight or ten miles, we
discovered that we were to spend the evening
at —, one of the most hospitable man

supper that was hard to bcat--an4 innocent
amusements--marked the occasion, until the
"wee hours of the morning," when, again re
signing ourselves into the charge of those
who had summoned ns to their proteetionove
found ourselves speedily and safely returned
to our homes. The.nighi was unusually clear
and bi-illiaut—the moon in pee.rleas beauty
scattering her rays upon the sparkling snow
drifts—and the mercury itself, as though in
deference to the occasion, taking a stand. for
the first time during:the last few:weeks at a
moderate, reasonable 'point. ,The whole affair
was, an admirable one—happy in its concep

that the grading of said road should be estetW
ed westward so as to connect. with the graded'
bed of the Gettysburg extensien of the Penn

laid westward as far as the intersect‘a et'
Washington street T and that the board of Di
rectors he instructed to tetra sueh action as
may be necessary to carry on these views.
The adoption of this reel:dram was deemed
necessary to allay the apprehensions of stock-:
holders interested in the extensions of the road
across Carlisle at. Whether those apprehen
sions wore well founded or ant, it is Del mate
rial now to inquire. We are gratified to firsts
that its adoption hashed the desired efikt r inat
that the Board will now Have the hearty atop
eration of all parties in their commratfilife ef

Dittvra op .4 Poem—The, deitth of
Samuel Rogers, the poet, at the stiffened
age of fie year., is mentioned in the latest
English papers as having bemired' ion the
18th. of last month. He was more form
nate than most of hie compeers in the
world of letters, havinthecome a banker
of easy means. It is stated that his first
volume of poems was published in 1787.
He was the connecting link not only be
tween two generations, but iliro cements
of literary men.

last argument before the Supreme' Court
Attorney General Conant; paid , a high
'compliment to Ex-President Pilmore, who'

These evidences .of WIRY and character
were made most apparent in the records
of the Attorney General's ofrice.—Nor
olk. Herald.'
HIGHER- LAW OF THE JILSUITII.-..-.The
Harrisburg Herald says is related
of Dr. De Barth. the /emit priest and
Vicar. General of Pennsylvania, that when
told by a brother that he could not take
the oath of naturalization to - America +Alb
out violating the oath of ordination to the
Roman Pontiff, he pronounced it a mis
take, and promptly remarked that any part
of the oath of allegiance to this country
which may be incompatible with the tint'
and greater allegiince to the Pontiff is of
no obligation."

Holloway's Ointment and Pills, a worderful
Cure of Ulcers in the Leg.—Frederick Iliff, of
Houstan, Texas, was afflicted for eight years
with seven ulcers in the leg, like the keys of a
flute, which discharged continuously and ren-
Idered his life one of the greatest wretchedness
and misery; many remedies were tried in vain,
he became worse ; at last he had recourse to
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and by perse
vering with these remedies in accordance with
the . printtal directions for nine weeks, he was
radically ared, and is now able to walk better
than ever he was in his life.

McCiacken's invaluable Rniefly
YOR THE RESTORATION ~& PRESERVATION
OF THE HUM'Alsi HAIR,.
AFTER many years of lqborions , research
and experiment, I hay the gratification
to announce to those of the p MO who May:be
afflicted with'baldness or pre titura grey` hair,
p li
that I have succeeded in the preparation .of an
article that is an infallible remedy for either of
these disorders: For a' considerable length
of time I have been in the habit of using it up•
on myown customers, and in no instance has
it failed to reader the most , entire satisfaction.
Having
. long entertained the belief that, in a
vast majority of eases; Baldness and prema
ture grayness were induced by disease, or want
of viger.and `vitality of the scalp,. rather than
being the necessary consequence of mere as
i cumulation of years. • .
My whole attention was directed to the dis
covery of some preparation, which, by remov
ing the dandruff and other foreign matter
which; in spite of the utmost precaution,' will
collect upon the scalp, would restore to this
part all its vigor tuid vitality,. and thus remove
the great cause of both, these diseases. In
offering this preparatieu,to the public, I have
full.confidence that it will , not disappoint the
expectatiOns of many who may feel inclined to
give it a fair and iinpartial trail. It more ef
fectually, than any other preparation, removes
the dandruff and cleanses the head, thus re-
moving all obstacles to the growth of a new
and luxuriant crop a hair. For the prema•
tune grey, it reatores to the hair. the free circu
lation of its natural fluid, and, in an almost in•
credibly short time, brings to it its. natural
healthfulness and color. Although this prep,
iration has never been brougbefore the
public through the medium of adve *lifigi yet'
h.t.
by its own Inherent virtues, it haw n Its way
into favor in many of the counties of this and
neighboring, States. At the, solicitation of
many of my Mends and" patrons who,have.
been benefittedly it, I have been, induced to
give it to the public; and hi doing:this; I do it
with the confident dasurance that any wheinay
try it, will find it to possess all the merit` Claim ,
odfor it' ,
In case of partial baldimai when ::used a.
greeably to 'directions, this,Restorative has not
failed, in a single instance '
to produce a luxu
riant growth of the natural hair. • •
rp the hands of mothers and nurses, it is a
capital ouration for all those diseases of
the scalp incident to infant children.
• In fine, an a toilet article, it should be in the
hands of all who wish to expel the $ ndvutif,
.
preserve the lair, prevent it from f g off,
and render it soft, glossy and wavy. •
