not satisfactory, and suspicions were arous

BUEHLER 6 EDITOR.
Mr The call for a Union State Conven
tion, issued by the Republican and Amer
ican members of the Legislature, to meet
in Harrisburg, on the 25th of March,
meets with a very favorable response
throughout the State. A disposition
seems to be maninfested by a few Presses,
which last fall lost us the 'State by their
opposition to a Union I:lei:aorta Ticket, to
play the lame game again. A cordial
union of all the opponents of Locofocoism
is desirable. We believe such a union
could be affected on an honorable basis, if
the extrimists on lioth sides were actuat
ed by a disposition to conciliate by mut.
ual =cession. We have not a particle
of doubt • that a majority of the voters of
Pennsylvania are hostile tcinhe principles
and policy avowed by the Foreign party.
Why throw away the certainty of victory
by useless dissensions

They impctitant result, of the recent
political revolution In Spain (says the
Honesdale Demoorat,) is the` re-establish
!tient Of the Inquisition. Pers no
more cogent evidence oould be ad duced to
she* thatilieYlafhulio Church waits on
political power; and that it is ever the
same, the progress of ages in civil and
religious libeity *producing no mollifying
effect upon it. '
In this connection it is not amiss briefly
to notice the developemedtof the icquisi
,toriatfunetion in the Church.
\,Before the conversion of Constantine
the Great, the Bishops ale examined
inn) doctrines, and punished homy with
excommunication; but after the Emperors
became Christian, they ordained that such
as were excommunicated • should be also
banished and @reit their estates. This
continued till about 'the year 800, when
the power of the western Bishops was en•
larged to the authority of citing persons to
their courts, both to convict and punish
them by imprittonment, penances' and
death.
,In the twelfth century, heresy, as
it was then called, was much ineteased,
and the Inquisition arose in the persecu
tion of the Albigenses and Waldenses.—
It wits instituted by Pope Innnocont 111, 1
in 1208.
This pontiff was a maiVnf - great purity
of character and of "gonSiderable literary
attainments. As the part he hed,to sup
port, was rather political than
so was his conduct actuated rather by the
daring ambition of a statesman, than the
misdirected zeal of a monk.
At the time of the Ratisbon conference,
when it became °Winos that no concluston
could he'rivived et with the professors of
the new tenets, and that even io Italy
disputes had arisen concerning the sacra
ments, while doubts as regarded purga
tory and other points of great moment in
the Roman ritual were awakening aiuong
the people, Pope Innocent one day inoni•
red of Cardinal Ca ra Ira, "what remedy
coula he d, vi se ( fur these evils ?" Thu
Cardinal replied, that a thoroUghlv search
ing inquisition lt;is the only one sure to be
efficient, and his opinion was supported
by John Alvarez de Toledo, Cardiulel of
Burgos.
The old ,Dominican inquisition had
long fallen to decay ; the choice of inquisi•
tors was commit tea to the monastic orders,
and it sometimes happened that those men
partook of the very opinions they. were
appointed to suppress. The primitive
form had been so far departed from in
Spain. that a supreme tribunal of the
Inquisitioti had been established for that
country. Caraffa and Burgos were both
old Dominicans, zealots for the purity of
Catholicism, holding stern and gloomy
views of moral rectitude, in their own lives
!rigidly austve, and immoveable in their
1 opinions. These tnen advised the Pope
to establish a supreme tribunal 'of the In.
quisition in Rome, universal in its juris
diction, and on which all . others should
. .
I depend. • "As SC. Peter," exclaimed
1 Caraffa, “subdued the first heresierchs in
no other place then pone,- so must the
1 successors of Peter destroy al! the heresie's
world •
of the wao.e in Home."
1 By papal edict six Cardinals were .ap
-1 pointed Commissioners of the Apostolic
See, and Inquisit4s general and nniver•
sal in matters of faith on both sides the
1 Alps.
Not merely were the opinions of persons
inquired into, but doctrines contained iii
Wolin. It was decreed that no book,
whether new or or old, and whatever its
contents, should for the future be printed
without permission item the Inquisitors. ,
Booksellers were enjoined to send in cata
logues of their stock, and to sell nothing
without authority. The officers of ens-'
toms also received orders to deliver no
package, whether of printed books or man
uscripts, to its address, without first laying
them before the Inquisition. This gradu
ally gave rise to an Index of prohibited
books, of which the first examples were set
in Lourain and Paris.
From the first and throughout itsentire
career, the Inquisition was used, net only
as an. instrioneut for enforcing theologic
uniformity, ut least so far "a. relates to
outward Expression; but was used as a
means of gratifying political and personal
hate. Men and women \ were constantly
denounced as holding heretical opinions
through revenge. Husbands, anxious to
be rid of wives, and wives anxious to be
rid of husbands, complained of them as
heretics and had Mem either executed or
consigned to du s ngeona for life. The same
tendency exists latently now in ° all.socie
•ties ; for nothing is more' common, when
other means of destroying the influence or
happiness of individuals fail, to accuse
them of bolding InCinstrous opinions on
religious subjeCts, and thus tutieee • eattm to
a sort of soei‘l ostrattiotu.
It remained for Gregory IX, in a Coun
cil held at Toulouse in 1229, to give the
Inquisition its fuel form.- ,
• The punishment, often by burning
alive of heretics, was , aulled an Autoda
Fe. Thia is styled'an act ot faith, itud.is
aid despotism and suppress liberty. This'
Inquisition is organised in seenn i , and its
officers and agents are ottly.-known to the
public when they have occasion to exer
else their functions.
Wh'en Underwood of Shoorsdosh
.„at
tended the Republioim Ifs - Sofia! Conven
tion, the Southern Demcieratio Inquisition
instantly proceeded :aiainst him, and he
was compelled to abandon his family and
property, and bvioko himself to the. North.
in °Wei to save *life. ,When Striek
land, the bookseller of Mobile, was iliseuv
ered to have -furnished a few of his cos
to*tire with the Life of Fred. Douglass,
the Democratic Inquisition was speedily
brought, to bear upon him, and he was
forced to abandon all he had and escape in
hot haste. It deserves obisrvation, more
o7er,
that one of the oilier officers of the
Mobile branch of the LcqUisition is Dr. J.
C. Nott, who atipiresthe dignity lied
impartiality of a philosoliher, and who, iu
his famous Work, "The l'ypes of Man
kind," has avowed °pianos, totally sub.

tempt of popular opiip. When Stan
nard of Norfolk exorcised his right of
suffrage in voting for Fremont and Day
ton, On:Democratic Inquisition took his
case into hand, and nothing but the oo
carrel:ice of a fire iu the city enabled him
to take his departure for the North, thus
escaping the fangs of the tormeuters;
When Hedrick ventured to express his
preference for Fremont over the other
presidential candidates, the Democratic
Inquisitors made him at once forsake his
professional chair and the State of North
Carolina. When the Republicans peace
ably assembled in Baltiinde to form an
electoral ticket, the tools of Democratic
Inquisitors buret in and swept them out as
with a flood. All over there fifteen slave
States this Democratic Inquitision has con
verted the postmasters into agents for
suppressing the circulation of such n,ws
papers as dare say in plain English that
' Freedom is better than Bondage.
In view of these facts, and ninny more
like import which, we have not space to
mention, it is not weadvrful that in this
country Democracy and Popery have
I made a liege otkisive and defensive, de
signing to stand h fall together.
The End of the Pierce Dynasty.'
fr - Tuesday last ended the official ca
reer of Franklin Pierce, as President of
the United States. No man ever was el- 1
evated to that exalted station under more
favorable circumstances, or enjoyed better
opportunities to endear himself to the
American peopfe, by allaying sectional
animosities and oeinsuting the bonds
of the Union ; yet no one ever more
abused the privileges enjoyed, and more
signally failed in wording a 'fame fur him
self, and promoting harmony
,end concord
among the different sections of the country.
No man ever, was elected with greater
lunanimity, mill none ever retired, except
the ingrate Tyler, who had the approving
smile of a less number of those who aided
iu his election.
Gen. Pierce may be an honest, well
meaning man; but, called to an office for
which he was unqualified, his Adminis
tration has been but a series of blunders,
as might have beec expected. and he now
closes it. to the regret of his office-holders,
it may be, hut to the great relief and satis
faction of all parties of his countrymen.—
If the weakness and imbecility which
characterized his Presidential career were
all that his couutryineu had to charge
against hitn,•he might claim and be enti
tled to their sympathy ; but, alas ! ho has
not only been a weak and imbecile. Chief
Magistrate, but he deliberately falsified the
pledges upon which he was elected by so
large a vote of his countrymen. He came
into office solemnly ploged to regard and
to treat the compromise measures of 1850
us a finality of the slavery question. But
fur that pledge, be never would havp been
I elected. Haw he performed it, we need
not .say. The repeal of the Missouri
Compromise tells the tale. By favoring
that measure and securing ita passage. Ito
not only violated the pledge upon which
he was elected, but atirred up the bitter.
waters of sectionhl stifo, and brought upon
the country all the animosity which now
excites one section against the other. But
we will not pursue the subject. Speak
not evil of the dead, is a maxim which
may with all its force be applied to Gen.
Pierce. Hu is now a mere private citizen,
without power of patronage, and hencefotth
he.will be looked upon • by his countrymen
as a living monument of the folly of mis.
guided ambitioio, associated with vaulting
incompetency.—Daily News.

PERFORATED STAMPS.—The
Postmaster General, has recently introdu
ced an improvement in the postage stamps,
which according to the Phil adelphia
Ledger, adds greatly to their public con
venience. lie has had them prepared on
sheets with perforation around the borders
of each stamp, do that they can be separa
ted, one front the other, without using a
knile or pair of scissors. Besides the
saving of time in this improvement, there
k greater security that the stamp will
adhere to the letter a ; lor the pinto , or
rough edge left by the perforation will
stick butter to the letter, there being none
of the risk of the edge turning up when
it is continuous.

to thwart the evils which this discovery

might otherwise lead to.

For Supretnq udge —ll,m. Ellis Lewis,
of Philadelphia.
An active contest bad been going on
for some time ip the ranks of Ella Opposi•
tion for the honor of these norninarionA—
especially for that of Governor! The
contest between Packer. Col. Sum. Black,
of Pittsburg, and Win. H. \Vittie, of
Philadelphia, WAS close for some twenty
ballots, the friends of each stubbornly
clinging to their favorite. On the 24th
ballot Pucker carried off the prize, the
vote standing—Packer 68, Wittie 51,
Black 14. Gen. PACKER is a man of
pretty fair ability—has been in the Canal
Board, and largely concerned in the man•
agement of the Public Works. We
don't suppose the•thieves connected with
those Works, who have been robbing the
State year after year, will take his nomina
tion very hard.
Judge STRICKLAND is an old politician:
He has been aiming hard for years to-get
his hands into the Public Treasury, and is
at last successful. He was nominated on
second ballot—Strickland 89, Lowry 33,
Scattering 11.
Judge Lewis is now on the Supreme
Bench. He is a pretty adroit politician;

THE RICH MEN OF NEW YORK.—A I
city. tax-book of Net' York has at last
been published, containing the natne and
title 'of every persed, corporation and
copartnership that was taxed /14/Ming ta '
the Assessor's books for the years 1850 ,
—7, together with thellllollnt of property
on whir .h the tax was lei!ii.ll. This list!
gives, of course, only the amount of real
estate in the city of New York, and does i
not mention the amount outside of its lon- I
its which cacti citizen or corporation may
possess. And •as the valuation of the
Assessors by no means equals the actual
value of the property, on which taxes are
paid, it will be necessary to multiply the
sums recorded in the book by two or three,
in order to arrive at an idea of the true
value of the property taxed. *
Mr. William 13. Astor is taxed on 83, , ;.
200,000 real estate and $755,000 person•

A DIPOCERATION.-A 'petritied' human
corpse, it is said, has recently been disin
terred at Milwankie, Wisconsin, by the
opening of a road through a burial-ground
in that city. The body was that of a ger.-
tleman named 'Whitington &lyre,_ who
went from Elmira. N. Y., to Aldwaukie,
where he died, seven years since. The
body is said to hresbeen taken from the
grave and examined by a large number of
persons. Every feature of the face was
perfectly preserved, and the whole body
was as hard as the hardest stone. The
coffin was considerably decayed and the
remains in adjoining graves were nearly
decomposed. Much scientific discutod.in
has resulted front occasional statements of
this kind, ever since Adikocere was first
discovered, seventy years since, by Pout
croy, in the cemetery of the Church des
Innocens at Paris. At the last session
of the American Association for the Ad
vaneement of Science, the theory was put
lorth that there were no such things ail
petrified human bodies, it bsing explained
that the alleged eases were in reality in

Cu). F. t7►anxEß, prefacing them with n
few remnrl4, offered the following freaMble
nod resolutions, as expreashe of the eeati•
mint of a large majority of the To: payers of
Huntington township, which,.on motion, were
unanimously adopted : •
WHEREAS, A majority of the School Direc
tors cf Huntington township, have, in defiance
of popular sentiment, and by an arbitrary ex
ercise of power, assessed and laid an onerous
and unnecessary School tax for the year 1857.
And whereas a large majority of the citizens
of said township, believe there exist no neces
sity for so heavy and burdensome a Tax, eith
er for school, or building purposes. And that
time said majority of Scher)! Directorrs, have
in thus braving the general sentiment of the
community, committed an outrage upon the
feelings of their constituents, that calls for a
severe and just rebuke. Therefore be it
Retolved, That the present School Law is
anti-Republican in its sentiments, and anti-
Democriltic intits operations ; as it places un•
limited Oliver inNtte harms of a few to levy tax,
build school-housek,-&< without consulting
the will of the people, and that too, without the
sanction of an oath. Thereby introducing
corrupt and arbitrary measures, rendering the
present system of education odious with the
masses. And that said law ought to be "so
amended, as to limit the powers of the Direc
tors, making them subservient to the will of
the majority ; which is one of the cardinal
principles of our Republican Government.
Resolved, That the appointment of County
Superintendent of public schools is an nonce.
calmer) , waste of public money, and ought to
be dispensed with.
Resolved, That with but few exceptions, the
Public Schools of Huntington township have
been for a series ofyenrs badly organized and
insufficient in their operations ; resulting ei•
flier from the want of capacity or inattention
of School Directors, or in a failure of the sys
tem itself.
Rem)!red, That the "Academy" in Peters
burg with some ialprovements, which would
not exceed in cost Two Hundred Dollars, is
abundantly sufficient for all the purposes of a
School-house. And that the stud School Di
rectors in refusing the liberal offer of the Trus
tees of said Academy, to lease said buildings
to them fur any term of years free q/' renl—
for public school purposes, ana forming the
determination to build a new school-house a
gainst well known, and expressed wishes of a
large majority of the tax-payers of the town
ship ; have acted either through ignorance of
their proper duties and position, or from un
worthy motives—thereby rendering unpopular
the present system of public schools, and ren•
deriug themselves unfit to hold the position
they now occupy.
Resolved, That we, the citizens of Hunting
ton, having lost confidence in the ability and
judgment of the present acting Board of school
directors; do nsw request them to resign
their trust into the hands of the people who
gave it to them—so that the people of the
townmhtp ma . ) have an opportunity at the ap
prom-hing Spring election to elect such a
board of school directors, who will faithfully
Nwesent their intarests, and to whom they
will be willing to entrust the future manage
ment of their schools; and the settlement of
the present difficulty.
Re,olved, That nothing in the foregoing
Resolutions is intended to reflect upon the
conduct of those who constituted the minority
of the board . of school directors, and who op
posed the action of the majority.
Resolves?, That the proceedings of this meet
with the preamble and accompaning res.
lutions be signed by the efficers of this meet
ing. And that a copy of the same he furnish
ed to the papers of the County for publication.
After the appointment of Committees and
assigning their respective duties, the meeting
adjohrned to meet again on Saturday after
noon, the 14th of March. at 2 o'clock.

to receive and hold a draft fur 81000.
subject to an order for the same. He was
subsequently drawn on for the full amount
of the draft, and paid it. He never receiv
ed gtitillar of it. But a bold lie, "well
stuck to," will ittit.wer the purposes of
the Foreign party much better than the
simple truth.
DlS.Last week, at the Presidentiai levee,
in Washington, Mr. Hume, a wealthy, liberal
and highly respected merchant of that city,
wild , . wending his way through the crowd, ac
companied by two of his daughters, was rude
ly accosted by u Col. Lee, of Virginia, holding
n Clerkship in one of the Departments, and
eharged with an attempt to pick his (Lee's)
pockets. Hume indignantly denied the hu
miliating charge, and demanded an explana
tiou. A difficulty being threatened, theparties
exchanged cards. Next day Mr. Hume,
with a friend, called on Lee and renewed
the demand for An explanation. Lee inso
lently renewed the charge. Hume, smarting
under the gross provocation, struck Lee with
a cane, when die latter drew a revolver and
shot Hume dead ! Much excitement existed
in Washington against Lee. He was immed
iately discharged from the clerkship, and held
in $5OOO bail to answer the charge of "man•
slaughter." These Southern "bloods" never
commit "murder."
KrThe "New Coinage Bill" has re
ceived the President's signature, and is
now a law. it provides for the redemp
tion of the Old Spanish coins at, the U.
S. Mint, in the new cent only, at their
nominal value of 25,121 and 6}, for a pe
riod of two years.
PROORK4I4 or POPCRY.—An American
writing from Rome says
..An intelligent Papal Priest, in the city
of Rome, remsrked to me that the news
they were daily receiving, especially from
America and England, fully justified the
expectation that in leer than two goners
tiona the Catholics, without a thirty yearn'
war, and with the use of very little trio
lence,yould eo ovarflatik aril divide the
Protestarits, that Protestionism wroild bo
obliged to hide itself in a few obscure car.
nere like Norway and .I.tipland, if indeed
it continues to vegetate .at all
.• When I
stated some difficulties in the way of such
a result, the priest replied that there was
but one real difficulty,. in the way, and
that was the progresenf, Protestant sci•
cure among the Catholic clergy of Ger
many; and that they- wield 'devise, some
means to put a stop to that." • -

"The friends of Mr. Wilmot will make

HAITI
H
Is, no doubt, the most Wenderful discovery
of this age of progress, for it will restore,
permanently, gray hair to its original color,
cover the head of the bald with a most luxur•
iant'growth, remove at once all dandruff and
itching, cure all scrofula, and other cutaneous
eruptions, such as scald head, eta, It will
cure, as if by magic, nervous or periodical
; make the hair soft, gloaty and
wavy, and preserve' the color perfectly, and the
hair irom falling, to extreme old age.
The following is from a distinguished mem
ber of the medical profession :
Sr. PAUL, Jaunaty 1, 1805.
PROFESSOR 0. .1. WOOD--
Desk Sta : Unsolicited, I send you this cer
tificate. After being nearly bald for along
time, and having tried all the restoratives ex
tant, and having no faith in any, I was induced,
on hearing of yours to give it a trial. I placed
myself in the hands of a barber, and had my
head rubbed with a good stiff brush, and the
Restorative then applied and well' rubbedin,
till the scalp was aglow. This trepeated -ev
ery morning, and in three weeks the young
hair appeared and grew rapidly from August
last till the present time, and is noir thick
black and strung—soft and pleasant to the
touch; whereas, before, it was harsh and wiry,
what little there was of it, and that little was
disappearing very rapidly. I still use your
restorative about twice a week, and soon shall
have a good and perfect crop of hair. Now,
I had read of these things—and who has not ?
but have not seen hitherto any case where
any person's hair was really beqefited by any
of the hair tonic, etc., of the day ; and it really
gives me pleasure to record the result of my
experience. I have recoratnended•your prep
aration to others, and it already has a large
and general sale throughout the Territory.—
The people here know its effects, add I3ave
confidence in it. The supply yott sent us, 116
wholesale agents for the 'Territory, is nearly
exhausted, and daily inquiries are made of it.
You deserve credit for your discovery ; and I,
for one, return you my thanks fel: thalenefit
it has done me, furl certainly had despaired
long ago of over effecting any such result.
Yours, hastily,
J. W. BOND.

Borrox, 27 School street, Marsh 20, 1855.
DELI' Sat: Having become prematurely
quite gray, 1 was induced; some six weeks
since, to make a trial of your Restorative. I
have used less than two bottles, but the
gray hairs have all disappeared ; and although
my hair has not fully attained its original col.
or, yet the process of change is gradually go.
i
ing on, and lam in•great hopes that n a
short time my hair will be as dark as formerly.
I have also been much gratified at tho healthy
moisture and vigrik of the hair, which before
was harsh and dry: and it has ceased to come
out as formerly.
Respectfully yours,
D. C. M. RUPP.

tive, and have admired its wonderful effect.—
.hair was becoming, as I thought
turely gray, Out by the use of his "Restorative,"
it has resumed ita original color, and have
permanently so.

ONLY ONE BOTTLE OF
DR. SANFORD'S
Invigorator, or Liner Remedy .
IS required to cure any one troubled with
Liver Complaints, unless the most desper
ate of cases, when the secoxn bottle will, with
scarce a single failure, restore the patient to
health and figor. Wu wish to call the atten
tion of all to these facts, that the Invigorator
is compounded by a physician who has used it
in his practice fir tee past twenty years with a
success almost credulous, and that it Is entire•
ly vegetable s being* composed wholly of gums.
Some idea of the strength of these gums
may be formed when it is known one bottle of
the Invigorator contains as much strength as
one hundred doses of Calomel Without say 'Of
113 deleterious effects.
One bottle is the surest thing known to car
ry awn), the bad effects of mineral poison of
any kind. , •
Only one bottle is needed to throw out of
the system the effects of medicine after a long
sickneBs.
One bottle taken for Jaundice removes all
yellowness or ur.nntnral colo' &ern the skin.
One dose after eating is sufficient to relieve
the stomach and prevent the food from rising
and souring.
Only one dose taken before retiring prevents
nightmare. •
One dose taken at night loosens th, boweli
gently, and cures costivf,ness. • •
One dose taken after each meal wilt' care

One dose of two tea-spoonsfal will always
relieve Sick Headache.
One bottle taken for female obstruction re
moves the cause of the disease, and makes
perfect cure.
Only one dose immediately relieves ()hello,
while
One dose often repeated is a sure cure for
Cholera Morbus, and a sure preventative of
Choler].
One dose taken often will prevent the recur
rence of. billious attacks, while it , relieves all
painful feelings.
stir-One or two doses taken occasionally,is
one of the best remedies for cold ever known:
Thousand cases ufintlamtriation and vveak•
ness of the lungs have been cured by the In
vigorator: •
One dose taken a short time before eating
gives vigor to the appetite and makes food sin
gest well.
One dose often repeated cons Chronic Pier.
Aces in ita worst forms, while 'summer and
bowel complaints yield almost to the first dose.
One or two doses cures attacks caused by
worms, while for worms- in children, there is
no surer, safer, and, speedier remedy in the
world, as it never fails.
There is no exaggeration, in these state
ments, they are plain : and sober facts, that we
can give evidence to prove, while' all who use
it are giving their uprininsone testimony in its
favor.
