will, we;hope, be satisfactory to our numerous pa:
trons; it swill at least give evidence of a determina

thent_iii the main, therefore, rests the responsibility
of.securing to the people wholesome and just laws,
and , :a . .faitlifiii and just administration of them.

may be proper for us to state that we seen a mann

-the efficient member from Fayette comity, a few
days betbre the Ist of February.' :Messrs CRAIG and
RODI3ISON also know this to be the fact,. and will
testify baits carrectness. It is therefore sheer fully
far the' Philadelphians or others to say that tin•
measure was passed acalihily through the Legisla
ture. it may be that some of the opponents of
the Right of Way failed to examine its provisions.
.and to discovee the intentions of the law, but it
luch i be the faet, it only proves that they were not
as vigilantes they should hale been and not that
the friends of the measure practiced a fraud. The
previsions of the bill passed arc plain—there is no
ambiguity about them, and no man could fail, after
examining the section repealed, to tee that the
plait' intent of the bill was to give the Connellsville
Bail Rbad Company the power to extend their

why_the , wOmen'of ,theJewiSh race were so much

him, and they soothed himr tinder afflictions. A
woman of Bethany poured-Onhis head the precious
ointment which she, kept in a -,Vase of alabaster;
the sinner annointed his feet with perfnmed oil, and
wiped them with her hair. Christ on hiS part ex
tended his grace and mercy to the `Jewesses; he

and Martha's brother Lazarus; he cured `Simon's

he was the spring of living water, and a compas

FOREIGN I N'IELLIG EN C
We base carefully looked over the news rerv:is:xl
by the steamer Cambria and present our readers
with the following additional news:
Ousoors QUESTION.—The following extracts
from an article in the London Times, of the I stl,
ult., show that that paper does not look upon the
line of 49°- even as a certain hoe of agreement,
and gists also the latest opinion which we tiud on
this question:
• • • In the whole course of these negotia
. lions, that which has changed most completely, is
the claim set up by the Americans. In lsiB and
IS:2li, the territory in dispute was expressly asserted
and clearly understood, to be comprised between
the and 49th degrees of latitude. As fur the
more northern tract between 49 and "'S.I 40, we - are
Out aware that the paramount claims of Britain to
that part of it were then called in question. : The
proposals for partition ranged betsseen the mouth
of the Columbia and the 49th degree, but not be
yond; and the American plenipotentiaries unsuc
cessfully claimed the whole of that region, but no
more. Since that time, and in their more recent
discos:dons, they have raised their demands; they
have laid claim to the whole country; and then, as
if it Were the farthest limits of condescension and
concassion, they revert to their firmer offer, the ve
ry same which they before rejected. • • • •
They base raised a claim to the whole of Ore
gon. not with any expectation of acquiring the en
tire province, but in order to reconcile us to terms
we have before declared to be inadmissible. But
the truth is, that the bare 49th parallel, is to all
intents arid purposes, the same thing that it was
20 years ago.
We intimated an opinion some time ago. that
the 19th parallel ought conventionally to serve as
the basis of an arrangement; but it iki clear that
such a proposal must be accompanied with more
extrusive conditions than those heretofore annexed
to it by the Americans. It must leave the Whole
of Van Couver's Island. the navigation and harbor
of the Straits of Fuca, the free use of the Columbia
and its northern branches down to the sea. and a:,
indemnity or compensation to the Hudson's Bay
Company for the posts they would be called upon
to surrender.
We do not pretend to point out all the stipula
tions which it would be the part of a prudent and
just policy to require as an equivalent for a con
cession so much below our original claims. and. as
we firmly believe, our just rights. But the cession
of the vacant soil - might be politic and durable.
provided the private rights already long acquired
: and enjoyed by British subjects %sem duly respected,
and thes must, beyond all question, be protected by
the ultimatum of England.
Between these two proposals lies the question of

The Madly For of the Snake.—Atiack and der

I combinations of effect and passion which can tie

1 its intended prey; its escape is hopeless: it insane
! tively feels itself in the presence of its deadly ene
my, and kir the preservation of life prepares itself
for the fearful encounter. Half erect with gleam-
Mg eye, and its body coiled or straightened to meet
the exigencies of the moment, it faces its ever ac
tive foe; it writhes and sweeps the ground with the
convulsive movements of its tail, and like the skil
ful fencer, acts on the defensive till the opening fur
the fatal lunge presents itself; but the wary bird '
lows no such advantage, 'for dropping its wings,
shield-like, before it, it repels every attack by pros
trating the serpent by the powerful action of its
pinion, and leaping behind it, secures the prey by
a well-directed blow on the scull. This is a beau
tiful picture; the issue of life is in the struggle, of
which nature is the prompter, and in which the en

to their highest pitch. Dreaded by every other liv

TILE LAND PIRJATE.
A STORY OF THE REVOLUTION-
During the war of the I:evolution, the district of
country lying between the American lines on the
Hudson, and the British ontrpOsts above New York,
called familiarly the neutral ground, was infested
by a set of wretches, known as cow-boy, skinners,
and land pirates, who prayed at will on the patri-,
ots. A . party of them long carried on their outra
ges unchecked, in close vicinity' o the British lines;
a leader of redoubtable courage, who hationce been
a colonist of some estate, but having squandered it
in riotous living, had taken to his present irregular
life on the breaking out of troubles.
Accounts of his atrocities had long before found
their way to the American lines, and the evil be
cane at length so great that it teas determined at
any cost to extirpate his company. But this was
found easier to threaten than to achieve. Keeping
close to his secret haunts, or moving with astonish
ing celerity across the country,. it was impossible to
discover or overtake Harding, bur such was the
name the miscreant bore.
A young racer at length volunteered to enter
Harding's company as a spy, •in order to obtain
such inlOrniation as would lead to his being en
trapped. Lieut. Vaughan knew. his life hung on
a thread, in such a difficult mission; for discovery
would be instant death; besides, he had a personal
interest in the destruction of the land pirates.—
His heart had been in possession of Emily Head
ley., the only daughter of a wealthy farmer, who.
though hitherto a neutral, was suspected of lean
ing towards the American cause. and the anxious
heart of the lover began to fear that Harding. at
tracted by the wealth of the father, or by the beau
ty of the daughter, might sooner or later, make
Headley's farut the sCeue of his lawless atrocities.
It was out a dark and stormy night um w inch
Vaughan. disguised as a deserter, finite! his way to
a low tavern near the Hudson, niter.: the land pi
rates were known sometimes to harbor. With
great difficulty. awl not without exciting some IFlLS
picinn, he was enrolled as one ot their number but
his story Was so well connected. that all doubt of
a While was removed. One morning, a coni
approached him.
- 1 - 011 arc to accompany us, for the first time, to
night, said he. -The captain has resolved to at
, tack old Headley, who, you may have heard, lives
up among the hills. and is almost as rich as an
English lord. They say, too, that he has a pretty
daughter. but of that I know nothing, though, it
he has, 11l venture to say the captain will not for
get her."
Vaughan could hardly conceal his agitation dur
ing these vionls. 'The blow which he had long
!eared was about to fall. and he had neither time
to warn his friends nor the power to avert the ca
tastrophe. What could he dot Ills first thought
was to desert, and'hasten to Headley's farm, but
he knew he was watched closely, and that this
could not be effected.
In a few minutes. however, Vaughan managed
to steal away from his comrade, and sauntered into
the inn; foe they were at another low tavern simi
lar to the one where he had first joined the free
booters. The bar-maid was there alone; the words
in which she spoke surprised him.
-And so Captain Ilaiding is going to attack old
Mr. Headley's house, to-night," she said pettishly.
I can tell him it will come to no good. 31r. Head
ley has dime him or the king no harm; but it's the
daughter. and got the father, Harding is utter.—
She refused hith once, when he was a gentleman,
and now he'S determined to have her, on his own
terms, the villain."
At this confirmation of his worst fears. Vaughan
could not withhold a muttered curse. The girl
I looked up. Ile saw that his indignation had be
trayed him, rind his eye quailed beneath her search
ilw,,,lance. But he was relieved by what followed.
j-Lientennant Vaughan," said the girt, betiding
Aver and whispering in his car, -you are known.
but you have nothing to liar. I was brought up
near your father's, and saw you many , a iday; my
parents farmed the little place at the foot of the
hill. Do you know me, now? I arri Kitty- Cray.
The recognition was mutual. But the pleasure
dense d. from it was alloyed to Vaughan by what
he now heard of Harding's intentions. Kitty, it
seems. had listened, pretending to be asleep in the
liar, while the leader had divulged to two of his
confidential followers, the exening before his pur
pose in taking, the Headley farm, and it appeared
that he had hoarded up his old rejection, and haul
now resolved to avenge himself by carrying oil' tlw
daughter of the old man by force. The blood of
Vaughan ran cold at the narration. Fortunately.
Kitty was displised to assist loin; for her 1X0111:111 . .S
nature was not so far debased but what she could
feel for the peril of Miss Headly.
'lf I could obtain a trusty messenger and a fast
horse. we might send word to the out-post at
said Vaughan. ‘A force could march for the farm
and intercept our band.'
•It would be impossible to send off a messenger

nobody to trust; but I tell you N% bat can b e done._

said Venglinn. Tray heaven they may be there
yet. for your FehelllC is the Only tensible one.'
Their further conversation was interrupted by
the appeardsice of II arding ho eyed Vaug
han suspiciously, and ordered bins gruffly to leave
the room. (When) could but obey. He trembled
for the fidelity of his accomplice, however, as he
went. out and saw Kitty begin a bantering con ver
nation ~~ ith the Ireehooter.
Ilis companions were already busy in preparing
for their ride, and Vaughan immediately occupied
himself in saddling his horse. lie had scarcely
finished when Harding earns out.
"I see you are ready," said he, eyeing, him keen
ly. and have made up for idling in the barroom,
You will attend close on me, to-day—new recruits
are apt to be suspected, and it behooves them to
be especially ardent." He accompanied these
words with a sigmficant,smile, which left Vaughan
half convinced that he bad been betrayed.
It was not long before the party were in the
saddle, and the quick pate at which they advanced
increased the fears of ourhero that Kitty's scheme
would be a failure, since, even if she proved hue,'
and succeeded in reaching the American out-posts,
succor would come too late.
Imagine the feelings of Vaughgu during that - ride.
The agony of being broken on the wheel was noth
ing to it. Ile was welbaware of the inliexible pur
-1 pose of 'Harding, and knew that neither present
supplication nor fears of Ibture retribution would
turn him aside from his t fell ptlrpoEd. Nor could
Vaughan hope to suceeed, sihgle' handed, in any
attempt to avert the dOom of his betrothed. At
times, from the,peculiai look with which Handing

thoughts agitated him :continually.
"I.will,clie to save her; and-if: needs 'be," he in"
wardly swore, "I will preserve;her . , from profana
tion by . sacrificing her with my-,oWn hand." .
'With these bitter reflections, Vaughan,followed
his commander, his heart tormented nowby • des
pair, and now pacified:byhope. At, length, Head

would appear;-butnone were insight: -Itwas
just as evening. closed and all around wore a calm
and -peaceful look. He -turned eick.at heart, to
gaze on the old homestead; : and when Vaughan
thought of the desolution soon to fall on that now
happy household; his- feelings could' scarcely .I,•e.
controlled. But he felt the necessity of dissimu
lation, if he would even attempt to save Ethily.
"Forward—trot," said the voice of. Harding,' at
this moment, having-returned from a reconneisance
of the buildings, which he found, as he expected,
wholly unprotected; then as they reached the lawn
before the house, he shouted, in a voice which told
the household of his approach. "Halt!'' - •
Instantly the men drew in their reins, while the
hasty barring.of doors was heard from the house.
It was the work of a moment, however for the as
sailants to dismount, and stand before the long halt
door, which had given away before an axe which
one of the party carried, though not until a shot
had been fired from an upper story window.
"Our motto is beauty and booty," shouted Har
ding, as the door fell in. Spare none ; and revenge
your fallen comrade r With these words, he
rushed towards the stair-case leading to the apart
ment which Vaughan knew to be occupied by
Emily.
The crisis for which he had breathlessly waited,
ever since the attack began, had now come; and
regardless of the peril, Vaughan sprang after his
leader, determined to sell his life or frustrate Har
ding's designs. Almost together . they ascended
the stair-case. . The moment was one of terrible
interest. The hand of the ruffian was on the lock
of Emily's door—that door which had been so
sacred,. hitherto, even from Vaughan's approach-4
when our hero arrested it by a blow from his sabre.
which would have severed Harding's hand, had he
not caught the flash of steel and sprang back.
"Ha! a traitor," he said; comprehending every
thing at a glance, yet half astonished at the dis
covery; "then take that!" and-he levelled a pistol
at our hero, who saved his life only by knocking
up the weapon with his blade. In an instant the!
two excited men had crossed—Jiarding, furious at
the discOvery that he had harbored a spy. and
Vaughan thirsting for his heart's blood as the only
chance to save Emily.
By this time, the refugees were pouring up the
stair-case, and, foroment, they paused.in aston ;
ishment at the s tacle of this unexpected conf
bat. Recovering (korn their surprise, /they thre
ix vri'l
themselves on Vaukhan, who they disarmed and
hound, after receiviqrrnmy wounds. He expected
nothing now but immediate death, nor did hewish
to live. Since he could not save Emily, hetlesired
to die. He would have blessed any one who would
have put an end to his existence.
-Ohd why did my good blade fail mer said he:
-.shy could I not finish the miscreant!"
To add to his distress. one of the servants, Who
had been dragged into the hall, recognised him, and
revealed his name. .
-You are a lover; them of the fair bird within, a'
well as a traitor and a 'spy," aid Hauling, hoarse
with passion, and mad with lie pain of the wounds
he had received front Vaughan's sword; "then you
shall witness how she shalt be my !email, ere you
die!"
Vaughan writhed in mental agony. Already he
scorned to behold his betrothed struggling in the
foul arms of the ruffians. .
"For God's sake, - he implored, "torture me---tk
what you will with me—but spare Miss Headley;
spare her."
The villain answered by laying hold of the door .
knob. as he did this, a bullet whistled in the air;
and he fell dead, pierced by a pistol ball from an ;
unseen hand. As he fell, a huzza arose from the
staircase, which was now seen full of men in the,
attitude of American dragoons.
'Huzza—we have them now in a trap.' shouted
a stentorian voice, which Vaughan recognised as
that of his commanding officer, •no quarters, my.
lads—cut them down.'
The fight was soon over—the result could not be
doubtful. The refugees were cooped up, and had
no escape, while their enemies outnumbered them:
five to one. Harding fell in the beginning of the
fray. The assault, the melee and the defeat pass
ed almost with the rapidity of thought.
'We were just in time; said Vaughn's comarade,
when the scuffle was terminated, and every refugee
either slain 'or pinioned; 'lour messenger found us
fortunately at the post.' j
The terrified Emily nine came from the chamber
where she had fled with her father, and by her fair
hands were Vaughan's wounds bound up. After
the war, she and our hero were hapily married; and
Kitty. as a recompense for her services, was taken
into their household.
Old men still live in the quiet valleys of the
Hudson. who have heard, from participant's in that
lay's light, the story of the land pirate's death.
