Tint: FOUIi.TII OF 111/MOll CONVEN
TION.
We look upon the Convention which is to
assemble at Harrisburg, on Thursday of the
present week, as one of the most important
which has ever assembled in Pennsylvania.—
It will represent the Democracy of the State,
which has now the men of its choice at the
head of both the National and State Admin
istration, and its action must have a power%
ful influence upon the politics of the country
and the future welfare of the National Demo
cratic Party. The Convention is a purely
political one, and its debates and resolutions
may embrace a, great variety of subjects—
' some of which are now agitating the councils
of the nation. We hope to see this Conven
tion acting upon thorough Democratic prin
ciples, and even at the sacrifice of personal
opinions upon questions of minor importance,
doing all that lies in its power to maintain that
Democratic organization, based upon those
broad principles and sound and patriotic views
of national policy upon which the best inter
ests of the people and the safety of the Union
depend. Let its action be free from sectional
ism and entirely national.
TEES DE ATE' PENALTY
Mr. Struthers of Warren, has introduced
a bill in the House of Representatives, to per
/mit the Governor to commute the death penal
ty, in certain cases, to imprisonment. This is
to be done by the Executive when " facts shall
come to his knowledge which raise a reasona
ble doubt " in his mind, as to the guilt of
the accused. The bill has been reported
favorably upon, and we hope it may pass. It
is a measure which we have long desired to
see adopted. The tone of pablie sentiment is
adverse to capital punishment, and even iu the
jury box, this feeling is frequently so strong us
to prevent that certainty of punishment which
is the most potent preventive of crime. How
often do we see ," compromise verdicts " of
the most absurd character rendered by juries
out of opposition to capital punishment,
except in extreme cases. Convictions for
crime would be much more certain and whole
some in their influence, if Courts and juries
knew there was a power to correct errors,
and modify penalties. At hest the right to
inflict death exists in the defense of either in
dividual or social existence, and even then it is
limited to cases where no other alternative
remains to preventthe threatened destruction.
The true policy of the law is not revengeful.
It is designed to prevent crime, and guard
carefully the welfare of society. The absolute
certainty of civil death would be as great a
terror, and a more dreadful punishment to most
men than the doubtful chance of physical
death, as things now exist. There are many
cases which arise where the letter of the law
demands a capital conviction, but in which
the circumstances antecedent to and attendant
upon the crime are such, that the safety of
society does not demand the extreme penalty
of death. We have hid several such cases in
Pennsylvania, where the flimsiest pretexts
of insanity, have been permitted to secure
acquittals, because the jurors have seen no
nearer way to reach justice in the case. Such
a law as this which is now proposed, will
greatly advance the cause of public justice,
and should be passed by the Legislature with
out hesitation.
THE LATE ROYA L II: A 17,111 AGE
The recent marriage of the Princess Royal
of England has been an excessively snobbish
affair. The London newspapers have descend
ed to a variety of minute circumstances in their
details of this interesting affair which are ab
solutely sickening. The charm of royalty and
aristocracy, and the extraordinary deference to
wealth which has been displaytd,exhibit a slay-.
ish subserviency and sycophancy to mere rank
which to us Republicans is absurd in the ex ,,
treme. The jewels, the laces, the frills, the
twelve dozen thick soled boots,the riding whips.
the piece of linen, and the Westphalia haul
presented by some Dutchman, and a hundred
things equally unimportant, have been record
ed with all the importance of .natters of his
torical interest.
In the ranks of British aristocracy, talent,
and genius appear to be matters of but secon
dary consideration. The HOURe of Brunswick
for the past one hundred and thirty years, with
perhaps one or two exceptions has been distin
guished for stupidity, drunkennesss, gluttony
and debauchery, yet these loyal Englishmen
have been as subservient to them, as if they
had been the greatest of statesman, and the
most patriotic of rulers John Bull goes into
ecstacies at a royal marriage, or a royal birth,
and pays for every one of them, al the rate of
a hundred thousand pounds a year, without
grumbling. There is not on the face of the
globe a nation which worships rank like the
Englishman. It is part of his education --
almost of hip religion--to do so. He can't help
it,•and he would not help it it' he could.
The Americans look upon these royal cere
monials in the light of a very expensive
comedy.
Ini recoil lig Decision
The Northern bank of Kentucky ye The Far
mars' Bank of Kentucky. Appeals from the
Fayette circuit court. This was an action by
the appellant against the appellee to recoverslo6,
the principal and interest of a note for $lOO,
purporting to have been issued by the Farmers'
Bank. The appellee, in answer plead that the
note had been fraudulently mutilated and altered
lay some person ; that portions of the note had
been detached and other portions had been sup
piled in order to conceal the mutilation. The
circuit court overruled a demurrer to that an
swer, and to reverse that judgment the Northern
Bank prosecuted the appeal. The court of ap
peals held that the simple statement of these
facts was sufficient to demonstrate that the safe
ty of £ho community and the just rights of the
alike require that the law should interpose the
protection against forgeries and frauds of this
haraoter, the result of which must be inevitable
loss and injury to both. Therefore the answer
constituted a valid defence, and the judgment o
the circuit court was affirmed.

Important, If Trne---A. Chance for the
Bank of Pennsylvania
The Philadelphia correspondent of the New
York Tribune, (not the best authority in the
world,) writes as follows:
A most singular story has obtained currency
here within a week or
,two, which is worth re
producing for the information of your readers
Mr. Thomas Allibono, the distinguished financial
hero of the Bank of Pennsylvania, it is said is
likely to come into possession of a fortune of
two' illions of dollars, in right of his wife, who
is sai• to be one of the heirs of the great Jen
nens estate now about to be distributed in Eng
land among those lawfully entitled to receive it.
This great estate, it may be added in this con
nection, is not a newspaper myth. On the con
trary, it has long been known that such a fund
existed in England, awaiting the appearance of
the true heirs. Late English papers announce
that the true heir has at length turned up in the
Denton of one Joseph Martin, and that au emi
nent law firm at Liverpool, had obtained admin
istration for the heir-at-law from Doctors' Com
mons, to Elizabeth Bunch, otherwise Jennens,
the daughter and heir of John Jennens, of Col
chester, who was the last male heir essential and
heir general of the family. The personal pro
perty alone to which this administration will ex
tend, is supposed to amount to $80,000,000,
while the real estate is even more valuable, the
rental being estimated at $750,000 per annum
The appearance of a direct personal representa
tives of the Jennesses, and the granting of let
ters of administration, has created a profound
sensation in a large circle of high and influential
persons in England, and has ended in the discom
fiture of a host of active claimants and anxious
expectants, who have been for many years seek
ing to obtain a share of this almost fabulous ac
cumulation of wealth. As the owner of all this
property died upward of a century ago, his heirs
have multiplied until the number in this country
is now very large. Should the rumor referred
to prove correct, Mr. Allibone will be possessed
of means sufficient to discharge his indebtedness
to the Bank, and permit it to resume business,
while retaining ample means for his own wants.
I give you the story as 'twas told me, merely re
marking that there are parties who have the
means of being well informed on the subject,
who beliese it to be true.
Pantaloons Without Suspenders.
Professor La Borde, of South Carolina Col
lege, in his recent work on Physiology, says :
As the women have concluded to dispense
with shoulder straps some men, especially
in the city, have thought they would prove pan
taloons can be worn without suspenders. The
men now strut the streets with their pantaloons
tightly buttoned, side with the women whose
skirts or petticoats are tightly bound around
their persons. .Upon a fair few, the evil is the
same in both cases, pressure upon the vital
organs, impairment of their proper action, want
of developement, deformity, disease and perma
turo death. The New York Phrenological Jour
nal says :—" As we walk the streets of our city,
we see scores of boys from twelve to sixteen years
old, with their pantaloons buckled very tightly
around their disconnected bodies, preventing
growth at this rapidly growing age, and the
result is a generation of dyspeptic, pale-faced
puny apologies for men.
TUE NECESSITY Ow RECREATION.—Men of the
firm m t nerves and the most established principle
have need of occasional repose, in order to recruit
their forces, and to recover the due tone of both
body and mind. The stoutest frame is impaired,
and the hardiest virtues grow sickly and tang did
by unremitting exertion—and what Lord Bacon,
says of silence, that it is the rest of the soul, and
refreshes intention, is hero more generally appli
cable; and it is in the silence and calm ofretraat
that all our powers, natural and moral, are re
freshed and invigorated, and made prompt for
farther service.

Another Peep at the Sea Serpent
The following copy of au extract from the
Board of Trade Meteorological Journal kept
Captain Harrington, of the ship Castilian, fr,.til
Bombay for Liverpool, has been published in the
Times :
Ship Castilian, Saturday, December 12, 1857,
North east end of St. Eldeua, hearing nee ti, a est
Dishinee ten miles )
At half past 6 o'clodk P. M. strong br;3e7.-3 to i
cloudy ; ship sailing about twelve miles per heur.
While myself and officers were standing on tin
lee-side of the poop, looking toward the l,land,
we were startled by the sight of a huge marine
animal, which reared its head out of the water
within twenty yards of the ship, when it sudden
ly disappeared for about half a minute, and then
made its appearance in the same manner aga:n,
showing us distinctly its neck and head about ten
or twelve feet out of water. Its head was shaped
like a long nun buoy, and I suppose the diame
ter to have been , seven or eight feet in the largest
part, with a kind of scroll or tuft of loose skin
encircling it about two feet from the top The
water was discolored for several hundred feet
from its head ; so much so, that on its first, al)
pearince my impression was that the ship was to
broken water, produced, as i supposed, by some
volcanic agency since the last time I passed the
island ; but the second appearance completely
dispelled those fears, and assured us that it was
a monster of extraordinary k!tigth, which ap
peared to he moving slowly toward the land. The
ship was going too fast to enable us to reach the
masthead in time to form a correct estimate of lli
extreme length; but, from what we saw from the
deck, we conclude that it must have been two
hundred feet long. The boatswain and several
of the crew, who observed it from the top-galiani
forecastle, states that it was more than deubl ,
the length of the ship, in which case it must
have been five hundred feet Be that as it way,
lam convinced that it belonged to the serpent
tribe. It was of a dark color about the head,
and was colored with several white spots. Hay
ing a press of canvass on the ship at the time,
Was unable to round to without risk, and there
fore was precluded from getting another sight o
this leviathan of the deep.

A Cup of Bitters.
Thoughtleßs people would have the wo
made up of sweet ; they would expunge bizt,7r
substances as useless. When, however, we lwk
into nature's laboratory, we see that bitters have
not been made in vain. The consumption of bit
ter substances by the human family is so great
that it can only be compared to the demand fur
sweets. Bitter substances, like sweets, can be
extracted from a great variety of plants growing
in different parts of the earth.
The purest bitter principle is yielded by th,
quassia tree, so called after a negro named Quns
si, used it with remarkable success in curing
a malignant fever which prevailed at Surinam
Nearly all the bitter plants are called febrifuge,
from their power to cure feve'r. It is not, how
ever, in ill health that bitters are solely used, h t
in ordinary beverages, which are not absolnteny
essential to support life The principal bittler
used in England is well known to be derived from
the hop plant.; in Germany, it is from worm
s., ood ; in Italy, it is from the absinth. In tip.
latter country we see men smoking their cigars,
and if leisurely conversing they drink " bottled
absinth," which, to an English palate, is so bit ter
as to be perfectly nauseous. In the Levant they
eat a sort of gourd or bitter cucumber. Some
of the Biblical interpreters think that this is the
plant spoken of in the second book of Bums,
chap. 5, ver. 39-41, on tasting which for the ft rr
time the people exclaimed to Elisha, "there is
death in the pot," bat on being mixed with meal
there was "no harm in it." In Scotland they
dry and phew the roots of the bitter vetch ;
those roots are also put into their whisky. The
hitter vetch is reputed to have the power of al
laying hunger and thirst for a lengthened period;
but in London the " evening topers " drink tit
ters in the morning to stimulate the appetite.
There are a great many other bitter plants
used in various parts of the world. In Sweden,
the marsh sedum, or wild rosemary, takes the
place of the hop ; and in North America they
have a plant called Labrador tea, which aff trds
a more bitter infusion than the China tea used in
England. Among the other numerous bitters
we must not forget the chamomile, the bitter
which is said to be the only remedy fur night
mare. Marmalade, turnip-tops, and' many ot h o
things, are included among the bitter food whiel
wo eat and relish.
It is not a little remarkable that young pe.
lave a dislike to anything that is bitter, w
elderly persons gen-rally prefer bitter things.
This is just as it. should be; for as life advances
our spiritual self would seem to require a sort of
grease to the wheel, a rosin to the bow, and thip
is well supplied by hitters.
A Scrap for filodtern Philosophers
-An exchange says : Panic and hard times have
forced men to many singular contrivances for the
purpose of raising the "sponduliz," but, of all
the schemes we have heard of, the following
seems to us the most remarkable for its ingenuity
and wickedness—we shall, however, let the vic
timized lady tell her own story :
"This Malteds me, dear Rose, our duck of a preacher,
Ho's cousin, you knew, to the famous Ward Beecher,
Brought to me last week such a duck of u niggi r,
such eyed, teeth and hair—each a nobleman's figure—
Poor fellow—he wile—yes, a fugitive slave,
And wanted a trifle—tlfty dollars—to save
This Noble of Nature from that horrid Turk
Called a Planter—who really would make niggere wo. lc I
My feelings were touched—l paid him the cash,
While a tear Linkled down from the darkel's eye le.h.
So I gave him my cambric, embroidered with lace,
To wipe it away from his beautiful face;
And in the dear Tribune next morning I found
My name and donation were amply renowned.
Now what do you think the vile people say—
That our parson had hired him at so much a day.
And that he's a white washer not far from Broadway,
And that Greeley and Beecher, Neal Dow and th' rest,
With theaelligitive niggera will feather their nest.
CHASING A HAT. —The Worcester Bay State
draws the following life-like picture of dignity
chasing a hat. It is capital :—" By the way,
what is there so derogatory to dignity as chas
ing a hat? We saw a gentleman proc - Jeling up
street the other day in most magnificent manner.
A beautiful :stove -pipe " Leary," and an awful
dignity sat on his brow. Had he been in
interior of Africa, he would have been set up
for a Deity, hat and all. The windis no respector
of persons. It bloweth whithersoever it listeth.
It caught beneath the well turned brim on the
"Leary." Magnificence felt it going, and tried
to prevent it with both hands. But 'twas gone.
Away over curb-stones, gutters and pavements
it flew, on crown and brim. Magnificence gave
chase. Did you ever see the grace with which
a dignified individual tries to run ? A sort of
genteel skip and a hop. Once or twice his hand
was almost upon it ; but fresh breezes wafted it
away. At last it met a hlrse drawing a wagon,
dogged beneath the animal's fore feet, but was
arrested by one of his hind feet striking plump
into it. With this novel shoe the beast made a
few rods, when a vigorous kick sent it flying
over the driver's head, and it fell into the street
a mis-shapen thing ; with a ventilator in it the
size of a horse's hoof. Then it was that mag
nificence stood still and " cussed."

WASHINGTON, February 26.—The Speaker of the

Wolcott, the recusant witness in the new jail, to the
C. S. Attorney of the District of Columbia, to be dealt
with by the Criminal Court, under the law of Con
grass prescribing pains and penalties in the event of
Conviction.
The Union of yesterday morning in replying t
what it calls a temperate protest of the Richmond
Enquirer against the ;Li:mission of Kansas, as a p
issue, says, "it is nu port of our purpose to ildidus ,
the propriety or impropriety of 1101diTIL! those Demo
crats, who oppose the adinlSsmm, to account, an 3 to
enforce against their edicts of ex communication; we
hold no dictational office of the kind ; we are entrust
ed with no such power; we claim simply the right to
discuss the matter; to weigh all the facts of the ease,
and state the conclusions of a fair and candid judg
incnt upon them. The position of the President, and
the strong array of semocratic Senators and mem
bers of Congress on the side of admission, are facts
which go out to the people fur precisely what they
are worth ; They are not conclusive,they do not bind
the party ; though we insist that they are entitled to
great weight with every Democrat, who is called up
on to form his judgment upon the question whether
the admission of Kansas is or not a party measure."
The Union then argues upon the record and merits
of the case. It finds ample testimony by which to
claim party allegiance to the measure of admission
into the Union, and says that the Ex.ocutive has done
his whole duty.

A GREAT MEDICINE ron FEMALES.—Hundreds of
stimulants have been invented and sold, purporting
to be specific in the various diseases and derange
ments to which the delicate form of woman render
her subject. The remit of all these stimulants has
been to impart momentary activity to the nervous Hp,-
tem, and false vigor to the muscles; but this relief
has been succeeded by a depression and prostration
greater than before; and the repeated attempts of in
valids to build themselves by these false remedies,
have finally ended in destroying what little vital or
ganization was left. But in using "Boerhave's Hot•
land Bitters," you will find no such disastrous results.
It is a purely vegetable compound, prepared on
strictly scientific principles, after the manner of the
celebrated Holland Professor, Bosrhave. Under its
influence, every nerve and muscle receives new
strength and vigor, appetite and sleep return, and
finally, perfect health. Seo advertisement in another

SUP' DR. W LAN E'S LIVER PILLS. FLEMING . BROS.,
NtOPILIETORS.—This great medicine bee supplanted all
„?bete for the cure of diseases of the Liver. Its effects are
salutary and speedy, and at the same time so perfectly
-.afe, that it is not surprising it should supersede all others.
Invented by a very distinguished physician of Virginia,who
pActiced iu a region of country in which Hepatis, or LiVer
o , mplaiut, is peculiarly ferruidable and common, and who
held spent years in discovering the ingredients and proper
tiouing their quantities, these Pills are peculiarly adapted
every form of the disease, and never fail to alleviate the
most obstinate eases of that terrible complaint. '4 lthey have
justly become celebrated, and the researches of Dr. M'Lane
have placed his name among the benefactors of mankind.
No one having a mptoma of this formidable complaint should
be without these invaluable Pills. Have you a pain in the
right side, ty der the edge of the rib., which increases with
pres,ure—unable to lie w ith ease on the left side—with oc-,
surnetimeb constant, pain under the shoulder-blade,
trequ,ntly extending to the top of the shoulder? Rely
upon it. that although the latter pains aro sometimes taken
for rheumatic, they all mist, irom die-noes of the Liver;
and if you would have relief, go instantly and buy a box of
Dr. lll'Lltrie's Liver f lie, prepared only by Fleming Bros.,
of Pittabur_h
Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr. AI'LANE'S
CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, manufactured by FLEMING
BRCS., of Pittsburgh, Pa. There are other Pills purporting
be Liver Pi lig, now beffao the public. Dr. Sl'Lane's geuuine

SOAP, manufactured by B. O. tr. J. 11. Sawyer, to.
receives the preference over all other kinds over offered for
family use.
Its advantages over other Soaps are:—lst. It is cheaper
to use ; one pound being equal to three of common rosin
Soap. 21 Half the time need only bo occupied in washing
when this Soap is used in place of other Soap. 3d. Labor
in washing can bo nearly dispensed with, as the clothes
will requite little if any rubbing, able avoiding their wear
on the wash-board. 4th. Ilotling the clothes la unnecessary
when this Soap is used, and hard or salt water answers
equally as well as soft. 6th. Printers, Machinists, Painters
and others, find It far superior to other Soaps. It speedily re
moves grease, tar, paint, printers' ink and dirt from the
hands, leaving the skin soft, and free from chapping.
To avoid the labor of rubbing the clothes, and the use of
the wash-board, the following directions should be followed :
For the washing of eight or ten of a family, take ono
pound of Soap, cat It into shavings, and dissolve in one
gallon of hot water; put the clothes into a tub containing
about tea gallons of warm water; pour in the dissolved
Soap, and stir thoroughly. Let them soak twenty to thirty
minutes, wring out, and rinse in warm water once, cold
water twice. A very dirty wrist-band, or swim, or grease
Bp ts, may require a slight rubbing, but otherwise the
clothes will come out clean and white, without rubbing or
boiling. Cold water may be used in place of hot, requiring
about double time in soaking.
