The character and condition of the State
in which he lives, and of which, if he be
voter, he,iS one of tho sovereigns, is a subject
upon which every cii.izen should be well in
formed. Every man who exercises the right
ofsoffrage is partially responsible for the gov.
eminent of the state. In order that this
right may be intelligently exercised, eome
knowledge is requisite of the resources,
productions, physical features, institutions,
population, trade, improvements, and history
of the State. So far as we are aware, there is
no one work which affords in a compact and
well digested form, that general and minute
information upon the statistics of our com-
monwealth which is desirable. The fullest
and most accurate information of the actual
condition of the State, is perhaps, to be de
rived now the public newspaper press, but
here the information is necessarily doled out
" here a little and there a littL
piece-meal,—
The Legi-latare would do the State some ser •
vice if it should appoint a commission of coin-
potent literary and seientltie gentlemen to
prepare an accurate account of the general
geogragh:cal features of the State, a brief cote
pendium of its history, its geology, botony,
zoology. soil, climate, character of its popu
lation, its goVernment, finances, productions,
manufactures, mines and trade, and commerce
generally. The information which might he
embodied in such a work, would be available
to advance the p: nerd interests of the com
monwealth, and would do much to dtssipatu
the feeling of selfish local interest which i
various sections f the Slate, Lou frequently
exhibits its It in direct opposition to the
general public good. Such infomation woul
be useful to tlw practical business titan as
well as the student It cannot be denied
that for a. State nearly as large as England.

Conscious that we are ill prepared to do

little else than a compilation, the material

difficult of access, we propose in a series of
three or four articles to give our readers some

!Cy
William Penn is the general reputed ":sun
der of Fennsylvania.' yet it was settled more
than forty years before his advent into A tiler
iea. It was lirst settled by a colony of
Swedes who purchased from the natives the
land upon the western shore of Delaware
Bay and River, from Cape II enlopen to whew
Trenton, New Jersey, now stands. This was
in 1636. .Four years after John Print z, the
Swedish gov rnor, built himself a handsome
house on Tiniemin Island below the mouth of
the Schuylkill,and caused a church to he erect•
ed, which was consecrated in 1646. Few pol%
iticians of the present day when they joke
about the " news from Tinicum," are aware
that it was the " starting place " of Pennsyl
vania, and the residence of its first colonial
governor. We give them this piece of news
from Tinicum." In this vicinity the first
settlers principally established themselves.
The territory was however claimed by the
Dutch West India tlompany, under a grant
from Holland. and in 1654 they subdued the
Swedes, who came under the government of
New Netherlands, now Now York, and thus
was Pennsylvania fur the first time" sold to
the Dutch." In 1664, the English conquered
New Netherlands, and the ) uteli possessions
on the Delaware also fell in'o their hands, and
for several years the country was subject to
the English t ;OrettlOtS of New York. lo 1681,
Pennsylvania was granted by Charles 11. to
William Penn, in consideration of services
rendered and money loaned to the crown by
his father, who was a British admiral. The
charter is still preserved and may be seen in
the office of the Secretary of the Common
wealth at Harrisburg. Four years after the
grant of this charter, the Province contain
ed twenty-two settlements, and Philadel.
phia two thousand inhabitants. Penn sold
his land.at, forty shillings the hundred acres,
with a quit rent of land at forty shilling per
annum forever, and these terms induced a
large emigration. In I /ecember, 1681, Chester
was settled by several companies of emi
grants, and in October of the next year, Pehn
himself landed at Newcastle. Ilis first work
was to establish a government, and
December 4th, 1682, the first assembly in
Pennsylvania was convened. 1 t Bat three days
and passed three laws—a remarkable contrast
with our present legis'ative assemblies. The
first was an act annexing the lower counties
to the province; the second an act naturaliz,
ing the -Swedes, Dutch, and other foreigners
in the province, and the third or " great law "
comprising the laws agreed upon in England
as a general system of jurisprudence. Thus
we see that the first legislature of Penney Iva
nia, annexed territory, naturalized foreigners
and laid the foundation of our syst e m of
common la‘.. In 1684, Penn returned to
England, leaving five i'murnissioners and a
President to administer ,:e Government lle
returned in 1699, having had his proprietary
rights confirmed alter much difficulty, and find
ing that his deputies and the provincial assem•
bly, and agreed to disagree during his absence.
Tbe colonists demanded additional conces.
sions and, privileges, and the intercourse with
the Indians and the question of negro slavery,
were sources of continual trouble and anxiety,
and for nearly two hundred years the peen•
liar institution has been to others besides
William Penu "a source of trouble and anxi
ety." Penn returned to England in 1701, where
he died in 1718. In his time the hound al y
line dispute between Pennsylvania and Marys
land commenced, which was finally netted za
1768 by Mason and Dixon, who were appoin L.
ed Commissioners to run the line, and set lip
a hewn stone at every mile along it, many ,if
which are yet standing. At his death the
children of Penn inherited his interests in
Pennsylvania, which they retained until the
Revolution, when it was purchased by the
Commonwealth for $580,000. In 1784, the
last remaining portion of the territory, not
previously purchased, was bought of the indi
au:;.
It lay in the north west corner of the
State. In 1776. a State Constitution was form •
9d, which continued in operation until 1790,
when another constitution was adopted, which
remained in force until 1838, when the pres
ent constitution was framed by a convention
of the people, and ratified by their votes.
The Governors elected under the Constitu
tion of the State, have been as follows :
Thomas Mifflin, elected three terms.
Thomas McKean, three terms.
Simon Snyder, three terms.
William Findlay, one term.
Joseph Ileister, one term.
John Andrew Shnlze, two terms.
George Wolf, two terms.
Joseph Ritner, one term.
David R. Porter, two terms.
Francis R. Shunk, one term.
William F. Johnson, one term.
William Bigler, one term.
James Pollock, one ,ern.
William F. Packer, elected 1857.
Thus having briefly introduced our subject
by reciting a few points of historical interest,
we shall follow it np by a few remarks upon
the physical formation of the country and its
adaptation to the purposes•. of life, after which
we shall give our readers what rtatistical ins
formation we may be able to gather of its im
mense wealth producing resources. With re
gard to the sources whence our information
shall be derived, we shall take care to select
those upon which the most reliance can be
placed
THE oItaIOCRATIC CONVENTION
This important assembly will convene at
Harrisburg to morrow, and great interest is
manifested by the Democracy iu regard to iti
proceedings. Beyond a doubt the convention
will fully sustain the President in the position
which lie has taken upon the leading politi.
cal topics of the day. The opposition aro
annoyed at this, and when a county conven
tion, here and there, apparently took ground in
opposition to the administration, the Repub ,
lican journals made much of it, and puffed
such movements into undue importance. The
result was as might have been expected, a re.
action,and it will now be found that a very
large majority of the convention, as well as
the members of the Legislature, will cordially
sustain the President. The well known feel
ing of the Democratic members of the Legis-
cure is a fair index of the feeling throughout
the State. The rejoicings of the opponents
over the National DeMocracy, over what they
conceived to be a relaxation of our discipline,
will induce every true democrat to fully and
unconditionally sustain the administration,
and the convention will see to it that the
policy of our party is neither directed nor
duenced by an interested opposition.
Democracy of his own State will cordia
sustain Mr. Buchanan, and those who had
hoped for disc rd in the Democratic ranks are
chagrined at the daily increasing strength of
the administration. Slight ditlerences of opin
ion -- honest differences—will yield to the gen
eral good, and The old Keystone State will
cordially endorse the honesty and uprightness
of her favorite son.
Tll IE POOK
For two or three weeks past, since the cold
weather set in, the doors of our citizens have
been besieged by street beggars to an - unusual
degree. They are mostly women and children,
and do not appear to be imposters, yet we
have seen them coldly turned away with their
wants unsupplied. Those, whose condition in
life is that of competence and comfort, are
too apt to disregard those who sutler poverty.
We have sometimes thought that wealth was
indeed a hardener of the heart, and a blight .
upon the noble feelings of our own nature,
when we have seen those in the full enjoyment
of its luxuries, turning a deaf ear to the chil
dren of want and of misfortune. How many
turn coldly away when they hear the pleading
voice of some ill clad and barefooted child
asking for a penny to buy a loaf of bread."
In the selfish heart the quick thought rises
that the law provides for such assthese--let
them avail themselves of its prOfieinns ; or
perhaps the conscience is quieted by the
thought that perhaps there is deception in the
case. True this may be—often is—the case,
but we have little charity for that cold calcu
lating spirit which would seek for every pre
text to:avoid doing that to which the better
feelings of the soul prompt men, rather than
relax one little of the grip upon the ''almighty
dollar." Let the law of kindness be the
guide to steer by, and do notdepend altogether
upon those laws which at best are but a super
ficial remedy for the biting ills of poverty,
healing perhaps that outward part of the
disease which offends the public eye, but
leaves the pain of poverty untouched, to be
borne in silence. Don't think when you have
paid your poor tax that you have balanced your
charity account on the books of the record
ing angel. The almoners rt our public chars
ities do their duty, but notwithstanding this
individual acts of benevolence have plenty of
scope for exercise. Remember that "it is
more blessed to give then to receive."
ANO l' ER VETO.
We have already spoken in terms of ap
proval of tiovernor Packer's course in witti~
holding his approval to bills of unnecessary
and special legislation. Ho has again, and
wisely exercised the veto power upon an act,
to amend the charter of the Pennsylvania
Asylum, on the ground that the subject was
fully within the jurisdiction of the Courts.—
As in the case of his former vetoes, the Leg
islature has fully endorsed his course, and sus
tamed his action by a vote of 64 to 9. lie
has assumed a bold and manly ground of duty
which is worthy of the warmest public admi.
ration.
l'he Army BIM
By a very large and decided vote the United
States Senate have defeated the proposition
to increase the United States Army. The
commanding general of the army, an officer of
large experience,asks an increase,the Secretary
of War concurs, and the President urges it up
on the Congress as a matter of public necessity.
The Senate says no --the Senate has a right
to say no, and if disastrous results ensue from
their refusal, on the Senate the responsibility
rests.
CONGRESS ought to pass a law to prevent
fist fighting in its legislative halls. It might
appropriately be entitled "An Act relating
to drawbacks."

The news from California is interesting, but
not important. Money was scarce in San
Frandsen, and the receipts of gold from the
interior quite limited. The markets were
again overstocked with all descriptions of
merchandise except flour. In this commodity
some speculation was going on, and prices had
been advanced to a higher figure than had
been demanded since 1853. More than the
usual number of murders and affrays had oc
curred iu various part of the State. At San
Diego, Mr. Cietman, Sheriff of Los Angeles
county, bad been killed by an insane man
named Reed, from Texas. In a subsequent at
tempt to arrest the murderer a regular battle
ensued, which resulted in the killing of the
homicide, his body being riddled with balls.
A thrilling account of the affair is given in the
compilation of the news. A suicide mania
prevailed at San Francisco. No less than
thirteen suicides and attempts at self destruc
tion were perpetrated during the fortnight
previous to the sailing of the steamer. A
duel bad taken place between two French edi
tors. They fought with small swords, and
both were wounded.

but at ono o'clock was cut sia' in the middle of a sea
tence by the announcement of the special order, when
the Kansas dill was taken up.
Mr. Collamor, continuing his remarks of yester
day, said that the only choice allowed by the people
of Kansas was whether they would have slaves or de
slaves. lie alluded to tho Territorial laws, Pud to
several succe sive Governors who were sent out to
administer them, and who have been summarily re
moved because they co .d 1 not perform impossibili
ties, becaase they could not enforee the laws sod yet
do justice to all parties. Ile referred to the Le
compton Constitution, and said that it was idle to
resort to special pleading to hide the fact that the t
instrument was never submitted to the pestle. Pit
had been, they would have repudiated it at ones a- d
forever. The President admits that the whole thing
was a cheat and delusion Ile referred also to the
new political dogma that slave property in its legal
character and tenure is precisely like ether propery,
and to the decision of the nunrisiue Court in this Dreil
Scott case. Ile would not deny that the Supreme
Court might give an opinion concerning slavery
when the question was properly before it, but he re
' gretted that they shou'd have taken advantage of
their position to issue, ex cathedra, an ndorsement
of a political dogma. Endorsers of accommodation
paper seldom find it a profitable business. He then
discussed the nature of property in man, contending
that the only safety for slavery was to make it local,
and asking what will be gained by making Kansas a
slave State'?' The Free State people will soon gain
the ascendency there, even if Calhoun cheats them
out of the Legislat are now; and then when they re

Mr. Pugh gave notice of an amendment that the
people may alter or abolish the form of goveratinnt
in such wanner as they may think proper, so that it
be republican and in accordance with the Constitu
tion.
Mr. Seward got the floor, and the Senate a
journed.
NOTE.--Mr. Pugh's amendment will be uffvred
Mr. Green's substitute fur the admission of lino
and Minnesota together.
The consideration of the bill regulating the pay of
a number of employees of the House, was resumed
and gave rise to an interesting discussi ,n.
Tho House resumed the consideration of Mr. Sew
ard's motion to reconsider the vote referring to the
Committee of the Whole, the Senate bill authorizing
the President to appoint aoy officers affecteu by the
Naval Retiring Board to their former positions.
Mr. Davis, of Maryland, applauded the Retiring
Board for their fearless honesty in impurging the Navy
of rotten material. Be objected to any replacement
of this material, and thought that the administration
would have much to answer for which should place a
man of-war under command of an officer that Board,
endorsed by the last President and Cabinet, had de
clared unfit for active duty.
Mr. Miles contended that the decisions of that
Board in come instances were utterly repugnant to
every sense of justice and fair dealing. The mean
est criminal may look to executive clemency, but not
these dismissed naval officers, who were summarily
stricken down, with their brilliant services wiped out
by a single blow, and now they had no redress, H e
did not believe it necessary to resort to such extreme
measures.
• • .•
Mr. Chapman said that while he would not charge
the Board with conspiracy and corruption, he would
say that they wore surrounded by influences of the
most dangerous character. They were themselves
benefitted by every vacancy they made; by an in
quisitorial process, they struck down gallant gentle
men, and of two hundred who fell under proscription,
not one could toll the cause of his taking off.
Mr. Shernan, of Ohio, opposed the bill, because
the aggrieved parties had opportuuies for a fair trial
before the Naval Courts of Inquiry, and ought to he
willing to abide by the judgment of their peers.
Passing the bill would make the Senate a court of
errors to revise the action of the Naval Board.
Mr. Millson saw no propriety iu entering into the
merits of the Naval Board. The action of that
Board was condemned by the American press, by
the sentiment of the American people, by the resolu
tions of the State Legislatures, by the solemn judg
ment of Congress, and Ly the deliberate, though un
conscious testimony of the Courts of Inquiry them•
selves. He alluded to the harshness and haste by
which the proceedings of the Courts were conducted,
adding that the officers never had a trial.
Without concluding the subject, the House ad
journed.

ing three months' supplies for Johnston's command. ,
As it is a matter of absolute necessity for supplies to
reach him by the first of Juno, measures for that pur
pose were taken by General Scott's order, dated
February 25th. A train of at least six mule wagons
is to be organized with the utmost despatch, at Fort
Leavenworth, to go immediately w th Col. Hoffman
to Laramie, to transport thence to Johoston's com
mand in Utah, commissary stores, men, shoes and
such other supplies as way be known to be much
ueeded; two extra mules, to provide for casualties,
to be taken to each wagon ; the wagons, mu'es end
every thing for this train sill be the best
that can be gathered together at Fort Leaven
worth, or within convenient reach of it. Seven
companies of cavalry, infantry escort beyond Lar.
amie. The train is to be started as early as the 10th
of March. Gen. Scott to the commanding officer at
Leavenworth directs the following to be sent to Gon.
Garland, at New Mexico, by express: "Col. John
ston reports that the Mormons intend intercepting
Capt. Marcy on his return with the mules and horses
he was ordered to obtain in your department; notify
too Captain of this, and see that he is strongly es
corted on his return march, and well provided with
whatever he may require, and you can spare." The
above orders were sent by Gen. Scott by telegraph to
Booneville, thence to the place of destination by
special express. Marcy was expected to leave New
Mexico about the 20th of March
Johnston, in his letters to Scott, says thaLno inci
dont of any military importance had transptied since
his last communication, and the troops are in exct
lent health and spirits. He expresses — fears that
there are not sufficient draught animals ; the greater
number of the soldiers who have been on the sick
list were rendered unfit for duty by frost bite ; fur
this reason Johnston calls attention to the gre it
length of the lino of communication with the arm
and the necessity of providing means of defending
supplies which must be ,ent forward early in spring,
tn..re especially that portion liable to be attacked by
the Mormons. Johnt.ton commends highly the field
works thrown up around Fort Bridger, and has sent
drawings of them to-the Department.
Mr. Douglas, in the course of his remarks in the
Senate today on his resolution calling for italorm4.-
tion relative to Kansas, said that Calhoun is in fists
city, endeavoring to force the Lecompt ta Constituti-n
by withholding facts in the ease; he was making
contradictory statements in the newspapers, but la
not been near the committee nor made any eotituto
nicatioa to them. It was trifling with the dignity .1
the Senate, when a government official can thus bit it
their deliberstions. The returns should have be n
opened eight days after the election, and the result
transmitted to Congress, yet Calhoun still keeps them
shut, in his pocket. Unless we are to be cheat ,
the facts should be shown. How can Senators vote
unders'andingly, when the whole matter is in douitt.
Every day frauds accumulate, forgery mounts t.O
forgery. He then alluded to the frauds in Kickapt.a,
Shawnee and Delaware Crossing, and was proceeding
to denouuee Calhoun, when one o'clock arrived, cut
ting short his speech.
Anti-Leconipion Meeting at Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, Mart h 2.—A hots anti•Lecomp on
meeting is being held to-n.gbt in Smith ‘k NI ti1 , 11•:4
Hall, the room where Buchanan was nominate!.
Every seat was filled. The Hun. Adam N, Biddle,
who presided at the first meeting held in this county
at which was presented the name of Buchanan a, a
candidate f r the Presidency, was chosen Chairmen.
The lion. Stanly M—tthews, United Ste es itistri,•t
Atte' nay, is now speaking. He said: Hate, where
the Cincinnati Platform was adopted, we should re
new our devotion to popular sovereignty ; in the
place where it was originally affirmed and declared.
He defined popular sovereignty to he the princil to
that when Congress organize a territorial government
it should leave the people who are to live under , t
the full and free exercise of government, so far as 's
' consistent with the federal constitution. Let wi, -
ever will, leave popular sovereignty, we propose
remain on the platf,,rui. He contended ,hat slave-y
governed natural laws, population, climate,
products, and he opposed the Lecompton Coast. tuti•
IL:7 the rankest congressional intervention ; the vi .'Lt
tyranny, and destructive to the popular sovereignty.
The people of Kansas never fairly applied for mitni—
sion under it. The matter had been decided by !Le
highest Democratic authority, that of Gov. Waller
and Secretary Stanton.
At nine o'clock, the meeting was still in session.

Marcy reached the vicinity of Santa Fe on the 21
of Fehrurefy,-..._ His trip had been long, attended wi h
the loss of a large number of mules and great hard

would be entirely successful in putting Johnson is

to reach him from the States. Col. Harley, India;

The Legislature would adjourn on the •Ith of Feb

THE CHEMICAL OLIVE ERASIVE
SOAP, manufactured by B. C. & J. 11. Sawyer, r:-
receives the preterence over all other kinds over offer( d for
family use.
Its advantages over other FO3p9 are r—lst. It is ci caper
to use, one pound being equal to three of common rosin
Soap. 2d. Ralf the time need only be occupied iu washing
when this Soap is used in place of other Soap. 3d. Lax;r
in washing can be nearly d speused with, as the clothes
will require little if any nabbing, thus avoiding their wear
on the wash-board. 4th. boiling the clothes is unnecessary
when this Soap is used, and hard or halt water answers
equally as well as soft. sth. Printers, Sllichinists, Painters
and others, find it fur superior to other Soaps. It Eq.cedily re
moves grease, tar, paint, printers' ink and dirt front 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:
•
.. • .
'kr the washing of eight or ten of a family, take one
pound of Soap, cut it into shaving?, and dissolve in ono
gallon of hot water; put the clothes into a tub containing
about tea gallons of tt arm water; pear in the dissolved
Soap, and stir thoroughly. Lot them soak twenty to thirty
minutes, wring out, and rinse in warm water °pee, cold
water twice. A very dirty wrist-band, or seam, or ~grrasu
.Is, may require a slight rubbing, but otherwke the
clothes will comp out clean and white, without rubbing or
boiling. Cold water may be used in place of hot, requiring
about double time in soaking.
