Large Salo of Stocks
The sale of the Mining, Bank, Railroad and
other stocks of tho late Charles Avery, which
was made at the Merchants' Exchange on

The Utah Contnalastionvrs
Colonel Ben. McCullough and Governor
Powell, the Commissioners lately appointed
by the President to treat with Brigham Young,
passed through Cincinnati on Wednesday
morning, on their way to the West. No
better men could have been selected for
the important trust committed to their hands ;
and, if it be possible to settle with the rebel
lious 'Mormons, by the use of any other means
than powder and lead we shall soon hear of a
successful arrangement, effected through the
agency of McCullough and Powell. The Ter
ritory of Utah is, and has been for a long
time in a state of rebellion ; the laws of the
United States have been trampled under foot,
and the officers of oar Government insulted
and driven from their posts. Nevertheless, it
is not impossible, but, on the contrary, highly
probable, that the newly appointed Commis ,
sioners, • who are understood to be invested
with extraordinary discretionary power, will
be able to effect a peaceable solution of one
of the most difficult and perplexing questions
ever presented for the consideration of the
Government.
The late news from Utah indicates that
Brigham Young is evidently getting more and
more excited against the army. and is making
a great show of resistance to Col. Johnson,
so far as words are concerned, but notwith
standingthis, the. Mormon troops had all re
turned to Salt Lake City, to winter. There
is said to be destitution in , the city, and con
siderable discontent or fear certainly prevails,
for Brigham Young had furnished over eight
hundred Mormons with passports to go to
California. A mass meeting to sustain Brig,.
ham had been held in Salt Lake Cite, at which
an address to the President was adopted, as
illogical and as scurrillous as the usual pro
dnctions in that quarter. If the Mormons
• are BO unanimous for war, why is it necessary
to hold mass meetings to sustain the prophet ?

Messrs. J. B. Moorehead, 4. E. Kapp, and
Ueo. C. Babb, the appraisers appointed to fix
the amount of datnage sustained by trans

Canal, by reason of the sale of the Main Lim,
have closed theit labors. 'they have made
very low awards in most cases, and in some
instances, considerable dissatisfaction is mani

total of the awards, we understand, foots up

sure it could not be made less than $75,000.

appraisers, selected the right men for the right
place. They were all men of honest purpose
—competent for the duty assigned them,
and have got through with it right speedily.

The Farmers , Union insurance Company
of A them, Pa.
In the matter of effecting insurance upon

business always desires come assurance that
those who undertake to protect his interests
have both the ability and the disposition to
do so. The manner in which the business of
some insurance companies has been conduct

who have made the insurance business a
means of rascality, have Induced great caution
on the part of insurers in investigating into

The Pennsylvania Central Railroad.
t Whatever difference of opinion may exist among
he citizens of various sections of our State as to
the propriety of releasing this road from the tax
on tonnage, we are fully convinced that it is
most admirably managed—we think conducted
with more care and security against accidents
than any road in the country. When one con
siders the region which it traverses, it is almost
marvellous how safe it Is—how extremely rare
are even slight accidents, while none of a fear•
ful character are to be recorded. In passing
over these mountains, either by night or by day,
an accustomed traveler feels hardly more uneasy
than if by his own fireside, and the most timid
women sleep calmly and safely while ascending
and descending the formidable Allegheny moun
tain range in the darkest and dreariest night.
This security, and the assurance of it, which
is imparted to every mind, rest on the convic
tion that careful, sober and skillful men are
in control in every position of responsibility
—that no link in the chain of security is left
unwa,tched—no careless management excused in
any department;. and most important of all,
that each department is controlled absolutely by
its own head, with no conflict of duty or author
ity. The President has_ his own place and du
ties, so the superintendents, agents, conductors
—he who is responsible for the management of
each department, alone employs and directs those
employees—no one else pretends to interfere
with his plans.
it is of course to be expected that the super
intendents and other important officers of such
a company will be carefully selected. Mr. T. A.
Scott, the general superintendent, who resides
at Altoona, though apparently quite a young
man, is a geliLleuptu of rare qualifications for
the post—polite and accommodating in any re
quired degree, yet remarkably energetic, intelli
gent, firm, and effieient in. every respect ; and
that his usefulness has been well appreciated, is
itself one testimony to the goad management
and good sense of the President and Directors.
Of the other officers it is only necessary to say
that they are generally chosen with regard to
qualification exclusively—favoriteism or "influ
ence" being carefully guarded against. While
on some roads, as we are told, each director
presumes to exercise "influence," and inter
fere, when he sei's fit, with the duties of this or
that agent , , he who should attempt such a thing
on our groat Central would learn a useful lesson
in humility, in short meter•.
We hope to see the day, when the feeling of
hostility towards this road which peculiar cir
cumstances have caused in some parts of the
State, will have passed away—when the true
conviction that the whole State is interested in
its prosperity, and mast prosper with it, will
impress itself on the public mind So far as the
tonnage tax is concerned, while we hold that the
continuance of the tax was one of the induce•
ments to the sale of the State works to the com
pany at an almost nominal price, we are yet of
the opinion that since the tax almost necessarily
compels the company to higher fates of freight
than are charged by competing roads, it is hard:-
1y questionable that this tonnage tax is really
paid by the shipper or consumer of freight; and,
in the long run, that we, the people, rather than
the railroad company, are the actual taxees—as
it were, taking our own money to pay a tax
nominally paid to us by the company. But we
may misjudge, and will not discuss the subject
father at present.

SPEECH OF HON. JOHN L. DAWSON,
AW BROWINSVILLE.
At a Democratic meeting in Browsville,
Fayette county, recently held, Hon. John L.
Dawson, the Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee, made a most elo.
quent speech. The following are his closing
remarks, which will be read with much inter
est in this part of the State, where Mr. Daw
son is so well known and so highly esteemed.
We copy from the Genus of Liberty. In
closing his remEuirs, Mr. Dawson said
"Now, my friends, I have shown that by the
passage of the Kansas Nebraska Bill, it was
designed to remove this agitating element of
slavery from the halls of Congress, that with
the organization of tho Territory of Kansas, sl:w
was fully invested with the right to form her in,
Stitution6 in her own way, subject only to tba
Constitution of the United States—that the law
of the Territorial Legislature authorizing tha
election of delegates was a fair and proper law
in accordance with the organic act—that the
convention was therefore a legally constituted
body, and the constitution formed by them was
a legal constitution; that in accordance with a
concurrence of precedents almost uniform, the
convention might have then deemed their labors
complete, and bad the perfect right to claim
from Congress the admission of Kansas into
the family of States, without the submission
to a vote of the people for ratification of a
single provision of her constitution—that the
organic act was the only enabling act required,
and that with the formation of a constitution
re:publican in form, she had fulfilled all the con
ditions imposed by that act, and by the Federal
Charter. I have shown that the slavery clause
was submitted only as a concession to the popu
lar desire, and that the allegation that there
could bo no voting for the clause without voting
for the whole, is a species of special pleading
entirely unworthy of the controversy, inasmuch
as the constitution was not in any other particu
her intended to be submitted, and as the conven
tion claimed that it was complete, and that their
right to put it In operation was beyond dispute.
I have shown, too, that if the opportunity which
wa w a afforded the people to vote, both for the
election of delegates, and for the rejection of
the slavery clause, was not embraced, that upon
every principle of law, of round logic, and of
good morals, their acquiescence iu the action
of others is a just and legal consequsnce.
"I have shown ton that the government of the
United States is a Reprerterdative Republic,- iu
which the will of the people is exercised, not
directly end under such irregular influences as
may sway popular assemblies, but through Rep
resentatives, selected by themselves in accord
ance with the provisions of the fundamental
law—that this great distinctive feature of our
institutions runs through parts of our politi
cal system, muneipal, State, Territorial, and na
ticual. I have shown that it is true, that all
governments are derived from the consent of
the governed, and that it is equally true, that
that consent be ascertained at the ballot-box,
through the medium of representation, under
thejsustrumentality of established law; and as a
complete and crowning answer to all frivolous
and imaginary objections, I have ehown that if
the constitution cf Kansas is not in accordance
with the popular reserved sentiment of her peo
ple, the act of her admission which invests her
with all the attributes of organized sovereignty,
carries with it the right as well as the power of
immediate remedy, by altering, reforming, or
abolishing it in such manner and whenever her
citizens may think proper.
"My friends, au unerring touchstone of the
quality of our intelligence as citizens, and our
devotion to duty as such, is now presented us
in the times. It bas become apparent in the
scenes through which the country has passed
within the last few years, that if we are still to
enjoy the prieelees bletering,s of free government
and institutions based upon equality of rights,
we must return to alo3 al and nuwaVering adhe
rence to law. We commit a fatal oversight if
we forget in the fullness of our national and in
dividual prosperity the lessons which history
continually holds up as our, instruction in
this couneetiou. Popular governments ex
'bled in ancient times, but flourished only s -,
While tlitt people remained iateltigent,and cher•
ietred deep reverence for law. When from sec
tiouel animosity the members of those ancient
commonwealths began to lose sight of the sot.
emu engagenieuts upon which they confederated
together, a mutual want. of confidence succeed
ed; tte vital spirit of system became extinct,
and they naturally fell asunder from the want of
any adequate principle of cohesion. From dis
regard of • law the Republics of Greece and
Rome mased first into anarchy, end then into
despotic governments. All goeornraente up to
that of the British Empire may be said to have
perished from a similar cause.
"The English government has been the most
successful of all for the sole reason that it has
been recognized as a government of law, and has
maintained this character in all its departments.
The English judiciary is independent of the
crown. It is a fixture there, and the light of its
lofty intelligence and purity have been reheated
here. While the English government is the only
approximation on that side of the water to the
form of a representative republic, ours is an im
provement on that system. The elm:wee of our
experiment, which differs chiefly from hers 'in
the extent of the power exercised by the e;eopla
through their representatives, is in the same pro
portion, still more dependent upon a faithful ad
herence, under all eircemstances of prosperous
and adverse fortune, and with all classes of citi
zens, to the precepts of law, in its every appli
cation, municipal and constitutional. By virtue
of this obedience we have ezteuded our territory
to enOl e pee an empire, while our prosperity is
unexampled. In all those great marches of pro
gress which pre eminently distinguished the ago,
our country has participated with brilliant re
nown. With political institutions which in ex
cellence surpass those' of any other nation, the
energy of our people is greater in every depart
ment. While the ships of our commerce are
dotting'every sea, the annual productions of our
industrial pbrsuits at home offer marvels to the
contemplation. In the year 1789, in which the
Constitution was launched upon its glorious des
tiny, the aggregate of the exports and imports
of the thirteen colonies, with a population of
four millions, was less in value than fifty millions
of dollars. In 1858, while the population had
increased more than six fold, our commerce had
increased in double that ratio, and became
twelve times as great. In thrit time an Empire
as great as the Roman had been reclaimed from
the wilderness, and the vast results of our in
dustry now outstrip the slow computations of the
economist. ' The values imparted at the saffie
time- to raw materials, by processes in manufac
tures, mining, and the mechanic arts, have been
but little inferior, and in both cases are counted
by hundreds of millions. It is also true all the
time, that while in no country is so large a por
tion of I:berty enjoyed, in none is labor so well
paid. No other on the face of ihe,rglobe can
boast a people eo well fed, so. well dressed, so
well educated, and provided with such noble in-
stitutions of charity and benevolence. We are,
therefore, in all its most important elements, in
the van of modern civilization. Now this high
position has been attained by the institutions
which were founded by the Fathers of the Dem
ocratic party, and transmitted to us through the
integrity of its organization and the fidelity of
its representatives. The party of the preeent
day will fail in its duty to its successors, fail
hopelessly and lamentably-a-if it permits its
great trust to be impaired in its hands. The
time is not far distant when in our rapid career
we shall number fifty States, and a population of
sixty millions. With this prospective view the
necessity for strict constructien and inflexible
devotion to law presents itself with irresistible
force. It is in a strict obedience to all the re
quirements 'of the fundamental law, framed with
so much wisdom by our ancestors, that the only
hope for the continuance of the Federal Union
exists, and upon the continuance of that Union
the further progress of civilization and the hopes
of the world may be said to hang.
"In the present sparseness of our population,
andthe vast extent of our territory, there is a
security which will not be found when that con
dition shall have-been changed. Multitudes are
more difficult to govern than small communities.
Government will then be practiced only through
the strict observance of the law.
"We have already experienced the inconveni
ence of a Now England power, and of a South
ern power, and a strong power is now rapidly
rising in the Northwest. Pennsylvania and New
York will, therefore, even more than now, be
looked to al the balance weights in the political
machine—the great conservative element of the
system. Hence the importance of the Demo

of our patriotism.
