LITTLE WILLIE. -
"Willie's gone." As these words fell from
the pale, trembling ' lips of Willie's mother,
the waves of bitter anguish broke in sudden
violence over her heart, and, folding her 'ker
chief to her eyes, she burst into a flood cf tears.
An hour before this, little Willie lay in his
own soft, pillowed cradle. His tiny hands were
clasped gently across his own soft breast. His
features were strangely white, forthe lightof a
purer and holier place than earth was shining
upon them. His partly-closed eyes seemed
gazing away into the blue depths of the skies,
and as he gazed on and on,' a bright smile
quickly passed over his features, and Willie
held up his little hands.
"What does my poor,. Willie want," quick
ly asked his fond, anxious mother, as she bent
over him, and pressed his little hand in her
own. "What does poor Willie want?"
Willie fretted, and cried, and moaned. Wil
lie was very sick. He breathed very hard.
The little cold drops came out on his set brows,
and he moaned and moaned, and again stretch
ed out his tiny hands.
"What is it Willie; What does my poor,
dear Willie want;" again said his mother, as,
slipping her hand softly under him, she took
her dear Willie on her lap.'
Willie cast an anxious, imploring look in
his mother's face, which seemed to say :
"I want to go, mamma."
"And, where does my Willie want to go;"
Ilis eyes tnrued quickly away, and, with a
soft sweet smile, looked up towards the bright
"O! Willie, I cant let you go. Xo, darling!
it would break your mamma's heart," said
thi mother, as she wiped the warm, gushing
tears from her eyes.
Willie looked at his mamma; then- closed
his eves, and moaned and moaned. The moth
er pressed his little hand, and gazed on his
pah', white features, and prayed.
Willie moaned and moaned, and two or three
times gasped and struggled for breath; and
then looked up pitifully, as if saying:
"O! mamma, I want to go. I'm so sick.
in yon bright world there's no pain nor sick
ness. I love you mamma; but I'd like to go
there. I'll be well there, and I'll think of you
often, mamma."
"Xo; dear, dear Willie; I cant let you go,"
and she raised up his aching, weary little head,
and pro-sod him to her breast.
But Willie moaned and moaned, and rolled
his aching head on his mother's knee; and
then looked up again toward the blue, bright
skies, and smiled.
"What does my darling see ?"
"Two bright cherubs coming for Willie."
The mother looked up, too? and a voice said,
"It is I."
"Go, Willie go," and she impressed a long,
last kiss on his motionless lips Willie smiled,
then threw up his tiny arms, and they fell
in death at his side.
"Willie's gone," said the mother, and she
leaned lack iu her seat, and wept as if her
heart would break.
She in;d given him up; but what mother does
not weep, when an Angel-child is taken from
her arms Eddy.

The Tyro no, Clearfield and Erio Railroad.
Philadelphia, Feb. 5, 18-3-5.
Messrs. Eiitoks : We desire to call your at
U-Tition, as public journalists, to a Railroad
project which is now attracting no little no
tice among our Merchants and Capitalists, and
which promises fair to become, at no distant
day, the great avenue of communication be
tween the Eastern Seaboard at Philadelphia
and the great chain of Lakes at the Harbor of
Erie.
We allude to the Tyrone, Clearfield and Erie
Railroad, which, as its title implies, is design
ed to connect Philadelphia with Eric, via the
Pennsylvania Railroad to Tyrone City, thence
through Clearfield and Ridgeway to its ter
minus on tho waters of Lake Erie.
For two years past, the friends of this truly
great and important measure have suffered its
claims as Philadelphia's true and natural
route to the Lakes to remain comparatively
unnoticed, on account of the great monetary
panic which has convulsed our entire country,
and brought about such a wonderful and un
precedented depreciation in all Railroad stocks
and speculations; but now atlairs are bright
ening, and a new year has just dawned upon
us beaming with encourageing hopes of re
newed prosperity and enterprise, and seem
ing to rekindle the energy and ambition af all
those who desire to see our glorious old Com
monwealth and her Commercial Metropolis
what their geographical position and vast in
terual resources so eminently qualify them to
be. We no longer hesitate to give publicity
to our undertaking or to invite the aid and co
operation of your citizens towards the speedy
prosecution of an improvement which must
eventually become the great diagonal iron belt
of Pennsylvania and the binding link between
the city of Pciladelphia and her young but en
terprising Sister, who dwells in such maidenly,
though sometimes rujjlcd, dignity upon our
only corner on the Lakes.
With these introductory remarks, Messrs
Editors, we would invite your attention, as
well as that of the citizens of your city and
county, to a careful consideration of this pro
ject, and to a clear and distinct annalysis ol
the man important advantages which must
result from its speedy construction.
In order to avoid trespassing upon your pa
tience and occupying too much space in your
columns, we will briefly enumerate a few of
the many arguments advanced for the prose
cution of this particular work, leaving others
to be deduced from data already furnished.
In the first place, Messrs. Editors, this Road
will afibrd the shortest and most direct line of
communication between our great Commer
cial Metropolis and the Harbor of Erie.
Secondly, it is essentially a Philadelphia
measure, inasmuuh as it becomes at once the
principal branch of the great main artery in
which that city is a heavy stockholder, and
Thirdly, it is an Erie measure from the fact
alone that it is designed to connect with the
L'arti r at that point thus making the waters
of Lake Erie at your shores the .Northwestern
terminus of the road; thus your city would be
come not only the terminus, but the point of
transhipment of all trade in transit from East
to West and from West to East.
AgaiD, it will require merely the construc
tion of this lateral branch of less than two
hundred miles to enable us to reach the trade
of the Lakes and you to have an outlet to the
ocean; a less distance than is required to be
constructed on any other route, and there
fore, in the next place, the capital required to
complete it and place it in running condition
will be considerably less. Money being an
important item at present, in the construction
of Railroads, this fact is worthy of considera
tion. Again, it will add greatly to the revenue of
the State by concentrating the trade of tfce
Lakes as well as of the immense region drain
ed by those great Inland Seas npon the , Col
umbia and the Pennsylvania Railroads. And
lastly, the local advantages it possesses are be
yond comparison as the line traverses a sec
tion of our State unsurpassed for its mineral
treasures and for its illimitable forests of beau
tifnl and highly valuable timber."
The above are but a few of the many reasons
given why this road should be built, and why
it should receive the hearty co-operation ana
assistance not only of the", termini Philadel
phia and Erie, but likewise of every one truly
interested in the speedy completion of this
great avenue which will give to our city, an
out-let upon the Lakes and enable . her to
struggle to regain her portion of that wonder
ful trade which has been wrested from her,'
nnd which now floats proudly by your owncity
to enrich the coffers of other States. .
. The vast and boundless resources which
form, as it' were, the firm basis of our Com
monwealth, the development of which would
enrich her Treasury, and disseminate wealth
and enterprise and give prosperity to her citi
zens, will, of themselves, prove more than suf
ficient inducements. for the early1 completion
of this great channel along which these now
unappreciated resources will fiow iu one con
stant stream, mingling the current with the
waters of the Lakes and the Ocean. .
As a Philadelphian, deeply interested in
the prosecution of any project which can suc
cessfully contribute-to the prosperity of our
State by the development of its treasuros and
resources, and at the same time cognizant of
the fact that wo annually lose thrcd times as
much as would build this road by our present
nonahility to reach the trade of the Lakes and
afford it a channel to our city, we think the
time has arrived when Philadelphia and Erie,
regardless of former efforts, should unite in
one great desire and with resolute determina
tion to accomplish an undertaking which must
result in such infinite advantage to both.
Geographically situated as these two cities
most certainly are to command the trade of the
Lakes and the West, and possessing advanta
ges throughout our entire State which have
won for it the proud title of tho Keystone of
the Federal Arch, is it not a subject of sur
prise and mortification that they are still with
out the great connecting avennes which now
bind our country as one and cover its surface
like an immense piece of net work ! You will
certainly agree with us, 3Iessrs. Editors, that
it is surprising that our two cities ia their re
lationship arc still without the advantages of
Railroad communication, and that your citi
zens, to reach the Metropolis of their ovrn
State, must per necessity, use New York
improvements, and travel four hundred miles
further than would be necessary were this
road constructed!
In conclusion, Messrs. Editors, we can but
express the hope that your city and county
will give to thFs project the attention and con
sideration which its importance demands, and
that one and all of your citizens will work
with us iu urging it forward to an early com
pletion. - ,
While others war and fight, lot us act the
fox, and seize the fruits. Believing as we
most firmly do, that this road covers the true
course of a Railroad route between Philadel
phia and Erie, an 1 is better adapted to advance
the interests of both, our impregnable ' posi
tion gives silent though unmistaken evidence
that the efforts now being made in its behalf
wiil be crowned with success, and that Phila
delphians and Erians, as well as the people
from Clearfield and Warren, may still visit
each other over avenues lying wholly within
the limits of our iron-bound State."
Hoping you will excuse the length of this
communication, as well as the liberty I take
in addressing it to you, I remain, &c, &c,

To the Se irie trn-i IT use of Rejpreteniafiret :
(textlfmex : 1 herewith retnrn to the
IIouso of Representatives, iii which it origina
ted, bill Xo. 114, entitled "An act authori
zing th-3 election of three supervisors -of the
publlchighwaysin Fiumstead township, Bucks
county." with my objections to the same.
The Legislature htive provided for the elec
tion of supervisors i:i even' township in the
Commonwealth, and th? acts in relation to
roads, highways, &c., foru a system which
has been harmonious in its operation, and pro
ductive of no injurious results. The mere
convenience of localities should not justify a
departure from the principles of a general law,
or bo ivgarJed as a sufficient reason for special
legislation. The bill merges the ofiice of over
seer of the poor in the ofiiee of supervisor to
bo created under it. The abolition of the hum
ble! but useful ofiice of overseer of the poor
cannot be justified. The overseer of the poor
is the creature of a general and most perfect
and humane system of poor laws to which he
acts in obedience, and the harmony of that
system will be interrupted, and the efficiency
of tha office destroyed by the change proposed
i:i the bill.
Special legislation, unless clearly demanded
by the necessities of the case, should not be
encouraged, and particularly as in this in
stance, when it is indirect contravention of a
general law. It mystifies and emban asses the
administration of trie law; it protracts the ses
sions of the Legislature, an 1 crowds our stat
ute books with special enactments for seper
ate counties and townships; and in this in
stance it grants to the parties interested spe
cial priviliges, to which all the citizens of the
Commonwealth are entitled, if benefits are to
be derived from the change proposed, and the
general law sought to be disturbed is defect
ive or oppressive. JAMES POLLOCK.

Ilarrisburg, Feb. 17, 1S-5-5.
A Falsi: Charge. It has frequently been
asserted of late by presses in the interest of
the foreign party, that the American people
are deeply imbued with the spirit of intolerance
and 2'frsecution. A more unjust and unwar
ranted accusation was never brought against a
great and noble-spirited people. Haired of
intolerance and persecution is the characteris
tic of this nation, and is at the bottom of the
present wide-spread opposition to foreign and
papal .influence. " Xot only is every phase of
Christian worship protected by law and public
opinion from molestation, but various systems
of c;i-Christian idolatry enjoy the same im
munity. The Chinese Joss and the Roman
Virgin are worshiped openly "according to
the dictates of the conscience" of their res
pective votaries, and nobody contemplates
any interference with them, except such as
necessarily results from the propagation of
truth and free public discussion. Where, then,
is the justification of those who so loudly pro
claim that the spirit of religious persecution
is rife in the United States I Those persons
who hate persecution so much that they can
accuse their Protestant fellow-citizens of it,
should show their sincerity by. a little more zeal
for the rights of conscience in countries where
religious freedom is suppressed with Swiss
and Austrian bayonets.

General Maeklk, Esq. :
Dear Sir, Permit me to intrude upon you
under my emergent circumstances. I presume
you have already noticed the case of the Flan
nagans now, upon the expiration of two years,
confined at Ebensburg, charged with murder.
But, sir, after an industrious course of perse
verance during the two recent sessions of the
Legislature, we have succeeded in having a
new trial, which will take place immediately j
length of time, with heavy expenses, hasredu
ced my circumstances so much that I am now
necessitated to call upon my political friends.
Then, sir, I wish to instruct you that my poli
tics have been the cause of all. You can, if
you doubt my veracity, ask General James Ir
v in, now a member of Congress, also, Mr. J.
Linton, n. Representatives, what my influence
is : it was by my instrumentality the alove named
gentlemen u-cre elected; if you assist me vow, I
wiil warrant your election. Jtrm a Caiho!icclcr

Tyrone, Clearfield aud Erie Eailroad.
A well written communication, illustrative
of the importanceand feasabilit3T of this enter
prise, will be found in our columns to-day.
The author is a prominent and influential citi
zen of Philadelphia, connected by sympathy
and interest with the commercial class, and
enjoying opportunities of knowing the senti
ments and wishes of its members. The expe
rience of the last few years is not calculated
to inspire us with a tiigh degree of confidence
iu Railroads designed to run to the harbor at
Erie, however respectfully encouraged and
supported; but as this enterprise seems to bo
in good hands in the hands of the tr ie friends
alike of Erie and Philadelphia we are dispo
sed to aid it to the extent of our ability.
It is not designed, we believe, to make the
Tyrone and ClearGcld Road a rival of the Suu
bury and Erie. It is rather intended by it to
strengthen that project, and expedite its con
summation. Aided by the money and influ
ence of the Pennsylvania Central, as it is said
it will be, we can see no insuperable obstacle
in the way of its speedy construction. The
gentlemen who have it in charge arc represen
ted to be the best and most reliable business
men of Philadelphia and the Counties of Cen
tre, Clearfield and Huntingdon men who have
no objects tryromote not identified with the
State to which" they belong, and who feel a pe
culiar interest in the prosperity of the propo
sed termini of the Road. We bid them a hear
ty God-speed intheir endeavors not doubting
that w hen the practicability of the undertaking
shall be made clearly manifest, our citizens will,
with characteristic zeal and energy, take hold
and help it forward. Erie Gazette.
"WIIIGGERY IX DISGUISE."
The old line Democratic papers would have
the people believe that Know Xothingism is
nothing but "Whiggery iu disguise-" If this
be so, how happens it that Democrats are the
champions of the new party in our State leg
islature and in the Congress of the United
States ? Mr. Adams, of Mississippi, a Demo
crat of the strictest sect, has moved to repeal
the.naturalization laws, and boldly sustains
the proposition in the Senate ! In the House,
Judge Smith, of Alabama, now and ever a
Democrat above reproach, has most success
fully vindicated Know X'othingism against the
assaults of Mr. Chandler, who is a Whig an
ultra Whig! Xow if Whiggery f.nd Know
Xoihingism are identical, how came these
gentlemen to get so awfully mixed up ? How
happens it that H7iis oppose and Democrats
advocate the American cause ? We pause for
a reply. Telegraph.
