a good feeling among the mass of those
opposed to the Pierce dynasty, which requires
'only proper encouragement to result in their
concentration upon one common platform ;
yet, at the sama time, there are those who,
having points "of their own to gain, are pre
venting, unwittingly it may be, a union of for
ces by their pertinacious adherence to the par
' ticular attitude which thy may have hereto
fore assumed, though its relinquishment would
by no means compromise general principles.
t Wo trust, however, that they will become inv
pressed with the necessity of doing so without
delay. "We are not abla to say whether tho
ogoixtut of the fact or not, that "a
joint effort" was made by "the opposition
members at Ilarrisburg," but such, it would
seem, is the case. The American and Repub
lican members, at their caucus mooting for se
lecting a candidate for U. S. Senator, adopted
tho following as a basis of operations :
'lst. That wc are opposed to tho admission
of any new Slave States into this Union
therefore,
2nd. That Kansas and Nebraska should on-
fca admitted into tho sisterhood as Free
States.
3rd. That we aro opposed to political Ro
manism, or the interference of any foreign ec
clesiastical establishment with tho political
affairs of our country.
"4tb. That tho naturalization laws ought to
be so modified as to correct the evils which
the present system entaib on the country, and
that rigid measures should lc taken to pre
vent the importation of foreign paupers and
convicts."
Public sentiment ia converging to a point,
and the indications are that it will settle upon
something like tho -above. The position ta
ken by the President in his last annual, as well
as bis recent special message, (th. substance

THE PEOTECTIVE rSISCIPLE.
The protection of our mechanical and man
ufacturing interests, is a subject that has at
tracted mueh attention at different periods in
our Republican existence. Practical experi
ence has taught us to a demonstration, that at
no time has our country been in a more pros
perous and flourishing condition than when
our artisan were enabled, by means of ade
quate duties, to compete with those of foreign
countries ; and, on tho other hand, it has been
alike apparent, that when duties were low,
monetary pressures ensued, business stagna
ted, and ruin stared the "bone and siuew" f
the nation in the face though true it may
have been that the National Treasury was well
replenished, which, seemingly, is the only
thing, in the opinion of those who batten at
the public crib, that requires special attention.
It is a fact that cannot be successfully refuted
that the Tariff of 1842 was tho means, at that
time, of placing the business interests of the
country upon a stable and reliable footing, and
during its continuance every branch of indus
try flourished, manufactnries sprang up by
scores, tho coal and iron business prospered
labor commanded remunerating prices, the
products of the farm found a ready sale, and
general prosperity prevailed. After its repeal
these interests lanquished, though, since then,
an almost unbroken concatenation of fortui
tous circumstances have enabled them to eke
out their existence to tho present time such,
for example, as famine abroad, the discovery
of gold in California, (which has supplied us
with the means of liquidating foreign indeb
tedness and meeting the demands which the
surplus of trade against us has created.) and
more recently, tlio failure ol our own crops
and a heavy demand from Europe in conse
quence of the prevalence of the Eastern war,
which has given unusual activity to the pro
duce market au J increased exports ol all kinds
Our importers and dealers being thus enabled
to meet their engagements, for several years
past attention was somowhat withdrawn from
the subject ; lately, however, it has been again
attracting considerable notice, not alone on
account of the singular turn that politics have
taken, but from tho fact which has forced it
self vpon tho pnblic mind, that enterprise on
ly meets its full and just reward where th
manulacturing and mechanical interests aro
festered and sustained in connection with tho
agricultural and commercial. In order to sa
tisfactoriiy illustrate the latter fact, we need
but refer to the condition of tho Southern
States, which, possessing equally as good fa
cilities for manufacturing as their Northern sis-
ters, have made but little progress in thisway,
and arc therefore regarded as uusafe localities
in which to invebt capital, which is there com
paratively worthless, and renders but small
returns. If a proper feeling would manifest
itself in our Southern States, and they could
be induced to lay aside their 1'rcc trade views,
and instead of depending wholly upon their
Slave labor, engage in manufacturing, a feel
ing of amity would soou grow up between them
and the North, which would result in much
good to the country at large, and go far to
strengthen the bonds of the Unien besides
which their cotton would find a ready market
at home, their capital would be at work in
their midnt, employment would be given to
hundreds of laborers, American Industry would
be encouraged, and instead of first exporting
the raw material and then importing the man
ufactured article from England, it would be
converted into goods and cloths, at a reduced
cost, hi our own country. Thus would a le
gitimate taste bo engendered, which would
"give to American labor tho privilege of doing
American work," aud tho benefits which are
to be derived lrom manufacturing, instead of
finding their w;iy into the pockets of English
capitalists, would bo reaped by our own coun
trymen. Pjioscription of Protcstasts and Natives.

AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION.
Mr. Crabb recently submitted to the Senate
several amendments to tho Constitution of
Pennsylvania. The first provides that "no
person born in a foreign land, or who may owe
allegiance to, or is a subject or citizen of a
foreign power or government, and who shall
be naturalized on or after the fourth day of Ju
ly, Anno Domini, one thousand eight hundred
and fifty eight shall be eligible to vote at
any political or public election in this Com
monwealth, until he shall have resided under
tho government of the United States a period
of at least twenty-one years."
The second, that there shall be an addition
al article, to the effect that "the aggregate
amount of debt which may hereafter be con
tracted by the Commonwealth, shall not ex
ceed the sum of five hundred thousand dol
lars, except in the event of war or Invasion by
a foreign power, or domestic insurrection, or
the intended liquidation of tho whole or a por.
tion of tho present indebtedness of tho Com
monwealth, and the money obtained on the
credit of the Commonwealth, by virtue of any
act of Assembly, shall be applied to defraying
the expenses incurred by such war, invasion or
insurrection, or the liquidation of such indebt
edness, and to no other purpose whatever."
The third, that "to pay tho present debt of
the Commonwealth, and any debts which may
hereafter bo contracted in the event of war,
hostile invasion, domestic insurrection, or oth
erwise, the legislature shall, at its next session
aftrthe adoption of this section by the peo
ple, provide by law for the creation of a sink
ing fund which shall continue until said debt
or debts shall be paid : said fund shall be made
from the annual income from the canals and
railroads belonging to the Commonwealth, or
the proceeds of the sale thereof, and from liv.
idends on or sales of stock or other property
owned by the Commonwealth ; the money com
posing said sinking fund shall be invested by
the Governor, in behalf of the State, in the
loans contracted by the Commonwealth, which
loans shall be cancelled from time to time, in
such manner as shall be provided for by law,
and no portion of said sinking fund shall ever
bo applied to any other than ono or more of
the purposes hereinbefore mentioned."
It is further provided by this last article,
"that the credit of the Commonwealth shall
not, in any manner or event, bo pledged or
loaned to any individual, company, corpora
tion or association, nor shall the Common
wealth hereafter become a stockholder in any
company, association or corporation." Also,
that, "the Commonwealth shall not assume
the debt, or any part thereof, of any county,
city, borough, or township, or of any corpora
tion or association, unless such dobt shall have
been contracted to enable the State to repel
invasion, suppress domestic insurrection, de
fend itself in timo of war, or to assist the
State in the dischargo of any portion of its
present indebtedness." Also, that tho Legis
lature shall not authorize any county, city,
borough or township, by virtue of a vote of its
citizens or otherwise, to become a stockholder
in any company, association or corporation, or
to obtain money for, or loan its credit to nny
corporation, institution or party."

A correspondent of the Newark Mercury di
rects attention to a remarkable contrast exhib
ited in two recent trials there. In the first,
Gardanelli, an Italian, stabbed an ollicer, an
American, with a knife, to the heart, while
carrying him to prison on a commitment for
drunkenness, which though informal, tho offi
cer could not well disobey. He was drunk at
the time. There wan evidence that there was
an altercation and a scufiie between them, and
blows were alleged to have Wen passed, but
no other proof was given. There was some
evidence of lying in wait a witness alleging
that on their way up to jail, a long distance
from the place of the homicide, the prisoner
carried in his hand something which the wit
ness thonght a knife but the correctness of
this evidence was earnestly questioned. The
jury under the charge of the Court convicted
the defendant of murder in the second degree,
and he was sentenced to eight years in the
State prison. In the second, McKinney, an
American, in a drunken brawl, in or immedi
ately after a scuffle, in one part of which he
was, by the State's evidence, in great danger
of bodily harm by falling over the bmnisters,
stabs a German keeper of a lager beer srloon,
not in a vital part, he being at the time ex
ceedingly intoxicated, with a knife, drawn
while actually engaged in the scuffle, aud when
n imminent danger of injury from the fall
The man dies from loss of blood. The jury,
after a patient and fair trial, found him guilty
of manslaughter. The Court sentence him to
the utmost limit of the law $1000 fine and
tex -cars imprisonment.
Some people, when they write. givo melan
choly evidence of desiring merely effect ir-
reiective of cost to truth. The following
from the Pittsburgh Catholic for Jan. 12th,
shows a disregard of fact. It says :

PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATITEE.
Haebiucug, Jan. 23, 1850.
In tho Senate, the joint resolution from the
Ilouse, tendering the thanks of the Legisla
ture to Dr. E. K. Kane, for his discoveries in
the Arctic seas, was then taken up.
Mr. Prico, in a brief speech, commended
the propriety of the resolution. It was a com
pliment highly deserved. Dr. Kano knew
nothing of the intention to pass the resolution
and it would be more grateful to him than an
appropriation from the treasury, or anything
that could be done. He related some of th
sufferings and hardships endured by the expe
dition, and thought the achievments of Dr.
Kane more extraordinary and heroic than
those of any other man now living. The res
olution still pending, the Senate adjourned.
HorsK. Mr. Morris offered a joint resolu
tion relative to the expedition of Dr. E. K.
Kane to the Arctic seas, representing that the
exploiations and discoveries of Dr. Kaue in
those regions, and the energy, intrepidity and
perseverence displayed by him in conducting
the recent expedition, have made valuable ad
ditions to human knowledge, aud attested the
benevolence which prompted and tho skill
which guided said expedition, in such a man
ner as to call forth the ollieial acknowledg
ment and honorable mention from foreign
governments.
The resolution recognizes tho services ren
dercd by the recent expedition, aud tho gal
lant conduct displayed in its management,and
tenders the thanks of the Legislature to Dr,
Kane and the officers and crew under his com
mand, at-the same time concurring with the
Secretary of tho Navy in commending the re
sults ot these expeditions"as worthy the atten
tion aud patronage of tho Government. The
resolutions further request the Governor to
transmit copies thereof to Dr. Kane, and also
to the Senato and Houso of Representatives
of the United States.
Mr. Moi ris made a finished speech in sup
port of tho resolutions, and was followed by
Mr. Wright, of Luzerne, also in their advocacy.
ine resolutions were men adopted by a
unanimous vote yeas t'8, nays 0.

AN INTERESTING DAY IN CONGRESS.
Washisgtox, Jan. 21, 1850.
Sexate. Mr. Clavton presented a commu
nication, which had been received from the
President in Lxccutivo session, and lrom
which the injunction of 6ecrecy had been re
moved, transmitting a copy of the letter of
Lord John Russell to Mr. Crampton, dated
January 19th, 1853, in which it is declared
that the British Government intends to adhere
strictly to the treaty of Washington, of the
10th of April, 1850, and not assume any sover
eignty, direct or indirect, in Central America.
Mr. Clayton moved that the lettei be trans
ferred lrom the Executive to the Legislative
Journal and printed.
- Mr. Clayton then expatiated on the usurpa
tions of Great Britain, and the tortuous diplo
macy of her Ministry, stigmatising it as mon
strous and disgraceful.
Mr. Cass desired to speak, but, not being
well, yielded the floor to Mr. Mason, who
thought that debate now was not exactly pro
per, cither lrom the condition of the question
or that of the country, and before definite ac
tion by the Executive. So far as he had read
the documents, they show a purpose on the
part of Great Britain to disregird the treaty
stipulations of this country. When the ques
tion shall be presented to the Senate or to
Congress in a tangible ferrn by the Executive,
there would be no difference of opinion as to
the incumbent duty of this government.
England will ba held to a strict performance
of her treaty obligations.
Mr. Seward agreed with Mr. Mason that de
bate ought not to be indulged in until the
House is organized ; still he thought there
ought to be no unnecessary delay in the set
tlement of this controversy with England.
Unnecessary delay is indecision, and indeci
sion often loses a good caue, while decision
as often wins bad ones.
Mr. Cass saw no reason why this subject
should not bo fully discussed brfore the
American people. He moved to postpone the
further consideration of the subject till Mon
day next, which was agreed to.
A message was received from the President
of the United States, in which he says that
circumstances have occurred to disturb the
course of iho Government of Kansas, produ
cing a condition of things which renders it in
cumbent on Ii t tn to call the attention of Con
gress to it and urgently recommends the adop
tion of such measures as the exigency seems
to require, lie alludes culogistically to the
principles embraced in the Kansas Nebraska
Act, and the system of government and laws
passed to put it into operation. AVhilt Ne
braska has been successfully organized, the
organization of Kansas had leen long delayed,
attended by serious difficulties and embarrss-
ments, partly from local mal-adimnistration
and partly from unjustifiable interference from
the inhabitants of some of. tho States, with
views foreign to the interests and rights of the
territory. Gov. Reeder, instead of constant
vigilance in the exercise of his duties, allowed
his attention to be diverted from his official
obligations by other objects, himself setting
an example of violation of law and duty, which
impelled the President to remove Inni. He
alludes to the misdirected zeal of the propa
gandist emigration, and the clashing of the
slavery and anti-slavery interests as the cause
ol the mischief, and as emphatically comdemn
the effort to anticipate or force the determin
Htion of that question in this inchoate state

have been the informalities in the election of
members, was, for all practical purposes, a
