BARTHOLOMEW LA PORTE, of .Bradford Co. Veto op iue Pki.ntixcj Bill. We recently mentioned that a bill for craating permanently the ofilco of .State Printer, had passed both branches of the Pennsylvania Legislature. On the 2d inst., Gov. Pollock transmitted a message to the Legislature, vetoing said bill, in which he sets forth reasons which will sat isfy any reasonable man ef the correctness of his course, lie gives statistics showing the cost of printing tor five ycar3 prior to 2811; when the printer was elected by the Lcgisla t ure and not limited, as now, in his prices, from which it appears that the average cost of prin ting per annum was $o2,911 Oo. On the 23d March, 1811, an act was passed, establishing a maximum rate of prices, and provided lor giving the contract to the lowest bidder. Du ring the twelve years in which this law has been in operation, namely, from 1SH to 185, both years inclusive, the average cost to the State of the public printing has been only $20,132 annually, being a decrease, w hen com pared with the five years preceding 1811, of $30,193 03 making a total saving in twelve years, of $111,318 nearly a half of a million of dollars. The law which is now in opera tion, if it is imperfect or liable to abuse, or if it has been abused, can, in the opinion of the Governor, be amended and corrected by pro per legislation ; but tho repeal of it, and the enacting of the new law, aro regarded as being of extremely doubtful propriety, as it is tho't that the bill which has been vetoed would have a tendency to largely increase the cost of prin ting being estimated by such as have exam, ined the matter thoroughly, as high as S-50,000 annually. The Governor is very moderate in his estimates ; yet he presents enough to show that, by vetoing this bill, a large sum of mon ey will be saved yearly to the people ; besides which it thwarts a scheme for filling the pock ets of unscrupulous partizans, and for building up a central Democratic organ at the seat of Government, which was to dictate and control the politics of the State. The people will le joice at finding Gov. Pollock averse to such legislation, which is designed to rob them un der sanction ef law, and that he 5s constantly watching over ana determined to protect their interests. Kassas. Advices from Palermo, Kansas, state that the members of tho Tree State Leg islature, which had assembled at Topeka, are hiding themselves from tho judicial processes which have been issued against them. Soino have fled to Iowa, some to Missouri, and the rest are secreting themselves at home. The Grand Jury of the Circuit Court, under the in t.t ruction of Judge Lccompte, has indicted not only the members of the Legislature, bnt all the judges of the elections ; and it said that bills will also be found against Gov. Kobinson, Lt. Gov. Roberts, and all the executive offi cers. It is apprehended by some that when the Sheriff enters Lawrence to arrest these functionaries, there will bo resistance and bloodshed. But this is mere surmise, and we think that Robinson and the rest of the State officers, if they aro to be arrested, will submit without the least effort at resistance. Uxion State Ticket. In every section of the State tho ticket put in nomination by tho Union Convention thich met at Uarrisburg on the 26th nit., is received with the highest favor. No anti-Administration paper comes to hand that does not speak in' tho most flat tering terms of tho candidates, and its fullest confidence that the ticket will be elected. Tho work goes bravely on." Tisxh Adjournment. Both branches of the Legislature have agreed to adjourn on Tues day next, tho 22d inst. Tho Telegraph says, there is little business of importance now un der consideration but the Erie question and the Banks, and both will haro ample time to test their strength before the day fixed for ad journment.

EUCHAKAW'S BID FOR THE SOUTH, EP-Jf VOTE. From tho Washington Union. " " "Serne discussion having taken place upon the position of Mr. Buchanan on tho Kansas-Nebraska bill we are permitted to copy the fol lowing extract from a letter addressed by Mr. Buchanan to Senator Slidell, dated London, on the 28th of December last, when thero seemed to be no difference as to Mr. B's thorough iden tity with the Democratic party on this, as on all other issues. It will be- seen that Mr. B. speaks of the Kansas-Nebraska bill with Lis u sual frankness and decision. We are confirm ed in our impression, by this letter, that no man, no set of men, and no newspapers, are at all warranted to speak authoritatively for Mr. Buchanan upon this or upon any other ques tion. His own words speak for themselves. The letter of Mr. Buchanan was not, it will be seen, intended for publication, but tho gentle man to whom it was addressed has thought it necessary, after the editorial article in the I nion of Wednesday last, to lay it before the country : , "The question has been settled by Congress, " and this settlement should be inflexibly main " taincd. .. Tho Missouri compromise is gone, " an! gone forever. But no assault should be " made upon those democrats who maintained " it, provided they are now willing in good " faith to maintain the settlement as it exists. " Such an understanding is wise and just in " itself. " It is well known how I labored in compa " ny with southern men to have this line es- tonded to tho Pacific. But it has departed. " The time for it has passed away, and I veri " ly believe that the best nay, the only " mode now left of putting down the fanatical " and reckless spirit of abolition at the North " is to adhere to the existing settlement with " out the slightest thought or appearance of " wavuring, and without regarding any storm " w hich may be raised against it." The Lancaster Independent Whig comments as follows on the foregoing : By tho above it will be seen that Mr. Buchanan has plunged daeply into the turbid waters of the Kansas question, and placed himself along side of Dougla3 and Pierce in the mud of slavery. lie had before occupied conservative grounds, having expressed himself in favor of sustain ing the Missouri Compromise ; but the en chantment of the Presidential meteor has warp ed his judgment, intoxicated his hope and prostituted his principles, lt will be observ ed however, that Mr. Buchanan endorse squat tcr Sovereignty, with a protest. "No assault, (he S3ys) should be made upon those deino crats who maintained the Missouri Compro mise !" He appears sensible of the fact that he is ta king a bold leap after Douglas & Co., and begs lustily for the privilege of endorsing their in iquity. ITe also reminds them of "how I la bored in Company xcilh. Southern men to have the Missouri Compromise line extended to the Pacific." He as proud of he boasts of the bloodless services he rendered the country "in company vcith Southern men," in endeavoring to have that line extended to the Pacific, giv ing to slavery millions of territory that had ever been free 1 Pcrliaps he forgot that Doug las and the South insist that the Missouri Com promiso was unconstitutional and a gross out rage on tho rights of slave owners ! But upon what ground is it that Mr. Bucha nan rests his acquiescence in a "settlement" of this vexed question, which overthrows and destroys the principles in defence of which his former labors were bestowed i M"hy, "the Missouri Compromise is gono" and gone forev er!" "It has departed!" It isnot the ground now taken by the South it is wrong in prin ciple, and au outrage on Southern rights. "The time for it has passed away," aud he "ve rily believes the best and only plan now to put down abolitionism is to adhere to the existing settlement." The principle which underlies the Kansas Nebraska act is approved and endorsed. With great zeal and elacrity he straddles tho hobby of his party, and is ready to ride whithersoever it may go, without rein or curb, for ho verily believes that the repeal of the Missouri Com promise and the introduction of Squatter Sov ereignty "is the best, nay, the only mode left of putting down fanatacism !" Is it not enough that he "verily believes it tho best mode" of keeping his party in power ? Mr. Buchanan is a shrewd man, and has learned wisdom from his experience. In 1812 ho opposed "the sec ond War of Independence," and would have freely opened his veins if one drop of Uemo cratie blood had been in them ; but experience taught him that Federalism would not lead him to power, and ho abandoned it. . In 1815 he denounced "foreign influence," but soon saw that years mnst roll round before tho people could be arotisod to a sense of its evils and ho could not wait, ho therefore aban doned Americanism and rose to power and place. His abandonment, first of Federalism, and next of Americanism, has been rewarded ! Could snch a man find tho slightest difficulty in acquiescing in any measure, however, op posed to his preconceived notions of right, when such acquiescence might lead to his ele vation to tho highest office in the world ? Surely not, and more especially if permitted to enter a proteil that no assanlt should be made upon him for this change. It is amusing to bear somo Locofoco bheets talk about the nominees of the Philadelphia Convention. The Auj says it reminds one forcibly of the Frenchman who had but just taken his first lessons in English. After a short stay in a London merchant's family, ho was called upon by a friend, to whom he wish ed to "show off" in the way of speaking tho new tongue. "I speak Inglis roast beef godam pooding godam whisfcee Patrick by godam." So gabble some of the men allu ded to. "Signed that bill bad man pro Slavery too bad the devil the American party is Fillmore signed it outrageous." As akeitaS at Salem, from Port-au-Praya, Cape de Verds, reports that a crisis was fast approaching there, want and misery prevailing to an alarming extent. By the arrival of a small quantity of food from Brazil, starvation had been prevented thus far, except in a few instances at St. Antonia, by the exertions of tho Governor-General. Their present supply will boon be exhausted, and they will require cutside aisistanco far 3 to K months to ccme. A SOTJTHEEN JOURNAL SPEAKIIT3 OUT. Somo days since the Richmond (Va.) Ameri can thus spoke in relation to tho repeal of the Missouri Compromise': " "AH the political troubles, perplexities and difficulties of every kind, that have taken place in the settlement of Kansas, and the enactment and solution of such laws as aro essentially necessary to the good order and well being of civilized society, are but tho natural results of the iniquitous and dishonest repeal of the Missouri Compromise. The agitation and ex citement growing out of the question of sla very in the Territories of the Union had been amicably adjusted by the Compromise measure of 1SS0, under the Whig administration of Mil lard Fillmore, and the whole country was rest ing in confident security that the vexed ques tion was finally settled, when that unprincipled mountebank and political demagogue, Stephen A. Douglas, under tho imbecile, hypocritical and corrupt administration of Franklin Pierce, ripped up a settlement made by the Patriots and Statesmen, men of lofty intellects and un questioned integrity, and thus re-opened tho slavery agitation, which, if there is any reli ance to be placed in the fears expressed by the leaders of the so- called Democracy, has endan gered the very existence of the Union itself." For this bonest and fearless expression of the truth, it has been called to a severe account by tho Enquirer, the organ of the Virginia Democracy, and denounced in violent terms as unfaithful and untrue to the South. In reply to all which the American says : We did assail Douglas, Pierce and all others, who aided in the ruthless, wanton and unne cessary repeal of a compromise made by states men and patriot?, whoso names aro recorded in the political history of our country asamong its brightest ornaments a compromise that constitutes the chief glory of tho illustrious Claj- a compromise, upon which Texas was annexed to this Union as ono of the States of which it now forms a part a compromise, which all conservative men had supported for a period of 31 years, during the whole of which time the people in all sections of the country had quietly acquiesced a compromise so sa cred in its principles as to fully justify J. K. Polk in tho estimation of all Southern Loco Focos, for signing the Wilmot Proviso in the Oregon bill, and yet, the Enquirer has the au dacity to charge Monroe, Calhoun, Crawford, Wirt, Clay, Lowndes, Pinckney, King, and a large majority of the Southern delegation in Congress at tho lime, with having degraded the South, and to praise Douglas and Pierce, fur having 'blotted out' the degredation. If there be anything "degrading to Southern equality and Southern rights," in the Missouri line, which wo utterly deny, then is it ten fold more degrading, in our opinion, to submit Southern equality and Southern rights to the decision of the squatters who may choose to take possession of so much of our territory as may suit there own purposes, without regard to number or color, and to say whether we of the south are to enjoy our property, or not, in such territory according to their will. If the Enquirer can venture to denonnce such men asthese, whose names we havo mentioned, we are inclined to think it requires no extra ordinary degree of boldness to denounce such trifling creatures as Douglas and Pierce. Tue American Order is .Ism ana The following manifesto, by the President of . the American Order in Indiaua, looks toward a fusion of the Opposition in that State : IxDiASAroLis, April 2, 18o0. To the Members o( the American Party of In diana : At a meeting of the Evecutive Com mittee of the State Council, held at Indianap olis on the 2d day of April, 13-50, after a full expression of tho members upon those ques tions that have divided and distracted the American party in other States, the commit tee unanimously adopted the following sugges tions, and earnestly request tho true friends of Americanism to co-operate with them in carrying out the views of the committee : That, as in 1S51, we stand uncompromising ly opposed to the presont National Adminis tration, and as a party wo stand ready to co operate with any party which aims to put an end to its misrule. Aud, further, we regard tho repeal of the Missouri Compromise an infraction ot the pligetod faith of tho nation ; tho same should bo restored; and,if efforts to that endfaihCon gres3 should refuse, under all circumstances, to admit any Stato into the Union tolerating slavery made free by that Compromiso. Therefore, wc approve of the call for a Peo ple's Conventton, to bo held on tho 1st day of May next, and earnestly call upon the Ameri can party throughout tho State to send a full delegation to that Convention. Wm. Sheets, President. Uxdicnified Judicial Conduct. The tele graph states that Judge Burrbll, of Kansas, is in Washington for tho purpose of consulting the Executive authorities relative to tho course to be pursued towards tho officers of tho Kan sas I rec Stato government. If this be true, it is a great departure from the dicnity of the judiciary to confer with the Executive, which is merely a co-ordinate power of the govern ment. It shows too the dangerous tendency towards centralization, which is one of the rocks ahead in tho future of our country. A Judge should act upon his own responsibility anu unaer tne obligations of his oath, and nev er descend to receive instructions or get his cue from the President. - Any course similar to this involves tho ermine in the mire of pol itics and derogates from the high position of a judicial officer.

Standard furnishes the fol lowing interesting scene as having occurred in Monfordsvillo on the 7th ult. A daguerrean artist, with a Lady represented as being his wife, had been operating in the town aforesaid he taking pictures, she teaching music for some months, and were meeting with great success. On the day named, they were seated at tho dinner table, edifying the natives with the following wonderful dialogue. Mr. Pen- broke, (the gentleman's name,) said : "There seems, my dear, to be some preju tlicc in Kentucky against us Yankees." "Oh, yes," sh replied, "but you and I will leave no grounds for prejudice; we'll clear ourselves, and Mr. Penbroke, allow mo to introduce you to the Sheriff" of Nelson county," said a hoarse voice behind him. The Sheriff, then, upon a warrant, proceeded to handcuff the aforesaid Penbroke and lady. ' The facts arc these : Penbroke had living in the East a wife and one child ; the lady liad living in New York a husband and two chil dren. But Cupid being stronger than law or duty, thejclopcd to the far West, to live as husband and wife ! The man who introduced the Sheriff was the lady's father, who, imme diately on seeing Lis daughter, fainted. He resides in New York, is a man of great wealth, and had lavished vast sums upon Lis only daughter, whom he tenderly loved. ITe had followed them 1,700 miles when he found them. She is young, beautiful and accomplised, and married well, nere, indeed, was a "bank ruptcy of the heart." The guilty pair was placed in a vehicle in company with the wretched father, and arc now "gone East." Female Lynch Law in I.nptaka. About three-fourths of the w omen of Princeton, In diana, held a meeting on the 22d ult., at which they resolved that no more liquor should be sold in that town. On the same day they armed themselves with axes, hatchets, etc., and in a body set to work to mob all the liquor shops and destroy all the liquor. The first shop reached was a placo called "Gollaher s Finish," the burly proprietor of which stood at his door, declaring that he would sell when ever be pleased. He disregarded tho war ning, whereupon the women broke into the fchop with their axes, and destroyed bottles, kegs, barrels, jugs, liquor and all. The liquor dealer had fled at tho commencement of the work. Tho next place reached was a German shop, "Rutentranz's," where the proprietor also refused to pledge himself to sell no more. His lager was speedly emptied iuto the gutter. A number of other shops were then visited, the liquor ferreted out and destroyed, and only ono vender escaped. This was a man named Kolb, who had always boine a very high char acter among his neighbors, as a man who con ducted tho business in the best possible man ner. He gave the required pledge to sell no more, and his liquor was spared. The news papers of that locality publish approvingly long accounts of these proceedings. The Peach Crop. The public will be grat ified at the information given by the Newark Mercury, that from all the peach growing dis trict of its State, the prospects of a large yield were never better than at the present time. Notwithstanding the severe winter and back ward spring, the buds are said to be generally uninjured, and the lingering cold weather will prevent them from swelling prematureiy. Thero is no greater luxury than Jersey peach es, and it is consoling to think that there are indications of a liberal supply during the com ing summer and autumn. In other varieties of fruit, tho prospects of a good yield are rep resented to be very encouraging. Venezuela. By the arrival of the bark Ve nus from Curacoa, advices from Venezuela are received to March 20. In consequence of a serious destruction of property belonging to the Dutch residents at Ville de Coro by the inhabitants of Coro some six months back, the Dutch Naval West India fleet arc at present at Laguayra to gain restitution for tho damages. When the Venus sailed they had not como to terms. In tho event of Venezuela not satisfy ing the claims, the Dutch Commodore has pos itive orders to blockade the Venezuela ports and declare war. Tho issue is doubtful. The Ensign op Nicauaoca. From El Nicu raguense, the official organ of Walker's Gov ernment, we learn that tho flag of Nicaragua was first thrown to the breeze at Granada on the afternoon of Sunday, March 3d. The oc casion was celebrated with military ceremo nies. The ensign consists of three stripes, two of sky blue, with a white stripe in the cen tre. In the midst of the whito is a circular device of the seal of State and the representa tion of seven volcanoes, in token of the vol canic range of Nicaragua. The authorities of Virginia have seized the schooner Maryland, of N. Y., and imprisoned her officers and crew, for refusing to allow the vessel to bo searched for slaves, in accordance with tho law recently passad by the Virginia Legislature. The seizure caused great excite ment at Norfolk, as it was believed slaves were secreted on board the schooner. The Kansas Herald of Freedom, March 22d says : "Our streets aro beginning to bo thron ged with strangers, and present quite a life like appearance again, after the dreary winter. Every boat which comes up tho river has a largo number on board. Pro-slavery men from the South aro hurrying on, and are 'squat ting' on every unoccupied claim they can find." . " " ' Seventeen slaves were manumitted last week in Cincinnati. They were from Logan and Simpson counties, Kentucky, andmost of them were freed by James and G-racy Mcllvane.

The statistical returns of Providence, It.

The Madison (Wis.) Journal learns that the Norwegian population of Dane co. amounts to CG28 persons. They constitute the majority of the inhabitants in several of the towns, and aro industrious and good citi zens. The sword worn by Napoleon Bonaparte at the battle of Marengo, in 1800, was purchased by the Emperor Nicholas in 1800, just half a century after that eventful and bloody battle, for the enormous sum of thirty-two thousand dollars. Horrible.

The Nueccs Valley' pub lished at Corpus Christi, states "that judging from the very considerable number of new farms that have boen opened this spring in the Valley of the Nueces, thero will be at least four times as much corn raised in this and the adjoining counties as during any previous year. Worth Having. An short time since a number of gentlemen connected with the Cen tral Orthodox Church in Lynn, Mass., made a call on their pastor, the Rev. Mr. Sewall, and when tho company withdrew, one of the num ber placed in tho clergyman's hand a package containing over one thousand dollars ($1023,) a present to him from a few members of bis parish and church. The Missing Steamer. The ship Marengo arrived at New York n Sunday from navre, after a very boisterous voyage of 89 days. On the 23d of February, being short of provi sions and water, she put into Fayal, and hav ing been supplied, she sailed again on the 21th, but she brings no intelligence of the missing steamship Pacific, which had been then out 82 days from Liverpool. The St. Louis 'Democrat' of April 2d, S3ys : Somo days ago a terrible and prolonged storm visited a largo district of country bordering on the Lower Mississippi, obliging numbers of steamers to halt on their trips and tic up along the shore.
