A New Movemfxt. The "side-door" lead
ers a set cf political gamblers who last fall,
whilst pretending to oppose Buchanan, played
into the hands of tho Locofocos sue now en
gaged at a new game, by which they undoubt
edly eipect to antagonize the Americans and
iiopnblicaus and prevent a concentration of all
the forces of the latter upon one set of candi
dates. " They are circuhUing calls for a Slafo
Convention, the true object of which can rea
dily be conj-.vltired, ai d arc using all manner
i f means to induce irnlivi.lur.lj to append their
i,ames, fcopi::g, doubtless, thus to get th?m in
to a position frcm whieh they may afterwards
find it difficult to extricate themselves. Tho
ga'ue is a shrewdly concocted one, and it re
mains to be seen to what extent it will succeed.
Cossecticit Election. The election for
Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Comptroller,
Tnembvrs of Congress and tho Stato Legisla
ture, took place ia Connecticut, on Monday of
Jast week, and resulted in a American-Republican
victory. Alexander Halle, American
Ilepublican, was elected Governor over Sam
uel Ingham, Locdoco, and Alfred Eurnliam
Lieut. Governor. The Comptroller, Trcasu
rcr,and three out of Gve member of Congress,
nre also American-Republicans. The Locofo

hope of success.
SrvMrixG the Statx. It is stated that
Judge Wilmot, has addressed a note to Gen.
Packer, the Locofoco candidate, requesting
him to name a convenient time and place to
begin the canvass of the State, in company.
Should Packer decline, it is the intention of
Judge Wilmot to commence the canvass alona
Bomo time in May, to be continued until the
election.
We have received a copy of a now work
by Emerson Bennett, entitled "The Border Ro
Tcr," from T. B. Peterson, 102Chestnut street.
We have read the book and are sure it will de
light all readers who were pleased with the for
nicr works of its author. It is complote in two
volumes, paper cover, and will be sent free of
postage, on the person wishing it remitting
one dollar to the publisher.
Br: ion am Yovng. The administration will
have to "take the bull by the horns." Brig
ham Young openly delies tho Government to
remove him from hii position as Governor of
Ctah; and it cannot be doubted that he is in
tamest in his determination to retain his
present power.
LETTER TKOM HAKEISB UEGH.
IlARr.nr.CRr;, April 7th, 1557.
Dear Jock sal : Yesterday and to-day have
ben days of sorrow at this place. One of the
brightest ornaments of tho Senate is no longer
among the living. Charles B. Penrose, mem
ber from the city of Philadelphia, died on last
Monday, between two and three o'clock. The
Senate met at 3 o'clock, P. M. and immediate
ly adjourned. Senate met again this morning
at nine o'clock, and his death was officially an
nounced by Mr. Crabb, the colleague of Mr.
Penrose. Mr. Crabb proceeded to remark up
on the worth and character of the deceased in
a way peculiarly affecting, giving evidence
how greatly he felt this solemn providence, by
bis subdued manner, and the deep and touch
ing solemnity of his tone of voice. lie was
followed by several others in eloquent and ap
propriatejremarks, among whom I may partic
ularly mention Mr. Jordan. His remarks were
appropriate, solemn, religious. It was truly
pleasant to sec Senators admonish one another
of the uncertainty of that common end that
awaitctb all, and to see them give evidence of
jvo.ssrssiojr hrt and ?o-i!s like men who hive
not Imd all their nobler instincts corrupted by
political life. Mr. Crabb and Mr. Jordan seem
ed to grieve for Mr. Penrose like brothers.
After the Senate adjourned, speaking to Mr.
Cresswcll, Senator from Blair, he remarked
to, we, I am doubly bereaved. I have just
received a telegraphic dispatch informing mo
of tho death of my brother-in-law."
"Friend after friend deports;
Who has not lost a friend ?
There is no uniou hire of hearts,
That has not here an end."'
Mr. Penrose w?.3 a native of Philadelphia,
but when a young man, settled in Carlisle,
Cumberland county, and from that district, in
1833 was elected to tha State Senate, and re
mained there until 1S3J. In 1838 he was elec
ted Speaker of the Senate. I remember well
his brilliant career in the Senate at that time.
A.Y. Parsons was then a member from Lycom
ing county, and from the village which was my
ratire place and residence. lie attempted to
grapple with this intellectual giant, in politi
cal debate, and wf moet signally floored. Mr
Penrose, since then, removed to Philadelphia,
and has become a good man, and a man of no I
luconsiderahle eminence.
Mr. Penrose was a Christain, "The highest
style of man." After leaving the Senate he
established himself in Lancaster, in the prac
tice of his profession as a lawyer. While there
he was indefatigable in his christian duties as
a member of the Presbyterian church of that
place, showing especially great zeal and inter
est in the welfare of the Sabbath school. This
gave occasion, at one tinie to some pleasant
remarks of Th.ad. Stephens, who was partial
to a small Baptist church. Mr. Penrose and
Mr. Stephens being particularly intimate as
members of the same political party, and
some one remarking in Mr. Stephens presence
of Mr. Penrose's zeal in the Sabbath school of
the Presbyterian church, Mr. Stephen's re
plied, in a half-joking, half-earnest war, "I
ninst be stirring about for our little Baptist
church. It will not do to let Mr. Penrose out
work mo." Mr. Stephens, however, never did
much foi tho Baptist church, except by con
tributing largely of his pecuniary means.
In 1841, Mr.Penrose was appointed, by Pres
ident Harrison, Solicitor of tho Treasury of
the United States, and continued to fill the of
fice under Tyler. He then settled in Philadel
phia. He was elected to the Senate, from the
city of Philadelphia, last fall, and died at his
post, a martyr to the consciencions discharge
of dutv. at tho nee of G3 rears. He was a
member, and I bcliere a Ruling Elder, in Dr,
Boaidtnan's church.
Mr. Penrose was a Christian gentleman, cour
teous, affable, kind, and honest ; clear headed,
of strong will, and generous nature. I wish
all our public men were as much so. I saw
him in the Senate Chamber on Friday, appa
reullu ir etl '. and rarticularlu cheerful. He was,
attacked with Pleurisy, and died on Monday.
Mr. Souther was one of the committee np
pointed to attend the corpse to Philadelphia.
The following were the resolutions ofl'erid
by Mr. Crabb :
Resolved, That the Senate has learned with
the dec pest sorrow, tho death of its late mem
ber, Charles B. Penrose.
Rewired, That ly the death of Charles B.
Penrose, the Commonwealth has lost one of
her most distinguished sons, and the Senate
one of its most briliant ornaments.
Resolved, That we most sincerely deplore
tlio tleatn ot our late associate, ana feel as
though it had bereft ns of a friend and broth
er ; we bow with humility to this act of an un
scrutable Providence.
Resolved, That on account of the respect we
entertain for the character and memory of our
deceased friend, wc wear the customary badge
of mourning for thirty days.
Resolved, That tho members of the Senate
will attend tho funeral of Mr. Penrose in i
body.
The snowstorm on Monday was very ex
tensive, reaching from Xew Orleans to the
lakes. There was more snow in Tennessee
than with us. In Xew Orleans there was sleet
and rain. In Dunkirk the snow was 18 inches
deep. In this place, the thermometer fell on
last Monday, in 13 J hours, as much as 23 deg.
This is going down at the rate of better than
two degrees an hour.
The election in Connecticut has gone for the
Rcpullicans.
In the city of St. Louis, Winter, the Eman
cipation candidate for Mayor is elected by over
filtccn hundred. The Border Ruffians will
soon have work enough fo do in their own
State without going to Kansas.
In the city of Cincinnati the Democrats
have been beaten.
The Governor has appointed James Arm
strong, of Lycoming county, to be Judge of
the Supreme Court, in the place of Judge
Black. So doubt Judge Armstrong feels much
belter than he did, when he declared, among a
number of Ait Irdhern, in the packet, and on
his way home from this place, where he had
been attending upon a session of that body,
after being defeated in an important case in
which he was interested, by an obscure coun
try minister, "If the intellectual decisions of
tho Supreme Court of Pennsylvania are to be
swayed by forty pages of foolscap, I can write
as much as anv bodv." Let him now beware
of tw foolscap.
The House having passed a resolution on the
death of Mr. Penrose similar to those of the
Senate, the Senate and House both go to Phil
adelphia, Wednesday evening or Thursday
morning, to attend the funeral of Mr. Penrose,
which is to take place on Friday morning.
Yours truly, Crjrs
INTERESTING FROM CHINA.
TUB BOMUAEPMEXT OP CANTON 70,000 MEN
REPORTED KILLED.
Macao, Jan. 29, 1857. All foreign business
is not only suspended, but entirely at an end,
both, at Hong Kongand at Canton. Since my
l ist letter, the greater part of the western su-
bubs of the latter city, in which is situated
nearly all the warehouses, shops, &c, concern
ed in foreign trade, have been consumed. Of
tho total destruction of the foreign factories
you will have heard by my last letter. The
Chinese compute their losses in houses, go
downs, shops, &c, at over 4000 buildings up
to the present time ; and in merchandise, and
tho value of the above property, they state
their losses at $10,000,000 which is probably
not far from the truth.
We cannot, of course, know very accurately
the damage sustained by the city of Canton,
since the bombardment began, 28th October
lakt; but as the latter has been kept up with
more or less pertinacity to within a few days
ago. when the English Admiral retired with
his forces from before the city, it is fair to sup
pose that the Chinese do not over-estimate the
loss in life when they state it at 70,000, of all
ages and sexes. Everything favors this calcu
lation, and it is well known that the streets
are exceedingly narrow, the population of
great density, the means or the power to move
withjn the reach of comparatively few ; while
the custom of closing of the gates of every
elreet during a period of public danger, creates
immense loss of life, by any sudden movement
of the populace.
To say nothing of all the other distresses
which have been riveted upon them, aud which
e inseparable from such a condition of
things, t 'jo total destruction of tho trade of the
place, the intcrrupiion to all the daily avoca
tions of the people, &c, are very oppressive
in their effects. Still, up to the present mo
ment, the Chinese do not make tho slightest
concession. I lie viceroy, i en, m uu uia (un
cial documents, is as firm ot this moment as
he was when the "Arrow" Iorcha was seized
by his officers on tha 8th Octolcr last. The
people, too, are even more bitter and exasper
ated against the English, and perhaps all for
eigners ; and notwithstanding their distresses
and their sufferings, their opposition to every
thing which bears the appearance of reconcil
iation or terms of any kind, is greater than
ever.
Y0ICE OF THE PEOPLE.
- ' A LITTER TO THE PRESIDENT.
For the '-Kaftsnian'i Journal.'
It will doubtless appear strange to you, who
have but recently been inaugurated helmsman.
of the great ship of state of this confederacy,
that one of your fellow sovereigns from your
own native State should thus obtrude himself
upon your notice. However that may be, that
"perfect government" "framed by our fathers,
who were inspired with wisdom by a kind pro
vidence," to which you allude in your inaugu
ral, giants to all tile light to scrutinize the
acts and words of all who may, or may not be
come Presidents; (peradventurc Kansas and
a few other localities where the 'peculiar insti
tution' is dominant, nre exceptions.) Permit
me. therefore, to address you upon a few ques
tions that naturally arise from the perusal of
your recent address. You have taken the
"solemn oath, to execute the duties of the of
fice of President of tho United States, to the
best of jour ability, to preserve, protect and
defend the Constitution of the United States."
I beg you to reflect upon the responsibilities
thus taken upon you. You have sworn to per
form all tho nets" incumbent upon the Presi
dent. You should therefore see that you are
the President, and not sutler a Cushing to
thwart your designs, a Dougl-tj or some oth
er of the species of that animal of Balaam to.
toriety, to lead you tamely by the nose, like
unto your inf'amcus predecessor. You will
bear in mind that you arc not President of
Pennsylvania, or thc New England States, nor
even of the land of Calhoun and of the hero of
the gutta percha, where that institution exists;
but you have sworn to be the President of the
United Slates. You have taken charge of the
great ship of state, and consequently you will
he expected to cut loose from all other crafts,
particularly The Platform built at Cincinnati.
I am pleased to see you "invoke the God of
vour father." for wisdom and firmness to exe
cute your duties, so as to preserve our rr.i:E in
stitutions." ou will not fail to perceive up
on an examination of your Inaugural, a palpa
ble tautology in the use of the word union, in
conjunction with the Constitution. You were
sworn to support the Constitution of the United
States, and not the Union. The Lnion cannot
bo destroyed while the Constitution is main
tained, and while the States are United States.
Preserve the Constitution intact, and union is
consequent. Maintain the Constitution, and
union is inevitable ; for, happily, that docu
ment contains no provisions for the dismem
berment of any State, or for its own dissolu
tion, a ou should be more careful lor the fu
ture in your addresses, and when you come to
the word constitution, let the word "union
slide, for fear you drop the Constitution, and
grasp for ita shadow, the Union, and like the
dog in the fable, lose the substance. By the
by, I would suggest for your consideration two
methods by which you may assuredly prevent
vour re-election. One is to conduct your ad
ministration like unto your predecessor; the
other, to endeavor to carry out the principles
of the Cincinnati Platform ; but in either case
I shall not warrant the attainment of your very
laudable motive, "to live in the grateful mem
ory of your countrymen."
"The happy conception" made by Congress,
to which you refer, may ultimate in convulsive
throes, and may give birth to another of the
Utah family ; and it yet remains to be seen
whether the bantling that so successfully held
Frankliu Pierce and his administration at bay,
shall give to, or receive from, you and yours,
a castigation. I am pained to meet in the pe
rusal of your address, that stereotyped heresy,
and un-American and heterodoxical doctrine
of Squatter Sovereignty "Congress is neither
to legislate Slavery into territory or exclude it
therefrom,'" "but to leave the people thereof
perfectly free to form and regulate their do
mestic institutions in their own way ;" and
then, by way of qualifying the indulgence
granted by the foregoing Bull, you add, "sub
ject only to the Constitution of the United
Slates." Now, as to what you mean by the
"Constitution of the United States," we arc
left ithont your comment. You may proba
bly mean that (inasmuch as the language of the
Constitution does not declare the contrary) the
people of Kansas may, if they choose, estab
lish Polygamy, like their sister, Utah ; or even
cannibalism. If you will take the trouble to
examine the Constitution, you will find that
the Constitution alone is not the supreme law
of the land ; but the language of the Consti
tution is, "This Constitution, and the laws of
the United States which shall be made in pur
suance thereof, and all treaties made, or which
shall be made under the authority of the Uni
ted States, shall be the supreme Imp of the land."
Now, in relation to tho Missouri Compromise,
which was established by Congress, and re
mained the law of the land lor many years, and
was acquiesced in by the entire government
from 120 to 18.34, "and of which as late as
18-15, upon the occasion of the annexation of
Texas, you yourself most nobly held forth that
"you was pleased" with the extension of that
line to the western boundary of Texas, "that
question," the Missouri Compromise, "had been
well decided, and from that moment" Mr. B.
(thou Anr the man,) "had set his foot on the
solid ground then established, and there he
would let the question stand forever." Here
I beg leave to cite you to your own language
declaring your principles, in favor of, anl
rightly recognizing the Missouri Compromise
as the law of the land. How shall we recon
cile this doctrine of vour palmier days, with
that more recently concocted : that Congress
cannot prohibit slavery in the territories ?
Again : I ask you if the law of the Missouri
restriction is ropealed f We admit its repeal
de facto, but not de jure ; for tho Congress
have no Constitutional powers to enact ex post
facto laws, impairing the obligation of con
tacts. I also would have you to consider the
question of Squatter Sovereignty a little more
minutely. From whom do the resident inhab
itants of any of the territories of the United
States obtain the right of occupancy ? Is it
not from Congress, who "have the power to
dispose of and make all needful rules and reg
ulations respecting the territory, or other pro
perty belonging to the liiited Mates?" Ad
mitting tho territory here spoken of to be but
the land, or property ; docs not property im
ply the right of possession 7 Hence the facts
in the case are, that no person or persons, be
they citizens of any of the United States, or
be they aliens, have any right to enter into
any of the United States unless they have a
grant from Congress, (whica Is Ui 'hoIe of
the sovereign people of th" United States in
representation,) investing them w ith such right
of entry and occupancy ,and without such grant
from Congress, you, as a citizeu of Pennsyl
vania, would be but a trespasser. Now. the
sovereignty of one of the citizens of the Uni
ted States does not empower him to exercise
it when he by his removal from the States cea
ses to be a citizen; his citizenship and his sov
ereignty are co-existent. If you should re
move to Europe, or any part thereof, your sov
ereignty would not go with you, and your
rights in the country to which you removed,
would be whatever rights the laws of that
country gave you. The same rights you w ould
have in Kansas, which would be the rights ves
ted in you by a grant of the government by
act of Congress Hence, if Congress have no
right to establish slavery in her territories, the
people resident there cannot, for their powers
cannot exceed the powers of those from whom
they received them ; clso it would be found
that Congress conferred or delegated powers
that she did not have, which would be absurd.
I would advise you to first ascertain what are
the principles of the government of the United
States, and then see that those principles nre
preserved and established. The "peculiar in
stitution" cannot be a national principle that
characterizes our government, for the institu
tion existed prior "to the organization of the
government, and was not established w ith the
government- Ami further, many of the origi
nal States that held the institution when the
government was established, hare since abol
ished it. Query have those States dismem
bered . themselves ? If not, they have not a
bolishcd their national principles. If slavery
is a national principle of the government, then
it is essential that each State belonging to the
government should bo identified with it. But
some of the original States did hot hold the
institution, and some new States have been ad
mitted or nationalized without it. It follows
then that it is not national. What then, yon
ask, is the national principle of the govern
ment ? In answer to which I would first cite
you to the declaration of principles of ?7G,
"that all men are created equal and have cer
tain inalienable rights, among which are life,
Libeutt," Kc. Again, when the Constitution
was made, its preamble, setting forth the prin
ciples thereof, is, "we, the people, to promote
the general welfare and secure !he blessings of
Liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do or
dain and establish," &c., Jtc. Again, the prin
ciples of a government may be found upon its
ensigns. The ensign of our government, you
will perceive, is a column, supported by two
erect chargers, crested by an eagle with ex
tended wings, and underwritten with I'trlur
Liberty, and Independence. You will, there
fore, whenever the declaration of principles
reads that one of the rights of mankind is sla
very, and when the constitution, that docu
ment as yet unpolluted w ith any combination
of letters that you can pronounce Slavery,
when it is made to secure the blessings of
slavery to us and our posterity, and when you
read the word slavery instead or liberty from
our ensigns, and when our nation declares the
peculiar institution national by emblazoning it
upon her national escutcheon then, and then
only, may you establish slavery, or assist
therein, and remain intact from perjury. Fi
nally, my fellow citizen, I would advise you to
act in the capacity in which you are placed
with a deference to the ultimate good of the
nation, preserving the principles of civil lib
erty, and be discreet and wise, if yon can, but
be President yourself, at all hazards ; for most
assuredly is it as requisite for a President as
for a bishop to "rule well his own house,"
though it may not be as requisite that he he
"the husband of one wife." Acquit yourself
like a man, ns becoming a citizen of the "Key
stone State," so that it may not be said of you
that you had exhibited, while at tho "White
House," what Georce, your relative by name
or family, did upon his return, when banished
by the King !
1 ou will believe me. that although I am ac
customed to the luuibcrins business, having
made and-navigated many large rafts of nu
merous platforms, the "Cincinnati platform"
is one that 1 never did run, nor even would I
anv man upon H. It s unsafe ami unsound,
and if in market in 18G0. will remain unsold.
