CLEARFIELD, PA., APRIL 28, 1858.
"Locoroco Meanness! On the ,20th inst.,
the bill for the dismemberment of Judge TTil
mot'S district was acted on in our State Senate,
and carried by a vote of 17 yas to 15 nays.
"We give the vote, so that the people can see
who among Pennsylvania Senators have pros
tituted their high position and manliness in an
attempt to avenge themselves on a man of sn-
perior merit and abilities, out of political con
siderations aloue. Here are the names:' -Yeas
Bell, Brewer, Bnckalew, Craig, Cres
swell, Ely, Evans, Fetter, Knox, Laubacb,
Marselis,Miller, Steele, Straub, Wright, Tur
ney, and Welsh Speaker voted for the abol
ishment of Judge Wilmot's Judicial District.
Nats -Messrs. Baldwin,'" Coffey, ' Finney,
Francis, Gazzam, Gregg, Ilarris, lngram,Myer,
' Randall, Rutherford, Scoficld, Shaeffcr, South
er and Wilkins. - -
a "There is the record, and it should stand to
the everlasting disgrace of every man (?) who
voted yes. It is gratifying to see the names
of Jadge Wilkins, and Messrs. ' Ingram and
.Randall among the pay si Partizan considcra-
. tions were laid aside by them.
On the erening of the 21st, the bill was de
feated in the House. The Telegraph of the
. 22nd says i "The House, last evening, came
nobly to the rescue of legislative honor, which
' was ruthlessly trampled under foot by the Sen-
ate, in the vindictive course pursued towards
. Judge Wilniot. In the consideration of the
- Senate amendment in the House, Messrs.
Gocpp, Armstrong and Jill, all of them lead
ing Democrats, came nobly forward with their
- disapproval of the course pursued by the ma
jority of therr party in'the Senate ; regarding
it as a question which rose superior to all po-
" litical considerations. Mr. Gocpp, the cbair
, man of the Judiciary Committee, declared
that there had been no charges preferred a
gainst Judge Wilmot to justify such action a
gainst him, and that there was no use in trying
to disguise tne fact that toe movement was
one of political persecution. Ji dge Nill and
Mr. Armstrong wero equally severe upon this
attempt to disgrace the Judiciary, and a sec
ond was given to these 'Opinions in the deci
- stve vote of C2 to 33 over 30 Democrats vot
' Ing with the Republican members in this sig
' nal victory of justice and right over the most
disgraceful efforts at petty revenge. All hon
or to the men who thus rose above miserable
partizan trammels." ; '
The following is the vote in the nousc. It
will be seen that Mr. Spykcr added a most
beautiful sprig to his laurels, by voting in the
affirmative.

How is it? The Bill for the formation of
a new Judicial District out of Clearfield, Elk,
Jefferson and Forrest counties, was passed by
both branches of our State Legislature, but is
in all probability killed by a little piece of jug
glery practiced in the Senate. This bill had
beed amended by the Senate with a section
which, if carried, would have legislated Judge
Wihnot out of office, and for which amend
ment we believe, we are mainly indebted to
MrCrcsswcll. The House refused to concur
in the amendment. The Senate .then receded
from its amendment, and to all intents and
purposes the bill was passed. But when the
Speaker of the Senate came to sign it, just
before the close of the session, he mirabile
dictu.' found jthatUhis bill, composed of at
least ten lines, could not bo compared, and
therefore he would not sign it. Here is his
: announcement as it appears in the published
proceedings :
"The Speaker made a statement to the
effect that the bill to form a new judicial dis
trict, failed for the ' want of time to be
compared and signed by the Speaker. It
could not be compared and he declined to sign
it. Ho exhonorated the Clerks of the Senate
from any blame.
Nowe aro curious to know how this all
occurred whether any arrangement had been
previously made'wUh the Speaker to have him
refuse attaching his name," and who the parties
ere." Can Mr. Cressweli tell ? : If he oc any
one. else can explain, they ought to do so.
The Bill for the sale of the State Canals to
the Sunbury & Erie Railroad Company was
signed on the 21st by Gov. Packer, and is
" .now a law. Within a 'few weeks the State
, wiU part with the last remnant of her public
improvements, and it is to be hoped that the
fiew owners will find it a profitable investment.
. The Washington States, a democratic paper,
aaysthat it is currently rumored in the streets
and in public places that two hundred thou
sand dollars has been subscribed to carry Le
compton through the House.
Lecoxptoh. Tho' Lecompton question has
assumed a new phaze in Congress. - .On Tuesr !
day of last week, Mr. English, under the di
rection of Stephens,' Green, and other leaders
of the Southern wing of the Buchanan forces,"
submitted a plan of compromise to the effect,
that the people of Kansas, under the direction
and supervision of a board of pro-slavery offi
cers are to be allowed to hold an election and
vote for or against the proposition of the Sen
ate to admit her into the Union, with the land
ordinance, which, we" believe, appropriates
five million acres, thrown in as a bribe to
vote for the Lecompton Constitution ; but if a
majority vote to reject, then the Territory
shall not be admitted as"a"State""unlit U is
shown, by an official census, to have a popula
tion equal to the the ratio required for a mem
ber of the House of Representatives 03.340.
In terms, however, it does not submit the Le
compton Constitution to the People of Kansas
at all, but merely asks them to vote for or a
gainst, a proposition that the Federal Govern
ment shall give them the five millions of land
for the construction of railroads. If they vote
yea on this question, they shall bo regarded as
accepting the Lecompton Constitution ; but if
they vote nay, that they do not desire to come
into the Union now.' It is a rascally game.
This proposition is, of course, opposed by the
minority of the Committee, on the ground
that it is an abandonment of all that has been
asked for by the opponents of Lecompton in
the House. The report of the conference will
be made as soon as sufficient force is secuied
by the administration to put English's bill
through. Some of the Southern Senators are
kicking in the traces, being unwilling to give
the land bribe for a State which they say would
come into the Union with two free soil Sena
tors. ' ". '
" Forney's Press of April 15th, contains the
following notice of Petersons' Philadelphia
Counterfeit Detector and Bank Note List :
Tho new semi-monthly number for April
loth, Petersons' Counterfeit Detector, published
this day, contains the list of thirty-seven new
counterfeit bank notes, which have appeared
since the issue of last monthly number. . The
best thing is to subscribe to the semi-monthly
issue of Petersons' Detector, and thus get a
copy of it every two weeks. We notice a new
feature in the present number. This is a page
of information on finance, locally and gener
ally, written expressly for this work by ono of
the least visionary, best informed, and most
able, experienced, and practical monetary
writers in this country. It will be continued
in each number ot the Detector, and includes
information on trade, commerce, money, sper
cie, stocks, bonds, banks, and railroads. We
have read every line of tho article, and arc
thus assured of its merit and reliability. The
general contents of the work are admirable,
and every person engaged in business ought
to become a regular subscriber to this Detector
at once. The price of it semi-monthly is on
ly Two Dollars a year ; or monthly, One Dol

Canal Board Abolishing Itself. In con
sequence of the passage of a resolution, by
both legislative branches, forbidding the pay
ment of any money to them for the prosecu
tion of repairs and other work, after tho pas
sage of the bill for the sale of the State Canals
to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad, the Canal
(Commissioners have taken umbrage, and have
given notice that they will cease to exercise
control over said works their hands being
emphatically tied. The Company to whom
the works had been transferred are making
arrangements for the projection and comple
tion of all necessary repairs, and for the suc
cessful operation of these important improve
ments. The defeat f the bill for tho aboli
tion of the Canal Board, therefore, will be
productive of no good to those whose pecuni
ary interests were thus sought to bo carep
for ; and Mr. Buckalew's advocacy of a nec
essity for the continuance of the Canal Com
missioners does not appear to have been well
predicated,-for a Board of Public Works
would bo ablo to accomplish but little with
their hands thus muffled, to keep them out of
the treasury. Harrisburg Telegraph. .
Governor's Mansion at Harrisburg. The
House has ratified the " contract made by the
committee appointed in the early part of the
session, for the purpose of purchasing a man
sion for the Governor. The IIouso is located
next 'to the Presbyterian Church (recently
burned) and the property of Mr. Bevans.
The dwelling is in excellent repair, the pro
prietor having had it remodeled and changed
two years ago. The price paid for the same is
$10,000, including some furniture.
Contrary to the general belief, Mr. James
B. Clay, in his Lecompton speech, declared
that Henry Clay was not the father of the Mis
souri Compromise ; and in a recent latter to
the Boston Mrertiser he avers also that the
paternity of the Tariif Compromise act of 1332
does not belong to that gentleman. If, in ad
dition to these corrections of current belief,
Mr. James B. Clay could convince the world
that Henry Clay was not his father, he would
render a great service to the reputation of that
illustrious statesman.
Ecv. Dudley A. Tyng, the noble Episcopa
lian Minister who was driven from a Philadel
phia church for condemning Slavery, and who
has shown so much evangelism in the revivals

accidental wound received from a thrashing
machine, and dies jn tho morning of life,
much lamented.
Mount Vernon. It is stated that the sale
of Mount Vernon to tho Ladies' Mount Vernon
Association has been made, and $18,000 of the
purchase money paid in cash. Mr. Washing
ton retains possession until a payment of
$75,000 is made, which will probably take

Evening. The Lecomptonites are thunder
struck by their defeat to-day. The Adminis
tration was 'perfectly " confldent'"or'sncccss.'
Messrs. Cobb, Brown, Thompson and other
Cabinet officers were present on tho floor with
the ladies of their families in the gallery to
witness the expected triumph. More discom
fited men never walked out of the Hall of the
House of Representatives than the Lecompton
leaders to-day. Their rage is turned particu
larly against Messrs. Quitman (Miss.), Bonham
(S. C-), Shorter and Stalhvorth (Ala.), and
Hill andTrippc (Ga.), who could not be driven
or pressed into sanctioning Mr. English's con
trivance. . .
An episode on the floor showed the excite
ment 'among the Southern members. . Mr.
Trippe explained his reasons for votiugfora
postponement in opposition to'the majority of
his party in a manly and sensible speech, vin
dicating his personal independence.'.'' Mr. Hill
wished to make a similar explanation, but Mr.
Gartrell, also of Georgia objected.
; "Who objects V inquired Hill, !. turning
toward him.
"I -object," replied Gartrcll,' turning Lis
head in a very haughty manner.
"Wh(jre is your graveyard ?" exclaimed
Hill, rushing at him with great fury. '
Ho was intercepted, however, and Gartrcll
merely said, "Wc will talk of graveyards else
where." '
The Speaker called upon tho Sergeant-at-Arms
to conduct Hill to his seat, and order was
soon restored in the Hall. " ' .'
Mr. Stephens, who prides himself, upon his
fairness and courtesy, of which he boasted
openly in debate to-day, was so disturbed by
this unexposed defeat of .Lecompton that, in
his vexation, ho resorted to fillibustering to
compel an adjournment and gain tune to work
upon refractory members so as to reconsider
the voto to postpone ...
The Republicansanxious to go on with the
public business, resisted the motion to adjourn
until the daj- was exhausted.
Mr. English's bill has been modified from
day to day and from hour to hour. As finally
presented, it is very dillerent from what, it
was two days ago.
- Men were jrot to promise to support it by

was, will probably decline to vote for it as fi

it is difficult to sell them in Flanders at twenty-five

GREAT DISCOVERY OF THE At J E,
IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO CHEWERS
Dr. (tustar LinnnriT s Tax'' lirstorativr Troehrs.
the Great Subtitiite for Tofxicco. It is a well
known and ineontrovertabje fact that the se of
Tobacco is the promoting cause of many of tho
most severe MENTAL AND PHYSICAL disorders
to which the race of man is subject, as eureful an
alasis and long and painful experience have clear
ly proven that it containsccrtain narcotic and poi
sonous properties most dangerous in their effocts.
which by entering into the blood derange tho
functions and operations of the Heart, causing ma
ny to suppose that organ to be seriously diseased.
TORACCO affects also she entire nervous system,
manifesting itself as all wbo have ever used tho
noxious weed will bear testimony in Lassitude.
Nervous Irritability, Water Brash. Dyspepsia, and
many other disorders of a similar character. The
'Taste Restorative Troches'" are dgsigned to coun
teract these baneful influences, and have proved
completely successful in a multitude of cases, and
wherever used. Being harmless in themselves
they exert a beneficial efTeet npon the entire sys
tem, restoring the Taste which has become vitia
ted or destroyed by great indulgence, complete
ly removing the irritation and accompanying tick
ling sensation of the Throat which are always
consequent upon abstaining from the usa of To
baeco, and by giving a healthy tono to the Stom
ach, invigorate tho whole system.
Persons who are irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should uso these Trosbcs immediately and throw
off tho injurious and unpleasant habit of Tobacco
Chewing
These Troches or Lozenges are put up in a con
venient and portable form at the low price of 50
cents per Box. A liberal discount to the Trade.
