More Tnonu.r. amomi hik Mohmons. From
various intimation in Western papers, il seems
probable that there will be another disturbance
between some of the citizens of Illinois and the
Mormons remaining in the State. The (Jover
nor either has or is about to disband the trcops
who have been protecting the peace of Hancock
county until the Mormons had removed, and we
now see calls for public meetings of the citizens
appearing in the newspapers. The following
notice we find in the Quiney Whig;
'Anli-Mormon Mrrling ! As the troops are
about tod it band in Hancock county, by order
of the Governor, a meeting of the citizens of A
dams county will be held at the Court-house in
Quiney on Thursday evening, at half patt 7 o'-
dock, to consider the subject of the removal of
the "or won from this Stole,
fjuincy, 111.. April 21. 1 ? 10,
A la r ire portion of the Mormons evince an nn-
willingness to move in fact, extreme poverty
prevents them and the old citizens of Hancock
nre already preparing to compel their departure.
The Quiney Whig says:
"We underbuild that fiov. Ford isdcterniin- j
ed that the Mormons shall comply with the a-i
greement entered into by that people with the
State authorities labt fill, viz: as soon as water
run and grass grew this; spring the Mormons
were to leave the Stato. That has arrived,
and the Mormons nre given to the firr-tof May
to fulfil their agreement. It after that time
the Mormons still remain ir. the State the Gov
t mor will not he accountable for the outrages
thtit ninij lie the consequence.'
Thie its a villanous intimation. It is not c
nmigh that the (Jovcrnor lends bis authority to
the illegal act by which theise people were dri
ven from the State, but he is to be exonerated
troin all censure if now that their numbers are
greatly reduced by emigration, the few who re.

This is a shameful state of things.

some recipes by Dr. Partlett of New York, in
relation to the ue of corn meal, intended for
the P.ritish market, but which may answer very
well in this country. The "baked Indian pod-
dim;" we knnto to lie worthy of all commenda
tionthat is, if we are a judge.
C7 D.vxviu.r Woolen Factory In our ad
vertising I'oliimns will be found the advertise
ment of Messis. Cearhart & Kownover, the pro
prietors ol the ibove factory. We are pleased
to see that they huve established a pluee of depo
sit in Sunbiiry, where wool will be received ami
the manufactured article returned. The pro
dm ts of this establishment we have fi eipiently
seen highly commended. We miht also refer
to a communication in another column, on this
subject. Jtisfioma highly respectable source,
and the writer of which we know to be an able,
competent judge of such matters.
rC Our neighbors of the Sunbiiry Gazette,
having an itching desire to be esteemed the cham
pions of the present State administration, have
assumed to themselves the special guardianship
of the Governor, and all connected with him by
the tics of ollice. Whether they are thus actua
ted by purely patriotic, or interested motives, we
leave for cot jecture. The Gazette says we have
insinuated charges against the Governor, and a
mong others, that he is an anti-tariff man, and
that we dare rot make the chares directly be
cause we can't prove it. As the Gazette is so
extremely anxious to drag the Governor into e
very controversy, in order that it may say a
few words in his praise, we presume, we must
reply, in order to avoid further misrepresenta
tion. We then say that we did not insiinmte
that the Governor was opposed to the tai ifT, but
charge him with the fai t openly and directly,
and we do not see how unv man of common dis
cernment can come to any other conclusion, We I
have long since been satisfied that the present ad
ministration is not a whit more favorable to the
tariff than the Gazette itself, which, to say the
least, could never keep itself above suspicion.
Men are more properly judged by their acts than
by their professions, and by this standard they
should be tried. And this is the proof we shall
adduce. Is it not, therefore, singular that near
ly all the papers ill the state connected with, and
warmly in favor of the present administration,
including the Governor's own organ, the Harris-
burg Reporter, are opposed to the present taiilf,
many of them open and avowed enemies to the
tarilf Among them we uii'ht enumerate the
1'eiinsylvanian in the Fast, the Reilfnrd Gazette
in the South, and the Wilkesbarre Farmer in the
North, with a host of minor satellites scattered
throughout the state, l'esnh s the few anti-tariir
men in the last Icsislutur, were, with scarcely
an exception, the puiticular pets of the adminis
tration. The Gazette says that it is quite recently tiiat
we have become a conveit to the one term prin
ciple. We have cautioned the editor heretolore,
uot to make charges without some kind of proof
to sustain him. Those who have read the Ame
rican know that we have always advocated that
principle, as our files will show. The editor
has thervfoic asserted what was uot the fact, in
tentionally or thiough ignorance. The follow
ing editorial extract, in publishing Mr. Polk's
letter of acceptance, in the American of the (ith
July, 1S4 I, is ul itsidf a sufficient refutation, if
any were necessary :
"4r I'olks letter contains one principal that
is important to the purity of our eb-i Ikmis, and
which wo are pleased to see thm explicitly a
vowed by him. Il is that he u ill nut Lea can
diilutt for re tlection. We have long been con
vinced that the one leriu principal is the only
true one. It is to much too expect any man to
be perleclly honest and ind -p lulunt in the ad
tu in ii-t raliu 1 1 i I" bis duties, when his hopes of a
re-election me to ho inlluenced by the perfor
mance of tho.M duties. Mr. P. ilk has dune the
deuiociacy a great service, in thus, at the out
sfl, establishing this vitul principle as a part ot
his political creed.''
The Gazette is infoimed that we have never
asked the Governor, or any one ronnected with
him in office, for a continuance of office lor our
selves ; nor will any one connected with the Go
vernor say so. Hut this is not the point at isue,
and we again ask the Gazette not to beat about
the bush, by screening itsell behind the Gover
nor, but to come out nianlully, and defend Mr
Foster and his conduct, without fuitber prevari
cation. Cy The break in the canal near Liverpool,
delayed the 0ening of the Susquehanna division
of the canal something later than the time ap
pointed. The water was, however, let in on
Wednesday lust ; but we regret to say that ano
ther break has occurred at the same place, which
will require u lew days to mend.

The rrops the Tariff, and its Effrts.
The whole country seems to be enjoying a
state of unexampled prosperity. Business in
Philadelphia, it is said, was never more brisk.
Furnaces, forges, and manufactories are spring
'ing up in every direction, throughout the whole
commonwealth. Labor is every where in de
mand, commanding the highest wages. The
crops of last year were generally most bountiful,
and the prospects of those of the present are
equally promising. Yet, with all this evidence
of prosperity, there are those who are not satis
fied to let well enough alone who would break
down the tarifr for the purpose of experimenting
upon the theory of free trade ; stop the fires of
every furnace, forge and manufactory in the
country, and involve the whole nation in ruin
and bankruptcy, because these things do not
happen to conform with their own narrow views.
They oppose the progressive improvements of
the age as innovations upon society a principle
w hich, had it been adopted by our ancestors,
some centuries back, might have left us in the
same enviable, and comfortable position enjoyed
by them, so happily described by Hume, who
says the Fnglish nobility, or. holiday occasions,
were wont to lurnish their rooms with clean
straw, or their guests to sit upon. Those who
cannot appieeiate the improvements anil reforms
that naturally follow civilization and the spread
ot intellect, bad better assoeiate themselves with,
and adopt the customs of the real "Native
Americans," the aborigines of the country.

07 The late foreign news shows that Fnffland
is in a state of great excitement, growing nut
of the opposition to the corn law bill and the
Irish coercion bill, now before Parliament. Sir
Robert Peel, it is supposed, will resign. The

affairs at home, without engaging in a war with
us for the Oregon Territory.

red Irom Saxony wool raised in the neighbor
hood of Hauville, which was of superior quality.
The cloths and sattinetts manufactured from our
common wool, were far superior to any 1 ever saw
made in our country factories. The blankets I
examined were of a most excellent quality and
soft linish double width, and twilled. The
Doctor infoi med rr.e that he intended to establish
a place of deposit in Sunbury, w here the wool,
with the directions, can be put, and the ready

It will be seen by the following extract from
the Miners' Journal, that in all probability a rail
road communication will be made between Potts
villeandN. Yoik, before many years. The dis
tance will be 120 miles. If we add SO miles
more between this and Fottsville, it will bring
us within 17(5 miles of that greut commercial
emporium, and when these roads are completed
we shall be able to reach New York in about
twelve hours, and Philadelphia in ten:
"Rail Roao Pioi tb from Tottsvillb to Nkw
York. Our readers are aware that not long since
the rail road extending from F.lizabethtown to
Somerville in the State of New Jersey, was sold
at auction and was purchased by a Company of
Boston and New York Capitalists. ' The Faston
Sentinel says that it is the intention of the Com
pany to extend the road to Kaston anoon as prac
ticnble. They propose to make a Road with very heavy
rails and tracks, sufficient to carry truck boats
laden with coal and Iron. This will bs th shor
test route from the coal-beds of this stats to New
York that there is, by soms 50 miles, on which
coal can be transported to arty great amount, eith
er by canal or railroad, and must of course be a
most productive and profitable concern whon com
pleted. At the recent session of our Legislature a bill
was passed authorizing the construction ofa rail
road from Faston to Tamaqua. In a few years
therefore, there will be a heavy tracked rail road
from the Lehigh and Schuylkill coal regions
directly through, or near Faston, to F.lizabeth
town Point ; thus opening a cheap and speedy
communication, ready for use at all seasons of
the year, not only for coal and iron, but for
freight of all kinds, as well as passengers, be
tween one of the richest, most densely populated
and most variedly productive sections of Penn
sylvania and the great commercial emporium
of the Fnion. This Rail Road cannot fail to
benefit greatly the Pastern portion of the State,
especially those counties throiiah which it pas
ses; our citizens should therefore help forward
the great work by every means in their pow
er. The route by the road from Flir.abetbtown

Meadow and Ha.letoti. usually called the Le
high Coal lields, as well as to Tamaqua, Tus

The committees in the case of Ingersoll
vs. Webster, have not yet reported the result
of their labors. In fact, some days must elapse
before they do, if the reports of their having
sent to Maine and other places for witnesses,
bo true. No efforts will be spared by the com
mittees, to place the whole affair in its proper
light before the country. This, the friends of
Mr. Ingersoll, as well as those of Mr. Webster,
must desire the former gentleman feeling; con
fident of being sustained ir. bis charges, while
the latter is no less certain of having his skirts
cleared of the imputations, by the investigation.
The report, with all the facts connected with the
case, must settle the matter oae way ortheother,
and until itappeais, the justness of Mr. Ingersoll's
attack cannot b determined. There is apparent
ly a scemint; indifference abroad as to the fate
of either, the whole affair hiving been carried on
lu a spirit of illiberalitf little becoming the
dignity of American representatives. Where
the servants of the peopla descend t the common
slang of a blackguard, and desecrate the Halls
of Con gress with language too degrading for a bar
room, they should look for littla sympathy from
a virtuous people. Hut it seems almost impos
sible to legislate tiow-a-days without the use of
such choice and beautiful languagu, as "Ma
lift the It of a toward " ttc.
The business transacted in Congress, the past
week, has been mostly of an unimportant char
acter. The President sent in a message stating
that he bad approved and signed the Oregon no
tice resolutions. An account of the proceedings
you will find in the regular reports.
The Whig party is in a dilemma as to who
shall be their choice for the Presidency in ISIS.
The aspirants in its ranks are too "thick to
thrive," certainly. The great guns of the party
are making bold pushes here, as well as else
where. Some talk about exptdiency and avaihi
hilily, while others declare it as their "purpose to
consult duly only," in the selection of a candi
date. All have their warm and ardent friends.
Clay, Clayton, Webster, and Scott are the most
spoken of, and share a part of the confidence of
the party. Attheepeiiingofthesersion.it was
visible in the political skies, that Gen. Scott
was more favorably looked upon than the other
aspirants, and I believe I expressed such as my
opinion. There has evidently, since that time,
a change taken place. The leaders feel disposed
to cast aside the hero of Lundy's lane, as well
as Webster, and fall back upon their "first.love,"
and run Henry Clay over the course again.
The late celebration in New York, of Mr. Clay's
birth day, plainly demonstrates this fact.
Washington is, undoubtedly, the place of all
places, for rumors. Yesterday it was reported
that news bad reached the city of Gen. Tay
lor's defeat, with 700 Americans killed. To
day the tale is changed. The Mexican army, in
a skirmish with ours, had 200 killed and a great
number wounded. No reliance can be placed
on the many unauthentic repotts put in circula
tion here. From the last news received from
our army, however, a fight with the Mexicans
was set down as almost certain. Mexico de
serves, and she will no doubt receive a thrash
ing from the American army. It is true, Gen.
Taylor's force at present, is not as much by half
as that of the Mexican army, but for all that, it is
believed his noble band will be able to defeat any
quantity of Mexicans.
A report has been in circulation some days,
that Gen. T. was oblidged to shoot a few of his
soldiers for desertion. To-day, in the House of
Representatives, John (2. Adams submitted a
resolution, which was adopted, calling upon the
President for information relative to this matter,
so that if there is any truth in the report, it w ill
not be long kept from the public.

The case of the Commonwealth vs. McCook, on
an indictment on a charge of bribery, which has
been on trial at Harrisburg for several days past,
ami the testimony reported in the Philadelphia
Ledger, was concluded on Saturday last. The
following are the points of the charge of the
Judge, the verdict, fcc.
Ciursre of the e,urt. 1 1 J o'clock, A. M. The
Court again met. Judge Eldred charged the
jury. He said it was an important and new
question one which had not before been adju
dicated by any Court in Pennsylvania. He quo
ted Rlackstoneand Russell on Crimes, as contain
ing the definition of bribeiy, and stated if their
definitions were correct, no one could be con
victed of bribery who was not connected with
the administration of justice. He,'however, read
several authorities and adjucated cases, to show
that the law was now extended to persons con
nected with offices of public trust, and stated
that if these authorities could be relied upon, the
ground taken by the counsel for the defendant,
that legislative bribery was not indictable at
common law, was much too narrow. lie re
marked that the Legislature had also, in some
cases, certain judicial powers. He therefore de
cided that the case before the Court was indicta
ble at common law, and that whatever amount
ed to a public wrong was the subject of indict
ment. The Judge then reviewed the testimony,
and enstructed the jury that if they believed Pi
ollett and Galloway they must bring the defen
dant in guilty.
Thejury retired, and the Court adjourned till
2J o'clock, P. M.
Half-past 2, P. M. The jury returned a ver
dict of "guilty."
Mr. M'Cormick, as counsel for the accused,
now moved an arrest of judgment, stating that
his reasons would be filed with the Court this
afternoon.
The case will come up again, this morning,
for argument.

the Oregon difficulty has been received by Mr.
Pakenbam from his government.
It is very confidently predicted, by certain
prominent Whigs, that Congress will adjourn
without acting definitely on either the Tariff or
Sub-Treasury bills; and it is predicted with e
qual confidence that the Oregon measures will bo
defeatPil, or rendered unnecessary, by an early
adjustment of the difficulties between the two
countries. I do not believe, however, that the
majority in Congress can be induced to adopt
any such course. Whether the Tarilf bill repor
ted by the committee of Ways and Means will
receive the sanction of both Houses at the pre
sent session may be considered doubtful, but that
the bill, the Independent Treasury bill, and the
Oregon measures recommended by the President,
will be passed upon, there appears to be no doubt
among those Democrats who, from their position
in Congress, may be supposed to be qualified to
form a correct opinion. It is the prevailing im
pression that a'l these bills will be passed before
the adjournment.
