THE NEW LICENSE BILL.--The new Li cense bill agreed to•by the Committee of Con ference passed both houses on Saturday.— Next week we will lay this bill before our readers, together with the yeas and nays up on its final passage. This bill will doubtless be signed by the Governor. A SOCRDOLOGER.—Gen. Bowman, of the Bedford Gazette, it seems, has been payirig his respects to the Reverend John Chambers, examining his political doings, &c. This brought out the Divine, who, as usual, applied Iris sarcasm to his adversary particularly and the Democracy generally. The latter were bad spellers—" couldn't spell Whiskey !" To which the Valley Spirit replies," We can prove by WEBSTER that the Rev. John him self can't spell WkIISKY !" People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw dornicks.— The editor of the Valley Spirit spells, reads and writes well, and is a genuine locofoco, to boot. The Spring .Elections Throughout the State, on the 21st ult. the K. N's met with signal defeat. In boroughs and townships where a year ago they carried everything by storm, they are now either en tirely defeated, or else have elected their can-- didates by very small majorities. In the city of Reading, the Democrats elec ted their candidate for Mayor, J. B. Warner, Esq., by a majority of 24 votes. Last year, the Know!Nothings carried the city by about 700 1 In Danville which the K. N's carried last year.by 260, they were defeated by majorities ranging from 300 upwards. At Bristol the Democratic ticket was elec ted by two to one. At Lewisburg the Democratic ticket was elected in the North Ward, which last year was largely IC. N. SAM AND SAALBO.—The editor of the Hart fordSourant, an abolition know-nothing or: gan, insists, with great pertinacity, that Sam and Sambo are one and the same person, or, Useparatebeings, that they are the children of•the same parents, and twin brothers so far as size, looks, and complexion are concerned. After defining his own position at considera ble length, the editor comes to the following conclusions : "We have, then, the two ideas—republi canism and Americanism. Is there clashing between them Not the slightest. They are brothers 3 there is no earthly necessity for the slightest collision. They are a smart pair of Yankee twins; such boys as it would gladden any father's heart to see ; such boys as only a bad man would wish to set a fight ing. Let Sam and Sambo keep i good friends. There is no necessity for jealousy or colli sion." The Fusion Convention. On Wednesday last the delegates to the State Convention held by the Know-nothings, Republicans and Abolitionists, met in Harris burg-127 delegates being in attendance, lacking 6 of a full Convention. They were made up of "black spirits and white, blue spirits and gray," their chief object being a union of all the political isms in the State against the Democracy, for the purpose of obtaining the spoils of office. The disciples of the dark lantern party were largely in the majority, but that majority was one of abolition proclivities. After considerable manceuvreing and voting they succeeded in patching up the following ticket : Canal Commissioner, Thos. E. Cochran, of York county; Auditor General, Darwin Phelps, of Armstrong county; Surveyor Gen eral, B. Laporte, of Bradford county. The speeches made before the Convention were full of freesoilism, and of denunciations of the South. John Williamson, Esquire, having appoin ted himself a delegate to represent his good constituents—or as he would have them, "spavined horses"—was there and made a speech, too, which we give as reported, for the edification of our readers : The next orator ( ? ) was one hro. WIL LIAMSON, of Huntingdon, a notorious old broken down nag; who said that his party could never be made respectable in the north until they throw aside dough-faceism and wax-noseism; niggerdom must be made first and Americanism. auxiliary. We go, said he, for the restoration of the Missouri Compromise; we ought to establish a party that can 'control the country against two hundred and fifty slave holders; ice unite for strength, because we know we are too weak to beat our opponents. I care nothing about the platform our friends may bring down, (the committee was out constructinc , e a platform,) provided we can get the votes to lick the Locofozos. [Tremendous cheering.] We believe the Whig party was impotent to save the country. We went into a party that now has an edge on it, I can tell you.— [Loud applause.] .IQur town subscribers who have chan ged their places of residence should not fail to give notice of the fact to our carrier. kT,A• Important Diiovements of the Old Line Whigs of Pennsylvania. A whig State Convention composed of old liners,- assembled at Media, Deleware county, Pa., on the 17th ultimo. The Convention re solved to stand upon the old Whig platform, and with one voice repudiated the nomina tions of Fillmore" and Donelson ; and, ih . ough there was no action upon it, yet the senti ment was strong that, if forced to a choice be tween Fillmore and Buchanan, Delaware county whigs—once the friends of the former —would go fur Pennsylvania's son. The meeting was addressed by F. J. Hink son, followed by a resolution to appoint a committee to prepare an address to the Whigs of the State, urging them to send delegates from the different counties to meet in Harris burgh, on 'l9th June, in general convention, to consult on the proper course for the whips to pursue in the approaching campaign. A Whig Convention met in Philadelphia on the 13thultimo. The feeling of'the Con vention in regard to the Know Nothing nom inations is shown by the denial of a seat to Mr. E. J. Mintzer, because he said that if the choice lay between "BuqtAkAN and FILL MORE for the Presidency, he would sustain the latter. The Convention - thought that:a man .who was willing`to sustain FILLMORE under any circumstances could not be a true Whig, and , Mr. Mnizzni was compelled to leave. This little episode shows pretty con clusively that the Whigs of Philadelphia pre fer BUCHANAN to, FILLMORE. A motion-was made to publish the • names of the delegates, but Mr. WALL objected.— He did not want to associate with any mem bers of the Conyention who had not Whig principles at heart. He was a Whig and no - thing else. He under Stood that there were _men on this : floor-who had claimed to be Fill more men. He would not associate politi cally with any such men. Wax. 8.. REED, Esq., hoped that the gentle man would not object to having his name published along with the rest.- He thought the gentleman was under a mistake. They had met together as Whigs, and he thought that they could harmonize. They met in an hour of adversity, but .they could remain uni ted as Whigs. He did not think that there were any persons in the convention mean enough to belong to a secret political organ ization and yet claim to be of those who come here as Whigs. MR. SCOTT said he must object to associa- , ling with Know Nothings.- • MR REED hoped the objection would be withdrawn. He was . vvilling to be known as an old line Whig, and he thought the gen— tleman would not object to being associated with him. Mr DRAYTON offered a series 'of resolu- 1 tions, declaring that no new state"formed out of parts of the territory of the U. S. should be refused admission into the-Union, which pre sents itself in accordance with the require ments of the Constitution of the United States —that the Old Line Whigs of the City of Philadelphia deprecate all further agitation of the question of Slavery in the territories-or the adoption of - any act,NVhicla demands, as - a prerequisite for the admission of a new state, the sanction or exclusion of Slavery by its constitution—that we disclaini all connection with Abolitionists, FreeSpilers, or any-other party, by whatever name it may be known, whose object is to effect its measures in !alien of the Constitution of the United 'States; all the compromises and the ~obligatious of which instrument we will maintain, and en deavor to carry out in the spirit in which we are informed, by contemporaneous history, it was understood by those who penned and adopted it, Mr. Reed said that as' far as the opinions of the resolutions went, they met his appro val, but they were defective in one respect, and that was in not repudiating the secret political and proscriptive organization, which sought to deprive good citizens of rights guaianteed to them by the Constitution, He was of opinion that too much attention was paid to national politics, to the neglect of af fairs at home. He wanted energy concen trated on the next municipal election, that the members of the secret order - might besuf focated in the holes to which they had crept. The resolutions should express themselves in regard to this particular question, so that the members of the Convention could be under= stood. He hoped that the Committee would take the suggestions made into consideration. Josiah Randall, Esq., then took the floor, and spoke at length in denunciation of the Know Nothings. He professed himself wil ling to co-operate With any set of men that would adopt the liberal and _constitutional principles of- the old Whig party. Names were nothing, principles . everything. It could not be possible that the doctrine of pro scription—proscribing a man on account of his religious opinions, could receive the sanction of any Whig. Be wanted to know what such men as Washington, Franklin, Jay and other Sages of Revolution, would think, if they could return and witness it. The resolutions were referred to a commit tee, and the Convention adjourned to meet again on Monday. The action of this Convention thus far is significant. It is the determined purpose of the staunch old Whigs of Philadelphia to "suffocate the Know Nothings in their holes. 7 ' So long as Whigs like WAr.B. REED, JosIAH RANDALL and CHARLES GILPIN stand out against Know Nothinaism , the small-beer politicians of the State will labor in vain to effect a combination powerful enough to overthrow the Democracy. The Aimless Enthusiasm of The Pseudo Republicans. Heinrich Heine, the German Wit and poet, in one of his wonderful prosii: Works, speaks of "that vague, barren pathos, that useless effervescence of enthusiasm, which e pliinges with the apirit Of a martyr into an ocean of generalities." The remark suggests to one the spirit and mental condition of the'so-cal led "Republican" party. That party, in one respect, is incomparably ahead of Know- Not hingism. It boasts some very gifted men. It has brains, and cannot be called stupid. There is the brilliant rhetoric of Sumner, the trenchant essays of the Beechers, the stately philosophy of Seward, the-wit of Hale, the earnest power of Greeley. The rank and file of the Republicans are full of fire - arid deiotion—and the Democracy should never forget:This in the coming cohtest.— But -with all their brains, brilliancy, elo quence, and enthusiasm the so-called "Re publicans" woefully lack . practicalness and particularity. They have no specific objects in common. One wants singly the Missouri line restored; another proposes the Wilmot Proviso for all the Territories; a third insists merely on the freedom of Kansas-, still a fourth opposes the admission of any more slave States. If they were in power—which 'will never be—they would fight, and split, - and abuse each other, and go to pieces over any practical - measure. This is easily explained. These soi disant Republicans are not properly a Party. They are a mere outburst of sentiment. They are the mushroom growth of exaggerated speech es, exaggerated 'editorials, arid exaggerated representations. They live, and move, and have their beine t' in. but one idea,- viz : "Slave •ry is an evil." They will not condescend to consider *the Constitution 'and - its Compacts. To search for and observe the'spirit and fidel ities of that testament they regard as truck ling. They are not Politicians—for they ig nore Human nature and its peculiarities; they are not National Patriots—for they insist on interpreting the Constitution to suit their views instead of. loyalty conquering them selves into obedience to it; they are'not States men, for they act regardless of present reali -ties and imminent dangers. The whole strength o this Republican Par ty arises from an utter misappreciation of po sition and feelings of the South. They fume and threaten as if our Southern fello w-citi zeue, weak though they be ire.numbers, re sources and power, were yet imperious mas ters of the mighty and free :North I Regard the Sou th as a. part of our United Nation, so licitions for their rights and interests indeed, .but yet fraternal and kind in their disposition, asking only equal chances, and willing to give as much as they take—and such a view of things, which is sober truth, dissipates all the lurid chimeras of Pseudo-Republicanism, and scatters into nothingness, all their topics of denunciation and agitation. Common sense and a comprehension of the real state and feeling of our Common Country, will con vince any man that this mushroom Party, ba sed upon exaggerations, and living only up on excitement will soon be frozen out by the keen intelligence and healthy patriotism of the American People. From the Washington Union. Never underrAte Your Enemy. Although it is certain that at no period of! its existence has'. the Deinocratic: party had' More genuine-reasons for congratulating itself upon the prospects of the future, and more' right to take credit for honest devotion to: great principles in,its conflicts with the com mon foe, yet this sta:te of things should not inspire over confidence. The great card of Kansas has been, played, and the shrewd gamesters who expected to see in it the open ing of good fortune to themselves must admit that they have utterly failed. Know-Noth ingism has proved to be so shallow a cheat, so empty a subterfuge, so disastrous an in vestment, that its own dupes confess that they are ashamed of it. Nothing' is left, to the oppo - sition but sectionalism, nothing but hostility to the admission of new slave States, nothing but hatred to the 'Federal Constitti tion; but notwithstanding this fact, and not withstanding that divisions and dissensions have impaired their strength, we should not underrate their power. We have seen -them broken before and reunited almost in a day. The cord which binds them together the com mon antagonism to the - Democratic party is not yet severed, and while it remains they will not, despair. Hence the efforts made by Mr. Seward, Mr.,Banks, and others, to bring together their scattered forces ;-hence the at tempt to. compel Mr. Fillmore to abandon the field by threatening him with the loss of the Northern vote. It has been no unusual thing for our adversaries to separate until the very day of the election, arid then suddenly to unite. We have seen them in several of the Northern States, abandoning their candidates at the command of a committee and throw their votes for a single man, in order to defeat the Democratic party ; and this was the work of a very few hours. What they will do when the prize of the Presidency is in view remains to be seen. They do not conceal their intention to consolidate their, forces that can be done ; and, if not, they calculate.uporinhe contingency of an election by the House of Representatives; that fail ing to' coalesce at the polls, they will agree to disagree, so as to throw the choice of the next President into the body which elected Nathaniel P. Banks, Speaker, and which now boasts a decided majority against the Demo cratic party. -It is wall• that the Democracy should look this question directly in the face. It is well that they should be prepared for any abrupt and unexpected movement. Pre liminary to this is the cultivation, on the part of the friends of the different candidates for the Presidency of mutual good feeling.-- Thus far this spirit has been, admirably and generally maintained.. During no period have we known a more itorough spirit of conciliation and union in the ranks of the Democracy. At no period have those whose names are canvassed in connection with the highest offices shown more magnanimity and moderation. We are advancing upon the National Convention in solid phalanx, with quick and elastic steps, and, to employ the language of Mr. Choate, "keeping step with the music of the Union." This results, as we have said, from the consistent and fearless devotion which the Democracy have manifes ted in all their late struggeles in support of great principles. They were united when no more candidate' was in the field. They acted together like brethren in support of an imperishable truth. This was an unselfish, an ennobling, a disinterested union. It schooled the Democracy for the more danger ous conflict between themselves When they might be called upon to select their nominee for President, wielding the enormous patron age of the federal government—an ordeal which has already contributed to break town our enemies ; and which they confidently an tioipate will, in turn, prostrate us. Let us keep constantly in view the fact that, when a party is united upon principle, it should be an easy and a sedohdary, matter to unite upon men ; and if we present as bold a front in defence of the latter as we presehted -in support of the former, the machinations of our oppohents will fall to the ground, and the victory of reason over injustice, of constitu tion and of law, will,be assured. HARROWING CALAMITY AT SEA. Fearful Eecounter of the Sohn Rutledge with an Iceberg. PROBABLE LOSS OP 150 LIVES Frightful Narrative of SZiffering. [From the New-York Daily Times.] - The news which troubled the city yester day was very terrible in its character. The Germania, a packet ship, commanded by Cap tain Wood, sailed from Havre on the 29th of January. She encountered severe westerly gales during the entire passage. On Februa ry 28, a ship's boat was observed in the-dis tance, rowed or steered by no individual, al though human beings were plainly seen from the forecastle of the Germania. She rose and ' fell with the waves, and was evidently at their mercy. Captain Wood foreboded a tra gedy, and lost no time in dispatching a boat to the rescue of the sufferers on board the lit tle dtifting craft. When it was reached a very shocking spectacle presented itself, and one which will' never be forgotten by those on whose eyes it fell. - . There were five people in the boat, of whom four—and one of those a woman—.. were dead. A young seaman, aged 23years, Thomas W. Nye,' of New-Bedford, sat among the bodies of his more unfortunate compan ions, his hands and feet terribly frozen, and his strength altogether exhausted by starva tion. He could not rise without assistance; he could not move his feet when he had risen. 1 They lifted him with care into the German , id's boat, and rowed back to the. ship. Then they learned from the young sailor the whole of the terrible tragedy. The packet ship John Rutledge, comman ded by Captain Kelly, of this, city, and owned by Messrs. Howland & Ridgeway, sailed from. Liverpool on Jan. 1.6. She met with severe weather, and fell in with ice, Feb. 18, inlet. 45 34 N., long.' 46 56 W. The fol lowing day, about noon, she entered a field of ice, but cleared it. _ A. few hours later she was precipitated against an iceberg, which stove a hole in her bow, into which the wa ter poured in a volume. At sunset .she , was evidently sinking, arid had to be hastily abau doned. Besides the crew, there were 119 passengers on board. When she sailed from Liverpool, there were 120 passengers, but one of them met - with an accident before the ice was encountered, and died- in conse quence, , There was may ode cabin passen ger ; all the rest were in the steerage, and were a mixture of English, Irish and Scotch, but belonging to a better class of emigrants than those which usually land upon our shores. • As soon as it was certain that there was no poSsibility of saving theship, and that she must soon go.te the bottom, her , five boats were lowered, and as many of .the., passen gers and crew, as could find their way, into .there. immediately did so. , What food could. _be 'snatched tip,lin the extremity of despera tion was= placed in the boat, together with demijohns of water and compz.ses . . .Men, women, children, were - huddled. together, with no more. covering than they had on them at the time of the encounter, and well nigh paralized with terror. The weather was very Murky. A thick ClOud fell ueon the heaving waves. When the last boat— ! the one found by the Germania—was nearly full, and as the mate, - Mr . . Atkinson, and sev eral others, were about" stepping . in, it broke adrift, with the .thirteen. persons already in it, and the mato; and his went .. . down - with the -wreck. A wild,,_cry m . O ; the five boats parted company; the shades or nigtit , enyeloped the ocean ; and when the morning broke, after many theirs of suffering„the boat in which the ' young seaman Nye . had escaped was alone upon, the waves,. With nothing in view but distant icebergs: Soon some loose float ing, ice was encountered, whichgreatly.impe ded her progress, and in the struggle of those who rowed her to get free from it, the com pass which was on boird was broken and -_rendered useless. ClOuds overspread the sky, and a thick snow storm succeeded.— They knew net Which way to pull, and were seized with ,dismay. From the haste in which they were compelled to leaVe the sink ing ship they had - only been able to - place on board a few pounds of small biscuit,' and A. demijchncontainino.about a gallon of water. A smell - piece of biscuit was the daily ra tion appointed for each individual? aid a draught of water could not be permitted to any one. A suck through the cork was all that could be allowed, and if any one obtain ed enough for a swallow the demijohn was immediately taken from,him, and he was de prived of his evening's suck. The conse quences was, that on the first day,, Out all on board were tormented with a raging thirst, which hourly grew more frightful and unen durlble. The second day dawned and there was no sail; and neither of the 'other boats Visible. Rain and snow fell, and the unfor tunate creatures were nearly frozen with cold, in addition to the pangs of hunger arid thirst. They kept up bravely, however, cheering each ' other. The women especially were brave. They always are in trying, circum stances. Day after day passed by, and on the fifth day, a' woman, the wife of one of the passen-, gers, died. - They had no. Shroud to wrap her in - , - se they threw her overboard in her clothes.' Tho hearts of the surviving twelve began to fail in earnest then. Many were in a sink ing condition - , though they had tried to con ceal it, but. the sight of the first corpse plun ged overboard unmaned them. The next day -es— ( 3: - the husband of the woman uied, and They threw him overboard. A , huge , shark had followed them for two days past, and when this second body.was consigned to the waves, he dived deeply after it, and disappeared. That evening the provisions failed. There were no more biscuits, and the demijohn was sucked dry. Early on the morning of the seventh day, two boys, who were brothers, died, and short ly afterwards their father. There were three sharks in the wake of the boat now, but after these three bodies were thrown overboard, there was only one visible, and he soon drop ped away and 'disappeared. Some time during that night another pas senger died. They threw him over at day break. On the eighth day, the boatswain died-- Him they threw overboard. All that were thrown overboard were in their wearing ap parel, and were so disposed of, just as they died. On the same day, another passenger died, who was the last that was thrown over board. Mrs. Atkinson, the mate's wife, died about two hours later, and after'her, in quick .succession, three other passengers. The young seatnan Nye was the sole survivor, and he was so much exhausted that he had not strength to•give his dead companions to the sharks, He sat frozen in their midst, and the boat drifted at the mercy of the winds and waves. On the ninth day, the Germania came in sight, but he had not power to hail her, or to wave a signal. The 'drifting boat, as we have said, was fortunately espied, and the poor young fellow was received on board.— He told his story, and Captain Wood humane ly resolved to look after the other boats. For two days he sailed to' the Northwest and the Southwest, keeping watch. Thick snow storms fell during this time, but when they cleared away there were no boats to be seen. They had compasses, on board.• They had more food than the ill fated boat, from which Mr. Nye was rescued. But the weather was very stormy and cold during all those subse quent days, and their probable fate is one -of painful conjecture. We trust that we' shall hear something of them. Something of them. Some good ship may have picked them up. If they should never be heard of, then only one individual, young Nye, will have been rescued out of all the passengers and crew of the packet ship John Rutledge. And it is not even certain that he will recov er. He remains in a very low state on hoard the Germania, now in our bay. Another terrible hurricane was experien ced by the. Germania on March 11, which lasted three days, driving her back 150 miles from the Gulf-stream. Captain Wood adds his testimony to that of the many experien ced commanders who have lately crossed the Atlantic, respecting the unexampled se verity of the weather during the present win ter. We expect to receive frightful tidings from sea for some weeks. The John Rutledge was 2,027 tons registor, built in Baltimore in 1852, valued at about $66,000 ; freight, about $lO,OOO ; cargo from $75,000 to $lOO,OOO. Insured in Wall street ; and in Boston. Toleration Illustrated AN UNPUBLISHED CHAPTER FROM GENESIS. 1. And Abraham was sitting at the door of his tent, under the shade of his fig tree. 2. And it came to pass that a man stricken with years, bearing a staff in his hand, jour neyed that way, and it was noon-day. 3. And Abraham said to the stranger, "pass not by, I pray thee, but come in and wash thy feet, and tarry here until the cool of the even ing, for thou art stricken with years, and the heat overcometh thee." 4. And the stranger left his staff' at the door, and entered into the tent. 5. And he reposed himself, and Abraham set before him bread and cakes of fine meal, baked upon the hearth. 6. And Abraham blessed the bread, giving Goethanks—but'thestrana 'D er did eat, and re fused to pray unto The Most High, saying, "The Lord is not the God of my fathers." 7. And Abraham was exceeding wroth, and called his servants, and they beat the stranger and drove him into the wilderness. 8. Now. in the evening Abraham lifted up his voice and prayed, and the Lord said, ''Abrallat - n, where is the stranger that sojour ned with thee this day 1" , 9. And Abraham said, "Behold, 0 Lord! he eat of thy bread, and would not give thee thanks ; therefore did I chastise— him, and drove him from my presence into the wilder ness." 10. And the Lord said unto Abraham. "Thou hest done evil in my sight. Have I not born with thee and thy transgressions these four score and ten years, and couldst thou not bear for one day with thy brother's infirmities ? 11• "Arise and follow the stranger, carry ing with thee oil and, .wine, and anoint his bruises and speak kindly to him, for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, and mercy as well as judgment belongeth unto me." 12. And Abraham arose, and went out in to the wildernessi to do as the. Lord had com manded him. CO — Ma Jowl S.NEEn,, who died recently hi Boyle county, Kentucky, at the advanced age of 101 years, was a gentleman who did good service, in early times, in the cause of our country. Born in Virginia, in 1755, he was, for some years, Mr. JEFFEnsoN's Secretary, then volunteered in arLexpedition against the Cherokee Indians, and subsequently became a soldier in the army of the revolution, in which he served until the close of the war. He Was with Gen. WASHINGTON at Valley Forge, during all the privations and sufferings of that disastrous period ; afterwards fought under the same great chieftain at Monmouth, and was one of the gallant army who recei ved the thanks of Congress for their conduct in this engagement. Having been detailed, with a number of picked men from various regiments, to (he command of COL MORGAN, he finally went to the South with Gen. GREENE, with whom he served until the war ceased. He was taken pi isoner at the battle of Guilford C. H., and, when conducted into the presence of Lord CORNWALLIS, the ques tion was •put to him by that nobleman: "Where is the baggage of the American par ty?" "Out of your reach, sir," . was his re ply. "Why sol" "Because the American army is between you and it." His one-hun dredth birthday was. celebrated on the 21st of February last, at the residence of his son ; by a centennial dinner.—Pennsylvanian. PHILADBLPHIA .WJU3.KETS. SATuanAr, March 29. P.
