of delegates into the kande of their op
poi-mots, the pro-slavery men, whom
thoy aver to Ix largely in the minority::
This etrunge prcieeedi se; they at tee tpt
to jio tify on several grounds. They
allege:
Ist. "That the lave fur holding this
election was euucted by what they call
the Gopcx Legislature."
Why Why bogus I " Because," say they,
" itwesii oneaided Legislature." Then,
their Topeka Convention was bogus; fur
. that warn still moire one-side&
2d. "That an unfair election was in
teutiod.to be brought about."
- But do they expect to make that elee
tiou Weer by staying away freih it?
M. "That it is a point of honor wit iv
theme not to take part in a Conveution,
- milled together by a bogus Legialat ore."
Truly, a lace semie of honor: What ? '
Stay away front the polls, and let a
bogus convention lie elected, out of a,
sense of honor ? Ileuor consists in do
ing one's duty ; dishonor, only in desert
ing it,. Always to go to the pulls is the
gored citizen's *ileum duty ; it can only
. be a bad one's to stay away. ,
4th. "That it was intended not to
let free State men vote."
If that is a wrong, to give in to it is
a curious way. yf redressing it. But if
it he a crime in Atchison and Stringfel
low, why not when Weed and Greeley
'order them not to vote ?
sow, these--all the Black Republican
reatiooa for not voting—are plainly so
bad Mit! they could only suffice fur
- blockheads; and since we are tar from
viewing our friends aforesaid i u any such
light, we are eotnpelled to suppose for
them some more rational though ima
rowed reason fvr their conduct. What
we have just recited is a series of excuses
for a thing prtaletermined, not rational
eansea for determining upon it. They
. are such as never could have convinced
any man whose, mind was not already
made up to the same 'line of concha
without them. And, indeed, the fact
is, that when people havedetemaned to
do thus or thus anyhow, and reason or
no
. reason, they are almost sure to find
none but extremely. poor apologies--
mere preteneen—for their course: In
short; no man notyvregiously alhu:k
brain ever took in an important matter
an eztraordirutry courselliat was not
' capable of a perfectly rational explana
tion.' That afforded by the Meek Ile
• publican excuses above stated is nosuch
explanation ; they are, therefore, not
' the' real grounds of their conduet.—
What; then, are ite true motive? They
areevidently such as their leaders dare
not avow. Can they be laid bare ? Yea,
beyond a doubt—so bare that none can
Mistake them.
Agitation—the keeping of the public
nand.in a false state of excitement, in
stead/of lotting it relapse into a natural
rip* after the turmoil of a Presiden
tial election—is now-their only hope.—
Par agitating they have but one means,
one, 'wort—the Karr as question. If
- they list that question be settled., there
is an end of them awl of their hopes as

".1 Bitter Foe to Freedom. --:That Grief
Jnstiee Taney's opinion in the nrcel
Scott case was manufaetured to order
to suit the views of the pro-slavory
party admits of no doubt, as it iS di
rect ry in opposition to an opinion Ito
delivered some three years sinee. It is
a singular fact that when an American
becomes a convert to I:Atm:misfit, he is
invariably the bitterest tin to freedom.
It is the.eaae with Chief J ustice Taney."
There are AL loAst two lies contained
in the above little paragraph, which we
copy from a Black Republican paper,
and those lies are manufactured from
the whole cloth. It is false that the
decision of Chief Justice Taney in the
Drvd Scott case "is directly in opposi
tion to an opinion he delivered some
three years since." The question which
drew forth the decision alluded to was
of a very different nature from the Bred
Scott case, awl both decisions have been
pronounced by the greatest legal lights
of the country as being just and impar
tial, and as correctly expounding the
letter and spirit of the Constitution.—
Again : Chief Justice Taney is not "a
convert to Humanism." Ile was born
within the pale of the notuan Catholic
Church, and has ever been a devout,
liberal and enlightened member of that
denomination. He is pwviessed of none
of the selfish and narrow bigotry which,
both in religion and politics, blinds and
perverts the .Kno w Nothings and Black
Republicans.

The Indn Line Question
umutingena, May 18
EM3I/1
Roptal is tho Word.
Should the Main Line be sold under
the infamous bill recently pried iot o a
law by the Legislature anil sanctioned
Icy the Governor, the question very,na
turully arises in the mind, is there no
remedy for the people who have thus
been so foully awl infamously wronged?
We think there is. The act is not one
like unto the laws of the Moles and
Persians, unalterable. We are of the
opinion that the next Legislature can
repeal the law and resume the control
of the Main Line. The Constitution,
we are aware, inculcates the ih•etrine of
the inviolability of contracts, and
frowns upon any attempt to -impair
their himling, effect. But. the Constitu
tion is opposed to all wrongs committed
on tho rights of the people, and all fraud
and dishonesty on the part cif the public
servants. Laws winch are manifestly
enacted through the appliance of fraud
and villainy, and in contravention of the
lopular will, can have no countenance
in the organic law oft he Commonwealth.
Fraud vitiates any contract, and we up;
prebend the fraud attempted on the tax
payers of the l'4 - immonwealth, by the
passage of this bill, will vitiate We sale
of the public works.
We shall have more to say on this
sultject hereafter. In the meantime let
the Democratic press oftlie State speak
out on this subject, and make the repeal
of the law an issue at the election in
October.— ha netutter

amusing comment. In several of the

The Noir Caret
The new coin of the denomination of
"oNz crt:r," just hotted from the Mint,
is in very good taste, and a tkeldeam
provement on the old "cOpper."
There is bat one objection—it has no
"ring"—no linglit!--but is al, dead as
load, and don'imood lika yeau . Ae "mon
ey.
A description of the coin would now
be useless. Iteftirre this issue reaches
the readers of the Compiler, they will
doubtless have seen the new cent, and
judged it for themselves. The friend
at York who put us in possession of a
few as early as Tuesdaj a evening, as a
novelty, has our thanki for his atten
tion.
The following is of interest in this con
nection. It having been annoonced that
the United States Mint in Philadelphia
would commence on Monday morning,
at nine o'clock; to pay out the new cents,
a large crowd of ,persons assembled in
front of the building long before the ap
pointed time, all anxious to secure some
f the bright littlr strangers at the ear
liest moment in exchange fur other coin.
The Philadelphia Bulletin thus doscnies
the Keene :
Every man and boy' In the crowd had him
package of coin with him. Some had their
r).
rouleau of Spanish coin done np in bits of
cewmpa or wrapped in handkerchiefs,
while 'it saws_ had carpet bags, baskets and
other carrying contrivances, filled with cop
pers—"very cheap and idling," like boarding
house fare.
The officiatinK priests at the temple of
mammon had anticipated this grand-rush and
crush, and ever! possible preparation was
made in anticipation of it. Conspicuous
among these arrangements was the erection
of a neat wooden building in the yard of the
mint for the special accommodation of the
great emwd of money changers. This tem
porary structure was furnished with two
open windows, which faced the south. Over
meddles. windows was inscribed the words
'bents for,cents," and over the other "cents
fur silver." Inside the little office were
scales and other apparatus for weighing and
testing coin, a goodly pile of bags containing
the newly struck compound of nickel and
copper, and a detachment of weighers,
clerks, Le,
The hags containing the "Nicks" were
neat lilac csavass arrangements. each of
which held fire hundred of the diminutive
little strangers, and each of which bore upon
its outside the pleasant inscription "5."
Just as the State House bell had finished
striking nine o'clock the doors of the Mint
were thrown open, and in rushed the eager
crowd—paper pars:lds, well-filled handker
chiefs, carpet begs. baskets and all. But
those who thought that there was to be a
grand scramble, and that the boldest pusher
would be first served, reckoned without the ‘ ir
host. The hustling throng was arranged in
to lines which led to the respective windows ;
those who bore silver had the Nit of honor
tutsigaed them and went to the right, while
those wlio bore nothing but vulgar copper
were constrained to take the left.
' These lines soon grew to ao uneonseions
ble length, and to economise space they were
wound around and around like the convolu
tions of • *mike of a whimsical turn of.iiiind.
The clerks and the weighers exerted them
selves to the uttermost to meet the demands
of all comers, and to deal out the little can
rams bags to all who wore entithrl to revive
them ; but the crowd grew ttpac4 and we em
titioted that at one time there could not have
been less than one thousand persons in the
zipag lines, weighed down with small
charyge, and waiting patiently for their turn.
Those who were served rushed into the
stalest with their money bags, and many of
thilmi were immediately surrounded by an
(*side crowd, who were willing to buy mat
in small lots at an advance on first cost. We
saw quite • number of persons on the steps of
the mint deeding out the new favorites at an
advance of fro - ni thirty to a hundred per cent..
nod some of the outside purchasers even
huckstered out the coin again in prefilter lots
at a still heavier adranos. The great major
ity of thove who eame out "made tracks" with
their bags of money, and not an omnibas went
eastward past the mint for several hours that
did mot, like the California steamers, carry
"spelde in the hands of the ngttro."
Those who made their way ho and afoot
attlracted the attention of passers-b their
display of specie bags, and we doubt much
whether in the History of the - mint, there was
ever so groat a rusk Inside the building, or
so animated a scene outaidu of it. It was, in
effect, at once the funeral of the old coppers
and of the ancient Spanish coins and the giv
ing of a practical working existence to the I
new omits.
In die coarse of a few weeks the new min
will be plentiful enough at. par, rho Spanish
coins will go out of the hands of the brokers
just se they 'drawly have disappeared from
ordinary emulation, and as regards the old
cents there will be `•narn red" to be own, ex
cept each as will be Wand in the cabinets of
own collectors.

Notwithstanding the season is very
backward, and the prospect of the
spring craps is rather gloomy, still wo
apprehend. that there will be an slm;
dant harvest—take the country togeth
er. The Chicago Jountal, for instance,
predicts that the yield of wheat at the
coming harvest in the West will be more
abundant than ithas ever been at any
preceding and that the grain
crops in thity country, of every kind,
will be most, ample, both for home con
sumption and the foreign demand.—
The Jounial adds :
4, We almost daily bear of reports in
dicative of this kate of things, from va
rious parts of oar own and neighboring
States, since the season has fairly open
ed. The winter wheat in most localities
looks well, and a liberal extent of soil is
being devoted to spring 'sown wheat.--
The rantity eteorn that will be phint
ed this season is almost incredible, and
with anything like fhvorable weather
for planting and growing, by far the
heaviest crop of corn will be gathered
this year that has ever been harvested
In this country."
