A Tilt in tip Mato einste.
On Wednesday week, when .tbe
Tariff resolutions were ander consider
ation, Mr. Senorlitm, of Warren, who
is one of the lesser lights of tho newly
made Republican converts, bat claimed
to be an ardent Democrat in 1856, offer
ed an amendment of sympathy for the
President because sonee of his Cabinet
do not entertain the same views in re
gard to specific duties he does. Mr. S.
attempted to justify this unnecessary
attack upon Mr. BUCIIANAN, and asked
in a semi-nasal twang, " what has be
corqo of his [the President's] old friends
—his old editor nod others? They had
deserted him." This brought Mr.
WEIJ3II, of York, to the floor, who pat
in the following pointA rejoinder.—
We copy from the Record :
Mr. Wzr..sn said that the Senator
from Warren intimated that there was
a lack of disposition, on the part of the
friends of the President, to sympathize
with him. He was glad to see, if any
of his friends were prepared to desert
Inn, that some of his old friends were
coming back to him. Ile recollected
sitting side by side with the Senator
from Warren, in State Convention, and
voting with him for delegates to the
Cincinnati Convention to sustain James
Buchanan. Since then the Senator
had left him; but ,ho was happy
now to see , that whilst some of the
friends of fir. Buchanan were deserting
liiin,old ones were coming back. With
all respect for the views and character
of the Senator from Warren, ho would
ask him to withdraw the •amendment.
What good, ho asked, could be accom
plished by it? As Senators, we aro
gathered together to legislate upon im
portant interests to the Commonwealth,
to protect her rights, and subserve those
interests, by every fair and honorable
menus in our power. There was a vi
talprmeiple involved in these resolutions
—vital to the industry, er.crgy, and vast
natural resources of the State; and
when ho came into the Senate chamber,
this morning, from what he had heard
of the views of Senators with reference
to them, ho did nut for 0110 moment sup-
peso that any obstacle uould be inter
posed to their passage. .
The Senate had been told that it was
of vast: importance to the interests of
Pennsylvania, that these resolutions
should pass. If it is so, why not pass
them, and lay aside all party fooling
and prejudice, as became men imbued
with a sense of the high responsibility
which rests upon them . While voting
upon this measure, if Senators cannot
all heartily agree with t4 . President,
in hispoeition upon other qii&tions,they
should regard, simply, the principle in
volved, and not come here with inde
cent personal and party flings. Ile
did not, he said, stand hero the defen
der of the President. A long life.of
usefulness to his colinrry, both at home '
and abroad ; the proud positions ho had
occupied; the measures of public inte
rest and importance which he had orig
inated and so ably advocated ; the ap
plause white had greeted him in the
discharge of his high duties fa the most
critical and trying times—these were a
sufficient defence against any indecent
partizan flings which could bo made a
gainst him. f.fe did not rise, he con
tinued, for the
.purpose of stirring up
any political feeling. On the contrary,
he offered the olive branch ; and he but
asked that wo would be mot by Sena
tors of the Opposition in the same way
—not with words which were intended
to divide or embitter them in the work
of striving to secure for the State that
which her vital interests demand.
Opposition Economy.
It is really astounding to observe how
particularly anxious Opposition office
holders are to reduce the expenditures
of our State government. To show
their prolbund concern for the interests
of the tax-payer, we will briefly relate
an incident that lately took place in the
lower house of our State Legislatnre.—
The seat of Mr. Or.ivxa Evans, a Dem.
ocratic member from Philadelphia, was
contested by a Black Republican, but
Mr. Evans was pronounceii fairly and
properly elected. Now, bo it remem
bered that this case underwent a strict
investigation by a committee made up
almost entirely of Opposition members,
- and be it also remembered that the
present House is largely Opposition,
the proportion being nearly two of the
latter to one Democrat. With all these
advantages in his favor, Mr. Evans' op
ponent was declared to have no right
to the seat which he claimed. When
the House had rendered this decision,
ono would have supposed that the mat
ter was at an end. Quito different,
i however, was the opinion of the virtu.
ous Opposition. It would never do to
let, their disappointed friend go home
without reaping wine benefit for his
patriotic efforts to obtain a seat to
whit-li they were compelled to decide he
was not entitled. So, presto ! they
'vote him jive dollars per day for every
Iday lie had been in :attendance at Har
risburg, in his capacity as. contestant
for the scat of Mr. Evans ! Our rea
ders will, perhaps, remember that the
men who squander the public funds in
this style, are the same fellows who
sometimes talk about the "extravagant
expenditures" of Democratic officers.—

Resolved, That as, in the opinion of
the Senate, the creation of a large pub

States, and, as the present revenues are
insufficient to meet the unavoidable ex
penses of the government, Congress
should proceed, w•thout delay, to so re

but to pay off the present debt, so far
as it may be liable to immediate ez..ncel

was paid to them. Screams were heard
by the neighbors in the house before
the fire wax discovered by them, but
supposing that they were, as usual, oc
casioned by a drunken fight, and as
they were known to have been drunk
all 'day, nothing was thought of it till
the flames were non. But it was too
late ; the drunken husband and wife,
father and mother, were consumed in

innocent children, the innocent victims
of the infernal vice of their parents,
went up in hopeless agony from the
second story, where the merciles4 flames
had encircled them with their fiery and
fatal wreaths before human aid had
reached them. The only one saved
was a boy who got out on the porch:—
The house was dry and burned like a
flash. All that. human aid could do was
done, but, it came too late. The two
cities and neighborhood are thrilled
with horror at this occurrence.

BARTOOLOMEW'S WASHINGToN
Many of our citizens have observed with
the pleasure it is calculated to inspire, the
elegant statue of Washington which adorns
the front of the clothing establishment of
Messrs. Walker & Co., on Baltimore street,
between Calvert and Light streets, recently
elevated tot the niche reserved fur its recep
tion. It is a superb work of art, and a con
tribution W American genius and public taste
eminently 'creditable to the. proprietors of
the building. It has a melancholy signifi
cance as the production of an American ar
tist of great promise—indeed of great achieve
ments—though at the beginning of a career
hopeful of the highest distinction. lie now
lies buried in a foreign land, and his works
remain the mementoes of his talent, energy
and perseverance; his history an exemplary
page in the annal s of American genius.
The Washington which now adorns our city
will be to us an object of pride, as a memorial
of him it represents and of the artist who
produced it. As a work of art it challenges
admiration, The easy grace and dignity of
the man ate most plc.vsingly exprovied in
the figure ; and none can gaze upon the serene
majesty of the face and brow without a re
newed sense of veneration for the noble char
acter which adorns with• so much lustre the
early history of our conntry.—Bull. Sun.
)`Whilst in Baltimore, a few days since,
oar attentinn was arrested, in passing, by
this admirable work of art—reflecting as it
doer the masterly skill of Mr. BARTSOLOIMW,
and the open-handed liberality of Messrs.
WALLER ot CO. We advise oar friends visit
ing the eity to stop and take a long look at it.
Some time Is required in viewing the stat ate,

We learn that Thomas T. Wierman, for
merly Resident Engineer on the Penney!ye
ah' al, at limiting lon, has been promoted
to the situation ofEngineer and Superintend
ent of that work. Mr. De Puy, ho was
plated in charge of the canal department af
ter the purchalie of the Main line by the
Perin. Railroad Co., has been for some time
Superintendent of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
Chicago Railroad, and Mr.Wiernaan repla
ces him on the Ceuta. From what we can
learn of the latter gentleman and from the
fact of his being advanced to so important a
post we judge that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has but added another to its no
toriously able corps ofemployees.—Coluarbia
SPY
gfirTrne, every -word, neighbor of the
Spy. Mr. WIZIMAN is entirely competent
fur that, as he would be fur any other post,
requiring honesty, energy and brain, within
the gift of the Company.

Orderly Sergeant of the independent Blues,
in place of C. X. MARTI N, resigned. This is
an excellent selection, as Philip does every
thing well which he undertakes.
