Mr. Bigler made an able, elaborate
and statistical speech, in support of the
resolutions. Ile had hva tnstrneted
by the Legimlatiare of his State to favor
an increase of the Tariff, and that was
the desire of an overwhelming majority
of the people of Pennsylvania. He
fully endorsed the 'views of the Presi
dent, as expressed in' his annual mos
sago, and said that all tariff laws bad
baffled the wisest statesmen, and bad
been attended with unexpected results.
Hu would prefer neither an exclusively
April* or ad valorem system, bat a ju
dicious combination of the two, fixing
the highest duties on articles of luxury.
It might be said this was not a time
to discuss this subject, bnt there was
more time than we had in fixing the
present tariff, when there was* debate
cf but a few hours. "If we could do no
better, why not add 4 or 5 per cent. to
the rates as they stand, or be would
prefer to fall back on the tariff of 1844
rather than fail to have any change.—
The iron manufacturers would be satis
fied witn a moderate specific duty, say
$8 on pig metal, ;12 on sailrdlid iron,
and 814 or 815 on rolled and hammered
bars, which would not, exceed :lip aver
age tinier the ad valorem yriaeipla for
a number of years past.
Mr. 13. proceeded to denounce the
p a p e r currency 'DUI* as a fruitful
I t source of lioancial ernharrreeenrenicr and
he would gladly do away with all bills
of a less sum than $5O.
lie answered the objection that the
North and East got more than their
due share of the protection resulting
from a tariff, bat comparing the postal
receipts and expenditures, allowed
that the South and West received more
from the treasury than the earnings
from the:r postage.
1 /Poor White Trash" and Bich
Negress.
The New Tot* Tribune, the iisknowl
edged organ of the Black Republicans,
in a late article on the revolution in
Hayti, makes the following infamoisi
and diivaecful comparison:
“ A considerable part of the white
population (of Hayti at the time of the
abolition of slavery in that country)
were jostit blasts, so called, litUe whites
the samo with the POOR WHITS
TRASH of our Southern States, with
out education, or property, but exceed
ingly tenacious, like OUR POOR

of s distinction which enabled them to

wealthy MEN OF COLOR r
Hero this Black Republican oracle
intimates that the poor white people of
our country sod the "little whites" of
Hayti, occupy the same position in the
scale of-society, and declares that the
former were 'enabled "to take rank of
the most accomplished and . wealthy
men of color," thus placing oar poor
white population on a level with the
negro What (asks the Bedford Ga
zette) will the intelligent American la
borer sns. to this? Shall such a de
grading insult to a class that forms the
bone and sinew of our land, go unrebu
ked ? The "poor white trash," for
sooth : Let the poor man remember
this stigma that Black Republican
aristocracy fixes upon his name. Let
him remember it and let him resolve to
wipe out of existence the party that
dares thus to dishonor him.

We have no disposition to interfirre
in the domestic strifes ehd bicker
ingsitif the 'f happy family" which now
rules the lions° of Representatives of
this State. They `ate raised the de
mon and they may exorcise him. But
still as faithful chroniclers of the doings
of our state Legislature, we aro oom
pelled to note a recentoecureence in the
which illustrates in a most for
cible manner the reckless character of
the Opposition, and their open disre
gard of all those considerations which
usually influence honest men in the din
charge of important public duties.—
The Legulative Re' rd is now published
and issued by 11. J. liat.nzitity, under
a contract which extends through the
present session, unless mid contract be
rescinded by a joint resolution of the
two Houses. All efforts to rescind this
contract having failed, the House, in
direr violation of the late, entered into
;another contract with Mr. Branmett to
furnish them with two thousand copies
of similar record, at the rate
!of 84 20 per page. The supply of Mr.
lialdeman being fixed at three thousand
I per day, the attention of the House was
!called to that fact, and while discussion
Iwas being held upon it, the political
friends of Mr. Bergner allege that be
altered hie proposals from two to three
thousand, thus making it agree with
the contract of Mr. Haldeman. This
was at once pointed out by Mr. Fames,
t an Opposition member from Allegheny,
who denounced it as an outrage of the
most gross and palpable character.—
Mr. Roes, from Mercer, also jnined Mr.
Foster in his repudiation of this at
tempted swindle, and resolutely pro
claimed his determination to resist the
consummatioa of.this fraudspon the
Treasury at ell hazards. Bat the main
body of the Oppciestion followed the
load of the Speaker, and voted to sus-
Lain the Bergner contract in the face of
such facts as ware substantiated by the
evidence preseoted to them, and not
denied by the Speaker of the Howe,
who was forced to admit that the alter
ation had been made and that in a most
suspicions manner. The iniquity of
this act of the Opposition is heightened
when the fact is known that this alter
ation was made after the securities were
attached to the official bond for the
faithful performance of the contract,
and as such alterations relieve the secvri- ,
ties, those who voted for the contract
after this discovery, voted to give it to
Mr. Bergner without a dollar of respon
sibility on hie part. Ile might execute
it or not, he might giro them five hun
dred or.one thousand aopies, he might
use brown paper instead of white, and!
there would - be no redrew so far as the
official bond was concerned. That was
worthless, and yet the majority of the
Opposition members sustained this
fraudulently altered contract, this contract
teithont ionfrity, ind bus made up a re
cord on which the honest tax-payers of
the Commonwealth will try -and judge
them in the future.
The economic viu'iv of this question
is also interesting, when placed in con
trast with the pmfoselons of retrench
ment and reform which were so loudly
made by the Opposition previour to thu
last fall-campaign. The contract with
Mr. Heideman is of full binding effuet
anti/ properly annulled. That has not
been done, and therefore he is entitled
-to compensation.. lie supplies both
Houses with the Record. They have
no need for another. But the louse
of RoPmentativesi knowing that the
whole antoent of Mr. Heideman's claim
will have to be paid, proposes to con
tract for an additional and unnecessary
_Record, and take from the treasury over
fire toad dollars to pay for the same.
This ta a fair apecimaa of that economy
' which the Opposition generally insert
rub" when they have the power.—Prii

Th• Game Law.
Several persons have of late been
caught violating the provisions of the
game 111 w passed at the last session of
the Legislature, and compelled to pay
their fines. On Saturday last, Mr.
John Stine, of York township, upon in
kormation of Mr. C. Stubbing, was ar
raigned before Justice Wilson, for sell
ing two Rabbats in our market. The
suit was attended by a ewer large crowd
of spectators, among wilioni where a
number of our sportsmeo, who appear
ed to be deeply interested is the ease.
Mr. Stine contended that the animals
ho sold were Hares, and not Rabbits,
and as the taw evidently had reference
to the animal knovfn hero by the general
acceptation of the term Rabbit, it was
looked upon by the assembled crowd as
a very lame defence. Another argu
ment, raised in defence of the defendant,
by his counsel, was that Rabbits were
a common nuisance, inasmuch as they
did great injury_to fruit trees, etc., and
that upon the principles of common law,
persons had a right to kill them.—
Whereupon, the counsel on the part of
I the prosecutor admitted that, if persons
had a right / to kill them, they would!
) nevertheless be compelled to pay the)
fine under the act of Assembly. Other :
arguments were adduced by the parties
in support of their respective positions,'
and some very sharp and sarcastic re
tlections were made by both parties.- 1
The proceedings are said to have been
of a very interesting oharacter. Jus
tice Wilson has withheld his decision in
the matter until next Saturday. John
F. Spangler, Esq., was counsel for the
prosecutor, and A. N. Green and E. 11.
Weiser, Esqrs., for defendant.
Wm. Anderson, of Warrington town- i

This is St. Valentine's Day—the Carnival
of Lore--a day peculiarly interesting to the
young, of both sexes. The origin of the day
has been a subject of much inquiry. and
who St. Valentine was is still a disputed
point. 000 account says that St. Valentine
was a lady of the .uold court of St. Louis, and
was the most bilautiful and stately. as well as
the coldest maiden there. She was besieged
by a score of losers,who were oontinually
annoying her by„,ahrowing billet atom in her
way, until at last it became positively unbear
able, and she was obliged to seek refuge from
persecution within the " cloisteek pale."

It will be interesting to learn that Easter,
which will be.oak,the 24th of April this year.,
last fell on that day in 1791, and will not
fall on the same date *gain till 2011. Since
the introduction of the Gregorian Almanac
this has only been the dasein the years 1636,
1707 and 1792. The period in which Easter
can fall, reaches from the !4d of March (ear
he'd date) to the 25th of April (latest date,)
leaving thirty-five different days fur the cele
bration of this festival. In this century
F.aater will fall only once (1886) on the latest
date, the 25th of April.

The Chambereborg of ed-
Pawky last. mays vs.." The importance of a
commotion with the Railroad at Clettmharg
is attracting the attention of the bushman
men of this neighborhood. We have beard
mosiderelde talk, within a few dart pamt of
having a surtrey made in order to show the
practicability of constructing a road, over a
route of an easy grade, and free from any
wutansd expiates in building. Such a route
we am summed exists and that a survey of it
will be ram& at an early day. The great ad
vantages that a connection with the Getty,.
burg road would open up to our farmers, and
the business community, are so obvious that
self interest must succour or later determine
its completion. By tharoate proposed, which
would only !quire about twenty-four miles
of road to be built, we would obtain a direct
railroad communication with the Baltimore
market, at a saving of forty-three miles in
distanee and at least twenty tire per cent. on
freight over the roundabout road we are
now obliged to travel to get to that market.—
The merchants of Baltimore see the necessity
of this road, in order to secure the trade and
produce of the great Cumberland Valley, and
express themselves as reedy to invest their
money in it whenever the demand is made ,
open them. From the well known eftergetita
elutraeter of the men who are agitating this
subject in our commamity; ire hare no doubt
whatever that this road will be balk as no
very distant day."
