It is k ind spec t acle to. see a state which has
'stood .firm and undauWed under - the strongest ,
eatilts of locofocoism, now conquered by the degen
eracy an equate.% position of those who have
'hid 'the confidence and the' generous support of •
the Whig portion of the people._ Massachusetts, in
•any_well-fought contest, has been good for '15,000
whigtrajority. In all the 'elements which ;mpart I
_strength, influence, or give an impregnable pos Hien
;to the whig Party, she is strongerthis (lay than at
- any farmer time IA her political history. The prin
ciples which have beer uniformly declared hr the
- whigs of the old-Say_litate in conventions, and by
public. men to whom has been authority,
without exception up to the memorable Congress
'of 10-50, have a deep and abiding place in the
''affectionse °fin overwhelming majority of the
pm
plea No circumstanCes, changes or events which
can possibly happen, can change their honest con
victions. ' These fundameotal principles are as int
, mutable as the Eternal and as enduring time.—
.Dien may chauge, convulsioos may disrupt 'the har
mony- of union, these principles change not, nor
will they cease to have a strong hold upon the
consciences and affections of the people. All nt
'temnts at coercion, or. to warp the judgment or de
feat their. oft expressed and known will, will de. I
atioy the party or the political existence of the •
-men who undertake it. •
' It is here that MasMehusetts hikes her position;
and Vermont, New Turk, Ohio, NFisconsin,

it it the only ground on which a whip victory
• will be obtained in any state north of the Potomac.
The people are independent; they think and act for'
thorinelies, and the tine - is nast-rtoo many miens=
. taires afforded for training the mind to think and
reflect—to transfer them like slaves to the bid of
• any man or party: , -
• Let us look fora moment to the causes Which
• have operated to produce the unhappy diseamfi
furs of the whigs of Massachusetts, by an allied
oppOsitior Whose principles are as antagonistical
and opposite - as the poles of the earth. The wings
of that state have alwriys taken a bold and manly
stand against the farther cart:mica of slave territo
ry: „In their conventions, in the _Legislature, and
on all suitable, occasions, resolves of unimstakable
import have passed wiih great unanimity, express

_ theryrogress into the territories . of the Union.— '
The:

,certain, road from the place where it
was ;aid by the - viewers appointed by the Court ;
. and though tbe road seems to bare been improved
by the change that was made, yet the 'principle
was cleorly Stated by the . Court that no man had a
right to change a road as laid by the viewers a sin
gle ind, and if he did so change it be-was liable to
an Indictment. The Jury under this charge from
the COurt, found the defendant guilty in Manner

Things at Harrisburg
The most important subject now before the Le
gislature, is the remodelling of the Judicial diStricts .
Mr. Packer of the Senate, on Tnesday week, intro
&wed a bill dividing the state into twenty die
tricts, and allowing the President Judge' of each
district a saltily of tk2,000. This'bill has the 10th
district composed of the counties of Susquehanna,
Luzerne, Wyoming and Sullivan. •
On the 15th and leith petitions were - presented
in the Senate by Mr Sanderson, and in the House
by)fessrs. Reckhow . and Mowry, providing for a
plank road (rota Montrord to Rarford in this conn
ty. The, one presented by Mr. Sanderson was for
its construction from Montrose to Legget's Gap
Several membershave presented petitions for the
repeal of the Small Note law, one of which we see
is from Northampton county. . • •
Petitiens also for several new banks have been
presented. .
In. the House, Mr. Dobbins indroduced a resolu•
tion relative to the tariff in the following words:
Resolvedly the Senate eft, That our Senators in
Congress be instructed, and our, Representatives
requested to use their best efforts to procure a
modification 'of the existing tariff laws, so as to
more effectually protect the Iron and Coal interests
of this Commonwealth;' and also toudrocate a fur
ther amendment to the sail lairs so that the du
ties may be - levied at borne and not in the foreign
valuation, and that the Governor be requested to
have copies of this resolution forwarded to each
Senator and Representative in Congreat now as
sembled.
Which was read and lies over.
Where le Critic Chase?
Mi.. H. J. Raymond, 'one of the editors of the
N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, has been elected spea
ker of the House in the New York . Legislature.
In the customary address delivered on ta'king his
P.lacii in the chair, we find the following passage:
"I shall seek to give such vigorous practical ef
feet to such rules as shall best attain the design
they are intended to secure."
Surely the learned cricket of Harford
tmer.there, and see that the Icing's English i ts not
murdered by' Buch Liliputians in Literature as Alfr

W"Oar 17. B. Senator elect, Mr.. Brodhead, is
in favor" of a modification of the tariff of '46, or at
least lie is eo represented, and his, election iselaim
ed by his friends as a tariff victory. Ile was a
Ifernherof Congress when that act was .passecl,
entirely opposing its- passage. - If Mr. Brodhead
will use his influence and, rote in favor of protection
to the Coal and Iron interests of PeanSylvaitiM we
shall not regret that the denioeracy tallied to his
support in preference to men of greater talents, but
less inclined to represent out real interests.

ANOTHER FORREST tND WILLIS , .rx rx AIR
-AT , THE ASTOR PLACE OPERA.—The L New
York Mirror states that:a most disgraceful
fracas took place on Monday night in the
lobby of the Astor Place ' Opera , House, be
tween Messrs. Forrest and Willis, which
threatened at one time to result in another
breach of the peace, by the former; gentle
mail. Mr. Willis was present in company
with his wife and Mrs. Voorhees, and between
1 the - acts left his seatand proceeded to the
lobby, where he was followed by Forrest,
(who, it is said, was infuriated,) and abusing
him in the most outrageous manner, apply
ing to him the lowest and most vilest epi
thets, and threatening to "lick hint "on the
spot." A gentlemin_who witnessedit, how,
ever, notified the police of tholict,tand thus
a scene of personal violence was 'probably
prevented. , 1%.1r. Willis returned to hiS seat,
and Forrest Was cleverly watched by the pn

COVNTERFEITS ON TUE lIAREIBBERG BANK.
—Counterfeit s's of the relief re-issue, of the

They differ from the genuine in the fact that,
in'the space ,between "re-issue s ' the line a
bore is only half a; wide as the genuine,
In The latter there is an open space between
the horns of the cow on the back ground,
which is not in the counterfeit. The words

LEAF EMU ITISTORL—ItWiId sees from

haveentirely forgotten his eiplicit and un
qualified declaration that he would not again
be a candidate. When notified of his nomi
nation-by the Baltimore Convention in 1848
he wrote a very properietter of acceptance.
in which there was the following paragraph :
"My immediate predecessor in the nomi
nation by the Democratic 'party announces
his determination net to be a candidata for
re-election. Coinciding with him in hisviews
so well expressed and so faithfully ,carriod
out, I beg leave to say that no . circumstance.
can , possibly arise which would induce me
again to permit nay tunnel.° be brouulat for

sense of duty equally dictate this course
It is incenceivable that his'friends should
labor for his nomination again ' in the face of
