It is a natural desire in all to be free from pain and suffering; but many miss their aim simply because they neglect the proper remedy. Of all afflictions to which hu manity is subject, those arising from colds are the mobt numerous, and often the most dis tressing. Now nothing ia easier to cure than a cold, if it is properly treated in time; and no remedy has been discovered which is more .sure to produce thai desired effect, than Shcr man's Lozenges. They hare been fully tried, and their virtue and efficacy have been testified in by thousands, who had suffered all the pains of even protracted disease. We have tried ihem ourselves, in caees of severe cold, and can add our experience to their wonderful cur ing powers. They act like a charm upon a person who is afflicted with a cough, givin him relief in the shortest imaginable time. They are also efficacious in cases of worms, &c. For particulars see advertisement in an other column. To Merchants. Wo would call the attention of merchants, and others, who deal in Cloths, Cassimeres, &c. m the advertisement of Messrs. Lippincot & Vaury, Philadelphia, inserted in to-day's pa-j-er. Their stock of goods is largo and new, ;;ud their prices quite as low as those of any urher establishment in the City. Storekeepers from this section of country, who make their purchasers in Philadelphia, would do well by givi.ngJMfcssrs. L. & P. a call, before buying -oUew here. The Tariff. The Loco Foco leaders in Congress have nmdr a dead set at the Whig Tariff, which was enacted two years ago, and which is spreading hie &ings all over the country. They have re j'oried a new Bill, by which the duties on most articles which come in competition with our own imluMry, are reduced at least one half. If the Bill should pass in its present shape, all the manufactories which have been opened within ihe last twelve months, will soon be closed aain, and the workmen thrown out of employ ment. A strong effort will be made to pass the JJiH; but as the Whigs are united against it, as one man, and are making every evertion to de feat Ji, we have hopes that it will not become alaw. The Lady's Book. The March and April numbers of this excel lent "monthly" have not, yet been received by. us. Wo are at a loss to account for this failure. We havo published the advertisement of the Book, for upwards of two months, whereas an exchange is promised to every paper that shall give it three insertions. We hope friend Go doy, will attend to forwarding the missing num bers to us, as we prize the work too highly to lose even a single number. The Columbian Magazine. We have received the April number of the Columbian Lady's and Gentleman's Magazine, an excellent monthly .periodical published in the City of New York. The number is beau tifully got up; contains a large amount of read ing matter, besides several highly finished en gravings and a plate of the latest fashions. The price of subscription, is Three Dollars per annum. The First Page We have placed, on the first page, of to-day's impression, -a number of extracts from the "Mis sissinnewa War Club" illustrative of the char acter of GEN. JOSEPH MARKLE, the Whig Candidate for Governor. We call upon our readers to give them a careful and attentive pe rusal, and after they have done so, to ask them selves seriously, if he is not a mart in whom they can place the utmost confidence, and who, if elected, would administer the Slate Govern ment with all fidelity and honesty. Canal Commissioner. Simeon Guilford, Esq., our Candidato for Canal Commissioner, has written a letter to the Committee, appointed by the Harrisburgh Con vention to inform him of his nomination, inform ing them of his acquiescence to bo a candidate. We are glad of this. Mr. Guilford is a prac tical engineer, and an honest man, and n il make an excellent officer. We predict his election by a large majority. O' Council Convicted. The Steam Ship Caladonia, arrived at Bos ton on Friday last, from Liverpool, bringing in telligence that the Stato'Trials in Ireland had been concluded, and that Daniel O'Connel, and his associates, were found Guilty of conspiring to spread dissension and dissatisfaction among her majesty's subjects, and to bring the Govern ment into disrepute, &c. Their sentence has been delayed until April. In the mean lime, it is said, they will move to arrest the Judgment, on account of some defect in the In dictment, and if they should fail in that, carry the case through all the Courts of Appeal in England. Gen. Joseph ITIarkle. Meetings have already been held in upwards of forty counties, since the 4th of March Con vention, and at erery one of them Resolutions have been passed highly complimentary to Gen. Markle, and a determination expressed to use every honorable means to secure his election. The people are heartily tired of Loco Foco mis rule, and as they know, our "old fighting Cap tain" to be an honest and capable man, are de termined to cast their suffrages for him, and place him at the head of our State affairs. Governor Porter. By late accounts from Harrisburgh, we learn that Governor Porter is quite ill. GLORIOUS TICTORT ! ! At the special election in Allegheny county, for a Member of Congress, to supply the va cancy occasioned by the resignation of the Hon. William Wilkins, appointed Sercefary of War, held on the 15th inst. Cornelius Dar ragh, Esq. the Whig Candidate was elected by nearly one thousand majority! Last fall, Mr. Wilkins, the loco foco candidate, was elected in the same District by upwards of two thous andmajority! Next fall Henry Clay and Gen. Markle, will carry Allegheny by upwards of 3000 votes, and no mistake. Connecticut. Tho annual election in this State for Gov ernor and Members of the Legislature, will be held on Monday next. Both parties have been actively engaged in canvassing the State, and hope for success. The campaign, on the part of the Locos has been carried on in the mctsl disgusting manner. Falsehoods of every ima ginable description have been industriously cir culated, and every thing else that is mean and low, almost, done to deceive the voters. On the part of the Whigs, every thing has been conducted in an open and straight-forward man ner. Our friends havo avowed themselves the friends of a "Protective Tariff," and under that and the Banner of Henry Clay, canvassed the State. Who will achiero the victory, we can not say, but we do know, that the Whigs ought. " JEFFERSON IAN REPUBLICAN Associate Judge. The Senato on Tuesday last -confirmed the nomination of John Merwine, as Associate Judge of this county. The Bone of Contention. The Legislature, after quarrelling three months, and spending about 30,000 dollars of the people's money, have at length passed a Bill which gives the State Printing to the low est bidder. The Governor has already signed it, and the time will shortly be fixed for receiv ing proposals. IjCffisIature of Pennsylvania. Correspondence of the Daily Chronicle. Harrisburg, March 22, 1844. Senate. Several bills were reported, and the Senate then resumed in committee of the whole, the consideration of the bill to incorpo rate tho Delaware Canal Company, and the amendment of Mr. Darsie having been disa greed to, the bill passed with several slight amendments as far as the 12th section, which having been read, Messrs. Hcckmah and Kid der opposed the amendment of Mr. Farrelly, and urged the construction of the proposed out let lock. Instead of reducing tho revenue on the division, it would largely increase it, and was the true course to increase tho value of the line. Alter some further remarks by Messrs. Mc Lanahan, Hughes and Farrelly, tho amendment to the amendment was adopted, and the amend ment as amended agreed to. The Senate met at 3 o'clock and took up the bill to incorporate the York and Cumberland Rail Road Company, which after some discus sion, was negatived by a vote of 10 to 18. The bill relative to the Poor of Moyamen sing township, then came up, when Mr. Crabb moved to require the township to pay $20,000 for the privileges conferred. Mr. Pennintan moved farther to amend by striking that out, and authorizing the districts of Spring Garden and Kensington each to elect an additional Guardian. The subject was then postponed until the 27th. The bill to incorporate the Emanuel Church of Holmesburg, passed final reading, when tho bill authorizing Notaries Publics to administer oaths and take acknowledgements of deeds, come up on second reading and was postponed indefinitely. House of Representatives. The Speak er laid before the House several bills, and a variety of bills were reported by members, when M. Roumfort read in place a supplement to the act extending the power of the Judges of the Supreme Court and the Courts of Common Pleas. Mr. Kerr moved to reconsider the vote by which the resolutions relative, to the annexa tion of Texas were rejected, which gave rise to a lengthy debate, when the motion was agreed to by .a vote of 50 to 40, and the question again being on transcribing the resolutions for a third reading, tho House adjourned. In the afternoon, a bill to compel the Tide Water Canal Company to receive one-fifth of their tolls in notes of their own issue, was un der consideration on second reading. The first section was adopted by a vole of 59 to 34. Harrisburg, March 23, 1844. In the House. Several bills from the Son ate, and a number heretofore noticed " in place,'1 were reported from the various Standing Com mittees. The Appropriation Bill was taken up again on second reading tho question, pending, being on Mr. RoumTort's amendment to the amend ment of Mr. Whitman, in relation to the tin drawnbalances in Treasury, on former appro priations, and the withdrawal of the appropria tion to Common Schools. The amendment to tho amendment, after an animated discussion, was disagreed to, yeas 39, nays 47, and the amendment of Mr. Whitman was agreed to, yeas 57, nays 29. A motion was then made to suspend the ap propriations to Common ScIiooIb for six years ; but the same was disagreed to 51 to 34. After much discussion the clause in the bill appropriating the sum of $200,000 to Common Schools was agreed to, yeas 5S, nays 31. The following are the items of appropriation already agreed to in the Bill : Expenses of Government $250,000, Pensions and Gratuities $47,000, Common Schools $200,000. In Senate Mr. Sjillivan, from tho majori ty of the Committee on Retrenchment, &c, re ported on the account of W. J. B. Andrews', late Clerk of the II. of R. who has over drawn eight or nine thousand dollars. The bill to sell the Delaware Division of the Pennsylvania Canal for $2,500,000 passed committee of the Whole. A message was read from the Gorernor in forming that ho has signed the bill to give the state printing to the lowest bidder. Whereup on, on motion of Mr. Sullivan, a resolution was adopted proidiug that the two Houses will meet in convention, lo receive "proposals" un der the act, on the 4th day of April next. Send on your proposals, for fear there should happen to bo no applicants. Mr. Darragh, representative elect to Con gress from Alleghany county, left Pittsburg on Wednesday for Washington. At a ball in New York a few evening1! since, a certain young lady, not having the dread of bankruptcy in her eyas, wore a dress which coat $550. It was of silk velvet, royal purple, bound with gold lace, and the diamonds with which the clasps of tho bracelets were studded were ebtimated lo be worth at least $3000. New Jersey.

A large male Puma was rocently killed in the town of Diana, Lewis county, New York. It was called, and supposed to be, a Panther. This Puma Cougar, or American Lion, is five feet nine inches long with a tail three feet and one inch. He has no mane, or brush at the end of the tail like the lion, though ol the same color. He has a round head and broad muzzle and body more slender and less elevated than the lion. Audubon's description applies to this animal, viz: "Tho upper parts of tho body are of a bright silvery fawn and tawney, hairs ter minating in whitish tips beneath and on the insides of the limbs he is neatly white and more completely so on the throat, chin and uppor lip, the head of an irregular mixrure of black and grey; outside of the ears at the base, and at the place whiskers take their origin, and the ex tremity of the tail, is black." The Puma is now seldom found in any part of the United States except' in some remote and unsettled spots. Olden Time. In Octobor, 1645, we find the following mea sure taken to prevent an idle life by the inhab itants of Falmouth. The names were present ed to the Grand Jury, as follows : " We pre sent Charles Potura, fer living an idle, lazy life, following no settled employment. Maj. Bry ant Bemblclon joined with the selectmen to dis pose of Potum, according to law, and to put him under family government. " We present Jere Gutridgo for an idle person, and not pro viding for his family, and giving reproachful language to Mr. Nat Frier, when he reproved him for his idleness." Jere for his offence re ceived 20 lashes on his back. If our young men now-a-days were punished for thoir idle and lazy habits, it would be better for their health, and more beneficial to the public. The Great Western Iron Works. This extensive works, including about 2000 acrei of land was sold on Monday last, at Kittanning, by the Sheriff of Armstrong county, Pennsyl vania, for $171,000, which covered a mortgage of 120,000 the judgment creditors and some other claims in the hands of Attorneys. The purchaser was Mr. Pray of Boston. Another Singular Marriage. Among the hills passed in the Pennsylania Senate, a few days since, was one to legalize the marriage contract between R. F. Brunson and wife they being uncle and niece, without a knowledge of that fact, until a considerable period after marriage. STARTLING FRAUDS! HOW THE LOCOFOCOS ACHIEVED THEIR VICTORY IN NEW ORLEANS! Judge Clliot Impeached! ! The New Orleans papers contain tho report of a committee of the House of Representatives of the State of Louisianna, on the chargos pre ferred against Judge Elliot for official miscon duct. Tho Tropic says, it exibils a series of fraud and corruption without a parallel in the history of this country. Tho Committee estab lish in the clearest manner, that in naturalizing foreigners every principle of law, honesty and decency has been wilfully and deliberately trampled under foot by Judge Elliot. If he and his compeers had set out with a settled deter mination to place the laws at defiance, to vio late the rights of tho citizens, and break down the safe-guards of popular government, it js clear that they could not havo been more suc cessful than they have been, while pretendin to act under color of law and the sanctity of tlu constitution. The report shows how the Whigs of New Orleans were beaten at the special election for Senator on the 2Gth ult. It establishes beyond all controversy that the legally qualified voiers of that great emporium were borne down bv men having not even the semblance of a right to vote, that the voice of her citizens was si lenced by the most open and unblushing frau l ever perpetrated. We beg the true men of the whole country to ponder deeply on the startling facts set forth in this report facts sustained by evidence which might be piled mountain highv-we ap peal lo them to do so, not as Whigs or as loco focos, but as American citizens, jealous of their rights ; as patriots anxious to uphold a free go vernment and the majesty of laws purely and properly administered. If they do so, they will bring their minds to the contemplation of a subject which is far, very far above the paltry considerations of party politics or party triumphs. If such frauds are not promptly punished if such corruption is not immediately dried up even in its very source and fountain, what se curity will we have for " life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness " Our boasted freedom will be a mocknry, our strentgh a by-word and our justice a term of hissing scorn and reproach. The report is the result of a long and laborious investigation, an investigation which has oc cupied weeks and weeks witnesses havo hecn examined, testimony sifted, and counsel heard on both sides of the question the report has been discussed before the House of Represen tatives, fully and fairly, and after the mattire.it deliberation, the House adopted the. whole re port and endorsed its statements by the emphat ic vote of iiirty-six in the affirmative to nine in the negative. It is now the report of i major ity of four to one of the people's representatives, irrespective of party ; tho report of a majority acting under the solemnity of an oath, with a perfect consciousness of the magnitude of tho occasion and the responsibility. We are happy to say that the House of Rep resentatives adopted a resolution for the appoint ment of a committee of five, with instructions to prepare articles of Impeachment against Judge Elliot of the city Court of Lafayettp. The resolution passed by a vote of 31 ayes to 6 noes. Resemblances. It is a remarkable fact, as has been remarked by some philosophical observer, that every an imal resembles mankind very strikingly in fea tures. For instance: Put a frock, bonnet and spectacles on a pig, and it looks like an old wo man of eighty. A bull dressed in an over over would resemble a lawyer. Tie a few ribbons round a cat, put a fan in its paw, and a board ing school miss is represented. A codkerel in uniform is a general to the life. The features of a tiger call to mind those of a sailor. A hedge hog looks like a miser. Dress a monkey in a frock coat, cut off his tail, trim his whis kers, and you have a Broadway dandy. Jack asses resemble a good many people. 31illerisni Tho last number of the Millerites' organ, tho " Midnight Cry," thus coolly notices the failure of their last prediction : Our position as to Time. We have no new light on the prophetic periods. Our time ends with this Jewish year. If time be continued beyond that, we have no other definite period to fix upon ; but, henceforward, shall look for the event every hour, till the Lord shall come. Others can give their views on the termination of the periods, on thoir own responsibility. If it be necessary, we shall give ours in full on the point. Let us all he ready; "having our loins girt about and our lights burning, that when the Master come'.h we may open to him immediately." J. V. Himes. New York City, March, 1844. TnACTS on the Tariff. Horace Gracl) editor of the New York Tribune intends issu ing as soon as possible, two tracts on tho will ject of the Tariff the first will appear wuihm. a fortnight, and will be on" 1 he fcariu as u is, and the substitute proposed by the Democ racy." The second number will; be on "Pro lection and Free Trade, or the Tariff Question Fairly Staled " Ca.val Trade Resumed. The Baltimore. Clipper of Friday says : T hero was an arri val of 450 bbls. of Hour at this port on Wednes day, from Harrisburg, via the Susquehanna and Tide Water Canal, and another yesterday of 600 bbls.
