Or The Whigs of Susquehanna county J
held a meeting at Montrose on the 20th in
etnnt. Col. Vm. T. Case of Gibson, presi
ded. Hon. Willam Jessup made a speech
an I reported some excellent resolutions. A
strong preference is expressed in them for
the nomination of Gen. Scott as the Presiden
tial candidate of the Whig Party. A well
deserved compliment is paid toex-Gov. John
eon, upon his retirement from office, and the
belief stated that 'A brighter path is yet be
fore him.'
lion. Wm. Jessup was named as the Sen
atorial Delegate to the next State Convention,
and J. M. Chinenden one of the Representa
tive Delegates the other being conceded to
Sullivan and Wyoming.
A Fini: Figl'ue. In a late debate between
General foote of Miss, and Senator Rhett, of
S. C, the General, in reply to the assertion
of Rhett, that he had never seen Gen Jack
son's Proclamation on Nullification, said: " I
would expect to see the devil sitting on a
stone fence, on a cold frosty morning, reading
the Bibie, as a regular South Carolina nulli
fier reading the Proclamation of Geri. Jack
son." Or The Pe'nnpylvanian of Jan. 20, con
tains an arlicle of considerable length on the
inauguration of Gov. Bigler. It thus speaks
of Gov Johnsson :
" His deception in regard to the State fi
nance?; his wanton disregard of decency, and
reckless neglect of dot', were the swelling
currents which threatened the permanency of
our institutions, and mainly tended to produce
Irs defeat. For many years, Pennsylvania
has never been so misgoverned. The corrup
tions of Ritnku's rule, was lost amid the li
centiousness of Johnston's government; and
the whole Union rejoiced in that honest pub
lic opinion which decreed hi3 defeat"
When wc remember that under Governor
Johnston's administration over $700,000 of
the Public Debt were paid ; that under it a
law was for the first time passed which estab
lished a system looking to the entire absorp
tion of that heritage of Locofoco misrule; that
under it the State credit rose to a higher
point than ft had 'attained for years; that
under it state stocks were of a higher value
tlian under any of his immediate Locofoco
predecessors; that under it the States obliga
tions were always promptly met; that the
interest on tne State debt was promptly paid
m p-r funds without a resort to a loan ; that
nt the t :nic time various important improve
ments were -made in the public works of the
Stale vv about any actual increase of the bur
thens or the people; that peculation was dis
countenanced and peculators watched that
thf public Treasury was guarded and its
funds not squandered, and that the first act
of the new Administration has been the ap
proval of a law authorizing a Loan to pay
w hat has for the last three years always been
paid without a Loan ; when the people re
member these startling, yet incontrovertible
fact.", they may see what have been the
highly beneficial effects of a Whig Adminis
tration and what promise to be the results of
the new Locofoco Administration. That the
Pcnnfttlvaaian should vilely calumniate an
honest public servant who always acted "with
:in eye to the honer and prosperity of the State
is not surprising. We Jcnow the the genius
of Locofocoism. It is the libelling of the
good, that the corrupt may prosper. Let the
Pennsylvanian go on. It has engaged in a
fitting and congenial task. But the people
are honest if Locofoco politicians are not, and
they will in due time properly rebuke the
defenders of that knavish policy which has
placed upon our Commonwealth, a huge debt
of over forfy millions ofdollars. Independent

Relief Notes.
From the Auditor-General's Annual Re
port, wc glean the following information re
lative to the "Relief Notes," which continue
lo form a portion of our State:
Original amount issued, $2,220,265
Amount of old issues redeemed, 2,162,848
Amount of old issue in circulation, 56,417
Amount re-issued and in .circulation, 592,746
' 05" Eggs aresreported to be very scarce In
New york, selling at 4 and 5 cents each, and
in some cases as high as 6 pence.
So We Go.
The Lebanon Courier says "It is a singu
lar and significant fact that the FinsT bill Gov:
Bigler signed was the bill authorizing the
State Treasurer to make a loan of $300,000;
Creation of debt has always been the favorite
policy of the locofoco party in this State.
They are returning to their old practices im
mediately uponlheir return' to power.',
The loan of 8300,000'Iias already been ne
gotiated. And now a bill Is before the House
at Harrisburg, in accordance with the recom
mendation of Gov. Bigler, to authorize a fur
ther loan of '800,000 to complete the North
Branch Canal. This makes l,100,000d$t
to be created in a few weeks after the new
Locofoco Governor comes jntooffioe. So we
go. Governor Johnston paid off about three
quartes of a million of the State Debt ;. and
Gov. Bigler alreadywishes jto increase it more
than a million. If the people like this kind
of democratic economy, why of course they
are antitled to: have1 It- Bucks Cihtniy ''In-

while the others struck up a fire and awaited
his return. One of them wishing to see if
decomposition had taken place, .touched her
with his cane, when to his astonishment, she
slightly moved her head. After applying the
usual remedies she recovered sufficiently to
to converse with them. She stated that she
had not eaten or drank anything but snow
since, she left home, and had been out in the
weather all the time fourteen days. She is
in, a fair way to recover. When she left
home she was very fleshy, but when found
was, perhaps, the most emaciated creature ev
er seen alive. These facts can be substanti
ated by the testimony of some af the most re
spectable men of our county.
Execution of Knickerbocker.
In Buffalo, on Friday last, Hiram
Knickerbocker was execute J for the mur
der of G. narkner. He was calm and
self-'posessed when he appeared upon the
scaffold, and addressed the assemblage
as follows :
" I wish to say L am innocent of the
intentional murder of Harkner. If the
Governor and people could know all, they
would not hesitate to commute my sen
tence, if not to pardon me. You are
hanging a man tor larceny. 1 had. no
intention to kill Harkner, nor can I ac
count for his death, except that I lost my
presence of mind. With my last breath,
I say that I- am innocent." The priso
nor, here turned to the clergyman, and
said : "These are my sentiments I feel
it." ne then continued to the people :I
trust in God I know that he is near to
me now. God wi'l forgive me and relieve
my soul. T repeat, that I am innocent
of the intentional murder of any man.
These are ray -dying words, as I said be
fore." He then spoke gratefully of the
attentions received from Sheriff Farnham
and others, and shook hands with him
and all on the scaffold. At 12 minutes
past 12 o'clock the Sheriff cut the rope,
and the wretched man was launehed into
eternity. As he was placed on the trap
door, he exclaimed," Oh, save me,
Christ, save me !" lie died easily, aud
with but little struggling. About 150
persons witnessed the execution, but
thousands had gathered outside the walls
of the prison.
A Whole Village in Ashes.
Jl fire broke out on the night of the 9th
ult. in the Columbian Hotel, in Hunters
ville, Pocahontas county, Ta., which de
stroyed the whole village, except the
t0ourt House. The landlord of the Co
lumbian, togethor with his family, and
Dr. Moffett, lady,children, and servants,
who were boarders, barely escaped with
their lives by leaping from the windows.
Mrs. Moffett leaped from the second story
window with her child in her arms, and
is severely, if not fatally injured. Loss
estimated at $15,000 or 820,000. Dr.
Moffett lost S500 in money. Mr. Car
penter and family, of the Columbian Ho
tel, did not save clothing enough even to
cover themselves.
Kossuth, in one of his speeches
addressing the ladies, said : " With us,
the widow remains the head of the family,
as the father was. As long as she lives,
she is the mistress of the property of her
deceased husband. Under the old con
stitntion of Hungary, the widow of thc
lord had'a right to send a representative
to the parliament, and in the oounty
elections of public functionaries, widows
had a right to vote alike with the men.
Death of two Robbers.
On the night of the 17th ult., three
ruffians entered the house of Mr. Abner
Davis, of Worthington township, Rich
land county, Ohio, and demanded his mo
ney ; one of the men at the same time
presenting a pistol at the head of Mr.
Davis, and the others prepared with blud
geons and knives, in case of resistance.
Mr. D. finding resistance useless, unlock
ed his chest, and gave them his money,
(8930,) after which they loft, and being
followed soon afterwards, by Mr. Davis
and others, two of them were found frozen
to death, about a mile from where they
oommitted the robbery,, and the other
some distance beyond, apparently, re
turning to his lifeless companions, al
most insensible the night being stormy,
and a good deal of snow having fallen.

Printing the Luavs.
The following seasonable remarks we
find in the Wayne County Herald, and
in transferring them to our columns, we
have in view the directing them directly '
to the notice and consideration of our
law makers at Harrisburg. There are
now scores of laws upon record, (printed,
bound, and laid away, by contract,) with
which the people generally never become
acquainted ; and if -their passage is at
all intended for general good, they should
certainly become generally known ; and
for this end no better plan could l)e adopt
ed than the one suggested by our excel
lent contemporary:
" An effort was made last session in
our Legislature to pass an act authoris-
ing the printing of the public laws, in at diet an(j ta-e regUlar exercise in the o
least one paper published m the several ai and he will soon be well; in a
counties ot the commonweaitu. mailed
because of the fear of entailing upon the
people an additional expense, and a con
sequent increase of the Sate debt. As
we are opposed to creating any additional
burthen on the tax payers of the State,
we, nevertheless, think such parsimony,
is not an evidence of sound and whole
some reform. It is little people get for
their money, and they should be allowed
to reap the benefit which may be derived
from the publication of the general laws.
We know it will be argued, as it always has
been that more injury is created by such
policy than good, but we are unable to
see the force of the reason. Scarcely
a winter passes without some alteration
being made in those laws which effect town
ships and officers, and if they were pub
lished, all excuse of error in the perfor
mance of official dnty, would be removed.
The law relating to Estrays for example.
There are scarcely ten men in a town
ship who know what the law is and what
is required in taking up Estrays. A
poor man in the country, ignorant of
what he has to do, unable to fee a lawyer,
is yet liable to be prosecuted for not per
forming a duty he is ignorant of. Should
this evil not be remedied ? Let the mil
lions of dollars expended for purposes of
less importance to the people, be devoted
to objects, which would in reality, create
a "benefit, and the people will feel much
better satisfied.
We hope the subject will be again
agitated this winter, and that every press
in the State will take up tlie matter and
insist upon its passage. It is needed
the people require it, and it ought to be
done."
jgg?-Mr. Rhett, U.S.Senator from South
Carolina, the successor of the distinguish
ed Calhoun, in a thrilling speech the oth
er day in the Senate, indulged in certain
strange and prophetic admissions. His
admissions were (as a correspondent
from Washington to the Independent
states, that the " people of New England,
with poor soil, were the mo3t prosperous
and happy people in the world." But how
is it, South ? Turning to Mr. Foot, he
said: "Even your cotton-growing State is
becoming comparatively weaker." Seem
ing to forget that the government had
ever been the patron of the South, he
declared in this language, "Under the
evident tendency of the Federal Govern
ment, it could not be long before Mary
land, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Missouri, and North Carolina would be
free, and then a general emancipotion
would follow. This Union would seal the
destiny of the South socially and politi
cally." .
Thc Philadelphia Sim relates that as
one of the police officers of that city was
proceeding along the sidewalk on Sunday
afternoon last, while the snow was fal
ling thick and fast and the wind blowing
in eddying gusts and piercing cold, the
sobs of a child 'attracted his attention.
He soon found a poor little boy in an
alley standing up to his middle in the
snow, and benumbed with the cold. The
little flclow told the officer that he had
been sent out to clear away the snow
from the alley. " Go into the houso,"
said the bfiicer, "and tell your mother
that she ought to be ashamed of herself,"
" My mother," replied the boy, "is dead ;
I'm a little bound boy, now." Comment
is unnecessary.

While in "England it is a matter of j

the newly elected Senator from Louisia-

Palpitation of the Heart.
Tea, Cqffcc) and Tbbacco. Professor
W. Parker, of the New York College
of Physicians and Surgeons, at a recent
clinical lecture examined a man who was
troubled with palpitation of the heart.
The report states that the physical signs
of organic disease of the heart could be
detected ; and hence we may conclude,
says Professor Parker, with much cer
tainty, that all the cardiac disturbances
is purely functional, depending on de
rangement of the digestive organs ; and
this organ depending on tha free use of
tobacco, tea and coffee, and confinement
within doors. What then are the indi
cations of treatment? Shall we give
physic in such a case? Physic cure bad
habits ? Not a bit of it. Let the patient
simply throw away his tobacco, his tea

word, remove the cause of derangement,
