Consistency.
A month ago the Legislature passed an
Act authorizing Municipal Corporations to
subscribe, without the vote of their respec
tive constituencies, to the stock of the Sun
bury and Erie Railroad Companv. That bill
wa8 instantly approved by Gov. Bigler and 1
become a law. Last week the Legislature
passed an Act authorizing Municipal Corpo: I
rations to subscribe, without the vote of their
respective constituencies, to the stock of the '
Pittsburg and Erie Railroad Company. Thii
This r
bill Gov. Bi?Ier vetoed, and for no other rea-
t
son than because it empowered Municipal .

Corporations to make subscriptions to the

approved while the other was vetoed. In ex- :

(r A movement which well illustrates
the unscrupulpusness of locofoco politicians
wasi'nwde in theVNew York Legislature about
two jweeks gp. The .lower House was
Vyjiiig by a majority of one vote. The .peat
otphe Whig!gi8 contested. The case was
investigated in Committee, brought before
the House and decided in favor of the Whig.
After the decision, several of the Whig mem
bers were absent and the Locofocos had
temporary control of the House. They re
considered the Question, threw the House
into the utmost confusion, defied the Speak
er, set the rules of order at naught, contin
ued in session nineteen consecutive hours and
finally succeeded in ousting the Whig and
putting in the Locofoco member ! Locofoco
journals, say nothing against this outrage;
though if Whigs had perpetrated it, it would
have before this been heralded from one. end
of the land to the other. Whilst these
scoundrels are almost daily thus engaged in
trampling upon public and privaiearights
setting at defiance all law and breaking
their oaths of office, thev have the effront-

Loss of the Henry Clay Medal.
The magnificent gold medal presented to
the Hon! Henry Clay, by a number of the
citizens of New York, was lost on Saturday
evening in this city. It appears that after
the. presentation, Mr. Clay discovered some
deficiency in' the lettering on the medal, which
ho wished rectified, and accordingly gave
it in the euro of Miss Emma C. Lynch, the
poetess, to bring on to this city, in order that
the desired "alteration might be made by the
engravef. This medal, valued at 2,500,
was enclosed in a massive silver case, and
was placed by Miss. L. in her carpet-bag, in
order that she might keep it by her side.
In company with two friends of hers, a
gentleman and lady, she arrived in the city
on Saturday afternoon by the 2 o'clock Phil
adelphia train, when the three took a carriage.
One of the party, the lady, left the carriage
at her residence, in Walker Btreet at this
time tho carpet-bag, which had been placed
outside, was seen all safe, but upon the ar
rival of the carriage at the corner of Broadway
and Grand St., Miss L.'s destination, it was
gone, having either been thrown off by the
driver, or accidentally lost. Search was im
mediately made, but no traces of either could
be found. A reward of 500 has been offer
ed for its recovery. N. 1. Sun.
' fjC!7 Mr. Charles Butler, the gentleman
who "had the misfortune to lose the above val
uable medal, has given an order to have an
other prepared precisely like the first, at his
own individual expense. The medal was
placed in his carpet bag, and not as above
stated in that of Mi'es Lynch.
' Shooting Children. A man named W.
Paterson, of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, was recen
tly lodged in jail for shooting several school
children with intent to kill them. It appears
that he kept a number of dogs which he oc
casionally set on the children going to school,
and they opened a fire upon the dogs in re
turn, with snowballs ad other missiles.
The account states: "Tuesday eening, the
school children got again snowballing the
dogs; a difficulty with him arose, when he
took a double-barrelled shot gun, and fired
twice upon the crowd. A son of Mr. Woy
man, a daughter of Mr. Smith, and two oth
ers, were wounded pretty severely. This
raised a great excitement, and after Paterson
was put in jail, a crowd gathered, tore down
his house, killed his dogs, and demolished the
premises generally.

The Seward Association of Brooklyn,

Washington, March 12, 1S52.
Gentlemen: It was only -yesterday
that the pressure of public business obli
ged mc to decline the honor of meeting
a number of Irish friends at the approach
ing celebration of St. Patrick's Day in
Philadclphra. I beg you will accept what
I said to them in reply :
"You do me but justice in supposing
me to take a lively interest in Ireland
and her sons. Perhapsnoman certainly
no American owes so much to the valor
and blood of Irishmen as myself. Many
of them marched and fought under my
command in the war of 1812-15, and
many more thousands fti the recent
war with Mexico not one of whom was
ever known to turn his back upon the
enemy or a friend."
I. remain, Gentlemen, with warmest
regards, yours most truly,

A wf ul Tragedy.
About eleven o'clock on Monday
night, the 22d instant, a shocking murder
was perpetrated in a house at the North
west corner of Northampton and Juliana
streets. The Coroner's Jury had not
yet reported when our paper was pre
pared for tho press, but the following
appears to be the circumstances connect
ed with the dreadful transaction.
Barnet Andrews with three or four oth
er families occupied the building. An
drews lived in the second story. Hearing
semething strike the window, he went
out, when his wife locked the door. Find
ing the door fastened on his return, he
broke it open, and taking hold of her,
with a razor cut her throat, causing in
stant, death. He confessed the deed,
surrendered himself and was committed
to jail.
Andrews is a laborer about thirty-five
years of ago, and a drinking man, who
was on several occasions sent to jail on
account of difficulties with his wife and
others. He had been but a few weeks
out of jail. His wife, if reports 'are true,
was not a woman of good character

from their resting places, and removed

breeches in parts not to be spoken of
he has rooted into mud like unto a swine.
His beard hath grown long the skin upon

until he is'now likened unto a wild beast,
and his garments are rent and soiled bo

i Yea he who n time past was wont to
' fare sumptuously and to grumble over
I greater delicacies than were piled upon
the tables of Divines, now snufrs with
gladness the fragrance of pork and beans,
and gnashes his teeth impatiently ovor a
frying slapjack. Ho bolteth a raw on
ion with unspeakable, avidity. Potatoe
skins fear his presence beef vanishes
before him, and dogs look in vain for the
bones. He sifrhs for the flesh pots of
Egypt, and mourns over the bareness of
the land. In his sleep nevertheless, the
good angle of the past 'designs to visit
him, and delightful visions are open to
his recollection, for a delicious bill of
fare floats before the mind of the dream
er, and he orders "oysters and terrapins
for six,' only to waken to his infernal
slapjacks and molasses. .
All this hath thy servant endured. Is
j- he not then a fool, an abomination in the
sight of wisdom? And is it not unto such,
and such only, that-fortune dispenses her
favors?- let she hath deserted mc. I ap
proach her and she fleeth! "I double on

wait her coming, and she stands still.
I secerete myself in her path, and seize
her unawares! ' But she glideth off, as
though I had caught a hog by the greased
