A very considerable amount of property 11/19 been •destroyed by fire in this ccointy since our last publication. .On Wednesday morning last aboutfi o'clock, the barn . o f Mr. Philip • Black; in Dickinson township, was discovered to-he on fire; and being in the country, before sufficient assistance could be-procured was consumed.-- Aboiii-an-hour after, Pio ..barn of Mr. black, a 'brother of the first, was also discovered to be on fire and was also entirely destroyed. With these !barni were burnt several steels of grain, a car. .rlage and some other things; making the loss very considerable, although we have not heard this ex aet 'irniount. - Both of theso fIIrCE; wcro considercd to bo.the work of an incendiary. On Thursday evening Nast, -the barn of Mr. • Robert Bryson,,inAllen township, Was burnt to the ground, and with it five mules and two horsesi which were unfortunately burnt_ to death before they could be rescued from the flames. These were the principal loss, the barn being not a very valuable bnilding. The latter fire, we understand had its origin in the want of proper care •in wagoner who went into the barn after night with a !anthem and accidentally communicated _fire to some of the combustible materials in the ;building. Elegant Parade. The company of U. S. Light Artillery, Capt. Wasmscrox, stationed at the Garrison, near this borough; paraded in town on Thursday morning last, in full uniform. The company numbers about seventy very fine.loOking men, and with their equipments and field-piecea make a very formid able as well as elegant appearance.

Mr. Headly, a luctaoco Senator, intimated a favorable disposition to such a course a fewdayiragp in de bate, and it: is said a number of loco foe° mein-. bers.of the House are in favor. of it.

Sensible—quite So! The Volunteer publishes the proceedings of a Loco Foco meeting in West Pennsborough town ship, in this County, one of the resolutions of which declares the meeting to be in favor of the emission' of Sinall notes by the Banks, to take the place 'of the; Relief notes. The meeting also declares that "the evils under which the community labors are caused by the want of it proper circulating medium, which is of vital im. portance to all trade and business." Now. gentlemen, that-is candid and honest.— Distress and difficulty do exist in the 'country, and are caused by nothing else than the want of e "proper circulating medium." Such a medi um as the U. S. Bunk furnished the country in its former palmy-days of prosperity, and such a currency as,—if the people would only discard the idle cant of the demagogues of the day, and open their eyes to their true ihterests—wo might have again. Restore us but the currency of 1830, and the now desolate places of our country would soon - blossom as the roie, 7 -the paralyzed and prostrate energies.of our people would spring in to-now life and animation, and prosperity and happiness at once illumine and gladden the coun try. E• „Will the members of this meeting remember their present opinions in 1844, when National questions are to be voted upon? • Or will they be again frightened from acting accord:n• to their true interests by the' bugaboo cry of "mon ster," and leave the country to groin still lon ger under these evils t Excellent !

This eminent citizen passed through our bor. oughon Thursdayjast, en route to the WCit.— Althotigh his 'arrangements for a rapid Journey, onward; precluded very :extensive, arrangements for his reception, the °Oldie spirit , of our , citizen, did not permit the occasion to:paes : .withoulun . clipreiriet - e — thiliffeetation• of their esteem for one' who his rendered such ideal tervice to his coml. - trYi-both. -in _war _andin_peace,_ The arrange ments - were hastily agreed upon,.but the , • recep. thin was as creditable to all concerned, as we are_ informed it was vilifying to Gen: CABO. Upon the approach of: the Cars to town,•a salute of artillery was fired, announeing his arrival.— After reaching the rail road bridge at theeast'end of the 'town; the' care' cars' stopPed and 'the. General alighted, when he was met by a Committee, the three fine volunteer ,companies *of our ,borough, • and almost the • entire mass of our citizens; who had assembled to greet him.. The distinguished stranger was then placed in a carriage, attended tiiGen. S.' Alexander,' Rev. J. V. E. Thorne and Dr. G. D. Foulke, of this ,place; after .which procession was formed by the military and citi- zens, under the direction of Gen. Willis Foulke, chief marshal, end. Col. Armstrang_Noble—and Capt. Samuel Crop, assistants, by 4fiom the Gen eral was escorted to MacFarlane's HuteL , Here the procession stopped, and the General alighted, and attended by 'the committee ascended to the balcony Of the Hotel,- where he was met by the Faculty of Dickinson College and. a large numbeicd, citizens. S. Duindtr ADAII, Esq. diet welcomed him to the borough ,on behalf of our citizens. in a brief but exceedingly neat and per. tinent address, which was substantially as follows : HomesEn Sia :—The: citizens of Carlisle by whom I Lave been deputed, to welcomeyou among there, have in the arrangement made for your're .ception labored no effort at, empty pageantry, Or ,idle ceremony. 'Not prompted by. any motive of gaining favor for . themselves, or of making an outward manifestation of esteem unfelt, and sep orated by no feeling of political favoritism, they have assembled 'to hail with heartfelt greetings one whom the "delight to honor." In this our beloved country the well-tried and faithful public. servant has ever .a home in the hearts of his countrymen, and to them no one of . the living sages and patriots whose names adorn the page of America's history ie more endeared than he whom I address. - Ho who signalizes himself as a bravo Captain in the armies or his country;: commands hie country's gratitude; he, who as a Statesman evi dences ability, firmness and honesty, secures his country's respect. Upon the American people, yotr, Sir, have 'this twofold claim. Equally in the Field, in the Cabinet, and in-Legislative councils, have your patriotism end honor been 'tested and never found wanting, and you now return to your native land from a •mistion laved with an addi- tional gem glittering in your coronet. The short time you remain with ua .will not al low the recital of the oats - of your public life which haie raised you to an eminence where the world may behold you: We can only give the assurance that .Ave..know and appreciate your worth. The consciousness of having faithfhlly perform. ed every public duty entrusted to you, will render your-declining years as calm & Serene, as those Of your past life have been useful.. We greetyou then as the soldier and the states man whom we love and honor, and. welcuinc you to our midst. Gen.Ciss, at distance we stood' could not be heard distinctly, but waif understood to reply as follows: Sin you, and.thnso whom•you repro. sent,for the,kind sentiments expressed towards me. Ikly public services und•the character you give to them have been rather the remilt of the gcnerosi ty - tif my fellow-citizens than of any merit of my own, Since I have come into Pennsylvania, I have had-from-her people flattering evidence of their respect, and this further testimony.of regard I shall never cease to remember with gratitude. Three hearty cheers ascended from the crowd at the closeof the address, and the ceremonies then ended.. Gen. Cass remained in town about an hour and a quarter, during which time a great number of citizens embraced the opportunity to be int7oduced and shake him by the hand. . Gen.

The Earthquake of the 9th instant appears to have been felt very generally throughout, the West and South-west. It is noticed by the pa pers of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, MissStith Georgia, and other States. The three American fashionable° in Paris are stated to be the Marchioness of Lavalette, (Mrs Wells) Mrs. Thorne and Mre. Benham. Ache( to the States. In the Indiana Legislature on the Gth inst. Judge Ewing (formerly in Cohgress) made a ro. port on behalf of one of the standing committees, in which Mr. Johnson's plan of relief to the States is spoken of with much favor. Five hundred copies of the report wero ordered to be printed. A large meeting was held at Havre-de-Grace on Saturday, at which resolutions were adopted, op proving the plan of relief to the States proposed by the Hon. Wm. Cost Johnson. Would it not be well for people in this gusher who are in favor of 'this measure, to take some steps, either by public meeting or petition,to make their feelings known to Congress? The people should speak out now when they have an oppor. tunity of being heard.

State: Therefore • . Resolved, That it is respectfully recommended by this meeting of Whigs members of the Leg's. !afore that the proposed Convention of the friends of flxurreCiAir,•be held at Harrisburg, on WED. NESDAY the 22d of FEBRUARY next, and that. the hig citizens of the several counties who have not yet acted upon this subject meet . ' and elect such number of delegates as they may deen - expedient to represent them on that occa sion : for the promotion of which object this meet. ing confidently rely on the known zeal of those to whom it is addressed in favor of "Harry of the West," and the high appreciation entertained by them of his character and the indispensable ne.• meg ty of his services,th the welfare of our country. On motion,Resolved, That the Whig papers throughout tle State-he requested to ,publish the proceedings of this meeting. • - Tile proximity of Cumberland county to the place of holding the Convention, and the cheap , and easy facilities which the :central and lower portiim elle people of the County-possess for get ling there, make it incumbent .upon every true friend of. Henry Clay 'to see that Cumberland is well and-truly represented. . It will be seen that it is contemplated to hold- a MASS CONVEN. TION, and therefore thievery genuine friend of the belov'ed and distinguished Statesman in the county, is invited to ho a delegate. Let us . then turn Out, nein the glorious Harrison campaign ! The. Harrisburg Intelligencer' thus alludes to the-importance of this Convention.— This -move ment, says that paper, - is ono of the highest portance to the friends of the cause, • and if welll attended, will not' fail to be prochictivc of great good. A plan of organization may 'be matured at this Convention, which will unite tho party, consolidate its strength, and give union energy, and efficiency of action to the friends of the Great American Statesman, which wr o moc to Sc. lure to lain the vote - of Pennsylvania for tire Pre. sideneyin 1844. Immediate, , _thorough and vie.- oroys ORGANIZATION is necessary. Without it,rlo. feat is inevitable—with it; sucCass - is rendered al most certain. It was abundantly demonstrated in 1840, that.the Democratic party in Pennsyl vania have the strength tooarry the State at any time, if they can get out i th eir whole vote. This is all that is necessary.' pr g anize the party pro: pedy, and the vote can be brought .out. Let this Convention, then, be well attended by delegates from every part of the State—let a well digested plan of operations for the campaign be matured—and let that plan be carried out with energy and efficiency, and depend upon it the vote of the "Keystone" in 1'844, will be given .to HENRY CLAY. The people ore tired of the mis. rule and corruption of the party-in power, and if shown that we have confidence in the success of our cause, and carry it on with spirit and vigor, they will flock to our standard, glad of the op- portunity to secure a change of rulers, and thro' thorn tlM'adoption of measures in the State and National Governments which. will once more bring back the country to. its former palmy state of prohpority and happiness. Legislative Printing. • The amount paid for State printing in New York from 1835 to 1839, five years, was $lB4-, 996 69 ; averaging $36,999 33, for each year.— The total sum paid from 1840 to 1843, three years, was $137,954 69, averaging $45,651 56 for each year. This does not include anything for print ing- the final report of the Geologists, which for the last year may amount to $ ( 8:000 . or $9,000. The, above statement, says the Harrisburg Telegraph, we believe, includes the printing of the laws, and all the printing done by the State Printer for any or all of-thn departments. • Now let us look for a moment, at the . cost Of the Legislative Printing of Pennsylvania, for the last six years, without including either the print ing of its Laws in English or Geimanthe bind. log or the- printing of nay of• the departments. The Mewing statement_w_as_conderise_d_to the House, by Mr. iIIiCEMAN:in his remarks in'favor of retrenchment in printing. It' has been made by us heretofore, with the exception of the amount of last year; but its repetition may be of use at this time, when the people are taxed, sorely taxed to sustain such extravagance, and at the same time deprived of the means of payment, by 'the ruinous measures of those that bind' the burthen upon them. It la taken from the Journal of the two Houses, and if doubted by any one, can be re. leered to. PENN'A LEGISLATIVE PRINTING Years. House. Senate.

A writer in the Philadelphia Chronicle-attacks the late appointment by the Governor of his son as Sheriff of that county, itiMO 'gentle terms.— He writes with energy and spiiii,LndiTlkili to give tho Sheriff some uneasiness.--He argues that, besides the great. impropriety of themppoint. ment, ills not valid, end 'quotes in support of his position,.from the 7tliiiction of the- Gth article of the Constitution of the State; which reads as follows : .. "No person shall be appointed to any office with in any County who shall nut' have been a citizen and an inhabitant therein one year next before his agOointment, if the County shall have been so long erected." .Mr. Porter, it appears went to Philadelphia in May 1842, and was appointed' Prosee k uting At torney, and iW\December IA Father appointed Lim Sheriff. The writer thus showing that he (Porter) has not resided in the county "one year next before his appointment," goes on to show that the titles of property sold by him cannot be valid, nrid urges upon . the Legislature the nsees. Sity of remedying the evil by the prompt pas: sago of a low making the sales gond.:. The character, of a CHRISTIAN GENTLEMAN is thus sketched by Dr. Bethune, of Philadrlphia, in a recent oration before the Pastor's Rhetorical Society of Andover, entitled " The Eloquence of the Pulpit, with Illustrations from St Paul." "Orin I be wrong in sayirfg that a Christian preacher should be the highest style_ of a gentle. man ? Not one of those polished hypocrites, fasli. ioued by the tailor, dancing-master and hair-doss.

How long will the people listen to such hypocritical . cant?' The Locofoco party have ever beenthe opposers of the intereats of the poor..
