A Feudal Wife:

Again t roUgh the wild vicissitudes
of feudal ti mes, the moral and physical
infranch'sement -ceased not, however,
slowly a d ascretly to advance. The
feudal laws wisely borrowed. from the
'paternal institutions of ilia barbarians a
decree, assigning to woman as her right;
a certain portion of the property acquir
ed by her husband during his married
life. The 'Barbarian',- code, indeed
went further than this; for they forbade
the husband to sell the wife's property
without her own Consent,as well as that
of her nearest living relative: True it
„.
•is that by a_yet earlier law a . widow on
thedeath bed df her hneband,was Obliged
tipsy hie debts, and if prevented by
foverty from so 'doing, was unable to
contract another marriage, unless the
second husband took upon hint the dis
charge of her obligations. But,ata late
period, the performance Of a singular
ceremony pt the grave of the deceased
husband sufficed .to liberate his widow
from the -necessity of payment. - The
ceremony im allude'to was this :
.0h the dapof , the funeral the widow
followed the body to the eemetaryv whit,
a girdle about her waist, and bearing in
her hands the keys of the holm. As
soon as the corpse was buried ; she un
fastened the girdle',lnd let it drop ; then
threw the bunch of keys upon the grave,
and thus renounced all part or lot in her,
husband'. debt',-for she had stripped off
the' cord with which hcfloins had been,
girded for household labor, end flung
away the keys which guarded the furni
ture of the- conjugal dwelling. • This
ceremony performed,she returned home,-
and thence she was ellotved to remove
her.richest bed, with' its garniture,, her
dress of-ceremony, 44. the beet of her
jewels; or, at:least, she cnight take away
her. every, day, garrnen s, those 'which
she had worn during her. husband's last

The Bribery Business
The Volunteer, in speaking of the bribery
'ranaactions at .Williamsport, says, "how many
were bribed of course is not known." This,
bribing the. Volunteer charges was altogether
practised by tile- Cameron-men, and as Mr.
Nubia , the Cameron candidate opened with a
vote of 33 on the first ballot, and we find
among these third'shreo the , nameeof Colonel
Samtiel VV„Rdbuili and John C, l Dullap of
Cumberland C . ntint&we should' like to know'
whether the Vold eer means to intimate - that
all of these thirty-three were bribed.
But was all the bribing done bribe Cameron
men If rumor speaks true, one of the • Board
of Canal Commissioners, was on the ground,
and was not idle at the work of .pushing among'
delegates and throwing, out hints about the
"patronage" of the Board toward certain dele
gates who were eZpectants of places on the
line of improvements. He did net, to be Buie,
go with - the - money in his hand, but he used
what the Camerou•men bad not in their gift,
the promise of. office.

hag in ho outeFhalls, until the feelings of in.
justici, disappointment, and degradation are
rapidly taking possession not only :if their
jlli hit - also the hearts of the people they
rep ent. Doing all this time we are collec
t' g. millions of dollars from them in the shape
of duties; without rendering them the slightest
equivalent. This, under the 'circumstances, is
taxation without representation, in its most o
dious form.
But the same factious spirit to which I have
before alluded. opposes'fliis just - meeitiris - ivitli=
out coupling With it questions which have no
natural or necessary connection with it what
ever. • It is dieeult to perceive any thing in
her application for admission, which should
subject her to the dangers_and_delayi °facer&
promise. If she is entitled to admission into
the Union let her, be admitted. If not, lot her
be rejected. As to Now Mexico she has •the
samn - IddiirTaws, in subs once , under which her
citizens haie lived For h If ecentury, mid which
are better adapted to t o wants and conditions
of her people than an laws which' we could
enact; if permitted - o do so, they will soon

i
sion inhithe Uniori. By adopting this c3urse,
all agitation wouldicoasa, and neither section
of the Union would be called upon to make any
sacrifice of principle.' •
With regard tothe l'exati boundary question
I have-to say; that ifthat portion of Neir Miik
ieci lying Eest of - the - RIO Grande, belongs to'
Texas, let her have it--1., fur one, do not wish ,
to purchase It. We have already about fifteen ''\ '
- hundred millions of-acres ofpubliclands,which,__
it'would seem, should lie'iiffielent Air our pre
'sent purposes. If it does not belong to Texas,..
we ought oat 'to Pay hur ton millions, or an .
sum, Tor what already belongs to us. TI
question oUght to be, and would be; decided y
.the Supreme Court Of the United States if N.
Mexico were admitted into the -Union •'its a
sovereign State. -
As to the reclamation of fugitive slaves, all,
of every creed ° and Ray, admit the obligations
imposed by the constitutieti, and stand ready
at all:times to fulfil.those obligations; by enact
ing all necessary and proper laws for that pur
pose.
As muchas has been said about the toss of
property by the- slaveholding States, ',will ,ven
ture the remark, that Perintytvanta alone has
I lost more by the-repeal of the Tariff of 1842,
than the value of
.all the doom that have es
caped from all thgelaveheldiag States since the
formation of the
Union. -
Lastly, in the catalogue of "compromises,"
comes the question of the slave trade in the-
District of Columbia. This trade-has-been de- •
nounced by Southern statesmen in the most on
', measured terms, as an unmitigated - evil—alike °
disgraceful to the nation, and ;he uge in which
we live—as injurious to the slivtiholdir
posing upon hina * the most worthless and erim-'
inal portion pf the slave population of the old
States and, finally, as "derogatory to the dig
nity of the system of- slavery itself."
From this brief review of the different quee.
tions sought to bo connected with the admis
sion of California, it is difficult to perceive any
good reason for such a. course of legislation.—,
Each measure should, be permitted to stand or
fall by - its own merits. This is the course re
commended by the President, n the more

The scones in the Convention are 'described
as exceedingly rich. Mr. Johnston, of Lancas

corruption of the deepest dye could be proved
against-certain persons, but hesitated to name

to itlr t Donahue of y hiludelphia.county, who
threw deism upon the table infionisTir thePre':

of the same county, said that he had also re

source. A committee was appointed who ve•

JOHN S. Rimlikno;Esq.—Sir: Your letter of
the 25th instant,ienquiring what is the proper
construction of the 29th section of the act re
lating-to Common Schools, passed 7th of April,
1839, so far as the assessment of School Taxab
is concerned, is now before me. Alihohedi
there is some ambiguity in the VeCtieh alluded
to, ye: a careful examination of its language
and the terms used, will lead to the result in
tended by 'the legislature.
in levying the tax; it is the duty of the board
of directors in thefsrst place, to assess upon all
/offices and posts of rout, professions, trades,
bnd occupations, an upon ail single freemen
above the age of twenty-one, ears, who do not
fellow any. occupation, any sum which they
may deem proper and sufficient not exceeding the
amount assessed on the Same for State and
county purposes: except, that the slim assessed
on each, (office, post of profit, profession, trade,
ormupatiomand single freemen) shall its no case
be less that) fifty cents.
1 - laving done this they should in . the the sec
ond place ascertain the balance of tax to be rai
sedranct apportlon it upon the property of the
district, made taxable for State and County
purposes. Farming is not deemed an occupa
tion, as contemplated ln the Scoot Lew.
Under the foregoing provisions, persons hol
ding office, 80 4 may be assessed more than fifty
cents, but .ever less , . Their properly is also lia
ble to be assessed with the other property of
the the district, for thd balinice of the tax to be
raised, lifter the first assessment.elall have
been completed.
in the foregoing' .T have emphasized thop
terms considered MoSt siirriticant in the see•

more clear appreciation of thstis importance.

Mr Bradbliry replied,uaying he would press

debate, the Senate adjourned.
Housg.—Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee, intro
doted a bill to encourage agbieulture, which
was referred to the Comm4teo on that subject.
The California (peal - ion was then resumed, and
fa dumber of speeches wore made. For the
first time this Congress - , en , evening session
was held, an excellent arrangement,
.which
ought to haye been adopted before. . Nine:
tenths of the speeches might have been made
by gas-light without loss to-the house..4 - the
public. The Bassi on . ..commenced with fourteen
menters, all told, to whom Mr. Howe. of -Pa.,•
made a freo-soil speech. At 8 o'clock there
were sixty members present, and Mr.•Vcnable,
who had - just returned from North Carolina,
niado a fiery ultra-slavery speech. He declared
his determination not to• obey instructions to
vote for the Senate's Comprornise,:end went for
the extension of the Missouri Compromise line.
Ho was followed by Mr. Taylor, of Ohio, who
spelt.: in favor of• the President's policy. At
half past ton the house adjouined. '
-Wednesday, June 5,
Sesre're.:-.lllr..Yuleo made a motion to, pro
ceed to the consideration of the PresidenVe
IVlcrisage, relative to the recent Cube movement,
but objentiOns were made, end the motion wan
had on_the tattle, The Sonata then took up the
Compromise bill, and proceeded to vole upon
venoms pending amendments, which we find
thus condensed In the N. y.• Tribune. '
The first amendment in. Order was that of
Mr. Chase, proposed as en amendment to Jeff.
-Davis's amendment to the original bill. Davis
moved that the restriction which the bill
im
poses against the passage by the proposed ter
ritorial legitilature: of any laws on the subject
of Slavery should not be construed to forbid
thlrn_frompassing laws protecting the rights
of any species of property ; Chase moved that
his atimildthent should not be construed so as
ormthoriie the introdtiction of slavery. This
I as.voted,9own, 25ayea,30 nays. Mr. Web-'
stir voting with other Free State ,Tenators in
o affirmative. and Mr.Xlay.initha negative.
Next came Davis's amendrimiit/which was
,p 24 to 31. Mr; Clay .Voling yee , Mr. Dick-,
inson being the only Free Mate Senator among
the yeas, while from the §lavo States Mr Pen
ton and Mr. Spruance voted nay.- "
. Next Mr. Seward moved td add the Wilmot
Proviso to the bill, which was 105t,.23 to 33.
Cass, Dichinson, Dodge of lowa, Sturgeon and i
Webster voting" in,the negative.
Mr. Berrien then moved to amend (lie bill
so 'an to restrict the Ugh'More from peening,
any. law either •probibiting,oP.ablishing
frican Slavery,- which was carried 30 to 24.
Dichinaon, Sttirgeon and 'Webster voting eye,
and Benton and Underwood, Solitheurs, Tot,
mg nay.
Two other immaterial - amendments failed
when finally, Mr. Douglass moved to strikti out
All relating to Slavery, which was lost 21 to 33.
On this Mr. Clay voted along with some Free
Sollars, in the affirmative, while Baldwin,
Bright, Davis. of Mass., Dodge, of Wisconsin,
Hale, Smith, Walker, Webster and Whitcomb,
all from Fier States were in the negative.
The Sonato was unusually full, only two Beata
being +moan!, that of Mr : Wales, of Delaware,
who is absent, mid that lately filled byMr. Ell
more of S. C., deceased. ' . .
Hones.—Mr. Jones, of Tenn. made a motion
to substitute for Doty's California bill, the • in
promise bill of the Ss late, which gave ri • to
another fruitless .debate; when the house q
'ourned. rs
• t Thursday; June 6.
The Senate resumed the consideration of the
Compromise bilk The question pending was
upon Mr. Mialker's amendment—again amend
ed by Mr. Deyten—to abolish, peonage. Both
were negatived. Mr. Yoke then moved to
amend the tenth section, by adding the clause
of the Clayton compromise extending the Cert_
stitution of the United Staten over the territa.;
rice. The, main objection urged' against this
amendment weeoliat it was unnecessary ; but
it was adopted—yeas 80, nays 25.
Next. says the Tribune, tame a 'veto...more
decisive than any other and to this wo invite
the especial attention of every men who pro l
fames to believe in Freedom. It was on 'an
amendment offered by . Mr. Baldwin of Conn.,
to the effect that the Mexican law. abolishing
Slavery in the territories should be declared in
force there until altered or srepealed hy .Cen
grass. ' There was 'n.g . doliate and the vote woe

'man valurrepreeent. the North and West. - On
this amendment twelityptwo,,Northerst,yrid„ons,

Southern andfiue \Northern Senators voted Nay.
;Even such men as Bright, Douglass and Whit
comb, stood up to the will of. their constituents
and. supported 'the proposition: . Daniel Web.
eter, of Mass. and John 41 Clarke of R. Island,
did not vote, although they were in Washing

should have been in their places to say Ay on
this important question. Motors. Phelps and

WARDS SPRINGS,
PERRY COUNTY, PA.
THE undersigned begs leave to inform the
public, that he -has recently purchased the
WARM SPRINGS,.in Pony County, Penn
sylvania, and has improved and refurnished die
buildings for the entertainment of visitors, ifl a
style calculated to insure comfort `and convenf
once to all who may feel disposed to. patronize
the establishment,
'Those Springs arc situated on the bank of,
and empty intoSlicrman's Creek, 'a stream as
sociated with the thrilling scenes between the
early seitlereof that part of Pennsylvania and
the aborigines, whose limiting grounds lay on
its margin. They are eleven miles, from Car

those coming.from the West on. the' F am e
rd, at all_times obtain easy conveyances- at
the Railroad Hotel at
,Newport, which is hut a
few miles distant.from:the,9pripgs.
The qualities of the water ofthese Springs
are most extraordinary iniPeed. for fhe speedy
' nOd permanent core of Serofolas,'Eruptions of
the Skin, and every speciee-of CutancouS dis•
sees. He has hundreds of certificates, show
ark the wonderful cures eflected by, using this
water. interitally, and by bathing in it; obtained
I lAs well from strangers as from those residing in
the immediate neighborhood of the 'Springs,
IliTho have not only experienced the irdallitdo
efficacy of the water themaeTves, but have wit
nessed the sanm upon others, Pikf. James C..
Booth has analyzed the waters:turn found them
to contain 9.2 grains of - solid matter in therl.
lon, which is composed as follows:
Ctirbonate of lime -
of magnesia
Alkaline salts, chiefly chlorides, with
n portion of sulphate
Silicia
..Organic matter
There are also at-the same place half a dozen
of other springs, of different descriptions, a
mong which is one of sulphur and ono of cold
water.
It tiny be proper to state why a knowledge
of the extraordinary Medical qualities of these
Springs has Mot been more, extensively known
than is indicated by the certificates of those
only who have, resided;in - their immediate
neighborhood. - Years ago the property fell
into the hands ofa - number of heirs, who were
indisposed to undertake the, responsibility of
'making it a place of public entertainment, as
business,—probably, because .the patronage of
the,publie would not - haye justified the under:
inking, as at that time, (before the spirit or -
pubic improvements by Canals and Railroads
had rendered 'distant :and - difficult points of - .
speedy argl•cheap nccess,) its locatiOn was Out '
of the way, and the roads to rough4lnd nlmost --
impassable. At the death of Mr. Kennedy it
fell into the hands 'of heirs, neither of whom o.
a erred disposed to take ;hold obit, but leased
it o tenants, more for the cultivation of the
len than a regard to the use Of tile waicr.—
It was finally rented to Mr. Hippie, (now pro.
prietor of a large Hotel, in Tremont, Pennsyl
, vanin,) who-made arrangements' to accommo-•
i tpile the Public ; and during his term, many in
iehilitls availed themselves of•this opportunity to,
livisit and test its medical qualities,- Mr. nip-',
'
plc, however, retired in a dhort ' and the
propertmoin fell into too' heeds of the heirs,
and remdmed so, until proceedings were insti
tuted in the , Cfriffinha' Court, by the heirs. for
its sale, .It. was 'then sold, and the subscriber
became the purchaser: With the exeeption.of. •
the short time it mos held by Mr.'Hinplo, itge.
mined im the hands of the hairs without riTly
efforts to - bring it into notice. - -
The country round the Springs and'peigli.;
boyhood is diversified by cultivation; and is
beautifully wild and picturesque in scenery, a
bounding

through the property affords fine fishing. Every
