THE . AtONIPTLEDERICE WATT S
The Hon. F. WATTs,,is beyond all shadow of
doubt - ono - of the- ablest, Judicial officers- in
'Pennsylvania. Wo have never known a man
who-transaoted 'business' in the seine rapid and
correct manner, and with so little apparent ef
fort. Hp is a straight-for Ward, bullet-minded
Judge. 'He goes directly to the point by the
nearest and best road
or ambiguity about him. Ito says • eNactly
what ho thinks—nothing _more, nothing less;
and - generally thinks right. Ile is polite to the
old members of the bar, and affable to the
young. Ho is siker o gentbimah, although al
ways decided his Sis opinions.—Politically we
aro opposed to Judge Watts; but we cannot
belp_recording our humble opinion hi regard
to' his Worth as a oitizon, and his exalted abil
ity as a Judicial officer. He wears the ermine
and holds the scales of Justice nobly andive

Thig_does-but.simploAlpti9o-to-the-eminent
tharactei of Judge Watte as a jurist. We
honestly, believe - that no distriot in the State
is blessed with a President Judge of greater
ability, or ono who with more impartial spirit
-administers—exact—and—equal- justice.- The
question then arises Will the people of this
district voluntarily dispense with the services
of such a Judge because he happens tn,be of
-nne-political-faith r . while-the majority-of-them
probably-hot& another?- - Why-should they ?--
Tfie Judges of our Courts have uo "patron

question is an important one. An -.upright,
impartial and able Judge id..hn officer who can
not beliglAy_esteenied,_,Re_is_the guardian
of the highest. interests of the community.—
And the question whether they will retain, or
dispense With his services on the bench, is one

second Tuesday of October.

Yes; but neighbor, this don't happen tole
true.. • )1 7 hailer the proposed issue of a million
of Relief notes was a project of the Governor's
or not, it was not prOpoied at all until after Mr.
Bonham h . ad voted for the net a.loans. It was
proposed in the Senate after the bill went over
from the 'House, andtonsequently after Mr.
Bonham bad voted for . the bill containing the
provisions for new loans. That is the fact .
which, the TalL-paying voters of. Cumb'erland
county should bear in mind. Mr. Bonliatn's
colleague, Mr. Sconller,"did not seem to be .
im ressed•with the same view of the.case, Ile
did not think it neoesSartto 'Mead off"-the
Relief notes by voting for loans which would
inevitably have led to it new debt ,of two or
more millions.. No; Mr. &miler (himself

Mr. Bonham's hatred to small notes'ilike
his present support of new State Debt, •wo
presume grows- out of the change of circum
stances. When he was a eldmegous orator and'
leader of the Anti-Tax party, he violently de
nounced State Debt and grinding Taxes. But
now, in the Legislature, he' votes for theirin
ereitse. A few years ago ho advocated and lick
ed to elect a WWII Council who issued a del
uge of smallnotcs, which Nr. Bonhanl himself
signed as as their Clerk Now,,in 'the Legis
lature, he denounces small notes as ho once de
' naucced State Debt which he now votes for!
The Tax -payers ofoumbeilaint county will
not fail to observe in the brief extract we
quote above ft'om the Volunteer a distinct ad
mission of Mr. Bonhatu's having voted for a
loan. That is the great fact W 9 wish them
to bear ju mind. The Whig Senate and the
Whig Governor deli 4 ated the scheme for ilising
new loans. But the project is only cacked,
not defeated. If Was, BIGLER is elected Gov
ernor, with a Legislative majority at his back,
composed of such men as Mr. Bonham, these
loans will he rased next winter. Mark the pre
diction.. We know that your faces arc set as

In allusion to the attempt which has been
made in certain quarters to produce the
im
pressi on that-an- unfriMlly-feeling,existed-be
tween President Fillmore and Gov. Johnston,
the Harrisburg states in contradic
tion of any such impression, "we have reason
- to believe - that-the-most friendly state-of feel
-ing has ever existed betweeAlkove l kor John
ston and President Fillmore, and we think we
can assure the Whigs of Ponnsylvlinia, and of
the entire country, that they axe both men of
too much discernment, and too much devotion

individually to any branch or segment of the •

of the desperate and misguided faotionists, -
who set up the gratification of their own little
resentments; and the accomplishment of their
personal aims, against the success tullarmo-:'
ny of the great Whig party.
Let who will insinuate the contrary, we now
tell the Whigs of Pennsylvania that the Nation
al and State Administrations are in perfect
harmony with each other upon all the great
cardinal doctrines and prominent measures of
the Whig party; „and that however a few mis
guided men in the Whig ranks, consorting, for
the time beiug,',with the common enmity, may
labor. to produce a result so disastrous, they
cannot be separated.."
For some weeks Pesti - the newspapers have
been giving hints about another "Expedition
to Cuba." We learn from a newspaper of Sa
vannah, that a number of young ,men were
proceeding to that city, 'armed and equippe.l,'
- upon some inforination of being wanted "to
sail at a minute's warning," but returned to
their homes on ascertaining that the inforrria
tion was erroneous. No also learn from New
Orleans and Mobile,- that some Movements in
those cities indicate preparations for another
descent tipoil Cuba: And last, but not least,
is an account from New York, of preparations
by the Marshal to intercept a• vessel in that
port, loaded with arms and ammunition In
short, appearances indicate Mot only , that- aMt
other expedition has been planned, but that
the Federal gar - Omni - ea understands •it thor
oughly, and are not only resolved, but well
prepared, to prevent its execution. •
In consequence of these movements Presi- . ,
dent Fillmore has issued his proclamation,
showing-thellabilitiest incurred_by_thosewho
migage in such a marauding undertaking. It
states the facts, lays dawn theiaw, and warns
offenders of the consequences of violating it
in - plain: and explicit language. Cubit is pre :
pared to repel aggression. The Government
of the United States is determined to preserve
our neutrality, and to punish its violation.—
We apprehend that - between the two govern
ments, pirates'and. plunderers will stand butli

AN ELOQUENT !TRIBUTE
The following remarkiwere made by Charles
B. Penrope, Esq.,' kn announcing the death of
the Hon, Thomas Burnside, to. the Suprgme
Court. They are copied from a Xhiladelphia
paper:,
~
•
If the Court please:
I have just now been honored by the request
that I should thus publicly announce to your
honors the melancholy fact:that ono, long Ith
sociated-with-you-inypur-judicitil -labors,- has
gone from among.yon, to his final account,
Ife_who.sat in this nourCk many years, he
who had participated so recently, and so long,
lit ninny "a bed of justice" in your 'conneils,
to determine the great questions of right Which
dtelthig-do your jurisd}ction has departed.—
There is " a fine of his fines," end the place
Which knew hits so long, "shall-know him no
more for_ever."
There was among the courts of an ancient,
and enlightened :people,_one,• somewhat dike
that which is the occasion of the feet remarks
which rshidl sUbmif, in honor 'of the -depar
ted, and, fur the improvement of those who
survive him. On the death of it citizen who
bad served that republic, and before his final
sepulture, his deeds done in the body, were
subjected to review in an assembly of the peo
_pla,_for_tliejud_gmeni,uf.....tiwt tribunal._"
There are few among us, who,, if sushi were_
the scrutiny here, could bear that scrutiny bet
ter than your departed brother. .•
Judge• Burnside served the people long, and
in every station which lie has occupied, he has
served the people well. There is in his long'
career Of usefulness, a beautiful illustration of
the excellence of our institutions of govern
ment.
Here there is no "poverty's unconquerable
Liu •" to forbid the onward, progress from •life's
low vale' of the youth, who with just ambi
tion, aspires, as he did, to distinction., •
With the energy, the industry, the single
ness of purpose which Marked - his whole-ca
reer, he met and overcame the early diflicul
ties which beset his path. He went from one
station of honor to another, cheered with the
confidence of the people, until ho arrived, at
lout, to the highest distinction among earthly
honors— a scat on the Supreme judicial tribu
nal of his State.
But }vliiTc to tTic fa - fink — lTU are 'entering

of his life furnish much to encourage -and to

imitation; it must hot be forgotten-that-much
of his success is attributable to that which
was in him a distinguished characteristic, the
excellence of his heart. It was this quality
which attracted toldm his numerous friends,
and pieserved their affection for him. It was
this quality- which _is theseeret_of_liis_ .0 Cntin
poliularity among the people., - • ,
_ And in a world, where coldness and selfish
ness aro pro'verbial and great endowment of intel
leaf, are not unfrequently !sinned and absorpd'
by uutuniable qualities, it should ho remem
bered that here we have an instance of the
value of that "immediate jewel of the soul,"
a kind, an amiable, and a benevolent heart.
But while in the life of the departed, we
have for the young who arc at the threshhojd
of active existence, motives for encouragement
to a just ambition, to us, particularly, who so
lon , linve been his companions, and aro fast
reaching the age at which be has been called
to rest from his labors, we have, also, in his
death, a cogent motive for that ambition, far
above " the low ambition mud the pride of
" kings" of the world, the ambition, so to ap
ply the facilities of our minds, and the affec
tions of our hearts, with ;ivhich our great cre
ator has endowed us, as that we may be fitted
to-enter-that highest circle of-society,lo Svlaiclr
we trust ha has gone—the society of •!‘ just
men made perfect,,apa the angels in heaven."
I move - that in lion s or of the, memory of
Judge Burnside, this:Court do now adjourn.

TUE WAGES OF LABOR.
We have the statistics, bays the Harrisburg
Ttllncrican, to show that the tariff of 1816 has
taken live Millions of dollars a year from the
pockets of 4.he iron-workers of Pennsylvania.
This fact Las been demonstrated . by figures.—
But what It:rs been lost by the iron-workers of
Pennsylvania, has undoubtedly been made by
those of Great Britain.
During the year ending -the 30th of June,
1840; Britishiron of the value of $,915,050,061,
TilirGiiiiiglit=thafaiiitir - jiTh6;lldAST7'
this value consists of labor. hence -ten mil
lion.; of dollars seers last year sent from this
country to -Great Britain to pay the wages of
Bnyliskand Scotch Iron Workers! At $3OO a
year r -ton,millions-of dollars will give employ
ment to 20,000 men, and support to a popula
tion of sixty or eighty thouSandsouls..
Of these tea millions paid to foreign arti
sans by Anierican consumers, one half passed
into the hands of foreign agriculturists! Come
quently, of the fifteen _millions of dollars of

TEMPERANCE. ' •
' Mr. Editor:—The Bev. John llawkins, one
of the original Waithingtonialls, delivered two
lectures on the subject of temperance, in our
Borough, on Wednesday, and Thursday even
jugs -of-la st-week,--M -good-speaks,-
- rind - pmlitryedtheTevils arising - cat of intem r
peraned, in their most horrid and detolating
forms.. There is ono thing, howererovhichl
have often noticed:, but cannot understand, and
that is when a temperance
_meeting is
the ladies are sure to have a strung turn-out,
while there is a cotnparati.r,ely small attendance
of men. Now we do not pretend tri say that
this is wrong, for their smiles of - ripprobation
-lead us on in all our endeavors to do good, but
why does man,- for whom temperance meetings
are more especially intendedstand aloof ? We do
net suppose thift there could bo ten females
found in our Borough, who use spirituous
li
quors as a heroine. For our own part, we
do not know of any. To see a man or boy
beastly drunk is not such a rave' sight, but to
see adrunken female is a rare occurrence in
deed, and yet - nt all temperenemeetings there
:dead least ten females present to one man.—
'We have seen boys, 'knee high to a grasshopper,'
step, 'into a tavern, and call for ' , Brandy
Smashes" and "Gin cock tails;" With as much
unconcern as though they wore going to take
a drink of cold water, and not that hot tram'
which makes man more degraded than the
'bensts , ad the Old. Should you attempt to"
point out the evils of this habit to those same
boys, and tell theni thnt - it would - lend them to
become confirmed drunkards; cud picture to
them the Judi' starved family, of the °drunkard
with scarcely clothing enough - to cover their
nakedness; they would tell you that there was
no danger of their ever becoming, drunkards;
that they detested the taste of liquor, and on
ly drank it for the "novelty of tho thing."—
But this is not the real reason: they think it
looks manly to drink liquor. But ' , could wo
.800 ourselves us others see u5, 1 ,, 1 they woidd not
think so, , Intemperance is on the increase in
our Borough' and should be checked with all
possible speed, and the only way to chi this, is
for landlords to quit selling liquor to thie-"ri
sing
generation" of boys, most of whein kill
-
become ow - dinned drunkards, unleis this -prac
tice of " drinking for the novelty of the thing"
is nipped in the bud. ,
