GOVERNOR BIGLER'S Illinurit.—On Saturday
last, says the Harrisburg Union, governor
Bigler had an attack of bilious fever, and on
Monday it returned with great severity. On
Monday night the fever was reduced so as to
enable him to take preventive rnedicines,Mnd
his physicians believe the disease can 'be
chocked, without making further progress.
STATE AGRICULTURAL FAIR
We trust that our agricultural friends will
not forget the great State Fair, to come off at
Pittsburg, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday, the_ 27th, 2Stli,
_2oth and 20th
inst. Akl those having articles to exhibit,
should have them on the ground by the 27th.
Those intending to become-members-of-the
Society may attend an the 27th and 2Sth, and
Oho public generally on the 20th and Nth.
One dollar paid to the Society constitutes the
person paying it 'n member for n year, and it
entitles him fo visit the Exhibition with his
family during the whole time. Time premiums
are very liberal, amounting to about $5OOO.
It is expected that the exhibition will be very
fine, and the attendance large.
TILE lIREAIiZING.UP
The coalition of factions which elected Gen
eral Pierce is already breaking up. Each
fragment of the party in Massachusetts has
called a separate State Convention to make
nominations. In New York, the Barnburners
'anti Hunkers have split, and are in every coun
ty electing separate sets 6f.delegates to the
State Convention, for which Ifinro seems a
likelihood of two conventions. In Pennsylva
nia, the Natives have, in their State Conven
tion, denounced the administration ; and in
Georgia the Union Democrats and Webster
Whigs have united with the Scott Whigs a
gainst the administration party. This is a
natural result of the assemblage of such dis
cordant elements under a common flag. There
are other fragments which must eventually
split off, though the time has not yet comm . —
Instead.of the _Whig Tarty beingdisselved,
is the "harmonious Democracy" which is un
dergoing dissolution. The faction stuck to
gether until the offices were all distributed and
that process being finished, the disappointed
naturally go into the ranks of the opposition.
Von... The latest accounts from New
- Orleans
represent the number of deaths in that city as
"'slili"d'C'eleo:sinr"l i hrViVfjititc of the 28th
gives the total number of cloallis from the yel
low fever, since the commencement of the op
iden3io, (fourteen weeks) as six thousand four
hundred and forty-nino.
It is stated that no sickness from the pre.:
veiling fever exists either in the city prison or
in . the temporary asylum for the insane. This
speaks well for the management' df these in
stitutions. The Iloward Association have re
ceived in money for the relief of the sufferers
about $70,000, and have had bills presented
_to the sum of over s66,ooo, — with still more to
come. The deaths for the 24 hours ending on
Friday morning last, were ono hundred nod
seventeen, of which ninety-six were of the
fever. The tliSease" is said to be extending
along the coast.

Although Mr. Moser must hare been aware
'of the rock upon which Pr, Day - wreeked his
prospects last fall, ho seems disposed to play
the same game.' The consequence is the pUb
lictaion of his card was followed by a general
expression of, disgust, as well on the part of
the opponents of a prohibitory law as of its
frie'nds. It is' now the opinion of, all candid
men that a person who exhibits' such a want
of firmness, stability end moral purpose, as
Mr. Moser has in this matter, is not the man
to go to HarrisbUrg in the responsible a 1 pncity
of finv-azaker.'' The "fast and loose" course
he has attempted to pursue has justly lost him
tti6' respect of discriminating men in all par
ties.
Mr. Moser's position is truly. pitiable, for
wo understand that the gentleman who pledged
him in the Prohibitory Law Convention as
friendly to prohibition ; will reply to his card
this weelt, - and - prove by ample - testimony - that
all the.deciations they made were fully autho•
rized by blot ! More then this,' we ara in
formed they will be able to show that he
actually elcetioncored for the nomination froM
the frlends.of n prohibitory law ! If, this is
•the case Mr. Moser has shown most lament
aide Wealcnoss, and proven how' utterly unfit
he is to be entrusted with. the responsible (4t-..
ties of a legislator. Neither the friends nor
the opponents of prohibition can repcso con
fidence in him. -
MISREPRESENTATION CORRECTED
no_ VoMutter of last weelt.lays the lash on
Oho men of his own party who have been so
prestimpluous'fis'to deClare themselves in fa
vor of.a prohibitory liquor law, with most
unsparing severity._ But this, if they are in
clined to meekly submit to it, does not concern
us. But it does concern us to correct such
outrageous misrepresentation as the Volunteer
is guilty of when it ehnrges the Whigs
originating the prohibitory law movement, end
wLm> it saysthat " Abolitionism and the adop
tion of the Mains law aro now cardinal meas
ures of the Whig creed." The Volunteer
could - not hare — written - this without - being cow- -
scions at the time of uttering a falsehood.
The first prohibittrY liquor as every
intelligent person knowih, was pesnd: in the
locoloco,State of Maine, where the locofoecr
party still maintains its supremaCy and where
the prohibitory liquor law still cotitinues in
force. The other. States in which the prohib
itory law has einco been passed-are the loco
fee° States 'Of Rhode' Island. and Michigan;
and the Whig States of Velmont and Massa
chusetts. The movement to-establish am°.
bibitory law in.other States is participated in
by men
-of both parties, democrats and whips
This is, the ease, as the Volunteer well knows,
not only hero but elsewhere. And to do the
friends of prohibition justice, their great:et
anxiety seems to be to keep the question clear
of politics. To speak of it as " a Whig track,"
or as an attempt to "laud those who embark
into it•into the bosom of the Federal abolition
party," is absurd. Last year Perry county,
with its sweeping locofoco majority, seat a
prohibitory law man to the Legislature. The
Whig county of Adams did the - same. The
Whig counties.of Franklin and Lancaster, on
the other hand, elected anti-prohibitory law
members of the Legislature.
These facts in relation to the prohibitory
law the Volunteer cannot deny, and voters can
udgo frOm them whether the Wbig pM.ty is
,my mode-identified with the- >Maine law—than.'
is the locofoco party. •

A WEAR, IMBECILE PRESIDENT
There have been other administrations which
acquired'for themselves an unenviable repu
tation for weakness and imbecility, but the
course pursued by the present, we think, in
dicates that President Pierce is in a fair way
of securing for his administration that repu
tation to an extent which no preceding ono
enjoyed, and which cannot fail to bring it into
contempt with the people.t Though he sat by
•at the Merchant's Hotel in Philadelphia, when
Messrs. Davis and Guthrie, were delivering
their pronuneiamen los in favor of the Pacific
and by his silence gave authority to
all , they said, it would now seem the feeler
theso CnbineV-Ministers tbus threw out, has
not been responded .to by the Locofocos as he
had expected, and there are therefore, doubts
and surmises, caused - to he promulgated itithe
journals.ever_whieh. has_contr el, as. to" is
own course, though he did sanction by his
silent acquiescence, the views proclaimed by
Messrs. Davis and Guthrie, at tho banquet in
Philadelphia. This is a course of double
shuillinwhich, to say the least of it, is con
temptible for ono occupying his exalted posi
tion to pursue.
;
A lifysvenrous Steigers has
been arrested in Philadelphia rind taken to
New York, on the charge of robbery. It op
pears.n. Jacob Steigers
,was robbed, while on
the passage from Europe; of two., 4 draft,
amounting to nearly $7BO. These drafts
were to be paid by a firm in New ;York, but
immediately after the robbery,'Steigeh went
to the firm and had the pnymedt stopped.
Subsequently they were presented for pay
ment; without endorsement, by a man named
Brunt, who was arrested on the spot. Brunt,
who was from Philadelphia, said Bteigers gave
them to-him to got cashed. This led to the
arrest of Steigers at Brunt's house in Phila
delphia, where he landed from Hermany. On
being taken to Now York, the firm were posi
tive he was not the man who stopped the pay
ment of the drafts, and so were the captain
and mate of the ship that he was not tho Ja
cob Steigers who came over with them. The
prisoner, however, insisted that he was the
real Jacob Steigcrs. 4 The bassport of Mr. S.
was found-on his person, but the deecription
of the person does not suit' him in the least
degree. When lest heard from, the real Jacob

but it is feared ho has been murdered, and his

of the present bend's of departments-in
our Pennsylvania
,State administration', nays
the North Americah, have received the•motrii
nation of aDemocratio State C,onventioh; and
,
are candidates for re-election. These are the
Auditor General,Fliraim Banks, nod the
Surveyor Genera), J..
Porter Brantley. Some
occurrences have recently been brought to
light with reference' to these gentlemmrathich
'
claim a Serious considMation, from the com
munity. From the report,lately published by
the Board of Canal Confiniisioners,-it appears
to be well established, that many
of the work
men on the Portage Railroad, being deprived
of their .regular pay, :have been obliged by
their necessities to sell their claims on the
State at a discount of ten per cent., or more,
and that the' purehUsers of these - claims have
been paid the cash for them at the State Tree-
Our", while the operatives who were unwilling
...to make such a `sacrifice,, have been kept out
of their Money for a year or Mean months.
The Auditor General has to pass upon every
,draft before' it can , be paid at the Treasury. We
in vain seek for an explanation as to the sin
gular fact that he so reaaily endorses the claims
of these speculators, while the drafts of the worh•
men are not honored, on-the plea u tlat there is
me appropriations for the purpose. Mr. Banks
is the Auditor General under whose inspection
this state of things is carried on. He has not
seen proper to vonehstifem single, we'd upon
the subject to 'enlighten the public. There
-can be no doubt tbat Other - otticintparties — de - - -
serve to share the odium of this outrage, but .
as the Auditor General had it in his power to
control the matter, weds not see by what
logtahia course can be justified.
As regards Mr Brawley, the accusation is
° of a more serious charadter, and implicates
him personally as one of the participants in
tho'fraudulent allotmanM of work upon the
construction of the new Portage Railroad, by
which grand swindle the State Treasury has been
doni out of at least one hundred and My four
thousand dollars. Although he holds n - high
and responsible State otlice, ho was a bidder
for several portions of this works, and two
sections were allotted to him as contractor,
notwithstanding respOnsible men had bid for
the same sections at $12,705 lower tha' the
price-he receives. Having secured these ha
did not go to mirk to build the sections. but
sold out the contracts at a profit of -$13,000
over what he bid. IA is generally believed,
also, that he has a private interest in other
sections. ' The Harrisburg journal informs us
that although be is Surveyor General, and re
ceives the official salary, yet he gives little or
no attention to the duties of his •offici., and
that he has only heed in Harrisburg a few
days since last Spring. His attent'oii is en
grossed-by- a lucrative- contract he has made
to supply pork for the Ti. S. Navy.

that lar voters must take anything that is of

in the keeping of these officers in the haods•of

sage to him to inform him that there was n
Register of the Land Office to be appointed in
the St. Louis Congressional District, and re
quested him to furnish the department with
