ARE• YOU ASSESSED Votrms, whose namestro not on the asses, sore' books, should have them pllieed there be fora the let of October. Tp.i low requires every voter to be assessed at least ten days before the election, and though lie cannot be deprived of hie veto, even if not assessed this year, having paid a State or County tax within two years, yet being' assessed within the year facilitates the exercise of this privilege. MISTAKE CORRECTED We understand that in several sections of the county many persons are under the im presslon' that ALEXANDER CATLICART, 0110 of the Whig candidates for Assembly is the same person of that name who Las twice heretofore been a Whig candidate for the same office,— This is a mistake. That was Doctor Truirens L: CATHCART. The present candidate of the i goibr A ssetabll iTTITITX-ANDEIt—CA-Tll - an elder brother of the Doctor. Alex ander Cathcart is a Farmer:and a man of high character and qualification's, who may be re lied upon for an honest dischtirge of every duty which is entrusted to him. ' ARE YOU RE'ADYI The electicn is approaching with rapidity. Fellow Whigs, are you ready? Let no excuse keep you away from the polls this Fall. The ticket to ,be elected is an important one, and the best - interests-of every tax:payer depends om s the result. It is necessary, ,that wo should hey° at least ono honest man in the Canal Board, to watch over and check the present officers, in their outrageous doings on the Public Works. It is also necessary that we should have honest and sober men in the other State offices as Surveyor. Brawley, in this respect, ba - 4 been weighed in the balance and fo'und wanting. 111•Clure and Myers are hon est and capable, and ought to he elected. EEMIMM=I The letter written by Mr. Cathcart, and rend in the recent Convention of the friends of Prohibitory liquor law, never having been published. Ms position on that subject hes been grossly misrepresented by his oppon_ outs. Without publishing his letter, of which we have no copy, we may state that he declar ed. himself in his letter in favor of such legis lation as would restrain or do away with the traffic in intoxiCatieg Equate -- Lis - before - 0" He did of dealer() himself in facer of the Maine Law, or any specific form7(4 legislation to effect that object. Mr. Cathcart we know does not regard the Maine Law as suited to Pennsylvania. Nor is ho in•favor of passing any law without submitting it to the pebple for, their adoption or rejection. This is the position he occupies oh this subject. It may be well enough to add, that as we understand the friends of Prohibition in this county, they do not favor such a law as that which has been passed in Maine. They do not propose tolnterfero with, the manufacture of spirits. They confine themselves to asking for a law which shall prohibit the truffle in intoxicating liquors as a beverage.

After disposing of preliminary things as to tl o tone of Lord John's despnfoh , and the ogth of his own letter, Mr. Everett adverts the ground upon which the United States rlst the claim of having a paramount interest I Cuba. Re than goes into a close and inter ting examination of the remarks made by Ltrd John, relative to ,the avowal that the 1 resident could not repress the Lopez expedi— ti 3n. This is pressed in such a manner as to I tvo Lord John Russell in a melancholy plight. ae same thing is done as . to Lord John's len t; re on American law. The manner in which t is law was violated in the British orders of Council, and French, Berlin and Milan :M -elees, is dwelt upon, and forced keine in a w ty that must be peculiarly refreshing to Lord J:ltn in particular, and to John Bull generally. I.'s give this portion.of his admirable letter: ......,,,,,,,rt - 1 "Consider; too, the recent antecedents of fi) powers that invite us to disable ourselves 1.1 the qnd of time from the acquisition of any o thiq natural appendage to our continent. 1 I ince, within the present century, to satno u; thing- of the acquisition of .

F.!.ini the breaking out of the wars of the Fiinch revolution,to .the year 1812, the Un it II States know the law of .notions only as al victims of its systetnatio violation by the gtl at inaratimeipowers of Europe. For these vijintihs'On'the part of England prior to 17114 lilt emnification was made under the sever 'atl icid of Jay's treaty. Fur similar injuries ot, the part of ..France, we were compelled to a; tent an illusory set-ofrunder the convention of 1800. A few years only elapsed before a DOA , warfare upon our neutral rights was cc lamented by the two powers. One hundred to Oleos at least of American property were twapt from the seas, under the British orders ot.Council, and Uri) French, Berlin and Milan dii,rees, These orders and decrees were at title reciprocally declared to be in contraven ti In of the law of nations by the two powers tit mselvos, each speaking of the measures of tl I, other party. In 1831, after the genera tila of the original sufferers had sunk under thoir ruinad fortunes to the grave, France lic k.; mledged her decrees to have been of that el, crueler, by a late and partial, measure of it ilemnification. For our enormous losses un thl.3 British orders in council, we not only n. 4 ,rur received indemnification, but the semi ii its and sufferings-of war were added to those s,, illations on our commerce and invasion of o to neutral rights which led to its declaration. TI use orders were at the time regarded by the LI risdownes, the Barings, the Broughams, and tl,rother enlightened statesmen of tho school to which you belong, as a violation of right aid justice as well as of sound policy ; and within a very few years the present distill jolted - lord - chief - j - u - stiee,4la - cort try - yourself a I the head of 'the tribunals of England, has dfolared that ‘the orders in courreil were glievously unjust to neutrals, and it is now ail wally allowed, ,that they wore contrary to the lee of nations, and our own municipal law!' .• Thgt ',call, my Lord, to.,borrow your ex p !ussion, a melancholy; avowal' for the chief oil the jurisprudence of a great empire.

In conclusion, Mr. Everett says: t 4 As an American citizen I do not covet the iquisition of Cuba, either 'tenably or by farce of arms. When I cast my thoughts back N eren our brief history as a nation, I certainly not led to think, that the United States hi ve reached the final limits of their grdvtli, o. what - cows to very much the same thing, .t at representative government, religious e,,uality, the trial by jury, the freedom of the if ass, and the other great attributes of our I,nglo-Norman civilization are never to gain a lirther extension .on this continent.

Among the.guests pre sent, 'were Dr. Levi Joines, of Texas, Chief Jus tico Roinblower; nrid Mr.. Richard. Fox. A number of toasts were offered, and in reply to a sentiment in compliment to hint, Mr.,Botts spoke tot considerable length and 'was much 'applauded throughout. In the course of hit. remarks, ho said Mr.. President and Gentlemen shall be but treading in en old.and beaten path, if I attempt to express to this Company the sensa tion which I experience 'on this occasion. 1 feel profoundly grateful; not only for your de monstration this evening, but for your con tinned de'v'otion, to the political . _ principles . which you haye supported in past, straggles. [Applause.] You have been kind emiugli td make some reference to my course as a Whig ; and from the flattering reception which the sentiment you have offered expreiSes, I should have imagined, from your enthusiasm, that I stood in the midst of a Whig meeting. And, have we at last found a Whig party ? [Laugh ter.] I know that when I was in Virgi nia there was One Whig there, (applause) and I believe that when I earns to New York I left n good mnwy more Whigs,there. [Applause.] Since ! I have been stopping in New York I notice tit the-newspapers almost uniformly give the tm• pression that the Whig party is dead! [Laugh ter.] What 1 say to night Ido not say as a politician. I have fouhd a political life a hard, ' thankless, unprofitable one. Ido not speak for the purpose of making . political capital for myself. 1 claim to 'be a 'Whig in the ranks, ready to do my duty. IA ppl Ruse.] , I ask whether there is aWhig party or not? [Laugh ter.] I Gunk that a remarkable proposition— one Which arose in November of last year, im mediately after it hal given strong and very evident signs of vitality—and that, toe, under circumstances which no political party in this country ever encountered before. With most astonishing opposition in our own ranks, with . astounding prejudices in the minds of some of the prominent men of our party, ns to the po sition of mircondidates; and . with thousands upon thousands of Whigs voting against us; yet the Whig party gave 3,385,000 votes; nod 35,000 votes would have eh - Angell the result.— It was within the power of .certnin prominent Whig individuals, connected with the Govern,. moot at that time, to have given us that ❑um ber of votes. Youthful as I am, r claim .t. 3 be one of the fathers of the Whig party. I helped to hold it, to nurse it, to rock its cradle in in- fancy ; nod I claim to he one of the father* it, [Laughter.] I bare corer been distuaye( by defeat. The great error which the -Whi‘ party hits committed, has been the timidity which it has shown, and its willingness to lay down its arms at every defeat. Not so with our opponents. The worse you whip them to d iy , the harder they will fight to-morrow.— [Applause.] Principles they have none, but positions they never yield. • Mr. Butts proceeded at length to contend that the p inciples of ProteetionJe InduAry, Improvements of ftiveß and Hai ho'rsi_pistri- bution of the roceeds of t and other questions which the Whig party has heretofore supported, are yet vitally iincrtant to the welfare of the nation;• and tl Whig Party really lives to support them. Ulttr spersed his remarks with many good bits at the so-called Denmeratio party: WOMEN'S RIGHTS At the recent formal opening of the Female College at Harrisburg, one of the addresses on the occasion was delivered by Professor fany of Dickinson College. This address was spoken by the Ilarrisburg ,papers as elo quent and pertinent in a high degree, 'but it appears the Professor indulged in a feWilings rather in a jUcular than denunciatory strain, against the new-fangled " Woman's Rights" l(fm. This . has brought forth a.three-column epistle in the Harrisburg Telegraph; from some ono of the "strong-minded women" of that ilk, who slashes away at the Professor with considerable feminine heroism, but also, it must be. confessed, with nn infinitely morn merciless slaughter cf the Kings English and Lindley Murray's grammar! For woman has the right, conceded by all, to charm the, world with literary productions, as many have done in sweetest strains of poetry and prose, but in this case we cannot help lamenting that the "conservative member of the family' who objected to the publication of this letter, did not have a more powerful influence with the writer, who is doubtless a respectable but misguided lady. ThiS Woman's_iLight,s_mania_strAltes...us ats. one of the weakest and worst manifestations lof latter day fnnaticisin. So far it has excit ed little more than mirth, but it seelns to be growing into , a movement that threatens to mislencl many from the true path of duty. One of our religious journals, the Baptist Re. corder, emphatically condemns the Women's Rights movement ns n scheme that would strike a heavy blow at the peace and virtue of society, by unfitting woman for the sphere ap pointed s. for her by her constitution, and by the revelation of Him who made her as she is. The editor truthfully adds: " Woman's sphere is neither higher nor lower than man's. It is distinct and peculiar, Nature and religion are deciive on .these points; and a movement which runs counter to utiiversal instincts and to God's Word is, and should be held to be, strictly and truly infidel. The martian who does not wish to root Rut of her constitution everything which rendded her lovely and a bless.ng, who does not wish to 'blaspheme religion and lose her soul, will shun this moveinout as alto would a pestilence:" THE MAINE LAW IN MAlNE.—There has Leen a good deal of contradictory testimony pub lialted lately ne to the actual operation of the prohibitory law. 1! !, the State of Maine, where it originated.

The first is• a statement froth' Asa Dimoek, Cushier• of the Treasury Department, in which ho starts out with the declaration that the state debt on the Ist of ,December, 1851, was $41,182,543 68, and then figures out...that the present debt is $40,263,6 , 23 06, or a re duction of .nently a million. As Mr. D states immediately below this that ho is not "able to give the operations of thO Treasury for the 'current year," he must of course mean by the "present debt" that which existed Deo.

Notnn, if he lives, will be the candidate of his party for re-election next year. Ile is popular with the leading politicians of his own party, but if the Whigs take a good man, in opposi Lion, they can scarcely fail to achieve a glori ous triumph. Who this man should be we do not presume to say, but agree with the Leba non Courier that it is important. no candid - ate should he started for the mere compliment of the thing, nor any name pressed that does not posse . ssiill the sterling elements for a popular standard-bearer and an honorable Chief Exe cutive.

This despatch says it was positively stated in Paris on the Bth, at the Russian Em bassy. that the Emperor of Russia had refused to rMeept, the modifications. It was added, that when the Emperor was informed that the Porte hid modified the note of the Vienna Conference before accepting it, lie observed, in a tone of much moderation, that -he would Willingly make concessions for the express per pose of meeting the wishes of the European powers; but he, would not humiliate himself in tt e oyes of the world by submitting to propo sitions proceeding direct rcim the Sultan.

Omit,) the following important principles of law have been decided, 1. In a conviction under r penal statute the Court will not take - notice of rt technical ir regularity-which the defendant waives am does not assign for error. The Proviso of tho Act of Assembly of 22d April, 1794, forbidding worldly employment on_.Sitilny_, does not "exempt the salu of liquor by an Inn keeper to a sojourner on Sundoy, but such sale is within the prohibi tion of the Act: The Acts of Assembly for licensing Inns an Taverns have nrt repealtal the Act of '1: as t(c Inn-keepers.
