SenatlnSumttor, of Niles., gave ID [ice
of an amendment IM inteeded oLFering : the

in tho not shell be construed as abrogating

Committee, reported favorably upon the reso
lutions some time since `introduced

and Vico Preisideut by the people, Ivithout
mediation of electors, Accompanying the rot
port, was a resolution for the appointment. of
a joint special committee of both Houses, con
sisting of nine Representatives nnd five Sena
tors, to take the matter into consideration and
report a bill. On motion, the report and se
solution was ordered to be printed. Mike
Wnlch took the r lloor while the Deficiency
was before the House, and spoke ai length
upon the New York political difficulticii
Mike belongs to the "[lards," and bore down
With much severity upon the administration
for interfering in behalf of the "Softs." We
give a paragraph or two from Mike's speech
as an index of its tone, with a sharp pussage
betwccn him and Mr. Smith, of Alabama:
In 1852. the democracy had their platform
erected an which Gen Pierce was elected, he
having accepted the nomination with the ac
companying resolutions, and he acquiesced in
the principles avowed, because they were the
principles of his past life. How have these
been carried out in eflice ? If gentlemen sup-
pose [hero is seeming opposition to the nilmin
istration from the Now . .. York democrats, bo
ttom° of disappointment:in not receiving
they sadly undervalue the men with whom
they have to deal.
When the adininistration undertook-to dnter
fere with the local electh no, and to make
Greene U. Bronson do ,their dirty work, they
could not have known that high-minded-and
honorable mon. When the threat was uttered
by the administration, the demon; ats heard
the mandate with sorrow, but hurled hock the
threat with manly indignation., They, ton,
triumphodagainst all - the power and appliances
of the administration, and -he- would -tell the
friends of the administration that when the
next election domes they will find the triumph
18 ten times more signal. The Barnbuniers
in 1318 were ' Sorts." The beet illustration
of niggling "hard" is the diamond, which is
a fair representation of all purity. All know
what "soft means in morals, open td any ras
cality, and what n "soft" bend or n 'soft spot
means. A "soft," is simply an individual
whose morals and politico are ready to he ac
commodated to any form —The Democratic
party as it formerly existed, has been to party
of well-defined and universally understood
principles, but the course:pursued latterly, re
cognizing n class of factionists to the favors of
the administration, is a degrading deolaration
sent forth to the world that they aro invited
to conic, together, net on any common princi
ples, but like a band of bandits, drawn together
for the sake of Common plunder.
Mr. Smith, of Alabama, said that a very.
important question had arisen which he did
not understand; In order that the difference
between a New York "Soft" and "Hard"
might go out to the country with the gentle.
man's speech, he desired him to give an ex
planation. Mr. Walsh replied, the difference,
is the some as between an honest man and a
rogue! [This excited loud and long continued
laughter. Some of the Members fairly scream
ed.] Mr. Smith of Alabama, confessed the
reply of the gentleman was a little equivocal.
e tfiLl not know, whether the "Soft" or the
Hard" is the 'rogue. [Laughter.] Mr.
Walsh.--The difference between n Barnburner
or abolitionist in disguise, or a "Soft" is sim-
ply that a "Soft" never does anything openly
but acts secrotly, for his own advanoemen
and aggrandizement, going over to the enemy
himself when necessary. Mr. Walsh was fol
lowed by :%Ir. Cutting of Now Yorli t on the
same side in a, very able end sarcastic speech,
which drew on n running fire between Cutting
and Sinith, of Alahantn, the latter having un-
dortakon to defend the administration
WASIIINGTON, Jan. 18.
Senato.--Several petitions and bills wore re
ported, and a number of private bills passed.
Mr. Cooper urged the passage of a bill grant
ing certain government lands to aid in the con
strnotion of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad.
Mr. Wade, of Ohio, said he was opposed to the
passage of any such bill. He thought that the
request mime with a very bad grace from Penn-,
sylvania, which State was now permitting
bands of lawless rioters to interrupt the travel
and business tiorohe her borders, by tearing up
the rails, burning bridges and stopping the
mails. 111 r. Cooper replied, regretting that
auy disturbances should have taken place.—.
. But he said when the history of the Erie case
was fairly written out, it would bo seen that
Ohio and New York had provoked the troubles
and driven the people of Erie to desperate .

desired the subject dropped. lle stood in rill

addressed the Committee, .speaking nudely
with referenoe to the troubles at Erie, and ex
plaining the causes of the existing difficulties
there. The Committee then rose, and the

make Gen. Dix another member of the cabinet,
they with astonishment viewed the oxtraordi

Bremen decapitated, and saw lUe. Redfield
and others acting-to intimidate the.democracy;
and Mr. Redfield promoted in the place of Mr.

The Whigs of ' Perry hpld a COCinty Meeting
on the evening of the 3d inst., and appointed
Robert S. King, Esq., Senatorial Delegate and
Col. Paul Cornryti, Representative Delegate to

atorial delegate this year, as Cumberland
County has appqlotod said delegate for the
last two. This notion annuls the appointment
of Senatorial delegate by Cumberland County,
which, wo may add, would not hove been
mado-if the proomdings of the Whigs of Perry
had been published in limo. The Perry meet

in case of her withdrawal from the alliance, to

question appears complicated and as difficult

experience is, that all parties are getting more
exasperated and hostile. Franco has a large

hangs back. The popular feeling againtd

not exceed 260. Those who have arrived at

marks of bard service and exhaustion and pri

and gaining iti spirits. The care which has
been taken of - them, and the kindness shown
them, seem to be fully appreciated by them.
A bill has been introduced into Congress
providing that there shall be paid to each of

are correctly informed, he has no authority to
to do, as our borough charter vests the duty

—and our Town Council has.gisen no autho

REGULAT-ING WEIGIIVB-A-ND MICAS
IM ME!
Mr. EDITOR :—The oitriene of this county
-
have within the last year been made aware of
the, passage of a law by which Weights and
Measures are to ho regulated. Indeed a knowl
edge of the existence of such a law has been
brought home to almost everybody in the com
munity by the domiciliary visits of the office
j appointed-thereby; and n demand-on his - part
to have furnished to him any.weights or meas
ures then and there being,' foethe purpose of
adjustment, and then certain four and other
-emoluments' for the work eo done by him.—
This right to inspect extends down to mem:
ros lose than a pint, for adjusting which the
foe is three cents, and, it may bo, an addition. ,
al for labor and materials used for the
puirpooo—the foe alone being almost as much'
,as the-original cost of those' anintl measures.
Now the object of this communication is not
so much to complain of -what has • been done`
under this.law; (as I believe' the Regulator for
.this county has exorcised hie powere.with - con-:
eidarable forbearance,) but to point _ out tho'
danger in oast) others may bo apPointed'tOthe.

requires these sealers in one eountnieertaitity
it requires ,thetnin all,. and 4therMf9re. tho,lpwt

Again, it fails in'ita ohject,'lrecattso oven lifter'

AVIITI, the Ityn.lfird. fillmi9liell In tl)p
' .
missioners are: placed ;in the keeping of this
newly-created officer, and therefore seem in. ra
for his benefit then fur the public good. In th.s
county the regulator liv6 near the lower end.
There to a provision in this not that it it be in
convenient for, the owners to have tht:ir scales,
Weights or measures adjusted tit the time the
officetcalls,- they may afterwifrde - t a k e them to
his office and have them their adjusted. Clear
ly, thee, the officer should be required to re
side in the county'-town, which is usually near
the centre of the county, andbot in n I emote
section oft. Beeides ns these, standards nro
the propel+ 1 the people of this county, and.
bought by the Commissioners With the public)
money, cerminly the proper place for them to
be kept is in the Commissioner's Office, and
when the Regulator performs' his rounds let
them he taken from there end returned after
be ix dune, and let his office be is the county
town, where publie consenionce requires it
should- be.
This law does not accomplish the purpose
designed, and all the gond results would be far
better attained, by inflicting adequate penal)
ties for selling by light weight or measure
The visits of these Regulators are to be year
ly, and for these visits, after the first, they
are to be 'paid half fees for re-adjusting
weights and measures, and for labor and ma
tells's. in addition. - In this county, as I Un
derstand, since the first visit a secontrhas been'
Paid. and in nniny instances the formerly ad
justed weights and monsures• are found to re
quire re - adjustment--- , uggesting the query
whether by being knocked around so the stan
dards themselves may not require re-adjust
ment, To show, however, in conclusion, bow
much the object of the law is for the emolument
of the officer, I will quote the part relating to
his fees:
" For the trial and balancing of every,set of
scales, ten cents; of every patent balance,
twenty cents ; of every set of coal or hay sea
les, two dollars each ; for every yard measure,
six cents; for every bushel measure, twenty
cents . ; for every half bushel mensarecfateen
cents; for every peck end half pock mensm e;
ten cents ; for every quarter peck measure,
six cents; for every gallon, half gallon and
quart measure, four cents each ; for every pint
dr less, three cents mach; for every weight of
twenty-eight pounds or' ricer; twelve•nnd-n
-half cents; for every weight less than twenty
eight pounds, four mils and an additional
,charge for. lend, labor or other matetials for
adjusting said beams, Acales, weights or mens
ures !"
It really seems as if this law lied been made
to give some of those public spirited persona
usually composing our legislatures, fat berths
as wingers. So anxious does ie framer of
this law seem to give tho officer fees that half
and quarter cents aro thrown in to makeup
the punt.

A PDESIONER CONVICPED.. AND IMPRISONED
FOR a Cittiou.--A person inscribed on the pen
sion roll committed an infamous crime, for
which he was sentenced to the penitentiary;
while inprison lie applied for hie pension 'mon
ey ; and it was held, that the iionviairoii and
imprisonment of a pensioner for crime does not
disipialify him for taking the usual oath of
identity, ..nor does it deprive him of his right
to draw hie pension, or to appoint an attorney
to draw it for him.
