A REPUBLICAN PARTY
a •
Judge Wilmot and those of his politi
cal friends who think and act with him,
have led off in a movement in Susque
hanna county, as we leain from: papers
of that county, to start a‘itepublican Par
ty. • Pursuant to a call from a pudic
meeting to take the subject Under consid
eration, a large meeting was held in
Montrose, on the. 27th ultimo, which was
attended and addressed by J udge
A committee appointed for that purpose,
of which Judge Jessup was a member,
reported a series ( of resolutions proposing
first the formation of a Republican party
—declaring, secondly, the virtual disso
intiorr-of-both -t he --old -pa rties—firoclaim—
ing thil< their opposition to slavery cx
tea!;ion in whatever guise it may be pre
sented and calling for a modification or
repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law. The
resolutions also declare for the adoption
of the Homestead bill, for universal edu
cation—for_ecanomy_irt. _the administra
tion of the State and General Govern
ments and in favor of the sale of the
sale of the Public Wo - rks.
The resolutions were discussed sepa
rately and warmly. Judge Jessup (one
of the most prominent Whigs of that see
of the State) supported the second reso
lution in, an able and eloquent speech,
wherein he expressed his conviction that
both of the old parties were practically
dead, and declared himself decidedly in
favor of the organization of the proposed
party. He was followed by, Mr: C. L.
Ward,(Douglasite,) of Towanda, who op
posed the formation of the: new party as
uncalled for, and defended the Nebraska
bill and the Administration of President
Pierce. Judge Wilmot tben spoke in fa
vor of the resolutions. All the resolutions
reported by - the committee were adopted.
SEY - The Message is a common place
document. Vie give a well prepared
synopsis of its contents which we think
will be more satisfactory and more gen
erally read than the entire paper.
Set - Prof. TIFFANY'B address before the
Union Fire,Company will be found at
length on tli& second page. It is both
elegant and eloquent, and replete with
sound political doctrine. As an exposi
tion of Americanism, its sentiments will
meet with general acquiesence.
DEPUTY , SECRETARY.—The Lancaster
Examiner says that John M. Sullivan,
Esq., of Butler comity, has been selected
by Col. CURTIN, as Deputy Secretary of
the Commonwealth under the new admin
istration. Mr. S. was clerk of the Senate
for several years, and Ni4t that capacity

IMPORTANT DECISION.--A free negro
is not a citizen of the United States, ac
cording to a recent decision in the State
of Illinois, and, cannot maintain a suit.
The Chicago Times states the case thus :
JoSeph . C. Mitchell, a free ncgeo, as plain
tiff sued Charles 11. Lamar, who plead
that a free negro was not a citizen of the
United States, and hence could 'Mt main
tain .a suit before the United States Court.
The plea was sustained by Judge DrUm
mond, of the U. S. Circuit Court, and
the decision was concurred in by Judge
McLean.

A BOLD PllOPOSITION:
The Trotiottay has at. last displayed its
trme`colors'and now openly and• boldly
prociainisitself in favor of a change in
t.ye„gohstitution to «bq ish the vote by hal
m. ! Tnis, then, is the Volunteer's de
mocracy! After years of hypocritical
democratic professions—after all its lash
ings 0f1.4d black cockade Federalism, of
John Ad. N's and-Alexandcr Hamilton—
here is its own democracy finally reveal
ed and laid bare ! What will the old
democrats of Cumberland county, the
men who have for years relied upon the
Kilt/never as a genuine exponent of what
they regarded z); true democratic princi
ples, what will S
they, what must they
think, of such an outrageous proposition?
Do away with The vote by ballot—the
poor man's greatest shield against tyran
ny ? We can fancy them rubbing their
eyes and looking again and again, fondly
hoping that it is an optical illusion, but
still to their utter amazement finding
themselves confronted by the startling
declaration in the columns of the Volun
teer-="ilholish the Bullet and adopt the
eil'a met! system."
And what does the Volunteer expect
to-accomplish by abolishing the ballot
system ? It hopes thus to put down the
Know Nothings. In Virginia, which un
der a hypocritical democratic guise is re
ally the most drisTOcratic State in the TT
nion, the viva owe system prevails, says
the Volunteer, and the Know Nothings
have in consequence been able to make
but little progress: But let not the Vol
unteer deceive itself with respect to Vir
ginia. It thought Americanism a very
insignificant thing in this Congressional
district before the election, and boldly
defied its power. After Mr. Bonham's
defeat it would be well to talk cautiously
of Virginia. The Gibralters of dentosra
cy have melted like snow before the pow
er of Americanism, and Virginia is not
impregnable. :Nous verrmts, as Father
Ritchie used to say. •
To put down the Know Nothings-ef
fectually why does not the Volunteer at
once urge the re-establishment of the in
quisition? The rack, the thumb screw
and other species of torture should be
put in force. It is so intolerable, in the
estimation of that paper, that-American
citizens should combine together to ele
vate and perpetuate their own/nationality,
to guard against insidious and dangerous
influences from abroad, and preserve their
school system and other domestic institu
tions, that the Volunteer would have them
put down at all hazards and by any means
however oppressive. It is not to be borne
that Americans shall promulgate - such
"horrid," /.'traitorous" principles as
these. Bence the necessity of a reorgan
ization of the democratic party by Mr.
Bonham. Bence the necessity of de
priving the poor man of the vote by bal
lot, and crushing out his freediun by ty
ranieal oppression ! Is this what the
emocracy of Cumberland county desire?
ues the Volunteer spent: their voice in
dvocating such odious doctrines? We
link not

PROORES6 OF A muttentusm. The
'Washington correspondent of,the Jour
teal of Continer'm says, several of the
Southern members of the General Con
vention recently held by the Know
Nothings at Cincinnati, are there on
their return , They represent that the :
proceedings o;Nworlt of the Convention
was harmoniously done, and that the lead
ing feature of the policy of the Associa
tion is devotion to the peace and perimtu
ity of the Union. The Association will
set their face against sectional disputes,
and , promote a proper American senti
ment, serving to cement the Union.—,
They represent that some of the religious
organizations of the South—the Baptists,
Methodists arid Presbyterians—are all
friendly to the Order, as will be shown
at the polls of Virginia, and elsewhere,
next spring. It is claimed . that the
Know Nothings hold the balance in the
Florida Legishiture, now in session, and
will control the choice of United States
Senator.
CIIIEr JUSTICE . or PA.-=-The Hon. El- I
lis Lewis has become• Chief Justice of
of Pennsylvania, in the room of,the lion.
J. S: Black, whose term of Chief Justice
expired on the Ist of December. Judge
Lewis was formerly a journeyman printer.
He soon became a lawyer of good stan,
sling, then
_a Judge in the Lyeoming Dis
trict. He was afterwards transplanted
- to the Lancaster District, and from thence
to the Supreme Bench, and now, by vir
tue of the Constitution, to the summit of
his profession in .the Keystone State.
"PAY UP."—All the newspapers are

were never more unanimous. For once
we are all united. We hope they will
persevere in their efforts, until every de

Nrw York• Elertion.—The official re
turus,reccived at Albany from all parts
of the State show, that even if the imper
feet votes be counted for Seymour, Clark,
Whig, is elected by 157 majority. The
thing is therefore, beyond doubt.
Missou 11.1 . — The Benton Democrats in
the Missouri legislature are said to pro

Mon the town of Tuskagee, Ala
bama, lately, a Col. Benj. W. Walk°, waasent
to jail for refusing to obey an order of Court
directing him to pay over $17,000, which he
held as trustee of an estate At the next
session of the same Court. some of his friends
broke open the jail,.took him out and carried
him into Court, -- where lme demanded a re
hearing. The Chancellor refused it, and
after several lights had taken-id:tee in Court,
Walker went back to jail. A few days after
ward, Col. Reynolds, commander of a regi
ment, mustered his men, and marched to the
jail, accompanied by a cannon, and carrying
banners, inscribed "Walker," and "Alabama
will protect her citizens." They broke open
the jail,,took Walker out;, and bore him off
in triumph on a platform, after he had made
speeeb declaring his determination to con
form to the will of hia friends. A clergyman
also made a speech ,encouraging the riot.—
Walker--was then borne to his own house,
whore a hundred men remained on guard
with him. The Sheriff, with his posse, fol
lowed thither•, but at the latest accounts had
done nothing. •
California papers publish in full a
long speech delivered by Gen. Miller, the
British consul at the Sandwich Islands, pro
testing that the annexation of the islands to
the,l.lnited States would be. a violation of the
treaty of amity and dommereo with Great
Britain, and also of the, subsequent joint
declaration of England and France, and
could not be regarded with indifference by
Great Britain. Ihe speech is most abusive
upon the character and aims of the Unittd
States.. The presence of three large English.
vessels of war was thought to have home re
ference to the above protest.

Mr. D. K. NORM., Prothonotary, Mr. Jon::
M. GREGG, Clerk of Courts, and Mr. Wit. LY
TLE, Register, , were sworn in and entered up
on their duties. Although elected under
strong suspicion of being Know Nothings,
they are vitarmly endorsed as gentlemen of
good qualifications who will discharge their
duties satislactorily. It is due to the old offi
cers, MessrS. ZINN, MARTIN and SPONSLER to
,say that they retire with the well eariied'rep
utation of attentive, faithful, andlrust worthy
public officers.

SNOW Scour.—A fall of snow to .the
depth of several inches took place on Sun
day. morning, followed yesterday by a high
wind which drilled the snow ini all directicins.
The rail road was blockaded by snow banks,
and the cars were in consequence thrown
several hours behind time yesterday. The
air is now- bitterly cold and much suffering
probably exists among those who were not
fully prepared for this sudden and sevet.e
" cold snap."

Mit. EDITOR -A 9 Winter approaches,
the practice of putting coal ashes in the
streets, has already commenced. What
right has any citizen to put his pile of dirt in
the middle of the street, to the danger of the
traveller,, the great annoyance of his neigh
bor, and the palpable violation of a Borough
Ordinance? These piles become so high as
to endanger the passage of carriages ; they
are certainly to a great extent blown into
neighboring houses by the wind, and there
fore the law very properly forbids it, and an
nexes a penalty to it. We desire to call the
attention of the Street Commissioners to this
subject and say to them, that unless they put
a stop to it, they arc responsible and indicta•
ble for it. • *
