The, subjoined communication which
we find in the Morning Herald, proposing
tee lion. CHARLES B. I'ENItOSE for U. S.
Senator, does but hare justice to that
gentlemen's high personal character and
;:istinguished qualifications. Among the

the U. S. Senate.
Ma. EDITOR.--T would avail myselfofyour
columns to suggest the name of Cites 13.
PENROSE, of the city of Philadelphia, as' a
candidate for United States Senator. Mr
Peniose's enlarged legislative experience
acknowledged ability and popular manners
eminently fit him for the position. His zeal
in the cause of Americanism ,
at a period
when other public men held back, entitles
him to the consideration of that party. He
was among the first to raise his voice against
the proposed division of the Sshoot Fund, a
main cause in the overthrow of the Demo
cratic party. A native of Pennsylvania, and
a recipient of favors at the hands of her peo
ple, he has her interests alone at heart, while
at the sate time thoroughly imbued with the
prevailing feeling of the nation, he will in
deed be an American Senator.
A MEMISEE. OF VALLEY COUNCIL.
KANSAS.—The election for Delegates
to Congress from this Territory, has re
sulted in favor of Gen. J. W. Whitfield,
by a large majority. He was the candi
date of the "Squatter Sovreign." The
opposing candidate was lion. lt. I. Flen
niken, formerly of Uniontown, in this
State,'and Charge de A trairesto Denmark
under Preident Polk's administration.—
Witfield's election is considered a Pro-
Slavery triumph, Ind probably is, although
Flenniken has not been known as an anti
slavery man heretofore.

MUTINY IN THE CAMP.
Mr. Bonham's address calling for a re
organization of_ the late dethocratic party,
don't seem to meet with that favorable
response from his former party friends
-which would augur success to his under
taking; indeed in some instances his
call is treated with downright disrespect
and contempt. Among others who turn
the cold shoulder at , it is the Reading
Press, who is so irreverent tßwards the
old party as to speak of it in this wise :
"The publication of this pronunciamento
of Mr Bonham, is like summoning the spirits
of the 'vasty deep,' to aid in reconstructing
the 'platform which fell, with the damning
weight of the corrupt demagogues who stood
upon it last October. He might as well have
~:filled upon Jupiter to drag hitnst•lf and the
sham democracy out of the' mire ; the re

TIM VICTORY IN NEW YORK

HOME MINUFACTURES—FouEiGNE > ns•-11
the Native Americans are opposed to having
foreigners come into this country in such
numbers, because they come iu competition
with native labor and skill, would it not be
well to extend the
_view a little further, and
oppose the enormous importation of the pro;
(bias
,Ireign labor. We can see no dif
ference between allowing foreign laborers
and mechanics to come to this country and
work in our manufactories, and allowing
manufactured goods, which they produce in
Europe, to be brought here and sold in such
extravagant quantities as to keep us forever
in debt - to European manufacturers and mer
chants. It is well known that the present
financical difficulties in this country, arise
mainly from the excessive imports of the last
few years a large portion of which -have yet'
to be paid for. Had native and foreign la
bor manufactured those goods in this coou.
try, this drain of specie and financial em
barresment would not have occured, and no
`crisis,' would have been talked of, and no
panic felt.-Pitt,thurg Post. •
The above is from a leading 'Democrat
ic' paper in Pittsburg, and is sounclDenP
ocrJitie doctrine, to which w 3 heartily
subscribe. In view of the frequent mon
ey and business panics, occuring from
time to time, and brought about almost
entirely by the excessive importations of
foreign goods and manufactures, we think
it high time for tke people of all parties,
to re-assert the old Jefferson and Jackson
doctrine ofprotection for the sake of pro.
teetion, and not merely incidental to rev
enue. With the millions of gold and
silver coin going out of the country by
nearly every steamer, to pay for these
'foreign fabrics,. it is no wonder that our
.iwn country is impoverished.

The Post Master General's report is
long but interesting., The principal items,
may "be summed up as follows :
The number of Post Offices in the United
States is -23,548; the annual compensation of
257. of which amount to $l,OOO and up
wards. During the last year, 1,812 office,
were established and 611 discontinued.—
Number of mail routs, 6,697. Number of
mail contractors, 5,167. Total annual trans
portation of limits, 53,387,005 miles, at a
cost of $4,630 676. Total expenditures, $B
- including $5,401,382 for ocean ser
vice. Total revenue, 6,955,586—Which
leaves the deficiency for the year 1851 at
$1,758,321. The deficiency for the year
1853 was $2,117,078. The P. M. General
recommends prepayment on all letters, and
complains of the small increase of revenue
froth postage on printed mattt r, and recom
mends a change of the present. law so as to
leave the Department to fall back on the law
of 1825, under which quarterly 1 uients in
advance on newspapers and periodicals hate
heretofore been required. If this recom
mendation - be adopted, "the quarterly post
age, fur instance, on a weekly newspaper or
periodical not exceeding one and a half
ounce, circulated in the State 'where...publish
ed, (and
,in the same proportion for more
frequent publications), will be six and a half'
cents; and when not over three ounces in
weight, sent to any pak of the United States,
thirteen cents a quarter. The newspapers to
subscribers living in the county where pub
lished will continue to go free." 1n view of
the frequent loss of valuable lritters, contain-
Mg money enclosures, ent-custtaolthe mails,
the Postmaster General has devised a plan
of registering -suCh-letters, Which would -pre
vent 'the evils. As to carry' it dot re
quire increased clerical force and cdlfsidera
ble expense, he does Pot feel at liberty, to
adopt it without the sanction of Congress,
and • authority to establish such additional
rate of postage on this class of letters as
may be deemed adequate to the expense of
registration. An additional rate of five cents
would, he thinks, be sufficient.
AMERICANISM IN CONGRESS
The Washin"-ton correspondent of the
Vora/ American says the K now Nothings
have made themselves manifest in Con
gress in an imposing manner. An excit
ing debate iii relation to the meeting of
Foreign Ministers at Ostend,' elicited
rather startling developments. The
Writer says :
Mr. Sellers, of Maryland, led the cortege
this morning, with bills and resolutions look
ing to the establishment of their principles
in legislation and official appointments.—
They gave rise to an important and sugges
tive debate, and a struggle began which
lasted through the day, and ended as a drawn
battle. The subject is still pending. Al
ready, though no member of the present
Congress was elected as a Know Nothing,
the party seems to have a majority in the
House. A popular feeling exists' against the
appointment of Sou 4, Belmont and Owen,
which, I think, will compel their recall.
There was not one meinber who spoke who
did not refer to them as improper representa
tives of the country abroad.
This new question will derange all party
calculations, and will submerge many exist.
ing issues. The neatest of the Democratic
politicians admit that it will have its run
until after 1856, but after the Presidential
election of that year, they predict an home
dime disruption of the organization. This
is a very encouraging view or the ease for
the K. N.'s—who would probably compro
mise with all opponents on the success now
promised them.
There was ono point in the day's debate,
which was very striking. Several members
opposed the resolutions with much vehe
mence, but none of them called the Know
Nothings hard names. None of them abused
the new .party as a gang of cut throats,assas
sins of the constitution, and so Ort. , NO one,
in short, indulges in that abusive slang
against Native Americanism_ and its princi•
pies, which termed the staple of the deuuuci•
ations of the Washington Union, previous to
the late elections. Power compels respect,
and strength is a wonderful corrective of in
solency.

IMPROVEMENTS.—The local itemizer
of the Volunteer gives quite a gratifying
view of the improvements of the town withirk
the last season, which show conclusively that
Carlisle is still going ahead—surely if slowly.
The new County Prison is the first • and
greatest improvement. He pays welbmerrited
compliments to the County Commissioners, 1 ,
to Mr. Haviland who furnished the design,
and to Meisrs. Myers '&
Gutshall the Con•
tractors, and says of the building, "this
Magnificent structure is now completed, 'we
believe, in all its parts, and already there are
some prisoners confined within the limits of
its massive walls: • This prison is undoubted
ly one of the strongest, handsomest and best
finished in the State, and the beauty of its
architectural proportions, the height .and
graceful symmetry of its towers, together
with the central position which it occupies,
make it the 'observed of all observers,' of
the-citizens of our own county as well as of
strangers from abroad. It is now the chief
ornament of the borough, and it will proba
bly occupy its present position for centuries,
bid ling defiance to the effects of time, and
reghxdless of the attempts of that oft-times
dangerous element, Pim:, to injure or zi:
stroy it."
it n The new German Evangelical Lu
theran church on the corner of Pomfret and
Bedford streets, is so far forward that the con
gregation expects to commence worship in it
early in January. A new School 'louse, de
cidedly tasteful in external appearance, has
been erected in ',outlier street. A very neat
series of improvements is exhibited in the
new dwellings erected on North Hanover
street by J. 13. Parker, Esq., Dr. S. B Kief
fer, and Mr. F. Corninan. An elegant.dwel
ling has been erected on the corner of Pom
fret and West streets by Mr. James Hoffer.
I3uildings have been erected also in other
sections of- the town by Messrs. John Mell,
Henry Myers, Daniel Bailey and Andrew
Martin. May the march of improvement
continue onward!

The Farm Journal for December,
completing the fourth volume, has been re

much information that is invaluable to far
mers, and we should think none of them
would like to do without it. As its title in

TFIE PEALE CASE.—OVNION OF pg, 1 2 ! ,.1.
TIBTS.—The conviction of Dr. Beale hail
excited much feeling among the dentists in
various parts of the country. A large num.

York, to express their opinions^on the vaga
ries produced on the minds of - patients when
under the influence of ether or chloroform.
The finiteting•was one of considerable •inter
est, and many important facts were elicited.
The object of the dentists seems to have been
a defence of their profession—which, owing
to the misfortunes of one of the craft, was
endangered. Dr. I.3arlow thought that Miss
Mudge believed she had told the truth, but
that she was wholly mistaken. Dr. Burdel
believed Dr. Beale innocent. Dr. Castle knew
from experience that chloroform acts power.

knew a lady, while another was present, to
catch him around the neck, and give plain
tokens that she had been much interested hi
him. Dr. Hurd said a lady, in the presence
of her husband, had followed him round the
room with amorous manifestations. Dr. Mor.
n•an knew ladies to throw their limbs about
Indecorously. Dr. Parmlee would not believe .
any persons' testimony of what passed under
the influence of ether. He found it hard to
dispel such
,delusions. Chloroform then, it
was concluded, ought not to be administered
but in the presence of friends—if adminis
tered at all; Remarks, however, like these,
from practical men, would seem to show that
Miss Mudge's testimony against Dr. Beale.
ought to have but little weight. - •
REA DY PA Y.—The Lancaster Examiner
urges the cash system in all mechanical
trades, and adds : "Why don't all our me
chanics adopt and rigidly carry out the Cahn
system? As most of them have but a limited
capital, the system of long credits, and, in
many cases, trade' pay, must operate as a
drawback to their prosperity, and consequent
