FROM mutitisnunG
We.leadn from Harrisburg that an or
ganization was yesterday effected in the
!louse by the election .of Henry K.
Strong, Whig, of Philadelphia, as Speaker
over Wright, democrat, by a vote
of 75 to 18: The vote shows the Whig
and American strength iii the House.
In the Senate, parties are in a dead
lock. Mr. Hendricks, of Schuylkill, is
tile Whig caucus candidate for Speaker,
:ind Mr. Hamlin, the democratic. Messrs.
fiArsie ; of Allegheny, and Price, of Phil
--adelphia, both—Whig:i v -refused—however
to voto for Ilend-ricks yesterday, and as
the democrats were unable to elect there
,v,is no organization. The-course of Mr.
Price, has caused no little indignation.—
it is.eonjecttired that the diffleulty
he'settled by the democratS abandoning
their candidate, Hamlin, and going over
the support of Price, who will also re
ceive Mr. Darsie's vote and . thus secure
t!ie Speakership,
I I , DUE lIELFENSTEIN'S DONATION.
The poor of Carlisle are said to be in
.-luded among those who are to receive
the benefits of Judge llelfenstein's mu
nificent donation of coal lands, but we
do not hear yet of any arrangement made
with any of our citizens by which the
donation is to be made available. From
the accounts we have of the donation
Our borough's share of it ill be quite
large enough to put the reciPiepts in the
mo-3f, comfortable condition, and cause
the generous donor to be held in grateful
remembrance forever.
It is said that the land to be devoted
t) these praiseworthy objects is in two
tracts, and embraces about 600 acres of
the best anthracite in the State ; the one
tract for the destitute poor, is to be ca
pable of producing 300,000 tons per an
num when properly developed, and the
other tract for the endowment of the
College and African Colonization will
yield it is estimated by competent judges
150,000 tons. At' a IoW rental this
quantity will bring in a revenue of up
wardS of $lOO,OOO yearly— which is
more than 6 per cent. on a million and a
half of dollars. One of these tracts has
already been leased, and will; the coming
year, be put into operation.
FOREIGN INFLUENCE.—The foreign
vote in the United States has been for
some time past attracting much attention.
A KnoW-Nothing . ,paper in Washington,,
D. C., states,, upon What authority wej
know not, that it amounted to '253,548-
in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Louisiana,; Missouri,, Illinois, Ohio, Wis
consin;lowa, Rhode Island,' Connecticut,
Delaware, • • New Jersey . and California;
which States gave President Piercel.2o,-

GOV. REEDER. KANZAS.
It is now stated that the great-Pro
- ';. - .;lave.r.v ) Nullification interests at the
.
South and SOuth-West have demanded
of the President, or are about to demand
ill' him, the expulsion of Gov. Reeder
from his post , in •Kanzas. The threat
which they use is that, upon a refusal,
• the whole nullifying party of the South
will, at once, desert the Adininistration.
• The accusation brought against the new
Governor is that he employed liis'official
influence to prevent, so far as he was a
ble, the interference of the population of
Missouri, in the late election. This ac
icusation is quite true and the Governor .
has done himself honor by the manly
stand he has taken, against, the Missouri
'.'fire eaters." When requested to order
an election of a legislature by a public
meeting held near Fort teavenworth
Gov. Reeder . boldly refused on the just
ground that the meeting was composed
almost entirely of citizens of Missouri,
who had no rights in Kanzas. lie W:as
resolved, lie said, not to permit such an
outside interference in the affairs of the
'Territory. For this act, the Governor is
attacked most fUrionsly, in ' the Missouri
papers,-and--a-load-demand - made - fur his
immediate removal. Ft is probable that
Mr. Atcheson goes to Washington with
a determination that the labor of love
which he , has, commenced .in - making
Kanzas wslave State shall not be thwart
ed by-any refractory Governor, mind will
urge upon Pierce his dismissal.
"Popular sovereignty" in' the Territo
ries is, says a contemporary,'a strange an
omaly. It seems now to mean a right
for every man in a neighboring State to
stay in the Territory long enough to rote.
It seems to mean anything that will up
hold the power of slavery or extend its
area, but never to allow an adherence to
to those compromises and regulations by
which any territory is secured to freedom.
We have no doubt that the Loeofoe3 pa
pers of this State that cried "Popular
Suereignty" so strongly, meant that such
should be the result. In their abject
servitude to the interests of slavery, they
would'saeritice consistency, and the high
hopes of freedom. Thanks . to Governor
Reeder, the curse of slavery is not yet
affixed upon Kanzas by a legislative act.
We shall now, see whether Franklin.
Pierce will. have firmness enough to re
tain the Governor in ,his office.
PENNSYLVANIA TEACHERS' ASSOCIA
TION.—'Phis body, composed of Teachers
and County SuPerintenddits, and friends
of Education, held its fourth semi-annual
session in Lewistown,.Pa., on Tuesday;
Wednesday and Thursday of last weelc:
A large number of members were in at
tendance.
Carefully prepared reports were pre
sented .by Committees, on the following
subjects: "On the importance of the Study
of the Ancient .. . Languages, as a discipline
for the mind," by Mr. 0. C. Davies, of
Lancaster; "on Physiology, a's a 'branch
of Common School Education," and "on'
the Ventilation of School Houses," by
Mr. J. N.' Loughlin, of Mifflin; "on the
Co-education of the. Sexes," by Mr. J. 11,
Brown,. of Phila . &!phial "on Normal
Sehools,"*by 'Hon. Thos. H. Burrowes, of
~
Lancaster. Several of these reports eli
cited animated and prolonged discussion.
Evening addresses on various important
educational topics were - delivered 'by
speakers froM Philadelphia; Pittsburg,
and other towns in' the State, and: the
session closed with a complimentary en- - .
tertainment, given in honor of the peca
sion; by the ladies of Lewistown. ,

THE MORMONS-POLTGAIiIY.
ger For a long time the charge of
polygamy was,,disclaimed bytbe Mormon
advocates as a slander, and its practice
stoutly denied. Growing more bold in
their outrages, and probably instructed
by some new "revelation," the charge is
now not only fully admitted,. but the
practice is boldly defended by their
leaders. A late 'number of the Deseret
News contains several blasphemous lec
tures upon the subject by _Elder Orson
Hyde and Brigham Young, which
they undertake to deftnd Polygamy as'a
"scriptural" doctrine, taught and prac
tised by tlifounders of Christianity; and
even go so far as to maintain that "Jesus
Christ was a polygamist,"—that the mar
riage in Cana of Galilee was no other
than Jesus himself—that among his wives
were "Mary and Martha, and other wo
men," and equally absurd and blasphe
mous assertions. The institution is also
defended as moral in its tendency and
, •
every way worthy of the approbation of
"God's elect." One lately acquired bro
ther, from Illinois, is in raptures with the
workings of the institution, and writes
home to his friends that he 114 already
Three wives. "The latelii "Which lie took is
from near Hamburg, Germany. Be
says—
"She is larger than Sarah Ann or
Elizabeth, (my other wives,) and I say it
without invidiousness or impropriety, is
decidedly handsome. Her person is of
good size, very round, full chest, bright
flaxen hair, and .a soft blue eye. She
enters into the dUties of her situation
with wonderful alacrity, and is very
happy, as arc also Sarah Ann and Eliza
beth. You may he surprised at this, but
you will be still more so when I assure
you that all my present wives are anxious
that I should get another—one who is
fitted by education' and physically adapted
to take charge of the business Of. the
dairy; With such an•arrangement of my
hOusehould, every, department of a Well
organized establishment, on a patriarchal
scale, would have a head to it and be
governed in order. I have no inclination
to comply on my own account, as I am
well satisfied with those I now have; but
if I should do — so - it will be' entirely out
of regard for them. My daughter Louisa
is engaged to he .married to a man from
Pennsylvania who has already a wife and
three children."
It would seem that after all, Polygamy
is not a perfect safeguard against lewd
ness and immorality. Elder Hyde, in
his lecture, finds it necessary to bear
down upon sundry "men and women who
commit lewdness, and go and boast of it,
and laugh in the face of heaven," and
winds up with the - fdllo wing curse:
"The day shall come when their flesh
shall rot upon
,their, bones, and as they
.are walking it shall drop and become a
nauseous stink upon the higliway. Now
go and boast that you can get all - you
want for, a dress pattern, or yard of rib
bon,. go and boast of it, and the: Lord Al
mighty shall curse you all the day long.
[Voice in time stand, 'Amen.l And when
you step chunks of flesh shall drop off
your bones, and stink you enough to
sicken a dog."
, To which, we are told, "the whole con
gregation responded, at , the top, of ; their
voices, Amen!" What the end of all
this folly and fanaticism is to.he, is difk
cult to predict. Ono thing; however, is
certain—that thefo is 'serionS trouble in
•
store fur our National Government.
