THE Liguon. LAW.
The bill abolishing tavern licenses is
•
ff peeUdin in the State Senate. The
committee to whom it was referred re
•,orted it on ThltrsdaPlas'tovith an a
uendment authording the granting of
icences to sell iu quantities. not less than
n quart, on the payment of three times
:le rates now required by law. and re
uiring all licences to be granted by
\iourts of Quarter sessions. The biliwas
further amended by a provision that it
...timid not go into effect until ~ ne lst of
.July next. The first section then passoll
by a vote'of 18 yeas to 9 nays, after
which the bill was postponed for the
present. Mr. Wherry of this district v 9•7
ted for the bill.
APPLICATION FOR PARDONS.—The
of the Executive to imposition
by the friends of applicant§ for pardons,
•we learn, has induced Gov. Pollock tt
adopt certain rules in relation to applica•
tions of this charaoctr, which it will bt
well for the people generally to acquaint
theinselves with. Satisfactory evidence
will be required that at least five day
previous notice of intended applicationi.
for pardons was given' to the District At•
torney of the city or county in which the
Conviction took place ; and that Itt. least
trn days previous notice of the'same was
given in a - newspaper published where
the conviction took place.
ON THE FENCR.-=-01.1r new neighbor,
the Ameri.an, we flee by the last number
is rather "on the fence" as respects the
proposition for open organization of the.
American party. It is an important
question and ho is_going to take time to
consider it. The feeling.in favor of open
organization is rapidly increasing. The
Lancaster Register warmly advocates it.
.Prparc to Pre-1 'oy gour Postage.—
Our readers will bear in mind that after
the first of April, according to a recent
act of Congress, all letters sent . py mail
must be pre-paid in Stamps or otherwise,
Wore they can be forwarded by Uncle
6am. is an important • change in
the postage laws, and ought to be borno
in mind by all who use the mails
GOV. POLLOCIVS VETO.
The reckless, manner in which the
Legislature has been "putting through"
Bank charters has given rise to no little
..,
alarm and apprehension. The moderate
views of the Governor's inaugural address
,in respect to Banks, seems to have been
construed by the Legislature to mean
that he was - disposed.to sanction any thing
in the shape of a Bank character of which
reckless speculators might be able to se
cure the passage, and accordingly some
dozen have been enacted in hot haste
t
within the last two veeks, in utter disre
gard of the public w lfare. In - his mes
sage, which we pub ish to-day, returning
with his objections the bill incorporating
the Pottstown Bank, the Governor takes
occasion by firm action and clear lan
guage to disabuse the minds of the mem
bers of the Legislature of their eroneous
impressions. lie has therefore vetoed
this particular bill, and admonishes them
in strong terms that charters of a like
character, designed to increase without
any public necessity the already sttflicient
banking capital of Pennsylvania, will
meet with the same fate. The document
expresses just and sound views of the
principles which should govern our legis
lation respecting banks and banking;---
points out the discriminations which
should be made between those institutions
which are needed _by the ptiblicomd_are
properly guard d and regulated, and those
Which are unnecessary, unsubstantial,
and pernicious, and indicates a line cf
policy which all intelligent and bone t
citizens will at once cordially approve
and desire to see carried out by the - gov
ernment. The • message gives general
satisfaction in all quarters, though many
would like to see the Governor go a step
farther and veto all bank bills passed
this winter, as totally unnecessary
SALE OF'THE MAIN LINE.
It is stated that a company has been
formed who offer about three quarters of
a millions of dollars more than the Cen
tral Rail Road Company.
Several bills are before .the Legislature
making provision for. the sale of the
Maine Line, but the bill now pending in
the House seems to be of a most extraor
dinary character. It provides that if
the purcharers pay less than 7i millions,
they shall pay 20 per cent. within 90,
days, and the remainder in ten annual
instalments. if sold at eight millions or
less than eight and a half millions, the
purchasers shall not make any payments
except interes:, for ten years, and then in.
ten annual instalments. If sold at eight
and a half millions or less than nine mil
lions, the purchasers shall make no pay
ments except interest for fifteen years,
and then' in ten equal annual instalments.
If sold at nine millions, or exceeding that,
the purchasers shall make no payments
except interest for twenty years, and-then
in ten equal annual instalments. This
bill strikes us as admirably designed to
.put the Public Works in the hands of a
company of speculators until they can
make enough out of them to satisfy their
rapacious cravings, when they, will throw
them back, worn-out and used up, on the
hands of the Commonwealth. We trust
that no such bogus bill as this will pass,
or that it will not be supported by the
Cumberland County members.
AI.IIOFRIATION BILL.—The annual
appropriation bill has been reported in
the House or Representatives at Harris
burg. Its appropriations amount to a
bout $4,000,000, of which about a mil
lion and a half are to the Public Works.
, tsar Tli e Governor has appointed the
lion. Thomas S. Bell, of Chester county,
President Judge of the District compos
ed of the counties of Monroe, Carbon,
Pike and Wayne, in placo,of the Hon.
Jas. M. Porter, resigned. . •
REVOLT TN AUSTRALIA.—The latest
news from Australia is that the people
have revolted and declared their indepen
dence of the British Home Government.
Troops had been sent to put down the
insurreetion.aud sanguinary engagements
ensued.

It appears that the Spanish Govern
ment has not only consented to allow in
demnity for the outrage on the Black
Warrior steamer, but has also agreed to
remove all persons now-in office who were
implicated: in the seizure, thus making
every reparation in their power. The
Washington Union however intimates
that the President will not besatisfied
with this single concession._,. There mint
notonly be atonement for other wrongs
in the past, but
. security for - the fUture
against all aggressions_ and insults. All
ot' which means in plain English that our
government must by some hook or crook
get up a pretext to seize Cuba by force-
NEXT CONGRESS.
The result of the New Hampshire o
-I,2etion tuns three to the opposition force
in the House. There is of course some
dispute as to the classification of a por
tion of the members already elected. A
few are Democrats who have loft their
party and its recognized organization en
the Nebraska issue. Including these
gentle Men in the opposition to the pres
ent Administration, the member elected.
may be described as follows":
Whigs, Know.Noth,ings, Republicans
and Opposition Democrits, - - 123
Administration and Nebraska Democrats, 28
-Total nurt6or elected from 18 Statee,-151
tletnitining to be choseil; - - - 83
Of these latter, Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennes'see, Louisiana, Georgia, and• North
Carolina, will choose Whigs and Know
Nothings, with a small leaven of regular
_Democrats. If we allow tho
lattt'r` thir
ty members from all the States which
have•yet to elect we shall be liberal. We
may allow them, therefore, in the whole
house fifty-nine members, or„enough to
call the yeas and nays. inat is a privi
lege which - ought not to be denied to per
sons-so fond of taking the responsibility
as the Democracy boasts orbeing.
tThe uncertain and fleeting nature
of political popularity •is exemplified in
the case of Franklin Pierce and his own
State of New Hampshire. His adminis
tration opened with the warm .support of
every representative in Congress from
New Hampshire, both in the House and
Senate. It will close with both Senators
and all the Representatives hostile to
him, as well personally as politically.—
The spectacle is rare, if not unpreceden
ted, that a State which furnishes the
President should not send a single Sena
tor or Representative to sustain his ad
ministration.,
NEW HAMPSHIRE EeECTION—FuII re•
turns elect Metcalf, American, Governor,
by a majority of about 1000 votes over all
others, and 2,800 overthe administration
candidate, Baker. The American candi
dates for Congress are all elected by ma
iorities ranging from 3,000 to 3,500 To
the lower house of the Legislature, only
80 administration Democrats are elected,
out of a total of 30G. The Senators elec
ted are all Opposition, except one.
Skirl Colonization meeting was held
at Harrisbtirg, Pa., on Monday a week
Gqv. Pollock presided, and made an ad
dress in favor of the cause, and was fol
lowed by the Rev. It. it. Gurley, of
Washington, and the Rev. Mr. Quay,
agent of the Pennsylvania Colonization
Society. t , .A resolution was adopted to
raise, in Pennsylvania, during the pres
ent year, at least slo,ooo.in aid of colo
nization in l Liberia.
CANADA.—The republican spirit seems
to be rife in Canada. Secret societies,ai
ing at-the ueliticul indepenslence__of _the
Colonies have been formed throughout
the provinces.
THE WHEAT CROP. -The I Ohio Cultivator
pubh,bes letters from various Counties in Ohio,
embracing the principal whont-g• owing sec
tions, and the letters all concuriti saying that
the breadth or ground 'covered with wheat is
trim ono-third to one fourth less than an ave
rage. This is accounted for by the fact that
the long driatith of Last
` summer and fall pro•
• mted the ploughiii,g of sod. lends, and fall
sowing was therefore ,confined to stubble anti
on alt nds Resort will be had, its far as pom
eih'e, to the s wing of spring wheat; but as
tho growing of that variety of wheat has not
been common in Ohio, seed is scarce.

PIIII.ADELIIIA, March 26.—The Whig dele
gates who seceded from the Whig City Con
vention last wet k, because it refused to repu
diate the Know• Nothing party, held a conven
tion of their own on Saturday evening, and
issued a call for ward meetings. From 76 to
14)0 persons were present, and resolutions
were a lopted denouncing the secret party,
charging the proa..• ..:rt.
hining to offer the Presidency of the United
States to " a New York adventurer,',' at whose
feet are to be laid the interests of Pennsylva
nia to be trampled on. They also reprobate
the Legislature for passing numberless bank
charters, thus inflating the currency, and
generally denounce both the State and Muni
cipal governments, and declare for freedom of
conscience and fidelity to the constitution.
THE SUNDAY LIQUOR LAW.—The law pro
hibiting the sale of liquor on the Sabbath
day, goes into effect on the first of April.

house keeper, tippling shop •keeper of any

the other half to the overseers of the poor.
The violator may also in addition to the above
penalty, be-presented for a misdemeanor, and
be fined not less than $lO nor more than
$lOO, and be imprismed from ten to sixty
days.
ENLISTMENTS ron THE EASTERN is
settled beyond a doubt that recruting offices
are now actually open in Philadelphia, New
York, and other American cities, to procure
soldiers for the British " foreign legion," to
serve in the pending war against Russia. The
agent in New York has shipped off eighty per
sons already to llalifax, where they are sworn
and regularly mustered into service, and he
says ho could procure five hundred men in
New York in a week, if he had the' means of
shipping them.

the throne, having peacefully succeeded hie

that be will adhere to the policy of his father.,•
The Duke Constantine and other brothers and'
officers have taken the oath of allegiance t 0
the Emperor.
A speck of disagreement has arisen be
tween England and France. Napoleon de
clared the two armies should not act together
if the investigations of the EngliEd. Parlia
ment were proceeded with. Lord Clarendon
went by express to France to set the matter
straight, and it is thought Parliament will bo
disolved in order to stop the investigation and
obviate the diffimicy.
The confirmation of the news of the death
of Nicholas created the utmost excithtnent all
over Europe.
Hopes were entertained at first that peace
`would be the" consequence of Alexander's suc
cession. But these hopes were darripeued by'
the announcement that ho would follow the
course of his father.
