LARGEST AND CHEAPEST NEWSPAPER CUM HEIL LAN D COUNTY Terms —Two Dollars a year, or One Dollar and Fifty Coax, if, hail/ po , etually in Advance $1 75 paid within the yea?. THE-DIS-APPOINTMENTS. The . I,lunteer and othei' locofoco pa pers are republishing, with great gusto Of course, the virulent attack of the Lan caster Eru?Ji i7irr upon Gov. Pollock on account of his appointments. A short time ago certain American impels made a great clamor about several old line whig appointments. The Examiner and one Or two other whi t ; papers are novit..ma kin.: as furious an outcry on account of Anicriran appointments. The loc,ofoco pipers are of . couyt unspeakably rejoiced at these demonstrations. Had we been disposed we might have i iforined the word some time since that eie Governor's dispensation of patronage was not exactly to co• taste, but it is nei ther t:ur habit to fawn for favors or to in dulge in unmanly whinings over disap pointments: We now only allude to the matter now as a topic of the day. Gov. l'olloek being notoriously elected as a fu sion candidate, had an unusuallfdifficult t before him in making appointments, ti rid that he has not satisfied - all sides is not surprising: It was as unreasonable to expect hint to appoint all.whigs, as it was dictatorial to ask his exclusive favor for Americans. COMING CROPS The accounts given, by our exchanges from all sections of the country continue to indicate , good prospect for large crops of all kinds of cereal products. There have been within the last two weeks general rains over a widely extended por tion of the country, and the reports giv en show the crops almost every where to have benefited thereby. In some quarters the wheat is spoken of as making extra ordinary and vigorous progress, so as to have in a good measure made up for its irickwardness in the earlier part of the season. An increased production, grow ing, out of the greater breadth of land put in culivation, is also generally admitted. The prospect everywhere is encouraging, loading to hope that there will soon be an abundance of food for man and beast,and prices will be brought down to somewhat . of a reasonable standard. Gov. PoLLocK IN PUILADELPHIA GOV, Pollock, accompanied by Mr Cur tin, Secretary of State, has been in Phil adelphia the past week, visiting the pub lic schools in compliance with an invita tion from the Councils to that cffect.— Ths Governor's presence among the chil dren seems to have been very gratifying. ;The papers abound with actresses of wel come on the part of girls and boys in the higher schools, to which the Governor responded in appropriate terms, and on Feveral occasions, with striking felicity of thought and expression which could not fail to deeply inipress the minds of his juvenile hearers. GOVERNOR REEDER has left Washing ton, it is said, on his return to Kansas, but without any sbecial support from the Federal Government, or any promise of the solicited aid to subject the mischief makin,; Missourians to law and order.— It is supposed that he intends to face all hazards in the discharge of his duties. Eap.N. B. Palmer's Ne`wspaper Ad vertising agency, ono a ,the best,reliable establishments of the kind in thol I Ili on 11:1,4 lien removed In The following article, which we copy from an excellent Whig-American paper, the Lebanon Journal, conveys a, great deal of sober - truth and fully explodes the cant about " new men" which has been so rife within the last year. We commend it to the attention of all right thinking men : "A very popular cry for some time past has been, "give us new men! let -us elect none but new men to office!" And this was con sidered the great panacea for every political evil. Now, with nil deference to the public feeling for 'new men,' we beg to express our decided belief that new men, in the popular ncceptation of the term, are not the best men to fill office; and we think if any proof were wanting in substantiation of this assertion, the Legislature just adjourned would furnish it. We believe that that body had more in tegrity in it. and a greater desire to do what was right, than any of its late predecessors, hut most of its Members were new men, and therefore inexperienced, and were consequent ly •easily imposed upon_ by designing intrig uers and misled by-misrepresentations. We don't say that a good officer can only be made nut of . an old political hack ;—quite the con trary;—but we do say that a man must have - experience in public life, must go through n kind of apprenticeship, if you please, to pub lic business, and be acquainted with political movements, before he can be expected to make an intelligent and efficient public officer. And this is particularly true in regard to legisla tive offices. -A man must there to able to judge for himself, and as we aro all only more or less imitative creatures, our judgments are based mostly on experience. • As well might you expect n man who had never seen a law book nor witnessed a suit tried in Court, to conduct a law case skillfully ; or a printer who had never seen a type, to be a speedy compositor, as to expect a new and inexperi enced man to make an efficient and useful public officer. The people of this country, of late, have had considerable experience in " new men." President Polk was taken up as a new man, and on ; that score beat the, veteran Clay. Tint who elm now doubt that our country would at this day be in a much healthier political and financial Condition, had Clay been then -the successful candidate: Again, Gen. Pierce was taken as the very quintescence of " newness." for before his nOnlination, perhaps not one in ten of the American people had ever heard of him.— And do we want any more such administra tions' as that of Pierce? Another do,e or two of the kind would be fatal to our n tional existence. It is not so much new men, there t'oro, that is wanting, as it is men eminent for experience, for integrity, for patriotism. Men who have been tried and not found wanting, approximate the very highest standard that can be sought for in a candidate—not mere mousing partizans, over whale minds there broods continually the cloud of party, -but citizens of enlarged views, (4' liberal ideas, of progressive attributes and extensive acquire 4 mouth. Such should be the qualifiettinms for' office; and when it becomes so, who can, doubt that our public affairs will be admieistered iu a manner more satisfactory to time people." In connexion with the above we may say that it was just this looking after :" new men" which prevented the. elec tion of a United States Senator last win ter. If any regard bad been paid to the opinions ard feelings of the great mass of the people of Pennsylvania, especially that portion of it represented by the Whig and American members of Legis lature, there would have been no diffi culty in effecting an election in the per son of Ex-Gov. .F. JouNsTos, a Statesman of tried capacity, whose char acter is fully known to the people and whose election would have met with their highest approbation. But the in fatuated clamor for " new men" prevail ed and soon almost every county in the State presented an aspirant. The only man who could rally a party amidst tMs distraction and division was of course an adroit and 'scheming tactician like Gen. Simon Cameron, and the ''new men" party soon found to its great consternation that it had its bands quite full in the task of keeping an old politician_ like Cameron out! The election of a Sena tor would have been readily accomplish ed had all the opponents of Cameron united upon Gov. Johnston at the Open ing of the session, and if mad ambition had not ruled the how . , that distinguish ed champion of Pennsylvania interests would now be, as his ability well fits him to be, her representative in the U.. S. Senate. — THE " SAO INlKarra" Secret Order has spre.id tin ott,.h the West with rapidity. it is the antagonist of the Know Nothing organization. I u Ohio, Kentucky, and . - Indiana there arc many thousands of members and numerous lod=e It is said to have oaths of unusual solemnity, passw t mls signs, au lgrips, and the es 1 members are divided into ."NEW MEN." gwa , izar.t 4):trataVo THE COST OFAOVERNIRENT. The National Intelligencer gives the following as the amount of appropriations rid& during the late session of Congress. Fourteen and a half millions of dollars arty appropriated to the Post-office De partment and the Ocean Mail service 1— The - Intelligencer, in introducing the -statement, says : "This document ought to possess interest for every render, and ought to he examined by every one, as exhibiting in the mein the , d , jects en which the public revenue is expen ded. The aggreg tes of the classified ( 5, r lizls of expenditure eas follows; Civel, diplomats and miscelane ens - - '- - $1,7265,029 Army, fortifications, Military Aca demy. &c. - - - - 12,571,496 Indian department, naval, revolu tionary, and other pensions - 4,458,536 Naval service - - .- - 15,012,091 Post-office department - - 10,096.844 Ocean steam mail service - 8,574,458 Texas debt - - - • 7,760,000 $71,574,357 This vast sum of $71,574,35Zis only the amount of speHlifd appropriations. The great mass of contingent objects of expen diture, of which the sums were unascer tain3d and'could not be specified, may swell the grand total of the expences of the year to perhaps seventy fire millions of dollars. Although the Government expenees must necessarily increase with the growth of the country and the corres ponding necessities of the public services, one can hardly imagine the necessity of - so vast an augmentation of the neces sary expenses at' ---- te-N,Ooyerninent as seventy : /ire millions of dollars ; and the immensity of the sum must 'arrest the attention of every hit. lligent reader." PROTECTINIi 'riff} I. K PI RS.- Of acts passed by the late Legislature of this State, one was "to protect the keepers of hotels, inns, and boarding houses," which provides that they shall not be. held responsible for the loss of any arti cles of value by their boarders or guests, unless they be_ deposited with them for safe keeping, nor for the robbery of their baggage if they leave their rooms unlock- It gives also the right ullien upon the baggage fur board due, and renders swindling boarders who come with a mere empty show of baggage, for the pur pose of deceiving, liable to be arrested, imprisoned, and fined to an atnount not / exceeding F.lOO. frown unto (founto 31intlers Dn-KncsoN CoLLEGE.—The annual Catalogue of this Institution which has just been published, shows tho number of students in the several classes as follows: Seniors, 24 Junlors, • 21 Sophinores, .21/ Freshmen, 5(3 Partial Course, 98 Preparatory Department, 97 This is about the same number as last year and shows the steady advancement of the Col lege. Previous to last year the number of Students generally averaged but about 150. The residents of the students represent 14 States of the Union, and.there are two stu dents iron the West Indies. The means of acquiring a sound education afforded by Dick inson College, we may safely aver, are not surpassed by those of any other institution. The administration enjoys the entire confi deuce of the friends of the institution. The faculty is composed of genCemen thoroughly 'e - c - complished and of high reputation in their respective departments. The course of study is ample for the most complete mental train• icg and develophmenl.... Additional sources of instruction are also presented in the Libraries (containing an aggregate , of 20,000 " Volumes) museums, Ste., which are accessible to all the students. The cheap scholarships, under the new endowment system which is now in operation, under the advantages of education in Dickinson College, available to all, however moderate their circumstances. These schol arships are still for sale, nt the rate of $25 f 4 years ; $5O for 10 pairs ; $lOO for 25 years. The former rate of tuition being $33 'per year, it will' be soon that the opportunity is thus afforded of securing for $25 what has hitherto cost $132 for $,lO what cost $330, anti for $lOO what proiiously cost sB!sl— advantages of these scholarships, uhich way ere long be difficult to procure except nt advanced rat, s, will l , e Etilllelctitlr obvious to o:4l'o.AitS ; - the external beauty of the place but also much enlarge the capacity of the post for the recep tion of a greater number of troops. As it is the determination of the goVerument to quer ter no more mounted troops at this post, two,_ of the long buildings fornerly used as stables have been entirely ( ' renovated, plastered and partitioned into comfortable rooms, as quar ters fur men: All the buildings aro now be ing co v ered also with tin roofing, a very ne. cessaryrecaution against fire. A contract has been entered into with the water company to supply the post with the Canedoguinet wa ter, the work upon which will be immediately commenced. Another striking change has been wrought in the exterior of the buildings which haVe all been repainted, and a--lilac color substituted for the huff or straw color. The lilac is a more subdued and .less glaring color and thus more agreeable in effect to the immediate residents of the post, but stem at a distance does not eitntrast us finely with the surrounding vendure as did the former color. This Garrison now presents a surpassingly ele gant appearance and is imadniirable condition. A full'ilress parade of the Infantry takes place every evening after five o'clock. TILE STREETS.—The Street Colllmis3- loner we see has commenced what we sup pose he considers repairs'on Main street. But we apprehend that the patches of briek•bata, mortar &c., thrown at vlbrious places, will Lo regarded by the residdhts• on that street as any thhig but subtantial and desirable im provements. It would probably be better to, postpone the work until property-holders gen erally have had the water taken into their houses, when no more trenches will be dug and then the street should have a thorough macadamization from one end to the other. :RAIN !—A plod old-fashioned rain, inHi ch as we have not had before for at least a y ar, commenced on Friday night and con ueq vigorously throughout Saturday. As a conseqUm ce every thing in the way of yogi lotion is refreshed and its effeets•are very ap parent in the ri-ing of streams. There is no calculating the value of such a rain at this particular juncture HORTICU LTUR A L Soot ETY. —Why can we not have a Horticultural Society in Carlislo With the number of Amateurs and professionnl Horticulturists and Florists In our town and vicinity n very eflicient'society might be form ed. The taste forceltivating flowers is advan cing in our community and would be greatly promoted by the formation of a society. Who will move in the matter? _ THE FRUIT CROP.—Froin every part of the country, me hear cheering accounts of the in-coming crop of fruit. Every variety scents profusely loaded. The lateness of the season so unpleasant on many a•counts, will probably be an adequate protection against the spring frosts frequently so destructive. FIRST IN THE FIELD !—Major Robert McCartney, of Carlisle, announces himself as a candidate for Sheriff at the general election next fall. There are several others ready also to take the field for the same office, we understand. MARKET.—There WrlB a marked decline in prices of domestic produce in this morning's market. Butter was plenty nt 381 cents a pound and other things in proportion.. Pota toes are now selling at $1,50 to $1,623 : a bush el, according to quality. MI On tho 25'of April, by tin, Coy.
