zW- We omitted to notice last week
that. Mr. Alfred Sanderson has become
associated with his father in the editorial
charge of the Lapcaster Intelligeneer, the
local department, of which displays the
talent of.the youthful Editor. Our old
friend the Captain is informed, by the
way, that we have' or seen the myste
rious personage to whom he refers.
Mn. BANKS —Our neighbor of the 'feral.
says that Mr. Hanks, who is supported t thi
Northern 111101 V Nothing Niembers of l'ongres•
for Shenker, '• is not an Abolitionist " Tel.
that to the Marines, Mr. 11 , rala' e say he
'is, and lies been for many years, an Aholition
ist of the very worst character. In answer t.

Hiner. Mr Banks distinctly said he was in to
cur of the Wilmot Proviso, and believed in
"Me rqUaiitY M • Me white and ',lack rares."—
Volantrer.
It is not worth while for our neighb ,, r
to attempt such outrageous falsification
in the very face of the record. The con
gressional report shows that Mr. Banks
made no such declaration. A member
by the naive of Barksdale very absurdly
asked Mr. Banks whether he believed
the ne , ro equal to the white man, &c.
Mr. - Banks replied that lie understood it
to be a natural law that if two races were
brought into intimate relations,the infe
rior always succumbed to and was absorb
ed by the superior ; and he proposed to
await the developement of the future be
fore deciding which race in this country
should so swallow up the other! This
was a very proper answer to a ridiculous
question, and was received by the House
with a shout of applause as a capital take
off;.
The Volunteer persists in calling, Mr.
Banks an Abolitionist. It' we are nut
mistaken Banks belonged to the Pierce
party in the preceding Congress. - lithe
Volunteer acknowledges that party to be
Abolitionists then Banks was one too,

GEN. PIERCE AND THE PRESIDENCY.
Washington correspondent of the
New York Commercial says :—"lf the
south take up Mr. Pierce, the Northern
delegation, consisting as they do of in
fluential office-holders, will follow. Eve
ry Southern State has been promised the
Vice Presidency by Mr. Pierce's friends,
and every politician has therefore a ticket
in that lottery. Then, again, Mr:Pierce
is in power, and has still a large amount
of patronage to dispose of. • Therefore,
his chance for renomination is very : l'air
--better than Senator Hale is willing to
allow."

THE LIQUOR LAW.
An animated debate is in progress in
the Ilou , e of Representatives at Harris
burg, on the subject of repeiding the
restraini . ng liquor law. The opponents
of the law, although in a decided majori
ty in the House, are by no means of one
opinion in regard to the course of action
to be pursued One section of them
are in favor of the unconditival repeal
of the law and a return of the old license
system ; while the others oppose the .re
peal of the present law unless a more
stringent license system than formerly is
adopted. The bill before the House is
for the repeal of the law, and the debate
is on the question of re-committing it to
the proper committee with instructions
to report immediately a stringent license
law
The members generally seem to
regard it as incumbent upon them to
"define their positions" on this ticklish
subject. A number of eloquent and
lengthy speeches were made last week by
leading members, on both sides of the
question, and it is evident that a crowd
of others intend to be heard before a vote
is pressed. The speeches of Mr. Morris,
of Philadelphia, and McCombs, of Law
rence, against the repeal, and those
of Messrs. McCarthy, of Philadelphia,
and Wright, of Luzerne, in favor of re
pealing the law, have so far attracted the
most particular attention.
fictitious on the subject have as yet
c,iine only from one side—the friends of
oprit/ keeping a steady stream of them
pouring into both Ilouses day by day.
But few remonstrances against repeal
have been presented as yet, thouali it is
said the friends of the law are wikito ,
up and'mean to make themselves speedi
ly heard. One petition, thinly
from citizens of Lancaster countv, in fa
vor of repeal, was presented on Wednes
day last. This monster petition of course
made a sensation, but Mr. :McCombs
girve a fatal blow to its potency next day
by unrolling it before the House and
pointing out that several columns of the
names were exact repetitions of the oth
ers, and that some of the signatures had
been written Jinn., five and six times
Sueli a petition he pronounced to be a
fraud tipoi the House.
In the Senate a new liquor bill has
been presented by Mr. Wilkins, which
is intended to supersede the present law.
ft provides for two classes of licensed
houses—the first to be allowed to vend
spiritous and malt liquors at rates of li.
cense varying from $5O up to $l.OOO a
year. The other class to he confined to
the sale of inalt liquors only at a less rate
of the first class. No ac

we learn from Washington correspon

members from any obligation or commit

SOUTHERN DICTATIONS
MR. RicittAnnsoN, of Illinois, the
Democratic candidate for . Speaker of the
House, in answering the catecluttical
queries of Mr. Zollieoffer, took some po
sitions which have given so much dis
satisfaction to the ultra pro-slavery portion
of his supporters, as to cause him the loss
o f s everal votes,'Th e Democratic party
is so uniformly in high favor with south
ern statesmen, that it is strang'e to find a
dissatisfaction, and more especially with
a Man who, like Mr. Richardson, has
done so much to conciliate the favor of
that very section which 110 W repudiates
him. The passage in his speech which.
above all others, gave umbrage to the
representatives of South Carolina and
11 i6Nissippi was the following!
“In 1818 we acquired territory from Mex•
ico ; that was free I voted repeatedly to ex
tend the same line WesPO the Pacific Ocean.
I vetw.l for that line with a few rt presentatives
from the North and the whole body of Sonfh
ern representatives. When I gave these votes
/ do/ not believe then, nor do beliein 4 -51 - lint;;—that
/ violated the Constitution of the - Ititt4 gtutes.
If you had power under the Constitution to
exclude slavery front half of a Territory, I
thitik you have power to exclude from all,
though such an exercise-would be unjust and
wrong. I have never, therefore voted to ex
ercise that power, except upon the principle
of compromise.'
Nothing can more strongly illustrate
the progressive tendency of Southern
demands than the fact of Southern repre
sentatives being excited to rebellion
twairtst this speech. In company with
the whole body of the Stiuthern repre
sentatives, Mr. Richardson voted repeat
edly, as he says, to extend the Missouri
Compromise line to the Pacific. Then
it was.the most extreme demand of the
South, and in order to vote for it, Mr.
Richardson was obliged to array himself
in dikposition t) the great body of his
fellow representatives of the North.
Since then, however, tactics have
changed, and now he is required by the
arrogant dictators to pronounce the very
thing uneonstitutjonal which hut a few
years ago the whole South wanted hint
to vote for. Having smite
. regard for
his consistency and character us a public
man, he haa refused to do this, vod iti

HoitsE KILLED.—On Saturday last
a horse and sleigh, dviven by an old gentle
man named Minnich, living near Newville,
came in collision with the passenger cars, a
mile west of town where the rail road crosses
the turnpike. The horse had just got on to
the track as the cars came up and was instant
ly caught by the cow catcher of the locomo
tive and killed. Fortunately the shafts of
the sleigh broke and thus prevented it from
being dragged along, or a fatal casualty might
have occurred tc Mr. Minnich and his wife who
were in the sleigh. They were probably pre
vented from hearing the approseV;d the cars
by thb noise of their sleigh belle. .

I'uoTEsTANT _MISSIONS IN IRELAND.
—We are requested to announce that the
" Deputation front the Wesleyrn _Methodist
Church" in Ireland, who have been holding
Meetings in the large cities for some weeks
past. are about to visit this borough. A pub
lie. meeting in behalf of the Wesleyan Missions
in Irefand will be held in the M. E. Church.
on Monday night, January 28, at 7t o'clock.
Addresses will he delivered by the Rev. WIL
LIAM Brm.F.a., of Lynn, Mass., the Rev. It
SCOTT, of Ireland, and by the Rev. Dr. Mr-
C.s.tvrocK. As the subject is one of great
interest to Protestants of all denominations,
we hope there will be a large 'gathering pro
this occasion.
THE OLDEN TIME.—Vie are indebted
to an esteemed friend in Shippensburg for
a copy of The Eagle or Carlisle Ilerald, dated
Wednesday, October 28, 1801 ; Volume 11 1
NO. 109. This shows that the herald was
established about theist of October, 1799.-
I'n 1801 it was published by John P. Thomp
son, who appears also to have been Post Mas
ter in Carlisle at the same time. Whether
he was the original projector and proprietor
of the paper we are not informed. The Her
ald of 1801 was a little dark, dingy sheet
about one third the size of the present Herald,
and the price of subscription was $2 a year
Think of that, you who oow get our large and
well filled sheet'for $1,50 in advance !
In its early days the Herald appears to
have belonged to that old apd respectable
party, the F'edera'l party. Frotn , the number
before us we learn that the Democrats swept
the State pretty clear in the election of 1801,
as they have occasionally done since The
party feeling of the time seems to have been
exceedingly bitter. The Federalists of that
day were not a little indignant that a foreign
er like Albert Galindo, was, in the .'language
of the Herald,,".thought fitter than any Amer
ican to be placed at the head of our finances."
it is an instructive commentary upon this
state of feeling that, before his death, the
venerable Albert Gallatin was its decidedly
repudiated by the modern Democratic party
as he formerly was by the ancient Federalists.
The advertisements o,f the old Herald show
.the enterprise of thtlyay in rather amazing
ebutrast with the itt-aheaditiveness of our
times. For insti, a new line of Stages
was adverti4ed torus to Baltimore in /no
days, leaving Carlisle every Saturday morning
at 4 o'clock• and arriving in Baltimore on
Sunday evening! Fifty years have passed by
and we can now get to Baltimore half a
day. Of course dire old Herald of 1801 has
no telegraphic despatches in it. The foreign
news published in the Herald of , Oct. 2.Bth,
we iltid was received In the previous' month
of August. Smintich for the olden slime and
our slow but patriotic forefatitirs

LAND AWCIATION OP COLISI,E.— -
We learn that a number of enterprising gen
tlemen of this borough have associated them
selves together, for the purchase of Western
lands, under the title of the " Land Association
of Carlisle." We believe the object of the
originaWs of clAjs_p.roject is, to form a corn.
pony of o n e hundred individuals, each member
of which shall contribute to its, funds, weekly,
for the space of five years, the sum of fifty
cents. This money will be appropriated from
time to time, as the Association may direct,
to the purchase of public lands in the different
Western States and Territories, and at the
expiration of that period the whole will be
avid or divided among the members. The
company will he regu'arly organized, with a
President, Managers, Treasurer, Agents, &C.
We believe these are the main features of the
new project . ; but, as we have our information
merely from rumor, we may be mistaken in
some particulars. We hear that several gen
tlemen of capital and enterprise. have taken
'hold of the matter, and in their hands, we
feel persuaded, the project will not be per
mitted to fall through.
This is certainly one of the most feasible,
and, we think, will prove one of the most pro
fitable enterprises ever undertaken by any
portion of our citizens; and the wonder is,
why it was not embarked in years ago. These
Associations are quite numerous in the East
ern States, and in moat instances they have
realized enormous profits, besides furnishing
cheap and comfortable homes to thousands of
poor families. The investment is a sate and
certain one, and we wishtthe new Company
