Sr" It is believed that the Postage Bill,
now before Congress, reducing the postage
on prepaid letters to three cents, will be
finally adopted. We thin'f that Congress,
es an act of justice to the country press I
ought to pass a law, allowing all papers I
to circulate free of postage through the
counties in which they are primed.
Ed?The Johnstown Echo conies to us
this
week very murh improved, and we
congratulate friend Smith on this evidence
of his prosperity. In his editorial remarks
on the improved appearance of his paper,
he makes some allusions to bygones,''
vhich we think in very bad taste, and
which can have no oilier tendency than
that of renewing the bitter personal feel
ings which have already existed loo long.
We think there is very little prudence and
less democracy manifested in such a course
cs the part of a public Journal.
Judge Campbell.
The vindictive opposition of the whig
press against tue nomination cf tins gen-!
tleman for the Supreme Bench, can do him j
no injury, but on the contrary, will only !
strengthen the feelings of the democracy
in his favor. He is known to be a senile
man of distinguished legal attainments,
end' a high minded and influential demo
crat, and hence the bitter opposition of the
whig party. He has carried Philadelphia
city and county, where ha is best known
and appreciated, in a most triumph an1
manner, and nil opposition there has ceased i
in consequence ol such a decided expres
sion of the will of the people in his favor.
We want na better evidence of the ability
end capacity of a man for such an office
than that of his immediate neighbors, and
no man in the State has receiveda warmer
recommendation from such a source than
Judge Camfclll. We think we are safe
in placing his nomination and triumphant
election among the events which are cer.
tainly to occur, and vveTeel confident that
no event of the kind would be mere cor
dially welcomed by the people.

e,aves. i he people have found it neces
sary to protect their persons and property
against the depredations and encroach
ments of the numerous bands of the color,
ed race with which there State is beinr
Cooded. The action of ihe Reform Con
vention in regard to free negroes is as fol
lows: "The first section, providing that no ne.
gro or mulatto shall come into or settle in
this State after the adoption of this Con.
stitution, was adopted by a vote of yeas
04, nays 3D.
The second section, providing that all
"contracts made with negroes and mulat
tos com:ng into this State, contrary to
the provisions of ihe first section of this
article, shall be void; and all persons who
ehull employ, cr otherwise encourage such
r.fgrces cr mulaltoes to remain in this
State, sha'.l be nned in any sum not less
than ten, nor more than five hundred dol
lars," was finally adopted by a vote of 78
yeas, na) s o9.
The third section, providing that all
fines collected for the violation of this ar
ticle, or which may be imposed by the
Legislature to carry it out, shall be appro
priated for colonization purposes," was
adopted, yea9 ICO, nays 33.
The fourth and fifth sections providing
tfcat the Legislature shall pass laws to car-i
ty cut the &cur.a of the Convention in re
gard to free negroes, and that the article
shall be submitted to a separate vote of the
people, were then adopted the last by a
vote of ayes 82, nays 54.
A Great Race.
A race across the Atlantic in order to
test the relative speed of American and
British clippers is now one of the topics
of newspaper discussion m the east. The
New York Tribune has the following in
relation to this contemplated race.
The arrival of the Oriental at London
after a very short passage produced some
newspaper remarks in which the assertion
was ventured that an English clipper
could be built which would beat her in
any tact with ease. The Union' Club and
some large ship-owners of this City have
now started a subscription of $100,000 to
build a clipper costing that sum, to sail
from Liverpool to New York and back
with any similar vessel built in England,
and on the completion of the voyage both
ships are to belong to the winning party.
The subscription already exceeds over
$75,000 and will be full in a few days. If
John Bull accepts, then builders will at
once be set at work. It requires no ghost
to tell what party will come the victory."
The Appointments.
Below is a list of appointments of offi
cers on the public improvements made by
the Board of Canal Commissioners as fr
as we have learned them. We believe
they are as satisfactory as any set of ap
pointments that could have been made
under the circumstances, and we know
that all are capable of performing their re.
spective duties in a manner creditable to
themselves and the Canal Board. It will
be perceived that the duties and responsi
bilities of superintending the Portage Rail
road have been divided, and that Francis
R. W est, Esq., has been appointed Su
perintendent and Wm.S. Campbell, Esq. t
Supervisor. This division has been
deemed necessary by the Canal Board,
and made with a v iew to the lanre increase
of business which will be done on the
Portage in consequence of the connection
between it and the Central Railroad. We
know Capt. West to be a gentleman pos
sessing all the qualifications necessary to
make a good Superintendent energy and
perseverance and a determination to do
his duty and we feel confident that he
will perform the duties of his office with
ability and zeal. We believe him to be
above factional prejudices, and that he
will make his appointments on the road
purely with an eye single to the best in
terests of ihe State.
We do not believ e there is a man in the
State whose well known business qualifi
cations and intimate knowledge of the!
Portage Railroad, better qualify him for
office of Supervisor than Wm. S. Camp
bell. He knows what is wanted on the
ro id to put it in a condition to transact the
business of the coming season, and we
know he will have these wants supplied
to the best of his ability. The contest is
now over, and we are free to say that he
made one of the best paymasters and most
able Superintendent that was ever on that
Road. We know him well, and such is
our confidence in his integrity and sterling
honesty that we feel confident that he will
perform his duty faithfully in whatever
capacity he may be placed.
It is expected that this division of the
office and duties of Superintending the
! Portage Road between such men as West
and Campbell, will be productive of har
mony, not only in the administration of its
affairs, but also to the democratic party of
this county.

taTh.e following is an extract from a
letter from a Baltimorean doing business
in San Francisco, (Cal.,) dated Dec. 14th
1850:
"Owing to the heavy importation of al
most every article under the sun, prices of
every thing are down, and if 1 am not
much mistaken they will continue to go
down until there is a cessation of ship
ments. It appears to me that our friends
at home have forgotten that California has
resources of her own. We have here the
finest of vegetables in the world. Wild
fowl of all kinds, beef, mutton, and in fact
every thing an epicure could wish for, but
still, the imports continue, and in such
quantities that it will astonish me if some
of our friends don't wish that California
had never been discovered."
C" Bem, the distinguished Polish Gen
eral, is said to have died in December last
at Aleppo. If such be the case, it confirms
the secret convictions he entertained, that
he would die in the year 1850.

A State Agricultural Convention, was
held at Harrisburg, last week. . Fifty-nine
counties were represented. The pro
ceedings are too long to be inserted in our
paper entire. A memorial to the Legisla
ture was adopted, asking the incorporation
of a State Agricultural Society, and an ap
propriation from the State, which we give
below.
The memorial of a Convention held at
Harrisburg on the 2lsf and 22d days
of Jan., 1851, respectfully represents:
That a large number of citizens of the
Commonwealth, having come together at
the seat of the State Government, formed
themselves into a convention for the pur
pose of better deliberation. Thev repre
sented every section of the State." Their
objects were patriotic, and their views
were altogether free from selfish influences.
Devoted to the best interests of the great
Commonwealth to which they have the
happiness to belong, and anxiously desi
rous to promote them, they adopted the
outline of a plan for the encouragement
and advancement of Agriculture in Penn-
sylvania. As a practical art and useful
science, it is peculiar y adapted to the con-
the pursuits of the great majority of the
people and ot contributing to the advanta
ges of all.
While as individuals, your memorial
ists are ready to make every exertion for

and public undertaking which they repre
sent, must be founded on public support.
Your memorialists respectfully appeal
to the Legislature of the Commonwealth
as the immediate representatives of the
people ot the Commonwealth, for that
support. Witliout it, they would be con-

it, their design cannot fail to prosper.

of contribution through the medium of the
operations of the society will be found.
Its energies however must be crippled,
and its existence would be brief, if the
Commonwealth did not lend available as

sovereignties generously emulous of each
others prosperity, combined efforts of in
dividual enterprise and liberality alone are
wanting to give Pennsylvania the dignified
and commanding position designed for her
by nature, and pointed out by the unerr
ing finger of Providence.
Your memorialists respectfully prav
that a charter of incorporation may be
granted to the "Pennsylvania State Aeri
cultural Society" by legislative enactment,
and that such appropriation may be made
for its relief and assistance as to your hon-
t m m
orabie bodies may seem lust.
And your memorialists will ever pray,

President of Agricultural Convention
Mr. Heiser submitted the following res
olution, which was adapted:
Jiesolved, Taut it be recommended to
the various counties of the Commonwealth
the establishment of County Agricultural
Societies auxiliary to the State Society.
JlesoU-ed, That it be recommended to
the different county societies, to keep a
book of general registry in which shall be
registered all agricultural statistics; the
pedigrees of the various kind3of stock, as
well as all the important information con
nected with the raising of stock, and the
improvement of agriculture iu general; and
make report of the same to the vice presi
dent of the district in which said societies
are located, that the same may be reported
to the Stale Agricultural Society.

foolishly brought upon herself this crisis,
we hope that tue President will promptly

Steam Frigate Susquehanna Going
to the World's Fair. We find the fol
lowing paragraph in the New York Her
ald, but are unable to say whether the re
port is correct:
"It is now ascertained that a petition oi
the Philadelphia mechanics to the govern
ment, has caused an order to be given for
the outfit of the war steamer Susquehanna
to go direct to London. This vessel is
one of the most beautiful war steamers
afloat, and will compare favorably with
the best in the British service. The ship
carpenters of Philadelphia may well be
proud of her, and we have no doubt that
she will attract much attention on the bo
som of old father Thames.
