REMEMBER,
That on and after the 30th day of June
next, the "Mountain Sentinel" will be
forwarded to all parts of the county FREE
OF POSTAGE. We contemplate in a
very short time to increase the appear
ance of our paper by a supply of new and
excellent type, and shall endeavor to make
the "Sentinel" a paper worthy the sup
port of every one. To remunerate us we
should be better supported, and now make
the proposition, that if we can receive two
hundred new subscribers we will reduce
the price to $1,50 per year. This is
cheap. Cannot each one of our present
patrons obtain one subscriber and send us
his name. Try it. You can if you will.
This is all we ask and you will be the
gainers, we -the losers. Two hindred
more names will secure the Sentinel for
$1,50 per year.
HiWe direct attention to the card of
Mr. C. J. Kneedler, of Philadelphia, in
serted this week, whom our merchants
will find to be an honorable businessman,
and the very house where goods can be
bought to advantage.
nBrady's Hotel in Harrisburg has a
reputation that is indeed enviable. Maj.

amount to be applied to ihe fund already
mbscribed for its erection. See advertisement.
n?Thc absence of the editor to pur-jbc

the I-niton Democrat, that a large and re
spcctnblc meeting of the Democratic citi
zens of that county was held on Monday
7th inM., at which resolutions favorable
Hon. James Buchanan and Hon. Wm.

Hie course or Hon. John Cessna, Speaker
of the House, Samuel W. Black, Esq.,
Hon. Richard Broadhead, Hon. Job Mann
iid John B. Bratton. The latter named
L' ntlenian was recommended as a suitable
candidate for Canal Commissioner.
nr We regret to learn that Hon. Wni.
l.catty, of Butler county, a prominent
candidate for Canal Commissioner, is
afflicted with paralysis, and at the last
accounts was quite feeble.
Since the above was in type we have
received the melancholy intelligence of
Ins death. He died at Butler, on Saturday
1 ist, in the midst of his friends, just when
his talents and usefulness were about be
ing acknowledged. The honorable de
feased was a prominent candidate for
Canal Commissioner; and, had he lived,
would have been supported with zeal by
his many admirers. He was a good citi
zen, a mar. of unquestioned ability, and a
Democrat in deed and in truth. He has
cone hence, to enjoy more enduring hon
ors than those which awaited him here.

The Appropriation Bill.
The passage of this bill which is an
nually watched with so much interest,
and which was regarded this year with
more than ordinary feeling on account of
the large appropriations contained in it,
and the authority given to the Banks to
issue a million of dollars in small notes
of the denomination of 1, 2, and 3 dol
lars, was lost on Monday last.
In consequence of the disagreement o
the two houses, it went to a committee of
conference, who were also unable to agree
and the bill fell.
At the night session on Monday eve
ning Mr. Rhey from the committee of
V ays and Means reported a new bill,
which on his motion was immediately
taken up and passed the House by a rote
of Yeas 72 Nays 22.
The bill was then sent to the Senate
which body it passed, and we have no
doubt became a law upon Tuesday last
by the signature of the Governor.
All the sections of the bill which for
merly passed both Houses, were adopted
without any opposition. The section rel
ative to the North Branch Canal, giving
that improvement 8175,000, the Portage
j Railroad 8175,000 providing that any
amount in the Treasury not otherwise
appropriated, should be equally divided
among the two, after the payment of the
ordinary and extraordinary expenses of
government, and appropriating the funds
raised by the sale of old materials on the
Portage Road, to the improvement of .that
work, was debated by Messrs. Rhey
Penniman and Bowen, and agreed to.
CSThe proceedings of our Court in
relation to the death of the late Judge
Burnside will be found in our columns.
Mr. Magellan delivered an eloquent dis
course on the character, virtues and legal
abilities of the deceased. Aur. Drum,
Esq., of Indiana, also made some very
appropriate and feeling remarks which
were listened to with attention.
Confirmations. The Senate, on Wed
nesday, unanimously confirmed the nom
ination, by the Governor, of George
Chambers, to be Associate Judrre of the
a 1
Supreme Court, in place of Thomas
Burnside deceased.
The Senate also confirmed the nomina
tion of Jame3 T. Dale, as President
Judge of the 4th judicial district, and that)
of James Gardener, as Associate Judge of
the Court of Common Pleas of Blair
county; also, James A. Alexander, as As
sociate Judge of Warren county; also,
John C. Kurtz, as Associate Judre of
u
Somerset county; also, Jonathan Knepper
Associate Judge of Somerset county
Another Counterfeit. Counterfeit
relief bills, of the denomination of five
dollars, on the Middletown Bank, have
recently made their appearance, and may
easily detected on comparing them with
the genuine oil!. The signature, and the
figures composing the head, are in a hea
vier hand and in blacker ink than the
(genuine. On examination the word"live," I
on the bottom lincing of the genuine, oc-i
curs twenty -seven times, and on the coun
terfeit but twenty-six. On the imprint of
the genuine, Danforth, Underwood & Co.,
there is a period ( . ) after the "Co.," in
the counterfeit there is none.
Pennsylvania Isislalnre.
In the House of Representatives on the
ISlh inst., Mr. Bonham offered the fol
lowing amendment to the bill relative to
the election of Judges:
That hereafter te ninth judicial district
shall be composed of the counties of York,
Cumberland and Perry.
The tenth judicial district of ;he coun
ties of Bedford, Somerset, and Westmore
land. The sixteenth judicial district of the
counties of Huntingdon, Blair, Cambria,
and Indiana.
The eighteenth judicial district of the
counties of Armstrong, Clarion, Jefferson
and V enango.
The nineteenth judicial district of the
counties of Adams, Franklin and Fulton.
Ihe twentieth judicial district of the
counties of Juniata, Mifflin, and Union.
U Inch was adopted yeas 57 nays 2 1.
GThc bill making these changes in
the Judicial Districts has been vetoed by
the Governor. His principal objection to
the bill is this, that it requires all the
Associate Judges of the Commonwealth
to be learned in the law, which ho be
lieves to bo a violation of the Constitu
tion. The Courts of II
..uunu-uUIJ UUU
Indiana counties were directed to be held
at the same time, which no doubt was an
act of in idrertancc rather than design
but with such marks of hasty and incon!
SidVatc legislation, he felt bound to veto
the bill.
The Legislature adjourned on Tucs
hist at 12 o'clock M.

a synopsis of the causes tried at the last
term of our County Court. It is our in
tention to publish hereafter, at the end of
each term, a list of all the cases tried da

MEETING.
At a Court of Common Pleas held at
Ebensburg for the county of Cambria, on
Monday the 7th day of April 1851, M.
D. Magellan, Esq., in a few eloquent,
feeling and appropriate remarks, announ
ced the death of the Don. Thomas Burn
side, late one of the Judges of the Su
preme Court of Pennsylvania, when on
motion the Court adjourned.
A meeting of the officers and members
of the Bar was then organized by appoin
ting the Hon. GEORCJE TAYLOR,
President, Hon. John Murray and Hon.
Philip Noon, Vice Presidents, Moses
Canan and William Kit tell, Esq'rs.,
Secretaries.
The object of the meeting being stated,
the following named gentlemen were ap
pointed a committee to prepare and report
at a meeting to be held to-morrow, reso
lutions suitable to the occasion, viz: R.
L. Johnston, Thomas White, William
Banks, M. D. Magellan and John Fenlon,
Esqrs.
April 8th 1851. The meeting was
again organized. Mr. Johnston, from the
committee appointed yesterday, reported
the following Preamble and Resolutions:
Whereas: It hath pleased an All-Wise
Providence, in his inscrutible decrees, to
call from the field of his earthly labors,
the Hon. Thomas Burnside, laic an As
sociate Judge of the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania, and
Whereas: The members of this Bar,
most of whom, from an intimate personal
acquaintance, with the lamented dead, can
bear witness to his distinguished merits as
a member ol the legal profession, as well
as the singular simplicity of his heart, and
kindliness of his disposition; not only on
the bench, where his honesty of purpose
shone no less conspicuously "than his high
legal attainments; but at the fireside
where his frankness attiacted the confi
dence of all; and where his social powers
made him the centre of interest; feel, in
common, with their legal brethren all over
the Slate, the great loss we have sustained.
Therefore,
Resolved, That while bearing submiss
ively to the stroke of a just Heaven, we
cannot but feel that in the death of Judge
Burnside a great man has fallen in Israel;
and that one of our most hrillioi ii
lights has been forever cxtinmiiei.nj
Resolved, That in him whose demise
lias called lorlli tins expression of feeliti"
were happily blended all the sterling
qualities which fit their possessor for the j
varied duties ol lite, and secure ior mm t
the grateful remembrance of mankind.
Resolved, That we lender our sympa
thies to the family of the deceased, in this
their hour of trial.
Resolved, That the Hon. George Tay
lor be and is hereby requested to transmit
a copy of these proceedings to the family
of the deceased.
Augustin Drum, Esq., of Indiana, in
seconding the resolutions, made a most
eloquent address on the character and the
general and legal acquirements and talents
of the deceased. The preamble and reso
lutions were then unanimously adopted.
On motion, Resolved, That the pro
ceedings of this meeting be signed by the
officers and published in the newspapers
of this Judicial District, and also that they
be entered on the Docket of the Court of
Common Pleas of this county.

The Judicial District Rill Vetoed.
The bill dividing the State into Judicial
Districts, has been vetoed by the Govern
or, this morning, because of obvious blun
ders, such as requiring all associate judges
to be learned in law, requiring courts to

tion. The following bills were taken up and

The Boston Slave Case.
The United States Commissioner came
in at nine o'clock to give his decision.
He said ihe hearing had been continued
from day to day since Friday last, and
his decision was now to be made; and as
no Court had interposed to relieve him
from the responsibility, he should not
sunns irom it. ue was nere 10 aeciue a
great question of law on his conscientious
convictions of the truth. He should stale
his own convictions of the various ques
tions whicn had been discussed.
The first was, that a Commissioner had
no right to decide this case, inasmuch as
he was not clothed with judicial power.
He admitted fully, that a claim of this
sort came under the judicial power of ihe
United States, ard the question is whether
or not Congress had provided a proper act
empowering the Commissioners to exer
cise any of such powers. By ihe act of
1842, there was an authorization of Com
missioners to ascertain the extent, and it
was quite a common thing for them to ar
rest, examine, and imprison offending
seamen and others; holding them in prison
until finally tried. This was a degree of
judicial power.
I he counsel for the fugitive had con
tended that an act of restoration by ihe
Commissioner here, would inevitably con
sign the prisoner to perpetual slavery. He
did not agree with the counsel fully on
this point. The rendition of slaves from
one State to anotlier was of the same na
ture as the rendition of fugitives from jus
tice; only the one was to the owner and
the other to a Slate. All that came before
the magistrate before either prisoners were
arraigned, was simply the question of re
moval. It has been ascertained that Ihe act of
Congress of 1850, authorized Commis
sioners to give a certificate for the removal
on finding evidence that the claim of the
owner is sustained. The liberty of the
party was under final consultation there
lore. The ground assumed by the counsel
for the prisoner that, as a question ol" pro
perty, the piisoner was entitled to a trial
by jury here, is untenable.
The Commissioner reviewed ihe law,
cited authoiity, and then took a careful
review of the evidence, and said that there
was no doubt in his mind that the claim
of the agent of Mr. Potter was well foun
ded in fact; and said, "I deem it my duty
to grant a certificate for his removal back
to Georgia, and therefore do grant it."
Mr. Sewall arose and suggested to the
Commissioner that the prisoner had a
question pending before Judge Woodbury,
which he desired now to pursue.
The Commissioner said, I have consult
ed with Judge Woodbury this morning,
and he assured me the matter had no re
lation to this case. The certificate I have
already granted.
The fugitive Sims was then taken from
the Court room under the direction of the
Marshal.
Much excitement exists in ihe vicinity
of the Court house. Abolitionists and
squads of negroes are assembled in knots
about the corners. I hardly think they
will be fool-hardy enough to attempt a
rescue.
Boston, Friday Evening. The writ of
Habeas Corpus, granted by Judge Wood
bury, last night, on the application of
Sims' Counsel, was called up in the Uni
ted States Supreme Court this afternoon,
at 3 o'clock, when Judge Woodbury, after
a few remarks in relation to the case, de
cided to deliver up the fugitive to the cus
tody of the United States, and dismissed
the case before him. Much applause fol
lowed ihe announcement of his decision.
Judge Woodbury, in reply to a remark
made by Sims' counsel, exclaimed em
phatically, "I think that Massachusetts is
still a State of the Union, and as long as
she is such, I shall administer the laws of
the Union, or perish in the attempt." This
declaration was also received with bursts
of applause, when the Court directlv ad
journed.
Much confusion prevailed outside, and
large crowds of whites and blacks sur
rounded the Court House, awaiting the
carrying out of the prisoner. He will not
be taken out of the city to-night.
A crowd of about one thousand persons
followed the claimants to their hotel.
They were accompanied by a large police
force. On their way the crowd cheered,
groaned, and hissed but a cry for "three
cheers for Daniel Webster and the Con
stitution," was responded lo in a glorious
manner.
A few negroes seemed to be ihe ouy
disturbers of the penoo.
It is rumored that the freedom of Sims'
has been purchased by citizens of Boston,
for 1500.
Boston, April 12. During last night
there was but little excitement in the city.
The watchmen and police were under
military drill until 4 o'clock this morning,
when ihev halted in a body in front of
the east door of the Court House. The
fugitive slave, Sims, was then brought

THE INCONSISTENCY OF WHIOOLKY.
Immediately after the House of liej rc
sentatives appropriated $250,000 for ik
avoidance of ihe inclined planes oa tl
Allegheny Portage road, anJ authorized a
loan of that amount, the two organs ol
Gov. Johnston, the Daily American and
Telegraph, gave out intimations in the
most authoritative manner, that ihe Gov
ernor would veto the appropriation bill u
consequence of this loan. When the bill,
however, went
friends of the
over to ihe Senate the
executive, in that bodv.
brought forward
a proposition, no doub;
suffeesied by the Governor, that it is saiJ
will turn aside the veto. This is a provi
sion for the re-issue of oie million of
dollars of relief notes, five hundred thou
sand dollars of which is to be appropria
ted to avoid the planes, one hundred thou
sand dollars to improve the Columbia
railroad, and four hundred thousand dol
lars to be applied towards the completion
of the North Branch canal. Thus, it wii!
be seen that the Governor holds the terre:
of the veto over members interested in
these improvements, if they prope t
make them in a proper and legitimaif
manner, but tells ihem they can obtain
their object by coming into his cherished
measures of issuing small relief notes.
This is as strong an evidence of the in
consistency of Whiggery as has recently
been exhibited. They cannot consent to
make a loan in money, but are ready to
flood the State with small notes, to drive
specie from circulation, whenever an op
portunity presents itself. As the Wliigs
have not been able to succeed in issuing a
batch of small notes under the free bank
ing law, they are determined to try their
hand with a new relief law. Union.
The Democracy of Indiana.
A letter from a leading Democrat &av:
"Every thing is right in Indiana. We
mean to purge the party of Freesoilisui
which will all go over lo Scott."
The intelligent correspondent of the
Charleston Courier expresses a siniihr
opinion, as follows, in regard to the prob
able course of the Sewardite party. The
indications in the Boston Atlas, Albany
Journal, and other leading "higher law"
journals, point to the same conclusion.
The Republic, and several Fillmore or
gans, are alarmed at the signs of the time?,
and earnestly appeal to the Whigs to ab
stain from a premature nomination of
Presidential candidates:
"The President has created quite a
flutter in New York by the removal of
some prominent free soilers trom offices
and it is believed that he will a,ll
remove all thp -"-Deing now wch
.iTinced that he can expect nothing from
them but hostility. This policv, if ad
hered to, will undoubtedly, as we can now
easily see, divide the Whig party in the
Northern and Eastern States, and Gen
Scott will be the candidate of thai portion
of the Whig party opposed to fugitive art.
and either Mr. Clay, Mr. Fillmore, or
