PeimN Conference and Treaty
witli the Indians.
YfcOM DIX02TS .LIFE OF PESN.
This conference has become one of the most
striking scenes of history. Artists have painted,
poets have sung, philosophers have applauded
it ; but it is nevertheless clear, that in words
ani colors it has been equally and generally
misrepresented, because painters, poets, histo
rians have chosen to draw on their imaginations
for the features of a scene, every marking line
of which they might have recovered from au
thentic sources. The great outlines of nature
are easily obtained. There the dense masses
of cedar, pine, and chesnut, stretching far
away in the interior of the land ; here the
noble river rollinz its waters down to the
Atlantic ocean ; along its surface rose the pur
?lo sraoke of the settlers' homestead; on the
opposite 6hore lay the fertile and settled coun
Ty of East New Jersey.
Here stood the gigantic elm which was to
become immortal from that day forward and
there lay the verdant council formed by nature
m the surface of the soil. In the centre stood
William Penn, in costume undistinguished from
the 6urrounding group, save by the silken sash
His costume was simple, but not pedantic or
nagainly. An outer coat, reaching to the knees,
and covered with buttons ; a vest of other ma
terUls, but equally ample ; trousers extremely
full, slashed at the sides, and tied with strings
or ribbons; a profusion of shirt sleeve and
ruffles, with a hat of the cavalier shape (want
ing Ay the feather,) from beneath the brim of 1
which escaped the curls of a new peruke were
its chief and not ungraceful ingredients. At
hi3 right hand was Col. Markham, who had met
"the Indians in council more than once on that
identical 6pot, and was regarded by them as a
firm and faithful friend ; on his left, Pearson,
the intrepid companion of his voyage; and
near his person, but a little backward, a band
of his most attached adherents.
When the Indians approached in their old
fvrest costume, their bright feathers sparkling
in the sun, and their bodies painted in the most
gorgeous manner, the governor received them
with the easy dignity accustomed to mix with
European courts. As soon as the reception was
over, the sachems retired to a short distance,
a& after a brief consultation amonor them
selves, Taminent, the chief sachem or king, a
man whose virtues are still remembered by the
sons of the forest, advanced again a few paces,
Md put upon his own head a chaplet, into
hich was twisted a small horn. This chaplet
was his symbol power; and intho costume of
the Leani Lenape, whenever the chief placed it
pon his brow, the spot became at once sacred,
ai the person of every one present inviolable.
The venerable Indian king then seated him
elf on the ground, with the older sachems on
right and left, the middle-aged warriors
ranged themselves in the form of a crescnt or
pf moont round them; and the younger men
formed a third and semi-circle. All being
atcd in this picturesque and striking order,
e olJ monarch announced to the governor that
he natives were prepared to hear and consider
word. I'cnn then rose to address them,
his countenance beaming with all the pride of
manhood. . He was at this time thirty-eight
years old; light and graceful in form; "the,
handsomest, best-looking, most lively gentle
man" sho had ever seen, wrote a lady who was
au eye-witness of the ceremony. He addressed
them in their own language ; the topicswere
few and simple ; and the beauty of his ideas
would compensate with such an audience for
the luiuor errors of diction. '
The Great Spirit, he said, who ruled in the
heaven to which good men go after death, who
made them and him out of nothing, and wlio
knew every secret thought that was in the
heart of white man and red man, knew that he
and his children had a strong desire to live in
peace, to be their friends, to do no wrong, but
to serve them in every way to the extent of
their power. As the Great Spirit was the com
mon Father of all, he wished them to live to
gether not merely as brothers, as the children
of a common parent, but as if they were joined
with one hand, one heart, one body, together;
that if ill was done to one, all would suffer; if
good was done to any, all would gain. He and
his children, he went on to say, never used the
rifle or trusted to the sword; they met the red
men on the broad path of good faith and good
will. They intended to do no harm and had no
fear in their hearts. They believed that their
brothers of the red face were just, and they
were prepared to trust in their friendship. He
then unfolded the writing of the treaty of
friendship aud explained its clauses one after
the other. It recited that from that day the
children of Onas and the nations of the Lcnni
Lenape should be brothers to each other that
all paths should be free and open that the
door3 of the white men should be open to the
red men, and the doors of the red men should
be open to the white men that the children of
Onas should not believe any false reports of the
Lenni Lenape, nor the Lenni Lenape of the
children of Onas, but should come and see for
themselves as brothers to brothers, and bury
such false reports in the bottomless pit that if
the Christians should hear of anything likely
to be of hurt to the Indians, or the Indians
bear anything likely to harm the Christians,
they should run, like true friends, and let the
other know that if any son cf Onas were to
do any harm to any red skin, or any red skin
were to do harm to a son of Onas, the sufferer
should not offer to right himself, but should
complain to the chiefs and to Onas, that justice
might be declared by twelve honest men, and
the wrong buried in a pit with no bottom that
the Lenni Lenape should assist the white men,
and the white men should assist the Lcnni Le
nape, against all such as would disturb them or
do them hurt and lastly, that both Christians
and Indians should tell their children of this
league and chain of friendship, that it should
grow stronger and stronger, and be kept bright
and clean, without rust or spot, while the wa
ters ran down the creeks and rivers, and while
the sun and moon and stars endured.
He then laid the scroll on the ground. What
King Taminent replied is not known, except
that in substance he was favorable to the views
of Fenn. The sachems received his proposal
with decent gravity, and accepted it for them
selves and for their children. No oaths, no
seals, no official mummeries were used; tho
treaty was ratified on both sides with yea, the
only one, says Voltaire, that the world has
known, never sworn to and never broken.
This scene remained to the two races who
we're witnesses and actors in it, an inheritance
of good will and honorable pride for an entire
century. From year to year, says tho venerable
historian of tho Six Nations, Heckewclder, the
sachems assembled their children in the woods,
in a shady spot as like as they could find to
that in which the great Onas had conferred with
them, when they "would spread out his words
or speeches on a blanket or clean piece of bark
and repeat the whole again and again to their
great satisfaction. "
In a few years Penn, going beyond the seas
and never returning, became to them a sort of
mythical personage, they not only held his
memory in great veneration,' but treate'a thq
whole body of white men with more kindness
for his sake. To be a follower of Onas was at
all times ft passport to their protection and
hospitality. ;
Nor have his own countrymen been less in
debted or less grateful to the Great Treaty. To
it, and to the strictness with which its provisions
were maintained by Tenn, is owing that striking
fact recorded by Bancroft: that while every
colony in the New World was visited by tho hor
rors of Indian warefare, no drop of Quaker
blood wag ever shed by a red man in Pennsylva
nia. It i3 humiliating to the pride of the white man
to think that one of his race should have been
the first to break this noble league of peace.
Forty years after the famous treaty, and five
years after the death of Onas, one of his un
worthy children murdered the first red man who
lost his life in Pennsylvania. The deed was
attended with circumstances of unusual attro
city; but it shows in a striking light the power
of a noble sentiment, that the Indians themselves
prayed that the murderer's life might be reared
It was spared ; but he died in a very short time,
and then they said, the Great Spirit had avenged
their brother. Tho venerable elm under which
the meeting took place served to mark the spot
until the storm of 1840 threw it to the ground.
It measured 24 feet in girth, and was found to be
283 years old. A piece of it was sent home to
the Penn family, by . whom it was mounted on a
pedes tal with appropriate inscriptions ; and the
remainder, was manufactured into vases, work
stands, and other relics now held sacred by their
possessors. A plain monument has since been
erected on the spot, inscribed on each face with
four 6hort and simple sentences commemorative
of the Great Treaty.

It will be seen from the speech delivered by
Governor Johnston that he looks to the repeal
of the fugitivc-slavc-law, which he regards as
open to discussion and alteration in the same
manner that the tariff of 1816 is; and that he
maintains the position which identifies him with
the abolitionists, applying the term kidnappers
to all those who would aid the southern man in
the recovery of his property, and uses other
terms of ridicule and contempt for those who
have taken the side of the constitution and
Union in the great struggle to put down the
worst spirit of disorder which has ever afflicted
our country. The wire-workers, however, in
this scene of disreputable management have
not failed to gild their resolutions with profes
sions of patriotism and protestations of sub
mission to the laws of the land. They interlard
their pledges to the abolitionists with solemn
resolves to carry out the provisions of the con
stitution, and declare that it would be a libel
upon their fair fame to doubt their loyalty to
tue cmon. in tins respect tneir language is
but a paraphrase of that employed by Wade,
Seward, and Sumner, all of whom mask their
attrocious assaults upon a compact of the
Union by the abstract use of terms used by
schoolboys when writing Fourth of July ora
tions. But neither the people of Pennsylvania nor
those of the Union can be deceived on a ques
tion of such great and momentous importance
as tho faithfuP execution of the fugitive-6lave
law. Governor Johnston was elected to the
present position with solemn pledges, reiterated
at publio meetings throughout tho State, in
favor of the Wilmot proviso. -With the aid of
these pledges, and the support he derived from
tho promise of General Taylor to proscribe pro
scription, he was enabled to deceive a large
number of democrats, and to control the entire
abolition and free-soil interest of tho State of
Pennsylvania. No respectable man dare deny
that Governor Johnston was opposed to the
compromise measures, and especially to the
fugitive-slave feature of them, which he now
says must be repealed. He separated himself
in this respect from Mr. Cooper, tho conserva
tive whig senator from his State, and from
Mr. Clay and his friends. Such being tho state
of the case, the legislature of Pennsylvania, at
its last session, passed a law repealing so much
of their previous law as refused the auihority
and jails of the State for the safekeeping of
fugitive slaves. This law which is essential
to the execution of the congressional act on the
subject of fugitives Governor Johnston has
refused to sign, and has applied to it the pocket
veto. lie avows and proclaims aloud his oppo
sition to this law; and with such sentiments on
his lips he is cheered, and enthusiastically re
nominated for the office of governor by tho
whig convention of the State of Pennsylvania.
But this is net all. Tho same convention
has voted down and negatived, by a majority of
nearly threo to one, resolutions in - support of
the fugitivo law, introduced by Mr. Scott the
whig delegate from tho city of Philadelphia.
This convention thus places itself directly in
opposition to the democratic convention on tho
same subject; for as our readers well recollect,
this last convention openly endorsed the fugi
tive-slave, law, and obtained from Col. Biglcr
the unequivocal ' declaration that, if elected
governor, he would in- good faith execute the
provisions of that law, and Eupport all the
provisions of tho compromise. ,
The' issue, then, is now fairly presented:
Shall the fugitive-slave law bo enforced by the
repeal of all State legislation which obstructs
and dcfcat3 its operation? The democrats in
the State convention answer, Aye the whigs
in their convention answer, No. The question
thus emphatically, in Pennsylvania, becomes
Union or Disunion. The democrats arc for the
Union the whigs arc against the Union, by
retaining in force State laws which make the
execution of the fugitive-slave law impossible.
This is in truth the momentous issue. The fate
of the country may now depend upon tho deci
sion of tho people of Pennsylvania. Tho se
cession of South Carolina, and all the horrors
of civil war, may hang upon the result of this
election. " '
Their must not be their cannot be longer
deception on this subject.' All the people of
the Union, but most especially the people of
the South, because it ia their special intcrc:
which is threatened, must be dealt with fairlv.
and enabled to comprehend the immense conse
quence's involved in this issue. Pennsylvania
has been called the keystone of the arch pf our
Union, an proudly can she point to her past
history an'l vindicate her title to the noble ap
pellation. ? Let her now waver let her be
moved fru her position by traitors, abolition
ists,'' demagogues, and ' disanionists--kt ' her
people be betrayed and deceived, and civil war
will stalk through the land, and all that our
Washington, Jeffersons, and Jacksons have
done to perpttuate our free institutions will be
paralyzed by ihe higher-law follies of the John
stons, and Sewirds, and Scotts.
The time has not yet elapsed to enable us to
hear( from the South ; but already we find a
zealous whijr paper in the city of Baltimore
rallying its readers to the platform cf duty,
and denouncing the traitorous purposes of
Gov. Johnsttn. Throughout the entire South,
without regvrd to parties, whether among whigs
or democra-'s, we anticipate but one voice of
withering denunciations for the man who can
thus openly trifle with the dignity of official
position, ani give up the hopes of Union, rath
er than the rood-will of abolition fanatics.
In many ?f the States of the South these
tidings frouj the whig party of Pennsylvania
will be received like a clap of thunder by men
who are locking alone at the safety of the
Union, and yho give their votes, under this
feeling, without asking whether the candidate
for the State t and federal officci are whigs or
democrats. The great thought is, How best
shall my vote heal the bleeding wounds of the
country, and pave the constitution from the
brutal attacks of fanaticism ? In those States
such a man as Johnston could command no
democratic or Thig vote, and wo are confident
that no party or candidate identified with him
will faro any better. The Union of Scott and
Johnston, as the type of the whig party, will
be that of sin and death a death from which
there will be n resurrection.
IX.ULS LEWIS.
Judge Lewis, now President of the Second
Judicial District of Pennsylvania, was born in
1799 in Lcwisburg, York county, Pa, a pleas
ant little town winch derives it name from his
father, by whom it was founded. His father,
Eli Lewis, was a Democrat of the school of Jeff
erson, and upon the election of President Jeff
erson, was chosen by a portion of the citizens of
York county to prepare an address to the Pres
ident. This address, together with Jefferson's
reply, Judge Lewis still carefully preserves in
his possession.
At nine years of age, Ellis Lewis was left an
orphan, and while yet quite young in years
was sent t Harrisburg and . learned the prin
ting trade. He next went to New York, and
worked as a journeyman printer by the side of
Geo. r. Morris. He returned to Lcwisburg
and commenced the study of medicine, but soon
went to Bal timorc. Failing to profit himself
there, he purchased. a printing establishment
at Williamsport, Pa, where he commenced stud
ying law and edited his paper. He soon dispo
sed of his printing establishment, and in the
year 1822 was admitted to the bar. Next year
he was appointed deputy attorney general for
Tioga and Lycoming counties, and in 1S21 re
moved to Tioga county, where he had a large
and lucrative practice. A few years after this
he resigned his appointment under the Attor
ney General, and removed to Bradford county.
In 1832 he engaged actively in the political
contest for Gen. Jackson, and was chosen to
tho State Convention of that year. He y.-'aa al
so that fall elected a member cf the State Legis
lature, and while in that body voted against
resolutions expressing the opinion of that body
against any reduction of the tariff.
: In 1833 Mr. Lewis was appointed Attorney
t General of Pennsylvania by Governor Wolf, but
in the fall of the same year he resigned that
appointment, and became President Jndgc of
this Judicial District. This station he filled
until about 1845, when he was appointed Judge
of the 2d District composed of the city and
county of Lancaster a district whose popula
tion and property exceed that of some states in
the Union.
But even there Judge Lewis found time (in
addition to his Judicial work) to discharge the
duties of Professor of Law and Medical Juris
prudence in Franklin College, Lancaster, and,
in connection with . Messrs. McCandlcss and
Troubat, to edit a scries of valuable law works.
In 1817 ho also published a work on "American
Criminal Law," which is in the hands of almost
every practicing member of the profession.
Judge Lewis has also rendered valuable assis
tance in the publication of tho American Law
Journal, or "Pennsylvania Law Journal" as it
was first modestly called, the best publication
of its kind in the conntry.
His legal reputation extends wider than tho
Union, for even on the other side of the Atlan
tic, his learning aud philosophical mind have
been appreciated, and received the highest tes
timonials of esteem. Wc shall never forget his
decision in which he pronounced all tuth cx-ei-ciccnc3
of IcgLdatic-n a:; the stay law of 112
unconstitutional, and exploded all such subtile
distinction as were sought for between the rem
edy on a- contract and the contract itself.
Judge Lewis properly felt that the remedy con
stitutes part of the contract, and enters into the
contemplation of the contracting parties as
much as any part of the bargain. That deci
sion of Judge Lewis was in consonance with the
spirit of a republican country and a republican
ago, while the subtle cobweb-work he exploded
was only worthy of the old English bench which
decided that such words were not actionable
"you have poisoned your husband." "Sir
Thomas Holt struck his cook on the head
with a cleaver, and cleaved his head; the one
part lay on pne shoulder, and the other on the
other," because hi the first case, although the
husband was poisoned, possibly he did not die;
and in the second case, though the cook's head
was cleaved into two parts, possibly the wound
was not mortal.
This decision of Judge Lewis showed thai he
understood the true spirit of our constitution.
His opinion made a powerful impression on the
thinking minds of the country, and we notice
that in the new states of the West that opinion
is received as the law. The last decision of the
kind is in the 4th vol. Missouri Reports p. 50,
where a stay law is decided to impair the obli
gation of a previous contract, and to be against
the constitution both of the state and Union.
Tho provision of the Missouri constitution in
this respect is similar to ours in Pennsylvania.
We will close this hasty sketch by the follow
ing incident of Judge Lewis' early practice in
this region. A number of years ago ji fugitive
slave was rescued from the possession of his
twncr in Danville, then this county, through a
writ of homine replrgiando. The Hon. David
Pctrikcn was the Prothonotary who issued the
writ, and of course actions was brought against
all concerned with the writ of rescue. Under
the act of 1793 the penalty of $500 was recov
ered from several defendants, and suit was then
brought for the same amount against Mr. Geo.
Sweeny an editor of a public journal. Judge
ment was obtained against him and he was im
prisoned. " With every confidence he sent near
ly one hundred miles for Mr. Lewis, who came
and in his argument showed that there was a
distinction between penalties imposed as a
punishment, to be recovered by any one who
may sue for them, and those given by statute to
the party aggrieved. In the former case, each
individual engaged in the illlegal act is liable
to the full penalty. In the latter case, but one
penalty can be recovered for one illegal act, al
though many might be engaged in it. Mr.
Lewis also showed that with respect to costs,
under the act of Congress, where the plaintiff
had his election to bring joint or several suits,
and elected to bring several suits, he could only
recover costs in one of them. The result was
that the imprisoned editor was liberated to the
great joy of his family and friends. Star of the

Gov. Jolmslon Re-nominated.
Since the dark days, when Joseph Ritncr
stained the honor of our noble Constitutional
Commonwealth, by assailing the Southern
States, we have had no executive who has dared
to raise in Pennsylvania the pestilential flag of
Abolition. Even the candidates of the Whigs
have heretofore been scrupulously guarded
against this cardinal offence; and men have been
called upon to vote for Governor, more because
they were decidedly egainst Sectionalism than
because they bad the slightest leaning to it. It
happened otherwise since Johnston has been
inflicted upon us; for, from the beginning, he
has been in the toils of the bitterest foes of the
Union. He began bis career in 1848, by the
most violent professions of Free Soilism, aud
wc will do him the justice to say, that from that
day to this he has not abandoned an inch of his
devotion to the cause of the opponents of the
Constitution. It appears that a grand State
meeting of his party have re-nominated him for
re-olectiou, and this, too, almost by acclama
tion; an insolent defiance of the opinions of an
overwhelming majority of the people. He re
tains in his possession the hill to repeal the
most important section of the celebrated Ob
struction Law operating in mischievous con
flict with the National Constitution in regard to
fii(ritivcs from service. We refer the reader for
o
particulars to our telegraphic accounts of the
Lancaster Whig State Convention. .
It matters nothing to us what the resolutions
of the Whigs were after this nomination for
Governor.'. All professions, on their part, must
now be regarded as hollow and heartless. They
might pile Ossa upon Pelion in tho way of pro
ffxjsirms for the Constitution, and yet. after
such a nomination for Governor, their profess
ions would be laughed at and despised.
The line of demarcation is nowdrawnbetween
the two great parties in this State, and wc enter
into the contest assured of an honorable and
commanding victory. The issue is, Biglcr, the
Constitution, the Compromise, and the Rights
of the States: versus Johnston, Sectionalism,

of the Constitution.

Tlie Queen in Ilie Glass Palace.
The Albany .Evening Journal publishes the
following among other extract from a private
letter received in that city from Mr. Johnson,
agent from that State to the Great Exhibition:
But the richest scene transpired last Monday.
The Queen has commenced going through the
Exhibition for the purpose of ascertaining from
the exhibitors any particulars Ehc may desire
to know. She commenced on Monday with n,
certain number in the English department, who
were notified to meet her Majesty. They did
so, and she passed along, familiarly examining
the articles, and making such inquiries as she
desired; and on accosting one of the exhibitors,
a stout, hearty beef eater, he was so much ex
cited that he fain ted a w ay. It would take con
siderable of a woman, I 'recken,' to make a
Yankee faint away he might be 'skeercd like,"
but I think Jonathan would keep on his trotters.
When the Queen passed through our division,
she requested information in regard to several
articles the Grain-Reaper, the American (Troy)
Company's Chairs, Indian Corn, &c. I an
swered her questions, and went on talking
much as I would to any respectable lady in our
country, with all proper deference, of course,
to the Queen and Trincc Albert and the aston
ishment depicted in the faces of the John Build
about, was truly farcical. But such is the force
of custom and education, that these people from
the highest to the lowest, will walk backwards,
"crab fashion," as Punch says, and in some in
stances, be frightened out of their wits, when hci
Majesty appears. I have no doubt that it would
be far more agreeable, if the people would treat
her with politeness; but now she i3 annoyc-J.

her, requiring continually a body guard to keep
the way clear, so that she can pass along.

of the city. I am happy to say that the loss,
severe as it is, falls lightly on American mer
chants, but European and China merchant.;

the privilege American merchants have in per
mitting their goods to remain on board cf ves

persons worth independent fortunes have with
