it is the honest duty of the democratic press to
ur.hcsitatingdy conicnm th2 source from which !
such appointment emanated. Remedial meas -
urc3 should be alu.iys applied to appointments
which suit nct the community in which the per
sons appointed reside. The Collector of Tolls at
Philadelphia is still high in office under the p.re
eent board. At the election last fill he deserted
the standard of our party and fraternized v. iih
the enemy for the purpose of defeating part of
the State ticket. Truly was he guilty of treason
in the democratic camp, and jet he is rewarded
for it and is kept in office by a democratic Canal
Board. There was a man (iu the truest sense of
the word) who made application for the coliec
tcrship of Philadelphia and had strong recom
mendations from men of inSuenceand lung-standing
in the party. We refer to C1. Richard
R. Young. He bad the fault, no the honor, to
be born poor. By persevering industry and
close application he made himself respected.
He has talent, excellent quili.lcations, and sta
l:!ity of character. He U:is labored 7ealoutly
and indefatigably for the succet's of democratic
principles. He h is been one of the few working
men for victory over our foes and has been true
to tha rank and f.Ie of his party, never swerving
from the beaten track. Such a man should have
received some reward. His application so for
Las been refused. Justice has been denied him
and the man who sucks tho life blood from our
party is yet iu oClce and likely to be continued.
'Tis monstrous, and such conduct on the part of
those in power receives the condenination of ev
ery man who sustains the party by his ballot.
not asiting or desirous of i. turning the "spoils
of office." Instances cf the same kind are not
uncommon, and it is mcinly from such causes
that the almost univnsrl cry of "retrenchment
and reform," coium like a warning voice from
all quarters of our State, and nun who have
lc-retofore considered the "ills we have" better
t be borne than look to soine plan i..r a remedy,
now sugg?it3 the propriety of re-medeling the
manner in which our State impro vesicate are
managed.

the "bone and sinew" of the land, for the ex
press purpose of keeping in order and use

ney. Whether the bill for the "better regula
tion of the public w orks," which we published
some weeks ago, ftnd which Las passed our
Stutc Senate, js the most certain remedy we
are not finally prepared to say. However, there
is something, in fact, much in it. Instead of
our public works producing an annual revenue, '
they are annually in debt, and the deficiency
comes from the pockets of the people. A new
"slaking fund" will soon require adoption to
sustain them. In the hands of individuals our
State works would nett a handsome revenue,
and a geutlcuiau of long experience in the man
agement cf canals, and railroads, suggested to
us two weeks since the propriety of renting,
say for the first year one million dollars or less,
and increasing yearly fifty or one hundred thou
sand dollars, until the amount reached its real
level, which he supposed in ten years could not
fail to be a yearly revenue of one and a half
million dollars, which amount would pay three
fourth the interest on our State debt. The per
sons renting to keep their respective lines in as
good repair as when received. Even should tha
amount not exceed half a million, it would be
better than the present system of lesin

The Ilollidaysburg Standard, Pittsburg Post,
Pottsville Emporium, and Bedford Gazette, have !
spoken their sentiments freely and deserve cred
it for their exposition of the feelings of the
people on the "frequency with which men of
no use to the party, are appointed to lucrative j
offices in preference to those who keep up the!

Washington, March 12. Senate: The private
1 calender occupied the session. Sixteen bills of
no public interest were ordered to be engrossed.
The biil making an appropi iation for the com
pletion of the cemetery, near the city of Mexico
passed the Senate.
House : The House went into committee of the
j whole to consider the Senate joint resolutions
autaorisiag the continuance of the work on the
two w ings of the Capitol. Mr. M' Nair stated
that the investigation going on found the walls
in a dreadful condition.
Mr. Brown of Mississippi, made a hasty
speech in which he took a retrospect of the rise
and progress of Southern rights movements,
which went down from the first Union Conven
tion was held iu Mississippi, lie then passed
on to speak of his colleague having spoken in
bad taste of the old line ol'Democrats, as trying
to sneuk back into the Democratic party. Tht-y
were never out of the party, Mr. Wilcox and
his associates took themselves outside the pale
of Democracy by joining the Union party. Mr.
Wilcox rose and said that he had been prepared
for this attack upon him, but tha missiles of his
colleague were weak and had fallen harmless.
His colleague had said that a secession Jparty
in Mississippi existed as a chimera, and that
there was no party in favor of secession. I
have thought that the gentleman had too high a
regard for truth to make a declaration so base
less of truth. Mr. Brown said : I desire to ask,
does he say 1 have been guilty of falsehood V
Mr. Wilcox : I have spoken boldly, my language
can't be inisoonstructed on that point. Mr.
Brown: Do you mean lo say what I have stated
is false! Mr. Wilcox: If you say there is no
body in Miss., in fovor of secession, it is false
The last word was scarcely uttered befor Mr.
Brown planted a blow on Mr Wilcox's face,
w hich that gentleman returned with douched fist.
Ajscene of excitement ensued. It was with dif
ficulty the combatants were separated and thcis
disgraceful scene put &u end to. After quiet
had been restored by the speaker, both gt-utfe-mu

Eoth Houses met on Monday and received the
formal announcement cf the resignation of the
late Ministry, and then adjourned till Friday
The new reform and ether bills, which were pe
culiarly government measures, are considered
as defur.ct. At the moment the steamer, was
about to depart, the question was whether Lord
Dc-roy would go on witn the same m the House
or dissolve Parliament. Probably the dissolition
woul d be postponed till summer.
Lord Lansdown, in the House of Peers, and
Lord John Russell, in the House cf Commons,
both declared they would resist any attemjt to
re-impose a duty on Corn. Generally speaking,
the new Ministry were well received. A report
prevailed that the opposion would refuse to vote
supplies until Lord Derby announced the princi
ples upon which the new administration would
act.
France. The only incident worth notice, was
the arrest cf Mr. Baroc, one cf the Trustees of
the Orleans property, cn a charge of circulating
seditious publications, addressed to Napoleon
and protesting against the Autocrat. TLe charge
is suspected to be without foundation. M. Du

The election in Paris was to have taken place
on the 23th of February and 1st of March. The

New York, March 11th. The Steamer Asia
arrived at S o'clock, with 90 passengers and a
very heavy cargo. No American steamer had
arrived at Liverpool since the Arctic.
Great Britain. In the House cf Lords, on
the 27th, Lord Derby gave a short programme of
the principles which were to govern the new
ministry, repudiated au extension cf the fran
chise, and expressed a j reference for the princi
ples of the American tariff rather than a free
trade system. Ilia foreign policy will be con
ducted with the determination to maintain peace.
He has declared an intention cf imposing five
shillings duty on corn, but would first take the
sense of the country on the question ; while
avowing himself an enemy to bribery at elec
tions, which he would repress by all means in
his power, he could not assent to the plan of re
form introduced by his predecessors; in the ex
tension of education he would mainly rely on
the parochial clergy. In relation to fugitives
from other nations, Lord Derby said it was the
duty cf government, without descending to a
system of espionage, to keep watch over the
movements of such as abused English hospitali
ty. Earl Gray deemed the Premier's explana
tion unsatisfactory, with regard to import duties,
and implored him not to keep the country in sus
pense as to what his real intentions were. Earl
Fitzwilliams disapproved of the tone assumed by
Earl Grey. Lord Aberdeen declared his inten
tion of supporting Sir Robert Peel's commercial
policy, by every means in his power ; cn all oth
er points he should be aula to support the new
government. Mr. Yilliers had given notice .of a
resolution pledging the House to maintain the
policy of free trade, and arrest attempts to im
pose a production duty on corn. Mr. Hume
gave notice of his scheme of parliamentary re
form. The House adjourned until March 12th.
Reform meetings continue to be held. At Lam
beth it was resolved that the termination of Rus
sell's ministry should not deter men of that bor
ough from pressing for thorough reforms in the
House of Commons. At Birmingham similar
demonstrations took place, where the vote by
ballot was considered a sine qua non in any new
reform bill. Earl Shrewsbury offered 10,000
to build a Roman Catholic cathedral at Chester,
and a like sum for a similar purpose at Shrews
bury. Dr. Murray, Catholic archbishop ut Dub
lin, died on the 2Cth uit, in his 83d year. A
soiree was given by Mr. Lawrence, at London
on the 2Gth, at which the whole diplomatic corps
wa3 present, except the Austrian minister.
Moore, the Irish poet, died on the 2Gth, nged
72 years. Bullion in the Bank of England in

France. It is reported that a despatch had
been transmitted from the Emperor Nicholas to
the President, intimating that the cabinet of St.
