Sale of the Public Works.
After long discussion in both branches of the
Legislature, a bill has at last gone through pro
viding for the Eale of the Main Line of the Pub
lic Improvements; and judging from the weight
of public opinion as shown from the P;css through
out the State, and from the common expressions
of citizens, as well as from the strength of the
vote taken on the bill, there is little doubt that
the Executive signature will make it a law.
The act provides that the lowest bid enter
tained shall be ten millions, for the Main Line
Whether more than this sum will be given, and
who will be the bidders, remains to be seen. It
requires no amount of calculation to exhibit that
the interest upon th't3 sum itself, would bo six
hundred thousand dollars per annum, a figure
almost double that realized by the State from the
works last year.
The most important provisions of the bill are,
1. That the first pnyment is to be cash, two
millione, and the balance in annual payments
with interest until paid. 2. That the works
shall be and forever remain a public highway
for the use of all persons wishing to transport
tonage and passengers thereoo, at rates of tolli
not exceeding those now charged by the State.
3. That the whole line shall be forfeited to the
Sta te on failure of the j ayment of the considera
tion by the company purchasing. 4. That the
contracts for new work on the Portage Road
shall be assumed and carried outby the company
buying. 5. That said company shall have the
privilege of making a Railroad from Columbia to
Pittsburgh, and f.. That the Legislature shall
have the sovereign right to alter revoke or annul
the powers and privileges conferred by the act.
As yet it is uncertain into whose hands this
portion of the State property will fall. By some
it is expected that the Central Railroad Com
rany, will become the owners, and we think this
the most likely opinion ; but others deny that
this will be the result of the sale, for reasons of
no great moment as we view the matter. We
should be glad to see a fair and honorable rivalry
between some reliable corporation, and the one
which now bestrides the State like a Colossus.
We aro not of those who wantonly, and without
knowing whv, delight in pulling the beard, and
belaboring the Central Giant. It is certainly a
great, responsible, enterprising and higldy bene
ficial company ; and by the construction of its
rod it has developed the resources and public
enthusiasm, of our great State. But the Com
inonwealth jfi never more healthy than when
her jealous vigils aretrictly kept, and she alive
every semblance of encroachment from centri
lization. How our Whig friends will bear the loss of so
important a plank in their platform, as "the sale
of the public improvements," we can hardly
know ; certain it is, they expected great gain
from so novel a hobby, and wished to make it
decidedly a Whig measure. Vanity, vanity !
when will they learn that the Democratic party
is the State's, the People's party ? They act
firm in their principles, their mutations are those
which a just discrimination dictates, and that
they only change when change is reform.

Liquor Law.
The Committee of Conference appointed by
both Houses, have reported, and the Sena'.e have
adopted the report, leaving the question of a
Prohibit jry Law to a vote of the people at the
ensuing October election. The bill will be found

Foreign Representatives.
It is a highly important branch of a nation's
character that is exhibited in the men who rep
resent her abroad. The world regards a foreigner,
clothed with diplomatic powers, as a specimen of
the people he represents, and in proportion as
his conduct is elevated, dignified, wise and firm,
will l.-e tho respect for him abrcad and the love
for him at home.
Our national honor has perhaps never been
more proudly sustained in any country, nor ves
ted upon broader and nobler shoulders, than
since it has been confided to lion. James Bu
chanan, Minister to the Court of St. James.
Every act of his, in every position in which we
find him, mirrors forth the greatness ofjiheinan,
as a republican democrat, as a patriot, as a
statesman.
At a late banquet givm in honor of the Gov
ernor General of Canada, Lord L'lgia, Mr. Bu
chanan replied to a toast of the Earl EUismore,
in a style, at once the most chaste, courteous
and strong. Speaking of the Governor he remar
ked. 'Ho has known how to reconcile his devotion
toller Majesty's service with a proper regard to
the rights and interests of the neighboring and
kindred people. Would to heaven we had such
Governors General in all the European colonies
in the vicinity of the United States."
In his concluding words he added the follow
ing complimentary to the Queen, and expressive
of the true policy to be observed towards neu
trals in times of war-
"With your indulgent patience, I shall advert
to one other topic before I take my seat. can
not suffer this occasion torus. without expressing
mij gratification vi'h kerJlajestif's ivise and liber
al declaration in favor of neutral commercial rights
during the existing var. It was worthy ol the
civilization of the nineteenth century, and wor
thy of the best constitutional soverign who has
ever sat upon the great and powerful throne of
Great Britain. The time will arrive when war
against private property upon tho ocean will be
entirely proscribed by all civilized nations, as
it Isas been already upon the land, and when the
gallant commanders of the navies of the world
will esteem it as great a disgrace to rob a peace
ful merchant vessel upon the seas, as the gener
al of an army would now do to plunder the pri
vate house of an unofiending citizen."
Far different are the emotions begotton for such
a man thus acting and speaking far loftier is
the admiration, and far deeper is the love which
his countrymen feel for him, than if, instead of
his plain habiliments, his discreet and virtuous
and powerful life, he should Count like Soule in
gaudy trappings, and tight duels for the honor
of one lady, while he sought to be the favorite
and bosom friend of another, whose licentious
ness is the scandal of Europe, nd whose gov
ernment the most weak and insolent of any
upon that continent.
Buchanan will return, if spared, to his Amer
ica, carrying a more permanent and enthusiastic
admiration than he has ever enjoyed ; and if not
promoted to higher honors, may rest easy and
say with the great Roman, " Of honors I have
sufficient cf life, enough."
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
The Ledger states, at a meeting held in that
city on Tuesday last, resolved not to purchase
the Main Line of the public improvements.
Any person may believe the above, if he thinks
proper. For our part, we do not. Such an an
nouncement is no doubt intended as a sort of
feeler of the public sentiment, and to calm th
fears of those who think that if the Main Lin
should pass into the hands of the Railroad Com
pauy, a monopoly so powerful would be created,
that our noble old Keystone State would sink
beneath it, and become like a sister State on the
East, a mere puppet in the hands of a Railroad
Company.
A great many persons believe this. Aud as
to the railroad company not wanting to get
control of the main line, it is all humbug. They
can hardly get along without it. Their own
road, on the eastern slope of the mountains, is
not very well adapted to the transportation of
freight, while the new Portage road is located
better, has fewer curves and the grades arc not
so heavy. The railroad company wants the new
Portage road, the road from Columbia to Phila
delphia, and in fact the whole line, and we rath
er think they will get it.

Pitts. Chron., of Friday, -t-
Ameiucan- CiTizEVsnir. A London correspon
dent of the Boston Post has the following in re
lation to a case that has created unusual inter
est. The decision of the Lord Chancellors most
ridiculous, and if the principal is backed by gov
ernment, will afford food for diplomacy. Accor
ding to my Lord Chancellor, we are all British
subjects who can claim British ancestry ; even
the defendants of those who came over in the
Jlavflower are not American citizens, but sub-
iects of her Majesty ! We give the extract from
the letter :
There have been two decisions in the English
courts, the past week which will not be without
interest to your readers. One vas made by the
lord chancellor at his chambers yesderday, in rcf-
ference to a grand-daughter of the late Judge
Jay, of New York, a girl of ten years old, who
was clandestinely brought to this country some
months ago by a sister of her father, who was an
Englishman, naturalized in the United States,
The father aud mother are both dead, leaving
property to the child, which came by the moth'
er, to the amonnt of some $X0,000. Upon the
father's decease, the surrogate of New York ap
pointed Miss Jay her guardian, but the sister of
the father, with whom the child was then stay'
ing, having a partiality for her own country, sur-
reptiou&ly stole away with the girl and brought
her here. Miss Jay followed, and has carried
the matter with laudable perseverance from
court to court until she yesterday obtained the
decision of the chancellor. This decision de
serves to be republished from tlje Times in every
paper in America. It is the best illustration in
existence of what you once styled "an arrogance
exactly British." Though the father had long
resided in the United States, though he was a
naturalized citizen, though he .had absolved him
self by oath from all allegiance to Great Britain,
the lord chancellor asserts that he was a Brit-
is.h subject. Though the child was born ci a
naturalized American father and of a native A
lnerican mother, in the United States, though
the property she inherits all came from the mo
ther, and is in the United States, yet the lord
chancellor claims her as a British subject, re
fuses to allow her to return to the United Slates
with Miss Jay, her aunt, and directs Miss Jay
to pay the interest of the child's property, as it
shall accrue, into court here, to pay the expen
ses of the proceedings and for tho child's benefit.
So much for tho rights of American citizen
ship!
LIED
At his residence, in this borough, on Friday
the 21st inst., Mr. Ahthlb Noble, in the Otb
vear of his age.
How truly it has been said that " in the midst
of life wc are in death." But a short time since,
and Mr. Noble bid fair to live as long as the most
vigorous could wish. Gifted with a strong consti,
tution and cheerful mind, conjoined with habits of
industry, his health was apparently'good. Never
theless, death, before whom all mustbow, laid his
icy hand upon him, and he sank under aprotrac
ted disease, which he bore with much christian
fortitude and resignation. In his death our town
has lost a useful and industrious citizen, and his
numerous acquaintances mcurn lor me ios oi a
warm hc&rted and sincere fiiend. Possessing an
ardent temporament, he was devotedly attached
to his friends and relatives: and as a son, brother,
husband, and father, discharged his duties with
fidelity. At the call of his country he enrolled
himself and did active service in' tlie Mexican
War, upon the termination of which, he took up
his residence amongst us. The csteem'in which
he was held, was evinced by the long train of
l.ic: friond nd nf-ifrhhors that accompanied his
accompaniei
remains to tneir lasi resting piace on tne ioiiow
ing day, and also by the largo display of the
Sons of Temperance," and " Independent Or
der of Odd Fellows," at the funeral, of both of
which societies he was an active and efficient-
member.
" Here rests his head upon the lap of earth.
A youth to Fortune and to tame unknown ;
Fair science frowned not on his humble birth,
And melancholy marked him for her own.
Large was his' bounty, and his soul sincere.
Heaven did a recompense as largely send ;
He jjave to Misery all be had, a tear.
He gained from Heaven ( twas all lie wisheu;
a friend.
No farther seek his merits to disclose,
Or draw his frailties from their dread abode.
(There they alike in trembling hope repose,)
llie bosom ot his Jratner and tus liod.
At his residence in Allegheny township, on the
20th April, ir.st,, John Coons, in the 92dyear
of his age.
The deceased was among the first settlers of
Allegheny township. lie came to reside there
in the year IcUo, lormed nimself a home in the
wilderness, and continued to reside ou the same
farm up to the lime of his death. He had elev
en children, eighty-five grand children and thirty
great grand children. He was a devoted mem
ber of the Catholic Church, an lioncst upright
man and a good citizen ; enjoying iu an eminent
degree the good will and esteem of his neigh
bors. May he rest in peace.
