Tbe Governor and the Banks-
The wills to incorporate the Donegal Deposit
Bank to be located at Marietta, Lancaster Co ;
the Cetisquesique Bauk in Lehigh county ; the
Farmers' Deposite Bank of Lehigh county : and
she Mount Pleasant Savings Bank, have all been
retold by the Governor.
1: is pleasing to every democratic patriot to
ue'icsiii ail our Executive officers, the signs of
vi.ality of those sterling principles which the
r.et lights of our party kindled and transmit
ted. And tbe Democracy of the Old Keystone
State bail wuh gratifying emotions the manifes
tations of tho- principles, as occasion requires
them, in her pure inflexible son. Governor Big-
ler. He has been fitly chosen as the exponent cf
crthodcT rtpuiliean sentiments, and his regular
cniietecy is. exemplified in each of his succes
sive sets. Al! the deep laid schemes and wiley
devices of Whig cunning have been elaborated to
c ateiigle and turmoil him, in order to cripple
i .3 march to another triumphant election, bat
he "es each ordeal unscathed, and comes
fen.:, l.t oH doubly refined.
The veto message sealing the fate of the above
L: is, embodies the doctrine of the democracy in
a f-.-w short paragraphs. The insolence, to say
aching of the injustice and inequality of right,
it-i-Jieu in the franchises sought to be ob
tained by those companies, is unblushing. It
proposes that the public shall give a monopoly
of right to a creation of the law-making power,
L5 which, they, the corporation, shall obtain
' private gains, without any adequate liabil
ity. It asks for corporate privileges, a conve
nient cloak by whih the people may be lured
into confidence , and which, when the stockhold
ers see fit to disrolve in bankruptcy and their
creditors Seek indemnity, Is found to be as bodi
less as the raiment of a ghost.
Why an institution with honest intentions,
which asks a the foundation of its success the
''-teat amount of public faith, shotld frighten
aod demur when asked to link a personal liabil
ity cf its individuals, as a consideration tor their
privileges and advantages, is more than we have
ever been able to discover.
In the midst of the untiring efforts of the op
position to regain their former position on the
Bank question, we sometimes are almost led to
sua pet the watchfulness of' our party, until
one act of Jacksonian grit, as this veto of the
Governor's reassures us. When will the day
c me that Banking shall stand upon its just
aud proper basis f When will Legislatures cease
to misrepresent the wishes of their constituents
and, either from reasons of gain, er reasons cf
private policy, or no reasons at all. but down
right stupidity aad neglect of duty, foitt upon
the Executive the onus of annihilation to such
tills

Ccae, children of men, cease your troubled
plaints, iou have had winter, until each frosty
morning heard your cry with Coleridge.
"And the spring comes slowly up this way,"
but it is passed hcre.is the bright springtime in
unmistakable chiracter the 6eed time, and the
harvest will soon follow ah ! lilo thus quits us.
Come forth and enjoy, morn is up and a
broad ere j our unwilling cjlids have been unseal
ed. Hark ! The Martin chatters above tho win
dow, the Swallow like tho miniature Alabatross
of the plain, dashes in graceful haste, ami speaks
its twittering alarm to the insect warms, while
the .Robin , sweetest of birds, has resumed his
perch upon the apple bough aud pours tLc ful
volums of his notes in richest music to your
waking ear.l
All that makes earth like paradise regained is
now an exhibition in nature's lovely palace.
Field and forest sre clad in purest green, tree
and shrub have on their scented liverriis,
day is redolent with balm and night, with her
thousand stars is distilling dews, that shine
in morning's sun, like tearofjoy through smiles.
Who has not felt and noticed the influence of
this glorious time? The aged come forth from
their chronic retreats to breathe the air and feci
the warmth that so much invigorates. Manhood
is active and diligent in various pursuits. Youths
and maidens, gushing with the ardor of early life,
yearn with big hearts to mingle sympathies, and
Venus and Cupid find votaries rivalling in num
bers the conversions of Pentecost.
In these green days.
Reviving sickness lifts her languid head ;
Life flows afresh : and young-eyed health exalts
The whole creation round."
Happy for man that such inspiring moons re
turn to him. The most sordid are relaxed, the
most care-worn refreshed.the most impious must
only adore their God. This is the time to re
new life. Winter, like the ocean, has buried our
spleen, our heart.aches, our memories of mean
ness, of unkindness, of falsehood, of disgust.
We rise with the vigor of the greenwood oak we
walk with the lithesome tread of angels we
come forth like happy souls from a resurrection.
Who cannot be gay in Spring-time ? Who can
not rejoice with unmarred delight with surround
ing creation !
4 Oh mark the Spring as she hies along.
With her eye of light and her lip of song,
While she steals in peace o'er the green earth's
breast,
While the streams spring out from their icy rest.
The buds bend low to the breeze's sigh,
And their breath goes forth in the scented sky :
And the fields look fresh in their sweet repose,
And the young dews drop on the newborn rose."
The Legislature.
This bodv has adjourned after a session of
much importance to the people of the state.
The passage of the bill for the sale of the main
line of the public public works; the new school
law, and the liquor law, are amongst the most
important enacments.
The last two are of undoubted popularity and
if properly carried into operation, must result in
the general good.
The Lew liquor Law has been approved by
the Governor, and seems to contain ample pro
visions for restricting the rum-traffic within its
proper limits. Minors, persons of intemperate
habits, and persons intoxicated, are provided for
in a manner calculated to put the vendors of
spirits on their good behavior, on pain of fine,
imprisonment, revocation of license and pecuni
ary compensation in damages for injuries to per
son and property from drink.
The School Law is a beautiful system and cal
culated to raise our Common Schools to an ele
vated and glorious perfection. The working of
the old law has been of incalculable benefit to
the rial.. feneration, and the new statute puts
Ia covp dc ras upon the plan as heretofore.
Sect. 30. Provides that the School Directors
of the several counties of the Commonwealth
shall meet in Convention at the scat of justice of
the proper county, on the first .Monday of June
next, and on the first Monday of May in each
third year thereafter, and select viva voce, by a
majority of the whole number of directors pres
ent, one person of literary and scientific acquire
ments, and of skill and experience in the art of
teaching, as County Superintendent for three
succeeding school years, and the School Direct
ors, or a majority of them, in Convention, shall
determine the amount of compensation for the
County Superintendent, Jcc.
Dr. D. S. Hutchison Surgeon Dentist and Man
ufacturer of Mineral Teeth, will remain in this
place for one week, ond hereafter will return

We take pleasure in recommending the Dr., to
our citizens as a master hand at his business.
Faib Notice. We have went to considerable
trouble and pains in making our garden, and
not being as well ofTas some of our neighbors in
the poultry line, we are determined to borrow
cf our good neighbor, 'Munster' (who has wisely
cooped his poultry, ) his old fusse, and pop over
all cnickens tbat, invade our garden, and fur
ther we will not throw them them over the fence,
put throw them into the the pot.
A Prohibitory Liqnor Law.
This law has passed both branches of the Leg
islature, and received the signature of Governor
Bigler. It prevents, after the passage, any per
son from selling beer, ale, porter, or other malt
liquor, without a license from the Court, the
same as tavern licenses are obtained. It pro-
tubits persons obtaining a license to sell spiritu
ous liquors by the quart, or otherwise, unless
persons so applying shall be retailers of foreign
or domestic goods, wares and merchandise, en
titled to be classed equal to the 14th class, and
have been thus classed by the Mercantile Ap
praiser. Persons violating this law, are made
subject to penalties as those against the keepers
of unlicensed and tippling houses. This act docs
not apply to the brewers of malt liquors, or to
the manufacturers or reGners of spirituous li
quors for wholesale purposes. The law went into
effect immediately after the Governor signed it.

Interesting Correspondence.
The following correspondence between a num
ber of Democrats of this County, who desire to
convey to the gentlemen addressed some testi
monial of regard and esteem for their valuable
services during the late session of the Slate Leg
islature, exhibits a gratifying evidence of the
wcrth and respect due to those who have perfor
med their public dutkc wclll and faithfully.
In the Senate, Col. Creswell, althonuh a new
member, discharged the trust confided in him
with an ability that would do honor to a veteran

sistent, democratic action, and attention to the
interests of his constituents. As Cletk of the

inentary fate will be given to the gentlemen
named, notice of which we will publish so scon
as the day is designated. The names of the in

brilliant one. The Newry Brass Band has been
secured by Capt. White of the Rifles, and Capt.
Ivory hopes to have in attendance Cargo's cele
brated Band from Pittsburg. Consequently,
there will be abundance cf sweet rnd souV
stirring music to delight us. Invitations have

toe," until a seasonable hour.
During the day and evening, Messrs. Ivory &
Son, will sell at Auction, the balance of their
stock of merchandise, thus affording an oppcr
tunity to all present to purchase goods at low
prices, thereby making expenses. The pro'
gramme for the day is a good one, and rain or
shine the attractions must draw a crowd. Let
all who can go to the parade. It will be a great
day on the Summit.

Singular Piiexomeva. After a day or two
of mild warm weather, on Thursday afterncon

Turkish fortifications. In one of the Russian re
gimer: every man was killed. Two battalions
next engaged, and were nearly destroyed, and it
was necessary to send fifteen battalions to carry
the entrenchments. The Turks held their posi
tion for forty-eight hours under the fire of Rus

The Constantinople correspondent of the Dai

To protect Prussian and German interests an

tween Austria and Prussia, on cne part, and the
Western Powers on the other, the basis of that
community being the conference of Vienna.
Prussia, however, believing that Russia's con
duct has recently been more conciliatory, will
persevere in efforts to effect an arrangement by

Too Possible. The New York Day Book in
an article on the acquittal of Mat. Ward, sup
poses that ' if these culprits should go to Mrs.
Butler's house and cut her throat, tear the infant

The Norristown Railroad. The rumor
mentioned relative to the Pennsylvania Railroad
having become possessed of a sutiicient amount
of the stock of the Nonistown Railroad to exert
a controlling influence in its management, is con
firmed. It is now conndeutly asserted that the
arrangement has been actually' completed and
that it is considered highly advantageous to the
Pennsylvania Company. The new railroad fioin
Harris burg to Lebanon is being speedily prosecu
ted to completion. If the Pennsylvania Com
pany should obtain possession, in a similar man
ner, cf the Chester Valley Railroad to Downing
town, it would be necessary to construct a new
roud, only f rty miles in length, from Downing
town to Lt bnuan, to give to that company an
en'irely independent and shorter route from Har

the price asked for the Columbia road. Ledger.

Mason and Dixon's Line. "What is meant
by Masoi. and Dixon's line," asked a bright,
b'.ue-eyed girl of twelve years of age, when sit
ting at her father's table, a few days ago. The
answer was, " It is a phrase usually employed to
describe the boundary between the free and slave
States." " But why do thej' describe it in that
way ?" was her inquiry. The answer may be
worth giving to some of our readers. In the
seventeenth century, James II. of Englaud,
then the Duke of York, gave certain lands to
Lord Baltimore and to William Pcnn, and a dif
ficulty toon sprang up as to the proper owner of
these lands on the .Delaware. Again and again
wes the affair carried into the courts, till in the
year 1700, when George III, came to the crown,
the Lord Chancellor of England made a decision ;
but now difficulties sprang up it drawing the
boundary Hues. The Commissioners finally em
ployed Messrs. Mason and Dixon, who had just
returned from the Capu of Good Hope, where
they had been to observe the transit of Venus.
They succeeded in establishing the line between
Delaware and Maryland, which has ever since
been called " Mason and Dixon's line. Watch
