A the Rev. Mr. Boeld a cler gyman of the B-medictiue order near Carrollton, was. riding on horseback from Loreito to his home, his horse' ran -off, and eventually fell down, throw ing off the Reverend gentleman, and injuring him so frtdly that he survived hut a few hours. The deceased was au officiating clergyman at Carroll ton, and was distinguished for his true piety, charity, and amiable disposition. -; Inring's life of Washington. The life of Washington by Washington Irving will shortly make its" appearance, and will be comprised iu three volumes. The first volume has just been published in New York, au iuteres tiag extract from' which descriptive of the battle of Bunker Hill, we publish on the first page of our paper.' -.-. ; ' . .. . , - . r The task of writing the life of him who " was first in war, first in peace, ami first in the hearts of hU countrymen," could not have been coniniit tod to worthier hands. The graceful flow aod hannordous coloring of Mr. IrVing's style,' the clearness and pictnresqueness of his narrative, his & knowtedgeof the world and" of mankind, and Lis vein of quiet humor, make him the most dc-light-ful of biographers. ' t . . -. ; .- . .,'., ' The first sceue of the war of the American Rev-! olution the battle of Banker Hillis portrayed with vivid distinctness and minuteness ; and al though eighty years have passed away since that eventful drama took phtce, the perusal of a!l the events attending it, cannot fail to indelibly im press npon the mind of every American as one of the most memorable days in our history, the I th .of June 1775. " . ' . ; ' : ' '' Necessity of Early Organization ; In the course of human events," the people should begin to bestir themselves iu the matter of . the political affairs of this county. The time is fast approaching when the people will be called , on at their pimiay elections, to select those who ! shou'd represent them in the County Convention to make nominatioBS. These nominees should be selected this year, with the utmost care and reflec tion, fr the good of the whole party. Westmore land has set us an example worthy of our imita tion ; she has put forth the best men, true and tried, men of honesty, ability and eidarged expe rience. Ljt us then, imitate her example, and so far iu our power, nominate our bost men, men who have never bowed the knee to Baal," nor cried out great is the Diana of the Ephesians," when this new mysterious party sprung up in our midst. This new party has every characteristic of the inhabitants of Pandemonium ;' they love the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds re evil." Mysterious and seductive as it has b-jen to the dodgers of our party, it is not to be wondered at, that a good many kuaves, bigots, and fols, dropped into it from our ranks. It therefore required men of integrity and patriotism to keep aloof from the delusion. That secret con clave, we think has seen its best days, and as rats . th-sert a sinking ship, so do sundry rats of this or der desert it. Their power is however fcy no means to be underrated, it will require every true friend of the country, and , its constitution, to be at his post, and prepared to do his duty, and pre serve the country from the blighting curse of ter minating the glorious Republic of George Wash ington nnd commencing that of the infamous Ned Runtime. Of this secret conclave we know noth ing, except from observation, and yet they are in uf midst ; we know it from their actions and ther conduct, and are as well satisfied who they are, as if we participated in their councils. They will swear they do not belong to the orthr, with the most solemn asseverations. We do not wonder at this, familiarized as they are, with lying and mo ral perjury. -The first oalh they take, they swear not to ttll the truth, and frera their frequent com panionship, and practice in this matter, they care ab-jut as macbXo a fake oath, as. a veteran pros titute docs about her chastity. Hence the neces sity of care and vigilance in the selection of men whom we wish to represent us in thencxt legisla ture They should be men, whom it would be ut terly impossible could fever belong to that party for any consideration, or could ever by word or work assist any of its adhereuts to political pre . ferment.. Our Sheriff and Commissioner should he selected with thu view to their hostility to that order. - It would be a voful disaster to the citizens wf this, comity,, to have a selection made for these oftuxc, ol ratix wltovotid disregard the obligation of an onth, which the numbers of thus, order im tjttestiitnaldy i!b eai-Jt scLttfc Jurors who were brethren of,' the my.Hc ticUi try the rights of property, an 1 the personal rights of their uoiglt lxrfv Justice would then xn become an. obsolete i lea, an .1 trial by Jury a slier mockery.. ludvvtl it has already been hiutcsl by those .who seem to kno, that the members of this new fledged par ty, do now carry their fraternal predileetioiu; into tha-jury box, the witness stand, end the board of arbitrator. 1 fence, there never --vas a- rime since the institution of mr govetPBiesi, tha4 it behooveti the people te lok to their ovrn interests .more than at the present time.

The contrary is the fact. Nations, are like individuals ; republican when poor, ."aristocratic when rich . This party Xeius to despise, the republican simplicity of their ances tors.

' - - -- - ."..--;---: lliey raise a hne and cry about ' the distinction of birth and religion, and gull their entrapped dupes, by calling themselves the" American par ty," and telling them "Americans should rule America." So say we : when did Americans cease to rule America ? When have the United States, or cither of the States, bl-en ruled hy any other but Americans, or when was it likely to be so ? Was'not Carnill of Carroll tou as good an Ameri can as Benedict Arnold ? Was not . Alexander Hamilton as good an American as Aaron Burr? and was not Andrew Jackson as good an Ameri can as John Adams 1 If either of these persons were living now, the members of this oath-bound conclave could not vote for them. ' Carroll of Car rollton was a Catholic, Alexander Hamilton wa3 a foreigner by birth, and Andrew Jackson's des cent was too immediately foreign, and that from the moat despised of all foreigners, the Irish, So that they wonld all come under the ban of these proscriptionists. j Still the thinking portion of the community know that the first ol these patriots, pledged his life, his ample fortune, and his sacred honor, for Americans to rule America, the second by his talents contributed to give us a Constitution hy which Americans would rule America, and the tliird showed us the ways and means by which Americans could rule America. It is therefore time for us to look to the importance of the mat ter, and see that true Americans, and true friends to the Constitution should rule America. -. ; Kative American Convention.' s The Native Americans or Know-Nothings in favor of ojit-n organization, held a State Conven tion at Harrisburg, on the 7th inst., and nomina ted Kimber Cleaver, Esq., of Northumberland county, for Canal Commissioner.' 'This gentleman has been the standing candidate of the Native Americans foi several years past,"and we do not think that his chances are any better now than they have been heretofore. The Convention seems' to have been a small affair, sixteen counties only being represented by Otirfy-aecen delegates, who appear to have regulated matters for the whole State, After passing sundry resolutions defining their political creeds they recommended that a National Convention of the party should be held at the city of Wilmington, Delaware, on the 22d day of February, 1856, for the purpose of nomi nating a candidate for President. : A resolution was offered recommending Com modore Stockton for the Presidency, hat this was subsequently withdrawn. Delegates were then chosen to represent Pennsylvania in the National Convention, among whom we find GEor.GES. Ktxs, as the delegate from this Congressional District. -After the transaction of some further business of little importance, this great State Convention adjourned, but whether they, or the other branch of the party the " Nix Weisers" will obtain the chief direction of affairs in the wigwam jr council chamber, must be left to time to determine. We shall calmly await the result, without caring which whips, as the principles of both factions are the same, and evince the same feelings of hostility, and intolerance towards all who do not happen to belong to ibis new fimgled order. Sale of the Transportation Lines. A rumor has been prevalent for some time past that the Pennsylvania Rail Road company had purchased the stock of the transporters npon the Main line of the State improvements, ' which if effected would net fail to prove disastrous to the interests of the people, Iu alluding to it the last Hollidayshurg Rsgister says : " We have con tradictory reports in regard to the sale of the stock of the Forwarding Companies on the Main Line of our State Improvements, and ae aot able to say whether ihe sale has been consummated or not.

Certain it is tliat the Penn'a, Railroad Com pany has proposed to buy out these lines and wherefore? Has their road not the capacity to elo all the business that its managers can secure for it ? Have they ant already stock enough to carry every pound of freight they can obtain for transportation upon it ? What can they want but to break down business on the State works, render them apparently valueless, bny them at a song, and thereby secure a monopofy of the trans porting business between Philadelphia and Pitts burg, and then charge extortionate prices, if they please ? What else, we ask, can be the object of this grasping, soulless cvershaddowing corpora tion in buying, or seeking so buy out the For warding Lines, which now are wholesome rivals to it? ; : . . : y. v : Will not the people and the presf, consider this matter?

Villainous. . . ; - : For a month past some scoundrel has been amusing himself by endeavoi ing to destroy the locomotive belonging to the State, employed on the Port;ige Rail Road. Every one used on this end . of the road has been more or less operated upon, and some of them severely injured. On one occasion, a bolt was thrown into the steam chest of one of therh,' which broke a valve, and disabled it. 'At another time sand was pot into holes where oil is usually put. Another engine was severely crippled by stopping up the oil cups with cotton. . The last one injured had a large quantity of iron and steel filings placed in the steam chest, . which iujured it to such an extent that it will require at least a week to repair it. Those rascally acts of wanton destruction of pub lie property, it is supposed were committed in the open fitce of day, as a strict night watch has been kept, and no means left untried to detect the ras cal. ' - " .We are at a loss to account for a motive that would prompt any person ta commit such au out rage. , 1 lie destruction or State property would be poor revenge for any real or fancied injury re- :eived from any person employed on the road - nevertheless it shows that the operator has ideas of his ownsuch as must evcnhia'ly bring him to reflection in the cell of a penitentiary.

That to free-born American citi zer, there is something revolting in the idea thaf men are to be ostracised and degraded on account of their religious opinions, and that, too; at the biding of the leaders of a secret, oahH-bound political party, whose sole object is to delude and deceive the masses, so that they, themselves, may reach, places of profit and trust to which they are not entitled either socially, morally, or politically. . . 4 Jlesolced, That, to use the language of Mr. JeflerBon, " our civil rights have no depen dence on our religious opinions, more than our opinions in physics and geometry. ; To proscribe any citizen as unworthy the public confidence, by laying upon him an incapacity of being called to offices of trust and emolu ment unless he profess or renounce this or that religious opinion, is depriving hin injuriously of those privileges and advantage . to which, in eomruoi with his fellow-citizens, he has a natural, indefeasible right.

Fourth, That we invoke the arm of legisla tion to arrest that growing evil, the deporta tion, by foreign authorities, of paupers and convicts to our shores; aud that as our Na tional Constitution requires the Chief Execu tive of our country to be of native biith, we deem it equally necessary and important that our diplomatic representatives abroad should also possess no foreign prejudices to bias their judgment, or to influence their official action. - I approve of the above addiDg no more slave States, no more slave territory ' ' . . , BcsuTEL White. - The States that seeeeded are thus enumer ated, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, llliuoia, Mas sachusetts; New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Iowa, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Wis consin.

It appears that orders from Santa Anna were received to ar rest and shoot without ceremony, some of the leading citizens of Monterey and Lampasas among them Don Santiago Vidouri, late Sec retary of Stae of Nenva Leon, a man of great influence. The existence of these private orders leaked out, and! Loa Santiago Vidouri despatched a courier to Lampasas with the news, and when Genl Manchaca, Santa An na's emissary arrived, he was met by two hundred armed citizens forced to surrender. His life was spared in consequence of the manly position Be assumed, acknowledging that his orders were to shoot some eight of the leading citizens of Lampasas, and that, had he the ability,' the orders of bis superiors would be implicitly obeyed, ne did not ask his life, as his superiors would not believe but that he had sold his command.'

" I never see one of your color where I am, and have rarely met with a colored person since I left the shores of America ; but I have witness -ed misery and distress such as you know nothing of. In England, where so much concern has been expressed for the colored people of pur country, ther is much, human suffering... I pass ed through large manufacturing town where tho houses seemed almost piled upon each other, crowded in dark lanes and alleys, half under ground like so many dungeons, with no pure air, the light of heavens shot oat of their damp com-' fortless dwellings. I compared in my own mind, thee wretched dwellings with tL cottages which are famished on the plantations for the homes of servants, and the thought arose how touch better off are the colored people of America than those poor families with whom it is all work, work, little children and all, with no hope of any improvement in their condition, no kind word from master or mistress ; if they are skk and unable to be in the'r places, to commit any fault, they are liable to be turned off, then they may starve, for no man will employ a workman who has been turned away by another master. Then are more workmen than places to fill. In the mining and coal districts, the condition of tlm working people is still wors than in the rcanu facturwig towns; here children are lorn under ground, pass their lives, and diti in old ,e, with out ever having seen the glorious sun or moon which the good Gd made for his creatures, .In France, Switzerland, and in Austria, f have seen the fields cover! with women plough ing, getting out or sprea ling manure, digging or ditching, working" on railroad, and carrying loads of dirt or manure on thoir beads in l.spt or baskets. They are so sun-burnt as often to l-C blacker Ulud many ce-Iored persons, wrinkle! and sad looking, as if they bad grown old before their tim and had never a happy feeling. The mis erable hovels are wually Rnmrinded with mut and filth, with a nr a cow bef.re the div.r. the barn and hous are mostly together, scarcely a slight partition dividing them. When the ioor women have finished their hard day' work, (and thin-1 tbfrvfcd was pfoloogtid ti!dark) they pick up their children and go to their comf.trtlew homes. These people do not owu the land they work upon, and may be turned away when a" new marti-r comes. . , " In witness:ng the poverty and wretchedness of these lanls, T think of our own country, and the many comf rts enjoyed by all. Even th' poorest are not as miserable as thpy might le. ir A rBEiicnos or tub Presekt War. Thc Rev. John dimming, D.

The Provi--Oence Journal makes a suggestion to the con--' teuding powers, which, if it be not practical, is at least heroic. It ia, that the belligerents-" on each side, instead ef sending armies againt-t each other, shall eaeh throw into the 6ea an-" nually, during the contest, such sums as will probably cover the cost of hostilities, Fay forty or fifty millions 6teling each; and let each party draw annually from all classes from the peasantry in te proportion of the private to an army, and from the nobility and gentry in proportion to the officers as many ' me as will probably perish in the field, atd tumble theminto the sea with treasure, or, if more agreeable, shoot them.
