From the Baltimore Republican. The Fashion of the day, says the Hartford Democrat, is for every Abolition and every Know-Nothing paper, big and little, to abuse President Pieree and his administration ; and what he is abused for we are at a less to con jecture, unless it is that he will not counte nance Abolitionism, and has not takan tho oaths and been initiated in the grips, pass words and other mysteries of .the secret order. It is admitted that the coutitry is more pros perous than at any former period. Our for eign affairs have been conducted with wisdom, skill and success. -We-bavcno difficulty with any foreign power except England, and the dispute? there grows out of the wording of a treaty made by Mr. Clayton while the Whigs were in rower, and President Pierce cannot be responsible for the blunders of that treaty; if there be any blunders in it Now, we ask the Know-Nothing cavillers and croakers to sjiecify one act of his adminis tration that deserves censure, and if no speci fication can be made we object to abuse in the lump. The general character of his administration is to be judge 1 of by its effects on the prosper ity of the country, and wLen judged cf by this standard it has been excellent, and noth ing can be said against the administration in reference to its results on the prosperity of the nation. In this view the President has been eminently successful. Then, we ask again, what is it the opposition complain of? His messages contain sound constitutional doctrine, none but the enemies to the perpetuity of the Union can qusrrtl with his political opinions. If then his administration has been beneficial to the country, and he stands manfully on the principles of the Constitution, what is the ground of complaint? Ilis opponents ought to specify -their charges, or acknowledge themselves disappointed croakers. Crave of Madison-. A bill has Iven re ported in the Senate of Virginia providing for the erection of a plain tomb of granite or mar ble over the grave of James Madison. It is a somewhat singular and mortifying fact, that up to this time no stone has marked the place wliere rests the immortal remains of this ill us -irious man. Should the tomb be erected it will bear the following inscription : "James Madison, born March 5, 1751, (O. S.) died 2Sth June, 1830. -Virginia marks with sin cere affection the grave of her son, the author of the federal .coTistitutioo, th patriot si.d elatcehcaa. . there has never been & greater ar tre epem tancocs nprising of tba oonBervative latcreet of a country in behalf of anj candidate spo ken of for the Presidency, than there now ia in Pennsylvania and throughout the Union, for James Bcchaxax. The troubled feign? at home and abroad, point him out us the great Statesman who, can .bring peaoe and safety to every icterestf our country. "No hasty impulses would Lad him into error ho imperfect views of National affairs cloud his ripened judgement. These facts are felt by the whole people, hence, the conserva tive portion fly to his nomination as to an only ark of safety. The neutral papers of this State are almost an unit in his favor, while many of the leading Whig organs, which are now deprived of a party, speak of him ad the leading Statesman of the age'. No candidate mentioned would be able to present such an array of strength in a contest before the peo ple, as could Mr. Uuciianax.

Izard to the people of Nebraska gives a yery gratifying aeeouut of public aud private prospeaity in the territary. iivery branch of industry has received and continues to receive a liberal reward, ami the inhabitants are prosperous and happy in a de gree heretofore unexampled in the history of the settlement and organization of former ter ritories. Business of every kind is in a heal thy condition, prosperous and populous towes aud eities are springing up as by magic, all along the eastern border, and at favorable points to the westward; and the beautiful and fertile prairies, are fast being converted into productive fields, giving good promise of a rich rewaad to the toiling husbandman . Spea king of this glowing picture, tho Michigan' State Jvvrnul says : " Iu view of the fact, that the Nebraskians are wisely and judiciously cxercisiug their pe rogativc of making their own laws, we submit whether it would not indicate good struse for all outsiders to mind their own business and let the Nebraskians attend to their own. They ein eminently capable of self-government. Popular sovereignty is achieving its genuine fraits in Nebraska. If the outrages in Kansas are the fruit?-of the Nebraska bill, it is very wonderful that directly opposite results should flow from the same cause in Nebraska The destiny pf Nebraska is in the bands of her people is this right or wrong."

Gov- eruor Bigler, recently elected United Stntes Senator from Pennsylvauia, began life as a poor boy, and swerved an apprenticeship to the printing business. He afterwards commenced a paper in Clearfield county, removiug there with all his earthly possessions viz: a horse and wagon, some type, and a printing press With these he started out in the wilderness to seek his fortune. Having started his paper, he employed himself alternately in setting type, writing articles, and cutting down tim ber. 3Ir. Bigler was soon selected by his fellow citizens as a fitting person to lepresent them in the State Legislature. After serving several years in the State House of Represen tatives, be was elected to the State Senate two different terms. lie was also elected presiding officer of that body. In 1851 Mr. Biglar was nominated by the Democratic party as their standard bearer and candidate for Governor, to which office he was elected over Gov. Johnston. At the expiratiou of his term, 1854, he was unanimously renomi nated, "but, owing to the combination of the Whig, Free-Soil and Know-Nothing parties, under the general came of Fusion, he was defeated. During the present , term of the Legislature he was elected United States Sen ator, and has taken his seat in Congress. If not mistaken, we believe be is a brother of Governor Bigle-r, cf Oaliforcia.

Uackftlew'a resolution in the State Scn--ate, prcpoeing amendments to the Constitu tion of tha Co oi m on wealth, contain the fol lowing artitle relating to tt county pro jcets t . , ' ' ' AETTCLS XXI, 07 5EW COTXTTJC3. No county shall be divided by a line cut ting cfT over one-tenth of 'its population, (ei ther to form a new county or otherwise.) with out the express assent of suoh county, by a vote of the electors thereof. Discussing this article in the Senate, Mr. Buckalew, after enumerating various provis ions of a similar character ia the Constitutions of other States, says : That there are good reasoBs for following in the path thus traced out for us, I shall at tempt to establish. The argument is two-fiold : jirt from the nature and effects of - new county questions in the localities where they arise; aud second from thoir influence on the action of the Lei?- islatare. Clearly, a new county question 13 one of disturbance where it exisis, and 'produces there great mischiefs during its continuance. So true is this, that more than one e-ounry lias been 'created to re-establish peace and con cord, and in all cases that object is made a leading argument for yielding up objection. Convulsion in a community is ereated by a division question, and then its existence is argued to justify the measure that has caused it! In this way, pertinacity and violence are made to supply the place ot" reasou, and the fact of their existence, to carry the object ot those who are responsible for them. Such questions disturb party action iu a manne r the most objectionable and pciniciou jThey are the aids of lactiou and of desperate men, -nd ioge t con. . inati- us fatal alue t priuciple and honor.

"ti .... j - i - -. i I Their effect upon legislation is evil and in jurious in a hiijh ele'gree. Ao other subject, that of corporations alone excepted, is produc tive of worse results upon the action cf the two Houses. A member of either House with a contested loci 1 question to carry is abc-orbed by it, and his services, to a great extent, lost upou the general business of the session. Not only so he acts under duress through out, lie must step tenderly, sp;;ak with ba ted breath, ami give votes upon principles of accommoiali m or compact which he would not otherwise do. The sama observations describe the position of a member cmductin the opposition to such measure. He must be ' equally e-nterpri ing and subservient to couu- . 1 J. . 1 , - .- 1 teract his. opponent and vindicate himself at home, and thus the question exert a double influence for evil upon the Houses. New counties multiply offices an 1 increase public cxpenditure-s; and the object of many ia suppo'ting them always is to wield or re ceive the patronage they create by causing the streams of disbursement to go forth from new points and Sow m uuaeeustomed channels. This object inspires effort by enlisting cupidi ty and ambitiou ; but it deserves neither en couragement nor respect. Another objection is connected with the administration of justice. The impartial ap plication tif the laws to disputes between moi viduals and the punishment of offene-es, is not j onlv a dufv of novtrnment. but ranks ainonirst nong.'t jurors its most important functions. Now, jurors i He wiU not return to Washington unless news drawn from a small territory are likely to par- frm Europe .sh- uid cba:ige the aspect of an ticipate in the passions which important civil fairs with England so as t make ju. ther ic controveisies and criminal questions inspire, I -ti uctions necessary. Out relations with and will come to their decisions with prcjudi- j Great Britain are considered as very cfitiva! cus aud predilections destructive to impartial- . ..... ity and justice.

Th? e.aoa doctrine of trial by a jury of the vicinage, has been very severe at ;h o ppt r mines oa which is rc-coguized iu prosecutions by our j Lake Sup; rl r A loiter from Eagle Jiirei constitution, was -well conceived for the pro- j to the Cl-eaveland lb rai l, savs thit iu ihr tection of the weak against the oppression of the powerful, as it enlisted local attachments on the side of the former and facilitated thc labors of defonco ; but it is of less importance with us, and we find that justice is most sure ly attained when trials take place before those who have little or no connection with or knowl edge of the parties. The vicinage is the coun ty, aud the county should be extensive enough to secure jurors who stand free from impres- , p -. c i.i .i - 1 sions of enmity or friendship that may swerve them from a faithful performance 01 duty, whether the issue be civil or criminal. Upon the whole, when the argumcut of convenience comes to be confronted with the objections agaiust new counties, the cases where - they should be created, will be found exceedingly rare and exceptional. It is to bo considered, that this question is a very different one from what it was fifty or a hundred years ago, when large districts of the State were unsettled, and apparent reason existed for the power of creating new divis ions of territory as the tide of population spread over the iuterior. But, we have now over sixty counties, and the small size of those most recently erected tends powerfully to prove the absence of necessity for a further in crease. The question is also changed by the establishment of raihoads and other improved modes of communication, which bring places formerly remote from each other juto contigu ity, and greatly reduce the time and expense of journeys to county towns, as Well as abroad.
