Mullin, Esq., Revenue Com missioner, will please except our thanks for ft von received. Another Coalition. Our readers will recollect, that in the re fcnt political campaign in this State for State officers and for tho Presidency, the Know Nothings and Black-Republicans combined to defeat tho democratic ticket. They were defeated, "as they deserved to be, by the voice of popular opinion. An effort is now being made in this State, to bring abcut the same coalition, for tho purpose of defeating the democratic ticket at tho next October Election. For that purpose a Staic Convention, of all political elements, opposed to Sir. Buchanan's administration, has been called to Assemble at Harrisburg on the 25th inst. Whether this mil succeed, remains to be Been.' In many portions of tho State, the Know Nothings appear determined to have things in their own way ; whilst in other sections, the Re publicans, believing themselves to be the stronger of the two opposing factions, evince determination cot to unite with the follow ers of Sam, bnt to claim every thing for themselves. David Wilmot, J. K. Moore ' head and Gideon J. Ball, appear just now, to be the most formidable candidates for Gov ernor. There is a settled hostility in the ranks of the opposition to Wilmot, except among the delegates from the Northern por tion of the State. Moorehead is not consid- ' ered competent in other portions of the State . by his K. N. and Republican friends, and Ball is regarded very generally, as a man not fit TO BE PCT IS JiOTIOX. That some disgraceful combination, will bo formed we cannot doubt. For years it has been the policy and practice of the enemies of the democratic party, to attempt to mislead - tho people, by such shallow devices. They never learn anything, aod they never forget anything. "Whenever they have attempted to deceive the people- in this way, they have always been deceived themselves. Wilmot carries tho brand of a political traitor on his forehead, and if nominated, will meet with a traitor's reward. lie was brought iutopolit- ical existence by the democratic party, and -whenever a fit opportunity offers, will be sent by that party, howling, into the dark caverns of Know-Nothingism, or into the still darker regions of Black-Republicanism. Let who will be nominated, ho will find iu (Jen. 1 acker, the democratic candidate, a fo enian worthy of his steel ; a man who can speak eloquently of the faith that is in him; a man who stands upon the came platform with Jamos Buchanan, and whose political ' sentiments will be endorsed by the same cn cnthosiasm, by tha democracy of the glorious old Kev Stone. The United States Senate. The TTnitrd State S j ly on Saturday afternoon. A large portion of tho extra session was consumed in the consid eration and disposition of several important treaties, having a direct and important bearing upon the political and commercial interests of our country. The treaties which, according to the Union, have passed the Senate are as follows : The Dallas-Claredon Treaty, with several important amendments. . An extradi tion treaty with the Grand Duchy of Baden. Also treaties mainly of a commercial charac ter, with Peru, Veneruc-la. and Siam, It is also stated that among the Treaties ratified, was one with Persia. This renders necessary tho establishment of diplomatic relations be tween the United States and the Persian Km. pire, and Mr. John P Brown, Dragoman to Constantinople, has been designated, by ru r.tor, to this mission. 3T In another column, will Le found the details of a heart rending accident, which re cently occurred on a Rail Road in Canada, near Hamilton. -Among the unhappy victims was liamuel Zimmerman, who at one time was a citizen of Ilollidaysburg, and who was well known to a number of citizens of this county Mr. Zimmerman resides at Nigara. where bj his energy ami indostry, be acquired a immense fortune, and at the time of his melancholy death, was regarded as one of its zcH arrive end r ntcrpnring citizens. Kr. Buchanan's Administration. On the 4th inst., the President elect was duly installed into office, and took the same oath which has been administered to all Pres idents, since the inauguration of Gen Wash ington.' We predict, that his administration will be ono of the most popular of all our Pres idents. His entire history as' one of our most distinguished Statesmen ; his known ability and patriotic motives; as manifested through out all his public life, are a safe and sure guarantee, that under his administration, the honor of the country, both at home and abroad, will be carefully protected. As is usual, on tho advent of all new Presidents, one of the most interesting questions" is, what will be his policy in reference to removals from office . We are of that school, who believs that " To the victors belong the spoils." No ad ministration can very long sustain itself, un less ic recognizes that wholesome political doc trine. We do not say that an indiscriminate change of office holdrs should take place; but we do declare, as our settled conviction, that any man who has held an office of Jtonor and profit, for the fout years of Gen. Pierce's ad ministration, ought as a matter of right, to surrender his place, unless the re-appointmcnt of the present incumbent, is asked for by those interested in his continuance in ofEce. We believe that Gen. Washington, when he was President, declared that if a President did not care for his friends, he would be guilty of political 6uicide. We are happy to observe, that from the largelist of new appointments made by Mr. Buchanan, ho appears deter mined to enforce the doctrine to which we have referred. It is both right and proper, and we hope the work wtll go on. It is tho only certain policy by which his administra tion can be sustained. State Legislature. Nothing of importance, has met our notice in looking over the proceedings of the Legis lature, since our last issue. A greal many Bank Bills have passed the Senate, in which body, the opposition have a majority, but we do not believe, that they will meet with any f-yor in the House. If there can be found in thai body, e?a5Q f recreant democrats, to unite with the opposition and pass all these monopolies, we can tell them, that there is a fearful day of reckoning in store for tLcm. A number of local bills, relating to Cambria county have passed the lower House, and if they pass the Senate, we will apprise our readers of the fact. The appropriation bill has been reported by the committee of Ways and Means, and also a bill appropriating Fif teen thousand dollars for the purpose of erect ing a House for the residence of tho Gov- ernor. St. Patrick's Say in Jefferson. We attended Yesterday, the celebration by the Catholic congregation f Jefferson, in this county, of the annivesary of St Patrick, the patron Saint of Ireland At about ten o'clock. a procession was formed and marched under directions of marshalls, to the Catholic Church, where Mass was celebrated, and a sermon eulogistic of the Christian life, and virtues, of the great Saint, who was the first to disclose the immortal hopes of Christianity to the inhabitants of the "Emerald Isle," was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Mullin, form erly of Jefferson, now of Pittsburg. Mr. Mullin in this effort fully sustained his repu tation as a clear, logical and eloquent speaker. The occasion passed off ia an or derly manner, and at the conclusion of De vinc Service all present retired to their homes. More about Lent. We briefly alluded to the fact that the sea so.i of Lent had commenced. The length of this fast is forty days, in remembrance of the forty days fast of tho Redeemer. Its com mencement is regulated with Easter, which according to the Ecclesiastical Calendar, is al ways the first Sunday after the full moon, which happens upon or next after tho vernal equinox 21st of March. That moon fell this year on the 9th of April, and thus the Sunday following, the 12th, is Easterday. From the 25th of February, Easter is just six weeks and four days, (46 days) but, as all Sundays in the year are considered feast days, they are not counted iu the Lenten season, and so from Wednesday until Easter Ere there are just forty common days. The last week of the season has from ancient times been called Passion week, Holy week, or the Great week, from the fact that in it are commemo rated the last great acts in the mission of Christ, his triumphal entrance into Jerusalem, his humiliation and betrayal, tho institution of the Sacrament, his condemnation, crucifix ion, death and burial. State Tkeascher Elected On Wednes day last, Hon. Henry S Magraw was re-elected State Treasurer for one year from the first of April next Mr. Magraw received 68 votes, and his competitor, Jacob Dock, mem ber of the House, 57 votes. Five Americans and Republicans were absent ; and Mr Dock declined voting, as he was a candidate. Left for the West. Howard J. Roberts, J.; Alexander Moore, and Thomas Piper. Important from Kansas! GOVEfiNOtt GEARY KESIQNEd!! At a late hour on Saturday evening, a tel egraphic dispatch passed through this city from Gov. Geary, addressed to President Bu chauan, m which the Governor tenders Lis resignation, to take effect on the 20th inst. I he dispatch had been seat to the telegraphic office at Fort Leavenworth. . The reasons for this movo will probably bo given in a fliW da vs. Utii-n Fatal Accident on the Pennsylvania Railroad. : : -; . V". ," intelligence was received in this city yester day morning of a terrible accident which oc curred about seven' o'clock,: on Wedehsday evening, on the Pennsylvania . Railroad ner Galitzin, between AltoTma and the Tunnel. It appears that an emigrant train coming west bad -passed through the tunnel, and stooped a short distance from its mouth - While urere, a freight train, which was also coming :west; came dashing through the Tunnel, and the engineer being unable to see the signals of' danger, through the smoke, the locomotive ran into the hind car of the emigrant train, which was ; completely demolished. Three emigrant passengers were . almost iustan tly killed, and eleven others were seriously in jured. '. From all we could learn, it would appear that the emigrant train was behind time, and to this cause the accident was attributed Ac cidents of this nature' are of unusual occur- rence on thi well conducted road, and the proper officers on learning of the accident im mediately set about invesjj-atiug the matter. Prompt medical assistance was furnished the wounded, and at last accounts they were get ting along finely. Since the above was written wo have learned that but two were killad instantlv. one of whom was Louisa Bhaeffer, a native of Germany. A man named Matthew Wilkins, who was s' severely crushed as to require am putation of the leg3, died yesterday morniner. The name of the other victim we did not learn, We copy the above from the Pittsburg Post, of March 13th. The accident did not occur, as stated, between Altoona and the Tunnel, but at the West end of the Tunnel. Wej have been informed that the Emigrant Train was almost three Jtours behind time, and that when it reached the West end of the Tunnel, it was permitted to remain on the track upon which it had been running The employees of the Road must have known, that the freight train was due about the time the accident occurred," and .should baveretnoved the Emigrant Train, to the sidefcqg. which would have prevented such a distressing ca tastrophe. "We are informed by P.-: Dough erty, Esq., that he held an inquest on three dead bodies, two males and one female. He also states, that the freight train had two lo comotives attached to it, one in front and one behind, and that it came through the Tunnel "at full speed." If this was so,.- there was culpable negligence. We have not learned tho number of the wounded, nor the extent of their injuries. Wo think it a clear case for the most rigid investigation, so that the blame may rest upon those" who .thus wilfully and negligently imperil human life?. t Wra. A. Stokes, Esq. .Messrs. white & veyiss i Among a number of the Democratic Lawyers of West ern Pennsylvania, the name of this gentle man stands conspicuous for the nomination, to supply Judge Black's placo on the Su preme Bench. - The candidate seems to be conceded to the West. Indeed, it was feared that tho present State ticket, being an entirely Eastern ticket, might be endangered in the Western part of the State from its locality, notwithstanding the entire fitness of the candidates. But now, that a vacancy has occurred, we pre sume the only question will be, what Western man is the most deserving ; who, at the same time can bring to the office the highest legal attainments, and the experience ecessary for thoisupreme Bench. The extensive legal learning of Mr.. Stokes will be conceded wherever he is known. He had been admitted but a short, time till he stood among the foremost at the' Philadel-hia Bar, and in addition to his labors at the bar, his name graces the title page of some of the most practical books now used by the profes sion. But we need not discuss his legal abil ities they are acknowledged and admitted everywhere over the State. Prefcring the country, Mr Stokes many years since removed to the "Star of the West," where he at present resides. The county of his adoption asks his nomination at the hands of the Stata Convention ; and well she may, for among her many noblo and true Demo crats, thero are none nobleror truer than he. And no man within her borders has more fearlessly or more effectually grappled with the dark spirit of Know Nothingism. In Littlo Cambria his nomination would be hailed with delight; and her hardy son3 would delight to cast their suffrages for hlra. His nomination we are satisfied, would be received with universal favor; and his election would add another to tho giant minds, who have given character to our Supreme Court, and rendered its decisions a source pf pride to every true hearted Pcnusylvanian. Cambbia. McKim Arrested. It is positively asserted that McKitn, ne mruerer oi norcross, at Altoona, has been arrested, and now confined in the jail of Co lumbia county in this State. This informa tion comes through dispatches from Col. - A. G.

Revenue. The Board of Revenue of Commia. sioners at Harrisburg, have agreed upon a report, which makes a number of important suggestions affecting the revenues of tho Commonwealth. The following table will show the increase in the returns made by the Commissioners of the several counties of the State, of the assessed valuation of property subject to taxation for State purposes, for the last twelve years, since the establishment of tho Board of Revenue Commissioners.

It had been erected in front of the rr6 Df the Tuileries, in the square calicd after Louis XIV, and near tho spot whare stood the statue of the most impure of ins a king who died tranquilly in his ed. Tho condemned man was three minutes descending from the carriage Upon quit ting the Temple he had refused the riding coat which Clery had offered to him and now appeared in a brown coat, white waistcoat, gray breeches and white dtockingg His hair was not disordered, nor was any change per ceptible in his countenance. Tho Abbe Fir mont was dressed in black. A large opn space- had been kept round the scaffold, with cannon ranged on all sides, while beyond; as far as the eye could reach, stood an unarmed multitude. The executioner had opened the door of the coach, and descending. Louis fixed his eyes upon the soldiers who surrounded him and, with a terrible voice, cried, " Silence I" Tho drums ceased to beat, but at a signal from the officer the drummers again went on. " What treason is this?" he shouted. "lam lost ! I am lost !" For it was evident that, up - to this moment, ho had been clinging to hope. The executioners now - approached to take off a part of his clothes J he repulsed them fiercely, and himself removed tho collar from bis neck. But all the blood in his body seem ed to be turned into fire when they sought to tie his hands " Tie my hands 1" he shriek ed. A struggle was Inevitable h ?ame. It ia indisputable, says Mercier, that Louis fought with his executioners The Abbe Edgeworth stood by, perplexed, horrified, speechless. At last as his master seemed to look inquiringly at him, he said, " Sir, in this additional outrage, I only see a last trait of the resemblance between your majesty and the God who will give you your reward. At these words, the indignation of the man gave way to tho humility of the Christian, and Louis said to the executionera, " I will drain the cup to the dregs " They tied his hands, they cut off his hair, and then, leaning on the arm of his confessor, he began with a slow tread and sinking demeanor,, to mount the steps, then very steep, of the guillotine.

He wa3 about to continue, when his voice was drown ed by the renewed rolling ct the drums, at a 6ignal which it is affirmed, was given by the comedian Dugayon, in anticipation of tho or ders of Saterre." "Silenee! be ileut!" cried Louis XVI, losing all self-control, and stamp ing violently with hi3 foot. Richard, oue of the executioners, then seized a pistol, and rook aim at the King. It was necessary to drag him along by force. With difficulty fastened to the fatal plank, he continued to utter horrible cries only interrupted by the fall of the knife, which instantly struck off his head Samson raised it aloft, and showed it to the people.

The fact that Mr. Buchanan did not take the oath of office until after the delivery of his i.uaugural has given rise to an impression with many, that it was an unusual thing. Such, however, is not tho fact. John Adams, John Quincy Adams. Jackson, Van Buren, Polk and Taylor delivered their inaugurals before taking the oath ; Harrison took it just before delivering the elosing sutence ; and General Washington. Jefferson, Madison. Monroe and Pierce took it before the delivery. Ty lsr and Fillmore had no occasion to deliver addresses, as they were elected to the Vice Presidential office, and succeeded to the Presidency by reason of vacancies from death. These in augural addresses, it may be remarked, tho' they nave come to be regarded as an essen tial part of the ceremony of installing a Pres ident, do not necessarily belong to it, and are, in fact, extra-constitutional. They arc purely voluntary on the part of tho President, who is only required by the constitution to take the oath of office. It is a remarkable fact that all the inaugu ral speeches of Mr. Buchanan's predecessors, though he is now the fifteenth President of the United States, have been delivered since he was born, so young are we as a nation.' Washington delivered his first and only inau gural speech to the Senate, as did both Adams and Jefferson, but he delivered none on his secorfd election. Though Jefferson' delivered his first inaugural in tho Senato chamber, it was addressed to his " FrL-nds and Country men " Since that time the inaugural speeches of the Presidents have been addressed to the people, and have been delivered from the portico of the capitol.
