That has been our situation this week, compelling us to resort to the scissors and the pen of a friend. A few days of relaxation will bring us all right eon, however! 1W We had always supposed Gov Pollock was a very exemplary member of one of the Presbyte rian Churches; and perhaps he is—still his course upon our "local hobby" is causing our "neigh bor round the corner" to commit the sin of Sab bath breaking rather more frequent than a con servator of the public morale should For in stance, last week be told his readers that on ac count of his Excellency'. inability to reach the *is bill, his longing: would have to go over ano ther Sabbath unsatisfied.

Judge Thompson requests us to say that having been attending to the interests of the peo ple at Harrisburg all Winter, he is now 013CC T ; more in his office and ready to attend to the in• Wrests of his clients. aa. Judge Thompson has returned from at tending the Supreme Court at Harrisburg We understand he saw the Governor while in Phil. adelphia, and had some conversation with bim in regard to "our bill " He thinks it will eventual ly receive the Executive sanction. We hope he is not mistaken; but we candidly tell our readers, in order that they may make up their minds to the result, that we have neither faith now, nor never had, in Pollock's disposition to interfere between the people and monopoly In the first place, it is'nt his political faith; and in the next, his whole course while here last Fall pre vious to the election, was such as ought to have convinced any unprejudiced man that he sympa thised with our opponents. And to this the fact that now—after the bill had been discussed in the Legislature for weeks before it passed—after the abstract question itself had been the theme of universal discussion for nearly two years—he puts tee friends of the measure off with the pre text that he has not had time to examine it, and hence has not made up his mind, we think the indications are not at all favorable. Indeed, such a reply seems very inneh to us like a polite way of saying, "Gentlemen, your bill can't become a law!"

It t• moved that the time for executingso much of the decrees of this Court in reference to that p.rtiou of the Respondents railroad that lies west of Ash Lane and in the city of Lrie, be extended ono nienth after the argument and decision in this Court upon the Bill in the case of the Cleveland, PLUIJITIIIn and Ash tabula Railroad Company.

After "giving time," times without number, for the , obedience, or properly speaking, as the 'history of the matter has shown, the disobedience of a party "in court," they have concluded to reward the tiameAisobedient party with an i'edefisite ex tension of judicial favor and power.

After the pleasure of the Court has terminated this sliding legal novelty, then the month prayed for in the above "motion" will begin to run Now we are neither a lawyer nor the son of one, and if this kind of amusement, at the expense of what is generally understood to be the rights of parties and the rules of justice, is all coostitutiosal and legal, we are very glad that we are not If we did belong to the "profe.- 'ion," we should feel obligated to turn off all clients seeking redress against incorporated pri• vilege and wealth. And after this, it's but o ne more step down the y came track to make the size of an individual's "wallet," or the vat and qual ity of his cost, the guide-b.iard to judgment.

The recent desperate attempt apes the life of the Emperor of Franco, instantly figgelfed to emir mind the wide difference, enelany Is well is politically, between Euenpean and United fltatas dignitaries. The contrast, though extending more or leas to the oceepants of even the most inconsiderable offices, is principally and promi nently striking, as between the Chief Magistrates, or Rulers, as they are sometimes termed. When it is remembered. that all standard authorities up on the origin and elements of government, Amer ioan or Transatlantic, are unanimous upon the point that all authority is delegate and repre sentative, and not original in the hands of a few, or by "divine right," it appears at once, that vi olence has been done to first and fundamental principles, wherever the repositories uf pow er, are habitually obnoxious. When the lat ter is the ease, the alternative conclusion is un avoidable, that either chive theories of govorn ment are altogether fallacious, or else the exis ting systems are positive and criminal violations of theßights of Man. Criminal,because in the face of reason and experience, and maintained by force and fraud, and in eonstant hasard of life and happiness. If the Rulers of a Nation are the depositories of the power and sovereignty of the masses, then legitimately they should be the ob je •ts of national respect and affection. All he reditary government i; of course liable to dan ger and objection on this ground. To maintain that a descendant, whose ancestor lived a thou sand years ago, and who obtained sovereign sway over a nation, no matter whather by Universal consent or by force and stratagem, is there/ore, by virtue of some transmitted physical or spirit ual quality, entitled to the same power and sway over the same nation, notwithstanding its popu lation may have increased an hundred fold, and its wealth and intelligence in a like ratio, is to maintain a manifest absurdity. The proposition only lacks the additional fact, that the descend. in line of spurious sovereignty generally grows more and more contemptible, to fiill it to the full with folly. The idea, that an intelligent Eng lishman of to-day. exercised, by a sort of retro spective gammon, his choice for Victoria. through the will or conduct of some bull-headed Britain or Norman robber of the tenth or eleventh cen tury, is only less amusing than dangerous The position ignores every principle of individual right and responsibility, is opposed by every an alogy in nature, and insults every feeling and sentiment of manhood Bnt we meant at first simply to glance at the social features of this sub ject. When an European chief dignatary—an Empe ror, or a King—goes abroad to move among, if not mingle with his people, it is always with an escortfor protection from possible, and generally from probable personal danger, as well as for the purpose of display We know that there have been exceptions to this rule, but they du nut in validate its:general correctness. The fear of as sassination is the terrible birth-right of royalty, and ha. a better claim to a foundation upon "divine right, - than the right of royalty itself. He who is born to sin, and persists in sinning against the rigths of millions of his fellows, may well sus pect that that Justice, which accomplishes its purposes even through the wickedness of men, is "divine" and sure The happiness of an in dividual thus circumstanced must of course be but comparatively nominal His immediate vi cinity, will of course be surrounded by many who are willing to flatter and fawn, because it is pro fitable to do so, and by a few who may be thought t rue friends. But disappointment and envy are constantly thining, and changing the faces in the ranks of both. When the President of the United States, or a Governor of either of the States goes abroad, it is to mingle with the people, and in so doing nut to sacrifice, bus acquire increased dignity. Go where he may, he is greeted with hearts warm and true Instead of fearing that, in the lar gest assemblages of his fellow citizens and con stituents, there are men, in revenge for individ ual or general wrongs, to attempt his life, the danger is from the press of importunate welcome. More of our chief men and dignitaries have been endangered by Nrigorous hand shaking, in expres sion of esteem s.nd confidence, than probably ever would be by assassination, should our present sys tem stand till the end of time. And this general regard for the depositories of power is the legiti mate and sou ad fruit of adherence to the elemen tal principles. of government, as advocated by the highest authority amongst writers on the subject, and 414 pate nt to plain common sense. When our acquavatances over the " big waters" have turned th air political and social sysmms in side out, ones or twice, and scraped and cleans el them thoroughly of all their antiquated im purities, :conforming practice to precept, which has duly been theoretically true in their cases heretof ire., then will people and rulers be able to enjoy existence without the burden of unwar ranted. obligation on the one part, or the fear of viole - ace sin the other. NOT A FICTION.—We noticed last week the decisiou of an Ohio judge that, u there is a law iv that d tate against the circulation of bank notes of other States, the passing of counterfeit notes upon the Banks of other States was no crime in Ohio; in noticing it, we thought there was some mistake, bui it appears there is none—such be. ing tie actual decision of more than one of her courts. For instance, in the ease of the State of (ibio vs. William Hall, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, charged with passing a tire dollar no neterfieit Bank Bill, of the Farmers' Bank of f tentueky. It has been held by the Court of common Pleas, now in session in that city, that the passing of such a bank bill is no crime i n th e State of Ohio; and that the statute of Ohio, of May Ist, 1854, prohibiting the circulation of for eign bank bills of a less denomination then ten dollars, renders inoperative the law nulling it criminal to pus the counterfeits of such bank bills. This decision will probably give bo:dneue to the operations of the counterfeiters for a time, and doubtless vast quantities of counterfeit for. sip bank money will be brought into the State to be circulated. It behoves the people to be on their guard against the attempts to dupe the nn waxy, and to scritanize closely every bill of:a leap denomination than ten dollars on foreign banks. It will doubtless have the effect to aid the law of May 1, 11154, as the quantity of counterfeit mo• ney will be so great as to double the chances of being bitten. so. Col. Joseph B.

During the wars of Napoleon, capital sought England from Germany and France for safer investments than it was supposed could be procured at home, and that capital, Mr. Porter, in his Progress of Nations, states was a great aid to the English government in its loans. The United States at that time did not exist as a nation of high cred it. It does so now, and has even in time of pesee attracted very large sums for inve s tment; and it now presents opportunity for investment in securities which have in the last teh years be- come widely known upon the continent through the agency of the numerous banking houies, with German and French connexions, that have been started It is reasonable, therefore, to suppose that when capital in the belligerent nations be gins to feel the weight of war burdens, it will flow in increasing volume to this side of the At lantic. The continuance of war also involves the sale of larger quantities of breadstuffs to England and Europe Even in peace, the de mands upon the United States have been large; but with war extended over Europe, the taking of laborers from agricultural employment, at the same time the grain countries are devastated, adds to the dematKis upon American sources of supply. These are likely to be very large.— Prices have been at inordinate rates now for more than eighteen months Stocks are exhaus ted, and every effort has been made to get au un usual breadth of land under culture. The ac counts from the West, thus far, promise the ut most success to their efforts. Old farmer have sought to increase their crops, while the quan tity of land sold to new settlexs,and the number of emigrants that have arrived, have been aston ishingly great Great numbers of laborers, who were last year employed upon thertilroads, have gone back to farming, and the railroads them selves have made these new farms and industrial enterprise accessible to market. All these are elements, if e season prove propitious, of an unusually large supply; but bow great snever it may be, it will all find ready markets at home and abroad. In the year 1843, the means of communication wore very limited. The Erie canal and the Pennsylvania canal wore the chief channels of transportation; but were very inade quate, as was also the shipping. Recently the latter has been much depressed, and railroad and canal tolls have declined from want of produce to transport. Large crops the coming fall, at tracted by the high prices, will pour from every productive region over the new railroads into the great reservoirs, imparting activity to every branch of transportation and restoring to the shippers a portion of that prosperity they enjoy ed in 1847, when a single outward freight would nearly pay the cost of construction. It follows, as a matter of course, if farm products are large iii quantity and high in price, that large credits will accrue to the interior, anti a most active business usually follows such a combination, be cause purchases of goods attend the ability to consume. These are some of the reasons why a good fall business hi looked for by some of the leading merchants; but, although money is very abundant, the conviction is apparently VA suf ficiently strong to awaken speculation and there is hardly any improvement from the lowest range of prisms, notwithstanding the small imports and diminished production. The stocks of goods in the stores are also large, and holders are wisely disposed to bold them rather than to part with them on long credits. It is very possible that the continuance of war may cause goods to come out from Europe at very low rates, and this con tingency prevents any rise here for the present. It would seem to be the cue that the war will cause United States gold, farm produce, and se curities to sell well at high prices, while the products of European labor will come out at lower prices, thus enhancing the national profits in a two-fold manner.

They have been driven to resistance against this impertinent meddling, and have ever sine- been fortifying themselves—as any section in like circumstances would—against the threats and abuses heaped upon them by the hot-heads of the north They naturally resist the threat ened establ shment of political prep‘nidency, for abolition purposes, and at et ery step are denoun ced as wrong, and guided by base motivm- in tak ing a coos se that must ever be expected, under the workings of such a system of muck philau throphy and pseudo benevolence. The philosophy of the abolitionists of the day is ali wrong We do not impugn the motives of tile. masses of them; but we verily believe, that if there never existed an organised society of the kind; or perhaps one that was not so ultra and fanatical, there would have been, at this time, • fewer slaves, and muchless opposition to the ef forts and desires of real philanthropists, in the work of eventful emancipation. The attempt to govern Kansas in this arbitrary and faoatical way has caused the difficulty there, and every day is adding to the probability that slavery will never be abolished in the United States, until* different ouurse is adopted froth the overbearing and ar bitrary action that has been observed on the part of those who, in this as in all such matters, seem to think they have a sort of divine right to do what they please upon any subject they may deem worthy of their mural care. Ie MASSACHUSETTS CIVILIZED?-"Look at her, there she stands," exclaimed Daniel Webster proudly, in his reply to Hayne. Ettzt that was long ago, before the days of Hiss, and "Sam," and Wilson, and the rest of the degenerate clan that now govern that ancient Commonwealth "Look at her, there she stands," but there is no WEBSTER to wake the echoer of the past in old Fanuel Hall, or proclaim anew the civilization of the nineteenth century. In his stead we have men who can disgrace the name of christianity and civilisation both by enactments that— "Authories any justice of the peace upon complaint, by a watTant directed to and to be executed by any constable, or any other person there designated, to cause any pauper to be re moved out of the &ate to any place beyond the sea where he belongs, if the justice thinks pro per, and he may be conveniently removed; and also that, independently of this provision of law, a practice has arisen by which the commissioner of alien passengers undertakes, even without the warrant of a justice of peace, to scud back paupers in cases in which he sees fit., and pay tee expeo sea from money in his hands belonging to the State Treasury." The operation of the law is exhibited in the following paragraph from the Boston Adoertiser: "Yesterday morning, there sailed from this port a splendid packet Alb bearing the noble name of Daniel Webstor, inich fitly belongs to so fine a vessel.

The Mormons, after their passions (or, as they call it, their holy desire to people the earth) are gratified seldom pretend to suppert their numerous wives. Brigham Young declared last conference that he did not know how many wives be had. "Tell the Gentiles," said he, "I do not know half of them when I see them." The majority of these poor women are oompelled to work for their daily bread, and many are in such a destitute condi tion that they are forced to seek the charity of h 'rang-N. It is an actual fact that one of the wives of the Chief of the Apostles gains her livi lihood by washing for the boarders of a public house in town. Indeed it is nothing uncommon for these lords of creation to send their wives out in canons for wood, and any day you can see wo 9en chopping logs and driving cattle co the moun tains. Subjected to a slavery worse than eau be rea lised in the South, turned into prostitutes and concubines against their will, denied even wo man's chief prerogative—the use of her tongue— there are now hundreds of females who only await the opportunity to abandon forever a life that so illy befits the proud spirits of American Woman hood. It was but yesterday that a widow with her daughters called upon me, and after asking me to lock the door of my room for fear she should be surprised in the house of a Gentile, unfolded her story of bitter wrongs and sufferings. The Bishop of her ward bad demanded her whole family, in cluding herself, in marriage She bad given up all she had for tithes and other taxer, and was now in the dilemma of either starving or being compelled to share an incestous bed with the daughters of her own body. With tears in her eyes, she prayed me to afford her the means of going to California in the spring. These cases occur every day—indeed the spirit of dissatisfac tion is universal. 1 have never rouvereed with a solitary women who was not diet:untended with her situation and prospects. This speaks more than all the ingenious arguments in favor of poly gamy, and demonstrates that the practical work ing of the "plurality system" is adverse to do mestic love and happiness. Here would be a great field for your strong minded women. If a few Bloomers and fast young ladies would come out to Utah and raise the cry of "virtue and independence," in the wally of the mountains, the whole Mormon fe male community would rise in a mass and shake off the shackles that bind them. But there is no one here to lead them on The fear of being cut off from the church, and of being "sent to enter nal hell across lots," as Brigham classically ex pressed it, deters them from such a course, and the desert plains that hem them in on every side prevent them from slipping secretly away to Ca fornia or the States. =lO Condition of the Allies A letter to the N. T . Tinos, thus describes the condition of the Allies before Sebastopol.— The next Steamer will in our judgment, bring intelligence of their raising the siege ; or being crushed by the Russian reinforcements, uuw mov ing to Sebastopol. The Allies are out of Ammunition, out of men, out of luck, out of spirits, and onto( sorts. Their terrible bombardment, which was to be followed by the assaults in five days, was prolonged to eleven, and then provisionally suspended. They are waiting for more powder, and for more food for powder. They want both sulphur and men. Lord Raglan is clamerous for the Sardinian con• coy. The Allies are disappearing fast, while the Russians are forever gathering, faster and faster, into and around the bcleagured city. The invaders' guns are sprung, and could not be safely tired even if thers was ball to load them.— These gnus must have repose. The Russians merely replace theirs by new ones drawn from those marvellhus arsenals, which form one of the revelations of this war. The Allies have completed their telegraph from London and Paris to Ralaklava ' and have used it to forward com• plaints and ill-tidings over, ever since it was opened. tiortichakoff, a successful cut:aim:ler of the Menschikoffian traditions, dispatches daily bulletins to his master, conceived in the same curt, precise, imperturbable vein, as those of his predecessor. He is preparing a terrible and combined attack on the enfeebled enemy. The Allies, lately decimated by snow and frost, are now in dread of the heat of returning summer. They are wondering whether they cannot get rid of their corpses by some more speedy and effec tual means than btirial. They are talking of the employment of chemical substances; of the reduction and consumption of the dead by the agency of acids. They live in fear of pntrifso don decomposition, miasma, pestilence, and death by a worse scourge than war. In the mean time, they have made no breach of sufficient im portapos, to admit of an assault, and hare not the man to try it or the pluck to risk it. More i men and more powder are called for there; more money and more beart-breakiug is called for here. Fathers and cartridges, sous and cougreve rockets, husbands, hearts, gunpowder, human life, sul phuric acid, blood, Jove, bombs, limbs, industry, peace, commerce, hope, prosperity, home, happi ness, fireside, country—Fnuice must furnish all this, and sacrifice all this, to satisfy the ambition of one man.

This •is tire came at peroeptible yellow tinge. That is not attributed to the stook used is abundantly demonstrated by the perfect whiteneas of mall Parcels of paper made by filtered water. Printers may ah.o ()Wave a slightly unwed harshness in the paper By later experiments, Mr. Beardslee has entirely obviated this 019‘...et ion He has produced specimens of almost every de grip of flexibility—from blotting paper to paper of the harshest linen texture. The paper we use to-day W 1121 made upou the Fourdenier Machine of the blessrs Orr, of Troy, whose establishment is as perfeet as any in the country, and to whom Mr. Ileardslee is ander great obligations for the facilities which they have so cheerfully afforded him daring his preli minary experiments. Mr. Beardlee has been equally ettimerisfal in his experiments with wl►itewood, spruce and Buckey. From each be produces a clean, flex ible and beautiful paper. Re has also wqrked up pulp frum pine, cedar and hemlock, and it pos sesses all the good qualities of that secured from other woods. He has also produced from these several woods various shades of unbleached wrapping paper, of the very strongest texture. Indeed, we pan iw• agine no end attained with cotton and linen rugs in the manufacture of paper, which cannot be reached by wood, whether ►t be in the product ►on of wrapping paper, news and book printing pa per, or bank note paper. The results which Mr Beardslee has also reached justify t h e must sang uine expectations. Mr. Beardslee has closed his experiments.— lie has reached results which justify hias in im mediately entering upon the tuanufsettire of the article fur market. That he will be successful, we cannot doubt. We are sure that our readers—and more par ticularly those who arc acquainted with the man ufacture of paper—will be astonished at the re sults thus produced from basswood.

HUMAN TNTI mum% —A few days ago a dead body was found near Milwaukee, and public opinion generally became satisfied that it was the sad remains of John Dwyer. a sailor aceustowed to sail from that port, and well known there for years. Three ladies with whom Dwyer had boarded in Milwaukee during the last four years all identified the body as that of their late boarder It appears that Dwyer left the citf u few mouths since for the interior on a job of7frixid clopp,ug, and that recently a man named Ilarrison came io, saying Dwyer bad sent for his clothing, which was given hitt] Officers started off in pursuit of Harrison, that he might be forced to give au ac count of poor Dwyer, and he did, for be carried the police to where D was at work. The latter gentleman assured the officers that he was nut dead, had not been murdered, and was in excel lent health. The Coroner's jury in the face of this evidence, bad to reject that of the ladies who so conscientiously and honestly, yet mistakenly. testified to the identify of the body.— L'hicayo Mies.
