This caps the climax of all the appoint ments since the dog keeping Government has been in power, and we look upon it as a base and downright insult to every other justice in this county. "Is lie honest?" echo answers "is lIE honest?" Yet when the Governor knew his character--knew he was despised—and suspected,—knew that in his ewn township he was looked upon as having the bump of appropriate ivness largely developed on his sconce— yet knowing all this he has given him au thority, to send his more honest neighbor to jail, and made him a dispenser of Jus tice. God protect our country! When the abandoned and profligate, become the guardians of the morals of our country “Farewell a long farewell to all our greatness.% When knaves hold the scales of Justice, the preponderance will never be on virtues side, but even theft will stalk abroad at noon-day, and poke her fingers at the blear-eyed dame who apes the cha racter of equity. "A Justice of the Peace." The title would signify that its holder should be just! I.low stingely perverted is the application. He will not even be a ptcce of a Justice; and we rejoice to hear that the honest portion of the citizens, express their open disapprobation of the appoint ment. Some of them we understand have told the Governor to his teeth !.that it was an outrage upon the people. Cunning Davy, however, said he had a large list of signers./ What an excuse! even. if true, (which by the by no one believes 4 He respects a long list very much now! Do not the people know that in the pre vious appointments, petitions were need less? Yet now he hopes to gull some of his honest friends into a belief, that it was the petitioners who caused Parson's ap pointment; and he even went so far as to say he would send up a, copy ot the names. This may satisly a while!. but he 'sever will show a copy—he may send a list, and let those who receive it enquire, and they will learn that the, names sent were never attached to the petition. Remem ber what we say, don't be deceived again. This is all in keeping with the charac. ter of the man: Men to obtain office must be like himself: The honest and capable are not such tools as he needs; and we would advise any man who re spects himself, to shun. the honor which will be received from being a favorite with him; and only fit for an associate of his unprincipled officers.. The Extra Session. On the 7th of may the Legislature again assembles; & if this Extra Session is to Le of the same do nothing character as the Winter Session, they had far better stay at home, and we feel confident that it will. Perhaps they may pass some laws. to ac cotnotlate them. to the new constitution.' but that will be all.. We feel assured that some of the plainest implied provisions will be disrega►ded, for no other reason than to retain the power in the hands of the Governor. The whole chcracter of the instrument is democratic, bringing every thing nearer to and mo:e under the control of the peo_ pie, and its framers claimed to be govern ed by that motive. We then call upon the people to watch well and see it tttis "Dog Keeper" Gov ernment does not wilfully disregard the expressed wish of the people. Nothing is of greater importance to the State of Pensylvania than that her canals & rail roads should be under a supervsion not liable to continued and sudden chan ges; and the only method by which this can be obviated is to make the board oft canal commisioners elected, one each year, by the Legislature, organized the same as our board of County Commissic mere. 'Then there would be two in the board who were acquainted with the !business, and the board could never be constituted by appointing three who were wholly igno rant of its duties. These are and have always been out views, we have not changed them for mere party sake. how is it with our opponents? Three years ago some of them were loud in their advocacy of this democratic meas ure. If they were sincere they will be found urging upon this Extra Session the duty of so organizing the new Board. The new Constitution has directed that the' Legislature shall pass laws directing the mode and manner of appointment; and we ask the people to watch these democra tic talkers and see if they prove themselves democratic actors. The dog keeping rebels have been bound over in Harrisburg, to appear again at the August term. There was some informa lity in the indictment, and a new one is to be sent up at that coact.

MR VAN BUREN AND HIS CABINET. The following powerful phillipic is ta ken from an eloquent speech by Mr. Kennedy of Baltimore, towards the close of the late Congress: In. the embarrassments which have (been brought upon our fiscal Milan, in the prostration of the agricultural, the mer cantile, and the manufacturing prosperity of the country, the Administration has been able to suggest no adequate relief. Gl e struggle along upon expedients. The vie insita of the nation, its intrinsic vigor, which not even misgovernment has been able totally to crush, has, by slow degrees begun to revive the prosperity of the rand; but the government has done nothing. hhatever might be the expected from the! patriotism, the virtue the intelligence or Ithe people, they have nobly realized; what. ever has been left to the government has languished and faded in its hands. The guardians of the treasury have fallen asleep; felonies unmatched in enormity have been detected in the inermost shrine. of the temple; the very priests have rub. I ed the alter; the nation has but extricated itself from one debt to create another; thel finances are in confusion ; the revenue inadequate to the expenditure; our hard- I money government has fallen into a paper manufacturing government; our rulers are at their wit around are signs of end; a.szns Me silken tie that binds two willing hearts, ; the warnings O'f'tleir ieir doom; The truth stands confessed; it is tell in: TIIARRICID.•On Thursday lust, at every department of the public affairs; Loysburg, by the Rev.

An easy 'lot , hid -4. ti indolent, luxuriousci _, presides over the cabinet, of whom it would be flattery to say, that it vas a mere personation of indolence. To the members of the cabi-, net, personally, sir, so far as a limited acquaintance may warrant, 1 am willing to accord all consideration and respect. speak of them as a public body. A more diversified compound of dullness, inapti tude, and ignorance of official duty; a greater lack of energy; a more sorely per plexed, bewildered, and dismayed associ ation of State counsellors, were never, perhaps, exhibited around a councihtable, than may, at the . present juncture, be seen in the daily, anxious conferences of this' precious cabinet. Since the days of the Merry Monarch of England anti his hair brained crony Rochester, never were the. destinies of a great nation intrusted to more incompetent hands. I might except from this censure, and do , except, one who has the reputation of be- 1 lug a regular attendant at these council meetings; 1 doubt not, the first to come and the last to depart; a personage inure notorious than distinguished, anti yet, sir, boasting no small claim to destinction. I mean. that man of.all.work, whose mar-, velous exaltation from the kitchen up to' the chamber nearest the King is one oldie. most striking moral sitrnifications of the times. This, sir, is eis administratoin. Whatever remainder of efficacy it has, is his; whatever of shrewdness, of cohesion, of malice, of mischief belongs to him. By his sufferance does every member of that cabinet hold his place—or did, sir, for I trust his influence is. drawing to an end. Yea, even the placid and pliant chief him self has found his account in the good will of this Mephistopheles. Ile is the link between the past Administration and the present; the conduit-pipe by which the surplus porpularty . of the one is transfused , into the waning circulation of the other; the ligament that still unites the small fiatunes of the polished and pleasure loving tenant of the palace to the more robust destiny of the grim fearless lion that has his lair at the Hermitage. But for this one informing spirit, yonder whole cabinet array of iml racticle, skil, less, temporizing, experimen-mongering statesmen, would long before this. have floundered to the bottom of that pool of turbid party-waters in which they now, struggle for respiration. The day, sir, is' not remote when they and their guardian genius shall sink together in this oey tide, and be remembered no more. From the Hollidaysburg Register. THE FIP-PENNY-BIT CONCERN, By the following receipt it will be seen the tip-penny-bit concern on the Summit is really doing a business. Many of our readers were disposed to doubt our sin cerity when we announced that a Collec tors office had been established on the sumit of the Allegheny Mountain, and considered it a mere burlesque; but now we set before them the prof—the under.ll. able and incontestible proof, that such an establishment is in existauce I and is doing a businea! —but such a busiuss It will be born in mind that to do this business THREE NEW OFFICERS were created, the occupants of which are receiving from 2,1 50 to $2 00 each, per day, and in one of the offices, it will be perceived by the receipt, there is a clerk but whether at the expense of the Com monwealth we cannot say. The economy of the Porter administration is strikelingli illustrated. To cath a fip or so occasionally, three offices are created at an expense of about $5 00 or $6 00 a day. Now can any many for a moment suppose that economy prompted ordictated the estableshment of these offices? We think nut. Becacse it must be apparent to all acquainted with this matter, that the advantage of them cannot repay their expense to the Commonwealth. But the secret of their establishment is in this : places 'lad to be provided for their occu pants—they had been promised, and were not - to be put off—they would not submit to be cast aside and mutely bear the treat ment-- The offices were created to reward partizans, not to promote the interests of the State; and by this system the General' as well as the State Oovernmena, hope to retain their ill-gotten power. But such work is absolutely a disgrace to Pennsylvania. What! Our great State reduced to the humble necessity of setting toll-gatherers by the way side to collect ..lips" from the roor labourer as he passes alone a mile or two on the bumping beam of a freight car, to or from his labour, or on an errand to his neighbor's! Lamenta ble indeed; and did the condition of the Commonwealth require a resort to such , means, we would blush for her; but it is done by the Locofocos for the Locofocos, land let the Locofocos blush. here is the ,document.
