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.

MR VAN BUREN AND HIS CABINET.
The following powerful phillipic is ta

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 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.

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
