A VAR SIGN
The London correspondent of the N.
York Signal, writes in a postcript:
. have just learned that the Four
powers are so indignant at the extensive
warlike preparations which France con
tinues to make, notwithstanding all their
remonstrances against Thiers, and in the
teeth of the pacific assurances given both
by Losis Phillippe and M. Guizot, that if
she persists much longer in her present
course, the consequence will be an open
rupture with the other powers."
It should be remembered that in the
speech of the Queen of England, no allu
sion whatever, is made to the relations
between Great Britain and France. The
Journal des Debuts thus alludes to the
omission:
..This is a fact which we have not the
slightest intention of dissimulating. We
accept this silence without exaggeration,
as also without diminishing its significa
tion. This kind of international courtesy
ought to be entirely free: we have no right
to claim it, and we have neither the right
nor the temptation to complain of its o
mission."
In a late number of that paper, howev
er, we find a more satisfied tone--thus:
..While the French pi ess and Parlia
ment declare that France is humbled and
degraded, the English press and Parlia
ment represent us strong, greet, and res•
pected as ever. Thus the foreigner is,
more French than ourselves, and provides
us with the modesty, the dignity, and the
patriotism which we have not shown our
selves. What particularly attracts our
attention is the unanimity with which
men of 411 parties, without any exception
—Tories, Whigs arid Radicals—express
their right to see it, separated from Eng
land and Europe, and their desire to see
it re enter on honorable terms into the
European confederation."
WAR MOVEMEN r IN MAINE.
On the 3d instant resolutions on the
subject of repelling British aggressions
were offered in the House of Represents
lives and referred. We learn from the
Portland Argus of the 15th instant that
these resolutions were taken up by the
Senate on the 13th, and after being amen
ded by inserting $1,000,000 instead of
$400,800, for the defence of the State,
were referred to the Boundary Commit
tee. Mr. Davies then offered the follow
ing resolve, which was referred to the
same committee:
..Resolve fur repelling Foreign Invnsioi
and providing for the protection of thi
State.
Be it Resolved, That the President of
the United States be requested and urged
to cause the immediate removal of the
foreign armed force, by which our State is
invaded, stationed upon the upper valley
of the St. Johns, and that the Government
of the United States be earnestly invoked
to relieve this State from the present liett
vy needless burthen of its own defence."
The following resolutions were also
offered and referred to the same commit.
tee:
"Whereas the Stale of Maine is now

1840, and continued up to this hour, in

DARING AND DESPERATE OCCUR.
RENCE.
For a long period we have not heal d of •
a circumstance so daring and desperate,
as that which we are about to state. On
Wednesday morning last a man named
Coonrad went on board the Maysville pac
Pet, Swiftsure, and asked for employment
but not getting any, he engaged for a pass
sage on deck, Hhile on the passage, lie
attached himself to one of the Cabin pas
sengers, and induced that.person to drink
until he felt inclined to go to sleep, which
he did in the Deck passenger's quarters.
On arriving at Maysville, Coonrad, the
Cabin passenger, who by that time had be
come sober, and another Deck passenger
went ashore and entered a tavern. There
the Cabin Passenger proposed to stand a
treat, but on going to pay, he missed 11;s,
pocket book. He immediately charged '
Cuonrad with the theft, who denied it; but
on being pressed, he made for the door
and ran off. A cry was raised, and lie
was soon brought back, but as, in the
meantime, the property had been found
near the door of the tavern, where it is
supposed Cuonrad had dropped it on run
ning out, the owner did not wish to do
any thing more about the affair. Not so
with the crowd around, on observing
which, Coonrad again ran off and made
for the river, into which he dashed and
attempted to swim off; but on being threat'
cued that he should be stoned to death if
he did not return and a promise being be
ing held out that he should not be detain
ed, he came ashore. Ile was then imme
diately seized, and finally committed to
jail. During his examination the prison-•
er was heard to threaten that if he was
sent to jail, they should not find him there
in the morning; he made good his threat'
but too well. During the night he contri
ved to set the building in limes! and in
morning, nothing was found of the des
perate and unfortunate wretch, but a few
bones smoking among the ruins of his pris
on! For these particulars we are indebt
ed to the attention of Capt. Molen, of the
Swiftsure. We have learned since, that
Coonrad had been known for some time
in this city, and that he did not bear a
good character.
WOLF HUNTING IN ILLINOIS,
A late -Vandalia paper publishes the
programme of a great l - Pollhunt which
was to come oil in that neighborhood on
the 13th inst. A public meeting was held
'o consider the subject of wolves, and a
dopt measures for their destruction; where
upon it was unanimously agreed to have a
eneral Wolf Hunt. A chief Marshal
was appointed, with four assistant Mar
.hals, who after doe deliberation announ
•ed a general 'Order of the Day.'
It appears from this document that the
gout was to be on a large scale. There
vere no less than twelve companies under
inters, each with its respective captain.
l'he several companies were distributed o
ver a considerable district, with special
'tilers as to their movements and courses
l'he General order concludes with the
'aiming directions:
All the companies will drive towards
he Centre, which will be designated by a
lag, placed on a cummaading eminence,
n a prairie.
The commanders of companies will not
permit chase to be given to any wolf run
sing to the centre—this order must be
strictly observed. All ravines and thick
,!ts must be well searched. The officers
will, as soon as possible, after they com
mence their march, close their lines,
right and left, and move on regularly to
wards the cent e.
Gentlemen ore requested to arm them
..elves with guns, clubs, or other w'apuns,
iu itable for the occasion; and as many as
•
can do so should be mounted on horseback
It is also desirable that as many trumpets
horns, &c. as practicable, should be
brought into the chase, and that they be
well used throughout the hunt.

One of the swine species, intended as a l
present to General Harrison, is on its way
to Washington, and from the description
we have read, it must be a monster. The '

The old Democratic day for nominating
the candidate for Governor (4th of March)
is departed from in the present instance,
in order to afford all who desire it an op
portunity to attend both the State Con•
vention and the inaugeration of President
Harrison.
Truth at Last
Our readers will recollect, that on a
certain occasion, one Geo. Espy, David
Rittenhouse's Auditor General, came up
into these digging, to hunt after the per.
jured knaves who had embezzled the funds
of the State; and that we, at the time, in
sinuated, that he was the very fellow to
set at such business, for the old maxim,
"set a rogue to catch a rogue" was a very
true one. We had, long before, read his
character in the Franklin Intelligencer;
and had, also, read the attempt at de-
fence made in the Democrat; and being so
firmly convinced of the truth of the asser•
tions of our paper in that county, we did
not hesitate to assent that he was a fit com
panion of the Governor of Pennsylvania
•—"birds of a feather, &c."
The " Venango Democrat" is now con •
winced that they were vastly mistaken,
in supposing that Dr. Geo Espy was any
thing like an honest man. This kind of
contrition we admire. It speaks of an
independent, and a fearless heart; and
shows an honesty of purpose in thus frank
ly admitting an error, when it is discover
ed. That paper now holds the following
language toward that same Dr. Espy,
notwithstanding, they are both of the
same party. We wish our readers to ex
amine it carefully, and then ask them.
selves, and their neighbors if they think
their State honored by elevating such
men to office, or, by elevating a man as
Governor, who selects fur his cabinet com
panions, men of such doubtlul claims to
any thing like honesty. We have no idea
that the Governor can spare such a jewel
from his political household, for two good
and sufficient reasons: he has need of his
services; and the old adage, "there is hon
or om"ng &e" may perhaps form the oth
er reason. But read the Extract front
the
"Venango Democrat."
At the election of 1857, Dr. George
Espy was a candidate for the Legislature
in this county. After the nomination he
was charged by the editor of the Frank
lin Intelligencer with FRAUD and the
embezzlement of the public funds, whilst
County Treasurer—and by Alexander
McDowell, Esq., with PERJURY.
Against the editor of the Intelligence, he
brought a suit for libel. Against Mr Mc•
Dowell, a suit for slander. Many people
who know Dr. Espy, asserted roundly,
that these suits would never be tried—
that the ' , doctor knew better." —llls
friends in ordt.• to carry his election, as
serted that they would see that they
should be tried, and oui humble self was
led to be most vociferous in this cry.
The suits were hung up in court, until
last May, when they were "discontinued
by 'l'. S. Espy, attorney for the Plaintiftl"
thus furnishing additional proof to the
strung testimony already produced by the
editor of the Intelligencer, that Dr. Geo.
Espy, was guilty of FRAUD and PER
JURP—Of course, we as the advocate
of the doctrines of the democratic party,
and the friend of Dr Espy, when the can•
didate of that party, felt deeply milk

EDITORIAL SUMMARY.
The Hon. P. P. Barbour, one of the
Judges of the Supreme Court, was found
dead in his bed, at Washington, on the
morning of the 25th February. He had
retired to his bed the evening before in
perfect health. The speculation of poli
ticians is already awake, as to his succes
sor. It is generally supposed that Mr.
Van Buren will riot let the opportunity
pass of supplying his scat before the 4th
of March.
The House of Representatives have
allowed only 86000 for furniture of the
President's house. Gen. Jackson, at his
first term, got 819,000—and at his second
got $20,080. The Locos are very liberal::
THE LIBEL CASE.—Gen. Simon Cam
eron vs. A. J. Pleasonton, for a communi.,
cation published in Philadelphia, in March
last, relative to the Lancaster and Har
risburg Rail Road Company, has been de
cided— verdict, "Not Guilty!" Will
some of Guv, Porter's friends tell us why
Pleasonton was not pardoned before his
trial? We can answer—he was not the
"right stripe!'
THE LAST KICK.- Loco Focoism has
made its last kick at Washington. The
Senate of the U. S. have elected Bair anu
Rives printers for that Body, for the new
Congress. A rule was first established
by the Loco Feces, that each Congress
was the proper body to elect their own
printer. Now, when they find the power
leaving them, they have usurped the right
to elect for the next. We shall acknowl
edge ourselves mistaken, if the New
Congress does not attend to its own af
fairs.
Dr. English, one of the Editors of Met.
calf's Star, was attacked by some bully
ing diuggist, about 12 miles from Phila
delphia, with a cowhide and pistols. The
Dr. administered a bolus or two, that
completely removed the courage out of
the pill factor's carcass; and the young
corinthian returned home, satisfied that
the Dr. gal/9 striking testimony of his
ability to cure all such intiamatory fevers.
It is said that there will be an extra
session of Congress in May, and that
Gen. Harrison openly avows Lis intention
of calling that body together.
What would the people say of Gov.
Seward, of New York, should he pardon
McLeod before his trial? Honest Davy
i has set such an example.
A new plan to raise a revenue, is sug
gested by the Harrisburg Telegraph. It
is this, that the Governor be allowed to
sell pardons for all offences, past, present,
and to come. He has already granted a
prospective pardon to Hutter, the very
man who brought a suit against Sage, of
Lehigh, for telling the truth about Porter.'
It is true, however, that Porter forcot, or
neglected, to pardon Sage at that time,
although he is so desirous to secure the
Freedom of the Press. I f Porter is nom
inated, we think it is very likely we shall
apply fur a pardon in advance; because
we shall have some unpleasant truths to
tell, and the old law maxim, °the greater
the truth the greater the libel," will render
our case a very serious one, as Mr. Porter
is aware that the truth in his case is very
great!
John Strohm, of Lancaster, has - decli,

THE CABINET,
It is understoo I that Mr. Badge' has
accepted the position in the Cabinet ten—

All the gentlemen proposed have now,
we understand, accepted the several sta
tions for which they have been designated
the Cabinet is to be ,regarded cs comple
ted and settled.
We are happy In find that it meets the
general approbation of the Democratic
Whig press of the country. The selec•
lion of two members Trout the North, two
from the West, and two from the South,
will tend to conciliate sectional feeling,
anti give the whole country assurance
that no exclusive or partial spirit can
wholly control the councils of the Cabinet.
It bears another aspect, which exhibits
at once the sagacity and good intentions
of General Harrison. Two of the mem
bers of the the cabinet are from the Sen.
ate, two from the House of Representa
tives, and two from the mass of the people.

Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pills, in

of these celebrated Vegetable Universal
Pills not giving relief, and persevrance in
old, obstinate cases, is sure of making a
cure, provided nature is not entirely ex.
hausted. In consequence of the pleas
antness of their operation, they are uni
versally used in every section of this
wide extaidad country where they are
made known, and are fast superseding ev
ery other preparation of professed similar
import. Upwards of fourteen thousand
cases have been certified as cured solely
from their use since the introduction of
them into the United States, thus estab
lishing the fact beyond all doubt, that the
Brandreth Vegetable Universal Pills cure
the (apparently) most opposite diseases by
the one simple act of continually evacua
ting the bowels with them, until the dis.
ease gives way ; therefore, whatever may
be said of the theory, the utility of the
practice is now beyond all doubt.
