Capftal Punishment,
An effort is again being made in our State Legis
lature to pass a law abolishing Capital Punishment;
and many of the good and orderly citizens of the
State arc greatly alarmed, fearing that thin awful
punishment—this "terror to evil-doers," which
stays, in some measure the ruthless arm of the
ruffian and the blood-thirsty, will be legislated out of
existence.
On Sunday night the Rev. Mr. Gibson preached
a sermon in the Presbyterian Church in this place,
against the abolition of the punishment of death;
and on Monday night another against the expedien
cy of the proposed substitute, imprisonment for
life. We did not hear the first sermon, but it has
been represented to us as a masterpiece of argu
ment. The latter sermon was a powerful, an irre
finable defence of the present law.
A remonstrance against the abolition of Capital
Punishment has been circulated in this place. It
is hoped that it will be numerously signed, and for
warded to the legislature without delay.
Ca• It is said that Mr. W EBSTER is engaged on a
history of the adoption of the Federal Constitution
and the administration of Washington, and that
senator Rives is preparing a history of Madison.

Washingtonian Lecture No: 4.
The fourth Lecture in the course was delivered
at the Old Court House on Saturday evening last,
by A. W. BENEDICT, Esq. Subject :—"The Dan
gers of Temptation." The lecturer fully sustained
his reputation in this lecture, and we with all oth
ers were not only pleased but edified. One of the
largest audiences we have had present at any of our
lectures were out, showings growing interest in this
excellent system. During a period of 45 minutes,
Mr. Benedict painted with glowing colors the dan
gen of temptation, and the safety of holding no
terms with the enemy. On the subject of temper
ance—total abstinence, as the only safe way of
avoiding the drunkard's woes and the drunkard's
end, he was peculiarly happy—whilst with scathing
eloquence he denounced the fiendish practices of
the liquor seller, in drawing the weak and the
resolute within his coils, to their own destruction.
We hope these lectures may continuo to be well
attended, and particularly by parents, and all hay
ing the care of youth, in forming the habits, and
guiding their footsteps along their pathway to man
hood, so that they may enter upon the duties of
life, prepared to encounter its temptations and trials•
Vice Presidency,—Hannar Denny.
By a reference to the ticket at the head of our
editorial columns, it will be seen that, in submission
to the popular voice, as expressed by our County
Meeting of the 10th inst., we have this week in
serted the name of Ihnmsa DENN r, in the place
of that of John Sergeant, for the Vice Presidency.
In making this change, we deem it proper to
state that our admiration of Mr. Sergeant's political
course has not diminished one jot or tittle since we
declared in his favor on the 18th of October last.—
We still consider him as one of Pennsylvania's
most worthy sons—one whose political creed has
remained sound and been inflexibly adhered to, in
storm and in sun-shine—through evil as well as
through good report; and if it should be his fortune
to receive the nomination by the National Conven
tion, we would most cheerfully contribute our feeble
aid to the advancement of the firm, unwavering
Patriot and Statesman of Philadelphia. But for
the present, we deem it our duty to abide by the
will of the people of this county. Harmer Denny'
is their first choice: and as we wish but to speak
the popular sentiments, we have inscribed his name
{ upon our banner. We know Mr. Denny to be one
of Pennsylvania's most worthy eons—honest and
capable—in whom the people of the Union may
safely confide; and if he shall prove to be the choice
of the Baltimore Convention, he shall receive our
most hearty support.
Correspondence of the "Journal."
HAnnisarno, Jan. 20, 1844.
T. H. CnEmzu,
Dear Sir:—lt would be vain for
me to profess to give you:a tolerable description of the
doings in the State Legislature, as nothing of im
portance is yet before it. The Investigating Com
mittee has progressed very slowly; their sessions
ceased on last Wednesday night, not to be returned
till Monday next. It was believed by many, that
nothing could be done nor any conclusion arrived
at by investigating the conduct of the State Prin
ters, but since that Investigating Committee has
taken such a wide range as to inquire into the con
duct of D. R. Porter, many of whose former friends
would almost sink the Commonwealth, if by so
doing they could send the Governor to perdition
with it, and whilst we have some strong Whigs on
the Committee, who have neither the principle nor
temptation to heal the moral leprosy slightly, it is
my opinion that a scene of corruption will again be
exposed in perfect keeping with the mode of dis
charging official duty in this place for the last six
years—the Whigs however, as a party, have nothing
to loose in this contest, which seems to he, whether
the Executive or State Printers ate the greatest
rogues; but they can stand back as the woman did
whilst her husband was fighting the Bear,not caring
very much which should get the worst of the fight.
But as citizens of Pennsylvania, they must feel a
keen sensibility, to find her honor tarnished, her
credit prostrated at home and abroad to such a de.
gree, that she cannot borrow the small sum of ten
dollars in any emergency. And although they
cannot do any thing at present, they know that if
ever our State is to rise from its present state of
poverty and degradation, they have to do it. And
since we discover that the Locofocos are wasting
their ill employed strength in internal war, it is
high time for the Whigs to begin to devise sonie
, plan by which they may again put the wheels of
Government into proper action, and after having
been either inoperative or running wrong for six
years, perhaps the first inquiry should be, who is
capable and honest enough to take the helm in such
a state of thinga, and help a generous people once
more to raise their heads and show the world that
they are anti-Repudiators. Now sir, though I
am but one of the many thousands of poor old
Pennsylvania's oppressed citizens, I suppose it is
my right to give an opinion in this case, and I can
do it with less diffidence than if I stood alone, which
is not the case, for it seems that a voice has exten
ded from the centre to the circumference of the
State proclaiming loudly that Gen. JAM. lavrx is
the very man, and that his financial powers, unim
peachable honesty, and great popularity, to say
nothing about his able defence of Pennsylvania
principles in Congress, and his great success in the
Gerrymandered District at the last election, all of
which constrain the people to ask the delimits' to
nominate the man whom they delight to honor.—
Let us have HENRY CLAY and Gen. JAMES
IRVIN at the election of 1844, and we can redeem
the United States and Pennsylvania Government.
Yours, &c.
H. C. B.
cd-Col. John Sloane, Secretary of State, of
Ohio, has been mentioned by come of the Whig
papers of that State, as a suitable candidate for
Governor.

Speaking.
The U. S. Gazette of Saturday last contains the
following, which we at once endorse.
Last autumn, our city and county readers will
recollect, there was a series of Whig meetings in
the city and county, in which the great questions
of Whig policy were freely canvassed, and brought
home to the people. The result was a better under
standing of the arguments, and tranore extensive
adoption of the principles. Might not this fact in
duce our friends to adopt similar moans of awaken
ing the people throughout the State in the approach
ing canvass? Pennsylvania abounds in good
speakers. We see few who exceed them. They
know their fellow-citizens, and know how to ap
proach them. What, then, is wanted, is the selec
tion of men to do the good work. Can this be bet
ter done than by nominating as candidates for Pres
idential Electors, men known as good public spea
kers? And let it be understood that they shall
make it a part of the honors of their appointment,
to address the people of their own district at least,
going from township to township, as meetings may
be called, and stirring up the Whigs to good works
by good words, and acquainting men of all parties
with the nature of the principles which they pro
fess, and the character and abilities of the men
whom they would have elected to the two highest
offices in the gift of the people. Such a course
would_ have a tendency to promote the objects of
the Whig party--to induce the people to vote cor
rectly on correct principles.
Unfortunate Occurrence.
Many of our citizens were engaged during the
day yesterday in shingling the roof of the Club
House. At sun-down, when they were about to
cease work, Mr. S. F. Adie, standing near the cen
tre of the roof, commenced announcing the order of
proceedings for the next day, and nearly all present
gathered around him to hear. The weight was too
much for the slender support beneath them—the
roof gave way, and the whole were precipitated to
the ground, a distance of about twenty-five or thirty
feet. Fortunately no person was killed, but a great
many were injured—some very much. A number
of small boys were on the roof, and they were more
injured than the men. We arrived on the spot
after many were carried off the ground, and could
not learn the names of all most injured.
Mr. Adie had an arm broken in two places; Mr.
Robt. Maynard his leg broken ; Mr. Mays, butcher,
had his arm dislocated. Mr. H. W. Fry was cut
in the face and hurt otherwise. Dr. Lemosey was
considerably bruised. Mr. Ned Allen was much
hurt. Other gentlemen were less injured.
The little boys suffered very much. Mr. S. H.
Myer's little son had his arm broken in two places.
One of Mr. Gnome's sons had his arm broken. Mr.
Walsh's 2 sons much injured; (one of them his
leg broken,) and his brother considerably hurt.—
Others whose names we did not learn, were much
hurt, more than one having an arm broken.
The occurrence created great excitement—exag
gerated rumors fiew like wild fire over the city,
and an immense crowd gathered at the House.—
The liveliest sympathy was evince for the suffer
en, end every attention their cases required, was
Promptly rendered.—Richmond Whig.
crj.. In noticing the above serious disaster, a con
temporary remarks that we must not allow such an
event to be regarded as ominous of evil. The I/14h
is, the people, old and young, were in the wrong
place. What right have 'Whigs, Clay Whigs, real
working men, to get above their business.
ATTEMPT TO PASS A COUNTESPEIT
The Philadelphia papers state that on Saturday
night a man dressed in the garb of what is termed a
' fresh water sailor,' went into the apothecary store of
Mr. J. T. Ituffnal,at the corner of Christian and Front
streets, and offered a $5 note, purporting on its face
to be issued by the Bank of Doylstown, in payment
of some articles he had purchased. Mr. 11. left his
store a few moments, in order to get the note chan
ged, and when he returned, his customer had ab
sconded. The note is dated January 3d, 1844,
letter 13, and is made payable to Thomas Willing.
It is signed B. Byrena, Cashier—W. Wilson, Presi
dent. The vignette represents a female with an
infant in her arms. On the bottom of the note is
an engraving of a train of railroad cars.
YOU ' RE MT PIIIIIONEIC-Decidedly the best
joke we have heard for some time past was played
off upon a constable in the western part of this .
State. He started out to arrest a person who had
often evaded pursuit, but who, he was informed,
was at that time engaged in a neighboring corn field.
The constable, wishing to take him by surprise,
took a roundabout direction, scaling the barns,
sheds and fences, until opposite, when squatting
low, he crawled stealthily along and at last pounced
upon his victim, clenching him firimly round the
waist, exclaiming You're my prisoner.' Imagine
his mortification when, upon a more minute inspec
tion, his prisoner proved to be a scarecrow—Buffalo
Gazette.
A HARD Cots.—A poor negro at Ann Arbor,
Michigan, was recently convicted of stealing an old
pair of stockings, worth 50 cents, and thereupon sen
tenced by Judge Withcrell to five yeari' hard labor
in Me Slate Prison ! The New York Tribune says:
In that State, the most villainous seduction and
adultery are no crimes, and there are men influential
and honorable who arc well known to have made
fortunes by fraudulent banks and other genteel
swindling. A hard world this, for little rascals.
A CLERGYMAN IN THE SZNATE.-Noticing the
fact that the Rev. Mr. Colquitt, of Ga„ was to
preach in ono of the Methodist Churches of Wash-
ington on the 14th, the Now York Express says:—
The preacher alluded to is a Senator of the Uni
ted States. At home, he has been known to preach
a sermon, try a case in court, as advocate, sit on a
reference, marry a couple, christen a child, and
make a stump-speech—all between sunrise and bed
time, in one day !"
Q'j The Philadelphia Inquirer says, "a Wash.
ington letter mentions a rumor that the President is
about to " annex" a wife.
Zenry'Clay.
The following beautiful tribute to Mr. Clay, we
extract from the admirable speech of Rev. Capere,
of Barbour, delivered at a Whig Convention in
Alabama:
" I have insinuated, sir, that the temple of liberty
has been shaken to its very base, by the genius of
this thing called democracy. And who doubts it?
Who has forgotten the scenes of 1831 '2, when the
sound of the drum was heard in Carolina, her plains
covered with the armies of Andrew the Great, and
her coasts lined with his frigates of war. What
patriot heart beat not with painful anxiety, when
the issue was suspended on an appeal to Congress?
The appeal was made—it was rejected—the genius
of democracy reigned in the temple of liberty, and
instead of an armistice, the Bloody Force Bill pas
sed. The tocsin of war sounded throughout the
capitol, and the armies of Government were com
manded to bow the traitors' or exterminate them'
from the home of their fathers. Sir it was an event- 1
ful hour--the old lion of democracy howling for
the blood of freemens' sons--and the goddess of
Liberty weeping over the scene ! It was indeed an
eventful hour—one fell blow, and a conflict ensues
which dissolves the Union, and spreads death and
desolation throughout the land. In the eventful
moment, the visage of the careworn majestic being
appeared, on whose brow seemed to be suspended
the ponderous weight of liberty and the Union,
when lo ! a voice as from the ghost of Washing
ton exclaimed—" Save the Union! 'twas purchas
ed with the tears and blood of your fathers !"--
'Twos CLAY, sir, that matchless statesman,—Clay!
bearing in one hand the olive branch of peace; and
in the other the sword of truth and liberty, he ap
proached the altar consecrated to liberty--there he
laid his offering and there, with that burning, im
passioned eloquence, congenial with his exalted na
ture--in the name of liberty, and in the name of
the blood-stained spirits who purchased it, he bade
the daring sons of democracy sheath their swords
and not wreak them in the blood of their brothers.
His mandate was obeyed; the old Lion of Democ
racy crouched in his lair—peace was restored, and
the Union saved.
Mr. President, my heart recurs to the scenes of
that eventful hour with emotions unutterable, and
when it shall cease to beat with the warmest pulsa
tions of moral approbation for the matchless actor
in that great drama of my country's liberty, let me
receive the oxecrationsof my country, and the curse
of my country's God. I said it then, sir, and I say
it now, fearless of contradiction, that such an in
stance of the power of mind over the daring pas
sions of despotism was never before exhibited to
the world. The edict was passed—the bloody war
rant signed—the old lion of democracy grasped it
in his paw—but one stroke of that overpowering
eloquence beforb which kings tremble and despots
bow, made the hero of New Orleans quake on his
throne, and restrore to the polluted altar of liberty,
the blood-stained edict which he had seized with
delight. I repeat it sir, such an instance of the
power of mind over the daring passions of despot
ism had never before been exhibited to the world.
There was a wreath of civic renown—a halo of
immortal glory around the brow of Henry Clay in
that hour which presents him in bold relief as the
greatest orator, the purest patriot, and the most
magnanimous statesman in the universe. Talk of
Calhoun, sir, as the great Hercules of mind and
spirit—great indeed are the powers of Hercules, but
great as Hercules is, the lion of democracy had him
bound in cords of hemp; and whetting his bloody
fangs, he was ready to tear the Herculean giant into
a thousand atoms.
Talk of Webster as the great master spirit of the
age—great indeed is Webster—but Webster was
there, sir, and great as he is, he had not the heart to
approach the open jaws and bloody fangs of the
howling lion, and bid him stay his wrath. 'Twas
reserved for the noble daring of Clay to do the
deed, and it was done."
Flattery.
The following sensible advice was given by the
venerable Ex-President Adams, to the young ladies
at Miss Poster's Seminary, of Washington, Pa.—
We publish it for the benefit of our female readers:
" My mother taught me the lessons I have never
forgotten upon religion and morals. She taught
me also to revere woman, but never to flatter her.—
It is not unusual, in the intercourse ofman with the
other se :x—more especially for young men—to
think. that, the way to win the hearts of ladies is by
flattery. To love and revere the sex, is what I
think the duty of man—but not to flatter them;
and this I would say to the young ladies here; and
they and others present, will allow me, with all the
authority which nearly fourscore years may have
with those who have not yet attained one score—l
would say to them, what I have no doubt they say to
themselves, and are taught here, not to take flat
tery of man as proof of affection."
A Local' MT.—An uneducated young convert
—not a thousand miles from Boston, and "not a
thousand years ago—in his maiden exhortation,
gave one of Hamlet's beautiful and moving solilo
quies very effectively. His admiring listeners, not
having been very deeply read in Shakspeare, mis
took the quotation from the Bard of Avon,' for the
extemporaneous outpouring of the young man's
own heart ; and, thinking that so much talent ought
not to lie hid under a bushel, at once resolved to
finish his education at their own expense. They
accordingly did so; and, he that was once a wild,
thoughtless youth, is now as learned and eloquent a
preacher as can be found in New England—thanks
to that soliloquy, 'and to the ignorance of those
who were edified by his first etfott oratorical—Bos-
I ton Transcript.
MORE TRUTH THAR Porrna.—The ]✓. H. Tele
graph is of the opinion that an editor who cannot
stop right in the middle of one of the finest trains
of thought that he is patting on paper, to minute
the dimensions of a huge pumpkin, or write an ad
vertisement for a dog lost, to enter the name of a
new subscriber, or receive pay for an old one, to
take a cowhiding for something he has said, or a
blowing up for something ho has not said, and after
all resume the thread of his discourse,' and carry
out the idea in its original force and beauty, is next
to no editor at all.'
Mr. M'Kennan's Declination--
Positive.
We observe by the Washington Reporter, that
the Hon. T. H. T. M'Ksztrtsx, who has been fa
vorably spoken of in every part of the State as the
Whig Candidate for Governor, " will in no possi
ble contingency allow his name to be used for that
office," and has desired the Editor of the Reporter
"to reiterate this deliberately formed and irreversi
ble determination."
cO" A Western paper asks the following imper-
tinent question : " Is it a breach of etiquette to ask
the loan of two dime. from a friend to whom you
ant already largely indebted,"
SINOVLAII.-Maine, it is remarked by the Bel
fast Chronicle, has had five Governors within a year,
four of them within as many days. Gov. Fairfield
resigned, having been elected U. States Senator,
Gov. Kavanagh, then President of the Senate, sue
deeded him ; he resigned on the 2d instant, and was
succeeded by Gov. Dunn, as Speaker of the House ;
he was superseded by Gov. Dana, the newly elec
ted President of the Senate; and he was superse
ded finally by Gov. Anderson, elected by the people.
VEGETABLE INSTINCTS.-M. Payen, a French
physiologist, lately read a paper before the Paris
Academy of Sciences, on the tendency of the roots
of plants to avoid the light. He had made an elab
orate series of experiments, all showing that the
roots of plants uniformly avoid the light with as
strong an effort as the stalk, or stem, and all the
parts of plants above ground seek it.
Burrus—We understand that Dr. Lambert, in
a lecture in Boston, a few evenings since, came out
in defence of these much abused appendages to the
human form divine.' His reason for favoring them
was, briefly, that their use was connected wills a
relaxation of the pressure on the chest produced by
tight lacing, at the same time preserving the sym
metry of the form.—Salem Observer.

WISTAR'S BALSAM Op WILD CIIERRY.-This
article, as its name indicates, is a chemical extract
of Wild Cherry. It is simple and harmless in its
effects—yet it is more efficacious in obstinate
Coughs, Athma, Croup, Consumption and Liver
Complaint, than any other medicine known to man.
It has effected many marvellous cures--having
more the appearance of mimics than the effect of a
natural remedy. The active ingredients of this
balsam, the Extract,' is not, and cannot be known
or made by any but the inventor. Hence it is in
vain to try remedies that fail m their object as often
as they are used.

The subject of this memoir, was the daughter of
the late John and Mary M'Kention, of this place.
She was called in early life to suffer many trials of
a peculiar kind. She was called to mourn the loss
of a father and mother, five brothers and tour sis
ters, (all except her father died with the consump
tion.) a husband and an only child, being left a
viiilow in the 21st year of her age. Nor was her
cup of affliction yet full. Since her marriage with
him who now mourns her loss, she has witnessed
(he departure of two of her children, a son and
daughter, from the scene of earthly existence;
--yet, notwithstanding her many trials and bereave
ments, she bore all with unusual fortitude, and her
mind remained unshaken to the last. Her thoughts
were directed to the subject of Religion, soon after
the death of her first husband, from which time she
continued alternately to hope and fear, until within
a few months before her death, when she gave her
self up to the Lord, and by faith received an evi
dence of her acceptance with him, which shone with
increasing brightnees to the hour of her dissolution,
when she departed in triumph to dwell with him
forever. Her acquaintance in that section of the
country were but limited, but she was only known
to be beloved.
