HUNTINGDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 1849
The Legislature
We invite attention to the review of the acts
of the Legislature, given in another column.—
Notwithstanding the difficulties which present
ed themselves during the session, and which it
was feared would prevent the passage of some
of the important measures presented by the
Whigs, the legislation of the past session will,
we firmly believe, prove more important and
beneficial to the• People than that of any Legis
lature which has assembled for the last twenty
years. The Revenue and Militia bills, are
manly acts of Legislation. All that the People
have to do, to reduce the State debt, and lighten
their taxes, is to return a majority of members
who will sustain Governor Johnston in his
efforts to produce these desirable results.
Pittsburg Scrip.
The brokers of Philadelphia have refused to
take this paper. Arrangements are however
making for its rdemption, and we would advise
holders not to sacrifice it. The business men
of Pittsburg still continue to take it.
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. -There was quite
a large meeting of the friends of the Pennsylva
nia Railroad, held at the Board of Trade Room,
on Wednesday evening, David S. Brown, Esq.,
in the chair, when Samuel C. Morton, Esq., in
troduced a series of resolutions, urging prompt
and energetic measures to secure tha early com
pletion of the road, and recommending a gen
eral public meeting of the city and county, to
take such measures as may effectually and
promptly fill up the amount required by the
company to push on the road to Hollidaysburg.
A committee of twelve was appointed to make
arrangements for such meeting, and another
committee of eight to solicit subscriptions to
the stock of the company, from the monied in
stitutions of the city. We trust the movement
may be an energetic one, and meet with abun
dant success.—Doily Natv.v.
THE NEW SCHOOL Lew.—The West Cheater
Village Retard of yesterday, in stating some of
the principal features of the amendments to the
School laws, says the directors are empowered
to levy a tax sufficient to keep the schools open
not more than ten months in each year. The
Schools are required to be kept open at least
four months in each year. The Treasurer of
the school fund is made the Collector of School
taxes. The Collector is to fix a time and place,
when and where he will receive the School
taxes, and is to receive two per cent. for col
lecting. If it is not paid at the time designated,
the constable is to collect it. Sub-districts are
not interfered with—where the committee of a
sub-district and the directors disagree in the
employment of a teacher, the people of the
sub-district have the right to elect a teacher,
who must, however, have been first examined
by the directors. All moneys subject to taxa
tion for State and county pnrposes, are made
subject to school tax. The State appropriation
of two hundred thousand dollars is continued ;
but it is not made the basis of taxation. The
people do not vote on the question of taxation.
The superintendent is required to furnish to
each School a copy of the new map of the State
of Pennsylvania, which by agreement with the
publishers are furnished at $3 each.
Militia Trainings.
We have not yet seen the act abolishing Mili
tia trainings, but see it stated that by it Volun
teer companies are encouraged and are to re
ceive fifty dollars when organized, and all able
bodied men between the ages of 21 and t 5 years,
who do not uniform and equip themselves and
join a volunteer company, are to pay a fine of
fifty cents annually, Every county is to form

Assistant Postmaster General.
The locofoco newspapers are indulging in 1
the most unwarrantable strictures on Col. War
ren, the Assistant Postmaster General, and in
an inveteracy of feeling somewhat unusual in
comments upon public men. They have devia
ted from the ordinary course of political war
fare, by endeavoring to injure his private rep
utation. The sum and substance of the char
ges made against him amount to this, and no
more—that lie was an active politician in his
own State, and that he once belonged to a firm
which failed in business. Ills capacity is not
denied—and if lie is to be hanged for having
been unfortunate, a large portion of every com
munity will have to look to the safety of their
necks. There is something unmanly and des
picable in this mode of assailing a public man,
' and we marvel that it is resorted to by persons
of respectable standing.
Washington House, Harrisburg.
The following deserved compliment is from
the Doily News :
We take peculiar pleasure in calling atten
tion to the card in another column, in relation
to the Washington House, Harrisburg, kept by
Col. Wm. T. Sanders. It is one of the best
hotels in the country, most conveniently situa
ted for travellers and visiters to Harrisburg,
and its landlord, Col. Sanders, is one of the
most obliging and hospitable of hosts. We cur
dially join in recommending it to all persons
visiting the capital of our State."

fulness of the portrait will be at once acknowl
edged :
The democratic party requires purgation.
There is too much rottenness and corruption
within it. It has blinked at deviations from
political rectitude so long that many seem to
think these deviations essentialities. There is
no security from contamination other thall by
lopping off the diseased members, and let that
be done soon and speedily."

the Ri• Grande.
THE PENNSYLVANIAN REBussm—The Penn
sylvanian, and its kindred, great and small, of
the Locofoco press in this State, have been en
deavoring to make political capital out of the
fact that one or two new judicial districts have
been created during the recent session of the
Legislature. It has been denounced by them
as a Whig measure—most unnecessary—and
one of unheard-of extravagance, designed solely
to throw patronage into the hands of the Exec
utive. Particularly was this the case in refer-
'e to the new district formed out of Berks
county. With how much justice these charges
are preferred, let the following extracts from
the Berks County Press answer. The Press
is edited by John C. Myers, who was a Loco
foco member of the Legislature; and speaking
of the passage of the bill, he says
• • • • It was not a party measure,
nor did any respectable man view it in that
light either in this county or at Harrisburg, but
men of all parties viewed it as a measure of
Inecessity, and we looked upon it as the only
remedy against the immediate division of the
I county. Mighty Berks was worthy of a Dis
trict of her own, the Legislature and the peo
ple said so, and we have yet to see the first man,
either Whig or Democrat, who has said one
word of opposition to it.
• • • • No one dreamed of voting for
or against the bill on party grounds, and no sen
sible man would place such a construction upon
a measure or a vote of this kind, and any at
tempt to put the color of party upon it will end
in disgrace to those who attempt it."
THE c , Moor:" on “Paoscarrnorr."—The
Polk Administration, says the Louisville Jour
nal "removed hundreds and hundreds of Whigs
merely on account of their political opinions;
and the editor of the Washington Union, who
all the wh,le was the government organ, never
uttered one word against the policy, but, on the
contrary, daily extolled, in general terms, all
acts of the Administration as eminently patri
otic and wise. It was his daily and hourly bu
sines to applaud every thing done by the Ad
ministration." But now this consistent old
gentleman not only preaches against ~ proscrip
tion," as he terms it, under pretence that he
was always opposed to it, but seeks to show
that such a course is in open violation of the
constitution.
Tim COLD WEATHER.-The cold weather ex
perienced here in the early part of last week
seems to have been felt with equal if not great
er severity farther south. In North Carolina
they had heavy frosts on Saturday and Sunday
nights, and on Sunday snow fell to the depth of
three inches. On Monday the ponds in the
neighborhood of Richmond •were covered with
ice. Serious apprehensions were entertained
that the fruit has been greatly injured.

Isaac P. Walker Rebuked.
The course pursued by Senator •Walker re
ceives but little sympathy in Wisconsin. On.
the 23d ult., while a motion to adjourn was pen
ding in the Wisconsin Senate, Mr. Horn, a hun
ker, wished to introduce a resolution in justifi
cation of Mr. Walker, but was refused: , .fan
the next day, Mr. Leland, a member of en
House, from Sank county, and Mr. Boyd, Sen
ator from Walworth county, (both locofocor)
severally introduced resolutions censuring Mr.
Walker for his treacherous course on the sla
very question, and requesting him to either con.
form to the wishes of his constituents, or re
sign his seat in the Senate; also, warmly uppr,
' viug the course pursued by Gov. Dodge." The
House resolution was referred to a committee of
three, and the Senate resolutions were, at the
request of Mr. Boyd,' laid on the table. Thd
Racine Advocate of the 28th ult., contains the
proceedings of a Free Soil Meeting, held at that
pLice, which denounced Mr. Walker as having,
disgraced the State." He is requested to re
sign the office he holds, his constituents con
sidering him dishonest, incapable, treacherous
and cowardly," The Racine county delegation
in the Legis'ature were requested to support and
urge the passage of resolutions accordant with
these views. The Advocate, and all the Whig
and Free Soil papers of the State are unani
mous in condemnation of Mr. Walker, alleging,
thathis re-election to the Senate was fraudu
lently obtained, and that his views on Slavery
are no better than those of Douglass, Dickinson,
Hanuegan and Cass.—[iv. l'. Tribune.
