FOR THE PRESIDENCY IN 1852,
WINFIELD SCOTT
OF NEW JERSEY.
FOIL VICE PRESIDENT IN 1852,
JAMES C. JONES,
OF TENNESSEE.
The editor has been indisposed for several
days, and we, the printers, pressed with an unu
sual amount of job work; which, we hope, our
readers will accept as a sufficient apology fur any
deficiency in the editorial department.
er We invite the attention of oar readers to a
large number of now advertisements in to-day'S
paper. We had intended to notice tliem sepa
rately, but find that wo have neither time nor
space. Persons who advertise deserve to be pa
tronized, and wo wish all those who have given
such solid proof of their kindness to us much suc
cess in their various vocations.
The Veto,
In another column of to-day's paper the reader
will find the message of our worthy and excel
lent Governor, containing his objections to the
bill for the regulation of Judicial Districts, &c.
It is unnecessary to say anything in justification
of the course of the Governor in reference to this
measure; for all will admit that en honest guar
dian of the people's rights end interests, which
he has ever proven himself to he, could adopt no
other course. In this instance we have addition
al evidence of the watchful care with which ho
has ever guarded and protected the interests of
the people who have honored him with their con
fidence; of his wisdom and sagacity in detecting
wrong, and his unflinching firmness and determi
nation in opposing it.
The principal objection of the Governor is
based upon a palpable violation of the Cortstitu ,
Lion, by the article abolishing the old and thne
honored custom of selecting our Associate Judges
from the mass of the people, and substituting in
its stead a provision for the appointment of men
"learned in thelate." Thus the farmer, the me- -
chanie, the merchant, and the laboring man were
to be excluded, to make room fur certain limbs of
the law, whose claims are based upon the fact
that they can boast of having road a few pages
of the works of a certain individual called Black
stone.
There are other serious and important objec
tions to the bill, which, as the Governor remarks,
may have resulted from an oversight on the part
of the projectors of the measure. The only ob
ject of these men seems to have been to fix op a
district for His Honor Judge Black, and thereby
reconcile this would-be great man to his defeat
so a candidate fur the U. S. Senate, and prevent
him from interfering in the nomination for Gov
ernor.. Their precaution in reference to the nom
ination fur Governor, we opine, will avail them
nothing, for old 13111 Johnston is destined to fill
the Executive chair during the next term, and
will beat Col. Bigler, Judge Black, or any other
Locofuco nag they may determine to trot out
against him.
Wiry In Cassvine.
A fire occurred in the village of Cassrille, in
this county, on the 21st inst., which entirely de
stroyed the dwelling house, shop and stable, of
Mr. Hiram Greenland. Mr. Greenland was a
saddler and lost all the tools, leather, &c., which
the shop contained, together with a large quantity
of household furniture. The loss is estimated at
about one thousand dollars. It is not known
how the fire originated.
Liability of Newspaper Subscribers.
In the Philadelphia C0i1.% of Common Pleas.
on Wednesday, Judge Kelley on the Bench, the
case of Philip R. Frees vs. Jacob Huns was tried,
which was an action to recover the subscription
price of the Germantown Telegraph for twelve
Seers. The paper was left at a public house in
the vicinity of the defendant's stall, in Callowhill
street, (the defendant being a butcher at the time,)
at the express direction of Mr. Baas, where it
continued to be left for the spare of time stated.--
The defence was two-fold-- st, the statute of lim•
itations ; id, that the paper should have bees left
At the residence of the defendant, as it was known
to the plaintiff: W. S. Price for plaintiff; F. C.
Brightly for defendant.
Judge Kelley charged the jury, that where a
person subscribes for a paper, and gives directions
where it shall be left, he is hound to pay for it,
unless he prescribes the time fur whi,:lt it shall be
left. If a subscriber wishes to discontinue his pa
per, it is his duty to square his accounts, and thcn
give notice fora discontinuanc.. If a paper I.
sent to a person through the Post Office, and ho
takes it out he is bound to pay for it. If a sub
scriber changes his residence, it does not follow
that the carrier must take notice of it, and a de
li Very of the paper, at the place where he was first
directed to leave it, is a delivery to the subscriber,
unless the publisher receives notice to discontinue
or send it to another place. The sutute of lim
itations did not affect the case, as the defendant
had paid something on account in June, 1844.
Vercliet for j,ltintiff, $22,64.
Cr The following resolutions, in addition to
those published last week, were adopted at the
great Scott meeting held in this plice, but, by
some mesas or other, were overlooked or mis
laid, and consequently did not appear in the pro
ceedings:
Resolved, That we have unshaken confidence
in the ability, integrity and patriotism of Presi
dent Fillmore and his Cabinet, and as a Whig
Administration we are proud to point to it.
Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting are
due to R. A. M'Murtrie, our Senator, and Wm.
B. Smith and Seth R. M'Cune, our Kcpresenta•
tivos in the last Legislature, for their care and
industry during an arduous and trying session.
a- Mechanics mill perceive, by reference to
another column, that there is a chance for a fine job
in Shirleysburg—the Seminary buildings. At
tend to it in time.
Caswellle Seminary.
We this week publish a communication in fa
vor of establishing a Seminary in the village of
Cassville, in this county, and we heartily concur
with the writer in all that he advances in refer
ence to the advantages of the place for such an
institution. There are but few places in this sec
tion of country better ealculatcd for the establish
ment of an institution of learning than the pleas
ant little village of Cassville, and should the pro
ject succeed, we have no doubt it would be well
sustained.

Another Block.
We see it stated that there is a movement on
foot among the different binder tribes of the fur
Western Indians, to unite in contributing a mem
orial to the government in the shape of a block
of stone for the Washington Monument.
The design, says the Ottown Free Trader, has,
been, we believe, so far consummated already as
to render it nearly certain that the material is to
be procured from the celebrated "Starved Rock"
in this State; the Indians having no land they can
call their own, to obtain it from—and the inscrip
tion it is to bear, when finished, has been decided
upon. It is simple, but expressive, as conveyed
in the following characteristic terms:

Sleeping after dinner, according to Dr. Combo,
Is a bad practice. He says on awakening from
such indulgence there is generally some degree of
febrile excitement, in consequence of the latter
stages of digestion being hurried on; it is only
001%1 in old people, and in some cases of diseases.
Sleep becomes wholesome only to the healthy
when taken at those hours pointed out by nature;
an excess of it produces lassitude and corpulency,
and utterly debases and stithifies the mind. Cur
-1 pulent people should sleep little and upon hard
beds, while they should take abundance of exer
cise rind live abstemiously, that their unhealthy
bulk may be reduced.

Lebanon Kidnapping Case.
The case of the Commonwealth vs. John San

upon the * charge of kidnapping certain negroes
claimed as staves in the State of Maryland, was
tried at the late term of the Lebanon county
Court. The indictment contained fourteen dif
ferent counts, tut the jury acquitted the party on
all the counts contained in the indictment, and
brought in a verdict of " guilty of assault and
battery," as offence not charged against them.—
Tim verdict was received by the associates in the
absence of the President Judge, but will of

For the Huntingdon Journal.
The Cassville Seminary.
Mn. EDITOR wish to say to the people of
this community, through your excellent paper,
that we are taking stock at fifty &liars a shore,
for the purpose of erecting an institution of learn
ing, embracing the education of both male and
female, in the vicinity of Cassville. The proper
ty to be owned and held by the stockholders, who
are to realize the proceeds thereof; the educa
tional departments, however, will come under the
supervision of the Baltimore Conference.
Permit me to say to the friends of education,
that a more suitable location for a school of this
kind is not tc, be found in all the country. It is
in the centre of a large community over which
Methodism exerts a very considerable influence,
which is destitute of any institution of this kind.
It lies some ten miles from the Juniata river, Con
sequently is free from all malarious influences,
and well adapted to health. It is also blessed
with a plentiful supply of good cold water.
The town being smaU and the citizens industri
ous and moral, there would not bo those induce
ments for the students to practice vicious habits,
found in larger towns, and which too often enam
our young men and decoy them from the pursuit
of their studies. It is also in a plentiful country,
where board can be had very cheap, which will
enable almost every young man and young lady,
if so disposed, to obtain a good education, Tak
ing every thing into consideration we are of opin
ion that there is not a more suitable place in this
section of the conntry for the development of the
physical, moral and intellectual man.
Considerable more than half the stock is already
taken, and we think the friends favorable to the
cause need not hesitate to take the balance, as it
will in all probability yield a handsome por cent
age of interest on the money they advance for
the erection of the building. The money will be
paid in instalments.

shares can address Bev. J. N. Spangler, Cass

Wor!Ws Fair Difficulty,
A new difficulty has arisen in the glass palace
for the World's Pair. During a violent shower
many panes of glass were broken, and all the spar
rows in Hyde Park and St. James' Park availed
themselves of the opportunity to enter. It is es
timated that there arc at least a hundred thousand
of these birds in the building, and much alarm is
entertained lest they should damage the goods and
annoy visitors. To get rid of them is no easy
matter. To shoot them would be destruction to
the glass-, and the Council of Supervision have
sent to Edinburgh for thirty of the best falconers
who will come to London in their natural cos
tume. The chase is to commence some days be
fore the exhibition.
Gen. Seel* in Wisconsin.
A numerously signed call for a meeting of the
friends of GEN. SCOTT in Milwankie, appears in
the Sentinel of that city. The object is to adopt
such measures as may be advisable for the pur
pose of presenting Gen. Scott's name to the peo
ple of Wisconsin as a candidate for the Presiden
cy. The Sentinel, one of the oldest whig papers
in the west, warmly approves of the Movement,

wankie, thus significantly speaks of theitall
THE SCOTT MOVEMENT.—A meeting is called
in this city to-morrow evening to obtain an ex

were signed for the Taylor meetings—not by
Whigs merely, but by democrats also. It is not to
be denied that among the body of the people, a
very good feeling exists towardb the Conquerer of
Mexico.; but whether to carry votes - sufficient for

From Havana..
The steamer Prometheus brings dates front Ha
vana to the 15th of April. The whole island of
Cuba was excited by reports of military expedi
tions from the United States. An express hav
ing arrived at Havana from Mariol a place some
forty miles off, with information that a heavy can
noning had been beard off that •port, movements
of troops commenced immediately: Lopez's name
was in everybody's mouth, and the " eXpetlition"
was-deelarcd to be already within ten miles of the
city. The excitement proceeded from the capture
of a slaver, or one suspected to be such, by a'
British Crubier ; the' slaves, it is said, having been
safely landed before she' was attatked.
A Havana letter of the 13th, in the N. Y. Ex
press, says—
By the latest news from . New Orleans, we are
informed that the embureation of the Cuban expe
dition will take place at New Orleans anti Gal
veston between the 20th and 25th inst. Thaprob ,
ability of invasion is discussed freely by all par
ties, and there arynany who are foolish enough to
believe that an immediate descent is inevitable.—
Havana is in the greatest state of excitement from
the Captain General down to the cartineu ; nod
although the Island is sowell fortified and occu
pied with troops, the Spaniards look forward with
fear and trembling to the coming of the Lope't ex
pedition.
Exemption of Property.
An act passed by the late Legislature of this
State, defines what kinds of property shall he ex
empted front taxation, and reduces the quantity
of exempt property. It provides that all real or
personal property owned by an association or in
corporated company, which has been by previous
legislation exempt front taxation, other than that
which is in their actual use and occupation—and
from which an income or revenue is derived by
its owners--shall hereafter be subject to taxation
in the same manner, and for all the purposes for
which other property is now by law taxable. It
alsoppeald all former conflicting laws, and pro
vides for the taxation of all cemeteries.
GrTho Mint is hammering away at the Three
Cent Pieces and we may soon expect to see them
"about." They will certainly displace a large
proportion of our present huge copper currency,
end will be very handy for change.
MESS AGE
FROM TILE GOVERNOR, STATING HIS
OBJECTIONS TO THE JUDICIAL DIS
TRICT BILL.
To the Honorable, the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the Commonwealth of Penn'a :
GENTLE:Am:I—The bill entitled "An act to
provide for the election of Judges of the several
Courts of this Commonwealth, and to regulate
,certain Judicial Districts," which has just been
presented for my approval, contains some features
so ohjectional in their character, and bears such
marks of hasty mid inconsiderate legislation, that
I feel myself bound to withhold the Rxecutive
sanction to its passage, and return it with my ob
jections to the Ilouse of Representatives, in which
it originated; •
In the judicial history of Pennsylvania it never
has been considered essentild to select gentlemen
learned in the law to act as Associate Judges.—
The Presidents of the several Courts of Common.
Pleas were required to be learned in the lase; but
early usage, sanctioned by various acts of Assem
bly, had established the practice of the Executive
to make the selection of Associate Judges indis
criminately from the people, and had never con
fined the choice of the appointing power to the
legal profession. The amendment to the second
section of the fifth article of the Constitution,
gave additional sanction to the practice, as it
clearly distinguishes between those Judges requir
ed to be " learned in the last," and the Associate
Judges of the respective counties. I ate unable
to see any good reason for restricting the choice
of the people to a peculiar class of• men, nor can
I believe that in adopting the amendment to the
Constitution by their votes, the people intended
to restrain themselves in a manner unknown in
the history of our State. The bill presented for
my approval clearly contains a provision to that
effect. The third section provides " that the
Judges of the Supreme Court, and the President
Judges and the Associate Judges of the District
Courts of the city and county of Philadelphia,
and of the county of Allegheny, and of the Court
of Common Pleas of the said city and county of
Philadelphia, and of all other Courts of Record,
shall be learned in the law ; and all the aforesaid
judges shall be qualified electors of this Com•
monwealth, and shall be otherwise qualified as
required by the second section of the fifth article
of the Constitution of this Commonwealth."
The language of this section is so plain and un
equivocal that comment is unnecessary and can
scarcely add to its elucidation. It cannot be
doubted but that every Court of Common Pleas
is a Court of Record. In looking through our
various acts of Assembly and the provisions of
the Codstitntion, I find a settled meaning given
to the words " learned in the law," when applied
to Judges, and however desirable it may be to
have our courts composed of men learned in the
law, such a restriction of choice on the constitu
tional power of the people transcends the author
ity of the Legislature; and whether this provis
ion in the bill was inserted by design, or through
inadvertence, duty requires me to withhold my
sanction from. a law which comes in direct conflict
with the Constitution, and does violence to the
wishes and intentions of the citizens.
The eleventh section of the bill provides " that
the Governor shall issue commissions to the per
sons elected," to hold their respective offices from
and after the first Monday in December noxt fol
low•ing such election, fur and during their respec
tive terms of office, as prescribed and limited by
the second section of the fourth article of the Con
stitution of this Commonwealth."
The section referred to provides for the mode
of condfteting impeachments before the Senate,
and certainly furnishes no guide or reference to
the substance, or form, or extent of the duration
of a commission to be issued. Ido not compre
hend the reason or propriety of its insertion. It
may be a mistake on the part of the clerks, or an
inadvertence and wrong reference, but whether it
arose from either, it presents a case of hasty and
incOnsideratelegielation, calling for correction.
The sixteenth section or the bill provides that
the counties of Huntingdon, Blair, Cambria awl
Indiana, shall form the sixteenth Judicial district,
and further provides that the courts of Indiana
shall be held on the third Mondays in January,
April, August and November, and in the county
of Huntingdon, on the days, and to continue the
time now prescribed bylaw. By the existing
laws, the courts in the last named county are re
quired to be held on the second Mondays in*Janu
ary, April, August and November, and to contin
ue two weeks, which will bring into direct conflict
the counties of Huntingdon and Indiana. Al.
though this is undoubtedly a mere oversight on
the part of the Legislature, it amounts, in effect,
to a denial of justice to the people of one or the
other of these counties. It furnishes another in
stance of the hasty manner in which the bill was
gotten up.
With a view of diminishing the expenses of the
Commonwealth, and for more effectually equaliz
ing the labor of the Judges, I recominended in the
annual message a reduction of the number of ju
dicial. &Met, The present hill, it is trtm, has
dispensed with ono of the judicial districts, bits so
tier as I can ascertain the amotmt or business in
the respective counties, it has to a still greater ex
tent rendered the htbor of the Judges unequal.—
Little benefit can arise to the public treasury from
such partial changes us the present bill contem
plates, while in thd alteration of their judicial
connections, and the times of holding their courts,
great delay and injustice to the people may be
the consequence.
I pressed neon the Legislatttre the propriety
and necessity of early action on all important
public measures demanding their attention, and if
any inconvenience arises from the Salute to leg
islate on this subject, I shall feel absolved from
all blame an.l responsibility. A Stir and just ar
rangement of the judicial districts of the whole
State, will most- heartily meet my sanction, if it
reduces the number of the districts and lessens the
charges on the Treasury. lied the subject been
acted on at an earlier period In the session, it is
quite probable, nay, almost certain, that the er
rors to which I have adverted, would have been
avoided ; or at all events, leisure would have been
afforded for their correction.
Whether any legislation takes place or not, the
Constitution sulimentially provides Air an election
to ho held by the people, to make choice of their
Judges, and I shell omit no effort to carry the
constitutional provision into full effect. There yet
remains sufficient time to pass a law making the
necessary provision for the manner of voting for
the respective officers, and regulating the proper
manner of making the necessary returns.
There are other objections to the bill, and par
ticularly to the arrangement of other districts,
which it is now unnecessary to state.
WM. F. JOHNSTON.
Exaertm ell A MIMIC,
April 14th. 1851.
General Scott.
Every mita brings us additional evidence of the
rapid and far spreading enthusiasm which is felt in
favor of nominating the veteran hero and patriot,
General Winfield Solt, as n candidate for the Pres
idency. The Whig press is very generally ex
pressing its preference of him on the ground of his
freedom from extreme partizan or sectional politi
cal opinions and attachment's, as Neil as in con
sideration of his great public services, and long,
tried devotion to'his country. The Chelsea, Mass.,
Telegraph, noticing the editorial of the New Bed
ford bfercuryirecommending General Scott as a
candidate, wheels into line with thar paper in the
following decided langnge:
We have carefully watched the tone of popular
opinion in regard to the next Presidential election
in New England; and'are - satisfied that whatever
may be the designs of wire pellets, in regard to the
matter, the great mass of 'sea tang Whigs' are
ready to march to victory under the banner of
General Scott. The people honor him for his de
votion to his country, for his noble services, for
his many virtues ; and from their bands, st•o doubt
not, he will receive his rewarl.
Another paper published in New Thiginnd—the
Salem (Mans.) Union--announcing its partiality
for General Scott as the Whig nominee for the
Presidency, says, that he adds to the frankness
and ability of the true soldier the sagacity of the
experienced statesman. In whatever capacity he
has been called to act for his country, to us it
seems he has brought into exercise a degree of
wisdom, in the adoption of means to the accom
plishment of ends, seldom equalled—and always
displayed those virtues of justice, mercy and hu
manity which are distinguished traits in his char
acter—qualities which have shone out in the full
est lustre in the hour of his triumphs, and even ex
torted from his enemies such a meed of praise its
is contained in the following extract which she
make from it history of the Mexican war, written
by a Mexican. Speaking of Gen. Scott, he says:
His humanity on all occasions, his kindness, ns
evinced to every individual, and his sympathy
and a ttention to the sick and wounded, endeared
hint to the whole army—officers and soldiers. In
fact, the very generosity and excellence of his
heart led him some-times too fur, and lie has since
reaped in ingratitude the good seed sown in the
fullness of his noble sensibilities.
Democracy Reorgettlized.n.a New
Platform.
We have already stated that the Washington
Union has passed from the hands of Mr. RITCHIZ
to those of Messrs. A. J. Doxusox, a gentleman
high and deservedly in the confidence of the Dem
ocratic party. The Republic prefaces review of
the inaugural of Mr. DONELSOR, by saying that it
is as free from unfair and insiduonetlemonstrations
upon his opponents as it is just and dispassionate
in its discussion of the real party topics of the day.
Mr. DoxxLsoxbueles himself with living questions
and dots not seek to fight over the battles of 1891,
on the grand of the alien and sedition laws, orther
resolution, of '9B. There is a manly and health
ful spirit in his introductory addross s a quiet dig
nity and self-respect, which authorize ns to extend
to him a cordial welcome as an honorable antago
, nist in the field of political discussion. We believe
that he will seek, as he promises, to make the
journal under his control the organ of the" ancient,
honored, and great Democratic party of the Uni
' on,' in "that sense alone which aims at the se
complishment of truly national measures by con
stitutional and jnst means."
From a Hi review of the inaugural, at a politi
cal manifesto, the Republic thinks we may under
stand the grounds on which Mr. DONELSON desires
and contemplates the reorganisation of the old I
Democratic party. The first object is to sustain
the Compromise; the second to maintain the Tariff
of 1848; and the third toperpetuate the policy of
Pout and General. JACKSON in the matter of
River and Harbor Improvements. Now, we ap
prehend, with the Republic, that it will be difficult,
in view of JOHN VAN Buass's resent letter to the
Aboliton Convention at Boston, to rally the Bartz'.
burners on the Compromise; nor can we well see
on what ground the coal and iron Democracy can
rally on the tariff of 1846, or the River and Harbor
Democrats of the West end Northwest on the Riv
br and Harbor vetoes of Mr. Pour.—Daily Suit.
Abrubt Adjournment of the NeW
York Legislature.
The New York Senate was disorganized on the
17th inst., by the resignation of several Senators.
The Herald says, in conseqence of the determi
nation which was manifested by the advocates of
the bill for the completion of the enlargement of
the canals of the State, twelve of the opponents of
the measure, believing it to be unconstitutional,
resigned their seats in the Senate, in order to de
feat it. Mr. MANN, in a speech, insisted on the
propriety of postponing further action on the bill,
, in order that the sense auto people at large might
be obtained upon it, or until they had an opportu
nity of instructing the Legislature on the subject.
He and his associates, he said, were willing to re
' main until the final adjournment of the Legisla
ture, for the purpose of disposing of all other busi
ness; but if this bill was not postponed, the ma
jority must be held responsible for the result that
would follow. The majority insisting open imme
diate action on the bill, twelve Senators, as wo
have retouched, resigned their seats, and the con
sequence was, that both houses of the Legislature
adjonrned sine die. Inasmuch as the Appropria
tion bills have not yet been passed, an extra ses
sion will be convened by tho Governor ; in accord
ance with the request of the maj ority; but unless
the Governor has been authorized to fill vacancies
in the Legislature by a law passed since the adop
tion of the new Constitution, an extra session wily
be of no avail, and the wheels of the government
of the state will be stopped until the meeting of
the next Legislature, on the first of January next.'
