BRYANT will preach in the Protestant Episcopal Church, in Huntingdon, on Friday evening next. Arthur's Home Gazette for 1552. This is the title of a paper published in Philadelphia, by T. S. Arthur, &Co., and which has deservedly gained a wide repu tation as a literary publication. It is en-. tirely free from vulgarity, low slang and profanity, and is a supporter of religion and virtue and a conservater of good morals.— Mr. Arthur inspects every line that gOes in the paper, and his character as a moral writer is a sufficient guaranty that its col umns will be kept pure. We cordially re commend it to our readers. Terms—one copy per annum, $2 00—three copies, $5 00—six copies, $lO 00—ten copies, $l5 00. The Gazette and Godey's Lady's Book one year for $4 00. Any person forming a club of six, ton or fourteen, will be fur nished an extra copy. Address T. S. Ar thur, &Co., 107 Walnut St., Phila. Whig Economy. The Washington correspondent of the Ledger, a full-blooded Locofoco, states "that the estimates for the War Depart ment are some fifteen hundred thousand dollars less than those of last year, and that notwithstanding that reduction, we shall have another Regiment of Dragoons and a company of Light Artillery." He also states "that the expenses of the In dian Bureau are cut down by more than half a million, and that similar reforms are introduced in all branches of the government." So then, says the York Republican, according to this by no means friendly authority, the Whig Administra tion at Washington has effected a saving 'of two millions of dollars in the War De partment and Indian Bureau, "while sim ilar reforms are introduced in all branches of the goverment." When you hear the locofocos abusing the Whigs you can just "stick a pin there." CC - rJorm J. McfliP:has been appoint ed United States Senator from Mississippi, in place of Jefferson Davis resigned. V' Gov. Kossuth is said to be an ac-] complished and graceful horseman. In reviewing the troops on the battery, N. Y., on Saturday, he was mounted on Black Warrior, the veteran charger, now twenty years old, belonging to Major Merrill, of the U. S. Dragoons, by whom he was rid den in the Florida and Mexican wars, hay ing participated in all the battles and been twice wounded. tl:7 - In consequence of ill health, Henry (lay has resigned his seat in the United States Senate. Ilis earthly career is fast (dosing. It will be long ore we shall again see his equal. The Capitol of the United atates on Fire. We atop the press to announce, that by Telegraph, we are informed that the Capi at Washingtou City is now (Doc. 24) fire and from the scarcity of water is .ikoly to be consumed, The Cougresaion .:l library is entirely destroyed. The whole ,milding is in flames—A late despatch iys that the building way be in part saved. rj:7- Brig. Gen. Belknap, of the U, S. Army, died a few days Ago, Eq Fort Grib yn. Rosman and Intervention. It seldom falls to the lot of a human be ing to be the recipient of such a vassalage of devotion as has been accorded to Lew is Kossuth. When the Satraps of a hun dred provinces were prostrated at the feet of the Persian King, he had less reason to be elated with the adoration, than has the Governor of Hungary with the voluntary offerings of the popular heart. The tri umphs which Rome bestowed on her con quering generals and the glory which hung ' around Napoleon Bonaparte, sink into in significance when conpared with them.— At the same time it is gratifying to know, that as a man, he is deserving a of very large . share of commendation. His eloquence is of the very first order and so lofty in its strains, that it becomes the equal of poetry. His heart is a fountain of patriotism and his head is an intellectual diamond mine. Lis journey through England was a con inued moral triumph—such an one, whiCh )oth great and little minds always freely 'ward to honesty of purpose and transcen lant genius. It is likely to be more so here and would have been equally so in France, had the government permitted him to travel through that non-descript repub- He comes to the United States—not to become an adopted and permanent citizen —but as a Missionary in the cause of Hun garian independence. The revolution ha ving been quelled in his own country by the intervention of Russia in the quarrel, he now desires to conciliate a power stronger than she, whose province it shall be to show fair play in an even-handed fight be tween Hungary and Austria. In other words, if Hungary rise in insurrection against the government of Austria, and Russia shall attempt to aid the latter in the subjugation of the former, then the United States shall say to her, stay at home and attend to your own busiuess and let these people settle their own difficul ties. This, at first sight, might appear like a modest request,—one which a gov ernment founded on principles of social equality might readily accede to; but whon we contemplate its legitimate results, it becomes a very dangerous one. Should this government undertake thus to speak to another, she would be bound to see her or ders complied with, and in case of non compliance, must enforce obedience by the coercive power of the army and the navy. She may thus become entangled in the net-work of foreign politics and obligated to sustain and defend the party whose principles she espouses. This could only be done at the expense of rivers of blood and hundreds of millions of treasure, and while fighting for the liberties of foreign nations would materially endanger her own We do not believe that the people of this country are willing to pay the expenses of a stupendous military crusade against the Kingdoms of the earth, however willing a few adventurers and demagogues might be to have their throats cut in the cause of universal liberty. If the principle be once established, that wo are allies, offensive and defensive, of all nations and factions of nations endeavoring to escape from the authority of their masters—and the un compromising enemy of all kingdoms, principalities and powers monarchical, we shall never be otherwise than engaged in the agreeable and highly useful employ ment of butchering our fellow men.— Neither does it make any difference at what extremity of the earth the blaze of liberty shall break forth, we must still keep a watchful eye on the interests of free principles. The Hottentot and the Arab, the China-man and the Hindoo, the Tartar and the Turk, the Laplander, the Siberian and the Esquimaux equally with the Frenchman, the Hungarian and Ger man will be entitled to call us to their aid. It will only be necessary to inform us that an insurrection has broken out against a tyranical government to insure our pres ence on the field of strife. We may thus go on to proclaim the glad tidings of lib erty, both by the tongue and the sword, until they shall have reached every trog lodyte and human brute that libels the image of God on the face of the earth— and what would be the probable result?— Continual war, bloodshed and violence; never ending expense; violation of treaties and total expulsions from the family of na tions! ' This government was established for the protection and happiness of the people who reside within its limits, and it will require all their care and attention to keep it pure. National preservation is not always an ea sy task, and in order that ours might be the less difficult, the doctrine of non-inter vention was adopted and has grown into the settled policy of the government.— We have thus far kept aloof from the quarrels of the European Powers and time has proven the wisdom a our course. It is the desire of Kossuth that we shall abandon this policy and help the Hungari ans in the achievement of their indepen dence, by affording both moral and mate rial aid. The discussions in Congress and the public press have shown him that this government will not interfere in European affairs, and his only resource will now be in the generosity of private individuals, in the way of raising money, which cannot amount to much. We are glad to see a general unwillingness to depart from our time honored policy, and we heartily denounce all attempts to depart from it, not because it is old and venerable, but because it is reasonable, just and safe. The Treason Case Abandoned, Yesterday, says the Phiadelphia Ledger the U. S. District Attorney, Mr. Ash• mead, entered a nolle prosequi in each o the cases of treason remaining untried in the U. S. Circuit Court, and growing out of the riot at Christiana, in Lancaster County. He did this, he said, because satisfied from Judge Grier's charge to the jury, and the verdict in Hanway's case, that none of the prisoners could be convic ted of treason. This ends the trials for treason, and the end is what wo predicted would be the result of attempting to aggra vate riot and murder, crimes atrocious enough in their character, into the greater crime of treason, or an attempt to subvert all law and overthrow the government it self. The framers of the Constitution, with a determination to shield the citizen from the tyranny almost inseparable from power, declared, in language which can not bo misunderstood, that "Treason against the United States shall consist on ly in levying war against them, or adhear ing to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort." The words "levying war" and "enemies" have a fixed and definite mean ing, which do not admit of any such lati tude of construction as to apply to a tem porary riot, like that at Christiana, how ever aggravated in its form. The lan guage there employed was intended for the popular understanding, and is plain, simple and easily comprehended. A Chrystal Palace in New York. We see it stated that a petition is about to be presented to the Common Council of New York for the use of Madi son square for the erection of a Crystal Palace to accommodate the second Great World's Fair in 1852. Mr. Paxton has made the design-500 by 200 feet, two stories; and the contractors agree to have the structure completed in three months. Mr. Riddle, United States commissioner of the World's Fair, has the pledge of some seven hundred contributors of articles. E" . " Counterfeit $5 bills are in circula tion, purporting to have been issued by the Philadelphia Bank. Though not very well done, they are calculated to deceive those not accustomed to the bills of that bank. We understand the bank is about to issue bills from a new plate. 1 17' Seven hundred and fifty widows and orphans of soldiers killed in the Mexi can war, or who died from disease contrac ted in the service, arc now receiving pen sions fron► the Government of the United States. TERRIBLE MUILDER.BOSTON, Dec.ll. An insane man, named Carrigan, living seven miles from St. Johs2s, N.B. murder ed his wife two children and an aunt, and dangerously if not fatally, wevndod four other persons. He called the &mil . ) , to prayers and then commenced the horrid butchery—killing his wife first. youngest child he placed on the table and severed its head from its body. He then escaped to the woods, and he was badly frozen when taken. CONTRIBUTIONS FOR HUNGARY.-Con tributions in aid of Hungary are flowing in from all sources. At the Corporation ban quet in New York, on Thursday evening, one gentleman enclosed a check for $lOOO, and we notice in the papers of that city letters from various individuals enclosing sums ranging from $2O to $lOO. (1. LATE advises from Mexico, state that our 3linister, Governor Letcher, had been handsomely received on his arrival at the capital. President Arista had sent a carriage on the road to meet him. frrTHE CITY Council of Cincinnatti has adopted a resolution to invite Kossuth to visit that city, and partake of its hos pitalities, and appointed a committee to give tho invitation. pg"TIIERE are about eight million yards carpeting consumed annually in the Inited States. Of this number, six mil- ion; eight-hundred and eighty-nine thou- sand yards are of American manufacture, requiring thirteen million pounds of wool. [rr Tits N. Y. Trinity Church Corpor ation; we learn from the Express, is ex pected soon to establish Christian Free Schools in all parts of the city. This is truly a noble use for their great wealth. The French Republican Bubble Burial—Usurpation of Napoleau IL By the following from the Philadelphia Sun it will be seen that President Napo leon has usurped the government of France, and th'e frail fabric of republicanism there is likely to tumble into ruins. By the arrival of the Europa at Halifax, we have intelligence from Paris to the eve ning of Thursday, the 4th inst., which is full of the most exciting interest. The affairs of France have reached the long ex pected crisis—the bubble republic has burst! On Monday, Ist December, the President, LOUIS NAPOLEAN, seized the reins of government, dissolved the Assem bly by proclamation, declared the City of Paris in a state of siege, arrested the lead ers of the opposition, and appealed to the people, The preparations on the part of the President for this movement were per fected with comsumate skill and secrecy. Everything was consummated before the Assembly had the least idea of the Presi dent's intentions. During Monday night an entire new Ministry was formed. At daylight on Tuesday scorning the Presi dent's proclamation was found posted eve ry where throughout the city, in which he ordered the dispersion of the Assembly, the restoration of universal suffrage, and also proposing a new system of Government. He proposes the instant election, by the people and army, of a President, to hold his office for ten years, and to be support ed by a Council of State and two Houses of the Legislature. Pending the election, the Executive power is to remain in the hand of the President. The election is to take place during the present month, and the President pormises to bow to the will of the people. He says he has been forced into his present attitude. It is certain that TNIERS, CHANGAR- NIER, and others of the opponents of the President, had decided to demand his ar rest and impeachment on the 2d inst., and were almost in the act of moving in the matter, when they and their principal friends were arrested and conveyed to Vincinnes, where they are closely confined. Whenever the members of the Assembly have attempted to meet officially, they have been ordered to disperse, and arrest ed if they refused. Two hundred mem bers had been arrested. Many had sub sequently been released; but all the lead ers of the opposition werein prison. Three hundred of the members of the Assembly are said to have given in their adhesion to the President, and telegraphic dispatches from the Departments state that the Pres ident's demonstration has been hailed with the utmost enthusiasm. Subsequently, however, these reports wore contradicted, and on the strength of such contradiction, numerous barricades were erected in differ- 1 ent quarters of Paris, but were speedy broken down by the troops. At one of them two members of the Assembly, oc cupying prominent places among the popu lace, were killed in the conflict. On Tuesday a section of the Assembly continued to meet, and decreed the depo sition of the President, and his impeach ment for high treason. The meeting, how ever was dispersed by the troops. Troops have been placed in the houses of ex-officers of the Assembly, who were exempted from arrest, among others, M. Dunn. Tho full rigor of martial law had been proclaimed a vinst all persons concerned in erecting barriounos, or who may be found at them, and a large number had been shot. Up to Thursday night the complete success of the President accused certain. Tho ad vices from Londo;s on Friday do not ma tarially vary the prospects, but Lsew ele ments were constantly arising. Five thousand troops had been fired upon from the Boulevards, houses, &c., and after a brisk contest, the troops came off victorious. Strausburg and Rheims are reported to have risen, but the report has not been confirmed. Gen. CASTELLANE had sent aid from Lyons, to assist the president in carrying out his plans. Some other General had also sent aid from other portions of France. One hundred French refugees had left England for Paris. r2,,000,000 pounds of smoked beef have been packed and shipped, by one house in Cincinnati, within the last eighteen mouths, A Man with Ninety Wives. Tho St. Louis Republican, while it con doms and denounces the immorality and misconduct. of the Mormons, deprecates the course taken by the United States offi cers in abandoning their posts, and refuses to admit the sufficiency of any or all their reasons. A statement of affairs in Utah, published in the St. Joseph's Gazette, and endorsed by the retiring Chief Justice and the Secretary of the State, (Mr. Harris, of Brattleboro,) has the following on an in teresting point of morality : The plurality wife system is in full vogue here. Ilov. young is said to have as many as ninety wives. He drove about the streets a few days since, with sixteen of them in a long carriage—fourteen of them having each an infant at her bosom. It is said that Heber C. Kimball, one of the Tribune Council, has almost an equal num ber; amoung them, a mother and her two daughters. Each man can have as many wives as ho can maintain, that is, after the women have been culled and picked by the head men. Strange but True.—With two hundred thousand inhabitants, Cineinnatti has a man living in the neighborhood who is consider ably older than the city itself. " If you wish to appear agreeable in society," says Talleyrand, " you must consent to be taught a great many things which you already know." lr Horace (freely writes from Wash ington City that Mr. Clay's physical pow ers have become much impaired. He says : , 4 Henry Clay did not attend the sitting of yesterday, and I did not see him in the Capitol to-day. But, seeing him at his own room, I was pained by his general appear ance. His mind is clear, active, and vig orous as ever ; bnt his physical powers have been impaired since I last saw him. He is much thinner, looks older, and is less able to brave fatigue and exposure than ho was even last March. Ho suffers continually from a dry, hacking cough, which has clung to and grown upon him for the last eighteen months, and sometimes causes him much distress. Ido greatly fear that this is the last session of Congress wherein his eloquent voice will be heard, and his potent influence felt in the councils of the nation. Mr. Clay's determination is fixed and un alterable, that no persuasions or entreaties shall induce him to be again a candidate for the Presidency. He feels that his earthly career is at its close, and that whatever ho has had power to do for the country, is nearly accomplished. Let us hope that the blessings of millions will ir radicate and cheer his remaining days, and that the Bow of Promise will span and sil ver to his closing eye the dark waters of Death."
