last session of the Legislature, has become a
law, without the signature of Gov, John

Constitution which requires bills passed at
a previous session to be returned within

Legislature.

George M. Dallas to act in concert with
the Hon. James Campbell, Attorney Gen
eral of the State, in the matter of the col
ored girl who was kidnapped from Chester
county as a fugitive slave, and taken to
Baltimore by McCreary, some months since.
This is the ease out of which grew the al

of Mr. Miller, of Chester county.

TIIE STAND-STILLER AND
‘O-AUEADER:
As it respects ancient and present in
stitutions there are two classes of people
in the community who may be respectively
denominated the stand-stillers and the
go-alleaders. The former, while they are
willing to compromise on the present,
rather than run the risk of further pro
gress, would really prefer retreating back
to the good old times of their grand-fathers,
before spinning-jennies had ever whizzed
or locomotives whistled. They look upon
the institutions which have descended from
ancestral savages and become hoary with
the frosts of ten, twenty and thirty centu
ries, with the profoundest veneration. It
would be no difficult task to convince any
of us that we have descended but a few
centuries back from barbarian forefathers,
and that we are still in a considerable de
gree governed by laws established by rob
bers and pirates; nevertheless the stand
stiller beholds with reverential awe, the
sombre monuments of antiquity. The pro
ductions of Grecian and Roman genius led
the modern world, probably for its own
good, into a long captivity, during which
it mastered all that they could dispense,
except intellectual independence. That
ancient guardianship still binds the stand
stiller to social inertness, and should he
be impressed with the propriety of making
a step in advance, his superstitious venera
tion for the shadows of the past would de
ter him from so doing. Bewildered with
the grandeur of a Gothic castle, w Grecian
temple or an Egyptian pyramid, he never
thinks of the stripes and wounds and tor
tures inflicted in their erection, upon suf
fering and broken hearted millions of the
human species, by the sword and the lash
of brutal despotism. It never occurs to
him, that they were built to throw splen
dor around slavery and make subjugation
appear beautiful. The pomp and display
which attend monarchical governments are
intended to inspire with awe, the minds of
those intended to be subjected. These
things and others of the same character,
operate insensibly upon those persons, who
fear to take a step in social progress.
The go-aheader is a totally different
character. While his appreciation of the
beautiful and the elegant is as fine, and
probably more spiritual, than his fearful
neighbor, he has nerve to look all subjects
in the face and treat them as they deserve.
If a hoary theory of three thousand years
standing should raise its head to dictate
nonsense, its great age would not shield it
from denunciation. Because woods and
groves were consecrated by the presence of
dryads and nymphs, this fact would not
deter him from grubbing them out and
sowing the place in wheat. "The wisdom
of our ancestors" may be invoked to in
fluence impressible women and female men
.—but he feels himself capable of judging
both them and his cotemporaries by their
acts. He is eminently hopeful in his char
acter, and instead of musing in the gloom
and shadows of past ages, he is doing all
in his power to make the earth a more
agreeable habitation for man. He makes
our railroads, builds our ships, navigates
the seas, discovers new countries and set
tles them, learns barbarians to read and
write and preaches the gospel to them, and
in short, does every thing that wakes a
country prosperous and happy. The stand
stiller looks on with astonishment at the
boldness of his enterprising neighbor and
wonders what the world is coining to, while
very likely he denounces him as visionary.
The go-aheader will finally take the whole
world and make it the beautiful dwelling
place of happy men and women; he will
abolish alms-houses and beggary; he will
drive out vice and establish virtue, and he
will turn prisons and penitentiaries into
school-houses and colleges.
There's a good time coming, boys,
A good time coming;
We shall not live to me the day,
But earth shall glisten in the ray
Of the good time coming.
A NEW Locovoco MOVE.—The tele
graphic Washington letter to the New
York Herald of Friday last says: "it is
stated on good authority that Senator
Douglasi has consented to throw his
strength into the Buchanan interest. The
moral of the move being, that if Gen.
Cass were to get the nomination, it would
in any event prevent the North West
from receiving it in 1836, whereas by go
ing for Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Douglass stands
well for the next election. At all events
you may rely that the move has been
agreed upon."

lion.
The Indianapolis State Journal relates
the following incident which occured tit
the above named meeting:
Mr. Case, at one tame connected with
the Cincinnati Inquirer, introduced a res
olution in favor of universal war and of
whipping all Europe into Republicans,
whether they wanted republics or not.
Mr. Caso said that" place Gen. Scott at
the head of ten thousand American sol
diers, and he would march to the gates
of St. Petersburg." This remark called
down thunders of applause, in which the
Whigs present joined. At this Mr. Hughes
suggested that they intended to "send
Gen. Scott to the head waters 'of Salt
River, and could not spare him to go and
whip Russia." 'No matter for that,' said
the indomitable Case, "Scott could go to
Salt River, and afterwards whip Russia,
and the balance of Europe thrown
This did not sit very well with the Democ
racy. We heard one of them swear that
he did not come there to hear a Whig
speech.
The State of the Coon Iry.
Six months ago, air whole industrial
and Commercial fabric was on the brink of
a collapse. Tho Sheriff at the door, on
the point of winding up the concern. In
the midst of peace, health, activity and
plenty, with a steady influx of Gold from
our Pacific territory at the rate of Five
Millions per month, we were threatened
with general bankruptcy. And why?—
Simply because our National Policy had
been so changed in 1846 as to discourage
the production of Metals and Fabrics at
home and.largely increase their importation
from Europe. Consequently our National
income, large as it continued to be, did hot
suffice to meet our current expenditure.—
We were sending Europe all the Cotton we
could grow, all the Grain she would take,
and all the Gold we could spare but these
did not suffice to pay for the ship-loads of
Wares and Cloths, of Laces and Gimcracks,
that we were rapidly importing. In vain
did we endeavor to 'comble the deficit'
with Federal Stocks, State Stooks, Rail
road Bonds and every form of promise to
pay which Europe could be induced to ac
cept in lieu of actual payment. Her tra
ders and capitalists were most anxious to
keep alive and stimulate our habits of ex
travagance, to urge us on in the downhill
career on which we were so giddily driving,
but they would not take all the 'securities'
we urged upon them, for they lack ade
quate faith therein. In vain were smooth
tongued notabilities sent out to wheedle
them by Buncombe speeches and brilliant
figurings of the certain net proceeds of the
wild lands and prophetic railroads they of
fered to mortgage; the very men who had
admired the dexterity and dashing (than
don of the mathematician in Treasury Re
ports and other documents designed to be
swallowed by Yankees alone, could not
see the point of the joke when they were
asked to stake their own fortunes on the
soundness of his calculations. They shook
their heads, buttoned their pockets, and
hurried on. And so the imminent anger
of a revulsion hung over us even down to
the opening of the present year.
—At length, all is changed. How long
the new breeze may last must depend on
circumstances, and cannot be foreseen; but
for the present all danger of a crash is at
an end. The merchants, manufacturers
and capitalists of Europe, seeing how
steadily our Cotton, our Grain and our Gold
are poured upon there, while the interest
on nearly all our recent Bonds is prompt
ly paid, say to each other—'Why should
we kill the goose which lays us such gold
en eggs? Why even let her commit sui
cide? Rather let us keep her alive and
prolific as long as possible'—so they stop
pressing for cash payment, and betake
themselves to a wider examination and
more extensive purchases of our Public
Securities. Ono million dollars of these
Securities of various kinds have brought
here on Foreign account within the last
week or two, infusing new potency into
the lately tottering knees of the Stock
Market, and giving the Bulls brilliant
prospects for the immediate future. How
long the new tide may flow, we do not pre
tend to guess; but there is no obvious rea
son why it should not hold for months at
least. Meantime the outward drain of
Specie will be checked by the abundance
of bills drawn against the various Stocks
• and Bonds purchased here on British ac
count; so that it is not impossible that our
Currency may be expanded, Prices infla
ted, and Speculation generally rage beyond
all recent example.
—'Glory to goodness!' said the old wo
man who had fluanciered out of a quanda
ry, have borrowed money enough to pay
all my debts!' This female Walker had
at least as much reason for exultation as
our country has in view of the recent
turn of affairs. For, be it over borne in
mind, we have paid nothing, and arc now
paying nothing, but only sinking deeper
and faster in debt. Instead of paying off
the bills that were worrying us, and tak
ing due precautions against a like bothera
tion in future, we have simply transformed
them into obligations maturing at a remote
day. For every Million that we found it
inconvenient to pay when due, our polite
creditors have agreed to take Sixty Thou
sand a year for fifteen or twenty years,
and the principal at the end of the term.
And we aro dealing with this as though we
hud wiped out the debt, and plunging fur
ther in debt at double speed on the
strength of it.
Meantime the Furnaces and Factories
which should turn out the Iron and Cloth
for which we aro thus 'running our face'
stand idle and deserted; the Artisans and
Laborers who should have produced them
wander hither and thither in search of em
ployment, or aro desperately contriving
and scheming to reach the Land of Gold,
where labor is not such a drug. For ev
ery hundred dollars' worth of Metals,
Cloths or Wares that we have run in debt
for during the past year, there has been
an American workman standing idle for
months past, anxiously seeking work and
finding none. There never before was so
great a dearth of employment throughout the
Free States, as during the past winter, and
it still continues. And still wo go on,
running in debt Millions per month for
products that our now idle laborers would
gladly make, and calling it buying them
cheap. And we have just heard of a
large purchase of Railroad Iron from Eng
land at $371 per ton, payable in seven
per cent. Bonds running fifteen years.
Thus for each ton of this Iron over $76 in
cash must be paid before and at the matur
ing of the Bonds--but who cares for debts
having fifteen years to run? We may all
be dead before they mature. So hurrah
for giant debts abroad and idle laborers at
home! Hurrah for boundless Speculation
to-day, though Bankruptcy be as bound
less to-morrow! Hurrah for giant for
tunes made by Bond-mongering and giant
Taxes to support our crowded Alms-
Houses! Hurrah for blown-out Furnaces
and British Free Trade!—.New York Tri
bune.
General Winfield Scott.
The Cincinnati Chronicle makes the
following statement of the age and services
of the illustrious conqurer of Mexico:
Winfield Scott was born on the 15th of
Jan., 1786, and was therefore 66 the 15th
of last January.
Admitted to the bar in 1806, and prac
tised a few months in the Petersburg (Va.)
Circuit.
Appointed Captain of Light Artillery in
May, 1808.

four years in the service of his country,
having made some of the most brilliant

any undertaking.
TALL Ban ax.—There is a bridge in
the course of construction on the Buffalo
and New York City railroad, where it
crosses the Genesee River, near Portage
ville. When completed it will be 230
feet high, and 500 feet span; stone piers
set on the bed of the rock, are carried up
thirty feet high from the bed of the river,
a few rods above the upper falls. From
the top of the piers, the wood work rises
200 feet, and so perfect is the model of
the bridge (that may bo seen on the ground)
that it is thought there will not be the
least tremor or motion, under the heaviest
train of cars that may ever have occasion
to pass over it. The timber grown on 160
acres lies already been exhausted, and 50
acres more purchased. It is thought
210 acres will afford timber enough to
complete the superstrudture. Some idea
may be formed of the size of the bridge as
it takes over thirty tons of iron for bolts
alone.—Northern Xdvocate.
Shocking Suicide.
WORCESTER, March 11.—Brigham
Knapp, a wealthy farmer living in Sutton,
was yesterday found dead at his residence,
with his throat cut, his arms severely
gashed, and the premises giving evidence
of a severe struggle. A Coroner's jury
rendered a verdict of suicide, which is nut
altogether satisfactory to the public. Mr.
Knapp was a single man,
about forty years
of age, of intemperate habits, and lived
alone.
11.7 - A correspondent of the Chicago Tri
bune tells of a little girl ten years of age
whose only subsistence since infancy has
been sugar and milk—some obstruction or
disease of her throat having led always to
refuse anything snore substantial. She is
stated to be as large as children usually
of her age, and as healthy, bright and ac
tive as those whose food would be consid
ered more invigorating.
IMPORTANT IF TRUE.—Letters from
Paris, says the New York Express, state
that the British government had officially
informed the French government that the
moment a French soldier is sent across the
Belgium territory, the city of Antwerp,
and the forts on the Scheldt will be occu
pied with an English army of tea thou
sand men.
Gen. Scott.
The Susquehanna Register has hoisted
the Scott flag and accompanies the act
with the following sensible comments:
"Looking then at the chances, it seems I
plain to us that Scott is the man for our
candidate. But still we would not advo
cate the nomination of a Wan upon these
grounds alone—upon the mere question of
Tht public life of Gen.
Scott is known and read by all men. A
soldier of great courage, a general of ce
lebrity ranking first in modern history; an
accomplished statesman and a sturdy re
publican, his life has been spent in the
the services of his country. United to
the qualifications of experience and ability,
that highly important requisite in a chief
Magistrate, integrity, is found a prominent
element in his character. As a soldier,
he commenced the defence of his country's
flag on the bloody fields of Lundy's Lane
and Chippewa, and ho carried it trium
phantly through many hard fought fields,
until in floated triumphantly from the cas
tle of San Juan D'Ullua, and the battle
ments of the Mexican Capitol."

Thero is nothing of special interest from
France, beyond rtiwors of growing un
friendliness towards Louis Napoleon on the
part of Austria, growing out of the protest
by France against the proposed increase
of duty upon French goods imported into
Russia.
It is reported that a note had been
transmitted from the Emperor Nicholas to
the President, intimating that the Cabinet
of St. Petersburg would not admit of the
transformation of the President into an
Emperor, or the introduction of a new dy
nasty into Europe. Since its receipt the
French and Austrian governments have
been less friendly; inasmuch as Nicholas
declares that, if Austria moves one step
to assist France in disturbing the Treaty
of Vienna, he will march an army to the
aid of Prussia.
As regards the '_fiance between France
and Austria agaitlst the rest of Europe, the
feeling in Paris is that pedbe will be main

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT A GAMING TA
BLE.-A man named Willis M'Clure, for
merly engaged in the dry goods business,
in Cincinnati, lost $295 at a rondo table,
in that city, on Thursday night last. Hav
ing only $5 left, he risked that on a single
roll, and—lost. With a demoniacal yell,
ho leaped off from his chair, and drawing
a dirk some six inches in length, plunged
it twice into his bosom, inflicting deep and
ghastly wounds, which, in all probability,
will terminate the misguided man's exis
