a i r With this number of the Joni nal our en
gagement with "Ca Inveigle" subscribers will
close unless they think proper to renew their
subscriptit n. Believing that some of them are
disposed to do so, we will send another number to

"Beloved" if they are sot willing to continue
their patronage for a year or six mouths linger.
It might not be out of place to offer here some
reasons why every family should take a county
paper, and why every Whig, especially, should
support the organ of his party. But we deem it
unnecessary. 'rho pus, ns f.r whom these remarks
are intended, arc men of inteligenee, who know
their duty to themselves and their party, and who
require no arguments to induce them to di,-
charge it. We submit the mutter entirely to
their enlightened decision.
Thanksgiving.
Well do we remember the days ofour childhood ;
and its all fashioned and heart-telt, as well as
happy " thanksgiving day." Homeward bound
were the wandering foot-steps of every absent son
or slaughter; and on that day, around the fireside
of home, nestling under the parental wings, were
the whole brood of beloved offspring, except such
as had reared a now altar for ft Heir home; nod
not 'infequently, they, with their "nailing wee
things," funned a part of the thanksgiving gnaw.
This was the day that kept alive the fires of
kindred love and filial allhetion. What ever had
been the heart buildup, the little jealousies, and
manifestations of bad temper or cuisiness among
any of - that family circle, then they mg meet and
•their ill-will 1111,1 and renew their
s of kindred faith and fellowship.
And then! the good cheer of that thankagiving
dinner—the pumpkin pies—the huh,. puddings
—the apple-"sass" .tarts—the mast turkeys—the
chicken pies, and such an arras• at pre. roes. pic
kles, jellies, and dough nuts, all leaded upon the
groaning board, and all marshalled in order down
its middle. Ali! it makes us feel young again, as
we conjure up the picture in our imagination.
Children left such a tneetMg, better children.
and they grew up better men and better women
for the reason, thud each returning year had re.
neaed there scenes of gladness a n d good.,
On Thursday of this week is thanksgiving da;
in Pennsylvania. Now hecume an annual Wilda;
in our State,
We trust that all will feel, and humbly express
how mach cause they have to give thanks unto
the Lord, fn• the manifold mercies vonchedsafed
to oar country, and each citizen during the past
year; and we hope further, that the good old days
of rankuctlom will meet with laver here, and that
the ties of filial love, mid kindred ailbetion may
be cherished and strengthened in every family in
our goodly COOIIIIOII Nestlth.
WHIT WILL THE END BET
The American people have at their last Presi
dential election, cast from their arms, nit oil, long
tried, and never unfaithful public servant. A pure
and worthy servant, who ftr forty years, has al
most nums7ngly toiled to gust , in the honor of his
country; and who, fur mnay years of that time. has
fearlessly and gallantly lid our victorious amities'
through their bloodiest earna,e; and no. where.
in his whole history, can his vilest enemy point
to one act aids life, which fills to honor the sal.
flier, the patri tt, and Christian. Notwithstanding
all this, with his name and his praises on every
tongue, he line failed to raccive the suffrages of
those very persons, who have hitherto so cheer
fully aunt dml the grath tole of their lips—in his
old ago they ithand n d him.
Was it because of the more deserving life and
character of his opponent, Franklin Pierce? No
sane, nn honeit, no truthful lover of American
history will dare, in any t.uhlic manner, make
each en avowal,—a tniilian voices, or every age
and sex, would hks him to silence. All that any,
and the wannest friend of Pierce can say, will lie,
thus like many hundreds of nor people, he has
been. called from the walk of private life, to labor
—to counsel and command, in the civil and mili
tary departments of government. In his own na
tive State,—in the halls of Congress; and in the
marches of the Mexican army, his name appears;
among the eyes and nays in the one place, and
on the muster roll in the other; hut in neither has
he left any enduring evidence of his genius or
prowess. Neither the forum or the field, tell ought
of his greatness. Such is history, and it cannot
be altered by the fulsome flattery, nod adulation
01 a parti.n pros ,—or party pendioncrs.
In the first, we bad the representative of a par
ty, the principles and purposes of which, com
mend themselves to the right-thinking of every
class. The true conservatism of our nation is
found in the Whig part•. It has ever dared to
array itself against wrong. Uninfluenced, by the
promise, that the popular car might he caught,
by courting sonic plausible iniquity,—the Whig
parr• has proudly dared to do ri•ght. 'l•he true
spirit of Nuthinality is found in the Wi,ig parr•.
It has been slandered and abused b f the tongue
of falsehood, with tie charge, that it was British
in its attachments and principles. The 'tattle
slander was believed, by many, notwithstanding,
their opponents were a free trade party, and
their eblen Papers were re-printed by the
British Parliament, as the true dote las; and the
British Press, and British Ministry, have openly
avowed their sympathies with them; and some
have gone so fur as to claim Their candidate,
Pierce, as a ..practical) ally" of them and their
political creed. The Whig party has always and
ever filled up its voice against the tillibustering
violations of national faith, and international law.
Its adversaries have avowed only the doctrine
that might was right, and interest law, and that
the weak were the prey of the strong.
With all this appearing to the observant eye.
Scott has been defeated and :Pierce elected; and
ir/tt will the end be? Who sildl answer? Cuba
is now coveted as a rich possession; and the spirit
of aggression is arrogant and boa.thal in the vic
torious party. Will they dare to risk an issue so
tiaught with mischief, as the filibustering attempt
to seize Cubit, Will this be the end, or only the
beginning of the end I The ohl Castillian binrnl
of Spain will all be sited, ere she will submit, aml
Europe will join hands with her, in the bloody
strife.

The Pennsylvania Senate.
In the late defeat, it is gratifying to know, that
all was nut lost. By Oedema ufSmator Mathias.
twelve Senators were to he elected. The term td
service of eleven having expired, only three of
whom were Whigs. The last Senate stood 16 to
16, with the balance of power held by the Native
Senator, Mt. Ilamilton, who, although assailed
on every side by threats and promises by the Ad.
ministration party, was as true us steel to his
friends, and no corrupt influences could win him
from duty.
Of the twelve elected this year, we bare OM
ed tire, so that with Mr. Munition, the Senate
stands 18 to 15. The seat of the lamented Ma
thias has been tilled by Chas. O'Neil, Esq., who
has so ably represented Philadelphia in the lower
house. Truly, has that city cause to rejoice, that
ber interests will be cared for by two such Sena
tors as U'Neil and her long-tried servant, Crabb.
Industrious, watchful, faithful, and with a keen
! sense of the true interests of their constituency,
titer are ready debaters, and what is of tea much
importance, not to be dereised by "Snakes."
Emily, of Schuylkill, and Jones, of Montgome
ry, ore both su , ,ceded Ilendrieks

Seat of .the Jno. Walker, and. we have no
fears but'he will reflect cre.lit upon that shrewd
constituency. Such are the names added to the
old guard of other yaws.
Readers, do you rAemher them? if not, here
they are : Kunkle, Evans, Robertson, Carson,
Kinzer, Darlington, Melltirtrie, Unmet, Stitim,
and the Speaker, Judge Myers. With such an
array of eloquence, zeal, integrity of purposi:,
ability and substantial worth, though our oppo
nents were theliled in the Halls, and in the Exec
utive Chamber, our party would be safe against
their assaults.

It is not every day that we hind such a rare

"School of Design for Women."
We learn with pleasure, that this in
stitution has th:.s fur been attended with
signal success. There are already fifty
pupils, some of whom earn as high as ten
dollars a week,--indeed the range is from
three dollars to ten. They are employed
as designers for wall-papers, carpets, dress
es, &a."
The article from which the above ex
tract is taken, will be foipd in the “Pe7m
sylvania Inquirer." Thu institution refer
red
to, located in Philadelphia, offers a new
field for the taste, talents, and industry of
females, heretofore confined to contl:u•a
tively fe•v means of earning a sufficient
support. Money, which has been sent to
France, and England, to purchase patterns,
or the fabrics which decorate the houses,
or persons of Americans, will thus be pro
fitably spent at home. To qualify our
young females to fill those situations, in
struction in drawing is necessary:—and my
attention was more paftioularly directed to
this notice. from the knowledge of the fact,
that in our village this opportunity is at
forded, and I fear not sufficiently appreci
ated. I refer to the school opened last
spring by Mrs. Bourne, the widow of the
Episcopal -Clergy man. This capable and
..ccomplished la (whc excels particular
ly in drawing in all its branches,) has now
a very small class of young ladies. Iler
early taste has been resorted to for the
support of her young family.
For their own benefit and he 's, we would
be glad to find many others anxious to cul
tivate this delightful taste, or to acquire it
if nut yet developed —to have a new sense
of the beautiful in nature and art, and a
new means of employing time pleasantly
and profitably.
nom HAvA.NA.—The special corres
pondent at I lavuna of the New York 7' imes,
who (the edit: rs of that pap:r say) writes
front personal observation," and whose
judgement and candor they know to be
thoroughly reliable, presents considera
tions well worthy the attention of those
who may be meditating a new invasion of
the Island. The correspondent under date
of the •ld instant, says:
hope no representations, no matter
how plausible and how flattering, will in
duce any private expedition to make an
other attempt upon Cuba. lam sure its
fate would be most speedy destruction.—
There are now in commission on this sta
tion six or seven war steamers under the
Spanish- flag, all built in England, and
combinint i the excellencies of the best
English a'rr steamers. There are ut this
time building in England five more of these
steamots for the same service, one of
which is to be of enormous size end power.
The military force on the island exceeds
30,000 men, perfect iu their equipment
and armament. And more effective th..o
all thii w.a-like force is the extended and
minute police system, under which every
foreigner is traced a.al watched, hour by
`hour, front his .arrival in the island to his
departure from its shores, and every native
in like manner from hictdrth to his grave,
front his baptism to his funeral; for the
espionage is twofold, secular and ecclesias
tical. it will at once be seen that, with
such forces and such means of knowledge
of all individual movements, it can only
be by the most inconceivable cowardice,
inefficiency, and treachery, that the Gov
°rumen: can be thwarted in its purpose by
anything it► the nature of domestic insur
rection, or ill-appointed private expedi
tious front without.'
A Fortune in View.
Mr. John Crofts Coffield, aged seventy
six yeas, died on the 18th ult., at his re
sidence in Ann street, Boston, where ho
had for several years lived in u penurious
and retired 'Limier. It was believed that
by his penurious habit he Lad saved a small
sum of money, earned ut his trade, cobbling
bouts and shoes, but great was the surpi ise
of his friends and others, on overhauling
the old boots in the corner of his root.,
soon after his death, to find soma of them
literally crammed with old wallets well
filled with the "root of all evil." It is
impossilve at present to tell the amount of
fortune he has left, but we have heard it
estimated at so large a sum as to scent in
credible, $200,000; and what wakes it wore
interesting to the parties concerned, he has
left a will as lung us the moral law, well
and faithfully executed, in which he de
crees that his estate shall he kept in trust
for twenty years before the heirs, with one
exception, can receive any benefit there

A GOOD SPECULATION.-A short time
ago a young wan, a clerk in a house in San
Francisco, having $3OOO to spare, sent it
to China and invested it in rice. Ile sold
the cargo (to arrive: at twenty-two cents
per pound, and made the handsome sum of
$37,000 by the operation. The purchaser
was a Chinaman, cud it so happened that
the cargo arrived the very day after it was
purchased. The Chinaman made $65,000
on his bargain. The large sum of $102,-
000, therefore, was cleared on an invest
ment of $3000..

The Cuban Movement.
The New York Courier says:
oAs to the Cuban expedition, we learn
from undoubted source, th t it is in a for
ward state of preparation, t.nd it is repre
sented that the utmost care has been taken
by the leaders not to violate the neutrality
laws of the United States. All the arms .
and ammunition required have been procu-'
red Aria(' in large quantities, and is now
depsited without the bounds of the United
States, in a depot known only to a few of
the leading spirits. Not even a pop gun

in this expedition will meet the bloody fate
of their predecessors.
A flint Worth Remembering.

No man should be ;delicate about asking
for what is properly his due. If he neg

it not grunted, should be ileulanded. The

COMPLAINTS OF LIBERIA.--Tho Libe
ria Herald complains of the neglect of the
U. S. Congress to establish a line of steam
era to Monrovia, and of the omi,sion of the
U. S. Administration to recognize the in
dependence of the Republic. The Herald
observes:
"Indeed, there is but little probabili•y
of either of these subjects en,aging the at
tention of the President at.d his Cabinet,
or Congress, until the Presidential elec
tion is over. We are assured that Presi
dent Fillmore and Mr. Secretary Webster
are highly favorable to the retk,nition of
Liberia, and will not, at the proper time,
hesitate to acknowledge her. alie Presi
dent is known to have said to 31r. Web

THE MAINE LAW.—A mermorial is in

Cotton from Africa.
On Saturday, advice was received in
Manchester by Mr. Thomas Clegg, cotton
spinner, of the arrival of five mo r e b a l es ,
weighing in the aggregate rather more
tlitsu IWO lbs., of raw cotton trout the
coast of Africa. This wakes 3lr. Clegg's
receipts to amount to about 12,000 lbs. as
the result of the very important movement
which originated with him. Soule three
or four years ago, learning that there vas
plenty of cotton growing wild near the
colony of Sierra Leone and the church
missionary station of Abeokuta, and that
as it bloomed and ripened it dropped to
the ground and rotted, no one regarding'
it, he communicated with the offieials of,
the Church Missionary Society in Loudon,'
and through them sent £lOO to the place
named with instructions that it was to be
expended by the missionaries, its setting
the natives to gather and clean the indi
genous produce, and to forward it quickly
as possible to England.
At the SWIM time they were dir'cted to
lay before the chiefs the advantageous
opening which presented itself for the eel
; ployment of this people, mud how much
better it would be to do that than to pur
sue their horrid truffle in human tlesh.—
Tuis was a direct appeal to a leading trait
in the charaeter of the native chiefs of
that part of the continent, fur by the uni
versal testimony of those who know thine
best they are admitted to possess a strung
liking for money; and to be as clever at
I barter as any lankee pedlar; fur traffick-
Mg, i..deed they seem to have a natural
girt, which only requires to be turned
I Irma slaves to cotton to enable us to dis
pense with our squadron on that coast.—
The inducements held out proved sufficient
to attract attention, and its the year be
fore last a few hundred pounus were col
lected. Since then, Mr. C.egg has re
ceived above 10,000 exclusive of that
which he received the advice of on Satur
day, and altogether at present every thing
points to great results ut noaistant period.
But the duty of attending to the collection
and forwarding of the cotton has become too
large fur the this.sitomries to undertake,
and therefore two agents are about to he
sent out especially to undertake it. The
great aim at present is to show the chiefs
that there is u market for whatever cotton
their people can collect of that which
grows without the necessity for bestowing
inure labor upon it than what is required
to gather it from the pod; -hat effected,
they will then be asked to °moulage i s
growth by cultivation. Mr. Clegt , has
spun a tumidity of cotton himself, and has
given some to your firma, with the request
that they will experiment upon it, and fa
vor him with a report.
It staple it is equal to Egyptian or Or
leatts, used iu spinning tine yarns fur the
Nottingham and Leicester trade. The
price of cotton suited fur such line num
bers has more than doubled within a con,
iteratively brief period, and what was sel
ling at Old a round, is now fetching 20d,
and has been for some tide, so that this
supply will come in most seasonably to
meet the scarcity of suitable Bolts which
the price indicates.
It must nut be suprosed, however, that
all that we have described has been au
ofemplished by Mr. Clegg's £100; that
gentleman unloosed his purse-strings when
he saw success “looming in the future,"
and he has beau aided by other friends of
the African race, especially by Lady Bux
ton, who has contributed £lOO towards
the thud fur carrying on uperitiens.
A Guilty Consci e nce its own Ac-
cuser.
A few days since, a workman employed
in one of the largo fent.dries at South Bos
ton, left han.ing in his vest e pecket while
he was at work at. the flas k, a valuable
gold watch. At night whet: he put. tin his
vest to go home, the watch was missing.—
The lo s was then announced, but no clue
could be obtained of the thief. Thu work
men in a bantering manner began to juke
each other 011 the theft of the watch, :old
during the forenoon one of the men said
in a joking manner to it young apprentice,
“llow does that watch go'?" Tne fellow
iunuediately colored, and said, in a half
frightened tone, ,, What watch? I have sto
w' no watch." His manner immediately
excited suspi,:ion, and he was watched.
In the evening he was seen at a late
hoar returning from the city, and was
pleasantly asked wkre he had been• lle
seemed to be rather embirrassed, and said,
to Sudbury street. The next day a per
son visited Sudbury street, and found that
sumo one answerin. , the descripti.m of the
supposed thief had been there endeavoring
to sell a watch. On the evening of the s one
day, the watch was found in a blacking
box lying on the door stet s of one of tile
head workmen in the foundry. The per
son in Sudbury street, at the request of
the proprietor, came over, and walking
among the workwen, readily recognised
the apprentice as the one who tried to sell
the watch, although Ito wade every attempt
to elude their sight. He then cunfessed
a:1 his *crime, and was immediately dis
charged. Yesterday, however, by a vote
of a majority of the workmen, he tins per
mitted again to go to wmk.—Boston
