V. B. PALMIER
Is our antliorised agent in Philadelphia, New
York and Boston, to receive advertisements; and
any persons in those cities wishing to advertise
in our columns, will please call on him.
Og — Once more we must thank our friends
at Harrisburg for valuable documents sent
to us personally. Messrs. Wharton, Wal
ton, and Gwin, of the House, and MoMur
trie, of the Senate, will consider themselves
thanked—most heartily—if they continue
their favors. The Legislative Record is
very acceptable.
Notice's.
Tut ILLtsrsArto NEWS.—We hare been in
the regular receipt of this admirable production
since its commencement, and still find ourselfun
able to discover any reason for the unfavorable
notices it has received from a portion of the coun
try press. The enterprising publishers are cer
tainly redeeming their promises to the public, and
rendering better service to the cause of human
improvement than many of the cheap weeklies
that full under our notice. Indeed, the more we
examine, the more we admire this limn! sheet.
We would say to all who want an illustrated
newspaper, procure and examine a copy of Bar
num's paper. You will he surprised, us well as
delighted with the extent, variety, and truthful
ness of its illustrations, and subscribe at once.
Godey's Lady's Book and Graham's Mag
aoine, for March, are on our table. They are, as
usual, beautifully illustrated, and contain a large
amount of interesting and instructive reading mat
ter. We observe, with pleasure, in both of these
Monthly's, a strung tendency to return to the
hilt fled and substantial literature of bygone days.
This is a wholesome indication.
Itth.rozots.—The Sacrament of the Lord's
Supper will be administered in the Huntingdon
Presbyterian Church, on Sabbath next, the 27th
inst. The preparatory services will commence on
Thursday evening,Rev. D. L. Hughes, of Stover's
Place, will be assisting minister.
Examination.
The examination, for the Winter Term of
Cassville Seminary, will commence on Monday,
February 28th, and close Wednesday, March 2d.
On Wednesday evening there will be an exhibi
tion, consisting of declamation, (original and se
lect pieces,) and composition, intermingled with
octal and instrumental music.
[LT" The above Institution, conducted
by Rev. Ralph Pierce and his accomplish
ed lads, is, we aro happy to say, in a pros
perous condition. The approaching Ex
amination and Exhibition promises to be
an occasion of much credit to the Institu
tion, and of, groat interest to parents and
other visitors.
'remperanee Pleetings.
Mr. J. G. Feister, from Ohio—more gen-.
erally known as the "Ohio Self-Sharpener"
—was in our place last week, and lectured
three evenings upon Temperance. All the
meetings were crowded, and the Lecturer
seemed to so well understand his subject,
that he made them appreciate the force of
his arguments. Ile is accompanied by his
daughter, who sings and plays on the Me
lodeon, at the commencement and end of
the meeting. Our citizens were generally
delighted. Few who heard him once but
were anxious to hear him again.
Daguerreotypes.
Blair & Burkholder arc again iu threw
in the Court House, operating in the Da•
gucrrean Art.
Their productions speak loudly for them,
as Artists of the first class. Ladies and
Gentlemen, of Huntingdon, give them a
call, and examine their specimens•
Gen. Pieroe, President eleot, has
been spending some days in tho City of
Philadelphia. The Pennsylvanian says he
was haggard and care-worn, when he arri
ved, but has very much improved during
his brief sojourn in the salubrious air of. the
Quaker City.
School Convention.
A very full attendance of Teachers was
present at the Convention, on the 221
giving evidence of the great interest felt
on the subject of ethic Mien. The Rev. J.
CAMPBELL, teas called to the chair, and
Samuel Brown, R. McDivitt, and Miss C.
T. Benedict; appointed Secretaries. Sev
eral Committees were appointed, and a very
free interchange of opinion as to what are
the wants of their profession. The- work
is well begun, and tte Teachers of our
County have but to go en, stud ultimately
their reward will be the permanent good of
themselves, their pupils, and the cause of
education. •
The Convention adjourned to meet on
Thursday of the second week of the April

It is Time.
"It is time," said a friend of ours to us,
a few days since. Truly, said we, "it is
time." We thanked him for the thought,
and said "we will write upon it."
It is time. Ah, happy, yet solemn
thought to us. It is time; yet how soon
may we hear that voice, which shall say,
"time shall be no longer." "Our days fly
swifter than a weaver's shuttle," yet we
pause not to think that it is time which is
flying—that it is time which is marching
each of us, with its steady tread, in our own
funeral train. Time may linger with its
burden, many days—many weeks--many
months—many years, still it is bearing us
along to our chilly charnel house, among
the dead, for it is time, with its ceaseless
foot-step, that leads and presses us onward.
Ere long, how soon, no one living can tell,
it will deliver the message, it is time!
Ah start not! Time for what? time to die!
When will that hour be ? You know not!
Then it is time, now, that you were prepa
red. You may have but little time to spend.
Around us the arrows of death are daily
flying; we do not see how near— the next
may pierce us. It is time we were ready.
It is time. Time for what ? Time that
Truth should no longer be silent, when cold
deceit is eating the heart out of our kind.
Time that gold should no longer be the
measure of greatness. Time that virtue,
in rags, should be no more humbled by
vice in high places. Time that a warm
heart should meet a warmer welcome, than
the gold-leaf and gilding of out side show.
It is time that common sense assume her
empire over our race, and that true and en
larged manhood should cease to be spurn
ed, by the contemptible meanness of mis
erable maudalin followers of foreign follies.
It is time, that the man of honor and mor
al worth, should have his place in the so
cial estimation of the virtuous, despite the
sneers of the triming trickster.
It is time. Who says it is time ? The
poor say it is time, now, to think of their
wants, and it is time to supply them out of
your abundance. "The poor ye have al
ways with you," said our Saviour, and
when he said so, ho meant it is time, ever,
to minister to their necessities. That poor
and suffering wife, and those worse than
orphans, say it is time, that something was
done to save the inebriate husband and
father from a wretched life, and a fearful
death. That mother says, and how bitter
the anguish which wrings that mother's
heart, as she says, "Oh, my son, it is time
that you abandon your cups, else you will
be without a mother, or your mother with
out a son." And mark, too, that father's
quivering lip, as he says, it is time that I
speak--that I set the example—that I
curse the intoxicating bowl, and tell the
world, that it is time, if fathers would have
virtuous and sober sons, that they have
boldness to act for the right.
Every thing says it is time. Every
blossoming flower—every falling leaf—ev
ery tick of the clock—every new made
grave—every moan of poverty—every cry
of the oppressed.--every sigh o 7 the suffer
ing—every song of the bacchanal—every
tear of his weeping friends—every prayer
of the good, and every monition of con
science, tells every sou and daughter of
Adam it is time. We but echo their
teachings—it is time.
Legislative sews.
Some how we neglected to mention in
our last that Gov. Bigler, has commenced
the veto trade. The first Bill vetoed was
ono authorizing the erection of a now
School District in Armstrong County.—
We have not seen the veto message.
Mr. bleMurtrie presented a petition from
the citizens of Huntingdon County, for a
change in the Land Laws—we do not
known what change is asked for.
The Rouse has Ppent a day or two in
discussing the Cleveland and Mahonig
Railroad, all seemed anxious to talk, and
that was all 'right, because if they did not
talk they would not say anything. The
Bill was finally passed.
A Mai before the Senate, for increas
ing tlingraries of the Judges of the Su=
prows Court; and of course that would
call out•an amendment increasing the sala
ries of the Common Picas Judges. It call
ed out a little talk, awl then was laid over
for the present.
Mr. Zerby from the Committee ou New
Counties, report* Bill, to change the
line between Hustingdon and Fulton Conn
ties.
In the House - we observe that some per
son offered as an. amendment, a Section
"restrccting•the payment of certain mon
eys in Huntingdon county," stricken out.
We are net apprised as-to the provisions
of this law, but we presume it is the trick
of some persona to defeat a free Bridge
opposite our town. If so we can only say
Col. Wharton, deserves great credit, from
the citizes of this town, and those of NI alk
er, Union, Cass, and Clay, who need this
Bridge for promptly arresting it before it
was "Snaked" through. We have been
told that the Section prohibited the appro
priation of any money to the erection of
Bridges until, all the present debts of the
County are paid. A law which if passed
might work incalculable wrong to every
township in the County. If our Bridges
should be swept away by a flood as they
were in 1847—not one of them could be
built again, for years perhaps; and this
Bridge, which it is intended to defeat, is a
local accommodation to more tax-payers
than any Bridge in our county. We ask
now, in soberness, to any man, is not every
County Bridge a mere local accommoda
tion to a particular neighborhood ? We
say to Colonel Wharton, and our Senator,
stand by the right. Let the poor men who
have forty years forded this river, and paid
their taxes, now have only justice, (and
then they must got this Bridge,) and they
will not forget their friends.
Canal Commissioner,
We see several of the Whig Journals
naming their favorite Candidates for Canal
Commissioner. While, we have no objec
tions to urge against any man named, nev
ertheless we have our preference, our
neighbor of Blair County W. M. LLOYD,
is our man first and last.
It may be urged by our opponents that
we need not give ourselves any trouble
about the question, as they intend to do
that business for us. Never mind boys we
did beat you once, and may again; and
we are not willing to leave the matter in
your hands without an effort. We mom
mend a full and effective organization; with
a •determination to succeed. Qur enemies
will be a little rent with the snatobings af
ter the plunder; and they will prove to the
satisfaction of every body, we doubt not,
that they ought to be beaten this fall.—
What becomes our duty then?
Our answer is this. Nominate such a
man as will enlist the men most interested
in our public works;—the boatmen, and the
carriers generally. Such .a man, as will
make them earnest for his success, because
they know how well he is acquainted with
those matters which further their interests,
and those of the State. And such a man
is WILLIAM M. LLOYD. For many
years he has been engaged in the carrying
trade —and we might almost say, has never
made an enemy. As a business man, he
has no superior, and but few equals, in this
or any other State,--a man of stern ititeg
rity—he is just such a man as we need for
a Canal Commissioner. Whigs, help us
nominate and elect him.
[From the Albany (N IT) Register
Democracy in a Dilemma.
The position of the Democracy, as exhi
bited in the Legislature, is peculiar. Tho
Senate will hold no executive session, it is
said, for the present. The attempt to
smoke out the President elect, and make
him define his position, having failed, all
sections of the party seem determined to
retain their position until the proclivities of
the new administration shall have been de
veloped. In the moan time, the Whigs in
office are having a good time of it. They
go along in the quiet dischrrge of their
duty, 'taking the good that the Gods send
and watching the clouds.' To them it is
matter of no 'national importance' if the
Democracy hold on this course to the end
of the Administration. But there is evi
dently no cordial feeling among the Demo
cracy. Dix has been overthrown, and
Young America frowns darkly in wither
ing menace. Dickinson is demolished, and
the Herds clench their giant fists and knit
their stern brows. Marcy seems in the as
cendency—whereat the Softs throw up
their hats and shout aloud in the fullness
of their joy. But Ilunkerism scowls, and
Young Democracy looks fierce. What the
end is to be who eau tell? It is trying to
the nerves to be thus suspended in mid
heaven, within view of power and spoils,
and yet with such fearful chances of fail
ing in their attainment. General Pierce
should cud this agony. He should announce
his decissiou and adopt his faction. As a
humane man he should put a period to this
torturing suspense. His masterly inactivity
is positively cruel.
But the sections of Democracy are mar
shaling their forces. The tomahawk has
been dug up and the war post erected. The
war-paint is concocted, and the brush is
prepared for its application. Tho scalp
lock quivers in the breeze—the edge of the
scalping-knife has been made keen, and
when the great chief shall announce his de
cision, whether it be in favor of Dickinson,
Dix or Marcy, the war-whoop will waken
the sleeping echoes from Montauk Point to
the great lakes of the North and west.--
Greek will meet Greek and the tug of war
I commence.
frrOn Wednenesday of last week the
votes President and Vice President were
opened and counted, in Congress, and
Franklin Pierce and Wm. R. King de
clared duly electced.

ROBERT STITT,
ELIEL SMITH,
Commissioners.
: H. W. MILLER,' Clerk.
Remarks of Col. Wharton on the bill
entitled, a supplement to the act creating
permanently the office of State Printer.
Mr. Wharton said he was astonished at
the course pursued by the gentleman from
Potter, [Mr. Kilbourn]. His course on
almost all questions had been liberal, and
why he should press this question on the
House, at this time, ho could not under
stand.
The printing question now before the
House is one of quite as much importance
as any one which has been or will come be
fore it at this session. The postponement
asked for by the gentleman from Chester,
[Mr. James] was not unreasonable. He
contended that no bill should be permitted
to pass, as a general rule, which was not
printed and laid before members for exam
ination. This bill comes from the commit
tee in such a mutilated condition, that few
if any, can understand its provisions suffi
ciently wall to act on it intelligibly. The
majority may press Ms measure over the
minority, but if they do so, it may truly be
said that they act without proper consider
ation.
The gentleman from Potter had spoke
of the cost of printing, under the present
contract, as being more than it should be.
But hurrying the bill through will not
benefit the evil, if there is any. He was
satisfied that we have had too much hur
ried legislation already, and hoped the
time had come when a majority on the oth
er side of the House, in the cage of a sound
judgment, will agree to postpone the con
sideration of this bill, for the present.--
He said he had nct had time to examine it
as it should be, although he had given as
much time to the business of the House as
most members. Ile hoped that the fur
ther consideration of the bill would be
postponed, that intelligent action may be
had.
