Broad Top Rail Road. We cannot resist saying a word or two more to our readers about this Rail Road. It will not be long now, before the Engineer Corps finish their experimental lines; and we shall then begin to know what is to be done. We have not yet heard whether the Board of Directors have taken any steps to obtain releases from the land owners, through whose muds the road will he likely to pass. Damages may be a very large item in the actual expense of making the road: and we presume that the board will be governed very much in its selection of the route, by the liberulit3 of the land owners along the sev eral lines. What may be the opinions of our formers, as to the advantage of this improvement to them, we are not prepared to say. But this we will any, if they, by a selfish spirit, drive the road away from their neighborhood, it will be cause of lust ing regret. Let this road be completed, and in successful operation, and every acre of land will ta la-gels increased value, and all your pro ducts will neat you much more money, because ou can send so much quicker and cheaper to uirket. Farmers, look .to your interest. Wife vs Lady We love a good thing and never Woae no op portunity to help, save fronoldivicM, all such as we find . vagrantizing any whore. Providence Journal. makes the following happy hit at the ..Domeeracy-" for their sash nosed aristocracy.— Where ever you take up a paper of that party you a ill see some article which speaks of President Piet ce, and his "lady," as if nobody bet a com mon every day vulgarian has a wife; and that great men have ladies. We like the tone of the Jon! , nal, and we commend its good senee to every true republican: . - • -- "We wish the Democratic papers would call Mrs. Pierce the toffs of the President elect, in• stead of bin lady. They are legally married, and she is entitled to the name of wife.

Thus our Whig friends will see. that the Loco Four, presses are all now joining in hue-in-cry against the out going administration. The ad ministration of Mr. Fillmore which, up to the close of the last election, was declared, by them, to be of surpassing beauty, is now the subject of their daily attacks. Although they had spent their noblest efforts to bring - disgrace Upon the administration of General Taylor; and drew in sidious comparisons between that administration and the present, long after Old Zack had answer ed the roll-call of death. Now they seek to cast 'even their former shame and falsehood into the hack ground, by hurling their foul slanders at the administration of :'resident Fillmore. There is one simple and only cause for, and purpose in their present assault upon the Whig Administration. It is this, they wish to have the public gaze turned away from them. That party is about to be admitted to the public crib. They have been starving fur a few years; and they in tend to "make an effort," as Mrs. Chick says, to do something for themselves. They have myriads of hungry harpies, who have not got a taste for four years, amid they do not wish that their zeal, to get an honest bite, should be too closely watch ed; and of course, every fellow is pointing at the Whigs and saying, "Look out for them !" Hon est men, of all parties, if you will watch all, as they should he, you will agree with us. that just sow you should look out for the Loco Fecos. The Exhibition. The Teachers of two of our Common Schools, (we do not understand why they are called "high schools") last week, gave an exhibition of the talents of their scho lars in singing and speaking. The female sholars, under the care of Miss S. 11. Schuy ler, sang a large number of pieces; and tru ly delighted all who heard• thew. The little lasses, many of them.quite small, cer tainly astor.isbed the crowded auditory.— Miss Schuyler must have been unsparing iu her labor, to produce such time and har mony, as was exhibited by her pupils; and parents, we have no doubt, were proud of their children; and thankful to their teach- The boys, under the care of Mr. J. S. Barr, between the songs by the girls, gave the audience a very pleasing change in the exercises, by exhibiting their powers of de clamation. It is rare, we think, in any School, where so many lads take part in such exercises, that all do so well, as did the scholars of Mr. Barr; not one boy made any thing like a failure, that we saw, and many of them spoke well, with force and feeling. We were especially pleased with all we heard; but owing to the great crowd of spectators, we were compelled to stand, and therefore left before the exercises were closed; consequently did not hear the ad dress of Mr.. Sivoope. nose who heard it, however, say that it was listened to with interest, and gave assurance of the ability of its author. Whig State CiihVerktieti The Whig State Convention, we under stand, have issued a call for a State Con vention, at Lancaster, on the 24th of March, to nominate candidates to be supported by the Whig party, for Canal Commissioner, Auditor General, and Surveyor Gene:al. This is short notice, nevertheless, measures should be taken to have a full representa tion. We need only to have a good State ticket, to secure the earnest efforts of the Whig party. There are many things which may transpire, which may render our suc cess comparatively certain; but wo must be in a situation to profit by those circumstan ces. What will Huntingdon County say and do in this matter ? The Canal Power. We observe in the Globe of our town, a notice bringing to the attention of the Convention of our political opponents, as a candidate for Canal Commissioner, John S. Isett, Esq., of our County. The mo ment we saw the name of Mr. Isett, we, were struck with the propriety of the sug gestion. If our old adversaries are to continuo to hold the public Iniproveinezts . ,' an% atched by any Whig eye in the hoard, then it is important that such men as Mr. Isett be selected by the honest ?nett of that party, tf they would do anything to pro tect themselves from the peculutions of the. small officials. If the Whigs must be beaten, then lot us have a man of the shrewd business ca pacities, and of the s terling integrity of Mr. Isett, and bettor days will dawn on Penn sylvania yet. We have but one regret in the matter, Mr. Isett is too honest a man to suit the Canal Power—he ean , t be nomi nated we fear. ttr Hon. R. E. Stockton has resigu ed his seat in the U. S. Senate. John 11.• Thompson has been elected his successor. Whether the Canal Board will lay the blame upon the " rascally Whigs,"-=the Tariff of 1842, or the Penn'a. Rail Road Company, we cannot say. Our readers, however, may rest assured that the present Canal Board had nothing to do with the late cold snap. Legislative News. •We sco among the Bills signed by the Governor one, which contains a Section re lating to an alley in the Borough of Hun tingdon. We are not apprised of its char atter. A Bill, entitled an Act to revise the ini this system, and to provide for the training of such only as shall be uniformed, we see, passed the House finally. Whether it is the same, in the detail, as the ono to which we referred some weeks since,as reported in the Senate, we cannot say. The Senate are now working under a rule which despatches private business rapidly. On Saturdays the names of Senators are called over, and each has the right to call Sip any private Bill, and it is put through t the mill with a railroad speed. Petitions are now pouring in in favor of a prohibitory liquor law, and we see such a bill has been presented to the lower House —and is said to be very stringent in its character—and we see also that petitions were presented from citizens of Dublin and Springfield townships, Huntingdon, to be annexed to Fulton County. Invitations have been given to the Leg islature, by the authorities of Philadelphia and Pittsburg, and urging their visit to the two cities, to enjoy their hospitalities.— They could be doing worse things than spending a week in visiting our great East ern and Western Cities. Every thing which tends to make each section of our State feel an interest in the other, must result in good. If there is any one thing needed, it is a little more fraternity among all our people. s We see that there are still a divorce ease or two twisting their way through the halls. What has become of the general law re commended by the Commissioners, giving Courts enlarged powers ? Is nothing. to be done with it? And let us ask here, what has become of all those general laws, that that Board of Commissioners prepared and recommended? They are of much im portance to every body, and the passage of those, or similar laws, would ultimately save the Conunonwealth thousands of dol lars. Ts it intended to throw away the time and money expended to prepare these general laws ? If the Legislature purpose to act on them this winter, it is time they were about it. On Monday of last week, both houses met again in Convention, to open the bids for the State Printing—and again they ad journed, without doing so. The effort is, undoubtedly, to puss a now law, and then the Locos will get the printing; for it is iu tended not to have the printing let to the lowest bidder. A Petition was presented by Col. Whar ton, of David 131 air for the passage of a law, authorizing and directing the Canal Com missioners to examine into the ecndition and necessity of the dam at the mouth of the Raystown Branch, and to have the same removed; if unnecessary, or repaired and secured, if to be continued, so as not to en croach upon the laud of the petitioner—so as to continue and rept the damage to said petitioner front said dam; and to esti mate and sell or lease to petitioner the right to use the ,surplus water from said dam. A law of this kind should be passed at once. The dam referred to could easily be dispensed with, and be a saving to the State of many thousands of dollars. If, however, it is to be continued, it ought to be kept in repair. We would say, let the State permanently repair and secure it at once, and then sell or lease, to the adjoin ing land owners, thc•right to use the sur plus water; or if they prefer it, give them the right on condition that they keep up all the ordinary repairs of the dam and the out-let leek.

Pursuant to public Notice, a number of teachers and other friends of education, assembled in Huntingdon, on Tuesday Feb. 22nd 1853. A preparatory meeting took place at the Public House of Mrs. Hampeon, when the following agreement was drawn up, and ap proved viz: We the undersigned teachers of Hun tingdon county, hereby agree to meet in Convention this day, to promote the cause of general education, by devising means for the elevation and improvement of our profession, and agree to be governed by a constitution and by-laws, adopted by a ma jority of the members in Convention.

McDtv-' ITT, and Miss C. T. BENEDICT, were cho sen Secretaries. The officers chosen having taken their seats, it was, on motion, Resolved, That a committee of seven be appointed by the 'resident, to prepare business for the action of the Convention, whereupon the following gentlemen were I appointed said Committee: W. G. Waring, J. Campbell, T. Ward, David Baker,! W. P. Brown, J. S. Barr, and J. 3.1 Hall. During the absence of the Connnittee each member was called upon to state what he conceived to be the object of the Convention. Upon which Messrs. Cies ' horn, Tussey, Hudson, Brown, Wilson, Campbell, Ward, Stewart, Ewing, Foster, Rote, and others severally re sponded in brief addresses, which were I heard with much interest, until interrup ted by the return of the business Commit tee, who reported the following resolutions I which were read, and after discussion, I unanimously adopted, as follows, to wit: Resolved, That the teachers now assem bled in Convention, resolve themselves in to an Association to be called "the Teach ors Institute of Huntingdon County," and declare the present officers to be the regu lar officers of the Institute, until super seded by others to be chosen under the constitution, and ratified before the ad journment of the next meeting. Resolved, That a permanent Coinmittee of three be appointed by the President, to draft a Constitution and by-laws, for the' government of said Institution, to prepare' an address to the teachers and citizens of. the county, setting forth the objects, privi leges, and claims of the Institut 2; to name and arrange appropriate exercises for the Institute, at the next meeting; appoint the necessary Committees &c.; anti to publish the same through the papers of the county, at as early 'a day as practicable. Messrs. W. G. Waring, J. P. Mulkey, and J. A. Hall, were appointed said Com mittee, and were further instructed to fur nish a mitiute of their proceedings at the next meeting of the Institute. The following resoultion was then offer ed, and adopted, viz: Resolved, Thirst the teachers present, who I have practical knowledge and experience on the subject of Teachers' Institutes, be requested now to address this Convention. To this Messrs. Waring, and Bilker, re sponded in a few pertinent, interesting, and encouraging remarks, after which it was on motion, Resolved, That to promote harmonious co-operation between teachers, parents, pupils, and directors, and to procure uni formity in our common schools, we believe the appointment of experienced practical teachers, as County Superintendents, would I prove highly beneficial; and we respectful ly urge the Legislature to amend the pres ent school law, so as to provide for their appointment. Resooved, That wo regard the Penn i sylvania. School Journal, as the very best ' publication of the kind that has fallen on ' der our notice, and earnestly recommend its extensive circulation.

The appointments were unanimously confirmed by the Senate. Hayti. Rev. W. L. Judd, who has spent sever al years in Hayti, in a letter to the Bos ton Traveller thus speaks of the character of the people, and the security for life and property among them : "I hesitate not to say that I believe • 1 there has been the past six years less mur der, less robbery, and lem incendiarism, at Port au Prince, than in any city of the same size, and during the same period, in the United States. During this whole pe riod, & even longer,there has been but one fire in that city of thirty thousand inhabi tants ! Where can a parallel ease be found !in the United States ? I hove travelled in the country at all hours Of the day and night, "o'er mountain heights and in val leys low," in lonely forests and timid cul tivated fields, and have never been treated with disrespect by the coarsest peasant or the rudest mountaineer. In these journeys I have never been refused a night's lodg ing at the poorest cabin where from neces sity or convenience I chose to stop. And when I have called for the bill of fare, I am almost universally answered by the ex pression, "Just what you choose to give." (Co que eons voulez me donnez, or, in the simple patios of the paysan, ca on von luz bailie moi.) And, although it is the land of the old buccaneers, and where the example of foreigners has exhibited more violence and fraud than of gentleness and honesty, still from Tiburon to Samana, and from Jaemel to Cape Hayden, I know of not .a single cove where a ship may not en ter, nor a single mountain fastness where a traveller may not pass with safety from robbers." Highly Important from Mexico. NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 20.—We are in possession, by the steamship Albatross, from Vera Cruz, of late and highly impor tant advices from the city of Mexico. The contract to construct a railway across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, has been finally awarded to Col. A. G. Sloe Company. Col. Hobbes and Gen. Urga had arrived at the Mexican Capital. President Ceballos has resigned the of fice of l'resident pro tem. of the Republic, in consequence of being unable. to agree with the ministers and Gen. Urga; where upon Urga and the Mexican garrison at once pronounced in favor of the return of Santa Anna. • Gen. tombardine has been chosen Pre sident ad interim. Gen. Bustamente, who has been three times chosen President of Mexico, is dead. A contract has been definitly concluded with an American company, for carrying the mails across Mexico to California. POPULATION OF PENNSYLVANIA.—Wo learn from the triennial assessment, just completed, that there are in the State of Pennsylvania 506,133 taxable inhabitants, the counties of Forest and Montour except ed, no returns being received from them. If we allow 14,000 inhabitants to these two counties, and fix the proportion of tax ables to population at 1 to 51 the popula tion of Pennsylvania, at the present time wculd be 2,797,731. If the proportion were 1 to s}, the population would be 2,- 671,194. If the proportion were Ito 5, the population would be 2,544,665. It cannot be less than this. In the year 1850 the United States census showed the State to possess a population of 2,311,000. Ta king the propel tion to be 1 to s}, the pop ulation would show an increase in two years of 360,198. KossuTlT.—The New York Courier speaking of Kossuth and his reported re turn to the United States, says— „ We speak advisedly when we say he dare not return. We speak from knowl edge and the evinednce of our own eyes, when we say, that he required the generos ity of our people by the basest ingratitude, and that before ho slunk from our shores under the alias Alexander Smith, lie sign ed a contract to head an expedition from this city against a country with which we are at peace, in open defiance of our Neu trality Laws. This we say we know from the evidences of our own eyes, before the inf..mous contract was deposited in the De partment of State; and if he ventures again to come among us, our Government, whether Whig or Deniccrat, will not hesi tate to arrest and punish him.” THE gentleman and lady who came near being shot by the rifle ball which was fired through the Baltimore cars on Monday last, were a Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Ludlow, of this City who were on their wedding tour.
