This Institution, which has fur some time en
joyed a patronage and reputation equal to many
respectable Colleges, will commence the Summer
Section under new, and very fltvorable auspices.

The Globe's Scavenger.
The occasion which made it our duty to notice
this mifortunate individual, is now past and se
curely placed out of the reach of his malign inter
ference. We have no motive for pursuing him
further. And, stripped as he is, of the collater
al influences which for a time gave him some lit
tle importance, no honorable man will expect us
to reply to his brutal abuse or shameless fidsehoods.
Ile stand atone once more; and there we mean to
leave him to cater for the depraved appetite of the
base faction which lie represents, just as long as
the inconsiderate goodotature of Mr. Lewis shall
permit him to defile his columns, and nauseate his
more respectable readers. Defying his St nab,
and despising his cowardly threats, we resign him
to the sportive attentions of the poetical 'Tickles."

it embraces all the important doings of the Con

other luivi . ng reference to their moralcharacter—

with their post office address.
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.

lookout - for Theta!
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.

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,

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.”
