Sea. We have no Congressional news of im
portance for this week's issue.. It is probable
that the Prohibitory Liquor bill will not become
o law this Session of our Legislature. The
main line of the Public Works will probably
be mull _ •
Wt. The address by "J. M.," handed to us
for publication, is an able production, worthy
of an exhibition to the public, but its great
length precludes it from our columns.
i Gov. Seymour's message, vetoing the
New York anti-liquor bill is of great length.—
It commences in the following pretty plain
manner, and as it proceeds, gets praiser and
stronger..
He says he has given it the respectful con.
sideration due the importance of the subject,
and the deliberate action of the two branches
of the Legislature. Ito says ho cannot sign
the bill, for he believes its provisions are calm'.
lated to impair the welfare of the State.
He aye this bill is unconstitutional, is un
just and oppressive in its character, and sub
versive of well-settled principles of legislation.
`From the returns thusfar received of
the Connecticut election, says the Daily News,
we have no - doubt that the Administration has
suet with an overwhelming defeat. Fifteen
Whigs and three Administration Senators had
been elected, and one hundred and twenty-four
Whigs and anti-Nebraska Representatives, to
seventy-four Administration members. Ing
ham, the Democratic candidate for Governor,
would lack, it was said, several thousand votes
of an election. The Aiministration will soon
have abundant evidence, we opine, of the un
popularity of the Nebraska bill.
NM. The Harrisburg Union (the central
Democratic organ,) says :
"It is but just to award credit to our Whig
friendi for having selected their best men, at
this time. Col. Pollock is a gentleman of Mir
fame, an excellent stump speaker, and of much
experience in political life.
Mr. Darsie has had great experience in our
political councils. He is a fluent and ready
debater, and .of unblemished character, and if
he should be elected, he would make one of the
most efficient Canal Commissioners the board
ever had.
Judge Smyser is said to be a lawyer of read
ing and of sound legal mind."
Whig Victories.
"It is a long lane which has no turn," and
the Whig party has at last reached that turn,
the defeat of the Locofbcos iu New Hampshire
being the first cheering news; but close upon
that we have the glorious tidings of an over.
whclmipg Whig victory in Connecticut--Gover•
nor, Legislature and all State officers Whig.—
Such
a complete change has not been witness
ed for years, and has already brought the old
coon out of his hiding place. Again another
victory greets us in Rhode Island. Hoppin,
the it candidate for Governor, has been
elected, and a strong Whig Legislature, which
secures all the State officers to the Whigs. Is
it not glorious news for that party which was
annihilated, aye, actually buried in 1852; but
it is no use to whip us, we won't stay whipped.
The greater our defeat, the more certain well
rise up and overthrow :you. What have our
Loeofoeo friends to say of these disastrous
elections? Suppose you put up your "Shang
hais" again, and if you do, we will put a coon
on top of them. If the New Hampshire elec.
tion was a "settler" to the Administration,
these last in Connecticut and Rhode Island
must certainly be death blows. Gov. Bigler
can read his fate in the recent actions of these
States. His hour has come, and he must give
tap the ghost.

Sale of the Public Works.
Honsr.—The House resumed the second
reading and consideration of the bill for the
sale of the public works.
The question being on the motion to post
pone the bill indefinitely.
Mr. Monaghan resumed his remarks upon
the bill under consideration. He remarked
that the price originally fixed for that line, in
the report of the Senate .committee was $l2,-
000,000. The bill, under consideration, pro
posed to take $10,000,000 for the main line.—
If a similar deduction be made from the prices
named for the other divisions, the total loss will
be $3,333,333. The prices originally fixed,'
are not too high, and are, indeed, rather below
than above the mark. The main line is worth
fifteen millions: but if that cannot be obtained,
an effort should be made to abtain no much as
possible. In addition, this bill contemplates
the payment of all the old debts due to con
tractors at the time of the transfer, which will
be at least $1,000,000, and will, to that amount,
reduce the actual proceeds from the sole. The
bill also proposes to repeal the three mill tax,
now levied on the tonage passing over the
Pennsylvania railroad, the receipts from which,
during the last fiscal year, were equal to five
per cent. on $1,533,333. And the officers of
the Pennsylvania railroad calculate the tax
during the present fiscal year will be equal to
five per cent. on $3,000,000—a1l of which
amounts, if actually deducted from the price
nanied,.will reduce the actual price received by
the State, to the paltry sum of $6,000,000. Tn
addition, the bill fixes the interest on the
bonds,at five per cent. whereas it should be
six per cent:, the difference between the taxes
against the Commonwealth, being about $750,-
000; thus causing as additional rqduction of
the prices below what they ought to be, and
making this sale amount almost to a giving
away, as some members are willing to do.--
This bill also, if successful, will place nll the
local transporters in the power of the Central
railroad company, thus doing great injury to a
large class of business men. Mr. M.. argued
the subject at considerable length. He was in
favor of a sale—at not less than $12,000,000
and of opening the line when sold, to the free
competition of all who choose to enter open it.
Mr, Stockdale deprecated the manner in
which the bill had been discussed, and review-
ed the course of the gentleman frunt Chester
[Mr: blo e.teo.tx,J arguing that it war . caleula
ted to defeat not merely this bill. but also the
lle'had wished that the di
sale of the works,
mission would have proceeded on each sec
tion; that each section might be perfected, and
the bill thus relieved of some features which
were justly objectionable in a majority of the
members. He was of opinion that this was
not the best bill which had been prepared, and
if that could not be obtained, he could take
this bill. . .
Mr. Abraham continued in remarks open
the Speech of the gentleman from Chester, and
avowed himself in favor of the sale of the pub
lic works at almost any price.
Mr. Johnson said he was in favor of the first
section of the bill under considerationond he
was in favor of a sale; but that he was opposed
to the limitations, restrictions and discrimina
tions contained in the bill in favor of the Pens
sylvania railroad. lie was opposed to fixing
as the minimum price, the amount named.—
He was opposed to the provision that if "any
company" bid that price within thirty days,
they shall have the line. This thirty days limi
tation, in his opinion, cut off all competition
against the Pennsylvania railroad, for they
were now organized, had made their estimates
of the value, and were ready to bid the day
tire work was thrown in the market. In fact,
he thought the hand of that corporation could
bo traced through the whole bill. The thirty
days' limitation was equal to mating off nil
competition. No company could organize in
that time, and be ready to pay $2,000,000
down in cash. He KM opposed to the repeal
of the three mill tax. That was another fee
tore in the bill which discriminated in favor of
the Pennsylvania railroad. If that road be
came the purchaser, the three mill tax was to
be repealed. if not, it was to be repealed. It
was, in short, heads I win and tail you lose.--
He was opposed to putting this bill upon its
fiord passage before any consideration was giv.
, en by the House to the Bills for the sale of the
other divisions and branches of the public
works. He was in great doubt as to the value
of these works. All kinds of out-door influen
ces were at work. Everybody seemed to be
guessing at their value excepting, perhaps. the
Pennsylvania railroad company, who kept
their mouths sealed. He bad expected from
what the gentleman said the other day, that
they were so well booked up on this subject,
they would be able to give us some data by
which the value of these works was to be as
certained. But what had they said? Why,
nothing but mero general declarations in favor
of a sale. Ho hoped the motion to postpone
would not prevail, As that a vote might he ta
ken upon the first section of the bill.
Mr. M'Combs hoped the motion to postpone
iudifinitely, would he withdrawn, and that a
vote would be taken at once, on the first sec
tion.
Mr. Eldred said there was something in the
first section which he could not understand.—
The section did not state who the corporators
were, nor did it contain any of the regulations
which were necessary. Last year, the gentle
man from Philadelphia I Mr. Strong] had pre
pared a bill proposing to sell to main line, at
$15,000,000, with a cash payment of $4,000,-
' 000 from the purchaser. IVOto, the same line
is elffered at $10,000,000, with a cash payment
of $2,000,000 and no other payment in less
than four years. He could not understand why
the works should be so much less valuable now
than last year. There were other objections
in the bill which he was pointing out. Last
year it was proposed to ask six per cent. inter
est on the bonds given by the purchaser. Now
it is offered to take live per cent. Also, the
bill contained no provision for the protection
of transporters; which is an act of manifest in.
justice. Before he had concluded his remarks,
the hour of five having arrived.
The Speaker adjourned the House until 9
o'clock to-morrow morning.
The Speaker presented the following com
munication :
To time Speaker of Me Muse of Rtpmenlatices
of Pennsylealia.
Stn:—lnareport recently made by the ma
jority of a Committce of the Senate, to whom
was referred that portion of the Governor'S
message relative to the sale of the public works,
they say that: •'in. the Governor's message it
is stated that in 1552, the work to avoid the
Allegheny inclined planes. was estimated to
cost the meng,er sum of $591,000. It also
states that $650,000 have since been expended
in the work, and that $600.000 is still required
to bring the work into nse:'
The message of the Governor refers to a sin
gle track road, but it is well known to the com
mittee that the road is being graded for a
double track road, and that five miles of a
double track has actually been completed and
in use for more than a year. The Covent°,
however, has omitted saying any thing about
the improvement of the long level, although
the work has been in progress for nearly two •
years, and is estimated by my successor to
cost $193,000.
These obvious errors are unqualifiedly en
domed by the committee in their report, al
though a previous Legislature had sanctioned
both the double track road and the improve
ment of the long let-el, with a full knowledge
that my estimate reported in 1812 for the said
works amounted to between eighteen and nine
• Iteen hundred thousand dollar 4.
The following statement will show the items

Deduct twentyfico per cent. on
$lOO,OOO expended before the rise
of labor and materials,
Out of the first appropriation of $175,000,
only about $lOO,OOO was expended before the
rise in the price of labor and materials, $50,-
000 had been loaned to the North Branch ca
nal, and about $25,000 remained in the Treas
ury. Now how„will the message and report of
the committee compare with fiats:
Estimate for completing single track,
made in 1051, as per message, $501,000
Work authorized by Legislature of-
ter 1851,
Amount eirpended since
1851, $650,000
Amount required to bring
work into use as per
message, 600.000
51,250.000
„
It will thus be seen that to bring the work
into use, it will cost $'25,250 less than could
have been anticipated, taking all the cirenm.
'stances into view, and that there was no obvb
ous error in. the original estimate. I therefore,-
respectfully ask that the above statement be
place on the journal of your House.

The Washington correspondent of the Phil.
adelphin Daily News, saga:
The refusal of the Leedom Convention at
Harrisburg, which nominated Gov. Bigler for
re-election, to endorse the Administration
seheme to repeal the Missouri Compromise,
has opened the eyes of a good many fins hero
to the dangerous precipice from which Doug
lass would have the so-called Democracy to
make a blind and reckless leap. It was con
fidently predicted, before the assembling of the
Convention, that it liould not only nominate
Gov. Bigler fur re-election, but place him up
on a platform endorsing the Administration,
and all its measures, that fur the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise among the rest. Its re
fusal to do so, it may rendily be conceived,
came upon the Administration and its friends
in Congress like a clap of thunder-on a cloud
less day, and some of them have not even the
discretion to hide their disappointment and
chagrin, but rail out in the most denunciatory
terms at Gov. Bigler, for what they are pleased
to term his want of nerve, and his milk and
water courage. The Union, which on all oth
er subjects speaks so authoritatively for the
Administration, has thus far maintained a strict
silence on the snbject. Its readers have, so
far, been left in total ignorance of the doings
at Harrisburg. It has not published the tele
graphic despatch which appeared in all the
other papers in the city, announcing the nomi
nation of the Convention. Gov. Bigler has
received no congratulations from it on his re
nomination, much less has it thought it to be
its duty to applaud the fiction of the Conven
tion. "Straws show which way the wind blows."
tiov. Bigler and his friends, I doubt not,
thought it a master stroke of policy to dodge
the great issue of the day, but they are mista
ken if they suppose lie can be re-elected by
dodging an issue which will be made the lead
ing one in the next canvass. They cannot
hope in this way to delude free boilers lute
his support, while the silence of the convention
on a leading measure of the National Admin
istration, will tend very much to cause indiffer
ence and lukewarinness in his support by the
friends and office-holders of the latter. Nor is
this the only effect the action of the convention
will have.- It has already, and will still more,
iamage Gov. Bigler in the estimation of those
who thought well of him in other States. The
conduct of the convention is regarded as un
manly, time-serving, and unworthy the charae,.
ter and pretensions of a great party like this
sn-called Democracy of Pennsylvanin, It is
akin to the Polk and Dallas tariff swindle of
18.18; but it is but once in a life-time that such
a swindle con be successful, and there is but
little probability that the good people of Penn
sylvania can again thus be duped.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune
gives an additional item—ride/kit:
"There was a great quarrel at the Pennsyl•
vania Convention, which does nut appear un
the surface. Forney was there, with Nebras
ka resolutions in his pocket, which were rejec•
ted.by the Committee on resolutions. A great
rupture already exists in the party, covered by
a very thin epidermis, which will not hold over
one election if it does so long. Douglass and
the President Consider that they have suffered
great damage by the failure of their trusty
Lieutenant to bring the liepstone State up to
the murk."
Locofocoism on the Decline.
The so-wiled Democracy is in a truly pitia
ble condition. So far from :sliding to its
strength, and harmonizing its organization, its
unprecedented coerces in 1F52 seems but the
initiative steps towards its own dissolution.—
There is not now a State in the Chien, unless
it be the Ohl Dominion, in which the party in
not utterly disorganized, and incapable of a vi
prowl and united rally at the next State elec
tion. In Maine, which gave Gen. Pierce a
large majority, there exists a bitter and irree.
'onctlable feud, in consequence of which a Whig
Governor was cleated last year, and the Whigs
have thin year succeeded not only in re.eleet
big him, but in electing that gallant and able
Whig, William Pitt Fessenden, for a term of
six years to the United States Senate. In New
Hampshire,• which has ever heretofore so in
flexibly adhered to the Loco Porn school of
politics, and is regarded as peculiarly under
the guardian management of the President
himself, the result of the late election has beets
such no to warrant the belief that the next two
United States Senators from that State will be
of opposite politics to those of the present Sena
tors. Rhode Island and Connecticut, which
for a while departed from their ancient and
true faith, are lmth giving lively si.no otrepen
twice, and the indications manigted by them
are such, an to leave no doubt that they will at
an early day resume their positions iu the line
of Whig States. la New York, the fetill exist

reverses which it has met with in other States,
the so-called Democracy of this State enters
upon the present canvass with conscious fore.
bodings of defeat, while the Whigs are full of
confidence, and, we hope, will exert themselves
accordingly. Commencin7 the canvass in this
spirit is half the victory. This Covernor
Big
ller and his friends are well aware of, and better
the desponding spirit which characterizes their
first efforts at organization fur the campaign.
They know that there are thousands of mem
bers of their own party. who are hostile to both
i the State and National Administrations, and
who are much more likely quietly to-deposite

The Six Millions Appropriationßill.
Mr. Roberts. Chairman of the Wars' .and
Means Committee in the House, has published
a letter, in which he complains of the statement
made in the newspapers that the appropria
tion now asked amounts to over six millions.
He gives a garbled statement, but only in•
eludes what suits his convenience. Tho alarm
which this report has created is dangerous to
the peace of the Locollico party, and the pow.
ers are busy nt work quieting the "troubled wit.
tors." The system of making special appropri
ations which hiss beets adopted of late by the
Locofoco majority, may have the effect to cut
down the size of the monster, and divide it in
parcels, but as "cents make dollars," so will
thousands make millions, and when we mint'
up all these sums wo will have the extraordin.
cry appropriation of over six millions by our
State legislature. You May deny it as much
as von please, but when the several SUMS are
added up they will amount to the sum named.
Now, what all this money is is for we do not.
know, unless it is to reelect Gov. Bigler, to cf.
feet which will cost thousands of the people's
money. Some of our virtuous neighbors np
pear indignant at the assertion that this fund
will be directed toward the election of Gov.
Bigler. Strict honesty, purity ofcharacter nod
morals, are virtues always claimed by our Lo.
cofeco brcthern, and we are not . surprised to
see them raise their hands in surprise at our
impeaching their motives. They always try
to snake the people believe they are like Cie
oar's wife, "above suspicion;' but unfortunate
ly their deeds are so inconsistent with their
professions, that we are forced to doubt their
virtue. It is a sure sign there is rascality about
to bear those engaged in it quarrelling, and we
now hear the Canal Board charged with all
kinds of misdemeanors. If all is true the Ls•
inform say about the Canal Board and their
disbursement of the millions under their con
trol every year, and we don't doubt it, coming
from such reliable sources, we think the soon
er they are dragged into the Quarter Sessions
the better, as the example they set to the rising
generation is as pernicious as their violation
of the laws is bold and reckless. We hope the
Whig members, ono and all, will oppose this
extraordinary approprihtion, And if it is passed
let it be by a strict party vote, and the people
will know who to blame with this high•banded
piece of extravagauce.—Awrisburg Telegraph.

A Lesson for Gov. Seymour.
On the morning of the 28th ult., Therton
Alexanderwas killed by 'Runt nt the plane of
his residence; Winchester, Indiana, leaving
widow and fire young children in abject paver
ty nn , l heart: rending agony. Ho was a man of
more than ordinary ability, of generous impul
ses told flattering prospects in life, until the
web of the Destroyer was woven about his
heart. A little before be breathed his last, he
said to the iv. , epia , 4 circle around 1118 bedside,
"I ant dying. whiskey hos done it: May those
who knee sold me the poison die as painful a
death as mine." So he died, leaving his des
titute family in anguish unutterable.
At 4 o'clOck that same afternoon, a proves
cession of forty or fifty of the nobler women of
.Winchester, with the agonized widow nt their
head, appeared in the streets of 'that town.—
They proceeded in marching order to the ruin
grocery of David Aker, handed him n pledge
that he would sell no more liquor there,
and de•
mended his signature. He demurred; but they
were resolute, and at length he pet down his
name, opened 1113 doors, and told them to take
out his remaining stork of liquor and destroy
it. Four barrels of Whiskey and six or eight
kegs of what are called, Brandy, Gin, Wine.
&c., (all drugged, adulterated Whiskey, of
course,) were then rolled out and emptiest into
the street. The estimated value of the liquor
($110) was then senile up to him by subscrip
tion, and the Temperance pioneers moved on.
The next halt was at Wm. Page's, (another
groggery,) where they met with a stouter resis
tance. Page refused to sign, and shut his door
in their flares. They chopper' it down, knock,
ed in his window, rolled the barrels into the
street and peered out the liquor. They then
marched to James Ennis's, who signed the
pledge; thence to Edward Better's, who did
likewi,e; titmice to Way st Mier's, who also
signed; thence to H. P. Kizer's •drug-store,
where they met with equal success; then to
ltinnger's, who utterly refused to. stop selling.
His daughter, however, who was ono of the
most active pioneers, pushed into the house,
brought out a keg of liquor, and sieve in the
head. The procession next 'visited Wilson's
grocery; he took the pledge; thence to Craig's
drug-store, with equal success; and then ad
journed to meet at half. pest two next day, to
destroy the brewerythe only place in town '
where they Had not established the principle of
Prohibition. Binager gave in his adhesion
during the evening, leaving Page 'alone in his
glory' as a would-be rumseller if he only had
any to sell.
A post Tnorlem examination of Alexander's
body was magic by the doctors that evening.--
They reported hint "murdered by whiskey"—
' the coats of his stomach having been entirely
eaten op by it. Mrs. Alexander thereupon in
stituted proceedings against Page and Bina
ger, for causing the death of her husband. So
the case stood at the date of our last advices
, —lf those Winchester rumsellers are justly
responsible for the death of AleNander, how
many (tenths by - Aleholie poison will lie at the
door of Horatio Seymour?

of Signs and Pass Words.
The Philadelphia Register is down on the

Know Nothings, and tne Editor has the temer
ity to enter even the whet., sanclortem of the

cred mysteries. He gives the following as the
signs of recognition;
"When an acquaintance scratches his left
eyebrow with his right forefinger and looks
straight into. our eyes, you may be sure ho has
not known enough to keep out of bad company.
Or if, when he shakes hands with you, he pres
ses with his middle finger the lowest joist of
your little fume, he is certainly an ignoramus
after the new titAsion. In the latter case, say
"where slid vet get that?" he will answer "1
dent know:'fhis is untrue, But to be even
with hint, you most. tell the same fib by reply
ing. "I don't know either." After these pre
'Militaries, enter into conversation with him,
andyou will find that he really knows very lit•
de alma the society into which he has been
inveigled, and little suspects that he is nester
the orders of that notorious seape grace, Ned
Buntline, Commander-hi-chief at New York

CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT,
IT IS AN ERRONEOUS IDEA that dis
ease cannot be. cured except by tithing large
quantities of medicines into the stomach, iu
great ninny cams of which ninth jujury is done,
although tie disease in point be artually cured.
The coats of the stomach by continued use of
nauseating'mixtures, frequently become so
much disordered that the digerticc (unction is
seriously injurea—llke result of which is dys
pepsin, nervousness, eholies, alternate diarrhoea
ttdßl costiveness, flatulence, nightmare, etc., etc.
Would it nut, therefore, be vary desirable to
possess a restudy, which being applied extern
ally would excite the absorbents to increased
action, and thus carry offthruugh this mediate,
the deleterious principle which is the direct
cause of the disease? Surely every thinking
unit will admit that this would not only be the
most pleasant, but by far the safest means to
effect the desired end. The almost supeehu•
