The Steamer City of Glasgow.
The most serious fears are entertained for
the safety of this ship, which Bailed from Glas
gow for Philadelphia, on the lst of March, and
is now out sixty-four days, and has never been
spoken to, or seen since. She bad on board
about three hundred passengers, and a cargo
valued at a million of dollars. There are strong
reasons to fear that she has met a fate similar
to that of the Presittent, from which no tidings
were received. The Philadelphia papers, how
ever, still cling to the hope that she is safe, and
refer to the ease of the Atlantic, which was un
heard of for a longer period of time, and even
tually succeeded In making her way back to
Liverpool. A. subscription is on foot to char
ter a steamer to go in search of the Glasgow.
PHILADELPIIIA.—AII parties have made their
principal nominations for municipal offices.—
The Whigs have nominated Hon. Robert T.
Conrad for Mayor, and Isaac Tlazelburst, Esq.,
for City Solicitor. The Locofocos have nomi
nated Richard Vanx fur Mayor, Wm. L. Hirst,
Esq., for City Solicitor, and Wm. Badger, for
Controller. The Natives have nominated Hon.
Robert T. Conrad, for Mayor, and \Ym. I). Ba.
her, for . Solicitor. Judge Conrad, it will bo
seen, is the candidate of both the Whigs and
the Natives, and no human ngency can prevent
his election. There are few men in Philadelphia
who could bring to the discharge of the responsi
ble duties the same talent and peculiar fitness.
The Public Works.
The hill for the sale of the 11Inin Line of the
Public Works, which has passed both Houses,
and Is now in the hands of the Governor, has
excited a large share of public interest, and wo
have no doubt meets the hearty approval of the
people.
, .
Upon this subject, we have no partizan views
to carry out, but speak as citizens of the State,
who have a direct interest in the institution of
light taxes, a cheap government and faithful
public officers to administer our affairs. We
are entirely satisfied that the Public Works can
never be economically administered by the
State; of this we have ample experience, and
are tired and wearied in considering the sub
ject in connection with any proposed change or
practicable reformation in the system. The
Works must be sold, and the quicker it is done
the better, and we hope it will be done without
any unnecess.try delay. The lowest price fixed
upon the ➢lain Lino is ten millions of dollars.
But the Canal Commissioners adopted a bold
and daring plot to defeat the solo of the Public
Works. The bill provides that the purchasers
shall not charge higher rates of toll than are
"now" charged by the Commonwealth. The
meaning of the Legislature indisputably wan
that higher rates should not be charged than
was charged at the time they passed the bill;
but the Canal Commissioners, in defiance of
this popular branehe the Government, and
making a mock of fair dealing and honesty, on
the 22d ult., got together and reduced the rates
of toll! hoping thereby to defeat the sale and
continue the plundering operations. We think
all honest men will be startled at the boldness
of the trick.
New York City.
On Tuesday night of last week, about 8 o'-
clock, a fire broke out in the six story building
No. 231 Broadway, occupied as a wholesale
and retail clothing store. The fire originated
in tho upper part of the building, but how or
in what manner has not as yet been ascertain
ed. Only a short time elapsed before several
powerful streams were poured into the build
ing, but the flames spread with astonishing ra
pidity, defying every effort of the firemen.—
Many of the firemen rushed into the second
story so that they would have a fair chance of
throwing copious streams upon the flames.—
While so engaged in the building a portion of
the rear wall fell with a tremendous crash, car
rying with it several of the firementhrough the
sky-light at the end of the building, upon the
first floor. The remaining fireman maintained
their position, when in a short time another
portion of the wall fell, carrying with it some
fifteen or sixteen of the men into the base
ment story. Many firemen were at work on
the first floor rescuing from the ruins those
first injured and these also met with a similar
fate.
The whole number of lives lost by this to
ble disaster, at our last accounts, was thirteen,

Gov. Bigler has given notice to the Commit
tees of the two Houses not to present to him
bills chartering or're.chartering banks until af
ter the expiration of six days from their final
passage—that being the period within which
the rules permit re-consideration of any vote to
be made. As it is almost certain that the Le
gislature will adjourn on Tuesday the 2d of
May, the Governor hopes in this way, it is sup
posed, to avoid acting upon these bills, which
he would be required to do if they were placed
in his hands ten days before the final adjourn
ment of the Legislature. This is a dodging of
responsibilities that we dislike to see; and it
looks as if ho intended to hold the bills in his
hands during the election canvass to be
used to promote his success. In this kind
of policy the Governor is mistaken. He
can lose no votes by signing bins to charter
banks, where the wants of the people require
them—nor by re-chartering old banks that are
in good standing; and by holding them in his
power, he will lose the confidence of the friends
and of the enemies of banks, both of whom will
distrust him. A vascillating and doubtful
course on such a question, carries with it con
viction of weakness and insincerity, and never
can gain fur a candidate for public favor any
strength. Gov. Porter, at the time when radi
calism ruled the democracy did not hesitate to
take a bold stand against it, and he was sus
tained by an increased majority. Goy. Bigler
can make no political capital by a different
course.

Good Testimony.

by an honorable (imager& who e -ener one of
the highest offices at HarriO—dg, and is known
to almost every yof *a in Greene county. In
speaking of the Whig nominations, he says:
"Two of your nominees, your Governor and
Supreme Judge, I have a mere personal ac
quaintance with. I think they are good men.
But as to George Darsie, I will endorse his
honesty and capability in any crowd. All that
can be said against George by those whoknow
him is that he is a Whig, I should not be afraid
to entrust any thing to him where the interest
of the State is concerned. He is the beat nomi

The Prohibitory Liquor Law.
The Committee of Conference of the two
Houses, on the difference between them on the
subject of a prohibitory liquor law, met on
Thursday evening, and agreed up the report.—
It consists of a preamble and three sections.—
The preamble sets forth the causes which have
led to the prohibitory movement, and the sec
tions prescribe the mode in which it is propos
ed to settle it. They provide for a vote of the
people, on the second Tuesday of October
next, for and against the enactment of a law
to prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxi
cating liquors, except for mechanical,artistical,
medicinal and sacramental purposes. The
law, in case one be enacted, to be enforced by
adequate constitutional processes and penalties;
and the vote of the people to considered their
prayer to the next Legislature. One of the
sections proscribes the manner in which the
ballots are to be prepared, and authorizes the
Sheriffs of the several counties of the Com
monwealth to give the usual legal notice of the
election on this subject. The probabilities are,
that this report will be adopted by both Hous
es. Should either rej ect it, no other opportu
nity wilt be presented this season for any legis
tam . upon the question.

A Popular Vote on Prohibition.
The Senate has adopted the report of the
Conference Committee on the disagreement of
the two Houses upon the terms of a Prohibito
ry Law, and it is thought the lower branch will
also give its concurrence. Should this be so,
the people of the Commonwealth will be called
at the general elections in their respeetNe pre
cincts, to vote for or against a law "whit% shall
entirely prohibit, by proper and constitutional
regulations and penalties, the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors,. except for medici
nal, sacramental, mechanical, and artistical
purposes." The result of this vote is to be
communicated to the next Legislature, by the
Secretary of State, to be opened And counted
as the votes for Governor are, and is to be "con
sidered as the prayer of the voters of this Com
monwealth relative to a Prohibitory Law."—
How will this affect the cause of Temperance
reform; how far will it go towards relieving the
community from the evil effects of intoxicating
liquors, and what course should the friends of
prohibition pursue in relation to it? These
are important considerations, which demand
the fullest investigation. We cannot see what
good can result from the passage of this net
authorizing a popular vote—for the difficulty
in framing a law does not arise from .y mate
rial diversity as to the necessity of legal res
traint over the selling of liquor, but from the
contrariety of opinion as to domestic and pri
vaterights,and the fear of infringing the consti
tutional guarantees for the security of the peo
ple in their persons, houses, and effects against
unwarrantable searches and seizures, and the
delicacy of authorizing a warrant of search or
seizure sufficiently stringent to detect all viola
tions and violators of the law, and yet at the
same time guarding with jealous care the in=
herent and indefeasible rights of the citizen.
The principle of Prohibition has no oppo
nents except the keepers of low groggeries, and
those who have made, or are making fortunes
by the equally infamous traffic of adulterating
liquors. It is therefore probable that a large
affirmative vote ens be procured for the bill
we nre considering. But suppose it goes to
the next Legislature with fifty thousand maj.,
"as the prayer of the voters of this Common
wealth, relative to a Prohibitory Liquor Law"
how are legislators instructed by it? Both
branches now in session at Harrisburg' have
passed Prohibitory Laws—one togodirectly in
to operation,the other to be submitted to the peo
ple for approval,and yet they cannot agree upon
a definite bill carrying out theprinciple. Sena
tor PRICE, fur instance, if he has not changed
his mind again since the eleventh of last Feb
ruary, could not be induced to vote for any
bill which might he framed upon any basis yet
proposed, although he may mock the friends
of Prohibition with the assertion that he "de
sires the same end that other temperance men
do." How can "the prayer of the voters" ever
have any advisory influence with him or other
impracticables like him? This voting on a mere
abstract question, without specifying its details,
to our view the most supreme nonsense
world, and with all proper respect for sue,
.epresentatives as have advocated the plan, we
must say they have exhibited perspicacity, on
ly equalled by the foolish Greek, who carried
around a brick as a specimen of the house he
desired to sell! Let the prayer of fifty thou
sand majority go up to the Legislature next,
year, as expressed on their ballots, "for a Pro
hibitory Liquor Law," and what do they gain?
How will it affect the cause of Temperance re
form, or how far will it go towards relieving
the community from the effects of intoxicating
liquors? Why is it that on this question "it is
impossible to obtain a certain indication of
popular sentiment by petitions and remonstran
ces?" Are legislators blind to the crushing
evils of intemperance, or do they believe that
the flood-gates of every still should he opened
to deluge the land! Why is it necessary, on
this question alone, to recite in a preamble
that "in a free commonwealth all laws, to be
efficient, should have the approbation and sanc
tion of the people, and no law be passed repug
nant to their wishes, and none constitutional
in its provisions he withheld, which a majority
of them may desire." Are not these the basis
of all legislation, and is it not worse than folly
to recite such truisms gravely, as prefatory to
,an enactment? Are the public wishes always
respected ? Ten years ago the people of Pa.
decided by popular vote for the sale of the Pub
lic Improvements, but they still remain the
property of the Commonwealth. This fall the
people may decide for Prohibition,but will that
have a binding force upon the action of the
next Legislature? All experience shows that
such a hope is worse than madness.
But what course should the friends of Prohi
bition pursue if this bill becomes a law? It is
clear that no other present prospect of relief
can be obtained in arresting the flood of intern
perance, which is rolling its desolating surges
over our land. Instead of direct legislation we
are offered an unworthy evasion, a paltry quib
ble, a time serving shifting . of responsibility
upon the eve of a gubernatorial election. What
need of a vote of the people on a subject in
which the dearest interests of millions are in
volved by the suppression of crime, the remo
val of oppressive taxes, and the ten thousand
glaring evils which are the legitimate fruit of
the liquor traffic! A vote of the people? Why,
more than two years since, the Legislature had
the "prayer of the voters," in the form of petii
, tions, to which three hundred thousand signa
tures were attached; and at the last October
election it was again expressed by 52,880 dis
' find temperance votes, and 52,678 temperance
votes, mixed with other parties, making an
ag
gregate of 155,558 votes. But this is not
enough, it seems, we must have another vote.
Be it so then: Let the friends of Prohibition
accept the issue, and it will be such a vote.

and again express their

....me liquor traffic. Any other course would
be eminently unwise, and fearfully disastrous.
The enemies of Prohibition will, to a man, east
a solid voto against it. If its friends, for any
cause, should refuse doing so; or if their vote,
through supineness, neglect or disgust, should
be meagre, or especially less than that of its
opponents, it would be proclaimed and regard
ed as the defeatlof Prohibition, and the triumph
of its adversities. It would be useless to show
that its friends declined voting, to account fiir
the result: demonstrate that as clearly as a
proposition in Euclid, and it would be unavail
ing. The vote would be appealed to, and the
result of the vote, whatever it might be, would
be received as the "prayer of the voters." Our
counsel, then is, for every friend of Prohibition
to make up his mind, without wavering, to go
to the polls and cast his vote, in accordance
with the needlesss—or, if you please, unwise
mandato of the Legislature. There is no doubt
of the result, if the friends of Prohibition are
united, energetic, and resolute in purpose. But
if they are divided as to their true policy—if
they are supine or neglectful, the moat disas
trous results will be the inevitable cense.

Hope.
The Wisconsin farmers have been turning
their attention to the culture of hops. The
crop is said to be a very profitable one, and
can be grown without any very heavy labor.—
For farmers who are compelled to wagon their
produce a great distance to market, there is a
decided advantage in raising hops in prefer.
ence of grain.
Hops are worth generally about twenty.five
cents per pound, and by proper culture one
thousand pounds can be raised to the acre.—
A load of hops, then, is worth from .$230 to
$3OO.
We believe that hops flourish well in this vi
cinity—at all events we frequently , find them
growing wild. It would he well for some of
our farmers to try the experiment of their cal
tura on a small scale, whereby they could test
the profitableness of the crop without risk.
(The above is applicable to the west general
ly, as hops are grown largely in some neigh
boring counties, and also m 'lndiana and Illi
nois, and yield a good profit.]—Horticullural

Would it not be advisable for some of our
farmers to try it.

ler On Wednesday last, an awful occur
rence transpired in Penn township, about four
miles north-east of Maubeim. On the previ
ons night the wife of David Salim, who had
been somewhat deranged for several weeks,
while Mr. S. was in bed and asleep, struck him
a blow on the sole of his head with a mauling.
axe, stunning him and causing a serious wound
from which he, however, somewhat recoverd
a short time. He then awoke his chitand
sent for one of his neighbors, Mr. ftustenaur,
who immediately repaired to the place. He
found Mr. and Mrs: Sal, both in the same
room, the latter, bow-,er, immediately enter
ed an adjoining
-.se, and when lie had learned
from the h e o.and what had happened, he went
in sear-" of her, but could nowhere find her,
e i„ saving made her escape through one of
cue windows. On Wednesday morning she
was discovered dead, lying in the pig-sty, with
a piece of cord, made of part of her clothing
torn into strips and twisted, drawn tightly
'around her neck, and another piece fastened
to a rafter in the sty, sufficient evidence that
she had hung herself, and that the cord broke,
but not until she had hung long 'enough to
cause death.
An inquest was held by F. Ensminger, Esq.,
when the verdict was rendered in accordance
with the facts as above stated.—Allienheins Sen.

"The members of' the Legislature who were
in favor of a prohibitory law, have issued an
address reviewing the Governor's veto. It is
an able document, and walks into the affections

a learned official, and squints very hard at his
law reading being rather deficient, especially
on the constitution. Whoever drew it up un

A RusstAN MrcAci.c.—The Russian papers
gravely relate a miraculous appearance of the
!limed Virgin, during one of the recent con
flicts on the Asiatic frontier of Turkey and
Russia. She is said to have been soon by the
combatants on both sides, in the attitude of
blessing the Russia•s soldiers. The Conse
quence was that they were inspired with super
natural and irresistible valor; and that (stili
more wonderful) a number of infidel Moslems

CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT.
IT IS AN ERRONEOUS IDEA that dis.
ease cannot be cured except by taking large
quantities of medicines into the stomach, in a
great many eases of which much injury is done,
although die disease in point be actually cured.
The coats of the stomach by continued use of
nauseating mixtures, frequently become so
much disc tiered that the it iyrstire fund ion is
seriously ittjured—the result of which is dys•
pepsin, nervousness, cholics, alternate diarrhira
mid costiveness, flatulence, nightmare, etc., etc.
Would it not, therefore, lie very desirable to
possess a remedy, which being applied extern.
ally would excite the absorbents to inerensisl
action, and thus carry olf through this medium.
the deleterious principle whirls is the direr?!
rause of the disease? Surely every thinking
man will admit that this would not only be the
most pleasant, but by far the safest means to
effect the desired end. The almost superhu
man cares perliirined by the Arabian physi
cians in the days of old were mainly effected
by this course of treatment, and the ingredients
of which IL G. FARRELL'S CELEBRATED
ARABIAN LINIMENT is composed, are ex•
tracted irons rare plants peculiar to Arabia.—
This great Liniment (which is now to be had
of most respectable druggists and merchants
in every town in the United States) is daily ef
reefing cures which seemed beyond the power
of medicine to control—consumption, bronchi.
tis and liver complaints in their first stages,
nervous affections, indigestion, enlargement of
the spleen, scroralous tumors, goitre, etc., etc.,
are frequently cured, and always relieved by
its use. It is unsurpassed ns on anodyne—l,
lieving severe pains in a few minutes after its
application, it soothes the irritated nerves . , and
produces that delightful tranquility so grateful,
to the nervous invalid. Sprains, bruises,wounds,
burns, sore throat, chilblains, rheumatism, sou
pain,etc., etc., are speedily cured by it, and for
nearly all ailments in horses or cattle, requi
ring an external application, it is an effectual
remedy.
