WILLIAM BREWSTER,
SAM. G. WHITTAKER. 5
We return our thanks to members of
ur Legislature, and of Congress, for contiun•
d favors.
TREASURER'S REl;;;; - -Ifon. E. Slifer has
ur thanks for Lis Financial Report as State
*ieasurcr. The principal tables and facts con
fined in the Report we have heretofore pub-
We have received from the publisher the
N. Y. Tribune almanac, for 1856. It is an
excellent work, and should be in the possession
ut everyone. Price 121 Ms.
Sir Graham's Magazine for February is an I
exceedingly beautiful issue. It contains the
:inert original steel engravings, besides some
wood cuts, and superb colored Paris Fashion
Plate. The literary contents are by our best
writers, and will compare, in point of pleasing
'Variety, and positive merit, with those of any
rriodical of a similar character now published.
Philadelphia: Abraham H. See, 10G Chesnut
-treat. $3 a year.
We have received from the Publisher,
J. S. Redfield, N. Y., Dr. W. Rodenhamer's
practical observations on some of the diseases
of the rectum, anus, and contigu am textures.
FLU wide spread renown of Dr. Bedcuham•
ce en the treatment of the above disease is so
great, that he needs no encomium s from us.—
The book is more especially addressed to the
non medical reader, but it will be found a val
uable addition to the library of the rrofeision
also.
That's So.
' , The Abolitionists (of Kanzas) have
come the Yankee over us this time—the
Governor has betrayed himself, the South
and the whole pro•slnvery party. We had
them just whero we wanted them, and he
spoiled all. Next time we must plan for
ourselves."
Thus mourns the immortal Stringfellow
over the route of his associates. But it
was neither the "Abolitionists," nor the
Governor, but "Sharpe's Rifles" which
came the Yankee over the Ruffians. Pre
pared Saltpetre is even more "villainous"
than Yankee "Abolitionists ;" and but for
the apprehended results likely to flow from
it, there would have been a massacre in
Lawrence.
They Need 'Em.
Our Congress is at length coming to its
senses, and the members thereof are man
ifesting some contrition for their sins of o
mission and commission, and awakening
not only to a proper appreciation of their
duty, but their dependence upon a higher
power than their constituents. We judge
so, at all events, from the fact that they
have adopted a resolution hereafter to have
morning prayers. This is a good begin
ning after two months' folly and perversi
ty. We have the assurance that
"While the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return."
May we then not hope that some good
may vet come out of Nazareth, now that
they are to have morning prayers?
SEWARD FOR PRESIDENT.
The Blair County Wino has placed the
name of Hon. Wm. H. SEWARD, at its mast
head, as the National Republican Whig
Candidate for President. The editor says:
"We have made choice of one of the great
est living statesmen of America, combining
talents, patriotism, nationality, and every
qualification necessary to make one of the
noblest and best of President's that • ever
occupied that exalted position. He has been
a Whig from his boyhood, has served in
some of the most elevated positions that his
countrymen could place him, such ns Gov
,:rnor of the groat State of New York,
Senator in Congress, (which he now holds)
Ate., &c. He at present sympathises with
the great Republican movement going on
throughout the country, in order to arrest
the aggressions of the slave power, which
threatens the peace, harmony and union
of the States."
What is to be Done I
Shall we have a united opposition to Loco
Focoisna in Pennsylvania at the next General
Election 7 Or are we to have that opposition
divided and split up into two, three or four dis.
tinct organizations? If so, there might well
be no contest, because Loco Focoism must, of
course, triumph under such eitenmstances,
though against a united opposition it would
find itself in a large minority.
What is to be done to avoid throwing away
the State into the power of the Loco Foes par
ty? Plain, unsophisticated, common sense
would, if permitted, soon answer the inquiry,
and RUN all doubts. Let there bo a union for
the sake of the Union. Let each faction
fragment agree to drop, for the time being, so
much of its peculiar creed as is objectionable
to another, and unite as best they can in one
common opposition to the Loco Focus. Let
this bo done, and success will be certain.
May wo not hope for some joint effort of this
kind from the opposition members at Harris.
burg? Let them set their wits to work, and at
least try to bring about a State organization in
which all opposed to the Loco Foe() Party can
consistently unite. It is worth ut least a trial,
and we look, with confidence, fur the initialun
of such a woreiunt by them.
WEALTH OP PENNSYLVANIA:
Assessors in this State have been so long
in the habit of rating property far below
its real value, dint it would now be consid
ered an extraordinary thing to rate it truly.
When this subject is talked about here,
says the North anterican, and the neces
sity for a practical reform in the :node of
valuation urged, people reply that the
same under-valuation is practised every
where. Nothing can . be more delusive
than this comforting assurance, and Penn
sylvania is constantly suffering by it. We
have now before us a comparative table of
the assessed value of property in N. York
and Pennsylvania, which has been exten
sively oopied by our exchanges. It is as
follows :
Pennsylvania. New York.
1845, $120,302,209 605,646,095
1849, 463,240,987 651,619,595
1855, 581,731,304 1,402,849,554
Will any body here tell us that this is a
true picture of the comparative wealth of
our own State 1
The wealth of Pennsylvania, if truly
estimated, would come nearer a billion of
dollars than the 8581,731,304 above stated.
Some action should be taken by the Legis
lature on this subject, with a view of pro-
curing a better representation of the real
material interests of the Commonwealth.
The revenue Board which had the matter
in hand, augmented the valuation fur seve
ral years,but then paused, because to press
the subject further would have been, in ef
fect, to abandon the old system of under
valuation, which they were not prepared
to do.
Dominica Victorious.
It is known that the Ifaytien Empire oc•
cupies the Western half of the island of
St. Domingo ; and the Domincian republio
the t astern half. 'lle Haytiens are ne-
groes ruled by his ssb'e majesty, Faustin
I ; the Dominicans are of French and
Spanish origin. The Ilaytiens are much
the most numerous, and have for a long
time threatened war on Dominica. It
seems that Faustin has been assembling
and organizing an army, and providing
money and stores to invade Dominica.—
Late accounts say that a battle has been
fought in which the Haytiens, 30,000
strong, were utterly routed, with the loss
of several hundred men. Many of their
best officers were slain, and the Emperor's
military chest, and all his provisions and
munitions of war taken by the Dominicans.
Faustin escaped from the field and is hid,
no one knows where. Santander, com
mander of the Dominican forces, has oiler.
ed a reward of 10,000 doubloons for his
head. It is generally believed that he will
either be taken by the Spaniards ; or shot
by his own people. The defeat is repro-
sented as most complete.
The English emissaries on the Island
have no doubt stimulated the Daytiens to
this invasion, and we are glad it has resul
ted so gloriously for the island republic.—
The friendship of the Dominicans for the
United States, and their disposition to en
ter Into amicable and most advantageous
relations with this century, had excited the
jealousy of the English authorities, and
the result of their machinations is now
known. We hope the victory will be fol
lowed up till the Imperial Haytiens are
taught a lesson that they will not soon for
get. They will find not a few Yankees
and unerring rifles in the Dominican army.
The License Laws.
One of the matters of special interest
before our legislature at this session is the
license laws. It seems to be the general
impression that the present law—the Jug
law as it is called—will not answer the
purpose in this State; and the vote of 1854
indicated that the majority of the people of
this State were not in favor of total prohibi
tion. It seems pretty certain, too, that the
present law will be repealed by the legis
lature, and, as we understand the Gayer.
nor's message on the subject, he will sign
the repealing act. A bill to repeal the law
has been passed by the House of Re
presentatives, But while a large majority
are no doubt in favor of the repeal, they
are divided in opinion as to whether they
shall repeal the present law without pro
viding a substitute in the form of a remod
elled and stringent license law. Some
contend for the immediate repeal as the
first step, and then take time to frame or
consider a proper license law afterwards.
Others insist that both steps should be ta
ken simultaneously. While this is a sub
ject of discussion in the House, Judge
Wilkins, from the Committee of tho Sen
ate, has reported a bill to do both acts at
once. This bill, we think it quite proba
ble with perhaps some modifications, will
become a law.
We shall publish the law next week, and
it will be found by examining it that it is
a stringent one; requiring a high price
for licensee; providing severe penalties for
selling adulterated liquors ; and forbid
ding under severe penalties the keeping of
tippling houses.
Tavern keepers are divided into two
classes—one to sell all kinds of liquors—
' the other to sell cider, beer, ale, porter and
salt liquors. The price for licenses is
high, and the party licensed must give
in one thousald dollars, with sureties,. COll.
ditioned for the strict observance of all the
piovisions of the law. The Sunday law,
and the laws against selling to minors, or
to habitually intemperate persons are not
repealed or modified. One peculiarity of
the bill is that those licensed are only au
thorized to sell to travellers and guests,
and not to casual callers who call for the
mere purpose of drinking.
The last section of the act repeals the
law of last year, end forbids the granting
of any licenses except under the provisions
of the act or bill reported.
Some portions of this bill will meet with
general approbation, while others are liable
to objections. It is at any rate an improve-
ment on the old license law, and we pre
sume will be more satisfactory and useful
than the law of lest session. Many of the
former friends of prohibition express the
opinion that it is as stringent a law as can
be obtained and made permanent in this
State.
Let all parties know at as early a say as
possible what they have to depend on in
future ; and if possible give us such a law
as can be permanent. It need not take
much time to perfect and pass such a bill.
The legislature at this session has given
some examples of promptness in the dis
patch of business that give promise that
this vexed question of a license or liquor
law will not be permitted to drag on for
months undecided. The wants, interests
and opinions of the great mass of the peo
ple are now pretty well understood on this
subject; and there is no occasion for delay
further than is necessary to frame such a
law as may be permanent.
ARE WE ON BREAKERS I
In the nototiously unstable condition of
our Foreign Affairs we look with anxiety
to every source which can furnish any re-
liable clue to ;he direction our Government
is giving them, and to its steps and inten
tuns, if any decided ones have been taken
or resolved upon. To ordinary rumors
and speculations, circulated by unknown
correspondents, we do not usually give
heed ; but we cannot disregard statements
so momentous, so positive, and from sour
ces so respectable as those subjoined, in
regard to impending difficulties with Eng
land, corroborated as the statements are by
other papers and by public rumors. What
are they ?
The Commercial Xdverlieer of New
York, n journal of great discretion and ve•
ry careful in its statements, contains the
following
"Mr. Crampton and the Enlistment Difficul.
ty.—We regret to be assured, from a source
that precludes all doubt of the correctness of
the information, that the President has Instr..
ted Mr. Buchanan to demand from the British
Government the recall of Mr. Crampton, on the
ground of his participation in the' enlistment
of men for the war in the Crimes. In common
with a large proportion of onr intelligent com
mercial fellow.citizens, we have hoped that
the reports to this effect hitherto made public
were rather conjecture than well•ascertained
fact, receiving the more general credence be
cause of their probability. We are constrained
to abandon that hope, and to give full credit to
the statement which some of our cotemporaries
some days ago very confidently set fonh."
This important intimation is corroborated
by the following from the veteran and in
telligent 4 ./ort,"of Washington, in his let
ter of the day before yesterday to the
Sun :
"The Cabinet have had under consideratic
the expediency of suspending diplomatic inter
course with England, as a mode of resenting
the refusal of the British Government to afford
reparation to the United States for an alleged
violation of our laws and neutral rights by re
cruiting troops in this country. As no Con.
gress is in existence, the President cannot take
the course which I suggested yesterday—to
send a special message to Congress and de.
voice upon them the responsibility of action for
the protection of the national character. The
proposition before the Cabinet is to withdraw
our Minister from England, and not scud aim.
ther until the British Government shall comply
. ,
with our demand for redress and satisfaction.
There is little doubt that this course was deter
mined upon last evening.
"Tho•situation of the House, and its utter
abandonment of it constitutional functions, will
render necessary and afford an apology for the
assumption and exercise by the Executive of
such powers as the Constitution may confer up
on him, under the most liberal construction of
that instrument. Therefore, if lam not misfit
ken, the President is about to take some steps,
independently of the suspension of diplomatic
intercourse with England, which may precipi
tate an issue between this country and Great
Britain.
"It is very important to the interests of the
country that the Senate should be taken into
the counsels of the Executive Government,and
that the measures taken for the maintenance
of the honor of the country should at least have
the sanction of that body.
"But no such measures as these, if taken
while Congress is in its present paralyzed con
dition, will have the effect to induce the British
Government to do us justice, or to change their
policy in relation to the questions in dispute.
The Executive power of such a Government as
this can command no respect abroad unless
supported by the Representatives of the Peo
ple. But Congress is now regarded abroad as
it is regarded here, as a body more dangerous
to peace at home than formidable to toes
abroad."
Considerate and cautious are both of the
sources of these statements, we should re
gard them with less seriousness did they
not derive consistency and strength from
similar statements, revived within two
days past, and circulated and believed in
intelligent private circles in the city. It
was information such as this, communica
ted to us some weeks ago, which induced
us to intimate that the Executive might be
.drifting into difficulties" which the orga
nization of Congress might avert. And
now we would put it in all seriousness, to
the members of the (louse, if in view of
so critical a state of the affairs of the court.
try, they can, without being derelict tsi.ev.
ery dictate of patriotism and duty, consent
to consume any more of the session in a tri
angular contest about the Speakership,
which never can be terminated without a
compromise as to the mode or the men; or
can they regard the peace of the country
secondary to pride of opinion and the tram
mels of party.
News of the Week.
`The arrival of the Collins atentnee Baltic puts
us in possession of three days' later news from

In the U. S. Senate, Mr. Clayton introduced
a communication from the President, in Exocu•
tine session, with a copy of Lord John Rasall's
letter in 1853, to Mr. Crampton, declaring that
the British Government would strictly adhere
to the Bulwer-Clayton treaty. Messrs. Clayton
Cass, Seward and Mason debated the question
for some time, when its further consideration
was postponed until Monday. A message was
then received from the President relating to
Kansas. He alludes to the threatening state
of affairs in the Territory, which he designates
as revolutionary in character and likely to reaoh
a height when it will be the duty of the Federal
government to interfere. He recommends the
inhabitants of Kaunas, if desirous of forming a
State, to appoint delegates to prepare a consti
tution. The message was referred to the corn.

We cut the following paragraph from the
Reading Journal of last week, and commend
its example to certain persons that "we wot of:"
"A Leap Year Party was given to the young
gentlemen of Reading, by their lady admirers,
at the Odd Fellows' Hall, on Tuesday evening
last. The affair was managed exclusively by
the ladies, who issued the cards of invitation,
escorted their male friends to the Hall, selected
their partners, served up the refreshments, en..
tertained the company, gallanted their beaux
home, and to strewn all "footed the bill"in true
leap year style. We shall hope to record many
fruits of this leap year gallantry under our ma
trimonial announcements before the year id
over."
Hon. Jefferson Davis, Secretary of war, has
been elected to the U.S. Senate, from Minis.

A terrific explosion occurred at Pittsburg on
Saturday morning last, about 5 o'clock. The

Mr. Joseph Brady, Principal of one of the
Public Schools iu Lexington, Ky., was tarred
and otherwise maltreated by a mob last week.
The cause of the proceedings was his writing a
letter to an Oxford, Ohio, paper, giving an ac
count of a sale of slaves on Christmas day, and
in which he indulged iu some strictures on the
institution of slavery, There was nothing in
the letter, however, to justify his receiving the
treatment he did.

Mr. Russell, the Crimean correspondent of
the London Times, who has given such vivid .
pictures of the condition of the army in that
quarter, has been mobbed and driven out of the
Crimea, by the soldiers, for speaking of the do
butchery and drunkenness which prevail in the
English camp. The officers, it is said, secretly
exulted at the treatment ho received, and did
not attempt to prevent it, being dissatisfied
with him for his exposures of their imbecility
and incapacity.

HALE ON PIERCE.
The first eh from Congress on the I'resi•
dent's Message came from Senator HALF: of
New Hampshire. We give that portion of it
referring to the President's discussion of the
slavery question:
The President of the United States, in the
paper which he sent here a few days ago, takes
the ground that the gentlemen who do nut a•
gree with him in his peculiar notions, are the
etemiesof the Constitution. He so puts it, for
he says:
"If the friends of the Constitution nre to
have another struggle, its enemies could not
present a more acceptable issue, than that of a
State, whose Constitution clearly embraces 'a
republican form of government,' being exclu•
ded from the Union because its domestic in
stitutions may not in all respects comport with
the ideas of what is wise and expedient enter•
tained in some other State."
Thus the President undertakes to designate
as enemies of the Constitution those who differ
from him on this subject. Idu not know how
others feel, but I say it is an insult to the ma
jority of the nation. Tue President knows, if he
reads anything beyond the most servile sheets
that his creatures send to him, that the public
rentimeut of this country condemns most deei•
dedly his action in that Territory. Nu man
knows it better than he, or at least no man
ought to know it better; nod when he goes on
to characterize as enemies of the Constitution
those who differ from him, he knows he so
characterizes certainly one -half of the popular
Branch of Congress, and quite a number of the
members of the Senate—no matter fur them,
however; as they do not belong to "healthy or
ganizations," let them take care of themselves.
I will not speak fur them but I speak for my.
self, and I say the President can do use uo sort
of harm by any such denunciations as this. I
.am perfectly willing to take it, but, air, stand.
ing here as a representative of our waive
State—his and mine together—l will nut havp
him hurl tomb an imputation as that unchallen•
ped and unrebuked. lie has no right to des•
tgnate any men who aro here under the same
oath to support the Constitution, which he has
taken, as enemies of the Constitution; and
when he does it, he rouses down tutu the high
place which God, in his wrath for the punish.
ment of our national sins, has permitted him
to occupy. I say he comes down from that
high place into the arena of a vulgar
demagogue, and strips himself of everything
which should clothe with digninity the °Elie°
of President of the United States. I deny the
issue ; I hurl it back in his face , I tell him,
when he undertakes to designate those men as
enemies of the Constitution, ho abuses and de•
fames men whose shoe-latches he i . : not wor
thy to untie.-
Sir, those are plain words , but the time de•
mand
s Ahern. When the President. of the Uni
ted States amide such it message us this to ine,
or ton of which he is ainember, I shall
be restrained by no consideration from speak
inewhat I believe to bo the truth. The Presi
dent says that if the enmities of the Constitu•
tion—we all know whom he includes in this
phcase—are to have another contest with its
friends, cannot be a better one. Grant it, sir;
let us have it. I tell him that this is the very
place where the fight is to be made. This
part of his message, stripped of its verbage,
means this: If, by illegal violence of the
men who have gone over into Kansas, and un
dertaken to establish slavery there, they shall
come here and ask for admission into the Ult.
ion with a Constitution, and Kansas will be re
jected, the President tells us that it is the most
favorable aspect in which that question can be
presented. That will be the same issue; soul
if it be decided against slavery, we are threat.
ed with a civil war.
Sir,l am not a man of war but when I have
hear it threatened so ofteu,l have sometimes
wished that God in his pro;idetiee would let it
come. If t had no other 0 . .1, I think it would
learn those men who are constantly talking a
bout the dissolution of the Union, a lessen
which they, nor their children's children, would
ever forget. lam not certain that I should
not want the wnr to come on while we have a
bout just such a President as we have now, and
I tell you why. if the attempt at disunion
were made with such a man as General Jack
sou or General Taylor, in the Presidential chair
and it were repressed promptly, ns it would be,
people would say, 'Oh, it was his great milita
ry power, his reputation, his popularity, which
did it." God knows they could not say it of
this President, (Laughter in the gallertes.)—
If the President succeeded and the Union were
sustained, as it would be, it would be by its
own inherent energy, and front no fictitious
power which it would acquire from the over
shadowing popularity of the President.
Sir, when the President undertakes to stigma
tize, as ho has done, those who differ from him
he steps beyond what lie has a right to do; he
steps deer the mark; lie violates the laws which
I think, to govern the intercourse between the
different members of this government. When '
he denounces as enemies to the Constitution
those who differ from him, I think it proper to
meet hitn in this way, and to take issue with
him. Does the President think that upon this
issue he can go before the country ? If he is
safe, it is his obscurity, and nuthtng else that
shields him--it is the utter hopeless position—
, Sir, I heard a very instructive comment made
upon his Message by a southern gentleman
within a very brief time. "Olt," said he, "it
is one of the best Messages that ever was writ
ten, and Pierce is the best President we have
ever had since Washington." "Well,"said the
person to whom he was speaking, "you will
nominate him, will you not?" "No" said he,
"that is another thing, his Message is a little
too strong to get northern votes with ; we shall
not use him any more." That is exactly the
position in which the matter stands.
1 do not wish ' Sir, to go any further into
this matter. If the views which I have enter
tained are received by the Senate and country,
an I suppose they will be, nod no controversy
be made, I shall have nothing more to say a
bout it; but if on the other hand, try views
shall be controverted I may take the occasion
at some future day to go somewhat at length
into the various topics which the President hus
suggested. But, Sir, when he sent such a
Message as this, and when the only comments
that were made upon it were aneaendatury
—not commendatory of this part, I know, but
commendatory of the nonsense with which it
is filled, about Central America, and no man
bad a word of rebuke (not even my excellent
friend from New York, Mr. Seward) to utter
at the atrocious sentiments to which I have al
luded--I felt compelled by a sense of duty with
great reluctance to lay before the Scuttle the
I ViONVO I have entertained. •
