The Republican State Convention, for the
nomination of candidates for GOVERNOR
end other STATE OFFICERS, will be held
at HARRISBURG, on WEDNESDAY, the
25th of MARCH, 1817. Each District will
elect Delegates in the usual manner, equal in
number to its representation in the two Hou
ses of the Legislature ; and no person will be
entitled, by substitution, to represent a district
in which he does not reside.
CHARLES GIBBONS,
Chairman oF the State Executive Committee.
StWThe corruption and stealing still con.
tinues on the Portage Railroad. The coinmu
nity taking it now as a settled fact that a Fla
tem of annually defrauding State out of hun
dreds and thousands of dollars, by successive
officers on that road in one way or other, has
been going on far years, the Canal Commis
sioners, have yielded to the calmor, and in
their Report announce the discovery of gross
frauds in the Weed contracts. These charges
of corruption and fraud have been made year af
ter year, and for aught that appears, this is the
first time the Board have taken any measures
to detect the same. The sante means of fer
reting out such matters, were at hand all along;
and why not have used them? Perhaps these
festering sores had b eon probed so often, that
at length they had become offensive to their
official olfactories; and for shame sake, have
told the public that they took measures to dis
cover the guilty parties.
Tue NEW YORK MURDER..—The Burdell
murder inquest was brought to a do. on Sat
urday. Young Snodgrass was again produced
as a witness, and swore positively that he had
never purchased a dagger, either by himself or
in company with any one else, before the mur
der. Immediately afterwards, two witnesses
were brought forward, who testified to having
sold him a dagger, at a store in New York,
a few days before the murder. They also
described the weapon, which was the same
.as the one the two Misses Cutfhinghttin
other witness testified' that he passed through
Bond street on night of the murder, saw Far
rell sitting en the stoop of Burdell's house; saw
a man come to the door and order him away
and saw him go. The Coroner's jury returned
a verdict charging the commission of the mur
der upon Eckel and Mrs. Cunningham as prin.
cipals, and accusing Snodgrass of being an ac
cessory before the fact, and the two daughters
accessories after the act. The whole of them
were sent to prison.
SALE CF TIIE Punt.tc Womis.—Last week a l
resolution directing the Committee of Ways
and Means to report a bill providing for the
sale of the Main line of the public works, was
offered in the House of Representatives at Hat.
rieburg. This was defeated by a strict party
vote of 38 to 49, and a resolution to refer the
subject to a special committee of five was de
feated by a similar vote. Whether the Demo
crate who voted against this proposition truly
represented the sentiments of their constituents
is a matter which may well be doubted, for, a
side from professional politicians, the almost
universal feeling among the people is in favor
of their immediate sale. Why the members of
the ruling party in the House, should persist in
. denying the passage of any provision for the
sale of the public works, can only be explained
by the supposition that their services as a polit
ical engine aro too valuable to be dispensed
with.
MINNESOTA. --The Governor's message
shows the population of the Territory to be
180 000. The taxable property amounts to
between thirty and thirty.five millions of dol.
'tars. In view of these facts, and of the large
increase in agricultural products, cash capital,
&c., the Governor favors a change from a ter•
ritorial to a State government, and recommends
that the speediest action consistent with othe r
interests should he taken to accomplish this
result. To this end he suggusts that a conven
tion be called to form a constitution ; that an
act be passed providing for the taking of a cen
sus in March or April, and for such other pre.
liminary steps as are necessary; and that, if
the constitution be ratified by the people at the
next October election, it shall be presented to
Congress in the December following.
siiirA delegation representing the large ho
,tels of Philadelphia has visited Harrisburg, for
the purpose of urging a modification of the
license law of last winter. That law fixes the
amount of license to Lc paid according to the
yearly rental of the house occupied by the ven
der. Under this regulation it happens, in some
cases, that hotels in Philadelphia pay from
$BOO to $l,OOO a year license, while they do
not sell as much lignor as some corner dog
genies which pay but $5O per year.
Mr The tariff bill, %%tell is the great sub.
ject thr this session of Congress, does not op.
pear to command a zealous and general sup.
port, and the general impression is that, in any
form which may be given to it, it will fail to
command a majority in the House.
le' Water will be let in the canal about the
4th of nett month.
WESTWARD HO ! .
We have recently hoard that some of the
citizens of our county aro making preparations
to leave this land of their fathers, rad to make I
their future homes in the far•famed Territory
of Kansas. Amongst those we note the name
of GIDEON ELIAS, of Tod township, who has in.
formed us that it is his intention to leave Hun.
tiugdon county early in the month of April
next, fur this land of promise, expecting there
to be employed, to some extent at least, in the
business of a Land Agent, Surveyor, kc. We
mention this, because some of our readers may
wish to employ as their agent, one so well and
favorably knowr amongst us.
TRANSIENT PRINTEI;iiATTER.-It IS officially
announced in the Washington papers, that net.
titer the act of August 30, 1852, nor that of
Jan. 2, 1857, regards newspapers or periodicals,
regularly mailed to bona fide subscribers, as
"transiert printed matter." Agents as well as
publishers may regularly mail them to subscri
bers without prepayment of postage, provided
the agent makes and files in the mailing office
a statement, signed by him showing the names ,
of the newspapers or periodicals which he thus
anvils, the office to which they aru sent, respec
tively, and the number of actual subscribers to
each, at each office to which they are directed.
THE BOND STREET MURDEIL—The Coroner's
jury in the case of the murder of Dr. Burdelh
New York, has just terminated its labors.
The guilty persons, whoever they are, yet re.
main at large, and up to this time nothing has
transpired to fix the guilt upon any one. A
strong and growing feeling is entertained a•
gainst Mrs. Cunningham the lady of the house
and Mr. Eckel a boarder, They will doubtlea*
be held to answer at Court. Suspicion is
strongly 'against them, but no developments
have yet taken place sufficient to convict them.
REFORM or TIIE MILITIA STSTEM.—The
members composing the Committee on the Mi
litia System in our Legislature, hare issued a
card informing the Militia throughout the Com•
nionwealt! - , that a State Convention will be
held in the borough of Harrisburg, on the 2Gth
of February inst., for the purpose of taking into
consideration an entire reform of the Militia
System of the State. It is earnestly requested
that delegates be appointed to said Convention,
in order that there may be a full and general
expression of public opinion on the subject.—
Each county is requested to send at least one
delegate—the delegates to attend in .citizen's
dress.
Ser. The Lancaster Bank has gone into
quidation, and its assets will be appropriated to
redeem its notes and pay its debts. A number
of persons will lose by this course, but specula.
tors will suffer most. In fact, almost all the
notes in circulation in this State have been
bought up by speculators with the hope that
the bank would again go into operation, and
these notes be redeemed for the amount upon
their faces. But their hopes have vanished,
and they will lose something as well as the pee.
ple from whom they bought.
Vrtrsiivr pap.n are fIIIOCI with
accounts from all quarters of the damage done
by freshets in rivers and creeks. The Conestoga
has done much injury in Lancaster enmity, and
all along the Susquehanna, Delaware, Schuyl
kill, Ohio, Allegheny and Monongahcla,,,the
scene is the same. The Housatonic river,
Connecticut, has swept away bridges, submerg
ed two towns, stopped operations in factories
and on railroads, etc.
CHANGE OF WEATIIER.-A. striking change of
weather took place Thursday last, reducing the
atmosphere from the frigidity of winter to the
mildness and softness of Spring. The icy fet•
tern of the mountain streams were suddenly un•
bound, and the huge banks of snow in our
streets Were put into a rapid procesi of liquid.
ation. Spring seemed to ho determined on Cu.
perseding winter.
Stir During the late cold term, the therm°.
meter ranged no low as twenty and twenty.two
degrees below zero at several places. It would
seem that valleys are subject tog rester extremes
of cold than highlands, although on the aver•
age they are doubtless favored with a milder
temperature. In "terms" like that receutly ex.
perienccd the cold air scents to settle into the
valleys and low places.
AN I?ICOSTOR.—A man passing hcrnaelf ass
"Dr." Stevenson, has been cutting an imposing'
figure in Petersburg, Va., recently, and way a
bout 'to marry a member of a highly respects•
blo and wealthy family, when it was established
that he was ',penitentiary convict from York,
Pa., who had served a full three years' term at
the weaving business in the East Pennsylvania
Institution.
A LIVING SKELETON.-The Manchester (N.
II.) Mirror says that there is now on exhibition
in that city a man thirtyfive years of age, six
feet three inches high, who weighs only 84 lbs.
When he was 18 years old he weighed 180 lbs.
Ile is a mere frame work•, akin and bones, and
a great curiosity.
TUG POINAUK BILL.—The amendment of
the Spanish coin provides that for the space
of two years it shall be lawful to pay out at
the mint, the new cents authorized to be coin.
ed for the fractional parts of the dollar at their
nominal value of twentrave cents, twelve.and.
&c. The Senate will no donbt concur
in the amendment.
VALUE OF SPANISH Cote.—Tho following
is the average value of the worn Spanish coin
at the United States mint in Philadelphia:
Quarters, 23} cents; eights or levies, 10 9.10
cents; sixteenths or fips, 51 cents.

ser The 'Univers, a leading Catholic paper
in France, says : "In all the Catholic cities in
Germany, the stktistical returns mike it appa•
rent that the - number of Protestants is increas•
ing in a fearful manner."
NOT A CANDIDATE.—We understand that
Judge Wilmot, of Bradford, has expressed to
his personal and political friends his desire not
to be a candidate for the offiet of Governor at
the ensuing electi sn.
ear Mr. Slough, a member of the Ohio Le
gislature, from Hamilton county, was expelled
from the House, on the 89th January, by a vote
of 70 to 35, for striking Mr. Caldwell, of Ash
tabula, for wordy spoken in debate.
`Miss Sallie Stafford, a young lady
from Vermont, has brought a charge of rape
against Brigham N. Barton, of Philadelphia.
She makes affidavit that she was returning
from Philadelphia to her home, Barton being
in her company. At New York, she alleges,
he took her to a hotel fur dinner and white in
a private room arranging her dress he approach.
ed and offered her a glass of wine, which ate
polled her, and on returning to consciousness,
she found that her person had been violated.—
Barton is in custody. The complainant is said
to be an accomplished lady. Barton is a wid

WHAT SENATOR SUMNER EXPECTS.—Rey.
Mr. Higgenson said he recently bad a con
versation with that gentleman in Athetueum
Hall, in Boston, and when asked if, when he
got back to Washington, he would reiterate
his words against slavery, Mr. Sumner replied:
"Reiterate, reiterate, if when I get back to
Washington, I make the speech I expect to
make, it will be like fourth proof brandy to mo•
losses and water." When asked what result
he expected from it, ho replied: .1 expect
to be shot; there is nothing else left for them
to do,"
CHINESE SUGAR CANE Sun.—The Commis.
sioner of Patents, C. Mason, Esq , in a letter
to Hon. E. Wade, of Ohio, states that the
office at Washington has forwarded to each
State Agricultural Society a sufficient amount
of that seed to plant sixteen acres. Whether
it can extend the distribution, even at a smaller
amount, to County Agricultural Societies, will
depend entirely upon obtaining morn seed, as
that on hand will hardly supply the constant
demands made upon she office by members of
Congress and their friends. It is his desire to
furnish all Agricultural Societies, if possible.
Fol. the Ilinitingdon Joernal.
JAMES K. MOREHEAD,
The next Governor of Pennsylvania.
I desire to say a few words in favor of the
gentleman whose name heads this very short
communication.
In speaking favorably of Mr. Morehead, I will
not say one word against the numerous persons
whose names have been presented by the press
to the public.
To go into a gubernatorial campaign, at the
approaching election, against the Buchanan
party, although in itself not very strong, will
require a Union of the American and Reptabli
can parties to make a victory certain and easy.
A Union will do it, and James K. Morehead is
the very man on when both wings of the oppo
sition to the Buchanan party can unite.
Mr. Morehead has always been in favor of
those great American principles that were ear
ed for so much by the old Whig party, and
which were so ably defended by the groat Ame
rican leader, the immortal Clay. Protection to
d,o groat inaueleial interests or America, and
opposition to the paupers and criminals of Eu
rope being sent to our homes.
As to position, James K. Morehead has the
best of any of the candidates spoken of, as a
western matt and in Central Pennsylvania he
will be exceedingly popular; and as to compe
tency, ho is inferior to no one named; ite a gen
tleman, he is courteous and affable, and with
all, he lookilike a Governor.

On Sunday 9th inst., after but a few days
illness, at his residence, in the borough of Pe
tersburg, Ethan Chilcott aged Rear 65 years.
Communicated.
. -
The death of the deceased could hardly be
realized by his friends and neighbors to whom
he had endeared himself by affability and ikind•
ness—honesty and uprightness. But a few
days before he was "gathered to his fetters"
he was heard to say, while at a friend's house,
'that he had not been 'stouter' for many years,
than he was then";—one week from that day
he was numbered with the pale roillirtne of the
dead. How true the &Mich.,
"In the midst of lite we are in death."
In the demise of the deceased a kind and al•
fectionate wife has had wrested from her a be.
loved and endeared husband. But her corm.
teflon is in meeting him again where sickness
and sorrow come not, and where they shall
meet never snore to part. He mot death as on•
ly the true followers of Christ can. "Come
welcome death,"—he feared it rot; as he had
lived to'the Lord he died so too,—he believed
and looked with triumph in the tomb.
"All, all. on earth is shadow, all beyond
Is substance.
How solid all where change shall be nomore.
At Cassville, on the 15th alt., after a brief
illness, Dr. John Hudson, formerly of Three
Springs, Huntingdon Co. in the 28 year of his
age. The deed was distinguished, for many
excellent qualities of mind and heart. He
had an active an enterprising disposition ;
which he manifested by his repugnance to in•l
defence and inactivity, and a constant desire
to be engaged in the duties of life. His kind.
moss of heart, affability of manners,
and mir
neat social qualities, drew around hint a large
circle of warm and devoted friends, who deep.
ly sympathize, with the afflicted partner and
family of the deed; in their sad bereavement.
Ilia inthrcounge with his fellow men and his
business transactions, bare witness, of his in•
togrity of character and uprightness. He had
chosen Cassville and the surrounding neigh•
borhood, as a field of practice; and had enter•
ed upon the duties of hie profession, about a
month previous to his last illness. As be en•
joyed in a high degree the confidence of the
people in whose midst he designed to labor,
his prospects for future success were certainly
flattering. Thus, suddenly was stricken down
in the morn of life, from a sphere of usefulness
the dutiful son, the affectionate brother, and
tie kind and devoted husband. His sudden
removal, speaks in sadly eloquent language, of
tha uncertainty of death: to the living; . "Be
ye also ready ! ' His remains were followed
on Sab. 18th, by a large and concourse of re•
lativcs and friends, to their last resting place,
the family grave pad—at the hems of his
childhood.
"Friend after friend departs,
Who hash not lost a friend;
There is no union here of hearts,
That finds not here an end." S.
Tho friends of Dr. J. Hudson would tender
their most sincere and heart-felt thanks to the
dood people of Danville for the kindness, the
eep concern, and the unwearied attention to
word him during his last illness.

beets adapted, to mere children, or to those
who made it a thorough study. Hence, very
few of the millions of readers in this country
have, within their reach, anything satisfactory
upon this subject. This indicates a great and
an obvious want, as no subject is more intense

that of the living beings that people the globe.

miens, author of several works of History, 'Peter
Parley's Tales,' &c.
It is believed that the above work will bo ve
ry acceptable to the American public. It is the
result of years of totl and labor, assisted in his
researches by several scholar. of known ability,
and has been got up at a great expense by the
proprietors. No pains have been spored in the
execution of the Illustrations and Mape, which
are prepared expressly tar this work. Indeed,
all the otlitr historical writing of Mr. Goodrich,
sink into insignificance, when compared to this,
the result of his riper and maturer years. It is
admitted that one hundred dollars could not
purchase the same matter in any other shape ,
and the publishers confidently expect, in consi
deration of the groat literary value of the work,
the large sum expended in preparing it for the
pre., and the exceedingly moderate price at
which it is offered, that it will be favorably re
ceived by every lover of good books. Many of
our first scholars, divines and gentlemen, who
have exittnined the work, bare given it their un
qualified approbation oust commendation, which
it richly deserves. _

Prof. DeGrath—l have been afflicted 13
years with Neuralgia and other very painful
complaints, and 1. have been unable to sleep
soundly or walk any distance for many rears
past. Last week I got a bottle of your "tlec
tric Oil." The first night I slept soundly and
well, and today lam like a new loan. My
wife could not believe her eyes. Your Elec.
tric Oil has done in one•week what the physi•
clan of Philadelphia failed to do in 13 years.
Gratilfully, yours, Rev. JAMES TEMPLE.

Call and see other certificates and names of
thousands I have cured for three years past.—
The public for safety, must not believe impos-

the same old place 39, South Eighth street, Ana
not, removed, as a base scamp advertised, who
is afraid to publish his real name.
I refer to 3,000 Philadelphians who have

sold has my name blown in every bottle. All
others are cheats. All orders must be address.
