SPRING ELECTIONS,
There is often a culpable carelessness in
our party in regard to these elections which
are in same respects highly important.—
The interests of a township or borough
are often more effected by their local offi
cers than by the legislators of Congress or
the State government. And even the gan
oral election is elected, in no slight degre
by the character of the men elected dis
trict officers; rind no one can dispute the
great responsibility that rests upon the peg
pie in the choice of school directors. The
injury idlicted on society by the choice of
incapable or unfaithful mon for this office,
can not be estimated by dollars and
cents; it must be measured by the neglec
ted minds, rude manners and ruined mor
als of the children who grow up under
the blighting influence of badly conducted,
•inisgoverned schools. Surely this is a ins
tine strong enough to impel every reeling 1
parent and good citizen to give vtgilart at.;
tention to the spring elections.
We may on well remind the readers of
the Journal of the delegate election to be
held in the several boroughs and towr.•
ships,'on the 9th of April. Soo trust the
people will see to it that intelligent, conser
vative men are sent to that convention
which is to elect delegates to the State con•
vention at Harrisburg. Our success next
fall may depend, nay; will depend, on the
intelligence, liberality and harmonious ac•
non of the convention its !sprit. Let the
people see to it, es they did last August,
that men of the right character and spirit
be elected on the 9th of April. Then we
will be creditably represented to the State
convention, end the trimmphant pe•oples'
party be still more closely joined in the
bonds of a patriotic union.

CODE OF HONOR,
Alopted by the Editorial Union of
Pennsylvania.
, •Whereas, it is the leading purpose of
this Union to establish such a code far the
general observonre of the members of this
Union as experience shall from tune to
time dictate, ana as shall cad , e the press
to become a more effective ngent in the
promotion of the general welfare of our
common country; we, therefore,dech.re.
Ist. That moderation and fairness and
dignity are, at all times, honorable in the
editorial profession.
2d. That courtesy, especially to co
temporaries, is to be cultivated in the pro
fession.
3d. That personalities which necessa
rily lead to the degradation of the press
are to be deprecated.
4th. That to the conduct of newspa•
per discussions, the rules of "honorable
war' should be observed.
That the deliberate and wanton viola
tion of these self evident principles, and
of such additions at may be hereafter [node
shall be deemed sufficient grounds to cen
sure by tais association, and, if preserved
in the expulsion of a member.
That the wanton violation of that code
of honor whirl, this Union shall deem es- ;
sentill to the dignity and respectability of
the press, shall subject the member is of
fending to a forfeiture of the usual mute- !
sirs of the press; and a resolution may be
adopted that the members of the Associa
tion shall strike his paper from the list of
exchanges."
Having the honor of being a member of
the Editorial Union, we shall endeavor to
observe its laws; and, therefore - , sow, once
or all, refer those creatures who have been
a the habit of foully slandering and slu
r g us, to the above Code of Houor as our
wet to their future billingsgate.

The vacant office of Commissioner of

Member of the last Congress from Indi

fear that he will decline it. He is glad to

Squatters—Fitch and Bright.
Gov- Denver, Commissioner of Indian

A strong effort is making by some to
stave off an extra session, but the Cub,

the intention of forcing tilideirs scheme

PENNSYLVANIA CANAL --The C cid rut
Penna. Railroad, we learn, is making co n •
plate preparations for the spring business,
and are to put on fifty canal boats on the
western end of the Penna. canal, and will
carry through it the heavy freight which
does not require the despatch of the rail
roae. By this means the road will be re.
lierml of slow freight, and grouter facilities
well le. afforded it fo r the quick transmts•

Democratic Reform.
The Democratic organs tell us that there
must be retrenchment and reform at the
seat of government This has been the
Democratic cry from the time of John Q.
Adams's administrntion up to the present
day. During this period, the Democracy,'
with the shout of retrenchment eternally
upon their lips, have retrenched the goy.
ernment expenditures from $13,000,0001
up to about $100,000,000; and, as their 1
cry of retrenchment is now louder then!
ever, we presume they will, white their
power lasts, go on retrenching up the ex•
penditures snore rapidly titan ever. How
long do the people think they can stand
this retrenching process ?

The questions in regard to the right of
the State to impose a tax on tonnage. - - Jr
freight carried over the Pennsylvania Rail •
road, and the policy of its contin oanc , ., tf
the State has the right, aro eginning to
attract more than ordinary attention. They
should be examined calmly and die pas.
~ionately, and decided—tho one in view
solely of the authority of the State, under
the Constitution of the United States; and
the other in view of the duties it owes not
to the Pennsylvania Railro d Company
only, but to its own citizen, who are
compelled to use that great channel of
communication to market.
The ponsylvania Rnilrond Company
was chartered by the act of April 13, 18-16.

competition. This r'aenn has now cens

there are no reasons of policy against its

the Legislature to repeal it. Let 1.13 very
briefly examine these two points.
As our judgments are apt to be inflnen.

Mr. Leavenworth—Sir : I hove been troubled
with dandruff or scurf on toy bend for more
than a yea, rut hair began to come out, scurf
mid hair together. I saw inn New nureu po
p', shoot Wood's Hair Resturative''as a cure.
1 called at your store on the Ist of April last,
and purchased a bodle to try it, and I found to
Lay eatisfaction it was the thing, it removed the
scarf and now hair began to grow; it is cow
two or aree inches in length whore it was all
tell. I have great faith in it. I wish you to seed
etc two more bottles by Mr. Post, the bearer of
this. I don't on avy of the kind is used in this
place, you may have a market for many bottles
after it is known here.

ative is proving itself beneficial to me. The
front, and also the buck part of my bead almost
lost its covering—iq fact nova. I have used
but two half pint bottles of yore Restorative,
and 114 , 11 , the top of my head is well studded
with a promising crop of young hair, and the
