The holders ofgrain in the interior con
tinue to send it to this city, as they have
been accustomed to do heretofore, not be
ing aware that it bears a higher price at al
most any given place this aide the Alleeeny
-than it does here. It is well for them to
learn that we are not only amply supplied
with grain from Europe, but that we are ac
tually sending it into the interior at a profit.
A note from one of the largest wheat and
hour factors in this city to us, states that
"molt of the Pennsylvania wheat sold lately,
is sold to go up , the Schuylkill in boats, or
is hauled some distance• into the interior
by wagons. This caused no inconsidera
ble loss and waste, which tall upon the
owners." -The sable remark, the writers
think, will apply to New York and Balti
more—wheat having been shipped from
New York to Troy and Albany, which on
its way met cargoes coming from those
places to NeW York.
. We are informed by th 6 house alluded
to that the late importations of wheat from
Europe have been of the new crop,which is
of the best quality—entirely different from
the first cargoes received.

IMPORTANT PUBLIC DOCUMENT.
Report of the aliturrity of the
Committee appointed by the House of Re.
pr'•esentatives to investigate the affairs of
the Canal Commissioners.
The undersigned, members of theicom
mittee appointed to examine the bublic
works, and the official conduct of the Ca
nal Commissioners, with a view to their
continuance or .removal from office, explic
itly, state, what may appear very extraor
dinary to honest men, that they were neith
er consulted as to the principles or de
ductions of the voluminous report of the
majority, nor never were they apprised of
its contents, until the evening previous to
its presentation to the House. At this
late period too, they were denied the prix
ilege of retaining and examining the doc•
ument until the next day, in order to do.
tertnine upon their course of action, lest,
as may be fairly presumed, its contents
would not bear the test of a strict scrutiny.
They would take pleasure in ascribing
conduct so novel to any other more jus.
tifiable motive, were it in their power to
do so.
The briof interval, therefore, of a day
(crowded with other engagements) allow
ed to the undersigned by the indulgence
of the Houso for the performance of so
important a duty, will deprive them of the
opportunity of presenting as clearly and
satisfactorily, as they would otherwise do,
the principles by which they have been
guided, the conclusions to which they
have arrived, end the grounds of their dia•
sent from the majority.
Since the introduction of our complicated
system oflnternal Improvemem, the House
of Representatives has repeatedly appoin
ted committees for a similar purpose to that
for which we were constituted. No in
stance, however, we believe has ever oc
inured before the present one, that the
committee was
_composed ofa majority of
the political adversaries of the administra
tion. Indeed, such a designation might
well have awakened in the public mind
suspicions of undue, bins and prejudice--
it was reserved, therefore, for the present
House of Representatives to depart from
a precedent so salutary in its consequen•
ces, so consistent with parliamentary wage
with common sense, and the humane pol
icy of our laws. In ordinary cases the
rights of property and personal security,
nr.d above all, that dearest and most sacred
of reputation, are strictly and tenderly
regarded. No man is permitted to enter
the jury box whose mind is not equally
balanced.
Instead of appointing a majority of the
friends of the administration upon the com
mittee, it was, as at first constituted, COM
posed entirely of members decidedly if not
bitterly hostile to it. A sense of propriety,
however, induced the House afterwards to
add two Members of a different political
party, still leaving them in a small minor
ity. ' This unprecedented organization of
the committee evinced at its- origin , that
something was expected from it, different
from the ordinary investigations of preced
ing sessions. Those investigations, if not
strictly impartiarwere known charitably to
lean to the side of the accused. 'This
was to be different from those, and to
which aide it was to lean, is not a matter of
conjecture.
So marked and unusual a formation of
the committee could not be a matter of
accident. The strong and decided indica
tions of intelligence which characterize
every act of-the Honorable Speaker, forbid
such .:a supposition)
Being thus prepared and armed with
power, toefFectuate its design, the commit
tee organized and proceeded to business.
The Canal Commissioners being engaged
in' the arduous duties of their office, asked
and were allowed to appear by counsel.—
The examination proceeded for sometime
without disclosing any thing prejudicial to
the official conduct of any person connected
with the public works. Indeed, if we take
into consideration the character of the
witnesses that had been hunted up by
spies and informere, the testimony was
highly, creditable to their management.—
Any witness who gave diffOrent testimony
were discarded workmen or agents who
had been discharged for incompetence or
dishonesty; or perhaps, here and there by
some old life officer of the late administra
tion, who in consideration of his long servi•
ces, had been unwillingly relieved from the
cares and burthens of the state.
The committee not satisfied with the
evidence thus furnished them by their pat
riotic friends along the public works whose
vigilance is sharpened by hunger, and thirst
of office, determined even at this "inclement
season of the year," to go forth in person to
the uttermost parts of the state, in search of
corruption. They divided themselves into
three sub committees, each of which was to
travel into a distant quarter of the Common.
wealth. This arrangement effectually pre
vented the Canal Commissioners from at.
tending the examination in person, or by
counsel, unless they should employ as many
different counselfors as there were sub coin•
mitteee, and pay them for travelling to dis.
tant quarters. This would have involved
an expense burthensome and oppressive to
the Commissioners, which their own hum
ble means and the scanty pay which they
receive, would not enable them to sustain.
It must be remembered.that their expenses
must have been borne by themselves, while
all the travelling expenses of these Sub
committees come out of the treasury of
the state, in addition to their daily pay as
Members. Against this , unexampled and
cruel exercise of the poWer of the coin
mittee, the Commissioners protested, and
appealed to the House to correct it. The
House, however, not only sanctioned the
proceedings, but passed a resolution in the
following words: Resolved, "That the
sub-committees have, power to administer
oaths." This was not a joint resolution,
but passed by the House of Represedta
lives alone. If any thing had been wan
ting to cap the climax of anomalies with
regard to the committee, this resolution
furnished it• No power to administer oaths
is possessed by at' tribunal or office or
, branch of the government, unless con
ferred on them by law. The : Speaker of
the Senate or House possessed* such
power, instil a law was passed grttnting it.
The setae act, dated 16th March, also
gave the same power to the "Chair Man of
every committee in examinations before
the committee." But no members of the
committee except the Chairman could or
can administer an oath. Niir can a com
mittee or either branch of the Legislature
separately grant such power. Oaths are
deemed sacred and solemn things. and it re
quires a Sovereign power, a law of the land
to authorize them. Bat no enactment be
comes a law unless passed by the Senate
and House of Representatives in General
Assembly met, and receives the 'constitu
tional sanction of the Executive. The House
in passing the resolution referred to assumed
the whole power of all the Legislative bran.
cites of this Government. The resolution,
therefore was clearly a nullity, and furnish
es no auilvirity for administering oaths;
consequently all the oaths administered by
the sub-committees. were illegal, extra
judicial, aid in a legal point of view, how
ever they may be in morality. are no hotter
than profine swearing. Perjury however
rank, committed under such void oaths, is
not indictable nor in any way punishable by
law. This perhaps is fortunate for some
of those witnesses who have joined in this
crusade against honest men? Thus in an
unprecedented manner,ha ye the Canal Com
missioners been deprived of the power of
cress examining the witnesses. or Of punish
ing them when guilty of wilful and slander
ells falsehoods.
No part of proceedings of the majority
have appeared more strange or unfair than
the manner and kind of proof first resorted
to. Heretofore, when the condition of the
public works un I the conduct of the State
agents connected with them, wore under
investigation by legislative committees, it
was ho practice to hold open sessions, at
one place convenient to the public officers
and recorg—and Irmn day to day to infirm
those whose conduct was implicated of the
names of the persons subpamed for Examina
tion.
No similar degree of fairness is to be
' found in the operations of the majority.—
After adjourning from Ha rrisburgh to places
remote and altogether inconvenient to the
hourd;—after sub-dividing themselves into
three committees, all clothed with the full
power of the whole;--after meeting in secret
and refusing EICCC:4B to the persons express
ly accused, or their agent, it perhaps will
not appear strange that not only were
the names ofthe witnesses for the proseau•
lion no furnished, but that those..witnesitos
were generally of the most suspicious des.
e ri pt ion.
It is a renri►kale fact also, that the first
jaunt taken by the committee, by the will
of the majority, and expressly for the pur
pose of personally inspecting that portion
of the public works between this place and
Philadelphia, was performed with the haste
of ordinary travellers, so as to entirely pre
clude the accomplishment of nay other ob.
ject than a speedy arrival at the city, in the
midst of what was known to be an eiaspera.
ted and disappointed set of discharied pub.
lic servants; and that on return, the-princi
pal part of the journey having been-made on
the Sabbath, and that therefore, neither go
ing or returning, was there any careful ex.
amination given to .the Inclined Plane at
Columbia--the establishment at Parkes.
burgh, which even ordinary intelligent cu.
riosity might desire to inspect—nor to the
much talked of Schuylkill Plane. No! the
prosperous condition of things at those points
was not such game as the majority.of the
committee hunted for. It was not till they
arrived - at the Marshall House that .a halt
was made to commence operations. And
who were the witnesses, to obtain whose
testimony this holyday jaunt and Sabbath
return were performed! Jos. L. Parry,
manager of Schuylkill Plane; Thos. Barber,
engineer of Stationary Engine at Columbia,
Samuel Warren, machinist at Schuylkill
Depot; George Peterman, master machin.
ist at do.; Gee. W. Carerr, fireman; John
O'Donnell, fireman; John S. Clark, super
intendent of motive powen—officers who
had all been discharged by the present
Board. Among the rest is conspicuous,
Wm. Norris, engine builder, and applicant
to the legislature for the sole - control of the
motive power of the' Rail.road, for :the al.
leged ground of mismanagement by the
present officers.
It would be tedious to give a list of the
remaining witnesses for the prosecution,
but on examination it will be found that
they are nearly all political opponents of
the offirers implicated by the investigation.
The undersigned will not detain the House
with a statement of what they testify.—
They hazard no opinion as to the truth and
importance of their statements. When
testimony wholly unprejudiced and unin
fluenced by feelings of disappointment or
loss of office may be had, a fair investiga
tion will not resort to that of an opposite
description, nor an impartial legislature be
influenced by it.
Others have testified who do not come
under the head of discarded officers, whose
bitterness might easily, were it worth the
labor, be explained. One instance will
suffice:
Joseph S. Snowdon, a transporter on the
Columbia and Philadelphia Rail road,
swears,—"there are three depots on the
Delaware. I have two. lam perhaps the
heaviest transporter on the road." The
undersigned are credibly informed that
this deponent owns trorn twelve to fourteen
cars. From this sample the character of
the whole of such testimony may be'deter
mined.
But, fortunately for truth and justice, the
majority could not even according to their
views of propriety, refuse to examine some
witnesses whose names were furnished by
the parties implicated. The person who
will take the trouble to wade through the
mass of evidence collected by the ceminit
tee,' will be struck with two remarkable
facts. The first is, that nearly all the wit
nesses for the prosecution are either discar , .
dad officers, or persons having a direct in
terest in producing a change, or warm po
litical partizan; and that on the other hand,
the witnesses subratned at the instance of
the officers . implicated are gentlemen whol
ly disinteierited, of high character . and.of
both political parties indifferently. The
other fact is only a natural consequence
from such a state of things. It is, that
while the former class of witnesses swear
unhesitatingly against all present arrange
ment, and officers, the latter, w'th manly
independence, not only state instances of
wrong conduct where they occurred, but
, also state that the proper remedy has been
applied; and give their opinion that things
are now generally conducted better than
formerly.
While speaking of these general results,
the undersigned would also remark that
they were astonished at the avidity o with
which the least hint of a trivial error was
pursued and magnified by the majority
while testimony of an opposite complexion
was slurred over with scarcely any regard
to appearances. As an instance of the
manner in which testimony was tortured,
it may he stated that many of the words
put into the mouth of Isaac Mason, fireman
of the stationary engine at Columbia Plane
by the majority, are denied by him, arid
that he is ready to give testimony of a
directly contrary description, and that cer•
tain questions propounded to him for the
purpose of proving that his superior officers,
attempted, under threat of dismissal, to in
fluence his vino, which he positively denied,'
are not, neither are his answers, to be found
among the notes of testimony recorded by
the secretary.
Among witnesses thus drummed tot/ether
—thus examined—and amidst testimony
thus recorded, the presence of names and
proof like the following, must be decisive,
upon every impartial mind.
Edward F. Gay, Esq. a civil engineer, of
high reputation, who had charge of the Phil.
adelphia and Columbia Railway a conside
rable time under the Into Board, and who
is a political opponent of the present Admin.
istration, states that -'Mr. Mehnflv," (the
present superintendent onl he road) "is an
excellent officer. I think the motive pow
er since he has been on the road alone,
quite as good as in 18,55, or any former
time. The locomotives manufactured by
Mr. Baldwin, I have always held in high es
timation. They were considered less liab:e
to injury, and more easily repaired. I
presume there are more hands on the road
than in 1835, but there are more engines.
Two of the British engines" (brought on the
road in 1 35,) "were worse than useless.--
Mr. Brandt was taken into employ when
locomotives first commenced runni and
is still on the road. I think he is a capible
officer;—he is an excellent mechanic; lie is
head machinist at Parkesbargh; ho is not so
fast as some men, but there are few as good
machinists as him in this country. Passen
ger cars go slower now than in 1835; this
is an advantage to cars, but travellers wish
to go fast. They get through - now in about
the same time as in 1835; perhaps the dif
ference may be as 10 to 20. When cars
are taken, and the breakers are in good
order, cars may be let down the Columbia
Plane in safety without being attached to
the main rope. They were so let down in
1835. They were never so let down by
my orders, but sometimes the engines were
out of order, arid then there was no other
alternative-"
Peter Osborne, formerly high Sheriff of
Chester county, and now proprietor of pas
senger cars 'says,"the road was in bad order
in the fall of 1835, and, spring of 1836, it
took a great deal of labor and attention to
repair it, there was every exertion made
(in 1836) to get the transportation on. I
think there was not power enough on the
road; I should say there were not more ac
cidents on the road last year in proportion
to the business. There were a good many
old cars upon the road, more liable to break
than new ones. The•motive power is very
well conducted since Mr. Mehaffey has it.
Every thing is higher on the road than it
was the year before. It costs more to run
locomotives; men could not afford to give
their services so low."
Geo. W. Johnson, agent oftransportation
and political opponent, states: "1 don't know
that there was more complaint last year
than formerly. There were more boat
lines running last year, and more goods
passed through and more 'passengers on ,
the road. As to the reputation of Mr. '
Orme, (supery sor at Duncan's Island,) some
found fault and lime not. He appeared to
be very industrious and underwent great
fatigue."
Ferree Brinton, Robert Parke, Peter
Stayman, Hathorn Freeland, Dr Kirkwood
and Joseph Howett, all transporters on the
Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad, testi.
fy pretty much to the same effect. The
first named witness said: "I am a transpor
ter. 1 have been concerned in the business
since the 12th of April last, but owned no
cars until about two months since. The
Rail-road passes through my farm, and I
have a store and lumber yard. I have had
a good opportunity of observing the road and
its management. Since the commence
ment I hauled my lumber on it for building.
There was a good deal of mismanagement
in the summer of 1835, and until about four
menthe since. This mismanagement con
sisted principally in the engineers running
too fast, consequently breaking the cars.—
, There was also mismanagement for the
want of discipline in the year 1835—gene
rally with the engineers and the hands.—
There wean reform in this particular in the
spring of 183 P, but nut so manifest as to
wards the fall. In the spring of 18:9 there
were still remains of this insubordination;
but it was materially changed in the fall and
Winter. Both the road and the motive pow
er are better managed now then it has ever
been before. I spoke to Mr. Mehaffey
several times about engineers running too
fast, and the want of discipline among the
engineers and officers. He said they had
tried the experiment of using the power to
its utmost extent, for the purpose of getting
the goods through. That he was satisfied
that it would not answer, but that, Mr.
Ortlip was not willing to change the plan.
The experiment he alluded to was making
two tripe in the day. There was a diflicul.
ty in getting bands in the win'er of 1835-6,
in our neighborhood, to clear away the snow,
'r"..,..7;;/2C.
in consequence of a distrust among the
laborers as to theirpay. • This was before
the new set came in.' As a proof of the
distrust 1 have mentioned, i was spoken to
get hands to work - on the road; 1 called
upon several—told them they wore to get
a dollar a day. They said they would pre
fer me as paymaster at 50 cents a day and
board, that they were not willing to take
the state as paymaster—said others had
worked and got Mitchell's scrip, hut no
money. There was no difficulty of that
kind this wintor.
The British engines done n poor business.
so poor, some of them, that they did not
pay for the fuel. There was a want of mo
tive pniver on. the road in 1835, I under.
stood Mitchell gave script; got receipts, but
never paid. lie got the money. I think
the cars that were broken were principally
old ores. I saw no new ones broken, but
several old ones, principally Leech's.

Resolved, That we deprecate the attempt now
making by the Masonic Van Buren party to
make "Abolition" a party question. The cause
of the Constitution and Humanity should never

retain their legal property in Slaves, as may best
tend to the ends of slurries, and the preservation

SINGULAR Pinson EscAPE.-- , -We
ed a few days ago the conviction, at Fin
castle, Va. of two men for passing counter
feit money. It appears that one or then)
named Heath, after being returned to jail,
preparatory to his cotiveyance to the Peni
tentiary, made hiri escape in the following
mantier:—The wife of the prisoner was ad.
mined by the jailor to an interview with her
huSband, representing that she was about to
leave the country, and that it was the last
time she expected :to see him. After some
time, the jailor returned to the prisoner's
apartment, and found Mrs. Heath, (as -was
supposed,) ready to take leave of her hus
band—wrapped up in a cloak, and her face
concealed by hertionnet. Thus attired she
was suffered to pass out of the prison, all the
time sobbing aloud In the greatest apparent
distress. On visiting the jail next morning,
instead of the convict, Mrs. Heath was
found neatly drettaed in the clothes of her
husband, who had been permitted to pass
out, in the manner desciihed, the night pre.
vious. •The heroine,?addei the editor, after
a loud laugh, explained to the jailor the
secret of her husband's escape.
HUMOR AND GOOD HUMOR.
From the Philadelphia' Pennsylvanian.
Fulfilling pledges—Obeying Instructions.
These nice questions in political morals
are now mooted in New York—a bingular
case having arisen, the 'decision of which
will frequently be referred to hereafter as u
binding authority. The matter, if we un
derstand it correctly, is as follows: Some
time since, Mr. PRESERVED Fort, of New
York, an active member of Abe political
party to which we belong, voted that if ever
a Whig alderman were elected in the
seventh ward, he (Mr. Fos) would run
through all the wards in the city without
his nether integuments; in other words, that
he would for once play the part ofa sans
culotte, and appear in the habit of an "anti-.
que Roman." Now, tt so happens, that
through our decisions a whtg alderman has
beau elected in the.seveatli •wardt_ and the
.~c..:xsv~c~~ _~---.~xres:n
,
wing presses, elate with victory, loudly call
011 Mr. natt - to fulfil his vow, and emilate
the heroic conduct of the Lady Godtva,
which took place in the streets of Coventry
a few centuries ago. In fact, it is said that
all parties unite in desiring that the gentle
man's galligaskin and the race against time
should "come off' as speedily as possible;
and should it be resolved on, we can think
of no tune that can be played so appropri•
ate to the occasion as that fine old air "The
Garb of old Gaul." It this be the style
contemplated by the vow, why should Mr.
FlBll hesitate about appearing in a costume
so graceful and becoming as the kilt?
Not hingcun be more picturesque. George
IV. adopted it from choice, during his cel
ebrated visit to "Auld Reekie," and the
Highland regiments still cherish their na
tional dress, as both economical and beau
tiful. If a foot race is to be run, what can
add so much to swiftness as being divested
of 'superfluous clothing? The influence of
the weather would also be counteracted by
the increase of activity.

A COUNTY WITHOUT A LAWYER.—War•
ren county, Illinois, containing a population
of 7,000, with three or four thriving towns,
and twelve or fifteen more staked out and
in market, has not a lawyer in it. It is not
because the profession are ignorant of the
'fact; for attorneys aro always among /the
first discoverer) of western towns, and es
pecially county seats; but from the almost
total absence of litigation. "Two or three
lawyers have tried to live here," said our
inforMant, "but they had to dear out."

Illinois Patriot gives an account of a citiwn
of that region, who secured his lumber from

it, put an window and doorframes, and part.

Democratic anti -Masonic Meeting.
ai-We give in another column the proceedings
of our Democratic Anti-Masonic friends in the
Court-house, on Monday evening last. It was
composed principally of our country friends—all
of whom seemed pleased and determined to sus
tain the FARMER GOVERNOR who at present
guides the helm of State. The resolutions adop
ted by them were of the right kind, 'and will be
the rallying points at the next election. Anti-Ma
sonry, Ritner and Economy will call together in
one solid phalanx all who desire the welfare of
the State and the Supremacy of the Laws.
C. B. Penrose, Esq.
ozy-Among those who addressed the Democratic
Anti-Masonic meeting on Monday evening last,
was CIIAHLEB B. PKNROSE, Esq. His remarks
were principally confined to thu Governor's Veto,
and the cause and effects of the present great dis
tress in the Cities of New Orleans, Now York
and other places. On those points ho was listene
ed to with great attention, and imparted much
interesting information to his numerous audience.
The way in which ho barkiled "The Government"
and "Patent Democracy," was a caution, and the
few "spirits" thnt ventured within his hearing wore
seen to tarn alternatelYt '•blue and pale!" Mr.
Penrose, in the last few years, has shown himself
to be a true-hearted Pennsylvanian and a Stites
man, far above those vile Domagngues who would
sacrifice the dearest interests of the State at the
shrine of party. Such men as Mr. Penrose de
serve to he, and will be sustained by the honest
freemen of Pennsylvania.
Conventions.
( ./ -•This day the far-famed "Integrity of the
Union" Convention will assemble at Harrisburgh.
After its adjournment, there will be TEN Allah
tionists where there is one now. Mobs, gag-laws
and denunciations aro the very things to increase
the cause and make for it thousands and thou
sands of friends. Dut as Davy Crocket used to
say—"Go a-heed.'"
To-morrow the Convention to propose a
mendments to the Constitution also meets in Hur
risburgh. If our friends are punctual and act in
harmony, either WALTEtt FORWARD or Jou ti
SERDEANT will be the President of that important
body. In such a body, all party bickerings should
be laid aside, and both branches of the conservative
party should act unitedly for the best interests of
the State, that they might .the better be prepar
ed to resist the innovations of the Dallasites, who
will doubtless be for "repealing Charters," "intro-.
ducing Slavery," and for carrying out all tho other
obnoxious doctrines of their great leaded
cc7.on the 22d instant, a Democratic Anti-Ma
sonic State Convention will also be held in Har
risburgh. Delegates will no doubt be in attendance
from every County in the State. The best feeling,
we are rejoiced to -state, prevails throughout our
ranks. All appear to be in readiness to go for
ward at the proper time in the good old cause, and
in sustaining our worthy FsnstEn. GovsnNon.—
One of the first acts of the State Convention will
be, to choose delegates to a National Auti-Maionic
Convention, when without doubt, the Heroe of
Tippecanoe will be again placed in nomination for
the Presidency. Should that course be pursued,
the days of the Masonic Van Duren party, so far
as Pennsylvania is concerned, will be numbered.
ajqt is also proposed to hold, at the same place
on the 23d instant, a Convention of Editors.
Such a convention, we have no doubt, would provo
highly beneficial, not only to the Fraternity, but
to the Public. We therefore approve of the propo
sition.
Mobs, Arc. iu Chamberaburghl
cCrit was no matter of surprize to our readers
to learn, an they did last week, that a mobbing
took place lately to Chambersburgh! There are
some "mad spirits" in that good Borough always
ripe for such things! Not long since, because an
intelligent Jury would not, right or wrong, hang a
man, those kind spirits" burnt them in efligy,and
threatened violence to their persons! A while af
terwards, a distinguished citizen of this county,
for his independence as a Legislator, was also com
mitted (in-effigy) to•the flames, by kindred souls
in a neighboring town! And a few nights ago,
because one of their Editors condemned such hon.
eit expressions of indignation, and contended for
freedom of opinion on all subjects, he too must
be burnt! He too must ho hung up in effigy and
made to dance to the music of such "black spirits
and whitA" Nor is this alb When the Chief
Burgess and other Citizens attempted to adopt
measures to keep order and quiet in the town,
these name hobgobblins wore on the spot ready to
create disorder, and elevate Lynch law above the
Constitutional laws of the country!
Such men, we care not whether they be "pro
fessional" men or not, are a disgrace—a damning
disgrace to the place; and we trust, for the honor
and character of Chambersburgh, the high-minded
and intelligent citizens of that place will ferret out
the leaders in those disgraceful scones, and bring
them io punishment.
The following remarks we copy from the
"Weekly Messenger," a religious paper, Edited by
Rev. Mr. SCHNICIC:•-•-•
CHAMBERSBURGFI, April 26.
We have heard with much pain and re
gret of the shameful conduct of several per
sons—for we hope and believe, that but
few were concerned in it—at a public meet
ing, held in the Court-house of this place, a
week or ten days since. The subject of
the meeting was, to appoint Delegates to
the Anti-Abolition Convention at Harris
burgh. M r.' Blanchard, an Abolition lec
turer being in town that evening, attended
the meeting, without intending, we believe,
to take any part in the discussions.
With regard to the actual conduct of Mr.
Blanchard, we have heard different state-
silents—according to some, he did not speak
at all; others say, that he attempted it, but
was prtivented—and others again—which
we believe to be the most correct—that he
merely answered "I will," to a question
proposed by one of the speakers, "whether
any one present were willing, to discuss
the subject of Abolitionism with him on the
following evening?" At all events, the son•
timents of Mr. B. were known, and this
seems to have been sufficient to cause a ta.
mull an the, house, from which he wag dri
ven, or followed to the door of the Hotel
and pelted with eggs, amid the hissings and
threats of the mob!
Such conduct cannot be ton severely re
primanded, and the offenders should be dealt
with in .the most decided mariner by the
judicial tribunals. We do not deem it to
be a suftcient excuse, that the disorderly
conduct alluded to, was perpetrated by a
few unprincipled individual* who have no
character to lose. Whoever they are, and
whatever their station in society, they ought
not be perinitted to qample with impunity,
on the dearest rights of man—freedom of
thought and speech.
We speak not thus from sympathy with
modern abolitionism—for we are free to de
clare, that we have no such sympathies—
but we deprecate the spirit of lawless vio
lence, of late so prevalent in our land. Let
the cause be what it may; let it be, or sup
posed to be, ever so absurd, or evil in its
tendency—it can never be justifiable to re
sort to such means for its overthrow.
ozy.The "Franklin Masonic Repository," it ap
pears, has made a "great discovery." It states,
as a fad, that nearly all the Anti-Masonic papers
are opposed to the Slavery Convention, which
meets to-day in Harrisburgh! What a wise man,
considering he lives in Chambersburgh!
ct,Sr. Jortsr's Cutrucii, a magnificent build
ing recently erected in Frederick city by the Catho
lic denomination, was consecrated on Wednesday
last, in the presence of a large concourse of yer
sons. °The cons"cratory sermon," the Times
states, "was delivered by the Right Rev. Dr. ENo
-4s n, of Charleston, S. C., and was justly admir
ed for its ability, eloquence and truly pious senti
ment."
c-2. There kayo been in New York, during the
present pressure, upwards of Iwo hundred and

NEW YORK MIRROR.—CHARLES J. HOFF
MAN, EHq a writer of much promise, and
favorably known as the author of "A Win
ter in the West," has become connected
with the New York Mirror, as one of the
editors of that popular periodical. The ac
cession of editorial talent thus secured to the
Mirror, must largely tend to give value to
its pages, and make bettee that which be
fore was very good.
TEE WIIEAT CROP.—Kentucky papers
report, that in the north.eastern parts of that
State, the wheat presents a more• unprom
ising appearance than for many years past.
in Virginia, some of the farmers have
broken up their whlat land, and prepared
it for oats and corn: and from Maryland too
the Same cheerless prospect is presented.—
It is to be hoped that scarcity of bread.stuffs
may not be added the coming year to the
distress arising from scarcity of money; but
in truth there would seem to be some danger
of such a result. Vegetation every ~where
is very backward this spring; and from al
most all quarters we hear sad forebodings
of the complete or partial failure of the wheat
crop in particular.—Pittsburgh Times.
Mr. McPherson, who has been held to
bail on a charge of committing the late rob.
bery at Frederick, in a card to the public,
requests a suspension of their judgment,
until he receives an impartial trial from a
jury of his countrymen. This is nothing
but fair, as the law "presumes every man
innocent until he is found guilty."
It is stated there are more than two thou.
sand mechanics of various trades, besides
a vast number of laborers, out of employ
ment in the cities of New York and Phila
delphia.
Gen. Alma. LACOCH died at his resi
dence near Freedom, in Beaver county, on

Gen. L. has, at different periods, been a

National Legislatures, and was, we believe,
one of the first of the Canal Commissioners
of Pennsylvania.
We regret to be called upon to announce
the death of NATHANIEL ELLHAAER, Esq.
—father ofour fellow townsman Amos Ell.
maker, Ehq.—which occurred at his-resi
dence in this county, on the evening of
Monday last. Mr. Ellmaker was known
here and elsewhere as one of the earliest of
the advocates of Anti-Masonry. He was
among the first, if not the very first, in this
county, to raise his warning voice against
the iniquities and abominations Free-Mason
ry; and although the whole force of the Ma
sonic artillery was directed against him, he
firmly maintained until the last the stand
which he had assumed, and freely gave his
time and his means in aid of the great
work.—Lancaster Examiner.
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THE CORRECT.
NESS OF THE VETO.—It is really gratifying
to witness the overwhelming evidences to the
sound judgment and true oatriotism dis
played by the governor, in his veto on the
mammoth improvement bill. The Anti.
Masonic papers thought the state loudly ap
prove it; the whig papers, so far as we have
teen, are unanimous is favor. Some of
the Van Buren napery, and many—very
many,of the Van Buren men now admit that
it is right, and say that for once Old Joe
has done well. This is truly strong evi
dence in favor of the veto. .
But the strongest, and most satisfactory
and conclusive testimony in its favor is yet
to. be mentioned: a is the refusal Of the
editors of the collar papers to publish it.—
The 4;" have all read the veto—they know
and ( r eel that its statements and its argu
ments are irresistible, and therefore they
suppress it.—Piasburda Gazette.
Lormavrne.—The Southwestern Chris
tian Advocate announces the death, on the
29th of February, in Davidson county, (Ten

to restore every organ to a state of health. This

shy piece of land, and from a state of sterility
soon ,produce a most abundant fertility, and so
it is with the human body. When any thing is
the matter with it, we have only occasion to
drain it by purgation, and experience has taught
those who have adopted this reasonable practice,
[because consistent with our nature,) that they
have acted rightly, the result having been sound
health. About ten thousand persons can be ie. ,

'number in Philadelphia, who have been cured,
when every other means had become unavailing,
of diseases which appeared of the most opposite
character, and where to all appearance, no human

of those Pills, been restored to perfect health, the

in White Swelling, diseasopf the Hip Joint, Scro.

marks, not from the certificates of unknewn par

created general astonishment. The most impor.

O'Neill's medicine — the -Medical Faculty having,
