TLe Locos take on Monstrously, about the mutter. This Is a good sign. IT ISHOWS THAT THEY know the jig is up—that they cannot get the "spoils." ix7The “Sentizel" has hoibted the Clay flag, but the editor expresses his willingness to support Gen. HA unison, if ho should be nominated by the National Convention. We abide by the nomina tion already made, whilst the nominees of the late Anti-Masunic Convention remain in the field; as aurcd that Gen. Harrison is the only man on whom the opponents of the present wicked Na tional Administration, can unite with the smallest chance of success. There are not fifty men in Adams county, of whom Mr. Llay is the first choice—and if there was an election to-morrow, and Mr. Clay and Martin Van Duren, the candi dates, Mr. Clay would be beaten'. Why then is he pressed! Tha, Gettysburg Extension of the Columbia and Philadelphia Rail Road. • oz?Thei election of IL IL Porter as Governor, and T. C. 'Miller as Senator, has decided the fall of this important work. Diu doubt any longer ex ists that it will be suspended, until the people are taught by experience the folly of elevating such men to office. This portion of the public works has been singled out as a sacrifice to party malignity. Heretofore our public improvements have been un touched by party politics. But those days of fair Legislation have gone by,and hereafter every thing —Public Improvements, Judicial Decisions, the Education System, must all fall a sacrifice to polit ical violence, as parties alternately triumph. It is lamentable, but unavoidable. The people will Tote for knaves and mod expect them to act out their character. In his late message to the Legis lature, Governor Porter has indulged in many falsehoods in matters of fact. With them at pre sent spi will not interfere.' But as he has recom menda the stopping of the Southern Rail Road, and will be successfully seconded by oprpenotor, it may be well to correct and enlighten his , ignor ance of its importance, by a plain history of it, and its coat, if completed to the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road,and the Potomac Canal at Clear Spring. The Columbia Railroad is finished from Philidel phiato Wrightsville; and the Whrightsville, York end Gettysburg Rail Road, will be completed to York by the month of May next. From that place to Gettysburg 20 miles, its completion will proba bly depend upon the progress of the State work West of Gettysburg, the Company having deter. mined to complete it in time to meet this work.— The "Gettysburg Extension" was located West of Gettysburg, towards the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road,at the ?atomic River near Clear Spring. The heavy part ofthe work is between Gettysburg and the top of the South Mountain being 225 miles, the whole of which is Graded except about 2 . b miles. The most substantial Stone Bridges and Culverts have been built over all the streams; no Wood work of any kind being allowed on the line. On the west eWe from the summit of the mountain to its base in Franklin County, it is under contract and part of the work done. Front that to Clear Spring,is an uninterrupted Valley of the finest land in the State, and so level as not to cost more than $8,0( 1 0 per mile to grade it, being about 20 miles. The whole cost of graduation and supersteuctu • (using the heavy 'l' Rail and Locust Sills) can not exceed $1,750,000 as estimated by Mr. Bally; and estimated and sworn to by Mr. Mifflin. Ap proptiutione amounting to $517,000 have already been made and paid out on the work; and we un derstand there is due to the Contractors, estimates and retained per centage about $150,000 more.— The damages to land holders (the work being stop ped) would not be less than $33,000. If those two last items be provided for by the Legislature, the money already invested in the work cannot be less than $700.000. ' To complete and stock it so as to put it tn'full operation would require $1,000,000 or In Passing judgment on the propriety of its eban donment, the first thing to be considered is—ila utility. The second—is the coat proportionate to its usefulness? When completed it would sup ply the only link unprovided for of a continuous Railroad from Philadelphia to Pittsburg & Wheel jog, without an Inclined plane. No doubt any longer exists of the speedy completion of the Bal timore end Ohio Railroad to these places. By the laws of Pennsylvania and Maryland,and the assent Piths Company irrevocably given and nicer& d, Eennsylvanis hos the right to use the road from the junction of our row) westward on the same terms with the company itself, The completion, then, of the Gettysburg Extension wppld give this ISIMp the free course of Railroad from the Dela. warp olio Ohio River, through a rem fer tile end populous country, in a Southern Juno& free front obstruction. It would pass through Valli, A t latus,l3cilfurd,Bomerset,Weetraorcland,Fayette, Witahingtun and Allegheny couniies,to 'Pittsburg; Otrthrough . Washington Brit) Orden counties, to Wheeling. The vast advantage in a commercial paint of view, I will not attempt to estimate. It would el cowl all preient calculation, of the moat stasulue loud far-wring Statesman. It would place oar groat thuniutircial Metropolis above all rivalry The country,e/rouga which it paws would enjoy privileges known to but few parts of the world. As sit investment of money it must be very 'arguable. T b. Columbia Railroad during the past year (a doll one for trade) has paid nearly steers per cent /4111 1011$ AN ire cost.

But Mat • must not be made because it touches Adams county; and because it does not go up the Jun lotto river through Huntingdon coun ty! 'nu, public can now judge how much weight is due to the assertion of Porter (stolen from Btrolim) that ttitv commencenutnit teas injudicious —the cost of its construction enormous—sad its further prosecution not warranted by prudence or patriotism''!! • The North Branch Canal. co - This work is highly recommended by Gov. Porter, and its completion urged, even at the ex pense of borrowing unlimited amounts of money. It may be well enough to examine the claims of this work to public favor. They are certainly very little understood throughout the Common wealth. This Canal was begun upon Log Rol. ling principles, to purchase votes to carry the main line. It was urged that when it reached the Wyoming Coahßegion it would be very profitable by bringing that article to market. It has been finished quite through that coal regain for more than four years ; and yet the toll on it never paid the superintendence and repairs. It is now pro. posed to run it 100 miles further North, to the New York state line. This part of the work is .very heavy and expensive. It runs along the _I margin of the river which fur more than half of tho distance is hemmed in by high bold Mountains of rock, requiring the ennui to be Imilt . outinto the river. Its cost from Lackawana {lipid of Wyoming Valley,) to the state line will exceed five millions of Dollars. Its advantages when finished arehard to discover. It unites with noun of the New York Improvilments, nor does it reach within forty miles of ifiriningham (the head of the New Nark improvetnetitti 'on • that brunch) nor within twenty miles, - of Elmira on the other branch of. the River. curls through a barren country which docti not supply the inhabitants with grain sufficient for their own use, being hut illy adapted to Wheat. it may furnish a few, of the farmers in New York with coal ; but country places afford but a scanty market for that article. Like the lower section of the same work it will never pay one per cent on its cost. Every sec tion of more than sixty miles of that work is,more expensive than'any section over the South moun tain on the Gettysburg Railroad. The cost of the whole work is more then five times the amount required to complete our Road. And yet it is nothing, but ours 'Vastly' expansive says Solomon Porter. The Baltimore Chroniclg. The Baltimore Chronicle a . Whig paper, takes frequent occasion to justify the Harrisburg rebels, at least by• implication, by attackingand censuring the conduct of the Anti-Van Buren par ty. What do you suppose is its motive? It is edited by a little fellow by the name of Poe; who is a high. Mason; so were nine tenths of the rebel leaders. We need search no further for motives. This same Masonic Daniel objects to the opera tions of Anti-Masonry in Pennsylvania as injuring the Anti-Van Buren cause. Before Anti-Masonry arose the Anti-Jackson party numbered less than 50,000 votes in / Penneylvania. Now, 126,000. Let Anti-Masonry die, and Masonic Clayism wits its place, and brother Boaz of the Chronicle will find the Anti-Van Buren party reduced to 40,000 or less in. this :gate. But why argue with the Lodge! They hate all who oppose Masonry no matter how usefull to the country. "The Legislature", The assembly, which is now silting in the Capitol of this Commonwealth, styling itself the hose of Representatives, is still a body unknown to the Constitution, whose acts can be no more eflixtive in law, than the acts of au (intim+ ryDebating Society, or other self constituted club. Some of the An!i•masonic and Whig papers seem to think,that this body coutinues to be "illegal, only because a majority of its members have not been sworn," since its re•organiza tion, by the second election of Hopkins, a s Speaker. It is no doubt illegal for this Fee, son. But would it cease to be an, if all the members who compose it had been sworn since its organization? We think not l'he swearing of the members cannot cure or legalize its usurpation. The root of its rottenness, lies deeper than this informality. There is butane question, on which the legality or illegality of this budy, hinges, namely : was the " Cunningham House," legally and constitutionally organized, on the 4th of December last f We believe it was ; we believe so after the maturest reflection, which we have been able to give to the subject. If we are right, the body over which Hopkins now presides, is illegal, and most remain so, until Thomas S. Cun ningham is placed in the Si. eakers Chair, under, his election of the 4th of December last. If the "Cunningham House," was ever the legal House of Rep i reseatatives, it is so still. it is not dissolved ; the Senate can not disseilve it; the Governor cannot dissolve it ; it hewn° constitutional power to dis solve itself. The elements may be scattered to the four windb, but in contemplation of law, it is still the House of Representatives —and there can be but one House of Re. presenlatives. The resignation of Mr. Cunningham, as Speaker cannot dissolve it.; the resignation of its members, as irmilbors of the Howie, cannot dissolve it ; for if elections were licit) ) to fill vacencics occasioned by such resignations, the personvelsciall would not I constitute a new [louse, bat , be new mem bers of the old one, and:Noes of terwsins. In our opinion, rto dissolution 'of The Con nitigham.liouse, can take place, 'until the Constitutional period for a new election shall come about. • • Senator Irvin. 0;:r We learn from liarrisburoluit, Senator Irvin of Clearfield, has resigunil his seat in the Senate.

On Thursday last, Mr. Penrose addressed the ennin itioe on the subject of the State Improvements generally. Among other things ho said he intended to move an ap propriation of $250,000 to the Gettysburg Rail road, and to make this palatable to some vi his constitnetiie, he would propose Green Cialle as a point of that worit. lie said we should go for the entire com pletion of the State improvements.—He would go for an enlarged, extended, liberal system ;. or if gentlemen become too econ omical, he would join them, and go for a sybost► which would only complete two lines of the public improvements. He would go for either sound liberality or en tire economy. Mr.Carpentertben addressed the com mittee in reply to Mr. Penrose He said he saw no benefits derived to the Common• wealth from the money spent within the last few years. Mr- Ewing said he wield be wiry in deed it the State were now in the genie situation as she was when Joseph Ritner came into power. At that time when the Erie extension and North Branch were a bandoned, and the credit of the State was so low that it was feared they would never be completed. Mr. Miller (of Adams) nddresed the committeen in favour of the Southern (Get tysburg) rail road.

COMMUNICATIONS• FOX TUB GIATTIr•SUMG ■r&l. Socrates Again. "A goddess ! for no fess she seems." Ma: EDITOR :—I hail the appearance of dasti tippe," as the precursor of fetuall glory, and re• nown—the time has, at length, arrived when, at leapt, one woman endowed with a high order of intellect, has entered upon the stage of life, espe cially if we take her own ipso dixit, for the proof, Whence did she come? Really,nshe must have "Dropt from the clouds!" Henceforward alas for man ! Physical superiori ty will be his only stay—since the fair ...Xnntip pe" has given poor Socrates such a severe drub- bing, and taught women, that they are equal to man, in intellect—if not superior. The very least, that all females should do for '•Xunttppe," would be, to call her the ben'faclor of her sex ! Why did not, ...Kantippe," place her own name, in the list of eminent females, with which, she presented us in her communication. It would, no doubt, shine quite as cnnspicuusly as that of any, of her illustrious feminine,. If uXantippe" has not succeeded in establishing the claims of her sex, to equality of intellect with man, she has, at any rate, maintained their repu. tenon for excessive loquaciousness. think, quoth Mr. Editor, her tongue Of an aspen leaf must be made!" Circumstances, however, on the present occasion, mitigate her censure somewhat for this" fault, as she undoubtedly wrote under "full inspiration" of her subject. As to the arguments she has advan ced against mine, I have nothing to say. They are before the public ) with whose decision I shag be perfectly satisfied. Truth, and not victory is 'my object. I have heard, but not with surprise, that the la. dies in our town are dreadfully ell - ended et Sucre tes, and threaten to treat him with manifest con tempt. I would, however, advise them to make sure of their victim, before they inflict the punish ment—for I have heard many suspected who are entirely innocent. On Socrates himself, they will not have the opportunity of taking vengeance, very frequently, as his secluded habits, seldom bring him within the sphere of their influence, at present. •I take this opportunity to assure the la dies of our town, that not the slightest personal reference was had to them. All my adventures and jilts have occurred in another quarter. I must say, little as I have mingled with female society in our town, that I have always been treated, with that kindness and hospitality, for which the ladies -of Gettysburg are proverbial. Judging from the character of her communica- I don, .Xantippe" hus chosen a very suitable signa ture. Truly, I think she is an apt prototype of that ancient Scold. She his exhibited much of that snappish spirit, which, we aro told, character-I ised "Xantippe" of old, and which has been a terror to man ever since. If she don't take good care, I will tell a little circumstance on her, which is said to have occurred in the days of classic lore, that will, by npmeans, be very fluttering to_her 'kind.. A friend, at my elbow, says--do tell it. Here it is. Xantippe, the wife of Socrates, at all times displayed a most violent ternperment ; but at oue time, we are told, it became so ungoverna ble, that it broke out in thunder and rain. Soc rates was conversing with a friend . no doubt, upon matters of much importance. His wife—Xantip pe perceiving, that the voiles of tonguo•grape, which she had, for some cause or other, or rather for no cause at all, been aiming at him, made no impression upon the old philosopher; emptied a pail of water over his :lead and shoulders The philosopher candy replied, after thunder, there usually comes a shower. As the conduct of Socrates, on this occasion,bas been much admired, I will fullow his example. Although, this Modern “Xantippe," bets tried to say acme pretty hard things against me, F shall !deka it all in good /tumor. It is my ardent wish, .hanvevitr, that none beg spbiloaopher, of tie real Socratic stamp, may bees rarifortnitate, vital:mite his fate with my fair orpiment—provided Aso character of .her communication, be a correct des. of her disposition. Charity, however, induces conclude that the disposition, which she ex hibits to those .arevand her in society, is much sweeter. and much more inviting, than that which shines through her nvorfevt "rejoinder." Pray, Mr. Editor, who is she—who crusher highness bel I have had my thoughts at work ever sluice she has made her a ppearance, in trying to pry out the real author. If I were nut aware. that it is con. sidered, a breach of "good faith," onyuar part, to give the author, I should have made application Jong ere this. I have imagined her to he, almost every hotly, Ma almost every thing. At one time, i imagine I sec her armed with the broom. stick—scissors "etcetera," ready to saunter forth, and with feminine indignation, to inflict condign punishment on poor Socrates; by preparing bin head, to undergo the tangibJe scrutiny of a burnp otogist. Whilst, at another time, I see her armed , • with a "grey-goose quill"—paper , ink, dictionary and a whole half dozen of other "etceteras," de termined to show to the world that Socrates has been mistaken in his views of is oniankit.d, and that he stionld "Have acute Of whomhe talkato whotrornd trhatoted where" At such times, the sir of self importance, which conscious victory inspirer, odds no little, to the dignity of her appeal once. Need I tell you, that I often imagine her to he, every thing that is sweet, and amiable in her sex, endowed with a high order of intellect—an exception to the general rule,— "A little, pretty, charming she !" Mr. Editor, as I am quite a susceptible being, you will hot he surprised, when I tell you that the words, in the latter part of her communication, made a deep impression on my mind. I allude to the fa.t of her saying, that she did not wish to sustain a certain relation to Socrates, unless he should prove a much more clever fellow, than she anticipmed. Now, I have always esteemed any self to be a pretty clever sort of a fellow, and I think, all that would be necessary, to induce Xantippo" to arrive at the same conclusion, would be to have a thorough knowledge of Soc rates. it i. true, he said some pretty hard things against the ladies, and tried to prove their intel lectual inferiority ; but if "Xantippo" were ac quainted with circumstances, she would, in all probability, nut fuel quite as much disposed to cen sure. If she knew how Socrates had been jilted, by some of her fair kind, and how they had tri umphed over his wounded feelings,l feel persuaded that she would forgive all, and not blame him, even if he had determined— " From henceforward to blot out of his thoughts All memory of womankind." This resolution I have often formed, but just as often abandoned it. Although formed quite late ly again, the few kind words from ".Xantippe," have shaken my resolution considerably. It is my misfortune (for I can deem it nothing else) to be ono of those beings, whom a kind look' from a lady, puts entirely "out of sorts." It throws me into a strange delirium, from which, I generally a•vak• with an aching heart, and a determined rcaolution.to be love-pronf, against all the fascin- , aliens of these charming eyrans. If I thought, that your fair correspondent would meet out to me the same treatment, I would brace myself up be hind all the stoiciana coaltkcotornatnl..imd, w i th' the little firmness still remaining, I would lash' Myself fast, to the mast of common sense, and like Ulysses of old pass the fatal roar/ with safety; I would make no advances whatever. But I have a better opinion of my fair opponent. Such de lightful words could neve; have emenated, from a cruel disposition—they could be the offspring only. of the kindest and best disposed. Mr. Editor— I do wish you could devise some plan or other, by which your antagonistic corms. pondcnts could have an explanation. lam exceed. ingly anxious to know, what one of the "better portion" of creation, has condescended to notice my communication. But as there is no likeli. ho d of an immediate discovery, and as "Xantip. pe" has requested me to explain certain things, I will .promise that my next communication shall contain a history of Socrates—especially , of his unsuccessful adventures with the fair sex. In the mean time, I would advise Miss "Xantippe," to remain perfectly cool, and not suffer herself to be too vindictive against Socrates, for I can assure her, that ho cherishes none but the kindest feel ings towards her, and her sex, anti by. Ole time she has read his eventful history, her sentiments will, no doubt, undergo a material change, in reference to her friend SOC RATES. 40.000 :30,000 From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser. A PRISON SCENE. As one of our citizens was recently jour neying homeward from the commercial me tropolis, be stopped, for en hour or two, at Auburn. Impelled by motives of curi osity, he repaired to the State Prison, and went the usual rounds, with the view of con. tomplatinm, in his "low estate," ONE whom he had known and moved with in palmy days of proud and golden prosperity, but who was now within those gloomy wa:ls a CONVICT FELON, condemned to years of si• lent toil, aide by side with villains of every hue of crime. In a secluded part of the immense building he found the object of his search, attired in the coarse parttcolored convict dress, soiled and dirty his hair cropped close to his head, and hi' yet dignified form bent painfully over his tusk. His countenance was deadly rile, save where, upon each cheek, a midi, deep hectic spot told the troubled workings of hi:, unquiet mind, while his unshaven chinovitli a beard of a weeks groWth,contrasted taiiinge ly with his high marble like forehead, and altered ,features, imparting a wildness to his appearance which befitted the gloomy scene around.

Placed again at liberty, after his hug incarceration ter waut of buil,he was once moretietively rang ing the seems of his fbrmer enterprises,and planning busily fur the future. The ambiti ous schemes which once more swelled his restless bosom,and gilded the hitherto dark. erred prospect of existence,none but himself and confidential friends can know. But these buildiiig hopes and bright anticipations were suddenly blasted and sterner visions thronged confusedly before him. His igniiin:neus doom, with its abject toil, its lonely hours of pain, and lonelier of remorseful thought, its cureless, scathing shame, lay with a sicken ing, deadly weight upon his heart. Next came the prison scene, where amid the clank of fetters, and the rattlirelchains, and the harsh grating of dungeon doors, he commenced the routine of his monotonous task. And what maddening reflections have been his in the few weeks which have since succeeded! What bitter unavailing regrets have dwelt, .vith a constant and mournful presence, in his agitated bfeast I W hat lonely yearnings fur the forfeited delights of social life once more, the forfeited esteem and confidence of the wrongedcommunity in which he had striven to build up his fame! And conscience,like a reproving ane e' el,point- Mg, with her moveless finger, to the past, has, thrungh his waking houis,been a silent, yet haunting monitor,whose mental sceurg ings have been more terrible titan the physi cal ills which have borne upon his frame. It is n sad lesson—the fate of BENJAMIN RATHBUN. . . THE DEHT OF VIROINIA.—The State Debt of Virginia now amounts to $.5,2: 5,- 250.
