He also adduced authorities to show that _ Oregzon is worth nothing for agricultural purposes. He 'was with Mr. Webster, convinced' hat public sentiment on both sides the Atlantic is in favor of a settlement upon the 49th degree. He said no one could' "suppose 'for a moment that Eng lan.fl Would takeless than'49. Hence it .was itther 49 or, war. — The cost of a war would at least -100 millions annually, and the whole territory was not worth a tenth part of that sum. He then drew a glowing picture of- the horrors of war, and tht immense . d =4O-England with her 'steam navy could do up at the outset. He argued that the honor of this country could not all be corriPromised by settling upon 49, at; we were entitled to nothing more.

THE SUBTREASURY BlLL.—This odious measure was taken up in the House of Representatives on Monday last, and, by the application of the Legislative screw, the discussion was brought to a close yes terday, and the bill passed by a majority exceeding fifty votes. This is a bold step of the dominant party in Congress, after the' emphatic manner in which the scheme was denounced and repudiated by the voice of the country in 1840:. One .cur rency for the:Government and another for the People is-a, system obnoxious to our free institutions, repugnant to public senti ment, and will never be tolerated in . a free country. If we are permitted to augur.the future from the past, public indignation will pronounce upon it and its authors a fi nal doom in 1848.—Nat: Int ~ of 4. Mr. Benton's speech is everywhere hail ed as a great effort. The New York Ga zette says "it seems generally acknowl edged he has made the most important speech opon the Oregon question that has yet been delivered. In the shape in Which we find it reported in the Washington •U -nion, it must be acknowledged that its bear ing upon the great question of peace or war can hardly be over estimated." The Journal of Commerce says : "Thanks to Mr. Benton for his straight forward, manly speech ! A friend in need is friend. indeed ? Had his great influence been excited in favor of extreme measures, 'there might have been some doubt of the result, even in the Senate; but now that he has taken his position along side of Cal houn; Webster, Haywood, *Berrien, Col quitt, Crittenden, and their compeers, what hepe is .there for. the 5440 men,--the Al- Casses, - Hannegans, - Breeses, • &c? They are left in the vocative—wanting.— They are , defeated, and the country's safe." WHAT IFAS CONGRESS DONE !---The Con gress of the nation has now been in session for four mOnths, having commenced on the first day of DeceMber last, and we be lieve the people. ,are fully satisfied that never did their representatives .occupy the Capitol with less benefit to the public, or less - credit' to themselves. But what has Congress done since the first of December? It has authorized the annexation of Texas, and thereby secured one vote in the House of Representatives, and two in the . Senate, for the President's partp—three votes, and the probability for a. war of the most vexatious kind. - The Congress of the nation .fouud the country entering upon a career of prosper ity. It has succeeded in disturbing all calculations. of business, that brings ex tensive advantages: It found the wealth of the nation driven from former invest ments, flowing towards manufactures, and it has checked the career, and paralyzed the enterprise.—U. S. Gazette. NEW JERSEY LEGISLATION.—The Bill to suppress vice and ImMorality was pass ed in the House of the New Jersey Legis , lature on Wednesday, Without amendment. Many ineffectual attempts have.been made during its .several readings to modify the section relating to the observance of the Sabbath, by allowing the Seventh-day Bap tists to work whenever they choose on the first day, and another attempt was made to introduce a clause permitting them to vend their Wards in settlements in which the "mass of the people were Seventh-day Bap tists, and after Wards modified still further by:substituting the word "all" for "mass," but no better success. It seems there are communities in the lower part of the State composed almost entirely of these people. SHOCKING AFFAIR-At Pennsylvania Furnace, Centre County, on Friday morn ning was committed P. most horrible murder by 'tot indiiidual named HENRY In while laboring under an attack Of ma- nia pont—the murdered man was his fath . 'lt seems, from the best accounts we can gather, that after declaring there - was a parcel of devils . in the house, and one old devil which he- inteded to kill, he went to his house, picked up the axe at the wood pile, went in and found his father, Mr: Andrew Irvin; lying upon the bed. His Wife,-Who was in a neighbor's house, saw him go in and followed him ; upon reach , ing the house she saw him engaged in chop. pping away this father upon the bed.— She instantly gave the alarm, attempted to stop him; but he turned to cut her down, and she runt and made. her escape. The body of 'the, old man was horribly mutila ted, If , Was .taken through this place on Saturday night last, and interred in the bur ying ground near uncansville on Sunday. Irvin :has doubtless been sent to Belle fonte jail to await.a trial. An inquest, we understand, was held'upon the body of the deceased, and a verdict found in , accordance with • the above statement.—Thmt. Journ. I BURNT Ta DEATH.—About nine o'clock,, yesternay _forenoon, an interesting—little girl, three years and a half old, daughter of Mr. JOHN MAGRAW, of Fountain street, IVAS so badly burnt; by her, clothes taking fire, as to, cause her death' in abont three hours. It took place while her mother Was 'absent fora short time, and the poor little child wasbimt to a'crisp over its whole body: ; The scene when the parents arrived . was most heart-rending.. The screams of the ,distraeted mother rent the air, and lieu an= guish,was.so.intense it was necessary •to - remove her from the house.. , POISONEDA. lankily was recently-poi soned at Peterabtirgh,liuntingdoa county, consequence of eating . apple 'butter lorhieh bad been kept' in glazed -Orocktc,— One of the tainily, a "young man, drid•'tall the reativ i ho partook of it, wye in. a• . Pittsburg Gzette. MMI Let the Tariff Stand. . t&The , York ROptiblican . states that Col. Jacob llantz has sold his mill proper ty in Nest-Manche ter township, in that county, to a griintleman froM Baltimore, who will ptocced immediately to erect a large building for _a . Cotton Factory. _At.- ter referring to this enterprise as a renewed evidence of the beneficial „operation of the Tariff, the Republican adds : "Let the Tar iff stand, and crc many years the streams and Water-falls of Pennsylvania will be as vocal with the rattle of spindles as those of New England. Not only will the Iron and Coal of her mountains require the ap plication of labor, but the Cotton of, the South will give it also productive employ ment. There is nothing that can prevent this, except the folly and madness of party directing the legislation of Congress to the Repeal of the Tariff. If this should be done, all these enterprizes will no doubt be stopped—laborers . will lose their em ployment—mechanics their custom—farm ers, a home market for their produce—Eng • land will supply us with her fabrics at her own prices, and whatever of our grain or meat she may take must pay the cost of commission and freight to Europe before it can reach her markeL But though her Corn laws be repealed, it is very clear that we cannot furnish Wheat to her as cheap as she can obtain it front the Continent .of Europe. In consequence of the low price of labor there, - - Wheat is cheaper - than in this country; and the ports of that Conti nent being nearer to England than we are of course they world command and supply the market. Then with manufactures suspended, and our grain undersold in England, what must be done? One re source would he that famous specific pre scribed by JAMES BUCHANAN to "reduce our nominal to the real standard of prices throughout the world"—etit down the IVages of labor, in other words, and the price of land, and thus . raise Wheat as cheap as they do on the Continent of Eu rope. Our laboring Men rejected this pre scription in 1840 : ; but the LocofOcoS,, red stored. to power, are determined, neverthe less, to administer it, and they have there fore passed through the House of Repre sentatives last week a bill to revive and re establish the condemned Sub Treasury, with the most stringent provisions, requi ring all dues - to the Government to be paid ,in specie alone. This constant drain, into. the coffers of the Treasury of the basis on which the ordinary Bank note circulation of the country rests, will compell either a suspension-of Specie Payments and a cur rency of irredeemable rags for the. People, or will bring about . such a -contraction in the circulation—such a scarcity.. of money, as to materially reduce the pricei of land and the wages of labor. Then We shall have. reached the nzillenium • of Locofoco ism—FßEE-TRADE—LOW per for the PEOPLEand Si!Ear, for the OF FICE7IIO-LEIPS—LITTLE worm - and NO PAY ! One' lesson has not been enougha segoid may teach Wisdoin.". CONSUMPTION OF COTTON.—I - lon. 'Ab bot Lawrence, in his third letter on the Tar iff, contributes some interesting facts in ref erence .to the consumption of raw cotton in the U. States. Since 1816, a period of twenty-nine years, the amount consumed has increased from 11,000,000 to 176,300, 000 lbs.—more than sixteen fold. Du-, ring the same period the increase of con . sumption in Great Britain has been from 88,000,000 to 560,000,000 lbs.,,—less than seven fold. We manufacture more cot ton than France, and quite as much as 60,000,000 Germans. CARPET WEAVINCI.—CaPpeIs should be cheap in this country, for carpet weaving is industriously and profitably carried on in various parts of the Union. In Auburn, New York, the establishments give em ployment to 700 or 800 hands. One throws off 10,000 yards per month, and works up 300,000 lbs. of wool per annum. Between 2 and 300 men are employed in weaving Saxony carpets. BLOODY AND FATAL AFFRAY.—The Lex ington, . (Miss,) Advertiser gives an ac count, Of a dreadful affray at Richland, in Holmes county, on ,the 7th instant, be tween Richard Gage of that county, and Jacob Varnell and Lewis Alexander, of Rankin. > It appears that in the midst of a squabble about a horse race, Alexander knocked Gage down. Gage, rose, went into a house, and soon re-appeared with a double-barrel gun E hoth barrels of which he fired, the second wounding Alexander mor tally in - the thigh. Varna, at this time, came into the tight, and shot Gage through the shotilder, with a pistol. Alexander died in half an hour 'of the gunshot wound and Gage died the next Monday, the 9th, of the pistol shot. Varnell, the only sur vivor, has been arrested and committed for trial. • MELANCHOLY AFFAIR.—We learn from the Baltimore Sun that on Friday last, while an Examination was going on before a magistrate at Charlotte Hall, St. Mary's county, a difficulty arose between Mr. Blackstone, State Senator from St. Mary's county, and Geo. G. AShpomb, Esq., du ring which weapons were - drawn, While the parties were in this position, a young man, alawyer, - drew a pistol and "Stepping up•behind Mr. Ashcomb, fired a ball into his head. He was not dead at the last ac counts, but no hope was ascertained that ho could Surviie. We understand that Mr.. Blackatorie represented 'the interests . of. the family' of the young Mari who fired the pistol, in the case which was going on. These are all the particulars we could learn of this sad affair. • IfON.

Vera Cruz to the 15th ultimo, and from the city of Mexico to the 10th. The following, from the Times, appears to embrace the most important items It appears that on the 4th of March the Mexican Minister, Senor Castillo Lanzas, received a note froth Mr. Slidell, now at Jalapa, in which the lfruer requires peremp torily a dcf►nitive.answer to his demand to be recognized as Minister Plenipotentiary, not only to arrange the question of Texas, but to settle every other matter in dispute between the two countries, such as pay ment of the instalments due on the debt, and a satisfactory remuneration for the los ses sustained by our citizens by the delay in those payments. The supreme Gov; ernment immediately convoked the Coun cil, and submitted Mr. Slidell's note for their opinion. They advised the Govern ►nent not to receive Mr. Slidell, except as Envoy Extraordinary to settle the difficul ty about Texas, leaving all other affairs un attended to, until that shall have been ad justed. It was not known whether the Govern ment will conform to the wishes of the Council, but it is supposed it will, since the President and his Cabinet find in its favor not only the recorded opinions of the preceeding administration and the late Chambers, but:the whole of the Mexican press. On the other side, it is asserted in the Mexican prints that Mr. Slidell will not abate . ; one jot of his pretensions, and will quit the Republic immediately after the receipt of, Senor Lanzas's reply, if it be not perfectly satisfactory. Mr. Slidell re quires an answer. within eight days from the date of his letter. In La Hesperia of the 7th March, it is stated tliaLa party of the American ar my, consisting of 150 men men, had made their appearance near Matamoras, but re tired „after reconnoitering the ground.— This. Sudden visit. had • produced a- good deal of agitation among the Mexicans, in their cantonments. They were waiting for reinforcements, which had been des patched from Monterey and San Luis I'o tosi, to assume a respectable attitude on the banks of the Rio Bravo. The Esperanza, Tampico paper; states that Gen Mejia had avanced with 400 in fantry to attack the advanced guard cf the American army, -which had taken post at Santa Isabel. From a 'diligent examination of the pa pers which have reached us, we cannot help observing the remarkably: civil and pacific tone, of their papers, which dbntrast so strongly with the bravado and invective whice they exhibited some months ago. The discussions of the press turn chiefly on the monarchial projects recently sprung up, and though a majority seem adverse to assume a foreign yoke, there arc.not want ing open advocates' of the scheme, as a last resort from the evils of misrule and anarchy. The question has evidently be come one of serious debate, and some movement in behalf of the project is plain ly indicated and expected. STILL LATER-REJECTION OF MR. SLI • The U. S. Brig Somers ,arrived at Pen sacola on the 28th ult. from Vera Cruz, in eight day. A letter was said to have been received from the U. S. Legation stating that Mr. Slidell had demanded his pass ports, having been refused reception as minister, although the Mexican Cabinet expressed a perfect willingness to treat with a commissioner on the Texas ques- tion. He also wrote that Mr. Slidell would be in Vera Cruz in the course of a week, and would immediately take passage there- from for the U. States. On the 18th Corn. Conner received a letter from Mr. Black, our Consul in Mex ico. He appeared to be somewhat. exhili rated by the cheering Intelligence brought from England by the Cambria, which he had just received. He writes that if this news had been sooner received Mr. Slidell would-have been received, and throws out a suggestion that our Mission may be ac cepted at the latest moment. The people of Vera Cruz are awfully frightened, and are as will be seen by the newspapers, moving out of the city. The Mexican navy has been taken in tow of the steamers, • to a place of absolute safety, far up one of the neighboring rivers. The people of Vera Cruz,wish to see the ques tion between us settled, and having never been very warmly attached to the Revolu tionary government, threaten a pronuncia mento, unless their wishes are regarded. The British minister, writing to the English Commander on'the- station, says that he cannot persuade these people that England will not co-operate with them a gainst the U. States—they have the great est confidence that England is going to in terfere to prevent their being bullied by us, but he has unequivocally intimated that their hopes would not be realized. A letter to the Mobile Tribune says:— There was considerable excitement at Ve ra Cruz growing out of this movement, and the opinion prevailed that 4 our • squadron would open a fire-upon the place after Mr. Slidell took his departure. • -There-was-another- revolution-- a ntiti ted to take place in a Very few days. Gen. Ampudia's army, which had been ordered the frontier of Texas had revolted and a bout 1000 refused to march any further in that direction; and the remainder, about 2000, - not being very desirous to' prodeed themselves would not force the ''ethers; so they came to a halt. • DEATII BY POISON.-A. young lady about 17 yearsof age, named Elizabeth Smith, died from poison in Philadalphid;:on Sat urday, having atteinpted to drink; in niis fakcforA glass of wine; some oil of vitriol from a bottle which she found in a closet. vs DEATH OP A HARD DRINKER:—A 'man named Austin 'died lately lin Canada West, from intemperance. - It was stated on the inquest that he was in the habit of drinking Fatiout 30 &Awes ofspint per Aay ! RHODE ISLAND ELECTION The annual election in Rhode Island for the choice of, Governor, Lieutenant Gov: ernor, -and members of the Legislature, took place last Wednesday. • There were three candidates for Governor ; and the contest—which, as we believe, turned alto gether upon questions of State policy—lay between BYRON DIMAS, the candidate of the "Law and Order party." and HENRI, - JACKSON, the present Covernor, who was sustained by the "Liberation (Dorrite) par ty." Both these gentlemen are Whigs.— The third candidate was Edward Harris, brought out by the Abolitionists. The vote of the people for Governor is as follows : Dimas. Scatterin Providence co., :stir] 4800, 110 Newport co., . 1:111 , 3 'Washington co., 53 . .2 1030 41 939 672 521 209 Kent co., Bristol co., . From this table it will be seen that the votes thrown away by the Abolitionists have defeated an election of Governor by the people ; but, nevertheless, it is a source of gratification to know that the Law and Order party have secured a majority of al most two . to one in both branches of the Legislature, on whom will now devolve the duty of making a choice, when they shall assemble in the beginning of next month. This ensures the entire success of all the candidates of the Law and Order party for State offices. The Legislature will also have to elect a U. S. Senator. RECORDS OF DEEDS The following Act of Assembly, recently pass ed by our State Legislature, we publish for the in formation of those interested in its provisions: A FURTHER SUPPLEMENT TO EXISTING JAWS IN RELATION TO RECORDING OT DEEDS. SECTION 1.

[Approved March 14, 1846.] y JuOVE IN A KrrenEN.—On Monday night a singular affair took place at the house of Mrs. Cantrell, in the lowir part of the city. Mrs. C. having occasion to go down into the kitchen to look for some thing, opened a closet, when lo ! the fig ure of a young man, hidden therein, stood before her. She screamed, and help was procured and the interloper secured. ise was charged with attempting to steal, and Constable Towel was sent for to arrest him. He cried, and protested that he was innocent of any such attempt, but was marched off to the office of Alderman Don aldson.- On the hearing before a magistrate the truth at length carne out, when it prov ed that instead of having any felonious in tent, he was courting the kitchen maid, who hearing her mistress coming, popped him into the closet. He was discharged and the affair ended in a hearty laugh. Philadelphia paper. OUTRAGES RV THE PAWNEES.-A com pany of Mexican traders, consisting of Messrs. J. C. Armijo, A. Armijo, J. Mor ris, Lussard and Norris Colburn, from San to Fe, arrived at St. Louis on the 25th ult. after a tedious and. toilsome tramp. For two hundred miles they had to take it afoot, —being left mercilessly exposed on the plains by a robbery committed by some Pawnees. Nearly-all their mules were taken from them, and they were left to shift for themselves as best they could over the wild prairies, exposed to cold and piercing blasts of wintershelterless, pennylesss, or just the same as pennyless—although they had their means with them untouched. All was quiet in Santa Fe—for they had only heard of the revolutions below. AN EXTRAORDINARY YOUNG LADY.— We are scarcely surprised at any- thing now-a-days, much less to learn from the "Blue lien's Chickens," published at Wil mington, (Del.,) that Mr. Eli Foster, of that city, has a d4ughter about 17 years of age, between 3 and 4 feet in height, and in no wise, deformed except of diminutive Size, who can sit down and rise up with apparent case, without in the : slightest de gree bending the knee j9int.

The Annual Commencement of the Medical Department of Pennsylvania University took Place in Philadelphia on Friday last, in the pres ence of a very large and brilliant audience. The degree of M. D. was conferred upon one hundred and sixty-eight members of the graduating class. Among the names of the graduates, we observe 'that of CHARLES HonmEn, son of our esteemed 'townsman, Dr. D. Horner; as also. ALEXANDER 8; M'CLEAN, of Harrisburg, J. A. REIDENADR, of Lebanon, and J. B. E. ALIIRIGHT, of Berks coun ty—all formerly residents of this place. Dr. Chn sosr-delivered the Valedictory Address of the Fa culty to the graduates. The Revenue BM Passed. On Saturday last, the House of Representatives made a final disposition of the Revenue Bill after the adoption of a number of amendments. A mong others was one offered by Mr. Burrell, pro viding that if any person shall render an untrue statement of the amount of his taxable property to the assessor,.he shall forteit one half of the amount:tiaretUrno to the Commonwealth, and the other half to 'the inforMer. This amendment was agreed to by it'vote of 47 to 33. A provision ., was also inserted, increasing the tax on collateral inheritances from 2 1-2 to 5 per cent., and the bill' passed second and final reading with some further amendments.

It is thought the Bill undergo considerable mod ification in the Senate. Mr. Cooper. Every mail bring us some renewed evidence o the rapidly extending popularity of our distin guished felloW-citizen. Although we do not deem it worth while to republish all the numerous com plimentary notices of the Press of the State, yet it can scarcely be otherwise than gratifying to his many immediate friends occasionally to be inform ed of what is "thought and said" of him by their political brethren throughout the State. Among others, our respected neighbor of the York Advo cate has frankly avowed his decided preference for Mr. Cooren as the next Whig candidate for Gov ernor. The last Advocate copies the complimen : tary notice of the Pittsburg Commercial Journal , and adds : • "To say that Mr. COOPER is .the man above represented, and is capable of bring ing to his support more men than any oth er in the State, we 'verily believe. His name is sufficient in itself to strike terror into the hearts of his opponents. Here in York county we doubt whether he will have any opposition, as we claim him as much or nearly so as Adams_ . ; being of the same Congressional district : and it is no less our duty than our pleasure, to go for Cooper till the time. He has been com pared to "slim Jim Jones," of Tennessee; often, and we are satisfied that if an oppor-. tunity is given he will secure his election by his own personal popularity. He can elect himself and secure the triumph of Whig principle, while any other man must depend upon party drill alone, which, at this° time, is not able to acomplOh. much." The Richmond TragcdpwJustice Mocked Our readers will recollect the brutal tragedy which occurred at Richmond, Va., some weeks since, resulting in the death of the gifted PLEA -51-NTS. The Grand Jury had found true bills for murder against Tnomss Rrrcurs, jr. and the se; conds who participated in the savage duel. The tri al of Mr. Ritchie came off during last week, and the Jury, without _retiring, returned a verdict of not guilty! Virginia, we believe, has upon her statute books, severe penal laws against duelling, butt a jury of her, citizens has declared them ut terly nugatory in theii application to the most brutal and ferocious case of personal conflict that the Press of this country has been called upon to to record. It is needless to state that after such a mockery of law and justice, the prosecution against the abettors in the tragedy was abandoned. .Connterfater Arrested..

The discussion-upon the project fin:" the r6-es tablisliment of this measure—so odious to the peo ple' of the country, and so strongly condemned in the memorable. campaign of 1340—was brought to a close in the National House of Representa tives, on the' 2nd inst., in obedience to the man date of an arbitrary majority, which, in its eager ness to register the edicts of partizan leaders, hur riedly pressed the bill to a final reading, After the iitloption of a nnmber of amendments making the bill as stringent in its operations as possible, and rejecting all propositions tending to remove or palliate the objectionable features, the Bill was . PASSED by a vote of 123 to 671—the voice of Ad ams county, as expressed through her, representa tive, Mr. M'CiatAx, assisting to swell the vote for a measure against which a verdict of condemna tion bad been previously rendered by a• majority of 525 of her citizens. It is difficult to account for the determined hos tility of the party in power to the commercial and business interests of the country. t agarcely any thing short of infatuation upon the part of our Ru lers can furnish a satisfactory solution of the reck less policy in regard to the National finances so perseveringly and obstinately persisted in by the Administration. So palpable are the necessarily ruinous workings of this their seemingly favorite financial scheme—so manifest the impolicy, nay, the danger, of demanding the payment of Govern ment dues in gold and silver, withdrawing so large an amount of specie from the circulating medium of the country, and depositing it in the pockets of numberless Sub-treasury agents—so recent the frauds, peculations, and defalcations of Swartwout, Price, H arris, Boyd and other trusty agents under the former operations of this same scheme—so anti-republican the principles that would distinguish between the currency of the office holder and the private citizen, pouring into the purses of the one gold and silver and leaving to the other the blessings of a disordered, ruined paper currency—so fresh in the recollec tion of all the indignant verdict of condemnation pronounced by the people upon the. very same is sues and upon the bacjOvlio dared .s.thrid by 'Alien!. —so apparent, we say, are all these things, that nothing short of political infatuation can satisfac torily account for the obstinate adhesion of our rulers to a principle and a measure so 'fraught with evil, so subversive of the general good, and so utterly repugnant to the feelings of the People. The issue, however, has again been challenged, and with it weare willing: once more to go before the voters of the country. Let the Sub-treasury scheme be put into successful operation, with an early development of its legitimate consequences; let the principle of Protection be blotted from our Tariff policy—our ports thrown open for the re ceptlon of British goods, to glut our own markets, and silence the workshops of our mechanics; let the home - market of our farmers, found in the consumption, of mechanical industry, be broken up; and then, while a universal stagnation is set Cling down like a vast pall upon domestic com merce and industry, let the country be drained-of its specie to enrich the coffers of Foreign capital ists, and supply the cribs at which are fed the myriads of government officers and agents, giving to the people in exchange for the present excellent currency, a rotten, irredeemable, and worthless 'shin-plaster" currency—let these conditions, all of hem necessarily following in the wake of the measures now pressed by the dominant party, be brought about, and we shall have no fears as to the character of the verdict that may be rendered. A few years' experience nnder the happy milenium, promised upon the advent of Free-trade and Me talic Currency principles, will have sufficed to dis- sipate the prejudices andlalse theories of modem political empiricks. With a universal stagnation of business, national and individual bankruptcy, staring us in the face at home, and a heavy foreign debt incurred by importations of foreign goods, pressing down and crushing the little energy that might possibly still developo itself throughout the country—property sinking down in value to the specie basis, and the price of labor to that of the famishing millions of Europe—an injured and agrieved people will at last be brought to feel what they may have been slow inlearning ; and, though the judgement be tartly in its coming, as we have faith in the virtue, honesty and patriotism of our fellows, so do we believe that it will be rendered in tones such as shall doom the offenders and the offences against which it shall be pronounced, to a grave "so deep and profound that the hand of resurrection shall never find them." , IrrThe Richmond Whig, speaking of the Na- tional Administration, sayti that "from first to last, from the Alpha to the Otneia of this Oregon dispute, Mr. Polk has taught this nation a lesson which may yet need to be enforced by the scorpion lash of war, never to elevate an inferior man to a post of such transcendant importance as President of the United States." Connecticut Eleftion. U3Returns of the , late Electionfor State officers n Connecticut baye been received from all but 7 towns, which give BISSELL, the whig candidate for Governor, a majority of from 500 to 1000 over TorreEr, Locofoco. In conseque;4 of the large number of scattering votes,' however, there has been no election by the people, neither candidate having a majority of the whole vote. The elec tion of State officers will of course thus devolve upon the Legislature and the result be dependent upon the political character of that body. It is thought parties will be very nearly balanced in the Legislature. IrrA Convention in favor of granting the Right of Way to the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-road corn. pany was to be held in Allegheny city on the Sth inst. A great excitement upon the subject exists in the Western part of the State,especially against Philadelphia, in consequence of the opposition of the citizens oftho latter to the proposed measure. Some of the Pittsburg papers have gone so far as to urge uporithe merchants of that city to discard Philadelphia altogether, and deal with Baltiinore and New York !

D.,rofesssor of the Principles and Practice ofSurgery. 111:7 - We have been favored with a copy of the Address delivered by our respected fellow-citizen, Dr. Gun EMT, to the late Graduates of the Medical School over which, as one of the Professors, he presides. Whilst Dr. G. is known to most of his immediate friends merely as a successfulpritc titioner, as a writer he has long since acquired a favorable reputation among those of his own pro fession. , His contributions to Medical Journals have met with favorable receptions, and in some instances been transferred to the standard Works of the Profession in Eu'rope. But a few days since in one of our Book-stores, we chanced to look in to "Braithwaite's Retrospect of Medicine and Sur gery," a London periodical of the first order, and in glancing over its pages were pleased to observe several' interesting articles credited to the pen of our townsman. For several years, he has filled the chair of Professor of Surgery in the Medical Department of Pennsylvania College, having suc ceeded Dr. George M'Clellan. But to the Valedictory—a careful perusal of which fully justifies the favorable commendation bestowed upon it by the Philadelphia press. Easy and natural in style, practical and judicious in its counsels, and breathing an elevated tone of moral sentiment, the Address is peculiarly adapted to the end for which it was designed.- Professedly prac tical in its purposes, apd without any pretension to the ornate, it nevertheless abounds with beauti ful and eloquent passages. The sources of anxi ety to the young physician, about to enter upon the the arduous labors of his profeision, are successive ; ly adverted to and accompanied with such "words of counsel" as may have have a tendency to buoy up the desponding or open up the way to honors-• ble distinction to the less timid and more aspiring. A frank, open, manly policy—firm reliance upon professional attainments and character—a fixed de termination never to succumb to vice or error, no matter who may foster the wrong—constant dill .. gence study and practice-With a due sense of the eminently moral character of the physician's labors—these are warmly urged as the great es sentials, the sine qba non, to useful and honorable professional distinction. • We should be pleased to give our readers the benefit of several passages that We had marked— more especially those in which the author speaks as the Christian, and counsels a due regard for the moral, the religious- character of the PrOfession.-- Our limited space, however, will allow of but a single extract. After alluding to the spirit of skepticism, so common to.the medical profession during. the imperlberdevelopment of medical stir ence, Dr. Gilbert goes on to remark :. * * * But the times of this ignorance have passd away, anti the light of Heaven is now so clearly shed upon all the studies Of the physician, that there remains not a single dark nook or corner in which scep ticism may hide. The feiv points which then constituted the departments in the scientific world, widely separate in a vast ,unknown sea, have received numerous ad ditions since ; these have grown and spread and coalesced into one vast continent, em- Ibracing knowledge from the microscopic animalcule to the most exalted spiritual existence, to the exclusion of that ocean of. - ignorance and error, which so long kept moral and physical truth asunder. Instead of the obscure omnipotcncy of chance, we now, every where, discover evidences of a designing Deity; not less in the minute texture and delicate functions of animal and vegetable tissues, than in the magni tude, order and symmetry and movements of the heavenly bodies. Hence the stu dent of nature who doubts in the present day, is regarded either as very superficial in his attainments, or as under the influ ence of some one of the many forms of in tellectual obliquity. * * * * Man .then" having a soul of wonderful powers",`-with a corresponding destiny, sub ject to the moral government of the Crea tor, it follows: That he should recognize RELIGION as an all controlling principle and duty. ROBERT HALL, his clear and forcible style, has said, "Apart from the religious aspects of man, time' has. no importance, eternity no glory: man is a shadow, his very existence a riddle, and the stupendous creation around him, as in coherent and unmeaningas the leaves_which the sybil scatters to the wind." There is in the religion of the Bible, a most perfect adaptation to the nature and capacities, and immortal longings of the human soul. It is the fountain from which streams issue to purify the moral world; bearing upon their surface those unalterable principles ; of right, which give life and vigor to every useful institution of man. Let your life then, gentlemen, be devoted to its interests and consecrated by -its precepts. You will enjoy the greatest possible amount of happiness, become co-workers with those who exert a most salutary influence on the moral, social and civil interests of the world; an influence which, unseen and lent, is now preserving the peace Of nations. Each one of you may be the centre of thousands, for good or for evil, the whole amount of which cannot be developed this side of Eternity.. Be assured that "Chris tian is the highest style of man." This will qualify you for the active benevolence Which should characterize the good phy sician, make plain your duties and respon sibilities, fit you for every work in society Which promises to ameliorate the condition of man; and in your . profession, when ex perience fails and judgement is at hand, you can lift up the mind to its source, and there obtain the needed aid. When trials are to be endured, "His hand the good man fastens on the skies, And bids earth roll, nor fears her idle whirl." IL7The extensiye Tannery of Mr. Hamm.

Mr. Webterts Defence. • II:TOn Monday and Tuesday last Mr. Wensrsa occupied the floor of the Senate in defence of himself against the assaults so frequently made upon his course while Secretary of State, and es pecially in defence of the Tolley pursued by him in the negotiation of the Asburton treaty. He spoke for upwards of six hours. It is needless to , state that the speech is characterized by those who heard it as a most triumphant iffort, and utterly annihilating upon those against whom it was di rected. The Senate chamber was crowded to ex cess during its entire delivery, most of the mem bers of the House being in attendance. He', was bitterly severe upon his traducers, especially Upon Mr. Diextxsox, of the Senate, and CuATHas J. IN GERSOLL of the House, while reviewing the speech es in which those gentleman had charged want of judgement and patriotism upon • himself. Re ferring to the speech of Mr. Ingersoll, Mr. Web ster said that "hydrostatic pressure had not the power of compressing so many falsehoods in so brief a compass. It has been said when anything is wrong, that a "screw is loose," but with him the screws arc &Mote! There was in him a mor al obtuseness—a natural want of perception be tween right and wrong--such as seldoin fell to the lot of any man." _ After Mr. Webster had concluded, Mr. Dickin ion took the floor, and essayed a defence against the painful castigation indicted by Mr. W., but the blows had been too well plied by the stalwart hrm of the'New England giant, and the effects too well define-I and after a random, discursive speech of several hours, Mr. Dickenson retired from the conflict, no doubt well assured of the at ter (utility of attempting to "measure words" with his strong armed antagonist. 1117-The packet ship • horthumherland has ar rived at New York with European dates a few days later than by previous arrivals, but brings no intelligence of general interest.

Y.,) on Thursday week, and was literally jammed to . pieces. The ' body was whirled around with the wheel, and obstructed the motion of the mill. On going below to see the cause, the father . discovered a torn boot and a piece of cloth floating in the water below the wheel, which he immediately recognized to be those of his son, which gave him the first intimation of the appalling accident; The agonizing tones and movements of the fath er immediately brought assistance. The_ scalp was completely torn from hig head, and pieces were picked up in the water below the wheel ; his skull broken, and a few pieces, gone. Every large bone in his body was broken and shattered, and his flesh horribly torn. THE NEW YORK CHARTER ELECTION takes place on Monday next. The parties are all broken up, and there will be at least four candidates for the office of Mayor— two democrats, S. H. Mickle, and J. S.
