that it will fully answer every purpose
for which it is intended. That patriotic

in American art, industry, and ingenuity,
under the fostering care of a Protective

consecutive years, has, by home Competi- •

importance—the necessity of providing the town
with an abundant supply of good water, we trust,,
will , induce prompt action on the part of those
interested, so that the Company may proceed at
once, to carry out the purposes of its incorpora
tion.
Backed Out
11:7"The Lancaster papers state that the applica
tion of the Odd Fellow's Lodge of that city to the.
Court for a charter, of which legal notice had been
giveti, and against which remonstrances had been
filed, was withdrawn at the late term of the Court.
Mutiny In the temp.
U 7 A right bold spirit of iiisubordination is
beginning to manifest itself in the camp of our po
litical opponents, which bids fair to tell well upon
the result of the coming fall election Ihrougliout
the State. Nor is the disaffection confined to the
rank and file of the "party." It , hie' reached. old
audwell recog,ntrat leaders-me:lto whom the faith
ful have been accustomed, in years "pasf, to look
for every successive watch-word, which it became
convenient for the "Progressive Democracy" to
adopt. Nor has the. Editorial Corps entirely es
caped the infection. The Lycoming Gazette and
_Sunbury 4mo-icon, bold old and long established
Locofoco papers,.are free arid loud in their denun
ciations of the State Administration and its-can
didate for the office of Canal Commissioner—Mr
FOSTER. A lite number of the Lycoming Gaiette
bitterly complains of the corrupt and proscriptive
policy of Gov. Saturn'and the officers whom he
has gathered around him, and thus expresses itself
upon the subject of the next Gubernatorial nomi
nation :
"The democrat's who rallied round the
lamented Muhlenborg, will as one man ral
ly in opposition to the unholy. persecution
and prosecution now • waged against them.
From one end of Pennsylvania.to the oth
er they go for A NEW MAN. In old
Berks the same system has been purined,
and we are credibly informed that the State
Administration has scarcely the shadow of
a party to sustain it in that County. Here,
in Lycoming, We boldly assert, and we
pledge our life upon the result, that out of
4,600
. votes, F. R. Shunk could not to
morrow poll 700 votes—he Will not only
be beaten, :but beaten • disgracefully if he
should again be a candidate." .
The Gazzette then turns to the Locofoco can
didate for Canal Commissioner, Mr. Foster, and
after denouncing the corrupt means employed to
secure, that gentleman's nomination, says:
"To secure the re-nomination of Shunk
it was necessary to ,renominate his friend
Foster—and to .ac,omplish this the whole
atronage of the,C,anal Comissioners was
. own into the market,and virtuallyOff:er;
patronage
lo the highest, bidder—whilelhose in o 1
fie© wore put ppon their good.behavtor,
If a circular had been, issued by the lipoid
directing their subordinates to procure del
egates favorable, to. Foster's election, or in
case of defeat, to prepare to "walk the
plank," the wishes' of the Canalceontmis
sioners could not have been better under
stood. “Bargain.and Sale" was stamp
ped upon the very face of the transaction
—andalthough it enabled the State Adminr
istration to consummate their wicked
sehernes, r.it is still Jo - coked upon by every
honorable map, as establishing a precedent
alike dangerous and disgraceful.'
The same spirit of disaffection developer itself in
various 'parts of the; State , and augers but poorly
for the prospects of Locoiocoism. • The Whigs of
the state haie but .to go-to work and do their do

03 ; Not aratistied with the unenviable. notoriety
'acquired by C. S. Ingersoll through big malicious
iind' Micalied for attack Upon. Mr. .Webiter, and
:the awful "scadying primes!'" inflicted by the
latter in reply, the would-be Tory on Monday
last again made his appearance in the House a
greeably to a notice which he had published in the
Union; and re-allirmed all his charges against
Mr. W. Mr. Ingersoll had carefully written out
his statement, and HEAD it to the House,. lie
charged: Ist, that Mr. Webster had made an un
lawftil use of the public money while Secretary of
State ; 2d, that he had applied the same to cor
rupt parti;ran purposes; 3d, that lie left the depart
ment a defaulter in the sum 0f12,290: kr. Inger
soll attempted to sustain his charges by citations
from the secret papers of the 'State Department,
the very papers which the President had declined
transmitting to the House itself, and to which, by
some means Or other ; he had obtained access.
After Mr. Ingersoll had finished his statement,
'Mr: ASII3IIIN, of Massachusetts, asked leave to ad
dress die HousO in reply. Objection being made
the Rules were suspended by'a vote of 165 to 22,
when Mr. Ashiimn took the floor and spoke for
some time in a most bitter and stinging review of
Mr. Ingersoll and his remarks. When allegations
like those just read in the hearing of the House
were preferred against u man who stood before
the country as Mr. Webster does, it was lighten('
proper to inquire into the source of the charges,
and this Mr. Ashmun proposed to do. He would
show to the House and the country who and what
the witness was. • •
He alluded in term of withering rebuke to the
unmanly manner in which Mr: Ingersoll had ob
tained access to the secret archives oft* State De
partinent, and informed himself of these 6.1141ged
facts—by which he had gotten IrOld of papers
which the President himself had informed the
House in a solemn message -were. held under the
seal of secrecy - and could not be obtained.
Mr: Ashmun continued in a strain of bitter de
nunciation that excited an intense sensation in the
House, and made poor Charly writhe in his. seat.
~ lie reviewed the. course. of Ne:lntersoll hs' a pUli
lie man reflecting upon his meatiness of spirit hitil
malignancy oT heart, upon his notoriety for un
truthfulness, and his never ending propensity to
slander and malign, without cause, better men
than himself, from the time, thirty years ago, when
he maligned on . the Boor of the House, Mr. STOCK
TON, a member from Now Jersey, and received
from that gentleman the memorable,- withering,
scathing and blasting rebuke that sent the calum
tiiator out Qf the lialri'ciying like a whipped
school-boy, and which learnt him such a • lessOn
that he had 'lever dared since to assail a matt to
his face !
Mr. Ashmun Ras frequently interrupted in the
course of his speech. by Mr. Ingersoll and his
friends, and the LIE repeatedly given. He, how
ever manfully braved it out, and closed with the
follo•ving remarks :
The gentleman had again come before
the House with a written communica
tion, • which would probably -receive due
ndtice elsewhere. Mr. A. had done all
that he undertook to do. He had done
what he believed to be his duty in the case.
He had held up the slander and the slan
derer to public. disgust and contempt: He
knew indeed, until human nature should
be changed, that there would be some dis
posed to uphold the gentleman from Penn
sylvania ; yet he had confidence that all
honorable and upright men would do full
justice in the case, and would fix on the our
thor of foul slanders like these, a sentence
of condemnation • and reprobation which
would stand unrevoked and unrevokable
until repentance,-long, deep, and sincere,
should claim mercy for the offender.
Corn mitteso of Investigation•
113'On Monday, in the House, immediately af
ter the debate between Mr. Ingersoll and Mr.
Ashman, Mr. Scuzi , rdic, of Ohio, moved a long
resolution authorizing the appointment of a Com
mittee to inquire how Mr. Ingersoll had obtained
the information in regard to the secret service mo
ney of the Government, and how the seal of confi
dence, imposed by •law and heretofore uniformly
preserved, had come to be broken, and what pun
ishment was due to the offence if committed by a
member of thellouse—said Committee to have
power to send for persons and papers;
Mr. Pettit moved an additional resolution au
thorising the .appointmer,t of another Committee
to inquire into the truth of the charges preferred
against Mr. Webster, with a view to founding an
impeachment against the latter.
Both resolutions were adopted, and on the fol
lowing day the Speaker appointed Messrs. Schenck,
Dobbin, Stanton, M'llvaine and Rockwell to con
stitute the Committee under Mr. Schenck's reso
lution, and Mesirs. Pettit, Vinton, Davis, King,

I ELTThe following from the report of
),
the speech of Mr. Aistixtcx, in replz_to , C. J. In
gersoll, on Monday last, in the Ifouseovill give,
some idea of the temper of the parties interested.
Mr. A. is replying to the charge of nialadminie
ration preferred against Mr. Webster while Sec.
ret ary of State :-
1 Mr. WEBSTER, when Secretary of State
had written a letter marked "priVate,!' and!
despatched it by express to the Governor
of New York, with a view to interfere with
the administration of justice in that State .
Ile had also paid the sum of $5,000 as a
fee to the District Attorney of New York,
in the case of McLeod. These were spe
cific charges, and they were all false—ut
terly false. It was true that a private let,
I to 'had. been written-to the Governor of the
!State of New York, but it was not true that
this was an attempt to interfere with the
course of justice or the courts of law in
that State. Nor had it been sent by ex
press. Why, then, did the gentleman say
so?
Mfr. Isannsom.. Did I say so ?
Mr. Asnmvx. You did. Presuming
that there might be some such want of re
collection on the part of the gentkeman,
Mr. A. had referred to the report of his
speech in the Union, in which the expres
sion would be found. He presumed the
reporter had told the truth.
?Ir. IsoEnsou. was here understood to
say that the report in the Union was not
correct ; that he did not remember using
any such expression.
Mr. ASIIMUN. Was it to be supposed
that the reporters of the Union, the gentle
man's own paper, would falsify his own
words ? • Mr. A. had heard. it. All the
House had heard it. Yet the gentleman,
with the most childlike simplicity; could
look that House in the face and say that he
had never known his character for truth to
be questioned ! Did not the gentleman
state that Mr. Webster had paid a fee of
$5,000 to the District Attorney of New
York, and was not that false? -
Mr. INGERSOLL. No—it is true.
Mr. MIME:V. True ? There is not
one word of truth in it. If the gentleman
thought to bolster up the charge by such
sort of proofs as he had brOught here this
morning, he would find that, instead of es
tablishing, he had completely disproved it.
[Here some confusion arose, and
Mr. INomisou. made some• remark not
heard by the Reporter. Some gentlemen
remonstrated against interruption.)
Mr. A. said he did not fear the effect of
these interruptions. . The gentleman had
said that Mr. Webster had given 85;000 to
the District Attorney of,New York in the
case of McLeod. He would appeal to ev
ery man in . the House whether this was
not the fact
Mr. INGERSOLL. I did. not say it had
been paid'by the Administration.
Mr. ASIIMCN.. I did 'not appeal to you.
I appealed to every hones t - man in the
House. I ask. every gentleman - of honor
and-veracity here, whether 'the gentleman
did not so express hirntielf as to be under
stood as saying this ?
* * * *
Now, it was by such a person and under
such.circumstances that these charges a
gainst such a man as Daniel Webster had
been brought; and charges of peculation,
toecharges of the misuse of public mon
ey, and of being turned out of of office and
found a defaulter ! What proof, or shad
ow of proof, had been adduced of the chief
charge of all, viz. that Mr. Webster had
applied the public . money for his private
use? Mr. 'Webster had pronounced the
charge utterly false. Mr. A. repeated that
assertion. The charge was Salse, and had
not a particle of testimony to support it.—
The gentleman wanted the House to be
lieve, on his account of documents in the
Department of State, which nobody had a
right to see, that Mr. Webster had taken
possession of the secret service fund. Now
this was simply impossible: it not only
was not true, but . could not be true . That
fund could be touched only under certifi
cate from the President of the U. States.
There had been a little by-play - between
the gentleman from Virginia (Mr..BAYmi)
and the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr.
Isomnsou..) This was all easily under
stood. • Mr. Tyler, as Mr. A. understood,
was now ready to say that not a dollar of
this money had been expended under his
direction. lie kneiv that endeavors had
been made— • •
Mr. INGERSOLL ! By me ?
Mr. ASIDIUN. Invidious efforts had
been made to indtice Mr. Tyler to take

Mr. lINGItRSOLL. By me?
Mr. ASUMUN. Yes, by you.

reply Mr. Webster briefly remarked upon the
attacks which had been made upon his integrity.
Such things were far from pleasant, though he had
never feared that any thing could be brought a

Virginia Election.
I[l7 - The returns of the late election in Virginia
are coming in slowly. Although but little' inter
est:seems to have been attached to the contest,
enough is known to show that if the Whigs had
put forth their energies, the Legislature would
have been Whig: The nett Whig gain thus far
is nine members, equivalent to IS votes i but :A
the l.ocofoco majority in the list Legislature was
36 on joint ballot, it is scarcely to be hoped that suf
ficient gains wilt be secured in the remaining
counties to overcome this. .
11:TA Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Courier says that the notice as it passed. is con
sidered by Mr. Packenham to be of a very pacific
character. It is thought that it will lead to a re
newal of negotiations of an amicable kind, and
thus to a final and satisfactory adjustment of the
difficulty. It is also said that the President and
a majority of his Cabinet are reported to be wil
ling to arrange the matter. on the basis heretofore
offered, although Mr. Buchanan is understood-to.
be opposed to compromise.

There is very little news of importance

COMPLIMENT TO MII. WEBSTEN.—TIIC
`Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Courier
writes as follows:
A tine tribute of respect and confidence
was paid to Mr. Webster on last (Tues
day) evening. The whole : body of NV hig
members of both Houses, by a sort of con
sentaneous impulse, determined in the
course of the morning that they would in
mass make a visit that evening to Mr. lir .
and he was accordingly requested to re
main at home and receive his friends. He
did so ; and the electing was quite a mem
orable one. On one side the most unques
tionable manifestations of admiration and
regard, on the other a decorous but not con
cealed sense of gratification at such an un
usual but most signifiCant proof of undi
minished confidence—and, as it may be
safely added—of-unanimous scorn of the
paltry but malicious attempt made on' the
floor of the House to stain his character
in the Management _of the secret service
fend. llis associates in Congress, espe
cially the members of the House of Rep
resentatives, were the more earliest thus
to testify their feelings, because of the
course ,adopted by the majority of the
House, of cutting off by the previous ques
tion the opportunity of expressing • their
feelings in debate, after the reception of the
President's message declining to answer
the call of the House for the secret papers,
and after Mr. Ingersoll's reiteration. of his
charges.
Mn. C. J. IsoEnsoi.L.—We had forgot-.
ten until the tact had been recalled to our
,memory by the 'Washington correspondent
,-/ of the New York Commercial, that Mr.
I Ingersoll,. the defatner of Mr. 'Webster,
some years ago, in a like spirit of wanton
ness, charged the late Chief Justice Mar-.
shall, than whom a purer man never breath
ed, with havingheen corruptly -influenced
in his celebrated decision in favor of the
constitutionality of the U. States Bank—a
charge which, like those recently made aL
gaittst Mr Webster, recoiled upon him who
made it., His appetite for slander must be
insatiate. But, henceforward, his poison
ed arrows will prove innocuous, except to
himself.

of May.
The Washington correspondent of the
Johnstown Gazette, says it has been pretty
well established that the brave old fellow
will be our next candidate for President,
and recommends.neigbor Canan to "hang
out the }lag."
We have long been an ardent admirer
and friend of Gen. Scott; and it is with no
small degree of pleasure that we notice the
many indications of the growing favor with
which he is regarded by, his fellow citi
zens. Ere long all eyes will be 'turned to
him as the People's Champion in the war
against LOcefocoism—and a Champion he
will be. We'll sing the Locos

John N. Miller, 'Frederick, Md.
THE• Subscriber has lust received a
fresh.supply of this valuable.Medi-`
cino, which has acquired a celebrity which
few others ever received in so short a time
as a few years. The sale of ,which has
constantly increased, and will continue as
its merits are made known.
This celebrated Balsam of health is a
medic* of vegetable compopnd, warrant
ed a safe and effectual remedy, not only
for dyspepsia, butfor • the whole train of
diseases resulting from a connection mith
a disordered condition of the' stomach and
liver; or derangement of, the .digestive func
tions..
As a' fatnily medicine it stands unrivalled
and should be possessed4by , all heads of
families, particularly by those that are. sub-'
ject to a constipation of the bowels. .It
operates as a gentle apperient, giving a
tone and action to the whole system. , This
Balsam of Health does not contain a parti
cle of Mercury, but is composed altogether
of vegetable matter, which renders it perfect
ly harmless and can be taken at all times,
'and is no hindrance to business. nor any
customary habits.. _
The proprietor could give a great num
ber of certificates of cures performed by
the medicine, but he deems it unnecessary,
as they can see them attached to each di.
rections by applying to his authorised
agents in every place where it is advertised
and sold.
