LYCOUING CCiUNTY, Nov. 22, 1858
.TwO ,TVishmen were drowned last everting
in the ffitiriiibliann!., opposite Linden, and the
town in conseqatince : liss keen an unusually
excited state, that only Mla its parallel on
election day, Christmas, or some such extra
ordinary! occasion. Their names were, Mi
chael Welsh and John Corey, the former a
sin , * man, and the latter with a - family resid
ing in Pottsville. These two, with another
man named Neal Coil, were working for Wm.
S. Bennett, - upon section 47 of the Sunbury
and Erie'Railroad, and during the day visited
Linden, where •they indulged ton - freelrin rot
gut whiskey. fa the evening they attempted
to cross!the river, when the two first named
were drowned, but Coil was saved, almost
perished with cold. An inquest was held be
fore R. :S. , Miller, Esq., and a verdict in ao
cord:nice with the above facts found.
Senator Douglas.
The editor of the Jersey Shore Vedette Says
that "Douglas is .a had in tn; he is the anther
of all the difficulties that.have beset this goy
ernment in regard to the slavery question for
the le.st six years." Ratblsome talk for a
homely man. Judging from 'a speech made
by the editor of the Vedette at Milesbnrg, a
few weeks since, there is no dagger that he
will ever perpetrate any mischief, it is very
strange that the Republican editors in Penn
s'ylvania have not discovered that Scaator
Doughts' course was ratified In all their tri
nraphst and that the positions ho has taken
were.used to strengthen their orgauirmion,--r:
Wherein Douglas is a!had man, we /me yet
to learn, excep% that be is st ; bad man to meet
in debate, when the ConStitution and Unioq
are in danger. ilovrOer, one thing is certain,
Stephen A. Douglas is to-day the most popu
lar statesman in the Uulon..—Bellefonte Oen

•
Tho Press is an tndependent, and ably
edited paper. We always read it with
greet, pleasure, and have no doubt it is
doiug a good work." But its devotion to
Bonglas goes farther than is consistent
with its position.lLl reference to the Il
linois senator, the I Press, is simply a par
dam:ll paper, and overlooks all his faults
which are more numerous than those-of
almost any other statesman. 3fr. Doug

him and his position : - I
"From this summary Of the principis.;s
' enounced in jpiige Douglas's exposition of
his opinions it is obvious that, whatever his
aberration in respect to past issues, ho is
sound op the philosophy of negro slavery, and
is correct in i t.is view of the relations between
the States and the Federal Government, lie
pay mph defy his enemies to exhibit anoth
er Nortiterk man with a , profession of 'faith
more acceptable to the South." •
Senator DOuglas "is a badman to meet
in debate," because he is unfair and un
manly, resorting to misrepresentations of
Vis opponents, rather than to arguments
lc support of his own' position.. Hence
his speeches on the stump do not instruct
and elevate the people, but only make
them blind and bitter partisans And
hence he is popular in Rgypt, and where
ever else bigotry prevails. But ho is not
popular with the well informed
i and well
disposed part of the population of the,
United States. 'Wherever the free school
is well established in Illinois, there Ste
phen A. Douglas was badly beaten in the"
late contest; and the popular vote of the:
entire State is from four to five thousand
against him.
A Wall from the Eighteenth
Century.
In 1791, Thos. Jefferson wrote a fol
lows to Colonerinnes; of Virginia :
" I wish you would come forward to
the federal Legbdature and give your a's'-
sistance on a larger scale than that on
which you are acting at present. lam
satisfied you could render essential ser
vice; and I have such confidence in the
purity of your republicanism, that I know
your efforts would go in a right direction.
Zeal and talents added to the'republican
scale will do no harm in Congress. it
fortunate that our first executive magis
trate is purely and zealously republican.
We cannot expect all his successors to be
so, and therefore should avail ourselves of
the present day to establish principles and
examples Which may fence u:= against fu
ture heresies preached now, to be practic
ed hereafter."
[Randair s l Zife of lefferson,Toi. 2, Chap. 1.
There are three points in the above
which we desire to notice, and which we
have FA in italics.
1. Jefferson, at that day, saw the great
necessity for zeal and talent in the law
framing department of our government.
George Washington was then President,
and Mr. Jefferson was his Seeretary of
State; and;.the schismatioal aspirations of
Hamilton Were just beginning to 'develop
themselves in' his bold and daring news,
paper attacks on the American constitu
tions. Hamilton advocated a government,
equivalent in its operations to a constitu
tional monarchy; and his opinions were
finding much favor among Wealthy mer
chants and other " natural aristocrats,"—
even to the extent which for a time gave
the President considerable anxiety for the
safety of our government from the vibra
tions of the internal warfare-then going on
among the members of the Cabinet, in re
gard ta porta') important international
principles under dismission, - Indeed, Jef
ferson 'feared a wane in the republican
cause—similar to that of the present day,
and differing only in the fact that he was
looking forward to after contingencies,
while the republicans of to-day are com
bating against the realization of the, con
tingennies then foreseen, He desired that
the great slttglitiea aqd ueoe.ssaay allies of
such a cause, - sa4l and talent, should be
brought to bear upe4 it. And we only
neap this point pargcularly -now, to ask
if the cause of Freedom to-day commands
sufficient "zeal sac} talents" to make per
manent the success to which it Las just
attained? Do we net lack, to a consider
able extent, the excipplification and influ
ence of these qualities by the general
oliereeter and °millet of -our representa
tives In Congress 7 Do we not command
wore zeal (for office) than relative talent,
or ace versa.? We, will permit our read
ers to enpply their nwu answers and pro
ceed
2. To consider whllt principles Wash
ington must have possesie4 to be
.a tePob•
Wan of Jefferson's standard. Jefferson's
fi bill of rights" secured in the constitu
tion o freedom of religion, freedom of the
press, freedom from standing armies, trial
by jury, and a eonstant habeas eprpue act."
To which we may append his opinion, (as
indicated by his letters on the cnbject,)
that slavery was sectional find freedom
national., In all these positionr, Wash
ington-and Jefferson coincided in opinion
in eeneral terms ; and dins they veils both
republicans, having in view " the greatest
good to the greatest number." flew far
the principles entertained and I advocated
by the republicans of 1791 differed from
those entertained and advocated by the
republicans of 1858, we 'will leave to the
judgment of all unprejudiced ind unpar
ty4ed , Aria

Washington and iefferson abhorred the
then regarded ,", necessary evil" of slavery;

as much as any republican . of the present
day can • but' that-Its evils and cense

the, necessity : of an agitation Of its moral'
and political inconsistenoies as a means of
its eradication, as a national curse, so ap
parent : else their zeal to that effect would
no ,dnubt have 'been proportionately op- I
parent. Therefore, We are free to declare
that the republicans 'of to-day—who add
vocate the-non-extension of slavery a Into
the territories, the aholition of inter-state
slaveitratEd.and the abolition of slavery
in this Districtiof Columbia or other nad
tional territory Under the immediate con
trol Of
. Congress,—are only working to
earryi out the great and good principles oft
Washington and Jefferson, and are the
heirs] and successors in the principles of
those great patriots, The sense of the .
American people then endorsed those
principles in tipte of.the efforts of Ham-
Han and others:, and but recently, after
three-quarters of a century of experienoe
''with them, the Amerioim people have
again endorsed thorn, in.sPite of govern
mental patronage and subserviency.
8. And in regard to our third point of ,
observation we would- ask, Is it not possi
ble 'that Thomas Jefferson foresaw the
prascet degradation of our government-1
the administration of James Buchanan ? '
Can it be possible' that he foresaw the
contingency that the" natural aristocrats"
would reign over a free people iu the
seventh or eighth decade of their governd
merit ?- Did he conceive that the consti
tutional Monarchists would be maginified
by 46 ciernooratio progression" into absolute
monarehists ? Did his great mind in that
thought foreshadow a now almost realized
fear that subserviency and dougbfaeeisua
would preponderate in the national coun
cil; and that the national ermine would
bo suborned to monarchism ? Verily, we
are ineltned to think that Washington's
first contra diit inct successor now occupies
the White (louse—that for the first time'
in the annals of our govartunent its cruel
friends may well feel anxious for the sta
bility of a republioan twin of government
and that zeal and talents" on the repub
lican side of our national Legislature are
now more thin ever requisite to the pres
ervation of our constitution anclgood gdw.
ernment. And hence, we argue that
when men of talent and firmness of prin
oinle are once elected to Congress by re- •
publicans, they should be continued there
so lung as they are capable and willing
to stand by their c onstituents in principle
and action. The changing of representa
tives in Congress every term, or even after
two terms, to aoeonunodate the aspirations
of " teething" politicians, in our opinion,
sacrifices much of the talent, if not also
much of the zeal of our national law-mak
ers. Statesmanship must, be learned as
all other trades, and should command pat
ronage according to its worth, not-accord
ing to its political preferment.

We are under obligations to the pub

on looking it through we, heartily endorse
the following opitilno of Robert Morris,
Esq., the Edits* Of tits Pennsylvania In
quirer :
"This is a tale of social and domestic life
'n Sweden, and it is in the best style of its
charming authoress. Miss tinnier is a great
famite in this country. Her works ale' fa
miliar s household words.' T. B. Peterson
& Brothers have issued the only authorized
American gdition, and they have given it iri
a manner_overy WV creditable to their estab
lishment, We are sure that every lover of N . '
pure and healthy literature will welcome this
translation by Mary Howitt, of this last story
of the gentle and amiable Swedish authoress.
The* purity of the writings of Miss Bremer;
their sympathetic :power. and the excellent
morals which she ever inculcates, renders her
novels welcome to the family circle. They
teach patience, affection and endurance in
such a manner as \ to improve and gratify every
mind. This story is her best, and possesses
deep and touching interest, the incidents are
natural, the characters are distinctly marked,
and the moral is all that could be desired, and
proceeds with a mild and artistic delineation
'to the denouement. The style is glowing, the
sentiments arc pure, and the Four Sisters may
be read with.pleasnre as well as profit by all
classes of society. We especially recommend
it as a story which it will do any one good to
read. This edition is authorized hyMiss Bre
mer, and it contains a dedication by herself
to the memory of her friend, the late A. J.
Downing. The price of it is but $1.25, and
Copies of it will be sent, free of postage to any
one, by the publishers, T. B. Peterson & Bro.,

which the human systeni is liable, is caused
by impure humors. This being caused by the
niore.rapid action of the blood struggling with
nature, in endeavoring-to cast out of the; body
the corrppt matter which is deadly opposed to
health. Hence the good and 'bad humors are
at war with each other; and the commotion
which follows causes fever and heat. The
symptoms of fever are various; causing heavi
ness, languid, difficult liCeathing, eyes dull and
heavy, anxiety, sighing and yawning. alternate
fits of heat and cold. After which the patient
complains of pains.in the head dud back, great
thirst, nausea and sickness, a fullness about ]
