At the ballot boxes you have a remedy—see to. them. Point:Dar Aqministrgtion. That the present National Administration, says the Reading. Journal, is eminently pbpular with the masses of the people, is clearly shown by, the manifestagpns of esteem and regard that, have everywhere attended the progress of President Fillmore and Cabinet, in, their tour to, the north, Much of this is no derilt owing to! that broad spirit of patriotism that leads the citizen, at all dimes and upon all fitting occasions, to honor the constitutional authorities of his , country—a spirit at animates members of both 'parties, and has en exhibted, in a greater or: lens extent, ti war f every administration since the orglanization of the government. In the,present case, however; the demonstrations arc not confined to a mere for mai, show of respect. There is a heartiness in them dictated by feelings of genuine regard—an acknowledgement of the wise policy pursued, and a confidence, that should a crisis arise requiring , the exercise pf firm and decided measures on the part of the Executive departments—those who fill them will be found equal to the emergency. This it is that has rallied the people by hundreds and thousands at every point to unite in the ! expres. &ions of welcome. They,look upon the President and his Cabinet not so much as the exponents dt the Principles of a great party, as the rulers of a great nation=tas those to whom the destinies of 1 i the country have been committed at a most critical period in its history, and who have exercised the trust with becoming firmness, wisdom ar i l mode. ration. An administration devoted 'to tbb furthe. I ranee of mere partizan views, or bent upon carry. ing out ultra measures, could never haie elicited such general marks of approval. The platform of i the Constitution is one upon which .all .true pa.

At the angressional election in the 2d, 4th, and 7th Districts on Monday f a week, Robert Rantoul, Jr., Free Soil, was chosen in, the 2d by a large vote; in the 4th, Benjamin W. Thompson, Whig, is cho- sen ; in the 7th District, Col. John Z.

'We regard, says the 4ilas,the result of these elec. Lions as fraught with important consequences. They show ; in the first place, that the Whig party, in order to sustain itself in Massachusetts, and to win back the State to the old Whig fold, must re. ly solely upon its own intrinsic strength, and the purity and excellence of its principles. We must not rely upon assistance of any. deicription from the leaders of either of theopposing parties, They have become corrupted by their taste for office, and are willing to make any coalition, however unprin. cipled, is order to beat the Whigs, and carry the election. Election. of , Judges. Now, that the 'Judges•of our Courts have been i made, elective by the People of this. State, an, ad ditional responsibility will rest upon rare—the 'People. The Governor has been:relieved of that duty. and the citizens of the State will be called upon to diselprge it. The office \is; l ont of the most important charac ter, and t.tnles it. be. properly filled, the most deleterious etycts will be found to follow. There fore, in inch ihg selections for the' Nit, the utmost cantien and prudence should be obserVed by the people. None but the most experienced, ablest and utoral legal gentlemen should be selected to preside over our judicial affairs. This done, and the new law will answer the purposes intended by these who framed it. Nothing worse can be iodic. ted ,upon 'a community than incompetent Judges; and the evil retinits, which must inevitably follow, fully considered, will induce the citizens of this Commonwealth to. act • wisely,' judiciously. and With an-eye single to their dearest.fights, inina king Judicial nominations.. irnat oldest wOman-in the world is supposed to be one Mary &atop. now residing at Elton, in the county ,of Durham.

She is in pos session of all her faculties, perfect tnernoryi hear. ing, and eye.sight. 4 She cooks, washes, andirons, in the usual _family avocatiens, threads her needle and sews without spec,t4les. , • TbOlifepublic . of . the.NeW York:'Commcrci#l -- Advelti4r - ,vie find many interesting :het*, cot:teen:di* J. , lbctia, and ;the interior of Africai. - . ..Wl3:inako - room'tor 'the following, which pinsea*.alntere4li„ While such indefatigable exertions, are; made to open an intercourse with the far thest interior, of the continent, the colony of Liberia is ftit growing bite a populous and well - governed Christian state, becoming bright example_of the :benefit& of religion: and civilization,' which - must' necessarily have an immense inflbence upon.the minds of the.surroimding natives. It is to be)regretted .that the free colored men of this country are not more generally informed of the advanta,.ffes which coloniza tion offers to them individually,and the great work. it. must ultimately achieve in the ele vation of their race. • Every settler in - Liberia receives a grant or ten acres of ,good• land. He and his family are supported daring the first six .months in Africa. - The whole .e.tpense of the family is defrayed by the society. A temporary home can always be obtained now, on landing,;and markets furnish 'every convenience ? • These ten acres may be improved so as to become an independent fortune to any family. One acre will produce $3OO worth of indigo ; half nn acre will raise a thou- sand pounds of arrow root, five acre's will plant 1250 coffee trees, which at five years old will, for thirty years, bear six pounds to the tree, which is 8400 a year; and half an acre of cotton trees will stand many years without replanting, and yield every year enough to clothe a whole family ; one. acre or cane will furnish sugar and pre serves abundantly; one acre of fruit trees will give more banamas, plantain, oranges, pawpaws, and pine apples, than any family can cat ; and one acre in a garden will' give fresh vegetables, two crops in a year, directly Out of the ground , ten months in a year, sufficient for twenty persons ; • hogs, poultry, may be raised at pleasure. Here, then, is a family provided for, in the amplest manner, with moderate labor, and enjoying over and above their support, from six to seven hundred dollars a year. Schools of the best kind are provided for the children. Messurado county alone has twenty places of worship, six of them exclusiTely ;for naiiiies of the county, 18 schools, and 875 scholars. When a settler gets a little forward, he may begin to work on the luxuriant re ductions of the forest, and find the fullest employment and reward. He may cut camwood, make indigo, palm oils or caster oils, or .establish a manufactory of sugar or arrow root, or raise rice, ginger, corn, ca sada, hogs, &c., for sale. Where can the colored man do so Well ? Where have - so much personal enjoyment? Where so easily support himself and his family ? to say nothing of the independence and the happiness which must arise from being among a nation of his own color, and in the full enjoyment of a liberty and an equality which are impossible here. Our State Administration. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquires thus sketch some of the .features of-our State Administration, which have rendered Goy. John ston so popular *ith the mass of the people : Governor Johnston will probably be the candidate ,of the Il'hig party at the next -gubernatorial election—from present evi deuces he will be nominated by acclamation —the Whig press is largely in his favor, while the rocoßico organs are ominously' sileht. In this event, a brief recapitulation of the policy, of the present Executive will be right and proper. As a fit prelude, it may be worth mentioning that the present Democratic State Treasurer, Gen..Biekel, admits that , the Sinking Fund, as it ex ists under, the auspices of Governor John ston, will gradually liquidate and cancel the enormous; Slate debt. This fact alone should command the support of every right thinking roan in the Commonwealth. - More than half a million of the actual State debt has been paid during the present Administration, which, with the liberal ap propriations towards completing the North Branch Canal, and the improvement of the Columbia ,Railway, and the Schuylkill In clined Plane; will show a saving to the cof fers of the Treasury of neatly a million of dollars. • Governor Johnston is unalterably opposed to the creation of any new loans, and will note under any circumstances, put his name to L a paper that will increase the State debt.-to this ,he has pledged himself repeatedlyand this fact of itself has bound him with cords of adamant to the refe rences of the people. Every holder of Pennsylvania State stock is interested in the continuance .or his adminiStration, because that stock has been appreciated at par and above par, and its interest paid in gold and silver. The in terests of the rural districts ,and the cities are alike fostered from this fact. The payments are' punctual—the demands of foreign creditors are regularly satisfied— 'the credit of the commonwealth is restored —and the iLondon Club HouSes can no longer laugh at the witticisms of Sydney Smith, at onr ex-pense And this magical change basheen effected under the adminis tration of- ;WlLLien F.

It was interesting to•hearfrom the lips of an intelligent eye-witness the most ample confirmation of the published , statements relative to the condition and'ap; l pearance of this iniquitous establishment, The Holy Inquisition of, Rome is situated near Porto Cavalligeri, and under the very shadow of the sublime dome ol St., Peter's Cathedral, and capable in case of emer gency of accommodating three thousand prisoners. The Consul was particularly struck with the imposing dimensions of the Chamber of Archives, filled with volumi nous documents, records and papers. Here was piled all the proceedings and decision's of the holy office from the very birth, of the inquisition, including the correspondence with its collatteral branches in both hemi spheres., Upon the third floor, over a cer tain door, was an inscription to this effect— Speak to the first inquisitor. Over ano ther—Nobody enters this chamber except on pain of excommunication. They might as well. have placed over that door the well remembered inscription of Dante over the gates of Tartarus-=-oandon hope all you who enter here. That Chamber was the solemn hall of Judgment, or Dome room, where the fates of thousands have been sealed to death. Over the door opposite, another inscription read ,— Speak to the se cond Inquisitor. Upon the door of that department a trap door was exposed, from which the condemned, after they left the Hall of Judgment, stepped from time into eternity. " The well or pit beneath, had been built in the ordinary cylindrical form, and was lat least eighty feet deep, and so ingeniously provided -with projecting knives and cut lasses, that the bodies of the victims must have been dreadfully mangled in the de . scent. At the hotted) of this abyss qoatiti ties of hair and beds of mouldering hones remained. Not only at the bottom of the pit, but also in several of the lower charn •bers of the building were found human bones, In COMO places they appear to have been mortared into the walls. The usual instruments of torture in such establish ments were likewise manifest. The Consul presented me with a bone which he brought with him as a memorial of his visit. The Pope fled from Rome on the 24th of No vember, 1940, The Roman Republic was proclaimed on the 11th of February, 1849, • and immediately after its installation the -Assembly solemnly 'declared the abolish ment of the Holy Inquisition, and by a spe cial decree charged the Triumvirate with the duty of erecting a lofty column to commemorate the overthrow of one of the greatest evils that ever darkened the face of the, earth. But the scenes of this world change. On the Ist ofJuly,lB49, the Ro man Republic, after a brief existence of five months capitulated to the French, and in May, 1950, Pius IX, after and wile of one year and six months, returned to his capitol, proscribed the Triumvirate, and re: established the Inquisition in ail its former power." Mrs. Swisshelm on Slavecatching. Mrs. Swisshelm, who edits the Sciturday Visitor, says some very plain thing's on subjects she speaks upon. As a sample, we annex what she says of the slave catcher : • " We do not say one half that we feel we should say, if we were a man. If we were, and any fellow who has acted hound and aided in capturing a fugitive, should offer us any of _the courtesies _of life, pro , per between man and man, we would spit upon him. As it is, if one should enter the room we were in, it would require a strong muscular effort on our part to pre.. vent " Get out dog get out !" from esca ping from our lips. To us they ippear like' dogs, and nothing else. Their Nees and forms assume the outline end expres sion of a dog; Their whiskers look like smellers'i or feelers."

AboUt 'the. lime r,itie; ; murder, a,man -hy.the name,of Hand, liv._ 'ing near Blackbird, suddenly, and without riSsigning.anr . reason, left his home-and ,went-to New Jersey. A' feW days afterhig ., wife The. movements' 'Of these' • people were of course regarded is suspi cious; and efforts have. for -sometime past been made to obtain a knowledge of their whereabouts, A few days - t since Mrs. Hand was brought , to chestertown,,•and:mado statements to the following, effect.: - That on the' morning after the murder,. at a very early hour, a man by the naine of. Stephen Slinw; ; who boarded iri the house with herself and husband, came running in to the house, with. a musket in his hand, and very much under the infltitbnce of li- . quor—that he told her the Cosden rattily” were' , murdered, and. that himself, Taylor, Shelton and Murphy werethe parties—that he had been.solicited by Taylor to join the conspiracy, which he 'supposed was only for. plunder, and not for murder—that lie and Taylor proceeded, on the evening of the murder, to the Swantowarnill, (about a half a mile from Cosden's,) and were there joined by Shelton and MUrphy ; that he had ' a double-barrelled gulf; Taylor a muskef; Shelton a double-barrelled gun and double barrelled pistol, rind Murphy a double-bar reled gun. He then proceeded to.state that upon arriving at the house, Taylor fired through the window and shot down Cosden, and then, - snatching Shaw's gun, shot Mrs. Cosderi ' as she ran out. He also stated that Shelton murdered Miss Cosden, and Miss Webster, and Taylor shot the black woman,-but that Murphy took no part in the murder. He asserts that he himself - was drunk, and took no part in the murder, and that he was - afterwards so'overcome by liquor, that he felt in the fende corner and lay there for several hours. , Shaw %vas arrested on Saturday, and this morning has made a full confession, cor roborating all the statements made. by Mrs. Hand, saying " that he knoWs that Mrs. Hand's testimony will convict him, and that he may as well make a clean breast of it." He has been confronted with the, parties charged, and adheres, in their preSence, to all the particulars, as detailed by Mrs: Hand. Murphy, he says, he had never seen be fore, but believes the man he sees in jail its Murphy, to have been at - the murder. There is little or no doubt entertained of the truth of this confession. The cause 'of Mrs. Hand's sudden flight, was fear, that as she possessed Shaw's se cret; he might do her soine 'bodily harm, to prevent her divulging it. • Since the above letter came to hand, we hide conversed with a gentleman direct from Chestertown, who was present at the jail yesterday morning, when Shaw was confronted with the prisoners, and made his confession. He says he hewer saw a more hardened' set . of men - colleeted together. The excitement in Chestertiiwn Was intense, and great joy - was manifested by the people at the certainty of all the murderers being . in custody. Webster, the uncle of . Mrs. Cosden, is now ncicnowledged to be free of all participation in the bloody deed, and will be discharged in a few days. The priso ners are heavily chained together, and pre sent a most revolting spectacle. Their trial will take place next week. 'Baltimore Sun, MaY, Population of California. It -has been generally estimated, on this side of the continent That.the population‘of California would not exceed two hundred thousand, but the. following article, which_ we extract from the Sacramento Times, it appears that the population amounts to 314,000, of whom 100,000 were engaged , in mining during the past year.
