'lltE NEW LICENSE LAW.
On the fourth ; age of oitr paper we pub
lish tile new license law, in full, and we
wish our traders to examine it carefully for
themselves. It will !"• reeelleeted that
last summer the l.oi ofoees threw all the
blame "I the late Jug Law on the American
party, when we showed from the record--,
that to the Loeofoco party itself, in the
Senate, was the hlatue of i.s passage 13 ho
laid, as more of that party voted i r it that:
<i the Americans. Y.-t, with the aid of
the greatest exertions, and the most, notori
ous lies, by such papers as the Bedford Ca
ztttr, the Locofocos carried tiie House of
Representatives by a large majority, and
the Scuate also by a decided majority.—
They promised th people that they would
repeal the .log Law the first thing they did,
and return to the old lieens-e laws. How
have they fulfilled their promises? They
were three months engaged in repealing the
Jug Law, aud have substituted this mon
strous bill, which nearly all admit is much
worse aud more string?ut in its provisions
than tiie Jug Law. It only allows about
one-half as many taverns as the ncee-.ity
of the public demands, and the jicrsons ta
king out-licenses under its odd. us provis
ions in this llorongh iiav.- to ] y FOl 11
TIMES the amount as usual fur the . li
censes, and in other parts of the County
TW ICE as mneh. Indeed.. wo have heard
many of this el a sof our ettison. ••■ay they
would not take <• tt license at ail, under
'.i.is Locofuco law. wore the\ mat in self to
l.'iicc con.pi died to do so, on account of a
few others taking on. lte-n under its un
just provisions.
The ptxiple will certainly now see what
reliance to place on LoeoL-eo nrot.ii res, and
not again he iteeeivsi hv tlnni. Tin y !iad
tin- majority in the Bonale ami House to un
conditionally repeal that law, but every Ln
eofi .'O that voted in tlm Senate, voted for
this new abomtnati.m, as also nearly every
one in the Hon-,. Y\ e ask the holiest peo
ple how they like the new Loeofoco Liquor
Law? If you don't like it, you have Loco
foeoism to thank for it.

The Ila rri.sbure I man raves greatly on
account of Gov. Pollock's veto of the Prin

his veto message, that tue average cost for

der the old iaw. In the twelve years tin
der the present hill Pennsylvania has saved
altogether §i-141,3f8 60—nearly half a
mill ion ! Yet the Union would like to have
the new hill fastened on the people in order
that it might, by its provisions, filch from
the Treasury of the State hundreds of thou
sands of dollars—and because Gov. Pol
lock. true to hit? oath of office, ami true to
bis known care over tbe interests of the
people, vetoed ibis monstrosity, which would
enable this Ifarrisburg bloodsucker to be
elected State printer, and charge the Stale
what it pleased, is attempting to blacken
tbe character of the Governor, by gross
personal attacks, which show as plainly as
words can express thein, the personal dis
/'point mm lit feels at being thwarted in
it- i fforts to dig deep into the public Treas
ury.
Pollock deerres woll of the tax

over toe;! interests. The .-landers of in
terested plunderers will Irvc, r.c.o'bor effect
upon liim iban to place him still stronger

Mr. Editor : —What is called the appro
priation bili has pissed the Senate vs ith
amendments, after having passed the House
early last week. It contain* the usual
, heavy appropriations of hundreds of thou
■ sands of dollars for the Suite canals and
railroads, no doubt to be squandered as
usual among political favorites; and to be
followed by similar appropriations next year,
and every year, so long as the State owns a
. canal or a railroad, it is amazing with what
tenacity the powers that be hold on to these
public works, which are tbe sinkhole into
which the revenues of the State arc annu
' ally buried, at the rate of half a million or
more. Knowing tiio political complexion
of the legislature, aud their views upon this
subject, the minority made no serious ef
fort this session, to pass any law for the
sale of what are called the Mate improve
ments. The minority could not carry
through rny such project, and the majority
would not. Recently however,those friend
ly to getting rid of the main line were
cheered with a prospect of succcs-; but
that prospect has again been dashed to
pieces by tbe majority. The Union Canal
Company offered IO lease the main line from
j Columbia west, for twenty years, to be ter-
I initiated sooner on notice, on being permit
j ted to set apart a certain part of tbe reve
: nues anuuaily for the widening ami dcejr
: ening or the canal and keeping L in good
. repair, aud dividing the remuiuiug proceeds
; equally between the company aud the State.
! Ihe I nion Canal, extending us it does
I from Mid.,l etown in this eonuty (wliere it
j connects with the tnaiu line) to i'hiladcl-
I phia, it would of course L>e the interest of
, the company to keep the whole line open
ami in goon order, so as to make a good
feeder for the cauai they new own; and thus
that part ot the State along the line of the
improvement would have been accommoda
te'! as heretofore. At the same time the
i State vvoulu have been relieved froiu the
j great cost of keeping up ibis most expeii
: stvc and unprofitable portion of her public
I works. The Columbia road, the Delaware
j Division, aud the North Hi aiieh, cacti pav
; soiiietiiiiig: but this niaiu line from Uoluiu
j bia west, so iar icom laying anything, ab
; sorbs anuuaily from one haudrcd thousand
to three hundred thousand dollars over and
above all receipts. This can be dernoii
struieu by the official reports for many years
past: and yet the present legislature I ns re
tused to make the proposed lease, atid thus
get rid of this enormous expense to the tax
payers of toe State. The canal commis
sioners exerted themselves to defeat the
bili uuthotizmg the lease, and by invoking
| party prejudices they succeeded, and the
| biil was defeated in the House by some
! three or four majority.
Besides the usual items in the approprta
• f'f" bill, there are- some items decidedly
i new and unusual. Among the latter is otic
i creating a new office on tiie public works,
eaiied a .State Engineer, to be appointed
jby the canal commissioners. a t tt „ annual
1 salary of three thousand dollars pcraunum.
! It bad hitherto beec supposed that our pub
■ lie works were overstocked with officials,
whose pay consumed the re venues,and who-0
rascality was a reproach to the Kiate .hits
economical democratic legislator ■ ver,
has discovered that a new and higii ried
officer is wanted in addition to all ottiers,
1 and tuey have therefore very kindly snp
| plied the omission, and appropriated ttie
ijdUUt. l to pay him annually, for an nidufi
! nitc series of years.
Another new fealure m this bill coirei. ts
in the fact that it increases the annual sata
! riesof the judges of the Supreme Court
: eight hundred dollars each; and the annual
i salaries of all the President Judges of the
! State four hundred dollars each. It i
hoped the taxpayers of tne Stat ■ will he able
to appreciate the liberality of tbis ecouomi
cal and democratic legislature, and that
tuey will especially remember them about
i the second 1 uesday of October next. The
1 .-.alary of the Chief .justice of the .Supreme
Court is now three thousand tiro hundred
dollars per annual ,besides three dollars per
' ' I, "J tor every day spent ill the discharge of
. !.is official duties. Ihe salaries of the
President Judges out of the cities of i'ldl
adciphia and Pittsburg, are by this bill
raised tip to fu'o thousand dollars jar an
nual, besides milage, aim five dollars per
day when holding special court.-: and in
tue cities named the annual salaries arc
raised to twcihj-Jivc hundred dollars. For
want or room 1 will give you no more ilgin
i from this beautiful bnl fur the present, but
will drop the subject, with the remark that
I by putting these handsome particulars in
the appropriation bili. the Governor lias
been previ uted from vetoing them, because
; a veto of this bill would put a dead lock ou
the whole machinery of government,aud in
juto the credit ot tbe Mt^ K u a,most us Lad

WALKER'S ITUKILAMATH>N.
Ou the lib of March, Gen. Walker is
sued the following proclamation in answer
to the above:
To the people of Central .im'-riea
luvi.ed to Nicaragua by the Democratic
party ot the Republic, the American force
under my command has steadily struggled
to carry out the principles for which the
Revolution of 1841 was undertaken, la
order, however, lo consolidate a general
peace, we were willing to bury past differ
ences ami endeavor to amalgamate the two
parties into otic. For this purpose wd>bav ( ,
since the treaty of October last, held in
check our old friends Urn Democrats, and
Lave attempted to conciliate tho men for
merly attached to the Government of Es
trada.
M ith the same view, the Provisional Gov
ernment of Nicaragua, although differing in
deas aud piinciples from the Governments
uf tlie other btatcs ot Central Ame**iea at—
I tempted to establish frank and friendly re
lations with the neighboring Republics.
Our overtures of peace have been rejected.
Our propositions of friendship have nut on
ly been disregarded, but treated with scorn,
ami uisdain. Contempt and contumely
have been returned for the amicable messa
ges we sent to the other Governments.—
Ihe only reason given for niioh conduct is
the presence of Amerieau forces in the State
of Nicaragua.
The legitimist Party of Nicaragua has re
pulsed our ...Torts at conciliation. They
have maintained communication with ttieir
ii'ilow scrviles in other Stales They have,
by all mcios in tie ir power, attempted to
weaken die present Provisional Government,
and have given aid atiu encouragement to
the eucrni s of Nicaragua outside of the re-
' public.
In this condition of affaire, nofning isleft
; for the Americans in Nicaragua but hostili
ty to the servitcs throughout Central Auic>-
, iea. A very large proportion of the so cal
led Legitimists of this State arc either open
ior secret enemies to our prcseuoc <> this
soil. They owe us for the protection they
have had for their lives and property; they
have paid us wit h ingratitude and treachery.
Against the servile parties and servile
Governments in Central A titer iea, tho Amer
icans in Nicaragua arc bound by the com
mon law of .self protection, to eternal eumi
iy. Our proffered friendship has been re
jected. We can only make them feel that
our enmity may be us dangerous and de
structive as our friendship is faithful and
true.
The Troops of the Army of the Republic
will assume and wear the Red Ribbon.
By command of
WILLIAM WALKER,
General Commatiding-in-Chief.
Ph. K. Thompson, Adjutant General Ni
! oaragnao Army.
The above was issued immediately after
i the return of Col. Sclile.ssingor and Capt.
•Sutter front their unsuccessful mission to
' Costa lliea. The same evening, on parade,
! the red badge was issued to each man in
:I • .
the garrison, which was the occasion of
boisterous demonstrations on the part of
many, who, tired of (lie monotony of camp
life in peace, sigh for the ever changing
; campaign life in the tented field. On the
12th there was a false alarm of an attack
on the garrison at Granadt,und ontlieeven
j ing of the same day three persons were ar

government.

were expected to advance.

LETTER FROM A SON OF HENRY
CLAY.
Thomas 11. Clay, Esq., who was a Rele
gate to the American Notional Convention,
has addressed a letter to the Councils
of the Eighth Congressional District of
Kentucky, giving tbeui an account <>f the
proceedings of the Convention. As out
readers are already acquainted with all that
transpired in the Convention, we omit the
greater part of Mr. ("lay's letter, copying
only the closing paragraphs, in which he
speaks of the eandblates, and expresses hi>
opinion as to the course his illustrious fa
ther would pursue in the present crisis if
he were now living:
"Mr. Fillmore's best eulogy is to be
found in tho successful and prosperous ad
ministration of the General Government in
the two and a half years immediately suc
ceeding tho death of Gon. Taylor. That
Administration had my father's unqualified
approval.
T have frequently been asked, what, in
my opinion, would have been my father's
course in regard to the American party had
ite lived? 1 answer unhesitatingly: he was
national and conservative, and I have no
more doubt but that he would have stood
on this platform than I have of my own ex
istence.
One word as to our candidate for the
Vice Presidency. I have known him for
more than thirty years, and 1 believe hint to
be an honorable patriotic gentleman.
It. was our wish, in obedience to instruc
tions, t.a have postponed the nominations
until June: but the majority of the Con- j
vent ion wore averse to such postponement*
Brothers of the American l'artv ! Is
there a man among jott who is not satisfied
with the nominations of Fillmore and Rou
elson? The national and conservative men
throughout the Union will be with its. IVY ,
have now standard bearers worthy of our i
cause. Our bnnner floats high and proud-j
ly to the breeze, and by the aid of the God
of our fathers we must and will succeed.
With great respect,
I ant your ob't servant,
THOMAS 11. CLAY.
I AN n VI.ISM.— Some eighty years ago,
Gincrul Washington, in company with Col. i
Cunningham, visited the Passaic Falls, at
P.iterson, N, J., and while there carved '
their unmet* < n a rock, which has since been
known as "Initial llock." The Intelligen
cer says that during 80 years the spot lias

for her ticiirt-ry, and that all Paris was of
fering to Heaven the most anient wishes in

courage redouble at tlie idea that she Was
the object of such universal sympathy.—
Finally, on Sunday* morning, a few minute

it was deemed advisable to call in the prin

It appears that the sight of so many person.,
produced an effect upon the Empress which
suspended fur ajmoment the operations of
