To this cud she should threw off her trammels, that their weight may not be upon those who sock her protec tion.

Vet on Pennsylva nia's public improvements thousands of em. ployee* have wrecked their characters; aud hundreds of her most promising sons have had sad and real reason to curse the day they ever learned that Pennsylvania had a line of railroad or canal on which to seduce to crime. Under the necessarily loose and irresponsible mode] of transacting business upon these works, this evil has been, and is being done. While the works remaiu iu her hands, they will be the homes of partisans and swindlers who will ruin themselves, dis* grnco the State, ami spread a moral desola tion among the people. Change of admin istration will not cure the evil. It is inhe rent in the thing, and will be manifested while human nature remains as prone to evil as at present. Thus, the pecuniary in terests of the State, the business prosperity of the people, the high destiny whieh our Commonwealth should fulfil, aud moral good of all, are bound up in the proposition for a divorce of the State and her public im provements. With these considerations iu the one scale, and the paltry objections in the other, what intelligent conscientious, true Peuusylvauian dare be even neutral much less hostile to this great measure of 1 relief? I hope few will be found truthless, when the CMC is fairly presented. ADAMS. ' THE liOKO STREET MYSTERY. MUB. CUNNINGHAM AJIKKSTKD. STHAIStik rusrr.ost'ttr?. from the .V. York papers, 4/A in el.

Shortly after this interview with Dr. L'hl the trial of Mrs. , L'uuniugham came on,and after her acquit- j '.alalia sent for Dr. Uhi on different oee_. sious, and wished him to prescribe for her, and at the same time she, requested that he j should attend upon btr during her approach ing Ci.nfinciDOnt.with a child which she said was Dr. llau vy lJurdell'jS.

At lier request,' Dr. Uhl engaged two physicians fo aid him in the dellcuto matter, but front her move- ! ments, whbH were very mysterious, Dr. Uhl suspected that something was wrong.

The District Attorney then laid down the following plan of action: Dr. Ofil should concoct a story of a "California i wriiow" (one of his patients.) who was about ; 10 become a mother, aud who, to conceal Iter shame, would gladly part with her child. This cliilJ was to be taken to Koine place I till. lilu* street w l.'-'i o Mrs. _ Cunningham .could procure it.
