and newly married men, returned a verdict OF not
guilty, on Sunday morning II appeared that the
poor girl had Overland and smothered her offspring
during some visions of the night, and having nothing
TO enable her to bury 1t, laid II IN the water near the
margin OF the brook.
A frame book bindery, belonging to Mr.. Spris-
man, was destroyed by tire on Tuesday, and con
sierabe loss was sustained. There was a COM
position for rockets in the garrett and II Is supposed
it took fire from spontaneous combustion:
Harrsburgh is now the theatre OF one OF the great
est political movements that was ever known IN the
old Keystone. In every place of public resort no.
thing Is heard but debates and specuarons In re-
gard 10 the all absorbing question OF the Presidency
The late meeting OF the friends of General Cas- has
commenced a new era IN politics, and the general
favor with which his nomination is received by the
people, is astonishing. There appears TO be ma
gic in the very name OF that brave, talented, and
honest man, and all look upon him as the only man
living who can raise the country from its present
difficulties, and the nation from It's disgrace. There
IS determination among the people TO break loose
from the Jokes OF pocket partzans, and, by united
popular movement, TO raise up man TO the Chief
magstracy who Is above the narrow political
schemes Of the day, and who, looking to the honor
and fame OF the country and the good OF the mass,
will restore again TO our former greatness and
prosperity,
The paltry schemes Of designing politicians, to
trade off with each Other and for their own personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT the votes ofthe people of the States,
must be stopped, and that speedily. We have no
security against the dishonest and intriguing dema-
gogues OF the country until il Is done; and we be
lIeve the only course left the people, IS TO rise In
their majesty, aud shake oil these epers from the
body poc. The time has gone by when few
prominent men can control the votes or opinions OF
the mass, and the sooner the people throw OIL these
demagosues the better we want at the head OF
the nation man of tried honesty and courage
man OF high moral and political character, VINO,
like Romes last tribune, will raise the character OF
the nation, and the standing and honor OF the peo-
pe-the Atlas who lift the Union upon his strong
shoulders, and place 1t again before the world-a
beacon for the oppressed OF all nations, and the glory
OF Republican ms itutlons. That man is Gen
Lewis Cas-, and the mighty voice OF the yeomanry
have already said IL shall be so!
The appearance OF the New York Herald, con-
tanning the proceedings OF the Harrisburg Convention,
was hailed with enthusiastic demonstrations OF
| pleasure here. Five hundred copies could have
been sold In an hour, II the agent could have pro-
cured them AS 1t was, every copy was immediately
snached up, at any price. The publication OF the
raj of the eastern States, is hailed as sign OF the
times that cannot be mistaken. Already have more
than dozen newspapers in Pennsy lvania published
them, and numerous others promise them. Three
or iour have gwen notice that they Will raise the
Cass flag So goes the great Cas- ovement, and
SO will co. until the whole Union echoes the voice
Of Pennsy wanna.
There is an incident connected with the Cass
meeting here which deserves notice. The resolu-
| ton recommending Mr.. Buchanan tor the Senate
was offered by one OF that gentemans own paiticu-
lar friends, who intruded himself upon the conven
ZION to offer it. This may be considered as virtually
| dropping him for the Presidency. He probably
thinks half loaf better than none, and, doubt,
| this matter was understood before the resolution
was offered iii not, well may he excaim,
" save me from my irlends"
Great credit is awarded to Governor Porter for
the high stand he has taken in not interfering with
the presidential question. 1t Is matter In this
corrupt age find possessed OF the influence
| and popularity OF David r Porter, who has the
| honesty and magnanimity TO stand aloof from the
political movements of the people and he who does
is entitled the good wishes of the democracy, and
| he will receive them.
| Mr. Buchanan, finding that he will no be sus-
tanned his plan to have delegates elected at the
9Th of January convention-called by his dictation-
| has ordered il to be changed to mass meeting,
| merely to recommend him for the presidency. This
matter however, rather late tor in several coun-
ties meetings have been held and delegates appoint
| ed, and they have gone 80 tar they won't back out
The Van Buren, meeting lately held in Phlladel-
phs, has killed hint he was not already dead
in Pennsylvania No man of any influence had
anything TO do with il, and there was response IN
the country There doubt but that Gen Cass
is the choice ofPennsylvana, and of the Union and
| he will be nominated and elected by the same po-
tent power that placed in the presidential chair Gen.
/ jackson and Gen Harrison.
