To the Public.

We would again call the attention of the public
TO the advertisement Of Mr.. FOOT, on the subject
of Daguerreotype likenesses. The same opportu-
nifty for families and individuals, to supply them
selves with their own and their friends lkenesses,
which is now held out to them. may not be re-
peated for long time. And as Mr. FOOT, will
remain in Stroudsburg but few days longer, now
is the time for persons desirous of engaging his
services, to call. We can, from our own knowl-
edge and observation, recommend Mr.. F. as an
able and skilful artist, and we hope liberal en-
couragement will be extended to him by our cti-
zenS.

The Apportionment Bill.

An apportionment Bill, for Members of Con-
gress, has at last been agreed upon by The Legis-
lature, and our District remains the same as it
was under the old law. The Governor, has not
yet signed il, and some of the knowing ones de-
clare that he will not If this should be the case,
the Extra Session will have been much acorse than
useless The Bill gives the locos l3 members
certain, the Wings 9, and 2 remain Doubtful
More than the Locos deserve, or are entitled to
and yet the Veto King will probably strangle it in
its birth. The uncertainty occasioned by the
Governors not signing it, is greatly distressing to
certain politicians in the State who are interested
in its becoming law.

SENATE.--The morning business in the Sc
nate was OF but little importance.
The resolution Of Mr.. Preston on the subject
of paying Indian annuities from the land re-
ceipts, was the matter of an unexpected morn
ing debate. The subject was temporarily post
poned until tomorrow, and the Revenue bill
considered few moments before one o'clock
The long winded speeches were left for the day,
and the attention of the Senate given TO the bill
in detail. The first item referred to the article
of cotton bagging, and gave rise 10 most spir-
tied contest.
The debate was commenced by Mr.. Crilien-
den of Kentucky, who made a brief and very
able speech upon the pending amendment,
which was TO reduce the duty on cotton bag
ging TO 3 l2 per cent. from 5, as proposed by
the House of Representatives This amend
ment was defended in reply by Mr.. Calhoun,
who thought that an enormous duty was paid or
cotton bagglng, and TO exceed 20 per cent.
Mr.. Walker went on to prove that gunny
bags paid duty Of $50 per cent The two
Senator'S maintained these two positions with
great earneslness, bui were replied TO by Mr..
Simmons and Mr.. Evans, who proved that
these estimates were cxravagant al the rate of
ten 10 one in the greater duty named on gunny
bags.
Mr. Evans showed that the duty was nothing
like this, and showed lha, it was no higher than
the average duties upon other articles.
Mr. Culhbert, of Georgia, addressed the Sc
nate at some length upon more general matters,
and for the purpose of proving that the produ-
GERS paid all the dalies, and in order TO show
that the bill was no, revenue measure but one
Of high protection.
This item has been debated through the day,
and was not closed when the Senate adjourned.
HousE.--Mr. Fillmore called up the Navy
Bill from The Senate, and moved Committee
of Conference. A debate arose which was con-
qnued al some length

The labours of lord Ashburton and the Ameri-
can Commissioners, have been brought to close,
and a settlement of the Right of Search, and the
North Eastern Boundary questions agreed upon.
Before this settlement becomes binding it will be
necessary for the Governments Of the U. States
and Great Britain to give it their sanctions. The
full particulars of the treaty have not yet been
made known, so that the people can Judge of their
propriety. Several editors however, have taken
the responsibility of condemnng the treaty before
hand without knowing whether it is good or bad.
This is, to say the least of it, unwise and impol-
tic. The subject is grave and serious one, and
every thing connected with it, deserves careful
and thorough examination before either our ap.
proval or disapprobation is bestowed upon it,

Taxatfon!!!

Previous to the adjournment of the Legislature,
law was passed laying an additional tax upon
our citizens, to that already imposed. for State
purposes. We have not yet seen the provisions
of the Act, and cannot therefore speak positively
of its effect and bearing upon the people;--but
we have heard il said that none Of the money is to
be applied paying the interest our State Debt
If this is the fact we are unable to see the
sity Of the tax.-The people are already too heav-
ily taxed, and il remains to be seen what effect
this new imposition viii have upon them.

FOR THE JEFFERsoNIAN REPUBLICAN.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Observing by the communi-
cations that have from time 10 time appeared in
your paper, that you are the advocate of Re-
trenchment and Reform in our county finances,
hereby take this opportunity, TO urge upon my
fellow citizens, the importance of electing such
officers to fill the station of County Commits
sioner and Auditor, offices of vast importance
TO the tax payers of Monroe.
am aware of the movements of certain pa
tent Democrats, (of grab game memory in get
ting up an excitement in regard 10 the Sheriff
atty, but would caution my fellow citizens TO
be on their guard.
In my humble opinion, either Of the candi-
dates are suitable persons for that Office, and
am fully persuaded, that every citizen of our
county has seen the folly of electing incompe-
tent and injudicious officers to any station in
our county, however unimportant
Monroe is yet in her infancy, and with pru-
dent management, she may yet be redeemed
from the disgrace which will unavoidably be at
iached TO her, if certain grab game faction
should get the control of our county funds. In
proof of which, you have only 10 turn TO the
statements of John Merwine and other Tax
Payers, who showed up the patent democracy
in all their naked deformity some months back.
With best respects, | am truly yours.
A TRUE JEFFERSON1AN.

GREAT WESTERN ARRIVED.
Six DAYS Later.

The swift sailing steamship Great Western,
arrived at New York on Saturday morning,
with six days later intelligence from Europe.
We have by the Great Western, files of Bris-
tol papers TO the 10th Of July. The most in
teresting news recorded, is the sudden death of
the Due D'Orleans, the Prince Royal
The official account published by the Gov
ernmen Is as follows
"a dreadful disaster has fallen upon the
King the Royal family and France. The
Prince Royal is dead. This morning, at half
past ten, the Duke of Orleans went 10 Neuily,
10 take leave of the royal family, intending TO
sci off in the evening for the camp of ST. Omer.
A short distance from Neuilly the horses ran
away. The Prince leaped out ofthe carriage.
He was taken up senseless. One moment there
were hopes of saving him, but the evil was be-
yond all earthly remedies. At half past four,
after having received the succors of religion,
the Prince breaihed his last, surrounded by the
King, Queen and royal family, whose grief no
words can express"
The late Prince had testified the greatest
pleasure at his intended voyage, for which
great preparations had been made in the various
towns through which he had 10 pass He was
TO have taken the command Of camp of 10000
men--but who can calculate on the morrow.
The Due D'Orleans has son four years old,
who according to the succession is now heir
apparent This leaves just apprehension that
France may have regency, as the King is now
50 years old.

Morals of Parties.

"1he Democratic party IN eUery State as op-
posed to repudiation
So says the Pennsylvania Of yesterday
We are rejoiced 10 hear the news. But like
other good news. so called, it is too good 10 be
true. Bul if we cannot seriously credit the an
nouncement, we may at least indulge our organ
of wonder in marvelling at the boldness OF the
authority which makes it. Why, If "ihe Dem
ocratic party in every State is opposed 10 repu-
diation,' whence has arisen the present univer-
sal familiarity with the doctrine, and whence
its partial practice! We had nerer heard of
Reputation four years ago. Ii belonged alone
10 The history of European governments. Amer.
lea knew il not. The States had never dream
ed oft Who then started the doctrine1 Who
has reduced it to actual operation! To The
morals and actions of what party are we in
debied for this indellbe stain upon the nation
al honor!
The answers 10 these questions cannot be
eyaded. Who was Governor McNutt? What
majority in the Legislature of Mississippi sus-
tanned his messages and letters repudialing the
debts of that State? And what party in the
Stale has countenanced that executive and leg
islatiye fraud! The democratic party" is re-
sponsible for it, and none olher. The Wings
there and every where raised their voices, with
oui single exception, against the perhdlous
act, and neither themselves nor their special
representatives have ever entertained for mo-
menl the nefarous propositions Of their poli-
cal opponents, to blot out by mere breath the
most solemn public obligations.
While on this point, it is quite in place, TO
remark that the same moral obiquty, apparent
in conspicuous portion ofihe self styled dem
ocra,ic party, and which had led 10 the repudi-
alton of State debts has been equally proved in
various other events Of the last len years
While The Wings have consistently, and through
every turn Of fortune adhered 10 the principles
which governed them prior to the election OF
Andrew Jackson 10 the Presidency. their oppo-
nens with facility worthy of feudal serls. have
followed the biddins OF their leaders to any

Congress.

Although the weather is very hot, and the ther-
mometor ranges from IS TO 100 degrees at Wash
ington, yet both houses Of Congress are as busy
as bees, aud work from 10 to 16 hours day. A
great many local bills of great importance to the
country have been acted upon, and all the remain
ing questions of general interest are in fair way
to be soon disposed of The Tariff Bill is still
before the Senate, but we expect will soon pass
that body. 1t becomes more certain every day,
that Captain Tyler will veto it. Well if he does
let him answer it to the country Congress does
its duty faithfully, and if one man takes the re-
sponsiblity of frustrating all its labors the people
must hold that one man responsible

Adjournment of the Legislature.

Let the people shout for joy, that they are freed
from the most imbecile, inefficient, tmeserving
and vacillating Legislature, that ever fastened
upon Pennsylvania or disgraced any State. Both
Houses adjourned sine de- on Tuesday evening
the Goth u, after sitting in all about FIVE months
and taxing the people about t,oo hundred thousand
dollars for their services.
They commenced their labours with strong
demonstrations of patriotism, and solemnly ex-
pressed their resolves to stand up for Pennsylva-
MIA, and sustain her in her efforts to maintain her
honor and integrity. They passed Resolutions in
favor Of keeping the faith of the State involate,
and denounced reputation as the worst of nation
al sins. They also resolved to introduce sys-
TEN of economy into all the branches of the gov
ernment, and to retrench their own superfluous
expenditures. This was good beginning, and
elected the praise and admiration of nearly every
press in the Commonwealth The people thought
a brighter day was beginning to dawn on their
blighted prospects, and looked to the Legislature
for the consummation Of much good But they
looked for uirtue, where there none. In a
short time all their excited visions of returning
prosperity were dissolved, and they were doomed
to witness acts and deeds not only unbecoming
men of sense and decencv, but such as make the
patriot hide his head for very shame
1t is unnecessary for US, at present, to recount
their misdeeds, and repeat their promises broken
and pledges violated. They are fresh in the minds
of all our readers and will remain there treasured
up as wrath against the day of reckoning in Octo-
ber. 1t is impossible that the people can forget
how basely they were deceived in every reasona-
bic expectation, by their Representatives. How
the State has been disgraced by their trucking
legislation, and how our public faith and honesty
has been sacrificed to crafty their own selfish
ends! We wait anxiously for the lime when an
injured and insulted people will have the opportu-
nifty of speaking through the ballot-boxes, and in
their strength and majesty condemning the mean
serrile course pursued by the late Legislature.

point, and for any purpose. There is no issue
now established between the two great parties
of the country, which the democratic parry
has not advocated or approved both sides. That
party has been for and against National Bank;
for and agains, State Banks; for and against a
Tariff; for and against Nullifcalon; for and
against Sub Treasury; for and against Dis
tribulion of the Land Fund; for and against one
term for the Presidency; for and against the
Limitation of Executive power; for and against
many other matters of principle or expedience.
1t is true that the degree Of favor or opposition
10 any Of these projects or doctrines has been
more or less palpable or general, according 10
circumstances,--bu it is equally true that the
democratic party" has al some period not very
remote, stood the friends and the adversares of
every leading suggestion of national policy.
From a force so well disciplined, it is by no
means wonderful that Governor McNuit should
readily have filled his "repudaton" ranks with
in his own borders, and that other States should
have afforded ample bands of recruits. FOL
low your leader" is their maxim, and with sig
nal fidelity have they acted upon it. No Swiss
guard was ever more faithful to lis paymaster.
But the Wings present a very different front,
ever the same, and their strength ever exert
ed in the same cause. The objects which they
now avow are in all respects identical with
those which they prolessed in 1880. Through
defeat and triumph and disappointment they
have. never deviated from their purposes. They
have been plain bold and consistent. The
Democrats were prepared for "repudaton" by
the whole tenor Of their course under Jackson
and Van Buren,. The doctrine was national
consequence of the usurpations Of those two IL
lusirious democrats. Hence The political NOR
ais of their party were established, "a disgrace
to republcanism and curse TO the country.
Many adhere TO the code through profound ig
norance and prejudice. Some adhere 10 the
speculative tenets of the party, while they hon.
estly abhor its abuses. Sill taken as party,
it contrasts in every sense most unfavorable
with the mass ofthe Wing party, which, whe,h-
er its theories be right or wrong has maintained
lis own honor and contended for the welfare
and good faith Of the nation.
