T- A small building occupied by poor
drunkard, was burnt at Somerset, n. y, on
Sunday morning, and the inmate, who had
been for some time in state of dellrlum
trenens, persisted in the flames. 1t would
seem that he was partially sensible when
the fire commenced, as he was found several
feet from his bed, where be had evidently
been trying TO get out; but unfortunately, he
went in wrong direction. His Itch was
found in his pocket in good state OF pres
ervation, only little discolored by the heat.
He had some money in his pocket, and a
check for 200 dollars, which he had recently
received from Ireland, where his wife and
some Of his children are. A married daugh-
ter left this town few days ago for Easton,

TO The conclusion of Mr.. Glars speech

at Lexington, is as follows:-
But forbear; will no longer trespass
upon yonr patience, or further tax my own
voice, impaired by speech of more than
three hours duration, which professional
duty required me to make only few days
ago. IL have been at all successful in the
exposition of the views and opinions which
| entertain, have shown
LIST. That the present war was brought
about by the annexation of Texas, and the
subsequent order of the President, without
the previous consent and authority of Con-
gress.
Cd. That the President, being unenlight-
ened and uninstructed, by any public declar-
alton of Congress, as to objects for which il
ought to be prosecuted, in the conduct of it,
is, necessarily, left to his own sense of what
the national interests and honor may re-
quire.
Sd. That the whole war-making power OF
the nation, as to motives, causes, and objects,
is confided by the Constitution to the discre-
ton and judgment of Congress.
4th. That il is, therefore, the right of Con-
gress, at the commencement or during the
progress of any war, to declare for what
object and purposes the war ought to be
waged and prosecuted.
9th. That it is the right and duty of Con-
gress to announce to the nation for what OBJ
Iiects the present war shall be longer contin-
ued; that it is the duty of the President, in
the exercise of his official functions, to con-
form to and carry out this declared will of
Congress, by the exercise, if necessary, of
all the high powers with which he is clothed;
and that, if he fail or refuse to do so, il be-
comes the imperative duty of Congress to
arrest the further progress of the war by the
most efiectual means in its power.
Let Congress announce to the nation the
objects for which this war shall be further
protracted, and public suspense and public
inquietude will no longer remain. If it is
to be war of conquest of all or any part of
Mexico, let the people know it, and they will
no longer be agitated by dark and uncer-
tain future. But, although might have
forborne TO express any opinion whatever as
to purpose and objects for which the war
should be continued, | have not thought
proper to conceal my opinions, whether
worth any thing or not, from the public ex-
animation. Accordingly, have stated
9th. That it seems to me that II is the du-
" of our country, as well on the score of
moderation and magnanimity, as with the
view of avoiding discord and discomfort at
home, to abstain from seeking to conquer
and annex to the United States, Mexico, or
any part of it; and, especially, TO disabuse
the public mind, in any quarter of the Union,
of the impression, if it any where exists
that desire for such conquest is cherish
ed for the purpose of propagating and ex-
tending slavery.

in the City of Mexico, the g North Ameri-
can" of that city says:-
YANKEE DooDLE.-The fine orchestra at
tached to the National Theatre, on Thurs
day night treated the audience with Yankee
Doodle. II was admirably executed, but one
could hear but little of the music, for the
cheering fairly made the huge walls tremble.
One year ago, but few of US here anticipated
hearing Yankee Doodle in the grand theatre
of the capital of Mexico, or Witnessing plays
performed by an American company.
Ell Monitor Significantly remarks that the
late earthquake has changed the position of
the bronze statue of Santa Anna in the Plaza
del Volador. 1t is now slightly inclined to
the North, and appears pointing with its
right hand to the flag that floats over the

my work."

Gs- An accident by which several lives
were nearly lost, occurred near Huntington
Hill, Salem county, on Monday last. Ii
appears that several small lads who attend
school at the above place, were at noon play
ing in and about an excavation, when large
portion of the overhanging earth fell upon
and buried two Of David Pettit's and one of
Samuel HALLS sons. Mr.. Pettit's Oldest boy
was entirely buried to the depth OF several
feet, and when taken out was supposed to be
dead. The other two were much bruised,
but not dangerously injured. The boys who
escaped the accident set to work with COM
mendable promptness, and succeeded in re-
lieying the sufferers, otherwise it is believed
that all three must have perished.-lSaiem

A Mysterious Affair.

Some few weeks since, as our readers will
recollect, we briefly stated, under the cap
ton of 90 Horrible Suicide" that a young
girl, named Caroline Fritzinger, committed
suicide in North Whitehall township, this
county, by stabbing herself with butcher
knife in the breast. Suspicion, however,
soon arose that the deed was Of too revolt
ing a nature to have been committed by
herself, and the relatives and friends of the
unfortunate victim, in consequence thereof,
had her body exhumed and examined by
three physicians, who came to the conclu-
sion that she was murdered. A suit was
then instituted against Jonathan Henninger,
on whom strong suspicion rested, and with
whom she was living at the time. Hennin-
ger bad his first hearing on Monday last, in
this place, before John F. Ruhe, Esq, who
put him under bail for $4,000 to appear
again before Judge Dillinger on the follow
ing Thursday, for a more definite examina-
ton of the witnesses. The examination
of witnesses commenced in the forenoon
of the day appointed, and lasted until
the evening of the day following. when
he (l1enninger) was sent TO prison to await
his trial at the coming November court

MEssRs. J. S. KIRKPATRICK AND DANIEL
R. BURT, Gentlemen:-I hope You will not
take it amiss if | address you through the
medium of the Herald, for the purpose of
requesting you, if it be convenient for yon,
to furnish copies of reports of committees
Of the Conventions of Iowa and Wisconsin,
on the subject of appropriations of public
money for the payment of Chaplains.
ltwould seem that the present is proper
occasion to discuss important Constitutional
questions involving the reserved rights of the
people; that we may be enabled to draw the
nice line of distinction between delegated
rights, and those retained properly by an
enlightened and free people. 1t is due to
ourselves, the country, and the refinement
of the age, that we, as community clothed
with power and authority, to lay the
foundation upon which is to be reared the
superstructure of an enlightened, rational
Jurisprudence of a great State, that we ex-
anime fully and critically all the principles
that are necessary to constitute an efficient
government, and at the same time secure to
each and every citizen his natural indefeasi-
bic rights. We are either all patricians, or
we are all plebians, and the time is past that
it was supposed the strength of the State
grew out of the slavery of the people. No
government can be stronger than that whose
support grows out of the affection of the
people, conscious that the little sacrifices
they have individually made, are so many
assurances that their natural, civil, and So
cial rights properly defined and protected
The subject above alluded to, is one amongst
many others that ought to be calmly and
thoroughly examined by the people.
If you can furnish for publication in the
Herald, the reports of the committees of
which you were respectively chairinen, on
the subjects of the employment and pay of
chaplains, and religious liberty, feel con-
WINGED that good will result from these elab-
crate productions, being extensively read
and reflected upon.
Yours, with respect,
MILES H0LLINGSWORTH.

Temperance, Lancaster.

This Division was organized September
S0th, ls47, and meet regularly on every
Thursday evening, in room opposite KEN

1.-THE Order of the Sons of Temperance,
has probably increased more rapidly than
any other society of modern times. The
professed object of the order, is the noble
purpose of staying the progress of Intern
perance. 1t is represented as sort of mu-
tual insurance against the evils of intoxica-
ton; and combines also with this object, a
system of mutu' benevolence. which secures
every worthy member from the distresses OF
poverty in sickness, and ensures him decent
burial at his DEATH Never having before
lived within the limits of division, we are
unable from observation, to form any opin-
ion as yet, of the real merits of the Order;
but promise hereafter, to make faithful re-
port of the good or bad practical effect and
influences of the society, according to the
best of our ability.]
