DEATH OF SENATOR PENNYBACKER.
Virginia mourns The unlimely loss of her able
and cs,imable Senator, suddenly cut down in the
ypor Of manhood and in career of usefulness.
We shall not attempt an culogy upon The lament
ed Pennybacker. For record Of his virtues We
refer to The impressive speeches OF Messrs.
Archer and Mcdowell, which we spread before
our readers in iul. Our acquaintance with Mr..

and honored him for his strong mind, his modes.

answering fidelity TO the Republican principles
of his native State, which on all fitting occasions
he so briefly but cogenty sustained in the nation

UPPER sANDUsKY, JUNE 4, is47.
IMPROVEMENTS AND BUSINESS.

The progress Of Upper Sandusky in i'm,
provements and business of every kind, has
been far more rapid then could possibly have
been expected previous to the sale Of the
town lots. Houses innurmerable have been
erected in rapid succession, to the amazement
of all the citizens. Some places where do
zen or two houses have gone up in season
have had great notice taken ofthem, while our
place putting up hundreds, has had but little
said about it. We believe that the improve
ment in this town is far ahead of any inland
place in the State, or probably out, in the same
tIme
The progress of our town has not, nor will
not stop. Buildings are still going up in all
quarters The Court house will be in progress
in very short time as the brick are now ma
king for 1t, and that will add much to the ap-
pearance of this place. One thing very me-
cessary for gradual and steady progress Of
any town, is to have the country around it
settled up with good and industrious Farmers,
the supporters of all classes; and the country
about our place is filling up rapidly with just
that very kind Of people. Nothing, in our
opinion, can well stop our onward march of
improvements.
We have quite number ofstores, general
ty doing pretty good business, but not half
what they might do, if they were only to show
little more HteraiHy, and ADVERTISE in
their county paper. But every one to his no.
ton. 1t is and always has been remarkable
fact, that the man that advertiseS most, is most
liberal, and where liberallty is, there is the
place to purchase, if you wish to get gpod
bargains. 1t is not only SO with merchants,
but landlords, mechanic s, and all business
men. Let those that doubt this assertion,
watch and they will be convinced that such is
the case

OUR PROGRESS.

The progress of America is rapid beyond
description. No nation or people are SO hap
py or independent, none so resolute or able
to defend themselves against wrongs, and yet
so submissive. The American people permit
themselves 10 be frequently and severely in
jured before they resort to forceable means to
preserve their honor, rights and institutions;
but when they do resort to such means, then
all other nations and kingdoms have to stand
back.
The following is an extract from the Alba
ny Atlas, speaking of the progress of our
government:
Our government must and will be defend
ed. Our people will grow to be the greatest
amcng the families of the earth. First in
war, first in peace, first in national wealth,
and first in power, we shall soon move on in
strides unparalleled and pride Unprecedented

death would thus become messenger of

coasts of ireland, would thus become the
signal of hope, where 1t has been the signal

to our destined elevation, with the envy Of the
world and the hostility Of our enemies fol-
lowing in their cowardly train. The future
will look back through the past and behold
with wondering eyes the struggles and trying
embarrassment through which we shall have
passed from feebleness to power, from infancy
to age, from poverty to wealth and from op-
preston to freedom. The great battle Of the
experiment Of our forefathers, the experiment
of a free government will have been tri-
umphantly fought and man be found capable
of living as a man, as an intelligent being,
without king or an aristocracy to govern
him. We shall have convinced the world for
all time to come that liberty can be enjoyed
in common, and men can commngle as soyer.
eigns by nature, though born in the humble
shed of the rustic child of America, and
the crowned heads Of other countries will lay
down their weapons of warfare to be taken
up no more against US, convicted of the truth
that it is vain to contend against the lnstitu-
tons of our country, based upon the eternal
principles of equality and freedom. The
truth, the basis of our government must pre-
vail. And when the time shall come when
the freedom of our institutions shall have
gained this triumph, the records of the past
viii show that from the beginning to the end
the federal whig party have acted in alliance
with our enemies without, and for central and
aristocratic powers within, as if disturbing
the philosophy of the experiment of our faith
ers.
THE marks of it's cloven foot will be traced
in the sands Of the past, with the heel towards
our battle fields, and toe towards our halls of
legislation, whittier they resorted to contend
for the power of the few against the freedom
of the many. A lingering, fainting echo Of
the past will be heard, longing of itself to
die away of denunciatlons from their lips,
bitterly characterzng all reforms sought for
the broader liberty of the people in common,
as 'maddehed radicalism."

grandest caravans ever seen, extending
fully six miles in length. 1t seems to me
TO be entirely too large party, and could
probably have been divided into numbers

shameful Desertion of MF Corwin by the
LOurnaI..

The journal last night boldly throws
Mr. Corwin over the precipice Of whig am-
bition. Talk not Of yonr Tarpedr rock
OF other day She mbrious wings, with.
our why or wherefore have a modern
rock over which they cast their cumber-
some material With as much indifference
as the ancients-itts Me rock oftheir anI-
bi!iom for power!
Hear what the Journal says:
'We are aware that during the short
time of SIr CorW iH's service n the Senate
of the United States, he has acquired suclY
a position that be has been extensively
thought Of for the Chief Magistracy Of the
Union. But the tendency is towards the
selection. of a-military man, and unless
this W ar shall be protracted until the
laurels won in it shall have become stale,
and connected with unpeasants associa-
tions, il is probable that no man in civil
life will stand much chance. The country
has become soaried of fpuSiHanimous conduct
Ia that high office, that people seem disposed
10 make sure ofat least some high qualities,
By selecting man Of couroge ,cho has been
prouen IN The face Of danger, and thai has
signalised Itself in gaining battles.
The above Italics are ours-'The coun-
try has become tired pusillanimous con-
duct, &C., Sc, and hence there is no
chance for Mr. Corwin! The wings want
some high qualities and hence Mr. Corwin
must stand back! The wings Of Greene

this is the way things are going, we shall
have hard fate truly, to sustain our pos-
ition in relation to Senator Corwin' Look
at the correspondence in our paper to-
day in relation to reading Mr. Corwins'
speech in Common Schools This change
to Common Schools is suggested to avoid
the difficulty of reading it in the Churches,
as proposed by the gentleman Of Circtepitie!

Knapp, is always the schoolnaster to ex-
plain. BY the way, we have been pretty
essentially board as the organ Of Mr.. Cor.
our columns, but we shall take il all in
good part, as some Others are getting
bpred still worse, we should Judge from
appearances! Corwin himself, is an un-
merciful eedg, as every one knows; but
we rather think that friend Knapp, of the
Marion Mirror, carries off the palm, in this
Common School correspondence; lin an
other part Of this paper aud we think
this correspondence is the best possible
preface, or appendix either, that the
journal editor can alix to his articles on
Corw ms speech, the first Of which it pub
lished last evening. For while that pa,
per eulogizes The speech to the skies, apd
pats Mr. Corwin on the shoulder as very
proper man for ordinary places, it kicks
over all his hopes foe the Presidency, aud
goes for some hero of Mr. Folks war.

We connot, for the life Of us suppress a
smile when we look back to the files OF the
wing papers of last summer, after repeal
Of the tariff of 1912. Ia looking over the
Journal Of last summer, our eye fell upor
the following interesting item, which ma,
please the author about this time.
"TnE Corn LAWS ARE REPEALED! Yei
The Price Of Produce in ibe East is on the
decline! The last steam packet brought
Intelligence that the crops Of Englan nd

carious condition. The season was ex

this did not bring up the price OF either

down to about $2,37 So, 80 here. Flour

Flour is now selling in New York for

to ascribe this smart item to the prese Mt
editor Of the Journal, We would not be
SO upkiud. A genius by the name OF
Feesdale is supposed 10 be the author, as
it evidently is from the same prolific bra u
that conoocted the panic resolutions
passed at the whig panic meeting held in
the State House yard last summer, Of
Which TIE following is specimen.
"Further, Resolued, That il is the true
interest OF this county and more espec-
tally Of the agiionlurist, to build up and
rely upon the home market. In war we
have no other. In peace we can never
