ing upon the course Of Mr.. lamar in the
matter Of the Susquehanna Bridge Bill
There was a diversity of opinion touch
ing this matter in this county, but so far
as our Information extends, much the
larger portion of tn people were opPo'
sed to the Bridge, and will sustain ia
mar IN the efforts he thought proper to
make against it; albeit he may have CIV
en- some votes for the purpose Of gaining
strength Tor the battle, which would not
Of themselves be approved. 1t was not
an ordinary ellort-greater eXtrancouS
influences We're brought to bear upon
the legislature in favor Of the Rail Road
Company, than were ever, in any case,
exercised upon any previous legislature;
and lamar having gotten in the position
Of leader of the opposition, and being
impressed with the belief that he was
right, and that he was carrying out the
views of a large majority of his const't-
ucnts, made extraordinary eXertions, and
displayed, as Bridge-men admit, great
generalsElip, But this Is not a matter
tor US to discuss-we will allow the anti
bridgcites to defend their champion.
1--WE have been asked how the
wings of tins county stand, as to Clay
and Taylor. In our opinion they stand
about 40 Clay men to l Taylor man, and
the Taylor men are Clay men at that
SrR1NG.-The signs of spring prevail,
although half the days are cold and dis
agreeable. Robins are in the hedges,
and blue-birds chirp in the trees by the
door. The pewlt sings its refrain fronrthe
the housetop, s the red-bird's shrll whis-
tie comes up from every thicket. The
wheatfelds are glowing in grecnncss,
and the buds are swelling out on the
trees. The farmer IS afield with his
plough, and the fisherman with his net is
by the water side. Everywhere activl-
ty is betokened-we hope to be crowned
with success.
HE News FROM FRANcE'-Much Of
our paper to-day is occupied with thrill
ling intelligence from over the ocean.
This new great Struggle of the people OF
France for liberty, has awakened live
ly interest in the hearts Of the American
people. More than half a century ago
they reached forth their potent arm to
pass to our lips the goblet from which
we have been qualing prosperity and
happiness, and all the blessings Of free
dom, and now they would drink them
selves. In all this wide land, is there a
heart that does not sympathise with them
that does not hope they may succeed
in establishing government which will
guarantee to them all the blessings known
to the prosperous and free Of our happy
country!
u The great Taylor meeting in Bal
timore on last Monday night was not
very harmonious. A portion the NOV
ers were for establishing an independent
Taylor party, but it would not take. We
have no objections to Taylor man who
wishes him to stand whig nomination
but We have no fellow feeling with these
independents-they are not to be de.

TREEs.--Shade trees, when proper
kinds are properly planted, beautiiy
grounds, as we'll as add much to comfort
during the burning suns of summer. Anc
now is the time to plant them. Fruit
trees, too, which supply our wants anc
luxuries, should be planted forthwith al
so. Small cost and labor on them eX,
pended, soon repay with large profits ant
convenience. No one who owns ground
should neglect planting and grgJlinG
trees.
