Fearful Condition of Ireland.

The London Times thus describes the
political and social condition of the ''sister
kingdom
The main symptom of her present state
is the utter antagonism Of ranks and clas-
ses. The discord which first existed be-
tween Papist and Protestant, or Orange
man and Ribandman, has now become the
discord between landlord and tenant, be-
tween the poor and the rich,-between
those who have and those who have not.
There is now in progress war, deter
mined, obstinate, and not unfrequently,
sanguinary, between property and want.
Rent is no longer evaded, but pillaged by
the tenant. All the securities which the
law has provided for its payment have be-
come nullity and a mockery. Armed
and multitudinous force vanquishes the law
and secret deliberations gives additional
support to force.
Where there is not detachment of sol
diers ready to assist III the collection of
rent, the marauding tenants triumph, and
the landlord is plundered without redress.
Already blood has been shed in vain at
tempt to vindicate the rights of property,
and while we write most probably fresh
outrage has been followed by fresh earn
age. A few weeks more, such as the last
six have been in some of the Irish coun-
ties, and the idea of property will have
been extirpated, the ties of civil society
irreparably broken, and pest worse than
any physical malady perpetuated therein.
This is not the worse part of the crime
or its consequences. 1t is not only per-
petrated by the ignorant and uneducated,
but it is tolerated, encouraged and defend
ed by men of knowledge and education.
1t is hailed by patriots as the retributive
war of the oppressed against the oppressor
of the injured and plundered serf against
his domineering and extortionate master.
In the remembrance of old wrongs and old
neglect are buried the suggestions of con-
science and the dictates of law.
Some landlords were cruel, and others
indifferent; therefore all landlords should
be robbed; such is the logic with which
Irish patriotism addresses the most infam-
mable minds in Europe. The lesson is
not lost. The spark falls on the gun
powder, as it was meant that it should
While the men of learning ease write and
advise, the men of the land are beggared,
and with them all whose subsistence de-
pends upon the purveyance Of elegant lux
uries or necessary comforts. Trade is
hampered; commerce dulled; and the
thousand arms which put the industry
of cities in motion are paralyzed by bru-
tai violence which wants the dignity of re-
venge and the courage of war.

The Approaching Congress.

We trust to see our friends on the ground
early. We call the attention OF the DEM
ocratic members of Congress to the great
importance of prompt and early atten-
dance upon the organization of the House
of Representatives
In the present closely contested situation
of the House, the absence of a single DEM
ocratic member may change the whole
aspect of affairs, and place the organiza-
ton in the hands of our opponents.
The election of Speaker and of the
different officers, the formation of the
committees, and the whole benefit of the
organization, may be lost by inattention
or neglect. At such a crisis, every man
should be at his post, and not allow the
fruits of victory to be lost by failure to
be present at the opening of the session.
At the commencement Of the last Con-
gress, if our friends had been present IN
full force, far different result would have
been produced, decisive as was the wing
majority. When it is remembered that
the present Clerk of the House was elect
ed by single vote over his democratic
competitor, and that the sweeping pros
cription of democrats that followed, was
caused Oy the uelay ol ueinoCIdllC ihelh-
bers to be present, our friends will see the
importance of their attention to this sub
iject.
Maddened by continual defeat, and rem
dered desperate by the triumphant success
of the democratic party, the wings will
doubtless attempt every scheme of coall-
ton, bargain, and intrigue, to defeat a
democratic organization of the House.
Forewarned, let US be forearmed; and by
full attendance and united front, secure
the House against an administration which
was elected by accident, and is now being
defeated by design.

Singular Freak of Electric Fluid.

During the thunder storm on Thurs
day last, bolt struck the building occu-
pied as Feed Store, by Messrs. Snyder
& Co., near Lock No. IL, at East Schuyl-
kill Haven. The fluid struck the roof,
passed down the front of the building, and
separating, descended on either side of the
front hoor, through which it entered into
the store, where Mr.. Francis Benseman
and Mr.. Snyder were standing. Itstruck
Mr.. SNYDER on the shoulder, completely
stripping the clothes from that portion oi
his person, passed down his side, across
his abdomen, through his pantaloon pock.
ct where was some silver change, thence
down his leg and out through very con
siderable hole which it burned in the bot
tom of his boot, and disappeared through
the floor. Mr.. Snyder was stricken dowr
senseless and apparently dead, in which
condition he remained until some of the
neighbors carried him out into the rain
which In few minutes caused him to re-
vive; he cotinues however IN very weak
and precarious condition.
Mr.. Benseman was also stricken down
senseless, but revived very soon.
The building was shattered from the
roof to its foundation, and ii seems really
miraculous that the inmates were not In.
stantly killed. They represent that at the
instant of the shock they felt as if thrown
into heated furnace, and the smell oi
sulphur was utterly overpowering.

A New County.
III

Poor Little Cambria!'' Her weak
ness, instead of being a protection, is
seized upon, as is too often the case, as
affording an opportunity for self aggran-
disement. For several years the most
active measures have been in operation
to take from her large portion territory
composing the townships Of White and
ISusquehanna, to form pert of new
county to be called Pine, and we believe
this movement was only defeated by a
very few votes at the last session Of the
Legislature. Another plan has lately
sprung into existence Of depriving her of
three of her largest townships in the
south, and should both or either of these
propositions be carried out successfully,
Cambria would scarcely be a county in
any thing else than the name.
By the last Johns town Echo we learn
that an adjourned meeting Of the citizens
Of Johnstown and vicinity was held at the
house Of Samuel Bracken on the 18th
inst, TO adopt measures to bring about the
erection Of new county out of parts ol
Cambria, Indiana, Somerset and West
moreland, TO be called Conemaugh with
Johnstown, Of course, for its capitol. We
as yet know nothing definitely of what
was done at this meeting, as none of the
proceedings have been published. The
Echo says ''from the zeal manifested upon
the occasion. we believe our citizens are
going 10 work in good earnest. and with
determination 10 have a new county,
/ We believe it is intended to embrace
within the limits Of this new county
RIChland, Conemaugh, Summerhill anC
part Of Jackson townships. If we are
correct in this supposition, the line of the
new county Will run within three mile!
Of the borough Of Ebensbwg. We cal
scarcely believe that our friends in Johns
town seriously entertain the idea of ad
vancing proposition so unreasonable o.
absurd, nor do we think that majority O
the people residing within the limits O
the proposed new county are desirous o
its erection, or willing to incur the heavy
additional tax that will be necessary tc
put up the new buildings. The take:
are now heavy enough, and it is admitted
on all hands, that this plan of our Johns
town friends would only increase them
We will notice this subject more par
ticularly when we receive the proceed
Ings of the Johnstown meeting, when we
will be enabled to speak more advisedly O.
het proposed new county of Conemaugt
and of the plan that has been adopted.

Indian Troubles.
DETROIT, Nov.

DETROIT, Nov. II.
We learn by the Franklin steamboat
which has just arrived from the Sault, thai
great excitement prevailed there i'll conse-
quence of the apprehended difficulties be-
tween the Quebec Mining Company, and
the Indians. The difficulty has arisen
from the neglect of the Canadian authori-
ties to make the payment for their lands,
which had been promised to the Indians.
They had stolen three cannons and had
been Joined by thirty whites, and to the
number of about 200 had commenced
their march on the operators of the COM
pany. The most serious consequences
are apprehended, as the Indians are well
armed.

Military.

We arc pleased to learn that new vol
unteer company, called the "Johnstown
Guards has been organized in the bor-
ough of Johnstown. The following GEN
tlemen were elected officers:
Coptai'a-John Flanagan.
lst. LieW.-John ]. Worthington.
I'd 8 benjamin f. Davis.
Sd s. William Paxton.
Two of these gentlemen, Messrs. Wor-
thington and Davis were volunteers in the
war with Mexico, where they done good
service in the cause of their country. and
we are glad to see them evince such inter-
est In military matters as to take part in
the organization of new volunteer COM
pany.
We also learn that the 'Quitman Guards
at No. 2, A. p. X. r., were dulv inspect-
ed by John Linton, Brigade Inspector;
and organized on Thursday last, and that
they may now be regarded as one of the
permanent companies of this county under
the new militia law of this commonwealth.

The Next House of Representatives,
What's 10 be Done?

BENNETT Of the New York Herald, an
original Taylor man, thus discourses
concerning the Administration and its
prospects:
The Whig party in the late elections,
has been rddled into rags. Virginia,
Maine, North Carolina, Tennessee Kentuc-
ky, Indiana. Georgia, Mary land Pennsyl-
vanIa, and Ohio, tell the same story
The cabinet is s'stove in," and Truman
Smith is out at the elbows. What's to be
done! How shall we mend the broken
crockery!
"Tbe cabinet, and the cabinet organs,
have made the next House of Represen-
tatives a test question: question of life
and death. With the organs, there was
prospect of Congress printing-with the
cabinet, there was prospect OF filling the
offices of the House with their retainers,
and the more important object of a popu
lar verdict in support of the doings of the
cabinet. The results are gloomy enough
The organs are left aground, and the cab
met stands condemned. The election of
Colonel Polk was followed by a majority
Of sixty in the House. How is it that the
more triumphant election of Gen. Taylor
carrying with 1t almost the entire New
York delegation, including Master Brooks
is succeeded by such disastrous cave in!
The reason is as clear as daylight. The
cabinet have committed nothing but blum
ders, and their patry and selfish intrigues
have disguised the country. They have

New Banks.

Applications viii be made to the next
Legislature for the charter of no less than
seventeen new Banks; and for the renewal
of eight Bank charters. The total increase
that would be thus added to the banking
capitol of the State would be nearly four
millions and a half of dollars, as will be
seen by the following table, which has
been made up from our exchanges. 1t is
well for the people and the State that it is
to democratic Legislature that these ap-
plications will have to be made, who will
doubtless place such wholesome restric-
tions on whatever Banks they may create
as will effectually preserve the people
from a repetition of the numerous losses
which they have lately sustained by such
soulless corporations as the Lewistown,
Susquehanna and a number of other
Banks Of like character. We believe that
the most effective means in the hands Of
the people to keep these institutions true
to their trust is the individual liability prin
ciple, and the experience of the past should
satisfy them that they must look to q
democratic Legislature for its adoption

This would be an enormous amount to

of the State, and the amount asked for
may be larger than we have stated, as
there may be applications which we have
not noticed. We have prepared the above
table merely with a view to show our
readers what will be demanded of the
next Legislature, & the stand that should
be taken by our democratic representatives
IN relation to banks. We have no idea
tha; more than one fourth of the amount
asked for will be granted, or that more
than that amount is required by the inter-
ests of the people.
