WE PUBLISH this week the proceedings of
The people Of Vernon on the railroad question.
Our Vernon friends, we think, are somewhat
premature in making any arrangements to re-
sist the payment Of the county bonds. The
preliminary $iOd,OOo dollars have not been
subscribed, and until that is done, the bonds
%cnnnot be issued. And, after issued, they must
be sold at par. They are a highly respectable
portion Of our county, and have right to be
heard. We most cheerfully publish their re-
solutions. Col Tarpley expressed his opinion
againstthe constitutionality Of the bill. Won

Mems opinions are sometimes Influenced by the
prospect Of rich fees, and we have no reason
to believe Colonel Turpley an exception to

POLITICAL

The U3tion, and some other democratic pa.
peFs, are calling the present administration
by such names as the Galphtn party, and the
Galphin Cabinet. We are opposed to any such
onaJoolery as this, and the adoption Of any
such slang PHRASES and epithets. ltistoo much
like whiggery itself to suit our taste. Ills
true the, wing journals usually call us bitter
endsrs, ~sv6terraneans, locotocos, and some
times locos for short, and if we were disposed
to initiate their standard of manners and taste,
we might retort, and apply t.. them the appel
lation Of Galpanites, a term having some
meaming and point in it, and not like that oil
loco, which owes its origin to a mere accidon-
tai circumstance.
But we, for one, do not choose to retort in
that way. Those differing from usin political
sentiment, have chosen to call themselves
Whigs-by that name let them be known, and
BY that name let us wage war against their
principles.
This miserable mode of political warfare
that consists in bandying epithets and nick
names, is unsnitcd to the genius of democracy
-it is exclusively the capital Of the party
that boasts Of "all the talents and all the de-
cency.n

THE PAPACY IN ENGLAND.

The excitement, in England, in relation &c
the late bull of the Pope, widens ard deepens,
Lord John Russell, The prime minister, has writ
ten letter, which appears on our third page,
distinctly declaring the disapprobation Of her
maJesiy's government with the Pape bull.
he people, meantime, are assuming threat
ening and dangerous attitude. The fifth Of
November, or Guy Fawkes day, has of late
been scarcely commemorated, but it was OBJ
served, this year. with all the old ceremonies.
The Pope was buried in efiigy, as also Cardi.

towns. Meantime the leaders of the Rumish

We fear if such ill-advsed measures are
persisted in, that England will exhibit before
long, outbreaks of religious zeal that will long
be remembered. 1t is rather strange 10 see
the Pope, not content with being tolerated in
England, thus assuming the aggressive, when
he will not permit an English Priest, much
less Bishop, TO minister publicly in Rome.

A SIBERIAN WINTER,

The Traveller in Siberia, during the
winter, is so enveloped in .furs that he can
scarcely move; and under the thick fur
hood, which is fastened to the bear-skln
collar and covers the whole face, one can
only draw in, as it were by stealth, a little
OF the external air, which is so keen that it
causes very peculiar and painful feeling
to the throat and lungs. The distance from
one halting place to another taxes about ten
hours, during which time the traveller must
always continue on horseback, as the cum
brous dress makes it insupportabe TO wade
through the snow. The poor horses suffer
at least as much as their riders, for besides
the general effect of the cold, they are tor,
mented by ice forming in their nosrils and
stopping their breathing. When they ntl-
mate this by distressed snort and a con-
vuIsive shaking of the head, the drivers
relieve them by taking out the pieces Of
ice, to save them from being suflocated.-
When the icy ground is not covered by
snow, their hoots often burst from the effect
of the cold. The caravan is always sur
rounded by thick cloud Of vapor i! is not
but even the snow smokes. These evapo-
ratonS are instantly changed into millions
of needles OF ice, which fill the air, and
cause constant slight noise, resembling
the sound of torn satin or thick silk Even
the reindeer seeks the forest to protect him
self from the intensity OF the cold. In the
tundras, where there is no shelter to be
found, the whole herd crowd together as
close as possible to gain little warmth
from each other, and may be seen standing
in this way quite motionless. Only the
dark bird of winter, the raven, still cleaves
the icy air with slow and heavy wing, leav-
ing behind him long line of thin vapor,
marking the track of his solitary flight
The influence of the cold extends even to
nammate nature. The thickest trunks of
trees are rent asunder with a loud sound,
which, in these deserts, falls on the ear like
signal shot at sea large masses of rock
are torn from their ancient sites; the
ground in the tundras and in the rocky
valleys cracks, forming wide yawnng fs-
sures from which the waters, which were
beneath the surface rise, giving off cloud
of vapor, and become immediately changed
into ice. The effect of this degree of cold
extends even beyond the earth. The beauty
of the deep polar star, so often and SO Justly
| praised, disappears in the dense atmosphere
which the intensity of cold produces. The
stars still gliSten in the armament, but their
brlliancy is dimmed.- IraUeiS in Mt

HE RAILROAD ALONG THE VALLEY OF THE
LEHIGH-lt is known, perhaps, to many of
our readers that a corps of engineers have for
some weeks passed been busily employed in
surveying the route Of the contemplated rail-
road from Easton along the valley of the Lee
high to the coal beds of Carbon-being an
extension of the New York and Sommeryille
Railroad. The engineers were as far as this
place carly last week, and are now prosecu-
ting their Iabors up the Lehigh. From what
we can learn, the route is not only feasible.

of the Road, as far as the engineers have
gone, equal, if not superior, 10 any Railroad
route that has been surveyed ia Penusylva-

grades, &C., than the Reading and Pottsvie
