UaWkerS and PcdIarS,

The following is the law relative to
hawkers and pedlars passed at the last
session of the Legislature. 1t is only ap-
plicable to the counties of Armstrong,
Indiana and Cambria, but is SO severe in
its exactions as to amount to almost a
positive prohibition.
Sec. 2. That no person shah be enga-
ged or be concerned in the business of
hawking or peddling from town to town,
i'll the counties of Armstrong. Indiana and
Cambria, any foreign or domestic goods,
made up clothing, dry goods. or drugs
and medicines, without first obtaining a
license SO to do, and paying therefor to
the treasurers of said counties respectively,
for the use of the Commonwealth, the
sum Of thirty dollars; which license the
treasurers of said counties are hereby au-
tllorized TO grant within their respective
counties, upon payment of the said SUM.

Steamships between PHILADELPHIA and Antwerp

PHILADELPHIA seems to be thoroughly
aroused to the important assistance which
her commerce is to receive from steam,
and which, with the proper kind of enter
prise may be the means of re-establishing
her former supremacy, or at least greatly
promoting the prosperity which she Is
destined from her position and resources
always to enjoy. A few days ago, we
noticed the project for connecting her
more Immediately with Liverpool, by a
line of steamships between the two points.
We now see by memorial to Congress,
from Ambrose w. Thompson, of this
city, that project is urged of establishing
a line of steamships between Philadelphia
and Antwerp, touching at Portsmouth, in
England, and Havre, in France, in which
il is proposed to carry the u. S. Mall

purposes, and so arranged as to be contro-

pense. provided the government Will ad-
vance two-thirds of the cost of each ship,

Organize. Organize,

rs the approaching contest is near at
hand, and as it is of the utmost Importance
to the welfare Of the great Democratic
party, 1t should be borne in mind that
whatever is to be done, must be done
quickly. The people must be aroused to
the importance of supporting regular nom
nations, aud to the necessity of effectlng
complete organization in our ranks in
order that full vote may be Polled--
Meetings should be held in every district,
aud men appointed whose duty it should
be 10 see that every democrat has voted.
Care should be taken that no deception is
practiced relative to the tickets, as every
scheme will be resorted to by our oppo-
nents in order to defeat the party. See
that tickets for Morrison, Banks, Bra,o-
iey, Snodgrass, McDoweH, Smith and

To our Democratic Friends of the State.

Governor Johnston, with characteristic
desperation, has embarked in the present
canvass, and will endeavor to defeat the
democratic candidates for Congress and
the Legislature, no matter at what COST
1t is known that he has mixed himself up
with the contest in the XIIIth Congress
District, and now we learn that he is al
work to defeat Drum, Democrat, for Sen
ator, in the Clarion District, and Gilmore
Democrat, for Congress, in the Butler,
Clearield, Armstrong and Indiana district.
No doubt his intrigues and his instruments
are doing their work in other quarters
We admonish our friends in the different
counties to be on the alert; to be ready
for every expedient of the political enemy;
and to ORGANIZE FOR THE CONTEST. Let
them remember, that the State is overrun
with wing emissaries in the shape of AS
sistant Marshals, Deputy Postmasters, and
other officials; and there is not the slight
est reason for doubling that secret move
ment is organized and ready TO take the
Democrats by surprise. Be wide awake,
therefore, Democrats. The Wings know
the importance ofthe present election, and
are full of anxiety to control it TO their
own advantage. They rejoice III the be-
lief that Cameron is dividing our ranks
and destroying our discipline, for they are
eager to secure another U. S. Senator, a
Whig Congressional delegation, and a
Whig Canal Commissioner. How they
exult at the difficulty in the Westmoreland
Congress District! How they chuckle at
the hope of beating certain democrats for
the Legislature! Nothing has disappoint-
ed them more than the harmo nious set
tlement of the difficulty in the Cum
berland and Perry Senate district, and
nothing will cause them 10 give up the
fight but the united, vigorous and enthusi-
astic rally of the Democracy. Before ii
is to late, We again admonish our friends
to awake TO the duty they are called upon
10 odischarge.-PeuasytUanian.

Ignorance of England.

The following is from Dickens House
hold words:
Taking the whole northern Europe
including Scotland and France and Belgi-
um-(where education is at low ebb) we
find that to every two and quarter Of the
population, there is one child acquiring
the rudiments of knowledge; while in
England there is only one such pupil to
every fourteen inhabitants. II has been
calculated that there are at the present day
in England and Wales nearly 100000
of persons who can neither read nor write
that is to say, nearly one quarter of the
population. Also, that of all the children
between five and fourteen, more than one
half attend no place of instruction. These
statements would be hard to believe, if we
had not to encounter in our every day life
degrees of illiteracy which would be start
ling if we were not thoroughly used to it.
Wherever we turn ignorance, not always
allied to poverty, stares us in the face.
''If we look in the Gazette, at the list
of partnerships dissolved, not a month

Now setting aside the reasonable ma
ture Of the action of the Legislature a
gainst the constitution Of the U. State S,
the facts we hare sat forth are and ought
to be sufficient 10 deprive these delegates
Of moral force and influence, as they
are destitute of all legal influence, in the
proposed convention.
But we would ask why did not the
Legislature submit the choice Of dele
gates to the people9 Because in that
case the candidates for the Office must
have taken The stump, as in other cases;
they must have declared ;heir views
fully before the people; the whole mat
Ter must have been openly and publicly
discussed, both sides Of the question ex-
amined and the decision given according
to the law and the testimony. And they
feared, and not without good reason,
that the people would affirm the judg-
ment Of their delegates last October and
thus these f%actious men would be defeat
ed in their design Of dissoIVing the I'm
ion. There was but one State in the
Union where this usurpation Of power
and this dictation would be submitted 70
and in that very State did the doctrine
of disunion take its rise. If Mississippi
is to be the second, for the sake ofdecen.
cy let US abolish our constitution first
lei US erase from our political creed the
old dogma that "the people are capable
Of self government and that Legislatures
derive their power from the people; =
and adopt as a new and more appropriate
principe, "that all power is inherent in
our rulers, by the grace of God, and we
can only obey"
