Mr. WEBSTER replied, and argued that the
case was one coming within the jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court. He believed, however, the best
way settle il was to pay Texas liberal sum and
avoid the suit, and dispose Of the matter by com
promise IL was true the United States could not
buy what was already theirs, but could buy peace;
they could purchase claim for the purpose OF
peace

fully, to dissent from the opinion that the United
States and Texas could be made parties TO suit
without consent.
MIR. BELL said he would vote against the amend
lncnt, but did not wish that that vote should com
init him on the question of her title. He had con-
sdered this boundary question one of the great
est difficulty, and the proposition in the bill TO
settle it as one Of its principal merits. He hoped
that the bill, in this respect would be shaped be-

all parties.

DEATH OF JOHN C. CALHOUN.

On last Saturday morning, at 10 minutes
past seven o'clock, John G.. Calhoun, of s.
Carolina, departed this life at his residence
on Capitol Hill. The deceased distinguished
statesman for many years filled large page
In The history of his country, and gave utter
ance 10 the purposes of his mind with a.
fearless and determination that won him the
respect of all his countrymen. Many thot
him cratic, but few dared call him dishon-
est Like others, he may have had his faults
but let the grave hide them. His frank
ness was his virtue, and he never deceived
He was no demagogue; and as statesman
his name will long do honor 10 the country.
Mr. Calhoun was of Irish descent. His
parents emigraied to Pennsylvania, in 1893,
from which, after few years, they removed
to Virginia, and thence, in 1856, TO S. Caro-.
lima. John Caldwell was the only son a.
mong five children, and was born March lS,
1882. In 1902 he entered the junior class of
Yale College, where he graduated with the
highest honors. On leaving Yale he passed
ayear and half at the Litchfed Law School
and having completed his studies in 1907, :,
at Charleston, was admitted 10 the bar, and
he rapidly acquired importance and rank
In the course of few years he was elected
TO the Local Legislature of the State, and, in
1911, 10 seat in Congress. In 1917, then
being 35 years old: he was appointed Secre.
tary of War by Mr.. Monroe. In 1925 he
was elected 10 the Vice Presidency, which
Office he retained for time under General
Jackson, and in 1882 he resumed his seat ir
the Senate. This post he held until March,
1888, when he resigned it. In February,
1874, he was appointed Secretary of State
under President Tyler, which office he held
for one year. After retiring he was re-cho-
sen Senator, in which position he remained
to the time of his death. Thus 40 years
were passed by Mr. Calhoun in the discharge
of the duties Of statesman.
He has been partisan Of the most un-
compromising views, but during the many
years that the public eye has closely scanned
his acts, his private character has remained
unspotted and unsullied by even the slight.
est breath of SANDER. He has died in the
fulness of years, with the armor of his polit-
ical warfare upon him, doing service as a
statesman to the last, and leaving:his country
prosperous.

Wooden Printing.

Messrs. Holt & Briefly of Lowell have
now in successful operation new improve
ment of their own discovery, which promis.
es 10 yield a rich reward. 1t is the printing
of woolen goods, in any style of stripe or fl
gure that may be desired, and in perfectly
taste colors, such as will stand the test of
thorough washing. Mr.. Thomas Briefly is
the original inventor and discoverer of the
process of this printing, and has it secured
by patent. The colors are of superior bril-
liancy, and the style of goods is universally
admired For Innings of ladies' and gentle.
mems cloaks and coats, we predict thatthese
goods will soon become all the rage, For
children's clothing too they are so much nj
Ger than anything in the market, that they
can hardly iail of great run.

SULLIVAN COUNTY.

This romantic region, with which we were
SO much delighted by our visit last summer
has at last given birth to newspaper. The
"Sullivan Eagle" is published al Cherry, the
present county-seat, and, judging from the
first number, promises well 10 live. We
certainly wish its proprietors success.
One article from this paper we are pleased
TO copy, with the assurance TO our Sullivan
friends that their good wishes are reciprocal
ted by the people of this county. The article
is as follows
REPRESENTATIVE DIsTRIoT. We learn by
our correspondent at Harrisburg, that the Ap.
portionment Bill as passed the House, con
meets us with Columbia county in forming o
Repre- sentative District. There is no coun
ty in the State we would prefer being attach
ed, than 10 the Star of the North Her peo
Pile are honest and industrious, and true tc
he good old cause of equal rights and fair
dealing. All we ask is honest and fair nom
nations throughout, and little Sullivan will
be found as true in support of honest Dem
ocrats as any county in the State. Cherry
township was the banner township in old Ly
coming and she is as true as ever, and viii
remain so in her new connection, but no bo
gus men can pass her ordeal.

ASTOUNDING IF TRUE-We are Informed
says the Mining Journal, that there will be
brought before the public new locomotive,
iu whinch the requirements of either steam,
fire, air, or water, will be dispensed with; its
power of traction, while effective, will be
perfectly safe by it, one hall, at least, of the
present working expenses will be saved
Advocates Of universal peace look forward
with hope; this agent will exert powerful
influence ou all nations. Distant parts of the
world, where steamships, from the expen-
ses of fuel, hav e. not been, will soon be
reached with facility. This motive power
will advance all nations by a larger stride
than ever steam has yet made.

CosT OF INrEMPERANcE.-Ac committe OF
the New York Assembly, have made re-
port on Intemperance in the State, and esti-
mate the amount annually expended for Ii
quor, at 1000 grog shops existing in the cities
of that State, exclusive of villages, at up
wards of twenty five millions of dollars.
They have collected statistics from the vari.
Gus city and couty prisons, with the exception
of twenty three, which prove that upwards
of 5000 Incorporate persons have been ar
rested in ls49, and that from four-fiflhs to
nine-tenths of all the crime committed has
its origin in intemperance. This is serious
case for reflection.

New STAGE LINE.-We are pleased to lie arm
that tri-weekly line oft horse coaches
are TO be put on the Susquehanna and Tioga
turnpike, the 1st of April next from Ber-
wick ria Foundryville, Fishing Creek, Col
umbus, Cambria, Fairmount Springs, Cher
ry, New Albany and Monroeton to Towanda.
-Messrs. Nicely s. Enkey, of Berwick, pas
sed through this place for the purpose of ma
king the necessary arrangements. We have no
doubt the matter will pay the proprietors
well for this enterprise, which has been neg
leced for several years, 10 the inconvenience
OF the travelling public. This is certainly
the most direct thoroughfare from the North
to Philadelphia; and Towanda will be within
two days ride of the latter place, making a
difference of one day less travel, than by
way of either Wilkesbarre oy Willamsport.
1t is also expected that the mail will be
extended from Fairmount Springs 10 Cherry.
The advantages that will be derived from
this arrangement are worthy of public COM
mendation, as it is but iaw years since the
mail was carried on this route with four
horse coaches, and was then as large as any
in Northern Pennsylvania.-SuNivan Eagle.

PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
Correspondence Of the Starr
HARRIsBuRG. March 90, 1856


HARRIsBuRG, March 90, 1850
Messrs. Editors
This has been quite busy day in
the Legislature, for the members are getting
10 work in earnest, as the session draws TO
close. The Senate, among other things, re-
jeeted the nomination of Samuel Yohe as As
socae Judge of Northampton county. Tic
vote stood 16 TO II.
The FcOest divorce case came up again
on a motion TO reconsider the vote of its f.
nal passage The bill as passed had given
the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia
jurisdiction TO try the suit between the par
lies. This was reconsIdered by vote of II
10 Is, and the bill then defeated by a vote of
16 10 II. Ex-Mayor Swift, of Philadelphia,
and several others of note were here boring
for this bill.
The bank bill was amended in the Senate
TO require all banks 10 pay one-fiflh of their
notes in American gold coin, and passed final
reading late in the afternoon.
The bill to make Prosecuting Attorneys c.
lective by the people has been reported TO
Honse with amendments.
The tariff resolutions were pressed, but
their consideration was postponed by vote
of &c to 46.
A bill 10 regulate surveying, by establish
ing true mcridians, and a standard measure
for Surveyors chains passed final reading in
the House.
The whole afternoon was taken up by the
consideration of the revenue bill. There is
not much money in the State treasury and
the Legislators will feel reluctant to make
heavy appropriations. Still they will give
more than they should. Each member asks
for something and has his peculiar pet
The North Branch Extension will require a.
mother appropriation, and will obtain it, for it
would not answer to let the work stop at this
stage of IFS progress.
Mr. Beaumont is recovering from his ill
ness, and, whether sick or well, will yet do
yeoman service for his constituents and the
Democratic faith. He and Judge Conyng.
ham are the most influential members of the
House. Among the solid and sound Demo-
Gratis here, Mr.. Mowrey of Wyoming, Mr..
Cessna of Bedford, and Morrison of Mont
gomery, may be ranked prominent Of the
Wings, Mr.. Smyser is by far the ablest man
in the House. Walker of Erie, and Matthi-
as of Philadelphia, are their best Senator's
But General Packer is enough for their Mag
nus Apollo, and Mr.. Fernon has sagacity &
practical sense equal 10 any of their tacti-
clans.
No day has yet been fixed for the adjourn
ment, and the session will not be likely to
end before tine 18th of April.

AYERS CHERRY PEcToRAL- We would
call the attention of our readers TO the circu.
lar enclosed in this days issue of our paper,
which is itself its own cerificute of charac-
ter and the intrinsic worth Of the preparation
it goes 10 recommend. Read tit is worth
reading.
The distinguished names lent in its favor
are sufficient assurance of its value, and the
medicine itself shows that it is worthy the
best commentator bestowed upon it, When
such men i'll our own country as Prof. Sill
man of Yale College, Prof. Hitchcock, the
venerable President of Amherst College,
Prof Bartlett, of the Pennsylvania College of
Medicines; DIR. Valentine Mott of New York
city, and the learned editor of tie Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal, the Southern
Medical Review, the Western Lancet, &c. as
well as many high medical authorities in fo-
reign countries, give their evidence so strong
ly in favor of the Cherry Pectoral we could
not doubt its efficacy, even if we had not
the evidence of our own experience in its
favor. No medicine could have any better
friends, and certainly none more deserves
them. We may then safely congratulate the
public on the possession of remedy which
can be relied on for relief from the scourge
and terror Of our climate, diseases of the
lungs.

Afternoon Passenger Train.

We learn that the Philadelphia and Read.

mer arrangement, which has been found so
great convenience 10 our business men and
the travelling community in general, and run
two trains of Passenger Cars between Potts
vile and Philadelphia, from and after the
first of April. Trains will leave the depots
here and in Philadelphia at u o'clock in the
morning, and again at % o'clock in the af-
temoon. This will enable our citizens TO vs-

The Sullivan County-Seat,

The Harrisburg correspondent of the Brad
ford Reporter writes thus about Little Sulli-
van :-"The bill appointing new commiss-
ion 10 relocate -ihe.seat of Justice in Sullivan
County, came up on Saturday in Committee
OF the whole, and was discussed until the
hour of adjournment, when the Committee
rose and were refused leave to sit again,
which would have brought the bill directly
before the ehouseh second reading but the
hour of adshrnment having arrived, it was
of course passed over There is evidently a
strong disposition, in the House TO pass the
bill, and some of the members are quite anx.
ious TO dispose of the whole question at once
by fixing the County.Seat permanently at
Laporte. But the membeis of the Judiciary
Committee who reported the bill seem dis
posed to sustain the report courtesy TO them
will exercise a controlling influence over 9TH
ers, so that the bill, as reported, will unques-
tlonably pass What will be its fate in the
Senate, am unable 10 foretel 1t will GER
tlanly be opposed and strenulously too, by
certain Senators whose ''fellow feeling" with
one OF the late Commissioners, make them,
II not "wondrous kind" at least wondrous ac-
tive in defence of the gentleman whose in
tsgrity is somewhat tarnished by the devel-
opement's recently made in relation to the
removal from Laporte TO Cherry. The ad-
vocaies for Cherry seem disposed TO press
their application fora slice off fiom Bradford,
as the present location is within two miles
and half of the Bradford line, it makes a
bad show on the map, and unless they can
hold out a, least prospect of getting more
territory on the north, SO as 10 bring Cherry
into more Central position, they will stand
but poor chance of keeping the county
seat permanently at that place.-Hence they
endeavor to procure passage of the bill
now on file for that purpose, if not at the
present session, certainly at each succeeding
one until they succeed, should the Seat of
Justice remain where it is at present located.

Pacific RAILRoAD.-We are not prepared,
without qualification, 10 adopt Mr.. Whitney's
plan, or his designated route. Altho' there
are some plausible grounds for the adoption
of the scheme proposed, yet ii is not without
objections. The grant of land asked by Mr..
Whitney would make him the greatest land
holder in the universe. In parison with
the extentof the domain which the bill would
give Mr.. Whitney, the PATRONS of n: York
would be but a diminutive flower bed.
