Pennsylvania.

The address of the Wing State Central Com
mittee Of Pennsylvania says that the election Of
members of the Legislature possesses unusual
interest, from the fact that at their next session
they are to apportlon the State for the Con-
gressional representation, and TO elect United
States Senator to serve for period Of six years
from the 4th of March next. 1t adds that the
experience of the last winter demonstrates that,
to secure fair and honest apportionment bill
it is necessary to have Wing majority in the
Legislature.
The address dwells with just emphasis on
the importance of the elections for Congress in
Pennsylvania. When the State most largely
interested in tariff legislation sends representa-
tives TO Congress who deem it ''inexpedient''
to legislate the Tariff in the face of the fact
that the most enormous frauds are known to be
PerPetrated under the existing system-how
can she expect other States to be more true To
Pennsylvania than Pennsylvania is to herself
Let the Keystone State call TO severe reck-
oning those of her sons who have deserted her
in the hour of her need.
For four years, says the address, the people
vi udNt Dttu Struggling dRdlHSs
Legislation which closes their coal-mines and
their ork-shops-wbich prefers the foreign
capitalist in their own thanksgiving bread
to foreign labor which is requisite for the sup
port of their opn. The fires of our two hun
dred iron-works hare gone out, the hands OF
10000 laborers are idle" And yet Penn
sylvania is partially represented in the House
by gentlemen who deem it 'inerpedienP even
to discuss the question whether or not the Tariff
may be beneficially amended AS long as this
State is represented by Legislators who affiliate
with the anti-tariff clique of the South Caro-
lima school, and barter the substantial interests
Of their constituents for abstract dogmas-it is
vain to expect that WING Executive can
prevail upon Congress to adopt its recommend
atoms for the protection of home labor against
tn frauds Of foreign importers.

truly say that we have never seen a more faithful

of frown. The work is got up in fine style, and

Monsieur Alexander vatternnre.

Twenty-Five years ago this gentleman con-
ceived the great scheme to which the last
twenty years of his life have been almost ex-
clusiyely devoted. Like all great and useful
conceptions, it carries with it an air of perfect
simplicity, and men seem to wonder why il had
not always been familiar to the human mind:
and they ask themselves how the nations of
the earth have been prosperous and happy
without il.
And what is this great scheme7 Will it re
suit in profit or aggrandsement to the ndi-
viduals who may enter into it7 Has NJ.

ton; or will he7 Perhaps not; and yet we
would suggest that there may be other motives
to impel the actions Of mon.
M. VArrEMARG conceived the thought that
the nations and individuals of the human fam
lily would be benefited by knowledge Of each
other; that the fraternity OF man could be com
pretended only by an intimate and particular
acquaintance, on the part Of the people Of each
cline, with those Of every other and that the
dissemination and the aggregation of the light Of
truth are requisite to render it truly profitable
to the world. In accordance with these idea,

CHILLED BY AN OMNIBUs.-In New York, Allen

over by of the Broadway stages Monday
night and almost instantly killed. The boy had
been riding the hind part of stage, and was in
the act Of getting off, when he stumbled and fell
under another stage.
We give the foregoing as a warning to the boys
of Washington, many OF whom pursue the practice
spoken of, and are therefore liable to like gle

such.

recovery The truth is, presume, that the course
of the ball cannot be ascertained, and that whether
the wound is dangerous or otherwise, will only be
known when its effects become developed.
We regret to state that Matthew has not been ap-
pretended. His escape will, doubtless, be inter
preted to the disadvantage of our city. We can,
however, confidently say that, whether injured or
not, the people of Washington are disposed to lend
no countenance to the horrible deed he has perpe-
tracd If their police system is defective, as un-
qestonaby is, they regret it, and desire its amend
