ent Ii is 10 be expected any attempt TO deny
to the people Of the State the right of seIf-goy-
ernment, in matter which peculiarly affects
/ themselves, will infallibly be regarded by them
as an invasion Of ther rights and upon the prln-
ciple laid down in our own Declaration of indie
pendence they will certainly be sustained in
/ their resistance against it by the great mass Of
the American people. To assert that they are
conquered people, and must submit to the
will Of their conquerors in this regard, will
meet with no cordial response among American
freemen.
Great numbers Of them are our own country
men, not inferior to the rest in intelligence and
patriotism, and no language Of menace to re-
. strain them IN the exercise of an undOubted
right, substantially guaranteed to them by
treaty Of ccssion itself, shall ever be uttered
by me, or encouraged and sustained by persons
acting under my authority. II IS to be expect
ed that in the residue of the territory ceded to
US by Mexico, the people residing there will,
at the time of their incorporation into the
union State, settle all questions of domcs tic
policy to suit themselves
No material inconvenience will result from
the want, for short period, of q government
established by Congress over that part of the
territory which lies eastward of the new State
Of California, and the reasons for my opinion
that New Mexico will at no very distant Pc
TiOd ask for admission into the union, are fouB-
ded on unofficial information, which, | suppose
is common to all who have cared to make in
quirics on the subject.
Seeing, then, that the question which now
excites such painful sensations in the country
will, in the end, certainly be settled by the
silent effect of causes independent Of the action
Of Congress, ! again submit to your wisdom
the policy recommended in my annual mes
sage, Of awaiting the salutary operation of
those causes-believing that We shall thus
avoid the creation of geographical parties, and
secure the harmony of feeling so necessary to
the beneficial action of our political system
Connected, as the union is, with the remem-
brance ofpast happiness, the sense ofthe present
blessings, and the hopes Of future peace and
prosperity. every dictate Of wisdom, every feel
ing Of dlty, aud every emotion Of patriotism,
tend 10 inspire fidelity and devotion to it, and
admonish US cautioLsy to avoid any unneces-
sary controversy which can either endanger it
or impair its strength--the chief element of
which is to be found in the regard and affection
Of the people for each other.

Three Young Ladies' Drowned.

Three Young ladies. one the daughter of
Judge Woodward, ELLEN NJ the second
Miss Ann Butler, resident of his family.
and the third a Miss Mary r, Benner, of
Belleionte. Pa, who was visiting for a
short time in the family of Judge W. left
their home IN Kingston, 10 walk over TO
Wiikesbarre (about one mile) on Saturday
last. The water of the Susquehamna had
risen over the flat lands and rendered the
road impossible for wagons, and on Friday
night had frozen to the thickness perhaps
OF two or three inches. They undertook,
IN perfect safety as they supposed. 10 walk
on the ice from the house TO the bridge and
amuse themselves in sliding along; but in
attempting to cross a small pond of back
water, $50 called which had been frozen
over, Miss Benner broke through, followed
Immediately by the other two, and all three
were drowned, no proper assistance being
at hand. The alarm was given by one of
two littlo Girls who accompanied them, To
some citizens of Kingston who fastened
TO the spot, a shawl upon the ice deSigna-
ting it TO them. BY placing boards, they
succeeded IN reaching the hole in the ice
and bringing up the bodies: but life was
extinct. and all their efforts to rcstore il
were iluItIess, the bodies having been in
the water a half hour. This sad event is
deeply deplored in the community where
the Young ladies resided, and where they
were highly respected.

that there is an actual waste of power in a

position papers to aver that it has nothing

ism can create famine in Europe to raise
the price of wheat. starve the Irish by

TO British laborers, il seems to US il would
be small matter for il to put down the

For the GG=stfG
4 Borough without an officer.

Do not be startled. reader, on being in
formed that the Borough of Lewistown
appears to be without an officer. Strange
rs this may appear, we are nevertheless
induced TO believe il from the facts set
forth in the sequel.
Many doubts and surmises having been
expressed about a borough ordinance, An
Inquirer in the Gazette of the 18th inst,
requested. in the most respectful language,
the borough officers to give information in
the next Gazette whether there was bo-
rough ordinance requiring the snow to be
removed from the payements, &c. Not
withstanding the rumor that borough off
GERS had been elected, the next Gazette
contained no reply. Now seeing that the
ordinance .(lor Madam Rumor most posi-
lively asserts there is One) still remains as
a dead letter, unnotced and dlsregarded,
notwithstanding attention 10 il has been
publicly, though respectfully, invited, is it
assuming too much to assert that the bO-
rough Is lOr appears to be- without an Off
Ger! At all events there IS none willing
10 cOndescend to answer the intcrrogatories
OF An Inquirer, and as regards the ordi-
nance IN question, 4" there Is none so poor
~ 10 do 1t reverence"
In his first communication An Inquirer
supposed a hint would be sufficient, and
still desirous of avoiding offence. he indul-
ges the hope Of arousing the attention of
the officers to this and other ordinances
daily violated with impunity, " still in a
mild and gentle strain"
