Fourth Of Jelly.

The 18th anniversary of American In
dependence is drawing near, and as yet
but little is said with reference to its OBJ
servance by the citizens of this place
Last year very creditable demonstra-
ton was made by the members of the
Humane Fire Company, on the memoir
able Fourth. In the current year we
should like to see general participation
by the body of the People, in the exerci-
ses, in honor of the day. The time for
a glorious celebration is now truly op-
perfume. Never more so, since the or
ganization of the Government Our
Country has recently passed through an
ordeal that fully tested her powers. Our
fears as to the issue have passed, she re-
mains firm as the crock of ages" and
even moro strongly, than ever, entrenched
in the affections and confidence of her
twenty millions. Let us have demon
stration worthy of the day; universal
Interchange of gratulations that the her.
itage of our fathers is yet vouchsafed to
us-that the yotaries of fanticism and
blind zeal have been signally rebuked,
and that the great community of States
Is yet perfect in all its parts.

WILD Man OF TIE WooDs.-A piuantic
man of the woods has been discovered in
Greene county, Arkansas, and party has
been organized to endeavor to catch him.
When last seen he was pursuing herd of
cattle, who were flying in a state of great a.
larm' as If pursued by dreaded enemy. On
seeing the party who discovered him he look
ed at them deliberately for short time, turn
ed, and run away with great speed, leaping
from twelve to fourteen feet at time. His
footprints measured thirteen inches each
lie was of gigantic structure, the body being
covered with hair, and the head long locks
that fairly envcloped his neck and shoulders.

except lawyers from being judges. He said
that he could not assent to any such con-
struction of the Constitution, more particu-
larly now that the people are to choose their
own judiciary During his term of Office he
felt called upon to exercise the veto power
four or five times; and if this action could be
Justly regarded as violation of his pledges,
he was obnoxious, but he would do so again
under similar circumstances. tie said that
these misrepresentation were made against
himself personally, in order to level, through
him, the great paty which had elected HIM
and it now rested with the people-whose
rights and interests he had endeavored to
protect-to say whether the attempt should
be successful Among other aspersions, some
had referred to his attachment and fidelity to
the great American confederacy. In reply,
he felt 1t only necessary to say that if he was
not faithful to the Union as it now stands, he
asked no man to give him his support
Frankly he would say that he held the opin-
ion that this government could never be dis
solved, and could not be endangered while
there was loyalty in the American heart
These were his opinions and he gave them
for what they were worth. He had never
met citizen of Pennsylvania who could con-
scientiously say he had been in fear of the
safety of this glorious Union. He did not
care why or for what purpose the cry ofdan-
ger to the Union had been raised. 1t was
wrong for any public or private citizen to en-
terrain even the apprehension. The Govern

discountenance any movement or opinion CAL

He did not care who was put in or out of Of
flee, it was a dangerous opinion that you can
dissolve this Union al any time, or under any
possible circumstances. There is no interest,
either civil or religious, that would not be la
mentally affected by dissolution of the I'm
ion. And here the Governor adverted to the
fact, that while this cry of dissolution was be-
ing raised, State upon State was busily en-
gagged In making arrangements for mutual lines
of public Improvements to convey an inter-
change of productions. You cannot, said he,
dissolve this Union, because you can never
get majority of the people to favor the prop
osition; and he asked why, then, should he be
expected to isolate himself from the great
mass of intelligent, and virtuous, and patriot
ic opinion The Governor spoke further, in
an impressive style, and listened was to with
profound attention throughout. Atth close
many and loud cheers were given for him as

Depreciation of Silver Coin.

We gather from the Paris correspondence
of one ofthe morning papers, that the silver
and gold money of Belgium is now totally
deprecated in France, and it appears that it
is refused in commerce, and even by stage
drivers. The cause of this depreciation is
attributed to a speculation made by King
Leopold, by which he has made seven mil
lions of francs. This speculation consisted
in adding more alloy than the usual quantity
to the five franc and twenty franc pieces, and
now it is said by the brokers and exchange
men that those coins Of silver and gold are
worth only-the first, four francs and ten
centimes, and the second eighteen francs
So Americans should beware of Belgium spe-
De. Poor Belgium, we understand. is SO
much ruined, financially speaking, that bank
ruptcy is daily expected to occur. This un-
fortunate state of things must be attributed
to the rapacity of the clergy, who are the
richest and wealthiest people of the country,
and who have all influence with the govern
ment.

PetriFiee3 Corpse.

The Philadelphia Daily News says, that
Mr.. Nicholas Helyerson, undertaken, of the
Northern Liberties, had occasion short time
since, to disinter and open coffin contain
ing the remains of an elderly female. In
lifting the coffin from the grave, it was found
to be unusually heavy, requiring six men to
accomplish it. Upon the lid being removed
to the astonshment of all present, the corpse
was found to have been changed to stone
All the features were perfect as in life Ev-
cry vistage Of clothing had decayed, the body
having been several years in the ground -
This singular transformation is attributed by
Mr.. Helyerson, to the damp state of the EARTH
he also believes that the deceased had taken
considerable mercury which assisted petri-
faction. 1t should have been stated that the
body was inferred in one of the Kensngton
burial grounds.

The PardOnims Power.

We supposed that the opposion had de-
sisted from circulating falsehoods on this
subject about Gov. Johnston, but fnd
that we have not as yet a sufficiently bad
opinion of their political morality. We
take the following from the Philadel3,hla
Ledger of May II:
Burglar para'Oned Jy Gar. Johnston
Geo. W. Horner, convicted of several
burglaries committed in Delaware coun-
ty, the Chester Republican says-and
sentenced, at the May sessions of last
year, to undergo imprisonment of fifteen
years in the Eastern sPenitentiary, had
been pardoned. Some of the implements
used in his former operations are still IN
the possession of one of the magistrates
of Chester. The woman, who passed as
the wife of Horner, and was convicted
and sentenced to two years in the Peni-
tentiary for participating in his burgla-
rles, 1t is said remains in prison.
This statements entirely false. No
such person as George W. Horner has
been pardoned by Gov. Johnston, nor do
We know of any pardoned convict for
whom the above paragraph might posi-
bly, be intended. 1t is merely contemp-
ible falsehood, fabricated by an unscru-
pulous partizan sheet, and greedily seized
upon by the Philadelphia Ledger. whose
Editors appear as anxious as any in the
State to do injury to the administration.
We have frequently observed attacks
on both State and National Administrations,
in the Philadelphia Ledger and Dollar
Newspaper. Though pretending to be
neutral these papers are controlled by the
opposition, are used by them for the pur-
pose of making insidious assaults on the
Whig party. If our friends will not pat
ronize Whig papers, they should patron
lze notorious opposition prints, rather
than these treacherousn neutrals. Besides,
these papers abound in misstatements and
arr are conducted with very little ability
The Ledger's opinions concerning all
things, and several other matters" arc
less valuable than the gossip of

AN HONORABLE OPPoNENT.-The Sunburu
American, strong Democratic paper, pub
iished IN Northumberland county. contains
the following remarks about Gov. Johnston.
Honorable men among the political opponents
have grown indignant at the baneful false
hoods circulated about him, and have rebuked
his caumniators.
" As a private citizen, Gov. Johnston is a
gentleman of character and standing. As
chief magistrate of the Commonwealth, his
talents have commanded the confidence ofhis
OWL. perty, and the respect of his opponents.
