Horse ShOeing.


The following very exceedingly sensible remarks

the Queen of Englands lfe-guards, and author of
several valuable veterinary works. We commend
them most particularly to the notice OF every person
who has that valuable and almost Indispensable ami

very correctly characterized by Surgeon Miles as

The shoes of the horse should be of equal thick
ness throughout with fat ground surface as those
with high heels which asinine smiths make in imita-
ton of their are dangerously absurd The toe,
which ought to be raised is lowered, and natures
plan reversed, which elevates the point in order to
avoid distractions. The web should be wide and OF
the same width throughout instead of being pinch
ed in because the smith likes to the shoe we'll set
off at the heels This is both unphilOsophical and
detrimental it deceives the eye of and inj
the foot of the horse. The outer edge of the foot
wrests on the inner edge of the SHOE and the remain
ing width of the web pro- ects over the hoof; so the
master who thinks his horse has good open foot
only has to be proud of bad open shoe, which bott
conceals deformities underneath, and invites witt

A Serions Charge Of COrrUDtiOD

The New York Herald Of Saturday
publishes series of most important char
ges against some of the Senators. and the
Sergeant at Arms of the Senate of Albany.
They are based upon a Memorial from
Mike Walsh, of this city, which was or
Friday laid before the Senate, wherein
Mr.. Walsh, (now in Albany says
Il have come to Albany 10 lay before
you the accompanying documents, with
the request that you will act upon them
with that promptitude and good faith so
indispensiOly necessary TO eXonerate your
selves before your cons iluents and the
world. Astounding as will be the excite
ment produced among the masses of the
people by the publication of these strange
records OF legislative fnanciering and Off
cial depraYity, the only surprise that it
will excite in the minds OF those versed
in the morals of legislation, will be-not
that the crime has been commltted-buI
that the criminals should have been thus
induced to bear testimony against them
Selves
These charges are that an officer of the
Legislature, backed apparently by some
of the members of the Legislature, has
been attempting to levy black mail on the
reputed proprletors of certain gambling
houses in New York, by promising, thai
if certain sums named, were paid TO them,
a certain bill, then before the Legislature
should be stopped. The bill referred to
was intended by its title TO be for the more
elTectual suppression of gambling; and lis
passage or lis rejection, it is stated, is
made to depend on the fact whether the
required amount Of "black MALI would,
or would not, be paid. The persons ap-
piled TO were addressed as Free Masons.
The first paper referred 10 and laid be-
fore the Legislature is dated as follows.

arms of the Senate, and marked Conf

AIR. EDITnR:


Ii seems that some of the
democratic Editors at distance, have
construed the resolutions adopted bythe
last County Convention mplimentarysof
Gen. Cdss as an indication that the Cam
brla Democracy had abandoned their old
friend buchanan, toward whom they have
heretofore repeatedly evinced the most
enthusiastic attachment. This inferenfial
transfer of the affections of the mountain
democracy from Buchanan to Cass is not
authorized by the feelings Of the Cambria
democracy.
We admit the patriotism, and cherish
the highest regard, for the signal ability,
displayed by Gen. Cass in every situa-
tion he has been called to lill The Penn

PRESYDENTT4L.

In another column will be found COM
municalion on The Presidential question
The writer finds fault with certain papers
in the State, that have placed Cambria on
the list, for General Cass for the Pre=i-
dency, because The last County Conyen-
ton, that recently assembled, passed q
resolution complimentary Of his course in
the L. S. Senate. II is true that the is
sue of the Presidential question was not
al that time made, but at the same time the
voice of twenty-lour delegates represent
ing nearly all the townships in the county,
should at least be entitled to some respect,
as sign Of the times; and as all the coun-
ty conventions recently assembled in the
State have passed resolutions compliment
tary OF either Gen. Cass or James Bu-
chanan, our convention done nothing
more than It's duty. Gen. Cass and
James Buchanan each have numerous
friends in this county, but the signs in the
political horizon Significantly tend 10 the
belief, that there will be three distinguish
ed Democrats in the field for the nomina-
ton, for The next campaign.
LEWIS CAss, Of Michigan, occupies a
high place III the affections of the Ameri-
can Democracy, his popularity is moi con-
fined merely TO his own State, but has
spread over the length and breadth of the
land; his course as a United States Sena-
tor has received the appreciation of all
true members Of the party, and elected
much praise from Henry Clay and other
great guns of the whig party. He is ma
tionaI in his feelings, thoroughly demo-
cratic IN his actions, and as the vote Of
Pennsylvania during the campaign of
l94S defeated him for the Presidency, il
would be no more than even handed ;us-
ilce that her vote in 1852, should elevate
him 10 the highest office in the world.
JAMES Buchanan is Il native of the
keystone State, and is a man in whom
the Democracy have confidence, and we
accord TO him all the merited applause
that his patriotic course so justly entities
him 10. During the last twenty wears he
has been hOnored with several public sta
tlons; he has filled them with dislinoujsb
ed credit, and as Secretary of State under
the glorious administration of the Iamen-
ted Polk, added unfading laurels to his
brow. We are not one of those who
through the spirit of malice "ungra,eful
and mean," seek 10 aieniate the feeling
OF the Democracy from him. Although
not favorable. 10 his nomination for the
Presidency, we shall oppose him on
honorable grounds, and if nominated,
there is no one who would endeayor

Extreme suffering among the Indians.
The St. Paul Chronicle, published at
the Capitol of Minnesota, states that the
Indians above Crow Wing are enduring
extreme suffering, and that many have
Perlshed from starvation. Those who
know the facts have estimated that be-
tween five and seven hundred of them
have died from prIvatons. 1t is reported
that the chief, Holein-the-Day, TO whom
they applied lately for advice, recommen-
ded them TO acts of violence-among the
rest, TO break into every house in which
provision could be had, and take forcible
possession of them. A delegation of
Chippewa chiefs had arrived al ST. Paul,
with view to lay before Gov. Ramsay
the distressed condition of the nation, and
to ask relief.
The situation OF the Indians in the
lower countries, is represented as peacea-
bic and prosperous.
