On Monday last, r. L. Johnston, Esq, was
sworn in as Prothonotary, vice Vim. Kittell, Esq,

made most excellent Prothonotary, and more
gentlemanly, obliging, and correct officer, never
welded pen or administered an oath.
Harrison Kinkead Esq, was sworn on Mon
day to act Associate Judge of this County
for the ensuing five years. That he will fulfil
the most sanguine expectations of his friends,
and discharge the duties of his station fairly
and impartially, we do not doubt, having every
confidence in his honesty and capacity. He
takes the place of Hon. Philip Noon, one of our
oldest and most respected citizens, q gentleman
against whom not one unkind word could be
justly uttered, whose character as an Associate
Justice is worthy of appreciation and praise,
and whose strict integrity cannot be questioned.
The members of the Bar united in rendering to
Judges Noon and Murray complimentary sup
per, as an honorable tribute to their worth and
ability, which being accepted, was prepared on
Tuesday evening, by Mr.. Robert Carmon, in his
customary style of excellence, and relished by
all present. Judge Murray was unable to at

The Pennsylvania of Tuesday morning says:
% The Thirty-second Congress assembled in
Washington, yesterday at II o'clock, noon, the
two houses proceeding at once to the work of
organization, the particulars of which, rs well
as the proceedings of both bodies throughout
the day, will be found in the telegraphic column.
1t will be seen that the gentlemen placed in
nomination by the caucus of the Democratic
members of the House, on Saturday evening,
for the several Offices of that branch Of Congress,
were all elected, and by triumphant majorities-
The Speaker is the Hon. Linn Boyd, of Ken
lucky; the Clc.k, John W. Forney, Of Philadel-
phia: the Sergeant at-Arias. Adam J. Gloss
brenner, of York, Pa; tie Postmaster, Mr..
johnson, of Virginia, and the Doorkecper, H..
w. MeKnew, of the District of Columbia There
was no esatest except for Speaker and Clerk
Mr.. Boyd coming oSt with majority of thirty
four over all others, and Mr.. FoEaey exceeding
all his competitors by majority of fifty. This
handsome ratification Of the proceedings of the
caucus will be hailed by the rank and file of the
party throughout the United States as an ind-
Democratic family, and a glad omen of glorious
triumphs yet to come.
The Speaker elect, the Hon. Linn Boyd, is,
in point of service, the oldes: member of the
House, gentleman of enlarged experience and
commanding abilities. Profoundly Tersed in
all the minutia and formalities of legislation
gifted with kind heart and courteous manners,
a keen perception, dauntless courage and ready
command of his great intellectual resources, he

Capt. Jacob Ziegler,

The name Of the above gentleman is sugges-
tod for the Office of Deputy Secretary of the
Commonwealth. He is the able, efficient, and
popular editor of the Butler Herald, and as such
conducted himself during the late campaign as
q gentleman and soldier. A candidate for the
Legislature at the late election, he was of course
defeated in district that boasts of such tre-
mendous whig majority, but the increased vote
he received evinces the high estimation in which
he is held at home. To those wis know the
man his appointment to the above Office would
be hailed with pleasure, and the entire democ-
racy Of the state would pride themselves upon
it, satisfied that the situation could not be be-
slowed upon moro honest. upright, useful

The Hon. Philip Noon, of Cambria county,
having, upon the seventh ballot, received ma
jority of the Conference, declared duly cleo
ted Delegate to the next Democratic State
Convention.
At this stage of the proceedings the three
Conferees from the county of Cambria withdrew,

"Unkind and NIischievous.,

An article on the subject OF the PreSldency,
written and published by us some weeks since
has brought upon our head the maledictions of q
number of democratic papers throughout the
State. The "Genius of Liberty" paper pub
lished at Uniontown, Fayette county, under the
above head, in alluding to our statement that
"'the defeat of Hon. James Campbell was accom-
plished by the leaders of Gen. Cass forces in
this State" says, ''if in other counties Cass men
opposed Judge Campbell, we consider it mean
and contemplate to hold Gen. Cass responsible
for their conduct" The editor wilfully or ma
levolently misconstrues our sentiments. We
have too much confidence in the patriotism and
ability of Gen. Cass, and are certain that he de-
sires too well the union Of the democratic party,
to imagine that he is in any manner connected
with the defeat of Judge Campbell No such
charge has eUsr been brought against him by this
paper or By any other paper friendly TO the nomi-
mutton of Hon. James Buchanan, the assertions OF
The Genius and Statesman to the contrary notcith-
standing and ice dare them to the proof We are
confident that Gen. Cass would lend no aid to
dsorganization in our ranks, and if we remem-
Der Alright, in letter written by him to a demo-
sacrifice of all local or personal feelings enter
tanned against either of the nominees on the
State ticket for the purpose of securing the tri-
umphant election of all. In charging the lead
ing men of the Cass party in this State with the
defeat Of Judge C. there is nothing @-unkind, p"
nothing "mischievous," for it is a notorious
fact that Cameron, Cummings s. Co, assisted
by the Statesman and Bulletin were the means Of
defeating him, and they even add insult to inju-
~ by boasting of their ingratitude to the party,
and one of the al owe named persons publicly as
serted that "if he the occa sion of the defeat
ing Judge c. he would esteem it great honor"
To define our position in relation to this matter
we have only to say, that we cannot cooperate
with those men who have defeated Judge Camp
bell for the purpose of obtaining the vote of this
State in the National Convention for their favor
tie, and although we have never written a word
derogatory to Gen. Cass, and conscious that we
never will SO long as he continues true to the
democracy as he has ever been, We consider it
unfair, mean and contemplate, for the editor of
any paper to misrepresent our language for the
purpose of furthering his claims in opposition
to those of MIR. Buchanan. We hope that no
willing misconstruction may be placed upon the
above article.

before the country as matter Of eminent pro-
priety. In word, the Speakership was never
more wisely more worthily bestowed and its
power, which is as great the position is honora-
BILE, will, feel confident, be welded with j
purpose single to the Advancement of the public
business and the good of the country.
MIR. Glossbrenner, the Sergea ut alarms, filed
the same Office by appointment OF the last Con-
gress. He is citizen of York, in this State,
and the editor of the Gazette, the able organ OF
the Democracy of that county. He is gentle
man of admired talent and excellent deportme ut,
a thorough and faithful officer and without
doubt owes the deserved compliment of an
unanimous reelection to his unsurpassed fitness
for his office.
The same may be said of the Postmaster, Mr.
johnson, who has also been reelected without
serious opposition. Mr. Johnson is Eirgnian,
and bears an excellent reputation.
Mr.. McKnew the Door Keeper, is a citizen of
Washington, connected with the Globe Office n
gentleman of mild and amiable temper and un-
blemished character, and altogether such per-
son will give satisfaction in the place to which
he has been elected.

he is at present at the seat of government, and
will not see this paragraph for many hours after
it is given to the Philadelphia public, it may be
deemed unbecoming to speak at any length in
the columns of his own journal. We may say,
however, without transcending the bounds of
proprety, that his election to the Clerk ship has,
for many reasons, gratifed his friends beyond
measure; but that, desirable his office is, his
elevation to it is in wise regarded by them
with half so much pleasure as it is in that light
which exhibits it as vindication of his honor
and his character
1t is hoped that the prompt and peaceful or
ganization of the House may prove indicative of
a session harmonious in its action and useful to
the country.

The Malls,

At the present time, are ''sadly out Of joint" &"
Under the present arrangement the eastern mail
reaches US one day later than it should 1t ar
r.ves at the Junction in the evening and lays
over until next morning; reaches the Summit at

until after night. Some better arrangement
must be made for its speedy delivery here. We
believe the Stage Company are still under con-
tract to give us o daily mail, but if the company
do not intend to run line Of stages from Holli-
dsysburg to Pittsburg, they should certainly be
compelled to connect with the cars at the juno

now running from here to the Summit to leave
that place on the arrival of the eastern cars.

Sneaker of the Senate.

Gen. VIM. F. Packer, the Senator elect from
the Centre, Clinton, and Lycoming District, is
generally spoken of as the Democratic candidate
for Speaker of the Senate. Gen. Packer is no
new man in the State Councils, but one of long
tried experience, and perfect familiarity with
the intricacies of Legislation. His qualifications
are of an order that eminenty fit him for the dis
charge of the arduous duties of the Speakership,
and there is other member of the State Senate,
whose nomination and election to that important
station would be more universally acceptable.

ON THE DEATH OF MRS. LUCY W, CAMPBELL
BY WILD FLOWER.

Oh weep! the loved, the beautiful,
Is numbered with the deadl
The casket here We still still retain,
The jewel bright has fed
flushed is the sweet and gentle voice
That gladsome music breathed;
And rigid are those lips that once
A smile of beauty wreathed.
Dimm'd is the light that gaily beamed
Within those dreamy eyes,
That spoke of pure and joyous thought
OF love which time defes
CongeaPd the mantling blood that cours'd
Along those beauteous veins -
The lovely form, though cold in death,
Its beauty still retains.
But where the soul, that lent it charm!
That spoke within those eyes?
Faith points above the bright blue air,
Whispering, in Parsdisei
