Questions.

Did Gov. Johnston ever say 10 the people
of Pennsylvania that he was opposed 10 pro-
aription and disposed TO follow in the foot
steps Of the lamented Taylora
Did he ever say that he was in favor OF
one term, and would not consent 10 run a
second term
Did he ever say that he considered The
Veto Power as One Man Power, as oppres-
sivo and arbitrary, and that he would never
exercise it to defeat the will of the peoples
representatives.
Answers.
He did say he loathed prescription, and
yet has ever been a most violent partisan IN
| office.
He did say ne was in favor OF one term
! and yet no sooner was he elected, than he
commenced bargaining and intriguing Il
secure a second nomination.
He did denounce the Veto Power as oil
arbitrary prerogative, generally used TO de
feat the wishes of the people, and yet he
has exercised it like a political trickster
stealing away an important bill in his pock
ct, afraid TO offend the compromise Wing
by openly ve,oing it, and equally afraid Il
offend the abolitionists by signing it-Un,on

A Western Judge.

A paper published somewhere out
West gives the following report of a
Judges sentence lately passed on a Grim
inal. Brumley was doubtless a hard
case :" but what kind of a case" the
Judge was, may best be detern med af
ter reading the following:

The.animaied universe, or living NOV

IDLY varied, rich, and beautiful, both in
their forms and motions. A fish never

some principle or form of mechanism
The infinitely varied forms of natural
objects, embracing animal, vegetable,
and mineral creation, are far beyond the
comprehension of any human being with
in the period of the longest natural life.
Able Hauy, oi France, spent his whole
life on the subject of crystallosraphy- -
the forms and relations of mineral sub
stances. The most finished human ar
chItect either in ancient or modern times,
though producing works to be admired
through ages. is mere point, wcll-uah
a dark speck, when compared with the
great Architect of the universe. When
compared with the vastness, the richness,
The beauty, the sublImity, the glory of
the architecture Of the heavens aud of

the structure of leaves, and microscopic
work OF ms, cls-human architecture is
poor indeed
While mechanism, in the broadcast
sense OF the word, has a stretch too far
and division too minute, for any hu-
man power, during any human life, TO
comprehend, the elements OF the whole
are entirely within the reach Of the child
OF five. or even of three, years old. The
most important element is the most sim
pie object of human obscrvalion-a SIM
pie three-sded figure, or equilalcrll lrl-
angle. Such figure every pupil in any
school Of five or five hundred scholars
may form, at least approximate, any mo-

by short series of short articles on
the subject of mechanism, an attempt
will be made to show the importance To
every human being Of familiar acquan-

fitness for practical exercises in the pii-
mary instruction Of every pupil the mo-

The News from Cubn.

The reports from Cuba of the butche-
ry of fifty Americans by the Spanish
authorities will be found in this number
of our paper. The report does not
state how these men came into the posi-
ton in which they were found; but the
probability is that they were a part OF
the force of Lopez, attempting to elude
pursuit after a defeat. This, with the
indignity offered to the American heg
by the Spanish in the pursuit OF the
American steamer Falcon, will create a
strong excitement in the public mind,
if it does not prove the origin of war
between this country and Spain. But
whatever may be the immediate result
of this affair, we fear it is the commence
ment of series of events which will
result in the wrestling of Cuba from
Spain and its annexation 10 the United
States. sil ssIeT , -

The mist and mistakes Of the tele-
graph having now blown away or
been corrected, we have an opportu-
nifty to see clearly and plainly the
results OF the late elections.
Indiana, as expected, has gone
Democratic.
Eight Democrats and two Wings
are elected to Congress; one Wing
gain. The new Constitution was
carried by majority Of upwards OF
10000, and the additional clause
prohibiting negroes from coming in
10 the State, by still larger m'iori-
ty.
In Kentucky, the Locofocos, for
the first time in 20 years, have elec-
ted their Governor. This result was
owing to the dissatisfaction Of many
Wings towards their candidate for
Governor, on account Of his strong
pro-sIavery sentiments, which caused
many Of them to throw their votes
for C. NJ. Clay, the emancipation
candidate. Powell, LocoIoco, is
elected Governor by about 500 ma
iority. The Wings carried the
Lieut.. Governor, and both branches
Of the Legislature.
In Tennessee the Wings have been
triumphant. They have elected
their candidate for Governor-ihe
present incumbent being Locoloco-
and they have elected a majority in
the Legislature, thus securing a Us.
Senator. In the Congressional dele
CATION they have made gain Of one.
In Alabama the Congressional
delegation stands as before. One
Union Wing, Langdon, has been
defeated by a States Rights, pro-
slavery Democrat, Bragg, and our
neighbor of the Statesman crows
Justify thereupon, though at the
same time chuckling over "Free-
soil triumph" in Ohio. But his limbs
are long, and his dress enables him
TO take an "extended" position.
North Carolina comes in right
side up. The returns appear to be
all in, though the official returns
have not been received. These show
Wing gaiS OF one Representative
lin Congress. The delegation will
probably stand 6 Wings and 3 Demo-
Gratis. In the last Congress, there
were 5 Wings and a Democrats.
The following are the members
probably elected:
Whigs-Clingman, Caldwell,
Dockery, Morehead, Stanley and
Outlaw.
Democrats-Venabls, Daniel and
Ashe.
Thus it will be seen that the re-
suit of the elections thus far has
been a whig gain, and the prospects
for the future are encouraging. The
Wings OF New York are united, and
the Wings Of Pennsylvania are ac-
tive and untiring. There is nothing
discouraging in the review oi the
past, or the prospects OF the future.

ton met on the Friday previous and

dance during the whole time was large,

we're present. The services were con-
Quoted by the Rev. Messrs. George,
Smith, Kelly, Of Ironton, Gatchel, oil
GalIipolis, and others Of the. regular
clergy, whose names have escaped our
recollection. The report of the Associ-
alton presents a steady increase OF
members during the last year, and a
more than usual interest in many chur-
ches. The next meeting will be held
near the residence of Rev. Mr.. George
Mr.. George Long justly received the
thanks of those in attendance for throw
ing open his house and providing !or
the large number who were present from

Cuban Excitement.
Pn1LApELpH1A, Aug. 25


There was a large Mass meeting
in Independence square last night, to
express Indignation at the proceed
ings of the Spanish authorities at Ha-
vana. Not less than 1000 persons
were present, Col. John. Swift-and
several others spoke in condemna-
tioa oI the proceedings at Havana.
Mr.. CadwaIader offered a se.ies OF
lengthy resolutions, justifying the
cause OF the Patriots, and Urging the
interference of the American Gov
ernment to prevent the occurrence
of similar barbariiies, and strongly
recommending the purchase of Cuba
from Spain: The meeting was very
enthusiastic.
We have accounts from New Or
leans, of the arrival Of the Empire
City, bringing dates from Havana to
the 18th. -
The steamer Vixen has also ar
rived from Pensacola, and although
bringing no later news, confirms the
previous, and gives some little addi'
tlonal Information. ..ns
Gen. Lopez had made a stand at
Mariel, where he had two engage
menis with the Government troops,
in both Of which he had been victo-
rious. The Spanish loss in killed and

II is expected by practical farmers
and by the friends Of Agriculture
generally, that the State Fair which
is TO taks place in Columbus, will be
the best thing of the kind that ever
occurred in the State. The people
of Columbus are being wakened up
to the matter, as is shown by the
following article which we take from
the State Journal:
"The Executive Committee Of the
Ohio State Board of Agriculture
have made the following appoint
ments in relation to our coming
State Fair, viz: Lurian Bu;tles, Su-
perintendent Of grounds; Col. A. w.

Superintendent of mechanics and
manufacturer hall; James Lenox,
Superintendent Of machinery requir-
ling power; ]. NJ. Westwater, Su-
perintendent Of Domestic Hall; B.
Blake, Superintendent. Of Horses
The Superintendent OF Cattle is not
yet appointed.
"The Fair grounds. embracing
about 35 acres, are rapidly prepaF-
ling, and when completed, they will
be better arranged and prepared fol
the purposes Ol the Fair than any
grounds ever before occupied fol
such purpose in the country.

THE LOPEZ ExPEDTTIoN.-CretD OF
the Pampero.-A New Orleans cor
respondent Of the N. Y. Herald gives
the following particulars of the Lo-
PEI expedition and the character .!
the crew Of the Pampero.
"They were all picked men, and
included $50 Spaniards and Creoles,
w.,o have all lived in Cuba. They
are under the command OF a young
Creole, Of Porto Rico, of the name
OF Goday, stout fellow, seven feet
high, and full Of energy and decision
OF character. General Pragay, the
distinguished Adjutant General, Of
KIapka, at Comorn, who has been in
forty two battles, and is a most skill
ful and gallant officer, goes with Lo-
pez as second in command. There
are also twenty Hungarian engineers
in the party. The other officers are
Col Crittenden, late Of the army, a
nephew Of the Attorney General, who
has immediate command Of an artill-
cry company; Col. Dollman, Of Geor-
gia, who served through the Mexi-
can war; Major J. A. Kelly, who
served in FIotida and Mexico, and
who once edited leading Wing pa
per in the State; Captains w. Scott
HAYNES, A. J. Daley, and others
whose names / do not remember.-I
There are FIVE hundred rank and file.
"The Pampero is commanded BY
Captain Lewis, who directed the
Creole so successfully in the Carde-
mas expedition, He is true, gal
liant fellow, and an admirable sailor.
She is fast and will run ahead of any
of the war steamers. In case Of an
attack she carries graphing irons to
close in with hen antagonist, and
board. In a melee, the bowie knives
would prove effective in the hands
that will WELD them.
We expect 10 get the first news Of
the PamPero by herself. The Span

We have private information that the
survey of the different routes proposed
for the Virginia Central Railroad to the
Ohio river, has been completed, and
that the opinion Of the Chief Engineer,
predicated upon this survey, is that the
roue from Covington, via White Sui
phur Springs, down GreenbrieE to New
river, thence down the latter stream to
Kanawha, thence down the Kanawha to
the Ohio river, is the best and most
practicable. The result of these sur
veys will bo laid before the next Legis-
lature in a report on the subject, we
suppose, and the action Of that body in
regard to the road, will be governed by
