sentence Of punishment upon an Irishman for
the preparation Of theft.
/" And is it upon the oaths Of thin two wit

Pat.

The Revenue from I.ioenses..

The Richmond Southern Era says that for
every dollar the dram sellers throw into the trea-
smy, in the way of taxes, they take out three in
the form Of criminal expenses in creating drunk
ards, knaves, and murderers, orphanage widow
hood, and poverty; all Of which are entailed
upon the people, and the costs of which they arc

Valuable Machine.

We see it stated that Knights celebrated steam
drill, for all the operations Of rock excavatiug-a
powerful machine, which has been in use in Mas
sachusetts and other Eastern States for the last
three years--has been introduced into Pennsyl-
yania. The experiments made at the Hurley
Ledge have demonstrated the ability of the ma
chine 10 drill 10 the depth Of upwards Of twelve
inches in an hour, through the hardest formations
truly great performance. An examination
of the steam drill shows it to be perfectly sim
pie piece of machinery; while the consumption
Of fuel in driving it is remarkably economical.

TO Baltimore from this city on Friday evening
last, bought ticket in the "grand consolidated

jointly paid $40. The drawing came of on Sat

An Addition al Reason.

The Hon. R. B. Cranston, who voted for Mr..
Webster in the Baltimore Convention from fret
to last, says the Convention was fairly conducted,
and that, in his opinion, the friends of Mr. Web
ster and Mr.. Fillmore are politically and morally
bound by its nomination and he states the fol-
lowing additional reason for his choice between
the two candidates:
81 shall support Gen. Scott, not merely be-
cause he ia the nominee Of the Wing party, and
because he is and always has been Wing but
independent Of ali party considerations, the ques
ton is between Winfield Scott and Franklin
Pierce. / know both of the candidates personal
ly, and have nothing TO say against General
Pierce; but, on the contrary, believe him to be
an honorable man. Still must say, and without
derogatiug from the character Of General Pierce,
that in my judgment General Scott is infinitely
better qualified TO administer the high and re.
sponsibe duties deyolving on the President Of the
United States than his competitor. | therefore
go for General Scott, not grudgingly, but most
heartily"

Steamboat Diaastera.

The Baltimore Patriot justly remarks on this
subject that if the law regarded recklessness as
crime, even where no disaster followed it, one
great security would be given to the public, in the
fear that even the most nconsiderate of steam
boat officers would feel in violating the law, and
thus subjecting themselves 10 personal punish
ment, though the boat was not blown up or burnt
up; but if the law, as it ought to do, should re-
gard as a murder the loss of life resulting from
such things as were done by the officers of the
Clay, and make the owners of the boat share in
the responsibility, we would not often have occa-
sion to lament over such disasters as that of the
burning of the Henry Clay. The personal secu-
rity, in addition to the personal interest of the
owners Of the boat, or those charged with the
appointing of the captain and other officers,
would demand that they make their selection of
officers with scrupulous care; and the officers
thus selected would not be apt TO violate the law,
or in any way to endanger the safety of their pas
sengers. Some such law as this would accom-
plish more good in securing passengers in steam
boats from hazard of explosion or fire. than any
law regulating the machinery or construction of
the boat. The man in command is the power to
control, and he should be responsible.

The PennayiYanian.

This paper is generally referred TO as the
"leading organ of the Democrats Of Pennsylva-
MIA" We observe that it is published by evil
liam H. Hope, for the propretor;" but the pro-
prietor" is not named. Can he and the editor be
one and the same? 1t is prevalent opinion that
many of the editorials are written in this city.
If so, then the editor and proprietor probably
both here.
Last Saturdays number says:
"The editor of the Washington Telegraph,
who came near fainting when General Scott was
called coward, daily calls General Pierce one"
This is simply untrue. But the Pennsylvania
of the above date speaks of General Scott as
follows:
He has been as quagrslsome as my 3oung mis-
tress dog;' as fond Of pouting as spoiled child ;
and as hard 10 control aeidn the bounds Of common
sense, and the usages of the department, as if he
had been a prince Of the blood, and this was he
reditary government"
And again
His correspondence with Marcy is monu-
ment Of has incapacig his ssLfshaess, his bad tenn
per, and his utter contempt for the civil authority"
So respectful an editor should be elevated to
the place of teacher of "the amenities

The Contrast-Not Comparison,

Our opponents revile General Scott because
Governor Seward a Freesoil Wig, supports him
but they get all the Froesoil aid they can, and
unfortunately but too often the greater portion
Of it.
They call the Wings Federalists, though in
such men as IngCrsoll, Buchanan, and hosts Of
others, they possess the greater portion of the
men who were once known by that title. OF
their own candidate, they assert that his father
received his political instructions from WASHING
TON, (who was Federalist,) and that his son has
adhered to his principles!
They speak of Galphinism and Gardinerism as
reproach TO the Wing party. The Galphin af-
fair was the payment of interest on a debt the
PRINCIPAL Of which had been paid by the Polk ad-
ministration, and to Mr.. Crawford, who, it is
slid is now partisan of their opn !! The Gar
diner claim, If fraud, was perpetrated on a
commission appointed by Wing administration
and which that administration is endeavoring TO
expose and punish. But they say nothing of the
more than three millions pilfered from the
treasury during Van Buren's administration, nor
of the Collins, DENLY, and other frauds perpe-
trated by friends of the Polk administration.
They speak OF Pierces heroism, which, if gen.
uine, and all that his friends claim, still leaves
him in insignifcance when compared with the
illnstrious Scott.
They speak of his craftsmanship, of which no
record exists that can be compared with the
talents evinced by Gen. Scott in every situation
in which civil services have been required of
him.
They speak Of his glorious and aristocratc an
cestry, for which they have to cross the ocean,
and search the records of the Percys! But the
origin of Scott need be traced no further, to
prove his nobility, than to the American cabin in
which he was born He sprapg from honest and
honorable american parents, and, instead Of seek
ing ancestral renoWn, the fame he has won rests
like halo upon their graves!
How can comparison be instituted between
two such men?
But our opponents are Democrats, and we must
consequently be Aristocras. This is simply FALSE.
A democracy is practical impossibility. The
name is false assumption borrowed from France
in its days Of anarchy and blood! The true
friends of the American constitution are REPuB-
LlcAxs; and, Judge them by what light you choose,
the Wings are the republicans Of our land. They
are the advocates Of peace, the opponents Of con-
Quest, the friends Of industry and Of labor, o.
the federation of all religions, OF education, o.
elections by the people, Of universal suffrage, anc
Of every principle that can test the'question o
true republicanism. NeO Hampshire and Sout
Carolina are not Wing States.

the Gathering az niagara.

Men will differ in their estimates of numbers,
where no certain data are attainable. Some es-
Inmates Of the numbers present at the Lundy' Q
Lane Celebration place them as high as l0O,OOO;
others as low as 10000. Knowing that such
gatherings are more likely to be exaggerated than
moderated, we'place it at $4,000. This gather
ing took place on the extreme Northern point OF
our lake frontier so that hardly 600 persons were
present from north Of line drawn due east and
west from the speakers stands. Then the season
was that of the wheat harvest along our Northern
frontier--the most hurrying time in the whole
year. No great cities were at hand to pour forth
their curious, idle thousands to swell the pageant
And yet the magnitude Of the gathering has
rarely or never been surpassed SO early in any
former Presidential campaign.
Nearly half the speakers on the ground, with
many hundreds of old soldiers and others who
shrink from addressing public assemblages, were
opponents of the Wing party in the last Presi-
Dental election. Among these were John ID.
Bradley, of Indiana General William Larimer,
ir, of Pennsylvania; Daniel r. Tilden, of Ohio !;
and Charles Quin, of Michigan, who supported
Van Buren, in l848. Others spoke who were for
Cass in that struggle. And all, whether Wings
or otherwise, spoke with the utmost confidence
of carrying their own States respectively for Gen
eral Scott. However Ohio might doubt New
York, or New York Ohio, or Indiana Michigan,
or Michigan Indiana, each felt morally certain
that their State would 60 right.
What we saw and heard at Niagara changed
our opinion with regard to Ohio. We had pre-
yiously considered that doubtful State; we now
confidently expect its vote for Gen. Scott 1t
would certainly have voted for him in l848 il
was proved Wing State in the vehement contest
Of 1874; we believe it is now Wing State, and
still more decidedly for Scott. We shall be dis
appointed if Gen. Scott does not receive in Ohio
$4,000 more votes then were ever yet given there
for any man, and 5000 more than can now be
given to anybody else.
Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Illinois,
look better than we supposed they did. We think
General Scott mast have two Of them, and may
have all. The following is our estimate of the
present probabilities Of the canvass

A Fair RefOrf.

The Ohio State Journal says: The Statesman
thinks the celebration Of the anniversary of the
battle of Chippewa and Lundy's Lane, at Niagara,
"patent trick, degrading to the character of
intelligent freemen." The British did not think
it in good taste for Gen. Scott 10 fog them so
severely during the war, and the Statesman, from
equally patriotic motives, thinks it degrading TO
remember those splendid achievements Of Amer
lean yalor.

Ere. Trade and ARE. traders.

In letter to the Ohio Wing Central Commit.
tee, dated the 18th ultimo, Gen. Leslie Coombs
says:
From the time Of Gen. Washington up to
1916, The principle Of protection 10 Ameican labor
was generally sanctioned in our system of reve-
nue., by discriminating duties, and even Polk and
Dallas were elected by fraudulently hoisting the
tariff flag of 1912 to the masthead Now, for
the first time, the black British flag Of free trade
is boldly hung out, and the past history Of the
standard bearers Of the locofoco Democracy, as
sembled in convention at Baltimore, proves them
TO be worthy of the position assigned them. Now,
for the first time in our history, do we witness
the startling fact of the English press, headed
by the London Times, the most potent daily pa
per in theIworld, taking sides in our party con.
tests, impudently attempting to dictate TO Amer
loan freemen
"They 60 for Pierce and King, against Scott
and Graham. Shall we submit? Shall we give
up what our Revolutionary fathers fought and
died for, and gloriously wrested from the naughty
King of England, or by bold, united resistance,
maintain our dear.bought liberties? Trusting
in Providence and a good cause, am for battle
now and forever-not doubling that our appeal
to the patriotism and intelligence of the people
will prove triumphantly successful.
again, if Pierce and King be elected, farewell
forever to all improvements of the harbors upon
our great lakes and the navigation of our rivers
Millions upon millions will annually be taxed
upon the sweat Of our faces to regulate and pro-
tect foreign commerce. Not dollar to facilitate
commerce among the interior States. Salt water
traffic will be decided to be constitutional but
fresh water repudiated as dangerous to State
rights, and volative of the resolutions of '9S,
