rapidly improving and gaining in Importance
Mr.. S. White, one of the agents of the line at

occasions been prompt, energetic and decisive
in protecting the rights of Americans, and in
resisting the encroachments on those rights by
the local authorities here. In every instance
where complaint has been made to him, he has
with ready hand repaired the grievances, as
far as could be done. This being a new Consul
late, many difficulties must necessarily arise :
yet Mr.. oone has ably met and overcome them,
and believe in his official capacity he has Civ
en- entire satisfaction TO all Americans in this
State"

Mr. Abraham Westfall is injured on the head.

This sad accident casts a gloom over the COM
munity, and We can scarcely realize the fact thai
those industrious men, respected for their good
qualities by all, have so suddenly been cut off in
the midst of life of labor and usefulness and
taken from our midst. But so it is The pier

The cause of this frightful accident has no
mystery about it, The boilers we understand
have been in use for from twelve to fifteen years
and have for long time been considered unsafe
We are informed the boiler, which exploded,
was in n leaking condition on the morning of tn o
accident and entirely unfit for use Had new
boilers been provided by those having the pow

be made of other machinery on the road and

The Slave Case Columbia.

Iolce Ohcer Rldgely, of the Independent Po-
lice, firm ofZell & Ridgely, of Baltimore. was
the person who shot the fugitive slave Smith, at
Columbia, Pa, on the Doth. He was pursued
by an excited crowd from Columbia, and with
great difficulty succeeded in reaching Baltimore
He gives the following account of the transac-
ton: He says, that having arrested the negro.
he was surrounded by an excited and infurated
crowd of negroes, and in order to intim1date
them well the alleged fugitive, he drew his
pistol. The crowd continued to press upon him
l-endeavoring to rescue the negro, who also
made violent efforts to escape, and got his
(Ridgelys finger in his mouth. Having the
pistol in his other hand, under the sudden i'm
pulse of pain and excitement, he pulled the trig-
ger, and the ball passed through the body of the
negro, causing his almost instant death. With
great difficulty Ridgely escaped TO Shrewsbury,
and thence to Baltimore, where he is now seek
ing legal advice.
The negro, killed at Columbia was the runa-
way slave of MIR. Stansbury of Baltimore. Off
Ger Ridgely declares that the shooting was alto
gether accidental
The evidence before the inquest, held upon
the body of the cOlored man, claimed a fugi-
tive discloses the following facts Deputy Mar
shall Snyder, of Harrisburg, accompanied by
Officer Ridgely, of Baltimore, and Mr.. Stansbu-
ry, of Baltimore, arrived at Columbia the 29th
in pursuit of an alleged fugitive slave, whom
the latter claimed as his property. About o.
clock, in the afternoon, the party went to a lum-
Der yard, in the southern part of the town,
where they found the alleged fugitive engaged
in piling up lumber, and made an attempt to
arrest him A scuffie ensued, during which the
negro got Mr.. Ridgely's finger between his
teeth, and at this juncture the officer drew his
pistol, which, while the two continued struggling,
went off, and the ball passing into the negro S
neck, he fell dead instantly.
Ridgely was pursued by the police, but he
succeeded in escaping from the hotel where he
was putting up. Officer Snyder took the cars
for Harrisburg, where he was temporarily ar
rested But subsequently discharged without
an examination.
Mr. Fisher, the deputy coroner, held the In
quest The deceased leaves a wife and two chill
dren, having been n resident of this place abou
eighteen months
Ridgely, after escaping from the town, walk
ed as far as Monkton mills short distance be
yond the Pennsylvania line, where he took th'
cars for Baltimore.
The excitement here still continues, and it i
nositiyely alleged that the shooting was inten
tional and not accidental. Application ha
been made to the Governor to issue requisition
demanding the delivery of Ridgely for trial.

The Legislature.

The appropriation Bill had not passed the
Senate on Monday evening Several amend
ments made to it in the Senate, were non-con-
CURED in by the House, and it was sent back
1t was likely to pass on Tuesday, and the Legis-
lature would adjourn that day or yesterday.
In another part of our paper will be found the
Congressional apportionment Bill, which is now
law. This Bill gives to the Democrats IA
Congressman, to the Wings IL. Nearly all the
districts are largely Democratic, or overwhel-
mingly Whig. This district is sort of good deal
Whig consisting of Somerset, Huntingdon,
Blair and Cambria. We, however, feel perfect
ly satisfied, and intend pitching into the nomi-
nee of our opponents with the force of several
hrick-bats, and hope by the assistance of our
friends Traugh of the Standard, Lewis of the
GLOBE, and Roddy of the Visitor, to knock few

Mr.. CLAY.


The editor of the New York Knickerbocker
who recently paid visit to Washington, relates
this incident
Passing the National Hotel at two o'clock on
this bright and cloudless warm Sunday, we saw
a tall figure, clad in a blue cloak, attended only
by lady and child, enter coach before the
door. Once seen, it was n face never to be for
fotten. 1t Henry Clay. That eagle-eye
was not dimmed, though the great statesmsns
natural force was abated. We raised our hat.
and bowed our reverence and admiration our
salutation was gracefully returned, and the car
riage Was driven away. As we walked on, to
dine, we thought of the late words of that emf
nent patriot ':If the days of my usefulness
as / have too much reason to fear, be indeed pas
sed, l desire not to inger an impotent spectator
of the oft-scanned field of life. have never
looked upon old age, deprived of the faculty O.
enjoyment, of intellectual perceptions and en-
ergies, with any sympathy; and for such l thinl
the day of fate cannot arrive too SOON" On,
can hardly choose but drop a tear over such
remark from such a man."

WELL = AID.

cotemporary has only asserted an opinion
below, says the PeunSylyanidn that is acknowl-
edged by every sensible man in the country
We endorse the declaration, that the Democrat
ic party is destined to elect whoever is nomina-
ted by the Baltimore convention. Every pros
pect politics conspire to render the realization
of this opinion beyond doubt-and still fur
ther to establish the certainty, it is only
sary for the Democracy TO organize. We COM
mend the following to those who can doubt that
the Democratic party is invincible:
Of the triumphant election of the Democratic
nominee no one seems at all to doubt. The
sickening catalogue of blunders and crimes
'sins of omission and commission on the part
of the present administration has disgusted the
masses so thoroughly, that radical change is
universally demanded. And, whether the stand
ard bearer be the veteran Cass Douglas Bu-
chanan, Marcy, Butler Houston, Dickinson, OF
any other of the good and true patriots who have
been named i, is fixed as the DEGREES of fate,
that the '.ides of March," 1852, will witness
the Inauguration of an out and out Democratic
administration in the Capitol city, fer the next
four years.

The Mnine Liquor Law Again.

In the afternoon session of yesterday, says
the Philadelphia Argus, May /, the House resu-
med on second reading, the consideration of Mr..
Hart's bill restricting the sale of Intoxicating
liquors in this State. After considerable dis
cussion, Mr.. Fife moved to strike out all after
the enacting clause, and insert the original
Maine Liquor Bill. Mr.: OcNeil raised point
of order. The Speaker refused TO decide wheth-
er or not the motion was in order, and submitted
the question to the House A considerable dis
cussion ensued, when the motion was decided to
be in order-yeas 40, nays %. Much confusion
ensued, in the midst of which Mr. Leech moved
to adjourn, which was agreed to, and the House
adjourned.
