The New Portage Road.

In another column will be found the proceed
ings of the House Of Representatives, in refer
ence 10 this important work, showing appro-
priation of fS40O, ,000towards its completion. The
propriety of making double track cannot be
doubted, as it is conceded by all practical men
that a road across the mountain with heavy
grades, having but a single track, would be an
intolerable nuisance. The present new road
looks more like cow-path than a railroad but
the increased width necessary for double track
will give it fairer proportions. The Senate
should concur in the appropriation as made by
the House and have the new road constructed
without any unnecessary delay, for it seems i'm
possible that the present Portage canlast longer
than year more, without being re-laid with
new Iron. The Appropriation Bill makes pro-
vision for paying the back debts on the public
works, and when this is done, the Canal COM
missioners intend to mako Cash Payments, in
al future cases, if the appropriations are sufi =
cient. A change 'devoutly to be wished for
This Bill will no doubt pass this week.

The Dem Houze

The Harrisburg Keystone says, ''we were
scolded no little, publicly and privately, for in
tmating in the Keystone, in the early part of
the session, that although o majority of the
members of the House were elected as Demo-
Gratis, every Wing measure that was pressed
would command majority of votes, and we
doubted whether any Democratic measure would
prove so fortunate We made no defence to all
this, for we were too well convinced that the
House itself would vindicate us and in the end
prove that our suspicious were well founded -
Look at the vote chartering the Mauch Chunk
bank. And observe closely the vote on every
other new bank bill that comes up. Tell us,
then, whether the House is Democratic in fact
or only in name Look again at the numerous
extravagant acts of incorporation of every i'm
aglnable hue that are PASSED. Look at Cover
nor Bigler's glorious Uetoes and then tell us
whether we wronged this Democratic House by
the intimation referred to. 1t is high time for
The Democratic masses to take this matter in
hand, and elect representatives who will not
vote for Wing measures. We shall use our best
endeavors at all times to lay before them the
yeas and nays upon all questions involving party
principles, that they may know who are faithful
and who are not, and if they re-elect those who
have failed in their duty to the party which
elected them, they shall do it with full knowl-
edge of the facts"

Arrival of ISossuth.
the House
WASHINGTON. Am

WASHINGTON, April IA.
Kossuth's return creates no excitement He
arrived without noise, and will depart without
confusion. He has been quite retired since his
return. Numbers of Senators and Representa-
tives have called upon him. His desire is to
see Henry Clay again, after which Kossuth leaves
for New York. That desire he was unable to
accomplish. Probably he will be more success
full tomorrow, when he will depart
The government is prosecuting the forgeries
of the Mexican vouchers with extraordinary dill
gence. William r. Brown, of Michigan, is on
trial in the criminal court; the Hon. A w Buell.
of Detroit, is his counsel
The mechanics and laborers on the extension
of the Capitol, resume work tomorrow.
The Texas bond holders met to-day: they an

take what Texas offers, and bide their chances

The Public Printing.

The attempt has been made to deprive A.
Bovd Hamilton of the Public Printing at Wash
;ngton. We consider this coup de 'etat of the
committee on Printing as unfair, and fragrant
act of Injustice towards the contractor We are
in iebted to Mr. KURTz, NJ. c., from this state for
a small hand bill published by Mr. Hamilton in
reply to the resolution introduced into congress
to deprive him of the printing, in which he states
that he has not neglected or delayed the work
entrusted to him, and if this is true, as we have
no doubt it is, we cannot conjecture why this
prescription of the man who discharges his OBJ
legations should be allowed to proceed. From
his pamphlet we also make the following extract
and from the fact of our having been through
his large establishment, We are of the opinion
that he can do what he says
''The contractor has invested more than $50,
900 to fulfil his contract; he has the best and
only establishment in this city for the promp'
execution of the work; he has one hundred op-
eratives in his employment, practical and expe-
rienced persons, and he is fully prepared at all
points to execute the public printing; he made
his bids in good faith, at low rates; he has not
met with the consideration due to one who prof
fers through his economy and labor to work
cheaply for the public, on the contrary he has
encountered On opposition unjust and ungen-
erous as ruinous. The very economy of his
bids has been alleged as crime His means
have been slandered, and his credit impaired

PennsyIyania and Ioyya.

We have just examined a map, showing the
line of railroads which are completed and pro-
jected (and some under contract that are de-
signed to bring the States of Pennsylvania and
Iowa into close, and we trust perpetual union,
with the exception of twenty-five miles, between
this city and Pittsburgh. We find that by the
lst of May, we shall have continuous railroad
to Chicago, in Illinois, which twenty years ago,
was military post, but has now 40, 900 inhabi-
tants. From this point railroads are making to
Dubuque and Davenport, in Iowa-to Cairo at
the mouth of the Ohio; and the bill lately pas
sed by the Senate, through the influence and
energy of Senator jones' of Iowa, granting one
and half millions of acres of land to that
State, for railroad purposes, Gf passed by the
House of Representatives,, will make a contin-
uous railroad to Council Bluffs, on the Upper
Mississippi, with branches to Keokuk and Du-
buque intersecting the main line at Iowa City
Any one who will examine the map, will see the
vast extent of country which will be brought in
to use by these improvements, and may possi-
bly, form some idea of the trade and travel which
will ensure to the benefit of our city and State.

Mr.. Clay.

The Washington Telegraph says The many
conflicting accounts sent off from this city, rem
der it not a little embarrassing to those who are
here to satisfy the public mind respecting the
true condition of the health of this gentleman.-
Mr.. Clay is feeble, and subject to frequent chan
ges, generally produced by the varying weather.
he passes most of his hours in the day in sitting
up, or prOmenading his chamber. 1t is only oc-
casionally that he is obliged to keep his bed in
day time. When the weather continues favora-
bic for any length of time, his improvement is
always very manifest. We entertain the hope
that, with the continuance of good weather for a
number OF days, he may deem it prudent to en-
JOY the balmy breath of spring in his carriage,

4 Thing Much Needed.

Application has been made from this county
TO the Legislature for the passage of bill au-
thorising two weeks com; every three months
instead of one week, as at present The vast a
mount of commonwealth business which at the
last court occupied an entire week, renders this
change necessary, and the people wish it. We
learn that the bill is opposed, by certain gentle
men not residents of the county, on the ground
that the weeks specified conflict with their courts
We would say to them that we desire bill made
to suit the Cambria lawyers, and if it interferes
IN any way with your courts please have your
present arrangement altered to suit you. We
desire no interference and viii not brook il with
inpunity.

The weather.

Horrible roads-mud afoot deep-every body
stays at home-nothing doing-are the conse-
quences of rain, rain for weeks. Much damage
must result from such continual rains, and we
hear that the Pennsylvania Railroad, near Johns
town has been partly washed away by the food.

also one over the Shenandoah. The Sun has
not been in these parts for nearly month

return TO her maternal duties -
