HOMIE ESTEAD BILL.

We return thanks to the Hon. Galusha A.
Grow, NJ. c., from this state, for copy of his
admirable speech upon the above bill Mr..
Grow is one of the youngest men in Congress,
and we direct attention to the following conclu-
sion of his eloquent remarks -
''But in new country the first and most i'm
portant labor, as it is the most difficult to be
performed is to subdue the forest, and convert
the lair Of the wild beast into home for ciyiE-
zed man. This is the labor Of your pioneer set
Tier. His achievements if not equally brilliant
with those of the plumed warrior, are equally,
IF not more, lasting. His life, if not at times
lexposed to great hazard is still one Of equal
danger AMI OF death. 1t is life of toll and
adventure, spent upon one continued battle field
unlike that, however, on which martial hosts
contend-far there the struggle is short and ex-
pected and the victim strikes not alone, while
the highest need Of praise crowns the victor
Not so with your hardy pioneer. He IS oft cal
led upon to meet death in a struggle with fear
full Odds while no herald viii tell to the world
the unequal combat. Startled at the midnight
hour by the war-hOOp, he wakes from his dreams
to behold his cottage in tames-the sharer OF
his joys and sorrows, with perhaps tender In
fant, hurled, with rude hands, to the distant
council-fre. Still, he presses on into the VII
derness, snatching new areas from the wild beast
and bequeathing them a legacy to civilized man
And all he asks of his country and his govern
ment is, to protect him against the the cupldltJ
t of soulless capital, and the iron grasp OF the
speculator. Upon his wide battlefield these
are the only foes that his own stern heart anc
right arm cannot vanquish. While, then, the
shield of this Government is thrown over the
moneyed interests of the country, fostering By
your protective laws its associated capital, with
hold not justice from the men who go forth
single-handed and alone, to subdue the forest
tame the savage and the wild beast, and prepare
in the Wilderness, home for science and path
way for civilization.

Brr. Buchanan and the Presidency.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The chances of Mr..
Buchanan as the Democratic nominee, have
wonderfully frightened of late. His friends in
this city, embracing many eminent politicians
both in and out Of Congress; are now confident
that he will be the nominee ON the second or
third ballot.
nea-The above, which we find in one Of ouI
exchange papers, is confirmed by our advices
from every quarter. That Mr. BUCHANAN is the
choice of a majority of the Democracy of the Uni
ted States, is matter which in our mind ad-
mits of no doubt; and we confidently believe that
he will receive the nomination of the Baltimore
Convention. With such man as Mr.. BUCHAN-
AN in the Presidential chair, We viii have one Of
the strongest administrations the country has
ever been blessed with-Iitts. Post.

Great Fire at Paducah XIV.

A large fire occurred at Paducah on Saturday
morning. Forty buildings were destroyed, and
the loss is estimated at 100000 over the insu-
rance. The fire originated in the Livery Sta
bic of ]. G. Cole, and soon communicated to the
Haywood House on the north and several frames
on the south. The buildings of the Branch
Bank were entirely consumed; the fate of the
money, sc. in the vault is yet unknown. The
Democrat office is uninjured, the Journal Office
sustained no damage except that caused by the
hurried removal; during the fire, thieves were at
work but their depredations were soon suspended.
The town is mass of ruins.

Abolition of CapitaI Punishment.

In the House Of Representatives of Pennsyl
vania, on Thursday last the following bill pas
sed by a vote of 46 to "a. This bill, if it be-
comes law, virtually abolishes Capital Pun
ishment, and is one of the most important mat
ters acted upon by the present legislature:
SEC. l. That no warrant for the execution of
any convict by hanging shall be issued within
one year after the sentence of death shall have
been passed, and, that after that period if no
circumstances shall come to light to render
doubtless the correctness of the verdict of the
jury in the matter, the Govergor shall then issue
his warrant for said execution. ProUided, That
from the time Of conviction to the time of exc
cution, the convict shall be confined in 4 PEN
itentiary OF the Commonwealth as is now pro-
vided by law for the safe keeping of convicts.
SEC. 2. That upon the rendition of any YER
diet Of guilty of murder in the first degree
against any person charged Herewith. in any
Court of this Commonwealth, it shall and may
be lawful for the jury rendering the same, in
their discretion, to recommend the person or
persons so charged and convicted to the mercy
Of the court and every person duly convicted
Of murder in the first degree, whom the jury
so conyicting shall recommend to the mercy of
lhe court, shall be sentenced to undergo an i'm
prisonment in one of the State Penitentiaries
as the case may be, and to be kept in separate
or solitary confinement at labor, for a period
not less than twelve, nor more than fifty years

The Obstruction Law RepeaIed.

On Wednesday last, the House passed the
Senate bill to repeal the law which prevented
the keepers of prisons in our State from receiv-
ing within the walls of the prisons fugitive slaves
This was the celebrated law that Gov. Johnston
kept in his pocket during the whole of last sum
mer, and vetoed at the meeting of the present
Legislature. 1t passed the House by vote of
SO to 27, several Wings voting for it. We are
pleased to witness this result, as demagogues
have used this bill long enough to suit their own
vile. purposes. This is another evidence that
Pennsylvania entertains proper regard for the
rights of their Southern brethren and will throw
no distractions in the way Of their reclaiming
their property.-Har Union.
