The Laborers on the State Canal.

Some years ago, when there was whig
State Treasurer in Office, the locofoco pa
pers raised hue and cry over the whole
State that the supervisors could not get
money from the State Treasury TO pay
their hands. TO such an extent was this
system of detraction against whig officer
carried, that the Legislature Instituted an
inquiry into the matter, and after careful
investigation, eXonerated him from all cen
sure. Well, how stands the case now,
when "democracy" has complete posses
sion Of all the sPiggots and bung holes of
the treasury All along the line of canal
there is great deal Of complaint of the
non-payment of claims and labor, and we
hear it on all sides ascribed to the State
Treasurer, who, it is alleged, refuses to
give supervisors the necessary funds
This may or may not be true; but one
thing is certain, Notwithstanding the i'm
Inensc expenditure of money on the pub
lie works during the past year-nearIy
taco nsjliions of dollars there are con-
siderable sums due Iaborers and others
which ought to be paid, Want of means
in the State Treasury can hardly be a sur-
1icient excuse, for the Auditor General states
that there was an available balance Oh
hand on first December, 1851, of $543.-
970, from which time two months would
intervene before the State interest becomes
due. We know not who is in the fault,
but whoever it is among the democratic
fold, let il be put on the right shoulders.

KossUTH's reception at Baltimore was
Of the most enthusiastic kind, and he ex-
pressed himself much pleased with his
visit On Tuesday he reached Washing
ton, and was received by committee Of
the Senate, who conducted him to Browns
Hotel. During the day Mr.. Webster paid
him an official visit, and on Wednesday he
was to have been presented TO the Presi-
dent.
kossulh's views are daily becoming
clearer, and by the time public opinion
will have examined them in all their bear
ings, we have TO doubt of the result, how
ever much the hot-headed and unthinking
may endeavor TO produce different one.
In his speech 10 the New York bar, the
following passage occurs:
" But may be ahswercd-' Well, if we Ohe

sion OF the interference of Russia in Hungary.

" Well, | am not the man to decline the conse-
Guences Of my principles. / will not steal into
your sympathy with slippery evasion. Yes,

seen the article, were frightened half out of

SAD OccURRENcE.-On Saturday morning last
Mrs Bridenbaugh wife Of John Bridcnbaugh,
of Sinking Valley drowned herself in the spring
run at John Wertss near this place The caus"
of the unfortunate occurrence was a derauged
state Of the mind, induced by the death of three
Of her children within the past year. She was
on a visit at the time, and had betrayed con-
dtion Of mind which put her friends somewhat
on their guard; but on the occasion referred to-,
she arose in the morning at the usual time and
stepped out of the door without exciting any
suspicious but not returning in few minutes,
she was looked after and found in the run, not
entirely lileless, but too far gone to be restored.

weather was succeeded by thaw, with

place within a few feet of the top of the

/ DARING BURGLARY.-The store OF John
! Kennedy was entered on Sunday night
| last, by some burglars boring hole thrugh
the shutter, and with the aid of some
instrument, supposed to have been a sad
dlers awl, pushing back the bolt. The
/ desk was carried TO an unfinished building
! on the opposite side of the street, erected
| bv the Odd Fellows for a hall, and there
broken open and portion of the contents
taken. A number of Promissory notes and
other papers belonging TO Kennedy q
Porter were found on the street next NOR
ming. The papers belonging to Mr.. Ken
nedv, which were carried of, are described
in the Democrat as embracing some proms-
sorv notes, a counterfeit $50 bill on Penn
Township Bank, from SIS 10 S25 in
counterieits on other banks, principally
Reading, or Berks county, together with
letters and bills, a certificate, No. %, is
sued in March, 1851. for six shares of
Water Stock, a certificate for one share Of
Stock in the Odd Fellows Hall Association,
and receipt for money paid to same as
sociation on account of subscription of
stock. They left $50 in small notes on
foreign banks, which in their hurry they
no doubt overlooked. 1t is thought they
will likely throw the letters and papers
away ; should any one find them he would
be doing an act of justice and kindness to
Mr.. Kennedy by forwarding them, as they
are of importance only to him.
Three persons were doubtless engaged
in this robbery-one probably boy who
worked for Mr.. John Davis, saddler, and
who disappeared on Sunday night, and has
not since been heard of, taking with him a
pair of Mr.. Davis boots, coat belonging
to man who worked in the same shoT,
and several articles of jewelry belonging
to Mrs. Davis. One Of the others las
since been arrested and bound over for trial
the third has left for parts unknown.

The inaugural Address.

Our readers will find this admirable State pa
per upon our first page, and we cannot do better
than invite for it careful perusal We adopt
the words Of the Lancaster Intelligencer, which
says:
Governor Bigler has done himself much
credit by this production-its matter and style
being equal to any thing OF the kind ever issued
to the public. The Democracy of Pennsylvania
may well be proud Of their talented and excellent
Chief Magistrate, and they may rest satisfied
that in elevating William Bigler to the Guberna-
torial chair, they placed the reips of government
in steady and careful hands
We predict for our new Executive a brilliant
career. The commencement of his administra-
ton angurs fayorably, and his talents and pa
triotism are sufficient guarantee that he will
be ''every inch Governor" and that, under
has guidance, our glorious old Commonwealth
will go forward prospering and to prosper

Honesty OF Printers.

At banquet given in cOmmemoration Of the
birthday of Benjamin franklin by the \. Y.
Typographical Society, Mr. Bigelow, editor of
the Ereaing Post, made the following singular,
and, to the craft, gratifying statement:-
lie said that he esteemed it an honor, at all
times, to appear as the representative Of the
Press. He esteemed it the more when he
joyed it by an invitation of the Society Of
Printers. One reason why he would make that
distinction he would state. Six or seven years
ago he had the honor of being appointed In
spector of the State Prisons at Sing-Sing. 1t
lay in the line of his duty to observe the ante
institution. He found there some nine hundred
persons, of every nation, of both sexes, of eve
ry color, Of all ages, except the very young,
who were exempt from prison penalty found
representatives of every grade of depravity, and
every denomination of crime, and representa-
tives of every imaginable business, art, and
calling of life, save one-and that calling was
the art Of printing. There was not in that in
stitution during the three years he was con
uected with it, nor had there been for quarter
of a century consigned TO its marble jaws a
single setter of1ypes. There were carpenters,
tailors, masons, shoemakers, accountants, bro
{ kers, doctors and yet there was not a printer
among them There were also lawyers there,
and he said it with modification, that one mem
| ber of that profession was now there paying
the penalty OF a crime for which be had not
tue poor apology Of poverty. And there was
also there a clergyman; but there was not, and
never had been, a printer. There was some
thing in the fact worth considering. By the
,,.ltt il maid Taa III
Y bulwarll OF the representative system Timl
would not allow him to speak of it as lie ceulc
wish. He was forced To conclude by simply
proposing, Tho memory and honor of tha
calling which is unrepresented in the Stat
Prison"

man named Thomas Laughlin was found dead
on tae Tunnel Hill, four and a half miles from

tne bone under the left eye also, giving evidence
'aat the blows must have been inflicted by a
manner. a man named John Martin has been

caused oy the difficulties between the Irish la

men, Cathohcs, like Lamenaus and Ftobertz and
Gioberti incurred the censure Of The Roman
Court; why the Archbishop of Paris round him
self in oppositionto It's policy,-and why the
majority OF the Roman Catholic Clergy Of italy,
OF Eomagna, and Of Rome itself, are hostile to
the temporal authority Of the Pope, and sympa-
thize nth Mazzini SO generally, that Of II con-
spirators, recently arrested for conspirine in f-
vor Of the Republic, against Austria. l6 were
priests belonging to the humber orders of the
clergy. They ere, in fact, opposed to the union
of temporal and spiritual authority, which de-
grades religious conviction into a pelicv sub
servient to despotism. They are opposed to per
secution and intolerance: and regard with ab-
horrenee the unnatural league with all oppres-
sing despotisms.
These are indeed things which every Catholic,
having only at heart the interest of his religion,
ought, with deep sorrow, TO view, and not allow
himself to be abused tool by individuals
who take the word ''religion' but to screen tn cir
private ambition with and whose motto is
"let the world groan in chains when we but rule
under the shadow of the Eagle of Russia"
Really, am sorry to have thus to speak But
once to do it, was q necessity. If it be indeed
true that amongst the Roman Catholics an oppo-
siton is got up against my cause, let them re-
member that in opposing me they oppose the
independence and freedom of millions Of Hunga-
rian Catholics, the independence and freedom of
Catholic Italy, Catholic half Of Germany, and
Catholic France: and in opposing me they are
supporting the Car, the most bloody enemy of
their religion they are doing the business of
Russian diplomacy.
