Kevstone Commonwealth, having deferred their

keystone Commonwealth, having deferred their
claims to a Presidential candidate to the appeal
of her sister States for more than half a century,
do now by an unprecedented majority, earnestly
and energcticaly assetr their strong and long
ferred rght to the honor Diminishing President
for the Union in the person of their feow-citizen,
James Buchanan. They have no second choice,
and they firmly believe that should he be noml-
mated by the Democratic National Convention
he will receive triumphant, old-fashioncd Jack
son majority in the Keystone State.
Resolued, That we present James Buchanan
as our candidate for the Presidency, with the
full confidence that the Democracy of our sister
States will concede to the Keystone State the
honor to which she has been so long entitled,
and which she has so long generously yielded.
That the fame Of our candidate, as sound
statesman, and Jealous advocate of republican
principles is not surpassed. He IS consistent
and uncompromising Democrat, an able defender
of the Jeffersonian doctrine of State rights, a
foe to the unconstitutional doctrine Of centrali-
cation; the advocate of universal suffrage-the
early, tried and confidential friend and adv,c"te
Of the immortal Jackson-the leading and sue
cessful opponent Of dangerous national monled
monopoes-the supporter of an economical ad-
ministration of government, the friend and pro-
moter of agriculture and commerce, Of domestic
manufactures and mechanics. The services OF
Mr. Buchanan, in the cause Of the party and of
the country, are recorded in the hearts of the
people, and we believe that in his hands equal
Justice would be awarded to all the great inter
ests of the country, and our beloved Union be
safe against the inroads Of foreign aggression,
and the dangers of intestine commotion.
Resolred, That the delegates elected by this
Convention be and they are hereby instructed to
vote for him from first to last and to Use all fair
and honorable means to secure his nomination.
| Resolped, That we congratulate our fellow
citizens upon the successful termination of the
late Gubernatorial contest the election of his

trate of the Commonwealth. has secured to the
people an able, enlightened, honest, and econom-

Ter to secure the asccndency of Democratic prin-
ciples during the late canvass: f"r eloquent
and statrsman-like discussion 'e the people
of the great national issues,v made the late
contest memorable and critical for the country,
and which conducted to the glorious result, the
Democrats of Pennsylvania and of the United
States owe him debt Of gratitude equally diff

ASenor Quesada, creole of Havana, Is said
to have invented a varnish for the protection Of
houses from fire. t;a 5f4ss5
On the 9th inst. for the edifcation Of the eisci-5
enti6c, two houses were burned upon the .Cann-
20 Mars" while one between them, and distant
two or three feet, covered with newly invented
varnish, was proved non-combustible, and saved
from destruction, although filed with material
which was consumed by the flames, and the ex-
terror enveloped during the condagration Of
some twenty minutes with an, unbroken sheet
of fire. * i''5 ~
Senior Quesada, has obtained considerabler
putaton from his results, but, he has COM
bined the discoveries Of two other persons IN
volving the material in varnsh instead Of paint,
thereby making decided improvement, as it can
be brought to the protection Of almost any arti-
Gle in a household without imparing beauty or
utility. e.
The experiment was on scale sufficient to
prove that, for the safety Of property from. a
thousand casualties of negligence or IMPROVE
dence in the use of lamps candles, matches or
fires the varnish is valuable, while in corninun-
mites where it might be generally adopted, it
would certainly materially retard the progress Of
the destroying element. (,

MARLBOROUGH CoURT-The Spring Termiof
this Court was held last week, his honor Judge
Whitner presiding. The most important case
on the Sessions Docket, that Of the State rs.
Barantyne, was saken up on Tuesday evening,
and occupied the Court until 2 o'clock on Thurs
day, when it was given to the Jury, who remain
ed in their room until Saturday, being unable to
agree on verdict, when they were called into
Court and discharged; after which the Solicitor
Mol Prosed the case, it being the second time
that mis- trial had been made. -,
We were not present on sentence day, but
learn his Honor felt called upon to mete out Jus
tice in pretty heavy doses, in the way Of fines,
imprisonment and the lash, remedies the most
likely to correct the evil habits of the vicious.
We learned last week much to our surprise,
that since Marlborough was made ajudicial Dis
trict, there has never been but ole execution in
the District, and that was of man innocent of
the offence for which he suffered. This was .
Mr. Boddiford, who under the galows protested
his innocence, which was confirmed many years
afterwards, by the confession under the gallows
of the principal witness against him. Since then
whenever culprit is brought to the bar of JUS
tice, poor Boddiford's ghost is always conjured
up to frighten the Jury out of verdict of gull
ty. with what success the fact above stated is
conclusive Cheraw Gazette. -,

CoUNTERFErTERs ARRRsTED.-Some weeks ago
caravan Of North Carolinians passed through
Columbia, offering for sale various articles of
produce, and purchasing clothing and other arti-
cles, for which they offered in payment paper
money. This was afterwards found to be coun-
terfeit. After leaving us they proceeded down
as far as Orangeburg, where the wagons and a
portion of the party remained, while two of them
proceeded to Charleston to prosecute operations
in the main branch of their business-the pas
sing of counterfeit bills. They re-appeared in
our vicinity on Saturday, when our indefatiga,
bic municipal police, cooperating with D. B.
Miller ESQ.,, made descent on the camp, about
four miles from Columbia. in Lexington district
at six o'clock on Sunday morning, bringing the
whole party to town where they were safely lod-
ged till yesterday morning, at which time they
had hearing. =
The investigation resulted in the committal of
two of the party, and the examination of the
balance is reserved for to-day. The following are
the names of those on whom counterfeit money
was found =
John d. Nelson, A. N Dixson and Geo. W.
Ray, of Ashe county, N. c., and Thomas Jeffer-
son Reins. alias johnson, of Carroll county, Va,
late of Ashe county, N. G.
The counterfeits were of the denominations Of
So, $40, 500, and 800 bills on banks in South

A letter from Havana to the New York Her
aid says: ~ have heard that new theory has
sprung u7 among the wealthy classes, and that
is that they will strive, by every means in their
power, to induce the American government to
purchase the island. Tley have come to the
conclusion that more expeditions would only
lead to civil war which the negroes would be
the most likely parties to derive advantage from,
and so they are all now for the sale of Cuba to
the United States"

1t was mentioned by previous mail, that the
British forces had advanced up the river, on
the 2lst and 22d Of September. They ascend.

the 9Th October, when they reached Prone
The deiences of the Burmese consisted of
long stockade on the edge of the hills on the
right bank, breastwork Of masonry on the
point, and guns planted on every position Of
advantage on both sides Of the river. So soon
as the squadron came within range, they were
fired on from all the points by the enemy; this
was returned by the steamers Phlegethon and
| Mnhanuddy, and by the rest Of the squadrons
as they came within range. In two hours ths
| fire OF the enemy was completely slenced.-
| As sharp discharge of musketry was still
kept up from behind the numerous pagadas
| which lay on the bank of the river, and the ir-
| regular portions of the ground where marks
| men could be concealed, the steamers came
| TO anchor, and commenced about noon throw
| ing shells, which speedily cleared the neigh
| borhood. As the heat of the day diminished,
preparations were made for landing. At ) P.

| They experienced scarcely any opposition-
On touching the shore they threw out skir
misbsrs and pushed rapidly up the hill, dis.
lodging the enemy as they advanced. The

BY 500 men; sharp but short struggle here
ensued; the enemy after receiving two or three
heavy yolleys, broke ard fed in all directions.
Al so late an he ur il was NOT deemed expe-
dent to attack the town. In the course of the
night the troops, in all amounting to about
5000 men, of whom 500 were seamen, were
landed; next morning they marched without
opposition in'o Prone, which had been aban-
doned by the Burmese. The total loss Of the
British was but five or six, notw withs standing so
much firing. 1t is said that there are about
5000 Bur nese, defended by strong stockades,
about six miles from Prone; and though the
opinion was that they might have been dis
lodged without the slightest trouble, General
Goodwin hesitated to proceed further without
reinforcements. The troops meanwhile were
housed within the town. Nothing was known
of the future plan of the campaign; but the
troops remained in good health and sprits.-
The war was considered TO be nearly over.
