The Beginning Of the End.

Gen. Scott was defeated last fall, main
ly by the cry of the Locofocos that he
would appoint Mr. Seward and other free
soilers to Office, and put down the agita-
ton of the slave question was the object
of the silver gray leaders who opposed
and defeated Scott. Gen. Pierce was
held up as the Union Compromise can
didate-pledged to sustain both-and
show no favor to Disunionists, north or
south. The Pierce men denounced Sew
ard and all who opposed the Compromise
measures, as enemies Of their country
Well, three months Of the Pierce reign
has passed. That shows tina t his pledges
have been violated-that rampant Dis
unionsts, north and south, have been
awarded, to the exclusion of Union and
Compromise men. Indeed his favors have
been generally extended to the advocates
of the Nashville and Buffalo Conventions
This fact has become so notorious that
prominent Locofoco editors and individu-
ais, all over the country, are denouncing
him. The Union men Of the South, gen
erally,-the New York Democrat and
others north, join in denouncing his course.
Even in New Hampshire, at State Con-
Vention, Edmund Burke, late Commits
siOner of Patents, and editor of the Union
at Washington, offered a resolution CEN
suring him for having appointed Free
Soilers and Secessonist to office, to the
neglect of the National men of the party,
Even in the New York Legislature, Sen
ator Cooley, leading Locofoco, declared
war against him for holding Martin and
John Van Buren in regard, without ask
ing pardon for defea ting Cass in ls4s.-
This is the beginning of the end of three
months, but not the end of four years

Crawford County.

The Wings of Crawford County held ;
public meeting at Conneautville, on the
18th ult Hon. John w. Fanelly deliv
cred an able and pointed address, urging
the Wings to prepare for the coming con
test. The following, among other resolu
tions, were adopted:
ReSoEved, That we most cordially en-
dorse the nomination of our candidate;
for Surveyor and Auditor Generals, anG
Canal Commissioner. With such men as
MEYERS, Mcclure, and PAwNALL fol
standard bearers, even defeat would be
honorable. In them we recognize tha
honesty, integrity, and capability tha
should be the ruling qualifications il
those who are selected to fill Offices o
trust and profit They are alike diSting
uished for their intelligence and higt
moral worth, and should receive the sup
port of all good citizens and well-wishers
for the welfare Of our Commonwealth
and if elected they would discharge The
duties of the repective Offices for which
they are named in manner honorable tt
themselves and beneficial to the State.
Rcsolred, That we would respectfully
urge upon the people the Importance o
choosing legislators who are in favor O
the sale of the Public Works; believing
that such a course would be the best
methcd of getting rid of the oppressive
taxes which are now levied, and redounc
to the credit and good name of the State
In the hands of designing and unscrupul
Gus men, the State improvements have
been vast political machine, full oi
bribery and corruption, and it is higl
time that the people should be heard de
nouncing such an engine ofpublic villainy
and demanding an immediate remedy.

anticipated that by this road anthracite
coal will reach the city of New York in
the year of our Lord 1854.
1t is seldom that so large and respon-
Sible an enterprise is pushed with so much
energy and vigor result attributable to
the strong, influential willing, working
stockholders embarked in this important
and most valuable undertaking. The in
terest and exerti6ns bestowed upon this
object by the wealthy and substantial cit
liens of New York and their neighbors,
amount almost to enthusiasm, and betoken
bright future in the destiny of the Wy

The Sfnfn EnhNnrY.

We published few weeks since latter
from Mr.. Merriman, late Representative from
this county, explaining his position, and sus-
tanning the charges made by him against the
Canal Commissioners. But we come now to
the figures and facts. Before the Legislature,
and in his letter, he charges the Canal Board
with fraud, and spys that they 'defrauded the
taxpayers out of Sl50,000 in letting 26
miles of grading on the New Portage Rail-
road, by letting the work to favorites, when
as good men as are in the State bid for the
work that much lower 1t will be remem-
bered that locofoco committee whte-wash-
ed the conduct of the Canal Board, notw'th-
standing the evidence produced against them
was of the most conclusive kind. She an
nexed statement of portion of the lettings,
on the work referred to, with the amounts
at which the different sections were let, and
the bids thereon, will show the Tax Payers
of the State that the charges preferred by
Mr.. Merrman were too true. These figures
are taken from the published testimony taken
before committee of investigation, and from
part of the Legislative Record. Read and
ponder these facts:

Capture Of -Nrnkin-Hs Evacuation
and tie Defeat Of tie Rebek.-From the
same highly respectable and reliable
source to which we have been previously
indebted for important information from
China, we have received a copy Of pri-
vate telegraphic despatch received in
London, from Trieste, by one of the first
mercantile firms in the British metropolis:
The India and China mails have ar
rived, with advices from Canton to the
Goth of April, and from Hong Kong to a
later date. The capture Of the city of
Nankin by the insurgents is fully con-
frmed.
The Hong Kong Gazette of April %
confirms this information, and says that
the capture was effected on the 2lst OF
March It adds, however, the important
intelligence that the insurgents were sub
sequcntly compelled to evactuate the city,
and that on the 9th of April they were
defeated in an engagement with the I'm
perial troops about thirty miles south of
the city of Nankin.'
There was also in circulation, at the
closing of the Africas mails, report to
this effect-'Shanghae Abandoned The
information, however, was too vague to
produce much effect, for it was impossible
to decide whether Shanghae was 'aban-
doned' by European residents, by thepeo-
pie generally, by the Imperial forces, or
by the insurgents. The most probable
version seems to us the latter-or that
they had abandoned all attempts on
Shanghae after being compelled to evac-
tuate Nankin.-N. Y. Commercial Adyer-

The Memphis Express says the case o.
Spalding Us the Corporation of Baton Rouge
for damages; laid at $4,000, for the seizure
Of their " Floating Palace " by the authorities
Of said Corporation last Winter, for refusing
TO pay the usual circus tax, was decided by
the United States Circuit Court, at New-Or-
leans, last week, in favor Of the corporation.
The license set up by tke plaintiffs to naVi-
gate the waters of the United States, on Civ
ing security that The revenue laws would not
be violated, was considered by the court as
extending to vessels engaged in commercial
business only, and not to vessels like the
Floating Palace, used for the purposes Of ex-
hibitions.

Maine Law Vote,

On Menday, the goth ult., the people
of Michigan voted on the Liquor Law
question. The enactment is similar il
its provisions to the Maine Law and &
proviso was contained in it that it should
be submitted to a vote of the people, tc
be approved or rejected by them. From
the returns which we see published, We
judge that it has been carried by at least
$4,000 majority-many counties voting
for it in mass, and even the city of Detroit
giving 800 majority for it.
