Triumph of the Demordcy-Ecerything all

The cheering news from Maine, which we
published in this mornings Times, has Great
ed thrill of joy among good and true men
wherever it has been received,
The victory has been signal and glori-
Gus one. 1t was contest between Patriot
ism and Fanaticism, and has been one of those
trightful conflicts which ensue when these
powerful antagonists come together; but the
result has been the same in this as it will be
in all other similar instances in our blessed
land Patriotism has triumphed!
The seeds of disunion and intolerance which
were spread broadcast upon the generous soil
of Maine, and which were expected TO fructify
under the benignant smiles of such midnight
luninators as Wales, Chase, and Giddings,
of Ohio Hale, of New Hampshire Wilson,
of Massachusetts, and a host of lesser and
worser lghts-these seeds turned out to be
rotten seeds, sown among tares, by wicked
husbandmen, and accursed with the blight of
heaven. Even the blood of the martyr Rob
bins could not cause them to germinate.

reason to calculate upon, although we placed

Ne An interesting case is now going on in
the Mercer Circuit. The Central Bank at
Hightstown vsI Enoch Middleton, to recover
on note discdruted by said Bank, and pip
nounced byathd defendant to be forgery. 4
The forged NOTES were drawn by the son-in-law
Of the Defendant, and have reached the enor-
nous sum of $4,000 The son-n-law went to
California, returned in bad health and died
Before he died, in an affidavit taken by the
parties, he confessed the forgeries.
We find the above paragraph going the
rounds of the press in this State, and copy it
for the purpose of correcting an error into
which many have fallen in reading it. 1t would
appear that the Central Bank at this place
had lost the entire amount of the forged notes
$50 000-whereas the forged notes discount
ed at the Bank amounted to but ST, 800 The
Central Bank is at this time one of the sound
est institutions of the kind in the State, having
paid since its organization dividend of five
per cent. every six months. 1t is considered
by all acquainted with its affairs, to be in the
hands of careful, intelligent and capable men

THE WEATHER.

Owing to the severity of the weather last
week, our shore became so lined with ice as to
prevent the steamboats, running for several
days, thereby completely cutting off our inter-
course with New York. In consequence OF
this weswere unable tosprocure our paper, and
had it not been for Bro. PHARo, who kindly
loaned US enough for our issue, we would have
been in sad fix.
The mails north and east were not received
for several days, which is an occurrence that
has not taken place for many years.
We believe the Amboy Boats first succeeded
in making trip On Monday last we obser-
we'd several Of oar Key Port and Bed Bank
neighbors at {he Depot d. their way to New
York, from which we infer that their boats
were not running at the time.

EXTENSION OF THE PHILADELPHIA AND TREN-

of City Councils of Philadelphia. to extend their
Railroad from their depot on Elm or Harrison
streets, along Front to Laurel ST.; thence
along Laurel street, or any street north of said
Laurel street, to the intersection of German
town road and New Market street; thence
along said New Market street., by single
track, to be laid in. the manner best approved
and most suitable for the purpose, to connect
with the Northern Liberties and Penn Town
ship railroad, and to use and employ the road
thus extended under the provisions Of the
charter, provided that no locomotive engine be
allowed to enter or pass along the said road,
and that no train shall exceed the rate of six
miles an hour. Plila. Ledger

COLLEGE STUDENTS. Rev Dr. Mclean, in
an address at Trenton last week, gave some
interesting statistics in relation to collegiate
education, from which we learn that New Jer-
sey, with population of $50, 900, has not over
200 young men in a course of college training.
Also, that notwithstanding the prevalent be-
lief that SO many young men are ruined at col;
lege, the fgnres show that not more than one
in fifteen of college students are thus ruined,
while one in four of those who engage in mer-
camille pursuits in our cities is lost, thus show
ing that though some students at college turn
out badly and disappoint the hopes of their pa
rents yet it is far safer to send young men to
a well conducted literary institution, than to
expose them to the temptations of city life.

SOMETHING NEW.

DIR. r. s. LAMBERT Of Peekskil, New York
has presented to the Legislature of that State,
memorial, praying the appointment Of Com
missioners TO report at its next session, upon
the best means Of stocking their. waters with
fish-the kinds best adapted to that purpose,
and such other facts as may be deemed useful,
in relation thereto.
The new York Teacher publishes this memo
rial, and we should like to copy it, but its
length is such as to prevent our doing so.-
From perusal Of it, we are inclined to favor
the project, believing that it will prove source
of great wealth to the people of that State,
inasmuch as they have just the facilities for
doing it, and, as the memorial states, there
is no animal so easily produced, SO cheaply
kept or grown, as fish, while it affords one Of
the most wholesome kinds Of food" Wemake
the following extract, which, although by nc
means the most important, yet is the only one
we can give; without destroying the connection
From this it will be seen that the experiment
has been successful and beneficial in other
countries -
| Production OF FIsH.-A thousand
years ago and more, many of the igno.
rant (?@ Chinese, made the production
Of fish means of living; scientific men have
often demonstrated that but little. care is
required TO obtain and hatch the eggs Of
fish. Lately much has been done in France
and Great Britain. in tne way of stocking
the waters with fish, and the operation is
found to be very simple and cheap In
our own country, Mr.. Pell, of Esopus, in
this state, with aascientific zeal not more
praiseworthy than many other traits OF
character which he has exhibited (partic-
ularly an unpretending modesty, in con
trast with the impudence of foreign char
latan adyenturers, anxious for money and
distinctions they never could obtain, ex-
cept from those, who from ignorance, bow
to whatever rises from the east, whether
it be the sun or an ignis fatuus, has shown
how easily, not only trout, salmon, perch
and pike can be raised, but has demon
strated, in Advance ofthe acorld, that shad
and other like fish can be freshacaterized,
that is, made to grow, spawn and do well
in fresh water, and has conclusively prov
ed that whatsoever chooses, can have, not
only cheaply, but proftabIys a fish pond,
stocked with every desirable variety of
fish. If in America, what are called hon.
ors, were of any use, or meaning, he
should receive the highest our state can

THE CASH SYSTEM.

The Publishers of the various papers in this
county, deeming it alike advantageous to their
readers as to themselves, have determined to
adopt the cash system. This is the only true
basis upon which to expect success, both for
the reputation Of their paper, and the reward
of their labors A country paper, is, at best,
but poorly paying investment, for the pub
Usher The accounts are small and scattered;
and when permitted to stand from year to
year, are, in most cases, more trouble to collect
than they are worth This time lost, and ex-
pense incurred, if given to the Improvement of
the paper would materially advance its ap-
pearance and interest. Country editors have
much to contend with, that their readers know
not Of Oftentimes material is needed to carry
on their business, but for want of means. to
procure it, they are either forced to go without
it. or loose their time in running about the
country picking up dollar here and there: in
many Instances, collecting barely enough 70
carry them from one t5aom to another. =
It is to this cash system, that the city papers
owe Their great prosperity Ii at the begln-
ming Of the. year, the editor holds the prepaid
capital, he is enabled to make numerous addi-
tions and improvements in his paper, which,
by reason of the great uncertainty of the present
credit system he dare not risk. Farther than
this, it is a saving of half dollar each year
to every subscriber. Thus, by this proposed
alteration benefit will accrue both to the editor
and subscriber:-to the latter, double benefit.
First that it presents him with much superior
paper; secondly, that it presents him with a
considerably cheaper paper.
We fiatter ourselves, that, by this process
we can lay before our readers sheet second
to no country issue throughout the States; can
give them greater satisfaction, by our receipts,
that they have paid for what they are using;
and render our own hard lot more cheering and
encouraging.
